Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a few moments, the elevator finally reached the top floor. Edel stepped out of the elevator once the door slid open and stepped out into the hallway.
Sure enough, the room was impossible to miss. The door was completely missing at this point, and there was an 'off limits' sign hanging across the frame. Easily ducking under the sign, she walked in through the broken doorway and stopped a few feet away from the entrance to look around the room. It looked fairly untouched. A clean room with the exception of the door and the bit of unmade bed that she could see from her position. Anything that had been left in the room had probably been taken away by now. She could ask about that later if she really wanted.
Right now though, it was time for a little psychometry and psychic vision.

She stood there a moment longer, a rather focused expression on her face. Very slowly, she began walking towards the couch. She paused there a moment, her expression falling a bit. From what she could see, it was definitely the spider. And...the man looked far too much like Richard to be mistaken for anyone else. She didn't need to use full psychometry now that she was sure of who they were. She'd just get the gist of things.
Time alteration going on. There had to be. Unless of course, these were like alternates of the same people. There wouldn't be this much friendliness between these two if they were from her time and place. Heck, neither of them would be acting the way the appeared right now.
She then made her way over to the table at about the same pace. She paused there a moment, letting her fingers rest on the corner of the table, then glanced over towards the bathroom for a moment. Her eyes soon trailed over to a small spot on the floor that was in view of the bathroom doorway. After another moment's pause, she slowly made her way towards the bathroom doorway. She paused there again, her expression falling just a bit more, then made her way over towards the couch. She paused there a moment, then let her fingers sit on the armrest.
She stood there a moment, staring at the couch, her expression slowly falling even more. Then her expression fell completely and she looked almost as disgusted as she had felt in the cab. She jerked her hand away from the couch and muttered something under her breath. She paused a moment, then glanced into the bedroom and at the still unmade sheets.

Visibly livid, she made her way towards the bathroom to wash up a bit. Get her mind on something else now. She was NOT expecting to find out something like that. She suddenly stopped once her hand touched the doorknob, and her eyes widened. After a moment, she hissed something under her breath and jerked her hand away. What the ****?! The woman was pregnant?! ....how did...

You know what...she didn't want to know. She just didn't want to know. She'd seen enough.
Spinning on her heels, she stormed towards one of the chairs in front of the TV. She avoided the couch all together, not wanting to touch it again until it had been THOROUGHLY cleaned. That went for the bed as well.
Still muttering something incoherent under her breath, she less than gracefully plopped herself into the seat. The TV instantly kicked on the moment she sat down.
She sat there and glared at the TV as it began flipping through the channels seemingly by itself. He clicked and flicked her fingernails together, a habit she had for when she was irritable and ready to tell someone off. OH she was mad now. She wanted to kill him. She really did. But she had absolutely no right to, and she knew that. Time alteration. Had to be time alteration. That's the only thought she could use to try and calm herself down. But the girl's stomach...they hadn't been here that long, had they? No...no. Her powers only went back so far, so it was recent. Really recent. She'd find out what was going on after she had a nice conversation with...
Then a commercial came on for the Iceberg Lounge. Edel stopped her silent tantrum just long enough to pay attention to the commercial. She stared at the TV for a few moments, even after the commercial was over.
Well....suppose she could spend the evening elsewhere. Try and calm herself down now that she'd gotten herself worked up. Perhaps spend the evening with someone else for a bit of instant and slightly vindictive gratification. Come back in the morning after the room had been fixed up for her. And cleaned. She'd have to stress that before she left.
Sighing, she stood and straightened herself out. She then moved to pick up the phone, but paused a moment and glanced back at the couch. She held her hand out a moment, and a rather large sapphire that had fallen under the couch floated out and into her hand. She stared at it a moment, then picked up the phone with her other hand and called the desk downstairs.
She asked that a limo be waiting for her outside, and that the room be fixed up and cleaned as thoroughly as it possibly could be. Everything. Every piece of furniture. As she spoke, she kept her eyes on the sapphire that she had held up in the light in front of her.


EXIT to ICEBERG LOUNGE

[Enter from the Museum]

The Ghost had parted from his delightful encounter with Barbara, "Definately a woman worth knowing... Ah... Now back to work."

Russell made his way to an abandoned electrical plant to see if it would suffice as his new lair.

Russell acquired the power plant with little fuss. A man named Daggett tried to take over the bid; however, Russell 'leaked' Daggett's blackmail attempt to the Feds to keep Daggett busy and to clear the sale to a shell corporation called "Setec Astronomy."

The Ghost enter his new property, and with a thought, he started to bring the power plant to life. Russell extrended his hands to the now operational power grid, "Now, let's see what I can really do!"

Arcs of electricity flowed between the grid and the Ghost's hands, "I'm wired. I can feel everything! All the cities, the system, the network is coursing through my viens -- at my control! I can see and feel everything!! I am everything!!!"

Scarlet Witch

Wanda sat by the bed of her leader. She had got some clothes to fit in a little better. She had brought clothes for Magneto. She sat by his bed most night and day. She tried to think of someone that could help. It was on the second day the doctor came in and asked for a blood sample to see if she was compatable for a blood transfusion or something. It was mostly a blur and she was tenative. She didn't know what to do. She had said she was his daughter. She quickly snapped into full form. "My...my mother...he might not be my father...by blood..." she mummbled out as she started to cry. They came back a few hours later to take a sample. It was hours after they checked it that she found herself staring at him. He was after all her father. She stared at him. She could barely even see him. She was so confused and amazed and just otterly lost in her own confusion. Did he know? Is that why he was there for her? Is that why he kept her so close? She rolled her fingers on his table as she was lost in her what ifs. She wanted so badly for him to get up. For him to wake up and tell her what he knew about her and them.

[enter Dr. Kirk Langstrom from DC Universe]

Dr. Langstrom had been behaving very strangely lately. He hadn't been eating as often. He slept less. He worked at home all the time, on only God knew what, for what anyone knew, including his wife. He seemed to stare off into space all the time, responding to nothing. The strangest thing of all, though, was that he was forever in a tuxedo, with a matching top hat.

ENTER from Iceberg Lounge


Danny drove sped down the streets of Gotham on his custom built bike, his two friends for the night safely behind him. The apartment he had told them about that was located within the city wasn't that far away at all now. But...it had been a while since he'd been with good company. Or out for a ride in general for that matter. He might as well take the long way around and enjoy himself for a while.
To be honest, he had no idea what the place was like he was taking the girls to. He just knew that it wasn't permeated with an aura of sin and filth like some of the other places around he had sensed. He didn't want anything happening to these two girls in the event that he wanted some company again one night. He knew when he got back home, he'd have quite a bit on his plate. Considering he was now sharing it with a LOT more people than he was used to.
