Stuck Back In Time

after that day of fighting i had to figure out where everything was going now, as we set up TP (more as club house now, no more annoying clients who actually think that we're "professionals") i decided that we needed somewhere bigger, somewhere with space for al our needs and things that we dont want people to know, suddenly i remembered the old LA high building, it was run down so i got a good deal, we fixed up pretty fast, we are super powered after all! i talked to 3D about her power, where she told me about her twin brother Xander, how she and he had been swapping places throughout the fight.
"why?" i asked, it was a good plan but what i didn't understand was why she was doing that, or how!
"well, welook feakishly alike, so i figured that since we both were quick at spinning everything around to suit us, that we would switch places to minimize the chances of me dying, he's a good brother"
"ok, so i know how, and why, but how did you get up the sydney harbour bridge?" i asked.
"i can control earth! its like having control of air! i control the world as we know it, i cant dramitically change it bt i control everything under the sun"
"wow" i couldn't help myself, i needed that power! i nulled her ability to feel pain, took her power and walked out of the room, i know it was wrong, but it was such a great power! she had heaps of powers all in one! it was like she had the power that truly controls everything! she could wipe out the world if she wanted to! she chased after me, i needed to rashionalise this, but how? i TKed her out the window of the LA high building. i shouldn't have done that. i instantly regretted it, i jumped after her, i suddenly saw her hand, it was covered in blood. like what Ali drew while she had Omni's power. i brought up some land, i landed on it before she did, i caught her with TK. i summoned Linda.
"i need you to give her the power of--"
"demensional design" she said.
"thats what its called?" i asked.
"yeah" she transfered them back. whats wrong with me? no more villain? DAMN!

"sorry" i said to 3D.
"thats fine, my power is tempting, you are so lucky that it was huge buiolding and that the others didn't see you"
"dont i know it!" our reconcilliation was cut short when Evan Drake telepathed a message of help to me.
"help!!!" i spep to wear i could hear screams. it was John

he confirmed that Sage was dead, he also said about how he didn't deserve RW anyway, apparently he just didn't know how to use it. i looked at my friends, they looked helpless, i summoned Linda, the others couldn't fight, their powers were gone, john must have gotten some extra powers while he was with Sage. he said it was power deleting (which Linda confirmed).
As Linda and i fought him i realised that we needed VHS to help, i concentrated and tried to tell Tempest about what was happening, but all i got was static, he was awake but i just couldn't get through. linad tried to take his powers but he was almost imune, (empasis on the ALMOST), i noticed that he probably had mind powers, and that like when Mia and i battled Jorge he was weakened by loud sounds, as i made several of the old schoold bells ring he was clearly about to snap, i TKed him against a wall before he could even get a word out, as i was about tp finish him off 3D walked in with bronze eyes, she was joined by her brother, Xander, he had gotten to the top floor fast due to his terrakinesis, he had elevated the ground and came through the window.
i was met by many floorboards, i ordered (effectively) to John that he give my friends they're powers back. he did. soon both of the 3D's were in the air and being bombarded with fire, ice and electricity (ice was from me) they dropped to the ground, effectively dead. John was trying to sneak off (powerless, thanks to me, i got him to delete his own powers) but i TKed him out the window and i heard the final bone crunch.

We buried them at Coyote sands that night, i used clarsentiance on one of the cabins. it showed Linda, she was there, talking to someone, a boy who looked like Damian, in fact, i think it was! he was stuck back in time! in a place full of people with superpowers, if he was able to control his hunger or not was unclear, but he was there.

Fighting Sage

After the revalation that all that stuff that happened after i returned from my trip to the future (it must've been set in motion shortly after i'd regained my powers) had all been fake, i had to seek out Sage, i didn't care about what would happen, i just had to get rid of him. even if it killed me. i summoned my TP group, they were all looking worn out. it turned out that they'd been trying to take down Sage.
i met some of The C.H.A.S.E, they were powerful! anyway, Roxy got into contact with the rest of TP (without telling me, Samantha and Talkie for some reason, maybe she didn't think they were powerful enough) after she became part of The C.H.A.S.E, using one of the other members powers (i think it tracking/teleportation) they went after Sage, he caught them and kept them under surveilance. he must've wanted to hold them over me or something, it seemed that i'd saved them all. i needed as many people on my team as possible, i teleported with Roxy to The C.H.A.S.E, i had to make sure that she kept my power (which will be now be hers) of electricity so she could get in to the buiilding.
alot of them wanted to help, they came with us without persuasion, the guy that we call Gravity came, which will really help, he manipulated gravity. we comenced with our plans, of course, i didn't count on Linda showing up.
"nice job, you got your powers back, and gave everyone elses's powers back too, but i just think you're too powerful" she said. i TKed her against a wall, she started to take a few of my powers, i could feel space/time manipulation being taken, and my power medling ability, i took a few of hers but they reverted back to her.
"this is'nt a game, i need my powers!" i shouted at her, my team and the members of C.H.A.S.E looked on, suddenly PowerPoint (she could absorb electricty) took power from the lamp next to Linda, as the electricity flowed out of the lamp and made its way to her, the electricty got Linda. as Linda was in the middle of being shocked, she disappeared. i couldn't teleport now, this was becoming complicated.
i began to track Sage, he appeared to be with John, in Sydney. i took all of the team who had offensive powers, to where he was, well i sped there and then summoned them when i got there, unless of course if they had other means of transportation like 3D, he could move the world around so that he could travel, when he was where he wanted to be, he would put the world back in place, it wasnt a passive power so he could only go by himself, i know it doesn't sound like an offensive power, but he could focus on specific parts of the world to move. he had a secondary power to make earthquakes.
we stood there on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, before i go into details about the fight i just want to mention that there was a large traffic jam beneath us, so if one us fell, it wouldn't go unnoticed.
As Sage stood there with John he was melting one of the supports of the bridge.
"you come closer and down goes everyone" he threatened, i'd seen the Fantastic 4 so i knew that it would be hard to stop this, but not impossible. i sped at him and knocked John into the water, but he reappeared. "i can do anything i want, remember?" he TKed me towards the cars below, my team started to fight against him, while i plunged towards all those people. i tryed to TK myself to stop, but suddenly i remembered that i had telepathy, and that loud noises disrupt it, TK is also regarded as a mind power. as i plunged i turned into water. i reformed, which i think a kid saw since he was calling out 'Its Supergirl!' since all powers that are directly manifested from my mind were out, i sped up the bridge, and punched Sage off the top.as he fell i followed him. i kept up but by using PK, like Jonny Storm! i caught up to Sage, who was just realising that teleportation and his TK wouldn't work since he was closer to the cars. i froze him, before he could melt the bridge (which was about to happn) but before i could shatter him he went into the water, i followed and used TK to take him, (since you cant hear anything underwater). i swam at superspeed and made it back up to the bridge, where John had disappeared somehow.
"my guess is that he'd left a clone and we'd killed that" said Roxy. i started to wonder if i'd really killed Sage, since he may have had a clone too, but i had killed him for now.
I forgot to mention that Shifter is back! she didn't come to the bridge but shewas back, which generated some teary reunions for some, but somehow, i knew that she still alive.

The Good Of Power

pre- explosion--
its been a while now, i ran off after the explosion, i'll tell you now that Stan and i ventured into the future to see if i ever get my powers back, what happened was future me (with powers) grabbed us and took us back the second we turned up! we blinked in and out through different area's of time until we finally turned up on a large building, future me became weak and Stan held onto her to keep her standing i stood back, i knew that he was better with my powers now, suddenly i felt a force push me over the edge of the 30 story building, i plummeted down and suddenly felt that this was it, that i was going to hit the ground and never see what would happen to Sage, then i felt myself eing lifted up, it was Stan! he had flew down and caught me!suddenly i remembered the precog drawing i had seen in the comic the day the coffee shop, the guy flying with the girl. she appeared to have electricity in the picture, so i tried to use my powers. success! my powers drained out of Stan and back into me. we both started to head for the ground but i teleported back up on the roof to see that future me was siting there with a smile on her face while my powers continued to be drained out of Stan and into me. i didn't know if it was future me or me who saw this first but due to the change she made by triggering my regain of my powers sooner, i saw VHS in B26. it may have been wrong to go there, but i had to. it seemed i was getting the hang of helping, i saw that it was too dangerous to go with Stan but i took him anyway and gave him a gun. i'd kept him under intense invisibility while we were there and sent him back when i seemingly blew up.

post explosion--
i blew up, well.. they saw me blow up, i quickly took Lily's power and put a forcefield around her, as i blew up with radiation i knew that it couldn't be seen outside. in DC, where B26 agents may still be lurking, or worse even: Danko himself. i put strong FF's on the walls, and the explosion never left the building. i'm not sure what happened to Sage, but i only know that he is still out there. after the explosion i summoned the tracker that Death used to have, i took his power and i caught up with future me.
"i lost Sage" she said.
"i'll take care of him! but why did you have to give me my powers back, it was too early, right?"
"yeah," she said, "but if i'd left it you would-we would've lost our friends" she answered.
Sage suddenly appeared and threw an electric (and strong) ball at me (future me) she died on impact, i sped at Sage with black lightening at the ready, he disapeared and i was met by John. i out-smarted him by leaving a clone there and going to TP, it was an empty building now. but i was determined to bring everyone back, and for us to all work toward one goal: to catch Sage, he wont delete us from existence, he wants to play with our minds. but he could still do it.
i'll keep you posted on my planned TP gathering.

Back To Basics

Tt sucks not having powers, i can no longer TK through a wall and cant summon historic shields from the museum. i tried to get Stan to transfer powers over to me, but he couldn't, as soon as they get any where near me he loses control and they go back to him. Linda has really out done herself this time. i think about whether or not it was actually Linda who did this, it could easily have been Sage. i guess it doesn't matter who did it.
Stan and i went out for a burger, i tried to teach him some basic telepathy skills, but putting a thought into someones mind isn't what he likes to do, he's a normal person who doesn't believe in using powers to get his way!! why does he have my powers? i'm so much more efficient. it was then that Sage walked in, i told Stan about it immediatly. he shot fire at him from under the table, he (Sage) distinguished it before anyone noticed. he stopped time, he kept me in it and Stan out of it. how would that have worked?
ANYWAY--
"are you blind Cleo?" he says, he had that smile on him that (before all this) was linked to happiness and like he was having a riot of a laugh with a joke no-one else understood. that was driven out of my mind as i now associated this particular smile with deviousness and contempt.
"no, but you will!" i threw coffee in his eyes and ran, but everything disappeared, it was just darkness. but Sage stayed.
"Linda was the one who switched the powers, it had nothing to do with me. i know you Tavara's, you test people until they go crazy, are you losing it yet Cleo?" he said. "cos if you are, i can easily put you out of your misery, if you catch my drift" he said. i threw a punch at him, he dodged like Peter Parker did in the first Spiderman movie. i suddenly remembered Chans power, how what you've already gained doesn't disappear. i threw a hard kick at him and flipped out of the way of the fire he threw at me. i managed to knock him with a wrestling move i'd seen on TV. everything went back to normal, Stan asked what happened.
"i got back to basics" i shrugged and walked out, tipping the waiter a nice amount of money (thanks to Sage's flowing wallet). no powers? yes, but am i bummed about it? no, its just a challenge, a mystery, and i love a good, complex mystery to solve.

Split

it wont be forever, but after a heated discussion we all decided that it was best to go back to California, stay in the state but live seperate lives for a while. Linda tweaked the powers to test all of our strengths and wits, so we should be apart for that. i know that we're stronger together than we are apart but i think we all needed some space, we had to work out what we wanted now that our priorities had changed. Stan is staying with me in my apartment, he wanted to know how to control my powers, and i wanted to keep my powers close.

heres what the others are up to--

  • Ali and Charlie are living in Costa Verde now, its a small town but there are a few specials there so they wont be alone. of course, they'll have to lay low for a while, people may know Ali's face from the news, Mum probably reported her missing, i insisted that ali call her but she refused."how would i explain whats been going on?" she asked me. i had no answer.

  • Geoff went back to his wife in LA, he now has super memory so he'll have to make sure she doesn't ask him: "when did you get such a memory?" i think he'll be okay. he's smart (ish)

  • Dave is in Beverly Hills as a teacher. in biology. i'm sure he'll love this job, but the kids would probably find him boriing, he's like... Frank from The Vicar Of Dibley.

  • Omni is now working in San Francisco, she's a healer but inside shes a precog. she is now a bookie for a few rich guys at a country club, they think they need more money! i wonder what happened to their last bookie... she hangs around the golden gate bridge alot, probably to heal the suicide jumpers, i guess she took on a bit of Daves advice.

  • Talkie is working at an electronics store in Fresno, he still has a bit of his persuasion skills and he has technopathy! so i think he'll do really good at that job, provided he doesnt blow up all the computers. Samantha also works there, she now has persuasion and has electronics skills, they'll both do really well.

  • Tayla is still in LA, she's in Hollywood and lived the Orlando Bloom fan's dream! she saw him and made everything move slowly, he apparently looked sooo hot! she is working as a secretary, i'm sure she'll be good at this but she could do better.
  • Roxy is working at Sacramento's MacDonalds, you might not think its good but imagine the friers cooking power if she charges it!!! yum!
  • Chelsea is living in Fresno, she has this theory that if she jumps from a high building that she could stop a nanosecond before she hits the ground. it would probably be better to try this off of the Hollywood sign, but i've always had the suspicion that she and Tayla never really like eachother.

i knew that we'd meet up at the end of the month, but what then? what if we dont have everything in order? i'm sure we will but its a scary prospect.

PS: sorry about the delay, this was supposed to be posted last night but Stan couldn't control my PK so i had to help him with that.

When Are We? Part 2

Present Day: we just got back, we're still working out what we're going to do about this problem, Sage and John i mean. they seem like... Villains! so what does that make me? i started as a villain, then a fugitive, now... a hero? fighting villains? this is so weird!!! somehow thrilling too, i guess i'm... morally grey. but anyway i went out into the hallway of my hotel for some air, everyone was arguing over our powers, it seems that they've been tweaked by Linda. normal Linda, i'll explain soon.

Somewhere back in time. way, way, back in time:
Stan and Geoff returned from their walk into the rock formation.
"couldnt find anything except this" Stan said. he handed Omni a box of pictures.
"were gonna die!!!!" Ali screamed.
"no we're not babe" says Charlie.
"yes we are! they couldn't find anything! no food, no water! all they found was that little box with them damn pictures in it!"
"i woudn't count those damn pictures out yet" Geoff said. he held up a very damaged picture of lightning. "we might have some evidence as to where we are"
"how? from some picture?" Ali was hysterical! like a child who didn't get the toy she wanted.
"its what the picture represents"
"how bad the HD was whenever the hell we are?" she asked.
"no, that we're in a place wear there are actually pictures, so we wont be seeing any dinosaurs" he said jokingly.
Ali breathed a sigh of relief, "oh thank god! cos' these shows are not made to be eaten by a T-Rex"
we skip to when we were all dehydrated and hungry, i dont know if we would've made it if it were'nt for that picture of lightning, for us to wonder about. we shuffled through the other pictures, there were quite a few, all were badly damaged then we came to one that was newer. it was of darkness, just pure darkness, but it was somehow... new, i cant explain it. Omni grabbed a magnifying glass out of her pocket and looked over it, at the end of it was a white dot, it was so small that it was hard to even make out, but it was there. Stan started to leap for joy.
"what?" we asked him, i thought he'd been stung by a scorpion.
"there was cave as pitch black as that one! and i thought that i'd seen i slight glint at the other end.
"you couldn't have told us this before?!!!!?!!?!?!??!" Ali was angry and didn't care who knew it, she took out some tic tacs and put one in her mouth. we stared at her. "what?" she asked.
"you had tic tacs all this time?!" Roxy shouted. Ali stood there with a confused look on her face.
"yeah, but these are mints... not food" we snatched them off her and each of us had one. we soon set off for that cave.

there it was, a cave so dark that we felt like we were somewhere in between worlds, how in The Chronicles Of Narnia, Magicians Nephew there was a wood between the worlds, nothing happened there, and it felt like that to me. We walked in, we were encased with darkness and i had a large impulse to go back, but i was unsure where 'back', was, my memories faded and i felt as if i'd never left this place, we soon saw the glint at the end of the tunnel. it got larger and larger, i felt as though it had been a hundred years since i'd seen light, for all i know it had been. we crossed through it to see an endless white space. it all felt real now. we were in our time again. were the tunnels portals created for us to go through? this whole thing was so strange! we walked onwards, Ali rushed ahead, we ran after her, only to come out a door in VHS!

present day 4 hours ago: Omni's eyes went green suddenly and a light went through Ali, Ali's eyes turned white, she used a fake nail to scratch a precog drawing into the wall. i dont know what it was, she stopped herself and returned to normal (we got angry at her for that, it could've been useful), but i could tell that we had to tell Tempest that by going all the way through that void, we had found a way through time itself. i was bewildered and i thought about the power switch, i tested mine only to see that was no longer in illusion status, i was normal me. i had no powers, Stan had mine!

Fast forward to a few miutes ago: Linda made herself visible only to me, she was using some kind of mental manipulation on everyone around.
"why did you do this?" i asked her.
"what makes you think i did it?" she asked me.
"i know you. i know Tavara's! they play games and give people tests that make them go insane!"
"ok it was me, but it wont be forever, i just thought that you'd been too occupied on your powers, its time you thought outside the box, it wont last forever, i've given you lots of clues as to how to get them back"
"So?" i asked her. "whats the use of clues if you cant work them out?"
"so work them out" she disapeared.

11 May, 2009

When are we? part 1

the VHS team that showed up went home, i sent them there, of course... it was a bit weird, since i was still under the impression that i was sending illusion home, i did that anyways.

So anyway: Sorry i havnt posted, we've only just escaped Sage's games. Sage is still impersonating Howard, i'm not sure why, maybe just to get on my nerves. well he got into the hotel we were all staying at, Omni warned me but since i'd learnt my lesson that her dreams are rarely avoided, i told the others to just stay put. in my hotel room on the top floor. so why that little tidbit? well if we were in seperate rooms then maybe i wouldn't have been thrown out the window powerless! well we were patiently waiting for them to burst in, they appeared out of nowhere. Howard (Sage) made my powers disapear. that sucked! of course, it only lasted temporarily or else i would be dead, or would i? one person wasnt there and that was Stan. i yelled out to him and looked up, he caught me.
"well that was unexpected" he said. my powers returned, it was obvious that they thought i was dead, but how did they know that we'd survived the explosion. suddenly my telepathy and my clarsentiance comboed and i could see Sages memories:
last year was when he manifested his powers, that was when he met Omni, Shifter and Chan, he mimicked her power, then Chans, he tried using both as the ultimate fighting tool but he found that when he gains one, the other disapears. skip to now: he looks on and replays the explosion his mind, he picks up my past thoughts and how they didn't stop after the explosion. thats what tipped him off.

i rush back up.
"you could've just simply 'deleted' me from existence" i said to Sage and John.
"well that wouldn't be fun now would it?" Said Sage, the two villains disapeared and the goons appeared.
after a while of being tied up i tried to use telepathy again, i tried all my powers. no dice. i got off the couch and walked up to the guy with the goatee, i think his name was Stinger, he could charge things, but not like augmentation or like electricity. it was hard to explain. i punched him out and cut the others loose, my powers returned and we all had a battle. Stinger woke up and knocked people out with just a poke and i electrified them all somethin shockin! i soon realised that the goons were indestructable. i could feel my powers slowly being weakened, i TKed the others out the windows and i soon followed. we were headed towards the ground and i couldn't use illusion to stop people from seeing us and i couldn't use TK to keep us afloat. then the world started to spin, i found that all of us were in a desert. it was that space manipulation thing that i dont understand! where i could morph space. Linda appeared and rendered the others unconcsious.
"you got your powers back, now you just have to figure out when you are" she said.
"dont you mean where we are?" i asked, suddenly feeling scared.
"whatever helps you sleep at night" she said. she morphed back into Sage and before i knew it everyones powers had been taken.
"its not forever. your powers i mean, i dont promise anything about how long you'll be here. i just figured, i have all this power. so why not torture people with the element of never knowing?" he disapeared with an evil grin on his face. i screamed out of pure frustration. the others tried to use their powers but i had to tell them that it woudlnt work. i looked at the formation of rocks up head.
"something tells me we're not in Kansas anymore Todo" said Omni. she held up a picture that she had drawn before we'd come. it was of us standing there and looking at something, whatever it was, i knew it wasn't the wizards castle.

07 May, 2009

Re-manifesting and the day long question is answered.

its funny what can happen in one day, i went to NYC last night, but tonight i'm in DC, why did this and how i even managed to get here was hard to answer. i guess i'm just a sucker for a chance to stay alive.

Why i left LA: Linda told me that Howard was in NYC, that she'd seen him and fought him, but he'd won and ran off, she tracked him and he's still there. i ran there to destroy him, take his powers, and stop that explosion. i never suceeded in any of those things.

What happened: it was weird, i sat in my old apartment building stairway, i thought that Howard would hide there, no such luck, then i noticed that i was hearing something, it was weird but famililiar. i was hearing thoughts! someones phone went haywire (they were texting right next to me), my hand when invisible, and a nearby exterminator had a forcefield around him. my head dropped from this burst of power, i noticed one of Omni's drawings stuck to my foot. it depicted all this and then there was the explosion, the explosion only had an outline while the rest of it was coloured, 'she may not have finished it', i told myself but it was on the floor so Omni must have finished it! before i could further ponder this, i saw him. Howard. we were suddenly in LA. TP, i knew for a fact that no-one was there except Jason, but i couldn't ask Jason for help, considering he wasn't real, just a creation by Howard.
"Surprised?" asked Jason. i was speachless, he disapeared and as i looked at Howard i saw something perculiar, he was becoming a bit taller, his hair a bit darker and his teeth were whiter, it was noticable because of the smirk he had on his face. he slowly turned back in Sage.
"what the hell!?" i was surprised, relieved, angry and happy all at the same time.
"you thought that RW would corrupt me, and it did! but not when i took it, it was to help the world! your distrust drove me to this!" he exclaimed.
"killing us all?" i asked him, "using people with nothing to do with this as pawns?" i was shocked, this wasn't something that Sage would do, but i would. and so would John. he walked out of the storage shed.
"as we speak Mia's former followers are rounding up TP" he said.
"and what about VHS?" i asked him. he smiled evily, they both did.
"they've been set up for a while" he answered. i shot a fireball at him, i knew what would happen now, Sage would RW a boy with pyrokinesis, who can change appearance at will so he cant be caught, Lily wouldn't be the one that exploded, it would be a creation deisigned to look like her, via Sage. Angrily i tried to take his aura, but he had my powers blocked, too bad i knew alot about where this place was built. the reason i was standing in the middle of the lawn was because of the tunnels underneath, i broke free of the block long enough to phase through the ground and into the tunnels. i ran through them without any idea as to where i was going. i was far away enough that i could use my powers, which was a good thing. suddenly i had a thought telepathed into my head: if the explosion doesn't happen, i am going to hunt every one of your friends down until only you're left, i'll take your powers and torture you for the rest of your days.
This of course freaked me out, i didn't want to get tortured!
Sage and John were the type of guys that would want to see the explosion for themselves, so i could hardly escape, the explosion without them noticing. i teleported to DC. i had to do something, i remembered the list i once had of people with powers, one of them stood out the most: Paul Young. his power was copying and transfering powers, to others, he could switch them and everything, i knew that he worked at the hot dog stand across the street from B26, i walked over to him, i stopped time and took his power away, i also saw a man with induced radioactivity, i needed that to complete what would happen soon. i unfroze time to see past me running up to 'now' me, it involved the same altercation that i said in an earlier post. instead of 'me' taking powers from 'now' me i transferred them over, saying that i only had radioactivity now and that she had taken them. i told her to run because i saw Tempest, the VHS group and my TP group walking together up the street. Each one of us knew what was to happen but some how each of us knew that we had to go there to save ourselves, in some weird way thats what we thought.
Damian wasn't with them, Tempest explained that he had dispeared. i teleported us all to the door of the top floor of the deserted Building 26. i tried to switch the light on but it didn't work. The boy stood there with flaming hands and the the Lily look-a-like stood there with explosions around her. i telpathed Tempest to keep his forcefield up and not to do anything stop them, i told the others that too. i watched past me look back as the red lightning shot at the targets, my hand ignited with radiation as i put an FF around the targets and with Tempest, with an FF around everyone else (with my help) i let out an explosion, it was small enough to be the one that i would see outside and the transparentness appeared to be my invisbility being worked through the explosion too, it was see-able though. i teleported us out and there we were, on the street looking at myself answer a phone call on Temp's phone (which i TK shot out the window with an invisible FF around it) from 'Howard', it was of course from either John or Sage, whom i could see over at the hot dog stand, looking proudly at the explosion.
i turned to Tingle, "how'd you get back?" i asked him.
"confusingly quick, a bit weirdly actually, i was being held hostage by--" he didn't finish because of the loud sirens on the street, i realised that there were no bodies except for the creations, i hastily made illusions of dead people in the form of us and we all took up residency in the same hotel, we got the other guests kicked out. okay i got them kicked out.
Omni held up a peice of paper. she said: "looks like we wont be seeing the last of Sage and John"

Combo

this will be a short post: as i said last post, i sped to TP, i had to tell them what was going on, and how we're not changing anything, Stan suggested that we all stay as far away from eachother as possible, i thought that this was best idea but it may not change the fact that something bad would happen to at least a few of us. i wanted to just go and find Lily and this boy and just stop them from meeting, but the problem was that the boy kept on changing appearance and Howard could use this hunt to his advantage, Omni told me of boys appearance and her theories on Howard. i realised (after talking to Linda) that the 2 new powers weren't actually new, they were combo's of different powers, pyro, cryo, TK and water mimicry turned into actually controlling water, then there was the combo of illusion, teleportation and time manipulation, i thought that it was some sort of reality warping thing.
so i talked to Stan, he wasn't entirely into the whole leaving TP thing, no-one was. i just decided that we would all stay away from DC no matter what. although i can never be sure if us trying to avert this disaster, is what creates it in the first place.
I told them that Sage was still alive, he has something to do with this but i not sure what... i left TP to go to NYC, i'll explain later.

Time Warped Powers. Part 2

it was crazy day, and kinda odd, i went to the future. the day where we all died, when i got there i thought that i would be trying to save us, but i ended up making things a bit worse, well at least when it comes to 'me', i left future me with one power, and that was radioactivity.

i was in the busy streets of DC, it looked normal, of course i recognised the whole setting of the place. i knew where i was. i looked up, i could see myself wa;king down the street, i had to know what was gonna happen next and what lead to this day, i ran over to me.
"what the hell are you doing here?" she asked, then she had a thought, i must have gotten into my head and told me to do something. i raised my hand and took future me's powers, well except one.
"what the hell?" i said.
"its a predestination paradox, i remember this moment and 'me' saying this exact sentence" she answered.
"so then what happened for you or me, whatever to get these powers back?" i asked her.
"not sure, but i think that it had something to do with what Linda said" she answered. 'to regain is to retry', i had to re-manifest my powers! if thats what ended up happening, then i'm even more confused!
"yeah it confused me to" she answered, "but its a loop i guess" she shrugged it off.
"when is this?" i asked me. she was about answer when Tempest, his team and the rest of my team came walking.
"this is the part where you run!" i teleported somewhere, the past, when Sage died. i knew that i was supposed to see this, i was preoccupied with almost being sucked into a black hole to se it, but Sage was alive and had disapeared into thin air, i was just in time to see that. why i had to see that, i'm not sure.so i got my powers back, rather confusingly but i guess predestination paradoxes are easier to inderstand when you dont think about them too much. i sped to TP, it was normal there, but for how long? are we goona be able to stop ourselves from dying? or are we doomed to die? fate? more questions than answers.

Time Warped Powers. Part 1

Howard returning was always a possibility, i didn't know exactly what powers he had, rapid cell regeneration? reality warping? super strong illusion? i never really knew whether or not he was dead. Mia could've brought him back at some point, i had no doubt in my mind that when i got a message in the middle of, my apartment, that Howard was back. the message said: anyone who is dead should stay there, anyone who came back from it, should die again.
I dont know what that meant, but i guessed he's just trying to unerve me, until Elle turned up with bronze eyes, it was a strong form of persuasion, like Johns, i started to wonder if John and Howard were working together, before i could think about it fully, i had to stop Elle. She shot some powerful electricity at my head, but i stopped time, it wasn't of my own accord, it just happened. that does happen sometimes. i knew that both Howard and John are strong, so it was no use trying to stop the command (whatever it was), i snapped her neck and then all of a sudden i was in Costa Verde, it was the day time and i was behind some bushes, i was watching Elle awaken and Mia flying away, Elle got up and ran off. then i suddenly understood, i had to make sure that Elle did, somehow die. i TK carried future Elles body over to the exact spot that past Elle had been. i grabbed the kerosene bottle that was next to her and... well you know the rest, i spread it over her and lit her up with electricity. i was soon back to where i was before.
i called Stan, and told him about it, i assigned Chelsea as his new partner and then i hung up quickly, as i could feel a time travel coming on...
