As he closed in on the wreckage, he began to notice presences around him, other people, other gifted, each of them a potential powerful ally, or enemy, Hot head had already proven that he was a human wild fire. He set down the girl, leaning her against a smoke stained wall, and stepped into the wreckage, smoke burned at his lungs, and heat rose up from the ground made him sweat. Though his eyes stung, he still managed to find Hot head, "hey, it's raven, I'm gonna talk to the people around us, if anyone does anything funny, set their hair on fire, or something." He murmured to hothead, before gently rising into the air above the smoke. Standing on a rooftop nearby was Brookie, he signaled for her to turn on the light. Brookie saw Raven's signal, and nodded. She closed her eyes and reached out for the mini light sources around her, taking their lights, before redirecting them to just above Raven, a harsh white light that made long shadows. Her eyes glowed blue as she concentrated on sustaining the light.
The harsh light jumped into life above him, illuminating the scene, people were all around, some he had seen, some he had not.
"Show of hands, who wants to be my friend?" Raven said, his voice magnified to reach all ears clearly, he smiled darkly, and looked at everyone in turn, judging them, wondering what gifts they had.

And that's when he heard it. A loud, clear voice echoing from the ruins of the mansion. Sure, North was scared shitless, but that doesn't mean he would pass up a new friend. His mouth curled up in a smile. Looking up, he saw the source of the voice. It was a tall, cheery, black-haired man that seemed to be on top of the roof, maybe five yards away? Well, that doesn't matter at the moment, he though bitterly, but--And it happened again, cutting off his current thought. Yes, that happened again; friggin time friggin stopped! Of course, this pissed North off far too much, and not much can do this. This has to be the most pissed I've ever been in my life, he though to himself in the same bitter tone. Wow, North, what an uncynical mind you have there, attempting to block out all the scornful thought that have begun breaking through like a incompetent floodgate since this earlier this night. Or, wait, earlier this morning? Whatever... To North, time was everything--but how to use it as his disposal was a certain question. He frowned a little, sneering at his current state. Then, as if the floodgate had closed back up, time started back up in a strange twist. North felt the sneer dissolve from his features, and smiled. "HEY!" He called up to the guy. He rose his hand, feeling like an idiot, and smiling like one in turn.
Zell just frowned, listening to what Raven had to say. He was asking or friends? What the hell was wrong with him!? She tugged on a sweater that lay in the corner of the room, as if it were placed there for her--she knew better, it was charred and black, blaring from it original seemingly orange color. Well, do I have much of a choice? She asked herself intently, listening to see if anyone answered his call. Soon enough, there was rewarded with a new voice. Not Raven's, or his companion, or that pyro pain in the ass, no, it was younger, sweeter. It was a higher pitch than many she'd heard, and it made her smile a little. Although, it was a bit harsh, for it was straining to be heard. Zell scoffed a bit, and, with great caution, fled again. This time, towards the voice.

FFFF! HOLY SHT! I feel crappy right now, not having done vey much. Whatever, I like how this turned out... Anyways, is it 'illegal' for there to be gays on this website? I mean, I'm guessing there will be some romance, and I don't really see what would be the difference between a same-sex couple...Hope I didn't freak any of you out, just need an answer.

ooc// I think its a fine thing! I am personally bisexual, so its all good with me, and i dont think C will mind (just make sure the person who is the romance target is ok with it first)
Raven heard a masculine voice call out, and looked over to see a man, bathed in light, raise his hand and call out.
"Come on up then!" Raven calls out, smiling a little boyishly. He hadn't expected such a positive reply right off the bat.
From a nearby rooftop Brookie rolled her eyes at his blatant showing of emotion, what a silly fool he is, one of these days he would get himself killed

Ryland had no idea what had happened. He wasn't aware that time had stopped, he only saw the flames flicker and die down very suddenly. North had appeared right beside him, without him even being aware for a moment that he was approaching. The redhead felt dizzy and confused, which was completely not helped when an scary seemingly-omnipresent voice boomed out right beside them. He looked around, still shaken, to stare up at Raven. He then stole a glance sideways to North, who seemed to be accepting this strange man's proposition as genuine. Ryland followed suit, hesitantly raising his hand too. He just.. wanted to go with the flow and make friends.. Things were happening so fast- he was having trouble keeping up. He felt like he was just being whisked along by the current with no idea of where it lead. This wasn't necessarily a problem- he had no particular purpose barring anything else- but it was certainy unsettling.

Raven looked around, having seen just two people truly be enthusiastic, the rest seemed uncertain, he smiled darkly. "If you aren't my friend, you are clearly my enemy... So I'd speak up." He met everyone's eyes in turn, then spoke again "I am Raven, the Dark Heir, and I am part of a group for gifted people like you guys. Your powers will be put to good use. Hot head here would be able to legally blow stuff up on a near daily basis if he wanted to."
Raven smiled at hot head, knowing he had his attention.
"I highly recommend you join," Raven said darkly, twitching two fingers back and forth. Brookie was watching him work the crowd closely, he had touched on everyone in a way that was good for him, the people who were going to be the problem were starting to question being a problem, and the more innocent ones were already starting to get hooked, the violent ones were for sure interested. She watched him closely, keeping an eye for the signal. Two fingers twitched. He wanted a mirage of two... she kept watching his hand, and saw him make a circle with his fingers, and then a gun. Two giant guardian angles. This was a mirage she could handle.
She crossed her legs, closed her eyes, and concentrated, drawing light from everything around her, especially the moon. Slowly the moon began to darken, all it's light going into Brookie
The light of the moon darkened, as Raven closed his fist, the only light was the one Brookie had illuminated.
"It's the night time, I would not recommend funny business while in my element," he said, eyeing some of the newer guys, dressed to have been in the castle before. "I am very dangerous."
He closed his other fist, and the light Brookie had made went dark as well, the entire world seemed to be covered in a thick blanket.
Brookie was filled with the energies of the light she held inside of her, she was listening for the sign. "I am very dangerous," Raven said, and Brookie opened her eyes and began to bend the light, working it into the images in her mind, two gigantic angels, easily 100 feet tall stood around the castle, they were decked in very complicated armor, white-scale like armor accented with gold one was thinner, almost elegantly thin, and much taller, his helmet carried a gold cross on the faceplate, squared with a narrow eye slit. In his hands he held a gigantic sword, silver with a gold flame patter in the blade. The other was borader, stronger, his armor was Black scales, accentd with red, patterened with flames on the gauntlets and a red inverted cross on the faceplate, his weapon was a gigantic battle ax, with red flames surronding the entire weapon, from handle to blade.
Raven laughed darkly, knowing he might be over doing this. But he WAS the leader of the Gifted, and did not wanna kill anyone.
"Make your choice," he whispered, and the angels disappeared, the light returning to everything as it had been. Brookie lay down, unable to move, exhausted to the core. Raven sooo owed her ice cream.

Skailer watched the spectacle, shock playing out on his face through his eyes and the angry twitch of his mouth. His hands gripped the blade of his sword tightly, the leather murmuring against his heavy touch. But his frustration was instinctual, and he felt no fear, but rather a surge of pure excitement. Suddenly he could see the brilliance of the offer that Raven had made him earlier. A small grin touched his face, but it was fleeting, and he forced it down, crossing his arms over his chest. He tilted his head, as if he were pondering seriously, when he'd already made up his mind thoroughly. "Hm..." He muttered. "I suppose I'm a friend then." The word friend fell flat on his tongue and he winced. Skailer would be this boy's ally but he would never be his friend. They were partners. Nothing else. He half raised his hand into the air, playing it off as being cool enough not to care either way. Aspen looked at him and burst out laughing. "Dude. Don't even try that. You fail at life." She grinned hugely. Completely clueless, and not fully aware of the situation, she threw her arm up, her fans snapping shut with the movement and causing a brilliantly lit up explosion of wind to spiral around her slim form. "If you got Sky, you got me!" Skailer's expression changed and he turned to glare at her. "Hey! Are you saying I'm a loser or something?!"She laughed. "Wow, you're even slower than you were last time!"
"Bite me airhead!"Ooc:// Sorry guys!!! Its just been so busy the last couple weeks!!! BUT IM BACK!!! And btw... MARSHALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! <3 -tackleglomps- I MISSED YOUUUU!!!!

Raven smiled, seeing that hot head and a diff girl had raised their hands, though the human wild fire was hesitant, and trying to play it off cool, though he half failed.
"Hey, hot-head, you did good work with the building and the men, they are barely reduced to ash," raven called out, "I appreciate you having my back."
He knew this was gonna irritate him, but hey, the man does good work, he should be commended on it. He looked around, not really seeing a lot of familiar faces, though he knew he would get to know all of them really well pretty quickly, he shrugged and hopped down from the roof, enough people had raised their hands for him to know he wasn't in danger. He landed with a crunch and walked over to where hot head and the girl very familiar with him were standing, gesturing for the others to gather around. He smiled at them familiarly, like an old friend, even though he didn't really know any of them.
"Sorry, my associate Brookie will be along shortly, she's busy at the moment." Raven appologised, glancing up at one of the near by roofs Brookie sat up, dazed, she shouldn't be able to move yet, but she could sit up. She looked down to see Raven glance at her, surrounded by other people. She nodded and slowly climbed down to where he was at, taking her time.

ooc// Psh, yeah, don't worry, it won't get out of hand. I have a friend who refuses to come on unless there is a gay couple (especially if her character can initiate it XD), or something of the sort. She's an...interesting writer, but good all the same. I dunno, maybe I can get her on...
bic//
It all happened fast enough. People were raising there hands, muttering with others in their two-person group, or just staying silent. Then light hit, and North had pretty much blocked that out. Well, the guy up on the roof had hopped down, and North heard slight muttering from a few walls down. Of course, North had already agreed to an...interesting friendship, so he could do nothing but just go down to see who these people were. The one's he had answered to, obviously. Just in case, though...he thought, thinking back on the slightly terrifying voice. On one of the crumbling walls were a strange collection of battle axes, curved swords, and other assorted weapons of battle. North thought that he had all the right to be frightened, and pulled on off. It was thin, and responded to his movements well enough. It was silver, and embedded with one purple and two green gemstones. Ornately crawling up the stem of the sword were vines, beautiful, glinting in the paler moonlight. It's blade was curved, and he loved it. So, slipping it tighter into his hand, carefully drawing it around, he walked over to the voices with a thin smile plastered to his face. But, that glory of his, well at least what he thought was, was swelled when he turned the corner. Not only because he saw a squirrel, but because there was a girl which that squirrel was latched on to, and this girl seemed to be looking for him. Well. More the merrier!
She only wanted to know what he looked like, and now she did, but so did he. Well, not the him knowing what he looked like part, because of course he knew what he looked like, but more the this-guy-knows-what-I-look-like-part. And Zell didn't actually want him to see her, but what's done it done. Turning briefly on her toe, she sped back off towards Raven, wanting to actually give her answer. She didn't want to be part of some creepy-ass cult. Zell never liked clubs, socializing was out of the questing, and cults had to be a thousand times worse. Or so she thought--but she didn't want to give time to explain that. Why she was going to say something to him, she didn't know, maybe she just wanted him to convince her to stay, as if that would help her. Well, it's not like it will do me any harm, I can't go home without that damn package, Zell though bitterly, kicking at a pebble and going up to Raven, who was busy talking to that wanna-be candle. "I just wanna say," She began, looking at Raven's face. "I can't stay. Cults aren't my thing."
And of course, North was behind her, wanting to pet that squirrel of hers and to ask this man who he was.
ooc/ Erm...I have yet another question...how do you all change the font color? I do hope it isn't confusing, but either way, knowing who was in perspective by color coordination would probably be easier...

ooc// its up at th top, by Add tags:, go to the far left and ther should be a drop down bar that says colors.
He heard the female voice from behind him and pause mid-sentence, realizing how bad this was going to be if he could not get it under control, and it was dropping out of control fast, this would change what people thought, and he couldn't threaten them again, that would make him look bad. Brookie saw this, and walked up too. "It isn't a cult, love, its a family for those who need a place to belong, a business for those who need work to do, an army for those who need combat, we have an extensive base, with churches to every religion but satanism, but only cause we haven't run into one yet. When you come with us, you aren't signing out of your old life, you don't change your name, or who you are" Brookie smiled at the girl brightly, "you don't have to stay either, but we need to register the various powers everyone has, just to show that it's currently out and around, we dont even need a name"
The explanation was delivered to the girl, but the affect would definitely carry to everyone, even Raven was hooked in, as if he was an outsider.

Zell sighed, when she heard the word family, she felt...happy? Ah, that wasn't a good adjective to how she felt, but it must do, she felt extraordinarily pleased, maybe. Well, all that resolved, religions made her fell uncomfortable. She squirmed on the spot, looking down to the pretty blond girl with sparkling blue eyes. They made her feel accepted, though she could do without it, she would always try to tell herself. So, this person said that she didn't have to stay there, which obviously gave the idea that she could, too, and since she had nowhere, at all, to go, she decided if that was an option, she would gladly jump on it. She didn't listen to parts of this girls speech, because she didn't need to care. Her name? They can have it. Her old life? It can burn in hell! Who she was? Well, that reasoning goes beyond measure, she didn't give half a damn. Now, an army, that made her even more displaced. Zell's only promises, to herself, had reasoned around not fighting, nor disobeying her aunt--who had more or less made it her business to make sure the girl would listen to her every breath. Work is what she wanted, she wanted something to take her mind off things, especially that involving religion, for she had had uncomfortable experiences with that. Whatever, she thought bitterly, biting her bottom lip. "Fine, whatever, I'll do whatever you need." And she rolled her eyes a little, feeling as if she were signing to her death, but strangely at ease.

Skailer watched the girl walk over to Raven, complaints on her tongue, and raised his eyebrows. When the word cult came from her mouth, he erupted into laughter, showing his teeth as he did so. He doubled over, clutching his sides, tears coming to his eyes.
"It's so true too, that's whats funny!" He sputtered through fitful hiccups. "We all just signed up to be in a cult!"
Aspen have him a stunned look. "You don't mean, we have to drink blood or anything weird like that, right?"
"You stupid or somethin? That's vampirism. I highly doubt thats what this is!" A stupid grin stretched his cheeks, and he shoved his hands in his pockets nonchalantly, dismissing the hysterical bout of laughter with a shrug of his shoulders. "Well whatever. You got me."
Skailer walked closer to Raven, his mood suddenly darkening. "But you go back on that promise you made me earlier, and I will burn your darkness to shadows." (=.=)
Regardless of the fun this was sure to be, Skailer's mission still was painfully etched into his thoughts. He had to kill that man...
Aspen blinked. "Sky? What promise?"
"He's gonna make sure we catch him."
"Him? ... Oooooohhh. Wait- didn't I tell you that you were on your own for that one?"
Skailer spun and glared at her, his eyes blazing. "It doesn't really matter then, does it?! It should be your issue too. But you don't care. Whatever. You don't matter anyway."
"Ouch," Aspen said, pouting.

"I'm working on that man, but you can't go after him with so many people around who could get in the way, I'm organizing them, and then we will go after him." Raven whispered, smiling very warmly to the other people around him.
He looked to aspen and offered a friendly hand for a shake. "Raven Blackwater, it's a pleasure"
