Generation Legacy Issue #12

"No problem, Kelly." Wow, gratitude. Things must have gotten pretty bad down there before we showed up. "Three cheers for numerical superiority, really. Your mom should probably be okay, but I'd watch her all the same. Just in case. The crazy...thing...seemed to have some kind of fixation on you, Kelly. What's up with that?"

"Hey Mark, Star," Karen greets the two latecomers, "Had a nice swim?" by the time she's gotten up to get Mark a plate, she sees the speedy leader of Legacy already helped himself.

"Just being polite Cassie," she smiles, "It smells and looks really good. I'm sure it tastes likewise. I never got to try any southern food... So who wants some sweet tea?" she gets up to fill any offered glasses.

"Yeah, ran into that new German guy Roland. Nice guy," Mark took a bite. Spicy.
 

He sat there, eating, not really paying attention, his mind pondering various things. Of what Cassie had theorized about Chaos. Of his own personal experience with him. Of Jun Min's warning about him.

Of his own knowledge about chaos and order as it pertained to math, and how it could pertain to the world as Elites saw it.

Each of them was heavily involved with something that was going to shake the world. The question is ... why was he still here? Then he realized that there were probably times they'd asked themselves the same question. Were any of them truly strong enough to deal with world-shaking problems? Was anyone?

He shook his head, already knowing the answer to that question. Nobody was ready, or able, at least not without help of some kind.

"It's good. Not too spicy, but not too bland either."

He pointed out one dish, which looked like it had potatoes in it, "This stuff is especially good."

"He is crazy...and scary. He did all of that because of me. That guy who was controlling my mom was Neuro...he was the one who mind controlled me, and changed everything in my head around so much that it didn't feel like it was me in my head. Umm you know why I came to school right? I told you guys about it, how he controlled me and got me to do bad stuff? Paragon and Oracle stopped him and got me mostly free and then sent me here." Kelly said with a tired sigh.

"He wasn't all gone when I was here, he made me do and say stuff and he was starting to get really in control and thats when I ran away from here, he wanted me away from anyone that could help me. Tommy got a nice elite lady to help me get him out or something, but I don't know, he started calling himself Legion and could start to take over everone or something. I thought he was gone...really gone, I destroyed the him that was in my mind, and thats how I think he survived when Phase killed his body, all the parts of him that were in all the different people that he used his powers on...Umm...during the huricane when I disappeared, I just wished I was home cause mom and dad always know what to do and it just sorta happened, I didn't mean for it to, to run away...anyway He...Neuro was controlling my mom, he got her to call Bishop and Phase...he got them to kill my daddy, by begging them for help since mom knew them back before there was a Pantheon."

"My dad had a gone pointed at my mom, he looked crazy when I got there, he was about to shoot her figuring there wasn't a way to save her but that he could stop Neuro, and Phase shot him to protect mom. Legion wanted totake away everyone from me, everyone I care about so that he'd be the only left to me and I'd marry him. He also told me that my mom had an affair with Bishop, that he's my real father, I think cause he wanted to hurt me even more...I mean I had called up so much energy to try and stop him that my body was dying, and I didn't care anymore, I just wanted him to be stopped."
Kelly says, starting to cry. "How can anyone say he loves me and do all of that stuff to hurt me? Its not right."
 

Kelly & Ryan

Tommy speaks his eyes closed, “Legion from my estimates possesses no physical body, and he has somehow evolved either naturally or forcibly into a being of pure consciousness, he can inhabit other beings and is capable of splitting his being to create a hive network… but there must be a finite limit to this energy, or he could simply control every person the globe given a suitable amount of time.”

He pauses briefly, “Your mother is free of infection, though as a side effect of his possession his victims are fully aware of what is going on and are powerless to do anything about the possession. They become backseat drivers in their own bodies, which is the true trauma of this event.”

“In the end, he will be very difficult to track down, and destroy. Stopping him is not enough, he needs to be destroyed utterly, there is no rehabilitating him,” Tommy finishes.

The Dinner

Kal eats several shares worth of food, “This is good stuff, Cassie. Man and don’t worry about all that Eternal talk, they are pretty powerful but if you destroy one, another takes its place. It’s a cosmic thing, sort of like perpetuating existence, and all that you know? I wouldn’t worry too much about Chaos, he is a little out there, but he isn’t exactly evil either… ort of just beyond good and evil you know? Like pretty much the rest of the eternals.”

Kal chews down more food. He takes a drink, “I mean the Eternals are not gods, they are agents of some cosmic force, or at least that is what my dad… my real dad explained to me. I don’t claim to have all the answers but if you think they are involved and since the Overseer is involved I don’t see why that wouldn’t be true… then yeah something big is going to happen,” he burps.

Aya shrugs, “I don’t understand any of this, and who cares anyway? Overseer is a bad guy, we beat him up we win right? And don’t forget about the Red Witch and Genocide, because they have to pay for their crimes too, right?”

Gadget arrives wiping her brow and adjusting her glasses, “Hey guys, sorry I couldn’t greet you when you first got back. The UNJE had me working overtime, so what did I miss?”

She grabs a soda from the fridge and sits down next to Gilden.

"Gilden, do you know any healing spells or anything? I was checking up on Kelly earlier and she looked really bad... Maybe you know off something to help her?"

"I'm such an idiot," he says as he slaps himself in the forehead. "It happened so quickly, I didn't get a chance to try and heal her. I shall try after I eat."

Gilden watches the others as they arrive and sit down to eat, he samples a variety of the foods that are present. "This food is very good Cassie, I don't think I have ever eaten anything like it before."

"A robotic dog as well as a cybernetic ape from what I hear, unfortunately both had to be destroyed." He tells her with a smile offering her some of his cornbread.

“Oh yeah I saw all that,” she laughs, “That was amazing, I sort of spent some time perusing through some of Tommy’s databanks; a little unethical, but very fun!” She takes the cornbread hesitantly and smiles biting it into it.

“Now this is good, so what were you guys all talking about…” she says with a playful giggle.
 

"I don't supose you know any of the Eternals beyond Overseer and Chaos?" She asks Kal. "I was presented with the existance of at least two others. Hope and Fate. Hope was supposedly kill some time back."

Kal nods, “The Eternals are actually a great number of beings, there are certainly more then the ones you have had contact with. Some have no reason to ever concern themselves with sentient beings while others are closely tied to us.”

“I never heard of one called Hope though… what do you know about this one?” he asks.
