Generation Legacy: Issue #6

[Samnell]

"No, he's right, Mark. We'd better stick together. We may currently be hunting, but for all we know, we're still being hunted, too." She looks back at him. "So, that slut was doing coke last night? Unbelievable. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. Good decision on not joining her. The team sure doesn't need the negative publicity before we even do anything. And trust me, nothing good comes from that crap." She laughs. "Sorry, I'm getting all preachy, aren't I?"

"It's ok," Mark says quietly. "It was more than coke, though. She said it was laced with some extra stuff." And damn could I ever use some of it right now.

Star smiles, “I think there is enough already, perhaps I can look through Tommy’s files and find something good for us.” She says, “Be careful Mark, don’t get hurt again.”

"That'd be great, Star. I'll be ok with these guys. I mean even if we get banged up, Dr. Ryan's with us to fix it." So long as nothing happens to him, Mark thought grimly. That guy didn't have any problems taking down Star and made Mark look like he needed training wheels on his powers.

The Yard

As the girls chat, Arafina approaches with her friends, she smiles warmly, “So is this going to be part of the standard curriculum now, beating each other senseless?” she asks with a wry smile.

Lisa giggles, “Oh the way Charlotte got pounded that was so unfair.”

Yoko shrugs, “Yeah but it wiped that smug smile off her face,” she adds with a wicked smile.

Arafina sighs, “She got jumped by Cassie, if it was not for her, and the walking fortune cookie would have been done for. Charlotte was just about to make her move, right Charlotte?”

The Garage

Yoshi just winked to Anika, “Sure, I will keep my mind out of the gutter, I promise.”

Billy sighed, “Believe it when I see it.”

Yoshi shrugged, “Yeah Star,” he turned to look at her, “we got the man with the magic hands to patch us up. We can call him Dr. Feelgood, as his codename. Speaking of which I have been trying to figure out a good codename for myself, I mean we got what Comet, Valkyrie, and Paladin right? What about you Mark got anything cool, still toying with ideas. Though I may just roll with Yoshi, I don’t need no stinking codename. Right?”

Billy sighs, “You sure like to hear yourself talk, buddy.”

Star just giggles, and waves as she turns to leave.

"I never really thought about it," Mark says. "Are we expected to have one?"

"Guinea pigs huh?" Kelly asks with a sigh. "Why don't I think we'll enjoy being the test rodents?" the popstar asks with a grin, although it fades as she thinks about what the others are doing. Even if she wasn't a member of Legacy, she still wanted to help out Mark, Anika, and Ryan with Brass Orchid.

"Cassie, how do you handle it? I mean, you must want to go with Legacy as much as I do, I mean Yoshi's going, so of course you want to go, if only to make sure he's alright."

Cassie shrugs. "I'm not sure that my prior actions in the field qualifies me as a suitable canidate for the Legacy, and to be honest, after the actions that followed Mexico City, I am not sure that it would be in the best interest of an Elite to actually join an UN team." shrugs. "Not to metion my comments on line and with others in the US aren't in line wiht the current outlook by the UN on the Elites." looks around. "I think that registration is a mistake.. so, I'm sure that my chances of making the Legacy team about nil at this point. I haven't said much to Yoshi about this becaus he thinks it's a phase." smiles gently. "I might be going overboard.. it's kind of hard to stay grounded when you have no past actions or history to act on for what is proper. So, for now I am just looking for training in my talents, and an education. " looks to her. "I am not even sure that I would accept a postion at this point." Looks around for the others, and seems eager to get on with the 'exercise.'

Ryan was quickly growing annoyed with other passengers in the car. I am not a doctor. I do not have 'magic hands.' I don't know how my powers work, but they do, and that's all I care about. "Quite frankly, Yoshi, I think you might need a new name. After all, Nintendo's copyrighted it since it's a video game character. Maybe Ace, or Tornado, Whirlwind, Cyclone, something like that, given your powers."

Ryan then drives the Jeep away from the school, driving carefully and obeying the traffic laws. "I hate the idea of stupid little codenames in the first place. My name's Ryan, not Comet or some other comic book name."

How the heck did Billy know about the gas tank? He wasn't there...Jimmy must have told him. "So is just Legacy going to be handling this, or are we going to recruit some of our more experienced schoolmates, like Kal, Jimmy, and Aris?"

Yoshi cracks a smile, "Damn that may suck, but screw codenames, your right Ryan, Yoshi is all I need. Hey Jimmy may want to help, but he can be a jackass, at times. Aris is pretty hot for a blue-skinned elite, and kal seems pretty cool, he can play some football too. No reason to not bring them into the mix, right?"

Billy nods, "Jimmy is cool, I am surprised he is still here, he was all set to leave, glad he stuck around. He isn't too bad once you get to know him."

"Thanks, I'm still not so sure how things would have turned out-honestly." Charlotte says to Arafina, sullenly, "But what's done is done...I lost, that's all there is to it. I'm just hoping there will be a round two."

And next time I thin I'll care less about appearance and flare. She thinks.

"So...uh, don't be afraid to tell us how you really feel, Ryan," Mark jokes feebly. Guess I'm not the only one who could use something.

How the heck did Billy know about the gas tank? He wasn't there...Jimmy must have told him. "So is just Legacy going to be handling this, or are we going to recruit some of our more experienced schoolmates, like Kal, Jimmy, and Aris?"

"I'll take any help we can get," Mark answers. "I mean we already have Star working on Tommy's files and Kelly involved."

"What? I'm serious. I hate to go all Cassie on everyone, but why use codenames at all? To protect our privacy, like in Batman? Yeah, right. For radio transmissions? Who cares! The real reason the UN is such a stickler about these stupid things is that it dehumanizes us. I'm not Ryan Praloski, the eighteen year old kid who discovered that he could do amazing things like two months ago during a precalc exam, I'm this invincible superhero Comet." Ryan tries to sound as reasonable as possible, despite the far-out conspiracy he's suggesting.

"Although I am in favor of bringing along some others, at least to secure a perimeter. Kal and Jimmy are pretty tough, but I could take them," Ryan asserts, smiling confidently, but half-joking. And I can take this Honor guy too, solo.

Mark looks askance at Ryan. Am I sure I'm the only one here with a drug history? "Aren't you taking this a little too seriously? I mean it's not like they're branding us with numbers... I mean it could be cool..." Realizing he wasn't being very convincing, Mark gave up.
