Generation Legacy Issue #15

Karen continues to skim the missing person's lists and hospital records for even the slightest bit of information. Her normally bright saphire eyes only have a dull glow to them. She barely notices when Jun-Min sits down next to her. She's a little startled when she suddenly hears Jun-Min's voice in her head.

She stares blankly at the screen at the images of the ruined city she used to call home before finally replying, "I... I need to know, I need to know if they're ok ... i-if something happened to them... I-I can't lose them too... I don't want to lose anyone anymore..." she thinks back as tears begin to well up in her eyes, "There has to be a way we can make things right again... there has to be..."

Cassie

She sighs and follows, not that she had much choice. Barely able to feel her extremities and definitely not dressed for the climate, she had to get under quickly. She just hoped that she hadn't made a mistake.

The figure leads her to a cave, providing shelter from the biting winds and cold. Now that she is closer it is larger in size, stooped at the shoulders. This creature, this elite looks more like a caveman then a man, with long ropy hairy arms, and a long sloping brow. It turns to Cassie, “Are you cold?” speaking in a rumbling tone.

It sits undeterred by the cold, with three books set out before it and begins turns pages swiftly, “If you are cold I can prepare a fire for you. Here take this,” he tosses her some heavy animal pelts, “this will keep you warm.”

Karen

“If you want to know, ask Sariyah, she can find anyone… I am not sure how that works but she helped us a great deal finding people in the city. I am not sure how far she can search but her abilities are pretty remarkable for someone just manifesting elite powers. But I doubt that does little to abate your worries. I am sorry. I don’t have the answer to how we can make this better, but I do know that we will do our best to make it better… for Kelly, for Yoshi… and for everyone that lost their lives today,” Jun Min replies.

Anika and Clover

Clover collapses and gets a nosebleed from trying to copy Robbie’s abilities. Whatever he is, he isn’t an elite. Robbie furrows his brow, “You shouldn’t try and do that without my permission.”

His twin mimics, “I think she hurt herself.”

Her head throbs with a dull pain as the curious boy offers her his hand, “Did you hurt yourself; you are bleeding? I am sorry if you did, please be ok.”

His twin mocks, “I bet her brain explodes.”

Anika notices Sami standing in the doorway, just watching the people.

Ryan

“You seem so brave, none of this scares you? I mean what you do if you could do it… and what is stopping you? I mean you are an elite you can do anything you want, why don’t you just go do whatever it is you want to do? I don’t understand, why sit here and wait to do things when you can just go do the right thing right now. If Cardinal was behind this, then lets make her pay right now… what if I could find her, could we get her then?” Sariyah asks.

Mark

Tina is about to respond when mark starts into his phone conversation. Star replies, “Sorry Mark, I am sorry I was not there to help Mr. McCallister and I have been busy and then after everything happened I was needed to help with rescue operations; are you okay?”
 

Clover shakes her head blearily, before pinching her nose closed to stop the bleeding. "I wasn't trying to copy your powers; I was just looking to see if you were an elite. Nanites alter how a person's energy flows through their body that’s how I can copy it, but in your case the energy was just way too different...I must have focused my concentration on it too much or something." Clover tells Robbie, starting to get irritated at his twin or whatever it was.

"I'm alright, at least I think I'm alright...you are a very unusual boy." the red head says, wincing at the dull throbbing in her skull. 'note to self: self your abilities can overwhelm you and make your head hurt.' the girl thought to herself. "My head isn't going to explode, least ways I hope not. Do you mind if I ask what you actually are, you’re not an elite whatever else you may be?"

OOC: In the future I'll be more careful to say when she is using the detect: Elites instead of Mimic: Elite Powers.

Cassie

Cassie wraps the pelts around herself and sits down by the fire. Curiously she looks at the books the man is reading.

"I was told that I would be able to meet with my sister." She says after a while, wondering if she had moved in something other than just space. The man in front of her looks quite a bit the neanderthal man she had seen in her science classes. She runs a hand though her half blonde/black hair, ruefully wishing she had either washed it off before the attack or at least had some more hair coloring to cover the regrown blonde hair. Then she mentally 'smacked' herself. There were many other things to consider that were far more important than her hair.

"Um, Robbie isn't from around here," Anika tells Clover. "And he's not an elite. It's a long story, though. Let's just say he's really powerful and leave it at that," she adds with a smile to the Robbies. Noticing Sami, she stands. "Excuse me for bit," she says and makes her way to her boyfriend's side.

"Hi. How are you doing?" she simply asks, concern in her voice.

Mark gave Tina a shrug. I didn't pick the time for her to call. Sorry.

"Yes, I'm ok. I guess," he told Star unconvincingly. "It's pretty nuts. Everything's gone and we had a lot of bodies."

A tear drops on the screen in her hands, "I-it's all so meaningless... Why shouldn't we just let Overseer or the Eternals destroy the world? If they don't we'll do it ourselves anyway..." the pc slides from her hands and she hugs her knees to her chest, "I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't... I-I've always told others everything would be alright, but ... but it's hard to keep hoping right now..."

“Nothing to apologize for Karen,” Jun Min replies verbally, she puts her arms around Karen to comfort her, “these are the times, when everything seems darkest when our true characters are tested. We could give up right now, wash our hands of this and just let the world slide into oblivion… but maybe we shouldn’t care too much about saving the world and focus on what really matters living. I never set out to save the world Karen, I only set out to make things a little better for those close to me, one person at a time.”

“Saving the world is what super heroes do, making things better because it is the right thing to do is what real heroes do. It may seem meaningless but there a lot of people who lived today because you took it upon yourself to care and help,” Jun Min adds.

Mark

“I am not convinced, but at least I can hear your voice,” Star responds, “Kal is doing better, it is almost impossible to keep him in the bed to rest. I try to understand what I should feel about this incident and all I can come up with are the logistics of the death toll. The number seems staggering, early estimates are in the millions… how can we stop someone that has no qualms killing so many people? Are you scared?”

Clover

Robbie watches Anika walk over to Sami and then turns back to Clover, “I just showed up earlier today but I am not sure from where. They think I am an Eternal, but I am not quite sure what that means or why that should be important. Can you tell me?”

His twin laughs, “You are so dumb, of course she does not know.”

“hey at least I am trying to find answers,” Robbie responds.

“Yeah, in the wrong places,” his twin chortles and then snaps his fingers and disappears.

“Hey how did he do that?” Robbie asks. Robbie starts snapping his fingers but nothing happens.

Anika

Sami barely registers a nod, “They told me I should hang out here away from the baselines, just in case people might get violent,” his eyes slowly shift looking like that of a predator and the air about him gives off the feeling of a predator, but worse. His eyes quickly go back, “I feel different now.”

He puts his hand slowly to her chin, “You look beautiful.”

Cassie

One book seems to be written in Russian, the second in Chinese, and the third looks to be English; the Bible. The caveman-like humanoid responds, “Your hair looks fine you are a beautiful young woman, just like your sister. More a classic, earthy beauty. In more classical times men would spend their nights writing poetry to celebrate your charms.”

“My name is Ignatius do you require sustenance? I have tea and I can prepare you a meal. It will be hours before it will be safe for us to move again,” the gentle giant replies.
 

"Of course this scares me...millions dead, my own home destroyed, and with no idea of what's coming next? I'd be an idiot not to be. But finding Cardinal...well, first anyone going after her would have to go through all of the elites she keeps around her, and then there's the matter of fighting her, the toughest woman around." And, of course, there are other matters at hand. Like Overseer. Killing Cardinal helps Overseer win. Not good.

"So you can find people? Like anywhere on the globe," Ryan asks incredulously. Hey, we could rescue Mrs. Mitchell, or find Red Witch. Or rescue James. She needs to talk with...Anika? No, probably too busy with Sami. And that little kid...wait a minute? Who the hell is that little kid? Mark? Not unless Paragon says so. And he might guess the truth about what happened in the garage. Tina would be up for something I'm betting. Gilden's cool as ice, he'd go. Probably not Kiyana, unless we're rescuing James. And I haven't seen Aya, Kal, or Gadget around.

"Besides, I can't really just leave. I might lose my job or something. That's not much of an excuse, but stil..." Ryan says, trailing off, getting up, and heading back towards the male part of the shelter. "Hey! Tina! Gilden!"
