In San Francisco, things are torrential

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

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!

What the -

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

Nothing personal, Croc.

Croc's frozen like a popsicle before he gets within ten feet of Icicle.

Taz grunts, not moving out from behind the frozen Croc just yet. He picks him up off the ground a little, and with a snarl, continues to charge towards the Icicle, using Croc as his own personal shield.

Fuck!

He ices over the ground. No traction buys him some time, but he's backing up quickly.

The ice does slip Hugh up. Too much weight to keep his balance. So before he completely trips over on himself, he rears back as much as he can manage and, basically, shot-puts Croc towards Icicle, the momentum forcing Hugh to flip over himself.

He barely ducks six hundred pounds of frozen Croc, then scrambles to put distance between himself and the furball.

Taz snorts as he picks himself up. He can't get up close, because Icicle would have the advantage mid-way and just freeze him.

So, allowing him some time to flee, Taz slams a fist into the ground, breaking up the frozen concrete...

Which gives him ammo.

Taz picks up two hefty chunks of the iced ground, hucking them as fast as he can manage at the Icicle.

The rocks suddenly freeze in mid-air.

BAD doggie!

"Not a dog, idiot..."

Taz doesn't go for any formalities with this one, just looking to hammerfist the guy in the face.

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

And as he swings, suddenly Chronos isn't there any more.

[justtaz.livejournal.com]

"Ah, shit..."

Taz knows Icicle has to be out of range by now, so he sticks with who he has. He tries to sniff him out instead of just looking for him.

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

The scent is on his left -

- then behind him -

- then on his right -

"Fuck it!"

Taz goes for the easy way out, swinging in a full 360 direction, hoping to get lucky and chip him long enough to get him to stay still for a moment.

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

Three sixty spinning dolly shot! ARTISTIC!

Chronos has already beaten a retreat between seconds, leaving a nice open arc for atomic fire to snap around the Devil.

[justtaz.livejournal.com]

"Christ! How many do they HAVE?!"

Taz leaps up and over, a few furs getting singed along the way, but going flat out towards his next target.

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

Extras line up, we're going for the money on this one!

Additional fire rings his fists as he prepares for the charge.

[justtaz.livejournal.com]

Taz does a tiny hop at the last moment, and instead of going fist to fist, he launches outwards with a doublekick aimed squarely at his opponent's chest.

[jla-villains.livejournal.com]

He goes down hard but manages to grab one of the feet as he does.

Unneccessary roughness on set! You're fired!
