"Arrest us?" he challenges Marshall. "Why? Are you a cop? 'Cause I distinctly did not hear you announce yourself as one before you started waving that gun around and shooting at people. Got news for you, ese, this ain't Dodge City and you ain't Wyatt Earp."
"Do I know you? You look familiar. Oh, that's right, you're the guy who toasted Tony in the warehouse. I think we'll need to talk about that kid. And since the governor declared martial law after you guys started WW3 last night over there, I don't really have to deal with certain technicalities anymore."

He turns his attention to Nyx. "You weren't on the video. Unless you want to start answering some tough questions, I'd suggest you make yourself scarce." He motions with his revolver as though to shoo you away.
Slowly, carefully, he tries to move away from the scene holding Susan's hand.
The Cpt motions to one of the officers, "Get those two out of here and take their statements." His demeanor indicates he doesn't seem to think Harrisonor Susan are novas or threats.
Looking around he adds in alower voice "and we're legit NSA operatives."
"That so Shadowman. Got some credentials you'd like to show me?"

Fenris: The captain doesn't seem to notice you standing off to the side, but a couple of the officers glance at you uneasily as they walk past, moving to cuff the Rockman who hasz stopped screaming but still lies naked in the street, feebly stratching at the dirt.

The noise of the crowd increases as a mob of dozens of people emerge onto the street, led by the angry union folks from earlier. Your keen eyes pick out hammers, pipes, and a shotgun or two. As they close, you can hear the lead man, with a wrench in hand, yelling, "Officer Grumbles had it right boys! Let's do this thing! We aren't victims, we won't cower at the feet of the novas. Death to the Rockman! Death to the Rockman!"

The chant is picked up and everyone can now hear the approaching crowd. (Who should reach you in 3 pages!)

"Oh *," mumbles Cptn Marshall as he glances back at the approaching mob.

Javier bristles at Marshall's tone but manages to keep his temper barely in check.

At the sight of the approaching mob, he calls out, "In a few minutes, this place will turn into a slaughterhouse, unless we do something to hold them back. Question is, Marshal Earp, you gonna let us do our thing, or shoot us with your fancy popgun there?"

"Yeah, I think that's my cue anyways," Nyx says before spinning his arms out in a wide circle, leaving Harrison out so as not to blow his cover. The water on the ground reacts and forms a dome around him and the other Nova's (Rockman included) the water hardens into ice, "Lets get out of here before the mob rips that man apart, we can make a pit stop at the police station!"

(Power Trick turning Water Construct (4 pts) into Force Shield 1 (Enhancement: 5x5 area, Enhancement: no concentration)= 4pts

3 Hero Points left (I think... lost some notes).

Fenris enjoys watching and "blending in" without being the source of the Frankenstien's mob's fury.

Harrison obeys with an annoyed glance at the Nova group.
//I can't let her undergo this...I just can't...If she's publicly linked to the Novas she'll face the distrust, the fear , the hate of the masses...//
"Officer Grumbles had it right boys! Let's do this thing! We aren't victims, we won't cower at the feet of the novas. Death to the Rockman! Death to the Rockman!"
//You must be kidding me... That Rockman has gathered that much resentment? Or does he portray all hate against Novas...We're a menace to such an extent?! That's unbelievable... Someone must have set their mind ablaze//
(he's not necessarily talking about Johnny Smalls)
Bewildered, Harrison hugs Susan

(I remember they talked about the rockman on Tv. I don't remember if he did some damages or crimes)

"Maybe we can discuss this later." replies Nycto to Marshall.

We can't hurt them. They will turn on us, and confirm their "suspicions", that Novas are all bad.

Nycto turns to the others and says "I'll try to talk them out of this. If it doesn't work I'll take us all out of here."

An to the Mob he says "This Nova is under arrest, he will be judged by a JUDGE, not by you . You are becoming worst than him, and are performing a crime. Stop this foolishness."

Ooc:
Nycto will try to intimidate the mob.

"Yeah, you talk to the nice people," Javier says lightly. "We'll be right here being ready in case they decide to ignore you."

He calls out to the police captain. "Yo, Marshal Earp! How about you tell your boyz to make themselves useful and help the innocent civilians get the * out of the way?"

I feel the need to point out that Nyx has you all enclosed in a wall of ice at the moment...

Nyx looks a bit shocked, "Seriously? You want to stay and fight?" he shakes his head, "At least send Rockman off to the police department, before he gets killed," it finally hits Alex that's he's geniunely concerned for a guy who would have ripped his head off a few moments ago.

[That's why Javier "calls" out to Marshall. I suppose I could replace that with "yells" if you feel it necessary.]

Javier spares a glance at the water-wielding Nova.

"Well," he quips, "unless you have a Ski-Doo stashed in your shorts, we ain't goin' anywhere, what with Nick-toe there chattin' the crowd up."

Lol, what? My post about Nyx's action just happened to fall after your post; it was not directed specifically at Javi's action.

The two officers cuff the naked Pole (no pun intended) and lift him to his feet. They appear rather startled by the sudden appearance of the ice wall, as does the other officer who was trying to herd Harrison and susan off to safety.

Cptn Marshall taps the ice with the butt of his pistol, then lets out a disgusted snort. He turns around, holsters the revolver, and crosses his arms in a gesture of annoyance.

"I'm not sure what law this breaks, but I'm sure this isn't legal," he says, gesturing at the wall of ice with his thumb.

Fenris finally speaks. "Captain Marshall, this is your jurisdication. The mob is approaching us. I believe Nycto can take us all to another location if you want to avoid a confrontation. What do you want us as law-abiding citizens to do?" He asks crossing his arms clearly more concerned for the mob's safety than his own.

[Heh. Never mind then. I also had not read the post in the other thread when I replied so I wasn't aware the good captain was sharing the accommodations. :)]

//So much for our swift retreat...// Harrison thinks.
//I'm muzzled... No wisecrack...Keep it lowpro my boy...Dirty Harry is not definitely on our side...You don't want him to handcuff Susan at her college one day...//
Harrison simply tries to reassure Susan
