Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Mimic]

Aya looks up, “Yeah, have a seat… I am not quite sure why classes or anything can’t start at like one in the afternoon. I am not even sure why I am going to class, but I guess I should learn something while I am here… until I can convince Gadget and Kal to go back to our not so crazy world.”

"Perhaps if you didn't stay up so late, it would be easier to get up in the morning." He says with a snicker as he sits down with them.

Gadget smiles, “I can’t I have so much work to do here, I wear they have so many nice toys to play with. Who knew the future would be so much fun! Paragon really respects my work, I have the best boss a girl could ever have. Don’t you agree Gilden?”

"Of course he respects your work, how can he not. I have only met the man a few times but he does seem nice."

Aya shrugs, “Whatever, what does a girl have to do to get some action around here, I think all the boys are stupid or something. They obviously don’t recognize a hottie when they see one.”

"Maybe your just hitting on the wrong ones, Mark seems to be quite involved with Star and Timothy seems to be a pretty absorbed with his own thoughts."

Cassie

“I think you have a few things backwards in that line of thinking, but this is about you not what you perceive or believe Ryan may or may not want with you. All I can say is even if you two do not get along on a personal level, Ryan risked his life for you. I think you both just have to come to grips with that neither of you are going to be great friends, you two just rub each other the wrong ways…” Jun Min replies with a mental sigh.

“But this is more about you then him, so lets put that aside for now. What worries me most is that you have resigned yourself to dying. I am sorry but no successful plan ever began with, well I am going to die so… I would rather focus on how we can survive this. Because there has to be away… you going poof or just dying to this Overseer is not going to work for me. So put that out of your mind as well… instead focus on the positive, either way, you seem to be the focus for what could possibly be the way to combat and defeat the end of the world… take solace in that and build from there,” Jun Min finishes.

"I tried, several times. He keeps throwing things back at me. In Hong Kong, after he tried to show how he was 'reconciling', he derided my efforts. And I've not given up, but honestly do you think I have a chance going up against a powerhouse like Overseer? Ryan might. I don't know how I can help him in the fight anyway. I'm an overamped martial artist. No powers that could truly harm something like the Overseer."

“Just put him out of your mind, he is a jerk. You waste too much energy wondering or even caring what he thinks, so stop it. That would go a long way to negating that negative stress you receive from him. It really is a waste of your time,” Jun Min replies.

“But honestly you need to think beyond just beating the Overseer to a pulp. From what we learned from your encounter with him, direct physical confrontation is going to be a lose-lose situation for everyone involved. Simply beating him up isn’t going to win the day, we have to think outside the box; to use a cliché. We don’t have that answer yet, but I am confident we will,” she replies keeping pace with Cassie, “I doubt anyone wants to die, and we are all just as scared as you are… so don’t think you are going this alone.”

Gilden

Aya replies, “Sleeping is a crutch.”

Gadget shrugs, “I like to get as much sleep as I can, it helps to keep the mind keen and sharp; don’t you agree Gilden?”

“Stop sucking up just because you like him,” Aya retorts.

“I do not,” she blushes, “I just agree that is all.”

“Whatever,” danger Girl looks at Gilden, “Yeah maybe I am chasing the wrong guys… the guys from this stupid dimension… speaking of which look at that guy he is… oh my god is that Ryan?”

She gestures toward Ryan and Tina, except Ryan isn’t glowing…

"I don't think I'm alone. Anika and Charlotte will stand by me, and I'm sure the rest of the Legacy will step up, it's.. just that Ryan's hipocracy grates." Cassie shrugs and thinks to herself for a moment. "I wonder.. is there anyway you could probe my mind? Look for hints of the past I do not recall? It would be helpful to resolve which story is real and which is a lie."

 

[Agamon]

Sami thinks over what she says for a long time. And then shrugs, “I trust you Ani, so I will stay for you. You need to see this through, you are an important person now, and have so much responsibility. I just don’t want to get in the way of that.”

“But really, where would I go?” he laughs, “I would rather be here waiting for you, to make sure you make it back safe and sound. I may not be superhuman, but I can at least just try and be there for you, right?”

Anika smiles. "Would you stop saying that you're in the way? You are not in the way. I'm happy that you'd stick around for me, but I'm not going to let you get hurt anymore. As long as you're left alone, then I'll stay here and do what I can. But I don't care how 'important' it is, if comes down to picking between my job and the people I care about, it's no contest."

She shakes her head. "Okay, enough of that, I'm famished. Let's go." As they make their way to the cafeteria, Anika explains (complains?) that they've missed a lot of class, and catching up and prepping for the Genocide battle is going to keep her pretty busy the next few days.

They enter the cafeteria. "...and that ritual with Gilden to summon...hey, who's that with Tin...Ryan??" she exclaims, her jaw agape.

“I would think never sleeping would be incredibly dull, or just make you very cranky. I mean Ryan never sleeps, and look at him. Plus Kelly has little need for sleep and she isn’t exactly miss congeniality,” she laughs at her own joke.

Mark laughed, "I guess I'll pass then. If I end up like Ryan I couldn't stand myself."

“Oh and Arabic is not overly difficult, I have assimilated several languages into my databanks, if you ever need a speaking partner,” she finishes.

Mark perked up a fair bit. She can speak Arabic? What about Spanish? "Do you have Spanish too? That's the other language I've got. I can swear in it but anything that's not about mothers, sex, or bodily functions I don't know. I'm going to need the help."

“Of course, I can speak Spanish as well,” she demonstrates her fluency with ease. Star continues cooking, “Tommy always felt it would make me much more adaptive if I could understand and communicate in a multitude of languages.”

Cafeteria

Sami blinks, “Wow… that is different.”

Cassie

“It is possible but dangerous… and unethical. I don’t like to probe deeply into people’s minds, there are things there… sometimes I don’t even want to see. But you might be right, there may be something deep in your mind that could be useful. I will need to think about this,” Jun Min replies hesitantly.

“I would need your complete compliance and trust… why don’t you think it over before you decide something like this,” she comes to a stop and checks her pulse and relaxes.

She speaks out loud, “Nice run… I wish I had your energy,” she smiles.

Wow. "Is there anything you can't do?" Mark smiled, impressed. "You cook, you speak like a thousand languages, you save my life, you kick ass..." Those knockoff Stars really didn't have anything on her.

“Well there are several things that are an impossibility for me, by the constraints of my construction,” she replies still cooking, “But I try not to dwell on the things I am not capable of, because that will not change without… being an organic, synthetic, but still a living breathing organism. But I guess that was not the answer you were going for.”

“Here you go Mark, eat up,” she puts his food out for him and then begins cleaning up.

"It's what I was built for." Cassie says with complete sincerity. "And I've considered it for a long time. I trust you and this has to be settled one way or another."
