Kelly

Esther blinks, “Is everything okay? That did not seem to be the response you were looking for?”

The sheriff arrives; a large man of Hispanic descent. He is thickly built with a well pressed uniform. He grimaces looking at Kelly, “Alright Kelly is it? Wait are you that Kelly Mitchell girl, the Pantheon sympathizer?”

The man sighs, “Sheriff Ortiz, tell me what happened.”

Anika

“Well I know they won’t hurt you, but still I just want you to be careful. It seems like if things can go bad around here they can…” he replies still speaking his native tongue. He pauses briefly, “Well good luck… okay?”

He puts a hand on ‘her’ shoulder, “Just don’t tempt fate.”

 

[KentArnold]

“Whoa… whoa… whoa… no, I have never done something as crazy as that on purpose. I rather not tempt fate until I absolutely have to. I got better things to do with my time,” she smirks.

“So what are these feelings you need to sort out with Jean?” Aya asks.

She grinned, "It's easier when its part of your body, and not external. I know how fast I can pull out of a dive. Though I still love freefall, it's safe, and ... there is something relaxing about it."

She paused at her question about Jean, "She ... she was the one there when my powers first manifested. She was probably the only thing that kept me sane those first three months afterwards. We're about five years apart, but still ..."

She sighed, "It's complex. We live in different worlds. I just have to learn how to deal with that."

She chuckled, "I'm sure if Gilden knew a way, he already would have pulled you aside and discussed it and or attempted it. Just wish I could get my hands around Chaos' throat and throttle him for an answer as to why he did this. I so do not look forward to a shower. I seriously doubt he'd leave us like this forever. At least I hope not anyway."

“If he likes football then we can definitely get along,” Kal replies, “and a cop? Man I can work with this, I mean I am in law enforcement too… sort of… well in another Universe.”

"In a way, you're still in law enforcement," Karen says, "Maybe it's not official, but we still kick bad guy butt," she smiles at him, "I think you're gonna get along fine with dad. So I guess we'll go see Olympic City ... it's called San Francisco here, and Chicago? Maybe we could make it a roadtrip? A few days ... and nights, work on that little bug should have it roadworthy, if I can get Gadget's help."

“Well I know they won’t hurt you, but still I just want you to be careful. It seems like if things can go bad around here they can…” he replies still speaking his native tongue. He pauses briefly, “Well good luck… okay?”

He puts a hand on ‘her’ shoulder, “Just don’t tempt fate.”

"Today's mission will be a heck of a lot more risky," Anika/Mark thinks, but doesn't say. "Of course not. If I thought it was extremely dangerous, I wouldn't bother. I could learn so much though, I've gotta try. I should get back with the others, I guess. I'll look for you when we get back to get something to eat." She instinctively starts leaning forward for a kiss, but stops, pauses, and instead grabs his hand and shakes it, laughing. "See you in a little bit," she says taking off for Mark's room.

 

[Hammerhead]

"Hey, everyone," Ryan says, raising his voice so he is clearly audible to everyone in the room. "Looks like we're done playing around. Everyone ready to leave this place and head out to the main event?"

Esther blinks, “Is everything okay? That did not seem to be the response you were looking for?”

The sheriff arrives; a large man of Hispanic descent. He is thickly built with a well pressed uniform. He grimaces looking at Kelly, “Alright Kelly is it? Wait are you that Kelly Mitchell girl, the Pantheon sympathizer?”

The man sighs, “Sheriff Ortiz, tell me what happened.”

"Paragon, he said that he couldn't help...that the UNJE can't do anything." Kelly tells Esther sounding surprised and more then a little hurt. "He said he'd call American Freedom though." she might have said more, or not, but she was interrupted by the arrival of the sheriff and his insinuation that she was a Pantheon sympathizer.

Sobbing the girl looked up at him, "Why wont anyone believe me when I say I hate Pantheon?" she asks almost hysterically, she pulls down on the collar of her shirt exposing a good deal of cleavage as well as the two scars from Phase's pistols. "Do you see these? This is from where a Pantheon Assassin shot and almost killed me." she says, releasing the wet cotton and pointing to the burn scars on her face. "This is from when I tried to stop Metatron from killing that Senator guy. I fell almost 200 feet before Statesman caught me." she says defensivley before her voice turns bitter. "What do I have to do before people will believe me that I hate them and want them stopped? Do they have to kill me first?" Kelly asks, tears streaming down her face. After a few moments of sobbing Kelly calmed down enough to tell the sheriff what had happened.

"I was in the hospital in New York City with Mom and Tommy, my boyfriend. The doctors wanted to keep me in the hospital overnight for observation because of the burns and almost dying from what Metatron did. We were all sleeping, mom and Tommy because of the jet leg, and me because I was hurt and the anesthisia that they used, or maybe it was the pain killers, I don't know, normally I don't sleep at all...well, we woke up because someone was coming into the room, but this gas thing went off and it knocked Tommy and me out...I guess it maybe knocked mom out too, I don't know, I was out before she was. "

"The man that came into the room was scared really bad and he seemed to know mom, he called her by her first name and said welcome back to CHIMERA, whatever that is. He had a really bad burn scar on the whole left side of his face. When I woke up, I was in a cell, it was really creepy, it was padded and one wall was a huge mirror. I was wearing some kind of gown instead of the clothes I had been wearing at the hospital, and there was a metal collar around my neck that made my powers not work. After I woke up that scared doctor guy, or whatever he was came into the room and told me he wanted to make my mom do something for him and that he was gonna use my blood to help her do it. It was really really creepy."

"After a little while I heard that hissing gas sound again and I passed out, and when I woke up I was lying in a field somewhere around here. I looked around for mom and Tommy, but I couldn't find them anywhere, and it didn't sound like they were going to want to let mom go. I saw the lights and I came here, and then they called for you to come." Kelly told the sheriff, working her thumb around and looking at the healing wound on it. It hadn't been life-threatening, at least with the nanites, but it had been a lot of blood, and a really really dumb idea.

Sami smiles, “I will be here,” he pauses hesitantly and then says, “Just come back safe, and hopefully in your original body.”

“Things are odd enough as is,” he smiles, “but nothing that I can’t get used to… but… well I watched that interview with Kelly and she said some disturbing things… and now I see people saying that elites have a disease? Is that true, Ani?”

Kelly

Sheriff Ortiz takes notes and nods at the end. “Okay calm down, I don’t care what you believe or what you do, and I will put out a bulletin based on the description of your assailant.”

He puts his fingers to a small ear bud and speaks, ordering an immediate search of the area for Kelly’s attacker. “I am going to report this into the Federals, this sounds a little bit beyond the capabilities of my department. But I need you to try to remain calm and give me accurate descriptions of your mother and your boyfriend.”

“If you want I can transport you to the station-,” the Sheriff says.

Esther interrupts, “I think not! She is no criminal, Sheriff. This girl has been through an ordeal.”

“This case is going to be high profile, this is Kelly Mitchell. I don’t think you will be prepared for the circus to come,” the Sheriff sighs.

Esther looks at Kelly, “Well this poor girl needs someone.”

Karen

“Road trip, hey if it gets me out of here, I am all for it,” Kal replies, “this place is great and all, but not that great. I am not complaining, just like to get out, every now and then. And this time we can leave the kids at home,” he gestures to Tim with a grin.

Sami smiles, “I will be here,” he pauses hesitantly and then says, “Just come back safe, and hopefully in your original body.”

“Things are odd enough as is,” he smiles, “but nothing that I can’t get used to… but… well I watched that interview with Kelly and she said some disturbing things… and now I see people saying that elites have a disease? Is that true, Ani?”

Okay, we can put off the zooming away...

"A disease...um, I'm not sure I'd call it that. I don't think there are very many people that know what the actual truth is, but there's been a lot of speculation. Kelly sure didn't help things...that girl is causing more problems than she set out to solve," Anika/Mark responds.

"Look, I should get going. Wouldn't it be ironic if I was late for the mission," she tells Sami with a smile, before heading for Mark's room.

She sighed, "It's complex. We live in different worlds. I just have to learn how to deal with that."

"So you want this girl to be your girlfriend?" Aya asks.

She chuckled, "I'm sure if Gilden knew a way, he already would have pulled you aside and discussed it and or attempted it. Just wish I could get my hands around Chaos' throat and throttle him for an answer as to why he did this. I so do not look forward to a shower. I seriously doubt he'd leave us like this forever. At least I hope not anyway."

"Yeah, I am not too thrilled about you having my body either. You should be excited to hit the showers though, I have a delicious body that looks good in everything... and nothing," she winks.

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly sighs when the sheriff tells her to calm down and then puts the word out for a search of the area for her attacker. "I don't think your gonna find him like that. Project CHIMERA is really organized, or at least they seemed it. I mean they came into a hospital and kidnapped 3 elites, and they had equipment to nullify powers." she says in agreement with his assessment that this was a bit beyond what he and his people were capable of dealing with.

"Umm...my mom's picture is on the Mitchell Foundation Website, and its all over the web...would that work for a description? Descriptions can be vague, but well a picture... Same thing for Tommy...Tommy McCain. He's the CEO and owner of McCain industries. I know he has his picture all over too, but if you want descriptions too, I can do that." she says, giving him her mom's description as well as Tommy's. Even if it hadn't been about ELites, it definitely would have been kicked up the food chain, both Tommy and her mother were the owners of multi-billion dollar businesses.

"I'll...I'll go with you to the station, if it'll help you find my mom and Tommy. I'll do anything to get them back, just find them for me, please." Kelly says making a heartfelt plea.
