The Guardian Angel Project

Normally I don't write this much for this long... I promise it's not an all the time occurrence.... O.o Why am I writing so damn much today?

The Guardian Angel Project

Cade sighed in defeat, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I offer to show you guys something interesting and all you can do is complain. You should take the example of Miss Anya and Sophia. I couldn't tell you if they were bored or annoyed or not because they keep it to themselves." Somewhere down the hall he could hear frantic footsteps. tilting his head sideways as a skinny man in a white lab coat came barreling down the hall. "You look as flustered as ever I see. Mind telling me what the rush is?" Cade raised an eyebrow while Dr. Blake rested a hand against the wall to catch his breath. "I've been trying to test Silvia's battle endurance but no one wants to spar her. I finally got somebody to say yes but they ran off while I was setting up the monitors." He looked around Cade at the group he was touring with an expression that read 'I know I'm missing something important, but I don't know what'. His attention was brought back when Cade cracked his knuckles and rolled his neck. "Don't you worry about a thing, I can handle this." Blake looked at him with a skeptical grimace. "I don't know, Cade... Remember the last time-" "Well this isn't last time now is it? That was a fluke and she owes me a rematch anyway. You might as well get your readings in at the same time." Blake considered it, glancing back at the tour group once more. "Yeah, but what about these guys? Who are they?" Cade laughed and slapped the doctor on the back, watching him stumble forward a few steps. "Our Guardians. Thought I might show them what it is that we're good for." He said this while looking straight back at Rebecca, as if to say 'you haven't seen anything yet'. Blake's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands together. "Alright then, if you insist. It's your funeral, not mine." Cade rolled his eyes and followed the man with an annoyed expression. "You know, for a scientist you sure do have a lot of bias." He growled, looking at Blake out of the corner of his eye. "You know, for an Angel you sure do have a lot of attitude." Blake countered, rounding the corner and beckoning for him to enter. "I might as well get your readings again too. The more data the better. Don't worry about these guys, I'll watch them." Cade raised an eyebrow as he started walking away. "That doesn't make me worry any less." The door slid shut behind him, separating him from the guardians outside. He shook his head and stared at Silvia while the wireless sensors were attached to him as well.

"I don't understand why you continue to come back. I beat you every time." Silvia said flatly, as if everything she had said was a matter of fact. "It's not something you would understand, robot." Cade sniffed indignantly, gearing himself for the battle ahead. The girl shook her head, standing calmly across from him. "I also don't understand why you continue to taunt me when you know it will not work. I have no emotional-" "Yes, we know. You're a robot with no feelings. Like I said, you wouldn't understand." She sighed, a reflexive move that felt right but held no meaning to her.

Blake looked through the window at the Angels while speaking to the Guardians. "I hope you brought popcorn, because this is going to be hilarious. He just never learns. I'm starting to wonder if just more than his chip is defective."

The Supernovas

Sky looked cautiously from side to side, stepping carefully out into the hall. She felt like calling out but though better of it, shutting her mouth before she gave away her position. Stepping over the debris on the ground, she searched for something she could use as a weapon but to no avail. "Naturally." She growled to herself. I know I heard them around here somewhere. Maybe they know how to get out of this hell hole. Hearing a noise behind her she spun around, clutching her stomach in pain as she did so. The Vitus had been none to kind to her, had left her alive but broken. She would never forgive these beasts and would go to the ends of the universe just to kill every last one of them. Sky shook her head, clearing away the thoughts. It had never been like her to think that way, she was different now and it scared her. Seeing nothing behind her she continued moving forward and around a bend. Ending up in front of a few Vitus, who looked furious at the situation. "Uh-oh." She mumbled as they turned to look at her, speaking to each other in a language she didn't understand. One reached out for her but grasped nothing as she tripped backwards and fell with a scream. "Get away from me!" She yelled, scrambling to her feet and running in the opposite direction. There had to be someone close by to help her, she wouldn't make it on her own. Suddenly she felt the arms around her, closing her arms in close to her body as she was lifted off the ground. "No, get off of me." She struggled and kicked out, panicking in her terror. "I said OFF." Both she and her assailant were pushed back onto the floor, grip just loose enough for Sky to wiggle free. Without knowing how it got there, Sky brought the chunk of metal down on the Vitus' head over and over again, screaming at it then laughing at it. "You will all pay, do you hear me? I'll kill you all."

*Silvia stares blankly* "I fail to see the difference. Would you prefer I call them jellyfish legs?"

13 Edgewood Drive

Clary had been reading her book since she read the note, using the time to truly think her answer over. She couldn't think of anything else she had to do other than her homework, which could easily be done each class before. It was a skill she had mastered in her all her years in school. Off to the side she could hear a couple of the kids talking to Cara about the party, among other things. So the others have been invited too... Great. She almost reconsidered saying yes but out of nowhere she put her book down and looked over at the small group. "Hey Cara. I'm free so I'll be there. Any specific theme or just wear whatever?" Inside she was yelling at herself, knowing that she had already committed even though it was only in her head.

The Guardian Angel Project

And miss all the excitement? Even the octopus arms wouldn't want to miss this rematch.

The Guardian Angel Project

Cade maintained a steady pace, easy enough for anyone to follow without getting lost. He hadn't realized how lost in his thoughts he had become until his concentration was broken by a voice. Glancing sideways he looked at the speaker, the strange one with the hood. The power belonging to this guardian escaped him, but after a moment he finally remembered the guy's name. "Rao, isn't it?" His slyness began to evaporate, recognizing that he might have given the new kids the wrong impression. "Don't worry about overstepping anything, I don't." Cade shrugged and returned his gaze forward, keeping his steps calm and steady. "I wanted it to be a surprise but you're right, you do have a right to know." He continued walking forward, glancing back to keep an eye on all of his followers, like a shepherd herding sheep. "As you already know, the entire group you see behind you will be split up into two teams. I can't handle you all by myself, in fact I think I was the back up. I'll be in charge of Beta Team, which is certainly not a bad thing at all, but it means I wasn't the higher up's first choice as field worthy. You all wanted to see what an Angel was capable of so I thought it would be better if I showed you the best one to date. Alpha Team's Angel, Silvia Blackthorne.

The Guardian Angel Project

Cade's face fell as Rebecca called him out to show off, holding back the urge to respond with his usual inappropriate comments. With a sigh he let his hands fall to his sides, growing more serious as he did so. "If it's a show you want this is neither the place, nor am I the person to do it." He began walking towards the exit, pausing to turn and address the guardians once more. "You've all had a moment to say your hellos to each other. Get up, we're going on a field trip. If you really want to see me at my best, I'm going to need a little help." He motioned for all of the Guardians to stand and follow him through the door, biting his lip in anticipation. Cade was always looking for an excuse to spar with her, though he hadn't had the time as of late. His job was to watch the newbies, but if they wanted proof of his power, who was he to deny them.

The fragments of the shattered weapon fell to the floor, pale green eyes watching the wooden splinters of her sword fall. "Is there anyway you can do this without breaking the equipment?" The voice belonged to a man in a white lab coat with a clipboard in his hand. It wasn't the first time he had watched this girl completely destroy both her target and her wooden practice blades. He could never tell if she were doing this to him on purpose or if she really didn't know how to hold back, and her nonchalant shrug didn't help clarify either. Dropping the broken weapon Silvia reached around to the back of her head to pull her ponytail tight, a couple of white strands falling to frame her face. "How many?" She asked, her voice light in pitch but effectively emotionless. "Excuse me?" The male scientist looked at her with a confused stare, unsure of what she was talking about. "Tests. How many more tests do you have for me? I'd like to start my daily workout soon, if you don't mind Dr. Miles." Dr. Blake Miles exhaled in a way that many would have perceived as defeat. He was silent to himself, those who knew him would assume he was having an argument in his head. Suddenly he was standing up straight with a renewed fire. "Just a couple more, Silvia dear. Why don't you skip the work out today so we can test your stamina in combat." Silvia remained silent but nodded her affirmation to the doctor. It had only taken him a couple of minutes to locate and attach the small round sensors to her body for data collection. "Sir?" Dr. Blake looked up from the monitor and it's calibrations. "I think my sparring partners just ran away." She stated flatly, pointing to the window where a few men had been standing moments before. It wasn't an unusual thing. Many of them couldn't keep up with her in a fight, it was how she was designed. It was only the stupid ones that tried, but even then it didn't last nearly long enough for any useful data collection. Dr. Blake let out a yelp, running out the door and down the hallway in an attempt to catch up with them.

Hahaha, that sounds interesting. As I am a lover of science, feel free with any of my guys. Maybe it's the poking and prodding that'll give me a better insight with my own characters. I may be able to think of a lot of things about them, but I certainly don't know everything.

The Guardian Angel Project

Yeah, I'll let you know if something is off but you look alright for now. I'm on a field trip today to the aquarium so I don't think I'll have time at lunch to lunch check in. See you guys in the afternoon then.
