"All right not like this day could get any crazier" Who is this person and what is their angle. I walk over to the bike trying to stay calm. "I seem to be able to blow things up when I puch them, and the name's Glade. I think we might be a good combination super-fast punches that explode anyone?"

"Mmm... if you could throw them as a projectile of some sort, then that would be good, but I'm going to guess not. Either way, we're both good at accelerating things to high speed - but yours is a lot more instantaneous. Just doesn't go as fast as mine. I can tell that we're going to be one heck of a team in that department." She grins and chuckles for a moment before it disappears, and she looks over to the other two. "How about you two, huh? Got anything good?"

"I guess i can mess up anyone's mind and they seem to fail their powers when i do so. I can't reLly control it yet so i guess it would be better for me to not use it very often. I'm Tyler by the way."

​

She rides up to the entry of the alleyway on her motorcycle, and stops in front of them, supporting her cycle with her leg due to the missing kickstand. Esaias rolls her eyes at them as they seem to be super determined to get to some form of lab. "Look, would you rather sit around and hide or would you rather save some other people? There's another one just down the street at the hospital, and judging by how that guy was only targeting those of us with powers, I'd say that guy is going after people with powers too. We can go to this lab of yours later, we're going to need all the allies we can get if this becomes a regular thing.

While I'm at it, I may as well introduce myself." She hops off the seat of her bike, leaning up against it to keep it from falling over. "My name's Esaias. I suppose I'll learn all your names as we move along, but for right now, if we're going to fight that thing, we should have a fair knowledge of each other's powers. I suppose you all know your own. As for me, I appear to have the ability to accelerate anything I touch to ridiculous speed depending on how long I touch it for."

Hearing the sound of engines, I stood up. Honestly, I was dead tired already - this has been more action than I've experienced in my whole life all together, undoubtedly: And it's not like they seem to need me anyways, I assure you, I'll end up being useless, once again. I sighed.

-"Another one? Christ..." - I mumbled to the sound of her words, crossing my arms into a more comfortable position.​

I glanced at her body, examining it completely, as I do with most of people I meet. I took a couple of steps forward in her direction, raising my hand slightly, expecting her to greet me back:

-"Name's Christopher, feel free to call me Watson, though. I, apparently can store and redirect any material object thrown at me at the same momentum they were launched. Not too useful compared to ours." -I sighed once more, leaning to wall closest to me once again- "Tell me you have any idea of what's going on here, please." -I raised my eyebrow with a sad expression.​

 

[xTordX]

I watched Chris trying as hard as he can to even speak.
"If you haven't figured out yet he's like this because of me. He... ate a lid... Hehe. Sorry for that Watson"

Looking at Tyler, I tipped an imaginary fedora, displaying a light smile. I turned my head in Esaias direction once more, waiting for a response.

She chuckles at them for a moment before she scratches her head underneath her hood. "Well, from what I've been able to gleam so far, which is basically educated guessing, there seems to be these... people, chasing after people like us who don't know how to control their powers yet. I mean, when literally all of us started getting attacked, that was about the time our powers started showing up, right? Fear will trigger the brain to do all sorts of stuff. If people are hunting us down in a shockingly organized fashion, then there has to be a reason. I'd guess that we're... superheroes of some sort, and they're the supervillains. And if they're so organized, and seem to know what they're doing, then there's gotta be more of us. I mean, some sort of superhero organization underground... all that jazz.

Basically, we're going to become the avengers."

Yep, this was definitely bigger than what I had in mind. We're dealing with, an evil organization of sorts, aren't we? But, why now? Why go after us all at once? Wouldn't be easier to target us in a more stealth manner, so it won't cause alarm? There's so many unanswered questions, I might as well stop thinking about them.

-"I definitely don't know how I feel about this..." - I sighed, firming my glasses back into place - "I guess our next course of action now is, that hospital you mentioned, correct?" - I sparkled a bit more confidence.

I can't just let go now, if this is so big as she says, I can't just run away: hell, even if I'm only used as a escape goat, this is important, I need to help, somehow, any way I can.

Curiously, she watches him pretty much stumble around in thought. "Yeah, that hospital is probably the best thing we can do right now. Maybe someone will have a better idea of what's going on. Either way, you guys might want to get some water, clear up your minds - I doubt we'll be able to take that guy on again with our powers somewhat defunct. Tyler, try to keep that... power jammer of yours under control. I suppose that'll be our last resort if we really have that much trouble with the guy."

 

[xTordX]

As soon as i heard that something popped in my mind.
"Yeah, i thought about it too. Hey, how come you know so much about this? What's your occupation?"(i had a vague idea what's the answers's going to be)

[Hospital]
I notice the guy in the wheel chair had left, then realised my pockets were suspiciously light. Checking them I realised I had been robbed and cursing ran after him, dodging staff as I followed him to the back door

"Head Scientist of Mekhan Inc. You know, the place that makes really advanced stuff for ridiculous prices? Yeah, I always kinda hated the price they put some of my inventions at... I build those things to help people, not to be sold for ridiculous amounts of money. Though I will admit that I need money to make a living... er, sorry, that's getting off topic.

I've had some time to think about it while I was riding here from my workplace. Mainly, to go to the hospital to see if I was having hallucinations, or if it was an actual thing, if I could learn how to control it. I have some pretty insane ideas for this thing if I learn how to control it."

 

[xTordX]

"Well that's fancy. Anyways we'd better help at the hospital. Come on!"

"So, I am the only boring one around here" - I said, in a playful tone.​

I glanced at Tyler, who reminded us of the objective: get to the hospital. "I'll start betting with myself: Can this day get any weirder?", the thought just couldn't leave my mind. And as the dizziness started to fade away, I stood away from the wall I was previously leaning at, and taking a few steps forwards I said:

"He's right, we need to hurry."​

 

[xTordX]

|Tyler|
|Streets|

(I wonder if...)"We can't walk by foot all the way, can we? I said, taking out my phone and tapping some stuff. "Just a sec..."
I called for my personal bike with the press of a button. It arrived automatically and i jumped on. "All right, Watson? You can go with Esaias. Now let's go!" I said, accelerating towards the hospital. "TRY TO CATCH UP!"

​

I watch as his bike practically rides up, and smirk just a little at seeing somebody that inventive. As soon as she sees him start to drive away, she looks over to the two left in the alley. "HEY! I think you forgot about the redhaired girl! Who's SHE gonna ride with!?" Esaias shouts to him as he accelerates away, before sighing and patting the seat behind her. "I suppose you may as well ride with me, Watson. If he doesn't come back for you, Glade, you look fit enough to run there yourself. Just... don't expect to not be in the middle of the action, I suppose."

 

[xTordX]

|Tyler|
|Streets|
I suddenly break after hearing Esaias.
(Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!) I think as i smack myself in the foregead 3 times. "Sorry!!"
I come back to the group.
"Ok hop on!"

|Old Docklands|

Hammering its corpse and its arms against you, the corpse seems determined for whatever reason to stop you from doing anything. What appears to be more bizarre is the glowing green light in its chest, which grows brighter and brighter with every attack.

The corpse just seems to keep attacking nonstop, but it seems to be losing stamina, weirdly. After a few attacks, he spends a few minutes charging up for another attack, guard clearly open. This will be an easy shot.

|Simon|
|Parking Lot|

"Strength in numbers, eh? I like how you think." It wasn't a lie, if games taught me anything is that if you have two armies with roughly the same equipment and skills, the first one to seize the advantage is the one who has more people.

"Ultimately, though, I don't know my own powers. According to that weird guy I can change the direction of stuff mid-air... It gets harder if they're coming at me, so I can't deflect a bullet... yet."

My success in dodging all its attacks is apparently starting to frustrate the corpse, as its swings get wilder and wider. Combined with its apparent lack of stamina, openings begin appearing all over, but my sword isn't yet fully grown. I keep dodging and blocking as the wild flurry of blows peters out into a trickle, and then stops altogether. A strange green glow is coming from the corpse's chest, not unlike the orange glow that covers my shield and now fully-formed sword. As I step closer, the corpses raises both its fists above its head, clearly intending to hammer them down upon me. In doing so, it leaves its entire torso open.

I push in, raising my shield above my head to cover any incoming blows. As I draw my sword back, I shout the only only battlecry that seems appropriate. "Hit the weak point for massive damage!" I yell, as I thrust my sword towards the green glow in the corpse's chest.

I jump on the bike gracefully. To the hospital huh...I wonder what situation this will put us in..."Everyone be ready to use your powers if we run into something! I don't think we're the luckiest bunch"

"Well, since I saw another guy over there that seemed almost identical to the one we just fought, I don't think he's going to be friendly. Either way, there's no time to lose - who knows if he's caught any other people yet..." Esaias hops back up onto her bike, putting her foot on the ground to keep it from tipping, and shifts forward a little to give Watson the proper space as he jumps onto her motorcycle. She wastes no time, and turns past Tyler, racing down the street. "Now it's your turn to keep up!" she shouts back to them, revving her engine in a taunt.
