*Species: Alice was born from an atlantean mother and a human father.
Powers:
1).shadow manipulation: Alice can control shadows even having them separate from the shadow itself ir give them an almost life like persona. They can form shields, blades etc. that are sharp enough to cut steel not only that but she is capable of taking control of an objects shadow and moving it as well as stopping it.
2).Shadow clone: she is able to make up to five duplicates of herself or of something else from her shadow. They can only live for so long away from its original source so they tend to stay within a 3mile radius of her. Alice is unable to hold up the shadow clones for very long and they tend to do as they please unless told otherwise. The longest she can use this ability is 2hrs max since it has a high toll on her energy.
3).Shadow dimension: Alice is capable of traveling to a second parallel universe via through shadows. It’s a great way to travel without all the hassle so long as there is a shadow large enough for her to fit through including her own shadow though it was proven to be rather difficult. But beware if she takes you with her or your able to travel via shadows as well then you’re in trouble especially if you’re not a necromancer. For in her shadow dimension are shadow creatures that protect her mind from intruders, acting as gate keepers.
General Skills:
she is an expert martial artist often besting the Titans easily but not if they take her on simultaneously. Alice is multi-lingual and owns a coffee shop in Jump City. being half atlantean her mother taught her some of their ancient magic but she doesn't know much about it so she rarely uses it. Alice has superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes/reactions, coordination, balance, endurance and superhuman senses, her strength is above that of a normal human being. capaple of lifting objects 9times her weight with very little effort but she cant do this constantly as it does become tiring.her body is made to last a long time doing small feats which cause most to question whether or not she is even remotely human,especially her durabilty.where as a normal human would die if a someone with super strenght was to hit them but for Alice she can withstand most blows without flinching though this doesnt happen often since she usually just dodges an attack.its not very clear as to how large her limits are since she never really tested them before. all this is due to her being part atlantean as well as being at peak hunan capabilities as well as in atlantean standards. she can also breathe underwater and like most atlanteans can withstand water pressure to some extent and is a very fast swimmer.
*Arch Nemesis: the Titans and Ace

History

Family: she has none that she knows of.
History: Alice has awakened not too long after the Titans were formed.
Other: “Titans! GO die in hell! You left me to die!”

So begins...

(Guess who was feeling good enough to post today! :D)


Melanie survayed the situation and suddenly an alarm rung in her brilliant, computer mind. The bombs. All this commotion could easily set them off, crushing everyone inside. She silently thanked her team, cheering them on in her mind as she rushed to Judge Ramirez's side. He looked at her, terrified, confused and relieved at the same time, but his look of victory was soon smothered by the harsh glare she gave him. "Judge Ramirez, you are under arrest," she stated, cutting the ropes that had bound his body to the chair, "for, well, obvious reasons."

Melanie wrapped her arms around him in a position she had once seen in wrestling and launched herself through the hole in the roof White had made upon his arrival. Out on the streets a crowd had gathered, a police line drawn around the building and police desperately pushing people back. A gasp and a cheer arose from the crowd as she flew over the the man who semed to be directing the police. "Officer," Melanie said, depositing the passed out Judge Ramirez into the surprised man's arms, "This is Judge Ramirez, and this," Melanie placed a small drive into the man's hand, "is all the evidence, and more, you will need to convict and imprison him."

She turned her back the the stunned man and leapt into the air, hovering there over the crowd. Switching her voice speaks to their loudest she shouted, "Everyone get away from here! This entire building is rigged with explosives and it's dangerous!" The crowds who had, moments ago, been trying to push their way towards the building were now pushing people out of their way to get further away from the bomb threat. Melanie locked eyes with the commanding officer and he gave her a small, sharp nod before taking out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the stirring Judge, giving the signal for the other officers to flee.

Confident that the people would be safe, Melanie once again flew into the building and was treated to a sight that made her circuits surge. “I’m just gonna take… take five guys…” Aura slid down the wall she was leaning against, her eyes rolling in an effort to remain contious. A strange girl with a wicked smile was sneaking up behind Sprouse, a large black scythe raised for a death blow. "DON'T YOU TOUCH MY TEAM!" Melanie shouted, forgetting to change voice speakers. Suddenly she shot towards the girl and attempted to tackle her to the ground, but the moment Melanie hit her the thing vanished and Melanie inside went tumbling into a wall. Confused, Melanie figured it must have been an illusion of some sort and scanned the room while she grudgingly rubbed her head.

Melanie's eyes stopped on a small remote, identifying it as the detonator. In moments Melanie had snatched it up and darted to Aura's side. "Hang in there Aura," Melanie encouraged, "I have an idea but it's reckless so just hold on." This that Melanie stood bravely infront of her injured friend, her eyes scanning the room for a sign of the one who'd made the illusion and though she could sense a thermal impression, was unable to get an accurate reading. She ground her teeth in frustration. What was going on? Croutching down, Melanie touched an electrical outlit on the floor and sparks began to fly. Suddenly live wires burst from the ground under which they had been coiled and twitched, buzzing with electricity as they danced. This was a bit showy, true, but this action was more than just an attack.

Behind the scenes, however, something very different was happening. Carefully, Melanie was disabling the bombs. Her calculating mind was whirling as she kept up with all aspects of the battle. She feared that they make go of, taking her team and the building down too, which she couldn't have happening. But if she made even a single slip up... it could mean the death of everyone in the room. On the ouside she was putting on a show as a distraction, an attack ment more to keep her opponet occupied than defeat them, though once the vicinity was safe she intented to do that too.

Alice

The moment the blast hit the clone, it was dispersed into mist almost. Black shadowy blobs splattered the floor and wiggled for a moment until they got back to Sprouses shadow. But almost as soon as the blast of air hit the clone, that girl (Melanie) from before attempted to tackle the clone. Only to meet nothing but air, crashing into the wall behind the clone. idiot, let her think she destroyed it. Then maybe if she had been faster maybe that blast of air could have harmed her instead of my clone. Oh well I need to get rid of her, she’s an annoying little pest. Alice smirked behind her mask, but soon frowned with interest at what the girl(Melanie) did next.

Suddenly wires burst from the ground around them, this caused the Sprouses shadow to shift on the surface and Alice was forced to let go least she broke her wrist. However something else caught her attention, a presence very similar to her own. Raising a brow in curiosity, Alice traveled to someplace else after locating that which she sought. Alice looked up at this person, black shadowy wings sprouted from his back and she smiled with admiration. so the kid has some skill, to make those wings and to fly too, interesting

Alice bored of watching the kid watch the scene within the courthouse left his shadow for someone else’s. Raising her hands in almost like she was pulling puppet strings; she moved the girls (Melanie) shadow to her liking. This would force the girl to move but not on her own but by Alice, she would be her puppet and Alice was going to have fun. Alice moved her hands towards the fellow (Sporuse) she had been fighting earlier, making it so the girl would begin to attack when she reached him.

It actually happened fairly quickly, so Sprouse was almost unsure as to what had even happened. He delivered a clean kick to the face of his opponent and watched it connect, but didn't feel it connect. This must have just been him, since the girl had reacted to the kick, falling back into a weird substance, then... reforming back into the woman, who stood in an odd manner, giving a disturbing grin Sprouse's way.

“at least you hit her, I’ll give you that much but it doesn’t really matter now does it hmm” came a voice from.... behind him suddenly, showing a tone not unlike his - playful. Immediately after, he could feel a cold and stern grip on his ankle, tugging and removing what balance he had left, sending him to the ground. This wouldn't have been much of a problem, and wasn't, until he glanced up, noticing a menacing figure with a scythe standing just above him, ready to swing when.....

It exploded.

Well, not really.

It was hit by a strong gust of wind that originated from one of his 'teammates', Aurora. She showed signs of severe exhaustion as soon as she had finished the save, leaning against a wall as a support and then slowly sliding down it. Sprouse then did something many wouldn't really believe he'd do, but in only a whisper to himself. "Thanks." He was glad to have backup at that point, since he wasn't sure himself if he could've Stepped out of that in time. He wouldn't fall for the same trick twice however. Just for once, he would have to admit to himself he needed a friend there, and was beginning to feel happy he did.... until a rather abrupt scene in the form of a fail by the very girl who asked for their help happened.

He watched her, and simply sighed. "The wall isn't our enemy..." he muttered. Pretty soon, however, Melanie started up an odd action as wires burst fourth from the ground and Sprouse could even see some of the bolts coming from the wires.

They actually looked appetizing.

And then he noticed Melanie approaching him. Smiling, he said, "Had enough fun ramming into walls? You shouldn't hurt your pretty face like that, or you'll have no date for the proms." he chuckled, unaware of the threat.

"The wall isn't our enemy..." Sprouse said, sarcasm dripping from his word and Melanie huffed slightly, rolling her eyes at his words. But instead of replying she took a glance around the room, survaying the situation. The girl who had been attacking moments ago seem to have all but vanished, though that didn't make any sense. Melanie had caught a trace of her heat signature, but couldn't detect her anymore.

It was almost as if she'd just melted into... the...

Shadows!

Melanie switched her vision again to trace the light waves in the room and, sure enough, there were traces of disturbances between the waves, meaning that somehow the girl had managed to interrupt them. And possibly even control them. Her mind reeled at this realization. She didn't know exactly how the girl could do it, but she must have created a doupleganger out of the shadows. That would explain how the thing vanished.

'But wait! If she can control shadows, then that means-' Melanie whirled around but it was too late. She felt her body stiffen and felt a surge of panic run through her circuits. This was bad. Very bad.

As her body became to move on it's own, Melanie realized she was heading straight for (abeit slowly) for Sprouse. 'Then she intends to make me fight him!' Melanie concluded in discust, 'But at least it seems like she only has possession of my movements, not my actual body. Otherwise it would be a lot more dangerous than the situation already is.'

"Had enough fun ramming into walls? You shouldn't hurt your pretty face like that, or you'll have no date for the proms." Sprouse chuckled, blissfuly unaware of what was actually going on as Melanie shambled towards him. 'Not exactly my main concern,' Melanie thought, but held her tounge, instead saying, "Sprouse, this isn't a joke! She has control of my shadow! I'm not entirely sure how she does it but she can take over you shadow and control your movements with it!"

Melanie tried to fight her movements but she didn't have any control over her motions. Thinking quickly she developed a plan, but it would only work if her companion could bring himself to comply. "Listen, Sprouse, I know this is going to sound crazy but I need you to trust me." Seeing his confused looked Melanie took a deep breath, then looked at him, extremely serious. "I need you to break my neck."

"Sprouse, this isn't a joke! She has control of my shadow! I'm not entirely sure how she does it but she can take over you shadow and control your movements with it!"

Giving a small nod and closing his eyes briefly, Sprouse said, with a heavy lack of any seriousness in his voice, "You know, there's better excuses to give if you're trying to get close to me." He then opened them, grinning like usual, unaware and unbelieving of the situation. It seemed he thought she was just trying to play a joke on him, because magic involving shadows was only something Shikamaru Raven was really ever capable, or so he thought. So, he was NOT taking this seriously, which was probably (actually) fairly foolish of him.

Her next words only further 'proved his point'.

"Listen, Sprouse, I know this is going to sound crazy but I need you to trust me." Sprouse raised an eyebrow. 'If she asks me to kiss her...' "I need you to break my neck." she asked of him with not a slip of the lip or anything to show she wasn't serious. It was odd.

wat...Did NOT see that one coming. Touche, Melanie. Touche.

"What?" he suddenly dropped his smile. "You know, you're taking this a little too far. We got shit to do, come on and stop it."

I’m getting really sick of your shit, Stamina. REALLY GOD DAMN SICK!

Aura let out a groan. The world was blurring together, to form a pallet of colors and blobs. Every once in a while, things would focus back together, and Aura thought her strength was building back up. Then she was plunged back into Swirlylandia. Aura raised her shaking hands to her eyes and rubbed them repeatedly, but to no avail. “God damnit!” She cursed loudly slamming her fists down in frustration. She was so fatigued. So tired. So… hungry. “Just if I hadn’t skipped lunch yesterday!” She grumbled. She hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast yesterday. Her sudden hunger crashed into her like a train. The shaking of her hands spread to her arms then the rest of her body, until she was shivering violently. Aura’s consciousness was slipping away again.

“N,n,n,n,n,n,oooooo. You are walking away from this one Missy. Get your lazy ass off the ground and get going!” Now she was talking to herself. Bad sign. So, Aura started to push herself upwards with her hands, her legs slowly unfolding from beneath her body. She managed to stand up, but the king of Swirlylandia was a persistent little bugger. Every time she moved her head, it was like looking through a kaleidoscope. The colors and patterns moved around, changing constantly. One hand remained on the wall to give her balance. Aura lifted her foot, and took a tentative step. Her knee buckled and Aura stumbled forwards, only to land flat on her stomach. Aura managed to wiggle back into a sitting position. “Seriously!?” Her breathing quickened and she looked around again, everything was still kaleidoscope-y.

"I need you to break my neck." Aura’s head snapped up as she heard Melanie say this. The first word that came into her head was Defuq?

"You know, you're taking this a little too far. We got shit to do, come on and stop it." Something was going on with Melanie. She had lost control of her movements. Aura narrowed her eyes, naming blob one Melanie, and blob two Sprouse, whom she had asked to break her neck.

“She’s not kidding! Just do something to her so I can go get a fucking sandwich!” Aura blinked for a moment. Did I just say that..?

At the moment, Pulse found himself all tied up.

He was lying on the ground, struggling to free himself from his bonds after being knocked down, and falling down to his new level. \ While rolling around in the rubble, the rest of the Titans had put up a good fight, Aura had burned some rather important looking documents, a freaky fish lady had appeared, and the gang was busy fighting shadows and punching walls.

All the while he futilely picked away at the cord holding him back. Then, he realized that didn't matter. He didn't need his hands.

He say upright, and jumped to his feet. His three Didgeridoos circled him, then as two flipped to his back, the third one came to up to his face. His first order of business was to regroup, then attack from there. Next on the list was going to be long range bombardment. Large Area of effect, large blast. What he heard next was rather confusing though.

"I need you to break my neck."

Wow, earth culture was weird, but she didn't seem to be any more normal than the rest of them. What could possibly go wrong. Aura, didn't have a face that agreed with the idea on either.

"You know, you're taking this a little too far. We got shit to do, come on and stop it." What were they talking about, and if it was a good idea, why were they hesitating?

"Enough of you're tales mateys, NOW IS THE TIME, FOR ACTION!"
Pulse propelled himself towards Melanie, his hands reaching for her head as he had his face to the sky. When his hands hit her head, he latched on, turned his face, and spun, the satisfying snap had done the deed, hopefully not to well. A drawback was that he spun past her, flying like a boomerang, and straight into the wall. Again, he was on the ground, just a little more hurt this time.

"Could ye be a dear an' free me from these here hellish binds anybody?"

Alice

Her face behind the mask was that of some surprise at what the girl said next. she’s pretty smart for a kid. She caught on pretty quick- she hadn’t expected her to do such a thing. An earsplitting headache came into fruition and it hurt like hell.

Holding her head in her hands, Alice let go of Melanie’s shadow but not without fulfilling one last thing before she was truly forced to do. She pulled her hands back hard, as if throwing an object and in turn Melanie was shoved forwards by an invisible force right at Sprouse if he didn’t get out of the way.

Alice let out a growl and glared at the Titans, she entered a different shadow but she was barely conscious at this point. The fact that she had control and was in the shadow made the pain all the more worse. Had she only been controlling it from a far and not from within it wouldn’t have been like this.

that’s what I get for underestimating them. Damn kids, better than I would have thought but that girl something’s not right about her. There’s no way she could have concluded such a thing without already knowing how things worked*hint*hint* especially considering we’ve never even met before. Alice trudged along her shadow dimension, the place was crumbling like it always was. And it was a mild comfort to be somewhere else and not in a person’s shadow

Melanie felt the sudden and uncomfortable twist in her neck as Pulse twisted her head around 180 degrees. There was a loud snap like the snap of a bone breaking (though it reality it was metal displacing with her "neck") and for a moment she was forced to stand like that in shock. Then suddenly it felt like the invisible strings had disattached and Melanie was pushed forward towards Sprouse. However, before she tackled him she manained to catch herself and landed instead on her knees.

Still staring at the wall behind her Melanie carefully took her head in her hands and twisted it, jerking it so the metal snapped back into place. Head back in it's place, Melanie rolled her head a little, relaxing again as the pressure was relieved. "Much obliged," she said, nodding at Pulse as she went over and cut the cords from around his wrists.

That done she turned to the rest of her team. "Now, all of you, get out of here! This place is about to go up in smoke!" Melanie cried, making a slashing motion with her arm. "Sprouse, get Aurora; I don't think she can walk on her own for the moment." Then, turning her back to her team she whipped out the device. 'The bombs are set to go off in two minutes...' glancing at her team mates as they scrambled to escape her eyes turned to Krotos.

If she left him here, he and his twisted sense of justice would be stopped. Permanently. But, looking at the boy, Melanie felt something inside of her settle into place which she hadn't registered before. Yes it would be easy to leave him here to die and not have to worry about trouble from him anymore but... that wasn't what a hero did. No matter how evil a villain was, she couldn't bring herself to simply let them die when she knew there was a way to save them. Reguardless of whether it meant having to face them again in the future.

Glancing at her wrist she could see the countdown.

One minute and thirty nine seconds until detonation.

Melanie lunged at Krotos.

His red eyes widened as he sensed her aura closer then it did a second before. 'She's fast..' A little fear creeped up on his spine but a small smiled pulled at his lips. His eyes gleamed with interest.

"I guess I'll take a chance.." Leaping down towards the battle, his shadows stretched to the walls. He turned to all of them, The good guys. Titans or they called themselves. They were strong, but he didnt say anything but stare. Slowly, he stretched himself into a shadow and started off once again. Where was that "alice."

He wanted to see her. Not only for any reason, but because she intrigued him. She was similar to him, and even if this "alice" was a "bad guy" it had its benefits..

Though as he treaded through the darkness, watching citizens pass by oblivious of his existence, he was curious. Were these titans more beneficial.. Or this shadow user. Oh it gave him a headache.. Slipping up the walls, he stopped at a balcony and the darkness formed him. His red eyes reappeared and he leaned against the railing.

With a bit of mirth, he sighed. He had no idea who he really was or what he was.. His only hope would be the titans..or that alice..

Krótos slammed into the new kid as hard as he possibly could. His arm extended, his lariat caught the man in a clothesline and drove him to the ground. His eyes rolled back in his head for a moment and he passed out. Krótos sighed and took the opportunity to toss one of his net balls at him. Sure enough, it bound his midsection up like a hand rolled burrito while still being roomy enough to breathe. Satisfied with his handiwork on that particular gadget, Krótos bent down for a moment, inspecting the kid. His body was stange. It was very sturdy, but felt... patchwork... at best. While his body was laced with seamless integrations of strange technology, it felt unwieldy. Krótos only chuckled. Who was he to question the stability of someone's body, after all, outside of his little sphere Ryan was blind to the whole world. Regardless, Krótos turned to face the group of fighters, but the sounds of their scuffle were obvious. It was at least three on one, and that was hardly fair, even if the opponent in question was as good as she was. From what Krótos could tell of her body when they'd locked for a split second, she was built well and her movements had very little extraneous movements in them. Krótos only sighed, it was his party but that newcomer with the staff had crashed it. Krótos walked over to some rubble and sat for a moment. Something wasn't right. He was the good guy here. He was the one on the side of justice, so why was there this... insecurity. Was he... wrong?

'We defend this place because there is still hope... If there is even a single person in this Jump City who is good, then it is worth saving... It is the hope that we bring that will cleanse this city, not fear... Love, guidance and protection will strengthen the good and clear out the corruption you speak of... More hatred will only bring more evil, and it is why the corruption remains... more hatred will only bring more evil... more hatred... more evil... You're unsatisfied...' That android's voice echoed through his head. Resulting in a single, unshakeable truth. 'She's right...' Krótos thought to himself. 'What happened to me? All these years, all my life, wasted for some cheap revenge? That's not what my family, my friends, the ones who were most precious to me would want.' Ryan thought hard, puzzling over where he went wrong, what he could have done differently. He couldn't come up with anything. Where had he gone so wrong? Killing innocent civilians? Isn't that what he hated more than anything? Didn't that make him who he was trying to defeat all these years?

Suddenly, there was an incredible disturbance in the ground. It felt like something was... wriggling. Krótos slammed his hand against the ground, forming vibrations that would tell him the state of things. Something was attached to his bombs, the one's he'd fitted with anti-tampering software. 'What the hell? Is it the android? That idiot! She's only making it worse. I have to stop it.' Standing and stowing his weapons as quickly as he could, Krótos stood and punched his way through the ground. It took a few strikes at first, but as he absorbed more and more impacts, his punches struck harder and harder. Finally he was through, and into the deep basement of the courthouse. Using what little time he had left, Krótos bounced around the hallways and pillars of the catacombs, collecting his six bombs and returning to the surface. However, just as he reached the courtroom, he heard a very odd conversation as he piled the bombs in a neat little pyramid.

"I need you to break my neck." The android's voice. An odd request but hardly life threatening.

"You know, you're taking this a little too far. We got shit to do, come on and stop it." Another voice, the second one that had appeared. He was rightly nervous, but he shouldn't have worried.

"Enough of your tales mateys. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION!" The fourth voice which had mistaken him for a woman and had been tied up recently, he must have woken up. His voice was followed by, what sounded like some sort of horn. It was loud, and slightly garish, but there was a strange beauty to its tone. Ryan had no idea how he was playing it without any hands though, as Krótos had bound them. That sound was followed once again by the boy's voice, "Could ye be a dear an' free me from these here hellish binds anybody?" The whole proceeding was strange, but weirder things had happened to Krótos before. Finally, the situation was coming to a close, and Krótos heard the android girl from before square up with him. Without warning, she charged. As she approached, Krótos raised his hands in an odd posture, one that seemed to say, "Wait! Let's just talk this out." However, she didn't seem to care and attacked Ryan. Sidestepping her was an easy matter, as well as deflecting her attacks so she wouldn't hurt herself. At that, Krótos took another quick leap and landed directly behind the small pile of bombs. "Stop! Just wait a second and listen to me. I need you all to get out of here. I know this is an odd request, but please, just leave. My powers are... very well suited for what's about to happen in thirty seconds." Krótos said, motioning to the small pile of bombs. "Evacuate everyone. I'm going to attempt to stop the explosion. If I live, you can take me in. A lifetime of repentance will serve me well. If not... at least no one else will get hurt. Please. I need you to trust me." Krótos said earnestly, looking directly at where he could feel the android was standing. Slowly, he reached up and took off his mask, revealing his handsome, though scarred face as well as his long hair and blinded eyes. He smiled, barely enough of a curl forming to turn up his lip, but it was there. "Please. Get out of here." Krótos pleaded.

As soon as she left, and everyone else was gone, Krótos replaced his mask and knelt down, placing his hands over the bombs. "Let's hope this works." Krótos said to himself. Krótos channelled every scrap, every ounce of power into his hands. Explosions were, after all, just a really big set of impacts gone horribly wrong. Maybe, just maybe, he could consolidate all that energy and force, and release it in a safe manner, as outright stopping it would be impossible... The hole in the ceiling! A perfect outlet! In a split second, Krótos pointed his left hand up into the sky, palm facing the heavens. Krótos was going to use his whole body as a tube and direct the blast out the hole in the ceiling. With seconds on the clock, Krótos closed his eyes and hoped for the best.

Outside, everything was quiet. Suddenly, a massive skyward pillar of flame, light, sound, and force erupted from the courthouse. The raw destructive might of six large explosives was channeled successfully inward and upward and was released without anymore structural damage to the building. Inside, an exhausted Krótos lay on the floor and covered in soot. He was completely drained, and just keeping his eyes open was hard, but he'd done it. Krótos had saved them all.

The Night Watcher watched what appeared to be signs of struggle inside the courthouse, there was clearly a battle going on inside. "Finally, I was wondering when this punk was gonna start defending himself, now if he would just blow the shit up, I can do what I came to do." The battle goes on for a few minutes, and then he sees the five people he watched enter individually earlier, leave as a group. As the group exited the police backed away form the building. "Finally it's gonna blow!" The Night Watcher thought preparing himself to manipulate the debris. Suddenly a pillar of fire erupted straight up out of the building creating a perfect circular hole about 6 feet in diameter. "DAMMIT! That's almost no debris." The Night Watcher said to himself as he took a deep breath. Outstretched his hand towards the debris and closed his eyes. The pillar of soot that was created when the material from the roof was vaporized by the heat of the explosion, moved abnormally following his command and stopped creating a cloud above ten officers, he was hoping to take care of at least thirty five today, but ya work with what ya got. He picked this particular group because even though there were larger groups, the Chief of Police was with this group, and The Night Watcher wanted him dead more than any other corrupt cop. He took another deep breath, this time holding it, his hand, which was at this point palm out towards the cloud, moved, his fingers now pointing downward at the police officers. The cloud lowered to them, particles of soot being forced into their lungs. For good measure The Night Watcher took his other hand waved a cross the scene slowly palm out towards the group of officers. This served to remove a some of the oxygen from the area, anyone who wasn't already choking would have only felt a little light headed but for the unfortunate ten that were targeted by The Night Watcher, they began to suffocate, the soot coated the alveoli in their lungs, blocking them from absorbing oxygen, unfortunately he could not coat them entirely, but the decreased oxygen in the atmosphere meant that their damaged lungs could not absorb enough oxygen. After a few minutes they all fell to the ground, clutching their throats, the paramedics on site tried and tried but could do nothing, the air they tried to pump into their lungs was resisted, but they couldn't find the blockages. The ten officers died, suffocated by the explosion in the courthouse.

The Night Watcher exhaled slowly and reached down to his PDA turning on the news channel. Larry Jenkins's face yet again appeared on the device "We have some breaking news from the courthouse. Only moments ago five teenagers left the building with Judge Ramirez and handed him over the Chief of police, with evidence of the Judge's misdeeds. The judge was then taken to an ambulance and treated for minor wounds. Then out of no where - " The scene cuts to an image of the courthouse with a whole in the roof. "An explosion. All of the force was directed straight up creating a magnificent pillar of fire." The shot returns to Larry Jenkins. "The smoke hung in the air for a moment and then it moved, as if by magic over a group of police officers, before descending down on them. I regret to inform you that ten officers, including the Chief of Police, died tonight in the explosion, as a result of the strange movements of the debris. At the moment we have no information on how it happened, or who these five teenagers are." The Night Watcher smiled as he switched off the device and smiled, Didn't get them all, but I can make this work. He thought to himself as he ran from roof top to roof top on his way back to his observatory.

Upon arriving he knew he needed to take credit for the Chief's death, so he records a voice message, using voice altering technology to keep his identity hidden, "I am the Night Watcher, I killed those police officer's and the Chief because they are a virus plaguing my city. The police are corrupt, the justice system is fucked up, and the criminals are taking advantage of it. No one here is safe, the ordinary person is left to fend for themselves, most of them are forced into working for the criminals or dying. Prostitution or your family starving because you have no money, what decision would you make? There is no choice for most of theses people, it is my job to eliminate the criminals, all of them. Your precious boys in blue are some of the biggest offenders, but they'd never arrest themselves so I guess I'll have to serve as judge, jury, and executioner. The other criminals, the lucky ones will be left unconscious for the few just cops to clean up. The worst offenders however, have no hope for rehabilitation and will be exterminated. My city will return to it's former glory, a safe place to run your business, and raise your family. You won't have to live in fear that the vermin and scum will fuck up this city anymore." He ended the recording, played it back to himself and then burned it on to five CDs. He went out and dropped one off anonymously to each news agency in town, ensuring he wasn't spotted by camera's or any other surveillance. His package included a note saying that message was to be played on the 10 o'clock news tonight.

After dropping off the package at the last news agency, The Night Watcher checked his phone, it was 7:38 pm, he had plenty of time to peruse the information he retrieved from the Titan database. He made his way to his computer, sitting down and accessing the program he wrote earlier checking the information it received, the primary function succeeded in retrieving information on Krótos, but the program was blocked before it was able to retrieve any other important information, The Night Watcher didn't expect perfection, the Titan database was bound to be well protected. He pulled up the information on Krótos, it contained only a couple files, the most promising a video clip of a masked man, threatening the "little titan", the Night Watcher thought it odd that he only referred to one person, but couldn't figure out what it meant. Once he had gathered all of the information he could on Krótos the Night Watcher began checking his security and surveillance systems, but it was a quiet evening, the criminals were apparently frightened by today's events at the courthouse. He switches to the news at 10, just in time to see mister Larry Jenkins yet again, this time on his television. "We have some alarming information, that the police would rather we not share, but I have decided to share it with you all anyway. Now I must warn you the tape I'm about to play contains strong language, please be advised that children should change the channel now." He said before playing the audio file. The Night Watcher heard the message he recorded earlier and smiled, now they knew who he was, and what he was willing to do. "I don't know what I'm gonna do about this Krótos person, but for now I'll let him do what he wants, and I'll stop him after I've taken care of more of the cities worst criminals. Just need to figure out my next target." He said to himself relaxing in his chair.
