More Meteor Showers Bring Even Stranger Powers. (O/A)

[mc2]

Dr. Berchant laughed at what the guard proposed, "Annabella has an amazingly high tolerance for what I say. I doubt what I said would work her up enough to have her begin to lose control of her powers."

Annie smirked, "But you're afraid enough of me to hide behind glass and a speaker."

"No," Dr. Berchant replied. "That is called sensibility. Don't think I don't know how much you hate me: which really does hurt me, you know Christian is so attached to me and you hate his own father. Tsk. You're so cruel."

Annie slammed her fist into the table and snapped, "You're a psychopath who's only raising him for an experiment. What do you want with my son?"

Dr. Berchant shrugged, "Just to see him grow up- see if he becomes as powerful as you. It is my little experiment, you're right. And of course, to raise a metahuman that is loyal to Daedalus."

Flashes of a shadowed man wearing dark clothing, a preist perhaps. Old worn down churches. Random people who have been given the message of her creator. And a name. Jordan Knightly. His face clear as day. Cold, dark and hateful. This is the man who had been pulling the strings. Fear. So strong it becomes real. Tansy's fear of loosing her mind. Of being insane, let him created her nightmare, locking her inside of herself. All this is revealed.

Shane internally beats himself up for assuming this guy was that gullible. He takes a different approach. The guard whom he consumed was also a tech guy. If something were to happen to the cameras in the interrogation rooms he'd be the one called.

Shane begins to let lose microscopic pieces of biomass to create the camera interference that puzzled Kodak the day before. It doesn't take long for a call to come in through his ear radio. A second guard comes in to relieve him so he may see to the problem.

"Sir, they're radioing me saying that the cameras are acting strange. Boss thinks the source is on your side of the glass. Jones here will watch Soulsmith while I check it out."

Shane steps out of the room and Jones takes his position hovering over Annie. He takes advantage of this by attempting to look down her blouse.

The third eye on Gidget's head snaps shut and disappears. The glow goes out of the two that belong to her. She can't believe it. Another person like Charles Ray. No, much worse. Charles Ray had sense. He may have been an egocentric p***k but he was sane. This guy is much more dangerous.

"Oh my God...you were created by fear particles. No, not quite. Something more sinister...you have to die."

Gidget moves clamps her hands around the thing's neck and starts to squeeze. It was too dangerous to simply lock away, it has to die.

"Ahh why'd you go and kill the mood?" Theonis sighed.

He took a deep breath."Her reason for going to Daedelus...and her reason for tearing it down. It made me want to help her do that. They....they have her son."

Trinity rubbed the back of her neck about killing the mood and sighed. She would admit she wanted to continue what they were doing earlier. Although she didn't receive any news reports she still needed to see if she could locate the girls before more people die. Perhaps old habits die hard, or perhaps they need to be broken.

"Her... son? The bastards, no wonder she is so determined." she thought a moment, "Who's the father I wonder....Shane?"



Meanwhile Amanda was up front in the lobby talking to Monica, the healer. She could be seen talking to her through a window that lead to the waiting room. Monica points out she needed to recover some before she could heal again and with a concerned look on her face Amanda wondered what to do and rubbed her head, worried.

"I can't believe you did that...! She needed...she needed help!" A small figure shouted, pouting angrily at the older individual on what he had boldly done the day before. How dare he knock his own younger brother out for not a single justyfiable reason! Dark orbs glared up at the older individual who was leading them somewhere to repay for his previous behavior, of course he wasn't told where. "...Orion--!"

"...quit whining." The covered red eye burned, burned like hell itself. A single red eyebrow flinching momentarily at the younger brothers whines. "You're being annoying, not only to me but to those around you." The stern voice spoke harshly to the young individual before the blood red eye looked at him, a single hand extending and grabbing the young boy's wrist as he dragged him into a building.

Apollo was unsure of how to react to such behavior, he sounded so mean yet he knew what he was saying was the truth. It was a moment before he heard the older brothers voice once more, "...we're here." The dark orbs went from the ground to the older brothers face, he wasn't looking at him but his gaze was more aimed towards a specific person who looked worried in a...waiting room? They were in a medical facility! "..." The child was clueless on how to react to such a behavior, to him it was a kind gesture but to Orion could it be a reason to get him to shut up? Either way, it was kind...right?

Gidget moves clamps her hands around the thing's neck and starts to squeeze. It was too dangerous to simply lock away, it has to die.

The human Tansy gasped for air. And the real Tansy cringed. She rushed forwards and placed her hands on Gigdet's shoulders. "Gigde, clam down!" The human's eyes rolled into the back of her head as her body slumped in the airs of the robotic woman. "Gigdet!"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Tansy's last shout finally reaches Gidget's ears. Her eyes widen with shock as she looks down at the thing in her hands laying limp. She drops Angel harshly, and stares dawn at her with spite. Gidget's readout shows weak vitals. It was still alive.

Tears well up in her eyes as she says, "This...thing...Angel, she was created by someone who can manifest fear. Someone worse than Charles Ray. She is the product of your worst fear Tansy. You were so scared about going insane and being trapped in the darkness you rose from...that he created the perfect prison for you."

She turns and looks at Tansy. She sniffs and huffs, allowing herself to feel the comfort of tears for the first time in over a decade. "She's his tether to you Tansy. She's too dangerous to just isolate and trap in your mind. She has to die for you to be free. It's the only way to be sure."  

[JewJewBeans]

Tansy paused Gigdet with a frown. "If... it's the only way." She nodded somewhat, unsure how she really felt about it. She turned away from them not sure she wanted to watch what was about to happen.

Amanda looked up and saw Orion and Apollo. She recognized them from their profiles among the new recruits she saw recently. She remembered Apollo being considered a healer.

"Um... excuse me but are you a healer?" she asked, her eyes directed to the boy.

Tansy paused Gigdet with a frown. "If... it's the only way." She nodded somewhat, unsure how she really felt about it. She turned away from them not sure she wanted to watch what was about to happen.

Gidget turns back to the fallen Angel and kneels over her. One quick hit to the throat will be enough to kill her. Gidget raises her hand to deliver the finishing blow. Then she doesn't move.

What Angel had said earlier was ringing in her head. She was no more alive than Gidget was in her shell. Gidget bites her bottom lip, question whether the desire to exist warranted death. She sighs and drops her hand. It may not warrant death, but she is still dangerous. She has to be contained.

Gidget grabs Angel left leg and stands. She drags her over to the door that leads to the darkness and opens it. There is still some light left from when it was willed by Tom. It is steadily dying out. Gidget picks up Angel by the shirt and looks at her one more time. Gidget brings her in close and whispers into her ear, "I hope you hear this. Enjoy what light you have left. Spend the rest of eternity in the darkness your master created."

Gidget throws Angel into the darkness and slams the door. Once more the third eye comes open in her forehead and brings her own eyes aglow. She grasps the door's frame and physically removes the door from the wall like it was nothing more than a painting. There is only a solid wall left behind. There is no longer a door to the darkness.

Gidget walks out of the cabin and destroys the door with her bare hands, punching holes into it and bending it until it snaps. She leaves the pieces out in the wilderness and returns to Tansy. The third eye disappears and once more Gidget is herself.

She smiles at her friend and asks, "How do you feel?"  

[JewJewBeans]

Tansy laughed softly. "Like myself..." She smiled brightly. "It's been a long time since I felt that way." She sighed as she rolled her neck and her shoulders, her wings stretching out before resting against her back once more. "Thank you." She nodded to Gigdet and the boy before her.

"Yes, of course," Dr. Berchant said to Shane, sighing. All this money Daedalus invested and they still have technical difficulties. A passing thought crossed his mind, maybe the interference was a metahuman, who knows who Annie might have teamed up with, however, he suppressed that thought. Annie wouldn't want to put any more people in danger than necessary, would she? She was practically indestructible, but few other metahumans were as well.

Annie meanwhile, despite her anger glanced at Jones hovering behind her. The pig, she thought sitting down as Jones made no secret of checking her out. She remained silent as she glared at Dr. Berchant, waiting for Shane to implement his plan.

Meanwhile, Dr. Berchant laughed, "Giving me the silent treatment, Annabella? Have you decided to give up your boyfriend in exchange for your son, yet? Or have you decided to do this the hard way and have us capture you. You are already in our custody."

Annie raised a brow, already calmer, "I'm in your custody but I really doubt you can hold me here. You are aware of the extent of my powers, that leaves very little openings for you and your men to capture me."

There is a white light that engulfs Tansy and Gidget. Gidget opens her eyes and looks around the room they started in. Her hand is still on Tom's shoulder, and she is happy to see Tansy looking like herself again.

Tom, however, isn't looking as good. Locking away Angel was a taxing trial that took a good deal out of him. On top of that, he looks absolutely terrified.

Gidget looks at Tansy and asks, "Did you see what I saw in there? When I looked into Angel's mind?"

Shane enters the room the doctor is in and locks the door behind him. He hopes that Annie will be able to incapacitate Jones, dead or alive, without much effort. Shane releases a just enough micro-biomass to completely fizzle out the cameras so that no once can see what he is about to do.

Shane clicks the safety on his weapon and sets it down on a table in the corner as though he were about to start inspecting the cameras. He then turns to Berchant and smiles behind the man's back. "What's up Doc?"
