Of heros and villians IC

It was the end of another boring school day, as Kevin made his way home through an alleyway whilst snapping the fingers on both his hands as he listened to a piece of video game music on his iPod. He stopped, completely shocked to find that a fire ball had sprung to life at the tip of his left index finger, and on his right a ball of pure frost energy "What in the hell?!" Kevin exclaimed in shock as he shook his hands in panic trying to put out the fire and frost "what the hell was that!?" He asked himself after putting out both fire and frost "It didn't feel hot or cold, and there's no burn marks...could it have been the incident?" Kevin asked himself still shocked at what just happened.

"...in and out, just like all the ones before. Got it Paul? No shooting the fucking security guard this time!" an old tabby sat in the drivers seat, watching the members of the mustang through the rearview mirror. He tipped the mirror lenses aviators down as he eyed Paul, a young fox sitting by the passenger window. The fox muttered something and the tabby continued "you put our rep on the line with that little stunt last time, it better not happen again or Kings not going to be happy." 

"alright, alright! I won't shoot the fucking cop this time! Sheesh..." Paul watched him a moment longer, as if trying to decide to trust him or not, then looked to the tiger sitting beside him in the passenger seat. 

"you know how this all works already Alex, they're gonna play decoy while you...do whatever it is you do and get into the vault. The only thing you must bring out, is a brown leather briefcase from a Mr.Wilsons box, it's number 272, and has a extra set of bars around the inner vault area. That is your goal, anything else you snag on the way out, is yours to keep. King is still offering his usual pay as well. You boys manage to pull this off, and there's a good pretty penny to be made from it" the mustang pulled to a stop in front of the building, and sat there. Then the tabby put a paw to his ear and nodded "cameras are down, security guards are between shifts. You have five minutes. Showtime gents, everyone out!" all the doors opened and the small four man squad piled out, pulling masks down over their faces, and took off up the steps of the building, each carrying a brown leather bag, and a street sweeper.

 The first burst through the doors, and looked around. He had the attention of a very stunned bank. "alright ladies and gentlemen! This is a hold up! Everyone on the floor, cellphones, wallets, purses and any jewelry on the floor in front of you," he discharged the shotgun into the ceiling, bringing down wall plaster and dust on some of the customers "NOW."

Johan was biking to home after a long an boring school-day with his much loved subjects, math and science. Johan always biked home with his two best friends, Justin and Francis. All three of them were present at the time of the accident. While standing in front of a traffic light, waiting it to go green, he saw his right hand was covered in some kind of shadow. He first tried to get it off by shaking his hand softly, thinking it might be a piece of cloth. This didn't work and it had even grown a little bigger. "Hey, the light's green, buddy." One of his friends noted, forcing him to return his attention to the intersection. After stopping in an empty road, Johan tried once more to remove the nefarious darkness on his arm. He shook his hand violently, his efforts only seeming to increase the affliction's pace.

"What... is that?" Justin asked, astonished.

"I don't know, but let's stop for a second so I can get it off!" Johan shot back in a panicked tone.

"It looks like some sort of goo." Francis remarked, poking his arm. Johan took to more drastic measures, using his other arm to pull the mysterious substance off of him. However, this only resulted in getting his other arm covered in the strange darkness as well. He shot helpless looks at his comrades who could only watch in fascination at the spectacle as the goo eventually crept up to his chest. The goo was spreading rapidly throughout his body, but the strange sensation that Johan felt was not inherently frightening. He realized that this was maybe one of those superpowers that were rumored to be the result of the accident. His nerves calmed, Johan turned to his friends and declared this revelation to them.

"This... might be the result of the accident from a week ago!" He exclaimed. Johan's excited demeanor diffused the tenseness of the situation, and soon, the friends that were worriedly watching their friend be eaten up by a strange goo suddenly regarded it as a wondrous transformation. After a few moments, Johan felt its presence reach his face, which eventually finished its estranged mission and covered him completely. "Hey... is my face covered too?" Johan asked, only noticing a slightly darker shade difference, like wearing sunglasses.

''Yeah, we can't even see your eyes. It's kinda creepy actually, seeing no facial features.'' Justin replied.

"I might be able to control this" Johan thought to himself. He wanted the shadows to disperse, thinking of that very action, he saw the fruits of his labor as the goo receded into his clothing where it remained hidden. It would go unnoticed by people looking at him, as he was quite certain. ''Hey guys, I think I control it. Shall we see what we can do with it?'' Johan asked. His friends nodded excitedly before riding off to an abandoned structure that hadn't seen activity in years. They were sure that they would not be bothered there.

** MODERATOR MESSAGE ** (This wasn't actually as hard to decipher as you guys made it seem. Now the post looks pretty, no? Rat, remember that you need to double space every time the speaker changes.)

"Interesting..." The clockwork spider crawled along the work bench. "Very interesting..."

It had been a week since the incident. James was the engineering teacher who was there during the spillage. He was told everything had been cleared up, that there would be no "Symptoms". Well, I guess you can't really call moving a clockwork spider with winding it up a symptom.

"So..." James pondered, "I can move things with my mind... HI-YAH!" He pushed his wing out infront of him towards a pencil. Nothing. He tried three more times, all with the same result. "Why can't I move the pencil? I moved the spider... hmm..." He moved towards the Bandsaw. "Let's see... Hnnng!" Suddenly, the bandsaw turned on! James walked around the back and unplugged it. It was still moving! "So I can only move machines... This is gonna be cool..."

"Ok...so I can shoot both fire and frost." Kevin said to himself as he stood in a garage owned by his moms boyfriend, the cars that were worked on here were for the boyfriends own interest. Not profit and since his parents left to go on a trip for the weekend, Kevin was figuring out his new found abilities within the old garage, taking pot shots at a sheet of tin he had propped up.

"should I tell some one about this?" he thought to himself "I could ask Alice. After all she's had..."symptoms" as well. Nothing big though, her fur changed from bright orange to sapphire blue."

Forah had thought herself as clever, or even perhaps genius at the time when she faked sick to get out of school that day. If she had superpowers, why the hell would she not use them to her own benefit? The hero guys in those dorky comic books that the nerds at school read all the time had it all wrong. They are the strongest people in the world, yet they allow other people to benefit from their hard work for no reward? That's for chumps! And Forah Klumannen was no chump, at least by her perspective anyways. So it was there at the bank she had planned to hold up that she found her first round of villainy to become a complete and total failure.

A security guard at the front door asked her to remove her hood and mask, to which she stupidly complied to before even realizing it. All those years of blindly following the trends and behaviors of others to get to the top had taken an immeasurable toll on her. A bag to hold all of the money she was going to steal? She left it at home. It wasn't her fault that it was so heavy and didn't look stylish at all... what kind of person invented brown anyways? Such an ugly color that clashes with everything! Her getaway vehicle? The bike that she needed to dig out of the garage that morning. Her daddy was at work, so the Mercedes was out. Mommy had the mini-van, and her older brother had taken the honda without telling her! The nerve of some people!

This leads us to this very moment. Where she was unprofessional and clumsy, the real bank robbers were quick and efficient. She could only stare in awe as they busted through the door and brought their daily activities to a halt. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is a hold up! Everyone on the floor, cellphones, wallets, purses and any jewelry on the floor in front of you," One of the gunmen screamed out before discharging his weapon and causing Forah to flinch. She swore that at least for a moment, her heart had stopped. "Now!" He demanded, his point effectively made.

"S-so cool!" Forah murmured before getting down. Now these people weren't chumps at all! Of course she didn't let go of any of her things, it was a real Prada bag, after all, and honestly, how uncool can a guy get? No one takes away her cellphone, not even her parents! Her head ducked down, she spied through the corner of her eye the gunmen collecting their goods.

"Hello...you in here Kev? Why did you ask me to meet you in this creepy old chop shop anyway" asked a young fox girl by the name of Alice her fur was sapphire blue. (it used to be orange, it was changed by the incident.)

"I called you here because somethings...changed" Kevin said as he sat at an old table examining his hands.

"Well what is it?" asked Alice, the curiosity clear in her voice "come on you can tell me."

"well you know the incident last week?" Kevin asked

"Yes...what exactly was...changed" Alice asked the concern clear in her voice.

"it's my hands." Kevin said as he snapped the fingers on both his hands, summoning both fire and frost to life. "I can shoot them...like a gun." Kevin said as he aimed his hands at the sheet of tin. He twitched his thumbs and the tin was then bombarded by both fire and frost.

"well since were being honest with each other...a change of color wasn't the only thing I experienced." Alice said still a bit shocked at what she witnessed.

[Buzzwolf]

"not to worry ladies and gents," the lead man stride confidently around the room shotgun slung over his shoulder, stuffing cell phones, jewelry and anything else on the floor in the bag. "the quieter and more cooperative you all are, the quicker we'll be outta here and you get your five minutes of fame on the evening news!" he picked up a rather large cellphone and held it like a dead rat "good lord, people still use these dinosaurs?!" he tossed it aside and continued on

"Hey! Check this out!" one of the robbers stopped at Forah "this ones got a panda pack! I bet me Sis would love one o' them!" he grabbed onto one of the bags straps, and gave it tug "come on girl, give up the bag!"

"fuck man, you and your obsession with bringing yer Sis a gift all the time...sheesh" Alex made a hasty beeline for the teller counters

"hey! Don't be raggin on me family now! Just cause I care about me sis..."

"knock it off you two!" the lead man checked his watch "four minutes"

Alex nodded, then reached over the counter and found the back of the collar of one of the tellers, and hoisted them up, the muzzle of the street sweeper leveled with the tellers nose. He didn't need to say anything, the teller nodded and pointed frantically to a door way that lead to the back rooms, and the vault

"y-y-you can't get in..there's a retinal l-lock on it for the manager only" Alex tossed him aside, a grin beneath his skull faced bandana

"don't matter" he vaulted over the counter and the teller "won't be needing him fer what I'm gonna do to it" the teller seemed confused a moment, watching Alex approach the vault and run a paw down the surface. What appeared to be sand fell to the floor at his touch. He set down the bag he was carrying and cracked his knuckles. Next he drew a set of lines, shaped like a doorway, etching the surface of the metal vault. Alex looked over his shoulder at the stunned teller and chuckled to himself, then set both paws inside the marks, immediately, the surface of the door inside the marks lost it's glossy shine. He pushed on the door, and his paws started to sink in, the sandy substance pouring down around his hands. The teller stared wide eyed at the spectacle, Alex pushed his way through the door, brushing the metal sand of his shoulders as he passed completely through the doorway. A perfect doorway cut into the hardened steel. He turned, and reached through the newly made doorway, picking up the bag he'd set down less than a minute before, and disappeared into the vault.

The teller lay there, stunned till alex was completely out of sight before what just happened clicked in his head "oh shit!" he scrambled under his booth and jammed on a small red button, far more obviously than he'd intended, alerting the other robbers to his move

"fuck! Ninety second! We're gone in ninety seconds!" the lead shouted to the others. They all nodded in unison, their process speeding up

"come on girl! Give up the bag! It ain't worth it" he jammed the muzzle of the shotgun against her nose "I'm sure me Sis will love it to death anyway!"

[Anonymous G]

Forah held on for dear life, as anyone can imagine. I mean, come on! Designer bags don't run for cheap... which now that she thought about it, was probably the reason he was trying to take it in the first place. In the middle of the tussle, a few things had taken place that Forah was not aware of. First of all was of course a true super villain breaking into the vault. The second being that the silent alarm had just been pressed, and finally the third and biggest occurrence: She lost a glove. Forah desperately grasped at the bag with her uncovered hands as the robber grew fed up with the game. "Come on girl! Give up the bag! It ain't worth it" The man demanded as he jammed her nose with a nasty-looking weapon. She didn't hear what he said after that, nor did she really pay the weapon any mind as she immediately let go of the bag. The robber stumbled backwards with his spoils, but the only thing she could focus on was the glowing red hand-print that had been left on her own belongings.

"Wha..." Was all Forah managed to choke out as the bag exploded in front of her. Time seemed to had stopped for just a moment as she tried her best to shield her face. Forah felt the heat singe off her eye-brows as the force of the blast knocked her clear off her feet. As she fell to the ground, her head cracked back and landed heavily against the marble tiles. She could only make out a few blurred images before fading into darkness.

[Buzzwolf]

"...see? Now that didn't hurt...the Fu--?" the fox never got a chance to finish stating the obvious oddity of the red handprint before it exploded in his face...splattering the fox across the room. 

It took a minute for everyone to regain their senses after such an explosion in such a tight space, the first to look up was Paul, wide eyed

"holy shit! She just killed Jimmy!" Paul shouted, clearly on the edge of histarical panic as he franticly tried to wipe the pieces of Jimmy off that had sprayed him in the explosion "fuck!fuck!fuck!fuck!" his bag was tossed aside in the blast and now lay forgotten for the moment as the fox danced around trying to rid himself of the Jimmy bits

"Paul...Paul! Fuck!" the fox ignored the wolf that was leading them through the routine. That's all it was supposed to be. Simple routine. In, and out. No injuries. And especially, no deaths. 

This was turning out to be anything but routine. 

"Paul! God dammit! Calm down!" the wolf grabbed him and shook the fox, pieces of Jimmy splattered on himself as well, not to mention all the banks customers that had been out in the open. "get a hold of yourself! He's dead, nuthin we can do about that right now!"

"I'll tell ya something we can do! We can put a shell in that girls ass! I bet she was waiting for one of us to take that bag! Waiting for one of us so she could kill us! Fuck! I bet she's a cop!" that made the wolf look twice at the lizard hybrid. "Come on max...for Jimmy...we'll just take her out back and--"

"NO. We've too much of a shitstorm to deal with as is. I'm not having king come down on MY ass because we broke the rules...fuck..." the wolf pushed Paul away from him, a hand on his head, trying to sort out a plan to deal with the mess

"who the fuck brought grenades?!?" Alex was practically sprinting as he cleared the counter and caught sight of the carnage "...are you kidding me?!?"

"long story mate," the wolf started, waving it off "Jimmy won't be riding back with us. You got the package?" the wolf was right back down to business 

"yeah...I got it, little extra spending money too" he shook the bag he carried, holding both the brown leather breifcase he'd been told to get, and all the valuables of every single surrounding box. 

"then we need to get the fuck outta here" the wolf pointed to Forah with his own weapon "take her. She blew Jimmy up with her fucking bag. She's gonna be our security token if anything else happens." the wolf shouldered his own bag, loaded down with all the cash from the registers, and grabbed Pauls bag, leaving the fox to quite forcibly bring the hybrid to her feet, and dragged her along

"yer one lucky bitch, yanno that? If I'd had my way, you'd have a hole in ya so big...fuck..." he growled in her ear, just above a whisper and jammed the muzzle in her back

They burst out the doors, taking the steps three and four at a time as they sprinted for the waiting mustang. Their tabby driver opened the passenger door as they got close, quickly ushering them in "what in the bloody fuck did you do?!? I could hear that explosion all the way out here!! And where the fuck is Jimmy?!? And--" the wolf cut him off, the girl getting wedged between the fox and wolf in the back seat

"Long story, no time. They hit the alarm about a minute ago, so For the love of god, floor it!" the mustang peeled out so hard, it left a little pile of shredded rubber in addition to the twin tire tracks screaming from the scene

[aires163]

"What other...changes did you experience?" Kevin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well besides the color change I'm kind of...well...you remember the story I was working on right?" Alice asked.

"You mean the one with the lady vampire as the main character? Yeah I remember it what of it?"

"Well it seems like I'm turning into her. Except the sun dose not kill me...It just irritates the hell out of me. It can also give me a rather nasty sun burn...I found that out the hard way. That's why I'm wearing this big baggy hoddie. There's also the super speed and strength. Also I'm not 100% sure of this one but..." she reached for the light switch and flipped it off.

"HOLY SHIT!!!" Kevin shouted in fright "Your eyes there glowing blood red!"

"I can also see in the dark. Everything is clear as day." Alice replied still perfectly calm.

"I have just one question. About the whole biting thing?"

"it's only if you drink a vampires blood." Alice said

"oh...ok...um...could you turn the lights back on please?" Kevin asked still sounding a bit frightened.

"Whats the matter? Afraid that I'm going bite you?" Alice asked as she gave a smug look.

"YES!" Kevin replied. "you would be intimidated to if a pair of glowing blood red eyes were giving you a hungry look in pitch blackness!"

"Alright alright you big baby." Alice said with a small giggle as she turned the lights back on."

Forah couldn't focus her vision for more than a few seconds. The light stung her eyes and her head pounded like a drumset at a heavy metal concert, she felt a warm liquid run down the back of her head and tried to move to feel it but as she soon realized, her arms were bound behind her. Her right hand was still without it's protective glove, so she instinctively clenched her fist. Her arms felt like they were on fire, her clothes were stained in blood and charcoal, her mind was still not recollecting the last few moments. An elbow jabbed her uncomfortably in the stomach, she was in a car with a bunch of people! Funny, she couldn't remember getting up after the...

"Fuck! Fuck... fuckfuckfuck!" Forah gritted through her teeth as all the pain and memories seemed to have flooded her mind at once. She thrashed wildly in the seat for a moment, but was hit hard enough to get the wind knocked out of her. She wheezed for air desperately as her vision came and went, catching a glimpse of her kidnappers, the robbers from before. Breathless, She tried to summon some words of protest, but she quickly relinquished the thought after a discouraging look from the drivers seat. Forah began to drift back to sleep again, she struggled for a moment, before reaching out with her glove-less hand. One of the men from the car, one that she had never seen before quickly grabbed her wrist and gripped it tightly.

[aires163]

"You think we could go somewhere else? I don't like it here." Alice said

"Well since me parents are out of town we could stop by McDonald's for a bite to eat...oh wait can you even-"

"yes I can still eat normal food...I'm just not sure I can get nourishment from it." Alice said

"well I can pay for both of us. My mom left me plenty of Money." Kevin offered.

"Well that would be nice" Alice said as she steeped outside and flinched, covering her face at the sight of the setting sun. "The sun seems a lot brighter then it used to."

"Don't worry if what you said was true you should be ok." Kevin said as they began to make their way down the street.

After a brief and mostly pleasant meal the two of them made their way out of the restaurant. Only to be interrupted as an elderly women shouted "That apartment building across the street is on fire! Some one call 911!"

"Should we do something!?" Kevin asked Alice

"What can we do?" she asked

"oh come on, were both super human! Also the nearest fire station is too far to make it in time. Some one could need our help now!" Kevin said into Alice's ear.

"But what if some one sees our faces? That could attract a lot of unwanted attention." Alice replied

"Don't worry I have these." Kevin said as he took two small masks out from his bag. They only covered ones eyes, nose, and a bit of their forehead. "I was going to use them for an art project but we can conceal our identities with these." Kevin said.

No one else in the restaurant noticed them as they slipped the masks on, and went out the emergency exit.

[Poopenheimer]

"Hello and welcome to Fox News!"

James was working on a project for his students at the school.

"Our top story tonight, a bank robbery has just taken place outside of..."

He still couldn't believe that he actually had super..."Wait, what?!" James said, astonished.
He ran up to the TV, and listened intently.

"Police suspect a Fox and a Tiger to be the main culprits." the TV relayed to him. "There have been reports of a large explosion, but the exact details are unclear at this moment. We go to our reporter live..."

"What is the world coming to..." James breathed, a look of sadness and disappointment in his eyes.

[Buzzwolf]

"...are you out of your fucking MIND?!?" the car lurched to the side as the tabby twisted to yell at the wolf, causing them passengers all to flinch, and the tabbies cigarette to go flying off. He cursed to himself and straitened the car back out. "fuck!" the aviators were suddenly launched out the window by the tabbys furious hand

"sorry m--"

"don't you DARE use my name in front of her! God dammit! Your don't know if she's a cop or what the fuck she is! Fer all we know, she could be wearing a fucking wire for the CIA! Did either of you bother to take a moment to pat her down?!" the wolf cringed, he hadn't thought to do that in their haste to get out "..didn't think so...fuck..." 

The police scanner on the dashboard crackled a few times then came to life, yelling about a fire...and units now reacting to a bank robbery. Their bank robbery "fuck. Just what I needed..." they needed to get off the road before the local patrol got the bolo on them. The tabby turned down an alley, lit only by the few streetlights now that it was getting dark, and shut down the car. He muttered something and turned in time to see the girl they'd brought reaching out. He grabbed her hand out of instinct, thinking she was trying to pull something. He caught a glimpse of her palm and cursed again. 

He let go and opened the door, pocketing the keys as he pulled himself awkwardly out of the short car, and slammed the door as he strode off a few feet, muttering and cursing to himself. Alex followed suit, stepping from the car, a little less awkwardly, and pushed the door shut. He leaned on the roof, watching the tabby pace irritably back and forth "fuck...you three really fucked up this time..." The tabby pointed at them with his cell

"All the news got was a tiger and a fox fleeing the scene, they somehow missed Max entirely...and we got the bag boss--"

"I dont give a fuck about the bag! You brought a fucking super as a god damned hostage!" Alex looked as stunned as the wolf now scrambling to get out of the back seat 

"...how do you...?" he looked in the window at the halfbreed, unsure what the old tabby had seen in her to know she was like him. 

"how do I know? Fuck. Pay attention ya meat head. Her hands are clean. Look at the rest of 'er...she's covered in blood and charcoal...cept for the palm of her hand. Whatever she did, she did it with that...now, unless I'm mistaken, that's not something reptiles can do naturally" he reached into his jacket, the motion paralleling that of a pistol draw, but then simply pulled out a fresh cigarette, a zippo, and lit up, puffing small rings of smoke out his nose "fuck..."

So that's why she was seeming so familiar to the tiger. He had seen her before, on the class trip..."so what'd we do now?" the wolf voiced what they were both thinking

"fuck if I know...there is now way kings gonna like this." he blew another smoke ring and looked through the windshield at the girl in the back seat "fuck..."
