Looking For Luck I Can't Even Buy
It was a perfect fall afternoon. The thermometer was in the low 60s, the sky was a bright blue and the sun was bright. The trees were vibrant oranges, yellows and reds as they showed off their colors of the season. It was also the time of the year for Dad's birthday and Anya was at a loss of what to get him this year.

It was a great excuse to shop.

Classes finished up early on Fridays and Anya was back in New York by two. Plenty of time to shop, grab dinner and then find something to do for the evening. The first thing she did was grab Toni to drag her along. Anya's free time had been in short supply lately as she got caught up with school and it had been awhile since she had some time with her bestest friend.

The streets and sidewalks were crowded as they made their way down Fifth Avenue.

	A force shield springs from another ring, protecting him. "Why is it always you who stops me from collecting my beloved?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni let the pieces of the car fall to the ground, her eyes searching for more weapons. "Because your "beloved" is my best friend," she said, all fire and steel. "And I'm not letting you lay your filthy hands on her again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You could live an entire life in New York and never see anybody you know on the street, and here Jack was seeing two people he knew a little twice in the same month. It had to be a record.

"Is this a private party?" he asked from behind the stranger. His backpack was dropped to the side after he slid two loaded clubs from it. "The last one was fun. He's not S.H.I.E.L.D., but what is?"

	"Mind your own business, boy," he replies, firing flame from another ring towards Jack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Whatever those rings were made of, it was something her powers couldn't affect; she'd already tried and gotten nothing.

Jack's distraction, fortunately, was what Toni needed in order to assemble another weapon. Parts "borrowed" from near-by cars (the Maria Stark foundation was going to be busy with reimbursements, unfortunately) gave her a rather hefty rifle (held aloft by her power, more than strength) that fired bolts of electricity (thank goodness one of the cars had been electric.

She aimed and fired.

	Jack flipped back out of the way of the flame blast, landing in a crouch searching for an opening to get his own shots in. Luckily, he was below Toni's firing range. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They've got him surrounded; his back was turned, letting the electrical blast hit him full on. His forcefield holds, but he's not happy. He turns to where Anya lays, and he rushes towards her prone form. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, hell no!" Toni yelled. Her makeshift weapon had only been good for one shot, so she let it drop. Instead, a lamp post bent down, trying to bar his path. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack propelled himself from the crouch into a full leap at the unconscious girl. At best, he'd confuse the situation. Worst, he'd get blasted with something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Temujin blasts a cutting laser in front of him, getting the lamp post out of his way. Seeing Jack, he snarls. "You cannot have her!" He aims his telekinetic ring towards Jack and Anya. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dammit. What the hell did it take to stop this guy? Toni threw a hand out, sending a mailbox hurling toward Temujin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-10-25 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Jack let the blast carry him into Anya instead of fighting against it. He grabbed at her, using his quick reflexes to pull her into his body and roll farther away from Temujin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As the mailbox hits him, knocking him several feet, he glances up at Jack and Toni, glaring at them both. Again, his timing has been poor. He will have to destroy two heroes in order to retrieve her, and more heroes could be on their way. With a flash of light, Temujin teleports away. (Reply to this)(Parent)
