Assault on the Rock : Rescue Team

[clear-thinker.livejournal.com]

As the Legion Satellite materializes in the strange yellow-orange space around the Rock of Eternity, Lyle moves for one of the airlocks, taking with him the team assembled for the rescue of Dreamer, Saturn Girl, and Teth-Adam.

The shadow demons are already swarming to the attack on the satellite, Mordru appearing somewhat prepared for the assault.

"Allright, ladies and gentlemen, we're headed for the cave down there in the rock. Omen, if you can cloak our minds, I will handle making us all invisible if everyone will stay close. Triad and I will use Plastic Man as a platform to get everyone down there. I can't project the invisibility beyond myself for long, so let's move quickly."

The Black Canary moves forward, charging silently at the first shadow demon she sees.

Wildcat charges in, silent and swift, thinking to himself "And they said I couldn't do quiet..." He clears one of the first shadow demons with a jump. Better to surprise these things by attacking from within. As his feet gently land, he pads across the ground and grabs the nearest demon around the neck in a wrestling-lock.

For her part, Triad seems to be an adept physical combatant - then again, she learned from the best. A series of powerful kicks put down one of the shadow demons as the group advances into the cave.

Lyle seems pleased, but focused - definitely happy with the group that has been assembled, here. The invisibility field is gone - the cave itself shielding them from Mordru's sight, now.

The long stretch of hallway with the statues has come into view, and up ahead, the prisoners, and the throne of the wizard Shazam, sitting empty.

This isn't easy but then again, she wouldn't want it to be. Flamebird throws a charged bolo at one of them and follows it up with a series of machine gun kicks.

Big lobster claws shoot up to grab demon heads and smash them together, enough to get a better look at this joint.

Literally buttoning his lip to keep words from spilling out.

This is annoying!

As they near the prisoners, the shackled form of Dreamer looks up, grinning as she sees her would-be rescuers.

"Well, aren't you a rag-tag bunch?"

She nods to Nightwing.

"Nice to see you again, short-pants. Been a while. Can I get some help? Or should I say, 'Hey, rube'?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_black_canary_/]

"'Hey, rube?'" The Canary absentmindedly fends off an elbow smash.

"Circus talk, sweetie. Something me an' Batboy understand."

She gives an oddly flirtacious wink to Black Canary.

Nightwing's surprise is tangible, as evidenced by his backflip that almost ends with him landing awkwardly.

"What the-- " He turns abruptly, straightening enough to see the captive, before loosing another taser 'rang at a wouldbe opportunist. Then it hits him. "Boston Brand?"

A ghostly form - visible, here on the Rock of Eternity - exits the buxom blonde's form, allowing her to slump into unconsciousness.

"In the strictly proverbial flesh. The Stranger asked me to hang around here and feed tall, dark and crazy bad information. Pretty easy gig."

He launches from the ground, using the body of a downed demon as a springboard to approach the now-unconscious captive. When he comes back down onto his feet, he's grinning. "What'd you tell him?"

[deadmanbrand.livejournal.com]

"Well, for starters, he thinks he's gonna win. Let's disabuse him of that notion - you bring the psychic mojo?"

[-nightwing-.livejournal.com]

He gestures briefly back down the hallway, before setting about picking the shackles. "Omen's here with us, keeping our infiltration quiet."

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

Wildcat overhears Nightwing and Deadman's chat, and his lip curls up in an appreciative snarl. These kids certainly plan well. Not that he minded just being the hired help for once. He snaps the neck of his shadow demon, and goes for a running tackle on another one.

"Omen, if you could start working on Imra, that would be good. I don't want her coming out of this trance she's in and zapping us all for Mordru."

He moves to Teth-Adam, working on the man's shackles while Nightwing frees Dreamer.

Let them do what they're good at doing.

Hawkgirl will do what she's good at.

And that, which is completely evident by the way she smashes through the shadow demons with her Nth metal mace - is being the muscle.
