No time to call the others. No time to whip the motley crew before you into shape, either.

“Stay here!” You shout, turning on your heels and running up the steps to the Scar outside, shedding your jacket as you go.

You reach into yourself, pulling your wings out, and are surprised to find the feeling of contortion spread not through your arms, but along your shoulders, your shirt splitting open as a pair of leathery appendages rip from your back. A flourish of metabolic embers swirling through the air as they spread to their full width, and without a second thought, you propel yourself up into the air, the wind screaming in your ears.

You don’t think about the sudden change. You think about being an arrow.

A dark, hot feeling spreads through your chest as you approach the old landfill, the ruins clearing out around it. It’s something almost familial, something like a heart beating beside your own, veins and arteries tangled up alongside yours.

Down below, beside the remnants of a splintered cabinet and a pile of thoroughly-melted tires, you spot a trio of figures, and you… you recognize all three of them. You feel your pupils sharpen as you hone your sight in on them, and you confirm that the one curled up upon the ground is Kevin. Hunched nearby is a figure in a long, heavy coat, a thick reptilian tail protruding from beneath its folds.

And the last one is…

“You!”

He blinks, and glances up at you. And waves.

You feel your chest light up with inner fire.

Typhon. Or Joseph. Whatever.

It’s strange – you feel stronger. You feel that heartbeat mingling with yours, synchronizing with it, filling your limbs with strength. It’s somehow directed at Typhon, not like a knife or an arrow or a sword, but like something more primal, more bone and sinew than steel. You feel almost magnetically charged, swayed subtly but relentlessly toward him.

You try to ignore it, pushing your newfound sensation of strength into your eyes, focusing it into a spear of light. It streaks out over the Scar, more white than blue, somehow brighter and hotter than it’s ever been. The woman in the coat leaps back, scrabbling for safety as the beam pulverizes the debris in her wake, while Typhon merely raises an arm. His eyes flare like stars, and the air seems to curve around him, the beam glancing off an invisible shield.

Swooping down, you beat your wings as powerfully as you can, generating a burst of compressed air that rolls over the debris, forcing both Typhon and his companion to steady themselves against the ground. You glare at the other man – you don’t know why, exactly, but you do – before bringing your hands down on Kevin’s shoulders, your palms adhering to his hoodie.

Without further delay, you hurl yourself back into the sky.

As you tighten your grip on Kevin, you feel the air shift subtly around you, a kind of strange pressure falling across your limbs, threatening to drag you back down to Earth…

It's okay man, nobody is cancer.

I would probably be okay with the idea of granting EXP for art, I just don't think it'd be fair to assign them to specific powers. Mostly because, if those points were assigned but anons still never voted for the power, that'd really screw over whoever spent moneydorrars on commissioning arts.

I think people should get something for either drawing or having art be commissioned, but not X-Points.

Maybe they get Karma points? Or some type of EXP that we can use for traits.

Or with each new piece of art, we roll on a table and see what random cool thing JJ finds. Like money or cool clothes. Or a gun.

Get fucked, Joseph.

You push harder, your wings slamming against the air, generating a thunderous succession of booms. The bones in your limbs creak and shudder in protest, the pressure increasing, a sharp, constant pain spreading through your shoulders. Almost feels like you could tear your wings straight off trying to escape. In the heat of the moment, you barely notice the faint blue glow that spreads through their membranes, smoke beginning to roil off their surface as you push harder and harder, spreading through the air around you like ink.

Suddenly, the pressure seems to cease, and you shoot high into the air, the ruins below dwindling at a rapid pace.

Wobbling slightly (you’re still getting used to the feeling of having six limbs. It’s pretty weird), you head toward the station, your arms tucked under Kevin’s. He hangs limply, still breathing but very much unconscious.

As you slip through the air, you feel a sudden, sharp sensation in the front of your skull – like brainfreeze – and the feeling begins to retreat from your limbs as a voice fills your head.

>It was nice/exhilarating/portentous seeing you again
>I think your wings are great
>don’t worry, we’re not in competition/rivalry/evolution against one another yet
>but there can only be one king in the forest

The voice recedes, and the feeling in your limbs returns.

You steady your grip on Kevin and descend toward the station.

Gaby is waiting outside with Megan and Jubilee. She dashes across the rubble to meet you as you descend to Earth.

“Oh my God! Kevin!”

“Oh God, he’s”–

“He’s gonna be fine.” You say, a little amazed at how confident you sound. You don’t even know what Typhon’s done to him.

Gaby watches nervously as you lay Kevin down, checking him for any obvious injuries. You feel sharp, jagged inconsistencies along his ribs, and his flesh is covered in ugly bruises, but there are no open wounds, save a slight cut along his brow. Biting into your palm, you trickle a bit of your blood into his mouth, Gaby gasping slightly.

“Healing blood, remember?”

She nods quickly, her hands clasped. Heart’s beating fast.

Content that you’ve done what you can, you and Gaby carry him into the station, the Corsairs watching with wide eyes. Gaby sets him down near the fire, her hand around his. You can’t help but feel like something’s amiss as you spend the next few minutes calling your friends, telling them to get back to the station as fast as possible.

What is it? Something’s bugging you, you just can’t –

Then it hits you. The hand Gaby’s holding – Kevin’s hand. It’s bare.

He’s not wearing his gloves.

And Gaby isn’t, last you checked, a pile of ash.

“Gaby.” You say, your voice quiet. She glances up at you. “Kevin’s… his hand.”

She looks down, taking a moment to absorb what you’re saying before it sets in, her eyes widening. She recoils instantly, clutching her hand close to her, and the two of you stare down at Kevin’s silent form.

I got to admit, the kind of loyalty his pet projects(clones at the furnace, the lizard girls?) had towards him looks like some sort of junkie-provider relationship. Does he use his psychic field to mind break people into becoming loyal servants, or is that just a side effect of Typhon being incredibly powerful and affable?

Laura wasn't affected beyond a tough reality check, but Typhon didn't knock her out and put his fingers all over the base of her skull either.

>>41547312
>[ ] Write in.

>[ ] No, let him rest.

>>41547364
He is the first peddler of jack. Probably uses the hyper addictive rough variant that we have been seeing turning living things into cancer flesh sacks.

Creeps wouldn't want to kill his customers so he will be more careful with production, even if only a little. Typhon blatantly does not care.

>>41547341
I think he might have stolen his powers. Kind of like how JJ gets access to powers of people he's around.

>>41547312
>[x] No, let him rest.

>>41547423
I wonder if Xavier is as much of a stone cold bastard in this verse as some of the comic versions.

I think that while this might be great for Kevin he should still tread lightly in case this is temprorary. Keep the gloves on and keep something biodegradable inside the gloves like a paper tissue. If the powers kick back in he'll know when the biomatter is destroyed.

>>41547464

So death touch erased, stolen by Broseph, or it now has to be consciously activated?

What if Kevin is part of the Typhon hive mind?

What if kevin is a biological land mine?

Oh god, Kevin and Gaby make out, then Kevin explodes in a pile of gore on top of her

“No, let him rest.”

He’s not looking so great, after all. You’re very much aware of how nasty a set of broken ribs can be – even if you can heal them up within a matter of minutes. That shit still hurts.

A finger taps nervously at your shoulder, and you wheel around on Megan – maybe a little more confrontationally than you meant to, because she backs away slightly. You’re still feeling that vague sense of primordial strength, that clear feeling of purpose, that urged you to dive down and put your claws around Typhon’s throat.

“What?”

“Um…” You’re just about aware of her looking you up and down (it’s hard to tell with those black eyes of hers), and you realize that your wings are still out. Horns, too. “We’ve got, like, a bunch of medical stuff back at boss’ place. I can go grab somma that stuff if you need it…”

Huh. You guess can be less bubbly, sometimes.

“Sure, I’ll let you know if we need it. Thanks.”

Your friends trail back in over the next hour, and you get used to explaining the situation to several teens of wildly different temperament. Lucas is astoundingly quiet, sitting a little aside from Gaby and Kevin, while Noriko fumes silently, tiny electrical arcs playing at her shoulders. Layla sticks close to you.

Laura, when she arrives, glances briefly in Kevin’s direction, before shooting you a meaningful look.

“Joseph.” She states.

You nod. “He prefers Typhon, apparently.”

“…Yes?” She frowns slightly, the bitter tone of your voice seemingly a little lost on her. “But his name is Joseph. How are we responding?”

This should make a perfect opportunity to talk about recruiting new members for the tunnel snakes.

Typhon ain't gonna be easy to deal with.

“For now, we’re sitting tight.”

You have no idea what Typhon did to Kevin, and while you don’t exactly want to see the fallout to it, you’re pretty sure you’re supposed to. As a decent human being, or something.

A thought strikes you.

“Well, I guess, uh, someone should go tell the X-kids about this.” You sweep your gaze across the assembled mutants, choosing to ignore the small chuckle that ‘X-kids’ elicits from Megan. “Noriko? Would you mind?”

She glares at you, and you can’t help but step back slightly, but most of the anger in her eyes clearly isn’t directed at you, because she grabs her coat and heads out, mumbling something about needing a walk anyway.

“How did he do this?” Asks Laura, her eyes set on Kevin.

“Dunno.” You reply. You really don’t. “It sounded like he was in my head for a second. Maybe something to do with that?”

Laura glances up at you, seeming slightly surprised.

“What?” You ask.

She looks down, away from you, and her brow creases slightly.

“It’s… nothing. I must have been mistaken.” She pauses. “When we last met, he demonstrated some telekinetic ability, but I believed that his suggestive powers were biological in nature. It did not feel like telepathy.”

“Feel? You know what telepathy ‘feels’ like?”

She nods slowly. “Resistance to telepathic probing was part of my training. This felt different.”

You’re about to press her for a bit more detail when Gaby starts, her tail slapping against the tiled flooring, and you realize that Kevin is waking up.

We've shied away from directly stealing stuff at almost every opportunity. Directly relying on stealing now would be weird. And Moon Knight has only seemed interested in funding his own war on crime, not weird mutie stuff.

>>41548185
Sure, but we won't find out until the powers start working again, and JJ can take the hit better than most of the gang.

>[X] Ask him what still hurts first

You crouch down beside Kevin as his eyes creak open.

The first thing he does, before you can get a word in, is cough – a lot. The second thing he does is roll over, screw his eyes shut, and throw up a pool of mercifully clear stomach fluids. Guess someone’s cleaning that up later.

Quickly, Gaby leans in to steady him as his eyes dart frantically around the station, his breath coming and going in long, obviously pained gasps.

“Kevin?” His eyes focus on you. “Can you tell me where you’re hurt?”

Immediately, he presses a hand against his chest, and a stream of incoherent gribberish emerges from his mouth. Well, you guessed that much.

You give him a moment to compose himself.

“Did… do you remember what Typh– what that guy did to you?”

He stares at you for a second, his eyes squinting, before he opens his mouth, and instead of words, there is another spree of jerky, nonsensical sounds. His eyes widen and he feels at his jaw, as if expecting to find something wrong with it. He tries to talk again, this time more slowly, putting more effort into each syllable, but the sounds don’t assemble into anything you can assign meaning to.

Eyes widening, he glances between you and Gaby, a panicked, uncomprehending expression on his face.

“Layla…” You’ve… you’ve got a bad feeling about this… “Layla, could you, uh, could you just grab me anything with writing on it?”

“W-what?”

“Just do it, alright?”

She scampers off, picking a packet of chicken out from the plastic bags assembled near the entrance, and brings it back to you. You hold it up in front of Kevin, levelling your finger upon the cooking instructions on the back.

“Can you read this, Kevin?”

He squints, trying for a moment to sound out the words, before giving up. His heart starts to hammer in his chest, breath quickening, a sense of panic gripping his entire body as realization sets in.

>>41548241
Keep a slow and steady voice.
Give him some water to drink and get him to start slow with making basic sounds.

A couple of random thoughts
-Joseph now prefers his nickname "Typhon"? or is it just that nhe prefers when lowly peasants(such as Laura and Kimura) address him to use his title and not his inner, sacred named?
-When Laura first found Typhon, he looked like a chiseled, stunning cobalt GOD. And now he looks like JJ, what the hell? does he have Genetic Mimicry or just a JJ skin so to speak? should we develop some sort of password so our allies know it's JJ the real deal and not that fake cat Typhon?
-Obvious but I feel it needs to be spelled out. Our powers were amplified when we were near Typhon. Is that other power of his, or was it a result of our spooning together? Does that mean Typhon's abilities are also enhanced whenever near JJ?
-Megan now knows we got Healing vitae. So either have a word with her or everyone in the Scar will know about it.
-Typhon doesn't seem to be actively affecting the minds of people near him. His is some sort of passive aura of wellness. The problem is that now i don't know what the fuck was up with the phone incident. Does he have somebody who can phreak targets apart through cellphones, or is it a new threat altogether?

Give him water and pen and paper. Tell him in calm voice to calm down, and attempt sign language, or charades and pointing at objects, or drawings.

>>41548314
We just established he can't read

>>41548279
Rule no.1 of calming people down.

>>41548298
Were did it state he looked like JJ?
Pretty sure they are both very unique in appearance.

They aren't working right now, and even if they did, they'd only damage JJ's hand a bit, not completely vaporize his arm or whatever. JJ's survived Kevin's touch before, it just really hurt and took a bit to heal.

>>41548341
Thats a thought, now his powers have stopped breaking down grease, he is going to get some mega wicked spots as his skin adjusts.

That's- he dies.

>>41548241

Let's start things off simple. Start with some basic yes or no questions. Ask him if his chest hurts, if he remembers who everyone is, and then have someone go and get the psychic ladies.

Alternatively, couldn't we use our body language reading to figure out what he's trying to say?

>>41548410
Does his existence revolve around sex? No. Also he is angst incarnate, nothing will stop that.

>>41548241
Could we boost our regen to level 4 then give Kevin some of our blood?

>>41548241
Give him something to write on. See if he can still do that.

>>41548331

>>41546073

>And the last one is…

>“You!”
Pretty vague to be honest, could mean lots of things.

However, we also have Typhon description from last thread. H e looked pretty normalish.

I think assuming Typhon has some degree of morphing abilities is a safe bet.

>>41548445
>Does his existence revolve around sex?
he is a teenager, so yes

>>41548413
Well, his previous understanding of language seems gone or mixed up. He was trying to talk, and seemed to realize the significance of not being able to read, so he still has conceptional understanding, and probably still has a working train of thought in his head. His current ability to communicate with language seems shot, though.

>>41548454
JJ has no tail (yet?) though the lizard component is strange since he was more mammal originally.

However with the dragon motive he seems to be aiming for, it would be expected. He still does not look like JJ.

Also, phone incident?

>>41548465
He's an angsty teen super. With no understanding of language(fucking how/why??) no it doesn't, angst kills the boner

>>41548454
I know you meant morphing as in shapeshifting, but I still had a flash of Typhon with a megazord.
It was amazing.

Typhons greek godness is probably the result of an instinctual alteration of the victims perception. Similar to the strange attraction other mutants feel towards him.

Just use your body language,

Go to X-dudes and talk to the guy that knows every language ever?

>>41548631
it's a fictional character anon, chill. It's just hyperbole

Kevin’s entire body language seems to bristle, speaking of nothing but steadily mounting panic.

“Okay, it’s – it’s gonna be fine.” You rest a hand on his shoulder, careful to avoid touching anything remotely exposed. “You’re not badly hurt, okay? You’re just…”

You’re not sure. He can see it in your eyes, too.

“Let’s… let’s try again…”

You spend a short while listening to Kevin making basic, single-note utterances. It seems that he can hear you, and even understand you, just fine, but something gets lost in translation when you ask him to copy the sounds you’re making. “Ah” comes out as “bech”, “oh” turning into “gah”. He’s not deaf or mute, and he’s not lost all understanding for language… but he himself has no capacity for it, it seems.

Christ. This is fucked up.

Soon enough, Kevin has given up, and sits with his head in his hands, tears clustered below his eyes.

You don’t know what to do.

Luckily, someone else does. Taking a deep breath, Gaby places a hand down on Kevin’s, her bare skin (and, you guess, fur) touching his. His eyes widen in shock and, momentarily, terror, and he makes to recoil, but almost immediately it sinks in that he’s not hurting her, and he relaxes slightly, staring down at her hand in befuddled silence.

He looks up at her, and the tears start to roll down his cheeks.

Relief washing over you, you step back, giving them some space.

You feel Lucas’ eyes on you, and glance down at him.

“What’re we gonna do now?”

I think we still have that sample? It might pay to get another look taken at it. According to Joseph, he isn't currently a threat, and we do not appear to be ready to kick that beehive.

Knowledge would be handy right now, and if the lady with Joseph was connected to those two weirdos that were with freaky glass-powers mutant, then Moon Knight will have some degree of interest in this as well.

lets see, drawing attention to the mutant drugs problem will not go well, as they will 'solve' it by just removing the mutants. To progress mutant standing in the state of new york is going to need a dire event caused by something none mutant, being solved by a mutant, in a public display that is irrefutable to slander. Then capitalize upon it with a political leader to at least make mutants acceptable within city limits under the law.

What we really need is a neurologist. Parker might know one.

The words of your father, practically fire upon his mouth, clamor in your head.

“When Noriko gets back, you guys need to set down a meeting.” You say, trudging toward the stairs, retrieving your jacket. You turn your gaze toward Megan. “Can I trust you to tell Jono about this?”

She nods quietly.

“Good. Tomorrow we should get in touch with Julian’s lot, see if those creepy triplets can help with…” You glance over at Kevin. “…with our problem.”

You shrug your jacket on. It’s not as warm as it’d be with a shirt underneath, but there is a fire inside you today, and it seems in little danger of blinking out anytime soon.

“Um, okay…” Lucas says, slowly, maybe even a little cautiously. “What about you?”

“I’m going out.”

And you do. You trudge up the stairs, out into the cold desolation of the Scar, and you feel your entire body quake not with cold, but with a terrible, all-pervading heat.

You have to deal with this. That's the truth of things. It comes to you in shades of clarity you rarely experience, a sort of grim certainty gripping your thoughts, working them against the heat, slimming them into fine, razor-sharp implements. Things to cut, and smash, and cleave. This thing with Joseph is the great, central eye of things, of events, and you cannot ignore it. If you do, it will always be watching you, always be there, and eventually, it will crush you flat against the earth.

But before you can focus on it, you need to get the chaff out of your way.

the mutant drug problem has nothing to do with the willing actions of mutants, and there's no way a liberal leaning media would spin it that way. The drug 'problem' isn't that Jack is being used, it's what/how Jack is being manufactured.

Staying silent about it is like not crying for help when someone's assaulting you.

Considering our last run-in with Negative and the source material for the Bratva, the Owl honestly seems like the safer choice.

We haven't really fucked with The Owl yet. I'd rather not get him on our back until we've crippled at least one of the others.

That will get you farmed.

Joshua tree and making everyone mutants is a retarded idea. For various reasons previously covered in older threads. It + a trustable scientist to make just pure miracle cure? = best thing ever.

Crusty confirmed somewhere in the Ask that the media would likely react (begrudgingly) sympathetic to mutants on this issue

This time before we get into superhero fights with gangleaders we need to check Owls profile on the moonphone™

The media in this world is not liberal leaning. It is purge the mutant, burn the heretic.

Again, stating anything to do with it while its still on mass production will backfire. Its a bad idea. Wait until we have suppressed it enough before leaking that info.

Jack can only be produced from mutants, and is only a problem when used by mutants. Therefore, remove the mutants, you remove jack. That big concentration in the exclusion zone? get rid of them.

The line of logic is a very practical and cold hearted one that will be called for in a world were mutant hunting is like a sport to some people and is tolerated by the rest.

Owls are the cunts of the bird kingdom.
