Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

[Hammerhead]

Ryan allowed himself no time for rest. Even after the evacuation of the shattered nightclub was completed, Ryan flew to each of the seriously injured, administering healing by reforming their tissue and organs. Ryan wasn't so busy though that he couldn't spare a few acidic glances towards Paragon and the rest of Justice Elite. He then noticed Kelly chatting with Anika.

What the heck is she doing here? What is Kelly doing, tagging along with the Justice Elite? Heck, she probably flew in like me. You're being too hard on her. Ryan sighs, and wipes the tears running from his eyes. Although his respiratory system was immune to the effects of smoke, his eyes were not.

"Its hard not to have some sympathy for them, I know some base-lines that make them look positively benign, though they fall under the label of agent and record label so I guess that excuses them." jokes the popstar to cover the disdain she is feeling for Paragon. She sighs at his next question to her.

"Yea, I do have an idea on who he was, my date, actually." she says shifting some rubble with her boot. "His name is Rei, he is, or was, a student at the institute. He wasn't planing on joining them though. He was given a choice that he couldn't refuse, as that old saying goes. The same went for me, but it was implied that it would be next time we met that I would be offered the choice of joining them. And no, I did not know Rei was planning on meeting them there before we went, I just wanted to hit a club." She looks over the wreckage with an ironic grin, "Consider it hit."

"Your not so bad yourself Redline, I take back half the things I said about you, not sure on the rest yet." she says sticking out her tongue at the older woman playfully. She does grimace slightly at Paragon's giving Anika a verbal pat on the back, she didn't do a quarter of what I did in there and shes the one on Legacy and getting the congrats, the popstar thinks sulkily.

Paragon thought for a moment and then replied, “Redline hit up the Institute, get everything you can on this Rei, your best bet would be Tommy McKain. He seems to have his pulse on all things elite.”

Redline saluted, “Roger that J, be back in a flash,” she winked, and then was gone in a blur, down the road. Leaving behind only a vapor trail where she once stood.

Meanwhile as Ryan helps people, and heals them he gets multiple thanks, from the people, and the paramedics who watch the cosmic elite move and heal with wonder. The people are awe struck by his appearance, and many mutter that he must be an angel of mercy and peace. As he finishes the last of the wounded nearest to him, a car pulls up short at the police line, and he sees Mr. McCallister get out, wearing a long coat, and his customary cane in hand.

He walks towards Ryan, “I figured I would find you here, is Anika safe? What about Kelly, I just saw Redline blur right by me. This evening could have gone better, Jun Min is on the way to the hospital, and Mark is currently in critical condition, whatever happened to him, it was bad.”

Paragon glanced to see his old teammate pull up and looked back to the girls, as the news reporters from CNN and several local networks approached. “Please excuse me,” as he approached the camera with practiced poise and grace as he explained the situation.

Ryan looked up, seeing Mr. McCallister. "Hello. Anika and Kelly are relatively safe at the moment, and the scene's mostly been contained. Has the school sent someone to Yoshi's party? If they attacked Mark, they could easily attack them too. I was thinking of catching an ambulance over to Mark's hospital." And now I think I know who the spy is. After having a little chat with Jimmy, I'm pretty sure it isn't him. And Tommy knew where we were going, and Star probably helped Mark survive. He's just a little kid obsessed with elites and computer games anyway. That leaves probably one person. James isn't going to be happy...

After finishing with his healing, he follows Mr. McCallister.

Mr. McCallister grumbled, "I was not aware of the little party, Ryan, as much as I think you want to be here they need to be warned, get over there as fast as you can, and get them back to the Institute, as in yesterday. I am trusting you to get them back safe and sound."

 

[Hammerhead]

I can heal dozens of people, saving them from serious injury or even death, and now Mr. McCallister is trusting me to get Yoshi and his little party back to the Institute safe and sound, yet I'm not trusted to join the UN's little teen group? Ryan thinks bitterly as he flies straight up. But Mr. McCallister trusts you, obviously, and he's smarter than anyone on that committee. Sighing, Ryan prepares himself for breaking the sound barrier for the second time today. This is starting to wear me out, even if it's only for a couple of seconds.

He then flies across the sky, leaving a glowing purple trail as he stops, hovering above the lake.

OOC: How far away is the lake from downtown? I can get about 8 miles each round of sprinting, and I'm willing to spend all my Hero Points to get there (I have 3 left). Also, when you Extra Effort Super Flight, does it last for an hour, or just one round of sprinting?

Kal shrugs, and takes Karen by the hand, "Come on, there has to be a trail around here somewhere," he lead her into the woods, "I mean I would hope so right?" he says jokingly.

"We can always make our own." Karen says lashing out at a vine with her free hand, easily cutting through it.

"What are the odds that he tries to shift the blame on this fiasco?" Kelly murmurs to Anika as she watches Paragon descend on the cameras. She sighs before moving off to stand beside McCallister. "I see what you mean about not being super-heros, a hero would have made sure that there were no innocents around to be hurt when they attacked the badguys. Paragon didn't wait, and he and Atlas and Redline jumped Pantheon in a crowded building killing 40 something people and injuring god knows how many more. Theres something I don't get Mr. McCallister, everything I did in there, while not direct attacks on Pantheon saved lives, I mean I had the fires almost out before the Aerodyne crashed, and then I held the roof together and made supports to hold it up. All that stuff was protecting the people in there, but it seemed like Paragon was more interested in attacking Pantheon then helping the people hurt by the fight he picked. I mean I understand now what you meant about not being hot-headed and jumping into things, and I'll do my best not to since I can see just how easy it is to hurt base-lines can be hurt by all this, but why did the JE attack Pantheon here?"

"I mean Pantheon was leaving peacefully, not causing any harm to anyone in the club, and boom the JE show up and start a fight and all those people die and then like so many more get hurt, not to mention all the property damage. Aren't Paragon and the others responsible for all of this stuff that happened?" Kelly asks the teacher earnestly, the facade of arrogance and pride rent away by the emotions that the fight and everything that had happened.

 

[Agamon]

Anika is intially shocked to hear Kelly tell her JE started this fight. But she smiles shyly at Paragon's praise, and being tired, both mentally and physically, accepts his explanation without doubt. She watches as Ryan flies off for the lake and sighs. "Well, this night officially sucks. she thinks, frowning. "Listen to me, poor Mark's in the hospital, and all these people...

She follows Kelly to Mr. McCallister. "Kelly, I'm sure there was a good reason for what happened here tonight. Something must be going down, that's the only reason they'd confront these guys here, right, Mr. McCallister?" she says wearily.

Cassie let's her hair out and leans back, laughing as she drives her boat across the lake. "This is so much fun isn't it?" she asks the others as she glances back at them.
