Hey I managed to update- the first fight starts now so enjoy
ty to who did my beta check for this.
A calm man walked the streets, a strange aura of purpose and place, a long cape and beneath his shirt and trousers as well as a small collar like necklace, given to him by his boss and master himself who had said all that years ago when he first went into the man's service;
"Even though you are marvellous creatures, the normal idiots of the world today would freak over the appearance of those who are special."
From that day, a device was created that temporarily nulls the powers he had been trained to use. However if he wished to tap into what he had been taught to use he had to remove the necklace. It was a small price to pay in the end. He smiled and gently thumbed over the knot that stopped him from unsheathing his sword, but he needed to find his targets first. If he was a runaway lab experiment sample, where would he hide?
It had been a few months since the group had come together and slowly they had all managed to take on work or were at least trying to get work. Reflect and Flora had gotten paper rounds in the early morning which Brother insisted upon accompanying them. Atomic found himself a job as a delivery boy and they managed to acquire a bike to help him in his work. The bike was a striking red colour and although pre-owned the American teen came to love it happily and prized it over a lot of things. Glacier and Harmonic found a repair shop downtown that was hiring, Glacier was put up front on till while the German discovered he had a knack with fixing machines so he was taught about mechanics by the shop owner while working, and although he hardly smiled you could tell he really enjoyed it. Amazonia didn't have a job but she did start a small sewing business fixing things after helping out a few of the neighbours, other than that she cleaned around the house. Briar worked in a florist down the road whose sales with teenage girls suddenly went up strangely…
That left Summon and Beast who spent a lot of time wandering around trying to find work since Amazonia kicked them out.
"I'm here!"
Beast's ear twitched and he stopped looking around. The Brit walked a little further and turned to face the Albino
"I'm here!"
"I'm here"
"I'm here!"
"I'm here"
"I'm here!"
"I'm here"
"I'm here!"
"I'm here"
The Albino grumbled slowly getting irritated by the plague of very high annoying probably children's voices.
"Oh will you shut up!" he yelled. "We get it ok you're there mein gott!" Beast growled. Summon blinked and stared at him in disbelief.
"Beast…who are you talking to?"
The albino blinked and looked at the blond, then laughed it off claiming he heard some kids and they must of runoff.
Antonio smiled placing the tray onto the table and serving the juice and tea to the family at the table. Suddenly there was a crash behind them and swirling round he saw the boss grasp a hand to her mouth looking guilty. Mirror was biting his lip trying to hold back the string of curses seeing as he knew there were a lot of families in. Antonio rushed behind the counter to see what was wrong and inhaled sharply seeing the very large still steaming wet patch all over the front of the Italian.
"I am so sorry Romano I tripped" he heard his boss try to explain her mistake but she could see that as soon as the Italian opened his mouth, every young ear in the place would be defiled and they would lose a lot of their weekend trade. However Mirror surprised them as when his mouth opened releasing all the pain he was feeling.
"Far Canal!" he screamed and the other two jumped, then stared dumbfounded as they processed what the teen had actually said. Several children had jumped at their mothers, who were staring in disbelief.
"Bar stair!" he jumped. "Bar stair bar stair bar stair! Sheese Sheese! Mother clucker! Gah it flipping burns!" he was dancing around on the spot in agony. The coffee was soaking through quickly and scorching the skin beneath.
Lunging forward Antonio swooped up the Brunette and rushed out to the back hearing his boss explain the situation.
Mirror's curses had decreased to a whimpering as the pain swept over him and then ached. Antonio was quick to yank off the dress and apply a wet cloth to the male's stomach that was already turning a pink colour. He sighed and without thinking pulled the younger into him embracing him and planted a gentle kiss to the teen's forehead.
"What the fuck are you doing bastard?" the Italian whimpered and the Spaniard snapped upright
"Ah sorry Mirror~" he laughed and went to pull away from Mirror grasped the arm to stop him from moving away.
"Never said to stop…" he blushed turning his tanned skin red he looked down at the man's hand holding the wet cloth the overly heated skin. The Spanish male laughed and went back to hugging him humming a little.
Once cleaned up it was agreed Mirror should go home since the man couldn't bend over without snapping upright from the pain, it seemed the skin had suffered a slight burn but it was enough to make the male feel sick. So he changed back into his too big jumper and jeans and headed out the door adjusting the hat on his head. It was only mid afternoon and with one hand laced to sit on his stomach like some pregnant teen mum he headed back towards the house. His thoughts however, seemed to have been infiltrated by the melody Antonio had been humming before. He stopped and willed the tune to leave but it had made itself at home between the man's ears. Sighing and grumbling in defeat he continued to walk down the street.
Beast and Summon had been walking around for quite some time now and after realising they now knew the nearby area like the back of their hands were beginning to consider heading home.
"Is that them?" a young Asian male with a fly away curl asked turning to the female with him who was adjusting the flower in her hair.
"Yes that is them… "She smiled her eyes landing on Summon. "Let's go"
She walked in front of her companion and raised her hand. A puddle nearby rippled and swirled at her command. The younger male clapped his hands and a small spark leapt from his hands as they snapped together and infused in the water. With a smile the water surged forward towards the two males. Beast's sharpened senses spotted it first and smashed himself into Summon, forcing the other from the path. Beast wasn't able to escape and the Brit paled as the Albino began to scream in pain. It stopped at he was sucked into a bubble of electrified water; he twitched and struggled but he couldn't escape. Finally snapping from his stupor his rushed forward focusing on his power he summoned a sword and sliced through the bubble. That didn't destroy it but he managed to break the charge of electricity and Beast was about to free himself once the surge was gone. Panting and coughing the albino looked over to the two who walked forward looking smug. The young male was wearing a long white robe with a short blue overcoat whilst the female was wearing a pink top and white skirt with a pink flower in her hair. Both had ears and tails.
"Hello Summon dear" the girl smiled with a sickly sweet intention. Summon swallowed hard and growled a little
"Err Summon…you know these guys?" Beast asked. Summon nodded.
"They completed the lab programme about a month or two before you came… Aqua and Static…"
The bell rung indicating the entrance of a new customer and when Glacier looked up from the magazine he was reading he smiled as the newcomer
"Welcome you looking for the engineer here?" he asked politely
"Of course I am!" the customer replied happily and the blonde turned to the back
"Harmonic!" he called "someone to see you!"
The German appeared wiping his hands on a rag covered in oil and dirt with a boiler suit tied at his waist showing a white vest going grey with the oil.
"Reflect? Why are you here?" he asked eyeing up the Italian before him
"I made you lunch!" he declared thrusting the cloth wrapped box toward the man
"Oh isn't that sweet…" a low voice seemed to mock. The brunette blinked and looking over his shoulder saw an Asian teen in a red top and black trousers, a small metal collar around his neck
"Ve…sorry but," he began turning fully to him, "who are you?"
"Think of me as you chaperone aru." He laughed and grabbed a hold of Reflect's arm before reaching underneath the male's shirt and dragging his tail into view. "Back to the lab with you pretty kitty aru."
He let go of the tail and raised his hand keeping the boy in place as he tried to pull away. He dragged the collar off his neck and then began focusing heat on the spot on his hand. he ignited a flame that danced on his hand, the look in his eyes told them the fire was for the Italian who continued to panic and struggle. Harmonic bolted forward and jumped over the counter, determined to get at the boy. Glacier was on his feet as well and instantly activated his ability and, hand outstretched, freezing the hand that held the flame, extinguishing it instantly. The man grunted and was then tackled by the German who spun and pushed the Italian away. Getting up the Asian cursed and saw the door to the back slam. He was up on his feet and after them in an instant.
The back of the shop was dark and full off rows and rows of shelving apart from one area where a table stood illuminated with an engine on top with a door to the outside just behind it; it had a window in it but it had been painted black.
"You can't hide you know" he laughed melting the ice from his hand as he wandered around. Behind the rows of shelves, Reflect clung to the blonde German who was in deep concentration causing the air not to vibrate making them virtually invisible to the man tracking them. Glacier was looking through the gaps, as the male who he could now see had tail and ears like they did.
"What are we going to do?
"Ve…" Reflect shuffled away from Harmonic and looked over the shelves. "I…I have an idea."
Beast flew backwards and hit the wall hard, returning to human form from the wolf he had taken up. Summon was trying his best to create a shield but he could only do it against one element so when the other attacked it was draining his energy immensely. He stumbled and landed next to the albino.
"What the hell is going on bastard one and two!"
Mirror appeared from down an alley and rushed over looking over the boy's injuries.
"Why don't you just blast their unawesome behinds!" Beast yelled swatting at the new comers.
The Italian slapped him with the back of his hand then pressed his palm to the man's cheek concentrating.
"You really picked your day to trust your brother!" Summon growled and brought up his shield again his vision starting to blur.
Reflect closed one eye to get a better accuracy on his target; the back door was ajar and all he needed to do was hit it gently. Bringing a finger up between two broken machines on the shelf, he shot a small jolt of the darkness. It was slightly off mark and hit a can near the door toppling it over. They held their breaths but the can had somehow diverted the shot back on target and hitting the door. They began to realise how much power was behind the darkness as the small marble sized amount threw the door arm, slamming it on the wall outside before it began to swing back. The Asian male spun on the spot and cursed again in what sounded like Chinese as he rushed out the back door believing the bluff and slowly adjusting the collar to his neck.
The three collapsed on the floor relieved until they heard an explosion in the distance.
Glacier's eyes widened as he flew outside, the colour of the explosion stained the sky and looked too familiar.
This was beyond bad.
Accessing fact file
Alfred F. Jones- Atomic
The ability to create an energy ball that can cause explosion at will- several casualties to staff have caused us to resort to force restraints and special gloves on him that stops him from making the energy
(ABILITY CONFIRMED) believe he can absorb the energy of shockwaves and explosions- accident in the test lad where Subject Glacier and Subject Atomic – both boys were unharmed and Subject Atomic was suddenly able to use his power despite his restraints- he has been quarantined because of it
Will randomly attack staff using whatever to hand. Resourceful but troublesome.
Several re education sessions have occurred. It was feared that sessions have failed until a trigger word was found. Upon speaking this word the subject would cease actions and appear very confused- this may be due to the strain on his mental plain but this has yet to be confirmed. All staff have been notified
Both Subject Glacier and Subject Atomic are very close- discussion to try a Joining has been suggested.
