Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

[Mimic]

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."

Wiping the tears away with the back of her hand Michelle stammers out.

"No, you didn't hurt me, although I think I made an idiot of my self upstairs. Its just that Kevin makes me so mad, we almost died trying to help him and does he thank us or even say he is sorry? No all he does is whine and complain how hard his life is. I can't believe that Thunder didn't kick him out on his ass. He better stay away from me, if he knows what good for him."

Venting seems to help calm Michelle down, she smirks slightly as if hearing what Tara said for the first time. "Oh my God, he touched you there? He is SO cute though. It's too bad he is married." She tells the girl giggling, her anger forgotten for the moment.

 

[Deva]

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!

The excitment in Dara's voice in her head is too much and she starts to snicker softly as the girl rambles on. The snickering turns to giggling, and then full out laughter. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but this is too freaky! You undoubtedly saved my life last night, and I don't think I can ever say thank you enough, but do me a favour will you Dara? When we're having a conversation please try vocalizing your side of it so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself!"

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.

Raisa's smile falters. "No, it wasn't a dream unfortunately, the cuzão!" She picks up another piece of melon, not minding that Dara helps herself to her plate. "Empath tells me all this stuff, and what's his deal and all, but I don't care what his trauma is. He even thinks of trying something like that again..."

Not wanting to get all angry again, Raisa lets herself get distracted by the sketches Dara had drawn. "Olálá! These are incredible! Hey, if I were to supply the fabric and junk think we could talk a few clothes? The stuff Mama sews for me are great, but nothing like this!"

 

[Elementor]

As Titan heads off to get some breakfast, a little life seems to come back to Vince's eyes. A thousand thoughts race through his mind as every sound, sight and feeling from the battle rushes back. "It really was an accident" he mutters quietly more to himself than to anyone in particular.

Watching Anna zip out the door towards the workshop with the pink bunny in tow brings Vince completely out of his depressed state. Having finished with his meal, he drops off his tray so it is easier for chef to clean up later. On the way out of the common room, Vince pauses to give Jackal a soft punch to the arm. "Pretty cool with the rabbit dude. Very cool. I'm impressed. But don't let me catch you wearing bunny ears and fluffy tail around the girls dorm anytime soon." With a wink and a smile, Vince heads out to get some swimming in.

 

[Dalamar]

"I will see to it", says Johan and two duplicates duplicates step out of him to do as he was asked. He himself follows right after Sanchez and Anna
"As I said, my first priority is defense. The plating would be a good start, and next I would probably try something with other defense mechanisms, such as reflex enhancers and blocks against mental intrusion. After that, something to enhance my meager physical capabilities would propably be in order."

 

[Calinon]

"No, you didn't hurt me, although I think I made an idiot of my self upstairs. Its just that Kevin makes me so mad, we almost died trying to help him and does he thank us or even say he is sorry? No all he does is whine and complain how hard his life is. I can't believe that Thunder didn't kick him out on his ass. He better stay away from me, if he knows what good for him."

Venting seems to help calm Michelle down, she smirks slightly as if hearing what Tara said for the first time. "Oh my God, he touched you there? He is SO cute though. It's too bad he is married." She tells the girl giggling, her anger forgotten for the moment.

"Gawd, Michelle! He's like... old! Next time I get stabbed, it better be somewhere else, or I'm getting a new doctor," she says, climbing off you and sitting on the grass. "A girl doctor. If some doctor had done that to me back in Israel, my father would have cut off his hand."

You notice there is a fair bit of noise like grasshoppers and crickets. In fact, you notice a strangely significant number of them sitting around you. You can actually see more hopping and fluttering your way.

"Ooo, that Kevin makes me so mad," Tara says, her wings fluttering again. "Not nearly as mad as that psycho witch with the sword though. Stabs you, stabs me, stabs Kevin. Wish we had a do-over up there. I'd show her," she growls.

The ring is getting larger. Soon it will be a complete circle, though none of the insects get too close. They all seem to be chirping away, fluttering their wings when Tara does. Tara doesn't seem to notice and is muttering on about what she'd like to do to Mia Toan.

Dara? When we're having a conversation please try vocalizing your side of it so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself!"

Or you could try to mind-speak too. It's easier! And I can eat while talking, she says, popping a strawberry in her mouth. And I don't get in trouble for talking with my mouth full.

He even thinks of trying something like that again...

Ya wants me to offs him for ya, boss? Maybe just kneecap 'im. I 'ave my ways, she says mentally with a grin, affecting a really bad italian accent.

"Olálá! These are incredible! Hey, if I were to supply the fabric and junk think we could talk a few clothes? The stuff Mama sews for me are great, but nothing like this!"

I have fabric and supplies coming out my ears, she says. Ummmmm... not really. That would hurt pretty bad I think. But I make so much money on selling stuff like that, I can have as much stuff to make clothes as I want. So just tell me what you want and I can make it!

You're mom's stuff is pretty nice though. Real good stitching too. Wonder what thread she uses.

"Pretty cool with the rabbit dude. Very cool. I'm impressed. But don't let me catch you wearing bunny ears and fluffy tail around the girls dorm anytime soon." With a wink and a smile, Vince heads out to get some swimming in.

As Vince is leaving, he hears the pop of a glass breaking as Jackal crushes his in his hand, a low growl coming from the beastial natured boy. Cosmo is off at another table, making himself look good to a bunch of girls. Jackal wipes his bloodied hand and stalks out the door opposite the one Vince left by.

Vincent finds the pool unoccupied, though steam is coming from the sauna.

my first priority is defense. The plating would be a good start, and next I would probably try something with other defense mechanisms, such as reflex enhancers and blocks against mental intrusion. After that, something to enhance my meager physical capabilities would propably be in order."

"Sounds good, sweetie," she says. "Sounds like you got a bit of a scare with that mind witch. Can't blame you there. If you wanna get stronger, you better start eating more and working out with Kodiak. If you want to get in the thick of things, a blaster like Anna has maybe, or just a gun like me and Carl use. Gonna be tricky though; not sure what your dupes'll have once we're done."

 

[Mule]

"The news clearly said 'If it were not for Titan.' Even when I am in Europe, I can save the day in New York," he says with a laugh. "Though I do not believe you got my hair just right."

"Hi, um, well, it was just an idea I had, sort of spur of the moment. But you should have seen those bad guys run! Haha!" Randall settles into a seat close to the TV with a large helping of food to watch some more.

 

[Mordane76]

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.

"We'll be there, waiting for you. Just be careful, Kevin," X12 says as Kevin leaves.

"There must be some record of who I was... either in here," he thinks has he taps the side of his head, "or in the memories of the M-Tac captain. Or maybe she doesn't remember who she was before, either. Either way, I don't want to get EPIC involved in this -- what if I was some kind of monster before... all of this?" X12 starts down to the van, mulling over possibilities.

 

[Velmont]

Kevin get out of the hospital by a side door. He starts to walk where his foot leads him, not tacking care of his surrounding.

As a result of all of this, not only did you nearly get yourself killed, you nearly got four other people killed including the person you should have worked with everyone to help rescue!

Four to add to my count it seems. Too bad I miss them all and non are dead he told to himself with some sarcast

One of the waitresses screams as Kevin slams into her, sending both into and through the glass window. Shattered glass flies through the air as the two start falling towards the ground.

The first day, I almost kill a civilian. I wanted to make my show off and it almost trun into a disaster... good job Kevin

Stealer, unable to get a clear shot at the massive machine of bullet spewing death, steps out into the isle, and raises his armored hand at it. Activating the firing sequence from the menus he sees, the arm suddenly transforms into a blaster and he sends a blast of red energy towards the robot! It strikes the robot in the shoulder, but other than a quick shift of it's shoulders and a small dent, it's unharmed.

And you proved you were useless in combat too. How pathetic you are.

Kevin is guiding the jet down when Michelle floats up beside him. As it touches down, somewhat roughly, grappling lines shoot out and attach themselves securely to the train, locking the plane fairly tightly in place. The engines start to power down.

Over his radio receiver he's been guiding the plane through, Kevin hears Titan bark out, "Sanchez! Abort landing! It's unstab...!" just as the train gives a huge lurch to the right! The hoverjet, locked firmly in place, adds to the momentum as the car starts to roll. It's connectors to the cars behind it start to break apart, leaving the other cars safely on the track as the lead car tips wildly.

And not only in combat. Damn, it was simple, just be sure the train is stabilize before the jet lands. Lucky Titan was there.

Stealer's other double cackles. "Hell yeah! Lets make some carnage!" He steps outside, lines up a shopkeeper and pulls the trigger

And yesterday, my dupliacte almost kill that shopkeepers

The maniacal, tank-buster-weilding Stealer looks wild eyed at the oncoming Empath. "Look out! Split's comin'! Man... I'd like to stuff and mount her," he mumbles as he pulls the trigger. The energy beam crashes into Empath's force field, and a good portion ekes through, slamming her in the side. She amazingly keeps her feet, and rolls enough to the side to avoid getting pinned by the beam.

And after Empath

You went off without a buddy in the mall, despite Empath telling you not to. You got EPIC involved in a hostage situation without so much as a call to Empath for help. You withheld vital information from an investigation from Mendez. You convinced a classmate to help you withhold information. You lied again by using mimiced duplication to go off alone. As a result of all of this, not only did you nearly get yourself killed, you nearly got four other people killed including the person you should have worked with everyone to help rescue!

Rigth in your face, Kevin

Your selfishness and lack of common sense is exactly why your father paid us to take you on, in the hope you might change

And why he had to buy my place in EPIC? I hate him!

Did you thank us or even say your sorry? No of course not.

Sure not! I wanted to die! That pain in my chest was so great, I couldn't support it anymore. I wanted to be dead, to finish that pain, finish with that life. All is going too fast. Yesterday morning, I was still feeling like the boy I was, but now...

A car horn can be herd, Kevin turn aside and see the car coming right on him. He is standing in the middle of the road. Kevin dodges and fall on the sidewalk. Lying there, he start to cry, tears falling like rain...

 

[Deva]

Or you could try to mind-speak too. It's easier! And I can eat while talking, she says, popping a strawberry in her mouth. And I don't get in trouble for talking with my mouth full.

"How do I do that? I just think what I want to say and you'll hear it?" Raisa shakes her head with a soft chuckle. "That just weirds me out!"

Ya wants me to offs him for ya, boss? Maybe just kneecap 'im. I 'ave my ways, she says mentally with a grin, affecting a really bad italian accent.

She entertains the thought for a brief second then smirks. "So not worth it."

I have fabric and supplies coming out my ears, she says. Ummmmm... not really. That would hurt pretty bad I think. But I make so much money on selling stuff like that, I can have as much stuff to make clothes as I want. So just tell me what you want and I can make it!

You're mom's stuff is pretty nice though. Real good stitching too. Wonder what thread she uses.

Flipping through the skethces Raisa shrugs. "Mama's good, but she's better at the Carnival Costumes she makes every year. She's been doing that as long as I can remember, but when I could no longer find clothes in Manau that would fit and I we could afford, Mama took up sewing everything for me." She sighs, puts the drawings down and rests her chin in the palms of her hands, her elbows on the surface of the table. "Between you and me, I know this is a great opportunity and everything, but I worry sometimes about my parents and friends. Epic seems to make a lot of enemies, and I don't know what I'd do if I got back on the junior team and someone went after them, you know? I wonder if it's worth it sometimes."

 

[Mimic]

"Gawd, Michelle! He's like... old! Next time I get stabbed, it better be somewhere else, or I'm getting a new doctor," she says, climbing off you and sitting on the grass. "A girl doctor. If some doctor had done that to me back in Israel, my father would have cut off his hand."

"But older guys are so cool, and they know how to treat you right. Not like the boys our age, all grabby and only after one thing, if you know what I mean." Michelle makes a pawing motion at her own breasts to emphasize her point.

"Cut of their hands? Yikes, I bet you never had really fun dates back home did you?" She says laughing.

You notice there is a fair bit of noise like grasshoppers and crickets. In fact, you notice a strangely significant number of them sitting around you. You can actually see more hopping and fluttering your way.

"Ooo, that Kevin makes me so mad," Tara says, her wings fluttering again. "Not nearly as mad as that psycho witch with the sword though. Stabs you, stabs me, stabs Kevin. Wish we had a do-over up there. I'd show her," she growls.

The ring is getting larger. Soon it will be a complete circle, though none of the insects get too close. They all seem to be chirping away, fluttering their wings when Tara does. Tara doesn't seem to notice and is muttering on about what she'd like to do to Mia Toan.

"Yea, I thought Kevin was pretty cool back on the Mag-lev then he goes and turns into a butthead. If he just realised that not everyone is out to get something from him and that asking for help isn't the world's greatest sin, things would go alot easier. I don't know, maybe I was too hard on him." She says with a soft sigh.

"Oh yea, have no doubt that there is going to be a rematch, she is going to pay for what... she..." Michelle grows silent as she looks around at all the grasshoppers and crickets.

"Umm, Tara?" she says tring to interupt the ranting girl. She reaches out and tugs lightly on her shirt sleeve. "Tara," she states again, making sure she has her undivided attention, "friends of yours?" she nods in the direction of the insects.
