Mutant Hunt - RPG (Page 7 of 15)

Adrian was tired.  Before he passed out a semi horn blared.  He turned and saw it barrelling right towards Arnold.  What a stroke of luck.  Adrian cut off the power.  Arnold turned and was smashed into the grille of the semi.  The semi then crashed into a building pinning the robot.  Adrian fell to the ground and made his way to a body.  It was still warm.  Before he could take away the soul he heard a voice.

"You." He snarled. Adrian looked over at him, eyes wide with exhaustion.  This wasn't good.  Adrian was depleted.  There was nothing around on the street to recharge himself.  Power lines were run underground and there was no way he was going to get to them. 

"Been wanting to see you. You blew up part of the building that didn't need to blow up. Who nows how many innocents you killed. And you're a disgrace to the military. I'm gonna enjoy kicking your mutie ***."

"Who knows how many innocent you have killed."

"Innocent mutants?  What the %$&^ are you talking about?"

"Mutants who want nothing more than to live in the world midning their own business."

Noah came right up to him shoving the gun under his jaw.  "Tell that to my wife."

"Yes there are extremists on either side.  But someone who stands up for their rights is a terrorist in the eyesof the others.  There are mutants like us who only fight to live.  To survive.  That's why I do what I do.  For survival.  You want to know why I joined the military?  To protect the innocent.  And now looking at you I laugh.  SUre I may not be innocent.  I've done some terrible things.So blow my brains out.  But what about all the kids, who because they have horns growing out of their head, or there skin is spotted and blue?  What about them whose only crime is being born?"

Adrian sat and hoped his message got through.  Or at least delayed enough for some more mutants to get over there.  But if he was to die today so be it.

((It would be okay, if I was arrested.  If you do do that make sure to take Rev's character and fix him up for two days because he's gone for a few days))

Daniel Fortesque stood at the edge of the Black Hawk, peering down at the city below. He saw a battle going on near Freedom Tower and other disturbances elsewhere. He gripped his M16 and the M203 grenade launcher attachment securely. It didn't look pretty. The chopper touched down at an airport and some soldiers were waiting for him. One walked up to him.

"Captain Daniel Fortesque?" He asked

"Yes." Fort replied unemotionally.

"We've been expecting you. I would have suggested you meet with Commander Noah but...he isn't in right now, sir."

"Alright then. Give me his last known whereabouts and means of transportation." Fort said. He looked back to the chopper and nodded to his squad members. They would be called if necessary. They wouldn't be far. The chopper lifted off and Fort walked off the helipad.

(Going to be in Disney world till late monday so i wont be able to post till then. Sorry guys.)

Adrian sat sipping a water.  He needed to find some recharge point.  He was physically healed but exhausted.  He couldn't recharge in here.  People would notice. So for now he just waited.

Skyler watched Adrian with concern, he didn’t look well and it was obvious that he didn’t want to cause a scene in such a public place. Skyler had changed back to her redheaded form just before Zayne and Flip had arrived, she didn’t want them getting confused as to who she was.

Skyler looked at Zayne, “Can you take Adrian out back? He needs to heal.”

Zayne shrugged, “I guess so.”

Skyler turned to Flip, “We need to create a scene so no one notices what Adrian and Zayne are doing. Are you up for it?”

Flip smiled, “Anything for you,” he said with a wink.

Skyler smiled, “Okay then.” Skyler grabbed Flip by the hand and led him to a separate table. “Let’s begin.”

Flip lifted the menu and waited for Skyler’s lead.

She too picked up the menu and then rather loudly said, “What do you mean I can’t have the hamburger? I told you I’ve lost seven kilos, is that not enough for you? God, why can’t you love me how I am?”

Flip looked a little surprised then played along, “Well you want me to go to the gym to buff up. Look I’ve started for you. I was only trying to encourage you to stay on your diet.”

“Oh please, you just want a woman who’s a stick figure. I’m sorry that I’m too curvy for you. Maybe we should break up now.” Skyler continued and saw that they were attracting a lot of attention.

“You’d like that wouldn’t you? I’ve heard rumours that you’ve been seeing someone else, is it true!” Flip said as he stood to emphasize his supposed anger.

Skyler also stood, “No I am not. How dare you suggest a such a thing. My mother was right, you are a waste of space.”

“Me? I’ve had to put up with your temper and moodiness from day one. I deserve a medal for patience.” Flip said as he moved towards her poking a finger at her.

Skyler could see the amusement in Flip’s eyes, “I wouldn’t be so moody if you’d shown a little interest and attempted some romance.”

“You want a little romance, huh?” Flip said his tone turning low and slightly husky as he smiled wickedly at her.

Skyler could see where Flip was going and it wasn’t exactly the best way to keep their ruse going. “Yeah I have, why do you think I’ve subscribed to a book club? It’s so I can see what I’ve been missing out on.”

“Well if you stopped being a moody brat I would have shown you just what I can do.” Flip said as he took two steps towards her, took her in his arms and dipped her. “I can do romance,” he said as he leant down to kiss her.

Skyler raised her hand to his lips before he could, “We’re supposed to be fighting,” she whispered to him.

“Well push me away,” he whispered but didn’t look so keen for the idea.

“We’re over,” Skyler said more loudly. “Let me go.”

“Right now?” Flip asked knowing that if he did she’d fall and land hard on her back.

“Right now,” Skyler demanded.

“Okay, you asked for it.” Flip said as he let her go. Skyler caught the look of concern that passed over his face momentarily before he slipped back into character.

Skyler used her telekinesis to cushion her fall but acted as though it really hurt, “You jerk!” she said as she stood and dusted herself off. “I’m out of here,” she told as she stormed out.

She was out the door before Flip caught up to her. They pretended to continue their argument until they turned the corner at the end of the block. Skyler cracked up laughing, “You were great, well done.”

((would have posted this earlier but had to run. And again, Mel's posts cause me to laugh. I did like the 'pregnant lady' thing better though))

"God, I hate it down here." James muttered, they had been in the tunnels for quite a while, and James could see much better then he could at first, but it didnt make the dark, cramped tunnel any more comfortable. Arista stopped quickly, and James almost ran into her. "A little warning next time would be nice."  She looked up, "Quit complaining, were there now." James nudged her forward slightly, so he was standing under the grating now. "I'm going to go up first."

"Why?"

"Well, if you saw what looked like a demon come out of the ground what would you do?"

"I would assume he was a mutant, and see why he was in the tunnels."

"I meant if your a normal person."

"I'm not."

"Well what if you were?"

"Ok. I would run I guess."

"Thats why, and If theres a squad of soldiers up there I..." James trailed off.

"You what?"

"Nevermind." James muttered as he began to climbed up the ladder.

Skyler quelled her laughter and followed Adrian, “What is it?” she asked.

“I wanted to continue our conversation from earlier,” Adrian started.

“You mean about me growing old and you not?” she asked.

“Sort of,” Adrian said feeling somewhat awkward.

Skyler raised a hand to Adrian’s face, “I understand if you don’t want to pursue a relationship between us.” Skyler tried to hide the look of disappointment on her face.

The dissapointment was apparent in her voice.  He grabbed her hand and held it in his, laughing softly.  "That's quite the opposite reason I'm here."

She looked up at him  Now she was curious.

"I am willing to bring this relationship to the next level.  Some of my other reasons were slightly selfsih.  Only because I didn't want to be hurt.  I wasn't willing to listen to my to my true feelngs.  Which is a love."

He smile affectionately.  Shyly she returned the smile.

Arista looked around. “I really should call to see if anybody found the lost child.”

James nodded, “Okay but we need to hide.”

“We could have stayed in the tunnel,” Arista pointed out.

James shook his wings, “I prefer some space.”

Arista pouted, “There’s nothing wrong with the tunnels. But I suppose having wings would make it seem a bit cramped.”

“To say the least,” James said as he looked around them.

Arista followed his gaze and she saw an apartment with a ‘For Lease’ sign hanging in it. “I suppose we could hide in there.”

"Mhm.  Well I don't mind if you do it in jest.  You can stil have your fun.  Although it might be a bit cruel.  It seems a bit shameless to to flirt while you are seeing another person."  He walked over to the still crashed semi.  He looked around and saw his M4A1.  ((I'm assuming you guys brought Arnold back to HQ for repair.  That's what Rev said to do.))

"Face it.  You just don't want me flirting on anyone else."

"Well that's part of the answer."

"Ah so the truth comes out.  Jealousy is the prevailing emotion."  She smiled playfully.

"You haven't let me expl-"

Adrian saw a group of men walking right towards him.  Noah.  And he had some back-up this time.  Among the group was a man he recognized from the military.  He was a Marine and they had crossed paths in Iraq.

"Fort?  Is that you?  Long time no see."  Fort gave him no acknowledgement.

Noah spoke up.  "Hello mutie.  You are under arrest.  For several counts of murder, attacking an officer, and causing damage to our fine City of New York."

"What no lawyer?"

"Laugh it up mutie.  Bring in the girl too." 

"I'm sorry but I have a minority to fight for."  Adrian released a low intensity blast of energy that knocked them off their feet.  He grabbed Skyler's hand and ran to the nearest alley, hoping to keep them away from the others inside.

"Yeah." James said,  he had managed to get the shoulder strap to work well. Arista indicated the MP5 she had. "Me to." James looked at Adrian and Skyler, "Why, are they following you?"

"We, uh, dont know if they know were here...but you might want to keep your weapons ready."

"What about the others?"

"They should be fine. I think the militia is looking for us more then them."

James heard foot steps thundering up the stairs. He lifted the SAW and stepped forward, aiming down the stairs. A black uniformed soldier poped into view and yelled in suprise and pain as the shots tore through his uniform and his body. The man behind him was going to fast to stop and ran out into James' line of fire He fell down aswell, the third man taking cover behind the wall, and sticking his gun out, firing blindly. James felt the bullets hit him, and tear their way through his arm. He yelled, and pulled back around, out of the soldiers line of sight. Adrian moved up to take his place.
