Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

[Aust Meliamne]

Aris shrugs, "Thank you, we appreciate it," she glances for Kal but he is already gone. Her look is one of frustration, as she turns to Anika and John, "Congratulations," her face returning to a smile.

John thanks everyone as they each offer their congragulations, still a bit shocked on being selected. He looks to Ju Min and Mr. McCallister, "So, what happens now. With our selection to the team, I mean?"

Jun Min's Office

Jun Min looks to Kal and Aris, "Well for right now, we can give you two rooms, until this whole mess gets straightened out. I am sorry about all this, but you will be safe here."

Aris shrugs, "Thank you, we appreciate it," she glances for Kal but he is already gone. Her look is one of frustration, as she turns to Anika and John, "Congratulations," her face returning to a smile.

"Well I'm going to try to find out how that computer in my room works, should keep me busy most of the night. Euhm... good night everyone." she says as she starts to leave and heads towards her room. Maybe I can find some information about those Pantheon guys, everybody seems to know so much about them. She'll watch the news on what happened to Mexico City and search the web for some general information about Pantheon until she gets bored with it and then head to the gym for a bit of a workout.

Ryan was shocked, and somewhat disappointed, that Kelly was a celebrity. Ryan walks behind her in silence, trying to remember what albums she released or songs she sang. Nothing. This is embarassing. I guess she wasn't very good then.

"Nah, sorry Kal, he's probably right. There goes that idea. Just stick close. Genocide and Red Witch will show up here if we wait long enough. Enjoy your stay." Ryan then turns to survey the gym, taking in the scene. There's that brat Tommy. Why wasn't I chosen? I can't ask him though. Star's okay, I guess, if she's friends with Anika. There's Jimmy talking to some new girl; maybe it's Arafina. And Cassandra with Yoshi. Big mistake, Cassie. Who's the old guy? Probably the Charles guy Kelly was talking about. What a showoff! Can't she do situps like a normal person?

Ryan walks over to a punching bag next to Charles, beating it with his ungloved hands. "Hey," he says, nodding towards Charles. "What's she doing here?," he asks, raising his eyes towards the ceiling. "I mean, what's she like?," he hastily corrects himself. She's rich, famous, etc. Why stay here? She probably makes more than Mark will in a year just by selling record albums. Hey, the ice is melting. Now there's a puddle on the floor. How considerate.

What do I do now with my life, anyway. Just tag along with Legacy, and hope one day the powers that be think I'm good enough? I'm already good enough! Heck, I'm the best. And I can show it. I have shown it. I could take anyone in this gym, no problem. Should I just wait for the chance to take down Genocide and Red Witch, or what? Sneak out? Just do anything other than sitting here?

The Gym

Charles glances to Ryan and shrugs, "Who the hell knows, she makes her own decisions, probably thought it was cool," he says with a thick Bronx accent. With one final punch, and then speaks again, "She has talent, at singing I guess, not my thing, too much pop, not enough metal. I can tell you ain't a fan, she is spoiled, catty, and likes getting her way. In short she is a woman."

Charles smirks, "Whats your story kid," he dries off with a towel.

Jun Min's Office

Jun Min replies to John, "Well for right now, you have to decide if you want to be on the team or not, sign the paperwork, and we go from there."

Mr. McCallister nods, "It is a big responsibility, but I think you can handle it, you have a genuine concern for others. Like with Sarah, that isn't a common thing."

Karen

Karen is able to bring up plenty of information on pantheon, different attacks, notable elites like Synapse, Bishop who looks suprisingly alot like William, Razor, and several others. They are generally described as terrorists though some groups that are pro-elite seem to pitch them as freedom fighters. There is also talk of the UN tightening its grip on World Affairs with the current situation in Mexico City, and the Mandatory Registration, and the granting of the UNJE and UN Armed Forces with specific rights for law enforcement and peace keeping. Many skeptics seem to be wary of where this may lead.

Ryan laughs. "My story? Heck, I'm not sure anyone else has ever asked me that before. One day, I'm sitting in a class, taking a Precalc test, then...WHAM! I start glowing, my test burns up, next thing I know I'm going to Africa, where everyone is trying to kidnap me for a reason I barely understand. If you don't like her, why work for her?" This guy's pretty cool.

Ryan continually slams the punching bag until his knuckles are bleeding. Okay, I didn't make it. What the heck should I do? I should at least found out WHY I didn't make it. Then maybe see what I can do to join. Or I could try and recruit some people here to try and take down Overseer or something. Show the stupid UN I don't need them. I wonder what their response is to Mexico City attack?

Charles shrugged, "I am a merc, kid, I go where the money is. Besides despite her shortcomings, she isn't that bad. Well she is, but the little girl, still needs someone to look out for, or at least she did."

He shrugs, "It isn't like I do much else, when your in my line of business you kind of get used to drifting around. One place is as good as any, and man precalc? I hated that crap back when I was in school."

"Seems like you got some troubles, it ain't none of my business, but if you beat that bag any more, someone may put you up on charges," Charles finishes, as he gives a casual glance of the room.

The Gym

Yoshi shrugs, "Yeah you an be my girl," he tries to play it off smooth like, "and don't worry about Jimmy, he is just a jerk, and pissed off."

The rest of the students enter the gym, Charles is there, working on a punching bag, he does not seemed surprise to see Kelly enter, and continues beating the bag with his fists, and feet. The Gym is massive, and has the latest in the state of the art equipment, it is well supplied. Posters of the Justice Elite, and Justice Elite: Beta adorn the walls.

On one of the sparring mats, Star is going through a routine, while Tommy watches analyzing her technique and style, very much impressed. Tommy smirks, "Great job Smirk, flawless as usual."

Star turns, "Thank you Tommy."

As Ryan and Kelly walk through the doors, Kal catches up, "So now that we know they won't let us go, when are we sneaking out? I mean you aren't going to listen to those two are you?" he looks quizzically at Ryan.

Cassie nods. "So.. you want to go steady with me?" blinks a bit, blushing as she starts doing her warm up for acrobatics. "I am quessing." as she watches Ryan start up his work. "That I wasn't the only one not invited to join the team. Not that i expected too.. but I thought Ryan's powers would make him a suitable choice for the team."

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan glances at his bleeding knuckles, then concentrates for a few seconds, mending the gashes in his hands. Ow! Ow! This really hurts.Ryan shrugs. "I'm actually being pretty gentle. I could rip this thing in half, no problem." Still, Ryan stops his merciless beating of the punching bag. "I got problems, I guess, but I'll work out a solution eventually. It's not like it's the worst situation I've been in."

"So how much mercs like you get paid? I'm not prying, it's just I'm looking for something to do with my life." Next to several million, four hundred a week doesn't seem very much. I don't have much stuff to spend my money on, but still...a car would be kind of nice. "Will you be following Kelly around as her bodyguard, or what? I mean, they really don't publisize this, but this place is really dangerous. No one's died yet, and kidnapping some rich daughter of a rich guy might be a way for some terrorist wackos to get some funding." Not to mention me, of course, and all the people trying to kidnap me. I'm important enough for some extradimensional psycho to kidnap, but not important enough to join the UN's latest publicity stunt? Maybe I should threaten to leave? Nah, that's wouldn't be right.

Charles shrugged, "I am a merc, kid, I go where the money is. Besides despite her shortcomings, she isn't that bad. Well she is, but the little girl, still needs someone to look out for, or at least she did."

"Well thats good to know, I'd hate to be all bad." Kelly says from where she had been floating, above and behind the pair. She landed lightly on the balls of her feet. "If you want to know something just ask, its better than reading the tabloids at least." she says, stretching to either side so her mucles don't cramp up from the work-out. She begins punching and kicking the air in front of her, doing something that could remotely resemble fighting if it weren't a popular Aerobic work-out.

"So like, how are the classes and everything, its not too hard is it? I mean this is like super hero school, is that the whole point? To learn to control our powers and then to get on a super hero team?" Kelly asks Ryan in-between punches.
