GenoShio

Run!
Thoughts flashed through his mind as he splits down the dark corridor. Sweating profusely as his eyes dart around for an escape route. Pipes stretch down the corridor as if there is no end. The corridor exit, seemed like miles away. The light is faint and it seemed like it took forever to reach it.
Run!
His mind screamed at him.He glances over his shoulder and he sees a figure dart past. His heart thumping, he tries to make a final burst to the exit. A sudden wail shrieks down the corridor. He spins around and in a split second, he sees, long flowing hair, and he hears a sound that he has not heard before. A wail. A scream. No...can't be. It can't be her...of all of those people...why her!? The fluorescent light tube burst into tiny shards and an array of sparks. The darkness overwhelmed the man. He is now trembling, his heart and adrenaline pumping like no other.He lets out a silent cry and starts running again. This time, he is running blind. The wailing echoed down the corridor. The man could not tell if she was close or near. The screaming vibrating throughout the entire corridor made the pipes rattle. He has heard stories of this woman. Like the old Irish folklore, just before a person dies, a spirit will come wailing. A banshee is what the Irish call it. The spirit, like Death, serve almost the same purpose. He knew it, he was going to die. All of a sudden, he smashes hard into a wall and drops down. The wailing stopped. The man slowed his breathing and listened into the deafening silence.

What is going to happen now? He listened. Slow clicking could be heard. Could be just the pipes he thought to himself. The clicking got louder. He panicked and thoughts begin flashing again. What is she going to do to me? Am I going to die? Is there anyway out of this mess? How can I undo this? What am I going to have for dinner? He lay down as still as possible and closed his eyes. For what seemed like forever, he opened his eyes. He got up and started slowly, groping blindly in the darkness. Where is the exit? Where is the light? Then suddenly he remembered. His lighter. He flicked it out and a small flame came to life. He let the lighter light his path and when he did, he wished he hadn't. There stood within 3 yards of him, was the banshee. A female figure, jet black hair covered her face. She let out an ear-piercing scream and lunged forward, and he blacked out.

Oediv City, GenoShio
28. 05. 06

The city. A hustle and bustle place. Traffic, smog and enough carbon dioxide to kill the world. GenoShio is not a city to be reckoned with. People who walk the streets of the city wear face masks to keep themselves from passing out after breathing in carbon dioxide. Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd walks 3 unusual characters. A female dressed in a full white power suit, another female in black and a towering man dressed in a rather casual biker style walking at the same pace. They looked like corporate executives. They walk on and on thru the crowd, the traffic and soon they have almost reached the outskirts of the manic city area. This outskirts, the air is cleaner, no smog, hardly any traffic and much less people. They have left the tall buildings behind and they are now seeing townshops and townhouses. They reach a rather shabby house and entered it. The doors were faulty and reuqired the tall man to open it with brute force.

"You know what? I really think we should just BREAK this door and get a new one. What do you think eh?" said the tall man. "No Cal, no need for all that buying new stuff, it's 'the' perfect door." quiped the black suited lady. "Keep it down you two, I'm activating the voice recognition lock." the white dressed lady said as she tapped on the wall. A glow emerged and as she inches towards it, "Here we go..." said Cal and covered his ears, the black dressed lady plugged her ears with her fingers and squinted away, and the white dressed lady sang.
A hatch hissed open from the ground and lights turned on inside it. "There has got to be a better way to lock this door. Can't we just use a Solex padlock? It's much simpler you know? Cheaper too." said Cal.
As they entered deeper down the stairs they reach another door but this door has a red glowing eye in the middle. "This time, I'm doing it ok?" chipped Cal and looks straight into the eye. The doors clank open like a massive vault and the 3 walked in. Beyond the door was a huge area scattered with massive screens and techno mumbo jumbo. "Oh look who's home already, SIRYN!" shouts the black dressed lady. A figure moves inside the infirmary, motioning towards the door. As it hissed open stepped out a lady with jet black hair. "Hey guys, I caught this punk trying to kill someone, I dropped him off at the GSPD. I have tapped into the station's cameras and now we can watch him get interrogated, LIVE! MUAHAHAHA!" guffawed Siryn.

"And how did you exactly catch him?"
"I wailed and screamed...I think."
"Eve...how many times must I tell you, can you not use your powers to take out a human being? It's going to give us a bad rep, and plus, you sound like a banshee. You're going to scare them all to death."
"But I like my powers..they're fun... ."

Cal, who has been staring at the computer screen for the longest time suddenly blurted out, " GUYS! CHECK THIS OUT! Serebro has found a new mutant! The locator showed him on Geno and next thing you know, he is in France! And now, he is like....he is walking right past the front gates! I'll get him!!". Before anyone could react, he has rushed out the doors like a madman. Everyone else just stood and stared at the screen as they watched 1 blip moving rather slowly and 1 very fast moving blip running out of the center of the screen. The 2 blips connected and then a faint cry could be heard from the open doors. The ladies heard footsteps banging down the steel steps and thudding on the concrete flooring and then appeared Cal with a very familiar looking person, unconcious, on his shoulders. "Hah! He didn't even put up a fight!"

"Cal, when you hit someone, I don't think that person can even wake up to fight back."
"How true..oh well."
"Lie him down in the infirmary, Betsy will take care of him."
"He feels like a ragdoll..is he dead?"
"Garrison.."
"...Kane."
"Cal, whatever. Just put put him there and I will tell you later if he's dead or not. Now get out."

-Area unknown-

It's pitch black. He can't see anything, he is breathing loudly. His heart beating like a drum. He groped in the darkness and felt nothing. One step, two steps, still nothing. Then, he heard a voice calling.."...this way..." He whirls around and still sees nothing. But that voice, where is it coming from? "...this way..." came the voice again. He followed the sound suddenly a door opened and he ran towards it...

================================================================

Okay, so thats it for Chapter 2. You know who is Siryn and who Cal plays in S-Men. The white lady is still anonymous and Betsy is...I think you all know who Betsy is. Who got caught? Hahaha, it's rather obvious right?

Next chapter: S-Men recruits new members.
