Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

Kelly nods when Anika guesses her last name correctly.

"Thats ok. I don't really mind, people making a big deal out of it gets really old, really fast. Luckily no one around here actually seems to care, well except for Tommy. He told me I was like triple cool when he asked me to the dance." she says smirking at the idea. Her smirk fades at Anika's disparraging of Jimmy,

"I didn't know he was the consolation prize, he's been nothing but wonderful to me, he is even taking me to the dance." she happily informs the other elite girl.

 

[Samnell]

James tries to talk about other things... like the dance and what it was like growing up in Russia with Kiyana. He makes light of his own past growing up in foster homes back in Montana, sweezing Kiyana's hand to give her support. If he sees the "new students" they might wander that way...

Mark takes a polite interest in Kiyana's and James's pasts, but maintains an awkward silence about his own.

"I didn't know he was the consolation prize, he's been nothing but wonderful to me, he is even taking me to the dance." she happily informs the other elite girl.

"Taking you to the dance?" Anika asks increduously. She turns to Jimmy, looking none too happy. "Your girlfriend is lying in a hospital bed, so you just toss her away like a sock with a hole in it? Or are you just trying to lucky at the dance and lie to her about it later? You pig. I told her she could do better than you, but for some demented reason, she actually likes you." She turns back to Kelly. "Yeah, I'm sure he's been 'wonderful'. That's the only way he'll get what he wants before he tosses you aside, too." She flashes Jimmy with a glare before turning and walkling away.

Kelly blinks at the vehemance of blonde girls statement, she hadn't thought it was that big of a deal, Jimmy did say it was falling apart for awhile, hadn't he? Its not like I actually care what they think, but they might all start to hate me. Well people hate me now for flashing too much skin or whatever nonsense it is now, but I've never had to live with them before, she thought, confused about what to do. It was obvious that everyone liked this Sarah girl, and just as obvious people didn't seem to like Jimmy. 6 months ago there wouldn't have been any hesitation or problems for her to work through, she was rather self-centered and would have done as she liked whatever others had thought, after what had happened to her, she mellowed somewhat and promised herself to be a better person, despite how often she forgot about the promise, she actually did try, and what Jimmy did to her wasn't nice at all if what Anika said was true.

"Hey Anika, wait up," she called out, walking after the other girl, watching Jimmy as she leaves. she almost runs to catch up to the other girl, Once out of Jimmy's earshot she asks the other girl, "Hey, is that actually true? She's like in a coma or something?"

Anika and Kelly

Jimmy fumes for a minute and follows clenching his fists, he breathes deeply, and sighs, moving rather fast for his size, he stands in front of Anika. Jimmy scowls, “Alright you got me, you think I am a prick, fine with me, I didn’t come to this school to make any friends.”

Jimmy loomed over Anika for a moment with menace before he relaxes, “Sure I don’t like Anika being in a coma anymore then you do, but you don’t know anything about us, or me. We had some good times, we had some bad times, but it isn’t like we are going to be together forever, we are young stuff happens, and when it is over, lets move on. What you never been in a relationship before?”

Jimmy shakes his head, “That does not mean I am worried about her, but stuff happens. I never said I was prince charming, but I think even you can understand if it isn’t working why fake it?”

John

“Well I think you need to find Ryan, and pass this on to him, as soon as possible, this affects him most of all it seems, but before we do that,” she seems to be trying to think through this all, “how do we know we can trust this information, I mean what do we really know about him? It just raises so many questions…”

Ryan, Cassie, and Karen

Kal nods, “If you want to help, then lets do it, I mean a man of your caliber, we could definitely use,” he says to Ryan with stark reverence.

Aris rolls her eyes, “Kal he isn’t Captain Cosmos, he is just a young metahuman just like us with powers like Captain Cosmos, so just relax. Sorry about that Ryan, Kal suffers from some hero worship.”

Charlotte

Arafina shakes her head, “That is just wrong, I mean what in the hell, what is next blowing up whole countries! This sounds like something those Pantheon monsters would do, this sounds like their work. Those bastards, I hate them, they make us elites look bad.”

Lisa sighs, “Now they want to force us all to register, well not like it is a big stretch for us, we work for the school, they already know about us, this really sucks!”

Yoko takes a seat, “I just hope that Justice Elite goes out and kicks some Pantheon butt!”

Mark and James

Kiyana turns to Mark, “So where did you grow up at Mark, I am curious, unless I missed it you don’t about where you came from much, I mean since you are the leader of Legacy, everyone is going to want to know everything about you, I don’t know if I could handle that…”

"Hey Anika, wait up," she called out, walking after the other girl, watching Jimmy as she leaves. she almost runs to catch up to the other girl, Once out of Jimmy's earshot she asks the other girl, "Hey, is that actually true? She's like in a coma or something?"

Anika responds without slowing down or looking at Kelly, "I dunno what's happnened to her, but yeah, last I've seen of her she was unconscious. John said her brain activity was weak, she didn't look good at all." She stops and sighs, looking at Kelly, "Look, I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you. If you want to go to the dance with Jimmy, he's obviously available now. Let him deal with Sarah, I'm sure what I just gave him isn't nearly half as bad as what he's going to get from her."

Jimmy fumes for a minute and follows clenching his fists, he breathes deeply, and sighs, moving rather fast for his size, he stands in front of Anika. Jimmy scowls, “Alright you got me, you think I am a prick, fine with me, I didn’t come to this school to make any friends.”

Jimmy loomed over Anika for a moment with menace before he relaxes, “Sure I don’t like Anika being in a coma anymore then you do, but you don’t know anything about us, or me.

Jimmy shakes his head, “That does not mean I am worried about her, but stuff happens. I never said I was prince charming, but I think even you can understand if it isn’t working why fake it?”

Anika rolls her eyes, looking up at Jimmy and getting even more upset, "Oh, brother, you think I even care if you two break up? Try rubbing those two lonely brain cells together in that head of yours to see if you can understand this. You're doing it behind her back while she lies in a freakin' hospital bed, you insensitive jerk. She obviously likes John, but she's blowing him off to be with you. She treats you with some respect and you treat her like a week-old hunk of stale bread. Yeah, you're a prick." She tries to move around Jimmy, having had enough of looking at him, let alone talking to him.

Mark and James

Kiyana turns to Mark, “So where did you grow up at Mark, I am curious, unless I missed it you don’t about where you came from much, I mean since you are the leader of Legacy, everyone is going to want to know everything about you, I don’t know if I could handle that…”

"Uh, California. San Francisco mostly." Mark answers. "I moved around some."

Anika responds without slowing down or looking at Kelly, "I dunno what's happnened to her, but yeah, last I've seen of her she was unconscious. John said her brain activity was weak, she didn't look good at all." She stops and sighs, looking at Kelly, "Look, I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you. If you want to go to the dance with Jimmy, he's obviously available now. Let him deal with Sarah, I'm sure what I just gave him isn't nearly half as bad as what he's going to get from her."

Kelly appears to be understandably upset with the whole fiasco, she had been at the institute no more than a few hours, and already she had almost died 2 twice on the way to the school, and been caught up in the student melo-drama almost instantly, by agreeing to go out with a guy who seemed really nice. She wanted to scream, or yell, or blast something, it was all so confusing, she had the feeling she would need a score card to understand all the relationships that were going on and she might accidentally blunder into.

She certainly didn't want to go the dance with someone who would do that to his girl-friend, but on the other he had said they were breaking up. There is just something about him, the popstar thinks to herself looking over Jimmy as she waits for his reaction to Anika's outburst, I don't know what it is, but its there, I want to like him, but I don't know why, its not like hes the cutest guy I have everseen or anything, hey, thats it, he reminds me of someone, but who? she wonders, going through a mental list of guys she knew that acted like that, Must be HIM, don't know anyone else that is actually such a jerk, I mean they both have that bad boy thing going on, Jimmy and Neuro, she thinks with a shudder,feeling repulsed and weirded out.

"I don't want to do that to another girl being so new here and all, maybe if you talk to her about it before the dance, and she really is interested in this she wont have a problem with it." she told Jimmy, wondering if it was wrong to hope that this Sarah girl, whoever she was, didn't get better til after the dance. "Hey, maybe if you go visit her she'll wake up and the two of you can talk, and Anika will consent to be more tour guide and introduce me to everyone, I mean you really should be at the hospital with her if she is that bad off."

It just raises so many questions…”

"Yeah, I know what you mean. But which do you think is better, just ignoring the advice in case it's a lie and letting Ryan get taken by this Overseer? Or erring on the side of caution and trying to keep him out of the Overseer's hands so the world doesn't end. I'm thinking better safe than sorry. But I agree, the only other encounter we've had with Chaos was him screwing with us."

Anika and Kelly

“Whatever,” he says to Anika, “if she wants to date that wimp then go ahead, I am not stopping her. And I have seen her, she is floating in some kind of liquid dead to the world, she isn’t waking up any time soon.”

He stepped aside for Anika to pass, “But you shouldn’t be sticking your nose in other people’s business, because I sure as hell don’t worry about what you are doing. But then again your some self-righteous chick, who thinks whatever they do, is right, right? If you didn’t care that we are breaking up, then why the big show, why do you care so much? Why don’t you just get a life, or go hang around your little glow boy, maybe if you were getting some you wouldn’t be worrying about other people?”

Jimmy walks off, “Hey see yah, you want to still go let me know, if not whatever…” he says to Kelly.

Mark and James

Kiyana smiles, “San Francisco how is it there, I have heard of it, but never been, is it a great city, what about that big bridge, is that cool? How your parents feel about you making the team?”

John

Jun Min nods, “Alright that makes sense, tell him, and let Ryan decide for himself. That would be the best thing after all, we shouldn’t take anything at face value, a lot of strange stuff is happening, or has been happening around here. We can’t be too careful.”
