I Wish I Had a Castle in the Sky ( OPEN )

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: All over America
WHEN: Nov. 14th-24th
WHAT: The Cosmic Cube is creating multiple realities for all the imPorts. Where are these "universes" coming from and who is wielding it? Are you strong enough to withstand the temptation of a new reality and thwart this misguided attempt at happiness?
WARNINGS: N/A

Hey, Davis! Did you move anything? I've got that Barnes kid's stuff logged. [ He has a digital tablet propped up on a clean, steel table full of plastic bags and baskets filled the different paraphernalia. It's rather reminiscent to an experience in the American security line at the airport. One such basket belongs to James Buchanan Barnes. ] Think something's missing. Says six item's logged, but only—Davis?

[ The man was right there a second ago, wasn't he? Looking around there's no signs John Davis had been there at all, except for in his memory. Shit, has he been talking to himself this whole time? Well, it isn't anything important. The string bean isn't going to miss one dumb little paperweight or whatever it was.

Little does he know just how powerful it is... ]



[ John spares no time or energy leaving Cap Canaveral. He doesn't even put up his cleaning cart before he's zipping through security at the blink of an eye. People've been calling him crazy for so long it's isolated him from the regular rhythm of society, but it's all been worth it for this chance. He will be a hero finally, just like the rest of the imPorts he idolizes. People will start to think twice about him and everyone else with powers. They will have the rights they need to protect this country and keep the Commies out.

This is the energy driving him to hold a dangerous item in his possession. He doesn't know a whole lot about it, only what he's gleaned from gossip rags and conspiracy theory websites. But it's worth the chance to find himself in prison, or worse. In the security of his lonely little apartment he holds the Cube in his hands as it pours out tremendous power. Without words it becomes in tune with his inner self and his wishes. It feeds off of it to create something more than itself. In his world imPorts will have just what they want, whatever it is, however contradictory.

But in truth, what good can come out of a thief too wrapped up in his own fantasies? That is no hero, and John cannot truly control the power he is playing with. As it feeds, the air around him turns hot—too hot to even breath. It's like the oxygen is burning up before it reaches his lungs. The world around him begins to fade as he holds on for dear life, but in the end his consciousness is snuffed out; a small sacrifice for a new world. ]

[Luckily, Lady Copborg is on the scene! Don't mind that her control panel is a little bit off-model from last time. She's every bit as ready to combat the forces of evil!]

Don't think you can escape! Not even the the layers of asphalt, dirt, and rock we stand upon can stop the penetrating beams of my x-ray eye! And my extendo-matic limbs are more than long enough to drag you from that hole!

[Having successfully narrated everything she's planning to do, she sets to work, her arms extending into the tunnel to try to grab the Shade by his top hat!]

[ Shade, who was expecting some sort of fun just laughs. It might be a touch mean, but it's certainly Enthusiastic, and when she extended her arms to pick him up, it's with a touch more enjoyment, and he struggled, before he used his cane to direct the jackhammer to change directions. ]

I hope you know what you're in for! Not even your metal arms can withstand the power of the shadows from my cane!

[ And not at all teleporting. Or immortality. Or anything of the sort. ]

Take this!

[ The jack hammer sure did swing around to try to jack hammer her arm to let him go. ]

[The jack hammer manages to loosen her grip on him, the diabolical fiend!]

Don't think you've outsmarted me so easily! Let's see you use your sinister shadows against me when you can't even see my silhouette!

[She presses a button on her chest plate (a different one than last time, for those keeping track) and vanishes! Except for a faint dotted outline if you squint hard. She moves in to give him a good ol' right cross, because there's no better way to give a supervillain what for than with a punch upside his head.]

[ There isn't anything better, and while Shade could likely teleport out -- that wasn't the fun in this exercise, was it? He only grinned, afterward, and started to laugh. ]

Invisible, are you?

[ Shade pressed another button on his cane, and the inky black from the jackhammer started to grow, and expand, and envelop them. ]

I have contacts that can see in the dark. I doubt you will be so fortunate with these shadows!

You'd do well not to doubt my x-ray eye! Not only can it see through solid objects, but it can pear through even the darkest shadows!

[She taps a few more buttons, and the eye begins to glow, scanning the darkness for her diabolical, if dapper, enemy.]

There you are! Now try on my extendo-punch for size!

[Her arm shoots out to try to smack him upside his top hat-wearing head.]
foreshadower: (Seriously I like quill pens)

[ Shade laughed, before he vanished, only to reappear behind her, smooth as butter.

Because even if the shadows were "from his cane", some things were just natural to the ex-supervillain.
]

Now! Let's see what we have here!

[ he reached out, to grab that extending arm, to give it a look. ] This seems all rather over-the-top, doesn't it? Even for a hero?
