[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[twave]

Well that wasn't a bad response. Walking over Estella smiled a little more. "How are you doing? I hope it's less confusing than my day." An odd sense of humor. Was it hers or Ben's. Now she would be questioning everything she says and does. Her expression probably conveyed that she was thinking.

[Eviledd1984]

"Uccideteli tutti" Jonathan yelled out to Nicholas in a act of desperation making the creature yell out in pain,The creature trying to swat at Pamela and then turned his attention to Phoebe trying to hit her with his giant plant like hand."Now your dead...stupid bitch..." Jonathan said laughing like a manic.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Funny...I feel very much alive" Phoebe said, darting towards Crane, she put as much force as she into her punch, stronger then her mother she moved faster, and slammed her fist into Cranes nose. "You are slow." Pamela gritted her teeth, but didn't let herself be swatted off. "You don't have to do this, Nicholas. Don't let him win. Don't let him control you this way. Fight back! Fight back, and take those years with him back! And then, we can be a proper family, I promise..." Connor just shrugged "the school is always confusing. You seem...distracted and off balanced. Has something happened? I imagine it must be confusing coming back to the school"

[twave]

Estella chuckled nervously, an actual audible chuckle. The sound surprised her and she stopped suddenly. "That's new. I don't remember being able to do that. Coming back to school so far had been the most normal thing to happen. Actually maybe they could answer a few things that Jack didn't want to talk about. "Can you tell me anything about Ben. Jack seems hesitant to talk about him."

[Eviledd1984]

The creature failing it's arms around slamming it's plant like hand agasint the structure of the warehouse making it shake,Crane was punched moving backwards slamming into the wall bleeding form his mouth."Fa..m...ily...M....m...m..omma..." The creature said looking over to Pamela with it's loud booming voice feeling confused.

[Flood]

Flood had followed everyone to the warehouse and was seething. He began firing at whatever he could that was hostile and continued getting angry. "Don't ever hurt my friends!" He yelled at Crane as he took aim at him with a pistol. He then fired randomly in anger, bullets flying everywhere.

[MarshiestMallow]

It was Bruce who stopped Flood, "Do you ever think before you do something, Flood?" He said, "Stand down! For once don't be so crazy! You could hit Phoebe, or Pamela!" Pamela nodded, smiled, "That's right. We're your family. I'm your mother. Stop trying to hurt us. You don't hurt family" She said softly, reaching out to lay a hand on Nicholas's cheek. Phoebe stalked, with an almost swaying motion, to Crane. "You can't win. Because you can't understand Family"

Connor looked over to Jack, hesitated himself, looked to Kijani then back to Estella. "Um. Well, Ben hasn't been seen in a while. Not since Luther was killed." How long ago had that been now? A wekk, two? Longer?

[Eviledd1984]

"Hehehehehe you think you won but only delayed the enviable...Die Irae...." Johnathan spoke to Nicholas beginning to laugh loudly making Nicholas and the creature groan and moan in pain,The creature started to move around hold it's vine hand out in pain it's body morphing around that it started to look more human."M...mm...momma...h...h..he..lp...me...P..a..in..." It moaned yelling out in pain slowly shrinking down to return back to Nicholas.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Estella chuckled nervously, an actual audible chuckle. The sound surprised her and she stopped suddenly. "That's new. I don't remember being able to do that. Coming back to school so far had been the most normal thing to happen. Actually maybe they could answer a few things that Jack didn't want to talk about. "Can you tell me anything about Ben. Jack seems hesitant to talk about him."

@t2wave

Kijani spoke softly, not even having the energy to wonder how Estella was speaking out loud, and laughing even. "Ben is smart. Quite skilled, and not afraid to ignore the rules when they're unsuitable. He will be something, someday." She paused, her mind suddenly on a different tack. "...I feel as if I haven't seen him in a while. Where could he have got to?" The last she'd heard of Ben was the night they had all assaulted Lexcorp, and- She tried to push the sudden wash of fear away, tried to banish the stink of bleach and blood from her nose. Still, she felt the cold sweat breaking onto her skin. Ben was dead, wasn't he? Otherwise there should have been something. Some word, some news... Another person she'd ruined with her weakness. "He was... an ally." Her throat was closing up. "Excuse me. Bathroom." She got up, her face looking suddenly waxen, and she made her way toward the girl's locker rooms. It was close, and she barely made it to a stall before she started to vomit.

[MarshiestMallow]

"You're not going to get near Nicholas again" Phoebe simply said, vines moving,'wrapping around crane, around his body up and down. She looked over to her mother and Nicholas, grimacing slightly. Pamela knelt, "shhh, shhhh. It's okay. I'm here. Just focus on my voice." She said softly, unable to even think of anything she could do. It just seemed like all she could do was watch.

****

Connor watched Kijani go, hesitsted for a few seconds, and then followed her, at least to the doors, where he stood staring at the 'girls' on the door. It was like a sign that essentially said 'no men allowed'. He stood there, frowning and ran a hand through his hair. So he would wait.

The creature slowly turned back into Nicholas with his slacks ripped and shirtless,He was covered in some of the vines and flowers his hair and skin color turned normal.But his body was ice cold and limp the young man breathing softly that was soon fading."Hehehehe too late now....i killed him my own son...and even if you save him he will be scared for the rest of his life..." Johnathan smiled laughing still that echoed thoughout the warehouse.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe couldn't stand the laughing, and she leaned back, slamming a kick towards crane, hoping to knock him out, but not caring anymore, she moved towards her mother and Nicholas, kneeling down as well, she looked over at the sound of footsteps, seeing her father. Bruce gave a signal and a nurse and doctor team came rushing in, and Phoebe moved back, out the way as they began to work on Nicholas. After a brief hug to Bruce, Phoebe went over to Ryan. She could admit now that she had been scared there, even for a few moments.

[Flood]

Flood watched the entire scene with an impassive stare after calming down. A rage that he thought he had buried long ago had resurfaced. "I going to kill him." He stated this very simply. This was not a goal, this was a fact. "My father just abandoned me. This man actively tortured his son for his own gain. He will die by the end of the day, this I swear on my blood." He took a knife out of his pocket and sliced his hand open. He let the blood drain out as his wound already began healing. He then turned towards Bruce. "Forgive me for the violent rage earlier. One of my more protective personalities had taken over. I am in full control now." He told him.

[Eviledd1984]

They nurses took over moving along to the hospital in the school,One of the nurses stopped and turned to talk to Bruce."He doesn't look that good...he looks pretty bad but we can try our best to heal him..." She said in a low quiet voice her had looking down.

[MarshiestMallow]

Bruce sighed heavily at Flood and said "Do not become a murderer for someone who doesn't deserve it. Crane is nothing but a mistake, and you shouldn't waste your time with him. He will live a long life, with no possible way of escape, and suffer every day" He stepped away from Flood as the nurse came over, sighed once more and said "Do everything you can. We arent losing a student because of this. Get Mimic. Have him copy one of the students who can use healing abilities, and see if he can do anything. Do everything you can. Just don't lose him"

The nurse nodded her head walking along to the school unknown to him that the nurse he was talking to was Reinhardt who kept his cover looking worried and oing to see Nicholas.

[MarshiestMallow]

It was Clark who noticed the nurse, and frowned, remembering the student, or what he had taken to be a student, who had disappeared, evidently a shape shifter. Or really good at disguises. He gave a nod to Bruce, and followed them back. "if you don't mind, I'm going to tag along. Just in case the kid is still effected by what Crane did to him" Clark said, matching the sped of the team. Pamela sighed, and rose, watching the nurse take Nicholas away. She looked over to Phoebe, knowing she was safe, and looked back to Nicholas, shifting as Bruce came over. "I'm going to sign the treaty. And I want to teach. You've got holes in your security, Bruce." She said, and walked away, soon hidden in the plants along the way back to the school, heading back that way.

[Eviledd1984]

The nurses along with Nicholas on the gurney brought him to the recovery room in the school with the head nurse calling Mimic,"We have a student here that is critical condition and we need your help..." He said rubbing Nicholas hair while another was wrapping his wounds with bandages.

@Caits

Ryan hugged her and smiled down at her. "Funny thing was that I planned on talking to your parents today about us. The whole ring thing. Not exactly how I planned this." He said to her not noticing anyone else. He might have said it a bit too loud.

[twave]

@Avanhelsing Kijani and Connor ran off. Their explanations didn't tell her a whole lot. Something big happened that was for sure. Maybe she should lay off the questions for a bit. Heading back over to Jack, Estella smiled a bit. "Jack, I think I can speak."
