Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

[Samnell]

Mark
Mark rolled an attack of 21, will he use a Hero Point or not, I will assume he did not spend the point for the Passenger extra. So he has spent 1 Hero Point so far.

Mark spends the point on the attack.

"You heard him," Anika responds. "His top three priorities are 'Me, Myself, and I.' We don't need his 'help'. Whatever," she says dejectedly, slumping back in her chair. She sighs and rubs her forehead. "I mean, California could drop into the ocean any day, and now he might not be there for it, she says, cracking a smile. "I'm sorry, it's not your fault, that loser brings out the worst in me. I swear, though, it's going to eventually come down to more than an exchange of words between us...and then you'll be short another 'helper.'

"But until that time, he could be very useful. Besides, running away to California was too good for him. This way, he might get hurt." It's really sad that I'm saying that, and that I'm manipulating someone into doing what I want. Oh well, I'm not exactly that cunning, so I think Jimmy knows what he's getting into.

Let's try and change the subject here. "So Anika, do you know what exactly Legacy will be doing? You know, taking down baseline criminals and terrorists, help with disasters, what? Other than look pretty and give the UN some good PR."

Kal shrugs, and wraps an arm around Karen, “Relax Karen, I can still fly when I am drunk,” he jests. He then replies to Karen’s comment, “Yeah I guess that is pretty cool, it isn’t that big a deal everyone just kind of expects it of us metahuman types. I guess that is pretty cool.”

Kal turns back to Karen, taking another draught of beer, already filling his second cup, “I figured you get to do cool stuff too right? I am sort of mystified at this place, no alien invasions; no one is trying to destroy the world on a daily basis, pretty tame. I mean, not saying you’re tame, you seem really cool.”

Kal took another drink, “Good stuff.”

"Besides Pantheon trying to control all baselines, someone destroying Mexico City in one day and this Overseer guy from your world trying to kill one of the other students, there is not really much to do around here," Karen says jokingly, "The only alien invasion I know of is Aris and maybe Genocide, if he's an alien. For now the coolest stuff I got to do was meeting popstar and having a philosophical discussion with Bishop from Pantheon. Oh yeah, and meeting a real cool guy from another dimension." she adds smiling, gently leaning against his side.

"Is beer really that good? Can I taste it? I might not be able to drink anymore but I can still taste stuff."

"But until that time, he could be very useful. Besides, running away to California was too good for him. This way, he might get hurt."

"Hey, I wasn't serious about wanting him to die in some disaster. I'm not so petty that I'm going to laugh if he gets hurt...well, unless I'm the one doing the hurting," Anika says, smirking.

Let's try and change the subject here. "So Anika, do you know what exactly Legacy will be doing? You know, taking down baseline criminals and terrorists, help with disasters, what? Other than look pretty and give the UN some good PR."

Anika shrugs. "We haven't trained to do anything specific. Just working on teamwork, learning to build on each other's strengths and cover each other's weaknesses. Some paper called us JE Jr., I suppose we'll be doing the stuff JE and JE:B do, but hard to tell until we get out there and start doing it." She sighs. "I wish we were ready to go now, I'd feel better if we could help in Mexico City..."

Mark

Mark strikes forward quickly, but his assailant is ready for him, stepping back at the last second, as the speedy elite rushes by, moving another forty feet, away from the assassin. As he turns he sees the Asian assassin rush after him, in a charge and leap into the air, with powerful kick.

Mark quickly ducks, causing the man to grin, as he lands in a low stance, “Interesting you are fast, as fast as they say, but you are lacking in other areas.”

Mark missed his attack with a 22 on the reroll, and the Assassin missed with a 26.

Star pauses for a moment, before picking up Sakura and starting to run…

Ryan and Anika

There is a scraping sound, as Jimmy takes a seat at the table, “Thanks I love you two guys too, don’t think I am all that naïve buddy. I kind of figured you wanted some extra muscle around, and I can see that this isn’t like an intimate moment.”

Jimmy glances from Ryan to Anika, “But please go on, I find this all fascinating if not informative…”

The Lake

Victor shrugs, “I guess some men try to impress women in different ways. I guess some just need to compensate for their shortcomings,” he jokes.

Kal replies to Karen, “Yeah I am pretty cool,” he jokes, and hands her his cup, “Try it, not bad. I could drink beer all night, one of my like powers is that I am like totally immune to poisons and toxins, so I don’t ever get drunk.”

Kal gives Karen a squeeze, “Want to take a flight over the lake?” he says with a smirk.

Yoshi shrugs, “Babe, we can race all over this lake if you like, I don ‘t care, and I am no boating expert either. But I know a few things, I can show you around, and all that.” He turns to Cassie and holds her close, over looking the water, “You happy with your gift baby?”

Kelly

William looked at her with his intense eyes, “We had nothing to do with Mexico City. And simply put we believe that we are not human, we cannot be tied to baseline sensibilities. We must transcend that baser nature, and realize what we are, we are the children of the next age. We are soldiers in a war, and we must make harsh decisions, for our future survival.”

William pauses for a moment to take a drink, “Baselines and their elite pawns condemn as terrorists. But they will only make martyrs out of us, crucify us, and others will rally to our cause, the truth will be exposed, when the war begins, and we are their only salvation. Simply put the world belongs to us, the baselines just do not know it, yet.”

Sachana chimed in, “No we do not condone Neuro’s actions, and you take my words the wrong way. His methods were effective, if not base, and I meant that he was quite skilled at what he did.”

Sunmi speaks dryly, “He was a heretic, and a fool, his death only strengthens our cause. The same fate was nearly yours Phoenix, but you have seen the light, now only time will tell if your resolve will match your convictions.”

Rei gulped, “Yeah, I am your side, honest.”

William smiled, “Good, now does that begin to sate the blossoming curiosity in your mind, Miss Mitchell?”

 

[Hammerhead]

Why exactly did I want him on our side again? What was I thinking? Ryan asks himself. Farewell, Jimmy, Ryan thinks and crosses himself, bracing for Anika's response.

Kal gives Karen a squeeze, “Want to take a flight over the lake?” he says with a smirk.

Karen takes a sip of his cup, taking her time to taste it before discreetly spitting it out over the side "You actually like this taste? Ugh. It's so bitter," she says with a sour expression, "I got this like package deal, I think I'm pretty much invulnerable, I don't need to like breath or sleep, but I can't swallow any food or drink either. It's pretty cool to be invulnerable and stuff but somethings I do miss."

"Sure, i'd love that. It must be so cool to be able to fly around all the time. I can jump really high but the staying in the air part I still need to learn." she answers with a playful smile.

Kal shrugs, "I barely taste it anymore, it is cool and refreshing, the whole getting drunk thing is overrated as it is. But then again," he scoops her up easily, and takes flight high into the sky, "there are better things to pay attention to then beer right?"

He carries high into the sky to get a good look at the forested terrain, the rolling hills, and the gentle starlit sky overhead, "Yeah this world isn't too bad, this whole area is desert where I am from, the future is really cool, err your world, your world being the... whatever," he laughs.

"You guys have it pretty good here, the money, the glamour, wow, I am just stunned. The only rich people I knew personally was Danger Girl, and uhh Miracle Gi- err Aris. Man that Yoshi guy knows how to live," he says before looking back to Karen, "But I like what we do, you know? Teen Justice that is, I feel like I am making a difference and not just being a slacker."

"Well at least you didn't try to tell me that Pantheon thought Mexico city was a bad thing, that would be too close to a lie. It pushed through mandatory registration, which will in turn drive elites who just want to be left alone to you guys to get away from it." the popstar says with her golden eyes twinkling. She shrugs at Sachana's explination,

"I suppouse so, but If I had run into him with you I would have done everything I could to kill him. That she killed him is more of a reason for me to want to join you, not less, if he had done his work as well as you seem to think, I would still be in love with him, like I was when he was fully inside my mind."

She looks back at William, "Well, I guess I am satisfied, well only if Sunmi isn't planning on making me a martyr too." she says grinning at her.
