Game On
Two days after her recruitment mission, Angela Holt sits inside a warehouse bunker in Star City. She pores over the maps of the Super-Max prison intently as she waits for the others to arrive. The warehouse was decent for tonight's purposes, but they needed a much better, much more secure facility. Belle Reve was an option, but that was too close to St. Roch and Angela didn't want to take the chance of going there and reopening old wounds.

When everyone arrives, Angela looks up and nods to each of them in turn.

"Thank you for coming. If you're ready to get down to work, we can get started." she says.

	"Last chance, you two. I don't want have to hurt either of you, but I will." Captain Atom says. "Guards, ready weapons." he says, raising his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right. Not doing a damned countdown. In her neighborhood, those idiots were called 'roadkill'. Zoe dropped to one knee and began firing at the guards around Captain Atom's body. All were easy hits, all went down, all were unable to use their weapons. Working hands and wrists were helpful for that action. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vertigo put himself into motion when Zoe started her firing, directing the full brunt of his power concentrated in a narrow field upon Captain Atom. Metal skin or not, there had to be something there he could effect. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Captain Atom barely had time to acknowledge the Whiskey-Tango-Fox Trot situation that was Zoe's accuracy, but he was ready for the pair of them to attack.

He fires a blast of energy at the pair of the as Vertigo's effect hits and the world starts to spin. He's not completely disoriented; it's more like he tied a really ad one on at the bar, but he's still standing at the moment.

He tries to shake it off, stepping toward Vertigo slowly with the intent of grabbing him with his superior strength.

	With the guards down, Zoe went on the move. From her kneeling position, she barreled into Captain Atom's knees to take advantage of Vertigo's influence on the hero. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vertigo took several quick steps back, away from the Captain, while Zoe attacked him. He cut his effect, being unable to focus it enough to just affect the him. He kept his knives at the ready. If he saw an opening, well, he was certain good enough to go for an eye, even on a possibly invulnerable opponent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zoey runs into Atom's leg, which is literally like hitting a tree trunk made of steel. He stumbles slightly, but recovers, reaching down to grab her.

When Vertigo cuts his effect, Captain Atom can feel his head start to clear. He lifts his arm and sends another pair of blasts at Vertigo at low intensity. He doesn't want to fry the guy before he can tell them who sent him.

	Ugh. Zoe rocked back from the steel tree truck and rolled away from Captain Atom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The blasts struck Vertigo square in the chest, knocking him down before he could dodge. He struggled to get back to his feet. "Schweinehund..." he growled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Captain Atom is still trying to clear his head, so he's not as fast on the draw as he could be right now. He continues to advance on Zoe and Vertigo, hoping to catch them before they get around the corner they came from. "Guards. Intruders in...Main Garrison. Repeat, intruders in main garrison." he calls over his commlink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Get moving," Zoe ordered Vertigo. She reloaded her guns in seconds. "I'll hold him off, you take care of any guards coming." With that, she began firing at Captain Atom, aiming at whatever would make him pause long enough for Vertigo to recover himself: eyes, mouth, ears, and groin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vertigo got up quickly, beginning to make his escape. He cast his effect in front of him a wide arc, to blast any guards who would be coming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The guards that are quickest to respond run right into the Vertigo wave and become disoriented, falling to floor and clutching at their skulls.

Captain Atom isn't injured by Zoe's shots, but they do slow his progress, allowing her to keep some distance between the two of them. Atom doesn't dare fly in this enclosed space, much less use any of his more damaging abilities as long as there is a chance of the guards being hit.
