«We Could be Heroes»

At the shout, he punched Firestein in the nose. For a moment he couldn't believe that he had actually done it, but shook it off. Someone came up behind him.

The world stilled. He could see the whites of the man's eyes through the cowl as he spun around. Something in those eyes made him hesitate. They were both terrified, both just trying to help their brothers, but it only lasted a moment.

Someone cried out, and Gage lunged. He shot his wing out and swiped him off his feet. He leapt into the air. Another soldier, six o'clock. Gage rounded on him and planted his heel in the man's jaw. Teeth cracked. Two down.
Firestein. After him! Another cowl. Land on his chest. Wind knocked out of him. Ow, my nose! You little-
Three down.
Firestein. Grab his collar. Heart beating. Sweat.

James Firestein lay on his back, a maniac standing over him, panting. The boy's eyes were wild, and his teeth dripped with blood from his nose. This wasn't the kid Nameless had told him about? What was this monster?
For two seconds, the Inhuman hesitated. Hmm. Amateur. He yanked at the chain in his pocket, but it was stuck. He yanked again.

Gage backed away, fingers still curled into claws. "Get up." He growled.

He almost laughed. "What?" He said, quickly taking his other hand and jerking the capsule out of the pocket.

"Get up!" He said through gritted teeth. The taste of rust, and with every breath he heaved, more blood came from his nose.

He squinted, "Whatever you say..." He said, and rolled over, grunting and seeming to strain to get to his knees. As his back was to him, he unclasped the capsule from the chain. "HERO." He swore, and leapt to his feet and hurled the glass pod.

Gage felt something break on his chest. Then felt the wet on his shirt.

Confusion flashed across his face for a moment. Then came the burning. Scorching heat that started in his chest cavity and worked it's way to his muscles. He shivered, and glanced up to Firestein.

That wretch grinned as Gage sank to his knees.

He could hear his breath, and his heart in his ears. His own muscles creaking amidst the roar of battle. When the fire reached his wings, he heard a cry such as he had never heard before, and never will again. As his face hit the concrete, he realized. It was his own voice.

Misty glances up, and watches at as a cloud of blood bursts from Gages chest and he falls.
Misty feels nothing, she turns her head as another soldier attacks her from behind, she leaps above them. "So you want more do you? HERE YOU GO" She stabs them right in the middle of the skull, she lands and pulls her sword out. She swings it, ruby droplets splattering on the ground, she rushes a the other soldiers and continues her killing spree.

Where am I?..

Am I trapped?..

Gage fell, does that mean hes hurt?..

Why cant I move my body where I want it to go?..

I want to go see Gage, I need to see if hes hurt..

Im trapped arent I?..





SOMEONE HELP ME!

Crow shook his head to try to clear his blurred vision. He looked around the edge of the flowerpot. More footsteps echoed as more and more soldiers poured down the stairs. I need to help them... He took a deep breath, then leapt into flight, flapping his tired wings even as his shoulder throbbed with pain. He saw Firestein at the edge of the battle, diving towards him. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Misty, a dead child clutched in her clawed hands. He recognized the mad glint in her eyes. I need to get to her! Before it's too late... if it isn't too late already. With that happy thought, Crow turned away from Firestein, swooping at his friend and running right into her face.

It was Gage. Zen kneeled down besides the grieving Rex, "Is he still alive?" Zen raked his eyes across gages still form. His chest was barely moving. Noooooo. We've been through so much already! He felt like crying but knew he shouldnt. Warriors don't cry, his father had told him many times when he was just a toddler.

Black feathers explode in Mistys face, she cries out and bats away the bird, wishing to kill more.

He felt like crying but knew he shouldnt. Warriors don't cry, his father had told him many times when he was just a toddler.

"Do I look like I know how to check a pulse?!?" Rex snapped. He saw Gage's chest barely moving and sighed in relief. "We need to stop the bleeding." Rex said, looking around for something to use.

Gabriel glanced at Noel. "She did the thing again, didn't she?" He asked, aloud for once. "You know, one of use could-"
"No one that looks..." He cast a venomous glance an No-Name, and grumbled, "Like my daughter is getting shot. I don't care who they are."
Then he strode off toward the Silence. "Let's just bust some bubbles, shall we? I'm in the mood for some revolution."

Sammy stood there, feeling slightly hurt that she was being ignored. She also didn't understand why Dryden seemed to be frozen, and why he was also being ignored. Did he glitch or something?... She slowly crept away from him, eyeing the dragon-girl warily as if to say, I'm on your side... please don't eat me.

Zen flinched. "I'm sorry its just...." His voice trailed off. He took off his plaid over shirt and placed it on the serious wound. "Medic, we need a MEDIC!"

Gage moved his head the slightest bit to see the blurred figures standing over him. Two? Or four? He could feel something trickling down his back through the pulsating pain.
His feathers dropped to the floor, and the arms that once held them had turned black, green, and started to ooze.
He let his head down again, too weak to hold it up anymore. How weird it felt,

to have your wings rot off.

Crow cawed angrily. C'mon, Misty! I know you're in there somewhere! He continued to flap wildly in her face, but made sure to stay slightly out of reach of her sword. He knew that the more she killed, the farther she would go. He had to stop her...
