The driver looked at them as if they were crazy, but he opened the door anyways. Rosie thanked him before exiting. Once out on the sidewalk, she waited for Jerome and took his arm before rushing against the flow of people. She made a gust of wind around them to make space for them to move. Above, dark clouds began to form. With this many people fleeing in terror, something really bad must be happening.
---
"You'll see," Waro replied simply. As soon as she was on, the Silver Lily leapt into action, zooming out onto the streets and among the traffic of the day. They driving towards the edge of the city. --- (If the flash drive survives this, and someone looks at it, I'll tell you what they find if they manage to get past the corruption and coding. :3)
"I do." The straps unhooked and Zed hopped neatly off the bike. He walked to the left of the double doors, and pressed on one part of the wall. The wall rotated, revealing a short dark room. Zed entered. When he came back out, the double doors were opening. Beyond the doors, all that could be seen was darkness. Whatever it was, it seemed bigger than any of the previous rooms. He closed the wall and motioned Isaac into the dark room. Zed jogged into the room after Isaac, as the double doors closed behind him, leaving them in darkness. He took a deep breath and pressed his hand down on his tablet.
James was currently in the section of Zed's underground laboratory that only Waro, Hornet and now Isaac had seen. All lights and power were suddenly eliminated, leaving James in the darkness. Not only that, but just before the power went out, he had triggered the entire section to collapse in on itself.
The section they were in now, was deeper underground. Only Zed had ever been within these walls. Even Waro had never stepped foot this far into the lab. Zed dropped the now useless tablet, and dropped it to the floor, crushing it underfoot. Then he whistled, as if calling a dog. The area suddenly flooded with light, revealing a huge room full of all sorts of machinery; some finished, and some incomplete. A small machine about three feet high, rolled towards them. It passed over the broken tablet with a vacuum-like noise, then turned back the way it came. All shards were gone; it was as if the tablet hadn't been broken in the first place.

As soon as the bike began to move, the girl with the mask jumped through the window without taking a running jump. Even through the shatters, she didnβt seem phased as she took off in an ultra fast blur, leaving only a blur where she was. That was, until she ran ahead of the bike, just outside the city, where things were a bit quieter, and stopped, right before it, as if daring Waro to hit her.
Her mask may be the first thing they noticed, or perhaps it would be the haunting and unnatural red eyes that filled the entire eyeline of the mask, no pupils showing. They bore at Waro, careful, ready to move.

Imagine her mask as this: But with a different design, and probably cutting off at her cheeks? Iβm still kind of deciding I might end up drawing it out for reference.) Actually, kind of imagine a cross between this and Chesireβs mask from Teen Titans, and imagine the ears a tad longer, the mask kind of golden in color, and the βeyesβ as bright scarlet. And imagine a black heart instead of a circle like on this one. The details would most likely be scarlet and black, and the eyes would be surrounded by black. The grin from Chesireβs would probably remain though.

(Ooh. That looks good. :3)
Why was he doing this? This was wrong. Even so, Waro felt... happy, for the first time in a long time; and not in the way that he felt when beating down a foe. It was more like an inner peace one felt around friends. What had happened to his plans to keep her at a distance? It was dangerous for both himself and her. He didn't deserve this. Frustration welled up inside him, and he forced it all back down with an iron will. So what if he was selfish? He was stronger now than he was back then. He could handle a little fun. His thoughts were interrupted when someone suddenly stepped right in his path. He screeched the bike around the lion-masked person, and spun to an ungraceful stop a few metres past. His eyes narrowed, and he stepped off of the Silver Lily. This person, with her searing red eyes and daring posture, obviously had some bone to pick with him. The way she had come before his bike as they did clearly signified some sort of power relating speed. He normally didn't fight out of Blink costume, but if he had to, he wouldn't hesitate to do so. Over the years, he had made many enemies. Half of them, he didn't even know, despite all of his research. This must be one of them, he assumed. She must have found him out. "What do you want?" he growled out, his ice-blue eyes trained on the stranger. His hand drew near to his hip.

The girl turned, the Mask covered all of her face, was tan in color, and the fluffy area of her collar signified her to an extent. The bun on her head let some hair fall, and the red ribbon trailed down past her back.
She glanced at Hornet, though without her eyes actually being able to be seen, the action would be hard to trace. Her gaze went back to Waro, and when he asked her what she want, she simply tipped her head at first. βThat depends on you,β she started, her voice had a slight accent to it, not much though, and was a feisty little sound. βAnd your knowledge on the Darkest Hearts.β
The words sounded odd, βDarkest Heartsβ, but there was a small legend surrounding them. She waited for his awnser, standing ready for the attack.

A figure, with eyes almost white in color, and dark black hair stood nearby Carnal, Orion, and he grinned. βNow, run along, you have to go find your brother.β He did a little tick of his tongue, eyes narrowed in humor, he knew what Corona almost said, and couldnβt have chanced it. Just as quickly as he said it, he turned away, wiping off his dagger of Coronaβs blood, βAnd donβt worry about her, sheβll most likely live.β He added. β Ress let off a gasp when the blade did nothing, and writhed when he grabbed her, fruitlessly trying to escape, he had grabbed her arm. Solani found her eyes wide, she, unlike Cypress, did not have powers. Then again, she was never tested on. She began to lunge at him, but someone held her back. Rose was finally intervening, and seemed surprised at the woman. βSolani, you bore of your work already? Itβs such a surprise you never found your daughter when she was always right under you nose.β She snorted, βLike you let the other children die, just let her, sheβs a nuisance.β She bargained, only to met with a sob. Carnal laid her down and stood, eyes furious with rage. "Why? Why have you done this?!" - Cyto growled. "Rose, come on. Let it happen. I wanna see her try." However, the growl was more teasing than anger. "It's more about the fun." He squeezed his hand around Ress's neck.

(Seperate post for her, one sec) - (Gotcha :3) Isaac whistled just the same. "This is something." He set the kickstand for Karma, and trotted right beside Zed. It was a marvel to see so deep into Zed's base, and an even greater thing to see so many of his inventions. Desperately, the child inside him wanted to see each one up close, but times were more dire than that. James heard the collapse before it happened. With a quick snap the gravitational kinetic energy of the collapsing ceiling was turned into potential, and it took most of his focus to simply keep it as such. To an outside viewer, they might think him to be a psychic holding it up, but instead he was slowing down the interaction between the exchange of energy types. The sunglasses he wore had a flashlight attachment, and after a quick talk into his sleeve, he picked a direction and began walking once more. Now he was becoming strained, finally, at the effort.

Hornet immediately jumped from the bike, Needle in hand in the crouching posture she knew best. Lines of razor thread hung in the air like a cloud around her, and she grabbed her mask to place upon herself. "Darkest Hearts? Sounds bad." She said to her companion. She hadn't the slightest clue what it meant, but unlike Waro, she was totally and overtly prepared to fight. A 'secret identity' had never occurred to her.

Orion shook his head, βShe doesnβt need to intervene with fate, and if you wait, more blood will be on your hands, run along now.β
β
Rose sighed, letting go.
The women ran forward, grabbing out a small bead, or by the looks of it, a small bead, and threw it out towards Cyto, as soon as it hit the ground, a burst of smoke came out.
She ran forward to grab Ress by her daughter was being choked by the monster before her.

Jerome listened to the people fleeing and felt the air getting ever so slightly colder.Definitely Rosie.He thought as he pictured the dark clouds swarming over them."Ok,so who's going to die and who am I supposed to kill for?"He said rather loudly once they got close enough to the attack.
Steve saw Jerome and his new friend Rosie as he yelled.Steve whistled to his friend."Cover your faces,you're too at risk here!"He threw a couple of masks at them,watching as Jerome caught one miraculously and put it over his face.

(Just because, I'm going to post one at a time. Maybe it'll make my roleplaying faster.)
"Darkest Hearts? Never heard of it," Waro replied, frowning. From the corner of his eye, he could see Hornet ready for action. His hand found the staff at his hip, and wrapped securely around it. It was the one he called Fernando. Would she take his word for it, or attack? He had a feeling it would be the latter.

The girl, whose face remained completely hidden by the mask, let off a tiny laugh. βYes,β She said, her face inclined toward Hornet, βA Darkest Heart is very bad,β she finished.
Her gaze swung to Waro, she hadnβt attacked, not yet, but one of her hands went to the back of her hip, where attached to her belt rested the extendable staff. βSure you havenβt,β She hummed, tipping her head. β4 people, destined to doom, with godlike abilities? And youβve never heard of it?β She asked, she didnβt believe him, that was obvious enough. βThey have black hair, unnatural colored eyes, and often have powerful abilities, and every recorded case of them ends in heartbreak.β She added, before she sped in a blur, stopping right before him, βYou fit a lot of that criteria, I have reasons to believe that your abilities and you yourself are part of the curse, so tell me, do you have Pandoraβs gift?β
(I bet Artemis is just itching to know who this character is lol.)

"Practically a lifetime of work, my faithful ally. But now is no time to relax." Zed placed a hand on the door. "He's managing to hold off the cave in. All of it. Or at least all of it in this direction. Pretty impressive. Though it's a shame, really." The distance of the motorcycle and the heat-resistant doors might buy them enough time. Or at least that was what he hoped. He stepped away and walked in quick, long steps to the far side of the room. There was no knob on the door he approached. Instead, Zed placed his hand onto the door and after a moment, it swung open, revealing a smaller room with counters, tools, and strange arm-like machinery suspended from the ceiling. "Tell me, what is your relationship with your brother?" he asked as he stepped further into the room, and began fiddling with a screen.

(Gasp! It's Pumpkinman! Jk. ^^) (Maybe I'll wait for them to finish the dramatic moment before jumping into action.)
Rosie gasped at the piles of clothes she saw on the ground. Were those once... people? "Who would do something like this...?" she murmured, horrified. She heard Steve call and glanced over. She fumbled to catch the mask he threw, but with a little wind guidance, she caught it and put it on her face. When did he get here? As confused as she was, she was glad he was here. By the looks of it, they needed as much help as they could get.

"The kind of people that need it."Growled Jerome,his skin and bones hardening.He then formed his right hand into a blade."But when I need to I'm going to make em sorry."
Steve nodded at Jerome's answer."It was some green thing with a tail."He explained as he walked towards them."I caught the tail end of it's massacre.I was waiting for a window."

Waro yanked his staff out, just as his black hair ruffled from a breeze caused by the stranger's sudden movement. Yup. She was definately a speedster. His eyes were able to track her movement more easily that someone with a normal pair of eyes. "That's quite the assumption to make. And if I do have this... Pandora's gift. What are you going to do about it?" he growled, extending his staff between them and shifting into a better position. The short distance between them was disturbing, but he refused to back down.

(In case you need anything, I can post a quick summary.) Cyto, hungry for essence, as he feeds on it, attacked a group of people. Ress is stuck when it happens, and attracts his attention due to the amount of darkness and shadows that track her(she was a test subject at one time, and had these abilities that she tends to conceal). He goes to attack her, but a women, similar to Ress in looks, and brought back from literally like page 200, named Solani, a past villain, tries to help Ress, who is revealed to be her lost daughter, and Solani is her lost mother sheβs been searching for.
Elsewhere, Carnal leaves Corona and Akira, Corona is distraught, and rushed after him, using telepathy to pinpoint him, but when she finally gets close enough, she is about to reveal a part of the intuition/vision she and about Cyto absorbing Carnal, however before she can finish the statement, Orion stabs her, seeming to appear from no where(he did not teleport, hmmmmmm).
The heroes, Enix, and 13 and the others(maybe Ollie) get a message about the killings Cyto has committed and rush to intervene before more are killed.
And Lotusβ whereabouts are currently unknown.

The girl grabbed out her own staff, holding it at ready, βIf you do have it, as I presume, Iβll need you to come with me.β She said, her eyes under the mask narrowed, not that the action could be seen. She glanced at Hornet for a moment, before turning back, βAnd the girl? She isnβt a part of it, her hair is white...unless sheβs using an astral projection?β She wondered that aloud, tipping her head and mask all the same, face hidden. βWhy would you work with someone when your destiny is so darkened?β She then pushed, her voice dropping colder, βDonβt you know that you bring suffering?β
She seemed ready at an moment to attack, and glanced at him. She was a tiny girl, and skinny as well, a teen by the looks of her body, a small chest though, and a slight hourglass figure. She seemed to wear a type of scarlet kimono, and black pants. Most of her skin was covered by the clothing she had. She lionlike mask she had on hid her face rather well, and the red ribbon that held her hair up blew a bit in the wind.

He realized this stranger was right, and that he was needed back there. "What will happen to her?!" He asked feebly. - Cyto's eyes nearly shut, the slits also narrowing to accommodate the surprise, while keeping a death-grip on her daughter. And as the woman ran up and grabbed his arm, he kept his grip tight enough that it wouldn't break for any normal strength. And after allowing a moment's struggle to occur, Cyto had seen enough. The woman wasn't going to be saving her daughter. Pity. He brought his free hand up, and right back down upon the back of her neck, her nape. He couldn't see well, so it might be a knockout blow at least, but at worst, it might kill. He just couldn't tell for sure.

Orion sighed, rolling his eyes, βIt doesnβt exactly matter. If fate wants her alive, she will live, and if not-β
βIβll help her,β a new voice came, black hair and green eyes were seen, even with a mask over them. βI can take her to the nearest hospital,β she offered, walking up.
Orion behind her looked completely irritated at Lotus, but didnβt intervene further, instead just walking away.
β
Solani had tears in her eyes, a sob coming from her when Ress let off a pitiful scream.
Ress screamed in pain, feeling the hand hit the back off her neck, and everything seemed to go numb, as her body went limp.
(Is she dead? Is she alive?
Weβll see on the next episode of reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.)
