[Sunkiller] V for Val(or).

OOC: Something Big(ish) to try and get this fired back up.

Weeks pass and school falls into a 'normal' pattern, for values of normal. Val finds that he classes are challenging but not insurmountable. Phys Ed is particularly rewarding..and difficult with Valerie quickly rising to the top of class.

Just after lunch on an otherwise calm day Val's comm-link barks in her ear. The voice is unmistakeably one Jason Moon Hightower aka Tower.

"Need help...bad..", the transmission ended there.

[Sunkiller] V for Val(or).

It had been a challenging afternoon for Val, in a lot of ways she was ahead of a lot of the students since she had been pretty much tutored since she was six by grad students and people working on this or that degree while they tried to unravel her kinked DNA. Except for the truly epically smart, which there were many at the school. She felt a bit odd at times, given that in a lot of ways 'Supers High' was not anything like the school she'd seen in TV shows.

There were the geeks, the freaks, the jocks, the hip chicks and the rest of the cliches from the movies and tv shows, only most of these folks had that little something extra.  Or a lot of something like she did.  One of the things that came up as she learned her physical limits were that they were pretty damn high. Some days the PE teacher couldn't seem to find something challenging, then the next he'd have something that would stop her in her tracks. It was kinda awesome actually, she'd learned more about controlling her strength in the last few weeks than she'd done since she'd come into her powers.

Needless to say she hadn't expected to hear Tower's voice in her ear asking for help. While she'd enjoyed teasing him about the attack in the mall, they both knew that wasn't the way things usually went in a fight when he was involved and he sounded rough over the ear bud.

"Tower where are you at? I'll come and get you." Val said, not thinking about fighting but getting him clear. Blond she might be but she DID listen to her mentor and he steadfastly didn't want her 'side kicking'.

Only silence comes from the comm-link and Val's mind rushes back to the briefing she was given on just how much force was necessary to take one of the Myth-tech devices offline.

Just as the frustration was setting in Joey "Whisper" Ashefarber jolted nearly out of his seat and grabbed his ultra-sensative ears. Joey was an ubernerd but had nonetheless made an effort to befriend the statuesque Valerie seemingly unfazed by her looks.

"I can hear them fighting Val. Major impacts in downtown...I've never felt pressure like that.", He quickly slipped his safety earbuds in.

"Thanks, I'll need you to call it in. I got to see if Tower needs a hospital drop. Anything that has him calling for me to come help can't be good and I did promise 'coach' no hijinks.  Call me if you get any reports while I'm en route, I don't want to fly in a war zone."

Val waved  as she dashed out and took off heading for downtown. She'd done more than a little study on the events that had occurred over the years. Not wanting to go thru  that sort of thing she had listened to Tower and didn't go looking for trouble.

"Wonder what hit him so hard to knock him offline so quickly?" She liked Tower.

At 250 mph it didn't take long for Val to reach the outskirts of downtown. Her recent training had prepared her to look for certain things and she saw most of them now. People were streaming out of the area around the towering buildings and APD was setting up barricades to keep the inevitable oblivious motorists from driving in anyway.

[At this point you should decide, if you haven't already, what Val's "super suit" looks like]

She could see officers struggling to keep things moving safely at the edges of the downtown area.

Val took in the panic, that wasn't a good sign. When she'd met Tower, she'd fought a trio of thugs that had the ability to chop up cars (and heroes) and the mall's food court barely cleared for the fight, of course three rednecks with mythic powered forestry tools wasn't too high on the list of 'kaju' level panic.

Whatever did this was, however, very high on that list but not tip top. No buildings were collapsing (yet). She landed by the police check point feeling a bit.. 'cosplayish' in her workout suit. It was a mostly black and looked like something an athlete in the olympics might wear. If Underarmor made body suits. She weakened the 'costume' look with a pair of work boots, a t-shirt (todays was a 'wibbly wobbly/timey whimey' Tardis t-shirt in blue), an old 'bomber' style jacket and took off her goggles. The Jacket and goggles were her concession to the twin banes of flight.. chill and bugs. A junebug in the eye at 250 mph might not kill her, but dam it hurt.

"Hello.. I'm Val Dobson, I got a call from Tower that he needed help then his 'link cut out. I have instructions to help out the authorities but not to go out and do 'damn heroics' unless it's end of the world-ish. So, I was wondering if you guys needed help evaccing folks and maybe knew where my mentor was?" Val said sheepishly.

The APD officer, his name tag says "Hennig", never stops doing his job but Val can see some level of relief on his face at her arrival.

"He's in there.." He gestures further into downtown,"..and there are at least three hostiles. Radio chatter says they are all moving at parahuman speed but no word on how."
