Ollie watched the holograms closely, trying to imprint them to memory. He couldn't help but feel drawn to the one who looked similar to himself. Was that the Ollie of the other world? He looked at Shadow when she finished with an apology. "Not alone, but they are a start. Your friend, Cassiopeia- she's the shade called Umbra, right? She said that if we could take a certain object from him, we could free her too. I think that object is one of those stones. Even if we could get away with at least one of those stones, we might be able to free your friend and we are a step closer to stopping him." Now that his body was calming down from the day's stress, a dull headache was beginning to take form. He rubbed his head and stroked his chin, trying to force it back. "You said you know he has the sunstone. Do you know where he keeps it?" By the sound of it, Orion clearly had the bloodstone, but Shadow sounded like she wasn't certain he even had it. But if she knew where the sunstone was, maybe, just maybe they could find the other...

Shadow glanced at Ress and Enix, both girls were older than her, older teens, and she kind of seemed shy, yet assertive all the same. “Cas was one of the survivors,” she said with a smile, but the words held a chilling undertone. A clue to the genocide she witnessed, “I...I can’t say for sure. My time...as a shade, I can’t really remember it too well. I mean, bits and pieces, but only when he-“ she trailed off, glancing at Ollie. When he hurt her, but she didn’t want to say it. “But maybe if I got close enough, I could use my phasing to look for it?” She suggested, though she went to clarify, “Not that I’m offering to join your team of ‘heroes’, heroes don’t exist, and I’m only here to free me friends and...and live out my purpose.”

Ollie nodded solemnly. He remembered seeing Orion purposefully cause her pain, and later seeing her battered and bruised, crying. He remembered the flashes of memory that had leaked from her when they met for the second time, flashes of loss and despair. When she finished, he nodded, a slight smile in his expression at her last few words. After all, weren't they all trying to fulfill their purpose in their own little way? "Do you think you can do it without getting caught? I can help you get close if needed," Ollie offered, watching Shadow. So her power was phasing... He found it intriguing how similar it was to his access to the forgotten realm. To nearly vanish from reality. Did the world forget her too in those moments using her power? Yet her skill seemed to have different abilities than his own.
(Sorry for the wait. Lots of Christmas preparations. -tired smile-)

She had seemed to calm down, her eyes becoming more gentle as she nodded, “I think I can do it. When I phase, I enter the realm of darkness, think of being caught between worlds. I’m kind of like a ghost? But I’m not dead, not really. I’m not exactly alive either,” she shrugged, “Just frozen.”
She then cracked a small smile, “When I become a shadow, I don’t really have to worry about being caught.”

Just how many layers of reality were there, Ollie wondered. It would explain some of the strange things he'd seen from the forgotten realm. If these layers of reality were anything like a fractal, it would mean there would be infinite possibilities... But that wasn't important right now. Ollie quickly closed that train of thought and stored it away for later. Anyways, the ability respectably reflected her namesake. Shadow. One of these days, perhaps when they got to know each other a little better, he'd ask what her real name was.
He nodded, believing her. "When do you think the best time will be? Tonight? Tomorrow?" he let his gaze roam over to Enix and Ress, wondering how they were holding up with the sudden influx of knowledge.

Enix watched silently, before sighing, “As soon as possible...?” She suggested, shrugging.
Shadow winced slightly, “Wait-“ she went to intervene, but another figure appeared before her, blocking her from Ollie’s sight, glaring back at her slightly, it reminded of someone...
Evanesce appeared, arms crossed, “If you want to save Holly, act tonight.” She spoke, giving Shadow a stern glare.

Ollie thought he should be able to recover enough by evening, but he didn't know what state Shadow was in. He wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, but he also knew that they couldn't go unprepared. When Shadow spoke, his gaze flicked in her direction. She was the one they were depending on for this job, so ultimately, it would be her decision when the went. But before she could begin, something appeared between them. Ollie's breath caught at the sudden appearance, but as he studied the back that was facing him and heard her voice, he knew who it was. Evanesce. "Save Holly?" he echoed. He thought Holly was gone. And hadn't Evanesce been more interested is saving Cassiopeia? Even so, another little flame of hope sparked to life within him.

crap i did it again) Masaki gritted his teeth as he looked around for a way to stop Boris from attacking any civilians. Fortunately seeing a man come out of nowhere while they are on fire is enough to spook some of the civilians into running away. That and a man coverd in ice was probably triggering their flight response "So you're willing to go around and kill innocents just to do that? But what's to stop me from attacking you after you attack them?" He asked. He was trying to stall for time as he was trying to wrack his brain to formulate some type of plan. He didn't know the full extent of Boris' powers but he figured he would need to rely on his sight to be able control his ice like he usually does. (Sorry for dissipating into thin air,been busy trying to build something for someone bc they're too lazy to do it) Boris chuckled. "Do you really think I'd hit them all at once?" He questioned with a tilted head. "It's much easier to hit 'em one at a time,then by the fifteenth or sixteenth one you'll be too exhausted to do anything. I leave,and you never see me again."

(Okay, so for the stuff I’ve been here for...
There are multiple universes(explored priorities in Worlds Collide, an RP that took/is taking place in a PM, it’s been on hold but the outcome is the same) that reflect the universe our characters live in. Some characters(this is open) can access these AUs, and even take energy from them.
After the battle, Holly died and so did 13(presumably). Enix had fallen depressed, and Ress had been in recovery. Ollie was about the only one standing strong, despite his own issues. Weeks later, Enix is ambushed by Orion, who had gained the ability to steal abilities simply at skin contact for periods of time(taking energy), and she reports this to Ollie, warning him. Without powers, Enix feels kind of useless and semi-retires for a while, while Ollie continued his search. Ress, not too long after, losses her abilities as well. With most of the group having quit or left, Enix, Ollie, and Ress stick together at a new base with Ress’ mother, Solani(a past assassin).
Strange creatures, called ‘Shades’ begin to appear, all monochrome in black and white, acting strangely and sticking to the darkness. They begin a range of attacks, and one in particular is named Shadow. Shadow is hesitant to follow Orion, and has gained Holly’s powers, which are revealed to have been stolen from her by Orion prior to her death. Shadow and Ollie fight when he finds her and confuses her with Holly(as she bares some resemblance, but looks and sounds many years younger). Shadow claims she isn’t Holly, and shows great disdain for Holly, lashing out. Orion shows up, essentially beats Shadow into submission, and attempts to steal Ollie’s powers. Ollie ends up escaping.
However, soon enough, Ollie is filling in Enix on the events and Evanesce(a older character, amalgamate from experimentation) appears and reveals that they can possibly save Holly if they free Cassiopeia by using the blue crystal. Ollie ends up freeing Shadow, who is extremely paranoid, and brings her with him to the hideout. While there, she reveals more about her world, which is revealed to be frozen in time due to Orion, who had zapped all kinetic energy from her world to power his thirsts. It’s also revealed that the Shade’s are ghosts whose souls were stolen from Shadow’s world, and who are powered by Orion’s stolen powers, thus, the souls are owned by Orion. Lastly, Shadow just mentions who people like Ollie were in her universe, and reveals that they had a set of stones and a council that ruled their world, and that Orion was viewed up as a god, with children sacrificed to his cause(this is actually coming soon). Otherwise, we have some stuff planned, but as of stuff I’m involved with, that’s it?)

(Welcome back! ^^ Hornet and Blink can be involved, or they could eventually get involved. Since Orion was hunting down 'heroes' for their powers (or something like that), Ollie and Enix had been planning to warn them when her powers first vanished. Either Blink and Hornet could have gone into hiding with them, or gone into hiding with Zed (In a roundabout way since his lab was destroyed). Either way, they can get involved in the situation. Unless you have a better idea. XD If they join Shadow's team right away, it would probably have to be Hornet's decision. Blink wouldn't do it unless Hornet was being stubborn. XD) (I can send you the last post between Isaac and Zed, or we can assume that time has passed and they've been working together all this time (in a new base). Again, I'm fine with either choice. ^^)
(Feel free to ask questions if none of that made sense. :3)

(Thank you both <3) (I'm thinking this- Hornet has gone into a coma since the fight. Isaac is out as an information gatherer for Zed basically.) (I have a new girl I'd like to introduce. She's a bit alusive and might border on OP once she starts understanding her powers, but I promise I'll do my best to reign her in, yeh?)

(Ah, you'll probably be fine. I'm excited to meet her! :3) (Sounds good. XD Things about Zed that Isaac may notice. He rarely goes outside. The only time he probably seen him outside was when he took them to the new base (which is located underneath the city). He makes lots of jokes, some better than others. Most aren't very good. He will likely get Isaac to pick up food, a special skin cream, some pills and some materials. Blink will be very grumpy and irritated, almost always at Hornet's side. Zed can't seem to get anything out of him anymore, even though they are practically living in the same base. Sometimes Blink will walk out with no explanation, but he never goes far. After all, someone has to keep Hornet safe.) (I'm thinking they left before Ollie and Enix got to talk to them. So they don't know about Ollie's group, but through recourses, they know people have been disappearing and that some strange beings have been sighted. Zed can find limited evidence through video feed.)

(Okie dokie, I like this setup.) (Um so Zed is looking into how to wake up Hornet for Blink's sake and finds out about Katie (The girl) that she might know what Hornet's condition is? So Blink goes to find this girl and see what her deal is.)

(Okay. :3)
Zed tapped the his tablet as he walked from Hornet's room. All sorts of machinery was hooked up to her, and the room was filled with the same endless beeping one would hear in a hospital. The door closed behind him, cutting off the sound. It brought back memories, that sound. He walked through the halls to some sort of computer room. He flopped down into a rolling chair and the momentum rolled him to the desk. He had tried to get Blink and Hornet together, because he thought it would be good for Blink. It had worked for a time, but he couldn't have predicted this. Now Blink's fate rested in Hornet's recovery. He looked down at the tablet, then up at the computer screen, where he had a picture of someone's face. And now, Hornet's recovery rested in Blink's ability to reason. Zed rubbed a temple. He would have sent Isaac, but after Blink heard the news, there was no dissuading him. This was too personal for Blink right now, but all he could do was have faith in him. --- After giving Isaac explicit directions to guard Hornet, Blink had set off to the last known coordinates that Zed gave him. Blink parked the Silver Lily and hopped off. He looked around at his surroundings, ice-blue eyes scanning faces with great intensity. In fact, his whole body seemed to radiate intensity and his hair was uncharacteristically ruffled. His gaze lifted to the doorway of the building he had parked in front of.
(No time for colours right now, but I may add some eventually.)

(Lol, I'm so hyped for this. Hearing these characters in motion- Aaa! ^3^)
The concrete, falling-apart maze of a building was old and decrepit, much like the rest of the surrounding infrastructure, covered in moss and vines. There wasn't any graffiti, as if no soul have been brave enough to enter this area, for fear of the urban legend- time did not work the same way here that it did elsewhere. Though the buildings were old, as soon as Zed entered the broken hospital, things were not as they seemed. All around, different stages of decay were seen: a coffee-pot sat upon the counter, untouched by the hand of time, while the mug next to it looked as neglected as the rest.
The more it was examined, however, the more it became clear that the level of decay lessened the higher up one went, and the closer to the west wing one was. And as one made it to the 4th floor, and approached room 415, time would feel messed with. A folder carrying papers was suspended in thin air just a few meters down the hall, and the dust seemed to stay unmoved in the air.
Inside this room was a pair of superhumans. At the bedside was a young girl named Katie. She was very pale, with nearly white hair and blue eyes, skinny and barely average height for a young woman of 19. And laying in bed was Mikey, her 18 year old brother, a tall, strong young man with blond hair and tan skin. His blue eyes were shut, but he smiled as Katie talked to him in his sleep.
"I went out again today, bud. The press is still scared to come here, so you're fine, and they obviously still can't track me. Heh. But when I went out, I found something that might wake you up. See, the government knows many superhumans went into comatose states after the killing of that green bug monster, and I broke in to steal some juicy intelligence. They have a cure that is already working at waking others up. I'm going to grab it tomorrow night when they're transferring it by truck to a field hospital. Normally, the stuff isn't cheap. But I'm going to get it for you, okay?"

(Yeah. XD Me too!) (Just playing around with a little colour. I gave Ollie so many colours I don't know what to give Blink. XD Just tell me if they are hard to read.)
Blink strode into the old hospital, taking note of the strange sights. He could only conclude there must be some someone living here. Perhaps someone of unnatural ability. He'd come across plenty of powered people hiding away in old dumps like this. Upon examination, he noticed a change in the amount of decay, so he investigated further. It brought him to the 4th floor. He eyed the floating folder, feeling his suspicions were confirmed. Stepping forwards through the stagnant dust, he was about to reach for the folder when he heard someone speaking. He stepped away from the folder and closer to room 415, listening to her words from out of view, to one side of the door. As she spoke, his eyes were drawn back to the suspended folder. He walked back to it, attempting to pluck it from the air, and flip through its pages. If this was what he thought it was... It might be all he needed to get Hornet the cure she needed.

(Okie dokie!)
"I'll be right back, bud. The one thing useful about your power is how I can leave things hanging around, like it's space or something." She giggled, and suddenly, she was right at the door. No walking from her sitting place to the doorway. Her eyes widened as she set her gaze upon Blink. From behind her back she pulled out a large rifle. It seemed to be older, an ornate white with carvings all over. But it was much too big to have simply hiding behind her. Some sort of ability. "You! Who are you?"

Blink heard her farewell, and slapped the file closed. There was no time to look at it now. He was about to make a run for it when she appeared at the door instantaneously. He hadn't been expecting her to move so quick, and now it was too late to run. He turned to face her and eyed her rifle, before lifting his cold blue eyes to her face. She was the one in the picture Zed showed him. There was no denying that. "You should be careful where you leave your things," Blink said, ignoring her question. He weighed the file in one hand. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were still intense.
(Eh, I'll go without colour for this. None of the colours seem to suit him.)

Shadow is OP to an extent, but it’s not really much, just phasing and stuff, she doesn’t understand her abilities too well, and probably never will.
The other character I’ll be bringing in soon will understand theirs...to an extent.)

Even so, another little flame of hope sparked to life within him. “Saving Holly?” Enix questioned, turning to look at the amalgamation with wide eyes. “How?”
“It’s easy really,” Evanesce commented, hiding behind their smile a bit as the chuckled, “She should know,” she gestured to Shadow.
“Holly is dead!” Shadow hissed, backing up with a glare, “I saw her die!” Well, that was new information, and odd. “And even if she was alive, I’m not saving her,” she snorted, “I’ve learned who she is, I can’t stand who she was, what she did. I won’t save her. She can save herself!”
Shadow’s eyes scanned the room, before falling on Ollie. “But,” she breathed in, sighing, “It’s up to you, I’m only here because of you anyways.”

(The one I’m going to introduce soon is incredibly smart, and downright creepy in some ways. Unlike Shadow, they aren’t extremely emotional, they’re more apathetic and down to Earth, to the point of a seeming neutrality. They are an amazing fighter, but not so great at relations, they’re snappy, sarcastic, and stubborn.
They’re...going to be quite unique. I’m excited to introduce them. :3.)

(Simply white seems... right.) Katie's eyes narrowed upon this new person. The initial shock had led her to nearly fire upon him, but now she realized that may have been a bad move- something about his vibe was intimidating. His confidence only constituted a trust in immense strength or powerful devotion, both of which she could relate to. "No one comes by here anymore, so you'll forgive me for using space as I see fit." With the rifle, she gestured to the papers. "That is something I need, hand it over."
