[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

"How's about we all calm the hell down!" Jack yelled sick of their yelling and fighting. "We are suppose to be a team. You know that right?! Act like it!" He yelled at them. Anthony did not have control of this. "Good lord. The way you all act..."

[knight125]

Ben yelps as the snow falls, climbing even farther up Connor, and now sitting on his head. He whines, "Save me Stainless Steel, I'm afraid of snow!"

Anthony glances back at Katherine and sighs, "Thank you, that was very helpful." He laughs at Jack, "Yes, we should listen to you because right now, you're the epitome of calm." Turning back to Connor he shrugs, "Take off the suit and I'll show you. No? Then get back to work. Take all of the rubble out of the streets so emergency vehicles have a way to come through here." He wades through the snow and as he passes Kijani, he whispers, "Come with me."

[MarshiestMallow]

As Ben scaled him, the snow falling around him, Connor roared, reaching behind to rip Ben of his back, and threw the boy away from him, seemingly not caring what happened to him. "Take off the suit? Never!"

At this Phoebe cried out, running up, the vines forming automatically, not sure what she would do if anything.

[knight125]

Ben cries out as he's thrown by Connor. He crashes into a nearby building, then falls to the ground with a sickening thud, blood pooling around his head.

[KatherinWinter]

"Well at least I did something!" Katherin says angrily. Anthony was supposed to be in charge of this mission and it was falling apart. She didn't know why the guys were acting so crazy but it needed to stop.

[Avanhelsing]

Jack sighed. They were screwed. "Better than listening to you. At least I'm useful.." Jack muttered. He looked at Connor. "Cause the suit is you? All you have? Maybe you need to learn to be without it. " He said calmly. He ignored him throwing Ben around until he saw the blood! "Ben! "He rushed over. This looked bad. Worse than before. He shook him. Hoping he was okay. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He yelled at Connor. He said looking around at the snow.

[MarshiestMallow]

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" Phoebe found herself yelling at Connor, feeling sick, wanting to check Ben was okay, unable to do so now.

Connor turned to her, the vines being thrown around him. He let them, and then broke them, ready to attack. That is, until the red mist forms. It hovers on the air between Connor and Phoebe for a moment, and then as Conmor stumbles and Phoebe stands straight, it seems to disappear.

Phoebe vines disappeared a moment later, and she looked about as if bored.

Ikr. I caught myself. ))

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani looked torn, but didn't want to get any further into a fight. But she was worried about Ben, and more than willing to make Connor pay for being an ass. "What do you want, Anthony?" She stayed where she was, trying to get a sense of what the heck was going on.

Sue

The last thing Sue could see were her classmates rushing to her then a faint voice was heard with an obvious roar. Then nothing; black – she had fainted.

Never had she actually tried to control the direction of her soundwaves, let alone direct it into a cone, much like a cannon. Never had she forced herself so much to have to take down something as tenacious as the Hulk. If that was the damage she could do at just a volume of FOUR, what could she do with higher volume levels?

When she finally came to, she was staring at the ceiling. She tried to turn her head, but her headphones were in the way. She took them off and rolled all over the bed like a cat, stretching every part of her body. She was exhausted, her mental faculty strained, her physical not so much. She read the note that was from Anthony, which read:

"Sue, during the battle with Dr. Banner, you fainted after pushing yourself too far. Once you wake up, the kitchen is fully stocked if you're hungry or thirsty, and there's a phone next to the bed if you want to call us. We're just cleaning up rubble and helping the injured now. If you go into the backyard, don't be surprised to see three baby tigers. They were fed a large meal this morning, so they won't be hungry. The white one is the leader, so if he likes you, his sisters will also.

-Anthony Luthor"

”Tigers?” she thought to herself. She reluctantly got out of bed and, though she struggled to keep herself up at first, she managed.

The house was beautiful and large - figures, coming from a Luthor. It felt endless, and it was cold. Goosebumps all over her arms, she rubbed them gingerly. She hadn’t brought a jacket with her but surely she’d just get used to it soon.

She finally found the kitchen and practically ransacked the whole refrigerator. She could not hold all of the food in her arms as she ravenously ate through the fruits and a chicken leg. She did not want to finish everything though, trying not to be a horrible guest. She actually wanted to see the tigers. But first, she took a marker and drew a penis on one of the mirrors. She snicked noiselessly at her childishness.

When she reached the backyard door, it automatically opened for her. The warmth on her skin from the Sun felt amazing, and so did the sight of the cutest little tigers! She hurriedly ran to the pen, opened the door and gently walked towards the adorable white one. She was fine with animals, but she also loved the extreme. She loved extreme animals, in that matter! She caressed the little snow-white and laid between the three. Soon enough they were crawling all over her, sniffing and purring around her. Sue had a natural aura of benevolence. She was nice to every being, and she felt relaxed with the little overgrown kittens.

She got up for a quick three-minute nap, and locked the pen behind her as she left. She wanted to know where the others were. The Hulk! She suddenly remembered!

The note did say that she could call them. She guessed that Anthony forgot that she couldn’t talk. She had to go help, but she had no idea where they were.

She patted herself clean of dirt. She had to figure out where they were and quick. For all she knew the Hulk was coming her way. She had to get out of this house. She ran around the enormous house to find the main door. She found it, and ran out, pushing it hard.

She was facing an open field, the shiny façade of the building reflecting light and heat into the outside, the trees and scenery beautiful, but way yonder she could see the smoke and dust, and missing buildings of the once beautiful New York City.

She had to get there, but she didn’t want to use music just yet, too soon in case she’d attract more unwanted attention.

She turned around, and after leaping a good height, clapped and the shockwave pushed her into the air and towards the city. She repeated the process of clapping in the air until she finally landed on one of the buildings of the city.

She looked around, hoping to find anyone she could recognize. She heard yelling in the desolate city, and clapped her way towards it, atop a building to see what had been going on.

She was several stories high up, just above her classmates who were fighting amongst themselves. She was annoyed; she did not expect this attitude from them. So she snapped her fingers against the ears, creating a loud snap that echoed and reverberated throughout the city.

She held her arms out to the side, a gesture of “What the heck?”

[twave]

Having been told off by Kijani, Esuterura went "silent". Not being able to speak was a real problem for her. Rather than dwell on it though she continued working and ignored any thoughts outside her own. This planet was insane. Not that hers was perfect, but at least there weren't monsters running around destroying things for no reason. She'd finished clearing a street and took a deep breath to calm down. In a slightly better mood she finally noticed something was off. It was like a change in the air. Emotions were heating up where she'd left everyone else.

Heading back she stopped a little ways away to get an idea what was going on. Tension was high with everyone yelling at each other. All that stopped being as important when she saw Ben injured on the ground. What had she missed? She thought they'd stopped the Hulk. Whatever was happening she wanted no part of it, but she couldn't leave Ben lying in the street like that.

Approaching the others she checked on Ben first. She heard the loud snap and looked up at Sue. She get the gesture and sent a message to her. I'm with you. I'm not sure what's gotten into them.

[knight125]

Anthony stands close to Kijani and speaks quietly so their conversation won't be overheard. "I haven't known you all for very long, but even I know something is up with Connor. Has anyone else been acting strange while we were separated?" He glances up as Sue appears above them and puts a finger to his lip, motioning for silence.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe looks up at this sound, seemingly annoyed by it. She scanned the buildings,
Knowing it had to come from Sue. Who else? She thought.

She found herself snarling. She took a few steps away from the others, not even glancing at Ben, though she felt like she should help him, she didn't.

Connor blinked, looking about.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani nodded. "I was trying to tell Connor." She was whispering as well. "I noticed it myself. I did something... off, during the fight, and I can't remember why I did it, what I was thinking." Her attention was taken up by a noise she didn't recognize. Not Sue's snap, though she did notice it. Something else. "...Uh..." She looked back to Anthony. "...correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Flower Girl over there usually... I dunno, nice?" She frowned, starting to really piece things together. "Something... weird is going on."

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue wasn’t sure how to react or respond to the telepathic message. She had never thought about it, how to reply to something like that. She didn’t think that the words in her head would actually be spoken out to the mindreader, because that wasn’t vocalized, but conceptualized. So in essence, Sue simply thought to herself, hoping it’d be passed to Esuterura: ”What the heck is going on?”

Before she let her reply, Sue jumped off the building. Right before she was a floor away from hitting the ground, she snapped her fingers again; the tiny sound blast sent a gush of air that halted her descent for a brief second, before falling again with little accelerated momentum.

She saw Kijani and hugged her. She mouthed "thank you" to Anthony and hugged him too. She then saw Phoebe, and let go of Kijani and started hastily running towards Phoebe, arms open and ready to embrace her. She then saw Ben out of the corner of her eye, and stopped in place. She was scared, standing still in the middle of everyone.

She then gestured again with her arms out to the side. She turned to Kijani and signed: "What is going on?!"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani was startled by Sue's hug, but half returned it. Then when the question came, she signed. "Stay alert. We're trying to figure it out."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe stared at Sue as if she was the last person she wanted to see. She spun, walking away, vines growing around her arms as if she was in danger.

She moved away from them, pleased no one was stopping her.

[knight125]

Anthony frowns and asks, "Am I imagining things, or did a red mist appear for a moment between Connor and Phoebe? We need to gather everyone together and find out if anyone else has noticed anything weird." He looks down in surprise as Sue hugs him, and after a moment's hesitation, hugs her back. Anthony lets Sue go after a few seconds, after which, she runs off to inquire about Ben.

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue's face grimaced in confusion. She turned back to see Phoebe walking away. So she ran towards her and hugged her from behind.
