Generation Legacy Issue #8 "Innocence Lost" - Part 2

[Shalimar]

Kelly sighs at Paragon's insistance that she not get involved, she had been involved at the Matrix club and she had done good work there, she knew she could help, she was positive of it. The girl decided to just shut up for once, and she simply floated cross legged a few feet above the fround, watching the sky, and feeling the weather's pull on her. She could always feel the pull to some degree, and it was easy to sense someone fooling with nature to alter the weather.

Kelly didn't know how she sensed the weather change, but at least this rain wouldn't damage the weather patterns, Anika was a good person, she wouldn't just do things for the fun of it, even so, she wasn't entirely happy with her friend, the weather was something that was hers, she didn't like the feeling of someone else doing things with it when she was so close, certainly not a friend. When Paragon exclaims, she blinks curiously and then follows the british Elite's gaze skyward, and she too marvels at the lights dancing across the sky.

"Maybe... I did not think an elite like you subscribed to an ideal that the ends justify the means?" Bishop replies.

"If the end result is stopping what could very well be Ragnarock, and the means to it is simply not wasting time fighting amongst ourselves and focusing on our true enemy, then I guess I am," Valkyrie says, matter-of-factly.

"I don't know, that is the purple boy... right?" he says with a curious tone...

"Huh. You know who I am, but not Ryan? Okay, yes, he's the one that glows purple, though he apparently isn't anymore," she replies inpatiently. "This wouldn't have anything to do with...hey, did Cardinal ever mention having a brother?"

 

[Samnell]

Ryan looks dreadfully normal, well normal in the sense that he isn’t glowing. He looks just normal, there is no other way to explain it. People in the room are looking curiously at the young hero somewhat confused at what is happening.

"Ryan?" It takes Mark a moment to recognize him without the purple glow. "Ok. It's not safe for you out here then. Go back to the Aerodyne and we'll sort it out after we take care of the people here," Mark decides. He stands awkwardly about, not sure whether to resume searching or stay with Ryan and trying not to look too worried.

Better tell someone Mark comms Atlas, "There's something out here that just took out one of my people's powers. The rest of us seem ok, but thought you should know."

Cassie

Looking to the others calmly Cassie glances back at Arafina and tries to figure if she can get the drop on her before she can move.

If she's close enough to try and do an attack with a resonable chance to get the drop on the other Elite, she will.otherwise she's going with the following ploy to try and buy some time.

"So, you were expecting us?" Cassie says. "In general? Or us specifically?" she says lookign around to the others.

 

[Hammerhead]

"I'm not safe here? Gee, I wonder what that's like. Powers or not, I'm still a member of this team, and I can still make a difference." This is heartening. Apparently I've turned into some helpless invalid now that I can no longer blow stuff up.

Ryan fumbles with his communicator. "Anika, can't you ask the nice terrorist who or what could do this to me? And how to get rid of it?" For the millionth time, Cardinal is NOT my sister! Did everyone take crazy pills in the cafeteria except for me?

"So, you were expecting us?" Cassie says. "In general? Or us specifically?" she says lookign around to the others.

"Dont' come any closer there Cassie, let not make this difficult. I am not here alone, and I am definitely not stupid enough to let you get close to me," she rolls her eyes at Cassie, "I am not even going to answer that question, Cassie, use your pea-sized brain to figure that one out."

Kelly

Paragon speaks forcefully, "I want you to go inside the tent and stay there Kelly. I am not going to force you, but I won't be held responsible if you get yourself hurt or worse by running off and doing something stupid."

He then takes to the air speaking over the comm. line, "Mark, come again, you said Ryan just lost all his powers? This night is going from bad to worse! Justice Elite converge on Ryan's position ASAP, we may have an intruder!"

Anika

"I didn't think you had that in you," Bishop replies, "collteral damage aside, you would willfully side with her? Then maybe you will survive. Just know that she doesen't take the answer no lightly..."

He cracks a wry smile at Anika's chastise, "Sarcasm an oft misunderstood art. I am aware of Ryan and Cardinal's similarities. Perhaps what affects one, affects the other? It is only a hypothesis but suppose this is not an isolated event... hmmm?"

At this point in time, Anika and Bishop both notice the strange sky effects!

Bishop grins, "Curious."

"Dont' come any closer there Cassie, let not make this difficult. I am not here alone, and I am definitely not stupid enough to let you get close to me," she rolls her eyes at Cassie, "I am not even going to answer that question, Cassie, use your pea-sized brain to figure that one out."

"Why are you doing this Arafina? What's in this for you?" Karen asks the rich Elite, her saphire eyes narrowing, "Don't you already have everything you could possibly want?" her ruby hands balling into fists, If this spoiled brat thinks she can just stand there insulting my friends, she'd better think twice.

"I never said anything about agreeing to become one of her sheep," Valkyrie says. "But why would she fight soemone that has the same goal as she does...assuming stopping Overseer is her only goal. I'm not stupid, Bishop, I realize that Overseer just someone in the way of her own goals. That doesn't change the fact that she wants to end the same threat that we do, and haven't figured out how to yet. Maybe she has. Still, I have my own code of conduct, and that will likely clash with how she sees things, so we're not likely to see eye to eye. That, and I won't abandon my teammates for any reason, either."

Seeing the lights in the sky and hearing Paragon ordering his team to converge on Ryan gived Anika pause. She points out the direction of the base camp to the man she helped, telling him to head there, and rises in the air. "Looks like we're having problems, and I don't have time for your riddles. If you want to help, you can, but I'm not waiting for you." She flies off towards Ryan's position.

Karen asks the rich Elite, her saphire eyes narrowing, "Don't you already have everything you could possibly want?" her ruby hands balling into fists, If this spoiled brat thinks she can just stand there insulting my friends, she'd better think twice.

Cassie hefts the guard gently, but keeps her weight balanced on the balls of her feet as she watches the interplay between the others and the traitor. Waiting for an opening or chance, while schooling her emotions to keep a steady look on her face. This was a situation where she had some measure of understanding, combat was the one time she didn't feel out of her depth.

Kelly smiles at Paragon once his back was turned and he takes to the air. At least he wasn't forcing her to not try and help anyone. The teen takes to the air behind Paragon, and follows him as swiftly as she can, intending to help Ryan, or at least protect him if there really was someone there, after all, he had just saved her life.
