Asyr quietly moved through the crowd, her intent of blending into the background seemed to be doing well enough until she felt a hand brush against her arm. 

"Asyr, is that you?"

The depowered heroine nearly jumped out of her skin, dropping her bag containing the remains of her tattered costume on the ground. One of her gauntlet's lazily rolled onto the pavement. Asyr looked towards the man who somehow identified her, if she had her powered she'd be able to look through her target. Now she had to rely on instinct...

If this man knew who she was, the armor did nothing to change the idea. Sighing, Asyr quickly picked up the bag. "Please don't make a scene, how did you know.." She asked quietly.

Damon shrugged. [b]"It was a hunch. I mean, it's not like your face is a secret or anything. But... This place is too crowded, I think. Let's head over there, shall we?"[/b] Damon motioned towards a small convinence store that didn't look too busy. Damon wanted to talk to Asyr, but this place was too crowded and who knows what could happen while they're out here. [b]"I'm Damon by the way. Please, come with me."[/b]

Asyr realized the name sounded familiar, but the form was...different. Of course she realized that if Damon wanted to make her follow, she really had no choice in the matter. Nodding as she swung her bag across her shoulder. "I'll follow, please don't hurt anyone..." 

Damon nodded his head and the two walked to the store. It really wasn't all that busy despite the crowd outside. The clerk said hello to them both as they walked in, but he seemed more interested on the movie than Damon and Asyr. Leading her out of the clerk's earshot, Damon turned to Asyr. [b]"I'll get strait to the point. I want to help you Asyr. The world... It's not ready to be without you. And you deserve a better end than this. I want to help you and I have a few ideas of how to help you. But first I want to know what you plan to do to when, or if, you face The End."[/b] Damon knew that he didn't have much time, so he couldn't waste it trying to chat with Asyr. He also didn't really "have" an idea of how to save Asyr, aside from some wild schemes.

Asyr was more then stunned by Damon's offer. He wanted to help her? She thought quietly for a moment as she grabbed a paper cup and began to pour a cup of coffee. Her hands trembled as she tried to keep her composure. He wanted to know what she'd do to deal with The End. 

Asyr thought to herself for a moment, before she would have said she'd stop him. Neutralize whatever technology he owned to ensure he, nor any other would use it to hurt innocent lives. Now, she wanted to smash him into the ground, break him, and ensure that any villain who dared to stand against Lady Asyr knew to fear her. Sighing as she took a small sip of the coffee before replying.

"I want to make sure he never has a chance to hurt another living soul, that if he found a way to kill me. That he may or will do this to another hero, or a city...in a day I will be gone and they're selling tickets to my death!" Realizing she was losing her composure, Asyr took a breath as she looked at the bag containing her costume. "I am supposed to be above that, an icon, something the rest of the world can look towards...to inspire. I will stop him, I will show everyone out there that there's still hope..." She tried to hide the idea she could be saved, that part of her worried that maybe this Damon would take her powers for himself, but she needed to take this chance. The End still needed to be stopped, and if this was her last shot, she needed to try.

Damon shook his head. [b]"That's all well and good Lady Asyr, but [i]how[/i] are you going to stop him? I know why you want to, but when you face him, what will you do? You're powerless."[/b] Damon put his hand to his month and pondered the next course of action. They'd have to find out some way to restore Asyr's powers. Or failing that, find The End and see if they could reverse what he did to her. [b]"Lady Asyr, you're not ready to face down The End. You're going to need help. My help, and anyone else who is willing. But before this happens, I want to know if you can trust me to help you. I know it's a tall order after all things considered, but I promise that I only want to see your best interest in this. Mostly that you don't die. Do you trust me?"[/b]

Lady Asyr thought at the what Damon had said. She'd be putting her life in the hands of someone who in the past had proven less then honorable. "Powers or no powers, I have to fight him. He will hurt a lot of people if I don't show.." At the mention of trusting him, and anyone willing to help her fight against him. 

In all honesty, she'd need any help that came her way. "You have to understand, I am not used to needing help...before today I couldn't be hurt. However, I do understand that times change. The End is something far worse then what I've ever faced before, he did something I never expected. I trust you, please don't make me regret my last day." Giving a hopeful smile, "if I get lucky, maybe I'll see tomorrow." She said, the spark of hope beginning to bolster her courage.

 Damon smiled and gave Asyr a thumb's up. [b]"Of course. I want to make sure you live the rest of your possibly immortal live in relative comfort. Now than, let's get out of here. I think I know a few people who would have reason to help you, but from the looks of things it's about to get real nasty in the neighborhood."[/b]
 
 Not too far away was gunshots and screaming from Noelle's battle against Lunatic Nero and his Dead Masks. This caught the clerk's attention as well, as he put on his jacket and came up to Damon and Asyr. "I have to close up shop, there's a fight coming near! We have to get out of here!" Damon looked to Asyr and nodded in agreement. [b]"Let's go out the back."[/b]
 
 The three people left the store through the back door. The clerk got into his car and drove off without so much as a good bye, but Damon didn't need him anyways. [b]"I know you may want to throw yourself into the next battle Lady Asyr, but time is of the essence. First stop; the Police Head Quarters. With any luck there should be some heroes around there looking to get some awnsers. Are you ready to fly?"[/b] Damon extended his hand out to Asyr.

Asyr looked cautiously at Damon, no vehicle, how were they going to get to the station? As she reached out, a spasm of pain wrackled her body. Asyr fell to her knee's, grasping her sides, her face scrunched up. The experience of what was destroying her was new, it was, if her entire body tried to tear itself apart. Looking weakly up to Damon, she slowly got to her feet. A thin layer of sweat betraying Asyr's attempt to remain stoic.

"It's starting...for what it's worth...if this ends badly. Thank you..." Asyr took Damon's hand, unsure of what to expect.

Damon didn't like that the poison was already taking it's affect on Asyr. But all this did was increase his drive to safe her before it was too late. [b]"Thank me tommorow. Let's go."[/b] Damon grasp Asyr's hand and his body transformed. His flesh colored skin melted away to reveal the pitch black tar-like substance that was his true form. His humanoid shape also melted into something more blob like, which began to slither up Asyr's arm and onto her back. He attached himself like a backpack onto Asyr. [b]"Brace yourself Asyr. We take to the skies!"[/b]

From her back, Damon began a pair of black bat like wings, with small bone protrusions. On his own he began to flap the wings so that Asyr was airborn. It only took a few flaps before they were flying over the store, and than Damon flew them towards the Police HQ. [b]"First we'll need to get a small team together to help you out. Diversity will be nice, but just about anyone who's willing to lend a hand would be immesly useful. Once we get a good sized group, we should find out where The End is. Whatever he did to you, I'm sure there's a way to reverse it. If we find his lair we could find the solution we need to save you."[/b]

Asyr was shocked to see Damon transform, her reaction was withdrawn as he became a pair of wings for her. Within seconds, she became airborne. For one glorious moment, she had flight once more...

"Thank you. There is a number of another heroine we may need to reach out to. If all else fails, give her my armor. If I fall, I want my image, that heroes still remain to help..." Asyr didn't speak any further as she enjoyed the sensation of the wind whipping around her.
