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

James smiles at Anika and says "hehe that would be pretty cool... but mostly I think that Ryan is worried about the 'civilians' that might get in the way... I mean a lot of baselines might not be much of a threat to us, but they could get hurt trying to protect this gys..."

Cassie

Jun Min pauss quizzically at Cassie's look, "Are you okay? I know you want to solve this riddle and figure out who you are, but we can't go till tomorrow, the offices will be open, and right now I am swamped with work," she sighs.

"Tell me what is bothering you?" Jun Min replies.
"I get that a lot." Cassie says, "I was never told why I wasn't approved for the team and I figured after some folks were reevaluated that I would at least be told that. Some of the folks online say it's because of my comments on registration, and well.. I don't think I really agree with the policies that the UN is espousing. I've been thinking, maybe I should leave." shakes her head. "But I have found freinds and people who don't always laugh at me. I quess you can say I'm split. Part of me wants to be part of what they are .. you know.. and another tells me that maybe I should be elsewhere." She smiles a bit shyly. "Quess basically I got a lot of doubts, everyone here seems to know what to do or say, and well I don't half the time."

"I always thought VSC was a reasonably decent multinational, well decent for as far multinationals go anyway. It's strange that they want to deal with Genocide and Red Witch. I guess they're not as clean as I thought," Karen shrugs, "What did they tell you?"

“Well VSC isn’t a bad company I guess, I don’t know some seem to think they are really bad, while others think that only certain elements are bad. I don’t really care, if they are involved with Red Witch and Genocide, then they are going down. But, we need to talk to the informant,” she leans forward and crafts a message and then sends it.

“I have never met him, so I am worried, it just seems convenient, but then again, Kal and I are strangers here. We can use any break we can get, you know,” Aris replies. She turns to Karen, “As far as what VSC has been into, nothing can be pinned down, but they have been suspected of funding several military dictatorships across the globe, providing illegal technology, and well just about anything else you can think of. But for all the times they have been in court, nothing has come of it.”

Cassie

Jun Min nods, “Alright, well I don’t think you need to worry about not saying the right thing. Your young, no one has it all together, I can promise you that. The students here are just as confused as you are, even if they don’t show it. But more importantly I would not worry about Legacy, I was no on the committee for selection, but I do know that the UNJE does not explain itself for why it does what it does. Those not selected may never know why, but you can’t let that get to you.”

She leans back in her chair, “Your views, are your views. I don’t think played much a factor in the selection Cassie. But it is pointless to worry about them, now. I don’t think you should leave, the world is dangerous for someone like you, and the UNJE wants to help you. You are just a very special case, and as I said earlier, information about you, is not exactly easy to come by. You will have to be patient, I know we will figure this out. But I need you to do one thing for me. I need you to forget about why your not on Legacy, I know it may seem like a huge deal but it isn’t, what is important is finding out who you are, and why you are here. Okay?”

Kelly

The bolts slam into Neuro and he arches his back in pain, spitting out more blood. He laughs laying there as the world turns dark, “Interesting…” he coughs, “is their hope for me, after all is said and done?” he looks, “All the spoils of a wasted life, all of this for you…”

“The destiny I have chose, is all becoming clear… the currents have their say, the time is drawing near, it washes me away… makes me disappear… and I descend from grace… I will take my place in the great below…” he coughs, finally looking to Kelly, “I can still feel you, even so far away…” he lifts his hand in her direction.

“I can still feel you even so far away, I can still feel you Kelly. This phantom before you is dying,” he coughs blood, “but for all my evil, I always did love you, you were so special to me. I had to break you, bring you to my level so that you could one day, learn to love me,” his eyes start to glaze, “but I see that I am truly weaker then I could ever believe. I am but a ghost, an errant memory, and now I am nothing. You are free of me, but I shall linger in your memories, and you will be free of me, until you learn life’s ultimate lesson. That life…” he rasps, “Is pain…”

Then everything goes white.

Kelly sees the portly woman sink into her chair, in a feint. And sweat beads up on her forehead. Her hand tightly grips Tommy’s hand, and his squeezes back, as Mr. Smith tends to the mentalist.

Mr. Smith speaks, “She is alive, but in shock, Mr. McKain, I shall escort her to the medical wing.”

Tommy nods, “Good,” he turns to Kelly, “are you alright? You were under for about four hours…”

Bangkok

Yoshi shrugs, “Dude, we can plan till we get tired, Mark make a command decision and lets act. Chances are Strength is at this club as we speak. I suggest we keep the couples broken up, no need to have someone do something stupid,” he winks to Anika.

Star looks to the monitor, “It may be prudent to set up multiple evacuation points, this could become a running fight. If we don’t contain him quickly, things could get ugly fast. Evacuating the area will only alert him as well, whatever we do, citizens will be in danger.”
 

When everything fades to white, and Kelly can finally see Tommy, she sighs in relief, and sags back into her chair. She smiles at Tommy, relieved, for the first time in a while, she was totally alone in her head, no Neuro, none of his impulses, just Kelly, Kelly and Kelly alone.

"Its me in here," she says touching Tommy's hand to her head. "He's gone, he's really gone, I can't feel him in my head anymore, his, well, the things that he made me want to do are all gone. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You," she says excitedly in a breathless rush, leaping up onto Tommy, throwing her arms around Tommy's neck, and her legs about his waist. She gives him a kiss on the lips.

"He was really in there, we both saw him, and I told him I wanted him to go away, and then I hit him with a few lightning bolts, and poof, he was gone and I woke up."
 

Cassie

Cassie nods and turns to head out, her thoughts to herself as she wanders first back to her room to change and then down to the gym as she typically does when she needs to think things through.

She finds a spot in the gym floor and goes through kata, trying to blank her mind and put her doubts aside as she goes through the excercise, strangely out of balance as a new feeling starts to steal over her mind. Frustration.

She works though the routines, her eyes closed so to focus her other senses, lashing out at imagined targets as she fights her own mind to keep her center and NOT think of the things she has found, the scant few hints of her past that make no sense to her.

Tommy smiles holding her close, "I am glad to hear it, I hope it stays that way. I would hate for you to have share real estate with anyone else. I rather like knowing its just you in there," he playfully taps her head before setting her down on the couch.

"I got some news, your company, and your agent have issued a statement about your apparent dissapearance. It pretty much states that they are doing everything in their power to find you. I doubt they will, at least until I am sure that the threat is reduced. Justice Elite is hunting down our killers as we speak, so once that is settled I am sure we can make our grand entrance. But until then we will stay here," he shrugs, "it's safest here."

Cassie

Cassie spots Kal and Jimmy talking, and the two seem to be debating something. It is not an animated conversation, but eventually it looks like Jimmy relents and then he points to Cassie.

Kal shrugs and heads her way with Jimmy in tow. Kal tries to come off as casual, "Uhh hi Cassie, hey uhh, I was wondering if I could ask you a favor or something, well its a big one, and uhh yeah..."

Jimmy rolls his eyes, "Dude you suck, Cassie, we're going to break into VSC tomorrow night, and we need some extra help, you in?"

Kal blinks, "Well first we have to meet someone but yeah, that sounds about right. We are not breaking in, well we are going in to find the Red Witch... we are not going to steal stuff. Not that kind of breaking in."

Jimmy grins, "No reason for those wimps on Legacy to have all the fun."
 

Cassie

Cassie stops her kata and looks up to Kal and Tommy. She is clearly considering this offer as she looks from one to the other. "I think that would be .. interesting. Have anyone who is skilled at electronics or computers in this plan? I need to take a look at the computers of one of VSC's supsidiaries." Looks at both of them calmly with a 'I'm not kidding look' out of sorts with her usual curious outgoing nature.

"Uhh... not me," Jimmy replies.

"Me neither, Aris knows her way around them somewhat, and she is going with us, so yeah I guess she could find what you need. Why the big interest?" Kal replies.

Jimmy shrugs, "Does it matter, she is going to help, and that is great for me."
 

Cassie

"I suspect that my mysterious origin is tied up in Magog, the subsidiaries." looks to Jimmy. "why the invitation Jimmy? I didn't think you thought too much of me." Looks at him calmly.

"This isn't a time to start getting all dramatic Cassie. I hate everyone equally, besides I figure you would like to do something that matters, instead of sitting around here doing nothing. Besides this isn't about me, this is about our friends," Jimmy replies.

Kal glances, "I didn't know you cared."

Jimmy shrugs, "Neither did I, but it matters. I may not like certain people, but that does not mean I hold that against them, when the chips are down. Besides, Red Witch and Genocide are involved, and they might be involved with Ryan. If they are working with VSC then I am in."
