Metropolis

As Scarlett pulled away from her reach she felt like this was the reverse situation of what happened earlier. Although, Talon wasn’t the least surprised by this as she did say that they hurt and upon being re dressed, winced when she turned back around.


“So... you two haven't had anything like this?”


At this she blinked, not really sure how to explain her symptoms but trying to anyways.


“Well, I don’t feel any different, but everything around me seems to be acting up when I’m touching it; like my couch flying up from under me when I sat on it. That chair breaking had something to do with it too…” she noted.


The lights of the room suddenly got a whole lot brighter and Talon looked up to see if it was just her imagination. It wasn’t, the lights blinded her when her eyes made contact, and she averted them immediately, noticing that the temperature had upped a few notches...were they trying to bake them?
 
Trying to open his eyes, Alex could faintly see the passing of lights over head and could barely hear people talking.


“What happened to him?” The man that was standing near his head asked.


“We found him near the turn pike outside the base, his car rolled over the embankent.” the second man said that stood on his right side.


“U...g...h...” Alex muttered while laying upon the gurney.


“Quiet. Do not strain yourself, well have you in the OR in a little.


As the military soldiers wheeled him through the hallways,, they passed through the corridor that held all the other ‘supers’.


Tilting his head to the side, blood running over his body from every wound on his body. Looking through the door, he seen quite a bit of people. As he seen the people, he coughed up some blood over the white sheets.


“He’s worse then we thought! We need to get him to the OR now!” The man yelled as he started to speed up the gurney.
 
Scarlett hadn't even been paying attention to the other people in the room other than the two she was talking to. She was mildly interested in the other people who had this 'virus' but the conversation she was having with Eve and Talon was enough to distract her from everything else.


She did notice the room warm though and even though she didn't look up, like Talon had, she could tell that the lights had gotten brighter. What really caught her attention though was the guy on the gurney that was suddenly rushed through the room that she was in. Suddenly her back didn't seem so bad.


Once he was gone, she was left wondering what was going on in the room. She glanced around the room. Nobody seemed completely calm, but one person in particular seemed to stick out right now, as far as behavior went. He wasn't too far away but far enough that she hadn't noticed him. He was with a giant and he seemed like he was suffering from some head pain. Was he causing all of this? Or maybe the lights were giving him a migraine, which she could understand since they were starting to give her a headache and she didn't even get migraines.


She was curious and she might have approached the guy, but the giant next to him was a little too intimidating.
 
The guards in the main hall had drawn their smg's or glocks and were looking around fervently for the cause of this weird phenomenon.


There have been troubles with the virus-people for days now and they have grown relatively accustomed to powers breaking out but they still had to stay wary of dangerous powers being unleashed so they were all on their toes.


Considering the only person acting weird was the boy clutching his head, a couple of guards quickly ran up to him accompanied by a 'whitecoat' who instantly gave him an injection that put him in a temporary comatose.


Suddenly everything started to move rapidly. A whole bunch of whitecoats started to round 'patients' up and took them along with them.


A couple of the docters walked up rapidly to Eve, Scarlett and Talon and asked them all to follow a docter to their analysis.


Eve bid her farewell to Scarlett and Talon before walking away with an old, seriouslooking man in the standard white coat.


After going through some serenely white halls they stopped at a closed door that revealed a small room with a desk, some weird looking devices with a nurse, and a guard inside.


" Ok, don't be afraid. We're just going to scan your brainactivity for any anomalies. "


After being put on some weird metal tiara that had a jello-like feel to her head she got connected to the scanners by metal clasps attached to the 'tiara'.


The docter stared intently at his screen and after a few minutes he exclaimed calmly.


" Your brainactivity and brainwaves seem to be fluctuating between normal behaviour and an erradic one. It's my opinion that you will grow mental, or telekinetic if you will, powers in time. Are there any other anomalies that you have experienced? "


" Yes, I've been having weird exstatic feelings when running, at a MUCH faster pace than normal. I've also noticed an increase in my reflex-time. "


" It's possible that you are becoming extremely acrobatic due to the virus, you will probably be able to run at much fast pace, jump higher, have better reflexes and such. "


" ...Ok, so what happens now? "


" We'll be giving you a custom training to help you control your powers, effective immediatly. After which you'll be sent to a mentor of your choice. A known superhero that is aiding us by mentoring new 'superhumans. "


" Oh " Was all Eve could say, her mind dazed by all this information. It all seemed so surreal, but she was kinda happy actually. She was granted such powers and she couldn't help but appreciate it.
 
As the men got Alex into the operating room, they placed him on the operating table.


"We need to get these clothes off and get this blood cleaned up!" One of the doctors yelled as he reached for a pair of scissors.


"Ok." The second doctor said as she reached for the gauze and a bowl of purified water.


As the doctor cut the shirt from Alex, the second doctor cleaned the blood from the wounds. As the doctors were getting prepared to start surgery, one of the nurses was about to stick the iv in Alex's arm.


"NO!" Alex yelled as he reached up and grabbed the woman's arm.


As he grabbed the woman's arm, there was a cracking sound, followed by a loud yell that echoed throughout the base. Blinking a few times, Alex let go of of the nurses arm, he rolled over and fell off the table.


"Where am I?" Alex said as he landed on his hands and knees.
 
The white-coated doctors approached the group of three and one took Eve away, the other two had to look at their charts first. Unlike the old man who took their friend away, Talon and Scarlett’s doctors were quiet young and even cute. When chosen by the dark haired male, who was over a foot taller, she smiled coyly, lucky her.


 “Have fun” she noted back,


Then she was left to follow the handsome man as he led her to who-knows-where, she wasn’t really paying attention. She was too busy checking the male out, not that she had a chance with her weird abilities, but did he ever have some hot buns. Even risking a light touch as she ‘accidently’ bumped past him on her way into the examination room. Hard as steel.


“Sorry about that” she apologized,


“It’s okay. I’ll just have to get you back later” he joked, in an accent that was hard to place.


Talon didn’t realize he would joke back and blushed at his flirting, he laughed at her reddened face, always smiling.


“Soooo…” he started,


“Talon” she introduced


“Talon” he repeated, which causes her to smile back at him.


“What kind of symptoms have you had?” he asked


“Symptoms?” she wonders, then remembers why she was there


“Oh…uh….” she trailed, not too sure how to explain them.


“Let’s just get your specifics down” he supplies, to which she agrees, standing up


“5’3”…you’re so tiny!” he jokes, leading her to a weight scale.


She stepped onto the weight scale, expecting it to slant up under her weight; instead, it balanced out at zero. Glancing at the hot doctor, he took an experimental step on the scale, just in case. She watched as the scale hit the top, he looked at her again, before stepping off. As it balanced out, she giggled unsure what the hell was happening,


“Ptshhh” he sounds, causing her to full out laugh.
 
Finally! Something was happening! White-coated men and women came in to escort each of the people in the room, the people who were experiencing strange symptoms, away. Escorting them to what Scarlett could only assume were other rooms. She had been watching the guy with the migraine, but as soon as she heard more people entering the room her attention had been stolen, and when she'd seen that a few were walking straight for them, she was so ready to go get this over with that she had forgotten about the guy with the migraine altogether.


She hardly acknowledged Eve and Talon talking once the white coats had come and she may have been more appreciative of the attractive male doctor if she hadn't been so preoccupied with trying to keep a straight face. He greeted her once he approached and she forced a smile. Now she had to get up, but she hesitated. Moving hurt and she wasn't looking forward to it. But maybe this would be like ripping off a band aid. With that thought in mind she took a breath and pushed herself up to her feet.


So it wasn't exactly like ripping off a band aid. Not only had it hurt, but the pain was lingering and apparently it was obvious. The white coat grabbed onto her as if he thought she was about to fall over, but she broke away from him and assured that she was okay, even if she might not be. She didn't know what was going on with her. She didn't know if she was okay or not. That's why she was here.


She followed the man down a hall silently, at least until he introduced himself. She looked over at him "I'm Scarlett." she wasn't in the most talkative mood and once she told him her name, she adverted her gaze and started to look around the place. The halls were completely white with fluorescent lights running along the ceiling.


As they walked she could hear that a commotion. It was coming from up ahead and she couldn't deny she was a little curious, and also a little mortified. She could hear people shouting and screaming and she continued walking towards the sound, not realizing that the man that she was supposed to be following had turned a corner. He noticed that she was going the wrong way though and had quickly caught up with her to redirect her.


"Scarlett, that's the wrong way." he told her. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her towards the right direction. It was exactly the wrong thing to do. Scarlett cried out as the tug he'd given her, no matter how gentle he had meant to be, twisted and pulled at her back and the skin on it. The side that she'd felt a sharp pain in before hurt a heck of a lot more, but when she reflexively hunched over and hugged herself, she suddenly felt the same sharp pain in the other side.


Her eyes teared as she tried to suffer through whatever was going on not-so-silently, but it only seemed to be getting worse.


The man in the white coat was puzzled, but not too surprised. She started to drop to the ground but before she could he hooked an arm around her waist and ended up carrying most of her wait into a room where he could try to help her.
 
As Alex made his way to his feet, he stumbled around before getting his footing. Grabbing a hold of the wall, Alex looked around the room.


"Where am I!?" Alex asked in an angry tone.


As he leaned against the wall, he looked at one of the doctors. Narrowing his eyes at the nurse behind the doctor, he seen her lying on the ground and clutching at her arm.


"Did i do that?" Alex asked as he looked down towards the ground in shame.


Taking in a deep breath, Alex stayed at the door and waited for any sort of response.
 
As Artemis was knocked out by the doctors,Butler caught him. He glared at the doctors,and asked, "What now,then?"
 
" We'll take him to see a docter to analyze his seemingly uncontrolled powers, and train him in such a way that'll make him stronger and able to control his abilities. "


" I take it you're his father or something? You're allowed to come with him if you want. "
 
Butler nodded,and followed the doctors,holding Artemis in his arms. "Do you need any information,or fees?"
 
The docter merely shook his head as he kept walking in front of Butler and Artemis towards his office.


" We'll do some brainscans after he wakes up, which should be any minute now. "


" I take it this wasn't the first time something like this happend while he experiences headache? "


The docter opened the door and revealed a serene office, the only thing that seemed out of place was the guard standing with a serious expression on his face and with a submachinegun in his hands, against a wall.


" We'll wait for him to wake up now. "
 
Butler nodded,and set Artemis down on the examination table,then taken a position beside it. He saw the soldier constantly giving sideways glances to Butler and Artemis,and was fidgeting almost as much. "Nervous,I see. Don't be,unless you plan to hurt Artemis. Then you should be fearing for your life." Butler said this offhandedly,almost casually.


Meanwhile,Artemis stirred on the table. He sat up,clutching his head. "What happened?"
 
" We relocated you to an office to investigate your obvious powers and help you master them. "


" We'll just do some standard tests and we'll see how it goes from there. "


OOC: Feel free to play as the docter aswell, just stay in key with the main story.
 
The doctor removed what appeared to be a plastic mesh hat from an equipment cabinent,and fitted it to Artemis' head. "This should only take a few minutes,master...?" "Fowl. Artemis Fowl II." "Right. Now,once this gets plugged in,we can get this ball rolling..."


The doctor plugged in the headpiece,and watched a monitor intently. His assistant began asking questions. "What symptoms do you show? Does anything out of the ordinary happen during these episodes? Did anything unexplainable happen to you recenly?"


Artemis answered them in order, "Splitting headaches;electronics either start acting up or do something strange,like shoot lasers;and I've been finding myself in the strangest places when I wake up from sleeping. Like on the hotel's roof. Or in the trunk of the Mercedes." "Good thing you called that time,sir." "Yes,indeed."


"Aaaaand....Done. Let's see...According to the chart and your answers,you appear to have Technomancy and Technokenisis...Very interesting. We don't have anyone on record with those powers...Quite interesting,indeed. But,you do have one stock power;Teleportation. Now then..." The doctor got up from his stool by the monitor,and handed Artemis a laser pointer and a lens. "A practical test. Try to fire a weaponised laser beam at my assistant's pocket mirror."


The doctor's assistant had a pocket mirror in her hand. She looked rather nervous,and the soldier had his weapon pointed at Artemis,but it was quickly moved by Butler,who forced the soldier's arms to a position where the weapon was held across his chest.


Artemis taken the laser pointer,and the lens,and pointed them at the mirror. He turned on the pointer...And nothing spectacular happened. The room was in anticipating silence for five solid minutes when Artemis said, "I don't think it'll work on command."
 
As the doctors came into motion, Gear watched everything with an odd fascination which started dulling as no one went near here. Even after the brat and his guard dog got taken off. Slowly though, a person crept up near her, they were small, and a bit meek looking, but all professional.


"Come with me please. And before you tell me off, I was already warned about you and two soldiers are waiting in the corner over there to restrict you if you so much as raise your voice."


Well, wasn't that a threat? Nodding her head, she followed after the small doctor as two soldiers joined at her side. They were wary though, keeping their distance. As they were put into a room, she was told to sit down and did just that. As an assistant came over and took her sunglasses, jacket and scarf from her, Gear felt rather naked.


Though, with all the random rapid skin changes, there wasn't really any need to worry about being recognized. "This might sting a bit." Without warning, the doctor came back and snapped things onto her head a bit roughly. "Now, I'm going to say things, you say the first thing that comes to your mind."


"Okay.." Gear said a bit slowly, before the doctor started.


"Dark."


"Cover."


"Bad."


"Dead."


"White."


"Innocence."


"Gun."


"Loud."


"Red."


"Destruction."


The tone of Gear's voice, made the Doctor look up, before narrowing their eyes before shrugging, printing something off and handing it to her assistant. The assistant coughed a bit, while looking it over before looking at Gear, and handing it back to the doctor.


"As it seems, you have some problems. Not the virus kind, though you are infected. You have some serious mental things to work through before I can advise even minimal training, but your abnormalities could also be caused by the extra area of heat sparky around in your head, so I can't not advise it either.


"As of right now, we can be certain you have a strong Pyrokinesis, as well as some different things changing in your head. Your going to get a lot more flexible and be able to do things you wouldn't be able to before. If you'd like, I can show you exactly what the chemical readings in your brain is telling your muscles and body to do. As for your skin and hair, unfortunately, that just came along with it and your stuck with it and we can't find a cause for it."
 
Renny sat down in the middle of the floor as people exited with men and women in doctor costumes. She silently shook her head as she saw friends huddle together, probably whispering the latest gossip to one another. Just as she had curled up in a ball on the cold floor, someone nudged her rudely with their shoe. Renny kept her eyes shut as she tried to let herself drift off to somewhere else. Instead of another simple nudge, the person took her by the arm and dragged her into a standing position. Her eyes shot open and glared only to find that the doctor was glaring back only more cold. She quickly backed down and allowed him to drag her to one of the rooms. Without saying much of anything, he pointed to an examination table and she followed his direction by sitting on it.


A strange sort of medical hat was placed on her head and plugged in. "Brain scan?" she absentmindedly thought to herself as her feet casually did little kicks in the air since her feet couldn't touch the ground. The impatient doctor with dark circles under his eyes looked back at his clipboard while reviewing the results. "Go over to that treadmill," he said, keeping his eyes glued to his clipboard. What could really be all that interesting there anyway?


"I'd rather not. See, I'm not much of an athlete and could possibly pass out from exercising too much," Renny claimed as she twiddled her thumbs. The doctor narrowed his eyes again, and she knew she didn't have much of a choice in the matter. On the treadmill, he turned it on by hitting quite a few buttons. Soon enough, he was speeding it up so fast that Renny felt as though she would fly off the back of it. She had never run that fast before in her life. When he abruptly shut the damned contraption off, Renny fell backward and hit her head right against the floor. "Ow!"


"Let me take a guess. I suppose you have had multiple migraines lately, correct?" Renny nodded. "To put it simply, you seem to be able to run faster than you should be capable. Not only that, but your brain has heated up abnormally. I take it you also can move fire around without coming into contact with it. Either that or you've been out into the sun too long."
 
Scarlett could remember being carried into a room, what seemed like a swarm of doctors and that was about it. Now she was waking up, they must have decided it would be easier to deal with whatever was going on with her if she couldn't struggle against them. Or maybe they were afraid of something happening, it did seem like a sense of urgency helped powers to surface on occasion but as far as she knew she just had something growing out of her back. She had been pretty sure these people weren't out to hurt her, but she had instinctively tried to free herself from them.


Her eyes opened slowly and she found herself squinting while her eyes adjusted to the light in the room. Once they did, she looked around, still a little disoriented. She was lying on her stomach in what seemed like a hospital bed and the room seemed clean enough to eat off of the floor. So... where was she? Still at the military base? She was still too groggy to sit up and look around.


Just as she was wondering, the doctor from before walked into the room. "You're awake." he smiled as he approached her "I didn't know what was wrong with you so I took you to the ER." he explained "How are you feeling?"


Until he asked she hadn't realized that all of the pain in her back was gone but when she took a moment to think about how she was feeling, she realized that it felt fine. "A lot better." she replied simply. She noticed him staring at whatever was on her back, she could feel them as if they were an extension of her body but she couldn't quite tell what they were. She was almost afraid to ask but she would be finding out sooner or later, probably sooner. "What are they?"


"Here," he reached for something, a mirror, and held it in front of Scarlett. Apparently trying to angle it so she could see her back, but she had to grab onto it and adjust it into a better position. Two small, feathered wings. They were about the size of chickens' wings and red like a cardinal. "I sprouted wings?" she was a little surprised, but at least she wasn't going to be a spider-lady or anything.


The doctor nodded even though she wasn't looking at him. "I imagine they'll grow large enough that you will be able to fly. And judging by how quickly they grew to this size it shouldn't be too long." he told her. There was no way to be sure how large they would grow but it only made sense that they would be useless at such a small size and that they would get bigger. "That's not the only thing either. They were flapping around while you were sleeping and they were creating these gusts of wind that were too strong not to be an ability. Wind manipulation?" It sounded like a question but Scarlett understood.


At this point she set down the mirror and sat up, even though she was still tired, and looked over her shoulder at the bright red wings. It was going to take some practice it seemed, but she could move these wings. She didn't see any gusts though. Of course she couldn't expect to be able to control it right away. So she was a super after all. She did have this 'virus.' Now what?
 
" Now what? " Asked Eve of the docter after taking in all this new information.


" Well, we'll do some training with you in order to see if you're capable of controlling your powers. "


" What if I'm not ? "


The docter suddenly looked even more serious.


" Just hope that you will...Now, let's get you to the testing grounds shall we? We have custom training grounds for most 'known' abilities in the world, thanks to the advice given to us by many pre-virus superheroes. "


Eve was relieved of the 'brainhat' and stood up, ready to follow the docter.


" Just follow this man, there'll be people standing by to help you once you arrive at the training facility. "


After a while of walking in and out of buildings they finally arrived at this oddly shaped hangar and entered. What she saw was an impossible-looking parkour.


" We'll be helping you with your movement skills first. " Said a female docter who approached her from the side, she was busy looking at a chart as she walked and talked.


" Please go into that booth and change your outfit, we've given you a special suit that helps you with your new flexibility, mobility and power. It's a suit that's designed especially for mental-acrobatic patients. We have customized everything for everyone, I hope you'll like yours. "
 
After the laughing fit was over, Talon was instructed over to the bed and leaned against the side, staring at the nameless doctor.


“So now what?” she asked him,


“Now we go onto the actual examination, and take off your clothes” he said, causing her eyes to widen.


“Chhh” he teased,


She could only smile in response, as he looked down at the chart


“Oh noes! You’re actually leaving me” he said, feigning a tear.


“Where to?” she questions, actually interested


“Just follow me, babe” he said, winking


At a pace much closer than before, the two walked down the hall towards the training facility, where he explained she was heading. After of course, a few more sexual jokes and being called a bully after teasing him back.


“Sorry, I’ll have to leave you here” he apologized


“Okay, Doc” she answered, in hopes of getting a name.


Instead, he hugged her briefly in the hall which was surprising until he ‘grabby handed’ her lower back side. When he back away, she glowered and he laughed,


“Pay-back”


Talon quirked her brow and waved as they separated from each other, still having a silly grin on her face. She entered the training hanger in the same way, but the smile disappeared due to the influx of people there. A scientist who spotted her welcomed her to the area,


“Welcome to the physical training area”


Looking around at the area she noticed that there were many spare objects lying about, as if anything that didn’t fit in anywhere else, went here. There were crash mats, boxing bags along with tackle stands, and a weight lifting area stood off to the side. The last thing she noticed were the trashed vehicles piled at the very back, and she eyed a scientist suspiciously.


“We’ll try to help you control your powers…” he informed, directing her to a booth


“We even have a special suit customized for you” he continued


Talon could only sigh,


“Good luck with that” she noted.
 
Gear leaned forward slightly. "So this means what exactly?"


The doctor sighed, "It means I'm handing you over to someone who probably can keep you under wraps. gentlemen?" The doctor motioned a hand for her to be taken off, and the guards, stood by Gear's side, pulling the things off her head a bit painfully. Grabbing a hold of each arm, the walked her down countless hallways, through various doors.Then arriving in something that looked like an white room with lots of little cubicles, with a lot of sprinklers on the ceiling, and a safe box behind something Gear could only imagine was more doctors and guards and soldiers to watch what she did.


Getting shoved into the room, then lead to a cubicle, she was put inside the thing, and the door made of something she couldn't name, was shut on her. A speaker crackled into being over her somewhere. "Greetings, this room has been designed to suit your fist testing needs, and your most dangerous ones. We want these under wraps before you can attempt your others, or you'll be a danger to everyone else. Now, a set of clothes will be dropped off to you. Put them on and we shall begin."


"Uh.....why?"


"You wouldn't want to burn your clothes off would you? Or have them rip in your next training course? Trust us, these are better for you."
 
"Where are you! Where do you think you are!" The doctor yelled out at Alex.


As Alex looked around, he spotted a few military guards with their guns drawn and aimed at him. As he seen this, it angered him slightly and he hit the wall he was holding onto. As his hand collided with the wall, the guards pressed down on their triggers and sent rounds down range at Alex's chest. As the bullets his his chest, it sent him sliding backwards through the doorway. falling through the door, Alex fell on the ground and screamed in pain.


"AHHHHHH!!!!" He shouted as he started to get his footing.


Rolling over to his right, Alex punched and cracked the ground. The guards in response to Alex, ran out the door with their guns drawn and aimed at Alex once again.


"Freeze now!" The guards yelled out in what seemed like unison.


Getting up to his knees, Alex grunted and stared the military men down. Taking his stance up on his feet, Alex clinched his fist and then pointed at the men.


"What the hell is your problem! You are supposed to be helping us, and look at you! You are just firing at me!" Alex said as he stared the guards down.


"If you were not hostile, then we would not have to open fire upon you." the first guard replied.


Taking a step closer, the second guard placed his gun to his side and reached for his hand cuffs. As the guard walked behind Alex, he reached up and ordered him to put his hands behind his back. Alex lowered his head and started to put his hands behind his back. Just as his left hand got behind him, he quickly turned around and pushed the guard. As he pushed the guard, the man flew backwards and slid down the hallway. The second guard who was still aiming his gun at Alex, pulled the trigger and sent 5 rounds at Alex's back. As the rounds hit, Alex started to get angry again. Turning and looking at the man, he ran as fast as he could and tackled the man. Landing on top of the man, Alex started to punch the man. Holding back as much strength as he could as to not kill the man, he just wanted the man out of the way so he could escape this hostile army base. As Alex punched the man, the man yelled in pain. Quickly getting up, Alex looked around and tried to figure a way out of the base.


As he looked around, he seen a doorway and made straight for it. Just as he started to run for it, he was interrupted by a force that he could not see. The force slammed him all the way back until he collided with the wall. Coughing from the force, he looked at the giant figure in front of him, he was shocked to what he seen. The giant figure, clad in bright blue, and red. Reaching up and grabbing a hold of the man's wrist, Alex started to speak up.


"LET GO OF ME, NOW!" Alex yelled as he stared at the man.


"Look at yourself! You can not control anything about yourself and look at how much damage you just did to the people that tried to help you." The man said as he looked Alex in the face.


Alex's eyes widened as he seen the man's face. Who was this man that could subdue a new hero with super strength, it was none other then superman.
 
Now what? She figured the doctor would tell her, but it didn't keep her from wondering. Did she have to stay here or did she have to go home? Would she get any sort of training or explanation or anything more than a statement of the obvious? Well... maybe it wasn't all obvious but she felt like this handsome, young doctor had hardly scraped the surface of the answers she wanted and whether he knew the answers or not she felt like he should be talking more, even if it was just to break the silence.


Scarlett watched him as he wrote some things on some papers on a clipboard. She could only assume it was all off the information he had gathered about her abilities. That's why she was here wasn't it? Her legs hung off of the edge of the bed, ankles crossed, and her hands held on to the edge of it, her arms propping her up as she sat slightly hunched over. In the silence all she could do was check things out but there wasn't much in the room. Luckily the doctor wasn't bad to look at. He looked almost perfect... except some hair hanging in his face that he was too busy to be bothered by.


She couldn't stop staring at it, it needed to be fixed. How could he even see with his hair in his eyes like that?? She huffed a sigh and felt the breeze all the way to her toes and she had to stop and look down to see how far away they were. Far enough that she had been convinced that she really could manipulate wind. It was one thing to be told that it had happened and another to actually witness it. She had still been a little drowsy when he'd told her about it and hadn't questioned it but she also hadn't been completely convinced. Now she was.


Maybe she could test it out while she was waiting instead of staring at the doctor. Being unable to control her powers and causing a disaster had never crossed her mind. She'd chosen a target, she inhaled and blew the air out of her mouth. She'd imagined a stream of air blowing out of her mouth and pushing the doctor's hair out of his face. In reality a gust blew past the doctor's head, completely tousling his hair around and making it worse. He stopped what he was doing and looked over at her. She was almost mortified but gave him an embarrassed smile "Oops..."


He chuckled at her and went straight back to what he had been doing "I won't be much longer." he told her.


Scarlett turned to the side and lifted her legs back onto the bed and lied down on her side, still facing the doctor. "So," she decided to question him a little "Are you going to help me control these abilities or experiment on me?" she was half joking but she was glad he chuckled at her again, like it was silly just to say something like that. Then again he could be laughing because it was silly of her to think they were going to help her, but he didn't give her any evil vibes so she had decided to trust him.


"We are going to give you some training to teach you to control your powers. Then we can help you get in contact with a mentor, someone who has been a super for a long time and that can help you further."


It didn't sound so bad. Training and a mentor actually sounded pretty darn good about now. She obviously couldn't control her powers yet. Well actually... She looked over her shoulder and tried moving the wings that had sprouted out of her back. They moved okay but it would still take some practice. A little control was better than none. Maybe her mentor should be Hawkgirl, she could teach her how to fly once these wings got big enough. "What kind of--"


Before she could even ask about the training they were going to give her, the halls seemed to come alive. She could hear plenty of shouting and screaming to get her on her feet. The doctor's attention had been captured as well and he made his way to the door to peek outside, Scarlett following behind him curiously. Curious about so many things. What was happening? Was it the same person she had heard before? Where were her shoes? Until she felt the cold floor on her bare feet she hadn't even realized that she was missing some of her belongings. It wasn't really surprising but where was all of her stuff?


She peeked down the hall and she could see the cause of the commotion. And suddenly... there was Superman! To save the day... sort of. She got to hear Superman speak to they guy in the hall before the doctor dragged her back into the room and shut the door. "I didn't realize Superman was such a ****..." she thought aloud as she walked back over to the bed and hopped back onto it.


"That kid was causing problems, Superman was just keeping him from hurting anyone else."


She shrugged "He could have just stopped him instead of slamming him up against a wall. He can't control his powers, that's why he's here isn't it? I'm sure he wasn't trying to hurt people."


"But he did."


So this guy didn't even care that Superman was using force as a first resort against new supers? New supers that seemed confused and upset and that couldn't control their powers? "Well... He'd better apologize." Maybe the doctor was right and Superman was just doing his job. Maybe Superman couldn't control himself completely either. Maybe she could give him one more chance. She saw the doctor smile and realized she had been in the middle of a question "What kind of training is it?" she asked.


[[Decided to assume they were nearby :8D:


I wasn't actually finished with this part, but it's 4am and I need sleep.


So I'll do like I did the last two posts and split this one up too 8'DD]]
 
After hearing a scuffle,Artemis looked at Butler,who was already poking his head out into the hall,observing the commotion. He came back,and reported, "A man in blue,wearing a red cape just assaulted a young man who was suffering from bullet wounds. I advise we stay put for now."


Artemis nodded,and kept trying to make his gift work. If he built the C Cube,he could certainly master a new bodily process. That's when the room started to get colder. Slowly,but surely,the AC unit started to go into overdrive,cooling off the room.
 
Eve poked her head out from behind the booth's curtain with red cheeks and a saddened look on her face.


" This is ... not for me... " She practically spoke with a tone of begging for her old clothes back.


The doctor waved her complaint away with his chart though.


" Come on, we don't have all day. "





Eve put on a pouty face and stepped out from under the curtain, the white spandex-like suit with black tribal-like patterns on it was beautiful but it was easily understandable why Eve was so flustered.


It was very tight and seemed to put Eve on display.


The doctor couldn't help but stare with a smile at the shy girl with the costume and mask on. She looked mysterious, powerful and seductive in it, the shy attitude made it complete.


" You have nothing to be ashamed of. Now come here so I can explain to you how this part of the training will work. "


Reluctantly Eve stepped closer and tried to overcome her embarassement by focusing on other things. Now that she looked closer at the parkour, it seemed pretty insane.


There were narrow passages that no person could jump or slide through with training, large walls, deep landings with no stairs to get out of...This was going to be rough, she thought.


" We'll give you your weapon after you complete this trainingparkour within 1 minute & 55 seconds. Ready when you are. "
