Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

"And me being the clueless one who doesn't get it? Does that make me not human?"

“You sell yourself short sister, you are not clueless, if you were clueless then you would be making more mistakes then Kelly. You don’t understand people because you choose not to, most likely because deep down people scare you. So you feign this wall of ignorance to distance yourself. Human interaction is not complex, no more complex then any other sentient being. Your problem is purely in your head,” Chance replies.

“Besides you are no more human then Overseer… although it may appear to lesser that we are human in appearance,” Chance shrugs, “but being human is overrated.”

"How can you be sure, they studied me.. us, enough." Cassie says calmly. "Do you think we ARE the reincarnation of an Eternal?"

Chance shrugs and walks away.

Chance shrugs and walks away.

"Chance.. I'm sorry.. I push things, but I worry what the authroities will do to us. Particularly if we win in the end and survive. We'll be superfulious then. But enough of fears, got any ideas on how we can contact the others for pick up?"

"Why don't you guys want to leave me behind? I keep making mistakes that hurt everyone. I could make another mistake and hurt you guys too. I don't understand." Kelly says, sounding confused. She looks back and forth between Ryan, Cassie and Chance.

"Why would Chaos do that? Wait, what exactly did he do. He put all of you into the wrong bodies? Thats not good, do you think maybe he thought it would be funny or something? What about the mission to go after Genocide? If you guys are all here...does that mean the others are going after him by themselves? They shouldn't... I'm not worth it to go after him when they are really at their best and are missing Ryan." Kelly says sounding even more distressed.

Karen nods at Cassie/Ryan and takes a seat next to Kelly, "Kelly you're my friend, but it's time you started taking responsibility for your mistakes instead of running away from them. We're gonna work this out together, ok?" Karen asks compassionately, but there's a hint of frustration in her voice, "We're gonna go back to the institute, you're gonna talk to Paragon and apologize for what you did. Then we're gonna ask him to contact American Freedom and we'll work with them to save your mom and Tommy, ok? It's gonna be a first step to everyone working together like they should."

"I guess the others are gonna have to fight Genocide without us. But they can do it, it just would have been a lot easier with us and with you there," she says, But you should have thought of that before you ran off to Milan and London, she wanted to add, she wanted to add so many things right now. Why did she run off to Milan the day after she was nearly killed? Why did she talk to CNN? Why did she try to run off without telling anyone she did? How does she expect everyone to work together, if she can't work with Paragon? So many questions she wanted to ask her friend in frustration, but she knew they wouldn't solve anything.

She gets out her cellphone, Timothy's outburst the day before had taught her to keep it with her ... in working condition, and tries to call mr. Kincaid, the only teacher whose number she had, "I hope I can get a signal out here."

"They wont want me back there, Jun Min said I had to leave, that was why I left. All I wanted was for my dad not to be blamed for something he didn't do. He's my dad, you wouldn't want Mexico city blamed on your dad either, not if you knew he didn't have anything to do with it, would you? I just wanted everyone to know the truth...I didn't think the truth would hurt anyone, I thought that the truth would really shock everyone, and that getting the shock out of the way now instead of right when Overseer showed up would be a good thing, that less people would get hurt by it." Kelly explained sadly.

"They wouldn't have let me go to fight Genocide no matter what, they know how much of a mess that I am, how badly I screw everything up. I...I didn't know that there was someone out there that wanted to kidnap my mom. That they wanted her to make super-elites, or that they think I'm one or something. Not very much super about me." the girl says with a sigh.

"Uhh...we aren't very far from Canada up here, and Canada is part of the UN. We could just go there couldn't we? Uhh...nevermind, its probably another bad idea and it'll get people killed or something." Asks the Massachussets native.

Italy, two hours later…

The aerodyne comes in low over the water, it hovers briefly allowing the students/team members a chance to exit. Mr. McCallister drops out and stands under the gathering of trees as the aerodyne retreats to get refueled.

Mr. McCallister checks his watch, “Forty minutes until the window is closed, Aya you should start scouting the site.”

A map of the region is automatically uploaded into the teens communicators, the students who are not normally Legacy, have been issued some as well. Gadget begins sitting up her equipment as well.

Cassie

Chance pauses, “No.”

Then she is gone.

Karen & Kelly

The line rings once and then Mr. Kincaid answers, “Hello, Karen?”

Cassie sighs as he stands up and watches Chance walk out. The chair he was sitting on crumples into a ball as he grits his teeth. He couldn't even talk to his own twin without screwing up.

 

[Samnell]

"Ok, let's go earn our tights," Mark/Karen smiled before fading in the background and beginning his own scouting.

 

[Aenion]

"Shocking people is never a very good thing, it makes them do stuff they normally wouldn't ... Hello, Mr. Kincaid, could you patch me through to Paragon please? I-I'll explain later."
