Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

[Shalimar]

Kelly looks scared when nothing happens when she tries to use her powers. "Whats wrong with my...?" Kelly asks before the explination is offered. "I really don't like that explination. Why is stopping me from using my powers in my best interests? Its not like I would hurt myself with them, if thats what you guys were worried about." Kelly tells the voice wide-eyed.

"Umm...no offense meant since offending the bad guys isn't really always the best idea, but really, shouldn't you know that before you came to the hospital for me? Umm...I have a question. If you turned off the nanites and the nanites are what keeps elites from going kabloey because of the changes to their bodies, does that mean I am going to go kabloey? Cause going kabloey seems to be very much not good for anyone's well being." the girl says, rambling in her nervousness.

“Interesting assessment,” the voice replies, “you have answered our question.”

The door slides open and two individuals walk in. The harsh lighting blinds Kelly for a moment. One leaves a tray by the door and then leaves the door closing. As she blinks again she gets a good look at the hideous visage o the man standing before her in a dark suit with a matching long dark coat.

His face though on the right side is burned horribly, the skin pulled tightly over his skull. The right eye is paler then the other but it follows Kelly’s movements just the same. His hideous visage is impassive observing her features before finally speaking, “Kelly Mitchell, you were not easy to track down. It was fortuitous that you came to New York when you did, or else we may have never crossed paths. I must apologize, we had no intention of taking you captive, it was your mother that we were after.”

He looks down, “You are correct; the inert nanites in your body may induce a chain reaction that could end in your demise. All the more reason for you to cooperate, yes?”

Kelly blinks and backs away from the door with the flash of light, and the entrance of the hideous man from back at the hospital. After her eyes readjust to the light, they widen in surprise as she finally gets a good look at her captor's face. "Hey, uh, are you ok? That looks like it hurts." the girls asks.

"Its not really fortuitous, I mean being taken prisoner isn't a really good thing to be after all." the popstar admonishes. "If you didn't want to come after me and capture me, why did you? Kidnapping is bad, but accidental kidnapping is just kind of sloppy." Kelly tells him, sounding like she believed her telling him should have been enough reason to release her and give her an apology.

"Why do you want my mom? And what exaclty do you want me to cooperate with you to do? Its not like there haven't been elites around for the last 15 years for you to study, so whats really up?" Kelly asks curiously, wanting to understand why the man was breaking the law to try and get her and her mom.

"I assure you Kelly, I am fine," the Doctor admonishes.

Kelly tells him, sounding like she believed her telling him should have been enough reason to release her and give her an apology.

“Your presence here assures your mother’s compliance, “ the disfigured man replies, “it is a bloody reality that often times you must sacrifice something to gain something else.”

"Why do you want my mom? And what exaclty do you want me to cooperate with you to do? Its not like there haven't been elites around for the last 15 years for you to study, so whats really up?" Kelly asks curiously, wanting to understand why the man was breaking the law to try and get her and her mom.

“I suppose there is little harm. I want your mother to continue her work, assist me in completing a great work. The first generation was flawed, too random, but with her help, your blood, and my resources then we can finish what we began all those years ago,” the Doctor answers.

“Plus if your mother is as brilliant as I believe she is, then your blood samples should prove to be much more interesting then you can possibly imagine,” the man finishes.

"Ok, now I am totally lost. Why do you want me to cooperate? It doesn't sound like you actually want anything from me at all. Well, I guess if you want myblood, its on the collar, so feel free to take that and go. Collars and leashes and stuff are all icky, and not my thing. Not really good for accessorizing with." Kelly tells the doctor.

"Whats so special about my blood anyway, I'm an elite like any other elite, right? I mean I know mom made the nanites that make elites healthier, but what exactly do you want her to do? Make better elites? Whats wrong with the way we are now?"

"I wouldn't say she's perfect Ryan, but you got to watch with the psychotic comments. I don't see her tearing people in half." He snaps back. "You know why I tried so hard with you? Cause It hought you could be like Paragon..a symbol for what Elites SHOULD stand for."

"That was one guy, and it was more of a kick than a tear. I'm authorized to use lethal force when the situation calls for it, and trying to nerve gas an entire city certainly called for it. I bet that if I would have killed him in a cleaner way, no one would have given a damn."

"Did you just compare me to Paragon? That's low, even for you. But as fun as this may be, I think the whole end of the world scenario we were discussing previously is a little more interesting and important. So if you don't mind, why is you being the reincarnation of some dead Eternal so important? And what's with the whole conspiracy to kill Overseer...because I've always thought of myself more as a knight than a pawn."

"Yet when I subdued a man who had managed several officers, you insulted and demeaned me." he retorts. "As for the comparison it was a compliment. I meant that you had the potential to be a leader of more than just the team. You stand there.. on the edge of things. You could be such a leader. That, more than anything else, is why you gained the power."

The Doctor nods, "Please enjoy the meal. Your stay with us will be brief."

He leaves.

Ryan/Anika rolls his eyes. "You put your hand...well, your old hand, through the guy's chest." What the hell did I say to her? It's hard to believe that was less than a week ago. Yoshi was still alive, Gilden and Anika were still dating, and the Dimension Squad hadn't shown up yet. Wow.

And when the hell did Cassie start complimenting me? And I think she might be preaching again. Red alert, shields up. Damn it, it's weird to talk to myself like this.

"Yeah, well, I'm not any kind of leader, I just have the drive to win. If you want some kind of leader, talk to Mark or Anika." Maybe you haven't noticed this, but among our peer group, I might just be the most despised person here. Hell, I might even beat out Kelly or Overseer. "Horrible things happen to thousands of people each and every day. You think me getting this power was some kind of larger plan? Orchestrated by whom?"

"Actually," Gilden/Kal retorts stopping his training Aya for a moment. "As far as I can tell it was happenstance, when Captain Comets powers were cast into the multiverse Ryan was in the right place at the right time, or the wrong place at the wrong time. Depending on your point of view." He shrugs slightly, "of course its just a theory I could be wrong."
