Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Peter remembered that night rather well. The day Peter parker decided to kiss Lexi, and not Spider-Man. He also remembered that being the day where he fought his biggest foe yet, next to Doctor Connors... And the time where Lexi was in absolute danger. He couldn't help though that that night was pretty heroic... and it did get rid of that awkward moment of her thinking he was joking about being Spider-Man if he just told her.... It felt good to feel her hand on his cheek, even if it was cold. but that cold hand felt red hot when her lips touched his. She pulled back, and agreed with her words 100%

"I don't know... two lovers frozen in an eternal kiss sounds like a great photo." Peter said jokingly, climbing out of the car and walking up to her front door. He was starting to shake a bit, and he was very much looking forward to a warm set of clothes, a warm cup of hot chocolate, and a warm girlfriend at his side. He hopped in place, trying to keep warm. "I don't know whats warmer, these clothes now, or the suit in the dead of winter..." He muttered, giving a smile to Lexi.

The Gift of the Gods

I agree, they are still very dangerous because they have these gifts and some know how to use them, and some don't. That doesn't mean anyone is weak, or anything like that.

And my next post will fast forward everything in to morning, is everyone alright with that? I hate having one group in the morning, and another still at night hahaha

The Gift of the Gods

You're thinking of the gifts as just an excuse to be a super hero and kill shit. My intentions of the gifts were that they were used on both sides to help win the war. Offensive and defensive. They don't have to be over powered either. The original six gods would be extremely OP then if you think about it, and the rest would just die instantly. Its not for how long they have the power, its how they use it, and who they use it for.

My character has the gift of strength and will power. He isn't going to turn in to super man and just lift up a building. He's going to maybe get a small burst of strength to push through a line of Fusos' men, or to maybe to move something a little bit in order for the people to escape. His will power will be more for negotiating, and politics, and all that. So no, I don't think your guy needs to have the power to turn people to gold just so you can have an offensive and very powerful gift. I like Robyn's idea for it, and a few have given you ideas on what you can do with the gift

You can use your gift to use it more for luring people to join your side, like talking about their true desires and having wealth to pay them. You can maybe turn nonbiological items in to valuables so you always have that constant wealth with you.

but its your character man. If you think he should have a power, and you post something, I'll tell you to change it just a bit. I want you to have fun, and everyone else! I dont' want to be the mean GM that takes away that fun and imagination hahaha

Peter listened, and now understood what she was getting at. She seemed to enjoy the fact that Peter was now clueless in something, because she couldn't get that small hint of a smile off her face as she spoke about it. She pulled up to her house, and turned to face him, asking the question. It didn't take long for Peter to get an answer out of his mouth. "I didn't know what I was expecting. You talked about Spider-Man as if you idolized him, which was true I guess... I didn't expect to kiss you. I wasn't hoping that you would kiss Spider-Man... It happened. I wasn't going to take advantage of your, or lead you on." He paused. "Okay, I might have the second encounter. But that's when I knew I had to tell you."

He unbuckled himself, and put his forehead on hers. "So no, I did not expect a hero's reward that night... But to be honest, I'm glad I did, especially and only for you." Peter said softly, giving a smile. He wasn't here to take advantage of Lexi. he wasn't there to claim her for his own. He was just the dorky kid who somehow fell in love with his best friend, who also happened to be out of his league. He loved her more than he could ever love a person.

Peter kept dancing. He loved it. It was the only thing he really had connection to Earth.. and his mom. When he heard Nikki's voice, he didn't flinch, he simply moved his body towards her, still not stopping his dance moves. "Yeah, most of you guys don't appreciate dance." He made his way towards her. "I see you bobbing your head. Now just take that head bob, and moved it to your whole body." He said, spreading out his arms, but still dancing to the song. He watched her move along to the music, dancing right beside her. One of the many ways he seemed to lure in a female was his ability to dance, and his star-lord charm.

The song soon changed, and the song turned to Fooled Around and Fell in Love, Peter slowed his tempo, and started to swing to the music, glancing over at Nikki. "Most of these species are known for their war, and violence, and ability to intimidate... But us Terrans were masters of music, being able to channel all these feelings and emotions, and using that as our master weapon for pretty much anything..." Quill said, getting closer to Nikki.

Steve had always followed the rules. They were there for a reason, and for him being "The Perfect Soldier", he was expected to follow them at all times. But now a days, it seemed like there were a lot more rules you can get away with breaking. Especially S.H.I.E.L.D... He was willing to break all the rules if he had to for Sharon. He didn't care what was between him and her. It sounded crazy since they just met... He couldn't help it though! Something about her made him feel... at home. She started to lean on him, and his whole body tensed. he didn't do it to impress her, or to show off his muscles, but only because of the intense pulse of energy that went through him at just her touch.

She tilted her head, his beautiful eyes staying in view of his, her blonde hair looking more dry than before, and smooth to the touch (he assumed). She whispered those words to him, some that he was very grateful for... and then she leaned up for a kiss. It felt like he was frozen again. Time stood still, and gently, he placed his hands on her hips... What turned out to be a weird, confusing day was turning in to something he was enjoying very much.

"Peter, you're so skinny! What do you feed all your food to the dog?" Peter said in a old lady voice. "We don't have a dog, miss Grace." Peter replied to himself in his regular voice. "How's your solar system project going along, Peter?" The old lady voice returning again. "I finished that five years ago, Mrs. Ruth." Peter replied again, predicting how the conversations would have gone after Lexi gave her own. He looked over at her with a smile, then out the window as they started to drive. He was cold, wet, but very happy and excited to spend the night with just Lexi.

Then she asked the question. He looked over at her, an eyebrow raised. He remembered the night very well, it was the first night for many things. It was the first time he had an interview. The first time he had been flirted on by a girl... and the first time he kissed a woman (he wasn't counting the one where both Lexi and Peter were five). "What you were getting at? What do you mean?" He asked, now curious himself.

The Gift of the Gods

Rilden

Once back at Robyn's shop, he was glad to see Robyn, Chiron, and Alura were nowhere in sight. Now if Fusos' men did follow any trail, it would be Jamlamin and Rilden's. It was a rather bumpy ride, the mud wasn't a problem, but it made them uneasy on how sturdy this wagon was, and the terrain of the road. When the thief asked why he was trying to find people like him and Robyn, he shifted a bit in their seat. "My father would tell me the classic stories of how the High Empire rose, and fell. How the heirs to the throne went in to hiding from Fusos in the Halfling town not many people know of... And just like the rest of the land, we all had this feeling of lost hope. The Tyrant would kill anyone who claimed they were a gift bearer. Anyone who tried to fight against him, was soon never heard from again."

"I was told that one day one of us will rise to the challenge. To oppose Fusos. There were many times in my life where I lost hope. Where I think nothing would ever be happy again... I saw true torture, and terror. In Dorden. All those people suffering far much more than I had ever dreamed of, and how my father said we were destined to help these people. It took selfish acts for me to realize that I had to do something about it. I have no gifts, but I knew the stories of how if all the Gift Bearers stood up against Fusos, they would be strong enough to. Right now, we have the gift of the shadows, and the gift of life with us. Hopefully we can find the rest soon." Rilden finished, and as he did, he felt a bit of unease.

"Listen... do you hear anything?" He asked. There was not a sound in the dense forest. "Prepare yourself... We will lead them off the trail, and then you will use your gift. We will need to travel on foot until we reach the town." Rilden said, taking sneaky glances around the area, to try and spot any orcs hiding.

Rhovanor

The trip was surprisingly easy. The wagon was made much sturdier than Rilden's so it had less bumps. It was weird to not have his bow equipped, and not having Rilden to talk to, but he felt... at ease that Alura was here. It also helped that Chiron was walking by the wagon as well. The ride was quiet for courtesy of the injured, and Robyn who did so much for all of them. The stars were very slowly starting to shine through the clouds, the mud was still thick, and the wildlife was soothing. When Alura asked when he first met Rilden. "I first met Rilden, son of Thaimos almost 10 years ago. I joined a band of thieves who only stole from the corrupt, and supporters of the tyrant." He spoke loud enough for anyone awake to hear the story if they were curious, but also quiet enough to keep those asleep.

"His father just died by a raid by Fusos, searching for the legendary sword. Our leader took him in. To be honest, he seemed to be just like an ordinary human who took losses badly. The veterans knew of his father, he was a great man with a kind heart, and made us promise that if anything happened to him, we would teach him what he needed to know. We didn't think he would last long. But the more he trained with us, and the more he would fall, the faster he would get up, and try again. Our group of thieves were disbanded after an ambush, so for a bit Rilden and I would travel the land. We grew a bond, and at those times, we lost hope for anything good... We would fight, and steal from the corrupt, help if we could. The more we were together, the more he reminded me of Aleden.... But Rilden was destined to be captured for the stories of the 'High King.' I kept Fortis for him until he came back. When he left, he was angry, lost, and with no hope. I do not know what happened when he was in that gods forsaken city... But he returned with a desire to find these gift bearers. He was more humble, and willing to fight for those stories told for so long..."

"Its right after 'no woman allowed on the ship' but before 'bedtime is at 9'" Peter said sarcastically, in an offensive tone. Who was she to yell to him about his ship's condition? She didn't even have one! She did start to compliment it though. "I'm glad its up to your standard." Peter said, not meaning it to be offensive to her. He walked next to her, examining the place as she did. "Bathrooms are on the left. First door. They open automatically." He said, pointing in the direction. As she walked off for the rest room, he made his way back to his bed where his cassette player was. He made sure the tape was safe and secure, and then pushed the play button. It took a second to start, but it didnt' take long for the whole ship to be covered in the song "Ain't no Mountain High Enough"

Peter's head bobbed to the music, his body slowly getting in to the rhythm. It wasn't long before he was dancing along, doing a small mix of the running man, stopping and pretending to sing in to something, just whatever felt good. Peter's favorite thing in the world was his music. He was actually a very good dancer... but sadly, not many aliens enjoyed dancing.

He had a pretty lady in his ship, he had a very expensive artifact, and Yondu had no idea where he was... All he had to do was return this object to some nut job called "The Collector" and everything will be smooth sailing.

The Gift of the Gods

Rilden gave a nod to Alura, looking up at Rhovanor and giving him a nod. He would have to agree, Chiron would also help them as well. This night turned from bad, to worse, to bad again... which, in this day and age was actually good. Jamlamin and Rilden set off in town, and it didn't take long for the theif to start to give up. Rilden had lived most of his life just going for the easier way. He wasn't doing that again. Just when he was about to agree with him, though, he spotted one. Right outside a house. "Quickly." He said quietly, going in a small jog. He gently knocked on the door, hopefully the residence would know that the soft knocking would not belong to Fusos' army.

Rhovanor was at a loss of words when Alura jumped up on the wagon, and taking his prized possessions. she started to talk about the craftsmanship. "My father is in charge of the hunting party in Rayacre. He would come back with something new to teach me every time he returned, helped me build this bow. Perhaps your father taught him his ways." he looked up at her, and then at her weapons. "Very fine work.." He said in approval. As if she needed it. Rhovanor watched Rilden walk away, and he listened to Alura's words. He gave a nod. "Aye, he is very different than most humans I've met." He stated. Most he had were thieves and killers, or people who only wanted money, or their own personal gain. he admits that Rilden may have been like that long ago, but he isn't now.

"We should head out. Give some space between us and the army." Rhovanor said. "Everyone pile in." He said loudly, taking the reigns.

"Hello, My friend and I are in dire need of your wagon. I will pay handsomely for it." Rilden said to the man who opened the door, handing a small pouch of coins. Minutes later Rilden and Jamliman were riding through the streets. They had the idea of throwing hay and a few blankets in the back to make it look like injured were in the back. Hopefully with the cloudy night sky, they wouldn't notice.
