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

[Tokiwong]

"You ... you're kidding right?" Karen looks at Aris, hoping that it's just a bad joke to scare her, because she succeeded, "She's not really that powerful, is she?"

When Kal opens the door, Karen is still looking very worried, "Hey Kal, did you find Jimmy? ... Oh hey Jimmy ... and Cassie, you're going to help too?" Karen looks a bit more hopeful, "Aris was just filling me in on Red Witch. You could have warned me that she once ruled hell."

Kal laughs uneasily, “Oh yeah the Zombie King… that was a little nasty. I mean beating on zombies, was bad enough but then the Zombie King was just downright, pretty tough, and tried to make Danger Girl his bride… it was sick.”

Aris nods, “I am sorry if I scared you Karen, but yes she ruled Hell for a brief time, and nearly swallowed the Earth into her realm. Thankfully Hades was freed, she was imprisoned, and all was well, till she returned with the Staff of Mephisto.”

Kal shrugs, “Yeah it was a wild ride though, and I got to meet Athena, and she is so cool, Goddess of Wisdom and Kicking ass!”

Aris rolls her eyes, “Yeah you are just so deep.”

Jimmy blinks, “Yeah… you two are about as weird as Anika and her Norse Gods… freaks.”

Kal blinks, “She knows Thor? Dude he is pretty cool, a bit of a hothead though.”

Jimmy raises an arched brow, “Yeah… so as to this plan?”

James nods his agreement as much as he hates to admit it to what Yoshi is saying. He adds "Well I'm not sure how many 'innocents' are going to be in this bar, but we should try and minimize to much damage, but this guy is pretty powerful... it an't going to be easy to take him out in the best of circumstances.” James nods to what Ryan is saying and adds “Yea Anika, how about seeing through walls, or something like ‘remote-viewing’? If we could get an idea of what it looks like inside the bar, and maybe you could do that thingy where you take over my body or something and we could teleport right to where he is and get the jump on him… just a thought.”

Kelly, gives a small sigh at the mention of her apparent death, and how everyone is looking for her killer. "I told you I trusted you and would stay with you as long as you need to make sure we are both safe, and nothings gonna change that. I love you, and that means I'll trust you no matter, nothings gonna change that." she says sweetly, kissing him. "If letting everyone think we are both gone is what it takes, then thats what it takes. I just hope Mom and Dad don't get too sad before the JE catches whoever was with Phase." she says looking slightly worried for her parent's feelings, but it quickly passes as her tummy gives a little gurgle, and she realizes she hasn't had anything to eat for at least 2 days.

"Tommy, do you think maybe we could have that dinner that we were gonna have the other day? Its kinda been a while since I had anything to eaten, and my tummy is unhappy with me now." she says, rubbing her tummy over Tommy's borrowed shirt.

"Tommy, do you think maybe we could have that dinner that we were gonna have the other day? Its kinda been a while since I had anything to eaten, and my tummy is unhappy with me now." she says, rubbing her tummy over Tommy's borrowed shirt.

Tommy nods, "I figured you would be hungry, I usually just eat in here." H stands up speaking, "SARAH have some breakfast brought in, thanks."

Moments later the door opens and several androids bring in plates of food, traditional American breakfast foods, more then enough for ten people, just for the two of you.

Tommy grabs a seat at the table after helping Kelly sit, and starts eating, "I hope this is good for you, not too exotic, but I rather like hom cooking then anything all that foreign anyways, especially for breakfast. By the way you might be interested to know that Mr. McCallister has quit the UNJE, and my sources inside the UNJE report that he is suspected of working with Pantheon. I guess even great men, can fall hard," he finishes.

James nods his agreement as much as he hates to admit it to what Yoshi is saying. He adds "Well I'm not sure how many 'innocents' are going to be in this bar, but we should try and minimize to much damage, but this guy is pretty powerful... it an't going to be easy to take him out in the best of circumstances.” James nods to what Ryan is saying and adds “Yea Anika, how about seeing through walls, or something like ‘remote-viewing’? If we could get an idea of what it looks like inside the bar, and maybe you could do that thingy where you take over my body or something and we could teleport right to where he is and get the jump on him… just a thought.”

"I don't know if you and me by ourselves could 'get the jump on him,' James, especially if he's got friends like this Mistress woman. We're probably better off either drawing him out or waiting until he leaves, himself," Anika tells James. "And we're not playing the odds on this. These are human lives, not poker chips. Innocent or not, we're not judge, jury and executioner."

She turns to glare once more at Yoshi. "I don't see how you can be so flippant about this. This isn't some comic book where no one ever really dies. If you don't care what happens to some innocent bystander, then you can be the one to go and tell his wife and kids what happened afterwords."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa time out on the PMS, I am just saying, we can do our best but if things get bad, we need to grow some balls and do what needs to be done, its like for the greater good right? I am not trying to be the widow maker, but you have to make a choice. I choose to stop the bad guys now, rather then later. I am prepared to live with those consequences," Yoshi replies turning away from Anika, "it's what I am paid to do."

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan sighs, running a hand through his hair. "Yoshi's right, Anika. No matter how well we plan this thing, we put people's lives at risk. If we don't do anything, we also put Strength's future victims at risk. And the longer we stay here, or spend time gathering information, or staking out his place, the more likely Strength is to know about our attack."

"We're not the judge, jury or executioner. If it helps, think of us as cops. Police do this sort of thing. You know, raids and stuff. Sometimes people get hurt. We can't let killers think they're safe, just because they hang out with other people."

"You have SARAH here too? Thats soo cool, I really think its neat that you were able to make her, I mean, its like something my Dad would do, he's a super smart Elite like you and Doctor Hudabo, but he's kinda like absent minded professor, I mean he's always inventing stuff and doing all this important stuff, but he's not cool like you, he never remembers anything important like my concerts, or my Birthday or anything, he just gets so wrapped up in stuff, you know?" she asks Tommy, sitting indian style on her chair as she starts to dig into the food.

She eats like her tummy is a bottomless pit, practically enhaling a plate of eggs, a half dozen pieces of toast, and then a variety of fruits ranging from oranges to cantelope. She's drinking a large glass of orange juice when Tommy mentions that McCallister has quit and is suspected of being Pantheon. "No, no, I don' believe that, McCallister is a Jerk and a big meanie, but he is one of the good guys, he isn't Pantheon, the stick up his butt would have to be turned sideways for that to happen. Same with Paragon, some people are just too straight and narrow, even if they are the biggest jerks in the world, they'll never be bad."

"I am aware of your father, his work is quite revolutionary in some areas. Absent-minded," Tommy laughs, "sometimes I wish I was. My mind remembers everything, and I am constantly connected to any computerized device, so I have a ton of knowledge in my head. It can become, annoying at times..."

"You would be surprised ho many good men end up on the wrong side of the law so to speak, for their beleifs. Considering what the UNJE is into, its not all that surprising," he says between mouthfuls of bacon, "I have to agree I think McCallister is probably innocent, but maybe he isn't, and maybe he is just an innocent caught up in some complicated plan of world domination crafted by the minds of a secretive organization that controls the UNJE and the UN through force, coercion, and subterfuge..."

Tommy laughs, "I don't know, I think the world is just going crazy..."

Kal laughs uneasily, “Oh yeah the Zombie King… that was a little nasty. I mean beating on zombies, was bad enough but then the Zombie King was just downright, pretty tough, and tried to make Danger Girl his bride… it was sick.”

Jimmy blinks, “Yeah… you two are about as weird as Anika and her Norse Gods… freaks.”

Kal blinks, “She knows Thor? Dude he is pretty cool, a bit of a hothead though.”

Jimmy raises an arched brow, “Yeah… so as to this plan?”

"I-it's just a lot to drop on someone, I'm still pretty new to this Elite superhero stuff," Karen says, trying to convince herself that she's not scared at all, "You met Athena?" she continuous as curiosity starts to take over, "and Thor? I don't think Anika knows Thor personnally but I thinks she believes her powers come from the Gods or something."
