Chapter 10
NSWF Company 5:00
A young brown haired woman floating in a tank of what look like green water is the scene we come to. Out side the tank another brown hair woman in a lab coat stood in front of the tank with a deep frown on her face.
"How is Shiori?" the woman ask the people at the computers behind her.
"There no need to worry Dr Nishida, she made it back just in time." the male one of her two helper said.
"But if it had been a week more then we might have had a problem." the female next to him added making their boss eye twitch.
"That's too close!" she snapped before putting her hands in her pockets and turnning around then begin waking to the door entryway.
"I don't care if she wakes up eary or not, make sure she stay in there at least 24 hours." with that said she walk off.
Looking out the window of a larger office was none other then the head of NSWF, Mr. Furumizu or as the orphans in his care call him father. He had a rather odd smile on his face, one that didn't change even as Nishida came in with a very displease look on her face.
"Ah Dr. Nishida, are we having a smoking hot day?" Nishida just roll her eyes at the joke.
"Can we cut it with bad jokes for now and you tell why you waited three months before letting Shiori's have her treatment!?" she yell the last part abit but Furumizu didn't seem to care.
"Why? Because I wanted to see how long she could last before the breakdown process started." Dr. Nishida was anything but happy with his reply.
"So you had her hoping from one place to another just for that!?" she exclaimed but he just smile.
"Yes but she came back in time so there's no worry." Nishida was really getting tick off now, with Nora gone awoal and Reina joining Douji Industries to be with Mr. Takayama, Shiori was the strongest blade user they had and couldn't a ford to lose her.
"Sir can you please not be so reckless? I could have told you how long she would have lasted before the break down process started." Nishida said hoping to avold this from happening again.
"Very well now if you don't mind I need to check on Maria, Asagi, and Aoi. I just bet their on fire in their training right now." he chuckle before walking off, Nishida just roll her eyes at the man hoping that other than lame jokes that power didn't change him too much.
Dakota 5:45
Flying over the city of Dakota was none other than Static who was wazzing through the sky at top speed while holding three Mcdonalds carry out bags, stopping at an old abandoned rapid transit system, he gave quick look around to make sure no one saw before head inside. After reaching the subway area quickly jump on his disk and flew down the train pathway, flying just above the railing while reaching inside coat his pocket. Ten minutes of flying lead him to stop at what look like a normal wall until he press one of the five buttens causing the wall that was a hologram to disappeared to show a metal door.
Walking back and forth in a place that had a batcave slash Star labs feel to it was Gear who had been waiting with She bang for Static who had yet to came back with their food.
"Where is he?!"
"Gear, I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation-"
"How does this always happen? My stomach needs food and it needed it five minutes ago!" She bang sighed, her boyfriend would usually be having a jolly old good time making some new device right about now, but when he was hungry, he sometimes experienced mood swings worse than those of most women in menopause. And sometime when it was he turn to pay it was ten times worse, like now.
"Hey, guys!" a familiar voice called. "I'm back!"
Static yell walking in and sitting everyone food on the giant around table in the center of the room, seeing them Gear quicky walk over snatch his away before moving over to his chair at the larger round table and sitting down.
"What bugging him?" Static ask She bang as she walk over to her food as well.
"He had to help the cops track down theft who had stolen an expensive diamond necklace from some old lady and didn't get back to school until after lunch because of it." She bang said walking to her seat with her food in hand.
"Tch, before the cops hated when we got involved, now their teating us like this our job or something." Gear mutter opening his Mcdonalds bag to pullout a big mac.
"Yeah well putting that aside I got to admit I'm kind of excited, this is our first real team meeting." She bang said pulling out a salad.
"And it's at a real headquarters. That our!" She bang exclaimed and Static and Gear had to admit Soul power giving them this base was pretty sweet and it beats the old gas station they were staying at.
"Just wish we could have come up with a better name then The power complex." Static mumble sitting down at the table and getting a glare from Gear.
"HEY! I think it a cool name, beside I'm the one who update this place from the stone ages so it should be call a name I pick." Gear said but Static was ready to fire back.
"Yeah but in case you forgot I was the one who got us all this new tech!" Static stated smugly causing Gear to growl, and it was true. All the technology added to the power complex was due to Static getting it from Soul power old sidekick Sparkly, real name Philip Rollins.
"Hey in case you guys for got I'm the one who had to lug around most of that stuff! But in the end the name Gear wanted was the one that got pick so knocket off!" She basiclly order
Static sigh at her words, they had all wrote down five names each that they wanted the place to be call and put it in a hat, it seem like the fair thing to do at the time and much to Static's dismay, one of the names Gear wrote down was pick.
"Now lets leave it at that and get down to busy." both nodded ready to start the meeting as Backpack jump off Gear's back and on to the table, using it four leg it walk to the center where a space in it shape was waiting. Backpack slip itself in the space it legs locking in place, from there three gray cube's with clear len's on top of them pop up in front of Static, Gear, and She bang. Backpack shot out three metal wires to each of them.
"Backpack up load file 04- Password Kid lighting." Static spoke and a hologram of Witchblade lite up in front of him.
"Backpack up load file 05- Password Real genius." Gear went next and a hologram of Son of the Fallen came to in front of him.
"Backpack up load file 06- Password Beat down girl." She bang ended as a hologram of Psionic was now in front of her. After pulling out his food Static put his elbow on the table in lend into his palm.
"Now that everythings ready let have ourselves a little meeting," Static said as She bang and Gear take on a serious face. "about if we can trust these three or not."
A forest in Tokyo japan 5:50
Hovering over a forest was now other then Superman, with his poowerful arms cross he seem to be deep in thought. Turning his head to the right he watch as the Martian Manhunter came flying over to him.
"Superman I'm glad you came." J'onn said stopping right in front of him, the man of steel nodded.
"I had to, you sure you've found the Witchblade?" J'onn nodded as he went into detail of what happen with Zatanna and Cyberdata, Superman listen hanging on to every word and wonder if this had any connection to what happened earlier with that armor guy.
"What worrys me the most is that word has it Static has gain three new teammates, and one of them is a female with a blade."
Superman sigh while thinking (That kid just had to find some way to get into this as well) But this might not be such a bad thing.
"I'm kind of hoping she's one of them." Superman said surprising J'onn.
"Why, do you not remember what happen six months ago?" J'onn ask and Superman nodded.
"Yes him, Robin, and Gen 13 save the world from being over run by Omacs!" J'onn sigh at the truth in that but it also cost half of London to be destroyed.
"Maybe but I think it better if you came back to keep in eye on them." Superman sigh once more knowing J'onn was not going to like what he is about to say.
"I can't, I'm needed here to look after Takeru." J'onn rise a non existence eye brow at the man
"Yes. this might sound hard to believe but a living suit of armor call the Black Reaver attack."Needless to say J'onn shock.
"What, why, and is she okay?" as soon as the words left his mouth J'onn smack himself for asking, if Superman was there then of course she was alright.
"Takeru fine but as for why she was attack? I can only think of one reason." Superman mutter the last part and J'onn glare at such a reason.
"The Witchblade! But why?" J'onn argue. "The Witchblade is in the hands of a new user now and Takeru is just a one arm cripple that can't even walk!"
"I don't know J'onn but I don't think that was the last time for it to happen." Supermans face was stone cold at the thought of someone aiming to take the life of a girl who had been through so much already.
"Agreed, I'll just have to keep an eye out on this new user and hope she stays on the path of a hero." J'onn said and Superman nodded.
"Even so keep me updated on what happening." Superman added as J'onn said okay and flew away.
'Sigh' "This is turning into a real mass." the big guy mumble as he to take off heading back to Tokyo.
The power complex 6:00
"I still don't trust her!" She bang stated once more to Static.
"She's too reckless and will likely end up killing somebody!" Static frown at her words
"You'll have to forgive me if I think your wrong."
"You got anything to back that up with." Gear ask speak for the first time in a while.
"Yeah! Beside the fact she already save more then a few people, She always held back when fighting the bad guys." She bang was about to point out what happen to Hotstreak but as if sencing it Static beat her to it.
"And before you bring up flame for brains I'd like to point out Witchblade had been telling the truth when she said she didn't really hurt him."
She bang close her mouth and grimace at him being right as Hotstreak really didn't seem all that hurt even though he was inpale just a day before hand, (Seem Static really want her on the team.) She bang thought sighing but she couldn't help but question his reasons why.
"I'm sure the reason you want her to join so bad has nothing to do with the fact that she walk around half naked." Gear frowned at the shot, but Static seem to remained calm.
"Yeah, and the fact that she also has a bigger bust then your also has nothing to do with it as well." She bang's jaw dropped at his snide remark, then clenched it tightly and glared daggers at the young man.
"She does NOT! And why the hell were you looking?!" She bang yell throwing the only thing she could find at him, a shock box.
"Hey your dating Richie not me, so I'm allowed to look." Static yelled back after ducking under what she threw.
"Look we're not getting anywhere with this one so let move on for now." Gear said breaking up the two needing them back on track, that and he just felt uncomfortable hearing his best friend saying that about his girlfriend. The two nodded back at him.
"Fine then I'll go next! I think Psionic should join." Static rub his chin in thought as having someone with T.K. power could be very useful but Gear on the other hand wasn't so sure.
"I'm not so sure about her." Gear said and became really uncomfortable with the disbelieving look She bang gave him (There goes my make out time for a week.) Gear thought.
"Call me paranoid if you want but I don't feel all that safe around chicks telekinetic powers." Gear stated as She bang growled.
"Oh for the love of- Fine it that the way it gonne be then won't feel bad for stating my mind." She bang said causing Gear to rise an eye brow.
"I don't trust Son of the Fallen." She bang said, and Gear drop the big mac he was eating.
"I mean it, the guy pop up out of the where, Give us some crazy story about a CEO who is know for his charity events and donations to many city in the country that he's really a Immortal Egyptian with dark powers over shadows?" Gear was about to fire back until he ran what she said over in his own head a few time and had to admit it all sounded a bit far-fetch.
"Okay I'll you got a point, but think about what could happen if he's telling the truth and we do nothing?" that cause She bang to stop in her tracks knowing that whatever happen if that was the case would indeed be very bad. Static who had kept quite since they started going at one another spoke up.
"Look clearly we don't know enough to really gauge their trust levels for the time being." She bang and Gear went quite and listen in.
"Friday is when we all meet up and after we make our plans the following monday the 29th is when the the museum expo. We'll use these garthering to see whether we can trust them or not."
Gear and She bang nodded

"Hey Yuri!"
"Hey Virgil, you and your friend done with what ever it was you guys were doing?" Yuri ask wanting to know if he was free.
"Yeah and I was wondering if you were doing anything today?" he asked. Yuri blushed a bright red, (He not asking me out on a date was he?) she thought.
"Not that I know of." she said calmly, though her heart was racing.
"Sweet do you want to catch a movie then?"
"Yes!" the words came out right away and Virgil was somewhat surprise at how fast it came.
"Cool I'll be by to pick you up in ten minutes."
"Great I'll be ready." with that she hang up and ran down to the living room where my Mom and Dad were at.
"Mom, Dad, one of my new friends is coming to pick me up to go to the movies." Mr. Miyazono blinked a couple of times before frowning.
"The boy right, don't even know this Virgil person…" he started off-
"Yes you can go." -But Yuri's Mother step in.
"What but why-" Mr. Miyazono started but his wife cut him off again.
"As long as when he get here he can meet him." Ms. Miyazono finish.
"Sure! Thanks Mom, thanks Dad!" Yuri said happily, sprinting back to her room. Mr. Miyazono turn to his wife with a disbelieving look.
"Why?" was all he ask and she sigh.
"Yuri is no longer the little girl who needed to spend her whole life in a hospital." Mr. Miyazono sigh knowing she was right.
"We got to stop treating her like glass."
Dakota- east side

"Umm okay?" Virgil side not all that sure what was going on.
"Why don't you come in and take a seat on the sofa." Ms. Miyazono said they all sat down.
"Ok lets straight to the point, what are you planing to do with our daughter?!" Mr. Miyazono said surprising him to the point he jump.
"What!? Nothing we're just going to see a movie." Virgil quickly said.
"Please forgive husbud, but we're just a little protack of Yuri, is all." Ms. Miyazono said trying to calm the boy down when Yuri ran in.
"Mom! Dad! Are you trying to scary him off or something?!" Yuri yell while her farther just gave a blank look in return.
"Yes." was all he said causing his daughter to roll her eyes as she grab Virgil and left. Turning to him Ms. Miyazono gave a half smile.
"That was rather mean." Ms. Miyazono said andhe smilk back at him.
"True but that was just my payback for the car drive here." Both of them bust out laughing at that one.
Starbuck 7:00
Jump on top of a buildings She bang smile and pulling out her shock box.
"Yo Gear any word from Static?" She ask over the shock box.

"That odd Starbucks... close... at.. nine?" She bang words slowly fell off as she realize the woman was looking right at her, with a very dark grin. Holding a piece of paper she wave it a few time before setting it on the table and getting up, She bang watch as she got into her car in drive off.
"Oookay that was creepy." She bang mutter watching the red Corvette drive off before knee down and- HAA! HAH! -jumping high into the sky doing a carwheel and landing on top of the Starbucks. About jump once more she stop and look at the paper down be low.
"I should really just leave it there." She bang mutter but flip down to ground level anyway. "I swear if this a joke I'll-
The moment she read what was on the paper her words dead in her mouth, as a wave of horror wash over her, dropping the paper with out a second thought She bang ran off after the red car. As the page landed on the ground we can see the words were few, but more then enough to get the message a cross.
