Download chuckled slightly to herself, sounded like Fiwa was having a good time. The fire side of her was indeed... interesting. she muttered to herself trying to judge where the best place would be to get the clearest image of where the nature freak would be. she knew the air vents would have the most recent acess, but they were never clear as they were only sounds.
she muttered slightly as she got off her board, and clicked the 'miniturize' button. well, miniture was not the right word for it. it was smaller, but it was still roughly the size of a large-ish backpack.
"think we can work on makin i' smalla?" asked Download to Zoom as she pushed her way further into the building.
"sure," said Zoom, dismisively, "but keep ur mind on the job."
"I am," she snapped, "i jus can' remembr hw far i can pentra'e inter the wall par'icles."
"u sound clever."
"shut it..." she was starting to resent Zoom's smart alec remarks, but at the same time she knew it would only be like that when she was in a bad mood or concentrating hard. she reached a point where should could feel her mind pushing in through the wall almost searching for the apropriate memory. Then she found it.
Nature boy was pretty hot. Tall well build, dark brown hair, almost wood like, caramel skin (evidently black/white mixed kid), and dark forest green eyes, that seemed to almost swerve off into a sort of dark yellow at times. like autumn. as Download watched, she could have sworn those eyes, fierce as they appeared, seemed somewhat out of focus. he seemed to be talking in a mutter to himself, so much so that Download almost thought he was scitzophrenic. but they seemed more contructive than that. Download allowed herself to peer round the room while keeping a keep 'eye' on the enemy. it was large, posh and protected. but it wasn't anything too difficult. it was almost as though he hadn't thought things through. he wasn't very old to be honest.
'probs his first gig,' thought Download as she stepped back from her trance. all around her senses were on fire, she could feel anything, but then and there, there was nothing. at was too quiet. she felt like a sitting duck.
"wats going on Zoom? it's no' righ'…"
"I know," he replied, "i'm on it. but it looks like the people are out. and he's only hurt one of them and that was by accident. reports say he barely even achknowledged their existance."
"there's summat fishy goin on. the memories of this place make him seem almost... like a scitzophrenic. i could have sworn 'e was tellin 'imself off jus now."
"you know where he is?"
"yeah, Fiwa u be'er listen too. old hall. with all the decorations. ill see yer there." she took one last look round, the eirie quiet was disconcerting and she was glad to be leaving there.

"Uh, old hall? I think I passed that a few moments ago." Fiwa responded, grunting as one stone guard landed a hit on her stomach before melting due to the heat she spread up his arm. It wasn't a very solid hit, but enough to make her stomach hurt and make her grunt.
She whipped around, and began sort of hobble-walking toward the old hall. Her ability to walk returned as the attack she suffered's pain faded, and by the time she reached the old hall, she was running again. The old hall turned only one way, and Ember turned into it, running down it, glancing into empty rooms that she had removed the guards from earlier and freed the people.
One room was left at the end of the hall, there wern't any doors down this far in the hall, so Fiwa had accidently skipped this room earlier. Now, she headed right for it, not bothering to slow down as she hit the door, it burst right open, not even locked. The mayor and his guards were tied up, and were off to one side of the room, all unconcoius. Two stone guards came at Fiwa, one from each side. She stood still as they charged, then did a backwards roll seconds before they would have squished her. Instead, they just rammed into each other, and destroyed each other. All by "accident". The only opposing force left was Nature Junior himself, in the middle of the room.

Download got there just in time to see Fiwa have the stone guards smash each other. she chuckled slightly, but kept out of her way. she needed Fiwa to get Nature Dude trapped, then she could get hold of him without actually burning the git. she watched silently as Fiwa approched the approximately 21 year old.

His back was turned, and he was muttering to himself, completely oblivious to anything around him. Fiwa smirked, this was too easy. And due to that, fire was bored. Fire wanted to play a game...
Fiwa took another step foreward, her steady pace never breaking even as fire decided on what it wanted to do. The flames dissapeared, and just Auru in her fire/waterproof supersuit. She walked toward Nature boy, and tapped him on the shoulder. He whipped around, and stared at Fiwa with unfocused eyes. It took him a few moments, quick moments, but enough for Fiwa to have taken him out by now if Download didn;t want to inspect him. Wind started blowing around the room, staring gentle, and pulling Nature boy backwards into a corner through the air. The farther away he got, chuncks of Earth began coming up through the floor. The wind "threw" the chuncks of Earth at Fiwa, but she burst into flames and let both fuels feed her instead of using up her own energy. Flames still covering her, she walked calmly toward Nature boy, whose fear was rising, she could see it in his mouth lines, his eyes seemed... possessed.
"All you do is fuel me. I'd say you stop now." Fiwa told him, her voice crackling with the fire running her body currently.
Out of the corner of her eye, as the wind died down, she saw Download run toward them, pressed against one of the walls Nature boy was up against, so he couldn't see her. If he could see at all.

"Don't kill him, Fire," murmered Downloading, knowing that Fiwa stopped being both and was purely fire. It was a good defnce mechanisum. But it did the mission no favours, "we need answers, and he's not himself." those blazing eyes settled on her. "his eyes are completely out of focus, something is very very wrong." The guy hadn't even achknowledged Download's presence, his eyes were fixed on Fire. His breathing had slowed down, it was shallow and his out of focus eyes were dulling, he suddenly went limp.
something clicked in Downloads head, "NO!" she shouted, launching herself at him, she caught him as he colapsed. She tried to support him, but as she did so her cheek brushed his and she was thrown into the grip of a very strong memory.
it was Nature junior, as she now knew his name to be, but not as she had him then. his hair was shorter, and he was perfectly clean shaven, this guy had stubble like he hadn't shaven for a while. he was also wearing normal clothes. Unusually she couldn't hear anything, but he was clearly angry, he was shouting something at someon she couldn't yet see, but that was wen she noticed a blue tooth in his ear. she looked around, he was alone in a hall. his features were tight and angry, his hands were flexing as though he needed to let out some anger. she felt cold, like a wind would have been blowing, but his hair was too short to see that. but the earth kept undulating. she would have felt it, but this was her memory body so the rules didnt apply here.
finally she heard a snippet of what he said, "forget it Wrap kid," his voice was deep, musical, accented with the upper class of the nation, and frighteningly angry, she got the feeling he would have made an aweful enemy even if he didnt have powers. "i am not killing kids. i can't do that! and i dont even know what those kids did to you-" there was a pause, "I DON'T CARE HOW OLD THEY ARE! i am not putting them in danger. your on your own." pause. "so how you gonna-" blackout.
she felt as though she was floating, but a voice was mumbling insructions to him in his head. the sound wasn't mant for her, as such her head started to feel as though it was about to explode. she screamed as well as she could in her memory body and something broke.
"who's that!" came that voice she heard from Nature Junior.
"Download," she said, gasping, "are you Nature junior."
"yeah- HELP ME! i cant get out! he's trying to-"
she felt something on her physical body and she was yanked out of his memories. as she tumbled back into the physical relm, she screamed in pain.
she blinked a few times, relaising next to no time had past. her attention was on Nature boy immediately. he was blinking too, looking confused. his eyes met hers and he started violently.
"whats going… on?" he mumbled.

Fiwa blinked, and since logic was not fires strong point, she gave control back Auru.
"Download, what did you see? You did something." Fiwa was next to Nature boy in an instant, and studied his eyes and movements, taking everything in.
His eyes were focused, and confused. Not a hint of natural evil in them, it was all artificial, as if somebody had tried, in the wrong ways, to implant it into him. Not only that, but his speech was natural now too, not as if he was reciting anything. It was no longer monotone, it had emotion in it, most of it confusion. And his movements were no longer robotic. It was obvious now what was/had happened to the young man, he had been mind controlled.
"You were being mind controlled, from what I can tell." she hurridely told him, they could try and take him back at any moment, "Do NOT believe you are evil, you are definately not. I can tell by your eyes. You are not evil, dispite what anybody has ever told you. When you feel somebodys presence in your mind attacking you-"
He went from staring at her in confusion, with a spark of the true goodness inside of him lighting at her words, to doubled over in pain, screaming for "you" to leave.
"FIGHT IT!" Fiwa called to him over his shouts, hoping he could hear her, "Download, can you bring me into his mind? He's going to need help fighting whomever is in his mind, and if anything or anybody could do it, it would be my fire. She is a brunt strength, even inside of minds."

(im gonna make her fail this 1- jst coz shes still a learner ye?)
Download herself was in a state of shock, she had never done that in someone's mind. comunicated with them. but then again, she had never been into a memory where a person had been mind controlled. under normal circumstances she would have been reeling. but just then she didn't let herself be; there was time to be confused later.
"i dunno," she said shakily, "i've never bridged before… i guess i could try." she held out her hand to take Fiwa's the grasped Nature juniors too, but then he was stabilising, but the flashes of the control were getting worse. it was as though he were stabalising back into mind control- they didnt need that. she focused on connecting the two, but instead of going into the same state as she was in before- she was almost litterally split in half! her memory body was anyway. the memories jumbled together coming thick and fast. she screamed out in pain, pulled her hands away from the other two supers, her back arched as she tried to pull her spiritual body back into her too, but it wasn't making any difference. she was on the floor writhing in pain, screaming out in blinding agony, lashing out if anything touched her.
but the force that she wrenched out of the two people knocked the mind controller clear from Nature Junior entirely, and he was now himself. he watched helplessly as the strange girl who had kicked that mind controler from his head.

(I suppose thats a good thing, I was going to knock Auru out for a few days if she did succeed ) Fiwa took Downloads hand, closed her own eyes, and... And something completely unexpected happened. She was sucked back into one of her memories, a recent one, of this morning. It was like she was seeing it, but then another thing hit her, and she was seeing a memory from Nature Boy as well, presumably(sp?) the one Download herself had seen earlier. It was confusing and supringingly painful to watch two things at once. Download screamed, and let go of Fiwas hand, trying to suck the half of herself that was in Fiwa back into herself. But her hand had pulled away too quickly, it was like she was trapped inside of Fiwa. Least now all she was doing was seeing her own memory now. Treating the memory like it was a random thought, she focused on her real vision, and was able to bring in a shaky version of what her real eyes were seeing. Download was curled into a ball, still screaming, but that could only fainly be heard over her memory. Fiwa reached for Download, and was viciously slapped away. She reached again, and grabbed ahold of her partners hand, sucessfully this time. Nails dug into her skin, and she ignored the sharp pain and the feel of blood trickling down her arm. Her focus was on Download's spiritual form. The girl was in too much pain to realise what she could do now. Using the only path she knew what to do, Fiwa shoved Download into her own body. It hurt. Quite a bit. But not near as much as trying to see two memories at once did. Download began to calm down a bit, now that she was only trapped in one other body. Fiwa kept her hand in Downloads, the more pain that was infliced on Fiwa, the less stress would build up in herself later on. Weakly, very weakly, Fiwa motioned for Nature Boy to grab the whimpering Downloads other hand. He did so, but reluctantly, seeing the 5 streams of blood coming out of Fiwas hand. But he did so, and that was another point for him. The second their skins touched, Download calmed completely down, she could handle it from here. Even so, Fiwa kept her hand in Downloads.

Downlaod whimpered, she was only semi-consious. she hated this feeling. now her spiritual form was back inside her, she couldn't come out, not properly. she couldn't see, it was like it was all a blur of colour and darkness at the same time. occasionally memories she had taken from people in the past danced across her eyes, but that was about it. they weren sharp, but vague and distorted. she was in agony, but at the same time she was aware of a change in her power. a very slight shift, but it was there. it was a development.
"get her back to head quarters," she could make out Zoom saying, he sounded gruff and angry, but there was almost a hint of worry there that comforted her in her shell like state, "and Nature Junior. They both need lookin after, we'll talk to Nature Junior when they're sorted."
"Fiwa? Auru?" muttered Download, gripping a hand that felt familliar, "don' le' go…" she was becoming Talise again, only this time she was weak and she hated it, but she needed Auru just then, not Fiwa, Auru, "Auru… I feel like shi'…"

Auru was also back to being just Auru, the battles were over, "I don't plan on it."
Auru pulled herself slowly to her feet, feeling very drained. Nature Junior just sat there, still rather bewildered. Auru smiled, if he hadn;t been, he would have been not as true as Auru believed he was. She pulled Talise to her feet, using some of the energy left over by fires rage of no main battle. Least, not one she fought in. The girl leaned heavily on her, but she pulled an arm over her shoulders, and took her friends weight with what strength she had, or was recieving from fire.
"C'mon, Nature. We need to get back to the main building." she told him, and he looked up at her, confusion so thick in his eyes she could have cut it with a rusty spoon. The confusion, that is, not his eyes.
She smiled again, "Download will be able to explain later via memories. It will be the most efficient way. For now, come along."
He followed her like a lost puppy as she slowly made her way back to the main entrance. Well, in a sense, he was. The second they stepped out from behind the walls around the city hall, cheers erupted all around. Auru smiled, but Nature Junior hung his head. They walked past the walls, and they all crumbled into small rocks and rubble that would be easy to remove. At least he knew what he had to do right then, Auru gave him that much.
She looked back at him, he did look ashamed of himself, looking more like a small child at the moment rather than a grown man. Auru couldn;t help it, she giggled, catching his attention.
"Can you fly us back to the tower on a slab of rock or something?"she asked, "I can direct, I just can;t get back quickly enough by myself currently. And Downloads board only works for her, so yeah. I have my own, but I don;t use it."
No responce came from Nature, besides for him encircling his arms securely around both girls, and the small section of ground they were standing on rose into the air, above all of the nearby buildings. Auru told him what the tower looked like, and gave him the basic direction of it. They flew toward it, she could see it peeking out from between two other buildings, slightly taller than the ones around it. the slab tilted a bit, so they could move faster, making Auru's heart race, she wasn;t controlling this, it was freaking her out a tad bit. he could kill them if he wanted too, right here and right now. But he didn;t, in fact, his grip tightened, making it a touch harder for Auru to breathe, but she felt ten times safer. Talise had hear head half on Aurus shoulder, half on Nature's chest. She was out now, fast asleep. There was no way Auru would be able to carry a sleeping girl inside, or to the medical floor, underground.

Name: Adam Lucus
AKA: Nature Junior ('Nature')
Age: 21
Appearance: Tall well build, dark brown hair, almost wood like, curly/fluffy (sort of), caramel skin (evidently black/white mixed kid), and dark forest green eyes, that seemed to almost swerve off into a sort of dark yellow at times. like autumn. Almond shaped eyes. wear's a pentagle amulet around his neck (from his grandfather) and a skull ring on his middle finger, in silver, however it is usually turned so that the skull is facing down and it looks like a plain silver ring.
Powers: control over air and earth- very advanced, he can control both at the same time and they do not have their own personalities- they are under his control.
personality: he's very distant, to begin with. very quiet and resurved. he doesn't like too many people (i shall explain why in history), but when he does start to get on with someone he is very loyal and awefully blunt- he dusnt think through what he says. he hardly speaks to 'normal' people, and still finds it hard to relate to supers like himself. but he is a sweet person, with a viscous side if you hurt him or 1 of his few and far between friends.
history: he was abandoned by his family at the age of 7 when his powers came to light, they saw him as a freak and wantd nothing to do with him. they were high up in the state, and didnt want 'that blemish' on their family. he was raised by the power association, but even growing up and in school he was relatively anti-social. they were worried for a long time that he would become evil- it never happend untill he was put into mind control. the only reason he was weakened to it was because he found out the father he had till he was 7 was not his birth father- his blood father left when he was only 6 months (his blood parents weren't married) and it became apparent that he was ann elemental (darkness and air) and evil- almost worse than warp boy. he found it out early on and he workd hard to get rid of the stigma, but the othr kids found out too and for that he was alienated and bullied into a shell- which is y hes nt very good with people. he resisted warp boy's mind control as much as he could, but soon enough he was drained, knocked out and lockd into his own consiousness as the mind controlr (even he doesnt know if it was female or male) took over.

It wasn't till the doors of the medial room hissed open did Talise wake up. She found herself in the strong, unfamilliar, arms of a boy. her eyes were bleary and she still ached from her development. she felt someone squeese her hand. she squinted, she was still clutching onto Auru. she smiled to see Auru hadn't let go, Talise had needed her so much and she hadnt been adandoned.
As she was settle on a bed, she forced her eyes open more and blinked up at Nature and Auru.
Auru looked flaberghasted that she was already consious- Talise got th feeling Emmie was involved with her mental healing, but she didn't bother cheaking (her aunt always new when she had a development).
"are… are… you ok?" stammered a deep, almost velvet voice.
Talise frowned at looked up at Nature Junior. There was no way it was Jack. Jack had a rough downtown voice like herself. this sounded almost upperclass.
"meh… i'll deal," she made an effort to smile, then grimiced at her blinding head ache, "what about u? u had some freak messin with your head."
"your nt a freak," he stated, still half whispering.
"i mean' the mind controlla, swee'ie," teased Talise, feeling better as she spoke.
"oh that… i'm fine… thank you for saving me from that. i dont know why you bothered."
Talise frowned. "coarse i bothered- you're no' ter blame fer wha' happened, and if i remember correctly when i barged into your memories and saw- the controler also tried to kill you."
Nature frowned, then blushed, and nodded.
"what's your name?" she asked, softly.
"Adam Lucus."
"Talise White, nice to meet you…" she glanced at Auru, and squeesed her hand and smiled. "thank you Auru- dunno wha' i woulda dun wiv ou' yer."
"you would b dead you stupid girl!" snapped Jack walking into the medical room, the doors hissing angrily bhind him, "WHAT THE HELL WE-"
Talise grimiced again, shutting her eyes tight from th noise. she wasn't alright yet.
"sorry…" he muttered, then started again in more of an angry hiss, "what the hell do yer think you were doing you could have been killed! you're not meant to develop when your on a mission! you do that here! safely! so you do not pass out and panic and almost DIE!" he shouted the last word.
Talise shrugged. "Adam wuz dyin'," she said tiredly, "they had taken over 'is mind and when-"
"Adam?" asked Jack tiredly.
"Nature Junior, kiddo- well dude standin' over there like 'e's walked in on a family disagreemen'."
"feels like i have," murmered Adam, almost soundlessly.
"anyways!" snapped Talise quickly, "when i memory walkd 'im i 'alf kickd ou' the mind controlla. no' to'ally tho. so they tried ter kill 'im in case 'e spilled. well i think tha's wa' they wuda dun anyway. so i had ter do summat!" she didnt want to say it was Auru's idea, coz she would get into trouble for something that she didn't even mean to do- and Talise had agreed to it anyway.

Auru rolled her eyes, "Jack, it was my idea. I asked her to bridge between myself and Adam, so that fire might be able to attack his mind controller. It backfired, seeing as she never bridged before. You know there are some powers meant for bridging, and others not. We're not sure if hers is yet or not. But she's alive and not still half in me and half in Adam. be lad for that."
Suddenly, Auru realised too late that fire's extra power burnt out, she collapsed to the floor, her legs having turned to jello. She grimaced, the floor was hard, not suited for crash landings.
"That hurt." Jack was over her in a second, looking like he was going to yell something, but he was silenced by the giggle escaping from between Auru's lips, "You look funny. With your moth hanging open, that is."
Jack closed his mouth quickly, but helped Auru to her feet, and then let her lean on him till Ed's robot came over and allowed Auru to sit on him. It was slightly odd-looking, but it was much like being the rider on somebodys shoulders, if they were metal, that is, for Auru.
"Alright, Ed, do we have a spare room for Adam?" Auru asked, leaning heavily on Ed's "head".
"Of course. He can have the room across from Tala's and next to Jack's." Ed replied, moving slowly so Auru didn;t fall, but checking over Talise's condition, "You;ll need to have some bed rest for the next day or so, along with you, Auru. Adam, you'll need to help keep things in line around here until both are recovered. You are now a part of this team, and responsibilities are given all around."

"I'll be fine by termorra," retorted Talise, almost angrily, pushing herself up on the pillows of the oddly comfortable hard bed, "developmen' only knocks me ou' fer six hours a' the most."
"I still think it would be a better idea if you stayed in bed for two days just to make sure. your… uh… developmeant might not be over," pointed out Ed, "bridging is a hard form of mind inflitration, and you half managed it- but you were not sure how to control it or go about it. there for, you minght have some problems functioning properly for the next couple of days it would be safer if you stayed in bed."
Talise opened her mouth to argue, but Jack got there first- having before giving Adam oddly dirty looks. "look Tala- you're young, and powerful, like Auru," he stated.
"i intrude on memories," she muttered angrily.
"which almost makes you as dangerous as fire," Jack pointed out, sighing, "but that's no' the point. powerful powers in development could backfire and kill you if you're not careful! it has been known to happen."
"i've seen it happen," this was Adam, he had spoken for the first time, all eyes turned to him, even robotic, colour crept into his face and his green eyes slid to the floor, but he ploughed on, "a kid in my old class, a little older than me, mind controller ironically. he had a development, he could pretty much put his... uh... spiritual? is that it? yeah... spiritual body into another person. but he got stuck and couldn't come back again. he panic and yanked himself out- but that torn the link. his real body went into a link while his brain screamed in pain. he died in two weeks."
Talise stared at him, he just looked at the floor.
"Adam?" she half whispered.
"i don't want to scare you," he said suddenly, "i just want you to know what could happen. you saved my life. i owe you big time. but i just don't think eithr of you two should die. it wouldn't be right."
sensing that he wouldn't like her to say much more on the matter she simply smiled. "Adam?"
he looked up at her.
"thank you."
he stared at her, then allowed a tiny smile to creep across his face and again red flamed across his cheeks. "Ed?" he said quietly, "give me some work to do… i've got alot to make up for."

Auru grimaced, "that sounds extreamly painful. It was bad enough after Tala tried pulling herself out and the physical conection was cut, but that sounds like... ow."
"Ed?" he said quietly, "give me some work to do… i've got alot to make up for."
Jack grinned, "I knew there was a reason I liked you. I'd say-"
Suddenly, Auru's eyes rolled back into her skull, and she slumped foreward. She had completely run out of energy.
"Your first job is to get Auru into her bed." Jack finished. Shaking his head.
(skip to next day, or what?)
