Ugh, stuck between those two while on a flight home for Thanksgiving weekend, poor Amy. Ugh, old lady bugging her about 'dying' her hair that color and even grabbing some strands of Amy's hair, rude. Woman calls her rude and ungrateful after grabbing some of Amy's hair, talk about a hypocrite.
One of them was even holding up a sign that read, ‘WELCOME BACK FROM PRISON, AMY’.
Hehe, I love Kara, calling the school a prison is just too classic. Mom and Beth there as well, what are the odds of a normal Thanksgiving weekend.
“Violet,” Kara exclaimed in mock surprise. “You’re turning violet, Violet.”
Willy Wonka, now there is a classic. Awww, only able to bring back her batteries and essence battery.
Portland Oregon, Wednesday evening, Nov 21st, 2007
3 months of her mom's lab not being cleaned, the horror, the horror. A bench set aside just for Amy, how sweet. Pizza ordered in, yum. Talk of the training team brings back memories for Beth and Mom, Kaleidoscope was a part of theirs back in the day, interesting.
“They are,” I agreed. “Monkeywrench and Melissa aren’t exactly sane, but they are definitely fun…”
“I like them already,” Kara said with a chuckle.
Why do I have the feeling she would join in a prank war if she were at Whateley. Kara almost jealous of Alyss, just because you have things in common doesn't mean you are compatible. Hehehe, going back to Amy's room to continue the conversation, cute couple.
Portland Oregon, Thursday late morning, Nov 22nd, 2007
Going out to eat and Beth looking over Mom since before Amy was born. Beth called due to a supervillain being spotted in the area, no break even on Thanksgiving. Hhm, forgot Beth's PK shell made her look like she is made of marble, Statuesque, forgot her codename as well, heh. Devisor specializes in things with EM fields, was curious about that.
Bwahahaha, Jade has so many people fooled but thinking that Jericho's outfits are devisor-based wardrobe, that is a first. Kara wanting to manifest so she can go to Whateley as if it isn't crazy there already. So McDonald's or go back home and have Amy make something, go with option 2. Ooo, Kara sure loves to tease her girlfriend.
Someone running past, electricity flowing off her body, very good thing Amy is an energizer right now, no telling how much that would have hurt. A girl just a year or 2 older than Amy, saying Portland is there territory, who are they? Telling Amy to get out of town, this got weird fast. And off that fast, I hope she doesn't show up later with friends.
Portland Oregon, Thursday evening, Nov 22nd, 2007
Instead of cooking an entire turkey, I baked some turkey thighs with an orange glaze and served them with mashed potatoes and a traditional green bean casserole.
*drools* And I would think it better if Amy went to work for Mrs. Lawrence as part of her catering business.
It figures, a new mutant gang in the area, just what isn't needed. At least that girl isn't the villain Beth was looking for. Good to see Beth insisting she and Mom clean the dishes. And boy, Kara is trying to make sure Amy goes back to Whateley with some great memories. At least her devises look like technology, even if you can't figure out what they do without asking.
“I just hope that when I manifest, I don’t end up as a devisor. You guys are all crazy.”
“I’d argue that,” I replied as I started towards the armory, “but I know too many devisors.”
And the fact almost everyone thinks Jade is a devisor doesn't help.
Portland Oregon, Friday morning, Nov 23rd, 2007
Going shopping on Black Friday for a gaming system, Kara likes to live dangerously. That line, the odds of something not happening while they wait in line have reached zero. Darn, out of the game system before they even get to the door. A small cafe with Mexican fusion food, interesting indeed.
We’d both ordered the bulgogi tacos and were sharing an order of teriyaki nachos.
Once more that esper ability of hers comes in handy. A hipster guy who can turn invisible, part of the mutant gang, the girl from yesterday and 3 others show up, this is bad.
One of them was an Asian girl with her long black hair pulled back into a pair of long ponytails, one each side. She wore a black T shirt with a Hello Kitty logo on it and a red and white skirt. Once she stopped a short distance away, she smirked and adjusted the glasses she wore.
Oh no, Jade has an evil doppelganger!
The next was a stocky guy with short dark hair. He was wearing a wifebeater shirt, and his exposed arms were both covered with full tattoo sleeves.
Finally, there was another girl, who looked to be older than the rest, though barely. She had tanned skin, long crimson hair, and eyes that were black and red. This girl was smirking and looking rather smug, especially with the baseball bat she was casually holding.
Disintegrator Girl, if you have to bluff then go big, nice one Kara. Krimson, Slammer, Shelly Shock, Senshi, and Snooze. Power Patrol and think they can claim Portland as theirs, *groans*
Making them fall with a shockwave stomp from Slammer, a bunch of bullies and cowards. Nice TK throw of the baseball bat by Amy. Crud, a speedster, and Krimson a teleporter, this is extremely bad, please let Beth show up soon. Bluffing again and pulling out a gun only for Senshi to notice, and the gun fires a spray which forms crystals, awesome. Amy able to avoid Shelly Shock's attacks, all that training has worked.
Darn, Krimson getting punched in the face by Kara and barely feeling it. Got Shelly and Krimson in one shot, only for Senshi and Slammer to start breaking free of the crystals. Dang, the gun only had enough for 3 shots, run home, girls. Kara with a disintegrator, felt a chill go up my spine at the thought. Who is watching them now? Talk of another rematch and Kara is excited, why do I get the feeling they are messing with us and it is really just a game of some sort and not innuendo?
Portland Oregon, Saturday early morning, Nov 24th, 2007
“It is what it is,” I muttered to myself. Some changes are neither good or bad, they’re just different.
A healthy way to look at life. Joking about still being a girl, guess a few months isn't enough to fully adapt. And Amy has a very unique outlook on it as well, interesting.
My thoughts turned to my bed, which was just an ordinary bed, not at all like the one I slept in back at Whateley. My bed in Hawthorne was set up with all sorts of high-tech sensors, which fed my medical information to Doyle and set off alarms if I went into a burnout. I suspected that Mom was thinking about making me something along those lines before I came home for Christmas.
Sleeping with all that around you, I would go nuts. And devisor today, we might get to see what this project of Amy's is finally. Losing track of time and her surroundings, now that is an extreme focus and a bit scary to think about.
Hehe, Mom watching Amy with a proud look on her face. A coil gun for something in between her rail gun and needle gun, nice. Yikes, that obsessive focus common to devisors is as scary as I thought, tired, hungry and needing to go to the bathroom without realizing it until out of the focus state.
Portland Oregon, Saturday afternoon, Nov 24th, 2007
I hope the Power Patrol gets taken down hard and taught a lesson that public property isn't their territory to claim. Lost an entire Lego collection due to playing with a heat ray, yikes.
My new weapon was about a foot and a half long, a lot harder to hide than my needle gun, but not impossible.
Amy's mom did that when trying to cook eggs, eep.
Crepes, she would have everyone from all the other dorms willing to pay to have her make them some.
“Team Awesome?” Kara asked curiously.
“Imagine a group of hyperactive little kids,” I instructed. Now, give them all powers.”
And with that description you pity anyone who has to babysit them, well, except Murphy, she makes it fun for all. Leaving the cafe and of course, Shelly Shock is scouting, don't these idiots realize there might be other mutants who live in the area and just leave them in peace. Hehe, love how Kara is just so snarky with SS in her responses.
Amy even says Portland is her hometown, nice bits by Kara including the Incredible Hulk quote. And the whole gang is there, these kids need to be taught a lesson. Amy avoids Krimson and gets in a good hit, but Snooze has grabbed Kara. Ooo, groin shot by Amy to Slammer, and Kara has the crystal gun and hits Shelly, nice. And Snooze lets go and get hit by the crystal gun for his troubles, Kara needs training but is pretty good to hit an invisible target even if she knew his general area.
As Amy and Kara try to run only for Krimson to block them, only to be scared off when she saw the coil gun aimed at her. The Power Patrol all coming down the alley after them.
My coil gun was similar in nature to both my rail gun and my needle guns, in that it used electro-magnetic fields to fire metal projectiles. However, this one was different in that the projectiles were metal spheres, each the size of a golf ball. In fact, I’d designed it to fire the bomblets from my mom’s cluster bomb since we had plenty of those available, and plenty empty shells I could customize. Unfortunately, I hadn’t had time to customize any rounds, so had to use what was already available.
Now that is a weapon.
Darn it, came even after a warning shot, Krimson hits Amy from behind and Shelly tases Kara, where are the local heroes! Krimson only a high level one or two exemplar. Having to attack in a group that outnumbers them more than 2 to 1, Slammer knocking Amy off her feet and Senshi coming at her with a PK spear, *eyes bug out* At least Kara stopped Snooze from getting the coil gun.
Amy avoids Senshi's blow, then avoids being knocked off her feet by Slammer again only for the rest of PP to fall down. Oh crap! Amy is having a burnout, at least Senshi is somewhat concerned about it. And this stopped the fight, Shelly lost a friend to burnout, Snooze thinking they should call an ambulance, right as the burnout ended. They don't even want to fight, still thinking Kara should call 911.
The woman looked strange and not just because she was wearing a green and black costume that covered nearly everything from her neck down. She had tanned skin and long black hair that was tied up in a lot of braids, which resembled dreadlocks a bit, though metal rings were woven into some of the ends.
So this is who has been watching them. Not Bombastic! This psycho will kill them all if she isn't stopped, no wonder Beth had been called in to deal with her.
Great, first she went after Glow and now she is here, she needs to be put down. Stabbed by a PK spear and zapped by Shelly, yet Bombastic says it tickles everyone run! Causes an explosion and sent flying back, yet she liked it.
“She’s crazier than Melissa,” I gasped in disbelief.
Bound to meet someone like that sooner or later, Melissa is fun crazy, Bombastic is dangerous crazy. Unleashes a blast like that and knocks over several of the PP, hitting Krimson right in the chest. All of them that banged up, Shelly slashed in in her shoulder when she tries to charge Bombastic, we need local heroes already, things are looking grim.
Dang, coil gun shot leaves Bombastic's legs torn up and bloody, hope this slow her down even a little. Ouch, hit by one of Bombastic's blast even at that range, she is going to be in pain. Kara coats Bombastic in crystal only for her to blast free, dang it! A direct hit with the coil gun, that much damage to Bombastic, now run while she is stunned! Darn regen 6, they need a way to put her down for good.
Bombastic is obsessed with pretty hair and eyes, planning on keeping Amy's head as well, *cringes* Krimson hit and teleport away, then Shelly, they still claim Portland as their turf but at least they don't want this psycho in it. And Bombastic still planning to kill Crucibelle. Blowing up the ground to send herself flying into the air again, why hasn't a way to contain Bombastic been discovered yet?
Bombastic is insane but I wouldn't underestimate her, and I'm agreeing with Amy, wish some of her friends were here. Two shots, legs taken out and tears Bombastic's upper body to pieces, yet she is already getting back to her feet. Oh goodie, I hope this bomblet shell is something good. A foam load shell to coat Bombastic in, very nice. Low friction foam, now let's hope Bombastic isn't smart enough to blast the ground around her to get free of this.
*facepalms* Bombastic is actually having fun with it, I would pity her if she wasn't such a psycho killer. Crud, she blasted herself free like I thought she would. Statuesque and Zero-G show up, finally, they can deal with this psycho. Of course the PP run off the second heroes show up, wonder if they will move on from Portland. Hhm, at least Krimson and Senshi acknowledge Amy, maybe they will leave her and Kara alone in the future.
“Hey, put me down,” the villainess called out as she went up. “Hey, I’m a balloon…”
Antigravity gun, 10 minutes before it would wear off, nice. Great, a lecture about how dangerous it is to fight supervillains from Beth.
Portland Oregon, Saturday evening, Nov 24th, 2007
Mom mothering Amy due to all her bruising, nice to see. Warning about how dangerous Bombastic is, how they could have been killed, it was obvious to anyone fighting her how dangerous she is. Coil gun's only drawback is having to make own ammo including custom loads, still a very impressive weapon. Painted orange and people would think it is a toy, heh, wonder how many devisors do that with their inventions, pass them off as toys, etc.
Oh good, Bombastic locked up finally, please let her not escape or be broken out any time soon. Marshmallow gun, for a devisor I have to wonder how dangerous that could be. Ouch, having to leave before the sun even comes up, early flights suck. Kara worried she won't manifest as a mutant, awww. Ah, kissing game with points grades for how good the kiss is, was off about what their game was.
Whateley Academy, Sunday early afternoon, Nov 25th, 2007
Back at Hawthorne and wanting a nap, Exemplar right now and greeted by Mrs. Cantrel.
“Oh, before I forget,” Mrs. Cantrel told me. “There’s a seminar this afternoon on how to deal with the MCO, and while it isn’t mandatory, I am suggesting that everyone go.”
And on very short notice, oh well. Orange and yellow laminate to disguise her coil gun and it worked, those MCO guys need better training.
Adore not talkative, wish she would open up more. Enough students and teachers to make holding the seminar worth it, heh. Martina from Poe and Nemesis, trying to recall Nemesis if we have seen her before. Miles Wylann, good man to be giving this seminar. And finding out Absinthe aka Gwen Wylann is his daughter, wonder if that shut up some of the hecklers.
“He helped me out last August,” I told her with a faint smile. “A total professional.”
Already missing home but at least Christmas is just next month.
This was a great story, seeing Amy with Kara again, Beth and Mom, how things are back in Portland. After it all the Power Patrol seem like a group of misguided teenagers who think they can't do better for themselves in life and in need of a mentor to guide them to a better path. Amy and Kara fighting back against the Power Patrol each time, shows the difference between raw power and the training to use them. The coil gun is an awesome weapon, can't wait to see what different loads she comes up with for it.
I remember Bombastic from the Glow stories all too well, hard to forget someone that creepy. Glad that no one died fighting her and she is finally locked up. And nice surprised with Miles Wylann being the MCO agent brought in for the seminar. Can't wait to read more of Amy's adventures, especially next time she gets to be with Kara.
Note: My story comments can't nor are trying to replace reading the stories, simply my way of enjoying them and letting the authors know I enjoy them.
