Deal or No Deal- Sophia

Sophia blinked. She had to admit that Taylor had some balls. The girl had come back to school a couple of weeks after being shoved in her locker, and had come back smiling and happy. Not like on drugs happy, it was a sort of deep contentment. It was interesting, she seemed to have already come to terms with her fathers death.

She shrugged mentally, Hebert had probably just finally broken for good, but Sophia was going to check to make sure. Not really because she hated Hebert, but because she pitied the girl. She was a sheep, wasn't a bad thing really, she just had a hard time realizing that she was lesser then Sophia was.

And she, as her position of predator dictated, would be more then happy to show it to her.

Scene Break

Taylor felt hands on her back as she neared the top of the stairs, it pushed her forward and sent her tumbling down the stairs, crashing into and over the railing, and down to the ground floor.

She impacted with a crash.

She lay there, unmoving, a thought in her mind, a smile on her face.

'I'm happy she hasn't changed. That means I can still be happy once I deal with her…'

Scene Break

Sophia looked in shock as Hebert stood up, a smile still on her face as what looked like liquid silver flowed under Hebert's clothes, solidifying, molding, and then expanding, shredding the grungy clothes she had been wearing.

Until, when it was finished, and a female silver statue stood proudly, a lovely smile prominent on its face.

Sophia stared at the silver statue that had been Hebert, her jaw dropped.

Sophia had once had to do a report on the Venus di Milo, she admitted it to anyone else, but the statue had been beautiful, something that she privately considered to be a perfect form of art.

The living statue in front of her was naked, and other then her smooth metallic features, the two prominent spheres on her chest, and her long silvered hair, was completely smooth, and was so, still, so perfect, that it took her breath away.

And then the statue moved, her metal skin, flexing and creasing without sound, and with that smile still on her face, the statue spoke.

"Sophia, you just tried to kill me."

It spoke with Heberts voice, but it was somehow aged, smoothed, rougher, smokey, beyond all description. Somehow so much better then Hebert had ever sounded, and yet still exactly the same. The statues legs flexed as she crouched, and then she jumped, slamming into Sophia who was still gawking, catching hold of her by her throat. Hebert leaned in close.

"So now, I'm going to kill you."

Sophia tried to struggle around the metallic grasp that was slowly strangling her, but failed. She stared into the pitiless silver eyes. And then phased out, going shadow and through the floor. The last thing she saw before she lost sight of Hebert, was that ever-present smile, finally twisting into a rage filled snarl.

And somehow, that terrified her far more then how close to death she had just come.

Authors Note

Really didn't intend to have this powerset, or Sophias reaction, but I ended up liking it. As far as Taylors appearance, mix a female silver surfer with the Venus Di Milo.

So, Taylors powers are a little confusing, and I'll try and communicate the ratings as best as I can.

Brute 6: Non-Breaker-statue Taylor is immune to explosions and high caliber rounds, could tank Glory Girl and hookwolf. Can still be poisoned or gassed.

Mover 1: Fairly agile.

Breaker 8: Transforms into her statue state with a number of sub ratings inherent onto it.

Breaker state ratings as follows

Brute 7: The silver covering is platinum, She also has a purely defensive form of the Siberians dimensional phase thing. She does have beyond normal strength, but its enough to throw a mack truck, punch through walls, etc. But Mover cannot go toe to toe with an Endbringer or Alexandria. She could tank, but she would never be able to defeat them. It also removes her need to breath.

Mover 3: Can leap single stories in a single bound.

Shaker/Master 4/2: Has an ability similar to Glory Girl except it only makes people distracted by, or admire her.

Thinker 2: Is in a constant low-level state off happiness unless overpowered by another emotion.

So yeah… Wasn't really planning on that particular power or Sophias reaction, but I like it. Taylors cape name will be Galatea, cookie if you can guess where its from.

Next chapter will be a Dennis.
