"I meant no insult!" Dodge ball of lava. "I don't intend to interfere, you said no!" Dodge house-sized spear of ice. "I'm leaving peacefully, okay, so stop tearing up the tile!"
"You'll respawn at home. No permanent damage. You interrupted an important meeting, you need to learn a lesson about territory, mountain bitch." Dodge- no, fail to dodge a thrown tree, and then another ice ball. The next sphere of magma is what destroyed that form.
She wakes up, stripped of all her tools and enchantments and even clothes, and groans in pain.
Her ability to track it works for about half an hour until it realizes what she's doing and sends fake holes-in-the-water in every direction.
At least they're helping. Right?
(Is Mountain getting much publicity yet for being a highly visible rogue who shows up to Endbringer fights? She imagines the places she builds might get some tourism value from being built by a parahuman.)
(She's getting some publicity, but not a whole lot—Endbringer fights are never recorded and it's only word-of-mouth that spreads it.)
Now that she has a steady stream of money rolling in and a reasonably built-up base, she wants to start doing a little more heroing. It's slightly weird not to be considered a force of nature, so she wants the publicity. Laura is to either find her things to hero at in roughly equal proportion to more jobs, or hire someone to do same. Preferring things like dealing with storms and floods and earthquakes and bridge collapses than shutting down villains, though both could definitely feature.
If she wants to do actual solo heroing as a career, though, she'll need to register as an independent hero.
She focuses on preventing harm or recovering stolen things even if this lets the villain themselves get away, and is almost always successful at minimizing damage.
Money and popularity all around. She makes a few villain fight videos of her own, publishes pictures of disaster-relieved zones, and so on, and pretty much settles in to the pace of the world. Occasionally she makes overtures to various non-Africa governments, offering to do infrastructure stuff like more hydro dams, roads, ports, on the cheap by reason of 'infrastructure is fun'.
...Somewhere in western Africa, a man with the lower body of a horse appears. He looks around confusedly, mutters something in a completely unknown language, makes himself a sunfruit tree and eats one, and flies off in a random direction, trailing vegetation below him.
He considers 'killing himself' so as to respawn in a place he actually knows. But, no, the energy tells him that he would never find this place again. It's a once in a lifetime chance for something new and interesting.
Will nobody talk to him?
How irritating. He dodges it. Vines and so on start to spring up near the thrower, grabbing at them.
"I just want to talk to someone, explore a bit, is this really necessary?" Of course, they don't understand him.
His roots decline to be shredded until either whoever that is surfaces, or he gets bored and starts flying away.
He'd just leave, but this... Person, attacked him out of nowhere and might do it again. Roots start moving inward, still in their thick multilayered weave, reducing the amount of underground space available.
