Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

Anika, not very hungry, nibbles on some apple slices, lost in her thoughts until she hears the newscast. She glares at the monitor. "Stupid Legion. How the hell are we supposed to get rid of him?" Looking away in disgust, she shakes her head in annoyance and takes another bite of apple.

"Verona, eh? Sounds like they might be the lucky ones...but why would a media blackout be set up? It sounds like a win for the good guys, at least at first glance. I'll get there as soon as I can...hey, pilot guy," Ryan calls out, muffling the receiver on the phone, "What's the ETA to the Institute? And how fast are we going right now?"

"I wonder what Legion's next move is...truth is, he seems more cunning than clever. Like a rabid wolf. I doubt he wants it handled through official channels, since that would risk his main objective: Kelly."

“I just need some rest and some time for my body to recover,” he leans back, “Just having you here is a breath of fresh air. I am more concerned with what happened to you, did everything go okay with Cassie and Kelly… are they here too?”

"I'm so glad you're gonna be fine," Karen smiles, "We saved Kelly, she's on her way back to the institute with Cassie and Ryan. But we lost Chance, she's gone really evil on us. We were ambushed by the DEA when we found Kelly, they were controlled by Legion. I don't think they even knew what they were doing but Chance just killed them all... We could have just fled to Canada, they wouldn't have been able to follow us anyway. She disappeared across the border, we couldn't stop her," she sighs, "Mr Smith came to pick us up together with a Tommy clone."

An automated nurse automaton enters the room to check Kal while the two speak. He glances at it and then turns to Karen, “So you want to get out of here?”

She glances at the nursebot as well, she'd never liked hospitals and especially those automatons, they made everything so cold and impersonal, "Only if you're up to it, do you think you can walk? Nurse? When will he be released?"
 

"How come nothing good ever happens? All that ever happens is things from bad to worse. Legion was in my head, then when I got him out, when it was just me in there he started taking over everyone else. He kills my dad, then he starts slaughtering people to try and get at me. Forget the fact that things with Overseer are just getting worse and worse all the time, and now the world is going to end, maybe because Legacy fought Genocide, and that because of me."

"Nothing ever gets better. After Overseer its gonna be some intergallactic sentient blender thats in a snit about being set to puree or something, and after that it'll be something else, and then another thing, and another. Maybewe should just let proxy do what he wants? Why even bother to try and stop him?"

Tommy’s clone replies to Kelly, “Why not give up? Because it is the human spirit to do anything but give up, humanity and by that extension elites have a tenacious spirit and drive to survive. Giving up is just not something that one can do easily. If people can see any means for their survival they will flock to it.”

He turns back to his work, “If Tommy simply wanted to give up he would not have created me, it seems obvious to me that if you love him as much as you claim then you would live for him and do everything you can to survive. He certainly would do the same for you, present circumstances notwithstanding.”

Jun Min replies to Ryan, “I am not sure on the why for the media blackout, most likely in response to the Kelly fiasco they want tighter control on what information gets out. Just makes things more complicated.”

The pilot response, “Sir we are forty-seven minutes from landing, is there an emergency?”

Karen

Kal shrugs, “Sounds like your adventure was just as eventful as ours. Much more than mine, and me being fine? I have been through worse than this, though never had my body switched… that was a new one. But,” he eases out of bed with a groan, “let's get some fresh air.”

The automated nurse speaks, “Sir you should stay in bed you have sustained several serious injuries.”

Kal waves it off, “Can it, I am taking a walk with my girl… Karen a little help here,” s he attempts to stand up.

Back in Verona

Tina glances up Anika, “What is this about Legion, stick girl? Don’t tell me that freak is behind that,” she gestures to the monitor, “I thought we took him out back at the underwater wonder world… the last time Kelly went on the run.”

Karen gives him a dubious look as he tries to stand up, "Are you sure you should already get up?" despite her protest she moves to support him as he tries to get up, "I'll bring him back safe and sound," she tells the nurse, "If it turns out it's right, I'm gonna tie you to that bed myself," she whispers to Kal.

"Trust me, it looks worse then it really is," he says leaning on Karen for support. He glances over his shoulder at the nurse, "Besides I need a friendly face and some fresh air. I feel like a million bucks just looking at you."
 

Cassie looks up from where she is looking out the window. "Tommy.. or whatever, is your counterpart ready to replace my Aerodyne? I think I'll be in need of one fairly soon. I doubt that I'll be allowed to engage in any recovery attempts the UNJE will make towards Chance."

Anika rolls her eyes. "Is she opening her mouth again? Why?" she thinks sarcastically. "You really are as dumb as you look. Legion can exist in a whole bunch of different bodies now. Killing one, or even a bunch, isn't going to stop him," she adds aloud, also sarcastically, before rolling her eyes and taking another bite of her apple.
 

"To keep going no matter what, people need to have hope. I don't know if its losing my soul to a demon, my dad being murdered, almost dying a half dozen times, my mom and Tommy being kidnapped, or if its Neuro followed by Overseer followed by Neuro followed by Cardinal followed by Overseer and then Proxy but I just can't keep this up anymore. I'm out of hope." the blonde girl says flatly.

"I'm not gonna kill myself or anything, I just don't see what the point of everything is when its just one thing after another. Look at how close we are always coming, if not for Ryan I'd already be dead many times over."
