“Anyways, that was one of the reasons I came down here.” Carter said turning his gaze towards the woman that spoke to him. “Ranae Viktor, I presume?” Carter asked out of being polite rather than genuinely wanting to know since he already knew who all of them were. “I came down here to try and clear any confusion you might have and to make sure that you know that you don’t have to fear us. We are not the enemy here, we only want to help you all. What happened at the bus crash wasn’t supposed to happen and it’s unfortunate that you all had to get involved due to chance and genetics but we cannot change the past and a very dangerous group is now after you because of what happened. In the simplest sense the Reformers, as they liked to be called, could be seen as a type of terrorist group made up of people like you all. They were once a part of my team of trained military men, scientists and other highly train personals who were given a serum that had the ability to alter a person’s genetic code which allows them to gain abilities deemed impossible, the same serum that was released during the crash. It’s been a week now since the crash, I don’t doubt that you’ve seen changes in your life since then? Am I wrong to assume this?” Two knocks were heard at the door and Carter looked back a little surprised. “Wow, I’m quite surprised. I’ve never seen them work this quickly.”

”Quite the mouthful,” she murmured quietly as the man in front of her drew his attention elsewhere. ”So humans are already playing with genetics? I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised and in the end, I should be thanking you..” She wasn’t about to let them know why she was thanking them, though if they already knew this much, she wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually figured out what she was trying to do.

”But..” she interjected herself with a sharp tone, meant to grab Carter’s attention. ”These people are probably scared, confused, and lost.. They have no mind for the fantastical. Hell, they’re probably listening to you with doubts in their mind right now. Genetic tampering? Powers?” She paused, looking at the other three for a moment. ”They’ll have to face it eventually that it’s the truth. The point is,” she turned a hard gaze back on Carter, an expectant untrusting look on her face, ”I don’t care who you are ... or who these ‘Reformers’ are ... or what you want with us, but I will raise as much hell as I need to in order to protect them. If I have to die so that they can live whatever life they choose, then fine, but you better not screw them over, treat them with disrespect, or hurt them.”

There, she got her speech out. Crossing her arms under her chest, she just thought how much corruption was in this world and how much pain those closest to you could really give you and she was about done with taking all the shit. Accident or not, she had a responsibility and her stern expression showed her determination to not let that go to waste. ”I’m sure we’ll decide who’s more fair in the end, Mr. Carter. Do whatever you need to do.”

The year; 2037. The setting; Earth. The introduction of the holopads had a bigger impact on society than anyone would’ve even guessed or that anyone even acknowledges to this day, taking the commercials and media coverage as an annoying norm. Like anything in our culture though, they started to shape how people thought, how they react, and what they felt pressured to buy, slowly ushering the United States into a more futuristic, sci-fi environment. Architecture took on a more sleek, angled approach, while roads and highways were lifted from the scum and dirt of the homeless. The military started to invest is robotics and cybernetics, while people got eye implants to relieve their blindness, buying small robot dogs for pets instead of the faithful companion we had kept at our side for decades.

The world as we knew it started to become more fantastical. The iPad turned into the iScreen, a small portable holopad that was harder to break due to the light technology it used for it’s screen, touchscreens becoming commonplace in restaurants, saloons, repair shops, and furniture stores. Those who couldn’t keep up with the times fell back into poverty, littering downtown's with the jobless and forgotten, crime that was left unchecked due to either apathy or under-manning.

Society is filled with mystery once more and no one knows what comes next. Who will you be?

Hello fellow writers! I'm posting this in hopes someone will be able to join and stay with me on this unique adventure exploring a very alternate take on the DC Universe - so much so that you really don't even need to have any knowledge about it. It's more about using familiar city names and creating our own world around them than anything, such a Empire City, Gotham, or Metropolis.

The basic premises of this story is that my character will have run across something even more fantastical than usual - the ability to acquire superpowers. Using her new found powers, she has turned vigilante for yet unknown reasons and has been forcing the crime rates in Empire City to go down. While she has her own goals and story to follow, anyone that wants to join can literally make a character from anything. She could be a librarian that is obsessed with comic book heroes and chases after the vigilante, or maybe a scientist that has a thirst for knowledge, wondering where these powers come from. Maybe a cop that's been framed for murder and now needs the vigilante's aid or even another rare individual that has somehow acquired superpowers. For simplicity's sake, while your character could be from another city such as Gotham, we'll have them start in Empire City regardless. Also I'd like to avoid any higher powers, such as senators or anything Federal-related really. If going down the superheroine path, think more along the lines of lower-tier superpowers ... so no Supergirl-likes or anything.

Edit: Also from a romantic point of view, my girl will be a confident introvert and more of a submissive-type partner. So having a character that is fine making the first step and willing to take lead in romance is definitely a plus. On that note, I want it to build naturally, so my vigilante may not respond to flirting right away, especially since they're strangers and she gets some stalkers as it is with her fame growing.

If there is anything I've forgotten, please let me know! It's been a while since I posted a 1x1 interest. ^.^
