"Yep, that was exactly how I reacted earlier," JJ said. "Now, imagine that small flame earlier... but everywhere!" he gestured at himself. _{Like this! XD} The more he thought about it, the more it sounded cool. Maybe not the part about burning people and exploding like some sort of bomb, but still pretty cool. "I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the radiation out there. I mean, how else are we able to do this shit? We all got sick after the doors were opened. Maybe that was what triggered it all." He thought back to Robert and wondered if he was manifesting his own powers. Super sleep? Nah... probably not. He shook the silly thought out of his head and then felt his tummy complain again from the lack of food. "Come on. I was just headed to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Let's ask around if the others have been getting these... uh... superpowers too." He turned to walk out of the room then turned back to Kai as an afterthought. "Wait...How do you turn on your ability? You don't need me to hold you down while you walk, do you?"

Lily had no time to analyze the error she made as shrapnels flew towards her. She tried to dodge but her reflexes weren't as fast she wanted them to be. One buried itself on her left shoulder and the other in her left eye. The heat from the shrapnel cauterized its track into her shoulder making the bleeding minimal initially. The second one hit her left eye, transecting her upper lid and then lodging itself into the cornea. Vision was robbed from her eye as the white hot metal lacerated the cornea and immediately opacified the surrounding area. She fell to the ground screaming in pain, her right hand immediately going up to her eye.

The pain however, had some beneficial effect on Lily's disturbed mind. It brought forth a certain clarity she never had before. For a brief instance she knew who she really was and why she was in USARILN. But she had no time to think about those things, not when the battle was still raging. And as soon as she struggled to stand back up, the memories had already faded back into the mist of her mind.

With one hand still covering her eye and the other hanging limply at her side, she looked to her team mates. Her good eye focused on the bloody mess the two remaining squirrels were feasting on. A body. "Oh God..." she muttered, horrified at the realization that it was one of them. Doing her best to ignore the pain, she focused on what she can do. From the looks of it, the squirrel abominations would soon finish their gruesome meal. Grant and Siena was the closest and it was only logical to assume that the monsters would go for them.

She focused on the healthier of the two squirrels and a black string appeared on her right wrist, the other end of it on the squirrel's wrist. The pain immediately abated and vision returned to her left eye. She dropped her hand. Her target wouldn't be too happy with its new injuries.

Where hearts lie

@Caits

Caius slept well. He never really had any problems sleeping before but being with the person meant for him made so much difference. He was content and happy, having her in his arms.

The moment Callie turned towards Caius, he opened his eyes. "Good morning," he greeted. And as if he read her thoughts, he grinned. "No, I'm not a figment of your imagination. I'm real and I'm here." He closed his eyes again but pulled her closer to him. "What are you doing up so early anyway?" he mumbled, his voice still sleepy.

Claudia & Gabriel

_@Wick

Claudia reached down and lifted the little boy up onto the chair. He didn't even need to be told to eat. As soon as he was on the chair, he dug into the cereals and milk. Claudia pulled out a chair and sat down next to him, a wondering look on her face as she watched him eat. "Can you tell me you name?" she asked in a gentle voice.

"Gabriel," the boy answered in between chewing. He looked at Claudia, his blue eyes wide and innocent. "Where's my mommy?"

"Your mommy... isn't here, Gabriel." Claudia didn't really know how to tell the boy that his mother was dead. How do you explain that to someone so young? How do you put that into words?

"But mommy said she would never leave me behind." Gabriel looked Claudia in the eye and a silent understanding seemed to pass between the two of them. The little boy reached out and patted Claudia's hand as if consoling her. "Mommy and daddy are gone," he announced. He didn't look sad. It was like he just knew that there wasn't really anything that could be done about it. "Are you my new mommy?"

Claudia was taken aback at how calm little Gabriel was and how he seemed to understand his situation perfectly. She looked at the small hand on hers and was amused that he seemed to think that she was the one that needed consoling. Kids were really amazing. She smiled at him. "I could be if you want me to be."

Gabriel looked thoughtfully for a few seconds at Claudia before he nodded his head. "Daddy?" he asked.

Claudia leaned down so that she was eye level with her adoptive son and gestured towards Alex. "There's your new daddy."

Gabriel followed Claudia's gesture and frowned when his eyes fell on Alex. He shook his head vigorously as he climbed down his chair and climbed up Claudia's lap. "No, no, no. No daddy," he said.

Claudia raised an eyebrow. "But he's my husband, baby. If I'm gonna be your mommy then he's gonna be your daddy," she explained.

Gabriel wrapped his arms around Claudia's neck and then made a quick glance at Alex again. He shook his head again and then buried his face in Claudia's neck. "No. He stinks," the boy muttered, his voice muffled.

Claudia blinked. "He what?" she asked. She knew what the little boy meant but it didn't stop her from laughing.

Darric Shadowforge

Breathing heavily and drenched in sweat, Darric reached out and pulled Casey to him. He had never felt a desire to possess someone so strongly before but it made sense. She was his other half, that last puzzle piece that made him whole. There was nothing and no one more important to him than her. He ran a hand gently up and down her tummy. "Baby, the rate we're going, this might not stay flat for long." The idea of having a baby appealed to him. He wanted to try with Therese before but he had been scared that she might not want or know how to handle a werewolf son. But now... did Casey even want to have kids? She was still in school, after all. "I'd have to exert a bit more control cause... if I had it my way, I'd make love to you all the day long every single day." He chuckled. "I don't mean to sound like some sort of pervert who thinks of sex all the time but... He nuzzled her neck. "...yeah, we need to pace ourselves."

JJ took Kai's hand and stood up. "Well, everything still seems to be working." He laughed. It was strange that there were some people in the bunker that he wasn't so familiar with even though they all spent the whole year cooped up together. Of course, it wasn't exactly a soirée or something. "Jae Park." He gave Kai's helping hand a firm shake before releasing it. "So, you floated all the way up there, huh?" He glanced up at the ceiling. "Well, it's a good thing there's a ceiling there or you would have floated up into the sky. It'd probably be a bit more difficult to get you down," he chuckled and then shook his head. Apparently, the strange ability he had wasn't just an isolated case. "I have to say though that I'm glad that I'm not the only freak show around." He lifted his hand and rubbed two fingers together. It took only a second for a small flame to erupt from the tip of his index finger. "If I smoked, this would have been really really useful." He chuckled again as he extinguished the flame on his still damp shirt.

The Originals-The Prescotts- Closed

At work now. Will post later.

After the Asteroid-Closed

@Wick was there a public announcement that the doors will be opening again? Poor Jae. I suppose he'll have to go out with a rumbling tummy.

Claudia Aluredes

_@Wick

Claudia marvelled at how much she wanted Alex. No matter how many times he took her, she wanted more. And he freely responded to her hunger with the same intensity. For a moment, she wondered how she could have ever made love to someone else other than Alex. The passion, the heat and the need she felt with her past lovers paled in comparison to what she felt now. She continued making love to her soon to be husband.

She was trembling against him from her most recent release when a high pitched growl reached her ears. Knowing exactly what it was, she immediately stopped kissing Alex's chest. She grabbed a towel, wrapped it around herself and stepped out of the bathroom.

The little boy stood in the corner of the room, his eyes fierce as he stared at Shade, obviously thinking that the vampire meant him harm. As soon as Claudia stepped into the room, the boy sniffed the air. Without hesitating, he ran straight for Claudia and wrapped his short little arms around her waist. Claudia glanced at Shade and then leaned down to lift the boy up in her arms. The boy automatically clung to her neck, burying his face as he did. "What's wrong little one? Shade won't hurt you."

The boy shook his head violently against her, refusing to speak and refusing to look at the vampire.

"He won't hurt you. He's family," Claudia's voice was gentle as she reached out to stroke the boy's head. "This will be your new home now. And we will be living among vampires." At the word vampire, the boy began bawling. "No, no... no need to cry, my little one. They may be different from us but they are our family."

Darric Shadowforge

Darric immediately enveloped Casey in his arms the moment he laid his eyes on her. A momentary pang of guilt ran through him and Therese's face flashed through his head. But her face wasn't as clear as it had always been. All he could really think of now was Casey. Her eyes, her lips, her smile, her smell... Nothing else mattered except her. He listened to her words. Alex North turning a human into a vampire. "I shall meet with him soon enough. He must have a good explanation for turning a human..."

Her nearness to him was making him heat up. And she only fueled the fire when she pulled the towel off from his waist. He groaned when she started stroking him. He closed his eyes. "You can't be serious about wanting to know about my talk with Caius if you're teasing me like that," he said. When he opened his eyes again, his gray eyes were smoldering with desire. Without waiting for her answer, he made quick work of removing her clothes and wasted no time making love to her right where they were standing.
