With a smile planted on his face, Miles met with Tia at the door of her room and when pulled into the room, closing and locking the door, Miles popped his neck, knuckles, and back If you didn't have healing factor....you'd find out, once you go black, you'll end up in a wheel chair.... taking his shirt off getting things started, picking her up and taking her to bed.

Cal had a look of panic as Tia talked to shivers. If she noticed him drinking he would get yelled at...and he hated being yelled at. He managed to nod I response to her acknowledgement. He then went to avoiding eye contact and trying not to have the attention of Tia.

It seemed to work and soon she became...occupied...with...who ever that is he can't remember if he knows him or not since his brain is focused on avoidance tactics. Tia left and cal managed to look back at shivers with an expression of relief. "I'll totally help you clean we ca- before he could finish his sentence shivers kissed him.

The kiss ground his thoughts to a stop. A nice shade of red crept up his face as he froze there...the metaphorical gears in his mind could almost be seen crashing as he tries to process what happened. "uh...o-ok his voice came out in a squeak...yep shivers broke cal. So much he no longer noticed his surroundings or the two other people who entered the area.

Roman lowered Enyo to the ground. He reached back and removed the hair-tie from his ponytail and released his long locks of hair to hang against his shoulders. "Well you know I'm such a extrovert and people person." He muttered sarcastically. "We can go join them, if you'd like."

Erin sat in the pool as everyone else partied. She honestly had no idea what was going on, not that she normally did, anyway. Beside her was a half-empty carton of ice cream and an unopened bottle of beer. She'd managed to swipe it off the bar without much protest from the dude behind it, hiding the fact that she was barely seventeen years old. She'd found that, if your boobs were big enough, a bikini could pretty much get a girl whatever she wanted.

She sighed, submerging herself in the pool up to her nose and blew bubbles in the water. Erin jumped out of the pool and picked up her ice cream, weaving through the crowd to find someone she knew. "Don't know you." She muttered, picking her way through the masses and speaking to each person that she bumped into.

"Excuse me, tiny person coming through."
"Pardon me, sorry, coming through. Why are you even here?"
"Heyo, please don't touch me there, whoops, I did not mean to touch your butt."
"Sorry, make way, dude." She stopped and looked at the guy that she'd just bumped into. "Wow you're pretty."

She finally found Shiver and some new super that she hadn't gotten to meet yet. "So, Shiv, who are these people, and why are they here? Well, actually that one hot dude over there is fine, but who are the rest?" She asked, then glanced up at the new superhero.

"Wow, there's another newbie." She said, then extended her hand, answering ever single question he was probably about to ask. "Erin Dawson; Pixie; Telepathy and Super-Agility; Yes, I'm short; You're hot." She breathed in an exaggerated exhale, then continued, "And... Ice cream?" She extended the carton towards the guy

After getting things settled with Omega, Rey realized that there was a party going on by the pool from what he observed on his HQ monitor. A little upset that he was not invited to the event, he called Amelia Amie!! do you believe this? These guys are having a party without us. I mean..I don't like these getting wasted and getting high, peeing in your pants while passing out with your face in puke and people dancing like horny baboons type parties........but they could've invited us! How about I come and pick you up on my two person scooter and we crash the steamy germs sharing festivity!?

@King Tai


Jess smiled seeing everyone so happy knowing what she did of the pain they'd all been through lately. She often wondered what it must be like to have been raised up with siblings, with peers and even friends.

~The Past is Past and ahead is the Future unknown and unexplored. To dwell in the past is to fall behind and be forgotten~ she thought admonishing herself for self pity

She turned and was about to leave when a soft warm hand dropped on her shoulder. It belonged to the most puzzling Meta of them, it belonged to Evergreen.

To Jessica Amelia was an enigma for in one person she was the most tragic, most passionate and the kindest she'd likely ever know.

"Life is too short to spend it alone.

I know it's scary to deal with situations beyond your training, to expose yourself to pain but it's also how you know you're alive.

You aren't a monster; you're frightening but who here changes tires, tows them off the highway or helps people with the mundane events of life and asks nothing in return?" says the Doctor in a soft and gentle voice

"I only do those things because I'm bored and how did you know I've done those things?" Jesse answers a bit defensively

Amelia laughs softly
"Why from your fans, you have a Facebook page; it's called 'The Pink Angel of Golden Gate' and it gains new followers every day.

The regular people of the city are beginning to love you because they don't see you as a soldier or an officer of the law and it's because you feel compassion for them."

Jesse blushes and turns away from Evergreen's eyes because she can't shake the feeling the much older woman can see right into her.
"I see no reason to be cruel to those lesser forms of evolution any more than I'd just let an animal die or feel pain for no reason, it would be a social flaw and proof that I am not superior to them. They are cruel for no reason, they prey on the weak of their own kind, lie, cheat and kill; I am above such petty emotions."

"How wonderful you are, where ever should we build your temple.

Try such evasions as you like Jesse but I know how warm a person you really are. How lonely and confused and it's easy to understand why; hell you can't even hate the squints who made your life miserable, who called you a monster and used you as an experiment.

You are just lost right now and if you keep running away you'll never find yourself; believe me, I know all about running.

Now I'm off to find a geek who is as under appreciated as I and show him that someone cares. You can runaway once I'm gone if you'd like but you'll miss the party." says Amelia then she kisses Jesse on her lips filling the young girl with an exciting vitality.

By the time Jesse regains her senses the red head is gone.

~She cheats.....what?~ Jess thinks then realizes that Amelia is the first person to kiss her since her mom.





Amelia hears Rey as she steps out of the party and stops to activate her mic.
"Funny you should say that for I've just been at the party making a house call.

I suppose I can wait here outside the door while my healing either takes effect or is ignored.

Later I plan on showing you why I appreciate you doing everything you do."

She giggles as she disconnects

Enyo smiled at his sarcasm. "You know, I think I'd rather just stay here with you." She pushed him into sitting on the bed knocking her suitcase on the floor. From there she didn't need to be picked up and she kissed him again pushing him backwards on the bed chuckling softly as she climbed up.

Shiver blushed a little. "I don't have to clean up. That's what we have maintenance people for. I pay for the party and I pay well so there are no questions. No one checks Id's here. If they did they would find out I was under age by a couple months yet. No worries, I guess they figure if you can put your life on the line every day you can drink in your own home. Besides, I only drank soda. We really need to catch up. Did you notice the statue of my mom outside?"

Cal blinked, his brain working through the information being tossed at him and that helped it 'reboot'. His brain zeroed in mostly on the tail end of the information, but at least he was able to process something. "oh...somehow I managed to miss the statue. Man I missed so much." he rubbed his neck again, feeling a tad awkward still.

Shiver pulled him to the lounge chairs and sat down so they could talk. "My Mom was fully absent and the Angel was in complete control and she was going radioactive so Tia and I had to put her down. Earlier that day we had some crazy stuff going on thanks to The Enhantress and I overexerted my powers so of course they went down. "

"So here I'm powerless when the Angel flipped out! Tia needed help so I did the only thing I could. I talked to Glitch and then I electrocuted myself to jumpstart my powers. Only thing is, it changed 2 of my powers from Ice to electricity and superstrength to Impenetrable skin. I'd love to see me in a hospital. They can't take blood from me." She stopped and stretched a little. "

"We finally doubleteamed her and I distracted her long enough for Tia to kill her and then afterwards she had to blow her molecules apart to keep the angel from regenerating and...it's just been a rough summer." Shiver leaned against him and teased him. "Oh yeah I decided that if you came back I wasn't going to hide my feelings for you anymore. I hope you are okay with that. "

Cal let himself get pulled to the lounge chairs and proceeded to focus intently on what all shivers told him. It was a lot to take in. He actually felt awful that he left and saw his family while she had to stay and go through that. "I am so sorry that happened...and I am so sorry I was not there. his voice was somber and his jaw set. He snorted at the rough summer comment. "understatement, but it most definitly sounds rough. He felt her lean on him and instinctively his arms loosely wrapped around her.

then she dropped a bomb on him. He blinked...and blinked again. she has feelings...for me...has had...feelings... He swallowed and looked at her. "F-feelings? For me?" he heard the awkwardness and mentally face palmed, but he couldn't help it."o-of course i'm okay with that. You're amazing" A+ line there.

Shiver smiled at him. "It's just been crazy and you know me. I'm a little crazy already but in a fun way not the homicidal maniac way."

"Hey Pixie, this is my guy Cal this is Pixie she is knew since you left."

Later after everyone had gone Shiver turned the music off. Shiver and Cal stayed up talking until they fell asleep holding hands.

Rey's face went from determination to devastated to hear she was already at the party Wait! you're already- since when did you- without me- son of a-.....okay....I'll be there... he said sounding like a sulk but perked up when she said she'll wait and also....show him some...appreciation.

Hearign that, he nearly made a troll face, running in the back to get his electric standing scooter, riding it towards the party but before answering back, Amelia hung up giggling. Riding through the halls Yes! we get to R&D our kinks! he said sounding like a nerd who never scored before.

Before long he found Amelia standing there waiting for him at the spot she was at. His scooter hummed over to her. Heheeeeee my hour glass figure wetdream! how are you, Amie?

@King Tai


Amelia laughs softly her malachite green eyes displaying her joy her smile mischievous.
"Dreams are no match for me"

She moves towards him with a hypnotic grace her gaze fixing him to the spot where he stands. Then she kisses him her lips surging with vital energy and every point their bodies touch a warmth that vitializes him restoring him to overflowing.

After getting things settled with Glitch, Omega transported his new piece of equipment to his room, but as the metahuman did so, he heard music on the loud speakers.

Omega chuckled,as he continued into his room. He looked down at his bracers and spoke.

"You think you can connect to this suit?" Omega asked his AI, Sol.

"It's possible, but might take some time. You should occupy yourself with the festivities at the pool."

"I guess. Are you gonna be cool here on your own?" Omega asked. He found Sol's growing familiarity with human behavior and society intriguing.

"Yes, I do not overheat." Sol answered. Omega smirked at the AI's literal answer. He changed into a pair of black swim trunks quickly to get into the right attire.

"Ok. See you in a bit. I'm not the most popular guy here, so expect me to come back slightly pissed off about something." Omega said before leaving. He didn't need Sol taking what he said about being pissed off literally. Jess and Sol... they need to more slang or something. Then again, they make me laugh at their answers.

Omega walked through the halls of the HQ, until he reached the pool area. Everyone was pretty much there. The staff and most of the team. His eyes caught sight of a few things. Sigma dancing. Is she drunk? Jess being kissed by the Doc. Wow... well she got what she wanted. I guess I'll ask her about that later. Tia leaving with Miles. Well this makes the party a bit better. I guess I arrived at the perfect time. Then his eyes landed on Shiver with a guy he had never seen before. He watched as she kissed him. At that moment he couldn't even think of something witty, he just scowled before sighing and going to the bartender.

"What's up?" The bartender said as Omega walked over trying to maintain a positive composure. "What's your poison?"

"My poison? Nothing. I don't have one, but I'll take whiskey. I regenerate too fast to get tipsy." Omega admitted.

"Oh well I guess that kinda sucks.... Oh yeah! Did you here about what law enforcement is starting to implement?" The bartender said as he put ice in a glass followed by whiskey.

"What are they doing?" Omega asked.

"They have some kind of stuff that tears metahumans up. Bullets that ignore regeneration and hard skin, areas where powers are dulled. It's pretty cool. You guys might be able to retire young." The bartender laughed. Omega laughed with the man. He sipped his drink in order to create a break in his faked laughter. More bad news... The day the government tries to replace us, everything will go wrong... No jobs on either side of the moral compass.

"See you around, I gotta start making fixes to my retirement plan." Omega joked, but when he turned from the bartender, he looked serious. Humans were just about to get the upper hand over metahumans... There's no way he'll let that happen.

Tia got a message in her email from Bell. "The meta known as Gadget has been removed from your facility. There are issues with robots glitching and causing too much trouble and danger to those around them so she and others like her have been recalled."

Tia filed it and put away the comlink and room key. "I'm not even sure I met that one." She mumbled to herself while looking at her first interview for the day. She called them in one by one. Bell had given her three to choose from. Finally Tia had picked an assistant. Shiver was going to be so happy Tia thought. At least now she wouldn't get stuck with all of the paperwork.




Enyo got up and smiled at the memory of her evening with Roman. They had kissed and done a lot of talking. They had turned on a movie and watched it til the wee hours of the morning. At that point Roman had gone to his room and undoubtedly fallen into bed. She chuckled to herself. Her step was lighter today because of him. She really liked him.



Shiver was awakened by Tia. "You guys slept out here?" She said waking Cal as well. "Mhmm, good fresh air makes you sleep deep. Why are you waking me up Tia? I need more sleep."

"LOOK!" Tia said happily. "Look at what? I'm not opening my eyes unless it's worth it." Tia laughed deeply. "Oh it's worth it alright." Shiver opened her eyes. Tia and some girl were there. "Okaaay what?" "My new assistant."

Shiver perked up instantly. "You mean you got an office assistant? A paperwork girl? A gal fiday? No more crazy paperwork?"

Tia laughed and nodded "Exactly!" Shiver shouted for joy and she asked the girl. "What is your favorite candy?" "Anything Chocolate." "I vow to you I will keep you in constant supply!"

"Tia how long til my mission?" "About two hours." "Ugh, ok."

With a smirk given from Amelia's comment, Rey responded Dreams are no match for you huh?.....funny...neither are my toys. he said winking at her.

As much as Rey loved Amelia, something about her strong gaze, sent chills down his spine...but he had to admit, those were excitement chills. He was always like a prey similar to a fly to a venus fly trap or to a black widow's web. He was frozen and took the kiss to the lips, widening his eyes with the bursts of vital energy, feeling the bliss almost like an enhancement drug. Um...Amie....you're a natural viagra.... he said unable to contain himself as he embraced her. Okay okay! I can't help it, let's pull the discovery ecstacy channel roleplay! he said motioning to take her to bed.



After Miles and Tia had their fun, Miles went to get the R&D stuff out the SUV with help from the HQ staff. From what the plans looked like, this was some very advanced shit. He'd like to see the look on Rey's face when he notices his stuff have been brought back.

@Wick
Cal blinked awake and looked around him before sitting up. He worked on fully waking before realizing there was an additional being talking. He blinked and ran a hand through his messed up hair. "I...don't feel so good...probably over slept....probably need food" he slowly stood and look at shiver with half lided eyes...a sign that he did need food. "Want some? Probably going to make....whatever I can" his speech was a tad slurred and he nodded to them all before trudging toward inside. Cal is only supposed to sleep for about 3-4 hours before he has to eat again...he definitly over slept.

"Two more hours right?" Omega asked Sol as he floated through an alley containing men groaning in pain. It was his shift for patrols, and though it was early, he enjoyed getting it over with rather than getting himself into gear after being so relaxed at the HQ. The copper colored suit that Glitch loaned Omega gleamed where the sunlight made contact.

"That estimate is correct." Sol replied in her robotic feminine tone. "Law enforcement will arrive before these 'assholes' are no longer incapacitated." Sol's response made Omega grin with amusement. She was beginning to finally to finally catch on to his lingo. Soon enough she would be bad mouthing just as bad as he did.

"Good. Send me coordinates to the next place in need of saving." As he requested this, he floated up on top of a building. He held his arms forward and twisted them slowly to study his new suit. Durable enough for me, though it's as... What's the word? Flexible? Glitch will know when I tell him. It's heavier than the team uniform, but that's understandable. My strength makes up for that. That about covers it. So far, so good.

"Omega, bank robbery on 27th and Concord." Sol informed. Omega pulled up his arm to look at his left bracer. A blue holographic map suddenly appeared over his forearm. The map displayed his location in the city as a yellow dot, while his objective was displayed as white dot.

"On it!" Omega said as he flew towards his objective. It was time to play hero a little more this morning.

Shiver teleported into the kitchen as Cal walked in. She pulled the cereal bowls, milk, cereal, bread and butter out. While the toast was toasting she made her cereal and passed everything towards Cal. Grabbing glasses out she poured them both some OJ. As the toast popped up she grabbed silverware out and began buttering them. She put some of them on his plate and some on hers.

Shiver grinned at Cal who seemed to blush a lot since he got back. She figured she must look terrible. "How bad is my hair?" She asked him chuckling as she reached over and fixed his hair a little.

Tia hit the comlink and read the letter from Bell about robots and other synthetics being used experimentally and glitching badly. Tia said "If they find a way to replace us with robots and synthetics we are all in big trouble. Keep your eyes open out there."

@funnyguy@blackpanther

Omega arrived over the bank that had police cruisers outside of it. He smiled beneath the helmet he wore wih pleasure. The anxious metahuman dropped down to the sidewalk, causing it cracked under his feet.

"SFPD! Allow me to take over." Omega announced before a police Captain scurried over to him.

"Don't go in there, they have hostages. If anyone but them open up those doors..." The police officer sighed before Omega placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I told you. I got this. I'm Omega, the most powerful meta of Conspiracy. You're lucky to have me, you know." Omega said with confidence. He turned to look at the bank before focusing. "There's seven of them right?" Omega asked.

"That's what we believe. But what are you going to do? This is a sensitive situation, and we can't risk the live of-"

"Boom!" Omega exclaimed as seven armed men flew threw the windows of the bank and into the street. The police were in shock, but immediately apprehended the bank robbers. "And the winner is? Yeah, me." Omega said as he entered the building with the authorities to make sure the hostages were safe. "Thank me later. Right now you all need to get to your families and loved ones. Your safe now." Omega said as he continued to act so heroically. The press came in as a woman hugged him. "Now this is front page material. What's your name gorgeous?" Omega was eating this up, which was odd for a guy like him to be into this. All the love I need is right here. He thought as he smiled at the cameras and answered questions.

Tia was watching tv at the hostage situation just about to tell Shiver to take her in when she saw Omega on tv. "I got this. I'm Omega, the most powerful meta of Conspiracy. You're lucky to have me, you know."

Shiver laughed so hard she lost her balance on the chair she was sitting on and it fell leaving her on her back on the floor in the kitchen. "That is so much BS I hope he has his waders on!" Shiver looked at Cal's expression and laughed harder. Tia choked on her juice and spent the next five minutes trying not to die. Shiver got up and hit her on the back and Tia coughed harder. Omega thought he was the most powerful huh? She smirked at that one. How arrogant he was. Maybe she would let him think that for now.

@funnyguy@blackpanther

@Wick
Cal chuckled as he ate and took in shuver's hair. "it's a mess. I guess that is what we get for sleeping outside huh?" his tone got better as he ate...pretty much everything she put out that she didn't claim for herself. He reaches over and tried to fix her hair...which somewhat worked. He snorted. "I think I'm making it worse..a comb would be better...most likely" he grinned at her after he ate the last piece of toast.

His attention was soon snagged by the tv and the one on it while he didn't know. His expression was indeed a funny one. It was one of confusion and a bit of him being taken aback. He shook his head and looked at the laughing shivers with a grin. "I have my suit..,should I set him straight?" he snapped. "actually...we could both set him straight want to come?" his eyes were dancing with mischief and his grin spelled trouble. He felt like they were a team and each were strong in one way or another...to say one was the strongest was asking for it from the speedster.

Jess had spent nearly the entire night thinking about what Amelia had said to her.

She didn't hate the squints an that was truth but not as startling a revelation as some might think. But it was everything the doc had said like she'd somehow read her mind and examined her life from the beginning.

It was while she was thinking about how she could solve all this that it dawned on Jesse that Evergreen's first name was the same as her mom. Memories long buried surfaced and no matter how much effort Jess put into it she couldn't repair wall.

Emotions long forgotten suddenly crashed through her and Drifter screamed in pain and loss. Tears poured from her eyes as soul deep sobs racked her body.

Her self control now shattered caused her magnetic fields to fluctuate wildly, her collection of small metal objects took flight and spun in orbit if their mistress like some angry swarm it's queen. They flew in a tight pattern increasing in speed as Jessica's pain mounted and any object it their path was struck over and over till it was either pushed out of the way or ground away.

Laughing she pulled a hair tie out of her pocket and put her hair up in a decent pony tail. She looked down at his feet. When she looked back up she said, "Just checking your laces." She chuckled remembering one day a few months back.

Tia was still recovering from her choking episode and finally got her throat cleared. "I don't think Y..." and they were gone before she could say anything to stop them. She sighed. "It's like living in a house with a bunch of kids I swear!"

Shiver and Cal got there just in time for a distressed driver to hit the nearest line pole. The man was having a heart attack. Shiver grabbed the man and teleported him to the ER at the hospital and when she got back she was told that the electricity for thousands would be down for hours because of the bank robbery and the car accident.

Shiver looked up at the pole and the line was on the ground, live and flopping about. "Stay back!" She yelled to everyone. She picked up the line and climbed the tower it was supposed to be attached too. Shiver was glowing as the electricity ran through her without causing her pain. After about ten minutes she had the power back up for the neighborhood.

Shiver looked over and saw that Cal was doing something but he didn't have tome to stop and tell her. Shiver looked around and her eyes landed on Omega. Their eyes connected for a moment. She sighed and looked away. Her glow was soft right now and she had no reason to be suspicious as someone from the military approached her and asked her to come with them for a moment.

Shiver smiled and followed him while he spoke of the scientists and things they were developing. He said he wanted to show her the latest in their technology. As she rounded the back of the truck she was cuffed with handcuffs that kept her from using her powers at all. Shiver screamed and was shoved into a military truck. The doors were slammed shut and she found out quickly it was soundproof. She was yelling for Cal and Michael. The man had pulled her comlink off as he shoved her in so she couldn't reach the HQ either. Shiver was throwing herself at the walls trying to rock the truck significantly enough for someone to notice. "HELP!"

Tia saw something that one of the cameras got that was only there for a second. She hit the comlink. "Cal, Omega. That military truck just hijacked Shiver, follow it and report back to me asap!" She raced back to her office and got on the phone to the nearest base and asked to speak with the colonel.
