Snippet #976238

Markus sighed, slowly but surely getting up from his counterpart's earlier position, and then proceeded to heat himself up. Why? Because that night Darius had decided quite adamantly to sleep on the roof for no reason at all. Which meant it was cold. Very cold. Sometimes Markus wondered if Darius did these kinds of things just to annoy him, but shrugged the thought off as he wouldn't have been able to do anything about it anyway. A quick take at a note that the kid had written lying on his skateboard told him that yes, today was the day that there would be a meeting for those in Aegis. Darius WAS the one who came with the decision to join, after all. With that, Markus once again sighed at the prospect of covering the city's distance in less than an hour.

Either way, he grabbed his only mode for transportation next to him and displayed a trick, in the end landing on the railing of the oh-so-familiar roof with the board now under him. He looked downwards for a moment, noticing the faint outlines of four people: one holding a gun, another holding a kid hostage, the third running to see what was happening, and the fourth.. well, the kid. It wasn't long before Markus, too, felt the extreme tension in the air. And as usual, what accompanied it was extreme fear. That was all he ever needed to know. Alters. Again. What a pain.. He stretched out his arms and groaned, his own lazy side affecting his will to go see what was going on. But he knew he'd have to go eventually. Markus took a deep breath, a second to admire the scenery of the night, and then dropped.

One never knows what it feels like to fly if they haven't plummeted from the roof of a building. Just before impact, a small 'poof' sound of air broke his fall, and the split second after the matter surrounding the wheels of his skateboard sped to an unexplainable speed shooting him off as a blur behind the one holding a gun. That was Markus' power. Control over possibility and impossibility. All it took was a way to make it happen. Of course, the 'why' and 'how' didn't matter. In fact, the things needed to make it happen didn't have to be present either. Just a way. Anyhow, masking sound wasn't technically a difficulty either, and so he magically appeared behind what appeared to be a member of Nemesis with a hand settled neatly around the base of her neck. Markus knew Aegis.
