Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Seriously?" Annie sighed and joked lightly. "That's almost disappointing... it isn't everyday I get such high humidity: it gives me a power boost... and helps my hair curl better." As she spoke she inspected a curl that she twirled in her hand and then added more seriously, "It is kind of concerning though. And slightly insulting. Who exactly are they looking for. It isn't like Daedalus to go 'wrong meta, let's head out.' I thought all metas, especially ones with as strong of power as we have, were worth bothering to catch."

She muttered under her breath making pokemon references, "It's like you are hunting Zapados and you run into Articuno: you don't just say 'well, too busy for you" and run..."

"Like I said, that many people would have been able to take me down eventually, or I would die in the process of them capturing me," Annie replied before sighing and saying a single curse word before saying, "Well, we probably should intercept them. He-it- doesn't have a definite moral system. Something like that could very easily be the deciding factor in how he will proceed in life."

"Come on, let's get the car. I could probably follow them as condensation which would be quicker, but that wouldn't exactly help you," Annie added as she headed towards the car, still chattering as she went. "And I don't like staying in my liquid form very long. It may be an indestructible form but it feels weird when I pick up even the slightest amount of dust."

As she spotted the cars below she said, "Now it is time for me to work my magic... it is about to rain. I really hope for anyone else on this road today, that their insurances cover acid rain..." The air grew warmer and more humid in seconds, the humidity beginning to clump together and large water droplets paused in the air, before vibrating so slightly and falling on the street below as droplets of pure nitric acid. While Annie didn't defend herself from the acid, she did bother to make a protective liquid bubble around Alexavier.

She waited, as the acid fell on her as harmless as rain, though the cat suit was beginning to show wear... apparently it didn't have the full immunity to acid like Annie did. Her concentration was on controlling the acid rain, trying to avoid catching bystanders in the showers. Frowning she waited and muttered, "Well, that should divert their attention for a bit." As she waited, she couldn't help but admire the damage beginning below: she had finally caught up with her powers. And her powers seemed almost endless... which might be a problem, she noted, if the newly hatched egg's inhabitant fully gained her power.

Heather reached out from behind her leathery shielding and took the clothes with an appreciative nod. She stood up and proceeded to get dress while keeping her wings in front of her. She had to admit that having them was handy. The idea of being able to fly tickled her.

After getting the clothes adjusted properly she spread her wings to full width and examined her body. She was astounded. It was as if the transformation had sculpted her physical form to peak condition. She felt powerful, strong...

Then she looked up at the mirrored glass and saw herself in full. What was starting to become a smile faded away as she approached her image. She placed on hand on the glass, and the other to her face. She watched tears develop in her inhuman eyes. A quick blink and they cascaded down her scales.

"Wow...there's really nothing of me left at all. Even my hair has changed color. I'm happy to be alive, but...I...s**t." she huffed. A small puff of flame came out with the first sob. She quickly closed her jaws and reduced herself to inhaling through her nostrils. She was pleased to discover that breathing that way kept whatever second hole she had in her throat closed.

Kerana's ears slopped down at her disappointment. She took the risk and rushed up to hug her. "I think I still see something of the real you left. It's in here." she pointed toward Heather's heart. "As long as that remains true, you'll always have a real piece of yourself."

Kerana has all kinds of friends some of which when the meteor hit them lost themselves to the beast. They forget who they were and had to be contained. She hoped that Heather would not end up like them.

Cassandra just stood by and listened, patting Damien's head when he looked down at the floor. She would not get in between an argument between children. That is something they need to work out themselves. As long as they don't get physical. Then she would be forced to intervene. Not violently though. She would never harm a child.

"Would you like to see her too Damien?" She asked softly.


Alexavier looked down at the chaos caused by the woman floating beside him. It was beautiful. He looked genuinely pleased.

"Maybe you should drop some more. Just for effect."

"Well...please continue." The old man urged it.

"I am afraid that is all that I can tell you about me. I have told the people in pursuit of me that I am no threat to them and that I desire a world of peace. It is my only purpose. The reason for my birth" The creature continued.

"We all do" The old man sighed.

"Then why is there no peace? Why is there still so much conflict in this world." It asked.

"Human nature I suppose. Religion, money, greed, stupid stuff like that. People thinking that others should do something differently because they don't agree with it. Forcing their own ideals onto others. Sometimes I think the only way to stop them is by force or threats. Not sure if we will ever have peace." The man seemed sad. Perhaps he truly believed his words.

But it made the creature think that perhaps his Father method was not completely wrong. If all humans become Meta's there will be no more discrimination because all will be the same. They will not be without power so they cannot be bullied by those with power. They will be equals. The being was thinking about his methods. On how he would accomplish his goals.

Annie shot a glare at Alexavier and replied, "Sure: and I'll take down that barrier I set up around you, too, just so you can feel the full effect. If you had ever been burned by acid before you wouldn't be so nonchalant about acid raining down on a moderately populated street. And secondly, hydrochloric acid is my specialty not nitric acid, nitric acid requires a bit more focus for me to control. I don't believe in pushing my luck excessively."
