Blue and Gold - Into Action!
Riley checked his watch. This was the rooftop Dinah had asked him to meet her on, but she hadn't said why. In fact, she'd refused to say why. He scratched the back of his head in confusion. He'd wait for a while longer yet, but he just wish he knew a bit more why there was such a hold up.

	There was a man. Possibly a man. Made of bees. In a purple cloak and gloves. Numerous Central Park patrons had been restrained by bonds made out of bees. If he noticed Riley, he did not show it.

	"...a Nazi. My god. A Nazi made of bees. A deadly bee Nazi." Well that was different. "You there! I believe you'll find that while New York is the melting pot, Nazi bees are just going to wind up melted!" He fires lasers at the thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stinging Legion simply moved his bees out of the way of the laser beams, creating holes in his body that they passed through. "Foolish hero! You cannot defeat me! Mine is the supreme perfection of the bees!" He raised his hand and fired a stream of bees at Riley. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Setting the Bug to hover, Dinah grabbed the zipline and swooshed down the Park below. "Eat Beetle-Power!" she shouted, as she fired a stun-bolt from her Beetle-Gun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	These attacks too, passed through holes in his body. "More heroes to slay? This is too easy!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Something to understand, having a force-field that keeps you safe from them, does not mentally proof someone against the sheer invertebrate-fueled horror that is having it appear as if you've got bees crawling all over your face and body.

"OH MY GOD I'M COVERED IN BEES! AAAAAHHH!!!"

Riley dives through a bunch of trees, trying to brush off most of the bees before he focuses on backing up Dinah.

	"RI---GOLDSTAR!" Dinah cried out. She let go of the zipline, executing a near-perfect landing. She fired her Beetle-Gun again, rolling to avoid any bee-blasts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A blast struck the Stinging Legion, briefly knocking him back. "You... stupid Americaner Svine! You shall pay for daring to assault mine presence!" He directed a mini-swarm of bees at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-10 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	"BEETLE!" A blue-gold blur comes flying into the path of the smaller swarm. It's like a cannon-ball being thrown into a pool of water, as the bees splash off of Goldstar's force field. HE'S STILL COVERED IN BEES. >_ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah's eyes bulged behind her goggles as she was certain she was about to be stung. A lot. And then Riley rescued her! Dang it, this was not going nearly as well as it should be. "Goldstar!" she shouted. "Plan B!" It was something they'd worked out when they were kids, playing at being heroes. It meant 'distract the bad guy while I free the hostages!'

	Stinging Legion let out a cry of buzzing frustration as his bees splashed off Goldstar's force-field. "I vould haff challenged the links of Superman! Instead, I am beink forced to content viff the likes of you! The indignity!" They might not be able to pierce his force field, but more and more are now buzzing around him, trying to block his sight.

	boosted_gold 2010-04-10 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	"You? Take on Superman? You've GOT to be kidding!" Goldstar hopes he sounds as confident as he wants to. He nods to Beetle and dives straight into the bee-Nazi, trying to keep it scattered. How exactly do you fight a Nazi made of bees anyway? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-10 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	Dinah moved quickly to the hostages, using the flare setting from her Beetle-Gun to disorient the bees bonding them. Bees, bees.... that worked on a small scale, but how the heck did you deal with bees? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_baddie 2010-04-10 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Riley would find himself going straight through the bee-Nazi, as the bees gave way. He was suddenly racing him without turning, the bees simply reorienting so he was facing the other way. "Fool! I am der Stingink Legion! Mine is the power of pure, Aryan bees!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-11 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	"...THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE! How are bees supposed to be Aryan? If they're not domestic, the most they could be are Africanized!" Riley shouts as he keeps trying to shake his forcefield clean, splashing into the Legion repeatedly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_baddie 2010-04-11 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Riley could keep the Bee-Nazi scattered, and he recalled all his bees from the super-suited hero back into his body. "Perhaps you are not beink such a schmarty-pants vhen I haff your little girlfriend, ja?" He gestured and a ribbon of bees, carrying a now-entrapped Dinah, floated into view. She'd gotten the hostages free... but gotten caught herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-11 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	Still, some things had to be protested, no matter the situation. "I'm not his girlfriend!" Wait. There was a fire hydrant behind the bee-man. Maaaybe... "Goldstar!" she called out, trying very hard not to panic. "Oot-shay the ire-fay ydrant-hey!" Wait. Did Riley know pig-latin? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-11 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Riley couldn't even hear her that well over the din of the bees. "No time for that now, Beetle! I've got a PLAN!" He aims his laser at the hydrant, cracking it open like a walnut. He then throws himself in at the appropriate angle to deflect the water right at the Legion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Vhat? Vhat are you doink?!" The Stinging Legion roared, the water slammed into him, soaking his bees. "Mine bees! Mine beautiful, perfect bees!" he howled. In less than a minute, under the high pressure spray, all that was left was a pile of soaked bees and the cape and hood. What bees were not joined to his body scattered like the animals they were.

	Dang it, Riley! That was supposed to have been her brilliant plan! Bees flying off, she dropped to the ground, landing in a crouch. "That was my plan, you... you... plan stealer you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-11 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Riley started scooping up the bees as much as he could, tying off the end of the cloak to contain them. "Once again, the day is saved... by Goldstar and Blue Beetle! Defenders of Justice!" He poses triumphantly, grinning at the civilians. Then he blinks at his partner. "Wait... what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Face, meet palm. "Number one, it's 'Scarab.' Not Blue Beetle. He's in El Paso, remember?" Yes, her Dad and Dr. Reyes had both briefly been the Blue Beetle at the same time, but Dad had retired not long after. "Number two, I was shouting at you in pig-latin to do what you just did. My plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-11 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"I still don't understand that. You don't actually have the scarab. Hence, you should be Blue Beetle, and he should be Scarab, or just 'Escarabajo' like they say it around there." Riley points out. He looks at her. "Nuh-uh! That was totally my plan too!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2010-04-11 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugged. "He had the name first. Besides, I don't wear that much blue." Dinah made a face. "Uh-huh, right. You came up with a plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-04-11 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	"I did TOO come up with a plan! I'm a CRIMEFIGHTER. I used my SMARTS." He huffs, retorting. He looks around, waving to the crowds, when something occurs to him. He points upwards. "Where's the Bug?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
