metropolis ♔ has it gone for good? or is it coming back around?

[wynn]

Fireside - Arctic Monkeys

WHO || Oliver, Felicity S., Emma F., Bo, Brantley, Lex Luthor
WHAT || The Knights investigate a connection between Luthorcorp and Sarandis' experiments on Andres
WHERE || Metropolis Kansas
WHEN || April 23rd, 2015
HOW || Actionspam

Metropolis is a bustling city even during these cold winter months, but they have no trouble finding the Luthorcorp building - because it literally towers over the skyline, dwarfing the Daily Planet nearby. It's still daytime when they arrive, working hours, and employees in well tailored suits hustle in and out towards elevator banks, past the front desk.

[Clark doesn't waste any time following Emma since she seems like the one to keep up with in order to find Lois. He's wary to zoom out of there and expose his abilities to even more people so he'll just walk at normal speed.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Why do you guys have to be so rude? This group supposed to be filled with diplomatic people. Now, what do we have here? A weird guy with bow and arrows, a succubus who likes to stab people, a very scornful diamond girl, and some random guy who just go with the flow. Can't he be teamed with normal people? Brantley sighs as he turns to follow the guys. Cranky team-mates, no sign of getting laid tonight, and possibly they're about to have a super-rich villain put them on the dead-list. A sterling day, is it not?]

[telepathy]

Was Felicity able to make something of the records? [ Emma just assumes Ollie might know. ] We'll want something substantial to offer the appropriate authorities to shut this facility down.

[theterminator]

I'm sure she'll have whatever we need.

[Because he doesn't actually know. He was too busy saving Lois. But he has every bit of faith in Felicity.]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Clark turns towards Emma.]

The authorities? You're planning on trying to take on Luthorcorp?

[telepathy]

Not planning to, darling. Already in the process of.

[ Precious farmboy. Too good, too pure. ]

For now, I'll settle for closing the doors on this facility permanently. LuthorCorp is a much larger fish that's recently made our radar; I have a feeling it won't be so simple as blowing down Mr. Luthor's door and threatening him with our findings. Regardless of how long it takes, after seeing his work here, I do intend for us to fry him.

[theterminator]

[And then Ollie gets a text from Felicity and is like]

She's still downloading files. We should head back there.

[Before more of the facility's guards realize what's happening and try to intercept.

Strength in numbers, y'all. Plus they defenseless as hell.]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[You'll hear zero complaints from Clark about getting back to Lois. And also Felicity, I guess.]

Lex is dangerous. Just-- [He lets out a short sigh, not really wanting to get involved in their business but not wanting them to get themselves killed.] Be careful.

[fixyourproblem]

Don't worry, we will. [After all, they're hand-picked professional Knights. Saving the world is what they do on daily basis. Careful is in their blood.... probably...well...maybe not...]

Hold on, I just remember, I left Janik alone in the other room. I knocked him out cold but do you think we should check on him?

[succubestie]

Nope.

[Bo kind of hopes some of these monsters will come to their senses and go after him next.]

Pretty sure our own knights come first. We'll deal with him once Felicity is safe.

[And that doesn't not mean she'll 'check on him.' :)]

[telepathy]

Presumably, if he's unconscious, he won't be a problem until after we've regrouped and settled on how to proceed.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[hang on...]

Knights? [Wut]

[telepathy]

No, bloody circus performers. [ She has no plans to clarify. Do so at your own risk. ]

[succubestie]

If you're lucky, maybe we'll explain later.

[HE COULD BE USEFUL OKAY. /recruits the cute superpowered boy yolo]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[He just raises his eyebrows at Bo's comment. Well at least he knows there is more to all of this. He just nods and focuses on getting to Lois for now.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Recruit the super hunky guy? Ain't gonna say no to that.]

I just hope the crazy doctor doesn't wake up anytime soon and release more dreadful horrors at us.

[Just seeing them from the monitor was scary enough. Getting munched by them in real life? Yeah... thanks, but no thanks]

[telepathy]

[ snidely, ] Sir River, are you familiar with the notion of a "jinx," or are you thoroughly obtuse?

[ Anyway they come out near the lobby, in the hallway they'd split up in just behind the front desk. New thread! ]
