[b]Max Stross, Los Angeles California[/b]

Max had a mostly uneventful flight to California he was just eager touch down and get to work. He was informed that he would be meeting with none other then Senator Elizabeth Reyes herself.

Although he wasn’t a huge fan of politicians there was something different about her, she had a sense of purpose about her. That and she shared his own views about how how the Evo situation would be dealt with he’d be glad to vote her for President in the upcoming election and hoped others would do the same. He was playing a game on his cell phone as he sat back in is jet and got word over the intercom that the’d be touching down soon.

One of the best features he enjoyed about working for Quantum was the high speed jets and the abundance of room he was provided due to his high rank in the organization. One of his pet peeve’s about air-port was all the annoying security details you had to pass through and the lack of space since he usually preferred to ride in third class to save money. [i] Almost there, and one step closer to figuring out what the fuck these nightmares are about. I almost want to dismiss them as purely fiction but with everything going on I’d be a fool to do that. The girl in my dreams who the fuck is she, I’ve been searching through all the Evo files on Quantum’s database and she dosen’t register. Hell how do I even know she’s an evo honestly do I even know if she’s real. I Can’t allow myself to think like that if there’s any chance she might be connected to a solution to these genetic abominations then I need to pursue it. At least Bennet said he’d handle Disneyland so that frees up all my time to look into the Anderson girl. [/i]

Max was lost in thought conflicted about what lead he should pursue first the tangible one that might lead him to the mass murderer who wiped out the high school or some girl that was linked to his apocalyptic nightmares. 

Max reached for his bottle of water and twisted open the cap before taking a gulp. “Get ready for landing”

Max put his seat belt back on and looked down at his watch it wouldn’t be long now. Soon after he was out of the jet and the rest of his squad he’d brought to accompany him was there as well.  Max was walking over to the vehicle that he recognized the senator was in and opened up the passenger seat getting in while the agents piled into a high powered armored truck behind him. 

“We meet again Senator Reyes. You know there’s quite a few rumors going around that you might be playing both teams and I’m not talking about boys and girls.” Max smirked he had no reason to believe Elizabeth was evo he dismissed all those talks as mere rumors to try to undermine someone who was going to change America politically for the better. Of course she had no way of knowing what he thought at least that’s what he thought. “But now’s not the time to discuss whatever bullshit the democratic party is spewing about you, there just jealous because of how good you’re doing in the poll’s. Listen I got a call from Bennet he’s going to handle the situation in Disneyland I’ve got some more pressing matters to take care of that I want to run by you first.

Max reached for his bag that he’d tossed in the back-seat when he entered Elizabeth’s car and opened it up. He promptly took out his laptop which he flipped open. As the screen flickered to life it showed he was on the Quantum’s database and the person on the screen was a registered evo in LA named Elena Reese.

“So I got wind that we finally got a lead on the high school incident, apparently there’s a girl named Blaire Anderson, problem child, druggie, all sorts of trouble she attended the school and was nearly expelled on numerous occasions. We’ve looked into various other individuals who had a prior connection to the school but here’s what makes her interesting, we’ve found out she had established a friendship with Elena Reese despite the fact they didn’t attend the same college, courtesy of this brat coming from a priveledged family that no doubt threw their money around to keep her ass out of jail. But here’s where it gets to the good part she’s been reported missing since the day the high school was wiped out, and I just learned that the CIA was investigating Anderson for some stolen files related to Building 26.” Max decided to let that sink in he knew he wasn’t much of a talker preferring to take action.

However he wanted to let Elizabeth know the seriousness of the lead as to not disappoint her as he was sure she wanted him to look into the situation in Disneyland because while Bennet was one of their most skilled agents his  adopted daughter was the one who exposed Evo’s and he didn’t entirely trust anyone who use to work for Primatech. “Anyway let me cut to the chase the entire CIA detail that was sent to investigate her vanished the same day as well, and something tells me if she was just some dumb drugged out college bimbo she wouldn’t have been able to wipe out highly trained Government agents.  The CIA of course tried to cover up their fuck up and the unknowingly hampered our investigation since in their effort to cover their own asses they got rid of valuable information including the security footage from Blaire’s apartment. Although that was probably because they planned to take her away still apparently they weren’t prepared enough because there gone. I’m going to investigate Elena Reese and see what I can dig up on this case, I’ll assign two of my best men to keep an eye on her for the rest of my stay in California to see if she makes any suspicious movements.  She’s registered and her record’s clean but I know she has to know something or at least she’ll be able to help us learn something. I’ve alerted Quantum agents across the globe to be on the look-out for Blaire’s car I got her records and managed to figure out the last vehicle she owned in her name. If we manage to locate her vehicle we might be able to locate Anderson if she’s still around that is, I just want you to know Senator that even though there’s been no progress in the past month I won’t let you down I will find out what happened to the school and I will avenge those kids deaths.” Max looked up at Elizabeth staring at her with a serious look hoping she would approve of his new mission and agree to let Noah handle Disneyland.

[b]Angela Petrelli, Petrelli Mansion -   Manhattan, New York [/b]

The Petrelli Mansion was once a place of joy for Angela Petrelli, back when her family was together. Back she was one of the leading members of the Company, back before Claire exposed them all, before Nathan went to the Government to deal with their kind after learning the truth about his father, her husband, and their family. She sat alone in the dim lit dining room looking at a picture of her deceased son Nathan, and some of his other possessions were on the table.

“You would have been proud of the way Claire turned out Nathan, she did the very thing you wanted to do the most. Bring us out into the open I can’t say I agreed very much with you two in that regard but then again it was bound to happen. The Company was falling apart, a former shell of itself long before it came to this. Sometimes I wonder would it really have been all that bad if we’d just went along with what Linderman said and let the city explode…” Angela frowned such talk was a reason why many people thought she was a monster. With the way her life had gone she was beginning to wonder if perhaps they were right, she was a monster the only difference between her and Arthur in the end she speculated was that she actually cared about someone other then herself. Still did that really excuse her actions, plenty of evil people throughout history had significant others and some they cared about.  [i] Perhaps you were right Charles, maybe we should have all strived to be more like Peter…perhaps things wouldn’t ave turned out this way. [/i]

These days Angela was deep in regret Nathan was gone and Peter had run off to keep trying to save the world again even though for every disaster they managed to avert ten more popped up in it’s place even worst then the conflict the managed to dissipate. She sighed and reached for her phone if Peter hadn’t given up there was no reason for her to either. She went to her contacts and pulled up Noah before calling.

“Noah it’s me we need to talk I’m sure your busy….but I’ve had another dream..and not of the pleasant variety either. Something is coming, something bad.  I believe that my fears about Peter have been justified..he’s been missing for days and regardless of his feelings towards me and the mistakes I’ve made ever since we’ve all started working together he’s maintained constant communication. But I know you can do little to help me find my son..that’s not why I’ve called Bennet, I know there’s no one in this world who wishes to hear my woes. The Dream I had..I Saw something that can only be described as horrific. I Saw some sort of satellite going up into space,  a girl was screaming in pain she was strapped into some sort of chair, and then the worst. I saw the entire world, and darkness enveloping the entire globe, and I don’t think it was symbolic either. Because right after the darkness I saw visions of various armies mobilizing around the world, and then I saw us..our people being shot down, killed in the streets, stabbed, beaten, burned, it was brutal, and the kicker right before the darkness  I saw…her..that Senator Elizabeth Reyes smiling standing on the podium giving her speech about how she’d do a wonderful job as President and afterwards…she left to go speak to some man the name Stross was mentioned as well as some others and they pointed to a Calendar and mentioned that the day was coming when the Evo situation would finally be put to rest. That day was November 12, 2012 and in the words of that Stross individual Dark Monday for Evo’s.  “

Angela paused to let this apocalyptic information seep into Noah’s mind to let him realize the gravity of the situation before she spoke again. “Noah..we need to start making preparations for the worst, What I saw was nothing less the the genocide of our people, and that’s less then three months from now, a week after the presidential election. Reyes, and the rest of Quantum is planning something, something awful. Peter vanished the last I heard he said he’d figured out a way to regain his powers, this was shortly before..Sylar departed claiming it was pointless to try to save this world..claiming we were all damned but I figured he just wasn’t handling his “relationship” with Claire finally being over. You know as much as you hated the idea..of that..man…taking a romantic  interest in Claire he was the strongest of us left and he’s departed, and I Worry for Hiro’s fate as well ever since he went to the future to figure out how to save us he hasn’t been heard from..and I just lost contact with Suresh yesterday…right as he told me he was on the verge of some ground-breaking research that would change everything.  It’s a pattern…Quantum may claim to have made their peace with me after I sold the remnants of Primatech to them but that’s merely a facade clearly. We’re being picked off one by one watch yourself Noah, we need to find out whatever Dark Monday is, and do everything in our power to stop it…or else..it’ll be the end for all of us even Claire.” Angela spoke with a sense of imminent dread but wanted to drive the point that Noah was going to have to speed up his double agent operation and get some concrete evidence on what Quantum was really cooking up if they had any hopes of saving the Evo’s.

[b]Evan Kingsfield, Miami Florida[/b]

“The Time IS NOW! IT’s time for us to rise up, and I don’t mean evo’s or normals or even Americans I mean humanity. Time and time again we’ve allowed tragedies to be committed against each other, atrocities that we look back on and wonder how could those people be so cruel. Well I’m here to tell you were in the midst of one of the worst ones of entire history, an entire population being sentenced to damnation all because of their difference’s, because their the pinnacle of evolution? We should be working together with them to make a difference in the world! I tell you all there will come a day when you will suffer for the sins you’ve committed against your fellow men! And to think there are those that claim to be God fearing individuals who support this. The Church of the Children of Azrael is nothing more then a dangerous cult that does nothing to promote the true tenants of Christianity!! If you dare to call yourself a follower of my God, then you cannot by any means support any of this going!” An older gentleman spoke and behind him where a group of people.

This man was a controversial minister Allan Brown who spoke out on several subjects and now he was commenting on Evo sympathizers. He’d organized a rally in down-town Miami and even had some Evo’s behind him as well as some other evo sympathizers he’d gathered. Thanks to his connections he managed to get this broad-casted despite the fact the Government did not want him on the air. Brown’s speech had of course attracted those who did not share his views, several people in-fact who’d come to shut him down.

However he ignored the torrent of curses and slurs being thrown out as he continued his speech he wanted his message to be seen by everyone, and he knew it was making it’s way to social media. However it seemed his time of ignoring this was coming to an end when the sound of whirring blades was heard in the sky as helicopters were approaching from the sky while armored trucks were coming nearby and a man in a suit with a mega-phone was stepping out of one of them.

“This is a direct order from the Department of Homeland Security Evo Division. Allan Brown you are hereby under arrest for disturbing the peace, harboring un-registered Evo’s, and conspiracy against the U.S Government! This will not be tolerated, step down or you will be dealt with by force.”

Allan looked at the DHS agent and glared at him with eyes of rage. “YOU! I will not be silenced! You people think with your suits, and weapons you can control me? I only listen to one authority, and he’s not a man who would approve of this brutality, this evil! These people are not monsters, they are law abiding citizens who’ve done nothing wrong but refused to subjugate themselve’s to what amounts to modern day Jim Crow laws! Enough is enough, oppression is never the answer, in the end they will -“ The Minister was cut off when a bullet was shot through his stomach and he stumbled back, someone from the crowd had fired a shot.

“Shut up you Evo loving freak!!!! DIE” Cheers where heard from the crowd as the minister stumbled back, and the scene was quickly dissolving into one of panic.  One of the evo’s near the minister rushed to grab him, while another’s eyes glowed pink and suddenly an explosion took place in the middle of the crowd while the Evo that had Allan in his hands took flight.  Panic and chaos spread as people began trying to flee, while others charged towards the stage wanting to get their hands on the Evo’s.

The Department of Homeland Security jumped into the situation as well as one of the helicopters unleashed a torrent of bullets taking down the flying evo before he could gain much altitude. The result was one dead Evo falling several feet into the stage crashing with the bleeding minister in his arms who instead of yelling out in pain seemed to be praying.  “Eliminate Brown’s entourage, lethal force is permited!” The agent who spoke on the mega-phone yelled out as the helicopters rained down assault. Soldiers emerged from the armored truck with high powered assault rifles and began shooting at the stage, while the bulk of the protestors fled the scene once they saw the Government was getting involved.  Powers and ammunition were being thrown around, bodies were dropping left and right, it was a scene of chaos.

“This shit is crazy…” Evan reached for his laptop and presse down on the screen pad freezing the video. This happened two days ago, right as he’d made his way into Miami following up on the story of a life time. He didn’t expect for something even crazier to take place, it was all over the news. “Mentally unstable minister tries to lead uprising against the U.S Government, brutal fight between Homeland Security and Brown’s terroristic entourage leaves many bodies in it’s wake including innocent U.S Citizens who came to stand up for their country. “ Evan looked at the head lines and shook his head.

He was never a fan of the Government always believing they were up to no good but this was insanity. Sure the Evo’s were dangerous, he had to admit as much as he felt the evo registration act was violating several laws it might have been somewhat of a necessity especially after the entire high school in L.A was wiped out.  He’d heard quite a few rumors that the Government was doing some nasty shit to Evo’s, but then again there was rumors that the presidential candidate Elizabeth Reyes who hated Evo’s more then most was one of them. He was no politician but he danced around their circles and there was too much bullshit to ever decipher the truth without visual evidence.

“Fuck..it’s like I can’t even tell who’s the lesser of the two evils the crazy minister trying to say we should let weapons of mass destruction have freedom or the Feds going to shoot them up with civilians around. And these fucking sheep are supporting the suits.” Evan sighed there was so much wrong with the country, and he always seemed to find like minded individuals who agreed yet when stuff like this went down they supported the Men in black over their freedoms. 

“If It wasn’t for the way my bank account was looking there’s no way I would have taken this story.. that and there’s some beautiful women out here..hopefully the feds don’t go and shoot them up too.” Evan sort of chuckled but quickly regretted it as really wasn’t funny. He got word of a story from a mysterious individual who deposited $100 grand into his bank account and promised him another $400 grand if he packed his bags left D.C and went to go look into this story. 

The money alone was incentive as well as his obsessive drive to find the truth, but when he actually looked into the information his mysterious employer gave him he was really into it. Ever since the school in L.A was wiped out he’d been interested in doing stories involving Evo’s, and been researching various events over the last seven years which were un-explained which he believed had potential to be attributed to Evo’s.

He had put together various news articles, police reports, an other things on a board which he labeled the wall of weird. The main two that struck out to him where almost exactly the same in 1977 there was suppose to be a storm that wiped out the entire easter sea-board and again in 2008. Yet in both incidents some-how this supposedly apocalyptic storm was reduced to nothing but a severe blizzard. Divine intervention? Perhaps but he wasn’t a man of the book,  at least not any that had been written so far. Perhaps there was a God out there some-where but he doubted it was like any described in most modern religions.  He figured it had to be something to do with powers, and strangely enough the employer one of his requests was that he start his investigation in Florida. Coincidence, not to him everything had to be connected.

He’d gotten wind of what was going down in Disneyland from one of his co-workers who claimed he was working a story that was gonna net him big money if he exposed whatever Evo caused that to the Government.  [i] Hmm..you think you’ve got something big, I’m looking into someone with the power to wipe out the entire eastern sea-board yet chose to save it. Looks like Miami’s got it’s own guardian angel, and I’m gonna find em. I don’t know what exactly I’m suppose to find out here but I’m guessing that, and the riots that happened two days ago..I’m in the right place. Sides another 400 grand sounds fabulous…I can see it now popping expensive bottles of champaign in some upscale club with some slutty european models who want to make a real American man proud. Ooooh yeah I’m defiantly gonna chase some tail tonight, hit a girl with a …shit..the Evo’s are going to wipe us out any day soon might as well have sex with me. [/i] Evan grinned above all he loved him some booze and sex. Sure he was on official business but that was one of the perks of this life-style he could mix business and with pleasure and none would be the wiser. He went over to dresser where some of his files were and picked up his cup of coffee before taking a sip.  “Hmm that hit the spot, time to go find the truth. “

[b]Jason Koravil, Evo  Detention Facility -  Los Angeles California [/b]

Jason stood in the distance dressed in some T.R.U. religion jeans in a plain black T Shirt on and some timberlands staring at the prison facility for Evo’s. These facilities were not hidden from the world, people with abilities were dangerous and couldn’t be put in prisons. Quantum Industries had come up with the perfect prisons and after striking a lucrative deal with the prison industry the rest as history.

It was all about money, and being a hustler himself Jason couldn’t fault them for that. Greed was something he could relate too only when it didn’t benefit him then he was irritated. Sure some would say he was nothing more then a hypoorit after all he made the bulk of his finances not from his music but from pushing narcotics. But then again was that really his fault, his father was falsely accused of trafficking, his mother suffered from a mental break-down and he couldn’t support himself and his sisters working at a clothing store. Jason stared at the facility then looked up at the sky lost in thoughts about how his life had all gone wrong. He had a promising future thanks to his parents, the sky was the limit.

Well not anymore, see now he had no limits thanks to the gift he’d been blessed with. “The Superpredators…shitty..ass fucking name but I fuck with the concept. People like us we’re great, well not as great as Jason Koravil, but there better then the rest of these peasants.” Jason smiled taking a deep breath then exhaling.

He was in love with one thing…power..well money..but power was his first love. Thanks to his power he could feel all the energy surging around him. So much energy..and he could sense and see it all. It was incredible, and to think eh use to be limited by the regular five senses. No longer was that the case he could see the electrical energy surging through the detention facility, the kinetic energy of cars racing through the streets, the life energy of various people walking around, so much energy he felt like Drake.

“IT’s time.” Jason’s body began to surge with energy as his eyes glowed and he began yelling as he began drawing in energy from all around him. Right after he focused on the facility and unleashed a massive wave of gravitational energy ripping the roof of the facility and tossing it into the sky causing it to fly. He laughed as he watched the roof fly and crash into a building a few miles away tearing through it no doubt hurting and even killing several. “Another one..or couple bites the dust..but I’m not even done yet.” Jason laughed still surging with energy as he could hear alarms blaring from the facility. He began to hover off the ground looking at the sun and held out his arms basking in the sun’s rays as he began drawing in immense amounts of solar energy.

Then a blinding flash of light surrounded him and the surrounding area. Energy surging around him and as the light faded one massive beam slammed into the facility and an explosion was seen decimating over half of it. Screams of agony where heard,  and suddenly more beams of light rained down from the sky onto the facility decimating parts of it. Dust and rubble filled the atmosphere due to his vicious attack on the facility, and suddenly everyone could hear  loud seemingly omnipresent voice.

[b][color=1b1464]Go my people you are free, your oppressors have been silenced, the ability negation systems attached to you have been deactivated, FLEE! You have seen humanity’s true colors seen what they truly think of us and what they intend to do to us. Now I’ve granted you your freedom and all that I ask is that stand with me..and fight. Fight against our oppressors, all around the world there are Evo’s just like you who are been granted a second chance not to stand idle by and hide but to fight..TO FIGHT AND TO WIN!!!! GO MY PEOPLE look around you my power as eliminated your oppressors yet somehow you’ve survived that’s because of my power I put forth a field to save you from the onslaught now I’ve granted you freedom, I’ve granted you life..do with that what you will..but..if you ever seek to fight…seek me out..I am The Guardian, and I will protect my people. [/color][/b]

The Voice rang out and the Evo’s realizing they were free began cheering. They began fleeing and in the distance reinforcements were on the way, sirens were blaring. As the dust settled in the distance Jason was seen standing brushing some sweat off his forehead. “And now to go to work.” Jason grinned and took out a card that said Quantum Industries employee card on it with his name and some of his personal information. “Now this is a job I can live with, and they say it’s not wise to play both sides. Right.” Jason smirked and suddenly drawing on gravitational energy again as well as kinetic he took flight at superhuman speeds vanishing in the blink of an eye leaving behind the wreckage of what was once California’s Quantum headquarters.
