Impossible Challenge 2009/01/25 	 Diamond Silver Spider Howl 1

Downtown
The downtown district, and above all famed York Boulevard, is an area of skyscrapers old and new and the jewel of the city where most of the real money is made. From the lower, older buildings like that of the Colonial Bay Chronicle to the height of the Corporate Tower, the district is alive with bustle through the day; while at night it is well lit by the light of ads and news reporting across the sides of the buildings, and the action is focused on a few clubs and other hotspots.

Silver Spider is settled quietly in a web hammock, reading the newspaper. "And without warning, the vile supervillain once again webbed me to my chair, leaving me an hour late for my deadline. Will no one stop this menace from threatening innocent reporters?"

Silver Spider sighs. "This guy is the biggest jerk in the world."

Diamond comes walking down the street. SHe is actually armored up at the moment, looking like a diamond statue rather than appearing as her usual teenage looking self. She is muttering under her breath and glances around as if she is a bit wary.

Silver Spider flicks her gaze down to Diamond. "Hey!" she says gently, lowering herself down on her webline. "Looking for something?"

Diamond turns and looks up and then over, "Hello, well more just being on guard. This challenge business, just to be on the safe side cause I did really piss off my last challenger." she chuckles just a little.

Silver Spider's eyes flick down at you. "Challenge business?" She says. "Oh...right. So you want to fight me for the right to beat the snot out of Impossible's crew, huh?" She says. "How did you get an invite?"

Diamond blinks and looks at her, "Um, I haven't issued any challenges, but I haven't turned down any. Didn't really get an invite, was walking by the high school the other day and some chick, from this metahuman merc group jumped out and attacked me, after I KO'd her, her boyfriend said he would be back to challenge me and he did, and I shattered his energy blade and pissed him off, making him flee."

Silver Spider shrugs quietly. "Right..." She says. "So do you want to fight me?" She winks an eyeslit. "Make no mistake. You'll get owned."

Diamond blinks a bit, "Well if I say no that would still count as a forfeit, and I am trying to do my best. why not if anything else, will be good exercise." she says as she looks back at Spider.

Silver Spider's eyeslits narrow. "Well, there you go...' She says coyly. "Challenge accepted. Bring it on, hotstuff. Loser has to give the winner her phone number..." She gives a head tilt, and says "Right out here in front of the chronicle, huh?" She says gently, and lands. "I'm even gonna be sporting, and stay on the ground." She drops into a three point combat stance. "Bring it on..."

Diamond cocks her head to the side, "You only had to ask for the number," she says and knows as she thinks to herself that she has to try her hardest, the guy doing this hurt people when someone didn't follow the rules so she is going to give it her all. Might as well lead off. She moves over and throws her strength behind a punch at Spider.

Diamond misses the faster woman.

Silver Spider whirls out of the way of Diamond's punch and steps inside her guard. "Too aggressive." She says. "You should have dropped a car on me. I'd have had to get out of the way of that. Good thing you don't have a glass jaw..." She rolls inside your guard and winds up with everything she has. "This might sting." Her hand charges up with blue green bioelectric energy.

There is a thunderous SKRAKK noise as Silver Spider's fist connects. o O (Oh, !@#$%#654!!!! Thought she was invulnerable) Silver Spider thinks. o O (Ow.)

Diamond blinks a bit as Spider gets inside her guard and slams into her with a powerful fist. Her diamond shell makes a slight crack sound but there is not much visible except a darkening where she was hit, and she looks obviously phased, but not as much as one might have expected her to be.

Silver Spider lifts a hand to Diamond, and the same blue-green bioelectricity charges up. "You know, I really didn't want the extra point from hurting you. Maybe I can make it up to you...you know...over dinner?" She says cheerfully as she lifts her hand, not closing the gap. o O (She's got phenomenal training, but she'd crush me if I'm not careful...Play to win, girl. It's your only chance to get Impossible to watch the tape) She fires off a blue green bolt of energy. "Come and get it, sweetie..."

Diamond manages to get to her feet, "Nice hit, have to say wasn't quite expecting that." The energy hits her but doesn't really seem to do much. She cocks her head to the side and seems to take a ready position.

Howl steps down from the MagLev to see Spider and Diamond fighting. "...What."

Silver Spider leaps forward. "Here I go!" She says as her hand crackles up with bioelectricity. "This hand of mine burns with an awesome power! It's blue green glow tells me to defeat you!" She cocks her fist back as she comes in for her swing. "I always wanted to say that..."

Silver Spider's fist slams into Diamond with a heavy crunch, bringing her fist into the woman's stomach. "I think I'm going to need new knuckles after this..." She manages as her fist connects. "You're tough to hurt..."

Diamond cracks her neck a bit, "I have been told that." she says softly, as she tried to unsuccessfully dodge that last one.

Silver Spider's other hand cocks back. "Did they tell you I have a ton of powers which will absolutely, positively never be able to do anything to you?" She says with a chuckle. "That's why I'm beating you down. Because the webbing won't hold you, and the poison won't affect you..." She winces. "I'm gonna have to fight my next battle with my feet, y'know..."

Diamond blinks and gets hit again, "I can't hit you and the blows do sting a bit."

Howl just shakes his head from the sidelines, but doesn't interfere. Figures this is one of those contest things.

Silver Spider winces. "Yeah, but if you hit me, I'm likely going to be spitting up my intestines..." She says cheerily. "And certainly not eating anything for a few days." She says. "Bring it on, Miss Thang...."

Diamond cocks her head to the side and decides to risk it, all or nothing. She pulls back and puts her all into it, she really can make through many more of those hits.

Silver Spider's eyes widen as the massive swing begins hurtling for her. "YIKES!" She howls. "Yikes! Yikes! Yikes!" She acrobatically flips under the punch.

Diamond decides to catch her breath for a moment, "You are fast." she mutters under her breath.

Silver Spider adds "Yeah. And I'm cute, too." She says. "I'm thinking about things I shouldn't though..." She says. "Sadly, I'm putting that off for a bit, because otherwise, you'll crush me..." She winks and lifts her hand, firing off another energy bolt. "Why waste time?"

Diamond gets hit again, but catching her breath seems to have revitalized her a bit.

Howl arches a brow at Silver Spider's words. "Huh."

Silver Spider's eyeslits narrow. "All that endurance and strength. You'll make a lot of people very happy." She giggles. "A whole lot of people at once, maybe..." She lifts her hand again. "I think I'm gonna have to tape my hands up, though..."

Silver Spider cocks back a fist and drives it forward. "Here we go againnnn..." She sings out loud. "Please, oh, please, fall over. If you give me your phone number, it looks soooo much better...." She drives her fist forward towards Diamond, strongly suspecting that she will not dodge, covered in blue green sparks...

Silver Spider winces as Diamond hits the ground with a thud. "Do...you yield..." She grits her teeth. "Because my hands can't take much more of that. Ow...ow...ow..." She shakes her head. "Do you...heal naturally, because I don't know if I can fix what I did to your jaw..."

Diamond doesn't repond as she is actually unconscious though she stirs a moment later and nods as she stands, "Yes, I do, I will be good as new in a few minutes."

Howl starts forward as soon as Diamond goes down. "That's enough." He says a little coldly to Spider.

Silver Spider nods a little bit. "That's one for me..." She mutters. "Great. Sorry about hurting you like that." She turns to look at Howl. "Scuse me...Impossible's rules are one a day. I can't break them, or I'm disqualified." She says. "If you want to fight either of us, you'll have to do it tomorrow."

Diamond turns and smiles as she cracks her head a bit and looks at Howl, "I am fine dear." she says softly and nods to Silver Spider, "Congrats, wish I could have just gotten a piece of ya, but you are too fast." she says and then doesn't even seem phased or winded as she loses the diamond shell. It seems to shimmer and ooze for a moment and then almost like absorbed into her skin leaving her normal. "See no harm." she says as she steps towards him.

Silver Spider Blinks. "Now that's a real superpower. All I got was nanotech and a lot of pain and weird stuff." She says. "Thanks, Di. You're a doll." She looks over to Howl. "Really, if you want a piece of me tomorrow, I'm all over it.' o O (I can't tell him about the trick. Impossible might be watching.)

Howl shakes his head. "I don't feel like playing this game." He puts his arm around Diamond's waist. "She's a big girl. She can handle herself."

Silver Spider nods. "Makes a certain amount of sense..." She says cooly. "I really don't feel like playing it either, but I've got to make sure looney lad doesn't blow the city up. I have a nice apartment now."

Olivia turns and looks at Silver Spider, "I was born a mutant over 400 years ago, so they didn't have nanotech then." she giggles and leans against Howl, "That is the only reason I am doing it..."

Silver Spider blinks. "Four hundred..." She looks over at Howl. "Oh..." She laughs. "You've gotta be kidding me. You're mad at me because I was flirting with your girlfriend?" She sputters. "Bwuh! That's hysterical!"

Silver Spider giggles. A lot.

Howl ignores Silver Spider and glances at Olivia. "Hmm?"

Silver Spider shrugs. "Well...you're both pretty old, almost from the same time period, and you're probably the only two people around...almost from the same time period...and...you know, you might actually have something in common."

Olivia smiles a bit and nods to Spider and then chuckles a bit, "She was flirting jsut a little." she looks over at Spider and nods, "We have a little in common yes, though I am older." she winks.

Howl nods. "It's true. I am the younger man."

Silver Spider thinks. o O (Indestructible. And Milfy. Oy.)

Silver Spider laughs a little bit. "Well, that's certainly something to keep an eye on." She chuckles. "Phone numbers and all."

Olivia smiles and laughs a bit. She shakes her head and looks a bit amused. "So...You two decided to fight? But you're two of our best." Howl remarks.

Olivia nods, "Yes, losing doesn't disqualify me or anything, just keeps me from getting more points."
