JimBob eyes the monologuing rave-garage uneasily, and glances at Ian and Peltast. "So... Do we punch someone in the face, or...?"
"I think we're a little late to the party," Quinn says, landing next to JimBob after his last leap. "Sounds like there's someone in there restraining . . . someone else? And did I hear Sinestro? He's sort of a weirdo, isn't he?"
"'Sort of a weirdo'?!" JimBob's jaw falls literally to the floor. He retracts it like a set of cartoony blinds. "Founder of the Sinestro Corps? Yellow Lantern extraordinaire? Looks kinda like this?" JimBob inflates his head like a balloon. "He and Hal Jordan only killed eachother a half a dozen times. But no, yeah, he'll go down in history as 'sort of a weirdo', sure."
JimBob stretches his head toward the building for a better look and listening point.
Quinn has absolutely no clue what's going on, so he will wait until someone who seems more in the know to tell him what to do.
That may or may not occur, but JimBob is rapidly qualifying as someone who knows more. Because with his head extended up near the rafters, he can see through a hole in the roof that:
LIBRA lies stunned near the ruins of his machine, wearing a yellow mind-cuff
The TATTOOED MAN is mind-cuffed
PIG LANTERN is rooting in the wreckage of Libra's machine
SINESTRO is standing in the middle of the room, waving a yellow-force sword around
VINA is reasoning with Sinestro, which does not appear to be changing Sinestro's behavior all that much
GREG (Flash) GORDON is buzzing around from one thing to another, deciding what to do
and ATROCITUS, having recovered his wits, is stealthily breathing a red ball of fire into the air in front of him, shaping it into a pair of red-energy scissors with which to cut loose the bent pipes restraining him.
Snip, snip! Atrocitus, the horrific tooth-covered crocodilian bodybuilder with Red Lantern breath, is free!
And he shapes his red fire into a big red buzzsaw, which he slides over into the path of the Flash's buzzing around ...
JimBob expands his neck like a balloon to use it as a makeshift lung, then shapes his esophagus into a cone to maximize his volume as he shouts "FLASH, STOP!!" and gestures wildly with the hand he left behind, beckoning Ian and Quinn to enter the fray.

Fire. Of course the villain uses fire. Well, since this is a garage, there's a decent chance that there's a fire extinguisher present. Ian will turn himself invisible and look for one.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah ... the Martian Manhunter is vulnerable to fire! Well, to be fair, that hardly ever happens up on Mars ...
