Welcome to Gaia! ::

The woman watched the woman leave, then turned back to the girls. "Well, I suppose I'd better get you girls home." she replied, walking with them down the street. "What are you're names?"

The woman gave them a bit of a look. "Alright, what would you like your name to be?" she asked, turning her attention back to the buildings as they walked. Perhaps if they could find one tall enough, the girls could see their house better. No such luck so far though.

"Alright. Well then I'll call one of you Fuze, and the other Rosie." she replied with a small smile. The buildings around them started to change slightly in design, and she figured they were entering another part of the city. Though it was strange for a city to change in appearance so much. "Anything here looking familiar?' she asked as they continued down the street.

EXIT to Metropolis

ENTER from Unknown.

X stood leaning against a counter behind the young girl, watching her. She apparenly hadn't even realized that she wasn't along. "See anything you like?"

Gold Star suddenly jumped and whirled around in mid-air, nearly knocking part of the equipment off the table. She stared at him with wide eyes for a few seconds, then gave him a slight glare. "The heck did you come from?!"

"I'm how you got here." X replied simply, then moved from the counter and towards her.

Gold Star quickly moved away from the table and glared at him, then slowly her glare turned into shock.

"Sorry, mental powers don't work on me." he said with a small smirk. "Seriously, take whatever you want. I haven't seen the person that owns this building for quite some time now. I wouldn't be surprised if he was 'spirited away'" he said, motioning towards the table.

Gold Star gave him a bit of a look, then cautiously walked back around the table. "Alright, who are you, and what exactly do you want with me?" she asked. "I'm not stupid."

"No, you're just a very curious girl with family and abandonment issues." X replied.

Gold Star flinched a bit, but gave no other signs that what he said just hit a nerve. "Oh?"

"You want to learn all you can about your 'special' family. And you want to finally find one of them that you can stick with. Someone that's not going to leave you or get carted to jail every other year." he said, then smirked a bit. "And being a Blackstone, you have quite a number to choose from."

Gold Star gave him a bit of a look, then turned back to the table. "That still doesn't answer any of my questions." she said, then jumped a bit when he suddenly appeared on the other side of the table.

"Call me X. As for what I want....just do what you had planned on doing. For a while anyway." he replied.

Gold Star gave him another look. "And that's it?"

"Just hang around Sapphire for a while, and when I need you to do something, I'll let you know. It won't be much. I'll just need to to get angry at some point." X replied.

Gold Star stared at him again. "And that's it...?" she repeated.

"That's all I'll need you to do, yes. I'd do what's needed myself, but that didn't go so well with the last one. In return, you can take whatever you need from here, I'll make sure you get to stay with someone from your family, and I'll make sure that Supergirl doesn't just take you away like that again." he said as he flipped another card down on the table in front of her.

Gold Star looked down at the card a moment, then back up at X. After a moment she smiled and took the card, placing it in her armor. "What the heck. Don't have much of a choice if I can't do anything to you anyway, right?" she replied looking back up to face him, but he was already gone.

EXIT X to New York

//ok, let’s give ock another shot…//

ENTER from Chooser’s Realm

There was a sudden and bright flash of light inside one of the laboratories of the large building. As suddenly as it appeared, the light was gone, leaving behind a man with four long metallic arms that slithered in the air behind him.
Octavious glanced around the room as his arms seemed to search the air for any possible threat as well. He had no idea how he arrived here, nor did he remember much about what had happened before hand. After a second or two, he began to walk towards the door to try and find out where he was.

[ENTER X and Sholeh from unknown]


”I know you’re in here. Come out.” Octavious said as he entered the room, his metal arms snaking through the air behind him.

Rapture kept as still as possible, waiting for the man to get close enough for him to attack without risking himself being caught. It wasn’t a robot like he assumed it was. Just a human with robotic extensions. Interesting. A cyborg perhaps? Then again here were a few heroes he knew of that used robotics as weapons and such.

After a moment, things became very quiet. No metallic hissing, no footsteps, no nothing. Odd. Rapture readied some of his claws to strike, and carefully peered around the side of the table.
The room was empty again. The man had seemingly just vanished.
Not wanting to risk getting caught if he had just moved out of his line of sight, Rapture turned back around to move towards the other side of the table to look out. He was met with a pair of legs blocking his path.
By reflex, he jumped back and shot a few of his spiked tendrils out to wrap around the legs. The man, whoever he was, did not flinch or budge as they wrapped around him. Rapture looked up and realized that this wasn’t the man he had seen moment’s ago. Someone else…who didn’t look pleased at all.

”He’s gone. I sent the man to another part of this world to mess around.” X said. ”I have business with you though.”

Rapture smirked slightly and stood, though he did not release his tendrils. ”Really? And what would you want with me?”

”I need you to…” he began, then suddenly stopped and glanced towards the doorway. ”We’ll discuss it somewhere a little more private.” he replied, then turned to talk to…apparently whoever was in the hallway. ”There are no sparks here. Humans were simply teleported. Look elsewhere, Sholeh.” he said, then turned back towards Rapture.

Without waiting for Rapture to respond, both men suddenly began to disintegrate and eventually vanished.

Sholeh peered her head into the doorway with a raised brow. Great, now what was he doing? Really, if all he wanted was to see the world’s reaction, why did he have to interfere so much? And why did he seem so ticked off? Alcina hadn’t done anything, had she? She glanced back towards where Alcina would be a moment, then disappeared herself.


[EXIT Sholeh to New York City]

[EXIT X, Octavious, and Rapture to Unknown]

About fifteen minutes later, he limped out of his office, his expression rather calm. He expected to have Miss Hand meet him, but instead he was greeted by a rather nervous looking young man in a sharp business suit. "Where is Ms. Hand?" he snapped, irritated. Without waiting for a response, he walked past, expecting the man to fall into step behind him.

He did exactly that. "She's already been evacuated, sir. Your chopper's waiting on the roof."

"I'm not going to LEAVE, you imbecile," Osborn replied testily, "I'm going to turn that irritating little nobody into a greasy smear on my nice, shiny new windows."

"... Well that's not very nice."

Osborn's eyes widened, and he ducked just in time to avoid the katanna that would have cut through the middle of his skull. "Deadpool?" But... he wasn't SCARRED?!

"Guuuilty! ... I'm going to shoot you, now," the man added earnestly, pulling out a ridiculously large weapon. It looked automatic. "Several times. Possibly in the kneecaps. I'm partial to kneecaps. Or maybe I'll just cut off all of your limbs. That could be fun. Oooooh! Or..." Deadpool was so focused on planning out his bloody revenge that he failed to notice something rather interesting. Specifically, that Osborn seemed to have pieces of high-tech armor shooting toward him. "See, because the only thing I was really worried about was that armor, and you clearly don't have that... on..." By this point, Osborn did, in fact, have the armor completely on.

"... You were saying?"

"... Mommy."
