Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

Anika/Mark gives Mark/Karen a look. "Um, you do remember who you're talking to? Besides, we didn't fight at all back then, not until the end, anyway. And it ain't going to happen. Ryan really doesn't like her very much and I don't think Cassie really respects him, at least not any more."

Mark shrugged, "You brought it up, so I figured you were ok talking about it. Sorry. I don't think it would work out either, but I don't get why else Cassie would be showing so much interest. Not that I'm any expert on Cassie, or women. I don't really get Star sometimes and I know her better than anybody."

"Hey Karen," Anika/Marks says. "Oh, so Gadget's in Tina's body...and Gilden's in Kal's?" She shakes her head. "This is confusing. Anyway, my point remains. Gadget's power is her smarts. Kal's going to have to stay here...Kal is in Gadget's body, right? And if Gadget comes with to use Tina's powers, she won't be running things back here. No offense to your guy, Karen, but I don't think he's up to taking her place. None of us would be."

She shrugs. "It's not too big a loss to overcome though, I don't think." She looks over at the trio speaking with each other. "So that's Gilden talking with Ryan and Cassie? Huh," she says, wondering what the topic could be.

 

[Samnell]

Karen stops her most recent bout of exercises near herself and Anika/Mark, beads of sweat forming on her forehead and breathing heavily from exertion, she was pushing Cassie's body pretty hard, "Actually Gilden's camping in my boyfriend's body and I think Gadget's in Tina's body."

"I hope this gets fixed fast, or we're all going to need name tags."

She looks a bit puzzled at Cassie and Ryan, "I'm not sure what Cassie wants with Ryan but I think..." she hesitates for a second looking at Mark's body, "Anika's right," she shrugs, "So how are you feeling?" she asks Mark/Karen, she had to admit she looked a little silly in Kal's oversized shirts.

Mark/Karen flexed his crystalline arms a few times, "I think I have the big parts down." The parts I'm not missing, anyway. "But I'd be a lot happier if we were all back in our own bodies...not that it isn't just fine in here but I had a lot of time to get used to my body and break it in..." Mostly break. "Are you doing ok, uh, in there?"

Mark shrugged, "You brought it up, so I figured you were ok talking about it. Sorry. I don't think it would work out either, but I don't get why else Cassie would be showing so much interest. Not that I'm any expert on Cassie, or women. I don't really get Star sometimes and I know her better than anybody."

"Pfff," Anika waves her hand dismissively at Mark. "I knew what you meant, I was just kidding," she says with a smile. Her expression then turns to shock. "You're not an expert on women? I would never have guessed!" she teases with a sideways glance to Karen.

 

[Agamon]

"Are you doing ok, uh, in there?"

"Yeah," Anika agrees. "Those were some nice moves you were pulling off. Seems like you got used to being more nimble pretty fast."

"Pfff," Anika waves her hand dismissively at Mark. "I knew what you meant, I was just kidding," she says with a smile. Her expression then turns to shock. "You're not an expert on women? I would never have guessed!" she teases with a sideways glance to Karen.

Mark/Karen laughed, "I only play a woman on life-threatening missions to stop interdimensional generals!"

 

[Aenion]

"Yeah," Anika agrees. "Those were some nice moves you were pulling off. Seems like you got used to being more nimble pretty fast."

"Uhm ... thanks," Karen replies, whiping the sweat from her brow, "It's kinda fun to be able to do this," she beams, "I always liked gymnastics, just never got a chance to really train at it," she explains while she tries to control her breathing, "I was pretty much blind without my glasses and ... well ... I had this mild heart-condition..." she smiles wryly, she grins at Mark, "Don't worry, I think it healed when my heart stopped beating for four months."

She giggles at Mark, "Don't get too used to it, I'm gonna want my body back soon."

The Black Room

Tina floats towards Ryan and Cassie, “So what are we talking about over here? Seems pretty interesting that Cassie is actually spending time talking to my man after swearing up and down that she could not stand him… but then again I always thought you were a freak.”

Tina cocks her, well Tim’s head, “Besides if you are the beacon of Hope around here we are all doomed.”

Gadget punches stuff laughing, “Wow this is soooo cool. I mean I can actually break stuff, well I could before but this is amazing. Oh… but poor Kal, he is stuck in my not so strong body.”

Kelly

Behind the Mirror

“Do you think she is really important Doctor?” the male assistant asks the disfigured Doctor.

“Perhaps, perhaps not but she is worth more to us alive then dead, and we don’t need her here in the project. We have her blood samples, we have her mother and perhaps more importantly Tommy McKain. Prepare her for extraction, she is no longer useful, we can track her at our leisure,” the Doctor replies.

Other side of the Mirror

There is silence for a long moment. Then she hears the sound of gas… and then there is blackness.

When she wakes up she is lying in the ground, snow covers the ground and there are trees all around. She is alone and it is dark, there is no collar on her neck, and she is clothes in the clothes she was wearing before she was abducted.

Aya nods, “Just take it easy, you wear the body suit, and it interfaces with the armor and then from there you are golden. It can enhance your strength, improve your senses; and well obviously give you powered flight.”

She shrugs, “It is easy, point and click for the cannon, and the armor should offer a high level of protection from the elements, small arms fire, and well anything else that wants a piece of my beautiful body. Try not to get it too damaged, without that suit you will be very vulnerable, just a normal human and all.”

She chuckled a bit and listened to what she had to say, "Well ... for the most part, I'm a normal human as well. I mean, without my telekinetic abilities, I'm little more than a cripple in a wheelchair that is resistant to a variety of things and I heal faster. That's about all."

She sighed, "In ways ... this reminds me of back before ... its not easy. It brings back memories."

She shook her head, trying to shove aside old, and obviously unpleasant memories.

"I'm trying to be more social Aya. Believe me, it's just ... I'm not ... good with people. Even if this was just a joke of Chaos', it's having some good effects. It's forcing me to interact."

She frowned, "This is between you, me, and the wall. A number of the scars on my body are ... " she lowers her voice, "self inflicted. But I don't do that anymore. I'm trying to cope. It's not easy."

She forced a smile, but its obvious she's not comfortable interacting like this, "No time to worry about that. I've got bigger fish to fry. And don't worry, I don't have a death wish or anything. I want to be back in my body as much as anyone. Besides ..."

There is a hard look in her eyes, "I made Jean a promise. And someone is going to make me carry through on it. May the gods have mercy on him, for I certainly won't."

"Well that would make you more then an ordinary human, right?" Aya replies.

"I'm trying to be more social Aya. Believe me, it's just ... I'm not ... good with people. Even if this was just a joke of Chaos', it's having some good effects. It's forcing me to interact."

"I can agree there, on both accounts," she smirks.

She frowned, "This is between you, me, and the wall. A number of the scars on my body are ... " she lowers her voice, "self inflicted. But I don't do that anymore. I'm trying to cope. It's not easy."

Aya looks away warily... "Okay... good."

She forced a smile, but its obvious she's not comfortable interacting like this, "No time to worry about that. I've got bigger fish to fry. And don't worry, I don't have a death wish or anything. I want to be back in my body as much as anyone. Besides ..."

Aya nods, "I like my body so yeah... that makes me feel better."

There is a hard look in her eyes, "I made Jean a promise. And someone is going to make me carry through on it. May the gods have mercy on him, for I certainly won't."

Aya nods, "Okay... well I hope that works out for you, let's stay focused on not getting killed by Genocide."
