THREAD 2: AT THE UNDERSIDERS' BASE

Alec was doing jack shit.



He was sitting in the game room, pondering why he was sitting in a room full of fun things and not doing anything, when he came to the suden realization that two of his teammates were unaccounted for. Unable to compel himself to act on this new information, he decided to disregard this breakthrough, and instead grabbed a book at random and started to read. Now, Alec had never read Mein Kampf, and was frankly confused and a little bit scared that he was suddenly holding a copy. After banishing the literature off to some hellish corner of the room, resigned to wait for some outside catalyst to inspire him to pick himself up and enjoy the world...

Alec decided that this was a wholly unlikely circumstance, and instead decided to wait for someone else to come and bother him.
Someone like Lisa, who had in fact just wandered in.

"Hey."
Brian comes from nowhere as he walks into the the warehouse. He takes in the surrounding as he sees Lisa ruining the wall with her knives, Rachel, who is dozing off again, and Alec, who is reading some book with the face of Adolf Hitler as a cover.. no one seems to notice Brian walking in, so he goes by the fridge, grabs a coke, and pops the cap and takes a sip.
"What the fuck are you guys doing here? I thought we had shit to get done."
Alec and Lisa both realize Brian arrived and sit up wondering what to do next. Rachel is still asleep.

"FUCKER" Lisa shouts, as she glares at Alec who continues to feign ignorance, "I was just messing with you, that hurt goddamnit." Lisa tries to storm away angrily, but the effect is rather lost by the fact she's dragging her right leg awkwardly behind her. Giving up on this whole walking thing she plops herself down at the table turning her attention to Brian, who would hopefully be more entertaining. "Hey Bri," Lisa teased, grinning at the disapproving look the pet name elicited "what shit is there to get done, cause I'd love to see it" she continued with half fake half genuine interest "it seems to me the problem around here is the general lack of shit that needs doing."

"Alec, you know what I've said about using our powers to screw with the team, you too Lisa."
With a sigh Brian takes off his leather jacket; Brockton was cold this time of year and at least we had enough money to keep the heating on in the warehouse.
"Lisa did you get any orders from boss yet? I need the money soon."
Brian sits by the couch and relaxes for a bit. He hasn't felt this way for awhile. The couch reminds him of home. Too much of home. He shudders and just takes another sip of his coke.

Alec gives Brian a somewhat rude hand gesture, and decides that he's waited on this damn drink long enough.

Alec's shirt is now slightly damp with soda. Alec pretends not to notice.

Lisa could tell this was serious, the boss man didn't usually call for things as trivial as making sure everyone was doing ok, Lisa swallowed the smart-alec remark she had been intending to make deciding she valued keeping all her important bits inside of herself slightly more than she was amused by her own smartassery. "Danger how?" she asked hesitantly

Brian laughed to himself how convenient the boss called right as they were talking about him. The boss has a tendency of calling at the right times. But then, Brian noticed that the smile of Lisa disappeared. The tone of Lisa's voice change from her normal self to a serious one. He knew something was up.
"What happening Lisa?"

There is an explosion. You can hear some wall collapsing somewhere down the street.
Bitch wanders out of her room, bleary-eyed.
"There was an explosion."

Lisa dashes back into her room, and muffled clatter and swearing can be heard for a few moments before she emerges back out in her skintight Purple and Black suit and her formfitting mask concealing the top half of her face. Her hair has also been let down from it's usual bun and now flows freely over her shoulders and down the center of her back "let's do this" she declares with newfound determination

Rachel is angry.
"Fuck you. You don't think I can take these fuckers?"
Brian backpedals
"Woah, no, no. I was talking about for the dog's safety. Until they're charged up and ready to go!"
"Oh. Okay then."

The dogs begin to grow. Flesh piles on to them out of nowhere. By the time she's out the door, the two mutts and the rottweiler have doubled in size. She's whistling commands at them, ones Tattletale faintly recognizes as meaning "stay close" and "on guard."

Grue, Tattletale, Regent, and Bitch exit the doors, and prepare to go opposite directions down the street.

Down towards the exploded wall, Grue and Regent see a man in a black bodysuit with belts and bandoleers of knives, wearing a demonic mask with a leering, fanged, ear-to-ear grin.
It kind of reminded Grue of when Tattletale wears her own full vulpine grin.

Meanwhile, looking the opposite way down the street, Tattletale and Bitch spy a man in a black bodysuit, with belts and bandoleers of knives, wearing a demonic mask with a leering, fanged, ear-to-ear grin.
"Funny," Tattletale thought. "That grin reminds me of me."

The Oni Lee between them stares at Regent. He can't tell if the Oni Lee is staring in confusion, or anger. It doesn't matter.
He pulls out a large knife with his other arm, and rushes Grue.

At that point, another Oni Lee appears next to Regent, brandishing two knives.

Way to steal my leader role regent


Grue jumps behind Brutus for some protection with Regent. He starts to generate darkness around all the the Oni Lee's while they are still confused. Seeing that one of the clones are going for him with a knife, Grue disarms the clone with ease as he roundhouse kicks the clone, causing it to disintegrate.

Right with that happens, Tattle is already going for the next strike.

"I've never been prouder of the team." Grue thinks as he sees them already knowing what to do.

Oni Lee held Brian over edge of a nearby building.

Tattletale realized this after a few seconds.
The Oni Lees had teleported a few times and-oh. Oh no.
There were four buildings.
There were four Oni Lees.
There were four Grues.
There was one bullet in the gun.
