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

[Tokiwong]

"I had some sort of deja vu episode at the mall, and followed up them up." pulls out her print outs and lays out what she found on the company. "The more I look, the more the deja vu hits. So, should I investigate this or let the school handle it? And.. well, no one has told me anything about what they found out about me?"

Jun Min smiles, “I am sorry these past few days have been crazy,” she looks over the information, “wow you have been doing some research. We really did not have much to go off of, Cassie. But it looks like you may have something here. This is great Cassie. I think this matter affects both you and the school, why don’t we work together on this issue? Why don’t we go over first thing in the morning. Does that sound good?”

Mark

Paragon nods listening, “Well for the moment, Jun Min should be handling that, at least until a permanent solution can be found. I would suggest you keep me abreast if you hear anything about Bryant, he is considered dangerous at this time. Listen, Mark if you need anything, contact me directly. I want you to know you can come to me for anything,” he sounds genuine and sincere, “Good luck with Strength. Paragon out.”

The image goes dead.

Karen

“Aris can learn to deal with is,” Kal replies with a generous smile, “besides I would feel better if you were with us, but it could get dangerous. But you are pretty dangerous, yourself.”

"Well that's a first, no one has ever called me dangerous before," she says, a wide smile on her face.

Kal turns and whispers to her, “Aris thinks that the Red Witch may be working with a company called Vanguard Secure Computing, or something like that. While I was out with you last night patrolling, she was doing a little detective work of her own.”

Kal starts walking motioning for Karen to follow, “So the plan is simple, we bust in their, find the Red Witch. We find her, we have a good shot in tracking down Genocide, and then its payback time, and hopefully find a way back to my own reality…”

“Leave it to Kal to over simplify things,” Aris says floating down behind Kal and Karen, “if she is going I have to rethink the plan, but… we have a better chance of surviving, I mean succeeding.”

Kal cracks a smile, “Sweet, tonight is head bashing time.”

"You don't sound very positive. I take it they won't just let us walk in and have a nice, friendly talk with this Red Witch," Karen looks worried, "What was your plan up to now?"

Kelly looks confused as the lightning smashes into the walls and causes the plaster to explode outward. "Wha...what the hell is going on? I just hit you, I saw it hit you." she screams in anger at the apparition. She looks at Tommy worriedly and then back to Neuro.

"Your not...I'm not a puppet...stop calling me puppet...I'm not a toy." she screams, and swings out at Neuro as he leans in to kiss her. When he disappears, she seems to crumple in on herself as she sighs in relief, pulling the covers around her on the bed. "Why...Why is this all happening to me, its not fair, why can't he go bug someone else?" she asks of no one in particular.

When Tommy starts trying to reassure her, she looks up at him and interrupts, "Tommy, he was here, Neuro was standing right there, he was watching me...watching us...he said he loved the show I put on for him last night... If I hurry up and have a quick shower, can we get him out of my head sooner?... I want all of this to stop I don't want him to alwaays be standing there watching us, watching me."

When Tommy starts trying to reassure her, she looks up at him and interrupts, "Tommy, he was here, Neuro was standing right there, he was watching me...watching us...he said he loved the show I put on for him last night... If I hurry up and have a quick shower, can we get him out of my head sooner?... I want all of this to stop I don't want him to alwaays be standing there watching us, watching me."

Tommy nods, “Sure, get cleaned up and I will have Mr. Smith arrange it all. I hope this helps.” He puts on some slippers and stands stretching, he yawns. Tommy has a lean body, with a decent build, and somewhat average height. He walks to the door shirtless, and leaves Kelly alone to get cleaned up.

Once she finishes, he returns with a portly woman, with short dark hair in a business suit. She waddles after Tommy, and behind her is Mr. Smith and two of the Star Androids. The androids flank the woman, and the woman takes a seat.

Tommy walks over to Kelly, “Alright, lets get this started. Miss Orville here is a renowned psychologist with some interesting elite powers. Hopefully she can help you, I am not sure if this one session will do it, but for the cost, it should,” he winks trying to comfort her.

He leads Kelly over to the woman, and takes a seat. The woman smiles and greets Kelly, “Why hello Miss Mitchell, your reputation precedes you, I am pleased to meet you, your music is fantastic,” she fawns for a moment. Then collects herself, “I hope to get to the root of your issue, but I must warn you, my methods are unorthodox and combine my training and knowledge with my powers.”

“Shall we begin?” she questions.

Karen

Aris rolls her eyes at Kal, “Thank you Kal for raising the bar once more on your idiocy.”

Kal shrugs, “I aim for excellence.”

“Karen to answer your question,” Aris says entering her room, “we were going to fly in, bust our way in, and well just work our way to Red Witch, or at least one of the more secure offices inside the compound at the VSC building. As you can see, I let Kal do the majority of the planning.”

Kal smirks, “Hey its effective.”

“Perhaps but not all that surgical, but then gain we have to work with what we have. We don’t have too many options, we only have what we got. If we had all of Young Justice, then sure Kal, we could go that route. I just think we need to use more caution. But I don’t have any ideas either, so it may just be us three under cover of darkness, bashing our way to Red Witch. Not a plan I endorse whole-heartedly, but if we act fast enough, it is one we can accomplish, rather quickly. Of course once we find Red Witch… well that could get ugly.”

Kal shrugs, “What is the worst that could happen.”

Aris replies, “We could die. I think we need to postpone just a day more to fully plan this out, Karen you have any ideas? I doubt there is anyone else that could help us,” she sighs.

Jun Min smiles, “I am sorry these past few days have been crazy,” she looks over the information, “wow you have been doing some research. We really did not have much to go off of, Cassie. But it looks like you may have something here. This is great Cassie. I think this matter affects both you and the school, why don’t we work together on this issue? Why don’t we go over first thing in the morning. Does that sound good?”

Cassie

Cassie wilts a bit at the delay. "I was hoping that something had been brought up abut me. I do know that some of my opinions are the reason I most likely wasn't chosen for the team, but I do hope that UN and the school administation still plans to aid me in finding out who I am like they promised." shakes her head. "I'm sorry.. that came off too pushy, but I've not heard anything about me from anyone since I reported here and .. well I feel like the administation has written me off as something not worth looking over."

"You might be right Aris. I don't know very much about VSC, but I've heard that they're security is pretty good. I doubt Red Witch is the only Elite in that building. Maybe someone else at the school knows more about them," Karen shrugs, "maybe we could get into the building using a cover or something."

ooc: I can't remember if Karen knows anything about Cassie's quest on VSC, if she does I'll edit my post.

When Tommy is walking away Kelly can't help but think that he looks much more muscular and fit without the shirt, like he's just acting like a nerd or something to fool people, well, he can't fool me anymore, and that yummy body of his is all mine, she thinks to herself, before climbing her way out of the sheets she is entwined in. She heads directly into the shower, not needing to disrobe, just turning it on at its hottest, and stepping under the water jets.

She moves quickly, washing her perfectly tanned body with intense motions, as if she is trying to scrub Neuro off her skin, she pays particular attention to where she had felt him licking the night before as well as where he had blown her the kiss. Despite the intense, almost obsessive way she was washing herself, it was still her quickest shower ever, unlike most people, she would never have to worry about pruning up so she always took her time and luxuriated. When she steps out of the shower, as was her ritual, she called the winds to dry her off, and to fix her hair.

Once she is dry, she starts to investigate the room, looking for something that she could wear since all of her clothes had been destroyed, she settles on a pair of Tommy's Pajama bottoms with the string pulled as tight as it could go, and a T-shirt that turned out to be over-sized, at least on her and fell to her thighs, making her look like an 8 year old playing dress up.

When Tommy enters with the Doctor and his entourage, se smiles shyly at him, and indicates the pajamas, "I hope you don't mind, all my clothes got ruined." she tells him. She seats herself across from the doctor and watches her intently, when the doctor asks if she is ready to begin, she nods. "I...I think you should know that I saw Neuro standing here this morning, he was telling me stuff, and well, I kind of got Mad and threw a lightning bolt at him," she says pointing at the scorch marks.

Cassie

Cassie wilts a bit at the delay. "I was hoping that something had been brought up abut me. I do know that some of my opinions are the reason I most likely wasn't chosen for the team, but I do hope that UN and the school administation still plans to aid me in finding out who I am like they promised." shakes her head. "I'm sorry.. that came off too pushy, but I've not heard anything about me from anyone since I reported here and .. well I feel like the administation has written me off as something not worth looking over."

“Whoa, slow down Cassie, we did not have much to go off of. You sort of just popped onto the Earth and given your unique future, history whatever, I am surprised we found anything at all. We have a lead now, I want to help you, but its Sunday, I am pretty sure, many offices are closed today especially for visits. We go first thing in the morning, and we will get some answers, I promise, ok?” Jun Min replies.

“We did not forget about you, but your case is on a whole different level then anything, I am used to dealing with,” she sighs, “I am sorry it has just been a trying weekend, and today sucks even more.”

Karen

“Sure a cover maybe, or we get some schematics and look them over,” Aris sighs, “but damn it, I don’t know much about hacking. Maybe Kal is right, we just bust in there.. although I refuse to believe he is right, there is a slight possibility he could be.”

Kal shrugs, “Hey, I just try and keep it simple.”

“Maybe we should just try the informant, I have been in contact with,” Aris replies.

Kal winces, “I don’t know, that smells of a trap, we don’t know much about this person, besides them saying they know something about Red Witch and want to help us. It just smells like a trap.”

Aris nods, “But it may be our best bet, if it is a trap, then we can handle it I am sure, especially with Karen there. He wants to meet face to face, I have been putting it off, but we need to do something, I just have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen soon.”

Kal nods, “Sure, if it’s a trap, I can just say I told you so.”

Kelly

The woman smiles, “Of course,” she sighs and places her hands on Kelly’s temples, “this may feel slightly strange.”

Then there is bright light.

Kelly finds herself on a cliff face overlooking the sea. The wind is blowing on her skin, and she is dressed in a white dress, which billows in the wind. At her side is a young girl, perhaps at the age of five or six, carrying a doll. She has curly black hair, and is wearing a similar dress to Kelly.

She looks up to Kelly with her ocean blue eyes and smiles, “Hello Kelly, we are inside what I like to call a mindscape. Your psyche is connected to mine, and although you will be my guide, I can control the mindscape in case things go, horribly, horribly wrong.”

She whispers, “But we are not alone. I felt a second distinct presence in your mind. You are right, Neuro is inside your mind, and perhaps we can find a way to flush him out. I hope we can. I am sure you have questions for me…”

She whispers, “But we are not alone. I felt a second distinct presence in your mind. You are right, Neuro is inside your mind, and perhaps we can find a way to flush him out. I hope we can. I am sure you have questions for me…”

Kelly takes a deep breath as the Doctor puts her hands onto her head. "Whats gonna..." but thats as far as she got before the light swallowed her, and she found herelf drifting for a moment. When she opens her eyes and sees the Seascape, she blinks confusedly, uncomprehending. When she hears the the young girl, she looks at the child and smiles.

She looks puzzeled by the term mindscape, "Whats a mindscape, is that like my thoughts?" she asks the doctor curiously. At the mention of Neuro actually being really here and not just a figment of her imagination, she cringes and seems to be diminished. "Can he come here and get us? Are we safe here?" she asks the Doctor, looking about nervously, for any hint of Neuro.

 

[Karl Green]

James tries to pay attention during the briefing by Pramoj about Strength. He is worried about what happened to Tommy and Kelly, but he wants to be a value to the team so he takes notes on his PDA and studies the location, different faces. When the briefing is over James will ask Pramoj if they have a medical facility on base and if he can go there, he needs to study and try and memorize the location in case anyone needs a quick medical t-port evace. James will also ask for and satellite city maps and study different locations around town that he can get to in one extended teleport.

And while James is very worried about Kiyana he tries not to show it… man this is hard all this super-hero stuff… my friends and those I love could get hurt… or worst… I had better stick close to her, even though she can take care of herself and could take me in a fight with both hands tied behind her back… [/b]
