Generation Legacy Issue #7 "Innocence Lost" - Part 1

[Tokiwong]

"Wha... What happened, I remember Phase shooting me, but... where... What? What blast? Is Tommy ok? Yea, take me to him." she says, sounding a little disjointed and disoriented. She slides gingerly out of the bed and raises, wincing as she shifts her body about. She takes a few test steps, and she cradles her arm hissing in pain, taking care not to swing her arm about she takes a few more steps and gives a small nod to show Smith that she was ready to be taken to Tommy. She gives a small sigh at the sight of her dress coated in blood, but she follows Smith without another word, seemingly lost in thought.

Mr. Smith nods, and leads Kelly down a long hall, where people in white uniforms pass they glace at her, some recognizing hr, but they se Mr. Smith and say nothing. The hall opens into a large room, which looks like a factory, very clean, efficient, and high tech. She can see that they are building more of the androids.

Mr. Smith though does not pause and brings Kelly pass some checkpoints into a large circular room, which resembles both an office and a domicile. At its center is a circular desk of computer terminals and monitors, sitting in the center is Tommy, wearing more relaxed clothes.

He stands, seeing Kelly, “You are awake. Mr. Smith leave us, I have a few things I need to talk to Kelly about.”

Once Mr. Smith exits, Tommy speaks, “I am sorry about that, I had no idea Phase was on my tail. This is not the date I had planned, not at all,” he smiles, “I hate to think I put your life on the line. I had my suite destroyed, and for now, I would rather have the press think I died in that blast for the time being. Might throw off my enemies, don’t worry about your image, I kept your presence a secret.”

Tommy sighs, “I guess you have some questions though,” he says embracing Kelly from behind holding her close, “I hope you will trust me though.”

Ryan inwardly smiles, glad that Yoshi's outburts had been curtailed. If Mark hadn't intervened, he might have lashed out again. "We're going to have to assume that a fight will break out. From what we know, Strength is much like our own Jimmy Li: super strong and tough," Ryan explains.

"Thus, Mark's punches and my own energy blasts are likely to be ineffective against the gangster." Ryan then looks at Anika. "Do you have any spells to take him out? I figure if we can distract this guy and his thugs long enough, Anika can hit him with something nasty."

"Hopefully without wrecking the place around us," Mark adds. "I don't want to get in a fight with him in a place with a lot of people around to get hurt if we can avoid it."

Kelly normally would have been looking around at everything as she made her way through the hallss, but she only concetrated on not moving her arms, and not moving too fast too avoid having to whimper in pain. She does take note of the fact that they are making Star Bots, but she is mostly conctrating on liming after Smith.

She follows the butler into Tommy's office, or maybe its his room, no matter, for the girl's attention is entirely on the Teen sitting at the desk. She smiles at Tommy, and thanks Smith before the elderly gentleman leaves.

"Tommy, its not your fault, you couldn't have known she'd just attack out of nowhere. It is kind of my fault to, If I had been just a little faster I would have had my Air shield all the way up, or I could have hit her with a lightning bolt or something. Its really not your fault, its no ones fault but hers, besides, when you did that, when you made her solid, you save me, you saved my life. Some super-hero I am." she says with a sigh.

"I told you before I care about you, not about what the media is gonna say, I was just being really silly. Besides, people know I was with you, I don't care what they think, if they need to think we are dead, we can be dead."

When Tommy holds her, Kelly's breath quickens, ignoring the pain, she puts her head back to lay on Tommy's shoulder. She turns her hand and Kisses him on the cheek, the best she can do from the angle with the stiffness and soreness that she is feeling. "With my life." is her soft reply.

Yoshi sighs, glancing to Anika, “Man you always have to be a kill joy, huh? What if I like really like Cassie and stuff, you know? Sure I like her because she fills out a dress like nobodies business, but if I am wrong for liking hot chicks, then sue me.”

"Yoshi, if you liked Cassie, you'd respect her and not talk about her like some Cracker Jack prize," Anika responds.

Star smiles to Anika, “Thank you for clarifying, most likely then Yoshi’s spending is just overcompensating for his more obvious shortcomings…” she says aloud.

Anika giggles at that. "Staaar...you think it's obvious? I guess we could always ask Cassandra..." she says with a smirk Yoshi's way.

Ryan inwardly smiles, glad that Yoshi's outburts had been curtailed. If Mark hadn't intervened, he might have lashed out again. "We're going to have to assume that a fight will break out. From what we know, Strength is much like our own Jimmy Li: super strong and tough," Ryan explains.

"Hey, if he's big and dumb like Jimmy, this will be a piece of cake," Anika says matter-of-factly. "And I have a question, Mark. Why isn't John here? We could have used his mind reading capabilities. I might be able cover that, but it's not a prayer I've encanted much; we could have used him."

 

[Agamon]

"Hopefully without wrecking the place around us," Mark adds. "I don't want to get in a fight with him in a place with a lot of people around to get hurt if we can avoid it."

"Of course. If we're going to take him down, we'll need to hit him where it hurts the most: in the head...mind, by head, I meant mind..." Anika says, rolling her eyes. "Don't worry, Mark. We'll show Justice Elite how to do this with minimal collateral damage, right?" she adds with a smile and wink.

"Hey, if he's big and dumb like Jimmy, this will be a piece of cake," Anika says matter-of-factly. "And I have a question, Mark. Why isn't John here? We could have used his mind reading capabilities. I might be able cover that, but it's not a prayer I've encanted much; we could have used him."

"I couldn't get him. McCallister needed some of us to stay back for some UN bussiness," Mark shrugged. "Too short notice to cancel, I guess. We'd be doing this tomorrow if he didn't let me out of a meeting I'm supposed to be in. That's what I was talking to him about in his office."

Oh yeah, and how the UN wants to control our numbers because we've got some kind of plague. But I can't tell you about that. Or the sterilizations.

Karen rolls total roll of 21 to strike, and hits. Kal rolls an 8, and then uses VP to reroll and gets a total roll of 18. He is fine, and takes no damage.

Karen slams her crystalline fist into Kal's chest, and causes him to brace for the blow, and then lash out by trying to grab her, and engage in a grapple! But his strike misses, as Karen ducks back from his attack.

Round 2: Kal rolls an attack of 15 and misses his attack completely.

Karen's eyes widen when Kal just takes her punch.

"Whoa," she quickly ducks away under Kal's arms, trying to get in a quick kick at his legs.

Yoshi shrugs, "Hey between what we got, we should be able to mop up Strength quick, I mean, he is super strong and tough right? That is an easy combo to deal with, you guys with them funky blasts, hang back and blast him, Mark and I, keep him occupied, and then Anika does her Norse Witchy thing, bingo, one jacked up elite, and then we are home in time for Dinner."

"I think that is a gross generalization," Star replies, "caution may be advised before you engage."

The pilot calls over the Comm line, "Mr. McNamara, whenever you are ready sir."

Kelly

“Well that is a good attitude to have,” Tommy leads Kelly to a comfortable sofa, “have a seat and relax. I tried to do my best to cover my tracks if there was a second party, which I am sure there was, because the elevator does not just stop on its own, we need to make it look like she may or may not have succeeded. It does not sit well with me, that her body has yet to be found either, that just leaves too many loose ends.”

“But it is one of the impacts of having wealth and power, people will do anything they can to make you part ways with your hard earned success,” he paces as he speaks, “right now we are at one of my secure factories, this location is quite secure, it is essentially a miscellaneous line item in my budget, this is where I spend much of time when I am not at the Institute.”

“I hope you don’t mind if we lay low here for awhile, if you want to go home, then you can. If that is your choice, I just have to take certain precautions that this location remains a secret,” he finishes.

“Although I would prefer for you to stay,” he adds with a simple wave of his hand.

Karen

Karen kicks Kal hard in his shins, but it does not seem to affect the super tough, otherworldly hero. Kal replies, “Awesome, you’re tough, we could definitely use someone like you on our team!”

Kal knees Karen in the chest, but her resilient body, easily absorbs the blow, and she is no worse for the wear!

Round 3: Karen rolls a total strike of 25, and hits but Kal rolls a total damage save of 23. Kal strikes Karen with a roll of 22, but Karen makes damage save with a 22 as well. So one is grievously hurt this round.

Karen grins, dropping her guard all too easily, "You mean that?"

She staggers back from Kal's hit creating some room between them before she rushes at Kal trying to grab him and force him down on the floor.
