[center][h1][color=lightblue]Mina Kreiger (Alloy)[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] Mina felt a jolt of surprise as the plane crashed into the concourse, sending everything flying and sending glass so fast at her it managed to dig into her metal-coated arm. Yet in a heartbeat, the plane and its damage was gone. Only...only the glass remained, and it was very much [b]real[/b] unlike what else might be happening. Though as the girl grit her teeth whilst pulling out the glass from her metal-covered arm, an idea hit her mind amidst the pain. It was...kind of dumb, but as she finally made her way over to the trashcan and began to get her gear she felt she wouldn't be able to guess anything else at the moment on her own. Excusing herself quickly into the ladies' restroom, as her metallic skin swiftly knit back together once the glass had been fully removed, Mina listened in on the rest of the group's chatter over the comms as she changed in the handicap stall. Varying reports, and...wait, the subject was spotted in HER area?! The member of the Jacks cursed under her breath before pinging back in on the comms as she finished getting her attire on, pulling on her civvie clothes for added "cover" for the moment being in case anyone saw her. Her mask, meanwhile, was left in the bag as she put the bag up on her shoulder for carrying. [color=lightblue]"Plane hit the terminal where i was, but the whole scene disappeared soon after like it wasn't there. The glass the damn thing put in my arm didn't go away though, but i pulled it all out. So i am not sure if this guy is using illusions, or some erratic, large-scale, wibby wobbley timey wimey time/reality manipulation here. If it's Concourse B the target is moving to, though, i can head that direction to do recon on my end if needed. Otherwise i'll stand by with my suit on under civilian clothes for now."[/color] the metallic girl said, calmly moving to leave the women's restroom to avoid making a scene or acting suspicious. Hell if that tear on her arm wasn't adding a bit of a punk look to her clothes now. Sheesh. [@Old Amsterdam][@yoshua171][@BCTheEntity][@ProPro] [hr] [center][h1][color=pink]Allison Mead (Excaliblast)[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] The class seemed to turn to stare at her, shock written into their faces as she felt a sense of dread bloom within her. The group she had run into a time ago with Mantis and the others? They were here. The Community, one of the most dangerous parahuman groups in the city...ironically they'd just learned about them a little the prior class, albeit only as a brief mention/explanation amidst other things about Parahuman Gangs. And now the lesson, and that bit of her past she'd rather have put away from her mind, was coming back to haunt her pretty badly....which was putting it mildly as frustrations and anger coursed through her mind. Damn that stupid Mantis and his idea of getting her onto that suicide mission, and getting those others like Whip killed. Damn Mantis for being the asshole that she'd dreamt a couple times of chocking to death with her bare hands (which had been a bit cathartic for her). And damn these Community bastards for shooting up a college campus, and ruining what quiet life she had wanted! Allison suddenly stood from her seat, almost about to shout back at the PA speaker despite knowing it'd be futile. And yet, she found herself taking a few slow, calm breaths as her rational side sought to reassert control quickly under the circumstances. [color=green]"EH?! You're a parahuman?! And THOSE guys are after you?!?!"[/color] one muscular male classmate called out, shocked in his tone of voice. [color=yellow]"Maybe these guys just want an excuse to kill us?! I mean, how could Allison be a parahuman? Albeit that'd be a pretty big secret,"[/color] another girl retorted, a bit of panic tinting her voice at the same time though. [color=blue]"Honestly it doesn't matter either way, guys, we are probably all dead even if she went out to get stuck like a pig. Might as well hope some of us trigger in the process and survive this crap..."[/color] This is what Allison had feared in part, everyone figuring this bit out. Not that her class here was the worst group for it...hell many of the girls she'd slept with were in this course, some in this very room. They knew her well enough. Then again, it was not like they would have been the only ones to hear that over the PA....joy. It was then the girl looked to her professor, who was looking at her both curiously, though some shock still lied behind the man's experienced yet normally calm eyes. [color=pink]"A while ago some assholes left me in the trainyard for a party, i ran into some people, got powers from a strange vial, and got tricked into attacking someone from the Community. It was terrible, shit hit the fan, i helped kill a few murderous assholes once i got in too deep, and i hoped to get away by coming back here. A big perspective pill i had to swallow that day since i started on this degree. Also i like sleeping with the ladies, but that's no secret i wouldn't want to give out~ But this shit is catching up with me now it seems, and imma go try to do something. It's stupid, but everyone here see if they can make a barricade against the one damn door into this room. And if we've not learned anything else about parahumans here, cover your damn ears whenever the PA comes on or something, idk if this asshat has mental powers. They can't hear us from here anyways. Oh, and if you all live, please bury me somewhere nice, k?"[/color] With that, Allison began to swiftly move towards the door, before another male student got in her way and spread out his arms. [color=magenta]"Wait! You are going to die out there, you idiot. What makes a bitch like you so sure you can-"[/color] he began to say, before Allison gave a flick of her wrist and a blade came out an inch from the boy's throat. A wave of silence took over the room as at least one thing was confirmed. Their classmate was a parahuman, and she had a story for how it happened. After an audible gulp, then, the male classmate moved to the side and allowed Allison to make her way towards the doors. It was here that the brown-haired bombshell began to, despite the stares of her still-shocked classmates, make a shield wall of blades around the doorway. Though as she was about to close herself and the doorway off from the rest of the classroom, another...albeit more familiar female classmate approached her suddenly, causing Allison to pause for a moment...and then sigh. [color=lightgreen]"Look, Allison, i....well, you...hell, be careful out there, ok? You're really cute, and i know we left you in the trainyard but....shit, just stay alive, ok?"[/color] the girl said, before leaning in and planting a brief kiss on Allison's lips. The brown haired girl was shocked for a moment, though gave a laugh another moment later. So that is where this cutie was from, and those hips were rather recognizable to boot...heh, Nina was it? Without an audible word coming out, Allison leaned in and kissed the girl lightly on the lips in return before pulling back and winking before finishing her barrier. [color=pink]"Heh, once i am done here, once we are all out of this, me and you need to go on a date. I know this nice little place downtown near a hotel, eh Nina? So don't let your cute little ass worry over this too much, worry more about what you'll wear when we get all cozy in bed later~"[/color] Yup, she could go die now, with this girl as her valkyrie...ah, or perhaps she was overly hyping herself up to hide the emotions? Not like she felt any better about this, fears of death and dying, and even anger coursing in her mind, and all of this emotion being fought against by what rationality and self-control she had right now. But...ah, this was truly madness at its core, wasn't it? She was going to die here, wasn't she? That stupid crap from before haunting her in the worst ways now. [color=pink][i]'Might as well go down laughing like a loony and acting like a badass...maybe. Or at least try to make them worry a tiny bit less....imma kill Mantis if i live through this, i swear to-,'[/i][/color] With her mind turning back to the situation at hand, and sounds of the professor calling out to tell the remaining students to help him barricade the room heard from over the wall of blades, Allison summed up the courage to hold her wrists forward...and kicked open the wooden lecture hall doors in front of her. The moment she saw anything that didn't seem to be a dead body or cowering student, if anything, she'd fire at them for sure. Anything to not instantly die to a bullet in the brain. But if she could, she would be making her way to the offices....where the PA system was. Stupid? Yes it was. But others would be or had been calling the police, probably, and someone had to have the bullet aimed at them for now until help got here... Might as well be herself.
