Why would we need light when we have darksight, echolocation and heatvision?

>>38563397
We don't need the light. We don't want to rouse suspicion by altering it.

>>38563397
And enough sense of smell to locate people.

That reminds me, smell for the girl we are looking for. We should be able to smell her, if she is here.

>>38563397
Its not that we need light its that no light would tip them off. It would give us an huge edge though so we should do it when both Laura and ourselves are in position to take them out.

Bingo.

Essentially any goon working in major hero city's in this verse is going to be paranoid as all hell.

>[X] Case.

“Yeah.” You draw in a long breath. Smells about right. “I think you’re right.”

Quiet, then.

Laura makes short work of the fence, and the two of you head in, cloaked under the effect of your invisibility. The plot of land surrounding the building is matted grass and damp earth, totally untended and unused for anything but establishing a safe perimeter around the place. You quickly realize that there’s no-one patrolling the exterior – which makes sense.

As far as you’ve gathered, Alicia’s kidnappers were under Mr. Negative’s employ, only working with the Bratva as a one-off. The Russians probably expected any retribution to fall squarely between the shoulders of the New York Triads.

Tapping quietly on one of the building’s walls, you let your echosense sketch out an image of the interior. There’s two floors. The first opens out into the river, a small yacht bobbing to and fro in the water. There are a number of industrial crates interspersed across the ground, but you’d need a closer feel at them to determine the contents – as it is, you only get vague, blurry shapes. You count eight heartbeats. three on the ground, four on the yacht. You think the last one is sitting on the stairs leading up to the second level.

Which, speaking of, is mostly just a framework of gangways running along the windows. Anyone up there can probably see straight down into the first floor. You count five heartbeats up there.

You bite your lip. It’s a pretty safe assumption that they’re armed.

This isn’t exactly ideal. You assume you’ll have to make some noise, eventually, and when you do you’ll be exposed from either above or below. You didn’t really want to split up, but…

Squeezing Laura’s hand slightly, you point to yourself, and then up at the windows looming above. She nods in silence, green eyes immediately comprehending, and tracing a finger from her chest to the heavy iron doors that stand slightly ajar at the front of the building. You get the strange, sudden impression that she’s slightly impressed – or that she at least approves. You’re not sure where it comes from, exactly, it’s just something about the way her weight shifts and her eyes linger.

Parting, you palm your way up the side of the building, making good time. Your horns (really? Horns?) throw off your balance a little, but you’re quickly getting used to them. You can’t retract them right now, but you can sort of feel that it’s possible, if that makes sense. You guess the gut-curdling fear has something to do with that.

>(2/2)

Arriving at one of the windows, you glance in. By a stroke of dumb luck, you’ve managed to find one right beside a lone guard. He’s a big guy, his broad shoulders seeming unaccustomed to the drab suit they find themselves in, and he looks out over the complex below with an SMG cradled under one arm. You note that he’s carrying it properly, too, with the nose down.

His closest friend is about seven or eight meters away, on the other end of the gangway. Three other men (correction: two men, one woman) converse quietly by the adjacent side of the building.

Your heart pounds in your chest. You swallow your fear, lift the window open, and slip inside, your passage generating little more than a sigh of displaced air. The big Russian never sees you coming – you wrap your hand around his throat and let the volts flow, easing him down to the ground when he goes limp.

You’re in.

Guys, just a friendly reminder that looks like it might come in handy soon.

Enhanced Dexterity + JJ's GeoInt + Enhanced Strenght + an smg
With some training he could control the recoil completely and have deadly accuracy with each shoot, potentially 360noscoping a room full of russian mafiosos.
Or, if killing people leaves a bad taste in your mouth, shoot their guns out of their hands.
I wonder if it would be possible to intercept bullets shot at him with either an smg or his own optic blasts tho.

>>38564379

Checking the guy’s pulse, you pick up his gun.

It’s almost eerie, how your hands work almost of your own accord, transferring the weapon into a hold that is a carbon copy of the way you saw him carrying it earlier. Creepy, that. Useful, but extremely creepy, and maybe a little existentially worrying?

Eying the remaining guards, to get to work, progressing quietly down the corrugated gangway.

You catch the first man completely unawares. He goes down in a fit of spastic twitching, his eyes rolling wildly in their sockets before he loses consciousness. A thin line of wet, clear vomit dribbles down his chin, and you quickly make sure he’s in no danger of choking before leaving him to the relative bliss of unconsciousness.

The last three are difficult. They’re talking to one another in hushed tones, one or two of them chuckling occasionally, and they don’t look to be leaving each other’s presence anytime soon. Which means you’ll have to be quick, and, possibly, extremely brutal.

>(2/2)

The first one, a large bald man with a grin that is about 60% fillings, catches the brutal end of things. You simply can’t taze them all in one motion, so you bring the butt of the SMG down on the back of his head, keeping as much of your strength in reserve as possible. His eyes wheel upward in his head and he staggers down to the floor. His friends get a second to appreciate what’s happening as you materialize out of the dark, leaping off their companion’s back, before you close your claws around their throats.

“Hnk”–

That’s all they get out. Your palms loose a stream of electricity through them, eliciting a brief moment of confused spasms from the pair before they go limp. Feeling a little drained, you ease them down to the ground.

Taking a moment to catch your breath, you sniff at the air, and realize you can smell blood.

Down below, Laura and one of the men on the lower floor are tucked behind one of the crates that litter the place. He’s slumped at her feet, the blood rapidly draining from a slim cut across his throat.

Yikes.

This, I'm not saying we should go out of our way to kill them, I'm just saying we have no aversion to killing them if it means doing our job, taser hands are more effective than claws, so is slitting a throat quickly. Once they are down theres no reason to go out of our way to hurt them further, except maybe to incapacitate them. Laura is using lethal force because thats her most reliable way to neutralize an enemy. Which is acceptable.

>>38564827

If it's the only way to get out of a sticky situation or to make sure that no one will come after us or make more trouble? Go for it.

Well, we could go to each one of these guys and knock them out with strength 3--it's possible. Or we could very quickly and accurately put a couple bullets in each heart and reach the hostage quicker. This is a hypothetical non-stealth situation.

It's so often possible to avoid killing, but just consider what or who you are risking. In this case - Alicia's life/hostage rescue + the objective >>> mafia kidnappers.

Well, she seems to be handling herself. You wish she didn't have to kill these guys, though. You know they're all basically scumbags, but you know how taking a life feels.

Maybe it's different for her. Somehow, you don't think so.

You take a deep breath, letting the building and its contents stew a while in your lungs. Rusted metal, algae, cigarette smoke. Blood, water – you flinch a little at those. They’re not a happy combo for you.

It doesn’t take long to pick up Alicia – she smells nothing like the rest of this place. Her life is one of early breakfasts, constantly new clothes, and fresh flowers. She smells of a world constantly renewing itself; new things to wear, new things to try, new presents, new fashions, new friends. She’s a kaleidoscope, a whirling concentric rainbow.

She’s in the yacht, as you somewhat expected.

You edge your way down the stairs, finding that the man that had been sitting there is no longer among the living, Laura having propped him up against the railings on either side of the steps to produce the illusion of sleeping on the job.

You estimate three more left on the ground.

They’re not hard to make your way around. They can’t see you, and they’re not expecting trouble, so you manage to make your way almost up to the gangplank extending out to the yacht. As you approach, however, someone emerges, followed closely by another two set of figures.

The first is a small, mousy women somewhere in her late teens – probably your age or a year younger. She has fair, freckled skin and a mop of unruly brown hair. Her skinny frame is absolutely covered in thin scars, the echoes of many tiny cuts criss-crossing their way up her arms and across most of her exposed flesh. Even the lower sides of her cheeks are flecked with little dots of scar tissue, as though she was once hit by a whole lot of tiny, sharp rocks. Her eyes dart nervously across her surroundings and she never stops biting her lip.

The other two are a man with a smart long stare and a distinctively indistinct haircut, and an older woman in a burgundy suit, much of the skin on her face marred by burns. A long military coat hangs from her shoulders.

You realize that, with them outside, there’s only one heartbeat left inside the yacht.

The older woman says something in Russian, and the girl nods nervously – and you just know, somehow.

She knows someone’s in here.

How about we knock the boat over with eyebeams and cut through the bottom and collect our prize?

Try to keep invisible while moving and shooting. Really aim the first shot for maximum damage, then keep mobile. Look for cower before shooting, so you can stay hidden better.

With Geo it's honestly stronger than eyebeams. As a bonus, we determine a little about how tough they are without playing our whole hand.

>>38565468
That's fucking retarded. Drown yourself.

>>38565475
Because we haven't made a plan for that and yelling "Get the girl" takes away from the distraction.

>>38565468
Pretty sure our Punches From the Punch Dimension aren't that strong. We could however, just skip to the boat cutting.

>>38565475

>>38565511
Geo works on eyebeams as well.

>>38565499
They are likely mutants, with unknown power sets. We might get mind raped, disintegrated, or worse, if we touch them, or if they stare at us long enough.

>>38565499

Laura is a young one, how often do you think people get snkt for not even trying to kill her?

>>38565542

JJ actually is. We can turn a bus invisible, lift 3.5 tons & cut steel, have some of the best senses around, have Spider-man-ish agility, and we have Taskmastering. On top of everything else. Taskmaster alone is a threat in Marvel mostly because he knows his limits & when to cut and run.

We are faster than a normal human thanks to strength (in terms of sprinting, not super-speedster with the reactions to accompany that), but we do have high-superhuman agility.

You don’t think. Stopping to think keeps getting you shot, or stabbed, or worse.

Hell, once it got your eyes gouged out. Your eyes.

You raise the SMG, your eyes feeding you a list of probable outcomes for each half-inch of pressure, each slightly left or right, and you open fire.

The gun bucks against your grip, bright lashings of fire exploding from the tip. You kinda forgot how much of a kick these things could have, and your first few shots go awry, tearing through the top of the yacht, but you’re quick to steady your hands.

Two taps, and the man goes down, a bullet slicing through his knee. Amazingly, he seems mostly unphased, uttering little more than an infuriated grunt. You guess they make them to last in Russia. He draws a pistol from his jacket, eyes scrutinizing the building for the slightest sign of motion. You tap the trigger once more, and it flies from his grip, taking most of his trigger finger with it.

The older woman shouts something. Sounds like “Mischa!”

You turn the weapon on his companions, and –

“Izvinite!” Squeaks the girl, squeezing her eyes shut and swiping a skinny arm through the air.

Your danger sense explodes in the back of your brain, screaming for you to move.

Atleast she apologized before trying to kill us. I say we avoid trying to kill her in return.

Well geo vision, agility and strength are completely useless.

Can't aim with perfect hand to eye coordination
Can't hold gun still with 3 ton grip

Can apostrophe them, and get our points back?

>>38565945

Didn't Remy learn magic from a russian cherie?

How about she can fuck right off like the rest of these mafia kidnappers?

As to be expected. I'm not too fluent with Mystic Marvel, so anyone got a guess as to who this is? The only Russian one I can think of is Colossus' sister, who's name is not coming to me.

>>38565986
What?

>>38565990
Anon, hush, JJ hadn't fired a gun in forever, and with no familiarity, did this well.

>>38565986
Ha no, we just apologize back as we kill her

>>38565857
We should keep the smg and get a suppressor for it.

Anon, you can't expect JJ to be instantly perfect with a gun he's never used and never seen used. He needed a few shots to get used to it before he pulled off:
>You tap the trigger once more, and it flies from his grip, taking most of his trigger finger with it.

Hahahaha no. No fucking around with Russians on our arse. Especially not the fryface brand.

>>38565990
Dude, JJ needed to learn to handle the recoil of this specific gun. We're good now.

>>38565990
Well, he did shoot off a gun from another person's hand.
With an SMG.
From long range.

>>38565997
It isn't about being completely nonlethal, it's about minimizing the bodycount where possible

>>38566019
Yes, bet when your superpower is body control, aim, and strength, missing because you couldn't aim, control your body, and couldn't use arm strength to hold gun still is well...

It kinda breaks immersion.

>>38565986
Pretty sure she's apologizing to her boss for not reacting right away.

>>38566079
Yeah, but you don't pick the fucking Mage to be the one you keep alive, literally the dumbest thing you could ever do

>>38566060
I still wouldn't care if she was JJ's friend.

Chill, we minimize body count, we kill if needed. Maim/cripple works fine, and a foe who thinks you will let them live is likely to surrender, which makes life easier for us.

>>38566114
Trying to be nonlethal with a fucking SMG is arguably pretty retarded too

>>38566102
Anon, he had no idea how much strength he needed to use to kill the recoil, its why only his first shots were off

>>38566079
>where possible
Not when they're combatants with a fucking hostage. And leaving them alive endangers not just our own life, but Laura's and Alicia's.

She sounds fucking miserable. I say we would be doing her a favor.

Uh no, Russians kill people who let them live

>>38566135
Trying to be nonlethal with any gun is retarded.

>>38566102
>missing because you couldn't aim
He could aim, but he forgot to take the recoil inconsideration
>control your body
He did this by having a perfect grip and form.
> and couldn't use arm strength to hold gun still is well
It doesn't matter how strong you are, you are not going to be able to hold a gun in place if you don't brace against recoil.

>>38566102
Strength is one of those things that needs a moment to be set right. JJ could crumple that SMG in his bare hands, he's just not always at that amount of force though. It's like saying because he can chuck a full dumpster he can't shake someone's hand.

>>38566160
Only if they find us again, we are highly unlikely to ever run into these people again until someone fudges around with jack.

>>38566117
>foe who thinks you will let them live is likely to surrender
top lel, a foe who thinks you won't kill them will exploit that and kill you and you friends. Before or after a possible surrender.

>>38566114
>>38566140
I never advocated for not killing the three, I said where it applied. Learn to read.
Obviously I would prefer to keep us un-pasted, even if it means people must die.

You don’t know why (you never do when this shit happens), but you hurl yourself to one side.

There is an almighty, ear-splitting screech, and a roar not unlike the clapping of a vast audience. Every sheet of glass in the building explodes into a hundred-or-so glistening shards, cascading down through the air like a great torrent of scintillating, clear flame.

That includes the glasses in your coat pocket.

A sharp, searing pain lashes across your leg, blood pushing through your jeans. Luckily, your coat was trailing behind you as you moved, so there’s no glass working its way through your small intestines, but the tiny explosion has peppered your leg with a multitude of small cuts. None of it seems to have penetrated too deep, but it really, really hurts.

It hurts a lot more when, seemingly of their own accord, the tiny flecks of glass draw themselves out of your jeans, spiraling away through the air. You realize, with increasing horror, that none of the glass from above has actually hit the ground – it’s hovering several meters above the floor, orbiting the yacht in a slow, almost galactic spin.

The girl with the cuts scratches her arms, her eyes lit by a pale flame.

There is a collective screech as every shard of glass in the building turns in mid-air, angling its sharpest edge in your general direction.

Holy fucking shit.

GEOINTUITIVE VISION (Senses, Agility): JJ’s visual perception has become rigorously attuned to geometric patterns, trajectories, and pathways. He can intuitively know how best to aim an object so that it gets from point A to point B, predict the trajectories of moving forces in visual range, and know exactly the angle and velocity required to ‘bounce’ an object along a predetermined pathway.
