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

[JewJewBeans]

"Sorry." Angel laughed. "I can." She smiled as she took another step forwards, so that once more then were close to each other. Placing her hands on his chest again, she pushed with about the same amount of force as the first time.

Having experienced her strength before he tried to apply the same amount of counter pressure to try to nullify it. It wasn't perfect but he managed not to get knocked over this time. He did get pushed back but managed to stand up straight with some effort.

"Well..that went a lot better this time. One more time?"

Jeze paused when she saw the strange figure approach them. Her held her hands out to either side to stop her sisters, ten dropped them once more to hang loosely beside her. The younger two stepped forwards, making a straight line across the sidewalk.

When the woman spoke to them, Liadan smiled brightly. "Of course we saw what happened!" She giggled, but hushed when Jeze shot her a glare.

With a frown firmly in place, Jezebel turned to the new comer. "We are unharmed. As for the others..." She paused for a moment as she glanced over her shoulder and the pile of burning automobiles. "I guess they just got... unlucky." Her voice was smooth as ice, her expression somewhat smug. Another soft giggle escaped from Lia's lips. Sharply, Jeze rose her hand and once again, the youngest went silent. Slowly dropped her hand, Jezebel cocked a single brow as she looked at he strange woman.

"As far as what happened, all the lights turned green!" Liadan spoke up once again. Her eyes bright as she looked over the suit that stood before them. "How do you move in that thing? Is it heavy? I heard that knights back in the olden day were REALLY strong, cause their armor was-"

"LIADAN!" Jezebel snapped. Her eyes narrowing on the girl once more. Liadan pouted and turned to her sister, but when the two locked eyes, Liadan's went blank. The young woman stood there for a moment, before Jezebel blinked, and then, so too, did Liadan.

Smiling brightly, she looked to the suit once more and wrinkled her nose. "When did she get here?" Liadan asked softly under her breath as she looked Gigdet up and down.

A crude smile made its way to Jeze's lips. "Just now dear sister. Just now." She looked to Gigdet once more. "Can we help you with something miss? My sisters and I have an engagement we simply can't be late to."

Gidget's readings pick up on a sudden biological flux from the oldest girl. Her head tilts curiously as the youngest one seems to forget what had just happened. A Type 3 meta-human, possibly with the ability to manipulate memory. Gidget did not worry about that. Lacking a physical "brain" her memory could not be tampered with.

This saddens her. The youngest one, Liadan, reminded her of herself when she was that young...and still alive. Already she has a bad feeling about the oldest girl. The middle one though...didn't speak. Gidget makes a mental note to watch out for that one.

She looks to the oldest girl and states, "Your hiding something. It would be best to tell me the truth. I can tell when you are lying." The the question she has been wanting to ask comes forth.

"Are you three responsible for what happened here?"  

[Tatsoi]

Jezebel shrugged somewhat. "In some way." She placed her hands on her hips as she stared through the woman before them. She stood straight her shoulders back and her nose slightly in the air. Her stance alone showed her upbringing of having whatever she wanted handed to her. And she wasn't about to just give this stranger more information then Jeze felt was needed.

Kali slowly turned towered her sisters. "We should go." The dull monotone was gentle, and almost to soft to be heard unless one was listening for it.

Liadan turned as well and paused for a moment before she glanced at the watch on her left wrist. "OH!" She squeaked.

"Hmmm." Jezebel nodded to the others before she turned back to Gigdet. "If you have nothing further to discuss, my sisters and I have an engagement we simply can't be late to. Besides, I doubt that you would want to make some sort of scene in public. I know I'd rather not. So if you will excuse us."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

If Gidget had an eyebrow to twitch it would be. She knew people like the oldest girl when she went to school. Pampered brats who were never told no. Her tone becomes more stern as she takes a few steps toward the sisters.

"I don't think so. If you girls caused this to happen then you will have to answer for it. You are obviously new to having your powers and what it entails, but you have two options. One: you come with me to learn how to use your powers to better yourselves and get an education. Or two: the police find you and turn you over to the Daedalus project to be incarcerated and experimented on. There would normally be the third option of allowing you to carry on by yourselves, which I have always extended, but you have already used your powers to hurt others. It's your choice ladies.

And by the way...I have no problem with creating a public scene." Gidget shifts her feet slightly and prepares for some form of attack, keeping all over her sensors open and continuously scanning the girls and the area around them for danger.  

[Tatsoi]

Jezebel paused. Her eyes narrowed at the woman. Whoever she was, she was starting to get on her nerves. "We have know how to use our powers thank you very much. And as far as becoming incarcerated by the Deadalus Project, I highly doubt that will be an issue." Crossing her arms over her chest. "So, while your concern is cute, it is unnecessary . And I believe that there still a third option." She glanced at her sister' whom both nodded. Taking a step back, Jeze moved to the back of the line, as Kali moved forwards.

Hey eyes were dim as she blinked at the woman for a moment.
Liadan frowned somewhat. "Be careful Kali." Her voice was soft, but full of concern.
Jeze moved closer to the young girl and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry. She can handle herself. Besides, if need be, you can help.”  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Gidget scans over Kali. Tightened muscle structure, with increased density: heightened agility, speed, and strength. She can't tell to what extent, but she trusts that her suit will be able to handle what is thrown at her.

Gidget's voice exudes genuine concern for the melancholy teenager. "You don't have to do this Kali. I don't want to incapacitate you, but I will if you leave me no choice. Stand down...please."

Ako had been riding for hours on end when he passed the sign saying Knoxburgh was only ten miles ahead. The sprawling city rose up before him as he crested a hill, the first time he'd seen it in years. Some things seemed to have changed, but a lot was the same. The skyline looked the same as the first time he'd come to this city, as a soon-to-bee college student so long ago. He slowed as the building got closer together and started growing taller. The rumble of the Harley's V-twin engine echoed off the glass walls around him as he cruised through the streets, not really knowing where to go. He couldn't just go back to the apartment he'd once called home, his friends were probably long gone from there. Would they even still be in the city? Maybe they'd all followed his lead and gotten out before the Daedalus Project had a chance to find them. What about Valhalla, though? Surely they hadn't abandoned that, or had they?

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he realized the truck in front of him wasn't moving. He hit the brakes, locking up the bike's rear wheel. Any harder on the front brake and he would have gone over, but he managed to keep the bike upright and come to a skittering halt inches behind the SUV's rear bumper. He relaxed his grip on the handlebars and slumped back into the bike's saddle, breathing a sigh of relief. That was way closer than it should have been. Now that he looked around, he saw that traffic was at a standstill. Curious, he pulled the bike into a nearby parallel parking spot and shut it off, taking a second to fully regain his composure before stepping off and onto the sidewalk.

Looking to the intersection up ahead, he saw what looked like a wreck that took up the entire intersection, as if everyone had gone at once. He was about to simply get back on his bike and turn around when a somewhat familiar voice caught his ear. He looked back to the intersection, but didn't see anyone he recognized. There were three odd little girls, though, talking to someone blocked from his view by the corner building. He could tell from here that the little girls were not normal, and it might be a good idea to see who they were talking to, as well as find out if they had something to do with this.

As he came up to the intersection, it was clear the girls were getting ready for a fight. Maybe it was best to just leave, but there was that familiar voice again, asking them to stand down. Ako stopped when he could see who the girls were talking to, and his heart almost stopped with him. That robot. No, that suit. "G-Gidget?" It had been so long since he'd even said that name. So long since he'd seen the little pink haired inventor, the girl who'd practically been his little sister. He'd forgotten about the likely impending fight before him, too stunned upon seeing something nearly unchanged from so long ago.

Kerana

"No worries, I'll wait until it's finished... Have you had dinner yet? I was planning on taking this up to my room and eat it there... oh I know if you haven't had dinner yet would you like to join me? You could meet Deora, my new roomate." Her eyes sparkled, her ears flicked and her tail wagged with excitement.

Deora, the new girl. It had seen her when he looked like the other body. It decides that she could be of some use to releasing the creator. Staying in character, it accepts Kerana's invitation.

"Oh um...well...alright. If she is a friend of yours she is probably just as nice."

As he came up to the intersection, it was clear the girls were getting ready for a fight. Maybe it was best to just leave, but there was that familiar voice again, asking them to stand down. Ako stopped when he could see who the girls were talking to, and his heart almost stopped with him. That robot. No, that suit. "G-Gidget?" It had been so long since he'd even said that name. So long since he'd seen the little pink haired inventor, the girl who'd practically been his little sister. He'd forgotten about the likely impending fight before him, too stunned upon seeing something nearly unchanged from so long ago.

Gidget's sensors pick up on another meta-signature. A new view window opens in her HUD. She turns her head to face the newcomer, and a strange sensation similar to anxiety strikes her. Not in a physical sense, but her mind began to race at 100mph. It was Ako, the man she had a school girl crush on.

Why is he here? It's not safe. Warn him. Hold him. Don't let him know what happened. I'm old enough to date him now. I'm not human anymore.

The thoughts nearly drive her mad, until she suddenly realizes that she had made a terrible mistake. She had taken her attention off of Kali, and left herself open to attack.  

[Tatsoi]

Kali turned to her sister when Gigdet seemed to turn away from them. A silent conversation happened between the tree of them. Quickly, the three of them made their escape.
"Well, that was weird." Liadan frowned somewhat.
"I doubt that will be the last we will see of her." Jezebel frowned again as they ran down the street.  

[JewJewBeans]

Nodding once again. Angel repeted the process. She smiled softly at him as she did so. It was kind of funny. She wasn't sure why, but it simply was. She blinked at herself more then anything else, and tilted her head to the side as she watched him.

Following along, the woman said nothing. Her mind still else where as But at the same time, it didn't matter what she was doing or how much pain she was in, there was always that small bit of excitement underneath. Every time her eyes burned, or itched, she remember that tomorrow was a new day, and one that she was looking forwards too.

Deora looked at what all was available and relayed what she thought was the good stuff to Justine. "It's looks like they've got some pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, some soups, I think I see some tacos ad burgers, salad stuff..." She went silent a second as she looked over all the food. "I think it's easier to say they have just about everything. What would you like?"  

[The Count of Monte Carlo]

As stunned as Ako was, it was hard to ignore the girls as they made their escape. He wanted to talk to Gidget, to catch up on what had happened, to apologize for running. He had so much to talk about, ask, and tell, but the girls who'd just been threatening a fight were now running away. "HEY!" he called after them before turning back to Gidget, "Should we go after them?"
