Louise turned to face the woman behind her. She said, "He deserved to die. Who knows how many defenceless women he got away with attacking? This city is a mess, when the likes of him are allowed to roam free. Since I've got these weird powers, I might as well use them."

 

She paused, then said, "My name's Louise. I like to call myself a vigilante. What's your name?"

"Seems like a good reason to fight."

*Titan said.*

"People call me Titan. I guess I could be called a vigilante as well. I have not done much so far, but I have only just begun."

*Titan held out her hand to shake Louise's, but before she could, another thug stepped into the area. He looked at the two girls and then at the man's corpse.*

 

"Mort!......"

*He pulled out a knife.*

"You skanks."

*He snarled. Titan looke unimpressed. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a nail.*

 

"Feeling lucky?"

*She said as she tossed the nail. It impaled itself into the thug's forehead and he fell over dead.*

"Guess not."

*She smiled and turned back towards Louise.*

@,

 

Louise grinned and shook Titan's hand. "Good one," she said. "We ought to work together sometime. My powers are that I can manipulate my bones any way I like. I've never met anyone before who had powers; don't know where mine came from, but since I decided to become a vigilante, they've come in very handy."

I've never met anyone before who had powers; don't know where mine came from, but since I decided to become a vigilante, they've come in very handy."

"Working together sounds nice."

*Titan said.*

"Personally, as you have seen, I can pull objects."

*She raised her hand at the dead thug. The body lurched towards them and skidded to Titan's feet.*

"And I can push them as well."

*She pointed her hand at the thug again and an invisible force launched him backwards, slamming him against the back wall of the allyway.*

"It can be very useful."

*Titan smiled.*

"And as for powers, you are probably like me. Born with a special mutation, there seem to be more and more of us all the time. We are the beggining of a new age my friend, and I intend to be on the flagship."

*Titan smiled, an ambitious look on her face.*

"But thats still a long way off. In the meantine, wanna go grab some drinks? My treat."

Louise grinned. "How can I turn down an offer like that? Yeah, let's quit this for tonight and just spend some time having fun. What you said about mutation... it sits better with me, thinking that there's other people like me out there, rather than just being the only freak in the world."

[Gyro Zeppeli 120]

"Come on, I know an awesome place, I think you'll like it."

*Titan led her a few blocks to a downward staircase next to a building.*

"This place is one of my favorite places to hang out, and as you will see, everyone here is unique in their own way."

*Titan led Louise down the stairs and up to the door there. She knocked on the door four times. A slit opened and a pair of eyes peeked out. The slit closed again and the door opened.*

"Welcome, my friend, to Taker's Tavern."

*Titan led Louise inside to see a group of about eighteen people, hanging out in the bar, and all of them displaying unique powers of their own. In one corner there were a group of people playing cards, the dealer was shuffling at a supersonic speed. At the bar the bartender held out his hand toward a bottle, the bottle teleported from the shelf and into his hand. The bartender looked at the new arrivals and smiled at Titan.*

 

"Titan! New friend? Come on in."

*The bartender said happily.*

 

"Thats Taker."

*Titan said to Louise.*

"He and I started up this place, kinda like a safe haven for our kind of people. What do you think?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Abaddon flicked his tongue in interest as he observed Titan and Louise from afar. The symbiote had alerted him to unique individuals in the area, and the scent of fresh blood from the thugs they killed had made his tracking of them easier.

 

"#It is about time we found more of these individuals," hissed the symbiote as Abaddon followed them to the club. "#It seems to be a private club though Scipio, and we both know we have trouble with these reclusive places..."

 

"Meh, been too plenty obviously, I trust we can handle ourselves with just tooth and claw tactics if they're that stupid to attack us. Sides, impaling not going in there like I am now, I'm going as 'myself'..."

As Abaddon waited for the door to shut, his body turned to amorphous slime to slip into the door. He remained undetected, and picked a shadowy corner to reform as his normal, human self, Scipio. Dressed mainly in black and red, he didn't stand out much...

Nora slurped down the rest of her extra foamy triple chocolate latte and tossed the cup in the trash. She had just gotten back from dispatching a group of disorganized and clumsy pirates, who had decided to try and take control of a cruise liner that catered to the elderly.

Some people just have no boundaries. She thought as she got up to get another drink. Before she could get back into line her phone beeped, and the screen read 'New Message'. Nora frowned, she had been getting a lot of messages from an unknown source, who dropped hints on any crimes that were going on. So far the anon had been right every time. But it frustrated Nora to no end that she didn't know the identity of the caller.

This time the message read, "Suspicious persons on the pier across from 14th street. Don't you think you should check it out?"

 

* * *

Nephthys jumped down from one of the large containers that she had been perched on, surprising two of the 'suspicious persons' who were indeed up to something shady.

"Wow that sure doesn't look like something you kids should be handling." She said brightly as she snatched the plastic baggie from one of the guys. "I could have sworn that this stuff was illegal."

"Mind your own business, b----!" One of the guys snapped and lunged at her. She sidestepped him and summoned some water from a nearby puddle to her. She twisted the water into a whip and unleashed it onto the two guys who shrieked and cried out like babies.

"Piss off!" she yelled and they did as they were told. She held the bag of white powder in front of her like it was diseased.

"Now what in the hell am I supposed to do with this?"

(I'm not going to actually use any of these characters, they are just placeholders.)

 

Louise looked around the place, and liked what she saw. "Seems like my kinda bar," she said to Titan. "Just how long as this bar been up and running? Is there any, shall we say, interference with it?"

 

Louise ordered a vodka and Coke from Taker. Once she got her drink she sat at the bar next to Titan.

 

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"# This place is so distasteful," the symbiote said in Scipio's head. Scipio shrugged nonchalantly and began to walk around with his arms cross, observing the ongoing activities, atmosphere, and behavior of the people.

 

"I suppose," Scipio responded quietly as he sat down at the bar. "Most of these mutants squander their abilities to perform menial tasks like a show magician, most are of poorer backgrounds-"

"# If not all..."

"Quite, but then again most become street goers once their families discover their true nature."

"# Or they just like hanging around these low caliber areas to feel like kings among the rest of the trash..."

 

Scipio shook his head and talked to Taker.

"Have anything worth trying or could I have just gone to a more prestigious place among the regular humans?"

Louise ordered a vodka and Coke from Taker. Once she got her drink she sat at the bar next to Titan.

 

"Taker and I started this place up about eight months ago. We decided that he would watch over the place, while I go and seek out others like us and offer them the safe haven. Eventually, word spread amongst the superhumans, and our little group got bigger and bigger. In total, we have about twenty-three people who know about the place."

*She took a sip of the beer she had gotten.*

"Twenty-four now, counting you. As for interference, well, we got in a bit of trouble once when the building owner found us down here about a month and a half in, but Taker has some cash, so he bought the building from the guy. Many of our members moved in, myself included."

Scipio shook his head and talked to Taker.

"Have anything worth trying or could I have just gone to a more prestigious place among the regular humans?"

 

"A, like your drinks a little more fancy, do you?"

*Taker asked. He held out his hand toward the shelf that held most of the drinks. A bottle of wine appeared in his hand.*

"Perhaps you would like a glass of wine? Its quite well aged."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"It might earn us a few mocking looks, but yes," Scipio said as he took a glass of wine and tasted it. It was to his surprise, indeed well aged.

"Wow, you weren't lying. I take it few have really asked for this style of drink eh? How much will it be?"

 

Scipio noticed that the guard at the door was giving him odd looks, seeing as how they had yet to even walk past each other due to Scipio slithering into the place.

"Are there any interesting news to hear here in this part of town? And I'm not just talking about your regular thugs."

[Skullbuster 1,906]

2 vans pulled up to the city bank, the back doors opened and  thugs came out and busted in, holding the place up, another walked out the back, he wore typical street clothes, a leather jacket and gloves, his face was covered in bandages, completely wrapped, he wore a fedora and sunglasses, despite it being night, he held up an RPG-7 and aimed it and fired it into the bank, the rocket hit the vault causing a loud explosion

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

"Now I know this place exists," Louise said, "Looks like I'll be spending some more time here." She sipped her drink, slowly. "That is, when I can fit it in. I'm trying to make this city a better place to live, getting rid of a few unsavoury characters here and there. It's just suddenly happened, it never was like this back when I was a kid."

[Apollo 297]

"Are there any interesting news to hear here in this part of town? And I'm not just talking about your regular thugs."

"First drinks are free."

*Taker said with a smile.*

"But only on your first visit. It encourages people to come back."

*Taker picked up and empty glass another patron had left and began to rinse it in the sink behind the counter.*

"As for news, I hear our local organized crime group is acting up. I hear they are planning a big heist, maybe today or tomorrow."

 

 

"Now I know this place exists," Louise said, "Looks like I'll be spending some more time here." She sipped her drink, slowly. "That is, when I can fit it in. I'm trying to make this city a better place to live, getting rid of a few unsavoury characters here and there. It's just suddenly happened, it never was like this back when I was a kid."

"We all have our reasons to be here."

*Titan said.*

"My purpose is to bring our kind together, and offer them a safe place to stay. Taker is our financial support. Shale,"

*Titan pointed at the bulky grey skinned man guarding the door.*

"He keeps the peace. Thats just a few examples. Some of the guys read waaay to many comic books, not that thats a bad thing, and they perceive themselves as superheroes. And then there is your type. The kind that just wants to make our world a better place. Thats my favorite, no delusions of grandeur, just a levelheaded peacekeeper."

*Titan chugged down the rest of her beer and placed the empty bottle down on the table.*

"It takes a lot of courage to stand up for what is right, and I respect that. Even if it is sometimes done in unsavory ways."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"The job can actually be quite savory, for us at least," Scipio said with a smirk in response to Titan's comments. He turned back to Taker and nodded as a thanks.

"Perhaps I'll stop by again sometime, the more fancy drinks do seem to smell of nice quality afterall. As for your guard..."

Scipio picked up a small object and tossed it at the guard.

"You could suggest to him to keep a more watchful eye, other sneaks like us may not just want to have a drink. Oh an-"

 

A faint explosion was heard in the distance, and is rumble was felt as well.

"I think that heist was today..."

[aRegularPony 306]

Enola smiled as he heard the explosion, then ran towards the source of it, prepared to take out who was stealing from it. The city had seen better days, so he found it his duty to clean up. In his hand he held a simple can, which, at first would seem harmless, but, after inspection, could be recognized as Zyklon B, or Hydrogen Cyanide Gas. He planned on killing them all, and this simple can could do it for him.

[DarligPegasi 315]

Nephthys was heading home after dropping the drugs off at the police station, when a sudden vibration nearly knocked her off of her feet. She looked up into the sky to see a thick cloud of smoke in the direction of the bank. She dashed towards the source, in her haste she didn't bother to call a cab or something.

 

"I really need to get a bike or something!" she grumbled to herself.

 

When she reached the devastation, people were running this way and that screaming. She could see a few people squirming on the ground near the bank, they'd probably been caught in the explosion. She spotted a temp medic tent a few feet away and raced to aid the fallen pedestrians. She reached an old lady who had her hand pressed against her chest and her mouth was opening and closing, releasing small gasps of pain.

 

"Hold on, ma'am." Nephthys muttered, using her cloak to shield the woman from the smoke still billowing out from the destroyed bank. She picked her up gently, and steadily but quickly began walking to the medic tent, not wanting to jostle her too badly.

After depositing the woman at the tent, she went back to try and find any more injured people.

 

Normally she would go straight to the action and try and find the culprit of the explosion, but there were so many people and no one seemed to be focusing on them. Besides there were other people...Possibly like her in this city. They could deal with it.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

thugs walked out of the bank holding sacks of money and loaded them into the vans, the main figure, the one with the bandages completely wrapped around him, tossed the RPG back into one of the vans, he took the time to laugh maniacally, he took out a 45 caliber pistol and twirled it as the thugs loaded up the money 

[aRegularPony 306]

Watching the thugs taking the money, Enola threw his can of gas, watching it hit the van and bursting open. Hopefully, all would go to plan, and they would inhale enough to kill them. If not, he had more prepared anyway, as well as some other weapons which weren't quite as powerful.

the wrapped figure saw a can of something rolling towords one of the vans, he kicked it away, back twowrds where it came from, he raised his gun up "so, some one has the guts to try and stop me eh?" he laughed "thats hilarious!" he yelled out "now come on out so i can shoot you!"

This was odd. Jordan had been drawn to the bank with news of the robbery, and he was observing the scene from a nearby rooftop. He was just about to attack when some sort of smoke bomb was set off. No, not smoke, some sort of gas. Has someone beaten him to it? 

 

Either way, Jordan could care less. This gave him an added advantage. As the thugs were busy trying to find whoever tossed the can of gas at them, Jordan took aim with his assault rifle.

 

With one shot, he managed to kill one of the thugs.

the figure in the bandages was caught off guard by the rifle fire "oh so theres more of you hiding in the shadows hmm? face me you cowards!" he put away his highly decorative M-1911 and pulled out of his jacket a much larger Automag V  and began firing the large .50 AE rounds at the roof top where the assault rifle fire came from

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Back in the bar, Louise answered Titan. "I don't see the point of always sticking to the rules when fighting the bad guys," she said. "After all, the criminals don't follow the rules so why should we let ourselves be trapped into doing so? It may seem to some of the lawful crime fighters that our tactics are unsavoury, but they get the job done."

[DarligPegasi 315]

Nephthys was carrying a portly man to the medic tent when a shot rang out. She turned to see one of the bank robbers, possibly the leader shooting at a rooftop. Some of the bullets began ricocheting off of the brick wall and metal linings.

"Sh--!" She cried out as one grazed her shoulder. She deposited the man at the tent, and managed to get a few feet away from the van without getting shot or grazed again.

She unscrewed one of the water bottles that she always kept on her belt, and manipulated the liquid until they resembled multiple shards of glass. She then sent them flying towards the truck.

*Titan shrugged.*

"Maybe so, but still, I..."

*That's when the bang happened. Titan looked over at Taker.*

 

"Go! I'll watch over the place."

*Taker said. Titan nodded. She looked over at Shale.*

 

"Shale, you're with me. Anyone else want to come, its fair game."

*Titan and Shale opened and ran out the door, heading towards the sound of the explosion. Once they reached the scene, they saw a man in bandages shooting at someone on a rooftop.*

"Shale, toss."

*Titan said simply, Shale nodded and held out his hands, Titan jumped up on them and faced the bandaged man.*

"Now!"

*Shale launched Titan in the direction of the bandaged man. Upon getting near the man, Titan smiled and clocked him in the face, adding a healthy dose of push to the impact. The push sent the man a few meters back and Titan rolled with her landing and stood back up quickly, ready to fight.*
