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...

Images of a ruined city engulfed Dismay, the scent of singing bodies and rotting corpses attacking her senses. In a eye-wided stare, the young villainess took in the sight of crumbling buildings against an ashy red sky before those dark eyes landed on a new sight, a more gruesome one. In front of the teal-haired girl, a mere few feet away, were the soulless corpses of her fellow villains (as well as heroes), all strewn about and covered in crimson. Red.. its...blood! whispered the excited inner voice as the shadow manipulator gazed appreciatively at the chaotic hellish scene. A small fraction of her being knew it was wrong to become gleeful over the sight of destruction but those feelings of remorse were quickly overpowered by the emotion of lust for blood. A lust for revenge, a lust for death.

Within her black-hued orbs, Dismay knew excitement and sudden anticipation shone heavily yet clearly within them. And she didn’t bother to hide it. In fact, a look of disappointment flashed across her delicately carved features when Scott had fainted, taking away the beautiful scene with him. Biting her lower lip, eyes narrowing ever so slightly in annoyance due to the lack of time she was allotted for admiration, Dismay whispered softly to her teammates. Within the whisper, an pining want and a strange tone was present. ”Wouldn’t...that... be a shame.. if it came true..you know?”. It was an obvious lie, to Dismay it wouldn’t be a shame if the future turned out hellish; to her it would be fun.

It felt like he actually passed out for a second or two, before he felt Athena pulling him onto her lap. It was only when she put a hand on his forehead that he flinched. He realised what a stupid idea it had been. Both he and Athena were in a vulnerable position right now, and he didn't have the energy to defend either of them. He pulled away from her, unsteadily getting to his feet. His balance wasn't the best, but he wasn't going to let them abuse his weakness.

"The world will fall. We're the only things standing between it and destruction right now."

A shadow flickered in his vision. Well, not exactly a shadow, but something black and darting. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up straight. As he was about to say something, the male villain yelled out for them all to hit the ground. Moments later, gunfire filled the air, followed by an explosion of the building next to them. The gunfire didn't falter.

Adrenaline replaced the exhaustion, and Scott ran for his heroes. "GET DOWN!" He yelled. As he reached them, he grabbed their hands and crouched down, pulling them down with him.

"The moment the gunfire stops, scatter and regroup back at base. It's too dangerous for us to be out in the open right now." He hissed at them. "Act like frightened civilians wanting to get away from the explosion. Talk to as few people as possible."

As soon as the bullets relented, Scott was on his feet and moving, heading for the base. He didn't feel right, like something was about to go wrong. Or possibly that it already had. More than just the explosion and attack.

The illusion paralyzed Cameron, and he turned to face the male hero as soon as it was over. The effort of the illusion was evident, and Cameron turned away once again, allowing the words to swim over his head. It wasn't his choice whether they cooperated or not. Either way, he'd work with it.

Matt yelled out, and Cameron felt gunfire pierce the air. He swore to himself and ducked, making himself as small as he could and lighting a small fireball. A second or two after, an explosion shattered the air, the shockwave sending Cameron flying. Uninjured, he scrambled to his feet. As he did so, an arm wrapped itself around his chest, covering his mouth with a rag to stop him from screaming and the other injecting a needle into his arm. He instantly went limp and watched as the fireball in his hand extinguished itself, moments before he blacked out.

The whole thing happened in the space of thirty seconds after the explosion. He didn't think anyone had seen him or his attacker.

Image


A vision, from his own power, not the male hero's, swallowed Matt. Gun fire shattered the air around both the heroes and the villains, before an explosion detonated. With that, the vision ended.

"GET DOWN! NOW, RIGHT NOW!" He yelled. To their credit, most of the villains hit the ground. They'd seen how accurate his warnings were, a point which was emphasized by the gunfire that pierced the air. He was a little slow to hit the ground himself, and a bullet skimmed past his shoulder, grazing it. He grimaced as he flattened himself against the ground. He saw Cameron light up and counted the seconds. One. Two. Thr-

With a whoosh that almost sucked the air from his lungs, the building near all of them went up. The heroes were scattering. Matt's head shot up. Helena. Where was she, and was she in danger?

"Get back to the base. Split if you have to, but stay safe. Don't try any stupid crap. We're in enough danger as it is." He ordered, getting to his feet. He pulled out his fake police ID and used it to cut his way through the crowd.

As soon as he was clear, he broke into a sprint. He found her and grabbed her shoulders. "Helena. There was an incident. Gunfire and an explosion. We need to move." He took her hand with his uninjured arm.

The gunfire came out of nowhere. One moment the street had been normal, well relatively normal when two groups of super-powered people were involved, and the next an eruption of shots had fired out. Choas erupted. A nearby building was ripped to pieces as a violent explosion tore through it. Debris flew through the air, sending citizens screaming. Scott ran towards the group of heroes, any ill effects from using his power were now gone. He grabbed them all and pulled them to the ground,

"The moment the gunfire stops, scatter and regroup back at base. It's too dangerous for us to be out in the open right now... Act like frightened civilians wanting to get away from the explosion. Talk to as few people as possible."

Normal meant no teleportation. But Sky could teleport herself safely to the base in the blink of an eye. She could also, if she concentrated, no doubt teleport the others in turn. It would save a lot of trouble for them but would, no doubt, be noticed eventually.

Before she could voice her idea, a high pitched scream pierced through the noise. Sky's head turned and she pinpointed the source of the noise, a small girl trapped beneath a fallen stone. In the blink of an eye Sky had disappeared from beside her allies and reappeared by the screaming girl. Her hand clasped around the small girl's wrist and she gave her a reassuring smile. In the blink of an eye she and the girl were down the street, well out of the danger zone. The girl's screams stopped and her eyes widened in wonder.
"Are you alright?" Sky asked her, quickly looking her over for any injuries. There weren't any thankfully, other than minor scraps and bruises. Sky had to leave her there, worry for her friends growing. She let go of the girl and teleported back into the chaos.

In the middle of the street, amongst the running citizens, it was hard to find her teammates. Sky had just thought she had seen someone she recognised when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her. Before she could teleport away a needle was inserted into her arm and her world turned black.

Scott found himself at the base before he knew it, the usual security checks verifying his identity before he was allowed access. As soon as the green light flicked on, he heaved the door open and went straight to his room. Somewhere on his way back, he'd realised that he'd left his phone on the small bedside table. He was barely able to use the blasted thing. It was all words and even though the images made it easier, he still found it nearly impossible to use. He was able to answer a call and sometimes make one, but that was the extent of it.

He unlocked the screen and noticed a missed call. He couldn't exactly make out who it was from, and the adrenaline racing through his veins made the whole thing worse, completely eliminating the chances of him returning it. It didn't matter. If it was important, they'd call again.

He headed for the conference room, sinking into the chair at the head of the table. He was the first back, it seemed.

Matt gave a smile and a nod in greeting when Xeno and Dismay arrived. Lena stood up to give Xeno a hug, and Matt found himself watching Dismay. He tried giving her a small smile, but she didn't look at him.

It took Matt a second to realise when Lena turned to speak to him. "Where are they, Matt? Can you see them?" He sighed an closed his eyes. He could tap into his power at will, but preferred not to. It would be tricky trying too focus on just Lara and Cameron, but hey, if he accidentally saw a plot to assassinate the President, he could get himself some brownie points with the Secret Service.

His power kicked in immediately and he saw Cameron and Lara. At first glance they were unharmed. Then he saw the duct tape around Cameron's wrists and the fact that he was sopping wet. Cameron was petrified of water.The fear in Lara's eyes couldn't be denied either. It then hit him that they were being held captive. And then they dragged Cameron to his feet and out of the room.

He snapped back to reality, the pain in his arm returning in a rush. He made a quick decision on what to tell Lena.

"They're being held captive. I don't know where, I don't know why, I don't know by who."

She didn't need to know about how they were being treated. She would be troubled enough by the fact that they were being held captive. She didn't need to know anything more.

He was vaguely aware of others coming and going, but he was curled in a ball in his corner, trying desperately not to sob. He'd failed at trying not to hyperventilate, and he was just trying to regulate his breathing. He couldn't forget the feeling of not being able to breathe, of water all around him, of the knowledge that he was about to die...

His clothes were still wet and still cold and he was shivering desperately, longing for warmth and wishing his power would come back so he could dry himself off and get warm. The lights were on, so he could see, but he didn't care. He'd willingly give up his sight for warmth and dry clothes and safety.

After a while, his breathing regulated a little. He looked up, seeing a girl curled against the wall, like he had been- and still was. He didn't know if his voice would work, so he gave it a try.

"I see they didn't try drowning you." It was meant as a comment but almost came out as a little bitter. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that..." His teeth were chattering and so he gave up on speaking, instead deciding just to preserve as much of his body warmth as he could.
