Storm Bringer (Social thread)

[Jeisen]

Jeisen sat in the chair of the mobile air base command center, staring at the black device in his hands. His dark green cloak hung over his shoulders on his newly repair armor, fresh from the fight with Entei. It was still blaring not only on the London news, but also on that of a few new stations around the world. He could hear the T.V. reporters mewling over every little action from that fight but getting now where near close to what had actually happened. "A Demon" was not the description Jeisen would have chosen for his best friend. And right now, he was about to do the second hardest thing he has had to do in a very long time. Jeisen had to let Uzma know her fiancee was.... captured. He hit the button on the device, sending out an Alpha alert to Uzma. It was the highest non life threatening alert that the Guardians had. It was meant for when someone needed to share critical information with someone else that couldn't be trusted to electronic means. It would let her know he needed to talk and where he was. She could use her own teleporter to get to the base. Nolan floated down next to Jeisen

Nolan: "So... how are you going to break it to her?"

Jeisen: "Its not like he is dead... and she's a hero. She knows we what we can sacrifice.... what we may have to sacrifice."

Nolan: ".... sir..."

With that, the little bot floated on backwards to the other rooms. Jeisen need to be alone right now till Uzma arrived. He hated this part. Dark clouds always seemed to follow as Jeisen brought bad news.

"Ahahaha! Shut uuup Ame! No way," Uzma had a headset on as she walked around in the London flat, doing a little face talk with her friend Amethyst. The two girls were actually decent friends, and Uzma was not about to throw that out the window despite moving across the world away from her. Elaine was also her friend, but she wasn't sure about Imena.

As she walked around, the headset would project her into Ame's livingroom, and Ame was projected into Uzma's. They could physically see each others places as if they were merged together. Uzma plopped down on the couch and flipped on the television. It was always on the News channel, so what she saw wasn't too surprising. More destruction. It wasn't until she saw the blue flames that her heart dropped.

"Ame... I. I have to go," She hung up the device immediately and grabbed for her guardians device. She had her eyes glued to the screen as she watched the blue flames eat away at bits and pieces of London. In the sky she saw her fiancee flying away, a streak of blue across the gloomy gray sky.

"It can't be. It has to be an impersonator... It has to," she said, tears welling up in her eyes. She was about to signal for the Guardians just when her device lit up and the coordinates popped up as a small hologram just above the device. She wiped away her tears and shifted from her humanesque form to her alien form. She did not like being outside of her flat as her normal human self. Not without Michael. He had been missing for weeks, and she had told Michael's sister, Jeisen, and anyone else that she could think of. She had barely been keeping it together. The distraction was keeping in touch with Amethyst, and avoiding social encounters all together.

Uzma gently kissed her engagement ring just as her hands transformed into the stark white costume of her 'true' self. While in this form, her clothes and other body ornaments were fused into her cosmic energy, becoming one with her Alien form until she converted back to the human version of herself.

She activated the transporter and felt herself being pulled from one spot to another. She appeared in her room on the mobile air base that the Guardians had gotten not too long ago. She stepped out of the room and made her way to the command center, her form gliding through the air as she hovered down the hallway. She did not want to waste energy walking. Her chest was tight, and something told her that what she saw was Michael. Part of her wanted to pretend it was an impostor. The other part told her it was him and he had succumbed to his true self.

"Jeisen." she said, not a sound being made as she came up behind of him. Her voice might have startled him, but right now, she did not care.

"Look at me. Look at me in the eye and tell me. Please, just... tell me. Was it him?" She was only a few words away from crashing to her knees and sobbing. It only took Jeisen telling her. All he had to do was tell her if it was him or not.

[Jeisen]

The sound of the teleporter warming up and firing was all the warning Jeisen needed to understand Uzma had gotten his message. According to the transponder, she had been in London right before, only making matters worse. She would have seen the destructive aftermath. The video being released to the public on the news, was not a pretty picture for anyone let alone her. It had been a brutal fight to say the least. When she stepped into the doorway of the room, Jeisen looked up from the ground, arms resting on his knees. The blue optics of his helm shone brightly underneath his hood as he struggled to bring him self to say it. After a second, in a quiet voice

Jeisen: "Yes.... It was him."

She needed to her the truth. IT would only make matters worse if he had lied despite the pain that this would cause. He broke eye contact again as he stared down at the ground.

Jeisen: "But, I think there is something else behind this. Someone else. I've had an... encounter, with a group of human agents of some organization that were actively trying to capture metahumans. I helped them escape, but thats how they learned of me. Entei wasn't exactly a master of covering his trail from his hero work to his normal life. If they learned about him they could have set up a trap for him then captured him. Through out the fight... he was strange. Kept apologizing as he tried to kill me. Or at least capture me, it was hard to tell. Everything about him was just.... off. He arrived in a pod launched from a seemingly similar flying warship as in my earlier fight, least I think so. Its hard to tell cause I can't fucking detect it with any scanner what so ever. The pod itself was unusal tech from my brief scans and I cant find it in any directory for the company he works for so.... its not his tech. Then he had some strange tech around his neck, but I wasn't able to get that good of a look at it. All in all though.... I know he is not doing this willingly, though I don't know how he is being forced to do this. The only thing I couold think of would you being held hostage, but..."

She was right here, that option was off the table. Jeisen just sighed as his last plausible thought for entei's actions had just been squashed. Now he was going to have to consider even more drastic measures of how Entei is being forced to fight.

She crashed to her knees, no longer hovering six inches off of the ground. Gravity took hold of her and robbed her of every ounce of hope she had. She sobbed heavily and clutched her knees to her chest as her Alien form slowly faded away. The odd features turning into normal ones, save for her odd choice of hair. She had no words now. Despite Jeisen's words after confirming it was Entei, she barely heard anything. She kept dipping in and out of what felt like actual consciousness. She felt exposed like a raw nerve.

Nothing he said could help her. It wasn't until she started piecing together what he had said. There was some new tech, and a sort of collar around of Michael's neck. She thought for a few moments and stood up, crossed to the computer, and started hacking at the keyboard. Tears streamed down her face, she being completely silent now. A sob would occasionally hitch in her throat, but she cleared it away and continued to type until she pulled up a video.

It was a live broadcast that had been recorded a year or so ago. It had to do with the Dominus organization and a girl that they had declared dead many years ago. It was the revolution of metahumans. The girl was gifted with the ability to turn her skin into diamonds. She was gorgeous, and her name was Lilia Ivanov. Around of her neck was a collar not too far off from what was mentioned by Jeisen.

"Tell me everything you know. I need to know where you've encountered these bastards, and we need to head to Michael's sister's house. We can fly. I have the address stored in my phone." Wiping away her tears, she looked back to the screen, it paused on Lilia as she was mid twirl. Her shimmery skin was gorgeous, but the collar was the main focus.

[Jeisen]

Jeisen just sat there, head hanging low as he Sayers into the floor. He felt so helpless by just letting Uzma cry like that, but even he knew this was not something he could fix with a few words. And right now, he couldn't think of any words to say tht might comfort her anyways. He simply gritted his teeth, tensing up. He looked up though when he heard the sounds of someone typing away on one of the computers. He stood up and walked over to Uzma, staring oer her shoulder. After a second he understood what she was doing.

Jeisen: "every time I've engaged these guys, it's been after they have shown up. I have no idea where they are coming from other then the fact that they at least have a presence in London. They might be watching that areas for signs of me or just watching it in general because of it's prominence. We might have to draw then out first."

He crossed his arms as he began to think about the possible plans to start this. He needed mire info first though.

Jeisen: "who do we need to contact?"
