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

"Right here." Trinity answered regarding Gidget's question regarding her phone. "More like I didn't give them the chance to screw up. I took it with me when I left, I wanted to make sure I could keep in touch with Theonis." She smiled as she mentioned his name. "However I went through the procedure of turning off my special access. But I should have the access of the average resident of Valhalla if that helps any. Though now that I think about it, it's best not to let Theonis know of my plan. In order to truly convince everyone, he must be thoroughly convinced. Can I count on you to keep him in the dark until the time is right?"

"Odds are… I probably wouldn't be surprised if he moved on to Liv after it all was said and done. Not sure how long I'll be 'KIA'. " Her eyes lowered thinking about how Liv was flirting with him. She sighed to herself, "I wouldn't blame him though, my actions have been rather selfish as of late."

Theonis arrived just as Kerana started to look at her phone again.

"Got held up. What's going on? Where''s Trinity?!" He asked quickly.

Gidget blurted, "Oh awesome! Er...I meant about the phone, not that thing with Liv. You wont have to worry about her, I'll make sure she pays for what she's done. Theonis will stay your beau."

"I just need you to remove the battery from your phone so I can touch the connectors. Remember how I wired the security in this place to work remotely so that a power outage wouldn't just unlock everything?"she asked with a smirk.

Lawrence arrived just behind Theonis. He spotted Miss Morris' boyfriend and Deora just past Kerana. This only fed into his anxiety as his fists clenched. He looked down at Kerana, hoping for some kind of explination.  

[Nova Blancke]

Fell through a door? His eyes scanned the room and the only thing he could see that was off were the edges of the space around the bed. But before he could do something about it, he felt a sudden gust of wind as if something just passed by at high speed. "So they fell down there?" He asked as he pointed to the floor below the bed.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Larry didn't give any mind to the gust of wind. The only thing he cared about was getting to Miss Smith and Miss Morris.

He gently moved Theonis and Kerana aside as he made his way toward the bed. He then folded his fingers together and flexed, cracking his massive knuckles. The sound that came from them almost sounded like splintering wood.

"You guys may want to back up." he cautioned.  

[Nova Blancke]

Theo nodded but did not need to back up. He could stop or deflect any splinters or shards caused by him. Theo did get in front of Kerana to shield her from it.

"Go for it."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Larry moved around the bed in order to place his giant frame between the mess that was about to be made and the other two patients in that ward. He started by tossing the bed to the opposite wall like it was a piece of play furniture.

He laced his fingers together and raised his giant fists like a hammer. With a combination of his enhanced strength, massive size, and super speed he swung his fists down and through the floor where the bed was.  

[Nova Blancke]

Theo saw the devastation Larry was causing with his combined power. He was glad they didn't fought a week ago. He wasn't sure if he would have made it out.  

[The Count of Monte Carlo]

A crash echoed through Ako's consciousness, deep down where dreams are formed. It became the tinny crash of a cymbal, his heartbeat became the pounding of drums. His memories were of a concert; Metallica. He was 14, he'd snuck out of the house, taken his father's car, and met up with his friends for the concert of his life. The words of his favorite band still stuck deep in his mind. The album "Ride the Lightning."

"Life it seems to fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free"

No, enough of that. Now is not the time to Fade to Black. People need you. Someone in particular. Gidget. Gidget need you. You're not too hurt to protect her. Even if you're dead, you can take on more.
Get up.
Open your eyes.
MOVE.
GET UP!

The EKG beside his bed gave a particularly strong beep before settling back to a normal rhythm. The graphs on the screen began to move, stabilized vital signs showing signs of change. Ako's fists clenched, his toes curled, his eyes fluttered. A groan emanated from his throat. It sounded almost as though he'd said something. Two short words. An order. "get up."  

[Deora_Alvarez]

Deora's unconscious mind wandered between wondrous dreams and horrific nightmares. One moment she would be playing on a beach with a fox she knew as a dear friend, another she would be running from a giant rat she knew only wanted her body. One moment would be filled with the scent of cookies baking, another would be filled with the shouts of a man who once cared for her as a child. One moment she was alone in a dank, dark alley, searching for a home, the next found her safely in a bed, protected by strong walls and surrounded by people she could trust. Where she was now, though, she didn't know.

The touch of a kiss on her forehead sent waves of warmth through her mind, and a close observer might have seen her own lips twitch. As familiar voices filled the room, their echoes and auras pulled her through one mindscape after another, searching for her way home. One voice conjured the image of that dear fox, and she followed it's bushy tail until they were joined by the gentle voice of a young giant. These were the voices she clung to, their owners feeling so very close. So very close to home, as well. Just a little farther...

With a resounding crash, they were gone. Silence. The mindscape was dark once again, home tumbling away and away. She shrieked in her mind, her progress lost, leaving her to splash back in that cold, dark alley, crash back to the floor with her father's hand over her, her cheek hot with pain, crash back to her damp, flat mattress, with the beady eyes lead by a pointed nose staring through the darkness of the doorway.

Her mind cried out in anguish, anger, fear. Where were her friends? How could they abandon her?

NO. She'd learned long ago to stand up for herself, stand up to her fear, to rise above it. To conquer it.

Still, the mind is a strange place, especially for one whose life has had it's very foundation twisted and broken. Not just the foundation of knowing a loving family, or knowing who it was as a person, but the basic foundation of knowing it was even a person at all. Even human. Humans couldn't do the thing this mind knew it could. What did that make it?


Deora's EKG had shown the occasional flutter in heart rate, another monitor showing normal REM cycle brain patterns, but the crash from a couple beds over sent both into a constant flutter. Her heart rate wouldn't settle, her brain was working overtime. It was as though she was caught in a nightmare, unable to wake herself.

The panel was knocked off the gears and thrown down the shaft by the force of Larry's blow. As the dust settled he looked down the dark passage and sighed.

"No way am I fitting in there." he said regretfully.

His large ears picked up on the sounds behind him. He turned craned his neck around to see what was happening. It looked like Miss Morris' boyfriend and Deora were stirring.

He turned his attention back to Theonis.

"I think they're waking up. You should go before security gets here."
