Natalie peeked an eye out from her "hiding place". "Was it really that obvious without my blurting everthing out?"

"You spawned jelly." Nathan deadpanned. He shook his head. "but where are my manners. I'm Nathan." he held out his hand.

Vale Medical Research Institute
Parking Lot
November 6, 2010
11:25 AM
"Maybe I should have driven here instead. Took me almost an hour...What the hell?!" Carlos looked around him to see...magma. Lots and lots of molten rock all around. "What in the world happened here?" He gracefully jumped on one of the destroyed police cars to avoid having his feet melted. That wave of energy...It's way stronger now... Carlos thought, and before long he had discovered the source. He saw a...peculiar looking man staring back toward Valeshroud City. "You!" Carlos shouted in as heroic a voice as possible under given circumstance. He jumped over to another car when the one he stood on was almost completely melted. "What have you done?" he demanded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Yea, like, what do you want, dude?" Johnny glared. "Like, as an Ace Reporter, I have reporting to do. I don't have time to sit and talk, dude." |

Aaron scratched his nose. "Like you, Nathan?"

'Scuse me?" Nathan glanced at Aaron.

"Here. Walk with me. Talk with me." Lila led him out of the office. "How was your meeting with the mayor? I'm sooo jealous you got to go. You must be a great reporter to be sent!" Lila offered him a smile and swung her hips a little as they walked. It was killing her to talk to him this way, but she wanted that information.
-------------------
Natalie stared at Nathan's hand and shook it hesitantly. "I'm Natalie, and that's Aaron." She gestured to her friend.

"Oh, nothing," he waved it away. "And yeah, I'm Aaron Stillman."

"Well, yea, dude. Meeting was totally fine. Like, I think we've already established my 'Ace Reporter' status. It's only natural that I'm the one to get sent. Reporting is totally my life." Johnny smirked, but it quickly turned into a frown. "And, dude, like, you're totally keeping me away from it. That, like, practically means I'm dead, and I, like, don't like being dead, dude. So, if you'll excuse me..." Johnny prepared to walk back into the editor's office.

Cyril turned to face the man barking at him.
"A suit of armor. How quaint," he quipped, smiling at his own snark. "This?" he waved his arms around his lake of molten rock, "This is nothing. An appetizer for the fate of this plane. But I suppose that this may have been a bit excessive."
He waved his arms and the lake of lava vanished, save for a small pool. From the pool of molten rock, he fashioned what appeared to be a massive hammer. It must have weighed six times his own weight.
"Now tell me, stranger," he said as he turned his weapon towards the Silver Matador. "Where is the Catalyst?"

"A pleasure." Nathan said evenly. "Well, I suppose class will be starting soon..."

"Yeah. " Aaron studied Nathan a moment longer before facing the front of the class. He reached out telepathically to Natalie, something did rarely. He hoped she wouldn't make a scene this time.
'He's a super, as well, Natalie. I can tell.'

Lila grabbed Johnny's shoulder. "Wait. I have a proposition for you. Tell me what you know about those incidents at the Biological and Medical Research Center, and I'll help you investigate. This is too big of a chance to pass up!"

Natalie jumped when she heard Aaron's voice in her head. She glanced at Nathan to see if he noticed before thinking to herself/Aaron. "Normal people wouldn't make that assumption so quickly, even in the town we live in. He has to be."

'No, I mean, I can tell.' He tapped his head.

"Um, dude? Are you, like, crazy? What kind of journalist would I be if I just told everyone everything? Like, as an Ace Reporter, I think I can handle this, dude. Thanks for the offer, though." Johnny laughed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Silver Matador snatched off his crimson cape and held it by its corner. Being made of some sort of strange metallic fiber hybrid, the cape transformed into a large lance. He held it in a defensive position and said "What in the world are you talking about? What 'catalyst'? And why do you have to destroy an entire research facility and a dozen SWAT team members to find it?"

Natalie blushed. 'Oh, yeah...What is he?'
------------------------
Lila scowled. She grabbed the color of Johnny's shirt and pulled him towards her face. "Listen, "Ace", I'm not missing this chance. You know what I want to know, and you know I can't do do anything until I know. Tell me what you know." Lila's eyes would burst into flames if that was physically possible.

"You can stop talking about me." Nathan said, staring at the black board with a bored expression. "And I know that you are."

Aaron shook his head marginally. 'I can't tell without completely opening my mind to his. Not something I want to do for a number of reasons. But he is a super, a powerful one at that. Don't be surprised if you see a new face while traipsing about at night as Toast Girl.'

Cyril wiped some sweat off his brow. "The Catalyst is the single most important person on this planet. As terrible as my actions may seem, should I find the Catalyst, I will be remembered as a saint. With each day, my power grows. But with my growth, comes the weakening of The Outsider's binding. Within a month, I will become the most powerful being on Earth and soon after that, He will be freed from my mind. With his return, this dimension will end. Collapse under its new-found weight."
Cyril's gaze turned to the reflective surface of his hammer. The look in his eyes. Sorrow? Regret?
"Should I find the Catalyst, the world will still burn, but humanity will not burn with it. The Outsider and I will be one. Billions will die, but hundreds will survive. Humanity will not die. The Catalyst will die for them. Through her comes your salvation."
Cyril lifted his hammer in a two handed grip. "Now, help me find her, or become an obstacle. Your choice."
