Area 52

Wow, you guys are fast, or maybe I was slow, oh wells. I know I had Berlin a history, but it looks like we all start in cells of some sort.

Pain, heart-rending pain.
Brilliant stabs of light from halogen lamps cut across the room and hit my wrists and ankles, holding them in place as firmly as if I was chained physically. I'd asked, pleaded, begged for a little shade, but they wouldn't listen, they never listened. Even then, I found myself defending them, despite myself.
"Perhaps they have reasons that make sense to them," I thought. "Perhaps they don't want to, and only follow orders.
It was so much easier to think that others didn't really mean to hurt you. I would be burdened with anger and a terrible lust for vengeance if I didn't; as it was, I was only burdened with pain.
Boom
Something, someone was coming...

hey, you could be a free supernatural lik my twin character Nova. Anyway:

"Hey, wait a second. I feel someone." I said to Rose and Vana. They shrugged after my stop of energy I guess they were a bit afraid of me...which s why I hated the curse gift I was given.

I walked towards a bright light and heard begging.

"Please, just a little darker, please" the voice whispered. I took all the energy from earlier that I had stored inside of me and blastd it through the walls.

Boom

I immidiatly took the energy from the lights and it was pitch dark yet I could still see perfectly. The guy sighed gratefully.

"Are you alright?" I asked timidly/

"Are you alright?"
The voice came to my ears after a something shook the walls and threw debris over me. The lights went out a second later and I was plunged into blessed darkness. The difference was so great, and the relief so powerful that I forgot to answer the question.
"Hey, are you okay?"
In the dark, I could see far better than normal humans saw, but the lights had blinded me for so long that I couldn't make out much, just a face, a few lines, eyes that sparkled in the dark.
"I..."words came like syrup to my lips. "I was...What happened?"
Another explosion rocked the concrete chamber and dust rained down on us.
"No time for that!" the rescuer shouted, grabbing my arm. "We've got to go!"
Normally, I would have never let another being touch me. The closer others came to me, the more certain it was that they would feel pain, physical, emotion pain, just form being near me. It was almost like a curse that hovered over me.
"We need to get out,"the girl was saying, and now I could see clearly each on of our companions. "Maybe one of the missiles-"
At that moment, a brighter light than the one that had held me shone down on us from above.
"Breach in cell areas. All personal report to recapture assembly. Breach in cell..."
The monotonous voice was loud and blaring, but it was the least of our problems, up ahead, men in dark black suits waving guns entered the other end of the hall.

Lance~

I looked to the side after snapping at Mikael, and noticed some guys in black suits. Crap. I suppose it was a little too good to be true.

"Screw it. I need a driver", I told Mikael, and then started dragging him up to the next floor. No way I was going to drive, and considering these guys had guns, I didn't want to spend a lot of time with them.

We were running amongst the crowds in a straight line; which includes me shouting holes through more walls. It was a bit of a sprint, and we dodged a few more suit guys, but eventually, our path led to a type of vault door.

Some guy came around the corner and readied his gun. I quickly gave a scream at him, throwing him back. I gave a shout through the wall and lifted Mikael through.

The room wasn't exactly what I thought it was; it was an armory. All sorts of guns, tasers, swords, anything you would need.

I kept looking around. I took a cool looking magnum pistol and some rounds to go with it, and then I noticed something else in the little armory vault; a dark closet in the back that had a sign that said "Confiscated" written on it. I opened it up, and some more...unique items were in here. Not much caught my eye, except for my old two items; Solution and my voice box.

Solution is my guitar. I don't know why I named it that, or named it at all, but it seemed kind of cool. It was a deep blue painted electric guitar, with a skull shaped headstock. Also, within the body was a little speaker that worked as a miniature amplifier. I didn't like playing acoustics, so I modded the thing so I could have an amp in it at all times.

Then there was the talk box. This little toy had a tube and a wire, going into my mouth and into an amplifier (and of course, my guitar). Another little speaker that let me do some cool effects. It really kicked ass in a cover my old band did of Kickstart My Heart (Originally by Motley Crue).

I quickly grabbed both and plugged in the voice box, securing the tube. I heard a step come into the armory, from one of the suits I assumed. I turned the corner and played a loud power chord, while shouting with the voice box. The volume from the guitar mixed with my voice's strength shouted into the talk box created an insanely strong sonic blast from the guitar's speaker. The suit guy I fired it at flew through about two walls. He was definetely dead.

I had a good quality weapon, so I was safe to get the hell out of there.

"Stay back", I told to Mikael. I walked out of the hall and turned right, to see two more suits just turned the corner. I gave another power chord and threw them both through the next two walls. I just walked forward and had my hands ready for anyone else.

This was the most fun I'd had in a long time. I started blasting through a few random walls, looking for an exit. This place had to have an exit somewhere.

*Yavana*

I was about to say something when a another explosion, bigger than the others, rang through my ears. Nova grabbed the dude we found and I ran out.
Standing directly behind a caved in wall was a dude with a gutair and another guy. I ran up to them, well, floated actually since I was standing on rocks. Air surfing, my favirote sport. I turned to the one with the gutair.
" Um, what the hell?" I looked behind them for a quick moment and saw two guards sneaking up. I quickly killed them with a few rocks. I looked back at the boy, it took every thing I had not to take his gutair.
" Good question," he answered," tell me when you find the answer." I looked back at Rose who was looking around nervosly," I'm Lance."
" Yavana," I replied tensly," but no time for introductions," I was serious but for some reason my face wanted to smile," we have to get out of here." I pulled a giant rock out of the ground. That should be able to hold all six of us.
" Maxium weight capacity is 1000 pounds." They all looked at me like I was crazy, maybe I was," Come on! I'm gonna fly us outta here."

Lance~

I threw Mikael up onto the rock and then jumped on. The rest of Yavana's small group got on too. She was on some smaller rock in front, and started moving forward.

Flying on a giant rock is pretty wierd, but cool wierd. It felt like one of the music videos the old band did.

We kept going on upwards. The area we were flying out of looked like a desert. The sun was up, definetely day time. A bunch more suits and a few guys in soldier outfits were pointing guns at us.

"Little help here?", Yavana asked the group. I looked down at the ground, and gave 'them another talk-box power chord. The sound knocked them all to the ground, and dust flied everywhere.

The ground forces were taken care of, but a little more behind us was a chopper. One more chord, and the whole helicopter just exploded. I gave a little guitar solo afterwards, just for the fun of it.

I could get used to doing this sort of thing every day.

"So, who're the rest of you guys?"

I hesitated at the rock, knowing that it might lead me to lighted areas. But the others pulled me up and I had no choice but to return to the surface. My clothes had long since been taken away, and the men who imprisoned me had left me only boxers; their intent was perhaps to bare my skin against the cruel lights, but they may have also been making sure I could not escape.
"So, who're the rest of you guys?"
Funny he should consider such trivialities after a harrowing escape. I couldn't consider such trivialities, I couldn't have answered even if I wanted to. The sun beat down on my back, the brightness of it affecting me more than the heat.
"Shade," I croaked, trying to get under the mass of legs on the rock. "Cover me, please."
The pain was excruciating, but I knew the worst was yet to come.
My eyes.
The fear of losing them crept ever nearer.

*Yavana*

"Shade," Mikeal croked. I almost forgot about his -so to say- condition. I pulled up another rock and made it float above his head.
" There, better?" I asked, turning around. He said nothing but smiled at me. I took it as a 'hell yes' anyway. A bead of sweat formed on my brow. Controlling all of these rocks - and weight - was getting rather diffcult. I could still manage it, but I havnt praticed my powers in months. So, basically, I was earth-weak. I floated my little rock to the bigger " school bus" rock and sat on it, letting the little rock drop. The strain on my brain - I just rhymed - was a little less.
" You okay, Vana," someone whispered. I looked back and met Rose's worried expression. I gave her a reasurring smile.
" Just fi-" Everything went black and I winced as I felt air rushing past me.

I stood on the rock not really paying attention because I was more worried about something else; who had set off the bombs? I thought about it for a minute then finally resolved on accident, I mean there couldn't be others could there? I was just about to speak up and voice my thoughts when Yavana fell on the rock and the only thing keeping us from dying was plummeting to the ground.

I immediately stole all the energy from the area causing everyone on the rock to fall in fatigue and when I realized I needed more energy, pass out. I pushed the energy around us causing a sort of force field. We gently landing on the ground and I looked around. Plain desert, nothing my enhanced eyes could see for hundreds of hundreds of miles, or any water. Now what was I supposed to do? I had a group of powerful supernatural people unconscious around me...I did what any normal extremely exhausted supernatural would do...I screamed.

Lance~

"Ugh. What the hell happened?"

I got up and looked around. Nothing but desert. Everyone who got on the rock originally was now on the ground unconcuss, except for some person on her knees. She gave off a scream. She seemed very worried. Fair enough, we were in a desert, lost, and probably not too far from death, but was that really something to scream for? Maybe cry, but scream?

"Don't suppose you caused this fall?", I asked her. She didn't notice me walk up behind her. She just saw me and stopped moving. She seemed a little scared, and didn't move.

"You know, I don't really care. What's your name?"

"Nova", she replied, choking on her tears.

"Well look, I don't give a crap why we're down here, I just wanna get back to the city. Honestly, I'd rather not stick around here waiting to die. I'm gonna grab one other guy, and I'm gonna get out of here. You wanna come with us, go right ahead."

It seemed only right to get her to tag along. She didn't seem like much trouble. She thought she'd die, and the way I put it, she seemed to want to live.

I walked over through the sleeping supernaturals, and lifted up Mikael by his collar. He woke up almost instantly.

"Hey, Mikael, I'm headin' out, and you're comin' with me. Alright?"

"I guess", he said to me. At this point, he didn't seem to have any other plans, so he figured he may as well follow me. That's not too bad, I like followers.

We started walking off. We went in the direction we were originally flying in (the rocks left a little trail on the ground where we fell, if you want to know how I could tell). I checked my guitar to make sure it was fine (and thank god, it was), and turned around to look at the person who woke up first.

"So, my name's Lance, this is Mikael. You wanna come with us, or what?"

*Yavana*

I shook my head and glanced around. Rose was on the ground not to far away from me. The rest were gone.
" Rose," I tried to yell but my voice was hoarse. My head spun giving off that room-spinning feeling. I put my palms to the ground and could feel the vibration of footsteps not to far away. I scoffed and dusted off my hands. I really did hope they found a way out of this. " Rose!" I smiled, welcoming the return of my voice. She stirred and gave a cute little snort.
" Rose get up, we've got flying to do."

Loveless, you called me Mikael in a previous post. My name is Berlin.

Rocks.
Above my head, shielding me. A face against the light that promised me safety.
Rocks.
Falling around us, below us.
And then I felt someone taking my life away, my energy; sapping away into...something. I felt myself slip away.

..

I woke up a long time later, or at least it felt like that. I mainly felt the pain of light on me again. I crawled into the shade of a fallen rock, moaning from the pain. I could do almost nothing but listen, and heard voices discussing an escape plan. By now, we should have been far enough away for the guards not to find us easily, but I wasn't taking chances.
"Take me." I pleaded. "I can walk...just wait until nightfall, I can make it."
I didn't dare open my eyes, but I doubted if anyone would wait for me.

*Yavana*

Rose gave me one of those not-a-chance-in-hell looks. I tried to give her a reasurring smile, but I could feel my mouth disobey my orders and turn into a grimace.
" I just needed a bit of sleep. I'm well rested now and I won't have that much brain strain with only you." She stood there with her hands on her hips, tapping her foot slowly. It seemed like days had passed before she finially said okay. I smiled and lifted four small rocks from the ground.
" Ever been air surfing?" She gave me another one of those looks but got on the rocks anyway.
Rose was wobbly at first, but soon steadied out. Talk about a fast lerner, she was almost as good as me. Well maybe that was because I was controlling the rocks.
" Make sure you keep your fe-"
" Take me with you, please." I pulled both of us to a stop and floated to ground. There was Berlin, huddled under a rock in a pained attempt to get shade.
" Holy shit! Berlin." I made a earth sheild around him and could hear him sigh in relief. Rose patted the rock.
" Sorry, Berlin," she whispered. I pulled Rose and I back into the air and made Berlin's little earth sheild thing float behind us.
" Where do we go from here," Rose whispered.
" First we need to find somewhere to rest," I glanced back at Berlin," somewhere with shade." Rose's stomach growled and I laughed.
" Somewhere with food." I laughed again.
" Yeah. Can't forget the food."

Lance~

The heat was rediculous. It felt like we were surrounded by boiling water, but more dry. A little while back, I had to tear the sleeves off the white jumpsuit. It helped me feel less warm, but it also felt like the first time I was wearing something different than the rest of the prisoners.

I looked behind me. Nova and Mikael looked like they were having some introduction conversation. I stand by, I don't care who these people are, but nevertheless, I need some back up. Solution wouldn't be able to keep me safe from everything, wether I liked it or not.

We'd been out from that hellhole of a prison for quite a while now, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't follow us. They probably throught we'd die from the heat, and if not we'd probably be found if we entered a city, and caught again.

I've got to say, I thought I'd live an exciting life, but this was rediculous. We were escaped, super-powered prisoners who were walking along and hoping for the best. We had no idea where we were, and we all thought we'd die.

Well, I didn't. Most people are surprised when they find out I'm pretty optomistic about most things. I was pretty sure that we'd find at least a road after a bit of time.

Something else was bugging me; what happened in the prison that led us to here? A few explosions were going off, but by who, and why?

For some reason, I started coughing. I wasn't sick, I felt pretty good. I looked in the distance. The further it was, the greener. Radiation?

I felt kind of stupid doing this, but I kept going into the green.

"What the hell happened here?", I said to myself, aloud. I continued walking. I wanted to know what the hell was going on here.

I was about to turn back, when I noticed a sign on the ground with some sparks shooting out of it.

"Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas Nevada", I read aloud.

"So that's where we are, then?", Mikael asked.

"I suppose so".

The only assumption I had was that someone bombed Vegas with gas. Why would they do that? Vegas was awesome!

"So, forward is radiation. Where do we go now?", asked Nova.

"Forward", I replied. I had an idea.

I turned on the talk box and readied my fingers. I started a song called "Do you feel the way I do", by Peter Frampton. Not because it was a good song, it really sucked. However, it's about 13 minutes long, so I wouldn't get bored while playing it. I used my voice and enough sound came through to blow the gas directly in front of us away. I started walking forward and looked at the two behind me.

"Well, would you rather walk twice as long through the desert, or take a shorter route and see if we can find something better?", I asked them. They better hurry quick; I could walk and play, but if we stopped moving for long enough, I had a good feeling we'd die, and I didn't want to die waiting for an answer. They seemed to think I was crazy, which I was (for the most part), but I didn't see how my idea was crazy.

"Come on, answer! You still comin' or what?!?", I asked with a little more anger.

Mikael

"I'm game if you guy's are. If this all goes wrong it's you two that will die." I smirked, glad to be free.
"What do you mean? You mean ... you can't die?" Ask Nova looking suprised.
"Oh no i die alright. I just have a tendency not to stay that way. I've been doing it since 2010, i don't age and i don't die. Well at least not permenantly. Actually now i think about it, what got you in Are 52 Nova? Captian Voicebox over there is pretty obvious but you seem, different, like incomplete, half of a pair." In 200 years i had got good at reading people, from my first abusive guard who i quickly out lived to my more recent guard who had even spoken to me.
