Things Out of Nightmares
A night out at a club was a preemptive move on Anya's part. She didn't need hear her two keepers nagging her about not getting out and not having a social life, so she arranged a night out at a club for anyone who wanted to come along. She had even sent a text to Prince Dork to let him know the X-kids were invited. It was an 18+ club even though Anya and Toni weren't technically 18 yet. Fake IDs were wonderful things.

The punk and alternative music was loud and Anya could barely hear herself think. She had picked CBGB because of the music. She was feeling energetic and good and the music had to suit her mood. The place looked like a graffiti paradise and was a total dive. It was absolutely perfect for her mood.

She practically bounced up to the bar to get a soda.

Its a rare and unusual thing, having to get more dressed than normal to go to a club. Still, Iason has been out enough to settle in a bit better, and much quicker this time, even if its a bit different kind of club, at least once he re-adapted his heightened senses a bit to better deal with the noise level.
He doesn't even think to get a drink, just finding the small group a table and settling back, watching the dance floor intently to learn some of the moves appropriate to this type of clubbing.

Sammy didn't kick back much, but when she did she went all out for it. Once Iason located a table, she slipped off her overshirt and draped it over a seat, then made her way to the dance floor. She wasn't armed in the traditional way tonight. The tight, low cut tank top tucked into equally tight jeans wouldn't have been enough to hide her side arm. A knife tucked into her boot was her only weapon.

On the dance floor she was lost to casual sight as she joined the freeform dancing press of bodies.

	As Anya waits at the bar for her drink, a male voice nearby speaks up, an exotic accent in his tone. "May I buy you a drink?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-17 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure," she said and turned to see who had spoken. An image straight from her nightmares greeted her. Her eyes went wide and the breath caught in her chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Temujin smiles at her. "Come along quietly. You don't want to let the others around here get hurt, do you?" Thin bolts of arcane energy crackle across his hand as he gestures towards the back door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-17 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Go to hell!" she hissed. "I'm not going anywhere with you." She looked around for Sammy, Iason, anyone that could help her. She didn't see anyone she knew in the mass of people around her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sighs. "The hard way, then." He reaches for her arm, letting lightning course through his body thanks to one of his rings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-17 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	She jerked back, but not in time to keep his hand from brushing her arm. She felt the jolt of electricity run up her arm and her whole body began to tingle. Any more contact and the nanites inside of her would be fried and she'd be paralyzed. "Leave me alone!" she yelled and tried backing up only to run into a very large man.

	"You chose this," he points out, unleashing a storm of cold at her, hoping to freeze her in place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She had nowhere to go and the cold descended upon her. It felt like she had just jumped into a frozen lake in the middle of winter. She started shivering. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It quickly occurred to Toni (who has only consuming nonalcoholic drinks this time out), that she had rather suddenly lost track of Anya in the press of people.

That was always bad news. She scanned the crowd, quickly looking for signs of her friend.

There, just barely over the noise of the club, could she hear the scream. Which way...? There.

She ran toward the source.

Taking a breather to go to the bar for a bottle of water, Sammy noticed the disturbance as she waited in the three deep crowd clamoring for drinks. About to dismiss it, she saw the cap of red hair and thought it looked very familiar.

Then a scream she could have sworn was part of the music. Unable to think with the pounding beat, she stopped time to take a closer look.

Seconds later for her, she was pulled Anya out of the way in the direction of their table and the others, and time resumed.

	Fuck subtle. Within half a second of Temujin's time returning to normal, not only is Anya not there, but someone else is. Someone much larger. Someone hovering six inches off the ground. Someone who's eyes are burning with cosmic energy. Iason's shirt is burning off as heat radiates out from his form. "We haven't met." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-18 06:40 am UTC (link)
	Toni came up behind Iason. "You're about to get your ass kicked six-ways to Sunday," she told Anya's attacker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_baddie 2009-06-18 07:08 am UTC (link)
	He wasn't expecting additional resistance. "I am Temujin. And you two..." He fires a blast of concussive force from another ring towards both his opponents. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-06-18 07:25 am UTC (link)
	He can't let the blast hit the bystanders. Not a type of energy he can just ignore, so Iason grits his teeth and takes the impact, barely moved. "I am Iason of the Eternals. Allow me to demonstrate." He has his father's eyes... or eyebeams, as it were. Focusing on concussive force, he returns a like blast at Temujin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Toni had to dodge out of the way of the blast, mentally commanding a table that had been behind her to tip over and take the brunt of the bolt, shielding any by-standers from damage.

Now, she got back to her feet, eyes flashing with angry. "I am going to kick your ass so hard your dad is going to feel it."

Around and behind her, glasses, tables, and chairs were starting to rise up off the floor and hover in the air. With a wave of her hand, she sent a table spinning toward the would-be Mandarin like Captain America throwing his mighty shield. With a wave of her other hand, a half dozen glasses shot forward like they were being fired from a cannon.

Temujin staggers from Iason's blast, then deflects the table with one arm, and blasts the shotglasses, sending shards of glass everywhere.

"I doubt that," he tells Toni. "But I wasn't expecting backup quite so quickly..."

Around him, dozens of the people fleeing for the exit shimmer and suddenly look like Temujin, even as he leaps into a crowd of them, trying to mix himself in among the identical fleeing citizens.

	By the time Iason shifts his senses to look for energy signatures, Temujin is well mixed in with the crowd. Not risking taking a shot, he moves towards Anya and Sammy instead. "He's running." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-21 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"Dammit!" Toni swore, but she couldn't find Temujin, not with all the copies running around. Instead, she followed after Iason, to make certain Anya was safe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-21 04:46 am UTC (link)
	"Temujin," Toni explained quickly. "Second generation Mandarin. He... hurt Anya before. Messed her up." Anger flashed in her dark eyes. She hadn't been there to help Anya that time, and now she'd let the bastard get away... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He frowns, glancing towards the crowd again, then he nods. "We'll get him next time." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	One second she was facing one of her nightmares and the next she wasn't. Confused and VERY cold, Anya blinked. "Wh..wha..what happened?" She wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to warm herself up. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-18 06:14 am UTC (link)
	Sammy kept her moving, pushing her toward the table. She snatched up the overshirt she'd left at her seat and put it over Anya's shoulders. It wasn't much, but any little bit would help now. "Don't move out of my reach." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-18 06:28 am UTC (link)
	"So cold," she said between chattering teeth. "We should get out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-18 07:05 am UTC (link)
	She put an arm around Anya and drew her closer to share body heat. "I need to find Toni and Iason. Think you can manage with me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can," she assured Sammy. "I won't let you out of arm's reach." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Before they could go back into the melee to look for Iason and Toni, objects around them started flying toward the bar. "Oh crap!" Sammy ducked down, pulling Anya with her. "As soon as they stop, we grab them and get out of here!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-19 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"They're not going to stop," Anya said as she ducked down with Sammy. "Lets make a dash over there to grab them and get the hell out of here. We don't need to be destroying the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-19 05:53 am UTC (link)
	Sammy nodded as a glass zinged over their heads. "Don't let go of me. I want to be sure and take you with me if I have to stop time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lead the way," Anya said and grabbed Sammy's hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Catching up to Toni and Iason, Sammy pulled Anya to the center of the group. "We have to get out of here unseen. He could be out there waiting." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-21 05:41 am UTC (link)
	"Out the back," Anya said. She honestly didn't think Temujin would try something now, but it never hurt to be a little cautious. "We can easily slip out now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-21 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Sooner or later, it was going to sink in that she'd used her powers. But for right now, Toni was still to pissed to think about it. "Let's move then, before the media vultures descend!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
