Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Mr. Black turns aside to Nightweaver and says "By the way, Nightweaver, I heard what happened at the Fine place. Ya know, I'm always looking for other powered individuals to train with. Throwing around the troops for their own good only does so much for my skills. "

"Maybe later. I doubt I would do anything for you, three years of Long Fist and I can't even take down a spoiled teenager. All I'm good for is blacking out a room-and even that hasn't helped us at all.

"Don't sell yourself short. My guys found that her clothing, her gloves, and her mask were made out of special materials invented by Ben, which greatly increased her damage-dealing potential and included weaker versions of that nanoturbine technology that Barringotn wanted. Also, it seems that her psychic powers have been incorporated into her martial arts training. She looked like a spoiled child, but she's a mind-reading, bulletproof bad@$$. Besides, even though she cheated by seeing the future and having hidden power armor, I'd call that fight a draw. I'm sure we can have some constructive sparring sessions."

"On second thought. I'm not exactly in the best state of mind at the moment. If I went down there I'd do more harm then good." she admitted reluctantly. "If you want, I can show you the wing we use here," she said, using him as a... distraction from the urge to go plant her fist in Red's and the other prisoners faces.

Anyone still left in the infirmery by now would know her well enough to realize that and even Apollo would probably be able to figure that out, given her previous statements.
Apollo nods, "Sure, I kind of just flew in literally like 5 minutes ago, so I am sort of lost around here."

"Heh. I'd be too if it weren't for an Eidiec Memory." she quipped and escorted him to their wing. "There are a couple of empty rooms, so feel free to choose one," she said, grateful that she had a distraction.
 

Wren makes his way to the location of Ben and the girl, hopeful that he can speak with either of them. He will also take some pics of the woman in red, and Fine, so that he can show the two teenagers, if it comes to that. Until then, he keeps it quiet that Fine is in custody. He will, however, speak with whomever is in charge at the holding area, finding out as much information as possible about Ben, Sarah, and the other prisoner. If they have already discovered a few things, then he would be better equipped to deal with Ben and the girls.

Apollo looks into a room, “So you live here too?” He gives the room a dubious look, shaking his head, “I can choose later, so how do you like working here with the Trust; I guess tell me about you, what you do here and with this team. I tend to work solo, doing the superhero gig, I was brought on board because I wanted to make a difference; which sounds pretty cheesy when I hear myself say it out loud. But that is the truth of it, I am hoping working with you guys will give me some inspiration for my next album.”

Yeah I am not thinking I will spend too much time here, I didn’t buy that penthouse for nothing, or the place in Maui… or well, yeah; but she is cute. I wonder just how awesome superhero sex would be… mental note explore that possibility at my earliest convenience, Apollo leans against a door frame of an empty room, “But enough about by me, tell me about you.”
 

"Well. I guess you could call me a stratomancer, that is a magic user specializing in weather control and related effects. No one is quite sure how I control the weather. It's partially magic and partially something else, because I've never had to use spells to affect the weather, yet those who can detect magic say I draw on it in order to do so." she said as she sat down on a nearby chair. "I can also cast real spells and am a postcognitive, someone who sees the past."

"I work for Aegis and before that the FBI, primarily on missing persons and major crimes involving the empowered. In fact, the main reason why I became involved with the Trust is they approached me after I was assigned to investigate the fight involving Numero Uno and the business down at the docks and then later met the rest of the group at the Museum." she looked suddenly sober. "Most people call me the Hellborn Saint or just the Saint because of some of the cases I helped solve."

Hope grinned at the rocker. "I decided to join the Trust because they seem to be the only one's with the capabilities and the resources to thwart Barrington. Whatever he's planning, it's going to involve massive loss of life and I never was one to simply roll over and accept death for me or anyone else."

"Making a difference is a step in the right direction Apollo. But what we are dealing with here is very, very serious. Star almost died today because of it. So did I. We are going against people who won't hesitate to kill us and everyone around us is a potential hostage or target." she looked at the rocker and her expression was unreadable. "These guys are just as strong and as powerful as we are, maybe even more so. You're going to have to risk alot more than you've done before, maybe even risk your own life as well. Are you willing to do that?"

Death would kind of suck, but the rush of living on the edge… that sounds like just the kind of thing I could go for, life is dull enough as it is. Man I wonder what they do for fun around here, because walking around this place seems kind of dull… don’t these people let loose once in awhile, Apollo thinks on her words.

“I once heard a pretty decent quote about dying for what you believe in; I don’t want to die for what I believe, I want my enemies to die for what they believe… not that I have killed anyone, or even want to do that, but we are involved in a nasty business right? So yeah I am sure you look at me and see superficial rocker dude, he has money, and fame… he couldn’t possibly be serious enough to want to risk it all right? But it isn’t like that, I create music because I believe that music can inspire people to do something, and hopefully make things better,” Apollo muses, causing a subtle change in the light, the room cast a soft hue of gold.

“But for me it wasn’t enough, and yeah my lyrics are not always politically correct, and I don’t always talk about the happy things in life, but I do speak about what I see, what I feel, and what I believe. When I saw that someone was preying on my fans, I had to do something, anything about it. Am I willing to risk everything for doing the right thing, sure… my life has been about risk since day one. Hell I could die tomorrow, the only thing that matters is not how I died, but how I lived you know? So what do you live for?” Apollo replies.
 

What do I live for? she mused. It had been along time since she had thought about it. "I first started having visions when I was eight. Visions of people dying, being hurt and killed. I couldn't stop it because it had already happened, sometimes even before I was born. The only thing I could do was watch. When I finally told my dad about it, he recognized some of what I had told him and had me tested for psychic abilities. I found out that I was a postcognitive, a really powerful one. I began helping the cops and the feds solve cold cases ranging from kidnappings to murder. I was later apprenticed to a mage working for the FBI and became a sorceress in my own right." she leaned back. "It's something of a family business. My dad was a Fed and I've been involved in law inforcement for as long as I can remember,"

"I guess you can say I live to speak for others who can't speak, whose voices have been taken from them too early by violence and death. I live to stand for the dead and the innocent whose innocence has been taken away from them." she chuckled, but it was without humor. "I got tired of simply watching. I wanted to help, I wanted to make the ones who hurt others stop."

“Sounds like you are doing just that, sounds lonely though, do you do anything for fun? I mean not saying that you guys don’t have a charming and entertaining setup around here,” he muses, “but I mean it seems a little isolated. Like do you go out on the town, in your off time or do you spend every waking moment fighting crimes that have already happened?”
