Supers: A Superpower RP

SWEET SWEET JESUS! WINTER IS BACK!

Supers: A Superpower RP

Everyone please feel free to continue socializing even though Delta and Epsilon are going to be commandeering the mess hall!

@Marx and I will be posting a collab of D and E's conversation.

Supers: A Superpower RP

Delta sat in silence as all of the young ones gauged their reactions to his display towards Kana, and of his large scar. Overall the kids were optimistic, willing to get shove back. Delta truly admired this aspect of them, however the brave were always the first to die. He was about to continue explaining just how deadly their foe was when a familiar presence suddenly drew near. Epsilon materialized at the entrance to the mess hall, completely drenched in the very shadows that he could manipulate. A few of the tendrils of shadow that constantly accompanied him reached out and held Kana in place. Meanwhile Epsilon had acknowledged Delta and turned the group.
"I'm glad you're all getting acquainted," Epsilon said, twisting to look across the room at everyone in the room, "Though it appears we're missing one. Nevertheless, it appears that something needs to be made abundantly clear. Matell. Cruz. If you feel so strongly about fighting Phi right now, then I'll allow you two to take as many people as you want to fight him, right now. No doubt he's still haunting Pavar. Probably finishing off any loose ends as quickly as possible, so time's off the essence."
Delta almost stood up to object to Epsilon even mentioning them going after Phi, but Epsilon looked back at Delta. With the addition of a small wave in his direction Delta understood that there was more to Epsilon's proposition.
"If a fight is what you two want so badly, then fight Delta or I. Kill one of us and you'll have our permission to go fight Phi." Epsilon twisted once more, looking toward Danny. "Even with blood I've lost today, I doubt the whole lot of you could even do me in, but by all means if fighting with your fledgling powers is so exciting be my guest and make your move."

Delta looked hard at the crowd gathered before him. None of them seemed too eager to take up the offer. Delta couldn't really blame them though. Delta was ranked one stage higher than Epsilon, however Delta wasn't completely convinced he could take Epsilon in a fight. With none of the others moving towards the two elders Epsilon re-materialized in front of the fridge. He quickly drank one of the strawberry sodas that Sayuri had mentioned earlier before facing the group once more.

Kana was the first to speak up after Epsilon had finished, just like Delta expected her to. Delta really did admire her self confidence, however at the same time Delta felt that it was the exact same trait that would lead to her downfall if left unchecked. Danny quickly followed with his own remark. Danny had a but more logical approach to the situation, lamenting about how he wanted his life back and how Phi needed to pay. Delta was about to speak up when Carson beat him to it. The pale young man spoke of the need for caution. He had seen Phi first hand earlier that day, saw him kill without the tiniest shred of remorse. Delta agree with his standpoint the most. Even Justin spoke up to add to Carson's point, going as far to say that them fighting Phi would be a "failed bet".

Delta allowed the room to sit in silence for a few moments before he spoke. "Listen, Kana and Danny, I hear what you're saying, okay? If you guys feel like you need to be pushed a little harder then I'm sure we can all work something out to let that happen. However I'm going to make one thing abundantly clear, the fact of the matter is that this whole thing is going to take time. My powers woke up when I was fourteen, and I've been working at them every day of my life since then. Rome wasn't built in a day, and what we're doing here is a lot harder than building some goddamn city. But I swear to each and every one of you that after Epsilon and I are through with all of you that you'll be able to hold your own, no matter what."
Delta turned his attention to Carson and Justin before continuing to speak. "I know all of this might be hard to take in, but I swear it will be easier. I really respect the amount of caution that you two are showing, you're both wise beyond your years. That being said one day the world is going to shove you, I fully expect you two to shove back harder."
Delta rose from his seat and looked back at Epsilon before addressing the crowd of young supers one last time. "If you all would be so kind please show Justin and Carson where they can sleep. I need to talk to Epsilon privately, so we'll be needing the mess hall."

Delta sat and listened to Justin and Carson talk of their rooms. He felt kind of bad for the kids because there was no way they could go back. Phi was most likely monitoring their houses. Then Carson started speaking about his parents.
"What about our parents? I didn't think about it before but-" he grimaced slightly, "My dad probably doesn't really know I'm gone, he works long shifts at the hospital so I'm not really worried about him but my mom is a different story. I've been kind of M.I.A for the last two days but I've kept her up to date in texts and she's going to notice if I just stop. I mean, I am definitely not the best son in the world but it would break her heart if I just stopped showing up all together. She's probably already kind of worried about me, y'know? She's prone to thinking the worse and if she's scared then she'll call my dad and he won't be happy at all."
Carson paused for a moment after he mentioned his father, but after a second to himself he continued.
"So do we like give them some kind of four-one-one?" he asked tentatively, a frown finding it's way to his mouth. "My mom doesn't deserve to worry like that. She does a lot for me. They put up with a lot from me."

Delta almost choked on the last of his hot pocket. He hadn't expected the conversation to turn so dark so quickly. It didn't really matter, the kids deserved to know. "Well Carson you seem like a nice enough kid, so I'm not gonna sugar coat anything. When it comes to your parents there are two possibilities. The first one is that Phi had been watching you guys for longer than Epsilon and I thought. That he had tabs on you guys for a while. In this scenario as soon as Epsilon nabbed you Phi went and found your parents, and started to interrogate them. Once he realized that they really had no clue where you were he simply killed them and moved on. The second scenario is that he just sensed that you were metas and hunted you guys down. In this case your parents may be upset over the fact that you're missing but they are ALIVE in this scenario. That's the important thing, that they're alive. You reaching out to them now would just get them killed." Delta looked hard at Justin and Carson, hoping to gauge their reactions to this news. However he couldn't study them too long before another person entered the mess hall. Theodore ambled into the mess hall, sleep heavy in his eyes. He walked past the seated group and grabbed an apple before turning to face the group, it was still a few seconds before he actually chose to speak.
"Hello, Delta. Hello, you and you, whoever you are." he said, "I'm Theodore. I apologize for the interruption."

Delta smiled at the boy before speaking. "Good evening Theodore! I see a restful night's sleep has eluded your grasp yet again. This here's Justin and Carson. Epsilon nabbed Carson from Phi and I carried Justin off before he made the mistake of brushing shoulders with him." Before Delta could continue a conversation with Theo he heard a familiar snapping echoing down the hall. He turned to face the door shortly before Kana burst into room.
"Greetings, fellow rejects!" she called out, "Who's ready to pummel this Phi-guy into submission?! I sure as hell am!"
Kana met Delta's gaze before continuing. "How about you, Mr. D? Wanna go track this guy down and give him the good ol' one-two?" she made fists and punched the air with the classic boxing combo, complete with fire for added effect.

Delta pinched the bridge of his nose as the smile drained from his face. "As always I appreciate the enthusiasm, but as I've said before you simply--" Delta darted up from the table as a humming filled the room. Within a fraction of a second he was standing behind Kana, his hand mimicking a gun to the back of her head. "--aren't far enough along in your training yet." He slowly lowered his hand to his side and returned to his seat. Delta's eyed scanned the young adults before him. They all had amazing potential, that much was for sure, but they needed guidance while their powers developed. "I can assure all of you that a time will come for us to take the fight to Phi and his brethren, but today isn't it. Epsilon was cut fairly deeply today, and he wasn't even actually trying to FIGHT the maniac. For now we need to get stronger, take it one day at a time. And besides-- Delta pulled down the collar of shirt above his left breast. A tattoo of the Greek character Delta adorned his left pectoral, above his heart. A wide scar ran from his left shoulder down over his tattoo before continuing downward. "--I'm not too eager to look death in the face a second time. Phi isn't just another super-villain wannabe, he's the real deal. We're going to have to be on the top of our game before we even think about taking him on."

Now that everyone is here I'm going to do a bit of housekeeping. First off here's a general description of the base that we're all currently at.

Its an abandoned Cold-War Era Missile Silo that Epsilon found and then repossessed. There's two general sleeping rooms, a general shower/bathroom, a mess hall and the control room as well. The control room doubles as Slate's bedroom and operating/planning room. The terminals in the base are a closed circuit and there is a landline, located out of the control room. In each general sleeping room are eight cots and eight 3ft tall metal lockers. The restroom/shower consists of eight stalls, four sinks, and the shower is open with eight shower heads. The mess hall has two gas ovens, each with four burners, one walk in freezer, one microwave, and four long cafeteria style tables.

Secondly, @22ice22 speaking of summer homework in his last OOC post and my younger brother starting classes today reminded me that back to school is upon us. While I am not returning to my university for two more weeks I know that some of us might be starting sooner or have already started school/jobs. I fully intend to keep this RP going into the school year. So if in the next few weeks the RP's pace slows due to everyone starting classes/jobs then that is quite alright. If something comes up and there may be a small break until your next post, just drop into the OOC and tell us. I promise we'll all understand.

The same group sat in silence for a few moments. Justin seemed to be internally fuming about the crushing of his mp3 player. Delta did feel terrible for doing it. Delta cared about quite a few things in this world and music was fairly high on that list. He finished off the first hot pocket and started eating the second one. He honestly wasn't sure what kind of meat this was, but it was pretty damn good in that "I am fully aware that consuming this is potentially taking years off my life" sort of way. Before he could muse any move over the contents of his microwave dinner a inky black mass began to spread across the floor and from it rose a red-headed boy around Justin's age.

The boy stood a few feet away from the table at which the group was sat and eyed them all curiously. He appeared to be very shaken up, most likely from a combination of Phi and whatever Epsilon had told him. Slowly, he made his way over and sat at the far edge of the table. Before Delta had a chance to greet the new arrival another form rose from the floor, this time it was Epsilon himself. He was shirtless, and a large wound was open on his lower abdomen. It appeared that he had tried to stitch the wound himself, but it had come undone.
"She wanted to go home," Epsilon said flatly, "Reach me on the terminals if you need me."
He was gone before Delta could ask anything about the wound or the meta that had been sent home. The group sat in shocked silence for a few moments before Carson mustered the courage to speak up.

"I'm Carson," he introduced himself through a thick swallow and a half-hearted smile, gathering together every tiny bit of social etiquette that he had. He straightened his spine and folded one leg over the other. "You must be Delta, it's nice to meet you and-"

Carson's gaze switched over to Justin, "Yeah, man. You really don't want to mess with Phi, like, I mean, unless you're feeling like death is a favorable outcome for your life thus far but-" a single eyebrow lowered, pale blue eyes flickering. "You seem pretty smart, I'd consider sticking around. They don't seem so bad here. Not that I really know them but I've seen worse environments."

The snort that escaped him was soft, his freckled nose wrinkling slightly with amusement as he turned his eyes back to Delta."Epsilon said you'd fill me in on everything. I don't have too many questions anymore- I guess I kind of just want to hear what this is all about."

Delta opened his mouth to respond to Carson, but way immediately cut off by Sayuri.
"Well, my name is Sayuri. You may speak to me if you would like. The strawberry soda in the small cans are mine and I will kill anyone who drinks them. Also, if you need to throw up or something," she eyed Carson, "do it in the appropriate place. Also, don't expect anyone to clean your messes. Clean up after yourselves," at this she eyed Delta to make sure he understood that she was including him and the food on his plate.
"Also," she tried her hand at another joke, "leave a will so that we know how to divide your stuff between the rest of us."

Delta couldn't help but laugh at what Sayuri's attempt at humor, and after regaining his composure he focused his attention at Carson. "You'll have to excuse Sayuri, she's pretty new at this whole "humor" thing. They're plenty of food and drink here without having to worry about dipping into her precious stock of strawberry soda, which tastes like fruity piss anyways. But yeah, I'm Delta I just wrapped up getting Justin here up to speed, but I'll give you a brief synopsis. All of us here can do shit, we have powers. Furthermore we're on the good side of things, while your new acquaintance Phi is on the bad. His job is to kill young metas before they can realize their true potential and make life harder for the baddies. Epsilon and I have been rescuing kids like you before Phi can get to them and helping them advance their powers. Admittedly we cut it a bit close with your group, sorry about that."

Allowing Carson to let that information sink in Delta switched his attention to Sayuri. "I want you to go make sure Epsilon is alright. That gash looked pretty bad and he seemed kinda shook up. He may say he doesn't want you there, but I think your presence would be very beneficial."
Delta didn't want to say it out loud but he'd never seen Epsilon that shaken up before. It worried Delta, but Sayuri would be a more welcoming sight than him. Furthermore Delta was just as shitty when it came to stitching wounds, so Sayuri would be the better choice in that regards as well. He went back to eating his second hot pocket, waiting for someone else to ask a question or spur on another conversation.

Sorry for the small bout of inactivity, real life has once again decided to get crazy.
That being said I'm in the middle of writing a post and it should be up later.
