Urban Gymnastics (open to all)
Breathing hard, Jack managed to land lightly on a rooftop and fall down in the shadow of a brick chimney. He’d pushed it with that last dive, but the exhilaration pushed him to take it. It was a high he was quickly becoming addicted to despite the danger of being out in the city at night dressed in gray-black and a mask over his face. Who did he think he was, Daredevil?

He waited to catch his breath before coming out of the shadows to look at the city from his vantage point.

	Ryan caught the truncheon and put it back together so that he could fire a cable shot at Rhino’s legs. With a little luck the shot might trip him up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The truncheon and the club collided right behind Rhino's legs. He took a quick glance back and laughed as he continued to charge through the destroyed doors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack could take the laugh. After all, the guy didn't get any of the money he'd tried to steal. He moved forward to grab his club and make another attempt to bring him down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nothing too weird about the energy signature. Good chance this guy was all about muscle and equipment. Well, if he was brought down, it'd probably be by the guys, but Vernique, as she flew in close at high speed, had all she needed for a very good description. And maybe the little distraction she had planned would help slow him down, and maybe it would just make for a little addendum to the physical description she'd be giving later, but the key point of the plan was to drop down as hard as she could and pretty much springboard her nigh-indestructible little feet against the lacrimal bone of his face to jump right back out of the way again.

	There was a shadow across his vision and then pain on one side of his nose. He swatted at the shadow, but it disappeared as soon as it appeared. His one eye teared up, but he kept charging ahead. He wasn't paid to get caught. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack threw his club as hard as he could, aiming for Rhino's lower back. He was a big target and Jack's intent was to force the big man off balance. He followed at top speed to help with the anticipated trip and fall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even flying at superspeeds, it's getting tiring to keep pace with this guy, size difference and all, but Vernique tries to stay above him and keep watching the situation. She knows she's not fully in her element here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rhino kept running. He felt the club hit his lower back, but the suit absorbed the blow. He kept running. There was a car coming down the street. Rhino stopped long enough to grab it and toss it back at the people following him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Still running after Rhino Ryan dives out of the way of the car that gets thrown back at him and the others. Ryan gets himself up to continue to chase after Rhino. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A couple of backflips and a handspring to get out of the way, and Jack was chasing after Rhino as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique finally stops trying to tail the Rhino.

That was a moving car. Logically, there are people in that car.

As fast as she can, Vernique darts over to it and slams into it as hard as she can to divert its path through the air in order that at least it'll land upright in a less-disastrous collison than it might have. If that works, when the stars leave her eyes -- her invulnerability has its limits -- she'll check on the passengers, leaving any further pursuit of the Rhino to the boys.

	Rhino didn't look back to see what happened to the car or the wannabe heroes. He kept running. Getting caught was not an option. He grabbed a parked car and threw it back at the heroes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Using a wall run on one of the nearby buildings to avoid the newly thrown car Ryan keeps going after Rhino but this time not losing as much momentum. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack covers the other side, leaving the street for the line of parked cars. He leaps from car to car, trying hard to close the distance between himself and Rhino. At the very least, he wants to see where the guy goes to ground at and find it later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rose_red 2010-02-03 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Rhino charged ahead, not stopping to grab a car this time. He just wanted to get out of there. Jail was so not him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ryan was really starting to pick up speed now that he didn’t have to worry about cars flying at him. Though he was not sure if he could catch up to Rhino with how fast he was charging not that Ryan was going to stop chasing him though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-02-03 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Jack was still chasing on the theory that a big guy like Rhino was supposed to tire out more quickly, and guys like him should have the stamina to outlast them. The theory needed more work. But he kept going. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Normally bigger people do tire sooner, but the suit gave Rhino superhuman abilities. He continued to run full speed down the middle of the road and in between traffic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-02-03 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Ryan was starting to reach the top speed he could maintain for endurance running but still was not catching up to Rhino. This guy tired out at some point and when he did Ryan knew he could catch up too him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack gave up parked car obstacles to using moving cars. When one slowed, he jumped to another one, leapfrogging his way after Rhino. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Using a similar wall running tactic as before Ryan evades getting hit by the car and is now starting to gain some ground since Rhino had to stop charging to throw the car. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rose_red 2010-02-04 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	Rhino was going to try a different tactic. He put his head down and charged straight at the two do gooders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack was starting to wear down, but he couldn't help shaking his head as he watched Rhino come towards them. The guy was insane. Jack could avoid thrown vehicles without a problem, but how were they going to take the guy down? He kept jumping from car to car toward Rhino. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
