((Hiya folks, from an IC point of view this is what happened when ?Leo was arrested,to be continued,feel free to leave a comment))

In an impotent rage, Leo stood there staring at Gregor Richardson, his one time contact and ultimately his keeper until the authorities arrived on the scene. Meanwhile Leo had to keep still lest another bolt of magical energy be zapped into him by the blue tendrils that held him in place. After what seemed like days, a young member, probably only just joined, stepped out in front of him and laughed at the sight before him.

“Your Leo Rayne?” he asked, genuinely shocked.

“Yes you idiot, now are you gonna take me somewhere or just stand there like you have nothing better to do?”

The young man smiled a little, enjoying being in control for the time being. With a gesture the tendrils disappeared and a pair of handcuffs fastened themselves onto Leo’s wrist. These seemingly shocked the culprit, why use normal handcuffs on a dangerous criminal?

When he got outside and onto the plaza he saw why, about 50, if not more legacy chain and longbow was gathered outside the Freedom Corps Building, waiting for him to step out and into the red vortex that presumably led to his prison cell.

Leo looked solemn for a moment and made his decision.
Throwing his handcuffed hands around the neck of the legacy chain member he had met earlier, he backed into a wall to make show he could see any possible attack angle.

“One move and I swear I’ll snap him like a twig” he said threateningly.

A longbow warden stepped out and announced in an intimidating tone,

“We’re willing to take that chance Mr Rayne”

“I’m betting differently.”

The warden realised Leo wasn’t kidding.

A silence broke out between him and the warden and in a split second Leo saw his opportunity.
Grabbing a potion vial on the legacy chain member’s belt he uncorked it with his teeth and poured it onto the cuffs watching them corrode into nothingness. He kicked the chain member hard in the back into the crowd and couldn’t help but smile, with every ounce of magic coursing through his veins he willed him self to teleport as far away as he could.

Breathing heavily, Leo stepped out from the shadows. Checking around to make damn sure the area was clear, it was…or at least he thought it was till he saw the police drone whiz towards him, praying that the machine could be fooled he muttered to himself “conceal”.

In a blinding flash of light his body painfully distorted into the shape of a young woman, around 20 wearing a pink top and jeans, with short brown hair, he….she stepped forwards and looked into the screen of the police drone. A beam of red light was sent out and began scanning the girl, then Leo’s plan began to fall apart.
“Zzz….identified Leonardo Rayne...Zzz…status: Wanted criminal…..offences as follows:
Assault of a minor-unprovoked
Domestic violence- unprovoked
Attacking a licensed hero without provocation. Mr Rayne please stand still while you are rendered harmless to the public, you will shortly be transported to the ziggurat prison”
Leo transformed back into his normal form and muttered to himself “oh [censored]...” before being hit hard in the chest with a bolt of bluish energy, the last thing he heard before he blacked out was,
“Have a nice day”
Bloody drones!


Looking around him as he awoke, Leo saw he was in a clinical room. White and bland, with people in white coats and surgical masks around him. Struggling to sit up he fought against their multiple hands and even attempted teleporting out of their restraints to no avail. One of the doctors, or he presumed they were doctors...laughed at this gesture

“If there’s anything you can’t do in here. Mr Rayne, its use your magic”

“Where the hell am I?!” screamed Leo…some lingering feeling at the back of his mind telling him this wasn’t the ziggurat.

“Well,” said the man, his features becoming more distinguished now, tall with black hair and piercing hazel eyes, “you’re not in the Zig”

“How come that doesn’t surprise me?” questioned Leo, trying to keep his calm.

“Would it boost your morale if I said because you’re incredibly smart?” the man teased “I’m Lunus, you’ll be calling me sir from now on though,” he grinned at this and picked up a large syringe from the table of medical equipment. About to inject Leo, he stopped a little and pulled Leo’s arm out of its restraints. He was incredibly strong for a small man and he lunged forwards to inject with great ease. As the needle got closer Leo kicked the doctor hard in the back of the leg, sending the needle flying and the doctor to the floor.

“You forgot to tie my legs down….sir.”

“You’ll pay for that, insolent wretch!” Screamed Lunus and he dived for Leo’s throat with his iron grip it wasn’t long before Leo could feel everything going dark.
Almost out of hope, Leo let death come to him when a blinding flash of light came from above him, he recognised the light as an energy based attack, probably some dumb lumbering tanker coming to “save the day”

What he saw next really shocked him, looking up he saw a slender young woman, fists glowing from her attack, she smiled and snapped off Leos restraints, “Hello Leo” said Athena.
