Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

[Hammerhead]

Ryan looks bewildered and confused, scanning each face for the hint of some kind of joke. Who the heck is Captain Cosmo? And how could I look like him? As far as I know, I'm the only purple glowing elite in existence. Ryan turns towards Cassandra, asking "Who's Captain...oh, yeah. Never mind." Ryan sighs, then faces the strange pair of elites named Kal and Aris."I'm sorry, I'm the only purple glowing elite here right now. I have no idea what you're...oh, wait! Captain Cosmo! Is he some kind of comic book character?" That explains Aris's confusion as well. Kal is some kind of comic book fan, I guess. Maybe he'll make friends with Tommy.

Ryan nods towards John amiably as he approaches, then responds to "Yes, I am that Comet guy from the news, please don't call me that. We all were required to pick some kind of stupid code name or something. My name is Ryan. Uh...nice to meet you." I wonder how much all that ruby is worth?

Ryan feels a need to break away from Cassandra's touch. He starts to break away, then stops, noting Cassandra's face and remembering content from Kal's outburst. Overseer? Genocide? Invasion? Statue of me or Captain Cosmo or whoever? Didn't Cassandra say something about an Overseer? Something's going on. We'll need John for this.

Ryan stares at John, raising a finger to his head, then pointing it towards Kal and Aris in the most inconspicuous way possible.

James and Mark

Kiyana nods, I agree that they should not be able to do that, but I mean, since we work for the UN now, I mean do you think they will make us enforce this rule? Or law, I mean, what does that make us, I mean we are still the good guys right? I mean people should follow the law right?”

Kelly

Charles stood, “There is a 24 hour cafeteria here, so there should be something to eat. Come on, that was the first good idea you had all day, eating,” he opens the door. The two head to the cafeteria, and find a buffet of various foods from all over the world, cooked by world-class or near chefs, obviously few expenses were spared in the creation of these Institutes.

Charles grabs three chili dogs, and fries and sits, “Now this is more like it, almost like Coney Island,” he gorges himself on the food, “Now if only they had some beer!”

As Kelly is getting some food, she can see newscasts, and recasts of the press conference held by Dr. Petrova Stockov, but still no footage of the destruction in Mexico City. Most of the students present, are watching the screen, and have yet to notice the pop star singer.

Kelly spots the one named Paladin sitting with another female, they seem to be talking and watching the newscast, their moods not surprisingly look forlorn, and upset. But that seems to be the norm, sitting with them is a large Chinese youth, who glances to Kelly, and smirks with a leer, and says something to Paladin, who simply just shakes his head.

Charlotte

Charlotte comes out, and Arafina smiles generously, “It looks spectacular,” she hands Charlotte a glass with wine in it, it has a hearty smell to it. Arafina winks, “Don’t worry, have some it is just to die for,” she takes a drink, and takes a seat in the chair.

Yoko sighs, taking a sip, as she looks at Charlotte, “I suppose it looks alright.”

Lisa giggles taking a drink of win, “I love it, if you don’t get it, I will! You really fill it out well.”

Arafina sits in the chair, and takes another drink, “I agree, you were made for that dress,” she winks.

Cassie, Ryan, and John

Aris notices the gesture made by Ryan, and looks to John, and then looks to Kal, “I think your scaring him Kal, he obviously is not Captain Cosmos, let him be. Before the mentalist over there fries your mind,” she gestures to John.

Kal glances to John, and sighs. He folds his arms, “Sorry about that, I just thought, well it is a long story,” he glances to Aris, and she sighs with resigned approval. Kal takes a deep breath and speaks, “I am Kid Paragon, and Aris is Miracle Girl we are members of Teen Justice, from Earth, our Earth which is not this Earth. I guess this does not make sense, but we need the help of Legacy, from what I have seen you have metahumans here on this world. There is a powerful being named Overseer threatening our world, and we believe he may pose a threat to this one as well. He was defeated back in our world about 17 years ago or something like that. Captain Cosmos died in that battle, and well everyone thought Overseer and his army, Rapture, was dead, but well we were wrong in a big way.”

Aris nods, “I can validate him, if need be.”

Kal nodded, “So well we need Legacy’s help in tracking down two of his agents, Genocide and Red Witch. Can you help us get in contact with Legacy?”

Kiyana nods, I agree that they should not be able to do that, but I mean, since we work for the UN now, I mean do you think they will make us enforce this rule? Or law, I mean, what does that make us, I mean we are still the good guys right? I mean people should follow the law right?”

"Well the contract said I have to follow their rules... So I guess that one's decided for me" Mark shrugs uncomfortably. "But it's not like we're guns or something..."

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly nods her approval of the catering as she moves from table to table examining the offerings of food prepared by the Chefs, it was at least as good as the food she normally had, although her tastes on tour ran heavily to fast-food and chocolate, not very healthy, but certainly tasty. With the way this whole place is going to be, it is probably going to be okay to eat what I want since I'll burn it off anyway, between my routine and the lessons and all. Surely they have a pool here too, so I defintely need to order some bikinis, I wonder about an actual gym though, maybe Charles knows from that whole, I am thinking computery thoughts thing, she wonders idly as she decides to indulge herself a bit, taking a plate of fries, a chocolate shake, and a Cheese-burger, as well as a bottled water with her back to the table.

"Hey, do you know if they have a pool and a gym so I can keep up with my workouts?" the popstar asks her gaurd as she sits down and starts to eat. She nods at his comment about the food, despite the privelaged up-bringing and exquisite fare, she had turned out to have similair tastes. "I certainly could wish for some Smirnoff." she agreed, thinking about her European tour when she had first had it, well, had it legally at any rate, more often then not people were willing to bend the rules for her in that regard, hoping to get her sloshed, but not needing to rely on that in Europe was certainly refreshing, not to mention the fact that she didn't have to hide it.

When the Chinese boy smirked at her, Kelly winked back at him out of boredom, and put a finger to her lips. She looked over at Charles who was enjoying his food, "Hey, stay here for a minute, I see someone I'd like to talk to." With that, she stands and makes her way over to Paladin's table, and takes a seat.

"Your Paladin right? I caught you on the news, you did pretty good with the vultures, it was your first time with the media people right?" she asks the American teenager.

Aris notices the gesture made by Ryan, and looks to John, and then looks to Kal, “I think your scaring him Kal, he obviously is not Captain Cosmos, let him be. Before the mentalist over there fries your mind,” she gestures to John.

Kal glances to John, and sighs. He folds his arms, “Sorry about that, I just thought, well it is a long story,” he glances to Aris, and she sighs with resigned approval. Kal takes a deep breath and speaks, “I am Kid Paragon, and Aris is Miracle Girl we are members of Teen Justice, from Earth, our Earth which is not this Earth.

Aris nods, “I can validate him, if need be.”

Kal nodded, “So well we need Legacy’s help in tracking down two of his agents, Genocide and Red Witch. Can you help us get in contact with Legacy?”

John looks at Ryan, and was going to do what was asked, until Aris noticed the plan.
Listening to the story, John says, "Legacy hasn't been formed yet, at least not all of it. The UN has only selected a couple of members. If you've come from another earth or dimension, I'm afraid you're a bit early."

Kelly

OOC: Ack hard to read that text Shalimar

Paladin looks up, “Call me Billy, and yes that was me, and my good buddy, Comet, but you can call him Ryan. The guy that glows, he is a real great guy too, and I wasn’t by myself, but well the news tends to blow things up you understand I am sure,” he says casually to Kelly with his trademark grin and wink.

“By the way this is my girlfriend, Isabelle, and Jimmy, don’t mind him, he is just a jerk,” he gestures to the Chinese youth.

Jimmy shrugs, “Yeah, whatever, you’re that Kelly chick, not a big fan of the music, but your pretty hot, even in person. Guess you’re an elite too, damn I guess we get all the luck.”

Isabelle just shrugs, “Yeah some more then others,” she says with a sigh, “I can’t believe they caught us Billy, oh well, screw them.”

Billy reaches out and holds her hand, “Just relax, I figure we can do our own thing, while everyone else is at the dance. What are you going to do, Jimmy, I mean with Sarah and all?”

Jimmy shrugs, “I don’t know, it isn’t like we are married, tough break for her, they say she should pull through. But it was getting kind of old anyways,” he turned to Kelly, “besides dad always told me to try new things.”

Billy just rolls his eyes, and laughs.

Mark and James

Kiyana nods, “I guess you are right, Mark,” she tries to cheer up, “I hope that the elites just do what they are supposed to do, and register. I mean that is the right thing to do right?”

Mr. McCallister stands in the doorway, “That just depends on which side of the fence your on. It is choice everyone has to make for themselves, to do the right thing, or what is expected you, or what you believe you have to do. And no, not all of them are the same thing.”

John, Ryan, Cassie, and Karen

Aris turns to John, “No need for sarcasm, if you don’t believe us then say so. I guess we have to do this by ourselves Kal, but thanks for your help. I do appreciate it, any idea where to start.”

Kal shrugs, “You have me, this place is much different from our own time, I mean the Sahara is a desert, first off, I mean well this is all very new to me,” he turns back to Ryan, “man the resemblance is uncanny, your like the spitting image man, are you sure your not Captain Cosmos, I mean your secret would be safe with me if it was.”

Cassie listens to their stories, nodding as they explain things. "That is why I haven't heard of this.. captain." she says quietly, going on. "I ..have done extensive reading on various elites, you could say I'm.. looking for connections to my own past. That also might explain why everyone is after you, if your... analog was pivotal in defeating this Overseer, you might possess some.. quality that makes you particularly useful in fighting him Ryan."

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly smiles at Paladin as he plays down his part in the thing at the mall, so, he's cute and modest, wow, she thinks, though her smile definitely fades a bit when he mentions that Isabelle is his girlfriend. I'm much hotter then her anyway, she tells herself before giving the other girl a more thorough check out, the girl was certainly attractive and very much in shape, she could definitely see what Paladin saw in her, in fact, she was starting to feel attracted to her herself. Blushing slightly, she shook her head, trying to clear it off Neuro's lingering influence, feeling at once embaressed, ashamed, and turned on by the desire. Once she became aware enough that she became embaressed, the desire quickly faded away, as it often did, although it would be back, set off by something else Neuro would have liked.

"Hi," she said warmly to the girl, her feelings still slightly mixed on how she felt about the other girl. She quickly looks away, towards Jimmy. Smirking at his semi-backhanded compliment, she replies, "What, did you think I'd be ugly or something?" she shakes her head, smiling at the fact that no one else has noticed, or started gushing. "Yea, I can control the weather and everything." she informs the trio.

She listens politely to Billy's question about this Sarah girl, not really knowing, or caring what they are talking about. At least she knew that any desire she might feel for a boy was real, she thought as she listened to Jimmy's answer. "Daddy knows best sometimes." she replies solemnly before smirking at Jimmy. The boy definitely is cute, she thinks to herself, not bothered by the fact that he is planning on dumping his girlfriend.

Karen shrugs, "Oh, sorry about that ... Ryan. I didn't think it was that bad for a nickname actually."
She nods as John approaches, still listening carefully to and desperately trying to make sense of the conversation.
So they're from another earth ... and they want the help of Legacy to save their world and possibly our own. Shao-Lin was right, these are very interesting times. Could this have something to do with this Sundering he was talking about?

John, Ryan, Cassie, and Karen

Aris turns to John, “No need for sarcasm, if you don’t believe us then say so. I guess we have to do this by ourselves Kal, but thanks for your help. I do appreciate it, any idea where to start.”

Kal shrugs, “You have me, this place is much different from our own time, I mean the Sahara is a desert, first off, I mean well this is all very new to me,” he turns back to Ryan, “man the resemblance is uncanny, your like the spitting image man, are you sure your not Captain Cosmos, I mean your secret would be safe with me if it was.”

John looks apologetic,"Sorry. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. Just saying if you're looking for Legacy, it hasn't been formed yet. But we still may be able to help, if you want."
John turns to Ryan and Cassandra, "Sarah's been taken to the hospital here at school. I'm going to see how she's doing and see if there's anything I can do for her. Let me know if you need me for anything. I'll most likely either be at the hospital, the cafe, or in my room."
Waving to the others, "It was nice meeting all of you. I'll see you around."
With that, he heads off to the hospital section, asking SARA for directions as necessary.
