Being one of the lead directors of Liberty was a busy job more so then any position he'd held in the past. As of now he was relieved that the majority of his mission had him positioned in San Francisco, California near the rest of his family. But it also made his blood boil more to know there were so many dangerous criminals & crimes for that matter taking place in the same state the people he treasured the most lived in. Entering the hospital that was the main thing on his mind, was how he had to put his all into the mission to keep his family safe. He was here to question a suspected altered human with ice manipulating abilities who'd got into a fight in the streets of San Francisco with another altered human who like the murderous Shade he was already investigating had great strength & acted as a vigilante in a one man crusade against crime. He flipped through the pages of some files he had in a folder as he rode the elevator up to the floor the ice thief was. Apparently as a result of the fight he'd been rushed to the hospital right after the police defused the situation as he was in no condition medically to be take straight to the jail. He was relieved to see the man was hand-cuffed to the bed when he entered the room. [Color=orange]"Xavier"[/color] Jonah spoke softly calling out the man's name, he briefly looked down at one of the pages in his hands to ensure he'd gotten the name right for ice cold man with 7/11 sticky fingers. "What's it to you....I already talked to the cops and the feds and I took ur little test, but you guys already knew I was a freak. Ain't this some bullshit I use my powers to try to get my piece of the pie and end up getting beat up by Super Fist & grilled by all the alphabet boys." Xavier pouted in response to Jonah calling out his government name. To that end Jonah pulled out his badge holding it up for him to see. [Color=orange]"Listen up kid, you've got a bunch of charges against you. Destruction of Property, Public Endangerment, Felony Theft, plus all the new altered laws you violated. It's best you co-operate or I'll have you detained as an enemy combatant with no jury or trial."[/color] "W-W-What you can't do that, that's illegal!" Xavier exclaimed at Jonah's thinly veiled threat to cage him up until he talked. Jonah invaded the man's personal space bubble and slapped him. Xavier yelled out in pain as Jonah put his hands around his collar shoving him and the hospital bed he was laying in against the wall. An audible thud in both nearby rooms were heard as JOnah opted to pummel his new target with his fists. After a few well placed blows on the already injured bedridden altered human he managed to bruise the information out of him. Once that was succesful Jonah whipped out a pen taking notes on the information Xavier had been reluctant to volunteer at first. [Color=orange]"So not one but two more, the one that rightfully beat the shit out of you and the native american whom you say used his own power to help you?"[/color] Jonah remarked while unknowingly pulling on his bottom lip. This was the type of intel he wanted, he took out his phone to message people working at HQ to obtain & review the traffic light footage from the fight to try to get a visual of the native american who prevented Xavier from dying, as well as putting in another request to run facial recognition software on the guy if they found him to see if there was a match in the system. Jonah was hoping he already had been arrested for some crime before either in California or another state. Xavier seemed very guilty about giving up the guy that literally saved his life, but his survival instincts had overwhelmed his morality whilst Jonah beat him down for the knowledge in the first place. In the end while he wa grateful Thomas saved his life, if he didn't share that with Jonah he feared he wouldn't have a life anymore at all. [Color=orange]"All in all you were very co-operative, and as such I'm going to offer you a reward for your services."[/color] Jonah dug in his left pants pocket and took out a wad of cash placing it on Xavier's lap. [Color=orange]"That's all yours now was that so bad, oh and one more thing, I read up on your history, your a big fan of drugs particularly ketamine & GHB well I happen to have a syringe full of both, what can I say like to party too, and as a measure of good faith I'll let you keep it."[/color] True to his word Jonah produced a syringe full of liquid from his left pants pocket before handing it to Xavier. His eyes lit up when the syringe full of drugs was given to him. “Wait this ain’t no set up shit right like you not finna hop up and throw some cuffs on me are you?” That was his response as his eyebrows scrunched up while fidgeting with the syringe in his hands. [Color=orange]“I’m not that type of agent, I’ve got bigger fish to fry, long as you don’t go around trying to freeze 7/11 owners for we won’t see each other again. If we do I won’t be coming with cuffs.”[/color] Jonah responded while standing up and drawing his eyes to his tucked pistol , showcasing a non thinly veiled threat to remove him from the living world if they crossed paths again. Even now as he made his way towards the exit of the hospital room he didn’t want to leave Xavier a free man. In the wise words of Linkin Park in the end it doesn’t even matter as he was already cuffed to a hospital bed by the regular authorities so he wasn’t making any movements any time soon. Jonah peeked at his watch once again as he was making his way out of the elevator. Outside the hospital a black Mercedes awaited him in the front where a well dressed black woman was seen at the wheel. Jonah leaned down to verify the identity of the driver before opening the passenger door and sliding into the vehicle pulling his seat belt across his body to fasten it. [Color=orange]“Alright Kalina, I’ve got what we needed let’s get the hell out of here.”[/color] “Yes sir, so I take it everything went according to plan Jonah.” Kalina responded as she looked into the rear view mirror taking note of her surroundings before pulling out of the hospital. [Color=orange]“Of course, managed to get information on not one but two of them.”[/color] “Oh a bonus, I know your excited, I understand you have quite a strong stance against my kind don’t you?” Kalina retorted not even turning to look at Jonah adjust his collar, as her commentary had made him slightly uncomfortable. Seeing as she was an Altered human herself he didn’t want to rouse her too much with words of how he truly felt about the superhuman populace that was rapidly growing throughout the country. [Color=orange]“I’m not Xavier I’m not one to fall for bait of any sort, indeed there’s no reason for me to answer that as you already know just about everything I could possibly say, let’s get back to HQ, I’m sure we’re about to have a busy day thanks to Forrester’s announcement.”[/color] Jonah replied clearly not in the mood to debate about the morality of his job or anything else of that nature. He looked down to check his watch again before taking out his phone to respond to some other Liberty Agents who were texting him. Within the walls of the hospital Xavier’s body lay motionless in his hospital bed, his monitor letting off one long beep indicating that he was no longer among the living. The syringe Jonah had given him was still plunged into his arm as medical personnel rushed into the room to see what had triggered his sudden passing.

His superior speed left him defenseless in the event that it dropped, having no way to react in time to someone with his power. [Color=lightblue]“Pay? Is money what you seek?”[/color] Jason chuckled money was the least of his concerns. The world was rapidly changing, and the United States treated the altered like a most unwelcome change to society. Using his powers he caused an image of Angel to appear in Marcus’s mind as well as the exact co-ordinates to where he’d spotted Angel in the camp. [Color=lightblue]“As you said or rather thought straight to business, I’ve provided you with both Angel’s appearance & location. What I need from you is your help, your power, to change the world. Like so many other different people before us we have been labeled as outcasts & dangerous just for existing because we’re different. I want to ensure our people survive, more than that really I want us the altered to thrive in this new world that deems our continued breathing a liability to society’s functioning. I’m putting together a team, for lack of a better word of like minded powered individuals to fight back. The Blood tests, & the President’s new restrictions are just the tip of the iceberg of what these bastards in Washington have planned for us. I implore you to join me on my crusade to take the offensive against Forrester’s administration to liberate our people. As for financial compensation whatever funds you desire can be yours, simply point out a person and I’ll happily compel them to give you whatever money you want, what do you say Marcus?”[/color] A smirk came across the light skinned superhuman’s face as he finished delivering his spill to former veteran. Money was the least of his concerns, he had bigger things in mind, he was focused on revolution.

It appeared to be able to take a beating far better than most humans, this fight was far more difficult than any of the gangsters he’d easily torn to shreds thus far. The mutant lunged forward claws drawn as it slashed at Jace’s chest drawing blood then kicked him in the chest catapulting him into an SUV that was trying to swerve away from the conflict. “RRRGNAHNAHA” The creature roared clearly unable to speak any sort of language, resorting to animalistic noises to communicate. As Jace collided with the SUV killing both occupants upon impact, the whirring blades of a helicopter were heard as well as soldiers yelling commands. Jace’s body ached in ways it hadn’t since he’d first gained these powers. Two armored vehicles turned a corner and began opening fire on the mutant, the chopper doing the same. The mutant yelled out as the rapid gun-fire seemed to be more then a deterrent to the beast actually injuring him. In response the mutant leapt into the air colliding with the helicopter and bringing it down crashing into one of the armored vehicles causing an explosion that took the lives of everyone involved. “PULL BACK!!! PULL BACK!!! WE NEED BACK-UP, there’s some fucking …monster out here tearing us apart!” One of the soldiers was yelling into a communication device from the other armored vehicle, as the mutant emerged from the flaming wreckage bleeding but not dead. One of the soldiers on-board the armored truck fired a rocket from an RPG at the mutant. The mutant moved swiftly with speed that didn’t seem to be possible for the creature’s height & stature dodging the missile. The mutant lunged forward stabbing it’s claws through the soldier then throwing him through the window of a fifth story apartment building on the same street, before going to tear apart the other soldiers on-board the armored truck. “HELP!!!” A woman yelled as the mutant rushed towards her only for Jace to tackle the beast now wearing his mask. [Color=purple]“Get the fuck outta here stupid bitch!!!”[/color] Jace yelled at the woman as the mutant kicked him sending him flying into a fire hydrant that burst upon impact. As the water sprayed him he had little time to rest as the mutant rushed towards Jace slashing him with it’s claws again before Jace grabbed the creature’s left arm and yanked it breaking the creature’s arm then punched it in the chest absorbing strength from the creature. “Ooooh shit you gotta fuck ton of power.” Jace let out as his heart beat was racing from the strength he siphoned from the creature. He went on the offensive beginning to throw punch after punch on the beast knocking it back before the creature le out a inhuman scry fixing it’s arm and growing even more muscular before smacking Jace knocking him into the ground forming a small crater in the asphalt upon impact. [Color=purple]“Ah fuck no...the hell is you on, monster steroids?!”[/color] Jace let out feeling as though this battle was getting more difficult and perhaps he should have picked his fights better. The mutant charged Jace now moving even faster and began beating him down not letting up as it pounded Jace deeper into the crater that had formed. Blood spewed from Jace’s mouth as the monster’s fist plowed into his face. Jace ended up using both of his legs to double kick the beast sending him crashing into another store-front. Breathing heavily Jace stood up now battered & bloody from the creature’s brutal beat-down. He struggled to maintain his stance and stay on his feet. [Color=purple][I]If I don’t figure something out soon I’m gonna fucking die I gotta do something, fuck fuck fuck[/I][/color] Jace was now starting to panic, for the first time since getting his powers he was on the loosing end of a physical confrontation. Not only had breaking the beast’s arm not helped him it had seemed to make the creature stronger. He watched as the creature began flinging objects at him, and Jace ran rolling out of the way. As a metal bin was flung towards him Jace ducked again only to see it hurtling towards an asian man on the sidewalk who seemed stunned by the conflict. “LOOK OUT!!!!” Jace yelled towards Sanzhar knowing if the bin collided with the man at that speed it could be fatal. To his utter shock & surprise the man used a power of his own stopping the bin from hitting him. “Oh shit.” Jace jaw dropped beneath his mask seeing another altered human. However the time for surprise was over as the creature beat his chest & roared before charging towards him again. [Color=purple]“Alright round 2 with the super ugly motherfucker.”[/color] Jace balled up his fists using his power to raise the limits of his strength again taking in a deep breath. His energy reserves were low from constantly using his power to survive this battle, and he decided on a strategy to use to try to end this fight. But it seemed God was on his side today, as the other superhuman decided to enter the fray. He’d turned the metal bin into metallic restraints and used them to restrain the creature. The help didn’t stop there as Sanzhar’s powers were used to cause the metallic restraints to dig deeper into the ground restraining the monster. “Oh shit preciate that bruh I was finna fucking die, big & ugly over there is something else.” Jace said in between gasps for breath showing how tired & drained he’d become using his powers against the monster. The creature began screaming it’s muscles growing as it struggled against Sanzhar’s restraints. Jace fearing the creature would soon break free decided it was now or never. He rushed towards the discarded rocket launcher from the soldier who’d failed to kill the beast. Right as he picked up the RPG the creature burst free from Sanzhar’s restraints and growled before turning to Sanzhar and beginning to rush towards him. [Color=purple]“Nigh Night bitch.”[/color] Jace pulled the trigger firing a rocket at the creature using his power to ramp up the strength of the missile causing it to blow the creature apart upon contact. The Guts of the creature scattered across the street as Jace dropped the weapon and coughed up blood as he walked over to the man who’d come to his rescue. The tremors of Adora’s giant foot-steps in the distance nearly caused him to trip as he sluggishly made his way over to Sanzhar. [Color=purple]“Yo…preciate the back-up but I think we should get the hell out of here, we saved the day but I’m pretty sure we broke every law the President just passed about not using powers out in public.”[/color] Jace said as he dug into his pocket to take out the keys to his Jeep. The bodies of the monster’s victim were littered across the street and he didn’t want to stick around for questions. “Hey!!!! Stop moving, get on the ground now! You two are BOTH under arrest.” Jace turned to see police approaching with national guard as well. Jace was beaten, weary & agitated from the prolonged battle with the murderous mutant monster the last thing he needed was additional confrontation with law enforcement. [Color=purple][I]Just fucking great, help stop the mutant DEEBO from ripping people limb from limb and now I’m finna get arrested[/I][/color] Jace huffed as the officers & soldiers drew their weapons down on the two. “HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK ON THE GROUND OR WE WILLL SHOOT!!!!!” One of the officers with a mega phone spoke barking orders to the two altered who’d just used their powers to stop the mutant’s massacre only moments ago. [Color=purple]“OKAY OKAY…fuck it.”[/color] Jace put his hands behind his back then quickly kicked a parked Camry towards the convoy of LEO’s & their vehicles. Immediately he jetted towards his parked Jeep which had luckily not been smashed during the fight and hopped in the driver seat putting his keys in the ignition as the sound of gun-shots rung in the air. [Color=purple]“Get in!!!”[/color] Jace yelled towards Sanzhar as he reached across to open the passenger door getting ready to pull off in seconds whether the metal bender hopped in or not. [Center][Img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/45/47/7c/45477c30054eb84d9891f23d1df1cea8.jpg[/Img][/center] [CENTER][I][h1][color=pink]Adora Zayas[/color][/h1][/i][/CENTER] [Color=pink]Time:[/color] Late Morning [Color=pink]Location:[/color] Downtown San Francisco [Color=pink]Interaction:[/color] [@FunnyGuy] [@The Man Emperor] [@AliceFalling] [@Xandrya] [hr] Adora was thrilled at the damage & chaos that had followed the start of her rampage. It felt so good to be able to cut loose & cause damage. The best part of all of this was it wasn’t her image getting stained but Lori’s instead. At least the poor girl wouldn’t be around to watch her name get tarnished, dragged through the mud & labeled as one of the biggest altered human terrorists in the country. Adora punched a hole clean through the hospital then began violently kicking the hospital bringing the medical facility down while laughing. [Color=pink]“DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!! I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR PRESIDENT FORRESTER AND HIS NEW LAWS! GO TO HELL!!! THE ALTERED WILL NEVER LISTEN, WE WONT FOLLOW ANY RULES, AND WE WILL MURDER ALL OF YOU!!!!”[/color] Adora screamed out her response to the president’s decree, at her size the ringing of her loud voice shattered several windows in the area. Adora was giddy with joy at the sheer agony & suffering she was causing with her own abilities. She turned to step on more people and vehicles marching away from the decimated hospital when the unexpected happened. Thanks to Eric King’s meddling with time, she was ensured in a trap so to speak. As his response to her vicious attack occurred while time was paused she was unable to respond. [Color=pink]“What the fu-“[/color] Adora cursed as she was suddenly dealing with the make-shift fabric chain he’d composed for her. The giant woman lost her balance, while simultaneously getting her foot soaked as if she’d stepped in some massive puddle and struggled as she fell backwards collapsing into a building then falling onto the streets crushing people & vehicles alike while also injuring herself from the unplanned fall. [Color=pink]“Damn it!”[/color] Adora said angry as she slammed her first down on a store causing it to cave in on the people inside as she got up dusting off her knees seeing more soldiers in armored vehicles approaching while they tried to evacuate people from the area with police assistance. [Color=pink]“Oh no no no, nobody gets away, everyone dies!!!”[/color] As she moved towards the soldier a bus swerving by slammed into her shoe. She instinctively scrunched her toe when the vehicle hit her cursing as the bus quickly pulled into reverse and turned to pull away. [Color=pink]“OH fuck you too.”[/color] Adora reached down grabbing the bus full of people picking it up laughing at all the people screaming inside. [Color=pink]“Shut up! Shut up!!!”[/color] Adora commanded towards the passengers on the bus, turning to see more helicopters approaching. [Color=pink]“Ooooh welcome to the party.”[/color] Adora tossed the bus into her mouth and gulped down the vehicle before roaring like an animal. As the helicopters opened fire she responded by spitting two helicopters getting downed by wads of spit crashing into buildings, followed by her unleashing a telekinetic blast that demolished an entire street blasting people, vehicles & buildings. Reaching down she grabbed two girls who were running for their lives and flung them at a third helicopter. The women screamed as they slammed into chopper, only to be cut in the chopper’s blades and gruesomely torn apart while also destroying the blades causing the chopper to go down crashing into a burger joint. Her eyes surged with red energy before spinning around unleashing destructive beams in multiple directions tearing through buildings. Using her power she lifted some vehicles into the air then smacked them sending hurtling the vehicles into the soldier’s armored vehicles. Followed by clasping her hands around the top of a building ripping it in half and flinging the top half in the air. The altered human’s hands clapped in satisfaction as the top half of the building was flung across a few blocks before colliding with another building causing both to crumble to the ground slaughtering several people. On the ground amongst the chaos was Jonah Hanes partner Angela Fields who had a gun drawn and was helping LEO’s evacuate people from the chaotic scene. Her phone rung and she quickly picked up. “Hanes!!!! We have a major problem, Lori Martinez the altered woman with optic beams who was taken into custody for blasting her fiancee while catching him cheating is killing everyone! She’s fucking huge.” [Color=orange]“What the fuck is going on today?!![/color] Jonah yelled on the other end, Angela switched the call to face-time and flipped her phone around allowing Jonah to witness Adora’s murderous rampage. [Color=orange]“Laser eyes & giant size?! That’s two powers, she has two powers?”[/color] The realization set in as Jonah responded realizing the severity of the predicament going on in downtown San Francisco with an altered human who was apparently demonstrating two different powers. “Yeah Liberty’s worst fear has come to pass, a superhuman with more then one ability & she’s not happy about what the President said.” Right as Angela responded she screamed out as a blast of electricity flew over her head and wiped out an Italian restaurant across the street from her. “Make that three!!” [Color=orange]“Get the fuck outta there, now!!!!! There’s nothing, you hear me nothing you can do!!!!! Get back to HQ now, there about to deploy the jets! Forget the people, we can’t save them not from this, leave that’s an order!!”[/color] Jonah yelled out to his partner fearing for her life witnessing the violent rampage on the other end of the face time. “You don’t have to order me! I’m gone!!!” Angela retorted and looked around the area trying to figure a way out. She spotted a manhole and decided to go for it rushing towards it and opening it, hopping down the ladder to make her escape hanging up to focus on getting away.
