Subway Rumble

by Honey Badger

I followed Scarlet Sprite, Assault, and Battery into the subway. We left The Commandant behind to discuss things with the IERA agents. Apparently "Doc" now goes by "Rollie," according to the IERA supers. We quickly found ourselves in a subway rumble with Rollie's minions who were armored up and equipped with energy rifles. Meanwhile, the mysterious superhuman in blue engaged a pair of GENO-enhanced bruisers. The minions were easily defeated, but there was another opponent that lurked in the shadows.
 
I was busy dealing with the minions, but there ended up being a teen girl with enervation powers lurking within the shadows. She managed to use her powers to frustrate Assault, Battery, and the man in blue. I made my way over there and watched the fight between Rollie's henchmen and the man in blue (I suspected he was with Level 37, this criminal and terrorist organization that's popped in the news). Since the battle was evil versus evil, I dryly remarked that I'd let them it out. I then proceeded to assist the others. I realized that the enervation powers were coming from a waiting room, so I combined my questionite claws and Assault's super-strength to destroy the cover.
 
Then out came the fleeing teenage goth girl. Battery confronted her, while the suspected Level 37 agent disappeared. This made the GENO henchmen chase after me, so I turned around to confront them: my claws against theirs.
 
I'm not sure what happened to Scarlet Sprite in the battle. The strange nymph seemed to have disappeared in the chaos. I'm sure she's all right.
 
And...according to Dr. Moses, Assault and Battery were supervillains (Thunder and Lightning) before they got recruited by IERA. Well, I'm not surprised that a bunch of globalist tyrants would recruit from the worst elements of society. It's the same snert I saw back in South Africa. Still, I'm glad that they are being constructive by taking down a bunch of drug dealers. I'll keep working with them until the formula is in sight and then it's on if they get in my way or try to arrest me.
