Generation Legacy Issue #12

[Samnell]

"Maybe later, Mark. I ... I have something to do first..." she replies distractedly when he asks if anyone wants to go swimming, "I don't float very well anyway," she offers a wry smile before disappearing down the hall. She allows her body to become invisible and follows Paragon and Bishop.

Mark shrugged, "Can't argue with sinking."

"Maybe later, Mark. I ... I have something to do first..." she replies distractedly when he asks if anyone wants to go swimming, "I don't float very well anyway," she offers a wry smile before disappearing down the hall. She allows her body to become invisible and follows Paragon and Bishop.

Paragon leads Bishop and Mr. Smith towards the infirmary where Dr. McTaggert is already prepping her staff for the arrival of the two elites. Bishop pauses hesitant to leave Kismet there, but relents.

There is an uneasy moment between the two elites before they both step outside the doors of the infirmary. Bishop finally breaks the silence, “So what shall you do with me, you can’t exactly have a wolf in your flock…”

Paragon thinks, “Imprisonment for your crimes, is a start. But I think we both know that we have bigger problems now. There was a moment that we were going to work together back at Eden… I am thinking we need to revisit that idea.”

Bishop furrows his brow, “What? Are you serious?”

“I wouldn’t suggest it if I wasn’t,” Paragon replies coolly. He cocks his head slightly, “You have access to several elites that could be useful to the effort. If we are to survive we believe may be the single greatest threat to our survival as a species, then e will have to take a larger view and work together for the short term.”

Bishop scoffs, “And I assume in this brave new world we protect, you would be there to lend a guiding hand.”

Paragon smiles, “Don’t be so pessimistic. I know our methods are not exactly the same, but we both want the same thing. A better world, in our own way… I can respect that. But we have to realize that we can’t fight each other.”

Bishop replies, “I agree that we have to put aside our differences for the Overseer, but the Movement is not Pantheon, and we are definitely not the UNJE…”

“You should consider this, it would be better then the alternative. Confinement in a facility that would be impossible even for you to escape, and you would never see your daughter… again,” Paragon intones gesturing for Bishop to follow.

Bishop scowls, “You are a right nasty bloke.” Bishop falls in step as the two enter his office the door closing in front of Karen.

Back in mark’s Room

Tommy shrugs, “Well I suppose I should make myself at home for the time being. Mark, I think you will have to excuse me for swimming, I should really be with Kelly. She is my girlfriend and I should be there for her.”

Star replies, “I will go swimming.”

Cassie shrugs and looks to Anika and the others calmly. "Tell me, when did it become an imperitive in Ryan's eyes to 'save' me? Would it be some point after he found out that I'm a pivotal point in defeating the Overseer and preventing a possible future where he is killed by him? I am betting it was. Ryan has never had a use for me, and the sudden change of heart points to him acting on something new." She brushes at her hair and looks to them. "Ryan coming to save Kelly, I can buy. Ryan coming to save me? I'd be very certain of some amount of Self-Interest."

 

[Aenion]

Karen follows the two powerful Elites as quietly as possible. She was sure neither would appreciate it if they found out she was evesdropping. She listens to their conversation with more than a bit of curiosity and is as surprised as Bishop when Paragon proposes to work together. By the time they reach Paragon's door, she was smiling, That's a relief. If they can work together against Overseer, we might succeed. If he could stop threatening people, Paragon might not be such a bad person. ... Daughter?! William has a daughter? Tommy said something about saving William when he was talking about Kelly's... No that couldn't be... Could it? Could William be Kelly's father?

She passes by the infirmary to check on Kelly, becoming visible again right before she reaches the door. She doesn't hang around for very long, just wanting to make sure her friend was going to be alright, Poor girl... I hope you're going to be alright... Nearly died twice today, lost your soul, lost your dad, almost lost your mother, made to believe you lost Tommy, maybe found your real dad? How much can someone take in one day? she wonders, a worried frown creasing her forehead. She gently strokes the younger girl's blonde hair before turning around to leave her to her sleep.

I need a shower ... and new clothes... she thinks as she makes her way to Kal's room, feeling a bit better knowing that everyone is safely back at the institute and that Bishop seems to be relatively safe as well.

Charlotte looks back and forth between Ryan and Anika, honestly not sure if this was the right time or not to mention everything. She wanted to say something to Cassie, but wasn't sure exactly what she would say. In response to Ryan she finally spoke, "Yeah, I still need to talk to you two. Anika, would you mind opening that portal real quick?"

 

[Agamon]

"I'd appreciate that, Ryan," Anika replies to his offer. More of a burn than laceration, so not much blood, I don't think.

Replying to Cassie, she says, "He's a part of Legacy, and came with the rest of us..." She pauses though when she realizes she's right: he did want to go get her as soon as he found out about her. "Your right, Cassie. There are different reasons everyone wants to protect you, and not all of them might be selfless. But the fact is we all want to keep you safe. Is that so horrible?"

Turning to Charlotte, she says, "Oh, right. Just me and Ryan? Okay..." She looks apologetically at Sami. "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere."

She turns and reopens the portal to her sanctum with a small prayer. "After you two."

 

[Hammerhead]

Well, it's not like Ryan can see the wound.

Ryan places his hand on Anika's shoulder, repairing the damage. He shoots a look at her as she replies to Cassie, but does nothing else. He steps through the portal, his eyes taking the place in. Wow, not bad. This is pretty cool.

 

[Samnell]

Tommy shrugs, “Well I suppose I should make myself at home for the time being. Mark, I think you will have to excuse me for swimming, I should really be with Kelly. She is my girlfriend and I should be there for her.”

"Ok, see you later Tommy."

Star replies, “I will go swimming.”

"Great," Mark smiled. "You had me worried back there..."

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Feeling extremely weary, her body feelign better but strangely still feeling tired despite that Cassie turns to head back to her rooms, to change before checking to see if the kitchen could be available and what is available for use to cook.

She walks into the kitchen with a printed out list and sets about working on getting the meal started. (Jambalya) As she cooks the food she texts out a message while she works on the rice and cornbread.

OOC: Texting a message otu an invitation. (Pretty much everyone but Ryan and Tina, she figures they won't come.

Jun Min scowls, “One I am well aware of the reputation that the UNJE has in the United States, and the U.S. does not exactly have the best reputation in my country either… I am not going to get into that.”

He paused, "I'm not saying the US is perfect but ..."

He shrugged, "I won't get into politics. Let's just say that the UN has a bad history. Much worse than the US does."

She rubs her forehead, “What is your problem with Paragon?”

He scowled about Paragon, "My issue with him? It's a personal one. I don't like his type of people. When it was revealed I was Elite, he was the sort of person who caused me a lot of problems. When you see a problem, you fix it if you've got the ability. You don't wait for the person who has the authority to do so."

But her anger rises at the end, “Timothy, I understand your concern! But as an adult and a member of this faculty I cannot let you insult me or my staff and friends. Do you think this is easy? I care about very student, and I care about your well being. I don’t want you to be afraid when you are here, but you have to trust us to do our job, protecting you against the world is not easy. But that is the job I signed up to do… if you think you can do better then please by all means try. I am sorry if you feel hurt, but don’t get an attitude with me, you won’t like me when I get pissed.”

His scowl deepened, if that was possible, "Like I said, if I'm in danger, protect me from it, but don't hide the truth from me. I got sick of that long ago, of counselors trying to make my issues out as less than they were. When they knew how screwed up I was. If I'm threatened, give me the details. Don't just try and protect me. And ..."

He stopped at the door, "I'm not a man to be around when I get pissed either. Don't assume you've got the corner market on anger. How do you think I survived at times with an abusive family? It wasnt just a matter of withdrawing into a shell or making myself socially vanish."

He doesnt wait for an answer.
