Heroes Uprising Thread 4

"David nodded he wanted to get better, but his power just seemed so strong, plus it was somewhat different then his mother's so he knew that much but still if anyone could help her in psionic matters it was her."

David: You're right, I gotta get better, but sometimes you just get so curious you wanna see what people are really thinking, plus a lot of people say one thing and think another..sometimes not reading minds is like willingly accepting someone lying to you.

"on the other hand he knew Justin ha da point, so he had to find healthy balance, but the question is when your a 14 year old telepath raised in Hell knowing the darkest parts of people what was that balance."
.........
Collin: Yeah this is it alright, all the answers are here.

"Collin kicked the door open ,and cast a spell seeing traps in the room, then causing them all to activate before coming in the room with Abby and heading to the main computer, taking out a flash drive Felicia had imbued with magic and put it in the computer, and information began rushing from the computer into the drive, going through files until it got to some forbidden ones that he began going through and his eyes widened."

Collin: Oh my god..this is it...that's what I am.

"Collin saw on the screen the same image of what he looked like transformed, and the computer began dragging in the information, but suddenly even more alarms began blaring, and more people seemed to be away, no idea that the file alerted all PDF agents that whatever creature he was, was back. As he was about to log off he noticed something in the corner of his eyes, the classification...Extinct."

Collin: They killed me...I'm one of the last...I..

"A blast tore through and nearly hit him and Abby as he almost transformed feeling rage, sure this form was dangerous, but wiping it completely out? This angered him, but maybe he'd find information, maybe his people committed some grave crime, or more likely he was more like mutants then the thought, in that an irrational fear had hurt his people, except in his case it had damn near wiped them out. He got up pocketing the dream, now angered."

Collin: I've got all the info, no time to read it here let's meet up with the clone and ge to the gateway!
..............
Dave: Oh okay, not all of us have amazing ice and water powers like you, but good job that was pretty awesome.

"Dave teleported over to the people in the car who'd skidded off the road and hit a street pole leading to the quarter having almost caught up with them."

Dave: Hey
Woman: PLEASE PLEASE! IT's my husbands fault, the bastard he's the one that listened to her he's
Husband: YOU LYING WHORE! You wanted money too
Woman: What did you just call me you!!
Dave: HEY HEY HEY! Break it up, who the hell is "she", look I don't care about your marriage problems, shit you think you have problems, you haven't met my wife, WE have problems, if a giant quarter trying to eat me was my only problem I'd be happy, hell I'd be fucking joyful so just slow your ass down and tell me what's going on
Guy: HEY YOU MUTANT FUCK!!! I HELPED CONSTRUCT THESE ROADS AND YOUR FuCKING THEM UP GO THE HELL HOME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!

"A guy a construction worker upset about what Katy did to the road grabbed a brick and tossed it at her, while some of his other friends started yelling and cussing at her with mutant slurs. "GO HOME MUTIE GO HOME MUTIE" "TAKE YER ASS OUTTA AMERICA" Another woman yelled while some spit at her, it was obvious they didn't want her or any mutants in sacramento."

Tyrone hugged Adrian back hard but was so very confused. "I...your supposed to be dead! I just...welcome back man!" he was very willing to ignore a lot of things at this point. Someone he considered his best friend was still alive. Even if he rivaled his own father when it came to being a psychopath he was still family in his own way.

When Emmet came he was just as expected. He whispered to Victoria "Your right he's hot." he said almost with disappointment since he was at least a little self conscious. A beautiful man with a powerful presence. He could see part of the appeal already. "Oh lord? Okay you won me over already." he chuckled.

"Welcome everyone and thank you for coming. Come on we have some food ready. Lets go and sit down and talk about our big day." Barbarah was up stairs still sleeping. He did hope she stayed since if someone woke her up too early the sweet little baby would seem almost demonic in rage. At least she was still cute.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Your right I should've just tossed you at her Leo, and Anya what the hell are you doing?"

BOOM

They could hear a large explosion and several coughs. "I heard."

"That means put down the toys and lets go. The princess is waiting. Don't be late!" his eyes turned red and they could see the eyes of a snake in them for a moment before the comm shut off.  Anya sighed and stepped over the sea of parts in her room to find her teleporter. "I'm always on time. For that moment guys he was about to be fun again."

“Ledge and Elle had managed to obtain a car and were already following the scent of Haruka. Ledge had picked up on her scent from the warehouse and it was go time from there. He’d also picked up blood from her, a sign that whoever had broken in had came from a fight, and he could pick up that she exited but no sign of entrance which to him meant the might be dealing with a teleporter. He was driving while deep in thought using his pheremone powers to get people just move out of the way not trying to deal with traffic. He was so focused on is thoughts he didn’t even notice when Elle put a hand on his thigh .”

Ledge: Hmmm
Elle: Oh baby was just wondering if you needed a distraction.
Ledge: Oh sorry.

“Ledge was so use to being on the X Force, not having a feminine touch to comfort when dealing with stuff, and it wasn’t long before they were pulling into the warp gate area. Ledge was sniffing the area, and popped his claws out not even wincing as they burst through his skin, Elle instantly made some sparks.”

Elle: Is someone here? Oooh let’s go shock em baby.
Ledge: Naw I just always sheath these guys just in case, something pops up and I need to be quick, I Can smell whoever’s here there probably trying to get through the warp gate.
Elle: ooh so you want me to drain this place and shut it down then we can shock em.
Ledge: Slow down Electro, I’ve got an even better idea.

“Ledge took out his phone to call Marcus, quickly explaining the situation to him.”

Marcus: Right…I’ll increase security around the warp-gate, and shut it down for now, alright.

“Marcus hung up making calls so that the New York warp-gate was getting a temporary shut down, and S.H.I.E.L.D agents were being sent there, while Ledge unsheated his claws sniffing the air for Haruka’s scent, starting to make his way towards her, while Elle got out the car following behind.”

Elle: Ledge seems so serious, he really is fresh out the force. I missed him so much but I’m a little glad I wasn’t on Fawkes death squad it changes you.

"Just as he's about to take his leave, he gets punched so hard into a nearby wall he leaves an indenture. A red tall humanoid with strange protrusions on his head, hooves for feet, a tail and an inhuman, huge, stone right hand, stood before him. As Abby prepares to help a blue human cat hybrid grabs her and flips her as gently as he can onto the floor, pushing her beside Collin"

Blue: My stars and garters, they're practically teenagers.
Red: Yeah well, shouldn't have broken in. Okay, the guy's probably knocked out. Just keep it cool and nobody gets hurt today

"Abby notices he's putting away his gun. Red is a hardass, but no need to shoot kids. Blue meanwhile is at the computer Collin was on typing away"

Blue: Oh, he was looking for info on wendigos. Now by Washington's wooden teeth why would you need that?

"Blue turns to the two of them in a very polite tone"

---

"Haruka meanwhile had began walking towards the warpgate when she notices it begin to close"

Haruka: Oh come on!

"Haruka leans against the wall, still feeling very weak from bloodloss, and now without a single clue as to what to do"

----

Amber: One second Dale. I'll be right down

"The elf, Ilyrana, drops down from the trees near the manor and stares at Dale. She had reacted instantly, she wasn't expecting Amber Parker's brother."

Ilyrana: I apologize Dale Parker. You startled me.

"Amber soon teleports in front of the house"

Amber: Sorry I was taking a shower. Come on in bro

"She opens the door and leads Dale in. Ilyrana heads back into the woods"

Amber: She's getting better. She actually used a warning shot on the last group of the national guard that came to try and get her off! I'm pretty sure they're gonna send the PDF soon. Just another headache

"Amber actually kind of liked the beautiful idyllic forest that had formed around the Sanctum Santorum. But it definitely brought trouble. Every so often authorities would pass by to try and analyze the situation only to get shot with special magic arrows by Ilryana that knocked them out, and kindly escorted out of the forest. They'd wake up outside, all their gear intact."

Amber: Anyway, that's wrong Dale? Need any help?

----

"The four lieutenants Avery, Anya, Stella and Leo had gathered in Akemi's throne room"

Akemi: Good. You're all here. The mission is simple. I have obtained permission from his majesty the Emperor to track down the fugitive known as Haruka. She escaped into the time stream. We'll be traveling back

"Stella seems to flinch slightly at the prospect of time travel"

Akemi: The target appears to be the year 2019. I don't think I need to tell you how very discreet we need to be. We can not afford any changes in the timeline. No interfering with the events in any circumstance
Leo: Yeah yeah we got it there cous

"Stella slaps Leo on the back of the head"

Stella: Address her properly.
Leo: Okay okay! We got it your highness!

"Leo pouts but obeys Stella. Akemi stand up"

Akemi: Are you ready, my lieutenants?

----

"Lucifer seemed surprised, but not really frightened, by the sudden mix of energies"

Lucifer: My my, how very dramatic. Well, you're more than welcome to stay if you wish to find out more

"Lucifer grins, but this time it's Ruth that gets in the way"

Ruth: Whatever he is, he's not staying here with you brother. We've accomplished our mission. In the name of our Father, who hart in Heaven, you will follow your sacred command and regain control of the realm of the damned

"Lucifer sighs but nods"

Lucifer: Yes yes by dear sweet sister, you got it. Put the house in order all that

"Ruth turns around"

Ruth: We leave

"In a bright flash of light, the party of five leave Hell, and appear in Tie and Earring's private chambers in LA"

Ruth: Thank you for your assistance.
Yelena: Well, if that is all angels, I go now. Much to do

"Yelena waves her hand and teleports in a bright flash"

Ruth: Listen, Ashe

"Ruth turns to the half demon, half angel with a very serious look"

Ruth: I can imagine you are curious as to how you became this way. But I warn thee, Lucifer is not a being to be trifled or bargained with. Power, information, whatever the case may be, he will use you for his own ends. He may swear fealty to my Father, but he will just as easily ignore it and attempt his own unwanted schemes. If you require help, seek out those who serve the Heavenly Host. You are better served. Now

"She turns to the angel siblings"

Ruth: I must go. I have no been home in a very long time, I have many things to report to Raphael. You two be sure to maintain this Rift...and ready for war. I have a feeling Father may begin the final judgment very soon.

----

"The ninja does not answer, and suddenly, bursts into blue flames. Max takes a few steps back"

Max: Damn!

"Just like burning evidence papers in a fireplace. This Hand was not an organization to be messed with. Unfortunately, Max was being payed"

Max: Well...sorry for everything there kid. Heck accordin to your files you'd probably have taken care of things yourself.

"Max pulls out a wallet and a pen, and writes Iko a check"

Max: I think this'll cover the damages to your window. Just one last thing, you know where this Aya Shiki currently lives at? And what you two might have in common?

Justin: Maybe that is, but think about this kid, how many times would ones lie effect you or your family? Most randoms will never effect you, and with friends and family you need a sense of judgement, know when they are acting oddly then you use you power to find out why. This same judgement will help you against those few strangers that are up to something against us. Fact is, you can't read every bodies mind all the time. I'm sure you don't wanna know stuff like what your sisters, mothers, or friends are up to in the bed, do you?

"Of course there was plenty of non sexual private matters one would not want David hearing, that's just the example Justin used."

-----

Abby: Wendigos...

"After what Collin just said Abby wasn't sure she should say anything, they might just kill Collin. But she'd also never heard of a Wendigo before."

Abby: What... I mean can you tell me what these are?

"Abby wanted to get information as unlikely as it was without without coming off demanding causing a battle or saying anything that would get Collin killed. As she asked that a third person walked in, wearing a government suit this one looked human."

Cal: Your not in a position to ask questions young one.

"Cal moved past the other two addressing Abby."

Cal: Now, answer the question. Why do you seek information on Wendigos?

"Abby could tell she had to say something but she wasn't going to reveal Collin."

Abby: I think I... may of seen one.

-----

"Katy wasn't hit by anything but the hate was strong."

Katy: HEY! Calm down. I just stopped that thing that was rolling around killing you people!

"Katy knew they had to leave here before a riot started."

Katy: Ok look we'll go. But before we do, can anybody tell me what's going on? Why was a giant quarter rolling around town trying to eat you people?

Red: That's impossible girl. I killed the last wendigo myself.
Blue: Well we never did confirm it. Cal, don't be so mean to the poor girl.

"Blue squats and starts looking at Collin to make sure he has nothing broken or if he needs any help, while explaining things to Abby"

Blue: A wendigo is a cursed human who is punished for consuming human flesh. Black ancient magic the PDF isn't very knowledgeable of. We don't know exactly how the curse works, but we know it can be passed down in a family, like a genetic trait. They used to plague the American east coast, and appear in a lot of native American legends, especially in Canada. One of the first threats the PDF faced when it was organized in the late 18th century was stopping the wendigo attacks on major population centers. As far as we know, the last wendigo was killed decades ago, but it's an affliction brought on by a curse. Perhaps the curse has resurfaced, or perhaps we missed one
Red: Now better question is how pray tell you managed to get inside this place, or even learn where it was.

"Just then, Felicia feels something push at the portal to try and close it, and Cal gets a message on his pager informing him there was a portal open"

"Cal checks his messages."

Cal: Seems that's explained easily enough. There is a portal open and another women outside fending off guards, likely tied to these two. She seems to be of magical nature.

"Abby listened taking everything in. The explanation of the Wendigo explained a lot but was also worrisome. The blue guy seemed willing to talk so as Cal was focused on containing Filicia Abby asked another question."

Abby: So this Wendigo curse, how can one lift it or control it? There has to be a better way then just killing the person.

Blue: Well...

"Blue looks at Abby"

Blue: We don't know any way to do that. Far as we know, the bloodlust and need for human flesh overtakes all reason. But, that's just a theory. I know it sounds a bit crazy but magic and mysticism operates like science as well. We can only guess as to how things are and theorize. Evidence will change the established theories...so if you have any evidence, now would be the time

"Blue gives Abby a serious, yet understanding look. He had a feeling this was more than her just seeing a wendigo. Nobody would knowingly risk infiltrating the PDF just because they saw a paranormal creature. If anything they'd call on the PDF rather than breaking and entering."

Red: Oh, by the way kid. You might wanna tell your other friend to back off our guards. We sent Liz there...she's not as nice as me or Blue here.

"Outside, as Felicia fights through the guards, she's suddenly fired at with a massive anti-tank rifle, the shell tipped with silver. The shot blasts through the air, passes a few inches from Felicia's face and then pierces clean through the wall behind her. The shot comes from the of the hallway as a girl dressed in a red military uniform with a short skirt has the empty ammunition fall out and puts in a new ammo"

Liz: Next one goes through your head. 30mm of firepower into your brain. Stand down!

"She aims the weapon"

Abby: Well, what if I tell you I not just seen a Wendigo, but I came face to face with it. And it refused to harm me.

"Felicia had maintained contact with Collin and Abby and Abby feeling like they was making some progress asked if Felicia could stand down. With messages dying down Cal could turn his attention back to Abby. A wendigo refusing to injure was unheard of, so much so they would need more then this girls word on it."

Cal: Assuming all this is true, we capture this Wendigo you claimed to face and stick you in a room with it. Your saying it will not attack you.

"Abby seemed surprised, getting stuck in a room alone with a transformed Collin wasn't exactly what she had in mind, at least they didn't know it was him but may turn out to be something she'd have to do to prove her story."

Abby: Y-yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

"Blue smiles apologetically."

Blue: Seems you have a lot of trust in this hmm, random wendigo you never meet before

"Blue puts a bit of emphasis on the last bit of the sentence, obviously implying he doesn't believe Abby just randomly met the wendigo out of nowhere"

Red: Well, if she says so. Where'd you see the wendigo?

"Red was one for little talk. If this is what she wanted, well clearly the job was simple. Capture the wendigo and put it in a cage with her"

"Ledge was getting close and spotted Haruka he could smell blood all on her, the scent from the warehouse filling his nostrils his was defiantly the chick he was looking for he nodded towards Elle, and motioned."

Ledge: I got this. Just keep her

"Ledge made his way over to Haruka having claws in his left hand but tucked into his pocket, and his right hand none putting them on her shoulder gripping tight while whispering in her ear . While Elle's eyes glowed white as she used her power to negate Haruka's power."

Ledge: Breaking and entering's a crime ya know, now you're gonna tell me who the fuck you are or I'll slice you in half right here.
Elle: Hey Bro..we've secured the target, who broke and entered, sending you footage of Ledge up close to her rn, scan the database.
Ezekiel: Gotcha....got it.

"Ezekiel go the picture Elle sent from the com, and began cross referencing it going through files rapidly to find a match for Haruka."
................
Dale: Oh it's fine I'm use to that reaction when I drop down although usually I'm expecting bullets, and lasers, so an arrow is a nice change blast back into the past.

"Dale laughed following his sister inside, he loved catching up with Amber. While he had been practicing magic as of late he still focused on his life, and heroics above that, although it helped to have an extra mystic kick at times especially serving on the Avengers."

Dale: Yeah..hope she doesn't arrow PDF, I don't see that going over to well. What has the world really been that bad the past year, I can't just stop by to see how you and flame skull are doing? Well that is mostly why I dropped by, but I've been having a bad feeling like something really bad's gonna happen sis,
............
"David nodded he knew Justin was right, it was so hard being a kid and at the same time having to deal with an invasive power like that. He was so use to using it growing up, his natural curiosity about others always satisfied but now as he was growing older he realized he didn't want to live life knowing everyone's secrets."

David: You make a good point, you know  there are some people's minds I'm not trying to read all the time like you or my dad..some people who just..I feel like I can trust, or I want to hold them to a certain regard so I rather not know what there thinking.  And yeah trust me that's one reason I'm staying out of my sister's heads!

"David had learned his lesson with peaking through Abby's head for no reason, trying to figure out a fun fact or just be curious could lead to some awkwardness. But with the trust thing it was obvious he was referring to trusting Justin more then his dad, if only because of all the stuff his dad sometimes did."

David: Thanks Mr. Justin, you always seem to have something smart to say that really helps me.
..........
Dave: so you're telling me you just met this girl, who told you she was in the business of getting people what they want, and what did you give her?
Wife: This idiot gave her my fucking car!!!
Husband: Yeah but she said we'd get rich, said she had powers, I figured shit a mutant burned robbed our store reason we're broke, might as well put powers tot he test, and boom it happened we got a bunch of money, but it came to life got big and started chasing us
Dave: Mhmm I See...okay sounds like bullshit, but
Wife: Look! We tossed the money out! It was all gold, but it turned to silver and started eating us Mr. Warp that's the damn truth!
Husband: I thought he was blink!!!
Wife: Well he changed it, and Warp sounds cooler I mean
Husband: So you're looking shit up about super-heroes, see you asking why I turned to a fucking mutant for money, your suppose to e finding ways to
Dave: Alright bye.

"Dave teleported over to Katy, as one person's response was just "GET THE FUCK OUT" and Dave teleported to Katy as someone threw a rock and he moved in the way as it hit him."

Dave: OW fucking

"Dave was angry but just teleported him and Katy to a nearby roof top and groaned."

Dave: Stupid bastards! I swear I think we're dealing with something, these people said the sold their truck to this girl, and she used her powers to give them gold, but it came to life and tried to eat them. I'd say it was a genie but there was no mention of a lamp, sounds like someone trying to make some scores with their power, probably hates humans I kinda don't blame em, but that quarter ate a random person, anyway it could be magic, but it still seems like something we can deal with, I say we find this chick and figure out what her deal is, and stop it if she's doing it on purpose, and if this is just a side effect of her power we still have to stop it before the government stops it permanently.

"Dave feared that if this mutant was trying to use her power to make money or get stuff in exchange but it had nasty side effects she'd get killed, what he wanted to figure out was her intentions he knew humans wanted them all dead, but being married to Sandra, and having a bunch of kids with dangerous powers, he knew it wasn't always their fault that their power hurt people, they just needed help."
............
"Felicia felt someone trying to close the portal and figured things were about to get heavy, then she felt someone shooting a bullet past her and turned to see the girl sniffing."

Felicia: Vampires..fucking fangers.  Next one goes through my head huh? Enough of this shit, I should have done this my way from the beginning. FUCK OFF BUFFY

"Felicia tapped into the powers of Morgan Le Fay, her eyes glowing with magical energy as the gun was jerked out of her hands turning around and forming into a cannon that fired a blast of solar energy at the vampire, while she sent out mystical tendrils of energy phasing through everything forming a field around Abby, and Collin, before she used a mystic gravitational compression spell instantly dragging the three through the portal closing it but sending out a blast of mystic kinetic energy as it was closed, and they appeared back where they were not he beach Felicia fusing with her gateway, and feeling even more power."

Felicia: Hmm..Collin seems out no matter.

"Felicia caused some strands to wrap around him healing his wounds then touching his chest causing some mystic mist to seep into him. Then pressed her index finger against his lip and some dark mist emerged and she inhaled it into her mouth."

Felicia: I overheard your little convo, I think I might be able to help, wow evil tastes good or maybe I'm just craving another man, jokes but I did take some of his essence, I put a little charm on him it used to grant animals or beasts of great rage calmness and coherency, so if Collin triggers his transformation and I still have my magic in place he'll be coherent, the spell will wear off but it's a temporary solution might give you a chance to help him hone the powers, but that's powerful magic, the more he does it the quicker the spell will erode, the point isn't to let him be the Hulk, it's to help him stay banner unless an emergency pops up, in the meanwhile I'll try to see what I can do to ind a more permanent solution, take care Abby.

"Felicia vanished and the sound of crackling was heard as she left to her own  quarters."

"Haruka looks at them both"

Haruka: Ledge Harrison, codename Claw. Powers: high degree regeneration, claws, enhanced senses and pheromone control. Knowledge in enochian magecraft and adamantium skull coating bones. Elle Bishop, codename Surge, powers: electricity manipulation, electrical form and power dampening field...when she's focused

"Haruka moves at a speed Ledge rarely sees in a normal human. She grabs his arm and slams him into the wall to stun while throwing a knife into Elle's face. As Elle dodges, she runs into an alley to escape"

Haruka: Damn it. I was suppose to come equipped for this. God I hate that fucking Akemi bitch

-----

Amber: Keeth? Oh, we're fine...well

"Amber goes quiet for a bit"

Amber: We haven't talked in a while. I might have sorta threatened to kick his ass because he didn't tell me what had happened to Kano, and about the keys. Just kinda pissed me off. It's not his fault...it was mine as per usual. I'm always coming up short of helping our friends. I could get all the power in the world and it wouldn't mean jack

"Amber sits down and sighs. She hadn't opened up in a while"

----

"Liz was slowly getting up awkwardly, as Red and Blue recover from the attack"

Red: Oh crap...they got away
Blue: Not quite...

"Blue points to the cameras"

Blue: I get a feeling I've seen that girl before. Not sure where. A few years back.
Red: Yeah, now that you mention it. Red hair, kind of dopey but cute look. Seem to remember more aggression though.
Blue: Well if we did, we'll have information on her and cameras picked up on it. I'm also concerned for her and the boy's safety. Wendigos are no laughing matter
Red: "sigh" I'll ready the ammo. Another day, another silver bullet in someone's ass.

"Ledge was taken back by the speed she moved his reflexes barely managing to keep up only because he'd been taken aback by her speed. Elle was taken aback by her speed as well dodging and turning to deal with the fleeing mutant."

Ledge: SURGE! Damn it

"Ledge turned to the escaping mutant quickly using his gravity powers on her to pin her down, while Elle turned used her control over neural impulses to shut down Haruka's brain functions to render her unconscious, the fight had caused the scene as more S.H.I.E.L.D agents were in the area on Marcus's command to deal with the warp gate being closed."

Ledge: She's fast for a depowered bitch
Elle: Yeah.

"Elle's eyes stopped glowing white as she walked over to Ledge, sending a message to Ezekiel that the mutant was captured, and the needed to be beamed up before S.H.I.E.L.D asked too many questions as Ledge walked over to go pick her up."
............
"Dale nodded he noticed he hadn't seen Keeth around at least not currently, in-fact Ghost Rider had been spotted more and more on patrol lately, which wasn't unusual but he figure he'd spend a lot more time at the mansion."

Dale: Well to be honest sis....Kano's my buddy too, but I can't really blame him. I mean I know you say you don't care about people anymore, but I do, and the whole world got dragged to Hell, fucked up a lot of people's minds sure some people made a 360 but a lot of people are more scared have more nightmares. Plus lots of people died, kids lost their parents, parents lost their kids.

"Dale sat down he knew how much Amber cared about Keeth, but at the same time he could see why he wouldn't tell her about the keys."

Dale: But look even if your not the most sympathetic person..when it comes to humanity anymore, one thing I can say is I know you care about me, him, the team, our friends, you've done plenty to help all of us, a million times over, but if you act..rash with powers like yours well.."With great power.....comes great insanity." but luckily you have an amazing brother to counsel you

"Dale had paused after saying great power, making it seem like he was going to copy the infamous phrase Peter Parker had adopted from Uncle Ben, but had decided to let his humor shine through figuring his sister needed a few more laughs in her life. It felt good to just talk to his sister he knew the life she lived facing mystical threats was mentally straining he'd been through it himself but never to the lengths and levels she had."

"Haruka is obviously anemic by this point, barely resisting Ledge's gravity powers. Her wound on the back also reopened, and she's bleeding heavily again"

----

Amber: Oh come on Dale. That line? That line has been haunting our family for generations. I'll give you a better one. Gods are never more than what one makes of them. That's what my master used to say. The Vishanti, the lawmakers of the world, any "rules". It's all just some form of a god to me. I don't have much patience left for rules. I do as I please, and what I want to do is protect the people close to me, no matter what it takes. Even if those people are at each other's throats, nobody dies

"Amber stands up"

Amber: Here, I'll get us some coffee. Anyway besides, clearly Kano was fine when he came out. He was just pissed and nobody could get in his way. If I had been there I could have restrained him and talked sense into him. I very much doubt once he's calmed down he'll still want to murder tons of people. He's not like that. He's an Avenger and all that.

"Ledge groans picking up Helena blood getting on him, as him and Elle were beamed up to the space station. Upon getting there and seeing how critical Haruka's situation is, the quickly stabilize her with some of the advanced tech but only just barely still leaving her wounded, and bring her to a cell on the ship, putting anti mugen cuffs on her hands and feet."

Ezekiel: Hmm..I wasn't able to find anything on her database, who is she?
Elle: A jerk, she threw a knife at me!! Can I go zap zap
Ledge: She's in no condition for any zap zapping, but I think I can help out with the database
Ezekiel: Your gonna find something in the files I couldn't how?
Ledge: Like this.

"Ledge entered the interrogation room and walked over to Haruka spitting in her face then slapping her hard."

Ledge: WAKE THE FUCK UP and tell me who you are! You ain't no normal girl, that speed you had...I'm guessing someone trained you to peak condition I wanna know who?

"Ledge pulled up a chair turning it around and sitting a snikkit heard as his claws popped out for extra motivation."

Elle: He's so...sexy when he gets rough.
Ezekiel: Elle..as your brother...what you just said..nvm
.........
"Dale just laughed at first."

Dale: Oh come on you know it was funny, plus I added my own little twist, I could probably take up comedy as as side job if money stared getting tight for Morris and Stark.

"However the conversation quickly took a darker tone, and when Amber came back with his coffee he took a sip."

Dale: Well you have a point there, even though nobody knows where he hath gone! But that's the thing he'll be calm, but the world weren't he's going to be forever etched in their minds as a monster, but in you and his and all of us who've snapped on humanity once or twice, it's not like they don't deserve it, I just don't get why there so irrational and hate people that care about them, if anything we do a lot more for them then the suits that want to manipulate their freedom. But you certainly have your work cut out for you cause.

"Dale took another sip of his coffee."

Dale: We always seem to be fighting each other it's always some new law, or new force that divide's us, personally I'm tired of it. Ever since Leah & Harry died, I've kinda saw your point more, we sacrifice so much for the world, that we don't even get to save the people closest to us. You know if you want I can talk to Keeth, put the fear of Shuma Gorath in him I know you miss him, and even if he's being a stubborn ass I know he feels the same.

"Dale sighed he'd told Amber of the feelings he was growing towards Milo's sister towards the end of her life, and wished he could have saved her, and then Harry's death had hit all of them he'd gotten along with him the minute the left. He'd thought FINALLY another hero with a sense of humor besides Milo. But these days there wasn't much time left for laughs."

"Haruka just spits back at Ledge and remains quiet, not saying a word. They'd never believe her, and even if they did, they couldn't stop the Emperor in this time line. Her duty was the eliminate key figures of the empire that couldn't yet defend themselves, not the Emperor himself."

----

Amber: Harry...Harry's dead because of me. If I hadn't been crippled by the wave, I could have stopped Jet myself but...

"Amber turns around"

Amber: I gotta get back to work. I need to make sure everything's sealed tight now that the chaos wave is gone. There's already one Outer God that can enter this dimension. That is definitely the most terrible thing that can happen.

Anya and Avery yelled. "Yes your highness!" Anya was prepared to play a guitar riff but Avery shook his head smiling.

----------------------------------------

"We are soldiers. We've always prepared for war." Tie had a sly smile as if hinting at something else. Earrings was still thinking of her description of Lucifer.

"Yeah I feel like she's partially talking about us to. Don't worry Ashe the only other scheme I have involves a lot of chains and oil." He joked with Ashe but he and Tie sensed something. The Rift itself was unstable and it was beginning to open. Tie dropped to her knees struggling with Earrings to keep it contained.

"Sis they screwed up bad this time. We need to fix this."

"No this is my duty. Keep our associate company until then." a flutter of wings signaled her exit. It didn't take long but a fog began pouring out of the Rift and around LA. Something was trying to break through.

Castiel: I told you I really don’t care, I’ll help you, Harrison, the Fullers, maybe a few others, but yeah.
Milo; but you still joined the SXM
Castiel: Because I’m getting tired of pushing drugs and running brothels, I figure I’ll have a much higher class of women available  if I’m a celebrity superstar hero, plus Genosha is nice, there’s a bunch of beautiful mutant superhuman with abandonment issue’s of all sort ready to get the D.
Milo: Well I can’t argue with you there, but they’ll be plenty more if you follow me, trust me you’ll get the best of both worlds, think about what I’m offering you. Cas, the type of power you wielded, the role you want
Castiel: What you’re talking about Ventro, do others know? Or I trust you entail me with the information because of my own past endeavors?
Milo: I do.

“Milo walked over to Castiel who was playing pool and trying to ignore Milo, he’d made it so only he could see him and hear him, and others couldn’t notice they were talking. Of course Castiel was still dominating, and making money. He’d gotten these people to bet thousands, acted like he couldn’t play, and now he was dominating them.”

Castiel: Milo
Milo: Come on Cas, you said it yourself you’re tired of this life, you gave up on hunting Melker, Heaven’s back, power are back, but you’re like me you’re not ready to settle for the status quo, you wanna shake things up, then let’s shake them up. You’re talking about a higher class of women, I’m offering you the greatest deal ever in the history if your existence, trust me I peered through it all, searching for deals

“Castiel chuckled as he finished his game people getting angry, but most not wanting to do anything but give up their money due to his reputation.”

Castiel: Fine I’m sold, you’re offering me a pretty impossible bargain
Milo: See I knew you’d come to your senses
………
Riya: I knew it I could smell it on! Gamma radiation what are you doing,
Nate: I don’t think what I’m doing is any of your business Riya, we’re here to work a mission aren’t we?
Riya: But were are you getting it from! It’s not from Alex, oooh I swear if you’re working with Darius
Nate: Oh OH now it matters if I’ m working with Darius?
Riya: You are!!!! I knew it!
Nate: you left the SXM to join a fucking team with him, so who are you to talk
Riya: At least I didn’t play a role in starting up the chaos wave, and almost getting us killed! Gosh what is it with you men who can’t handle their own powers. I wish there was a man who was strong and confident in his powers he had, and knew how to handle a girl at the same time
Nate: Yeah hopefully he’d pop up in your life and smack some sense into you. I wish I had a powerful woman in my life who knew her place but we don’t always get what we want do we. You know what  fuck it your  Always criticizing people I’ll figure this case out on my own!

“Nate propelled himself in the air he didn’t want to be lectured  by Riya, and propelled himself elsewhere Riya folded her arms and considered having lightning bolt strike Nate down but decided against it settling for making a strong draft to push him into a building. While nearby Laura was seen smiling as her eyes glowed.”

Laura: Be careful what you wish for.
Riya: Huh who are you?

“Laura grinned as she walked past Riya, she didn’t expect the banner girl to hear her, but it didn’t matter. She did want to meet the SXM, the people that ruined her life, her marriage, and took everything that mattered. This may be the city of dreams, but only her sister’s were truly fulfilled, the irony of this dark world.”

Laura: Oh just a free spirit who ease dropped on an argument of the gods.  
Riya: Look lady….we’re not gods..
Laura: Ah but you have the beauty of a goddess, Torment is it? I’m assuming a jealous woman gave you that name, because I couldn’t see any man labeling you as anything so dreadful sounding not with the beauty you have,
Riya: “Sighs” Alright lady
Laura: Laura
Riya: Laura I’ve got work to do, you seem sweet, but I don’t swing that way, and just in case I’m being an asshole and your not flirting with me…thanks.

“Riya then took flight and Laura smiled as she flew away.”

Laura: Oh trust me hero, I have no intention of lying with you, I’d much rather sausage over pancakes.

“She giggled and skipped off as Riya was flying trying to get back to Dave, only for her to see a muscular hispanic man standing in the air.”

Riya: Hmm hey who
Man: Shut up bitch

“The man smacked Riya hard and she flew down instantly becoming her hulk form as she slammed into the roof of a building the man flying down next to her grabbing her by her hair lifting her and punching her int he face before kicking her drawing blood with each blow.”

Riya: WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

“Riya shot forth a blast of wind only fort he man to fly through it grabbing her by her face and slamming her into the building taking her through the roof of the top floor causing people int he hotel to scream as the man kicked her aside.”

Girl: OH MY GOSH WHAT ARE

“The man walked over to her and punched the woman’s head off causing others on the top floor to begin screaming as he moved at super speed ripping another woman’s head off, before tossing her body and using heat vision to incinerate the rest of the women trying to flee on the top floor as he marched over to Riya who was struggling to get up, she’d fought some powerful superhumans but each blow this guy dealt was like getting hit by two alex’s.”

Riya: Who…are you
Man: Oh just a strong confident guy who knows how to handle his women.
Riya: W..what

“Riya’s eyes were about to widen as the guy moved at super speed kneeing her so hard a crack was heard in her back and she coughed up blood as she punched her in the face blood spewing from her lips before elbowing her out the window then moving forward and tossing her into traffic causing her to slam into several cars, and cause a massive crater as he flew out frmo the building staring at Riya laughing. Dave who was on the roof with Katy saw this and eyes widened seeing the flying hispanic man and Riya getting smashed into the ground.”

Dave: Oh my gosh!!!! Tormentor!!!

“Nate had flown to another part of the city before going to sit down at the beach in a lawn chair to relax, Riya had pissed him off. Sure working with Darius to try to run gamma radiation experiments on himself was dangerous, but his body could take it he knew from experience, and he wanted the power he had back before Amber killed him.”

Nate: Ah..relaxing in the sun..
Man: Hey get up buddy unless your paying
Nate: What..look man I’m a super hero on duty just taking a break, just let me lay down
Man: Look buddy I don’t care if your Superman or Michael fucking Jackson, YOU not paying then YOU need to go
Nate: Hmmmmm.

“Nate had thoughts about getting up before he looked up seeing a beautiful light skinned girl flying from the sky landing on the chair next to him.”

Man: God damn it! What is it with you fucking meant freaks

“The woman looked at him before disintegrating him, causing Nate to get up alarmed.”

Nate: Hey what the fuck you can’t just do that! Who the hell

“The woman turned to Nate and grabbed him by his neck and slammed him into the sand before kicking him aside.”

Woman: Please don’t tell me what to do, I know my place.
Nate: What the

“Nate got up to use his power only for the woman to raise her hand using some sort of clear beam of energy blasting Nate back.”

Woman: And it’s way above stupid men like you!!!
…………
“Elsewhere Doris Martinez was sitting down enjoying a cup of coffee while going through some files on her laptop, the folder titled Shadow X Men. The sudden spark in power alerted her, and the rest of the Central Intelligence Agency. The’d confirmed through their own agents that something was defiantly amiss, but what was most worrisome was the leader of the CIA’s superhuman division Eddie was now missing, so she’d done the best she could and called in her sister Dawn, manager of one of the best crisis management firms for superhuman related disasters in D.C”

Doris: Have a seat place
Dawn: What’s this about?

“Dawn took a seat, Doris sighed she was a very strong woman who had ears in all corners.”

Doris: Your brother’s missing, he was investigating a robbery of a top secret oscorp facility, we picked up mutagenic enegries, sent him to investigate, his power…has a way of helping us..easier manage most threats
Dawn: You mean kill don’t you? I’m not dumb Doris, you know the field I work in you want to talk to me about a situation involving my brother let’s not sugar coat anything,
Doris: Fine you want the trust, your brother’s in danger, I was wondering if you heard anything or you had any ears who could find something out, your brother is one of the strongest mutants I know on top of that he’s level headed someone taking him down, it’s gotta be someone dangerous,
Dawn: You mean someone with a pretty damn powerful ability, I see the problem, the problem is you put too much confident in my damn brother’s powers instead of spending extra time with back up, because I’m guessing you think of mutants as expendable, considering the rumors that you supported Vance Collins coup that’s further validation you just see my brother as a weapon, so no I won’t use any eyes and ears to help him, because I’ve told him a thousand times to stay the hell away form you.
Doris: LISTEN! Do you want your brother to live or not then you’re going to shut the fuck up and play ball. I don’t like a certain breed of mutants, people like the Shadow X Men who abuse their powers, your brother is a friend and a trusted agent, perhaps I put too much confident in him, but it’s not because he’s  mutant it’s because he’s a mutant with a damn good  power that’s helped save me, and tons of our other agents in the field several times, and the situation was too high risk to send anyone else, look you’re good at reading people then READ ME Dawn and tell me if you think I’m the enemy here.

“Dawn looked at Doris, despite her personal dislike of the lady she had to admit she couldn’t see any thing that gave away she was lying, but she was the director of the CIA, and she didn’t climb her way up the ladder by spewing the truth. She was a master of espionage, and distorting the truth but right now it didn’t matter because she was being honest about one thing for sure. She hadn’t talked to her brother since prior to this mission he was in trouble.”
…………..
“Eddie was coming to his senses when some cold water was splashed on him. He was investigating an Oscorp robbery, and that’s when everything went wrong. He remembered seeing a girl flying or rather gliding. He’d remembered seeing files about the Cyber Goblin, and then next thing he knew there was an explosion. He went after this girl following her into a device and she activated it. He had no way to escape the cylinder device as it seemed it was powered by some sort of core that negated or interfered with powers he felt nausea, as he was filled with light, and the girl herself seemed to have screwed herself over and not have known what she was doing. He could tell because she’d been stuck in the cylinder device as the lights infused with both of their bodies.”

“However know he was coming too, and tried to move. He felt groggy, there was defiantly some sedative in his body, and a powerful one at that. He tried to move and felt himself binded looking down to see noting on his feet, but tugging at his arms he could tell he was tied.”

Eddie: [i] What is it with me and these damn situations, god damn it Doris owes me a raise, fuck that I’m going straight to Taylor for the best benefits in the CIA. I need a fucking fat blunt as soon as I get home  [i]

????: Oh I see your up, fucking traitor.
Eddie: Who the
???: You don’t recognize my files? God fucking Osborn probably never let them surface. Everyone seems to think of MRD as the villains, but HAMMER were the real bastards. My name’s Paige, Paige Walker, and you are fucked, but thanks for the power agent.
Eddie: The power what are you.

“Eddie tried to use his power only to find nothing happened, and he instantly felt enraged, and tried to fight more, trying to overcome the effects of the drugs while trying to escape as Paige laughed.”

Paige: Here’s a hint, those aren’t breaking, you know how your power works don’t ya honey. Well put 2 and 2 together, you’re gonna hurt wrists, now I have no problem with you, except you interrupted me,
Eddie: Oh yeah so this is my fault, I’m the big bad guy for trying to stop you from committing a robbery of high tech weaponry.
Paige:  I was trying to setback what was mine from Osborn!
Eddie: And what exactly did Osborn have in there that he took from you
Paige: Everything, but I’m not an overachiever I was only there to get one thing back, the most valuable thing he took from me, my power.
……………….
“Ledge wiped the spit off his face and looked at her before getting up then kicking her in the chest. However Ezekiel instantly stretched his arms around Ledge pulling him back.”

Ezekiel: Alright Ledge, your turn’s up!
Ledge: God damn it!!! Fine…you don’t wanna talk, I know who we can do, let  go!

“Ezekiel let go of Ledge who took his claws back in and shut the door behind him, obviously his methods weren’t getting anywhere.”

Ezekiel: Look we need answers, not killing her
Ledge: She’s dangerous, highly trained, she almost got away from us with her powers negated, and she broke into the old warehouse and get this I couldn’t find any trace of an entrance, just an exit. We need to find out who the hell she is, we’re always on the receiving end of some threats, this is our chance to change that
Ezekiel: Yeah but beating her to death because she got some saliva on you is gonna help!
Ledge: No but Elle is
Elle: I am? Whadda ya
Ledge: Remember how I said no zap zap,
Elle: You want me to go zap zap on her baby?
Ledge: No I want you to go full blown Shocker.  Make her take you everything
Elle: Oooh..okay babe just for you I will.

“Elle kissed Ledge, opening the door and walking in while Ledge walked over to a vending machine putting in the code and a soda came out, then he put it in again getting one for Ezekiel tossing it to hims he walked back over to him.”

Ezekiel: You realize what you just unleashed
Ledge: Yeah..I do but she slammed me into a wall, I got her blood all over my new shirt carrying her, and she spit on me, I’m this close to making that snikkit noise into her throat, but Elle..oh she’ll make it last a lot longer,
Elle: Okay so back there I heard you talking you already knew about me and my boyfriend, so why don’t you just tell me some things pretty please.

“Elle smiled despite being somewhat of a sadist and enjoying it when it came to work she always seemed bubbly. She focused on Haruka looking at her right hand and negating the electric field around her middle finger disintegrating it then firing a bolt of electricity in the opening that disintegrating her finger made giggling.”

Elle: Neat trick isn’t it! I love it! You probably don’t buuuuuuuut I doooon’t care, sooo why don’t you tell me  what i wanna know come on girl, who trained ya, ..aaaand why’d you break into our old place, tell me pretty please or i might accidentally disintegrate a few more fingers, maybe the whole arm!! ibuuuut its all up to U!

“Elle maintained a calm and joyful even playful tone the entire time as if she wasn’t torturing this girl, speaking as if they were good friends just chatting.”
………..
“Dale put a hand on Amber as she spoke.”

Dale: Hey Harry’s not your fault, if he’s your fault,  self loathing seems to be something our family’s got a history of, but I think it’s time to break that tradition.

“Dale got up as he finished his coffee.”

Dale: But I should probably head out and go on patrol, that outer god situation sounds serious, just don’t forget you can always call me, the Avengers, and the SXM for back up. I love you sis, it was good catching up with you oh and next time a little more sugar for the coffee, Venom coulda made a sweeter drink that.”

“He was of course teasing his sister, although he would have liked a little more sugar it wasn’t that bad, he just hugged his sister tight before using a spell to teleport back to New York and spinning some webs swinging off. He hadn’t hugged his sister like that in a while, but that feeling that something bad was gonna happen was a lot stronger and talking about outer gods didn’t help, not at all.”

"Amber begins to feel the rift."

Amber: Oh god I forgot about that! Dale, do you need anything else, I have to go!

---

"At LA, outside at the rift, Yelena teleports in again, as well as Ruth"

Yelena: My word, barely sit down for a minute and I'm called back again. What is wrong?
Ruth: I'm not sure. They both suddenly dropped to their knees and mentioned something was trying to escape the rift
Yelena: I'll set up a perimeter around LA. You tell your angel friends to close it quickly

"Yelena teleports high into the air. She begins to chant in Celtic, and then Elven, as runes appear all over LA in a massive circle"

Yelena: By the Vishanti three, Hoggoth, Oshtur and Agamotto, empower these runes of Elven name. Gaea protect thy children!

"Back at the rift"

Ruth: Tie. What do you need. Hurry!

---

"Akemi teleports all of them across time and space. They appear on the roof of the Watchtower in present time. Akemi is quick to use her powers to hide them from detection by bending space around them"

Akemi: I'll attempt to locate her now
Leo: Aww man, this was Genosha city way back. Man it looks ancient.

"Stella has her eyes fixed in the distance, in the direction of Filipe and Rachel's apartment"

---

"Haruka barely winces in pain and grins at Elle, as if asking for more. Just then, Elle is teleported out of the room, as Yamairo appears in front of the three of them, his face showing anger"

Yamairo: You have exactly 5 seconds to explain why you are torturing what looks like a teenage girl, or so help me god I am kicking all off this team.

"Yamairo is beyond angry. Torture is bad enough, but torturing a teenager is beyond ruthless"

Adrian laughed and explained joining the Code:Breakers as they all sat down. Victoria and Tanesha remained standing however, unsure of what to say to each other at first, finally Tanesha couldnt stand the silence any longer " Congrats! On having your baby I mean and getting engaged.

Victoria blushed " Oh....thank you Tani....how have you been? "

" Oh you know me, always getting into some trouble, joined an organization of psychotic assassins and now i'm in the Queen Goddesses entourage " she said using her nick name for Emmet " Well we should probably go sit down now " she went over to sit beside Kaiser, just as Victoria opened her mouth to say " Sorry " she sighed however and sat next to Tyrone.

After some small talk and some food, they got down to busniness. Kaiser handing Emmet his planning book " Alright lovelies, lets start with the date, what time of year are you thinking of? "

" We were thinking something in the fall would be nice " Victoria answered easily, fall was her favorite season, she loved the changing of the tree's. Tanesha smiled, already knowing what Victoria wass going to say as well. Emmet marked this down and started listing off possible color schemes for them to consider.

" Now we move over to possible locations. I know of several, on earth and off, but what really comes to mind is a lovely little cathedral in the middle of a beautiful forest " no sooner had he said this then the living room was warped into the very same location he described " It'll be even more spectacular in the fall! "

Victoria gripped Tyrone's arm lightly, her eyes sparkling " Oh Ty, it's so perfect, what do you think? "

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Iko pocketed the check and considered how to answer that question, he had a good idea based on something that had caught his eye in the files Max had handed him " I have a feeling she can be located in Tohoku region of Honshu. As for why, we share a unique skill that is very much coveted "

"Dale was just swinging through New York looking for patrol, and then his spider tracer he'd set up earlier was blinking."

Dale: Hmm it's on the move maybe this might be something, come on Spidey time to go bust a drug deal. Yeah right Spidey with your luck it's gonna be an anti mugen bomb's deal, and the'll right as I get there.
............
"Ezekiel sighs he knew this was going to end badly, but suddenly his scanners were going off."

Ezekiel: Hold that thought Yama, my scanners are going off hmm

"Ezekiel raced to the computer to see what was on his monitor, and saw the temporal scanners were going off. Ledge sighed he actually missed the X Force he forgot he was back on the SXM."

Ledge: Because we're dealing with a dangerous situation, this girl broke into the old warehouse how many people know about this place, not to mention Elle negated her powers she was still dangerous, probably peak human,
Elle: Yama! You really think I'm just gonna torture some girl for no reason, your soo mean!
Ledge: can it, besides I have my blood, trust me this girl may look like a regular teenage girl, but she's a lot more then that, there's a lot more to her story.

"Ezekiel came back sighing."

Ezekiel: Scanners picked up temporal energy at the warehouse, that explains why there's no files on her at all, she's not from here.

"Yamairo sighs"

Yamairo: And why, pray tell, didn't you call a telepath? Or me? I can just use my temporal sense to check where she's from. There was no need to torture her. I'll handle it. Just give me a second okay?

"Yamairo walks in. For a split second the girl looks at Yamairo in shock. It was him...but she quickly hides that away"

Yamairo: Sorry about that. My team mates can be a bit on the rough side. You really shouldn't be breaking and entering

"Yamairo heals the damage Elle had done, as well as the rest"

Yamairo: You lost a lot of blood. Now excuse me, I'd love to ask you your name and other such things, but I'm afraid you'll just lie to me.

"Yamairo puts a hand on her head. She barely reacts, and a tear runs down her eyes. Yamairo begins to focus to see into her past, when he's suddenly assaulted by a headache"

Yamairo: What did you do?
Haruka: H-huh...I d-didn't. Anti-mugen cuffs. I c-can't do anything...I wouldn't do anything...not to you

"She seems shocked. Yamairo looks at her for a bit before sighing and walking out"

Yamairo: Couldn't get anything. It's strange when I tried, I just got a splitting headache. Are we sure she's a mutant? Maybe she wanted to get captured and pretended to be one? Ezekiel, can you just run a quick blood test to figure out more about her? We three will keep an eye on her

----

Max: I see...look ain't none of my business kid, but you're the target of some big folk. My employer seems keen in finding out more. Might be in your best interest to cooperate with me here or the next visit might be from legit law enforcement.

"Max lights up a cigarette"

Max: So gonna ask again, what do you and this Aya woman have in common.

Ezekiel: Alright will do

"Ezekiel went to go run a blood test while Ledge leaned against a wall. He felt this whole thing proved his point, and Yamairo was messing up the progress they made."

Ledge: Asks why we're torturing the damn kid and then we can't make no progress, that's the fuck why.
Elle: I wonder what's taking my bro so long.

"Ezekiel came in just as he was called, and looked pale in the face having the results in his hand."

Ezekiel: Okay..she's a mutant, but more then that Yamairo...she's your daughter.

"Yamairo's face enters into shock"

Yamairo: She's from the future right?
Ezekiel: Yeah...

"Yamairo takes a deep breath"

Yamairo: Wasn't expecting this. Does this calm your nerves about her Ledge?

"Yamairo walks back into the cell"

Yamairo: What's your name?
Haruka: I'm sorry, I...I can't say anything
Yamairo: Sorry. If your goal was hmm, us not finding out who your parents are, bit late.

"Yamairo sits down next to her and she just looks at him. She wanted to tell him so much, but she couldn't. She had her missions...he was going to hate her by the time this day was done"

Haruka: I can't...my name is Haruka.
Yamairo: Nice name. Seems like something I'd use. Why did you come here?
Haruka: I...I had a mission. There's, look something bad is going to happen soon. I'm here to stop it
Yamairo: Why didn't you come to us
Haruka: It's complicated. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break into the warehouse! I just, I was in the middle of a battle, and couldn't control it. I could only guess the time.

"This was only half true. Haruka wagered the true reason was that breaking through the time barrier was already hard enough. She probably got brought to the warehouse because it was a place Yamairo had used greatly, so her teleportation through time just homed in on it"

Yamairo: Well, I can't exactly just let you go until you tell me what's wrong. Don't worry, you don't need to lie. I'll just get my telepath friend to come up here. And don't worry, no peaking at your private memories

"He pats her head and walks out. He was still processing the entire thing. Having met his daughter Akemi from another time line before, it was helping him deal. But still, it wasn't every day a daughter of yours came from the future. Somehow, him being a time traveler didn't make it easier"

Yamairo: Ledge, keep an eye on her. Try not to torture her anymore. I get a feeling there's something very big going on here. I can't imagine any future where I'd have my daughter stuck in combat and forced to come back in time to prevent some great evil, but this will be solved in a few minutes. I'll just go get James. See you in a bit

"Yamairo teleports out"

"Ledge nodded."

Ledge: I hope your right, I told you I smelled something bad coming, real bad.

"Ledge looked at the girl though the window as Yamairo left, and he was more concerned now. He almost wanted to contact Fawkes, but figured this wasn't the time."

Elle: What's wrong babe? You feel bad about torturing future girl
Ledge: Naw...and that's the problem, I should feel like shit for hurting Yama's kids, everything he's done for me, for us, for all of us but something still doesn't sit right to me about her mission, not at all
Ezekiel: Hmm..what makes it worst I feel the same way. Ledge, I really do.
