Playtime!
New York is a city that's used to the strange and bizarre.

But a mass of toys, rolling along on roller skates, vaguely humanoid shaped, with arms made up of super soakers, and a doll with a cracked face making up the head, is even the most jaded New Yorker might find pretty unusual. A jack-in-the-box grabs the string behind on the cracked doll and pulls.

"Come and play!" it declares in a scratchy, electronic, childish sing-cong voice. But while people run screaming, the toy pile scampers forward, firing a corrosive fluid from its squirt-rifle arms as it goes.

"Well, shit."

Will had just spent his third day wandering around New York. The first day, there was the meeting with the JSA that ended...well, "odd" would be putting it mildly. The second, he met Jonathan Kent, the son of Superman. his grand entrance? Spilling blueberry cheesecake chunk all over the famous "S".

The third? A mass of self-propelled toys that shoot corrosive acid.

Without a second thought, Will found a small alley (New York is awesome that way) and yelled the word to become Marvel.

"SHAZAM!"

In a flash, Will was flying forward into what looked to be a childs' nightmare. Citizens were running from the horde of misfit toys, which proceeded to spit out it's corrosive payload. Marvel got in the way of three such attacks, taking the shots for innocent New yorkers who were unlucky enough to be in their way. The Power of Zeus did wonders to ensure the attack did no damage to him, but the sick smell made Will a bit more light-headed than he liked.

Determining where the attack originated, Captain Marvel flew in just in time to see an umbrella construct protect someone in a very brightly colored uniform.

"Hey, man," Will said in recognizing his fellow JSA'er. "Who's the clown with the busted up face?"

	There's a flash of gold, blue, and a tiny bit of green, as a force-field clad flying individual smashes into the clown. "Never fear, fellow heroes, GOLDSTAR is here!" He KNEW this was a great day to make the jaunt from Gotham to Manhattan. Score. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The toys seem to envelope the individual, action figures and dolls in the mass grabbing and pulling him in. "Plaaaaytiiime," the dollhead declares as the jack-in-the-box pulls the string once again. A BB-rifle emerges from the torso-like mass of toys, and it begins firing BBs at deadly speeds towards the other two heroes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alex lowers his construct when Will flies in. "Hey, man. Toy-freak," he gestures to the monster made of playthings. He starts to say something about smashing it when Goldstar appears. The Lantern in momentarily distracted, just staring. "Who?" he asks, confused. "Uh. I'll rescue goldie there, you keep doll face busy?" he suggests to Will before blasting off towards Goldstar. Concentrating, the young hero sends a glowing lasso down to grab Goldstar and help pull him out of the mass of toys.

	"Got it." In a flash, Will begins tearing apart the myriad toys with the most dangerous weapons on them, as per the Wisdom of Socrates. But there are so many of them, and they keep showing up. God damn, they're like zombies! Plastic...acid-spitting zombies, Will thinks as he takes apart another one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Goldstar lets out a yelp as he starts kicking and flailing his way out of the mass. "That does it! No more collective-based enemies! I'm done with swarms!" Lasers. Lots of lasers. If lasers aren't solving your problems, you're not using enough lasers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The doll fires a massive rocking-horse at Will from its chest... with the force of a cannon. Meanwhile, between the lasers and the lasso, Goldstar is pulled out of the mass feet-first. A teddy bear with razor-sharp teeth attempts to bite for Goldstar as he is pulled free. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex pulls Riley away from the mass of toys and lets him hang in the air at eye-level until he starts flying under his own power. The teddy bear gets an odd look but the Green Lantern is pretty sure Goldstar can handle that one on his own. "You alright?" he asks, looking Riley over both to check for obvious injury and just because. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Riley lets out a downright girlish squeal as the teddy bear latches on. It doesn't get through the force field, but the pressure, right on his left butt-cheek, is real and uncomfortable enough.

Twisting his arm around, another laser blast, (aimed VERY carefully) gets rid of it. Then he can finally take a look at his aide.

"Thank you, fellow crime-fighter. Don't believe we've met. Goldstar, charmed I'm sure." This would be a much more smooth introduction if he wasn't rubbing his butt. It hurt, after all. He hoped he wasn't marked, even if the suit had kept him from getting torn up. Track shorts didn't do much to cover injuries.

	Alex laughs a bit at the squeal, watching just where that bear bites. He shakes his head as the bear gets blasted away. The Lantern offers a hand, leaning to the side to check out Goldstar's butt. "No, we haven't met. I'm the Green Lantern," he says, lasso construct fading away. "Hurt?" he asks, glancing down at Toyman and trying to figure out a good method of attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)
