With a Knock on the Door the team are rudley awoken, by some Street Punk with vibrant hair.
He barges his way in stating "That was a cool explosion you guys set off at the Fire station!"
With a lot of too and fro with Christian and Chuck, Lynx announces he is one of them, and goes to demonstrate his power by trying to mimic one of them, instead becomes a mass of a combination of all three of them, but job done he has powers!

Born in Ibadan, and growing up with the stories of the Empowered, that despite them being illegal, Lynx wanted to be just like them.
His Dream came true when the Fire Station Exploded and he somehow blended into the background unseen from those masked vigilantes that took out the mob in there!
Reluctantly they allow him into team platies.
Chuck puts on some bacon for some sarnies, while Reece is still snoring in his room.
The team phone Captain Franks over trying to get the blood sample tested, who said he will send Sergeant Kerns over to pick it up.
Christian gives a different address of another vacant house near by.
Chuck leaves Reeces Bacon Sarnie on his chest so he has something to munch when he wakes.
As soon as they arrive and enter the house, they hear a car pull up, and a loud banging on the door.
Sergeant Kerns is at the door, with a bit of distain on his face. “Don't much care for you super hero types,”
He says with a gruff voice, “But the captain trust ya so I guess if he means to clean up the department of all the filth, then I'm willing to help out.”
Christian hands Sergeant Kerns the syringe of blood to be tested.
Sergeant Kerns leans to whispers in Christians ear. “Been needing to clean house around here for years, so if you are going to do it best you start with the worst of the scum.”
Kerns gives Christian a small packet of papers, evidence sheets, and photos of crime scenes. “We got a detective on the force, likes to beat his collars to death rather then bring them in. He has a reputation of killing more then one punk and dropping the bodies in the river. I think he does it because its fun, but also because he works for one of the Mob crews. Which one I can't say.”
Christian takes the packet of papers and tell Kerns they will look into it.
The Team read through the paper and decide that they should follow up on this Max lead at the TV repair shop.
On the way past a park, they see people fleeing and a rampaging purple monster tearing trees out of the park, and destroying the merry-go-round in a rusting park.
In the middle of the small park though is a large purple giant, a mutated thing that might have once been a man, but now is all monster.
It’s raging about, big and impossibly strong.
Chuck slams on the breaks.
We have to stop the thing before someone gets hurt.
Christian phone Reece to tell them where they are.
Reece finishes his bacon sarnie and fast flights his way over to the park.
Lynx is dancing about in panic, as well this is kinda scary.
Reece storms in a tries to "superman punch" the beast.
Chuck rushes in and claws the beast.
The beast grapples Reece
Christian runs in and disintegrates the ground beneath the beast, sending the beast and Reece down a 5' hole.
Lynx takes on the form of the beast to try and confuse it.
Reece fly's up carrying the beast with him.
Everyone has a double take, as the beast just shot up into the air past them, and then was also on the ground beside them!
The beast then tried to attack Reece and got dropped for the troubles, sending it plummeting down to earth in a shocking THUNK.
The beast is dead
The beast then swelled and exploded showering Chuck, Christian and Lynx in blood, guts and skin, causing them some minor damage.
There then is nothing left but a few burning bits of torn flesh.
Who or what this thing was is no gone, and it seems you will never know.
Lynx then tags the park tarmac.
The team realise they are near the Church of St Jude, which Lynx thought was obvious forgettign the rest of them are not from Ibadan.
As Chuck drives up and carefully parks this time, Father Thomas comes rushing out in a panic
“You have to come quick, the hell spawn is attacking the kids!”
When the team arrive around the back of the they find the “Playground” behind the church a mess, the jungle gym little more then a pile of broken poles and twisted metal. A few kids lay crying on the ground, Father Thomas rushing from one to the next to see if they are badly hurt.
“Mostly bumps and bruises,” He says with some relief on his face. “The beast left a few moments ago, heading up the block” Thomas says as he returns to the group of the street kids around him.
The team see that the fence at the back had been smashed apart, another one is one the rampage!
The team head off to find the attacker. It’s not hard to find the beast; overturned cars and broken street lamps litter the street. Soon enough the team spy the monster, another mutated person. It’s hard to tell now if it was a man or a woman. The thing is lifting a car over its head and threw it onto the roof of one the houses!
Time to get jiggy with team Pilates.
Before someone gets seriously hurt.
With a few punches and grapples the beast dies quickly and then explodes over Chuck and Reece.
The team then head back to the church to quiz the Father over these beasts, Chuck is convinced that the Farther is hiding something so they search the Church.
The only room locked is the vestry, which they call Father Thomas to unlock it, he is a bit flustered over this.
So as Christian tries to persuade him, Lynx at that moment takes on the form of Jesus Christ!!
Father Thomas loses his shit, banging on about the end times, the apocalypse and the second coming of the lord, Hell on earth, the reckoning.
Christian calmly takes his hand and guides it into the lock to unlock the vestry.
They search the vestry and just find the crates of red wine and boxes of rice wafers.
They then use the Fathers bathroom to wash off the blood from themselves and head out to find this Max.
The team head into the TV repair shop, Lynx in full Camouflage mode and interrogate Max.
“Look I don't know anything about this Blue Number 2!” Says Max. “I'm just a middle man, a fence ya know. I don't sell drugs,” Max offers as a defense.
“OK, OK! I'll tell ya what I know,” Max offers finally.
Getting himself together he takes a deep breath. “Like I told ya I don't sell drugs, no one in my crew does, the boss don't like them and he don't sell them. Still I hear things ya know. This blue stuff, number two, its just the first wave man. The first version turn folks into zombies, the second into monsters. I heard though a third version is hitting the street, Blue Number 3.”
Christian asks who is selling the stuff, who's making it.
“That I can't say,” Max replies. Chuck raises aa clawed hand. “Hey! Calm down, I can't say because I don't know, no one does.”
All I do know is there is a new outfit setting up shop in a South side warehouse.
The team leave the shop, leaving Lynx in camo in the shop, who overhears Max talking to his boss.
"Hey yer, some masked empowered freaks just busted me up, looking for those Blue drugs."
"Yer I know we don't sell em, but I sent them over to the South Side Warehouse."
"Yer, either way that's one problem off our streets"
Lynx makes his escape via a distraction on breaking the window, and meets with the team.
The team charge back into the shop, demanding to know who his boss is and why they are being set up.
On quizzing further on who the boss is, Max eventually lets out a pitiful cry of "Luciano."
"look I ain't setting you up, but we want those drug peddlers off our turf, you want em, we want em, win win"
With more prodding Max gives up that Luciano is a short man with a deformed left hand.
Chuck slices his ear with his claw, Lynx transforms into an exact replica of him, while Christian states it would be easy just to replace you, see no one would even know you were gone!
The team then leave to search for this South Side Warehouse.........
