Display Name: THE RESISTANCE
Profile Photo: A picture of Fantastic with a red circle with the line through it and dripping with blood for good measure
Notes: Terrorism though it's stopped

All your favorite social media sites have a new livestream posted to them at the same time. It starts by showing a group of hostages, bound gagged and terrified, then the camera turns around to show a woman in a face-covering spandex suit. Those who follow supervillain activity or Fantastic's exploits might recognize her as Flashstep, who has mostly been involved in attempted heists, using her teleportation powers to get past security and befuddle her non-powered opponents, but Fantastic has always stopped her.

She's usually been taunting and almost flirty in the past, but when she starts talking, her voice is unusually cold. She says that fun time is over, if the people are going to accept Fantastic, then they all deserve to die. She moves, leaving the building, a nondescript office, continuing to rant, as the wind picks up and suddenly Fantastic shows up, grabbing her before she can do anything. He wrenches the camera and a detonator out of her hands and, from what can be seen from the camera's new vantage point on the ground, roughs her up and puts her in handcuffs.

Then he picks up the camera and solemnly addresses it. He says that he understands people are upset, but that violence against innocents is unacceptable. He asks, almost pleadingly, that if anyone has a problem with him, they face him themselves and leave others out of it. With that, he turns off the camera.

Don't know. Magic? A psychic impression? Whatever it is, it's got range and specific triggers. They're making an effort in hiding too.

I'll try. Problem is I can't be with you 24/7. Until we get something to break this spell or whatever, it might have to be a lot of monitoring instead.
robintohood: (And perfection)

Multiple trackers and I won't tell you where they are in case whoever's behind this is somehow watching. And yeah. You'll definitely have to stick to known places.

Faking a death takes a lot of work actually. You need to fake a lot of documents and make sure everyone can keep the story straight. Disappearing in a Confluence might be easier because of how sudden those are.

Yeah, I can do that. And yeah, until we get this all straightened out, you're hiding. Sorry this isn't gonna be a five-star hotel experience.

This is purely temporary and you know it.
