Nova Diem

[Smooth Detective]

show spoilerhide spoiler

Nova Diem is an artificial island city-state in the Eastern Pacific. A size comparison would match it closely to the size of Utah in the United States, though it’s geographically similar to New York, albeit with rivers (arguably canals due to how they were made) strategically placed to retain a steady supply of freshwater. The powers possessed by the various deviants who run the city have made for a paradise, with homes long prepared, and a stable economy utilizing novics. Despite the apparent authoritarian government, largely dominated by Ms. Snow and her confidantes, the government has a high approval rating. Work is plentiful, those with useful powers especially, though even the lowest class of society enjoys far better conditions. In exchange for sacrificing political rights, the citizens are given many luxuries, especially those who contribute. Those who partake in the war as agents of the Dominion gain special privileges for their sacrifices, such as improved housing and additional income.

It is patrolled around the clock by sentries (whom serve all law enforcement and military purposes), and entering/exiting the city is highly regulated, making crime virtually non-existent, seeing as the government and its enforcers hold almost unlimited power, only strengthened by the war’s demands.

Currency: Novic (1.00 Novic = 1.17 US Dollar)
Government: Fascism

Alison Valentine

Part of the problem of being able to rewind time instead of being able to see the future was as soon as she changed something, Alison really didn’t know how events would unfold. She had seen the smallest change completely alter the course of events. “Last time you tried to stop the big guy, but the blonde lady zapped you.” She elaborated a little more for Marcus while speaking quickly. “Those three.” She added pointing to a trio wearing the Sentry uniform. Of course there was the blonde she had spoken about, and hulking man who looked like a refrigerator might have been one of his parents. The third was a scrawny and lanky looking fellow who didn’t seem like much of a threat compared to the first two. While other Sentries seemed to be trying to subdue whatever prisoner they got to first, as they came running from the office areas to help those who had been on guard duty, these three seemed to heading straight to the holding cell. One might assume they just meant to get the holding cell back under lockdown before they escaped as well, in fact Alison had assumed that the first time. “Time to run!” She said leading the way out of the cell and to the left – the opposite direction of the three heading towards them. She hoped the rest followed her without too much question. Still even the way to the left wasn’t exactly safe. They also had the real Sentries to deal with, who would think they were simply escaping.

Marcus Wells

Marcus looked at the main three pointed out to him but didn't act. A lot was happening and they didn't exactly have any allies. There were too many of them for him just to run all of his allies out of the holding area. They could fight, or he could just follow the girl's lead. So he didn't attack anyone, he ran at a pace that felt like crawling so that he was next to Alison and expected the others would do the same. "Tell me when to do something." It was an odd thing. Ordering someone to give orders.

Brandon Russell

The bar had been a blur for Brandon, he remembered entering with Liv and being pulled into that fight and someone punching him so hard it had felt like getting hit by a train. Then what? He frowned as he struggled to remember the details beyond that point... The punch and then blank. No. He stopped and rubbed his face, he remembered he was just trying really hard to forget. He had instinctively taken a shot of serum and then pummeled that poor man to death, it had taken that speedsters quick thinking to stop him from killing anyone else. He put his head in his hands and closed his eyes to the world. When he opened them he took his time to examine the cell he found himself in, small with nothing but a door, a bed and a hole in the ground that was presumably the toilet. He had been thrashing so much that they hadn't bothered trying to take his gear off him so luckily he still had his mask on which was one saving grace he supposed. He lay back on the bed and closed his eyes, perhaps he could get one good nights sleep. They were in Nova, surely he wouldn't need to worry about protecting Stitches tonight.

He had been laying quietly thinking to himself for about fifteen minutes and just as he was beginning to get to sleep when suddenly the sound of alarms started blaring throughout the cells. Brandon opened his eyes immediately and sat up, it was them. He knew it. He moved over to the door but then thought against it and stepped to the side. A moment later the cell door suddenly sprang open and a single sentry stepped inside brandishing a pistol that was pointed towards the bed. Brandon punched him without hesitation, and grabbed the gun off his body. He checked the rounds in the magazine and then peeked out of the door, it seemed that there had been another man acting as back up but he was now busy fighting four inmates that had taken a dislike to the uniform. Brandon slipped out, he had to find Liv before anything happened to her. She might be effectively immortal but he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if they managed to take her while she was under his protection. Just as he was wondering what to do Alison, one of the people from the bar bolted out of a cell and Brandon figured she would know where Liv was. He made his way through the chaos towards her, pistol ready just in case.

Run? Sure that would be easy. He fully expected to run into someone. Prehaps just a few sentries looking to restore what order they could get. He noticed the guy from the bar zombie he recalled him being called. He wasn't sure if a guy who had tried to eat someone at a bar was someone you typicly wanted to have a gun and be comming toward you group of misfit escapees. Though as long as Malik wasnt todays special he wasnt going to turn down a friend with a gun.

Olivia Sterling
Stitches

Olivia had a pretty good idea of who the three 'Sentries' were and what they wanted. Her and Zombie thought they would be safe in Nova Diem, after all wasn't that what the city was for? The seat of Dominion power should be safe for Deviants, yet is seemed Catalyst managed to find them even here. Did they already have Zombie, or had they come for her first? Much to her relief, that question was quickly answered when a familiar face turned up down the hall. They could just simply run then, instead of her trying to convince three near strangers why they ought to risk life and limb to rescue Zombie, who had just pummeled a man to death only a few hours ago in front of their very eyes. She motioned for Zombie to come with, and proceeded to follow the group.

Besides dodging the occasional unruly inmate they made it out of the cell area and into the abandoned office area fairly easily. Well it should have been abandoned, except the blonde that had previously been behind them somehow beat them to the room. Electricity danced between her fingers as she grinned at the group. “Hand over Zombie and Stitches and we’ll leave the rest of you to your escape.”

"Really?" Marcus asked with a humored look before turning to Alison "I am assuming I won't be able to just punch sparky. Any suggestions?" Marcus had a similar run it with a different deviant in the past. He had ran in and punched that deviant and ended up feeling like someone had tasered his fist. He did not want to feel that again so he was listening to suggestions this time. Then Marcus realized something else and he turned to the blonde in their way. "Listen here sparks, I am the only one here who gets to sling nicknames so you need to cool it, turn around, and go f- Oh language. Go away." Marcus shooed the girl away with his hand and then looked over at Alison "Is she gonna leave? What do I do if she doesn't?" Marcus knew damn well that he would sweep the blonde's legs, he just wanted to know if Alison would know.

Brandon Russell

Brandon was relieved when he saw Liv, he had been trying to decide if the woman would have responded kindly to his line of questions and the methods he implored while asking. Thankfully he didn't need to find out which probably worked out better for everyone. He joined the group, jogged past the guy from the bar whose name and power he didn't know and kept a steady pace at Liv's side. He didn't trust strangers so as soon as the opportunity presented itself, he intended to make a break for it. Brandon didn't find it necessary to open fire on any of the prisoners, for the most part they seemed to leave the group alone. As they entered the office area he came to a stop and pointed his gun at the woman who was threatening them. Honestly it was more for the effect than anything, he was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to hit her if it turned out she was made of electricity instead of just producing it. "Rubber gloves? You can borrow one of mine but I want it back." He was hesitant at lending the man anything but on the other hand if this suit had allowed someone to survive a lightning bolt to the chest it could probably be used to inflict damage. "Well?" He slipped his hand out of his glove and held it out. "Only you can do this." He also wanted him out of the way as he seemed most likely to be able to stop him and Liv from leaving.

___________________________Malik_Winter

Well a lot a s**t was going on some prisioner had busted open the evidence lock up they were sneaking past so Malik peared in and saw a bag where they had tossed thier stuff so he grabbed it. He had money in there he wasnt wanting to lose. He mainly held the flank and let the others deal with thunder thighs. Though he had a random other escapee he recognised from the bar. He was looking to settle the score. He had to dodge wher the guy spat some acid at him. No wonder he's so mad he cant kiss any one. He charged at them and Malik decided the guy wasn't going to stop unless he was dead. He had that crazed look in his eye. As the guy charged the short distance he woud meet with two spikes made of bone that went clean through the attacker. Malik had planned to just retract them back but the large man ended falling over and snapping them. "Ow that hurt" He said commenting on the bones breaking off. He retracted what was left and the skin healed over. Hopefully he didn't have to do that again.

Alison Valentine

“Grab Zombies glove and punch her.” Alison quickly ordered. She actually had no idea if it would work or not, but previous experience told her how impatient the lightning thief was so she didn’t have time to come up with something better. Or explain it all to Marcus. All she knew was if he tried to touch her without some kind of insulation it would end badly for Marcus.

“Tic tock….times up!” The electrocietic said before firing a lightning bolt at Marcus. She wasn’t an idiot who was going to let them just stand there and make a plan on how to fight. It was obvious they weren’t planning on giving up Zombie and Stitches.

Meanwhile her two companions had been given enough time to bring up the rear, blocking any retreat they could have hoped for. They only needed the two, and the one couldn’t die. The scrawny guy gave an unsettling grin as his arms transformed into a pair of chainsaws, complete with revving engine noises, though it was a little unclear where the supposed engine was. With the saws spinning, he went for one of the expendable ones, the blonde boy. At the same time the big guy went for Zombie, hoping to subdue him before he could take any of that serum.

Marcus Wells

Now, it should be perfectly understood that while Marcus was the fastest man in the room, he was not the fastest thing in the room. He could move at remarkable speeds but he could not go from standing to faster than a bolt of lightning in an instant. The bolt hit him somewhere in the shoulder because he had begun to move towards the offered gloves. When it hit him, Marcus was thrown across the room and into the back wall. He hit the wall, and the ground, with loud thuds. "Son of a bi..." His voice trailed off and he slowly stood up. Well slow for him. It must have looked normal to everyone else. Thank god she hadn't hit his leg. The following happened in a matter of two seconds: Marcus took the gloves, put them on, and then punched Sparky in the throat to see what damage it would do to him. If it didn't hurt, he was goign to do something more lethal next.

He was in the process of handing the glove to Marcus when the lighting bolt blasted him across the room. He threw the glove in his direction before narrowly avoiding the fist of a giant. He stumbled back and fired three rounds into the man's face, he had only meant to fire one but had acted without thinking. He glanced over at Liv and tried to signal that they should run however the big guy swung at him again. The force of the blow knocked him flying backwards, it actually lifted him off the ground and needless to say hurt like hell. He crashed into a table and flipped back over it. He was fairly sure that one of his ribs was fractured, he was trying to be optimistic, fractures healed quickly compared to breaks. He pushed himself up off the ground and checked how many bullets he had left. His break time was ended abruptly as the big guy rounded the table and brought his fist down on his chest. Brandon slid backwards before it could hit him, clambered up and ran towards Malik. "Hey, bar guy. Let's switch. Good luck!" Before he could object he jumped on the scrawny guy with buzz saw arms and forced him back into an open office. Brandon jumped off the guy just as he changed his hands into sickles and tried to pierce Brandon's back.

___________________________Malik_Winter

Malik had been prepped to fight texas chainsaw massacre man when Zombie. Tradded off giving him a brute of a man. Not being prepared for the switch left him open to get back handed to the wall several feet away. He definitely broke several ribs, though his healing stiched him back together, he still hurt pretty bad. He was preped this time when the man whet to grab him again. The guy had been looking to grab Malik from behind but was met with suden spikes the would stab his arm and hand. The bones themselves were grown from his spine and Malik made sure when the guy pulled back the bones would not break off but he was prepared for a counter attack. Which would be the man find several bone spike projectiles flying for him

 

[Deadly_Tiger]

Olivia Sterling
Stitches

Alison grabbed Zombies arm and yanked him to the side just in time for one of the sickled blades to just miss slicing his mid-section clean through. Unfortunately by saving Zombie from the deadly blade, it resulted in it piercing Olivia's stomach and coming out her back. Oddly, she didn't scream or cry, or even seem overly concerned. Other than a slight groan, Liv gave hardly any indication at all that she'd been impaled. In fact she even grinned as she as grabbed the guys arm and impaled herself further. "You're screwed now a*****e." While the intent was to trap the while while Zombie finished the guy off, it seemed she had spoken too soon.

Malik's bone spikes had about as much effect on the big guy as Brandon's bullets did. None. In fact he didn't seem so concerned for himself, as he did for his allies, using his body as a shield to stop the bone projectiles from piercing his two allies. It was then that he noticed the other two were having some difficulty. It was with ease that he pulled Liv off of his sickled armed friend and tossed her passed Malik and clear out the door into the next room.

“Idiot, go get her!” Weapons arms shouted that the big guy before going after Zombie again. The big guy complied, lumbering in the direction of Malik and Liv.

Unfortunately for Marcus, the electro had been waiting for the counter attack. Fortunately she hadn’t expected a speedster. Unfortunately a side effect of her abilities was enhanced reflex, much like that of a speedster. She stepped back in time for the throat punch to miss, before taking advantage of the opening to go for an electrically charged punch to Marcus’s stomach.

Marcus sidestepped the punch with a little more difficulty and smiled. "This is gonna be fun." He said to himself before sliding back to make a little distance between them. He didn't wait to let the girl throw any more lightning his way, instead he dashed across the room to the big man with Malik's spikes in him and Marcus pulled the spikes out. He continued running around the room to avoid becoming an easy target for lightning and as he ran he broke them into smaller fragments until the bones had been reduced to roughly the size and shape of small rocks, then he flung a handful at the electric woman. Malik throwing it was one thing, but when Marcus threw something, it moved like bullets and in this case it was a lot like a shotgun with a really wide spread.
