 Freak: -1 | Danger: -1 | Savior: +2 | Superior: +1| Mundane: +2 Potential: 2/5 Well it can be very hard apparently. I'm clinging on for dear life as the stupid ant goes everywhere but where I want it to go. It charges up the side of the building! Can ants do that? Even miniature giant ants shouldn't be able to do that should they? But I'll worry about Ant biology when I'm not about to die! Now first things first, cling on as tight as I can and try to find some way down off of this thing. Still I could see a ledge with an open window. If I timed my jump right I could grab the ledge and pull myself up before the ant realised I was gone.... no pressure.

Scene of the crime! Servo jumps, at Megumi and Supernova's words and bangs his head off of the orb! "Ahhh! Ow owowowowwwww! Don't hit me again Team cute!! I bruise easily!" He screams, cowering already. Oh... okay... that was unexpected. Unfortunately as he drops, the orb starts to hiss and buzz. Oh no! The Nano-Swarm!! If you don't take action soon they'll be released! There's a number of computer terminals that could be used to do it, or you could try and mess with the orb itself! What do you do? Living life on the edge! You scramble for the edge of the ledge. You just manage to get your fingers on it! Oh thank god! You pull yourself up and away from the lethal fall. But god drat, if that wasn't terrifying. Above you the ant turns around, getting ready to head back down the building. From this vantage point however, you see something unexpected.  Someone's standing on one of the nearby roofs, with some kind of control box. He's controlling the ants! He looks like he's arguing with someone over a hand held radio. While he's not playing with the box, that ants seem a lot less aggressive. You could get over there with a little bit of acrobatics. It would certainly make it easier if you could turn the ants off so to speak! En Garde, mark Afraid Twisting tunnels! Feral steers the ant left, and head deeper into the nest. The tunnels twist and turn, with your ant threatening to throw you at any moment! But you emerge into a large central chamber! A massive glass wall separates this nest from the lab beyond! Inside is a couple scientists who're lying on the floor unconcious.  At a big central terminal stands a bad guy! He's got a radio in hand, and seems to be arguing with someone else. He's got his back to you, if you can get through the glass you could drop him. There is just the teeny tiny problem of the Pratorian ant guard and the Queen who're also in the chamber. Ah. What do you do? Making a mess with an ant nest. Below Aurora and Getterman Pink the street seems to be boiling with Ants! Summoned by the pain and fear of their nest sisters. Gosh, if only there was some way to confuse them, or stun them! Otherwise it's going to be really hard to stop this many of them! Looks like you're going to need some kinda clever plan! What are you going to do?

I glance at Servo carelessly, and yeah, he's still cowering in the corner, terrified of my very presence here. Good. Megumi is fiddling with the device, but if its as dangerous as her brother said, we should probably just dispose of it. "Megumi, we just need to get rid of this, yes? I'll handle that." I step forward, pulling out a device that looks somewhere between a radar gun, a tablet, several unusual kitchen utensils, and a several old television sets dials. I aim it carefully at the orb and start adjusting settings. <godfist> unleash on orb <jimmydalad> im dumb <godfist> !r 2d6+2 <Krysmbot> godfist, 4+2 = 6 <godfist> ....uh oh :V "This is too complex to use in a fight, but since I don't have to worry about interference... I'll just swallow it in a blackhole." After a bit of fiddling, I'm satisfied, and pull the trigger. Working properly, a small blackhole should form in the center of the orb, consume it in an instant, and then collapse in on itself seconds after, at most swallowing a reasonable sized chunk of the air inside the room. And it's definitely going to work properly, because I never make mistakes. Unless it involves poorly designed human technology missing pieces that any reasonable person would assume was there.

Then I made a really stupid mistake. I looked down. Not a good idea. Still in my panic I managed to grab a hold of the window frame and with desperate terror hauled myself up as much through force of will as physical strength. I'm ashamed to admit it but I collapsed in a heap on the floor for a bit before pulling myself together and getting my breath back. Glancing out of the window I could see the Ant I'd rode heading back for street level and on a nearby rooftop. Hmm well let's see he's dressed like an ant he's playing with some sort electronic doohickey. I bet he's the guy controlling our giant ant friends. But this time rather than leaping into action.

Feral You smash through and punch the guy out in a single punch. Holy poo poo! You grab the radio, and you hear a voice on the other side. "Have you quick finished playing around, you mindless dolt? The Ants are out of control! DO SOMETHING!" In front of you there's a bunch of computers which all kinds of readouts and stuff. They look like they've got something to do with the ants! What do you do? Aurora You put on a brilliant light show! Wow! (You've got to select a target and spend hold to get any benefit from it. So, What do you do?) En Garde Huh, looks like that guy's massively distracted by two things, his radio, and also whatever shiny lightshow that Aurora is putting on! He looks so angry and so distracted that anything that surprises him could lead to him throwing his controller thrown into the air in shock! What do you do? Getterman Pink Well, the food is gone. But somehow you managed to get some on your gloves.... why are all the ants staring at you...? Maybe you should start running. Uhhh, run? Or what do you do? You, know, whatever Megumi & Supernova Okay! You manage to apply the terrifying power of a blackhole onto the ticking orb. And while the Nanoswarm isn't released. The containment field starts to do all manner of strangness. For instance, the surface starts to fluctuate and warp. In the way that something that was looking at exploding would do... Huh. Maybe you should run. Like really loving fast. Because this thing's starting to Discharge bolts of lighting off to the tech in the room...! "No!" Yells Tenshi! As he reaches for the orb which gets swollowed by the containment field you put up. Even that drat reporter is starting to look for escape routes. He is grabbing Servo though.

Of course, in situations like those, one doesn't often have a shrink ray device that you managed to get working properly. I examine the "gun," delicately of course, and with the impending explosion - well, this could be the perfect time to test out my new device!

Admirably worried, I hurriedly look over the settings on my device again, but no, aside from having it set to Sun before I fired, it should be working fine! Trust humans to invent things that somehow mess up how black holes work. Bet they didn't even realize it. Looking around anxiously, I move towards Megumi to fly her to safety, when she calmly fires it with the repaired shrink ray. So cool. For a human. No, focus Mavragariti.

FERAL There's a shocked silence from the other end of the radio.... "Hello?" Comes the confused and worried answer. Then there's a scream and the walkie talkie shuts out. Huh. Looking at the computer there does appear to be a huge red button with an ant head with crossbones. Huh. Maybe that's the one? Getterman Pink Oh no! Oh no! The ants were goi- oh nevermind. The ants disappear below you as you fly up! What's with this kid? She's just got her hands all over you! Still, you've got a good vantage point now. Well, you're on the right track, a pheromone trail would do the trick. Ants are not smart, they're already trying to eat you because they think you're food! And when one ant finds food it leaves a chemical trail to guide it's colony. So how was... AhHA! A drone! With some kinda cemical emitters was just hooked onto a tree. Looks like it still worked! Maybe it could still be of some use! Aurora Grabbing Pink again (seriously, do you have a crush on her or something?) you fly up, away from the agitated ants. Oh! It's En Garde! En Garde You leap the gap and advance on the Man-Ant as he stares at his radio. Your words spook him dramatically and he screams at a pitch that as a girl, you can't help but be a little envious of. Regardless the controler flies out of his hands and falling all the way down to the ground below. Oh! It's Aurora and Getterman Pink! Aurora seems to be hitting the guy with a charm offensive, and god drat is it effective! Aurora You hit the villein with a little blast of cuteness. Pleading for his help. "AURORA ANGEL! I! AM! SUCH! A! FAN!!" He squeals. "But, the device...!" He peers down at the smashed object. Well, that's going to complicate matters. But, he seems to be on your side... for now.

Supernova takes the shrink ray for me and starts taking aim herself. I guess it's only fair to help her with my own support. I brace myself then lean down and reach around her with my arms, redness returning to my face as I recall my earlier thoughts when she grabbed me. But, there's no time to think about invading personal space when it comes to saving the day, I guess. So I throw myself into it, gripping her tightly and doing my best to stay still. As I put the side of my head against her, I'm painfully aware of the alien feel to her clothing, and the pleasant but unfamiliar way she smells. And, as my hands lock around the other side of her, they come across something sticking out of her garment. It's firm but soft at the same time, and a little warm to the touch. Almost like flesh.... ohgoditshertail! My hands quickly pull back and I reclasp them in a different location. I just grabbed her tail! Is that an alien faux pas? Did I just break a huge social norm of her people? Oh god... now's not the time to apologize but I'm sure it's going to be a huge problem once we have the situation under control. My cheeks are bright red by now from this entire interaction... oh... the life of a superhero.

I take a deep breath, unfortunately filling my nose with her scent, and snap my eyes open, aiming and firing again and again, determined not to look bad in front of Megumi. For the 7-9 result, once Supernova see's this succeed going to escalate the situation by kissing her if that's allowed Arashi~ if not will go for boring exposure to danger

I found threats far more effective. Usually threatening to cut something off worked real well. But hey whatever got the job done right? And it's not like i'm jealous that she had fans everywhere. well not much anyway One day one day maybe... But for the present I may have made a slight mistake in making him drop the controller. Still maybe I could play bad cop to her good cop. "Forget it Aurora he's a waste of your time I bet he's just some dumb lackey put up up here to keep him out of the way of anything important. I doubt he even knows anything about ants. Just hit him over the head and then we can go find someone more competent to deal with the ants."

EVERYONE - The outside! The team all makes it up to the street! Looks like things are starting to go in the right direction! With two of the three bad guys down (and the third kinda sorta on your side?) you've almost got the whole situation sorted! You just need to clear these ants and their nest... -boom- A cloud of green gas erupts up from the tunnel entrance! Just as Feral runs out of the lab entrance with a couple of scientists slung over her shoulders! They don't look too well, covered in blood, concrete dust, and with wisps of some kinda green smoke hanging off of them, but she's got them! Elsewhere Megumi fires the shrink ray, missing completely! Oh god! But then, Supernova starts getting a little hands on, actually so does Megumi! With Supernova taking the shot the whole place and everything in it starts growing again, back to it's original size! With that, Supernova starts struggling with the overwhelming desires rushing through her. And Megumi tries to ignore the heat of Supernova's breath against her neck. It's all ether of you can do to hold back from taking her and just... Then a shudder in the platform pulls you together even closer. Their whole body against your own is just too much! Megumi, Supernova: It's just too much, the raw sexiness of each other is too much to handle. You forget the world around you and get down to the important task of making out. Aurora and Man-Ant desperately try to come up with an alternative. But Man-Ant's brain is so frazzled to be in Aurora's presence that he can't come up with anything! Oh no! En Garde tries to convince Man-Ant through another means. But he panics and shoves En Garde and her pointy sword away from him! You stumble and fly right into Aurora! The two of you end up tangled together, with En Garde on top of Aurora. The both of you in a position that would be far more appropriate in the bedroom. "Oh man, I didn't know you two were into girls!" Man-Ant pulls out his phone and starts snapping pictures! Oh no! That's even worse! That's going to get out onto the internet unless you act quickly! At least Getterman Pink seems to be onto something though! She starts messing with the drone! She makes an absolute hash of the inside, and the finished thing has wires sticking out of it and sparking alarmingly. But it flies along the route, ejecting some kinda mist. The ants not taken out by the gas explosion start moving in that direction towards the large pool of water! This could work! Things are all starting to move to the resolution of this whole thing! At last! What do you guys do? - - - Elsewhere, in a dark, shady meeting room "The situation is coming to it's end. The heroes have gained control, and the specimens have been destroyed." The man says, pointing at the screen in front of them. "Alright? Disappointing result." Came the voice of a woman. Sharp, and cold. "I had been hoping for better data. Even if the Nano Swarm was destroyed." "Uhahaha, you're always Disappointed. Oh! Camara three! Ohhh yeah baby! Mhhhh, oooh, very nice!" a deep voiced man chuckles, pointing at the alien and girl who were getting a little steamy. "You disgusting pig. I think we've all seen enough." The woman says again. The lights come up, and the video feed cuts out. The deep voiced man snorts, irritated. "Well, did we get what we hoped for?" "....Yes" Says the man at the head of the table. "Move the program to phase two."

Her face close enough that she can feel her hot breath, she can't help but look into her beautiful eyes, and those cheeks... Wow, En Garde actually looks really cute up close! Getting a little distracted by En Garde's attractiveness, I barely noticed Man-Ant snapping pictures. Wait hold on this is not what I want to be known foooor! Throwing En Garde off in a surprising burst of strength, I jump up and barrage Man-Ant with hundreds of energy beams. "Don't do that to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! >_<" One of the energy beams connects with his phone, vaporizing it completely and utterly. Directly Engage Ant-Man: 2d6-1 7 Taking away his phone...'s existence.

I go underground for like five seconds, come back upstairs and everyone is...even Supernova and...her. I drop my cargo with almost no regard for where they land and stare at the shocking display of public affection for a long, painful instant. This isn't fair, it really isn't. No, I'm not crying! I just got some nerve gas in my eye! You're crying! Shut up! God, there aren't even any ants left to bash since G-Pink looks like she's pied pipering them away to drown. I guess I'll have to take emotional refuge in being abrasive and immature. I cup my hands to make a megaphone and yell: "Hey! If you nerds are finished making out while I do all the work you should come take these civilians to a hospital or something. And take a look at my com-link, it must be busted because no-one acknowledged all my sit-reps!" Provoke Supernova (Frustrating Megumi): 2d6+2 5 marking potential, eating a hard move Did they even hear me? Did I stay shrunk or something and now no-one is paying me any attention? I sure as hell feel small. I look down at the dudes I rescued - at least they should appreciate my work - and...did I forget to bring up the captive? Oh, poo poo! I had intended to bring the guy I knocked out as well, but if I left him behind it's also funny in a tragic way

Freak: +2 | Danger: -1 | Savior: +0 | Superior: +2 | Mundane: +0 Potential: 1/5 Yes! That did it, finally, we're all back to normal size! I turn to give Megumi a satisfied smile when the growing building shakes and knocks us both over! "Whoa!" Normally I would have just floated upright, ignoring the feeble Earth 'gravity', but with Megumi holding onto me, a lot of my weight was caught up with hers, and down we go. Tangled together, my eyes can't look away from her lips, so close to mine, and I can do nothing to ignore the intense closeness of her body, her warmth and the wild thoughts that have been running through my brain since she touched my tail like that. I can't help it, I kiss her! It's invigorating, and I lose myself in it for a moment, my tail curling around her as we lay there on the rocking building, focused entirely on her lips. And then Feral's call breaks through, like a cold shower, and I push Megumi away - gently, but still away. Oh no! I shouldn't have done that! I jolt upright, floating away from her, looking intensely upset. "Sorry- forget that happened Megumi!" Wait, no, no, focus here, your a Princess, the Crown Empress, you didn't do anything wrong. "I mean," I cough, "that was for... your help. Yes. I'm sure you enjoyed it." I hurry away, back down towards the others. "Feral! Who did you say needed help?" When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, take Influence over them if you show them meaningful affection, physical or emotional. They decide if it’s meaningful. Well, Megumi?

Freak: +1 | Danger: +2 | Savior: -1 | Superior: 0 | Mundane: +1 Potential: 1/5 As I hold Supernova, I can see her shots hitting their mark, and I silently cheered in my head as the world starts to right itself. In my head, numbers start rolling as I consider how strong the device could be, how to make it better, etc. I'm in the middle of calculating some partial derivatives in my head when a sudden shake rattles me and throws my balance off. I gasp as Supernova's weight is thrown in top of me, sending me tumbling to the floor and - tangled up with Supernova - I go limp, both to limit any injury and to give Supernova a chance to extract herself first. Her weight is entirely on top of me - that pleasant, alien scent of hers surrounds me - and as I look up at her face, she looks back with something my brain just can't quite parse. Excitement? Fear? Whatever it is, it doesn't come close to preparing me for what happens next. She leans in and - and she's kissing me! For a second, it's like my entire brain shuts down, just overwhelmed by the unexpected and intimate action. Time stops, and for the life of me, all I can think about are the hours and hours spent in "courting lessons," some horrible idea that my mother had to "expand" our education. Most of it was manners and traditions from god knows how many centuries of pointless cultural appropriation - but one embarrassment-filled week was spent in horrifying detail of intimate matters. I distinctly remember the "final exam" of sorts - my mother had arranged for some Parisienne playboy to be present in my bedroom when I went to bed that night. Rather than any form of foreplay, I just chastised him and brought up women's suffrage and he promptly fled. But this... this is entirely different. This is... a friend... the team leader! And here she is... throwing herself at me - in full public view, mind you - on an active battlefield. My brain sputters back into being as questions flood upward. Is this all because I touched her tail? Or has she been hiding feelings towards me, all this, albeit short, time? Or... is this just how her people celebrate near-certain victory? She certainly hasn't done this before! However, as her lips press warmly on mine, and as her tail wraps gently around me, I find myself... enjoying every moment of it! Here we are, Supernova and I, locked in an intimate embrace, giving a massive middle finger to the world and its pomp and circumstance and Parisienne playboys. No, this is exactly what I was looking for when I fled my parents - the freedom to do unexpected and exciting things. And save the world of course. Of course it has meaning! Take Influence! Also marking potential because drive fulfilled! So, I think, screw it! This is happening, embrace it! I find the courage in myself to reach up with my hands, to pull her into me, to return the passionate kiss with one of my own... but she's not there! I open my eyes and she's... pushed herself up off of me, the look on her face one of disgust and regret. And as I lean upwards to look around, Feral's not the only one looking shocked - but she definitely looks angry. Oh... she shouted something didn't she... chastising us for... for our display. My stomach drops and I start to feel numb as the cold realization of what just happened starts to sink in. And Supernova's words that follow... she's - she's saying that it's just for helping her. But that's not what it felt like... Supernova darts back to the fight and I'm left half-laying, half-sitting on this stupid shaking building where I had my first kiss and I just feel... horrible. Like everything that led up to this point was in vain, like the kiss meant nothing, like my parents were right all along. And I scramble to my feet, and look out over the battlefield, and even though we're winning, I just feel defeated. I feel like everything I've been telling myself since I left my parent's house has been a lie. A sob escapes my lips and I find myself looking for an exit - anything will do. I just need to get out of here as fast as possible and... and think. Megumi is leaving the scene unless somebody stops her Frgrbrgr fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Freak: -1 | Danger: 0 +3 | Savior: 0 | Superior: +1 | Mundane: +3 0 Conditions: | Potential: 2/5 | Location: Sizing up the situation. Getterman Pink climbs out of the drone, her small size has been extremely useful but its time for her to get back to normal size. She jumps across the ants using them as her bounding boards to get to the shrink ray while the two team members are *ahem* busying themselves she digs into the system while it is in possession by Supernova, doing a hack job she manages to reverse the effect however there is a loud pop and fears that the machine would screw up. Just incase she clings to her clothing and waits as she grows to her normal size - and sighs a sigh of relief...but then worries that she messed the shrink ray even worse, worriedly she starts to try and undo the changes she made but its no use she is too big now to actually do anything to fix it. She sighs and looks down, embarrassed beyond belief that she couldn't fix the system. quote:Megucabagels rolling power unleash Senior Scarybagels fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Freak: -1 | Danger: -1 | Savior: +2 | Superior: +1| Mundane: +2 Potential: 4/5 For a scrawny little nerd he could move pretty fast and could hit pretty hard. I tumbled over and landed on top of Aurora. We were close and I was acutely aware of how thin my costume was and how close we were to each other I could see her stare into my eyes and I was glad my mask hid most of my blushing. Then of course Ant-guy had to ruin the moment with his crass comment. Not that anything was going to happen of course. I'm not into that sort of thing and certainly wouldn't consider dating a teammate. no matter how hot they look up close. Aurora threw me off with ease and I leapt to my feet. I shook my head to clear it a little and then turned to the villain? What was he hoping to achieve by this little display? I mean the ants were beaten and It was only a matter of time before we hauled him away to jail. What would it take to get him to just give up?

Ahh, but I have to do my job and lead the team here, an Empress can't be distracted by something like this right now. I'll talk to her later, explain. Turning my back to her again, I fly towards Feral, and snap my fingers. "Hey! Who did you say needed help, come on, come on!" As I do, I pull out my communicator to send Megumi a message. @Megumi posted:We'll talk later.

[quote="thatbastardken" post="464944446"] Freak: +2 | Danger: +3 | Savior: -1 | Superior: +1 | Mundane: -2 Potential: 2/5 I had a savage retort ready to go for when Supernova finally deigned to get over here but it dries up in my mouth. It's just...really difficult to be angry at her, and I say that as a professionally angry person. "These...um...scientists, I guess? They were down in the ant lair they were knocked out when I got there I think they hit their heads and got gassed a bit they should probably go to a hospital. Cough andtherewasabadguydownthereandithinkiforgottobringhimupwithme Cough!" Um. Do I sound nervous? I feel kind of nervous. "Uh...how did everything go up here? Looks like it's all under control?"

Getterman Pink The ants follow the device and walk right into the water. They immediately start running into troubles. You can't help but feel bad... I mean, they look like they really don't like it. In an, oh god we're drowning kinda way. Eugh. Aurora & En Garde The Man-Ant dives for cover! His phone getting blown to smithereens. "Ahhh! You're not CUTE! YOU'RE NOT NICE AT ALL!!!" He screams at Aurora Angel! He sounds so betrayed! So hurt! His words cut right through Aurora. He pulls out a little sphere. "This Ant Bomb will show you! You horrible little liar!!!" Uh oh, looks like you've got him spoiling for a fight! Aurora, Mark ether Guilty or Insecure. You kinda majorly overreacted in a way that's not heroic in the slightest. En Garde looks at the Man-Ant, he's behaving more like a fan that a bad guy! It's weird, it's almost like he was slightly hypnotised into working with you...! He does seem to be entierly focused on Aurora. He can't take his eyes off of her. Like he's obsessed. Maybe if she told him to, maybe he would.... maybe? Megumi You start to leave, but a heavy hand falls on your shoulder. Your brother stops you from leaving, he pulls you into a massive hug. "Oh, my dear sister, come on. They don't deserve your brilliance." He starts to lead you away, back to his little base. Away from your team. Away from your friends. That reporter lowers his camera, a worried expression on his face. He got that kiss on camera, and the fall out following it. But he says nothing. Thrown for a loop. Feral & Supernova The two scientist look really really unwell. Like they should be on life support unwell. My god. What the hell happened to them?! Feral can't help but notice that Supernova is messaging Megumi! OH COME ON! Feral, mark Angry What do you all do?

I wipe away the tears - this is not the time to show weakness. I read the text message from Supernova impassionately, then close my comm. This is... no - it's all a lie. I don't know why she's treating me like this - but the only explanation is that she wants to embarrass me. And it worked. A heavy hand rests itself upon my shoulder. I look up... and see my brother's caring face. His distress is entirely gone, replaced by the kind man that I know and love. My heart leaps as he speaks clearly - unbroken by the influence of my parents. I nod, then wrap him in a warm hug. "Yeah... let's get out of here." I let him guide me out of the building and out into an alleyway near the square. From a distance, I can still see my probably-former team mopping up the last of the ants and taking care of scientists. I wonder if any of them will try to stop me.

Freak: +2 | Danger: +3 | Savior: -1 | Superior: +1 | Mundane: -2 Potential: 2/5 Hi, Feral! This is your conscious mind talking! Please, please, please do not start smashing poo poo at random! I know your adrenal responses are off the charts right now but- wait. Adrenal response...militarized insecticide...odorless gas... VX, probably. gently caress me. Thank Maelstrom for designing your biology to withstand a hostile NBC environment later, but these scientists are going to die without immediate help. "Supernova, wait! Don't touch them, if the gas is still on their skin it could affect you! I'm probably contaminated as well but I'll survive. We need Aurora to get these guys to a specialized military hospital for treatment. Unless you can synthesize atropine, pralidoxime, and diazepam on the spot, that is. Aurora, get over...hang on" I thought they took care of that jerk? Well, here's an outlet for my distress. I pick up a chunk of concrete rubble and fling it at his back: Directly engage Ant Man: 2d6+3 9 Taking something (Aurora Angel) from him, exchanging blows probably "Aurora, stop screwing around with that and take these guys to...ugh, I don't know where the proper hospital is! Find Megumi and ask her, but do it quickly, these guys don't have long!"

I move in closer to pick them up so I can fly them off to an EMT team or something, when Feral shouts out a warning. Hastily, but with dignity, I retreat backwards, leaving them to rest there untouched. "No... No I can't. Unless you have a medical device I could work with, anyway." I might be able to modify a human medical machine to properly treat them. Feral is busy tossing rocks though, so I let out a short sigh, and look around for our resident genius. Where is she? I can't spot her... Even more irritated, I pull out our communicator again and switch it to voice. "Megumi? Come over here please, we need your genius brain, otherwise these guys might die." I think a little of my (suppressed) affection might have sounded through that.

Freak: +1 | Danger: +2 | Savior: -1 | Superior: 0 | Mundane: +1 Potential: 1/5 Supernova's plea causes me to freeze in place. Her message earlier, it was just personal - and painful to see her writing me off as just a footnote when clearly something bigger is going on. I mean, I don't even know how I feel about her but... that feeling of proving myself, of embodying the person I want to be, it's intoxicating. And here I am, running away from it all. I look forward at my brother, who has now paused and is looking back at me, and I can't help but feel like I've been here before. Had this opportunity before. Relied on him before. And if I follow this path again, I'll just end up back where I was. No. I don't want that. I don't want to just endlessly follow the same twisted path. I need to do this on my own, even if it means leaving my brother behind. Just the thought of it leaves my mouth dry. But a small part of me knows - has always known - that this was always how it was going to be. My brother - pawn of my parents - I can only help free him so much. And it's ultimately up to him on what life he chooses to lead. I just hope - I pray - that it doesn't lead to us being on opposite sides. I take a brave step forward, then reach up and cup my brother's face, staring deeply into his clear eyes. He nods, then plants a kiss on my cheek. We hug for a moment, then he turns abruptly and leaps off into the distance. With a sigh, I spin and run back to the plaza. "On my way," I manage, holding back tears. Luckily, I've regained control by the time I get to Supernova and Feral, and the injured scientists. I push myself past a growing crowd of onlookers and try my best to ignore Supernova's gaze at I kneel down and begin to inspect the injured. Unleash to overcome lack of medical knowledge = 7 Going to mark guilty to save the people I... I know what's going on. Whatever gas it was, it's restricting vascular flow to their cranial nerve cortex. And that's on top of massive blood loss. No time to think - I pull off my shirt, revealing a small pink sports bra with basically nothing worth writing home about underneath, and quickly tear it into strips while kicking off my shoes. With one hand, I undo the laces, while the other is feeling for special nerve clusters in each of their necks. There! I roll one scientist over and quickly loop the makeshift bandage around his chest, where most of the bleeding is, and secure the man's coat over the largest wound. Then, same thing with the other. The bleeding halted, I get to worth massaging their nerve clusters to resume blood flow to the critical areas. As I work, color starts to return to their faces. They won't wake up anytime soon... but hopefully brain damage has been limited, if not prevented entirely. Exhausted but confident that they'll make it until paramedics arrive, I stand up and send a look Supernova's way. With a twirl, I throw on one of the scientist's discarded lab coats. "Need anything else?" I ask dispassionately, equally afraid to show her my emotions as I am to feel them myself. Frgrbrgr fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Oct 12, 2016 |
