Finding their way

[Seer]

<< Night slowly turns into day. The Six and their allies found that the new day does little to wash away the unrelenting memories and changing touch of the terror from the night before.>>

<< but refreshed eyes, minds and bodies help to balance out the sense of danger that looms on their horizon. the begins differently for different members.>>

<< Karen has left Illustra...to visit Alycia Barnett, who has recovered quite well. Ana-Leigh and Delilah join Karen on this visit and Delilah has decided to offer Alycia the large office space on the 99th floor of Illustra to create anew "satellite office" where Alycia will be safe and more connected. She knows Alycia will not be immediately sold on the idea.>>

<< Bishop is in the War Room, pouring over the systems trying to pull up any data on NERVOUS. So far information is hard to come by, not surprising considering its a mystech strong hold. He's also checking news feeds on the the night before and as expected, media spin and COVER UP are the order of the day. But Bishop knows that information has a way of presenting itself when he least expects it. Reviewing last night's battle, He's also going over the stats of the individuals Delilah has pulled together. A creature sent after Silver Swan directly, and for the first time, something she wasnt able to overpower outright. The team pulled together in a crunch and Silver Swan didn't try to play solo but was this just a fluke or were they really coming together? Could they play off and trust each other with their lives? That's what MorningStar wanted to find out and Bishop was preparing the Danger Room for a test of that. They had a few hours before they were to all meet for their first official session. IF last night was the first start of the Six as a team...this was their first "pop quiz".>>

<< Richard comes to the 105th floor to visit Sharon. If anyone seems to be able to bring out the gentler side of Sharon beside Delilah, it has been Richard. That will be tested though, as They will soon be joined by another [unwanted by Sharon] visitor, named Andrew, who once again has taken it upon himself to explore Illustra.>>

<< And Mina is is growing accustomed to her new surroundings...on the 106th floor. She's not quite sure if she wants to stay here. The issue of the massive, curiously designed grandfather clock in the apartment once home to Alison Marble, still remains, among other things. She'll see Delilah and Karen in a while to discuss that among other things.>>

<< Even with the forming of a destiny, the individual lives and issues still manage to play out with distinction. Will the serve to distract or bring together? We must watch and see.>>

 

[Silver Swan]

Illustra 105th floor

[ Sharon was up, having just returned from a dawn flight. She loved flying through the air. She'd seemingly forget how she came to BE ABLE to fly while displaying her aerial skill and grace. Often, nearby birds, touched by her telepathic rapport with all species of birds, would instinctively join her for parts of her journey.]

[ After returning to Illustra's roof and going back down to her floor, she spent time just walking around, taking in the surroundings. the view of the city, dwelling on her situation as it was now.]

[ no longer alone. people who seemed to CARE about her. on the cusp of REALLY doing something to strike a blow to Mystech, not that she hadnt before, but the fist of combined efforts was so much more than even one determined hand. She actually LIKES Richard, Ana-Leigh and Bishop. It's a new feeling for her...allowing herself to once again appreciate social interactions with others. But she's not going soft. She's still who she is NOW and she does NOT tolerate certain things...or people...like ANDREW, whom she still couldnt understand the point of.]

[ she looked at herself in a mirror on one of the walls within the sprawling, multimillion dollar luxury apartment. SHe was not in her armoured form, but rather a silver tank and silver short shorts. She was in top feminine form. As she looked at her reflection...she was SO different than she once was. even her EYE color.]

[ But now at least, she knew who she was, thanks to Karen. They knew too and it didnt change anything. Even Delilah had changed her attitude toward Sharon and that was when Sharon knew she could be trusted.]

[ soon, she was in another area of her new home. having turned on the sound system, an instrumental of Whitney Houston's "I look to you" plays and Sharon exercises another talent, her beautiful, flawless SINGING voice.]

[ some song birds have come, perched on the rail of her balcony. They chirp along as if meant to be back up while Sharon sings. She's known for her pop elecronica performance as Siryn but when she's alone....she sings all sorts of songs. SINGING is what helps her more than anything...even a violent rampage against Mystech. The others began to realize that when they saw her perform at the Parthenon.]

[As she sings without reservation and effortless perfection, one might think Whitney herself was in attendance. ]

Lennox Hospital -private room

:: truth be told, this forced "R&R" was the most she'd had in ages. But the doctors let her know that she was not going to rush out of here just because she felt like she was "missing something" or that she felt like she was slacking, and so, she resigned herself to her recovery.::


:: Alycia doing much better. Clandestine Inc's guards kept her safe and secure, allowing her to focus on recovery and the doctors were all delighted with her progress.::

:: Last night, during the outbreak, Clandestine was exception at keeping the hospital and Alycia safe from any possible danger posed by zombies and the like. Today, she was visited by Ana-Leigh, Karen and Delilah::

:: In her private room at the hospital, She's sitting up in her bed, watching "The bold & the beautiful" and sipping on a strawberry smoothie when her guests arrive.::

Clandestine Guard: Miss Barnett, you have three visitors. Dr. Victoria, Miss Moreau and Miss Trelevan.

:: looking toward the door, the guards show the women in and Alycia smiles::

Well now...this IS a surprise!

I was hoping to surprise YOU by being out of here by now, but Dr. Shaw wouldnt hear of it. She's making me do this "the right way."

It's good to see you...all of you.

 

[Matrix]

Rich was in a wifebeater and shorts, cool and calm. He made his way up to Sharon's apartment with a platter of fruit and veggies from his morning spread. as he knocked on the door, he heard Whitney Houston inside. His Mama was a BIG fan so he knew all of her stuff. Strangely enough , he could actually sing pretty well. Nothing like Siryn, but he carried a tune in church well enough back in the day. Before he died.

He knocked on the door and waited for her to arrive, spread in hand.

 

[Silver Swan]

Illustra -105th floor

[ Despite the loud music and her own voice, Sharon heard Richard approaching the door and knocking. She paused for a moment, and all vocal accompaniment of "I look to you" stopped and the instrumental continued on.]

[ Sharon lowered the volume and went to the door, opening it. She found Richard standing there with a plate of food....so rarely did she eat or NEED to eat but as she looked at him she could see where his heart was.]


come in.

[she said as she beckoned him in. closing the door behind him. Her apartment was sparcely furnished. but then again, none of them had been residing in their new homes for long. But in Sharon's case, material possessions just didnt mean much to her. she liked openness & freedom more than anything else.]

[ Richard saw her balcony doors wide open and a few birds perched on the rail, chirping and singing happily. ]

[ Sharon didn't know what to say really. She was getting used to the idea of having FRIENDS again. So she just looked at Richard for a moment before finally speaking.]

I was...singing. It's something that I love to do now. Even more than killing mystech people.

 

[Matrix]

I was...singing. It's something that I love to do now. Even more than killing mystech people.

It sounded great. I actually like to sing as well. Nothing like what YOU can do, but what I am now helps me do reasonably well, and I sang in church before...I died. And Whitney is a favorite of my Mom's..

He placed the platter on the table nearest to where they were and took some grapes to munch on as he spoke.

It's not much. It's not even mine. But I wanted to thank you for helping me last night. So I figured you had to eat sometime, and I need to eat ALL of the time, so I would bring up some breakfast.

Rich motioned to the platter...and in doing so made an offering as old as barter. He offered Sharon in thanks all he could get his hands on.

....Thank you.


[ How often did anyone THANK her for anything? The little girl in central park did, so did Terra Save. She was not LOOKING for it, it just seemed strange to her. People wanted to interact with her? There was something to having friends again...and she appreciated his sincerity in spite of herself.]

I rarely need to eat....

[stark contrast to Richard, who apparently had a insatiable appetite. she looks at the platter and finally takes a piece of pineapple. gingerly eating it]

I actually like to sing as well. Nothing like what YOU can do, but what I am now helps me do reasonably well, and I sang in church before...I died. And Whitney is a favorite of my Mom's..

[ Sharon looked at Richard once more, then slowly turned her attention out to her balcony, little song birds were chirping and swaying gently in the breeze. those sounds filled her spacious apartment.]

[ She heard what Richard said...a piece of his past. the status of being "dead" to anyone who may have known you before and looking ahead now. she knew about all of that]

So you dont have any family here either. We're both starting from scratch so to speak.

Until I encountered Bishop and MorningStar...all I had were my little friends...these birds. They helped me make sense of things when I first emerged from my captivity in the Citadle. This city...that i'd known all my life was as alien to me as any place in a sci fi movie in those first few days. I didnt know where I was or how to get anywhere. I wasnt myself...I was more than a alive...less than dead.

The birds responded to me before I could even respond to myself. That part of my power seemed to broadcast to them. They understand me...and I them. They are my eyes and ears all through the city. They helped me...in many ways, including the fight against Mystech.

Now I'm here...and before last night, I wasnt sure I would stay. Now...I think...I suspect it would be better if I did. But I don't know why.

I don't like being tied down...

Rich understood her COMPLETELY. The circumstances were different yet the SAME in so many ways.

Neither do I. I have wandered around the country for 4 years already at least. My Mom is alive but she cannot know about me. I am not the same and I am certain, even before this past week, that Mystech would come for her. She won a nice settlement after my death and even though she mourns me, she is finally happy and safe. I will not risk any of that for my sake and until a day ago, I figured I would wander away from here as well.

Rich smiled a second at the mutate and then looked out the window before speaking again.

I see that the birds respond to you and I was wondering...wanna fly sometime? I enjoy it myself in different forms when I have enough energy to keep it up. Sometimes I am a sparrow, sometimes an eagle, sometimes a 'copter. But there is NOTHING like the freedom of open air. It helps me clear my head when things get me down and it beats walking by a MILE.

 

[Silver Swan]

Illustra -105th floor

[ Sharon listened and could hear the tightning in his body, the changing in breathing and heart beat as Richard spoke ofhis mother. He loved her dearly and it pained him carrying on this deception BUT it was for the best. Even from a strategic point of view, Sharon could see that.]

At least you have some small comfort of knowing your mother is alive and safe...and secure. You have a living link to your past. Your family. and when we DESTROY Mystech...maybe you can see her again.

I have none. My father is gone. My friends , one of whom was like a sister to me, Gone.

At first I felt so lost...once I realized what my new reality was. But then I felt FREE to strike out at my enemy...MYSTECH...with all the violence I could bring. I fear no retaliation from them. I think that's what Bishop likes about me.

[ Sharon knew that Bishop almost reveled in the violence she was capable of, while Delilah initially balked at it. It made her smirk a bit even as she sat there with Richard.]

[ Richard didnt seem to think it was strange that she had such a rapport with the birds. It was telepathic, an extension of her power. But Some people would no doubt still be creeped out by it.]

[ He asked if they could fly together sometime]

I like to fly...especially in the dawn. It's one of things I do to test my speed and agility. Sometimes birds will join me at various points. It's VERY freeing and unlike anything I ever imagined!

I...almost...FORGET that its MYSTECH who gave me this ability...

[ A few of the songbirds shifted and flapped their wings a bit as Sharon trailed off. Soon she looked back at Richard.]

Sure. You could join me sometime soon. But....how is it...that you can turn into a bird OR a helecopter?

[ She was curious about his power. Being able to turn into things living organic and INORGANIC even.]

 

[Matrix]

Sure. You could join me sometime soon. But....how is it...that you can turn into a bird OR a helecopter?

I honestly don't know. The theory that makes the most sense to me is that I was somehow a mutant all along and, combined with the chemicals that dissolved me in the water when I was killed, I was changed permanently. So now I can become pretty much anything I can think of. I can even be a different size of the same thing. The weakness I have is that I require more food to be fully effective. A LOT more food. That can be an issue when you have pretty much nothing.

Rich looks away for a bit, shame rising in his chest at being SO destitute. Sharon will notice that he has eaten nearly the entire platter almost absentmindedly. A platter that could have fed a small dinner party of 4-7 people easily. He looks back at her and smiles, puts on a good face.

In any case, the last couple of days has shown me that I do not take strong enough forms. I do it to save energy but, that is not fair to you. You will need someone to be strong WITH you when we fight THEM. So now I need to find stronger forms to take. With your help, I think i can do that.

 

[MorningStar]

Delilah was slightly nervous to see Alycia. They had had updates that she would be fine and everything, but she still felt apprehensive about actually seeing here. As if her condition would get worse just by it being visual. Karen and Ana-Leigh had wanted to go – and so had Delilah – so they made the trek together. Alycia seemed in good spirits as they entered her room.

”Well now...this IS a surprise! I was hoping to surprise YOU by being out of here by now, but Dr. Shaw wouldnt hear of it. She's making me do this "the right way." It's good to see you...all of you.”

Delilah wheeled herself inside following the other two women. She put on her best “scolding” face.

“Now, Alycia, don’t make yourself worse by trying to rush things. Just get well, no matter how long it takes.”

She came to a stop next to Alycia’s bed and squeezed her hand for a moment and smiled.

“But you look really good.”

 

[Ana-Leigh Moreau]

Ana-Leigh had wanted to see Alycia since the night they rescued her from being attacked by MysTech agents. It felt like weeks ago that that had happened, when in reality it was only days. So when Karen and Delilah stated they were going, she wasn't taking no for an answer.

As they arrived in Alycia's room, Ana smiled warmly at her mentor, happy to see she was doing well. Honestly, she didn't have any doubts. Alycia was a pitbull on a good day. But it was still nice to see she was doing well with her own two eyes.

Delilah: Now, Alycia, don’t make yourself worse by trying to rush things. Just get well, no matter how long it takes.

"With these cute guards around....i'd milk it. [grinning] Just sayin'."

A small joke to lighten the mood. It's actually pretty interesting how Ana-Leigh was so frightened and nervous to first MEET Alycia, but now she felt comfortable enough to call her her friend and joke with her. They only knew each other for a few days, but there was definitely a kin ship there. A connection between the two of them.

"But in all seriousness, it's good to see you well Alycia."

Lennox Hospital - Alycia's room

<< Karen sets a beautiful vase of flowers on Alycia's table.>>

Alycia has always been difficult to hold in one place for very long.

<< Karen smiles as Delilah admonishes her to follow doctor's orders. in many ways, Delilah could be just as maternal as Karen.>>

But I must agree with Delilah. Follow Dr. Shaw's orders. It's for the best.

Alycia: ::sighing, she she smirks and rolls her eyes:: I know. The rest HAS been wonderful for me. I just feel like I'm MISSING something.

"With these cute guards around....i'd milk it. [grinning] Just sayin'."

<< Karen laughed softly as she seated herself near the window>>

"But in all seriousness, it's good to see you well Alycia."

Yes, you do look wonderful. We're relieved that you're recovery has gone so well.

With everything that's happened over the past 24 hours, we just wanted to make sure you were okay. Of course we realize you're under the protection of Clandestine Inc...if ANYONE knows how good a job they do, it's ME and I know you dont like being fawned over but we were concerned.

Actually Richard, Sharon and Connor also expressed concern as well but the three of us especially<< acknowledging the recent bond Ana-Leigh had formed with Alycia>>.

 

[Artemis]

Lennox hospital

:: As her guests settled in, Alycia's heart was warmed. Not had the rest done her gone but knowing she hadnt been forgotten and wasnt viewed as a burden. It was this secret things that helped her feel better about this.::

:: she squeezed Delilah's hand::

I'll be good. I promise.

:: She sometimes balked at Delilah trying to caution her but she realized that it was always coming from a genuine care and concern. Delilah was good people. She had a heart. Her relationship with Karen spoke for itself and she found a fast friend and kindred spirit in Ana-Leigh. It was good to see the young girl's smiling face again.::

:: they all remark how well she looks::

Thank you all. I dont know when I've been able to rest and sleep so. I feel like I'm being derelict in my duties.

Last night there was a brief flicker of power and the hospital went on alert. Clandestine made sure everyone was secure and safe. There was no gunfire or breach of their perimeter. But i heard incoming reports from one of their scanners. It sounded HORRIFYING. Of course now the spin and coverup has begun so there's no point in watching the "news"

I assume you were all affected by it. You were on the ground...Mystech is getting out of hand. No matter what anybody says "publicly"...we know what's going on.

[ the things that other people might be concerned about didn't always matter to Sharon. If he was worried what she might think about him gobbling up most of the platter, he needn't be. After all, she hardly needed food now herself. Another change in her body wrought by the machinations of Mystech. As for his status of being homeless...again she "heard" the reactions in his body as he seemed to be ashamed.]

Why are you ashamed?

It's not your fault.

It's THEIR fault.

You've done what you had to do to survive.

You can't care what other people think. You just have to do what's necessary.

[ of course Sharon and Richard were two different people with vastly different outlooks. Richard, despite being street smart was far more in touch with his humanity than Sharon had been. Despite all the changes in her post mystech and now after meeting Delilah, Bishop and Karen...whenever a person showed signs of suffering or distress somehow related to Mystech, it always triggered that instinct in her. the instinct to fight back and destroy them!]

In spite of all this...

[ gesturing around her to the sumptuous apartment dwelling]

What's MOST IMPORTANT to me is DESTROYING Mystech.

The need to WORRY has long left me.

In any case, the last couple of days has shown me that I do not take strong enough forms. I do it to save energy but, that is not fair to you. You will need someone to be strong WITH you when we fight THEM. So now I need to find stronger forms to take. With your help, I think i can do that.

[ Richard unintentionally struck a nerve as Silver Swan stood up]

"Not fair!?"

I'm not WEAK, Richard.

Not anymore! THEY made sure of that! They just didn't count on me fighting my way to FREEDOM before they could turn me into a mindless creature like that....

<<FLASH!>>

<< The parthenon. The Pursuer, center stage, ROARING with agression!>>

[ she turns away and walks to the window]

I've stood alone before. I can do it again.

[ clenching her fist]

I don't want you or ANYONE ELSE thinking that I NEED help. I hardly need ANYTHING now!

[ If there was one thing that DID bother her...it was the fact that the Pursuer had prooved to be a MATCH, possibly moreso, for her. All this time, she'd torn through anything Mystech threw at her and even though she gave as good as she got against that creature, he didnt immediately fall before her...ANY of them.]

[ THAT was what made her realize there was more than a little something to this "team" Delilah was forming and while the care and concern being shown her was touching her on a level she didnt think existed in herself anymore, that combined with last night were both affecting her deeply.]

 

[Matrix]

Sharon's response was sudden and explosive.

I don't want you or ANYONE ELSE thinking that I NEED help. I hardly need ANYTHING now!

He took a moment and let it sink in. Then he spoke with a boldness that few would risk with Silver Swan.


Understood SS. But my mother used to say something to me that you need to know.

No one is an island. NO ONE. Not even you.

Could you have beaten that thing last night? Probably. But perhaps not. He took the measure of all of us. And I have a feeling that is will not get easier from now on.

We are ALL here for a reason. And even if everything you have said is absolutely true, how can helping ME be stronger hurt you?

Just as I need to get over my own feelings of inadequacy, you have to realize that you have new people willing to be your friend, to help you in this cause. Even if you CAN do it alone, maybe it will be more fun with the rest of us? Just a little?

Rich showed he got what she was saying about him and his feelings...he was hoping she would get it about her LACK thereof. And tossing in just a bit of Southern Charm at the end with a dollop of hope...

[ Silver Swan exhaled, jutting her lower jaw with annoyance as she continued to face the opening to her balcony. her silver eyes flashed with irritation.]

....


[ how COULD it. unlike other people, he hadnt looked down on her for her violent ways. he seemed to understand her easily. would it be wrong...would it take anything from her to help him in this way? didn't seem that way.]

No it wouldnt....

[ her fist slowly unclenched. she stretched her hand out and a sparrow quickly fluttered over , landing on the palm of her hand and singing a bit. ]

Just as I need to get over my own feelings of inadequacy, you have to realize that you have new people willing to be your friend, to help you in this cause. Even if you CAN do it alone, maybe it will be more fun with the rest of us? Just a little?

[ she looked up at the ceiling. just like the little girl had managed to appeal to that part of herself she [wanted to] believe was gone, Rich was now doing the same thing. there was no tricks, no attempt to control or subjugate. he was sincere.]


[ she turned around. looking calm as once again looked upon the young man.]

Perhaps it will be.

[ her tone was no longer hostile]

I can tell when a person is lying. You're not.

Delilah’s face turned grave.

“Yes, it was an…interesting…night for us all. That’s part of the reason for us coming to see you. MysTech sent a creature after Sharon last night. Luckily we were able to stop it – as a team. Karen was attacked as well by the “horrors” you heard about.”

Delilah put a hand quickly on Alycia’s arm.

“Everyone is fine.”

She smiled.

“We really are beginning to settle in as a group. Which leads me to the another reason I came. I want to offer you the large office space on the 99th floor of Illustra. You could set up a satellite office there once you’re better. You’ll be safe there – and you’ll be right there in the loop with the rest of us. I know we’re going to need you Alycia – this thing with MysTech isn’t going to go away anytime soon.”

 

[Artemis]

Lennox hospital

:: Alycia was listening and looking among the three women.::

:: They all knew things would get worse before they'd get better but apparently Delilah's first goal was really coming to fruition. The TEAM was really coming together. That was a critical step toward the ultimate goal.::

:: But then, Delilah went on to reveal her other reason for visiting Alycia today. Offering her office space in Illustra.::

And what was I before, Delilah?

Completely vulnerable and helpless?

Karen: Now Alyica, You know Delilah doesnt think that. This offer of her's is not only a personal gesture but one of stratgety! For you AND them. She and Connor, the Six are going to need your help on the legal and public relations side of this. NAMELY to keep them as anonymous as possible. No one suspects that the seeds of mystech's destruction are being sewn in ILLUSTRA of all places.

Alycia: Karen...I EARNED my space in Rockefeller Center. I've stood my ground, fought my battles in and out of the courtroom, faced down the ZACCHARAS of all people and lived to tell about it. Not to say that ANY of that has been a walk in the park or that there havent been risks. But I've done this on my terms...KNOWING those risks.

I'm laying here in a hospital feeling like I'm not doing what i should be doing and its making me ANXIOUS but I realize that If i run out of here half cocked I'd be doing myself more harm than good. The only thing worse than setting myself up for a fall like THAT is feeling like all of you are worried about me as though I can't take care of myself.

I wont have that.

 

[Matrix]

Perhaps it will be.

[ her tone was no longer hostile]

I can tell when a person is lying. You're not.

'Course not SS!! I keep it real.

He patted her on the shoulder and squeezed, then looked out the window as well.

Let me know when you are ready to fly or work out. I'll be ready. And thanks again...FRIEND. Sooooo...what do we do now? The day is young and I am FINALLY not hungry.

Richard winked and smiled.
