Metropolis

This did not prove to be wise. Alice's power cell absorbed the shock of the bolt, letting her charge her canon and quickly and blast his own energy back at him. She was careful not to aim for him, but rather the ground at his feet. The asphalt exploded and shot up at the blast, making for good debris.
 
neroh tripped but quickly recovered running into a broken down building.he climbed up two levels and pulled out some more quarters he only had ten left. he threw 5 into the air then pointed his arm where livewire was a massive bolt ran threw his arm and launched all five of the bullets at her with incredible speed and force.


"so i can use my electrical attacks on you and i dont know if what your shooting is electricity"neroh thought to himself
 
Alice ducked, managing to avoid near death, but her power cell wasn't so lucky. One of the quarters flew so close, it struck the cell, severing a vertebrae from the rest. The cell lost power; Alice's canon fell from her arm with her powers no longer holding it on.


"Shit," Alice curse, followed by an explicit stream of curses. She ducked under the rubble, curling up on her side. Without the power cell, she had no control over her power, any second, it would go haywire.


And it didn't disappoint. As the power stored up in the cell was re-released into her body, her powers exploded. She was soon consumed in a mass of energy, zapping everything around her. The street light: gone. The power line: gone. Anything that offered energy was zapped, and that included a certain electro.


(Alice in her crazy mode >:3)

neroh about to be zapped by livewires power quickly brought all the metal in the building around him and stabbed some of the rebar threw the building into the grounds.once the attack hit his deffensive orb the power was grounded into the earth. he thought of what he could do in thise situation, but nothing came to mind his best bet was to let her run out of energy but then he started to here the building creek and bend then he relised that he had just ripped out all of the building support.


"oh shit" neroh said as the building collapsed in on hs orb
 
As the rumble fell, a beam struck Alice in the head. She yelped, then slowly dipped into unconsciousness. The last thing she heard was the scream of police sirens approaching...
 
Neroh his himself out of the rubble his head was cut open and it was bleeding into his eye and one of the bars had stabbed into his side he grabbed the bar and yelled in anger and pain he then looked girl laying on the ground. All of a sudden a pink pony appeared in a bubble by neroh


"take her too crap"neroh said as the two teleported away in bubbles


They appeared the old forest outside of town in a caben

Alice was out for a while, a bump on her head from where she was struck. But before long, she began to stir. She cracked an eyes open to see the electro boy. She didn't quite know what to make of it, other than he'd saved her. She had to be able to trust him if she wanted to get her power cell fixed.


Alice pulled out her cellphone, cleverly protected withing a rubber box. She handed it to him.


"There's a number on my speed dial," She said, her voice soft, "Tell him to get here fast."
 
By now, the scientists that had previously been helping Scarlett were restraining her, a couple of soldiers making their way over as well. After putting herself between Superman and Superboy once they seemed to think that she would do it again... and maybe she would. Who knew? She hadn't planned to run out into the middle of the fight at first either. She could only guess the scientists and soldiers were worried about her well being. Since she'd arrived here she had been nothing but docile, although it was true that she had wandered off without permission when she was supposed to be examined, and also that she had run out to help Superboy and hadn't gotten herself off of the battlefield until she had been ready to leave, not when she had been told to. So she wasn't the best at doing what she was told and that was probably why she was being restrained now, but her eyes remained on the fight until suddenly Superboy was gone and the wall behind her seemed to explode.


She turned her head and saw the large hole in the wall. She stood, a little confused at first but Superboy had apparently run away and once it seemed like he wasn't coming back, Scarlett started struggling against the people holding her back. "Superboy!" she called out the only name she knew him by, just hoping that he would hear her and come back. She didn't know what the deal was between him and Superman but if he was here then he must have needed help, right? Running off wasn't going to help him any and her first instinct was to run after him and convince him to stay. Unfortunately the people holding her had no intention of letting her go. But she didn't give up just yet "Let go!" As if they were going to listen to her. She didn't know what they were so worried about, honestly. She wasn't going to run away or anything. If she didn't want to be here, she wouldn't have come. Besides that, why did it matter if she left? This wasn't prison as far as she knew. Clearly she wasn't going to get away no matter how hard sh struggled.
 
Alexander Squires sat glumly in his cell. Once again,he was bored. He often heard the doctors tell the men with guns to not let that happen,but the men with guns interrupted,saying it was for the safety of the base. So,here he was,bored,with nothing to do but poke at the gaps in his teeth,sleep,and stare at four featureless walls. He sighed,and thought about something innocent,yet fun. Like...A swirling ball of light. "That'd be fun to play with..." Then,from the corner of his vision,a swirling ball of light drifted across the room. It was the size of a baseball,and shifted the colours of the rainbow.


"Pretty!" Alex never knew how the scientists done it,but they always gave him the thing he wanted to play with. It never once crossed his mind that HE was the source of these things,however. He grabbed the ball of light,and began to play with it,as all children do,first imagining it to be a superhero,then a spaceship,and finally,a fairy. The light taken the shape of all of these things,but never the size or colour. He was having fun,but it was fleeting.


After a while,he gently tossed the ball of light into the corner. He walked up to the wall that he knew was a hidden panel door,and banged on it. He shouted,screamed. He threw a tantrum. He wanted to go somewhere fun. He wanted to be anywhere but this boring place.
 
neroh slapped a patch where the bar had stabbed him. he looked at the girl and then at her phone swiping it from her then going threw the numbers and calling the person telling them where they where and how to get there then he slang the phone back on the bed next to her and sat back at the desk reading a physics book


"man help the cops out stop the evil girl now i havent studied for the stupid test and i have a hole in my side how did everything go so wrong" neroh slammed his head against the desk grabbing his side
 
Alice laid on her stomach, trying to keep from waking up too much. The occasional spark flew from, but nothing like the sheer build up of energy shown before. It only seemed like a few minutes before someone was all but pounding down the door. Outside stood a man in a button up shirt and pair of slacks. He certainly didn't look like he would be tromping through the forest unless he had to. The briefcase he held concluded this.
 
neroh swung the door open and pointed at the bed where she was stomping back to he desk where he powered a lightbulb for light. he had a physics book open and was wrighting down notes. he took a brake everyonce and awhile as the man worked on the girl offering him a drink or a snack then going back to studying for his test. as he was about to fall asleep someone called him


"hello....ya dad...no im staying with my friend.....NO, NO GIRLS ARE HERE.....ill see you in the morning im taking care of a girrrr...i mean im taking care of my friends dog uuuuh named girrrr ya that it grrr....alright dad goodnight"neroh said with a kind hearted voice


laying his phone down he layed beside the girl in the bed and skooted all the way to the edge of the king sized bed letting the man finish
 
The man didn't say much. He hurried over to the bed and set his briefcase down. He opened it and began setting out things that he would need. But first, he removed a syringe. The man filled the needle with a sedative and administered into a small port in the power cell that was made for the very purpose. Alice soon felt the effects of the drugs and began to zone out. Once she was under, the man cut a hole in her uniform to clean around the break. The vertebrae had shattered, a few shards of metal embedding themselves into her back.


The doctor worked fast to remove the shards before he began to repair the power cell. He was used to procedures likes this. It wasn't the first time Alice had gone and messed herself up. He refused any food or drinks he was offered, keeping himself concentrated on the issue at hand. If Alice awoke before the cell was fixed, it could be the end of both of them.


When all was done, the doctor dumped his bloody tools into a bag and asked the boy if there was someplace he could wash them off.


"Don't disturb her," He said, "She may be a bit disoriented when she wakes up."
 
neroh looked over his shoulder and pointed at a sink halfway asleep curled up with is pellow. once he fell asleep he had a dream about the fight but this time he died there crushed in the rubble then saw his funeral his family around him crying,wonder what the hell was going on he kept waking up in a cold sweat throughout the night everytime he woke up he noticed it was freezing but kept the blankets on the girl to keep her warm then he would lay down and hope not to have the dream again
 
Alice began to come to about halfway through the night. The doctor had pulled up a chair to wait, and to make sure the boy didn't try anything, of course. She lifted her head and looked around, a bit dazed. The doctor, half asleep himself, startled awake.


"Alice, good, you're up. I think we should head home."


Alice nodded. She carefully sat up, then let the man pick her up. She was still wobbly. Alice looked down at the boy, smiling a little. He'd helped her, even after she'd almost killed them both.


"Thanks," She said. She wasn't given time to say much else. Her adoptive guardian was tired and a bit cranky. She hoped that she may see the boy again later; it wasn't often that she met kind people. Although she may not live in a padded cell anymore, Alice still lived a fairly sheltered live. The doctor didn't want the wrong people to get their hands on her again.
 
when morning came neroh looked over his shoulder and noticed that the girl was gone he got up washed himself off and got dressed into his school uniform. his tiny pink pony he had named "crap" appeared and absorbed nerog in a bubble that when popped he appeared in a ally way
 
There was a moment where movement was a blur; a girl came into existence above superman and tazed him, although the voltage had more effect on their friend. After yelling in pain, he threw superman over his shoulder, the reverberating quake made Talon bounce and she felt her weight shift again.


Before she could get any words or questions out, he took off, darting straight towards the wall behind Scarlett. The explosive exit through the wall made her twitch, and she was about to run after him until unknown arms in cased her.


The scientists were the offenders, trapping both her and Scarlett in their grips


“Superboy!” she heard her friend call.


Turning towards the brunette as she struggled, she began struggling to; hoping to help her friend get out of the hold. With one of her stronger pulls, she dragged half of the scientists with her and looked down at her feet in panic.


"Let go!"


Numbers had come to life in her head and she tried to blink them away; only to have them randomly shuffle. The scientists behind her were chattering about something but her focus was on the numbers in her head.


“Aghhhhhh!” She yelled in annoyance, struggling once more


She opened her eyes again and the numbers remained, but were a constant for each individual object. It was like a price tag that she was able to memorize; she looked back at the scientists, the numbers immediately popping into her brain. Two-seventy-six, three hundred, one-eighty-nine…


“What the hell!?” she cursed


With her confusion the number fluctuated, taking a nose dive until their numbers were in the decimals. Their feet slowly lifted from the ground and in a panic they released her as she realized what the numbers were.


When turning towards the men holding Scarlett, the numbers were replaced by theirs and her focus easily made them hit the same point as well. Unlike the others, they latched onto her friend like a buoy and Talon sighed


“C’mon, it should be easy to move with them now” she noted,


Then she took off towards ‘Super boy’.
 
As Scarlett struggled she suddenly felt the weight of the scientists lifting and looked at the to see that they were beginning to float up off of the ground. The soldiers nearby as well and once they realized it, and saw that Scarlett was still anchored to the ground, they quickly got to her and held on, weighting themselves to the ground. With the small group of people, that were apparently lighter than air, holding onto her, it felt like she was about to start floating off of the ground also. Before she could though, she started flailing her limbs and twisting around. Talon was sort of right. They were light so she could drag them along behind her, but they were starting to pull her up also and even so they still would have wind resistance and slow her down.


With that in mind, she had decided to try to free herself. She managed to shake two of them off and they floated up and away from her, grabbing at anything that came into reach to try to stop themselves from going any higher. Her small, red wings started flapping as she started to walk forward slowly. Disoriented by the feathers slapping her in the face and the strong gusts of wind that they were creating, one of the female scientists that had been helping Scarlett lost her grip on the girl and bumped into the last of Scarlett's captors and she was finally free.


Immediately, she was running after Talon and Superboy, feeling a wave of relief wash over her once she was through the hole in the wall, as if there would be no more obstacles in her way now. She was fairly sure there would be, but for now she was free. A ways away she could see a limo, and someone standing next to it. Getting a little closer, and squinting a little, she could just make out who it was. Superboy. It was sure a lot easier to find him than she'd thought. Lucky.


Her hand rose out in front of her and she pointed a finger towards Superboy to show Talon where he was, even though it was probably where she was looking anyway "Superboy!" she called out to him. It looked like he might be getting into the limo and she wanted to catch him before he did and at least figure out what was going on. She kept calling him Superboy and for all she knew he wouldn't even respond to it, but it was the only name she had for him and even if he didn't respond to Superboy, hopefully her yelling would at least grab his attention.
 
A faint yelling could be heard from the limo, but to Alex, he could make every word out clearly. Looking over his shoulder, his eyes glowed a faint green.


"Let me take care of this boss." Alex said in a monotone robotic voice.


"Do not waste any time. Get it over with, we have business to take of." Lex replied as he stepped back into his limo and waited for Alex.


With a twist of his foot, Alex took of like a rocket towards Scarlett. Slamming his fist into the ground, he sent up a large smoke cloud. Within the smoke cloud, Alex grabbed scarlett by the collar and lifted her above the ground. Glaring at her, his eyes started to light up with a slight hint of red.


"What do you want with me!" Alex yelled out at her.
 
The reaction she got from Superboy was not one that she had expected. As the cloud rose, Scarlett stopped running. She could hear something coming towards her and even though she didn't know why he would be charging her, the only person she figured it could be was the super boy. The smoke reduced her visibility, but before she knew it, Superboy had her by the collar and lifted her up so that her feet couldn't even reach the ground anymore. His eyes turned an intimidating red and she held onto his wrist as she dangled in his grasp,trying to hold herself up whether there was a point to it or not.


"What do you want with me!"


She stared straight into his eyes and for the life of her she couldn't think of an answer. "What are you doing?" she uttered instead of an answer to his question. He'd protected her from Superman just moments ago and now it looked like he was going to laser her face, or maybe it was heat vision like Superman? She was calling him Superboy after all. Why was he going to attack her? Why was he running away? Any answer to 'what are you doing?' would shed some light on the situation if he didn't dodge the question or make up some phoney answer.


She didn't fight back, she'd seen what he could do and there was no way she could beat him. She didn't even know how to get her powers to work yet. She wouldn't stand a chance, and she was a little afraid of him now that all of his rage seemed to be focused on her. All she could do was try to let him know that she wasn't his enemy. "It seemed like you could use someone that has your back..." She finally found an answer. It was true, she'd stepped in before because she'd been willing to help him out, and it'd seemed like he'd needed it. Superman had been bullying him and Scarlett had taken it upon herself to come to his aid and look out for him when it looked like nobody else was going to.
 
When Doctor Grey got Alice back home, he put her to bed to rest. He then to went get some well deserved sleep himself. Their home was very villain-esque. It was the underground remains on the elder mad scientist's lab. It was a bit strange that Alice would be okay with living there, since she was imprisoned within the place for three long years. But Grey had fixed it up with a very homey feeling. The cold metal tables and medical equipment were gone, the test tube stored away, and all the touches of a mad science lab hidden. He'd painted the wall an elegant shade of blue and furnished the space. Alice's room was, odder still, the very room where the rubber cell had been. Grey had torn out the interior and turned it into a teenage girl's paradise. The walls were purple with white polka dot decals, a radio took up most of her nightstand, along with a lamp sporting a zebra shade, posters filled the walls, and the carpet was white shag. Of course, Alice had been 16 when she moved in. Now she felt the room was a bit childish. She'd been considering remodeling a bit, but more than likely wouldn't get around to it any time soon.


For the moment, Alice was sprawled on her bed, drooling on her pillow.
 
Hearing her answer to his question made him quiver a little. His eyes turned back to his normal dark blue color. Taking one hand off of Scarlett's collar, he brought it up to his face. Wiping his face of tear that was filling his eyes.


"If you really want to go so far as to help a stranger, then come and find me, and hurry." Alex said as he soon clenched his fist.


Striking Scarlett in the stomach, he threw a lot of force into his punch. Not enough to kill her, but enough to make it look like he killed her to an outside party. Laying her upon the ground, Alex shed a tear that landed on her cheek. As he lay her upon the ground, Alex took off back towards the limo. Appearing next to the back door, the door swung open and Alex stepped inside.


"Its all done sir. We can go now." Alex said to lex luthor.
 
His eyes changed back to normal and he set Scarlett back on the ground. The slightest hint of a smile tugged at her lips at the fact that she had calmed Superboy down and that he seemed to trust her. Whatever was going on with him, he clearly needed some help and Scarlett was willing to give it. Her smile quickly faded as she watched him wipe a tear from his eyes but she didn't know what was upsetting him or what to say to him. Then he spoke and his words confused her. All she could guess was that he was in some sort of trouble and that would explain a lot, but she had already found him, hadn't she?


Scarlett didn't even see the punch coming, she had been too busy trying to figure out what Superboy had meant to be paying attention to his fists. She also hadn't thought he would throw a punch at her though so watching for any sort of attack had been low on her priority list. She wasn't out immediately, clinging to consciousness at first and for a second she tried to figure out what was going on, doubled over around his fist. Before she could figure anything out though, her consciousness slipped away from her and she would have toppled to the ground had he not caught her and set her down gently.
 
Talon allowed Scarlett to pass her; she had only joined the battle to help her friend, so it would be best if she talked to the super they were following.


“Superboy!” the brunette called again,


On the other hand, she slowed down and immediately regretted their distance; able to see Superboy dart off from the limo towards her comrade.


“Scarlett!” she yelled as a dust cloud accumulated from his punch to the ground,


rapid footsteps followed the explosion and she inched forward.


“What do you want with me!” she heard Superboy,


In a panic she dived into the cloud, barely able to see, and staggered through, trying to follow their voices. Finally, she spotted them through the dust; Superboy was wiping a tear from his eye and her friend was smiling. Her guard was let down for a second, but that’s all it took; Superboy had sent a death blow towards Scarlett's stomach and she collapsed in his arm.


Talon was rooted to the spot as the dust cleared, and she wearily eyed Superboy as he set her friend down on the ground. He then took off towards the limo, as she ran towards her, and crouched at her side.


Brushing a stray tear from her cheek, she eyed her friend until the limo door closing snapped her out of her reverie.


Struggling to her feet, she stared down the limo; it’s weight easily appearing at the front of her mind


“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” she murmured.


Her hand shot out unconsciously, and the weight started rising in hundreds, as her concentration narrowed. Other numbers popped into her head as she kept going; their presence not making much sense until the sun started diving in a strange arc. Reigning in on the controls, she realized she had tilted the earth and lost her control, the numbers snapping back into place like an elastic band.


Falling back to her knees again, Talon’s breath came out in short puffs as she realized the stress, forcing her power like that, put on her body. The limo remained, no number in site, and her friend was either dead or on the brink of.


[OOC: Talon just shifted the axis of the earth…let the anarchy of Mother Nature begin =3]
 
After a few minutes, The Joker looked at Gear and grinned, "Catch, kid." He chucked his cane at her, making her jump.As she caught it, the bottom slid out, revealing a sword inside. "I'm going to need you to do a little, damage around here." He licked his lips, " See, this place is riddled with goody two shoes and that rat of a bat is here somewhere." Joker slid off the table and moved towards Gear, whispering in her ear while pressing a small thing into her hand, "You bring what I want, I do what you can't." He patted her shoulder, planting a tracing device along with a microphone onto the collar of her outfit and walked out.


Gear stood there, a bit stunned for a moment, looking down at the photo of a boy before she felt very very angry. The photo was engulfed in flames within seconds and the ashes dropped to the ground. Gripping the cane sword tighter, she stood there debating. Wait for The Green Lantern to speak to her, or do what her mentor asked.


With the thought that a hero had already attacked her, she glared and did as the Joker had asked. Find the boy, cause a little chaos, and bring the kid back to him. Or so the photo had written all over it. Walking out the doors, she stood in the air and breathed deeply. Nodding her head to a guard, she acted like she was leaving before following behind him silently.


Sliding into another building, she flicked through the details in her head again, if she could get through here, she'd be good. Moving her way down the thankfully empty hallway, she found a break off, and set fire to it, a very nice, large distraction. And suddenly, a loud crack of thunder went off and the lights went out. Lightning had apparently struck the building, making the power source overload.


Taking this as a sign she choose the right thing, she moved quickly down the halls, avoiding being seen, and coming close three times. Soon, she found herself in the hallway the kid was meant to be in. Looking for the right door, she flicked her finger up to create a small flame. Finding the sole observation room in this part of the hallway, she grinned, heated the doorknob till it melted and opened the door. Inside the room, no one was present most having already left due to the fire and the electricity shortage that clearly wasn't fixing itself.


Suddenly, a bullet whizzed past her head, and she froze. A gruff voice told her not to move or she would be shot and killed. A few seconds later, all that was left was charred bones and ashes and the echo of another gun shot.


Another crack of thunder and the lights ahead broke. Gear shook her head and brushed off the glass that got onto her, "Alright kid, where are you." She looked through the observation room's window and saw a dark room. Shaking her head, she went back to the hall, and saw a door directly across that was a sliding door. She looked at it a bit closer before shrugging and putting a hand against it, pushing fire into her hand in an attempt to heat and melt a hole through the door like she did the door knob. Slowly, the metal turned red.
