You are John James Green, homeless mutant.

The snow hisses against your flesh. You don’t know if you should be doing this, but you can barely resist – you feel like you’re still inside, still burning.

Your gloves are a ropy, burnt mess, rendered all but useless. Your hands aren’t much better. Their palms are still smoking very faintly, skin stripped down into smouldering tatters. It reminds of the way wax drips, running in thick, spitting lines. You’re not sure how bad this is – save that it’s somewhere past the point of ‘very bad’.

Tonight you fought something you had no business fighting, and it seems you’ve paid the price. You vaguely remember the blast – you recall the bannisters catching fire, you recall being knocked off your feet. You remember getting up and dragging the two kids to safety, lungs crawling with thick, dark smoke. You think you left them at the sidewalk.

Now you’re in an alley almost a block away, dragging your hands through the snow. They feel like lead. Like dead weight. The night is gradually falling apart, an increasing number of sirens cutting into the silence. The pain makes you want to vomit, but there’s not all that much in your stomach.

Try to become invisible. I want to see if we are getting some Astral Plane jetlag.

If you can't, BE EXTRA CAREFUL. Our Enhanced Senses will not be functional.

Possibly, focusing on the thought of cops catching you could help.

No matter what, we gotta hide till the heat cools down.

Orphan Mutant street kids don't feed themselves.
>>
>[X] Head home.

Gotta get home. Your hands – you need to get off the streets for a while.

Can’t go to a hospital. Can’t deal with bills. Do they even accept mutants? For all you know, you could go under, and wake up in a cell. Or with Laura’s handlers at your bedside. No hospitals.

You hide your hands under your coat and trudge off through the snow, into the scar. You guess there’s little point anymore – no one could spot the scales through all the burns – but you don’t want attention of any kind right now. What you want is to be home. Michigan, years ago, preferably, but the scar and your hovel and the Mutie Bunch will have to do for now.

As you pass under the long, leering shadows of the scar, you wonder if this is how everyone ends up the way they do. One-eyed Odin Joe and Toothless Bill and Scrawny Sam and the rest of the sorry lot. The old hobos, the old guard, the tramps with the gnarled faces and the missing teeth and the spittle everywhere. Is this how they become what they are? They’re young and fit one day and working to get back, back to real life, and then suddenly something happens. Something that destroys them forever, leaving only ruins.

You hope not. You really hope not.

You don’t know how long the walk is. Eventually you make it back to the crumbling apartment block and slouch your way in, cringing as you ascend the burnt-out stairs, revealing bruises you didn’t yet know you had. You make it to the door – you hear chatter die away as you pass the threshold, and the smell of boiling chicken excites your nostrils – and drag yourself in.

You’re greeted by a unified front of horrified stares. You guess you look pretty awful.

They’re silent.

You pull yourself over to the stove and sit down, your battered limbs complaining all the way. The scent of food has you hooked by the nose. The smell is… it’s not great, but you don’t care. You need to eat. You reach out to grab a fork and a gasp implodes the silence – you’re not sure who it is. You don’t care.

“John! Your hands!” That’s Noriko.

“Yeah.” You say, flatly, trying and failing to pick up one of those stupid plastic forks. Your fingers move like sausages and feel little else but the sharp, painful prickle of air dancing across undone flesh. “I think they need a doctor or something.”

Eventually you give up.

“I guess you’re not going back to that place after all, Layla.” Hah. Yes, this is all very funny. Your hands are mangled unusable fleshsticks and that’s also funny.

Laura eases herself to the floor beside you, picking up your discarded fork.

“What happened?”

Well, 3rd lvl senses gives us a shot of smelling wether he is spidey or not.

“I guess the second floor mostly exploded.”

Yeah… Sacred Tree, it seems, will be out of business for some time. Which is something it may in fact share in common with you, if your hands are as bad as they seem.

“Look…” You begin, turning the night over in your head. The psychedelic hell-ride of wrestling with that thing bleeds into everything else, soiling the crevices of your brain. Every time you think back to that grin, or those barbed impressions of Laura’s eyes, or the wet, cloying sensation of clawing your(?) way inside yourself, you feel like the memories are overstepping their bounds somehow – tearing their way out and infesting everything else, turning everything dim and painful. “I don’t want to talk about it right now. Tomorrow, maybe.”

Laura forks out a few strips of chicken for you, placing them on a paper plate. She starts tugging her gloves off.

“It… it was the ghost, right?” Inquires Layla, her voice a tentative whisper, as if speaking of it will bring it down on you. Again.

You shake your head.

“It was something worse. And it wasn’t the kids – it was just, I don’t know…” Its voice echoes through all the black spots in your brain. God. “…eating them, or something.”

“Dude, I think you need to get a hospital.” Interjects Kevin. “Like, now.”

Noriko nods.

“Those are second degree at least, John. You need to get that treated.”

>[ ] No hospitals.
>[ ] Write in.

“No hospitals.” You mutter.

Noriko is the first to protest, leaning in over the stove and frowning deeply at your baked limbs.

“John, just look at your hands, they’re”–

“No hospitals!” You nearly hiss, clenching your firsts – much to your own displeasure. You take a moment to just breathe. “Look, even if they don’t ship me off to a camp, and even if they actually treat me, we don’t have nearly enough money to pay for a visit to the ER. I know this may come as a surprise to you guys, but there are downsides to being homeless.”

You let a little bile slip into your voice at the end there. You honestly – you honestly feel like you’re talking to children, sometimes. In a way you are. They haven’t lived this life like you have. They don’t know just how fucked up and sick the flatscans can get.

An uncomfortable, vaguely belligerent silence settles in.

Laura slides the plate toward you, offering you her gloves.

“Put these on. You can eat with your hands.”

“Thanks.” You mumble, a little taken a back at yourself, and maybe a little winded by the silence.

Getting them on is hell – feels like razors against your skin (or lack of skin, you guess) – but they help you manoeuvre the steaming strips of chicken from the plate to your mouth. They’re grossly lacking in the salt department and somebody hasn’t quite gotten the hang of the spices, but your stomach doesn’t care.

“They are somewhat right.” Laura notes, quietly. “If your accelerated healing cannot handle the strain, a professional will be required to treat this. Under coercion, if necessary.”

Right. Urgh. You’re not sure you like the idea of… well, actually, you’re not sure what she’s implying there. You guess she means you might have to kidnap a doctor.

“Alright.” You sigh. “Sorry about snapping back there. I feel like shit and I have to work tomorrow, hands or no hands. And believe me – people can be some real assholes.”

Maybe its psychosomatic.

Remember when Laura suggested our powers aren't finished cooking and our invisibility stemmed from our desire to just disappear?

>[X] Discuss something other.
>[X] Finish up your food and rest.

“Right… I know your night wasn't as interesting as mine, but humour me anyway.”

You finish your food as they spin a rousing tale out of getting home, dousing Kevin’s swollen eye with snow, and sort of milling about before putting food on. Eventually you find yourself swooning in and out of proper cognisance, and decided to call it for the night, slouching over to the sofa and pulling a duvet over yourself.

You don’t sleep so much as drift. The pain in your hands is too sharp, too grating, to let you seep away into the miasma of nothingness that waits beyond dreaming.

So instead you balance between waking and sleeping, the world not shrinking way, but becoming cloudy and indistinct, like so much mist. Shadows move on the edge of perception, dancing from form to form. There are sounds but they stretch over time and space, sometimes shrinking, sometimes swelling, something bursting out into thousands of tiny, muttering pinpricks. Your sister sits beside you, or maybe Laura, or maybe nobody. In your more conscious moments you assert to yourself that this must be where the dead go when there is nowhere else – not memory, or thought, but not action or substance or flesh. You imagine that you can feel them, close but ever fading, seething desperately against the walls of the universe.

Eventually, you find yourself being shaken, the material world clamouring into focus around you. The light has changed. Kevin kneeling beside the sofa, periodically tugging at your shoulder. Your mouth feels funny.

>[X] “My mouth feels funny.”

“My mouth feels funny.” You declare, as this is important information.

Also, your mouth does feel really funny. Just talking is… weird.

“Okay…” Kevin seems to stop to consider it for a brief few seconds. “That’s nice, I guess. But it’s time to get up. Work and stuff, right?”

You groan, flailing half-blindly for purchase. Eventually to get yourself up, and feel at your jaw experimentally. Something’s off. You can stop licking the inside of your own mouth, like you quite don’t recognize it or something.

You check your hands, and are surprised to find that they’re not… that… bad. They still hurt, and the skin is covered in vicious, reddened scars, but the fact that there’s any skin at all is an immense improvement over last night. They move better, too.

“I was, uh, thinking of tagging along today.” Kevin says, interrupting himself with a quiet yawn. “I figured, hey, why not go get the same job? We’re almost squared with that Creeper guy, right, so what’s the harm?”

Huh. You hadn’t thought of that.

>>

Hmmm.... I don't see the problem if we cover him up properly so skin contact upon bumping on people is almost impossible.

Muffler and a hat is a must. If we lack these then it's a no-go.

Gloves even more so. On another note the one I brought up a bit earlier hasn't Kevin been on camera with 2 other mutants severely injuring humans within the past day or so?

>>
>[X] “You sure your powers won’t be a problem?”
>[X] “My mouth feels funny.”


Still, you have your reservations.

“You sure your powers won’t be a problem?”

He shrugs.

“Well, I wear gloves.” A tired grin stretches across his face. “I mean, unless chucking newspapers actually involves lots of people going out of their way to touch up your face, I shouldn’t be looking at any skin contact.”

This is true. Nobody wants to touch the hoboflesh (you don’t blame them. They don’t know where you’ve been, but you do). Kevin is a relatively benign and, admittedly, kind of pretty hobo, but a hobo nonetheless. Which means that, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, he might as well be covered in bubonic puss.

“My mouth feels funny…” You repeat, feeling at the back of your teeth with your tongue. Something is definitely amiss. “Anyhow, I guess you’re right.”

You heave yourself off the sofa. Noriko is still asleep, as is Layla. Laura appears to be… doing yoga? Something that involves stretching.

“Cool. Your hands look better, by the way.”

“Yeah, they”– You pause, rooting around for the source of the funky in your mouth. –“They feel better, too. I guess I heal faster than I thought.”

Another $60 every day or so certainly wouldn’t go amiss. There is one problem, however, that nearly slipped your mind.

“What about that 7/11 trouble last night? You’re sure you weren’t on camera?”

Argh what is that wrong feeling? Are you lisping slightly?

“I’m pretty sure Nori blew them out, man.” Oh, right, that makes sense. “Everything electrical in that store pretty much went up in smoke. I guess someone could recognize me, but most of those guys should be in hospital, right?”

“True.” He doesn’t really stand out, either. There’s no doubt a police report floating about right now with his description all over it, but ‘dark haired teen’ isn’t exactly going to bring the furious gaze of the law bearing down upon you.

“My mouth feels fu– ack!”

You wheel about as a set of small fingers grasp a hold of your jaw, manoeuvring you around and bringing you face to face with Laura. You guess she’s not doing her stretchy thing anymore.

She peers into your mouth, her eyes set into a vaguely annoyed expression.

“You’ve regained a pair of teeth on the left side of your mouth.”

Oh.

>>
>>28179648

>>
>[X] “Oh. Cool.”
>[X] “That’s weird. Why now?”

“Oh.” You pretty much have to force it out. Laura’s grip is surprisingly strong for such a tichy small person. “Cool.”

Still, this does beg the question…

“That’s kinda weird. Why now?”

She pauses in consideration – though, you can’t help but notice, doesn’t let go of your jaw. Kevin appears to have stepped back in a very much “you on your own bro” fashion, giving the two of you a wide berth.

“Perhaps your healing factor has accelerated to accommodate your injured state.” She smiles, very faintly. Maybe a little wryly. “I suppose we can add another question to the mystery that is John Green.”

Hah.

thats actually bad since they don't know about them, so keeping them close to her will. Also keeping them close to laura will forced her to protect them and have them used as pawns against her is a possibility.
>>
>>28179874
Trigger scent means Laura will go into kill mode and will not give a single fuck who you are, she will try to kill you.

Which is why I was sorta hoping we picked pheromone control at some point so we could negate the trigger scent.
>>
>>28179874
Weapon X's newer projects have olfactory receptors that trigger some sort of blood frenzy. Basically, they have a spray-on cologne that makes Laura kill everybody.

should have mentioned it or advocated for it even if its first level is shit and its second isn't much of an improvement.(its a better ability than claws.)

>>
>>28179976
Yea, I really ought to have mentioned to be perfectly honest, but the thing is I don't think we'll ever see us getting it high enough to perform that.

You see, I think we'd need like lvl 4 to do it.
>>
>>28179976
Laura mentioned it once, iirc, and we've discussed it in one of the earlier threads.
Honestly, Laura is so chill and helpful that the darker side of the Weapon X plot hasn't come up yet. Hopefully, we won't see it again for a while, because we can't possibly fight anything that they would send to capture Laura. That'd be like trying to fight a sentinel.

We managed to incapacitate Kimura. Or at least stun her a bit before running the fuck away.
>>
>>28180036
well the little incident from yesterday will alert them, since they would have expected her to leave the city by now.
That is until they hear a case of a mutant attack where this guy got his hand/fingers cut cleaned(which is a huge hint) off by this mutant girl who new how to fight.
I vote we move the fuck away from the area.

“You know, if you don’t let go of my face, I can’t leave.”

Her fingers detach slowly.

“Sides, I have another mystery to unravel.” You say, partly to yourself. She raises an eyebrow.

You are, of course, referring to the Mystery of Peter Parker, probable mutant and Daily Bugle intern.

“So, uh, Kevin…” You turn to face him, slipping Laura’s gloves back on. You gotta find a new pair. “I think should just wait a day or two. Cool?”

He shrugs.

“Guess so. I don’t exactly mind going back to sleep.”

…That almost makes you want to change your mind. But you don’t, and after saying goodbye, you head out. Checking your watch, you see that it’s 6:07 – plenty of time to make your way over.

You'd honestly have needed a very high level of it before it'd be effective there.

The triggers scent thing isn't a basic chemical response. Laura has been conditioned to associate that scent with extreme pain/fear, triggering a berserk state.

>[X] Go straight to the Bugle.
>[X] Stop for a quick breakfast.

The snow seems to have let up for now.

You head out toward the Bugle, stopping occasionally to appreciate how truly tired you are. It takes you a little longer than usual to get out of the scar, and you’re not far into the squawking bustle of New York before you find yourself growing weary of the crowds. You felt alright when you left, but maybe it’s mental fortitude you’re lacking right now, and the constant jabber of the city is pressing in on it.

Why couldn’t your hyperactive X-gene have spat out something really useful? Like teleportation. Right now you’d give pretty much anything short of your dick to just click your heels and be at the Bugle.

You stop briefly to grab a sandwich, eating it on your way. You barely taste it but it fills a hole.

>Hunger Level: 2
>Current Funds: $80.50

Eventually you find yourself, once again, before the doors to the Bugle. You try to pull yourself up out of the permanent slouch you seem to be adopting and walk in.

>[X] Ask after Peter.

“Hey, Vanessa!” You approach the front desk, waving a little. She glances up at you.

“Can I help you?”

“Uh, yeah.” You hate doing this. You’ve explained it already, but it just seems… weird. “Know if Parker’s around? I was supposed to meet him today.”

“Oh, no, dear.” Urk. You hope you didn’t, like, out him unintentionally or some shit. Or drive him away. That’d be ultimate irony. “He doesn’t usually come in today. You’ll have to catch up tomorrow.”

You breathe out a very covert sight of relief.

“Well, thanks.”

You wave again and head off, picking up your stack and making your way to the exit.

Though… the thought hits you, just as you make to leave, that you could still check out the Bugle’s employee information. Find out where you can track him down to. It wouldn’t be hard.

You pause briefly on your way out.

“Hey, uh, one more thing.”

Vanessa glances back up from… whatever it is desk people do when nobody’s shouting about appointments or whatever.

“Mind telling him I was around?”

She smiles lopsidedly and nods.

You say thanks and head off, mostly just glad that you didn’t scare Parker away from the Bugle. You heft up your stack, the weight pressing down on the sore flesh under your gloves, prompting a cringe or two, and head towards your spot.

You make it over there in a little under half an hour, taking your usual place near the mouth of the station, where the storm of morning commuters is already brewing. As you untie the string keeping your pile together, you glance at today’s headline and your jaw slackens.

“MUTANT HERO SAVES ORPHANAGE”

You’re not fancy enough for coffee, so you mostly just spit out air (maybe a little saliva). Holy shit.

You read on. The article doesn’t mention demons, but it does say that a ‘dangerous superhuman’ – possibly a psychic of some – attacked Sacred Tree orphanage late last night. Apparently, this nefarious villain was thwarted by a mysterious Good Samaritan, most likely a mutant.

“He distracted the monster while the children got to safety. I’m almost certain he was a mutant.” Says Sarah Haller, 22-year-old medical student volunteering at the orphanage.

“He had funny ears.” Are the words of one of the orphanage’s tenants, whose name has been redacted.

Apparently, this mysterious hero wasn't wearing a mask, but was willing to put his life on the line either way. His description has been handed over to the police and they are continuing their investigation of the incident.

God damn. You hope other papers have been as generous with their vocabulary. Still, you’ll have to go over it in detail later, after you’re done here.

Time flies.

The initial spree of commuters keeps up longer than usual, and you find yourself almost struggling to keep pace. By the time the morning rush is over with you’re down to your last few papers, and it’s not long before the steady ebb and flow of everyday travellers diminish their number to just one.

One, which, current events being what they are, you’ve decided to keep to yourself.

Tucking the final paper away under your jacket, you glance at your watch.

8:30. Record time, pretty much. You guess the villainous Paperstack was no match for a big time Mutant Hero.

Though, that said, you can’t help but wonder why the Bugle would put such a… positive spin on events. They’re constantly lashing into every cape, cowl, or masked mystery man to so much as put a foot wrong in New York. You’re pretty sure you did quite a few things wrong – someone like Iron Man would’ve done a way better job, and the paper never cuts him and slack.

He's a mutant who can get shit done under pressure, so the Brotherhood might be interested.

Gotta get that money.

You make your way back to the Bugle, a little more wary of cops than usual, but feeling something vaguely like a spark of self-worth sputtering up somewhere in your chest. Thank you, J Jonah Jameson. You are quite possibly not such a bad guy.

You get there a minute or two before nine, collect your money, and head off.

>Current Funds: $140.50

Remembering that the gloves you’re wearing are loaners – horrible disgusting loaners that you’ve filled with the vile offscourings of burnt-up mutiehand – you take a short diversion along the local high street, stopping in at one of the various thrift stores you’ve become accustomed to during your time in New York.

Yeah – you grab a pair of fluffy, thoroughly padded gloves hanging around one of the shelves – these’ll do. Not too thick, not too thin. Just about right. You might’ve gone for something with a little more weight to it, but you’re not entirely sure just how much material your… your Spider-Man hands… work through. You don’t want to suddenly find that you’re grounded at exactly the wrong time.

Now to pick out a set for Laura. And maybe something Noriko can cover that ridiculous neon hair of hers with? You don't like that just being out in the open.

You crouch down, checking some of the lower shelves. Behind you, the bell beside the door rings once, twice, thrice.

Sifting through the old tat, you find a bobble hat that looks just about dumb enough to be perfect, and a slimmer pair of gloves to replace the ones you’ve turned into charnel pits. You’re figuring out how much you want to spend when your ears perk up, catching a few select, highly unfavourable words:

“…our money, guy. If you don’t, things could get pretty tense in here. You’re catching that drift, right?”

The voice is young. And confident. You can smell adrenaline soaking through the air.

“Look, I’m not even the owner, I’m a volunteer. This a charity shop, we don’t”–

He’s cut off. You hear the quite distinct sound of a scuffle – short one, probably just some grabbing of collars. Petty intimidation, it sounds like.

“Well,” the first voice again. “Consider it an act of charity to yourself when you’re digging our money out of that register.”

You shift subtly, trying not to make yourself conspicuous.

For a moment you consider fading out, but these places have security cameras, don’t they? You have your hood and your shades, but with police on the lookout for a mutant matching your description (even if, by some miracle of the human spirit, they just want to pat you on the back), you’re not sure how many chances you want to be taking.

Pretending to be interested in whatever crap happens to be strung across the racks in the middle of store, you glance up behind your thankfully entirely reflective glasses.

There are three young figures clustered by the desk. The guy at the till is in the clutches of one of them – a tall, dark-haired guy in getup that honestly makes him look a little like he should be pushing Carrie around a few days before she goes nuclear at the prom. It’s just that specific look shared by bullies, jocks and assholes throughout modern (actually, scratch that, this might be a bit of a throwback) media. It’s actually a little unbelievable that anyone really dresses like this.

He’s accompanied by a pretty blonde girl wearing bright pink shades and more bracelets than a small Pharaoic dynasty, probably a year or two younger than you. She looks thoroughly bored.

The guy beside her… is huge. More than huge, actually. He’s colossal. You're pretty sure his arms are thicker than your waist. You can’t see him particularly clearly, as he’s covered up beneath a jumper of possibly the largest size on the market, but it’s safe to say that he’s the hugest, swolest human being you’ve ever come across.

You appear to be seeing some kind of shakedown. Someone is shaking down a thrift store.

Seriously?

"...You really want to be listening to Jules, man." Notes the girl, a sing-song quality in her voice. "He's on, like, a one second fuse. One little thing and then... tickticktick..."

She cups her hands, and then tracks them outward in mimicry of an explosion.

"...boom!"

Man, this is just sad. And incredibly inopportune, too. Your hands actually feel a great deal better than they did just this morning, but they still sting. You’re not sure you want to punch Mr. Growth Hormones over there with your fists feeling like bagels left out in the sun.

You clear your voice loudly.

The Fonz of the 21st century turns around, loosening his grip on the unlucky volunteer, and raises an eyebrow at you. He’s younger than you thought he was – seventeen, probably, maybe even sixteen. He’s just tall for his age. His gigantic companion shifts towards you too, but only slightly, leaving the face that hides under that ecliptic hood of his a mystery. You’re not sure you can smell any sweat on him, or hormones, or adrenaline. In fact… you’re not sure he even has a heartbeat.

The girl stares at you through half-lidded eyes, and blows out a bright sphere of gum. Oh my God could she be any more 90’s?

“Okay, guys… why are you robbing a thrift store?” It’s a valid question. It’s a really valid question. “I mean, just, why? Why not rob Forever 21 or some place with overpriced goods that sell for lots of money? You know who this store caters to? Me. And all the money I have to my name is the twenty in my back pocket.”
>>
>(2/2)

This sounds vaguely snarky, doesn’t it? Maybe you absorbed more from Spider-Man than running along walls. God, you hope not, you don’t want to turn into a midget.

The apparent leader of the group shoots you a look of utter disdain. You’re used to disdain, but you get the impression that your hobo-ness isn’t actually a factor here, and you’d be getting the same stare no matter your yearly income.

“This isn’t a robbery.” He turns back to the guy behind the desk, who shrinks away slightly. “We protect this place from dangerous mutants. Don’t we?”

His companions giggle. The big guy sounds like he’s compacting trash through his oesophagus.

“If we weren’t around, I get the feeling that bunch of scary mutants would just trash the whole place. But we are around, so that doesn’t happen. And if the owner wants it to keep not happening, we have to be paid for our services. Sounds fair, right?”

The gum bubble pops, as if to mark his words.
