"He he he ya think?"
Chauncey murmerd to Ray as the other supers seemed to........... discuss? no they weren't talking, it was probably Ray's mind thing, that creep'd him out enough the first time.
Christ this was taking to long, it was breezy on the roof and the others were still just standing there, if no one was going to say something, he was.

"Of course I was. And since you're all basically here, plus a few I hadn't expected, we can begin. Great!" She made her way over to the hiding place and pulled the laptop and memory stick from it. "Just give me a sec."
She straightened one finger and put it into the empty USB slot on the laptop while pointing another at a blank wall. The wall flickered and an image of Catherine, from years before, appeared.
"Now, before I play this I want you all to know something. You aren't the first supers. This has happened before. And what I'm about to show you is from the last time it happened. You all might have seen most of this before anyway. And I'm sure you all disregarded it as a hoax." The video file began to play.
The supers looked around, then Ray spoke up. "What the hell does this have to do with us?"
"The city that all that happened in was going to be destroyed. And it would have been if it wasn't for the few supers there. So now that supers have appeared here, Threewords and I think that this city and everyone in it is in danger." She paused, then added "That includes all of you," for the more egotistic among the supers. "And running away won't work. Trust me, I tried that and it's failed."

The video file cut out in a blur and Catherine stepped to the front. "Make of that what you will... But the place where that was filmed was destroyed and the person behind it's destruction was killed." I think... "Er... So, questions?"Video file said:

"So... these people, who you haven't named yet, they want to kill the supers..." Ryan said slowly. "I would imagine that if they didn't know any supers lived here then they wouldn't be trying to kill us." He paused, looking Supergirl squarely in the eye. "Wouldn't it have been easier, and safer for everyone, including all the thousands of 'normal' people who live here, to just not let them know we existed?"
"They would have found out anyway. I don't doubt that they knew about your powers long before you did."
"Wait... how?" Ryan asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice. "I only found out about them a few months ago, because i fell through a park bench. I don't even know how it started, or where i got it. It just, happened. How could 'They' have known about it before? Do they have little chips inside my brain or something?" He knew he was sounding more and more annoying and paranoid by the second, but he couldn't help it. This was just too weird.
ThreeWords had remained quiet, his input unneeded, but now there was a question to which he had the best answer.
"To be honest, we don't know how the Company know what they know, but somehow they do. Two years ago, they had a small army in place in a matter of hours, and I don't doubt they could do that now. They only possible reason is that the manifestation of powers has yet to reach a level which shows up on their surveys. That, or they're waiting for something."

"Well, I'd say Supergirl's antics have demonstrated a fairly large manifestation of power." said Ryan, sighing in resignation. He relaxed a bit, looking around the group, his eyes once again stopping on the demon guy for a few seconds before he looked back to Supergirl. "I'm Ryan, and this is Amy. That's Shifty." He motioned to Shifty, who was standing behind them. "We... came to you for help... but i guess you need ours now?"
ThreeWords nodded and smiled "Supergirl and myself have had powers since the last manifestation, but we're nothing compared to what's coming. If it's anything like last time, hundreds of people will gain powers. You lot," he gestured to the group, "are only the beginning"
"As for your help, that's up to Supergirl. I have no specific purpose at this time"
"As for your help, that's up to Supergirl. I have no specific purpose at this time"
Sure, you're welcome. PM me a character sheet, and I'll have you in as soon as possible!Grimheart said:
As the group discussed, Amy found herself drifting away mentally, thinking of her past. Her psychiatrist had called her 'super' when she was younger. He was a balding man, with rectangular glasses and a rather friendly demeanor. But sometimes, when she described her abilities and her fears, his face would darken and abandon its gentle smile, and she would regret sharing. Had he known the whole time? Known and not helped me at all?
"As for your help, that's up to Supergirl. I have no specific purpose at this time." Amy's gazed shifted toward Supergirl, and she spoke up as the business-like man went silent.
"I'm willing to help, whatever you need me to do." Her mind was on her father and brothers. If there were other people in the world as dangerous as her... She had to do something.

Ray glance over towards Ryan
"well, seeing as you were kinda enough to share your name, im Ray" he says to Ryan breaking the telepathic link "seeing as you guys are a little bit uncomfortable with the whole mind chatter thing i guess I'll cut that out"
the dark energy flashes in Rays eye's
"im sure I'll find another way to freak you out" Ray say's jokingly

"I guess I do. But you'll stand to gain something with me and Threewords tagging along with you after all."
"I'm willing to help, whatever you need me to do."
"Until whatever happens happens I need you all to be as subtle as possible." She looked around the few, stressing her next words to the supers she had seen earlier. "Subtle. As. Possible. Which means no super fights, no exploding bins, no super power assisted crime. Which brings me to you..." She turned to Chauncey, "You're manifestation is hardly secret and if you go berserk it'll be even harder to hide. Disguise looks like the only option for now until we can get something better."

Ray removes the cigar from his mouth and throws it off the roof.
"i could act as a communication and information unit, after all the telepathy works fine and i have yet to find an effective use for memory reading"

just PM`ed my character sheet sorry about not joining as quick as I could I thought it was full so I did`nt want to but if threewords insists I guess I have no choice
terry walked down the street trying to not draw attention a feat which was near impossible in his full black suit with a red tie, he had heard all the news reports especially the ones about this "supergirl" and he heard of the chaos caused so far he knew he had to get in on it as well.
"why let them have all the fun" terry said grabbing a random pedestrian by the throat and lifting him up with one hand he started to cackle madly as the two of them were surrounded by a circle of wind which began to pick up random papers and swirl them around, terry pulled the pedestrian closer and whispered one thing to him.
"it`s the end of the line" before sending a wave of electricity through him killing him on the spot terry then tossed him through a window into a sporting goods store terry stepped through the window after the man and picked out a nice hockey mask for himself.
"well let`s see them recognize me now" terry said as he stepped outside to see a scene of fleeing pedestrians all running for their lives.
"Ah I forgot how good this felt" terry screamed taking a big breath inwards before continuing on his way he took two steps before stopping he started to taste the air noting a certain quality to it.
"there was lightning storm recently,not natural either that has more of a watery taste to it and not a Tesla coil either that would taste no this is something made by either advanced science or which is typically from....a robot" terry's eyes opened wide with hope before turning to a twisted grin.
"you don`t get to run now old friend" terry laughed as he started running towards the source of the lightning slamming into pedestrians along the way.

terry is now wearing a hockey mask so you won`t immediately recognize him
ThreeWords had stood back from the conversation again, and had left his longer-range senses running, in case any advanced warning could be caught, should the company arrive in force.
It was therefore unexpected when he detected a huge out put of energy. The effect on the surrounding city was such that it was obvious that the power had come from preternatural sources. More supers?
He touched Supergirl's shoulder. "Something is happening to the west. Do not trouble yourself; I will investigate"
Without another word, he rose from the ground without effort, then flew away, toward the source of the energy blast. For the air, he could see the pattern of panic and fear spread through the people on the ground, and form it he could deduce the probable location of the source. He alighted in the street nearby, then walked calmly round the corner, to find a scene of chaos
As the crowd fled, before him stood a a man, incongruously dressed in a shrap black suit, red tie, and crude hockey mask.
"Who do you think you are?" he demanded, "Another jumped up sociopath, glorying in his new powers? Save me the whole "I'm invincible" monologue. You may find your new tricks aren't as good as you think against anything of real calibre"

I think Lupo ran into the sewers to escape.
James frowned.
"I'm not sure, but it looked like it was more than a little obssessed with you. Still at least it's gone now."
He shook his head.
"Anyhow, we should probably check out that storm. Our friend will probably pop up at some point, maybe it'll be a little more coherent this time."
