She felt her palms grow cold as the words filtered through her ears, she could feel the face of shock on her face, but it was frozen the more he went on. First, I'm not alabaster. She shook her head a moment, what the hell did he mean he wasn't alabaster! She saw it all with her own eyes! Not the best of people... she felt like slapping the man in front of her, if he wasn't Alabaster, then who the hell was he!? idea is slavery, usually women... she knew the her face was readable, she knew the confusion on her face could be clearly seen.

Then she felt his hands around her shoulder. Sure, she was confused, but he was hurt. She quickly wrapped her arms around his waist to catch him as he fell, she wouldn't have him falling again. Last time he went out, and changed into what he is now.. I'm Felix... FINALLY, the answer she was looking for all along. Why couldn't he of just said that to begin with, sure the confusion would still be there, but she somewhat under stood now.

Then, as she realized where his head lay, her eyes widen, she quickly walking him back over to his bed, sitting him down so he would sit up in his bed. Trying to brush off the sudden awkwardness. "Well, Felix. You shouldn't try to get out of bed, you did suffer quiet a spell back there... " she sighed, sitting back down in her chair, she looked at him and smiled. "So let me get this straight. You are two different people, right? Multiple personalities? Correct?" she knew she was on the right path, though while he had the illness, it was taken to a new limit.. He changed his appearance when his personality changed. "And you shift your appearance when you change from Alabaster to Felix... " she shook her head, leaning back in her chair. "As if my life couldn't get any cra-" as her lids closed, her mind was overtaken by violent array of visions yet again, this time she could clearly see Annie's face.

In the Vision, Annie was out of breath, she was glaring in front of her, and as Lily followed the girls gaze, she could see Leviathan, along with another accomplice she had never seen before, a man more frightening looking then Mr. Cortez himself. Lily gasped as she watched the men work together to take Annie down.

Then, the vision faded, leaving Lily in the floor, she looked up at Felix trying to brush it off like nothing was wrong. Too many people knew about her gift already, so, she giggled, sitting back in the chair. "Sorry.. Spider.." she lied, it was believable, girls did freak out over bugs.

Shaking his head he smiled. “I guess so, that or you were just to tackle-ishous for me to resist.” This caused him to laugh as he sat down upon the bed, his legs dangling as he began to swing them side to side. “Yeah, you’re right. I was born as Felix, Alabaster came later in life. He’s more of a rogue, sort of a wild card.”

Biting his bottom lip he watched as the woman went still than snapped back faster than he did after visiting his inner sanctum, she claimed it was a spider that spooked her, he didn't believe a word of it. “Uh huh...” He spoke, not truly believing a word she spoke. “Listen lady, you clearly don’t trust me so thanks for the help.” Rolling onto the bed he turned away from her. “You can go off chasing your spiders if you want.”

Before she could reply he closed his eyes, hoping that if he slowed his breath enough she’d believe he was sleeping. It never worked before, but he could only hope she didn’t and wouldn’t notice the difference. But, everyone usually did, it didn’t help when you couldn’t act your way out of a paper bag.

Blitz let her have her say, listening intently. Breathing out a sigh, Blitz rubbed at the bridge of his nose, pressing his fore and pointer fingers into the corners of his eyes. "I can't take you back. Leviathan will just eat you." Blitz began to walk away, knowing there wasn't much more to say at the current time, "He knows where the meta-human facility is. Tomorrow he strikes. Be there, and we might can end all this. Warn them.."
The noises from above only give Blitz momentary pause, his eyes squinting up into and through the sunlight. Staring at the top of the building, a puzzled but knowing glare, Blitz continued in his short jog, following in Lev's wake, bound to catch up to them eventually, the demon and the demonic man.
PostPosted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 3:56 pm


Annie paled at Blitz's words: she half expected Leviathan's resolution to be was to eat her, but the fact he knew where the facility was turned her blood cold. She swore under her breath and punched the wall of the ally. Turning she glanced at Gidget, "Gidget can you get me to your brother? I need to meet with Shane. Then you're leaving town. I'd send him away too if I could, but I can't..."

She took a deep breath, before punching the wall again, as her hand scrapped the rough wall, her hand began to bleed. "Gidget, please for God's sake promise you won't be at the facility tomorrow. I can't face Shane or myself if something happens to you. You've seen a hint at Mr. Cortez's power: that is nothing. I want you to be safe. Okay?"

"It will not be easy, and it will not be done overnight. In order to increase your reserve of key requires a strong body as well as a strong mind. I will not go easy on you. You want to be strong quickly, and I will give you your wish. Are you ready to begin?"


She raises herself from the bow, she smiles as if she thought he'd never ask, "You bet I'm ready, I've been ready since yesterday." though she answers confidently and definitely willing to learn all she can as quickly as she can, she never had the need before to hurt people. She didn't get into a fight before and she wondered will she be able to use it when she needs it or end up holding back for fear of hurting anyone. She had the most confidence in her sensei, that he would have a way to get her to respond the way she needed to.

Rikki Tikki Travi

"Mrs. Smith? I am Shane Morrison, Gidget's older brother. I can't thank you enough for looking after her this morning. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, and I would like to answer them."


Mrs. Smith was a little weirded out at the fact the man already knew her name before introducing herself. She reaches out to shake his hand, "Hello Shane, you were the one Gidget called this morning right? She was a delight to have over, she even fixed my oven. Although, unfortunately... I'm not sure what happened to her. One of the creeps that came to our house this morning ripped a hole in the car's roof and took Gidget out. It was around then, I think Trinity sent me here. I understand she's there now right?"

She took a deep breath, before punching the wall again, as her hand scrapped the rough wall, her hand began to bleed. "Gidget, please for God's sake promise you won't be at the facility tomorrow. I can't face Shane or myself if something happens to you. You've seen a hint at Mr. Cortez's power: that is nothing. I want you to be safe. Okay?"


Gidget looks at Annie with an insulted expression. "What are you talking about Annie? This guy is out to get all of us, and you want me to just sit back and do nothing. That's not going to happen. You don't have to worry about me anyways. Once we get back I'm going back into the Valkyrie lab to improve this suit, as well as do everything I can to help everyone else. And would you stop hitting the wall! Having a broken hand isn't going to fix anything."

Trinity
She raises herself from the bow, she smiles as if she thought he'd never ask, "You bet I'm ready, I've been ready since yesterday." though she answers confidently and definitely willing to learn all she can as quickly as she can, she never had the need before to hurt people. She didn't get into a fight before and she wondered will she be able to use it when she needs it or end up holding back for fear of hurting anyone. She had the most confidence in her sensei, that he would have a way to get her to respond the way she needed to.


Teshoumaru takes a step back with a deep breath. "The first lesson will be how to perceive the shadow realm, as well as the dangers that lie within it for those who are not like us."

His shadow stretches over to hers, creating the same bond that she felt earlier. "I want you to sink into your shadow as you have been doing. The difference this time is that I want you to concentrate on this room in reverse. You saw the way the realm looked earlier, right? Everything was backwards. This is how you will be able to move freely through the realm without simply flying through it as you have been. I've linked my shadow with yours to track your performance. If you should start to slide someplace random, become lost, or have any difficulty in general I will assist you. This is the crawl portion of this lesson, please proceed."


Mrs. Smith
Mrs. Smith was a little weirded out at the fact the man already knew her name before introducing herself. She reaches out to shake his hand, "Hello Shane, you were the one Gidget called this morning right? She was a delight to have over, she even fixed my oven. Although, unfortunately... I'm not sure what happened to her. One of the creeps that came to our house this morning ripped a hole in the car's roof and took Gidget out. It was around then, I think Trinity sent me here. I understand she's there now right?"


Shane nods confidently. "She is with another person who has the same power that she does. If what he told me is true, your daughter is has accepted his offer to teach her how to control her power. As far as Gidget goes, that same person who is helping your daughter also ensured that my sister is safe. I guess we both owe him a great debt. There is someone else I need to speak to here, so if you would please head down to the front lobby. There is a limo waiting to take us back to the facility. Feel free to enjoy the incidentals."

Ako nodded, saying; "Alright, just be casual when we get out in the halls. Remember, we're just visitors." He followed her out into the hall and started walking towards the elevators. "Any ideas on how to find the others?"
PostPosted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 9:50 pm


"Gidget, have you been paying attention at all to what has been going on?" Annie sighed. "The man is practically unstoppable. We barely handled Mr. Ray. Anyhow... look at it this way, if the first line falls, there has to be someone waiting on the sidelines to make the second strike."

Still frustrated, she clenched her fist and said with a forced smile, "We'll discuss this later, ideally with your brother present. Regardless, I need to get into contact with Shane ASAP. I'm serving as his assistant now."

Her smile was more genuine now as she added, "It is my responsibility to try to keep things contained, including, protecting his little sister."

Gidget can feel her face turn red. Protect her, everyone always has to protect her. Her fists clench up inside of the suit, which in turn makes the fists of the suit clench. She uncharacteristically shouts at Annie, "I'm sick of everyone having to protect me! I'm always the little person who's in the way! First with Shane, and now with you. I can't stand it! From now on I'll be the one who does the protecting! I may not be able to shoot lighting or turn water to acid, but I can build things. I'll build something that will stop that big jerk's plan, and maybe even kill him. I'll show all of you what I can do!"

Her visor re-polarizes and she takes a few steps back before igniting her boots and lifting herself in the air a few feet.. She hovers for a moment, looking down at Annie. She feels big now, strong and capable. Not at all like the weak girl that they had to carry out of a lab two days ago. She then realizes that all she is doing is losing a friend by acting this way. She cuts off her boots and drops to the ground. She hangs her head and solemnly says, "I'm sorry...Shane's cell phone is at the hospital. The security cameras there show him talking to Mrs. Smith. He'll probably be back at Valhalla soon. I can take you there, or you can drive in the car you came in."

Annie nodded, apparently she was getting quite talented at making people mad at her lately. "I think it would be best if you took me there. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Cortez is watching the car right now."

As she waited for Gidget to agree she added, "It isn't completely the fact that it is just you I'm trying to protect. I try to protect everyone. And, I'm not discounting your powers, I just am saying that you need to be somewhere safe. You have no idea what he is doing right now, how can you stop his plan?" She smiled and added, "And maybe I have a few alternative reasons to try and protect you specifically."

Trinity watched as her sensei's shadow link to hers. She listens to what her sensei expects her to do. She took a deep breath and let it out. Before she thought ahead where she wanted to be. Even the first time she was thinking of a bar and she fell into the nearest bar. Now she had to make sure that she wasn't thinking of any other place. Her mind was blank, clear causing her to fall. She still would hold her hands out to catch herself from the sudden fall but it didn't help as she fell straight into the darkness. When there her eyes were opened at least she thought they were open, for it was so dark you couldn't see her hand in front of her face. She did not see the other shadows as she did before with her sensei. For a brief moment her green eyes were glowing and she saw the openings. She didn't like being surrounded in this much darkness unless she was asleep. She felt for the door with her hands. She needed to see the room again she needed to see light. She pulled herself put from behind an open door near by.

"Let me try that again..." she went down again falling and decided to stay despite how uncomfortable she felt and concentrate until she could see the openings. It was kind of difficult because it was like taking a color photo then imagine it in black and white then inverting the black and white. She was getting worried about how difficult this was for her for something so simple.

"Sensei" she calls out. Her voice had an echo effect surrounding it, almost ghost like. Her voice came from all of the shadows in the room. "I'm having trouble... seeing here."

----------------------------------------------


Mrs. Smith felt relieved when she heard that Gidget was safe and that her daughter was training with someone who has the same power. She nodded as he explained that he had other business to attend to. Her eyebrows rose as she heard that there was a limo waiting for her. "Thank you so much. I'll head over there now." she waved bye for now and head toward the entrance of the hospitol. She had her ID ready in hand in case they needed to confirm it was her. She heads outside toward the limo.

"You are right. I don't trust you. For the simple reason you just let me know your counter-part had plans to sell me into slavery! So why should I trust you, he had gained my trust, and I was blind to what he had planned, how do I know you are not the same!?" she shouted at the boy as he layed in his bed, turned toward the wall. She rolled her eyes as she stood up from the chair. Why was she still waisting her time with him?

Gritting her teeth she watched his breathing pattern, at first it was obvious he was faking. She shook him once, "Hey. I'm not done talking to you!" she said a lower tone then before, shaking him again. He wasn't giving in. Growling she threw her hands up in the air, fine if that was the game he wanted to play. So be it!

"Fine! You are a poor actor, you know this?" she said as she walked out the door. Lily need some air, and now she had some free time to finally call her mother. Who, for some strange reason hadn't called Lily in...days.. The girl started to panic a bit at the realization, quickly finding her mothers number in her cell phone -which wasn't hard- and pressing the send button.

Ring...
Ring...
Ring...

Lily swallowed hard, it wasn't like her mother not to answer her phone, exspecially when it was Lily he was calling. Something was wrong, something was off. She hung up the phone after reaching voicemail and dialed again.

Ring...
Ring...

Frustrated, she closed her phone shut, sliding down the outside wall in a fit of tears. Just her luck. Now she'd have to go over her mothers house and check up on the old bat. She never just didn't answer her phone. Maybe she is out on the town, or maybe she is just that mad at me. She could just be trying to get back at me for ignoring her calls. the girl thought to herself, picking herself up off the floor and dusting herself off.

She walked back into Felix's room, this time his sleeping pattern was different, it wasn't forced, it was slow. She looked around the room, seeing no changes, nobody had been in the room since she left 30 minutes ago. She paniced walking closer to him, forcing him on his back, she noticed right away his face was a odd blue color.

"NURSE! NURSE!" she shouted, feeling like she had seen this in a movie somewhere but had no time to care.

Right after she shouted her plea for help, in came the woman that Felix had frightend before. Her eyes widen at the sight, she quickly beginning her work on him. Then, she walked out of the room in a quick pace, not letting Lily know anything at the moment, Lily stood in the corner of the room clutching her chest. If this man died in front of her, she'd never be the same again.

Wasn't too long after the same nurse returned with a staff of employee's, ranging from doctors, inturns, and nurses. They all beginning to do what they did best, stabilizing Felix. Then, after a good 25 minutes of them rushing around like a mad hornet nest, the doctor turned and noticed Lily. He sighed, grabbing her hand, holding it in his own cold and clammy one..

"He will be alright.. Do you mind waiting outside, please?" she knew right away the doctor was lieing, if he was going to be alright, why have her wait outside? But reguardless she walked outside the door, slumping down in the floor, unawear that the burning sensation running down her cheeks where tears, her hands quickly finding the roots of her hair. "This can't be happening, this isn't happening! It's just a bad dream Lil, just a nightmare, you'll wake up and everything will be fine. " she said to herself.

Only thing Lily didn't know was, nothing was fine. While she sweated out in worry in the hallway, Felix had slipped into a coma, his attempt to find Alabaster was taking too long, and the man had gotten lost in his own mind.

After a good 2 and a half hours, the doctor had come out, knelt beside Lily and shook his head. The girl knew right off bat it wasn't good. It never was.. "I'm sorry Ms. Stinson, your friend won't wake up. We will do what we can to stablize him, but it seems as if he is in a coma, and under alot of stress, whatever it is he is dreaming." Lily gritted her teeth, rising up to her feet.

"Can I see him?" she asked.
The doctor nodded, and Lily walked into the room, seeing the purple haired man just laying there, sleeping. She sat down in the chair, watching, waiting. Knowing that soon enough Shane would come to see what happened.


(Sorry about the size of it.)

Gidget guffaws and replies proudly, "I helped you guys beat Charles Ray when he had me put to sleep. This guy is just a few devices away from defeat."

Moments later they arrive in the hangar of the Valhalla facility. Gidget places Annie down on the concrete floor and looks over at a construction crew hard at work. "Huh, I thought they would've fixed that hole I made by now."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teshoumaru's voice can be heard within the darkness, "Just a moment...there." He pulls her out of the shadow and back to where she was standing but a moment ago. "Not bad for a first attempt. You managed to feel your way to this rooms entrance. You said that you were having trouble seeing, could you elaborate a bit more?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shane knocks on the door softly and enters Felix's room. He see's Lily sitting with her back turned toward him. He approaches her and quietly asks, "Is this the boy from the park?"

She looks around to find that she was on the surface back where she started. She nodded at his request, "I think I was able to see the other doors for a moment but, I lost it... all I see was darkness. I'm not sure, I'm having trouble seeing the room from down there." it was obvious that she was frustrated that she wasn't getting something that seemed so simple fast enough. She was worried about what if she couldn't learn this fast enough and she was putting pressure on herself to try to get this right away.

((edited (sorry I always think of something better to add to it later x.x)))

Mrs. Smith went outside and saw the limo. The driver checks her ID and opens the door for her. She sits herself down and finds that there's a minibar. She finds some wine and pours it in a wine glass. I really need something to calm my nerves She swirls the liquid in the glass and sips it.

Lily jumpped at the sound of the voice, she hadn't realized anyone else was in the room besides herself. She heard not a door, footstep one. So when she heard the voice of her past teacher, she jumped out of her seat so she was now standing, facing the man.

"Oh. Yea. This is him... Though.." she sighed, looking back at him. It had been hours now since he slipped into his coma, and she doubted that they'd keep him in this facility, not with what exactly he was, and what he was most likely capable of. "He is in a coma. They said he most likely won't wake up, but the chances are there. " she shook her head, looking back at him, it didn't feel right having this conversation right over the sleeping man. So, she took a few steps for the door.

"If you have questions, I think it is better if we talk out here about it. Not only that, but seeing now there is someone I trust here.. Once you are done with your 20 questions game, I have to go check on something... " she didn't want to ask for Shanes help in going to check on her mother, that was something Lily could do herself, though the company would be nice, she already was on Annie's bad side because of Shane to begin with, no need in making matters worse.
