An extra workload

It is after christmas now and i am finally ready to plan and execute my mission of liberating Charlie and (hopefully) many others from a holding facility here in NYC. i'll need to call in some help of course, i'll get on to that maybe tomorrow. But actaully i wont, heres why i won't need to infiltrate any base (yet)---

i set out to find some food for lunch, i didn't feel like eating Lelian's health food. I mean, Christamas dinner was bad enough (she served TOFU, TOFU, a Tofu turkey? it was all i could do not to punch her, but then, maybe i'm just not used to it). So i was in the mall, i had considered swing by subway but i only eat chicken teriaki subs and this particular branch isn't very generous with the chicken. So i walked into a grocery store.
i know that could just use my powers to get more chicken but i said i was laying low right? which is the same reason why i had to pay full price for the first time in like 5 years. Then who should i see looking through some magazines but a man in a large trenchcoat with an aura with black swirls in it. sound familiar? i looked at him with a bit of anger, but mostly confusion, why would a powerful guy like that be in some common grocery store?

anyway i tried to read his mind, then he started talking to me telepathically:
"Cleopatra (gah, i hate it when people call me that) Elizabeth Tavara" he snickered aloud.
"what do you want?" i asked him using telepathy, i'm sure we must have looked strange, staring at each other unblinkingly but thats beside the point.
"As you know i'm a "bad" guy. I ripped half of your friends face, i ripped off other people limbs and for what?" I was puzzled, i kinda assumed is was a frankenstein thing but anyway- "i sell them for research, the governments Equinox tactics division pay hefty prices for samples of the more dangerous specimens. In exchange i'm kept alive and get enough money to retire by the time i'm thirty. Being twenty six, i'd say thats pretty good"
"so the whole thing with Tempest?" i asked him
"he's a bit different, the government see him as a threat to their operation, but i like to toy with people sometimes. he and his team would have been ripped to shreds by now but i like them, they're... unique. but they'll be killed eventually"
"are you the only one?"
"there are a few others, but i'm far more reliable due to my powers being far superior."
"why haven't you killed me yet?"
"i don't need to my queen" (i'm assuming this is a reference to my name being Cleopatra)
"why?" asked him cautiosly
"because you are going to help me"
"what's in it for me?" i asked him, suddenly interested
"your life" he said
"and?"
"Your friend, Charlie, oh and Elle Bishop"
"Elle? she wouldn't be dumb enough to join up with you"
"She didn't join, i brought her in last night, found her in bar singing "one way or another", nice voice that girl, that's why i only knocked her out after she'd finished the song" he laughed.
Then he started to speak to me outloud.
"so are you in?"
"what do i have to do?"
"Take down the remaining members of The C.H.A.S.E. there aren't many, bring them in or kill them i don't care which, it'll sure be a nice amount of my workload. You'll also get 10,000 bucks a job"
i stood stunned.
I'll do it"

Jingle Bells

Tis the season to be jolly? yeah ok. i guess that being a prisoner for monthes and stuff (twice) has thrown off my calender. it being xmas and all i figured i should be a little festive so i decorated my apartment which i'm sharing with an old friend named Lelaina, she was a less air headed friend of mine and i knew she lived in the city and i gave her call her roommate maoved out because aparently Lainy is a slob but i don't mind. ii decorated and we both seem to like colors etc. we agreed on not getting eachother presents.

i'm not working, i just get money, i'm pretty sure she thinks i'm a drug dealer but never mind about that. i don't feel right about putting her in danger and with all the stressful equinox hunting i've been itching to kill and take powers again but never mind about that. she works at Mcdonalds or Burger king or something and she goes out most nights so i'm pretty bored, laying low is horrible.

oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh..... i have a great idea for a distraction. more on that next post (that is if i go through with it)

sidetracked

i haen't seen anything that Tempest has been describing in his blog so don't expect any anecdotes from me about that stuff but here is why i am sidetracked-

i'm cutting back on power usage so that i dont get 'cauht in the act' so to speak. To do this i caught a plane. just my luck right? A surprise 'Equinox Check' meets me at the gate in NYC. A simple sensor or something beeps at me and i try and teleport away before i get caught again. but those hunter waste no time in switching off powers (do they all have Haitians now? i don't know but he's the only guy i know who can turn off powers).
So i ran for it, the hunters chased me, knowing full well not to go all trigger happy in an airport. i finally realised that SWAT teams would be everywhere and soon get me... the only way to get out was to do something i'd always wanted to: steal a plane.

In the end people weren't stupid enough to leave a plane unattended so i settled for a helicopter. I was able to get knock out the pilot (it was pure luck that he had just filled it with gas or whatever they run on and was about to get in himself ). I was able to lift off no problem, my uncle Rob was a helicopter pilot and i can remember how he would do things. i flew off (up, up and away if you will) and good see that i was escaping the hunters' grasp, too bad they kept shooting at the helicopter, apparently forgetting the rules on not shooting in airports.
although we WERE outside. ok so anyway eventually i'm out of the Haitians (it probably isn't him but i'm just saying its possible) power weakening radius and i fly off, but come back and steer the helicopter using technopathy so it crashes to the ground on top of several hunters.

i teleported into the heart of NYC without illusion but with shape shifting. it'll be less easy to spot me now, i have to keep out of the upublic eye, no powers for a bit, i have to be normal. Completly normal and ordinary. at least until the search for me dies down.

i got back eventually

im alive. i havent posted since late october and now... well i know its been a while. i found Ali, but she's not with me. no one is. i took charlie along with me and the formula. i found Ali at a holding faculty in london, i blew in there easy with Charlie arm with a machine gun and bullet proof vest. i made my way to where i was getting Ali's signal. i turned in the office, security alarms sounding like crazy, i froze time (haven't done that in ages... wonder what that was about) anyway i walked into the office. i saw Ali standing and talking with a guy who looked very official. It was obvious to me that she wasn't a prisoner.
i grabbed her and brought her into my time zone."What the Cleo!" she exclaimed upon seeing me.
"yeah, now two questions: how long have you been here and what have you done o your hair?" Ali had died her hair a dark reddish brown, i wont lie... it looked awesome. sort of the same as mine only more red. the she looked out the door and saw Charlie.
"Charlie!" she cried, "i haven't seen him in so long!"
"Ali what are you doing here? in an office?" i asked, with a mirk, but when i read her mind it quickly disapeared.
"i'm sorry Cleo, it was the only way to protect you, i promised you wouldn't do any damage as long as i worked here and was safe" she said, "you've caused a lot of problems, blowing up number 42 in Boston"
"43 actually"
"anyway that was a huge setback, do you know how many equinoxes escaped? dangerous ones? the plight is bein compromised just because YOU love your powers too much" she said in a forcefull tone i've never heard before
"the plight? you're with them now?"
"i equinoxes are dangerous, Sylar, Adam Monroe, the Petrelli's and Lockland. they have ALL put the world in danger. Petrelli's perhaps unintentionally and Adam may be dead but Sylar and Lockland are still out there!"
"Lockland? who's Lockland?" i asked
"the guy who's been wondering around tearing faces and such! don't tell me you haven't come into cntact with him?"
"not directly but i know who you're talking about. c'mon you gotta get outta here"
"no, this is my place, i catch them and i keep them from killing people. i'm sorry Cleo"
"it's logical why are you sorry?"
"cos you fall into that category." before i could react i was tasored and the next thing i knew i was in a room not unlike the one i had the last time i was caught.

i tried all my powers but nothing worked. sudenly i heard a voice
"I believe Elle called them haitian pills" said Ali over a speaker. "where is she? she's killed too many people for her not to be a threat"
"she's dead" i answered, i wasn't so sure though.
"you're lying" said Ali
"i'm not"
"Cleo we're sisters, well.... by name anyway, i've known you for more than 2 decades (when did she learn about decades?) you're not as good a liar as you think you are"
"i'm not lying!!!!" i screamed.
"call me when you decide to tell the truth"
"wait! where's Charlie?"
"He's not on this floor that's all i can tell you, he's not in my domain. i deal with dangerous people and bake sales" bake sales? "now tell me how Elle died"
"i don't know how she died"
"suit yourself" she said. i didn't hear her till i escaped again.
i passed the days with a pack of cards in my pocket and playing a guitar that Ali sent to me.
i was like this for a while. i took the meds every day because people MADE me and really masted solitaire.

Then two days ago i didn't take the meds, the guy who gave them to me was obviously new on the job and didn't watch me take them like he was supposed to, it didn't take long for me to get my powers back. i phased trhough the walls and alarms were screaming when they found motion! i had forgotten about them. i stopped time and ventured to find Charlie, there were a lot of floors and i couldn't check all of them within the time given, my powers weren't up to full strength after all. i knew that to find him quickly i had to get to records, so i went to he main office which is where Ali happens to work. i through a real employee out a window and changed into him using illusion. i hacked the computer with ease and time went back to normal. the hustle and bustle somewhat distracted me but i got the job done, but them Ali walked over and looked over my shoulder.
"John why are you searching up Charli um Charles Holland?" then suddenly she realised it was me, maybe my illusion flashed or perhaps she recognised the glint i get in my eye but she new it was me.
"get out now!" she whispered.
"not ntill i know where Charlie is"
"he was transferred to New York for rehabilitation" she said, "now go! you can just escae i can't stop you. just don't come to me for help when the send you out to be slaughtered"
"you're my sister" i said, hurt, "i should be able to="
"you didn't save me from getting captured!" she screamed suddenly. noone heard thank goodness. i summoned the formula which had been confiscated from me and put in a holding room. i jabbed into her arm.
"dont come running to me when you're being hunted" i said, turning off the illusion and jumping out a nearby window. in mid air i teleported to NYC. i had to bust Charlie and whoever else out

Alive

Alison 'Ali' Rita Trellis. How does one describe my sister/best friend? Blonde. Although she wasn't much for understanding fancy shmancy talk she could make tings, she was a genius when it came to building stuff.

Charlie told me what happened to her today. Ali was called in for questioning by a group of specials who were working under cover for the government, naturally they had the inside gossip when it came to specials. Charlie and Ali had broken up when Ali decided to go to Arlington and Charlie had gotten a bigger work load, so anyways this all happened THEN Ali was hauled in for questioning. Charlie had called her several times to get her to pick up some old clothes. But she never returned home.

Charlie said that he went looking for her, knowing full well that she was probably still in custody, she'd never give away any of her friends or family, but those people could still have her. He came up fruitless for weeks and then months. Eventually he found a possible lead to England. he made it there without much trouble, but when he'd arrived where he hoped Ali would be he was caught by a SWAT team. The next day i "bailed" him out.

Ali remains missing but Charlie is persistent that she is a live.

"It's bad enough the the government getting away with kidnapping and sedating us Equinoxes, killing us only if we're a threat to society. But Ali is human. they wont kill her"

i nodded. i just wish i could find her.

The Great Escape

i'm out. out. i can't believe it, its not smooth sailings yet but i'm free.

I'll have to go back to the beginning to tell you what happened.

I had finally found a weak minded individual, a scientist who may have the brains but he has no stamina or will power, its obvious he doesn't like his job. He let me out easily, one thought and thats it. and not a moment too soon considering the fact that my powers were slowly getting weaker. I was groggy at first but managed to spring to life soon enough, killing all the guards with an easy one two swoop. i turned to free Hiro first, but he wasn't there- had he been moved? was he dead? maybe he was only on this level temporarily, of course- i didn't have time to find out. i couldn't stop time, i knew they'd done something! Alarms were going off now, i was too late to stop them i guess. i needed to get everybody out i TKed all of their noses-sedation thingy's away and out forcefields over the doors, but if they release the 'gas' (i'd heard the guards and scientists thinking about it) then this would all be for nothing. the prisoners were groggy but when they realized where they were they soon sprung into action.

There were a lot of fights, big explosions and all that jazz, it was very hard to see. i needed people to get of here, to show that we weren't going to give up without a fight. then the gas came on. it was getting dark, so dark. i ran full throttle for the door, TKing anyone who got in my way, but then i realized i needed inside information, so i TKed the doctor towards me (scientist, doctor whatever) and grabbed three specials on the way too, i couldn't summon so i had to grab. how fun. we ran for for our lives. elevators were jammed and tasors were firing left and right, my leg was still in very bad shape so i had to us TK to keep from falling over, me and my 4 companions were in for hell if we made it. A special (naturally we didn't have time for introductions) who i had chosen as an ally was shot in the head, we kept running.

the window. it was the only way, a door would be under way too much surveillance. i jumped, i kept the Doc and one companion up with TK, the other could fly.

we were shot at incessantly as we made our escape, until finally i'd managed to turn us invisible. we landed at Tempests place. i hope its safe there. it should be.

iv'e lost teleportation, summoning and time travel. which sucks.

The Doc (he refuses to tell me his name) has explained that he knew me in high school, he was a teacher who was impressed with my essay on evolution (i made it all up as i went along but he doesn't need to know that). i don;t remember him but its not like i remember anything much, Gina must be messing about with my mind. she hasn't been a problem much anymore which is good. anyway the Doc explained that he took away my powers of time/space manipulation so that i wouldn't be moved to a maximum security level. i asked him a bout Hiro and he said that Hiro wasn't being sedated for his powers, since they'd been taken away, he was being kept quiet. he died while i was asleep.

The fly guy was- wait for it- Charlie!!!!!! his hair was longer and more wild than what i remember and he was wearing glasses, it was hard for me to recognize him! once he's recovered (he ha a head injury from when he was brought in just yesterday, he's going to tell me everything. maybe he'll even know about Ali.

The second powered person is girl, her name is Kirstie. she has super strength.

i asked Doc how he was able to take away my powers without taking away ALL of them, he said it was a concentrated formula created by Mohinder Suresh. hmmmm....

Basements suck

Okay so i'm pretty sure that i'm in a basement. A cold, impersonal and slightly odorous basement. I'm sure that Elle's dead, i can't be positive but... Those SWAT guys are brutal. my mind powers are working fine, telepathy is the only way i can hear the outside world and technopathy is my link to my allies and friends. nice.

My plans aren't exactly foolproof so i'm expecting to stay here a little while longer, i'm hoping to get to a weak minded solider/scientist/whatever to release me, but so far my powers haven't been that strong. i'm sure that they're getting weaker by the second and soon i'll be like this until someone rescues me. My TK has stopped working recently so there goes plan B.

Did you know that Hiro Nakamura (is that how you spell it?) is here? probably not, i can here his thoughts. Mostly about Ando, you know 'is he okay?' 'will i ever get to see him again' 'he's my best friend!' 'i like pie'. stuff like that.

i hope he gets out of this too, he and i would make a great team. everybodys' thinking, they're scared, not really knowing if they're in a coma or they're just sleeping late again. i KNOW that i'm here, that this is a lab where they're taking samples of us all, Equinox hunting is getting far worse in the UK. i have to stop this whole thing, but how? who knows if i'll have time travel when i get out of this, chances are i will but you never know what they inject in people now days.

I'm gonna get out of here... i hope

My First Encounter with An Equinox Hunter

I don't think i need to explain the post very much.

Elle and I went shopping in some place on some street (i didn't really take much notice) when i realized that i kept turning heads i thought 'hmm, guess i look okay today' but it turns out that a SWAT team was following us. yeah i was bummed too. I guess they recognized Elle or me (my illusion is really bad now so iv'e simply been hoping like hell that they THINK i'm using illusion. But i can't seem to catch a break.

a tasor thing was shot , i turned around an TKed it right back at them, Elle electrocuted three of them with an extremely powerful burst of energy. Guns were ablaze. i tried to teleport us out of there but some one was blocking my powers now. she and i ran like hell.

The team were too fast though, Elle tripped over a sack of potatoes and the SWAT team had her, i continued running until finally 2 bullets hit me in my left leg.

I'm sedated now, i don't know where i am but i'm sedated and can't seem to wake up, but my mind powers are working fine.

Reunion and light shedding

Today Elle and I met up with Tempest, Playwrite, Diffy, Pete and Ragnorak and we went to the old base. We had some laughs and something to eat before we had to get down to business by testing the hand and syringes. Tempest asked about Ali, i explained that she'd dissapeared and i couldn't contact her, not even summon her. He offered to help but i told him not to, its too dangerous, I've got some people in mind anyway.

We began some testing.

"The blue liquid," Temp explained, "is a power." I looked at him in surprise, what did he mean a power? the formula gave powers, but it wasn't a power itself, it had some kind of adrenaline enhancing thing in them. But the blue liquid IS a power.

"what power?" i asked him, it was at this point that Playwrite walked out of the lab.

"We don't know, it's powerful though, i touched it and it burnt, but when i put a thermometer in it it was room temperature. It might be pyrokinesis or any other power involving fire, but the color makes it quite unlikely" He said. I nodded.

When we tested the syringes they were indeed the formula (told you! told you!) The company must have had someone go and get them from Pinehearst, but they could be older than that, maybe they were the originals, the ones that worked better? it doesn't matter now.

When that was done we chatted for a little while longer and played some PS3, i destroyed them at Gitar hero (go me). Elle and I went home at around 8:00pm and then ordered some Chinese. The syri8nges and liquid are safely hidden in a safe a summoned.

The Box

Its raining outside so Elle wont go anywhere. I'm quite bored. I don't really feel like doing anything really, but then i remembered the box , the key and the hand from the safe. now was as good a time as any to see what all the fuss was about.

The Box was a tricky one, although i had the key i wanted to see if the box was So special that it could only be opened with the key. It was and i got a nose bleed from trying to open it.

I opened it with the little gold key to find that inside the box was..... (OOOH SUSPENSE) 12 syringes. It became more and more apparent to me as i thought back about the telepaths (whatever happened to them? were they caught? i hope so) and how they were all given powers, (all telepathy, i imagine they all shared the same genetic coding markedy thingimy-bob or something). Were these left over? Morto probably had connections to the company and might have even been one of the founding members, i don't know, but this had to be the formula.

But i needed to test it. How?

These were the formula, they had to be and thats all i'm saying on the matter, i'm thinking about going to Tempests and having him check it out, he probably knows a lot more about it than i do.

i turned my attentions to Adam's hand. I picked it up, it was clearly old (and smelly) i'm guessing that it has been at least a year since it was attached to Adam.

"Elle!" i called, she walked in, i'm pretty sure she didn't sleep much, how can she? the TV is getting bombarded with "special bulletins"about an Equinox being captured. it makes her worried, it makes me worried. I think everyone's skittish. we have to fight back! but not right now.

"Yeah" she asked groggily.

"do you remember this hand?" i asked her

"oh so thats the smell, and yes it's one of the few things daddy let me remember about my gruesome time at the company" she said quickly. so Bob knew about it too huh? hmmm

"do you know whats in it?" i asked her.

"all i know is that it's not solid or metal, maybe like a liquid or or something? i honestly don't care" she said. With a smirk on her face i hadn't seen since Primatech.

I summoned an empty syringe and poked it into the hand. I drew out whatever was in there to find that it wasn't red but blue. blue?

"Blue?" i asked. stated? i don't know but WTF? i have to go Tempest. he might know. might.

Face space

When we arrived in my former prison cell i was more than a little weirded out, i mean i didn't think about where i wanted to go but i know that this is the third place i'd NEVER want to go to!

Elle and i were heir in my old cell, but we weren't alone.

There was a girl there, kinda short, crazy eyes and mumbling something. she obviously crazy. So before i could see who this girl was i heard noises, i teleported me and Elle out of there and back to the hotel where we're staying with Elsie. But it wasn't right there.

Elsie was on floor - dead. The guitar hero guitar was in her hands, i looked at the screen and she had just equaled my high score (bitch!). Her head was sliced open, but not across the forehead (so you can rule out Sylar) but down the middle, right between the eyes and all the way down to her chin. With half her face missing. It was disgusting, i'm sure that Elle has seen enough decapitation today to last a life time, it didn't bother me that much though. Okay i'm lying since i quite liked Elsie.

I touched Elsie for clues, i used my Clarsentience (or is it Clairvoyance? IDK, the one wear you can see the history of things).

Elsie was rocking out on Guitar Hero when a man came into the hotel room, he was silent but Elsie still saw him.

"Who are?" she asked, having just finished playing. The man looked up, a hood over his head, it appeared that he was wearing a rather nice suit underneath his hooded jacket, not unlike the ones you would see at a wedding.

"Just here to see Cleo" He said huskily, taking some more steps into the room.

"She's not here, she-she-she went to get - um - buy some groceries" Elsie lied, the man looked up, amused.

"i know she didn't" he said in a low voice, Elsie was getting freaked out now.

"If you'll leave your name i'll tell her you dropped by" she said shakily, he turned and faced her, his face obscured by his hoodie and dark glasses.

"She wont know me," he said. Elsie was about to TK him to the wall and demand him to tell her who he was, but he got in quicker: "You''ll have to do" he said. At that he TKed her to the groud and sliced her head down the middle with his TK, and pealed off half her face - it was quite distasteful. The blood, wow the blood - everywhere! dark blood and her bones were clearly visible. The man stalked out of the room with the halved face in his hand.

That was a disturbing image. Elle didn't really want to know the details, even she could see that half of Elsie's face was missing. i wondered what could have possibly possessed someone to steal half of someones face, but the thing is that he was looking for ME. he wanted to do that to ME. i certainly would never have let him, i'd kick ass but wow. this is just too creepy.

Elle appears to be pretty torn up about it. I was about to send Elsie's body away when a maid burst in.

"ARGH!!!!!!!" she screamed, "Miss Laplace, what happened?" She said, trying (and epically failing) to keep her cool. (We checked into the hotel as sisters Lindsay, Sarah and Jane Laplace) Elle and i teleported out of there quickly, leaving Elsie behind. This time we showed up in England, it rains a lot there so Elle won't be going outside much but it's away from the US, the Equinox hunting isn't quite as brutal here.

Primatech and more questions than answers

Well Primatech is pretty easy to get into, i had no trouble making my way to the safe at all, which kind of rendered Blondie and Elle useless. Elsie got a cold and explained she really wanted to 'stick it out' it was her first in over a hundred years and i guess she wanted to sa vor it.

I got down to the safe and had Blondie and Elle as look outs. I looked around the safe, a kind of silvery and cold place, although i imagine it reflects the people who created it. i wondered if there were any alarms, just to make sure i used my technopathy to shut them off.

the place was full of goodies, a key that looked useless and yes even a brain (now THATS weird) so i was looking around, that key had to be the key to something, so i grabbed it and pocketed it. When i saw the brain i instinctively thought of Sylar (i remember him now, i don't know why but i'm forgetting a lot of things from my past, i guess it's Gina playing with my mind), i wondered where he was now, he was way too powerful to be caught but maybe Peter Petrelli finally stopped being such a wimp and kicked his ass. In any case the brain reminded me of Sylar, the guy with the scary eyebrows. I turned my attentions back to finding whatever else, there were a few closed drawers, i opened one of them to find a golden box, undoubtedly the gold key would unlock it (i was right but i don't know hats in it yet). the next drawer was a human hand, i touched it and used clairvoyance on it.

'The hand. the hand.' Repeated Arthur as he sliced off the left hand of his former ally Adam. The hand grew back on to his arm but the decapitated hand lay in a plastic bag held in Arthur's arms. 'This will prove more of an asset to us than you'll ever know Adam'

'it's just a hand, i don't even write with that one' Adam joked.

'It's somewhat sick isn't it? That i should have your hand cut off for something that won't benefit "mankind", but then again, you never did anything with it to help mankind either, did you Takezo?"

'Shut up Arthur! Hiro is Takezo, well fine WAS but listen to me. I will never answer to that name. i haven't done so for 400 years' Adam said in a huff.

'The hand will do a good thing for us' Arthur repeated

'what will it do?' Adam asked him. Arthur smiled.

'You'd have to ask Linda that' Arthur said

'Linda? Tavara? she would never be caught dead with you' Adam said

'She hates us, but she asked me and i owed her a favor'

'so you don't know what my hand is for' Adam concluded.

'No' Arthur answered after a slight pause, 'but Linda will use it then give it back to us, it's not the hand Adam, it's what's inside of it. or rather what will be. i don't know what she'll put in it and frankly i don't care, so long as she doesn't do anything to damage the company. In fact it's quite the opposite, i have confirmation that she has something in her posession that benefits both us and her. I'm as surprised as you are.... I'll have Elle take you back to your room now.'

Elle walked in with sparks dancing around her fingertips with a sadistic smile on her face.

'Whats with the hand?' she asked. Arthur walked out of the room.

'He's got some things on his mind, its his wedding anniversary tonight i believe, makes quite a few men a bit age conscious, he felt he had too many wrinkles on his left hand' Adam joked.

Elle gave a slight chuckle and zapped Adams nose.

i came out of my little trance more confused than ever. Adams hand? have i ever met this Adam? I don't think it matters right now, i summoned a plastic bag and put the hand in it, something told me i had to find out what it was. I tried to use my clairvoyance to find out what Linda put in the hand, but of course she blocked it from beyond the grave. Well i guess she blocked it then and it's still blocked now even though she's dead.

I opened up another drawer, an old notebook that was full of Japanese writing lay there, i picked it up and started to flip through it, remembering my Japanese lessons in high school (i barely passed but that wasn't because i was bad at remembering the language, i just skipped it to got shopping).

it was mostly about Takezo Kensei, quite boring really, but i only got the gist of the story anyway, i pocketed the notebook then i noticed the dust in the corner, obviously swept there. I wouldn't have noticed at all but the rest of the room was so clean, sterilized actually, like a hospital room. I cautiously went over to the dust, leaning down i rubbed it between my thumb and index finger, it was ash. My clairvoyance kicked in and i knew what the dust was. an old viral of a disease. i immediately stopped touching it.

The place hadn't had much more to it, then i heard noise outside - Blondie and Elle were screaming. They probably saw a spider. But when i walked out they were fighting, fighting with someone i didn't recognize but felt like i should.

The mysterious man had a forcefield surrounding him, Claire being held against the wall and having her head chopped off, Elle was going strong (i guess) with electricity coursing through her body, the mans forcefield was weakening. I jumped into action and tried to negate his powers with little success, finally i shot black lightening, not even denting his field.

Claire slid to the floor with her head falling a foot in front of her, i didn't like her but she was a good ally. Nobody kills my allies no matter how annoying they are!

i sped at the man (who's FF) was now significantly weaker thanks to Elle) i phased through easily and met his cold, icy eyes. Then my space manipulation did something it hadn't done for a while: act of its own accord. it made a hole through the mans chest using my arm and he fell to the ground.

Elle was passed out but breathing while Claire was motionless, the alarms were back on now and Elle and I had to get of there. The empty halls rang with alarms as government people rushed through them (they struck up an allieship with Primatech i'm guessing)

Elle and i teleported out of there, leaving Claire's dead body behind.

We were in a prison. MY prison. As in the asylum i escaped from. Why did i come here? I looked around and Elle started to come to.

"CLAIRE!" she shouted.

"Dead" i said simply. Elle looked a little sad, well as sad as a sociopath can be.

TBC

I was amazed

Amazed by Blondie's (yeah she's stuck with that name for life) story, about how some girl "killed" her in some kinda way then Sylar went in and brought her back to life. I dont know how, who is this Sylar? have i met him? i could have. oh is he the one with the scary eyebrows? never mind. Any he brought her back and they escaped together, then they caught by a special ops team. Sylar's whereabouts are unknown but Claire managed to get out by sticking with Matt Parkman (whoever he is), he's on the inside os this whole mess. Catching people and putting them away for the sake of his family. i don't know something to that effect. Anyway from what i understand he's a powerful telepathic guy.

Today hasn't been very productive at all. With teams on the hunt for us Equinoxes and such we have to lay low. Claire, Elle and i know that we're on files and lists. Me especially, given how many people iv'e killed theres probably going to be an entire army dedicated to catching me (i feel special), then there's Elle. That psycho. i like her, makes me look sane. Elle Bishop isn't really much chop at anything, but the electrical part of her is very cool. She has a great amount of... whats the word? power? strength? homicidal streaks? in any case shes alright.

Elsie's getting better at Guitar Hero, but that's not important. She has a telekinetic thing going on.

Now for Ali. she has no power except her incredible Macgyver-ish-ness. Anyway she's probably been hauled in for questioning by the government, chances are she already has been. I've checked Arlington. Nothing. i hope shes okay. if shes not i'll hurt whoever hurt her! Tomorrow we strike. I know it's not a perfect plan but i'm going to get into the paper factory in Odessa (as far as i know the safe still has all its contents) and Claire and Elle will back me up. I'm getting the files on the all the dangerous people (and i mean DANGEROUS, not like those level 5 wimps) and a few other things. Including a key, Elle says it's important- that it unlocks a box of some sort.

In all honesty i don't care about a box but that safe could have something, iv'e nothing to lose

its been a long time

Elsie and i couldn't post, no scratch that. wouldn't post. No wait, yeah, couldn't. The thing is that we went to see the president, he lives in a nice house, kinda boring though (you'd think the white house would have more of a wow factor to it). anyway we went in there to try and stop him from taking all the people with powers and running tests on them etc. But the thing is- we didn't have an appointment.

now how does a person with powers (which has practically been made illegal now) get an audience with a president who doesn't seem to like you at all? why you barge in of course!

we get into oval office and he's reading a comic book (we teleported in there i think) he looked up bewildered and hid the comic under his desk (i think he was meant to be working or something).

He knew we had powers immediately, i didn't count on him having powers as well.

well aint that nifty? Hypocrite much?! well i didn't vote for him (actually i didn't vote, i was doing something very important that day - beating my guitar hero score). Else's pretty good at GH, but she'll never be as good as me, well i hope not, since i can play most instruments (picked up a nice talent for music from some chick called Emma in New York) i think Elsie has a long way to go.

anyway he had me frozen there, like a mental block, mental and physical actually. then he grabbed a tazor out and you know, tazored us.

I woke up in a padded cell with these two marks on my neck (WTF is up with that?) and it was completely white. i'd never been in an asylum before, well i might have been, i can't really remember some parts of my life. Anyway i was groggy, and was a little off balance, but i soon got a bit more level headed and tried to teleport - nothin. nada. zilch. Then Gina took over, she went crazy!! Kick8ng things punching the walls (the fact that the walls were padded and my knuckles still bled go to show you how strong i- or Gina am/is). We both tired out and we settled into a rather uncomfortable stay in an Equinox asylum. Yeah people with powers now have an official name- Equinoxes. i don't know what it means nor do i care, i'm just glad it sounds cool.

People came in every five hours to inject me with something (i think to keep my powers from resurfacing), it really sucked and my shoulder still hurts. I spent a long time like this, maybe months! it doesn't really matter how long. all i know is that i only had Gina to talk to, she's pretty interesting, she was the leader singer/guitarist for a band called Broken Misery. Apparentky they were on the cusp of fame before the drummer found out that the Harry Potter franchise was going to end soon and then jumped off a cliff. Yeah then they didn't so too well and Gina died in a car accident, had her mind extracted by the proclaimers and they gave put her in my head as some kind of punishment. funny how now my other personality is the only thing keeping me sane. I have noticed the irony.

Anyways i stayed like this for abou 5 monthes, then one day what should happen but Elle, Blondie (that idiot cheerleader who revealed the powers) and my old team that i assembled: Tracy Strauss, Adonis, Helen and Ronald. i still don't know how they got or even how they knew about this place! but i'm glad they did, Claire was like a shield for all the bullets (GOD i wish that girl could feel pain, i hate her so much!) anyway they saved us.

so me and Elsie are just outta the slammer. and we're so stopping this government thing. Oh we have Claire and Elle with us, the others were killed (Tracy was a bitch anyway). It's funny watching them argue, i also liked it when Gina took over and slapped them both. i know that Claire couldn't feel it b she was still shocked and it was hilarious. well thats over now to look forward to the future.

And find Ali. (my sister i mentioned her a few posts back)

The decision

well, i know that i haven't posted for a while, left the USM once to go and see Tempest, he had a clone there of me (i sent her there Temp read back for a while and you'll find out why) then i had to split, i wanted to Ali, i gave her her present (i gave her a guitar, she and i learned to play when we were kids). then i went home, after getting rid of the clone of me that i sent to watch Ali and protect me from getting slaughtered.

i after the whole Mia has a twin who doesn't like me thing i figured that i should probably try to figure out what this is all about. thats when i decided to split from the USM.

i sooo wanted out of the USM, i cannot believe that those people live down there! its boring and stuffy, it has no sun light! its loud and echoey! i need my beauty sleep! i know i sound self centered, but... a leopard can't change her spots.

i went out of the tunnel they created for me when i visited here whilst i was going to Vince Lombardi.

i emerged out of the tunnel, the bare land where Vince Lombardi boarding school once stood seemed to howl at me, i wanted so badly to change it but the last time a changed something so big was when i killed the young Linda! and that didn't work out that well. i hated he sight of it, then i felt it, my emotions had overcome me and they unlocked an ability i hadn't used before, i couldn't even to tell you where i got it from! and i saw it: ghosts. the kids who had died at that school, not just the kids who had died in the explosion (although they made up the majority), they all looked at me accusingly, i wanted to run but i couldn't move their eyes were strong, then i felt Gina take over.

"hey you guys had the choice of coming to this school! its your fault!" i could've died of embarrassment. h\but one person stood out, a 17 year old girl stood out, her face looked so familiar but i knew that i hadn't met anyone like that before, maybe she just had one of those faces. she had fiery red hair with a fringe, an innocent looking dress (the kind you'd see in old movies, like what Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz wears! only this one was blue and yellow), her eyes were big and brown, her height about 5'6, she spoke so naive like that i'd think that she was born yesterday.

"oh my! you look like you've seen a ghost!" well at least she had a sense of humor. "my name is Elsie, and i died in 1867, i fell down the stairs" can't say i'm surprised, she walked o daintily and so clumsily that i thought that she'd fall over any second! "don't worry they don't blame you, they blame that Jane girl!" she said, i had taken a shine to this girl, maybe it was because she was so easy to corrupt, so much so that i would have a good sidekick. i knew how to bring her to life, all i needed was a dead body to bring back to life and put her mind into, then i would proceed to turn said body into the way she looks. and i did just that.

i turned on the news, it seemed that they'd finally come to a decision on people with powers, find them and test on them, like animals! i had to stop this! me and Elsie had to stop this, i transferred a power to her right away, telekinsis.

join the cause Tempest! we need all the help we can get.

I'm back

i haven't posted because i have been hiding, but people are really starting to get weird about the whole Claire Bennet thing, of course i would be like that too.

i went down to the USM, i was safe there for a while but i quickly got bored, as i do in places where people seem to only watch Lucy on old TV sets and VCR's that respond better to being kicked than having a button pushed, its not that i don't like Lucy or her shows, its just that sometimes all i want to watch is a DVD of 30 Rock!

so thats why i decided that i was more powerful than just about every person in the entire world and that no government or bounty hunter could possibly take me down, so i exited the USM through the sewers (don't worry i changed my clothes on the ladder up to the daylight), all i really wanted was some ice cream, a new TV some DVD's and a DVD player, was that so much to ask? who should i run into but Dig, a former of the USM, he asks me a favor to find some girl he likes, i try to summon her but she is protected, and since i really didn't have much to do, i went and tried to find her.

i tracked her to a building on the lower west side, seems that the people with the awesome tech and drugs were a bit down on their luck right now.

i teleported there, nobody could stop me, i'm Cleo Trellis.

i walked through the halls of the building, it seemed that it was The Company, only with a worse looking level 5 than the last level 5. i passed by a guy, he seemed struggling, then a big disintegration mist flew through the air and he began running, i caught up with him.

"you wouldn't happen to know the way to Anya Stevens' room would ya'?"

"i'm kinda busy righ- did you say Anya Stevens"

"yeah you know her?"

"yeah, but i didn't know they had her!" he was already looking worn out, people were running after us, i froze most them.

"i can get us outta here with one twitch of my nose" i said

"not till i find Anya" then a girl appeared (it looked so much like Jane! but it couldn't have been) when we rounded a corner, "that was lucky"

"now can i save your ass?"

"please" and at that i started to fly and swooped him up and then Jane, only she was Anya, i phase through the wall and dropped them off at their apt and flew away.

then i got a call on my cell phone:

"i know it was you, you made a big mess" said a voice that i found that i didn't like.

"Mia" i said

"guess again" she said menacingly.

"i give up"

"Mia's twin, Iz" go i feel like i'm on a bad soap opera!

"i don't like you" i said to her

"well thats not nice"

"yeah well i'm not a nice person you bitch!" that was Gina.

after that Gina went off and partied in my body, suddenly i'm waking up hanging upside down in a freaky bohemian bar, the bar tender seems to be trying to get me down, she looks so Jane like, but that expression, the way her mind is working and her feelings, it just seems so... un Jane, but i'm feeling a bit queasy so it might just be my imagination.

i teleport away and to front of the entrance to the USM, i enter it with TV's and DVDs, CDs, and ipods in tow.

what a nice day, so now i'm just gonna not post for a while, the USM is very strict about outside contact.

Calls Missed

ive been trying to lay low on the powers, this whole business with Claire Bennet has really messed everything up. i tried to call Ali, i can't remember ever going to Arlington to save her! she's not picking up, this cant be good.

i wont be posting for a while, i encourage everyone to lay low, i'm going to the USM, the proclaimers can wait.

3rd post

dont get used to the three post thing, i just read through my old blog posts and i have no recollection of trying to save Ali at Arlington. weird bye

found out

i only jst posted the post before this but i had to tell this right away! Jane just sent me a video, i guess i'm stil on her contact list and i just saw a claire Bennet jumpp off a sisxty foot ferris weel and this is not ghood! not goo!

we're found out, any second now the govement will annouce the nxt holocaust and take speciuals somewhere and shoot them all just for being differnt, not good at all.

i don't know how this ended up happening and i can't go back in time to stop it! i just saw the butterfly effect movie and i might destroy evry thing if i change this one thing, i could youy know step on a butterfly! i have to find Claire, IDK where sh is but i'll just summon her! damn it it wont work! they've got her protected!

if i had just kept up on current events like my mum did then i'd have know this so much sooner! i'll call everyone, all my powered friends and tell them how to get the USM and tel them to go there and stay there until this blows over.

this is not good

A Group Assembled

iv'e summoned a firm believer in Proclaimers, he's from Tucson, Arizona, he also has a website that i hacked into, he puts clues into any comments he makes on peoples blogs and those clues put to together and worked out can unlock his site.

his name is Adonis, his parents are mythology professors, so thats why they named him that. on his site he described a power i couldn't really name:

A drop of blood, a flower flourishes, a death and my life shortens but doesn't end, iv'e been killed before but not for a while, i'll live for ever but only for a short time each year. i can bring to life many a plant and seed but not spring to life those i need.

its a poem he wrote, he's note much of a writer but its there, i don't know much about him besides the details of his strange power, his name and his claims that Proclaimers took over the bodies of his friends: Agrona (he says she had the power of immense destruction), Castor (Adonis says that he had the power to speed up any thing) and Pollux who was Castor's twin brother, who was a healer.

i'm not a smart person but i paid attention occasionally in school and those are mythological names, but he said that his parents and their parents were into the same things so i guess thats not an issue. iv'e tried to read his mind but he has no thoughts he only acts, or maybe he has thoughts and i can't hear them. either way this guy is strange.

iv'e also gathered someone from an outside circle, a woman named Tracy Strauss, i made a copy of her in case anyone from her side ever needs her but iv'e got the real one here. she has water manipulation, she freezes stuff and turns into water, text book power.

i have also contacted an old friend named Helen, she is a muscle mimic, i already have that power but you can never have too many powered people right?

another person i believe would be a great ally on this trip would be Ronald Schwartz, a guy a met while in the past (not fifties past i mean 90's, i stopped off there out of boredom) hes just 2 years older than me now, of course, when i met him he had only been in America for about a year (he's from Kenya) but i think that now his english is a lot better.

i've got my team ready, if anyone is willing to join up with us just comment below.

comments

ive noticd that ive barely had any comments on my posts, what gives? comment people!

please?

The Proclamation of a Friend

i have been researching a few things on the internet, theirs a huge urban legend in Santa Fe about the Proclaimers, the stories varied with details but basically they erase minds then the minds of others take them over so they can live once more, under the condition that they do the master's bidding, at one time or another, other than that they're free

I cleaned some tables silently humming a tune that i didn't know very well when i person from my past walked in.

"Cleo?!" squealed Mandy as she ran up as fast as she could only to tackle me to the floor and hug me like a was a chocolate bar to a fat kid.

"Man...Dy" i struggled for breath as a picked my self off the ground, i maybe super powered but even Mandy knows my weak spot.

"OMG! how have you been? you come and go so quickly when you're in Texas and last thing i heard about you was that you were getting married!" i wasn't, i don't know WHERE she heard that, but gossip is very fast and often wrong in Odessa.

"um, no i don't think so"

"aw, poor Clo's" she said hugging me again, i swear that if i didn't have healing my eyes would have blown out of the sockets like a minute ago.

"so what are you doing here?" i said to her, as a gulped down some water.

"bachellorette party" she answered, "Lori is getting hitched! to this sweet guy named Andy, he's a bit younger than her but OMG he is HOT! not that i like him" she said hastily, i read her mind: she did like him, this would blow up in flames, i'm sure of it.

"i have a plus one on my invite if you want to go, we would have sent you an invite but we had no idea where you were" she said.

"well i have been everywhere a lot lately" i said.

"we gotta do lunch!" she cried, "right now!" she dragged me out, trust me her mind is full to the brim of quick thoughts and a cloudy mind to match, if i didn't know any better i'd swear she had a power. but the point is that that mind is so crowded an extra thought in it would cause a brain hemorage,

"Lori and Andy have been going at it for the past 2 hour's so naturally i had to get outta the hotel!" it was the usual convo that i had with Mandy, all she can ever talk about is our friends, she has no life.

"the girl has got no life! why were you friends with her? i really think she's a spastic, sparatic head case, and it looks like she's having an orgy just talking about Andy" i almost swallowed the little olive my martini as Gina made her observations.

"you okay?" asked Mandy.

"yeah" i squeaked, trying to stop myself from laughing while Gina continued to do her best Harry and Sally in the restaurant impersonation. i finally let the laughs consume me and spilled my martini all over a waiter.

"sorry" i snorted.

"thats enough alcohol for you Clo's" said Mandy. i read her mind, i wondered if she was thinking anything about this then came a voice inside her head that wasn't her own. 'Clo's? what is that Mandy? Clo's?"

'shut up Noni!'

'too late!'

'i should of taken that pill' she said regretfully

'i wish you would have too, it'd be a lot quieter in here' said the voice. then Many's tone changed, Noni had taken over.

"gotta go Cleo" she said, Mandy hardly ever called me Cleo!

Proclaimers.

i had to find out where they were operating from, and since most of the rumors surrounded Santa Fe i'm going there! as soon as i have a bit more information first, and i call in a few people for the job.

Memorials and Dreams

las Vegas has a number of specials, most of them have powers that already have but i killed and took anyway, some how it makes me feel better.

i watched the live memorial service for the victims of the Vince Lombardi bombing, i could see a lot of my former friends who all seemed to think i was dead, there was Andrea, she seemed paler, which is quite a step when you see her. she was like a tomato, thats why she had to wear so much make up.

over 400 kids. wiped out because i wasn't strong enough.

"it's a damned shame" said the bartender Duke, thats wasn't his actual name but thats just what we called him, "whoever did that had to be the spawn of Satan himself" he said sorrowfully.

"yeah" i said unsurely, if only he knew, and those "proclaimers" are still out there! "you almost forget all the horrible things in the world and then this happens" i said

"life sucks, the only thing good about it is that your not buried or burnt" i laughed slightly.

"well your breaks over, so its best that Mr. Wood don't see ya on that stool" i got hastily, Mr Wood was by all measures: a bastard. i HATED him, i could kill him, but in all fairness he is a good boss, he's just very mean.

My dreams are becoming more frequent now....

"Cleo Trellis is becoming a problem" said a man with jet black hair and a cigarette in his hand, his old jeans and faded T shirt were eerily flickering in the lights of a flame i couldn't see.

"i understand, but she is not good enough to beat us, but good enough to destroy our allies, we must kill her"

"in that lies the problem" said the man, he can't have been much older than me, "she is already dead" did hear that right?

"then how...?"

"Vince Lombardi Boarding school went up in flame less than 3 weeks ago, they found her body but her mind isn't dead, she could be anywhere, but since a proclaimer is with her i suspect she will be found, but those two are well matched and might just balance each other, no-one gets out of the mind and no-one gets in. a balancing act." he said

"what do we do then Master?" asked the woman he was speaking to, she was platinum blonde with a hint of an Australian accent.

"we kill every friend of hers until she has to come to the rescue... lets start with Ali" he said menacingly.

i woke up startled.

"bad dream?" asked Gina

"understatement" i answered, i zapped on some clothes and teleported to Arlington University, had to save Ali

Mirrors

i had to fill in at a show, it was basically just roketts, dancing but hey at it beats handing out drinks, but maybe i should have given out drinks instead of doing this.

it was basic, really, Nancy got sick and i knew the routine. obvious choice. i was nervous, i'd sang before, i'd danced before, just not in las Vegas!

i walked out in my witch costume, our first number was from Wicked, lucky us, "as long as your mine" had to be sung. i pulled it off, the next wasn't very memorable nor was the one after, but now came the big finale: All That Jazz. Chicago.

i was just a dancer, in all honesty i was thankful i didn't have to sing this, but it still required energetic dancing. i was puffed out!

i sat down and drank water for what felt like an hour! i decided that today had been tough, so i went home, they don't notice when i go home!

i showered, brushed teeth and stuff then i went to brush my hair.

"we're a good dancer, we should go pro" said my reflection, she startled me but thats to be expected, but i thought she would be gone!

"yeah... i'm not going anywhere, i enjoy being annoying" she said

"who are you" i asked her, i really was suspicious

"a proclaimer, the names Gina, i got sent here, gotta warn you thou... i like to party a lot so if you wake up in Berlin or something then you can blame me but you can't punish me, ha"

i had met very few proclaimers, but no wonder Kevin was so messed up!

"Kevvy boy was messed up because he didn't follow protocol, he wanted out of his life and we told him that a special pill would erase his mind, but he never took it, it's his fault, and i got put in your head just to annoy the crap outta you" it worked

"i hate mirrors" i said

"i hate you"

"i loathe you"

"should we count the ways?"

"at least we agree on the fact That Ten things i hate about you is awesome" i said

"good" she paused "wanna watch it?" i thought for a bit,

"whatever"

well that was random, but what can you expect?

Viva Las Vagas

i'm staying right here, i'm Cleo Trellis, well... Anne Tavara, for Anne Hadelo (yeah, just like how she spelled it and said it) and Tavara.

i'm working in Caesar's Palace. card shark. Anne Tavara: Card Shark, nice ring to it i guess, although i still feel bored gambling fixes that, i'm slowly getting rich! of course the whole Vince Lombardi thing is still ruling the airwaves, i'm living a nice life, getting bye, i'm my actual age: 24. i look like Cleo Trellis, brown hair, green eyes and 5'10. square faced but in a nice Audrey Hepburn kind of way, a well rounded performer who some said could even rival the late and great Lucille Ball. i serve drinks and makes jokes with guys who need some cheering up. i am Cleo Trellis.

but then again maybe it can't last forever something is bound to go wrong, i'm not being pessimistic, i'm being realistic.

I'm Cleo trellis.

Odessa: boring

it's barely changed, i don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, Eve (Evita) already has a life but i'm fitting in well with that, i'm kept up at night by guilt for the fact that Vince Lombardi boarding school is in ashes taking with it over 300 people.

"Paige why can't you just get over the fact that Russell is dating Shimmy?" that was Lena, she seems incapable of shutting up, i was in a daze, i'd killed innocents, no matter how you look at it it was still MY fault!

"Eve, what's up? you have been moping for like two days!" cried Hana.

"nothing!" i said, "lets just go to practice" i said.

it had been uneventful, the last 2 days were like any normal high school days! its... boring, i should be happy right? no killing and no super powers... im soooooo bored!!!

i am a cashier at mcdonalds! nothing is happening! i need power, i need excitement! i need a new life! okay, i'm so coming back!

Eve makes clone of me, my mind goes with it, Eve stays and i'm gone!

where should i go?

New Beginnings

i sped out of the hospital room, you can catch the convo that i had with Jane on her blog that iv'e got listed in the sidebar.

i ran down to the boiler room, Kevin (or was it Sirus?) was putting the poison into the big tank thing when i arrived.

"nice Cleo, glad you made it" he said

"i can stop you" i said in a huff, i TKed him to the wall and began to freeze him when Cindy showed up.

"ha, you're stubborn, just like Linda, like your mother, like Howard" she said, her TK was unbearable as it lashed my skin and i felt major blood loss at an alarming rate, i was in too much pain, my powers were hardly strong enough, i manged to freeze her hand but it healed, i wasn't healing.

"power negation? greatest power ever right? and i found you, ha! i created that clone trick!" she asked, well stated. Kevin (Sirus?) raised to his feet.

"beaten too easily, you always said you were string and wiped the floor with anyone, what happened to you? your pathetic"

"flames burn out" i said, "then they grow a heart" i said, lamely

"don't go all Tin man on me" she said.

Flash back: my time in the past to stop Linda from going to the present.

bang! i knocked Ferris out before he could send Linda to the future, i replaced the notebook and turned around, being met by Death.

"hi ya" i said

"hey, are you like seeing anyone?" my god!

"not you" i said, Cindy walked in. she had no idea who i was, so naturally...

"get outta my house or i'll kill you" she said, i tried to teleport away but... power negation!

"i can't unless you let me out of this power flux thing" i said

"use the door" she said, i headed for the door, but then i felt my powers return, did she not think that i'd feel it?

"fight" she said

"i'm not fighting you" i told her

"coward" she said, "if you refuse to fight me then... pow" she said, i felt fire arm, it healed, i shot ice at her, she dodged it and it hit someone behind her, shattering them.

"No! you... i'll kill you" she cried, i teleported away.

"Kill my son, now you pay!" she cried. Sirus punched the tank and gas filled the room, he lit a match. boom.

Kate Ramone is dead, so her mind and memories go to the clone she made. I am Evita, the official clone she has chosen to send her mind to, it would usually go to the first clone but she pulled some strings in her 'mind will' as she called it. so here i am, in Odessa, Texas. i'm 17 and living the best age i ever was.

i sit by and watch the traffic go

in my life its best not to think about things too hard, it may cause my brain to explode.

iv'e been so many places in this dream place, iv'e been in Legally blonde The Musical, (there is such a thing), iv'e been Elphie from Wicked, and even Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady, but in spite of those (cos thy're all ace!) i still want to get out of this coma, i like consciousness and this completely pointless!

i sat their in a scene from my own past, i just had continue to watch it, me and Anne Hadely were cheerleaders and best friends, i killed her because she blew my cover and told the cops i killed my dad (accidental!)

"Clo's we have gotta get some new uniforms" she said to me, this must have been when we were 17.

"we don't need new uniforms" i said to her, Anne thought that every year everything had be new, while i thought that every year things had to be interesting.

"you are so boring! did you see Garry today? omg!!" she had a huge thing for Garry Shultz, i didn't understand what she liked about him.

"yeah, does he always have that deer in the headlights expression?" i asked her, "what do you even like about him?"

"i love his hair, his eyes, the way he changes the gears on my car"

"god," i said, i ran and swirled around a pole, "ten things you love about thou wretched Garry? allow me" i said, "you love the way he cuts his hair, you love the way that he stares, you love it he is surprised and when he's content, you'll love him most when you're both trapped in a tent" i said, i raised my eyes brows up and down "ooh la la, you love it when he's around and when he drops by and oh how you love it when he's being all shy, the only time you hate him is when he's dating every girl in the class, and when he's frolicking with them in the grass. you're mad about him"

"shut up" she laughed, i was a big time performer back then. i know it seems like a pointless seen, but it was a great time, it made me realize what great friends we were. a bright light shone, i sat there speechless.

"Clo," said Anne, "if you want we can go up to the hevs (heaven) and we can be like that again?" she said, i could see hope

"no, i can't my powers won't let me" i said

"you control you're powers though?" she said, confused

"but i can get a lot more, lots of stuff to do on sphere before i go to hevs" i said. then it went dark.

my eyes shot open, i was met by Jane and JD.

"oh my god she's awake!" cried JD, he was so happy!

"holy... wow! i'll go tell the nurse and call the others!" she was happy too, JD grabbed my hand and asked how it was.

"fine" i said, Speed and Slits and Arson raced in.

"this is great!" they cried, hugging me.

"yeah" i said, i was happy sure but i'd survived worse, right?

They left to give me some rest, i didn't need it, i sat and thought. who was trying to get rid of me? why did they want to blow up the school? this was so confusing!!!

i'm back.

there's no place like home. corny but true

I sit by and watch the river flow

the title of this post is because its a line from Dreaming by Blondie.

i swear that its Egypt in here! i can see the pyramids and the sphinx! i had always wanted to know how they built the pyramids and for a while now i have always thought that they used powers, and i was right, i could see people levitating huge rocks and placing them, i was in a place i'd wondered about but never got around to going to, i could see far off that their were huts, i may as well explore, iv'e tried to escape but came up fruitless.

i walked towards the huts, i swear that over the noises of the wind that i could hear the outside. my world. people were faintly talking, i could not use my powers in this alternate dream world, it at first made me feel weak but then i remembered that it was a dream, nothing could hurt me, i felt good. i walked into one of the huts.

living on a prayer, take my hand we'll make it i swear oh whoa! living on a prayer!

could be heard as i entered a dance, i looked up at a banner: class of 86'. the year i was born, i looked around.

"hey Zooey! sign my yearbook?" a girl asked me, i was sure that she thought i was somone else, but she could see me clearly, in this place: i was Zooey.

"uh, yeah okay" i said. i signed it

"thanks! i guess i'll call you! i can't believe you're going to Stanford!" she squealed, i liked this reality. then i heard something.

"whatever balloon animal! you and Howie can go sit and spin!" a girl said, i spun around, a girl clearly some kind of alpha popular girl was making fun of a pregnant high schooler, and a man much older than her.

"leave us alone!" the man yelled, he was familiar, and then i looked harder, it was Howard! my bio dad Howard! Auran! and my mother. i could see fury in his eyes as his hands started to tint with fire, but i'm sure that he knew that my mother hated those powers. they didn't mention her name, i know that i saved her once, from a fire but i never heard a name.

i looked at them, this was the year i was born, that was me, thats so weird. i backed away, i made for the door. i was safe again, i was back in Egypt.

i ran through the sand for hours, it was a dream world so i would never tire, i arrived at the Nile, i looked at it and ran my hands in the water as it flowed, why did i wish to swim? who cares? i jumped in, not even realizing how deep it was, i was never a strong swimmer, i felt myself sinking as i fought the current, then suddenly i heard the voices so much clearer!

"Clear..." zap! "clear..." zap! i felt myself floating the top.

i climbed onto shore, to my surprise i was completely dry! those zapping feelings! was i in a coma? no way, but it would explain, but why? what did i do?

i ran back to huts, and ran into a random one.

"Smells like teen spirit..." sang Nirvana from a nearby stereo, i was in a music store, i passed by many CD's and primitive ads for the Mp3 player (remember those?) it was dark outside, but i could vaguely see people, i walked to the back of the store.

"where the hell have you been Jennifer?" a man asked me

"i-" i said, i was lost for words, but then i caught a glimpse in the mirror, i was my mother! but if this was the nineties, then this was after she had left! omg!

"sort these" he handed me a box of CD's.

"cannot wait for ipods" i said under my breath

"ipods? what are they? some kinda drug?" he asked, if this guy didn't make me so scared and uncomfortable then i'd have laughed out loud to this.

"no they're like mp3 players only they can download things to them without even hooking them up to a computer" i answered, of course i was talking about the awesomeness that is the IPhone!

"no such thing! can you imagine that! next thing you'll say is that they don't even use poloroids!"

"well..." i said

"ipods! drugs. thats it, you're hyped up on ipods" he said, i stifled a laugh.

"Jennifer if you don't get yourself clean you are out of a job" he said, then he slapped me right across the face! it stung.

"do it. now" he said, i looked at him for a moment and bolted for the door.

the next hut was... Benny and Joon, yeah the movie, i heard the faintness of the real world, the song 500 miles was playing

When i wake up well in know i'm gonna be i'm gonna be the man who's gonna wake up next to you

i was Joon, i was making grilled cheese with Sam, played by- Stan. i looked at him, and kissed him, i could hardly believe it, we were there together. i stayed for a little while longer, then i walked out.

i sat there and yelled hard, for hours and hours, i wanted to wake up! it was so lonely here and i missed my friends and family (yeah... family) i wanted out! i felt like Dorothy in Oz!

I need my ruby slippers (silver if you want the book term), i need to click them together 3 times, i need home.

Shattered identity part 2

I was here in the ind of HIM, he is a proclaimer, which i've been explained is an empty soul, or rather someone who's minds were 'deleted' and replaced, but Kevin's (which it turns out is his name) mind was nor fully deleted and now he struggles against the mind of Sirus, who has very different beliefs to Kevin.

"Just let me go!" cried Kevin

"no! i deserve life! you never did anything with yours" said Sirus

"shut up!" i yelled, "i can give Sirus a body of his own and i can give him back his life, simple as that. no drama, okay?"

"no i don't like that" said, a new person, a woman. "if you do that... Cleo, you are going to get a piece of Sirus in you and your weak mind will be no match, plus then i wont be able to control anyone, right?"

"i'll give you someone!" i pleaded

"doesn't work for me" she raised her hands and Kevin began acting not by his own accord but hers. he fired things, like invisible but they hit hard. I fell to the ground and things were spinning i heard the voices of people i met, and the voices of people i'd never heard before. I was shaking and started hyperventilating, things were shaking and i felt a gentle shaking from someone on the outside, i begged to go out there, i needed to but i couldn't get anything to move,i heard someone talking in an Alabamian accent:

"wake up Kate! wake up!" she said, her name was on the tip of my tongue but i couldn't say it, i couldn't say anything, i felt someone probing my mind, i tried to get them back, telepath help, but i couldn't form a word, i could see Kevin being beaten and Sirus doing it, the woman had disappeared now.

I awoke in the boiler room, Jane was hovering over me, her eyes filled with worry.

"Ja-Ja?" i said, i was till disorientated.

"close enough" she said, she helped me up, i looked back to where Kevin should have been, but he was nowhere in sight.

"whats wrong? is there trouble with your power?" she asked, she knew! i suppose that it was only a matter of time before she caught on

"no no, ju- tred" which was supposed to translate to "just tired". she waked me back to my room, i didn't trust myself to teleport or to speed there.

"thanz" i said, she left, with some nudging.

i sat there and stared at the mirror, i have never been a good crier, iv'e felt sad and you could see that but tears always escaped me. I sat their, i had little use of my vast vocabulary so i just sat there close to crying but never quite getting there. suddenly my reflection moved, but i hadn't.

she spoke in a monotone and didn't smile and if she did then it was a smirk.

"you know Cleo, they say that when things like what happened to you happen then it's easier to cry, but you can't cry. can a i get a sociopath?" i screamed and fell off the bed, knocking my head, i had healing so i didn't get knocked out but i was sleepy, very sleepy. i'm posting this from my sleep, i can't seem to wake up.

Shattered identity part 1

Everything is in trouble

Speed was down in the USM she was having a race with some guy when that strange hotness guy (i read his mind and he just calls him self a Proclaimer, whatever that means, but i took special note of him not saying THE but A) turned up, eyes shut but light shone through none the less, he seemed to appear out of nowhere he raised his hand to reveal a match, i stood there and froze him but he just kept coming back! then i burnt him, he still came back it was like he was completely invincible! no, he wasn't he was just... powerful, more powerful then lots of people, he could rival me! he lit the match, and we were in the boiler room, he put his hand on the metal of one of the big tank things, his hand began to glow, all the while his match was staying alight. all the while i could feel some invisible force slowly killing me, but i never seemed to die.

he was finished, he punched a hole in the tank, it spurted out some kind of gas, the second it got to the match, flames were everywhere! i could feel throbbing all over my body and shattered bones. They hurt. the gas filled the school through the vent system and he raised his arms, i could smell smoke and then: BOOM!

i woke with a start, another dream.

Andrea was killing and bringing back to life a little mouse in a corner, i ran out and sped to boys dorm, i needed to kill this guy! he wasn't there, but i had a suspicion as to where he would be. i teleported down to the boiler room, he sat there, he was thinking nothing, or close to nothing, it was uncomprehensive like he was thinking something and something else at the same time. he was talking to himself, rocking back and forth making little circles out of smoke in the air, he was saying something like:

"if we stop now then-no- we can stop it and-no, you can't stop it what are you saying? no-one stops me! only you stand in the way!- i can stop you-STOP IT!!!!!" he yelled, it was loud enough to wake a few people, but my telepathy sent them straight to bed. i wasn't sure on what to say so i journeyed into his mind via my telepathy.

it was surreal, everything dark and then transitioning to light again, things were warped and every memory i passed was that of someone's death or someone talking to him and making him agitated. he was a pawn in some sicko's game, and now i was in there too. suddenly an eerie version of "three blind mice" started to chime.

"morning Katey, you seem afraid, haven't you ever seen a mind before?" i turned around, he was heavily scarred and holding pure darkness.

"who are you?" i tried to sound confident but my voice was shaking, i could here his talking from the outside, his ramblings were becoming annoying, i sent him to sleep. Strange Hotness guy, showed up, he was still rambling and his powers were showing through, he had a lot, but only one stood out.

TBC

Going Off topic

My roommate Andrea is has got a guy in the room and is currently biting his neck and i can hear his... er... enjoyment, so i'm going down the hall to introduce myself to that scholar ship girl from Alabama, she has that distinct Alabamian (thats a word?!!!) accent, seems nice and the guy she hangs with (Mike?) is cute-ish, but has homosexual hair.

anyways my premonition that some dude would blow up the school is kinda disturbing and whats worse is i lost contact with Rachel Olsen (one of my clones) so she's dead, therefore Cindy must be off my tail. the walls are thin so i can still hear the- activities going on down the halls, i think everyone can, i saw some people with ears pressed against the walls... getting off topic here.

my premonition's always right so this is worrying to say the least, i don't know what guy wants to blow up the school, it seems that i should stop this, i can! i have a hell of a lot of powers! so i can hear the action down the hall pretty well. starting to get annoying actually.

i'm sitting in music class, since Lana isn't in this and neither is JD i am bored by the tediousness that is my teacher Mr. Cowley, he's talking about Mozart, i don't care about Mozart! if i wanted to i could go back in time and meet him and kill him so i didn't have to sit through this! The Alabamian (Jane) is sitting there clearly distracted by some inner thought, i was bored so i read her mind, but all i got was static and sharp pain in my head, i knew that she had a power i can tell! but did she have mind reading? were our "signals" crossing? wow. who cares? iv'e come across a powered person in this school before... 2 actually, one is some art kid with this strange hotness about him (like Johnny Depp when he was in Edward Scissor Hands and Sweeney Todd) and there was also Andrea, she had the power of raising the dead, she and "Strange Hotness guy" were still downstairs- biting. the floors were thin, when ever Mr. Cowley stopped to take a breath we could hear gentle thumping. Off topic again.

Alabamian girl (lets just call her by her name- Jane) oh crap! Jane? i saved her life! she owes me! what do i get her to do? any ideas? not right now, so the premonition was exploding school, and that kinda sucks its good here when the teacher is talking, but then he shuts up and we can hear- something- eeerr- being done. off topic again! i don't want the school to blow up so i'm gonna try to stop it, besides i really want to live long enough to unsee what i saw in my room earlier today. i must stop going off topic

Premonition

Archer is doing pretty well, we have it all set up and i just sit around making threats and stuff, i'm living good, the shooting is still fresh in peoples minds, and i'm still wondering why my flying shooter friend didn't just fly away, but maybe deep down he wanted to die.

i sat in drama class, my friends were making a big deal because it was my 18th birthday, really it's my 24th, i was given some chocolates and stuff so it was nice.

I went and saw Wicked today, its a great musical (i heard it could be made into a movie), i have all the songs now and cant get One Short Day out of my head! I've been thinking about how much my life has been twisted and at times even ruined by my powers, its messed up, in my original plan i was supposed to be that i'd be the star of my own sitcom by now!

i sat down on my bed, my roommate the Gothic chick Andrea was doing some voodoo thing on Raymond Lansbury, i don't know why she hates him, its obvious he loves her! i'm thinking about getting an ipad, they look cool.

today was boring by all means, i did hear on the news about some car that was in Alabama had crashed, i spose thats sad. some girl got orphaned, thats sad. it s my hundredth post and look how far i have come!!!

i had a premonition today, it was... surreal, it was a building, it was blurry but definatly a building, a dude walks in, i follow, he's headed for the boiler room, there i am i'm tied and all bloody, i was barely breathing! but i was conscious, he was wearing a mask, that much was clear and he punched a hole in a big metal... thing, steam shot out, no, no! it wasn't steam! it was gas! he lit up a match and fire filled the room, i found myself outside. Bang!!!!!! the hole school went kablamo!

what a nice birthday...

Shots ringing in my ears

well it seemed that today was eventful to say the least, so lets just get straight into it:

WE had a school assembly so that the principal Mr. Bowman could lecture us on good citizenship and not littering etc, the lecture went on for what seemed like hours and JD (Justin) and i talked about how boring it was, when we got back to class their was someone unpleasant, and very unexpected waiting for us. Danny landers.

Flashback- 2002

"Don't Danny! i'm sorry! Mark didn't mean anything! just come down"

"Mark!? it's not Mark, Cleo if it were Mark i could get over it, but YOU? its your fault!!!! everything is you, the death of my family might have included! i have to do this!"

"life is better after high school"

"well i wouldn't know, would i?" Danial Landers, aged 16 jumped off of the gravel tower not far away from Odessa on the 21st of November, but he didn't die he flew.

"what the-!" i yelled, he was flying this was my first encounter with the supernatural but it wasn't the day i believed super powers were real.

"i'm... flying" he floated just above my head, he was twisting in the air trying to get down, i tugged and pulled him down, but he just floated again, he was terrified

"you wouldn't be so terrified if you didn't jump in the first place you idiot!" he was furious at that comment, i'm sure that that was what set him over the edge, just that word, or maybe it was just the fact that i took the chance to insult him even in his own terror. he inadvertently lunged forward, knocking me out, it wouldn't be until my powers set in that i would believe any of that was real.

He held a gun with him, he looked like hell, he held the gun up to me, "i could recognize you no matter how much you changed Cleo"

"Cleo?" JD asked

"i don't know what you're talking about" what else could i say?

"my little allies in the USM told me who you are, anyone can know that you would choose the rock chick look of Stephanie Zinonie in Grease 2"

"everybody on the ground" he yelled, he fired a shot for emphasis, it was silenced though. "now Cleo, i'm going to kill everyone here one by one just to make you feel how i felt that day, my friends, my family. Gone. Bang"

"i'm not Cleo! my name is Kate Ramone i'm from Chicago!" I yelled

"you are Cleo Trellis! and I've had friends spying on you for over a year! following you around, Techpower, The C.HA.S.E and Archer! i know that this is you!!!!!" he screamed, "it's you're fault, this is happening, you know it is" BANG!!!!!!

Flashback- 17th September 2002

"Cleo meeting my family will not be a piece of cake, they are very picky about the girls i date"

"it's just dinner, what could possibly go wrong?" we were at the family restaurant and they'd closed it early so they could know me more intimately.

"So Cleo when you graduate what do you plan to do?" His father asked, "cos' Danny here plans on becoming a chef"

"well..." i hesitated, Danny had told me his family liked people who knew where their life was going, but i couldn't lie to them on first meeting, "in all honesty i have no idea, maybe i'll be an actress" his families mouthed dropped

"bit of an unstable profession isn't it?" his mother Jennifer asked

"yeah but i like the unexpected" as if on cue a man broke through the door, he robbed us all clean, always holding a gun to us.

"now the bracelet girl" he said, i looked at my bracelet, i couldn't give that to him! it was a family heirloom! i hesitantly took it off and handed it to him, but i had a plan. i jumped out my seat and using my cheer leading moves i kicked the much bigger man into a feeble position, i held the gun to him.

"h-h-hands up!" i yelled, i never planned on firing it, he could tell that, he reached behind his back. i pulled the trigger but i missed smashing a window.

"just for that they get punished" he pulled out another gun, and shot me in the shoulder, it was just a flesh wound i was fine, but i dropped the gun he shot Danny's whole family, younger sister, brother older brother and parents. but he didn't use a silencer so the cops were there fast, Danny was shot in the stomach, but he lived. he blames me.

he had just shot the girl in the corner of the class (her name was Lisa Mcnamera), i knew that i couldn't reveal my powers, you never know who's watching, BANG! another shot was fired and more came, most of the class was already dead or bleeding, i had to help them, i didn't care about my own safety i TKed Danny through the window, he plunged to the death he should have plunged to 8 years ago, i looked at the massacre that is my class, i couldn't help them, they'd be in more danger if i were found out, i called the cops and ambulance, most had concussions and couldn't remember anything some were in critical condition and 4 died. i erased everyones memories for good measure and sat with JD as he recovered from 2 shots to the chest. my other friend Lana was fine, just a flesh wound. I hadn't felt guilt like this since i was 16, i'd felt guilt but never this kind of guilt. this sucks.

Shards of glass

Arson Ames looked like hell, he had come back from his assassination job, it seemed like Dr. S was trouble, i should have gone in one thought i could kill him, but wheres the fun in that?
"piece o cake" he said, i'm pretty sure it wasn't, i read his mind, but i don't speak Portuguese, i don't know how HE even speaks it! we were in a secret meeting place, well it wasn't so much secret but no-one knew we were actually there, you see on the app for my school i had to put my address right? so Kate Ramone (for Katherine Hepburn and The Ramones) lives at 36 Anisten Road, St Louis. i put put the helix on the front porch so specials know this is a safe place, well... more or less.

i was in math class, if this were me in my original high school days then i would have just skipped it and copied off of Anne Hadely (or Hadelo, she says its more Italian, so thats why she says it like that). my powers are making me the the most intelligent person in the state! so i'm doing pretty well for myself. so Justin and i were just making out and stuff while i telekinetically did my work, no-one was watching, the teacher was out, in fact he never showed up for more than 5 minutes! so in corners there were people getting high and listening to music and dancing (actually almost screwing!) in the middle of the room, Justin was about to duck for a cigarette when a window smashed.
from the outside.
it wouldn't have mattered so much, but it was from the outside! my enhanced vision caught an invisible figure, 2 actually. 2 men. They seemed familiar but i couldn't quite put names to them. No-one else had noticed this, shards of glass were all over the floor and people still continued what they were doing, Justin just looked at me while i stood there looking at nothing, well it was nothing to him, he decided to leave me be and went out for a smoke.

One man was holding a gun, the other was holding black lightening, they were here for me i was sure of it. i jumped out the window, flying over to them.
"bad choice" the gunman said
"why?"
"no-one should willingly go to their deaths, we don't get to see them suffer as much"
"well Janie, where do we start?"
"Janie?" i said, were they here for someone else?
"yes, you are Jane Robertson?" i had to think about this, if they were after a special who wasn't me, and someone who they felt they needed to kill with black lightening and a gun, the this girl was either very dangerous or very annoying, with a name like Jane Robertson i'm gonna go with annoying!
"yeah. i'm Jane" i said
"good" they laughed
"i don't like your tone" i said, and then i burnt them to a crisp, their scream were deafening.

i flew back in, the glass was all gone, the window was in good condition, i sighed, i hate my life sometimes, i was about to text Speed to see if she could go down to the USM to see if they know anything about what just happened, it could have been a test or something. then i dropped my phone it landed on a chair nearest the window, i picked it up. then i saw it, or i felt it, i had pricked my finger on a shard of glass, i looked up there it was- near the top left hand corner, a piece of the window missing i picked up the shard and put it back in it stayed there and then it was like the window healed! it was fine.

the bell rang and i walked out of the class, this was weird, i don't know who Jane Robertson is or was but i hope she's grateful that i just saved her life.

Sound of the Underground

i knew that Slits and Speed had been there before and i'd heard urban legends about The Underground Specials Movement, an elite group for fugitives of The Company or in any other danger, as long as you've got a power you're in. Its very shady and does most of its business under the table.

i walked through the slums of New York, i knew that it was best to go alone on your first visit it gives the impression that you're confident and can take anything, but truly. i was terrified. These people were powerful if they didn't like me then they could bring in their special executioner and kill me!

walking into the old fallen in building i kicked the special part of the wall, the brick fell in, revealing a white light that would have blinded me, but Speed told me that thats why its there so you cant see how you get in there, its more of a secret than the USM itself! I reluctantly looked into the light and everything went dark. I was standing there in front of a heavily scarred man, his hand lit up with an orb that wasn't fire or electricity, it was just pure light, that was the light that blinded me (kind of), but i still don't know how i got into the underground.
It was a large underground city almost, with cabins coming off the walls some of them 3 floors high, and just ahead i could see shops and stuff. this place had perhaps 1000 specials! i resisted temptation, this was a job visit, not a power one.

"Hello" he said as he lead me through i could see many shady looking people who i would NEVER trust, some people looked innocent and fidgety, they clearly had a few other thoughts on where to be though.
There were strong people and ones that had weak powers but managed to use them very... evilly but some accidentally evilly, like the girl in that modest skirt and blouse had the power to see and manipulate sound, she was able to make so much sound it caused a mans brain to hemorrhage! i heard her telling the story.
"hi" i said, this guy was wearing what looked like an old tuxedo that had been washed too many times. He could be handsome were it not for the scars and disfigured left arm.
"are you Kate Ramone?" He asked, his voice was smooth with a tinge of a welsh accent and had an almost sinister edge to it.
"yes" i had to use my school name/new life name of course, did i ever mention that that was my name? i am in hiding anyway. i look just like Michele Phfieffer in "Grease 2" BTW.
"i'm here about the-"
"we all know what you're here for, a lot of people here have some money saved up, they want your assassin to kill some people for them, people who they cant kill or could but run the risk of being caught by agents"
"i understand" i said.
"this is a community, it's shady and not a lot of laws, but we are a town like any other you got that? if you take on one of us or if you fail one of us, we're all angry and we will dispatch you to even the score"
i gulped and nodded.
"you clearly have a nice collection of abilities, no wonder you are the Aurris of the generation, its funny, i always thought that the title would stay in the Tavara family."
"well, it had to end some time"
"yes, the first daughter, Cleopatra (using the full name! how formal and embarrassing!) was a promising girl but she messed up, too greedy and took on too much, joined those ridiculous cults, The C.H.A.S.E and Techpower. those Chasers were once here you know? but they went against our code and we would no longer protect them, so many died all because they couldn't listen"
"yes, well, um" i was stuttering, "wh-who's the first client?"

She was in her fifties, and when she got upset a storm would brew, that was her power, weather manipulation. Her name was Alice, they don't say last names down there, so they cant be ratted out as easily, she requested that i kill Dr. Suresh, there were 2 and both were dead, but then she said:
"no, Chandra Suresh is dead, and it spread around from The Carnival that Samuel Sullivan had killed Mohinder Suresh, but we got word from Kadaji, our contact in Tokyo who was tasked in trailing Hiro Nakamura that this was not true, i want you to make it true. someone needs to pay for what happened at coyote sands"
"okay" she handed me 5 grand in cash, and i walked away.

"you cant back the way you came" said the light guy
"thats fine, i'll teleport" i said
"cant do that either, we have people here that control the uses of powers here, no one can get in using teleportation and no-one can get out, just tell us where you're headed"
"Vince Lombardi boarding School, in Illinois couple miles off St Louis"
"no problem, he's been there" he said, he took out a phone, that looked really cool "specially made for the USM" he said "untraceable by anyone except our finest scientists and technicians, built in with a laser, thats a more recent addition the designs we're actually stolen from Cleo Tavara's adopted sister Ali Trellis, very good at making things, not very bright from what i hear" he pressed on the multi touch screen and a man sped up behind us. Dig.

"afternoon" he said, he was very polite with a mischievous glint in his eye, if i didn't already have a boyfriend i'd be with him! he was cute! he told me to get on his back and hold on. he sped right up a wall and through dirt his hands digging ferociously, and in no time were back at my school.
"bye" i said
"wait!"
"what?"
"i have to tell you you're entrance, this hole we just made, in the concrete, that will be covered over in concrete again, but the rest of our tunnel will be kept, with cement walls and all! so if you phase through where the concrete will be then you are in the tunnel and can speed right into the USM go it?"
i nodded
"bye" he said shyly, he had a bit of a southern edge to his voice. i rushed inside and ran down to the boiler room.
"our first job" i said proudly

Well i've still been very much into taking powers and being a villain (i feel like i've changed soooo much since my first post and i want a clean slate but villainy runs in the family, i cant get away from it). anyway i've been gathering up some specials, who... well we're like the mob, and i'm the don, the big boss who is a villain (well morally very grey) and will not take it lying down when someone harms the "family." we're called the Archer mob.

My people are as follows:

Slits McCoy (Real name is Jeremy Parker)

History: an escapee from level 5, his life before then is hear say but The Company's "lost" files indicate that he was a petty thief until he was faced with a robbery gone wrong and his UNLOADED gun accidentally fired, killing a man on the street, he fled only to be confronted by Noah Bennet. He was taken in for testing.

I dont have the files from his testing but long story short he has the power of telekinesis and he accidentally fired a telekinetic bullet while holding the gun. i know i could look into his past but it seems that my clarsentiance hasnt comeback

Speed Manson (Real name is Amy Phoenix)

History: lived on the streets for 2 years after her parents kicked her out due to a drug habit, after getting clean she becomes a waitress at bar, when the bar closes she has a tough time getting a job even resorting to being a hooker. when an old client cant let go she must out run his car, that is when she discovers her power. Super Speed.

Arson Ames (real name Aaron Ames)

History: originally from Australia Arson moved here when he was 10, soon enough finding a fascination with flames. at age 13 he had burned down his middle school in an act of cold blood killing a teacher and 6 students, he was sent to a therapist with little progress, he was then sent to a clinic in Wyoming, again with little improvement. At age 15 he had become especially angry and upset at his parents for seeing him as a freak, his psychokinesis activating and burning them to a crisp. going on the run while his other powers started to develop (psychokinesis has many different powers) he is caught by Agent Thompson and detained for 3 years. persuading (without using powers) Elle Bishop to let him escape he flees to Alabama and starts an new life as Eric Waters, he was a serial killer until Linda took his powers leaving him only with PK (pyro). i tracked him down as a welder in Idaho, he accepted to be our "dispatcher" (assassin) for our mob.

"Archer". manly operates out of the boiler room at my school. we are very The Godfather and thanks to Speed and Arson's connections to the Underground Specials Movement (USM)we already have some powerful people on our side.
