EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

[Velmont]

"What we want? As I said, it is what I want. I want his help to get New York, as he has been created with Split's power. New York must have one of the personnality of Split's clone, and having him on my side will help me to understand how New York is thinking.

Now, I doubt he will want to help me from good heart, but knowing that Jennifer want to see Split, I'll offer him Jennifer and some money. Johan will have to come with me, as he will be the only one who Jen will follow. Finally, I choose an open place because I don't want him to double cross me, I'll be able to see him coming from far. I'm used to do military training and tactics in field. That's was my suggestion.

But I must tell a field have one negative side, people that shouldn't be there would have difficult time to hide. Another way would have been to do it in a crowdy place, but now that's too dangerous, as I doubt Split will come with us without a fight. A field or stadium have that's good. And we must consider that he can teleport anywhere there is a clone within a mile, so if a clone his hiding and we can't see it, he will be easily escaping."

"The number is 12," X12 says, turning slowly to regard whomever is behind him. "This is a very nice place Mr. Jasman and you have here."

Lynn: 4/4; Okies

Lynn takes her hand away from the gate and reaches for her bag. She retrieves an old paperback book, a copy of 'Gods of the New Millennium' one well worn and obviously well read. Openning it at the bookmark she tries to focus on the book in hand, wanting to ignore the urge to force the images she had seen further. After only a moment, she puts the book down and places both palms on the gate, trying once again to bring up the vision of X12 with the red eyed woman.

ooc:Yes, I will spend the HP to refocus the vision.

Michael, 5/5, full health

"How are we gonna stop the invisibility? I mean he will probably split himself before the exchange for fast escape." Looking over at Jay, Michael is a little surprised. I didn't know he had super hearing.oops. Michael asks with more than a bit of disappointment "We are supposed to take him alive?"

Mega-City of New York
EPIC Headquarters, The War Room
"Just a wild guess," Monica says, "but this guy isn't going to buy we are willing to trade Jennifer just to get some information on why Kevin's double is alive. And dealing with a psychopath to learn the inner workings of his mind doesn't sound like too good of an idea."

"Um... well, he did kind of contact me before we went to Brazil," Vince says.

Everyone that was there kind of goes silent and turns to regard Vince with varying degrees of calmness.

"About what," Cosmo says flatly.

"He said he had information the blood samples and that guy, Afifi, and wanted to to trade it for Jennifer," Vince says. "But it was Split! Like I was going to believe him. And he wouldn't return my wing."

There is silence for about fifteen seconds before Cosmo says, "You... <censored>! You tell us now, instead of when we were heading to Brazil? Holy crap! He might have given us some warning about what was going to happen!" Cosmo looks pale, which is a bit odd for being as mad as he sounds, and is gripping the table hard enough to cause a crease to start forming in the wood and metal.

Fenris
You have no doubt that Cosmo is about 'this' far from snapping, and when he snaps, it is usually a bad thing.

Morgentaller District
X12
The person behind you is, of course, the pale woman, who has a questioning expression on her face again. However, she gestures for you to enter a comfortable waiting room. She closes her eyes again for a moment, and when she opens them points to an antique grandfather clock. She points at the bottom of the hour, obviously indicating a timeframe or waiting period, before going to her desk.

You can see her from your waiting room. Oddly enough, she makes a phone call though she doesn't appear to say anything and soon hangs up the phone.

From her indications, you'll have a 20 minute wait.

Lynn Jenkins
This time, your curiosity drives you to overcome the lack of visions. You soon focus in on X12. On several occasions he visits the house, each time dressed a little differently, hair a little different. He has a scar once that he has no other time. Each time he is accompanied by the same woman. From time to time you get a good look at her expressionless features and what turns out to be a cybernetic eye. As you focus on her, you see her accompanying several women who all look remarkably like her to this psychic. As that image fades, you suddenly receive a pair of images almost as if the gate is begging to show you. One is of the woman carrying an unconscious X12, in which you can see a tatoo on the back of his neck, into the house, then shortly later she emerges with the still unconscious boy. You see them enter a car and drive away.

The final images strikes you as odd. It is approaching midday. You see the woman approach the gate, from the street, but she is unable to open it. "Who are you? Why are you here?" she asks. You don't hear the response. A few moments later, from inside the house, you hear a man scream followed by a crashing sound.

 

[Velmont]

Jay looks at Cosmo "Calm down, it will do nothing good to be on your nerves. Vince, being in a team mean more than have someone to protect your back in a fight. Information like that should have been told earlier. And it is not a question to beleive it or not. It both help to analyze the habits of someone like him, and there is way to confirm information like that. A severe punition would have been given to you in the army, but for now, it is to Michelle to decide.

Now that we know that, it might help us a lot. If the trade have been suggested by him, we will have an easier time to conceal the trap. But he will be on his guard for sure."

 

[Agamon]

Sanjay looks about ready to snap, too. "What?!? Monica almost died down there! Not to mention, Vida, Ms. Vaile...oh, right, and me! If we had some more info going in, a lot of that might have been avoided. And then there's the fact that that lunatic's threatened to freaking kill my family! And you took it upon yourself to dismiss his offer completely without even mentioning it to us? Does your brain shrink every time you mutate, or has it always been pea-sized?", he shouts angrily, his eyes and hands beginning to glow.

 

[Dalamar]

Johan's thoughts are in quite a turmoil over the revelation. A part of him wants to blame Vince for his separation into two different persons, as well as Anna's close death. However, another part is quite sure that neither would have been avoided even if they had had more information unless said information was much more than hinted at.
So he just rubs his temples in an effort to calm himself, and also readies to start the sprinklers (or whatever goes for fire control) in the War Room, and only the War Room, should anybody start physical hostileties. Unless, of course, he knows of some more approriate security measures that he could jump start.
"Oh man..."

 

[Gideon]

Michael, 5/5, full health

"Maybe a second set of wings might help seal the deal on the meeting?" Michael deadpans into the angry shouting of the room.

Tensing his muscles and preparing to change into his werewolf form Fenris lets a growing vicous smile grow. Looking around the room at the assembled team members judging who will fall on which side of the fight.

Looks like 2 on 1. I think we can take him before the rest stop us.

 

[Mordane76]

X12 waits quietly, thumbing through any available reading.
