Log Title Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Rating: PG-13


NYC - East 42nd Street

Traveling from East to West in the center of Manhattan is 42nd street. The long street is home to Grand Central Station, United Nations, Bryant Park, New York Public Library and Times Square. This street has many stores and restaurants tailored to the more upscale and tourists of the city. There are also many theatres along this street for Broadway Musicals and motion pictures.


Tonight Robyn has a dinner date with his parents so it's about five pm in the afternoon and he's just taken the train into New York City. After exiting Grand Central Station he looks both ways down the street since it's just easier to walk to the train he needs to take to Brooklyn. Adjusting his back pack on his shoulders he's dressed in his usual all black. Before Robyn starts walking, but he can't help but stop to look at what a near by street merchant is selling, looking through the various drawings.

Jared has no real reason to be out tonight, except to just be out. In the middle of the buisiest city in the world, the city that never sleeps, he is trying to do something new wiht his powers. Specifically, he is trying to get the hang of just feeling one person's life energies while crowded by a large number on all sides. At the moment he is failing, but at least has not given himself a headache yet. Of course the main reason for that might be the chocolate covered croisent he has in his left hand, and the cup of hot chocolate in his right.

With a big soft pretzel in one hand and a root beer in the other, Eddie's humming a happy little tune as he stands with Jared. "Any luck?" he asks his brother, just out helpong him tonight.

Gabriel himself was coming back from a day at the office, though this time he has forgone the car for a nice walk out in the…New York air. One thing that is standing out about him is that his wings are out, and in true form, he doesn't care what people think. The avian looks across the corner and eyes a food car that piques his fancy. He approaches and asks for a hotdog. Yes, he could be at an expensive restaurant in the city, but he's buying a dirty water hotdog.

There are times when Skyler likes to sneak out after class and go to Times Square to catch a play or musical on Broadway, and today is such a day. He's leafing through a small flip notepad and is wondering to himself which one he should go see today, not noticing that his identical twin, Eddie, is just on the other side of the street.

He's been trying to get out in REAL public. At school, it's easier to block out the minds. After all, he's helping some of them learn to shield their thoughts. But here, in New York, it's not so easy for Addison. Dressed in a black shirt with silver-stitched wings on the back… one of the ones that Owen helped him pick out, Addison is just walking along, fingers occasionally rubbing his temple. He's learning the city as he goes. After all, he can always get home if he needs to.

Pushing past people and running down the street is a young girl dressed in a white dress with a red cloak with the hood pulled up. She keeps glancing over her shoulder as she's being chase. She pushes past Gabriel at the food vendor, then shoves Robyn aside before runing between Eddie and Jared and on towards Addison, grabing onto him and hiding behind him. "Help me?" She pleds softly

Robyn is startled to say the least when he's shoved asided by the young girl. "What the…" He mutters to himself trailing off, choosing not to cuss at her like some other New Yorkers are doing. He spots Eddie and Jared, two of his classmates and gives them a confused look as he starts to walk over there.

Jared sighs and shakes his head. "Nope, nothing…well more like everything. Not like I expected this to be easy though right? Although, even if I can't stop the whole healing thing this will make things a whole lot easier the next time someone gtes kidnapped if I can focus in on just them." Of course as he is talking to Eddie something odd and familer tingles his senses. "Ok, either you have traveld from the future to do some shopping, are part of an invasion by an alternate universe…or I jsut found Skyler." Jared grins as he uses the croissent to point across the road at the teen duplicate of Eddie not noticing Robyn yet.

Dressed in jeans, a Fantastic Four logo shirt, and his Captain America jacket, Eddie nods slowly and takes a bite of his pretzel. He blinks when Jared mentions the oddness and looks around. Spotting his double, Eddie smiles. "Just Skyler. Still copying me from our training with Dr. Drake the other day," he explains. He's missed Robyn as well but notices the girl running. He peers after her curiously, jumping slightly when Addison is recognized. "Huh…"

Gabriel had just recieved his hotdog when the little girl ran past him. He doesn't get angry, only making a small grunt when she pushes past him. "She's in a hurry." He says, before his consience gets to him and he tries to follow the red hooded girl.

Gabriel had just recieved his hotdog when the little girl ran past him. He doesn't get angry, only making a small grunt when she pushes past him. "She's in a hurry." He says, before his consience gets to him and he tries to follow the red hooded girl.

Being grabbed onto is enough to throw Addison off and lower his shields. He winces in pain as all these people's thoughts come flooding in. "Help wha? Who are you?" He asks, turning to look at the girl. He feels a few familiar thoughts around him and reaches out, mentally, to brush against them. Both for their support and for his own. "What's going on?" He asks her, scratching his head.

"From him!" The little girl answers and Addison would sense that there is something artifical about her mind just as Jared would feel something not quite right about her life signature. There's a few screams from people and even two bodys go flying into the street as something is coming down the sidewalk after her.

Looking to Gabriel as he over heard him say something, Robyn just shakes his head. "No, I don't think she in a hurry…or if she is, it's a hurry to get away." He says nervously looking around. "Oh Shit!" He yells seeing someone get tossed into the street by…something.

Robin, like everyone else, has just coincidentally decided to come to this area today. She hasn't really noticed anyone yet, and seems to be kind of spaced out as she walks. Both she and Blank, her blue spectral puppet of about the same size and build as her, carry small bags, indicating that they were out shopping. She wears a pink sweater and a nice, clean pair of blue jeans. She notes to Blank, "/This/ time, we're getting home with these-" And then there is the tossing. She bites her bottom lip and notes disappointedly, "…or not."

Jared takes a moment to make sure he does not have any crumbs on his grey hooded jacket before waiting till Skyler is looking in thier general direction and waving to get his attention. "Ok, so then no worries about massive doomsday events or comic identity confusion beyond the norm." At the instant that he says that of course people start flying through the air. Jared's response pretty much is the same as Robyn's as he throws his hot chocolate and snack in a near by trash can and turns to face what ever it is that is apparnetly chasing the girl. "Eddie, tell me there is someone big and powerful near by you can copy cause what ever that is thats coming I am probably gonna need help."

Skyler looks up from his notepad, finally coming to a conclusion as to what it is that he wants to see. When hearing a familiar voice, he looks over at the street, and breaks out in a grin when he sees Jared and Eddie. …. and a strange little girl. Hunh. Waving at them to catch their attention he yells across the street, "HEY GUYS!!!!" And then there is the screaming. And the flying bodies. With a curse, he pockets his notebook, and begins the very dangerous prospect of jaywalking across the busy street to get to the other side to help fend off whatever it is that is terrorizing the civillians.

Eddie is mostly just confused, curious, and concerned in terms of thoughts right now. When people start getting thrown, Eddie frowns. Almost immediately, a list of supervillains with enhanced strength enough to throw people starts scrolling through his head. "Umm…just Addison and," he looks around, frowning at the lack of heroes. "Mr. Dumont," he says once spotting the man. "Could press the panic button too."

Gabriel was close to getting to the girl when the bodies go flying into the air. Almost immediately Gabriel takes off his suit jacket and exposes his vest, filled with throwing knives. "Great." He admits, the one time he did not have his sword on him is when he needs it the most. "Hopefully it won't like knives in it."

First response when bodies go flying is that Addison, too, goes flying. A fiery aura surrounds his body as he rises, doing his best to support the girl. While he heard the stories in his youth, some things are forgotten when your life becomes a warzone. "Who is he, what does he want, and how do we get rid of him?" He asks, simply as he reaches out to the others that he knows are here. Eddie, Skyler, and Jared. The others… he hasn't noticed. ~~Whatever it is, it's after this girl.~~

The knives hit What's knocking people into the street finally comes into view, a bipedal Wolf dressed in a pink nightgown with matching night cap. "Where are ya red!" He growls as he runs forward, stopping to sniff the air. "Why are you running from Grandma?" He asks the little girl in the red cloak who responds with quite the theatrical scream as Addison takes her oup into the air.

Robyn looks up as Addison flys up into the air. "Addison!" He yells as he trie to find somewhere safe to go, but in a street of panic, it's hard. At the moment, Robyn just stays pressed against the wall looking between the wolf with fear and Addison in the air.

Jared starts a little when he hears Addison in his mind and nods as he says that what ever it is is after the girl. Of course as the big bad wolf appears he does his best not to laugh. Despite the crowd he extends his power to sense life to see if the people it has already sent flying are injured enough to need his help right away while he puts himself in front of the wolf. "Why Grandma, what a hairy back you have. Have you ever thought of trying a little electrolasis?"

"Bizarre," says Robin, taken aback at the presence of the big bad wolf, but this is said while she takes all of the bags out of Blank's hands and assumes her puppeteering position: body rigid and hands up in the air, fingers twitching slightly. The puppet comes under Robin's control and dashes towards the wolf to try and investigate. While Blank's sprinting speed is not beyond human physical limits, it gets close.

Eddie just stares a moment, thoughts summed up as a simple '…'. When he snaps back into the present, Eddie jumps as Jared rushes off towards the wolf. <Umm. Maybe someone should get the girl away from here while the others delay the wolf then, sir?> he 'thinks' to Addison as he applies a boost to Jared's powers.

Skyler doesn't slow down after dodging a car or two here and there to bullrush the Big Bad Wolf. At this point in his life, he just doesn't question these kinds of things. With his shoulder down, he tries to spear the anthropomorphic wolf right in the gut, hoping to knock the wind out of it. <Great,> he thinks a little too loudly. <All we need is a woodsman to come and save us.>

Gabriel is left out of the telepathic loop, but he is not less for it. Gabriel nods as he sees Addison take the girl up with him in the air. Good choice. And then the kid makes a move for the wolf. With no clear target available to him, Gabriel takes to the skies with a woosh of air from his wings. He takes three knives in his hand while he's up there and waits for a good moment when Skyler is out of the way to throw them at the wolve's feet.

"You're safe here. I won't let him get to you." Addison says simply. ~~She's fine up here. He'd have to have a hell of a lot of power to get to her while I'm holding her.~~ He sends to Eddie as he looks around. He adds the Rob*n's into the group, since he knows them as well. ~~Her mind is strange. It's like she's not quite there. I can't explain.~~ Unfortunately, he's never met Gabriel…

Seeing a few people start to come after him the Big Bad Wolf lets out a growl, while still in his Granny attire. "Give me Red!" He says barreling forward taking a swipe at anyone he can, and since Jared, Blank and Skyler are rushing forward, he has his choice of targets to rush into in which Jared is lucky target number one to get a big claw paw swiping at him.

Robyn blinks as he's suddenly included in the mind link. ~~It's like Little Red Riding Hood come to life or something…I'm gonna try to posses the wolf~~ He thinks to anyone in the mental link as Robyn stars and concentrates, his eyes starting to glow purple.

Blank finishes her dash by punching at the Big Bad Wolf, but doesn't make any other attempts at hitting him after Robyn announces his intentions. Like her speed, Blank's strength is considerable for a human, but does not quite cross the threshold into the superhuman. <Oh, weird>, thinks Robin, <at least I can talk this way>. The mute Blank is not big on communication, after all.

Jared is, after notcing Skyler and Blaqnk comming, playing target. Instead of dancing just out of reach of the wolf he gets caught, claws swiping acrost his chest cutting through his jacket, his grey shirt, and his skin underneith. Blood seeps into his clothes, but stops fairly quickly as his boosted healing powers stop the bleeding. "That was my favorite jacket. You better be glad my Dads give me an insane allowence." Jared keeps his arms moving, along with his mouth, to try and keep the beast occupied till the others can hit him. (Re for Robyn)

Eddie frowns as he watches this all, hanging back for now and helping people get away from the area as orderly as possible. ~~Skyler, try mimicking Addison. Might help ya out,~~ he calls over the link, mimicking Jared now as well as boosting him. ~~Could she be like…an android or alien? Alternate universe visitor?~~

Gabe finds a moment when he can throw his projectiles at the wolf. The avian goes in for a better view, but still in the air. Nothing much else he can do at the moment, other than throw more knives.

Skyler finds out the hard way that tackling the Big Bad Wolf is much like tackling a lamp post. He bounces off the thing and his breath is knocked out of him but he quickly regains his composure. Deciding to fight fire with fire, he reaches out to grab a furry arm and triggers the copying process.

~~I'm going to get her up north. Give her some space. Those that can, help those that can't to get away from it. Those with enough power can try to stop it. I just know that he wants her, so I'm preventing him from getting her.~~ Addison states clearly as he looks around. Sure that those here can handle it, he flies north, leaving a flaming trail, along with a quick shout to the wolf. "Sorry. She's coming safely with me."

Sometimes back talking the Bad Guy isn't a great idea as in this case where it just makes the wolf more mad and he jumps on top of Jared and just starts trying to rake and bite Jared but only gets two good swipes in before a few daggers are sunk into his side with a howl. Though the Howl is cut short and Robyn's mind is able to slip into the Wolfs. The copying does work for Skyler but it's an odd feeling for him, like no DNA he's ever copied before.

Once Robyn is inside the Big Bad Wolfs mind he finds something strange about it, it's not like any mind he's been in and he's having trouble holding on. "It's me in here! Try to take him down or something while he can't fight!" Yells Robyn from the wolfs mouth. Over on the side of the street his body is slumped unconcious. Though he doesn't know how long he can stay n there.

Sometimes back talking the Bad Guy isn't a great idea as in this case where it just makes the wolf more mad. Even though Blank is a bit of an annoyance with that punch, it's the mouth that bothers him and he jumps on top of Jared and just starts trying to rake and bite Jared but only gets two good swipes in before a few daggers are sunk into his side with a howl. Though the Howl is cut short and Robyn's mind is able to slip into the Wolfs. The copying does work for Skyler but it's an odd feeling for him, like no DNA he's ever copied before.

Though he doesn't know how long he can stay n there. <re do>

Eddie moves over to the slumped Robyn, reaching down to pick him up and move him somewhere he won't get accidentally trampled or crushed. "Of course it's only after I stop carrying pepper bombs around that something they'd be really useful against shows up," he murmurs as he does. "BRO!" he squeaks when Jared gets tackled, making sure that boost in maintained on Jared's healing powers. The booster is not sure what he can do here, continuing to move Robyn's body out of the way.

Jared watches as the Bigt Bad wolf suddenly stops, and Skyler copies it. "I am ok bro, just a flesh wound!" Jared extends his senses again to find the injured anywhere near by. To Skyler and Robyn, "You guys think you can keep a hold a him? If so Eddie and I will keep people clear and help the wounded." By now the front of Jared's clothes are red with blud, but where the claws cut his skin is already nothing but a faint white scar that will be gone soon.

Blank seems unsure what to do after Robyn possesses the Big Bad Wolf, since she isn't particularly familiar with his powers. After he speaks, though, she decides that it might be appropriate to keep on hitting. Which is exactly what she does, unless prompted to stop it: she delivers hard punches at the wolf, trying to help harm it while it is occupied.

Gabriel takes the moments of incapacitation in the wolf to throw more knives as fast and always as accurate as he can throw. He's much more focused on the wolf than the injured right now.

Skyler's reaction to the strange genetics he's just copied is to make a sour face and stick out his tongue with a, "Bleah." He doesn't have a lot of time, however, and quickly pounces on the wolf using all his strength to hold it down. "Eddie!" He shouts, "Boost me and I should be able to hold it down!"

There are a few injured that Jared can find and easily attend too, there are several people with claw related injuries. Robyn, in the wolfs head, yells out "Blanks not doing mu…owww!" He calls out in pain as the knives sink into the wolf and Robyn feels the pain of it. The pain forces Robyn out of the Wolfs mind and back into his own body, right as Skyler pounces on top of the wolf to hold him down. Right now the Big Bad Wolf is a bit dazed form the Posseson and Skyler has he edge for a few seconds. "Eddie?.." He mutters looking up. "I might have one more idea if I get close."

Jared just hopes people don't get a good look at his face while he is working on making sure the people with claw related injuries don't have to worry about Rabies or anything. "Don't worry, we got the Mother Goose reject under control." Jared tells people as he gets them out of the way, and heals those he can as much as possible.

Eddie offers a quick smile to Robyn, helping an injured person with one arm while holding Robyn up with the other. With the person free of the grating their foor got stuck in, Eddie nods to Robyn. "Gonna try to drain him?" he asks. Skyler's call gets a blink before Eddie nods. A boost is applied to double Skyler's abilities, Eddie maintaining the mimicking and boosting of jared at the same time.

At being told that she is not doing much, Blank just vanishes, returning back to Robin's side. Robin breaks out of her trance and runs to approach the other people fighting the wolf. "What can I do to help?" she asks, since she really doesn't know how to make herself useful at this time. Monsters are still a bit out of her league.

Skyler makes most of the opportunity when the Wolf is stunned to try to get a better hold of it. When the surge of power comes from Eddie, he grins a feral grin at the beast and bears down with all his strength and weight to keep it from getting up or attacking anybody else. "I think I got it, guys!"

Gabriel halts the thrpwing knives, allowing for the mimicker to do his stuff on the Big Bad. Though he's gonna be ready for another strike should he need to.

The wolf struggles against Skyler but after the boost, it's just too much and Skyler has the edge. Also all those daggers in the wolf doesn't help either. "I'll eat you all, just like I ate her grandmother, swallowed the old woman hole!" He says snapping at Skyler with his maw.

"Robin!" The other Robyn calls out to her, "See if you find something around here to tie up the wolf or something!" He offers so she can help. He looks up at Eddie and nods. "That's what I'm gonna try to do Edde." Robyn says before he runs over to Skyler and the BBW, reaching out a hand to try to drain some of it's mental energy.

Jared hears the call for something to tie up the beast and pulls off his hooded jacket. "Here, take this, won't be much but its not like it is worth wearing now." Jared tosses the jacket in the direction of the Big Bad wolf.

"Right. Keep careful, Robyn," Eddie cautions. He continues moving to help injured away but also keeps an eye out for any rope or wires they can use. "Don't forget to tie his muzzle shut," he adds to the others.

Robin nods at Robyn and runs off in search of anything that might be able to bind the beast, Blank trailing close behind her. While she is not normally a fan of stealing, she figures anyone who has already fled this scene will not miss any rope or chain or whatever else she might be able to find.

Skyler growls at the Big Bad Wolf right back and counters with a very original, "Not if I eat you first!"

With Jared and Robin being able to find things to bind the Big Bad Wolf, and Skyler obviously the stronger one, then Robyn starts to drain some of his mental energy one he can get close enough to touch the Wolf it looks like they're the winners of the battle. And that's exactly what someone confirms. Out of nowhere there seems to be a lumberjack. "I've been chasng this wolf all day, thanks guys for taking it down. Is Little Red Riding Hood okay?" He asks as he brings his axe down on the Wolfs head, killing him but avoiding Skyler. That's not really any blood though.

Robyn just lies thereafter the mental draining but at the same time feeling mentally refreshed. "WEird…this is really weird…" He comments to anyone i the area and then when the Lumberjack steps out, he just stares at his actions without being able to say anything.

Jared is about to say something to stop the woodsman but chooses not to at the last moment as the axe comes down to kill the wolf. "Yes, your little red was taken off my our big Red someplace safe. Um…odd question, but…where do you coem from?"

Skyler takes a step back, panting from the effort of keeping the wolf down. He blinks at the appearance of the Woodsman, and then shakes his head. "Why am I not surprised," he mutters, voice deep and gravelly. "Dear God, this is nasty. I need to change into something…. real." He looks up at his fellow students. "Any volunteers?"

Eddie's jaw drops when the wolf gets killed. That's like a big 'NO!' in Eddie's book. He moves quickly to check on his friend, watching this lumberjack warily. "Go ahead and change back into me if you want, Sky."

Robin stops in her run as the wolf is beheaded. "Ah, ah," she says, deciding that binding the wolf is no longer a very useful endeavor to pursue. "Er. Huh… I guess… I'm not really too surprised… that the wolf is dead." Blank, however, is really quite surprised by it. Her hands are up on her cheeks and she seems kind of horrified. She looks at Skyler and blinks a few times, noting, "Ahhh, yeah… that's just weird."

Well, the addition of the woodsman dispatching the wolf gives Gabriel leave to exit. He just takes back off towards Freedom Force Headquarters. Gotta inform the others about this weird encounter.

Skyler nods at Eddie, and touches him, turning back into Eddie's clone. "Ah," He says, "That's so much better. It was like wearing a suit of that pink insulation stuff." If Skyler doesn't seem all that concerned about the sudden beheading of the wolf it's probably because of all the blood that just isn't there. "Except now I'm cold…" And upon further reflection and looking down, this is because the transformation into the much larger wolf had all but completely destroyed his clothes. "Oh, crap. I'm naked again."

Jared offers a hand to Skyler, "Here, copy me for a bit, live the healer's life." Jared shudders a little at the dead wolf man but, well its part of the sroty and he is not going to risk messing things up by stopping a story that is strong enough to show up in reality, he has a book that shows how dangerous that could be. "If an old woman crawls outa that wolf then I am just gonna give up on sanity though. Aliens, alternate realitys, time travel, those at least make sense….kind of." As Skyler ends up with not much on Jared pulls off his bloody shirt and offers it. "Put it on backwards, at least as Eddie it will be big enough on you to keep you from being arrested imediatly."

"Draining his mental energy felt weird too." Robyn says as he take off his hoodie and hands it to Skyler. All the while the Woodman chops up the Wolf and helps Grandma out of the wolf in one piece and the two wander off to find Red. "Thanks again." They says. In some areas there are some faint flashes of light that seem like it could be just the imagination. Robyn looks up and nods. "I guess I'm gonna be late to see my Mom and Dad?"

Eddie blushes and looks away from Skyler, moving to block him from view until he can get the clothes on. "This was just weird…" he trails off. "I wonder what caused it. Maybe some kind of powerful magic or reality alteration…"

Robin kneels next to Skyler, as she looks through her little bags of just recently purchased clothes. Her clothes may probably not the best option in the world, but likely one of the best available. She pulls out a pair of sweatpants, which she offers up to Skyler. They might be a big snug, though. "I have no idea," says Robin to Eddie. She has less experience with this sort of thing than anyone here. "I hope it's nothing too bad, whatever this is…"

Skyler shivers as the cold starts to get to him and he accepts all the offered clothes gratefully. He puts on the sweatpants, and thanks to Eddie's diminutive size, they're not as tight as they could be, but they certainly don't leave much to the imagination, either. The bloody shirt he pulls on, and then the hoodie he pulls on over it. "I've got a bad feeling about this," He says. "The wolf… it wasn't real. It's DNA was… I don't know. Plastic." He scowls at the scene before him and at the place where the Woodsman and Red Riding Hood disappeared. He kneels down to where the remaining bits of the wolf is, hefting up a chunk. "Hunh. This is a younger version of the story. In the older versions, Red Riding Hood saves herself and slices open the belly of the wolf, freeing her grandmother. Then she pours hot coals into the belly of the wolf and they all sit around and laugh in glee as the wolf runs around and dies a horrible death." He stands up and pockets the strange chunk of flesh, "And then she skins the wolf,

Jared sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. At least with his powers he does not have to worry about catchign a cold. "Oh no, this is just the start of it. I just know it is. Next thing someone will be climbing Trump Tower by a braid of hair, and some blond girl will be terrorizing bears in the Village, and who knows what else. I swear, if Eddie ends up as Cinderella I will end up hitting who ever is behind this….a lot." Of course that could be because Jared does not want to be an Ugly step sister.
