Library
The press instantly react to the second time a hero speaks to them, and start to push against the police barrier to get to the heroes, "Whats your name?" "Are you with the knights?" "Who's the midget?" They yell out eagerly.
The building was still in good shape. No damage to the area. Pieces of the car were everywhere however. And the Firemen had put the fire out. One body was found inside. Well... parts of it. But the body was defienatly not in any shape to be I.D'ed easily.
For the heroes near the main police captain, they would hear a report coming through his radio that a civil building had been attacked. The police man turned away from Cyphoid as he listened to the new report

Microbe listens to the goings on.
"Man this is boring, when am I going to be able to beat the crap outta some villains?" says Microbe with a youthful exuberance.

Epsilon:
Epsilon feels an immediate sense of urgency. Even phased as he was, he could feel the heat.
He flies to the safest point in the room and shifts back to his solid state. In the next instant, he raises a gravitic bubble around himself to ward off any incoming flames. He then regrets that this era's fire suppression systems are so ancient... such a thing would never have happened in his time.
Epsilon throws off the thought. The people of this era needed him. The first thing he does is try to douse the approaching flames by drawing the air away gravitically. Once that is done, he tries to open the door from the inside. If that fails, he'll blast the door open with a gravitic blast...
Flurry:
Flurry waits and pouts in annoyance until she hears the screaming above her.
Flurry puts all thoughts of Epsilon out of her mind. This lady needed help! Maybe if she helped her, Epsilon wouldn't be such a meanie to her anymore. If she was going to be a hero, she needed a hero to help her understand her powers...
Flurry fluttered up to the top floor, carried aloft by her wings. Maybe now she was going to show that Epsilon that she wasn't a useless tagalong girl.
"Heya, I'm Flurry, and I'm here to do the whole rescue thing, and I'll get you out in a big jiff, and it'll be all cool again. C'mon, I'll fly you down, cool?"
She tried to sound heroic, but deep down, she was nervous. She was babbling nervously and she knew it. She'd never done anything like this before. And worse... it was so hot in this place. She tried to sound like Epsilon, but it was so hard.
Flurry takes hold of the woman and flies her down gently to the ground.
(Buff-- If there are any paramedics on the ground, Flurry is taking the woman there.)

Epsilon
The flames dramatically weaken with Epsilon's effort, but unfortunatly the door controls are jammed. However, the door blasts off easily enough. Looking out from the newly created entrance he created, Epsilon should be able to see the firemen now rush towards him.
Flurry
The flight is shaky, but she manages to get the women down. Unfortunatly the woman wont remember a thing because she fell unconscience as soon as she left the window...... The paramedics take her just as the door blows open

Flurry doesn't even seem to notice as the woman goes unconscious.
"There, there," she says, smiling happily. "Didn't I say I was gonna get you down, and everything was gonna be all better? Now it's all gonna be okay, and these guys are gonna take care of you, and you'll be all cool again. Sorry, gotta run, or cape boy's gonna be real mad at me, cause I gotta bunch of other people to save. Take care now!"
Flurry then notices the doors blast open. She zooms over to Epsilon just as the firemen start rolling in.
"Sorry, sorry," Flurry says as Epsilon gives her a stern glance. "Places to be, people to save, and all that stuff. But I took care of this nice lady, and she's gonna be okay now, and..."
"You did well," Epsilon says, gently pulling her along with a gravity field. "Now come along. Can you freeze the flames before they take hold?"
"Well... I'm not really crazy about the heat, and I kind of need moisture to do it, and I need some serious distance..."
"Yes or no?"
"Yeah, but.."
"Then I need you to do so," Epsilon says, dragging Flurry along with him. "Quickly."
"All right all right already," Flurry says, speeding along after Epsilon, her voice babbling on behind him...
Epsilon and Flurry move on ahead, along the way dousing any of the flames they come across...

Carl ran in front of the big classical building. He finally made it. Taking a deep breath, he looks around for the fire they were reporting on the news. He was beginning to wonder how this hero business could get him rich. With a start, he realized there was no fire. He then began muttering to himself, "where's the @#*$ !%#@ fire? Didn't they say it was in front of the museum?"
Carl scratches his ear, staring at the Moorelan Museum. Spotting a taxi nearby, he approaches the driver, "Hey buddy, you got a radio? Wasn't there supposed to be a fire here? Actually, wasn't there two fires? And which one are we closer to?"
(Buffy - what's the response?)

At the park, Art and Aithne enjoy the beautiful day. Art is entertaining a group of kids by making the flowers grow in an unkempt bed of grass. Aithne is manipulating the water in the fountain to spray onto nearby kids, who are giggling and laughing.
They hear an explosion and both stop what they are doing, to the groans and complaints of the children. Art and Aithne immediately smile and reassure the kids that they'll be back. They perform a few quick tricks to keep the kids happy and then leave the park.
They wander towards the sounds, finally finding the library. They stand on the edge of the crowd, watching a man lift a car while being attacked by a smaller man. And then a mechanical-looking man appears and starts to mediate things. Art and Aithne look at each other and wonder whether they should get involved. This is why their mother had sent them here.
Aithne makes the decision for them and grabs Art's arm, dragging him towards the super-beings. She's about to say hi when the report comes over the radio about the civil building being attacked.

Carl (the Museum Will?!? LOL)
"Yeah..." The cabbie looks at Carl for a second before continuing "I heard from one of the guys near the Library, there's been some kind of explosion. Not here though. Up that way" He pointed up the street. "The library. It's only a couple of blocks that way."
He proceeded to roll up his window "I aint going that way though. Traffic will be mad"
Then he drives off.
The Factory
The firemen follow the heroes and help with the flames as much as they can, allowing the heroes to do as much as the work as possible. Not too far into the building the lead fireman calls to Epsilon.
"There's a room up that corridor that controls the sprinkler system. Can you get down there and see if you can switch it on? It should have worked by now.... We can help the people that are trapped!" He yells loudly over the roar of the fires.
he points down a burning corridor and then leads his team in the opposite direction.
Library (gonna wait a for a few more reactions from the guys)

Hero will complete his circuit of the library to make sure nothing is missed - but he'll speed up so he can get back to the cops faster.
Landing by the Captain, he will ask, "Is something amiss, officer? And do you know the status of the other explosion? If there are already heroes there, I would like to offer my assistance wherever it might be needed."

Hero
"Uh...... yeah" the Captain stopped for a second and thought "We could use you at the fire... there's alot more desperate need there. Besides, there's also a lot of heroes here too.... Thanks for your help...... uh..... whats your name again?" He extends his hand

"I am Hero," Hero admits, shaking the Captain's hand carefully, so as not to hurt him. "I will help with the fire, as you suggest. I would be grateful if you could tell them I am on my way, so that they do not mistake my intent."
So another blasted kid doesn't take a pop at me, he added, but only to himself.
Rising into the air, Hero saluted the Captain and flew upwards and away... Towards the second explosion. He was needed, and he'd die before he failed.

Hero
"OK. Great to see your kind in Moorelans Hero" The Captain smiled and radioed the message to the fire scene

He didn't laugh at the name! Hero thought to himself as he zoomed through the air towards the second fire. Someone will doubtless call themselves 'Captain Underpants' one of these days, and they'll all take it seriously. Kids today...
He shook his head, eyes narrowing as he looked to the burning building ahead.
"Are you Hero?" a fireman called up as he swooped lower.
"I am," Hero replied firmly. Dam... darn straight he was!
"There are heroes there already," the fireman added. "If you can hook up with them, maybe?"
"Thank you," Hero nodded, trying hard not to swear. More blasted kids! All he needed!
Seeing a girl with wings... A girl with WINGS?!?... headed towards the building, Hero swooped to join her.
"I am Hero," he told her. "Do you know if there are any victims left inside?"

Carl blows out a breath. The Library?! Story of his life. Never quite got anything right, or on time. Carl started off towards the library to find what the remains were.
Once arriving, he sees all the heroes that are there. Scratching his head, he shrugs and goes towards the police captain and asks, "Do you need any more help?"
Looking towards Cyphoid, and remarks, "Wow, nice duds!" And then thinks to himself, he must have spent a fortune on his gear. Now that's a hero who knows how to make money.

Art hears the Captain speak of a fire and he turns to Aithne, "Fire. I can help there."
Aithne looks concerned, "But it's at a factory... there could be a lot of ..." she hesitates, not wanting to speak fo their weakness to pollution.
Art nods gravely, "Yes, but we should help when we can. If you fly us there, maybe we can avoid most of the..." he leaves it unspoken.
Aithne sighs and turns to the Captain, "Is the situation at the factory still out of control? Or do you need more help at the civil building?"

Library
Just as Carl makes his remark about Cyphoid, when he bends down to take another breathe, he'll be looking straight down on a burnt and bent licence plate from a car.
The blown up car is just a burnt out wreck now, and apart from the few crazed fans, only the news stay in the crowd. The rest starts to leave the area. The police in response start to take in pieces of evidence, and a detective has already shown up to start taking photos and such.
The captain looks over at the heroes, and makes a general remark. "Thanks for showing up when you did, but it looks like we got the situation in control... I'm heading over to the civil building if any of you would like to join me?" I indicates his squad car. "I sent a unit over there... but I should have heard back by now... there's been now radio communication with them."
He looks to the twins. "You can do which you like. I just sent some other Hero over there a second ago, you just missed him. From what I've heard, recently it seems like their making progress in getting things under control."
He gets in the squad car and waits for anyone who might want to join him

"Allow me," Epsilon says, smiling with full optimism. "I shall aid as best I can."
He looks to Flurry, who is feeling obviously uncomfortable. He remembers what she said about drawing power from moisture. He gives her a look of concern. He has faith that she will persevere. He knows everything will work out for the best, come what may.
"Leave the sprinkler system to me," Epsilon tells her. "Go out and see if you can help any others. If you can gather more moisture, perhaps you can return and be of help."
"Okay, I guess I can run if you say so and all," Flurry babbles on, "But are you sure that you don't need any help and that you can handle all this icky flame and the awful heat and stuff by your lonesome? Cause if you need me, I can so be here and..."
"All will be well," Epsilon promises her. "The task will prove no trouble for me. I shall meet you outside."
Epsilon doesn't give Flurry a chance to respond. He flies off in a gravity field and heads off in the direction of the sprinkler system, dousing the flames with his powers...
*
Flurry sighs in relief as she emerges from the factory. She soaks in the ambient moisture with a happy grin, feeling her body recharge from the heat. Maybe that Epcot guy wasn't the total meanie, even if he wouldn't let him help with the sprinklers and...
In the next second, she notices this other hero fly down to join her. He kind of reminded her of cape boy, and they even looked sort of the same age. Were they together, maybe? Flurry didn't have a clue about any of this costume stuff...
"You're with that Epsilon guy or something, am I right?" Flurry asks, her wings buzzing with interest. "Cause you've gotta be if you look like that and fly around like he does, and where did you get the costume, cause do you buy at the same store or something?"
Seeing his expression, Flurry gives him a resigned pout.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be like that already and look all serious all the time," she goes on. "There's some people the fire guys are trying to help out inside and stuff, but Epsilon's gonna take care of the sprinkler system, so you don't have to worry. Epsilon's this cool hero guy like you, you know, except he made me wait out here to recharge which isn't any fun..."
"So, we gonna do something cool now?" Flurry asks eagerly. "Can I help, cause I know I can help you and get those guys out and stuff if you want me to. I'll even introduce you to Epsilon, even if he's a major stiff and you might even get along! Wouldn't that be cool?"

Epsilon
As Epsilon flys down the corridor he easily finds the control room, and its a bit of good news to say the room is a fire proof room, so he can relax while within it.

As Epsilon flies on, he feels the tug of memory about him...
He relives the memory of a deck fire after an engagement in the Outer Worlds. He remembers a similar panic, struggling to reestablish power in main engineering. He remembers feeling afraid the first time, pushing himself onward only through concern for his comrades. Was it like that for these firemen, who didn't even have the basic sort of powers to fend off the rising flames? He felt only admiration for the people of this era, who could brave such disasters without the benefits he'd taken for granted...
He reaches the control room and finally lowers the gravity bubble. He examines the controls and looks for a way to activate the fire suppression system...

Eager, Hero thinks. And definitely well meaning, if flighty. A promising youngster?!? Would miracles never cease?
"Might I ask what your powers are?" he asks, his eyes scanning the building for signs of people in need of rescue. First he would locate them, then he would rescue them. If this girl could help, so much the better. "And what did this factory make?" he added as an afterthought. "Is there anything in there that fire might set off?"
(Buff - while talking, Hero is also looking caefully for signs of civilians in the building. Does he spot any?)
