Generation Legacy Issue #12

[Tokiwong]

Anika opens her eyes. She appears ready to cry. "I'm so sorry I had to do that," she whispers to him.

She turns to the other two with an angry, 'I told you so' look. "That is Sami. He hasn't betrayed us. That had better be the end of that. I mean it." She opens the portal. "This is absolutely rediculous. You realize someone is doing this just to screw with our heads, right? And we're falling for it, hook, line and sinker."

She calms down, remembering that this wasn't their fault. "Would you two please give us some privacy?" she tells then, gesturing towards the portal.

Sami puts a hand on her shoulder, “It is fine, I just hope they can trust me now… I am sorry to have brought this stress on you. Maybe I should go back home, all I seem to do is make your life difficult, and it seems difficult enough already as an elite working for the UNJE.”

He looks to Ryan and Charlotte, “I just want you two to know that I am not mad about this, I understand that you lead dangerous lives. It seems being an elite is dangerous work, I am just glad that I am not the spy… I couldn’t even lie to my mom, let alone Ani. She hits really hard, and she has quite the temper!”

Sami laughs trying to lighten the mood.

Mark

Mark recalls that he has International History Studies with this student, his name is Roland, and his English is passable. Star smiles, “Well I am sorry to have scared you earlier… I didn’t have much time to explain verbally… too bad you are not part machine, I could just transmit the information much quicker wirelessly…”

Star smiles, “Well I am sorry to have scared you earlier… I didn’t have much time to explain verbally… too bad you are not part machine, I could just transmit the information much quicker wirelessly…”

"I understand," Mark nodded. "You didn't have time to explain."

 

[Tokiwong]

"I understand," Mark nodded. "You didn't have time to explain."

Star replies, “I am just glad we got there in time to save everyone. That could have gone far worse then it did. I am really glad you all showed up, the situation for worse then anything I was prepared to handle.”

“Good to have Tommy back here with us… along with Cassie and Kelly,” she smiles.

“Good to have Tommy back here with us… along with Cassie and Kelly,” she smiles.

Mark nodded, "Gadget hacked into the computers. She thought Tommy was dead. I kind of thought we would find his body instead of him. Kelly's too."

 

[Agamon]

Sami puts a hand on her shoulder, “It is fine, I just hope they can trust me now… I am sorry to have brought this stress on you. Maybe I should go back home, all I seem to do is make your life difficult, and it seems difficult enough already as an elite working for the UNJE.”

"What? No, don't you ever think you make my life difficult. This is not in any way your fault. And you can't leave. When they couldn't take you from me, they tried to turn me aginast you. You're in danger if you leave here...I mean, unless you really want to go. You're not a prisoner."

He looks to Ryan and Charlotte, “I just want you two to know that I am not mad about this, I understand that you lead dangerous lives. It seems being an elite is dangerous work, I am just glad that I am not the spy… I couldn’t even lie to my mom, let alone Ani. She hits really hard, and she has quite the temper!”

Sami laughs trying to lighten the mood.

Anika half-smiles. She knows he was putting on a brave face, but she felt the resentment he had towards her for doing this to him. She was glad she didn't find anything he may have been hiding from her, that would have been difficult for both of them. It hurt, nonetheless.

She changes the focus. This wasn't over. Someone tried to deceive and humiliate her and her friends and she wouldn;t let them get away with it. "I don't blame you for this either, Charlotte...but we have to investigate where this misinformation came from, starting with the source. Sorry, Charlotte. Shou-Lin is probably as much a pawn in this as you, but he's our best lead if we can't find out who did this to him...if it wasn't simply Overseer lying, that is."

Star shrugs treading water, “I am just glad that didn’t work out.”

Roland pauses swimming, “Excuse me,” he calls, “Mark… right? I think we have class together? You are Legacy team yes? I see you on TV commercial, very exciting. Is this your friend?” he says gesturing to Star.

Star looks to Mark.

Anika, Ryan, and Charlotte

Sami smiles, “I would rather stay here with you, Ani.”

 

[Samnell]

Star shrugs treading water, “I am just glad that didn’t work out.”

"Any time I can get out of having to carry around bodies of friends," Mark agreed

Roland pauses swimming, “Excuse me,” he calls, “Mark… right? I think we have class together? You are Legacy team yes? I see you on TV commercial, very exciting. Is this your friend?” he says gesturing to Star.

"Yeah. You're Roland, right? This is Star," Mark indicates Star. "And you're right, I'm on Legacy."

 

[Tokiwong]

"Yeah. You're Roland, right? This is Star," Mark indicates Star. "And you're right, I'm on Legacy."

Star waves at the mention of her name.

Roland replies, “Hello Star, so you are Legacy… yes I have seen you on TV and around the campus, you are very popular. My family hope that I become as popular as you, one day. I tell them, not so much, I am not famous type. But you, you look good on TV, how do you handle being such a big star?”

“Oh I hope I am not, what is the word, being an intruder?” Roland says looking for the right words to say.

"I like it, really. I mean I live here where people are used to having Legacy around. On breaks I take vacations. It's not bad."

“Oh I hope I am not, what is the word, being an intruder?” Roland says looking for the right words to say.

"No, it's ok. Sometimes I feel like the only people I talk to are Legacy people. And my lawyer." Wonder if Gianni ever got an answer back from Reebok and Nike...

 

[Hammerhead]

"Sorry Anika, but can you check out Sami's mind one more time? I'm not quite sure how your "spell" works, but I'm going to assume you scan for memories and thoughts that you two share...correct? If so, can you approach it from a different angle? Like by looking for memories and thoughts that a spy would have, possibly Arafina herself." Yeah, she's going to hate me. I was hoping Charlotte would ask for another scan, so I wouldn't have to violate our little treaty. I really need to pull a Tina one of these days...
