It's an emotion, taking me over....
Iris laid on her stomach in her bedroom at home.

She was bored. Her homework was done, there was nothing good on t.v., and almost everyone was busy. If there was one thing that Iris hated, it was being bored. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger, looked out her window, and heaved a sigh.

Why was there never anything to do around here?

The radio, which had been playing an upbeat Taylor Swift song, suddenly cut off in the middle of the chorus.

"Word that the Rainbow Raiderettes have appeared in downtown Keystone City has reached us here at KX293 FM. The Raiderettes are currently making their way through the stores at the Golden Ridge Plaza...shoppers are in a panic...."

Iris didn't need to hear anymore. She hopped up, grinning. Finally, something to DO. Quickly changing into her Impulse costume, Iris zipped out of the house, and down to Golden Ridge Plaza. She didn't think to call Jai or her Dad.

She could take them with one hand behind her back.

She was, after all, the Fastest Girl Alive.

	Pippi doesn't have the offensive punch of some of the others, but she is one of the better with her gem, through practice and consistency more than anything. She dives out of the main line of fire, and just focuses on hoping none of her friends get hurt - well, or any of the bystanders, can't have stray shots hitting them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Candy, hit by the water whip, turns to Cait, sopping wet, and enraged. Her arms are held out to let the water drip off of her. "Oh. My. GAWD. YOU. *BITCH!" She begins blasting repeatedly towards Cait, trying to take her down!* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Temporarily out of the line of fire, Dinah fired strobe blasts from her Beetle-Gun at the Raiderettes to try and disorient them long enough for the others to break them up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait tried to dodge, but she got hit with a blast of red energy. She growled and sent the whip toward Candy. "Take that!" she yelled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The first casualty is always the plan," Ruth mutters -- she and Jay would need to talk later -- and makes her way in, zipping around to avoid the blue blasts and trying to grab the redhead to pull her away from the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Candy snarls, furious at getting soaking wet, even as her shield protects her from any additional damage from the water whip. "You ruined my HAIR!" she squeals. She fires blast after crimson blast at Cait, not too careful about where the blasts are going... including one that goes straight for Ruth... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian, meanwhile, begins weaving a spell to entrap the blond girl with the emerald ring within a shield to take her down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When Ruth grabs Buffy she starts screaming in a panic, firing blasts wildly and with zero accuracy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Though she tried to move in time, the orange blast struck Dinah square on, landing her flat on her back in front of a computer store. Behind her goggles, her eyes drifted up toward the store's window, showcasing the new iPad. Slowly... Dinah's lips began to twitch into something approximating a grin. "...Mine?"

	The blast hurts. Ruth tries to focus on restraining Buffy safely, but even the way the spoiled, inconsiderate little criminal is screaming.... Ruth can practically feel her blood pressure rising. She looks over to see how Jay is doing.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	By Poseidon's beard that stung. A growl escaped Cait and she moved the water in close to the girl with the red beam and tried to form a block of ice around her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay, so far, is doing fine. He dodges and weaves among the beams, combat sense helping him overcome their relative ineptness. He heads for the girl with the violet ring, vaulting over her blast. "So, you want to surrender now, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay ducks under the yellow blast, giving her a sly grin, before swinging at her. "You might want to re-think that, Princess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mitzi fired a violet blast at Iris, before walking over to Jay. She tapped him on the shoulder, a wide grin on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The violet blast made contact with Iris, sending her off her feet.

"Ugh..." she stood up, looking over in the direction of....Cerdian.

He was so hot when he was using magic to kick the butts of the bad guys. Why hadn't she ever noticed that before? His eyes got all glowy....and he was just so sexy in his costume. It made her heart melt.

He was absolutely the most perfect, most handsomest guy on the entire planet. She would do anything for him.

This fight wasn't that important right? What was important was keeping Cerdian happy! Iris zipped away, coming back seconds later with her arms laden with cookies. For Cerdian!

	He looks at her, confused... and is struck by a beam of green light from the Raiderettes, sending him slamming into a wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When he's not attacked by the girl behind him, Jay's demeanor shifts, giving her his best grin and 'come hither voice' It worked once as a distraction for all of them but angry-chick, right? "Well hello there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey there, big boy." Mitzi grabbed his face and kissed him. Hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2010-04-26 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Jay blinks as he's kissed. There's a moment of being about to try and pull free, and then it turns into dipping Mitzi low and kissing her back, hard. Why hasn't he ditched that prude yet? These girls are way more fun. Why did he ever think he would ever be anything but the dumb jock, out for fun anyway? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mandy was hit by the man and went flying back into two mannequins in the Gap store. She blinked a few times and then passed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mandy!" Pippi shouts, diving after her and applying her healing touch. She eyes Iris. "Your friends aren't very nice. I don't think I want to play with you after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
