Superhuman S: L.A. Lockdown [IC]

[BeautifullyYou]

Linkin shook out her fur. Being a large animal was normal to her, but the feelings were different than being a feline. Noticing her wagging tail, she turned and chased it. This went on for a few minutes until she stumbled and fell on her face with a yelp.

It was like he had suddenly gotten ADHD, his mind jumped from one thought to another and he couldn't focus on one thing for more than a few seconds. He kept thinking of the many things he may be able to change into, of all the animals he had touched in his life. What his favorite animals were, the bald eagle and the Snow Wolf. Come to think of it Lou had touched a snow wolf before, at a zoo, he quickly grew exited about the idea and thought about the animal. He went through very little transformation, his fur grew long and turned a beautiful white, his snout shortened a bit and his ears grew curved. Then his entire body grew by almost half the size he was before. The end result was a massive, glorious snow wolf. His playfulness gave way to an attitude almost just like his normal one, serious and observant.

"Down boy, sit. Well, it seems you figured out your powers. I think I have it easier, my powers are straightforward. Punch things, they break. Simple powers for a simple guy I guess, haha"

Alyx finished setting up all the equipment in the basement I think we are ready he sat down in front of a large computer screen and started to type waiting for them to call...he started coughing uncontrollably he used his sleeve to stop it, that was the problem with his powers he couldn't use then to often or else this would happen, he pulled his arm away it had blood on it, great...oh well Alyx started wondering where the others were he wanted to tell them about his house but they were probably dead by now....most were but I guess they could probably handle themselves and wouldn't need my help anyways....

Linkin barked a laugh at Johnny, then shifted back into her human form. Brushing her fingers in her hair, she looked down at the snow-white colored wolf. "Wow. You're kinda beautiful," she remarked quietly, leaning down to scratch Lou behind his ears.

"So we're going to get my men to rob all those new government built gold reserves?" Vargas asked after Gabriel carefully explained the plan. Naturally, due to L.A banks no longer being funded by outside sources, The Mayor has taken a controversial yet necessary step to keep the economy in working order, he got the police to forcefully take all privately owned gold in the city, built lots of gold reserves around the city and is planning to use the gold to back a temporary Californian Dollar to keep everything running.

"That's right. And the plan starts as soon as I press this big red button. You see all communications will be gone s-" Vargas gestured him to be silent.

"So The Police and any do-gooders won't know it's going to happen until it's too late and we're all rich men! I was listening, amigo." Vargas told him firmly, obviously he didn't like to be talked to like he was stupid.

"But how do I know my men will return with the gold?"

"You make sure you know everyone that's doing this and if they don't come back. You track them down and kill them. Should be easy to find, you know they'll be in this city. They can't leave remember?"

He slowly considered it. While Gabriel mocked him in his thoughts about how long he's taking to think about it after three seconds of silence. ...Fat mentally challenged scumbag. Gabriel just sat there quietly, pretending to be patiently waiting for him to make a decision.

"Alright, Mr. Fawkes. You have a deal." The fat man smiled greedily, lusting after all the wealth he'll have after this.

"Good. When do we go?"

"Soon. Let me make some calls, we'll do it tonight. Keep the jammer here for now."

"My apologies Mr Vargas, but I can't do that. We've only just met and if I just gave you this jammer, there'd be no reason for you to keep your end of the bargain."

"And what should stop from just killing you and taking it for myself?!" A sinister look spread across the ugly man's chubby face.

Typical. Does he really think I'm that I'm that dumb?

He pointed to the number pad on the device. "Because you don't know the password." He said, returning a smile, showing he isn't the tiniest bit afraid of the man.

The fat mobster snarled at Gabriel for a moment, trying still to intimidate him. "Deal. I promise you I will keep my end of the bargain."

"Alright, make sure you send as many supes as you can. We'll need them."

"Fair enough. I'll need to make alot of calls and make contact with the other crime lords in town. And maybe some gangs too. I'm sure they'll make a truce if we let them in on it. We'll need as many men as we can get, cause we'll want to rob as many places as we can. Meet us here tonight I'll be done by then."

Gabriel nodded, he quickly wrote his fake name "Guy Fawkes" and a number to his cellphone, which he planned to destroy when this was over. "When you need me gentlemen, there's my card. By the way, don't let the Russians in on this. Personal reasons." Vargas nodded at him in response. He put the large device back in his bag and quickly walked out the building, going back to his car. He started the car again, this time he decided to go home to his room in a cheap hotel. He quickly got into the building after he arrived and got into his room, sat on his bed and switched the News on, planning to stay there for a few hours.

It was all coming to his plan...

Lou sat for a minute, with the girl scratching behind his ears, until he heard something. It was the scream of a little girl. It had to have been a few blocks away, because even he could barely hear it. Lou immediately took off toward the noise barking and howling.

[Detective Scott]

Johnny heard the scream as well, though not as loud as Lou would.
"Sounds like a kid, we gotta go help her. Probably more fucking Bloods. They're even attacking children now. Bastards." Johnny ran in the direction of the scream. He found an alley, and heard screaming from within. A little girl in a pink dress was sobbing.
"Lou, go act cute, maybe it'll calm her down."

[Crimsonpaladin]

Lou ran fast and hard, disregarding whether or not he had backup. Soon he could hear the screams intensify as if going through torture, a girls voice screaming bloody murder. Lou couldn't help but think that it may be her that is screaming in such pain and agony, it hurt him deeply even to think of it. The more he thought about it the faster and harder he ran, the more angry he became at the unknown enemy and the more protective he became over the thing making the noise.

" I told you that you would fail her, that you were weak, and that you would be far too late." an evil, terrifying voice said, booming throughout his skull. Lou ignored the voice as best he could, and ran harder to feel the pain in his legs and avert his mind." Do not ignore me boy, I am part of you now. You'll just have to learn to live with that."

" No, you are not a part of me. You are nothing more than a troublesome, cancerous figment of my imagination." He said, though to others it would've sounded like a weird combination of whimpers and barks.

" You see, that is where you are mistaken. I am part of you, and soon, you will be only a part of me. Then after that, you will be nothing, and I will be everything." it taunted, stabbing at Lou with a metaphorical spear in his subconscious. Lou slowed down, hindered slightly by the words. He tripped, falling over a piece of rubble that he had seen and even taken measures to avoid, but something moved his paw back down just low enough to trip him. Lou fell hard onto the asphalt, scraping his skin under his fur and throwing him into the side of a broken down car. He stood up, but had to fight to do so. It was like his muscles had lost the will to listen to him, like something else was commanding them.

" You see, you are weak and pathetic. Your love is screaming in agony, likely being raped or tortured, and you can't even get up to save her. You can't even get up to save her." the taunting hit him hard, but not with the kind of result the voice was likely intending. Lou used all his willpower and stood up straight and tall. He walked toward the sound, every step a battle between him and this voice inside him that was trying to discourage his advance. Each step growing a little bit easier until he was trotting, then he was jogging, then he was sprinting. Again off to rescue her, from this unknown and hated danger that would dare to hurt her. Lou howled mightily and was soon upon the scene.

[Detective Scott]

Johnny put his hand on Lou's shoulder.
"Stay calm. There's nobody else there. She's fine. Keep cool. I'll see what's wrong." Johnny stepped up to her, kneeling down.
"Hey, don't cry little girl. Nobody's gonna hurt you. Do you know where your parents are?" He put one hand on her shoulder and instantly regretted the decision. A swarm of flies erupted from her body, wrapping around Johnny. She screamed again, flies erupting from her eyes and mouth, making a noise like a devilish banshee.
"OH GOD, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! OH GOD! KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER!" Johnny rolled around on the ground, attempting to knock away the bugs.
