@Dusty University of Louisville Hospital only has 2 per room max. You could be in the next room over. Ossar could do a little surveillance.

Bio
I am a Japanese-American (half-Japanese on my mother's side) with a twin half-sister. Yes, you read that right. To explain it real quick, during mom's monthly, she dropped 2 eggs instead of 1 after 2 (or more) guys took her to bed. Each egg was impregnated by a different man's sperm.
Anyways, I'm a kind guy who really hates fighting. However, if I have to stop a fight, whether verbal or physical, I will. I'm here to have fun and be crazy with my OCs, new characters and even some canons. So far, my favorite RP I've been in on the site is the Multiverse reboot. As a whole, the Multiverse was 6 years old. I love the idea and have even used it (with a few minor changes here and there) for a few LARPs with my local friends RL.
Other than RP, I am also a Wiccan Witch following the path of Gaia and a hypnotist studying the varying effects of hypnosis on various age groups and am always taking willing volunteers.

@Polaris North That's a good point... The girls won't get it as bad as Eddie but they would all still get detention. Eddie would probably be able to put everything together seeing all 3 girls.
@Dusty I'm so excited right now! I can't wait to see your next post! What does Tonya do?!
@TheUnknowable I'm still working on him but what do you think so far?
Yes, regular posting.
So, each of the girls wakes up in a hospital? This is gonna be interesting. Let's see where this leads.
Eddie nearly jumped back when the snake kwami jumped out to berate him in a rather odd way of speaking. "I came back to see if Serpentine was still here. I didn't expect to take as long as I did getting the others out of there so the paramedics could help them. I didn't expect to find out the girl I've been crushing on for a year to-" He speed himself, not knowing how Tonya would react.
He felt Beek climb up on his shoulder before following his friend behind Tonya's hair. "Ossar!" he whispered happily, moving to hug the snake. "It's been forever."
Eddie stayed with Tonya as the paramedics lifted her on the stretcher. Holding her hand, he said nothing. The look in his eyes betrayed his feelings for her, the surprise that she was Serpentine, and the emotional pain that he couldn't protect her better. Just before they lifted her into the ambulance, he finally spoke. "Call me when you get out."
Beek hadn't said anything to the snake, mostly in fear of being caught, but was quick to try for a hug again before moving quickly and stealthily back into Eddie's hood. "Is she still mad?" he asked, trying not to let anyone else but Eddie hear him. With a shrug, he began the walk back to school.
Once at school, he was sent to the principle's office for leaving school grounds. There was nothing to say that would keep him out of trouble so he took his punishment, a week of after school detentions.

Matthew Rhodes watched from a distance as the paramedics quickly worked to get everyone to the hospitals. The majority of them were taken to the closest, the University of Louisville Hospital. He had considered trying to blend in with the crowd to give him better access to another potential akuma but had decided against it. It was time to go to Germantown.

WIP. I got a start and I'll try to finish him after work.
Name: Eddie Erikson
Super Name: InfraStep
Power(s): Super Speed.
Physiological changes: Eddie can run at near the speed of sound and his body has changed to accommodate the intense speeds.
Skills
Strength: D
Durability: D
Energy: B
Agility: B
Intelligence: C
Skills: Eddie has an eidetic memory and has always been a quick study but not to the superhuman levels. He also is very flexible, being a competitive gymnast. Although he has barely pushed himself academically, he has created a number of his own gadgets.
Personality: Eddie has always been friendly and competitive. He loves people and will give most people the benefit of the doubt. He loves food and can often be seen eating, though he has a high metabolism do he doesn't gain much weight.
Super ancestors: Unknown. He was adopted as an infant.
Bio: Eddie was adopted at 3 months old by Markus and Elizabeth Erikson. They loved him like their own son, who was only a couple years older. Once he became a year old, he seemed to always be hungry when he wasn't running around at speeds too fast for the normal people. Shortly after becoming 3, he was nearly grabbed by a strange woman. How super speed, however, saved him as he ran back to his father.
When he started school, his parents stressed on him time and time again not to use his powers unless someone was in trouble. It was then that he used it to save one of his classmates, a girl who lived in his neighborhood. After catching her and keeping her from getting hurt worse, all the other kids were staring at him. When the teachers ran up to see what was going on, he had to be truthful. They treated him like a hero for the rest of the day, though the adults didn't put up with him showing off.
As he grew older, he practiced more in the forest just outside of town. He had a few close friends and a loving family with his father, mother, older brother and younger sister. He was eight when his parents sat him and his siblings down to explain everything. They explained his adoption and why he had powers but his brother and sister didn't. He was shocked but surprisingly understanding.
He learned to hide his powers in middle school and only used them when he needed. Thinking that was good he began trying to get his mother to let him try out for sports. She never let him and always told him the temptation would be too much. With that, he began looking for something active and competitive which would satisfy his mom. He found gymnastics. He explained to his mom what gymnastics he wanted to do and, from what the woman saw, there were none he could abuse his powers in. Thus he got signed up for gymnastics.
Over the next few years, betwe friends, gymnastics and chess, he was rarely home in time to eat with the rest of the family. When his brother began thinking he was trying to separate himself from his family, as he had missed the last 3 family game nights, Eddie rebounded with the promise to keep up with the family game nights until he moved out. With his brother satisfied and a promise to keep, he had to find a balance. He ended up dropping chess as there wasn't anything he was getting there he couldn't other places. Thus, he learned how to balance friends, family and gymnastics in a way where most everyone was happy.
After he graduated at near the top of his class, he began college with multiple scholarships to gymnastics, robotics, and academics. Needless to say, he only needed to worry about food. He started part time at a Macrosoft store as a cashier and worked his way up the ranks to manager before being called to the local corporate office. They surprised him with a job in that office making nearly double his current salary. Needless to say, he was excited. He was close to graduating college and had just gotten a job as an inventor. Life was great.
A few months after his graduation, he was working on a rather vague idea when the alarm began ringing signaling a fire. It had been over a decade since he had used it in front of people outside his family. With his speed, he saved everyone, not caring that all his coworkers had just seen his secret. News quickly spread up the chain to the CEO. He was called in by Willy Bates, owner and CEO of the company and offered a new job. Be a superhero. Eddie was hesitant but listened to the entire plan before accepting. He could only see 2 problems with it: there was no pay raise and many of his coworkers knew about him. It wouldn't take much for word to get out about who he was.
Super Suit/Gear: Being employed by Macrosoft, InfraStep has the company logo on both elbow pads and both knee pads. His overall suit is red, as close to infrared as he could get and still be seen, with a gold mask and trim. His knee and elbow pads are black worth the green logo, both complimenting and contrasting the suit. He wears mid-shin length black boots with gold trim. Around his waist, he wears a black belt with gold trim and a gold buckle. Around his belt are various pouches that carry his tools which include:
Name: Eddie Erikson

- Smoke pellets
EMP grenades
A pair of Tonfa
Ropes
A small bag of candy (something like skittles)
A notepad and pen
His cell phone
A camera
So, Eddie knows that Tonya is Serpentine, Ossar knows that Eddie is Talon, and how he was talkin would reveal to Tonya that Eddie is Talon. Interestingly, Ossar doesn't seem to like Eddie. He would've had the chance to try to find the other two but it's doubtful.
