Episode 2: The Wolf of New York

[That Poppy]

Irene picked up her bag making sure everything was in it, " Ah Irene are you leaving? " looking up at her friend, Mike he had that goofy persona that made him really easy to talk to, " Yeah it's getting late. "  Mike nodded waving his right and left hand in front of his face, " Mmmm be careful. " Irene nodded leaving the classroom, joining many clubs might be a hassle to most but Irene loved every moment of it. Standing outside her school she checked her watch, taking out her phone she called her father it took a while to contact him, it seemed he was very busy, " Hello! " the laughter of women could be heard in the background. Irene wanted very badly to shut the phone and not go so low, " Dad...can you pick me up? " the background music only seemed to get louder, " Ah sweetie is this important? I really can't come right now. " Irene smiled at particularly no one, shaking her head, " No...It's not important, I guess I could wake to a hotel or something you don't need to worry ab- "  the phone was abruptly shut/ the line had 'disconnected' " Dad..." nothing, Irene sighed throwing the phone in her bag ' I hope it doesn't rain.' 


-


It seemed like forever, Irene stopped her legs were aching yelling to stop this ridiculously long walk, it just so happened that on the right of the sidewalk was a playground with a single light pole it looked like the ones you see in movies where the child gets kidnapped. Irene shook her thoughts away and walked over to the slide placing her bag on her lap, " Should I just stay here until dawn break? "  with that Irene slowly fell into deep slumber.

Anastasiya as she walked off, noticed the car's take off, and knew there would be no time... She just sighed, being emotionally drained and having the mix of irritation. She noticed that something was moving in the shadows for a moment instantly growing weary she was ready for anything. But then noticed as Eddie walked past and realized who it was. Anastasiya simply shook her head and said, "You know, I can't blame her. She did kind of get dragged on into this, the Mangler killed her parents in her own home, or so I have heard... The Mangler stormed into the Commissioner's apartment because the Mangler was after her, and her black card..." She then came eye to eye with Sunni, and with genuinely warm, slightly emotional eyes the eyes of that innocent 12 year old girl all those years ago. With a grim voice. "I can genuinely feel your pain kid... Unfortunately, I know firsthand what it is like to have your parents murdered... I was actually around your age, except my father was the only one killed, and it was because of a mafia hit in Russia, where I was born..." She brushed her blonde hair back, "I felt the same way, I bawled for hours praying constantly that my father would be brought back, but I can see most importantly... That just like me...  You wanted revenge... You wanted the Mangler dead for having the audacity to kill your parents... I felt the same way against the man who put a bullet between my father's eyes... And I can tell you would really want it, because... At the mall, I heard those whisper's they gave me a faint path to where he was... And I heard your voice... But, unfortunately, you are only around the age I was back then, and I don't know what card you hold. But throwing your life away at that age, is not the right way to go about it. If you want to take my advice kid, listen carefully. Don't charge directly into battle hoping to see your enemies eye's as his or her life slips away. Charge into battle hoping to put a dent in your enemy from afar to sabotage them make your victory assured for your allies quicker." Anastasiya's eyes suddenly went back to being cold once more, and then she said. "If you're going to insist otherwise, you better be really fucking convicted, and be really prepared... Or you will be steamrolled with ease and nothing will be accomplished, as you will just end up dead in ground and be worm food..." She brusquely stated as she put her hands in her jacket and began to walk off again once more avoiding kittens and being careful not to harm them. Noticing as she walked out the vomit on the ground, she chuckled while half being in disgust as she looked at it. She then joked sarcastically, "I suppose they didn't put up a sign that stated that drunkards began roaming around at this time... Wonder where this one dropped and slipped in his own pile of piss..."

Sunni widened her eyes when Ms. Ana mentioned her parents.


Nonononono, I don't want to remember... I don't want to think about it... Please no...


The woman spoke anyways, and Sunni ended up replaying the whole event in her mind. The woman then spoke about how her own father was killed and how she knew Sunni wanted revenge. The girl narrowed her eyes, wondering what point the woman was trying to make. And then it came. Be prepared, and attack from afar. Sunni stared after the woman. Be prepared... She then looked at Eddie. Sunni didn't want to deal with him. She wanted to go somewhere alone. To... prepare. Sunni wasn't sure why she wanted to be alone. But the Mangler was caught, right? Nobody could hurt her now. The girl looked around. Ah, there was her cat. The girl picked it up. The kitten wasn't unhappy. Sunni took a deep breath in and then shot ahead as fast as she could (a gentle run because the kitten was with her), avoiding kittens and running past everyone. She made sure to keep the kitten comfortable. Sunni wanted to go to the playground. Around now, nobody would be there. The girl kept running, trying to stop as little as possible. After a while, she finally made it to the playground. Luckily, it wasn't too far from the police station. She could go there later.


@2PM (gonna go ahead and join ya)


The girl saw another young woman, who seemed to be asleep on a slide. She was extremely pretty. Like, VERY pretty. Sunni held on to her kitten (Sunni named it Blue) and went up to the young woman, tapping her shoulder gently.


"Hello?" The girl asked. "Are you okay? You shouldn't be here alone, it isn't safe."


Ah, so Sunni was a hypocrite.


"Uh... if you want, you can come to the police station with me. I wanted to check something out." Because Sunni had some doubts about the homeless man being the Mangler.

Irene rubbed her eyes, looking around she jolted when she meet the eyes of a young girl who seemed much younger than her, the girl didn't seem serious at all in fact she had a point, picking up her bag she stood up, " Ah hello. " Irene said fixing her hair frankly the girl was so adorable Irene was embarrassed to have been seen in such a state, " Yeah I'm fine, thank you for worrying. "  ...the police station Irene nodded not having any reason to refuse, " Yeah, I'm Irene by the way. " Irene's voice was low and feminine, she was curious to know why she had wanted to go to a police station come to think of it she looked very young to be alone either...well they both were, " Umm is it alright to ask, Why are you going to the police station? are you ok? " genuinely worried about the girl. Irene noticing the cat pet it's head causing it to purr, " I like your cat, What is his/her name? "

Sunni sort of didn't want to interact. She was exhausted, and Ms. Ana had oh so kindly just brought up the topic of her parents' death. Well, death and revenge could come later. The girl grinned cheerily when the woman got up.


"I'm Sunni!" She said when the woman said her name was Irene.


The girl's voice was high and had a bit of a Chinese/Japanese/Asian accent, in contrast to the young woman's lower voice. She turned to walk towards the police station, when the woman asked why she was going and if she was okay.


"Oh, I'm going there to check something cool out," She said. "Apparently this huge werewolf serial murderer got caught. But I don't think he's the wolf thingy. A homeless man wouldn't murder."


A homeless person would know the value of life, and how painful it was for one to be taken away.


"So I'm going to the police station to investigate stuff! You should come with me, it'll be fun!"


Maybe Sunni was acting too reckless. 

 

[That Poppy]

Irene smiled lightly, " Sunni that's such a cute name. It's nice to meet you. " the young girl going by the name of Sunni was very energetic Irene envied how lively she was, not suspecting anything the girl will say next, " What? " Irene tilted her head sighing it looked like Irene made up her mind, " That does sound cool...I'm in. " It didn't matter It's not like anyone was waiting for her back home,


" Is the homless man going to be there? " Irene was actually suprised the girl was pretty open about her task.

Cute name... Sunni blushed. Ah, it seemed Irene wanted to join. She asked if the homeless man was going to be there?


"I dunno." Sunni shrugged.


She took the woman's hand and tugged forward, wanting to walk with her. Then, after a minute or so (assuming Irene walked with her), Sunni said,
"Maybe you should call your roommate or your parents or someone. Just in case," She looked up at the woman and stopped. "You never know if I'm actually the Mangler and I'm after you."

Sunni took her hand and began walking irene blatantly walked behind the girl, Sunni stopped in her tracks she seemed worried, Irene laughed, " I'll trust you." speaking of which Irene took out her phone and showed it to Sunni, pointing to the energy bar Irene whispered, " It's about to run out, I think I'll save it for an emergency. " locking her phone she put it in the outer pocked of her coat for easy access. " There pretty late if some one apporaches us it'll be good to call someone to help us. " Irene nodded she began walking gently pulling Sunni, " To the police station! " she giggled not knowing why maybe it was a way to forget that she was walking with a complete stranger who didn't seem like a bad person, in the middle of the night.

Sunni blinked. Suddenly she was the one being lead. The girl stopped again, shaking her head. She really didn't want anything bad to happen if they really were to get attacked.


"No, no, seriously." Sunni took out her phone and handed it to Irene. "Here, call someone."


The girl looked straight into Irene's eyes with her own dark brown ones.

out Irene sighed it seems she lost the battle taking the phone she smiled thanking Sunni dialing her father's number, she stopped mid-way she began earning the number she quickly typed another lifting the phone to her ears, " Mike, I'm going with a friend is that ok? I'll be at the police station." the other line was quite for a second but Irene quickly gained an 'mmm' from her friend handing the phone back to Sunni, " It's alright to go. "

Sunni grinned and took the phone, not suspecting a thing.


"Is Mike your stepdad?" She asked, walking ahead. "I mean... if it's okay to ask."


Her kitten was still in her hand. Sunni had considered putting it in her backpack, but she wasn't sure if that was okay. Would it count as animal abuse?

 

[That Poppy]

Irene shook her head slowly, " Umm no he's my real dad. "


she felt bad that she had to lie but she really didn't want to call her father, " Mikes really great. " noticing the struggle the Sunni had been going with her cat she offered to carry it for her, "Want me to carry her? you look like your having trouble. " Irene bluntly said.

Sunni grinned and took the phone, not suspecting a thing.

"Who calls their dad by their first name?" Sunni laughed.


Better question. What Asian called their dad by his first name? Sunni then said,


"Nah, my kitty can stay in my arms." She stuck out her tongue in a silly way and then walked on.


"So... what happened?"

 

[The Omen of Death]

(Last I checked, I feel as if LA was still outside the restaurant, so just to try to keep this moving I am gonna interact with him, don't remember if this is right or not, but I don't think that truly matters as of right now since I want to keep this going. And I haven't had the chance to commit a RP post recently)


Anastasiya after giving a glance at the vomit on the ground looked around and caught a glimpse of LA, this really didn't improve her spirits all that much, but it helped slightly. She gave a faint smile and said "Looks like you're late to the party, Mangler got arrested, and two nut jobs tried protecting him, apparently they had a black card as well... Oh and on top of that, they had some kind of kitten gun that... Shot out... Kittens... Don't know how the hell they managed to snatch that many. Though, it's good to see that the Mangler got caught." Lying in the last part of her statement. "Although... I don't know how long they will hold him in there for, and as it seems he can't hold his form forever, because I could STILL see and I felt quite empowered still." Anastasiya was still prepared for the possibility that the Mangler would escape, and was ready to move on the fly.

"Yeah I am. Was a bit distracted.." Lavernius stepped to the side and revealed a group of kittens put together to resemble the Eiffel Tower. All of their little cat eyes swiveled to face Anastasiya as one. "Tada! I present Kittiffel Meower!" He spread his arms grandly and dramatically. LA had seen how everything had gone down and knew Ana would be displeased. So, he created this.. Lavernius was pretty sure this wouldn't cheer the Russian up.. He really needed to ask her what she liked.

Anastasiya simply shook her head and sighed, all the cat stuff got old... Fairly quickly for her, she had enough bullshit for one day. All she really needed right now was a drink, and to FINALLY stop putting off on fixing the bike... She usually was much more punctual on that, the past two days proved though to put that aside due to the sheer eventfulness of them. The whole situation providing a plethora of emotion and irritation lead to her to coldly, sarcastically, and bluntly say to him "Yeah thanks a lot for that help... I know that you must seek thrills, yet you decided to stop on the way there and be a freelance artist on the way there, hope that gave you your thrill for the day and some money..." She then began to walk off, saying quietly yet in a tone that the others could hear. "Ugh, I need a drink right now..."

Lavernius was hurt by her blatant dismissal of him and her slight mocking of his thrill seeking. He let it go though and quickly caught up with her. "Listen Ana, you can't let this Mangler business effect you negatively. Let me buy you a drink and we can talk." LA was all about the thrills, but they weren't always gonna be there.

Anastasiya glanced to her side to see Lavernius there speaking about the issue. "No, no it's not that." She lied, she and Eddie came to have the Mangler answer for the lives he snuffed out with death. And it completely flopped in their faces... But though her cold eyes never lost their coldness she once more smiled slightly. "Sure, talking would be nice, and a drink... Drinks are always nice too." She put her arms in her jacket and continues walking up ahead. Now with her curiosity slightly piqued she asked, "So what were you doing at the time when you decided to call me?"

Lavernius half smiled and decided to ignore Ana's small lie. He stretched his arms over his head cracking his back and let out a sigh of relief. "When I called you earlier I was investigating at the Police Station. Nothing conclusive though. A bit more info than I knew before though. I suppose you were just on the trail of the Mangler? Would have been nice for me to get a bit of the action."

The couple's eyes opened wide as they witnessed all the food get devoured in mere minutes.  "Ooh boy, you're hungry aintcha?"  Bonnie laughed as she took the plate to the sink.  "Whoa, easy there pardner... we're not here to hurt ya, just showin ya a bit of southern hospitality, that's all..."  Clyde said as he took off his red apron.  "Iced tea?"  Bonnie said as she got a pitcher of iced tea and put in on the table.The two sat down next to each other in front of Jonathan.  "Say fella, I'm gonna go ahead and talk about the elephant in the room here..."  Clyde leaned in a grinned.  "Yeah... the elephant..."  Bonnie also leaned in as if imitating Clyde.  "You got some superhuman powers..."  Clyde started.  "LIKE THE FLASH!"  Bonnie butt in.  


"Your powers, can you tell us how you got it?"  Clyde asked as he poured iced tea in a cup.

Before the couple could finish what they were saying, Jonathan has already zoomed out of the restaurant. In his panic, he ran around the city and found himself in an abandoned lot that only a few people go to. He spent the rest of the day here, partly to tinker with his newfound power and partly to think about what happened over the past few hours . 


While he was tinkering with his power, he found out that his eyesight was clearer while he was running and that he didn't need glassess while running. However, he decided to keep them on anyway since his eyesight reverts back to it's normal, blurry state when stopping. He also found out that if he shakes his body fast enough, he'll look like a blur to every one around him and his voice becomes really distorted. He should probably use this if he intends on using his ability in large crowds.  


He also realized that his power may have a limit on how much it can be used. Jonathan remembered he didn't eat before running last time. Maybe that has a connection to how much he can use his ability in a day. If Mr. Clyde and Ms. Bonnie didn't find me that time, who knows what could've happened to me.


Jonathan decided to go back to the restaurant to apologize for leaving them so suddenly and thank them properly for feeding him. But before going to the restaurant, he got hungry and decided to buy 20 burgers so that he could eat them on the way. But by the time he got there, he only has 5 burgrs left in his paper bag but that's the least of his worries. When he got there, the place was surrounded by police officers and... kittens? Wiping the crumbs off his face, he approached one of the nearby bystanders. "Excuse me sir, but what happened here? Why are there so many officers?"
