Scarlet A.K.A. Allison Carver

Scarlet had woken up early. She practically always ran on a small number of hours to sleep. Being on the run and constantly fighting back taught her that she could get by with little sleep. She decided that since she didn't have to go by her usual morning routine of packing up and relocating, she might as well work on extending the use of her telepathy. Her most powerful strength and she could barely use it. She didn't have much chance to train it and her other abilities really just happened.

Best way she found to train her telepathy was kick it into overdrive. Let the invisible tentacles of her mind reach out and search at their own desire. She became more of a world wide web of the minds around her rather than a person in control. She had no idea what information came in she just knew none of it was going out. Still the fact that she didn't know what she was absorbing meant she had lost control. It took a long time of practice with Raptor to keep from flooding others with what was in her brain, but they had succeeded on that point. But now that he was gone she didn't believe she could ever get full control of her power. All of a sudden seconds starting to feel like hours. Minutes felt like days. A whole hour felt like a month. All of this because she was living each second of those in her range now.

Luckily before she went to far into the rabbit hole, a message went over the sound system to meet up in the lounge. It broke her out of her self-induced trance. She walked out of her 'room' and followed a few others. She really had no clue where anything was. Before the meeting started she walked over to the person in charge and said, "Hi. I'm Allison. Sorry for being late to show up."

She stood towards the back and listened in on the meeting. Great matching suits. Isn't this suppose to be a superhero team not a fashion show. Also team-ups? No. She already had the best partner she could have had and she had no idea where he was, but she knew she would not replace him. Then something funny happened. Another woman came in and switched places with the first. It was the one called Wicked. That wasn't the funny part though. What was funny was that an older guy who should have been some sort of figure to lookup to for the younger ones started complaining about how his stuff had been messed with. Then he just started to leave the room. Well that's definitely the best way to solve an issue. Ha NOT! "Ha. Seems as if we have a child in the body of a twenty something year old. Seriously though if she burned your stuff means you did something to deserve it. Also funny how you say she's lucky when pretty sure you know nothing about her. You probably got off easy for what you did." Really Allison had no real idea of Wicked either other than a little bit about her personality from the various minds in the facility she could access. Powerful and deadly were the overarching ideas she got. This guy was in for a rude awakening if he kept pushing his boundaries around people with powers. Same went for all of the others in this 'team' who thought they were all that. No way would this work for long unless they got it through the peoples thick skulls that they couldn't do everything on their own.

"You know what. Keep pouting about trivial things. I don't care. I'm gonna go practice." She said as she phased through Mike. "Heh. Nice abs, kid."

WICKED FLAME

Wicked Looked at Omega and said. "You and I will discuss that outside in a moment." She turned away from him and she asked for more questions on anything Tia had said. There weren't any so she dismissed them. "Okay go to your rooms, change into your new suits and get to your assignments." She went outside to wait for Omega. When he showed up she said, "You owe me an apology. You called me old and the other day you thought I didn't hear you call me classless but I did. I also took but did not burn the sentimental things. I am not cold in fact I'm quite the opposite. The few things I did burn you can go into the store upstairs and replace for free. I would hope this is not how you would treat all women. One night together does not make you my boyfriend. It means I wanted to have sex and I chose you, for whatever reason. Now, you will find your things already returned to your room." With that Wicked turned and went back inside.

KAIN
AKA; Kain

"Friends, who needs 'em! You just keep hiding behind those excuses all you want, that fallible logic and poor reasoning.
I will expose you... there's no harm in admitting your weakness and failings. After all the responsibility you have is a large burden to bare."

Kain's taunting at Wickid bordered malice as he chuckles and gasps in pain. Once she was truly gone he collapsed into the bed.

Soon Tia arrived,
"Is she ok?" he struggles to ask on raspy breaths. "the car, you were gentle?"

"Fill me in, what have I missed?"

[Wick]

INERTIA/Tia Clark

"Yes, Kain. Your beautiful car is still perfect. I put it in its spot. You sure made an impression on Eddie. When he saw me drive it in he left the garage just to be safe from you." She chuckled. "At least this is normal for you. Considering your fever I think this is good. Kain? Why did you leave the HQ? Why did you go into the city? You can't even move. Your pain had to be....terrible." Tia asked.

"When I found out that one of the nurses had taken you out of here I was livid. How could she take you out in that condition. It was completely irresponsible of her. You could have died had you not gotten back here when you did."

Tia watched one of the nurses come in and adjust his antiobiotics. "What did you miss? Well there was a pool party. Wicked got pissed at Omega and burned some of his stuff. Grant was recalled back to the military for some secret mission. R&D has finished with the suits the team members will wear. This is one of them." Tia stood up and modelled the Blue and red suit that enhanced her slim but curvy figure. "The other color suit is black and gold. You get 2 of each. We are starting missions in shifts. Pairs always."

@Dark Light

[Dark Light]

Kain struggles not to smile as it clearly hurt but he couldn't help it as Tia moddled the outfit.

"Speaking of suits, I guess we have a pretty big budget, I need access to recourses and an engineering team."

Kain breathes deeply after those many words.

"Oh, Tia. Thanks for worrying but I was fine. It would have been irresponsible for her to oppose me." the look in his eyes told Tia he was serious.
"Pay her out well will you, it was unfair of me.
What have we learnt of the attack, I couldn't find anything..."
The disappointment of his failings evident in his shaky voice.
@Wick

[Wick]

INERTIA/Tia Clark

Tia looked at him a little confused and curious. "What do you need recourses and an engineering team for?" Tia took his hand in hers for a moment and rubbed her thumb across his hand back and forth while she spoke. It was soothing, and she said "Don't worry, she is paid handsomely. She is also lucky that Wicked was here. I would probably have blown her up."
"The investigators from the agency have been to the crime scene and are trying to determine if it was a witch's spell or if it was someone reopening the gates. They aren't sure yet. I would think they will know soon enough. No worries ok. We couldn't be in a better position if they are being opened again. The gates of hell were opened twenty years ago." His eyes widened a little bit and she smiled. "Don't look so surprised."

"They were opened by Damon Hellstrom. The team that was in place then took on the job of closing the gates and capturing Hellstrom. The prophecy was fulfilled. The angel who cried tears of fire had to be the one to close the gates, and she did. We lost a lot of people that day. We lost some great heros too. Sideswipe, Dark Duchess and Hunter were just three from our team. There were others from other teams. The human life that was lost was just horrifying."

She could see the question in his eyes. "Wicked is the angel who cries tears of fire."

@Dark Light

[Dark Light]

"You can call your dark magics 'demons' all you like but I ain't buying this prophecy bullshit. It's a excuse for people to fail to act. Callin' her an angel...
Look no offence to your family but the fact so many died and she is still around doesn't comfort me or the path of our cause one bit."

Kain retreats into himself for a moment with a groan as he closes his eyes and steadies his breath.
"Can you get me those things? Or must I go else where?"
He gently squeezes her hand. His intention unclear.
Was it hope, was he pleading, did he want to hold her or was it just a twitch.
His eyes slowly open and he looks at her from within those different coloured irises.

Sound Wave

James was about to respond to Omega's question after thinking of a cool way to explain his powers in order to look impressive, but his teammate's attention was drawn back to their leader. He waited for his teammate to be done conversing with Wicked and then give him his answer.

"To answer your question, I can run and fly at supersonic speeds, I also am able to emit hyper sonic waves for combat purposes. I hope that it will keep up with your incredible abilities" James replied to Omega and was thinking about what kind of training someone with his kind of abilities would do. Healing and super strnegth seemed like something that would excellent together and telekenisis would also grant his teammate range capabilities.

@FunnyGuy

[Wick]

Tia looked at Kain. "You still haven't told me what you need them for? Believe it or not I still have to explain why we buy or pay for things. If you want those things I need to know why. I want to help you but I have to answer to people too."

She sighed. "As far as Wicked goes. There is so much that you don't know. I understand how you might be skeptical." She looks at his eyes and smiles. "You have very beautful eyes."

Tia stood up to leave. "I have to get back."

@Dark Light

[Dark Light]

@Wick
Kain skips past the compliment pretending he didn't hear it. He groans as he lifts his arm to signal Tia.
"Those things, can you get them for me? I gotta find some way to spend my time in here. Otherwise might find myself wandering."
Despite his discomfort he manages to give her a playful wink.
"Like I said T, speaking of suits, I wanna make my own."
He rolls his eyes
"I'll even match the rest of the cheerleaders colour scheme."
He says sarcastically once again closing his eyes and resting.
"But seriously, I need to be doing something. I need those things."

Red Strike (Ro'Kun)

"Ground pounder?" he echoed in a whisper, but she kept talking. He decided to keep listening, and nodded as he did so. The girl was cute, especially because of how talkative and ecstatic she seemed. Other than the explosion in the pool yesterday, he had no idea what she was like. Seemed she was a faced paced kinda gal.

"I'm willing to try most anything." he said casually. "I can't run that fast, granted. I can..."
He knelt down, grabbed her ankles, and placed her feet on one of his hands. He lifted her up above his head nonchalantly, balancing her entire body on one outstretched palm. "lift things. And I can dodge most anything. My strength is in my legs too, so I can run faster than the normal person, and jump much higher. But I'm no flash, if you catch my drift."

He set her back down, and smiled invitingly. "But if you got something to help me go faster, sign me up."

Omega a.k.a Michael Watts

"People are too damned sensitive around here." Omega said under his breath as Wicked departed. There are times where I wonder why the government even put me on a team of... superheroes... I mean I'd be way better off in some solo covert ops missions. And it's only day two.

Omega floated inside and straight to his room to see his things back in place. He snickered at a picture of himself holding up a tank full of puncture holes in what looked like a desert.

"Those were the days." He said to himself before sighing at his socks. He reached out his hand towards his closet which opened. With a little musing, out came a gold and black uniform. And to think I was about to invest in the Squints.

After a moment he placed his suit on, a little less grumpy that he didn't need socks with it. He landed on the floor and departed from his room and went straight to the gym upstairs.

"Daddy's home." He said as he saw his sanctuary. As he circled the machines he smiled. He did not touch them however. He took a breath with his hands at his sides before exhaling and slowly raising his arms up. Treadmills, ellipticals, presses, and all manner of fitness machine in the gym began to rise. The vein on his head bulged as he found the task to be difficult. The weight alone wasn't the problem. Trying to lift multiple things in an area that were varied in different heavy weights was. This was more of a control issue. One wrong move, and a treadmill could end up crashing through the ceiling. He grunted in pain as his head began to throb like a bad hangover from a 21st birthday. Let them down one at a time. You got this. Omega thought as he slowly let down one of the presses. It would only get easier as he let go of each workout station. After about a minutes he seemingly lowers the last object down. "Hell yeah..." He said out of breath before the bang of a bench press hitting the floor was heard. His eyes nearly shot out from his head as he realized he had forgotten. "Shit... uh... doubt anyone heard it." He assured himself. He took a seat on one of the bike machines and rested as he placed an index and middle finger to his temple and rubbed it.

Visi-Play AKA Miles Bronson

Nodding to Tia, Miles stood Alright then, I'll get my new suit on and get started... he said turning to head out on patrol. Turning to Izzy and looking back over to Tia Can I personally call on Izzy for back up if I need it? He asked his team leader and turned back to Izzy That's if you want me to call you?...

@POOHEAD189

At first when Ro'kun tried to touch her ankles she briefly thought of entombing him in every shred of metal that would answer her magnetic command but curiosity won out and allowed him to follow through.

She was mildly impressed that he could lift her and not make a comment about her that might make her want to follow through with her previously discarded action.

She smiled when he said " If you got something to help me go faster, sign me up"

"I'm how you go faster and as you have enhanced reaction speed and hopefully gymnastic skills we can practice quick release ddrop; I'm more vulnerable like most air assets when close to the ground.

I am a Mistress of Magnetism able to command one of the Grand Primal Elements that make up the fabric of reality. It is my command of the power of magnetism that allows me to fly and my top speed is only limited by my body exposure and need to breath. One of my other gifts is the ability to....." she paused before finishing her statement an bit her lip as she tried to figure how to explain her spatial awareness.

"I have another ability but it's difficult to translate because it's beyond even mechanically assisted senses.

I could say that I see and touch everything around myself simultaneously and if I add an active magnetic field I could conceivably count every hair on your body, tell you how much you weigh and your general health. The closest device I can think of that compares might be an MRI machine but they're slow and limited compared to me.

I know I'm bad a communicating and could use the excuse that I wasn't trained as a Diplomat but I won't; I loathe excuses seeing them as a crutch.

It is as it is or reality isn't the truth. You, I and they make mistakes and in the end they are what make us appear human to those around us, they define us as do our extraordinary abilities and set us apart as individuals." she finished speaking and realized she'd been perhaps babbling and blushed.

Her embarrassment caused her to bounce in the air and hover once more disconnected from the earth. It is only her constant practice of self control that keeps things like paper clips and other small pieces of metal from leaping on her body

[Lunar]

"Oh, Ya, that's fine with me." She said to Tia before looking over at Miles blushing a little. "If you ever get into a pinch I'll be there to help. I am a hero after all" she said smiling a little before asking Tia "so who's my partner?" Then she said "I hope I don't get stuck with someone I'll hate" under her breath. @King Tai@Wick

"If you have need of a certain persons skillset then yes you may ask for that person. Izzy and Allison will partner up."

[POOHEAD189]

Red Strike (Ro'Kun)

The description of her powers, particularly her spatial awareness, both intrigued and unnerved him a bit. He felt very vulnerable, or at least exposed, though it was neat. He stood tall, smiling wider as she bounced up excitedly like a fairy. He couldn't help but admire her energy and endearing personality. She was a real cutie.
"If you'd like to practice a quick release drop, I would be game." he said to her. He gave a small laugh, his muscled arms crossed as he watched her.

Jess looked at Ro'kun after he took her up on the suggestion that they practice hot drops an smiled.
"All right, just let me notify the squints an their minions here that we need a tandem harness an then we can strain and hookup after which I suggest a few slow touch practices and a few fast touch an goes. Once you feel you have the rhythm were can drop it until you feel tired.

Don't want to hurt you before we get to the real thing." she said cheerfully an then tapped her Comms

"Attention!
Attention!
League HQ Squints an Handlers this is call sign Drifter requesting quarter master assistance.
I need a type A117 duo prepped and ready look for Red Strike Stats for carry"

Then Jessica looks a Ro and giggles
"Well now I get to see if the Local Handlers can Handle me?"

[Lunar]

"I'll be on my way then" she said as she got her suits and went to her room to put one under her clothes. After she closed her door and locked it after all she didn't want anyone coming into her room and burning her stuff. Though she doubted a door would stop any of them. She decided to go to the the training room and meet her new 'partner' and to mostly train. She was getting a bit rusty.

Once she got there she saw who she assumed was Alison and came over to greet her. "Hello I'm Izzy. You must be Alison. Apparently were partners for the time being." She said looking around the room. It was a bit bigger than a gymnasium with all sorts of work out gear, weights, and and even platforms attached and hung by ropes on the ceiling. After greeting her she went the scenter of the room and stood in silence for a moment before making a series of different blades down her arms. There were big ones, small ones, serrated ones, razor ones, curved ones, and even made her fingers into large blades. There must have been more than forty blades on her arms and hands.

Then retracting her blades she looked up at the platforms attached to the roof and decided that she wanted to get up there some how. She concentrated on thinking of how she could get up there. Them with an idea she said to herself "flying, I like flying." as she sort of bent over before huge dragon-like wings shot out of her back. After she figured out how to move them properly she bent her knees and raised her wings ready to flap. And with a loud *fwoosh* she shot off the ground making a gust of wind in a 360 degree circle around herself along with the noise and the disruption of some weights and various other appliances. Once she was on the platform she folded in her wings but didn't get rid of them and thought to herself "I'm pretty high up" while looking down which didn't seem to bother her. While looking over the edge she yelled "sorry!" Before beginning to meditate.

She stared trying to make as many body party and blades as she could. While she was meditating arms and legs started to sprout out of her sides and waist, along with her wings extending and growing claws and blades. Then with a sudden burst a set of chitin-looking bone armor sprouted all over her body and new limbs except how ever her head which in stead grew three sets of horns making a crown across her head and her teeth becoming elongated and sharp. Then the calves of her leggs began the grow in width and her feet grew into claws. Her shoulders sprouted two sets of spikes, the ones on the outside taller. This is how meditations usually go to her standards. @alexfangtalon

Omega a.k.a Michael Watts

Omega looked up to see two newcomers in the gym. He did not really recognise one, but the other was not so easy to forget. He had remembered ignoring the girl, due to his anger at Wicked. He did remember her insults though. And where's my partner for today? God I hope he's not a lazy one. I'm the lazy one!

"How's that gonna help you in a battle?" He didn't care if they heard it or not.

The man shook his head before letting the two females do their own thing and heading over to what looked to be anther section of the gym. He raised an eyebrow as it seemed to be more of an empty chamber than anything.

"They could have at least... What's this?" He thought at as he looked at the weird paneling along the walls and ceiling and the terminal by the entrance of the chamber. He wasn't too great with computers, but he played with the terminal, until he figured out what it was. His eyes lit up asome he viewed scenarios on the screen. The Gates of Hell, Alien Invasion, Battle for the HQ, Custom....

He hit Gates of Hell and set the difficulty to moderate. He was itching to put it on a harder level, but he did not even know what chamber really was. The display then went to settings that seemed like ways to make the simulation harder. He set to Round by Round mode where the simulation would get harder with each round of combat. He hit the start button before the chamber door started to close.

"Wait what?" He said as the panels flashed once.

"One hero. Omega. Gates of Hell. Round by Round. Moderate." A computerized male voice said as Omega looked around in caution. The door finally shut behind him. Suddenly several grotesque humanoids spawned on the other end of the room. They're flesh burnt and flaking away as they moves. They snarled and focused theiron glowing red eyes on Omega as he took a breath.

"Bring it."
