Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

[Shalimar]

Phase replies coolly, “Because your country believes you are a terrorist and wants you dead or worse, studied. You can take your chances with CHIMERA, or you can come with me now, no teleporting… the authorities have been tracking your movements using weather monitoring stations...”

“Everything I have said is true, at Bishop’s request I am to get you into hiding. Things are about to get bad Kelly. Real bad,” the assassin finishes.

"Could they possibly believe I am a terrorist because of you and Pantheon attacking people in my name?" Kelly asks sarcastically. "Besides, how would dad even get messages to you guys, and why would they want to study me? I'm just an elite, they have been studying us for what 10 years?" the blonde girl says with a sigh.

"I'm going to stay. If they are going to try and arrest me, then they'll try and arrest me. No offense but your the terrorist, so ummm..." the girl says trailing off with the idea that Phase's prescence and message were suspect. "Look, I trust mom and Tommy, if they say yes, I'll go, but I'm not really comfortable with this." the girl tells Phase.

"Could they possibly believe I am a terrorist because of you and Pantheon attacking people in my name?" Kelly asks sarcastically. "Besides, how would dad even get messages to you guys, and why would they want to study me? I'm just an elite, they have been studying us for what 10 years?" the blonde girl says with a sigh.

“I am only here on behalf of your father,” Phase replies, “You can take your chances with CHIMERA.”

"I'm going to stay. If they are going to try and arrest me, then they'll try and arrest me. No offense but your the terrorist, so ummm..." the girl says trailing off with the idea that Phase's prescence and message were suspect. "Look, I trust mom and Tommy, if they say yes, I'll go, but I'm not really comfortable with this." the girl tells Phase.

“None taken. I admit I don’t care but your father is a great man. But you have five minutes before this place is crawling with CHIMERA agents. They don’t care about your grand plan; they don’t care about your dedication to save humanity. All they care about is perfecting the process that Cardinal started. If you want to become one of their guinea pigs then stay,” she responds looking to the man who looks out the window.

“You have four minutes and twenty seconds,” she adds.

Tommy and her mother awaken just as surprised as Kelly. Tommy blinks, “What the hell… Phase… damn it… this is not good.”

 

[Shalimar]

"Mom, Tommy. Phase said that some guys called Chimera or something who work for the U.S. Government are coming here to arrest me for being a terrorist, and that they are going to study me and stuff. She said dad sent her here to get me away... should I go with her? I mean...she is sor of a terrorist herself." Kelly tells her mom and boyfriend quickly, not sounding very certain, and looking for some direction.

Before

Ryan says a prayer to Odin, waves his hands, then places his hand on Gilden/Kal's temple, willing his memories of the into Gilden's mind.

"Yes, I would say that is a problem." Gilden/Kal says bluntly. "I don't know what those entities are*, they may even be the Norse gods but they are connected to Anika in some way. It would seem that she conduit to this reality whenever she casts her spell and you don't." He pauses in thought for a minute.

"It would explain why she could cast spells when arcane knowledge is virtually non-existant. I wouldn't cast any non essential spells if I were you, either that or convert to her religion. Although they don't seem to be able to cross over I wouldn't aggrivate them more then needed. I don't need to remind you that these creatures may be exceedingly powerful, right?"

*assuming that he doesn't know anything about them

Now

Gilden/Kal approachs himself. "I take it you are having difficulties? You have to feel the magic, concentrate on it. The gestures are not need but they do help put you in the right frame of mind. Lets start with the defenses, in order to raise the force field position your hands like this, connect with the magic and flow it around you forming a sheild..."

Before

"Damn, I was hoping that with all that magic schooling you might have an inkling. They freaked me out, and I think we both know that those things weren't Odin and Thor conserving electricity. I don't like the idea of Anika getting her power from the dark beings of beyond. And yes, Gilden," Ryan says sarcastically, "I was able to figure out that people who can suck me through a portal and cause me to bleed on a whim are probably tougher than I am. For now," he adds with a smile.

Now

Ryan approaches Cassie/Ryan, the look on his face saying that the entire thing was probably hopeless. "So you want me to go through the options?"

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Some of the options I get.. like the strength and ability to throw up the force field ad how to channel power to heal or boost your strength." He says as he walks over some distance from the others. "Show me the rest, and ask your questions while we do it." He hoped that Ryan would give a little slack though he knew it would never happen now.

"Mom, Tommy. Phase said that some guys called Chimera or something who work for the U.S. Government are coming here to arrest me for being a terrorist, and that they are going to study me and stuff. She said dad sent her here to get me away... should I go with her? I mean...she is sor of a terrorist herself." Kelly tells her mom and boyfriend quickly, not sounding very certain, and looking for some direction.

Phase interjects, “Arresting you as a terrorist is a cover story; they really just want to add you to the program. You now have just over three minutes.”

Kelly’s mother nods, “I just don’t want my daughter be hurt.”

“She won’t be,” Phase replies.

Tommy scowls, “I don’t trust you, and I would have to say that going with them is a bad idea.”

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly looks back and forth between Tommy and her mom looking confused at whose advice she should listen to. "Well, why would they want to grab me, and not Tommy or mom? What makes me any different from any other elite? There are tons and tons of elites in this country, and elites have been around almost 15 years, isn't that plenty of time to have studied us?" Kelly asks the trio of people that were trying to influence her decision.

"Right now I'm perfectly fine, so I'm ok to leave, and thats what I'm going to do. Not with you, but with Tommy and Mom. If after we leave we find out that the CHIMERA people or whatever showed up, then you were right. If not, then you were wrong, but I guess being cautious doesn't hurt, right?" Kelly asks. She sits up and pulls on the slippers by the foot of her bed. "If anyone asks, I didn't feel it was safe to stay here since I'm better, and Pantheon might come after me here after what I said to Metatron, and his you are a traitor speech."

Anika/Mark noded at Ryan/Anika as he left and turned to see evryone had made their way in. Spotting Mark/Karen, she zips over to him and asks with a grin, "Hey, Red. Any nuggets of wisdom aout these powers of yours you wanna share?"

"If you charge the gloves with speed, it only takes one or two jabs to last a day or so. If you don't, you'll be pumping the things for hours. When you run up walls, don't slow down. Push away from the wall as you go up to get traction. You'll want to crouch into it but that kills the momentum," Mark/Karen shrugged. "Really it's pretty easy. Just watch where you're going."

“I don’t know I only know what I have been told,” Phase replies.

"Right now I'm perfectly fine, so I'm ok to leave, and thats what I'm going to do. Not with you, but with Tommy and Mom.

"Suit yourself," she turns ghostly, and floats upwards.

The man leaps through the window.

Tommy makes a Fortitude save and rolls an 8, he fails. Kismet rolls a Fortitude save and gets a 12, she uses her Luck and gets a 24 total and succeeds. Kelly rolls a Fortitude save and gets a 19 she fails.

Tommy nods, “Good de…” he collapses. Before Kelly can act she collapses as well. Her mother is able to escape the worst effects of the gas, stumbling towards the window. But she turns and sees a black craft floating outside the window, unmarked and silent.

The door flies open and soldiers waltz in weapons at the ready. Equally silent and dark, she blinks as they raise their weapons at her. A man walks in wearing a long coat, part of his face is scarred and burned horribly, “Welcome back to CHIMERA, Sheila…”

Later

Kelly wakes up in a padded room, wearing only a white gown with a collar around her neck. There is a wall size mirror on one side of the room opposite a door. She is alone and the light is bright.
