Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

"That sounds good to me," Mark agreed. "When is Gilden set to go?"

"After class. If you want to join us, he's got an open invite going. I think we'll be taking over a gym."

Anika pauses for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "That's not all. I just wanted to apologise for our incident when you came out of Paragon's office yesterday. I thought I knew what I was talking about. Apparently...not so much," she says with a thin-lipped smile. While the apology was genuine, she still felt that something strange was going on. She would have asked him about it, if Ryan hadn't been there. His privacy was more important than her curiosity.

"After class. If you want to join us, he's got an open invite going. I think we'll be taking over a gym."

"Sure. How often am I going to see a demon summoning?"

Anika pauses for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "That's not all. I just wanted to apologise for our incident when you came out of Paragon's office yesterday. I thought I knew what I was talking about. Apparently...not so much," she says with a thin-lipped smile.

Despite himself, Mark's eyes darted over to Ryan for a fraction of a second. Probably too fast for him to see. Hopefully. "Don't worry about it," Mark paused for an awkward moment. "Everybody makes mistakes and," I'm going to have to tell them all eventually. Before Paragon does. "It's been hard for everyone around here lately."

"So what do you think about this winter festival they have coming up? Because if your interested in it and you were planning on going, I was wondering if you would like to go to it with me. Together... Like a date..." He stops talking realising that he is about to start rambling on. "Man, and I thought that ritual was hard." He thinks to himself.

Gadget blinks, “Uhh what, wait, huh? You mean like together, like to the festival, I mean. You would go with me, oh wow… wait. Oh wow… umm did you just ask that? Wait was I thinking that? Because sometimes I am thinking to myself, and I think people are saying it… but then I am just thinking that. But then if you said it, then that means I should answer…”

“Maybe I should not verbalize my thoughts, oh my gosh, I am still talking. Umm…” she blushes, “I have to go to the bathroom right now!”

Gadget turns and makes a hasty retreat before Gilden gets a chance to say anything else.

Kelly

Kelly’s mother nods, “I will take care of the company, you worry about yourself.”

She smiles, “I was joking Kelly, I won’t intrude on your night, it was an honest to god joke.”

Kelly

Kelly’s mother nods, “I will take care of the company, you worry about yourself.”

"Ok, its up to you, but I still think we should get Tommy to make anti-neuro stuff, and then go have a hostile takeover. A very hostile take over." the girl says grinning.

She smiles, “I was joking Kelly, I won’t intrude on your night, it was an honest to god joke.”

The girl blushes. "Oh...uh, thats a good one. You can come if you want to, you should come. Its probably not a good thing to be alone. You should defintiely come, and I can introduce you to everyone." A thought occurs to the girl and she looks puzzled for a moment before asking a new set of questions.

"Umm...do you remember everything that happened? I mean, you and dad were so determined to bring me home, was that really you or was it Neuro trying to get me alone again?"

“I just want you to be happy honey, don’t worry about me. I want you to have a good time that night and enjoy yourself. Just be a normal girl, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to,” she replies softly.

Her mother pauses at the question, “I remember that, but I had no control over what he said to you… I am sorry. Let’s just put that in the past honey.”

"No, I really want you to enjoy yourself too. I really want you to meet everyone too. All of my friends. I want you to meet them as you this time. I like them and I know they'll like you too. Thats normal isn't it? Having your mom know your friends?" she asks, smiling at her mom, wanting her to feel welcome and not alone or lonely...at least as much as was possible.

"Its okay, I don't really like remembering all the things I said and did either. It was really freaky, I thought I was going nuts for awhile...but its all better now...though I guess that is all sort of relative." taking her que from her mom's discomfort the girl shifts around to cuddle next to her, and drops her head to rest on her mom's chest. "Do you want to come with me to the cafeteria for lunch? Or do you want to stay in here away from everyone?"

Cassie nods to a few of her class mates as she walks into her first class of the day. Strangely she felt good for snapping at Ryan. Though, admitedly she didnt see what she could do in the way of entertainment, since she didn't feel up to dancing as yet.

She pulled out the book for the class, Modern Civilization, and set her notebook down beside it. The class was interesting, though she found that it tended to downplay the elments of american and asian cultures to a degree, most likely since they were using European texts.

Still, it was an interesting class, and best of all.. Ryan wasn't in it. She felt hurt that he expected her to be thankful for his role in her 'rescue'. He was looking out for his own interests, and it was clear as she looked over her past contacts with him that was all that mattered to him.

Thats normal isn't it? Having your mom know your friends?" she asks, smiling at her mom, wanting her to feel welcome and not alone or lonely...at least as much as was possible.

"It can be normal, I suppose, my mother drove me nuts and I think she knew only the friends she would have approved of. The rest well, being young is about being rebellious," she shrugs.

"Its okay, I don't really like remembering all the things I said and did either. It was really freaky, I thought I was going nuts for awhile...but its all better now...though I guess that is all sort of relative." taking her que from her mom's discomfort the girl shifts around to cuddle next to her, and drops her head to rest on her mom's chest. "Do you want to come with me to the cafeteria for lunch? Or do you want to stay in here away from everyone?"

"Only if that is what you want honey, I don't want to to intrude, and I am sure I will meet them all soon enough," she smiles.

 

[Mimic]

Gadget turns and makes a hasty retreat before Gilden gets a chance to say anything else.

"Is that a yes or a no?" He thinks to himself, as he stands there watching her leave. "Women are very confusing," he says to no one in general as he heads off to his first class of the day.

Lunch Time

The students get a brief break to eat in the day full of classes and activities. Ryan will have his afternoon full running physical training sessions with Jun Min. Mr. Kincaid has the students working on several engines in his class, while the rest of the students slave away at school work, sometimes boring instructors and trying to stay focused on every day things in a world that is becoming increasingly fantastic.

After Classes…

The students get a chance to relax, well they get a chance to not have to do school work. They get a chance to socialize with their peers, and try and do normal after class activities restricted to a national park size campus.

The majority of the Legacy crew and their friends converge on the gym to participate in the summoning by Gilden. The attack against Genocide still looms and suspicion is still high amidst the circle of friends and allies that a spy is in their midst… a spy that may already have a face… or maybe just another lie amidst all the lies already floating about.

Jun Min waits in her office for Cassie, while the rest of the students decide how to spend their evening…
