"I hate these stupid missions." thought Sea-King. "Right now I could be...no...should be on the throne of Atlantis, feasting and enjoying the games." He could almost see the faces of the loyal subject who had been selected to receive the great honor of dying for their king's entertainment.
"Contact." called out Seer, her voice like an icy stiletto piercing Sea-King's brain. "Four bio-signatures twenty two meters due north."
"I hate her most of all." thought the Tyrant of Atlantis as he was lifted off the ground.
Without a word, the winged figures grabbed their companions and shot into the air, flying swiftly northward.

1) King Condor grabs Sea-King and flies to E15, placing Sea-King in D16.

Story: "Two fliers; looks like the Condors. Seems to be the Sea King, and ... I don't know the other one. They're coming forward." Calculator signed off of the team's short frequency communicator. To himself he was trying to figure out who the fourth member of the Syndicate team was. He thought he knew everything about every member of the Crime Syndicate, but apparently he had been wrong.

Seer was tracking the movements of the bio-signatures she had detected, but her mind was on her companions.
"Fools!" she thought. "Ridiculous, arrogant fools! So smug, so secure in their so-called power. They don't know what true power is. The power of information!"
For a moment, her thoughts turned inward. She once again tried to reach back, to find some memory from the time before the accident that had robbed her of the use of her legs.
"Nothing." she thought bitterly. "I can access any information system in the world, but my own memories are denied me.
And for an instant, unnoticed by her teammates, her cold, emotionless facade cracked. She felt the sting of a tear forming in the corner of her eye.
The instant passed and she was Seer once more. And she vowed to herself to never feel helpless again.

"Shayera, Sea-King, get over to the next island. I need eyes on the two who disappeared into the rubble." ordered King Condor.
As Queen Condor picked up Sea-King and shot across the water, she thought: "So strong, so commanding! I chose well when I seduced King Condor. Never again will I be enslaved, forced to be a "companion". Or prostitute, as they are know in less polite circles. The Emperor of Thanagar had no compassion for orphans, especially female orphans. But that will change when our exile ends. When we return to Thanagar, the Emperor will fall, King Condor will rule, and I shall be Queen. None will ever dare mock me again."
Syndicate turn 3
1) Seer uses THE MYSTERY OF THE ORACLE to gain PERPLEX. Seer PERPLEX Queen Condor's +1.
2) Queen Condor grabs Sea-King and flies to L10, placing Sea-King in M9.
Story: "I've partially hacked their comm frequency, but I'm still being shut out. They have someone with them.. wait.. could it be? Is the seer actually here?! They're moving forward to engage, Lex. Meet them and take them down! I must know who the Seer is!" Calculator was almost ready to leap forward into battle himself at this point. He had been trying to discover the identity of the Crime Syndicate's hacker for years with no luck, and now of all times she had fallen right into his lap.
Actions:
Free) Calculator will perplex all friendlies +1
Free) Lex Luthor will Perplex Deathstroke +1
Free) Deathstroke will outwit King Condor's flight ability.
Free) Calculator will use Obsessive to outwit Queen Condor's Charge. You have three Justice League keyword members so my roll will be -3, I need a 7 to avoid damage. 2d6 roll is a 2+2=4, Calculator takes 1 unavoidable damage.

(Are Justice League of America and Justice League considered the same keyword? If not, I only have two characters that share a common keyword. It doesn't make a difference this time, but it might next. )
"Calculator is trying to hack our communications." said Seer matter-of-factly.
"Can you keep him out?" asked King Condor.
"Of course. We may experience some static, but I can rewrite encryptions faster than he can break them."
"This guy moves faster than a sailfish!" exclaimed Sea-King as Deathstroke narrowly dodged his punch.
"It's Deathstroke!" cried Queen Condor into her headset microphone. "We're falling back."
Carrying Sea-King once more, she rocketed behind a collapsed building on yet another island.
King Condor smiled grimly. "This is what I was born to do." he thought. "To lead my soldiers into battle and crush our enemies underfoot, dispensing death at my whim. I was the greatest general Thanagar had ever know, until that fool of an emperor let his fear and jealousy overcome him. He exiled me to this backward planet, thinking I'd die at the hands of these barbarians. He'll soon learn his folly. After I've helped the Crime Syndicate subdue this planet, I will lead them to Thanagar, and the emperor will die painfully. There will be many casualties, but a great general knows that all his troops are expendable. Even you, dear Shayera."
Story: "Looks like they're moving back. Everyone form up; we'll get them on their next charge."
Wilson heard Calculator's last message chirping in his communicator. He would be the spearhead of the formation with the others flanking him. Let the murderous dogs come, he would kill them all.
"Form up? Haha yeah right, I'm going in to take out these idiots." With that Jason moved forward along the western front
Actions:

Free) Deathstroke will Outwit King Condor's Charge.
Free) Lex will Perplex Red Hood +1
1.) Calculator will move to G06

"You dare to lay hands on me without leave?!" roared Sea-King. "I am the King of Atlantis! I run from no man!"
"More like King of Idiots!" shot back Queen Condor. "That was Deathstroke. If you'd read the file on the Society, you'd know how dangerous he is. He would have gutted you like a tuna!"
"Enough! Both of you!" came the commanding voice of King Condor over the comm link. "No one will be gutted until I decide it's necessary. Queen Condor made the right call. I need to know who we're up against. Who was the other one?"
"I-I don't know," stammered Queen Condor. "He was hiding behind Deathstroke and I couldn't get a look at him."
"That is...disappointing," said King Condor sternly. After a short pause, he added, "Stand down and be ready to move. On my orders only."
"Seer, with me." As the woman in the high tech wheel chair moved closer, King Condor picked her up and flew to meet Red Hood head on.
Syndicate turn 5
1) Seer moves to D16.
2) King Condor grabs Seer and flies to E10, placing Seer in D10.
Story:
"Damnit Jason! What were you thinking?" Wilson yelled into his comm as he rushed out of cover. "Lex, put a shield up around him! I'm on the way over to help."
"Give me a second to recalibrate from you to him...Ok, I've got it. He's shielded. Be careful over there Wilson, that Condor is no joke."
"Noah, I need something to protect us. We've broken formation and we're vulnerable." "Not a problem, I've got just the thing."
With all the right orders in place Wilson was on the move. He leaped from cover with a forward summersault and hit the ground with another forward roll to carry his momentum into the shallow water. He knew the water would slow him down and work to his enemies' advantage, but he had to get to Jason and provide backup.

"Seer, which way is he going to dodge?" King Condor whispered.
"Surveillance archives show Red Hood dodges first attacks 82% of the time to the left." Seer whispered back.
King Condor feinted to the right then expertly swung his morning star to the left...away from Red Hood. He grunted as his weapon smashed into the pillar next to him, sending a painful jolt through his hands and arms.
"Just my luck," he thought, "the kid picks now to break his routine."
Syndicate turn 6
1) Push. Seer uses THE MYSTERY OF THE ORACLE to gain PROBABILITY CONTROL. No pushing damage due to WILLPOWER.
2) Push. King Condor CLOSE COMBAT EXPERT Red Hood. 8 vs. 17+2 (PERPLEX). Roll: 3+6=9. Miss! Seer PC re-roll: 6+2=8. Miss. King Condor takes 1 pushing damage.
Seer will PC the first successful attack she can see.

If I understand ENERGY EXPLOSION correctly, Red Hood would also be subject to the attack, and would take damage and knock back as well.
Also, if I understand knock back correctly, all three characters would be knocked back diagonally, so King Condor would be knocked back to D11, Seer to C11, and Red Hood to D12.
Let me know what you think. If I'm right, and you want to change your turn, feel free. I await a ruling.
Crap... I've been playing EE wrong for about 9 years now......... :/ wow.. If I had realized that I would have just done the regular attack targeting Condor instead. But yes, knock back will be in a diagnal I looked at the map wrong on my phone, but Red Hood and Condor will ignore the knockback due to having Charge on the click in which they took damage. I didn't outwit charge until afterward.
So basically, I posted all of this early this morning while I was still half asleep; from my phone where I couldn't read stuff well or see the map well, and because of it I basically screwed everything up lol If you concur I would like to make the following changes to my turn.
1.) Red Hood still charges and misses his attack.
2.) Deathstroke, instead of the EE, makes a standard ranged attack onto condor hits with the 8 for two damage, but doesn't knockback due to Condor having Charge.
3.) Deathstroke will then outwit Condor's charge at the end of the turn, and everyone is still in their same squares they started in (except for Red Hood who charged to attack.)
Is this acceptable, or would you like to continue along with the EE? In that case this would happen:
1.) Red Hood charges and misses Oracle.
2.) EE from Deathstroke hits everyone, but only knocks back Oracle due to the other two having charge.
3.) Deathstroke then outwits Condor's charge, and Oracle is in C11.
It's up to you since I messed everything up lol

Here's my revised turn and re-written story to reflect it Sorry about all this, it's been a long day. A five hour bus ride at 7am to two baseball games, and then another 5 hour bus ride home has taken its toll on my cognitive functions lol
Turn 6B
Story:
"Guys, seriously, chill. I've got this, you can go back to squatting in your bush or something old man."
"Old man?! I've been fighting and killing these fools since you were in diapers!"
"Yeah, exactly... Oh, and if you could throw a shot or two over my shoulder to cover this move that'd be cool, thanks." and with that Jason rolled from cover and past the reaching arms of King Condor toward... Barbara?
"What the Hell, Barb?! You were dead! I saw you get shot in the back!" But she just smirked back at him in response. He didn't have time to think about it now, he rushed forward with a reverse kick aimed at the chair's nearest wheel, but his kick connected with a force field a foot short. The jarring impact sent him off balance for a second and he fell back. "Jason, what did you say? Who is Barb?"
"Barbara Gordon, the Owlgirl Jokester shot and paralyzed by accident. Apparently she's here with the Syndicate," Lex said into his comm. "Wilson, he's going to need some cover."
"Got it. I don't know why I help the kid... but he's got spirit. I'll give him that atleast." Wilson pulled out a mini grenade launcher from a pouch at his waist and attached it to his gun. Taking aim at King Condor he fired.
Jason felt a heat wave roll over him as the grenade exploded directly into King Condor's chest. When the smoke and fire cleared Jason could see King condor still standing; his wings had been scorched a bit, and his avian helmet was a bit blackened, but if looks could kill the one aimed at Jason right then would have done it. He crouched into a more appropriate battle stance and squared up to the Avian Tyrant.
"Hey Wilson, the kid kind of reminds me of you at that age." Lex spoke into a private channel between himself and the Mercenary. All he got in response was a grunt and "Hmph.." He chuckled to himself at the gruff Merc. He knew the older man had a soft spot for his new protege', even though he would never admit it himself. "Jason, I've traced the Seer's signal. It is coming from around your location. I'm guessing that it is this Barbara, I need you to take her out so that I can scramble their comms and shut down any tech they have here."
"I'll do what I can, I've got Big Bird in my way at the moment though."
Wilson popped in, "Then pluck the bird, and take out the girl. We need to get out of here before reinforcements arrive."
Actions:
Free) Calculator will Perplex everyone +1
Free) Lex will Perplex Red Hood +1
Free) Deathstroke will Outwit Condor's Charge.
1.) Jason will attempt a breakaway and charge to E11. Roll is a 4, success. Attacks Oracle rolls a 3, miss.
2.) Deathstroke will push and attack King Condor with a ranged combat attack, rolls a 4+4=8 for the hit, Condor ignores knockback with Charge. Uses Willpower to ignore push damage.
