Lev casually walked up to the battle suit, stepping lively over brick and rubble. Lev smiled to the robot, putting both of his hands on the front of it.
Volts that could bend bridge beams and crack trees in half ensnared the machine in a firestorm of ludicrous lightning and power, dancing and draining and filling all at the same time, and then it was done, Lev grinding his fingers now into the face plate of the robot, grinning all the while. "What're ya? Government? Experimental U.F.O? When i get my hands on you.."

Gidget grips both of his wrists and squeezes down. A door in the armor's back pops open and a glowing canister is ejected. The suit was originally designed to extract meta-humans in trouble. It had electricity countermeasures, but they were flawed. How simplistic of an oversight a layer of rubber built into the suit was. Yet that was also flawed, the electricity needed somewhere to go. Hence the three containers built in to store electric discharge.
Gidget looks at the readings. The containers were supposed to hold enough power to light a city block. This guy is a dynamo. Holding back so as not to crush his ribs and kill him, she releases his wrists and shoves forward to get him off of her head.

Lev was taken aback, his wrist's instantly feeling numb at the iron grip of the machine. Lev tripped over himself, stumbling backwards at the dangerous strength the robot boasted. Steadying himself, the fierceness in Lev's gaze only faded due to the brilliant flash of white now rippling through his flesh, more streetlights fading, dying with loud crackling sputters.
Some even began to explode, wires from overhead telephone poles snapping like cod wire, flailing about wildly as visible energy seeped into Leviathan, his energy field astounding, nearly pushing the opposing alley walls apart, the buildings now shuddering under Leviathan's anger. "What are you?" Lev's voice was omnipotent, containing multiple pitches due to the energy projecting through him, his body a fluid mass of pure synergy.

There was so much going on, it was hard for Trinity to keep up. When the dumpster door opened she was about thank Lily and the robot but didn't get a chance to and landed back into the dumpster as Lev used his power against the robot. Trinity was in there wondering,How do I make them stop? Asking kindly to go elsewhere? Yeah the coffee thing didn't work and niether would that... Trinity was getting frustrated and as this frustration grew shadows behind the trash begin to form a creature that growled from behind the trash. The cans start to rattle and rattle more as the creature grew and took shape.

Lily's eyes widen even farther as she watched the growing mound of trash that reminded her of a garbage monster she saw in a old movie when she was a kid. She knew Annie's power, and even Lev's, so it could only belong to Trinity and the new comer. She gasped, feeling like jumping in the dumpster herself, all this was beginning to be too much to handle, and to think it all started with Ako.
She gulped, trying to think of what to do. Leviathan was electricity, but how much could he actually take before over loading? Annie was settled, for now but their was a new threat, the robotic girl, judging by the high pitch voice. Or maybe it's not a girl, maybe it's a malfunction with the voice box thingy it mentioned earlier.. she thought to herself, giving herself a headache.
"Think, Lily. Think. Obviously the electrical monster has gone hay wire, and someone has created that thing." she said looking over to the monster. Her gun would be useless, all this just to get a bit of information, it was beginning to look like it wasn't worth it. She looked around the ally, spotting something that could be used to her advantage, just how she would use it, she didn't know. It was a down power line, she bit her lip, looking over at Annie. If she could figure out how to get to the wire without electrocuting herself, then maybe, just maybe she could use it to short circuit the robot, or even Leviathan himself. No.. that was too risky, maybe she should just get Trinity and get out of the way, and let Annie use her rain again. But then again, Lily felt bad that all this was happening in Trinity's neighbor hood.
Then Lily balled up, this had to stop, because as she looked at Trinity she could tell the girl was more then upset about the things going on around her home, and who could blame her? She stepped in front of Lev and the robot, her brown eyes glaring at both. "Stop this now!" she screamed, not caring if she got hurt anymore, they where going to hurt innocent people if they kept up with this nonsense. "Annie, is this a friend of yours?" she asked, looking at the robot, then she averted her attention back to Lev. "I understand you have no remorse for human life, but this is getting ridiculous. You are a full grown man, fighting with children! "

Gidget wants ever so badly to answer with "You're worst nightmare," but tries instead to think of something much more unique. She is about to answer with her awesome one liner when the shadows start to envelope the area around them. Her display reveals the massing shadows behind her. "...crap." she mutters under her breath, making sure to turn the mic off before uttering it. She notices, though, that the creature hasn't taken full shape yet.
She levels three extinguisher nozzles at Lev only to be intersected by the only normal person here. Gidget doesn't much appreciate the comment though. She lowers her arms and huffs, "Hey I'm not a child!"
But the girl was right, this has to stop. Gidget glares at Leviathan, "What's you're problem anyway? I help that girl out of the dumpster and you throw me through a wall? Just chill out man."

Gaining her composure, Annie stood, her brown eyes narrowed in disgust at the chaos around her. And when the voice filter in the robot was destroyed, Annie would so much have liked to say that she was surprised by the fact that Gidget's voice came out, but she wasn't: who else would come rushing into battle in a giant robot playing the Mighty Mouse theme song?
"Gidge," Annie warned stepping between the robot and Leviathan, "Lying isn't good for you. Technically, according to American law, even I am still a child."
She turned to Leviathan, her hair frizzing and flying around her face, and said calmly as she began to change drops of his blood to acid as she spoke, "Please sir, do not make me kill you. I already have one life on my conscious don't make me have another one. But, then again, I think I'll sleep better than ever if I do kill you." Her eyes were narrowed in hate, and her fists were clenched, around her the air was warm, but no acid rain fell on those around her. She was going to kill the man if he didn't get control of himself soon. 'What's another murder for a murderess? Nothing, right?' She told herself.
Annie was torn, she wanted to turn every drop of blood, brain fluid, urine, and whatever other fluids in his body to acid and kill me, but she also wanted to apprehend the suspect and prove his guilt. Thinking about Lily's comment of a full grown man fighting with children she couldn't help but smile: that was what Charles Ray was too.

Trinity's ears picked up what Annie said. As she bursts open the dumpster the creature took shape as something like a bear with a mouth like a shark with so many teeth it roars with the anger and frustration Trinity was feeling. At this rate she knew someone was going to hurt because of the nonsense. As the beast roared Trinity shouted with her green eyes glowing, "DON'T KILL HIM! HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TEACH ME TO CONTROL MY POWER! GET OUT OF MY NEIGBORHOOD! NOW!"
The beast claws at them left and right.

Gidget shoves Annie and Lilly out of the path of the swiping claws. She spins around and takes the brunt of the first swipe. They scrape across her armor, causing sparks to fly. She stumbles a bit and tries to grab a hold of the other arm when it comes by for another attack. She shouts out, "Please stop, you don't need that lummox! I know someone else who controls shadows like this. She can help you!"

Annie gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes as she heard the shouts and protests from Trinity. "Are you stupid?" Annie laughed as she was shoved away by Gidget (she would be sure to thank her later), not bothering to change what acid she already created in Leviathan's blood stream back yet. "It's obvious he isn't the only one with powers too. And by the looks of it he sure don't know how to control his powers."
"A class one or class four meta-human won't benefit all that much from the teachings of a class two anyways," snapped Annie. "Anyhow, by far you are more like me than you are like Mr. Cortez. I'm not the one destroying your neighborhood, either."
Annie was irritated by the commotion the girl was making. How dare Leviathan trap this girl so quickly and get her around his little thumb. What did he want with her, anyways?

Pages from the fool's notes roused Alias out of his stupor. They criss cross in front of his vision, writhing and twisting like angry snakes. One line stands out from the mess, though.
Darkness is a incomplete substance, always at war... with itsself.
Okay, so he couldn't read the middle. That was enough, though.
He stood to his feet, calmly.
Lev had gone ballistic on the mech... a girl called "Gidge" was free of the armor... a certain "little miss" had ended up blowing a dumpster to pieces... Acid rain was falling, no big deal... Heck, I don't know half these people's names...
The shadow beast roared, and that snapped him into attention. He held out his free hand and focused.
A ball of darkness, of dark energy, of fear, formed in his hand. He could feel it there, and he could feel his hand (like someone had rubbed conditioner all over it) and he could mold it this way and that, like clay.
Then he shot it at the beast.
He got the expected reaction: the beast fell back and roared with rage, like a child crying after getting hit with a baseball.
"Tremble before... uh, Christopher Carter!" He yelled, remembering he was using the name on the byline of the meteor article.
He looked over at the "little miss". Best to have friends rather than enemies, and he had a conscience.
More than Lev, anyways. Some here didn't have to be destroyed.
Maybe Gray had left something in him. He should return it ASAP.

((I have NO clue what's going on.. So I'm just gonna post in Tansy's little dreamy world!))
At ease and at peace with herself, Tansy floated in her own personal world. She smiled somewhat as she let herself think things over which she had never had time to truly ponder. And now, here, she had all the time in the world.
Until...
Tansy's eyes shot open as a chill ran down her spine. She shivered as a icy cold voice slid over her body. "At last, we meet."
Within seconds the young angel was on her feet and looking into the darkness with which she had become so accustomed too. "Who's there?" Her voice was commanding, but frightened at the same time. She bit onto her bottom lip as she surveyed the area to see where the voice had come from.
She ran down the list. It had been male, of that she had been sure. And it sounded close. To close for Tansy to let herself relax. And it was real. Very real. She had felt the breath against her ear. She reached up and pushed her hair behind her ear as she turned in another slow circle. "Who are you?" She called out into the darkness once more.
"Who am I?" The voice taunted. "I think you know me rather well Tansy. We have meet before."
She frowned. "I don't like playing games."
"Well that is a pity. For I do enjoy them so."
The angel scoffed as she turned away from the voice and began to walk towards the nothingness.
Something grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back. But she still saw nothing but the darkness. "You can't make me go away. We are entwined, you and I. But don't worry, you'll soon be able to put a face to the name."
"I don't even know your name." She spat out.
"Oh, but you do. You think of me all the time. And we will meet. Sooner then you think my dear angel."
"Well then i think you might need to remind me."
"I. Am. Death."
Tansy's eye shot open as she gasped for air. She coughed violently as she tried to shake the memories from her head. But no matter what she did, the voice stuck with her. The though terrified her. it shouldn't... she had fought Charles death, and had won. It couldn't be any different now, could it. That had to be it! She was just dreaming. But... if she had been dreaming, then why was there a bruise on her arm int he shape of a man's hand?

Trinity was not listening to the others she really just wanted them out of here before someone gets hurt. She sees someone throw something at the beast and it reacted."GO AWAY NOW!! LEAVE ME IN PEACE!" she yells as the beast roars again.
Little did she know that the beast was taking a lot of energy to manifest, her glowing eyes were beginning to feel heavy.

Lev didn't get it. If this woman wanted him to stop fighting, egging him on didn't benefit this cause at all. She spoke of nonsense, levels in Meta-whatsits.
Levels? Leviathan would show her levels.
Lev slapped away the intervening woman's words like brittle sticks, a smirk rising to his static lips. "Bah. You all talk so much. Begone mortal.."
The shadow beast Trinity summoned surprised Lev to the point of stopping a moment, a calm grin running the length of his face. He felt something thicken in his blood, but pain could be bought away, the atoms in his body moving too quickly, too erratically to clot or burn or tear. Leviathan began to laugh, at the absurdity of it all, at the sudden multi clashings of several beings at once, in this spot. "Release this beast from your mind Trinity, i will handle the rest of this now." Lev spoke with finality in his scowl,
"Ridiculous..the pursuit of dashing heroes, the push for whatever your cause is.." Lev's voice was low, his eyes suddenly keen, intelligent beyond their years. "You attack rapidly and with blind confidence. You speak words that carry more weight then your actions, and for that, it is too late for you." Lev spoke gravely, a hint of pity on his lips.
Then Lev held his hand forward, finger pointed at Annie.
"Bang."
Lightning, seven times hotter then the surface of the sun, shattered forward toward Annie at the speed of light, no dodging capable, no running from the flesh rending flash frying effects of Lev's cataclysmic attack.
(Btw, this doesn't have to be a kill strike or anything like that, it's just the straight facts. A real bolt of lightning is actually seven times hotter then the surface of the sun, and, in the reality of the situation, lightning is well..well it is the speed of light. I'm just clarifying such things as to not confuse, as my powers are explained in my profile, and i've used them all accordingly as such.)

Trinity's brow raised and wanted to somehow protect Annie. The beast place its hand in front of Annie absorbing the blast but with that it started falling apart and returned to the original shape of shadows of the trash cans. As it did this Trinity fell exhausted from all she did. She landed on the ground in a deep sleep.
