[IC] Masterminds

[Rusalka]

Crudely, Maria snatched the device from Marcus' hand, bringing it up into view of her eyes as a video feed began to play over the small LCD screen of the tracker, and Maria got first view of who she assumed to be her first target, a dangerous flicker of electricity to her eyes as she saw the girl in question. "Mmm, they do say blondes have more fun." A sneering wisecrack and of course a smirk to follow, still hidden underneath that ghastly contraption upon her face. "I will admit, she's a cutie, a bit weak looking too. Hehehe...that'll just make her more fun to play with. I think I'll take this one and leave the rest of the trash for you boys to pick up." Standing up, she stuffed the device in her back pocket and sauntered over to the window she just recently bashed through. "Don't wait up." Were her last words before she jetted away on a bolt of lightning rocketing her over to a nearby rooftop, where she was on the prowl scouring down every alleyway as she made her trek through the city's high grounds, some choice dubstep pounding in her ears through her Skullcandies while she leaped across the widening gaps between rooftops, vaulted over cumbersome AC ducts and landed feet first on a rather rusty fire-escape overlooking a sparsely populated alley, the very alley where she discovered....her prey.

With such predatory, vicious and rather languid eyes, she gazed down upon the young blonde, and since you couldn't tell with the respirator over her mouth, the sadistic cyber-goth was practically licking her lips with delight. Hehehe...ooh yes I'm gonna enjoy playing with her. Time to make her presence known. Not wasting a shred of time, Maria flung herself over to a brick wall, grinding down it with her razor claws digging harsh into the mortar, a nerve-racking sound of steel grinding and scraping echoing ever hauntingly down the dingy and dusty alleyway, until Tesla finally made it to terra firma below. "Hehehehe..." With ever the psychotic glee, she slowly and ever menacingly approached the blonde, a disturbing rhyme falling from her lips dripping with venom. "One two, Tesla's coming for you. Three four, You won't run no more. Five six, gonna get my fix. Seven eight, won't hesitate. Nine ten, to rip off your skin!" All while she lurched so horrendously to this girl, her claws continued to scrape across the bricks, little jolts and sparks of blue lightning arcing from her fingertips, and soon engulfing her entire hand in serpentine-like volts of pure electricity. "You know, water and lightning make quite the beautiful combo. One spark and everything.....gets electrified."

Ruslan starts his car and slowly drives toward the girl he almost crashed, feeling that he does have a responsibility to deliver after that kind of driving. After searching for a while, he finds the girl, leaning against a wall. He then stops the car and goes out of it. "Are you fine?" he asks the girl. "Sorry for causing all this mess".

[MarshiestMallow]

Leela looked up, knowing she'd be better to flee, but she wouldn't. The girl approaching her was freaky, disturbing, but her brothers had taught her to stay her ground and maybe if she did, they'd leave her alone.

"Mmm. They say anyone can be scalded" Leela replied, planting her feet, and facing the girl. "I'm not afraid of you" her voice was strong, filling her hands with water, then throwing it in the air, to keep I away from her body.

It started to boil as Leela made it heat up. She could do that mildly, just with water, hearing it up as if it were boiling in a saucepan. She didn't wait for any reply from the girl, with a flick of her hand, she sent it flying to her attacker, then threw up her hands, creating a wall of water in front of her rushing almost like a shield, again from her body.

By now she was weary, slowly losing enegy, becoming increasingly lethargic. She hadn't used her powers much, not consistently, and hadn't developed stamina with it. Her own fault. She needed to finish this, or find someway to escape.

Hearing someone approach, she glanced to the side, seeing a guy. He didn't appear to be threatening but still. As he asked if she was fine she said "I'm fine. I won't be in a few moments and neither will you. Either help or get away"

[Rusalka]

Sure she said she wasn't afraid, but you couldn't tell that to Maria. She knew this girl was in fear of her, and it just made the psycho girl all the more disturbingly....amused. And again how stupid of her to use water based attacks on the girl. If there's anything to never use against lightning....it was this albino chick's chosen element. With a smirk, Maria gave a flick of her wrist while seamlessly dodging the initial attack issued from the water girl, and soon from her hands surged a storm of lightning bolts dancing fiendishly about her metal gloves and arcing violently through the waves of water. Seemed her prey had claws of her own, albeit little, tiny claws that couldn't even scratch Maria...even if this bitch had tried her damndest. Not too soon, another joined the fray, some guy, a bit of a handsome guy too. "Awww who's he? Your boyfriend? This'll be just like a horror movie then, except ...you know, you won't get to change the channel at the gory part!" Maria cackled fiendishly and ever a hint insane, another damaging strike of high voltage come flying from her hands. "Ride the lightning, fuckers!"

[MarshiestMallow]

Leela cursed, and flung up into the air like she had before, even as she reached to her ankle, to the dagger there hidden along her boots, and pulled it out, landing once more, and running towards the girl. "I'm so sick of you people!" She said in frustration.

She tried to get close to the girl, to stab her. To do anything to stop her, so Leela could flee. Maybe it was foolish-the electricity would do more damage to her then a normal person, but Leela knew if she didn't at least wound the girl, she wouldn't get away.

She tried to use what her brothers had taught her, but all she could remember of any training they had given her right then was 'stick her with the pointy end'. Amusingly, that was from one of the tv shows and books they read and watched together. Well, her dagger certainly had a pointy end at least.

[nautilusmp]

Ruslan knows he has to make a lightning decision (is it a good pun? foreigner here), so he looks at the girl at the opposite side of them two. She is taunting, and the bolts on her hands back that taunt up. Knowing that a lightning is something intangible and moves at the speed of light, which means he is likely not able to repel such attacks, he reaches the conclusion that fighting may not work. He approaches the girl he almost crashed and said to her, "Get in the car".

[PhoenixEye9]

Veyas knowing Maria all to well, knowing her brashness will make them lose so much more information he teleported loosely, keeping up with the mind he still hadn't disconnected. Seeing the two options before him, ignore and let one be down and give us no help, or maybe get some help from the very person you plan to kill. "Oi you electric bitch, I've got two things to say," He yelled as he dropped down going to one knee, slowly looking up slowly to look Maria in the eyes, "Electric music sucks, and leave people alone. I'm getting tired of chasing you."

[i]"OK now serious back off, let me get close to this girl to get as much info out of her as possible then I can let you know and you can happily kill them."

While he was speaking with Maria Telepathically he readied himself to react, block the strike (Can't really dodge the cars behind him), and earn the girls trust.

[MarshiestMallow]

Leela shook her head, stepping back towards the guy tell her to get in the car. "Horrible actor!" she yelled, and climbed into the car, throwing her dagger at the guy and girl, and slamming the door shut.

"Hurry up and get in and go go go!" She said to the car guy, watching electro girl and the man who appeared to be challenging her, but Leela thought they were partners. Ready to do something, anything just in case despite her power being useless against the girl.

[nautilusmp]

Ruslan rushes to the car, gets in the driver's seat, shuts the car's door and accelerates his car. "Fasten your seatbelt and be ready for close misses like the one you saw a minute ago," he said. "And anyway, who are you?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Leela fastened her seatbelt, "I don't think I could fight any more today" She said wearily, "I'm Leela.Oh, god, I can't go home can I? They'll follow me...my brothers will worry, my parents..." She closed her eyes, sighed, "Right, right, lets find somewhere safe. Staying alive is more important at the moment, correct"

[salamimike]

Flint took one of the devices and looked to it as the scene around him got more frantic. People jumping out of windows and teleporting away. "I will get her " Flint said looking at the file for 'Katherin Winter'. It had a vague outline for her power, it didn't matter, everyone gets sick sometimes. Flint stood up as insects began to buzz back into his coat, he quickly left the room and was soon back onto the streets, ready to look for his prey.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin studied the chaos. She wondered what had happened. Probably some drunk Katherin thought shaking her head. She had never cared much for alcohol or the way it made people behave. She didn't understand the desire to lose control. Katherin worked very hard to maintain control of her abilities. She knew she could hurt someone if she lost control of it.

[Aisling]

Noirin glanced to her right where some guy sat down and ordered a beer. She couldn't afford much in this place so it would have to be just a sandwich again and water. She knew that soon she would have to sleep and hotels were expensive.

"Waitress, please bring me a PBJ and a water to go. I am not sure if I have the time to eat after all." she smiled as she spoke.

"$8.50. ANd you will pay up front. By the way thanks for taking so long." she spat out.

"That is awfully high for a PBJ, isn't it? I could buy a couple loaves of bread get some peanut butter and jelly for a lot less." Noirin spoke rather quickly as she placed the menu down.
*Wow this is the last I choose a dingy diner with no prices on the dirty menu.* she thought to her self.

"Take it or leave it." the waitress spoke impatiently.
"I'll take it but won' be back here agian." Noirin sighed wearily.

[MarshiestMallow]

Jamie rose, "Than I shall take this Noiran" He said, already heading out, slipping inside the shadows. He tracked the girl to a dingy dinner, shaking his head as he entered, he appraoched, hearing her complain about the prices. He sat down across from her, and said, "You shouldn't have brought something from a place with no prices on their menu" He smiled sweetly, "You never know when you're going to get ripped off"

Leela shook her head, stepping back towards the guy tell her to get in the car. "Horrible actor!" she yelled, and climbed into the car, throwing her dagger at the guy and girl, and slamming the door shut. "Hurry up and get in and go go go!" She said to the car guy, watching electro girl and the man who appeared to be challenging her, but Leela thought they were partners. Ready to do something, anything just in case despite her power being useless against the girl.

Thanks to that telepathic bastard Veyas catching her off guard with his signature cynicism and his demeaning slurs towards Maria, she didn't notice once the dagger being flung by her delectable prey, and bizarrely enough, not once did she notice the damn thing sticking right into her shoulder, until she caught a small glance of its bloody, metallic glint from the corner of her eye. "Tch." A mere shrug though as the psycho woman didn't feel a single tinge of her skin, not one shred of agonizing pain streaking through her nerves, which after years of honing her power and sending so much electrical surges through them, have all but frayed her nerves to no end. In a way, she's so numb to pain, a truck could hit her head on....and she wouldn't flinch once. Carelessly yanking the knife from her shoulder, she glared at Veyas' remark, returning fire with her own, "Well I've got two things for you, Veyas. Fuck and Off. Figured you'd be able to keep up with me with all that psychic glory coming out of your ass. Tell ya what, you can get as much info out of her as you want, once I bring her back to you kicking and screaming, but I get to do a bit of the torturing, comprende?" Reckless as ever, the girl didn't wait for a single response from her perturbed partner in mayhem, already scaling the wall and latching her hand against a metal girder running alongside the building-top. "Now, I got a little bitch's knife to return. Laters!" Flipping down her goggles, she was off again in a rush of lightning pulsing from her hands, this time using the girder as a sort of track to ease her wall-running across the sides of the buildings, easier to reach the road this way she thought.

Now running alongside the car, Maria readied herself for the dismount, mentally in preparation to jet herself from the sidewall and onto the roof of the speeding vehicle. "And here....we....GO!" She executed the jump with ease, now surging most of her electrical energy to her feet as well as to her hands, snapping down onto the roof of the car with a tight grip. "You're running away? That sucks!" The madwoman she was, she giggled with such maniacal bliss. "I was just starting to get off on this!" And onto the car her lightning descended, a powerful storm of static engulfing every inch of her body and striking the vehicle all at once. It wouldn't do much damage per-say to the people in it, but maybe it would at least short out the circuits of the vehicle and bring it to a halt. Then....the real fun could begin.

[MarshiestMallow]

Annoyed, frustrated, and just wanting this day over with, Leela did something foolish. She unbuckled her seatbeat, wound down her window, and climbed out. Right then, Leela didn't feel stable. She climbed onto the roof of the car, pulling herself up, using the gymnastics that she had undertaken throughout her school years to do so.

"Sorry car dude" She said as she climbed out, "I'll deal with her" She stood on the roof.

"Listen, you jerked up crazy bitch, I cannot take any more of your crap today" She said, standing, and then, heedless of the electricity, launched herself at the maniac of a girl, hoping to through them both off the car, where she would save herself with her water ability, or just let herself crash to the ground with the girl-her body would heal itself, she wouldn't die.

[PhoenixEye9]

Veyas choosing to take the shit fact they didn't trust him took it to heart as a call to battle. "Bitch didn't fall for it, bitch gonna die" He swiftly teleported a little ways ahead of the car judging its travel time and speed by his connection to Maria. He waited for the car, there it was, he quickly picked it up, taking advantage of its already current speed to use it to help speed up his throw. "There's the pitch," He picked up a tree, and swung at the car, "And theres the batter"

[salamimike]

Flint staggered out of an alleyway ahead of Katherin "Please help... me" He stammered coughing up blood as he played his fake act. His clothes moved as sickly as they always did and the smell was excruciatingly bad. A rat scurried away from Flint as he fell to one knee. ".... need..... help" He said shuffling towards Katherin.
His plan was to get close and swarm her then ask her to come nice and calmly back to the Head quarters.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin studied the creature in front of her. She thought it was a man but Katherin wasn't sure. One thing she knew for sure was that she wasn't going to let him anywhere near her. Katherin was immune to most illnesses because of her colder body temperature. But she wasn't going to take any chances. She sent a blast of cold air towards the man. She would kill whatever virus the man had before he approached.

[salamimike]

Flint suddenly felt a lot better. He shivered softly but soon the moment didn't last as his nose got runny again and the sores burned "Please..." He gasped and collapsed to the floor. His coat seemed to move on its own as some unknown force within seemed to move it. It could have been the wind but it looked to unnatural.
