Try to become invisible. I want to see if we are getting some Astral Plane jetlag.

If you can't, BE EXTRA CAREFUL. Our Enhanced Senses will not be functional.

Possibly, focusing on the thought of cops catching you could help.

The most exciting time of the week has come.
Also, here's a picture of what I think Creeper looks like.

>>28177206

Orphan Mutant street kids don't feed themselves.

>[X] Head home.

Gotta get home. Your hands – you need to get off the streets for a while.

Can’t go to a hospital. Can’t deal with bills. Do they even accept mutants? For all you know, you could go under, and wake up in a cell. Or with Laura’s handlers at your bedside. No hospitals.

You hide your hands under your coat and trudge off through the snow, into the scar. You guess there’s little point anymore – no one could spot the scales through all the burns – but you don’t want attention of any kind right now. What you want is to be home. Michigan, years ago, preferably, but the scar and your hovel and the Mutie Bunch will have to do for now.

As you pass under the long, leering shadows of the scar, you wonder if this is how everyone ends up the way they do. One-eyed Odin Joe and Toothless Bill and Scrawny Sam and the rest of the sorry lot. The old hobos, the old guard, the tramps with the gnarled faces and the missing teeth and the spittle everywhere. Is this how they become what they are? They’re young and fit one day and working to get back, back to real life, and then suddenly something happens. Something that destroys them forever, leaving only ruins.

You hope not. You really hope not.

You don’t know how long the walk is. Eventually you make it back to the crumbling apartment block and slouch your way in, cringing as you ascend the burnt-out stairs, revealing bruises you didn’t yet know you had. You make it to the door – you hear chatter die away as you pass the threshold, and the smell of boiling chicken excites your nostrils – and drag yourself in.

You’re greeted by a unified front of horrified stares. You guess you look pretty awful.

>[X] “Looks like you’re not going back...”

They’re silent.

You pull yourself over to the stove and sit down, your battered limbs complaining all the way. The scent of food has you hooked by the nose. The smell is… it’s not great, but you don’t care. You need to eat. You reach out to grab a fork and a gasp implodes the silence – you’re not sure who it is. You don’t care.

“John! Your hands!” That’s Noriko.

“Yeah.” You say, flatly, trying and failing to pick up one of those stupid plastic forks. Your fingers move like sausages and feel little else but the sharp, painful prickle of air dancing across undone flesh. “I think they need a doctor or something.”

Eventually you give up.

“I guess you’re not going back to that place after all, Layla.” Hah. Yes, this is all very funny. Your hands are mangled unusable fleshsticks and that’s also funny.

Laura eases herself to the floor beside you, picking up your discarded fork.

“What happened?”

Ask if we can talk about it later. We need food and rest.

I wonder how they'll react to the fact that in addition to invisibility, heatvision, wallclimbing, tazerhands, claws, super sharp senses and beyond human physique they find out that we also have a healing factor.

That's quite a list.

>I guess there was... some thing pretending to be a ghost. Or something, I don't really know.

>>28177549
There were no witnesses. While this is going to add fuel to the mutie burning pyre, it's not going to mark us personally.

>>28177549
Well, 3rd lvl senses gives us a shot of smelling wether he is spidey or not.
Then again seeing how there's been a rather lot of things going on with us being burnt by hellfire and whatnot, the chances are we don't remember what spidey smelt like.

>>28177520
All for this. Add that he was pretending to be a ghost. Followed by:
>[ ] “Then, I guess the second floor mostly exploded.”

“I guess the second floor mostly exploded.”

Yeah… Sacred Tree, it seems, will be out of business for some time. Which is something it may in fact share in common with you, if your hands are as bad as they seem.

“Look…” You begin, turning the night over in your head. The psychedelic hell-ride of wrestling with that thing bleeds into everything else, soiling the crevices of your brain. Every time you think back to that grin, or those barbed impressions of Laura’s eyes, or the wet, cloying sensation of clawing your(?) way inside yourself, you feel like the memories are overstepping their bounds somehow – tearing their way out and infesting everything else, turning everything dim and painful. “I don’t want to talk about it right now. Tomorrow, maybe.”

Laura forks out a few strips of chicken for you, placing them on a paper plate. She starts tugging her gloves off.

“It… it was the ghost, right?” Inquires Layla, her voice a tentative whisper, as if speaking of it will bring it down on you. Again.

You shake your head.

“It was something worse. And it wasn’t the kids – it was just, I don’t know…” Its voice echoes through all the black spots in your brain. God. “…eating them, or something.”

“Dude, I think you need to get a hospital.” Interjects Kevin. “Like, now.”

Noriko nods.

“Those are second degree at least, John. You need to get that treated.”

"I can afford the help, and Laura's friends know me. I show up in a hospital seeking help for horrible burns, and be a Mutant, im screwed in more ways than one.

Norikio, i just need some disinfectant and gauze, i'll be fine."

>[ ] No hospitals.
>[ ] Write in.

“No hospitals.” You mutter.

Noriko is the first to protest, leaning in over the stove and frowning deeply at your baked limbs.

“John, just look at your hands, they’re”–

“No hospitals!” You nearly hiss, clenching your firsts – much to your own displeasure. You take a moment to just breathe. “Look, even if they don’t ship me off to a camp, and even if they actually treat me, we don’t have nearly enough money to pay for a visit to the ER. I know this may come as a surprise to you guys, but there are downsides to being homeless.”

You let a little bile slip into your voice at the end there. You honestly – you honestly feel like you’re talking to children, sometimes. In a way you are. They haven’t lived this life like you have. They don’t know just how fucked up and sick the flatscans can get.

An uncomfortable, vaguely belligerent silence settles in.

Laura slides the plate toward you, offering you her gloves.

“Put these on. You can eat with your hands.”

Couldn't find any mention of the healing on 13th thread.

>[X] Accept.
>[X] Write in.

“Thanks.” You mumble, a little taken a back at yourself, and maybe a little winded by the silence.

Getting them on is hell – feels like razors against your skin (or lack of skin, you guess) – but they help you manoeuvre the steaming strips of chicken from the plate to your mouth. They’re grossly lacking in the salt department and somebody hasn’t quite gotten the hang of the spices, but your stomach doesn’t care.

“They are somewhat right.” Laura notes, quietly. “If your accelerated healing cannot handle the strain, a professional will be required to treat this. Under coercion, if necessary.”

Right. Urgh. You’re not sure you like the idea of… well, actually, you’re not sure what she’s implying there. You guess she means you might have to kidnap a doctor.

“Alright.” You sigh. “Sorry about snapping back there. I feel like shit and I have to work tomorrow, hands or no hands. And believe me – people can be some real assholes.”

Maybe its psychosomatic.

Remember when Laura suggested our powers aren't finished cooking and our invisibility stemmed from our desire to just disappear?

Well maybe since we chose fight over flight, we jettisoned it maybe.

>[X] Discuss something other.
>[X] Finish up your food and rest.

“Right… I know your night wasn't as interesting as mine, but humour me anyway.”

You finish your food as they spin a rousing tale out of getting home, dousing Kevin’s swollen eye with snow, and sort of milling about before putting food on. Eventually you find yourself swooning in and out of proper cognisance, and decided to call it for the night, slouching over to the sofa and pulling a duvet over yourself.

You don’t sleep so much as drift. The pain in your hands is too sharp, too grating, to let you seep away into the miasma of nothingness that waits beyond dreaming.

So instead you balance between waking and sleeping, the world not shrinking way, but becoming cloudy and indistinct, like so much mist. Shadows move on the edge of perception, dancing from form to form. There are sounds but they stretch over time and space, sometimes shrinking, sometimes swelling, something bursting out into thousands of tiny, muttering pinpricks. Your sister sits beside you, or maybe Laura, or maybe nobody. In your more conscious moments you assert to yourself that this must be where the dead go when there is nowhere else – not memory, or thought, but not action or substance or flesh. You imagine that you can feel them, close but ever fading, seething desperately against the walls of the universe.

Eventually, you find yourself being shaken, the material world clamouring into focus around you. The light has changed. Kevin kneeling beside the sofa, periodically tugging at your shoulder. Your mouth feels funny.

pls tell me we are not breathing fire and we did not just burn down the derelict building with our snoring

>>28178750
We got invisibility, i'm surprised we haven't tried to make those parts invisible.

>>28178757
Good thing we sent Laura to find another place to stay eh?

So what do you guys think we got?
Also while we wait, guess what is coming back.

>[X] “My mouth feels funny.”

“My mouth feels funny.” You declare, as this is important information.

Also, your mouth does feel really funny. Just talking is… weird.

“Okay…” Kevin seems to stop to consider it for a brief few seconds. “That’s nice, I guess. But it’s time to get up. Work and stuff, right?”

You groan, flailing half-blindly for purchase. Eventually to get yourself up, and feel at your jaw experimentally. Something’s off. You can stop licking the inside of your own mouth, like you quite don’t recognize it or something.

You check your hands, and are surprised to find that they’re not… that… bad. They still hurt, and the skin is covered in vicious, reddened scars, but the fact that there’s any skin at all is an immense improvement over last night. They move better, too.

“I was, uh, thinking of tagging along today.” Kevin says, interrupting himself with a quiet yawn. “I figured, hey, why not go get the same job? We’re almost squared with that Creeper guy, right, so what’s the harm?”

Huh. You hadn’t thought of that.

He wears gloves.

I more concerned of the possibility of him and Noriko being a headline.

>>28178824
[x] Look at your hands, "Well, how bout that."
[x] "I've not a bad idea Kevin, Buuuut, wont your powers be a problem? You've been working on it, but thats still Hours out there, bumping into people."

>>28178863
This, but we trust Kevin, he is a good kid when not a junkie.

>>28178870
>>28178898
What is being in close quarters to large numbers of people, where at any moment you might accidentally get your face shoved into someone's neck?

>>28178824

"But this is still to close to that time you got into that scrape. Might want to let the heat die down first."

These two work for me and can be said at the same time.

>>28178905
>t you might accidentally get your face shoved into someone's neck?
now your reaching, plus all he needs to do is cover his lower face.

>>28178940
Which is fine since we'll be outside in cold as all balls NY.

>>28178824
yea thanks I could uz the help

>>28178910
Because that was what, yesterday? The whole reason we might want to move and all? Noriko zapped in a store, Laura sniktbubbed a guy, Kevin withered a dude (slightly, as in non lethal)

>>28178955
Hmmm.... I don't see the problem if we cover him up properly so skin contact upon bumping on people is almost impossible.

Muffler and a hat is a must. If we lack these then it's a no-go.

>>28178968
Good point
We don't want to taze a bitch

>>28179053
Gloves even more so. On another note the one I brought up a bit earlier hasn't Kevin been on camera with 2 other mutants severely injuring humans within the past day or so?

Any speculations of what could be our mutant codename?

>[X] “You sure your powers won’t be a problem?”
>[X] “My mouth feels funny.”


Still, you have your reservations.

“You sure your powers won’t be a problem?”

He shrugs.

“Well, I wear gloves.” A tired grin stretches across his face. “I mean, unless chucking newspapers actually involves lots of people going out of their way to touch up your face, I shouldn’t be looking at any skin contact.”

This is true. Nobody wants to touch the hoboflesh (you don’t blame them. They don’t know where you’ve been, but you do). Kevin is a relatively benign and, admittedly, kind of pretty hobo, but a hobo nonetheless. Which means that, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, he might as well be covered in bubonic puss.

“My mouth feels funny…” You repeat, feeling at the back of your teeth with your tongue. Something is definitely amiss. “Anyhow, I guess you’re right.”

You heave yourself off the sofa. Noriko is still asleep, as is Layla. Laura appears to be… doing yoga? Something that involves stretching.

“Cool. Your hands look better, by the way.”

“Yeah, they”– You pause, rooting around for the source of the funky in your mouth. –“They feel better, too. I guess I heal faster than I thought.”

Another $60 every day or so certainly wouldn’t go amiss. There is one problem, however, that nearly slipped your mind.

“What about that 7/11 trouble last night? You’re sure you weren’t on camera?”

Argh what is that wrong feeling? Are you lisping slightly?

“I’m pretty sure Nori blew them out, man.” Oh, right, that makes sense. “Everything electrical in that store pretty much went up in smoke. I guess someone could recognize me, but most of those guys should be in hospital, right?”

“True.” He doesn’t really stand out, either. There’s no doubt a police report floating about right now with his description all over it, but ‘dark haired teen’ isn’t exactly going to bring the furious gaze of the law bearing down upon you.

“My mouth feels fu– ack!”

You wheel about as a set of small fingers grasp a hold of your jaw, manoeuvring you around and bringing you face to face with Laura. You guess she’s not doing her stretchy thing anymore.

She peers into your mouth, her eyes set into a vaguely annoyed expression.

“You’ve regained a pair of teeth on the left side of your mouth.”

Oh.

>>28179590
It's been about a day after the incident. We should give it more time

>>28179452
>[ ] “Oh. Cool.”
>[ ] “That’s weird. Why now?”

>>28179590
Well, we just had a family outing where they wrecked a 7/11 yesterday. They've been let out recently.

>>28179452
>[ ] “Oh. Cool.”
>[ ] “That’s weird. Why now?”

>>28179615
Since we took them in, not since yesterday. No video, no reason to stay in.

>>28179648
There's the possibility we might bump into one of the guys from before. Don't want to risk that.

>>28179648
We don't know there's no video for sure, hell, it could've been on this morning's news for all we know. Besides, yesterday counts as since we've taken them in.

>[X] “Oh. Cool.”
>[X] “That’s weird. Why now?”

“Oh.” You pretty much have to force it out. Laura’s grip is surprisingly strong for such a tichy small person. “Cool.”

Still, this does beg the question…

“That’s kinda weird. Why now?”

She pauses in consideration – though, you can’t help but notice, doesn’t let go of your jaw. Kevin appears to have stepped back in a very much “you on your own bro” fashion, giving the two of you a wide berth.

“Perhaps your healing factor has accelerated to accommodate your injured state.” She smiles, very faintly. Maybe a little wryly. “I suppose we can add another question to the mystery that is John Green.”

Hah.

They're included in the paranoia. Wanna keep Kev, Nori, layla, and Laura in a group together if they do try something.


then again.... what if trigger scent....

>>28179831
>what if trigger scent
explain, you lost me.

>>28179831
Yeah, I guess we are keeping Layla then. Unless we find some way to drop her back off, which we should probably look into.

>>28179831
>Wanna keep Kev, Nori, layla, and Laura in a group
thats actually bad since they don't know about them, so keeping them close to her will. Also keeping them close to laura will forced her to protect them and have them used as pawns against her is a possibility.

>>28179874
Trigger scent means Laura will go into kill mode and will not give a single fuck who you are, she will try to kill you.

Which is why I was sorta hoping we picked pheromone control at some point so we could negate the trigger scent.

>>28179874
Weapon X's newer projects have olfactory receptors that trigger some sort of blood frenzy. Basically, they have a spray-on cologne that makes Laura kill everybody.

>>28179932
should have mentioned it or advocated for it even if its first level is shit and its second isn't much of an improvement.(its a better ability than claws.)
>>28179960
I'm surprised no has mentioned it until now if its such an important thing.

>>28179976
Yea, I really ought to have mentioned to be perfectly honest, but the thing is I don't think we'll ever see us getting it high enough to perform that.

You see, I think we'd need like lvl 4 to do it.

>>28179976
Laura mentioned it once, iirc, and we've discussed it in one of the earlier threads.
Honestly, Laura is so chill and helpful that the darker side of the Weapon X plot hasn't come up yet. Hopefully, we won't see it again for a while, because we can't possibly fight anything that they would send to capture Laura. That'd be like trying to fight a sentinel.

>>28180036
>because we can't possibly fight anything that they would send to capture Laura

We managed to incapacitate Kimura. Or at least stun her a bit before running the fuck away.

>>28180036
well the little incident from yesterday will alert them, since they would have expected her to leave the city by now.
That is until they hear a case of a mutant attack where this guy got his hand/fingers cut cleaned(which is a huge hint) off by this mutant girl who new how to fight.
I vote we move the fuck away from the area.

>>28180036
So we need to buff strength and electotouch so we can toss lighting at her.

>>28180075
We didn't do shit, we got a lucky 20.

>>28179976

I like claws. They give us some flavour and I'm sure they'll come in handy again. I doubt we should put anymore points into it though.

Back. Sorry about that little wait there.

>[X] “You know, if you don’t let go of my face, I can’t leave.”
>[X] “So, uh, Kevin, I think we should just wait a day or two. Cool?”

“You know, if you don’t let go of my face, I can’t leave.”

Her fingers detach slowly.

“Sides, I have another mystery to unravel.” You say, partly to yourself. She raises an eyebrow.

You are, of course, referring to the Mystery of Peter Parker, probable mutant and Daily Bugle intern.

“So, uh, Kevin…” You turn to face him, slipping Laura’s gloves back on. You gotta find a new pair. “I think should just wait a day or two. Cool?”

He shrugs.

“Guess so. I don’t exactly mind going back to sleep.”

…That almost makes you want to change your mind. But you don’t, and after saying goodbye, you head out. Checking your watch, you see that it’s 6:07 – plenty of time to make your way over.

The gloves we have should do, unless we're leaking blood into them or something.

>>28179932
You'd honestly have needed a very high level of it before it'd be effective there.

The triggers scent thing isn't a basic chemical response. Laura has been conditioned to associate that scent with extreme pain/fear, triggering a berserk state.

>>28180212
I didn't update it since crusty implied that he made one of his own, but i will if you want.

>[X] Go straight to the Bugle.

The snow seems to have let up for now.

You head out toward the Bugle, stopping occasionally to appreciate how truly tired you are. It takes you a little longer than usual to get out of the scar, and you’re not far into the squawking bustle of New York before you find yourself growing weary of the crowds. You felt alright when you left, but maybe it’s mental fortitude you’re lacking right now, and the constant jabber of the city is pressing in on it.

Why couldn’t your hyperactive X-gene have spat out something really useful? Like teleportation. Right now you’d give pretty much anything short of your dick to just click your heels and be at the Bugle.

You stop briefly to grab a sandwich, eating it on your way. You barely taste it but it fills a hole.

>Hunger Level: 2
>Current Funds: $80.50

Eventually you find yourself, once again, before the doors to the Bugle. You try to pull yourself up out of the permanent slouch you seem to be adopting and walk in.
