Prototypes: Super Hero RP (Finished)

[Dorian]

Before Samuel could respond, Iceous glanced at Reese. "We think the powers you get have something to do with your personality, upbringing, or life. Not quite sure which or if we're right, but it's what we think is most likely. Sarah has control of fire, Sparrow USED to be able to shapeshift, I control water, ice, and the flow of thermal energy, and Samuel here's your local god."

"Aesis didn't get killed by Doc. He was just someone they killed to get to us. He got killed by the American research team in order to capture the original Prototypes." Samuel said.

"The powers are created by the psyche. The 40-B hormones adapt to what is best suited to the subject. Although this is theory, it's a pretty accurate one."

 

[Dorian]

Iceous nodded. He turned back around and lazily gripped the steering wheel, his shoulders sagging.

Looks like my prime's already come and gone without me realizing it......

Rosa sat patiently and listened to what they had to say. She was just a creation? Her memories didn't mean anything, they were just fiction, created by the mind? The more questions that were answered, the more that arose. She nodded along, pretending that she understood. The...unstable ones as Samuel had put it, had intrigued Alice, Rosa was too busy thinking about her memories. For once, Alice came out to get answers, not to cause trouble.

"Just so you know, it's Alice. Rosa is being strange. These uh, others, the ones who are the bad guys...what do they have against us, surely we should be helping each other if we're different from normal people? What is Doc's problem, aren't we the same? Did something happen to him? This girl you're talking about, she's interesting me. What's her name?"

Alice sat more casually, sliding down the chair. She crossed her leg over the other, doing it slowly to create the illusion of relaxation. She awaited her answer, whilst leaning on the plush seat.

 

[Sparrow]

Sparrow handed the strange girl a note, then shifted in his seat. There was really no space at all.

Doc was there from the start. He had some idea that he was helping us, making sure the world didn't get in our way or judge us, through fear.

Now he just wants revenge. Samuel and I messed him up pretty good, and he blames the rest of us for his problems.

He then handed her another note.

I think.

Sarah had stayed quiet while the others spoke amongst themselves. They each explained to the newcomers what had happened and what was going on. She waited until they had all quited down to speak.

"So where do we go now? Back to the hotel?"

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Alice examined the notes, and nodded along. Rosa was still mulling over the lies her head had been telling her. Doc seemed to be an interesting guy, a nut-job, but interesting. It was then, that Alice was truly interested. If Doc was this insane, he was obviously using the girl as a weapon of his destruction, she was probably under the impression that she meant something to him, but most likely, he didn't care less. She was a tool, to fix what he thought was broken. Alice tapped into Sparrow's mind.

You forgot we could talk like this, didn't you? You can always speak to me, even if you don't have a voice. Okay, you've explained Doc, but what about this girl. She seems to be...delusional, if she's teaming up with someone crazy like him. She's interesting me greatly, I would like to know some more about her. What did you two do to Doc? Scar him or something?

Alice chuckled to herself.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to tell you that you should act like you're just tired, I think that Sarah girl doesn't like it when we talk. She thinks it's Rosa, but she's wrong.

 

[SamuelT]

"No. The hotel isn't safe anymore. We'll just pick up Lydia, and get out of this dreaded town. I prefer going to Chicago, I've got a home there as you know, but I don't mind anywhere else. Just let it be heavily populated. We'll stand out too much in small towns."

He looked at the girl, who he thought was named Alice. He saw that her pattern had changed again, and that Sparrow's had changed in a similair way.
"What are you doing?" He asked her.

 

[Sparrow]

Sparrow shifted in his seat. He didn't like it when people were in his head. He learnt that much from Patrick. It caused bad things to happen.

Razi isn't a tool. She's just misguided.

 

[Dorian]

Iceous sighed loudly, obviously displeased that Chicago had been mentioned. It was where his cousin had died at the beginning of his idiotic adventures with this lot. It was where his last flesh and blood had seen him. It was where he didn't want to go. On top of all that, the winds there were cold. He didn't want to be anywhere that cold for a while.

"Could we not at least debate this? LA seems better to me. I've gotta check up on my little rascals, at least, or trouble'll find 'em somehow. They always had the knack for causing it somehow. I wouldn't be surprised if they found out a way to burn down that igloo out there."

 

[Sparrow]

Sparrow smirked, as he handed Iceous a note.

I happen to know of a mansion in LA that's having some building work done on it.

 

[Dorian]

Iceous yanked the note out of Sparrow's hand and read it. He rolled his eyes and rested his jaw on his palm.

"What? Do we storm the place and claim it as out base? Even I don't have enough money for that, and people pay out their bloody nose for colored ice sculptures. Unless you've recently won the lottery, I don't see how this is relevant. Unless you're implying that we've degenerated into a back of outlaws."

 

[Sparrow]

Sparrow would have written something sarcastic, but he'd noticed that he couldn't portray his sarcasm through wording.

It's having building work done on it for the new buyer, but it's winter. They won't be working in this weather. Nobody lives there. Who's going to notice?

 

[Dorian]

Iceous read the new note. Geez, where does he get all this paper? He uses a new sheet even if it's only a couple of sentences...

"I'd notice that we're staying illegally in an owned house when I have a fairly large house myself not even two miles from the city line. I could just thaw out the upstairs for you so it wouldn't give you pansies frostbite."

 

[ae86gamer]

"Or instead of staying in your sub-zero house we can stay in my apartment. Its a duplex and has 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms."

Besides, I left the locket that Sparrow gave me there.

 

[Dorian]

Iceous turned around in his seat again.

"You've been in LA the last 5 years? How haven't we seen each other? I've been there for the last two!"

He shook his head, casting his oldness away.

"Either way, I'm going to my house. It's more elegant than anything a common man could develop."

Heh. I've become a wealthy snob. Who woulda figured?

 

[Sparrow]

Sparrow handed Iceous another note.

Why not use both? It could be useful. That way, if we lose our cover we can switch location with ease.

 

[Dorian]

Iceous read the third not Sparrow read to him.

"Go where you want. I have a house. I'm staying there. PERIOD."

 

[Sparrow]

Tempted to hit Iceous, Sparrow conceeded. He obviously wasn't going to give in. Still, he'd be easy prey for Doc and Razi. His arrogance would have him killed.

I don't get that guy. Always so hostile. You'd think after being with us for over 7 years he'd finally trust us.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Rosa had calmed down now, but Alice was determined to stay out for a while, it was the most contact she'd had with people for years. The discussion about housing made Alice's ears spike. Her brain scanned everything in the sentence, and it found one word that appealed to her. Alice started looking through everybodies heads, just to see what power they had, she was bored.

"Mansion? I like the sound of that...and, surely flame girl over here can provide central heating? No bills to pay, no landlord...it should be fun!"

Everyone looked at her with furrowed brows. Alice pulled a nail-file from her bag and started sawing her nails. Everyone turned around, back to the conversation, under her breath, Alice muttered.

"I still like the mansion..."
