You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

You’ve just been shopping.

Laden with an assorted selection of useful tools, you trail your way back into the Scar, trying your best to look as inconspicuous as possible – not easy, considering the fruits of your shopping expedition.

When you get back to the station, you drop a set of wrenches down by the stairs, along with a heavy metallic bat and a small pack of vitamins. You keep the ball bearings to yourself, stowing them away in your pockets. They’re not the largest you could find, but they have a considerable heft to them – you could probably disintegrate a person’s skull with a poorly-judged throw of one.

Or a well-judged throw.

Layla spots you as you come in, jogging up to you.

“Hey! You’re back!”

“Yep.” You say, nodding. “Where’s Kevin?”

Layla blinks, seeming almost surprised. “How’d you know he wasn’t in?”

You tap your nose.

“Oh, right. Dog nose.” No, not dog nose. Lizard mutant nose. “Gaby took him outside for a bit. She said he wanted to walk around or something…”

“Right, right…”

You flick your tongue out quickly, tasting at the air. Noriko’s in your tent with Laura. Lucas must be out with the others.

Awkwardly excusing yourself, you make your way to your tent. You hear the lowered voices within suddenly cease as you draw closer, poking your head in through the front flap. Laura is sitting with her legs crossed on one side of the tent, her torn jeans lying in a heap beside her. Noriko sits on the other side, apparently talking to her, though… all communication appears to have ceased as of now.

They both stare at you for a moment, and very briefly you entertain the thought that Laura was teaching the other girl to go deadpan, because that’s how they both look.

“Um… hi.” Clearing your throat, you edge a little further into the tent. “I was just wondering… uh… was there anything back from the other guys? On meeting up?”

Noriko glances back at Laura briefly before answering.

“Yeah, sure. Six o’clock tonight.” She pauses briefly, and makes a sort of rolling, noncommittal shrug. “Corsairs and Hisako’s people, anyway. Dunno if the other guys’ll show.”

Right.

The three of you sit there in silence for a moment, a long, nervous knot slowly bunching itself up at the core of your stomach, before Noriko rises jerkily to her feet.

“Well, anyhow, I’ll… be out of your way.” She edges around you, leaving the tent. “I think I’ll, y’know, see what the others are up to. And stuff.”

A thought strikes you, turning you about as she slinks away from the tent.

“Hey!” You call out after her, leaning back. “There were these guys from some charity hanging around outside. Mind keeping an eye out for them?”

Noriko nods quickly – so quickly, in fact, that you’re not sure she even heard you.

“Sure. I’ll just… keep an eye out.”

You turn back to Laura. Her stare bores into you, silent and oddly pointed.

“Hey.” You say, grinning awkwardly. You sort of feel like her eyes are constantly putting you on your back foot. “I got you some jeans. Since, y’know…”

You glance down at the pile of torn fabric beside Laura.

She follows your gaze momentarily, before nodding quietly. Nothing comes out of her mouth until you move a little further into the tent.

“Megan and her friends will be disappointed.” She states, her tone neutral. “They were looking forward to taking me shopping.”

You frown slightly. Megan doesn’t seem like bad person, but you can’t really be sure you trust her tastes. You can’t be sure that ‘shopping’ actually means shopping when the Corsairs are involved, too.

“…Did you want to go?”

She thinks about it for a moment.

“Maybe.”

“Well…” Why do you feel so uncomfortable? “You still can.”

Laura nods silently in response. There is a long minute or so of deathly quiet before you raise your voice.

“So, uh, I’m still not sure how this thing works…” You say, holding up your tech-gloved hand. “Seems neat, though.”

She moves a little closer, looking at it.

“I saw what it did to that creature.” Eddie. That reminds you, you still haven’t heard from Peter… “Hardlight projection, perhaps. How did you operate it?”

“I dunno, I just thought about what I wanted, I guess.”

She nods, as if that makes sense.

“Then think about what you want now.”

I imagine they cancel each other out, leaving us with the last vote of 2.

That or we get something epic, with a downside.

generally they cancel each other out so we use the 2, which is essentially the same as a 1 in a low stakes situation like this

So we got a 2.

You attempt to will a shield into existence, the glove begins to contort before it violently lets off sparks, you begin to feel a strange sensation as the glove changes shape, a feeling that quickly turns to pain as you are violently pulled into the glove.

>(Part 1/2)

You focus on what you want. This necessitates closing your eyes, because Laura currently isn’t wearing any pants, and what you want when Laura isn’t wearing pants is pretty different to what you want generally.

Last time you made a sort of shield come out, so you try that again, etching out the image in your mind. Circular, curved, protective. Impenetrable.

You feel a slight sting at the back of your hand, like a tiny set of mandibles sinking through your skin, and the whole glove starts to warm up. You open your eyes.

The shield is there – not red white and blue, but pretty convincingly solid, comprised out of a pulsing teal light that seems to ripple outward from the center of the glove. It even has the star on the front. You turn your arm over, marveling at the lightshow-replica, but before you can take it all in its shape begins to seethe at its edges and distort, losing coherence.
>>
>(2/2)

The air crackling around it, it buckles and collapses, diffusing outward into little more than a lingering glow. Try as you might, you can’t seem to get the thing to work again.

Maybe you overtaxed it?

“Huh.”

“A shield.” Says Laura, a little curiously.

“Y-yeah.” Captain America’s shield, specifically. You wonder if she noticed. Seems kinda childish in hindsight. You swallow, and roll your shoulders, winding yourself up. You just had a thought. “I can think of a few other things I want, though. And I doubt this thing could give me them.”

You lean closer, resting your palm on Laura’s naked thigh, her softness travelling up your arm like a wave of heat. She stares up at you, her heart beginning to beat harder, and –

“Where did you go last night?”

Uh. Wha–

It takes you a moment to reorganize your brain into talking mode.

“Oh, I… I…” You can’t seem to say it aloud. You know you didn’t kill him – not with your hands – but it’s… still something you can’t help but be a little ashamed of.

“It was something dangerous.” States Laura, very plainly not asking questions anymore. “You went alone, too. Don’t do that again.”

Her lips are so close. A small part of you jostles forward, engines revved, telling you that this isn’t fair – that she’s hardly one to talk. You push it back, down, out.

“O-okay.” You say, breathing it out in slow, uncertain tones. “I’m sorry. I just… I felt like it was something I had to do alone.”

You feel a little guilty the moment the words leave your lips. The thought was genuine when it was just a thought, but now that it’s out there, curdling in the air, you know it’s not true. You went alone because you were burning. You still are, on some level, in some way.

Laura nods contentedly, her eyes giving you a passing grade, and moves closer, her lips brushing at yours, illuminating you with their lightest touch.

The fire is still in you, and it wants to envelope her, to course over her and explore her and breathe in her moans. The viciousness of it shocks you – thoughts crash in your head, thoughts of her beneath you, of you pressing her down into the earth, rutting her until she’s squealing and insensate. Somehow they don’t feel like your thoughts - they feel like something insinuating themselves through you, burning away the parts of you that you recognize, the ideas and thoughts and feelings that are truly yours.

You kiss her, but that’s all you do. You hold the fire in, aiming it elsewhere.

The two of you collapse back upon the bed of mismatched fabrics that clutter your tent, Laura lying against you.

Laura doses blissfully against you, savouring the taste lingering upon her lips, and slowly you feel yourself begin to calm down. For just a moment, you feel at ease, the tension draining out of you. You’re not sure how long it lasts, but it’s not long.

Absolutely nothing kills the mood like turning your head and seeing a cartoonish rendition of your friend printed across your bedsheets.

Urgh.

Those are going to have to go eventually.

“One sec.” You mutter, frowning a little as you slip out from under Laura.

She gives you a quizzical stare as you make your way out.

Fishing your phone from your pocket, you dial Peter’s number. It rings for a good long time before anyone picks up.

The other end of the call is silent – mostly. You can hear him breathing.

“Hey.”

“…Hi.”

He’s alive, then. Whatever Eddie was didn’t kill him.

How do you play this cool? You feel like you have to play this somewhat cool, on account of Peter being a high-strung nerd. And, also, because you’re on the phone, and everyone knows the government listens to people’s phones 23/7. Not to mention Moon Knight.

“So.” So then. “How did stuff go with your friend?”

You use the term loosely. It’s better than “your supervillain” or “your goo monster” or “your murderous science abomination”, though, and those are the only other descriptions for Eddie that come to mind. That said, you might be some kind of science abomination.

Just not a murderous one. Not quite.

There is a brief pause, presumably while he wonders why he hasn't heard the magic Spider-word yet.

“…He got away.” Comes his reply, eventually. He sounds hella tired. “I’m not sure what happened to him, honestly, just that it… it had something to do with the project he was working on.”

The tenor of his voice tells you that he’s holding something back there.

You ignore it. Whatever he’s not telling you, he likely has a reason to be keeping quiet about it. You’re not exactly a paragon of honesty yourself.

“You need any help with that?” You offer.

“What?”

“With your friend – Eddie.” You pause, giving him space to answer, but a silence lingers the wake of your question that prompts you onwards. “I’ve got a pretty great nose, man. And I know this city.”

“I, uh…” He sounds guarded. Like he’s expecting a trick, somehow. “…I mean, thanks, but I can’t let you. It’s not your responsibility.”

“But it is yours?” You counter, quickly.

“Yes.” He sounds oddly sure of that. “It is.”

There is another brief silence, before he finally speaks up again, sounding a little deflated.

“Look… I’ll… I’ll call you if I need help.”

“Yeah, do.”

The moment lingers again. You clear your throat.

“Just so you know, I’m not gonna snitch.” Snitches get stitches, after all. You don’t want to know how the superperson equivalent of that saying goes. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

“…Thanks.”

There is another awkward silence before the both of you say bye, and you hang up.

Man that was weird.

Time crawls onward. You grab some of the remaining strips of chicken lying around and mix them into a stew, tentatively lighting the stove. You’re getting a little better at dealing with small flames like that – when they’re just sitting there, that is. If someone threw that shit at you it’d be another story entirely.

As you eat, people begin to filter back in, Noriko and Layla arriving first.

Noriko sits down opposite you with a big, decidedly raucous grin on her face. She watched as Layla heads to her tent, before turning back to you, still smiling.

“We didn’t.” You say, swallowing a bite of chicken.

Her face falls into a disappointed frown. “Eh, seriously? What’s wrong with you?”

In hindsight, without the fire roaring at its peak, you can’t help but think yeah, what IS wrong with you? But it’d be different if you were there again, and you know it.

“It’s not always the right time.” You mumble. Noriko snorts derisively in response.

“That was totally the right time.” She says. “I made time for you.”

You shrug. Finishing your meal, you feel strangely inactive for a moment, and absently move to go through a few press-ups, shrugging your hoodie off and tying it around your waist. It’s so weird that you’re like this now – a few months ago, the idea of actively chewing through your energy reserves would’ve been a form of heresy in your eyes. Hobo heresy.
>>
>(2/2)

“Man, you’ve turned into such a meathead.” Comments Noriko, chuckling. You frown at the floor.

“I’m not a meathead.” You say.

“You are.” She replies, smirking. “How huge do you plan to get? Wrestler huge?”

You were thinking action star huge. You decide to go with humour, however.

“Thor huge.”

“Hah.” She roots through a few of the bags lying around, presumably looking for something light to snack on. “The hugest. I suppose I wouldn’t mind that. You have to leave your shirt off more often, though.”

You’re gonna ignore that.

“So… where’d you go last night?” You ask, moving things along. You hear Noriko shift uncomfortably.

“I just went running for a bit. I used to run a lot, back in school.” A very slight hint of wistfulness plays at her voice. “I was pretty fast, too. Anyway, I guess I thought about going to see Roberto, or Kiden, but… I dunno. It didn’t feel right.”

“Yeah.” You say, grunting slightly. “Know what you mean.”

You pause for a moment, before bringing up something that’s been nagging at you for a little while.

“You know, I’ve been wondering…” You hear Noriko perk up, your tone apparently engaging her interest. “My blood heals people, right? I dunno if it can heal scars, but I’d like to try it, at some point. I still feel kinda responsible for… y’know…”

She’s quiet for a moment. Then:

“…Sure. I mean, let me get used to the idea, yeah?”

You nod.

Without warning, Noriko raises her voice.

“Hey! Laura! Your boyfriend’s getting huge!”

You blush profusely.

It doesn’t take long for her to emerge from her tent. You can feel her eyes on you as she pads over to Noriko, sitting down beside her.

And they watch. For about an hour at least. You feel vaguely ridiculous, but you know it’d be even more embarrassing to just stop, so you keep the routine up until you have to leave.

You actually ache a little by the time you’re done, which is rare.

Noriko confirms that everyone’s meeting where they did last time, at the old school. Makes sense.

Layla composes a quite substantial list of reasons why you should take her along, chief among them that she is “the best, ever”, but you decide she’s probably not old enough for secret gang meetings. That’s for eighteen-year-olds. And sixteen-year-olds, since Kevin’s coming. And fifteen-year-olds, you guess…

Leaving her to sulk all over Noriko, you head out into the Scar with Kevin and Laura, making your way toward the old schoolhouse. The red up above is beginning to dim, night stretching its long shadow over the bones of the Scar, as if clothing them. Everything always looks a little bigger as night begins to fall. Just a little taller.

You hear them before you see them. You were expecting to be the first ones there, but the opposite turns out to be the case – even the Hellions have arrived before you, Julian’s distinctive chortle rising over the ruins. As you get closer, circling around toward the open side of the school, they come into view, and Hisako spots you, waving. She’s accompanied by Victor and the niqab girl.

“Hey.” You say, casting a wary eye about the assembled parties.

In general, things aren’t as tense as they were the last time you guys all met up. Jono still looks like a sour little bastard, but he’s visibly more relaxed, as are his two friends – Megan and the bald kid. Julian is chatting away with the triplets, nursing a light beer in one hand, while Brian talks to Megan.

You sort of feel like you’re in the kitchen zone of a very strange party.

“Afternoon.” Rattles Jono, his voice exploding through your head. You nod back at him, and he – you’re pretty sure what he does next is like his version of clearing his throat. It’s like a trail of firecrackers going off along the base of your skull. “Let’s get this started, then.”

Ask how they are doing, then break the good news.

And isn't Victor a Hellion?

I don't think so. All we said was for Julian to bring the triplets.

And he's not a Hellion.

All eyes turn on you. You guess you did call this meeting, but still, it’s a little daunting. Sometimes when this happens you like to just think about how you know what every single one of these people has been eating for the last three or so days, and how terrible they should all feel about it.

“Alight.” You cough slightly. “How’ve you guys been getting on?”

There are more than a few glances shared.

“We’re doing great.” Says Julian, eventually. “Better than great, actually.”

There’s something more to the way he says it than just his usual arrogance. The way he lets the words trail lazily out, the way he stands, the way he breathes… he has a secret, and he almost wants to tell everyone about it. Almost.

“Same here.” Adds Hisako. “We’ve been harassing the Triads. I’ve made sure we stay very far away from Mr. Negative, of course. I don’t think any of us want a repeat of that.”

No, you think. But the fire says you might. It says you’re getting stronger, after all. Strong enough to make things play out different. Better.

Jono just shrugs. “We’re doing okay.”

You nod slowly.

“Okay, cool. Well…” Where to begin? “…None of you have to worry about The Owl anymore. He’s gone.”

The way they all move in response to that is interesting. You feel Laura’s eyes bore into your back.

“What do you mean?” Says Hisako, squinting a little at you, as though trying to discern you from a great distance.

“He’s gone.” You repeat.

There is a brief silence. Julian is the one that breaks it.

“Well, that’s good, right?” He grins, ignoring the slightly disappointed stare Hisako fixes him with. He’s so sure of himself today, so sure that whatever his secret is, it makes him special somehow. “One less asshole to worry about.”

“…Yeah.” Acknowledges Jono, his eyes still on you.

You can’t take it anymore. You can’t take this level of smug. It's probably radioactive or something.

“Julian, is there something you’d like to share with us?” You say, drawing a surprised stare from him.

For once – and it’s just for a second – he looks totally off-guard as all eyes swivel toward him.

Regaining his composure almost instantly (in fact, you doubt anyone else would even notice), he smirks at you, chuckling quietly.

“You’re a psychic, now?”

“No.” Come three, perfectly-chorused replies, intercepting your own. The triplets. “He’s not. His senses are amazing, though.” They smile. All three of ‘em. “He can almost see what you’re thinking. Almost.”

Well… thanks, girls. Thanks for that.

“You’re welcome.”

Urgh.

“Whatever.” You say. “What’s so exciting, Julian? You look like you’ll pop if you hold it in much longer.”

>(1/2)

“…What’s he talking about, Julian?” Hisako says, eyeing you carefully. You noticed just about everyone’s posture change subtly when the triplets dropped that little bomb about you being about two fifths of a mind reader.

You never really thought about it like that, but you guess they’re right.

“Alright, alright.” Julian holds up his hands in mock surrender, grinning from ear to ear. “Try not to swoon.”

“We’ll do our best.” Says Jono, his voice grating through your mind.

Julian stands there for a moment looking monumentally pleased with himself, his eyes scrutinizing each of you in turn, before he leans back slightly, shouting out to someone nearby.

“Hey!” He almost laughs. “You can come out now!”

Jono looks furious. You’re not sure about Hisako – you guess she’s giving him the benefit of the doubt.

You’re mostly just wondering how Julian’s mystery guest avoided your sense of smell.

>(2/2)

The question is answered quite fully when she emerges from behind the dip in the rubble that washes down over the back of the school.

She’s tall, slim, and meticulously clean – the grime of the Scar seems to flow around her, refusing to settle upon her smart, striped jacket or her long, impeccably bound hair. Her skin is ambiguously dark – you couldn’t say whether she’s black, or Latino, or just very convincingly tanned, her features seeming to dodge any singular ethnicity. She’s beautiful, but in a way you just can’t believe, her features coming together almost too well, a cocktail of everything you find exotic or appealing.

And her eyes are a sharp, bright shade of yellow.

She smells of nothing. Or almost nothing. You’re not sure she sweats.

“Good afternoon.” She purrs, in a surprisingly level, unadventurous American accent. You were expecting something more… foreign. “I come to you as a representative of your greatest ally. My name is Raven Darkholme.”

Her eyes cling to you for a moment, and you perceive, just for a second, something inexplicable in her smile.

For your consideration level 2 abilities that should be at level 3:

Subdermal Bioweave
>Level 3: The strengthening of JJ’s soft tissues continues, making it possible for bullets and other high-powered forms of damage to be slowed significantly before they wreak too much havoc on JJ’s internals.

Natural Weaponry
>Level 3: JJ’s claws may now be modified so as to be heavy or long (going to 18” at longest and thinnest). They are highly resistant to damage. At this level, JJ may protrude and retract a prehensile, spaded tail capable of gripping solid objects.

Elecrostatic Touch
>Level 3: Way higher voltage. Will seriously electrocute motherfuckers. Will damage armoured electronics.

Telescopic vision's primary advantage is its increase in the range of all our ranged abilities, not to mention power projection and perception when in flight.
Right now it helps with the optical force blasts, at teir 3 it has a very good chance of helping with ranged powers from there as well, depending.
>>
TELESCOPIC VISION
Requires: Level 5 Enhanced Senses.
Cost: 3
This ability allows JJ to magnify his vision, perceiving at exceptional distances. I allows perception down to the molecular level.

SUB-MOLECULAR VISION
Requires: Level 5 Enhanced Senses, Telescopic Vision.
Cost: 2
JJ becomes capable of perceiving the details of atoms and particles, and can accurately perceive the genetic structure of a living being.


Perception down to molecular level? Details of genetic structure? Literally the only use for that is T3 stuff, which was confirmed. This makes it a useful long-term purchase. Meanwhile, telescopic vision is itself handy to let us combo with OFB.

There are other short term things I wouldn't mind grabbing, but with T3 really being worked on I figured we would be better served getting it ASAP. Not that I'd be disappointed in some other sensible purchases since we have have heavy fighting approaching.

But God, isn't basically anything more of a priority than *chlorophyll* of all things?

I'm not going to bother with looking at the paste, so just tell me if I've gone full retard here, but I'm pretty sure that OFB and at least one other power allows atomic level precision at high levels if we have the appropriate vision.

>JJ may cause himself and an object or surface of his choice to repulse one another. The force of this repulsion is variable. If JJ has the senses, reflexes, and training, he could even apply this effect to projectiles mid-flight.

Best power currently available. But it costs 8 X-points total and I don't think anyone's willing to save that much when there are cheaper powers available.

I say Chlorophyl and Mutate Flora would be pretty cool, because that means that the harder JJ gets beaten up, the more the earth will rise up against our enemies.

Kind of like raid leader mechanic.
If our health goes down to certain degree, we spawn adds.

Starting up a small farm of various plants that sell and aren't illegal for 1p. Seriously supporting our group and a good portion of the Scar for 1p.

We have one point banked, so Telescopic isn't for 'right now', it'll be ~2 threads from now, possibly more (Crusty has said that X-points will be coming slower now/soon). Upgrading OFB is decent but not top-tier for me, as it's benefit is making people go somewhere else, while Electrostatic and >>42174560 will give us more interesting toys to play with.

Kind of fucked in on concrete, or hell most places, i believe that it is not that fast acting. Intriguing idea though.

Crusty confirmed that we could use Counterpolarity to run faster and jump higher by repulsing off the ground. Also having bullets bounce off us.

We'd probably need level 5 + those two Extrapolatives. I'm not saying that isn't a pretty cool combo, I'm saying the potential for fucking up is there, we'd have to do it to someone's whole body (which would take both lots of time and energy), and it'd cost 14 X-points.

The last means it's something to plan on.

Not that anon
It would certainly be lessened in excessively urban places, but there are small mosses everywhere and grass gets into the cracks of concrete and asphalt and stuff pretty quick.

How much money do you need anyways? The Phantom and Moon Moon keep us living in hobo luxury, and we can't actually do better than that because the real issue is threat of eviction not lack of money.

I figured that sort of thing would T3 shit - I mean, see genetic structure? Practically screams biokinesis.

Yeah, again, its a cool concept, but i dont think the blood would be fast acting enough to be viable in a fight scenario. Presuming anyone who can hurt us dosent send our ass sailing through the air dozens of meters at a time.

Now if JJ had time to entrench a position, sure itd be cool and useful.

>>42174741
People are made up of quite a bit of genetics, so it'd take time, Anon. I'm not saying we couldn't, just that this is a precise thing we'd want to practice. Note that ironically, this also could be used to GE plants as well as people.

Until the sky turns blue again, money has dried up and I'd rather not rely on Moon Knight, because he'll want to be paid back.

Flubber sounds pretty cool to play with but not that useful against heavy hitters.

First time commenting on chlorophyll this thread. I like the idea of being able to feed everyone. Not just here in New York either. The mutants are going to need to move sooner or later. It's a question of when the Sentinels come not if.

Plant powers would make food a non-issue no matter where we move to (Greenland would be a good place).

Joshua Tree would paint a target on our back I agree. But It's the only power on that list that can actually change the world. With it JJ could do more for the mutant cause than even Magneto.

So you want to set up long term farming instead?

Why do people see this as a "get rich quick" thing instead of a "save some money on food" thing? Why is something so base as money even a concern when considering a resource as valuble as an x-point?

Combine joshua tree with the higher end gene editing and prediction abilities and you have yourself a winning combo even i would vote for, since the gene prediction and editing means you can control the random variable that makes the joshua tree untennable right now, and without a second party to boot.

Joshua tree is still end game for now though.

And hell, we could hypothetically find a way to give people a light activation, which would give people more strength, stamina, and the perfect ass. Who could say no to that?

>>42174933
They grow much faster. I assume, with the proper connections, and selling both rare and hard-to-grow plants to various non-shady scientific groups we could make 5-6 figures per month if we're careful and find a way to process it ourselves.

Till then, feed the scar, slow down or stop the gangs' thefts. In the end, there is no get-rich-quick, but I've thought about this, and it mostly involves organizing people, talking, and some manual labour.

JJ is too moralfaggot to steal unless he absolutely has to, and he shops with the skill of a hobo.

>>42174997
As one of the people vehmently denying Chlorophyll right now, even I can go for that - we just aren't anywhere near that level yet, need to hit T3 to be "global" tier.
>>
>>42175078
>That's the way I see molecular vision, myself. It's useful when used for SCIENCE!, but beyond that...
So the fact that the T3 abilities seem to be conceptual in nature, and the fact that's the sort of ability that could be handy in utilizing some kinds of conceptual powers, aren't worth considering?

But you think we have a month to grow all this shit, and the connections to sell it? Where did these scientific groups come from? What are we even selling them?

No. It's random.
