OCC: Going to continue using orange for character that is not my screenname)
Red Arrow stayed by Chief Lardy's side during most of this. She knew her power level was weak and would be a liability in battle. So she did what she could "on the home front". She was very bitter, because the super-hero community is similar to that of firefighters and police. It is very close-knit.
She said, "I have been doing my best, and I will continue to do my best. I'm not really afraid for myself, the Soul Gem tells me everything is going to be alright. But I love this team like a family and will do whatever it takes for it to remain so." What other options do I really have if we lose? Go to my Sivana relatives...and I know they are aware of my prescence...and become a criminal? Spend most of my life on the run or in a glass box? No. I refuse to become evil.

"I am sorry for being so useless to you sir," Red Arrow said. She had just initiated the protocols but still felt a bit overwelmed. "But I am trying my best. What we are facing is magic-based and I happen to be pretty good at science when I have to do it."

<blearily> Mm? Oh, Hi, Dev. Coulda sworn Emily was here...must be these muscle relaxers they got me on. Pretty...good stuff.
Anyhow, they say this may get better with time...or never improve. They've no frickin' idea. Guess the Bee's toxin is kinda unresearched, y'know?
They say if I exert myself, I risk permanently damaging myself, maybe even dying. No big deal, anyway...not as if I could do anything anyway, unless... <remembers his Mark II exo-armor prototype> ...um, yeah. Nothin' I could do anyways.
<covers what he's thinking from Dev--he's now determined to use it but knows his fellow LMBers would oppose because of doctor's orders>
So, uh, any progress?

"Nothing concrete. We have a plan though to bring Red Bee to us."
Dev decides not to say anything about what they have learned about Zardi's involvement.
"I'm really sorry about Sir Roy. I wish we could have gotten there sooner and done something more to save him. I'm honestly surprised we didn't loose anyone else..." Dev's voice trails off and he turns to the window. He lifts his left hand to his neck and starts to rub it. "I'm loosing everything..." he says barely audible.

Yeah, poor Roy...died a hero though. Worse ways to go. Gods, I wonder if anyone's told Quis? He and Roy were...close...at one time.
The Bee...he told me it was him who shot me! Can you believe it? If not for him, I'd still have my Lard Force...and not possibly facing life as a cripple.

Dev composes himself, glad that Lardy is too drugged right now to be too aware of his near breakdown.
This is too much at once. He thinks.
"Anthony, I have to go and see a few of the others before I head back. See how they are faring." He moves to Lardy's side. "I'll make sure that S.O.B. goes down."
Dev turns to leave the room. "Take care of yourself in case I don;t see you for a while," he says as he walks out of the room.
