The Collective is growing you think I'll let some idealistic man who can't walk interfere honestly? Have more faith in me than that." Adora boasted speaking to an ally of hers on the phone. Chloe was on the other line & furious. Mayor Chen had stirred up a sleeping beast, and the situation was getting iratable. Alongside the mayors who’d risen up Altered Lives Matter led on by there leader Dawn had issued a public statement of support for Mayor Chen & all people who supported the so called plight of altered including the other mayors & people who’d started protesting in the four sanctuary cities as well as other areas that took less kindly to the altered. “Listen if you want us to win, for the Collective to be in charge, then this mess Mayor Chen has begun needs to be sorted, not to mention the boost scenario across the street in Oakland is getting crazier, The people of Oakland are demanding an answer, they want immediate military assistance to quell the absurd amount of antagonistic superhuman activity there, while we’re working to surprise the media &. Third party individuals from letting the rest of the country know how bad it is out there. I teamed up with you because you said you can make miracles happen for us, well I need a miracle right now.” Chloe finished before getting off the phone with her new partner in crime. “You want a miracle, well that’s not what most people would name my brand of massacres, but whatever floats your boat.” Adora said to herself in a nonchalant manner to herself now that she was off the phone. “What do you think Veronica do I perform miracles? Careful with what you say, because me allowing you to live after getting your power is what I like to call the miracle..of mercy” Adora finished almost purring. Veronica responded emerging from the shadows literally. Her form shaped from pure darkness that had been ducked off in an ally. She was a light skinned woman clearly biracial but black side was very much apparent. She had long flowing black hair, green eyes, and was wearing a black skirt. “I do owe my life to you, even if you were the very one who was going to take it from me at the support meeting. Of everyone that attended Saiyu’s little function you spare my life, what’s the real reason? You really want me to work for you just because I lost control and used my shadows to sed some people to he’ll who needed to be there.” Veronica retorted still with some disbelief detectable in her tone as she spoke to the altered thief. “Believe It or not it takes guts to do what you did. To wipe out your enemies utterly & entirely. Those are the type of people, no altered that I want, Those others were sitting around with powers trembling in fear of regular mortals with guns.. Not only that but your powers of shadow & darkness have potential, I wanted to have a living ally with those powers on my side not just the power itself at my disposal. Still if you wish to die I’ll be happy to drain you alive my powers quite literally have a mind & stomach of their own. Not only that I’ve found out I’ll face consquences if If I don’t feed properly, so if you want to become apart of my diet rather then follow instructions it won’t take that many acts of insubordination.” Veronica jumped back raising shadow tendrils to her defense by instinct then causing them to dissipate. Adora flinched for a second then smirked, Veronica’s powers were dangerous but she knew not to pick a fight with her. Not when she’d experienced first hand Adora’s base power of assimilation itself, having felt the very life being drained from her. “I’m sorry, I’ll do as you say boss, I’m grateful for the second chance at life you’ve given me. Besides I did come to the meeting seeking others who wanted to band together against the humans rather then just give up until their governmental foot of oppression.” Veronica replied finally settling on following Adora’s orders in order to retain her spared life. “The mission is simple, we’re looking for a chemical known as boost. That is the culprit behind so many bozos & thugs in this town running around with these synthetic abilities. Perform your own investigation from the shadows in the areas I described, meanwhile I’ll be tracking down two of my own leads I stumbled upon with my super hearing. Get to work Veronica I’m serious, you won’t want to disappoint me.” Adora said with edge in her voice, and a not so thinly veiled threat of violence or other alternate repercussions if she failed to co-operate. Veronica nodded her head in understanding with a gulp and dispersed her body into the shadows. Adora turned to face another direction, turning invisible & flying off. She remained vigilant about turning invisible during any flights she took to avoid detection by regular means of picking up flying aircrafts in the sky available to traditional law enforcement & military. Later That Evening Adora’s investigation had continued & turned up ripe results. Initially it started from tracking down two people whom she overheard discussing selling boost near the beach. This assignment gave her the chance to utilize her investigative abilities. Masking her precense she stalked both people, but only one of them was the person she needed. His name was Kenny Myles and he was actually the real deal, a boost dealer. Tracking him down had taken her to a warehouse owned by Cain & his people. Inside the dealer Kenny was speaking with Cain about how this was the last of shipment H and a new batch would be ready today. “Yeah the bossman says he wants you to come pick it up directly, says you’ve earned it, and that he don’t want that metal skinned motherfucker to be his main supplier, even if he controls the Oakland police department.” Kenny explained inside to Cain who took a few boost pills bagged up and pocketed them for himself, before having his men place the crate Kenny delivered elsewhere. “That’s fine I’ll be happy to oblige, I knew Hines would come to see reason and realize that I’m the best person to do business with, not to mention my power far exceeds anything Lionel ca produce with or without boost in our systems.” Cain said with a smirk, he oozed confidence about himself & his powers even In comparison to someone as dangerous as Lionel. Adora licked her lips in anticipation unbeknownst to them that she was listening wondering what abilities he wielded to elicit his fearless tirade of insults towards Lionel. “Great I’ll be sure to let the boss know so everything’s in motion, anyway I’ve got one more stop to make money is money and the mafia’s putting up big bucks for a huge load of boost.” Kenny said with a greedy sneer causing Cain to clap his hands mockingly. “Hurry along then, the bastard has no qualms with taking money from anyone with the right pocket book for product as long as it’s not the Forrester’s or the feds I can respect that, can’t say I’ll do the same once I’m in charge of distribution. But don’t worry I’ll have no supply of customers for you.” Cain shot back having mapped out a strategy to further distribute boost across the United States & maximize how much income they were making. He already had a cross nation operation shipping drugs to other states for massive profits & planned to implement a similar strategy with boost & many of the vicious street gangs he already moved other drugs with. However with boost not only could he raise the prices, but his allies would be far stronger throwing the police across the country into chaos. [I]Just Great, Damn it. I wish I had the power to split into two. The Dealer’s headed to middle man a major amount of boost, but Cain’s going to a meeting with the boss himself to pick up the first of a new batch. Of course I should follow Cain to the source, then again it would be child’s play for me to overpower this dealer & some mafia goons to make off with all the boost from their deal giving me my own supply for myself & The Collective. Plus what if this new batch is less potent then what’s already out in the streets[/I] The invisible mass murderess was engaged in thought about which of the two individuals she should choose to follow with the options she had. On top of all that she had fear coursing through her of Amara emerging. The Thirst was gnawing at her hungry for energy & flesh. Both of which it hadn’t been fed as she moved about in hiding trying to stalk this boost dealer & Cain’s operation for leads. [I]I can’t let Amara’s psychosis mess this up, the last thing I need right now is her emerging and going on a random massacre while trying to spread her stupid church.[/I] Kenny left the premise, and Adora messaged Veronica to keep tabs on him. She decided against contacting Chloe who’d no doubt bring in the military to seize boost. For now she wanted full control of anything to do with this chemical. “Why don’t you come out of your hiding place, no intruders are allowed.” Cain announced calling out Adora who flew over to him and made herself visible, assuming the form of Amara without the glowing black eyes. “Oh and you think you can command me? Are you feeling powerful around all of your lackeys, as if that’ll make a difference against me. I’m here to inform you that your time on this earth is over.” Adora retorted back followed by giggling at the audacity of Cain to challenge her. “Big talk coming from someone whose oozing so much delicious fear. I don’t know what your afraid of, but it matters not. Fear is fear and I consume all of it for my unlimited power, honestly the media is scared of you. San Francisco’s cops & soldiers deployed there are pathetic, I won’t lift a finger to kill you Kolak finish her off so we can go pick up the new batch from the boss, everyone else watch and learn what happens when an amateur tries to fly to close o the sun.” “They don’t just burn up they explode.” Kolak called out leaping into the center of the warehouse. A tall dark skinned man with brown eyes and long dreads. He kicked the ground beneath him causing kinetic energy to surge. The energy coursed through the ground underneath the floor and manifested right next to Adora causing a massive explosion that engulfed her, whilst sending smoke & debris everywhere. “Enough of this damn talking I’m fucking hungry.” As the smoke cleared a wave of telekinetic energy pushed the smoke apart, and Adora emerged relatively unharmed with a smirk on her face. “And trust me you won’t be a fan of what’s on my menu.” She said in a sinister tone filled to the brim with glee.
