Ace takes a puff and raised a brow at Bervely. "well good morning to you to Berverly, being a stiff as always. lighten up, will ya?" Ace release a playful smile and puts down his smoke as he picks himself up off the wall "Its a free country you know, i can do what i want." Ace shrugs and walks away from the group.

Ace paused and turns around to Beverly "besides i rather have a short life-span rather than to spend my life living like a freak, a mutant, an outcast. discriminated by these so called 'gifts' " Ace sighed, showing a bit depress and way off of his cocky demeanor. "But meh, whatever, call me if Luxy shows up." Ace opens the fire exit's door and continues his smoke at the staircase, far away from the group.

As Ace walked away after his little depression spat."He can wish for death himself and call himself of freak all he wants. I for one am quite happy for my power even if it can be troublesome at time."

Realizing that the only person she really had much of interaction with was go she turned to the other person in the hall "So Kenny right? We didn't really get much time to talk yesterday did we, so whats your story? Any interesting plot twist in it hmm?"She asked with a fake cute smile on her face.

Lux yawned and stretched his arms as he awoke. The previous day had been quite long, but a good night's rest had done wonders for the newly appointed leader. He got out of bed and changed back into his street clothes before noticing a memo.

Newest members of the Organization

I would ask that you meet me in my office after you've had something to eat. There is a kitchen near the back of the first floor. You may fix yourselves something there, or go about finding a meal in the city. Either way, meet as a group and come to my office, the furthest room on the second floor.

My regards,

Cedric Sterling

Lux grinned lightly. Finally, their search for the Pillar might be getting underway. He'd at last be seeking out the answers he'd been longing for since the incident first occurred. The young man left his room and took the elevator to the first floor. He went to the kitchen in the back and rustled up a bowl of Froot Loops and milk. Before leaving the kitchen, he also made himself a cup of tea. He then proceeded to Cedric's office, where he found Beverly and Kenny outside the door. "Hey, you two lovebirds, cut the chatter. We have a meeting with Mr. Sterling now. And where's that speedster? For someone who can move faster than I can blink, he seems to have a horrible habit of turning up late."

"Oy! I'm right here, i'm just taking a smoke, don't get your hopes up Sunshine, you're the one who showed up late." Ace said while sitting on the stairs. He flicks his cigar and opens the fire exit door near the hall as the speedster emerges from it and step forth towards the group, "So what now?" said Ace facing the group near Sterling's office.

"Guys, we've got a problem! Rebecca's missing!"

Rebecca... Rebecca? Being woken up somewhat by the yelling, the words took a few seconds for them to sink in. When they did though, Alice sat up quickly, remembering the events of the previous day and remembering the girl who walked out durring conversation. She said she was going for a walk, did she not come back..? Thats not good, she thought, standing up and yawning quickly. Pulling her shoes on and tying her hair back so in wasn't everywhere, she straitened her bangs and walked out of the guest room.

"Isn't it obvious? since we're all here, we go into the Office."

Kenny then started to turn the handle of the door of Cedric's Office, but stopped partway through.

"Do you even know what is in those things, Ace?"

He then finished opening the Door, and walked into Cedric's Office.

"Your guess is as good as mine" Ace shrugs at Kenny's question. "no wonder chivalry is dead, well after you ladies." Ace jokingly said to Beverly and Lux.

"Curses right when I was trying to get so more information about the other people every one had to show up." Beverly thought to herself as Lux showed

"no wonder chivalry is dead, well after you ladies." Ace said to her and Lux after Kenny walked into the office.

"Well chivalry is dead because unfortunately women taste in men change to my dismay way." Beverly said with a frown as she entered the office behind Kenny.

Lux grimaced as Ace referred to him as a "lady." That asshole really knows how to strike a nerve, he thought to himself as he walked into the office behind the others.

Allen flailed for a moment, startled by the sudden noise. Missing? He quickly stood up from the bed and rushed to find Beetle, accelerating with a small use of his power. It released a bit of radiation, yes, but significantly less than what one would normally experience simply from being on Earth.

Eugene woke up with a small panic attack. For a moment he thought he was caught again, before he remembered he was in a save place. And who was Rebecca? He opened the bedroom door and stuck his head out to see if anyone else was around, before walking carefully towards the noise.

Ace notice Lux's displease reaction from his inconsiderate humor as the rest of the group enters the room, this isn't the first time he pisses off someone due to his brash attitude. Meh, I'm sure he'll get over it, since we're here for the long run. well as the note said, come as a group. Ace puts his headphones on his ears and start listening to some tunes as he enters Sterling's office with not a care in the world.

Cedric glanced up from his papers as the group entered the office. He gave Ace a look as he noticed the headphones, but said nothing.

"Ah, good to see that you all got my note," he said, giving a friendly smile. "You're a bit earlier than expected, but it's the early bird that catches the worm, as they say."

He cleared his throat as he took a glance at each of them. "I've called you all here for two reasons. The first of these reasons involves Lux and Beverly. As I explained to Lux before the rest of you arrived, the goal of your small party will be to attend a dinner party." He gave a sly smile. "Now obviously, you will be doing more than simply enjoying yourselves. The party will be hosted by a member of the governments newest branch, B.O.A." He paused, clasping his hands. "As far as we know, B.O.A. was created to handle all things Pillar related. They are in charge of finding the dangerous ones among us Awakened and incapacitating them. They likely have a division that investigates the Pillar itself. Whether or not that is true, I do not know for certain." He gave the two a meaningful look. "This is the kind of information I hope you can uncover at the dinner party. Undoubtedly, if any such information is kept at the house, it will be in a locked environment. That is why the Bartender will be accompanying the both of you. He'll be serving drinks at the party. Wait for his signal before you sneak away. He will follow behind when an opening arises. In the meantime, you will try to uncover whatever you can. Knowledge of the Pillar is important for us, as people and as Awakened. But first and foremost, be careful."

He turned to Kenny and Ace. "The two of you will be on a different mission. I've received notice from a contact of mine that there is a person of interest being held by the authorities. The problem is confined to the local level for now, so we need to move before word reaches the government and it's too late. According to this contact, one of the Awakened was captured last night; a girl with control over fire. He believes that she may be interested in joining our cause if we can get her out of where she's being held. It's a risk, but I believe the reward to be worth it. We have no one with that sort of power thus far, and it could be immensely useful. My contact is apparently a rather high-ranking individual, and he promises that our "rescue" will be covered up if we succeed. The government cannot allow word of this to get out for fear of panic, and the captured Awakened is considered low-risk, so we should be in the clear once you get out. She is being held in a small facility on the outskirts of New York. Just... try not to cause too much damage." He paused, letting out a weary sigh. "I know this sounds like a big risk, but... I trust this contact. He's been nothing but a boon to us in the past."

He looked over the entire group again.

"Now... are there any questions?"

Jude stood in front of Zweiss, who stood behind a desk in what appeared to be his office. There were no pictures, or anything else, really, that gave a clue as to any family members or loved ones. It was a bit unsettling in some ways.

Zweiss walked around to the front of the desk as Jude entered, a calm expression on his face.

"Jude... excellent. I've called you here for your first mission, of sorts." He paced across the room, hands clasped behind his back, his deep blue coat trailing just above the floor.

"This is a recruitment mission, of sorts. However, it is more complicated than that... and I think you may find it a bit thrilling." He paused again, looking Jude in the eye. "Just on the outskirts of the city, there is a small containment facility. Apparently, there is a fellow Awakened being held there currently. A girl who wields pyrokinesis.The plan is simple: you go in, get the girl, and get out. It should be simple for someone with an ability like yours." He paused again, appearing to recede into his thoughts, perhaps struggling on a decision.

He continued after a few moments.

"After experiencing such a capture by ungifted humans, she is likely to bear some resentment towards them. Use this, and try to convince her to join us. Do not force her. A forced ally is of little use, and will only become an enemy and threat in the future." He motioned towards the door. "A car will arrive in the evening, around 5:00. It will take you where you need to go, and be waiting a few blocks down when you are finished. Any questions?"

Beetle looked at the others before rushing upstairs. Nexus was already seated at the table, as per usual. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't simply stand by while one of us is missing," he called out. "Nexus, I'm going out." Nexus simply nodded, the hood still obscuring his face. He held out a hand, a portal appearing by the wall. Beetle ran through, but the portal remained open. Nexus expected that at least some of the others would follow. He would simply wait for them to ready themselves and gather what they might think they needed.

Lux cleared his throat, stepping forward. "Is there anything in particular we need to know about the guests? And what is our cover? I doubt two teenagers will be able to maintain any form of facade of independence long without an adult there to be our 'chaperone,' so to speak."

"Is there anything in particular we need to know about the guests? And what is our cover? I doubt two teenagers will be able to maintain any form of facade of independence long without an adult there to be our 'chaperone,' so to speak."

Cedric gave an embarassed smile, placing his palm on his forehead in a "should have remembered" type gesture.

"Ah, yes, how silly of me. Sometimes, it is easy to forget your age. If the invitation is not enough, simply tell them that you are relatives of Cedric Sterling, head of 'Sterling Insurance.' They should recognize the name from their mailing list, but if they still persist, the Bartender can vouch for you. I myself will make an appearance later, so I can get you in then, if need be, Reps of an insurance company won't attract much interest either, so you shouldn't have to worry about making much chit-chat."

Ace removes his headset and heard bits of Sterling's assignments to him and Kenny. "more like a suicide mission..." Ace grins "Welp, consider it done boss, nothing beats my speed." He cockily said. "Is there anything we should know about the premise? surely its heavily guarded."

"Is there anything we should know about the premise? surely its heavily guarded."

Cedric sighed.

"I can't say I know too much about the place myself, but I was told that a small group should be able to accomplish the task. Remember, this is the local authorities handling of a low-risk threat according to what I've been told, so you shouldn't encounter too much resistance before your speed can get you out of there. Still, don't drop your guard. Your safety is the most important thing in this mission."

He paused, a guilty look coming upon his face.

"I would accompany your group, rather than attend the dinner party if my ability allowed it. I can't help but feel a bit guilty that I can't be there for such a task."

Ace nodded. "Surely that place is fireproof considering they're holding a prisoner that can controls fire..but don't worry about it boss, rest assure, with my speed and Kenny's aura blasts, this mission will be a breeze." Ace confidently said. "We'll get this girl out safely and still have time for your dinner party."

Beverly giggled a little at Lux's concern. "Well I guess i should be flattered but you won't have to worry about my age I'm older then I look." she said with a smile to Lux.

"So what exactlly will you need me to do, my power is not the best thing for groups after all? Also is there a shower room anywhere around here I probably should clean up a bit before going to a dinner and probably get some new clothes I been wearing the samething for awhile now?" Beverly said well turning to Cedric.

occ (sorry if theres any problems with the post my internet is dowm so i had to use my phone.)

Lux grinned sheepishly at Beverly's response, then nodded to Cedric. "You've got it. Don't worry, Mr. Sterling. We'll get the job done. I have yet to meet a security guard who can move faster than light."

He then looked over at Ace and Kenny. "Make sure you get this done correctly. With that pyrokinetic on our side, the tide of many a battle could turn in our favor. But most importantly, be safe. The goal here is not to sacrifice one of our force for a new one; it is to make us stronger. Don't be reckless, and be safe."

Kenny smiled at the rest of the group, and then spoke to Lux.

"Don't worry, Lux, we've got it covered."

then, he noticed a small lump in his Pocket.

huh? what's this?

Kenny reached into his Pocket and pulled out a Necklace that had a Quartz Crystal for the Pendant.

oh, so that's where it went. I thought I lost it somewhere back when I was on the run... good to know that i still have it.

Kenny then put on the Necklace, only to feel a bit more powerful.

Huh?! What the heck is going on?!

the feeling faded after a few seconds. Kenny decided to test something out.

"Guys, before we head out, i'm going to test something out. i'll be in the Training Room."

he then started to head out, but stopped.

"By the way, Cedric, i have no questions."

he then headed to the Training Room.

"So what exactlly will you need me to do, my power is not the best thing for groups after all? Also is there a shower room anywhere around here I probably should clean up a bit before going to a dinner and probably get some new clothes I been wearing the same thing for awhile now?"

"You will be there as a backup plan," Cedric explained. If the both of you should be found out while searching, you should simply rearrange their memory so they forget all about it. Do not do anything more than necessary though. We are supposed to be an Organization for the people, as well as the Awakened." He took a glance at Lux as he said the last part.

"As for the showers, you should be able to find them near the end of the hall by your rooms. There's plenty available, so you shouldn't have a problem with usage."

Supernovae

Zweiss nodded.

"Excellent. I may send some reinforcements after you, just to be certain that nothing goes wrong. It will only be 2 or 3 members, nothing too significant. If there are no questions, then that is all. The day is left to you until your departure."

Hukuna

Zeus and Poseidon were waiting in the lobby when Viktor entered the building.

"Hello, Viktor," Zeus began. "I suppose today will be your first look into what it is like being a part of Olympus. At times, it can be quite boring. But sometimes, things get rather eventful, and oftentimes dangerous." He motioned around the room. "We spend a lo of our time on standby, waiting for a call from BOA. If there is a particularly powerful or useful Awakened on the loose, they call us for help."

He waved a hand dismissively. "But until then, we are mostly free. Of course, there are meetings and such we must attend periodically, as well as certain government events. I, for one, would like to personally invite you to such an event." He smiled. "The members of Olympus have been invited to a dinner party taking place tonight, a celebration of the new branch of government, BOA. It will be hosted by Mr. Taylor, a rather high-ranking individual, taking his place right under Ms. Archer herself. You could also consider it an informal celebration of Olympus, as we were formed around the same time. How about it?"

Arkhidon

Keaton was greeted in the halls by a whistling Hades. His eyes were closed a he meandered through, twirling a donut around his finger and apparently not paying much attention to anything but his song. It was a strange tune, one that Keaton couldn't recognize, and it sounded like random notes thrown together. He stopped walking as he reached Keaton, his whistling slowly fading away as well. He looked down at Keaton, almost as if surprised to see him.

"Oh. Well hello again." He took a bite out of the donut, giving Keaton an inquisitive look. "...What are you doing here?"

Hukuna

Zeus shrugged. "Well, since you are now officially a member of Olympus, I figured that the invitation should extend to you as well. But you are correct, in a way. While we are there mostly so people can get a look at just who we are, we are also somewhat of an unofficial security team. While I wouldn't expect any mishaps at such an event, you can never be too careful when so many important members of government are gathered in one place, especially with the relatively new threat to be found in the Awakened. Beyond that, you could use this to get your name out there among the government. When people know who you are, it becomes a lot easier to get certain things done."

He paused, looking as if he had just remembered something.

"Speaking of names... perhaps you should think of a codename for yourself. As a member of Olympus, a name relating to the Greek gods could be appropriate, as seen in our prior trio. Perhaps Ichor, the blood of the gods? It would certainly reflect your ability well. The decision is completely yours, though. There is no need for urgency on the matter."
