Carter thought about what his own answer would be to Elias' question as Daniel spoke. "I'm in the business because... with great power comes great responsibility. I've been blessed with this gift," He began, looking down to his hands. They stretched wider and larger into a large model of the city. "And I feel as if it's a sign from the universe... y'know, telling me to help other people. Be the greater person others can't be. This is just the start for me, I'm sure I'll have more reasons, more stories, more connections, down the line. Till' then, that's all I have to say, E." He summed up before they were so rudely interrupted by Elias' co-hort. "You must be the friend, Carter, nice to meet you." He greeted, raising a hand to shake the man
 
Nishiki

What could I do that would make me popular, but also stronger? Join a team of superheroes? Get a sidekick? But how would I find people with the same capabilities as me? There aren't many heroes that can fly this fast, or who can fly at all. And my abilities? Irreplaceable. It's not like I could just mass-produce robots. The Nishiki took me five years to build, and I was building it according to my own capabilities and personality. For me, the Nishiki is an extension of my body. But in the hands of anyone else? I survey the cockpit. Panels of knobs and buttons, switches galore, and massive screens with scrolling data points. Even if I could teach someone the basics, it would take far too long for them to get "good" at piloting a machine like this.
Then I'd have to find someone who was at least a decent hero. Someone who I could work with.
I'll figure it out. But I've got things to do. There are vandals at the Ironsteel Foundry to take care of.
 
He looked as Elias's friend walked in. Daniel sat up and looked to him. "I'm Daniel, nice to meet you." He said, still laying on the couch. Daniel gripped the remote and turned on the TV. He switched to adult swim. He then got up and opened the fridge, he grabbed 2 sprites, walking over to the friend. He offered him a Sprite. "A welcome gift." Daniel said, smirking.

"Thanks, names Jason Karnovsky. Pleasure to meet ya." Jason says as he takes the sprite with his left hand, and shakes Carter's hand with his right while applying some force. "So is it just the two of ya or are there more?"
 
"There's more..they're just doing their thing." Daniel said, slouching back on the couch as he watched some TV. He took a sip of his Sprite. "Nice to meet you Jason, take a seat if you want. He says, smiling.

Minor Arc 1
Timeskip: One Week
The date is March 1st. Nothing big has happened in the city since the train attack, other than a couple minor incidents, which were stopped easily. The sun is out, and many families are heading out to make the most of their day. The weather is 69 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is most pleasant.

If you have any Pre-Timeskip posts to do, please feel free to do them! Simply put "Pre-TS" at the top of your post. You may continue any interactions you have right now. In two days, the timeskip will be fully effective, and we will move on to the next arc.

MegaMetro News: This Week's Briefing
This week had a lot in store for us. To start, a hero by the name of Bolt, who the AVD publicly revealed on the 23rd, stormed into the Waffle House, claiming to have been looking out for suspicious activity. The hero, who has lightning powers, confronted a group of teenagers, believing them to be criminals. He then attacked them. Normal citizens at the House immediately evacuated the building. Minor damage was done, and a couple tables and chairs were destroyed.

Bolt is allied with the AVD, and it is unknown if he has received consequences. However, he released a public apology on the 24th, on social media. Here it is:

I am sorry to all citizens who were harmed by my surprising attack at the Waffle House. I will not defend myself in any way, as I know the errors of my ways. A better hero would have taken the situation in a more calm way, instead of letting their anger get the best of them. Sincerely, Bolt.

Bolt received a lot of negative feedback on social media, following his apology. For the next two days, the media buzzed about Bolt's apology, criticizing it. On the other hand, many others forgave Bolt. As of now, the controversy has died down

The Waffle House remains closed to the public, as it has since last week. Cleanup efforts have begun, and the AVD is paying for the damage. Waffle House owner Ralph Northam believes that it will be open in two to three days.

If that wasn't enough, the MegaMetro subway system was attacked exactly a week ago. According to police, a man attacked train 34TR7 as it was approaching the Thorpton Park Station. Train cameras show that the attacker killed the conductor, before then increasing the speed of the train to an illegal speed. The attacker was believed to have killed two other citizens before heroes arrived to the scene. One hero dug a colossal hole, and the train stopped. Another carried the first car of the train away to safety. The villain fled, and has not been seen since.

Police have been investigating the scene. They remain unable to identify the attacker, and his or her motives. The particular train route has been closed off, and the government is expected to patch up the hole within the next week or so. Police officers have also been deployed on each train in the city, to protect innocent people from attacks.

That is all for this week. For more information, go to megametronews.com. Thank you.

MAN O' MAYHEM


Man O' Mayhem stood in the dark room, a AVD officer tied in a chair infront of him. He set up a camera, then clicked play. He slowly walked to the officer, fear in the innocent man's eyes. "Hello..Daniel..uncle Joshie is back..see you soon. With a blink of a eye he unsheathed the pure black sword and slashed the man's head off, blood squirting.



--PRESENT DAY-- The apartment door was knocked, there was a small package on the outside of the door.



Man O' Mole

Daniel had opened the door and looked down at the package, "Hey we got a package!" He called out to the group.

Nishiki

It's been a week since that train incident. Since then, I've solved a kidnapping case, assaulted a mafia hideout, and beat up some thugs. In the Nishiki's cockpit, I flip through the latest paper. Seems like I got a mention, but there's little else about me. I do find a small article about the mafia takedown, but the rest is mainly interviews with victims of the attack and sports trivia. As if I care about the MegaMetro Defenders and how great their season is going.

(This is a bit of a plug for the first official MegaMetro sports team, the MegaMetro Defenders. They are a football team who play in Abb Stadium. A full map of MegaMetro will be released soon.)

"Oh Cool, What is it?" Elias stands up from the couch and walks over toward Daniel. At the same time, the door to Jason's room opens and out walks Jason who yawns. "What time is it? I miss anything?"
 
(Yes, Solosgar and I added a great deal to the geographic lore this morning. We're also working on a map of MegaMetro too!)
 
"It's...a tape." He said, he was staring at it. A name was on it written in marker, Joshua Rivers. "T-thats my uncle's name, guys." He walks slowly towards the TV and inserts it into the tape recorder, he switches inputs as the tape began to play. It played the same events of what happened to the AVD officer. It was Man O' Mayhem. Daniel looked shocked.

Carter was brushing his teeth that morning when the package came in. He hauled his legs towards the door in Roots sweatpants and a Panic at The Disco! shirt on. He stared down at the box, allowing Daniel to bring it to the TV area, lingering by the sink as he watched from there. He spat the rest of the toothpaste into the sink, rinsing his mouth before looking towards the tv. The image was gory, a man being incapacitated by who Daniel had claimed was his uncle. "I'm guessing that's Man 'o Mayhem. I see why they call him that..."

"He's somewhere in this city." Daniel said. "We gotta go to the post office and get records of where this came from." Daniel said, staring at the TV. "He's truly dangerous." Daniel gulped.



MAN O' MAYHEM

Joshua sat at the MegaMetro events office, viewing the events that would be taking place tonight. "MegaMetro pro wrestling on my lucky night...thousands of folks will be there, I will be a wrestler there, then at the best moment strike." Joshua smirked.
 
"Who needs the post office, bring that tape over here." Jason says, before transforming into his Raiju form. "I have enhanced senses while in this form, I'm not entirely sure but I might be able to track him down with the smell on the tape."

(TBH expected a severed head in box.)
 
Daniel nodded. "Alright, good luck." He handed Jason the tape, anxious to see where he is.


MAN O' MAYHEM

He rose from his seat. "...See you guys at the wrestling match." He said, grinning. He took out a notepad, opened it, and began writing in pen. "Ciao." He said, his dark smile huge.
 
Carter turned to Jason who'd offered to help, a great first impression towards the rest of the gang. "What're we going to do when we do find him? We're taking him down, I assume? Or is this too personal for you, Danny." He turned towards Daniel, a questioning face present.
 
"It's ok Carter, I can do it, I'm a hero now." He says, a look of guilt on his face. "I am gonna need help, his power is quite... dangerous." Daniel said. "He is on the loose and we need to put him down soon." Daniel looks down. "W-we'll kill him if we need to." Daniel said, a little regret in his voice. He waited patiently for Jason.

Bolt
Tonight I am headed to the wrestling match at Abb Stadium. I need it to cheer up my mood. I'll be coming as Bolt, not Andy Electrica. I think its safe to say that I'm cool with the city. I just hope I don't get booed at the stadium.
