Dont know why, but this idea had been sticking in my head for a while. Next Chapter is Doctor Jekyl and Mr Hyde.
Idea so here we go, A Taylor with a Bio-tinker, Breaker/Changer power ratings, Basing most the powers off of 'Jekyll' Television show, (On iTunes and Youtube if your curious)
Tinker 6: Can create tinctures, (God thats a stupid word) that can amp Normals into having a significant Brute rating, of course very little or no control over themselves while they are amped, as well as the fact that they're addictive.
Breaker 5: using the Hyde special, can transform into a Dr. Hyde, I say Dr. Because other then the chemical tinker, she has no other medical skills, Dr. Hyde on the other hand… Well, lets just say he knows how to disappear a body and how to put one back together again.
Brute 5(Like in Jekyll): Going of the old show 'Hyde', (On iTunes if your curious) for most of Hyde Heberts' physical abilities. Can lift and throw a full grown lion, can climb up the side of a building, while Hyde nearby electronics will fritz like its a brown out. Not technically fast enough to dodge bullets but is able to see the tensing of muscles and eye twitching and track the trajectory of the barrel which leads to the next category.
Thinker 4: (When Hyde) No real enhanced thought, but stupidly enhanced senses, think dog level nose plus hawk level eyes and Bat level ears. (Euphimism, does not have sonar, but I couldn't think of an animal with stupidly good hearing.)
Mover 5: Can move faster then the human eye can perceive, but only in a short range fashion.
Miss Jekyl and Dr. Hyde
Armsmaster cautiously approached the pharmacy, his bike running silently. The PRT hotline had received a call about a man pushing 7 ft tall in a white dress shirt and suit pants trying to rob a pharmacy.
Now, normally, that on its own wouldn't be anything to interest the Protectorate hero. But the fact that the man had then ripped a 6-inch steel security door straight off its hinges was significantly more so.
Armsmaster radioed into the console before cautiously entering the obviously wrecked store, from the back where the more controlled medications were kept he could hear a feminine cursing along with the sounds of thrown pills. As he made his way through the aisles with counters overturned and bottles of medication and other sundries strewn around a generally wrecked store and towards the back, he found an employee, alive, but unconscious, a trickle of blood coming from their mouth.
Armsmaster frowned. He had hoped to be able to talk down the unknown parahuman, but with the addition of either henchmen or hostages, and the willful assault of civilians, the kid gloves were coming off.
He stepped through the doorway and into the back of the store, and blinked.
Instead of the 7 foot, thin, and drugged out parahuman, was instead a wasted looking, just under 6ft tall, skinny as a rake teenage girl, dressed in oversized clothing and muttering feverishly as she grabbed pill bottle after pill bottle, some she would slip into a small bag she was carrying over her shoulder, the rest she would just toss away angrily, the multicolored pills spilling as the plastic containers shattered, or the lids broke off.
Armsmaster stood tall, his halberd held out in front of him, and then he cleared his throat.
The girl jumped, her shriek loud in the empty store as she whirled towards Armsmaster, one hand falling to a row of vials strapped to her waist that he hadn't noticed before.
"Hostile Parahuman, lie face down on the ground, any attempt to resist arrest or to escape will be met with hostile force."
The girls jaw dropped open, she was obviously shocked, but Armsmaster had to wonder why, she had robbed a store and beaten one of its employees. Not something that would endear her to the local protectorate.
The girl opened her mouth to speak, but groaned in pain and clutched at her side. Her long fingers scrabbled at one of the vials at her side, but just as she was going to bring the vial Armsmaster slapped it out of her hand. The girl gasped, and then drooped slowly.
Armsmaster checked her pulse and then stepped back as she began visibly changing.
Slowly at first, lengthening hair here, a crackling of bone there that slowly sped up until instead of a teenage woman, an, ageless, wrong man with a bald head, who stood up, and smiled, showing rows of white, crooked teeth, that looked like they couldn't decided wether to be canines or molars. The man smiled cheerfully held up one finger, and reached into a pocket, and withdrew a recording device and pressed the play button.
And from it, came the tinny voice of what the hero assumed to be the teen.
'We are robbing the fifth street Pharmacy for the required medication, I have on my person 5 ampules of the number 12, if I am forced to take any you will get the standard reward, if you encounter any Protectorate members use minimum necessary force in order to subdue and then retreat, I will check. And Remember, I love you Hyde. Just a while longer.'
As the voice on the tape continued to speak, Armsmaster could see Hyde's face change. A look of eagerness at the 'standard reward', a look of of joking disgust at 'minimum necessary force', at at the 'I love you' a look of the utmost tender care. Hyde clicked off the recorder and stowed it back in his pocket, and then spoke, his voice, rich and heavy and accented with heavy London vowels and phrasing, and yet somehow wrong.
"Armsmaster. I am Hyde. For my love I give you this one opportunity to leave this place intact. However…"
The smile that bloomed across Hydes face promised pain and suffering in spades.
"However, if you choose to stay, if you choose to fight, I can and will break your arms, your legs, and then your back. I will leave you a cripple who cannot feed themselves, who cannot walk. Who cannot take a shit without help."
Hyde spread his arms wide with a flourish.
"Now! I'll give you three goes! Give it your best shot!"
Armsmaster, cold tigers of ice clenching around his gut roared and lunged forward, his halberds taser crackling, sending fat blue sparks shooting off the metal as it sped towards the immobile Hyde.
Who suddenly wasn't there anymore.
Armsmaster staggered as he failed to make contact with his target and whirled to see Hyde smiling widely. Hyde held up one finger and waggled his eyebrows.
"Thats one! Is that the best you got Halbeard?"
Armsaster snarled and lunged again, ignoring the tremors of nervousness that were making their way through his body.
The thoughts of, can I beat him? Am I really going to lose? Is he going to follow through with his threats?
And then the hero missed for the second time.
Again, Armsmaster whirled to see Hyde, this time making a tsking motion with one finger. Hyde grinned widely and skipped closer as the hero recovered.
"Thats two!" Hyde, with a bow and a flourish pointed towards the broken down pharmacy door. "Remember! You can still leave, but if you take that last go…." Hyde shrugged and rolled his neck, the vertebra cracking loudly in the near silence of the ruined store.
"Well, then Halbeard, I get to have my f-unnnnn!"
Armsmaster, no, Collen, took in a deep, calming breath as Hyde continued talking.
"… And after Ive dealt with you, Ill wait for the Protecteoate to send another hero, oooh, I hope its Miss Milita, Taylor does deserve a girlfriend, and of course if she's mean to my darling I can just eat roast her alive after all…"
While Hyde was mid speech, Collen lunged, and missed for the third and final time.
Then he turned, and almost screamed as Hyde's smiling face was mere inches from his own.
And as the first blow connected, Collen had to wonder,
'Just what was the creature known as Hyde, and what relationship did it have with the girl?'
