The World Is Ours

Aug 26, 2007 04:52

Things had calmed now, on Madripoor. Or had gotten as calm as they were ever going to get on an island like Madripoor. Nate and Terry had stayed behind a few days to deal with the aftermath of their run in with crimelords of Madripoor, and now that the dust had settled, they were ready to move on ( Read more... )

Tom's quite grateful that he's immune to Sean's powers, not because he thinks Sean doesn't have enough control to only strike Sonique and Nate, but because despite the stakes in the situation, he still doesn't trust Sean not to attack him. He should, at this point, realize that Sean's top priority is the same as his, but grudges live long.

He can tell immediately that it's Theresa. He knows, look for birthmarks, look for anything to be certain, but he's positive it's her. Resisting the urge to immediately try and fry Nate, or even acknowledge that he recognizes him, he calls out quizzically to her "Theresa? What in God's name are you doing in Madripoor?"

"Huh?" She stares blankly at the man calling to her. "Do I know you?"

bastard_black September 5 2007, 13:57:52 UTC

"It's alright, Theresa, you don't need to act for your safety. No one on Madripoor will hurt you if they know I'm around. Come now, I insist you and whoever-this-is join me for lunch. I want to know why you're here." He doesn't let on how incredibly unnerved he is that she doesn't recognize him.

red_sonique September 5 2007, 15:47:54 UTC

"Look, mister. I don't know who you think you are, or who you think I am--" Her midwestern voice trembles a little. "But I'm not going anywhere with you. If you--if you come any closer, I'll scream."

First a mind-burning headache that hit out of nowhere, now someone who apparently knows knew Siryn. Spend most of your life being hunted, you get paranoid easily, and everything about this situation screamed 'trap'.

~Red...~ His mental voice was strained. This headache would not let up. ~Get ready, we may have to make a quick exit soon.~

"You're mistaken." Nate still had his head in his hand as he spoke. "She's not who you think she is."

Don't let him take me--

"Theresa, I'm hurt. You don't recognize your own uncle, who cared for you since you were a babe?" If she's this out of it, it could be a good thing for the upcoming plan - she doesn't seem to recognize him at all, which means that his powers could be a surprise defense, and she likely doesn't remember the abilities of everyone else either. But it still scares him.

red_sonique September 6 2007, 15:32:15 UTC

She backs away, pressing herself against Nate. "I don't know you, and I told you--" She inhales deeply through her nose, then opens her mouth:

"GO AWAY!"

It's escalating fast. She's flipping out.

A silent bodyslide behind Grey, and Domino makes her quick move to knock the little creep out with a precise blow from behind.

Counting on her luck to make it drop him.

the_new_shaman September 7 2007, 04:52:34 UTC

The flash of the bodyslide was all the warning he got, and it wasn't enough. Her luck held, and she hit him squarely. After a brief 'urk' nate fell to his knees, then dropped forward to the ground.

He was out. But with a head as hard as his, who knew how long he would stay that way?

marvel_citizens September 7 2007, 05:17:33 UTC

Hot damn.

Now, to chill Theresa out.

"Terry, it's okay, we're your friends. Saved each other's lives more times than we can count. We're gonna get you away from this creep..."

red_sonique September 7 2007, 10:31:05 UTC

Her next scream is even louder:

"NO!

Hot tears sting her eyes as she stands protectively next to Nate. "Get away from him, you--you bitch."

marvel_citizens September 7 2007, 21:05:06 UTC

Dom's hands fly to her ears as she staggers backwards from the force of the blast.

"Dammit, Terry, you're not YOURSELF! The bastard reprogrammed you into someone he WANTS you to be! He turned you into his own inflatable doll!"

Tell me I didn't use up all my luck...

bastard_black September 8 2007, 16:36:13 UTC

Tom's always been immune to Theresa's powers, and that's no different now, thank God. He doubts that that affirms that she's their Siryn, but he feels certain of it, and that terrifies him. "Theresa! Stop panicking and listen to us! You aren't yourself - you don't even recognize your friends and family!"

red_sonique September 8 2007, 16:47:01 UTC

"You aren't my family!" she shouts back, her voice trembling the air. "He is! Just leave us alone! That's all we want--to be left alone!"

marvel_citizens September 10 2007, 08:59:00 UTC

"We're not just gonna let you take the body and soul of one of the best kids I've ever known!" Domino barks back, making an attempt to stutter-step and get behind her to knock her out.

Her ears are bleeding. Her balance is a bit off... but can she get lucky twice?
