the gifted

❝  i don’t know how much longer i can keep this up.  ❞

❝  just wait—  i can do this.  ❞

❝  it has to be me.  no one else can do this.  ❞

❝  i dunno why i can do these things.  i figure i might as well do something with them that matters.  ❞

❝  i must have these abilities for a reason right?  ❞

❝  i don’t believe in that destiny bullshit.  but i do know i shouldn’t waste what i’ve been given.  ❞

❝  why does everyone expect me to be a hero just because i have some powers i didn’t ask for?  ❞

❝  they’re mine.  i get to decide what to do with them.  ❞

❝  i’m still a person!  they all look at me like i’m some intangible being who will save them.  i’m just one person.  ❞

❝  i can’t do this on my own.  i need help.  ❞

❝  i’m okay—  it just tires me out sometimes.  ❞

❝  get back!  i could hurt you.  ❞

❝  i could’ve killed you!  ❞

❝  i’m sorry…i didn’t mean for any of this to happen. ❞

❝  i was only trying to help.  ❞

❝  i tried to stay out of it but…you don’t understand what it’s like to have the ability to make things different.  it’s impossible to sit back and do nothing.  ❞

❝  i did nothing before and people died.  ❞

❝  last time i tried to help i just made shit worse.  ❞

❝  i thought this was a gift but all i do is hurt people.  ❞

❝  i can help—  let me help.  ❞

❝  i don’t want this anymore.  i just wanna be normal.  ❞

❝  everyone always wants something from me.  ❞

❝  everyone wants things from me and i don’t mind—  i want to help.  but i’m just so tired.  ❞

❝  i know what i can do is special.  i just wish people would see more than what i can do for them. i wish they would see me. ❞

❝  this is really cool,  watch this!  ❞

❝  please don’t freak out.  ❞

❝  please say something if you keep staring at me like i grew a second head i’m gonna throw up.  ❞

❝  i don’t know what or who i am without this.  ❞

❝  if i didn’t have my gifts,  no one would care about me.  ❞

❝  i’m not a hero.  i can just do things and sometimes i wish i couldn’t.  ❞

❝  i know to other people it’s like,  comic book type shit.  to me it’s just normal.  it’s like being able to smell and hear.  it’s just part of me and i just want other people to see it like that too.  ❞

the observer

❝  you have to stop,  you’re killing yourself!  ❞

❝  that’s enough.  ❞

❝  you’re only making things worse.  ❞

❝  you need to rest.  you’ve done more than enough.  ❞

❝  we can take it from here.  ❞

❝  you did good.  now you need to recuperate.   ❞

❝  i hate to ask…but we could really use your help.  ❞

❝  i don’t need your help.  i don’t want it—  not from someone like you.  ❞

❝  you almost got yourself killed.  ❞

❝  you were out of control.  you almost killed me.  ❞

❝  no one else can do what you do.  we need you.  i need you.  ❞

❝  you’re not the only one here with power.  it doesn’t always have to be you.  ❞

❝  it’s okay,  you don’t have to do this alone.  ❞

❝  no,  sit back down.  you need to rest.  ❞

❝  you pushed yourself too hard.  you passed out,  i thought you were dead.  ❞

❝  holy shit— that was amazing?!  ❞

❝  it must be an awful burden to bear such gifts.  ❞

❝  just because you can,  doesn’t mean it should have to be you.  ❞

❝  look—  i get it.  it’s a lot of responsibility and everyone always wants something from you.  but you have these gifts.  and we don’t.  and it’s real shitty to hear you complaining about it while the rest of us are powerless every time someone we love gets hurt.  ❞

❝  i’m not here to ask you for anything.  i just wanted to make sure you’re okay.  ❞

❝  you’re always trying to save everyone.  who takes care of you?  ❞

❝  i’m taking care of you because no one else does.  ❞

❝  you have to slow down and take care of yourself too.  if you run yourself into the ground then you’re not gonna be helping anyone.  ❞

❝  don’t be a fucking martyr.  the world can function without you for a day.  ❞

❝  stop showing off.  ❞

❝  that was really stupid of you.  but thanks for helping.  ❞

❝  i care about you.  not your abilities.  ❞

Yuan’ head turned softly, “It needs a hard line power source at the moment. The devices used have a shut down after 5 minutes otherwise keeping the portal open for too long destabilises it and… well breaks it. it’ll take weeks for a new three to be created for a trip back”

She remembered seeing the the first few attempts when creating the monoliths and their testings.  Lots of dust, lots of broken rocks and a huge mess to clean up. 

“I can start the setup in the to-be concealed lab. The overview is simple but… i think you’d enjoy seeing the portal in operation before I explain…” she smiled because seeing the monoliths become liquid in it’s portal state the first time was always enjoyable. 

A nod from her.  “That makes sense.  I may not know what kind of power you’re using, but if it becomes unstable after a certain period it makes perfect sense.”  She knew that whatever it was hardwired into need to have a stable power source.  Which they certainly had in spades.

“The power is easy, stability, is a necessity.” nd from what she knew of Vibranium volatility and what Shuri was no doubt familiar, stablitty was most important. Of course, power stability was different thing but thy both knew the importance of it. 

Yuan nodded and followed behind the princess, taking the box with her in the process, vividly aware of the guard following  behind her but she didn’t overly care. 

She paused once to survey the room before placing the box down and opening it up and began to pull out the the three  monolith pieces in their own boxed to get the circular ‘basin’ that was at the bottom and folded up.

Yuan placed it on the floor, then began to open it up to it’s diameter of two meters and fixed on it’s metallic rim to keep the thing stable. None wanted a ‘spillage’. 

“SHIELD’s had many different priorities along side alien invasion, a nazi-hydra coop and subsequence international agency collapse.” SHIELD haven’t been able to do anything public for two years where the world thought they were long gone and before that, it had been primarily focused towards alien life and threats along those lines since the Chituari invasion. Barely any slack to be cut. SHIELD left those problems to the FBI, CIA and police to deal with those issues. 

Chen’s head tilted as he spoke, an eyebrow arching softly. Under her folder she pulled out the controls to tap mute; shutting off the sound frm escaping this room. 

“I have no interest to black mail you or to force you into working for SHIELD. The last thing I want is a media leak because it won’t just affect you.” She pointed out dryly, “My position here gives me all the power i need to get people like us out of tough situations like this. Officially, you have to go through system to be cleared. That’s all what this is about. “ Gesturing around. 

“I’m sure you can get a lawyer to get your ass off the grill and I’m sure you can handle yourself as you have done for years..” She flipped open the folder, exposing the faces of four of the five men, complete with a tattoo of their branded-group “These people are called the watchdogs. They’re an anti-gifted hate group with ties to a senator that fills their pockets with money, fancy new guns and weapons designed to kill people who are…different. That’s just in America.” Chen sighed out, “do you recognise these bullets thay had on them?” The next picture showed the silver judas bullets and loaded in a barrel, another pulled out for full view. “One of the people who came after you tonight escaped our custody. No doubt with a story that puts us to a further…complex situation. ”

Cage listened to reasoning as she discussed SHIELD’s priorities and their lack of action towards inner city issues. This was true, they were occupied, but with an organization so large and so deeply armed and skilled with the world’s best he still didn’t understand why their wasn’t more of an emphasis on the inner city corruption dating back before the Invasion. It wasn’t fair to put it all on SHIELD but clearly the police and the Fed’s aren’t doing enough.

She stated blackmail wasn’t on the table and he believed her. She spoke about wanting to help people like'us’ out of situations. That was interesting…did she possess special abilities…or know someone that did? What were her motivations in doing this?

Before Cage can speak his questions, a folder is brought before him.“ Watchdogs,” he repeated, studying the paperwork. The senator supplying these bigots was resources didn’t surprise him. He understood the deepness of corruption through his tenure as a police officer. Luke leaned in closer when she asked him if he recognized the bullets, his face said all what was needed to be said.

Testicles felt like they had sunk to the floor. These bullets were highly advanced…and lethal.“ Alright, this is bullshit. I gotta get this clown back in custody and we have to get these weapons off the streets.” Offering her a hand in partnership.“ How do you want to this? It’s your call, Chen.”

She did forget to mention that Hydra was the sort to thrive off chaos in the inner cities and had a hand in keeping it that way and keeping SHIELD away from the inside but her mind was the the other issues she had addresed.

Her hand rose, palm out to stop him from jumping the gun too soon. This was a serious issue and his face suggested he was sold. Any other SHIELD agent would have accepted his willingness straight away now he knew some of the stakes. 

Some. Not all.

“Before you agree to this, i need you to read through the small print of the deal. You know my agenda doesn’t run parallel with SHIELD and SHIELD expects you to follow their ideals. “Officially” and on paper, at least.” He had already guessed before she had other ideas to SHIELD but it was time to unravel them. “I do think...you should get your lawyer. If Mace or someone in a more powerful seat disagrees with SHIELD or myself in recruiting you, then you’re still in hot water. I doubt you could be fully taken out of hot water with the witnesses and victim that could testify to what they saw, your lawyer could get any punishment down to community service, to what your agreement here would be.” to clarify. He needed to cover all angles for protection. SHIELD was good, it had lawyers and all but if he had one in mind, it was his call he was legally allowed to make.
