Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Liz had handed over the many knives that she had had on her body before moving toward the car with Zack. they stopped a few yards short and said, "Excuse, are you 'The Manager'?" Liz asked fairly strait forwardly. "We were wondering if we could ask you a few questions about what happened yesterday night." JJ swung his club once more and sent a ball far into the river, a decent showing. He spoke as he swung. "Cheeseburger! Damn that was a nice one. Sure I don't mind entertaining the kiddies. Shoot." "For what purpose did the villain Belial go there that night? And why did he destroy the building? What was the vigilantes Reaper and Heatstroke's part in all this. We are also trying to figure out what can be done about the sky's current condition," "That's an awful lot of questions." JJ responded casually. He hit another ball then continued. "The Spiral Tower had an interesting number of items in its vaults below ground. One being the Crimson Tear of Krona or so I'm told. I heard a mention of it a few days ago being thrown around with Ars Goetia and since Belial leads the group it's not too hard to figure out why he was there. Damnit!" The last ball he hit sliced viciously. "Come on, you're killing me!" He hopped down and turned to the clean cut man. "Ed, this car is no good, toss it into the river." Ed nodded and kicked the back of the car and it rolled off the end of the pier and landed with a huge splash in the water. JJ nodded. "Button up the owner too." JJ turned back to continue his conversaion while Ed forcfull tossed the squirrel man off the dock. "Anyway, It seems the building was knocked down in the fight by Belial. Too bad those two rat finks Reaper and Heatstroke weren't killed. As for that thing in the sky, I don't know. But the timing is awfully suspicious if you ask me. Showed up right after they got that stone." "We're part of a group that cares about stability int he world and a mountain possibly falling on a town is not necessarily a world effecting thing but what's causing it must be very powerful, and that is what really worries us the most," Liz said as she gave a glance to the strong man throwing the other man over the edge. "I see you keep good company," She said with a pursed lip. "Smart of you considering those pat downs your boys give don't check for powers." She continued, "While I can't necessarily shared your distaste in Reaper and Heatstroke living after meeting them I wouldn't mind loosening some of Reaper's teeth with my fist. The man was quite a bit tighter with his information than you. Barely told us a thing. We plan on finding out exactly how Belial or Serapheal is doing this with the crystal and stopping them, with whatever force is necessary." "Tch. Powers." JJ said as he handed the driver he had to Ed who placed it back in the golf bag that stood nearby. "Powers-smowers. The only real power is money. Cold hard cash. Think about it. You could kill me in an instant, I've no doubt about that. But if you did, the backlash you and your organization would receive for murdering a humble philantropist would certainly not be worth it. So you stay your hand. Now which one of us is more powerful?" He smirked and put on a silly grin. "I helped you because Ars Goetia's dangerous antics threaten my business, that's all. Now, if that's all you need I'm hungry and I feel like having a cheese burger." He turned and walked back toward a large warehouse Ed and golf bag following. Before he moved off Zack said, "We weren't threatening you, to be honest while we may not like everything you people do, you are at least better than the alternate, pure chaos. If we have learned one thing from our time doing what we do it's that a controlled evil that cares about its continuing existence is much better that a mad one that could care less if it died in the next instance. We may not kill you because of the turmoil it would bring and the fact that someone far worse than you could fairly easily crawl tot he top in the fray, but you know just as well to not overstep your bounds or to push your luck too much because you care for your own neck. All in all you and people like you are the lesser evil in most cases." "Besides," Liz said as Zack turned to leave," if we killed you know one would know who to blame anyway, just try and find out who we are, the proof we exist as a group won't last long before it's gone from under your nose." "And that's a promise Mr. Manager," she said as she walked away, grabbing her knives from the man who had patted her down before getting into the car.

Go on, you have work to do. Make sure I'm not disturbed." Ed nodded and walked away while JJ entered the warehouse. "Fuze. Are we ready for our little chat?"

Nova Blancke Zegura Nova Blancke Zegura Nova Blancke Zegura The girl grinned and took a swig of water, swallowing it hastily.
"I've not had a drink in some time!" She beamed.
"So, where are we heading to?" "Somewhere safe" Morrigan said with a smile and put on some relaxing music. "Whaaat? Soulja Boi? Don't you mean Soldier Boy? Akward way of naming an artist." Morrigan replied.
"I think he's much bet-"
And with that she passed out entirely, slumping down in to the chair, a faint smile on her face."Morrigan."
"It's I, Seraphael. Don't turn around." The voice was coming from the backseat, and in the rear-view mirror there was nothing but darkness.
"There is a warehouse on the bay. Meet me there. We have much to discuss. Bring the girl."
And as suddenly as he had appeared, he was gone.Morrigan had a bit of a smirk on her face after Serphael dissapeared again. "Nighty night sweetheart" she whispered to the girl and drove towards the bay which was pretty cllose by. As soon as she arrived, she got out of the car and carried the girl out of the car with a suprisingly gentle touch. As she walked away from it the car started to corrode with an incredible speed. What used to be a state of the art police car was now an old rusted, broken dump. She made sure that if the car was found there would be no traces at all left in it. When the car finished rusting she entered the warehouse. "Honey, I'm home!" she spoke just to hear her own voice echo.
"Congratulations." He smiled, motioning to the child.
"Tell me, are you ready for the next stage?" He smiled, taking the child from her and placing her down on a set of crates beside him.
"We're early ready for the next phase... but there's a problem."
"I need you to be ready to move as soon as I say so."

Inside the warehouse was a table with five chairs sitting round. A large machine stood across the table facing J.J. The thing placed its hands on the sides of a helmet, small puffs of gas and air spewed from the sides as it was removed revealing the man beneath. "I'm never to eager to have chat's with you but what you are proposing has tickled my fancy. I believe you might actually be on to something, just as shame the other's you suggested for this 'squad' are unreilable at best. Each late, and well insane. But I don't think it bother's you now does it?" Fuze replied kicking a chair at the J.J. It broke harmlessly next to him on the doors he passed through. "I've been standing here for two hours!! While you played put put on a damn car! You are the biggest-" He looked up at the lights the breathed "I'd just like some tea, perhaps a team sitting here before me so we can get to work. I don't like waiting.....not when I could be tracking my prey."

Meanwhile, in the Mayor's office:
The Gentleman looked at the boy and smiled.
"If I'm not mistaken, that fellow was attempting to murder our beloved Mayor! And as for Mayor Gold, I can only assume he's in a much safer location!" He smiled warmly, attempting to calm Danny.
"And don't worry about Mr. Elliot, young man. From my knowledge, he can handle himself more than capably!" He laugh lightly.
"Now, what do you say we get to the basement? I have a car waiting for us. We should really get to safety."
And with that, The Gentleman motioned towards a stairwell, and lead the young man down it.Danny seemed a little put off by the man's optimistic tone, but followed him anyway. The hole in his chest was almost closed up and the bleeding stopped completely. "Well, you seem to know what you're doing so I'll follow you. Better than being pushed around by the terrible two."
"Hop in, lad. We've some serious distance to cover." The Gentleman grinned.
"I think you may be a great asset to us. Let me explain our situation to you." He smiled warmly, climbing in to the car."Right." Danny replied and got into the car. "I have a question, why do you have a garage and car in the basement of City Hall?"
The Gentleman gasped suddenly, looking at Danny in awe.
"I... this... ahah, let me explain."
"This isn't my garage! I just park in it sometimes!" He chuckled nervously, hoping to god Danny was naive enough to believe what he was saying.
"I'm pretty good friends with Mayor Gold, and he said it was fine!" He winked.
"So, are you a student?" He asked, trying to change the subject.Danny gave him a sideways glance. "Yeah..."
The Gentleman was accelerating heavily, trying to get to the streets as fast as possible. He had a feeling that something bad was coming. He just didn't know what.

The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr liz_bliz_inc Liz went for one of the toothed throwing knives as fast as possibly, covering it in her aura and aiming it at the the front tire of the car. She was about to throw it when she decided better of it and instead chucked it at her feet, where it sunk through the cement to the tip of the handle before her aura faded from it. Zack also though of leaving the spikes raised to disallow them leaving so they could get clearer answers out of them, but decided it would just escalate the situation and possibly cause a fight they did not want, regardless of who won it. He led the spikes sink back into the ground the street resumed it normal smoothness as if it was freshly paved. "Ah don't be that way Ascalon, Its not me, its from Heatstroke." He looked at Arbor" Good talk sir, when you get the chance you should always check out the docks, doesn't matter which one, you'll always find help from the wrong side of the law." Reaper waved as he rolled up the window. I felt I should at least give em something. Seeing as I got information from them. "Hotpants let's roll, and first chance we get we've gotta find the gps on this b***h." Ricky nodded knowingly. "Yeah, JJ was at that party wasn't he? If they can get answers out of him instead of us that would be so much better. But why the GPS? I know where we are." "Nah man I know you know where you are, It's got to be how they found us. No one was following us. They're tracking us. So new list Remove all things from the car that aren't vintage, Get Danny, See Oz, Catch green haired Prostitute, Deal with that *points up*, Find out who those guys are. And by the way O did you noticed how I told them little to nothing so to make up for my slack they told me stuff. She's got a temper, he keeps her in check, they're looking for Belial, The man who saved him is Serapheal, they have conections to an or many individuals who can hack into things including government equipment because they came to us fast. To fast which means everyone else is completly off the grid as we should be for this thing." He nodded to her [[JJ is the mob boss guy]] Angela nodded. "Yeah, that was pretty cool." Ricky yanked something from under the dash. "Found it." He tossed the GPS out the window. "So, back to City Hall? Or what?" "Well check that off the list we'll be done before daybreak with that kinda speed there Rick. Yeah let's get to City Hall so we can get the team huddel together we need to have a chat. Oh and Drive real fast." Reaper laughed leaning back in his seat as Ricky gripped the wheel. "Seriously put your damn belt on girl!" "Hey Rick, before we started speeding off checking every teenage hangout for Danny why don't you call him?" Reaper paused and thought I've gotta get us communicators, Damn why everything so expensive I've only got two done.....I don't think I can make one that will work in heat....damn everyone makes this look so easy. I beat Arbor has a really neat communicator......... I wonder how they are getting information out in the feild who has their "Hotpants we're being watched from above. I'm gonna need you to drive like a bat outta hell to dodge sattelitle visuals. I don't like being followed brings back bad childhood memories" Reaper shook his head really fast. " O you said you live on 24 Oak, that's were....great I'm kidnapping the Chief of Polices kid. Perfect Welcome to superheroing as a child. It's worst than being a child star kid they never turn out right and we well we just..." He began rambling on to himself leaning a little out of the window

It's worst than being a child star kid they never turn out right and we well we just..." He began rambling on to himself leaning a little out of the window Meanwhile high atop the roofs of Capital a man was seated on the edge of alarge building overlooking the fair city he reached up to his ear and held it close. Coming over his com was nothing but pitiful chatter. "Kid ya gotta let that stuff go! I agreed with having a direct com device to you on the terms that it would help us organize and clean up this city not to hear you yammering on about your childhood. I told you to get some help with that." He laughed aloud to himself Reaper's voice could be heard loud and clear through his mask Sorry bout that James it's just been a bit of a day and I just got another kid to watch over. you know how it is."Not really, I told you I wouldn't try and take in ever single kid of the street and show em the ropes" It's not like that for some reason I can't find kids with talent I find meta humans its like a curse, So I assume you heard about the whole building going down"Yeah, nothing you could have done about it I've also been hearing alot of otherthings, and I'm not just talking about what I over hear from you. Ya know kid you should be nicer when people ask for information, ya neve know when they could be of use to you." Do you listen to everything that I say?"Yes. And I know you're two friends with the questions got some answers from J.J. I also know that he's planning something that's prolly gonna bite you in da a**. Kid what's the plan on the mountain any information that you got brewin in your noggin'? You are the son of-" Shut your mouth! If worst comes to worst I guess I could ask Tessa to do something but that's like when murder and chaos have taken the streets and the mountain is five inches from impact. But that's if it falls, look all I know is that we on the street level are being left out of a bigger game here, we need to get together and stop this before stuff really gets out of hand."True, not like a giant skyscrapper falling with thousands dead is getting out of hand. Next time you get an itch that you can't scratch call me don't wait for Sovereign or Tessa to ruin your groove baby. Soul out."

Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Tara was quite for a long time as she seemed to stare into space. Then she reach under her jacket's neck and pulled out a small locket on a chain and clicked it open. "He did leave me with something tough, something that carried me through the next few years and I think helped me as much as his presence did. I can't think he knew about it before he died though." In the locket were two pictures, one of two young childred about 5, a boy and girl who looked about the same age and almost exactly alike each other outside of the boy having dark, raven black hair and girl hair the color of spun golden thread. The other picture was of the same two kids, but this time older, around the age of 19 or 20." "My kids, Kyle was the only person that could have done it. I named the boy after him, and girl after my father's mother. They have so much promise, I hope they can do much more good in their life than I did. I should have seen that something was strange about my son's powers though. His mutation lets him tap into arcane energies with a natural ease that most spell casters would kill for. He can cast spells without a word or archaic motions, like magic was an extension of his own senses. He just thinks what he wants to happen and the spell forms on its own, I've been told that that is not normal by our resident mage. It seems uncanny now that I named him after his father....." Tara trailed off for a moment before she said, "Fhaytei, now I know I've heard that name before, and more than once." She did not deliberate on that statement as she turned to Chamberlain. "Thank you, I can't promise I will ever truly move past what's happened to me, it's what makes me me; but you're right, Kyle would not have wanted me to drag around my guilt with me. So, could you tell me...what was he like when you knew him? Just how much did he do for this world before he met me?" "More than I could ever say with mere words." Chamberlain said as he sat down on a bar stool. "There were many things that he wouldn't even tell me though I knew him so well. One could just...look into his eyes and see the universe. But not cold and dark, there was a warmness. Like home. The first time he met me he saved my life. I was climbing a particularly steep cliff face when I lost my grip. I fell nearly fifty feet, smashed myself up real good. Thought I was going to die out there all alone. Then Kyle came. He patched me up and while he did I asked him how he found me. He said he just knew. After conversation we found out we were after the same thing so we made a partnership. In the course of that partnership we prevented at least two wars, kept a city from sinking into the ocean and saved who know how many lives. And all through that, Kyle refused any sort of payment, we were treasure hunters after all not super heroes. But times have changed, Kyle is gone now and the world is much colder. People like us can't be doing whatever we feel like, we must be protectors. Guardians." He looked over at Tara and gave a weak smile. "Sorry, I'm rambling." "No, you're right, the world needs people looking out for it. That's what the people I work with believe. That's exactly how I remember him too, like a sudden warmness to your day." Tara smiled then before she placed her palm to her forehead and said, "In all this I forgot why I came originally. I was going to do this in a more around about way but I think I can be forward with you. I'm part of a group called HUNTERS we are interested in what might be the cause of the mountain floating in the air. Two of the men who were at the fight yesterday night were found driving a car that originated from this point. Our tech person tracked it and I decided to come here while one of our two man teams went to look for them. Do you know anything? I'm afraid that and old acquaintance of mine might be involved in this. Belial is a super villain of great proportions and a man who used to be a student of mine when I taught lectures for a college years ago. I unfortunately did not see his future like this." Chamberlain stood and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "The two men, though they stole my car, are friends of mine. I know they were there to stop Belial not help him. That's all I know I'm sorry. Perhaps you could track the GPS I had installed in the car and ask them directly?" "That's how we found you," Tara said. "Tinker hacked the tracking system and backtracked the car's path here. She was using it to guide our two-man cell to them. Hopefully they will get some more answers." Tara look around as she stood and grabbed the table she had flip and righted it, waving her hand across the mark she had left with her clenched hands to repair the table. "How long have you lived here? Are you days of adventure long gone?" "I settled down here about three years ago. Don't know what brought me here to tell you the truth. I feel a bit to old to be adventuring nowadays, but I don't have any trouble helping a city in need. Oh, hold on let me get you something." He rushed around the counter and dug through a box until he found a dusty worn journal. It had splotches of what could be mud or blood or both here and there but generally in good condition. He handed it to her. "This is the journal that Kyle kept when he traveled with me. I don't see a problem with letting you borrow it for a while." He gave her a charming wink. A look of genuine happiness washed over Tara's face as she said, "Thank you so much. I'll make sure I read every word." "I think when I have the chance I would like you meet my children, they deserve to known more about their father and I have little to tell them that I dare share with them. There are certain things I don't want them to ever know about sadly. They are quite different for twins, Kyle is quite overly logical introverted and Elizabeth is very hotheaded and loud, but they both make me proud with the work they're doing with Hunters." "Did Kyle ever talk about magic itself with you?"

The collosal mountain hanging over the city seemingly grows larger, as more of it is revealed by the moving cloud cover.
And what's this?
Something else can be seen over the mountain, a vague shadow behind the monstrosity of stone.
What on earth could possibly be passing over the city?

Blake walked down the streets of this new city, taking in the view and remembering where things were. He felt hungry and was about to walk into a 4 star restaurant when he realized he didn't have his wallet on him, he had left it in his suite.
Still, all was not lost. He made his mark, watched the approach and just as he passed buy him bumped him slightly with his shoulder as they passed to distract from the slight tugg as he freed the man's wallet from his back pocket. You'd think people in big cities would be more astute about these things Blake thought as he hummed to himself as he picked the cash out of the wallet and stripped the credit cards, chucking them to a few nearby homeless people. They would undoubtedly spend the money, throwing what little trail there might be to him from this little theft off in the wrong direction. He kept the wallet, it was leather, and nice.
Just as he was about to turn into an ally he heard a cry of protest and turned to see the man at a hot dog stand only a few yards from where he had pocketed him. The man seemed to see him going into the ally and started moving in his direction. He smirked, now he got to have some entertainment before his meal.
He ducked behind the corner and grabbed the bottom rung on a fire escape, melting it off it's hinges and pulling it away as a lone pipe. Just as the man cam around the corner, with a pistol in his hand held low Blake gave him a heavy blow to the chest with the pipe, knocking the wind out of the man and stunning him long enough for Blake the grab the gun and melt it in his hand as he threw it away.
He gave the man another wack with the pipe in his gut, causing him to double over as he said, "Really? Pathetic, you though you were going to shot me? ME?! I've been almost killed by far worse than an angry mark come to reclaim his lost goods."
The man reached out in desperation to punch at him but Blake just batted it away with the pipe, busting the man's knuckles as he did. He dropped the pipe then and put the man in a head lock as he gut punched him a few times and then grabbed the arm of his bust arm and pulled it taught as he began to walked quickly toward a dumpster.
"Your first mistake was not just calling the cops and giving them a description sir." Blake said as he hit the man's head into the side of the dumpster with him still trapped in a headlock.
"Your second mistake was comig at me with a gun," he said as he slammed the man's head again.
Slam "Your third mistake was not just going down after I hit with the pipe. Should have cut your losses."
Slam "Your final mistake was taking that last swipe at me. I probably would have just knocked you across the head and walked away. You have to know when your outmatched you know."
Slam Blake gave the man one last smack before he dropped the man's body, which was convulsing in pain, but still alive.
"Anything else?" Blake said as he increased the heat from his palms to make the blood on his hands burn off. "Good, I don't have to really hurt you then."
Blake walk away from the man and pulled at his casual suit jacket to readjust it after the fight. "******** morons around here are even more stupid than the ones in New York, not only do they not notice when they get had but they try and take it back themselves."
"Now to the docks," Blake said as he headed down the street, forgetting his hungry from the rush of adrenaline he had running in his system at the ******** vicious huh?]]

The Kohr Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc "We're part of a group that cares about stability int he world and a mountain possibly falling on a town is not necessarily a world effecting thing but what's causing it must be very powerful, and that is what really worries us the most," Liz said as she gave a glance to the strong man throwing the other man over the edge. "I see you keep good company," She said with a pursed lip. "Smart of you considering those pat downs your boys give don't check for powers." She continued, "While I can't necessarily shared your distaste in Reaper and Heatstroke living after meeting them I wouldn't mind loosening some of Reaper's teeth with my fist. The man was quite a bit tighter with his information than you. Barely told us a thing. We plan on finding out exactly how Belial or Serapheal is doing this with the crystal and stopping them, with whatever force is necessary." "Tch. Powers." JJ said as he handed the driver he had to Ed who placed it back in the golf bag that stood nearby. "Powers-smowers. The only real power is money. Cold hard cash. Think about it. You could kill me in an instant, I've no doubt about that. But if you did, the backlash you and your organization would receive for murdering a humble philantropist would certainly not be worth it. So you stay your hand. Now which one of us is more powerful?" He smirked and put on a silly grin. "I helped you because Ars Goetia's dangerous antics threaten my business, that's all. Now, if that's all you need I'm hungry and I feel like having a cheese burger." He turned and walked back toward a large warehouse Ed and golf bag following. Before he moved off Zack said, "We weren't threatening you, to be honest while we may not like everything you people do, you are at least better than the alternate, pure chaos. If we have learned one thing from our time doing what we do it's that a controlled evil that cares about its continuing existence is much better that a mad one that could care less if it died in the next instance. We may not kill you because of the turmoil it would bring and the fact that someone far worse than you could fairly easily crawl tot he top in the fray, but you know just as well to not overstep your bounds or to push your luck too much because you care for your own neck. All in all you and people like you are the lesser evil in most cases." "Besides," Liz said as Zack turned to leave," if we killed you know one would know who to blame anyway, just try and find out who we are, the proof we exist as a group won't last long before it's gone from under your nose." "And that's a promise Mr. Manager," she said as she walked away, grabbing her knives from the man who had patted her down before getting into the car. JJ gazed back as the black sedan dove off and chuckled. "Seems like I got under their skin eh?" He looked at Ed who was staring oddly at him. "Why you looking at me like I got two heads? Go on, you have work to do. Make sure I'm not disturbed." Ed nodded and walked away while JJ entered the warehouse. "Fuze. Are we ready for our little chat?" Inside the warehouse was a table with five chairs sitting round. A large machine stood across the table facing J.J. The thing placed its hands on the sides of a helmet, small puffs of gas and air spewed from the sides as it was removed revealing the man beneath. "I'm never to eager to have chat's with you but what you are proposing has tickled my fancy. I believe you might actually be on to something, just as shame the other's you suggested for this 'squad' are unreilable at best. Each late, and well insane. But I don't think it bother's you now does it?" Fuze replied kicking a chair at the J.J. It broke harmlessly next to him on the doors he passed through. "I've been standing here for two hours!! While you played put put on a damn car! You are the biggest-" He looked up at the lights the breathed "I'd just like some tea, perhaps a team sitting here before me so we can get to work. I don't like waiting.....not when I could be tracking my prey." JJ and took a seat. "You weren't alone." A strange sound came from the rafters of the warehouse, like silk across rusty metal. A strange sight came into view, a girl completely wrapped in scarves of varying lengths lowered herself from the ceiling. The two scarves that brought her down were incredibly long, but as soon as she neared the ground four other scarves became her legs, her real body hovered a few feet above the ground. The long scarves fell down wrapping themselves around he figure. "I've come to see
What interests me." She said in a creepy melodic tone.

Zegura Dragon Sneeze Zegura Dragon Sneeze Zegura The two soon reached the basement, where a large car waited, the passenger and driver's doors open.
"Hop in, lad. We've some serious distance to cover." The Gentleman grinned.
"I think you may be a great asset to us. Let me explain our situation to you." He smiled warmly, climbing in to the car. "Right." Danny replied and got into the car. "I have a question, why do you have a garage and car in the basement of City Hall?"
The Gentleman gasped suddenly, looking at Danny in awe.
"I... this... ahah, let me explain."
"This isn't my garage! I just park in it sometimes!" He chuckled nervously, hoping to god Danny was naive enough to believe what he was saying.
"I'm pretty good friends with Mayor Gold, and he said it was fine!" He winked.
"So, are you a student?" He asked, trying to change the subject.Danny gave him a sideways glance. "Yeah..."
The Gentleman was accelerating heavily, trying to get to the streets as fast as possible. He had a feeling that something bad was coming. He just didn't know what."General studies." Danny replied dully, "I'm still in high school."

The Kohr The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Dragon Sneeze Ricky nodded knowingly. "Yeah, JJ was at that party wasn't he? If they can get answers out of him instead of us that would be so much better. But why the GPS? I know where we are." "Nah man I know you know where you are, It's got to be how they found us. No one was following us. They're tracking us. So new list Remove all things from the car that aren't vintage, Get Danny, See Oz, Catch green haired Prostitute, Deal with that *points up*, Find out who those guys are. And by the way O did you noticed how I told them little to nothing so to make up for my slack they told me stuff. She's got a temper, he keeps her in check, they're looking for Belial, The man who saved him is Serapheal, they have conections to an or many individuals who can hack into things including government equipment because they came to us fast. To fast which means everyone else is completly off the grid as we should be for this thing." He nodded to her [[JJ is the mob boss guy]] Angela nodded. "Yeah, that was pretty cool." Ricky yanked something from under the dash. "Found it." He tossed the GPS out the window. "So, back to City Hall? Or what?" "Well check that off the list we'll be done before daybreak with that kinda speed there Rick. Yeah let's get to City Hall so we can get the team huddel together we need to have a chat. Oh and Drive real fast." Reaper laughed leaning back in his seat as Ricky gripped the wheel. "Seriously put your damn belt on girl!" "Hey Rick, before we started speeding off checking every teenage hangout for Danny why don't you call him?" Reaper paused and thought I've gotta get us communicators, Damn why everything so expensive I've only got two done.....I don't think I can make one that will work in heat....damn everyone makes this look so easy. I beat Arbor has a really neat communicator......... I wonder how they are getting information out in the feild who has their "Hotpants we're being watched from above. I'm gonna need you to drive like a bat outta hell to dodge sattelitle visuals. I don't like being followed brings back bad childhood memories" Reaper shook his head really fast. " O you said you live on 24 Oak, that's were....great I'm kidnapping the Chief of Polices kid. Perfect Welcome to superheroing as a child. It's worst than being a child star kid they never turn out right and we well we just..." He began rambling on to himself leaning a little out of the window Ricky nodded. He picked up his cell phone and frowned. "Um... Vic, I don't think that's gonna work." He handed on what was left of his cell phone, a cracked screen and three buttons.

That's exactly how I remember him too, like a sudden warmness to your day." Tara smiled then before she placed her palm to her forehead and said, "In all this I forgot why I came originally. I was going to do this in a more around about way but I think I can be forward with you. I'm part of a group called HUNTERS we are interested in what might be the cause of the mountain floating in the air. Two of the men who were at the fight yesterday night were found driving a car that originated from this point. Our tech person tracked it and I decided to come here while one of our two man teams went to look for them. Do you know anything? I'm afraid that and old acquaintance of mine might be involved in this. Belial is a super villain of great proportions and a man who used to be a student of mine when I taught lectures for a college years ago. I unfortunately did not see his future like this."

"Did Kyle ever talk about magic itself with you?" "He would only talk about magic in its relationship to me. He never said anything about the source of his power, he'd always change the subject." Chamberlain replied.
