Re: Chapter 02: Nature's Grudge
Shelly, of course, hugged her dad and smiled.
Eli was sure to thank Jake back and immediately go for a nap.
Emerald is laying in a bed and looks over to see Mittens and Alloy. Her eyes are constantly changing color, occasionally flash (complete with sound effects that sound like sparks flying), and seem to go from glowy to normal to looking like some kind of high-tech cyber eyes. Her fur occasionally pulses with a variant color like a really slow heartbeat. She speaks in a weak tone, "Magic... not just magic like we normally know it... pure magic. The kind that made our world. The kind everything comes from. We're some of the few in our supergroup who have touched it via the Well of Furies. It may also be why I was able to handle the power that flowed through me. But I am sick and I can feel the Well is trying to take advantage of my current weakness to sway me towards being under its control. Go to Ouroboros. Maybe someone there knows of a way to cure me."
Meanwhile, GG finds Angel and Shelly at a meeting with the politicians of Paragon City. There are some famous supers there as well, such as the Freedom Phalanx. Shelly seems to be kind of stressing, trying to keep it together while the politicians argue over whether to kill the Ex-Hami or not. Shelly's argument is that the guy is not directly guilty of the atrocities his other form committed, so he should get something equivalent to involuntary manslaughter.
Angel has been quiet for the most part, only interjecting her thoughts once in a while. Her stance seems to be that guilty or not, the people of Paragon City need to find a way to make sure Hami, or something LIKE Hami, is prevented from ever happening again. So she is slightly siding with the ones present who are in favor of dissection.
When she sees GG, she waves. GG is being held off by guards who explain this meeting is by appointment only and such, but Angel comes to him. Angel asks, "What's up, Gadget Gun?"
Raymond and Edward's search isn't fruitless. He is actually able to find Alexis relatively quick. She is at the top of the hill in Eden, sitting lazily and gazing at Eden with tear-stained eyes.
