Adolescent Heroes (Teen Titans Inspired)

Ally didn't particularly mind Marcus's rude tone, especially since they had all just risked their lives. Not everyone could be rainbows and sunshine 24/7. That was when the room morphed back into the original room. As Ally hadn't been awake in any of the original rooms and awoke in the false city, she almost had a heart attack. "What the..?" she murmured as a man now stepped out of a blue portal.

The ripped military man gave them applause and congratulated them. Something about him was unnerving, and because Ally hadn't had the introduction from earlier, she wasn't sure she could trust him. Was this another convict? How could they know everything was truly over? At least he gave them news Percy was alive, but what about the fat convict?

"I'm sorry," Ally said, shaking her head, "I'm not sure if it's because I'm barely awake right now, but who are you? And why do you have us here?"

She didn't have a reason to ask the age old question of "Why should we trust you?" because it seemed obvious that he was part of the big power here. They had no choice. But she did want some of her questions answered before she stepped into any kind of portal.

Alright, the numbers thinned out a bit so our posting order will be dissolved easier. Honestly, I don't mind if you post frequently or anything, I'll make sure no one gets left out. If you aren't sure about what in particular to post, feel free to say that in OOC or to PM me, we're all human. I think. XD

As far as @Slingshot, whenever you come back just feel free to hop back in.

Green's MMA Academy: The Fighter's College

Helena ate up every single word of the tour. Personally, although she idolized Green, she looked the most forward to training with "King." Not only was he one of the greatest kickboxers of all time, but he also he was from Venice Beach, a few cities away from her own origin city. Hearing Venice immediately brought her thoughts to home and she felt a slight tug at her heart. This quickly subsided as Green continued.

Finally they were split into separate teams and given housing. The beds were split slightly oddly, but she then remembered the number of girls on their team. "They must really have thought everything out," Helena murmured as she walked into the room containing only two beds.

She noted which bed Delilah chose and so she took the other. The bed wasn't going to matter much anyway as they would be training most of the day anyway. Helena placed her stuff atop the bed and flopped down beside it. "Yup," Helena said, chuckling, "these beds really are comfortable."

She stretched and relaxed for a moment and sat up. "Can't wait until the supper. Everything else is so great here, I could only imagine the food," Helena said to Delilah. Personally, she planned on eating a pretty good amount of food, considering they would most likely be on a strict diet later on.

@Everyone

I realized in my last post I used the wrong character name, putting Ally instead of Helena. My bad for any confusion, I'll fix it after I post. XD

The confused whispers that emerged after the shrunken head dissipated invaded the group of teens' ears. Ally found the strength to let go of the pole she was leaning on and cover her ears. Despite this, the whispers still infiltrated through. Like the others, she couldn't really make out the words it said, but it seemed like the words were English. In all honesty, Ally really didn't want to know what it meant.

Marcus had burned the convict, and although it ended the conflict, Ally felt torn. The smell of burning flesh and seeing his skin melt off of his face was extremely hard to watch, but at the same time she struggled to look away. Part of her had wanted to help the convict through the assault, but she knew that Marcus's way of dispatching the convict was completely necessary. Still, she wished it hadn't been so gruesome.

Then, the convict who had moments ago been writhing and screaming in pain glowed a bright blue until he materialized into thin air. Ally's jaw dropped. Then Percy's body did the same until he vanished into thin air.

Kurt's yell pierced hee thoughts as he questioned their safety. Ally threw up a thumbs up and refocused on the materialization.

"They were fake?" Ally murmured, and looked to the ground. She then began to chuckle, which quickly grew into a relieved laugh, "Hey, they were fake! This... No one died!" Her laugh of relief quickly faded as she pondered something else. We were hurt by things that didn't exist?

Ally pushed away from the pole and walked over to Marcus and Kurt, feeling extreme gratitude to both. "Thanks you guys, I would've been a goner if you hadn't shown up."

Ally heard the intense buzzing and her muscles tensed. She couldn't go back titanium, it just wasn't working. The young woman exhausted every ounce of energy she had and could hardly stand, let alone run away from the mystic insects. Just hold out, she told herself as she braced for the stuns.

Suddenly, the lizard man wrapped himself protectively around her. Not a single bee came close to her, but she did feel guilty as she heard him hissing. She wished she could return to her titanium form and help them out more, but she just couldn't manage. Then the harsh heat warmed her flesh, even from the shielding of her protector. The buzzing ended and her protector released her. She was able to look back in time to see where the fire was coming from. The boy who had ealier been made of metal was now shooting fire from the palm of his hands. "Wow, can I do that?" Ally muttered to herself as she got out of the way of the lizard man and the fat convict.

"How can I help?" she asked herself aloud as she leaned against a pole about ten feel away from the conflict.

@Fury Panda @Poi @Conscripts

Sorry for being so inactive, school just started and I've been balancing homework and work, and I think I found a good balance. XD Although I haven't posted on the main thread in about a week, @Crossfire and I were working on a collaborative post. I'll definitely be more active from now on.

So if you still want to be here, @Poi, I would greatly appreciate it. But if not that's cool too. XD

Again sorry to everyone.

"Alright, so it's settled then?" Ally asked, looking to her friends. Her heart swelled with both happiness and a certain... She wouldn't exactly describe it as sadness. She looked at each and every one of them. Everyone here at the table had something special about them, whether it be first aid, martial arts, or even high intellects. Everything about them was unique.

"First off, we're going to need costumes," Ally said, not exactly watching the volume of her voice. She knew no one would pay attention to a group of teens, let alone a dorky conversation about costumes. "Vigilantism is illegal, we need something that will hide our identities and keep any evidence of our presence at a minimum. Plus we need stuff to hold supplies. And we need protective and practical gear. So that means..." she thought for a split second and began ticking items off her fingers, "...gloves, masks, a suit that covers the full body, boots, and utility belts."

She scratched the back of her head. How quickly could they get these items? How expensive would it all be? How accessable would it be? Ally looked at her friends, wondering how to get these necessities for everyone. "I know eBay has those spandex body suits pretty cheap, and next day shipping won't be too bad," she said, more or less talking to herself out loud, "Plus ski masks or those Robin-like masks can't be that bad either. I'm sure they'll have utility belts as well, but I'm not sure on the prices..." The more she talked, the more she realized how unsure she was about everything.

As she spoke, her eyes unfocused into the distance, most of her mental power visibly not in her sight. After a second of quietness, she laughed and returned focus to her friends, "Sorry, I'm rambling so much. Look, I'll order everything we need when I get home. Then we can meet at my apartment in a couple days when it arrives. We'll sort it out and... I guess go on a patrol? In the meantime, everyone needs to work on their push ups, sit ups, planking, and running. Try not to be sore for the patrol night, but make sure you all improve, alright?" Ally wanted her friends to know this wasn't a joke, that they needed to take this seriously. All of their lives meant the world to them and the fact she was putting their lives in danger, even though it was voluntary, a pit grew in her stomach. All she could do was hope for the best.

Ally felt the liquified demon fall onto her. It wasn't nearly as much as Kurt, but it was enough to disgust her. She wiped some of it off, but struggled to find the energy to stand again. Ally looked up at the lizard man who stopped this and smiled. "Finally it's all over!" Ally thought as her head hung down. Then she heard slamming and her head snapped up again. The steel boy was no longer steel! He was being slammed around by the convict!

Ally forced herself up, her muscles burning with the effort. If no one did anything Marcus would die. Ally forced her body to sprint, though, she stumbled every few steps as she gained speed. Right before she reached the huge convict, she turned titanium and using the last ounce of energy she had, she slammed an uppercut into the convict'a stomach.

Immediately after the punch she fell into her hands and knees and began coughing, trying to catch her breath. She was no longer titanium and couldn't push off the ground. She wanted to crawl away, but her arms were even too shaky for that.

Helena watched as a woman walked up and placed herself behind the bad. She definitely didn't expect it, but it was much appreciated. The woman, who introduced herself as Delilah. "Oh shoot, we are?" Helena asked, momentarily stopping to take a look around. Delilah was right, they were the only two women around. She returned to the slow and steady combos on the heavy bag. "Yeah, you're right. We'll probably be paired up a lot, especially in sparring." Helena went on for another minute, practicing the fluidity of her moves, before finally stopping.

"Alright, I think it's time for you to have some fun," Helena said, rolling out her now loose shoulders. She scooched Delilah out of the way, insisting that she take a turn. Helena knew if she were the one holding the bag, she would've been itching to at least get one punch in, so she could only imagine what her heavy bag partner was feeling, especially after the long ride. "Nice meeting you, by the way," Helena added quickly before positioning herself behind the heavy bag.
