The Atom steps off another train, and arrives moments after Grant. He is
fairly small, and hops atop a railing to get a look.

Sledge plods down one of the streets near the station, the ground rumbling
violently under his steps and dull *THOOOMS* erupting at each foot fall.
He literally walks down the middle of the road, a visible trail of mayhem
behind him. Most notable a bus that looks as if it's front half has
literally been crushed inwardly by a high impact, cars that have been
squashed flat like crumpled beer cans and pedestrains scrambling for it.
Surprsingly enough..not many people look seriously injured or hurt. Even
those scampering out of the ruined bus with help. Mostly stun and fright
is noticable at this point. Sledge's expression is one of irritation and
annoyance..

Impulse makes a face. He speeds up inn front of Sledge, backpedaling each
time the bbig guy takes a step, and calls up, "Whaddya think you're
DOING?"

The Atom blinks and looks to see if there is anyone in need of immediate
assistance. He is gratified to hear the sounds of sirens in the distance,
and bounds over towards Sledge.

Sledge frowns a little, cutting his ice blue gaze from it's scan of the
area and way down to look at Impulse. He doesn't slow down or halt his
walk though. The heavy *THOOOMS* still rocking the ground as each foot
impacts. "Whatever the hell I want ta do.." rumbles a voice almost
subsonic in its deep tone. "Aint my fault they can't leave well 'nuff
alone..or don' make bigger streets. Now get outta my way shrimp.."

Impulse puts his hands on his hips, still backpedaling. "If ya don't cut
it out, and, like, go where the streets ARE bigger, I'll have to kick your
butt!"

The Atom finally bounds over to a nearby car, and sizes up Sledge. He
looks over at Impulse and watches Sledge cautiously.

Damage begins running towards the behometh, a look of... worry on his
face.

Impulse llooks aalmost as annoyed as Sledge.

Sledge snarls, "I'm warnin' ya punk! Yer buggin' me! Now beat it now
before I get all mad at ya and squash ya into the gro!" He doesn't stop
his approach. Still slowly walking forward although his gargantuan hands
are clenching into fists now. "Aint bad enough that I can't do nothin' in
this damn town..."

Impulse yellls, "I'd like to see you TRY!"

Damage rolls his eyes at the speedster. He stops about 40 feet away from
the very large Sledge and the compartively-small (actually, always-small)
Impulse.

Impulse runs circles aaroundd Sledge a couple times, cllears a couple
ppeople out of the giaant's waay, and spies Damage. "You gommaa gimme a
hand, or just staand there?"

Damage smiles slightly. "Well, since you asked..." He begins running
towards the Giant, hands glowing slightly...

Sledge growls and raises a massive fist. He blinks a few times when
Impulse starts to run around him literally, his eyes dizzly attempting to
follow the speedster, "Hey!!" His eyes take note of Damage now as well and
he shifts his body slightly to face him head on, eyes narrowed. "Two on
one eh? Why can' I jus' be left alone when I wanna be.." he mutters.

Impulse calls, "Maaybe cuz of the millions' worth of property damage?"

The Atom leaps over to the curb and grows to about 3 feet high and hmms.
"If you wanted to be alone so much, maybe you should try somewhere a
little less populated?"

Damage stops running towards Sludge, and instead turns to run to one side
of him. "New Yorkers love to bother people..."

Sledge frowns a little as Damage stops heading straight towards him. He
growls and then lifts a massive foot up..and sends it straight down to
impact the ground with a tremendous *BAWHOOOOM*. The force of the stomp
literally kicks off a quake, causing the streets to lurch and erupt
upwards violently with force measurable on the richter scale. "Don' try
and reason with me. Ya jerks had yer chance. So now yer gonna pay for
botherin' me!"

Damage's momentum, along with the shaking of the street, causes him to fly
into the air and land on a car. *CRASH*

The Atom jerks and falls to the ground with the force of the blow.
Shrinking back down to two inch size he regains his balance and considers
his next move.

Impulse acks! and flies through the air with the force of the quaake,
landing on his bum. he shaakes his head ddizzily for a second, then
scrambles to his feet

You say "Hey!" He looks up aand up aat Sledge again, and calls, "Who'm I
fighting, now?""

Impulse looks inordinately pleased with himself as he yells, then, "I
wannaa be aable to notify your next of kin!"

Sledge of course hasn't noticed Atom yet. His eyes briefly look towards
Impulse and then cut back towards Damage. Smirking a little he turns and
starts a slow plod in his direction. "Bet the two o'you are havin' second
thoughts now. Next time I say beat it....beat it!!!" He glances briefly
back at Impulse again, giving him a wierd look as he continues to walk,
"Huh?"

Damage rolls off of the car, standing up wearily. His muscle mass seems to
have increased somewhat. "That... hurt..."

Impulse sighs. "Michael Jackson is so -out-, though."

Impulse yells, "Hey, guy who just blew upp that car, Gigantor looks like
he wants to turn you into pate'." He runs around, looking for a laarge
piece of cloth..

New York: Grand Central Station

 A focal point of business and commerce, the area of Grand Central Station is
 always congested. Skyscrapers loom about, as cars, taxis, and buses pass by
 the terminal. The Chrysler Building can bee seen nearby, and well as
 Rockefeller Center. Just up 42nd street, is the United Nations Headquarters,
 where even more people strive for peace in the world without heroics. One can
 find a way to any part of New York from this point, or to any other part of
 the country for that matter. The buses that go through the station may be
 slower than an airplane, but they also offer a cheaper way to get to cities
 like Metropolis.

The Atom can't help but chuckle slightly, as he makes his way through the
broken street to the giant.

Damage shakes his head, as if to clear out the cobwebs... Then he starts
running at Sledge, very fast, glowing fists out in front of him.

A fist large enough crumple a car up in it's grasp begins to raise. "Not
nearly as much as yer about ta.." Sledge's basso voice rumbles towards
Damage. He continues approaching slowly. Massive shadow gradually
engulfing Damage and a huge area around him. He grins broadly as Damage
begins charging at him but doesn't slow his own approach and continues
plodding forward.

The Atom blinks and looks at the two moving quickly towards each other,
and decides to make sure he's out of the way before they collide.

Impulse woohoos, seeing the flags over at UN HQ, and scrabbles upp a
flagpole. Grabbing the neaat red and white one with thee maaple leaf in
the center, he slides down and begins running back toward Sledge.

Damage suddenly launches himself off the ground, fists forward, as he
attempts to uppercut Sledge.

Sledge's head jerks a fraction it seems when Damage's fist impacts against
his broad chin. The impression is almost as if an immovable object was
struck though and the behemoth grins, apparently starting to enjoy this.
The huge fist opens up and comes hurtling back down towards Damage as he
literally tries to pancake him into the ground in response, "Yer ticklin'
me kid..really..."

Damage OOFS as he's slammed into the ground, creating a large indentation
in the form of his body.

Impulse runs upp Sledge's back, trailing this gigantic Canadian flag, and
tries to wrap it around his eyes so's he can't see. If he caan do this,
then too fast to follow, the young speedster tries to rappidfire punch
Sledge, trying to at least daze him so a harder hitter can KO him.

The Atom leaps off the side and propels himself with all 180 lbs toward
Sledge's gut, hoping to land somewhere in the vicinity of his solar
plexus.

Sledge snarls and begins to slowly lift his huge hand up.."Fer the las'
time..scram!! Before I stop goin' easy on you jerks..hey..wha?!" He blinks
in surprise as his eye sight is suddenly taken from him, the flag wrapping
about his head, there being little he can do about the blur that's
Impulse. The rapid fire punches land all over his gargantuan form..but
seem to do little other then add to his general anger levels. "What the
hell!"

You say "Hey, Kid with the Fists of Doom! Now would be nice!"

Damage stands up, cursing. He's REALLY big now, and his hands are glowing
bright. "That wasn't too smart, Goliath." He aims a punch at Sledge's
stomach, throwing all his strength into it.

Sledge reaches his huge hands up to grab for the flag, leaving his ample
midsection open and defensless. Atom impacts against him but doesn't even
draw a grunt from the behemoth or force him back. The result literally
again that of an immovable object being hit. Damage's blow however seems
to elict more of a vocal response from the giant. He actually grunts as
the thick belly gets impacted and takes a step back. His mouth twists into
a snarl though..rising anger seeming to be the result of the hits. The
huge fingers knot into the flag and then pull..ripping it apart and
pulling it from his head.

The Atom bounces off Sledge like hitting a brick wall. He lands somewhere
off to one side and shakes his head a bit, dazed.

You say "Whoo! Yer gonnaa get a bunch of Canadians mad."

Damage moves backwards, shaking his hand as he tries to move away for a
moment. "It's like punching a mountain!" He kicks at Sledge's shin as he
moves closer again.

Green Lantern flies across the city, stopping short at the sight of the
scuffle below. He thinks . o O (What the...? Better check this out..)

Impulse frowns. "Well, um, wasn't there this guy? That had a mountaain
follow him? Maybe you get get Godzilla here to follow you out of the
middle of the city?"

Green Lantern arcs himself into a diving position and makes his way
towards the fight.

Impulse yells upp at Sledge, "You maake-a a mess-a! We not-aa like-aa you
makin' a mess of dde ceeeety!"

Sledge snarls, "Dammit, you jerks are the ones escaltin' this mess. But
alright..I'll up the danger 'ere.." He growls as Damage kicks him in the
shin and then sweeps a hulking hand down towards him to try and grab for
him.

Green Lantern projects an energy globule that starts to coalesce into a
40-foot-long shovel...

Impulse sighs, andd sppeaaks as if to a three year olld. A particularly
dense one, at that. "We don't want you to up the danger. We want you to GO
AWAY."

Impulse gestures. "Far, far away, where there are no buses to stompp on."

Green Lantern thinks . o O (What, ANOTHER big guy?? Oh. The... SAME... big
guy. Oboy...)

Green Lantern dives towards Sledge, bringing the now solidly constructed
shovel high over his head...

Damage dodges out of the way of the hand. "You should get some skin
lotion, cause your hands are all blotchy..."

The Atom hmms and finally rises from the earlier impact. "Have to think on
this..." He blinks and nods to himself as the lightbulb goes on. He
shrinks down to less than an inch high and leaps for Sledge's shoulder,
heading for his ear.

Sledge growls in irritation, his attention is mainly on Damage and Impulse
at the moment..and so not even noticing Green Lantern until it becomes to
late.. He swats out again at Damage..his massive hand whipping through the
air, "stay..still!"

Damage grabs onto the hand as it goes by. "Why would I do that?"

Impulse excllaaims, "Are you -high-??! Stay -stilll-? So you can ppound
us?"

Green Lantern brings the shovel down, aiming directly for the upper
portion of his back.

The Atom bounds off Sledge's shoulder and heads into his ear. He starts
messing with Sledge's inner ear, throwing off his sense of balance.

Impulse hmms, gaathering up the rope from the flagpole from before, and
qquickly strings it taut across the street, in front of Sledge, at
ankle-level. He ties it tightly to lamppposts on either side, doubleknots.

Sledge frowns at Damage and tries to bring the hand back in a swat to
attempt tos send him flying away from him. He starts to growl out a
response to Impulse but then gets impacted hard by Green Lantern. The
shovel slamming into his back and sending the behemoth hurtling forward
and into the ground. "Ungh!!" His feet impact the newly tied knots in the
process and the sheer force of his tonnage and the blow from Lantern
literally uproots the lamposts from the ground.

Damage grabs onto the hand hard. "You won't get rid of me that easily!"

Impulse stops short, seeeing the laampposts. "Uhm. I've never HEARD of
that Impulse kid! Nope, nope! AAnd I have NO IDDEA who the Titans are!"

Damage jumps off the hand as Sledge falls over. He jumps and aims a kick
at the back of his knee.

The Atom stomps up and down inside Sledge's ear, upsetting his balance and
trying his best to keep the behemoth from rising.

Impulse sighs, and tilts over, peering at Sledge's embeddded faace. "Hey,
Big Guy, I'm getting bored. We'll stopp bugging you if you go aaway and
quit breaking stuff, cool?"

Sledge shakes his head and starts to stumble to his knees. He growls a
little and then frowns deeply, starting to feel dizzy and apparently
having a hard time realizing what side is right side up. Damage's kick
impacts his knee but only draws a snarl from the giant. His ice blue eyes
cut upwards to note Green Lantern now, o O (Damn!)

Green Lantern waves the shovel as if waving hello. "I see you remember
me."

"Hell yeah I do.." Sledge rumbles. He glares at Impulse and starts to
lurch like a drunkard to his feet slowly, "How many times do I gotta tell
ya bozo'ss! If ya would jus' leave well 'nuff alone..then it'd be alright.
I jus wanna be left alone dammit. Get off my back right now and I won'
bring this area down round yer heads!" He glares towards Damage, "Yer
startin' ta really make me mad!"

Damage hops back, moving a slight distance away. "I'm infuriating, aren't
I. If you want to leave, leave now."

Impulse holds up his haands. "Hey, like, you STARTED it, mister! If you
didn't squash that bus aand those cars and leave gaapping craters in the
streets, we wouldn't have even showed upp in t he first place! So, quit it
and we'll leave you alone, okay?"

Green Lantern dissipates the shovel. "Oh, nice public service
announcement. Stop the violence or I'll deck more buildings. Sheez..."

The Atom stops his vertigo action in his ear and waits for a response.

Sledge growls, "The bus ran inta me jerks..aint my fault.." He stays sways
a little..unable to do much at the moment it seems. He then growls, "How
generous o'ya. You'll let me jus' walk.. Aint all o'ya jus' the nicest
bunch o'chumps I done met yet.." o O (Freakin'..green dude. I had 'em
before.. now that he's showed up..Dunno. Gotta think..maybe better pull
out for real.....)

"Maaybe if you weren't WALKING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET," yells
Imppulse, "The bus wouldn't have hit you. Think, man, think! Even *I* know
caause and effect!" Like Bart should talk, eh?

Sledge hmms as his balance seems to return. He growls upon hearing Impulse
and then a grin crosses his face, "Fine.. You jus' keep on talkin'..Here's
a little somethin' ta remember me by!" He drops down to a crouched
position suddenly and then b rings his huge fists down into the ground
with a loud *THOOOOOOOOM* at the impact. The area lurches horribly again
as a shockwave ripples out from the point of impact.

Damage aies as he falls backwards.

Green Lantern whoooaas and struggles to maintain his aloft position.

Impulse gahs and falls again. "You...big...DORK!"

Sledge snarls and waves it off. He turns and starts to plod forward again
slowly, intending on leaving the area now. "Yeah yeah.."

The Atom hears the sound and wonders what hit what as he can't see from
his position. He pokes his head outside for a moment to look.

Impulse yelps, "Whomp him one, GL!"

Damage turns over, places his hands on the ground, and sends energy
rumbling along the ground towards Sledge.

Impulse oohs, "Is he leaving?" The punk is stilll on the ground.

Green Lantern ring-zaps a huge energy blaster and trains it on Sledge.
"Look, whoever started the fight, I'm ending it, capice?"

Impulse calls to GL from thee ground, "I think he got the mmessage! I
think!"

Green Lantern calls down to Impulse. "Thanks for the update!" He looks
back up at Sledge. "Well?"

The Atom blinks at GL and leaps off to Sledge's shoulder and then off to
the ground as the giant heads away from the area.

Sledge smirks at GL, "Yeah..yeah.." He starts to turn slightly and then
gets whallped by the rumbling energy from Damage. The impact of the blast
sending him off of feet and flying backwards. He strikes the ground with a
loud *BOOOM*, landing on his back with a grunt.

Damage smirks. "No we're all even."

Impulse sighs, and glares at Damage. "Now you owe me aa quarter got a
vidgame."

Damage turns to face Impulse. "Why's that?"

You say "Because I could be playing one right now, but you went and got
King Kong maddder, and he's prolley gonna start fighting agaain."

Damage hmms. "Sorry... got a bit out-of-control there for a moment."

Impulse grumps.

Green Lantern sighs. . o O (Please tell me this fight's not continuing...)

Sledge starts to pull to his feet. He glares towards Damage and Impulse
and then looks up towards Green Lantern. A snarl crosses his face and huge
fists clench..but surprsingly enough..he turns and keeps going. "Nother'
time heroes!"

Impulse sighs with relief. "CoooOOOoool."

Damage sighs and falls to his knees. "Good."

Impulse grins at GL, Atom, and Damage. "Later. Places to go, levels to
beat."

Impulse zips off.

The Atom nods and grows back to near normal size.

Damage turns around, heading back towards the subway...

Green Lantern dissipates the blaster and touches down on the ground.
