"Punch the target."[color=a0410d]"Excuse me?"[/color] Ryan stood in a weird lab with his robotic friend. On front of him sat a target, with a couple of wires and some screens recording data. Obviously this was a strength test. He turned around to one of the Hunters who followed him in here. [color=a0410d]"Why don't we make it interesting, why don't I hit you?"[/color][color=0076a3]"No, hit the target wise guy."[/color] He just shrugged, turning around and hitting the target. There was a minor dent in it and he smirked. Though as he looked at his wrist his smile disappeared. More of his skin cracked as he hit the target and below he could see more of the red stone that was appearing elsewhere over his body. This was just getting weirder and weirder. [color=a0410d]"Uh..."[/color] Then he felt a tap on his shoulder, [color=00aeef]"Next test."[/color]. He turned around to see a Pacification unit, he almost swore before he saw it lifting a weight. He really didn't want to fight one of those things. [color=a0410d] "So bicep curls, crunches, what is it you want me to do?"[/color][color=00aeef]"Lift it."[/color][color=a0410d]"Yeah, I got that. But [i]how[/i]."[/color] They looked at eachother for a minute. [color=a0410d]"I assume you're giving me a strange look through that helmet."[/color][color=00aeef]"Yes"[/color][color=f26522]"Okay I'll lift it."[/color] A female doctor walked into the room, standing with a datapad taking notes. He just ignored her. Walking up to her he took a grip off it. [color=a0410d]"Okay so I just lift it?"[/color] They all just stared at him. Grabbing it he lifted, his arms straining slightly. Skin cracking the length of his arms, dust falling down the back of his shirt as his skin on his back broke. Though eventually, the beam lifted and he stood with it there in his two hands. Little red tinted skin remained, the majority of his body was red stone. His face had half of his old skin left the other half was the new skin. He offered a lopsided grin. [color=a0410d]"What's next?"[/color] --- There was movement off to her left, she was about to pick up the phone as the boy left with two of his friends. She rolled her eyes, a kids hangout. Give it a year or two and there would only be two of them in those bushes. Which two she didn't know, depended what one was like her and the studious one. She laughed aloud, to several strange looks, when she thought about all the work she put in to get her internship and here she was, a teleporter taking jobs from an unknown individual who was trying to look out for her and other powered people. Yes she didn't know who he was, but he seemed to be trustable. He hadn't steered her wrong so far, and she was closing in on her brother. She just hoped the Watcher, yeah that was a good name, she just hoped the Watcher had this right. Otherwise she'd be in for a bad time. Then it came out of the trees quietly, a Hunter. So far few of them had ever been seen on Mars especially in the middle of the park and while there was an increased presence in the city due to the events unfolding a Hunter working in broad daylight like this was quite odd in a place where there seemed to be no visible threats. Then he trained his weapon on the group of kids, she didn't think. This was it. [color=a36209]"Hey Kid! Look out."[/color] With that she concentrated on the spot on front of the kid that she had just burned into her mind, closing her eyes she felt the air and leaves rush towards her. In a blinding flash of light she appeared between the kids and the Hunter, the air rushing out from the centre where she stood. With the flash the hunter fired a capture net. Electrified netting locked onto her, guided by four small orbs it positioned itself around her before pinning itself into the ground and shocking her. Pinned to the ground and with god knows how many volts passing through her her body began to shake out of her control. She looked at the kid as best she could "G-Get out of h-h-h-here kid." --- [color=f6989d] "Part ones complete, get someone on the inside. Part two will be substantially trickier. Though there is every possibility the kid could run or try and face the Hunter right now. Either choice is accounted for, though only one is proffered-"[/color]
