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.

[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.

[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! ]
