[b]Flint Marrow - Atlanta, Georgia - Abandoned Warehouse Murder Scene [/b] Flint was sitting in his car at the warehouse sparking another new-port, with his ipad out. R[u][i]iddley Storms, former CIA operative. Very dangerous, ability unknown, mother killed when engaging in contact with a dangerous empowered individual. Apartment set ablaze, after examination of the nature of the destroyed apartment we're assuming her powers to be some form of energy manipulation, fire powers or even full blown control of all elements. Very dangerous individual, managed to kill three Legion agent. [/i][/u] "Riddley Storm." He knew of this girl, and had a close relationship with her father. He was one of the many vaporized by the initial Incident, and her mother as well as her had been recruited into Legion following "The Incident". Looking over her file again, he shook his head. He had no idea what really went down in that apartment despite his high ranking, and wondered if anyone in Legion alive day really knew. But with destructive capabilities like that, she was an empowered individual he wanted on his side. Although it seemed it was too late for that, but whoever took out these soldiers at the warehouse was a force to be reckoned with. Greg Konnovich had called back up to deal with whoever had wiped them out, and in the back of his mind he suspected Konnovich was aware of Legion being on his tail. He'd reached out to the CIA Director and although Greg had worked as an informant numerous times in the past for cartels, his work with Salzaras appeared to be self motivated. "Agent Marrow, you have any idea what were dealing with? Who this son of a bitch is that took out Konnovich and his men? You think Salzaras ordered this?" "Well hopefully the Cartels don't have a team of empowered soldiers on their side, but we can't rule out any possibilities. But considering Konnovich called for help, and he was working with Salzaras it seems whoever carried this out wasn't working for him. We do know that Konnovich was, and our agents were taken out in the cross fire." Local police had came to assist with the situation, but none knew of Legion's involvement, even some of the CIA agents on the scene. "So what fucking power you think this was? Two of our guys bodies are gone, not a trace, you saw the footage right? a Car coming out of nowhere, some guy just getting slammed into a wall dead, and two agents gone. I was assuming it might be some form of teleknesis that could explain the first two deaths, and maybe teleporation could explain the second two, but." "Don't think about it too much, Agent Warren's sending me an empowered agent to help out, says he's ruthless. Until we can gather more intel on these various powers, all we really have against them is guess-work when it comes to determining how to defeat them, based off what we know about their abilities. According to Konnovich there in Atlanta, so we need to find them and take them out, we don't need another high school incident. Congress is pushing for a nation wide registration bill, but the President was forced to announce individual states have the authority to pass their own. Georgia is looking like one of the first places that might happen, and then things are going to spiral out of our control. We've got work to do." Ipad tucked between his arms he made his way back to his car, and plopped into his seat. One way or another, this individual had to be stopped. Thoughts of Riddley Storm, and her potential powers crossed his mind against. The world was rapidly changing, and the limits of what could be pardon might have to be challenged. So far they'd managed to capture some empowered, and even succesfully kill the most dangerous, but they had no idea what the limits of these powers might be for some of these individuals. They had to level the playing field sooner rather then later. Just as he was starting his car to leave the ware-house he felt his phone buzzing and saw it was his second in command at the Atlanta Legion Head-quarters, Diana Sullivan. "Speak to me Diana, I'm leaving the warehouse right now where the back-up Konnovich called was killed, we have any leads on what power or who might be responsible." "Not at all, but we've got reports of some potential superhuman violence. Local police and FBI are investigating some gruesome murders of Ramon Cooper, a known criminal suspected heavy involvement in illegal cocaine distribution. Him and his entire crew are dead, arms, legs, heads ripped off, a couple people ripped in half, from the remains we can determine the majority of his crew was present during the attack if not all of them. Seems someone with powers is trying to shake up the drug game, plus according to intel we acquired from a FBI confidential informant it seems Ramon was in bed with Salzaras.." "Fuck, so I'm guessing whoever's responsible for Konnovich's murder is tied to this Ramon Dealer guy, either that or Salzaras has some pissed off enemies who picked up a few parlor tricks from "The Incident", both options aren't good. ." "Not at all, I just want to let you know I don't agree with fire on fire, but Agent Warren's sending in the Empowered agent, just watch your back Marrow he's your responsibility, if we get fucked up cause of him, that's YOUR ass, and this is my facility at that point. Luckily the area where it happened isn't exactly a media friendly place, so no witness's said anything if they say anything, but if the public catches Georgia might get hip to the registration Bill on a state level, we need to stop that, and any criminals with murderous criminals with super human powers need to be eliminated at all costs." A beep was heard, and the phone connection was out. He slammed his fist into the horn causing it to go off, before starting the car and heading back towards Legion head-quarters. [i]Warren I really hope whoever your sending can make a difference, cause we're going to need a miracle if any more super violence in Georgia goes public. [/i] [b]Adora Zayas - Atlanta Georgia - From One Apartment to Another [/b] "No what the fuck are you." "Hungry, just like you are, all the time, interesting turn of events isn't it? The Flip of the script, I love it, I have to admit it it's not what I was looking for but I can't say I won't find it useful, better then the last suspect Korovich had this is something at least it's useful, the last person I just put out their misery." Adora spoke out with a smile as she layed her hands on a somewhat obese man with a bullet wound. As she placed her hands on his chest, a surge of energy was seen flowing from his body to his as he screamed out in pain. The injured man screamed out in pain as the transferal of energy was completed. Within a few moments the man's lifeless body was left on the ground as a pool of blood oozed out from under the carpet beneath him. She removed her hand and took a few steps back not wanting his blood to stain her new shoes. The Audible sound of her stomach growling was heard by none but her as she licked her lips, and closed her eyes taking in a deep breath soaking in what she'd just taken in. On the floor was the gun she'd managed to grab from her would be attacker. "Dave you shouldn't have made use that, I could have gotten more years from you then that." Leaning down she snatched up the weapon and examined it before her jaw elongated and she ate the weapon with ease. "Metallic, the icy cold effect was refreshing like a corona straight from the freezer. Pity it wasn't Salzaras, I could always go for Mexican on the menu as much as I like Chipotle nothing beats authentic cuisine." With that she made her exit from Dave's apartment, a content look upon her face. [i]I suppose I should thank Konnovich, and Salzaras really how much of this would be possible without them?[/i] A few hours later she was seen sitting down on a couch with a glass of wine poured. Scrolling through her phone as she sipped the intoxicating beverage, shifting her attention between social media & the television. "The State of Georgia is holding a meeting in Atlanta, all citizens are welcomed & encouraged to come. The matter at hand is the Empowered Human Registration Act, as Georgia was ground zero for a gruesome power enhanced murder at our own schools, we are in the process of putting together legislation to force Georgia residents with superhuman abilities to be part of a public database. When not if this bill is passed, all Georgia residents who harness these inhuman abilities must enter their information as well as any knowledge they have about the powers they have. Not only will this make law enforcement with these people more enforceable, but will help separate those who have criminal intent with their abilities from those who simply wish to live a regular life and integrate with the rest of society. Failure to comply with the Registration act will result in a minimum prison sentence of no less than five years. Next on Channel 3 News Pastor Grady Adams says the Rapture has came and gone, and we are the one's left behind." Adora chuckled. A Bill like that could pose to serve my interests. [i]If people were stupid enough to really come forward and register. Although anyone with half a brain who wields any real power wouldn't listen to these fools. [/i] "You hear that people with powers are going to have to register, how well did that work out in Marvel comics?" "You really comparing fucking movies to real life Adora, look what the fuck did you want? You said you called me here to make some money!" A Man was seen sitting in the room with Adora smoking a blunt and looking quite irritated. "Awh Marco am I wasting your time? Well I lied, I called you here to make me some money? How's your friend Hector Salzaras doing these days, still paying you well? I hope so, because I'm going to need something from you, $20,000 dollars transfered to my account." Marco let out a boisterous laugh. "You've really lost your mind, you still haven't chanced, the same time wasting scamming bitch as before." Marco stood up and with a quickness whipped out a gun pointing it at her. "Lucky for you I planned on you bullshitting me, I don't know what rock you've been hiding under but if YOU were smart you'd stop worrying about super heroes, and worry about your life. Hector has money on your head, you really thought you could slide away with 200,000 dollars. After a while we started to think you really got vaporized, but Hector wants 100 large for your head. The best part, I ain't even have to look for you, you were dumb enough to tell me where your at." "The Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over...and over again expecting the same result is it not? For me that would be trying to go up against Salzaras by myself with no weapons, and for you that's still trying to seek some large payout when your far too incompetent to get any work done that would dish out that type of money. Marco this is your final warning, if you want to live give me the money, or you'll end up like Maria, & Santiago." Marco's eye was raised as Adora mentioned two other Cartel members he'd worked with frequently in the past two years. "You've got some nerve, even if you some how managed to get to them your done, already called Hector, told him I got you, and he put 50 grand in my account, soon as his people get here I get the other fifty it's over with puta." "You really should have heeded my warning, I mean honestly I probably wasn't going to let you live money or no money, you run your mouth but you could have had a position in the new Salzaras Cartel, or should I say the Zayas Cartel." Without moving an inch Marco's gun vanished into thin air and he stepped back. "W..What your one of them...." "Of course you fool, unlike you I'm no idiot, I know your motives, I knew you'd report me to Salzaras. Honestly I'm tired of waiting in hiding, I've had time to get what I needed, and thanks to "The Incident" no one can stop me, not you, not Salzaras, not even the world." Marco stepped back in fear, his heart racing at the fact that his gun vanished. "Listen Adora! I change my mind, I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about! I can send you the money look calm down! " The cartel member whipped out his phone and pulled up his Zelle app in a hurry as Adora got up. "Oh your going to send the money alright, but it's too late I issued you a warning, and unlike Salzaras I keep my word." Her eyes flashed and suddenly Marco's entire world shifted. He screamed out assuming her power had disintegrated him or turned him into dust, closing his eyes shut expecting immense pain. After a few seconds of realizing he was still alive he looked around only to realize the truth of Adora's powers. "Now you clearly understand the nature of my powers don't you, you bafoon? Disintegration would be child's play compared to what's going to happen to you, and your stupid lackey's." A booming voice was heard, as Marco looked up to see Adora was now towering over him. His already face heart beat was so fast his chest was in pain and he saw his giant phone next to him still on the Zelle app. Her giant hand reached down picking up both him and the phone, as she made her way over to the kitchen. With a few clicks she used his Zelle app to transfer the 50k Hector had sent him for her location to her own account. "Now that's the most useful purpose you've ever served, as a last request I'll let you see Maria & Santiago one last time." "MARCO!!!!!" He turned to see his comrades also miniaturized by Adora's power standing in a plastic container. Adora took out a bic lighter and held it up to Santiago flicking it. The flames ignited a small spark to her but to Santiago it was a massive flame that engulfed him burning him alive in the container. Maria stumbled back screaming bloody murder as Adora laughed. "Lit like Bic literally, this power makes taking out the trash so much easier, but oh no no no no it gets better." She picked up Maria who was struggling for her life in between Adora's gargantuan fingers. "Please shut the fuck up you stupid bitch, begging for mercy when you were literally trying to get paid to kill me? Your no saint, in this line of work this was bound to happen, although maybe not this gruesome." With her hand she reached for her blender, and turned it on dropping Maria in laughing as she was gruesomely ripped apart in the blender screaming bloody murder as she was brutally murdered in seconds. "NOO!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU EVIL PUTA!!!!!" Marco screamed out as Adora rolled her eyes, picking up Maro who was hyper ventilating with tears rolling down his eyes begging for mercy as she held him above the blender. "Bloody flesh smoothies, honestly I need to patent the flavor and sell it to Planet Smoothie, although I can understand how someone could have a distaste for the flavor." "ADORA LISTEN!!!! I can tell you everything about Salzaras operation, we can take him down together, with your power, and my information the possibilities are endless." "Oh really we can work together, you mean you don't want to kill me anymore, what about Maria and Santiago, burned to crisp, and shredded into guts, surely your upset about your comrades amigo." "NO!!!! I don't even like them motherfuckers! I always hated them! Shit really Salzaras gets on my fucking nerves too, I mean just 50K and I'm risking my life fuck that, with me we can make millions! I know where everything is! You got super power, but Salzaras he has real power, and I can tell you everything you need to know to take it." "Interesting you say that, unfortunately your services are no longer needed, just holding you in between fingers I know everything you know, and I need to be going like you said Hector's men are on the way. I got the drop on you idiots, but I'm not Superman, I can die, you can die, or well you will die, but don't worry I'll grant your last request and spare you the blender, as gruesome as it is, you don't deserve a death like that." "Oh my god, Adora I won't forget this, you put me back together, you fix me, I don't know shit I didn't see shit! Not yo powers, I'll tell Salzaras I was geeked up on boy, I." "I didn't say you'd live now did I? The Blender is just too quick, I was thinking the microwave or maybe a little parlor trick I learned from a friend earlier, let's see how it works." With that she dropped the miniaturized cartel member into her glass of wine. At his size he took in mouth fulls of wine as he plunged into the glass of alcohol gasping for breath as he struggled to stay a-float while his chest was burning from all the alcohol he swallowed from his initial drop. "Adios Marco, tell Lucifer I won't be joining him today, or any time soon, you always did say you liked the heat." Her hand wrapped around the glass of wine and she downed it with the cartel member inside. Guzzling the contents of the glass she put it down on the kitchen counter, and dropped his phone in the sink running water over it. "A couple murders, 50 grand up not bad, I could get use to this, I really could." Grabbing the blender she turned it over pouring the contents of Maria's shredded guts onto the carpet, and set Santiago's burned body on the ground. Focusing on her power she enlarged the remains of both murdered cartel members to full size wanting to leave a spectacle of the carnage she caused. "Hope you get the message Hector, I'll be seeing you soon love." With that she waltzed out of the apartment she was in enlarging the body of another murdered person, the occupant of the apartment she was in. Taking out her phone she took a picture of the deceased owner, her head cut off clean from her body. "Stupid bitch, I'm reported missing at sea, and you call your credit card company to charge back all the clothes you bought from my site. I hope of you all enjoy hell, I've got some people to send there." She laughed as she exited the apartment and made her way to her car parked out-front, leaving the complex eager for Hector to find out what remained of his men, as well as her "innocent" victim.
