The Kohr Dragon Sneeze The Kohr “Laura are you serious? You have never heard of Soul? He saved Fahrenheit from certain destruction several times. When I was five, he solved the mystery behind the spree of fires that almost engulfed the whole city. He also single handedly adverted a nuclear disaster from happening in the capital building right here in the city, who was it that had brought it in to the city?” Leon paused to ask Soul. “The Winter Guard, they were a former Soviet coalition of individuals who believed in taking over America or something for some purpose. Although I think the line up has changed since back then, I also think they don’t go for the whole world domination stint anymore.” He replied. “Besides, do you even know anything about Reaper, he’s allegedly done more than any other hero alive. Besides that… Danny, man, he’s got power that you wouldn’t believe. Which is why I’m here in the first place.” Leon took a drink of water and looked around the lounge. It wasn’t much for a hotel that was so grand. "What about the Constellation? What don't you tell them about that?" Tessa said as she walked up the the group and took a seat uninvited. “Oh Ms. Elliot, I didn’t know you were involved in this sort of thing as well, but I guess since you date Daniel, then you should probably know who he hangs out with. But what are you talking about? What do you mean Constellation?” Leon looked perplexed Tessa looked over at Soul. "Tell him Soul. Tell him what happens when people with no powers fancy themselves superheros." There was a sharp tone to her voice and a steely glare to her eye that seemed to show that she really disliked him.

"It's not like that at all Tessa, people like me and Reaper. We do just fine with out powers. And there are a few more like us out there in the world. And yes Constellation was not one of them. But I knew the man... he was a good man, what happened was the result of a mad man. He couldn't help that kid you know that. It's not fair to bring him up." Soul rubbed his forehead trying to remove the images that had been put in the front of his mind.

I don’t know help us kick a**!” Sheila had almost lost her train of thought but felt she recovered nicely as she jolted a fist into the air punctuating her feelings. "How is a giant lazor pointer gonna help us kick a**?" Felicia replied, "You're such a retard." Felicia looked up and her eyes widened. "WTF! There are people walking up the lazor! They're lazor walkers!" “s**t that’s what I’m talking about” Sheila laughed and pointed spotting the people on the laser, “We could be mutha ******** lazor walkers b***h! We could point lazors at things and walk over as well as shoot at stuff, and it be all like puew puew zzzzzz puew! Then we walk in and punch someone in the face” She pounded her fist into her other hand. "Daayam b***h. We be totally slick an s**t! Let's go ask them how this works!" Felicia replied. She flew up but as soon as she neared the beam she was shunted off like a ping pong ball. She landed awkwardly in a small office destroying it in a loud crash. "What the ********, Felicia you're flying all wrong!" Sheila screamed as she flew up and neared the beam. Like her sister she bounced away her body flung bouncing from wall to wall like a tennis ball on a court. She landed upon her sister in the office. Felicia rolled around in the debris with her sister atop her. "What the ********! Dammit b***h what's with you fallin on me today. Git your fat a** off me!"

What's not fair is playing off what happened as his lack of skill or the situation that he had. He failed because of one reason. He lacked the power to follow through. And a family suffered because of it. What will happen when that situation happens to you? Or Reaper? When some one's life hangs in the balance and you're just a little too slow or a little too late? What then?"

And Reaper, he’s in a league all of his own, I’ve seen him suffer more abuse than any one man could imagine and he has not slowed down, he doesn’t hesitate out of fear of what might be. He’s gonna be the one to go the distance. Kid, our lack of power doesn’t make us any less fit to protect people. What would you have us do Tessa sit back and watch these people burn this place to the ground? Or do you believe that our enemies present themselves because we are out there doing our thing? That man was going to kidnap Danny’s family weather or not vigilantes were out roaming the streets. Do you think people like yourself or Sovereign… just go running around in cities like this protecting the little man, the answer is no. Would you have been there for them?” Soul leaned forward taking on her accusations about his professional choice. Leon looked between the two he could feel the tension in the room. Holy crap, what happened to Danny? What kind of power is Tessa Elliot packing to be so smug? Man I’m glad I came here today.

How dare you assume you know how I feel when I see you people running around like you do. Knowing that your arrogance can get someone killed." Tears began to roll down her normally stoic face. "If I, with all the power I possess, can't save...those people...aarrgh.." Her eyes flashed and she crouched on the ground rocking back and forth cradling her head.

Then what then you’re all alone, and how would you break that kinda news to your parents. You’re right I am arrogant; I’m a self-righteous son of a b***h. I hate the world around me and I hate myself. You can’t see that we just want to help? I can’t speak for Reaper, something else pushes him… despite the time I’ve spent with him I still don’t really know him, you must know what it means to him. Constellations happen almost every day… I really don’t know how to justify what we do.” Soul shook his head and looked to the other two kids, “The both of you have some desire to protect people don’t you? Otherwise you wouldn’t be here with the two of us. Is this what you want. It’s not worth it, look what it does to us. I’m an alcoholic now, and Tessa…the things she’s seen. Why would anyone ever want to be a hero?” Leon’s face was blank what joy he had obtained from being in the presence of other Metas and one of his favorite heroes was gone. “Tessa, are you okay?” He left his seat and approached her slowly.

I just...need to...go." She rose and stumbled away a few tables down she clutched her chest. Grabbing a table to hold herself up she wheezed and collapsed knocking the table over.

Holy crap, what happened to Danny? What kind of power is Tessa Elliot packing to be so smug? Man I’m glad I came here today.Tessa jumped up and flipped the table in fury. "Don't you DARE lecture me! I HAVE been there. I've seen the worst side of humanity. Thousands of people died before me in attempts to save hundreds of thousands! How dare you assume you know how I feel when I see you people running around like you do. Knowing that your arrogance can get someone killed." Tears began to roll down her normally stoic face. "If I, with all the power I possess, can't save...those people...aarrgh.." Her eyes flashed and she crouched on the ground rocking back and forth cradling her head. Soul was taken aback he sat quietly in his chair as he watched her breakdown. He hadn’t thought about the fact that maybe she wasn’t as strong as she made herself out to be. “You worry about him don’t you? You wonder if he’ll die. You wonder if Danny will die. Then what then you’re all alone, and how would you break that kinda news to your parents. You’re right I am arrogant; I’m a self-righteous son of a b***h. I hate the world around me and I hate myself. You can’t see that we just want to help? I can’t speak for Reaper, something else pushes him… despite the time I’ve spent with him I still don’t really know him, you must know what it means to him. Constellations happen almost every day… I really don’t know how to justify what we do.” Soul shook his head and looked to the other two kids, “The both of you have some desire to protect people don’t you? Otherwise you wouldn’t be here with the two of us. Is this what you want. It’s not worth it, look what it does to us. I’m an alcoholic now, and Tessa…the things she’s seen. Why would anyone ever want to be a hero?” Leon’s face was blank what joy he had obtained from being in the presence of other Metas and one of his favorite heroes was gone. “Tessa, are you okay?” He left his seat and approached her slowly. Tessa shivered at his touch, but looked up at him her makeup smeared with tears. It seemed she had stopped crying, but one could tell things were still running around in her head. "I'm...I'm fine. I just...need to...go." She rose and stumbled away a few tables down she clutched her chest. Grabbing a table to hold herself up she wheezed and collapsed knocking the table over. Soul snapped out of his self-loating noticing her condition he sprinted over to her. He rolled her over on her back, "Tessa! Tessa, hey what's wrong girl hey answer me." Leon jumped over next to them, “That’s not completely uncommon, I think she just got over stressed and passed out, but she was clutching her chest. Elevate her head." Soul put his hand up to his ear and pressed the radio device. *Reaper Tessa got real worked up and just passed out stumbling over a table, that ever happen before, should I get her to a hospital?* *s**t, What no! Damn, take her to Oz see what he's got to say first.* *Copy that* Soul picked her up from the floor, “Come on kids we're going downstairs."
