"Don't worry about it," Harry says jovially, "No harm done. Besides, Skeeter here reminds me of my friends growing up."
"As for going, well, we're just waiting on a friend to show up. Short guy, french accent?" Harry asks then glances out the window, "No idea why he was out this way, think somebody gave him a bum steer. You know how people like to play tricks on foreigners. He said he'd swing by here, and to be honest a part of me hopes he makes it quick."
He leans over conspiratorially, "I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think you've got the right idea. Somethings going on out on the streets. There was nobody in sight for blocks before we got here. Kind of spooky."
"You're all locals, right? We get ourselves in the middle of something or is that normal?"
"You might not know it, on account a' bein' a foreigner..." one guy responds. "But Mega-City has a whole lot a' street activity from... upwardly-mobile youths such as ourselves." it occurs to you that despite their redneck accents (some of which aren't that convincing), none of these people look much older than 21. "And it ain't safe to be stickin' your NOSES OUT in the DARK!"

"Sacrebleu! You attack moi because you think mes amis and I work for ze ninjas? Que dois-je faire?" he says probably not sounding all that frightened.
"Hang in there, Hercule." Semilla says into active comms. "Standby team coming to your location."
"Bar team, up to you whether you come to Herc's location or not. If you think you're getting good info or, I guess they call it 'intel' when it's, like, official, then feel free to keep chatting the locals, we'll radio if we're in over our heads. Try not getting in any fights if possible. It'd suck to have two different fights going on at the same time." Semilla chides.
All this coordination seems to spur her into action.
OOC: So Jab, Slyce is going to try to make a Batman entrance into the bar by stealthing in through the front door while everyone is focused on Mustang and Shield getting into it with the dude at the bar. If he succeeds, he’ll just sit at a table fairly close to the door and wait for the next round to make his presence known with a smart ass statement that hopefully gets a “holy crap, where did that guy come from?” response.
If he fails, he’ll just come back with some snappy “what up fellas, just looking to whet my whistle, don’t mind the big black dude dressed in all black, he certainly blends in here…” patter.
Hearing things starting to get testy in the bar, Slyce called on his convert ops experience and slipped up to the door like a shadow. Gametime, the former football star thinks as he tries to get into the bar unnoticed…

Adrien prepares himself for the coming attacks, but takes no offensive action. He crosses his hands in front of his face, hoping he looks scared, but actually to activate the radio's send-unit pinned to his cuff.
"Sacrebleu! You attack moi because you think mes amis and I work for ze ninjas? Que dois-je faire?" he says probably not sounding all that frightened.

"The Leader fires a shot from his shotgun at you, hitting dead center" (total of "19" to hit, for DC 21 Damage)
The other three spend the turn grabbing baseball bats and large boards, preparing to go on the rampage immediately. Everyone naturally assumes the shotgun blast will finish you.

With a simple act of will, Ariana creates a large box with various chairs formed from silver energy, ready to go. "Anyone in need of a lift so we can get their faster climb aboard. Word of warning, I will put a transparent dome up before moving as I'm going just under Mach 1 for this."
OOC: Just assume she flies them to Hercules location once everyone who wants a lift climbs aboard.

MUSTANG
HP- 0 condition-BAR FIGHT!
Todd's hand was a blur as he grabbed the disrespectful moron and,holding him up by one hand like a dart,threw him towards his buddies with the boards....
The (currently) vibrant red alien warrior looked equal parts disappointed at the prospect of not getting to try a "taw-co" right now, and happy something is finally happening. Ultimately, she can bug Sawyer to bring her for "taw-cos" later, so for now, it is time to layeth the smack down!
K'lara eagers hops into construct, but foregoes the seat, eagerly leaning at the front edge, keeping her eyes open out front.

"Hang in there, Herc---"BLAM!!"--am coming to your location." Adrien missed the middle part of what Semilla was saying.
Adrien is knocked off his feet by the shotgun blast, landing prone (D&P:2) on his back, as the blast puts a sizeable hole in his shirt. His chest underneath looks unscathed.
"Eye?" he says questioningly.
OOC: He had meant "aïe", which is French for "ow", but given that he was asking it and not meaning it, the actual meaning would probably be lost.

Doctor Mercury starts to come to Adrien's aid when the radio call goes out. Twelve hundredths of a second later, she reconsiders. It doesn't sound like he's in that much trouble. Semilla already said the standby team would call if they needed more help. And really, how many of them would it take to handle a roomful of hillbillies?
Not even real hillbillies, either. Pretend hillbillies!
She walks into the barn and has a look around, instead.
[OOC: Doctor Mercury isn't trained in Investigation, but she has low light vision and she can take inventory of the barn's contents sixty times faster than an ordinary person. Unless another team member calls for help, she'll take this opportunity to inspect the gang's home turf while they have other things to worry about.]

SLYCE
HP: 1; Condition: Fine; Initiative: 22
Damn, this is escalating just like I thought, Slyce thinks as he flaps his leather coat behind him and takes a seat at a table not too far from where Mustang and Shield are being confronted. He leans back in the chair with his arms folded behind his head, taking in the scene of the advancing Hillbilly Gang members moving in on the two guys that seem to have drawn the ire of the Hillbillies.
They definitely look like the type of dudes Hugh would have recruited. Let's see what they got...
OOC: Slyce is holding his action.

Mustang, the guy you've Intimidated, Redneck A, is now shaken. You also Daze & Bruise him (-1 Toughness)
However, Redneck D has his move next, and takes a swing at you- 9 + 5 to hit... misses. You dodge or block his shot .
Redneck C instead decides to attack The Shield, going for 12 +5, which isn't enough to hit either, even without your shield (crap, who's holding it again?)
(Edit: Never mind- he actually hits. DC 19 damage!)
