Generation Legacy Issue #9 "Innocence Lost" - Part 3

[Karl Green]

James aka Traveller

Back in the Kitchen

James looks a bit uncomfortable but says "Ah, yea... well I don't think anyone is calling you are lier or anything there Aris... it is just we have know Anika and Ryan for a bit longer then you all and have a hard time believing something like that. But anyway not any of our business. So Kal you think you got any cloths that might fit me? Maybe so I don't look like a scifi goof. This park sounds nice, and a picnic would be nice and relaxing if you ask me... something without death gases, or bombs or stuff like that"

“What!” she sounds surprised, “You don’t have a girlfriend? Oh my… I mean, just curious, I mean, you seem like a really nice, handsome… hot… I mean you just seem really cool. Hard to believe you don’t have someone special already. I don’t either… I mean a boyfriend, not a girlfriend; I like boys not girls… I mean not that there is anything wrong with that… oh geeze…”

Mark sighs and stops swimming for a bit, "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I'm not really looking. I'm not really into starting anything romantic with girls right now. I know plenty and they're all nice people and I don't mind spending time with them. But I'm looking for friends, not girlfriends. I'm sorry if you came out here hoping for more."

James looks a bit uncomfortable but says "Ah, yea... well I don't think anyone is calling you are lier or anything there Aris... it is just we have know Anika and Ryan for a bit longer then you all and have a hard time believing something like that. But anyway not any of our business. So Kal you think you got any cloths that might fit me? Maybe so I don't look like a scifi goof. This park sounds nice, and a picnic would be nice and relaxing if you ask me... something without death gases, or bombs or stuff like that"

Kal nods and the teens of Teen Justice spend the next few minutes getting clothes for the members of Legacy and company. Aris ignores the rest and gets changed into an outfit that is just on the side modest side of extremely daring. A short black skirt with thigh high black boots and a tight mini t-shirt that reads, “Caught you looking.”

Kal is dressed in loose jeans with tennis shoes New York Yankees baseball cap and white and blue shirt over his muscled frame. Velocity Girl is wearing tight hip hugger pants with her mid drift showing, and a FUBU T-shirt. Yoshi is able to get an urban look going on with his signature red bandana on his head, blonde hair, and baggy jeans and clothes. Kiyana goes for a more conservative look with just jeans and a shirt, nothing too sexy, but she still looks very attractive nonetheless.

The teens set out for the park to enjoy the sunny afternoon.

“Uh… I mean, I was… I just… no… I am sorry,” she gets out of the pool, “I upset you I guess. I am sorry I didn’t… I always do that. I apologize, there is no way a guy like you would be into a girl like me… I just wanted to swim and talk… I mean… I am sorry, here I got to go, and get some work down, have a good swim Mark,” she walks away drying herself with little to no bounce in her step.

With the help of Velocity girl, Kelly manages something similair to Aris's outfit but with a little more left to the imagination. A tight pink shirt that shows off her toned tummy, and a black skirt with some knee high boots. The popstar smiles at Aris, trying to be friendly, she hadn't meant that the other girl was a liar, just that maybe she had seen it wrong.

"I'm sorry that it sounded like I was calling you a Liar Aris. Thats a really cool outfit, it looks really good on you. I wish I could get away with wearing stuff like that sometimes, but I think my Record Label would kill me, if not my parents. They keep saying I'm too young, and that its not my image." Kelly explains to Aris as diplomatically (+10) as possible, trying to make friends with the other girl. Originally they had been friendly, well, at least she thought they had, but that was back when Neuro was around. She hoped that if anyone in this new world could understand her that it would be Aris, they were kind of alike afterall.

Aris rolls her eyes, “Save it, I don’t care, alright. You think I am wrong, I know what I saw, and I am not an idiot. Believe what you want, I got better things to do then sit here and make buddy, buddy with you,” she walks off following the rest of the teens.

Diplomacy isn't going to help here too much.

Gilden smiles, "Not at all, I would not want that, not now, or ever, my friend."

"We both are, but for now let us just be... friends," he smiles and gives her a kiss, "or more." He pulls her close, “I just don’t want, I like everything that is happening, I just don’t to think I am what the others refer to as the “rebound guy”, an awkward term, but I think I understand what they mean by that.”

"Oh, you mean, Ryan," Anika says a bit defensively, averting her eyes. "Hey, I don't know what Ryan and I had. I do know that when I kissed him, he kinda looked at me like I had two heads."

She puts her head on his shoulder. "What he said to me, hurt, but we were both angry, I guess. I still have feelings for him, but we're probably better off just being friends, maybe that was his intention all along.

"Like I said, you seem to understand me, and I don't think I'm an easy person to understand. I feel so at ease when I'm with you." She looks up at him and smiles. "Trust me, you're not just some rebound guy."

She picks her head up, and that eyebrow is arched again. "So when you say 'more', how much more are we talking about?" she says with an impish grin.

"There was much negative energy in the air, but very little understanding..." Gilden sighs.

"Like I said, you seem to understand me, and I don't think I'm an easy person to understand. I feel so at ease when I'm with you."

She looks up at him and smiles. "Trust me, you're not just some rebound guy."

The elfin hero smiles, "Then that puts my heart at ease."

She picks her head up, and that eyebrow is arched again. "So when you say 'more', how much more are we talking about?" she says with an impish grin.

He lays her back on the grass and kisses her, “More… as in that we have a connection,” he pauses, “the others are leaving the tower to go downtown, so I guess we have tons of privacy now,” he lays down next to her.

“So what do people from your world normally do in a situation like this?” he smiles genuinely.

Kelly groans as Aris walks away, that wasn't what she wanted at all, she had really meant what she said about the clothes. This wasn't right, she was trying to be nice to Aris and it wasn't working, not at all. She was used to her charms doing what she wanted, and now that they weren't she didn't know what to do, just ignore Aris she suppoused , otherwise the Alien girl would just get angrier.

Not knowing how to get on Aris's goodside, she simply follows after the others to the park, hoping there'll be a lot of people there, she liked singing, especially for an audience, too bad Nightchild wouldn't be there, he was always so serious, and she wanted to thank him for letting her stay over, that really was a lot of fun, and his grandmom was really nice.

Ryan rolls his eyes. "Yeah, I'm full of sympathy for someone who's willing to kill an entire city, just so that more people can be killed. No one forced you to do that; if you don't like the way your life is going, it's never too late to turn around and walk down a different path." I hate these whiny losers. 'It's not my fault, boo hoo.' Pathetic.

"Well, it's not like I want to be here, but I freely chose to turn myself in to the police, and rejected a deal where I walk away. I wanted vindication." Silver spoon? That's a laugh. Ever since I got these powers I've been ostracized, rejected, and discarded. Then I had to fend off kidnapping attempts. And I've also managed to piss off the one person at the Institute I care for the most. Money is nothing, compared to that. Hell, it's never been my goal. If I wanted to, I could just sit around making gold and platinum, or healing people at some ER. This silver spoon is like a piece of shrapnel that sticks in your eye.

"So, like, in this world do we get phone calls or what? 'Cause I mean, in mine we did."

Did they read Ryan his rights? What is his crime?
