Heroes Uprising: Alternate Universe (Thread 3)

We now continue the alt story in this thread.

Tabitha handed Katy her fifth drink, albeit slightly watered down, but she added some extras to it, so it was nearly impossible to tell. The mood was pumped and the music was too, most people were dancing to whatever song came on, but it wasnt long till the innebriated group were demanding an encore performance from the present True Notes. Emmet was dancing with Garfield, Donovan, and a slightly reluctant Dave while Victoria was with Tyrone and Sandra with Tanesha as Bruno Mars song " Chunky " came on.

Tanesha(Sandra):
She got to shake her little something
(Shake her little something)
Throwing that thing from left, right, side to side
She got to have her own money
(She got her own money)
Shout out to the girls that pay they rent on time

Tyrone(Victoria)
If you ain't here to party, take your ass back home
If you getting naughty, baby, here's my phone
(Slide with your boy to the bar)
(Slide with your boy to the car)

Tanesha. Garfield, and Tyrone:

Garfield(Emmet):
Now let me hear you say you ready (I'm ready)
Girl, you better have your hair weave strapped on tight
'Cause once we get going, we rolling
We'll cha-cha 'til the morning
So just say alright (alright)

Tanesha with Sandra and Victoria:
If you ain't here to party, take your ass back home

Slide with your boy to the bar
Slide with your boy to the car

As the song came to a close, the house exploded with applause for the group. Meanwhile Barbie was watching them with an unreadable expression, her fingers rapidly texting away.

Sandra had a huge smile now after the second song of the night. She had no idea why she didn't expect this, of course coming here and just drinking was far to simple. Performing should of been obvious. She wasn't even thinking of Barbie anymore as she basque in the fan applause alongside her friends.

Katy had finished off her fifth and sixth drinks during the song. With the seventh she held up a shaky toast towards her friends somehow not spilling anything then proceeded to continue drinking it down. At this point Barbie wasn't the only one to have bet, there was a good hundred dollars or more currently on the counter at this point.

Scott nodded at Kiya's suggestion that they take a look around the carnival for something to do.
"Sounds good, I guess."
He wandered the carnival with her and they went on a few rides. The rollercoasters were fun, as were the bumper cars and the tilt-a-whirl. They were sitting together on a Ferris wheel as it was going up.
"So, what made you decide that you wanted to be a student at the Xavier School?"

"Hmm, well to be honest Scott it just seemed like the best place to be. There isn't a big lot of options for us super powered and Genosha is by far the most famous school. It just seemed like the right move, you know. Are your reasons similar for being here?"

Scott thought about it, hiding a smile.
My reasons for being here are a bit more complicated than that. Aside from that, I know you have other reasons for being here.
"Yeah, that about nails it. I wanted the best education in controlling my powers that I could, and everyone said that Genosha was the best place to go. It seems like an okay enough place."

Scott looked back at Kiya.
"How long have you been at Xavier? Have any funny stories about the place or the True Notes?"
Leaning back in the Ferris wheel seat, he relaxed as it continued to slowly spin.

Kiya smiled. "One could write a book on everything the True Notes get up to. Like one time we was attacked by mercenaries who wanted Tanesha Mack, they had some strange drug that could temporarily paralyze most of the mutants. They might of got away with Tanesha, except they wasn't counting on somebody like myself being in the group.

And then their was Troy, he lead a group coined The Mafia. He hated Sandra and Emmet for some reason, more then once trying to have the duo killed. Nobody really knows what happened to him, he ultimately got his ass beat by the True Notes and then disappeared. I guess he got scared and ran off."

In reality Kiya was the one that knocked his ass out and dragged him home to daddy, but she couldn't reveal that without blowing her cover.

"The most dangerous threat so far seems to be this new group that always moving around in the shadows. While many don't remember this, I think some tampering was done with peoples minds, luckily I'm among the few that are tamper proof. But these people managed to kill Sandra at one point. Somehow after about a week the dead girl reappeared which is weird, I still wonder if she's a clone or something sometimes, after all she's dead, or should be. But yea our current enemies are the first ones to actually accomplish something. They seem to consist of magical users, undead, and some former Mafia members, far as I can tell."

Again Kiya knew what the Phoenix was, but a regular student wouldn't so that's why Kiya acted confused talking about Sandra. Otherwise she only gave out info any other True Note would know.

"It's not all bad though. The True Notes regularly has a lot of fun and we often has parties as well. Oh! You also asked how long I've been here? I'm pretty new, I only joined here this past semester. So no worries, I get how you feel about being new here. The place is so big, crowded, and crazy that it's a bit overwhelming to just jump in." Kiya slid her hand over on top of Scott's. "But just stick with me, and I'll show you the ropes."

Scott listened attentively as Kiya told him stories about the enemies that the True Notes had faced. He wondered why the mercenaries would have wanted Tanesha, and what kind of drug could act on an X-gene and paralyze a mutant. He also wondered who this Troy was and why he hated Sandra and Emmett enough to want them dead. Kiya then mentioned a strange shadowy organization that had managed to "kill" Sandra, obviously a different group from the one he had been sent to deal with. It seemed that just like his own cosmic abilities, Sandra's connection to the Phoenix could raise her from the dead, though that was probably where the similarities between the Phoenix and the Destroyer ended. Kiya pretended as if she didn't know about the Phoenix, but Scott felt in his gut that she was lying to him.

"It seems like a lot went on last semester. I recall you mentioned some kind of demon attack, as well. Does Xavier regularly get attacked by bad guys or something?"
He nodded his head as she talked about how big it was. Truthfully, he was not that intimidated by the size, given that Shadowgreen was just as big if not even bigger than this school. However, he needed to pretend to be a little intimidated by it if he was going to sell his cover as a new student to Kiya.

Scott was surprised when Kiya had all of a sudden slid her hand over his. The flirting from earlier had seemed kind of silly, but this was different. Despite the fact that she was probably his enemy, Scott saw that Kiya was very beautiful up close and his skin warmed slightly from her touch. Looking into her eyes, his hand gently took hold of hers.
"I'd like that, Kiya. Thank you."

They looked into each other's eyes for a little while, and Scott felt warmer as his eyes glanced down at her moist lips before looking back into her eyes. The strong urge to kiss her came over him, something within his heart overcoming his mind and encouraging him. His skin warmed even more at the thought, and he started to lean forward. However, just as he started to move forward, the Ferris wheel jostled as it came to a stop and snapped Scott out of his daze. The moment had passed and he felt a little embarrassed, so he gently let go of her hand and climbed out. After Kiya joined him, he gently took her arm and walked off with her.

"You said the True Notes often like to party? Why don't we find them and have a little fun? I could use a drink, anyway."
Using Valor, he was able to hone in on Sandra's energy and began heading for the party house where the True Notes were. They passed through the doorway and Scott gently let go of her arm.
"What kind of drink do you like? I'll grab one for you while I'm getting mine."

While still on the Ferris wheel Kiya answered some of Scott's questions. "It's not so much Genosha is attacked by outside forces, but a lot of students like to group together. Some of these groups are good, others not so much. For some reason Troy seemed to be given many liberties with his illegal actions often being given a blind eye. His family does have money, maybe that's why he always got off the hook?

As for the demon that happened during Riku's haunted house. He wanted it to be scary but I don't think he planned for that. I suspect the shadow organization had something to do with that."

As the Ferris wheel slowly descended it seemed like Scott was just about to kiss her when the wheel jolted to a stop. Kiya had a warm smile on the surface as they left the ride trying not to make Scott feel uncomfortable. But this was a interesting development, Kiya didn't expect Scott to actually fall for her, however it seemed he was. Scott brought up the party. "Oh yea some of the True Notes are also in the cheerleading squad, they are out partying tonight. I'm not a cheerleader or a football player, but I'm sure our friends won't mind us joining the fun."

Kiya didn't have details on Victoria's plans, but it seemed Scott was able to track them down. When they entered the party house Scott asked what drink Kiya wanted, she replied with a Gin & Tonic.

Scott nodded and headed over to the refreshment table, which was piled high with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
What was with you back there, Scott? Were you actually about to kiss a woman who is our enemy?
Scott smirked a bit.
Of course not, Valor. I timed it just right so that any kiss attempt would be interrupted by the ride coming to a halt.

Hmm, so you are attempting to lower her guard by feigning feelings for her.
Something like that. The physical attraction is real enough, but I haven't lost my head. When Kiya makes her move, I will be there to catch her in the act.
Scott got her a Gin & Tonic while getting some club soda for himself. He did not want to get drunk while on duty, but he made sure to seem suitably relaxed for the party atmosphere.

Handing Kiya her drink, he smiled as a regular college-like party went on around him.
"Except for their powers, these guys would be indistinguishable from any regular college student. I do wish that regular human society and those with powers could coexist more peacefully."
Taking a sip of his drink, he spotted the True Notes doing their thing. Observing how Kiya acted around Sandra would be interesting, so he remained unobtrusive and continued speaking with Kiya.

"There are plenty of people out there who accept us, it's just that many people fear us as well. Hopefully some day we can nudge that needle a little more to the acceptance side. We're all human in the end." Kiya took a taste of her drink, she missed the days when alcohol could actually give her a buzz, parties just aren't quite the same sober. But at least Kiya could enjoy her favorite flavors of drink with no ill effects, so there was a plus side.

Meanwhile Katy just finished her final drink. Clearly quite drunk after the challenge Katy just took the betting money and stuffed it in her pocket. "Whoo challenge complete."

Scott nodded.
"Yeah, it would be nice if we could live together in peace. Perhaps that day will come someday."
He had been working toward that in his own world, but there were still steps to be taken. How far that day was for this world he had no idea. He looked over amused as a drunk Katy celebrated winning her bet. Scott finished his drink before setting it down.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked, noticing an area where couples and others were slow-dancing to more romantic music.

Kiya smiled as Scott mentioned a dance. "Sure Scott I'd love to. Lead the way." Kiya laid her glass down and stood up.

Victoria sat on one of the couches, going ovr the list of spots they were planning to hit next, she took a small sip of her drink, barely on the second and looking up every so often to check on things, everyone was up, dancing and drinking and enjoying themselves. Suddenly Emmet plopped down next to her, seemingly composed, but she could see the slightest of shakes in his hands.

" Dawling, what are you doing, did you not notice there's a party happening around us, aside from our spectacuar music displays, you've been seated, barely enjoying your delicious drink, and not really enjoying yourself "

Tanesha sat on her other side " Common occurance, she has to be the squads mother, even when she doesnt have to be, gurl get yo ass up, chug that drink and have some fun "

Victoria shook her head " Were running a little late and need to head out, i'll drink and dance more at the next party, promise "

Emmet was about to say something when his phone started ringing, he answered, his smile growing all the while " That sounds like a marvelous idea! " the call ended and Emmet, sparring a passing glance at Kiya and Scott, called for the others attentions " Everyone, clear out your schedules for the rest of the night! " he emphasised by lighting Victoria's list on fire and continuing past her cries of outrage " I have received an invite from my dear friend Chic to attend his club Ectasy on it's special festival opening night! "

As he spoke his fingers were moving rapidly texting the other True Notes, giving them all the details and directions. Katy, Tie, Tesla, and Roberta instantly remembering the girls night out they'd had with Emmet and the club. Emmet extended the invitation to Dave and Donovan if they wished and Donovan was immediately onboard, ignoring the part where he was supposed to stay and host the current party they were at.

Victoria was reluctant " That sounds fun, but we have a schedule and it's important to adhere too, each one is for a different group in the school and keeping up with them maximises the cheer groups status and popularity- Victoria trailed off as Tyrone took her hand and squeezed it, after a moment she smiled " Alright, lets go "

A void of darkness opening up in the middle of the party, courtesy of Riku, shocking several people. Emmet struck a pose " True Notes, move out! " he sashayed through the void without a second thought and appeared at the entrance to the club, it was the same as last time, It was cymetrically astounding, with an altering color scheme that was in a constant state of rotation. In the center was a massive dance floor, all around it were adjacent booths were people to sit at. Located parallel was a long countered bar with a series of bartenders were doing complicated movements as they mixed drinks. Looking up they could see more levels with dance floors and bars.

All around him various other True Notes appeared.

Sandra came over to Tani. "Well looks like plans have changed, should we get going darling?" Katy left the counter thanking Tabitha for the drinks and staggered through the portal. Kiya stopped dancing and spoke to Scott. "You wanna go and see what the True Notes are up to?" She pointed out the portal the group was making their way through.

Scott watched as Emmett invited everyone to club Chic and a portal opened up in the center of the room. Kiya asked him if he wanted to check out what the True Notes were up to, and as he saw Sandra go through the portal, he knew the choice had been made for him.
"Sure, let's go."
Scott casually strode through the portal and looked around at the dancing and drinking floors that extended several levels up.
"Well, if there's a glorious afterlife for clubbing, this is it."
Taking Kiya's hand, he led her to the dance floor and casually danced with her while keeping a surreptitious eye on Sandra.

When Kiya and Scott arrived Kiya took in her new surroundings. Replying to Scott "you know, I expect nothing less from Emmet. This is exactly the kind of thing he's set up." Scott would then take her hand and Kiya to the dance floor. Kiya was able to pick up on Scott watching Sandra every so often but didn't speak about it right away. After a while of dancing then Kiya brought her suspicions. "Scott, why do you keep eyeing Sandra? Oh my, your not another person she left heartbroken when she revealed her lesbian side and hooked up with Tanesha? Wait is that why your moving so fast with me, because your on the rebound?"

Scott was not surprised when Kiya caught him checking on Sandra every now and then. He smiled patiently as she asked him if he was a jilted male suitor that was trying to rebound with Kiya.
"No, I'm not romantically involved or interested in Sandra and I'm not on the rebound. I'm also too new to really know who's dating who so I didn't know she was actually with Tanesha."
He looked left and right, acting like he was about to tell Kiya something that he didn't want overheard.
"Obviously you haven't heard the rumors that some dangerous person is on campus and targeting Sandra. A crowded, public place like this would be perfect for someone like that to make their move, so I'm keeping an eye on her to make sure that she doesn't get hurt. I also don't want anyone else to get hurt, for that matter."
He then smiled wider and cocked an eyebrow.
"You really think I'm moving fast, Kiya?"

Kiya smiled when Scott asked if he was moving fast. "I'm not complaining, you are a very charming fellow. However look how far we've come over the course of a afternoon, we've gone from strangers to almost making out. We've pretty much skipped right over the friends stage entirely." Turning a bit more serious now. "But that aside, you mean to tell me somebody else is after Sandra? Poor girl can't catch a break. Well I don't think you have to worry Scott, whoever it is I'm sure has done research on the company Sandra keeps. I can't see anybody trying to take Sandra with so many True Notes present, it's practically suicide. So relax, enjoy the party. Hell if all go well maybe we pick up where we left off on the Ferris Wheel." Kiya gave Scott a slightly seductive wink as they continued to dance.

Scott gave a slight shrug, conceding that they had almost kissed before knowing each other that well.
"Fair enough, I guess I have moved a bit fast."
She asked him if somebody else was after Sandra.
"Well, it's just a rumor right now, but given what you've told me, it's not rare for someone to be after the True Notes."
She then explained that someone wouldn't likely try to abduct Sandra with so many of her friends present, and while he knew there was some sound logic to her reasoning, he also knew that a master of stealth could spirit her away in the crowd before anyone realized what was going on. Determined super-powered beings could and often did defy common sense and logic.

Scott was not going to forget about keeping an eye on Sandra, but he would heavily cut it back to make it seem like he was taking Kiya's advice to relax and enjoy the party.
"I guess you're right. Let's have some fun."
As they danced, she gave him a bit of a seductive wink and hinted that they might make out at some point.
"Now who's moving too fast," Scott teased her.
As a new song started, Scott danced with her and had fun with her as if they were just two normal people having a night on the town, his attention entirely focused on her.

Kiya knew she wasn't getting near Sandra tonight and seeing Scott enjoying her company, she decided to do the same and just enjoy the night. There was no reason she couldn't enjoy herself after all. As they danced Kiya spoke up "So Scott what is it you do? I mean ability wise, you joined a mutant school and while there are regular people here, you don't strike me as one."

Scott looked at her as she asked him what his powers were. Since he was still getting his bearings in this new world and suspected Kiya was the agent who was after Sandra, he decided to keep that information close to the vest.
"Let's just say that I can take care of myself in a fight," he said, giving a vague answer that didn't even confirm if he was a superhuman.
He then decided to quickly change the subject before she could press him further.
"We've been dancing for a while. Do you want to take a break and get something to drink?"

Kiya didn't expect to get the full scoop on Scott's powers, through she hoped to get something basic at least. But it seemed Scott was carious. When asked if she wanted a drink Kiya gave a nod and responded. "A drink sounds great right now." She gave him a smile and the two started walking towards the bar.

" Oh, finally your here! "

Emmet looked up to see his friend Chic striding over to him, the two embraced and kissed each others cheek. Chick looked Emmet up and down, pursing his lips " Ugh as always you look better then I do, do you have any idea how much this ensenble cost? "

Emmet laughed " I imagine it was a pretty penny, but this " he waved his hand over his body " It wasnt a matter of cost, simply taste, though I feel it's missing something "

Chic gave an overly exaggerated sigh and shed the white, faux fur coat he was wearing and handed it to Emmet who immediately slipped it on and several people around him applauded and Chic grinned broadly " and now it is complete "

Riku whooped as they entered the club, Noah, Kaiser and Kano trailing behind him " Fuck yes, now this night can really begin! " after hours of exterminating demons and having to be around Noah, he was ready to party.

" Theres still more work to be done " Noah complained but, he confessed to finding the surrounding environment interesting, he'd never been inside a place like this before.

" Chill your holy tits, our people are picking up the slack while we take a little(long) break. I dunno about you, but I could use a drink, line of coke, and a dick to ride, dont care about the order though all at once would be appreciated "

Kano was appreciating the sights as well " This reminds me of a party my uncle Loki took me too once, though on a much grander scale, tell me will their be a mass orgy as well? "

Riku kissed Kano's cheek and rubbed his crotch " If I have anything to say about it there will!! "

Adrian immediately headed over to Emmet and gave him an appraising look " Excellent outfit as always, thanks for the invite "

Emmet smiled " Thank you for the compliment and of course I couldnt enjoy the sights without all my wonderful friends here, plus some extras. Now, shall we find the VIP section? Though really anywhere I sit is VIP "

" Too right you are, which is why I prepared a special spot for you and your entourage " said Chic, he greeted Roberta, Tie, Katy, and Tesla whom he remembered from last time " This way now! "

Chic led the True Notes to the third floor, much like the first two floors it had a large dance floor/stage, ample bar, seats plus a roped off section a massive L shaped couch a table packed with food and drinks " Of course I had to give one of my dearest friends his own spot in my club " he beamed with pride and Emmet hugged him fiercely. Emmet strode into the spot and took a seat, christening the area.

"Got to say, being friends with Emmet has it's perks." Tesla quite enjoyed the VIP treatment they was getting. Katy made her way to the couch and took a seat, all the drinking earlier had left her a bit hungry she just hoped putting food in her stomach wouldn't make her sick. Sandra and Tanesha had left the dance floor to join the others, they to went to the couch and sat next to each other. Having danced for a while it was nice to get off their feet for a bit. They went over the food and drink on the table to determine what they wanted.
