Name: Athena Jane Powell
Age: Twnety Two
Sexuality: Bisexual
Alliance: Hero

Power: Well, Athena's power, is only useful in talking people into getting what she wants. Another thing Persuasion may be known as is charmspeaking and with charm speaking she can influence anyone by her own voice into getting them to do what she wants them to do. It's like a little switch that goes off in her head that tells her how one may be able to act when it comes to talking circles around people, and normally one thing that helps her power is giving certain touches, like on the shoulder or anything really. It's much more difficult for Athena to charmspeak a women versus a man, although if that women were bi or lesbian, it'd potentially be a bit easier, it's more of a flirting power that she has. Sometimes she can persuade people into killing themself or another person, or she can bend them against their will, it's not really I got power to have in combat much but it's great for interviewing people who have information she wants to know. Her weakness is potentially the fact that it gets a bit buggy and sometimes she doesn't do it right, although that's not much of a control problem her power has always been like that as far as she can see. being fully trained there's not too many problems with her power, sometimes it can drain her though, and the more it's used the more it gradually takes energy away from her, although she doesn't really control when she uses it either. Which is a bad combo.

Skills: Lock picking, hacking into systems, cooking, agility, and smooth tongue
Weaknesses: Physical strength, close combat, half blind so a major blind spot, she was almost burned alive once so she has major burn marks on her stomach that are very vulnerable, and she can't sing to save her life.

Likes: Birds, guys, vodka, coconut, canvas shoes, pickings locks, having fun, foxes, archery, and shoes in general.
Dislikes: Fire, heels they're a paint to walk in, chips, flowers, sunshine, and swimming.

Personality: Athena is the type of girl who is more of the sarcastic and joking type. She teases anyone and everyone. She also has a habit of being sarcastic to people who she's around and talking to, she doesn't always try to be like that but she just happens to be. She also seems to have good come backs to, and she owes that to being a quick thinker and she's quick on her feet, although when ever she's in a situation she just does things as she goes along, she's a winger, and she wings things almost constantly and doesn't really like to plan, in that sense she's rather adaptable to most situatios that occur. Athena is rather blunt, and she only tells the truth, she doesn't like to surgar coat things either, and she doesn't like to lie and in return she hopes people don't lie to her either. Athena will tell you how it is but if she knows you're a sensitive person she might not be as forceful with the truth.

She is one of those girls who have that incredibly sweet side though, she's not all sarcasm and jokes, she can be quite serious and cutesy. She can be charming and caring all in one go. She knows how to care for people, and she's actually very loyal, even though it may seem as she is independent she's not, she likes team work, and she's always trying to help others, but she doesn't like to make it completely obvious all the time, and she can give out sincere compliments and such too, she just doesn't like the idea of being exposed so she doesn't open herself up like this to just anyone.

History: Athena was born to an alcoholic and druggie who gambled, they were always gambling their money away and it was harsh on Athena to live in a condition like that. She was always around alcohol, drugs, gambling, and it wasn't a good thing for a child to be around. They even ended up giving Athena a little brother who they named Nuka. Her and Nuka were always close although her parents were hardly home so Athena had to take care o her brother, feed him, play games with him, and she was basically like a mother to him.

There wasn't a whole lot that Athena could do with her parents so she had a crazy idea one day while she was thirteen. She ran away taking her brother with her and she helped her brother escap and he made it to the orphanage but her father found her and dragged her away, he took her home and began to beat her over and over again, Athena kept crying out for him to stop but ne never did, her face got so bloody, and she had horrible bruises all over her, her father was a horrid druggie, and he had been mixing them up, plus he had a mental illness that was unknown to the public. He locked her in a metal shed out on their run down land near the back. They had always lived on the outskirts. But he had shoved her in there and he had set his own daughter on fire and he left. Her screams were horrifying, and by the time someone had found her, her whole upper half of her body was burned and she was bleeding. they put the fire out but she was still screaming bloody murder. After that she stayed in hospital for months for recovery, and she wanted quite a lot and she had happened to use her power to help aid her with it. The people who helped her out were about to cut her off when Athena knew she needed a lot more time so she knew she had to talk them into letting her stay in there. So she did.

After recovery, she was wandering the streets with no where to go, and no where to hide, she tried to go to the orphanage to see her brother, but they were told a family came and took him too a new home. Athena cried on the side of the road for hours, until eventually a person came by to talk to her and talked about the endless outcomes and all the good things she could do while with them. Eventually she left with the guy and she went into training to be along side with the heroes. She didn't want to be a bad guy like her parents, she wanted to help people, like she always has been doing. Although she was a bit young for extreme training like the normal ones that they do but when she was fifteen she went into proper training.

Other: Athena has horrible nightmares to this day about what her father did to her, and no one knows what happened that night beides her, and if someone else does know she told you and she trusts you like crazy. She doesn't trust really anyone, she's scared to trust and she's scared of people touching her.

So begins...

Scott took a mouthful of coffee as he headed back into the base. Everything had just been so chaotic when he had woken up, and he had just had to get out of the base for a while. It was unusually calm when he returned with his coffee in hand, and he started to wonder if the whole thing had been a prank by the other heroes, just to wind them up.

He thought he'd seen her again when he'd got his coffee. Ever since he'd first seen her, he'd been going to the same place for his coffee in the hope that he would see her and talk to her. He'd met her a couple of times and they had talked enough to call each other friends. He'd fallen for her on first sight. He hadn't had a chance to talk to her today- which was probably a good thing. He had been so weirded out by the whole thing, he'd probably give away too much. He'd told her that he was a freelance journalist.

He passed by the conference room and stopped. It was chaos in there. It made sense. All of the trainees had gathered there. Looked like the other heroes hadn't just been playing a trick, then. He went in and sat at the back of the room, waiting for someone to try and regain order. He then realized that he was probably the only person who could.

Sighing to himself, he stood up and headed for the top of the room. Nobody noticed- they were too panicked. It was understandable. They'd all heard the message that had been received, all heard the rumour that the greatest villain was still to come. They were all terrified out of their wits. Even he was a little scared.

"Guys-" They didn't hear him. He tried raising his voice, but to no avail. He rolled his eyes, climbing to stand on the table. "GUYS!" He yelled. He picked up a glass from the table and hurled it at the ground. The crash was loud enough to force them to look at him, still standing on the table.

"I know we're all scared. I don't know what's happening, but we need to get out onto the streets, make sure everything's okay. We need to prioritize the civilians at the moment. If we're right, then there could be something huge happening very soon. Get prepared. Usual precautions- student ID's, cover stories, and so on.

Right now, guys, you are the heroes. So you need to be responsible. There's nobody who can patch up your mess if you screw up. So don't. Go get ready. You have five minutes. Meet me back here."


His own outfit of a white short-sleeved shirt and black jeans was enough to pass him off as a teacher. He swung by his room briefly to grab a pair of glasses. The lenses were just plain glass, but they made him look a little more like a teacher. He swore to himself as he realized the major flaw in his plan. Teachers would have to be able to read. He'd just have to hope that nobody asked him to read anything.

He headed back for the conference room, sinking back into the chair at the head of the table and swinging his feet onto the table. All he could do was wait for the chaos to start.

Image


Cameron spun himself around in the swivel chair idly. Everyone had gone mad since most of the fully trained villains had disappeared. Someone had suggested going out into the streets, seeing what was happening there. With nothing better to do, they'd decided to go. It hadn't taken Cameron long to get dressed.

A small flame appeared in his hand, and he started playing with it, manipulating it into different shapes. He formed a ball and threw it into the air. He wasn't sure if it would hang there or if gravity would affect it. It seemed it was the latter, as he missed it and it fell to the carpet. He quickly extinguished the flames, but there was still a burn mark left. Oops.

He leaned back in the chair and started to spin himself around once again, waiting for someone else to come in. His beanie nearly flew off, and he grabbed it before it did. He felt unusually calm, considering their deaths could be waiting for them in the near future. He was even surprised at himself. It was probably due to the fact that he'd had a night of decent sleep for the first time in about two weeks, with no bad dreams about drowning.

He glared at the glass of water on the table and slid it towards him, dipping his finger into the glass and lighting a small flame. It was difficult to keep it going, considering the lack of fuel and temperature, but it focused his attention. He removed his finger, concentrating on the flame. It was a good idea all around- focusing his mind and satisfying his pyromania without any risk of burning the base down. He focused all of his attention on the glass, trying to encourage the flame to grow.

Andrew had left the conference room the moment Scott told them to get prepared. Whilst he stripped down out of his sweatpants and t-shirt, drawers opened up around him. Folded clothes levitated about the room until they reached the bed where they took their own initiative, resting themselves lightly on top of his mattress. He adorned his clothes, dressing the part of a regular high school graduate, shoving his fake Student ID in his pocket. There was not much he could do at this point to prepare because he didn't know what to prepare for. At first Andrew thought they were pulling a prank, maybe even an emergency drill to test their reactions upon discovering that they were gone. But when they saw the blood on the floor, that's when they knew it was real. Someone was killing heroes. If that was true then Andrew didn't see any logic behind going to the surface and splitting up, monitoring civilians. He didn't want to leave them alone or defenseless, but he didn't see how they were in danger. Regardless, he returned to the conference room, seeing Scott at the head of the table, sunken into the chair.

He looked stressed, more so than usual. Walking in on the chaos earlier must've taken a toll on him given the circumstances. In retrospect, it was curiosity spiked Andrew's interest more than concern. He wanted to know what was going on, every little detail. He didn't like being left out in the dark, not in a situation like this. Scott had been his mentor since he first arrived at the base. It wasn't like him to keep anything important like this a secret. Especially from his trainees. Scott had helped him a lot throughout the years, the trainer having brought his mental stamina and overall ability to a whole new strength. Andrew felt almost selfish for wanting more from him. But from what he could tell, this was life or death. People were going to die. And some of the most powerful heroes already have.

Andrew stayed at the back of the room, watching over his mentor as his fellow trainees began to file in. He knew it was only a matter of time before someone demanded to know the details of what was happening. Andrew himself just wasn't going to be the one to do it.

Should I tell them? Helena pondered as she sat in solemn contemplation, as she sat in her room at the compound. Even if I did, what would I say? Nothing like this has ever happened before.

The moans and creaks of the prison above reverberated around her, giving her a sense of unease. She never preferred it here over her apartment downtown. She kept only the necessities in this bedroom, during times of grave importance when she just had to be here. This room was just like any common guest room, no personalization or sign that anyone lived there. She hadn't been in this room for nearly a month. Now, all of a sudden, Matt had called her back saying that there was a problem. It was happening. The villains who had trained her, picked her up off of the streets, practically helped her discover her true potential aren't just missing. They're dead. Helena felt a gaping hole in her chest. It was like losing family all over again. She didn't know how to cope. She could only wait for Matt to show up and still her grieving heart.

Helena made her way to the conference room begrudgingly, unable to put on her casual demeanor. She sat at the head of the long, steel table for the trainees to come back in. They were planning on leaving. But Helena couldn't let them do that, couldn't let them walk out that door without some knowledge of what was actually going on. She glanced up as Cameron walked into the room, not noticing her as he played with his fire. She leaned back into the leather chair, burying her face in the palm of her hand. As soon as she felt the air in the room become more condensed she raised her gaze, realizing then that everyone had made it inside of the conference room.

"Sit tight everyone. There's something important you must know.." She inhaled deeply through her nose, reluctantly admitting her weakness, "Unfortunately it is something I cannot bring myself to tell you. We'll all just have to sit tight until Matt arrives.."

Alisia felt the fear strike through her, it woke her from sleeping. It was so intense, coming from all around her. It was deafening, it made it hard to think let alone get dressed. She decided to pull a black hoody on over her tank top and pajama pants and make her way to the conference room.

The closer she got to the conference room the more painful the fear became. She made herself take deep calming breaths as she forced her way in.

"I know we're all scared. I don't know what's happening, but we need to get out onto the streets, make sure everything's okay. We need to prioritize the civilians at the moment. If we're right, then there could be something huge happening very soon. Get prepared. Usual precautions- student ID's, cover stories, and so on.

Right now, guys, you are the heroes. So you need to be responsible. There's nobody who can patch up your mess if you screw up. So don't. Go get ready. You have five minutes. Meet me back here."


Before she could even make her way entirely into the room everyone was rushing back out. Already tired from the pain in her head she made her way back to her room. What in the world was going on? She did as she was told, quickly dressed. She brushed her hair, letting it hang long today, trying to take whatever pressure she could off of her head. She also quickly popped some Excedrin, and pulled her student ID lanyard around her neck. Slipping on her Airwalks, she made her way back to the conference room. She wanted to know what was going on, she searched the minds of those around her. She got pieces, blood stained floors, heroes gone, some woman? This only aroused more questions for her. She saw Andrew standing in the back of the room.

”Do you know what is going on?” she asked mentally. Her voice probably sounded tired and pained even in his head. She knew he would understand.

The conference room in the heroes base was loud, all the trainees gathered were trying to figure out what had happened. Each idea was being shouted louder over the top of the last. It was, Sky thought, a bit of a mess. She had voiced her own ideas obviously but hadn't spoken since then, preferring to turn around the others' ideas. She was still trying to figure out exactly what had happened. The whole situation was still a bit of a haze really. All she knew for certain was that suddenly all their heroes had gone.

Well, not all of them. Sky spotted Scott entering the room and trying to grab everyone's attention. It didn't appear to work until Scott picked up a glass and smashed it on the ground, the sound of it shattering caught everyone's attention. The room fell into a hush and they all turned towards Scott.

"I know we're all scared. I don't know what's happening, but we need to get out onto the streets, make sure everything's okay. We need to prioritize the civilians at the moment. If we're right, then there could be something huge happening very soon. Get prepared. Usual precautions- student ID's, cover stories, and so on... Right now, guys, you are the heroes. So you need to be responsible. There's nobody who can patch up your mess if you screw up. So don't. Go get ready. You have five minutes. Meet me back here." Scott's words sent everybody out of the room, their goal clear now.

Sky stood up and, in the blink of an eye, she disappeared with a barely discernible 'pop' sound as the air rushed to fill the space where she had been.

She reappeared in her room, standing in the middle of her room. Rather than take the few steps over to her wardrobe she teleported again, appearing close enough to slide open the door and stare at her clothes. She pulled out a simple outfit, changed and then teleported to the spot in front of her mirror. Casual, comfortable and definitely something a student would wear. She left her hair down, there wasn't much time to do anything with it now. She double checked to make sure she had her student I.D and then, satisfied with everything, she teleported back into the conference room.

Alicia, Andrew and Scott were the only ones in the room at the moment. Sky took a seat next to Scott.
"It's pretty bad, huh?" She remarked to Scott. Her question didn't really need an answer since anyone could see that the situation was indeed bad. Sky just wanted to fill the silence.

I've no idea, Ali. But don't worry, Scott wouldn't lead us astray. I'll keep you safe. The words washed over her and gave her a sense of relief. She knew that she was more than likely able to keep herself safe, but the fact that Andrew would say that made her more happy than she cared to admit. She smiled as he raised his pinky, she followed suit.
'Thanks,' it was a soft spoken phrase, full of all her appreciation. I have your back too

Alisia tried her best to hide her surprise as the blonde girl popped into the conference room. It was Skyla. Ali tried her best to smile at the girl, but with the pain pulsing through her temples she imagined it looked less sweet and more grimacing.

“It is pretty bad huh?” she asked. Ali nodded.

'Seems that way,' she projected with her thoughts from the room to hear. She was both too shy and in to much pain to use her real voice.'Hopefully Scott will be back soon.'

Scott jumped a little as Skyla took a seat beside him. He'd been lost in his own thoughts, and mentally slapping himself in the hope that he'd wake up. "It's pretty bad, huh?" He nodded, sighing a little as he stretched. "Bad is an understatement." He remarked. He smiled a little at Alisia as she sat down, but she didn't seem to notice him.

He instinctively done a quick headcount, seeing who they were missing. Andrew was still waiting down the back of the room. Alisia and Skyla were at the desk. The only person missing was Athena. He wished there was some way he could leave a message for her, but his dyslexia made writing more trouble than it was worth. "Okay guys. Let's get going."

He led the way up to the street, glancing around. The city was chaotic, but no more so than it usually was. The words left his lips instinctively. "Stick together, guys. Let's have a quick scout around."

Everywhere was filled with words. Maybe it was because he wasn't in the best of moods, but it seemed even more frustrating. He could make out every third word or so, but not much more. His eyes dropped to his feet, trying to cloud his frustration and disappointment in himself. Even with all the coaching he'd received, he could hardly read or write his own name.

His eyes flicked up, and it took him a moment or two to register the sight he saw before him. But when he did, he swore to himself. It wasn't just them out in the city, then.

Image


Cameron smirked as Helena tore into Dismay. He mightn't have liked the heroes, but Helena had a point. As soon as they were dismissed, he stood up, fixing his beanie and heading out to the streets.

Cameron spotted Xeno, Helena and Lara together, with Xeno grabbing them all in a bear hug. The sight made Cameron immensely glad that he wasn't with them. He wasn't particularly fond of human contact. He could barely tolerate Helena hugging him or whatever. Nobody else was allowed to get that close.

He watched the scene unfold. Lara came towards him as Helena wrapped Xeno in a hug. Cameron smiled at Lara, a spark flaring between his fingers.

"What do you think about all this? About losing all those people I mean." She asked. He raised an eyebrow, shrugging a little. "I don't know. I don't think it's really set in yet. It's just like we're on another trip and that they're going to show us how to rob a bank without anyone noticing or something."

Something caught Cameron's eye and he turned to face it fully. A group of teenagers, all about their own age, led by a guy that looked about Helena's age. They weren't exactly the most extraordinary sight in San Francisco- until he saw Skyla. The heroes were on the streets as well. Matt had appeared at some point, but Cameron was more worried about Dismay. He watched her, trying to gauge her reaction. The flame that was still flickering between his fingers swelled until it formed a ball of fire, ready to intervene if necessary.

Image


Matt has been about to speak when Lena stepped in, dealing with Dismay. As the villains began to disperse, he himself headed to they room he usually occupied. He traded his black t-shirt for a clean white one, pausing briefly to fix his hair, before heading out to the streets. It took him a little while to find them, but when he did, he didn't like what he saw.

The heroes were on the streets as well. He hadn't seen them encountering each other. Something with as much possibiltiy for destruction as this wouldn't slip past his power, so it was entirely a coincidence. That didn't make it any less dangerous.

He glanced at Dismay, who hadn't seen them yet. "LENA! At your ten o'clock!" He yelled, striding forward. He went to stand a short distance from Dismay, enough so that he could prevent her from attacking if he needed to. He caught Lena's eye and shook his head.

No. Don't run. We can find out what the hell is happening and if it's happening to these guys.

A bored expression tugged at Dismay’s fine features as she strode over to their group, a feeling of absolute disgust at the sweet display flashed within her. God.. whatever happened to villains being cruel and ruthless? Its all because we have one soft member.. I know it! She’s causing everyone to turn bloody soft! ranted a nauseated voice within her being, the temper flaring even more at the mention of Helena. Instinctively, her posture became rigid and standoffish as resumed a place on the outer edges of the circle next to Cameron.

Feeling a soft warmth near her legs, Dismay raised an arched eyebrow at her team member, those black orbs holding a questioning gleam. Sliding her eyes downwards to land on his fingertips and seeing the small flame flicker between them, the villainess’s signature smirk returned to its former residence before speaking out, the tone more or less amused and slightly threatening. ”Watch it, flameboy. Don’t you dare set these tights on fire, they're my favorite.” Choosing to direct her attention away from Cameron, Dismay shot another venomous glare over at Helena, who had, currently, placed her hands lovingly on her friend’s face. Gritting her teeth in annoyance, the young woman crossed her arms to constrain that urge to rip off her trainer’s face. That bitch.. she’s lucky I have enough self-control! resonated the haughty thoughts as she continued to stare at Xeno and HER.

However, a movement on Cameron’s hands yanked her eyes to look down curiously. That harmless flame was now turned into a full-blown ball of fire. That arched eyebrow raised even further in an incredulous surprise, those black orbs narrowing ever-so-slightly. ”Cameron what the hel-”, Dismay’s hissing words were cut off by another movement in her peripheral vision as Matt, their leader, stepped up next to her. What the hell are they doing?! growled a furious voice within her mind at their sudden closing in on her. The villainess was about to open her mouth to display the hostility when Matt boomed, his voice causing her to wince. "LENA! At your ten o'clock!". Whipping around to stare at Helena, Dismay froze iin place at the sight of the approaching heroes.

Those black hued eyes narrowed into slits and seemed to grow even shadow-y, if that was even possible, as she took in the sight of the approaching group. Her fists clenched in an attempt to quell the rising anger, the voice inside her whispering frantically Don’t act out... Look at Cameron and Matt, they are ready to fight you.. You’ll have your chance.. soon.. Sliding her eyes over to look at her comrades, they, those blackened eyes, immediately filled with disgust seeing them ready to intervene. Giving a small tsk of agitation, Dismay relaxed her stance ever-so-slightly. Keyword; ever-so-slightly. Training her hostile glare on the approaching crowd, Dismay merely gave a slight flicking motion with her tapered fingers. To anyone watching, it would have been a bewildering sight; a tiny circular shadow from a nearby tree had disconnected itself from the bulk and was currently snaking it’s way through the grass and between peoples feet at an alarming speed Finally, it paused at it’s summoner’s feet before slowly rising out of it’s 2D form and into one of a black cat. However, unlike real animals, it’s fur was pulsing and wavering like a shadow did. Giving a slight meow, it spiraled around Dismay’s body until it landed on her shoulder, rubbing it’s head against the girl lovingly before turning it’s glowing red eyes onto the approaching group. A slight smile made a rare appearance on villainess’s petal pink hued lips as a finger reached up to lovingly scratch the shadow cat’s head before she muttered ”Hey Jinxx, long time no see.”

Athena had been standing there with the group as they were talking about it all, she let Scott talk and she kept silent, this was a serious matter and it wasn't something she was going to joke around about, your whole alliance being wiped, besides a few fully trained people, was harsh, and it was one of the most serious things that's happened in her life time. After a bit she went and she got back to the room she had been occupying and she got changed out of her night wear. She pulled on some jeans quickly and found a dark blue long sleeve. Shortly she had braided her hair and she put on some converse and she came running out catching up with the rest of the Heroes.

When she was running up she had noticed something and she saw another group and after looking a bit she noted who they were she took a big breath in. Looked like they weren't the only ones out here tonight. She ran up beside Scott at the front and she knew he knew they were there. "So, do we speak with them?" She asked him quietly.

ImageAlisia did as Scott said, staying as close to Andrew as they left the headquarters. She had always made an effort not to come into the city. It was full of thoughts and emotions and crowds of people to make her headaches even worse than normal. She knew she had to do this though. As a hero in training she had a duty to the city to make sure the citizens were okay.

She was distracted, trying to keep her concentration on Drew alone. It helped filter out the rest of the city, she almost didn't notice the group until they were right upon them. She wasn't sure what was going on, until she recognized Cameron. He didn't like her very much and she only knew him a little.

“Do we speak with them?” she heard Athena ask. She was sweet girl, another of the trained heroes.

'Stay close to me, I'll shield us if they fire so we can get away.' she thought it so the others could hear as well, but it was pointed mostly at her fellow mind link buddy. The privately to him

'This could be bad huh?'

She knew what his answer was going to be but it didn't help the unease in her stomach.

Sky loved the city. She lived for the vibrancy, the people and the many different cultures. When allowed to she would make trips into the city, dressed in civilian clothing, and spend as much time watching and talking people.
Now, though, Sky found the crowded streets almost overwhelming. The mood had shifted and the group of heroes walking down the street were all aware of the new danger that may have lurked around every corner.

Sky wasn't usually an impatient girl but today, as they had traveled into the city, she had just been itching to teleport into the city and begin to explore. She had held back though, wanting to stick with the group.

Sky followed behind Scott, her eyes scanning the crowds and buildings. She was hoping to find some clue, maybe even a marker from another hero. But there was nothing.
Then Sky heard Scott swearing, something that brought Sky's attention back to their immediate surroundings. She followed his line of sight and spotted the group opposite them.

Even if Sky hadn't recognised Xeno or some of the others she would have known them for villains. Cameron had a flame burning in his hand and the blue haired girl, Dismay, was starring daggers at the group while patting a shadow cat.

Sky glanced from the group of villains back to Scott and Athena. They were the two trained heroes, she would let them lead the group. Her curiousity peaked as she looked the group over. Apart from two of the members they were all trainees, did that mean that they had also been affected by the disappearance. Or perhaps they were the cause and had come to pick off any remaining heroes?

"'Stay close to me, I'll shield us if they fire so we can get away." Alisia's voice echoed through Sky's head and she nodded in reply, her mouth set in a determined line.

Athena managed to catch up with them. Scott didn't dare allow his eyes to flicker from the villains, even as she spoke. "So, do we speak with them?" He thought for a moment or two. He almost wanted to allow them to make the first move, to ensure that they wouldn't attack. But, then again, time could be of the essence. He was about to suggest speaking.

And then he saw her. He was pretty sure that his jaw dropped, but through some miracle, his mouth didn't open. She was with the villains.

"Hello Scottie. It's been a long time since I've seen you. What brings you here?"

Be cool. Don't act like the spell bound fool you naturally are. Don't stare. Do not stare.

"Same thing as you, I suppose." He spoke with caution, watching the villains that surrounded her. One held a fire ball, looking ready to throw it. One was petting a cat that looked almost like it was made from shadows. The powers of the rest were more difficult to guess.

He suppose that something in the back of his mind had known that there was something special about her. The same voice spoke up when he passed a teenage super that hadn't yet been picked up in the street. But it had been confused by the feelings he had for her, and he'd been thrown off the scent.

"I notice you're a little down on numbers." He called, starting to walk towards the other team. He put his closed fist up behind his back, telling his team to stay exactly where they were. Best to minimize the damage as much as possible.

He stopped about halfway between the two teams. He was aware of exactly how unprotected he was. They could attack him and he wouldn't be able to do much about it. But the thing was, his heroes would have time to react and defend themselves. He had trained them from their early teenage years, from when he'd barely been qualified himself, and was immensely proud of the reflexes they'd developed.

He was also regretting not getting a gun before he left. Sure, Helena was there, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try and take down a few heroes if he needed to. His mind was his only defense, and he could only hold an illusion that caused pain for so long.

Just because she was there didn't mean he was letting his guard down.

"We won't attack if you won't."

Image


There was a moment of complete tension when the two sides simply sized each other up. Cameron caught more than one hero glancing wearily at his fireball and grinned.

Helena was the first to speak.

"Hello Scottie. It's been a long time since I've seen you. What brings you here?"

Cameron raised an eyebrow. It was a little too familiar for his taste, and he narrowed his eyes as the other hero replied, commenting on their lack of numbers. He didn't look particularly powerful, and his power wasn't one that was immediately obvious. That didn't mean that he wasn't dangerous.

It was often the most unsuspecting super that was the most dangerous. Dismay was a perfect example of that.

He took a few steps away from her and closer to the heroes, even though Scottie promised not to attack.

At that exact point, Xeno chose to go over and pet Dismay's cat. Knowing that he would keep her calm if necessary, Cameron fully moved away from her, closer to Helena. If he'd been taught one thing, it was to never trust the other side.

Image


The exchange between Helena and the male mentor made Matt feel uncomfortable. It wasn't because he was a hero. It was the flurry of images that attacked his senses, making him stumble backwards. They were too confusing for now, and he stored them in his memory for later viewing.

Matt put his hand to his belt, thankful that he had remembered to arm himself before leaving the house this morning. A knife lay close to his left hand and a gun he'd rescued from a dead police officer lay beside his right. He hadn't killed the officer, simply been there to judge if it had been from the same culprit as the murders of the other villains. He had an inkling that it wasn't, but nobody had noticed the absence of the gun, so it was all good.

He felt the all too familiar coldness engulf his body. If anything happened to Lena, he would make sure as many of these heroes were brought down. Preferably by his own hand. Although he wouldn't hold Dismay back either.

As the male hero stopped walking, Matt found it difficult not to draw his gun. Xeno went to Dismay, making sure she wouldn't attack, and Matt walked towards Lena. When he reached her, he simply stood beside her for a moment, before putting his hand on her shoulder.

"It's up to you. Either way, I've got your back." He knew she wouldn't like what he saw in his eyes, but it was completely her decision.

No one had really commented back on what Athena asked, not even Scott. Soon though one of the mentors of the villains did speak, and she watched how Scott reacted to her, and she looked back to the other girl and knew there was something, especially since she knew his name, he had to know her from somewhere. Not sure how this could go, she walked up some so she could stand next to Scott.

By this point she had seen the rest of the villains in full view. Athena was one super, that wasn't the best in combat but when it came to speaking, Athena was golden. She's great with talking to people things and holding them in conversation as long as possible.

Athena didn't trust the villain, especially looking at some of them and knowing they had hatred in their eyes, almost like lasers were in their eyes and they were trying to burn them all down. Athena never understood the big wedge between the two supers. Well she did to an extent, but why was there so much hatred, is what she didn't understand. The lot of them were so much alike but they were just divided, but there's always good and bad in the world.

"we wont attack if you wont." Scott had said and all Athena could do was nod her head in agreeing with him.

(Sorry for the short post, not much interaction with her. it'll get better, I promise.)

Scott's nonchalance deterred Helena, though she knew she shouldn't have expected anything less. They were amongst their own kind, past relations were to be swept under the rug. She didn't like the way he approached her or her family, the way he sized them up as if they were animals. Anger flared through her as he took in their lack of numbers. A brief glance in his group's direction allowed her to respond in kind. She heard Dismay's threat and her jaw clenched. It wasn't sitting right with Helena that her rage nearly matched that of the maniacal teen. When Xeno stepped up to distract the shadow maker, it did nothing to soothe Helena's anxiety. This could go fifty different ways. If either team moved to attack first, someone was bound to get hurt. Helena had too much on the line to risk an attack. Too many people she cared about stood on the threshold of their rivalry, too many lives hanging in the balance. She froze, letting Scott scope her out—so to speak—all the while keeping her eyes trained hard on the young hero.

"We won't attack if you won't."

The moment those words left Scott's lips, Helena envied the heedlessness of a villain. Any normal villain would've jumped at that threat, taken out at least two of the opposing side. Her whole body tensed at the thought of her humanity being a weakness, an endangerment to her loved ones.

"It's up to you. Either way, I've got your back." The feeling of Matt's hand on her shoulder sent a wave of calm crashing against her. That is, until she glanced back into his eyes. For the first time in a long time, Matt was questioning her. Since they became partners, he'd always trusted her judgement. Now, just at the mention of this heroes name, a portion of that trust had been lost. Maybe not lost completely but it was definitely derailed. That look sent a surge of panic through her that she almost couldn't hide. She turned her gaze on the other trainer, a female who stood by Scott, and narrowed her eyes.

"Don't even try negotiating with me." The tone in her voice was almost frightening. She'd never heard herself speak like that before. "Here's the deal, Scott. We won't attack." Helena glanced back to see her clever boy smirk and her own lips rose in a cynical, crooked half-smile. "Don't flatter yourself, love." Her gaze scanned every face with heavy speculation, "You lot simply aren't worth our time. Now," Helena's eyes were trained on solely Scott now, encroaching on his space. Her voice was low, stern, harsh and her demeanor even more so. She sized herself up to intimidate, and by the look on their faces, it was working. "Let's save the turf war for later, shall we? You have a job to do, I imagine. Civilians to look after? It might be in your best interest if you worried more about them than us. Unfortunately for you, you caught me on a really bad day."

"Well in case you haven't noticed by our numbers, but we've had a pretty shite day as well." Helena nearly broke her cold facade as Andrew stepped forward, brushing past Scott and getting in her face. She could feel Matt and Cameron tense behind her as he stood barely an inch from her, glowering at her as he got right in her face. She called the off with a slight wave of her hand, looking up at her clever boy with an amused glint in her eyes that didn't match her aggravated expression. "So if you want to tell us what you're doing out here we'll consider letting you and your little cronies go free."

She scoffed, nearly laughing, "Big talk for a Hero." Helena glanced down to his chest and flared her fingers apart, pushing her hand into his chest cavity. His team moved in to protect him as he gave a small, gurgled cry but her team's reaction ceased an immediate defense by the Heroes. "Stand down all of you!" She ordered, and both teams seemed to freeze as Andrew let out a startled cry of pain. Helena glanced up, smirking a bit as she plastered a sinister look of glee on her face. "You feel that? That's my hand grabbing hold of your heart. Now...you're going to take your friends and your little trainer cronies and you lot are going to get lost. Do you understand? So piss off." Helena aimed her last statement towards the two trainers, her eyes bearing a threat that needn't any words. Then she turned her attention on Andrew, savoring the look of confusion in his topaz eyes. She stood on her tip toes, her lips brushing up against his ear as she whispered, "Do you understand, Andrew? I'm telling you to run. Run, you clever boy...and remember me."

Helena pulled her hand out of his chest and sent one last tormenting stare towards their leader before turning on her heels, ushering her family to follow.

Lara stood back from the group, observing all this from a far. It seemed that Helena and Scott, whom Lara had met a couple times before, were the ones who were the acting leaders now for each group. Being that the villains and heroes were usually enemies it seemed that they had decided on talking a compromise out. Cameron and Matt both walked over to Helena, apparently they were taking on the roles of body guards for Helena. There was also a girl, Lara only knew a little about her that she could persuade people, who walked up beside Scott. Though it seemed she was the acting body guard for Scott, she didn't really seem the part all that much, but then again knowing her power Lara knew that she didn't have to be what you would call a normal body guard. As Lara continued to watch it almost seemed like a battle ground, even with the by-standers walking past them. They both had leaders and those who would protect the leader at all cost; then looking to Dismay, those who would seek to overthrow the leader. This was unfolding like some of the dramas that Lara had read from Shakespeare's plays. But what role would the others take on? What role would she end up being?

Xeno had distracted Dismay with some tea, Lara couldn't help but think at how frivolous that was to loose focus of the situation just because someone had waved some leaves in front of your face. Though Lara was glad that Xeno had distracted her, before she could make the situation worse. Lara looked back to the heroes. It was odd, to say the least, that there would be a group of heroes about as big as their group wandering the city at the same time as they were. The thing that Matt had mentioned earlier about the thing that had attacked being non-discriminatory, it must be true. She wasn't sure at first because most people do tend to support the heroes more, but this thing wanted them all dead. But why? Lara thought to herself, Is it because we all have powers? Did this person get hurt by someone with a power and now feels the need to make the world safe from those who do? Or is it because another reason? Something deeper than that, something worse. Maybe they are trying to build a machine to give everyone powers, but they need a certain amount of DNA from each person to understand how it works? She brought her thumb to her lips, almost as if she were going to start biting her thumb nail, but it just stayed where it was resting on her bottom lip. For those who know her, they would know that she was deep in thought or that something very serious was on her mind. The letter! She thought, her eyes not really focusing on anything, but looking to the top of the buildings, We got a letter, the person who wrote it says they have powers as well. But then why do they want to kill others like themself? That doesn't make any sense. I wonder if the heroes got a message as well. If we could study both of them together, looking at the handwriting and what it says, we could possibly deduct a little bit more about who this person is and why they want to kill us.

Lara stopped and looked directly at Scott, she had formulated a plan, and though it was dangerous especially with Dismay being who she is, it was the only logical plan thus far. After they find a secret base of course. She walked towards Scott, passed Helena, Matt, and Cameron. She could feel everyone tense as she wasn't in the leader role and yet acting like it. She walked the short distance till she stood in front of Scott, in the middle of where both groups stood.

"Did you get a message from the killer as well?" Lara asked, her voice was strong and unwavering and her eyes just as focused on the task at hand.

Athena watched the leader of the Villains, the female trainer, she studied her, she was the bitch from hell, so it seemed. Athena's eyes narrowed and she listened to her. Athena watched as she spoke, and the way she spoke was horrible. "Don't even try negotiating with me." "Wouldn't dream of negotiating with a Satan spawn." Athena said coldly. She was really getting pissed off and Athena was never one to back down, or stand there and say nothing, and she didn't care about holding back her thoughts. This girl just pissed her off.

Then came the moment, with Andrew, Andrew was being a hero that he was and he had gone up to talk to her, Athena didn't like the looks of it and she immediately came and put a shoulder on Andrew, Athena had always been trying to protect him, and he was someone she had been contacting with a lot.

Then that was when the trainer, Helena was getting very gutsy and told them to piss off, "Look, you guys approached us, and if you're going to harm us, then you can screw off, we already told you, we wont hurt any of you if you don't hurt anyone of us." She growled. Then she was trying to threaten Andrew, "Look, you don't need to be a pretentious bitch about." Athena, didn't control her mouth, she never did, and when you harmed her family she was going to say shit back.

Soon though Helena had turned on her heels and was ushering her villains to follow her. At that point, Athena led Andrew back to the group and she kept a hand on his shoulder. "You alright, Andrew?" She asked softly, hoping he was okay, she was still absolutely pissed but she was keeping a cool surface at this point like she needed to. Athena looked over at Scott, giving him a nod for them to head another way.

Alisia yelped as she felt the pain rip Andrew. Immediately she shoved her consciousness into his, trying to take some of the pain onto herself. Not a lot, she knew Andrew wasn't a baby, but she didn't want him to hurt if she could help him. She didn't like the way that girl was around Andrew, like she felt he belonged to her.

'Are you okay,' she asked him softly. She didn't want to pester him too much with her worry. She felt rage, and for a moment she worried it was her own. She wasn't sure, there was such a full rainbow of emotions right now. She quickly put a shield up around Helena's 'Clever Boy,' so she couldn't hurt him again.

She just wanted desperately for them to go away. They had lost enough today, they didn't need to spend their time fighting with the villain trainees.

'Do you know that girl Drew? There is so much rage boiling underneath her, I don't think I like her.”
She heard Lara ask about the note, with a deep breath she spoke aloud in her very soft, quiet voice.

"We did," it was short and sweet and to the point. She wasn't even sure if she should be telling anyone, but if there was a chance they could all just work together that would make things easier. Maybe.

It had all happened so fast. Scott had taken the initiative to set up some kind of negotiation, but the girl with the ruby lips had other plans. Andrew watched as she spoke, watched her demeanor and the way her lips moved. She seemed to be from his neck of the woods, judging by her accent. Correct him if he was being too finicky but there just wasn't something right about the way she spoke—as if it were forced. There're a lot of things you can do with a British accent, but putting up a good front wasn't one of them. The others, however, didn't seem to catch the drift. He could feel the hate radiating off of every one of his teammates. It was misguided, in his opinion, though he couldn't blame them. The way that woman looked at the man whom had his hand on her shoulder.... In that one millisecond, he saw right through her. She'd panicked. And when the word 'attack' finally sunk in, Andrew could see an overprotective shroud drown those pretty little eyes.

Andrew winced as Athena snapped back at the woman's resolve, analyzing her features as she paid no heed to her. He wouldn't readily admit it to his fellow supers but he was impressed. Not many women could just take insults hurled at them like that and not react in the slightest. It didn't throw her off her course at all. She went on, articulating with a voice laden in vicious promise that no harm would come to her team on her watch. Andrew could relate to such sentimental compassion, and he hated that his teammates were downright despising her. They would see all of the signs if they would just look at what was around them. The girl with the ethereal cat, the naive boy distracting her with tea bags—all of that was a ploy to keep the real threat at bay. He'd seen the way that blue-haired girl looked at them, and it was nothing compared to the look this ruby-lipped woman was giving them. The boy with the fireball, the tousled haired gentleman—both were there to prevent a fight from ensuing, keeping the shadow maker at bay. But it was the female trainer that spoke up, simply because she was asked. Andrew wasn't an idiot, nor was he deaf. The male trainer had called out "Lena" and there she came.

So this Lena girl stood in front of her villains, preventing any casualties, all of them surrounding the one villain that would actually cause harm without any prodding. If you asked him, Andrew would tell you that this 'tough villainess' act this Lena was pulling was only just. It was an act. He could tell by Scott's surprise that this woman wasn't one to act like this, and he could tell by her demeanor. Call it a perk from having a power dealing with the inner workings of the mind. Or call it the aftermath of watching too many crime show dramas on day time television. Either way, she was bluffing—lying through her teeth to protect her villains before that one flew off the handle. Because, honestly, who wouldn't take one look at her and tell beyond a fathom of a doubt that the girl despised Heroes? Nobody, that's who.

So Andrew got in Lena's face. It was his plan, albeit not a great one, but he had to figure this one out. "Well in case you haven't noticed by our numbers, we've had a pretty shite day as well. So if you want to tell us what you're doing out here we'll consider letting you and your little cronies go free." Andrew got a good look into her eyes before she shoved her hand inside of his chest, and it was an emotion he couldn't quite place.

Andrew was not cocky, by any means. He was about as threatening as a pink butterfly. He also didn't have a very high pain tolerance. So when Lena's hand slipped into his chest, yes, there was a first initial ripple of pain. Andrew felt Alisia's threshold on his mind oppressing his, trying to stifle some of it away. But, for some reason, he pushed her out. One look in Lena's eyes and he'd put up a wall between him and Ali. He'd never done that before, and honestly he doubted if Ali even caught on. Everyone tense around them, and Lena shouted for them to get back as Andrew made an embarrassing, gurgling sound.

"You feel that? That's my hand grabbing hold of your heart."

Only he couldn't feel it. In fact, other than the first initial shock of pain, he hadn't felt anything at all. Andrew looked down at her arm, her hand buried wrist deep into his chest cavity, her words only muffles as he tried to rationalize it. Why couldn't he feel it? Lena had everyone else convinced he was in so much pain and yet there he stood trying to put the pieces together. It wasn't like she'd numbed the pain, he couldn't feel her hand at all. Like it wasn't even there. Their eyes met one last time before Lena closed the distance between them, her lips brushing up against his ear.

"Do you understand, Andrew? I'm telling you to run. Run, you clever boy...and remember me."

There was no emptiness as she pulled away, no pain, no hollow feeling. He felt just as he'd ever felt before only now he was awestruck. How had she known his name and what had she meant? Why couldn't he feel her hand when she had everyone else convinced that she was causing him harm? As he watched Lena walk away, his gaze steady followed. The barrier in his mind came crumbling down and Ali's redundant wall of protection went up. His mind was flooded with Ali's concern, asking if he was alright. But it was Athena that snapped him out of his reverie, with just a gentle touch on his shoulder.

"You alright, Andrew?"

At first, he didn't respond. He only watched as the girl dematerialized into the adjacent building, literally fazing through the brick like some ghost. Once she was out of sight, he saw the male trainer take charge of the villains before glancing down at the super in his charge. He exhaled confidently, reassuring her with a simple, "Yeah, I'm alright."

No doubt he'd be pestered more about what had happened later.

Lara looked to the girl who spoke and nodded once. She then looked to the rest of the villains who were already walking away.

Her brain was working constantly in that moment, never breaking its thought pattern. She walked back to the rest of the villains. Lara knew she needed to look at that letter again and even get her hands on the one that the heroes got so she could compare the wording in both letters as well as the handwriting. The more she thought about it the more she knew that it might also help to look at what kind of paper it was written on. She wouldn't get a lot of information from the latter, but it might help, just maybe she might be able to figure something out from it. If it was written on a newspaper that might mean that the killer would have circled an article or underlined a line in it giving them some clue, if it was written on printing paper that would mean that they got it at one of the computer stores in the city. Though she wasn't sure how she would be able to figure out which store they got the paper from and even from there so many people had a need for printing paper that it would nearly impossible to figure out who they were.

Lara let her brain take over as she kept walking, not realizing she was passing the rest of the villains to the front of the group. Then she heard a scream of pain, breaking her out of her thoughts. When she turned around she saw Helena with her hand in one of the heroes chest. Though it seemed like she was indeed grabbing his heart, for some reason Lara couldn't shake the feeling that something about this picture was off. Was Helena lying? Or was it just that Lara had never seen Helena act in such a violent way before? Either way the red head knew that Helena was making this situation worse. They had to work with the heroes not against them. She was about to go up to Helena to make her stop, but then she withdrew her hand and then began to walk past everyone. Lara was feeling that tensions were getting high and knew that something bad was going to happen if everyone didn't get a grip on their wildly running emotions.

Athena's angry and rage had calmed down, no one had been talking to her for her to have it fed and keep it going. She sighed with relief when she figured out Andrew was okay, and she couldn't help but feel all the attention was Helena. Helena this and Helena that, that's all most people seemed to care about by the looks of things. Athena was fairly good at reading people. Then she looked over at Scott.

He was concentrating on something and she knew at that moment he was using his illusions. He was letting his guard down by showing them his power. Athena sighed softly, it was alright she supposed. Athena watched as it continued and the villains some of them had stopped in their tracks others kept walking, Athena could think of possible scenarios that Scott was giving the illusion of, some might now care at all what he was doing.

Athena watched as soon he collapsed to the ground. He kept talking like he was trying to convince them. Athena knew it was no use, she would have tried herself, but she'd have to be constantly talking or slowly the effect would wear off and she knew that'd be a waste of energy that she had stored up. She went down to the ground and sat there and she let Scott rest parts of his shoulder and head in her lap, just so he wouldn't be laying there on the ground.

She also knew there was no use in trying to calm him at this point. Athena was waiting to see the next move of the villains and she was ready to protect who ever with her life if she had to. She wasn't even much of a close combat fighter but she would do it for her family. Especially Scott, he was the older brother she never had. She wasn't going to lose him like she lost her actual brother. Athena was still studying them not sure at this point.

She rested a hand on his forehead, and she turned to the other heroes ,"Get behind me please." She said softly. She may have been a pain in the ass or she may be very out spoken at a lot of times, but Athena was very gentle and caring, which was something people always seemed to be shocked at whenever she was. It was just something that she did. She was almost like a mothering figure to her family known as the heroes sometimes.

Sky had watched the drama unfold. The words traded between the heroes and villains had shown that both sides weren't completely ready to work together to solve this mystery. Sky, standing back from the main confrontation, had watched anxiously as everything had happened. Every now and again her attention had been drawn to the people passing them by in the street. Most of them were giving the two groups a wide berth as they passed, especially Cameron with his flame and Dismay with her shadow cat. More than a few, however, had chosen to watch from a safe distance.

Sky ignored them as best she could, turning her attention towards Scott as he spoke,
"Don't move... Keep an eye out, talk to a few people, see if anything else strange has happened, but don't go too far. And don't come after me. Even if you hear me scream. If you hear me scream, you run as fast as you can."
With those ominous words Scott went after the heroes. Sky had turned away, preparing to follow his instructions, when she heard the sound of someone falling to the ground. Sky turned to see Scott collapsed. Athena ran towards him and knelt beside him.
"Get behind me please." She said to Sky and the others.

Skyla, glanced from Scott and Athena up to the villains. Knowing what Scott's powers were meant that Sky had some idea of what he had done to the villains. She waited and watched to see how they would react. Some were walking away.
Xeno had actually waved at Sky and the other heroes before turning to leave,
"It was nice meeting all of you. See you soon" He said as he left. Sky gave him a quick smile before turning her attention back to everyone else.
