It wasn't fair! He had spent so much time and money making himself invulnerable, to prepare himself to survive the inevitable nuclear holocaust. He had built an empire, amassing great wealth wealth and power. He had been opposed by the so-called superheroes and the idiots that represented the law. He had attempted vengeance but in the end such efforts had been unproductive. In the end, he had decided to take what was left of his empire, and retire to live out the rest of his life in peace, away from self-righteous fools that dogged him. He had purchased ownership of an unmarked island, and had lived there in decadent luxury. But now...

Now he was dying from a disease adapted to his body. None of his doctors could cure it. His invulnerable body worked against him as his unique immune system prevented any treatments from heading the illness off. He tried to contract underworld doctors into aiding him, but none could do it. Damon Dran was still a wanted man, but..he would need help from the so-called "legitimate" medical community. There was a doctor, Ian Lennox, who had invented a new kind of vaccine. Dran needed him. He gave the order for his people to kidnap the doctor.

He knew this would attract the hated "heroes" so he put in a call to Calvin Hammer, the Mastermind of the Secret Empire. He would need help, the cost seemed negligible at this point.

She had been keeping busy. School just really did not challenge her at all so to keep her mind occupied Kayura had dove even more into practicing and keeping her mind away from what had happened.

It did get better. She had resolved to not let it destroy her simply because she realized it had not destroyed others who had been forced to do the same thing. And that was when she noticed as she put her work up that it was spring.

A very early spring but somehow that was nice. She decided she might go for a run. So she went and changed into proper clothing because it would be very silly to run in a skirt and she went on a run. It turned into a very long run. She hadn't meant to go for so long but the weather was just very nice and whenever she stopped to stretch she kept thinking she could go for a while longer so she kept moving.

She did have to note she would be eating very heavily late because she was getting very hungry but also saw no reason to stop just yet plus she was working up a big sweat and wouldn't want to eat anywhere.

That did though remind her she had two of her favorite things in her office. That made her decide it was time to head back to the office. Apple juice and oreos seemed like a good way to finish off her afternoon.
