World of Opression IC

[Edenecho]

Chase walked with Chelsea toward the place they both felt drawn to. Chase, being the quiet guy he was, just walked quietly, deep in thought. Chelsea, on the other had, was both less quiet and more of a worrier. "What if it's a government trap? Maybe they found a way to draw people with superpowers to them. We could be walking right into their hands," She said.
Chase looked at her, pushing his glasses higher on his nose, before saying,"It could be leading us to other people with powers. You know as well as I do that we're stronger as a group. Don't worry, we'll be careful. And if the government is there, we have the advantage of our powers. If anyone tries to attack, you can just attack them with your....hair."
Chelsea gave a slight smile. She knew well that Chase thought her powers were strange, to say the least. She gave a sigh, then said,"You know how I worry a lot. I can't help it. Neither of us exactly have very good fighting powers. I can't exactly stop bullets with my hair. I guess you could stuff them all in your backpack," She added the last part jokingly, and Chase smiled. "I could stuff you in my backpack to keep you safe, then hope there's a kid with a video game nearby," He joked in reply, causing Chelsea to giggle. He wondered what Seth was up to. He was being quiet today. He concentrated on their mental connection and found that Seth was dreaming. A very odd dream at that. He didn't even bother trying to understand what the F was going on, and focused back on his surroundings.

They walked in silence for a while before they both stopped. They felt they had reached where they were being drawn to. They both looked around and saw no one, to Chelsea's relief and Chase's curiosity. What was pulling them here if no one was here? They looked at each other and Chelsea raised an eyebrow. Chase shrugged silently and looked around again. This time he did spot someone, someone who appeared to be a doctor.

Dr.Butler had been helping a kindly old lady who had aching bones when he suddenly felt drawn to an area. Curious, he headed out, after helping the old lady, and found that the area was in the middle of a park. He saw two other people there, and young boy and girl, who both seemed to be just as curious about this area. He wondered if they had been drawn here, or if they were the ones drawing people here. He went over to the and decided to ask. "Hello," He said, and paused, unsure about how to ask without sounding insane, if they hadn't been drawn here. Before he could say anything, the girl said,"You were drawn here, too, weren't you?" He gave a nod. He wondered if they had superpowers, too. The boy, who was rather tall, was looking at him with curiosity in his eyes, and someone he knew the boy was wondering the same thing, though it was the girl who spoke. "It seems like something is drawing superhumans here...." She said, speaking in a quiet, hushed voice. Dr.Butler nodded, then the girl said,"I'm Chelsea, but you can call me Chance. This is Chase," she gestured to Chase when she said the last part. Chase gave a small smile, and Dr.butler said,"Chance and Chase...Nice to meet you, I'm Devin, but you can just call me Dr.Butler." Chance smiled, then said,"Nice to meet you. I wonder if anyone else will show up."

[Leslie]

Ophelia followed the feelings that were drawing her someplace, partly wondering why she was even following the feelings. It could so easily be a trap, she knew it could. But she knew she was also ready to attack if it was. She figured she could get away before they did anything useful, unless they started to shoot at her. She wasn't sure she had fast enough of a reaction time to stop any bullets coming at her suddenly. Though, she kinda figured they'd rather take them alive, and imprison them, or use them, whatever their intentions were. And to avoid people just rising up and getting pissed, it was probably best not to attack an unarmed person and kill them. If she attacked first, that would be another story. But she didn't have any intention of making the first move if anything happened.

She arrived to the area, and all she saw was some other people, not a giant squad of military men or government officials. Unless they were hiding. Whatever it was, she came up to the people anyway, looking around. They didn't seem to have any interest in attacking her, and based on their conversation, it sounded like they were as confused as her. Which made her worry even more, for some reason, and she looked around at the nearby surroundings, trying to see if she could spot any snipers or something hiding somewhere. "You sure this isn't an ambush of some sort?" She asked the others.

Serephina
Serephina was driving to where she felt she was being drawn to, in her Chrysler Crossfire. She wouldn't exactly be considered the definition of a fantastic driver, due to her speeding. But she wasn't exactly bad either. Even though she sped, she did drive well. It wasn't like some teenager who couldn't drive worth a crap speeding because it was cool. She had done some advanced driving lessons, because she always had this "Need for speed", and she even thought of making a career out of it at some point. That was before she discovered her abilities. All of her hopes and dreams were shattered then, because she wasn't sure if she could go on living a normal life anymore.

She pulled up and parked her car somewhere, before hopping out of the car and wandering off to where she felt drawn to. Where she parked her car wasn't entirely near the location, but not massively far away from it. Strangely, since everyone seems to always somehow coincidentally pile on top of each other at the same time, she arrived only a few seconds after Ophelia. Unlike Ophelia, who she noticed seemed to be rather paranoid about this, she was smiling brightly, and she didn't seem worried in the slightest. In fact, she attempted a joke.

"None of you heard music in your heads or anything as you came here, did you?" She asked, looking serious about her question......before she started to look like she was trying not to laugh, and snorted because she was trying to hold in her laugh. Ophelia just looked at her like she was weird, and raised an eyebrow, because she didn't understand the joke in the slightest. She also thought this was a rather serious moment, and not a moment for joking around, but she kept that to herself.

[Edenecho]

All three of the people already there turned to Ophelia when she came over, and asked if they were sure it wasn't an ambush. "No, we're not," Chelsea said, then Chase said,"There's nowhere for anyone to hide," While gesturing around at the surroundings. There really wasn't much of anywhere to hide. Sure, snipers could hide on the buildings a ways off, but it seemed unlikely. Dr.Butler decided to try better to reassure the girl,"I don't think the government could draw us all here like this. I think it must be something supernatural, like us. Besides, if it was an ambush, I think if we worked together, we could find some way to fight them off, or something." Chelsea and Chase looked at each other. Neither of them had powers particularly good for fighting.
Hmmmm. What's going on?
Chase jumped slightly when he heard Seth's voice in his head all of a sudden. Apparently he was awake now, though he sounded tired.
Remember that feeling we had about being drawn somewhere? This is where it was drawing us to, and there are other people with powers here, He replied, just as Serephina showed up. Chase smirked at what she said, but Cheslea just raised an eyebrow. "You mean like a Siren?" She asked, but Chase clearly knew what she was referring to. Cheslea knew a lot about games, but not about shows.

Dr.Butler just kind of watched as everyone started showing up, and listened to what they had to say. After a bit, however, he asked,"How long do you think we should wait for others to show up?"

[Leslie]

Ophelia looked around at her surroundings again, and sighed, knowing she was just being paranoid. "Yeah....I'm probably just being paranoid" She said in response to pretty much everything. Noticing how Chelsea and Chase both looked at each other as if they didn't really believe they could fight them off, probably because they didn't have good attacking abilities, she decided to return the favor of reassuring. "I can attack if absolutely needed" She said, putting her right hand out and letting the electricity jump from each of her fingers. It didn't look massively impressive yet, but it would have to do. She then did the same with her left hand, and a small flame shot out of it. "Not very impressive yet, but it will have to do" She said, and she put her hand out towards something on the ground, and lifted it up, before dropping again. "Hopefully I can do better then that in the future, or I won't be much use against these people who are trying to arrest us for having something we can't help but have" She said, shaking her head.

Serephina
Serephina shrugged to Chelsea. "That works too, but that's not what I meant" She said, then turned back to Chase and smiled. "I think he got what I was referencing" She said, but didn't even say WHAT she was referencing, to help the others out. Ophelia just continued to look confused, and moved on.

"I don't know. Clearly we are being brought here for a reason. What that reason is I wouldn't have a clue. I guess we could wait for 10 minutes or so and see who else shows up" Serephina suggested, and Ophelia just shrugged in response, that sounding okay with her.

"In the meantime, it would probably be best for us to get to know each other. Who knows how long we may end up being together" Serephina said, smiling brightly. "My name is Serephina Caselli" She told the others, then looked to Chase, then to Chelsea, and then to Dr. Butler for confirmation of their names, before finally looking over to Ophelia and using her opportunity to show off a little, and possibly weird out Ophelia. "Let me guess your name" She said with a smirk, then went up to Ophelia and touched both sides of her head with the palms of her hands. Ophelia looked extremely weirded out, and pulled away from her. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked, looking annoyed. "I'm just guessing your name" She said, smirking some more. Apparently she was kind of mischievous. Even though that was a short period of time, she did get to know her name. "Your names....Ophelia Nevin? Is that right?" She asked, and Ophelia looked surprised how the hell she knew that, but then came to the conclusion it was probably her ability. "Yeah.....That's right. Cool power" She said, giving Serephina a quick smile, before just going and staring off, probably because she wasn't really a very social person most of the time. Serephina just smiled back, and turned back to the others, leaving Ophelia alone now.

[Edenecho]

"I know the feeling,"Chelsea replied to Ophelia,"I'm paranoid a lot, always have been." She watched Ophelia show off her powers, and said,"Cool! I can attack if absolutely needed, as well. I can also just weird the hell out of everyone," With that, her hair grew longer and she grabbed Chase by his foot before tripping him and hanging him upside down with her hair. She giggled slightly. Apparently she was kind of mischievous, too.
"Gah!" Chase gasped when all of a sudden he was tripped and held upside down. "Chance!" He gasped, his glasses sliding off the top of his head. Chelsea giggled again, then gently put him down. He fumbled for his glasses slightly before finding them and shoving them back on his face.
Damn, you really can't see well, can you?
.....No shit. I wear glasses for a reason, you know.
He stood up and adjusted his glasses slightly. "I can't fight," He said, frowning slightly.

He nodded to Serephina when she said that he got what she was referencing, then said,"Fracking toasters," with a smile. Chelsea just looked at Ophelia in a 'Don't worry, you're not the only one who has no clue what they're talking about' way. All three nodded when she said they should wait like, ten minutes or so for other people to arrive.

Chelsea nodded to Serephina, mostly because she liked getting to know people. "I'm Cheslea Ryder, but you can call me Chance, all my friends do, and I like it better then Chelsea," Chelsea said. "I like Chelsea fine, I think it's pretty," Chase replied, and Chelsea smiled. It seemed that even though they had broken up, they weren't beyond a bit of flirting every now and then. "And nice name, by the way. It's pretty," Chelsea said to Serephina. Chase gave a slight nod, then said,"I'm Chase. Cousland, if you care about my last name." Dr.Butler just kind of said,"Dr.Butler," not seeing much of a point in saying more then that.

Chase and Chelsea both watched Serephina use her powers. Once she was done, Chelsea looked impressed, but Chase said,"That seems like a bit of an invasion of privacy. At least without permission." Chelsea kind of stared for a bit, before giving Chase a shove. "Everyone's showing off their powers! It's your turn now." He looked at her and raised an eyebrow, before sighing and taking his backpack off. He looked around to make sure no one was watching, then started digging around in it. He stuck his arm like, all the way in and dug around for a bit.
"Argh!" He gasped, falling over backwards. His arm came out of the bag with a crab holding on to his finger with it's pincer.
Ow! How did that get in there?
"Ow, ow ow!" He gasped, ignoring Seth at the moment and shaking his hand before trying to pry it off with his other hand. With the help of Chelsea's hair, he managed to get it off. The crab crawled moodily away while Chase nursed his aching finger. Dr.Butler decided it was time for him to step in, and put his hand on Chase's shoulder. Immediately the pain vanished. Chase's eyes widened, and he smiled,"Thanks. That's a cool power," He said to Dr.Butler. The doctor just smiled in reply.

Chase adjusted himself so he was kneeling beside his backpack again. "Just so you know, I don't tend to keep animals in my backpack....I have no idea how that got there," He said, before reaching his hand in again. This time he pulled out a laptop and placed in on the ground in front of him. While turning it on with one hand, he reached back into the backpack with the other before pulling out a game. He inserted Red Faction: Armageddon(I think that's what it's called) in the CD player. Once he started up the game, he glanced around again, before putting his hands on both sides of the laptop and staring at it with deep concentration. After a bit, he vanished, and the game seemingly started playing itself....And doing stuff it shouldn't be able to, such as, the main character waved at the screen. Shortly later he started sucking up everything he could with his like, black hole gun or whatever, before letting himself get killed by enemies. Once he died, he appeared back in front of the laptop. Silently he turned it off and put it back in his backpack.
"Isn't that cool?! I wish I had that power," Chelsea said cheerfully. "And for anyone who didn't get it, he can enter a game and become the main character. He can even change things a bit, like, he can wave and do movements you normally couldn't playing the game."

[Leslie]

Ophelia watched Chelsea's ability with interest, thinking it was rather fascinating. "That is definitely an interesting power" She said, smiling. She didn't really react to it in any other way then that. She didn't really seem to be particularly amused by what Chelsea did with her abilities, or really mind it either. At this point, Serephina was there too, and she chuckled at what Chelsea did. "I think you and I could be good friends" She said to Chelsea with a grin, but Ophelia just shook her head, but it seemed to be in a lighthearted way. When Chase said he couldn't fight, she said "I don't really know if I think that's a bad thing. It keeps you from really being able to injure or possibly kill people". She sighed, and shook her head. There were weird mixed thoughts in her mind that were bothering her, and not pleasing her, but she just stayed quiet and hoped none of the people here could read minds. Or, at least, didn't read minds without permission.

Serephina laughed out loud, and pointed at Chase. "I like this guy. We can be friends too" She said with another laugh. Ophelia continued to look confused, and gave Chelsea a look, but didn't say anything. She was tempted to say "Are we both out of touch with reality or something?", but decided not to.

"Pretty name" Serephina said in her overly friendly tone of voice, while smiling brightly. She just laughed at Chase saying that Chelsea's name was pretty, and that automatically gave her the thought that these two were probably together. Not that she was going to ask. That would be a strange thing to ask someone you just met. "Thanks!" She said happily in response to Chelsea saying her name was pretty. To the rest of the people introducing their names, she smiled, and said "You all have cool names!".

"No kidding" Both Ophelia and Serephina said at the same time, but Ophelia seemed to of said it in more of an annoyed way, while Serephina said it in a joking way, though she had no intentions of continuing to invade peoples minds like that without their permission. She just wanted to be a brat. Serephina just waited patiently to see what Chase' ability was.

When he stuck his hand in his backpack and his like, entire hand disappeared, Serephina looked surprised, but thought it was awesome. "Hey look! It's Hermione's bag!" She exclaimed, and started to laugh again, before she turned more serious when he said "Argh!" like a pirate would say. Both Ophelia and Serephina looked equally confused by the fact Chase had a crab in his backpack, but didn't say anything. But the situation was quickly resolved, and the hitchhiking crab wandered off. Ophelia vaguely wondered if they should just eat it, because she felt that it might be a good idea instead of having this crab that's probably not in it's natural territory just die, and because they did need food to survive. But she didn't end up saying anything, because she was kinda quiet, and didn't speak her mind a whole lot, even if it might benefit the group. That was something she knew she would need to work on during all of this.

"Did you go to the beach?" Serephina asked curiously, while Ophelia just went back to being quiet. Both Serephina seemed surprised when Chase suddenly vanished, especially Serephina. She almost asked if that was supposed to happen, but realized what was going on before she did say anything. Ophelia came over, and just said "What the hell?" in response to the screen, while Serephina seemed to just think it was awesome.

"That's totally cool!" Serephina said in response to Chelsea. "I would love to have that ability. There are so many games I would love to just be in for the hell of it" She said, imagining herself in various different types of games. Ophelia on the other hand seemed less impressed. "Cool, but rather useless" She said, being rather to the point. "It won't exactly be useful if you are in a bad situation. I guess expanding your bag could be rather useful at times, though. It seems like we all have 2 to 3 abilities or so. What else can you do?" She asked him.

"I wonder why we all gain about 2 to 3 powers. Seems like an interesting number. I would expect the average to be 1, not 2 or 3. Both Ophelia and I have three" Serephina said, and then it seemed like a thought hit her. "Oh! That reminds me! I never mentioned my other abilities. I also have technopathy, and telepathy. So if you need anything small repaired, tell me, and I can try my best. Or if you need someones mind read. I can't seem to communicate to others with that power yet, though, or place thoughts into others heads or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if I did some day, assuming our powers develop after a while" She said, looking thoughtful and smiling. Ophelia didn't seem too pleased to hear that she had telepathic abilities, but as usual, kept the thoughts to herself. Overall she felt it could be a useful ability, though, she was just worried about what Serephina may end up hearing.

[Edenecho]

"Thanks," Chelsea said to Ophelia with a smile, before returning her hair to it's original length. "I can also change my looks, like Tonks from Harry Potter. And I can do this," Her ponytails raised over her head and started spinning like helicopter blades and she slowly lifted off the ground. She gave a smile before settling back down on the ground, her hair falling limp again. She smiled at Serephina,"I believe we could," She replied, almost ominously. Chase looked kind of concerned as he wiped some grass off his glasses, but he stayed quiet. He gave a nod to what Ophelia said, and replied,"It would be nice to have some sort of defense from the government, though.

He smiled at Serephina, then said,"You can't be friends with me and Chance at the same time," Jokingly. Mostly he was referring to how she said that her and Chelsea could be good friends right after she'd did a sort of prank on him. Chelsea gave him a jokingly annoying look, before smiling. Dr.butler just watched.

"Thanks," Chelsea said when Serephina said her name was pretty. She gave a warm smile. She liked Saraphina. She was nice, funny, and pretty in a kind of bad-ass way. She wondered how old she was. She also wondered why she wondered how old she was, though she was pretty sure she knew the answer. She just gave a quiet giggle for no apparent reason, which got her a raised-eyebrow glance from Chase. When she said they all have cool names, Chase said,"Thanks," while Dr.Butler said,"Devin? Not what I'd consider a cool name, but thanks anyway."

Chase raised an eyebrow at Ophelia, kind of thinking that she may be taking it a bit to seriously, but he didn't say anything, and neither did Chelsea. Basically there wasn't much worth mentioning during all the stuff with Chase, other then him saying,"Uh, a while ago," When Serephina asked if he'd been to the beach. After he showed off his powers, he just kind of gave Serephina a small smile when she said his powers were totally cool. "You're telling me," Chelsea said,"My dad makes games, which made me a major game nerd in turn. I would love to have that power." Both Chase and Chelsea turned their gaze to Ophelia when she said Chase's powers were rather useless. They both looked quite annoyed, too.
Well thanks, asshole, Seth said, even though she wasn't referring to him, he was still annoyed.
Seriously...
"I told you ahead of time that my powers couldn't be used for fighting," He snapped,"And you were the one who said that that could be a good thing." And Chelsea said,"There's no need to be rude about it. If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything, as the saying goes." Chase then added,"besides, it's not 'useless', it's used for fun, which is not useless." Clearly both were quite annoyed with her rudeness. When she asked what his other powers were, he just snapped,"Wondering if I may be useful after all?" without bothering to tell her his other 'power'. Chelsea also didn't tell her.

Chelsea shrugged,"I don't know. It is interesting, though. There's probably some scientific crap about why, but I really don't care," She said jokingly. "Cool!" She said in response to Serephina's other powers, then turned to Dr.Butler. "What are your powers?" She asked. "Well, I can control blood," Dr.Butler said, and Chelsea looked kinda creeped out,"I only use it for healing. Or I guess against the government if I have to. Anyway, I can ease pain, and I can change the direction of any object in motion." She looked much more interested in his last two powers, and Chase just watched quietly.

[Leslie]

"People at my orphanage talked about Harry Potter a lot...." Ophelia said thoughtfully. Which probably gave a pretty clear indication she knew nothing about Harry Potter. Watching her fly with her pigtails made her raise an eyebrow, because that was just totally weird. "Interesting indeed" She said to Chelsea. "And a little weird" She added. Serephina chimed in and smiled. "That's totally cool! I think I've seen that in a movie before, but I don't remember what movie it was" She said, shrugging. She raised an eyebrow. "You made that sound ominous" She said while laughing.

Serephina didn't really seem to acknowledge the giggle or the fact Chelsea looked thoughtful, or that Chase raised an eyebrow at Chelsea, and she addressed what Dr. Butler said about his name. "It may not be the coolest name ever, but it's not overly common, so that's good enough for me" She said, smiling. "Like Ophelia isn't a common name" She said, looking over at Ophelia, who just gave a sort of nod. "And neither is my name" She added.

"I would think the crab would of died then....Huh, weird" Serephina said, shrugging. "Unless you have like a pool in there" She joked. She then listened to what Chelsea said next. "I'm not a huge game nerd, but I've played some games. I'm probably a bigger movie or show nerd" She said, again imagining herself in video games, thinking that power would just be totally fun.

"Wow, sorry that you are easily offended" Ophelia said, trying to sound the least rude as possible, but not really succeeding. She did realize what she said kinda contradicted what she said earlier, and felt a little bad about that. "Don't you hate when you say two things that counter each other?" She asked them, seeming surprisingly calm about the whole thing. She thought in her mind that she didn't really care what a saying had to say, but kept that to herself. Really, she didn't say anything in response to him saying it was meant for fun, which isn't useless, because she couldn't really think of anything in particular to say. She seemed a little irritated at the last part. "Wow, people are so easily offended" She said quietly, but loud enough for them to hear. That was all she said on that particular subject.

Serephina's response to it all was to shake her head and listen. "So much tension between each other so soon. Relax everyone!" She said, smiling brightly like she did before as if there hadn't bee a serious argument or whatever going on just a bit ago. Ophelia just raised an eyebrow, wondering how someone could be so lighthearted and happy about everything. "You only live once, don't waste it on blowing off steam on each other" She said, still smiling, and sounding like she had a joking hint to her voice. Ophelia actually chuckled, but didn't say anything.

Serephina chuckled, or more like giggled at what Chelsea said about not really caring if there was some scientific crap about why they all had like, 3 powers. As Dr. Butler explained his abilities, she smiled, and just happily said "Cool!" in response.

[Edenecho]

"You've never seen Harry Potter?" Chelsea asked. She wasn't asking it like she was surprised or anything, just curious. "You're an orphan?" Chase asked quietly, clearly more interested in that then in the fact she hadn't seen Harry Potter....Which made sense. There was also a sound to his voice that showed that made it clear that if she didn't want to talk about it, he was fine for her not to. Chelsea smiled at Ophelia when she said her flying power was interesting and weird, and said,"You're telling me," In a joking way. To Serephina, she said shrugged, and Chase asked,"Spy Kids 2, maybe? There was a girl who had hair ties that made it so she could fly with her ponytails, or something like that." Apparently Chase was kind of a movie nerd. Chelsea smiled,"That was the point."

Dr.Butler just kind of smiled in response to what Serephina said about his name. Apparently he was the type to just kind of sit by quietly and listen to everyone else chat, rather then doing much chatting himself. Chase nodded,"You both have names I've never really heard of a real person having, it's cool," He said.

Chase shrugged and said,"I don't think crabs die from lack of water, but I'm not sure. They at least don't die as quickly as whales and whatnot. How it survived, however, I don't know." Chelsea nodded,"Chase is like, an everything nerd," She said jokingly,"He likes books, games, movies, he's even a board game nerd, of sorts." Cole just kind of stayed quiet in reply, not seeming to mind being considered a nerd, like some people.

He narrowed his eyes at Ophelia and said sarcastically,"Oh, sorry. I didn't know getting annoyed when someone kind of basically says you're useless was an overreaction."
I bet you anything she would respond the same....Hypocrite.
"Yeah..." Chase said, before adding,"Though I don't tend to say one thing then get on someone's case for not being able to do what you were just criticizing." Chelsea, who was defensive of her friends, looked even more pissed when she said they were so easily offended. "I bet anything you would reply the same if you felt someone said you were useless," She snapped.
Maybe she is useless.
Sometimes I wonder if you're any better then people like her.
Just say it, just to see how she responds, then we'd see if she really was a hypocrite.
I'm not going to lie just to see if someone's a hypocrite.
Suit yourself.
He could feel Seth's frustration that he couldn't be here. That he couldn't speak, or hear or see with his own senses.
You'd be frustrated, too.
I never doubted that.
Sometimes he didn't like that Seth could read his thoughts,
....
But he was used to it by now, and he actually enjoyed Seth's 'company', even though any romantic interaction between Chase and Chelsea got really kind of awkward,
Why did your mind go there, of all places?
Chase shook his head with a mixture of a sigh and a chuckle.

"We have to blow of steam sometime," Chelsea replied jokingly. Chase and Dr.butler didn't reply, but it didn't seem like Chase was as willing to just relax. Sure, he would stop fighting or whatever, but he wasn't exactly going to just become best friends with Ophelia all of a sudden. He hoped she'd stop being as rude if they ended up sticking together for a while.

[Leslie]

Ophelia shook her head. "I don't watch much or play games really" She said, which still left the question of why she never read Harry Potter. "And when I read, I usually read lesser known books" She added, so the question of why she hadn't read Harry Potter didn't come up. She nodded, looking at the ground. "I never remember being anywhere other then the the orphanage, so I guess it's not that bad. Reading is about all I do to entertain myself, and other activities they had with fellow orphans, like board games, outside activities, and that sort. I guess you could say I'm old school in the sense I enjoy board games, outside activities, and reading more then watching movies or shows, or playing video games" She said, shrugging as if she didn't really care if she was considered old school or not. "The worst part about being an orphan is the questions of why I am an orphan, who my parents were, why they would give me up, if they gave me up or just completely abandoned me altogether, and so on. Honestly, it can get really annoying. The questions start grating on you after a while. But overall being an orphan doesn't bother me THAT much. If you ever see me feeling down though, just expect it's something related to that" She said, sighing. Apparently she was perfectly okay with talking about it, at least for the most part. "And thankfully my orphanage wasn't one of those ones from the old days, or possibly even modern days, that's considered to be all questionable and whatnot. You know, like beating the orphans for bad behavior or no reason at all. I wouldn't say mine was fantastic. There were some questionable employee's there multiple times throughout my life. One recent one in particular comes to mind that unsettled me every time he came into the room" She said, visibly shivering like the thought of him creeped her out. "But there was this one girl that worked there, probably between 25 and 30, who was so sweet and caring to everyone, that I miss the most" She said, smiling at the memories of her. She wasn't even sure she could say the same about herself, that she was ever really sweet and caring to everyone. There were actually countless memories that she could think of that she had been rude to her, and other employee's, that always made her down for the way she behaved. It kind of seemed like she was unsure of herself a lot of the time, not sure how stable she really was. It also seemed like Ophelia enjoyed telling stories, based on how she acted while telling the stories of her orphanage.

Serephina, simply listening to Ophelia's long story and frowning at times, responded to Chase. "That's it! I was thinking it was Spy Kids 2, but I wasn't sure" She said, smiling brightly. She chuckled at Chelsea, and said jokingly "I'm not sure I want to be your friend anymore. You worry me".

Both Ophelia and Serephina smiled, but Serephina especially....which isn't really a surprise. "Thanks!" Serephina exclaimed happily. "I think we all have unusual names, really. I don't hear any of our names that often" She continued.

"I more meant being in a different atmosphere then it's used to might affect it, but I dunno. I'm not exactly an expert on crabs" Serephina said with a giggle. She just smiled at Chelsea saying Chase was a nerd, and pretty much replied with "That's so cool!", apparently not caring at all if he was a nerd. Ophelia seemed to be more interested at the mention of "Board games", then thought of something. "Do any of you play Dungeons and Dragons? I loved playing that with some of the people at the orphanage" She said, looking thoughtful. "I did a little" Serephina responded. "I need to play more" She said, smiling, and thinking it would be cool for all of them to play a game like that together....despite the fact they just met each other.

Ophelia seemed to be trying her hardest to remain calm while they both seemed to continue to be annoyed with her as she continued speaking. "Maybe I would, I don't know" She said in response to Chelsea, as calmly as possible. Then, she let out a sigh that sounded kind of like a frustrated sigh, and said, "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to offend anyone. Can we please just move on?", because she wasn't in the mood to argue with people she just met....or argue anyway, and she just wanted to move on from the conversation.

"I guess that's true. Even I've done it at my mother and father a few times, or annoying so-called friends" Serephina said, chuckling. That was about all she said to anything, though, because she was perfectly fine with not arguing anymore like Ophelia wanted, and since the insulting wasn't directed at her, it made it even easier to just let it go. Not that it was very hard for her to not argue anyway. She wasn't exactly one that was much for arguing.

Then, suddenly, she came from looking thoughtful, to excitedly asking a question. "Hey, anyone want to take a spin in my Chrysler Crossfire later?!" She asked excitedly. Not all the time she was overly hyper. She wasn't like Elisa or Adair in Celestial Clash. Only every now and then did she exclaim excitedly about things. "It's only got one other seat, so only one person could go at a time" She said more calmly then when she first asked the question. Ophelia shrugged. "I've never really been a fan of cars" She said, which got a strange look from Serephina, but she didn't say anything, and just looked over to Chelsea, Dr. Butler, and Chase.

Helga walked along toward the warehouse she felt such a pull coming from, it was calling to her in a way she couldn't quite explain. She drew her Lugar pistol, knowing the government of this era had instituted the final solution against her people, but she did respect that. After all, she did respect ethnic genocide, which was core to her Nazi belief system, like her Germanness. Her hand trembled a little gripping her pistol and she softly sang to herself "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Über alles in der Welt, Wenn es stets zu." calming herself slightly as she took another step toward the door. She put her ear against the door before opening it, she heard good natured sounds, not quietness like you would expect from a trap. She slowly turned the door handle and shoved her body weight through, she pointed her Lugar around before realising that these were no government killers, and lowering her pistol to point at the ground. She looked at them with her beautiful blue eyes as she said "Oh you are ze altered ones, ja? I am Helga, you speak ze English ja?" her strange accent and way of speaking clearly set her apart as German, but her uniform and metals showed her as a clear Nazi. Though one might assume Neo Nazi, based on the age of her and the year, if one knew Nazis well then you would know she wore a perfect SS uniform, with metals placed in the precise position, and that that only came from being in the real military. Her thoughts raced, thinking about what cover she could take and what person to shoot first if these were military, or worse, Jews. She felt disgusted just thinking the word Jew, to her a Jewish person was a creature so vile that it deserved neither pity nor mercy. She had gladly beaten rabbis to death as their fake god did nothing to stop her sadistic torment, and she had watched her men lock the doors to one of their holy places, and burn them inside with a flame thrower. She wasn't entirely to blame for this idea however, she had been told these things sense she was born, and believed in the Fatherland, Fürer, and Racial purity.

"People have their own tastes," Chelsea said with a shrug when Ophelia said that she never really watched or played much. Chase listened to what she said about the orphanage and whatnot. "What's oldschool about liking board games?" He asked, tilting his head. "You assume your parents left," He said, before frowning a bit and saying,"Orphans typically are orphans because their parents died. Doesn't mean it's the case with you, but they could have been unwilling separated from you, or you got lost somehow, who knows." He kind of just listened to everything else she said in silence.

Chase didn't really respond to Serephina saying that it was spy kids 2, other then to give a slight nod. "If you're my friend, you won't have to worry," Chelsea said jokingly, smiling at Serephina. No one else really said anything in response to the whole thing about names, either.

"Didn't seem to," Chase replied simply with a shrug. "I mean, obviously it's still alive. Either that or it's a zombie crab," He paused, before saying,"Maybe I'll turn into a zombie now that it pinched me," Jokingly. He looked at Ophelia in a joking 'are you serious?' kind of way when she asked of they played an Dungeons and Dragons. "Duh," He said jokingly. Chelsea shook her head,"I tried to play it once. I never got very far. My dad was to busy to often to be a dungeon master."

"It's always easy for the offender to just 'move on' after offending someone," Chase said, still seeming annoyed, but he did seem willing to move on, for the most part. "And for future reference, if you don't want to offend people, perhaps you should try thinking before you speak," He said.

No one said anything in response to Serephina talking about blowing off steam, since there wasn't really anything to say. When she asked if anyone wanted to ride in her Chrysler Crossfire later, Chase said,"No thanks, I'm more of a bike person," Strangely enough, since he didn't seem like the type that would like bikes. "Maybe later, we'll see. For now I want to see what's going on here." Dr.Bulter shook his head,"No thanks. I'm not much of a car person. My Camry suits me well." He was basically saying he preferred basic cars.

Chase was the first to notice the new person coming over, and he kind of just stared a bit. It wasn't like, super obvious staring, though. Chelsea jumped when she heard another voice, and turned to look at her, and was slightly taken aback by her beauty, like Chase. "Hmm....Wha? Altered ones? You mean people with powers? I'd hardly say we're 'altered'. No one altered us, it's just natural." Chase blinked slightly, then said,"Unless pollution or radiation causes it," though he seemed to be joking. Dr.Butler just stayed quiet.

As soon as Helga was there, they all heard a voice. It was a soft, soothing, mystical, female voice that they all heard in their head.
I have brought you all here because none of us have hope of defying the government alone. Most of you have left your homes and lives behind because of your powers, and live on the run. It is for this reason I have chosen you to come here. The others I choose because I believe they, too, could use help, whether they know it or not. I am The Siren, and I have called you here to give you a home and shelter, safe from the Government, in hopes that one day you will join me to fight them. If you so choose to be a part of this group, to stand up against the government, to have safety, at least for the time being, I will guide your steps to this safe place. The chances are high that one day you will have to move again, and if that day comes, I will guide you onward. If you choose this, come, follow my power.
With that the pulling feeling faded, before they felt like they were being drawn somewhere else. Chase and Chelsea looked at each other, then at everyone else. "I think we're going," Chase said, and Chelsea nodded,"You guys coming?" She asked everyone else. Dr.Butler nodded, mystified by this mysterious Siren.

Ophelia shrugged. "I dunno. People at the orphanage kept saying I was old school because I don't really watch shows or play video games, and instead play with board games and stuff like that" She said. She shrugged again. "I guess you could be right. I would think I would of heard about that later, though...." She said, frowning. She noticed everyone seemed quiet throughout most of her story, which was understandable to her, and she just moved on.

Ophelia actually laughed a little, which seemed to even surprise her. She knew she wasn't really someone who was happy all the time, or laughed that much. It didn't bother her, though. She was just different then some people. There was nothing wrong with that to her. Clearly Serephina was the opposite of that. She didn't say anything, though. She did start smiling right afterwards too, at what he said. "I got pretty good at that game" She said. To Chelsea, she just nodded.

Ophelia let out another frustrated sigh. Instead of continuing this, like he seemed to be trying to do, couldn't he just drop it entirely. Yeah, she agreed that it was easy for the offender to just move on, but she felt he could of just dropped it instead of saying something. To the last part, she just nodded. She felt that this Chase guy was an argumentative person, but she didn't really know him that well to say that for a fact.

Serephina nodded to what Chase said. She liked bikes too, and actually wanted to ride one again, but she preferred cars. Probably because they were safer, and she just liked them more. "I wouldn't mind riding on a bike again sometime" She said to Chase. Then, to Chelsea, she smiled. "Okay. It's not the most exciting fancy car or anything, but it is enjoyable to drive and ride in" She said. To Dr. Butler she just nodded, even though she personally found the Camry pretty boring. Though, the more modernized versions were alright, she guessed. She knew it was just her need for speed upbringing talking, and that her standard of cool cars was rather high. She daydreamed about driving a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or something like that, then shook her head, knowing that the chances of that ever happening being near impossible.

Serephina and Ophelia both turned to face the newcomer, and Ophelia kind of shook her head at both Chase and Chelsea's responses. Serephina didn't seem to have any particular response either way to her, other then to address what she said. "Yes, we speak English" She said, then addressed the fact she looked like a Nazi. "Neo Nazi?" She asked, then raised an eyebrow for a moment. "Looks pretty strikingly accurate. Good job on the costume. Might I ask why you wear it everywhere, though?" She asked, apparently thinking she was in costume. Ophelia didn't say anything.

Both Ophelia and Serephina seemed confused by the sudden voices in their heads, but Ophelia seemed to be the most alarmed by it. After listening to the entire speech from this anonymous person, Serephina jokingly said, "Well that was rather dramatically said. I feel like I just stepped into some weird place in a video game or movie". Ophelia seemed uncertain. Serephina instantly said "Yup, I'm definitely coming", but Ophelia said, "I don't know.....I guess I could give it a try.....". It seemed like she was someone who wasn't a huge fan of being a part of big groups all the time, but she was willing to give this place a try. She felt like she would be better off alone, then with a group, for a few reasons, but decided that she could try a group for a while. If she felt uncomfortable by it, she would just leave, to go on her own again. "I hope I can drive there! I'd hate to leave my car behind" Serephina said.

[Alan Haskayne]

Helga looked at the people talking to her as if she was superior, that wasn't at all what she was thinking, but it was just natural for her to to look at non Aryans like that, it was just how she was raised. She nodded to Chelsea and said "Ja, Ja, English, not mine first tongue Ja? You understand, Ja?" she understood not being altered, but couldn't overly think of a better term. She looked at Chase and shrugged "That is unfortunate, reminds me of Berlin, with ze factories, Ja?"she didn't seem to understand that it was a joke. She turned toward Serephina, snapping her heels together and said "Nien, I am Oberführer Helga Von Richthoften, of the Totenkopf division of the Schutzstaffel. I take pride in my uniform, I understand zat most military units do it." she pulled out her Lugar "Ze Neo Nazi does not own this Ja? It is very rare." she offered the gun to her to inspect. She then indicated one of her metals "I doubt ze Neo Nazi has zis, I got it for murdering ze Jews. 17 of zem."

When a voice spoke to them she turned, and slowly followed the group, and gave a hardly slap on the back to Ophelia and said "Don't worry, I will shoot any government members or Jews that we encounter. Oh, unt if you run, we would have to shoot you, because you know were we are. Nothing personal, I would expect the same to be done to me." she looked at Serephina and grinned "You have a car?! That is amazing! I have a car too, but not with me. Cars are amazing, so fancy. With ze leather, unt ze headlights. It is even better than horses."

[Edenecho]

"Maybe you could ride mine sometime," Chase said, kicking over his backpack before pulling a motorcycle out of it. Or, it looked like he pulled the motorcycle out of it. He kicked open the stand, and let the bike lean on it. "Just if you ever do, be careful with it," He clearly really liked his motercycle. Which was probably kind of unexpected, based how how he acted. He just didn't really seem like the type that would get all protective of a vehicle.

"We just call people with powers Superhumans," Chelsea said, to give Helga something else to call them if she wanted. "My name is Chelsea, by the way, but you can call me Chance," She said, for like the third time today," And this is Chase," She added, gesturing to Chase. Chase kind of blinked at her, then said,"That was a joke." He kind of stared a bit when she said her name, hoping she would be fine with just being called 'Helga', 'cause he had no clue how to say the rest of it, really. "Totenkopf, makes me think of a movie..." He said, though he didn't seem to be talking to anyone. He kind of stared at her, again, when she spoke of murdering Jews, but he kept his mouth shut. He also wasn't quite sure what to think of her being a Nazi....

Helga, refrain from violence beyond what is necessary. Though you may see killing Jews as necessary, it is not, for the government is our priority, you must focus your hate and distaste on them, not the Jews, The Siren's voice rang out in their heads again,You are all under my protection, even from each other. No harm will come to any of you from another Superhuman unless you try to harm another under my protection, It was clear that she was telling Helga that trying to shoot Ophelia probably wouldn't end well for her. Chase kind of raised an eyebrow at Helga, then kind of asked,"Time traveler, I take it?" Since she seemed so interested in a car....Like having one was rare. He then turned to his backpack and reached in it, pulling out two leather jackets, one for a boy and one for a girl, and two helmets. One jacket and helmet he tossed to Chelsea, then he put on the jacket and helmet that he had left. His jacket was black and sleek. His helmet was similar, black with silver on it. Usually he'd wear more of a full motorbike outfit, but there wasn't exactly anywhere to change, or any time right now. Chelsea put on her black leather jacket and black helmet, before waiting for Chase. "Don't worry, I'm sure you will have to use it. The pull feels kind of a ways away," Chase said to Serephina, before starting to push his bike to the nearest road. After putting his backpack on obviously. Chelsea followed. "Whoever ends up not having a ride can ride with me," Dr.Butler said, referring to how both Chase's bike and Serephina's car only held two people, meaning that either Helga or Ophelia would be left out. He headed to the road, which his car was parked alongside. Once they were at the road, Chase got on his bike, and Chelsea hopped on behind him. Chase pulled a pair of gloves out of what appeared to be air and put them on, before waiting for everyone else to be ready. Chelsea made her hair short and spiky, so it wouldn't get blown by the wind so much. Dr.butler waited for everyone else to be ready before getting in his car, so he could see who would end up with him.
