Hero High 3: A New World

As Jade follows behind Ricardo her mind seems to branch out, examining every corner stone of the school, making note of each door, hall, and any other significant or insignificant feature. In doing so she seemed to map out the full perimeter of the location without problem, though not once does a look of concern disappear from her face as she does so.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ricardo?" questions Jade. "You seem constantly nerve wrecked about something. Is something... on your mind?" she asks with a curious look upon her face. Her eyes look deep, staring at him with a desire for understanding.

Jade continues walking with Ricardo feeling the uneasy tension that is radiating from his body. She blinks once as she tries to maintain a genuine calmness about herself, though the curiosity never leaves her body.

"Are you afraid that someone is following us..?"

Ricardo looked down at his feet, thinking of that question as if he was trying to read a telepath...as intelligent and perceptive Ricardo was, he could not find a way to answer Jade. He did not even know if Donny was around. He replied "I...don't know...". Ricardo looked around, as he turned to the next hallway to his left and heading down the line of rooms that stood by side one another until reaching one of the empty rooms he was pretty sure belonged to Jade. He approached the room carefully as he began entering the code to the room, based on a pattern these rooms have that Ricardo somehow caught on to, hence why he did not need a pass code. While opening the empty dorm room, he looked around the halls hoping there was no one around to frighten him. Ricardo walked inside and switched the lights on, exposing an empty room with a queen sized bed with pillows and blankets, four outlets, a mini fridge, a desk, a passage to another room for possible roommate, closet, window, two phone jacks on the walls, pieces of furniture, a bathroom, and a television with cable. He nodded his head with his hands in his pocket as the goosebumps began to slowly take over his body. He flipped his hair over and walked over to the middle of the room, trying to give Jade a warm smile so she can embrace this halfway completed room.

"So...what do you think?" Ricardo said with a bit more energy in his words as he hopped and sat on her bed.

Jade brings out a half smile and looks through the room, thinking of all the new creative possibilities she would have with it. She walks to the wall and moves her right hand up to it, then closes her eyes. Her mind as continued seems to send off a signal that makes it near impossible for most telepathic types to read, due to a transmission of EM Waves that surround her seeming to encircle her.

As Jade's right palm is placed firmly to the wall now a vibration seems to echo out around it, then it all condenses back as she then turns back around, nodding and then brings a light bow as her upper body leans forward. She speaks softly still, "Thank you Mr. Ricardo showing me here."

Ricardo sensed a vibration while observing Jade's actions. It then hit him...The way she was able to read his emotions through empathy, why he couldn't read much into her, and her method of tracking the building itslef through the circulation of its structure. She's a telepath! Ricardo turns to Jade as she bowed. He smiled as he got up, looking around and not knowing how to respond. He kept his hands in his pockets. "Ummm....Anytime." Ricardo bowed quickly and back in his regular stance. "Well, I think you're all set here. Since you're a telepath like I am, I can pretty much relate with you here. Your teacher is going to be Janet. Yes, the third best telepath in the entire planet. Let me tell you now that she is awesome! She taught me so much and she knows how to dig into our potentials...and I can tell you now....I'm sure you are one of the special ones." Ricardo explained. He turns to the open door and then back to Jade. "Well, I should go now. I'm sure you can take it from here. It was nice meeting you Jade. I'm sure i'll see you again tomorrow..." Ricardo said with a light smile.

She stares blankly at him for a second though with wider of eyes, then she nods. "Yes, of course, h... hehe. Well thank you so much Ricardo for all your help, but I think I'm going to get a little bit of rest before I walk around. Bye." She stands at the door and closes it lightly behind Ricardo. Jade smiles with a feeling of curiosity as she turns in the room and walks toward the bed after having waited for him to leave the general area of concentration. Though she stops, she stares at the center of the room.

Jade brings both of her hands up slowly with her palms up, bending her arms at the elbow, in the center of the room her energy condenses into a single point as a more radiant energy begins to form, though it is so low in capacity that it is impossible to sense. As she holds the energy at that point she brings both arms down quickly, separating negative from positive energy with a single sphere appearing (silver in color) in the center of the room. "This place is interesting, I can already tell I'll learn a lot." Jade shows another half smile, then moves her right hand out to the sphere and nods once. Through the sphere she can see information that travel's through wave-length energy, her eyes close as she processes it all, keeping her concentration. "He's half right.. but I shouldn't reveal my true being... well, just yet anyways."

Nearly an hour passes as she stands still, concentrating still, with suddenly her body surges with a new feeling, a worse feeling, then her eyes open and she stares up at the ceiling. "What is this that I feel.. nothing good.. something... is already here?" Jade once again goes quiet, falling into a full daze in the room, alone.

Right when Ricardo turned to his left, the direction leading him out of this hallway, he suddenly walks into someone that caused him to fall back on the ground and stand nervously. He looked at what he was afraid would have been following him...How he managed to do it was nothing new. It was out of fear of what Ricardo hoped he would never encounter tonight. But it happened. Donny stood in his way, with his cutsom made GO uniform, inspired with his regular attire as the chain around his neck and wrist connected one another, symbolizing himself to be the only one in control of himself. His expression turned from total blankness into a wicked smile. He stepped forward past Jade's room as Ricardo steps back. He suddenly stopped and let's Donny approach him, having the feeling that he may not be here to begin with Ricardo. He has beaten him to a pulp in the past, but Donny kept getting up and coming back even more dangerous than ever.

Donny looked down at Ricardo, who turned away. He suddenly shoved Ricardo down to the ground. "You thought this was over?" Donny said as Ricardo looked up at Donny, wanting to retaliate...but couldn't. "I did not even have to follow you to find you...Just the girl. Wasn't sure who it was but I told myself "Hey! Why not just try my chance" and there you were. I can tell you were worried about me finding you...I knew this girl was being guided...there was no way such an unfamiliar presence would know her way so quickly into a new, complicated building. I would have found you anyway." Donny said with a mocking tone. Ricardo got up, out of pure anger, losing his mind completely and tries to tackle Donny down physically, knowing his powers would be no use in such a small area like the dorm hall.

Donny quickly reacts and swings Ricardo into the wall, slamming him and then pounding Ricardo in the gut. Ricardo fell to his knees, feeling the wind knocked out of him immediately. He found himself on his knees until being blacked out by a driving knee into the side of Ricardo's skull. Donny pulled out a remote, in ocntrol of surveillance and rewinds the continuous recording back before Donny's teleporting arrival and pauses the surveillance camera as he grabs onto Ricardo's collar and drags his unconscious body down the hall. Donny then proceeds the recording, totally deleting the entire scene that has just occurred.

Donny teleported himself and Ricardo in his room as he throws Ricardo into his dead like a rag doll, without any effort in lying him down as this only caused Ricardo's body to slip off his bed.

Donny turns away from Ricardo and teleported back to the original hallway. He walked over to Jade's room and ready to knock on her door...but he felt he has done enough here. The suspicion was beginning to circulate him. He looked around and walked away.

DJ finally stepped out of the car with a pissed off expression on his face. Now how was going to get paid? No other club in the city hosted as mean superes in the city and he had also left some of his gear there from his last time DJing there. Well atleast mot of those feral made it out alive. s began to head toward the school his eyes fell on Kiada which made him smile instently. Then again DJ couldn't help but to smile when he noticed any of his friends." I take it you've been waiting for us to return "

The hallway outside of Jade's room almost immediately after the confrontation remains quiet, and as it clears, the door opens just slightly, Jade standing in the door way and looking out through the opening. Her eyes close, and she lowers her head, she thinks for a moment about the events that had just passed and she thinks to herself in her mind, now I'm a witness, but for better or for worse. Jade's door closes once again and she goes quiet, yet inside of the room in her mind, a plan hatches slowly. Mind set, complete.

"Waaay ahead of you" Leon responded. "I gave a sample to Andrew. He'll be in his lab now going over it. On top of that, he can input the sample into the security system. If there's a direct attack on the school, we'll know it long before it gets here."

Julien hung up the phone and called Andrew. "Leon told me that he gave you a sample of the creature that they saved all those ferals from? I need you to keep me in the loop of what's going on with it."

Kaida lifts her head and jumps over in her dragon form, landing by him she growls gently, her head pushed against his chest, growling happily, happy to see him

bonnie watches rock slam into the wall hurting herself further, screaming at something no one can see

"That's good thinking, Leon. And you kids did a pretty good job. You went in there, helped the civilians and then got the hell outta there. Its a bonus that you scored a sample for testing. Your team deserves a good nights rest. school in the morning. I have Andrew keep me posted on that sample."

Julien hung up the phone and called Andrew. "Leon told me that he gave you a sample of the creature that they saved all those ferals from? I need you to keep me in the loop of what's going on with it."

"I've started my work." Andrew said in a business like tone. "But the sample is fighting back. Andrew looked at the glass container which held the slime. It was bouncing back and forth, trying in vain to escape. "It's as if this Hive thing knows what I'm going to do."

"Well I have no doubt that you will be able to handle it," Julien responded. "I'll leave all that scientific stuff to the brains. I just want to know what were dealing with in simple terms. Keep me posted on your work, Drew, and get back to me as soon as you find something new. Julien out."

Getting ready for bed himself, Julien changed into his sleepware and cut off all of his equipment. He was hoping that Andrew had something for him in the morning. If anybody was able to figure something out, it was him. Julien went to bed and didn't wake until the morning.

The next morning
((dun dun duuunnn!))

Leon woke early to the gentle sounds of his phone vibrating. He got up slowly and stretched before picking up the phone. It was a message from Andrew to come to the lab immediately. Guessing that Andrew had big news regarding the Hive sample, Leon got up and left his room.
He walked into the lab five minutes later, holding a cup of coffee in his hands. "Morning," he said, half yawning. "What news?"
Andrew had not slept all night, but his eyes were bright with excitement. "I'm glad you got me the sample. This stuff is, well, it'll have to wait, I called Julien over as well." Andrew looked back over at the sample, which was still bouncing around it's glass confines, trying desperately to get free. "This thing is fascinating. It's not like anything I've seen before, and I've seen a lot."

Jade woke up early in the morning, already being out of bed and out of her room; newly refurbished to her liking. She stood in the hall almost still with her back to the wall, wearing a darkened red long sleeve tight shirt, almost like the color of blood with silk black pants. She had her right arm out with her elbow down more to keep it relaxed and at nearly eye level; from her palm seemed to illuminate a panel created from photonic residence, examining files stored through memory and data gathered from unknown sources. She holds her hand opposite over here ear, the palm letting out echoing vibrations that ring through into her mind, seeming go over them.

"This is interesting" she whispers to herself as she continues to go over the information. "I never would have thought something like this is possible," she goes quiet now and closes her eyes, relaxing back against the wall.

Harkin and Sam were up before dawn training outside. She drug Sam from her bedroom, and together they went for a brisk run before some meditation. She could only assume Sam went out last night. Oh well. She stood over her daughter with her arms crossed, watching Sam do a couple tricks that sge recently learned. She had no choice. If sge refused to do anything, then Harkin would make her. Ifsge didn't get up before dawn, the Harkin would move the time up.

Jade stands now outside of the school, watching the surrounding area for new interesting information. She watches the two people, new to her training. She whispers to herself as she studies their method of training, "Awakening early for strenuous training, but why are they training? To become stronger, but why so early? is there a reason to it or is the motivation purely objective.." Though Jade speaks to herself, she remains out of sight, not spying though rather studying all those around the school to learn from them.

Ricardo found himself moaning as he got up from a long sleep. He had a major headache on the right side of his head as the rest was just minor pain. This discomfort sent Ricardo into a terrible start to the day as he tries to compose himself and get up by picking himself from the floor using the support of the bed. He finally gets up and rubs his face and eyes, trying to figure out why he could not remember what happened last night. Why is it that the last thing he could remember was helping Jade out? This aimless thought came to Ricardo while walking to his bathroom. He turns the medicine cabinet mirror to reflect his image and widens his eye to see a wound on his right temple. He gets his face closer to his mirror to get a better view of the wound. "What the..." Ricardo whispered...Due to the terrible mood he awakens to, he decided to aimlessly accuse Jade for this. He turned around, and began marching out of his dorm with everything on and with the same clothes he had on as yesterday. He held onto his head, in pain all over his body as if he was brutalized. Last person he could remember was Jade...But why would she do such a thing.

He began tracking her, keeping a lock of her location outside...He walks by Jade's room, right when he about to kick it wide open.

Jade's eyes open up wide for a moment while outside with a thought moving through her head of the current events occurring inside of the school. "Something is going on.." Jade looks up at the sky for a moment, thinking deeply over the matter.

Ricardo bumped into a few students and facility members, which pretty much caught the attention of many people roaming the halls. He also shows this negative example in front of visiting students who were being shown the way around the school as they began taking pictures of Ricardo, thinking he was hurt from some form of combat training. He did not care about anyone but Jade. He wanted answers and wanted to make sure he can get them from her. He sensed much more closer as he approached the side exit to the large field for physical/mental training. He hides his presences in case he was being anticipated by Jade or anyone else.

He bursts through the door and looked around himself, still holding his bleeding wound and walked up to her as he turned the corner past a stone wall as he slowly extended his hand onto her scarf and slowly grabs onto her scarf as Ricardo turns her and slams her against the wall, looking into her eyes was blind rage while using his other hand to hold onto his wound. "Listen to me...I don't care about you think of my intentions here...I just want answers...Tell me what happened last night? you're the last person I remember...So your innocence does not look so good here." Ricardo said with rage and nervousness in his tone of voice, keeping a grip of her scarf.
