Superhero Anarchy

The group sat at the meeting table Hurricane allowed entrance due to the fact that she was part of TMX, it was like sitting in the presence of a mutant legend. Duane had his feet on the table, he was smoking a cigar. Rayvin sat upright, looking at the room. Jennifer was busy playing with a dagger. Rage was in the corner, still calming down. And James sat at his chair, his \'leader chair. Looked to the group. \"Okay, We\'ve figured out from the guys we\'ve questioned. That Anthrax not only has a large Database of mutants, but also has a database of mutant factions in the area. I think we need to deal with this problem.\"

Duane looked with a shrug. \"What do you suggest buddy? We go in there guns blazing, ask em to stand aside while we raid their files? Not that simple buddy. That place is like a god damn prison. I was in it. I broke out with brute force, had I been any more careless than I was, I wouldnt be here right now.\"

Jennifer looked to James with a suggestion as she raised her hand, letting it be known she wanted to talk. \"Well why don\'t we just level the place James, you\'re the one who can flatten City Blocks with your energy blasts.\"

Hurricane shook her head intervening. \"We cannot do that, Many people would die, Mutant and Human, that complex has many workers, and many captive. Rash action would be unacceptable. And the Human / Mutant peace lines are skeevy as it is.\"

Rage looked. \"I dont see the problem with busting in there, fucking a few people up. Breaking some bastards in half, breaking some walls, breaking some balls, breaking doors, breaking computers, breaking security cameras, breaking cages, breaking jail cells, freeing some mutants. Just kicking some ass!\"

Duane shook his head. \"Kevin. You cant do that, you dont understand. I was being chased around by groups of people at a time. They would have a way to take you down, It doesnt mater how invulnreble you are.\"

Kevin looked to the side. James looked up. \"Okay, so stealth will be an option, Duane you know the place beter than anyone. You want to run the covert ops mission?\"

Rayvin looked up. \"I will do it.\"

Duane looked \"But Rayvin, you dont know your way around that place.

Rayvin shrugged. \"The cunning warrior is lead not by his knowledge, but lead by his intuition. Duane, not all things require a base knowledge. For, they know about as much of me, as I of them, thus I feel I have the edge over them. I am stealthier than you Duane. I believe that I will have the advantage.\"

Duane nodded lightly, taking Rayvins words to heart. \"If you want to go, I got no problem with it. I could use the rest.\"

James nodded \"Okay, Rayvin, you\'re going to be in charge of the Covert Ops, mission, seek and destroy the documents. Here is a folder with all the information we have. You will leave tonight. I\'ll let you get ready.\"

Rayvin nodded \"How long do I have to complete this mission.\"

James shrugged. \"Take as much time as you need.\"

Rayvin nodded and stood up. Hurricane followed him as he left the room. Duane looked at him. \"I hope, for his sake, that he\'s prepared for whats coming.\"

James looked. \"Knowing Rayvin as well as we do. We should know that he would\'nt had volunteered had he not known what he was getting into.\"

Duane nodded. Jennifer looked. \"I hope he is sure about all this.\"


Rayvin sat on his bed, getting his gear together. putting his swords in their sheathes, and putting them on his back, the x pattern sheathes, that clinged to his shirt, the white straps, then he slid his nunchucks onto the hip side holsters on his suit. He looked to Hurricane. \"I will be fine, I\'ve done things like this, often and I am used to putting myself on the line in a situation dire to the state of the team.\"

Hurricane nodded, looking at Rayvin. He was interesting to her. The way he spoke, like he didnt care, or didnt know how to. He seemed so blank, so, transparent emotionally, she sympathised for him. Eventhough she didnt understand. \"Tell me, Why.. do you seem so unemotional?\"

Rayvin was up now, collecting throwing stars into a pouch. Looking back to her, blankly, in a rather monotone way, he replied. \"It was how I was raised.\"

Hurricane looked at him curiously. \"Why were you raised in such a way Rayvin. How cold does someone have to be to raise their son in such fasion?\"

Rayvin shrugged. \"My father was one of the most legendary martial artists in Japan. He wanted me to follow in his footsteps. I was introduced into the martial arts at an early age, and mastered my first form by the age of 13, I learned quickly.\"

Hurricane nodded. She sat closely and looked at him. \"Wow, you must\'ve worked hard, did you have many friends?\"

Rayvin shook his head. \"No... not until my late high school years, this one girl.. she was my first, however, when my father found out, he banished me from home. I came to Canada. Met Duane and James, joined their mutant faction before the war.\"

Hurricane nodded. \"Im sorry.\"

Rayvin shook his head. \"Dont be, my father\'s cruelty is not to be brought upon to the pity and sorrow of others, he was, foolish in the way he raised me, but his love for me was second to none. And hejust wished that he had a son to carry the family legacy.\"

Hurricane nodded slowly. \"I see.\" She looked around. \"But why were you banished, why didnt he give you a second chance, that doesnt make any sense to me.\"

Rayvin shrugged. \"I am not sure. That girl and I were, very close. But she was intrigued by what she called my \'social barriers.\' I believe I\'ve worked on those since then.

She was confused but Hurricane nodded with a smile. \"What about your family\'s legacy rayvin?\"

Rayvin shrugged, he drew a sword from one sheathe. He held it in his hands as he looked to her. \"My family, from generation, to generation, has always had one great martial artists, ninja, samurai, any type of person who was a master of the martial arts. These swords, were an ancestor\'s of mine, thousands of years ago. These swords have been passed down from generation, to generation. My father gave them to me. He believes that I am the greatest of the generations. And that he\'s proud of me for that, I dont understand why, because he bannished me like i wasn\'t anyone of importence.\"

Hurricane looked to him, with a curiousity, she stood up. \"You\'re a mutant, right. What are your powers?\"

\"Dont you have them on file?\" Rayvin reliped curiously, he looked at her, she seemed to understand him it seemed, he felt that, she felt for him. For how he was raised, she sympathised for him. He wasnt an empath, but he read body language greatly.

She shook her head \"We dont have all your powers, Jennifer McNaulty\'s and Kevin Yates either. Infact, we had none of your powers on file, just that you were confirmed mutants, due to your respective involvment in the war.

Rayvin nodded. \"I manipulate blood, any way you can imagine, I can do it. Blood Flow, Blood Type, really most anything you can imagine.\"

Hurricane nodded. \"That must be why they call you \'Blood Raven\' then, isnt it?\" She looked at him, he nodded in reply. She thought to herself. And shrugged. \"You know, I know a bit of, martial arts myself. Maybe we could have a quick sparring session?\"

Rayvin shrugged. \"We\'ll see if you can learn anything.\"

They stood up and got into position, she charged rayvin with some punches, move for move, rayvin blocked her, until a quick move of his leg, he tripped her up, and flipped over her. \"You\'re fighting skill has promice.\"

Hurricane got back up and looked at him. She smirked lightly. \"You caught me off guard there, you little sneak.\" She stepped towards him and came at him with a roundhouse kick. Rayvin blocked it with a forearm and came back with some counter punches that she blocked easily. Rayvin jumped up and kicked. Hurricane ducked.

Jennifer was walking towards the room. \"Hey Ray, got you some last second.. holy.\" Hurricane and Rayvin were too busy in combat, eventhough it was friendly, to notice Jennifer\'s presence. So she kept watching by the doorside. Rayvin rolled under a kick of her, ran up the wall and backflipped behind her, a sweeping kick of hers however hit him in the gut.

Rayvin staggered back, her attack was quick and frequent, he kept up with it though, blocking and perrying her attacks, but soon a roundhouse kick to his chin sent him to the ground. Hurricane quickly pounced tackling him to the ground. They stared at eachother for a bit, before Hurricane leaned down and kissed Rayvin.

Rayvin quicker than a lightning bolt got out of her pin, standing up, blushing. He looked, speaking weakly, stuttering. \"Umm, I, um, have to, umm, go, umm, medidtate!\" and with that he darted out of the room faster than Sonic The Hedgehog!

Jennifer clapped at the doorway. \"Congradulations, you have succeeded in giving as much effect to rayvin as he had when he walked into the bathroom one day and I was in the bathtub. Be careful with him, his feelings are fragile.\"

Hurricane was confused, Rayvin was gone, and Jennifer walked away. \"But, I thought he didnt have any.\"
