The popstar reappeared at the entrance to CNN's London office. She entered and walked to the receptionist's desk and smiled at the woman. The blonde girl was wearing a pair of leather pants and a charcoal gray silk button down shirt that flaired out at the tummy to leave her belly button exposed, and her golden hair was fanned out to fram her face. "I'm Kelly Mitchell I'd...I'd like to do an interview." she says, sounding slightly unsure of whether or not it was the best idea.
“Kelly Mitchell? The Kelly Mitchell,” the woman speaks, “Why… oh my gosh… you want to do an interview? We… what is this about?” the receptionist says confused at this turn of events. She gulps, “Just give me a moment, Miss Mitchell,” she smiles and starts typing at her terminal.

On the monitor above is a speech from United States Senator Jacob Booth, “… with the rise in elite violence in the United States, it has become a necessity that new measures be taken to ensure the safety of all United States citizens to live in a free and peaceful nation. With this I propose the Voluntary Elite Registration Act, VERA is controversial. But it is necessary to improve and ensure the security of all US citizens. Now let me clarify the term voluntary…”

“Kelly, my name is Rachel Weiss, call me Rachel,” a female voice speaks. The woman is older about her mother’s age. She has red hair, pulled back in a bun with slim glasses and a power suit that probably was bought at one of the boutiques she just left. “I am sorry to say that we did not receive a notice from your press agent… but please, come with me and we can discuss this interview… is this for a new album?” she says walking to a private elevator.

“Huh?” Chance looks confused, “I don’t know I observed the whole world through your eyes Cassie, I know everything you do… I don’t know. I don’t really concern myself with doing things the right way, I just do it, you know? If people don’t like it, then to hell with them, we got better things to do then worry about stupid stuff like that, right?”

“A better question is why does normal life intimidate you so much?” she says flopping into a chair while the hostess brings out some clothes.

Casssie thought on that one. It was a pretty simple question all things considered. She was afraid. Of course her first expereince in the real world had been an attempted rape.

Combat was simple, to the point. Fight. Survive. Win. Real life had all these rules and regualtions. You were supposed to be good. The law was supposed to help everyone not the priveledged few.

She nodded as she mulled that over. "I quess I"m still a little scared from that first moment of awareness. I just haven't moved past it. It was easier to put up a wall around the hard stuff. But I disagree with you.. doing good does matter." She sipps the coffee one of the salon ladies brought her. "But I could.. unbend a litlte couldn't I?" she asks. Consideing how more like the others she could be. Chance was the same sum of experiences she was, just appliying a different equation to them.
 

"Thank you, no need to be nerveous." Kelly tells the receptionist, doing her best to reassure her that it wasn't avery big deal, and that she shouldn't feel nerveous. When she was greeted by the other woman, obviously a manager, most likely one of the senior ones, Kelly turned an smiled at her. "Nice to meet you Rachel." At the mention of her press agent Kelly gives a mirthless laugh. "I haven't spoken to him in months, and he has nothing to do with this." she says sounding slightly weary as she follows the older woman to a private elevator. Once the door clothes she sighs.

"I wish it was a new album. Its about being an Elite, what its like, how dangeruous it is. About whats really going on with behind the scenes at the UNJE, with Cardinal, and with Bishop's 'Movement'. If people have to hate Elites, they should at least know why we were created first, and how." Kelly tells the woman, offering the exclusive on what could be one of the biggest stories of the millenium. "Its also about me, and the elite who murdered my father." she says heavily.

"Will you listen to my story?"

OOC: Diplomacy check to get her taken seriously. Not that it wouldn't be a big story either way. Take 10 to get her a 23 for a result.

“You could unbend a lot,” she jokes, “but I know you have your fears sister. Well I think you are probably right, doing the right thing is good for its own sake right? I guess I just never really saw things the same way you do; but being scared is normal consider how we started our existence on this forsaken rock.”

Chance drinks a glass of water, flavored with lemon, “Really we are probably more alike then we are different… I guess. I mask my fear by being tough and hurting anyone that has a chance of hurting me. Life is much easier that way.”

She stands and starts getting undressed, cracking her neck as she exposes her skin. She had the same exact hard build as Cassie, which is no surprise. She starts trying on functional yet stylish clothes with a smirk, “You know most girls would ill to have our body.”

Oh yeah she is going to listen…

Rachel listens to Kelly and then speaks as the elevator rises, “Wow that is quite the story Kelly… you are pretty much dropping the hottest story right into our laps here. I am sure we can make some time for you definitely. How about you relate to me everything you have to say,” she taps a small device on her shoulder, “I hope you don’t mind if I record this whole conversation.”

The door opens into an large spacious office overlooking the London skyline. She smiles taking a seat on a comfortable and ergonomic chair, gesturing for Kelly to do the same. Rachel adds, “I almost wish this was about a new album; this is going to be huge Kelly, are you sure about this?”

Saiyuki’s Café

Kal adds, “Yeah I am sure the lady wants to see some clothes, and not so much the computer geek squad; despite being a geek herself.” He chews through his food quickly, “So what’s your deal Tim, you seem pretty guarded, sounds like you had things pretty rough back home?”

"You big jock," Karen grins at him, "But yeah I'm not really into computers and stuff... I could do with a new pair of jeans. Besides even a geek like me likes to look good for her boyfriend," she pops another bit of sushi into Kal's mouth before turning attentively to Timothy, curious as to the reason behind his strange behaviour.

"Yeah, so I've been told. Perks of engineering I quess. What do you think of our situation? I mean, our possible histories and such." Cassie sips her latte a bit more, then nibbles on a biscotti. "And how we play in 'mother's' plans. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being considered nothing but someone's tool. "

Cassie looks to her. "If we're the reincarnation of Hope, do we need her telling us what to do. And if we're merely engineered soliders..why do we need to do what she says." Cassie smiles "Basically we need to figure out what we want to do right?" she puts her drink down. "and I'm babbling aren't I?"

"Right, perhaps a combination of both. One group, of those that are less mobile, to port in, while those that can get around quickly unseen can move into positions around the compound and move in," Anika adds. "What do you think, Mark?"

"Kiyana, do you think you can short out Surge?" Mark asked, ideas forming. "I can probably take the baselines by myself. If we can get Surge out of the equation it's just us and Genocide." Electricity and water. It could work...
 

"Hmm...just the basics...that is going to be hard, it all requires a lot of background knowledge, and there are so many different things to cover." Kelly says, looking at the floor for a moment before looking up at the woman and the camera. "Ok, I guess I can start with the part about me, and the elite who murdered my dad, since that doesn't need all the huge background." the girl says with a sad sigh.

"This...this is really personal...so bear with me a little." she says. "A year or so ago, back before I was out as an elite, actually I didn't know I was an elite then. Well, I met a guy at one of my shows, he was so charming and everything that we started going out. He was really a Pantheon member who could do mind control, which is actually pretty scary if you think about it. He used his powers on me to make me fall for him, and then he found out I was an Elite, so he made mego along and do stuff for him with my powers. The UNJE stopped us and freed me from him. Paragon told me I needed to go to Mudaba Adin, so I could learn how to use my powers to not hurt people, so I did."

"Somehow or other Neuro ended up dead, killed by Phase, another Pantheon agent. Neuro wasn't totally gone from my head, and after he died he started to try and get back in control so he'd have a body. After a lot of trouble I was able to get him completely out of my head, but he just went nuts, or maybe he was already nuts because he started stalking me. He took over my mom's mind and made her kill my dad. He told me that he was going to kill everyone I cared about just so that he'd be the only one left for me and that I'd have to love him." the blonde explained, looking particularly young but more determined then scared.

"I almost died fighting him, but my friends on Legacy were able to show up, and with Tommy's help they were able to free my mom from him. That was about a day ago, I think, everything is kinda happening so fast. Right now I have power lag, sort of like Jet lag, but worse. Two days ago, er whenever that huge hurricane was happening in Mudaba Adin, I was there trying to stop it with my powers with the rest of Legacy, and in the space of a heartbeat, I found a new power, and was teleported, er weather-ported I suppouse, across the world to our Garden in Massachussets. I got there just in time to see my dad die. Would you believe that this morning within the space of 20 minutes I went from the Institute in Africa to Milan and now here in London?." she asks with a sigh. The girl stands from the chair that she had sat in and walks over to the window, looking out solemnly with her hands clasped behind her back.

"As horrible as what happened to my dad is, its really only horrible on a personal level, I doubt it'll personally affect many people. The other part of what I have to say does...er I'm sorry about the weather...my powers affect the weather and they are closely linked to my emotions...right now, I just can't really seem to control either very well, I'm sorry." she apologizes as light flurries of snow begin to come down.

"The important thing that everyone should know about elites, is that we were created for a reason. a brilliant geneticist needed an army, so she created a virus that would change people, would give them powers. That geneticist was Cardinal. This may be a little hard to believe, but there are other earths out there, and there are beings that are the embodiments of ideas. Legacy has crossed paths with a few of them, notably one who likes the appearance of a young kid, and causing everyone problems just because he is the embodiment of Chaos. They also ran into Chrono, and into one last one that was a real doozy, he used to be the eternal known as Order but now he goes by the name of Overseer."

"Order on its own can be a good thing, laws are good, they protect people. But someone who's whole existance is as the embodiment of Order takes it to extremes. Freedoms, the freedom to choose what to do, what to say, these bring chaos, and are Anathema to him. He wanted to impose complete order on the multiverse, meaning death which is perfectly orderly, or slavery, but not a nice person either way. Chaos and the other Eternals took offense to that and stripped him of a lot of his powers, but his power couldn't be destroyed, I have no clue why, I'm not a scientist. Instead his power found a new host, it found Cardinal. Since he wants his power back so he can get all dictatorish on the multiverse, Cardinal got scared being as she has part of it, Ryan from Legacy has the other half of the power. At any rate, she didn't want to be a snack for mister powermad wannabe god so she made us Elites to be her army to oppose him. She isn't a nice person, definitely not, but she created us Elites for a good reason, to stop him from getting back his power and enslaving everyone."

"Thats it, the bare bones. A big bad is coming to eat Cardinal and Ryan, and then he'll use that power to enslave or kill every living thing. We Elites were given our powers to protect the world from him. That is our purpouse. All the fighting between Pantheon and the UNJE is just to get all of us experience before the real fight begins." Kelly says turning back to face the camera. She'd been talking loud enough for modern equipment to catch, but the turning to the camera was her flair for the theatrical. "It wasn't Pantheon or Bishop that destroyed Mexico city, it was Overseer's prelude to destruction. It was the misfiring of a device that would have connected our earth to Overseer's. When Legacy and I disappeared for those 3 months last fall, we were on that earth, taken there by Chrono. The way their scientist who explained the destruction of Mexico city to us worded it was that the device caused both Mexico cities to briefly coexist in the same space and time causing them to both disappear. Overseer already has agents here in our world, a red and black reptile looking guy who goes by the name of Genocide, and a woman known as Red Witch who was responsible for the Hurricane in Mudaba Adin."

"I am not sure what to think about that," Chance replies.

“Well I think you hit that right on the head,” she twirls wearing an elegant red dress, “Not something I could wear every day, but definitely nice. I will take this one for those nice moments. Bring out some jeans and shirts,” she says to the hostess.

Chance turns back to Cassie, “Babbling? Probably but I am listening. She starts removing the dress, “So what do you think you are going to do, sister?”

Legacy

Kiyana adds, “You got it Mark, I can keep him handled, you can depend on me.”

James coughs as he speaks, “I can get you guys *cough* inside with ease.”

Kelly

Rachel listens and does not interrupt Kelly at all. She nods giving Kelly’s monologue a long pause before replying, “That is an incredible story; quite incredible,” the British woman replies.

“As incredible as it sounds, we will need some proof to back up some of these claims. But we can definitely air some of this, this is powerful Kelly. Simply powerful, but why do you believe that Cardinal created elites? And tell me more about this Overseer, you said he or it is a being that is a expression of the idea of Order… and these alternate Earths. I definitely want to know more about this…”

“And Mexico City, are you saying that its destruction is not the cause of Bishop, or Pantheon as a whole? This is in direct contrast with the investigation findings of the UNJE…” Rachel adds.

She speaks into the air, “Helen, hold my calls. Also pass on this footage to Productions and get them started on it right away.” She focuses back on Kelly, “Kelly I want to understand, so please tell me more.”
