Rampant: A Superhero/ Supervillain RP

Tess wasn't sure what acetaminophen was, but it sounded like it would do the trick. She fidgeted on the couch seat awkwardly while Phoenix went to fetch the medicine. She was still coping with the dream that she was living right now. She was with a professional hero right now, in her hideout. This wasn't her imagination.

Phoenix came back with pills and water, advising her to not sleep unless she followed a certain pattern. Tess washed down the pills as Rose continued to speak. She said that she wanted to talk with her about her powers and said she wished Tess would reveal her last name. Tess hooked her hair behind her ears, she was just letting it lay on her shoulders since she hadn't decided to put it back in a ponytail yet. "It's not that I'm scared to share my last name with you... It's complicated. I don't want to be associated with that name anymore," she stared Rose straight in the eye when she said this, asserting she was telling the truth.

It wasn't because she resented her parents that she refused to be affiliated with the last name, she just didn't want to deal with that past anymore. She was her own person now. Phoenix then told her that what she did at the mall was heroic and great, but said it wasn't her duty. Tess was confused. "I have to do something with my abilities. I think it's horrible if someone isn't public about their powers. There are people out there who wish they could be like me. I have to do something," she pursed her lips. "Otherwise I'd just be wasting my gifts."

Yikes. Chill down up there. Roleplaying is supposed to be for fun, it seems like some are missing the basic point of that. I thought people learned from that dude a couple pages ago that freaking out about roleplaying makes you look childish. No post is perfect, nor does it have to be. Just enjoy interacting with other writers and don't force things to happen, just go with the flow.

The girl was staring blankly at her surroundings. There was something beautiful about the abandoned hospital. It was so quiet, peaceful. She appreciated the solitude, and songbirds provided a sweet melody in the trees outside. The couch was quaint and comfortable enough. She snapped out of her gaze and remembered the question that she'd just been asked. "Tess," she said. Before the possibility of Phoenix asking about a last name, she added, "That's it. Just Tess."

She rubbed her fingers on her temples, the headaches were still present but the pain hadn't subsided. "Do you have... Like Tylenol or something?"

When Tess's consciousness finally returned, she realized that she was moving in some sort of vehicle. She could feel the wind — oh, how she loved the feeling of cool air — blowing against her, her hair had fallen out of the ponytail sometime when she wasn't awake. She found difficulty in opening her eyes, her eyelids felt like boulders that her eyesockets had the unfortunate burden of carrying. She tried raising her head up, and she banged it off the cold hard side of the minicar. That was enough to get her eyes open.

"Ow, fuck!" she cursed aloud, clutching her head in pain. She'd already suffered a concussion and clumsily banging it around wasn't helping that matter. She looked at the driver and recognized her as Phoenix. She clasped her hand over her mouth, realizing her language might not be appreciated by the adult professional. "How long have I been out? Where are we going?" she asked, looking at the trees they passed as the motorcycle advanced down the road. Hoping she wasn't coming off as disrespectful or ungrateful, she added, "Thank you. I'm sorry."

@Pietra Tess is unconscious with a concussion. So don't expect any reactions from me :P

A lot of surprising things had happened in the past half hour. They came to the mall to buy a present but ended up fighting an army that literally consisted of one person, saving some people — and Tess's best friend clobbered a clone's head with a baseball bat. But the most dumbfounding thing yet was when all the clones actually disappeared in front of her own eyes. Being shocked was currently a luxurious waste of precious time as hostages were simultaneously dropped over the railing. Tess sprinted towards the balcony and hopped over the railing, beginning the descent. Seeing half a dozen people falling in front of her, she had little time to think.

Tess closed her eyes as she neared the pavement, she'd foolishly let fear take over her thoughts. She thought of the air around her and imagined it flying upward, catching and lifting her and all the former hostages from hitting the pavement. They were all a few feet away from the ground when Tess felt a tug in her gut and an uplifting wind stopped everyone from hitting the ground. She opened her eyes and saw herself and six civilians suspended in the air by the unseen force of the wind.

"Woah," she mouthed to herself, before all of a sudden the wind dissipated and she faceplanted on the ground, and the people dropped with her. It wasn't a perfect landing but she managed to save the falling civilians. She might have gotten a black eye and a bloody lip from neglecting to brace her fall, but other than that she was okay.

She stood up to several "Thank you"'s from the people she saved and made an elegant bow. "You've got nothing to worry about with Tess — err, Teen Tornado around." She realized she wasn't all that impressive looking. She was supposed to have a cool costume and stuff but here she was, wearing a striped hoodie and jeans. Her face was caked with soot and dirt.

Her ears were still ringing from the impact, but she could make out Gwen pointing to her not too far away. She grinned in her direction and gave her a thumbs up. She saw someone clapping in the distance, but her knees buckled from exhaustion and she collapsed to the ground.

I'll be able to get a post up later today, around 3-ish.

Young Justice 2020: Zero Year

<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>

Team bonding exercise? Besides, I'm just buying one round, then playing poker with the Terror twins. Not blackjack, though, because Tuppence cheats at that.

I guess we could hit Vegas or Amsterdam instead, but I don't think that would work much better.

Uh, I mean Six Flags. Yeah.

As for my favorite villain, I'd say Ultrahumanite and Circe from JLU, and Terra from Teen Titans.

I'm sure at least a few grabbed on to some railing on their descent...

Shouldn't be too hard for Tess, her power set helps with falling civilians.
