<Cobalt's smiling face suddenly changes in front of them all, transforming into a cold, almost mean stare>
I'm not going to let you arrest us today, Inquisitor.
<magnetically yanks Roy's saber away, sending it hurling down the alley>
Let me be clear: many of my fellow LMBers believe you deserve a second chance on Legion World. I do not.
I witnessed you murder a sentient right in front of my eyes. To me, you will always be a murderous piece of garbage to be taken down like all the other infiltrators on Legion World. So walk around with your badge and take comfort in your authority all you want; I will not recognize it.
Once before, long ago, you tried to act as the security of Legion World. And with Fat Cramer, I gave you a beating I know you haven't forgotten.
Now stand down, or get it again.

<Roy is stunned by the words, which rip deep into his soul>
H-How dare you? You arrogant, contemptuous knave. You think you answer to nothing but yourself, but you are wrong.
I will arrest you all, or die trying!
<Roy gets into fighting position; after being unnerved however it triggers a physical change to him, causing the artificial treatment for his burned face to one more stop working, and his face slowly begins returning to it's scarred form>
"Don't do this Roy...you have no chance against us and you have to know that."
He crouches ready to move at Cobies signal...hoping that this can be avoided.
"We need to do something fast boss, we're too exposed right now and the longer we're in one spot...the worse it is."

<magnetically, the saber comes flying back up the alley, cracking Roy in the back of the head, buffaloing him and knocking him out cold>
There, that will be us some time, he'll be out for hours. I'll move his body over here where he won't be found. We can't waste much more time and have to keep moving.
<with Power Boy now in tow, they continue to slip through the back streets...>

Hope you didn't think that was too rough. Felt like it was the quickest solution less the two of us had to get really rough.

Furball kept pace with the others. things were not going as he had thought they would, but they weren't that bad yet either to be honest. Furball motioned to a building to the right and they all entered.
"We'll be okay here for a while."
Furball sat back in the shadows watching the doors while the others got a little rest in one of the back rooms.
He felt bad about what he had done to Dev and Lardy, but that too was necessary if what Cobie thought was happening was.
It wouldn't be the first time he had gone against his brother, and it probably wouldn't be the last. Hell, he had told Cobie about his actual nature years before Dev...and telling Dev was only because he had run across him in human form at his quarters. He hadn't really known how to tell Dev that he was him...with a twist. He had never had a childhood to speak of...just a lot of tests after coming to consciousness in the lab. His "mother" was not exactly very nutering...but she hadn't counted on him retaining Devs memories up until the point she took the samples. That kept him grounded no matter what she had done to him.
Dev seeing him was just one of those things that was really hard to explain..."hey, I'm you...only younger, with hair and a slightly different power set." His shape changing ability was limited to his larger furrier form and a human form that retained some bizarre wolfen like appearances. A set of teeth with fangs, ears that were smaller than Devs' but with a more distinct point to them.
Telling Cobie about it was something that he felt he had to do. He had grown weary of being the mascot to the group, and since Des was Security Chief at the time, he figured an unknown agent would be benifical...and boy was it. It had been shortly after the establichment of Legiuon World that they began their missions. Furballs absence amongst the group was just attributed to his seemingly beastial nature...nobody thought twice about it if he was gone for a month at a time. Sure, Dev worried once and a while, but that was usually negated by something else that happened soon afterwards. More than likely the fallout of whatever assignment he had been on that Cobie would send Dev to clean up.
Furball was the closest friend that nobody knew Des had. That aspect of it was gone now, but they had both decided that this one was too big to keep certian charades going. Besides, people were starting to notice things. Candice, bless her heart, had apparently known for a while and never said a word to anyone. Lardy suspected something...but could never seem to stay focused long enough to prove it. Then there were Devs' kids. They both knew...but kids are observant in ways that adults aren't. It was part of why he loved his niece and nephew so much...they treated it like a game, and they were good at it.
There were others that suspected something was going on, and he had to avoid Shark Lad during one assignment...and that nearly caused the destruction of a planet that eshall remain nameless as to not upset anyone on Legion World.
He wondered, as they rounded another corner, how things would shake out after this assignment. His Legion World cover was blown at this point, but that was something that they had anticipated for...I mean they were actually surprised that they had gotten away with it for this long.

Power Boy steps over the threshold .... leather boots making a crunching noise on the dust.

"If it comes down to a civil war, things could get very messy. All the money coming in to the Security Office is going to purchase weapons," Question Kid commented.

That's very alarming. It's either Lardy, going a step further than I ever though possible, or something far more sinister.
Our next stop is still a few blocks away so we need to pick up the pace. It's up the hill here...
