Experimentals

OOT: @ThatRandomGinger Yeah from what ive written the elites wont mix with each other except for locks and Xavier so don't worry about anything happening to toufin. Also I'm going to start writing a bit more.... I wouldn't say more maturely but its gonna get really dark and twisted. So no squemish peeps.
Locks pulled his body from the bed forcing his limbs to work. He dressed in his new attire, Lab coat, cackys, and a t-shirt. As he emerged from his living space he slumped down into his chair at his desk. The door opened just moments later and Xavier rushed in carrying a box haphazardly stuffed with paper. Loose sheets flew off the pile scatering and leaving a trail behind him. As soon as he realized this he began to scoop up paper by paper snatching them from peoples prying eyes. He ran off out of site picking up more papers as he went.
"Ok then."
Locks grabbed a few random sheets from the pile in the box. They were all notes. If you could call them notes they were more the scribbles of a monkey on crack. Everything was messy and the ink bled together making everything impossible to read. He had a box full of papers just like this. Papers damaged so badly and written so messily no human could ever understand them. The doctor came running in and slammed the door.
"Locks lets get to work."
He slammed down another stack of papers on locks desk and began to rummage through the pile. It seemed as though he knew what he was looking for but they all looked the same. The doctor spread 3 sheets out on the table and ran his hand over it. The ink on the paper seemed to slowly reform words and equations.
"What was that sir."
"Sir? Terrible nickname I hate it."
"That was out of respect."
"Respect? where the hell has that ever gotten you in life. Do what you want and only what you want. I never cared about anyone or respected them and neither did you. Now look where we are. Were top scientists for a multi-billion dollar project."
Locks thought these words over. He was right. Empathy. Respect. Fear. Caring. These things all held him back and now that he was free he had no limits.
"Back to your question. I'm an experiment although I did this to myself. I can manipulate pen ink and give it living qualities. Stupid power at first glance but if you see what it can do."
Ink dripped from his pen and formed a dagger then the dagger formed a snake and slithered around the room. It shot at a nurse and went down her throat. Spikes of ink shot out of her neck and limbs. Blood dripped down her skin that was slowly turning pale. Her eyes rolled into the back of here head and she let out a heart wrenching scream of pain. Blood spurted from her mouth like the spout of a whale and her limbs ripped off flying in multiple directions She was dead within a matter of 10 seconds.
"Lovely I've always wanted to see if that would work."
"Interesting."
Xavier closed the door again and walked back to the table.
"Choose one I've been working on these equations for a few months now. Each one could make an experiment but with a power we'll have no knowledge of. Choose wisely. Their not complete by the way you have to do some work."

 

Gevaudan held her gaze - his eyes were large and soulful. "I promise. I swear on my life I won't hurt you or let anyone hurt you. And I promise we'll find your brother. Can you walk?"

Stalk's phone rang again. He picked it up.
"Yeah. Uh-huh. Good to know. Good to - ok. Yeah. Will do. How very? I see. Goodbye."
He hung up.
"If we're going to go on a hunt for answers, I know a good place to start. We need to find a man called Zed. He's Leah's brother."

 

Gevaudan nodded.
"And I do know where to find him. Just come on and I can show you him. Please. I can help you but you have to let me. No kicking or screaming."

 

“Well, if that’s the case, then standing here won’t help us. We need to find this guy, and hopefully he can give us some answers.”

Zach led the three into the city. He was still very much on high alert, although for the moment, it seemed like they were safe. Looking around, he never really did notice much of the city. When he was in college, he enjoyed trips to the city with friends, and with his parents when they were with him. As he was looking around, he noticed that something was playing on a few tv screens in some windows. Apparently there were reports of strange activity going on in a part of the city. The city was trying to blow it off as something else, but he knew better. Zach had a feeling that it could possibly be an experiment, and it could lead them to Zed.

“Guys, I think we may have a clue as to where Zed is. Apparently in another part of the city, strange activity has been going on. This may be the clue we need.” Zach said, hoping that it was indeed the clue they needed.

 

Claus looked carefully at the TV that Zach was talking about.
"This area...there wasn't any information on it at all when I made my way into their systems back at the laboratory."
A wry smile came to his face.
"No information in the slightest. Isn't that odd? Almost as if they were trying to hide something. I think we should take a look for ourselves right away."

 

BEEP BEEP BEEP
The watch alarm set for 3 am had just gone off. He had been working nonstop for a day and a half no sleep trying to solve these equations. Locks rubbed his temples grunting. He cracked his hands and neck and started to work once more denying his bodied the sleep it so desired. He couldn't solve this no one could. They tasked the new guy of all people with trying to create a completely new experiment. The doctor opened the door a crack and popped his head in.
"Locks I'm going for a walk, would you like to join. It may clear your head."
"Sure I haven't left the labs in forever."
Locks through on his lab coat and attached his id to it. He exited the labs with Xavier and boarded a helicopter that dropped them and two armed guards in the center of town. They strolled down the street hands in their pockets and backs hunched over. The guards followed close but in the shadow so that they wouldn't be seen. They were rounding the corner when a middle aged woman ran towards them holding a child pleading for them to look at her because they were doctors.
"Please you have to. I can't afford it but please save her."
"...."
Xavier looked to Locks.
"I believe you have the proper knowledge of what to do in such a situation."
Locks sighed and stuck out his hand. A nearby trashcan lid turn to chain and began to spin around locks hand like Saturn's' rings. The edges sharpened and it began wrapping around the woman's neck. It began to spin faster and faster tearing away at the strangers flesh. Cutting bone spraying blood and leaving this little girl horrified. Ounce the head was severed the chain flew around it like a vortex shredding it to dust. Then it repeated the process to the rest of the body. The little girl stood there dumbstruck by the spectacle she had just witnessed. The chain shot at her and flew right threw her chest and then through the head. It shredded her the same as her mother.
"Flashy and Bold. I like it. But the clean up will be a bitch."
As Xavier said that a van stopped next to them and a cleaning team dispatched. They scooped up the mess and got back into the van. People began to flea from them.
"Xavier what are we even dong out here. This isn't helping me at all."
"You'll see."
They walked a bit longer and ended up at the ports he had spent so much time at.
"Give the signal Locks my good boy."
What did he mean by signal? Locks shot a chain into the air. Just then the where house he had trained in and the house that had belonged to the resistance exploded.
"How did you know this is where it was."
"Silly boy, did you think wouldn't keep tabs on you? So did that help?"
"A bit."
Locks said this staring at the flaming rubble with a large grin on his face.
OOT: @ThatRandomGinger sorry man it had to be done

 

"Does seem rather suspicious, doesn't it?" Stalk commented mildly. "Lead the way, oh intrepid leaders."

Gevaudan smiled and gestured. "Come on, our ride's this way."
An ice cream van was parked on the curb. The driver was wearing a clown mask, as was the theme of the van itself. The man was selling ice creams to children, but as soon as they saw Gevaudan in all his horrific glory, they scattered.
The driver chuckled. "Run, kiddies, run - the big bad wolf's here to gobble you all up!"
Gevaudan opened the back doors - draping a blanket over Leah so she didn't get cold from the chilled back - and helped her in. "Half, if you say that line one more goddamn time I am going to open you up like a present wrapped in nice bloody ribbons."

 

Zed wakes up in the cell, he turns his head and sees Ashley smiling at him.
"Got a message. . . . . For you."
"Oh."
*Pant* "Alphonse."
Ashley tilts her head
"So you have met my husband."
"Met is a good word, but I would rather use the words stuck with."
"So your travelling with him."
"Yeah."
*Sigh* "Okay, get into a comfortable position."
"Okay."
Zed lays down on his side
"You comfy?"
"Yeah."
"Well, lets start teleporting."
"Eh?"
The room starts to fade away, but replace with another room. Zed looks around the room, a lady sitting on a seat near where he was lying. A man pouring coffee into two mugs. The man picks the two mugs and walks to the lady on the seat and puts one of them onto the table.
"You should get some rest Ashley."
Ashley drinks from the mug.
"Thanks honey, but I think I'm onto something."
Zed looks at the Ashley who is currently dreaming with him.
"What you showing me?"
"The day I died."

OOT: Sorry internet was down for quite awhile.

 

"Good job," the driver commented. "You scared Little Red Riding Hood over there."
Gevaudan turned back to her.
"Shh," he said softly. "It's just banter. We joke around all the time, I'd never do anything to hurt him. He's my buddy, right Half?"
"Go, and fuck, yourself!"
"He has issues," Gevaudan whispered confidentially as the van drove off.

A few minutes later they drew up at a very large complex of some sort, and they entered the back way.
A kind beautiful woman greeted Leah as the back doors slid open. "You must be Leah," she smiled. "I've been looking forwards to meeting you. I'm so sorry if these brutes have scared you," she apologized, giving both aforementioned brutes a terrifying glare. "Come, come."

Stalk had gained a hood from somewhere. "Go," he said, covering his bulbous and inhuman features. "I like other people leading for a change. Takes the edge off."

 

OOT: *Crawling out of a hole all dirty and sweaty, trying to beat off alligators and other things* Did I ever mention real life is a pain?

Heading off to where the activity was going on, Zach led the group. He was hoping that they would be able to find Zed without too much of a problem, since it seemed like that was all they were having. Ever since Zach had attacked Leah, it seemed that problem after problem just kept coming up. He sighed, thinking about Leah just made him sad, since she would probably hate him now. As they came closer to the area, Zach noticed a change in the atmosphere around them. It seemed like this area of the city was a lot more tense, as if energy was waiting to be released and cause total chaos around them.

“Guys, be on guard. Something about this area of the city has me feeling uneasy.”

Zach then saw some posters lying around on the ground, apparently a cover up was the least of their worries. The tv’s around were still talking about supposed strange activity, and then something else caught his eye. Down a bit further, a huge building had blazing neon lights, and it looked surprisingly lavish for being in the part of the city they were in. Something about this building did not seem right.

“I hope my eyes are not playing tricks, but do you see that building further down? Seems like a lot of power is being used for all those lights, and it looks really lavish. I have a sneaking suspicion that we may be able to find answers in there.” Zach said, and led the group towards the building.

 

OOT: *Rappelling down the side of a skyscraper, being attacked by zombies with parachutes* Tell me about it.

The woman took Leah's hand and held it gently as they moved into the facility. "We've been trying to find you and your companions ever since you escaped. Me and my two... associates find escaped experiments and shelter them, keep them safe from those who would track you down and dissect you like the lab rats they believe you are."
She led Leah into a nice room with a sofa and a large TV in the middle. "I understand you must be very worried. We know your brother is still alive, and he's somewhere in this city. One of our best agents is tracking him now, with the help of a few of your old friends. Do you want to watch their progress or would you like something else?"

Stalk raised an eyebrow beneath his hood. From the dossier, he knew that Zed had a strong connection to darkness in order for his powers to work. Therefore, if he'd been captured, somewhere very brightly lit would be the logical choice.
"How do you propose we get in?"

 

OOT: Is trying to finish a boss fight against the dreaded english teacher. She is literaly zapping me of my want to right.

 

Claus waved dismissively at Stalk's question.
"Through the front door would be the most obvious choice, don't you think?"
Saying this, he went to a nearby ATM machine and pulled out a piece of paper. The paper was blank-- at least for now. Claus' power flowed onto the paper and soon, words and numbers began to form on it. It now held some very important bank account information on it that contained some funds he had "acquired" from his earlier interrogation.

The reason for this roundabout way of storing the information was actually a very practical one. Earlier, he had written it down on another piece of paper and used his ability to analyze and copy the information. Then he could safely store it within himself and destroy the original paper. As an added bonus, his ability would store the information perfectly and would always recreate it perfectly, which removes any chance of him remembering any details incorrectly. It was a security system and a fail-safe that was unique to his ability.

Claus then punched in some numbers, entered some information and a moment later, took a stack of cash out of the machine. He then changed the paper back to its original, blank form and put the paper and his money away. He then looked back to Zach and Stalk with an stern expression.
"Don't ask where that came from. It's better for all of us that way. Although I have never been to one of these establishments, I have it on good authority that places like this have a way opening themselves up to people who are willing to use bribes."
He made his way to the entrance and approached the man guarding the front door. He put on a convincing smile and spoke in a friendly, aloof way.
"Hey there, my friends and I are looking to have a good time tonight and this looks like just the place."
He pulled out a few bills from his pocket and waved them around.
"We just came into some money recently and, well, it's starting to burn the nastiest hole in my pocket. Know what I mean?"

 

“Well Claus, at least it got us in. There has to be something around here that can tell us about where to find Zed.” Zach said as he looked around

The hotel itself was very lavish. It was almost like a five star hotel you would find in a big city. Zach saw what looked to be like regular employees doing their jobs, customer service, taking bags up to rooms. Of course, the clientele was of the night crowd, especially with the way they were dressed. If Leah were dressed like this… Zach got rid of those thoughts, he had to concentrate on the task at hand. Then Zach noticed something quite different from many of the regular furnishings in the hotel. There were two computer terminals over in a corner, and it looked like both the clients and employees were using them, but they seemed really strange to be in a hotel.

“Excuse me, could you tell me what those two terminals in the corner are used for?” Zach asked one of the employees at the desk.

“Certainly. They have access to many different accounts of our clients; they are high rollers. They also can give you information about many of the places in the city, and help you plan out what you would like to do for the day in the city. But there are certain things only employees can access, after all, wouldn’t want our clients to have to deal with the business side of things.”

This sparked Zach’s interest. He went back over to Claus and Stalk

“I think that those two terminals are a good place to look for information. Claus, why don’t you and I see what we can get from those terminals, using our own methods if you know what I mean.” Zach said, and went back to the terminal
