Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

[Mimic]

"Me, me, me. Whine, whine, whine. Tell me Kevin don't you ever just shut up?" Michelle says loudly as she rolls back the privacy screen once she is done getting dressed, anger is evident in her eyes.
"Tara and I nearly got killed saving your ass because you didn't think that maybe, just maybe we would have backed you up in the first place. Did you thank us or even say your sorry? No of course not. Now instead of facing the consequences of your actions you go running home to daddy because life isn't working out the way you wanted it." Michelle is literlly screaming at Kevin now, tears running down her face, its evident that she is pouring out her fear, torment and anger at the boy.
Monentarily exhausted, Michelle takes a deep breath glances down at the tiles and then back up at Kevin, her face is a blank slate no emotion is readable except that she continues to cry. She continues to speak but this time at a normal level.

"It's time to make a choice Kevin, you can be that spoiled rich kid that everyone expects you to end up being. Or you can be a man and except the fact that not everything in the world revolves around you and understand that life is hard and that sometimes things will not go your way. Ultimately it's your choice but if you choose the former, stay away from me and my friends."
With that Michelle runs out of the room out into the hallway, she pauses momentarily and then bolts towards the stairwell, all she knows is she needs to get outside, away from everyone.

"You see X, since I'm in EPIC everytimes a word get out of my mouth, I hurt someone, everytime I do something, it turns into a disaster..." Kevin fell silent for a moment. "Ok, you want me to stay? In that case, name one thing I have done since I am in EPIC that didn't turn into a failure, only one. And I want to hear Thunder telling me he want me to stay too, because of me and not for my father's money." and he looks at Thunder "and no lies."

Johan reads through the information in his datapad. Reading through the list of all the injuries makes him shiver; sometimes photographic memory isn't the best of things to have. He comforts himself by reminding himself that more innocent people might've been hurt had he not started the fire alarm.

He starts writing a detailed analysis of the happenings after dealing with his morning chores. In fact, he is still writing it when the news start and while they're eating, and finishes it just in time to see Sanchez walk in. Knowing this might be his best chance to catch her, he walks over to her.
"I am sorry to disturb you, but since you have the knowledge I seek, I have no choice.
I have noticed that, despite me being almost completely noncombative, I get attacked quite often. That is why I would like to request your help in reinforcing the uniform that I was given with some powersuit-like elements to reduce the chance of meeting an untimely death."

"Classes -- you were doing well. Even Thunder said so, Kevin," X12 says. "So you screwed up -- everyone will. Big situation, big stress -- you want us all to know you can handle yourself, that we can trust you and depend on you to pull your weight. I can understand; when Vince and Cosmo were trading blows with that ax-wielding maniac in the foyer, all I could do was watch then -- I can't hit the guy, because anything I do to him will simply be erased by my touch. So I did what I could -- I tried to keep everyone healthy.

"You can do so much more than me -- you can turn a mutant's power against him, or you can take up powers from one of our guys and double the effectiveness of a useful ability. As for depending on you and trusting you, I will -- I'll make that leap. I trust you, and I've got your back.

"Just remember -- we're all in this together. This is a team; we're all here to help one another, and hopefully make things better for other people."

The minutes tick by as she just sits there lost in thoughts about Carl, about Mendez, about Sanchez, about herself. Maybe it was time to start listenning to the grown up and smarten up. She was off the Junior Epic team now, and at first she hadn't thought that would have been a bad thing, but the more she thought about having to go back to Brazil after seeing and experiencing what she had the last few weeks...

Raisa takes the towel from her hair, shaking it loose as she reaches for the data pad and starts scrolling through the reports. "Whoa." She leaves her hair down, letting it curl slightly as it dries on its own, and leaves her room still reading over the datapad as she walks toward the dining hall.

She gets a plate of various fruits and a couple slices of toast before sitting against the wall at a table by herself. Popping a piece of melon into her mouth, she continues to read over the infromation on the pad.

"Take care of the others, no need to waste your time, energy and EPIC money, I should say my father money, on me. I will take care of myself." and he mimic the Doctor's powers

You are just reaching for his hand when he steps out of reach. "I wouldn't do that, son. First, the strain on your body would be severe. Second, I may not look like much, but I doubt it's within your limits to copy everything about me. You may not care about yourself, or anyone else for that matter, but I take my oath very seriously. I will do no harm. Now, keep your powers off, or I'll have you restrained to treat your wounds," he doesn't speak harshly, just matter-of-factly. Once you settle, he goes about treating your wounds carefully.

And I want to hear Thunder telling me he want me to stay too, because of me and not for my father's money." and he looks at Thunder "and no lies."

"Not one word of apology. Not one hint that you are sorry for what your actions did. We tried to teach you not only how to use your powers, but how to be responsible. You can't seem to grasp that." He shakes his head in disappointment. "You won't be on the team until you get a grip on responsibility."

He looks to X12 and back to Kevin. "X12 seems to think there's some hope for you. At least you have that. I'll go get the van. If you want to have any hope of reclaiming your honor and self-worth, be down there in fifteen minutes." He turns and leaves the two of you alone, his brother heading out after him.

"Hey bro, wait up! You coming over for the barbeque tomorrow?" you hear him ask as they walk off.

With that Michelle runs out of the room out into the hallway, she pauses momentarily and then bolts towards the stairwell, all she knows is she needs to get outside, away from everyone.

You burst out the stairwell door on the main level and right into Tara. The two of you tumble down together, with her coming down on top of your legs.

"Hey, watch where you're goi... Michelle! Oh my god," she says, still sitting on your thighs. Her face is still faintly red. "Can you believe that doctor? My god, he touched my boob! I've never been so embarassed in my life. Oh my," she says, noticing your tears. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I am sorry to disturb you, but since you have the knowledge I seek, I have no choice.
I have noticed that, despite me being almost completely noncombative, I get attacked quite often. That is why I would like to request your help in reinforcing the uniform that I was given with some powersuit-like elements to reduce the chance of meeting an untimely death."

She had just stabbed into a sausage with her fork when you arrived at the table with her and Anna. "Sure sweetie," she says, taking a bite. "We should have enough high impact, polymer enhanced duranium from rebuilding Anna's suit. What ya got in mind," she says between chews.

"Ooo! Let's do a anti grav harness in the back! And a visual enhancement sensor in the helmet. Four would be better. Do we have another Lockheed 970 high speed tracking chip?"

"Naw, we'll be lucky to just get the armor built. Don't think we have any kinetic energy spheres left. Prolly can't do the cannon yet. I thought we put the last harness in your suit instead of the rockets? C'mon kiddies," she says, picking up her plate and heading for the exit. "Bring my coffee and a couple plates of them jelly donuts would you, sweetie?" she says to Johan. "Oh, and have another of you get some coffee grounds from chef would ya?"

"To the workshop! Weee!" exclaims Anna as she streaks for the exit, pink bunny ears flapping.

"Workshop? Hey, wait for me!" says Rebound, hustling after her.

"So whatcha thinking about adding to this thing in the future?" Sanchez says, dragging you along by the arm.

She gets a plate of various fruits and a couple slices of toast before sitting against the wall at a table by herself. Popping a piece of melon into her mouth, she continues to read over the infromation on the pad.

Raisa! You're up! you hear from Dara in your mind. You look around and she's not even in the room. I'm just getting dressed. Where are you? Oh, mess hall! Be right there! Save me some fruit would ya?

You look around, and she is definitely not here. About a minute later she runs into the room, dressed in some very amazing looking sundress and comes over to her table. In her hand is clutched a similar looking item, only larger. I whipped this up last night! A Chen designer label original, she mind-speaks to you. And I made you a matching one! She hands you the dress. Just looking at it, you wonder how much it would sell for, especially being a Chen designer label. Nobody else seems to have heard anything she just 'said.'

 

[Mordane76]

"You can do this, Kevin," X12 says. He extends one of his gloved hands to Kevin. "Let's go to the van, go back to HQ, and pick up where we left off before this whole incident. Be prepared for lumps, though -- I'd wager some of the others are just as upset as Thunder. Just remember - I've got your back; everyone's allowed to make mistakes, just learn from this one, get back on the horse, and before you know it, you'll show these people that you have a lot of good to contribute to the team."

 

[Velmont]

Kevin seems broken "I have been a burden to my father, my brothers couldn't care less about me. My friends were respecting my money and wanted to be near a member of the York family. Nobody have ever cared about me... except you X. Thanks."

He takes his cloathings and put them and pack his things that was at the hospital. "X, if we never meet again, I wish you well. For me, I need to think." He leaves the room alone, lost in the memory of the evnts of the last days.

 

[Deva]

Raisa! You're up! you hear from Dara in your mind. You look around and she's not even in the room. I'm just getting dressed. Where are you? Oh, mess hall! Be right there! Save me some fruit would ya?

She hands you the dress. Just looking at it, you wonder how much it would sell for, especially being a Chen designer label. Nobody else seems to have heard anything she just 'said.'

"Uh, Dara?" Raisa is stunned, some from the equisite dress she now holds, but mostly from the voice still ringing in her head. She takes a minute to look closer at the dress. "Wow! This is really... wow! But uh... Dara, mèl, I know you usually have trouble controlling the whole mind talking thing, but this is feeling a little funky... even more so than normal. What are you doing in my head?!"

 

[Calinon]

What are you doing in my head?!

Ummmm... am I in your head? I ummmm... I might have kinda accidentally left a part of me in there when that lady hurt you... She sees the look on your face when she says that to you.

I didn't mean to! Honest! It just kinda... happened. I've never been into someone's mind like that before. It was scary! I thought you were going to die and.. and.. But its so cool! I can like, control my telepathic abilities better and ummm... well that's about it actually. Oh! And I can talk to you without people hearing!

Hey, did Carl really stick his gun on you in that elevator? Or was that just, like, a wierd dream? I couldn't sleep after you started dreaming like that. But it's ok, cause look at all the stuff I drew last night! she says, as she starts showing you designs she drew. Ooo! Apple! she says suddenly, grabbing some of your fruit.
