More Meteor Showers Bring Even Stranger Powers. (O/A)

Kerana

Kerana nodded at Deora's idea. It was better than anything she had in mind at the moment and right now Valhalla was not safe. She started following Deora, then slowed down a little when she noticed Damien wasn't with them. As soon as Damien caught up, "What were you up to?"

"I was getting a deep read of that man's mind." he said.

He took Kerana's hand, a gesture he had read about when giving heavy news.

"He knew where your parents are being kept, and so now I know. I don't know if they're alive, but we have a place to start."

Deora slowed her pace until the others caught up, then resumed her fast walk. THey would leave teh mall through one of the small, less obvious exits, head into the slums, and to her "apartment" Easy. As they speed walked, she listened in on their conversation, and tried not to shiver at the thought of the kid reading minds. "You know not to do that to us, right?" She didn't know why she asked, especially now, but she had to know.

Theo nodded. "Alright, yeah. The planes will still take a couple of hours. It is a long flight after all." He answered.

It was then that he heard the howl of the weapon Theresa fired.

"That doesn't sound like it's under control." He said a bit worried. "Don't tell me that thing can also do that. We need it kill it asap. If it's ripping off heads then I don't think it can be reasoned with."

"Hopefully that just killed the thing that was ripping heads off. One of the people we came across in the island is a meta-human that shift her body into metal and guns. Her name is Theresa, also known as Rock." She told Theo what he needed to know at the moment and planned to give him the rest of the details later.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Huh..weird name. Turning into metal and her name is Rock." Theo mumbled a bit. " Anyway, let's check it out. I know it's your job but it's hard for me to sit still when my people are being killed."  

[PixelMuse]

"Theo, it may not be a good idea to do that, unless you can make yourself invulnerable." she said as she grabbed his arm to make sure she had his full attention. "It is also my job to make sure The Head of Valhalla keeps his head." She let go of his arm. "Might I suggest we check through the shadows in case the subject is still alive."

"And you've been doing a good job. He or she has a range of 2 meters. I'm not limited by that. You couldn't take him down from a range so you've called in help from that Rock girl." Theo said but mostly to himself as he pieced together what he knew.

"Alright, let's observe first. If he's still alive kicking, I'll take his head. If that's alright with you. It's your call."  

[PixelMuse]

"In this case it's fine by me. I brought Rock to the fight with that in mind. This creature is beyond redemption. That's when I don't hold back from killing."

"As for ranged attacks, I'm not sure if it would work. He managed to block all the shadows surrounding him. He may end up simply blocking all attacks from me."

They sank into the shadows and observed from them. Wondering did Rock really finish the ghoul?

A blinding light that filled the hallway in front of her burst from the weapon accompanied a deafening howl. The eruption shook the walls. Her long pigtails fluttered backwards from the blow-back. She turned her face away from the intense heat.

The beam scorched the walls along the hallway until it met the opposite wall.

Phantom could only put Freya in front of him. He had never seen this sort of attack from Rock, and it was his undoing.

The beam engulfed the two of them. When all had cleared, Freya was kneeling on the ground while still protected by her silver aura. She was rubbing her neck tenderly as she looked down at what was left of the kid that had been manhandling her.

Phantom had shielded himself with Freya, but the incredible heat from Rock's attack had left him without arms and legs. All that was left was a smoldering mess that was trying to breath through a mask that had actually melted from the heat. His breathing was labored and shallow. His eyelids had been fused shut from the molten steel that was protecting his head. He made the odd hateful grunt every now and again. The pain was so bad that he wasn't able to produce the limbs that he was using just a moment ago.

Freya covered her mouth and nose as the aura dissipated. She had a strong stomach, but the smell of charred flesh was burning her nostrils.

"Let's start with this."

Liv immediately responded by kissing Heather's neck. There was something nagging in the back of her mind. Right....Rydia's bath. There was no way she would interrupt this thing with Heather right now so she just sent her a message through her mind. She did after all held the power of the beastmaster.

"Bath is ready, princess."

Her hands moved across Heather's back as her kissing made it's way to the dragoness's lips.

"This next part will be very familiar." Liv softly said before locking lips with her girl.

Rydia shot up in the bed as Liv's voice brought her to attention. She looked around the room quickly, confused as to how Liv was able to speak to her.

She eventually shrugged it off and took it as one of those powers she girl had. She removed the last of her undergarments and walked toward the bathroom.

Meanwhile, the steam in the shower began to build up more as Heather became further aroused. She thought quickly and transformed the claws on her hand enough so that they wouldn't injure Liv. The yellow underside of Heather's scaled hands were soft and slick from the steam. In the occlusion of the steam, Heather worked her hands around the woman she had pined for these last few months.

Rydia entered the bathroom, surprised to see that there was a pleasant steam clouding it. She removed the dirty cloth from her left eye and sank into the bathwater.

It didn't take long for her ears to twitch and catch onto what was going on inside the shower. She simply smiled and let the warm water ease her sore joints.

The Count of Monte Carlo

"Gidge," He pulled her back to him, touching his lips to her forehead before pulling back again, "I can't be miserable anywhere I'm with you. As long as I can see your smile, I don't care where I am. I know I haven't been myself lately, but it isn't Valhalla. It's that I haven't had anything to do. I went from running from my past every day, to settling down with someone from that past who loves me. It's like cabin fever, I didn't know what to do with myself. I have no where I need to run, nothing I need to run from, I have all I could ever need or want, and I don't know what to do with it. Once I get that figured out, I'll be back to my old self. Well, maybe not my old self, but less broody."

His confident half-smile showed itself a little as he looked into her eyes, and he moved a hand down to carress her belly. "I'm not just sticking around ebcause it's the right thing to do, I'm sticking around because I can't see myself anywhere but next to you."

Gidget's lip quivered. She had been so stupid. She didn't trust Ako enough to tell him, and here he was pledging himself to her and their unborn child. She dropped her forehead onto his shoulder and placed her hands atop his.

"I'm so sorry you had to find out like this. I should have told you much sooner. You're so good to me. I can't wait for our baby to meet you."

The walls shook from the blast and Gidget swiftly clung to Ako.

"What the hell was that?!"

It was only then that she noticed the alarms sounding off.

"Have they been going off since we woke up?!" she asked, surprised.

Deora slowed her pace until the others caught up, then resumed her fast walk. THey would leave teh mall through one of the small, less obvious exits, head into the slums, and to her "apartment" Easy. As they speed walked, she listened in on their conversation, and tried not to shiver at the thought of the kid reading minds. "You know not to do that to us, right?" She didn't know why she asked, especially now, but she had to know.

Damien looked at Deora and nodded

"I do now. A month ago I was informed of how intrusive it is after doing similar things my father does. You needn't worry."

Kerana

Damien's eyes shot open from the sudden hug. He blushed while he looked confused and lost for words. He had never been hugged by any other woman aside from his mother. It made him feel, strange.

After taking a moment to recompose himself, he increased his pace to catch up to the others.  

[Nova Blancke]

Heathers hands felt a bit odd....but not unpleasant. But like hers....Liv's hands weren't staying in one place either. She made sure to explore Heather's body now that she could.

The wet blonde bombshell pulled back from the kiss slightly.

"I'd love to keep this up but we do need to actually...ya know.. shower and stuff." Liv said softly. She made a small step forward fully pressing herself against Heather's naked body. Only in order to reach the soap. Afterwards she took a bigger step back to see what she was holding.

"But don't worry....I'll wash every nook and cranny." She said as she proceeded to clean her girl. Her hands staying on the more sensitive area's a fair bit longer than needed however.

Phantom had shielded himself with Freya, but the incredible heat from Rock's attack had left him without arms and legs. All that was left was a smoldering mess that was trying to breath through a mask that had actually melted from the heat. His breathing was labored and shallow. His eyelids had been fused shut from the molten steel that was protecting his head. He made the odd hateful grunt every now and again. The pain was so bad that he wasn't able to produce the limbs that he was using just a moment ago.

Freya covered her mouth and nose as the aura dissipated. She had a strong stomach, but the smell of charred flesh was burning her nostrils.

After Trinity and Theonis observed what remained of Rock's target she thought the coast was clear. To get a closer look at the situation. She gave Theo her helmet and showed him how to put it on. "Trust me the smell of burnt flesh isn't one that's easy to get used to."

Once Theonis had the helmet on they emerged from a shadow not far from the Phantom. Trinity had gotten used to the stench of burnt flesh due to all the battles she fought some of which involved pyro meta humans. Despite that it wasn't one she looked forward to, no where near as pleasant as a BBQ.

Theresa's arms steadily returned to normal after the beam dissipated. She struggled to keep her eyes open as the weapon she had just produced required a lot of her own energy to make work. Her powers were essentially tapped for the time being.

She slowly approached Freya and Phantom as Trinity and Theonis emerged from the shadows. She looked over to them and said, "You should finish him off. I can't make weapons anymore."  

[PixelMuse]

Trinity's eyes glowed and she said "Gladly…" She thought it poetic justice as her shadow manipulation created a blade of an ax that beheaded him from underneath his neck. She didn't want to give the ghoul another moment… the longer they would wait the more he would get adapted to his current condition the more likely the threat would return shortly only more chaotic with the lack of sight.
