The Omega Generation (Looking for 1-2 Players. Read first post and PM your CS to the admins)

[2ndblackjedi]

As the crowd began to disappear Marcus relaxed a little. Most of them looked remorseful about their actions, but a few people were giving him, Enapay, the girl and Roar an angry look. Marcus knew what they were thinking; they felt as though they had been betrayed. Marcus was about to pull his hood over his face, but decided against it, knowing that the crowd had a good enough glimpse of him and a few people probably knew exactly who he was.

"This won't help your popularity." said one of the voices in his head.

"You won't get invited to any parties." said another.

"There are parties?"

"Oh, you've never been to one?"

Marcus ignored the discussion and turned to ask the girl what her name was. If they were all going to be shunned by the Omega community, he might as well find out who he was being shunned with. He opened his mouth to ask when he interrupted by an explosion.

"Damn!" he said as he shielded his face with his arm.

"What the hell was that?!" he heard the girl ask as the explosion cleared and left a gaping hole in a building close to them.

"I think someone had a point to make." Marcus answered. He came to a chilling realization. "There might be people in there..." He said. Part of Marcus wanted to run in to see if that was true, but he was lucky enough to avoid any trouble with the mob and didn't want to push his luck. He looked at the rest of his group to see what they would do.

 

[Scarim Coral]

With the speech over he took another look at the crowd. Most of them look like they are ashamed for their actions while a few were staring at them.

Those people better know what good for them since I really don't want to bluff at using my roar again. I have no idea when my voice will recover but I guessing it would be a while .

Despite those angry look, the crowd are mostly dispersing.

Great, I really doubt any people would let me sleep in their hotel or inn even if I over pay them for a night after what I did just now. I guess I would have to sleep on the street but would they mug me while I'm asleep or would they dare to wake up a roaring monster? I wonder if these Omegas would let me sleep over at their place.

Suddenly he heard an explosion and he turn around and saw it came from a building. He heard the gild shock reaction and the other boy comments.

He whispers a little bit louder "Do you think we should check it out? We're pretty much a rag tag group."

It was foolish for Roar to say that since he cannot use his roar for the time being but he was betting that his voice will recover soon when they get nearer to the building.

 

[John Coleman]

As the thoroughly contained crowd disbanded, Enapay, eyes closed, raised his hand to wipe nervous drops of sweat from his brow. He was fearful that the mob would be back to riotng just as quickly as Roar had shut them up. "Glad that worked," Enapay muttered to himself and anyone who happened to be listening, allowing a small grin to form on his lips. "Thanks for your help everybody," he continued genuinely.

The riot squad, many troops suprised that it was over, began to pack up and leave, as well.

Surveying the area, Enapay finally took the time to notice that they were in Times Square. Enapay's grin faded in exchange for a look of bewilderment as he looked for the signs of his escape from the government facility. He was certain that it was just below the square. However, he saw no sign of the obliterated mech and what looked like freshly dried, white-ish cement over where the hole would be. "Of course," Enapay sighed. Despite the secrecy, he was determined to discover the truth.

With that, Enapay hopped off of the car. He was then greeted by the girl in her mid-teens who threw snowballs at him. "Thanks for ruining all the fun, asshole," she complained, looking agitated and dissapointed, much like teenager whose parents just denied them a party. Enapay tersely, but gently, brushed the girl aside with his left hand. "You can just back off little lady. I wasn't 'ruining'anything. You know your momma raised you better than that."

"Whatever," the girl said, looking as if she genuinely contemplated Enapay's last statement for a brief moment. Enapay was already walking in the direction of the fresh cement to inspect further. "I was talkin' to you! You better listen!" As he strode Enapay jokingly asked, "What're you gonna do? Hit me with a snowball?" A second after those words were uttered, a large snowball smacked the boy in the back of the head, sending a chill running down his spine.

"Ugh!" Enapay exclaimed, turning to glare at his heckler. "Look! It is freaking June! I--"

A massive explosion from within a nearby building cut the boy off, causing him to look away so he wouldn't be blinded. "God dammit!" Enapay sighed. "I literally didn't get two minutes." Just like that, the girl was sprinting in the opposite direction. "Yeah. Real tough," Enapay thought as he sprinted at an average human pace towards the smoking hole.

"There might be people in there..." he heard the teen in the black hoodie mutter, something reluctant in his tone. "Yeah! Could be. So you might wanna, you knowww, help them maybe?" Enapay said smartly as he passed passed the group, growing ever closer to the smoldering wreck.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Erica nodded absentmindely. As much as she wanted to go and check on the orphanege (she had planned to go there before her attention was diverted to this), she just couldn't leave without seeing if anyone needed help.

Stupid compassionate side...

"Alright," she sighed at last, "I'm going to see what happened. Anyone who wants to come with me can do so."

And with that, she released her wings and took off towards the smoke plume without a second thought or a glance back.

 

[2ndblackjedi]

"Yeah! Could be. So you might wanna, you knowww, help them maybe?" Enapay said as he passed, surprising Marcus who hadn't realized he was talking out loud. As Enapay and the girl moved towards the smoke, Marcus hesitated for a split second as he argued with a voice in his head.

"You know what you should do." it said.

"Yeah..." he answered.

"So why aren't you doing it?" it replied.

Marcus pushed his hesitation aside and followed the other two. "I've got a bad feeling about this..." he muttered.

 

[Scarim Coral]

"Wait!!" he whisper but his quiet voice did not reach out to her as she flew off.

Wow that is a cool power.

He then listen to the others talking and seen to agree to follow her. Not wanting to be left out he decided to follow her toward the smoking building.

We could at least plan this out better. I don't even know what their names are...

 

[John Coleman]

Enapay allowed his pace to slow as he neared the smoldering opening that took up the first floors of the structure, the girl hovering overhead. "Sweet,"Enapay said. He wasn't sure if she had powers at first, but his mind was put to rest at the sight of her wings, which seemed to be composed of pure energy. Now, he found himself wondering about the black teen's powers or lack there of. "That can wait."

"We need to put this fire out," Enapay said to the others, raising a hand to shield his face from the heat of the flames. "Anyone in there?!" he yelled into the blackened smoke.

 

[2ndblackjedi]

Marcus could hear cries for help coming from the building after Enapay's call.

"Sounds like there's someone on the second floor. There could be more people higher up though, I'm going to see what I can do from the inside." Marcus said. His hesitance had disappeared completely in the face of a direct threat. There wasn't any question of if there was or wasn't any danger here. He gave the door to the building a hard shove and it fell off of its broken hinges. As he stepped into the building he saw a staircase and began to head towards it, hoping that his new friends were following.

 

[John Coleman]

Enapay followed the teen into the flames.

"Right behind you..ah...um...I know this isn't the time," Enapay said as they ascended the stairs, "but what's your name?" Enapay almost fell as a section of the stairs, where Marcus had just stepped, collapsed. Only flames were visble through the hole. More cries of distress were heard, causing Enapay to look around. "Crap. There's more than one. We gotta move. Double time."

 

[Scarim Coral]

Roar was right behind them having a hard time to keep up with them. He was able to jump over the gap on the stair after Enapay almost fell into it. He can barely see what ahead of him as there were too many smokes. He had been covering his eyes with his left arm and he starting to feel that his metal mask is getting warmer.

This is insane! We are going to be roasted Omegas if we don't escape soon!

He had remain silent ever since they had enter the building fearing that inhaling any of the smoke will provoke his sore throat into accidently using his power, damaging his vocal cords.

I hope they know that I'm still behind them.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Erica flew up to a shattered window on the third floor, wincing as a burst of flame shot out. She cold hear cries for help, but was unable to enter.

No good... there has to be another way in!

Finally, she came across an unbroken window, seeing a figure huddled in the corner. "Hold on! I'll get you out!" She shouted, but the figure - a woman in a business suit - screamed and retreated further.

Great... the last thing I need is for anyone to be afraid of me...! She thought, but activated the other half of her powers anyway.

A sheathe of crystal formed around her hand, forming into a blade that she used to shattered the glass, making sure no shards remained. When that was finished, she retracted her wings, took a deap breath and plunged into the inferno.

Erica had experienced heat in various forms before, but nothing like this. The heat was starting to get to her, and she knew she had to get out fast. After what felt like a lifetime, Erica found the woman huddled in a corner, looking scared out of her wits. And Erica's soot-covered viasge probably wasn't helping either.

"It's okay," she said as soothingly as she could, "I'm here to help." The woman looked unsure, so Erica just grabbed her, saying, "Just come on!"

Erica lead her to the window, but falling rubble blocked their path. "Great..." The two of them were forced to head into another room, where the windows had been shattered due to the flames.

Looks like I don't have a choice...! Turning to the woman, Erica told her, "Just stay behind me, and whatever you do don't let go. Understand?"

The woman nodded nervously, and Erica turned back to the window. Okay... here goes everything! Taking another deep breath, she leapt out the window, the woman screaming even as she unleashed her wings, trying to slow down their speed.

Erica and her passenger landed hard on the pavement, just as a fire truck and ambulance arrived on the scene. While the fire fighters handled the blaze, Erica and the woman were shepherded over to the ambulance for oxygen treatment and to bandage their injuries.

As she was being treated, Erica glanced back at the building. I hope those other guys are doing better than I am...

 

[2ndblackjedi]

"Name's Marcus." Marcus said after checking if Enapay and Roar had made it past the collapsed section of the stairs. Once on the second floor, Marcus could hear people yelling in a nearby room. He attempted to open the door but found it locked and the door knob burning hot. Marcus pulled his hand away and noticed that some of his skin was turning into steam.

"That's not good..." he thought. "I need another way in."

"Crap. There's more than one. We gotta move. Double time." Enapay said.

"I got this room," Marcus said "You two keep going."

Without waiting for a reply, Marcus turned himself into his living liquid form. He became a moving puddle that was easily able to seep in under the door. Once he became solid again on the other side of the door, Marcus saw a young couple inside the room.

"Are you alright?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah," the man said "But we couldn't get the door open, the lock was too hot to touch."

Marcus turned back to the door and took a deep breath as he unlocked and opened the door. He barely held back a scream of pain as his hand sizzled on the knob. Once the door was open, Marcus took a quick glance at his hand and noticed even more steam coming off of it and some parts of his body as the building grew hotter.

"Maybe you should've paid more attention when they taught you condensation in school." a voice in his mind said.

"Don't you mean evaporation?" said another.

"Aren't they the same?" said one more.

"SHUT UP!!" said Marcus out loud. He didn't have the patience to deal with the voices right now. The young couple looked at him with bewilderment.

"No, not you, I mean..." Marcus trailed off; there was no time to explain. "Look, you gotta get out of here! Take the stairs, but be careful. They aren't too stable and a part of them has collapsed already. Go!"

The couple ran out the room. Marcus made sure to check if they made it over the gap and could make it to the door. Once he was sure they were safe, he went to check if there were more people trapped and how the other Omegas were handling this crisis

 

[John Coleman]

Leaving Marcus to handle the situation at the head of the stairs, Enapay continued down the hall. He quickly, but carefully, strode ahead, listening and looking for signs of life. He heard a group behind a door to his right and grabbed the handle, eyes watering as he turned. In pain, he opened the door and saw five people they hurriedly approached the doorway, exiting the room.

"Stairs are that way!" he exclaimed, pointing in the appropriate direction.

He then inspected his burnt right hand, frowning."It'll be as good as new by the time I wake up, tommorrow," he reassured himself. Enapay realized that he wasting time and hurried on, ascending the next set of stairs. After a comprehensive search, he deemed the second floor clear and moved to the third. There was a door that seemed to be lock from the inside. He hammered the knob with his fist to break it off. There was a woman inside. "Come on! The way to the first floor should be clear!" Enapay yelled, gesturing for her to hurry.

"Thank you!" she said to the boy as she passed.

A few steps later, he heard a violent, loud creak overhead. The teen then reflexively hopped back, just in time to avoid a large wooden support and other debris falling in from the floor above. The debris continued through the floor. Enapay then noticed a small flame on his right shoulder and calmly, but hurriedly, patted it out. All of a sudden, he found himself worrying about his hair as potential fire hazard. He then attempted to nimbly hop over the sizable hole that the plank left. Even though the teen landed as softly on his feet as he could have, the floor gave way, sending Enapay to crash through three floors before he collided with the floor of the basement. "Of course," Enapay thought during his descent.

"Ugh! My back," Enapay groaned, raising himself to a seated position. He heard a man's blood curdling scream, causing Enapay to whip around to survey the damage. The civilian was trapped under the wooden support. A woman was lying adjacent to him, unconcious with a small flame located on her jacket. More small debris came towards the two in the form of pieces of the floor above. However, Enapay caught it with his telekenesis and moved it over. The boy then fell to his knees from the splitting head pain that struck him. Not wanting to waste time, Enapay gasped and hurriedly crawled, on his hands and knees, over to the injured pair, checking the woman's pulse. After standing up, he gently pressed his foot to the woman's shoulder and rubbed out the flame that threatened to spread on her.

Then, Enapay hastely threw the support off of the man. "I can't walk!" the man cried, his voice shaking. Enapay clicked his tounge at this predicament. "Aw man. How do I end up in these messes?" Enapay muttered, looking at the unconcious woman. After a moment's consideration, he effortlessly threw the man over his shoulder and lifted the woman under his arm, subsequently taking off to the stairs. At the head of them, there was a burning door, which Enapay kicked off of the hinges. At this moment, he was worried more about the civilians safety than the structural integrety of the surrounding architecture.

The teen looked to the right, only to see debris collasping into the hallway, blocking his intended path. Hearing sirens to his left, Enapay dashed in that direction, rounding a corner and swiftly exiting through the opening that he, Marcus, and Roar had first entered. Thanks to the fire fighters, the flames in that area were now dissapating. Enapay gently sat the two people that he was carrying onto the sidewalk, near the ambulance. The EMTs rushed to the injured civilians and one of the technicians gazed upon Enapay's burnt hand. "That needs to be treated," she said, concern evident in her voice. "It's not that bad," Enapay said. This caused the EMT to raise an eyebrow. "And there are more people in there," Enapay continued, watching as fire fighters began to storm the entrance.

Without another word, the boy leaped into the air, crashing through the window of the forth floor.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Just as Enapay enter that door, Roar had heard a small sound of a cry screaming coming from the end of the hall. He quickly went to investigate. Since he know his metal mask was hot (the fabric underneath is heat resistant) he know that the door handle will be hotter. Seeing that half of the door was on fire, he kicks the door with all of his strength. The fire had weakened the door so it broke down as he kicks it. He enters the room and put out the fire on his kicking foot. He enters the nearest room which look like it a girl bedroom.
As he enters he saw a small girl no older then ten. She was sitting at the corner with her head press to her knee with her arms wrapping herself.

He tries calling out to her "Can you hear me?"

His voice was still in a whisper sound and the girl didn't hear him.

Dammit my voice still haven't recover and I bet my mask will scare her.

The girl looks up and saw his face. She had tears running down her face.

She said "You don't look scary at all."

Roar was shock by this since she was able to communicate at him even though he didn't spoke to her properly.

How can you hear my thought? Wait are you an Omega?

She nodded to reply

Ok, is your parent still here?

She replies "No they were outside when the place caught on fire."

Ok I will take you to your parent.

He stuck his arm out as his hand reach out to her. She grab his hand as he help her stand up. He then carry her with both his arms and he position his head upright so that his mask will not touch her.

Don't touch my mask, its red hot.

She cried "I'm scare!!"

Don't be. He said it in a calm tone.

As he turns around, the floor he was standing on give way and it collapse on him. The both of them fall in and the girl let out a cry as they fall. Roar quickly flips his body so that his back was facing the ground so that he will absorb most of the impact to protect the girl. The floor below did not stop his fall as it had also broken apart from the impact force of the fall. Roar had black out. The next thing he heard was the girl again.

She shouted "Wake up!!!"

Urgh.

He woke up and saw the girl was by his side as she looks relief. He feels he was laying on something soft and comfy. He got up and saw he was lying on a mattress. He then quickly look up and saw the fire near the holes he had made from the fall. He assumes the fire had weakened the floor since he had fallen from third floor to the ground floor and the mattress had saved his life. No longer daze he scan the area and saw the window. He then carries the girl again despite the pain he is feeling from his back.

Keep your head down.

She did so as she tugs her in. He charge toward the window and ram his elbow to break it. The window broke and he clears out any bits still on it. He carefully passes through it and gently places the girl on her feet. She then ran as she saw her parent. His face was smiling until he felt a tingle on his right shoulder. He turns around and saw that there was a small flame on it. He panic and patted it out with his hand. After that he then realise that that his upper face was still blazing hot and now fully realise he is still feeling the burn on his upper face. He again panic that it was his hot mask was the cause of it. He quickly unlocks the switch at the back of his head which the mask drops onto the ground. He then unzips the fabric part to cool down. He kept grinning his teeth shutting his month not to shout out in pain since he took out the only thing that can filter out his dangerous voice.

Man, Professor Mizu will kill me for carelessly dropping the mask like that.

A paramedic ran toward him with an oxygen tank and mask for him to break on. As he breath in and out heavily and he saw Enapay leaping onto the first floor. Roar wanted to follow him but his body won't move. His body was now felling the full toll of the pain and he couldn't stop himself as he kneels down onto the ground.

 

[2ndblackjedi]

Marcus was having trouble staying conscious. His form was still steaming which meant that his body had to constantly create more of itself to stay whole. The constant toll of having to regenerate itself particle by particle was taking a strain on him. Despite this he kept moving up the stairs to the third floor. He moved carefully to avoid the same holes that Enapay and Roar had fallen through. He came across a room where he could hear a man yelling inside, Marcus broke down the door with his shoulder. He quickly found the trapped man.

"I'm here to help." Marcus said, his voice sounded exhausted as he struggled to speak.

"You sure?" the man responded.

"Mostly." Marcus said.

Marcus looked back down the hall. It would be difficult to get the man out that way. Marcus looked at the window in the room and got an idea.

"Okay, I'm gonna lower you out the window." Marcus said as he walked over to the window and opened it.

"I don't think that's such a good idea..." the man said.

"Unless you got a better one then get over here." Marcus snapped as he opened the window. He got the attention of the EMTs down below. Then Marcus got hold of the man's hand as he climbed out the window. Once Marcus was sure he had a grip on the man and stable footing he started stretching out his arm to lower the man down. The strain on his body doubled as he focused on keeping his hand solid enough to hold on to, stretching his arm the length of three stories, and maintaining balance. The second Marcus felt the man touch the ground he let go. His arm snapped back nearly causing him to fall over as it came rushing through the window.

"That was a terrible idea." said one of his voices.

"Really should have thought that through."

"You look tired, dude."

"Take a nap."

"Heck, take two."

Marcus ignored them. If he stopped now he could end up as just a steam cloud and he really didn't want to find out what would happen then. After making sure there was no one else on the third floor, Marcus moved up to the fourth. The flames got more intense and the structural damage was even more evident. A nearby door was hanging lopsidedly off of its hinges. Marcus looked into the room for survivors. Having found none, he was about to move on when Enapay came flying through the window. Marcus' expression briefly turned into surprise.

"Guess that's faster than taking the stairs, eh?" Marcus said, with a half chuckle that turned into a pained inhale. Marcus placed his hands on his knees as he tried to stand. "I think the explosion happened on the top floor, or the one below it...the fifth maybe, I didn't get a good look at how tall this place is." Marcus started then he paused to collect his thoughts. "Either way, I don't think we'll find many survivors up here."

A crash sounded as more of the building collapsed. "And we're running out of time." Marcus added.

 

[ShadowKatt]

Ben pushed his way through the crowds doing his best to escape the area. That sonic omega had made it easy, but when his scream ended people started to move again. They were all running away again, and he was following them. It didn't really matter where he went, as long as it was anywhere but here. Before he could get more than twenty feet though, an explosion rocked the ground and threw the entire mob back to the ground.

Ben hit the ground and lost all the food in his arms again. Around him the mob paniced and became even more dangerous than when they were rioting. Now he couldn't even run with them. The food that he dropped was being trampled right in front of his eyes while people stepped on and over him. He winced in pain from ever step before he could take no more.

Pushing himself up he took a wide swing. His fist caught one person and made several more back away from him as more people pushed around them. Before they could yell at him though, he yelled first.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Ben yelled, using the same vocal ability he stole from that sonic omega. It wasn't nearly as powerful, but it startled the people enough that they parted in front of him. Ben pushed through them and headed the other direction: Towards the explosion.

I can't believe I'm actually doing this...this has got to be the stupidest idea ever... he thought to himself as he weaved through the crowd. The sonic omega, whereever he was, was getting away from him. He could feel it, the power weakening and his body returning to normal. Up ahead he was starting to see the effects of the explosion. Bomb or accident, whatever it was it had littered the area with fire. The crowds were starting to thin considerably as he stood in front of a tall building, a towering inferno. And judging by the feel, there were several omegas inside.

"Man, what's going on here?" he said as he shielded his eyes from the light and heat, "Are omegas lashing out against the humans again?" he said as he circled around the building. Looking up and searching inside him, he felt all the different omegas inside. There was...an alterationist, a morph, and a sonic. In fact, that same sonic from earlier, and there was an omega in there unlike anything he'd felt before. One that he just couldn't place. It felt like a strong one too, but at the same time uncontrolled. And if he was running with that sonic that attacked the rioting mob earlier, got knows if it was the one that caused this fire.

But that didn't seem to be the case, in fact quite the opposite seemed to be true. There was the sound of splintering wood and voices coming. Quickly ducking into an alleyway, Ben hid himself behind a dumpster and watched as they carried civilians out of the burning building. If he didn't know any better, they were saving them.

 

[John Coleman]

"Oh. Hey, Marcus," Enapay said lightly as he looked around.

"I think the explosion happened on the top floor, or the one below it...the fifth maybe, I didn't get a good look at how tall this place is." Marcus started then he paused to collect his thoughts. "Either way, I don't think we'll find many survivors up here."

Enapay raised an eyebrow as Marcus' frame continued to steam. Having not yet seen his powers, Enapay didn't know what to make of it. However, Enapay was smart enough to realize that he was in pretty bad shape. The younger of the two, despite the soot on his clothing and face, complemented by his burnt hand, was still very fresh. He wasn't even breathing hard.

"That's a bit careless, wouldn't you think? You can leave anytime you need to, but I'm not going to until I make sure that every living person makes it out of this place. Whether you help or not is entirely your decision," Enapay said matter of factly.

The teen then proceeded to dash off to the fifth floor, which was empty, and quickly checked out the sixth. The situation was not the same. Enapay quickly checked the doors but a child's sob caught his attention. He hurried to the door that it came from behind, slowly opened it with his burnt hand, and inspected the room. Shaking his burnt hand with an annoyed expression, he spotted a little boy, around six or seven, kneeling over a lifeless body. "Daddy!" he sobbed. "Noooo!" The sobbing continued.

Enapay slowly and calmly walked up to the two, surrounded by flames. "Hey," he said to the little boy. The child turned his head around, sniffling. Enapay checked the body's pulse, finding nothing. A saddened frown found his way onto the teen's face, but he quickly forced himself to take on a more normal expression, for the boy's sake. "I'm here to take care of you, okay?" Enapay said a outstreching a hand. The child backed away, "Nooo! We can't leave him."

The young Native American stepped closer, the building becoming less sound with every passing second. "I'm sorry, but there isn't any time."

With that, Enapay lifted the boy into his arms. The child struggled against him, but to no avail. "Nooo!", the child's voice cracked as he futilely reached out to his dead father. Frowning once again, Enapay grabbed the arm of the corpse. "They need a body for the funeral," the boy thought.

Enapay headed to the door that he entered through, but, suddenly, a violent burst of fire flooded it's way into the room.

 

[2ndblackjedi]

"That's a bit careless, wouldn't you think? You can leave anytime you need to, but I'm not going to until I make sure that every living person makes it out of this place. Whether you help or not is entirely your decision," Enapay said matter of factly.

"He's right you know." one of his voices said. "You've earned a rest at least."

"I'm not done yet." Marcus said. More to himself than Enapay. He wanted to take a rest but he couldn't. He knew deep down that if he left this building, there was no way he could force himself to go back in. Marcus followed Enapay up to the sixth floor. As they went down the hall Enapay checked the doors, Marcus wasn't sure if he had the energy to open the doors himself. Enapay's attention was grabbed by the sound of a child's cry. While he went to investigate, Marcus looked farther down the hall. What he saw at the end gave him a chill.

People. Dead people. Human and Omega alike, their bodies burning in the fire. Some looked like they had been trying to crawl away, others looked like they had been flung into their positions by the explosion. Marcus felt a sickness that turned into rage. Someone caused this, and that person would pay, no matter what it took. Marcus was snapped out of his thoughts by the roof over the bodies collapsing. A burial before their final cremation. The image remained burned into Marcus' memory, but the roof reminded him of the urgency of their situation.

Marcus went back to the room that Enapay had entered. He saw Enapay holding a young boy in one hand and a body in the other. Before Marcus could ask what was going on there was a burst of fire and heat behind them. Marcus' legs were already propelling him forward as he took a moments glance back. A wall of flame was in pursuit. Marcus' mind at that point only had one clear thought, one simple directive. Get out.

Marcus ran hard towards Enapay, the boy and the corpse. At this point, conscious thought was out the window, he was acting purely on instinct, which is what fueled his next actions. He started to expand his body into a larger form, big enough to wrap around Enapay and who he was holding. Once Marcus hit them, his body lost its normal shape and started to become a ball of liquid surrounding them. The momentum sent all four crashing out the nearby window.

Marcus' body was partially using its own reflexes and his thoughts to determine how solid it had to be for the landing. Within seconds that felt like hours, Marcus hit the ground. He bounced once then when he came down again, the strain of holding this shape wore him out and he splashed out onto the concrete, releasing his passengers.

EMTs rushed over to the spot. Marcus was little more than a half-conscious puddle at this point, slowly forming back into a human shape. He appeared to be pulling up himself up out of the ground from his own puddle as he reformed. Once had gotten to his waist and was forming his legs he managed to ask, with some effort "You okay?". He wasn't entirely sure who he was asking.

 

[John Coleman]

A large burst of flames billowed out of the window they had just exited not ten seconds ago.

Lying on his back, the unconcious Enapay's arms fell off of the child, who was lying on his torso. He had let go of the body as soon as Marcus had overtaken them, making certain that at least the child lived. They were all sopping wet.

Within seconds, the EMTs had taken the child and the body off. They seemed to know that Enapay was an Omega, so they didn't pay much attention to him at first. A couple of medics, a man and a woman, stayed behind to see if he was okay. Correctly figuring that the liquid was blocking something, they prepared Enapay for CPR. However, before the man could place his hands properly, the dishevelled teen's eyes snapped open and he turned to his hands and knees, coughing up whatever Marcus was made of. After a few ragged breaths, Enapay sat on the pavement, resting while his drenched bangs covered his eyes. Plenty of people outside were spectating now.

As Marcus was reforming himself, he asked, "You okay?" The teen a few feet away from him was looking off in the direction of the undoubtedly scarred child, apparently able to see through his wet hair.

Enapay frowned as a the puddle that he was sitting in began to gradually lurched away in Marcus' direction and, looking down at nothing in particular, replied,"Dude. I'm drenched in straight Marcus juice, right now. Like, every crevice, you're in it. But overall, I feel really grateful, admittedly refreshed, and a little violated. Actually, mostly violated. Cause I know that I'm covered in you. I feel so cheap. Do we have to like, go get get coffee now? Or do you need a cigarrette?" He was trying to lighten the mood, for better or worse.

The fire fighters were just now containing the fire. Enapay checked on his burnt hand. It looked pretty bad. The skin of his palm was peeling off and so was some of his forearm. He hadn't even noticed that it had gotten worse, or how badly it stung. It would probably would be even worse if not for the bath it was recently given. The teen found himself being glad that he wasn't a mere human, as he probably would be in much worse condition than he currently was.

He then bounced to his feet, gesturing for Marcus to come with him. Roar and the girl with the wings were probably down here somewhere, but he'd check on them later. "Hey! If you aren't busy, can you wrap up my hand?" he called out to one of the EMT's who wasn't occupied. She grabbed the neccessary supplies and gestured for Enapay seat himself on the sidewalk, where he limply outstreched his arm. The medic kneeled on one knee and began to operate. "That was some pretty heroic stuff you guys did back there," she said. Enapay smiled a small smile and nodded, "I know." The woman chuckled as she disinfected the burns and replied, "Not a very heroic thing to say."

"Hah. All in a days work, then. This isn't my dayjob, by the way." Enapay then looked to Marcus, concerned because the state he saw him in before.

"How are you holding up?"

 

[Scarim Coral]

Roar was laying back inside an ambulance with a medic checking on his health. The medic was holding a touch flashing onto his eyes with a puzzle look on the medic face. The medic suddenly pulls back and appears caution toward Roar.

He must have figured out who I am.

??? "Allow me to examine him."

I know that voice anywhere

Medic "Who are you?"

??? "Someone who can properly examine the guy you have got inside."

It was a woman with a lab coat who was standing outside of the ambulance and she shows the paramedic some kind of identification.

Medic "Oh right, then come on in."

She enters inside and asks the medic to step out which he did. Once the medic was out, she closes the doors. She step closer toward Roar and he was to see that it was Professor Mizu.

Mizu "Geez, you are so reckless today Lloyd."

Spoiler: Professor Mizu

Professor Mizu is the head researcher who in charge with Roar development and studying his ability (she invented the mask and the fabric underneath it that Roar is always wearing). She is also in charge of looking after Roar which in another word she is his carer/ guardian.
She is different from all the other scientists that Roar had encounter (she is more laid back and act casually). She is different in that she is only one who had who called him by his real name and treated him like a person and genuine cares for him since the other just views him as a weapon. She is the only one that Roar view as a friend and most trusted after he got his powers (he lost contact to his other friends before he had powers).

Roar was happy to see her since she had been too busy to check up on him lately. It was short live when he remember that he had run away from them and he think she is taking him back to them. He tries to get up but Mizu gently place her hand on his chest pushing him back.

Mizu "Don't worry, the government or the other scientists aren't here. I am here by my self. Relax and close your eyes."

Roar did so and seen to have doze off since he was exhausted from the event happen today. Minutes later he felt a tap on his head and he immediately woken up. He stood upright and the pains he felt earlier had subsided. He looks himself in the mirror and he look clean, all the soot and other dirt on him were clean off. He turns around and saw Professor Mizu was glaring at him, holding out the scratch mask and fabric. He quickly took it and put it on.

Roar "I sorry for dropping it but it was red hot when I got out of the burning building! Wait my voice is back to normal."

Mizu "Your ability is always interesting Lloyd. Despite using your full voice to stop the riot and inhale a bit of the smokes, your throat had recovered and is still in good condition. I'm still angry at you for not visiting me after you run away!"

Roar "It was complicated..."

Mizu "I'm not surprise that you had run away, I knew you were going to do it sooner or later. I'm not going to stop you."

Roar "Oh?"

Mizu "Despite of that I didn't know you would be so reckless being free and all. Using your full power to stop the riot and then running into a burning building!"

Roar "I've met other Omegas who persuade me to take those actions and I did save a girl life."

Mizu "Even so you could have died. How do you think I feel about that?"

Roar felt embarrasses as he didn't know what to say.

Mizu "Anyway your throat is fine. I've treated your wounds so take it easy."

Mizu open the doors to step out. Roar follows her and he breathes in the fresh air. He had saw that the building and the victims are being taken care of. He then spotted Enapay and Marcus and he was about to walk but turn around to face Professor Mizu. She had seen to know who Roar was looking at.

Mizu "Those are the Omegas you were talking about?"

Roar "Yeah although I can't see the girl with the wings."

Mizu "Interesting... Anyway I guessing you don't want me to cramp your style checking out their ability so I will visit you again later. So wait for me before your start running away alright?"

Roar "Of course."

Professor Mizu pick up a bag which was in fact Roar he was carrying earlier (he drop it before heading into the building) and she enter her car.

Mizu "I'll see to it that you will be fully prepared to leave!"

Roar then turn round and start walking toward Enapay and Marcus
