A little street performance...

Walking through the streets, Meteo was plesantly surprised. No one knew him here, yet. He needed to change that. Scouring the area, he found a crowded street corner devoid of any performers. This would be where he set up. He reached the corner quickly, placing a stereotypical felt hat upside down on the ground. A few passersby eyed the offering plate, and a few more even paused to see what he was up to. A voice in his head that he knew all too well spoke out to him.

"Hey Alex, let me handle this one. I seem to be more of a people person than you are."

"Just hurry up, Max, I want to get this started already"

Max got up on a nearby step and spread his arms towards the people.

"Come one, come all! The show is about to begin! You will see things here that will astound and amaze, surprise and daze, for the rest of your days! Just a tip of my hat..." Meteo used a little of his wind power to lift the hat into the air, turning it around and dipping the corner, giving the impression of someone tipping their hat to the audience, before returning it to it's original position. "...and we can begin!" A few claps and a cheer were given, but skepticism was still prevalent. Max lept from his perch back to ground level and walked along the front line of the growing audience. "To start things off right, I will need a volunteer. Anyone?" A woman right in front of him wearing a short skirt raised her hand, and Max smiled graciously. "Alas, my dear, you wont like this particular trick if you are participating. You see, I plan to make my volunteer fly, and with your current attire, this would become a much different show than planned!" His wit earned him a few more chuckles as the woman blushed, and a few more hands were raised. Max chose a different volunteer, another young woman wearing tight jeans and a worn, tie-dye tee. Max put on a face that exuded both confidence and concentration. He focused his powers, surrounding the woman with concentrated air, alowly lifting her to build anticipation. She started getting higher and higher, coming to a stop a few feet above the crowd. Wild applause broke out, and people cheered madly. Money was tossed into the hat, but Max never broke his concentration.

Then Alex came back to the front. "Now its MY turn to have a little fun!" Meteo's confident facade faded quickly to a face of insanity, as the control of the body switched again between the two identities. Meteo focused the air into a more concentrated current, until the woman was surrounded entirely by pure oxygen. "For my next act, I will make this lovely woman DISAPPEAR!" Meteo shot a blast of fire at the suspended volunteer, and the concentrated oxygen lit up immediately. The resulting explosion sent chunks of charred human flesh into the crowd. Initially, everyone was shocked by what had just happened, but as body parts started raining down they all ran, screaming. Meteo just cackled and started shooting searing beams into the throng.



((This is an open thread, just so I could get a little RP in on Meteo. He's been gathering dust since I made him. Anyone's welcome to join, Heroes wanning to stop the madness or even Villains willing to join in. Meteo still hasnt been intro'd into SCAR, so whatever's fine! I kinda stretched his powers a bit here, but it made for a good show, right?))

A slow clapping came from behind, Lukas (not Fantom) walked behind him.

"Nice show" he laughed.

"I could use someone like you in SCAR"

Meteo spun around quickly to face Lukas. He didnt remember hearing anything, but he WAS a little preoccupied terrorizing the locals. Meteo eyed up the newcomer, but decided reluctantly not to attack. The man's confidence piqued their curiosity.
"Heh, glad you enjoyed it. What I want to know, though, is why exactly do I need SCAR? I'm perfectly happy just doing what I want. Seems to be working so far."
"Careful how you word this, Alex. We wouldnt want to offend the most powerful villain group on the planet, now would we?"
"I can handle this, Max. I dont need you looking over my shoulder all the time!"

"SCAR, you need them so when you are doing things like this" he said pointing to the dead people.

"And GUN comes to stop you, you have friends to help" he laughed as he picked up a body part of his shoe and threw it to the side.

Meteo smiled as he watched Lukas clean his shoes. It was probably a futile effort, considering the entire area was covered in gore. Meteo himself was drenched in the bodily remains.
"Hmm, well if you guys are so powerful, how about a little demonstration?" Meteo cracked a few knuckles and grinned. "I say we find a hero, and the one who takes him out first wins. Think you're up to it?" Brief wisps of flame danced along the ridge of his fists, emphasizing his eagerness to start.

(Sorry about this Atreyu, I accidentally erased your message feel free to re-post)

"Aint no need ta look..." Pain said cracking his knuckles as he stepped out of the alley way...."and aint no way your bringin me down..." Pain popped his neck and crossed his arms..."There a reason you're fuckin up my city?"

"Ah Pain you know I like to have some fun, don't ruin it for me" Lukas laughed not bothering to use his Symbiote.

Meteo eyed the newcomer suspiciously. "Haha, come to see the show? The next performance isnt for a few more hours, I'm afraid. If you wait patiently, I'm sure we could even find a place for you in the show!" Meteo's head immediately started shaking back and forth.

"Like we'd really let you live that long. Who are you to be so pompous that you automatically assume that this entire city belongs to you? Didnt your mother ever teach you to share? Ours didnt, but I suppose we killed her to fast for her to really try." Meteo's face broke out in a grin, revealing just how insane he truly was. His eyes widened, and he stared at Pain eagerly. "But enough talking, I think I will enjoy peeling the flesh from your bones! It will make for an excellent area rug!" Meteo glanced over at Lukas, but quickly returned his gaze to the hero.

"Feel free to join in if you can muster up the courage. I'd love to see how well you SCAR guys hold up in a fight." Meteo threw his arms outward, covering one in flames and surrounding the other with a vortex of air.

"Now lets get this started!"

"Hmm" Lukas said smiling.

"A real go getter I see" he said as he removed his sunglasses revieling his pitch black eyes.

"Well let's see if you are SCAR material Scitzo"

(I don't know you have dual personalities yet, he just thinks your crazy)

Pain crackd his knuckles..."You aint got a clue what your in for, Fantom over there does...SO he knows the whoopin Ima put on ya!" Pain licked his lips and cracked his knuckles, but it was a different Pain...His youth had left him once more...

"Ah Pain but I also know your weakness, and you know what happens when I know your weakness just ask Ein.....oh what, that's right" Lukas chuckled then the symbiote covered his body.

"Bull shit, you couldn't take Ein on by yourself so you cowards attacked him together..." Pain spat in disgust, "You're weak with out your little boyfriend, so I'll make mince meat outta the both of you!" Pain put his fists up..."And I am weak against nothing..."

"Aha I guess we will never figure out who would win between me and Ein, but I can fight you here, without my boyfriend, I think I can take you" he laughed as he walked slowly towards Pain

"Or maybe I will let Flame boy here have a shot, and go the old fashioned SCAR way and kill you at the end, or maybe soomewhere in the middle, hell possibly at the start, we will have to see" he smiled

"Bring it Pain, lets hope that old age hasn't got to you"

Meteo circled to the right, trying to position himself on the opposite side of Fantom. He wasnt sure what they were talking about, but he was all to eager to start already. "If you two are done chatting, perhaps we can get to the meat of this little encounter. Such trivial matters of 'Who killed who' and 'Who is weaker' can all be solved very easily. The ones who are alive are better than the ones who are dead. And we are about to find out who's weakest!" Meteo sent a blast of fire directly at Pain, making sure that it came from an angle that wouldnt hit Lukas if the target dodged.
