Heather

Interacting with: Robin @McHaggis




"Sounds like a good idea, we should see who currently owns the house." Heather agreed and dug through her chosen records until she found the birth certificate. "This might be the guy. We can use the name at least as a starting point. I want to see if I can find a picture of him. Maybe school records, yearbooks would be a good place to look." She showed Robin the birth certificate. Her hands were now dry from the dust and paper, but it was a relaxing chore. "I'll do that and you check the house records against this name, and anytime 15 years after 1745, so 1760 forward. It is unlikely he had the house in his name before that. Does it seem weird his birthday is Halloween?"

Heather looked up as two girls walked in. She hadn't expected anyone else to show up here, considering the state of the records. She recognized both of them from around town but didn't know them very well. She thought she had seen one of them with Abraham before, but couldn't be certain. The red-haired girl she knew she had seen busking before. "Uh, hi." She smiled.



Niah Bautista





Location: The medical lab
Skills: Psychometry



Everything snapped and the Framework was gone. Niah kept her eyes closed for a few minutes. Well, she thought, at least I didn't need to try to reverse the virus. Though her performance had definitely been lacking. She needed to get practicing with guns again. Or at least some way of protecting herself. Especially now. She wouldn't always have Agent Reed there to protect her.

She took off the framework interface and sat up. Niah felt a bit queasy as she did. She met Z's eyes and smiled at her friend when she waved. It looked like Arc and Z had become friendly with each other, which was nice considering they were both Niah's friends. Now all three of them could hang out with each other.

Marygold Isley told them there might be something besides them to help with their powers. Niah looked and found a pair of gloves. She wasn't certain how it would help her, but she picked them up. There was a weird buzzing noise that sounded like a radio on the wrong station. She thought she heard someone talking but she had no idea what they were saying. Maybe the gloves would help her with her sense enhancement?

"Hey, we saved two-thirds of the day." Niah smiled. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't great, but it was not terrible for the situation. "Sami, have you seen Antoine?" That worry that had been in the back of her mind came back.

I have to decide if I want to play Neil again. He was a cool character concept but I think instead of him as my second I would like to go with something that can actual go into combat.

Name: Niah Bautista

Age: 24 (DOB: 12/26/1987)
Appearance:


Power/ Talent: Enhanced Senses (Hyper Senses). Niah’s senses, in general, are better than a normal human’s, but if she wants to she can hyperfocus a sense. When she does that though she loses complete access to another sense. When hyper-focused she could see with literal microscopic ability, or hear a pin drop from a mile away. In highly emotional situations she cannot control the hyperfocus.
When she hyper focuses on Smell she loses Sight.
Sight - Sound
Sound - Taste
Touch - Smell
Taste - Touch

Biography:
Niah was born in Manila. Her family lived there until 2001 when her father became an Ambassador and moved semi-permanently to America. At the time Niah was in high school, her sister Dalisay was in middle school. They attended a prestigious private school alongside many other statesmen’s children. Niah was a science nerd, and for a good portion of her time at the school attempted to just disappear. When she graduated High School she went to an Ivy league school with the intention of becoming a scientist.

In 2006 her sister was visiting the night of the change. Niah couldn’t find her in the morning. Her family was already stressed over the loss of their mother in 2004, the disappearance of Dalisay hit her hard. The manifestation of Niah’s power did not help; it was uncontrollable.

Niah dropped out of the Ivy league and joined a smaller college to reduce her stress level. There she met several friends, all with powers, but none like her’s. After she graduated in 2009 Niah was looking at potential jobs and Graduate schools when she was recruited for Sector X. [Story for that to be revealed later.]

Even though Niah knew she’d have to cut contact with her father she took the job. Niah knew it’d give her an opportunity not only to work on honing her power but to also find her sister.

Hobbies: Cooking (she’s a hyper taster, even when she isn’t trying to focus on it), dance (Tinkling), anything to do with science (be it reading or doing).

Personality: Niah is shy and quiet, but friendly. She is the type of person who focuses completely on what she is doing forgetting the outside world exists (Niah suspects that is why her power is what it is). She can be frustratingly pedantic when explaining things and tends to forget who she is talking to when she gets into the groove.

Role in Sector X: Investigator, field agent, walking CSI kit.

Additional Info: Niah does not like to be touched, she does not offer her hand for shakes, but bows at introductions instead. She’s also very conscious of what she buys to wear because seams and tags irritate her.

Heather





Location: Dancing Queen -> City Hall
Interacting with: Robin @McHaggis



"That's a tough question." Heather started. How much did she want to tell Robin? Heather took a deep shaky breath. "How about you come over for some tea and we'll do a proper catch-up later? I want to focus on this." She pointed up at the city hall.

Once Robin had parked Heather got out of the Dancing Queen and headed inside the City hall. She looked for someone who could give her directions, a woman about her age behind the reception desk, and asked "Where could I find records about property owning history?"

"The archives room will have deeds to past ownership of buildings and property."

"Thank you." Heather smiled and went into the room the woman had indicated. "Okay, the older records are probably what we want. Anything on that house or Sigfried." She told Robin.

Niah still had her focus on sound, which made the voices from her teammates almost unbearably loud. She nodded when Agent Reed told her to stay close. She was thankful for that. Before the others could move though Niah held up a hand and closed her eyes. It wasn't necessary, but for some reason, it felt right. It helped too if only as a psychosomatic, especially for trying to tune out Billy Joel. Why was that song playing anyway?

"Two are next to the door, Toad, and Scarlet Witch." She whispered. "A third, Plasma, is by the fume hood. That would be where the virus is. And," she paused the fourth was different. "Magneto. He is in the middle of the walkway. You got this Agent Kelley." She grinned at the guy she didn't know and hoped he really did have it.

She hoped it would be enough to help Agent Kelley. They had so little time left there was no way they would finish within the time limit, which frustrated Niah. She had wanted to prove she had been a good choice for this mission. Her plans to become a better field agent option were being dashed it seemed. Though even as a field agent she would be a non-com. That wasn't going to change anytime soon, and Niah wasn't certain she wanted it to change.
Sumi and Hannah shared a smile. An unspoken conversation passed between the two girls over their bread rolls.

A table over a couple of the "happy" world girls were whispering to each other. Sumi watched them and when one of the girls looked their way she shot them a dirty look. The girl shifted and refused to look at Sumi again.

Hannah's hand shot up and she waved over another person, a beautiful young man carrying a book. He gave a slightly exasperated sigh and came over. "Yes, Hannah?" The young man's voice had an Oklahoma twang to it.

"We have new students," Hannah said and gestured at Astrid.

"Surprisingly I knew that. Since you know I'm the one who does orientation." He then turned and smiled at Astrid. "I'm Kade Bronson."

"He is also Elenore's nephew, but he didn't go to the same world as her." Sumi added.

Skills: Sense enhancement - hearing



The blonde Agent, that Niah was certain was called Johnson, died in her hands, her very bloody hands. A part of her brain screamed and she shut it behind a very heavy door mentally. She was not a field agent, she hadn't been trained for this kind of thing. Why had she decided to volunteer for this experiment? She had been the one to convince Antonie to join her, though neither of them would have joined without the other. They must have been desperate indeed. She shut that part of her brain away too, that was something to unpack while not in a mission.

With Wonderland out, thanks to Agent Novikova's power, everyone else was free of the illusion. Niah appreciated Agent Reed's compliment and nodded when it was given.

Reed took control of the situation and the group, now missing one Agent not your fault you were too late to help, started down to the lab that would have the virus. It would be up to Niah to figure out how to neutralize it, with Agent Novikova's help. Maybe if she could actually get her focus on her sight to work she'd be able to tell what was in the virus and with that information counteract it. She wasn't an epidemiologist but she was good at chemistry.

As the awkward group made their way down the stairs Niah decided to give her hearing a shot. With it, she would be able to know if someone was coming down after them, though she knew that wouldn't be enough if that someone was Quicksilver. She also still had the radio on her, so anything announced over the radio would be heard by the rest of the group.

Sound enveloped her, and her mouth lost the taste of concrete thankfully. She could hear the heartbeats of the group and their footsteps as they made their way down the stairs. She counted off theirs and listened for any extra sounds coming up behind them. There didn't seem to be any additional heartbeats or footsteps.
