Jess looked at Micheal an smiled
"I am curious if I can sense your ability in function, if it causes disturbances in the magnetic field. I mean as it is a mental power and the brain functions off of electrical impulses and electricity disrupts magnetic fields I believe it is possible.

Of course I hope yours isb't as tactile as my own because it might be embarrassing " she says with a giggle.

She floats into the air and smiles as she causes the air around her to vibrate by exciting what little ferrous dust there is by creating a shield which gathers it all up then expels it out at the top of the globe which surrounds her.

"There I've cleared my suit and hair of the oxides that normally surround everyone so it shouldn't make me feel slippery"

Omega

Omega kept his eyes closed and smirked at Jessica's vocabulary.

"You love your big words, don't you?" He joked. "And I'm not telling you to stop, I get enough of what you say to make some sense of it." He chuckled as he took a breath.

Omega tried to focus and guess where Jessica was, which was failing miserably as he felt an emptiness as he went to lift or grasp her.

"Damn..." He said to himself as he reached out with his hands. He usually did this as a way to make things easier. It was equivalent to training wheels for him. "Don't squirm once I get you, okay? And you're just gonna feel a little pressure and... gotcha! And you're squirming" He said as he lifted her up high. Omega opens his eyes only to see one of the landing pad guards floating in the air while flailing about.

"Hey man, come on!" The guard demanded. Omega chuckled and put the man down before sighing. He looked at Jessica and shook his head in defeat before balling his fists.

"I can do it. I just have to feel you out. And no, I don't care how perverted that sounds, I have to do it." Omega said as seriously as possible before closing his eyes and smiliny. "You ready? Pick a new spot so it's fair." He said as he got ready to try again.

Jess watched silently as Omega tried to find her once more. It wasn't like she'd been taught because she'd started out small lifting an describing what she had been presented while wearing a blacked out helmet that nor only obscured her normal vision but monitored her brain activity while she did what she'd been commanded to do.

The helmet had actually in the beginning interfered with her magnetic spatial awareness by creating almost a white noise. She'd asked that they use just a blindfold but the squints had refused telling her that she'd simply need to learn a way around it.

It had taken her a week to learn how to shift frequencies to negate the noise and when she did they shifted the sensors frequency and accusing her of tampering which was untrue.

They had continued to press her to perform their test and accusing her of tampering it was then that she realized that she was becoming invisible to the magnetic sensors by focusing her control on frequencies their sensors weren't calibrated to detect. The squints had then proved how clever they were by making an even more complicated sensor grid that shifted through the magnetic bands on multiple levels simultaneously. not to be out done by her antagonists she'd developed a more subtle approach that used their own sensors to boost her of awareness by layering her own complex signal. It was how she learned to disappear off of even the most sensitive scopes in the lab. This lead to her realizing that she could use this new found control to disappear from the larger sensors they used to track her in flight.

Omega

Omega was doing something he never took the time to do. Feel. With his sight gone, Omega could only rely on what he could feel with his telekinesis. His eyebrows raised as he could feel more than he thought he would. The ground... man even the breeze.

"Slim, armored, and definitely a woman." Omega said with his eyes closed before lifting Jessica up. Omega opened his eyes with a huge smile as he had lifted Jessica. "This is fucking incredible, it's like I can feel... everything. I'm just really slow with it, but it's a start." He walked up to Jessica and put his fist out for a pound. "You make a good teacher. If you're not tired or busy, I can use help identifying stuff. Like go place random things on the ground, preferably inside, and I can guess what they might be or if you have something else in mind. It's all your call. I don't want you to feel like I'm using you. We're friends, I'd you wanna tell me to 'go fuck off and do it on your own' it's cool." He said as he didn't want this to be a one-sided affair.

INERTIA

Tia changed into a normal outfit of denim jeans and a tank top with a pair of gym shoes. For the outting she pulled her hair up in a scarf. Green hair was still not very commonplace and it would be easy to identify her if she was not cautious. Tia wanted to go to the old spot that Wicked had taken her to when she was a teenager. She hoped she could remember how to get to it. Tia went to the garage and grabbed her bike. It had been so long since she had ridden it and she desperately needed to feel free even if only for a little while. She would explain to Miles later but right now she needed to do this.

Tia went to the right mile marker and she hid her bike in the trees. Next she had to search as the entrance was hard to find even if you knew where it was. It took her a while. The overgrowth in the area had not been maintained well and it was invisible to the human eye. Only those who knew about it could find it and recognize it. She smiled in relief when she found it. Opening the door to another world was tricky. Tia closed her eyes and put her hand on the door and murmured the incantation. The door glowed and she walked through to the other side. The instant she passed through it it locked the door again.

Tia looked around her in amazement and she saw the waterfall and the hill beyond. As tradition dictated she stripped off all of her clothing and dove into the water. The water was so soothing and rejuvenating that when she got out on the other side she was handed a robe that wrapped around her like a toga and clipped on at the shoulder. There was a dangling gold belt to adorn it as well. The man who handed her the robe bid her welcome and she asked him, "Where is Bellare?" He said nothing but pointed to the castle.

Tia searched the castle. The rooms were large and filled with people. In a few there appeared to be orgies going on. She was not surprised to find Aphrodite among the occupants. Tia walked straight through those rooms and towards the rooms that were designated more for war and strategy. One of them was bound to have Bellare. She found her talking with Ares. When she entered the room they looked up from the map they were discussing. "Tia?" Bellare came forward. "What has happened?" Bellare looked at Ares and he nodded and left the room. Bellare pulled Tia to an outdoor stone bench and sat with her.

Tia told Bellare what had happened to Wicked over time and how finally they had had to take her down in order to protect mankind. Bellare, Bellisima and Wicked had been the best of friends Tia thought it only right to tell her in person. "Bell was here yesterday and told me about what happened. I am glad that you came to me. It is always a different version depending who you ask. You are the only one who could have done it. You and Shiver were the only ones who could know if she was truly gone or not. I am proud that you did it even though it hurt you so much to do it." Bellare hugged Tia and said. "My eldest daughter Enyo is going to go back with you. It is time that she put some of her training to work. I think you will find she is a little like her mother." Bellare beamed.

Tia laughed. "Well then I am sure we will be victorious." Tia waited as Bellare called her daughter to her. When Enyo entered she looked like a warrior princess, just like her mother did. Tia was so happy to see her old friend that she hugged her. "I'm sorry to hear about Wicked. She was a great warrior and will live on in you and Shiver." Enyo said. After a few moments Tia and Enyo headed back to the Waterfall. Tia had always wished she could have grown up on Mount Olympus like Enyo had. She felt better knowing that Enyo was with her.

Michaels words confused Jess for a moment because he seemed worried about offending; something she'd never known anyone to worry about.

"I'm not sure why you feel the need to pay me or that you might offend me by asking my help in improving yourself. If you were to examine the request logically you'd see that any improvement you might make will benefit me in the end. Your expansion of skill makes you a better asset in combat or rescue situations and removes part of the burden off myself; it is how a team operates." says Drifter in a soft tone her expression displaying an innocent confusion.

"I am benefited as well by learning to associate with others which was an area my handlers saw little need to teach me.

I am not a whole being and I am aware that even were I a mundane human I'd be thought a freak among my peers. I have no social skills and no experience among my age group, I' ve never kissed anyone not even a parent or sibling."

Visi-Play

Miles was looking around for Tia when he couldn't get a visual of her in the HQ. Not knowing where she went and not really wanting to just do nothing, he decided to try and contact his friend once again to meet up somewhere to try and handle getting back the HQ's equipment. Noticing Rey was a bit busy, he was not going to bother him.

Leaving Tia's room, Miles headed back to his own room to get his civilian clothes back on. If he was going to visit his old friend, he didn't want to look as if he was on duty and push him away further. His friend was the only one in the streets he trusted in what he needed. Hopefully Tito will take the moment to listen to him.

TIA SHIVER & ENYO

Tia dropped Enyo off at the door and went to put the cycle away. Enyo looked around at the outside of the building. She could see the repairs already underfoot on the 6th floor. The other buildings were quite modern looking. She went into the building and down the hall.

There was a door before the end of the hallway. She opened it with her hand on one of her blades. Shiver glanced up and jumped up from her seat. "Oh my goddess! Enyo!" Shiver grabbed her and hugged her. Shiver already knew about the swords and their deadliness. Enyo was wearing a long side skirt with an old version of spankies and a one sleeved top from Mt. Olympus. It accented her lean muscled physique. Her attitude shone in her eyes and no one dare cross her.

"You look great! How long are you here for?" Enyo smiled and hugged her back.

"I am here til I am not here." Enyo replied. Shiver smiled at the response. "That is true. I'm just so glad to see you!" The girls went into the office to talk and reminisce.

Shiver told her about the power change she suffered and she laughed as she told her about the lights in the hallway. She grabbed a keycard and took her to her room 3. "Room 1 is Tia's and 4 is mine so here you go. Go ahead and get settled in." Shiver showed her how to set her doorkey and she let her into her room.

Tia had walked into the building and she had watched quietly as Enyo and Shiver were reunited. She felt like she had stolen Shiver's mother from her and she knew that was not true in one way but it was still her body even though her mind was no longer in control. Tia slipped back outside and went around to her window and phased through the wall and lay on her bed contemplating her career at the Conspiracy or if she was willing to take Wicked's place. Bellisima had given her the option. Now all she had to do was make up her mind.

Enyo walked into her room slowly. She hadn't been in this world before. She had no idea what to expect. Enyo sat down on the couch and looked at the remote control to the tv with curiosity. She pushed a couple of buttons and the tv came on, it was loud and it was bright and it startled her. Enyo jumped up swords in hand and attacked the tv set.

When Tia ran through the wall to see what all the noise was and saw what Enyo had done she stared at her as she showed her proudly how she killed the demon in the box. It took everything in her body not to laugh at her in front of her. Tia ran back through the wall and into the office to Shiver. She shut the door and told her what happened. Shiver put her head on her desk and laughed herself silly. Shiver got up to go explain the electronics in Enyo's room to her. Tia felt better. She had needed that laugh. She went back to her room to contemplate.

Omega

"Well I guess you're right about the whole team thing." Omega said as he felt a little unintelligible for not thinking about the situation like Jessica did. When she explained her lack of social skills and "fun" experiences, he frowned. "You know what?! I know you don't want me to pay you back, but as your team member... No, as your friend I'm gonna help you uh, catch up and get all the skills and experience you need. All you need is a bucket list. Don't even have to write it down." He said as he poked Jessica's temple. "Just keep it up there. So far, you already made a friend, and yes I count." He smirked. "And a kiss? Easy. You have two choices. I could do it. It'll just be a kiss though, ok? Oooor we can go hunt someone down. We got the training out of the way so, let's get you trained in living life as you should."

Omega did not know why he was trying to help Jessica so desperately, but he could only describe it as himself yearning to do good by someone else for once. Like she had said, they were a team, and he'd help her just as she had helped him. He was no expert in science or the fundamentals of the use of powers, but he sure as hell knew how to have a little fun.

"You in?"

Red Strike (Ro'Kun)

After Ro'kun had finished training with that funny girl and the big guy, he decided to waltz around some more. Hands in his pockets and thick black hair flowing behind him, he turned the next corner and heard a loud TV exploding with noise from within one of the rooms. He could not pinpoint which one. He was near Tia's and Shiver's rooms...wasn't he? He was still lost, as usual. Kind of good, since he never minded walking around. Usually some weird shit happened when he did that.

Still, he wasn't sure what that loud noise was, or if it was from the TV. Also wait a second...for some reason, the past 3 times he's tried to find Tia and ask her what the hell was going on around here, something always got in the way. Shiver was in trouble, monsters attacked, Wicked went insane. Lotta odd shit. He contemplated this as he stood in the hallway, lips pursed and face considering. After a second, he shrugged. He banged on her door. "Hey Tia!"

Jessica laughed softly at the offer to be her first kiss an said
"Thank you for the offer to be my first but even as unskilled as I am I know boyfriend poaching is a dangerous pursuit and you are staked out territory. We might be innocent in our intentions but Shiver might not see it that way and the ensuing conflict between myself and she could be disastrous. I was permitted for the last year I was on Lively Island to attend movie night and my minimal observation of Romcoms left me with the impression that such things are like old artillery shells; unpredictable.

What I need socially at the moment is an older brother type, what the Japanese call a Sempi. I'm interested in eventually forming a sexual relationship with either a male or female of our species but my lack of complete understanding of people leaves me defenseless and open to being used.

I don't think I would handle that well in part because I was insulated from such things and on the other because I was trained to react aggressively to any and all attacks.

I'd most likely kill whomever was responsible and I am not speaking figuratively." says Jess in a spooky innocent cheerful tone speaking frankly about things few ever divulge.

Doctor

Amelia sat in Lotus position in the HQ's garden focusing her thoughts on achieving balance. It was a purely mental exercise which she used when her years began to weigh heavy on her and the recent violent events in her life had made her wonder why she'd felt the need to expose herself to the harsh reality of the mortal world.

Around the redhead flowers burst into full bloom even though they were months from having the energy to do so under normal conditions.

If any who perceived Aura were to be gazing at her at this moment they would behold the source of life manifested in her perfect form flowing from the air and earth.

She was the Fountain of Youth spoke of in legend and the reason people believed in eternal life.

She was where the legend of Inc the mortal queen of Thebes, who after her death and transfiguration was worshiped as a goddess under her epithet Leucothea mother of Dionysus.

She'd lost count of the Gods and Goddess who'd word her only to reveal themselves as petty beings who while powerful were no gods. She was Gaia in some legends though she never made such claims of godhood in fact being claimed a goddess or even a prophet was her greatest fear.

She was born of mortal parents who's faces she barely remembered and voices she could no longer hear and in her beginning as mortal as any girl of that time. That is till her first blood when she began to exhibit abilities that the local Queen an Priestess found out about and was ripped from her mother's arms.

She'd seen the fall of great Ur, made love as Inna to Gilgamesh and Enkiddu two of the first Meta besides herself. She was the legend of Isis and how she'd reassembled her butchered husband Ra.

Sometimes she wondered why she'd been cursed by time and made a vessel of life and in the past few days she'd begun to ask the question once more.

Realizing she was dragging up old wounds Evergreen banished such thoughts from her mind an focused on the positive. She had begun to encounter more and more regenerative meta in the past 50 years and while none had proved as enduring as herself she hoped so to find a companion with which to observe eternity and thus end her loneliness.

[FunnyGuy]

Omega

"Staked out territory?" Omega chuckled at how Jessica described it. She was right, however. Omega had not experienced a true relationship with a female before, so he didn't see any harm in being a bit too friendly with someone else.

When Jessica went on about wanting a big brother, Omega smirked. He was glad to fill that role if she let him.

"Sempi eh?" Omega crossed his arms over his chest, thinking about being something he had never been in his life. "Well I could see you as a little sister. I actually feel like your likeable to me, you're very innocent, but also dangerous, funny, but only because you sound like a computer half the time." Omega's smile became bigger as he spoke. "Okay, so now back to the bucket list. You ever been to a mall?... and shopped?" Omega asked.

"I understand the concept of a bucket list and perhaps have a short one already made but believe it to be beyond what is normally considered acceptable material.

First on my list is to achieve Orbital Altitude which is now within my ability to accomplish as I have recently acquired a specially made suit to supply my needs in such harsh conditions.

My Second most important need is problematic because if the Squints have been honest with me is a pipe dream. I want to know who my father is and was told that his genetics are not in any database known.

One Squint said that they did have a potential Mitochondrial trace of my father's Genographical origins to the region of Attica an the Peloponnesian people about 100 BCE to 200 CE. Strangely enough the trace shows my father born within two generations of the time period mentioned.

Third is personal freedom of movement, something I've never known.

I wonder what it is like to not be controlled in my life, to make my own choices. Basically I think of myself as a Slave of the dominant Homo Sapien society or at best an Indentured Military Conscript of undefined terms of service.

Fourth on my list is to find a true friend, someone who doesn't see me as a monster, who accepts me as a person.

The rest of the list is yet formed in a manner which I could communicate in an intelligible manner." says Jesse as she floats about a foot above the ground as she always does.

She actually blushes as she realizes that in a single conversation she's exposed more of her thoughts than she ever has before. The embarrassment is puzzling to her so she engages her well drilled mind to understanding why and is surprised by her first choice; he is like her a Meta and a male.

"I don't mean to sound like a computer; I suppose it sounds as if I am because my instructors an the squints insisted on my debriefings being as complete as I could make them.

It is why when I ran away that I eventually returned because try as I might I couldn't make friends. It reinforced how different I am than others my age. Honestly I thought it was because I am a Meta an they were Mundanes but since coming here an being surrounded by others who are Meta I have discovered that it goes deeper than that.

I want to be accepted without altering who I am to suit others because I think to do so would be dishonest and I enjoy honesty and the clarity it brings.

Sorry I suppose I got off track but for reasons I can't explain I feel the need to voice my concerns; I'd like to go to the mall but as I lack monetary resources think it would be a frustrating exercise "

[FunnyGuy]

Omega

Omega did it again. Stared blankly as Jessica spoke. He was actually listening this time, but was also try to fully understand her. He didn't want to end up making her do something she did not really want to do.

"Well you already got one thing off your bucket list." He smiled with a wink as he was mentioning him being her friend. "The rest will come in time. Just be patient." He assured. He was somewhat curious about Jessica's father. From what he understood, her father was someone extraordinary in being.

His thoughts focused on Jessica again.

"Ok. First, don't change your computer tone. I think it's to the point and it makes me chuckle, and not in a bad way. Second, you're just socializing, don't get a headache over it. You look like your getting constipated every time you feel a different emotion as we talk." Omega snickered. "Relax is what I mean. Just for a little at least." Omega suggested as he looked in the direction of the city. "Oh and third. Like 80% of people our age go to the mall and sometimes don't spend a dime on anything."

"Statistic is false." Sol replied. Omega's eyes opened wide before he scowled at his bracers.

"I should have left you in the room." He said to his equipment before looking at Jessica with a big embarrassed smile. "Anyway, it we want to spend money, I got you covered. I have... a lot of funds saved up. A lot. And I get paid a good amount to work here with the team. But who knows how long that'll last with management shifting." Omega floated into the air with quickness to meet Jessica's height. "So are you in? Or do you have more reasons not to live. Who knows the next time we'll be able to have some quality fun."

[Wick]

Tia, Shiver, and Enyo

Tia heard Ro'kun knocking on her door and she walked through it and startled him slightly. "What is it Ro'kun?" Just then they heard a crash come from the room next door and Shiver yelling. "NO that's the microwave!" Tia was chuckling and grinning. "Come on I'll introduce you to the new girl."

Tia opened the door and froze Enyo just as she was about to kill the Automatic timer on the coffee pot. Shiver was already laughing. "By the Gods she is going to be expensive! When are you coming off of vacation? I am sick of the paperwork already!" Shiver plucked the giant blades out of her hands and carefully laid them down on the floor.

Tia unfroze Enyo who was now swinging air and appeared confused. Enyo turned and looked at Tia. "You froze me again?" Tia grinned. "I had to, you are killing all of my expensive equipment."

"Enyo sat on the bed and looked at the floor. I know there is much for me to learn about this world. Could you take out the things that are expensive so I don't break them and cost too much. I am simple. I do not require much. A bed and food are really all I would need."

When Ro'kun first laid eyes on Enyo her long red hair hung in a long ponytail that actually trailed her on the floor by a couple of feet. Her outfit from Mount Olympus was skimpy at best and her swords were masterpieces. Her eyes held something that was just under the surface, passion. Passion to fight, war, kill, maim. and of course protection and love. Enyo was a true warrior and she was meant to astonish everyone.

Miles left the HQ earlier to go find his old homie. Rey was busy getting the security system back up and upgrading it and the others....being left to their devices. In order to find his best friend, he went back to his old neighborhood to run into the old man that always hung out in the front of the convenient store, seemingly never having no other place to go but to be seen by the wall smelling like cigarettes and muskiness. Sporting his hoodie, shades, cargo pants and casual boots, Miles walked up to the older man who he knew as Mr. White.

The man stood there, with his 40oz malt liquor, bicycle leaning against the wall, and a pack of cigs in his hand just looking at the world passing by when: What's up Mr. White....You're never hard to find. The man looked over and stared at Miles for a minutes as the half smile which showed off his missing front bottom teeth "Lil Miles! boy I haven't seen you since you were nothing but a little git....what you doin around here boy? You look just like yo stank ass daddy hahahahaaaaaaaaaa!"

Miles watched him for a moment a little annoyed. Yeah but I'm a grown man....trying to do big things...but anyways man, I had a question...have you seen Tito? Mr White thought about it "Yeah yeah the boy that looks like a damn freak...he gotta tail and stuff now...I think he was messin with some voodoo bitch if you ask me....I see him hangin out at that uh...uuuuh.....uuuuuhhh....plaza in mid town where the arcades and shops be at, right next to that park..." he said Miles nodded Alright...thanks Mr. White....and you need to get a job...old bastard Mr. White responded with a smile "Yeah...well fuck you and have a nice day..." they say in a way to snap at each other but show mutual friendliness.

Miles headed to midtown and went to the plaza that holds Balls to the Wall Arcade. When he walked up to the arcade, he walked in and looked around but of coarse, he didn't see Tito inside. Looking through the window, he caught sight of Tito walking from the park towards the burger joint across he street. Miles walked outside Tito! he ignored him Yo....Tito! Tito ignored him again. Murph..... Tito stopped and looked over with an annoyed expression Only my homies call me Murph.....the fuck do you want Miles? he asked.

Miles smirked Aren't we still homies? We always were boys... Tito rolled his eyes Nah...we stop being boys when you became a government dog. Miles looked down for a moment. That was a common thought of ones who are from the streets that are on the other side of the law. I'm not a government dog....this life chose me...but I not here as that...I'm here as Miles...you old homeboy that here to ask for- You got some large ones coming here asking for a favor from me. Don't you have other government dogs that can help you? The hell do you want from me? I need your skills....something I think you'll be very useful in handling....plus...I trust you more. and....what I'm doing could get me fired and possibly killed but if there's anyone I can trust in having my back in extreme situations or tight squeezes...it's you...the others don't know what I'm about to attempt so that's why I came and wanted to recruit you...

For a moment, Tito was quiet until he laughed Risking your rent-a-hero position huh....what the hell kind of job would you risk your career over? Some stuff was stolen from our HQ...I can't tell you what it is but I need your help in finding the people who took it. You were always known to be the hunter or searcher when we rolled together...no one could hide from you for long and I need you to look for some people or at least get info where they're located...

Red Strike (Ro'Kun)

Ro'kun was taken by the wrist and led over to where Enyo and Shiver were, though he didn't know it yet. "Hey you could at least buy me dinner first-" before he was cut off as the door opened and Tia froze what looked to be some sort of Amazon. Ro'Kun's eyes widened, wondering what the hell was going on in here between her and Shiver. What was it with all of the pretty women here!? That and this girl seemed extremely formidable. Ro'kun was an really accomplished martial artist, despite his lack of focus. It was actually one of the few things he did focus on, other than TV and food.

"Hi new girl" he waved casually. He looked at Shiver again, and then back at Tia, and then he just stared between all 3. "So...I have some questions. One, you're going somewhere Tia? Two, what's Shiver doing with paper work? And three, who's the warrior woman here? Also, four, we have run out of hotdogs in the lounge and I am really going to need some at some point again. Hell we can have a cook out or something." His dark eyes fell upon Enyo's blade, and he blinked. Shiver better be careful "Those things look sharp as hell..."

Jesse looked Micheal puzzled by his asking her if she had reasons to live.

~What a strange thing to say~she thought as she spun the words through her thoughts analyzing. Them and her own words and actions

He'd said "Anyway, if we want to spend money, I got you covered. I have... a lot of funds saved up. A lot. And I get paid a good amount to work here with the team. But who knows how long that'll last with management shifting"

Then levitated towards her adding "So are you in? Or do you have more reasons not to live. Who knows the next time we'll be able to have some quality fun?"

Jesse reexamined everything she'd said and done but couldn't find any reference point that might indicate that she suffered from a decrease in self-preservation.

Finally stumped she decided the best course was to ask

"May I ask the meaning of your statement that suggests I display a declining effort towards maintaining my life?"

[FunnyGuy]

Omega

"Huh?" Michael said with a confused look as he thought about the words Jessica had said. Declining effort towards maintaining her life? When the hell did I say that? Hmm. Declining effort... maintaining... Oh! A shitty job of living! I guess she think that I said she's killing herself or something

Omega didn't notice that he was staring down at the ground as he thought to himself until he looked up. He smiled uneasily to make things less weird.

"What I mean is, you're not enjoying your life. If you're not enjoying it then what quality does it have. I mean, I could live to be 500 years old, but what does it matter if I never did anything for me in those 500 years. Now those Squints have already taken years from you. Years of social life and experiences that are hard to make up for. Don't you want enjoyment?" Omega asked.

[Wick]

Enyo

ENYO

Enyo decided to go for a run. All that technology was making her head hurt. She stretched a moment and then kicked in her super speed at a low level of about 50mph for a jog. Up ahead she saw a fairly large wildfire. Firefighters were on the scene already. There were people's houses in the way of the fire. People could be so stubborn. Some of them had not heeded the evacuation order and the homeowners were outside with garden hoses wetting down their houses trying to keep them from catching fire.

Enyo could see some of them choking on the smoke. She darted up the side of the fire riddled mountain and tossed the protesting owner and her son over her shoulders. Seeing that her escape was now blocked by fire she looked at the edge of the cliff below and she surfed the loose gravel and dirt. At the bottom was a pool and firemen and she dropped her cargo off into the pool to cool them down. EMT's pulled them out and gave them oxygen.

Enyo heard the firechief talking to the firefighters much further up the hillside and they were completely trapped. She switched her comlink to the emergency channel the fire and police used. "This is Enyo. I can get to the men. I can get them out but I will need an air drop to keep the smoke down."

She took off right up the steepest side of the mountain. The men were trapped in a lower lying level and the air was almost pure smoke. Enyo zipped in and grabbed them two at a time and brought them back out and back to the pool where the EMT's were set up. On her sixth trip she had to make a decision. Take three or leave one and take a chance that he might die. If she took all three she chanced dropping one because these guys and all of their equipment was wide.

Enyo ran with all three, she knew that drop was going to be too much as her hands could barely grip onto the third firefighter's coat let alone get him down safely so she got to the edge and threw the third guy into the air and then she broke the sound barrier getting the first two to the pool and doubling back halfway to catch the third guy. She saved them all but she looked like hell.

The EMT's made her take Oxygen even though she reminded them that she was alright. She was covered in soot and dirt and she still got dates from several of the firemen. She grinned and set up a date with one of them for the next night.

Returning to the HQ Enyo walked passed the office and heard Shiver say, "Great job out there! I caught you on the news. You want to see? Come in here."

Enyo walked in and Shiver pointed to the television and turned it on. She wasn't so surprised this time. She smiled when she saw herself on the tv news. There was a lot of praise for the demigoddess. Shiver looks at her and Enyo said, "I got three dates with firefighters lined up already." Shiver laughed a little surprised. Enyo smirked and said, "I need a shower."
