Well this was going to be awkward. He always slept with his shirt off. Well...might as well go balls deep, he told himself. WAIT. THAT WAS NOT A GOOD EXPRESSION. He did his kung fu breathing exercises, and took his shirt off and slipped into the bed, making himself comfortable and feeling her warm body next to his. He put his hands behind his head and did his best to think about things like baseball and video games. He grinned though. Laying like this, it looked like they just got done with a good night. Slowly, he drifted off to sleep, eyes growing heavier and heavier.

~Wonderful~ was was what Evergreen thought when she heard the call for assistance.

So stepping out into the hall to go and attend her patient she was unprepared for an attack her mind occupied which the concerns of a Doctor.

She was skewered like a kabob by two elongated fingers through the collarbone. The attacker wasn't alone and didn't want her dead; just in pain. The owner of those fingers was a particularly evil looking young woman who smiled with dark satisfaction.

"Ello girly might trouble you for a moment?" said a weasely faced man looking over the shoulder of her torturer.

"Please, it hurts" whimpered Amelia knowing that she had to keep them distracted less they notice she didn't bleed from her wounds.

"I know, I know but tell us where to find the Ervonator or whatever the bloody healing machine is called and I'll ask Tabitha to stop" offered the weasel in mock sympathy.

Amelia now understood the real danger and decided to use the nasty duo to play a bit of a prank and remove the monstrosity from her lab area.
"It's in the room behind me and looks like a huge MRI."

"Thank you kindly.

Tabs sweetheart we don't need her anymore; scrap her."
Said the horrid little man.

Tabitha jerked her fingers free from Evergreen's shoulders then plunged one through her heart and the other through her forehead to insure Amelia was dead.

It took about three minutes before Evergreen's healing factor repaired her brain damage enough to allow the redheaded doctor think properly.

Her first thought was evacuate her present location before her attacker's discovered their folly and her second was to attend to the call she'd received for help.

Once inside the HQ Omega walked about with a perplexed look on his face. He was not sure what was going on, but the place looked out of place. The alarms were not blaring so he figured he had missed a good fight with some Metas while he had been dealing with the monster in the city. I always miss the good stuff. I hate those little rats. Omega thought as he entered his room. He was glad to see all was in place, because he was more than ready to lay on his bed again.

"Huh" He let out as he heard his name being called just before his phone rang. "What does everyone want? I'm trying to relax." He said aloud before answering his phone. "What?"

"Is that you greet an old friend, Omega? Wait, it usually is, isn't it?" A raspy voice said over the phone. Omega furrowed his eyebrows before speaking.

"T, how did you get my number? And what do you want? I don't do heists anymore." Omega said to the old associate. The man chuckled on the line.

"Well that's perfect. I'm not calling about you taking something, it's more about giving something back." The man on the line said with a pause. Omega's eyes looked to the closet before smirking. "Remember that thing I had you steal, well the original owners... and I mean the ones who created it, want it back."

"So they're buyers?" Omega smiled.

"No, they're takers! And they want you to bring it back to them!" T snapped. "Just give it to them!" The man sounded a bit frantic. Omega became a bit more serious as he walked over to his closet and opened the chest containing the sphere.

"To who? Who's there with you?" Omega questioned as the sphere opened up to reveal the bracers.

"Omega, just bring it to my estate, now!" T demanded before hanging up. Omega narrowed his eyes before holding his arms out and using his TK to place the bracers on.

"Tia, I'm going to get something personal taken care of. I'll be back before tomorrow... Am I good to go?" It pained him to ask permission, but this team thing was growing on him.

Tia was on the sixth floor taking inventory with the scientists. She needed to know exactly what was missing when Omega called and asked if he could take the rest of the day off for personal matters. "Sure thing Omega we have enough around here right now to cover whatever happens. Hey, good job today. Oh, have you seen Shiver in the last hour?"

Omega raised an eyebrow.

"No prob... And actually, I think she called for me... to help move some things." He said cleverly... or so he thought at first. Someone with super strength needing help moving things... I hope Tia is too distracted to notice that bs story.

Omega switched the channel on his comms to link specifically to Shiver.

"Hey Shiver, everything good? The boss lady is looking for ya." Omega said as he started exiting his room.

@Wick

Shiver awoke when she heard Omega's voice. "Hmm? Tell her you haven't seen me but that I said I was going out or something. I can't talk to her now. She can't find out." she mumbled sleepily. As she awoke she realized what she said and panic set in. "No, Michael just tell her that you saw me and I am okay. I'm kinda hiding from her right now." Shiver got out of bed realizing that Ro'kun had left while she was sleeping. She bent over to grab her towel that had fallen off and she groaned in pain. Omega heard this.

@funnyguy@poohead189

Omega thought he was ready to leave,but found himself in the hallway listening to Shiver over comms in confusion.

"You okay?" He asked as he heard her groan in pain after her frantic demeanor over comms. "Umm if you need anything, now is the time to tell me. I'm leaving soon." Omega said with his perplexed look still on his face.

"Leaving? When are you coming back? I...I have a problem. Can you meet me?" Shiver was still very weak and the only thing by way of clothes was her bikini everything else is in her room. "Crap, Can you come to room 25?" She asked while trying to tie her bikini top. "Fuck it! That hurts too much." She sighed. "Please it will only take a few minutes to explain." She waited by the door for him with her bikini top on the bed and a holding a towel across her chest.

Shiver opened the door just enough for him to come in and when he did she pulled him inside. "I'm sorry I'm not decently dressed but you will understand in just a moment." She shut and locked the door. "I'm entrusting you with a life and death secret but I trust you so here goes nothing. "She turned around slowly and let him see her back, shoulders and arms that were nearly black with bruising.

@funnyguy@poohead189

Ro'kun had gone to work out, lifting 4 times his body weight as a light warm up. He performed flips, practiced his kung fu, and managed to break a sweat. He decided to grab a small snack, and balance it on both hands before making his way back to his room to see if Shiver needed anything. He kicked the door open, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, soda, and water bottles in his arms and hands. "HONEY I'M HOOOOoooooo....oome...hey Omega."

Miles gave a kiss to Tia's cheek before heading out Once I'm healed up, I'm taking care of this shit immediately...alright? See ya babe... He said heading off to go retrieve Glitch first so that he could get healed before Miles himself. After rushing outside when passing the fire department, Miles caught sight of Glitch under the rubble. He was still breathing but his vitals were slowing from what he saw. He picked him up and placed him up on his shoulders and headed to Evergreen's office.

He became invisible coating Glitch as well. He was still fuming over the ass beating he took and he didn't think to see if Evergreen was attacked during the intrusion. Making it to the office, he looked around to see where she was located presently, making himself visible again, laying Glitch down on the table.

When Omega saw Shiver's back he winced, but took a step forward to touch it. He stopped however as he realized something was off. "Can't you heal?" He said as he noticed the room to be a little too masculine for Shiver. He raised an eyebrow as his eyes landed on Shiver's bra on the bed. "What..." Just before he could finish, Ro'kun bust through the door with food in his grasps.

On any other occasion, Omega would have laughed at Ro'kun's entrance, but everything he had seen in the last minute pieced together in the worst way possible. Shiver being looked for by Tia, Shiver in hiding and sounding fearful, The superficial bruises on her back, the bra on the bed meaning she was undressed, Ro'kun's room, Ro'kun's super strength, life and death secret....

Omega's face turned cold and emotionless before Ro'kun was pinned to the farthest wall from him. Food went flying across the room as if Ro'kun had tossed them up. Omega raised a hand towards Ro'kun to keep him there as his eyes turned to Shiver's back.

"Did he do this to you?" Omega asked coldly. "Tell the truth or I'm bringing more than just Tia into this." Omega did not even bother to look at Ro'kun. He wouldn't until Shiver answered.

@POOHEAD189@Wick

Shiver put her hand on his arm and looked him in the eyes. "No! Michael Ro'kun is helping me hide from Tia. He didn't do this. Please let him go. I couldn't tie my bikini top so I just left it off and decided the towel would do." Shiver looked at Ro'kun. "This is from this morning at the building. When I yelled as the building started to fall I saw a kid inside and I teleported to him. I got him out and I got back to the HQ but after that my powers went down."

Shiver walked over to the bed and grabbed her bikini top and walked into the bathroom keeping the door open enough for Michael to hear her. She dropped the towel on the counter and tied the top part of the bikini and pulled it over her head and pulled it over her breasts and walked out to Omega and turned around so he could tie it for her. She winced as he did. Her nerve endings had her pain levels on high.

"A couple of years ago I found out about a genetic defect I inherited from my mother. If I overexert myself too much my two active powers stop working. So right now my ice powers and teleportation powers are down. Tia doesn't know this. If she did she would never send me out on anything. She would keep me in the kiddie arena. I don't want that. Since Ro'kun and I are buds, I asked him to help me hide out from Tia til my powers come back. And the best part...no one else can heal me and there is no cure for it because it is in my DNA. So I am suffering because of it."

"i'm also worried about Tia. When Wicked finds out what happened today Tia is going to lose her position and Wicked will show up here and mom always puts every responsibility on Tia. She is the 'role model' for me so she holds her to a higher standard. Tia will suffer in some way for what happened today. Since I am the co-captain of the ship so to speak I will end up with Tia's job and I have no active powers right now." She agitatedly pulls her hair up into a pony tail. "I know Ro'kun will help me. Will you?"

Shiver looked over at Ro'kun who was picking his food up off of the floor and grumbling about it. She smirked at him and looked up at Michael. "I can't stay in my room because Tia is right across the hall and she wouldn't hesitate to walk in if she wanted to. I told Ro'kun to tell her that he had me tied to a bed for kinky sex. If that doesn't keep her out of here I can't think of what will." She half smiled and looked like she was in pain. Shiver walked into his personal space and hugged him and leaned into him weakly. "I hope that is okay. I know we don't know each other very well but...I don't know, there is something there."

Amelia checked the lab carefully after waiting a few moments thinking it better to better not to involve anyone in stopping these two brutal monsters because they might be killed. Peeking through the door she was slightly surprised to find out that they were already gone and they'd stolen the useless monstrosity.

She actually laughed as she pictured their surprise when they discovered they'd stolen a pile of junk but went silent as soon as she saw the door opening.

She dove into her supply closet in case her attacker's had returned. It took her a few moments to get the nerve to peek out and see who was in her lab where she saw Miles laying someone on her operation table.

"Rey!" she exclaimed as she rushed to his side.

Her hands were on him and her power telling her everything about his injuries before she risked healing him an sealing up a foreign object inside him. The once satisfied she poured her ability into him to repair the damage he'd suffered.

Then once he'd healed she began showering his face with kisses.
"Rey, Rey, Rey; your safe and here with me."

Hours after starting the rescue attempt, the authorities finally declared the building empty of survivors. Guiding one last man through the mountain of debris, Erin slid her small body through the opening to the surface, a fireman pulling her up to the ground. She staggered away from the fallen building and sat on the ground, her face red and her breathing labored. She was beyond exhausted.

Sure, she had super-powers, but she still had a limit to her stamina. After hours of climbing through the mountain of rubble, she was positive that all of her stamina had been drained to its fullest extent. As she stood to go to her motorcycle, a line of policemen and firemen stopped her. About two-dozen of them gave her a silent salute. She nodded, and they understood. She climbed on her bike and began riding back towards the HQ. She'd heard about the damage at HQ, but the real thing that plagued her mind was the one-hundred-and-fifty confirmed deaths from this accident.

When she arrived back at HQ, she parked her bike, and made her way back towards her Suite. When she got there, she went into the bathroom and stripped to her undergarments. She was covered in dirt, but she was otherwise unscathed. Impenetrable skin meant no cuts or bruises. Instead of showering and dressing in cleans clothes, she just walked in her undressed state, to the couch. Without any clever quips, her usual jokes, or her sarcastic remarks to herself, she nearly collapsed against the sofa and fell asleep the moment her head hit the cushions.

When miles looked around, he already noticed Ever hiding in the supply closet but decided to let her come out on her own. When she noticed Rey, Miles didn't speak, but watched as she came running over to Rey. As he was getting heal, he could heal himself healing back to health as he was conscious but kept his eyes closed until feeling Ever kissing all over, making him unable to hold his smile Hey....Ever....wish I could get those smooches more often.... he said in a near whisper. Those magic hands of yours....they never fail. but...I know I've failed...

Miles watched and came forward Welcome back gadget man.... he looked over to Ever Were you attacked? I should've came to check on you when we were attacked earlier. and...the ones that attacked Glitch and I...they took some of Glitch's stuff.

Glitch looked over Maaaaan now Tia and Erin are really going to kick my ass and cut my Oscar Mayer off for punishment....wait...did Erin's weapon get taken? Miles shrugged to that question.

@RumikoOhara

Jessica had been in put into a daze that could only be described as power drunk but still managed to sense the unique magnetic traces of the living evacuating the damaged structure before she tried to lower it to the ground in a slowed and controlled manner only to have it slip through her energy field as the warped Van Allen belts snapped but to their natural state. The effect on her was akin to a drug overdose nearly killing her as the magnetic weight of the nearby Golden Gate and all the iron and steel pummeled her tortured body like invisible hammers but somehow she endured.

She turned to fly home and was too weak to control her field accurately which put her in power loop that was expanding exponentially. ~ "Danger, danger, danger!" ~ was the only thought she could understand before her intensive training took over and she turned away from the city and followed a current far out to sea accelerating to a speed that she normally would have never attempted as she broke the sound barrier.

Her flimsy bikini was torn from her body was the air compressed inside her field which wasn't strong enough to protect her.

She was lost in a magnetic storm that she knew instinctively couldn't be released till she was as far from civilization as she could get. How long or far she flew she couldn't tell as an electromagnetic pulse built up till she went supernova.

The EMP set off alarms around the world as satellites made to detect nuclear detonations screamed their warnings and for two minutes all magnetic compasses turned towards her from as far away as San Diego.

She felt weightless as she fell from the sky and into the ocean below and would have died in the impact with the water's surface if not for some unknown reason her protective field activated. Still she suffered striking the surface and bouncing like a skipping stone for about a kilometer.

Once she stopped Jess lay on the surface her magnetic field increasing the surface tension to prevent her sinking into the deep.



" Sir asset down (coordinates followed) standing wave detected stable but building." said Petty Officer Standish

Captain White of Her Majesty's special services looked at the reading and got a stern expression as her ordered
"Activate internal neural inhibitor"

"Aye, aye Sir activating" answered Standish as he turned a key and unlocked the control switch then pushed the button.

The Captain looked on an waited for a confirmation code to flash and tell him the deed done his expression not showing any trace of the remorse he felt knowing that he'd just ordered the death by drowning of a 17 year old girl he'd watched grow from a scared child to a young woman.

"We have negative response sir the device is inactive" said Standish in a professional tone that held both relief and dread.

Captain White then ordered the signal boosted and when that too failed he began to show an expression and it was fear.

"Declare a tier 3 alert and dispatch any assets we have to Drifter's location then pray to God we can control this before she goes Geomagnetic and crashes the west coast into the dark ages growls the normally calm and controlled SAS commander.

Captain White then picks up a special phone and makes a call to his superiors.

Omega hugged Shiver back but kept the pressure toward her lower back. He honestly felt bad about what was going on, but he was also getting annoyed by how stressed these girls got when it came to Wicked. He pulled back and looked at Shiver seriously.

"Listen, I know you want to keep this under wraps, but you're gonna have to see the Doc about those bruises at least. It can end up worse if you leave it alone. I'm sure Evergreen will keep everything confidential. She's a doctor after all." Omega assured. "That's up to you though... As for Wicked, I'll handle her when I get back and if need be, we'll find someone else to fill the leader role if she pushes Tia to the sidelines." Omega said this as he stood by the doorwayear. He wished he could stay, but he had things to take care of and he wasn't sure of what kind of time limit he had. "See you soon... and my bad Red, I'm sure you would have done the same, right?" With that, Omega made his departure to nowhere else, but Panama.

Red Strike grabbed all of his food, very glad he'd wrapped it all up beforehand. "I guess I don't blame you." he said uneasily. He would have kicked any man's ass who messed with his noms, but this was a once in a lifetime thing. For Omega's sake, he hoped so. "He's right though, I'm sure she'd keep things under wraps. Anyway, want something to eat? It's good to keep your strength up."

He handed her a sandwich and a soda, smiling. He then picked her up and set her on the bed again, making sure she was comfortable first. "How long are you usually out of commission for?" he asked curiously, taking a seat across from her and folding his arms, head tilted.

Amelia laughed softly before saying.
"I wouldn't worry about your Oscar Mayer, I can regrow arms and legs so wieners are easy.

Then she kissed him one last time before standing and adding
"The monstrosity was taken and the two nasty types responsible killed me just before taking it.

What is with all the brutality?

I'd hoped by now that people would have learned how wrong it is to engage in such barbaric practices; even my own grand daughter.

Shiver put on one of the pool robes that would hide her injuries. After making sure she was covered she walked to the medical building taking the long way around so that Tia wouldn't see her and ask her why she looked like she was in pain. Having been raised as sisters the girls knew each other as well as they knew themselves. She asked for Dr. Evergreen and was put in a room to wait for her.

When the Doctor came in Shiver said, "Whatever I tell you you can't tell anyone right?" Starting this with those words piqued the doctor's interest. Shiver started her story after the doctor nodded.

"A couple of years ago I found out about a genetic defect I inherited from my mother. If I overexert myself too much my two active powers stop working. So right now my ice powers and teleportation powers are down. And the best part..." she said sarcastically, "no one else can heal me and there is no cure for it because it is in my DNA. Tia doesn't know this. If she did she would never send me out on anything even remotely dangerous. She would keep me in the office doing paperwork. I don't want that. I have been hiding out from Tia til my powers come back. So I am suffering because of it. I know you can't heal the genetic DNA part but can you help me with this?"

Shiver pulled the robe off carefully and showed the doctor her back in its nearly black bruised state. The robe had irritated her skin and she was shaking a little bit from the pain.
