Epic M&M: Issue 4 (IC)

"Hey Randall. When are you going to come see me again? E-mail just aint cutting it, buster,” she says with a grin. “Call me when you get a day off!”

And that's just what Randall will do, first thing. "Hey Monica, I got the day off today actually"

 

[Calinon]

ARIS, tell me where is Nova

"Nova is not currently at EPIC HQ. She is at Bush Memorial Hospital. Her schedule shows she is visiting Jun Po. She is slated to be back in time to travel to Master Wen's academy."

"Wow that's impressive Tara, how strong is he?" Michelle responds as Hoppy bites through the metal pipe. "How did you grow him? How big can he get?

"Um... I'm thinking about as strong as a four foot long grasshopper is," Tara says, shrugging unknowingly, her happy grin still plastered on her face. "I spent the last few days with him, and it's soooo wierd. I grew him, and it stuck, and then he just kept growing! Finally stopped though. He even responds to verbal commands. He's so smart! I can't wait to train him to do tricks!"

"I don't know, I never heard of a grasshopper license before but I never seen a grasshopper the size of a german shepard either," she responds laughing. "Maybe you should ask Thunder," she adds looking at the time, "which reminds me I have a news broadcast I have to watch, a meeting to attend to plus we have a send off at seven to go to. Your so lucky that you have the day off. Who's bright idea was it to make me the leader anyways?"

"Um... I think it was your bright idea," she says with a giggle. "Hey, can I watch with you? I can come to the meeting too and see what Thunder thinks about Hoppy. Or is this some super secret, "You're on EPIC but can't see this video" type of video?"

"So how long is this field trip to Master Wen's suppose to be, anyone know?"

Trailblazer plops down right next to Raisa. "Bout eighteen hours or so to get there," he says, eating a muffin. "Prolly a month at Wen's, partners. He's quite a character. You'll like it. Nova's even going with you. He's who trained her to control her powers to the degree she does now. It's no small feat he did, lemme tell you."

Turning to Kevin he says, "Coast of China, partner. He lives near a fishing village somewhere. Nice place, but I never paid much attention on the flight," he adds with a laugh.

"Hey Monica, I got the day off today actually"

And at five in the morning, the grumpy father of Monica answers with a "Whuzzah? Huh wha? It's <censored> 5:30AM. Who the hell is this?"

You take the opportunity to quickly hang up and send an email instead.

Har har har!

Mimic: Johan (Powers, Feats)

In bedroom
Nova's coming?

Is that good or bad?

Well, it is always better than Thunder or Mendez... well, that's change my plan for now...

In Kitchen
"18 hours? I hope we are using the EPIC jet. I don't want to travel in economical class, that will be the hell... I have one thing left to prepare, so I'll go eat in my room."

On that, Kevin leave with his yogurt to fruits and nuts and go back to his bedroom.

In bedroom
"Here the breakfast" The duplicate put the breakfast on the table and disapear. Kevin sit down and start to eat.

One month with Raisa, Carl, Dara, Nova, X and that Wen... well, it may turn interesting if I can get some time alone with her...

Sanjay gets to the cafeteria, grabs his usual plate full of food and joins the gang at the table. "So you guys are leaving, hey? Get sick of this place so soon?" he says with a grin. "Hopefully this Wen guy can help you. And if not, hey it's a nice vacation, right?"

"Love the threads, Dara. You are an amazing seamstress. Between my stunning good looks and the fab uniform, the baddies will be dazzled into inaction," he says to Dara with a wink.

"Not going to be the same around here without you guys. I mean, what will we do without X when someone gets a papercut??"

 

[Mimic]

"Um... I think it was your bright idea," she says with a giggle. "Hey, can I watch with you? I can come to the meeting too and see what Thunder thinks about Hoppy. Or is this some super secret, "You're on EPIC but can't see this video" type of video?"

"Oh yea, remind me not to do that again" She says with a grin. "It's just a news feed and so I don't think it would be a big problem for you to come along, besides I want to see Thunder's face when you show him Hoppy."

"ARIS, can you run the news feed please."

 

[Elementor]

Having showered and gotten ready, Vince finally appears in the main mess hall.

"Not going to be the same around here without you guys. I mean, what will we do without X when someone gets a papercut??"

"Yeah right. Papercuts.... You have to go get your hands dirty with me in the trenches sometime there, Mister Sparkle. Not just melt heads from range. X performs absolute miracles. Lets start ripping your limbs off and see if anyone else can fix it."

Grabbing a stack of pancakes and a seperate plate piled high with bacon and eggs, Vince comes over and sits by Sanjay. "Yup, X is the man. I hope it is quiet while he is gone. We don't tend to get a very normal sort of injuries around here. Poor Johan might have to get a spleen regrown or something." he blurts while filling his face. Noticing the stares, he quips, "What?? I'm a growing boy and have to keep my energy up. You know how many caleries I burn up running this fast?" With his new tail flitting around anxiously behind him, Vince continues to wolf down his meal.

 

[Dalamar]

"We have already gone through most of the tests, and the suit has held up. There are some troubles, but those are primarily because of the fact that I'm of a light build, not because of any faults in the suit itself. And speaking of the tests, what is next on the line?"

 

[Deva]

Raisa watches over her shoulder as Kevin leaves then turns to the others. "Eighteen hours on a plane and then a month in a fishing village with the poster boy for Anti-Depressants? Doesn't anyone else get the feeling this is going to be loads of not fun." She picks at a few grapes and asks Trailblazer," So you've been to Master Wen's? What's he like? And how come they call him Master? He some kind of martial arts guru or something like that? And wouldn't it make more sense to fly him here instead of shipping a bunch of us on a hollowed out hunk of metal that defies natural law every time it leaves the ground? I mean, I don't mind flying short distances, but halfway around the world and over a hell of a lot of water? I'm all for going, don't get me wrong, but can't we take a boat? Never mind, I don't do well on open water. Walking is good, can we walk? O deus, eu odeio voar.(translation: God I hate flying.)"

She finally takes a breath and notcies the twitching tail behind Vincent. "Is that a tail Vince," she asks with a playful smile, "or are you just happy to see me?"

"What's this I hear about papercuts and dismemberment," X12 says as he enters the cafeteria. "I swear... we can't go more than 12 hours without someone getting a limb hacked off in this place," he adds with a smile.

"Don't worry, Raisa," X12 says. "The worst that can happen is we'll all plummet thousands of feet into uncertain, unforgiving terrain, probably burst into flames just prior to impact, and have our limbs all hacked and mangled by the wreckage of our erstwhile plane... or, as we call here at EPIC -- Tuesdays."

"Don't worry, Raisa," X12 says. "The worst that can happen is we'll all plummet thousands of feet into uncertain, unforgiving terrain, probably burst into flames just prior to impact, and have our limbs all hacked and mangled by the wreckage of our erstwhile plane... or, as we call here at EPIC -- Tuesdays."

Raisa pales considerably the more X describes. "Meu deus... I am so not getting on that jet!!"
