[Tattletale[23rd February]
After taking a whole day to ponder her options, she decided that she should go with the safest option(which is unironically the one with the highest rate of success). From what she knew, the Dallons were the aggressive ones in New Wave.
She couldn't risk getting freed from Coil only to end up in a Jail Cell. And she was feeling stupid for even considering PRT. They obviously had dozens of moles in the local branch working for Coil. Otherwise, how the hell would he be able to predict all their movements so easily? Even worse, she was able to hack PRT so fucking easily that it was essentially a joke. Surely, there must be moles from other gangs as well. In fact, she knew 7 of them herself.
It would take time before the moles were completely weeded out. She could have gone to Panacea.
Lisa admits that it would have been the second best decision but she felt it would attract too much attention to her, what with the scary Thinker on PHO being obsessed with his 'goddess PanPan'. Therefore, in her not-so-humble opinion, this was the best opinion. Somehow Lisa couldn't wipe the vulpine grin(as Alec called it) off her face while she rang the doorbell of Pelham house.
Tring Tring
"Coming!" A high pitched voice shouted as soon as the bell rang. Lisa had to wonder whether the Pelhams were always this free. Their house wasn't anything to write home about. It was a modest one, not something you would expect from a superhero family. Then again, you wouldn't expect a superhero family's home address to be publically available.
Lisa tapped her foot against the floor as she waited. This was it. This was her chance to get out of the clutches of that perverted bastard. Still, it somehow didn't feel real. It felt like there would be some deus ex Machina denying her freedom, making her wake up back in Coil's clutches.
Despite what others might think from her choice of outfit being tight spandex, she wasn't perverted and she sure as hell didn't fancy being violated by a hentai monster. As seconds stretched on, her mind conjured increasingly disturbing scenarios leading to her-
"Hey! What's in your mind? You zoned out for a bit." An attractive blonde with a heart shaped face droned out. 'Crystal Pelham', her mind supplied. Laserdream was not supermodel good looking(unlike Glory girl) but she definitely cut an impressive figure.
Lisa was sure she was asexual but she could definitely appreciate sexy people.
"Um. I have a lot on my mind. Sorry for zoning out. I am Lisa Wilbourn. Please call me Lisa."
"And I am Crystal Pelham. You can call me Crystal. What can I do for you?" The chance to her salvation, smiled pleasantly.
"Can I come inside? I have something important to discuss with Laserdream." She responded with an extra focus on the girl's cape name. The blonde arched an eyebrow in response, her suspicion as clear as day. Lisa just grinned back at the cape.
[Is suspicious of you. But feels that you might need help. Feels confident that she can take you out even if you were a cape. Likes your grin. Feels like she knows you from somewhere]
Thank god she hadn't used her power in the last two days(it was an extremely hard thing to do). She could use her power to get the desired result without getting fucked by a Thinker headache.
"Sure." The blonde flyer's lips curled up into a grin themselves. Laserdream signaled her to enter. She heard the dull sound of the door closing as soon as she entered the house.
The interior was pretty clean if she said so- at least a lot cleaner than their hideout. Alec was a bitch(technically, Rachael was Bitch but she wasn't pedantic). She knew the bastard kept making a mess because it frustrated her. Don't even get her started on Rachael. The girl and her dogs were contaminating the whole base.
It was only last Sunday that Brian was complaining about hair in his pizza. Everyone knew who the hairs belonged to. She still felt disgust creep up to her as she remembered the former bouncer's vomiting spree.
"Go to the first floor. My room is the second last one on the left side. It's unlocked. Make yourself at home. I'll be there in a moment." Lisa nodded in response. She had to be on her best behaviour no matter how much she wanted to portray her smugness.
[Going to inform someone. Who? Most likely her parents. Feels responsible. Doesn't want to deal with a possibly important situation without informing her parents]
Lisa felt a twinge of envy as she glanced at the flying cape's back. She couldn't help but wish that her parents were the same, that she could have felt safe talking to her parents like that. A sigh escaped her lips.
'Come on, Lisa. You left them behind years ago. Not the time to ruminate on your past.' She thought to herself, before going to Crystal's room.
Her first thought about this? 'She needs to clean her room a lot more'
Somehow, her room looked messier than that of Alec. And she knew that he liked to make his room messy. At least the bed was comfy.
Lisa could inspect the things lying around for information but she didn't want to waste her power before the time came for its use. And she had read enough Detective novels to know that she would get caught as soon as she was immersed in something.
She really didn't want to ruin her chance at freedom just because she was too curious for her own good. And yes, she read Detective novels. They were a guilty pleasure of hers even when her power tries to make it very difficult to read them without being spoiled.
The patter of bare feet slapped across the floor filled with tiles as Lisa heard them come closer each second. She immediately straightened herself up.
Not a moment later, Laserdream Pelham was at the door entrance, eyes narrowed in thought and two cups of coffee in her hands.
Is that suspicion in her eyes?
[Looking for anything out of place, looking for a potential ambush. Doesn't want to be blindsided.]
Seconds stretched on forever as the blonde cape inspected the room with critical eyes. Suddenly, Lisa was glad that she didn't mess with anything. After a while, Laserdream stopped trying to be Sherlock Holmes(that was her job) as her shoulders relaxed. She didn't get power to tell her that some inexplicable tension left the New Wave member.
Laserdream walked towards the bed, skillfully avoiding the things littered on the floor, and sat next to her, handing her a coffee offhandedly.
Lisa turned towards the superhero with a smile on her face, hiding the nervousness beneath it.
"So what brought you to our humble abode?" Laserdream asks with a matching smile.
"Oh nothing much. It's just that I am currently under the employ of a supervillain and I want out." She gleefully watched as Laserdream choked on her coffee. Lisa would gladly admit that she did it on purpose.
In a way, that made her similar to Prophet- the only difference being that one was limited in scope and the other had too much information on their hands. Unsurprisingly, that brought her a twinge of annoyance. She was self-aware enough to know of her need to be the smartest person around.
That's why encountering someone so much above her league and the chances of them being in Brockton Bay(which meant that she wasn't the smartest person in the Bay), made her not-too-happy. The headaches she got while trying to gain information about him may also be part of the reason she didn't like them.
While she was thankful for the heads-up, she felt Prophet to be more of an annoyance rather than a helper. Is this what Panacea must be feeling right now? Suddenly she felt sorry for the poor girl.
"You timed that, didn't you?" Laserdream said, finally wiping the spilled tea. Her glare did nothing to dissuade Lisa.
"What can I say?~" She said in a singsong smug tone. Now, only if she could stop herself from antagonising the person she is supposed to get help from.
"You are insufferable." The cape huffed.
"That I am." Her teammates felt the same. She saw the blonde's lips curl up before she started chuckling, Lisa joining in the laughter as well. Making the atmosphere lighter was Manipulation101. It's not like she didn't need it. Her nervousness was eating her inside.
"Well now that jokes are over. Can we get to the heart of the matter? I'll choose to believe that you aren't joking about your circumstances. Please tell me everything about it." The cape's face was set into a stern expression, well as stern as a teenager can get. Still, she couldn't help but feel reassured about this.
[Face set in stern expression to express seriousn-]
Shut up, power. I don't need that.
"Well you see, there is a supervillain named Coil…" And just like that, a dam burst open.
Lisa shared everything she knew about Coil, about the Undersiders(without revealing their identities) and about her less than fortunate circumstances. Laserdream remained nearly silent throughout your rant only chiming in to ask some questions whenever she felt out of her depth. It helped that the Undersiders hadn't committed any major crimes. Even the money they had stolen was from other gangs and that is acceptable Vigilante behavior.
"...And two days back Prophet posted about a tentacle monster in Coil's basement. I don't want to be raped by a tentacle monster. Please help me." By the end of it, she had tear droplets in her eyes. She hurriedly wiped them away because Lisa Wilbourn didn't cry- that was what Sarah Livsey did. Lisa Wilbourn was a stubborn woman who loved to frustrate others with her vulpine grin. She definitely didn't cry.
Suddenly, she was pulled up in a hug as her face met the impressive bosom of her fellow blonde. Her breasts weren't anything huge like those of her brick-headed cousin but they were a healthy size. Lisa blushed at the sexual connotations, momentarily forgetting about the ongoing topic.
"It has been hard, hasn't it?" She involuntarily nodded.
"Don't worry. It will be ok. Let it all out. You aren't alone, Lisa. I am there for you." Crystal said -since when did she become Crystal?- soothingly as her friend patted her on the back. She didn't cry- she really didn't cry like a little girl. And she definitely didn't keep her new friend in a death grip while she cried tears of relief.
"Did you enjoy my breasts on your face?" Despite herself, she blushed at the blunt question. Her fellow blonde was grinning mischievously. So that's what it felt like to be on the receiving end.
"You'll not mention this to anyone else." She was aware of the fact that she avoided the question. Did she care? No.
"Duly noted." Las- Crystal said, her lips twitching in bemusement. Thankfully, she didn't hint at her previous question. She wasn't sure she could answer that appropriately. Despite her bravado, she hadn't been in a relationship before and didn't really have an extensive knowledge of the norms associated with them.
Glancing at the girl who she revealed almost everything to, Lisa couldn't help the smile on her face. Before today, she was certain that she was an aromantic and asexual. Now, she wasn't sure anymore. Maybe she just needed the right impetus. Blonde girls with medium sized breasts seem to be her type at the moment. Wait, is that narcissism? She was sure that the same description fit her.
Getting rid of the useless thoughts, she asked the important question, "Now what?"
"Now, I'll tell Mom and Dad to inform them about this matter. They are on their way and should be arriving in a few minutes. This is so far above my league that it's not even funny. I came here expecting a prank or a new cape seeking advice. Instead, I get this." Crystal says, exasperation clear in her voice.
Lisa knew that her new friend didn't mean anything by that but she couldn't help but snark back- "Oh I am really sorry- Your peace was more important than a gun on my head."
That- that came out way more hostile than it was in her head.
"S-sorry I didn't mean-" "Nah. It's ok. You are under lots of pressure."
An uncomfortable silence reigned for a few moments. She really shouldn't have said that.
She looked at Crystal to gauge her real reaction and not the one she iterated.
[Feels guilty for making an insensitive joke. Wants to save you. Considers you a friend.]
Wait, seriously? Her lips couldn't help but curl up into a grin.
"Hey, Crystal?"
"Yes?"
"Can you meet me at my team's hideout? I should be going. Otherwise, the others will start getting suspicious."
"Ok. Just don't try anything foolish in the meantime. You have my number. If anything happens, call me." She nodded. With that confirmation, she headed outside but not before hearing Crystal's phone ring and a little bit of her talk.
"Yo Eric. What's up? Hm. Ok. PHO? Why? WHAT?" Huh? It's only been two days since Prophet posted. Surely, they wouldn't post again within 2 days. If they did, she hoped they didn't post anything incriminating this time. While she liked a little chaos, she didn't want to watch the world collapse on itself.

Topic: Slaughterhouse9 is no more! Jack Slash killed!
In: Boards Places America Supervillain Discussion
Bagrat (Original Poster) (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Posted on Feb 23rd, 2011:
No lurkers, this isn't a joke. I don't fancy being banned. S9 are a sensitive topic after all or rather they were.
My sources have informed me- As of now, most of the current S9 members including Jack Slash have been killed. You heard me people- the Nine are dead. No, this isn't a joke(once more reassuring you all).
On 23rd Feb, 2011 i.e. 2 days ago, prophet the greatest Thinker currently known to the world (PRT gave him a Thinker 10 which means 'Don't engage under any circumstances') announced a few things which shocked the whole world. But we aren't here to discuss those things.
What I want to say is that one of the announcements included the secret to killing Jack fucking Slash. The point I wanted to make is that it hasn't even been two days since then and the vile piece of shit who was the leader of the Nine is dead as fuck.
No one knows who did it but several locals(from Ground Zero) mentioned a hooded figure enter the town a day prior. As the Nine were passing through the mentioned town, nearly an hour back, Jack Slash was headshotted.
Now, as scarily powerful Bonesaw is, she isn't powerful enough to revive the dead. Jack's remains(from the fight that occured afterwards) indicated that his brain was directly blown off.
What happened afterwards was something no one would have thought in even their dreams(except Conspiracy theorists). Not moments after Jack died, Shatterbird started singing. Immediately afterwards Burnscar started burning the whole area.
This double attack by their own members killed Hatchetface and Chuckles before they could even respond to anything. From here the details are a bit blurry as the local PRT was focused on evacuating the town and also because no one wanted to be in the midst of an ongoing S class battle.
Though the general consencus of the onlookers(mostly deployed PRT officers) is that there was a grueling three way battle between Mannequin,Burnscar and Shatterbird resulting in the death of the Tinker and the pyrokinetic. Shatterbird was grievously injured and was subdued by the local Protectorate capes Azazel and Silver Bullet. She is currently in PRT custody.
Apparently Jack was the one holding the Nine together. They imploded immediately upon his death. This adds even more proof to the 'Jack is a Master/Thinker' theory. (prophet, I am not implying that your announcements were wrong in any way. Just stating a fact.)
Moving on, Siberian had already left the van when Shatterbird and Burnscar attacked. She was holding Bonesaw and protecting the biotinker with her invincibility. From what the local CCTV cameras were able to record before getting destroyed in the resulting in the battle is Crawler issuing Siberian a challenge now that Jack was dead.
Siberian refused and tried to escape but the adaptable monstrosity's speed is nothing to scoff at. He blocked Siberian and Bonesaw's escape. Ultimately, the cannibalistic projection(yes, it was an projection. I'll come back to this) had no choice but to fight.
The resulting fight was too short for a fight of such epic proportions but that was what we wanted, didn't we? At the end of it, Siberian managed to crush Crawler's brain disabling his Corona Pollentia and disabling his powers.
Now, I said that the Siberian was a projection, didn't I? Well, when these fights were going on, the PRT troopers found a van in the vicinity of those fights. From a quick analysis, it was concluded that the van was suspiciously visible whenever the S9 were around. The PRT troopers found an unconscious old aged man(later identified as Doctor William Manton, the scientist who presented the Manton Effect) in the van.
They apprehended William and left the area only for Siberian to start speeding towards them as soon as its fight with Crawler ended. One of the PRT troopers named James Black, bless his soul, realised that something was very very wrong.
He disobeyed protocol( they wouldn't have survived if he didn't) and unloaded his entire clip into the shithead's brain. At the same time the Siberian popped out of existence. Yep folks. One of the best scientists in existence was the cape controlling Siberian, one of the worst villains in existence. I am really starting to believe that our world has dozens of conspiracies just waiting to be unveiled.
Now, the only bad news(and a very big one) is that Bonesaw was last seen being enveloped by a portal. That means a villain has their hands on Bonesaw and the little devil is free to release bibilical plagues if she is in the mood for revenge.
Here's the video footages I was able to get:

@Melody-Char I completely agree. And I think PRT does as well. James is going to get off with a slap on the wrist. The man is a fucking hero. I wouldn't be surprised if a few politicians put pressure on the PRT if they try to be difficult. God knows the Nine have hurt enough people to have haters everywhere.

Am I in a coma or what? First prophet revealing conspiracies upon conspiracies and now S9 being dead?
It's official- the world has stopped making sense.
(Edit: @FuckSlaughterhouse I apologise if my comment felt it like I was supporting those disgusting fuckers. I just meant to express my shock.)

Ayo, what the fuck? Siberian was a projection? And it was one of the most intelligent scientists of our times?
Really not sure how to feel about that. For once, I completely agree with you Bagrat. It feels like our world is full of conspiracies. I am not even going to make a perverted joke this time.
I pray for those poor people who got tortured by the vile scum known as the Nine. May you all rest in peace.

@DruggedAsshole believe it or not, I am not a follower of the 'Kill all Villains' mindset. Heck, I usually consider peaceful methods first. The Nine and some other select few scum are the only people I would want dead.
Also, I think that we should take it to the DMs. This is a very serious thread. We shouldn't debate here.

A/N: Voting is closed.
You all will get the next chapter tomorrow(hopefully). I hope you all like this chapter. Before anyone complains about Tattletale falling for Laserdream, let me mention my part of the argument:
Lisa is still a teenager. She is bound to have some hormones.
She has been on the run since puberty hit her and then recruited at gunpoint. The only friends she has are: a guy with practically no emotions, a guy with too much pressure on him and a girl who is more dog than human(mentally). I don't think that anyone can develop a relationship with such people. Only Grue is somewhat possible but it's still hard.
Lisa just unloaded (almost)all her problems onto someone. The sheer emotional relief she felt, would color her perception. It would instead be impossible to not develop comaraderie for someone you unloaded your burdens on.
It's just a small crush. It's nothing special like 'Love at First Sight' or some shit.
Well, that's my argument. Now you can think whatever you want. Onto the next matter, I hope the portion with the S9 was satisfying to you all. Any votes after this won't be counted.
