Blinking a couple times, Everett looked behind him before looking towards Justin again. All these people seemed so nice, at least for now, and he offered the man another smile. He really needed to stop doing that. His mouth was covered 99% of the time, nobody was able to see his smile. The man gave a little wave before dropping his gaze. Alright, deep breaths, you know it wasn't so bad being in that building knowing one of them caused a rather unusually loud noise earlier. Oh man, what if one of them was afraid of spiders or something and decided that he was close enough and they annhilated him? No, they wouldn't do that. Right?

Sonya closed the door behind him before leading the way into the warehouse, "Justin, Everett. Everett, Justin is another potential Justice Patrol member who we're currently trying out." SOnya reached the refreshment table and waved an arm towards all of the options, "So, coffee? Tea? Cocoa? Or just some cookies?" He still seemed a little nervous, so she took a step closer and offered him a reassuring smile as she looked up at that pig bandanna, "Don't worry, everything will be okay."

"Hello," he offered before looking down at Sonya as she offered him all these choices. "Uh....hot chocolate and a cookie would be nice," he answered, reaching up and hesitating before pulling his bandana down so it hung around his neck. If he was trying out they were bound to see them anyways, so there they were. His clacky little mandibles in all their glory just kinda twitched and moved on occassion and he waited for the screaming.

Sonya's mouth dropped open half an inch before she caught herself and snapped it shut. There was something out of the ordinary. It was honestly a little terrifying and she tried not to look directly at those strange, twitching mandibles. And then the reason for his anxiety became incredibly apparent and she wanted to smack herself. They all had their own abilities and troubles that had come with them. His were just far more visible than most. Of course he was nervous meeting others, she would be too. But here, out of all places, should be where he could fit in. So she swallowed her apprehension, turning away for a moment. When she turned back, she held a cookie in a napkin and a mug of hot cocoa. Sonya reached up and offered it to him with a smile, purposefully meeting his eyes, "Here you are."

And there it was. He glanced away, towards the door as he debated on walking out. His heart was pounding roughly, his lungs were starting to work double time, he opened and closed his palms as they started to sweat. He never should have come, or at least he never should have pulled his bandana down. This was such a stupid idea. He was about to just walk out until Sonya turned back with a cookie and a mug. It would be so rude if he left now and he offered a weak smile as he took them. "Thank you," he murmured quietly, turning his back to pretty much everyone as he lifted the cookie to his mouth. At least a bonus was he didn't have to hold the thing up. Because as soon as it reached his mouth the mandibles lurched forward a bit, grabbed the cookie, and then just happily held it in place while he took bites and chewed. Which left both hands open to hold his mug because he was so nervous and shaky he was sure he was going to drop it if he held it in both hands.

"You're welcome." She turned away and poured herself another cup of tea, acutely aware of the fact she'd probably just offended him. Taking a deep breath, Sonya turned back around and gestured towards one of the nearby chairs, "Wanna take a seat while they spar?" She didn't wait for a response, instead taking a seat herself and nodding towards the empty chair next to her. The last thing she wanted him to do was pass out and the poor guy looked like he might just be nervous enough to keel over.

Justin takes a sip of his hot chocolate before setting it down again. He turns his attention to Beau and rolled his shoulders back. "So how will we do this?" He asked.

"Um," he glanced over his shoulder a bit, hurriedly eating the last of his cookie before tentatively moving over and sitting beside her. He kept his eyes on the ground, frowning a bit because he couldn't get comfortable in the chair. So he set his cup aside, stood and unzipped his hoodie before slipping it off. His extra arms spread out in relief as he tied the garment around his waist, sitting back down again and looking much, much more happier.

Finn Illyuzia / 25 / Male / Finn is the kind of guy who gives off "Stay away" vibes, and most of it his just from his appearance. He's mostly tall and lanky (reaching around 6'2"), but he's also quite scruffy as well- (he's even been kicked out of cafés before, for looking suspicious). He has pale sickly-toned skin which doesn't seem to help the creepy appearance either. His hair is dark black and it falls on his shoulders in waves; you'll probably also see it falling into his face most of the time. Focusing more on his facial structure, it's quite thin and bony, and his thin dark blue eyes don't really compliment him either. He has a small amount of dark scruff on his chin area, and he also has two rings in his left ear. He normally wears quite a bit of baggy clothing, and most of the time it's just because not much fits him nicely. If you ran into him, you probably wouldn't stick around long. Despite his appearance, he isn't necessarily a "bad guy." He normally comes off as quite calm, however he does have a short temper- but he won't blow like a fuse. He just gets annoyed easily. Finn definitely isn't one to start throwing fits and yelling, however if you piss him off he'll probably shoot you a deadly glare. A lot of people who are close to Finn consider him a workaholic, even though all he does is work at home for a big Newspaper company... He stresses quite a bit about his articles. / Finn has the ability known as Mentifery, and it's something quite fearful to experience. It really explains his "Bad vibes" because the only way for his ability to work is through smoking- in which the fogged up air will begin to warp your reality and perhaps drive you insane. / Finn has a pet corn snake at home, and also a pet Himalayan cat. He always has spare cigarettes on him, however if he ever wanted to use his ability to the fullest extent- he has a special pipe at home. / Neutral
Una / ? / Female / If you've ever seen a horrifying horror movie about some demon girl, that would be an accurate representation of Una. She's rarely seen, and she doesn't listen to orders very well. It's almost as if she's a different being altogether since she doesn't really talk and has quite the mind of her own. From what most people have seen of her in photos, she seems like she's around 5'6" in height and has a slim body. She's seen to have long, blonde disheveled hair and dark crimson eyes. It seems in most pictures of Una, her description isn't completely shown, however many people have seen her with a wide creepy smile, as if she truly did come out of a horror movie. Una is known to be a "lone wolf" type to any other Villains and she almost appears out of nowhere... it's quite difficult for her to be caught. She's known for a few civilian murders and is also known to be found in dark alleyways where there isn't much of the public. No one knows what she's truly after, and does she even have a personality? She might as well be a robot. / Her power is very... complicated. However, her villain name suits it well. If one was to look into her ability, they would find that it's a branch of teleportation however it's considered very "trippy" because whenever it is used, you can only hear static and her giggles- then all of sudden particles of her body are shown and she makes her next murder. / She is known to carry a long silver Katana sword. / Glitch / Villain
Cecil Talamh / 18 / Genderfluid (he/him pronouns preferred) / "The kid who does nothing wrong, but always gets into trouble." That's what most people know Cecil as. Cecil is quite small, only being around 5'5" and is seemingly thin. They have a super cute face, which surely makes others feel bad when they see that Cecil is in trouble. Cecil has fluffy golden brown hair that sticks out in all places, however they normally tie it back to keep it all out of their face, speaking of which, Cecil has a somewhat thin face which contrasts against their big round eyes, which is then covered by large round glasses. Cecil is known to wear brown contacts, and most people wouldn't know but their eye color is an extremely bright green which looks really nice with their olive toned skin. Cecil will normally wear a pair of cargo shorts and a very over-sized sweater, perhaps with a turtleneck as well. The first thing you'll probably hear when meeting Cecil, is how clumsy they are. What a mess. They're normally quite shy and awkward, however they always try their hardest whenever there's trouble around. All Cecil needs is for Capitol city to be a peaceful place. / It's sad to say, but Cecil doesn't have complete control over their power yet. They've gone through a lot of training however to get where they are now. Cecil has the ability to grow plants, however that can also consist of shooting large roots from the ground (which they had done before by accident, and had gotten in big trouble for it.) However, Cecil is studying very hard and is getting close to their goal. / Their father was a known scientist to Capitol city, however he passed away three years ago to a sudden kill by one of the Villains. / Sprout / Hero

[ Essay: written Brain: on Replies: out
I am forcibly brought back into the rp ]
Noah gave a joking eye roll as he stood in front of the cash register, hoping it wasn't too obvious that he was neglecting his job with this multitasking. He'd passed the finished drinks to one of his coworkers and was now left to the mercy of Gum Boy's annoyances. "Hm, well considering it's your most defining feature right now, that'll be a little hard to do," he hummed, keeping an eye on the door before crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the counter. There was still 2 hours to go until the end of his shift, and he wasn't sure if he was going to make it at this rate. He couldn't stop thinking about the gum that was probably stuck to his hand, though he couldn't feel it. "Who am I gonna tell anyways?"
Xavier could feel the questions bounce off of him as he was still in the middle of trying to process the whole situation. It wasn't easy nor fun to re-imagine the scenario of being randomly manipulated, but he tried to pick apart his memories of the past few minutes for any more details, chewing on his bottom lip all the while. Even though he knew the video wouldn't be seen by anyone other than Lawrence, it made him feel rather awkward and he tried not to look too embarrassed about it. "It took what, maybe 20 seconds tops? I was in front of the shop by my car before it happened, so they moved me all away around the block corner to the alley in that time. Kind of scary. I don't know lifting me worked, though..."
Beau sent a hesitant look in Cassie's direction, unsure of how she wanted the rules of this sparring match. Considering Justin didn't look like the most familiar with up-close combat, Beau assumed he'd be trying to prove the guy could do something besides shoot an arrow. "Well," he breathed, stretching his arms up then holding them out in front of him and cracking his knuckles quite audibly, "the way we're going to do this is you try to beat me up. Sound easy? Sound good? Cool. Unless you want to use me as target practice with your fancy schmancy arrows." He waved his hands in a dramatic gesture at the last part, throwing his head back as if challenging him. Although maybe getting almost exploded would be a bad idea.

(did you really just...) Lawrence did some quick math in his head, estimating the distance. It didn't matter if his numbers were off by a few meters or if Xavier's estimation of the duration was conservative. That was still fast, faster than any ordinary human. A big grin slowly began to creep across his face as he turned to face the alleyway, then pulled a camera from his bag to take some pictures, "Do you know what this means, Xavier? What this finally means?" He lowered the camera, eyeing the area in front of him like some magnificent landscape rather than a rather disgusting alley, "There's a new speed demon in town and they might just be able to keep up to Bunny. We're gonna see one hell of a race." He spun back around, a wild look in his eye, "And we're gonna film it when it goes down."
Okay, so he also had extra arms. Clicking mouthpieces that seemed to have a life of their own, as well as extra arms. Sonya wanted to know so badly, but the last thing she wanted to do was make him even more uncomfortable. So she just sipped her tea. It was none of her business. After a moment, she lowered her teacup, "So, Everett, what makes you want to be a hero?" She could already tell Cassie would probably approve of him, he certainly looked tough and capable, but intentions were important too. It wasn't like they were swimming in dough in this line of work and anyone who thought there would be any money in it would be sorely disappointed.
Anna, growing bored of waiting in the park, pulled out her phone. Might as well text the girlfriend and see how things were going. She tapped out a quick message, How are auditions going? before a vanilla ice cream cone was unceremoniously shoved towards her. Jack gave his sister a massive smile and she sighed, taking it from him. Jack sat back down and the two immediately went to work devouring their cones and watching people drift by.

Xavier scrunched up his nose in a frown, not too find of the idea of trying to hunt for two incredibly fast people, one of which wouldn't hesitate to snap his neck. "How do you expect to catch them of camera, huh? And what are the chances of them coming across each other? I don't like fooling around with xenos and criminals that happen to be xenos, at least off the clock," he said doubtfully, easily able to picture how the scenario would go in his head. It did not go well no matter how he approached it. "What if this other speedster or whatever is also bad? And, also, when did I sign up for this!!"

"I'm willing to give it a go." Justin said putting up his fists. He had a feeling this would go badly. Still he would give it his best shot. Justin rushed Beau aiming for his face.
Caspian waited patiently for Frank to arrive. He was feeling annoyed right now and couldn't wait to rant to Frank about his troubles. He growled softly and looks down at his phone. Caspian couldn't believe the nerve of his parents. His parents tried to tell him and convinced him that he needed to final a girl and to settle down. Caspian however had no interest in marrying anyone or having kids.

The man watched Justin and Beau curiously, eyes seemingly fixated on the two before he realized Sonya had asked him a question. "Huh? Oh!" He offered her a sheepish smile,"I wanna help people, I want to save them. Show them I'm not a monster you know? That I'm one of the good guys. That...probably sounds really stupid and cheesy huh?" He looked down at his feet before looking at her again.

Kate had heard the whisperings of a possible hero gathering along with a possible location. She decided to checked the place out. Once there, she poked her head through the door slowly, awkwardly standing just off to the side of the door. She was content to watch for the moment in the shadows, eyeing everything going on.

Shafer waited for Hipster to finish his little tasks with as much patience as someone like him could manage. He managed to stay quiet verbally, but squirmed around quite a bit in the process. The concept of 'comfortable silences' obviously were lost on the boy. "I mean. I could give you another defining feature," Shafer offered so lightheartedly, it could almost be considered innocent. He showed off his teeth in an all too suggestive grin. He was definitely going to make sure that Hipster didn't make it to the end of his shift. "I don't know. I care an awful lot about what your boyfriend thinks of me so you might tell him. And his pretty lady friend. I'm serious." The native gave a dramatically thoughtful nod as he reached over and toyed with a drink machine of some sort.

Lawrence thought about this for a moment before coming to the unfortunate realization that he didn't have a camera that would adequately be able to capture the two in motion. Cameras capable of capturing any sort of detail in the fight would be far more expensive than he could afford. His face slowly fell, shoulders slumping as Xavier continued to ruin his hopes and dreams. He was right, the likelihood of even being around if they fought was so low it was laughable. He forced a smile, turning back towards Xavier, "I guess I'll figure something else out then for the blog, since apparently a speed demon exclusive isn't going to be possible."
Sonya waved an arm, shaking her head, "No! Well, maybe just a little, but that's okay!" She leaned forwards, giving his knee a light pat, "Those are good reasons and you'll find everyone here is in the same situation." She gestured widely with her arm to the surrounding warehouse, "We're all in a dangerous city that often sees xenohumans in a negative light due to the actions of a few bad people. So we help people, by protecting them from those people and by giving them hope that not everyone with powers is to be feared." She heard the door creak open and glanced over to see another newcomer. Smiling, Sonya waved her over, "Welcome, welcome! Come take a seat!"

[ just gonna shoot up this starter for my bab ]
It had been one hell of a long day, and Finn had a pounding headache. To him, this could've been the same as any other day, however this time his headache slowly fell into something worse and he needed a cup of coffee to solve his "world's issues." He had a pair of glasses that rested on top of his head, and his hair was messily tied back into a knot- which showed how exhausted he was. He was walking along the cracked sidewalks as a cigarette dangled loosely from his fingers. He noticed a few odd stares looking his way, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. For all he knew this whole town could expect him to be some sort of terrifying villain, but he was never interested in such. Finn could only dream about the times where he was normal, that way he'd be able to peacefully live his life and write for the crappy newspaper everyday. Well, he actually did so anyways, but the fact that he was some weird xeno-something-or-other didn't help. Finn dropped his cigarette on the ground and dug his shoe on top of it, he was lead to stare at the coffee shop called "The Regulars", and he let out a small sigh. I've heard this place is pretty popular for it's tasty Mocha's, let's just hope they don't kick me out this time. Therefore he opened the glass door, and headed his way in with his hands in his pockets- heavily smelling like smoke.

Beau stood there calmly and watched as Justin ran at him, flicking his wrist to check his watch just to make a show of it. This poor kid didn't know that a running start wasn't exactly helpful for a punch. Dodging gracefully out of the way as Justin threw a hit, Beau snapped his hand out and caught the boy's fist to throw him off balance, aiming to throw him to the ground.
At the sight of Lawrence looking sad, Xavier went into panicky-protective mode. This was not acceptable, nobody was allowed to be sad, especially not in front of him. He hadn't meant to discourage the guy so much, but he just didn't think it was a good idea to chase after dangerous people just to take a picture. "Look! Shouldn't you be trying to find out who the new speedster is? I feel like that's a more appropriate mystery right now. Besides, if they ever cross paths just take a picture of them when they're not going fast?" he offered sheepishly, giving Lawrence's shoulder a little shake. Geez, the guy was so small in comparison Xavier almost felt like he was going to crush him on accident.
Noah's eyebrow shot up about as high as it could go at that suggestive remark, catching on to Gum Boy's antics. It was rather weird to think that anyone would flirt with him at all, whether it was joking or not, that he almost laughed right then and there. Figuring that was inappropriate, he kept his mouth shut about it and just shook his head in exasperation. At the mention of his boyfriend, Noah flicked a glance over at where Hollis was sitting. After a brief squint, he pressed his hand to his mouth and looked back at Gum Boy as if confused. "You care an awful lot about what my boyfriend thinks? And why is that?" he challenged, about to say something else when a customer walked in. Noah scrambled to attention, giving the guy a welcoming wave and his best customer-service smile.

[ thank you !! i wanted a little plant friend and honestly for a wimp like Cecil, "Sprout" seemed pretty fitting ]
Finn nodded his head to the barista, and seeing that nobody had been in line- he walked up to the counter. He quickly glanced over at the other kid who had been talking to the barista in front of him, however he quickly shifted his gaze and looked up at the board listing today's drinks. He then rose an eyebrow. They have a special latte... But I was told to try their Mocha... Oh boy. Finn let out a small sigh. "Could I get your-uh Regular,-" He paused. "Grande Mocha, please?" He pulled out a Ten-dollar bill from his pocket and placed it on the counter for Barista boy to grab. Finn tucked a strand his hair behind his ear as he waited to get his change back from the bill.

Shafer didn't know what reaction he'd been hoping for so he couldn't even be disappointed with the one he got. He just shrugged, as if it wasn't up to him, and felt something in the drink machine clink dangerously. Oops. He messed with it more in an attempt to fix it, expression as casual as he could manage in that moment as to not panic himself or Hipster. "Because he's precious and it's good to have adorable people enjoy you. In this world, at least," Shafer reasoned lamely and continued to struggle with... Whatever it was that he was fiddling with. He gave the new customer a charming smile of his own. "Is he your only boyfriend?"

Lawrence's head bounced around as he was rather roughly shaken from his moment of realization. As he looked up at Lawrence, the melancholy expression rapidly gave way to an eager smile, "You're right! Does this mean you're going to help? Because you have legal access to way more intel than I do and it would be so great if you'd help." Stowing his camera into his bag, Lawrence folded his hands in a pleading gesture, "C'mon X, help a kid out!"
