Jason waits to see if the wall holds. If not he'll charge in and try to take the monsters strength, "I'll try, but there's a limit on what I can take in terms of physical ability..."

Volsung: Boost uses his actions to copy powers, not the target (you).
Question 1: It is very late, the diner and WalMart are both open 24 hours and both have customers.
Question 2: Don't worry about rockman's rolls :)


Overdrive delivers an acrobatic kick to the rockman's head, landing with a crack. The grimace on Overdrive's face reveals who got the worse of the strike.

Javier brings the firewall up, trying to surround the rockman:

The wall of fire springs up around the rockman, who howls with rage once again.

Jason West can now act or hold his action to see if the rockman bashes his way out of the firewall

Javier stands, his hands spread out, the heat coming off the tattoos making them look as if they are writhing in the haze.

"Awright, I got Ragnarok'n'roll there stewing in his own juices,' he announces quite unnecessarily. "Any ideas what to do with him?"

"I don't have a clue!" Overdrive answers out loud.
//Even if we knock him down....How can you hold such a titan behind bars?!// He thinks, puzzled.
He gazes at the dome of fire, trying to notice the men's rocky shape in the inferno.
"Hey blockhead! I know you can understand me!" He shouts out.
"Who the * are you?! And why on earth would you want to destroy a Wallmart?!! Their rates are peerless! Don't you have better things to do?! Get a Life for Christ's sake!"
(Yeah sure...)

"Co cholery jest!" the rockman screams from behind the wall of fire, shielding his eyes from the heat and flame.

A pair of police cars speed by on the street; you see one of them slow down enough to look, eyes wide, at the bizarre scene in the parking lot of WalMart, then speed off in the direction of the blast you all saw in the sky.

Turning your attention back to the rockman who is yelling in his strange language (completely ignoring Overdrive's presence). Reaching down, the creature (man?) begins to tear huge chunks of asphalt and concrete up; within moments, he has burrowed into the ground and out of sight!

My apologies if my translation doesn't make 100% sense, if you happen to speak the rockman's language!

Order of Action:
1) Overdrive
2) Javier and Jason West

(I don't, but google does^^ And that's understandable. I've got one or two friends from Poland by the way,but I don't think asking them would be necessary ;) )
A pair of police cars speed by on the street;* then speed off in the direction of the blast you all saw in the sky.

Overdrive briefly notice them from the corner of his eye.
//They walked away without looking back?! Either the world gone mad...Or there's an even greater danger ahead...//
He bites his 'metallic' lip.
//Come on! We're probably needed there aswell...Susan, mom, Bethany ,Kenneth... Where are you?...//
Reaching down, the creature (man?) * has burrowed into the ground and out of sight!
"Seriously?" Overdrive blurts.
//If I follow him his tunnel, once underground I won't be able to dodge easily...He'll play me like a drum...//
Closing his eyes, he focus on his danger sense.
//Where are you?...//

Javier's eyes goggle at the rock man's impressive departure.

"Wa'da'fu...?" he stutters in surprise. "Aw, c'mon! That just ain't fair!"

He drops the firewall then begins looking around suspiciously, like a nervous swimmer waiting for the shark to pop out and chew his leg off.

Jason runs to the hole and cracks his knuckles, "If he comes back up, he's not escaping the same way!"

Now that's funny and gives me an evil idea for the next villain :)

After Javier drops the wall of fire, Jason edges closer to where the rockman dug into the earth.

Boost: You assumed there would be a tunnel where the rockman dug into the earth but as you approach the turned up ground, you realize the ground had collapsed behind him. How far down he might be is anyone's guess.

After a few tense minutes, the rockman fails to reappear, but you all note the steady stream of emergency vehicles heading north to where the explosion happened in the sky.

(Insider info: The Polish Rockman (catchy, right?) isn't coming back anytime soon.)

"Ok...He's gone.I guess I changed his mind with my unrelenting argumentation...Whatever..." But Overdrive does not relax... on the contrary.

"Dudes, a * plane crashed to the north. We're needed there and can't afford to loose more precious time. Moreover my familiy is scattered all around the city.I can't stay any longer without knowing if they're allright."
Suddenly he super-jumps on the walmart roof.Keeping a low profile was not his concern anymore.
(In case you didn't notice, I'm the kind of player who loves to lay it on thick ;) )

From his vantage point he shoots out "We can join up there, if we don't...we stick to the plan anyway"
(My intend is that Overdrive super-jump from roof to roof to reach the crash site as quickly as possible)

Javier looks at Overdrive's receding figure. "What?" he grouses. "Is my driving so bad he'd rather hoof it?"

He turns and hurries towards the hopefully-still functional Nova, calling to Jason over his shoulder. "C'mon. We can't leave him alone for long. He'll end up boring everyone to death with one of his speeches."

Jason's new found armor slips away, as does his strength and agility, "Yeah, let's get going, I'll be useless until we get around other Novas." Jason looks about trying to find a shortcut from where they are to the plane crash.

Javier gets the car going and ekes out every ounce of performance out of the beat-up junker to rush to the scene.
