"I want to do this... I need to do this, its something Neuro never would have done, I want to do it for me. Please don't take this away from me. Please." she begs, taking the teachers hand.
"I understand your intentions, Kelly. I am not trying to stifle your drive, but there is something wrong with you, and I will need plenty of resources to fix it. This isn't simple as black and white..." she trails off as she heard something... then grabs her head seething for a moment...
"Ouch that smarts..." she says after a lengthy pause.
The Garage
Star reacts to Mark placing a hand on his shoulder, "Mark will be fine, it has been a trying two days for him. Well both of us."

Listening to the exchange between Sarah, Ryan and Mark, she adds, "C'mon, Ryan, kill you so Overseer can't get you; sounds like a Chaos idea to me. What a moronic little creep. Is that why he kept you under for so long, Sarah? So you could tell us that great little idea of his? And what exactly did he do to you?"
Sarah bites her lip nervously, “Yes I am awake. John is here with me, and I am sorry to make you all worry. It was not my intent or Chaos’ intent. I don’t understand everything that happened, but it was for a reason. Things are escalating wildly out of control…”

"Whatever," Ryan snaps at Sarah. "If you don't want to kill me, why even mention it? In case one of Chaos's other flunkies tries to snuff me out? Did you expect me to go along with the idea?" I'm not the one who knocked out everyone at the mall either, he thinks bitterly.
"I say if anyone's getting killed here, Overseer's first, followed by his flunkies, Pantheon members, and the annoying people who talk during movies. None of us are on that list. I don't plan on dying, and I don't care what some cosmic brat says. Tell him if he wants to deliver some kind of message, do it in person." Unless he can't, which explains why he only acted in the computer program and Sarah's comatose mind. Which means advantage Ryan, that he can't come and directly kill me.
Sarah glares at Ryan, and the room grows colder, as if an emotion of unabashed anger washes over each person. Shadows seem to loom larger, the hair on the back of your neck stands up on end. Although it is more an emotional feeling then actual environmental changes, as she speaks in a voice that is both chilling and altogether powerful,
“I was trying to warn you, Ryan… I did not want to tell you, but I felt it was the right thing. I am not your enemy. You seem to forget I can read your thoughts just as easily as you can hear my voice.”
Her ghostly forms, pulses with power, and you can all feel a slight buzzing in your minds. Not painful, but ever present, and growing in strength. She points a finger at Ryan,
“You’re smarter then you look Ryan, they can’t intervene directly. To do so would break their rules. But they can bend the rules, or skirt close to breaking them, all to help a scared little boy. Filled with rage, anger, and pain at a world that owes him nothing. You are not even human, you are nothing like us at all, Ryan.”
*Editor’s Note: As an aside, John your at ground zero of the largest nexus of psychic power you have ever felt, outside of when you tried to contact Chaos…
Sarah cocks her head, rage still in her eyes, her red hair blowing on some psychic wind,
“You insolent short sighted mortal. How dare you question me? If this is how you wish…” she calms herself, and speaks normally, “Oh my God… Ryan I am so sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just, this power, Chaos left something inside my mind, its like he opened a door and unleashed my potential… I am sorry I didn’t, I am sorry,” she cries and fades from sight.
The buzzing is gone… and the mood returns to what it was before. Star turns to Ryan, but says nothing waiting for him to speak first.
