In San Francisco, things are torrential

Jesse Quick has sent out the APB.

But right now, Titans Tower is on fire in half a dozen places, and the torrential storm overhead isn't stopping the fires nearly enough. Lightning sizzles through the sky, and well over a dozen flying figures soar around the Tower, surveilling it and occasionally blasting it with something. Many more are on the ground and in the Tower itself - parts of the Tower explode periodically as the violence escalates.

The Tower is under siege, and the Titans are fighting a losing battle.

But things change, and Weather Wizard turns his head and sees:


Incoming!

Took a while to find what's important, as he's not a Tower frequenter. But eventually... looks like he found something.

Instantly, he fires a blast to try and wrap this guy up in bindings.

"... the hell do you think you're doing?"

Okay. That was not expected.

Still, that ever-present green glow around him does act as a shield most of the time, and it snaps out into a bubble to keep the... pants at bay before they get too close to his inseam for comfort.

An emerald hand appears to backhand the Trickster. "Out of your depth, son."

The bubble was up, thankfully, which is the reason he's alive.

The onslaught of metal shards smashes him into the wall - and it might just whip IQ around before his concentration is shattered enough for the bonds to disappear.

John picks himself up, spinning to face Shrapnel as the egghead suddenly vanishes. No telling if he got what he was after.

He can only spare a glance to the computer he was hovering over before a full focus on this hunk of scrap.

This time he's ready, shaking off the pain. Full power to his shield, then gritting his teeth to try and CATCH these metal shards before they can reform. Keep him from rinsing and repeating.

Getting the sense that trying to get information out of this guy is gonna be a wasted effort.

Over the coms, he barks an intel report.

"IQ was up here hacking the Tower's top floor computer. Anything he might find on this thing?"

*No idea. I figured it might be something like that... sorry for being so abrupt earlier, just kin... fuck, Abra's back up. Will get back to you. Good luck in there.*
