2012-09-03 - Mudwrestling for Charity

The San Francisco Community Center is a large one, but underfunded. It is not in a horrible part of town, but a rough one. It is an ideal location for those in the rough part of town to reach it, but it to be safe enough for its workers. Thanks to Black Canary's assistance - I love you Dinah! - Roy Harper has two swimsuits. He guessed on sizes, but he knows he is right. They are made out of durable material that will not rip easily. Furthermore, they are split for colors. Starfire's has one breast cup is gold, the other purple, and the bottom has a diangle across it to split the front and back for gold/purple. Also, secured on bottoms is a sheer wrap-around, purple in color for Starfire that is meant to be ripped away. For Supergirl's, hers are the same except the colors are blue and red, with the sheer being red. There is also adhesive for the girls to make sure the swimsuits do not accidentally slip off.

The gym has been set-up with bleachers, and there is what looks like a homemade boxing ring resting atop of spread out plastic covers. Of course, the boxing ring actually contains dirty mixed with water a.k.a. mud, with a hose nearby if it doesn't prove muddy enough that snakes from outside the back door. There is also a little bit off a wooden soap box as they say with a mic on a stand resting upon it. The cord for it is wrapped in plastic to protect it from getting wet by accident.

When Brandon showed up, Roy showed him the stand, and the swimsuits! People aren't being let in just yet, but the tickets are sold out which makes Roy really happy! This is where he volunteers as a drug counselor. It is when the girls show up that things get interesting though!

"Supergirl, Starfire!" This may be where it really hits Brandon, which Roy pulled this off. "I got your swimsuits so you don't mess up your uniforms, and I got the adhesive so nothing accidentally slips off either because umm...that would be awkward and embarrassing. Though the sheer stuff you can rip off just fine, but careful of the suits, seriously," he adds mostly to Starfire. "No nekkid time."

Starfire glances over at Roy and pouts then over as she floats on in, "But according to all of my research of such grit based sparring rituals, that is an essential part of it!" Yes, Starfire has been watching mud wrestling videos to see how they're supposed to be done. She glances over at Kara then quizzically, "Or have the instructional aids that I have been viewing been otherwise incorrect?" Yes, there will be many a nosebleed tonight from Mister Harper in attendance. And so Kory goes over where instructed, somewhat pouty that she'll have to incorrectly pursue the proper medium of combat.

Kara Zor-El seems a bit confused, since up until this point she wasnt told about the wrestling being in bikinis. And she only was half seriously thinking there was going to be mud. But yep - there's mud. "Wait... what?" she starts to say as she's ushed in to change. "I'm pretty sure I didn't agree to-" The changing room door closes. She comes out a little later in a red bikini. Unlike Starfire, she hasnt been watching videos of mudwrestling, figuring it was basically like greco roman wrestling, which she was taught by Artemis... in mud, for some reason which still escapes her. Maybe because of the slipperiness making for a more even playing field? The bikini thing, however, still is throwing her for a loop - but it's for charity and it's already happening so too late to back out.

She blinks, looking at Starfire as she talks to Brandon about 'nekked time.' "Okay. NO nekked time. Seriously." she says, looking around and at the ring.

Captain America is going to be just thrilled...that's She-Hulk, *in costume*...and while she's not TRYING to push in line, given who she is, people are making way for her anyway. She's close enough to hear 'nekked time' and laughs a bit. Just a bit, so it might not be heard by everyone in the area.

A young, awkward gentleman in line hears just fine, and adjusts his black framed glasses, ducking his head as She-Hulk passes. Okay, yeah, he's not wearing the leather jacket this time, or wearing his hair spiked, but Conner Kent of Smallville still shies away from making eye contact with the Avenger. He fidgets in his flannel and t-shirt, and, on reaching the front of the line, shoots Roy a stern look that challenges him to say a word. Somehow managing to stare sternly while still practicing awful posture looks like it took some effort. "Warned you," is whispered under his breath, quiet enough that even those immediately next to him in line are unlikely to be able to make the words out over the sounds of the neighborhood and the dull roar of an anxious crowd.

Brandon sits at the announcer table, wearing a suit jacket over a t-shirt with a tuxedo shirt print on it with a pair of blue jeans. Yes, he dressed up for this uber special occasion. He is currently bent down talking to someone at the end of the announcer booth, exchanging a quick bet before the start of the match. Once that it taken care of, he returns to his position and makes sure everything is ready for the start of the program.

Gambit had paid for his ticket like everyone else but standing in line just isn't his style. So the Cajun managed to sneak around back and pick his way into the building and is at present scaling the rafters. He looks down, "Dats a long way down dere Remy.. dis better be worth it." he mutters to himself as he perches atop the ring for an eagle eye's view of the upcoming match. He stays in the sgadows and takes out a snall pair of micro minoculars to check out the action close up.

"There are different types, family friendly and non-family friendly. We are doing the family friendly version Starfire, I /told/ you that before." And Roy sighs at Starfire's memory. "Anyway, change, and don't forget to use the gluey stuff." Though of course when Kara walks out, he blinks and looks a little dazed. Maybe this /wasn't/ the best idea he ever had. He has to force himself to look away. He can't be obvious! What would the Titans think? Goodness, he is eight years older than her! But not the issue here. He takes a deep breath. Charity! "Alright girls, stay behind the curtain until we call you out, Starfire go to the far side of the ring, and Supergirl to the closest. Brandon will be doing the announcing." He is totally glad he slipped his bud that also works here to video tape this. He is the one with the camcorder.

There are youths in the crowd and even a number of women as well, but no children and no 'families'. But the crowd is a mixture of fans, to those hoping a top comes off, to those that find this absolutely willlld!

Roy waves to Brandon, "Going to let people into the gym to take their seats now man! Enjoy being all star-like!" Of course, Roy placed his bet earlier and hopes Supergirl doesn't catch him! He bet on Starfire who had more professional combat training and experience than Supergirl...especially when they are holding back superpowers. Starfire in combat training could even go toe-to-toe with Donna.

Brandon looks to Roy and returns the wave, nodding his head. "Sure thing, boss." He puts the betting slip in his pocket, having bet on Kara simply for the fact that he's got a crush on the girl. Plain and simple. He taps on the mic, making sure it's turned on before he speaks into it with his best announcer voice. "If everyone will take their seats, the event will be starting shortly."

Starfire shifts over then as she glances at Supergirl, "Friend Kara, I enjoy your outfit. This will be an amazing matchup!" Starfire goes to float over towards the other side of the ring then, going into some stretches nad showing off her body, probably o the enjoyment of the crowd. Once there, she goes to pose then, not quite provocatively but in her normal way as she rests, scanning the area then and waiting for Kara to ready herself as well. Her own attire is somewhat more covering than her standard battle outfit, but she will have to make do!

She-Hulk has taken up a good seat...carefully, of course. Now she yells towards the ring. "What say I take on the winner?" Oh, the rest of the Avengers will be so embarrassed. If she's serious. However, it is pretty hard to tell just how serious the Emerald Amazon is at any given time. Possibly she's never serious. Possibly she always is.

Kara Zor-El stops by Roy and says under her breath, "You didnt say anything about bikinis R-" and she's ushered to the curtain, hearing Conner's little 'told you so' whisper. She steps behind the curtain, looking over at Roy. He has a problem with kissing but not this? Kara thinks to herself. Resigning herself to the fact that this is going to happen, she's happy that at least Kal's currently on the other side of the globe so he doesnt have a brain aneurysm.

She puts her hands on her hips and waits for the announcer.

Starfire shifts over then as she glances at Supergirl, "Friend Kara, I enjoy your outfit. This will be an amazing matchup!" From over behind the curtain, she starts to do some stretches then over as she waits for the signal to go out, shifting to look over the crowd. Hoping that a supervillain will not attack the proceedings as they almost always do. Then she smiles over at Kara then, not hearing Conner's snark remark. "IT is for a good cause, friend Kara. And we have these new wonderful outfits for it!" She's covering more skin than she usually does.

Well, Stark and Hawkeye likely wouldn't be embarassed, but all the others likely would be!

In either case, Roy is ushering people in, and biting his lower lip. He's nervous. He whispers beneath his breath, "Only PG-13, please fate." Not that he won't be making it rated XXX in his fantasies later darn it! Still, when Conner Kent passes he double takes. "Wha'...," but he blinks again as Kent is now past, shaking his head. He goes to give Brandon a thumbs up, and heads off to the side only to hear She-Hulk's yell.

Oh, he double takes at that, jaw dropping and..., his head tilts a bit. He almost yells back, but catches himself and instead just grins. He has seen pictures of She-Hulk, but this is the first time of seeing her personally.

Conner picks the ideal seat for trying to see behind Supergirl's curtain, and, to the frustration of some around him, wastes it by looking around at the surroundings, lips just barely moving as he adds, "At least Clark said he'd start trusting our judgement?" in the same quiet, quiet whisper. At Jen's challenge, he joins many of the others in attendance in looking her way. Go Kory?

Brandon watches the area around him, getting himself ready to go on. As he spots Roy giving the thumbs up. He nods once before he speaks into the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the San Francisco Community Center for tonight's main event brought to you by Roy Harper. A bout between Supergirl and Starfire. All proceeds from tonight goes to the community center." He pauses there for applauds before he continues once it dies down. "Introducing first. Hailing from Tamaran. She stands 6 feet 8 inches tall. You know her and love her! The Exiled Star Princess, herself... Starfire!"

Starfire yays as her name is called, her silhouette twirling over behind the curtain as if dancing, and then she yanks it over to the side as she goes on out! Posing like the girls do over in the wrestling videos, body swaying over to the unheard music then as she struts regally but playfully out towards the cetner of the ring, twirling about then as her body glows over with stored solar energy, making her inner form glow as she goes out in an array of sparkles!

Gambit scopes out the crowd using his binoculars and spots a couple that might be worth picking their wallets. He looks at the bet ticket that he got. Thinking it was dumb to bet no the girl with the least amount of clothes. He pockets the Starfire bet stub and turns his attention to the girls coming out, "Well, dis just got a whole lot more interetsin'." he says with a smirk and uses the binoculars to zoom in on the contestant's outfits or lack there of.

Roy winces at his name use, but whatever...if you aren't a Star City local, likely never have heard of him unless you paid him to be your P.I. He crosses his arms and leans against a wall, near the crowd. He is there in case someone in the crowd gets rowdy, and let's just say, it wouldn't be a pleasent experience. As a result, he makes sure to keep a scan on the crowd, but most of his attention is on the ring. And ya, ignore his rapidly racing heart. He's a moron.

Sitting over by Gambit are two men wearing street clothes. One withj long blonde hair and somewhat thin, the other very rotund with a goatee and a dark trenchcoat. The somewhat rotund one is silent, and his thin companion just watches, "Man, this is gonna be #$!#'in awesome! I mean, better than the time.." HIs companion makes a silent finger, gesturing at him to not interrupt the entrance.

She-Hulk folds her own arms. Okay. Starfire? Her kind of girl. She flickers the Tamaranean a grin, then asides to the person (un)fortunate enough to be sitting next to her. "I hope they tone it down, or the ring might not survive." Or the building. Or...

Brandon waits for Starfire to do her thing, enjoying the show and is lucky enough to practically be ringside for this show. Once she's finished giving her performance, he speaks again into the microphone. "And her opponent. Hailing from San Francisco by way of Metropolis and Krypton. She stands 5 feet seven inches tall and is the cousin of Superman, himself! She is the one! The only! Supergirl!"

In contrast to Starfire's 'showy' appearance, Kara first peeks her head out of the curtain. Then the curtain is whisked away and she waves while heading down to the ring, looking around at certain faces in the crowd with an awkward smile. She floats over the ropes and lands her feet in the mud, scrunching her nose a bit about that. Smile again Kara. It's for charity. She waves around to the crowd.

...

It's clear she hasnt watched the videos.

Starfire floats over then, taking her corner of the pit. Don't worry, she will help! Starfire is showy then, playing up her role while Kara is the 'good girl' like in the wrestling videos! So that would make Starfire the heel. But she deosn't have her boots on! Oh well, she'll make do! She powers up then, body glowing wtih energy and sparkles as she faces off with her adversary!

Conner scans the surroundings, getting distracted by Koriand'r's entrance. Yeah, it still covers more than the outfit he's seen her in a hundred times, but she doesn't normally strut, and well, he's only human. Metaphorically. At She-Hulk's comment, he says, meek as he can manage, "They probably will," in a normal conversational tone, his frame hunched over and doing everything it can to diminish the resemblance to a certain boy of steel. Mild mannered farmboy here, nothing to see!

She-Hulk ehs. "They're both pretty well trained, by all accounts." Kara kicked her butt once. Starfire she's not sure of. Thus? She's 'betting' on Kara. Not that she's actually going to gamble on this, but...for all that Starfire's the showy one, she's fairly sure Kara's stronger. She hopes so, anyway!

Roy watches Supergirl walk away from him, at his angle, he is looking at her back. He thought that wiser, so she can't see his expression by chance. Not that people can't get turned about in combat...but whatever. He's trying to think about this tactically. A worker at the community center steps up to him, holding a video camcorder. The two speak quietly, before the guy walks away to get a better angle. The conversation was short:

"Man Roy, how did you pull this off?"

"Old connections Troy, back when I was a foster kid. And make sure you get some good shots."

"Geez Roy, you just don't want to admit that you think Supergirl is seriously hawt too."

Roy hisses quietly, "Shhhh..."

Luckily after that, Roy is left alone to watch the battle.

Well... Kara -is- a good girl usually! She goes to her corner, still waving to the crowd, saying under her breath, "Conner, I might have to kill Roy.... Just sayin'." then smiles again to the crowd and waves with both hands before turning to wait for the ref's instructions.

Starfire twirls around then, putting on mor eof a show of it. She rmeembers the instructions.. The bottoms can be torn off, make a display of it, and don't use powers a sthey don't want to smash the place! She pirouettes, and spins about over, he renergy building up around her like hse were a Magical Girl as she awaits for the ref to show them!

Once both Kara and Starfire are ready and in their positions, Brandon rings the bell three times to signal the start of the match. "Here we go folks, this is sure to be a battle of the ages." He says in his professional announcer-type voice. "For those of you here, consider yourself lucky. Everyone else, you're outta luck. This is sure to be something to remember!"

If Kara listens for Roy's heartbeat, it's beating like crazy.

"I can try and burn off his eyebrows from here," Conner says under his breath, somehow managing to convey his 'I told you so' smile before the starting bell, and he sits back as things actually get started. "Would you really just jump in to fight the winner?" he asks She-hulk in a voice that's still low, but nowhere near as low as the whisper from before.

"Eh. Maybe. Although I know Supergirl can beat me. Not sure about Starfire." She-Hulk smiles a bit at Conner.

Kara Zor-El looks over at Roy... then smiles a bit about hearing the quickened heartbeat of a certain someone who freaked about a kiss but then roped her into this. She gets on the first rope in the corner and leans over a bit and waves at Roy, then back down to the mud, turns around, and waits for Brandon to give the instructions. Especially since this clearly doesn't seem like greco roman wrestling!

Starfire nods over and turns to Brandon, then smiles her best smile over around the room, "Yes, we are both ready to go at it as soon as you are ready for us to go at it!" Starfire patiently waits for instructions, hovering over in midair and spinning once more, taking in the crowd and the attention!

Kara Zor-El looks at Starfire for a second, really wishing she'd stop referring to what they're going to do as 'going at it.'

Roy turns bright red at the wave, and looks at anything, but a human being - or alien for that matter! He keeps his arms crossed over his chest. Awwww, embarassed! He does listen as any additional instructions are given, mostly to the crowd to behave, and the bell rings to start the match!

Starfire takes the moment and charges in over towards Supergirl, going for the first attack! Her fingers trying to catch Supergirl about by the neck then to try and get her in a hold!

Kara Zor-El first headed into the center to shake hands before the fight. But instead gets Kori's arm around her neck! She was told many times that this was for charity and not an all out brawl or something, so she was just going to be obviously holding back.. But this took her by surprise that Kori would just go right into doing a choke hold. DEFINITELY NOT GRECO ROMAN RULES!

Kara puts her hands on Starfire's arm as she grabs her in the hold and pushes backwards. It was intended to hit her into the corner of the ring... but mud is slippery! So instead she slips backwards onto Kori and goes splattering into the mud, pulling Starfire down along with her. You can clearly hear the 'Aaaagh!" from Kara.

And it begins. Cheers ring out from some in the crowd. Conner just kind of buries his face in his hands. That is NOT a view you want of your cousin, regardless of how attractive the woman beneath her is. Yeah, Roy... might be losing an eyebrow before the night's out.

Brandon gets right into his duties as announcer, leaning forward slightly to watch the action. "Starfire charges in at Supergirl, but Supergirl puts her in a choke hold!" His voice reflects the excitement for the match and the entertainment he's getting from it. "Oh no! Supergirl slips and drags them both down into the mud! This is getting dirty real quick!"

Starfire goes down! On top of Supergirl. The two are wriggling, twisting, bouncing about in the mud then as it splats over both girls then! For the moment, Starfire is on her side, merrily trying to get atop and twist, but Kara's got better leverage!

Yep, Roy is going to hell for this. He's going to hell a happy man though, or rather nearly happy! The wiggling bodies of the two women, has his eyes glued. Thank goodness there aren't any telepaths in the crowd!

Kara Zor-El is at first under Starfire, which for most men would probably be something that a lot of men would be paying a fortune for and loving. Kara's not loving it so much. "Hey.. Kori, what the... getoff..." she says as Kori momentarily is on top. She plants her feet against the back of Kori's legs and pushes up, flipping Kori overhead so that she splashes front-first into the mud behind Kara, causing a splash of mud, and several speckles of Kori-induced mud on some of the front row spectators. At which point Kara quickly gets on Starfire's back and straddles her while grabbing at Kori's arms to pull upwards. "This is so gross!" she says to Kori, "ugh it's in my hair!

Conner glances over when it's mostly Kori he's seeing, but then he looks back to Roy, staring very hard at the man's eyebrows over the top of his glasses. So far, if there's heat, it's purely from the intensity of the glare, rather than any alien DNA.

That is when Roy yells out, trying to be heard over the crowd, "Don't worry Supergirl, we will hose you two off afterwards! And we got showers, and I made sure to get the good smelling soap and shampoo stuff for you girls!" He isn't heard over the crowd though unless you have enhanced hearing or are close by.

Roy is totally going to hell, but he can't stop staring at Kara straddling Starfire. He aims to not embarass himself by drooling. That would be seriously embarassing.

The crowd is going wild as the mud splatters, and those in the front row really yiphaw about! Fists are punched in the air and different people are calling out for Supergirl, while others call out for Starfire.

As Conner glares a lot time, Roy starts looking around awkwardly, arms uncrossing over his chest. He looks...nervous and wary, suspicious even.

Brandon seems to be really enjoying the show, the excitement coming through in his voice. And he is definitely one of those men that would pay a fortune for that opportunity. "It looks like Starfire has the upper hand, with her on top of Supergirl. Oh wow! Supergirl flips Starfire off her and there she goes face first in the mud!" A few splatters of mud lands on the announcing table and on him. Yup. This outfit is going on eBay.

With Kara atop her now then, Kory grins up at Supergirl, "Nonsense!" She goes to try and quickly scissor her legs up and about Supergirl's waist, trying to grab and lock them over Supergirl to twist beneath her and from there slip her down and get a reversal! Intent on if she can using her agility to try and twist out of Supergirl, and then use her superior leverage wtih her legs to get Kara spun about beneath her in a scissor twirl!

Conner's attention flashes back to the fight. Okay, that was just an impressive move, the outfit of the girl doing it aside. Yeah, in a no powers fight, either of these girls could probably take him. He looks back to Roy then. The more goofily happy Roy's expression, the warmer his left eyebrow gets. Kon-el's taking it slow, trying to singe off the hair without having visible beams of red-hot light shoot across the room and give him away. Okay, a little petty, but it might stop Kara from trying to kill him later, so really, he's helping the older Titan.

Normally, it's dang near impossible for adversaries to get out of Kara's grip. But most adversaries arent coated in slippery, slippery mud, so when Starfire starts squirming and twisting around, she does get out of it, then tries the whole 'reversal' on Kara.

Nuh-uh, Kara's not having any of that. Soon as Starfire tries to scissor twirl her, Kara gives Starfire a fairly strong shove while at the same time sort of 'flying' backwards along the mud, flying up into a stance again. Kori, meanswhile, slides into the ropes. She turns around and does a 'pfft pfft' thing with her mouth to try to get the mud away from her lips since she can't just wipe it off (what with her being coated in the slippery stuff) and turns to walk towards the corner. "Well I think that is whaaaa--" Kara winds up slipping on the ground and splashing backwards into the mud.

Again.

Hopefully there won't be any criminals called Mudmaster in the future thinking they can take down (or escpae from) the Girl of Steel. Because from this fight they very well might.

Kory rolls off the ropes now, the clingy little sarong she has on over half sliding down a leg as she had it cocked to the side then, her pausing a moment then to reorient herself towards Kara, speaking, "Is this not glorious battle?" She's enjoying herself now, going to get up now then. For the moment, Kory pauses to let Kara get back up over in the mud, then waits for her time to charge again.

Yes, there is a very pertinent reason why Batman will never, ever ask Kara to help against Clayface. Or ask Kory to help when he needs something done subtly. Or ask KOry for help anyways.

Tamaraneans were descended from alien hunting cats long ago, and from how Koriand'r moves, one might see a bit of that in her motions, even though her figure is fully humanoid. Retracting back, Koriand'r goes for a leap and tackle over towards Supergirl as the Maid of Steel gets up, going to try and hti her in a low powered body tackle to hopefully send the two tumbling over across the arena!

Roy does look arund, as if feeling the staring, and frowning. He keeps getting distracted by the fight, but he doesn't have a happy go-lucky expression. He nervously reaches up to rub a hand over his face as if checking to see if anything is wrong with it! It feels like someone wants to murder him! Maybe...he should go to the other side of the room, and Roy starts to do just that, moving along the back of the make-shift fighting ring so not to interfer with everyone else's view. Well, least Conner figures he is making Roy a nervous wreak and paranoid as hell. His ninja powers are strong! Well, sorta. And....he is likely about to get splattered himself.

She-Hulk has been watching this with quite a bit of interest. She finally asides to Connor, "I don't know that I even care who wins at this point." This is *good*...of course, now she wants to spar with both of them. A proper spar. Maybe she'll have to corner them afterwards. Or maybe just for ice cream. Anyone got any?

"What a reversal attempt!" Brandon calls out as Stardust attempts to reverse the hold that Kara puts on her. "But Supergirl breaks the hold and puts some distance between them... and slips in the mud... again." He can't help but chuckle at that. "Starfire lets Supergirl get back onto her feet." He's definitely loving this announcer duty job. "And Starfire leaps at her! What a leap!" He pauses for a moment, his voice lowering as he adds, "And what bodies..." He meant the last part to be just for him, but he forgot about the microphone.

Power Girl buys a ticket and a big bag of popcorn, donating an extra hundred to the ticket person with a smile. She attempts to enter the arena without anyone noticing her and finds a seat in the back, settling down with the snack.

Kara Zor-El responds to Kory's question about the glory of this 'battle' with, "I think I swallowed some mud.... blecch." She starts making 'yuck' faces... then she gets back up and turns around, just in time for Starfire to charge at her again. Kara's a bit more prepared this time, especially since Kori gave her time to get up first. When Starfire attempts to tackle Kara, she grabs her and flips her, so that Starfire goes over the ropes and hits into Roy. Kara wipes the mud out of her face as well as she can to see which end of Kori hit Roy. And to see if Roy's stunned and aghast or thanking whichever deity he prays to.

Kory flies through the air, bonking bum-first over into Roy. This motion accompanies her sarong tearing off, and sticking over to his face then, splattered over with the mud over of the pit. Starfire eeps, and goes, "Sorry friend Roy!" Then goes to fly back over towards Supergirl in the pit then, leaving the flimsy bottoms that she had wrapped around herself behind! Then going to once again skid towards Kara to try and wrestle her!

Roy actually shifts immediately at the incoming action, and...yep...he /catches/ Kori. And grunts as he goes down by not only the throw, but the fact that Starfire isn't exactly /light/ either - no offense to the lady - she's really damn tall and muscular! He gasps for breath, "Don't bust a nut, please." Considering he can just go up to Kori and ask for cuddles, no, he isn't overly excited about almost getting his balls busted one.

Power Girl snorts as she chews on her popcorn, watching the spectacle with amusement and murmurs to herself, "If anyone is going to end up naked... It'd be Starfire."

Brandon's eyes widen as Kara throws Kory into Roy. "Holy cow! Supergirl throws Starfire completely out of the ring and she lands on some lucky guy! But she's back up and flying back to the ring! There's definitely some envious fans out there!" He says into the microphone. He glances towards Roy once Kory is back in the ring, a hand covering the microphone as he speaks to the guy. "You alright?"

"My nuts...shall live. Not that I think I want to use them for a day or two. I've had worse," Roy says a bit roughly. There was that time while sparring with Donna...he doesn't like to think of that event. Instead, he starts to slowly pick himself up from behind the ring, mud on him now as well.

Conner has to stop himself from verbally agreeing with Karen, and then does a double take, attention away from Roy and the even less covered Starfire. Oh, great, just what everyone wants to happen at a mud wrestling event, a family reunion. Could be worse, at least it's not Clark.

She-Hulk blinks as Roy catches Kori. Bad move. Seriously. She's heavy AND more durable than he is...and now wearing rather less than 'family friendly' would indicate. She-Hulk can't help it...she grins a bit. Just a bit. Then she makes it go away as she glances over at Roy. Is...yeah, he's okay.

Kara Zor-El sticks out her tongue at Roy. Yeah, she totally did that to Roy on purpose. Totally. And then Starfire's back in the ring grappling with her. Kara holds her own this time. She doesn't even slip in the mud, but asks Kori while they're in the muddy embrace, hands slipping and sliding on each others arms and what-have-you, trying to get a good grip for another move, "How long do these things last anyway?"

Gambit pulls out a cigerette from his coat pocket and flips it into his mouth, catching it by the filter between his weathered lips. The Cajun lights the tip with a flick of his fingers. He smiles and watches with a renewed interest when Starfire has a warrobe malfunction and he has to wonder when the pretty blonde will have noe as well as billows of smoke escape through his nostrils.

Roy blinks, then whispers beneath his breath, "I'm going to get you back for that Kara. Just wait and see. I understand, Kori wanted to share a new receipe of hers with someone." Ooooh, that's an evil threat!" Course, only Kryptonian hearing or something similar could pick it up. But Roy finishes getting to his feet, and wonders if he will have to hose himself down and use the showers...but he doesn't want to use the sweet smelling stuff!

Starfire glances over at Supergirl as the two wriggled and wrestled in a test of strength, "I am unsure. most of the exhjibitions I watched tended to replay them in slow motion, so it was difficult to say how long they went on for." As she and Kara press for leverage, KOry goes to attempt to use a judo toss on Kara to try and splish her into the mud again!

Power Girl looks towards Conner, she dips her chin slightly, acknowledging his existence. Then her attention is redirected at the wrestling, further ignoring Superboy. She chews on her popcorn, leaning back in the seats in a relaxed manner.

Brandon nods and returns his attention to the ring after checking up on Roy. "It looks like Starfire and Supergirl are grappling for position, who is going to come out on top?" He asks as the two women continue with their test of strength.

Kara Zor-El does get flipped over into the mud, then brings her foot up into Starfire's stomach while still holding onto Kori's hand which was used to flip her... and Kori also goes flipping over into the mud near her. "Just asking because I'm really feeling blecch about the mud. "She loops her legs around Kori's midsection quickly and locks the ankles to try to make it a bit tougher for Starfire to wriggle out with her slippery mud-coated body. "And did Roy say they're using a hose?"

Supergirl gets a nod up from Starfire, "Yes, I believe that was his point." Supergirl is sitting atop her and has her in an anklelock, which would be difficult to get out of in this state without violating the spirit fo the match. Starfire wriggles about, putting on a show of it, then gets an idea. Going to try and yoink at Kara's tearaway wrap to then try and flip it up to her face!

Conner Kent winces at the throw. Well, the girls are certainly making more of a fight of it than the last one of these Conner saw. And then Starfire's reaching for the wrap. He shoots another glare at Roy's thinning eyebrow, considering giving him the Matt Smith look. That or an artificial receding hairline.

The bikini more then covers everything! Geez! And the mud covers even more! Can't see a single indecent thing. It's just...suggestive. Though Roy is currently busing raising a mud covered hand to touch his nose and eyes the bit of blood there. No, he is not an anime character! "Man," he grumbles. Now he has a muddy, bloody nose. Many guys in the audience is still jealous of him. They be crazy.

Kara Zor-El is, unlike Starfire, not WANTING to be naked when this is all over. So when the sarong is pulled off by Starfire and flipped over to her face, she lets go off the ankle-lock, grabs the sarong, and flies to the other side of the ring corner. "Hey nonono,, not doing that!" She quickly ties the sarong back around her waist after getting some distance from Starfire.

Starfire grins over, her having gotten free then. She lets Kara tie it about herself, then goes to wait for Kara to get ready for her next attack, "Friend Supergirl, I migth think that you were not enjoying this as much as I!" Kory twirled, then going to let Kara go on the next attack as she waited.

Brandon smiles to himself as he watches the fight. "Supergirl flipped Starfire in the mud! And she's got her in a leg lock! How will Starfire ever get out of that?!" He raises an eyebrow and tilts his head aside slightly at the wiggling as she tries to get out of it. "And there goes part of Supergirl's costume!" He exclaims as the sarong is pulled away. "Supergirl lets go of Starfire and fixes her costume. That's too bad. Starfire seems to be toying with poor Supergirl."

And Roy, is now choking on laughter as he goes to flee to the other side of the gym now...which he was halfway there anyway. Yep, getting out of attack range! Retreat! Retreat! It isn't like the wrap does much, it was sheer to begin with, and has a binkini bottom beneath it. but mud covered, one can suppose it is no longer exactly sheer.

Conner covers his eyes again, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. "You could try throwing the fight, if you really want it over," is whispered lower than a breath. And then Roy's running out of range for Superboy to be able to accomplish anything via heat vision. Oh well. He takes a moment to check out Kori, because, well, she's there, and hot.

Gambit smiles when he sees Starfire try to disrobe the blonde, "Dats my girl.." he mutters then frowns when Kara goes to such lengths to get her clothing back on. His attention goes over to the area the money from the ticket sales and betting is held. He wonders how much effort it'd be to steal the lock box with all the money, "Charity mon ami.." he murmurs and smiles as he turns his focus back to the ring. At least the orange girl is only partially dressed though caked in mud to hide any real indicent bits.

Kara Zor-El looks over at Conner in the audience with a 'yeah right' look, then runs at Starfire and.... no she doesn't try to tackle her, instead she slides into the mud UNDER and past her, grabbing Kori's legs as she does so and yanking them out from beneath her so that it's Kori's turn to take a mud bath again. She then gets on Kori's BACK this time and grabs both of her arms to pull them behind her while, again, straddling her. "Say.... " what's the term again Kara? "Say 'Uncle', Kori!" she says. Why is that a term of submission anyway? Uncle = Submit? And for that matter why is 'mud' sexy???

Power Girl keeps to herself in the back row as she watches the wrestling, she doesn't speak up or shout, not really wanting to draw attention to herself. She shovels handful after handful of popcorn into her mouth, chewing happily.

Starfire has had this done to her before, and so she knows the way out of it. "No, I do not wish to go visit my relatives anytime soon friend Kara." At this point, she goes to swing her legs up and over behind her back, bending them nearly parallel with her upper body as it was squished into the ground, trying to yank them up about Kara's neck to scissor them alon gand slap her down into the mat wtih a move that Nightwing tuaght her!

Roy finished moving from one wall of the gym, finished getting knocked down by Starfire at the ring and as a result a bloody nose, and now over on the far wall of the gym. He rubs one eyebrow, wondering why it feels funny. He's muddy of course from the backside contact with Starfire to his front when he caught her - not his wisest move. But dang, the sliding, the movement, and Kara sitting on top..., and..., "I know that move!" Oh yes, he does.

The crowd is going wild!

This is a lot of fun. She-Hulk, though, doesn't stand up. Why? Because if she did, NOBODY behind her would be able to see. So, she just sits there, grinning entirely too much at the wrestling match. Next to poor, innocent Conner. Seriously, SHE thinks he's innocent.

"Sure, ignore me again," Conner whispers, shaking his head a little. He doesn't really get the mud bit either. Well, at least not well enough to explain it to someone.

Brandon continues to call out the match, giving a play-by-play report as the two women covered in mud continue to go back and forth. As Starfire scissor kicks Kara down to the mud, he stands from amazement. "Wow! What a stunning move! Starfire has wrapped her legs around Supergirl's neck and brought her back down into the mud! Can Supergirl recover from this?!"

A bit late, a little green bee buzzes in, louder than it ought to be, not to mention the fact it's speaking English. "Hey guys, sorry I was late. I've been busy.." Get it? "..and WHOA! Look at them go!" Beast Boy's spotted the muddy women in there, Roy among them somehow. "Are you sure this is legal?"

Kara Zor-El frowns and then wraps HER legs around Kori's neck in another ankle lock, then grabs the legs that were wrapping around her own head and pushes them down into the mud. "Say it! Say it say it say it!" Little squeeze to show she means business, "Don't want to play in the mud anymore Kori!"

Whether it's legal or not, it's POPULAR.

At this point, Kory recognizes that Kara is getting distressed, annoyed, and does not want to go on further. So, Kory does over what she is told, then yells out, "It! It! It!" And slaps her hand on the side of the mudbox to show that she has accepted Kara's victory.

Brandon sits back down in his seat as Kara and Kory both have each other in the ankle locks. "They've got each other in ankle holds! Who is going to submit first?!" As Kory taps out, he rings the bell to signal the match is over before he picks up the microphone and moves to the ring to announce the winner once the two women have separated from each other and back onto their feet. He kicks off his shoes before he steps into the mud with the two. "Ladies and Gentlemen. We have your winner." He takes Kara's wrist to raise it above her head to signify she won. "Supergirl! Let's give them both a hand for the great job they both have done."

Beast Boy ends up sitting down near the others, back to normal in his Titans attire. At the sight of Kara doing that to Kory his jaw hangs open for just a moment before he says, "After that, I think I can guess what a walnut must feel like."

Gambit frowns a bit annoyed at Kory's submitting, "Well, dat was worthless." he pulls out the Starfire bet stub and tosses it away, "Guess its over den." he looks over to one of the skylights and slowly scales towards it to avoid the crowd of people trying to head for the exits.

"Man," he lost his bet. He then eyes the bee, but makes a Shooing motion. he is dressed casually as Roy. No point in a whole bunch of Titans recognizing him. He goes to pick up the hose to carry it out back, a plastic cover on the gym floor all the way there. "Take your admiration, then we will hose the worse off, and then to the shower girls. I made sure to get you the good stuff for the showers."

The crowd is clapping and yelling out sounds of appreciation, even some of the women that arrived are into it. One screams, "Best mud fight evar! Totally! This one looked real, and no slapping! Awesome!"

As the match finishes up, Conner looks over to the rather tall green woman beside him. Was she serious about challenging the winner? This night might go on for a while long if she was.

She-Hulk can't read Conner's mind. Instead, she leans forward. "Good fight." They actually both did it without resorting to slaps. Or hair. Usually, women resort to hair...which would have probably meant Kara won, given just how much of Starfire's there is to grab.

Hey! Her hair is only proportional to her upper body mass. By 'proportional' we mean 'equivalent'. Starfire settles on the ground then as she watches the crowd, "I think they appreciate your victory, friend Supergirl!"

Kara Zor-El releases Starfire when she gives up... then she sits in the mud and tries to wipe some of it out of her face. When Brandon holds her hand up in victory after she stands up, she smiles a little... albeit still wanting to get out of the dang mud at this point. For those who were here to see this fight, it's a good thing for them because it's unlikely Kara's going to ever agree to something like this again now that she knows better. She looks over at Starfire. "Sorry.. the mud was just really getting to me." then back to the crowd with a smile and wave with her other hand.

Starfire smiles over at Supergirl, "It is okay! Friend Roy said that he would help clean us off when we finished!" That is said and Conner can probably pick it up then. Oh yes, there will probably be things to pay for the erstwhile member of the Titans Senior Team later on after this now as Starfire gives a bow to the crowd, and then to the victorious Supergirl.

Power Girl shakes her head, she stands and picks up her empty container of popcorn. With one last glance at Conner and then Kara, she heads for the exit.

Brandon lets go of Kara's hand. "Thank you all for coming out and we hope you enjoyed the show." He turns off the microphone before he looks to Kara. "That was a really good match and I think you did great." He offers to the girl before he moves over to Starfire and offers a hand to her. "Thank you for helping with the event. You did a great job." He says, offering a smile.

Beast Boy deadpans toward Conner, "I might've got here late but I think I should've gone with something else instead of my costume." He shifts positions slightly, clearing his throat.

Front exit is where most people are leaving by, Roy and the girls though are the back exit to the basketball court. "You want to get clean, right? Brandon, talk to them while they get the worse off. I've been in stuff like this before, it likes to find places you never realized you had." Don't ask, it was during a co-op mission for Checkmate. In either case, this is where Roy offers to hose the worse of the mud off when the girls arrive and are ready, "You like cherry bloosom Supergirl? I got that and Lavender in the gym showers. Area is restricted, so all yours." He's still muddy of course, and there is some blood mixed with mud beneath his nose.

Conner immediately has a 'Oh like hell he is' face. It only lasts for a second, but he pushes to his feet, giving a polite nod of his head to She-Hulk. "Nice to meet you, ma'am," he says, and heads for the exist. Conner, for his part, is in full Conner Kent mode, with the black framed glasses and flannel shirt. Beast Boy gets a nod. "Might have been a good idea, sir," he says, and slips out through the front. A couple seconds later, Superboy floats down in the trademark (literally) Superboy t-shirt and jeans. It's not the most distinctive look, but the fact that it appears 20 feet off the ground leaves little quibbling about who it might be. "Hey, Roy, thought you might need some help," Kon-El says through a smile far too firm to be genuine.

Beast Boy stares after Conner as he takes off to go assist. He looks, for lack of a better term, whomperjawed. "Did he just call me 'sir?' I /know/ he didn't just call me 'sir.' That's just wrong."

Kara Zor-El trudges off towards the showers, stopping by Roy. "Roy?.... a word please?" then gets ahold of his shirt and keeps walking to the showers.

Starfire glances over at Kara then, "But we can wash our backs ourselves.." Then she shrugs over, and goes to float back over towards the showers then. But watching over at Roy, waiting for the obvious copu de wedgie he's going to receive.

She-Hulk glances up at the boy in the...non-costume...and then spots Kara drag Roy off by his shirt. Assuming the shirt holds. Rolling her eyes, she stands up (the poor chair creaks audibly, even more so for the Kryptonians). She starts to head towards the door, whistling.

Roy turns to look at a creepy Superboy. He looks vaguely confused, "Ooooh kay. If you really want to hose the worse off so they can go jump in the showers, that's fine with me Superboy. Help yourself. You don't have to be creepy if you really want to hold the hose. I just need it back afterwards so I can clean up too, I still have to clean the mess up in the gym yet." No, Roy doesn't really get why Superboy is being so creepy.

But then his shirt is grabbed in the front and he eeps. "Umm...Supergirl," and dragged to the showers by a muddy Kara, "Hose off first, I got to mop this up later, ah man!" He better keep walking unless he wants to be dragged! Well, Superboy gets to hose off Starfire at least! Or maybe not.

Starfire gives a wave as the crowd goes to depart, shifting back and floating then to glance at Conner, "Are you going to help debrief Roy?" For once, she means that in the near literal sense.

"Pull 'em over his head, maybe," Conner says, and looks after Kara and Roy. "Kara, hold on," he says, gesturing for her to hold on for just a moment. "Give me your hand." He turns to look at Starfire, and then looks up to actually look her in the face, holding out a hand for hers as well, muttering something about "I really hope Cassie appreciates this."

Starfire extends her hand out to Conner hten to take, after passing a glance over at him and then turning to Roy as well, "I believe if she were here, she would be most enthusiastic upon helping!" To hang Roy, still in his briefs, from a flagpole.

Kara Zor-El stops walking when Conner asks, which is good since she -was- going to drag him into the shower if need be, still gripping Roy's shirt. She does another 'pfft pfft' with her mouth to get the mud away from her lips again. Long pause. ".... yes?"

"This isn't funny! I got more clean-up to do now, you two were supposed to get the worse off before walking to the back, I even had towels outside...," but then he realizes something is up, "Oooooooh....umm....," and Kara is mad about something. Clueless Roy.

When Kara pauses, Roy raises his arms over his head and slips down and out of his t-shirt! He then starts to run for it for the back door! And boy can that guy move quick! Well, for a human. He finally figured out that Kara is annoyed and he is high tailing it out of there!

Kon reaches for Kara's hand, still holding Star's. "Let me handle the mud real fast, then Roy's all yours," he says. Poor Roy, Conner's in his path and his feet stick to the ground as he tries to get past.

Power Girl stops outside, she looks up at the building, lips pursed in thought. People pass her by, openly gawking at the super heroine, but she ignores them for the most part. After a moment she lifts off from the ground, clearing away from the people below. Suddenly she takes off at incredible speeds, easily breaking the sound barrier and accelerating far past it. This causes a very loud sonic boom that rattles the windows of buildings up and down the street. Especially the community center.

Starfire yelps as the sonic boom goes past, and as Roy goes out rushing in terror, she waves bye-bye at him! Then shrugs, and heads over into the showers alone, after grabbing a rubber ducky first and vniashing.

Kara Zor-El stands there and looks at Kon after Roy slips out of the shirt... only to find himself held fast by Conner's Tactile Telekinesis. Deep breath. "Fine... I can't believe I'm going to say this but.... hose me." She looks up as Power Girl flies off.

"You cheating son of a...," Roy catches the rest of his upcoming foul language toward Kon. He was going to say supervillain, honestly! He wincdes when community center windows rattle, "What the...," and then his eyes narrow, "Superboy, for lecturing me to let Kara make her own decisions, you /really/ like to interfere with hers, huh? Nice double standards." This is why having super friends isn't always cool. And Brandon is likely wondering what the hell is going on, unless he ran away earlier to avoid clean-up. "Oh, I can't, but I'm sure Superboy will looove too, after you already gave me more mopping to do. It's not like I really have help in the clean-up guys." And he hasn't asked. He ran the event, he will clean it up.

Kara Zor-El would rub the bridge of her nose but didnt want to get more mud on her. "Okay... let him go. I really want to get clean."

"I'm not here for Kara, she chose to be here, I'm honoring that. I've been here since the start, and you'll note I didn't interfere until you took my minor cousin out back to hose her down." When the girls try to leave he just sighs, and reaches out, grabbing their hands. The mud (that hasn't slipped into the suits) immediately flies off. If more than should be possible hits Roy, well... that's strange, huh? Roy's feet are freed and Conner nods to Kara. "If you want to talk after, I can hang around," he offers, leaving it up to the girl.

Kara Zor-El shakes her head. "No... no I'm going to just head out. This was different." Small grin. She shakes her finger at Roy, "And you..... mfff!" She then adds, "Sorry about the nose." Then burst of superspeed and she's gone.

"It's a hose! I've hosed my daughter down before when she played in the mud. Where is your mind? I just wanted less...," he wants to cry, "Mop job. Get the hell out of here Superboy, /now/." He actually sounds pissed right now. How is he supposed to get where it splattered high up on the walls?! Kara may not hear that Roy is about to lose it on Superboy bad.

Starfire would help clean if she was asked! But she pokes her head out of the showers now, "Do you need some assistance?" She's got a towel wrapped around her, and her rubber ducky is sitting atop her head, using her hair as a nest.

Superboy sighs, and looks at the mess "I'll help with the cleanup," he offers, his anger seemingly spent, even as Roy's is building. "I can at least get the stuff there's no way you'll reach," he says. When Star comes out in the towel, he hesitates for a moment. "You can finish up cleaning yourself first," he says, giving her a nod and getting the mud off the ceiling with another application of TTK.

"Get out," Roy grounds out. There is no room for argument as his teeth grit. "I was /not/ going to do something sexual to Kara with a hose you idiot! Get out!" To make matters worse...Roy lies to himself all the time about being over his crush on Supergirl...but a hose?! And then he starts to walk toward the showers himself. His nose is still bleeding, and still covered in mud. Screw it, he can smell like lavender. "Help me Kori." Because Roy needs someone to calm him down right now. And normally Roy wouldn't permit Kori being in the showers with him at the same time, curtain or not...but he knows it will be non-sexual for her, and he needs her calmness.

Starfire recognizes that Roy is upset, then turns to Conner and Kara, "I will help wtih the cleanup, it will be fine. You two, go shoo." The rubber ducky lets ou tan affirmative honk.. Even though no one is touching it over at the timje as it bounces up in her hair, somehow staying in place. Kory goes over to fly to help Roy wtih cleanup, the towel probsably dropping over as she floats over to scrub at the ceiling as she hums the Bathtime Song.

"You could have let her know what she was getting herself into," Conner says. "She didn't have the first idea when she volunteered to help, and she was miserable in that ring, Roy," he says to the retreating Roy. Then Starfire's floating out, in a towel, in a loosening towel. He hesitates for a moment, and then he's /gone/, a blur out the door just before the towel gives in to gravity.
