"Stop it, I know people cause harm to the Earth and it isn't right, but do you think harming others is the way to get what you want?" Evelle asked, she wasn't in vigilante form, and she wasn't too confident about using her powers so publicly. This might come down to her hand on hand fighting, which surprisingly, she was very good at. "Next time, don't knock him out. Be a little more compassionate," she said.
(I'm changing Evelle's stats some guys, be back soon.)

"He's not hurt," Wallflower scoffed, "And I am compassionate. Anything that harms the environment harms humans too- they forget that they also rely on this planet." She pointed at the man on the ground. "I'm saving him from himself." She had no problem in knocking someone out, ruining a few cars, or even shutting down factory operations if it meant preventing mankind's self-destruction. Nature would find a way to return and reach equilibrium again after humans were gone, but mankind wouldn't. Wallflower was simply trying to help the two forces live in harmony, as they did in her.

"I get that lady, but you can't go around playing hero and knocking people out." Evelle said, crossing her arms. "Yes mankind destroys the Earth, but people that protect the Earth, like you and I, by doing what we can to help the plants, they aren't listened too. If you want to help, next time, pick it up yourself instead of littering the floor with a man." Evelle said sternly. Who could blame her, she did have broken trust in others after all.

Wallflower grimaced and her eyes began to glow once more. "I don't need to explain myself, and I don't answer to you, whoever you are." She turned and began to walk away, and in every footstep small weeds like clover and touch-me-nots grew up within the grass, caused by the presence of her plant magic right underneath her skin.

Right after changing into her "vigilante suit", Hensley made her way up the emergency fire exit ladder and onto the roof. Of course she could've used the stairs, but she didn't want anyone from her apartment building see her. Obviously. With her brown combat boots that laced up her calves, her fishnet stockings, her golden roman-styled short tunic (that could easily be assembled into a parachute, whip, or romper), to her flower crown and golden mask, she looked strikingly similar to a modern goddess. Which was exactly what she was going for. What others didn't know, was that there was a thin layer of protective padding covering every inch of her that was covered. It wasn't exactly bulletproof, just enough to protect her from a knife stab.
As she stood on the roof, something caught her eyes. Vine covered cars? She didn't remember doing that. Unless she did something in her sleep again... Hensley shook her head. She didn't want to risk being seen in public. She preferred to come out at night - or at the earliest - dusk.
[[ Wallflower and Hensley will either be best friends or best enemies :3 ]]

(Sorry I wasn't really on yesterday. My sleep schedule is horrible right now. Trying to fix that lol.)
During the argument Evelle and the mysterious plant girl, Norina had ran over to check out the man's condition. She had basic medic knowledge and experience (which made it easier to heal with her powers), and from the looks of things, he really was just unconscious. She slipped in a low dose of healing just in case, but made sure to do it when neither of the others watched. Her healing gave off a golden aura, so it'd be obvious she used a power. She would not let someone find out, but she wouldn't let someone suffer, either. This was the best she could do, given the situation. "All that over a simple piece of trash? I'd hate to see what would happen if someone threw a whole pile of garbage on the ground." It was partially a joke, but not completely; that ability seemed terrifying on a larger scale.

Evelle nodded, and walked off behind a tree, out of view, her physical form dispersing as she phased into a shadow. Quick walking through the shadow dimension to transport into a bathroom, forming into her normal form once more. She quickly changed into her vigilante suit, and masked her normal persona. Walking out and looking at the girl once more, she looked at the man, as if she was alarmed and hadn't seen it, and made a mental note. She looked at Wallflower, a growl in her throat, "You shouldn't harm the citizens." she said, holding back a mischievous grin.
(So all light and darkness based characters have the ability of shadow/light transportation where they change into a being of light or shadow and walk through the respective dimension. I'm allowing more because I think Evelle having a shadow buddy could be cool.)

Watching Evelle run off puzzled Norina, but she felt too worried about the man to care. Nobody should be knocked unconscious for something so minor! She managed to get the man over to a bench, though it was difficult; Norina wasn't cut out for heavy lifting, such as an entire person. A few moments later, a voice started speaking, causing her to turn around in an instant. Another person in a costume. Hopefully someone to help!
A small, golden tabby cat wandered through the alleys, peeking out at the busy streets. Lots of poeple out today, no surprise. Larson preferred taking the appearance of a cat when he looked around for anything eventful; it was easy to go around unnoticed. Although, having a pair of goggles hanging around his neck as if some sort of collar didn't help that; it let people know he "had an owner," as they commonly assumed, but people would gush about how cute he was. So annoying. Though, it was amusing to find the rare person who knew who he really was when seeing those goggles; Blitz, an anti-hero who could turn into any mammal he wanted to. Not everyone liked his methods of fighting; sure, he didn't hurt anyone who was innocent, but he couldn't care less if property got damaged. They were material objects; they weren't special in the slightest. Not compared to the life of a living being, that's for sure. Regardless, today had been... boring. Just people, people, more people. Crimes had broke out here and there, but none that Blitz could be bothered to tackle; official heroes would take care of them anyways.

(From my understanding, an anti-hero is a hero with unconventional traits (this is referring to personality), while a vigilante is someone who takes matters into their own hands because they don't trust the local authorities to do things properly. So they're... similar, in a way. But that's going off of the actual definitions. I'm not entirely sure how it works in this RP specifically, so... a good question, really.
Uhhh you could respond to Blitz's post that I did, if you want? It was kind of a starter for him; didn't make it for anyone specific.)

[[ Oh, makes sense! I might make Hensley an anti hero then I guess but I'll still look into it. ]]
Val, oblivious to the world and deep in his thoughts, passed by the vine covered cars without a second glance. But he did double back when he saw a cute golden cat in the alleyway. "Aw, it's adorable," he cooed and began to creep towards it. "Here, kitty," he whispered as he quickly bent down to pick it up, not giving it a chance to escape. This is what super speed was meant for. "You kind of look like my neighbor's last cat, she practically killed herself over losing him," he mumbled as he squinted his eyes at the cat. Unfortunately he forgot his glasses and couldn't really tell. He then noticed something hanging around its neck. "Oh, you got stuck in garbage? Here, let me help." The clueless teen began to take off the goggles.

(( I put Wallflower as a vigilante cause she definitely takes matters into her own hands with the whole stopping cars and factory production lol ))
Wallflower wasn't prepared to stay and confront the new person, but she did eye the girl warily over her shoulder. "People throw piles of garbage on the ground every week. It's called trash day." She could sense a change in the man, and knew immediately that the newcomer was healing him- not that he needed healing, but he would wake up sooner due to it. She looked around and realized the original girl had disappeared. The trees whispered, and she listened closely. When one of the city's "superheroes" showed up, Wallflower giggled. "The trees told me your secret, shadow-walker. No need to repeat yourself."

(@ Hazel: Yeah, I'd wait for Webdew to give the official word on how they're different, since she owns the RP and all. Take my earlier explanation with a grain of salt, really.)
Blitz let out a growl when he was caught. That kid was fast! But, he didn't struggle; not right away. The boy probably just wanted to pet him for a bit, then let him go... Hopefully. That was, until the kid tried calling his goggles trash. That struck a nerve. He unsheathed his claws, lightly digging them in to try and free himself, but not deep enough to draw blood. He also bit into his goggles to make sure they couldn't be taken away from him; he had these for a reason! They were the most important part of his costume!

(Hey Snow...that's kind of pushing it... She shouldn't be able to sense powers and know who everyone is, I kind of wanted Evelle's secret identity to stay secret for a while...)
(Plus, the ability of sensing people would be an empath or minor physic...so her being able to talk to trees should not let her know who everyone is, especially without their consent. Plus she wouldn't be able to even sense healing abilities unless they occurred to her. I don't mind you having her find things out with peoples consent, or if it's a major plot point. But I do mind you doing it without to multiple people, especially one that doesn't fit with her power.
Also, Evelle only phase changed into a shadow by the tree, not change into her normal outfit, that was in a bathroom, so technically that doesn't even fit. I ask in the future to be better about this and ask first.)

Val winced as he felt the cat prick him. "Bad kitty," he scolded. Realizing that the cat wasn't going to let go of whatever it was holding, he gave up with a sigh. It was too adorable. "We're going back to your owner, she's going to give me a raise which I deserve because I got thrown down the stairs by a five year old twice..." he trailed off with a grimace. "And to think that having special abilities would help with babysitting at all," he mumbled as he continued to walk out the alleyway. He suddenly stopped and looked around. Maybe if he flew over there, the cat would have less time to tear him apart. It was starting to hurt...

(So, a Vigilante is someone who does what is right because they do not a) Like working with others, Have someone to work with, c) do things on their terms, or d) do not trust others to do the job correctly. Anti-heroes have different reasons, such as a) do what they want and take what they want, breaking the law or not, but aren't villains, work with villains occasionally, or work with heroes, c) do what they think is right, that means they could work with either. Anti-villains are literally the same thing, except they are more like vigilantes.)

Blitz let up on his grip when the boy finally gave up trying to take away his goggles. Though, the idea of having an owner; he'd laugh if he could. Ridiculous! He may as well let this guy do what he wants, for the time being. Whatever woman Blitz was being delivered to, she'd realize in an instant that he wasn't the right cat, and then Blitz could go on his way back to scouting. Well, that was the plan, until he heard the phrase 'special abilities.' That sparked an interest. That speed the kid used earlier... it was a little too fast to be true, but... No, Blitz wouldn't worry about it. It was interesting, but not that interesting. For now, he'd bide his time.

Luckily for him, Val always kept his mask on him. Weirdly enough, it was more important to him than his glasses. It was a great day to forget his contacts as well. It was simply ridiculous how no one recognized him in that mask, it was just an annoying firetruck red that barely covered half of his face. Plus, it wasn't like he was wearing his supersuit anyways... Val shrugged to himself. He could just get rid of the clothes he was wearing - it wasn't like he liked them. Okay, maybe the jeans. The sweatshirt was pretty cool too. And the sneakers cost a lot. He sighed. Being a superhero was all about sacrifices. "Alright kitty," he muttered as he shifted the cat onto his left arm while sticking his mask on with his right. "Hope you don't get airsick." Val held the cat tightly as he shot himself into the air. Hovering above the city, he squinted trying to find his house.

(( Wallflower's power is literally talking to plants and Evelle shadow traveled through trees' shadows. She's not planning on exposing Evelle, just wanted to let her know that she knows what's going on. She has magic healing like Norina, so I figured she should be able to sense when magic healing is happening but I can change that. Also, your definitions for anti-hero and vigilante are switched, anti-heroes are good guys with unconventional traits like they can't work well with teammates or they're mean/moody and such, vigilantes do what they want, sometimes break the law, and are neutral but can work with either side on different occasions. Ex. Zuko from atla was an anti-hero, Billy the Kid was a vigilante))

(Well...not really. I'm keeping the definitions the way they are. And no, she should not know who Evelle is. I'm not arguing on that, she transported(Shadow transported) into the bathroom, therefor the tree's could not know.
"a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate."-Google definition of vigilante.
"a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes."-Google definition on Anti-hero. Anti-heroes also are known for being selfish too. I'm keeping my definitions the same. No arguments over this, in this RP, that's how things will be.
