Spandex or Leather - The South Side Warehouse

After a little "chat" with Max, the team went back home to crash out and recover.

At 7am Sunday morning most of the house were awoken to a knocking at the door.

Gregor marches in handing an open mouthed Christian todays paper.


Reece and Christian enquire on who the fuck he is, why is he here and why did he just barge in.

Gregor responds that he has been sent by Ageas, to help the team become... better

You are making noise, making papers, pictures and all that, yes yes you do good work, but can be better, less messy.

"So much for our secret hideout - it seems every fucker knows where to find us" exclaims Christian.

"Well what the fuck can you do" snarls Reece.

Gregor, twitches his face a little, and suddenly the cushion Reece is holding disintegrates!

"Whoa what the fuck, I never had that power before" cry's Reece, "We don't have many possessions, lets not dissolve them now"

Christian feels odd, and not quite himself.

The effects ware off, and Gregor explains he can temporarily transfer powers from one person to another if they are willing.

With a new toy, Christian and Reece ask him to do it again, but the other way around, and instantly Christian feels stronger!

Chuck hearing noise and a new voice coming from inside the house, steams into the front room in full aggressive rage, and is only held back by Christian.

After a few introductions the team get down to business, not sure where Lynx has got off to, or if he is blended into being a couch or something.

Reading through the paper, they note that most of the paper is about their exploits!
Gregor expands on the Aegis story, explaining that Aegis is lead by Dave the Martian Pants Man, protector of Terra.

"Dave’s origin story is quite unusual as Empowered go – a drunken stupor and an alien device gave him “magic trousers”.

Becoming a hero immediately, he prevented a mugging, where he loudly declared that his name was “Martian Pants Man, protector of Terra”! Much as he disliked the name – preferring to be called Forethought – it stuck with him after that.

When he was abducted, he met several other Empowered individuals, each of whom had come to their powers more naturally. Even so, he was the one who stepped forward, willing to lead them through the various trials Harbinger had planned for them in the bubble universe known as the Training Ground.

Although the others hesitated at first, they eventually agreed that he was best-placed to lead them thanks to his instinctive grasp of tactics, unorthodox approaches to problems and willingness to face odds which looked hopeless without even blinking.

Martian Pants Man is one of the founding members of Aegis and, as its leader, was the leading voice behind opening their doors to anyone who was Empowered and needed somewhere to retreat."


The team decide to finish off at least one of the jobs on their plate: Investigate the clue to the Blue numbered drugs at the possible hub at The South Side Warehouse.

Heading over to a warehouse, they try to sneak a peak inside, but Chuck (Bonedidio) stumbled over the cerb and fell onto the window frame with  resounding thunk.

Gregor mentally distracts the forklift driver and he does not notice Chuck, who spots that the forklift driver has a machine gun!

The team has found the drug lab.

By the sounds of it Christian thinks there are 10s of people in the building.

Reece is ready by the goods entrance.

Christian is ready to disintegrate one of the windows, to gain silent entry.

Chuck is ready to, well be Chuck.

Gregor flexes in anticipation.

When suddenly the corrugated goods entrance starts to ascend!

Christian takes longer to disintegrate the whole window, and is almost spotted.

Best laid plans and all that!

Chuck steams through the disintegrated window looking to maul the forklift driver, but results in just combing his hair!

Reece flys into the warehouse, superman punching one of the forklift drivers sparko and then stealing his gun and taking to the air, raining fire from above.

The team are inside and start to see that most of the warehouse has been turned into a small drug factory, tables full of lab equipment, crates and barrels of chemicals.

There are 5 more thugs reaching for their machine guns, and four people turning into Purple Throbbing Monsters!

These four though seem to be in control of their minds, and not raging monsters like the last few mutants you have run into.

Massive battle ensues, with Reece killing a few thugs from above, before being KO'd by of of the many crates thrown at him by a few of the Purple Throbbing Monsters.

Another of the Purple Throbbing Monsters, runs at Chuck and the forklift, picking up Chuck, with the forklift driver and the forklift! and all got promptly thrown out of a window, killing the driver and sending Chuck rolling down the street.

Things went to shit fast, with the Purple Throbbing Monsters beating seven shades out of the team.

When Gregor steps up and starts hammering back on them, starting to turn the balance.

With some of the thugs getting KO'd or killed and some of the Purple Throbbing Monsters starting to be killed off, the rest of the Thugs try to make a run for it, but Chuck is having none of it, clawing and boning any and all that tried to escape. 

Note that these Purple Monsters do not seem to explode like the others and when beaten down only return to their human form.

Christian took a few blows for the team, to save Gregor and to give Chuck time to rouse Reece.

Reece then re-joined in and left a Jackson Pollock of one of the Thugs in the Wall.

Where Chuck then tried to top that by exposing one of the Thugs spine, deaf to their pitiful screams!

After healing and waking up the KO'd members of the team (at various points Reece and Gregor got KO'd), the team search the warehouse.

Finding loads of evidence, but before they could collect any of it, Reece and Chuck spot in the office a bomb, with a digital count down....
