((OOC: It's totally fine; don't worry about it.))
The boy looked up and flashed a grin along with a wink. "Well thanks, pretty lady, you can call me Jolt." At first he was getting annoyed trying to find her, but her good looks quickly changed his mind. "Now come on Chickadee, I gotta help my bro and according to your lil' costume get-up you probably have some moves yourself. You can help. " He grabbed her by the wrist and started running, running toward a more violent scene.
Indoors, Shockwave had just been thrown against a fragile wall, shards of wood flying upward as he crashed. Looking up he noticed a small blur of a being that didn't seem to be the Creeper in another room.
"He threw me this way so that must mean he must be hiding the scientists and the experiments down there... And back there! Was that the dragon like creature Jolt and I were supposed to catch last week?" Wincing, he got up to take another look at Creeper. "Did that cut just get smaller?", he thought, noticing that the wound he gave Creeper earlier seemed to have shrunken "Oh shoot, he can HEAL?!". He had to think of a plan fast; he looked up and saw water pipes. As much as he disliked his current plan and as much as he knew his brother would return soon, he decided to go with it.
The plan? Break all the water pipes until the floor was soaked and turn the entire floor into his own personal weapon. However, he did not want to make his plan obvious. he got up, still shaking from the last blow and tried to smile. He started to slowly maneuver himself around the room.
"S-say... How about we just talk about our dilemma over a cup of Earl Grey. Sit by a fire, not kill each other?"

Krepta hissed. Well, two against one. She might as well even the odds. No one would have to know she came from the building though. There had been enough odd creatures lately that hopefully they would assume she was just another one. Growling to herself in barely constrained anger, she bolted back down the hallway and out down a side door. Leaping over the rusty fence, she made her way down the side-walk back to the front of the complex where she hopped the fence again. And then she charged, head down. She knew her own strength, and while the event would probably be terrifying for whoever she hit, it wasn't likely to kill them. She aimed to toss one of the kids into the air with her head. Beyond that shot was a thick wooden desk. It would hurt, but it was far better for breaking one's fall than one might think. Wood was bendable, breakable, and would take most of the force of the kinetic energy building up. She roared and made her move, swinging her head towards Shockwave in what she hoped was a surprise attack. These kids did not know who they were dealing with. She hadn't come this far just to have everything ruined by a bunch of punk as rookies.

Shockwave continued to take down nearby water pipes, letting them leak puddles onto the floor; oddly enough, however, he seemed to be avoiding touching them at all. Almost as if he was scared of it.
As Shockwave was fighting Creeper; Jolt stood by Canary, but he felt strange. The ground almost seem to rumble.
"Hey... Chikadee, do you feel that?" looking up he yelped in surprise, shoving Canary out of the way and getting flipped over by what appeared to be some kind of unhuman creature. Groaning in pain, he got up from the floor and looked up.
Rumors had been spreading about creatures appearing all over the world; maybe this had even been the one that he and his brother were sent to capture just last week. Possibly even a reason that was deterring the boys from finding the scientists.
"You know, I never did like that dragon in Sleeping Beauty. But don't worry Chikadee; Jolt shall be your knight in armor!" he grinned, facing the dragon. "So how do you like your lizard? Medium or well done?" he asked Canary, charging up an electrical ball of energy in one hand and wiping blood off of his pavement-scraped cheek with his other.

(I'm gonna wait until Krepta posts again to clarify. Also, I didn't get a chance to reply to Shockwave. D'''

(( She's coming back around through the front. Basically, she's headed back through the complex to the hallway she left, but at a different angle. Sorry, I was sugar lowing when I wrote it. XD
Also, I think it's a good idea if we establish a posting order. Let's not skip anyone within the day. If it takes more than two days for someone to reply, then go ahead and post, otherwise, wait for a post or permission. ))
Krepta growled, leaping over Jolt. The other one was obviously the leader, and training had always taught her to take out the leader and the others would follow. Still, she kicked some rubble Jolt's way in passing in hopes that one might hit him and knock him out of commission. She didn't like this electricity thing, and wanted to end the situation as quickly as possible. Rounding the bend, she came up the hallway behind Shockwave, claws skittering on the slick floor and allowed her momentum to carry her to him. If she hit, he would certainly be feeling it in the morning, but that was a risk he had taken coming into her place of refuge. If he had power over electricity, then water on the floor was not good. She wasn't sure why an old building like this still had water in it's pipes, but that was hardly the point. "Watch your feet, Creeper," she snarled as she barreled forward.

(( I think it's been going me, you, creeper, then canary when we don't skip, so I think we'll continue from there? Though, we want to give creeper a chance to reply to shockwave, so maybe me, creeper, you, and then canary is better? ))

(I like Krepta, Creeper, Bros, then Canary best. C: Mostly because at the moment Canary is only interacting with one character. Thanks for clearing things up, Krepta~)
Creeper had just finished moving the bookshelf in front of the door when Shockwave had gotten up. He turned, looking at the teen as he began to move. THe look on his face was obviously hiding something. Creeper didn't have that much experience with electric enemies, but he could tell when someone had something up their sleeve. He just didn't know what. His keen ear, however, picked up on the shuffling from Krepta's direction. He tried not to show any emotion other than what would be relative to his fight with Shockwave, but he was curious.
"All I told you to do was leave, and then you try to punch me. And now you stab me in the chest? Kid, you have a good way of 'talking'." He saw out of the corner of his eye Krepta coming around the front. "... You know. I'd ask you who you're working with, but I don't think there's time." Just as he finished that sentence, he let out a cackle and jumped ten feet up, grabbing onto the grating above. It was like watching a cat jump to a shelf. Agile, quick, and simple.

"Aw, come on!" Jolt shouted in an irritated fashion as he saw Krepta leap gracefully over him, only groaning more when he saw flying rubble coming his way. One chunk of debri managed to hit him in the shoulder, but he was more concerned about the rubble headed towards Canary. "Chikadee, look out!"
Back inside, Shockwave chuckled sheepishly and replied "Alright, so I didn't analyze the situation properly... Uh... I'm from Canada?" which was an excuse his brother usually used to try and get out of bad situations.
"Wait, what do you mean by time?"
When he saw Creeper jump up, he blunk and spun around.
Oh snap.
The teen's cheek was badly cut as Krepta charged toward him, but he had managed to move out of the way for the most part. He had rolled to his left and decided now was the best time to pull out his plan. The pipes in the building didn't have much except for rain water that had somehow leaked in throughout the years so he was sure that many patches of the floor were still dry; he simply hoped there would be enough to conduct a current great enough to at least stun Krepta.
"So, you brought a dragon to help you fight a teenage boy? Well, I guess we're even on the bad 'talking' techniques." Shockwave stated with a very typical, teenage, sarcastic tone. Raising his hands up, he charged as much electricity as he could into his palms, then threw his hands into a puddle below. Yet even though his plan seemed so well thought out, his face looked discomforted for some reason.

(Sorry! We’re having some bad storms here and the power has been on and off. Again, I’m so sorry!!!) Being called pretty caught Canary off guard and she blushed at the compliment. Not even realizing what he had said to her, she let herself be taken into the commotion. The rumbling under her feet had caused her to go on alert until she was pushed away and knocked off balance. Looking down where Jolt had fallen, a big creature caught her eye. Krepta looks so much like the little Dragons she's seen around Gotham. ‘Maybe she knows!’ Canary didn’t get a chance to ask her as she sent ruble towards her and Jolt. Heeding Jolt’s warning, Canary dodged the oncoming ruble by flipping out of the way. ‘Maybe these will slow her down!’, Canary thought as she threw her flash grenades toward Krepta. Turning toward Jolt, Canary smiled and said, “Let’s go get that brother of yours!”

(( Actually, again she's not trying to use her claws. XD She's been trying to use her head. I was just carrying it through since there was no response to it last time. And it's alright, Canary. Real life comes first! Stay safe! ))

Krepta glanced toward Creeper to make sure he was out of range of the shock. While she could tolerate such a thing, she wasn't sure how much juice the other super could take. She had missed Shockwave, but at least her fellow in arms was out of the way. As she turned back to confront the boy, suddenly every nerve was on fire. The dragon howled in pain and curled up as her muscles convulsed, pulling her forcefully into a tight, spasmodic ball. While it wasn't enough to shut the shapeshifter down, and she was protected from burns, it didn't stop the attack from sending her through waves of utter agony. Being electrocuted was not a fun experience. The ex-hero thundered to the ground in a twitching heap, then was still for a moment as she recovered. All she knew is that she was hurting, and it was this little punk's fault. Seizing control of her body once more, the big red reptile struggled to her feet, jaws gaping as she wheezed. Parts of her were still spasming, including her lungs. Now she was mad. Heaving herself off the floor and into the little space between the ceiling and the soaked concrete, she launched at Shockwave with an enraged roar. The walls shook and the windows rattled with the ear shattering sound. There was white hot rage in those primeval green eyes, and it's target was Shockwave.
As some odd tons of angry dragon bore down on the villain, Krepta decided she was done playing nice with this punk and his croonies. She had no plans to kill him, but she certainly had no qualms against breaking limbs at this point. Maybe a broken leg or two would teach this brat to pick on meta-human's his own size.

Creeper needed to stop this. He had luckily been off the ground when Shockwave launched his attack, but he seriously needed to end the fight quickly. He swung across the grating swiftly, feet landing with evenly placed taps against the metal. He had just about gotten to Shockwave when Krepta shouted. Now that was a sound that could compete with even his laughter. He hoped to get some information out of the kid and his brother, who he had now become aware of again.
Twins were always tricky. He had fought against clones of the Wonder Twins at one point. Not fun in the slightest. But at least these two were just about the same when it came to abilities.
•If Krepta's hit landed, Creeper would wait until there was a clear spot to get in between them, then reach to pull Shockwave away while saying to Krepta, "Alright. I think that's enough for him."
•If Krepta's hit didn't land, Creeper would still try and make a move to get in between them, and try to stop them both before another attack happened by shouting, "Enough!" He'd also reach to grab Shockwave's collar.
•Either way, Creeper would immediately and forcefully ask Shockwave, "Who the hell are you working for, and what the hell do they want with this one and all the other dragons?!"
(offering separate outcomes because things are getting a little action-heavy. Not sure what'll happen, but I want to make sure that my character has a full open and closed turn in the fight. C: Lemme know if it's too confusing, and I'll try something else next turn to complete an action)

Wincing as Creeper pulled him in, Shockwave looked up, determined to keep his mouth shut. Unfortunately, his brother wasn't exactly used to interrogation and immediately started to panic. Almost completely forgetting Canary and the situation at hand, Jolt belted out.
"Alex! You let my brother go right now or I swear I'll kill the dragon!" Jolt raised his hand, preparing to electrocute Krepta at any second. "STOP. Brother, you're only making things worse right now. You just gave the enemy my first name and you're making a bad move."
Jolt looked up at his elder twin, and reluctantly lowered his hand, eyes planted onto the ground. He wasn't sure what to do, usually it was Alex saving the day and coming up with a plan. This time, now that Shockwave was the one who needed saving, Jolt had no clue what was right. He turned towards Canary with a desperate look on his face before continuing.
"I-if I tell you who we're working for... W-will you let go of Alex?" "Jolt, don't you DARE!" Shockwave struggled in Creepers grasp and screamed more, yelling out to Jolt repeatedly. Jolt, of course, ignored him and kept talking. "We work for The Light. We're a new group of young heroes that The Light is putting together because they told us the League has gone of the right path. Recently our mission has been to capture these dragons as well as protect current experiments."
