The Enhanced (An Avengers Assemble Role Play) ~Official Role Play~
READY..STEADY...LET'S DO DIS!
The Enhanced ~Official Role Play~
~Syllis's POV~
Syllis was in the back of a truck that Clint Barton was driving. She sat quietly, awaiting her fate. She knew that she was going to Stark Tower. She tried to contain her excitement. She had never been there. She had only seen it once before, outside of the lad window. She turned around and saw another of the Enhanced sitting in the back of the truck because she refused to leave her tiger's side. She put her head in her lap and sighed, ready to fall asleep. The Tower was up ahead and she was tired of sitting in a truck.
~Holli's POV~
Holli felt the wind in her hair as they drove past buildings and people. Many people gave Rajah stares. He just growled at them.
"Easy Rajah", Holli said to her companion, "we will be there soon". She looked around and saw the Stark Tower d.ead ahead. "There it is".
"They did not really save us", Rajah said to her in her brain, "they just removed us from a potentially dangerous enviroment. Just to put us back in another one".
Holli rolled her eyes, "you're so dramatic", she thought back to him.
Rajah stared at her, with unblinking eyes.
Anna was stoked. Why you ask? Well, her parents had given her permission to train with CAPTAIN AMERICA HIMSELF! Her mother, Bryjna, was one of Stark's top lawyers and a PR rep. Her Dad worked for his security forces - he was Malcolm Johnson, originally from Norway and her mother was half Navajo/half Nordic. So of course Anna had that going for her. She was going to meet THOR of all beings! And possibly Loki if he hadn't already been shipped off to Asguardian prison. Heck, maybe she could talk Thor into letting her visit Asguard sometime. But she would be spending most of the time with Captain America since he was assigned as her mentor. He was the first person she trusted after being released from the collapsed lab. She barely survived thanks to her ice bubble. She was currently in the back of the SHIELD transport with him. "So how come they're going after recruiting kids anyways? I'm barely in College and Stark goes and offers to pay for my education to get me into this program." She ventured, glancing over at the supersoldier sharing the back with her. Aside from two SHIELD agents - one of which was Maria Hill herself since she was a friend of her mother's - they were the only ones in the car aside from the driver. "It's because of what that lab did to you kids. We know they gave you your illusion and ice manipulation but we don't know how. We're hoping to figure that out." Captain Rogers explained, glancing at Maria. Her parents had been killed in action helping with the Chitauri while the lab had been holding her. She didn't know why, but she knew she had the latent gene that gave her powers like the mutants. She preferred to think of it by the DC Comic term meta gene since she didn't know any other word for it.
~ Victoria Leoni ~
Victoria sat in the front seat between Barton and Natasha.
She was quiet and kept her eyes on the road. Stark tower was straight ahead.
She looked to the back where another girl was talking to maria hill and Steeve Rogers.
And behind them, in the back of the truck, sat two other girls, one with a tiger. Cool. Thought Victoria.
She was a bit shaken by what happened. That lab was all that she had known. She had no memories of her previous
life. She simply woke up. Nothing before. She didn't talk to Natasha, her new caretaker. She didn't think that she was
that type. And she made sure not to touch them either. She didn't particularly want to feel what the two avengers were
feeling. She kept to herself and stared at the people on the street who gauked at the tiger in the back of the truck.
She remembered being pulled out of the rubble. She had had three broken ribs then. But they had healed for the most
part. Victoria rubbed her rib cage, it still hurt.

((So where are we supposed to be right now?))
(not bad for your first time! Just remember, he's a trickster so pay attention to his personality in MCU and in mythology. Use that to your advantage)
Anna looked over and yipped when she spotted the tiger with one of the other girls in the transport. She had always wanted to meet a tiger. She gulped, standing up and walking over. "Excuse me...I was wondering if I could pet your tiger? I've never seen one outside of a zoo before." She asked the other girl. She looked her over. She had waist lenght raven black hair much like her own rose blond hair. Like hers, it was tied back in a braid. But hers was a braided ponytail. They both had olive colored skin but hers was more olive than Anna's own and she was more tan than olive. Her green eyes looked at the tiger nervously, not sure if she should ask the tiger directly, or the girl. The tiger seemed intelligent for a big cat. More than the ones in the zoo at least. The last time she went to the zoo, her Mom had taken her before she was taken by the lab.
((Thnx))
Arely heard a conversation between a girl and the tiger next to her. Weird, but she wasn't one to judge.
She was in a truck with some other people who had been recovered from the rubble.
Arely's head hurt. First she had a building dropped on her, and had to use her abilities to keep her from being crushed, and that took a lot of mental energy. She was exausted. Now, she was stuck in a truck with a bunch of other kids (and a tiger) and she could hear all their thoughts, but wasn't about to stop. It made her head hurt even more.
Anika was contemplative in the very back of the truck, across from her was a girl with a tiger.
Another kid had asked to pet the tiger and had received permission.
She huffed.
She was taken out of the rubble with a few others. She had been given an ice pack because there was a possibility that she had a small concussion, and they suggested not to sleep. She ditched the ice pack.
She growled at the two Avengers and glared at the other kids.
Why couldn't she have just stayed in the rubble?
Why did she have to activate her abilities to try and save people when it caused her to come here?
Ahgh
It wasn't fair.
At.
All.
Arely giggled slightly at hearing the exchange between Rajah and Holli.
She looked at the tiger carefully.
Might as well have some fun, right?
"Hello Rajah." She said in his mind. "Are you sure you should be getting into Anika's head? Isn't that kind of, intrusive?"
((When your Captcha is ROGERS))
OKay.
There's a bl**dy f****** thing in my brain!!
Is anyone aware of this?
Am I the only one with this problem.
MY MENTAL SANITY IS AT STAKE HERE!!
She sighed loudly, keeping more control than normal, "Thank you, whoever is in my brain, please get out, keep your pranks under control."
She then mumbled something about k*lling the irresponsible culprit.
She stared at Holli.
"You mean your tiger is in my brain." It was more of a statement than a question.
At first anger rolled through her body, causing her blood to boil.
But then she calmed herself.
"Now I've seen everything. But I guess this is to expected og a spoiled pet." The spoiled pet part was not aimed at Holli but at the tiger.
"I am your sub-conscieneness a"I am your sub-conscieneness and you wouldn't want to try to k*ill me, mnd you wouldn't want to try to k*ill me, my dear", Rajah said.
"Oh hoh honey, my spoiled thing, I'm ready to do battle with you if necessary but for now, I'll settle for picking your brain and becoming friends with your mistress."
"Sure she was." Arely told Rajah, rolling her eyes.
She heard someone's confusion, she she let them in on what was going on.
"Rajah is messing with Anika by getting into her mind." She mentally told her.
"Yes it's me. I don't really know what I can do yet. I didn't even mean to do this." Arely smiled back.
(ok, thanks for the heads up Val)
Anna grinned, letting the tiger sniff her hand before petting him. "So did you name him for the tiger Jasmine has in Aladdin? That used to be one of my favorite movies as a kid (true story)." She asked, stroking the tiger's soft fur. He was an amazing animal. She wished she had a pet like him. Though she doubted her parents would let her keep one. Then again she was an orphan now. "How did you get him anyways? He's a gorgeous animal. I've never heard of someone other than a celebrity having a pet tiger before." She asked, glad the tiger was friendly. He reminded her of her old neighbor's cat Jasmine. She was a gorgeous orange tabby with similar markings and loved to have his cheeks and ears rubbed. She wasn't brave enough to attempt it yet with this predator though. He wasn't exactly a house cat after all and she had to remember that. She giggled when she heard the other girls talking about how the tiger was poking around in people's brains. "Can you really talk to people telepathically?" She asked the tiger, wondering if it was anything like what the dragons in the Dragonriders of Pern books did with their riders. They could talk to each other telephathically as well as vocally - well, the riders could with their dragons anyways. She wondered if something similar was going on with the girl and her tiger.
Tracking because I'm stalking this thing heheheee ^^
Anna giggled at the tiger's response in her mind. He called her "pet" of all things. Either he was being polite or he was being dramatic. 'Well, I think Rajah is a fine name for a tiger. Before I was taken to the lab, I had a tabby named Rajah when I was little. I used to pretend he was a mini tiger when I was little. Tigers are one of my favorite animals.' She explained, automaitcally switching to telepathy with the big cat. She found it instinctive and easy to do. "Hey! Watch the telepathy kids!" Captain Rogers called from the front area of the transport. "Sorry Cap! Just talking to the tiger!" Anna called back, rubbing said tiger behind the ears as Holli advised. "So Holli, from what I know my powers are illusions, ice manipulation, some shapeshifting, and a few supersoldier tricks like the walking American flag over there. Aside from chatting it up with our feline friend, do you know what other powers you have?" She asked aloud, jerking her thumb at Captain Rogers and turning so the snowflake obsidian pendant she wore was visible. It hung on a gold chain around her neck and formed a sort of teardrop shape at the base of her throat as it bumped against her sky blue shirt. It had been the last gift her parents ever gave her. They had always called her their "little snowflake" since she was born in early January and her sign was Aquarius. She loved tigers because she was born in the year of the tiger since she was born in January 1998 on the 21st. Of course she had the stubborn personality of the Aquarius character in Fairytail, one of her favorite animes.
~ Natasha Romanoff ~
"A science lab was secretly experimenting on them and now they have powers"
Nat summed up before Steeve got a chance to even open his mouth.
"Tony got permission from the government to train them to control their powers. Now we are assigning rooms and
caretakers" Nat didn't particularly agree with Tony's plan. She thought that it would be better to leave it to S.H.E.I.L.D
Or at least someone more qualified. "Как вас зовут?" (What's your name?) She asked the girl that was climbing out of the front seat, in Russian. Something told her she would understand.
~ Victoria Leoni ~
"Викториг Иьвов" (Victoria Leoni) answered Vic in Russian, not knowing that Natasha was speaking any different
language. She couldn't tell the difference with her ability. Natasha smiled.
"Очень приятно познакомиться с вами Викториг Иьвов" (nice to meet you, Victoria Leoni)
Vic nodded and decided to try to talk to the other girls. "Привет" (hi) she said to the girl with the tiger, still not knowing that she was speaking any language. "Я Вик" (I am Vic).
((Thought you might enjoy that ^ ^))
Anna grinned as the tiger purred. "I think it's fine if you act like a house cat once in awhile." She assured the predator as the truck pulled to a stop. As everyone got out she had a slightly undignified fangirl squeal moment when she saw Thor and Black Widow waiting for them. OK, she had to admit she was a fan of both. When the girl speaking in Russian with Natasha turned on them, saying what she assumed was hello in Russian, she decided to try something. Thanks to anime, she had learned some Japanese. But she decided to stick with English. "I'm Anna Johnson. That's Rajah and his friend Holli. I'm guessing you have a language based ability?" She told the other girl, speaking up first. She was blonde, like Anna, but a few shades brighter than her copper blond. She crossed her arms, her gloved hands meeting her biceps. Not that she had much to show off in terms of muscle compared to Thor. She was internally fangirling over two of the more famous Avengers. She used to love Nordic and Afrikaans legends when she was a kid, especially stories from Wakanda. Her Dad was Wakandan and her mother was Nordic/Native American.
((I forgot to mention that Vic has an accent. It's close to Russian, but since she speaks all languages you can't really pin it.))
~ Victoria Leoni ~
"Wha- oh, I'm sorry, was I speaking a different language?" She said in English, realizing what she had done.
"yes, I do have a language based power" she said. She cursed herself in Kaixana (only 1 person in the entire world speaks Kaixana :'( )) for letting herself forget. She could never tell. It all sounded the same.
"I'm Victoria. Or Vic. Anna, right?"
~ Natasha Romanoff ~
"Let's" said Nat, thrusting a han at the door. And she walked over.
"We will tell you your room assignments once inside" she told the girls showing the way in.
((Sry, this was short. I think they should have roommates. What about it?))
((Btw, the language that Vic hears is Latin. Although I am not fluent in Latin. (My dad is) I will try my best. I know that Russian is not quite the same as Latin but it's a nice mix for someone who can't tell the difference ^ ^))
Anna practically fainted when Thor greeted her directly. But personally? She was looking forward to making Loki's life miserable for messing with her city. 'Hey, Rajah, how do you feel about helping me make the god of mischief's life miserable for what he did to our city with the Chitauri?' She telepathically asked the tiger, but a warning look from Captain America warned her against it - almost as if he knew what she was plotting. She had voiced her distaste for whoever had attacked New York and since he told her it was Loki...well, she figured she didn't want to cause an interplanetary incident with Asguard. So she would settle for doing her own thing when she saw the troublemaker. 'On second thought, never mind. I doubt we'd get away with something like that. We'll just prank Loki later.' She told the big cat. She wondered how Loki would feel about pranks. She suspected he wouldn't object to the occasional paint bomb in his face or something more along those lines. She was tempted to ask Rajah to eat him, but that would probably get her in trouble with Cap, Thor and probably Odin himself.
(bloop!)
Bloop
Anna spotted Loki as soon as they entered Bruce Banner's lab. She stomped right up to the God of Mischief and smacked him. "THAT was for what you did to New York! I swear to you Loki Laufyson! If you EVER mess with my city again, I will turn you into a popcicle and toss you into the deepest part of the arctic ocean!" She told the god, glaring daggers at him. Her skin started turning blue as her power began to charge - the light ice blue of a glacier, her hair ice purple, ice blue tips staying put, along with her jeans and t-shirt colors as she felt her ice take hold. "Anna, what did I say earlier?" Captain Rogers warned the part frost giant supersoldier as she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. "Sorry Cap, but I just needed to make my point. I don't tollerate bullies. That includes Asguardian wannabe kings. I know all the myths about Asguard and other pantheons. I don't care if you are a god of mischief, but a bully is a bully no matter what species they are." Anna retorted, her purple hair turning back to it's normal auburn color, her green eyes blazing like sunlight on grass after a fresh rain.
Arely walked into the room, and one of the kids promptly sat in a chair and started spinning. She laughed to herself and turned to look around the lab.
It was pretty big, and other than that looked pretty much like a regular lab. After all, what makes a lan different isn't the lab itself, it's what's made in it.
She stood around for a minute, looking at the others, not knowing what to do. She finally just chose to stand where she was and not worry about it.
As she watched the person in the chair spin, her mind wandered to what had happened.
The building had started collapsing around them. A large beam started falling on top of her. She put her arms above her head to shield it, and a purple glowing light held the beam up.
She shook her head. It was all so confusing.
Then she noticed a vial next to her was floating a foot or so off the table, surrounded by that purple energy she had just been thinking about.
Panic blossomed in her chest. How did she do that?
An idea formed in her mind.
She focused on moving the vial to the left. It obeyed.
Soon she could move it anywhere she wanted to. So of course she decided to have some fun with it.
And now she has a bunch of dancing vials around her for entertainment.
She giggled at the dancing vials. This entire thing was so weird.
Arely noticably flinched when Anna hit Loki. The vials fell to the ground with a clatter.
There was sadness in her eyes when she looked up to see if she had disturbed anyone.
She sighed and began playing with the vials again.
"Hello." Arely looked up to see who had said that.
Arely smiled. "Hello. I can't seem to remember your name." She told her apologetically.
Anna huffed, glancing over at Loki as he smirked. Did he SERIOUSLY just say he liked her? She made a mental note to keep an eye on him. She wondered how accurate the myths about his gender fluidity really were. She decided not to ask in front of everyone. Even Thor seemed to find her standing up to him amusing. She made a mental note to ask Thor about the Frost Giant side of her. She wondered if one of her parents had been a disguised Frost Giant or something. Or maybe one of her ancestors was and it skipped a few generations. She knew for a fact her parents were ordinary humans from reading the SHIELD files the people at the lab had on her before the battle. At least that's what the files said anyways. She wondered why her skin and hair changed color though. It happened every time the scientists made her use her ice powers. She wondered if it had to do with her supersoldier skills. She'd heard the clatter and glanced over to see the girl Holli was talking to. She saw Rajah on his own, the tiger keeping an eye on things. She plopped herself down close to the tiger. She didn't feel threatened by him. She saw Natasha Romanoff - the Black Widow herself - watching her. Anna had to admit she was a little intimidated by the red haired Russian woman. Though, she didn't seem as intense as she was made out to be by the guards at the lab. She didn't see Bruce Banner or Tony Stark yet. She had a few questions about the Hulk actually and about Stark's armor. Maybe he could make her something to help keep her frost giant side in check until she could control it herself.
"Hey, you ok?" Captain America asked as he came over, sitting on the bench beside the girl. "Let's just say I know how Queen Elsa felt at the beginning of Frozen. Conceal, don't feel and all. I can feel the Frost Giant side of me begging to be let out every time I get strong emotions." She admitted with a small chuckle. "And I can't beleive I actually smacked Loki and got complimented for it." Anna mused, glancing at her assigned mentor. "I mean, I can control my super strength and speed and all, but still...it's the Frost Giant side I'm worried about." Cap nodded in understanding. "Hey, the only superhero back in my day was...well, me as far as I knew. When I first got injected with the supersoldier serum, I kinda wished I had a mentor to help me out. At least this time we'll be able to help you kids learn how to control your powers. You're not alone in this, kiddo." He assured her, a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Even he had to admit her skin felt a little cold - lower temperature than an average human but just slightly. He suspected she had a high tolerance for cold weather. That would come in handy with field work. Especially if they had to go to the Arctic regions.
Great Idea! Thanks Shamara!
