Super Hero RPG

[Doc 42]

Neeblestrix inspected the snake some more and asked "What's his immune system like?" He was formulating an idea in his head, but was taking time to think it over for now.

Adam didn't hear Kevin. The entire class had errupted into panicked conversation. lots of name calling directed at the kid with the YoYo, who had apparently messed up his trick and sent it flying across the room according to the people watching. He protested that it couldn't have been him. The girl who was hyperventilating pretended not to be involved in anyway. Other kids looked out the window, watching as people reacted below. Everyone was worried and trying to shift the blame from themselves. There was going to be hell to pay over this and the YoYo kid was right in the line of fire.

"He's naturally immune to most poisons and venoms," explained Scaletail. "Thanks to the mix of venom types in his venom glands, of course."

[Doc 42]

Neeblestrix grunted and replied "Diseases? A suprising amount of doomsday monsters have fallen victim to measles or the flu and ended up dying. Basically I'm asking, is this thing-err, snake, fool proof?"

Kevin looked across the room at the ensuing chaos, and with a loud "Aw crap!" He slammed his palm onto his face and held his head. "Jeeze, if they get worked up over this...imagine what would happen if there were mutants having a brawl outside... or another robot attack..." He mumbled. "Well Kev', time to be a kid and not a super hero..."
He turned around and put his head down at the desk...maybe he could pass as sleeping by time Ms. Higgins came back...

[dinoman666]

Scaletail nodded. "Yes. I've factored in every possibility regarding organic life. Obviously, I can't make him completely immune to everything, but he is poison-resistant, bullet-resistant, and all but impervious to fire, electricity, and dangerous gases. If he's wounded, his regeneration heals most minor wounds in seconds, and more serious ones over the course of a few hours. As far as I know, only cold is a real threat, since he's a cold-blooded creature." Seth opened his mouth in a fearsome hiss, revealing long, Rattlesnake-like fangs the size of shortswords.

JoJo sat at the edge of a windowsill, staring out to the street infront of the house. He watched the people move down the side walk and cars drive by. Everyone seemed busy, preoccupied... oblivious. It seemed like they didnt know that among them there could be super powered mutants...or rather...they wanted to deny that fact. It was funny, because just a few feet from the sidewalk lived four mutants in a house, with the scent of blood drifted off into the air...

[Doc 42]

When Ms Higgins got back to the class, the deputy principle and the janitor had just beaten her to it, throwing open the door and stepping in, staring at the window, eyes burning. The class fell as silent as the grave, the principle getting redder and redder every passing moment.

Neeblestrix nodded and then leaned back in his chair, clasping his hands lightly and saying "Well Scaletail, I am impressed... So much so that I feel your role as a hired goon is a complete waste of your other skills... You accomplished this with the equipment lying around my base? yes? How would feel about your own laboratory?" His face was deadly serious.

[C S]

Kevin's head jumped up as the door brammed open, and his eyes widened. "Vice Princaple Krubs!" He muttered. "Ah sh*t!" He heard someone say under their breath, and with good reason. Aside from a temper issue, he tended to take his job too seriously. "Good thing I have super speed... I dont want to be here if things go ballistic.."

[dinoman666]

Scaletail raised his scaly eyebrows with a smile. "Well, as a scientist, how an I say no to an offer like that?" Seth leaned back, mimicking Nebblestrix's movements as he stared at the man...

[Doc 42]

Nobody owned up to the window. Detention next Saturday for everyone in the room. Most were probably going to protest and get let off as long they could prove it wasn't them, Danny however, would go. He didn't want to talk to the teachers. He avoided any sort of contact at all costs.

He walked home after school, skipping the bus he usually took, keeping his eyes on the foot path infront of him...

Neeblestrix cracked a smile, and leaned forward, eyeing seth for a moment. He rested his elbows on the desk and said "Here's the deal. I provide you with a building, equipment, and cash to start you off. As much you'll need. You will get free reign to do pretty much whatever you want.
a few conditions to the offer. I will have authority on security issues, and will expect 30% of any profits made, be they through criminal or legal means. To balance, you will not have to pay any rent or pay back the initial cash injection. What do you say?"

[dinoman666]

Scaletail nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his scaly chin. "Well, you make an interesting offer Doctor... However, before I decide, I'd like to give Seth a little... field test. That way, I can see if any more experiments will be necessary and if I will need a lab in the first place..."

Kevin stepped out of Havenbrook, happy for his personal result. He had just caught up with Carmen and Carter, both having an afterschool club they needed to catch up with at their ussual meeting place, a pizza shop down the way. He told them about what happened before they left though. As detentions were being handed out like candy, he told VP. Krubs that he had nothing to do with the window being broken. A few other kids vouched for him, probably because he stood up for Danny. In the end, he was pardoned and soon after, the bell rang. School was over for the day, which meant SpeedFreak's city patrol had just begun. Kevin ran about the corner, dipping into an alley way, opening his bag. Soon after, the white and blue streak shot out, getting onto the black top and zipping down the road, the brown book bag on his back. He'd have to make a quick stop at home to drop it off, but after that, the super hero would be on vigil...

Ira joined Jojo at the window, having left Yoruichi after a quick, embarrassed thank you on her part and assurances that if she needed to talk, Yoruichi was there. She wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole thing just yet. There was a medium-sized sketch pad tucked under her arm, the hand of which had its thumb stuck into her pocket. She stood silently, watching the scene. After a few moments, she murmured, "Surreal, isn't it? None of them know they're walking by a house full of freaky mutants."

[C S]

JoJo's ears rose slightly, and the ink hound turned from the window. How long had he been staring out onto the street? He didnt know, and almost immediately as he realized that, he didnt care. He let out a short bark, agreeing with Ira. He eyed the sketch pad with interest. Perhaps now he would actually speak to Ira... in a way she'd understand that is...

The blur came up to the brown house, rounding around it so that he could get at the backyard. The lawn had healthy green grass, and the same could be said about the backyard. It was vacant as it always was. SpeedFreak hopped the tall wooden fence with ease, slipping over the grass with soft rustles with each quick step and then up the side of the house, his foot steps making thumps that were barely visable in the living room, where the boy's little sister was watching TV. She raised an eye brow at the noise.
SpeedFreak got to his window, forcing it open as he launched himself off the wall and into his room, landing on the small blue carpet at the side of his bed. "Crap!" He muttered as he slid across the room, hitting his computer desk with a bang, fumbling about. "Aw sh*t, that kinda hurt" Kevin said, getting his balance back. Approaching footsteps sounded off from the stairs. "Oh shi-!" He said, before rocketing around his room.

The door swung open, his little sister peeking inside. The window was closed. Carpet was back where it was, and the stuff he knocked over at the computer desk were back as they were before the boy left that morning. "...Weird" Jillian said, stepping back and closing the door. Kevin breathed heavilly, limbs spread about the ceiling to hold himself up. "This....huuuuurts..." He thought. The footsteps receaded, and soon after he let himself drop down. He landed in a crouch. His bag was stashed by his desk. With that, he walked back over to the window, opened it, and leapt out.

He landed on the ground on all four's before shooting off over the fences and down the street...

[Hopeflower]

Ira leaned against the wall and flipped open the sketchbook, folding over quite a few pages until she got to one that was blank. Most of the drawn-on pages were just sketches she'd done of faces. People she'd seen passing by, her parents...even one or two of people she'd killed. The ones who had managed to spark a grudging respect in her. The ones who had fought, however futilely, for their lives. But some of the drawings were of wild animals, wolves and big cats mostly. There was one where it was clear she'd paid extreme attention to detail, of a fox. One thing the pictures had in common was they were all signed and dated, and it was easy to tell Ira got better the more she practiced. She liked to think the pictures were decent...but then, she was only thirteen. Her drawings might not have been good at all. Now she pulled a pencil from where she'd tucked it behind her ear until she needed it and tapped the eraser against her bottom lip, looking out the window thoughtfully.

JoJo tapped Ira's shoulder with an inky tendril that stuck out from his shoulder. He looked from her and the notepad, hoping she'd get the subtle hint...

SpeedFreak soared down the road, a strong breeze being left in his wake anywhere he passed, which ussually caught the people on the street by suprise. There were a few cars ahead of him, which pulled up to a stop light. "'Scuse me, comin through!" The teen hero yelled as he leapt onto one of the cars and launched himself off onto the metal holding the traffic light up, landing on it and kicking off again to a street light. He grabbed the metal before the lamp, swinging around it before letting himself fly off back to the street. he landed with a thump. "Ive been sitting around all day, time for some exercise!" He thought. Clearly what he just did didnt count as 'exercise'. The boy darted forwards, turning into a blur in seconds, mingling with the vehicles ahead...

[Hopeflower]

At first Ira cocked her head, a bit confused. When she got it, she could have smacked her forehead out of sheer self-exasperation. She set the sketch pad on the windowsill, blank paper facing up. "Go on then," she said, interested in what might happen.

[C S]

The tendril moved over to the pad, the end of it splitting into smaller graspers, which pressed against the page. As soon as the black whips of ink touched the white blankness, they spread out. The lines were curving, taking shape and in seconds, a question had been laid out for the mutant teen: "Who are you, exactly?"

SpeedFreak shot in and out of spaces in traffic as he weaved through the chaos of rush hour traffic. Horns were going off as the blue and white blur passed infront of them. "Well they dont seem happy with me on the roads!" He said to himself, leaping off of the ground. "So I take to the walls!" He planted his feet on the side of a store and in an instant, shot down its length, kicking off of the wall and soaring across the street only to repeat the process, to the awe of those around him. The life of a hero was always a demanding one...

[Hopeflower]

"Who am I...a good question," Ira said thoughtfully. "I'm an orphan demon child, happen to be a former assassin, and now I'm being hunted for abandoning Zero's group. I decided to teach Yoruichi what I could, after I had a vision of her burning something to the ground."

[C S]

"Not your past" said the ink as the words shifted along the page. "You, as in your name, and anything tied to that name. Why you exist" JoJo cocked his head, gaze turning to Ira, eyes deep with thought...
