"You got that one, I got this one. Let's see who can break his open first."

Nyx pipes off to Javi, pointing to the now inactive BuzzBot, "I'm still counting that as a win."

He's looking after the wounded

Overdrive begins to move around the carnage, trying to not lose his lunch at the sight of dismembered limbs and opened torsos. Movement and a low moan catches his attention and he runs over to a man that is, impossibly, still alive.

"Help me.." he whispers, his chest an open wound, his ribs exposed and sawed in half.

Overdrive turns and yells for help but only sees the frightened faces of the police waiting in fear behind armored vehicles while the other novas try to figure out what to do with the ApeBot trapped in Javi's flames.

He yells again but Captain Marshall signals for his men to remain where they are. "Not going to risk any more lives, got it?"

"This is bullsh*t," someone yells and pushes past the police, his words echoing Overdrive's thoughts. A thin man in a gray suit rushes forward and drops to his knees in front of the dying man.

"I got him, see if anyone else is alive," he commands Harrison. Overdrive stands and walks among the dead, finding everyone else well beyond help. He rushes back to the suited man's side to help, startled to find the trauma victim fully healed, his shirt shredded and bloody but his bones and flesh fully mended.

The nova's eyes turn to the man who is slouched to the side, his hands covered in blood. "You healed him?"

He nods his head weakly and Overdrive realizes blood is pouring from under his jacket. "I'll be ok, just give me a minute," he gasps, clearly in pain.

Overdrive helps him to lay down, his jacket falling open, showing the same wounds that the other man had just a minute ago. Seeing his look of concern, he smiles weakly. "Really, I'll be ok, I stitch up quickly," he laughs then spits up a bit of blood. "But God does it hurt."

Even as he watches the man in the blood stained suit, the blood stops flowing and his own, inherited wounds heal up. A minute later he's on his feet, looking around. "Anyone else?"

Harrison shakes his head no. The man is obviously releaved.

Fenris spots the man in the suit covered in blood talking to Overdrive, another man sitting up who you could have sworn must have been dead just a few minutes ago.

Oh and ApeBot is still in the flames!

"I guess that tickles a bit...And it must cost a fortune in dry-cleaning each time aswell...But that's * handy! Saving lives suddenly makes sense.
Apart for bashing heads ,I'm helpless in such cases. Thank you!"

He offers an handshake.
"The name is Overdrive.Who am I speaking to?." he asks with a smile

The man wipes his hands on his suit, leaving dark red smears before he shakes Overdrive's hand.

"Aaron Smith, but everyone calls me Stitch." He looks a bit self conscious at his suit then laughs. "Didn't figure I'd be doing this on my lunch break."

Nyx looks over to check on Overdrive and notices the newcomer, "Hey! Who's your friend?"

Javier grins at Nyx. "Sure you do," he says, chuckling.

He lifts his hands in a theatrical gesture and the flames surrounding the Apebot vanish in a puff of smoke.

Although Javier acts nonchalantly, it's hard not to miss the obvious burns marring his arms. Strangely, the tattoos are untouched.

"That's the first time we meet. I present to you "Stitch".
He can heal any wounds after a rather unpleasant process ...

Stitch, that's Nyx, the only one who can stay cool with a bathing cap!
By the way Nyx,do you know how to join our mutual friend? He way have a clue about what happened with the bots...

Nycto looks towards the newcomer but, as the fire dwindles, he refocus on the large robot.

"Yeah, I'll call him up in a moment," Nyx would call now, but he's nervously observing the ApeBot for signs of attack.

The giant Apebot crashes to the ground, lifeless.

The elderly man in the gray suit smiles weakly at the group. He spots Javi's smouldering skin and the bloody gash from the BuzzBot and moves forward. "Do you, um, need help?" he asks sheepishly.

Nestor · Post by **Nestor** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 11:33 pm

Javier starts at the old man's question, surprised. "Huh? Whu?" he asks. He holds up his arms as if he just now notices the burns.

"Naw," he declines the offer absently, "You dance with the devil, you gotta be willing to pay the cover charge."

Nycto relaxes visibly, and lets the battle adrenalin fade, bringing sore muscles, and tiredness.

Turning to the newcomer he introduces himself "I'm Nycto. Pleased to meet you. So what's your story?"

Fenris approaches the group with his feral nature waning and listens to the answer to Nycto's question.

Dustland · Post by **Dustland** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 7:10 pm

"I'm Nycto. Pleased to meet you. So what's your story?"

"Nycto eh? Well good to meet you too. Not much of a story; I'm a taxidermist, hince the name "Stitch". I just moved here a few weeks ago from Texas. After the, um, event thing, I just didn't feel settled so I packed up and started driving. When I got here, it just felt right, so here I am.

"Oh..." he fumbles through his pockets and produces a bunch of business cards, smudged with the blood on his hands which he tries to wipe off unsuccessfully before handing them out to everyone. They read: 'Stitch's Taxidermy, Taxidermist to the Stars'.

The whoomp whoomp whoomp of approaching helicopters stops the conversation. Three MH-6 "Little Birds" come flying low over the buildings, circle, then drop a dozen armed men atop three seperate buildings then lift off once again, flying in a low orbit over the downtown area.

"About * time," you hear Captain Marshall grumble as he oversees Dr Mortinson's attempt to retrieve the cpus from the various robots.

"Good to meet you guys, you know, folks like me, trying to do the right thing and all that. I don't really want to get anymore involved with all this going on here so I'm gonna go now. If you need me, give me a ring, ok?" He waves meekily then turns to walk away, shoulders slumped on his elderly frame.

The captain catches your attention and waves you all over to a cruiser. "About those credentials, I'd like to see 'em now."

A real asset if we ever get seriously hurt... thinks Nycto.

As he hears captain Marshall "Oh boy, here we go again... Sure I'll follow you!" Let's hope The Doorman is for real...
