«We Could be Heroes»

[RiverStorm]

Gage's heart started to gallop. No. Not again. This was just like how the Tenement Hall had gone. Aero's near death flashed before his eyes, Misty leaping onto five thugs, Tayn's poor face when she had killed Noble. He gritted his teeth. No Not. Again. No one was going to hurt his family!
He got up in Firestein's face with fire in his eyes. "Call them off." He dared.

"Gage," River growled as more soldiers filled into the room, cutting off the door and surrounding them. "Gage! There are more! We have to fight now!"

Zen leapt iinto action and tossed the star. It found it's mark on the first soldier. "Lets do this!!!" He shouted, feeling extra bold.

"Fine by me." Rex said and started shooting at the soldiers.

"Oh yeah." She said. River began shooting, her bullets hitting her targets right in the heart. Gun shots filled the room, and the soldiers began to shoot at them. "Thomas, now!" Blue light appeared in-front of some of the soldiers bullets, making the drop harmlessly to the ground but some slipped through, but so did River`s and Rex`s. "Okay guys, I can only stop some of them! You better watch out too!" River heard Thomas yell, giving a swift nod in response, she kept shooting.

Zen saw River trip and a rough looking soldier stood over her weapon pointed toward her head, she tried to regain her balance but Zen knew she wouldn't be able to move in time. He zipped over her just as the man brought the butt of his gun down square on his back. He grunted loudly as a sharp shooting pain coursed up and down his lower back. Zen stood up and with pain-filled eyes gave the soldier the punch he deserved. The man fell back clutching his throat.

Zen looked to see River stand up, "Thanks but are you okay?" She asked. "Y-y-yeah I'm fine, I'm going to be fine." He replied as the white hot pain slowly started to subside.

(hope you didn't mind @RiverStorm, kinda romantic. eh?)

 

[Rubysword]

Ruby kept her stance on top of No-name, but her face wrinkled. "What's an inhuman?" she queried.

(Oooh, that looks great to me! I`m fine with this post!)
River looked him over, as if trying to find some kind blood, wound, a bullet hole, a mortal wound, and trying to figure out that someone had just risked his life to save the likes of her. Why would he care if she died? Why would he risk his life? There must be a catch. There always was. Later he would want something, want some kind of pay back.
And she would wish she was dead.
Like always.
She looked around "I- I never saw that coming." She met his eyes, blushing for a moment, letting a little emotion out for once. But that vanished and she turned stepping back to stand at his side. "Thanks for that." She grunted. She shook her head, a drop of blood dripped down her face, she had hit her head on the floor hard and it had drawn blood.
She raised her gun, and began to shoot again.
She blocked off every emotion again, every care for her own life, only focusing on fighting.

Ruby kept her stance on top of No-name, but her face wrinkled. "What's an inhuman?" she queried.

"You are!" Noel spat. Then paused for a moment, squirming under her foot. Then realized at that moment, so was she. She felt something churn inside her, but wrote it off as being stepped on. She couldn't think about that now. But they did save you. Came the stubborn thought. Whether they knew you were you.

Firestein twittled with his chain, and a bead of sweat formed on his brow. "A sound? Wha? I-I mean, there is a musical establishment around the corner. What is it with all the aggression?"

Gage took a step back. What did they really want from him? Why were they here? They had come so far since the Tenement Halls. And little Noel. He cleared his throat, "We want to know where our friends are." He asked, though his voice trembled, "And... What you have against Inhumans."

At the word 'inhumans,' Firestein's, eye twitched.

Misty takes a step towards Firestien "You know exactly why" she growls, taking note of his nervousness. She looks at Gage with worry, then looks back at Firestien. His eye twitches as Gage says the word "inhumans" and Misty flattens her ears, narrows her eyes at him and lowers her body.

(Misty and Lao are going to kill me for doing this without them, but they weren't here, so )
Firestein's face became just the slightest bit stony, "You have been talking to them, haven't you?" He said, and sat down on the edge of the flower bed with a sigh. "I suppose you believe what they told you?"

Misty growls softly, lashing her tail back and forth

(Dang heart gives everything away :O )

Despite everything within his reason, Gage stepped forward. "You still haven't answered my question. Where are out friends?" He quivered, entering the man's personal space

Misty touches Gages shoulder, but he keeps walking towards Firestien.

The old man looked from River to Gage, then to Rex's gun, and was quiet for a long while. At last he spoke, his voice barely above a whisper, "I used to believe in you. Back when you were superheroes."

Misty blinks

( o-O I never realized that Gage was older and therefore bigger than anyone. ^_^ Little victories)
Gage glanced back to him, smiled, and nodded as if to say thanks, man.

(Mm hes like 20 something, kinda far from Misty's age but whateva still works out)

"My great grandfather helped free you all, back when you hid underground. It was just the most incredible thing to be a part of that." He shook his head and rose to his feet, getting into Gage's face. "But then I grew up."

Just as his voice echoed into the room, boots pounded out in the hallway, and within seconds, they we're surrounded. And who would be at the head of the group, but the young boy?

"Some of us are still trying to live up to those superheroes though, and you want to end it all. Just because you grew up doesnt mean you have to throw away your dreams."
Misty lowers her body closer to the ground and lashes her tail faster, her sword ready in her hand.

"Tell you what you want?" He said, his voice rising to the metal rafters. "Ha! Being a bit naïve, aren't we?"

"You're the one being naïve if you think these men can take me down" Misty murmurs.

Gage's heart started to gallop. No. Not again. This was just like how the Tenement Hall had gone. Aero's near death flashed before his eyes, Misty leaping onto five thugs, Tayn's poor face when she had killed Noble. He gritted his teeth. No Not. Again. No one was going to hurt his family!
He got up in Firestein's face with fire in his eyes. "Call them off." He dared.

Misty straightens up and walks out in the middle of everything, evenly spaced from her group and Gage and Firestien, she stares at the surrounding men, the child at the front of them. She smirks, then looks protectively at Gage, Good Gage, be the warrior you have the potential to be, be the hero in the movies. Be the one who eliminates the threat all together.

Ruby's pupils constricted, as memories came rushing back. She stumbled backwards, and curled into a ball, as faces flew past, taunting voices shrieked. "Oh." was all she muttered, in a small voice.
