Generation Legacy Issue #15

"But we could save everybody. It's worth a shot."

“We are in the business of saving lives, I don’t a see reason to at least not put further study in this area. The UNJE has a duty to pursue every avenue to save lives. Gilden you have our full support,” she pauses putting a hand to her ear.

“But I also agree that some caution be taken, you should not use this spell without the full consent of the UNJE, we can’t risk another disaster. Use every precaution from what I have read about the Red Witch she is nearly as dangerous as Cardinal, am I correct in that assessment?” Mrs. Obana asks.

Bishop replies, “Thank you, I appreciate it. I feel like there was still so much to say to her, and now, I wonder if I said enough. But I know that she is in a better place, and her legacy will live on. She never faltered in trying to do good.”

"No one here is a super hero, thank God. Although some people seem to think they are," Ryan adds, rolling his eyes. "But make no mistake, we're the people who win the wars. The Justice Elite was invaluable in overthrowing that one dictator guy. And believe me, no one worries that Tina is going to get her teammates hurt." Unless she's the one doing the hurting, of course. Although Tina wasn't the one who started that little brawl between herself and Anika.

"Sariyah," Ryan says, walking over to her. "I want you to pull the image of James from my head, then find him, if you can. He was kidnapped by Pantheon."

Clover didn't comment on Ryan's pronouncement that Elites were the ones to win wars, not soldiers. The boy had a major superiority complex going on, she wondered breifly if he subscribed to Pantheon's idea that having powers made people better, more important than everyone else before deciding probably not. The red head continued to listen as Tina and Ryan talked to Sariyah about finding their teammate wondering if the pair would go off half-cocked the second they knew where he was or whether they'd try and do things the right way by getting a team together with UN backing and support to rescue their teammate.

“I am a paradox,” Cardinal replies flatly.

"Please, explain." Cassie says. Cardianal was a paradox too? "Are you from the same timeline I was brought from?" She thinks on that a bit more, Cardinal was one of the few who could actually have the talent to create her.

"She's very dangerous and very manipulative. I wouldn't put it past her to 'let' Chaos take the book. But, then Chaos could have probably taken it whether she wanted him to or not," Anika says before thinking, "And now I think I know why we have Robbie with us."

She turns to Gilden. "Alright, I'll help you research the spell. Hopefully we'll be able to discover more about the specifics of it. While I can imagine the good we can do with it, I can't imagine how bad it could turn out. That's a bit scary."

“I will give you the best answer that I know of. I don’t know, I just know that my whole life I have known that I would leave a legacy of death behind me to create a better world from the ashes. The future was as clear to me now as I see you at this moment. But I knew that world that I create I cannot live in that world. I am a monster and there will be no place me in that world I create. The only thing I have not seen is success. But perhaps that is why I cannot see you or Ryan, or those that you have affected,” Cardinal replies.

“Each of you exists as blank spots in my vision, images outside my vision,” she sips her tea, “perhaps I was not meant to see you.”

Mark, Gilden, and Anika

“Then she is as dangerous as I have been lead to believe, she is a priority class alpha threat, just behind Cardinal and Bishop. Although Bishop won’t be a threat for too much longer. The UNJE is ratifying the paperwork for his execution, followed by a total crackdown on Pantheon cells and sympathizers,” Mrs. Obana says in controlled tone.

“Oh and the UNJE will require daily updates on your progress Gilden, we want this to be your top priority. Is there anything else we should know at this time?” she asks. She then smiles, “Of course all spells and/or technologies that you create will be the exclusive property of the UNJE, but you will be properly compensated of course.”

"What? Bishop is being executed?" Anika stares slack-jawed at the UN executive. "I understand that he needs to be held responsible for what he did as a member of Pantheon, but he had nothing to do with this. He realized Cardinal was crazy and left Pantheon. In fact, he's helped us in our last couple of missions. Why the hell is he being executed?"

"I see. Are you assuming that I create a simular gap in perception to Overseer and the others?" She wonders about that. This must be another factor of her paradox condition and Ryan's must...she thougth on that a bit, trying to see how it could happen. She recalled somethig Ryan had said earlier.

"Your powers interfer with Ryan's correct? Does his interfer simularly?"

 

[Hammerhead]

"Ugh," Ryan says with a shudder. "Creepy. Who to bring? Me. You. Four Leaf here. Kiyana, if she's up for it. We're going to need to some kind of transport, and conventional travel will be grounded. Unless they're keeping James in some ruined bunker near town, I guess, but that's probably not going to happen. Gilden, Kal, and Aya are always handy to have around. Basically, whoever's available, willing, and competent."

"So where are the bad guys keeping him?"

"I understand that he needs to be held responsible for what he did as a member of Pantheon, but he had nothing to do with this. He realized Cardinal was crazy and left Pantheon. In fact, he's helped us in our last couple of missions. Why the hell is he being executed?"

"She's right. If what Bishop did wasn't worth executing him for then, there's no reason he should be getting an execution now. So we can look tough against the Pantheon? That's not worth it. We can get someone that's still with them. Someone that's actually done something lately. Pick somebody and send us after them."

"Ugh," Ryan says with a shudder. "Creepy. Who to bring? Me. You. Four Leaf here. Kiyana, if she's up for it. We're going to need to some kind of transport, and conventional travel will be grounded.

Basically, whoever's available, willing, and competent."

"So where are the bad guys keeping him?"

"If you want transportation, why not just ask the UNJE? Its not in their best interests to allow Pantheon to hold members of the UNJE teams hostage and they could probably provide more people to go with us. Success is more important then ego so we should take as many people as we would need to give us good odds of it. If they are holding him they have to be expecting some kind of rescue attempt. Cardinal may be daft be she isn't stupid. Get all of Legacy if you can, as I doubt they'll make it easy for us."
