[b][color=lightpink]Cori[/color] & Jace[/b]
[justify][indent]The day had been a long one already, and Agent Woods was itching for a drag. In her rush, she had left her cigarettes in her office. As she briskly strode toward the building, she knew she wouldn't have time to sit down and relax for the rest of the day. On any other day, it may have soured her mood, but the last week was about to finally pay off. She had been betrayed, lost good men, and was beaten by a freelancer (who admittedly apologized and offered an alliance, but regardless) for the flashdrive in her pocket, her ticket to advance even further through the ranks. This would be the case of the decade--maybe even the century. And, of course, Cori sought to stop the violence and chaos plaguing the globe. She intended to lead US forces against superpowered humans, aliens, the mysterious Coalition. All three were a threat, and the flashdrive was her key to stopping them.

Jace was feeling a rush of power, it was crazy that Luke had powers.. He didn't exactly know what powers he had, he wasn't a big fan of the whole superhero genre. The extent of his fiction viewing was Dragon Ball Z, and he'd love to learn how to shoot a kamehameha wave today just as much as he'd wanted growing up. The fight was great, and he'd managed to keep his mask on, but now world knew there was a superhuman out there for sure thanks to his actions not that he cared. Once he murdered Judge Alton he was done his revenge spree would be satisfied at least for now. He had decided to mug someone and change clothes for..reasons. He was just walking minding his own business, and simmering down from his earlier intoxication. Whatever Luke had done to his head to get him to relieve all his dreasm in real life so intense had messed him up, and now more then ever he wondered if he was going down the right path..or was simply dancing with the devil.

Jace just needed something to get his mind off this, everything he'd been doing he wasn't a bad guy...these people were bad they needed to be punished and he had the power to punish them. Maybe he went too far with Luke, but he didn't care if it was drugs, powers or both he didn't need to do his sister like that..at least respectfully cut her off but don't make her a side fling. He just wanted to change, and he looked up to see some albino girl walking. "damn she's pretty fucking sexy, all that fighitng I need some..mhmm." Jace grinned thinking about whether he wanted to approach the girl when suddenly an armored van pulled up near Cori, and two men hoped out the window in body armor and armed, with another coming out firing a taser at her. "What the Fuck.."Jace said as they began yelling at her "RETURN THE EVIDENCE OR DIE"

When the wheels squealed to a stop beside her, it was only gut feeling that urged Cori to actually look at the van. She had done her best to be alert since leaving Kieran; her guard wasn't high enough, clearly, but she was almost prepared. Had she not been carrying the very evidence that lead them to her, her reacation would've been to fight back--but this was bigger than her. As the armored men jumped out, she turned on her heel to run, her hand grasping the gun under her jacket just as the electrode projectile's snagged onto her back. Gasping, she fell to her hands and knees, the men yelling at her. "[color=lightpink]Shit,[/color]" she gasped, barely managing to turn to face them. Somehow, she found the strength to pop a shot off at the man with the taser, a little low on his face, but good enough to get him off her, at least. She was still weakened, though.

The man was knocked back by the shot, but the other soldiers reacted. Jace didn't know what was going on but Jace rushed forward intervening and grabbing one of the soldiers that came out the van and tossing him into the window of a nearby store. "Hey! What the fuck are you guys doing to her."

The two other soldiers looked at Jace and seemed uneasy then heard orders being yelled to them via their communication devices. They both opened fire, and Jace stood in-front of Cori protecting her from the bullets. Jace then rushed forward elbowing one of hte soldiers into the truck, snatching the other soldiers gun and pistol whipping him then opening fire shooting the driver of the armored truck, and the passenger.  Jace realized he'd done all this without a mask on, and quickly took off one of the soldiers helmets and donned it rushing over to the woman who was tasered to help her up." Hey! Hey! Fuck are you good?!" Jace didn't bother to ask why these guys were after her, he saw that they intended to kill her.

Cori watched, awestruck, by the young man's interferance. "[color=lightpink]No--you need to run,[/color]" she warned, sitting up as she regained her strength, slowly. She heard the crackle of radio static, and she gasped. She wanted to warn him again, to get away before he was killed but she wasn't quick enough. Shots were fired and she threw her arms up to protect herself and... And nothing happened. She looked up again, watching Jace fight off the men, struggling to comprehend what had happened. 

Attacking her in broad daylight--they were desperate to get the flashdrive back, and it only made her more eager to open it up again. Luckily, this mysterious, bullet proof kid showed up just in the nick of time. "[color=lightpink]You're one of them,[/color]" she realized as he helped her up, gaze hard on the helmet that hid his face. "[color=lightpink]I-I'm fine, thank you. I need to [i]go[/i],[/color]" she added, her eyes flickering back to the mess he had made of the Coalition agents. 

Jace wondered how this woman would react to his powers, but didn't care. He made the news but he had his mask on but she'd seen him do this stuff without a mask. Only way to remedy the situation was to kill her but he couldn't do that she hadn't done nothing to him or his family. "One of them..oh..you mean..yeah..them super motherfuckers shit you right." Jace thought she simply knew from the news but had no idea who she really was. "Go, man you just had some folks tried to smoke you in broad day light if you dont mind me asking who the fuck

"ELIMINATE THE TARGET" An armored helicopter descended from the sky, and rained down bullets causing Jace to jump off to defend Cori from the bullets, then before they could fire again he twirled around flinging the armored truck at the helicopter causing both to crash down into the streets landing in traffic no doubt taking innocent lives." FUCK!" Jace yelled but two more cars zoomed out and windows rolled down as they began to open fire. Jace grabbed Cori picking her up like nothing and ran forward ducking into a nearby ally if they continued to fight in public more people would die. Running he rushed into traffic with a car skirting in-front of him, and Jace opened the door pulling the man out and pushing him away then got in the car." Get in!" He yelled at her, figuring her pursuers weren't far behind.

If Cori had to be honest, she was almst thankful the rain of bullets interupted Jace's question. Especially since he was able to protect her, taking them without earning a scratch. It was incredible--and a little terrifying--but she wasn't given much time to ponder it. The kid picked her up and they were off, his body protecting her from more assailants. And with every attempt on her life, her resolve was hardened to survive, to get the flashdrive to the base. She pulled herself up on Jace's shoulder, peering over and outstretching her arm--two shots and two drivers spun out as they dsiappeared into an ally. 

"[color=lightpink]Oh my god, I'm so sorry,[/color]" she said to the men who was suddenly out of a car, but they need it more than he. She didn't need to be told twice, and she hopped into the car, looking back, watching for more agents. She flinched as her cell phone rang to life, and she ignored the unknown number, at least for now. 

Jace didn't even know what he got himself involved in, for all he knew she was a terrorists, and he was picking a fight with the Government. Then again the Government had labeled him a criminal, and put his brother in a cage. Suddenly the radio in the car began acting up and a message was delivered.

"Jace Williams cease immediately. The woman your aiding is an enemy of the U.S Government of the highest degree. We will offer you 100,000 dollars and pardon you of all your pending legal charges  if you deliver her dead or a live to the agents in pursuit repeat. The woman." Jace punched a the radio putting a hole in the car destroying it." Fuck the government." He said and he had to swerve to the left to avoid one of the cars that attempted to drive into him head on, and Jace made a sharp right nearly loosing contorl as he went fast escaping onto the back-roads only to hear police sirens in the back-ground. Jace just glared at the girl and wondered what she did as he went even faster how did these guys know where they were." Ok...fuck all this..if I'm keeping your ass alive..and turning down a 100k spill the beans..what the fuck did you do..you a fucking terrorist or something cause i swear to god I will stop the car myself and turn your ass is in if your killing people for some imaginary motherfucker in the sky or for any reason at all..and how the hell do these people keep finding us fuck!"

Cori tensed as the radio sparked to life, apparently for the kid sitting beside her. She squinted, side glancing him. Was he a criminal? [i][color=lightpink]Would that be surprising?[/color][/i] she thought, recalling the ease he had in throwing the agents around, and shoving the poor man out of the car. She gasped as he punched in the radio, denouncing the very government that she worked for. As he drove, she had a hand on the dashboard and her other against the door, holding on--God forbid she escape Coalition only to die in some freak accident with superhuman. One who was not shy about demanding answers, by the way. 

"[color=lightpink]I can't explain it right now![/color] she said, wincing as she leaned against the door on a sharp turn. "[color=lightpink]But they are [i]lying[/i]. I am not a criminal, I-- They're lying. They don't have the grounds to pardon you from whatever it is you did, [i]and[/i] they'd probably kill you for all this.[/color]" She had almost declared herself as part of the actual US government, but a glance at this kid who might be a criminal had her decide against it.

Jace hoped she gave him an honest answer otherwise he'd just turned down money for nothing, but as she spoke he had a point. 

"Can't explain it were gonna fucking die, what the hell can you not explain, that's fucking retarded gahh damn" Jace was mad but it was too late, and driving drunk he almost swerved off the road again but caught himself and kept up the speed. "Right the whole U.S Government is lying makes sense I guess,  and I don't need a fucking pardon, trust me I've gotten what I need.." Jace said thinking about his revenge it felt good in the moment but afterwards not so much.  Just as he was thinking Jace slammed the breaks as he wasn't paying attention and the car swerved off the road tearing up the tires but stopped before they hit anything." Fuck" Jace yelled getting out the car and examing it." Fuck fuck..we gotta go this car is fucked up. Alright miss mysterious..these people whoever they are want you dead, I know a thing or too about people in uniforms wanting to kill me..thing is I stay off the radar, so what's your plan want me to just walk away, or you want to actually let the only person who can probably keep you alive..know where the fuck to take you." Jace inquired..wondering why he'd done so much to help a random girl out, well he knew why....all these labels..villain..menace..monster..he wanted to escape it.

Cori gasped and yelled out in surprise as Jace suddenly breaked and drove them off the road. He got out before her, and she took a moment to regain her breath and calm down. When she did step out of the car, she demanded, "[color=lightpink]What the [i]hell[/i] was that? I knew I should've been the one driving--[/color]" As she ranted, she followed his example of eyeing the car, her eyes lingering on the tires with a shake of her head. Looks like the US Government was covering John Doe's insurance on his shit car. 

She sighed, just calming down as Jace started at her again. He had a point: after that fiasco, she needed a bullet proof escort to the office, and she rubbed at the bridge of her nose--only then realizing she had lost her sunglasses a long time ago. She squinted against the light, then around. "[color=lightpink]I need to get the CIA's office buildling. By the park,[/color]" she admitted, eyeing him for his reaction. But she didn't exactly want to hear it, so she continued, "[color=lightpink]Why are you even helping me? You are putting yourself in more danger than you would be with the cops.[/color]"

"Oh alright, my bad for taking the lead, I should have waited for you to talk to the man kindly to see if he'd let two strangers borrow his car. "Jace said in response to her comment about driving thinking back to how she apologized to the guy he snatched the car from in the first place. He wished he'd just driven his mustang, but considering helicopters and armore trucks were shooting at them he was glad he didn't, this also meant something he dreaded he'd ave to catch an uber back to his car.

"CIA Office building.." Jace sighed..so it was probably flipped, whoever was trying to pay him was probably an enemy of the country, He didn't exactly like people in authority, but she was attractive and he figured with the way his life was going he'd need someone who owd him a favor high up. "I'm Jace, Jace Williams feel free to give me a bullshit name I know you feds be lying anyway so it dosen't matter." Jace sighed and leaned against a tree."Why...let's just say..lately I've done some things...things I regret...with..my powers. When I first did them I felt good about them, but afterwards I had a sour feeling. I've been having nightmares, I can't sleep, I feel guilty...people are trying to label me a monster..I guess..I just seen you was about to get clapped...and I wanted to do something, tired of people trying to say I'm something I'm not fuck I know I'm drunk I don't know why I'm telling you all this..you probably don't give a fuck anyway." Jace shrugged this drinking was starting to get to him, he needed to cut it out.

Cori watched as he got comfortable against a tree, and looked around. Admittedly, she didn't have time to sit and listen to Jace's story, but she wasn't the one with scary super strength. So she resigned herself to liste, frowning as he went on. The agent in her wanted to press him further--what he did exactly--but she also didn't want to know. She had so much on her plate already that she wasn't confident she could [i]do[/i] anything about whatever horrors he committed. So she just slowly nodded, irritation setting in as he admitted to drinking before driving, but she only crossed her arms. "[color=lightpink]I'm sorry,[/color]" she offered. "[color=lightpink]If it were up to me, you wouldn't have been a part of this. But since you are, thank you. You--you saved my life, Jace.[/color]"

Jace hated rambling on when he was drunk especially to a CIA agent, but  it's not like he had any heavy crimes he was hiding well besides technically being a serial killer. "Yeah well don't blame yourself, trust me this isn't for you..it's for me..for my soul..I just need a cleanse." Jace sighed. "All the odds are stacked up...I'm fucking drunk, the car was fucked up, how do we get to the CIA building?" Just as he was saying that a bullet whizzed past him and nearly hit Cori. Jace moved to push Cori to the ground as bullets began whizzing through the air as the two cars pulled up from before and Jace kicked the car he snatched into one of the approaching agents cars killing the driver and passenger upon impact. The other car sped towards Jace shooting bullets which bounced off Jace and suddenly skidded to a stop as one of the drivers got out and raised his hand drawing a weird gun and firing it at Jace he merely slapped the bullet away then grimaced in pain." Fuck...what the.."Before teh agent could shoot again Jace tossed his gun at the agents head full force knocking him out then hit the ground in pain the bullet hadn't hurt him..but it seemed like..it had some other effect it was making him sick it was..poision. "Damn it..you gotta drive..I don't know what the fuck he hit me with..but I'm not good."

Cori gasped as she was shoved to the ground, and the familiar pop of gun shots echoed about her and Jace. "[color=lightpink]I'm sick of being shot at![/color]" she yelled into the ground, hiding her head in her arms. When Jace got up to confront Coalition, she followed suit and stood up, gun in her hand. [i][color=lightpink]Three out of six,[/color][/i] she recalled mentally, her trained eyes quickly identifying the enemies. The passenger of the second car stepped out, but had a bullet a between the eyes before he could even raise his gun again. When it quieted again, Cori approached Jace--pausing to shoot the man he had knocked out. On another day, she might have spared the agent, but her life and country was in danger, so she acted unflinchingly. 

It wasn't until Jace spoke that she slipped her gun away, scowling at him. "[color=lightpink]What are you talking about?[/color]" she asked, finding the strange gun. She picked up, and took Jace's arm to help him to the agents' car. "[color=lightpink]They might've used some kind of poison--since you're, well, bulletproof. That's some fast acting,[/color]" she said, hint of admiration in her voice. She grunted as she pulled the passenger door to help Jace in before quickly moving to the other side to take her seat in the driver's spot, placing the gun in the glove box. "[color=lightpink]Just hang in there. Here we go.[/color]"

Jace couldn't help but take note of Cori's ruthlessness. Although he didn't revel in brutal killing he still enjoyed combat and he found her..aggression highly attractive. [i] Damn she's a fucking savage! I wonder how she is in bed [/i] Jace paused to let himself entertain these thoughts as he felt the poision spreading through him making him feel worst and worst."Fuck posion" Jace had felt so confident in his powers that he'd forgotten to realize that although he felt invincible he wasn't Superman." Fuck.." Jace leaned back in the seat as they were on the way, and decided he had an idea..the helmet he had on had some sort of communication deivice fooling around with it and it clicked on" Hello Agent..update status?! The Flashdrive is in Vehicle 5..where is the target? Where is the target." Jace groaned and tried to put on his best agent voice." The Target eluded capture, the flashdrive......" Jace paused not knowing what they were talking about but still he was gonna attempt his plan." is our posession in the vehicle..." 

"Roger that..forget the target..we'll send a team to find her and kill her, our systems detect element X was fired..so I'm presuming the superhuman is down we'll send a team to grab his body as well...hurry up and get back..The CIA can't get their hands on the info in the files.." Roger that Jace was breathing heavilly his diversion plan had actually worked. "Shit..maybe I need to try acting" Jace said trying to joke before falling unconscious.

Cori tensed, her fingers gripping the wheel as the radio on Jace's helmet came to life. She glanced at him and opened her mouth to speak--but stopped, not wanting to be heard--and shook her instead. He took on a different tone and started speaking and she lightly hit the wheel in frustration. They were almost out and Jace was going to give them away with his stupid Hollywood stunt. She kept her eyes on the road, occasionally glancing at him with those sharp red eyes...And then they bought it. Cori's shoulder's relaxed and she sighed long and low, quietly. That was far too close, but it worked out--and they freely gave up orders.

Element X, two teams... Once the second team showed up to collect Jace's body, Coalition would know they were tricked. It was tight, but it gave her just the time she needed to get to base. "[color=lightpink]Jesus, don't scare me like that,[/color]" she sighed, glancing over at Jace when he didn't reply. "[color=lightpink]Oh no,[/color]" she whined, pressing on the gas. 

[hr]
"Inserting the antidote," the woman said. Jace had been out the whole time, his heartrate slowing by the minute at this point. The lab team couldn't use needles or scapels on Jace's strange skin, so he would soon be waking up with a tube down his throat, the antidote to Element X being poured directly into his body. A dosage maybe too high that would leave the poor kid feeling rather groggy, but they had to counteract the alcohol. 

Cori watched from feet away, arms crossed and eyes narrowed, hoping it worked. And quickly. Her eyes dropped to the watch on her wrist and she glanced up at the ceiling.

"Uhh Uhh! UGHH!" Jace yelled with the tube down his throat,he yanked it out and was coughing. His eyes shot open, one minute he was lying to the government like always the next he felt everything going to black. But unlike when he usually fell asleep he felt a sense of peace, if he was going out at least it wasn't as a monster. At least he'd done one good deed before he was gone, but now here he was back alive again looking around in some sort of hopsital room looking at Cori and some other scientist.

"What the fuck....."Jace was trying to recall what happened then remembered the whole poision fiasco and got up with the scientist muttering among themselves in shock, not only had she saved his life but proven to the CIA that the superhuman threat was indeed real. He felt disoriented and weird. "I'm alive..I guess you saved my life...person whose name you wouldn't tell me..uh..CIA building..don't..worry..all..the Remy I drank..and whatever the hell you put me on I won't know what the fuck is happening." He noticed he still had his clothes on and frowned." Fully clothed..and here I thought you might want to check me out." Jace struggled getting off the hospital bed and focusing seemed to regain some strength somehow and shook his head the last thing he wanted to do was stick around in a govenrment building. "Stay safe..don't get murdered by whoever.." Jace said to Cori and looked confused.

"I'll escort you." Jace turned to see another agent..and he was reluctant but had no other choice and followed the other agent who took him out the building the back way and shut the door behind him." Wow..slammed door..fucking prick." Jace rolled his eyes and decided to keep going ..he tried to save a woman got involved in the middle of  CIA conflict and almost died..it was definently easier being a prick.
