Looking for a Side-Kick (Open to Heroes)

Finally, as JaK chipped away at the pillar until there was barely anything left Toji would arrive. Toji was a pretty strong metahuman/demon and one of the new recruits Lance had brought a long. He would be able to hold his own against Lobo even if he didn't know how strong and dangerous the guy really was. Which was good, because that meant JaK wouldn't have to worry about protecting him and could finish his work. Also, he might be able to survive the collapsing second floor or be quick enough to get out of dodge. However, just when JaK would give the pillar one last shattering punch the light in the building would go out.

"NOoO!!"

Is all Sage could say as he looked about and his face was dimmed into complete darkness. At the same time the floor above them began collapsing. The sounds of crumbling rocks being heard all about. Hopefully Fear could harden this dark dome she made into a shield to stop the incoming debris that or this simple game of hide & go seek just got 10 times more dangerous. For concrete, metal, and eveything else on the scond floor just above the group was about to crush anything below it. Including Toji if he wasn't able to get out of there. Originally JaK thought Alyss to, but he didn't know of course she could sense things in the dark and hopefully his original target Lobo. Also he hismelf could no longer escape the area in time because he would have no idea where to go. This chick had coincidentally completely screwed up his rather already dangerous and risky plan. To be fair, though, she didn't know he was doing it. In anycase JaK tried to make a dash for the exit of the darkness all around him loud booms and thuds could be heard as falling large pieces of debris incased the immediate vicinity.

As JaK Sage ran around in the darkness that enshrouded him. He thought of how dumb this was, he couldn't even see his own two hands in front of him. Much less find Lobo or anyone else. Then something would then illuminate the darkness and come rushing at JaK at an ultra fast pace! His reflexes acting before he could even think of what it was and ducked the laser fire. The ball of plasma hitting something behind Sage and blowing it to bits, alerting him that it was indeed dangerous. A few more of them would then come rushing towards the teen as it would seem he had been targeted. Taking evasive action he ran and rolled below one, then as he got to his feet dived over another, but after/during that avoidance he caught a glimpse of where the energy blasts had been coming from. It was Lobo, JaK was sure of it. the glare from the weapon shortly illuminated his white pasty face just long enough for him to get a glimpse into his evil, sadistic, creepy eyes. However, this also distracted him causing JaK to take one of the shots in the shoulder, which immediately blew away that armored part of his body and seared the flesh underneath a bit. In addition to taking Sage off his feet with a groan of annoyance as he slid across the floor. While laying there grabbing his arm in a bit of pain, he would suddenly hear something else dropping towards him and quickly rolled to the left. Just barely avoiding another huge piece of debris that was about to crush the boy like a tin can.

"This is freakin crazy...Hey! Someone turn on the lights!"

As JaK rolled over and watched Toji answer his reply for some lighting. He saw Lobo get taken down and then in usual fashion get right back up again...

"This son of a B*tch doesn't give up..What do we have to do hit him with a vaporizing ray?"

But then as if Lobo was answering JaK's inquisition this time it would appear they just had to fight him tooth and nail and he would eventually get bored. As he got back up the alien expressed how he was no longer having fun fighting the Titans and dropped his business card before turning to leave.

"Are you kidding me!?!" You're jut done with us, really?!"

JaK would say as he got to one knee angrily, holding his now burnt and singed arm with one hand. If he wasn't injured he would've ran after him and decked Lobo in the face one last time just for good measure. He almost had the mind to have Toji chase him down and hold him so he could do just that, but seeing how powerful Lobo really was. Maybe it was a good idea to let him just leave. He hadn't killed any civilians and if he was willing to go of his own accord then stopping a useless fight was good enough for Sage. The teen signaling for Toji not to go after him with his hand and just beckoned him to come help JaK up. Sage was tired, unlike Toji, he didn't have boundless amounts of stamina. He was more human than most meta-humans.

JaK smiled as Toji helped him up and Sage dispelled his armor while looking at the boy. Hobbling over with Toji supporting him to where Lobo dropped his card and picked it up. Then looked around to try and find the Shadowmancer girl.

"Toji, you got it. In fact, I'll buy you a whole keg of root beer all on Will's dime."

"Don't worry about me Toji, I'll really be fine soon, and I'm not just trying to sound macho when I say that."

As JaK spoke he would point to his plasma burn, the cuts were already closing at a rapid rate. Within a few minutes a scab would be formed and then within 5 more it would fall off and after about 15 minutes in total it would be like he had never been touched.

"Happens with all my injuries, lets just say it's a parting gift from my dad."
