Rory stands on the roof with his phone looking at the security feed, he scans through a couple of the cameras before he notices some one inside the first floor of the business building on which he is currently standing on. the person seems to be looking for a way to go into the upper floors. Inside what looks like a very nicely furnished living room Arthur circles around the fat kid looking for his chance to strike, he decides to freeze the ground around him, the fat kid looks as his shoes and legs start to freeze and laughs, the sheet of ice covering his feet starts cracking and shatters, Arthur continue circling his enemy looking for his spot, behind him the Goth girl opens a portal and out of it steps the guy with the slingshot, he whispers something to the goth girl who without saying anything opens another portal for him to jump into. With a smile on his face Gravitas puts up his fists and attacks, Arthur is suddenly swept off his feet and blasted at high speed towards the fat kid who once again manages to land a shot, this time it wasn't a solid hit but it is enough for Arthur to feel it. Borkules blasts off towards the water tower as fast as he possibly can trying to catch up to the enemy, he arrives in time to see the portal closing behind the fleeing rival. On the ground Hera angrily rams into the water tower making it's foundation pipes warp and crack as the water tower collapses on to the ground below.

Eh, I was just making a play-on-words. The latest Mad Max movie was called "Mad Max: Fury Road"
Someone has breached the building. If only Chris had the key to the infernal lock on the roof access hatch. Processing... Perhaps he should have let the golem smash it. Hera or Borkules wouldn't answer a phone call; after all, they have their own battle raging in the park. Breaking the access hatch would be the safer way back inside. On the other hand, leaving the intact would let him know if the golem was going to try and break in again. But what is it up to? It's just standing out there.

He decides to tempt fate again, getting a grip on the edge of the roof over the closest window. A sinking feeling rises within, stirring an alien feeling as he hangs over the edge and drops to grab onto the window ledge with one hand and smash the window in with the other to climb in.
Drop over roof, grab window ledge, smash window in, climb in. Take whatever Determination needed to not fall and break my whole body. Might spend Determination to recover Stamina from falling.

SNow Job takes the hit and staggers, the last portion of his face now iced up, he leaves himself nothing that ins't covered in his icy armor. He's screwed here, out numbered and out matched alone. Still he's keeping some of the busy, but where is he?

Time to get clear, so he ices up the ground and makes a break for it along his icy wave just like he did in the races. He heads for the door, then the next and the next looking for a way out, "Let's see if this fatso can keep up...."

Hera let out a battle cry as he saw his target was now gone, making the ground around him shake very lightly. He looked around the general area to see if his target had re-popped up anywhere else. He wasn't gonna let a pipsqueek like that get away.

This guy is just bating us! We should get back to Chris!

Borkules zips back towards the building, where his other companions are.

Come on, friendo!

Arthur decides to make a break for it looking to create some separation between him and the fat kid that has been controlling the fight up to now. As he goes he scans the room trying to get his bearings, the building is definitely tall and by it's layout seems to be residential the room though empty looks to be a living room, Arthur breaks through the front door of the apartment and glides through a hallway in front of him is an elevator bank, to the left of the elevators there is a door for the emergency stairs, to his right are large window panels that overlook the park where Hera stands by the now knocked over water tower, by the angle that he has Arthur is relatively sure that he is inside the top floor of one of the high rise buildings. Behind him he hears the fat guy giving chase as fast as he can.

Borkules decides to tactically retreat back to the roof where he sees Chris leaping from the roof, as he falls he steadies himself and braces for the landing, the asphalt beneath his feet crunch from the force of his body landing on it, however luckily for him there is no damage to him what so ever. Chris looks inside the lobby and sees a portal opening, from it the guy that was fighting on the park jumps out the portal blinks out of existence behind him.

Hera angrily curses at the guy managing to evade his attacks, he stands by the now destroyed water tower and notices Chris leaping off the roof and landing on the street below. In the background he also notices the portal open in the lobby of the office building.
Rory Leaping from roof Pos: 4 + 4 +3 DET = 11 vs DC 8 (Success!)

Impact imminent. Bracing.

After bracing with his robotic arms to distribute weight from his fragile human legs, Chris grunts and shakes off the pain. For a brief moment, it manages to shock Chris back to his normal (or non-quirk) state of mind, stifling a curse. "Frick, that smarts."

*Bweep* Stress mitigated.

And like that, the haze sets back in. "Intruder on ground floor."

If only he could calibrate his legs to match with his arms. When he sees Slingshot entering the lobby, he gives chase, hoping to charge the invader and stun him by pushing his quirk. And, if he could just see the boy's phone, or spot where it's kept...
Target: Slingshot kid.
Charging for a punch
Paralysis w/charge attack.
Pushing Prowess Boost if possible/available.
Awareness: find Slingshot's phone.

Let's name this attack "Stun Rush". Also, changed char sheet title to clear up confusion over character name.

One hand making an icy sheet on the ground that he can slide on, and perhaps slow the fat kid down, the other reaches out and fires a volley of ice pellets to shatter the windows. Because he plans to glide out the window and slide down his ice path out of the high rise down down down on his sheet like an Olympic luger, "Let see him follow me this way."
Break the windows, and slide out them to the ground

They've got us playing defense. I can keep close to our hostage. We need to find their guy!

Borkules navigates the offices as quickly as he can safely to secure their civilian.

Hera saw the portal open in the lobby and he ran his way back, charging through the doors. He made his way to the portal, hoping to pin down the sneaky rat before they could do anything,
