Gifted IC

[MelissaB]

It's early Friday night and with your excuses out of the way to get free of whoever questioned where you were going, you headed off, making small turns as you headed to your nearby AJRF hideout, until now you had been more or less just taught about your powers and how to use them effectively as well as how to keep your powers a secret from your mini Jessica and friends. You knew they had places all over but until now you were never taken to their HQ to meet their leader and become full members but you learn tonight you would be doing so.

Each of you is driven across town in a car or SUV, the people taking you there dressed to conceal their identity, wearing hoods and face masks so they wouldn't be recognized by any street camera that gets a look inside the vehicle. Slowly the night goes on before you finally arrive. Looking out of the vehicle you can see a rather unassuming building, looking more like an apartment complex and a cheap one at that. "We're here." You hear form your respective drivers and guards before you're led inside, once inside your escort stops. "Wait here, The commander will call for you when they're ready." You're told. It's the first time you get a moment to have a good luck at each other and a moment to speak among yourself while you wait you're in the lobby and it's rather clean and well maintained signalling that obviously cleaners still work in the building, it could be that it's merely a place picked to meet you but the fact you see no one else makes it more likely the building is owned by someone in the AJRF.

Time drags on, and after you've spoken to each other for about ten minutes the door opens to the left from an office looking room where a rather provocatively dressed woman steps in. "Come, the commander will see you now." She states with a polite tone, her red hair flowing down her back as she touches up her glasses. Despite her rather provocative dress she seems to hold herself rather professionally. Leading you into a room, lined with bits of paper and weapons and various maps and logbooks.

Once you're all inside you note there's no one else in the room, it's just her and she smirks. "The Commander will be right out." she states with a knowing smirk before you suddenly feel an energy around you grow before the woman transforms.Slowly she is lifted up into the air, hovering up into the air her size growing until she practically fills the room, tentacles sprouting from her back and her arms, her hair dulling in color and spilling down to the floor , creating a cloak that spikes and tentacles push through to write about before she grins down at the six of you.

Once you recovered from the shock of her transformation she regards. "Welcome." Her voice is haunting and emits a sense of dread a stark contrast from the soft sensual from from before her change. "I am the Commander, and as you can see, I share your fate should she ever find us. Tonight unlike previous nights you're being sent to finally strike back at the traitor that turned on her people and took over the world." She states looking down with a frown before regarding each of you. "We're intending to hit a small guard that is guarding a warehouse full of resources that we need in order to begin more major strikes, you'll be fighting trained soldiers that will not hesitate to kill you for what you are and won't hesitate to give you over to her. Remember what she has done and don't hesitate to kill to achieve our goal. Once you've secured the area, radio in and some of the humans sympathetic to our plight will arrive and begin loading what we need onto vans and trucks, the rest don't trust you yet, They need proof that you're willing to see this to the end, this will help that. I am certain you will prove my decision the right one. Before that however, Perhaps, you should all reveal yourselves to each other, it will raise your trust of one another. Then you can ask any questions you might have of me." She asks looking over you each in turn with a warm smile that seems out of place for her current appearance.

Sophina patted her mini Jessica, just saying that she would be out camping for a bit for fun. She had always given the same excuse, coming back with some dirt and a few leaves clinging to her clothes to make it seem natural. Leaving her house with her bag, she stretched lightly before taking the same winding route to the nearby AJRF hideout. She had not planned to join up with the resistance initially, but fearing for her life, and knowing that there was safety in numbers, she eventually joined. Tonight was the night that she would be taken to the headquarters of the resistance.

Seated in the car, she felt nervous about the whole thing, afraid that her mini Jessica had already found out about her actions. Feeling the vehicle slow down, she looked out to see a simple apartment complex, not much different from the ones near her house. Following the escorts in, she glanced at the other people who were brought here as well. Not being the talkative or active type, she silently keeps to herself, hugging her bag for reassurance as she waited.

Hearing the others chat a bit for a while, her attention is then drawn to the door on the left opened up, a bit stunned at the woman inside who was dressed in a rather provocative manner. Glancing around at the others for a while before stepping in, she was a bit confused at the woman's words before she started shivering, staring at the woman as she transformed. Her mouth was left agape as she couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.

Listening to the woman who was now much different, probably another person altogether, she gulped at what would happen. She wasn't a fighter at all. In fact, if there was a way to settle things without bloodshed, she'd much prefer that option. When the woman then said that she and the other people should reveal themselves, she hesitates for a while, unsure if she should start or wait for the others. At the same time, her curiosity of the woman was piqued and she attempted to scan whatever knowledge she could off of her, before trying to do the same for the other people.

Daniel would tuck his mini Jessica in for the night, mentioning a excuse of he was going to go for his usual walks,including a friend possibly picking him up to take him out of town a bit to see a nice little nature trail they found after they stop by his place to pick up some hiking gear, which actually had some backing for it since he even took his Jessica with him on one of his long walks before, he tended to be more of a nature lover so very long walks tended to be his thing anyway. Honestly he did not quite like the AJRF about as much as he liked Jessica's reign, anyone who claims cold blooded murder is a valid solution tends to have other things on their mind other than the good of the people, but they were also the only people he could actually head to get his powers trained so he held his tongue, as far as they were concerned he was just another 'bring the fall of Jessica' guy, though once this whole Jessica thing is sorted he is going to leave as quickly as he can...

As he walks down the street in his usual grey jacket, the hood slipped up to help with the slight windchill he would stop at a corner, as he checks his watch and taps his foot, giving a show for the cameras of him waiting for his 'friend' as he grumbles and even mentions aloud "ugh, late as usual, last time I am going to let him pick me up..." as he silently notices the approach of the car before it pulls up and he slips in, keeping his hood up as he leans forward to rest his head on his arms to rest a bit for the read, this also hiding his face from the cameras at the same time...

As he mentions they were here he would raise a hand to rub his eyes as he leaves the car and heads to the lobby, just walking in and separating himself from the others, sitting down in a corner as he tries to wait for the time to pass by, similarly to a girl he noticed he pretty much stayed to himself and silent, for the most part, keeping the hood down to partially hide his face as he leans back and just relaxes, listening to everyone talk among themselves...

As the women walks out to tell them the commander was ready to speak to them he would raise an eyebrow as he stands up and dusts his pants off, finally seeing what she was dressed in, he was not one to judge, heck maybe it was a thing with her ability or something, who knows. as he then starts walking to follow her similar to the others.

As she leads them into a room and transforms though he was likely among the few there that was not as surprised, he was fairly jarred at first but himself being a 'transformation type' as well to an extent means he was used to the concept of someone's appearance changing drastically so he at least had a bit of a cushion to brace himself on as it were, him looking at the now tentacle and spike covered women, wondering silently to himself if it is a different personality or the same one from before.

As she starts mentioning killing though he would be unnerved though he kept his mouth shut, knowing talking back to the commander was not the best of ideas... So he let her go through with her talking first, but this was not how he imagined starting all of this out, stealing from a warehouse and possibly outright murdering the guards, he knew it was kill or be killed but he was still going to look for another way.

As she tells for all of them to reveal themselves it would unnerve him a bit, waiting to see who does it first but he does decide to open his mouth and likely say one of the things some of them might be wondering "define 'resources' because I have seen that used for many definitions, it would help to at least know what the heck we are grabbing since I am sure some of us might have to know if we need to be careful in there since not everyone's powers are necessarily pinpoint.

Possibly the youngest out of them his overall form was rather thin, heck almost feminine in some areas, though his clothes covered him up, for the most part, hiding most of his physical appearance but his body language seemed like he was almost uncomfortable to be there, the grey zip up jacket he wore having a bit of a sheen to it, almost like condensation. The fact he continued to hide his physical form also helping add to the fact he was uncomfortable here, not quite wanting to be seen to directly.

Overall though he may actually be weaker than her if his build was anything to go by but not everyone's powers relied on brute strength though, so possibly that would explain his lack of any sort of work to tone up his body.

Danny felt as if his luck was finally turning. Ever since he had ran away from his previous life, he had to keep hiding. The AJRF being his only alternative if he wanted to survive and help make a world where people like him could live in peace without having to live in constant fear. Having joined up with them had been such a blessing as he was taught to use his powers, as well as to how to conceal himself from other's mini Jessicas. His own powers very useful in such endeavors. Of course, none of that could compare to this day, seeing as how he would now, for the first time be allowed to go to their HQ and become an actual member in full.

Having had no place of his own, Danny has actually for the most part kept himself alive by hanging around those showing him the ropes. Sleeping in buildings they met in and gathering his own food in the wild, or in some cases, having to resort to stealing, as regretful as that is. Now however, Danny was being escorted to the HQ in a car, everyone in the car concealing their faces, him included as to not be recognized should any cameras catch sight of them. Danny was using his hood to hide his face, but was still ready to turn invisible should the situation require it. Fortunately, the trip went by without any incidents and Danny was led into a rather unimpressive building. Being told to wait in a room together with others, Danny assumed they were here for the same reason as himself, to join the AJRF. Despite the good opportunity to get to know the other who intend to join the AJRF, there isn't much talk going on and Danny decides to follow the example and stays silent as well. Opting to listen to some music on his headphones instead.

As they're greeted by a woman dressed rather provocative, Danny quickly pockets his headphones and follows the others into the room. Danny can't help but feel a little bit frightened at the woman's sudden transformation but is glad that she isn't hostile.

As they're all told to properly introduce themselves and reveal their faces, Danny sighs but complies. Letting the hood fall back, he reveals his face to the others. With the others seemingly too nervous to begin, Danny takes the initiative. "I'm Danny. I'm 19 and have managed to escape from the watch of my mini Jessie. I'm able to fly, turn invisible and pass through things like a ghost." Danny introduces himself. "As for questions, I haven't thought of any yet, but might think of some as the others ask something."

While Danny's hoodie he currently has on obfuscates most of his features, it is apparent that he is well built and probably has some muscles on him. Despite this,
he seems to come off as a bit slim. He comes of as a rather direct person, although some irritation seems to be present in his voice as he speaks, making him seem less friendly. He doesn't seem like a person who smiles a lot.

Alex barely bothered with an excuse as he left the house of his aunt. He rarely talked with his aunt these days, though not out of any spite or malice. He talked even less with little monster that had been assigned to him but that was deliberate. Unlike his aunt he had nothing but hate contempt for it. Not that it knew. Even though he kept it at an arm's length, he made sure that little copy of the bitch was watered, fed and content. He didn't want to bring the attention of the queen bitch on his head after all, not without getting strong enough to end it's miserable existence first. So he played the role of the broken kid who had resigned to his fate. But Alex was far from broken. His desire for justice had been strong as ever, and tonight, he was finally going to strike back at the monster who took his sister from him.

Alex spent most of the ride thinking, about happier times, times when she was still alive. In her absence, those memories had became the source of his strength. Remembering them was painful, yet necessary. They were the only things left of her, along with her pendant.

When the driver announced they had finally arrived he responded with a simple nod before leaving the vehicle. Outside he met his would-be comrades-in-arms for the first time, taking time to inspect them each before his attention was grabbed by the entrance of the sultry woman with daring fashion choice. He quietly followed her like the other recruits, entering the room. He raises an eyebrow at the knowing smirk the woman gives to them along with her statement. Then she transforms into an eldritch abomination and Alex found himself fighting off an aura of dread. Recovering quickly as fast as he can, Alex listens as the commander briefs them on the mission. He becomes little hesitant when she advises them to reveal themselves, directing his attention towards others to see who will act first.

Useless introduction tidbits:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Tanya turns on the TV for her mini Jessica and although she loved the hell out of the little companion she had, she just couldn't get over the fact that the big one murdered her best friend. What was the old world saying again "a tooth for a tooth?" She contemplates it as tonight would be the first time she would have direct contact with the AJRF. She usually donates money to the underground encrypted websites whenever she got the chance.

Coming from a rich family, she never really had much to fear from going out in the middle of the night for parties with her friends. As soon as she finishes setting the Netflix onto her min Jess' favorite tv series she leaves the house. Outside, she walks towards the regular taxi that she takes halfway to the AJRF destination. She waits in front of a nightclub wearing a white dress with embellished with a dark suede leather in the shape of a dragon wrapping around her body.

She waits there looking around eagerly for her ride so she could get away from all of the drunkards staggering to try and get some of her for the night. "Come onnn.... please take me away" she says looking at a strange black 2011 Lincoln Towncar. It was odd to see one of those since the war nearly destroyed them all. She scrambles into the vehicle and looks over at the guys trying to hit on her. "Sorry... this babe's got her daddy to meet" she says blowing them a kiss before shutting the door. She loved to tease the guys since they were so easy to attract and hide away from since she was able to change her skin tone and hair color so not many would recognize her a second time.

The drive was long since they were leaving form the traffic ridden party place of the city to some semi suburban apartment complex about an hour away. She arrives and looks over at the building. "Hey, ummm... thanks" she says sliding over a twenty towards the driver that drove her here.

She walks towards the building and awaits in the crowd that didn't seem to be dressed for a party. She stuck out like a dandelion on a lawn full of weeds since she dressed to go out instead of being discreet. THe sudden shame bringing about a redness to her face before the door opens and her attention was brought to the woman standing there inviting them inside.

She wanders in immediately clicking her high heels as she walks inside. She was really grateful that the attention wouldn't be driven to her anymore since she absolutely hated the feeling of being alone and exposed. She would've brought a friend here but with the amount of spies going around exposing the AJRF and their associates, it was hard to tell who to trust. She looks up and just manages to note that the woman in a provocative dress transforming into whatever that thing was that she transformed into.

Listening intently, she bites her lips in anticipation over the fact that she was actually going to be using her powers to do some harm to the organization that supported the woman who killed her best friend. Upon hearing that she was going to be going on a mission, she looks at her clothing and rolls her eyes. She looks at the people next to her and decides to not be the first one to reveal her true identity backing up just slightly to change her skin color (obsidian black) and hair color (Light green fading to silver). She better play it safe in case one of them might recognize her from elsewhere.

When they were walking around introducing themselves, she walks up to the commander and leans in whispering "I need a change of clothes... i didn't think i'd be sent off on a mission this early"

Initial: She's wearing quite a fancy minidress and some high heels. Must be either working with the industry or just rich. Something about the way her skin looks in the shadows is off but maybe it's just the lighting. There's a pink highlight in her hair.

Tired.... sleepy... that's all Alistair could think about... it was so damn difficult to gather energy to do anything within the day. Sleeping in during this week he is woken up by his evening alarm. As the Jessica that occupied his room was reading lying about in a wine glass he was drinking from last night. He was only a month away from drinking age, but his parents wanted to drop him off an early birthday gift. Late the night prior to today he had shared half of his glass with his Jess, before pulling more questions on ethics and philosophy for her own and his own existence. Seeing that it was time for him to go to meet up and get picked up from for the secret meeting he made sure to pour some wine into the cup to give Jess something to occupy herself as well as the tv. "I'll be back later... we gotta refill on some food and I feel like walking. I could use the exercise after all." Alistair says as he leaves.

After some time of walking he eventually makes a few obscure turns where no one would be able to see him as he opens a portal to where he would be waiting. Walking into another hiding spot as he came out of his portal. Eventually walking out of the hole onto the street to be greeted by a car full of others close to his age. From a glance the others seemed to have been somewhat younger than him. Taking his seat as he remained silent with everyone throughout the ride. They all knew what would be occurring tonight or at least had some idea. Jessica's reign needed to come to an end... or else their society would remain stuck without ever progressing forward. Once they arrived to be greeted by a woman who had her own ability such as them surprised him. But fear was far from the emotion he head from seeing the transformation. Retaining his calm expression he glances at the expressions of everyone else.

Understanding what they would do... what this may lead to he accepted whatever mission he would be put into. It was interesting the effect the woman's voice had, but the sensation that was labeled dread was foreign to what a natural dread should be. If he was weaker or if she wasn't holding back the sensation would had probably been far more oppressive. Once he heard the need for introductions he decided to introduce himself after Danny had done so. "Kaid, Just call me K. I can generate portals as well as erase things from existence with my hands..."

There is nothing hidden on him. He is wearing some winter like cloths that could hide his features, but he is openly exposing his face to the group. As he speaks his name and his ability a faint glow and energy is generated from his hands.

[Steven kono]

Daniel would look around as he makes note of the others seeming to take a similar stance to be hesitant to reveal himself as he sighs and decides to be among one of the first to change his mind and give in as he lifts up his right hand to his hood as he flips it back to reveal the rest of his face finally as he sighs and lefts his left hand, the hand partially shifting into water as it floats "name is daniel, simply put the ability is just water manipulation" as he turns his left hand back into a solid one before putting it into his pocket, he did not reveal the full extent but then again she was not asking for that, just that they reveal themselves as he looks around to see who will be the next to give there name, his eyes going to the girl that seemed to have taken a interest in everyone earlier.

[the interest is referring to the scan.]

[DarkSanctuary]

Sophina had been silently watching everyone and trying to get a scan on them. Not much information to be obtained at a glance, apart from names, abilities and appearance, but at least she'd be able to better keep track of others.

Since several of the others had already introduced themselves, not saying a single word would be rude as well as suspicious. Seeing as the first person to voice out had also introduced himself, as well as the fact that he was now looking at her, Sophina timidly spoke up.

"My name is...Sophina. I don't think...my ability is really useful...but...I guess you can consider me...a scanner? I don't reslly have any combat capabilities and, my ability just helps me in, spotting things...that are hidden or easily overlooked..."

[Steven kono]

Daniel would give a faint smile to the girl as she finally introduces herself to everyone, him waving his hand to dismiss her saying she is not useful in the ability apartment, him chuckling as he interjects "heh, then again not everyone is suited to a combat roles, think on it like this, you can always offer comm support and keep your distance, telling us of things you spot with your ability." as he offers a suggestion as he raises a hand to rub his neck as he bashfully says more "I mean.. I would not mind having someone watching my back..."

[RavenLord]

I guess this is where i introduce myself.

Alex had been thinking about how much he should reveal of himself to his future teammates. Revealing himself completely was a risk, one he wasn't willing to take but hiding things could also lead to trust issues. After watching few of the others introduce themselves he had decided it was time he made his own introductions.

"My name is Alex and i hope you won't hold it against me if i keep my face hidden. My power is emotion sensing and i am looking forward to working with all of you."

She smirks and wraps a tentacle around you to pull you closer to her so she could whisper back in your ear and her voice made your blood turn to ice being so close to her and it. "There is equipment in a storage room across the hall, like i would send you there without equipment, it's basic so don't think you'll get anything fancy." She told you before she releases you and put you back where she had collected you.

The fellow gifted woman though transformed watches you all exchange names with each other and her though it's likely she in fact already knew them and it appears she's satisfied judging by the haunting smile upon her lips, such a smile it makes the very room appear like it's gotten a lot colder because of it. You all see her lift Tanya up into the air towards her face before something is whispered to the girl and she's placed back down the tentacle that held her giving her a little squeeze as it let go of her. With that done you slowly start to see her hair fall out and the spikes and tentacles recede into her body as she becomes smaller and smaller until once again the red haired woman stands before you, panting a little from the effort she used to maintain the form. There is one difference she now appears to have to hold her clothing over her body, likely ruined by her transformation before she looks to each of you.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Your scan seems to reveal that the woman is strong, also that she appears to be ageless, likely due to her body's ability to change and morph on a cellular level allowing her to return to the age she was when she likely first transformed, it explains why she is so powerful in an age where all the powerful gifted were killed by Jessica. She's from that era, she likely fought alongside Jessica at one point but you'd have to ask her for such information since all records were deleted by jessica's administration when she took control you'd be unable to find out otherwise.

She takes a moment to catch her breathe. "Sorry it has been too long since I used my powers, they have more strain than they perhaps should. I apologize for the dramatic display but if it you were sent screaming by it then you'd of never of been able to fight Jessica for she will show you much worse." He states before frowning as if a memory she disliked came flooding to her. "I understand most of you might not be direct combatants or be comfortable with killing but such isn't a luxury you have anymore, not since your powers came to be were you able to live peacefully, none of us are. " She explains before looking at Daniel. "resources; weapons, ammo and medical supplies for her soldiers and drones. You however aren't retrieving them you are to secure them so they can be extracted by the... sympathic humans we have working with us." She explains, a pang of sadness in her tone and you could almost feel the presence of her alternate self coming back. "Your task is simple, it's to secure an area and pacify the guards so the humans can move in and get the resources out of there before reinforcements arrive to push us back. it's hit and run, I advise you all take a radio from the supply room across the hall when you head out as well as weapons and equipment you might find useful. If you have a better way of pacifying Jessica's guards then you may not kill if you desire however i advise you think of each other before you place your team mates at risk because of your inability to see it through." She states before taking a folder from her desk and handing it to Sophina. "here from your powers you are best at guiding and see your allies to their objective so read this, it details the layout and likely number of guards and other useful info we could get on the place." She states before looking at all of you. "It's been a pleasure I look forward to your success. now excuse me I need to solve a wardrobe issue." She smiles and laughs off the fact she has to constantly hold her clothes to cover herself before retreating from the room.

The folder itself gives the address, three points of entry to the warehouse, the number of guards being two dozen, tactical information about their weapons and armor, small arms, nothing explosive and light body armor, clearly not the most advanced troops though there was a warning that an unknown figure has been seen to come and go from the warehouse and they were unable to obtain anything more. Three guard towers, covering all road access routes and where the supplies were located and the emblem of Jessica on them to signal what you were looking for.

[berserkerhorn]

Before Tanya reailzes what was happening, she was wrapped up in a bunch of tentacles that were lifting her up like she was a playtime doll. She yelps at the sudden change in placement from the tendril and blushes in embarrassment at her yelp. Due to the lack of focus, her appearance returns to her normal form (the one in the CS). She has yet to realize that she has changed back to her original self and listens to the commander utterly terrified of what she was going to do with her before realizing that the commander was only trying giving an answer to a simple question.

Tanya stands here covering her face looking at the commander as she changes back into her original form. About a dozen questions raced through her heads as she tries to remain focused on the directions that the commander gave her to change into more suitable clothes.

After her commander disappears her first instinct is to go towards the wardrobe if it wasn't blocked by everyone who saw her being lifted. She collects herself back together and pretends to have confidence. She strolls through the dissipating crowd and walks towards Kaid, Alex, Sophina, and Daniel shifting her disguise once more as she hides behind a rather large individual. Although her facial features were clearly unchangeable, her skin color fades to a pale white with light brown hair.

[Fantasy Fanatic]

"Well, I guess there's no turning back after this. I don't know about you, but I'm in for the long run, even if I have to take lives." Danny says with confidence, politely avoiding to look at the commander as she leaves to address her wardrobe malfunction. "So, what are we working with?" He asks Sophina who was in possession of the folder containing the information for their mission.

[Steven kono]

Daniel would try to not let the... aura of the women get to him since he got the feeling he was going to have to deal with people like that for awhile if he is going to be involved in this little campaign. Though when he sees her lift up Tanya he was a bit surprised and actually had to hold himself back from getting involved since probably was for some sort of reason as he then sees her placed down, though he could have sworn he saw something when she was lifted up for a moment no one else seems to make note of, she changed... transformation type? as he decides to keep this little detail to himself as he looks over at the women as she changes back now he would not look away, studying the transformation to see how it works a bit as he makes note of the more loose clothing...

But he would soon give her some 'privacy' as he turns away and hears her statement on why she changed into that form, a bit of a warning on the fact Jessica would be able to change into much worse... a detail he will make note of for future reference if he ever has to fight his Jessica... which honestly? he hopes he will not have to. as he hears her starting to point out they don't have the 'luxury' of not killing but he denied that statement, its not a luxury it is a choice... after all if they just go off killing guards left and right all it would prove is Jessica was right to the people. Though when he hears they are grabbing resources he was a bit relieved, since it was not anything to questionable, just standard supplies for people, something that would hurt Jessica without hurting the people. though he got the feeling the 'leader' was judging them silently by that statement of putting a guard down without taking lethal force would be a 'threat' as he got the feeling she discarded a moral code to try to not be as bad long ago...

Though when she left he would make note of the shape-shifting girls return to the group since he does not recall someone that looks like that being here before... but he keeps his mouth shut, if she wanted to pretend she was not the same individual that was fine.

But something unnerved him, mainly the fact that one of the group... Danny was it? would seem to be pretty much fine with the idea of taking a life "I have a question to ask Danny, just a rather simple one, what if they have families? what if they see us as the monsters? just because they want us dead does not mean by default death is something they deserve, maybe Jessica sure but does not mean all of her underlings are doing it because they want to be twirly mustache villains" as he made sure it was loud enough so others could hear and make there own judgements, he honestly did not care if he was a 'minor opinion' he was still going to at least try to make his point.

[Fantasy Fanatic]

Danny sighs as he is confronted. "So let me get this straight, you're questioning my initiative to join AJRF because of the moral implications we're destined to face for the belief of taking down Jessica?" Danny asks, suckling slightly while shaking his head. "Let me explain something to you. I lost everything the moment I realized I had powers. Before all this, I wanted to be a cop, an enforcer of Jessica's laws. So, I totally get what you mean, I used to want in to be in just about the same shoes that those people guarding those things are. However, the moment I discovered my powers, I realized that it was no longer possible. It was either get discovered, or play dead and leave. So I left, I threw everything in my life away, I have no life to return to, all because of Jessica's mad lust for power, we all know what would happen to us if we were to be discovered, right?" Danny asks, looking around the room at the others before continuing. "So, wanting to do something, to actually make a difference, I decided to join the AJRF. Of course, the way I see, it, it isn't a job or a position I take up for my own benefit or because I have no choice. I could decide to go out int he world and hide on my own. This place, is where people come together to fight for an ideal, this is a place where we rebel. And what happens when people rebel? They instigate a revolution. That's what about to happen. If we're in on this, we're here for the long run, meaning we're in for a war. And all wars have casualties. And unlike our enemies, we can not afford to hold back, meaning all of us are most likely going to have to fight at one point, most certainly are we going to have to take a life, and most likely more than one. When I decided to join the AJRF I knew what I was signing myself up for. I have already thought about the implications and I have acknowledged and accepted them. If you haven't, if you're not ready to put your own life on the line, or see this thing through by taking someone else's then why are you even here in the first place?" Danny questions before sitting down against a wall. "There's nothing good about a war, the important part here is to become the lesser of two evils. About killing innocent people for the sake of a better future, about all the guilt you'll feel? If you're not strong enough for it, fine. You can probably fill a position within the AJRF that doesn't require killing anyone. But remember, someone else will have to do it in your stead. And they will be strong enough to live with it, because they know that they're doing it for a very important cause, most likely for the best god damn possible future out there, one without Jessicas, because let me tell you, getting rid of that little bitch is the most satisfying thing to ever happen to me, despite having to abandon my own family. That is why I am ready to kill and give up on part of my own morals, so that others in the future won't have to face the same choices I have. Does that satisfy your curiosity?" Danny asks, looking at Daniel with a bit of a scowl, the matter having slightly upset him.

Daniel would roll his eyes as Danny starts to lay into him as he manages to keep a more calm appearance despite his words "I am not questioning your initiative, I am aware that we will likely have to kill, eventually, but does not mean you have to be actually seeming to be excited about it, heck you should understand more then any of us if you wanted to be a cop the importance of having limits, if we go swinging out there killing people left and right let me spell it out for you, we will be no better then Jessica in the public eye... a rebellion is a two part war, one part is the war with the people your rebelling against, and the other is a political war, having to get the people on our side since last I checked same as some of us who came here there are likely going to be plenty of individuals with powers out there who are too afraid to stand up to Jessica, and being some blood thirsty militia that slaughters people just because they got in the way is not going to set a good example for them..."

As he then raises a hand up and sighs as he plants it on his face "I am not saying we should not kill... I am saying we should at least have some limits to make sure we don't turn out to be as bad as Jessica and her goons since last I checked we are here to overthrow a tyrant, not replace the tyrant with a group of tyrants... heck did you just listen to yourself? 'killing innocent people for the sake of a better future'? that is a slippery slope, first it is kill one person, but that allows you to justify killing two, then ten, then this, then that...." as he sighs once more and shakes his head "see what I mean? if you approach this under the idea of 'anything is worth sacrificing' newsflash, you will lose anything and everything..." as he then shakes his head "heck I am actually shocked you are the one to preach to just ruthlessly do what 'needs to be done' considering your background as wanting to be a cop... that should be pointing out even more that not everyone in Jessica's army are there because they are 'evil' or 'see us as a threat' there are plenty of people who just wanted to live there life, or maybe they want to help others, or heck maybe they actually believe the shit Jessica is spouting... but the point still remains, we aren't killing armed goons who want the extinction of all gifted, we are killing someones father, brother, son, heck maybe they have a part time job at some sort of market or something, 'oh bye Mr Gregsy, it was nice knowing you but you need to die just because you don't see my reasoning''" as he looks up at the ceiling "but we would be wasting time debating the morality and politics of this, you said your piece and I said mine, everyone can make up there own minds after all." as he then walks over to a nearby wall to lean against it and try to get some distance from Danny, mainly since he was going to try to cool off but kept a ear out in case sophia had anything to say on the file that was given.

Danny lets out a deep sigh and takes a moment to calm down. "I never said I was looking forward to kill anyone. My enthusiasm is not for the idea of killing anyone, but for the mission itself. And I did not intend to come of as if I do not value the gift of life. Death should always be a last resort, what I was trying to say was that I am ready to take that last resort without hesitation in case I ever have the displeasure of having to face such a decision. Fortunately, my powers allow me to get by unnoticed, so I ma highly unlikely to have to kill anyone. If we're given stun weapons, I'll be really happy, because I know how to use those and no one will have to be hurt. But thinking we can get out of this without having to take a few lives is unfortunately nothing more than wishful thinking in my opinion." Danny explains himself.

Sophina was still silent for the most part, rather overwhelmed by all the different people in the room with different powers. Accepting the folder, she reads through it and frowns slightly as she echoed out what was written.

"Let's see...we've got the address. Seems like we have three points of entry to the warehouse. We've got about two dozen guards. They've only got small arms and light body armour. However, an unknown figure seems to have access to the place as well. If it's someone who has a power...the risk will be much higher. Three guard towers are positioned to watch the roads as well. The supplies we need to secure are also marked out with the emblem of Jessica."

As she was reading, she heard the conversatiin between Daniel and Danny and was uneasy as well. She didn't want to kill if possible.

"I...think...I might be able...to make an entry plan. Though whatever happens on the ground could change..."

The team seemed to be trying to figure out the morality of their situation. Over thinking may be a problem of there's. It was until one of them started spouting some idealistic point of view that could easily hinder their success in survival. The one thing Kaid wanted to maintain was a daily stability in his life. These people could easily lose sight of the goal due to their moral stances on certain matters. Hearing the supposed pear spout more of this nonsense was getting in his nerves. Kaid walks in as Danny finished his sentence. "You should listen to Danny before getting defensive. The risks these guards pose alive is far greater than them being dead. If one of them memorized your face how far would you go to make sure they not only put you at risk, but your family... Your friends. Everyone you involved yourself with will be guilty of haboring a traitor and a powered individual. So please don't let your ideology get in the way or the job. Or worst off get someone killed... Now... Before we can secure the lives our when is let's secure our own. After all its only a fiduciary responsibility we owe each other." he said a bit bitterly as he opened up a portal to his personal hidden storage to grab his mask and handgun. It was custom made owl mask(like court of owls) with voice module to disguise his voice.

He walks away holstering his pistol as he approaches Sophina. "I'll make whatever entrance we need to get in... Granted the best way to approach this job is to not be spotted in the first place. Least amount of harm and no violence. I suppose given your ability and information trusted to you by the head of this place, that makes you our leader. Think you can handle it cause I got your back if you need the help." he said trying to bolster the girl's confidence. The worrisome thing here for him was the group's highly individualistic natures of the team's members. So he decided to put his strength and abilities behind the girl who could effectively manage the team's well-being.
