(Aw thanks! Happy Easter to all of you as well. To Sam. To Chaos. To Broken. ^^)
"I'd like you to look out for Waro, or Blink as you know him. He needs friends at his side. And from what I've heard," Zed tapped his ear with a smirk. "You're a pretty good fighter." Having bugged Waro's Blink costume, particularly the goggles, Zed had access to all that had been said the night before.

She blushed a bit, brushing away her hair. "Thank you. I'd be happy to. I'd he to know of my job description? Or am instead judt his 'partner' as far as he knows?"

"Tell him I've got a new job for him, and give him this." A rather mischievious look crossed Zed's face, as he passed her a folded piece of paper. "And if he asks why you're there, just tell him that I sent you. The paper will do the rest."

She took and slid the paper into her pocket inside her coat. "Well, okay. Anything else I should know or have?" Hornet asked.

"One last thing." Zed pulled out a glass tablet. "Put your hand here," he instructed, turning it, so her hand would easily fit on the pad.

Corona waved, and her mother did too. They walked off talking. X-X-X-X-X For Enix and 13(or anyone?) Samandriel : Two figures ran through the building, eyes wide. It was weeks after the occurrence with the eclipse, and soon when the group would leave for Paris and then the kingdom. Yet a grin was wore by the two masked people. One resembled a cat, a girl. The other a wolf, a male. They ran out of the building, undetected, it seemed, with rich technology that could be considered dangerous in backpacks. The girl laughed, her skin pale, her hair black, with two buns and the other hair laid out spiked. Her hair seemed about shoulder length, and her eyes were a vibrant blue color. Her outfit was made up of a black skirt and shirt overlay, with an underlay of grey. Wristbands and other light armor covered her in dark blue hue. She had a choker as well, with a golden bell hanging off. Tying to buns, were two dark blue ribbons, which had two tails on them, and an added part that covered the buns, like ears would. The tail was made up the same, of dark blue ribbon. The boy had dark red-brown hair, with black tips, and eyes of a light yellow color. For ears, he had faux wolf ears, and also had a mask on his face. He had a similar tail, and his outfit was composed of greys, whites, and blacks. He had a golden bell that covered ribbons of grey that crossed over his chest. Together, the two jumped. Racing away from the crime they committed, snickering as the alarms finally went off. (My antihero characters :3.) (Finally on my computer!) Almost a full minute of escaping later, when they were just beginning to lower their guard, a laser vaporized the asphalt in front of them. Immediately following that 13 landed, covered head to toe in his suit and geared for a fight. "Hi there. So, this weird thing happened where I was in my armor, prepping it for travel, when I noticed two delinquents racing off with a stash of stolen goods. Crazy how these coincidences happen."

A line of light travelled up and down on the tablet underneath Hornet's hand. When the screen turned green, Zed pulled it back and flicked a few things around with his finger. "There. Now you can leave or enter my lab any time you like. Some doors, anyways." He paused, wincing and holding his ear. He slid the tablet into one of his larger pockets, and walked towards the exit. He pressed his hand on a pad beside the door. "Just remember. Don't tell anyone about this place. Trust me, it wouldn't turn out good for either of us." The heavy metal door lifted, revealing the hall they first entered and an irritated Waro waiting at the other end.

Zed smiled, and did a little farewell salute. "I guess so. Probably in a month or so. Good luck!"
Finally! The elevator-like closet was finally coming down. Zed must have delayed it somehow, which meant he must have something planned. Waro didn't trust this one bit.

Hornet caught up to him and held out the note. "I believe he wanted my to give you this." She said, as they entered the elevator together.

The boy grinned, the bells the two wore were a glowing yellow color.
The girl had wide eyes, but grinned as she stopped.
Indigo Wisp followed close behind 13, glaring at the boy. Her gaze narrowed slightly, βThat must be Anubis,β she explained to 13. βHeβs the one that stole the yellow crystal from Arien,β she added in a whisper.
Arien had told the group days before that a man in a wolf costume had stolen the yellow crystal from him, he was frantic. Holly reported spotting the girl just later after the conversation. She mentioned to Enix and 13 and the others that the girl was a frightening sight, that Holly had originally seen her and Anubis fighting, but they banded together soon afterwards. Robin reported spotting them as well, even talking to them at one point in her civilian form, she mentioned that they saved her from being hit by a car that was going too fast. So the group had deduced that these new people were anti-heroes.
Anubis in question narrowed his eyes, a retractable flail rested on his back, and he raised an eyebrow at the two. Unimpressed it seemed. The girl beside him, she had two sheaths of double daggers hidden under the ribbon tail she wore. She had a grin on her face, a fiery glint in her eyes.

"Alright, let's be clear, you two. I'm in full-body armor and can shoot lasers. You're carrying melee weapons. See the disparity?" Always out to make peace, 13.
(I had an idea, if you'd hear it. I had thought about Carnal, and realized he needs his doppleganger to really make sense. He, and this other being made exactly like him, are brothers of sort. One is following the programming their creator had made- to absorb more and more biomass in order to become a more powerful lifeform. That is the evil one. The other is Carnal, who consumes only as much as he needs to live. If one were to absorb the other, the fusion would create a being nearly unstoppable. Even if you can't sense energy, can't gauge one's power- you'd feel his presence. And so, a mini plot later might be the gang attempting to stop Evil Carnal (whom I've adopted the name Cyto) from absorbing Carnal. Obviously they'd have to be introduced to Carnal, see him as a friendly, and hear his explanation and such about his brother... etc.)

(Oh I like that :3.)
The girl chuckled slightly now, walking closer to 13, βNo, I donβt think you quite get it.β She shrugged, βIβve seen what you all can do, itβs really impressive, and letβs be clear. We donβt want to hurt anyone either. But we have our reasons.β She simply said, voice soft. She then stood up straight, she was still short, but she laughed slightly, not evilly, just mischeviously. βAnd, my friend here, Anubis, had quite the spell for that crystal. Did you know crystals can be split and the power can be absorbed into objects? This bell her,β she flicked it, smiling at its tinkle, βIs part of the crystal of yellow.β
Indigo Wisp looked blankly at the girl, then the boy, who simply shrugged.
The boy then sighed, βI can perform spells, yes, so while the whole laser thing is cool, we both have parts of the yellow crystal, and I think you should understand what exactly that means?β
The girl snickered, raising an eyebrow, βPlus, if you know what we just stole, you would understand the weapons arenβt just normal melee weapons, 13.β
Indigo backtracked, eyes wide, this girl must have been spying on them if she knew their names.

13 kept his confidence as best he could. "That's quite a treat. If we do come to blows, I might actually enjoy myself. So how about this- You and Indigo can sit, and whoever wins between me and your puppy gets to walk away?" If they were to fail otherwise, both he and Enix would be out of it. But in this case, they might escape, but she could follow them, perhaps even clean up whatever mess was left.
(Thank you! ^^)

The girl grinned, βHow about this, you leave Anubis to Enix, and I fight you instead?β She questioned, looking towards Indigo Wisp who had wide eyes.
Indigo looked terrified to be exact, βShe knows my identity.β She whispered, eyes wide. βShe can go after our friends,β
Anubis sighed, βWe have no interest in you or your friends. You stay out of way, we stay out of yours. And we donβt plan on exposing you either, if thatβs what you think. To be honest, we could care less about your identities.β He shrugged, βAnd honestly, you are both being very brash. We do have motives, you know. Isnβt that right, Bastet?β
Bastet, the girl, rolled her eyes, βLike they would care. Itβs selective to them, and either way, they are both obviously lawful goodie-two-shoes.β Her eyes glanced at 13, βSo, want to dance?β It was her way of asking if he really wanted to fight with her.

13 smirked. Despite the obvious goading, he couldnt say no- letting them go wasnt an option. He only hoped Anubis would simply watch, as would Enix. There was no reason for her to get hurt. "Bring it, kitty." He murmured, raising his gauntlets in a boxing position.

Bastet deadpanned at the nickname, but shrugged.
Anubis sat down, snickering slightly, but calming down. He had no intentions of getting involved with this.
Indigo looked at Anubis, sitting down as well, βSo, do you guys know each otherβs civilian sides? You guys seem to know everyone elseβs so well.β
Anubis shrugged, βI donβt know hers, not yet. She started off as an enemy actually. She wanted the yellow crystal for herself, said I stole it and had no right to. I explained that I seen the boy I stole it from accept another crystal from a girl. Then Hanahaki attacked us, and we handed together,β he simply said, like it made a ton of sense.
βHanahaki?β Indigo asked in confusion. But they both turned to watch the fight.
Bastet flicked her bell, and set her bag down by Anubis. She grabbed out her decorative, but sharp looking black double daggers. She pressed a button, though, the the blades seemed to retract slightly, making them much less deadly. More dull, but still dangerous when used correctly. But she didnβt attack, she just waited.

Waro opened and closed his mouth, as she came and offered the note. Standing in the elevator, and casting Hornet suspicious glances, he opened the note. His eyes narrowed as he concentrated on the words Hey Blink, I have a new job for you. I'd like you to look after Hornet. As you've experienced, she's had that mark on her head two times now. We have to make sure it doesn't happen again. As she's my new employee, I'm responsible for her. That means you are responsible for her as well. Remember, You still owe me. _ Your thoughtful friend and generous boss, Zed
Your thoughtful friend? Yeah right! Waro crunched up the paper and stuffed it into his pocket. Zed just didn't want to worry about another person in his man cave, and so he decides to pass on his burdens to him. How generous. How did he even know that the mark appeared two times? Had he mentioned it while he was in the lab? He really shouldn't wonder about these things. Zed always seemed to know more than he should. Waro had finished reading the note just in time. The elevator went dark, as it rose into the closet of the old farmhouse. When it stopped, Waro threw open the door, revealing the old farmhouse's interior in all its dusty splendour. The broken windows and gaps in the roof provided plenty of light.

(Oh yeah, Sam. What color eyes does 13 have?
Also for the mains of the tiny group(currently anyways). Iβm saying for the current arcs, Holly, Arien, 13, Enix, and for the art piece Iβm doing I need another girl, so Iβm leaning for Ress?
Iβm downloading silouhettes and of redecorating them with the characters in mind :3. Just for fun, I guess.)

Rosie looked up towards the voice. She remained silent, as she watched the two reunite with fascination. So this was one of Jerome's friends... They sure liked throwing weapons at him. --- A few hours of silence passed between them, and Zed returned into the room. "Here's your vision enhancers. New and enhanced. Take good care of them. This time, I want them to last," he informed Waro, gently passing the goggles over. "I'll have better quality upgrades for you in about a month, after my next exchange." Waro was just starting to check the goggles out, when Zed gave him a nod towards the exit. Waro sighed before getting up and walking out. Zed walked over to the couch where Hornet lay, and stood beside it. "How are you feeling?" he began. There was a twinkle in his eye, but he sounded more serious than he had been when they had first met. Steve jumped down and walked over to the two."So,"Steve began."You're the lucky lady."He said to Rosie.Jerome opened his mouth to retort but Steve waved his hand for silence."Well,what is that you're here for?" Jerome went into explanation and told him what had happened earlier."Wow,"Steve replied."No wonder you've come down here."

But she didnβt attack, she just waited. 13 pointed a single open palm out at her, and fired. The beam shot through the air, to blast her away with non-lethal damage. She'd have to not only be quick, but cunning enough to dodge this blast and the follow-up ones. (I believe I said blue much, much earlier on? So yeah, blue)

"He said that if you asked, he sent me with you on... whatever this is." She smiled back. Then, she replaced her helmet/mask and sheathed Nail, her blade. "So, what is it we're doing?" (I love how Zed has them contractually obligated to watch each other's backs now, lol. Good guy nerd.)

Bastet seemed to expect this, with the abilities of enhanced senses and speed, she easily dodged it, jumping past much like a cat. With grace, and rolled along the ground, using itβs momentum to boost herself up, and as she ran, she paired the ends of her double daggers together, making a type of staff. She swung out, very fast as she did so, towards his legs. The weapon would only do the damage a staff would now, and just as quickly as she attacked did she pounce back.

He kicked out, trusting his armor to take the blow. Then, he followed up with another volley of blasts, with both hands. He may not have the precision of a marksman, but enough lasers, and surely one would land- that was his plan, anyway.

Bastet flipped through, her armor took some of the blows, but still a few singed her, causing a soft hiss to escape. Yet her real worry was when it skidded past her hair. She formed a shield then, a magic one, of a matching blue hue to her eyes. When the attack was done, she grinned, βYou know,β she said, voice dripping with venom now, βYou should try harder than that, Totem.β
She lunged back into the attack, shield fading. It seemed the technology she had was magic. With a light blue glow to her double dagger staff, she slashed out, leaving a blue trace and bolt heading his way. Her agility seemed high, as she jumped up, slashing again at him.

Rosie blushed and smiled a little, having little understanding at what Steve was getting at. She was lucky to have Jerome as a friend? She supposed that made sense. After explanations were shared, she took a step forwards, making sure not to step on any mushrooms. "Do you think you could help us pass it on? We don't want more people to get hurt by them." --- (Yeah, thanks! :3 I guess Zed kind of is a nerd of sorts.)
Zed sighed after the door closed. "Now I'm gonna be craving a home-cooked meal for weeks..." he muttered, walking off to work on another one of his projects. - Waro pulled his mask back on and put his goggles back in place. "We are going back to the city after a few stops." He exited the farmhouse, and began to manoeuvred the junkyard. "Don't touch anything," he warned, even though he knew she must have gotten in without messing up. Once he stepped through the fence, he didn't stop to help her through. "How did you follow me, anyways?"

Steve nodded."The people I work with have all sorts of characters.They'll be more than happy to warn their suppliers."
Jerome looked around at the building."I would like to point out that Tex is alive.I'll explain later but for now,we need to find somewhere to sleep."
Steve gestured around the building."There's a room to the left of the giant mushroom that hasn't been touched so it's safe to sleep in if you want."
