[OOC: Tommy's heading into the Upside-Down on the 14th through the Fountain Gate. And he's a hero that specializes in emergency rescues. So if someone needs a rescue during the Mindflayer fights. If someone needs to be rescued and taken out for a doctor, we can wildcard Tommy showing up to rescue.]

Storms are the worst. Storms mess with Tommy's head like nothing else does. His powers are who he is, and the amount of times they've been taken away lately have been pretty upsetting. Which of course is why Tommy does the only thing he knows how to do. He hides. Hides in a corner of his new apartment over the diner, hiding under a blanket and shaking.II. Being A Hero | CW: 'animal attacks', possible explosions, possible blood
He's powerless and that scares him. Always scares him. Keeps getting him injured. Keeps reminding him he's worthless without what he can do. So he hides and tries to breathe because his whole body seems like it wants to shake out of his skin. And that's just how it goes.
This is just how his sanity goes.
Power surges into his system and Tommy does the first thing he can think of. He takes off into the city, running at full speed.III. When The Hero Needs Saved
Simple fact of the matter is that he wants to be a hero. More than that, you can do a hell of a lot of damage with speed. Force equals mass times acceleration. A lot of force happens when even someone wiry and slight like Tommy was bowls into something with an outstretched fist at sixty miles an hour. He's heard at mach three you basically turn a person into paste.
Really, the demodog deserves it, and Tommy has no issue at all booting it away from it's intended victim like he's a fucking... Whatever the name for the dude in football who kicks the ball when they kick it is called. Don't ask him. He doesn't watch sports.
"Well, that was fun," he says as he watches the creature go sailing limply through the air. No way it would get up wherever it landed. Then he looks to the person he rescued. "You okay? See or hear any others around?"
Because there always seemed to be others around.
What Tommy wasn't expecting once the powers came back in was for them to suddenly fail him again. Especially not when he had been hunting something. Something taller than him. Something with a big, screaming, flower-petal face.IV. Wildcard
"Shit," he curses as he feels it all flee him again. And he tries to back away.
"Shit," he says again as he throws himself at a tree, trying to haul himself up into it.

It's perhaps quite the reverse for a Demogorgon, having someone come up behind it instead, but then Felwinter is not flesh and blood, and the creature is driven by the fresh promise of a meal. Or at least it was until the back of its head is slammed into, sending it falling forward.
Behind it, the warlord waits, flexing a gloved fist.
no subject
"Dude, be careful!"
no subject
"Keep an eye out," he says in response to Tommy's warning. And then he's lunging forward at the Demogorgon, hand thrusting forward. Whether it decides to meet him with his face or claws, he's ready, it seems.
no subject
The Demogorgon takes the face on challenge and tries to claw at the Exo, intending to overwhelm it with strength.
no subject
He catches those narrow wrists, pulling the thing forward as he jerks his knee up with bone-crunching force at its torso before he slams his head into the thing's throat.
no subject
The Demogorgon screams and rates, and opens its mouth to try and wrap its mouth petals around Felwinter's head.
warning for violence against demogorgons i guess
There's no reason to feel pity or regret for his actions here, no second thoughts. These are mindless beasts and their motives have been quite clear. And that's something the warlord will not stand for.
warning for violence against demogorgons
"Dude, did you SERIOUSLY just tear that thing's head in two?"
Yes, of course Felwinter had.
"Bad. Ass."
no subject
"It can't swallow anyone's head if there isn't a mouth to do it with."
no subject
"Fucking hell. Of course it would come back now."
no subject
"Abilities aren't reliably restored, although the development is curious. I wonder what's changed..."
no subject
And clearly it's not. Which was the worst.
no subject
The warlord looks around before nudging the body on the ground. "Best we keep moving before any more show up. And perhaps even find where they're coming from."
no subject
"Girl on the network said there were 'gates'. They're coming from those."
no subject
He starts ahead.
no subject
no subject
He might have to find an alternative method for the last part with powers being as they are. Which reminds him.
"...I require more ammunition for my weapon first."
no subject
"Where do you find that?"
no subject
"The Hunter likes his games. The previous Warlock who had been here also used a shotgun, but he's stashed much of the ammo and thought it would be amusing to hide them around the city," he explains as he continue on.
no subject
Because he'd helped Cayde collect it before heading underground.
no subject
no subject
He has to think about that.
"There's some by the power plant."
no subject
no subject
Because Tommy's currently got the power to manage it.
no subject
Felwinter jumps, testing his ability to hover. Perhaps it'll make it easier for both of them. He floats there, nodding at Tommy before he holds a hand out to him. Tow away!
