Okay. Okay, maybe this girl needs a time-out. Or… a double time out, you guess.

You fumble through your jacket for that tranquilizer gun thingy, drawing it and edging in as close as you can get before the heat becomes intolerable. You’ve got a pretty much point blank shot, so it would’ve been impossible (or highly embarrassing) to miss, even with one of these awkward things, and the devices hisses as it puts a dart straight into her shoulder.

For a moment you freeze, unsure of exactly what’s about to happen. Then the heat climaxes without warning, white light filling your eyes and ozone clogging your nose. You hit the ground before you know you’re off the floor, and behind your eyelids, the light begins to fade.

You can smell the sweet, acidic tang of crisped metal and the musk of burning leather.

You open your eyes. She’s not glowing anymore, but she seems to have blackened about six feet of alleyway and turned a nearby land rover into a bonfire. Occasional strands of static dart to and fro across her arms.

Well, you can’t exactly leave her now that you know she’s a walking health hazard. If the last few days are any indication, those are your favourite kinds of people!

You scoop her up, and immediately flinch in pain – static shock. One of the little arcs running along her skin licks out at you, lashing across your cheek. Ow, shit, that hurts. In fact, a lot hurts. Your hands spasm momentarily and are left with an icky, tingly sensation, like you’ve had them on a radiator for a little too long.

The current seems to fade after the initial jolt, though, and you skedaddle out of there, managing a pretty good pace. Of course, you have no idea where the hell you’re going. At the time it didn’t seem particularly important.

In the distance, multiple sirens begin to coalescence into a single wail.

Best to put some distance between here and you.

You try to mostly keep to the back-alleys and side roads, but your mutant powers didn’t come packaged with incredible parkour aptitude, so you occasionally find yourself forced to try looking inconspicuous while moving through NY’s midday crowds – an endeavour not helped much by the fact your new ‘friend’ seems intent on giving you small but regular electric shocks.

Your ears let you keep a wide berth around most of those sirens in the distance, but every moment you spend exposed feels like eyes are boring into your back. Eventually you turn into a back alley and find yourself weighing your options.

You could hang out on a roof for a while – plenty of fire escapes in NY. You know there’s an old chapel nearby, too, and a few extra asses on pews probably wouldn’t raise any eyebrows. For a moment you even contemplate the Bugle. There’s an entire storage room near the presses that sees little else but backissues and dust.

The Lord loves all mankind, right? Even filthy muties? Welp, it’s about time he proved it to you, so he can watch your back for an hour or two.

You make your way to the chapel. It’s a squat, ugly little building, a pointed strip of stark white jammed between the greys and browns of NY. It’s warm inside, though, and dark – pretty much just how you like it. It’s not like the old ones you remember at home, all cold stone and high, stained windows; this is one of those newish chapels. The walls are plaster and the only stained glass is a huge, prismatic circle above the altar, serving to cast a halo of cold, bright light over the head of the tall, silent J-man standing watch just beneath it.

There’s only three other occupants that you can see. You sidle in between the ranks of pews and sit, setting the girl down alongside you. And… you sit, and sit, and sit, occasionally feeling a slight electrical pulse stand your hairs on end and send little involuntary shivers down your arm.

The warmth seeps under your coat, pooling between layers of fabric, slowly but surely drinking the winter chill out of you. Soon enough you’re feeling pretty comfortable, a pleasant drowsiness folding over you. In the half-light of the chapel, you find yourself drifting inwards, memories roiling through your senses like so much mist. For a moment the walls are no longer plaster, but old stone, and your head rests sleepily on a soft, warm shoulder. Your sister’s voice flickers in and out amidst the choir. Your mother holds your hand. You’re safe.

You look up at the light bleeding in through the reds and greens and in-betweens of the single stained window, and you think about how much – just how much – you’d give for things to be different. You would do anything – anything – if, by some chance, He really was looking back through that glass at you, and he could make things different. Please, man.

You shuffle a little to stop yourself from falling asleep, and check Kevin’s friend. She’s still out like a (occasionally flickering) lamp, but the graze on her shoulder seems okay, and she’s not shivering or anything. You notice that the needle you put in her neck – or part of it, anyway; you think most of exploded when she went all Electro – is still lodged in there, and you quietly drag it out and drop it at your feet.

“…It’s not an exact science…” A hushed voice near the entrance catches your attention, and you tune in momentarily. “The pheromone trail is weak, and has a high dispersion rate, so”–

“I don’t care.” This one’s female, and it has a hiss to it. A familiar smell begins to tickle the underside of your nostrils… “I want it now. You’ve wasted enough time already. Can you, or can you not track it?”

Okay, this is interesting. You cast a surreptitious glance in the conversation’s direction. The first voice belongs to a short, wiry fellow in his mid-thirties. His companion, who is tapping her foot lightly against the floor, is a tall and, by the looks of it, pretty well stacked woman with a tanned complexion and dark hair. Her brow is set in an annoyed scowl. They’re both wearing nondescript as fuck suits, though she has a trenchcoat over hers.

Man, what is that smell?

“Better than you can.” Says the dude, somewhat haltingly, trying to his best to stare her down. “Now pay attention. Two mutants reported to police and a positive signature? This the best lead we’ve had in days.”

Shit shit.

Shit. Not fucking good.

You don’t know who these guys are, but you don’t care. If they’re tracking mutants, you do not want to get acquainted. That vague, fuguelike feeling drops over you and you drop out of sight, watching them as they start moving down the aisle.

The short one seems to be checking something on his phone every once in a while, whereas the woman just sort of gazes up and down the building, watching for… something. Eventually the dude motions his companion over and they turn towards your set of pews. Every goddamn hair on your body stands up on end and as they draw closer, and closer, until the woman is standing not even five feet from you.

Man, she has really broad shoulders for a chick.

“It’s pooled here. Somewhat. I mean, it’s hard to tell how fresh it is.”

The woman glances dismissively at Kevin’s neon-haired friend, but the obvious teen runaway doesn’t hold her interest for long. Instead, she reaches down toward you, her finger stretching… grasping… at something between your feet. She picks up that discarded dart thingy and holds it up to the light. A tiny smile tugs at her lips.

“One of our tranquilizers.” She states, a victorious tone edging into her voice.

“It WAS reported that one of our agents lost his weapon.” Notes the male.

She seems to ignore him, instead making her way to the bottom of the aisle, by the altar.

“Hey!” She calls out. “Father? Priest guy? Anyone in here?”

>[X] Stay.

Okay, you know who these people are now. Or, you have a vague idea. An idea that gives you real unpleasant turnings in your stomach.

You sit tight as the dude follows her to the altar. That little itch in your spine tells you something’s about to turn sour, and you realize, quite abruptly, that it’s not your little itch at all. You’re hearing the internal machinery of that woman’s body winding tight – heart rate elevating, breath quickening, the twitch in her foot tapping faster and harder at the floor. Man, your ears are getting really good at this.

Eventually, a man in his forties shuffles out from somewhere off to the side of the altar, the broad white of a clerical collar around his neck and… what appears to be a cup of tea (Earl Grey, hint of lemon, according to your nose) in his hands.

“I’m here, my child.” The woman snorts visibly. You really really don’t like the way this is headed. “What is it exactly that you want?”

“Yeah, this places takes in homeless kids, right?” She practically interrupts him. “You taken in a girl, recently? Dark hair, bout yea tall, yea wide” – she traces out a small outline with her hands – “wears gothy little tramp stuff?”

“No…” The priest regards her with a concerned face. “We don’t generally house the unfortunate. You might want to try”–

She catches his hand. It’s fast – really fast. By the time his tea hits the floor she’s already shoved him up against the altar.

“Don’t lie to me!” Her voice is all barbed now, and has lost a little of its composure. “Never lie to me!”

“Kimura…” Her companion shifts nervously in his suit, eyes boggling a little. “This isn’t very discreet…”

Okay, time to step in. This bitch needs to calm down.

You edge out of your seat and stride a little close. They’re way too busy to notice the vague displacement you etch in the air, and you get a shot off at about ten foot.

The dart sails through the air… and bounces straight off the back of her head. It doesn’t even break the skin – in fact, you’re pretty sure IT broke on contact with her skin.

Oh, shit.

She whips about, momentarily loosening her grip on Father Unlucky. Her eyes narrow for a moment, before focusing on the dart-thing-gun that – to her – is hovering in the middle of the aisle, apparently independent of any shooter. Her smile splits into a straight-up grin.

“Hah, yeah, last report said there could be a chameleon involved.” She lets the priest fall to the ground – after wrenching hard on his wrist, coaxing out a sickening crunch. This woman… might be kind of sick. “You know, if you’ve put your hands anywhere near my little girl, I might have to cut something off. Just saying.”

Without warning, she dashes at you (or, rather, at your gun).

Actually, our only real chances of getting Surge out of this alive and uncaptured are 1) blue hair waking up and freaking out or 2) emptying the rest of the tranquil gun directly into Kimura's mouth and hoping at least three darts break open on her throat (pretty sure that would be up enough of a dose to overcome her resistance).

Holy shit, she’s fast. Not superhuman fast – you think – but still really damn quick.

You try to throw yourself aside but her hand’s around your wrist before you can get away. She squeezes – hard – and you suppress a yelp, dropping your weapon. Her grin – her seriously really fucking delighted what a wonderful tea party this is grin – is close now. She’s enjoying this immensely. Her heart rate just spiked, and while you can’t smell any perspiration on her (like, seriously, none at all; you’re pretty sure she doesn’t sweat), you’re close enough to feel her body heat bunching up in all the right places. You’re not sure, but you think she might even be a little… turned on?

“You smell lousy. Is my little girl’s little helper a hobo?” If her grin gets any wider it might split her face open. She makes to grab at your coat with her other arm. “I think they are! Let’s find out if you’re a boy hobo or a girl hobo…”

“Hah! Boy hobo it is! Now, are you gonna be a good b”– She yelps in shock as you ram the knuckles of your forefinger and thumb straight up in her manic bitch eyes. It feels like trying to knuckle reinforced glass, but you clearly have some effect. Her grip loosens for a second and you wrench yourself free, while ‘Kimura’ recoils, nursing her eyes with one hand.

“That felt super weird…”

You glance beyond her for a second. Her companion appears to be loading one of those dart-gun thingys, but his hands are shaking and it’s not helping.

wasted 2 rolls, actually.

>>27284419
Will do since i wasted 2 20s.

>>27284389
but crusty changed it so that its non fatal now and its completly harmless at rank 2 and up and its not redundant whatsoever. there is a huge differance between being invisible and being untouchable which would have helped us bigtime in this situation and if we ever get boxed in or cornered for example

>>27284389
Plus, no one really wants a second Nightcrawler
>>27284383
Could we try to extend our camofield just a bit more to encompass her momentarilly, or do we need the next rank in Invisibility to even try?

>>27284464
Or we could have taser hands, which are much cooler than phasing.

Quick, what would throwing the entire bag of jack in Kimi's face do?

>>27284470
night crawler teliports and we need rank 4 invis to make other people invisible. its not a field its literaly us changing colour realy fucking well, also mutant deus ex powers to make it work

>>27284470
that's either the 4 or 5 rank of stealth, i believe rank 3 is objects you touch.

>>27284493

Yeah, instead, she's just invulnerable.

>>27284533
it depends since taser hands can be hugely useful on electronic devices.

>>27284568
I meant I'm not sure if she counts as a mutant.

Before I post:

Normally Jack would give you more control, yeah. Your abilities would basically level up for a short period, be easier to activate, etc. There's a chance of rampancy, however, which for you would be really painful due to to your senses. And possibly Tetsuo-ish due to healing factor.

You can increase the likelihood of a rampancy by downing loads of pills at once.

>>27284595
Correct, she's an enhanced human.

Jack is just a feelgood drug to her. I'ts basically ecstacy.

>>27284606

You bolt. You need to get your ass outta here.

You race down the pews and scoop up Kevin’s friend, a tiny electrical jolt actually putting a little more spring in your step.

“A-ha!” Still rubbing her eyes with one hand, the psycho bitch dashes at you and swipes. You nearly jump out of your goddamn skin, but she misses, just about brushing your coat and stumbling straight past your trajectory, into the pews. “I’m coming to get you, darling! I’m gonna sew Laura’s goddamn mouth shut with your filthy hobo tongue in it! I’m”–

As she pulls herself up to take pursuit her partner practically stumbles into her.

“Kimura, this is getting too public. We can’t”–

“Shut up! Shut your little troll mouth! Shut”–

“We can’t risk publicity, Kimura!”

You hear a tiny click, like a radio switching on.

“…Blows from an unseen assailant have felled my partner.”

“What!? No they”–

Bam. You’re almost out the door, but you practically feel her dislocate his jaw. He hits the ground and you hear her come down on him, driving her fist into his face over and over and over. You get almost a full street away and the red on her hands is still in your nose.

You keep running.

get crazy off your tail maybe buy some soap, she has your scent you need to wash

>>27284714
Sure.

Level 1: Like having a taser in your palm. Won't short out most electronics but will fuck with people. Can be conducted.

Level 2: Visible electrical arcs. Much stronger current, enough to cause people to smoke a bit after some touching. Will short out unarmoured electronics.

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

Level 4: Will melt steel when concenrated. You might as well be touching someone with a thunderbolt.

Level 5: Develops near-touch range.

she is an enhanced human who can track and attack X-23, i doubt it that her senses aren't enhanced,

>>27284973
breaking an electronic lock doesnt open it

>>27284946
could you control the voltage and this skill seems pretty useful.

>>27285025
They aren't but we don't know that in character anyways, so we act like she does.

>>27285039
i'm going by the logic that it can damage it enough for you to get through and level 2 of this power actually melt steel.

>>27285039

Electromagnetic locks.

>>27285039
Well, that guarantees you can lock electronic locks permanently behind you, but it's a very niche skill.

>>27284884
getting it to level 5 costs 9 mutie points, getting it to 3 costs 2 and walking through walls costs 1, as oes many other useful powers that would be imediately useful at even rank 1. i serioustly hate this "stick with what we already have" mentality people have going on here

>>27285086
Holding a magnet to these locks probably won't open them. It's not that simple
>>27285075
>Level 4: Will melt steel

>>27285115
Buying a new power is sticking with what we have?

>>27285046
Yes, you could control the voltage.

Also, some of you guys have mentioned the option of buying soap/washing. If you want, I could include breaking into someone's house and using their shower as part of your 'loop around town' option.

It comes with added risk, of course, but it's free and thorough.

>>27285115
i'm okay with branching out, i'm the guy saying how much better electric hands are than phasing.It might just be preferences for people.
>>27285130
My bad i mixed them up.

>>27285130
Disabling the power shuts down most electromagnetic locking devices.
>>27285115
Electro hands is more useful in the short term, would phasing help you fight Kimura? Fuck no.

>>27285148
...Sure, why not.

>>27285148
Fuck it its better them then the psycho bitch.

>>27285075
i imagine breaking an electronic lock just turns off the keypad and keeps the locks in place.

>>27285086
and everyother electronic locking device becomes the bane of our existance, and machanical locks.

>>27285105
but we would need to be on the other side of that door somehow for that to be a thing that happens.

>>27285133
upgrading a power isnt the same as getting a new one you cockmongler

>>27285216
>but we would need to be on the other side of that door somehow for that to be a thing that happens.
not really, you can do it if the door is metal, hell you can set a trap with the door know if we are willing to risk it.

>>27285148
Better idea, rub gasoline all over yourself and clothes.
Try finding an exact source of gasoline smell in a city filled with motorvehicles.

>>27285216
Only If we lose control while holding said electronic device, not that we use any anyways, being a fucking hobo.

>>27285170
i would prefer phasing to electro hands but its better than fucking upgrading our sense of smell again

We don't have electrohands yet knobgobbler.

>>27285275
Shit, that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

>>27285289
it isn't just smell its our other senses as well, as of now we can see in the dark if we upgraded it again we have hunter vision if my memory is right.

>>27285176
did we need electro hands to fight her? fuck no. could we have use phase to not have been grapled? fuck yes.

>>27285337
could we have used our cloaking to stay out of it instead of trying to intervene?
Yes we could have and we wouldn't have gotten into this mess.Hell we got away and thanks to its help.

>>27285314
Not if we use diesel.
You can't set diesel on fire without pressurizing it.

>>27285337
additionally, if we improved invisibility to cover more than just us, we probably could stealth away and avoid further confrontations.

>>27285314
>>27285422
Stealing gas/diesel is probably more risky than breaking into a house.

>[X] Fucking... loop de loop, barrel roll, everything man
>[X] It got two go-aheads so including the breaking & entering

You just run.

You’re heading home at first, but then you remember all that stuff about… pheromones or whatever. That guy had something that tracked them, or tracked you, or something. And ‘Kimura’ didn’t seem so shabby in the nasal department either.

You just… spangle off, like light over water. You don’t even know where you’re going or what you’re doing. For a moment you consider buying some soap or something, but where the hell would you wash? Take a dip in the parks this time of year and you’re just inviting a very cold, very uncomfortable death. Hell, walk around wet and you’re guaranteeing frostbite.

You run through alleys. You push through crowds and when you can you loop around and take another route. When you can’t run anymore you jog. And when you can’t do that anymore, you find a convenient fire escape to scale, and start peering through windows. Gotta get clean. Eventually you find a place that looks just about empty and put your ear to the glass.

we could have jsut left r just NOT HAVE SHOT HER. it had nothing to do with how good out invisibility is. what you just said is irelivent

>>27285632
It's also toxic and noxious. Pass on that. Strong cologne will do the same thing without killing brain cells. Besides, that only covers scent, not pheromones, which is how she tracks.

>>27285585
Eh everyone has thier preferences, but phasing is low on my list of things to get.
>>27285623

We don't know if she can track, also anything that covers smell with fuck with pheromones as well.

I'm mentioned nothing about surviving the encounter due to invisibility.

I'm merely pointing out that future encounters could also be avoided if we cast invisibility on our allies.

>>27285691
That's actually a better idea.
Thorough cleaning and splash cologne on ourselves and our clothes.

I just thought gasoline, because it was easy to acquire.

>>27285729
Pheromones and scent are like oranges and tomatoes.

Still fruit, still kind of related...but very distantly and not really. Scent is an amalgam of a thousand different things. Pheromones are the specific generations of the body. Two different things dog.

>>27285487
>GREAT SUCCESS!

Seems like no one’s in.

As quietly as possible, you ease up the window, awkwardly manoeuvring yourself and your prone companion over the ledge. It’s a small place, so finding the bathroom isn’t hard. You track wet bootprints fucking everywhere, but you’re too scared to think about it until it’s way too late.

Propping Kevin’s friend up against the bathroom door (which elicits a short, bright romance of electricity between her hair and the doorknob), you strip down and get in the shower – your first shower in what’s gotta be four whole months. The water and the soap washes away some of the tension in your shoulders, but still, you pretty much shake your way through the whole thing, unable to get truly comfortable.

That woman killed that guy. You sensed it. You could smell just how much blood and… stuff her hands were delving through. Yesterday, you had no idea how fresh human brain smelled. Now you do.

You scrub down your clothes and get out. Luckily, the place has a tumble drier, so you shove them in there for a while, and somewhat shamefully swipe a fresh item of underwear to wear around (being naked in someone else’s house feels super weird). You’ve been there just over an hour when you drag your clothes out and throw them back on.

You get ready to leave, but something catches your eye. Sitting on a mantelpiece just above the TV, there’s a seriously overstuffed swear jar positively bristling with dollar notes. Temptation gnaws at you.

True dat and basic physical abilities are great for self defense also when the time calls for it.

Utility is all well and good, but if we invest in physical abilities, we will be far less vulnerable.

>>27285894
Remember, x-ray vision will let us not only see enemies throughh walls but also show us how they are armed. Including such concealed weapons and retractable claws hidden in their wrists. It's not like we're going to see anything as low density as flesh under clothing with x-ray eyes.

You ignore it. You’ve spoiled their towels on hobo dick and pits, and furthermore, the man of the house is down one set of boxers. You’ve taken enough.

You pick up Kev’s friend (man, you really should have made a point of remembering her name. Your internal monologue is starting to get kinda awkward) and head out the window, shutting it carefully on the way out. As it closes, you hear the front door open, and pick up the pace. Nothing you can do about the tracks, but there’s likely a million guys with your shitty boots in the city.

You climb down to the street below and contemplate... things in general.

You plod home.

Technically, today was a win. You saved Kevin’s friend. You didn’t get fried, you didn’t get shot, and you didn’t get punched till you brain squeezes its way outta your skull. Those are all very good things. But still, you feel defeated somehow. You knew that Laura was complicated, but you’re not sure that, until now, you understood just how complicated. The sickening thud of Kimura’s fist against that guy’s head echoes like a primal drumbeat in the back of your skull. Crunch, crunch, crunch…

It takes you an hour and a half to get back, on account of being slightly lost. It’s three-thirty – not too long till Laura’s supposed to head out. You trudge up the stairs to your ruined little abode and head in.

Laura perks up on the sofa, sniffing the air. Kevin is sitting on the floor, cross-legged and fiddling with these little bits of metal wire he must’ve picked up somewhere, making sculptures or something. Huh.

“Noriko!” Ah, that was it. “You found her!”

“Yep.” You set her down on the mattress. “She’s been doped. Watch her, yeah? Make sure she doesn’t choke or something.”

He nods. Laura fixes you with her near-unblinking stare.

“You smell much better.”

Technically your nightvision is really awesome low light vision.

“I’m gonna go get food. Laura, you wanna come with?”

She stares again, but nods. You two make your way out. On the way down the stairs, Laura looks up at you, and you notice something like a frown on her face. Something like that. She can be real hard to read.

“Are… are you frustrated? Or displeased? You smell agitated somehow.”

“Oh, uh, nah. We have to talk, though.”

“Alright.”
