Chatterbox: Inkwell

Lily fidgeted with her necklace, not meeting her father's eyes. He scooted his chair closer and began to talk.

"I know what you want Lily. I can see it in your eyes. I'm afraid that there's nothing I can do. The world has no place for us now. There's a reason they cast us out years ago," Mr. Thomas said.

"Oh, and what reason was that?" Lily asked, "We saved their helpless butts, and they ban us from existing? What kind of a stupid thank you is that?"

"It's more complicated than that complicated, Lily-"

"Sure doesn't look like it. How can you defend them? You were part of the FREAKIN' EVERFORCE!"

"Look, I'm not sure if you understand the gravity of this situation. You could get killed for this kind of behavior."

"Well it was either I walk away, or he gets mugged, and wasn't about to ignore someone who needed me!"

"You could have at least TRIED not to use your powers! You're extremely lucky I was there to stop you from murdering those men!"

"HE WAS GOING TO DIE! They have knives, those men! I SAVED THAT BOY'S LIFE!"

"YOU BROKE THE LAW WHILE DOING SO, LILY! THE PEOPLE FEAR US! AND FOR GOOD REASON! DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO THOSE MEN?" Mr. Thomas yelled.

"I sure taught them not to mug people! They'll live. You know as well as I do the things I grow shrink back down eventually!" Lily protested.

"YOU CAN'T JUST WHIP OUT YOUR POWERS AT ANY MOMENT SOMEONE IS IN DANGER!" Mr. Thomas scolded, shaking from silent tears, "I... I can't lose you how I lost Mom..." Lily looked shocked. Her father rarely ever mentioned Mom's death. Not speaking a word, she put her hand over her father's and there they sat for a while, until Mr. Thomas wiped his eyes and got up from the kitchen table to walk to his bedroom. Lily got up too, it was well after 11:00 O'clock. On her was to the other bedroom in the small Thomas residence, she stopped by the small window in the apartment wall. 

It was hard looking at California City the same after knowing that her father had once saved it from destruction. No. It wasn't her father who saved it. Mr. Pinstripe saved it. Whenever he father worked under his alias with the Everforce, he was a dfferent person. He was more alive. When her father was Mr. Pinstripe, he was truly himself. The SCB took that away from him when they threw Supers away like a rotten apple. A car flew past the window, and Lily blinked a couple times, snapping out of her funk. 

When Lily entered her bedroom, she did not expect a letter to be sitting on her bed. Curious, she picked the letter up, and read the front. Her hands began to shake. This is what the front read:

To Ms. Lily Thomas, From Gordon Steep, The New Leader of the Everforce

She tore open the letter as fast as she could, and read the note. She immediately got up off of her bed, and grabbed the backpack hanging from her door. She had to get to the roof.

When she got to the roof of her apartment complex, there was a hooded figure waiting for her. The wind blew wildly at the high elevation, and the lights of California City glowed beneath her. Cars flew by, but none of the drivers seemed to think it strange that a 17-year-old girl was staning on the roof of an apartment building alone with a hooded figure.

"Come," said the figure, "You will meet the others shortly."

So if you didn't figure it out alread, this is a RP about superheroes. I know I said I would reboot one of my old threads, but I have a really good feeling about this one. Basically, in future America, California City is the second biggest gathering of buildings and people in the world. In this world, there used to be people known as Supers who had special powers. Most of these people chose to live like regualr people, but others chose to use their powers to take advantage of people. These people would sometimes level entire cities with civilians helpless to stop them. To stop these threats, other Supers rose to defeat them. These Supers were known as heroes, and were in high regard of society. There was a specific team known as the Everforce, 7 people based in California City who came from all over the world to defend the Earth from the evil supers. But then the team had a disagreement. Password: Supers. Some of the members wanted to lead normal lives, but the others knew they would be needed to keep the world a safe place. The team began to fight, and destroyed many cities and lives, fighting within themselves. Then a government branch called the SCI (Super Control Branch) decided enough was enough, and banned supers from public existence. That meant if anyone used their powers within the public eye, the government had every right to kill them. This caused the supers to go into hiding. THe ones who didn't were killed mercilessly. The original seven members were:

1. Samuel Thomas (AKA Mr. Pinstripe), a man from California City who had the power to flip the gravitational feild of any object.

2. Aisha Mayanni (AKA The Gardener), a woman from India who had the power to manipulate and communicate plant life.

3. Fredrik Steep (AKA Lightbeam), the leader of the team, and a good freind of Samuel. He had the power to momentarily turn himself into light.

4. Phineus Alanis (AKA Olympian), a man from Greece who had nearly impenatrible skin and could grow to massive sizes.

5-7: I want you guys to come up with these. Remember to make them from other countires and that your charries are their decendants.

SUPERPOWER RULES:

1. Make it as original as you can. So no super strength, or flying, or super strong shields or whatever. Make them unique.

2. They will be different from their parents' powers. For example, Mr. Pinstripe has the power to flip gravity, but his daughter Lily (my charrie) has the power to rapidly grow organic material in any way she chooses.

3. NO OP POWERS. No instant-kill or create matter or infinite regeneration or any of that junk.

CHARRIE RULES:

1. Make them relatively young, in between 15 and 20.

2. DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS. I need as much as possible. 

3. Even though powers are important, remember superheroes are people too. They still have fights with their parents,they still get scared, and they still get lonely.
