Sorry about that. Would've posted sooner, but the last two days kind of got away from me.

Samira. It was a beautiful name, but she'd hold that thought for the moment. Caty looked her up and down taking in everything she could. She noticed the blood on her hands and the crack in her voice at the mention of her father. Without Samira needing to explain she pieced it together. Her father was dead and he had died here in this park. She looked back at the franticness and chaos emanating from the park. Others were experiencing the same thing. Their friends and loved ones dying horrible deaths in a moment where everyone was in a celebratory mood. She'd never be able to forgive Dr. Sterns and the other for this.

Caty stood up and fully turned to face Samira. She wanted her to know that she was focused on her and not giving her, her divided attention or partially shrugging her off. "That mist that enveloped the park? It's the culmination of decades of research, developments, and experimentation based on the original Super Soldier serum of the 1940's. Yeah, it was real. Kind of shocked me too. My brother and my friend, David, here are interns at the lab where the latest research was being done. The purpose and the problem? It's meant to spark genetic mutations in individuals to make them 'super', except the mutation isn't guaranteed and it leaves people... like that." She repeated the same gesture that Samira did to display those seizing or already collapsed in death. "We spied on our mentor and discovered that he and a few other scientists slipped a few crystallized chunks of the formula into the fireworks after it was denied for human testing. We got here as fast as we could but it was too late. Too many people died, including your father, and they didn't have to."

Caty was angry, frustrated, sad, and confused, but she had to hold herself together. She couldn't break down in front of them. This wasn't over and the chaos didn't seem to be dying. Their lives and the world would forever be changed after this and it was a lot to take on all at once. Although she may have seemed calmed and stoic on the outside she was crying and screaming internally.

Funnily enough, I already intended on having her have a crush on Luke. Who knows whether it’ll stick if he eventually becomes the leader/in charge of her, lol.

Honestly, though, she’s probably going to end up crushing on like the entire team at some point or another. It can’t be helped, having a girl like her on a team full of attractive, older heroes.

@RenegadeRunaway

This is exactly how Caty will feel about the beautiful badass women on the team. Like how can she not?

Young Avengers

Yeah. I had to google average size for an athletic woman of Caty's age and height when making her.

Also I have posted and Caty's already starting to feel the pressure of leadership.

Caty was caught slightly off guard by the wound on David's face. She wasn't sure if he was aware of it or not. She didn't turn away from the or him. "Oh David..." She started to reach for his cheek when they were interrupted by someone coming up behind her. She turned to face her and noticed the clear distress on her face. She thankfully seemed to be fine and unaffected by the gas for now. She was likely confused and remembered her from her abrupt onstage announcement. Caty was relieved that people had at least paid attention to her warning. She just wished more had been able to get out in time.

"Are you okay? You probably heard it earlier, but I'm Catherine. What's yo---" She was cut off by a particular ding from her phone. A special alert she set up for her brother's text messages. "I'm sorry. It's my brother. I have to check this." Caty's eyes scanned the message and her eyes both widened with shock and lit up with intrigue at the second to last sentence. She mentally chastised herself for getting even the least bit excited in a situation like this, but she couldn't quite calm her inner scientist.

She opened her brother's contact and called him via FaceTime. She spoke as soon as he answered the phone. "Okay, Danny. I'm going to need you to listen to me. Get him to look down at the ground. I'm not sure what his eyes are now capable of doing, but we don't need anyone else getting hurt in case it goes off. The mist's mutation must already be taking effect. It's likely linked to his flight or fight response. He's freaking out and I don't blame him, but I need you to get him to calm down but for him to be calm you have to be calm too. You can do this Danny, but I'll leave the call on."

So much seemed to be happening all at once. Scores of people were dying, others mutating, and David needed medical attention immediately and for the first time in her life she was in a situation where she wasn't completely in control. In her slight spiral she had almost forgotten the girl standing there. "I'm sorry again. Your name?"

Young Avengers

Yeah. All you really need is a reason to be at the park when everything goes down.

Young Avengers

You don't know how much I love that Tom Ellis is Mister Sinister.

And I'll be posting soon.

Naruto: Fire From Ember (open/accepting)

My two CS's will be done today. Thankfully the second one won't have to be as extensive.

There's no guarantee they would have everyone's numbers in their phones. The interns have mostly only known each other for a month and have seen each other mostly every day, plus perhaps they didn't want to waste time trying to explain the situation. Though, still, you do bring up a fair point I hadn't considered, so I can edit my intro post to include them texting out the warning to the other interns.

@CaptainManbeard

I figured maybe Caty would've had a few numbers that she didn't really use. They may have tried to call or text them but the word never reached them because they were focused on the concert or had their phones on DND.

Young Avengers

You know what I just realized? For a trio of geniuses neither Caty, David, or Danny thought about texting or calling the other interns before they joined them at the park.
