By the way, does our enhanced strenght + enhanced agility also increase our speed?
I mean we basically are at the peak of the physical condition that a human can reach thanks to enhanced strenght and agility so I'd presume we can put as much force into our running as a human with such physique should.

“Hey, guys, you should”– you tug at the webbing coating your foot, putting your back and great deal of your breath into it –“I mean, this is just”– god this shit is tough, it can’t be natural nothing nature makes is this ridiculous –“you’re just being silly…”

You trail off, breathing heavily in exertion. Okay, chatting these two to a standstill can wait. First things first. You’ve fallen and you can’t get up unless you get this stupid shit off your foot.

You grab the slack between your shoes and the floor and heave, trying to weave your fingers into every gap you can find. Your hands’re gonna be covered in sticky crap by the end of this, but you need to get the hell up. You grit your teeth, clenching your stomach up, and feel… something squeezing through the flesh at the tips of your fingers. At first you think the webbing is pulling your nails off, but it’s not – there’s something ripping its way out of you, bit by bit by bit.

The webbing snaps and your foot comes free. You get a good look at your hands, and – it’s, they’re, there are claws, you have claws, big black talons extending from where your nails should be seated. You gape silently. God, you… you hope they go back in, or something.

You turn your attention to the fight. You recall vaguely that Laura had claws, too – she said something like that, anyway. But she’s not using them. For now Spider-Man is dancing around an increasingly complex series of kicks and jabs.

You don’t think. You don’t have time to think.

You rush to your feet and throw yourself into the acrobatic brawl. Everything freezes for a moment – both players pause in momentarily surprise, and you capitalize on the brief lapse to grab hold of Laura’s shoulders.

Her eyes widen momentarily, a bright green ferocity welling up – perhaps unbidden, perhaps not – in her normally blank stare. More out of reflex than anything else (at least, you think so. It feels like that) she tries to rip herself away, but your strength manages to surprise you, and she stays rooted in place.

“Laura, stop. He’s not a bad guy.”

She snarls, her throat working out a series of sounds well outside of human range.

“We’ve gotta go. You can’t get involved with the cops.”

You can feel the blood crashing through her veins. Her heart is pounding, but her breath is long and measured, bulging through the night in warm tatters of vapour. She reeks of adrenaline – much moreso than Spider-Man does.

The tension slowly leaves her arms, unwinding out of her, letting her muscles slacken. She doesn’t move, though.

You look up at Spider-Man. Even through the mask, his uncertainty is obvious.

“Look… I can’t just leave you.”

“I…” Why is this even happening to you? This is supposed to be… Doctor Octopus or someone. Some goblin guy. This isn’t you. You’re not a great person or a particularly well-crafted person or even a competent person, but you’re not a bad person. “I’m just trying to help. I’m helping people. If the cops get my they’ll just stick me in some mutant camp in Arizona or wherever and the people I’m trying to help will die.”

You swallow, and say it:

“I’m not a bad person. I’m not…” You motion vaguely to Mr. Negative’s sweeping compound. “I’m not one of these people. I'm not a thief. I don’t have a master plan. I’m just a fucking hobo.”

The Spider regards you from behind those huge, bulbous eyes. You know, you’ve never really thought about it till now, but he really doesn’t look anything like a spider.

“I…” Did his voice break a bit there? How old is he? “I better not have to see you again, guy.”

Thwip. A line of webbing soars over your head, and, just like that, he’s gone.

You and Laura stand in the darkness of the street for a moment, breathing heavily, the last heady traces of adrenaline and fear clambering about your shoulders like tiny devils, leaping one-by-one into the invisibility of the air.

You met a superhero tonight.

http://pastebin.com/zFvxDsKi

>>27679417
Not necessarily
We can haggle with him

We brought much more to the table than was agreed upon. Creeper can now take credit for outsmarting the motherfucking spiderman by stealing a tablet right under his nose.

If we play our cards right, he may forget about the second deal.

>>27679558
>We brought more than the tablet.

But we didn't, we also lost two of his dudes.

>>27679577

We could explain that as

>"Fucking Spider-Man showed up, of course I ran for my life!"

>>27679417
We'll just have to make sure we do the job without getting caught next time.

So are we saving up for senses again?(We should have gotten a good wiff of spider man/his webs and at least have an idea of what he smells like.)

>>27679608
Probably would have needed to specify while he was around.

But maybe.

I do really want to get that next level of senses.

>>27679577
Dude, the reason why he did the entire thing was to gain favour with Fisk.
Fisk would be absolutely giddy if he found out one of Lieutnants stole the tablet right under Spiderman's nose.

He'd definately get rewarded for something like that.
If we play that against him, we MIGHT if we get good diplomacy rolls, get him to forget about the second job if we put emphasis on the fact that after such a flashy stunt, there's bound to be competetive eyes watching who'd love to pin the entire success on somebody else and we don't exactly want on the radar.

>>27679625
we will need it to know when that fucker is near by.

>>27679625
With our level of physique, I'd say that's a fairly good course of action.
That or adhesive touch.

>>27679628
We tried to make it one job and failed, plus we lost two of his guys.(also its pretty obvious the tablet is a fake or this super villain is retarded)
>>27679625
Yeah, plus the stuff should still be on our hands, why don't we ask laura to remember that smell.

>>27679656
The thing with adhesive touch, you need level 2 for it to be used for wall crawling/stealth.

>>27679671
No we didn't fail.
We still have the Tablet and our job was to steal the Tablet, not babysit his men.

When everybody else AROUND us failed, we pulled through against all odds.
If creeper asks, we can just say that after we got webbed, we sprouted claws and cut ourselves loose before the police arrived.

None of that is a lie by the way.

>>27679706
>we can just say that after we got webbed, we sprouted claws and cut ourselves loose before the police arrived.
Don't mention our new powers, all he knows is that we can go invisble and maybe have good eyes.
You do make a good point, but i see it as a futile action knowing his character.

>>27679692
We can stealth move with wallcrawling, it's just going to be dreadfully slow if we do it silently.

>[X] “Thanks.”
>[X] “Well, that was Spider-Man. Huh.”
>[X] Just go home.

“Thanks.” You breath it out as a plume of grey-on-black. Laura doesn’t answer.

The snow tumbles silently through the dark, falling ever-softly upon the house that Mr. Negative built to hide his expensive sins, over the van, over the men on the roof. General across New York – and likely much of the coast – it falls over the two of you, too.

“Spider-Man. Huh.”

“He was exceptionally annoying.” Notes Laura, still clenching and unclenching her fists.

“Yep, he pretty much was.”

You glance at your own hands. Your… your claws are slowly inching themselves away, receding back into the seats of your fingertips. Claws, huh. You have claws. A few days ago you were just the invisible guy, and you weren’t even so great at being him. Now you have all this stuff.

The snow falls. You wonder what’s happening to you.

A bit of claw-work is all it takes to free the driver. He’s thoroughly pissed off, but he doesn’t seem particularly intent on taking it out on you – he just wants to get out of there, perhaps almost as badly as you do. You hop into the back of the van with Laura and head off.

The ride is bumpy. Driver’s probably still working out some anxiety.

In the half light, Laura’s eyes gleam like tiny wisps, fires perched on the edge of mystery. She stares at your hands and, haltingly, reaches out to touch the ebony talons protruding from your fingers.

“Since when have you had these?”

>[ ] “…Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe always.”
>[ ] “Since five minutes ago, actually.”
>[ ] Write in.

Sorry 'bout that little delay. Back now.

>>27679748
Its on our hands and feet so some awkward crawling is the best we could do, but it does have other uses for us like hanging from a wall or walking upside down or making sure something doesn't get grabbed out of your hand.

>>27679779
>[ ] “…Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe always.”

"But they came in handy five minutes ago, so I'm not really complaining."

>>27679740
Dude, claws are the most common power as far as powers go and relatively impractical.
Also, it's incredibly common for mutants with ANY animal features to gain claws. It's rarer when they don't.

>>27679779
>“Since five minutes ago, actually.”

>>[ ] “Since five minutes ago, actually.”
“…Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe always, but five minutes ago they just came out"

>>27679798
He still doesn't need to know anything about us and our power was to go invisible not act like an animal.

>>27679825
Just saying, he does know about your weird eyes and your scaly bits. Back when you worked for him he had to have people brush over that stuff with makeup.

We could explain our theory on her powers to her. We've gotten all of our powers so far from people around us, and now we have two from her.

>>27679825
Well, the driver already saw it so creeper will know.

>>27679671
The way I see it, we have a few options.
1. Convince Creeper to give up on the second job.
2. Find some job that can't involve Spiderman. No hits, no thievery.
3. Find another mutant to do to do the last job.
4. Track down Spiderman and ask for his help.
5. Ask Peter if his line of work has ever put him in touch with a hero he could ask a favor from. He'll understand if we explain our situation.
What else?

>>27679865
True, but i still find it stupid to willingly tell him more about our powers.(the less he knows the better it is for us)
>>27679884

>5. Ask Peter if his line of work has ever put him in touch with a hero he could ask a favor from. He'll understand if we explain our situation.

>>27679779
>>[X] “Since five minutes ago, actually.”

>>27679779
"As far as I know five minutes ago. Seems I'm still going through some changes, but I've never heard of a mutant who keeps mutating, so maybe I've always had them."

>>27679865
That happened?

>>27679937
This works for me.

>[X] “…Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe always.”
>[X] “Since five minutes ago, actually.”

“I’m… not sure?” You grin a little uselessly. It’s weird – claws are weird. The feeling of her flesh against the keratin isn’t quite like anything you know. “I guess I could’ve had them since forever, but they just…”

You straight out your hands and just look at them for a moment. It’s subtle, but your eyes are good – the bone structure has changed marginally, incorporating something, maybe a set of sheathes or fibres for flexing or something.

“…They just popped out back there.”

She stares. Her fingers brush the gently-curving edges, and you’re suddenly uniquely aware of every tiny movement in your hands, every little quiver or shake carrying with it the potential to bite into her flesh. You suppose she’s not too afraid of drawing blood.

“You’ve also developed the ability to emit electricity, and, though you may not have noticed it, your manual dexterity has increased significantly. Your physical strength, too.”

She looks up at you. The van hits a bump. You feel a bead of dark red warmth waver across one of your claws, down your finger.

“That is not normal.”

>[ ] “Uh… do you mean the bad kind of not normal? Is it a problem?”

>[X] “Is it bad, doctor?”

“Uh… do you mean the bad kind of not normal?” You ask, a little nervously. You’re not sure you want to know if it’s something bad. But you press on anyhow. “Is it a problem?”

Laura shakes her head.

“I don’t know. I’m a genetic experiment, not a genetic scientist.” Was that a joke? You think it was. You offer up a small, easily-retractable laugh. “It is strange, however. While it’s not… unheard of… for mutants to possess multiple abilities, it is rare. Also, your powers are…”

She furrows her brow, clearly searching for the right word.

“…Haphazard. There’s little pattern to them. Is there any history of mutation in your family, beyond your sister? Your mother? Your father?”

“My sister isn’t ‘history’.” You respond, sharply. You feel Laura’s hands tense up and slip away slightly. That was kinda unfair, you guess, but… shit, you just don’t like talking about her. You suppose Laura never had to deal with siblings, being all cloned an’ all.

Only the tips of her fingers are playing at the points of your claws, now. She’s gonna cut herself again.

“Sorry.” You mumble.

“No…” She stares warily at you, her words forming like toesteps between shards of broken glass. “It’s… alright.”

You swallow again. You can feel her warmth travelling up your claws, edging at your fingers.

“Um, well, my dad’s only superpower was sitting in his study all day.” As far as you remember, anyhow. “And my mom… she was anaemic, if that’s anything. She never picked up any cars or anything.”

“I see.” She states, quietly.

“I guess… I’ve been getting all this stuff over the last few days, right?” She nods in the dark. Yeah, you’re not stupid. You have thought about this, at least a little. “Well, I’ve never been around this many mutants before. At once, I mean. Maybe I’m… reacting? Or something.”

“Advanced Adaptation is a documented ability.” Laura notes.

“Okay. Well, it, it could be that, y’know?”

“It could.”

You watch her eyes. She’s not convinced.

“You…” She clears her throat awkwardly. Her fingers retract. “When you explained your situation, you didn’t mention your father.”

Or for an unexpected reveal about our ancestry. Photo = opportunity for someone to identify = hello extra branch on a tree tangentially or temporally linked to the clusterfuck of the Summers Forest.

The possibilities are astounding.

“Oh? Yeah, I guess I didn’t.” Shouldn’t come as a surprise, really. “He died when I was little. I didn’t really know him.”

Something sparks off in your head. Hey…

“Hold up…” You unzip your coat, patting down the jacket beneath. “I think I have a picture with him in it…”

You rummage around in your jacket, sifting through the patchwork of pockets and ad-hoc openings until your fingers close around a set of photos. You withdraw them tentatively – these are, quite possibly, the only items of worth you own. Not of worth to anyone else, of course… but to you, they’re a lot.

You flip through them until you come to the pair you’re looking for.

“Here we go.”

Laura leans in, teetering over Lake Michigan and the boundless, stretching sands. There are four figures on the dunes. A small, slight woman in her twenties, the sun arching over her silly floppy hat, stands with her hand knotted into that of a dark-haired man just a little older than her. He’s smiling, or laughing, or something in between. On the left, a girl with his hair, on the right, a much younger boy with hers.

Laura points to the boy with the sandy blonde hair. “That’s you?”

You nod.

“Yeah… there’s another one, but it’s not a great picture. It’s some dinner party or something. I don’t think I was even alive.”

You glance down at it. It’s your dad, obviously, laughing enthusiastically at something off-shot. There’s champagne in his hand and he’s more… shaven than you ever remember him being. You don’t even know one of the other middle-aged dudes in the photo, though a little familiarity clings to a few faces - just not the kind you can pin down.

Laura stares at it for some length of time – long enough, actually, that you feel you should probably say something. You’re just not sure what.

She starts a little, and glances up, shooting you a questioning stare.

“What do you…” She pauses. And smiles, lightly. “Oh. Yes, you do. I will collect.”

Her eyes are drawn back to the picture. You glance down at it, scrutinizing it for meaning, but it’s just a boring dinner party photo. It’s just some old guys laughing about something and sipping obnoxiously expensive alcohol.

“Something wrong?” You ask.

“…No.” She reaches out and places her finger upon the picture. “Who is this man?”

“Hmm?” You lean in and squint.

She’s pointed out one of the younger fellows at the edge of the photograph, standing there with a decidedly stiffer, more awkward bearing, the champagne barely grazing at his lips. Yeah, you’ve wondered that too. He’s one of the more familiar ones. A family friend or something?

“Honestly? No idea. Maybe a…”

“…Work friend? I dunno. I think I may have met him when I was very young, but…” You strain your brain, but nothing writhes to surface. Just a whole lot of chaff – just sandy beaches, and the smell of rosewood, and fire thawing like ice.

You sit in silence for a moment. Man, that’s gonna bug you all night.

“What…” Laura’s voice is a sifting, awkward tiptoe. Like she’s trying to pry something open without breaking it. “…What was your father’s profession?”

You shrug.

“Well, I was… really young, you know?” She stares. You guess she doesn’t know. “I guess it was something sciencey. Whatever it was, he was always working on it. Basically all my memories of him are set in that dumb little study room of his.”

“I see…”

Another moment passes in silence. You feel your claws retracting, reacting to the lessening tension.

Well, that was sort of abrupt. Kind of. One dead father to the other, you guess. An awkward bridge but a bridge nonetheless. You scratch the back of your head.

“You know who it is?”

She nods. “His name is James Howlett.”

You know, this brings up a quite a few more questions. But for now:

“Um, why do you think he’s dead?”

She narrows her eyes, letting out a barely-perceptible sigh.

“I have been tracking him. That was my reason for being in New York in the first place. But every lead I follow seems to terminate in failure.” She bites her lip, just for a second. “It’s as though he’s simply vanished.”

Kinda.

The gist of it is nobody at Marvel knows how Genetics or cloning works and Laura largely takes after her mother. Hair, Eyes, pretty much everything except the claws.

"Vanishing, to our kind at least, happens sometimes. I'm not saying that he's alive, just that...well, if he's half as tough as you I'm not sure I'd jump to that conclusion is all."

James clearly means something to her, and I think Laura is worth giving a little hope. Also, wolverine is always getting kidnapped and experimented on or temporarily recruited by some agency, so who knows if it's even false hope we're giving her.

>[X] “He?” You’re pretty sure Laura’s a girl. Pretty sure.

You probably shouldn’t. You probably shouldn’t say it, but…

“…He?”

She blinks, but it doesn’t seem to faze her.

“His Y chromosome was damaged, so the facility simply reproduced a second X chromosome to compensate.”

“Oh…” Wait a minute. “Wouldn’t that end in total failure? I mean, you can’t just stitch genes together like that.”

Her brow rises into a rare vista of surprise.

“Yes, normally. But certain measures were taken.” She cocks her head to one side. “How did you know that?”

“Oh…” Yeah, JJ. How did you know that? You know you didn’t get that far in school. “I guess… I just picked it up somewhere?”

You shrug. You kinda thought it was a general knowledge thing, but, on second thought… you don’t generally know so many people that could tell you exactly what a chromosome even does. In fact, do you know any? A single one? Kevin seems kinda like a good listener, so maybe.

“Well, anyway, a dead lead isn’t a corpse.” You smile a little knowingly. Now here's a topic you're a true expert in. “It’s not all too hard to disappear if you really want to.”

But let her know that if she's trying to find her dad, we'll help out however we can.
