Terra-connected
The Outsiders Headquarters had been empty, save for one person, for the past few days. Everyone else had been out and about, which was perfectly fine with Calypso. She needed time to think things through about her father, Brion Markov. Ever since she was a little girl, she never felt any inclination to get to know him. She never wanted to be a part of his life.

But when he was in trouble, she jumped at the chance to help him. And then she met him in person, and it was like nothing she had experienced before. She felt some sense of security in the part of her family that was attached to the surface world above Strata. Little did she know, however, that was overdue for a little family bonding with her long-dead aunt, Tara Markov.

She did know, however, that something was off when the earthen walls around her began to violently tremble.

The sword pierced Calypso--ran right through. She gasped for a moment, and struggled mildly as her life fleeted from her. Her vision blurred, and then faded.

A dark streak zipped passed Tara Markov. A voice spoke to Calypso as a black ring slipped onto her finger, and she twitched suddenly. And then a green light was cast upon her, radiating from the Earth itself. The black ring shattered, the earthen sword crumbled and cleared away from the hole in Calypso chest, which rapidly mended under the green light.

And Calypso opened her eyes.

"What the...?"

She was confused, but shook her head and glared at Tara Markov.

"You bitch!" she exclaimed. She didn't throw dirt this time, either. He threw a right hook at Tara, backed with 100+ Class strength.

	The blow took Terra's head clean off, sending it flying through the walls. It landed somewhere in the neighborhood of Southern California. The body crumpled to the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Calypso took a moment to marvel at herself. Then she looked down and uttered thanks to the Earth for this gift. And then she took off into the city, to see if this was happening to more people and where she could help. (Reply to this)(Parent)
