*William slowly hovers towards Leo, watching the chair, and him, and listening* "It's curious, no-one ever associates this kind of move as intelligent, calculating... But, I suppose it works to my favour, if you think I'm some brave fool out to make a point." *He stops in place for a second* "Which is really quite funny. But not why I'm here. How familiar are you with Project Shroud? It was an old experiment by the Brits- British to create a kind of super assassin. Interesting stuff."
*He continues to hover slowly* "It was cancelled after a few test subjects were killed trying to assassinate a few world leaders. The bodies were charred to the point the DNA couldn't be extracted. A pity. They were nice folks, and didn't really deserve the thoroughness of those orders. " *The tone of voice indicates a rather disturbing familiarity with those orders.*
"But, the problem is, someone re-opened the programme, and has made it work, at least twice. And both of these new assassins are running round your city. And here comes my brave foolish point. One, a now ex-reporter with CNN, the one I'm alledged to have killed along with, I'm supposing, the late mayor, extorted myself and the young woman also involved."
"This Mara, the CNN reporter, was working for local mobs. Some silly little power play by silly people. They wanted the mayor killed, so they set up a situation where they wanted us to look responsible, myself and the girl. You know, create a havok-filled situation as a distraction, then blow a few landmines under the mayor's car. As childish as the people bidding to run this city."
*He hovers for a few more seconds.*"Funny thing about being a good person. You get suckered by the assholes."
"You can be as good or evil as you want, Leo Saing. Just remember about reaping what you sow."
*And, with that, he starts to rise slowly, wondering what the new mayor'll do.*

Saing chuckled, sipping on his drink, strangely unnerved by William's arrival. " You presume much, Mr. Black. Oh yes, I know a fair bit about you.." He set his glass down and picked up the evening paper, leafing through itbefore continuing , his voice laced with false sincerity and a hint of mocking." But I'm afraid I know nothing of this project Shroud that you are referring to, and I assume the reporter you refer to was that fine young lady killed in the traffic accident. A shame, she was very good at what she did."
He turned a few more pages, he looked up at Will again. " Palely concealed threats will do you no good, Mr. Black. I suggest you get out of my city while you still can, and take the rest of your filthy mutant cohorts with you, while you still can. Good night, Mr. Black."
He rose from his seat and started for the door.

*William smiles softly* "You remind me of him. Really. The attitude. The self-possession. Why, all you'ld need is a neat little square mustache. And I'm not threatening you." *William's voice is still very calm, collected. Parlés don't mean to lose patience.* "But, it's not your town. You are no king. Good day."
*and William zips off into the sky.*

'huh? .. ' *looking about to see who talked to her 'oh man .. just getting jumpy'
*gives trevor a small wave as the lower part of the face reflects the inner torment then moves along the street and thinks about which of the places she can use for the first night of many
*pauses in the shadows of a subway station entrance and watches the people about the street and takes the last look about the city thats been her friend for so long.
*then turns and heads into the shadows of an alleyway and rolls along slowly, lost in thought about her past, and tries to recall anything about it and those 4 years that are gone

"We shall see, Mr. Black." saing replied loudly, calling after the departing mutant. The night is fairly still for a city like Miami, and he is undisturbed on his way back to the building Tyler was using. When he stepped out of the elevator, Tyler met him in the doorway, with an innocent look. " It's not my fault. The kid made her own desicion."
[Sparks]
Sparks easily picks up on the scowl on Trevor's face when he relizes he's been made., but he kept his distance. The voice returned to her head, as if teasing her. " You can't get away from us again. Madam says it's time for you to come home." A long pause. " Oh look, you have a shadow. I'll have to get rid of it first."

*William suddenly realising his aimless flying led him back to the day-care Tyler had started, leans against the wall.* "Don'T fake innocence with me. I know you better. Remember Thailand?" *he turns and heads out towards the streets.* "I'll start looking." *and he takes off towards the park, looking for sparks*

'why bother ..? .. its been too long for me anyways .. he's not worth the time now'
*then speeds up and exits the far end of the alley and does some fancy footwork to avoid a couple of vehicles moving along the side street and vanishes again down the back alley .. heading towards the sea wall, and hopes that the fresh air, if you could call it that, it brings to the tired city.
*once there slows and then plunks down on a bench to think things thru*
...o0( now who is the Madam? .. and why can't i remember where i was? .. mom .. what happened to mom? .. oh .. car accident, then i was in the hospital .. then .. it goes blank .. what happened to me? .. why aren't my eyes and hair the color i was born with? .. what did they do to me? .. )
'oh god .. why cant iremember?" *then stares up into the sky for a little while as the tears fall unchecked .. 'you want me? .. better come get me then you *insert cuss word here*, i ain't afraid of you'

" Thailand? That wasn't my fault either. They should've had signs up." Tyler replied semi annoyed at the inference as he called after. He cupped his hands and shouted as William cruised away ." Try around the park. Trev insisted on trying to keep an eye on her so he should be nearby."
[Sparks]
" Ahhhh. Crying won't do you any good." the voice in her head replied. " and such language, tsk tsk. Too bad your so quick, you're shadow can't find you." The voice became aloud as a tall woman dressed in Brethen colors almost seemed to hover into view. " But I sent some friends to help him find his way home, eventually." She smirked as she touched down and began to walk closer.

*Taking Tyler's advice, William flies off, still in the dark clothes, to find Trevor, and then Sparks.*

'so? .. shouldn't be shocked about the language skank .. ' *getting to the feet and staring at her*
'you obviously went to a lot of trouble to find me .. now i wonder why?' *pushing backwards and rolling slowly, keeping her distance*
'i see that you're the type of person that follows orders, i'm not. i survived this long alone, so why come after me now? .. and why do i feel like i know you?'
*maintains her distance as she seems to know where she's going as she continues to roll backwards. 'besides, why only one of you? .. shouldn't there be more of you about to take down a single person? .. that is the way you do things .. isn't it?'
*hand slides into the pocket and fingers a marble and removes it from the fabric with it hissing slightly from the charge it has as the other hand shakes the slingshot loose from the sleeve. then arming the slingshot, maintains the distance while the mind thinks 'gonna rock this town' (song by the Stray Cats).

" Madam didn't know you had finally changed. You should have seen the look on her face." the stranger replied, continuing to walk closer slowly. "You honestly don't remember anything do you? I'm not here to take you down I'm here to bring you home. " She laughed, but it quickly disappeared. " But if you call me skank again, you'll find out how I got the name Torment. Now come along, Madam is waiting." She motioned for Sparks to come with her.
[Silverfire]
Once he'd reached the park, it hadn't taken Will long to follow the sounds of carnage in the nearby alleyways. Below, he spotted Trevor trying to stand up against a mountain of a man towering over him. The walls of the alley were charred and the smell of ozone filled the air. As he approached, another figure moved to intercept. The young man shook his head, hovering in front of Will. " This is none of your business. Stay out of it."

"I'm flattered." *says William* "You're the first not to call me an old man."
*And, with that, william Charges, lights up, and goes for a full body tackle, right in the torso, with the intent of ramming the kid either into the big man, or at least into the ground (letting go in time to get out himself). And then, with that accomplished, he'll continue on his way to find Sparks.*

'whatever .. i'm not anyone's property .. i'm my own person. i don't know you, i don't wanna .. but you gonna find out why i'm called what i am *insert nastier word*'
*then in one fluid motion draws back on the sling and fires at the woman moving in on her, then spins to take off away from her, not caring if she killed the woman or not.

" I thought that was a given." The intercepting mutant replied before adding an "Oomph" from the impact of Will's shoulder. To his surprise, the larger aggressor looked up and caught his oncoming companion, setting him down before turning his attention back to Trevor, pummeling the teenager again as he tried to get to his feet.
The smaller mutant regained his composure and took flight again, coming up behind Will. " My turn." he said, before unleashing a bolt of electricity that barely missed.
[Sparks]
Torment shrieked in agony as the marble struck home. " You rotten little b*&$#! I tried to make it easy on you!" It felt like someone jammed a steel bar acrossed the back of Spark's knees.
[OOC- only 2 pts dmg, but roll to see if she keeps her balance]

*feeling the blow hit home (58/60 - sense of balance), does the only thing possible for her .. and starts to powerskate forward. hopefully up to and into Torment, and do a shoulder hit to her waist before going past and out of sight along the seawall.
'batter's up' *as she charges, and then attempts the shoulder hit (strike - nat 20).
*leaving Torment behind, tries to put as much distance between herself and the strange woman who seems to know her for some reason. Shortly is reaching a high speed, but not going full out yet, slows down as she nears the end of the walkway and seems to rejoin the masses of humanity once again, blending in for now as she tries to figure out what is really going on.
