You appear in the darkness. As you look around you see a bright light. before you can move.
"$name don't take another step." you freeze "I know you don't have a mouth but can you at least look at me."
You look left,
then right,
You look down and see a child wearing a veil and robes.
"Normally id hit you for that but I'm trying to be nice. Down here."
"Look I get this is confusing and I'm sorry if my stupid sister was here she would do some cryptic stuff and that's not helpful. Let us see hmm $name. Also, you died sorta no you don't get to remember but you were betrayed and I didn't get there in time. You are being awoken as we speak that's why the lights getting brighter."
You start to get blinded by the light. A vision appears it comes too fast to focus on. You see a Jail then a Courtroom. Noah screaming. Lady Justice's hand on your shoulder. Then it's gone.
The child continues "I looked into the future to see your life and boy you are in the thick of it. So many paths are open for you. And who you were before will be forever changed.
We will meet again but not like this. I wish you luck on your journey. Your memories will come back in time. Some will be confusing and will be from your other lifetimes.
Anyway as the Watcher I must leave for now. I'm sorry $name for not being their last time."
As the light gets brighter the Watcher hugs you as tight as they can
You can hardly hear what they say
"Goodbye Devonia"
[[Next|15]]<h1>POV- Leo Walker</h1>\
<h4>Date- Augest 23, 2001</h4>\
<h4>Location- Penthouse uptown New York</h4>\
Leo lens against the balcony railing. The penthouse was a last-minute buy. But it's completely furnished. The only thing is that whoever last owned it really loved black. Of course, Alice changed it around so now it's got a pink look with the black. Leo hears the door behind him slide open. Then a long sharp whistle. "Just WOW like, this place is awesome. I guess I can't convince you to come back to Apollo Gate."
Leo lets out a laugh and turns around to see her pouting. "Not this time Rose."
The tall woman opens to speak. Leo puts a hand up.
"Rose you know why. I'm done." Leo looks away not able to maintain eye contact. Rose Lens against the railing pulling out a pack of cigarettes.
Rose lights one and takes a drag. Rose reaches into her inside pocket and pulls out a card. Leo looks at her with a curious look. Rose smirks. "At least keep this, use it for emergencies."
Leo's eyes widen "Wait Juno approved of this." Rose laughs.
Leo takes the golden card with red stripes. Leo can't help but smile Juno was like Rose after well the incident. They protected him like two older sisters. Unlike someone who should have.
Rose's words and her metal zipper hitting the railing brings Leo back "We all did especially since you told us about Alice. No one will find out, Hero or Villain. Besides you never hurt anyone. That was the beauty of nullification weapons. Anyways I need to get going, but I will visit from time to time if that's alright."
Leo's face brightens "Of course you idiot." Leo pulls Rose into a bear hug. Rose practically swallows him hole by her size. Leo is comforted by her. If things were different he would. No, he stops that thought. It's the right thing to do.
Leo sees Rose get into her car across the street from his balcony. Leo also sees a group of young heroes flying to the Hawks tower. He smiles hoping that Alice will find a place she belongs. Alice wants to be a hero and Leo tried to give that to her at Apollo Gate but too many things kept popping up.
Leo's blood runs cold as he hears footsteps behind him. He closes his eyes.
Click Click Click the footsteps stop. Leo does not turn around because he knows who it is yet it's not her, because when he does she will be gone. Before he can move he hears a voice
"Hey Dad, got the food." Leo's face twitches, and he wipes the tear that got lost on his sleeve. He smiles and walks over to his daughter. Leo was never a tall man he was always small but his daughter got her height from her Mother. Alice would be the depiction of an Amazon.
"I saw Aunt Rose she tackled me into a hug. Aunt Rose said she would be back soon. I got held up by some idiot hero who tried to stop three villains." Leo Freezes know what Alice is capable of.
"Were you seen, Alice?" Alice sighs and then pulls out two villain masks and signet rings out on the glass table. With the signet rings coated in blood
"No, but they left me no choice."Alice speaks calmly before Leo can say anything.
Leo sighs he looks away "Shit." Leo pulls out his phone. "Dad who are you calling?" Leo looks at her "Someone I never wanted to talk to again."
<<button "Continue""7">><</button>><!--[[7]]--><h1>Pov- Aspen</h1>\
<h4>Date- October 12, 1997</h4>\
<h4>Location- Outside the Ai Core</h4>\
Planes and Powered people fly overhead moving toward the Ai core. The machines should not be prepared because of the destruction in the west front.
When you move to the front multiple missile lunch. Planes are shot down then you see a missile coming toward you. You use a forcefield to misdirect it. It goes toward the machines.
//BOOM!!//
You see a piece of sharp metal coming towards you. No not you, Vanessa. You take off to get her out of the way.
"Watch out!!!" you yell tackling Vanessa out of the way. As you try to get up your legs give out. You see fellow heroes and even the villains on the ground dead. The Avat Iperoid was prepared.
A hand touches you, and you flench. "Hey, it's just me dear." Vannessa looks at you with a soft smile. You calm as you hear her voice. "They knew," you state dryly. Vannessa lets out a chuckle. You squint your eyes at her. She shrugs and gets up. You noticed blood running down her side.
"Shit, your bleeding." you move to touch her. She stops you "I know who did it, Aspen." You follow her eyes. Blaze is standing with a sinister smile. He walks towards them pulling out his blades. His respirator is steady breathing. Vanessa leans her head back "fuck me. Aspen goes on to the reactor. I'll hold this shit off." You want to say something to her. The last time they fought she nearly died." Vannessa turns to look at you. "Survive. That's your job got it." She cups your check before darting towards Blaze.
You run towards the core entrance the ground is no longer green but covered in blood and dirt. Weaving past the robots fighting your friends you see the entrance a normal person would be in awe with how tall it is being up to 40 feet. Before you can get into the reactor a 17-foot-tall robot lands in front of you. Before you know it brings its fist down at you. You fall on your back, and as you see it you put up a force field. The force field stops it, You then send an electric wave through it, and the robot stumbles backward. You can't fight something this big by yourself.
You then see white wings in the sky. The person then hits the robot with a spear. As the robot sours through the sky more people attack the robot. The person looks at you "The Valkyries will hold here as long as we can." They propelled back into the sky.
You finally enter the core, wires, and consoles are everywhere even robots powered down hang on the walls or dangle from the roof on a conveyor belt. As you move through the giant hallways you suddenly hear a shout and what sounds like fighting you sprint down the metal-floored hallway. You don't get far before pieces of a robot are at your feet. You see a tall man in front of you with a Hawk on his chest. You recognize his mask instantly. "Noah!!"
Noah turns around. "Hey Aspen." his voice comes out rougher than usual. You look around "How did you get here? Where is your team at?" Noah points up at a hole "The plane was shot down. I uh I jumped, they didn't make it." You want to comfort him but know he wants to grieve later. Noah speaks up after a long pause. "I'll get you to the Atrium. But it will just be you and me."
You smile at him but you can't hold it. The Atrium you remember when the Avat killed the world leader that went. What was supposed to be a new beginning turned into a nightmare. After several hallways and passing broken machines, you enter the Atrium. The pure size of it is overwhelming. Right dead in the middle is the core. Glowing a bright blue with a gold outline. As you and Noah walk to the central computer you see Athol one of the most dangerous villains to exist. Athol is a living cyborg as he wanted to become powered but couldn't. So he set for augmentation but that changed him. He is by far the worse person to walk this earth. By how he tortured and pushed his victims to their breaking point. All to see if a regular human with no powers could be a powered person. You see that Athol is typing something.
Noah pulls out a knife to throw at Athol. "I wouldn't do that. If you miss and you will miss. Their automated systems will activate. Noah lowers the knife and mumbles "Jackass." You start to scan the many consoles "You used us as a distraction. WHY!?" Athol finishes typing on the console and withdrawals a data drive. He shakes his head "You would never understand." You start to get more pissed "Try me you allowed 100s of our people to be cannon fodder. To get what data." Athol turns around with a sinister smile "Not just any data. Genetic data to evolve our species. Then we will all be equal."
Noah nuckels whitened. "You want to just control the people. You monster, an excues to just touter inoccents." Athol shakes his head. "Sacrifices need to be taken. The Thrallens will betray us one day." He lets out a horrible laugh as he tapes his wrist guard. A portal opens "See you around Aspen and Noah. It is sad a child will grow up without a parent." You both freeze at his implication. You know he couldn't know.
As the portal closes you move to the console. As you reach it you see a countdown. "Dammit, Noah they know we are here." Noah growls "I'll hold them off as long as I can." A voice you haven't heard in a long time "Hey not without us." You smile when you see Lady Jade, Vanessa, Zero, and several others. Lady Jade's crimson armor with her black swords. Her soldiers are behind her wearing similar armor but it's shaded black. Her men start setting up barricades. Zero goes to the console not being able to see his face but you know he is smiling. He signs that the automated defense in the room will help us.
Vanessa walks towards you. When she is in front of you she hugs you. You smile and hug her tight. "Aspen go do your thing ok. I'll be right here. Ok." You nod you unlock the core at the console. You walk in and formed a shield all around the core. As you build up an electric pulse you hear them fighting and yelling. You know this is the only way you just hope you will live.
Static swoosh swoosh vroom boom. As you collapse you hear cheering outside. You walk outside and see all your friends faces relieved you are alive. As you get closer Vannessa and Lady Jade moves to you.
Crack splash, everyone freezes you don't understand. You suddenly feel cold as you look down and see a metal-clawed hand go through your chest then it is gone. You fall. Before you touch the ground Lady Jade catches you. You hear laughing and know it, Blaze. Vanessa starts fighting him with Noah.
"Hey, hey Aspen look at me." in a gentle soothing tone. You see your friend's face with tears dripping down. You smile at her "We did it- agh hh" Blood comes up from your mouth. "Look out for Vanessa yeah." She shakes her head "don't say that you're going to make it. You will heal and all laugh about it." You wish that was the case this time. You wish you told Vanessa the truth. Your eyes start to get heavy. You open them when you feel a cold hand touch you. You see Vanessa. Vanessa crouches down and lady Jade moves to give you a moment. "You had one job dear just one." you touch her face. you getting weaker and your eyes are getting heavier. She comes closer and you whisper something you have kept from her and she smiles. "I will dear. even if it is the last thing I do." With that, you take your final breath.

<h1>Pov- Agent Scarlet</h1>\
<h4>In another part of city.</h4>\
<h4>Crime Scene-Two dead Bodys</h4>\
Traffic zooms by as the police cover the scene. Agent Scarlet sighs "Three villains rob a bank an Amature hero tries to stop them. But a fifth person was here and killed two while the hero was busy. Shit." Agent Scarlet's phone rings.
"Didn't expect to hear from you again." The man lets out a bitter laugh. "Yeah, I didn't plan on it either." Scarlet touches some of the blood it clomps on her fingers.
"I'll assume you are at a crime scene right now with two dead and one alive right." Scarlet frowns "How did- Shit. Your kid did this. There is like nothing left of the body." Leo pulls the phone away and says something Scarlet can't hear. Leo puts the phone back on " They were going to kill a kid she stepped in."
"Leo I can get rid of the residue but if anyone saw her I can't step in. The Agency doesn't help powered people anymore we hunt them," Scarlet stresses the statement. "Leo, Just keep Alice's tendencies in check."
Leo growls"I will thank sis." Leo hangs up. Scarlet grip threatens to break her phone. "It wasn't my fault Leo. Why won't he understand." Scarlet is shaken from her head. "Hey Agent, A Lady Jade is here to talk to you." The Officer says chipperly. Scarlet looks for Lady Jade and her mood sours imminently. Scarlet moves past the CSI unit and the Rep from White Hawks.
Lady Jade is a guardian and assassin in one. She leads a group known only as the Ancients. The Agency has had problems with them in the past. Scarlet has lost fellow agents and even friends to them. And Lady Jade always seems to be disinterested when talking to anyone other than her people.
As Scarlet walks over to Lady Jade she sees her two soldiers near her. Scarlet remembers the two near Lady Jade. Rune and Rene the sisters who are always near her. Lady Jade's Armor stands out with the vibrant red while the sisters are in white and gold armor.
Rene looks at Scarlet with distaste and turns around. Rune's eyes are kinder than her sister and she offers a small wave. Lady jade puts down her tablet as she noticed Scarlet. A Beat Cop with an evidence bag passes by them quickly.
"Agent, how unfortunate to meet again," she says disappointed. It takes every fiber in Scarlet's being not to lash out at her. Scarlet calms herself "Why are you here?" Lady Jade shakes her head. "The one that is still alive I need to talk to him. Then he is all yours." Before Scarlet can protest "If you don't let me, I'll take him by force." she says in the same calm disinterested voice. Scarlet nods her head.
Scarlet leads the three to a truck out of the ally. She deactivates the dampener without saying a word Lady Jade steps in. Not five minutes later she steps out and puts back on her glove. "He is all yours, Agent. Don't worry Leo's child will be ok. No one will remember her being here." Lady Jade and her guards disappear in a blink of an eye. Scarlet fist tightens at how they operate. Scarlet attention is then called by an Officer "Agent the hero would like a word." She nods and moves towards the hero just another day in New York.
<<button "Continue""8">><</button>><!--[[8]]--><h1>POV- Lady Justice</h1>\
<h4> Location- Apollo Gate</h4>\
<h4> June 16, 2003</h4>\
The sun is setting and a heavy cast of rain covers the city. In the tower it is peaceful. Vannessa puts down her coffee. It clings to her desk. Her hand is still bloody from her interrogation. Blaze has been in hiding since he killed Aspen.
Vanessa looks at her office cozy yet professional. She never really had time to decorate properly. She moves to a table to look at a few dossiers. Her phone rings, and she has a sad smile when she sees the caller ID. Noah.
"Hey. How are you?" Vanessa says this in the gentlest form. After all, Noah has not talked to her in years. Noah's voice comes out hoarse "I've been better. And the kid before you ask is doing well. Already at the top of the class. The Instructors have recommended skipping several of the rankings to a sidekick program. If that goes well $they will be leading a squad."
Vannessa smiles it's so big her cheeks hurt. Vanessa hasn't smiled this hard since well since Aspen died. "Would it be alright for when the graduation ceremony happens..." She pauses "Can I meet $them? I know it's years away but I want to. This Kid seems to make you happy."
"Yeah, I'll let you know when it happens." Vanessa moves to sit on the couch. Noah breathes slowly. "I know when I left it wasn't right. I started the White Hawks to get away. To get away from her or the memory I don't really know. She was our leader and- look if you need me call me I'll help you. Vanessa nods her head. "I understand Noah. The same goes for you too. Alright, I need to sign some forums call me if you want to talk." Vanessa hangs up the phone. Vanessa's lens back before getting up. "I wish you didn't leave Noah." Vanessa wants to laugh knowing she could never change his mind. After all his Hero group is the better school. Outside of two in Apollo Gate.
As she puts the phone down on a side table. She looks at her collection of pictures. All from her time in America. It's funny how being powered was a one-way ticket to the land of the free. A bunch of shit. But that's when she met Aspen. Aspen was the popular girl everyone had pegged. Aspen hated that. Aspen wanted to change the world. Vanessa looks at the pictures Aspen took of them. She unintentionally smiles at the old pictures. One, in particular, stands out. They just graduated high school and decided to be Heroes. She chuckles at how they all dressed. The outfits were so out of fashion. Vanessa's eyes come to a stop at a very recent picture. Vanessa and Adrian with their kids. Beca looks like a mini her. While Sara puts on a sweet smile. Then there is Nicole and Johnny. her twins. They don't look alike but are adorable in their way.
Vanessa suddenly feels tense at the file she got today. She looks away to stare at the folder on her desk. Out of her four children, one will never be a true power. She can't even force herself to open it. To know the humiliation and make them a ghost to the public. Adrian's Idea. Vanessa doesn't care about the humiliation. She will protect her children and Adrian won't change that.

<h2>Somewhere in Tennessee</h2>\
<h4>March 18, 2007</h4>\
<p>You are an orphan. You grew up with the man who saved you, Noah Blackwood. He was one of the 12 who formed the Guardians and defeated the Avat. Noah left for a reason he won't say. He did raise you as his child. You tried calling him Dad once. He told you he didn't deserve that title but you could call him your brother if need be. So you stuck to calling him Noah.</p>
<p>Your powers developed earlier than most but thankfully you had Noah and several instructors. You have wings on your back, that can absorb light. You also have a grade 5 healing factor which is the rarest one as a 2 or 3 is more common. Unlike others growing up, you saw how people got hurt. You never worried about that and it showed with how you trained.</p>
<p>And the training methods Noah has been very unconventional. You got used to the exercise. As you got older they become more challenging. As your powers grew you started having vivid dreams. You can never see who is in the dream put just a shadow off them.</p>

Lisa starts to chuckle while sitting on the floor.
Noah gives her a look and she stops. Noah then looks at you "No, this is about their other teammate." Your eyes widen.
Violet and Dove's partner told lies about them to the public. Then left the team. You don't know the reason why they left, and Dove wouldn't say. They are not taking it too well. Turns out their way of dealing with it fighting.
Noah is right. Getting in between them is suicide.
You notice Lisa is on the floor "So $name, Where the Prez kid." You roll your eyes.
You've noticed ever since Rain showed up Lisa is more distant. You don't know why but you haven't had the chance to talk to her.
You suddenly feel warmth, You see Rain dart and form light in their hands and pull the two apart.
"That's ENOUGH!!! You should both cool off. Dove go get your favorite Milkshake. Violet go to your spot and breath.
They both Glare at Rain. Dove scoffs and walks out and Violet facepalms. Violet looks at you and the others "Sorry guys we will have this worked out."

As you pass you get to your team's door. As you open it you notice no one is there. You walk over to the window that over sees the training room. As you look into the training room. You see Dove and Violet. They look like they are arguing.
Then you see Violet hit Dove.
OH Shit!!!!
You take off to break them up.

Violet lands on the ground. Violet rolls backward and then throws kinetic energy at Dove sending her to the wall.
Causing the wall to crack. Dove pulls herself out of the wall. Violet speaks with desperation. "Honey I told you it was a misunderstanding."
Dove's mask is broken, and her eyes are squinting. Ruble falls from her skin. You see a gash on her stomach. "I told you not to call me that."
Dove forms heavy claws and slings them at Violet.
Violet counters they both are inches from each other.
They both start punching. They move so fast that you can't see who is hitting who.
You are about to move until.
"I wouldn't do that $name." a deep calm voice shakes your attention away.
You look to your left and see Noah and Lisa.
You have to strain your neck to look at Noah. Noah opted for his full mask today but you can tell he's not too worried about the two fightings.
While Lisa is sitting on the floor. You see she is partially shifted her eyes and ears are wolf-like.

You wish you could get your score before you graduate but oh well. The scores will dictate where you can go. Your hope is to get into the Silver Guardians. You smile at the idea of fighting alongside Lady Justice. You don't know what Lisa or Rain wants to do.
Lisa heads towards the locker room. You turn and see Rain near you. Rain sends you a smile. "So $name would-" You notice a blush on their face. Rain coughs in their hand. "Look we might not see each other again because of graduation and the missions we have to go on with our mentors. So would you want to go get Lunch?"
You can't help but smile "Sure, I always have fun when I'm with you." Rain smiles and claps her hands "Ok I'll meet you out front in 15, I'm changing out of this jumpsuit." Rain leaves with a jump in their step.
Noah walks in as Rain leaves. Noah looks at them then at you and smiles. You put a finger up
"Don't, Its just Lunch."
"I didn't say, anything Kid."
You roll your eyes. Yeah, he was thinking it.
Noah pulls out a folder.
You stare at it.
...
"Is that"
Noah grins "Your mission with your mentor."
"Wait I thought you would be doing it with me."
"No $name, This is a surprise. I can't tell you with who yet. But your Mission will be off the planet. You will leave first thing in the Morning."
<<button "In the Locker Room""12">><</button>><!--[[12]]-->
<h1>Pov- Lisa Sanders</h1>\
<h4>Locker Room.</h4>\
//Slam!!!//
Rain asked $Them out. That two-faced bitch. If $name knew.
//Slam!!!//
Shit SHit. need to get control.
The Door opens.
A sweet scent of coconut.
Dove.
Dove walks around the locker sipping on her milkshake.
"OMG!!! Is that froth from your mouth."
Dove moves towards you, You put up a hand.
"No,"
Dove looks at your hand and decides to sit on the bench that's not broken. Dove crosses her legs. She puts her shake down and waits.
You start to shift back.
"I'm guessing this about $name." She states.
You look away and snarl.
"Some advice tell $Them how you feel. At least before the final mission."
Dove stands up "Oh and your final mission will be with me." Dove gets up and heads to the door.
Talk about my feelings agh "Wait you're going to be my mentor."
Dove stops at the end of the lockers. "Well, I'm one of the few who could deal with you but that's a Lie. I chose you. I'll be at the Cafe downstairs. We will talk in a more freeing environment."
Before you can say more she's gone.

<h1>Graduation</h1>\
<h2>POV- You</h2>\
<h4>Location- Apollo Gate </h4>\
<h4>March 20, 2007</h4>\
//BEEP!//
//BEEP!!//
//BEEP!!!//
Shut up
//BEEP!!!!//
//BEEP!!!!!//
Bloody HELL. You swipe your alarm.
//CRASH!!!!!//
Wait what time is it. You look at the now smashed alarm clock. Yeah, you pull out your watch.
//05:50//
Suddenly you hear someone outside your dorm.
"We are going to be Heroes!!!!! Whooooooo!!"
Then another student "Oy Shut your MOUTH Tom before I do it." Ah, Saren yeah forgot he was across the hall.
You can't help but laugh Tom woke up Saren. Then you hear Tom's footsteps fade down the hallway. Still yelling.
You roll out of bed. You see the Uniform you are to wear hanging on your door. It's a Jumpsuit with a Leather jacket. However, unlike the rest of the class, yours is fully black with gold accents paired with half-palm gloves.
You walk over to your desk. You can't exactly remember your mission. Everyone asked questions but your memory is foggy and Sky ignored your questions. Even if he is one of the 12. He was an ass not helpful. Didn't help when the Media swarmed us when the portal opened and he took all the credit. Thankfully an Instructor helped you.
You grab some medicine, and it doesn't help that your powers are acting weird. Thankfully the new jumpsuit and gloves can contain your powers. Then you can get your unique outfit and mask. Then you smile your name or what Noah calls your Alias. You got it picked out and everything.
Your computer lights up. You check your email, some of your friends are all meeting up for lunch. You feel your head start to hurt.
Your vision begins to blur. You sit down. Next thing you know you are shivering. You try to move but you can't.
Your hands move without your consent. You now are holding a small mirror showing your face. Your eyes look like the Night Sky.
Your voice comes out but it sounds wrong "I do hope you will forgive me. My little Star. Sadly your life just went to hell."
You try to scream, try to move but the only thing that happens is your eyes are getting heavy.
"Rest my Little Star, When you wake it will be a New World."
<<button "Darkness""14">><</button>><!--[[14]]-->You wake up on the ground
--
You can't feel your hands no you can't feel at all
--
Screams pierce your ears
--
You sit up. You see your classmates scattered on the ground. Then you see Rain on the ground.
--
You reach for them. Is that-
--
//BLOOD//
--
Rains Blood. You look at your hands covered in blood. Blood is all around you.
--
Your vision finally clears you are surrounded by Apollo Knights. All guns pointed at you.
You notice The Knights hands are shaking. The Knight commander moves to restrain you.
"When you wake come and find me Little Star."
That's all you remember
<<button "Darkness""Part 1">><</button>><!--[[Part 1]]-->
<h1>Pov- Doctor Jennifer Cloud </h1>\
<h4>Date- June 12, 2012</h4>\
<h4>Location- Unknown</h4>\
<p>You walk by the cells containing the poor souls the Agency has deemed for their project. Many are just children. Others are powerful people who were deemed to be dangerous. They are the people whose powers are to be stripped by The Privation. You've seen the process it has left most of the Subjects brain-dead or with severe mental instability.</p>
You hate this. They force you to do this. You take a calming breath before you enter the lab. Your lab is not the nicest as most of the machines have blood on them. And there isn't time to clean them.
After about an hour of checking reports and emailing your notes, a soldier walks in. Like all agents who come from the Echo project, their skin is almost deathly white and their hair is as well. Their eyes however tell a story a sad story. You are one of the few allowed to see their faces. You also act as a counselor for them some are more reluctant to talk than others. The Echo project was the most successful because of the conditioning the subjects went through.
The soldier speaks almost robotic. "The Director requests your presence." You nearly scoff.
"I'll be just a moment." The soldier mods and leaves.
You walk at a brisk pace knowing The Director doest like to wait.
You turn a corner and see two fully armored soldiers. Their armor is blue with white accents. The one on the right opens the door.
When you enter it feels like hell has frozen over. Behind the half-circle desk is Director Calix. She may be small in stature but she may be one of the most deadly people you have met. You know only one of your abilities and it's the ability to rott a person by just touch.
She looks up with the same blank look. "I got a new project for you, Doctor." The Director pulls out a file from her desk.
You pick up the file as you read it you close it fast. "The subject is Mentally unstable. And doesn't even know what is reality."
Director Calix nods her head "Yes but there is another reason."
You look at her confused "You don't mean."
Director Calix stands from her desk and looks out the window to all the new subjects training. "The subject fits the parameters for project Eden."
Your eyes widen
Director Calix smiles "Thought that would catch your attention."
"When do I get to see the subject," you say with excitement.
Director Calix walks to the elevator "In about 15 minutes."

♡<h1>Pov - Noah Blackwood</h1>\
<h4>Date- October 12, 2017</h4>\
<h4>Location- New York, Late at night</h4>\
Your breathing is heavy from the arrest you made earlier tonight. To think the guy not only had a backup but also broke through your illusions. You land on a nearby roof. As you sit to catch your breath your comm comes on.
"I thought I told you to rest." the voice comes across as agitated but you can hear the worry in it.
You grunt as you get up. "Sorry Shade but I got a Lead and needed to follow up. Plus, not my Boss anymore." On the comm Shade huffs.
"Look Noah I get you to want to take down The Pantheon. But theirs no real proof they exist." You hold your tongue. "It's not your fault for what happened the last mission had bad intel. That's why you changed the rules."
You take a heavy breath thankful that no one is around. "Thanks, Shade, I'm going to stay out for another hour then head back."
"Anytime Big Guy. I made a promise and I plan on keeping it." Your comm goes off. You then make sure no one can bother you for the next hour.
After a long break, your scanner from Zero picks up some unusual activity in the East District. You tap on the alert. A sanitation plant is active. Strange the Districts are in extreme lockdown. You better go check it out.
You fly through the sky. The breeze has a calming effect on you. When you get to the plant you notice some gang members from the Mare Cutters. You perch on a beam to see if they are here in force. You watch as four more SUVs drive up. You pull out a device and throw it at one of the SUVs.
"Oye get the Gear out and ready. The buyer will be here soon." The man seems to be in charge but he's not the Leader but a middleman. You watch as they pull out guns and crates of explosives.
As you prepare to step in you see a figure take down two of the men. Your device is suddenly jammed. A flashbang goes off you cover your eyes. As you fly down you see that several of them are dead. The knife marks and gunshots are clean. You notice a blood trail leading into the Plant.
As you move to go in you suddenly hear a piercing scream. You break into a sprint. As you get in you see the man being pushed against the railing over an incinerator. As you fly to stop the masked figure. They turn and see you and Launch themselves at you. You feel the impact on the ground as you hear a man being burned alive.
They start hitting you over and over. You try to catch an arm but fail. So you use your wing and hit their face. As you stand up you hear them groan in pain and see the clench on their face. They sand up and pull out two short blades.
You want to laugh at how they can stand. Then you see it. "Your losing a lot of blood maybe just give up and we can get you fixed up."
You see their one eye through the broken visor squint. They don't answer.
"So I take that as a no."
The fight that ensues is rough. You try to use illusions but it seems they are trained to use all their senses. But you finally get the upper hand fighting with your wings. You end up throwing them through the window into the next building.
As you fly in you contact the police. You go to the now unconscious person and pull off their helmet. When you finally see their face your eyes widen. You drop the helmet and open up your comm.
Shade comes on "Hey Noah, you ok."
//You're having a hard time breathing it's not possible.//
"Noah you there."
//HOW//
"Shade get the Infirmary ready. And keep it between me and you.
//$They, It's not possible//
"Noah what's wrong"
"I'll explain when I get there."
You put the helmet back on the person. And fly harder than you ever had. You glimpse at the limp body in your arms
//what happen to you $name. I thought NO FOCUS//
//Help first, Answers Later//

<h4>Date- October 16-21, 2017</h4>\
<h4>Location- New York, White Hawks Tower</h4>\
You wake up feeling nauseous. Bile comes up your throat. You manage to keep it down. Your eyes manage to focus on the room. It's a large room, and the colors are a light shade of blue. You then take note of the machines that are connected to you. Before you can move the door opens.
It's Noah but he looks older. "Hey $name"
You try to move but Noah stops you. "Look $name I know this is confusing. But you are wounded. You're about to go into surgery."
Your eyes start to get heavy. You see another person walk into the room.
--
--
--
All you feel is a slight weight of you moving. Before you go unconscious.
[[Next|19]]When your eyes open again it is the place you haven't seen in years. It is the most peaceful place. You walk down the path that follows the edge of the water. You come upon a tree. To be able to see clearly after all these years.
You feel an emotional connection to this tree but you don't understand why. You see a heart carved into it with the letters
L+K+A
This brings a smile to your face. Your view is darkened by a huge shadow over you. You turn a see a man with a kind smile.
He tilts his head to the side "You shouldn't be here. Not that you're allowed but it's too soon.
<<include DialogLoop>>
"As of right now your mind is shattered and your soul is healing. You shouldn't be here because you only come here when you die."
The Care Taker sits on a bench.
"Your soul has been away from your mind for a while
You notice the world is fading.
"I only hope you find the happiness you deserve Devora."
[["Goodbye old friend."|21]]

You stare at $name sound asleep. Shade did everything she could for $name. But there were problems that $they already had.
Shade found that $name has a defect from The Privation. Its <<cycle "$defect" autoselect>>
<<option "Loss of touch">>
<<option "Deafness">>
<</cycle>>
...
That's not the only thing the Privation did to $name. $They lost both wings and the grade 5 healing ability. $They didn't lose the healing ability completely it just is lowered to a grade 2.

</ul>"This place would be what some would call Elysium. But the one who created this place made it to keep the memory of the people she loved. Only two people had her heart. Before she became a God she was a human. But not any human but a ruler of the kingdom Arcadis. The woman she loved Leonora. Well, Queen Leonora put her kingdom first and ended up killing her. The Queen would end up regretting this later after realizing her beloved was innocent.
But the God of Death and Love took pity on the woman and saved her. But it came at a price. The woman lost all her memories and was cursed to be a fox. The woman eventually became a Kitsune and built a temple for the God that saves her.
As time passed the woman took the name Kya. A simple name but soon the whole realm knew it. Kya eventually caught the attention of the God of the Moon. Amar was a beautiful God but was not limited as he was a Shapeshifter. Their love was condemned by many. But the lovers didn't care. Kya gained enough power and became a Goddess of her own. With the help of the God of Death and Love gave his Godhood to Kya.
Kya built this place as a safe haven for those who faced rejection of who they truly were. In the end, time passed a great war that involved not just Man but also Gods. Kya outlived both her loves. She joined the war to end it. But the final battle hurt her the most. Kya saw as the blade that ended the battle cut down the man leading the charge was none other than Amar. As she saw his soul she wept to see Amar again while the Woman was none other than Leonora. The two souls were cursed to be on opposite sides. Of Good and Evil.
Kya did something very few Gods would do. She decided to be reborn to find their souls to reunite with them. Kya sacrifices her godhood to always protect the world and to also save them both."
<<include DialogLoop>>I'm just the caretaker of this place. I lost my name a long time ago, Sorry. But you hmm no never mind it's not you but what your souls embody. Strange.
<<include DialogLoop>>The Care Taker smiles but it does not reach his eyes. "That should be pretty clear right."
You look at him dumbly
He chuckles "You have a piece of her soul, $name. From what I can see you were soul bonded to another and they broke your heart by rejecting you. Then Kya took you and gave you a purpose. But that was then. I don't know much besides that you were a protector to her followers and her adopted child. You may come here again and It will change as you remember."

You cant feel it. You move your hand to your face but you have no sensation on your face.

You cant hear. You start to look around and see a bird chirping on the railing but can't hear it. You then see a note put these in. As you do. A sound start to come back and you hear not just the bird but a car's tire screech. You turn it down to a more comfortable level.
<</if>><</nobr>>
You look around the room. You don't understand where you are. You get out of bed and head to the balcony. As you reach the railing you notice your hands are cut up and scarred. You look at the buildings and shook at the tall skyscrapers. You go back inside and your body freezes
A Mirror

[[Next|23]]You hear the door open a see Noah.
As Noah sees you he stops in place. "Hey, kid."
You are speechless.
Noah sees your face and you notice disappointment than relief. But it all falls under a mask of a calm face.
Noah moves to a table and sits down. "I can see you are confused and I want you to tell me the last thing you remember."
You see that he has one hand under the table. You decide to sit across from him.
"The last thing, the last thing-" It comes back to you
//RAIN//
//DEAD//
//BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS//
//SCREAMS//
As the tears run down your face you look at Noah "I killed." your breathing gets harder your throat gets so tight not a sound comes out. you squeak out "Rain."
Noah's body relaxes. He gets up and as soon as he is a couple of feet you launch at him. He bears hugs you. And you hug tighter.
"I'm sorry kid, sorry that is the last thing you remember," Noah says in a soothing tone.
You need to know "How Long has it been."
Noah doesn't answer
"How long." You pull out of the hug. And give him a serious look.
Noah looks away then looks at you with sympathy in his eyes.
<<button "10 years""24">><</button>><!--[[24]]-->
"10 years!!!!!" You scream out. That's impossible you would remember, wouldn't you?
Noah starts to reach out but stops.

"She's also the one who figured out what the Privation did to you."
<<include DialogLoop2>>
At this question Noah gets angry. "I don't know." He looks at you. "I don't know if you remember the trial but they threw me out and the only one there to help you was Lady Justice. From what she found out someone took over your body. But the courts didn't care since no telepath exist and the ones still alive were already going mad. They said how some powers are similar to telepathy. There is no true one that can stay sane long enough. And you had the President of the United States gunning for you. Then the United States trailed your case and the public wanted your blood. You went through the Privation and I could not check on you.
Noah's face is filled with regret.
<<include DialogLoop2>>
Noah looks sad "From what I know after what happened you went through the Privation. It can cause several mental effects and memory loss is one.

You state it because it's not a question. You didn't have the feeling you use to have with your wings. There wasn't an aching feeling from not stretching them out. Your cuts on your hands already told you about losing your healing ability. Hell the $defect tells you by itself.
Noah flinches at your words.
"What am I supposed to do. All my life I wanted to help people but now, I'm just a normal person no less than one. The hell with the $defect. I'm just some broken person and now you tell me that someone ruined my life. And now what am I going to do."
The look that Noah gets is hopeful.
Noah walks over to a side table. And pulls out files.
"You can be an Instructor." he states slaming the files on the table
You look at the files then him "Me a teacher. I- how would that work. I don't exactly have the powers to step in if the student gets in a fight anymore."
Noah shakes his head "You may not have powers but your body still moves faster than normal. We can run a test to see what you can do."
"Ok, we can do that but."
Noah sees your train of thought. "The fact that everyone thinks you are dead."
"What are the options Noah"
"We give you an Alias. I mean you always were so excited to pick it out and then announce it at graduation."
You can't help but break out into a huge smile but it disappears as the thought fades.
"So kid you got your Alias picked out from before or do you want to go by something else."
Name:

Noah chuckles at your question. "She stayed with the White Hawks for a long time. I eventually confensed her to move on. As of right now shes at the London Rangers HQ. The London Rangers are a new hero group very small but she told me it reminds her of when you both were younger."
<<include DialogLoop2>>
Noah doesn't answer at first but plays a video recording. You see a figure in light combat gear fighting with several types of blades. Then you see the figure fighting not killing some gang then you see Noah fight the figure. Noah pauses the video.
"I didn't find you kid." after a long pause "You were dead. buried."
Then Noah fast-forwards the camera and shows him taking the helmet off. "When I saw your face, I could believe my eyes. But I got to see you again and get to protect you again."
You stop him "I'm here alive how could I be dead."
"That's why I was surprised I saw your body and Lady Justice double-checked and it was you."
You begin to tighten your fist "I want answers, Noah."
He nods his head "Me too. And we will get them."

Noah smiles at your Alias. You have a feeling he would smile no matter what.
Noah gets up from the chair. "Come on we need to get you to pick out your gear. But here put this on."
He produces a black domino mask with gold accents.
You hesitate. As your fingers touch it. You slide over the design you did on it.
You look at Noah he smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes.
He opens the door to a packed hallway. You put the mask on and follow after him.
You notice that the people in the hallway are different than what you say at the academy. Their powers have also changed what they physically look like. But they all seem to get along like normal. Some look at you with interest some whisper about you. <<nobr>>

You and Noah walk into a room. You see a design table and a man working on a piece of tech.
As the man turns around you notice he is wearing a respirator mask and an armored jumpsuit. He looks at you with disinterest. He looks at Noah and signs something. Noah nods and the man takes whatever he was working with him.
Noah looks at you "That was Zero. He can't talk or won't I'm not sure. But he helps with creating tools for everyone."
"What did you tell him."
"Hmm ah, I told him I just need the room for a bit."
"I get the impression he didn't like me."
Noah laughs but it's empty.
"He is like that with everyone. Don't take it personally."
You walk to the table and a screen prompt opens.
An AI voice comes on "Hello and Welcome $name. It is been a long time since you last activated your status. New options for Hero Gear are open to you Instructor."
The table then scans you.
"Scan complete."
Options then appear. "Based on the scan these options are recommended."

[[Next|28]]As you select the gadget the screen then shows options for your outfit you can only scan through them.
A Jumpsuit is much like the one you have on but the material is thicker enough to stop a blade. The armor on the shoulder that goes down the arms in an arrow shape to the wrist and with the armored boots give it a sharp look.
A mesh body suit that is a bit revealing and tight to the skin. Any bits that would be too inappropriate are covered up with a material that blends with the skin. You notice your legs would be completely exposed. And the shoes are just some running shoes.
You look at the toga and want to laugh at a Greek design similar to what to Gods wore with gold sandals. The toga can change length as such it is a mystical item. The toga has slits on the sides at the end.
Your blood runs cold when you see the Ceremonial armor. It is a lighter version of what an Apolo Knight wears. The color seems to come in many variations. and you notice the gauntlets are sharp like claws.
Combat Gear is similar to what the police wear to fight powered individuals. Its a light Exo suit that will provide strength if need be.
Trench coat with a bulletproof vest. It reminds you of what older detectives used to wear.
Full leather outfit, it reminds you what a dominatrix would wear. Not that you know too much about that.
Spandex bodysuits are the suits the heroes in comics wear. You notice that it almost has never been picked. (I wonder Why)
Your eyes are drawn to the triple-weave kevlar suit. A lot of people pick this for close combat and to handle small gunfire.
You see the option of a Corset Dress. Its design is similar to what the Amazones wore.

Noah speaks up "Your gear will be made and delivered to your apartment."
You look up at him wide-eyed. "Wait you got me an apartment."
Noah nods and walks to a computer. "I'll show it to you later. Right now I'm printing out your student profiles. You will be personally teaching 3 students along with teaching classes."
You wave your hand "Wait wait are you giving me a team."
Noah grabs a folder and puts the papers in them. "Yes but this is a team that doesn't get along and they can't know your real identity. But yes a team, your team and you get the full support of the White Hawks."

[[Next|32]]Before you can look at the files the door opens. A young man walks in and freezes at the sight of Noah. Before you can acknowledge his presence he darts out.
You then look at Noah's face and see it harden at the door.
"So I guess I only see a happy face."
As your words come out Noah Laughs "No" Noah looks at you and removes his mask and holds it in his palm.
Without his mask, you can see how much he has aged and see how tired he is. He looks at it then towards you as he speaks his voice lowers. "I haven't smiled in years $name. And This Mask doesn't come off when anyone is around." The implied expect you is heavy.
You know better than to hug him as he doesn't like to show emotion unless it deals with you.
Noah put his mask back on. A ding goes off. He smirks "Come on your apartment is ready. And don't worry whatever you want furniture wise I'll handle it."
You both leave the room.
[[Next|34]]"You got me this?"
"This?"
You and Noah are currently in a penthouse.
"Yes."
"Noah!!!"
"What"
"I won't even begin to afford this as an instructor."
Noah looks at the pool "I bought the place."
"YOU WHAT!!!"
Noah isn't even affected by that. "Don't worry I bought it years ago."
The wind is punched out of you. "This was your gift."
"It was always your kid."
You are speechless.
"Anyways it's got a bed till you decide what you want. Just let me know"
You walk outside and see a pool it also has a clear view of the tower. You lean on a railing and Noah stands beside you.
"What do you think happened. Could it be connected with the graduation mission?"
Noah looks thoughtful "It could do you remember anything from it."
You grip the railing and lean back "No and I still don't like Sky."
Noah looks upset but not at your words. "It shouldn't have been him to take you."
"What do you mean."
"The reason I said it was a surprise was that Lady Justice should have done it with you and then offer you a position with the Silver Guardians."
"Should of?"
Noah moves toward the bar and starts making a drink.
"She was attacked in the Dead Zone while evacuating civilians. By the time she got back, you were already gone. But Sky had no right going with you especially alone."
"Noah where the hell did you send me."
Noah finishes his drink and pours another. "We sent you to a hell dimension."
You look at him more surprised than upset. "You what- I thought they couldn't be open or they just didn't exist."
Noah shrugs "I didn't either but the Thrallens said it did and showed us. They are not all bad some are peaceful others not so much. The Gods protected Earth for a long time before they decided to travel to the Cosmos. The Thrallens came at the request of one or that's what they say."
You see that Noah isn't pulling your leg.
Noah takes a swig "The main reason some people change when their powers come in is that they were supposed to be a Gods' vessel but the gods are gone well not all of them. From what Lady Justice found out there are only four left. One is a Moon God but the name has changed too much. The second is an Evil God causing chaos and destruction. This one I believe is the one Bringing the Villians together or trying to. The third is known as The Watcher. She simply guides heroes who need hope but never get involved."
Noah just stops and does continue.
"What about the fourth."
Noah shakes his head "That one we don't know anything about. We don't know if they are good or evil. They may not even realize they are a god."
You sit as you see he has more to talk about.
"I need your help kid. This second God keeps a list of fake names and uses them. But I believe they want to bring a new age of Gods."
"Why not ask Lady justice for help. She would help right."
"She would if she could $name but she is the one in charge of Apollo Gate and has to deal with that or bigger threats."
"So how will I help you, Noah."
"It's simple your team will go on missions and get intel and we will put this together then we can prove this Pantheon is real."
Noah notices your mood starts to go down "Hey let's go to that Pizza place you always liked."
You perk up and are already moving to the door.

As for your mask, it is not unheard of for people to just wear a simple domino mask when out in public. Many powered people like their privacy. You only need to have your mask on when in the tower. As you move to open the door.
"Oomph"
You stagger back as you look down at the person you just ran into. It's Daniella your neighbor. She's really small but makes up for her energy.
Daniella jumps up as soon as her butt hits the floor.
"You know $name you should look down so you don't run over me." she huffs a little "Anyways I'm going to a meeting on Monday and was hoping you could watch Leon. I will be back before it's too late and Leon really likes being around you."

"Thank you, Thank you. $name I'll owe you. I'll make you dinner. It will be only for a couple hours. Leon will be waiting for you outside your door."
Before you can say another word Daniella takes off down the hallway. You catch a glimpse of Leon. Leon waves.
You lock your door and walk over to the elevator.
After Thirty minutes.
You walk into the building. You walk past the main desk and head into the atrium.
As you walk in you
[[Smile at several students|CR1]]
[[Walk past students and many flinch or move out of the way|CR2]]<<set $intimidating to 52>>\
As soon as your foot touches the floor many if not all students move to sit down and get their notes out. One student looks at you still standing and you glower at them. You notice they are about to do a prank when you hit a button on your desk and dump water on them. You smirk "Go change and dry off. The lesson will begin when you return." They eventually come back dried You start the lesson with a strict and cold tone. As the lesson moves on you notice an alert on your comm. Youll check that later.
"Lets see hmm. There are a totally of 20 of you. And each are required to take my class."
A guy in the back scoffs. "And why do we need to learn from someone who has no powers. I thought this was advanced fighting tactiques and understanding our ablitys."
You keep your gaze cold when you look at him. "Ah Mister William Turner. Yes I have in my files you are a Beta grade. So no hoe for you to be better than me sadlly."
That pisses him off. He stands up."You dont know that I could evolve into another power and besides I could bash your head in."
You laugh. Not a warm laugh but the kind that scares people. "Let me make this clear Mister Turner. I will be the one person you will never Beat. As if you did then youd pass my class." You get closer till you are in front of him. "And If you did become more powerful well lets see 1. You could die. very very painfully. 2. You could go insain like may who devlop their powers." You Then place a hand on his shoulder. Your grip is tight. "Sit back down so I can countinue." You shove him into his seat.
"I am not your friend nor am I your parent do you understand. I am your Mentor the person to deam you worth of becoming a hero." You then walk to your projector and turn it on.
"And yes what I said to Mister Turner is correct. You will each fight me in 6 weeks from now. I will gaude how well you do. And this is your power exam. If you pass you will be in my special class. This is where you will go on missions with me or my three others students that are apart of my team."you pause for a breath. "Any Questions?"
A few students hands shoot up.
You point to the girl with mechanical cyberwhare. Its part of her ablitys. Its more of an organic membran. "Yes. Miss Alexa Striker." Her eyes widen at her name. No you dont need inroduction when you memrized their files.
"What happens if we dont pass the power test." You notice shes nerves. A lack of confidence. Need to work on that.
"You will remain in my class till you do. But dont worry as the normal class is just as infromed and you will be trained by me and with any outside help I choose." You grab folders with more infromation on them. You start to hand them out. "I will only be teaching your class as two other insturcters teach this same course. No you cant transfer out as Im your mentor. That was assigned the day you were tested."
You point to a golden hair student. "Mister Danny Hunt yes?"
"Oh you picked me well. What kind of specil assments would we do in your special class and waht is that class called?"
You tilt your head. An intresting question. "As I said we would do special missions. So you and everyon in their will be broken into two teams. So you can go ahead and form teams. And Ill give assments that will vary. Your teams will be competting with one another but your grade matters on the assignment I give you. So you wont have the same assmignt. And as you can guess I will take you to the Ai room where your gear and coustem will be made. But kow this your Alias wont be picked till you graduate. So come up with temarey names till the mean time. This special class is called the Begain of a Team. No I didnt pick the name. So yes you will also be counted on team work.
You look at the dark haired girl that looks like a harpiy. Vlada Mirko. Her posture is stiff and you can already tell shes got a superiour complex. "Miss Vlada Mirko what is your question." The smile she gives lest you know its not about the class. "So when do we get to know your real name. As mentors share their names to their Students. And you are one of the few Instructores here who doest have it on file."
Cheeky little bitch. You nod. "Well I wont be sharing that any time soon. And you wanting to know to blackmail wouldnt work. After all we could talk about that mistake you had lets see two years age was it." Vlada face drops. "No we dont. Im sorry. For overstepping." Shes serous. You see her fidget. Ahh a weird fan type. great.
Then you see the last hand up. Shes Mila Elena. Youve meet her before. Shes tall. and can change her biology signiture at will. As in chanhing her body to all the elemants.
"Yes Miss Mila Ekean."
"How would traing with you work. Would we need to hold back or do you have procations so we can go full force."Her tone rivels your emty cold tone.
"Ill have help. I know each of you through and through. So that is your likes and dislikes. And that incloude your fears. I was given your infromation two months ago to prepare. But Yes I do have precotions. And you will fight me one on one as well as in groups. Rember those tring dummys you all fought. Well mine is an upgrade by those by a 100. But you should be albe to take them on. Each will be like a vilian. You will need to beat and then you will face me. Or If i want too you will be in a team and fight me nd the robats together."
Before you can say anymore the bell chime comes on.
"Keep an eye on your comm. I will be sending any Infromation I need documented and signed. Also if any of you get stoped by the police complie. But notify me immediatly as they are unpredidtable. Also prepare for a trip to Apollo Gate. We will be going soon and this will be were you will see your scores and where you stand against the other students for your graduation class."
The students file out. You walk over to your computer and open the messages. You have serveral. A lot are spam. You then click on the new message marked urgant.
"Hey, $alias got a mission just found out don't be mad. also, this is Lena."
Lena is one of the students that are on your team. You also are in charge of two others. Scott and Jenny. Over the last six months, you have gotten to know them and bonded in your own ways. Scott is more of an observer than a direct confrontation while Lena and Jenny are more vocal. They often get into it as a result. But all three of them are the best in their class. The only problem they overlooked was at the School in Apollo Gate. The richer families or Legacy Hero children get all the credit. You remember how hard it was till Noah introduce Violet and Dove. You also felt at peace when Lisa was there. The four of you got in a lot of trouble.
As you walk out and message that your classes have been pushed till tomorrow. And a pop quiz will be on the material you taught today.
[[Sure|37]]<<set $intimidating to 48>>\
Many students wave or say hello, to you. You prepare the lesson as normal. You crack jokes and many students pop jokes back at you. As you about to start the lesson you notice an alert on your comm. Its not important as it just beeps once. Youll check it when your done with the lesson.
You turn back to the students. "Hello and wWelcome to Advanced Fighting Tactiques and Understanding of Ablitys." You move to sit on your desk. "As you know this is your final class before you are approved to become an official Hero. I will also be teaching a special class as well. You will have to pass the power exam. Yes you will have to fight me. So in 6 weeks you will face me and Ill will see your current power level."
A student rasies her hand. "Yes Miss." You look at your roster. "Miss Salenya Green. Is there something wromg."
Salenya smiles. "What is the special class?"
You clap your hands. "Well, That would be the Begaing of a Team."
Everyones eyes light up. "Got your attention. Yes this is the class you need to pass. So not really a serete but its more you dont know when you will get the class. But some students have alrady taken this course." Many students are shocked. "This is because they tested in ceryain aptutudes and they have move towards the next step." Some students grumble. "Now now. Your all tested in other fields. But you will be more informed later on one on one meetings. Ill send you a message when your alloted time to meet. Also please be prepared for a trip to Apollo Gate as it will be when you will see your scores compared to the other students in your class." Ypu give them a minitue. "So if you got any questions Id shoot tem now before we are done for the day."
A few hands shoot up. You cant help but smile. "Alright you." you point at the smaller bult guy in the corner.
"I belive your name is Mister Michael Epper." Micheal is caught off guard.
"Yes. So what is it we will do in the Begain of a Team if we pass the Exam coming up. And what happens if we fail the exam."
"Thays the fun part. Me and all of you will go on missions together along with my three personal students. You will need to also be split up in two teams so if you want to go ahead and do that its ok. Because you will still be i that team. You will also be graded by assignments I give you. Know this your two teams will be on seperte task. So dont think one can take the other. Me and my three others will help you if you need it also Know this they dont show favortisime and just because they might be your age doesnt mean you can pull any rank. They are graduates and will be your supiors." You grab some files with more infromation and pass it out. "Also if you dont pass the Exam its not the end of the world."
You shift your body to get comfrotable. You see some worried eyes. Better resaure them."You will still be taught but you will need to pass the Exam. Luckily I can test you myself and deam you passable to the next class. Also your grade for your group will be the same because of teamwork is key."
A blond woman hand is up. You see her tatoos are almost moving. Curious. "Yes. Kristina Nikola." The girl shows a bright smile. "You can call me Niko. I was wonder if we do pass our exam does that mean we get to creat our outtfits."
You nod. "Yes Niko you get to create your outfits." Many students cheer. Some start to take back and forth.
Then another student hand comes up. "Mr Rodger Disher. Is something wrong." Rodger is an enhanced. His mechanical body is quicker. "No, Its just that Would we get the chance to see your face or will we get to know your real name as you are our Mentor."
You smile. "Well you will just have to wait till you graduate. But I think I would be leaning towards no." He seems disapointed but it settles his cursity.
The last hand you point at your shapshifter student. "Mx Hayden Red."
Hayden body shifts uncontrolble as they have a blush on their face. "Will you help us with our powers. And How will you help us as you dont have powers."
"Yes Hayden I will help you with your powers. And I have extended experience and I also hve three personal students. So you will be helped with your ablitys. If I cant help you I will refer to Doctor Shade. She will provide personal teachings."
The chime comes on. You student start to leave. "Ill send you document for you yo sign. Please have them sent back as soon as possible."
You finally get the students out of the classroom and open your computer. You see a message from the team group chat.
"Hey, $alias got a mission just found out so lunch plans are canceled bummer. also, this is Lena."
Lena is one of the students that are on your team. You also are in charge of two others. Scott and Jenny. Over the last six months, you have gotten to know them and bonded in your own ways. Scott is more of an observer than a direct confrontation while Lena and Jenny are more vocal. They often get into it as a result. But all three of them are the best in their class. The only problem they overlooked was at the School in Apollo Gate. The richer families or Legacy Hero children get all the credit. You remember how hard it was till Noah introduce Violet and Dove. You also felt at peace when Lisa was there. The four of you got in a lot of trouble.
As you walk out and message that your classes have been pushed till tomorrow.
[[Sure|37]]Right when you open the door to the meeting room.
"Hell NO."
"Lena come on"
"I said no Jenny. $alias will agree with me. You just can't see what this is."
You see that Lena is standing with her back to you while Jenny and Scott
Scott sees you first and breathes a sigh of relief.
Jenny looks away embarrassingly.
Lena doesn't move with her back to you "You know it gets old when I storm out and you show up."

You look around at them "why are you all yelling well besides Scott?"
"Some high-up decided we get to visit the Dead Zone," Scott speaks out.
"Visit, That's what you got from that more like demand Scott."
Scott just ignores Lena's comment. And turns on the projector. or try to
Scott mumbles "Stupid piece of crap."
You turn to Lena and Jenny still looking at each other.
<<if $intimidating gt 50>>You what until they look at you and they both look at you. Ashamed at how they acted <<else>>"Hey," you smile to calm them both. "Look your both upset."<</if>> "Lena go get the gear and the gunship ready."
Lena grins and leaves.
Jenny sits down at the table.
"Do you know who sent it?"
Jenny's head perks up "Yeah, the name is Vixen."
At that, you freeze.
<<button "10 years ago" "39">><</button>><!--[[39]]-->You look at the list of potential names for you. You understand how important this decision is because everyone will know your name.
Before you can look anymore your door bursts open and the next thing you know a little Kit is in front of you.
The kit shifts and you see Lisa smiling at you. "Sorry, it was faster to shift like a small fox. Also, your scent was everywhere."
You smile not many people know Lisa's secret that she can shift into a wolf and a fox.
Lisa looks at your list "Still haven't decided huh?"
You close your eyes "No, what about you."
At your question, Lisa smiles "Vixen."
You look at her confused "Why."
Her smiles get bigger. "Well, I plan on being more of the wolf or werewolf. But I don't want to give up the fact I can be a fox too."
You smile at her "I'll let you know by the end of the day or tomorrow."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
You can't remember if you told her.
[[Hey, you ok.|40]] <<if $intimidating gt 50>>You body is ridged. You see that Jenny pulls her hand away from you.<<else>>You see the worry in Jenny's eyes. you pat her hand and she looks down. "You don't get to scare me like that," she mumbles.<</if>> "You recognize the name."
You nod
When she sees you don't want to continue she sighs.
Jenny looks at you "OK well I need to go check on my gear or well my music list. I'll be at the gunship ready to go."
As Jenny leaves.
You look at Scott.
Rattle,
buzz,
buzz,
clap,
slap,
slap,
thunk.
"Piece of shit." Scott looks up from the broken projector. Then at you "I'm considering hurting the idiot who sent us here." Scott then looks around "So they left. Well, I'd got to get the file from Echelon. He should have it."
You can see Scott is pissed at whoever put the team here. "I'll go see him, also don't hurt them too much."
Scott looks you dead in the face and deadpans "I would never hurt someone whose job is to help us. Besides I need to see Zero for my upgrade" He taps his spine.
You see a slight grin on his face.
[[Next.|41]]<<set $b_rel to 30>>\
Before you knock on the door to Echelon office. it swings open. you came face to face with no other than Becca Winter. Unlike the others, she doesn't go by an Alias or Code name. Becca has a reputation among the student who gets in my way and fails. You also know from Noah that the Silver Guardians sent her here to help but theirs a reason he doesn't know of. She also hates you for reasons you are not sure of.
Her hand is inches from your arm. She snatches it away from you with a sneer. "You should watch where you going."
You walk into Noah's office. As you enter the main area you hear him shout. You hide and listen.
"You had no right approving the mission Shade."
Noah is facing the window while Shade is sitting on the side table.
"Noah they are one of the better options and besides Vixen requested the team. She needs their skill set. Jenny is an infiltration specialist. Scott is a technical genius. Lena can basically fight anything and win. and $alias well $they keep them in line and inspire them."
Noah sighs
"Look I get why you're worried, but I'm right you know this can help. Now I'll talk to you later. I got an appointment to keep."
Zap
"She's Gone, Kid."
You huff. You'd swear he has a sixth sense. You're not sure if he does. You walk around and see him looking at you with a grin.
"Sorry, you heard that. I guess you want the mission summary."
You nod and see the file in his hand.
* <<link "\"You know it. But I got to know why you didnt tell me.\" you grin." "42">><<set $intimidating -= 6>><<set $emotional += 6>><</link>>
* <<link "\"What the hell. Why did I found out during class. And not from you.\" you grin." "42">><<set $intimidating += 8>><<set $emotional += 8>><</link>>
* <<link "\"Yes, and to Know why I was not notfifed before today.\"" "42">><<set $intimidating += 6>><<set $emotional -= 8>><</link>><!--[[42]]-->
Noah looks conflicted. "I- Shade she approves of it because..." Noah's face clenches. "She thinks you guys need a push."
You nearly yell. "A push yeah the Dead Zone. Where the Villians hide and wage war. Just where we need to be. These kids are more valuable than some cannon fodder."
"You are correct but we both know this isn't about them. But her."
You clench your teeth.
"Look $name she needs your help."
"No, she doesn't need my help but $alias. She believes I died and more and likely hates me."
Noah shakes his head. "$name shes have been in the Dead Zone for 3 years. You need to bring her home. I don't care what that file says. If you want to tell her go ahead, but know her temperament has gotten worse."
"You mean she has been in her wolf form too long."
Noah nods
"She knew-"
Noah interrupts you. "It's how she dealt with the stress"
//shit//
[["I'll go."|43]]The Dead Zone. Yeah, it's just as nice as it sounds. It stretches from the end of Europe's border all throughout Asia. Europe was mostly untouched while all of Asia was destroyed during the invasion. Of course, rebuilding efforts helped major countries. but several Villians took over small countries and started wars.
And any hero assigned to the Dead Zone isn't expected to come back. You remember that Noah said you were not ready to go. But now it feels wrong with just your alias. Lisa and you both use to just sneak out and be Vigilantes and help people. Now, you don't know what to expect when you see her.
You wake from your sleep. To a loud noise.
BAM!!!!
Your eyes snap open. The plane is dark and you need a couple of seconds for your eyes to adjust.
Across from you is Jenny is geared up in full tactical gear. She could pass as a ninja if it wasn't for the fact she has a pink lining. The fact she prefers the samurai look but it's mainly in part the cat ear headphones. You see Scott in the nav map. He likes tech-enhanced needs to see the visual data. You turn to see Lena asleep at your side. You see her swords in her hand. You still remember when she pulled them out of her chest. and the fact she survived was because of her forcefield.
Click beep.
"Landing in 5."
You shake Lena awake. Lena looks tired and pulls her hood up.
As the gunship lands, you see several soldiers gearing up. Commander Juno walks up to you.
"We will scout ahead and send information to you."
You just nod, knowing that Commander Juno whats to head on out.
The Military camp is swarming with troops coming in and out. Gunships taking off and troops loading up on Jeeps and Trucks. You see other Heros in tents. Some look exsosted but you notice the ones sitting around still have smiles laughing and helping the soldiers with rudimentary tasks.
You then see a tent that is doing surgery on many men and women. Some have missing limbs hell you then see a person convulsing blood from a blood poison. You also see many Heros using healing powers but it only is temporary.
"It looks like a shit storm." you see Lena looking at a medical tent.
Scott speaks in a calm tone "Based on what I've found, some Villan landed in a town and slaughtered everyone.."
Jenny flinches "Can we hel-"
<<if $emotional gt 39>>"No" you declare. She nods her head but you see her eyes water.<<else>>"I'm sorry but we don't have time." she frowns. "Why are there not more heroes here. We should be here bringing order not." she purses her lips, before saying more.<</if>>
You clench your fist. She is right to want to help but it means nothing, not here.
//"You need to know this $name. A villain known as White Death is in the area. This could be Why Lisa wants your help. But be careful, White Death is vicious."//
What Noah told you. Makes you want to get in and leave as fast as possible.
<<nobr>>
<<if $defect is "Deafness" >>
You suddenly hear something running hard
...
...
no more like charging.
<</if>><</nobr>>
Your feet are suddenly pulled out from under you.
You feel claws at your throat.
[["Who are you."|45]]Your feet are no longer touching the ground. The claws tighten but stop just shy of penetrating the skin. Your eyes widen at the sight of her. The little girl that would sleep in your room when she had a bad dream. There is no strand of that sweet girl in her eyes. Now it's just filled with despair.
The soldiers around you freeze at the sight of you and Lisa. You see out of perforated some soldiers' hands are on their guns.
Lisa snarls at you. Lisa mumbles "It's not $them. Not $name." Lisa locks eyes with you and barks out. "Who are you? I won't ask again." In a flash You see Lena draw both her swords, Jenny pulls out her pistol and it is humming with a charge ready. Scott just sits down on a bench. you hear him mutter "Can't go anywhere."
<<if $intimidating gt 50>>You grip her hand tightly. when you speak you glare hard. "$alias". "Now put me down Dog." You know this will just anger her but you don't care. At your comment she starts to raise her fist but stops."You will never live up to the name you took. And if you dishonor it I'll end you." Lisa puts you down as she finishes her threat.<<else>>You smile or try to. "Look you asked for us so do you think you might put me down." Lisa starts to put you down but you notice that she is still tense. "Hi, I'm $alias." She flinches at the name. you notice her gaze searches for something. she sighs you see that her hand falters at her side.<</if>> As soon as Lisa's hand leaves your throat. Jenny yanks you away.
Before Lina says a word Scott chuckles a little. "So before we all threatened and yada yada. Let us skip that, and just move to the reason why we are here. Vixen was it. I believe you can tell us why you wanted us."
Lisa's jaw tights for a second. Lina stifles a laugh. Jenny still has a hand on you and is staring daggers at Lina. Scott is still on the bench and pulls out a tablet.
You all move towards Scott as he has the file project.
Lisa starts moving around the files "Last week My team and I were given some information on a possible Telepath. We all went as soon as we heard. When we got to the Location it was cleared out all the people there were dead. We went in and checked the Telepath was DOA. The Telepath was ripped from the inside out. We then radio out for evac. The problem was the killer was still there." Lisa's face changes from sadness and it switches to anger. "White Death killed my team and took two hostages. I was incapassatated."
As Lisa finishes Lena pouts "Well I guess we go and get them back right."
Lisa looks at Lina and glares but can't hold it. "Yes, we have the Location. Your Commander Juno will already be there setting up."
At the mention of your other team, you look at Lisa.
* <<link "\"Look just dont make unnessacery sacrifices. We can get your team back together.\" You frown worried about them." "46">><<set $intimidating -= 2>><<set $emotional += 2>><</link>><!--[[46]]-->
* <<link "\"Look we will go save your team, but dont you do that again.\" You take a calming breath." "46">><<set $intimidating += 4>><<set $emotional += 1>><</link>><!--[[46]]-->
<h1>Pov- Helena Sky</h1>\
<h4>Location- Apollo City</h4>\
As you finish the last lyric you hear the crowd cheer and your smile. You bow and wave your goodbye. "Thank you Apollo City." You walk off the stage and sigh happily.
You walk into your dressing room and collapse on the couch. Suddenly your door opens. Eva your Agent looks at you with a sad smile.
"Are you really sure you want to do this Helena?"
You shrug. "I don't know. I just feel like I need this Eva." Eva frowns.
She then claps her hands "What if we say you want a Vacation. We can say that you have worked for a while and want to take some time for yourself."
Your face tightens for a second, knowing full well why you want to take some time for yourself.
"You can say what you feel is necessary but I don't know if I want to come back, especially when I feel worn out."
Eva smiles "Hey chin up. Go take some time find your spark back have fun just don't get in too much trouble."
Now alone you reach for the file you have hidden. Images of a person. The images of course have information on where they were last. You just don't get why New York. Not like you can go looking during the day.
You stop and look at yourself in the mirror. The main problem is that your skin is shining gold.
//Pretty, Beautiful, gorgeous. you have heard it all.//
//but you don't see what they see no you see//
//just//
//Monstar//
You loathe it. You still remember what it was like to feel skin real skin. And to touch another, to hold someone. You slap your hand on the desk. //Fuck!!//
You got a trip to plan and to find the Bastard responsible for this and just get answers. You also wonder who $alias is. Maybe $they can help. You have gotten mixed information and know $they are not that powerful but have used intelligence to win. You grab your bags you stop for a second
//No, going back now.//
[[Next|44]]"In position waiting on you go." Juno checks in. You look over at Lisa who is watching the whole surrounding area. Jenny wasn't too happy about the fact you are alone with her let alone the fact she nearly killed you. You touch your throat it's still tender from where she grabbed you. As you touch your neck you feel Lisa look at you. When you look her way she already looking back at the building. It's not the right time to talk to her.
You see movement in a window. Commander Juno opens the comm "We have 6 hostiles on our side." Jenny comes on "I got 12 on the inside. I can't hold my position for long. I think one of them can smell me." After a minute Scott comes on "Their turrets are down and I also notice another group of men will be on the way in an hour."
Lisa stands up "Well I hope you can keep up $alias." Lisa looks at you with a grin. "Move In, Lena wait until we breach."
You hear Lena huff "I swear if another person reads my motherf-" Her comm comes and goes off.
Lisa darts to the door without warning.
She takes down two at the door.
You catch up and see the guys still breathing. You see the door and a window you could go in. The window you would need her help with. It's on the second floor.
As Lisa starts to check with the others you think back over the last couple of months and even when you were in school you have changed a lot.
(Note you will be given two options as of now. And with that, you will be given two main choices on how to deal with your enemies.
Mercy will be where they are alive but hurt. Cruel will be you killing them.
Very Simple right.
You will also as of now choose how you to handle the mission.
These choices are combat-related not personlity and also how you conduct your mission or how you deal with criminals)
[["Lets go they know we are here"|Door]]
[["Hey help get to the Window."|Window]]
Lisa looks surprised. "Are you sure, we don't even know if someone is in there?"
You look at her "Just get me in the window."
Lisa grumbles and throws a device on the window it dissolves like water.
You are surprised but before you can say anything she lifts you up and throws you to the window.
You land on your stomach. As you get up your hand touches something sticky. Your eyes slowly adjust to the lighting. You then hear gunfire. before you get far the lights are turned on blinding you. You look at your hand is was blood you touched. You now see the whole room looks like a crime scene. Blood is everywhere. and it is still fresh by the smell. You see a few dead bodies and you see tubes draining the blood. You hear a giggle and water dripping. You turn to the noise.
You see two women looking at you with interest. They both are covered in blood and wearing nothing. You see they just got out of a bathtub full of blood. You also see that they are also twins and are both very tall at least for a normal person.
The one giggling with grey eyes looks you up and down like prey. "Sister did you want to surprise me. you shouldn't have."
The one smiling with pink eyes tilts her head. "Sadly I didn't not but they are Divine. Hmm, You shouldn't be here."
You try to move but can't.
The smiling one steps towards you. She puts her mask on as she reaches you. She starts to touch your face but stops. "I knew it was you." she says almost sadly "Oh Devora, but based on your reaction." She pulls away "Fuck. I can't tell you anything. But when you fully remember us we... We will be waiting for you. Goodbye Love." You blink and she's gone.
The other one looks at you. She runs up to you and hugs you. "Come back to us. To her. She needs you. I need you. I need to go now. She puts her mask back in place and disappears."
You can move again when you fall your eyes close and the blood is gone the room is back to normal. Then the door opens you see several Mercs charge in.
Your eyes search for what you can do. A grin spreads on your face.
[["Look if you just put down your weapons we can work on this peacefully." (Mercy)|Mercy]]
[["Alright who wants to die first." (Cruel)|Cruel]]
[["Oh my, well I guess its time. Look I promise I wont hurt you to bad." (Mercy)|Mercy]]
[["Really, Really, Now is when you shits show up." (Cruel)|Cruel]]
Lisa puts her claw hand up. "I just want you to be careful." Lisa shoves her claws into the door and pulls them off.
You follow after her. You see that you are in a reception area. You hear a squeak. Lisa is leaning over the desk. You see her crush the desk to look at the computer. You then hear a locking mechanism on a door.
You both go through the door and see a hallway but it's lined with windows. Looking out the windows you see a mixture of a garage and a holding area. Lisa stops you. "You handle the talking."
You nod and move through the door.
A mixture of heavily armed Mercs and Powered People. But looking closely the Powered People look like they are dead.
As soon as one sees you. They all point their guns at you. Strange almost like they are connected. But a Hooded person walks in front of them.
The person looks at you. You sense hatred pulsating off them. "You Should not be here nor alive for that matter."As they speak their voices echos bouncing off the walls. They look at Lisa as if you don't exist. "The most Famed Vixen. Finally, I enjoyed breaking their minds."
You hear Lisa growl. The Person continues "That's pretty pathetic. This facade of being the big bag, Wolf. Your still that little girl that lost the $gender you loved."
The person starts to fade as if they are using dimensional travel. "I would say see you again, Not with whats coming" You then hear in your mind "Ill break you again Devora." And then the figure is gone.
Lisa looks around "Shit I can't get my team's scent."
Lena comm comes on "Well how do you want to do this just beat the shit out of them."
Jenny then comes on "To point out the fact and how I have to agree with Lisa they don't seem like talking."
Lena giggles "AWW don't hurt yourself. I know You Love me at least a small part beside you love-
Jenny interrupts "Woha, Just tell us What to do $alias."
You see a glint to your right on Lisa.
Lisa smiles darkly "Ready when you are $alias."
You take a calming breath and look where both Jenny and Lena are at. Both are in the Vents waiting.
[["Just make sure they are alive" (Mercy)|Mercy1]]
[["Just take them down. No restraint." (Cruel)|Cruel1]]As you select the $mask the screen then shows options for gadgets and a melee weapon you can only pick one with you gear as of now, You pick the <<cycle "$gadget" autoselect>>

[[Next|29]]<<set $cruel to 60>>\
You see three Mercs standing to kill you. Your smile darkens.<<nobr>>
<<if $weapon is "Knife set" >>
They all charge at once. You jump backward and throw several knives at them. They all stop as the blades hit them. The only one close to you is the lithe man. He swings a knife toward you. You take your knife and parry his. You then bring a knife into his arm and slice upwards. A red line goes up his arm. he screams. You take the blade out and jam it into his chest. Stab Stab Stab Stab. Blood squirts out all over your chest and face. You grab his pistol and aim it at his head. Bang!!! The woman screams. She knocks the gun out of your hand. She grabs a blooded knife and brings it down while on top of you. You catch the knife. It is just inches from your face. She brings a hand away and starts to hit it. As it gets closer you grunt. You let go and move your head to the side. As you do this she falls forward. You pull a knife out of your thigh holster. You wrap your arms around the woman and roll. She is completely caught off guard by this. With your free hand, you grab her head and begin to slam it into the floor. The woman begins to groan. Splat Splat Splat Splat Splat. A gurgle comes from the woman. You lift her face to see if she is still alive. Her face is bashed in and her face is not recognizable. You then take her bloodied knife and stab her chest. Her hands come up to the blade. Her hands go weak. She falls forward. Splat. You stand up looking at her corpse disappointed. You look at the big guy. But see he's not there. You then are thrown towards the balcony. Crash you go through the glass doors. You roll down the stairs. You stop just shy of the ledge. You reach for the railing to get up. You hear the big walking behind you. As you get up you grab two knives coated in poison. The big guy forces you to face him. As he does you stab him. One into his heart. The other is in his neck. He recoils back. He grabs the dagger in his neck and yanks it out. As he reaches for the other you grab a glass shard. You kick his groin. He falls with the knife in his chest. You take the glass shard and stab out his eyes he groans and grabs your wrist. Before you let go you shove the shard into his eye socket. He falls on his back. He claws at his face until he stops moving. He lays there motionless dead.
<<elseif $weapon is "Dart gun and darts" >>
You throw two darts. One at the Lithe man and the woman. They fall and can't move. The big guy used this opening and tackle you. The man's weight has you pinned. He brings a fist down and you move your head out of the way. You wiggle a hand free. You stab a dart into his leg. The acid begins to spread into the bloodstream. He starts to yell. He gets off you. You start to shoot him with your darts. Your special poison is injected into him. Blood starts to pour from every orifice of his body. As you focus on the lithe man getting up you hear only gurgling from the man now dead. The lithe man pulls out a gun and starts to shoot at you. You dive behind the countertop. You count as he fires. Then you hear his clip hit the ground. You roll out and throw a numb dart at his hand. He drops the gun. Then you are right in front of him. You pull out two darts and stab his neck. His eyes widen and he tries to grab them but you stop him. You headbutt him and he falls down. His face goes dead white and his lips go blue. The woman is still not able to move. You smile sadly at her. You pull out a vial and grab a torn cloth. As you pour it on the cloth. Mist comes off it. You then shove it on her face. Her face becomes discolored. She is no longer breathing.

<</if>><</nobr>>
[[Regroup|48]]You are standing in the Warehouse Garage. With the Mercs now dead or unconscious. You see Jenny is talking to Scott. While Lena looking at some of the Mers. Lisa is looking around. You see blood old and new on the floor and walls.
Lisa shouts "Where the fuck are they." She grabs a chair and throws it at the wall. "I can't get my team scent. Or what I get is old, not new."
You start to look around.
Scott grabs a tablet from the dead guy. "Hmmm, let's see. Ohh sneaky bitch. They got a secret entrance to a basement somewhere."
You look around for anything. The garage has a Black APC with a weird logo. A meeting area with lots of paperwork and a map of the Dark Zone.
You take a closer look at the APC and notice tire markings going back and forth. You wonder if.
Lena shouts "These guys were being controlled by their own blood."
Lisa grumbles "Shit, we need to speed this up. If White Death was here she will be back."
Scott walks beside you. "I found a switch of a floor grate. I just don't know where."
Jenny pops out of the APC "I got an Idea"
"Wait when di-" you don't get to finish your sentence.
The APC is turned on and Jenny drives really fast through the garage door.
You see that where the APC was the floor is made differently.
"Scott hit turn on the switch." Scott looks confused than at the floor and nods his head.
ching crunch ching crunch ching screech
The floor opens up and you see stairs going down. The first thing to hit you is the smell of overwhelming odor of copper.
You and Scott both cover your noses.
Lisa comes behind you "Shit they are down there."
Lena groans "There in the hole of blood-smelling thing."
Lisa growls "You don't need to go down there if you want to."
Jenny pulls out a couple of masks. "Well who wants to go can but I'm with Lena on this. So you can go." She smiles sweetly.
You grab a mask "Let's go Vixen better get this over with."
Lisa nods and goes down. You follow after her.
As you proceed down the stairs your eyes take a second to adjust.
You start to see that it is a bunker.
You pass cage after cage.
You and Lisa come to the end where a giant metal door.
Lisa forces the door open.
Crash
Thud
Your eyes widen at what you see.
Lisa takes a shuddering breath. "No No NO!"
[[Next|49]]Blood everywhere 8 bodys hanged on the wall 2 of them look completley decomposed while the other 6 still look fresh. You notices cages run down the dark half litted stone hallway.
Lisa runs up to them and starts looking at them.
Your eyes catch a light in another room.
You walk into the room and see documents covered in dried blood. The ink is smeared or gone. The only thing you can read is Eden in all caps on the document. You see in the cornor a computer. It has to date back to the 1970s. You see if it can still turn on. You hit a coupl of keys and smile you see a floppy dics is inside and download the data. You pocket it for later.
As you walk out you see a symbole on the wall. The same symbole of a pesky orgnization. You clentch you fist and walk out.
You see Lisa digging through a pile of dead bodys. You dont understand at first then you see two bodys she gently laid out. Her dead teammates.
She looks at them and growls. "Where is she!!" She tilts her head up and darts further down the hallway.
You take of after her. The lighting in the hallway is dark Your eyes slowly adjust. You dont get to far before you hear a groan.
You stop and pry the door open. Its heavy but you manage to push it open. You walk in and see this room has more blood than the hallway. You walk into a viewing room looking over another room. In the center you see a metal chair and a person in it.
You look around to see a way in and see a door to the side. As you walk in you see the person shevering as the see you they calm. Their body takes a femanie look. Her voice comes out smooth like honey.
"Oh Dear i didnt think we would met here." She starts to laugh "I mean its odd you being here." Her eyes widen "Of cource its because of her."
You dont understand why the women is talking like she knows you
You reach for the latch but then notice its gone and so is she.
"You really are slow." The giggle that follows leaves a chill down your spine.
You turn around and face her. Shes just inches from you. She towers over you forcing you face up to look at her.
Her smirk holds looking at you "You really did choose a pretty vessual, Hmm." Her smirk turn into a snear.
Before she walks away you grab her "Why do people keep refering me to someone else."
The women snaps her hand. And blinks behind you. She pins you to the wall. "No you dont get ask me that. You left ME. You left ME with those bastards."
Suddenly you hear a howl
The women lets go of your face "I hope we never met again."
You vision blur and you are sudddenly back in the hallway.
You move towards the howl.
You see Lisa holding a women in her arms.
The women breathing is slow. You see her skin is sickly white. When you get closer you hear their conversation.
"You Idiot I told you to wait. Why? Why did you go in." You can hear in her voice "I promised to look after you. Just dont die stay a little while longer."
The women laughs "You kept it for a while thats what matters. But it looks like this the end. Just catch the Punk yeah."
The womens eyes drift to you. "Look after this one yeah."
All you can you do is nod your head.
She smiles at you. Then you notice she stopped breathing.
Lisa stands up still holding the women. "I will be outside to get a EVAC team. So we can clear the area."
Lisa walks away without saying anything else.
You countinue down the hallway. Its starts to feel humid. You notice the walls look damp. As you walk through a door way. You see the doors have been torn off and thrown on the ground. But what catches your attention are the isolation tanks.
The tanks line up in rows and rows. Atleast 50 tanks are in front of you. As you walk past them you notice that their are people in them or children then to people. You pause at a tank the cosoule lights up.
The computer system is damage. You hit play on a log.
"Subject 109832 has passed all test. We can finaly hav a telapath to protect our goverment and control our enemys.." Suddnly alarms go off. The doctor jumps up and takes off. The system shuts off.
You see the pod is damage. The subject beat their head against the pod. And tore into their throat.
You shake your head. You reach the end at the main console. As you walk towards the consoule lights turn on.
blink
blink
blink
As you touch the consoule you find this area was a testing ground for a teleapath. You sigh as you read the faild list you come across one still alive. You tap on the file to see it.
Subject Redacted has shown promise with Ice manulption. Also exales in any combat scenro. Along with Subject Redacted. These two will be transfred to our Headquarters in New York. The rest of the record is corropted.
You see if any thing else of value is on the console and find nothing.
You turn around and leave.
[[30 minites later|50]]The plane is quiet. All you hear is the rattling of the plane. Jenny is on your left asleep her head is leaning agaist you. Lena is on your right. She is on her tablet filling out the mission report.
You see that Lisa is beside her dead teammates. You notice her hand hasnt left the box since you boarded the plane.
You lean your head back to get some rest.
You wake up to Jenny shaking you. "Hey we are back in New York." You see that Scott and Lena are already down the ramp. You get up and move towards them.
Lenas arms are crossed while Scott is completly in a relexed stance.
Lena is serious "I got my guys first so you pay."
Scott shakes his head "I shot more then you beat down."
You look at Jenny "How long."
Jenny smiles "10 minitues before we landed so 40 minitues."
You smile at that.
You walk up to them "Lena pays because Scott shot 8 when we were all fighting."
Lena pouts "Fuck fine. We can go saturday."
You all agree.
You say your goodbyes.
Jenny doesnt leave.
"What is it Jenny."
She looks at her hands. "I was wondering if you could be their when I do my test."
Shit you forgot all your students were doing power test.
"I can be there. Just send me the time."
Jenny beams at you "Ok, I send it to you."
Jenny hugs you and takes off after Lena.
Before you turn completly you see Jenny hit Lena and take off running. They barrorl through other students.
You turn towrds the tower and head through the doors.
As you walk in you notice the staff is more stiff.
You walk on through. And head to the eleavator. The door final opens. You head towards Noah office. As you walk down the hallway you pass men and women in suits. You then see one is in a full exo suit. You want to scoff so bad at them but keep a straight face.
You open Noah door to his office. You here Noah talking in the tone he uses when he dosnt like somone. You come into view and see Noah and a man are talking. They both stop as soon as you walk in.
As soon as Noah sees you his face drops into consern.
The man you sworn you seen him before. Why does he looks like someone you know. Wait oh fuck.
"Ah this must be the newest instructor. $alias I have heard so much about you. Your students have the highest scores beating all students at Athena Academy. Its so good to meet you. Im President Troy Sterling."
You entire spine shivers. You look at his hand and know you have to shake it. But you remember something you cant he will know who you are.
A figuer is in front of you.
"Im sorry but what gives you the right to see who $They are." Lisa stands between you and President Sterling.
You move to the side. And see his face tighten.
"To see the mutts face again. I shall see myself out. Echolion Ill let you know what my Agents find at the faclity. Any leads I deam are apporpoite Ill let you know."
Presiden Sterling stops before reaching the door. "Ill be leaving a Small Taskforce of Agents. The Leader will contact you lter today." He walks out without another word.
Noah sits in his chair. "Damnit." You see his muscles flex.
Lisa stares at the door pissed at the man. She mumbles "I could just so easily and no one would no."
You stare at her wide eyed. She looks at you and shurgs.
Noah looks up "So now his lapdog will be here watching us and hurting innocents."
Lisa looks at him "Agent Kent got a stick up his ass."
Noah doesnt respond to that. He looks at you "Tell me you got something."
You pull out the floppy disc and the harddrive.
Noah looks at the floopy dics. "I havent seen one like this since I was your age."
Lisa looks with intrest as well.
"The dics was with some of the older tech and the newer one is wth what they experimented on with the new stuff. But the thing is the Agency did it."
Noah gets angry. You procede to tell what you found and about the records you found as well.
Noah looks up "So only two surive but they were sent away."
You nod.
Lisa shakes her head "So they might have these two subjects as agents. I guess that makes sense but stupid."
Noah turns to look outside "Well there are rumors they have condenction Agents and Soldiers to beter protect the US."
Lisa growls
You step in "So what do we do."
Noah sighs "Nothing we dont have the athority like Lady Justice does. Since we are in the United States he Can practicle turn everyone against us."
Lisa looks at Noah "This is bull shit he black mails people to stay in position."
Noah shurgs "We cant change what he does. All we can do is help when we can."
Lisa looks away. You move to sit down.
You change the topic "So you staying long."
Lisa looks up "Uh, No. I got to head back to Apollo Gate to see someone and three funrels to help with."
You look with a somber look.
Noah smiles saddly "Well you can come back if you want to. And besides We need to go their as well."
You looksuprised. Before you say something Noah shakes his head.
Lisa smiles sligtly. "Ok well I guess Ill see you tomorrow."
Your eyes stay focused on Noah. As you hear the door closed.
Noah cuts in "We need to see Lady Justice about this. And yes your Students are going all of them as a excersie. But Me and your team will be in a meetings."
"What arnt you telling Me Noah?"
He looks at his drink "Something that she will tell you."
[[Next|51]]<h1>Pov- Azalea Graves</h1>\
<h4>Location- Apollo City</h4>\
You look at the Gold and Silver decore that symblozes the Thrallens. You smile slightly but it dissappears. You think back at what you left to come here. Why you left. Your family showed no intrest in your life they were just trying to marry off your siblings. You touch your scales on you back. They are very sentive to touchand can relese farmons when around a person at will. You are one of the few whos scales can do this. Simple because many Thrallens are no longer psionics.
You know why you wear the envirmental suit but you like the freedom in your arms. Thankfully the Empress passed a Law that allowed it to be possible to show arms or even Legs. You pull up the suit it stops at your elbows whil on your legs its has slits on the side.
Ding.
You walk over to you computer. You see two messages.
The first one is from The Minstery of Souls. You dont even read it you open the second one its from Lady Justice.
"Azalea, I need you to come by my office I got somethig you want to see."
You wonder what she could mean. Maybe its something to get your mind off this shit.
You put on your vail. and move to open the door. You walk past other heros. You ignore their looks. You dont care why they look the only person who matters is Lady Justice. She is the only person worthy of the Thrallens aid. You open Lady Justice door. You see Lady Justice on the phone. She sees you and waves for you to come in. You move over to see her photos.
You see quite a few. It suprise you that you are in a couple. But your eye catches one in paticular. Its a Picture with Echlion and two students of his. If you rember their names were $name and Vixen. $name lost control and killed students. You feel sorry they went though that. But know they are in a better place. Vixen her best friend threw herself into work. You shake your head to sit on the coach.
Lady Justice countinies. "Yes, I have a meeting." You notice her hand is tapping on her forarm. " I do want to be around you Johnny. I just got-." Lady Justice pulls on her hair "Im sorry Johnny. I can be their by." She puts down the phone and takes a shuddering breath.
After a couple seconds she turns to you. "So why a I here." you get to the point because normally you spend time in meditation.
She looks atyou and hands a file. You open it. You dont belive your eyes. "Impossible."
"Sadly its not."
"We need to fix this. But if."
"I know Azalea. Thats why I contated Echlion. He has a Team thats found somrthing connected to it."
She hands you files on them You see three students and a mentor.
"How will they even be able to help." She just looks at you. You start to look at the files oh thats why. "As long as they help."
She nods "They are already here. The meeting will be in 30 minites at the Annex."
"Ok ill be there" you stand up to see Becca enter.
You leave before they talk. You decid to head to the garden. As you enter you see your favorite flower or well Earth flower. YYou sit and just relex for a while. you eventally get up and figure you need to go. You get to the Annex after a while.
As you walkin you see Lady Justice talking to Echlion and Lady Jade. You see Becca is sitting of to the side. Vixen is looking out side the rain is very heavy. You then see the three students all smiling about somthing.
Then you see $Them. Your body stops. $They are so, no. NO! I wont go through that again.
You more you hand to your forarm and add pressure and get rid of the feeling. But it doesnt go away you need to mend now. But you cant just leave.
"Hey you ok."
You turn to the voice and see $They are right there.
You cant speak.
Scales starts to feel hot.
$They touches your arm. You eyes widen at the feeling.
You get control and pull away. "Im fine, I was in my mind for a second."
$They smile slightly "Good."
You notice everyone start to sit at the table. You move to a seat by Becca.
[[Why Now? I Thought I could only have One. You focus on the meeting.|52]]
You look around at the people at the table. The Thrallen was quite serius more serious then hoe Lisa talked to you. You wonder why she seem so entranced. You didnt know why you touched them it was just an urge to. Before you can think further on that.
"So as of now anything said in this room is kept between us."
Lena grins about to joke, but Lady Jdae throws her a look.
Lady Justice countines. "The facelity you found was abanden by DS officially when the invasion hit. Unofficially the US sent a small research team back after the war. Until a year ago they left becaue the Villians started to push into the area. But from what you found and the drives someome try to redo what they tried to accomplish."
Lady Justice dims the lights and turns on a projector. It shows old images that correlat with the faclety.
"The prople that came after they were sucessful in the research."
Jenny lens on the table "What exactlly were they doing then."
Lisa growls "Does it matter. My team was killed."
Becca focus on the pictures "It does. if you cant see that then your an idiot."
Lisa throw Becca a look. Becca ignors it.
Lady Justice sighs "They gave a person who went through the Privation powers."
Everyone is speechless.
Your body freezes.
//Hows that possible//
//Does that mean//
Lena speaks up "Bull Shit"
Jenny slaps Lena arm "Ok, thats impossible right."
Lady Justice looks at Becca.
Becca stands "Not exctly. Athol was able to do it with his victims. How ever the man is belived to be dead after last years incidenr in Apollo Gate."
You look around at everyone confused. Lena gets up. Jenny goes after her.
Noah sees your face and explans "Athol attacked a park but also several other places. With a device but he died in the park with several innocent civlians."
You notice Lady Justice is at the window and Lady Jade has a hand on her back.
Becca is staring at Lady Justice with anger in her eyes.
Noah countines "It was a young women a child really and he forced her body to change. You unleshed a sonic scream and killed 60 people. The London rangers were there but it was to late."
You see Noah leaving something out "What happened to the girl."
Noah doesnt answer.
The Thrallen answers "She died. her body just could not handle what Athol did to her."
Scott looks at Noah "If this so big then wheres everyone. The Silver Gurdians, London Rangers where is the big names."
Noah looks at Lady Justice.
Lady Justice nods "We are no longer to gether.'
You, Scott, Lisa and the Thrallen are suprised.
Lady Jade takes over "A lot changed after the war. All them went in their own ways. After Aspens death they just couldnt get along." Jade looks at Lady Justice and Noah.
"No one agreed on anything."
Scott taps his fingers "Thats why some are on TV and others are in poor areas."
Lady jade nods her head "They wont help us even if we asked."
LadyJustice peps in "Raven would but shes busy in Chicgo right now."
Scott looks down "Alright just send me the files and Ill reach out to some contacts."
Becca nods "Done"
Scott walks out.
The meeting ends.
Lady Justice walks up to you "Oh i totly forgot to introduce Azalea. They are a new member and also a Thrallen. Depending on the missions they might be on one with you."
Azalea smiles slighly. They wave and move towards the board.
Lady Justice then looks at you she tilts her head.
"Something wrong?"
She shakes her head "No sorry. Ill be at the command area If you need me. Haav a great time while you are here."
You look at the time //10:23//
You guess you could go check on your students.
[[Next|53]]You leave the room and are swollowed by the crowd of people walking in the hallway. You make your way to the floor where your students are. You see the room and head in.
The room is very loud. You see your cllass and three others.
A women walks on stage with a pink revlective mask. Based on how she looks you would guess shes a student then you see her badge.
Ah a student that is on the Silvergurdinas assulat team.
She looks at you and tucks it away.
She looks at everyone else and claps her hands.
Clap Clap Clap Clap
"Alright if could please ask you all to ShUt UP."
All the students throw her dirty looks.
"Oh I got you attentain.I dont give a shit." She pulls out a tablet. Now we have Visters from The White Hawks Academy."
She starts clapping some studens clap others boo.
She turns towards the noise.
"You in the Deans office. NOW!!"
The student gets up and leaves.
"Hi, my name is Atlas."
You notice she focuse on you.
30 mintuse later going over what to expect the next few days.
"Alright that was boring now my favriot part. Your rankings. Now please look to the left. This one is class rankings so all your cassmates together. Now the one on the right is indivdual. This one is the fist 100. Now their are 4 classes."
She clichs the clicker. Athena Academy. Silver Acedemy. Hawks Acedemy. Rangers Academy.
You clinth your teeth Thrid the adasidity.
"Now no one get their feelings hurt. These is tempory. Now to the sc-"
A student yells out "The Hawks wont even need to know. After all they will be last."
Many students burst out laughing.
The women looks at you then back at the student.
"Enough" she snaps her finger and the student is pulled towards her.
The student trys to move but cant.
"No how about we take a bet hmm." Its clear shes not asking. The student nods.
"Good." She turns to the screen. "If the Hawks are number one you have to transfer out." The student looks mortifyied. Some even protest. Atlas puts her hand up. "But if you are right I will pass you for the semester."
She kneels down "Deal." The student nods. Atlas stands and pats their head.
The screen then shows White hawks number one. Silver Gurdians, Athena Academy and finaly Rangers Academy.
Everyone is speechless. Atlas doesnt "No go talk to the Dean." then the indivduial starts to show. "No please go to your assign dorms and the rest of the day is yours."
Your students wait till you dismiss them. Then they finally leave at you go.
You Start to walk towards the door. But you hear your name.
"Hey $alias." you turn to see the avarage height women. You see that she really likes pink and black.
"Something I could help you with Atlas was it."
You notice her shiver a second. "I just wanted to tell you that you are proble the greatest instructor and that if you ever need help call me. Ill be there." she hands you a card.
You take the card. It has a smily face on it. When you look up shes wlking at the door.
She turns to look at you and stops.
Atlas lifts her mask till you see her smile. "See you soon-"
The last word you couldnt hear. Then shes gone.
[[Next|54]]<h1>Pov- Atlas</h1>\
You fall on the ground gasping. You look up to see Raven.
"What the fuck Raven."
She says nothing.
You stand on the roof and look at the Silver Gurdians tower.
"Report."
You sneer. You pull of your mask and move to her side.
You smile "Hey how are you Atlas." you gasp and put your hand to your chest "Oh Raven i didnt know you cared. Well I just got suck through a portal and also just meet-"
Raven turns and stops you "Atlas you know you of all people cant be around $them."
You look down "Its not fair. $they were." You cant finish your words.
Raven nods. Her cowl like always keeps her expression calm.
"I gave $them my card."
Raven says nothing
"I wont just stand by this time Raven. Not after last time."
Raven sighs "Just know $name cant know who you are."
You tighten your jaw.
"Will you help this time."
Raven tilts her head "Yes, Vanessa has aready called me. Just keep an eye on your task. Ill protect $them."
You taken abake. "Promise."
Raven nods "I promesed Athena and now i promise you."
You hug Raven she just accepts the hug.
Raven steps to the edge "Ill keep in contact." Raven jumps off the roof.
You smile and shimmer to the ground. You see servel students. Some wave at the sight of you you skip over to them and start to talk to them. Many are from $alias class waning to talk to you.
[[Next|55]]You stare out side the bay window. The rain is heavy. You hear footsteps come beside you. You look out of your pariffile.
"Noah."
Noah grunts. "You know tha Thrallens have a machine that alters the weather."
You turn to look at him. "So why so much rain. We could have a sunny day."
Noah chuckles lightly. "Well we could go to los Angles for that." You roll your eyes. You know full well he hates Los Angles.
Noah looks at another Tower like building "They perfer it from what I learned. They do set I belive 4 months for summer the rest is a mix of snow and rain."
You turn to stare at Noah. "Noah whats that tower over there." Your curis he hasnt taken his eyes of it.
Noah barly looks at you "Lets say a paticluar bastard owns that tower." Noah scoffs "Its in the past. Do you need anything before I get swept up in meetings."
You tilt your head "Lena looked upset and so did Lady Justice when the date was brought up."
Noah breaths out "Lady Justice was there and witness the carneege and anything else thats for her to tell." Noah turns his body towards you. "With Lena, I belive you should ask her. And talk to Jenny and Scott aswell." Noah leavs you to yor thoughts.
You close your eyes to think you start to feel a surge but then its gone before you can get a read on it.
You turn to walk out but start to lose balance. You fall but before you hit the ground crimson armor is the last thing you see.
[[Next|56]]//Wake Up//
You eyes snap open. You see that you are in a low light room. You see servel people in black armor. You look at your hands. They are shaking. You feel someone grab your arm. You look up and see a women with blonde hair. She took her helmet off. Her face is concern.
"Are you alright $name." Her eyes look at your hands "Itll get better I promise."
You mouth moves on its own. But not like before.
"They made me I cant. Why I just wanted to subdue them." The women takes your hands in hers.
"We'll talk more at base."
Suddenly a man in blue armor stands up "Bree stop talking to the subject. We have orders."
Bree pats your hand "You know litunite. Im the commander so how I want to treat $them. IS UP TO ME."
Bree the women summans servel daggers and throw them at him. Impaling him to the wall. You hear gurgling then nothing.
Bree looks at the other "NOW does anyone else object to how I treat our new teammate." No one speaks up but all agree.
Bree turns back to you. She puts out her hand "Give me your hand." You do it slowly She examins your hands. "You will be able to summan them easier in the future." Bree then summans a small ball of energy. "This will heal you but you will have scars." You hear a mumled "Sorry."
Bree stands and looks at you. Everyone has left "Ill get you out of here. Thats a promise ill keep."
You vision blurs. You slup back. Bree grabs you but then everything fades.
[[Next|57]]You wake up in pain. You hands burn in a feeling of a thousand needles.
You eyes adust to see a crimson figure "Lady Jade."
She looks at you "At this point call me Jade." You see her hand has a light coming out. "So it seems you have powers after all."
"Impossible I was." how you didnt feel anything. "What are they."
Jade looks at your eyes. "Hmm I cant say for certain. But I did see you summan blades. However I dont think its that simple."
"What do you mean?" Jade stops her nullification.
"When I stoped your powers I felt you obsorbed some of my essence. So I guess you can copy powers but to a certain degree." Jade hlps you stand. "My advice. Tell only the people you absolutly trust." Jade walks to the door. " If you have need of help contact me."
Before you ask how you feel a card in your hand. Its her personal number.
You sigh and put the card away. You look at you hands. Bree who was she and why did she help you. You try to foces on the memory but you get a sudden pain. You get fragments of Bree some are you to training and other moments. You were close.
The fact you have powers and also were in some sort of military group. You rember the insigna. Youll have to look it up when you get to your room.
You pick up your phone and see a meassage from Scott.
"Hey we all decided to do our classes."
"Mine ended early."
"No i didnt hurt anyone."
"Well ok I did but its complicted."
"look if your pissed i did that just come meet me. At the cafe shop."
You smile your not exactly mad but would like to know what Scott did.
You message back
* <<link "\"Ill be down there in a few.\" you shurg." "58">><</link>>
* <<link "\"Scott what did you do.\" you grin." "58">><<set $intimidating -= 3>><<set $emotional += 3>><</link>>
* <<link "\"Oh a Cafe, be there in a few. Also Scott.\"" "58">><<set $intimidating += 3>><<set $emotional -= 3>><</link>><!--[[58]]-->
Cafe was an understatement. Its like a temple to all things coffee. You just stand in awe of it. You then feel someone brush past you. You look and see Scott on his laptop.
As you get to him. Sott looks up. "Hey $alias. So I reached out to my contacts so far zip on it but I did get info on the program." Scott turns the computer to you. "The project was not just unoffical but completly blacklisted. They killed all the scientes involved and personal." You read over its the same nonsense from earlier. But a signiture catchs your eye. "You see it to why would the president sign of on it then blacklist it." You shurh not knowing forsure. Scott looks at the screen if the project suceeded than Telepaths would exsit. That would mean what the President did 10 years ago to $name would put im in the shit."
You eyes widen at you name. "Scott how do you know abou $name."
Scott jaw clentches "Well when i was younger i was an ass to everyone. I guess a lot like Lena but i didnt care for anyone. But one day I was going to this comic store. And this villan I never got a name but he used his powers and a manholecover came flying and hit me in the spine." Scott takes a deep breath. "All i rember from the on was these wings they glowed and it was beutiful. Then I was in the hospital. I had surhery and all it was a big deal. After all my family had the money to burn on the bastord son." Scott closes the laptop. "I was told my ablitys were useless. I was heartbroken. I sat in that bed for six months. But as soon as I could have vistors $name visted me everyday. Even convenced me I could be a hero still. So i vowed to one day fight along side $them. Scott starts to fiddle with his glove. "When I got in at the Athena Academy. I was supprised. $name said i would be a perfect fit. I was in class one day and saw the news. The news said $they killed 20 students 3 insturctors and then the rest were all crictical." Scott tilts his head "I belive $they are innocet still. After all its just not possible for one ablity to not exist."
You look at your hands on the tabble. A number. You never focued on it. Sure killing is sometimes nessocery but those were teachers and fellow classmates. You feel bad for not rember scott as well. You see it now. You were happy to visit the kid you saved him but you never knew hi family didnt care for him. After all the little boy had a smile on his face. You were his hero and didnt know. You look back to Scott.
"So you think the President covered it up to save his ass. And possible kill any telapths he comes across." You grimace as the words came out.
Scott grabs his coffee. "Yes and I will prove what that smug shit did."Scott looks more determnd than ever. You see some girls checking out scott. You smile and kick his foot.
Scott looks up "What the hell?" You smile and point your head to the girls. Scott looks at them then back at you "The only one id considered is the deomon looking one." You chuckle
"Why dont you go talk to her while I got check on Jenny."
Scott nods "Alright just be mindful $alias. This place has ears." Scott point to his ears then walk to the group of girls.
You take your phone out and find Jennys contact.
"Hey Jenny did you get out of your class yet."
Jenny types back. "Hiii."
"Yeah I got out."
"A bunch of them are mean."
You mumle a curse "What they say."
Jenny types then it disappear. "Well they talked about family day coming up. And this Girl I guess she didnt like me. And well.."
You know full well what that girl did. "Jenny where are you."
No response.
"Jenny."
"Roof."
You get up and march towards the elevator. As the door slide together you see Scott flirting with the deman girl. You smile at the sight.
[[Next|59]]Shit a thought crosses your mind. The roof fuck its raining. The door opens and instead of rain its dry like a normal day. You notice a forcefeild is blocking the rain. Its quite beutiful. You than see cat ear headphons. Jenny. You walk over to her. She turns to you startled. You see her eyes are red. Jennys been crying. That bitch.
Add flavor text.
Your eyes soften "So you want to talk about it." Jenny fidgets. She pulls her headphons down.
"It was going well. I made some new friends. Then they left. The new class came in and this girl she was just being ugly to me."
Jenny hands tighten together.
"Did you try anthing Jenny."
Jenny shakes her head. "No. She had this ablity to make everyone belive her. So it was impossible to do anything."
You growl at that "Compulion or whatever." she nods. "Did you call your parents." Jenny chokes a small sobb.
"You know its not your fault. I made it pretty hard for people to know." Jenny say sadly.
You dont understand. "I was adopted." Oh that. Wow. Jenny giggles "Yeah, nobody knows that. My Parents they did what they could and they told me a couple years ago." Jenny pulls out a small locket. Jenny takes your hand and puts it in it. "Turns out. This was all that they left for me." You look at the small locket. You open it a picture of two young parents with a child. "I dont care im adopted. But the fact is in my family im the only powered and I dont exctley connect with them. Mom and Dad try. But they just are to busy with my siblings."
You listen to jenny for a while. She vents for a while. Youve become a comfort for her. And are ok with it. "So jenny." She peps up. "Yes."
"I was wondering why become a hero. You could be what you wanted to be."
Jenny smiles at that "Hmm its a bit complacated." You squint your eyes. "Well you know the hero Aspen right." You nod. Jenny eyes light up. "She single handly united the restince. And not only that but she formed the orginal gurdians when she just got out of high school. I actully have all posible collector items of hers. But shes the reson or well one. The other one would be because of this duo. They never had names. But they were like total badass." Jenny pulls out her phone and shows a picture of Lisa and you. You smile at that.
You jand the locket back to her. Jenny smiles at you.
"You like Lena." Jenny eyes widen and ears turn red. "What- NO no." She looks away embarsed. You suspected but was not sure. "Jenny. Im not saying anything but if you did well Im sure itll work out."
Jenny fidles with her headphons. "She looks at me as a sister. I dont want to ruin that. Plus shes got her own problems."
You move to sit beside her. "Lena was affected by the Surge wasnt she."
Jenny hums. "Did you know she was a dancer." You look suprised. Jenny smils. "Lena doesnt talk about it. I found out when I went to a show in New York lsat year. They had a picture of the group. And she was there. I asked and she said she was." Jenny shakes her head.
You bith sit in silance
Jenny breaks it first. "How do you Echolon?"
You look at her "Im not sure what you mean.?"
"$alias dont do that. You listen to him when something happens. Im just wonder how long you have known him."
You smile "He raised me." Jenny eyes widen. "Raised you?" You nod. "Wait does that mean hes your dad." You gasp and swollow air at the sametime. "No, no. he saved me when I was a child." Jenny eyes widen "Oh um." jenny looks away.
"Do you know what your parents look like." You look at her saddly. "No." you look at the time "I best get going."
Jenny puulls out her phone "Let me know when you get back. So we can all eat together."
"Will do." you leave Jenny with her thoughts.
[[Next|60]]On your way to Lena you stop at a plack. You read it..

</center>\
You laugh. Honestly its pretty simple just do the right thing and try to be a good person. Ofcourse your seen the kids who just want the credit and glory but not actually work.
You pass student and come upon a croup of kids in a circle You push your way through. You see a girl with fire for hair. "You think you so great." You see the girl get in oh wow. Lenas face. Lena sees you and barley shakes her head. You will respect her descion. You lean on the nearst wall.
Lena pushes her away. "Oh Im great. I got $alias as my Mentor." Lena grins. The girl gets more pissed "Yeah, the Mentor with no powers." People start to laugh. Lena eyes darken. You dont care not about this. "Thast really great and sad. You left all this foe what a stupid Mentor." Thats when Lena hits. "Dont deamen $alias. $They have done more than you ever will. After all your just a mere shadow of daddy." The girl lunges"You bitch." Lena dodges and flips the girl. "No your little girlfends the bitch." Lena adds pressure to the hand shes holding. "I knew it was you. Is that why you showed up her because she hurt that fakes feelings." Lena lets go of her hand. You see her face wince. The girl stands back up. "I should have known. You always liked the fakes." Lena gets pissed. And rushers her. You see the fire girls hands. What thats what she wants. Fire shoots out. Lenas gone. You move from your spot. The girl start to freak out. Before you get to close. "Take that bitch." Lenas voice. then wham. You see lena appear and hit her in the back of the neck. She falls to the ground out cold. Lena stands up with a smile. "Supreds you didnt I $alias."
At the mention of your name everyone looks at you. Many run at the sight of you. Others look ashemed and move out your way. You move past them and past lena. Lena follows after you. "You were worded."
Add coded
"What was she talking about." Lena smile sharpens. I got the girl who humliated Jenny." You walk through another door. "What you do." Lena laughs "Well I set a lillte bobm with plyster and slim." Lena put her hands together and makes them seprate insuation a boom. "It was hiloures. She was screaming "GET OFF, GET IT OFF." Oh it was great. Then I decided to pay that one a visit." You nod and cant help but smile. "You knew them." Lena goes quiet. "I thought I did." Lena doesnt explain so youll leaave that foe another time.
You then walk into a threater. Your trying to figure out how you got tutned around. You dont notice Lena is shock still.You turn to look at her. Lenas whole body is shaking. You see her eyes look full of fear. You know that look you get in front of her. "Lena, Lena I need you to come back to me." Lena blinks. And looks at you. You see tears forming. "Im sorry." Lena pulls away and runs out the door. You follow after her. When you reach the hallway you dont see her. Lenas gone. You get a message. from Noah pick you up in 45. Shit you need t get ready. You send a message to Jenny to check on Lena.
You chose a simple outfite for the furneral and a black domino mask. You are siting inbetween Noah and Lady Justice. You see Noah is looing at the other heros and soldiers. Then you hear a snap. You look at Lady Jade. She broke the pen she was holding. "Those Basterds." You see serveral agents walk in. Lady jade is up before Noah can say something. Lady Justice stops them. Lisa is just a few steps away and enters as well. "Hey Noah who are they." Noah loooks at the group and grimences. "Thats the Presedent litle outfit. The Directive of Spector." You look at the expensive suit sthey wear and notce somethin. "Modifided." Noah Hums. "They are. American children taken in and expermented on." You dont understand. "Noah I thought the laws prevented it." Noah clentchs "Yes but before the law was set they already had them. I dont know muchh more but the Kids are not listed. Ive heard rumers that they are artificial created but i dont know." You nod in understanding. They kept it hush hush aand know they have a wholehunting agency loyal to the country. You look over the Agents again and notice that they all leave but two. The one who has white hair and a resporato on seems to be in charge."Whose the white haired guy?" You wonder if Noah knows sense he knows alot. "Agent Kent Huxley. The presdent Leasion." Leasion. "You mean hes the one to be around us." Noah nods. You grumble. Agent Huxley moves to sit in the back. He makes eye contact and nods to you and Noah. You notice his eyes widen then squint. You dont get to process much. Lady Justice walks back to you. You see she wore her armor. Even when her armore has black and gold you notice a small locket on her neck. Lady Justice flashes you a small smile and sits down. You see Lisa is with a women looking vaguly like the women in the casket. Shes leaning on Lisa heavliy.
You sit through the funeral tilll you cant. Yo start to get flashes. They go to fast for you to figure out. You start to get a headach. Noah notices and so does Lady Justice. Lady Justice whispers "Come on lets get some fresh air." You nod. Noah looks at Lady Justice and stays. With some help, mainly with Lady JUstice help you both walk out without making a scene. When you get outside Lady Justice pulls away. But maks sure you are on a surface. You notice where her skin is in the gapes of her armor has ice on it. "Are you ok." Lady justice voice comes out soft and soothing almost in a mortherly way. "Just Goy a bad head ach." Your not going to meation the visions you know better. Lady Justice laughs. You look up at her. "Im sorry I dont mean to laugh but $name. You really think I would just belive that." Your eyes widen "How did you know?" Lady Justice smiles and sits on the bench beside you.
The wind blows and some leaves falls. Lad Justice catchs a leaf. It freezes as she touchs it. She lets go and it melts into the air. "Noah didnt tell me. So dont blame him. When you first enter the confrence room I knew. To be honest I suspeted when I first heard about this New Instructer and Noah gave them a strik team." Shit if she knows then who else. Lady Justice removes her mask. Her skin is white. Simular to that of a dead persons. "So where were you?" You getting tired of that question. "I dont know." Lady Justic seems disappointed. "Im sorry." her words suprise you. "To have lost that much time. Im sorry." Her voice comes out as if she knows what that is like. She looks to the sky. "I doubt you rember meeting me."
"I dont rember much. I get glimps but I get a Knightmare now and then." You hate the knight mares a reminder of how horrible you are. On the inside.
Lady Justice looks st her hand. "You dont need to be hard on yourself. Not with that. Something or Someone was in charge of your body. Me and Noah tried to look for the proof but it wasnt there."
You feel your eyes water. "Rain died and everyone wanted me dead."
"NO." she says in a commanding tone. "President Troy Sterling. He wanted you dead. And used you to futher his oppisition against powered people." Lady Justice stands. "The one thing I dont get is you died or we were all fooled but still its concerning to say the lease."
You rember eairler. "Are you ok if ask why the Surgeseem to affect you so much."
Lady Justice turns to you. Her face is mixed with anger then sadness. "I- Im not comfortable talking about that yet. And plus itll take a while to explain. But I can say I knew a few people and The Leader of the Rangers who got hurt."
"Is their grave nearby?" Lady justice nods. She points in its direction. "Their body is there.We didnt let him move Rain body. As they asked to be buried beside you in case you every died in battle. But you should know yours is there as well." You just move "Thank You Lady Justice."
You go by countless graves but then you see Rains and yours. You see flowers on both graves. Fresh by the looks at it. On yours its three Lotus flowers. Youu see the colors of Green, Pink, and a Golden one. Then on Rains is a wait thats a. You pick up the flower a fucking Black Dahlia.
You start to look around the grave yard. Someone just put this here. Then you feel something you dont feel like your delf.
You see a shadow or somthing in front of you.
"You will never understand if you wont risk digging for the awnsers." The figure shoves you. "Youve gotten no where. Noah hidding something. Hell Lady Justice is hiding something. Everyone knows something your just to stupid to push for the awnsers."
You swing at the shadow. You feel a hit in your neck. You pul out a trank dart.
You fall to the ground. You see heavy boots then yur out cold.

You wake up feeling dizzy. You hear metal scraping from wind. You feel somthing wet on your hands. Mud or blood. Or both.
You try to see but realie the black blag is on your head. You see multiple shadow of movements.
You hear a door slam. "What the fuck are $they doing here." A femine voice yells.
You hear footsteps behind you back away. "Oh no. You dumbass stay right there."
A figure steps in front of you. "I saw a shot and I took $them." The man speaks blunty.
You see the women shape and hit him. "You fuckin dumbass. The boss said to watch not."
She proceds to hit him. "We are fucking dead. Dead." Yo start to zone out. T
Another womens voices comes back "Wait pleace I didnt. They-" you hear a gurgler.
You then see thewomen in your view. "I told you to watch and report. Now you all need to go."
You hear a whistle. And then a growl. You hear the screams of the people around you.
The figure steps in front of you. They remove the hood. You see a strikeing women with sharp features. She undoes your bounds.
"Sorry to meet like this $name." You recognie her voice. How?
Your eyes get heavy and you fall forward.

<h1>Pov- Atlas</h1>\
As you wrap up your lesson on the teachings on portals. You neraly slump. You hate teaching portals it gives you a headach. As the last student leavs you rase your hand and slam the door.
You pull off your mask. You cant handel the body well. It just feels wrong. You open your desk drew and pull out a blue and silver vile in a syringe. You jab it into your arm. You fall against the desk from the pain.
"Fuck." You body start to shimmer from the vile. Itll hold you over till next dose.
//Hopefully.//
You move to grab your jaket then undo your hair. It falls down. You then pick up your mask and move towards your room. You use the back door as a tempory portal. You nearly fall into your room.
The one ting you hate is the after effects. Your body starts to sweat. You hit the panel near you. Your pod comes out of the wall. You strip and climb in.
Authrazion granted.
Now for the pain.
Needles stab you your breathe is getting heavy. You start to dose off.
You rember before
before everything.
Your sitting in a white room with multiple scientest around you. "I cant belive you want to send her. Shes a child." Kate was always looking out for you and the others. Nil. Nil wanted to just use you and eveyone else as test subjects. Thinking back thats all you were a test subject.
Nil won the arguement. You were sent to another facality. You lived in labs for years. Then in a bucker for another six years. When you reach the bunker you were push to your limits. You nearly died on 5 different occuscens.
You still rember seeing sunlight for the first time. It was so wonderful you cried. But it burned. Burned in a way that made people laugh. You had no friends. You became a punching bag for the others. You finial had enough.
You slaughter them all. No ones powers hurt you. You move through them one by one. Till no one was left. The bunker was slight. You left that place but you made sure to destory everything. You stood in the middle of the desert.
You picked a direction and just followed it. You do eventually came across a city and it was grouges. You saw humans and the Thrallens.
Then you heard gun shots and what sounds like metal crushing metal. You move towards it.
You still remember the men. They were just shooting citizens. You moved in and took them down. Or tried to. You took down two but then were shot. It was first time you felt pain. Real ain.
You were still consciouse for the next part. You saw a group of three heros storm in and take them down.
That was the first you saw $them. When $they saw you were taken to the tower to be patched up. You rember feeling a steady heartbeat. Before you passed out.
You woke up to yelling.
"Why the hell is that thing here." the man pointed at you. "Shes not a thing Ken. She has the same rigghts as us."
The man Ken throws his hands up. "Are you fucking deaf. That thing murdered two people Jet." Jet punchs kin. "Those two assholes killed civlians. So ill take the blow back. And since you want to act like this your benched."
Ken covered his nose. "Your benching me. No I quiet. Your not who I thought you were Jet. And Ill let every one know."
Ken left the room. Jet turns to you.
$Their face is feeled with releif. "Your up"
From then you both had a long conversation. One to tell $them who you were and where you came from. You learned so much. But you had to join $them as people would want yur head.. So you agreed. You wanted to help protect the people as it was right.
Then you were given the mission that was the most dangoures every taken. You still rember the arguement Jet was so angrey. It was a horrible fight. You should have told $them. But you were a coward.
Then a week before you left $they died in your arms or thats what he wanted you to think. Theres alway someone pulling the strings. And youll make sure thall never happen again.
You open your eyes.
"Cycle is complete." the competer dings.
When you get out of the pod you examain your body. "Good as New." you smile. You woont stand aside this time.
Youll protect the Goddess chosen.
Theyll need it. For whats to come. What you know is coming.
Bang! Bang!
You move to open the door. You open to see Azalas face.
"$alias is gone. Someone took $them."
You grab your mask and move past them. Dammit $they should have been safe given you enough time to breath.
"Go Ill track them Azalea. Ill call when I can sense $them." Thats a lie you wont sense them they are not trackable. Youll need to speak to a more criminal element. And you got a good guess who did it.
[[Next|61]]<h1>Pov- Unknown Women</h1>\
You catch $name. You had your suspecesion but are happy you were right. Sam starts to whimper. "Im sorry boy. Lets go home." Sam barks. Sam runs and dissolves. That cheeky sucker. You pull $name closer.
You manage to get $name out. Of the buliding. You put $them in the car. You try to put $them in the back seat as comfortable as possible.
You then see multiple heros swarm the buliding. Looks like they notice . "Shit." You start the car and drive. Once you get cleard of the patrol cars and baracades. You pull out you phone.
"Call Mistress" The phone rings three times "Yes." she short like always.
You hear other voices in the background. "My fucking contractors decide to kidnap $name."
You hear her start to move. "What." You hear Mistress grunt pushing peolpe out her way. "I thought. You said these humans were reliable."
You mumer. "I dealt with them." You pause. "Why did you pouse. What else." you sigh "I have $them in the backseat."
You then hear her curse in her lauange. "Take $them to the thrallen embassy. NOW!!!" the phone hangs up. Shit you knew she be mad but not like that.
You know who $name is. Or well you knew who they were before. But you know your not the only one who suspected mind control.
You speed up passing servell vechiels. The humans are planning something or atleast the President the man in charge is.
Your Mistress didnt like him. After all to see someone true nature is her gift. You just want to leave here but Mistrees wants to stay. You cant fathom why.
Damminr you need to focues. You then see the beauty of the Thrallens.
The gate opens and your waved through.
As you park servel attendings await. You look at them all. Her Loyal followers. "Get $name in and put $them down as $alias." They all nod. You watch them take $them in. You head to your office to make some phone calls. Time to make a convincing Lie.

The dream fades away. But the blood stays the stinch or iron stays on you. You see all the bodys. Some look so old that your sure you didnt kill them. Or did you.
You get control again. "Who the fuck are YOU."
The person laughs. The person no the man before you is vile.
The man tilts his head "Intresting. You cant rember me. I guess I shold have listen to my second." His face tights with anger. "I wont see you agian till you rember me." He starts to walk away.
You march after him. You grab him. He turns. His golden eyes are filled with hate. You snarl "Who are you." He shakes his head "You wont rember till you see your true self." You dont understand.
His eyes soften "You need to wake up now. After all some one wants your attention. Shes been very patioant for you."
He moves away. "Dont worry Devora. You can have everyone this time. But Ill take it all away again. And your going to have to kill me." He laughs and laughs. Then his eyes widen. "That bitch."
You start to feel your body to shake. the man disappears.
[[Next|64]]You wake up to a small child poking you. A thrallen child. You see a smile on her face.
"Your a human." She squeals. She starts to hug then stops. "Can I hug you?" Your about to respond when Two thrallens walk in.
The women walks over two you the man closes the door. "Ana I told you to not disterbe your mothers guest." Ana pouts "Its not like that." The women puts her hands on her hips. "Then whats it like your ladyship."
Ana mimks her. "$They were having a bad dream. I waked them like you alway did to me." The women then looks at you. But not at your face. You feel a shiver down your spine. "Do not worry i didnt read your mind. I only can tell if you had a bad dream or thought. No I cant see what it was." She turns and heads for the door.
She stops at the door. "Ana stay here. Your mother will be here shorty." She leaves without a second glance your way.
Ana turns to you. She fidgets with her mask. You notice you can oly see the glow of her eyes and a outline of her face. "Dont mind my Tante. Shes like that with everyone." You reach for your mask and notice it is gone. Ana looks at you. She runs to the other side of the bed and hands it to you.
"Dont worry about your face. It still looks as wonderful from before." You cant help but smile. Ana taps your hand. "Im sorry I saw your face. Thats why my Tante didnt look at you."
"Wat do you mean." you ask grntaly. She lights up at your question or was it your voice.
"Well if you notice we the thrallens always wear this or a vail that covers our face." You nod at that. Thinking about Azalea. "Well we wear it because it is sacred to us. So only family or our life partners can see our face. it use to be our whole body but since coming here well the ruls change so we can show skin." She twirls.
You see her envirmental suit is a dress. Her arms have wraps on but you see most of her arms. She plops on the bed. You start to look around the room Its decreated very elegantly but you noted taht it very minimalist as well.
"Ana." She looks up at you. "Yes." you see she brimming wih energy. "Whose room is this?" Ana tilts her head. "My Mommas." You look at the bed and notice youve been changed out of your cloths. And you feel like youve been cleaned. "Oh are you looking for your cloths." Ana runs over to the closet and pulls out your cloths. "Here." she says sweetly. "Who changed me and um bathed me." Ana shurgs. "I dont know. Since you are my mommas persanol guest she would do it. She didnt allow anyone to see you."
You hear armoer boots and metal claking. You tense but you notice Ana smiles and jums to the floor. You hear the feet stop. You har the thrallens talk as if a disagreement. You then hear them go away.
The door opens and a thrallen in a envirmental suit decroated as a dress. You notice her whole body is covered by the suit completly. The women face is somewhat visible but you notice her eyes focuse on you. Something in that stare makes your body warm.
"Momma!!" Ana shouts and takes off and tthe women lifts her up. "Hello Little one."The women hugs Ana tightly then puts her down. Ana comes back to you and sits beside you.
The women giggles. "Hello, $name." You eyes widen. She waves a hand "Now, Now. Its ok." She moves to the end of the bed. "You are safe here."
You move forward a little. "Were is here exactly?"
The women walks to the wall facing you on the other side of the room. She places her hand on on the wall. The wall revels a monument of a thrallen women with a planet and three moons cirsling her.
Shit your in the thrallen embassy. She sees your flash of realization. "Your ok $name. Your safe. Your my guest so no one will hurt you."
"But doest the emprees have to approve of that." Ana gigles and the women laughs as well. You look confused between the two.
She nods "Yes Star you would be correct."
Star wait "What did you say."
"You are correct." She walks over and grabs a chair. "But dont worry about that."
[["You can call me Harmony"|65]]Harmony then looks at her daughter. "You need to get to class little one." Ana hum dissappointed. She waves to you. As the door opens you see other children pass the door. Ana only creaks it enough to leave.
Harmony smiles or at least you think so when you see her face. A part of you wants to know how she knows your real name. But you get a feeling she wont tell the truth. Harmony lens back in her chair with her leg crossed over.
"If your wondering How I know your name thats because of the Empress. She is very informed." Harmony taps on the chair. "You know our socites are not that diffrent. Let me show you."
Harmony grabs 4 blocks on her left. She moves the small table and chair. You get up and sit on the Chair. "Our socitys are not that different. So look at it like these blocks." She places them out. Each get biger the more you goo down.
"This the tan one is the bottom of the bottom. This makes up our servents and slaves. We call it Victo." Then her hand mores to the next. "This one with the tan and red is one people from the bottom can become. This makes up our soldiers and other militare ares. They are called Gruntaco."
Then she points to a block that is blue and gold. "This one makes up our scientect and dancers. Its where the entertainrment and the sciece class are on equal footing. Blue is for sciense while gold is for dancers."
Then the last one it is completle white but you notice a hue of gold in it. "This is for our prest and prestest. And if you think your seeing gold you are correct as our dancers are connected with our gods."
You see when she turns a emblme on her shoulder. But its black and gold. She doesnt notice you see it. You wonder. "Are their any more ranks." Horizen nods "Serveral in fact bu these are the main ones. As I dont have all the blockes here. There are three others. Only one however is higher than the white one."
She looks down at the blocks. "Which one is that. "She looks back up. "That would be the empresss. She is higher than the rest." She picks them up and moves them away.
"Why Is hers the highst." You hear Harmony laugh. "Honstely I dont know. I know it could be beacuse of her powers but beyond that I dont know. The prest are the ones who did it." Harmony then stands and moves to the door.
A servent comes in and place the trey down. Harmon shoos them out. "Youve been out for a day. You should eat." You put your hand up "Wait a day?" You look at the food then back to her "Do my friends know Im here.
" Harmony nods. "I talked to Ser Azalea. They handle it." Harmony takes off her main mask but a small vail still covers her vace. You tilt your head. "Ser." Harmony is cutting into her food. "Azalea is personal knight to her highness and a good friend of mine." You notice a fondness in her voice.
You eat or decide to try the weird food. Imean it looks like chiken or steak your not sure. "Can I ask what your rank is?" You see a glips of a smile through her vail. "You can." You cut into it. A green ozz comes out. You try to take a bite. It taste really good. Harmony is studding you when you look backk up. Her eyes are stricking red. But they seem to flicker. For a second you think you saw purple eyes staring at you.
Harmony is quiet for a moment. "I am what you wouuld call a special devsion. Simliar to our knights they have a black insigna but they also have it paired with silver. Mine is gold and black." She then takes a bite of her food. You can barely see her lips but you notice her skin color is not that of blue or green. Its white. the texture of it comes of as smooth but you see groves in her skin. But when you blink it changes to a light blue. Your not sure how many times it changes.
"So what does your mean the gold means dancer what does the black mean." She shakes her head.
"I was a dancer yes, but min does not correlat to that. Instaed it means im the huter my Empress would send to kill her enmy. The black is connected to psyic. Thats the only way to be a knight. I tried but I fell into another one."
Harmony stops talking you see her grab her fork harder. "You know $name if you ever want to leave this place behind I know a very beutiful place for your kind to live on." You start to respond but the door slides open. Harmony puts the pork down hard. She then puts her mask back on.
Azalea walks in and freezes st the sight of the two of you. "Im sorry I didnt know-." Harmony waves her hand "Its quiet alright. Nw I assum there are others with you." Azalea nods.
harmony stands her eyes never leav you. "It was lovlely to see you $alias." Harmony turns to Azalea "You may take $them to the confrence room. I belive The Empress left something to help our frind here." Azalea looks confused but nods reguardles.
Azalea turns to you. You look at your cloths nightly folded. "Go ahead and get dressed. Ill wait outside." Azalea moves outside.
[[Next|66]]You get dreesed ad walk out side. The hallway is huge. You look up at the pure scale of it. Atleast 40 feet high.
You then see Azalea on the otherside. You walk to them You see they are talking to another thrallen. Azalea notices you and stops talking. The other Thrallens looks at you withh disguest. They say something you dont understand.
Azalea steps forward and says something but you notice it sounds like a threat. The thrallen takes a step away and leavs. Azalea stares at them. They then turn to you "Sorry about that some of my people still look down on humans." Azalea takes a step past you. "This way."
You follow after them. "Azalea do you mind if I ask how you became a knight."
Azalea looks away from you but nods. "Well its not any glor story." Azalea face tights for a second. "I wanted to leave my home." Azalea turns and you pass serveal Thrallens. Many look at you with disguest. Some even look at Azalea the same way. "I happen to meet the Empress by chance. She said she wanted someone who could be the solder if nned be to fight for another species." The wods come out like they couldnt belive it.
"Why do you sound suprise." Azalea lets out a short laugh. "Lets say that my species is not that good or kind." Azalea stops a moment.
A group of small children pass. They stare at you with wonder. "The thrallens are a species of war or was. When the Empress took over she chaged a lot." You think abot the mouument.
"That Moument was that her." Azalea shakes her head. "No, That is the Godess Adrienne."
You dodge a cart from no where. The servent apoligezes. "Many belive our Emprise is her reencarnation. AS our Goddess stoy is much like hers." So they belive in reincarnation.
"Do yoou have any other gods." Azaea stops and looks at you. "At one point yes. However a war happen and they killed one another. You race will have no facts on this but most if not all are dead. The rest left or desided to be reborn."
Azalea walks to the panel. The door slides open. You see Jenny, Scott, Lena, and Noah in the room. You walk in and they all see you. You see a mixtre of relif and happiness. Azalea waits outside.
Befor you get to say any thing Jenny hugs you. You then feel Scott and Lena as well. Noah gets close and waiys till thay are done. He hugs you to.
Soon you all sit down. The confrence room is black all around beside the table its pure gold. "Im happy your alright kid." Noah voice brings your attention to him. "Do you know what happened." You think back and you gat a headach.
"No the last thing I rember was talking to Lady Justice then I decided to leave." You try to rember. "She pointed me in the direction of a grave." Noh lens on the table. "Whose grave." You look at your hands. You vision clouds.
A grave. You rember the shook the pain the feeling of lose. You diged and dige. You buried till your hands hurt. Then a box you opened it.
Empty. It was empty..
You rember screaming. You hit the grave stone hard. Your hand was blooded. Then you felt a pinch. A dart. The mans voice of the man who kidnapped you.
Then you were in the buildeniing thats it.
"I dont rember. It was empty." Noah start to curse. "It was empty. Buts whos grave was itto push you. Shit." Noah Pulls out his phone.
"Its me contact Lady Justice and ask her to check the graveyard." The other person talks. "Yes I belive its conected." Noah hangs up.
Azalea walks in with a file.With copies. It looks like a 1940s file. You grab one once Azalea puts it on the tab;le.
"The files have what the Emrpess dems important for your countinue protection of Earth."
You flip through them There files on some infomuse villians. Noah speaks up. "Your ruler found out about the Patheon.. And didnt tell us sooner."
Azalea looks embressed by this. "Her Highness wanted to be through and the source was questionable." Azalea sts to your right.
Noah however doednt look done. "Who was the source." Azalea doent anser. "Azalea," Azalea looks at you then Noah. "I dont know."
Noah straightnes. "You dont know." Azalea looks annoyed. "I was not prive to such infromation." their tone is short.
Noah sighs. "Im sorry. Its just all i got was rumores. Thank you and your Empress." Azalea nods.
You look at Your student all looking at the files. You havnt cared to open it. Not yet. something tells you. Not yet.
Noah growls at the file. "We need to leave." Noah stands you all follow. "Why."Jenny ask. Noah looks at the file. "If im right one of this bastards are here. The nly person to know I saLady Jade."
Azalea lead you through the corrdors and hallwys to a gruage. All the cars are very expensive. You see Noahs suv. You all get in. Azalea waves goodbye and heads back in.
As Noah drives. "Scott get in the carema network." Scott opens his laptop and starts doing it. "Who am I looking for.
Noah growls.

<h4>December 18, 2016</h4>\
You drop the women dead bod like its nothing. Soon two of your servents open the wooden doores and walk in. You cant help but smile at them. But their heartbeats. You then hear onother heartbeat. You move and grab the thrid and throw them against the wall.
"You dare." you snarl and your fangs come out. The man is treambling in his armor. "I- I just brought you the file. Lady Thea said it was ergent."
At the mention of your sisters name you drop the man. You catch the file. You turn to your desk.
"Get out." The man leavs. "Bloody fucking hell." You throw the file down.
You look at your servents. "Please clean that up. I wont be needing you today. Go haome and rest. If you run into troubl tell me." Your servents bow and proced to clean.
No one will dare touch your property not after what you did to that basterd. You open the file when the sserevnts leave.
You plug the drive in. Apollo Gate appears. "Shit." Then a picture of your target. "Vakhir." What are you doing there. You grumble. There goes my plans. You tighten your robe and open the door.
You decide to head by your armore. You stop before getting there. You see your sister at your mothers door. Shes dressed in her white dress. Thea is only older then you by 2 years. Shes pulling on her shoulder length hair. It seems she opted for blue this month.
You step beside her. "You reak." she says in her sing song voice. You slap her arm. "Owa." She turns to you fully. Thea trys to hold a face but it dosent work. "Sorry."
"You havnt open the door yet." Her face looks gulity. "No."
You look at the door. "How long since we got her out."
Thea rubs her arm. "60 years." You hang your head. "Im sorry for interupting your plans." You look up and laugh.
"Its ok and besides my girls can wait." You sister shivers. Thea doest like people the way you do you understand that. "Besides I need to find out why that bastard is in Apollo Gate." Thea nods.
"This man is becoming to powerful." You start to move. "Thea you think he is the one." She nods. Before you get too far.
A periceing scream. you and your sister rush into the room.
Your mother is on the floor. Her body is still forming. "Mother." You grab your mother. It stings to do this but you need to calm her. "Thea go get the pendent." Thea is runng out the door.
You Mother starts to form. She starts to say somthing.
"Shes alive. Devora. Shes alive." Your eyes darken at that name. The women your mother loves. The reason shes in this state. Your mother body becomes a teenager.
Your mother reprts it until she passesout. You pick her up and place her on the bed.
Thea runs back in. You move to the side. She place the pendent on your mother. Your mothers body begain changing.
You and Thea leaves. Your mothers body starts to change rapidly. You close the door.
You are suddenly hit with thoussands of souls. You hit the wall hard. Then you feel her. Devora.
Thea sits acrosse from you. "You felt her too." You nod. "Mother did as well." Thea looks down. "What do you want to do?"
You lean back. "Fuck if I know." Thea looks at the door. "Mom will want to know." You nod
"Thea how long will she be like this?" Thea stands and wips her dress. "A week. Her body will be absorbing all the essenc this world has. Its how she can shapeshift into anything."
You think back to her current state. "Were not gong to have to deal with a teenager." You laugh as soon as you say it and so does Thea when it comes out.
"Probily. But shell pick a form shes coftable with." Thea anwers with a smile. You rember Mother would always look dfferent but kept specif features so you knew who she was.
Thea helps you stand. "You still have that club in Apollo Gate?"
You smile. "Well yeah ans the other one just open in New York."
Thea nods. "Good. Ill head to the one in New York. ill make sure its run correctly."
You look suprise "What have you done with my sister." You poke her cheek.
She bits your finger. "Oww"
"Take mom to yours in Apollo Gate. When she waks up. Give her a coupl days. Then take her there. Shell need the interaction." You hug Thea.
"Got it sis." You mock salute. Thea smils at your antics. Thea opens a portal and steps into it.
You then turn back to your Mothers room. "Great time to fix our wonderful realtionship."
[[Two months later|74]]<h1>Pov-Hecate </h1>\
Your club how do you say this is probly the most fomus and proble the worst place to allow a young 20 year old to be. But thats how you make so much money.
Your Mother is lillerly running around. You feel like the Parent. Yo groan before walking out of your office.
Your dancers are getting ready. Many try to catch your eye. Others leer at you. You ignore them as they aree not what you want. You already have your wants and needs taken care of. You walk to the main room. You have many costmores there drinking and dancing to the musci playing.
You head to the VIP area. Your mother is sitting talking to servel people. You see many are entranced by her. But she doesnt show the same kind of intrest. But she does get them to see that they can be happy. You honestly dont get why but than agin your not the god.
You get closer to where she can sees you. When she sees you she jumps up and hugs you.
"Mother." your mom pouts then smiles. "Hello my little monster." You supres a grin. She has always called you that ever since your fangs came in.
"Did you get what you wanted from the humans." Your Mother grins. "Sure did." She points to a few. "I had to use my powers on them to get them to open up." You sigh. "Mother." She wavs her hand. "Hey I just set them up together. Im not wanting someone like that." Ofcourse you only want one person.
Your mother looks over your club. "I do like what you did with place. Espically the dancers reminds me when i use to dnace." Your mother smiles. Her outfite starst to slowly change to dancer silks. You see she doesnt have shoes on. "I did do it after the dancers I did enjoy being around them. They were fun compared to the pristies." You mom turns to you and laughs. "Well the priestes were more busy with there duties. You liked the dancers for resons and then your sister liked the priestes." You smile it was enertaing to say the least. "Ill be gone for a while."Her words catch you off guard.
You move towards her. "What where are you going."
She looks away. "You know where." Home. "But mom you said." She stops you. "Yes, I know. But if I dont see my parents then it will just worry them. After all I know the two of you didnt go."
You look away. "We could go back not after what he did."
Your mother nods. "Vakhir, made sure to destroy everything." Your mother lens on the raling. "I thought-." She takes a deep breath. "Devora killed that monster. I saw her sword in his chest. But it seems he had another trick." She hangs a hand out over the railing. You see her putting her energy into a spirel. "Devora was dead everyone was dead. I didnt know what to do. She was so beyond saving. I just wished i got there sooner." She makes the spirel go into the dance floor. People start to cheer louder. "Devora didnt deserve that." her tone is filled with regret and longing.
You get angry. "Why do you love her. Every time you say her name I can hear it in your voice. Just this once tell me why. You never loved my farther so why have me why couldnt you love him."
Your mother looks at you. Her eyes are filled with hurt. "Hecate." She says your name tenderly.
Your mothers face soften."Where I was born we only had one. Your farther wasnt Mine. Nore i his. His died in an accadent. No i never loved him but i did care for him. And when I had you it was one of the greatest momenst ever. And Im sure Thea feels the same and Im sorry. But i soon became this. I then was in charge of thousands of people. I could only care for you and your sister for a short time."
Your Mother then looks hurt as she looks at her hand. "I didnt just know Devora from before. She was the one who saved me."
You tilt your head. "Save you." she nods.
"I was about to be excucted for just being born what i am. Devora at the time she went by another name. But she killed the man. Then several days later I meet my predaceser. He was tired of the life. So he gave it to me. I dint know how much tme pass then I found you and your sister. And your farther was dead."
You know the rest. The years of becoming this. You then feel her arms around you. "Dont give up on your heart little one. You will find your beloved when you need them the most."
She speaks lowly. "This time- For me Im not sure if Im bound to her yet. Or if she is a her this time. One of the down falls of Recarnation. Until her power activates I will not see her nor sense her. She will just be a strage for me."
You dont know how long you two stay like this. But when you part ways she leavs into that hell.

"Im not here per the persidents orders." Lady Jade looks to Lady justice. "I asked Him to come."
Lady jade squints her eyes. Lady justice shurgs. "Can everyone take a seat." Every one sits but Noah stays standing alond with Lady Jade.
"As of now we have been given infromation from the Thrallens Empress. She decided to share this." Suddenly the screen comes on. Servel pictures display. Pisctures of different infrmation. Most is still encrepted. "As of now Zero and Scott will be decrepting it. Until then-" a suden explosion cuts her off. The tower shakes.
"Computer report."
"Scanning tower."
"Tower is not damage."
"Expolision was in the West and North distrect."
"Shit."
Agent Huxley gets an alert. "Yes. Yes sir."
He puts his phone away. Thers a group of villien trying to rob the Winter BioTechacorp. They are now in two sepret places."

"Then we need to split into two teams. Agent you go where you are needed."
"Becca, Lisa and Zero go to the north distrec." Lady Justice looks at lady Jade "You and Noah go to the west desyric. Atlas with me. "

"Becca, Lisa and Zero Lena
You walk into the garage area. Becca is suited up in an all black get up. Shes wearing glases that are conected to te comms. You see her gloves are claw like. She also has an orb that floats and lands on her hostler. You wonder what it does.
Zero looks the same but you notice two shock guns on his hips. Lena is on the hood of the car looking at Becca. You wonder where Lisa is. You hear a slight whimper. You move towards it.
You enter a hallway and stop at the cornor. You peek around and see Lisa. Not Lisa in wolf form but actuall Lisa. A part of you wants to go to her. But you know better. After all she still belives your dead. You cant see much besides her back. You decide to give her a moment. You walk towards the others. Lena notice you and smiles. Becca just looks at you with indiffrence. Zero doest even look up from his pad yet. Lisa eventuallys joins shes a fox. Her fur is a beuatyful white and her eyes have red around them. Everyone looks at her.
Becca speaks first "I dont care just dont shed in my car." Becca moves to her car door and gets in. Lena looks confused. "I though you wer like a werewolf not a." Lena just clloses her mouth. "Nevermind my brain hurtsalrady. Also shot gun." Lena gets in the car Lisa gives you a look and you dont say anything."
Now it just you and Zero. Zero hads you the pad. Theres writting on the screen.
//The two Villans in the area. and what they stole. Ill be in the comes room sending data for everyone else.//
"Thank you." Zero nods at your words and heads to the elavator.
You get into Brcca Luxuray SUV. As you get in you hand the pad to Lisa.
Becca makes sure you close the dorr before driving off. Becca huffs. "Hold on. And dont comment on how we get there." Lisa hits play on the briefing.
The two villans are the Pale Griffen and the Golden Tiger. These two have no conection with the Mare Cutters. So if possible further infromation would be aducate.
The Pale Griffen is suspected in servel Jewl robbires. And the murder of the former Vice president in Argatena.
The Pale griffrn is 5.6 tall. He transforms it the mythlogical beast known as the Griffen. He is deadly in close couters as he has talons. He is known to have three loyal fllowers with him. The device he has can hack into any thing. When retrive the device destory it. Its to powerful to exist.
The Golden Tiger. The brother of the Infomus White Tiger. Golden Tiger like his sister can summan tigers. Unlike his sister he can not transform into one. He can however make himself temporly involnerble. It i unkwn how long he can hold this. Cotion is advise. He is speclized in close couters combat and weopen training. He favors a shotgun. The round are laced with gold dust. He has a case of nullifaciton granades. If you face him be warey as if pushed in a corner he is unpradiutable.
As you pull up in the North distric where the wealthy live along with theThrallen embyss. Becca runs through the baracade set up. She swerves the car. Everyone is thrown to theleft. She then stops and parks.
"The thrallens will keep the baraceds up. When need to decide who goes where." A nerby buliding explodes. Lena looks at it. "Ill take care of fires and get people out the way." Lena sprints off to the burning buliding.
You all look at one another.

Lady Jade noah and her two body guards. Scott
You walk into the hanger and see Scott, Lady Jade noah and her two body guards. You move to get on the shuttle.
Lady Jade sits across from you. The really tall one llooks at you like she could cut you. The smaller one hits her on the head. "Dont be mean Rene." Rene towers over the women. Jade looks at them two. "I didnt say anything Rune." Run cross her arms. "Yeah right. You were tinking it. "Girls." Jade voice breaks their stare down. "Sorry." they say in unison.
Rune sits beside you. "It nice to meet you. Jadee meation you. But didnt say you looked so yummy." Your eyes widen did she just say yummy.
You hear a supesed laugh from Jade. She has a hand covering her face. You hear "Idiot." from Rene. "What $they are." Rene sits beside Jade. she still is tall in the chair.
All three wear a modern version or Samurie armor. Thats what you would call it. Jade is in full cremsion. While Rene is all black with whit throughout it. Rune is whit but has specks or the other two colors in the design.
You cant see their whole face. but their eyes are visable. Scott gets on and sits on your left. He has his rifel and data pad with him. Noah soon boards and gets in the piolet seat.
Rune lens forward "so who exactly are we fighting. And will there be any other heros to worry aboyt."
Noah starts the shuttle and flys out. "No other hero will be their. The two were dealing with are Lituntes for the Mare hunters. Scott and me will handel the evacuation. You four can decide who to go after and who to split uo with."
Scott displays the two litunates. The Bear and The Coyate.
The Bear is a 9 foot man who has the sttreanth of 10 men. He also is a hybrid between a man and a bear. He has highten senses and is nown to buter and terrize his victoms. His men are simular to him. Cotation is advise when facing him.

She is as fast as 4 people combine. Has a grade 5 regrnation. She is not to be approched as she enjoys feasting on her victoms. She also has a group of derage followers and three pet cayotes.
"Do they have anything we need to get back." Lady Jade ask Scott checks his tablet. "Yes Bear has a prototype railgun. And the coyote has a electric whip with her. Both were stolen from another place they robed."
"OMG a whip who likes wips I do." Rune shouts excidyly. Everyone goes quiet.
"Rune we dont need to know taht stuuf." Renne chstises.
"Why how bout we talk about your stuff. Like the golden-"Rene leaps acoress and covers her mouth. "No." Jade laughs.
Scott looks at them "Alright. Lets just land. Echlone are we good to go." Noah you can see is supresing a smile. "Yes we are good." The shuttle lands. The ramp opens. You see carnage and many people dead. First responders are evacing.
Noah looks at you "How about you decide $alias." the rest seem ok with that.

You approch Lady Justice. "Where are you goin?" She puts on her full helmet. "The tower. My kids are in there." Your eyes widen. Atlas stands ready.You feel her looking at you. you turn and notice she looks away. You get the sense she wants something from you. "Ill go with you." Lady Justice body stills.
"I dont thik thats a good idea. The Villians there are no joke." Jenny steps beside you. "Were going." Jenny says seriously. Lady Justice nods. Atlas starts to form a circle around you all. You all start to shimmer. "Dont get out of the circle." The room suddlenly dissappears.
You appear in the tower. The room has a hole bloen to heel to the outside. "We sucer my kids first then we deal with the bastard that did this."
You pass servel dead bodys. in the hallways. You notice some of them just rotted to death. One has acid still burning throuh them.
You step over the acid. You come upon an armored door. Thers blood on the door. Lady justice rips the door of the hinges.
You all follow her in. You hear what sounds like fighting. You all run towards the sound. You see a women in a labcout using progectiles hitting the armed mean. A young girl using arrows at lighning speed. And a boy flying and just crush through the men.
By the time you get there they alrady are done. You notice all the men and women are still breathing. The women and the boy looks a lady Justice relfed. "Mom." The boy flys and crushes into her. She doesnt move. But hugs him tight. The young women walks up to her and joins the hug. "Are you two alright." They nod.
"Yeah Johnny and Morgan here are fine mom they can take direct gun fire." Johnny sticks his tongue out. The girl Morgan you guess shes about 15 or 16. Throws an arrow at her.
The women stops it. "See your fine Sarah." Sarah throws her a look. Morgan just shurgs. "Just saying."
Johnny steps towards you "Your new." Johnny studies you. Jenny steps in front of you. "$alias doent need your scrunity Johnny." Johnny eyes light up at your name. "Your the insturcter, man. Hey Morgan. $alias is the instructer right here." Morgan blurs. Johnny head goe forward. "What was that for." You notice a blush on Morgans face.
Atlas speaks up "Ok we got them. So what now." Lady Justice looks at her."We split up and go after them." Lady justice turns to her kids and morgan. "Can you make it out on your own." They all nod.
Sarah steps towards her. "Dont worry mom we will be ok. We will go straight to your tower." Lady Justice relaxs. "Ok, wait five then go." They nod and get their stuff.
"Hey Mom they will be in the lower floors. The ones who were up here already left." Lady justice nods and move towars the door.
You all move to an elevator. The door slides open. As you enter Lady Justice pulls out a card and slides it in. She hites the SB100 butten.
"How many floors are there." You ask ooking at the consoyl. Lady justice shrugs "No idea. Adrian adds to many every year so its hard to keep count." You hear a tone of dislike when she says Adrian.
"Shookingly hes out of town right now." You hear her mumle somthing. You chage subject "Whose going to be doen there."
Lady Justice tightens her hand on the railing. It bends. "His name is Moros and his play thing Toxicant."
Jenny eyes widen at the womens name and scratches her wrist.
Atlas askes the next question. "How dangures are they."
Lady Justice grips the railing harder. "Very dangoures. Moros can open hell dimese portol. Hell he came from one. So no amount of suffering can hurt him. Where he came from he fough and slaughter the masses to be come what he is. Moros can summon gates so be ver careful. His strength matchs mine so dont get to close. And he can be very fast as well. She pulls out three bands, "Take one t will help if he hits you."
"Toxicant is just like him but hers is worse. Sh was dissolved into nothing but then became an acid like women so dont touch her try to use these." She produces nullifing darts. "Stab her with this and shell go down. She also loves spitting out acid so be careful."
The door opens. You see two trails. The left has acid and people covered on it. The right has people torn to shreeds.
Lady Justice moves towards Moros trail. Atlas follows Toxicant trail. Before you can say a word Jenny follows Atlas.
You decide to.
[[Follow Lady Justice]]<<set $Morosroute = true>><!--[[Follow Lady Justice]]-->

If you didnt know better Rune starts to boune in place "Me you chose me. Awsome." Rune hits Rene in the should and spirngs to your side. She grabs your hand and brings you along. "Alright so Big guy You let me handel him. No buts." You see Mercs with rifles walking down the street shooting law enforcment and Apollo Knights.
You and Rune duck behind a few viechelc to get closer. "I really hate guns. Justa bunch of cheats." Rune mumbles. Run looks at a gun on the ground and picks it up. "Wish me luck." Rune jumps through a small portal. But it looks like it cuts through relaty. The gun shoys stop after smaller gun fire goes off. Rune jumps back through it. "Ok we can go now." Rune stands and You follow her as she scals a few cars blocking the road.The Law Enforcement and Apollo Knights start evacuating the ciclians. Gunships land and get them out of the area.
As you get further you hear a roar in a warhouse. You and Rune look at one another. You dont hesitate and Run into the buliding.
As you get into the warhouse you see that its a tar warhouse. Tar pits are everywhere. You hear screaming. You Start to get closer till Rune grabs you. You almost make a sound. She covers your mouth. "We need to get higher or we will be like them." She waves at the people in and cover by the tar. Many are frozen in agony and screaming.
You and Rune help one another climb up on a metal beam. You can see all the armed mercs walking around with 4 hostages tied in chair. You then see Bear. He is gigante. You cant hear what he says as he on the otherside of the warehouse.
He is currently talking to a busness man. He grabs the man and force the man to swollow the tar. His screams are muffle by it. You watch in disgudset. Rune says something that sounds aribic. She starts to scan the area as you did earlier.
You have it two ways. Take down the Mercs or rescue the hostages.
[["Ill take the Mercs."|Bear Mercs]]
[["Ill get the hostages."|Bear Hostages]]
Rene does physicl show she suprise but her eyes are bewhildered. Rune pouts but gets excited and whisper something to her. You see her face go red. "Stop it your so gross." Before you can think what they say Rene grabs your arm and away from Rune. Rune is laughing to the oiut she is on the ground. "Oh my your just so easy." she says in between breaths.
Rene Lets go when you both are out of eyesight. Bear was last reported in a tar factor says Rene. You see Mercs with rifles walking down the street shooting law enforcment and Apollo Knights. Your about to do something before Rene pulls you back slowly.
"Stay." She puts her hand to her back. She draws a blue bladed greatsword out of nothing. She than goes into a stance and you blink shes gone. The six squdredn of mercs are down. Rene appears on the otherside. She stands straight. She lets go of her sword covered in blood and it disappears.
You both get further down at the entrence of the warehouse. The door is sealed. Rene pushes it open withoit breaking a sweat. She waits for you to go first.
As you get into the warhouse you see that its a tar warhouse. Tar pits are everywhere. You hear screaming. You Start to get closer till Rene grabs you. You almost make a sound. She covers your mouth. "We need to get higher or we will be like them." She points at the mercs around the tar pits.
Rene does most of the helping as you get to the beams. You can see all the armed mercs walking around with 4 hostages tied in chair. You then see Bear. He is gigante. You wonder if Rene is bigger than Bear as she has to be way taller based on the profile. You cant hear what he says as he on the otherside of the warehouse.
He is currently talking to a busness man. He grabs the man and force the man to swollow the tar. His screams are muffle by it. You watch in disgudset. Rene hand bends the beam out of her own angery. She starts to scan the area as you did earlier.
You have it two ways. Take down the Mercs or rescue the hostages.

Rene is shoked if her eyes give her a way whie her body doesnt. Rune grabs her so fast. "I want the whip." she pleads with a pout. Rene doesnt move but just shakes her head.
"No." rene crosses her arms."But" Rune puts her hands on her crossed arms. "Nope." Rene grunts out. "please." rune says in a low child like voice. "No means no. You freak." Rune gasps "Im not a freak-." She place a hnd to her head. "Alright maybe I am but your the one with a gold- mhmhmhm" Rene covers Runs mouth. "Ill get the damn whip. You pervert." Rune cheers like a little girl jumping up and down.
Rene grabs you befrore her sister can divolge more of there secrets. You both walk in silince till you see a group of coyote followers. They charge and make animal nosies coming after you.
A tiger shifter jumps at you prematurally you grab them and throw them down. Their head its the concret hard and pass out. The bigger one that looks like a rino pushes you to the ground.
You land and roll backwards. before you can move you here a sharp whistle. The rino man turns to the sound but is hit by a fist. You see the man teeth fly out with blood. He goes into the nerby store. You watch as he goes to the ally behind the buliding.
You look at Rene whince and look at her hand covered in blood. She seems so intranced by the blood.

She walks away to the chanting. Similing ignring what you just said.
You both pass shops and see that people are not dead or on the ground. You find that suspsious. That is until you see all the civlions on there knees lined up by age and sepereted on what you can assume by value.
You than see the women in charge Coyote. Her skin is shown besides where sha has a wrap of fur on her chest and waist.
"Alright I want the tastey looking ones on the left and the undesirables there." They start herding them like cattle. She whistles and two people carry branding items. She starts whistling.

If you didnt know better Rune starts to boune in place "Me you chose me. Awsome." Rune hits Rene in the should and spirngs to your side. She grabs your hand and brings you along. She shouts "Im keeping the whip!!!" Rene shouts back "No Your not!" Her hand gets tighter. "So when I clean the whip do you want to use it or do you want me to use it." Your left speech less when a car explodes near ypu. Rune sighs "Ok will talk more later on this." Rune lets go. of your hand. You feel the warmth she had leave your body. Weird. Suddnly people with animal like features start to run up to you. Two come for you.

By the time you turn around Lena is already half way there. You manage to follow in after her. But shes not going up but down. A syou tread carefully down. When you reach the floor the door way collopses. "Fuck me." You stand in a dark room. You pull out a flashlight. You then notice blood. Someone was being dragged. You follow the trail You see Lena looking at a wall.
"Hey boss. Sorry Just saw something weird and decided to check it out. Turns out I was right." She turns to you and throws her thumb at the wall. "Bastards went through there. Dont know how to get through." You tke a look at the wall. Its anormal brick wall. But somthing catches your eyes the bricks are new that doest suprise you. Hmm but one on the very bootom looks older. You stand up and push it in with you foot.
The floor below you starts to move. You move away from it. Lena stands beside you. The floor opens revling more stairs into darkness.
You look at Lena. She grumbles. You pull out your comm. Yo have no singnial. Great. you think. "Well its just us lets go see whats down here."
Lena laughs "Hopfully its a scary dunganed."
10 minitues later in the "Scary" dunganed.
"Fuck what the Fuck." You and Lena are running from dozens of weird creatures mixed with Snakes and dogs.
"You just had to say something Lena." One of them jumps ahead of you lands in the eall. You both turn right.
"How the hell was I too know it was a fucking dungon." Lena hits the wall but pushes off in time to put a forcefeild and push them back. "Like none of the Active Villians do ths anymore."
You both look at each otherat that thought. You dont get to voice it when the floor below you opens and you fall. He closes as soon as you both go in. You both fall through the darkness. When you land its in water or what feels like water. You stand up and help Lena up. Then the smell of Iron hits you hard. You look at the water.
Lena grones "Fuck me. Its blood.Did i serisully land in a blood stream."
You try to get an idea of where you are. You have to be in one of the older sections of the city but arnt sure.
"Come on we only got one way." Lena folloes after you. "The tunnel network is ild. Really old."
Lena starts to look at it. "How Apollo Gate is like New right. The thrallens created a land mass." You nood to her words. Then you rember something. "Theres an old boogyman story of a Man who created mass illusions in his lair."
Lena looks at the walls. "Shit you man the Doungen Lord. Ithought he died in the invasion." You shurg "When I was younger Echoline told me that He fought him but didnt catch him." Lena sighs. "So what hope do we have." You look at the wall liaking blood. "Pretty shit luck Lena." Lena grumbls.
You both come to a room. Its a beutiful office. You look at the desk while Lena looks at the bookcase. You notice the Illusion "Wait LLena." A wall suddenly seperates you both.
"Shit." You then assulted with many visions you fall to the ground in pain.

"Shit, Shit shittti shit." Becca draws your attention. She grabs the radio. "You better be alive you spineless bitch."
The radio is staic. Becca presses the button. She rubs her head. "Ambassador are you there. Over." Becca takes her finger off. Silince. No one answer. Becca growls. "Melessia if your there I need to know where you at. The man who shot your guard is searching for you at his pearch. So please tell me where you are. Over." Silience. It last for a few seconds then it clicks on. "Im in a office bulding. I ran I dont Dont know where exactlly. Over." Her breathing is hard. You and Becca look at each other. "Melissa describe the funtiure. Over." it cliks on. "White and black with a tan." Becaa looks at you. And poits at an office buliding. Then gun fire goes off. Bang Bang Bang Bang. Melissa screams. "What floor are you on"Becca shouts. Melessa stutters. "The 12th floor."
Becca looks at you. "Go get her. Ill find him." You start to say somthing. "No, $alias. He is too dangurous. And if hes pissed hes more powerful." Becca runs into the oppisent direction. As you get into the buliding. You barly miss a gun shot. It zooms past you. You duck behind the main desk. You then run to the elevator. As you get in. You see more securty dead.
The door opens. You see a blood trail of a body being dragged. As you move to cove to cover three more shoots go off. You see four more men dead. Then you see the Ambassador. Melissa is in the main office on the floor. She sees you. That when you notice the blood. You run and applie pressure. She grunts in pain.
add if for gadget.
As you duck from a few more sniper shot. You comm beeps. You awnser it. "$alias im but to piss him off and well hel be heading your way." You breath under the desk. "What about you." she laughs a cold laugh. "Ill be on his ass."
The gunshots stop. You take a second. Than you hear Beccas voice shouting slurs and russian. You get up and see both crash into the floor above. Than they fall through the floor. You dodge some debre. White powder is in the air clouding your vision. You hear a paind groan. You wave your hand to clear the air. You see Becca down on the ground. She has an obgect through her leg.
You get to her. You examin it she is fine. She yanks it out befor you can assa the damage. She lets out a grut. "I can heal dont worry." her tone is a playful jab.
You roll your eyes.

You help Becca up. You see a huge pile of the floor on a man. He gruts with angery and lifts it off him. Throwing it out the window. Causing a huge crash and servel car alarms going off.
He looks at you.His wings werent real looks like some tech. He smirks looking at you. "Oh Ill get paid more killing you." he chuckles.
Before he can reach you Becca hits Griffen in the face with a metal rod. He stumbles back. He touchs=es his face. Blood runs down staing his already bloody outfit.
You look around for an advatage over his speed and strength.

When you follow after Lady Justice you notice Ice streaks ahead of you. She seemed to project herself to the end of the hallway after him.
You pass the gruds that are in the wall and in the floor. He crushed them into it. Some are in aganizing pain bit you cant help them. You try to not focus on them. You hear a radio on. Code Red there are multiple indivadules in the buliding. I repeat that the project hunter is out. it is out. its- aghaagha." The radio cuts off.
You pass a data room and see it desteoyed. Than you get to a lab area. You are seperated by 12 ich glass. You see goo every where mixed with blood. You pause and look at it. Its clear. Than it starts to form. A tall figure of goo stands. It tilts its head. it walks close to the glass. It examins you and start to form a face. It smiles at you. It waves and walks back to a tube in the side of the wall. You see that all the people dead in there are Mercs and People in spec ops gear. You see other tubs with other substances like goo or different.
You shake your head you need to focus on the situation. You run further down the hall. You than see a biometric door with a man physical impalied into it. The blood still looks fresh.
By the time you get to the Observation deck. You see Lady Justice is fighting a huge fucking demon. You look for a way down. You see a pathing to ambush the demon. As you you get closser you hear them talking.
"Your not leaving here alive Moros." She hits him with her short swords. Then uses her ice to hold her ground.
Moros grones when he speaks its a very deep voice. "Youll die with me V."
Lady Justice screams "Dont call me that!!" He catches the swords but she lets go and hits him.
Moros body is moved a couple of feet. "There she is. My-" Lady Justice Slugs his face. "You went after My FAMILY. MY FAMILY. You will die for that."
She grabs her swords on the ground. But then Moros hits her in her stomach. Than kicks her Lady Justice is Slung across the room.
When she sees you she frezzes. She then focues back on Moros. "Hey Moros I alwys knew your an ungly bastard. But why the hell you doing this."
His deep laugh viberats the room. "Lets just say I made a deal a long time ago. And I wanted to hurt Adrian but the basterds not here instaed I got to see some very illege projects. And ofcourse you this was worth it." Moros starts to charge towards Lady Justice. The collide into the wall. Lady Justice braces but still faluters wth Moros addided strength. She manages to kick him back. You wait for your moment. He then passes below you.

You jump and <<nobr>>
<<if $cruel == "40" >> You can't help but hide a grin. <</if>>
<<if $cruel == "60" >>
<</if>><</nobr>>Your already behind Jenny and Atlas. When you manage to get through the door. Atlas is thrown towards the window causing it to shatter. Atlas thankful does not fall through. Jenny however is standing in front of Toxicant. You get in a few feet behind her.
Jenny seems to be talking with famularity with Toxicant. As the creature isnt as hostile to her. Jenny has her hands out palms open.
"please you dont need to do this." This seems to calm her till she sees you. Toxicant hisses at you. jenny screams "NO!!" she takes the hit from her.
Toxicant is suprised and looks at her hand. But shakes it off and lunges at you. At the mear touch she burns your gurade. You dodge her swipes and try to find a soft spot. As she gets closser she is dripping acid all around her. Befroe she spits a ball at you. Atlas appears in front of you. Taking the hit. She doesnt flench. She slings a fist at her face. You watch as the armor on Atlas melts away. Than it recrystlyses to cover her skin.
She flexs her hands and watch as claws appear. "We need to get an opening." Jenny shouts across the room gets up drawing a sword. She nods. Jenny coats her blade in a nullifying ligued. "Sjes an Alpha." Your eyes widen. Atlas giggles. She whispers. "$alias you need to wait for an opening. And jab her with what Lady Justice gave you."
Jenny gets up to swing her sword. Toxicant sumans a thin line of acid and block it. Atlas shoots her hands out as she charges. Swirling shimmering energy shoots out. Hitting Toxicant she howls in pain. You see green blood pour out of her.
Toxicant Pushes her line to Jenny causeing jenny to go into a wall. Atlas was able to cushen the blow. As atlas gets closer she forms a dagger but Toxicant stops her and throws her out the window.
You watch helplessly as she fly out the window. But Atlas laughs she doesnt scream. Toxicant turns to you. You look for what you can use but dont see what can slow her down. Than you see the device. The device she came to get. You run up the platform as she chaces you. She throws spit after spit at you. You barly dodge all them. It eats off the stairs almost causing you to fall.
You jump through the labs window. You roll as you go through. Your feet crunch on the glass as you grab the device you examine it quiqly.
Its a prism device. It glows. You grab it and hold it up. Toxicant freezes. She has absoul fear in her eyes. "NOOO" Toxicant puts her hands up. She starts to say words but they dont come out as normorl. Her fear is caucing her words to combine and stutter out.
[[Break the prism.|Toxicanthurt]]

You start hitting the wall. No no no. Then a voice echos in the room. "Hello Miss.Throne." Ah shit one of those villians.
"You know you can go fuck yourself." you shout. The voice laugh heartly. "Oh, I knew I would like yu." You then hear a tsk nosie from him. You see the Room move. This isnt an Illusion it is mechanical but some of it is illusion. Just what the fuck. You mumble "I swear if I die." you start to run where he is leading you. Objects get thrown in your way you jump then roll. You use the acrobate skills $alias taught you. Then when you land your on stage. No. "Ah I see its still a sore spot. Youring going to have to face it sooner or later." You see three people in front of you. No please. You see their faces. Crusehed you put you hands up. Your forcefield shoots out crushing them and the audance. "You bastered Ill kill you. Ill kill you. Face Me. You Coward." The room blackens. Then its goes back to the sewers. A hand then touches you. You spin aboy to strike with your sword. When you see who it is its to late. They catch the blade. "$alias. Im so sorry. I thought. Thought." $alias reaachs for you. "Whats wrong. You were right their then you start to freak out." You know thats not right.
You shove them off. "Your not $alias." The figure shifts in a wolfishes smile. They start swinging at you. You block with the force fields. But you get stricked in your back." You stumble forward. Than the shadows start hitting you. You fall. You cant take it. "Your pathetic." "No wonder you were disinheredicted." "Your just the dirt below everyones shoe." "Your brother is always better than you." You feel your anger and resentment. You start to scream. "Get the fuck out of my head." you shoot out a forcefield crushing the shadows. You use an orb of light to get rid of the shadows. You are panting out of breath. The blood that was on you disappears. Fucking illusians. Your than hear footsteps from the dark cordor running towrds you. You see $alias. You lower your sword and smile.
"I told you Alena not to touch the shelf." $alias steps in front of you. Wait no one. Swoosh. You plunge your sword in their back. "No one calls me that dumbass." the body falls you pull your sword out with a satsifiyying sound of guts coming with it. You kick the body over and see its a littler walking thing of muscles and blood. Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! "Wow what a show what a show." Clap! Clap! Clap! he stops clapping. He then appears. You start to charge and he appears behind you. "Now now. You were in no real danger. You just needed to face your fears. But you still need to as you used angery to break out." You get a good look at him. He reminds you of an old sage in mediviel times. "Your are old." the words just come out of your mouth. The man for his credit just smiles. "That I am. To the dark ages to be exact. But Ive had my fun you may leave." Your face twitches. "Not with out $alias." You take a step forward. The man sighs "$They are indesposie at the moment." You pull out your other sword "What the fuck does that mean." Your forcefeild starts to outline your swords. The man puts his hand out "Wao Wao. $They are that way. No tricks." He points and the illusions fade. Then the mechanics start to reverts back its a warehouse. How- No thats not Important. You take off. You finilly see $alias on the ground. It looks they they are having a sesziure. When you kneel $their body stops. Then $they arch $their body and scream. Slashes start to appear ypu try to minnimize the bleeding but its not working. You pull your comm out. "Hello!!" static. "Hello!!!" slince. "Please I need help. $alias is hurt. Is any one there I need help." No one awnsers. Your alone with the one $gender that gave you a chance. You form many shilds to seal the body. Time passes. You cant hold much longer. Your eyes start to feel heavy. You fall to the side. When you open your eyes A woman is kneeling over $alias. you can barly make out the words. "I wont lose you . . . No this time Ill kill everyone just to have you." Your eyes close. You feel your body lifted up. "Mistress you shouldnt be here. If someone where--" They are cut off by the women. "Were to what no one knows who I am. An they be dead before they could kill me. Now get these two to the Silver Gurdians Tower." Your then put down. "Parden but I thought youd want them at the." You hear a grunt "Its to soon. And erase any chance of them rembering this." You hear a door close "Yes Mistress." You then pass out. Never to rember this again.
[[two hours later]]
When Rune and Rene see you look at Jade they start playing rock paper scisors. You hear Rune shout "I get the whip." Rene shouts at her "What the hell is you deal with whips." Rune laughs. "Swing by my room tonight and Ill show you."
Jade is standing still. Looking at an ally. "Do you feel it?" Jade looks at you.
You shake your head. "What is it." She rasies her hand. It starts to form a dark ball whith light in it. It exploudes. Sending out the ball into little energy. The world around you changes. "What did you do jade?" She steps in front f you. Her eyes focues on yours. "Somthing is watching you. I want to know what."
You look around. "But it looks like we are dead. So what did you do."
"One of my ablitys that I have is to travel between Life and death. And its one way I can stop Time and think. But it will stop whatever is watching you. Well until it notices its seeing a slower version of you."
You get what she is saying after all what Noah said makes sense. "Ok so whats next do you need to touch me or is it just a sense ablity next."
"I need to touch your heart so your chest." you nod. "Alright." Jade removes her half mask.
Jade place a hand over your heart. "I fear this will hurt you. I wont do it long." Jade faulters for a second.
You touch her hand. "If you can see who it is do it. Will I just feel pain or will i see something too."
Jade relaxes but spreades her hand on your chest. "In my experience you will see a vision. But I dont know what kind."
Jades reachs up to remove her mask. Her face is a beutiful porcelen color. Not a scratch on her face. But the closer you look at her face its as if is a porclen doll not real skin. She blinks owlishly.
Before you can think more Jades eyes shoot out beams of light. The beams of light zoom in and narrow in on you heart. Then you feel her eyes connect to your eyes.
Your legs feel weak. You fall onto your knees. Jade stands over you. You vision starts to see flashes. The flashes start to fill more of your vision. Before you can no longer see Jade you see black tears stream down her face.
Somewhere else.
Someone else.
No still the same person no being.
Your surrounded by dead men and women. Swords and spears are in the bodies. Body parts removed. You step foward. You hear a wet thick sound like mud. You look down and see intestanes.
You focues on your body its couted in blood. But its odd. Some of the blood looks gold. Than black. theres not a single drop of red blood.
You feel a pair of hands grab you back.
"Star are you ok. Star." it a mix of two femane voices. One is harder rougher the other is sweeter like candy.
You turn to see two woman looking at you in concern. They match in every way. But they ar wrong. The scar on their neck is wrong the scar on their jaws mirrow one another. One eye is brighter will the other is dimmer.
You look at their body its disgusting. Their body is the oppisent of one another. One leg is chilenten in armor and one arm is a clawed arm. Made for war. But yet you want to touch to care for them. Your heart races. You get mental images of whats underneath. You are the only one allowed to see underneath.
"Star you did good." you know her. why do you know her. "Star you are allowed to speak. Here let me remove your mask." One of them the sweet voice one goes behind you. You feel latch after latch come undone. Then the one infront of you reaches for your face and slowly pulls the mouth gruad off.
When the mask comes undone you know who she is. But befroe you can say the name the vision fades. They stand before you.
"No! No! No!" the rougher voice shouts she hits the wall till she disappears.
The other starts to take a step but stops when she touches a barrier around you. "You promised. You said you accepted me." her voice comes out weak.
You are no longer in the barrier but watching a woman in the barrier. Shes you. Her body is scarred in everyway imaginedable. Shes not human shes something else.
Shes anrgry looking at her. "I will never lov-. Not after what you did to me. You cursed me to death. I was alone and when I created a hoome. YOU TOOK IT AWAY!"
"No i didnt I swear I changed that was-" she trys to plead but is interupted.
"You lie. Time and time again. You fucked with my mind. Im not your STAR. STOP USING THAT FUCKING WORD." the angre and the hate seething through the words causes her to fall on her knees.
The women cries she starts to mumble somethin. After a small perid of time she stands up. You see her face countort to calm. The previouse emotion is gone.
The other half shows up. They speak in unisio. "You will always be MY STAR. I will be here waiting for you till you relizes that.. And the day you find out that I never ki-." She mumbles something else but teleports away. But the other women. No you in the barrier knows what she said. But you cant remember that.
Your head hurts you fall on the ground again. You whole neves system is burning. You surrroundes return you back to Jade. She is craddleing you in her arms. Shes clutching to you. Shes mumbles something in a launge you never heard of.It almsot sounds like a pray. She starts to hum a lullabe then right before you lose conscue=ses again you see jade face has a crack going down her mask no its her face.
When you come to again you body is marred. You have deep claw marks in you stomach and chest. Jade has a hand on you. You feel energy coming from her.
Jade sees your awake. "Dont move." its not a request. "Before you ask I dont know what the hell I saw or what it was. But it has extreame hate and longing for you. I was able to block it for a time but Im not sure for how long."
You notice your floating. "Jade" you croake out. She sees your eyes. "Shush were about to be back at the tower and will get you fixed. I wont let you die."
[[two hours later]] <<if $RuneBroute >>
Your paceing back and forth you just want them to be ok. You didnt think the guy could absorb you power. He just shurgged it off. Then $alias jumped infront of the blow. You want to scream. You can die. You know your limits. Hell thats why Jade chose you to be her bodyguard. Its not like the Queen would want the best for her. But still when you look at $alias your heart jumps. Why now. After all your connected to someone elese. You groan. You step closer. They are just sp perfect. Sure flirting is fun. One night stands are fine. But why do you feel gulit. You are the one person free of it.
You want them and its strange. You cant settle on the feelings now. You pull out a trinket. And place it by the bed. You start to wlk out. But stop at the door. You wont let $alias get hurt again. You pull your hair back and Tie it up. You exit to the hallway. You start to look around. For a distraction. You see a cute hero as you start to walk your then hauled into a room.
"Hey-" You come face to face with shit. "Edmund." you put on your smirk. He throws you towards the wall. "To think you speak to me impropper." he all but hisses at you. You put a hand on your head. "Awe is the dumbass hurt." He throws a knife at you. You catch it and throw it back at him. It goes into his leg. He grunts. You then grab his throat. "You should remember your place Edmund. After all Im the one with power. Mother chose me. Not the one who would slaughter innoncents. And when I come back you will be punished by the old ways." You throw him through the portal behind him. But before you let go you take the knife out then shove it into his chest. His eyes widen. "Itll be worst when I come back." You then close the portal. You then look at your cloths and smile. As you walk outside the cute hero is gone. You cat help but have a pout.
"I know that look. You didnt get your catch." ah Akira. "Well I dont know boss. I still got one." You turn to see shes remoed her hood. So her hair is out. You pull on her hair gently. Its always so sliky. "You mean $alias." she teases you. You feel your face heats up. "So you dont think I could get them." Akira shakes her head. "No. I dont want you to get hurt." You open your mouth. "No. Hana imserious. This isnt just a game now. Not with $them." You study her face. "What arnt you telling me Akira." Akira looka at the room. "I dont know yet but I will as soon as Im able." You groan. "One of those things." you pout. "Yes. Hana one of those." You lean against the wall. Akiras hand touchs you face. "Just wait and see if $they share intrest." You sigh. "Ill keep in my pants."
You can't help but hide a grin.
<<elseif $ReneBroute >>
You havent left the room since they brought mc in. You should have been hit not them. You are the one bulit for heavy combat. You look at $alias. You cant hellp but feel a twist in your gut. Ha if only your fathers saw you now. You mobe towards $alias. You touch $their hand. The swelling has gone down. They took a beating. You dont know what the man was saying about smelling $darkness. From what you can see or feel is that $alias is strangly pure. The only person who is like this is Akari. When she meantioned $alias you thought it odd. Akari never takes intrest in humans. Not after Aspen. You need to get some air. You grab your gift you got them. You see everyone broght $them a gift. Why does a part of you hope yours is the more important. To see $their smile. You grone.
You walk out. You go outside. You dont get far before you sense her. She always makes a point to check on you. "Heya Bg Sis." You roll your eyes. When you turn around you see Hana and her mint green hair. "Your not wearing your mask." you state. Hana tilts her head and blinks her eyes owlishly. "Well I dont know about you biut one its hard to get laid in that armor. No matter how hot I look in it." You scoff. "But I had to much blood on it. So Akira said I could shower and take a few hours for myself." You turn and start to walk. You feel a gental hand on you. "Its ok to care Yuna." You grunt. "I was made not to care Hanna. Let me go." Hanna lets you go. "Just dont go and kill a lot of people yeah." You smile at that. "No promises." As you get futher you hear a whisle. "Also Im going to flirt with $alias when $they wake up. So hope I dont give em a heartattack." Hanna laughs as she walks inside.
Your not sure where you are but you know its far from the tower as its smaller now. You look at the moon. Its a full moon tonight. Your Godess should be speaking to everyone. But shes been slighnt foe so long. You still remeber when Akira punched her. You were all angrey lied to your not sure but you sure she didnt know what happen and when she lied to Akira it was the final push. You sure many would call your order Godless. Youve lost a lot of Allies but its not like your not use to it. After all growing as a bastard child you were doom to die. You shake out your thoughts. Those times are over and you can finially follow someone worth your sword.
You then get a message or that what it sounds like. You pull your phone out. As you touch it everything goes haywire. You hate phones. Hmm Hana said to press this and this. Oh it worked. You then see the message. its from Akira. "If your not In the tower than I assume you need some air but I know you. You should feel a pluse of energy now. You will find a fight at the end of it jst show your sword." You then feel the pulse. Its the feeling you get in battle. Another message pops up. "By the time you are done come back. We will be having a debrief. Some Wonderful Agents will be showing up. To talk about the Villians we stopped."
Your suprised that Agents are here at all. They just get in the way. They say its to Protect the people from Villians. But they can be worse than the Villans they Capture. You decide to follow the feeling. You come upon a Catherdial. You want to laugh. You look at your full armor. You still have blood on it. No its pouring. You look up and see blood is pouring from the sky. You put a hand out and then put it to your face. The world changes around you. Your nolonger in the city. No your home the plane you came from. You see the mountains the plains and then the crumbling castle gate. Blood is everywhere. You see a river where you died. The Priest lied saying you would survive that you would surive any wounds. No you became an abomanation. You were killed by the person you trusted. You tense when you see souldiers rise all around you. You reach for you sword but its gone. You see you self. In the water. The beast you keep inside. You hope you can come out off this.
An unkown amount of time later. You see countless bodies dead. You then look at your hands. They are back to normal. A small child appears. No NO it cant be. You run after the child. The landscape shifts to a burning village. Your running till you get to the center. You hear all the screams again. YUNA!! YUNA!! YUNA!! Then you see them all again hanging gutted. You see her again. You pull her off the tree. You were to slow. To slow. Armered boots are behind you. "I told you. Your mine. Your my wepon. I made you from one purpose." The armored boots walk away. The Dark Watch King.
You then ae pulled away. You then blick and see your back at the Catherdial. Your armor is cleaned. Youve been in that sleep for 15 min. You better head back. Atleast to check on $alias. You know you want be in the debriefing but outside.
<<elseif $JadeGroute >>
Your blade is in your hand spinning. Its floting two inchs above your hand.It is unusual to feel this way. How many centries has it been 6 or is it 9. You know $name is something. Why cant you put your finger on it. You step careful towards them. You dont want to leave but you ve more questions now. That preacence you felt it before. You touch $their hand. You pull away as soon as you toch it as it burned you. You walk out and pass Shade. She seems to be focus on something.
You know better than to speak to her. You head to a medatation chamber. You type in the passcode and do the hand scak. You walk in and see a few heros in the seperate rooms. You dont pay attetion to them as you head to your own.
You are suprised that it is untouched. You dont even notice your lips turn slightly upwards. You seal the door to the hallway. You begain to strip off your armor and place your swords down on the small alter in front of you. You kneel in front of it on the mat. You close your eyes and focus on the balance. The balance of life and death. You than breath and focuse on time. Time at its perfect momant. You let out the breath and than open your eyes. You stand and see all the creatures around you.
You havent been in the 'Gilded City' in a very long time. You look at the crumbling coty and sigh. You head to the temple where he should be. After a lengthy walk you start walking up the steps.
You remember the screams the bodies that you saw that day. You shake off the thought. You enter the temple and see a memory when kids would run in the halls and hearing the laughter that day. You regret that day. You close your eyes to focus.
"Ah I see the Broken one returns." You turn to the voice. The world around you shifts andyou are no longer in a dream state no you are now in Tokyo. You look at the man who rasied you. You both bow but you know better. You kneel. "I aplogize Chichi. I didnt-" You feel a soft hand on your shoulder. You look up and see his smile. "I remember telling you that when we are alone you dont have to kneel or bow. After all you are my Musume."
You smile at him. Kaito Daiki of the Kaito family. Your farther and the one who trined you to be the woman you are today. You have a few siblings and a Mother but they dont look at you the way he does. No to them you were the lamb to be slaughtered. After your powers actvated you were simpley no longer you and it didnt help that your only brother did the underhanded tactict and got you kicked out of your family. You lost everything in one night.
Your face must convey what your think because your father is on his knees and thumps your head. "None of that ya." You squint at him. "That didnt hurt Chichi." He laughs and it makes you laugh as well. "I didnt want to. Now will you tell me why you are here and as a spirte. I swear if you gone and got your self killed so help me." You touch his tighten hands. "No no. Nothing like that. I was just medatating and I was in the." You pause and look away. "You went to that niht." You nodded. "I wasnt even focusing on that Iwas just there." He hums. "Did you experence anything today." You reber that feeling. "Yes a $gender. I met recentlly had this aura around $them and I focused on it. One thing led to another and they were hurt and I felt what I did that night."
Before you say anything else Your farther moves you hair out of your face. He sees the creacks in your face and frowns. "Your hurt Musume." You pull away. "It will heal." you say calmly and move to stand. Your in his medatation room. It outside far enough away from the main house. You see the sliding doors are slightly open and see the training grounds. You remember fighting tooth and nail for approval you already had. Bt how could a stupid child know when everyone says demon or monster behind your back. And being treated like a second class citazen or bastered when you were the first born.
You still remember his face when he saw you in the training yard being beaten by the traines and your brother was just smileing. He backslapped him and ordered his men to take them to the dugens. But he saw you and he was angrey. So much rage but none of it was directed at you. No the man just got back from war and sees his first born bring treated like a slave.
You never did get your mothers love no even now you know she would never love you and you are weirdly ok with that. your sister was influnced by her just like your brother to hate you and were told how you are just a theif a bastered.
"Musume you can see the traing yard if you like. No one will see you in this state unless they were trained to see." He spakes so kindly and you can hear the hope he has in his voice. "No." you state with your back still turned. "Its time I returened back to Apollo Gate." You turn to him and smile saddly. "I have my own responsiblitys know." he nods in understanding. "Yes. I heard of a Lady Jade. Shes quite impressive leading the Anciants." He looks at you with pride. "She is amazing and I get to call her my Musume." He tries to hold a serius face but ends up laughing. You do as well. "Goddbye Chichi." he nods and approches. "You will always be welcome here. And dont hesatate to come back if you need help."
You nod and close your eyes and you know your back in your body. You get dressed and grab your mask and cover your face. You hesatate to touch your swords. The blood on them runs deep. No. You snatch them and leave. You are not that girl anymore. When you step out your gaze is cold. Anyone in your eye sight looks awawy. You head off to the meeting.

Your paceing back and forth you just want them to be ok. You feel somethin a connection. Like you do with Jade and Rene. This is un expected. You didnt think the bitch could move like that. She was broken. Then $alias jumped infront of the blow. You want to scream. You can die. You know your limits. Hell thats why Jade chose you to be her bodyguard. Its not like the Queen would want the best for her. But still when you look at $alias your heart jumps. Why now. After all your connected to someone elese. You groan. You step closer. They are just sp perfect. Sure flirting is fun. One night stands are fine. But why do you feel gulit. You are the one person free of it.
You want them and its strange. You cant settle on the feelings now. You pull out a trinket. And place it by the bed. You start to wlk out. But stop at the door. You wont let $alias get hurt again. You pull your hair back and Tie it up. You exit to the hallway. You start to look around. For a distraction. You see a cute hero as you start to walk your then hauled into a room.
"Hey-" You come face to face with shit. "Edmund." you put on your smirk. He throws you towards the wall. "To think you speak to me impropper." he all but hisses at you. You put a hand on your head. "Awe is the dumbass hurt." He throws a knife at you. You catch it and throw it back at him. It goes into his leg. He grunts. You then grab his throat. "You should remember your place Edmund. After all Im the one with power. Mother chose me. Not the one who would slaughter innoncents. And when I come back you will be punished by the old ways." You throw him through the portal behind him. But before you let go you take the knife out then shove it into his chest. His eyes widen. "Itll be worst when I come back." You then close the portal. You then look at your cloths and smile. As you walk outside the cute hero is gone. You cat help but have a pout.
"I know that look. You didnt get your catch." ah Akira. "Well I dont know boss. I still got one." You turn to see shes remoed her hood. So her hair is out. You pull on her hair gently. Its always so sliky. "You mean $alias." she teases you. You feel your face heats up. "So you dont think I could get them." Akira shakes her head. "No. I dont want you to get hurt." You open your mouth. "No. Hana imserious. This isnt just a game now. Not with $them." You study her face. "What arnt you telling me Akira." Akira looka at the room. "I dont know yet but I will as soon as Im able." You groan. "One of those things." you pout. "Yes. Hana one of those." You lean against the wall. Akiras hand touchs you face. "Just wait and see if $they share intrest." You sigh. "Ill keep in my pants."
You can't help but hide a grin.
<<elseif $Morosroute >>
After Atlas left you did something you havent done in a while. You prayed. You prayed for $name protection. Now you stare at there sleeping body. Moros used your powers against you. God you almost killed $name. You didnt thik it was that bad but losing her is affecting you worse. You could ask jade or Noah, Maybe Shade could help. Youll juust be a burden. Fucking Adrian caused this. And now now you hurt someone you feel responsible for. A kid. A fucking kid. You see $name face. You move beside them. Youll make it right. You hope $name doesnt hate you. You almost smile. You were soupose to train them before the incident. If that bstard didnt slaught those people you could have stoped $them. Whould they still be the same person or would they be different. You touch there arm but feel how cold you are. You pull away. "Im sorry." you mumble it low. $name should be up in a while and you can start the debreif. After all Agent White and Black will be here. You dont like them but you will admit they do good work. Considering they are agents.
You place a charm beside the bed. $name should like it. As you wak out you see $name three students. To think the three who were going to be blacklisted and kicked out became the best anyone seen in years. And thats thanks to $name. Jenny sees you. "Is $alias awake yet." You shake your head "Not yet but the doctor said soon." They all walk in. You then hear them get happy and start talking to the $name. You walk away feeling like you always do alone. Alone in the snow. Just like when you were younger.
You need to work out the stress. You head to the training room. As you enter you see Shade. You walk over to her. Shade looks up and smiles but its more of being poit. You never said sorry for what you said. And you doubt shell accept it now. Shade speaks before you do. "So $name alive and we pretend to not know." You look away. "V seriously." You shurg. "I wasnt going to not talk to them. And act like I didnt know. Plus Im terrible at keeping secrets." Thats a lie you have two that can kill you or ruin your life. Shade laughs. "It is somthing . So Atlas is like me." You look away. "Yes. I didnt know till a while ago." Shade stands. "It funny. You never gave me a chance bck then. I wanted to help. Instead I was railroaded." You step towards her. "Shade." She puts her hands up. "I forgave you a long time ago V. But we will never be friends. I came to help the kid. After all I made a promise. I keep mine. iI dont walk away from my responiblitey when it matters most." Shade leaves before it gets ugly. You syand there frozen. When you hear the door shut. You fall to the ground. Everyone belives you walked away. But you didnt no you cant rember but you fought. You did fight right. Why cant you rember. You breathing gets so heavy. You dont even notice the floor is turning to ice till you see the wall is covered in 3 inch ice then its on your body. You could let it consume you. Just give up. Die like you are. Like the peice of shit everyone sees you as.
Then you see her. //"Mommy Mommy Mommy."// You precioude daughter Nicole huging you. But then it shifts from happiness to worry. //"Mommy whats wrong. Mommy your hurt."// Then you see her teriffied of you. //"Mommy stop. Mommy your hurting me. Mommy Ill do better Ill be better. Just give me a chance. I thought you loved me. Why does everyone get your smile and I get your anger."// You fall forward. Its not real. It never happened. Your just mixing uo yor own truma with your self hate. You summon an Ice shard and stab your self. The illusions go away.
You stand and decide to fight the traing bots. "Ai lock training room. Proticale Alpha 56 Delta." The room begains to shift and the doors lock. "Protical active. Would you like a timer set. And your useual music." You smile. "Yes thank you Ai." You dont know how long you stay in there but you fight and fight till you hands are bleeding. The timer goes off and the room shifts back and the destrucion is cleaned up. You sit donw on the bench. You look at your hands. And notice the ice is forming the layer again. You sigh. Yoou want to feel again withoyt doing this. You need to fix this before more harm is done. You close your eyes till the intercom comes on. "Lady Justice the meeting is ready." It clicks off. You look down at your cloths. Well hope they dont care about your outfite.
You walk in the confrence room and see some people. then You see $name sitting at the table. You smile at them before walking towards Agent Black and White. Lets hope this will go well.
<<elseif $Toxicantroute >>
Your breathing hard. Youll save them. The or is prepped but you can only do so much. You tell them where the poisen is and hope the lab can create something fast.
After the surgery you are sitting in the chair beside $them. You dont leavr till Vanessa comes in and tell you to get some rest. You try to say no but she does that thing where shes pulling the mom card.
You leave the tower relunctly and head to where your team sharded apartment is. Your defelently going to get an earfull. When you get to the door you open it very slowly. You get halfway through the living room before you are caught. You turn to a light being turned on.
"Where have you been." shit out of everyone it had to be him. You turned and smile. "hey Roy." His arms are crossed. "Dont hay Roy. You have any Idea how worriered we all were and you didnt bother to tell us." You look away. "sorry." he shakes his head. "Its not me you have to deal with. After all." You scowl at him. He walks to his room.
Jackass. You look at your state of dress. Your still wearing your broken armor and knowing her she fell asleep in your room. You get to your door and open it slowly. There she is asleep on your bed. You hold in a laugh. You go to your bathroom and start to strip your armor off. That fall from the window was fun but it sure as hell hurt.
You remove your face shild and toss it on the sink. Thats when you see the state of your face.You see the bruse ans the blood on your face. You lift your hand up and heal yourself. It burns but it doesnt help. You look at your face when the glow goes away.
You grab a change of clothes and walk back in. You see Jin sitting up staring at her phone and her hair is messy. "Hey Jin." she looks at you after she sets her phone down. She groumbles. Knowing her shes been asleep for a few hours waiting for you. "I tried to call you. And you didnt pickup." You smile. Sorry It was turned off from my classes earlier and I forgot." You sit beside her on your bed. As you do she touches your arm. "You did an injection?" you nod. Her face darkens. "Your not souppse to do it alone Atlas." You look away. "I had an episode what was i going to do pass out and than have everyone findout." She sighs. Smack! "Aw." you touch the back of your head. "You idiot. Dont do it again." She pulls the blankets and rolls over. "Natasha called said to call her when you got back." You groan wanting to just get sleep. "Ill be back and if you hog the covers Ill lay ontop of you." Jin grumbles and dozes off.
You leave your room and see Ryan in the com room. He looks up and smiles. "You doing ok boss." You throw a look and he smiles. "Yeah i know." he grabs his tablet and stands from his chair. "Im going to bed try not to stay up to late boss." You just wave at him.
You start to click the big computer and dail in Natasha infromation. The call rings for a bit till a dark haired women with gold eyes stares at you. And her face is pissed off. "I know your mad but.-"
"Atlas mad doesnt compare what I am. You might be the leader of this team but remember the one rule." She crosses her arms.
"Alwasy check in when near an explosion and especially check in when you respond to an attack or any power attacks." You breath it out. She nods "I see you still have your head." She relaxes her body and her face. "Look Im not mad you went and helped. But the radio slinece was hard because we all thought the worse." You look away. "Sorry Natasha." You both sit in a comfrtable slinces "When are you coming back." You ask tentivly.
Natasha smiles. "What tired of being in charge." You shurg. "Its great and all but I still miss my friend." She smiles. "I dont know yet. Athena is runing in issuses with The Circle." She must see your pout. "Ill be back before you know it. Besides hows Jin."
You roll your eyes. "Asleep in my bed." Natasha smiles. "Well you did take over the role as her sisiter." you nod. "I dont regret it." You both end up talking about Jin and a few other things. Natasha looks at the time. "Hey sorry I got to go. I have a meeting with a concial member." She smiles you wave goodbye. The thisng turns off.
The whole room is dark. You take a breath. Before heading to bed. You climb in bed and Jin clings to you. You smile at her small frame. You remember finding the 13 year old girl three years ago. You made a promise to protect her. Than again how much have you changed by doing what you did. And what you will do.
<<elseif $GTBroute >>
The troop carrier got there in time. But $alias should not be alive. No they should be dead. That blast was like a shotgun round at point blank range. Yor armor is shit from that psycho. You looked down at your broken mask. You sigh as you throw it on your desk.
You get a shower and get fresh cloths on. After that you manage to slip in the room with out anyone noticing. You look at $them. $alias is sleeping soundly. You notice they are blinking rapidly and you get closer. You remove your glove on your right and touch $their hand. You hope to ease $their dreams. You pull away and relize you just did that. Why would you do that. You havnt done that since you close yoir eyes. You need to leave.
You open the door and leave. You get a few feet out before running into someone. You reqnize the perfume. You scowl. "Mother." She frowns at your tone. "I was looking-" You move past her. "I dont care. Im leaving." She grabs your arm and stops you. "I heard what happen are you ok." You shake your head. "Go check up on your little obseission. $they were hurt." You snatch your arm away and storm off. You dont see your mother hurt face or notice how her eyes linger on you.
You walk outside and pull out a cigrette. As you light it you take a long drag before blowing it out. Unlike others you dont suffer the consequences from the tobacco. Than again it doenst have nigaten anymore. Not after Sundust and Blue Jay manage to get rid of it and convineced or forced the Coprarations to make a healthy version for it. It can still kill you but its not as bad as the old kind.
You lean against the bulding and sigh. You Phone starts to ring. You see the name. Ricky. You awnser it. "Did you find them." Ricky takes a breath and you throw the cigerate. "No boss. They were gone. Aparenly they have been moving around and changing their names. But I belive Im getting close. Ill send my update in two weeks like usually." You nod. "Thanks for the update. And Rick." You hear him move around in the background. "Yeah boss." You look at the car driving up. "Be safe." He lets out a chuckle. "Always." He hangs up.
Your hand tightens on the phone. Dammient. You cross your arms when you see the man get out of the car. You cut him off. "The hell you think your going." You block his way. the man looks at you. "Becca. Im going to see my son." You dont move. "No your not Adrian." He scowls at you when you say his name. "I rember that you are banned from entering any and all Silver Gurdians faclitys." He stands at his full height. He only about 5 inches taller than you but that doesnt bother you. "I will break your bones Adrian if you try." He snears. "You can try but My powers are-" You get in his face "What better. The hell they are. I have more and I would glady enjoy taking you down a peg. Espically after what you did to Mother." He growls and turns away. He always runs away when you mention her. You my not like your mother but him Adrian you dispise. He gets in his car and drives off.
You check the time. You need to be at the meeting in 45 mins. You walk through the empty lobby. You get in the elevator and lean on the wall. When it opens you straighten your posture and head to your room. As you walk in you see a man in a black army uniform. You scowl at him. "Coropal Ripley." you spit out. The man turns to you. He smiles at you "Bex." You hate that name. "What are you doing here Coropal Ripley." He frowns. He walks towards you. "I have every right to see my Wife." You snarl. You dont hesatate. Your fist flies in the air to his face. Coropal Ripley falls back. His hat falls off and he grabs his jaw. "We are not married anymore and I sure as hell wont take your shit anymore." He gets his hat and stands. He moves fast and ins you to the wall. "You belong to me no matter what you do or who ever you sleep with Bex." He lets go and straighns himself. "I will call you in a few days and you best pik up. Wouldnt want anything to happen to them would you." You breath gets stuck in your throat. He walks out. You hear your door close. You slide down the wall. Damn him. damn him for everything.
You close your eyes. You start furseually wipping your eyes. You wont cry no. No you wont cry. he wants to do this he always wants to do this. You dont know how long you sit there for but your alarm goes off you need to be there in about 10 mins.
You drag yourself up and clean your face. You grab your broken mask and walk out your door. You see the agents and Lady Jade warriors line up. You get to the meeting room and see Coropal Ripley talking to a few people. You avoid him and sit where Lisa is. Lisa is back to her wolf form. She is snarling at Coropal Ripley. As you st down you hear her mumble. "Hes got some nerve." You sit with perfect posture. "Leave it Lisa." Lisa doesnt. "Why he hurt you and I can get rid of him like that."
You reach over and touch her arm. "I will deal with him, ok." Lisa sighs degectly "Alright, but I swear if he-" You cut her off. "I know." Lisa shakes her head. "No you dont. Ill kill him this time. I will kill him." You know she telling the truth. You sigh but its not that simple or you would have already done it. The door opens and more people walk in. You get comfortable for it to be a long tense meeting.

<<if $defect is "Deafness" >>
You wake up hearing everything. You try to stand as you move you fall. You cover your ears as if your hear a sonic scream. Blood starts to pour out of your ears. You pass out from the pain. When you finally come to you see a stone table. you drag yourself towards the table. The pain is faded but still there. You take note that your balanec is a little off. When you manage to grab the table and steady yourself you see its like a fountine. The blood that drained from your ears go intoo the fountain. You watch it transfixed as it fills up. It starts to buuble and gurgle. It shoots into the air. You shelid your eyes. You dont feel a drop. As you lower your hand you see a long hallway filled with pictures. Some you reconize others dont seem real. You notice a few with you and Lisa. Then you see one where a women looks like you but her eyes are covered. Shes being lifted in the air by two people. Then another where the person is simular to you in every way. They are standing beside an Android. The android looks at the person with love. There are dozens more but you catch a glimps of a light from the door at the end of the hallway. As you walk on the tile floor you feel peace. Theres another emotion as well but its hard to disgustish. When you open the doors you see mirros. The hallway behind you collopses and your left with the three mirrors and darkness.
<<elseif $defect is "Loss of touch" >>
You wake up feeling pain. But that cant be right. You look around where are you. The ground is black. You get up and see glass everywhere. But its solid. You see a glowing light you wlk towads it. As you get closer you see a small hallway. As you enter it you see the walls a covered in severl pictures of you and your frinds. Then some you dont reqnize. You see a mirror downv the hallway. As you touch it you fall through. You feel all the pain yove wverfelt. Theen all the blows you didnt feel. When you land you have stab wound and lashes. You manage to pull yourself up. You look around and see your reflections. You see youself in threes.
<</if>>
You study the three reflections or try to. They blur to gether but then settle after a sec. They all look exactlly the same. Except for one thing. Two have swords init whil the center does not. You take your hand and touch the mirror. Your hand goes through. It feels like metal when its boiling but its not hot. You push your whole body in. As you come out your are in an alter. At the very center stands two blind madians. They both revil a sword and place it on the ground. They turn to stone shortly after. You then see the overall visage of the alter has two people fighting while one remains in the center. Trying desperatly to stop it.
You walk up the crimson stairs and see the two swords in their glory. Before you get to close it fads away. A women appears no the wome who you always dream about. Shes here you try to move but your body wont let you. You then see her face or the bottom half. Her lips are in a frow. "Its not time yet. Im sorry. You will forget until it is time." Your notice the ground shake you fall. The women catches you. "Rest child we will meet in time and I will expline then." She kisses your forhead.
[[Waking Up.]]<h1>Pov- Kat The Merc in over her head. </h1>\
<h4>April 25, 2018</h4>\
As you pull up to the Werehouse in the sbdoned part of town. You just need to do this job and your done. The pay was to good to pass up.
You step out and see three groups in front of you. The Notorious gang The Mare Cutters. They are not the most orgnized. As they are groups and sub groups of one another. So its hard to keep track but If the real leader ever walks in they listn. But they are a good fodder as they are nurmiours members.
The next is some spec ops group. Your contact had nothing besides they are a privte orginization. Simuliar to the Spector agency. But they are more brutal and take more contracts that help villians then protect people.
Then theres your group. Freelance Mercs. Your sure your just another warm body but it doesnt matter. The job said to come and you will get placed with a fireteam leader. You just need the money. If anything for her youll do it.
As you get closer another freelancer walks up toyou. "I see its not your first time. And your gear is in order. Kate, correct. Mars." They most have bioscaned you when you got in range. "Yeah. So your the boss." The man laughs "Sure. Yours but not the boss, boss." He waves you to follow him. "Come on. Ill show you inside. These guys are waiting for their assigned people." You pace to catch up. "Wait Im you last. I thought the time said." He rasies a hand. "No your my only person." That suprises you. "Im sorry." The man seems to be amused as he steps over a fallen metal beam. "Your an explosive expert. They need you and me to place it. Ill be your escort and your backup. We have it easiy. After its placed we leave." You shake your head. "No way. They could kill us if they have a secondary trigger." He nods. "Thats why you need to figure out a way to activate it when we are far away." He says in a hush tone. "Im retaring after this and I assume you got a reson to even do this as well." You just nod as you wont breath about her.
The door is opened by two soldiers in the all black unifromes the Spec ops.
Thats when you see the villions you only heard about. You see six villians discausing in the center of the room. Almost everyone is stay atlest a 50 feet from them. You wonder why till you see a courpse of a freelancer on the ground. Sure youve herd about Villion and watched videos about them but actually see them is different.
You look at Mars. He must see your curisity. "Not hear. Come this way." You both push through some mean and some groups. You enter a back room. It has a table and the tools you need to make the bomb. You move over to check it. Its every thing you requested.
Mars sits on a stool. You lean aginst the table. "So who exacty are we working with?" He grumbles. "Lets sat Kat. Ive worked with some fucking crazy fuckers before but never for a group of them." You tilt your head. "You saying all them are crazy." Mars laughs. "Well maybe two arent that bad but the rest are bad shit fucking psychicopaths."
"The big bear looking man is Bear. Youve proble heard how he killed and slaughtered criminals. Honsetly Dont git me started on why he is here or even working with our lot. But dont trust him. He proble try killing you later. Also hes a walking tank so dont try to shoot him. Just fucking run."
"Then Coyote. Shes insane. Id stay as far as possible. The stories of her eating people completle true. And her pets two Coyotes. Then her fantic followers. Just dont draw theri attention. You might become apart of their group or dinner. But if she wants you as her mate as Ive heard she looking for one good luck. But you should be fine as we wont be ner her lot thankfully."
"Pale Griffin youve deflenty heard of him. Hacker merc hitman. Hes done it all. My guess they paid him a good amount of money. Hes apparlet got a target so hell be by himself."
"Golden Tiger." You knew that was him. He should be dead. You shake your head to focuse on "He has his on ercs here. So no one will be with him. Hes here probly for suppoert but Im not sure."
"Then we got the bosses Moros and Toxicant. Dont even ask they are demons from another plane."
"Why would they be here." Mars shurgs. "My guess to get at Winter BioTechnoCorp." Your eyes widen. "Your saying were blowing up Adrian Winters aka Mindterror. What the hell." Mars looks at a photo in his hands. "Yeah. Trust me I figured it was some random corp. But him. Yeah I agree. I feel we are in over our heads. But we are in luk. He is out of town."
You nod "He would be a problem. So Ill work on the bomb. Just keep anybody out." Mars nods.
You sit at the bench and start working on it.
6 hours later.
After groublin and lots of frustraction you got the bomb bulit. And the trigger is linked to you so you can get out of there.
You look at the time.
//09:39//
You sigh. You cant call her now. You decide to recorded a messeage.
//"Hey Bunny." You sigh. "Sorry, its habbit. Look I made you a promise and after this you will get better. As of right now you should know the surgery got spprove. And I guess you proble are cursing me. Im sorry. I just coundnt stand by and watch you die. Not after everything We went through to be together. But i want to say this I love you Amber. And I feel like I might not see you again. Im terrifided. But it doesnt mean I wont try to come back to you. Just know I dont regret this. And I hope you will forgive me."//
You close it and send it. Itll be delivered tomorror after the job starts. You open the door to the werehouse. Its emptey.
You see the Villians lounging about and then see most of everyone is outside. You see Mars walking towars you.
"Catch." He throws a drink at you. You look at it and set it down. "Ah not much a drinker."
You Lean against the wall. "No. I dont need liquids or food." Mars eyes widen. "Alright thats weridly cool and a little messed up." You chuckle. "I guess. Its done." Mars face light up. "Cool Ill get the vechical ready. So we can leave before anyone talks to us."
Mars walks to the loading docki with trucks and cars.
"So your planning on not dying." A grulling voice talks to you. You turn and see the man in all black jump suit. The mask covers his whole face. The insignia catches your eye. A red flame with a blue out line. "You have a target on your head Blaze."
"And you my dear shouldnt be here. What would Amber think hmm."
You look away. He clicks his tounge. "Sorry that was a dickmood. How she doing." You get angry. "She starting to shoot fire out of her eyes and her skin became ash. I couldnt touch my own wife. I ended up burnig my hands."
Blaze is quiet. "Ill m ke sure your ok. Most the bastards need to go.But your one of the better ones." Blaze pats your shoulder. He walks towards 4 opertives. They are differnt then the ones from earlier. ,ore advanced tech.
Mars pops out of a vechial. You get some help and load the bomb in the truck.
As you get in the passenger side. Mars starts the truck and drives out. "You know Blaze." You look at the city through the window. "I think everyone knows the Man who killed Aspen."
Mars nods. "Yes. Aspen was popular. I always did womder what kind of women she was." You roll your eyes. "She wasnt that great." Mars scoffs. "What you meet her." You growl. "I knew her better than anyone did. Inclouding her own friends." Mars taps on the stiring wheel. "So you know why Blaze did what he did."
You shake your head. "Blaze only knows what he does. After all he kept a lot of secrets. To many if you ask me."
Mars hums. "Everyone has secrets."
You nod. "Its how we surive."
You start to see more houses. Your now on the out side of the city.
"So how does your bomb work."
You smile. "Well I wont bore you with the bullshit. But its simular to a Nutron bomb." Mars nearly slams on breaks. "What!!"
You wave a hand. "Its modifided. Its a smallercompact bomb. And will only destory the surface I set it to. And will stop at the buliding."
"Damn you some sience wizz. Because that sounds really complacted."
You laugh. "Well i do have like 6 PHDs."
"Why the hell are you doing this shit. You should be teaching or some shit."
"Like you said We all have secrets."
He nods. "We are about to be there. Put this on." Mars hand you an outfit and a face mask." you put it on over yoyr outfit. Mars pull the truck into the garage. He stops at the secrety gate. The exchange is quick and esy. "Go to the bottom last parking area." You het there after 5 mins. "Stop here." Mars pulls over. You step out of the trch. You see where you were told to place the bomb.
Mars and you unload it. As you start to activate the bomb. you get down. And set prermiters. Your back is turned to Mars.
Mars look at you "Alright now we just let them after we leave so they dont-" You turn and see a hand through his chest. You see blood pourning out. "Im sorry. Kathrine. But I have to do this."
You growl. "So just like Aspen. The man with your leash doesnt care about you. And you act as If you have no choice but we both know your not from this time. Just like that group. How would they feel if they found out if there friend is Alive and not actually dead."
You stand and your wepon pforms. "We swore a fucking oath. And you threw it away when it matter most."
Blaze looks away. "Yeah well the never found out about you either. So it doesnt matter."
You scoff. "It wasnt an exact sciens but then again you could always manuliplate time. So you did it. You fucked the project day one."
His siliance is deafann. "I always had my allagiences. But not to those people. They were monsters."
You aim your guns and your turrents summon. "I should have never save you. You were always the same monster as your mother."
Blaze lunchs at you. The fight will only lead one way. Your death.
But youll be damned if you dont hurt him.
After a short time you are thrown on the ground. His fist hits your face. Blodd start to pour out as he sinks it into you gut. "I wont hurt Amber. Thats one thing Ill do. for old times sake." You laugh. "Go to Hell Blaze. Or should I say subject 6."
You hear a snarl from behind the mask. "Atleast your daughter doesbt know you subjected her to the experiment. Subject 2 will be unawahare. Until I tell her."
Your eyes widen in fear. Then you fealt nothing. Just coldness. "Out run the bomb Jackass." you hear the bomb go off. But you dont know if the bomb did it or was it the blood lose. But you feel peace then are gone.
[[Two months later|67]]You sigh as you put the last stack of papers in the file cabnet. You need to figure out a way to convence Noah to go digtal. You slam the cabnet shut.
You grab you drink and go to your classroom. Many students pass you. As you get in you notice everyone is here. You grab papers you coppied. "Alright what I have is your scheldues for when you are to be tested. If you have two times the second one is for Shade. She will discuss your secondary powers. I will still be informed but this will not be tested till you have a better understanding of it." You give each student their own Exam time. They start to discuses with one another. You put a hand up to get everyones attention. "Also if anyone was to prevet someone to get to there Exam time it will be immadit expolusion." Everyone stops and looks at you. "Im dead serios these exam are set for specifif resons till you graduate."
Alexa Striker rasies her head. You look at her. "What if we are little late." You smile "The time is more of be there to start the check in. But you are allowed a 30 min window. But please try to be there as you have people after you."
Kristina Nikola hand shooys up. "Will we still be fighting you. We all heard that you were in recovery before we came back." All the students mummer aswell. "Yes I will still be fighting you guys dont worry. If i was unable to a replacement would be avalible."
"Now lets head to the training area as you each have a training excersis and you must complete it to get your grade."
Roughly 10 mins later.
Your in the obsertiver room with the other students. "Alright Mila Ekean, you are in a situation where there are three powered indivaduals in a room. As far as you know these are the only ones there." Mila nods her head. You then hit a few buttons. There are two ways into this rooom. All doors are baricaded. So you have a skylight were you get an over view. Or you can go through the vent system."
Mila looks at you through the glass. She then sends a message. As of today her form is where she is unable to speak. Or well it will come out as water gurgle. You look at the message. Through the vent. You nod. "Ok here you go." You hit two more buttons.
Mila comes out and starts to attack them. She does everything right but you see her mistake. She didnt take a moment to see if there were another access way or where another power could be. She does in a way pass but she went in to rash. You sigh as you hit a few buttons to get her up here.
Then your next student goes. Rodger Disher is next. He doesnt do your given access points instead makes his own. You groan He fails as the traingbots take him down. A few others go and then the final Vlada Mirko. She goes through the sky light. And use her wings as blades and takes them all down. You len on the gurd rail. They all have their strengths but they are either to catouis or to fast. They can take down the traing bots and your impressed as the owers are actually a lot high than what you said.
You get them all out in the traing area. They all look a little winded or slightly tired. "As far as im concern you pass taking down the three bots." All the students see your but coming. "However you all need to understand that there are suprises especially when you are alone. Who knows ahat they did wrong. As i can point it out but I want to see if you can tell me where you think you messed up."
Salenya speaks up. "My powers drained faster than I thought."
Kristina says something next. "I accidently made a noise with my power."
William huffs. "I dont see the point but What i did could be consider murder so i didnt pull any punches."
Alexa robotic voice comes out. "I over aniysed the situation and froze up."
You nod along listening to them. And a few others speak up after. "So you all agree realying on powers and hand to hand correct. Or freezing up and over anlysings." They all say yes.
You cant help but smile. "You are all correct but why is that. Can someone awnser that."
...
...
...
No one responds.
"Thats ok. You are all use to reliying on your powers and havent been granted access to equpimet." You move towards a table and they all follow you. You hit a code in. The table opens up to display severl wepons and null darts and grnades.
All the students are shocked. "See out in the real world or well with Villans and the gangs they use these wepons." You point at the null darts and grenades. "But you have these." You grab a few wepons of the rake. The swords, batton, and dart guns. "There are many more wepons as you will see later when you pick your gear."
You grab the null grenades and null darts. "When you are assened, recurted or form a team you will get theses." You throw the grenade in the air and catch it. "This caomes in hady if you are with a powered who is far more power full. But remember that you can be affective as well. So you can use the darts insead as many heros use these instaed."
You put the null dart back on the table. "Tonght you will be readinng over the process the Null kit as we call it does. So how long it last and if it can be permanete. Tomorrow we will be doing excercies and you will be going against one another." They all mummer. "Yes you will fight oe another. I belive its time you fight with someone who can be unpredictable."
You Start to close up the case. By the time it is moved back into the floor you turn to see some of your studenst talking to Atlas. Wait whats Atlas doing here. Atlas turns to you and you can feel the happiiess off her.
"Heya $alias. So are yu free."
You caught of gurd. "Yes." you say uncertain. "Great." She wraps an arm throgh yours and pulls you to the exit. You hear some student ahead of you. Atlas face is shilded but you see her ears turn red. "Oh no. Cant let anyone see us." Atlas starts to shimmer and you see that so are you.
You see lights bright lights like rainbow streaks. You feel like your floating. You hear voices of the students but you cant see them. You feel Atlas arm on you still. Her hold gets tighter. You hear her mumble "Just a little bit longer."
You then see the sky and feel ground. You notice your still leaning on atlas you pull away. You see taht your on a roof. You see the tower in the distance. How the hell did you get this far.
Atlas is sitting with her legs hanging of the edge looking at the sky humming. She hasnt notice you looking at her. You see her visor is moved slightly up. Shes eating a candy bar. You foot press fully on the ground and she looks at you. She coves her face and wrapps up the candy bar. "Heya you good. The ol thing can take a toll on someone when I do tha the first time."
You feel you stomach clutch. "Yeah it just felt like I was-" Atlas interupts "High? Yea. It sure feels like it its worse if i didnt have a hold on you."
You move to sit beside her. She hold ut a candy bar. "Eat. Itll help with that feeling." You grab it and hold onto it. You open it up and try it. The crunch and sweet chocklet hits your senses. Then the bad feeling is all gone. The bar is not a normal one it looks homemade. After you finish it you hear Atlas still humming her fingers tap the roof in a piona like fashine.
She then turns to you a small giggle comes from her. "So do you wanna ask."
You tilt your head. "Ask?" She blows a rasbery. "Well why i came and got you dummy. duh."
You looka t her "Dummy?" She turns her body to you. "Well Ive been investigating this thing for lady Justice and I need your help." She sighs and stretchs out her arms. "What you need my help with. You can just teleport there right?" your not sure what her power is. Atlas place a hand on her chest. "Oh I could but I hve the proble with a turn key a two lock system. So i just need you at a place and turn a key while i turn the key at the door so i can get in the room. And you warn me if someone comes." Hmm sounds easy enogh and what ever Vanessa is looking for must be important.
"Ok I can do that." Atlas claps. "Awsome. We just need to wait for 5 minitues then go."
"Hey Atlas." Atlas tilts her head towards you but still looks at the sky."Yes $alias." she humms. "How are we getting there." Atlas points at the buliding. "Im going to shimmer us there. Then you go through the vents."
Your head snaps back to Atlas. "Vents? plurle." Atlas giggles. "Na just messing with ya. Im going to do a teleprt trick. If i do the shimmer again Ill be to giddy to do this."
Atlas pulls another bar out and procedds to eat it. You hear a little buzzer go off. Atlas pulls out a timer and tosses it towards the bulding and then turns to you and place a hand on you. For a second you see a little device on your chest. Atlas pulls her mask up slightly you see her lips smile. "Have fun. Oh ill radio you when your in."
Your eyes whiden at what she just did. "Shit." she put a portable telapryer on you. Your legs start to fade. Then your hands. Damminet you havent had this happen since Lisa and you were playing tag.
Your surrounds change as you fade back in. You look at the small room your in. Secruty camera ontrols are on one side while a few lockers are on the other side. You look at the caremas and see hundreds of powereds collored or in full cased suits. You fist tightns. They cant do this. You see children as well. You try not to focus on it.
Your comm starts to beep. You hit accept. "Hey You in. Dummy." You sigh. "Yes im in Atlas." You start to click through on the console."What am i looking for." You pull the chair in and sit. "There should be a big door on one of the scrrens it a vault door."
You click through more live feeds betwwen toture and things that is just humanly wrong. You then see Atlas on the screen. "Oh you see me know." Atlas starts to wave. "Now there should be a key in a key hole near the controls. On your right."
You turn and see the key. "Got it." You look closer at the key is covered in blood. Now looking at the console you eyes adjust to the lighten you see a huge amout of blood. It looks as if someone throught was slashed then the person took the blade and went to the point to decapitate them. "Atlas did you kill the securtiy gurd." Atlas was walking towards the door and stops and looks at the camera. "What na. I dont kill people working a job no mater how horrible it is." Atlas pulls out a key. "Turn your key then tell me what you think happened." You move to turn the key and describe what you see. You see the door open but Atlas doesnt move. "Im attivating your telaporter. $alias I need you to run as soon as your feet hit the ground."
You stand up. "Atlas what are you talking about. What about you. Ill just come down." Atlas turns towards the camera. "Your not near me Im in the DZ. And just do what I say." your baody fades again. Before you fade you see Atlas turn and hit something the alarm goes off and she dives into the vault. It closes behind her.
You try to do something but your hands go through the console and you land on pavement. You see a women with slim armor withscratch marks in it. Her hands glow with red energy. You see her red eyes filled wth hate. She swings a hand down before you can move. As if she was expecting you.
Before the blow lands she is thrown towards the brick wall. You are hoisted up to your feet. You turn to see Helena. Shes not in her outfit bt just street cloths. She lets out a sigh "Cant leave you alone for a day and you ran into troble." You fumble to say something. "Itok im not saying anything bad besides lets talk to the idiot to attack my friend." You both turn and see a hole in the wall but no woman. "Damn was hoping for some fun." Helena blows some air out. "So mine telling me what you did to piss of a Slayer."
You wipe of the gravel on your hands. "Whats a Slayer." Helena moves her sunglasses to her hat. "Wow you really out of the loop. All in that tower."
You throw a you serious look. "I know more than you think." Helena waves a hand. "Im just messing with you. I had to pay a foutre to get it. Come on I had to drop my coffee and you can buy me one." You walk out onto a busy street. Helena puts her glasses on and walks towards a cafe.
Your coom beeps you awnser it while following Helena. "Are ya ok. I couldnt find you." You look at Helena and slow down a few steps. "Yeah a friend helped me deal with a Slayer." You hear Atlas grumble abut plans being runied. Buy not much else. "Its good your friend was there. I should have helped you. Look I got to go but Ill explain everything later and what the Slayers really are." The coom shuts off before you can say more. You move to catch up with Helena as you catch up you run into a tall blond women. She stumbles.
You catch her "Im sorry." She smiles. "I was in the wromg Im sorry." You see her green eyes and see a scar across her nose and around her neck. As she walks away you feel like youve seen her before. Helena whistles across the street to get your attention. You run over the strret as you sit at the table an take a breath.
Helena has a smile when you look at her. "So cant turn off being a hero." You roll your eyes. "Yeah what about you Artimas." She grones. "Im not a hero more of a viglante. Plus I dont do it that much as I like my life." You notice by her tone thats a lie.
You sit down and a waiier walks over. You both order and they leave. "So why you out her Helena." helena takes her sunglasses off and places them on her hat. "Well hero im looking into something." You nod "You mean the thing we sorta talked about." She smiles sweetly. "Sure we can agree on we talked about it. But no it wasnt on that. I was scouting a potinial dancer for a friend." You tilt your head. "You have friends." you tease. She huffs but her smiles gets bigger. "Jerk. look I want your help but I want echiolens as well." You len forward. The waiter brings the drinks and leaves. "So tthis is a big thing." Helena shurgs "maybe. but its personal. And I figure if two people would listen it be you two."
"ill bring it when i see him later but we have-" Helena interjects "The confrence I know. So contect me in a week and set it up." Helena stands "And in trade ill tell you about the slayers. And it will be what Echolen and your other friends wont tell you." You nod "Deal." Helena puts her sunglasses o and grabs her coffee and leaves. You get up and grab yours and head home for the day.
[[76]]You wake to hearing a heart monitor and somes hand on yours. You lookkk over and see jenny passed out. You then look at wher the snoring is coming from. Scott is drapped over two chairs in a akward position. The door opens and you see Shade.
Shade is looking at a clip board with a concern look. But shes not dressed like she normly does which is in all black with a face mask and hood covering hr face. Shade is wearing a lab coat over some cloths. Her skin is a white dermis with a blue line where jitys are. Her face is exposed and her hair is tied up. Its black and her eyes are a heteachromia. Her right eye is red while the left is blue.
"This is impossible. $they shouldnt have survied it but they did." Shade mubles a few other things but stops. She looks at you. She smiles at you. Shade walks to the otherside of you. "We need to talk later. Perferibl back in New York."
You nod. As when you move Jenny is stirred from her sleep. Shade gives you a wave. And walks out quietly.
"Your up and ok." Jenny says happily. You see her face is relifed. Scott shoots up and falls in the process. He hits the floor face first. "Glade your ok $alias." Jenny snikers and you smile at scott. "But are you ok Scott." Jenny askes teasingly. Scott flips her off. "Screw of Jenny." Scott gets up with a calm face. Its slightly red from embaressment.
The door opens you see Noah simple domino mask. Which means a meeting is happing. "I need the room." Jenny squeezes your hand. Scott waves. Noah closes the door behind them.
So whats the meeting aboyr. Noah tilts his head. He touches his mask like a reflex. "I forget sometimes you know what i wear." He lts out a small chuckle. Noah steps slowly over to you and sits down in the chair Jenny was in. The meeting will be a debrief about the Villians that we all encountered that incloudes the one you did as well."
You nod and feel a slight pain from the meory of the fight. "You dont have to go so it will be entirlly up to you. $name. But you and I will need to attend a press confrience in three weeks. So before your class takes their annual power exams."
You sigh. "Will it just be us." Noah shakes his head. "No a few others will be there Lady Justice and Atlas will be there. Im not sure about Jade but thats up to her."
You ponder going to the debrief or just getting sleep.
[[Go to Debrief]]
[[Get some Rest]]A part of you knows you need rest but then agin you need to know aht will be said during the debrief. "Ill go."
Noah looks at you with that look you squit your eyes. "I should go Noah. If i feel any pain ill tell you." Noah nods. "Alright get ready and ill be waiting outside."
You wait till Noah closes the door to roll out of bed. As you stand your legs woble. You grab the side table to ground your self. You grab your clouths and pull them off. You pull off the tempory mask for yours on the table. Only shade would be allowed to do it.
You open the door fully dressed. Noah is standing in front of it like a gurad. He turns to you with his arms crossed. He relaxs. "You ready?" You nod. You both walk to the right down the very long hallway, You pass a lot of students running pass you to get to class. Many say sorry others look at Noah in fear.
When you reach the elavator Noah looks at people and they stay out. He hits a button then swips a card. Noah looks at you. "There will be Agents on the floor be careful. They will be intrested in you as your Idenity is still unlisted."
<<if $intimidating gt 60>>You growl. "They need to fix there govnment. Not blackmail Heros." Noah lets outs a small laugh. "The new Director is doing her best."<<else>>"Well Ill just smile and be a condacending. Yeah thatl work," Noah smiles at your tone. "Ok, Just be a little condacending towards the Agents. The Director is trying to change things."<</if>> A thought crosses your mind. "Who is the Director now. Do you know her." Noah face twists. "The director is Val Calix." Noah shifts his feet. "I know her because Im the reason why she has powers." Noah looks at the clock. "Lady justice got her help and even into the Agency." You see noah hiding something. "Do you know her more than just her powers." Noah nods. "When you were gone i was in a dark place. Shade taught the school i just did what we use to do. Then one day I met her. Val was headstrong and full of hope. So we hangedout then. Well it just went to hell." You dont push him. He has feelings for her but cant talk about it." The elevator opens. "Lets go." Noah puts his calm face back on.
The hallway is lined with Agents on the right side and Lady Jades Warriers on the left. Almost all are women or presenting as women. You wonder if her order is just for women. You and Noah walk towards the door at the end of the hallway. The Agents look at you with intrest but with a stare. The white armored warriors stare at the Agents with hate. A few stare at you. Some seem intrested but some seem scared of you. You ignore the looks.
Noah opens the door. You see Jades bodygurdes Rune and Rene.They are in full armor you dont see theire hair or eyes today. You follow in and see a huge confence table and a projector on the table. A few agents are sitting in the middle of them you seee Agent Huxley. he is on a tablet signing documents. Proble to deal with this meeting. You see Lady Justice at the head of the table. Shes dressed like she just came from the gym. She is talking two Agents that are dressed in suits compared to Agent Huxley men who are in light combact armor.
Noah leds you to a seat where Lisa and Becca are sitting.They both acknolodge you. Noah moves to the corner. As you pull in the chair the door opens. Jade walks in you see part of her face before she covers it with a cloth. She moves beside Noah. When her eyes find yours she focuse on you. She blinks and looks away. She seems to complacate something looking at you.
Lady Justice looks at everyone and puts on a smile. "Alright everyone is here so before we start Agent Black and White will be showing the Villians we captured yesterday. If you have any questions they will awnser them. Now Agent Black will take over. Lady Justice moves to the side of the wall.
A ttall man in a black military uniform. An officer you would assume. He stands with a straight posture and he keeps his hat on instead of taking it off. "Hello I am Coropal Colin Ripley. This was no ordanary attack nor heist." One of his aids puts pictures on the computer screen on the wall in front of you.
A few pictures are shown of a garage. "The source of the explosion was in the garage under the buliding." It zooms into the bomb. You have never seen anything like it before. But you notice Lady Justice hand tightens. "Most of you wont now what this is but this is a modifided nutron atomic bomb. The bomb was design to destory just the bulding and certain structors. The creator of this bomb is a Dr.Kat Mathews. As of right now the The Apollo Intitive is looking for the doctor and possible connections. Since the Directive of Spector cant do their jobs we will take over.
The agents in the room begain to grumble and Agent Huxley looks like he is about to say something. But one of the men beside Lady justice shakes his head. Agent Huxley holds his tounge. Coropal Riply countines with a gleam of amusment in his eyes. You feel Beccas body go taunt beside you. "From what we have discovered is that Dr.Mathews was a hired Merc. We also know that the powered individualls were not apart of Blood Syndicate. So we are looking for another party to put them together."
You start looking around now as Coropal Riply starts going over a few logestics and a few are trying to suggest who it could be. You see Shade on the wall. She looks at you and smiles. And pulls out her phone and walks out of the room.
You than look at Lisa as she is drawing on the stech pad. It looks like she hasnt changed that much. You wonder if she even paid attention to the man. She looks up from the pad and looks at you. You see a ghost of a smile on her face when she looks up. Its gone as quick as it was there. She turns her sectch pad to you. Its the a very detail landscape of mountains and a small village.
You hand it back to her and smile slightly at her. You turn back to the Coropal. He is finish up as he is done you notice he looks at becca but his attion soon turns to you. A look in his eyes you cant quite decyfiver and turns away to go sit down.
An agent beside Lady Justice stands up and mves in front of everyone. "I on the behalf on the Directive of Spector I aplogize. We were aware that there wad a possible attack but were not a hundrade sure." "You what." the sudden outburst draws attetion to Azalea. You didnt even know they were in the room. The agent keeps a calm face looking at the angry thrallean.
Than the pissing match begains. You sigh as this is just going to get worse.
[[A day later]]Your exasted and just want some rest. "Is it ok If I stay here." Noah looks at you. "Of course. You deserve it after your fight." Noah pats you arm gently almost afrid he will hurt you. "Ill check on you later." Noah dims the lights and moves like a shadow. You see the door open but not him.
Then you are alone. You drift off into a sweet slumber. But you will have a nightmare again.

Why cant you. Your breathig starts to get heavy. You start feeling pain. Tera grabs you and pulls you closer. "Go to sleep will be home soon."//
//You feel as your finally waking up.//
[[A day later]]//Beep Beep//
You roll over and look at your phone.
//7:06//
//Ding//
You open up the message.
The Ai voice pops on. //"Heres your reminder that you are off today. All your students have a free day. Three students have requested meetings. I have already set up times. You have 2 hours before your first meeting. Miss Shade. She would like to talk. Then a Mx Graves. They would like to discuse the documents you got. And finally a um Im sorry my prameraters wont allow me to say. I will send you the cordents when its time. But the rest of the day is open. So have a great day $name."//
You got back in New York yesterday afternoon. Your students all got classes done. Shade suggested everyone got a day off. You agree the students needed a break after all they all had high marks and surprased any tests as well.
Becca wasnt happy about it. She wants to beat you. Lisa is curentlly in Apollo Gate handleing affiers. Tomorrow is that stupid press confrence you just need to get through the day.
You see another alert that later this week you will be watching over Leon. You smile at that thought. A part of you wish you could deal with the younger students they where easier but you understand why Noah asked you to teach a graduate class.
You head to your kitchen. You decide to make your signature breakfest. After thats done you get a shower and head to meet Mila.
Youve meet Mila before your well you dont know what to call it. But Mila was a kid caught in a fire fight and her body kept changing forms and only settled when you touched her.
Lisa was not happy. You cant help but smile at the memory. She was more worried that you were going to get hurt or your own bilogey would change by it. It was a risk you still took.
You get on the Metro and ride it down town. When you get out you get pass the crowds and head towards the park that Mila is at.
When you get to the entrence at the park it has a sign out.
//Warning THIS is a POWERED park so if your a dumbass and dont have powers leave. Unless your with a powered person. They are responsible for any incident you face.//
Ypu walk pass the both with armed gurades. You wish they didnt subjected the Powered here. But you can blame the president for that.
You get to the center of the park and see Shade. Her body is maninly covered by a cloak but her face is slightly covered by a mask. She waves at you.
Shade walks towards you. "Hey $alias."
You meet her half way. add code
"So I would like to discuse well about you." Shade motions down a path. You walk side by side in a slow walk. Joggers pass you. People who can fly are above using the course.
You glance at Shade. "Why here Shade. Someone could overhear us."
Shade looks at you. Thers an amusment glint in her eyes. "As of righ know any listing devices will be jamed and well if anyone gets to close my scanners will run a id check."
You forget that Shade is the most parniod out of everyone. "So what did you find."
Shade pulls out a folder. "Its more of what I didnt find."
You take the file and open it. "What do you mean?" You look at the charts and notes. "What am I looking at?"
Shade keeps walking. "You notice the chart spike is really high. Its way over the line" You hum as you look at the other test. "That line is where you scored last time i ran test."
You look at shade. "your saying this was when I was a beta."
Shade pulls her mask off and takes a breath. "Yes. This was when you came back or when Noah found you."
"What are you saying im higher now. But I feel the same. I dont have any ablity or any power I feel in my body."
Shade looks at you and frowns. "I dont think what this is you will feel. If I am correct this might have been supressed. So in the coming weeks you should feel a change if I am correct. But I will advise as you know if you undertake anything to push your stress." Shade stops.
You know what she means. "I will keep my stress level calm or I will try." You close the file. "Wait you dont know what the power is."
Shade shakes her head slowly. "The gene makeup kept changing as if it could not decide what it is. So what ever it is I will say it is unique to you."
You think back to what Jade said. "Are you going to tell Noah?" Shade asks while looking at you.
"No. Now is not the time. We have that press confrence in a week and he will be busy with the students power exams." Shade nods in understanding.
"You know the other day when you were fighting with them you remind me of a small team i was with."
Your suprised Shade never talks about herself. "Who are you comparing us to." You smile gently to her.
"Well they are doing well now. You know the London Rangers. Thats stupid well lets say I was there when they first started."
"Wait I thought you were apart of the Silver Gurdians."
Shade sighs and walks over to a bench. "No I never was. People thought that. After V- Sorry when Lady Justice found out what I was that was a kick out. So i moved back to london. I decided to go back home. Well it hasnt been my home for a long time but thats another story. So one day I was exploring my old travling routs and came up on a small group of kids. They had powers and they needed help. So i showed the how to control and understand there powers. I helped them get a footing in London. And they became great they manage to stop a lot and the DZ is not as bad as it was."
You look at her now and understand why she left when you were younger. "I do feel bad for not saying goodbye. But I guess I thought you that sometimes you dont get to say goodbye."
add code.
"You would like them. Emily and Xan. They are good kids. Im glad I saw them when I did." You hear fondness and sadness in her voice.
"Why do you say it like you can never see them again." You ask gentlay.
Shade loooks at the sky. "The Surge sent Emily into her mind. She relives that day over and over. And no one can help her. Trapted in her mind. Because she was traing a kid that was like her. And Xan she went back to her planet."
Shade pulls out her phone. "Ah Im sorry I need to go. If anything happens call me. As if you are doing a new metamorphas it will be dangerous."
Before she gets to far you get a question out. "Is it rare? For someone to go through it twice?"
Shade stops moving. "If it was before the Surge i would say almost impossible. But since the surge it can get up to three times. Most dont even survive the second one. Its almost never heard of to survive the third." Shade takes a slow step towards you. "I dont know which one you are." Shade puts her pal to her head "Sorry. Im nt sure if you have already gone through the second or if it will be your thrid. Your scans are adnorbile and its hard to say. Ill do more research but If it is your third metamorphs I dont know if you will make it." Shade leaves afte saying that.
You sit down at the wooden bench. You dont get what the hell the Surge is. Everyone just keeps it hush. Youll need to look more into it later.
You look at the place Azalea wants to meet its a private dinar. Youll need to leave now to get there on time.
[[Next|Azalea Meet]]You walk into the dinnar. As you close the door behind you. Your surround by darkness. An attendent walks to you. You only know because of the glow of their eyes. "Hello. Ah you are expected. Please hold your hands out palms up."
You put your hands out. You feel metal hands touch you. Then what feels like a visor place in your hands. "Please put these own. You will see what you are allowed to see."
You place them on and the room lights up. You see people lounging about and eating together. But everyone face is blured out. You can see there bodies and there mouths but not their upper face.
Youve heard of places like this. They call them blackouts. You see thralleans and humans together. Some seem more intmate with others. You look away back to the Attendent. "Please follow me the Mistress would like to see you and I belive you know her Knight.
You walk behind the Attendent. You pass severl private changing rooms. You assume its for the Thrallens. You then walk down stairs. You watch the carpet change from white to a sliver white.
You then walk through double doors. Two Apoolo Knights are in front of you. They step out of your way. Before you enter the room you over hear conversation.
"This is wrong. You already." Thast Azalea.
"Enough. I know but it was my descion." A womens voice but it sounds more harder or thicker.
You enter and see Azalea but their face is still covered. But you notice they are wearing a mesh dress with a fur coat. Azalea skin is showing through out it. Their light blue skin is almost shiny. No thats scales. Azalea scales reminds you of dragon scales but shiny like a mermaids.
Azalea looks at you. You notice she is tense but slightly relaxes at the sight of you.
"Your here. Wow your early. I didnt know your favoret so i got a samle dish for you to pick from." Your attention is dragged to a Towering women shes standing now. You would guess shes about 12 feet tall. She is wearing a full enviromental suit. The suit deflinty shows what is underneith her body s it is very tight. And her face is completle covered. At the top is a crown. It looks like its grow from her head.
She touchs her head. "Oh your wonder why this is well I will say it very nice to meet you finally $alias."
You sit in the empty spot. "Do you want to guess who am. I do so like when people guess who i am."
Azalea mumbles something. "Oh shush. I do so like humans." She leans closer "I find them fasinating."
"I would guess you are the Empress." It was obivious.
You hear a disapointed sigh. "You should be more fun. But thats ok. Ill work on it. So I belive you two have something to discuse."
You look at Azalea. Azalea lens forward. You see they set their food aside. "We do. Harmony gave $alias some files on the Patheon." The Empress tilts her head. "Yes i told her to give it to $alias. Plus it was a peace offering to Noah and Vanessa as hmm what do humans call it an olive branch. And I get to meet the human that is just soo intresting."
You see the Empress hands no claws. They are claws. She lets out a laugh. "Oh dear, sorry. I am something differnt then the Thrallens." Azalea looks at her. "You Majesty." they chide.
The Empress looks at them then to you. "Its quit alright. But to know me is what did that man say. A bastard of death. Who knows." The women stands. "I am sorry but I have to meet some boring dignatures. If you were hoping Azalea to get my source your saddly out of luck. I made a deal. But if you need me Azalea all you need to do is call. And same goes to you $alias."
With those final words The Empress snaps her fingers. She disapears. The Two knights from eairly run in. Azalea speaks something and they both sigh. They say something back.
//SLAM!!!//
The doors hit hard as they leave.
add code
"Yes Her majesty likes to evade her guards." Azalea pulls out some pictures. You pick them up and examine them. They are pictures of numries Villians. They are together many are differnt places. "These Villians are apart of the Syndicate of Stygain." Azalea nods You look at them. "You think one of them know about the Patheon." Azalea grabs a bottle of sotch and pours it into a glass. "Yes. But the members are numerious and it would be nearly impossible to figure out who." Azalea drinks their drink.
"But you have an Idea."
Azalea nods. "I do. Ive narrowed it down to two."
Azalea points to two pictures. White Death and Silver Tiger. "You mean Alice Walker and Emma Luxx." Azalea nods. You look up with an ircedlues look. "Your pulling my leg right. Those two are like the most top Villans and both never done good. Even when thay had chances."
Azalea shurgs. "They are the only ones that was in town when the Empress got the Infromation. She made a deal so she will not say who."
Azalea taps on the table before siping the rest of their drink. "So which one would you like to talk to or Try to get them to talk."
You think it over.
[["Lets try Alice."|70]]
[["We could speak to Emma."|70]]Azalea takes out a device. "I will let you know when I can track her dowm. I wont engage unless she does first."
You nod. You look down at the food. "OH sorry please try the food. I get invested in work and I stoped you from try the food."
You look at the many samples.
The food is exquest and wonderful. Many dishes you know but others not so much. BUt you try it atleast once.
(More will be added soon)
[[Next|71]]You leave the dinar and see the sun. You check the time.
//01:30 p.m.//
You then see the cordants appear on your phone.
The A.I voce chimes on. //"The cordents are. OH MY. I recomend you not to go. They are in a very bad part of town."//
Wow. You rember Noa telling you not to travel to Queens. The villians took it over and run it and the government does nothing.
You wonder who you are meeting.
You take a cab to get there. You step out and see many bulidings condemed and others being runned as fronts. you see members of the Mare cutters.
You avoid them by going through some back allyes. As you get to the cordnets you stand in a dead end. Where the ally opens two ways.
A sharp whistle cause you to turn around. You see a group of wannbe gangsters. Walking to you.
"Look what we have here. Your not from around here uh you know we run this street." They start to cicrle around you.
It takes a lot to not sigh.
add code Crule and Agressive
Before they can do anything Silver Arrows shoot through the air and hit them all in the chest. They all fall dead.
You relax your body. But not fully. "I really hate idots." You turn and see a women.
The woman catches you of gurd. Her skin is gold like the metal while she is wearing a silver Leotard with black leather pants. You see that her shoes are hightops. Her arms are fully exposed. She jumps down from the roof. You see she floats down with a purple aura. She has no wepons that you can see of but you sure she doesnt because she has magic.
When she gets closer you see her mask. Its a white leather dear mask. Its decurated very eleaglently. You know her. You step forward. Where have you seen her from. You didnt relize you are so close till your only a few feet from her.
You see her grin at you. "Well hello $alias." She step towards you to touch your face.
add code
You look at her. "Artimas." She touches her mask. And pulls it off. "I dont like the name. It connected to some people Id like to forget about. but Im sure you know who I am with out this."
At the sight of her face your eyes widen. "Helena Sky." Helena strets her arms out. "The one and only." You see her mouth open. "Oh wait does that mean your a fan."
"No." you say plainly. "Now why are you here." Her amile just radiats more. "Well I want your help but I just wanted to meet before I ask." she shurgs.
"Alright so do you want my help." you ask simple. "Ill get in contect. But here is my nnumber. Ill text you again with the details if i decide to ask for help."
[[Next|72]]You wake up to the sound of loud banging on your door. You roll out f bed. You go through your living room and swing open the door.
You body is parlyzied by fear
Two women covered in blood stand before you. They grab you and drag you into a bloddy embrace.
"Darling you left me. you left me." there voices come out simiotanusually. "Youll never leave us again. Ill leave my other helf with you every single day." one of there hands dig into your chest. You feel pain it burns you like fire. The other women lens in and licks the blood. She looks up and smiles. Her teeth become very sharp. She sinks them into your skin. The other forces her lips to yours. "Youll be ours till we let you go. My star." Your eyes get really heavy and you passout.
"AHAHAHHA. Shit shit." you throw the covers up and walk to your window. You look at the busy street down below. It brings you a sense a calm.
You shake your body and get ready. You hear a verfy gental knock when you walk into the livingroom. You open it up and see Daniella and Leon. Daniella is wearing a business suit and Leon is wearing a long sleeve shirt with jeans. Danella is grinning at you while leon is smileing shhepishly when you look at him.
"Hey, are you ok."
"No I just had a rough night."
Daniella looks at you. "Sorry try to drink something relaxing like camele or take a sleep pill. It should help ease you into sleeep."
You nod your head to appease her. But you cant do that not after what shade told you the other day. "So your here to drop of Leon."
Daniella smiles. "Yes. I will be back roughly 4:00 or 5:00. So you can let yourself in my apartment. Leon has a key."
Daniella kiss leon on the forhead and hugs him. He recipicates the hug.
"Thanks again. Leon has looked forward to being around you." Daniella waves and walks to the elevator.
You open the door wider and step aside. "Come in. Let me get a few things then we can go to the park."
Leons eyes widen with exciment. "Central park." You nod. "Awsome!!" Leoan runs into the living room.
You go to you bedroom to grab a simple dimono mask. But you decide to pocket it. When you walk back i you see that Leon is not there. "Leon." You walk futher in. "Leon where are you?"
You hear a shout. "Im in here." You eyes widen shit. You go to your Armory. You walk in and see Leon standing in the middle. Leon turns to you. "I knew you were $alias."
You look at him. "Leon how did you get in here. This door is a power pfoof lock." Leon looks away. He points to the wall. "This isnt. I just went through it." It takes a lot of strength not to let your mouth drop open.
You get closer and pull a chair from the desk. You sit down slowly. "Are you saying you have powers. Does you mom know."
Leon looks down. "She does but she said no one could know as the govenmet will send in agents and take me away."
You nod your head. "Sadky in the US the govenment will. But i wont say anything. As I had a few friends who had to deal with it."
Leaon tilts his head."Had?"
You smile sadly and run your hands through his hair. He does not lean away your touch. "When you grow up you lose friends and sometimes you just grow apart." Leon nods."Im sorry you lost your friends." Leon rubs his palms together. "Maybe me and my mom can be your friends." he says in a hopeful tone.
That gets you to have a smile."I thought we already were Leon." Leon laughs. "Now lets go I did have soem ideas of what we could do."
Leon smiles. "Ok. Lets go."
You get in the elvator and hit the lobby button. As you both walk in the lobby you keep a hand on Leon. As you pass the Attendent you wave at the front desk. You see Leon waves as well. When you get outside you hail a cab. A cab sworves to a stop. You put a arm in front ov Leon.
You both get in the car. The cab drive turns to you. Its not a real person ofcourse. "Where to." Instead of responding you put in the desination. "We will be there in 10 miniutes. But if you pay the fee You can be there in 4 miniutes." You hum and pay the extra fee. It wont hurt you. "Thank you for the primume choice." The cab starts up and flys into the air.
You look over at Leon hes face is excited. "Whoa. You just. THis is so cool." the car then dives forward Your body is use to iy but leon just starts to yell in excitment. The car then slides onto the road. you hear honking and a few people screaming at the car.
You reach over and place your arm infront of Leon. he looks at you confused.
SCREECH!!!!!
Leon goes forward but your arm stops him. "Umph." The Cab driver turns around. "Thank you for picking Traveling to Paridice Co. Where we get you anywhere in a timely manner."
You step out and eon follows after you. You wait for him to be beside you. Youu then Look at Leon. "What do you want to do first?"
Leon looks at you with a smile. "Well I might know a few people who are here from school. So would you ve ok with us meeting them. Not the whole time but just for a little while."
"Of course leon. Im just watching you today. I do have a few places though I do want to show you." Leon nods with a huge smile. "Ok." Leon starts to walk. You walk beside him. You get to a area where a group of studenst from the Schools are there and then you see a few thrallen children. A small thrallen girl runs up to Leon. "Leon you came." The girl hugs him. She relize you there and pulls away. "Oh. Hello." You wave. You see a bench where you can sit at. "Ill be over there ok." Leon nods looking at the bench. "Ok."
You go and sit down and see them all doing differnt things. The girl grabs Leon hands and runs into the playground. The playground is an antigravity. So as soon as thekids enter it they float. Leon smile gets biger as soon as he starst to float.
The kids start a game with a ball. Your not sure if its rugbey or soccor.
"$name?" You turn to the female voice. You see Lady Justice. Shes wearing a sundress with a flowery design in heels.
"Lady-." She waves her hand. "Please dear we are in normal cloths. Just call me Vanessa."
"Vanessa." you say the her name. It comes out weird. Sure you talked about her to noah like that but that was years ago.
She smiles at you. "See thats better isnt dear." you nod slowly. Vanessa takes a seat beside you. "So why are you out here $name." You look over at Leon. who is floating in the air. "Im looking after my neighbors kid. We are friends in a way." She hums looking at him. "He is certainly active with the kids and quite popular by all the kids around him."
You both sit in a comfortable silances watching the kids and Leon playing. "Vanessa." Vanessa hums. "If you dont mind me asking why are you here." Vanessa is slient for bit. "Well after what happened I needed to meet a few people but i wanted to take a break before I head back." You ponder something "You didnt go see Becca." Vanessa smiles sadly. "She has her own life now. So I dont mess with her." So you were right they dont get along. The way she talked to Vanessa had a bit each time. As if she hated her.
"Hey i was going to take Leon to a Dinnar i know dont the street. You want to get a bite before you leave." Vanessas eyes shine at the invatition. "That would be wonderful." She looks at Leon. "They dont know who you are." You both stand when Leon runs towards you. "No. Thats why I dont even have the domino mask on. Plus around here im jusst another face." Vanessa smiles. "Yes being another face in the crowd is sometimes better." You dont get to ask what she means.
"$name, Can we get something to eat Im hungtrey." "Sure we can." Leon looks at Vanessa and his eyes widen at her. "Yo- You- Ohhhhhh." Leon just goes quiet. Vanessas eyes widen. "You recognize me dear." leon nods his head. You look at Vanessa confused but touch Leon. "We dont need to draw attition to her Leon. Lets go to the dinar." Leon moves but still loooks at Vanessa. "Is she coming to." The hopefullness in his voice makes you smile. "Yes." he jumps up and yells happily. "Best day ever." Vanessa has an amused grin by his reaction.
"Hey i can drive us there. Im parked over there." You nod and the three of you head to he parking lot. As you are walking down the path a man is running and two cops are right behind the man. "STOP POLICE." You grab leon and pull him close. Vanessa stands in the way. The guy gets close he raises his arm to push her out of the way. Instead he runs into her and falls backwards. Its like the video of a person bouncing off the car. Vanessa is the car and the guy is on the ground with a broken nose. The cops grab the guy and thank Vanessa.
Leon smiles. "So cool" he mumbles. You pat his head and you countine on your way to the parking lit. Vanessa pulls out her keys and clicks her buttun. You look at where the noise comes from. You see a very beutiful white jeep. Leon runs towards the door happily. Vanessa laughs and shakes her head. "So a jeep." Vanessa smiles "Yes." You hum. "Is there something wrong with my taste in veichles." You dont hear anything bad in her tone but you look at her and see her smileing. "No Im suprised. I assumed you want." You stop. She nods. "You mean something flashy or really expensive. No I dont like that stuff. It reminds me of a simplier time."
You get in the jeep and you just melt into the seat. Its just perfect. Vanessa looks at you and smiles as weel she looks over at Leon. Who is just buzzing with happyness. "So where to." You lean towards the gps. "Can I" She nods. You type in the adress. Vanessa laughs I know where that is." Yo look at her As she pulls out of the parking lot. "Youve been there before. She nods. "Yeah, I use to tak-" Her face contorts to an emotion of regret. "I use to go there. its been awhile. is Henry still there." You nod. "Henry said he waould die there if he could." Vanessa nods. "Yeah that sounds like him. Did you know his dad bulit that place hell the whole block they are own with his powers after the invasion." You look outside at the people and smile. "I remeber him saying that his dad bulit it but not the whole block." Vanessa hms as she turns on a blinker. "Its hard for him to talk about his dad. Thast why he left it out." As the vechile turns Vanessa looks in the rear veiw mirror "You know Leon if you want to ask me any thing I will tell you to the best my ablity." Leon lens forward really." vanessa and you share a look. "In reason." "Ok can i get a list and ask you at the dinar." "Sure kido but after we order food and you get a few bits in." Leon rasies his arms. "Deal." You chuckle.
After a few more turns and a few traffic lights Vanessa pulls the car to the side. Across the street to the dinar. In big letters //The Case.// Henrys dad was a former dective you figure it has to deal with it but you dont push him like others. Becasue he doesnt push you to talk either.
You make sure to grab leons hand to cross the road and Vanesssa is behind you. You walk in the semi busy dinar. Lunch rush is about to start so you got here in time. "Have a seeat anywhere thast open yells a waiter." You feel leon tug your arm. You guys seat in the back of the dinar in a booth. You sit beside Leon and Vanessa is across from you. A watress walks over to you. "Hey Hey havnt seen you in a while $name." You send a smile over to Petal. Petal is one of the few automitrons that are fully self aware. And the name she chose herself. "Oh leon too. Is it my birthday." You smiile and so does Leon "You birthday is in 4 mounths Petal." Petal laughs or it comes out like a laugh "Oh im just joking so I would assume your usuals from you two. You and Leon nod. Petal turns to Vanessa. "Oh I must apoligize I got excited. I see you are not a usual but something tells mee you been her before." Vanessa nods slowly. You see she is tense. Ah she must not trust automatrons after all she fought servel in the war. "Sorry. Uh yes the Henrys special." Petal makes a note "Alrighty food will be out in 15 mins or less. And Im sorry for making you uncomfortable. I can ask one of the staff members to serve you." Petal doesnt word this in any negative way but Vanessa shakes her head. "Im fine dear Its just different." Petal nods and her lights brighten. "Okdokey ohhh drinks hit the pad on the wall and they magically appear." She waves her hands and goes to serve another table.
Vanessa hands are balled in fist but she doesnt notice your look. leon start to insert his milkshake and you insert yours after him. Vanessa does after you. leon starts talking about school and how its fun but boring. As it too easy and he just wants to do other things but has to go to school. Leon somehow gets you to talk about your hobby you have neglected but He gets you to promise to work more on it as its a passion. Your not sure this is a kid or a sage in a kids body. Vanessa shares about the art gallery she wants to see and leon jumps on that like a frog. He ask her favort type of art and favirote peice she has seen.
Soon the food comes along Petal is talking to another server so she place the food down and darts off. You all dig in and like always it the best you have ever eaten. You take your time but leon digs through his cheesburger and Vabnessa eates her walffles slowly. Leon gets done first and looks up. "Now can i ask my questions." Vanessa who is in mid bit looks to him than to his plate. She nods with the fork in her mouth. leon claps his hands and rubs them together.
"is it true that your favorite color is blue"
Vanessa nods "Yes but I like light blue as it reminds me of the sky."
Are you from another country
"Yes Im from Russia"
Did you take down White wolf with one punch
"Not exactly but i took down her wolfs in one punch.
You only have three children
Vanessa hesattes at this question. "Yes i only have three kids." At this you are suprised. You could have sworn she has four kids. But the look she has is regret. Vanessa is very tense at this. than her phone rings she sighs out of relif. She gets up and awnsers it.
Leon is humming as he piks at his fries. He didnt notice her reaction but than agian he is a kid or if he did hes nice enough to leave it be.
Vanessa walks back. "ill drop you off at your place I got to go see an old friend." The way she says old friend is not a good thing by it. "Alright Im done and Leaon is done right." Leon drinks the last bit of his milkshake and smiles "YEP YEPERS." You both smile at him. "I already paid" You look at Vanessa. "I could have done it." Vanessa nods. "I know dear but I had a fun time and Just wanted to pay you for the fun time I had."
The drive back is more quiet. Vanessa pulls up in front of the doors. You stop befroe stepping oyt fully. "Vanessa are you ok." Vanessa looks over at you and smiles "Oh yes im ok. Just something came up." Shes lieing about something but you think its more with herself than to you. "Ok. Well if you need or want help from someone who wont judge. You can contact me." Vanessa smile disappears. "I apperaciate the sentament but its nothing $name. Now go have fun with Leon. Afterall that sugerhigh will be fun to deal with." You close the door and wave her goodbye.
You and leaon head through the lobby and to the elvator
"i had fun. And maybe next time i can meet more of your teamates."
"thats great leon. But i dont really have teammates but i do have a few students you might want to meet." leaon smiles up at you. You look at the time. You got a few more hours till Daniella gets here. "so do you want to do anything else"
leon nods "yes" The doors open you walk to the door. "what is it" Leoan has a bright smile. "Ill show you when we get inside." leon opens the door and you are blown away from the apartment. It is beutiful. The pillows and the decor is just breathtaking. you get a warm feeling from it. Leon runs off to his room. You walk over to a bookshelf. Instead of books lining it it is pictures. Many are just Daniella and Leon but you see one that looks like Daniella parents but you see her smile is strained but Leon looks happy in it.
You hear Leon steps run back to you on the wodden floor. he comes in with a box. You recognize it. Its an new version of chess. But its all digital. Leon takes the box out and pulls out a reflective screen. Hmm its not somethng youve seen before. He touches the screen it lights up and displays it. "This use to be like chess but its now differnt. You can do anything with it now." You smile so he got the new version. Your impressed that is expensive. You wonder how daniella affords it. "So what do you want to play than." He smiles as he hits a few settings. "This." If you wernt ale to hold in your suprise than Leon would ask whats wrog. An know you courious. "You want to play a game with the student who killed and injuried servel people." leon face is innocent. "It doesnt deal with that its more of a story to prevent them from doing it. But you dont know who the student is till the end. So you need to be careful and bulid friends as best you can." You nod "Alright lets play but you need to help me alright." leon smiles "I can."
3 hours later. Dead dead and dead. you just stare at the screen. Leon is on his notebook makeing notes. Neither one of you hear keys or the door opening. "Well I see you two having fun." You and leon jump at Daniellas voice. Her hair is in a messy bun. And her shirt is untucked. leon jumps up from the floor and runs to her. "Mom." he wraps his arms around her so fast. You wont belive the day we had." Danella "Really." He nods exicittly." She smiles and places her purse down. "How about you go get washed up than you can tell me." Leon jumps up. "Ok" he goes back down the hallway. Daniella looks at you. "Thank you $name."
You smile "Your welcome. Ill do it again if you need me to." She smiles at your words. Her eyes soften as well. "Ill- I will keep that in mind." You nod. "So how was your meeting." She huffs. "Oh, My boss was very upset over something and it was all tense. I didnt find out till today and now we have to do damage control." Daniella furrows her brows. You walk over to her when she places the bags on the counter. "So your doing damage control." She nods as she takes the contents out of the bag. "Something like that. Thankfully im not the one who has to speak to our investors. But im sorta in the fire so to speak with the other." You wonder what she does. To your knowledge no compines are having any problems or PMGs either. "If i can ask what do you do."
Daniell looks up at you. She smiles "Ill share if you do." You cant help but tilt your head. "I teach students. My students also have powers." Daniella nods "ahem not vague at all ok. I work with a group of people. And they have questionable methods." She laughs as she goes back to the food. Daniella grabs a cutting board and a few other dishes to start cooking. Leon walks back in the room. "I want to help to." Daniella hands him a bowl. "wash the-." He takes it from her and start washing.
After 20 minitues the food is done and the music that was playing is now turned to a low voluem. Hmm you now what you put in the food and everythin else but how the hell does it look like this. You are drawn out of your head by Daniella laugh. "Oh wow I know that look. I always had it when my Aunt and Uncle made food." You look at her than back to your food. You grab your fork and satr to get a bite ready. "Is that where you learned to cook." Daniella nods with her bright smile. "Yeah i did. I was around them a lot." Daniella gets a look in her eyes. Her smile doesnt faulter but you think it just went into a bad memory. "So was this one of their dishes or did you comeup with yourself." That gets her out of her head. "Oh no I got this from a friend of mine just made a few tweaks over the years." You look over at Leon he loooks happy about earlier still.
Daniella looks over at him. "So you show $name your game you still figuring out." Leon nosds. "yeah we faild a lot. But i belive we will get it done one day." Daniell looks at you. You nod "We will work on it next time." leon does a wiggle in his seat. "So there is a next time." Leon looks at Daniella. "Yes as long as $name is ok with it." Leon takes a happy bite. "Awsome." He says inbetween chewing. "Chew you food first than speak." Leon smiles. "So what else di dyou do today."
"Well we went to Central Park. I meet a saw a few classmates and we played with the zerog playground. Ina was there." leons face flush at the meantion of the girls name. Daniella perks up. "Really the gir who likes you who hugs you anytime she sees you." Leon is speechless but nods as thats al he can do. "We played for a while than her caretaker said they had to go. So we went and got lunch." Leon looks at yo like its ok to teel her about a certain hero. You nod that he can. "$name had a friend show up.And guess who it was." Daniella looks at you and you just shurg. "It was Lady Justice. The Vanessa Winter." As soon as the words are spoken. Daniella hands hit her plate and drink sending it flying. Daniella stands up causeing the table to shake. You catch leons drink and yours. Leon goes and gets a towle. you take the napkin you had and start to clean it up. "Im sorry." Daniella mumbles out. her voice is shaking. "Daniella whats wrong." Your meet with silance. "Hey you can tell me." She shakes her head. "Its nothing. My mind was else where." She grbs the plate and food and dumps it in the trash. Leon comes back and dries up the spilled drink. You help clen up but with the conversation now dead you decide to say your goodbys and head home. "I better go. I got a busy day tomorrow." Leon comes out of no where and hugs your side. You pat his head as he small but he seems contect with thta. Daniella walks out of the kitchen area. "Im sorry about dinnar. I can make it up to you again." You wave hand. "No i had a great time. But we can do it again sometime." That seems to calm her. She has a small smile. "Just let me know and we can make plans." You walk out the door. And head to the elevator that goes to your penthouse apartment. There are no other doors on this floor besides Daniellas so you only ever see her.
You need to look into a few things but that can wait till you get some much needed sleep.
[[Next|73]]When you got home you didnt exlacty rest. No you got filles all over the floor and news articals that were blacklisted.
You did more research on the Surge. It was an Incident that happened all over. The files you have access to are serverly redacted but based on thhe news it was as if someone had bombs go off to alter DNA. Then there were reports of some people feeling extream headachs. Ypu would guess possible pshy overloads.
The strongs of the reports were at Hope park in Apollo Gate. Then you diged more and found that a 12 year old girl let out a Sionc scream and killed over 30 people. Causing there brains to melt. Severl others where put in the hospital. The girl died as a result from the force gentic change. You try to pull up more but you come up emppty. As if someone buried any reports on her. No name or police reports filed on her.
You sigh at the computer. You then start to look up Apollo Theater where Lena was. You pull it up. "Tradgey at the Theater." You scoff at the tital. You read over the artical.
//The podigy Dancer Lena Thorn daughter to the great Denise Thorn. Kill dozen audince members. The dancer couldnt handle the pressure of being the star. And had a mental break on stage. But reports have said That the Daughter Lena Thorn is reported cut out of the family busness Thorn dance Academy has taken down Lenas profile after Debise Thorn visited the hospital. The thorn family has said no comment on the situation. But the question is was the family ever as close as they showed to the world. Are they really as kind as they show to the public.//
You close the tab. You didnt know much about Lena before her time at Apollo Gate. She left out her past as shes hurting. You feel slight tears on your cheeck. Funny enough when you were her age god. You and Noah had countless argument you wanted to know who your parents were. He said he didnt know and you didnt belive him. He said how he would try to look for infromation.
But your stupid younger self wanted awnsers. So you went to the place Noah said he found you. Ground Zero where the Ai core was landed. A small village in Germany. Germany was and still rebulding. At the time. It was under a extreme lockdown Only authrized persanal allowed.
You got in by simply stowing away then flying the rest of the way. You still rember finding the Village. It was decamated nothing was left. You couldnt find anything. The house that Noah said you found it. But what hurt the most was that there were shadows of them simular to that of when a bomb goes off.
You were in their arms based on how the shadows show them holding a baby. You didnt know what to expect but that wasnt it. You dont know how long you were there but Noah knew you well enogh. He showed up and gave you some time.
You dont rember much besides hugging him and just wailing. Noah only let his gurd down with you. You rember him just flying and next thing you were home. Eating your favirote food and you and Lisa playing games.
You rub your eyes. You hate thinking back. You get up and get dress for a training session. You look at the time //02:30//
By the time you get to the training room your getting anxsion. You try to calm your heart rate but its not working. You know your pusshing your stress but you need to do something.
The traing bots come at you one by one you crash into them. As you hit ad kick you start to feel weak. Your body starts to ach. As you fall to the ground the bots stop immeditally. You beganin to cough. You slowly lay on the ground. You see blood on the ground.
You feel hands touch you. They bring you warmth. they are the softest hands you have touched. They stop touching you when your name is being shouted. You try to open your eyes but cant see. A visor is on your eyes. You start to remove it.
"Dont you touch it you Idiot." Beccas orders. "Becca?" You hear her grumble "Yes. Now shut up until the scan sone." You sit in silnce for a little while. Becca takes of the visor when a beeping starts. You see her face whn its complety off of you. Becca is looking at you with a frown but you notice the smallest hint of concern.
"How stupid are you." Becca rolls in the chair to the desk. You see her write something down. "Dont speak just promise not to do it again." Becca stands while turn the machines off. "Stop pushing yourself $alias. I know the exams and the confrence are coming up but you need a break. I cant read the paperwork like Shade but she will be in tuch about this." She leavs barly glancing at you. So she does care in her own way.
[[Next|77]]
After levaing Becca in the infirmy you head to your classes trainingg area. You still have a lingering headach but you push through. The prestine white hallways line your way until you get to the door. You open the door and see that some students are talking about sommething serious. A few others are joking around laughing. When they see you they all walk towards you.
"So did you all look over the infromation I sent you last night." You walk around them And head to a cosole on the wall. "Know as I set this up I want you someone to tell me what is A Null dart and Null grenade exactlly."
You start typing on the console and the room begains to change. Obsticalcourse are placed throughout the room. You turn to see Vlada step forward. Like before she holds her posture in a perfect position. "The Null dart and Grenade are two seperat chemicaal compouds amouts. The compound is code name Null. But is actullay called NX-679Z. The Nul darts are simple projectoles. They can be normal Null darts that just simple slow down the powerd individual powers. They can also be laced as sleep dart to be a backk up incase the individual wakes up while they are behind you ans cant use their powers. Null grenades are only to be used with an Alpha or Omaga powered individuals. As if someone lower was to get caught i the blast they will have permanit consaquences. Null grnades can also be lealth to the carrier so only trained indivadules are souppose to use them."
The room begains to fill in with a few bots to hep in case an emargecy. You look at Vlada she sits on the block you see her confident smirk. "You are correct. Thank you for your detail awnser. Now can someone tell me about the possible side effects and perminate consques." You look at the time. Jennys test starst in an hour.
William scoffs behind a few people. "Well we could in a way take you as an exmple. Side effects can cause powers to act up after it whers off. Null darts last like a sleep dart so it depends on the dose in it. Grenades are short term but can cause some one no able to use there powers for a few days. The permint consiques can be for both some one can lose their powers perminatlu or change how they work forever. People can also get blindness, loss of feeling, deefness. So the sense can be damaged perminatly. Then thers the possiblity of it enhanceing a person senses. but thats just bull shit. Then people can loss function in certan body areas but thats more towards the grenade.. The grenade is the most leathl. Like presten bitch her said only trained people can use them." Before you can say something Willian is then hit by a metal projectal. You look at Alexa her face is filled with rage. You see Vlada touch her discrelety and very gently. Alexa calms down.
William starts to do something but your stare stops him. "You were in the wrong so you can stop." Before you can countinue your alarm goes off. You see a new person walks in yous wave at Shade. "I belive you were to see Jennys test." You nod "They need to be split in twos and test out the Null grenades and darts." Shade nods. "Thats good. Alright Ill take over and make sure they are safe. Now go go." Shade shoes you off.
You head to the exit. By the time you get to the testing area you see jenny pacing back and forth. When she sees you she walks up to you.
add code. hug or no hug.
"Jenny whats wrong." Jenny looks at you her face is pulled in a frown. "Remmember when I said I became a hero to meet my parents." You nod. "I do. Why is this coming up now." Jenny rubs her hands back and forth. "You know how every year they get Heros to watch or test the ones whos powers are simular." Jenny gets more anxesis by the minate.
"Jenny ca you tell me whats wrong." Jenny gives up and just grabs you. She pulls you to the obsovtory room. You see dozens of heros from serveral hero groups. The london rangers, the Apollo Knights and Silver gurdians reprisentives are the well known. You see smaller ones as well.
Then your eyes focus on a women that looks simular to Jenny. You turn back to Jenny. "Your mom is Smoke." Jennys eyes widen and shushes you. Jenny Nods. "Yes, simular to you she doesnt share her name. But now im worried I not only would disappoint you but know I feel like I wont impress her."
You touch jennys shoulders. "Jenny you are ready for this. You have gone on countless missions and that is impressive enough. You will never ever disappoint me so you can nock that thought away. If Smoke doesnt see how great you are thats her loss. You will always have me in your corner."
Jenny eyes shine at your words. Before she can say anything else her name is called by the Ai on her comm. She closes it. Jenny pulls away and pulls her mask and helmet on.
You walk into the obsotivery room. As you get a seat you wait for Jenny to go out and start. For Jenny this is her last power test. The test in wich she will get recurted by all these orgnizations. You see a suit walk in. Ah looks like the Directive is intrested in Jenny. Most people were here because they watch all the studenst others come and see specifc students.
Lisa and Scott are already done and theirs will be announced on graduation. Knowing them two they would have told Jenny their decsion. So she has an Idea. Plus Noah always says if the students want to stay they can without any impressment.
Jenny drws a small sword out and you see her pull out a baton. Unlike other test with bots this test will have the bots pass as human as they use a projector to outline the body. Jenny will also have test to complete from various people to see if they can pass as one of their members. So if a student kills a bot its ok it can count as a pass for some then others. Jenny has never taken that step. Lena and Scott have but they deal in their own ways.
Jenny then steps forward she disappear and takes them down one by one. Jenny is doing great you watch as her score goes up and up. Then she fights a group and take them down they all are alive. Her score hits above avrage. Then the Villian fight the one to test her ablitys to the breaking point.
The next 15 minitues hurt you to watch. Jenny is fight the replication of Ghost. Ghost is Jenny oppisate and can beat her. You hand tightens to see her this hurt. Jenny armor is beat to hell. Blood is poung from her mouth. You think jennys about to give up but then she gets the upper hand and beat ghost by using her blood to blinDe Ghost.
Jenny proceds to beat her and knocks her out. Jennys score hits the 1500 bench mark. Your pround and hope she is to. You look at the other screen for her rank. Jenny is in the top 10 at rank 9.
Your already up when you can go to her. When you walk into the room you see a medical bot tending to Jenny. Jenny is breathing hard. She smiles or teys to when she sees you. You see the rest of the observers come down they will talk to her one by one after you tend to her.
"So I did good.?" Jenny coughs oyt. You touch her wound. "OW" She throws you a look. "Jenny you did great. Im proud of you." Jenny smiles at you. You notice she doesnt look behind you. "She wont be talking to me. Or recuting me." Jenny says saddly.
"What do you mean? You did great." Jenny shakes her head. "She wanted me to kill the bots or atleast one of them." Your suprised. "Oh." Jenny nods. "Im not a killer and I never will be." Jenny wips the sweat from her face.
"You and the others can do it but you dont enjoy it its because you see a reason why and I respect that but for me I cant." jennys tone is somber.
"Jenny." Jenny looks at you. "You dont have to ever kill ever. I want you to stay the same and never change. Thats a step into darkness and the more you do. The futher away you get awy towards the light. But people like you can reminds us that there is a light. That we can hope. We can trust again no matter how hard it is." Jenny takes in your words.
You stand and reach for a towl beside her. You wipe the blood off her. "Now go and get that unfilyered praise. As it wont last long." Jenny moves to stand. She clutchs her stomech. She laughs at your words and moves towards one of the recurters.
Next week is a busy week with your class starting their test to get placed in your other class. Then they will take one more for the end of the year.
You phone starts to ring you dont reconize the number. "Hello." You haer chatter and phones ringing in the background. "Hello This is Agent Scarlet with the Tracker Divisiom." You move to get to a private place. "What can I help you with Agent."
The agent shuffles some files. "I belive a target Im tracking is someone you would be interested in." You try to think off a few people you looked into. "Who exactly are you talking about."
Agent Scarlet is siligent fow a breath. "Red Phastasm." You neary stumble when you step. "From what I can access you ahve an intrest in her"
You already heading to the elevator to leave. "Ill be at your location in 15 minatues." you state. Agent Scarlet hums. "Ill have a poy of coffe ready."
15 min later.
Your waiting to be security check in the Agency lobby. You cant help but be irrated. This basterds treat powereds like objects not people. The tracker Divison was small when you grew up but know have their own bulding. The agency is growing to big because of the presidents anti-powered campaign.
They do a pat down and scan you. Then they try to put a null braclet on you. Thats the last straw. You grab the man hand and twist it. Then all the gruds pull there guns. You snarl.
You then hear a shout. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" All of the agents look at a tall red headed women. "If i get to three I will personally shoot you and say it was a work accident." They all drop their guns faster than what should be possible.
You let go of the man and walk towards the women. "Agent Scarlet i presume." Youget closer and see the women has a few wrinkles around her eyes and her face. Her face is intimadating as the burn mark on her neck to her face adds personality to her look.
Scarlet Looks at you with a little intrest. "Around here Im the Director of this division. But since we will work closer I figure its better to call me agent."
"So what you got on Red Phastem." you inquire.
Scarlet looks around and waves you to her. "Follow me to my office. We will be undesturb."
You and Scarlet go up severl flight of stairs. You walk into a red office with whit furnture. Scarlet goes to her desk. You see a photo that catches your eye. You see agent Scarlet with a 14 or 16 year old girl with whie hair. You also see a man with dyrd black hair smiling like a proud father. It reminds you of Noah except the man is shorter than both the girl and Scarlet.
You feel Agent Scarlet looking at you. You turn to her. Shes looking at the photo. "Happier times." she not talking to you but herself. She grabs a file out of the pile and places it on the desk. You see the name on the file //Red Phantasm// You dont open it because it the same as it was when you looked for her when you were younger. Before the accident.
"In case you need a read up. But from what I can see you been looking for her a while so Ill share if you tell me why she has your intrest."
You look at her and gauge how much to tell her on the line of trust. The only person who knows about your run in with her is Noah. So nothing connects you to her besides you heavly redacted file the agency has. Noah only told the what they needed to know. But Scarlet comes off like someome who wants to help.
"When I first started out as a Viglanet before Echolen recuted me I was following this led on a theif. But I found the theif dead body hanging. Then I saw Red Phantasm there. I tried to talk to her but she wasnt in a talking mood. So we fought and right when I thought I got her she used a distraction to get away."
Scarlet nods. "Yes she is good about getting away. I think I figured out that she is infact innoncent in her crimes."
Impossible. "How can you say that."
Scarlet looks at the board. "She may be at all her crime scens but the victems are dead before she gets there and there is no trace evidence."
You lean forward in the chair. "How can you know this."
Scarlet puts her hands up. They are covered in gloves. "If I touch a surfavc I can find trace awounts of power residue. I can then see a tempory loop and then I can see the residue till it runs out."
Your intrested. "So powers can leave trace amounts. Thats something I never heard of."
Scarlet place a hand on the desk and grabs her coffee. "Thats because the Specter keeps it hush. Not even the president knows. Very few Agents here know this as well. So you can be classifid as in the know. It would be dangerous if it gt out. Especially it not only unique to the powed indivadula but it also shows what type of powered and also their power they used as well."
Thats dangerous and very very bad. A thought hits you thats how the Agency huts for telepaths. Why no one can help them before they get them. A small shudder goes down your spine. You better get to why your here because she can read you if your not careful.
"So what is it you found?" you look into her dark blue eyes.
"When you and your students were in Apollo so was Red Phantasm. And when you returned she came back. I belive she is tracking you and trying to get to you. I know I cant put a deatail on you so hers my direct line if you run into her. I know you dont know me but I have a feeling she is investigation the Agency and she belives you will help her."
You take the number and pocket it. "If you find more will you contact me?" Scarlet nods. "Yes I will. As far as Im concern you and me are n the same side."
You get up to leave but you stop at the same picture. You look at Scarlet. Do you mind if I ask whos in this picture?"
Scarlet looks at you. You can tell your pushing it with her. But she nods slowly. "The man in the picture was my younger brother and the girl is his daughter."
She walk over to the picture. "My brother was in an accident thats what they called it but in reality it was in an explusion but no body or remains were found. And that same day was the last time i heard of his daughter."
You see she is in her own world of reiving the memery. You walk towrds the door and leave.
[[next|78]]The drive to the graveyard is quiet. Noah hands are tighter on the steering wheel. He hasnt told you if its actually emptey. So you just look out side the window. The streets are busy as most roads are closed. You shouldnt be out and walking and you dont even have phantam pain.
You see sereval Apollo Knights out in full force. You see that they are in heavier gear. They are checking cars and trucks. You sigh as you see them scan a few vechiles. Buldings that was in ruins now are being fixed.
Today is quiet no one is smiling no if you look at them they all are sad or just being there for others. You close your eyes and just listen to the soothing silience.
You open your eyes when you feel the truck change terrain. You get up and see Lady Jade soldiers patroling keeping out other people.
Noah only drive up halfway then puts it in park. You both get out and head towards the grave. You pass many with fresh flowers. You see Lady Justice and Jade with their back to you. You get closer you see that infact Shade is in the 8 foot hole. Or well one of them.
You see both graves are digged up. Yours and Rains. You step slows. "Noah did I dig up both." When you look at Noah he doesnt look at you. He just keeps walking along side you. "They were both duged when Shade got here this morning." he still doesnt look at you.
You get closer Jade and Justice turns to you. You ignore their looks and look at the graves. And your shoked at the sight. They are both emptey. You just zone into. Missing how Lady Justice looks at Noah. How her eyes bore into him.
Shade climbs out and sees your state. She walks up to you. "$name. Hey." you turn slowly to look at her. "I need you to breath and go take a walk ok. One of us will find you ok." you dont move. "No. Im good." you say low. Shade sighs as if she knew you say that.
"What now if Im alive does that mean Rains out there to." Jade is looking at the flowers that were near the grave. Noah looks at you. "Theres no way to be sure." You hear Lady Justice grumbles something but keeps it to herself. She crosses her arms. You look at her. All the tension she directed to Noah is gone. She soften her body to you. But she just shakes her head. "I need to go and talk to a few people to keep any protest done." She turns before someone can stop her.
Jade lifts up the black Dahlia. "Why would someone place this on a grave." She stands holding it. "Its meanings are anything but positive." Shade walks over and takes it from her. "Theres no reason for this." Shade takes a bag out of her pocket and places it in. "Ill get back to the lab and anylize it."
Shade is leveing when you see Rene and Rune walkig to you. "Jade theres a very pissed off she wolf or woman at the yard." You look at Noah. Neither you or him gets a word in until you hear a roar and see severl of Jade gurds on the ground. Rene grabs Lisa and pin her arms behind her. "Calm it wolf." she says in a nutrual tone.
Lisa eyes go from you to Noah than she just focues on the graves. Than on yours. "get off me." Rene doesnt let go. "I said let go." Jade nods and Rene lets go.
Lisa face contorts to a sneer. She turns to Noah. "Were you going to tell me or was this another secret you keep from me." she barks out. Noah doesnt flinch at her words. Noah looks at you. But you shake your head. Its not time. Not when she is like this. You just hope she will forgive you.
Noah whispers something to Lisa. Lisa growls at him. "No more secrets Noah or we are done." Lisa brushes past you. You see tears formig but you stop yourself. Your still a stranger to her. Shes going to be so pissed.
Noah phone rings he awsers it and walks a few feet away. Jade takes a moment to talk to you. "Do you know who would leave that flower." You try to think back but you cant remember much. "Rain wasnt well liked but its not like they were hated. Everyone liked them eventuallly as they wernt like their farther." Jade nods. She still looks at the grave. "I cant be for certain but I think this was directed to you. For you to find." Jade eyes meet yours. "Someone from your past knows something and They are targeting you." You sont know how to react. "Me. That makes no sense." She shakes her head. "Do you think who ever had you would just let go and not hunt for you." Now you feel embaresed no you didnt. "Look Ill have a few of my people look into this. But Im not telling Noah." You tilt your head. "Why?" She looks at him on the phone. "He has bee distane since you were killed or whatever." You shurg "He was morning. Jade Noah wouldnt keep something big secret from you." Jade gives you an unreadable look. She nods and sighs "Alright, Well I need to go. My people have been out in public for to long." Jade Walks towards a small group and you hear several whistlas and than they are gone.
Noah walks back to you. "Who was that." Noah sighs heavly "I just got word the President wants to hold a confrence in D.C." You both start walking to the car. "So at the old compoud Im assuming." Noah stops by the truck as you get in. "Yes its the most secure place better than the white house." Noah gets in.
"Let me guess you want me to go." Noah nods with a grin "Yes. Plus it will be good for you. Not be stuck in that Tower and just doing work." You roll your eyes. "Alright just tell me when we have to leave." Noah grin stays on his face. "It will be after the first set of exams."
"Ah great. Well Ill be trying to get a group who are entiry unparpered than a few days away yeah." You slump in the truck. Noah gets in the driver side and starts the truck. "Why didnt they know about the secod class." Noah looks at you and shurgs. "They are late comers
[[Two Days Later]] <<set $AttinaNS = false>>\

You finish packing your go bag. You hear a sllight knock. You walk over and awnser it. There no one there. You look down a banquet of flowers. You pick them up and take the to your counter. You look at the pink camellia. You see a card and pick it up. //I miss you.// thats the only thing you can understand as the rest is written in a differnt lnguge.
Your phone goes off. You grab it and look at the message.
Noah: Downstairs.
You: Ok, Be down in 5.
You grab your bag and leave the flowers and the card on the counter. As you walk into the hallway you see Daniella. Shes smiles at you. "Hey, I see your going somewhere. Can you wait a second." you nod. "I can." Daniella opens her door and dissapears for a few seconds.
She walks out with a container with some cookies. "I baked this and had left overs so here. Have fun on your trip. Will you be gone long?" You take the contaier and smile at it. "No, its a short trip. I should be back in a few days." Daniella nods. "Ok so when you come back swing by and we can have dinnar. Just let me no when and we can catch up."
You start walking toward the elevator. "Alright, we can. And you can vent about your boss." Daniella smiles and waves before going into her apartment. When you get downstairs you feel the breeze hit you before the sound of all the vechils. You see Noah tan truck parked. You open the backseat and throw your bag in. You get in the passenger seat and see Noah typing away on his phone.
"Let me guess the recurters from yesterday?" Noah grunts. "Yes. And some would like to have a few students to visit there faclitys and to get to know there futur teammates." You get comfrtable and grumble. "Its just a contest of whos better."
Noah nods. "The faclitys dont matter but the team does." You look at the people walking on the sidewalk.. "So ready for a four hur drive." you grin.
Noah lets out a chuckle. "Its not that bad. Plus you forget My truck can fly like thos cars." You nod. "Yeah. I forget that you payed how much to get that installed."
Noah doesnt look at you. He spent a fourten to get it on his truck. "How about we talk about why you havent told me about the time you had a secret party." You look away. "Alright we dont need to talk about it." Noah start the truck and puts it in flight mode. "Agreed."
As you get into the air you look at Noah. "So who gets to be with us in this misrible confrence. And also why do I need to be there. I have my student power tests and need to talk to them." Noah hits the auto piolet button. "The president is going to be there so his personal detail and the heros in his pocket as well. Then Lady Jade and Justice will be there. They will have a few of there members with them and London Rangers are rumered to be there."
You squit your eyes "So why am I coming." Noah taps on his leg. "I was ordered by the president to bring you. He seems to taken an intrest in you. And Agent Kent asked for your prences. He has a fear something is going to happen and wants your imput. On possible ambush points."
You groan and lean into the seat. "Yes i like give tactical advice to those Agents there the absoult best guys." You think back to what you saw in that room. "Do you think the Agency still hunts innocents."
Noah gives it a thought. "The New Director told me that she stoped oce she took over. But the adults and Children they had well she said they had to keep them as they were already trained. She manage to stop it. But she once told me that there is a shadow orginazition that she suspects still doing it and they belive they are with the govenment. But she also told me that te president keeps a few things hush hush. Thats all I know on the matter."
You get comftable for the long ride. You and Noah talk about different things from what youve been up to to how the Studenst are impeoving. Then you both get into a silens. You close your eyes and fall asleep. You sleep the rest of the way.
You wake up to Noah shaking you. "Were here." You and Noah get out of the truck. You grab your bag. You take a moment to look around. You hevnt been here since... since the incident. You blink and see Noah beside you. "Do you need a min."
You shake your head. "I just cant belive the press confrence is here." You look at the 12 story black and gold buliding. Your old life was here. You and Lisa did so much here. You close your eyes before steping into the double doors. The old you died when you killed all those people. You will make it right.
"Sadly this is the most secure place for a confence to be held." Noah states. "The students here will be very intrested in seeing you but wont bother you. As I told Greg to make sure they understand your here for different reasons."
You look at Noah confused as you walk in the lobby. "Greg? thats not an alias." Noah looks at you and grins "No Greg made a point he wanted his name and no mask. So i agreed. He drove the conversation for months but he won in the end."
You both get to the front desk. The man behind the desk looks up and smiles kindly. "Hello Echole the two rooms you booked are ready. Yours is the usual and your assosiet is here." He hands a card and infromation. Noah swipes it up and walks to the silver elevator. You follow him. As your waiting on the elevator you hum "So where am i at."
Noah looks at you. "Dont hate me." You squnt your eyes when you and Noah get in the elevator. "What did you do." Noah hands your card and the infromation. Your sharing a room with a diplmat. "The hell is this. Dont tell me Im babysitting someone."
Noah laughs a harty laugh. "No, Its not like that. It just a rich kid. They just list her as a diplmat so people wont know shes here."
"Who is the kid." You look at him Noah doesnt awnser. "Noah." you growl at him. He keeps his mouth shut.
Noah leds you to the room. You swip the card and it opens to a room that in size would be slightly smaller then your home. As you walk futher in your hear music. Noah looks at you. "Ill be at my room its just down the hall on the left."
You walk in and see the living room is still neat besides a few dozen shopping bags. You then see a women doing Yoga or is it polatis on the floor. "Its rude not to knock." You drop your bag on the floor. "Wait." The woman stands up. She pushes her black hair out of her face. Her green eyes sparkle at you then they change to pink. You see her body has tattos on her arms and lower torso. Youd wager it goes lower as her yoga pants are covering the tatoo on her lower stomach.
She walks up to you. Her eyes run you over. You see her light grey skin has scales like a mermade. "Hi Im Atargatis. Not like the stories but she was my grandmother. But you can call me Attina. Thats what I get people to call me outside my family." She smiles at you but the smile comes off a something more.
"Well its nice to meet you Attina, im $alias." Attina smiles. "I know that. Everyone knows about how you came in and got your previouse class in the number one rating. And plus my sisters were right at how attractive you are to." Her mouth snaps shut. "I didnt mean to say that. I mean you are but still that can be rude. Right thats rude for your kind to right."
"No its can be for some but Im ok." Attina smiles "Good." She stands theere waiting "Um Attina is there something else before I put my stuff up." Attina nods. "I was wonder if we could be friends." You blink confused. Attina puts her hands up "Not now. But the more you get to know me you can tell me before we leave after the confrence. Also if you dont mind I would also like to ask if you can be my plus one to my sisters wedding. Again tell me later." Attina starst picking up her bags. "Oh I also got you a few cloths to wear for the confrence. And maybe some other things for another time."
Attina wlks to the otherside of the room she glances at you and walks imto her room. Yo walk into your room and you see 6 bags on your bed and then 4 boxes on the floor. You set down your bag and see smaller boxes on the side table. You dont really know how to feel abot gifts from someone who doest know you.
You close your door and pull out your phone. "Call Noah." //calling noah.// Noah awnsers. "So you meet Attina." You hear him laughing that cheeky. "I did. She got me stuff." Noah starts laughing harder. "Well she likes you very much. Her farther called me and asked for a favor to put my best to keep an eye on her." You think for a second. "Wait are you saying shes the crown princess to Atlantis."
You start soting through the bags. "Yes she is indeed." Yu stop at the really expinsive shirt. "Wait I thought Alanteane Royalty had their own body gurds." You pick out. A... WTF. No you dont even want to guess why she got that. You drop it back in the bag.
Noah awnser your question "They normally do but Attina said that if you would be around her she would be safe and would draw attention." You hum at why she picked you. "She wants to have fun and not be aroubd her gurads." Noah grunts in affermation. " The Confrence will be the da after tommorrw so go have fun. Besides I know you dont get out much."
Your about to protest but Noah countines. "You either train or teach Students. You need to be around people your age. You only live once kid." Noah has a alarm go off behind him. "Gotta go my dinnars ready. Just get to know her. You should like her."
You look at your phone. "I have fun. I." you try to think back but you stop. Alright you might not do what some people do. Yeah you havent done anything in a while. Or been with- nope your not finishing that thought.
You hear a gental knock on your door. "Hey, $alias." You move to open the door. Attina is at the door with her hands together. You see shes wearing light blue halter top with a waist M-slit thigh skirt. You notice for shoes she went with are wedges. She has a black cresent moon neckless, a few bangel braclets on her wrist, and several terques rings on her fingers. Attina Hair is done up with a hair band you see her ear fins now.
And you catch yourself staring at her ears now. "Sorry I didnt mean to stare." Attina touches her ear fins. "It ok. Im used to it." You clear your throat "So where you going." She smiles. "Well I was wondering if you wanted to join mr for a night out. Theres this really cool club but I dont want to go alone."
Your about to turn her down but you rember what Noah said. "Ok. Would you like to help me pick an outfit." Attina face lights up so big you start to think back on it. Attina slides past you and grabs an outfit so fast your sure she had it planned for you. You look at it. Its your favort colors and it matches your style.
Attina leaves to give you privacy. You walk out and shes just smiling at you. "You look awsome." You dont think she meat that word but youll take it. Attina takes you hand. "Lets go."
Attina drages you out i the hallway and through the lobby. You get many looks at the two of you. Many people throw envis looks some at her some at you. But Attina ignors them. A Bugatti Centodieci is drove up by an attendent. "Here you go Mistress." Attina takes the keys but before she goes to the driver side she opens the passenger side. "Please after you. You get in and she closes the door. She walks around and gets in. The design takes your breath away. "You like?" You look at Attina her smile is big. You notce she has razer sharp teeth.
"Do you own it? Sorry thats rude of me and know im an ass." you feel embaressment radiating off your face.
Attina pats your arm. "No, its ok. I do own it. And maybe I can show you other things I own as well later." shes teasing you or flirting your not sure. "Now put your seat belt on as I like to go fast and I dont want you to get hurt."
Attina puts the car in gear and floors it out into the main street. Shes going faster than the speed limit and is acting like shes driving a slow pace. Takeit as the mermaid has supersenses as she can break and turn before hitting someone or them us.
You hear other cars honk their horns and a few drivers shout slurs. Then you hear a few pedestrians shout as Attina takes the car on the side walk. You dont say anything as you just brace in the seat. Attina Starts to laugh and looks at you. Her face is fully calm behind that smile. Her eyes seem to tell you that you be fine as long as she drives.
Your not in the car long because you pull up in front off a NightClub. Attina Laughs she looks at you with a grin. "We"re here." Attina jumps out and runs around to open your door. She reachs in and takes your hand. Your body wobbles and you fall.
Attina catches you. You face is in her neck. You senses get overwhellem with the sea air and the beach. You pull away quickly. You see her grey skin darkens around her checks. Up this close you see her skin sparkles. "Everyone is staring." she whispers. You are pulled out of your head and see that indeed everyone is looking at you.
Attina takes your hand and walks to the bouncer with you in tow. You look up and see the Club name is
//The Aqua Release.//
The bouncer puts a hand out. Attina smiles. "Were on the list" her tone commanding and direct. Any friendly tone is gone. The bouncer pulls out a virtally list. Attina says a name in Atlantian. The bouncer has a universal translator and nods when he sees the name. Attina pulls you along but stops short at the attendent and tosses the keys at the poor man.
The further down the steps you go the louder the music gets. The bass gets louder and louder. You pass many couples and others doing devant behavier you try to just focuse on Attina.
You bothwalk ito a huge room thats got to be 2 football feilds long. You see neon lights and the room is dark. You see the dancers in cages and on platforms where they can dance undesterbed. They are covered in neon glow paint.
You see normal club goers with the glow paint in different areas as they applied it themsleves. "Its so cool." Attina breaths out. "Lets get some paint." Attina pulls you towards a vendor near you.
The vender person looks at you in a know way. They place out some glow paints in containers. Attina face is bright. "Are you ok with me picking them out." You nod.
You notice the paints are unique wait there not any colors like this on the dance floor. No one has the color red or white. Attina grabs both and smiles. "So since were here together Mybe we can have it where we wear both colors." A neon light illumanates her face. You see a blush "are you alright if I applied it on you. And you can tots do it to me as well."
(the first two will lead to possible sleeping with Attina. The last one is a friend route it wont lock you out of any future interactsion with her but will be more of a shock to her.)
* <<link "\"uh u ye yes.\" you blush." "79">><<set $bold -= 6>><</link>><!--[[ClubSub]]-->
* <<link "\"I get to touch your face hmm.\" you smirk." "79">><<set $bold += 6>><</link>><!--[[ClubDom]]-->
* <<link "\"Alright, that sounds fun.\" you smile." "79">><</link>><!--[[ClubFriend]]-->
At your wording she stops. "Yes." she breaths out. You take the leds off the cotaniers. From what you remember from your lessons with Atlantian history. When one is intrested in one they can mark them in paint as they are together. And if someone would to try to interfer with there courtship they will lose respect and states. But if the one being courted does mark them as a courter then they will not loses states.
You dip you fingers in the wet paint and begain tracing lines and patterns on her face. Your intrest is in her and you want her to know that in a minatue when she sees it. As you touch her skin she flinches not much but very little. When you go from her jaw to her check she seems to enjoy it more. You then get to her nose you use the other color and decrate her upper face. She closes her eyes as you touch er forhead.
And for the final peice "Close your eyes." She does as you ask. You take a mix of the two and mark her lips. At the sudden touch she shudders. When she opens her eyes her face is decrated in a very elegantly fashion that it compliments her beuty. It also seems to make her pink eyes glow more brightly.
You take a step back. And smile at her. Attina is breathing hard and turns to look ay her feflection. Her mouth drops open. She turns to you. "Your intrested in me. Like in to me." You step towards her. "Ofcourse im intrested your beautiful and you seem to like to get people to smile. And you are certainly intresting and i woud love to get to know you more." You leave tthe last bit in a more open to suggestion.
Attina gets flustered at your words. "But you understand if peopel saw this. If people took pictures you wil-." You take her hands in yours. "Attina, I can take care of myself if that happens and If someone wants to be an asshole about us possibly being together i will put them in there place."
Your words calm her fluster. "Ok, but im not powerless either. I will protect you too. Ill need to talk to my farther if any pictures get out." You laugh. "You dad the King is known by Vomox here Right."
Attina nods. "Yes thats my farther name here." You smile. No wonder he trusted me I meet him as a kid before he took the throne. you havnt thought about him. You wonder how he reacted.
You remember how he was mean to others but really Vomox a big teddy bear. Espically when it came to you. He even offered you to come live in Atlantis when you were a kid. Noah was so offended. You need to talk to the old teddy bear one day.
"Now do me." you sat with a smirk. Attina stops as she touches the jars. "Do you. Like-" You smile gets bigger. You nod your head to the jars. "Oh yes right of course." You cant help but tease her. "Did you think I meant something else Attina?" Attina does not face you but your hear a "godess" sleap from her mouth.
When Attina does turn to you shes shaking and the cotatners are not steady. You reach for the jars but trace your fingers on her arms. You put the jars out so she can put it on your face now.
You wait for a perid of time before Attina starts
<<if $defect is "Loss of touch" >>
You stop breathing. You can feel her hands. You can feel Attina hands. They are soft almost perfectly soft. You feel small smooth scales on her hands. You also feel heat emanating from her hands. Is she healing you without knowing it. You cant but lean into the touch. When yyou open your eyes you look at her and smile. Attina has a deep blush on her grey skin. <</if>> After she is done you turn to the mirror and see she did it to. But you notice the different of the two. Your you did makes her yours and the one she did makes her yours. Shes giving up domanites to you. Thats un heard of. You see a magic streak mixed with the paint as well.
"Attina. You used magic in this. Does this mean your tell me." Attina nods "It means what you think. You are the only one who has the mark of course it doesnt mean you have to be mine it just fealt right." You smile it does in a way.
The vender look s you two. "Alright you love birds go out there and have fun." Attina smiles at the venders words and takes your hand the previous fluster women is gone. She drages you out to the dance floor.
When you get out on the dance floor its crowded and you and Attina are pushed together. You touch her and hold her closer. You dance for hours and you never once lose focus on her. And she never looks away from you. You pull her closer and place your face in her neck. She mimcks the jeaster.
When you both pull away you see her eyes. She wants you in whatever capacity you can give her. She wants you.
* <<link "\"Lets go back to the room.\" you smirk." "79">><<set $bold += 6>><</link>><!--[[Be intimate]]-->
* <<link "\"Im not saying no but can we go slower. I just need time.\" you speak softly." "79">><</link>><!--[[Not right now]]-->
* <<link "\"I like you. A lot but can we just be friends.\" you smile." "79">><</link>><!--[[just be friends]]-->You feel very hot. Like the world is gone and its just you and Attina. She smils and you see her teeth poke out over her plump lips. She takes the lid off and steps slowly towards you.
You get the feeling to run. Something youve never gotten before. Its not out of fear no but she has this domanece coming off her. "I wont bit you." She whispers low just for you to hear. "Unless you want me to." Your mouth goes dry and you cant help but gap at her. You just cles your eyes to get some peace. But you remeber the smrk on he face.
She touchs yor forhead first going slowly.<<if $defect is "Loss of touch" >>
You stop breathing. You can feel her hands. You can feel Attina hands. They are soft almost perfectly soft. You feel small smooth scales on her hands. You also feel heat emanating from her hands. Is she healing you without knowing it. You cant but lean into the touch. When yyou open your eyes you look at her and smile. Attina has a deep blush on her grey skin. <</if>> You feel the pattern drawn than she goes to your checks and she drages her fingers in a feather like touch on you jaw. The other contanier is open and than its your nose and under your eyelids.
You know what shes marking on you its an Alantian courting ritual. It is simple when one is intrested in one they can mark them in paint as they are together. And if someone would to try to interfer with there courtship they will lose respect and states. But if the one being courted does mark them as a courter then they will not loses states.
She than touches your lips. It catches you off gurd and your whole body shudders. You than fell her touch leave you. You slowly open your eyes and see Attina admiring you. "One word. Eleagent." Her eyes turn pink and they shine brightly. You manage to pull yourself from her gaze and look at the mirror near you.
Its beutiful. And you cant help but admire it. It means she intresed in you for sure. It will simple make her people stay away. Not only that but if your were to decide to end it she swears to protect you till she dies. But thats not supos to be apart of the ritual. Why would she add it. The mark under your eyes and nose mean that. Your eyes flicker to her. She just smiles at you.
You cant help but be tense. That doesnt ecsape her notice. "What is it." She whispers to you. You turn to her. "Attina this can be bad." Her face looks sad "I dont care." You are fully facing her now. "Attina." She scowls. "If any one has a problem with it I will deal with it. This isnt wrong. I want to court you it simple that. I dont care for others in my home. If you can call it that." You just nod in understanding. She has a right to chosse who she wants. But you know how the Alantians treat humans and view them.
"hey." you look back at her. "y farthers the King it will be fine. He doesnt much care what I do." You try nt to read into that statement. But you know Vomox or you did before you disappeared. No wonder Why Noah trusted me. I meet him as a kid before he took the throne. you havnt thought about him. You wonder how he reacted.
You remember how he was mean to others but really Vomox a big teddy bear. Espically when it came to you. He even offered you to come live in Atlantis when you were a kid. Noah was so offended. You need to talk to the old teddy bear one day.
"My turn." she says exictedly. You feel a blush form. You get the contanier and start to place it on her. You do the same to her traceing the patter like its the most natural thing for you to do. It feels like you did when you were with them. You cant help but smile. But apart of you feels ashamed. But you push that feeling away for now. As you finish putting it on her. You see a connection between both yours and hers. Its a magic streak.
"Attina. You used magic in this. Does this mean your tell me." Attina nods and finishes your sentance. "It means what you think. You are the only one who has the mark of course it doesnt mean you have to be mine it just fealt right." You smile it does in a way.
The vender look s you two. "Alright you love birds go out there and have fun." Attina smiles at the venders words and takes your hand. She drages you out to the dance floor.
When you get out on the dance floor its crowded and you and Attina are pushed together. You touch her and hold her closer. You dance for hours and you never once lose focus on her. And she never looks away from you. You pull her closer and place your face in her neck. She mimcks the jeaster.
When you both pull away you see her eyes. No words need to be spoken. She wants you in whatever capacity you can give her. She wants you. How long has it been. How long since someone just looked at you for you.
* <<link "\"Lets go back to the room.\" you smirk." "79">><<set $bold += 6>><</link>><!--[[Be intimate]]-->

* <<link "\"I like you. A lot but can we just be friends.\" you smile." "79">><</link>><!--[[just be friends]]-->You grin as you grb he cataniers. You take the leds off the cotaniers. From what you remember from your lessons with Atlantian history. When one is intrested in one they can mark them in paint as they are together. And if someone would to try to interfer with there courtship they will lose respect and states. But if the one being courted does mark them as a courter then they will not loses states. You also remember that a patter that friends put on one another. You dip your fingers and begain touching her face. She almost flenches from your touch. You pull away. "Are you ok?" Attina nods. "Just keep your face straght for a few more seconds." The patter isnt as difficult if you were to court her. You stop and double chech your pattern. You take the second color and trace her jaw to nose. You than add a few more lines on her cheak and forhead. You then finish. You close the lids.
Attina smiles at you. The design softens her look. She looks at the mirror and smile. She turns back to you with the smile. But the smile doesnt reach her eyes. "Did I do good." you ask as you havnt done that in years. Attina nods. "You did perfect." Attina undos her lids. "My turn." You lean forward and let her put it on your face. <<if $defect is "Loss of touch" >>
You stop breathing. You can feel her hands. You can feel Attina hands. They are soft almost perfectly soft. You feel small smooth scales on her hands. You also feel heat emanating from her hands. Is she healing you without knowing it. You cant but lean into the touch. When yyou open your eyes you look at her and smile. Attina has a huge smile on her face. <</if>> After she is done you turn to the mirror and see she did it to. She did the patter of a best friend to you. You see how it helps draw attention to your eyes. Your happy. "Alright lets go have some fun." you say before Attina speaks. You grab her wrist and go to the bar. The bar tender comes up to you two. Your not sure what to try. "Hey Attina any sugestions?" Attina gets excited. "Hell yes." Attina lens on the bar with you. "Two Posidens and add lime to them." The bar tender nods. They start making the dring and place it in front of you. You look at it. "Its Aqu and Black." You look at Attina "Why is it black." Attina smiles. "Its a secret ingrediat but it will help you more happy. Itll boost the endorfhin in your brain simular to chocolet" She whispers in your ear. "Wait am I going to get High off it." She shakes her head. "No. Its completlly natural but we should go sight down first." Attina bodu is turned to you but she looks at the bartender. "HEY!! whers the tables." The bar tender points upstairs.
You both get upstairs and notices its VIP. Attina keeps you near he as you walk in. You get a table. "Soo is this drink sweet or what it taste like?" Attina smiles. "It will taste unique to the drinker." You look at the drink then her. "I dont understand." Attina lets out a small giggle. "The chemical compound will change with your mood an a few others. Ive also heard it can make someone more what the word humans use apro- afrodisatc." You look at her suprised. "WHAT." your voice comes out a little high. Peopel in the VIP area look at you. You look at Attina and not them. Attina is amused by your reaction. "Yes it can amp someone up." she laughs at her wording. You look down at the dance floor. Than at your drink you tae a sip of the drink.
You both head to the dance floor after you finish your drinks. The music is a mix of some popular hits but the beat does get you moving. You see many people enjoying there time. You turn and see Attina start to glow. Your not sure if she doing accidently or if your seeing things. Attina starts to laugh as she moves and its infectioses. You havnt had this much fun in a long time.
An unamout of time passes. You dont rember if it was Attina or you who suggested the shots. But your regreting it now. Your heaving on the sidewalk. Meanwhile Attina is trying to help you. Shes not even druck. Your not jeles at all. "Lets get going $alias." She gets you into the car. She keeps the window rolled down. You vagule hear her say its ok if you puke in the car. But you cant focus on anything else besides not throing up. You close your eyes and lean back.
[[The next morning|Attinafriend]]You both get back to the room in a flurry. All you rember is sugeesting coming back.
You in the living room now Attina has her arms around you and you her. "Are you sure. We dont need to do this. $alias."
do you still want to do this?
(As of now the scene will be fade to black. But you will see the start before it gets to intimate. Also this is not a lock in. But will affect future realationships.)

Your words stop Attina. Something unreadable flickers in her face. "Sure we can be friends. I dont mind. But friends can still dance together and drink together right."
You nod. "Yes, lets go." You spend a few more hours with Attina. You laugh and do a few compatictions. People give you both space"
Yu dont no how much time oass but for the first time in a long time you are having fun.
<<if $emotional gt 50>>You havnt had this much fun since. Your eyes start to water. You push past people. You need to sit. You mangae to sit somewhere. You dont notice Attina coming up to you. She crouchs down at you. "Are you ok $alias?" You just shake your head. not trusting your voice. Attina nods. "Alright lets go somewhereelse." She helps lead you to a private room.<<else>>"AH yes," she grins. "How I've missed you smart arse!"<</if>>
You both get back to the room. But a thought accorses to you. You grab Attina.
* <<link "\"I had fun.\" you grin and hug Attina." "79">><<set $bold -= 6>><</link>><!--[[HugAttina]]--><<set $AttinaNSB = true>>
You pull away. "Im not saying no but can we go slower. I just need time." Attina eyes soften. "Yes. I wouldnt have it any other way."
Attina takes your hand and takes you to a more private place to sit and chat. You talk for hours. You try drinks Attina suggeste and you suggest a few as well. You learn how when she takes the throne she wont really have any power. She doesnt mind much but she wants more interaction with Alantians and Humans.
Attina touches you hand with gentalness. "We need to get going I think you had to much." Your not drunk
You wine. "But we can have one more drink. Please." you throw puppy dog eyes at her. Attina smiles. "Thats adorable but lets go." You get out of the booth you feel your feet slip. "I got you." Attina lift you up. "Dont worry I got you." Your in Attina arms. You suprised. "Your strong." You touch Attina bicep its toned.
"Hey, I know my arm is intresting but I need you to be still." You look up with innoncents. "Ill be good." You lean you head on her chest. You get her scent again. It smeel like the sea breeze. You nuzzle in and close your eyes.
When you wake your being carred in the hallway. Attina takes you into the living room. She starts to head to your room. But you whine and tighten your arms around her. Attina looks down. "Uh whats wrong."
You speak in her neck "Wrong room. Want to sleep with you." Attina trys to speak but you take no for an awnser. You are than in Attina room. She lays you on the bed but you dont let go. Attina takes your shoes off.
You try to grab her but your pull is to weak. Attina changes but your vision is to blurry to see her body. You feel her come back and you cling to her. your head lays on her chest and you fall asleep. Attina arms wrap around you. You hear her heart rate beating a steady but fast reathem.
[[The next morning|AttinaNS]]<<set $AttinaSX = true>>
Attina pushes you up against the wall. Her soft lips engulf yours. You feel her long touge proud you moth. You open your mounth to. You surrender to her.
Attina lifts you up and takes you to her room. She places you down as if shes going to hurt you. You both are panting. You feel the need for more.
You move to kiss her but she place a hand on your chest. "No. Your mine." she shoves you down. You breath hitches in your throat. She strips both of you. She does you first then she pulls off her cloths with a simple tug.
You look at her grey skin with shiny scales on her skin. She has a preditory ook in her eyes looking at you. She climbs on top of you.
Attina kisses your collorbone than to your neck. She stops at your ear. Attina whispers in your ear. "Your my first and will be the only person im with." You feel her toung on your ear. You shiver at the wetness of the toung.
She lens back and the moonlight hits her body. You see her toung is long really long. She dives into you with excitment.
You passout from the very long and wonderful night with Attina.
Your drams are full with Attina.
[[Next morning|Attinasleep]]<<set $AttinaSX = true>>
You shove Attina on the bed. She falls with an omph. You pull of your cloths and then touch her skin. You start at her legs and trac upwards. You want her to be happy.
This isnt about you its about her. You get to her thighs and pull away. She huffs at you.
But you lean in a kiss her full lips slowly. You feel her mouth open with acceptance. You feel her touge its dirrerennt it is smooth and long. When you pull away for breath you see her touge is indead very long. Your suprised.
You get in Attina lap and press yourself against her. With your combine weight you both fall into the bed. You laugh and so does Attina.
You look into Attina eyes and see them glow a very bright pink. If you didnt know better you would say that the paint you put on her face is glowinh bright.
The rest of the night passes in a blurr. Your in control and Attina loves it. Attina askes you to do certian things and you try your best to give her the best experince possible.
You both are exasted as you lay together. Attina pulls you close and falls asleep with a smile on her face.
You passout from the very long and wonderful evning with Attina.
Your drams are full with Attina.
[[Next morning|Attinasleep]]<<set $AttinaNSB = true>>
Attina reachs out slowly. "Yes." Attina starts to breath more deeply. She leads you to her room.
You both get on her bed. She holds you for the rest of the night. Attina sings songs in allantian and its beutiful. Her voice is so lovely. You nuzzle into her and let everything go. Attina runs her fingers on your skin.
You watch as some of her scales shimmer and change color. You look at her eyes and see them get brighter. You wonder if they are always that bright.
"Im glad i meet you $alias." her smile shows her sharp teeth. "If Im able i will protect you until i die. Thats a promise." Attina lens down to kiss your forhead.
You mind is clear headed. You feel something on the ind=sied bulid up and you feel like you are about to burst.
But Attina touch makes it go away. You feel a cool blaket tiuch you and you go to sleep.
[[The next morning|AttinaNS]]<<set $Attinafriend = true>>
You pull Attina in your arms and hug her. Attina stops breathing her arms wrap around you.
You feel her sigh contently. "Attina, I want to friends with you. And Id like to get to know you more than just a night out." Attina smiles when you look at her. "And I would like you to be my first human friend as well." you both bust out laughing.
"We sound like a bunch of 10 year olds." you comment. Attina tiltls her head. "10 year olds? you mean age." You nod.
You see her eyes widen. "$alias how old are you?" You laugh and hit her shoulder. "Rude." Attina laughs "Oh Im sorry." she gasps and covers her mouth. "Im older than you."
You look at her. "What do you mean you look like your in your 20s." Attina starts to laugh hard "Oh no. No Im way older." She looks away. "You dont need to tell me Attina."
Attina looks at you with determantion "No i want to tell you. Its jsut a big number." Attina coughs and smiles sheepich ly. "Im 600 years old." Your eyes widen.
What that would mean she was there when the invasion hit. "Were you in the war?" it just comes out. and you flinch at your own words. Attina face saddens. "No. I was in a deep sleep as I wanted to have time pass. I regret not being there to help but my farther told me that the Alantians could help much."
You comfrort Attina."A lot happend and we cant change that. But we can help everyone who is still affected by what happened." Attina smiles and nods "Your right." You both eventally part. "So do friends share beds." You see the hope in her eyes. "I mean we could."
The squeal of delight that comes ut that shocks you. "Go get change. And my bed bigger so thats the one. We are sleeping." You cant help but smile as she skips to her room. You throw on some cloths and head to her. As you lay down you feel arms grab you and her giggle afterword. You just settle in and drift off to sleep.
You dont have any nightmare tonight.
[[Next morning|Attinafriend]]When you wake up you become hyper aware of arms around you and a steady heartbeat. You turn and see Attina. The sun light hits her face just right.
It doesnt take long for her to wake up. She smiles at you. "Hi." you cant help but mimcik it.
You hear a knock on the door. "Ill go get it." You get up and walk into the main roo. You dont see Attina pout when you leave.
You open the door and see Noah standing in his busnisse suit. He has his sports jacket folded on his arm. He looks at you and you notice he has a small smile on his face. "Have fun."
You look at your state of dress. and sigh. "We just- no Im not haveing this descusion." Noah laughs. "Its alright." He just smiles at you. "I just wanted to say that the press relese is push back till tomorrow so today is yours. And dont worry about the confrence I have that covered." You nod. "Alright." You think back at a place you want to visit. "I got a place to go."
Noah nods knowingly. "Call me if you need me." Noah leaves and walk down to the elevator. You see a few uperclass men pass your door. You shut the door. You len against the door to catch a break. You walk back into the living room and see Attina staring at a microwave. She has a some sort of food to heat up.
"You eat meat?" Attina smiles "yes." she still looks at the microwave. "Do you want help." She smiles at you. "Please this is different than the ones im use to."
You open the package and start it up. As it heats up the smell fills up the kitchen. You turn back to Attina. She just stares at the microwave and food in awe.
"What do Alantians use. I figure that you would have our technology as well." Attina shakes her head. "No many of my people are still in useing the old ways. So instead of this contracption we use hmm its like a dragon fish. Sorry I didnt pay much attetion in my Studys. It shoots out rire and heats it up. I normally use my magic but have to be careful."
You nod. Than the smell of the done food streams out of the microwave. Than the beep beep noise. You open it up and put it on a plate for her. Attina grabs it with glee and smells it. You than see Attinas teeth and focuse on it. They look like razor blades. Attina lauhs a little at your stare. "Im a mix of Alantian and a siren so this." She points at her razor sharp teeth.
As she starts to eat it she looks at you. "Are you going to eat." You shake your head. "No I dont eat some mornings. Ill grab something before I leave."
She nods. "So what are your plans." You look out the window and see traffic and buldings. "I just need to see someone today." She looks at you and smiles. "Do you need to come with." You look back at her. "No thank you. Dont you have plans." She smiles. "I do. But its not that important as they will probly cancel. But this afternoon Im to meet someone else and if you want to go you can."
You tilt your head i thought. She touchs your head gentlly. "You dont need to decide now. By the look of it you have something in deep thought." She takes another bit and you hear a phone ring Her face drops. "Swordfish" She shove the food in her mounth and starts to run. She runs down the hall till she almost trips. Her feet slides and slam. She goes into the door way. You hear her say something than awnser the phone.
You smile and head to your room to get a fresh set of clothes than head to the shower. As you walk in you freeze at your reflection.
Your face is glowing and you see some of the marking left over. You start to wash it off and just see it absorb into your skin. Noah wouldnt have been able to see it but this isnt good she used magic. You sigh. You can get in trouble and so can she. Youll just talk about it later.
You get out and dry off and start to get dressed. You open the door and see Attina in new cloths but more of a black leather outfit. and a feather coat. Attina waves. "Got to go. My da needs to speak in person." You hear the door close.
Well you got nothing stoping you from going now.
[[A dreadful 30 mins later.|78.5]]You wake up the next morning with a massive headach. You roll over very sloly to cover your face. You are stopped by something. You raise your head to see a sleeping Attina beside you. She has an arm around you. You slowly remove it and place it beside you. he face has a smile on it. You cant help but grin.
You head to the bath room and see your self in the mirrior.
Well the paint still on you. Your mask isnt on so Attina saw your face. Thats a thought for another time. You turn on both water nobs and splash some water on your face. It helps but not much. You then get a bathcloth and start to wipe off the paint. Or try to the paint seems to almost absorb in your skin. You than see it glow brightly than fade away. Attina used magic not just any magic she used Alantian magic to put it on. "Shit." You close your eyes. Thats not good its really bad if another Alantian were to revel it you both would get in trouble. Attina broke atleast 4 traditions and 2 laws with the Accord agreement. You hear a knock on the front door. You stumble but catch yourself.
You open the door and see Noah. //Damn// You dont speak first. Noah looks at you. All of you. You look down and see just how bad your state of dress is. "Dont say a word." you rasp out. Noah smiles at you. "I see you had fun last night." You let sigh out a deep sigh. "Well you said go out and have fun."
Noah puts his hands up. "No, I did just didnt think you would. But im happy you did." You and Noah look at one another for a few secodns. "Noah." Noah hums. "Why did you knock." Noah eyes widen. "Oh I just wanted to say that the press relese is push back till tomorrow so today is yours. And dont worry about the confrence I have that covered." You nod. "Alright." You think back at a place you want to visit. "I got a place to go."
Noah nods knowingly. "Call me if you need me." Noah leaves and walk down to the elevator. You see a few uperclass men pass your door. You shut the door. You len against the door to catch a break. You walk back into the living room and see Attina staring at a microwave. She has a some sort of food to heat up.
Attina turns to you. "Hey, are you ok. You were a little out of it when we got back." You move to sit in a bar stool. "Yeah, Just got a headach. Are you haveing trouble?" Attina looks at her hand with the package food. "Yes. Your machines are intresting." You go over and put it in and help her.
"What do Alantians use. I figure that you would have our technology as well." Attina shakes her head. "No many of my people are still in useing the old ways. So instead of this contracption we use hmm its like a dragon fish. Sorry I didnt pay much attetion in my Studys. It shoots out rire and heats it up. I normally use my magic but have to be careful."
You nod. Than the smell of the done food streams out of the microwave. Than the beep beep noise. You open it up and put it on a plate for her. Attina grabs it with glee and smells it. You then see the writting. "Hey Attina you eat meat right." She stops befor she eats it. "I um yes why." You poit at the package. "Im just making sure." Attina lauhs a little. "Im a mix of Alantian and a siren so this." She points at her razor sharp teeth. "But as far as i know most Alantians eat meat. But a few dont as they think its better to eat seeweed and those gross plants." Attina face is disgusted at the thought.
"So $alias whats your plans for today." You look at her and you give a small smile. "I need to visit someone I havent seen in a long time." you try to keep your tone steady.
Attina nods. "Well later I plan on eating at a fancy restrant. I get to see a frind of mine. You should come." Your about to speak. "Not now. Wait and see if you want to later after your trip." Attina countines to eat her food and you see how she gushes at the taste. Her phone rings in her room. "Oh. Crap. Thats daddy. Swordfish." Attina takes off with food in her mouth. You watch her turn really fast into the room. You reach over and take some medicen.
That should help. You get a fresh set of cloths and head to the shower. As you get in you hear Attina speaking in alantian and she sounds like shes arguing. You enjoy the shower and try not to fall asleep. The water pressure is amazing. You get out and dry off and start to get dressed. You open the door and see Attina in new cloths but more of a black leather outfit. and a feather coat. Attina waves. "Got to go. My da needs to speak in person."
You hear the door close. So we are not going to talk about last night.
Well you got nothing stoping you from going now.
[[A dreadful 30 mins later.|78.5]]You wake up the next morning with a massive headach. You roll over very sloly to cover your face. You are stopped by something. You raise your head to see a sleeping Attina beside you. You then see your head was on her stomach. You try to get off the bed slowly and manage to get out of the room with out waking her. You see a bucket and a empty bottle of water and some eltrolites. You remember the club but not when you got here. You head to the bathroom to splash some water on your face. You get in and see your reflection. Well the paint still on you. Your mask isnt on so Attina saw your face. Thats a thought for another time. You turn on both water nobs and splash some water on your face. It helps but not much. You then get a bathcloth and start to wipe off the paint.

You close your eyes. Thats not good its really bad if another Alantian were to revel it you both would get in trouble. Attina broke atleast 4 traditions and 2 laws with the Accord agreement. You hear a knock on the front door. You stumble but catch yourself. Ok so maybe not go out with Attina for a while. You open the door and see Noah. //Damn// You dont speak first. Noah looks at you. All of you. You look down and see just how bad your state of dress is. "Dont say a word." you rasp out. Noah smiles at you. "I see you had fun last night." You let sigh out a deep sigh.

Well you got nothing stoping you from going now.
[[A dreadful 30 mins later.|78.5]]//Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep...//
//Shes worse than you though.//
//Beep//
//you did this//
The heart moniter is a steady heart beat. The breathing tube makes it sound worse than it is.
You step slowly into the hospital room. Dove lays there motionless. You couldnt belive it when Noah told you. You hurt her. You reach out to touch her hand. Her body is mostly healed shes not scared from the blows you delivered but the fear you saw in her eyes.
You see a chair and pull it close and sit near her. You hold onto her hand. "Im sorry." you speak the words out to a lieless room. "I thought you died." you feel tears start falling from your face. Dove was the one who would be there when you were angrey at the world or when you tried to run away. You rember what she told you once. //"Were a lot alike. My family disowned me when i came out. But I found another family. I also got a second chance at a family that wanted me. I know you want to know your parents hell I would but you cant change the fact you have a family here for you always."// You rember her thuping your head when you got too grouchy. Offered a milkshake when you were down or when you got a good grade. Dove was in a way your big sister. You still dont know her name. After all these years not even Noah knows. Noah always said to respect someone right to privicey. Dove did tell you she would tell you if you were top of your class and passed her score with the exam. You were so happy that day you saw your score. Dove huged you and said how proud she was. You made the dinnar resivations for after graduation and you would get to know. You also pulled Lisa in to and Dove agreed. After all her two favriote kids earned her trust and her real name.
You start to speak again. "I wasnt in control. I saw your face. I see yours, Lisa and Rains every single night. When I got control again I had every gun pointed at me and then thats it. I lost 10 years. I have flashes from the trail but not much. I also was apart of something whatever it was I dont think it was good. I wish you were still here. Out of everyone you knew how people think. Noah eventally found me we fought I dont rember it but he had to give me a serious beating. I also met Lisa again. Shes well she would be a lot better if you were here. Lisa went through with her surgries. You would be so proud." You look at Doves hair. Its not dyed that redicules white anymore now its just ash blonde.
"Noah gave me students to teach. Its difficult sometimes i feel like a fraud. I cant show my face at school." You close your eyes. You need to leave soon. When you hear the nurses move around. "I think Im going down a path and I have no way to control it. My body has spasms pain that I can ignore but its like Im at war with myself. I dont know if or when you wake up that Ill be here. But I want you to know you were the best big sis I could have asked for."
You stand up and kiss her forhead. It takes everything for you not to just sob. "I-I almost forgot." You pull out a pentagram with an ice symbol in the middle with all the other elemants on the outside. "I dont need this any more Sis." Dove gave it to you when you turned 16. Something along that it would bring you happiness. But now its nothing but a grim reminder. You hang the neckless on a picture fram with you in Doves lap. Shes tickiling you and the shot is just right where your both smiling at the camera.
You straighn you back and pull the ball cap closer to your face and pull up the face mask up. As you walk out you go to the stair well. You manage to catch a glance of Violet and Lisa talking to the head nurse. You ignore them and leave. You dont notice that Lisa and Violet head into Doves room.
You need to make one more stop.
You stand in a crowded sidewalk and stare at her statue. Aspens statue. You were easliy inspired by the women. But Lady Justices speesh made you waint to be better to be apart of the charge to protect everyone.
But rose tinted glasses only last for so long. The truth always bleeds through. You walk past the Silver statue and walk into the Hero Archive.
As you walk up the steps a very tall imposing man passes you. Pushing you as a result. You straight out your bag. You dont pay him much notice. But you see two bodygurdes meet him. "Mr. Adrian your veichel is ready." The man scoffs."tsk I told you not to approch me in public." You see the body gurds are embarresed. Yo dont stay around to listen to the suit berate his empoly.
You get to the base of the final steps. The Hero Archive is a temple design after the greeks. The gods are still on the temple but more mondernized as they were all once heros who procted earth. Or ruled with an iron fist depending on who you ask.
The Archive is open for all but the more private sections are restrected access. You thankfull just need to swip a card and ignore the masses. You pass a grop of norm children on a field trip. Some stare at you others look at others. Anyone with a card and just swipes is a hero. But theirs no way of knowing unless someone knows their real idenity.
You get the lobby and pass many people in the way talking and or looking at the exibits. But one catches your attention. A new exibit you didnt knew existed.
//Its.//
//ITS YOU.//
The exibit begains playing.
//On March 20, 2007 the top student of the graduation class went on a killing spree. They killed many students and instructors. The student was eventually subduded and was latter put on trail. The student was to be excicutted for the crimes they did. But Senator Troy Sterling pushed for the Privation act. Or Privation. The Privation was passed and the student was one of the first to go through the process. Many were outraged at this but no protestes stoped it. The student then went through the process and died. It is said that the Students brain chemistry was affected to the point they lost it. They survived for 3 hours before passing away. The students name has been removed as it is ufair to the family members.//
The exibat stops. Thats it. Thats all they say about you. You see your old uniform. The black and gold outfit you got for your grades and exemplary traing. But its not in that light. The fake blood and the tears in it. You close your eyes and look away. You didnt kill them something forced you.
You pull yourself away from it and avoid a few tourest. You get to the back elevator and swip your card. The gurd doesnt look at you twice.
You hit the B90 button. You lean against the wall near your back. You pepare yourself for the drop.
//Swoosh//
Your stomach rises up as you go down. You hear the elevator beep really fast. It takes 3 minites for the elevator to reach the floor.
You step out and see the old archive room. The years havnt been kind. You see a few people here. but they are all looking for something and wont bother you.
When you first started teaching one day a note was left on your desk.
//You want the truth. go to the Archive in B90. Find Project Mind Snap. Your awnsers will begain there. sincersly a friend.//
Your not sure about the frind part but you want to know. You Start the proccess of looking for the file. The amout of dust could count as a weapon. You hear someone sneeze across the room.
You keep going then you see a file with a Green Leaf on the folder. You open it and read Mind Snap. You move your bag and place it in it.
Your about to leave when a very tall imposing women stands in frnt of you. She looks at you with disand. "Who the hell are you." She grabs you pushes you against the concret wall. "You didnt awnser little bird. Tweet and I might let you go." You try to speak or move but your body isnt responding.
"Ow birdy cant speak. Well maybe ill cut you up and thatll get you to scream." You dont see the masked man and woman till the tall women is on the floor. "Thats enough Black Claw."
Black Claw stands up you see her face is filled with rage. "You just touched me. Your going to learn some respect for you superious." Black Claw moves fast but the other women doesnt move. You then see her simply touch her watch. Black claw falls to the ground scraming covering her ears. The other women sighs. "No you forget who has senority and the right t privacy."
The masked man looks at you with indifference but her eyes seem to soften slighty at you. He crouchs down at you and pulls you up in a sitting position.
"We will meet again $name." He injects a syreng in you. "Black Claw has a parlyzies agent. It wont last long with whay i put in you. She will be out for a while." He stands up. You manage to see a a glips of his face. A long scar is behind his ear. He picks up Black Claw body. She can swollow him whole. Hes there one min then go the next. You blink to see where he is. But he is gone.
The masked woman crouches down and stares at you. She doesnt speak but she lens closely and you feel a familarity. You cant see her eyes as the mask is covering her eyes to her nose.
It hits you shes that slayer from the ally way. She sees you realization. And just scoffs. She stands and walks to the center of the room. You than see a red aura suround her as she disappears.
You manage to get your barings and see the file is still in the bag. You dont get much time to think before you hear a alarm go off. Time to get out of here.
[[A weird place|79]]You get to a private place and open the file. Its heavly redacted. "FUCK!!" You flip through it and see the name of a subject.
//"Amber"//
You cant tell if its a code name or a name. You then see something that didnt get blacked out.
Another name.
//Cloud.//
That sounds faemiel. Youll need to reach out to that snitch of yours. You havnt talked to that weasly in months. You sigh youll have to wait till you fet back.
You slide the file back into your bag. You len into the park bench. You see children playing a game of tag. You smile at the calm they bring you.
You dont notice a short dark haried woman watching them with a far away look. Until you her a sniffle. The women is the defination of elegance. When you look at her. You see a worn wedding band on her ring finger. You feel like youve seen her before. Almost as if she regrets something. She turns to you and you only notice how she is older than you because of her eyes.
"Hello." she says candidly
"Hello." you mimic her reply.
She walks closer. She points beside you. "Do you mind." You shurg. "I dont mind." She sits down. "Its nice to see them like that. Innocent and happy." You look at the children and you cant help but agree.
But a thought crosses your mind that you voice out loud."Not all children are innocet at that age." The women frowns. "Sadly there are more children now who are aware of the curllity of the wourld."
The women turns a ring on her finger. "Do you have someone speial." she askes the intresive question.
Well its not like you do. Not really. "No. Not yet." She nods. "You have time. I just hope you dont get invested in being a hero."
You turn your head to her. "Howd you know." she cuts your question off. "That your a hero. How you carry yourself. And how you also keep an eye on the crowd." She gives a gental smile to you.
She takes out a pair of sunglasses and slides them on. "If im correct and Im sure you are one of Echolen proteges." Shes not someone you know.
You never meet her. You squit your eyes in suspion. "Who are you." The women laughs at you. "Wow you really are his protage." She laughs a little more but your not amused.
She moves to stand she picks up her purs. You tense. But see her body is relaxed. You notice something. You see a glimps of a picture of a man and women with a child. Before she walks away she gives you a kind smile. "The name Sydney River." She smiles kindly. "But it was nice to see you again. And Ill be cheering for you. After all Echole only had one protege. Good bye my little valkyrie" Your blood run colds. Then shes gone.
The //fuck//.
You need to see Noah now.
[[Next|80]]<<set $hitnoah = false>>\
<<set $walkoutnoah = false>>\
You get back to the academy and see the instructors walking out. You see Noah. You walk up to him and grab his arm and drag him back into the room.
You shut the door and scan your card locking iit.
When you turn back to Noah. His face is filled with concern. "$name whats wrong." you put your hand up. "Sydney River." you deadpin her name. Noah eyes widen. Then he does that thing where you know hes kept something from you.
"Who is she." you get in his face. You know you will only get awnsers this way or he will lie. Like he did before. "Noah."
Noah jaw tenses and lets out a sigh. He moves to lean on the confrence table. "She was.." Noah hums. "Someone who at one time was there for you as a mother."
You try to think back but it hurts try to think that far back. You get a splitting pain in your skull. "I dont rember her. Why dont I remember her Noah."
Noah shurgs. "I dont know she was around for years. She left when you where 16."
//16!!!!//
"Noah i have more gaps in my memory.." you say with your breath hitching.
Noah moves closer but stops. "Well with the Confrence being reschulded we will be leaving in a few days. So ill try to reach out to a specilist I know. Thats if I can get him. Ill also ask Shade to do more scans as well." You roll your eyes.
Noah narrows his eyes. "You know Shade does it because she loves you." you nod. "I know, but I wish I didnt have to deal with this shit." Noah eyes you with concern. "$name." he says kindly.
Thats when you snap.
Youve had enough. "No. Its bullshit. I had everything I wanted at my fingertips. I wanted to be great. No I was great. Than the fucking thing happened where i lost controled." You close your eyes. The headach is getteg worse. "No one fucking belived me. No hero that I helped no one stood up and defended me. Everything I beleved in got thrown out the window and Im tired of acting like the hero community cares."
This pisses Noah off "I was there. Vanessa was there." his voice comes out as horse.
You turn to him and you dont back down. "It wasnt enough because you allowed them to take me. You allowed them to take me. ME!!" your screaming now. you dont care if anyone hears. Your just tired of having to wear the damn mask. Not being able to tell people your name.
Noah starts to say something but you cut him off in your anger.
"You know damn well you could have saved me. You know you could have chosen a place for me to start over. Instead you and everybody eles allowed those bastards to srap me in a meta chair where needles enter MY spine. I lost my fucking powers. Now im just a fucking tarhet for the Alpahs and there are a hell lot more now. I know youve sent me on easier missions and thats why you put me as an instructer. Not because you thought it be ood. No you did it so I wouldnt be a liablity."
Noahs face turns to shock. You countineu. "What did everyone do when I died they moved on. Instared of stoping the with their new pumishment for powers you all just folded. Cut your loses and win right. RIGHT. THATS something you told me to never do. EVER. You always told me that there is a light a fucking light in the darkness and I feel like a hypicret tell lies to the students my students." Noah moves to calm you. But instead it infruates you more.
(Warning SELF HARM. It is on both.)
[[Punch Noah|80.55]]
[[Leave, slaming door.|80.5]]<<set $walkoutnoah = true>>
Before Noah touches your arm. You snatch it away. You wont do something to him. You sling the door open and causeit to slam behind you. Everyone outside flinches. You ignore them and walk out.
You dont remeber much eles. Just that now your in an ally.
Your in a shitty neiborhood. You start to feel something. Before you can figure it out you colapse from the pain in your head. You push yourself towards the wall. You fall down the wall and you see a streak of blood follow your hands.
You start seeing faces to many for you to focuse on. To much emotion to feel.
You than do something bad. Is it you or it it that thing. You hit the window near you. It shatters. You grab the shard. You look at your self. No the thing. Its smile is to sharp. What did you do who are you.
You just want to understand what you are. You pull the shard close and start cutting.
//SLit//
you whince at the sound but keep going

the sound of your blood pooling around you.
//slit//

You feel weak. You cant help but smile. You want it to end. Tired of hiding it. the hate yuve kept bured. Beng a rock for them. When they left you.
If you only knew that their was someone who would do anything in this world in this universe to just save you. To see you again.
You feel yourself drifting. You feel peace. Acceptence.
If only you knew the hell you raised.

[[Next|81]]<h1>Pov- Attina. </h1>\
You sit in a exclusive resturant. You look at the Elit and can barly contain your snarl under your calm mask. You start tapping impatiently onnn the table. You look down at the time on the phone. Thats what humans call them. Youve never understood the fasination with thwm. You notice youve been her for 50 min. Than a text message from your farther. Than another from his favriote wife. He stood you up. Dammint dad you swore. You slam the phone on the table. With the loud sound everyone looks at you. Apollymia blood. Than you stop. Shit sorry mother. You hate curseing your mom. She had the decentce to tell you why she left and actaly give you love.You see the watier walk up to you. "Mistress." You look at them with a straind plesent smile. "Dont worry Im leaving." the waiter turns. "OH, wait humans tip yes." you reach into the wallet and pull out a few hundred dollors. The waiter looks flabergasted. "What but Mistress you." You ignore their protest. "I dont need it." yoy wave as you walk out. You seriously dont. You know what its like to dig for scraps. But no one wants a pity party. You get to your car and head back to academy and to your bed. As you drive a thought cross your mind. You offered to go out with $name. You sigh.
<<if $AttinaFWB >>
What you agreed to scares you. Your kind does not allow their mates to be with others. So why are you even ok with$them possible chossing another. You marked $them. Its not bad right maybe maybe it wont be bad. You touch your lips. The kiss scared you. It wasnt what you expected. Not for you to want more. You wont scare $them..
<<elseif $AttinaNS >>
You wernt ready for the contact. To just hold them. it was different. You put a front for everyone. But with $them it fealt real. You dont desire the pleasure of the flesh. Sure you can expeence better more than any other being but its not a need. Your sure humans have a name for it. But your kind just ignor it. You want the Alantians and Humans to be closer but they just wont the older generation to look past the war that happened when you were a little girl.
<<elseif $Attinafriend >>
A human friend. That certainly intresting. You cant stop the grin from forming on your face. You wont lie you wanted more. But than aging you havnt had a connection with someone in a long time. A friend even longer. You wander if Lyla would have liked $alias. You try to think on happier times.
<<elseif $AttinaSX >>
You blush at the thought of $name. You and $them. You squeel in your seat. The family in the suv beside you look at you. You blush harder. You hit the gas when the light turns green. Your not acting like $they will want you indefiently. But youll enjoy it as long as you can. You wont lie at the time your were facinated by them when your half sister showed a picture of her instructor. You couldnt help be jelouse. Especially when she said she was goig to sudece $them. But your happy enough.
<</if>>
Your pulled out of your thoughts when you accidently nock into a few students. You see multiple little groups of students talking back and forth. You hear $alias name and Echolenes as well. Then you hear a student say
<<if $ $hitnoah >>
"I wonder why $alias hit Echloen." another pepes up. "I know right."
<<elseif $walkoutnoah >>
"I wonder why $alias ran out like that." another pepes up. "Maybe Echoloen wasnt allowing something."
<</if>>
You start to worry that doesnt sound like $alias. $They wouldnt just do that. You think about going to Echolen but stop. Itll only slow you down. You head outside. You must have just missed them. You see where some people complaing about a rude $gender. You head in that direction. You walk in a bresk pac. You dont get far till you start to worry. You see a few men on the ground groaning. Thats when you get a scent of blood. //No// You start running. Despite what the humans say each one blood type is unique. You are one of the few creaturse that can tell the difference.
You get to an alley. And the sight horrifys you. $alias is cvered in their blood. you are on the ground beside them before you can blink. You start searching for the wonds. Bout you find none. You find none. Thats thats impossible. You cant hear anything. Than you see $alias eyes open. Its not the same color before no its not that shade $eyecolor. Insteade its nothing. Just clear eyes with no impossible. Than its gone than you see wounds open up. $name gasps for air. You cover up the wonds that open up. You start to heal the wonds. Than you feel a pull to do something. You can heal $alias $defect. But you stop yourself. You will ask later. Than you think about the other night. Were you healing $them when you wernt paying attention.
You stand up to pick up $name. Before you can grab $alias a sword hits the wall beside you. The razer edge stands out. Fuck a Slayer. Yu grab the sword and throw it towards the Slayer. It perices their chest. But thats not the only one. You see several standing with blade drawn. Great just great. "What do you want with $them." The one in charge steps forward. She tilts her head. Her red eyes are angrey. "We dont want $them yet. But you. The prinecces we want you. Dead or alive. The contract said so." You summon your spear. "If we fight you give me your honor you leave $them alone." She nods. "As I said we dont want $them yet." she put empjises with yet. You wont let them touch $alias.
You look at $alias face one last time. You just hope to see $them again. You didnt get that cjance with lyla. You close your eyes and charge at the Slayers.

You thrash against the divine binds. You want out. You will carve your way out. They will all burn. She will pay she will pay.
They said you killed them. You were innocet then they killed her. Your beloved in front of you. You anger burns the binds hurt you till you collopse.
You see the divine watchers piling in. You cant help but smile. Play time.
unknown amout off time passes.
Your running threw the woods running through the mud and blood. You just need to get a place of saftey. You fall on the ground. You crawl behind a stomp. Your hear the soldiers and Divine grudians pacing.
"Find the Witch." You hear to many voices next but then they all fade as they get further away.
You wait until day light and move again as they cant be out for the genaral popules to see. Thats what you overheard a commander say. That was 12 commanders ago.
You walk through the brash. You get hit with the sun. You cant help but smile. You than feel something. A prayer. Your body Is tempory moved. You see a little girl shes hurt in ways a child should never. You whisper "Ill be there soon."
You come to understand the people cant see you. Besides those insufreble prist. But the Divine warrers cant come here. Not in the captial.
You get to the girl. You dont know how long it took but the pain she went thorough hurts you. Why does it hurt you?
You kneel to touch her. She flinches at you touch. "No, my darling." your voice comes out as motherly. As she looks up she is filled with fear. But she doesnt lean away from your touch. You cup her face. You know how monsters your apperance is.
Than you see her eyes. Puple. The mark of your kin. Shes yours. You kiss her forhead. You heal her wounds and train her to protect herself so no one will ever her again.
Time passes once more.
You see her in all her power and glory. She turns to see you. "Mother." Her eyes revert to purple. You hug her with your deathy touch.
When she pulls away. "What happened. Are you in truble." ou shake your head. "No my darling. Its just." You close your eyes. "Im dying." Your child eyes widen. "What can I do we can fix itright." shes trying to save you. You shush her. "No. You cant. Its simple my time to move on. And I have to give my powers to one of my chosen or someone worthy of it." The realization dawns on her. "Mother no." she shakes her head. "It already done." Her face is suprised. "I come to ask a favor. For you to do something." She takes your hands. "Anything mother."
[[I need you to kill a human for me.|83]]<h1>Pov- ????????. </h1>\
You sit in the very lavish room where all the other villians are sitting and talking. You are bord of the nonesense over the conversations. It started off like any normal meeting with everyone disscusing their plans and robbries. And if someone was planning on doing the same job they could work together or do a fight to see who earns it. This doesnt grante it after all as the other can still do it before the other. You close your eyes. No now everyne is talking about the attack that happened in Apollo Gate. An unsatiened mission or well it would be if the people ere appart of the synidicate. No someone took a few indapendents and did a awlfe good job at the distraction.
You see Blaze is talking to some of his opertives. You sure he has something to do with this. But you would want to make an accuasition. Not after last time when they all decided to cut your touge out. You have mended relationships and it helps that the bastered that did cut your touge out all died. Youve been offed healing and several other thing but you dont want that. Blaze eyes look over the room he sees you but asses you by. Hes looking for someone. Itll be near impossible. You shake your head its pointless. You get up to leave with a few other villions.
Before you get to far Lamashtu wraps an arm around you. "Darling your more quiet than usually." You tilt your head to her. You hate using signlaguage but with Lamashtu can just look in your eyes and know what you want or need. Right now you convaying how tired you are. Her smile faulters. She pulls you to the side. "Darling you havnt been sleeping why." you know why. She pops your arms. "Dont get sassy with me. You know I care about you." Funning thing or ironiclly most villins arnt killers. Yeah thats not what the President Stearling will say but were not all that bad and collartall damage is to be at a minamule. You look back at Lamashtu. I need sleep please. She relents. "To think my bestfriend a workaleic." You roll your eyes Lamashtu gives you a quick hug. Before stepping out she riverts back to her full demon form. She shouts at some henchmen about getting back to work. You laugh a little.
You countinu down the dark hallway and sigh. You get your a villian but we could have better lighting as people can lose items here and its very hard to find them. You get to the elevator and see a small line you len against the wall near you. The two sisters in front of you are giggling over their suprise for their wife. Bellona and Kakia. They dont always get along but they will protect their frinds in a heartbeat. Thats better than some heros. Bellona sees you and hugs you before you can move. Kakia isnt any better. "Psyche.!!" they cheer as they hug you.Kakia speaks before her sister. "We have big plans tonight. But sre you ok. Like we heard you were there" she whispers the last part. Bellona nods. "Whos ass d we need to kick for yah." You shake your head. "No dont worry they didnt see me." you sign to them. Unlig others your sign laugege is uniqie as with your powers only people you allow can understand it without any prior knoledge. They do that sister thing were they look at one another and nod. Kakia "Look we get weve been gone but we still love you too. Plus you still need to visit." You look away sheepish. Its not like you dont want to youve just been busy. "Im looking into something." you sign. They both sigh. "If ya need us when you find something call." Bellona puts a hand to her ear like a phine. You relent and nod. They are you big sisters after all. They both hug you before getting on the elevator. You wait till after or youll just be n it longer. The elevator is a unique design were its actually 20 differnt elevator that are in one huge tunle network. Its a flawless system and the work it put in to make it and the upkeep is hard but the engennering departmet likes it as they can simply avoid people. Goblins and other undesirble creaters make up the engenering depatment. You still rember metting the head of it. The man was covered in grese. But you were more suprised that the globns didnt look hidious. But they are treated bad on the surface even if thay still have 74 percent human in them. The elevator dings you step in. As your about to close the door you see the line is much longer. A lot of people are tired by the looks of it. Than two figres stand out. Youd curse if you knew it would show on your face. White tiger and White Death. despit the names they are not related in any way. And they wre the most ruthless people on the consual. They unlike the rest also go by their first names as well. As they are about to get in a villian you dont reconize steps out of line. "HEY. WE HAVE RULES YOU CANT--" they dont finish that sentence as White Death turns and crushes him with his on blood. They have their own rules. And youve avoided working with and staying away because of how they are. "Are you going down to level VGB." You look at White death than to White tiger who whats for your awnser. You nod reluntally. "Excelent." She drages white death in the elevator. As you press the button and swip your card and than do the key turn you are than going. White death places a gloved hand on her face. She still has a pissed off face. You try to ignore the akwad siliens unil White Tiger turns to her friend. "So did you find your target yet Alice." Alice growls. "I did. But Im still obserbing them Emma." Emma hums. "Well ill be busy traing the men today and tomorrow so I wont be able to say goodye." Alice nods. You swear you notice regret in her wods to her friend. "I heard $alias will be there can you belive it." emma sounds excited. Alice looks awy from her frind stare. "Oh come on your not still-" Alice stops her. "No. $alias is an opsicaly that will be taken care of." From how they just talk they know $alias well. But you dont rember them interacting with $them ever. Alice throws you a look to not tell anyone.
The elevator door opens and you see Nyx and Mania having a heated argumet again. Than the punching starts. Emma sighs and looks at Alice. Alice grumbles. She seperats the two and grab them by their ears like children. They both start to whine. Nyx and Mania are still tennagers but are quite powerfu for their age. Alice takes them down the yellow line hallway. You hear something about your Parents will deal with this and you hear them beg to not get involved. Emma smiles at you and walks out. Bt not far. As your departments are close together. You sign how are your men. She gets a look in her eye of glee. "Well theve come quit nicely. And how goes the torture room." You scoff. You dont tourte anybody. And plus thats the asshole thing. He really hates your guts. By the time you get to the Red hallway there are dozen of soldiers lined up. All at attention. Emma likes the idea of soldiers and world domanitaion through an Iron fist. You ignor them and go to your door. You eye the soldier i frnt of your door. You shoo your hand. The move out of the way. You hear them do that chant when you close the door.
//Hail the Blood Syndicate.//
You shut your soundproff door. You turn and see the scientest and lab techs doing experments. You yawn and decide it better to sleep. You hit the buzzer at your command console. You tell them to get sleep and no arguments. They are relunte to go but go neverless. You are not on the same floor as them as your 4 stories above them. You didnt like the idea of people in your space. You turn on your secrety functions and alarms.

You tap your thron in an impatint rythem. You shold be there. You shouldnt have put your work first again. But you did. You always put your throne first. Espically when it comes to her.
Your not a great farther thats for sure. And it makes you look worse when you put your others before the throene. Attina hates you. You are aware of this as she made it clear.
//Why wake me if you dont love me. I was sleeping soundly.//
or the time.
//You choose your pure bloded Alantian children over me because you are ashamed of me. We dont go out and they hate me. The sirens and alatians hate me because of you. Because you seuded my mother.//
You let out a deep sigh. You wanted it differently this time. After her friend Layla death she became closed off and dociile. Many in your court was happy. Than that changed when you saw her eyes go to pink when her sister showed a photo. No one saw her eyes but you thankful. Youve tried to nudge with human relations but purest dont like it.
Your youngest said some things. Thankfully Attina controlled herself. Or you would have to do something you hated. You turn your attention back to your court. Many are factions trying to change your mind about putting Attina as heir.
You havnt truly decided yet. You watch as some are talking to you but youtuune them out. Than your doors open. Its one of your scouts. You grab your spear and command the nobles to leave.
They all scatter with their tail tuck between their legs. You wait until your gurds seal the doors. You step down to the scout. You learned that certain people apperacite the idea of being equal. Its a tactic youve used for centries.
"My king. Princess Attina has been taken." You blink. Your daughter. Your first born taken. You want to kill the basterd who took your daughter.
"They found $alias ther as well. Unconscious" the scout countineus. As they know you want the whole report before commenting.
"Who toook her." The scout body trembles with fear not wanting to be on the edge of your wraith. "The Slayers."
You growl. "Dont let this get out. Or it will be your head." You turn not caring for their reaction. Youve proven time and time again to not fail you. A sthe ones who fail are punshied.
You move through your castle with a fast strid. You get to the com room. Noah will be closer and will actually help.
You hit the red glowing comsoul. An image of Noah appears. He doesnt seem suprise your calling.
"Vomox I have severl teams looking for her as we speak." You feel slightly reassured. Unlike your kind Noah is a friend. And hes proved it many times. You hated your kind were asleep during the war.
"Thank you my old friend. I also heard that $alias was hurt as well." Noah face darkens with regret. Intresting he hasnt been like this since $name. "$They were. But it looks as if your daughter heald most of the wounds."
That sounds like your daughter. "I understand you have people but I would like one of my people to be there to help." Noah nods. "Yes. Just send them through the teleporter and we will explaine what we have." You will send your daughters personal servent as she cares for your daughter. If not more than anyone can care for their master.
You sigh. "Ill send Talon." Noah hids a small grin. Talon and Noah have meet and fought along one another. That means they wont argue.
You close the console and Summon Talon to go find your daughter.

You drag the Princess by the back of her neck. You did your job. And she still alive. All te other slayers are walking down the halls or traing. You take her to her cell.
You power the dampiner when you step out. You walk to the Mentors office. He will be displeaced about not killing $alias. But that wasnt your mission. And after last time you dont care for another faulier.
You walk upstairs to the main area. To anyoe else you look like a another busy body. As Mentor usees the gusi as a lawfirm. But your no Lawyer.
You hit the button to the office area. He owns the buliding but rents out the other floors as a way to stay hidden. You walk past a waiting area and see it full. You ignore them and go straight to his assistent.
They look up and smile. "You can go right in." she hits a button and you hear it unlock the doors. You walk in and see he is on the phone.
He sees you and motions you to sit.
"I dont care about the margins. You said that Cybil Pryr would lose stock and investors,. So why does she suddenly have Bio compiny contract. I was close to shutting it down."
You sit and get comfrtable. Cybile is an ignima to say the least. She was considered dead and came back and rose from the ashes and rebulit her familys company. Mentor suspest She is a hero but she covers it up well. As you havnt found evidence.
"Find out how NOW!!!"
He slams the phone down.
He looks at you. And walks around the desk. Hes hand connects to your face. You knew he was and you could have stopped it. You didnt. You turn back and look at him. "Thats for not killing $alias." He walks to his armor and takes out stoch. He pours a glass and downs it. It pours more and walks back to you. "Now you captured the Prinecess. I need you to get the infromation before the Contact picks her up." you nod. You stand to move. "Dont fail me again." You dont show any outward reaction but you know you cant fuck up again.

You walk in the hospital. Your heels click on the floor. You see a few students in the waiting area. You pass them. You keep walkig and stop when you see Noah.
Your heart racing. After all these years I still- No
//NO//
You will not make the same mistake again. Your here for $them. Your valkyrie.
You walk up to him. Naoh not wearing his mask or outfite. Just regular cloths. But knowing him hes taking a break from the suit. Itll be on in 15 mins.
Noah jaw tightens when he sees you. "Where-" He puts himself between you and the hallway. "Why are you here." he growled.
You sneered at him. "I just saw my valkyrie alive today. So you better damn well know I want to see $them"
Noah shakes his head. "You hurt them before." he states. You freeze. "You pushed us away first." Noah flenchs. "The only way You wouldnt do that to $them was if I left Noah." Noah looks away.
"Please Im not here to argue Just let me see $them." Noah relantly nods. He walks you towads the room.
When you walk into the room you see $name laying uncconcess. You see lines like cut marks. No. You turn to Noah. "Why did $they." Noah face mirrors yours. "I dont know." You frown. You start to touch $name arm. You feel residue magic residue. Its seeping out the wounds. But you dont feel. "$they dnt have their powers." You cant feel any of it. "No they dont. You would know that if you were here." You feel like he slapped you. "Noah." you cant but plead with him. Noah just waves his hand. "Im getting some air." Noah walks out the room but stops at the door way. "You can tell anyone you are $their mother or gurdian. Just dot tell anuyone who $they are." Noah stoms off.
You sling your purse down. You only left because- god that asshole. You grab your phone and message your boss you wont be there today till tomorrow. You just say you have a family problem come up..
You close your phone. And put it away.
$name does not have their powers so why do they have magic pouring out of them. You look at the simple mask on $them. Noah must want to only have certain staff in.
You hear the door open and you come face to feac with a women you havnt seen in a long time. Shade.
You and Shade look at one another. Se was there when you wernt. "Syd." Shade doesnt hate you atleast. "Shade." you greet her politly. Shade looks at the clipboard in her hand. "How are $they." Shade eyes squite at the pages she flips through. "Stress level are above normal and brain scans are adnorble." You look at her expectnly. Shade laughs. "Sorry, As of now $they are stable. But I will say this memory loss is evident before $their disappearnce." Disappearence.
"What are you talking about Shade." Shade looks at you. "You didnt know." You shake your head. Shade saighs and places the clipoard on the bed. "When the excicution took place they changed it to the privaton.." the privation. No. Shade countines. "We all saw the body hell i went through all the checks." Shade shakes her head. "Then we bured $them. Turns out somone diged them up and took them away." You close your eyes. Youve been visiting an empty grave every year.
"So your saying someone resurected them and what." Shade looks at $name body. "Im not saying $they were dead. Or hell this is the only time I dont know anytthing. All I know is when Noah brought $their body in alive I did my job as a doctor and fixed them. But then $they woke up. 10 years we thought $they were dead. Instead some evil bastered had them as a pupet. And $they didnt remeber anything." Shade face is filled with anger. You cant help but be anger as well. "But we notice other things. $Name no longer had powers. $They could still be consider a Beta. As $name body can still move faster but the wings and healing ablitys were gone."
"Wait if the healing ablitys are gone how are they ok as if the cuts are gone." Shade sighs and place a hand on her forhead. "As I now I dont know. The Priencess did heal the wounds but its as if they healed then ree open. And thats all i know. I have a few test runing with blood work and A brain scan being examed by a friend of mine." Your thankful Shade knows many people.
"Noah will be looking for the princess but the search isnt going well." You look at $name. "Ill be here. Shade hums as if she knew that would be your awnser.
[[Your not leaving this time.|87]]Your back in the room with the two murles. They are bleding. And it looks as if they both connected punches. You close your eyes.
But it stays the same. You move to get up the stairs but then are stoped. You look down and see a faceless person holding you. Than servel more grab you. You try to scream but your voice is gone.
You are yanked into the darkness below. You land on a pile of dead bodies. you roll off the mountian of them.
As you land on the cold hard ground you pull yourself up. You hear crying.
You get closer to the sounds. You see a women curled up holding something. As you get to the woman you see she is nothing but a husk of herself.
The sounds come from somewhere eles. You see a path form to the left.
[[Take the left path|path1]]
You move to the path on the left. As you step on it the darkness shapes the world to a medeviel era. You see a small village.
People are happy. Something that is rare now. No oe seems to see you You pass Nobles helping the pesents as if they were equals.
You keep walking as a pull is tugging at you. You keep going till your in an open plain.
In the middle is a house. The land has crops. A farm. You get all the way to a grey door.
You move to open it.
"Are you sure your ready for whats behind that door." says a voice behind you.
You turn and see a small elven child. Her golden eyes shine bright.
"Why wouldnt I be?" you sk.
The girl walks on the porch and sit on a rocking chair. "To know your past is a big responsiblity. Espilly this one." the girl has a small sad smile.
"Are you the women from the last dream." She shakes her head. "No. She is someonne else. I am important to this one."
"I dont understand." you mumble. She gets off the chair and walks up to you. She looks up at you. "Sadly $name you wont understand in this form. But I can try to explain." She looks at the door and shivers. "Walk with me."
You follow the child back to the village. They are as invisavle as you irt seems.
"What do you notice when you look around." You look around and see peace and happiness. Children everywhere. Men jeering and Woman laugh at children antics.
"The perfect place to live. But theirs no sadness no fear and no hate." You look at the girl. Shes holding a leaf. "Theirs only humans here if you notice. No other race is here." You look and see she is correct.
"What does that mean. How would it affect this." The elf looks at you with her arms crossed. "No different idels, different traditions and especily no one looks different."
"What changed?" she looks down at her hands. "Me." her voice crokes out. You turn to her. She has atears falling dwn her face freely.
"I was born and they all changed." You watch as time speads up. You see a elven child alone. Brused malnetrtues. You watch as the buldings grow into a small castle than to a captial. the child in front of you watchs as the older verson gets beatin publicly. Whipped. Watch as her crys go unheard. Everyone watchs with glee others just ignr as the blue blood pors out of her.
"No one every helped me. I lived for centries filled with anger bitterness. Towards the humans." The girl ages to the the woman walking home. "I had more scar tissue than clean skin. I had to forage for food. or stael. The second one I never got away with it. As i aged my body became resetend so they got more creative in hurting me. By the time my 200 hundred birthday came they made it where I could have children. Saying I was the darkness.. "
You follow into the house thats also a potion shop. "I tried to leave multiple times. But I was always beaten to near death than thrown into the dugon. The royals where unaware or they didnt care that a innocet was treated like this."
You see her in the dugon. Hanging by chains. New cuts are everywher. But now she wears a mask. "They made me wear it because my beuaty was unnatural. So they made me wear it by a magic seal. The prestest said that only the gods will unlock it when Im not the evil any more."
Her fist are tighten that you see blood is come out. She looks at you. The full metal mask now takes over her face. "Two hudred more years passed."
I was finally left alone. she says with disguest. My hate only grew more. Than one day when I was in the market they said a chosen would be picked to lead the charge against the army. I lost the name of them years ago. But like everything I went home. That night I was visted by no other than the gods them selves. They summend me to there cort." She hist the wall near her.
She starts to laugh. "They had the adasity to say that it was my purpose. And that they belive I would be the one to do it." You watch as she breaths hevay. "They tried to say it was all a trail. A fucking test to see if i could handel it. Than they asked if I would accept. They didt say I couldnt ask questions but I knew it would all be bullshit. So you wanna guess what I did."
You say it calmly. "You regected them." She nods. "I regected it. Because in the end I would be thrown away and all the smiles would have been fake and twofaced. I would also been excicuted as the chosen would use all the power the godes gave them to near death and the people woud have killed me and lied I was a trator."
She summons a chair in front of you. She sits slowly as if shes hurt. "So they called me a disgraced. They tried to hurt me with words." She chorttles. "I laughed at them. It was the greatest moment in my life. I thought at one poit they would help me but i knew in that moment they were just worthless just like the humans. They cast me out. I was wounded and marked for it all."
You see the house turn to the twoen square where a gulitene is. "So i was set for excicution. By the chosen. the chosen wasnt one. He had the church lie and he bragged to my face."
You watch as the gulitean goes down. You feel fear not yours hers. You feel compelled to stop it but your frozen again. You see the blade kill her.
Than your back to the house. With the grey door. You turn back and see her back as a child. "What was that?" She smiles coldy "My death... Or well one of them." You swol "Was that a trick." you accuse. She sighs. "No. But if you go through that door it will answer that. But be warn it is just the past. the past cant hurt you. Abd this is one of many for you."
you stare at the door.
[[Go through the door|path1 door]]
[[Dont go through the door.|path1 Dg]]
You move very slowly but you open the door. You stop before passing through the threshwhole.
You walk into the beutifull bright light.
You dont hear what she says behind you.
"i never said when it was."
Your eyes are blinded. You cover your eyes and see your in a wodden house.
You see fresh food made on the table. Two places are set.
You hear humming in the other room. It brings you calm warmth. Something you havnt felt since, since.
You walk through very tentitive and creak open the door and see a women.
You know her.
[["Mother"|mother]]
You pull away. Your not ready. Not ready to know yet. You feel confelcted to do it but in the end yor scared to do it.
A gental touch gets your attench. "Its alright $name. Sometimes we dont need the past to understand what we are." she takes your hand and walks towrds the path again.
"You know something is going on with your body. And your looking in the right place."She says softlt.
You touch the childs hand and rub her palm. "You cant tell me whats going on can you." She looks at you sadly. "No." one word filled with regret. "You always manifest your powers differently. And since thay were taken away." She takes a steady breath. "Your body is try to access something that I your memores cant tell you.."
"Who were you to me."you ask she hums. And looks at you. "Depending on how you look at it. A friend, lover, or partner." she shurges "It depends on the timeline you see. But we were happy in all except when we never met."
"Thats the one I saw." you wager. she nods "See you are something that exsist in all of time. In every reality and evry diminsion you are there. If you arnt well people die."
"Why?" she shurgs. "Its something youve tried to figure out plenty of times. But the awnser is not there." You sigh. "I dont always remeber do I." she laughs a little. "No not always. Sometimes you live a good life and others you dont. Just like now your mind is mapping out what to remember and not. Just like the murul you see that is what will decide what you remmeber."
"How can a murul decide that. How can I choose."
She smiles. "If you saw two swords then thats how. Im not allowed to say more. But the swords will decide who you are in the end."
You get to the end of the path. A white door awaits.
"Your way home." Before you move she tignts her grip. "You wont remeber me or this. But I hope you knnow this in that heart of yours that you made me a better person. I only hope you can get someone who loves you for you." you dont get a word out before she hugs you.
She whispers something and pulls away. "Goodbye $name."
[[beep beep |Hospital]]
She turns around at your voice. Her eyes shine bright with happiness. She stops what she doinga and sweeps you into a hug.
A warm motherly hug. The hug you wanted when you woke up. You dont even notice the tears falling as you look at her. "Baby whats wrong, momays here." she wipes them away. "Your real." you whisper. its all you can say.
"Come sit." she pulls a chair out. You sit down. She grabs the tea thats starting to whistle. She stets it on the table.
She smiles at you. But she frowns and looks away. "You probly hate me. And I understand if you do. but please put that aside till you asked your questions. Just know some I cant awnser."
<<include DialogLoop3>>
You wake to a sound your getting annoyed hearing. Like it just annoys you.
You sit up slowly and see that its daylight. The blinds are open and the rays are hitting your body. You hear commotion out in the hall.
You eyes regerster movement. You look to your left and see a women sleeping with a coat covering her. She looks peaceful.
Shes the woman from yesterday. You look to see if the clipboard is in the room. You grab it and start to read it.
It boring till you get to your brain scans and the MRI. You read over Shades notes. Shit. Your not doing so good. You than see the power scan. Your reaching to where Shade said its dangerous.
You close your eyes. Your losing control. You remember the ally and cutting yorself. But it was the only way to get control. You just rember feeling your anger. Things youve kept close. No you just tried to ignore it. A part of you feel bad with Noah.
But your tiered of the sevrets. You swing your legs out of the bed. You barly touch the ground before you hear a voice.
"I see your just going." you freeze You stand and look for your cloths. Knowing Noah he put them for you to grab. "And I see that your here. How long has it been 14 years." You dont need to look at her as it wasnt suppose to be nice.
"What are you doing." you scoff at her question. "Leaving isnt obvious. You rummage through the drawers and closet. Grabing your cloths. "Do you even know what you did how you hurt your self. You cold have died." You go behind the private screen. You start changinging. "I know what I did. So Sydney why are you here." You walk out as you say the words. You dont miss how her name makes her flench. She gets up but doesnt walk to you. "I came here-" The door opens as Noah and a Alantian in obsiden scale armor walks in.. Sydney looks at Noah and sighs. She grabs her purse and moves till she stops in front of you. "Ill call you later." She starts to reach out but pulls away. "Sorry." she mumbles. she leaves walking really fast and covering her face.
You look at Noah he still wears a gurded expression. His eyes however have a hurt expression. But he turns his attetion to you. Oh the serious face what the hell could it be now.
You sit onb the bed and put on your shoes. "What is it Echolen." He closes the door. The alantean goes behind you and looks out the window. The keep their hands together like an officer does. "Its about last night." you huff and look at him. "Yeah what about it. And why the Alantian." Noah gives you a hard look. Its not about what you did. Its something else. "Echolen what Happen." he sighs. "Its Princess Atargatis shes missing." You unconcsiily clentch your jaw and ball up your fist. "Are you looking for her. Do you know who took her." Noah sighs "Yes we are I have 6 teams scouring leads." He pauses. You give hime a hard look. That says Noah im tiered of the secrets. "Slayers. Thats who took her." He looks at the alantian "You two will be together in looking for her. She will tell you about the Slayers." Noah gives a small nod and walks out.
You turn to the Alantian with your arms crossed. She keeps a unfazed gazed looking at you. "Walk with me. Ill tell you what you need to know." her voice comes out cold.
You walk out in the busy hallway. Agents and severl heros are bantering back and forth even pointing at areas they cleard. The alantean shakes her head dissappointed. "They wont find her." she says low. Shes not talking to you its a statement.
She leds you till you get outside. Theres a beutiful founting where a few students are talking and doing school work. She pauses and looks at the founting. "Your kind takes water for granted." she says with sadness.
"So what do you want with me." you sit on the fountain looking at her. Her helement covers her face. You look at her armor is bulit for her smaller frame. Its not bulky in any way. She pefers speed and moblity of reslentes. You see two daggers on her right hip.
"Hmm you were one of the last people with my charge. Atargatis wanted to meet you so I want to see if your the hero she thinks you are." She looks away and focuses on the water. Her stance becomes gurded. "The Slayers are an old orgnzation of Assassions or what ever they need to be. They are normally paid in old coins that are hard to come by. They would only target the princess if she found something or knowing her pissing off someone. Unless.-"
She gets quiet. "Unless what" She turns her head and looks at you. "Unless who it is is trying to get at you." You look at her like she cant be serious. "I only knew her for a few days." She humms.

She looks at the tea and starst making a cup. "I cant tell you my name for one nor your oraginally name. Like i can tell you that this isnt a curse or some divine punishmen. That is something Me and My sister stoped a long time ago. After all she was a punshed for being diifferent. And I didnt know till I came back from the magic academy."
"How many life times have I lived."
That suprises her. She grins. "8" you look at her you figured 3 or 4 not 8. She looks at you and take syour hand. "Its not that bad. Each time youve decided to do it. You can only do it by your own choice. But." she stops.
"But what. What is it."
Her eyes focue on yours. "I cant say much but the last time you did it under deres. I dont know much as the rules stoped me but during the god war you were one of the main chargers and you betrayed alot of people. All Ill say is thta your lucky you have even a fragmet of your soul."
Your brain is left with more question but it seems thats rnough on that subject.
<<include DialogLoop3>>
The question in itself is innocent but from what you can peice together your not human. Or you are in body but in soul your something else.
Your mother hums. You see her hands fiddle with her sleeve. "What you originaly are is something that is exstent. Many at one time called us the chosen, the Ancients and many many names."
the Ancients. "Theres a Woman Lady Jade she has an order know as the Ancients is that the same."
You see her face scrunch up. And touch her jaw like a reflex. "No." she says with venom. "That doll was made to protect earth. Just like many oher groups on other worlds. They can chose their names and normally have a single deity. Lady Jade was it. Hers is the Moon godess and shes quite busy dealing with her two soulmates." she laughs as she finishes. "Shes also the one you served before."
"So I am devora." a that she smiles and shurgs. "I belive a women at the mrls told you its not time yet. But if you belive your devora thats up to you. "
"You say it like I might not be your child."
"Prehapes $name. But thers a lot you have to decide befor you understand what you are." she smiles "Next question." her tone comes off pleading.
<<include DialogLoop3>>This seems to affect her the most. "Somewhere very far away but close." she takes a ragged breath. "Im not allowed to do certain things and espically with you."
"What do you mean espically with you."
"The last 3 of your livf times I made a deal with you to not interfer. And in your last we were on oppisent sides. Till you turned and saved me and my temples."
Shes distraciong you from the topic but youll bit. "I was on the other side." She nods. "Not by chose mind you. Another godess. They or she. She splited her self in two bodies. One more viloent and cruel the other well say that half was the better half. But she is not something to be taken liky"
"Ive had nightmars with her. She did things." you stop as it hurts to talk about it. "Whats her name." She shakes her head. "That is something I wont awner as that will just empor her and for her to find you again."
"Shes obseeved with me." she nods sloly. "Shes not the only one. You had three others as well. Two who you never really interatect with but they stayed back. The other well you said some words to them. You never allowed one to touch your heart but that didnt stop envy if you showed another attention or if you stayed with a mortal for a peird of time."
You sounded like an asshole. "I dont get why would I do that."
She laughs. "You were a warrior and I never judge you activates. I belive the main reson why is you were regected in one of your early life times. Your Mate as what they called iy then rejected you and it nearly killed you."
Youh sigh. Were you a good person than.
<<include DialogLoop3>>She supresss a laugh. "No. You never had a farther. If what your try to ask is did you have a birth family on earth than yes. your body did come from someone."
You grumble. "Thats all Im getting."
"Yes. I know your angrey. But your mind is fractured as it is. If I just allowed the knowedg in you. Well you can become like the Godess of Madness and thank the light she has her own world." She laughs "As I said in time you will know everything."
<<include DialogLoop3>>"Yes and No."
You sigh. "Let me guess yes you do know and no you cant tell me."
She grins gulity. "look If i say anything it will take away from it trust me."
"Can I die as a result of it."
"Yes." and with that awnser you change the subject.
<<include DialogLoop3>>"No." she uses her direct tone. "That is someone else. She is important. As I said earlier when the descion comes you will talk to her. maybe in a way another you has alrady met her. After all i feel your $defect is hesling quite rabidly."
"My $defect."
"Thats good right. You wanted it to be healed." you turn away now. You havent thought about it. "How is it healing." she smiles knoingly. "Come on the Alatian princess. She healed you in the ally." Ally what ally. She see your panick. "Oh, look your fine they have you in a bed." You grab your mother. "Wher is Attina." She shakes her head "no one knows. They are looking for her."
"I was only able to see you because of near death." She nods. Than that means the inner you wanted you to come. Why so you could get the run around. To see this. Or was it something else your missing. "I need to go back" you say in a calm steady voice. Your mother smiles sadly "I know." She touchs your face. "You always grow up so fast. But there is a time for everything." she reluntly lets go. She waves a hand at the door.
You move to the door but freeze. "Will i rember this or will it be like a dream of nothing."
You see a tear prick her eye. "You will rember when the time is right my-."

Toxicant lets out a paind pericing scream. She reaches for her chest and fals over. Toxicant is on her hands and knees. Her breathing is heavy. When she looks up her gaze is no longer there as if she isnt herself. She screams and lounges at you.

You dont not what makes you feel that it is important but you place the prism down. as it leaves your hand it shoots to her and she catches it. As she holds it close you see an opening. You leap but are halted when you see her face. It takes a more human shape. But she smiles at you.
"You are the word of kind." She stpes towards you. "The man who had this is evil. But I have what I wanted." You see an acid pool around her.
She looks back at you. and frowns. You foolow her eye sight. You see a wound where she got you. "I apoligze for hurting you. My your gods save you."
You fall down. You start spitting up blood. "If you survive Know this you have a friend in the hell world." With her last words she disappears.
You see Atlas and jenny running towards you.
You havnt felt this pain since since that day.
Your body goes slaighnt.

"Get up" you hear a voice spit out with vinem.
You try to move but fall. "God I cant belive this." You hear heavy boots march to you. You are than lifted and dragged. Your eyes blink the binded light as you see the dark corador. Armed men are lined down the hallways. You catch a glims of a few people who are wearing collors and even full masks. They are beaten and brused.
You are than carred into a room. A metal chair is in the center. A few people in lab coats are around. "Doctor got your subject."
You see a Man walk from a group of people. He has a smile as he sees you. "Exclient place the prisinor on the chair."
You are placed on the cold chair. You are than strapped in. Binds on your wrist and upper arms. Binds are than secure on legs and your ankles. You struggle in response. But than another bind goes around your neck.
A nurse walks over to you and begain doing checks. "Doctor subject is ready." The doctor just nods.
"Alright begain in 3..2..1.. Start." You than hear the char begain to operate. You feel the area behind your spine. You than feel the needles go into your spine. It doesnt not enter slowly no it jams into your spine.
You arch your body up. Or try to but the binds hold you still. You scream in pain. Tears flow freely down your face. You than taste bood.
You hear a heart rate monater going off. "Stop it. Stop the experiment NOW." You start to pass out. You than see a tube it has your blood and another tube of a gold liqued. You close your eyes when you cant hold your eyes open anymore.

"Get away get away from you monster." a pericing scream
The man ignors her as he grabs her neck and throw her on the metal slab.
"You think your so important that this would never happen to you right." the man grin is to sharp. "Im going to enjoy cutting you up."
The bone saw gets turned on and the glint of the many knife.
"A pitty you didnt last long." He throws an arm in the catanor.

"Hes back." Lisa voice interuptes the meeting. You look at Becca face darken . Helena breath hitches.
"Not possible I killed him myself." Vanessa speakes with certanity.
Helena lets out a sarcastic laugh. "He changed his motive so you wouldnt know." Helena storms out.

"Leave me alone Raven." she shove you back in the wall. "Not until you admit it. Admit what you did."
You snarl "That Im a fucking monster. How about you." You shove her off you.
"I guess ill get through one way or another." Raven sighs as she gets in a fighting stance.

"Have you ever just wanted the world to just burn $name."
You look at the dead body and than him.
"Sometimes. Why"
He smiles or you think he does as he relaxes his body.
"It means your not as Naive as i thought."

"Wait You and the Princess were." Lena questions
"Yep" you respond as you dive faster.
"Im guess you guy didnt label it." Scott questions.

Rune jumps down and go towards the hostages. You look for the first patrol or gurds. You see three walking down the narrow path. You drop down on one of the crats so you still have the advatage. You move close behind one and wrap your arms in a chokehold and snap his neck. Before he can drop you grab his pistol. You shoot both in the back of the head. The one on the right just falls forward. The other stumbles to the left into a crate. He tries to hold himself up. He turns to you and you see the fear in his eyes. You raise the gun and shoot him again. You throw the gun on the ground and move forward.
You pass the first hostage. Rune took down the two gurds. You look at eachother. Rune than jumps back up the metal beams. You head further down and you hear movement. You duck into the opening on your left. A Merc stops a few feet before the opening. The woman starts talking on a comm. You would gander that she is checking in. You crouch and wait. She checks off and strts to run. You put your leg out. This causes her to trip. As she hist the ground. You prouncs on her back. You grab her jaw and twist hard. You hear the snap of the neck and leave her their.
You than hear a roar. You know better than to just stand there. You start to climb on top of the crats and jump on the beam. Youu dont miss the sight of a huge man going through the crates. His body is that of a bear. He looks down at the body you just took down. Bear raises his snout and sniffs the air. "I can smell you. Can smell your scent. And its so podent. The darkness rating off you."
You tilt your head in confusion on his laugh words. You notice the other mercs move the hostages in a single room. Rune is heading that way and taking them down as she goes. You get your $weapon ready.
(Just a place holder)
You slide out two of your knifs. Your grip is very tight on your blades. You look at your options and decide to do something very riskey. You jump down and slice his legs. As soon as your blads connect you run into the pathway. You hear him grunt and growl. You leap up onto the beams again and wait. He gets erratated but you notice he takes a calming breathe. He wont be easy to push. You throw a knif to distract him. As it dours past him you move to another beam. His eyes follow to where you threw from. You use this chance to get behind him and cut into his calfs. He falls you than cut into his back. As the blade cuts through you hear the flesh and muscle tear. But you also hear the strain of the blade. You grin and break off the blade in his back. Hi growls. "You bastard." He grabs you before you can move away. You dont react like a normal person. You grab anther knif and cut his wrist. He lets go and you fall to the ground. You roll backwards and go into the shadows. "Im going to enjoy tearing you limb from limb." As you get into another pathway you see objects getting thrown a few go throw the crates. You than see ligued leak from a few crates. You step over the liqued. An idea crosses your mind. "Hey Big Guy. OVER HERE." you start to run. You hear him running. Thump Thump You get into place and see him running. Bear doesnt see the liquid and steps and slides. He grunts as he falls.
You think he is knocked out. You get closer And lightly kick his foot. Rene comes around the corner and sees him down. "Impressive. Not many can take down a monster like him down." She than.
You hear a growl. You turn just in time and dodge Bear swing. You kick his ribs. He uses his weight to grab you. He hoist you up. He smirks "You are a Monster. Wow I havnt smelled someone like you since I meet the others. Im going to enjoy ripping you apart." He balls his hand into a fist and start hit your stomach.
The first punch breaks yours ribs. The second punch Causes internalbleeding. The third punch you cant feel your legs anymore. Your grp on his hands are weak. Your breathung is shallow. You closes your eyes and he drops you. "Pathetic." You see him raise his foot.
Your are to hurt to even move. Before he can do it he is shoved out of the way. You feel the bitter taste of iron in your mouth. Your vision darkens. You hear shouting and the feeling that you are being lifted before you feel nothing.
[[Bear confratation]] <<set $cruel to 45>>\
Rune nods and heads towards the mercs. You see a hostage tied in a chair. The chair is held in a way by a rope to fall in the tar pit. You get closer and see the two of the mercs just sitting on crates.
The hostage is gaged and trying not move to much. You get right above the the two. And wait. You have 4 people to get to. You hear a lound noise that sounds like metal droping.
The two mercs look at one another. They both get up and head towards the sound. You drop down and head to the hostage. When you get closer you see that the man has server brusies. He looks at you and starts to move.
You try tocalm him but know it wont appease him. You examine the chair. The rope Is tight and movement beside the hostage will drop him into the tar like a bag of bricks. You sigh well this could go bad.
You walk to where the Mercs where sitting. You grab the blade on the crate. You walk back and slash than grab the man and throw him on the ground. The chair falls into the tar.
The hostages starts to move but you grab them to stop. You than dont hear the screams anymore. Crates start getting destoryed. "I can smell you. I can smell the darkness emminating off you." The hostage eyes widen. You start to keep an ear for him but the Hostage doesnt stay still. The man starts to run. He gets to the opening and turns to the right. You reach out than- smash. The hostage is oblirated by a metal avail.
You fall backwards on instinct. You move back behind the crate. "I wasnt talking about the hostage. If I find you Ill rip you apart. A shadow catches you eye. You barly hear the next words. "Focus onn the hostages Ill distracet him."
You see a glint of blue. Multiple gunshots start going off. The movement that was coming towards you goes in the other direction. You get back up to the beams.
You see the three remaining hostages. They moved them to a locked rooom in the back. You see that Rune fightig Bear. Bear His tall but Rune matches him in speed. He throws her towards a wall. But Rene pushes herself off the wall towards a few mercs and uses a spell to toss the mercs towards Bear. Bear hits them away from him causing them to die.
You head to the back. There is multiple Mercs in your way but Rene is going through them as well as dealing with Bear. You get to door without the Mercs seeing you as they are preoccuipiced shooting Rene or trying to atleast.
As you open the door you see two woman and a man bound by metal chains. You look around at the cabnets and the desk. You see a glint on the desk. You go to it and reach for the keys. Before you touch them you are than grabed and thrown backwards.
You hit the ground and barly move intime when a sword swings past your head. Hitting the ground with a burning sound. You come face to face with a black reflective mask. It earrily lookes like the one you wore. But what suprises you is the person backs away from you. Their chest rises and falls faster. You get up they draw a pistal to keep you away. "Tratior." Their voice is gruugled but you understand the one word. They look at the window and shoot it and jump out. You dont miss the symbol on their shoulder. A fan with a red moon on it.
The gun fire stoped. You look at the hostages than back towards the door. You walk outside. As you open the door your met with the mercs everywhere. Rune is sitting on the floor. You rush to her side. "What happen where is he."
Rune looks down and takes a deep breath. "Dissappear. He still around I can sense Him." You walk to Rune as you get closer the double doors on the farside swing open. Bear storms in with men in full tactical gear. Rune starts to stand and move towards Bear. You notice her tired steps.
You grab her forearm. At your touch she flinchs and snaps her head to you. "Ill handle Bear this time. You deal with his men." Rune about to speak but she sighs and nods. Rune moves a few steps away from you. Her steps are heavy as she brings her sword up you see it shifts nto two daggers. "Ill clear themm as fast as I can and will help you."

You see a fire exstugenter and roll in the direction and scoop it up. As he gets free you start to shooting out the foam. You hear him grunt and scream. "You bitch."

You start to grawl towards the wall in front of you. Your body feels sluggish and hard to move. "So you ot n words that sad. Might as well get your final words out." As you get a hand on the wall you turn to see Griffin staring at you disappointed. "I expected better from the Instructor ive heard so much about. Im not susposed to kill you but what the boss doesnt know want to hurt him." You wipe the blood of your mouth. "You ever been told you talk to much." that gets a laugh out of him. "Yes the peole that normally about to die." He pulls out a straight razor knife. He starts to move to you. You look at the sink besode you and see that the wall fell in it and it became plastor like. You scuoop it up and throw it at his face when Griffen is a few feet from you. After it hits his eyes he flinches. "Dammient." He start to swipe the knife. You dodge the blade and nearly get hit but your just fast enough to dodge it. "You fucking- My eyes burn ill crave yours out while your alive."
Before you can grab your weopan Becca comes running through the opening in the wall. "Hey dumbass youll have to go through me first." Becca uses her body and crush him into the wall. She start wailing on him she is angrey and it shows. He manages to throw her off towards you. You and Becca fall on the ground."This is worth me dieing." he limps over to the wall. "See you next time $alias and Dream." He doesnt get far before oth you and Becca are both going after him.
As you get back to the main area you see him at the edge of the room. You start to run after him as you reach for your grapple gun and shoot him to hold him down. But befroe you can touch it you hear a gun shot goes off.

Your attention turns to Becca. Her mask is disregraded on the ground. She is covered in your blood. She is holding the wound. She taps something on the device on her wrist. You cant focuse on her words to much but you hear "I need help."

You both manage to take down half down. You did not let them live as you let them fall. Any weapon on hand you immaditally used and killed them.

<<if $weapon is "Knife set" >>
You hold your knifes in a backhanded stance. You just cut through them. Blood gets everywher but you don focuse on that. You smell the thick pudgent smell of iron in the air. And to say you are covered in blood is an understatement.
You cut arms. You even cut their necks and blood gushes out. You stand in the middle of servel dead Mercs. You look over at Becca and see her standing on her on.
Golden Tiger jumps of the stage and his smile is visable under her tiger mask. "That is wonder ful. The carnage the killing with out remorse. Your no hero no you the fox in the hen house and they dont know it yet."
Your grip tightens on the knifs. "And how many have you killed. You taught back." He breaths out a laugh and set the shotgun down in the process. "That my friend is not important but it was always bad people like you do."
he grabs a large knife of the stage and you notice it is burning almost. "Like my trick" He notice you stared at it. "A friend created this for me. It activates on touch and Im looking foraward to useing it."
You both rash at each other. You swing he deflets. you kick and he blocks. He is faster with his reflexes. He starts swinging faster. This causes you to stumble back. You watch as the blades create sparkes. You blade slowly melts away. You get an idea. As he pushes you you take the blade and slig the metal at him.
It hits an opening in his armor. You use this second of pain and throw two knifs at his feet. He dodges one put you rush him and cause him to fall on the ground. His knife gets away from him. You pull one of you blades laced with posin and knick him.
But you take your free hand and hit his face. Causing his mask to break. Your meet with silver eyes. Blood is around his mouth and nose. There are visible brusies on his face.
He manages to speak before you knock him out.
"Alright." You stop. at his word. "You can have the hostages." You get off him and he rolls over. He grunts in seriouse pain.
You look over and see Becca come over and watch Tommy. "Go Ill watch him." she looks him over. They start talking as you undo the binds.
<<elseif $weapon is "Dart gun and darts" >>
You pull out your dart gun an start firing and throwing free darts. Many drop very fast. Others gurgle up blood and start seizing.
You see a few mercs cut and run. Becca lets out a dark chuckle that cause you to look at her. She does not look at you and starts fighting her side.
You hear servel shotgun rounds go off hitting thhose runners. You notice it is buck shot. They never had a chance. You ignor those cries and focuse on the few that are left in front of you. As the las one drops his skin turn to ligued and you hear a gurlging scream into nothingness.
Tommy huffs in annoyance at you. "That just cheating. You are one sick fucker to have half that shit."he grabs a large knife of the stage and you notice it is burning almost. "Like my trick" He notice you stared at it. "A friend created this for me. It activates on touch and Im looking foraward to useing it."
He rushes at you. You fire a few darts off but he manage to deflet them and dodge. You end up in hand to hand combact. You try to beat him but he is to fast. He starts to hit your chest causeing you to fly back. You land on one of the bodies. You stand but end up with blood on your hand and on your legs.
You dont realise how close he is till you hear the blood is being stopmed on the ground. When you look up you see a foot but it doesnt connect. Instead its becca bodie. You use that momatary distraction and shoot him in th chest than in the leg. Its not your most potent dose so he should just fall down.
Becca stabds and slams her fist in his stomach and he filies on the stage. She turns to you. "Go handle the hostages ill deal with him."
<<elseif $weapon is "Baton" >>
You sling out two batons and turn on the elctric setting. That makes a few stop a second. Others just rush you. You hit weak points making them fall.
It is entertaning as their bodies still shake. You even smell the burning of flesh. You get in a frenzy just stricking as hard as you can. You feel your muscles taungt and straing with the force you causeing.
You hear the bones shatter as you hit them. A few who live lay on the ground breathing heavy. You know they wont survive long as they will have internal bleeding.
One of the bigger guys grabs you. He houstes you in the air. You swing both batons into is skull. As it connects his teeth and face smashes into it self. His body start to shake from the current.
You are dropped on the ground and stand up not winded. Tommy on the stage just smiles. You didnt notice till now but he is clapping his hands. "Now that is a warrior. I havnt meet someone like you in a while."
he grabs a large knife of the stage and you notice it is burning almost. "Like my trick" He notice you stared at it. "A friend created this for me. It activates on touch and Im looking foraward to useing it."
He huffs as he gets ready. "You remind me of an old friend and in this line of work your bound to meet her eventually." He comes at you.
But you just drop to the ground and knock his feet from under him. As he falls you hit a few spots. But you cant get where you want as he blockes.
You see a glow of his eyes. You realase he is using his ablitys. You are in mind swing but he takes the knife and slices it in half.
He laughs in victory but thats what you wanted. You Than direct it at him like a gun. An elctric charge shoots out at him.
His laugh dies in his throught. The blast shoots him across the stage. You hear a pained groaned. He Just lifts the blade up and stabs it into the stage. "Nope. Im done." Becca walks over to you and sees your alright. She sighs as she heads to him. "Get the hostages Ill get him tied up."

While Becca has Tommy undercountrol. You undo the bindings. As soo as you undo the last one. You hear the pump of the gun. You look up and have no time to react. Tommy pulls the trigger. Your in point blank range. BANG!!
You go flying. Becca face is horridfide. She yells. you dont hear what she says. All you can focuse on is your stomach. You try to cover tthe wounds. But your arms are to weak. You then see becca. Her face is covered in blood. Yours maybe or was it Tommys.
You rech up to wipe it away. Becca flinches but stops. "Youll be ok. I contacted an old friend." you try to speak but it comes out as a pained breath. You need to know if she killed him. Becca looks at you and shakes her head. "Hes alive if thats what your thinking. Hes just out and restranied." Suddenly you see a huge transpot ship land. Servel White Knights run out with guns. Two run towards you with lighter armor and a cross symobol on their chest. Becaa lifts you up and places you on the strecter. "Dont take $their mask off. Or Ill gut you like a pig." The soldiers just nod their assent. As you pass out you still see her hand on you. tring to keep you staeady. No shes shaking.

Becca usees her claws she has on her hand. She is just as relantless as well. You just hear Golden tiger laugh and laugh he does.
<<nobr>>
<<if $weapon is "Knife set" >>
You hold your knifes in a backhanded stance. You just cut through them. Blood gets everywher but you don focuse on that. You smell the thick pudgent smell of iron in the air. And to say you are covered in blood is an understatement.
You cut arms. You even cut their necks and blood gushes out. You stand in the middle of servel dead Mercs. You look over at Becca and see her standing on her on.
Golden Tiger jumps of the stage and his smile is visable under her tiger mask. "That is wonder ful. The carnage the killing with out remorse. Your no hero no you the fox in the hen house and they dont know it yet."
Your grip tightens on the knifs. "And how many have you killed. You taught back." He breaths out a laugh and set the shotgun down in the process. "That my friend is not important but it was always bad people like you do."
he grabs a large knife of the stage and you notice it is burning almost. "Like my trick" He notice you stared at it. "A friend created this for me. It activates on touch and Im looking foraward to useing it."
You both rash at each other. You swing he deflets. you kick and he blocks. He is faster with his reflexes. He starts swinging faster. This causes you to stumble back. You watch as the blades create sparkes. You blade slowly melts away. You get an idea. As he pushes you you take the blade and slig the metal at him.
It hits an opening in his armor. You use this second of pain and throw two knifs at his feet. He dodges one put you rush him and cause him to fall on the ground. His knife gets away from him. You pull one of you blades laced with posin and knick him.
But you take your free hand and hit his face. Causing his mask to break. Your meet with silver eyes. Blood is around his mouth and nose. There are visible brusies on his face.
He manages to speak before you knock him out.
"Alright." You stop. at his word. "You can have the hostages." You get off him and he rolls over. He grunts in seriouse pain.
You look over and see Becca come over and watch Tommy. "Go Ill watch him." she looks him over. They start talking as you undo the binds.
<<elseif $weapon is "Dart gun and darts" >>
You pull out your dart gun an start firing and throwing free darts. Many drop very fast. Others gurgle up blood and start seizing.
You see a few mercs cut and run. Becca lets out a dark chuckle that cause you to look at her. She does not look at you and starts fighting her side.
You hear servel shotgun rounds go off hitting thhose runners. You notice it is buck shot. They never had a chance. You ignor those cries and focuse on the few that are left in front of you. As the las one drops his skin turn to ligued and you hear a gurlging scream into nothingness.
Tommy huffs in annoyance at you. "That just cheating. You are one sick fucker to have half that shit."he grabs a large knife of the stage and you notice it is burning almost. "Like my trick" He notice you stared at it. "A friend created this for me. It activates on touch and Im looking foraward to useing it."
He rushes at you. You fire a few darts off but he manage to deflet them and dodge. You end up in hand to hand combact. You try to beat him but he is to fast. He starts to hit your chest causeing you to fly back. You land on one of the bodies. You stand but end up with blood on your hand and on your legs.
You dont realise how close he is till you hear the blood is being stopmed on the ground. When you look up you see a foot but it doesnt connect. Instead its becca bodie. You use that momatary distraction and shoot him in th chest than in the leg. Its not your most potent dose so he should just fall down.
Becca stabds and slams her fist in his stomach and he filies on the stage. She turns to you. "Go handle the hostages ill deal with him."
<<elseif $weapon is "Baton" >>
You sling out two batons and turn on the elctric setting. That makes a few stop a second. Others just rush you. You hit weak points making them fall.
It is entertaning as their bodies still shake. You even smell the burning of flesh. You get in a frenzy just stricking as hard as you can. You feel your muscles taungt and straing with the force you causeing.
You hear the bones shatter as you hit them. A few who live lay on the ground breathing heavy. You know they wont survive long as they will have internal bleeding.
One of the bigger guys grabs you. He houstes you in the air. You swing both batons into is skull. As it connects his teeth and face smashes into it self. His body start to shake from the current.
You are dropped on the ground and stand up not winded. Tommy on the stage just smiles. You didnt notice till now but he is clapping his hands. "Now that is a warrior. I havnt meet someone like you in a while."
he grabs a large knife of the stage and you notice it is burning almost. "Like my trick" He notice you stared at it. "A friend created this for me. It activates on touch and Im looking foraward to useing it."
He huffs as he gets ready. "You remind me of an old friend and in this line of work your bound to meet her eventually." He comes at you.
But you just drop to the ground and knock his feet from under him. As he falls you hit a few spots. But you cant get where you want as he blockes.
You see a glow of his eyes. You realase he is using his ablitys. You are in mind swing but he takes the knife and slices it in half.
He laughs in victory but thats what you wanted. You Than direct it at him like a gun. An elctric charge shoots out at him.
His laugh dies in his throught. The blast shoots him across the stage. You hear a pained groaned. He Just lifts the blade up and stabs it into the stage. "Nope. Im done." Becca walks over to you and sees your alright. She sighs as she heads to him. "Get the hostages Ill get him tied up."
<</if>><</nobr>>
While Becca has Tommy undercountrol. You undo the bindings. As soo as you undo the last one. You hear the pump of the gun. You look up and have no time to react. Tommy pulls the trigger. Your in point blank range. BANG!!
You go flying. Becca face is horridfide. She yells. you dont hear what she says. All you can focuse on is your stomach. You try to cover tthe wounds. But your arms are to weak. You then see becca. Her face is covered in blood. Yours maybe or was it Tommys.
You rech up to wipe it away. Becca flinches but stops. "Youll be ok. I contacted an old friend." you try to speak but it comes out as a pained breath. You need to know if she killed him. Becca looks at you and shakes her head. "Hes alive if thats what your thinking. Hes just out and restranied." Suddenly you see a huge transpot ship land. Servel White Knights run out with guns. Two run towards you with lighter armor and a cross symobol on their chest. Becaa lifts you up and places you on the strecter. "Dont take $their mask off. Or Ill gut you like a pig." The soldiers just nod their assent. As you pass out you still see her hand on you. tring to keep you staeady. No shes shaking.
[[two hours later]] <<set $cruel to 45>>\
Rene nods and heads towards the mercs. You see a hostage tied in a chair. The chair is held in a way by a rope to fall in the tar pit. You get closer and see the two of the mercs just sitting on crates.
The hostage is gaged and trying not move to much. You get right above the the two. And wait. You have 4 people to get to. You hear a lound noise that sounds like metal droping.
The two mercs look at one another. They both get up and head towards the sound. You drop down and head to the hostage. When you get closer you see that the man has server brusies. He looks at you and starts to move.
You try tocalm him but know it wont appease him. You examine the chair. The rope Is tight and movement beside the hostage will drop him into the tar like a bag of bricks. You sigh well this could go bad.
You walk to where the Mercs where sitting. You grab the blade on the crate. You walk back and slash than grab the man and throw him on the ground. The chair falls into the tar.
The hostages starts to move but you grab them to stop. You than dont hear the screams anymore. Crates start getting destoryed. "I can smell you. I can smell the darkness emminating off you." The hostage eyes widen. You start to keep an ear for him but the Hostage doesnt stay still. The man starts to run. He gets to the opening and turns to the right. You reach out than- smash. The hostage is oblirated by a metal avail.
You fall backwards on instinct. You move back behind the crate. "I wasnt talking about the hostage. If I find you Ill rip you apart. A shadow catches you eye. You barly hear the next words. "Focus onn the hostages Ill distracet him."
You see a glint of blue. Multiple gunshots start going off. The movement that was coming towards you goes in the other direction. You get back up to the beams.
You see the three remaining hostages. They moved them to a locked rooom in the back. You see that Rene fightig Bear. Bear His tall but Rene matches him in height and as his strength. He throws her towards a wall. But Rene just teleports and tosses the mercs towards Bear. Bear hits them away from him causing them to die.
You head to the back. There is multiple Mercs in your way but Rene is going through them as well as dealing with Bear. You get to door without the Mercs seeing you as they are preoccuipiced shooting Rene or trying to atleast.
As you open the door you see two woman and a man bound by metal chains. You look around at the cabnets and the desk. You see a glint on the desk. You go to it and reach for the keys. Before you touch them you are than grabed and thrown backwards.
You hit the ground and barly move intime when a sword swings past your head. Hitting the ground with a burning sound. You come face to face with a black reflective mask. It earrily lookes like the one you wore. But what suprises you is the person backs away from you. Their chest rises and falls faster. You get up they draw a pistal to keep you away. "Tratior." Their voice is gruugled but you understand the one word. They look at the window and shoot it and jump out. You dont miss the symbol on their shoulder. A fan with a red moon on it.
The gun fire stoped. You look at the hostages than back towards the door. You walk outside. As you open the door your met with the mercs everywhere. Rene is using her sword to hold herselfup. You rush to her side. "What happen where is he."
Rene looks down and takes a deep breath. "Dissappear. He still around I can feel Him." You walk to Rene as you get closer the double doors on the farside swing open. Bear storms in with men in full tactical gear. Rene starts to go towards Bear.
You grab her forearm. At your touch she flinchs and snaps her head to you. "Ill handle Bear this time. You deal with his men." Rene about to speak but she sighs and nods. Rene moves a few steps away from you. Her steps are heavy as she brings her sword up you see it shifts nto a halbair. "Ill clear themm as fast as I can and will help you."
[[Bear confratation]] <<set $cruel to 65>>\
Rene jumps down and go towards the hostages. You look for the first patrol or gurds. You see three walking down the narrow path. You drop down on one of the crats so you still have the advatage. You move close behind one and wrap your arms in a chokehold and snap his neck. Before he can drop you grab his pistol. You shoot both in the back of the head. The one on the right just falls forward. The other stumbles to the left into a crate. He tries to hold himself up. He turns to you and you see the fear in his eyes. You raise the gun and shoot him again. You throw the gun on the ground and move forward.
You pass the first hostage. Rune took down the two gurds. You look at eachother. Rune than jumps back up the metal beams. You head further down and you hear movement. You duck into the opening on your left. A Merc stops a few feet before the opening. The woman starts talking on a comm. You would gander that she is checking in. You crouch and wait. She checks off and strts to run. You put your leg out. This causes her to trip. As she hist the ground. You prouncs on her back. You grab her jaw and twist hard. You hear the snap of the neck and leave her their.
You than hear a roar. You know better than to just stand there. You start to climb on top of the crats and jump on the beam. Youu dont miss the sight of a huge man going through the crates. His body is that of a bear. He looks down at the body you just took down. Bear raises his snout and sniffs the air. "I can smell you. Can smell your scent. And its so podent. The darkness rating off you."
You tilt your head in confusion on his laugh words. You notice the other mercs move the hostages in a single room. Rune is heading that way and taking them down as she goes. You get your $weapon ready.
(Just a place holder)
You slide out two of your knifs. Your grip is very tight on your blades. You look at your options and decide to do something very riskey. You jump down and slice his legs. As soon as your blads connect you run into the pathway. You hear him grunt and growl. You leap up onto the beams again and wait. He gets erratated but you notice he takes a calming breathe. He wont be easy to push. You throw a knif to distract him. As it dours past him you move to another beam. His eyes follow to where you threw from. You use this chance to get behind him and cut into his calfs. He falls you than cut into his back. As the blade cuts through you hear the flesh and muscle tear. But you also hear the strain of the blade. You grin and break off the blade in his back. Hi growls. "You bastard." He grabs you before you can move away. You dont react like a normal person. You grab anther knif and cut his wrist. He lets go and you fall to the ground. You roll backwards and go into the shadows. "Im going to enjoy tearing you limb from limb." As you get into another pathway you see objects getting thrown a few go throw the crates. You than see ligued leak from a few crates. You step over the liqued. An idea crosses your mind. "Hey Big Guy. OVER HERE." you start to run. You hear him running. Thump Thump You get into place and see him running. Bear doesnt see the liquid and steps and slides. He grunts as he falls.
You think he is knocked out. You get closer And lightly kick his foot. Rene comes around the corner and sees him down. "Impressive. Not many can take down a monster like him down." She than.
You hear a growl. You turn just in time and dodge Bear swing. You kick his ribs. He uses his weight to grab you. He hoist you up. He smirks "You are a Monster. Wow I havnt smelled someone like you since I meet the others. Im going to enjoy ripping you apart." He balls his hand into a fist and start hit your stomach.
The first punch breaks yours ribs. The second punch Causes internalbleeding. The third punch you cant feel your legs anymore. Your grp on his hands are weak. Your breathung is shallow. You closes your eyes and he drops you. "Pathetic." You see him raise his foot.
Your are to hurt to even move. Before he can do it he is shoved out of the way. You feel the bitter taste of iron in your mouth. Your vision darkens. You hear shouting and the feeling that you are being lifted before you feel nothing.

You look at Becca. Becca scoffs. "Really. Alright but were going after Golden Tiger." You nod. You both move through the streets. You then hear a rocketloncher go off. You watch it hit a vechile and blow it up. You almost run towards it but becca grabs you. "Dont be an Idiot." You snah your arm away. "There could be some there," Becca shakes her head. "No all the civlians would have left especially during this." You look around and see shes right. You see law enfoenment down and many Apoloo Knights dead. You see some memebers of the mare cutters double check the bodys. "What do you want do Becca?" Becca looks at you. "Why? cant come up with your own plan?" You ignore her glare "Look I know you hate me but can you put it aside till later." Becca smiles and and it trns sharp. "Well how bout I just walk my ass out there and yell shoot me shoot me and see what happens. And you can save my Ass." Becca walks in the middle of the road. Your not sure weather she just flirted with you or she was just being sarcastic. Shes alway been complactated. You sigh you see servel mercs surround her. You sprint and take down two. You use there gun to knock them out byt the llast ones abit to get you when Becca jumps and stabbs him.
"Dont worry hes just going st be asleep." You both start to head to the street. You see serveral Mercs and in the Middle see the Golden Tiger. He is holding a shotgun at a group of hostages. All are male. As you get closes. Becca notice somthing. "As long as we dont use powers he wont kill them." You look at her "How do you know?" Becca hits a button on her belt and her suit becomes more armow like. "I fought him once. His sister worse. She was complacated." You wonder what she means by that. Before you can ask Golden Tiger shouts "Holy shit is that Becca. The Becca Winter. Man Sis would want to see you." Becca grones. He looks at you. "Well hello there. And who might you be. Oh what dont tell me you two are daiting. Ah Becca sis will be hurt." Becca shouts "Tommy!!" That gets his attention. "Ok, Ok, sorry Becca you know the rules you beat my guys no powers then no one gets hurt then you fight me. Oh and my boys cant use theres either. Or Ill shoot you to hell." Becca looks to the right and you guess you take the left. "You guys ready." Golden Tiger shouts. You and Becca nod. He points his shotgun and fires at the Merc beside him. The man goes flying off the platform. The other Merc charge at both of you.

.....
"Why do it." a womans voice askes
"I dont understand." your shrouded in darkness.
The woan laughs but you feel a coldness washover you. "I guess your not ready yet."
You feel powerless. "For what." you lingure
A skelten hands touches you gently as if you are made of glass. "When you remember you will know. I will ask my question when you remember. Until than know this your path is not decided yet. And only one will lead you to yor old self. One will lead you to a new version of yourself. This one is the most dangerous. This can lead to death or even greatness. Ofcourse there are always more paths more than I can see. As you are different this time. As your fate is not sealed yet."
You than see the woman you called a friend once. Death. Her cold hands cup your face but you feel warmth . "I cant aloow you to know more but Know this I wont claim your soul prematurally. But you have some painfull trails ahead My friend."
You see her eyes glow a bright gold. "Rest my old friend." Death begains singing a calming lullbye
