*The day after the super villain award conclude....and the clique...after a wild post awards party return to New York via the Schemer's famous fedora craft. The craft with all its radar deflecting and stealth devices comes to a landing at a clique safe house disguised at a farm in central long Island.
Stretching as he rises....this years super villain of the year the Schemer opens the door to the craft and gestures towards the door...allowing his darling daughters and beloved fiance to exit first. It is after all...the gentlemanly thing to do.
He himself would step out afterward...and move towards a waiting limo which would bring them back to Manhattan. Unfortunately.....problems quickly arise upon exiting the plane. For unknown to the Schemer and his companions.....doctor doom....Magneto....Loki....the kingpins, Hillary Clinton....her husband Bill...Dick Cheney and other noted top level super villains have banded together to form....the LEGION OF EVIL!!! A groups dedicated to one thing.....the elimination of the clique.
Too achieve this end....the legion has posted a massive reward for the destruction of any clique agent.....ally of the clique......or basically anyone associated with the group in any way, shape or form.
They barely get out of the plane....when energy blasts....bombs and knives come hurling towards them from above.....and from bushes near the landing sight.*
Hit the dirt!! We're under attack!! *The Schemer warns and attempts to protect Mattie and Hattie from danger by pulling them to the ground.*
--
“Oh please…” Alyssa said, taking cover and stretching a hand up as she warbles some scales, and soon enough, a bubble of protection encases them.
“You can still shoot out, they won’t get in…” she explained before directing Green Arrow to go on the defensive, and soon enough, he’s knocking arrows and taking aim…
--
The twin titans...Mia & Hattie yelp (well, Mia does) as their father pulls them down for cover.
"Dad, we can handle this."
We've been playing in the danger room long enough to know...
Hattie looks up at the objects flying towards them, bouncing off of their sister's bubble, then flips her hand out towards the objects to send them flying back towards those who threw them. Mia squirms a bit to get back up and looks at the attackers.
"SORE LOSERS! YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF MOM, DAD & WHISPER!"
--
Hard Core looks skyward, then pets her pet Wonder Woman and offers her leash to her darling. "Make sure nothing happens to him, pet. He's a bit fleshy and pointy things hurt him."
She lifts just off the ground and lets her fingers play along the line of the bubble Alyssa formed. "Nicely done..." She eases herself through the bubble and launches herself more directly at their attackers...notably Magneto, as she wanted another of his helmets for her collection, and her darling taking over his abilities would be the most sensible.
--
Landis appeared in the middle of the tarmac, quite literally, just appeared. Blinking, she noted a variety of things flying at her. Muttering softly to herself, the knives, bullets and whatever else just didn't seem to hit her, no matter how close they came.
She closed her eyes.... and again, the universe had a sickening feeling about it.
(dice, even - body switched with league of evil, odd - protected by shield for a round)

Excellent Whisper! *The Schemer said complimenting his lovely blond daughter. You never fail to impress. Maintain that protective bubble will you??
*The green arrow was firing into the bushes..an explosive arrow...causing the individual there to leap out into the open.*
It turned out to be a former member of Justin hammer's personal army.....the knife tossing mercenary, the stiletto. Other mercenary types...and hired guns were also about....visible now as they attempted surround the clique. The beetle....boomerang....the Rhino.....Spymaster, Sportsmaster, The Demonoid, Frogman, The Shocker, Electro, Manbull, Proteus, The Scarecrow, Mister Hyde, Doctor Demonicus and many others.*
The swine!! And they even brought along Proteus.......the criminal reality shifter!! Though it pains me to say it....we might need Landis to combat him. *But Lands appeared as if by magic before them.*
Now that's what I call service. *Suddenly...a shield went up around the Schemer.....defending him against all harm.*
Marvelous work, Landis!! *He noted Doom nearby and grimaced.* You are doing this!! my daughters are right....you're jealous of my genius....organization!!! *Doom replied with a bolt of energy that deflected off the landis and Aylssa formed shields.*
Mia!! Hattie!!! Take down that tinplated clod!!
*Meanwhile.....Magneto stood his ground....putting up a force shield around himself.* You'll never penetrate my shields, Hard Core...even superman failed when he tried!!

She took a moment to give her orders to Green Arrow as she gave a quick salute of thanks to Hard Core for the compliment. She felt the shields fall into place and spotted Landis… for now, it was a good thing and she let out a sigh. “Focus in. We can do this.” She said, maintaining the bubble.
--
(M-2, H-1, HC-1)
Mia cheers for her mother, going after Magneto, then blinks...her voice coming from an old man, now staring at her mother. "What the hell? Mom?" Not thinking about it, Magneto's shield drops and her mother throws her fist right into her stomach. "Oooof." Her...er...his helmet flies off as she/he/"Mianeto" doubles over.
Hattie blinks as sees the sudden posture change in her twin who was suddenly turning back to look at their father.
Um...Mia?
She blinks again then puts her hand up and holds her sister in place telepathically, feeling the overwhelming anger coming from her towards their father.
--
Hard Core, ever the violent one, punches at Magneto, finding no force field around him as he boasted, but doesn't hear the words coming from him fast enough and lets her fist fly into the older man's stomach, forcing him to double over, then she clutches the helmet as it falls from him and pauses, "Wait...what? Mia?" She furrows her brow at the now crying Mianeto.
--
Landis closed her eyes, and attempted to freeze all the bad guys in place.. and instead, ended up frozen, and vulnerable herself, still as a statue, absorbing oxygen somehow magically, her heart beating, but completely unable to move.. at the mercy of bullets, guns, and whatever else as her own shield failed.
(Roll a 100-sided die. If it's 1-50, your affected for two rounds. If its 51-100, you duck the effect.)

*The Schemer fired back at Doom with laser blasts that deflected off his personal force shield. He would simply increase the blast power and burn his way through dooms protective field. He was not about to allow his family to be threatened.*
Above he witnesses the battle between Magneto and Hard Core continuing. Pleased as he watched her somehow rip through his shields and get in a solid punch....he was about to turn his attention back to Doom when he picked up on the mental switch between Mia and Magneto.*
What the hell?? *His confusion did not last long.* Landis!!! Dear lord!! When is that girl going to learn how to control her abilities.??
*Hattie got a hold of Mia with her powers......leaving the Schemer, Whisper and Green Arrow to drive back others approaching. He felt highly confident in his teams ability to drive off this hoard of losers. Particularly with wonder woman watching his back.
Then he witnessed Landis transform into a statue. *
Oh no...what now?? *He did not wait long for an answer....as suddenly he too was transformed.*

“Okay dad, you seriously need to get someone to help her. We have to have something that can…” she trailed off as a funny sensation started down in her shoes and rose up her body as she realized the effect was happening to her as well. Alyssa tried to jolt forward, but too much of her body had become encased, so she ended up simply falling forward instead.
As her stone-still frame came to rest on its side, the effect negated her ability to maintain the mental controls she had going. The bubble faded, and Green Arrow and Wonder Woman blinked as they came out of their hypnosis...
--
(M-12, H-23, HC-56)
Mianeto, doubled over began falling, not knowing how to control her current body's powers. "Mom!?!" She starts to try to reach out to her mother, then goes completely still in the older man's body, hand still outstretched.
Hattie frowns seeing Magneto falling from the sky and simply stuns her sister's form before her attention turning to her father freezing up, then Whisper.
What? No? How...
She tries to move towards her father, then stops in her tracks, standing as if a hood ornament, fairly well balanced...just before a pigeon lands on her hand.
--
HC looks at Mianeto, "Focus on your body...the metal..." She reaches out, then sees the man's eyes glaze over and continue to fall.
"The hell?" She dives down to catch the outstretched hand and drifts downwards to set her/him on the ground before she looks back at the rest standing, or in Alyssa's case falling like statues. Then her eyes notice Landis, frozen in place as well. "That explains a lot...Wonder Woman, protect the frozen ones!"
Then she furrows her brow seeing WW and Green Arrow shaking off Whisper's charms.
"Oh sh*t."
--
Landis heard the snide comments from Schemer and the others, but they too fell silent as she did. Instead, she watched as the enemies in the bushes and such blinked, and then realized there was a certain advantage, started coming forward, to claim their rewards...
Landis felt arms around her, picking her up. Hood placed over her face, something.. heavy.. around her neck, and she felt all her abilities draining away, as life slowly moved back into her body, leaving her completely limp in whomever
s arms.. "Schemer..?" she managed to whisper weakly
--
*The Schemer watches in frozen horror as Landis's mindless machinations turn the tide in favor of their foes. Not far off...Hillary Clinton holding a laser cannon summons the legion to action.*
Quick!! They are helpless....grab them!!
*Doom was more cautious.* This could be a trick. Some magical ploy to lure us in.
Or we could be losing out on the perfect opportunity to capture them. *The Kingpin replied.* Their magic has turned against them. Everyone....move in....capture the clique now!!
*Over a half dozen super-powered mercenary criminals advanced...planning to grab the gorgonized clique members....while those that could fly, Boomerang, Cyclone, the beetle, Helio and the flying tiger went upward to eliminate the unaffected Hard Core.*
--
She felt life slowly fade back into her and blinked a little as he looked around at the faces staring down at her. She might have considered it to be uneven odds if it was anyone else… however.
She sucked a deep breath in, preparing to belt out a note when she found an arrow tip at her throat and followed it up to Green Arrows beautiful chin. She pouted and let out the breath she’d taken in and let her head hit the ground in defeat.
--
Wonder Woman looks around, and being the hero she is begins to attack the villains present, mostly those airborne.
Mianeto stays still on the ground, but then the form of Mia closer to her father blinks and shakes a bit as her sister's stun to the body fades. She gets up and looks around. "What the hell?"
She furrows her brow seeing the arrow guy point one at her sister's neck, then just leaps at him to pull him away from her sister Alyssa.
Hattie remains frozen, staring towards the pigeon on her hand, trying to get her fingers to move again.
--
HC shakes her head and mutters as she's the only one it seems left to fight off the other villains. "Come lackeys, let me show you why I'm reigning villainess of the year."
She launches and all out physical assault against those coming towards her, hoping that Landis's blunder does not last for long, as they tended not to...using Magneto's helmet as a boxing glove as she tries to make her way towards Doom.
--
Landis finally was able to move - struggle, she felt something around her neck.
"A collar, which is designed to negate super-abilities." came an unidentified chuckle.. but Landis knew.. it was the one she'd turned into a rabbit before.. He'd gotten her.. and now she was going to pay. She did the one thing she could do - scream like a little girl, loud, piercing screams.. but her powers had completely and utterly failed her whilst this collar was on..
And anyone else that might notice - the other villains all had these collars too, clearly come prepared..
--
*Doom's armor had it's own built in radar.....enabling him to sense all that was going on around him. So many images taxed even its ability but he was capable spotting Hard Core coming at him. Even for deadly doom...Hard Core presented quite a challenge.
Keeping his forcefield in place....he rose to meet her....channel all the energy he could into his gauntlets to height the force of his punches to levels he believed even Hard Core would be hard pressed to withstand.*
I suspect you'll regret coming for me my dear. My thunder punch has knocked out the thing!!!
*Meanwhile....the Schemer is returned to his normal state. Seeing his family in danger he attempts to help....channeling his telepathic power into the minds of green Arrow and wonder Woman in an attempt to gain control.
At the same moment.....he fires off bursts of his omniblaster....trying to keep those threatening Mia, Hattie and Landis at Bay. Unfortunately....Lex Luthor.....unnoticed in the fray clubbed the Schemer from behind with log plucked from the ground.*
Fools!! You'll never defeat the clique!! *The blow was struck.* Or not.
*And the schemer fell to the ground...barely conscious.*
--
All it took was the moment of hesitation she saw in Green Arrow’s face to duck out of the arrow’s path and do a windmill kick to get her on her feet. She took off running for cover, but with all those faces staring down at her, she somehow doubted she was going to make it.
--
Magneto felt himself aching still from HC's punch to his stomach, but not remembering it happening, he cries in pain, the weak feeble old man.
Mia, seeing Alyssa run for cover tosses Green Arrow aside and runs to her father, leaping into the air to land a solid full forced kick to Lex Luther's face as he mocks her father.
Hattie looks everywhere, trying to figure out what was happening before she looks to Magneto to take over his body, forcing him to start fighting for them, noticing the collars and trying to seek them out to crush them.
--
HC snickers and sends the helmet covered fist against Doom's body, barely wincing at his glancing blows. "I'm not the Thing, Doom. I'm much worse."
--
Landis tried to reach out, to pull the mask off her face.. and was partially successful, only to look deep into Loki's eyes.. her power gone, she was completely susceptible to his command to sleep, and her eyes fluttered closed, and they faded away..
Landis, it seemed, was kidnapped...
