This is also a story by me and Jason along with Tools (in case you didn't go and look at that.)

Pictures of each character appear in order they are introduced in.

Originally an RP on Flickr.

Somewhere thousands of light years away in space.

A blue streak of light is being chased through space by three other glowing streaks as well. Small meteorites are destroyed through their impacts, but the beams remain unimpeded. Eventually the streaks stop upon a nearby asteroid.

The blue light tells the other lights, "You guys are pretty persistent I see. Though its for good reason."

The first light yells at the blue light, "You know why we are here Axis! Give us the matrix!"

The second light then tells the newly dubbed 'Axis', "You don't want an end to your own life do you?"
(Axis is in the picture above)

The third light thought that Axis was insane by running! "You know not what you are doing!"

"Yes I do...." Axis then gets an idea. "And I'm not ready to meet my maker quite just yet." He then glows, before the asteroid they are all on explodes violently. He then flies away from the debris

At this point, the first light is annoyed by Axis. "Do you HONESTLY think you can escape us by blowing up a damned meteorite?! AFTER HIM!" The remaining lights give chase to Axis.

Meanwhile, on Earth...

"God damn it!" A man was running away from some muggers who are trying to kick his ass and well.....mug him

This was common for the man. It wasn't the same muggers every time, but every time he went to work, he wound up getting chased and attacked. Even when he took different routes to do so. It was as though most people he knew didn't like him. He managed to hop on a bus just in time.

"I win this time d-bags!" The bus drove off headed to a lab. It was around 4:00 pm. The professor at the lab can sometimes be random with when he calls his assistant.

Meanwhile, a girl was on the same exact bus after school. Her destination was the library where she worked. But she came handy, with a good book to read until she got there. The girl looked up from her book. She saw the man hop on the bus before going back to her book.

The girl was of light olive complexion. She had long, wavy black hair, and her eyes were amber, complemented by light-purple eye shadow flaring backwards. Her eyes were slightly tilted upwards at the ends, giving her a somewhat catlike appearance.

She wore a black ribbon tied in the form of a bow which she almost never takes off. She wore black low-heeled boots and stockings that start off black at her hips, but gradually fade to purple as they near her shoes. On the outside of her stockings, there are white emblems that are most likely belladonna flowers. She wore black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm.

She wore a black buttoned vest with coattails, and a white sleeveless undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that may be connected to her shirt, although it is partly obscured by the vest. Her shorts had a zipper on the front of each leg, but it is unknown if these zippers serve a purpose or are simply decorative. She also wore a detached scarf-like collar around her neck.

As he paid his fare and went to take a seat, he felt something pointy on his back from the guy he sat next to who had it concealed. "That wouldn't happen to be a spring from the chair would it?"

"Nope."

He handed him five dollars and went to take a different seat next to the girl, as it was the only other available one. That passenger wouldn't have noticed that dollar was Monopoly money until after the ride. Yes, he intentionally carried fake money for this purpose. That's how often this shit was.

The girl kept on reading her book, paying no heed to what just happened.

The man sighed. "Just my luck today." He got comfortable enough to fall asleep right where he was sitting.

The girl looked at the man, then went back to her book.

As he slept, some annoying teenagers get the camera's on their phones ready to take a picture as one of them tries to draw on his face with a permanent marker.

The girl looked up long enough to see what was happening. The raven-haired girl looked at the teenagers. "Guys, leave him alone."

One of the teenagers looks at the girl, like she was stupid. Telling him what to do? "Shut the fuck up bitch. I fuckin do whatever the fuck I fuckin want."

As he finished that sentence, an old lady beat him in the head with a purse. It was his mom. His friends laughed him off the bus. And a few more stops they all got off as well. Arthur woke up from the noise and realized that he was way past his stop.

"Fuck me! Driver stop!" The driver did so and the man ran off the bus and started sprinting as fast as he could all the way back to his stop.

The girl rolled her eyes at the man, as she got to her stop. She got off and went into the library to do her part-time job.

Thirty minutes later, the man finally makes it to the lab back at the university he also attended. There were cameras setup all over. He had forgotten that an interview was going on.

The professor shot his assistant a semi angry look, before putting on another smile in front of the reporters. "And this is my assistant, Arthur Adams. He was busy taking care of other errands for me."

The newly dubbed 'Arthur' awkwardly smiled and waved at the camera, thinking about how much this is gonna suck.

Back at the library...

The girl saw what time it was, and turned it onto the interview with the professor. She then saw Arthur on the news and immediately recognized him. "It's that guy from the bus..."

Besides reading books, she's always been fond of the news on TV, and interviews with professors and other academic people. And she did go sign up to go to his college a few months back, so you could say she's a fan of his work.

After taking his attention off of Arthur, the reporter continued to follow the professor through his lab with the film crew.

Arthur's phone rang and it turned out to be his friend Ali.

"Got your embarrassing moment recorded bro. Your welcome." Ali chuckled at that.

"Dude, not today."

Meanwhile...

The professor was too busy showing the reporters around to notice his assistant on the phone, potentially slacking off. "And this is the EM wave network generator. The latest and the future of electromagnetic technology and communications." He pointed to his invention at the end of his first sentence.

"Ah yes this is the device that can render all of today's communication and information technology obsolete correct?"

"Precisely. And it's also capable of so much more. It allows complete and total manipulation of electromagnetic energy and particles. Yes it's one big clunky and incomplete device now, but imagine a world where things like phones and computers are no longer needed. If you wanted to communicate with a friend across the planet or even local police or your favorite delivery shop, you could do so with a thought. You could pull up holographic screens from your skin or devices on your wrist, and access the full internet as you please. That's only the beginning. Even now the device can both receive and send messages at super luminal speeds by manipulating tachyon fiel-."

"Receive and transmit messages at super luminal speeds? So it's true that the device could theoretically communicate with life on other planets? What about that experiment around-"

"Oh for Christ sakes, it always comes to this! I'm an astrophysicist! I mention something about advanced information technology, and you assume I'm trying to speak to frickin aliens! You people don't know what your talking about! This is just like the Particle Hadron Collider! We decide to test the theory of relativity, and you assume we are trying to make a black hole to destroy the world!"

Arthur sighed, overhearing the two. Not like he couldn't have been able to not overhear them at the volume they were speaking at. "Great, they made him mad. Now I'm going to be working late."

The girl watched amazed at the TV. To be fair, she found the professor's inventions amazing, like most people that were interested in this kind of stuff.

A few hours later...

It was now 8:00 pm. The interview had ended around thirty minutes ago. Arthur was in his lab coat now ,and was cleaning the lab. Normally this would be the job for a janitor, but putting away things like volatile chemicals and cataloging materials were something janitors didn't know how to handle. He turned to the machine and notice the panel's keyboard was off. He went to go fix it, but upon doing so, he accidentally activated the machine which lit up brightly and was making loud humming noises.

"Oops." Suddenly, the panel began to say "Warning!" over and over. "Uh oh!"

""Uh oh" is right!" The professor was right behind him, and immediately deactivated his machine with a pulled plug. "The hell are you doing!? This isn't a comic book, you aren't going to get superpowers if that thing explodes in your face! Not unless you consider getting atomized a superpower! Sheesh. By the way you're going to be doing overtime. Unfortunately, I have business to attend to so I can't drive you home tonight."

"You're kidding right!? Do you know the crazy stuff that happens at night here?! I don't want to get stabbed, murdered, or raped!"

"They rape men too?" The professor sighed and shook his head. "....Don't answer that. I almost always forget your tendency to over exaggerate. Calm down, you'll be fine. Worst case scenario is that you'll get robbed. You don't have anything in your wallet worth taking anyway. Goodnight." He left after saying that, leaving Arthur by his self.

"Fuuuuck me."

The girl had finished up work a little bit after the interview had ended. Her boss decided to give her some books as a "thank you" for all the hard work, since she deserved it. She walked home as she passed the university.

Arthur spent the next three hours working and cleaning patiently, while lamenting his situation. He was typically an optimistic person, but even he had moods. He didn't hate his job, but it was occasionally monotonous. Every little while or so, he would pull out a small game system to ease boredom. After he was done, he decided to head home at 11:00 pm. He made no hesitation to rush. The sooner he got home, the sooner he could sleep.

By the time Arthur left work, the girl was already at home, and since tonight was "Bad Guy Marathon" night, she got dressed in a costume that looked all too identical to Catwoman's outfit, took Gambol Shroud, and climbed out the window to go after a bad guy.

Gambol Shroud was a weapon she had for quite a few years. It was a cross between a cleaver, a katana, and a pistol. Or, to be more precise, a Kusarigama.

Arthur had left the university already after the girl hopped out of her window and was walking to a bus stop, while drinking a soda. He left the place a little later, 'cause he took time to look through the lab's telescope. He always enjoyed admiring the stars and barring the cities lights blocking it was nice out tonight. He had one of these at home so it was unnecessary, but the chaotic and ironically chaotic beauty of the universe put him in a good mood always.

On his way to the bus stop, he couldn't help but wonder what he was going to eat tonight. Ali made sure pizza was always in the fridge, but he didn't want that. Maybe he would order Chinese or- his train of thought was completely halted by a right hook the face that sent his ass into a dumpster in an alleyway. He got punched in his face four or five more times before he could even get the time to register the situation. He looked at his assaulters as he got up, and saw that it was the three muggers from earlier that morning.

The first mugger seemed happy about this. "We win this time d-bag!" He kicked Arthur in the stomach, but he caught it and tried to punch back, only to get punched out some more. The other two muggers tackled him into a car where they beat his ass some more.

Our raven-haired Catwoman rip-off watched what happened from the shadows, but decided not to help, as she went to find where some other villains are at. Muggers were just first level threats to her.

Apparently these assholes were angry about Arthur giving them the slip earlier, because the beating they were giving him was unnecessary for a simple mugging. The other two muggers held him up by his arms while mugger 1 kicked him in the balls repeatedly. Arthur struggled and tried to break free and the muggers let him go and run right into a bitch slap that floored him. They proceeded to stomp him out savagely, occasionally kicking him in the head and stomping on his nuts. Arthur remained defiant however and hooked the muggers in their faces as he got up. But, they just whooped his ass back down.

When it seemed like they were done kicking his ass, Arthur didn't quit. He never quit when he had the option to keep fighting. He was very dizzy, but he summoned up immense willpower and with a mighty roar, he leapt up to strike the first.....only to get right hooked so hard, he spun twice in midair and was nearly knocked right the fuck out, and probably felt his teeth rattle.

"Night night mothafucka. Run his shit!" The other muggers were yelling "Damn!" at how hard their leader hit him. They proceeded to take his wallet out of his jacket and begin walking away. One of them kicked him in the nuts one time, just for good measure.

The girl heard what happened and decided to go after the muggers, feeling a bit bad for Arthur, as she jumped from out of the shadows, over the muggers, and landed in front of them. "Y'know, you three could've gotten a job and gotten money that way rather than steal from the man."

They looked at her, and then back at each other, and then back at her again. "The fuck you know we stole from him. How'd you know he didn't owe us?"

"Yeah. How'd you know he didn't owe us?" The second mugger seemed to be the stupidest one, and third one looked the ugliest. Their boss however, smelled like he hadn't bathed in weeks, like the only baths he ever took were ones using onions instead of soap.

"Assholes! I'm not done with you yet!" Arthur had gotten right back up somehow. The crooks were somewhat confused, considering the ass kicking he just got. Arthur ran at them full speed ahead with another, even more furious, roar and was then hit by a car moving at forty miles per hour. He flipped a full 720 degrees in the air before landing right back on his neck.

.......God just did not seem to like this man......

He didn't get back up after that...... he stared at the sky. This time, instead of seeing stars, he saw a bright blue light coming down at him. Maybe that was God coming to explain his dislike for him in person. The muggers laughed their asses off at the coincidence.

"You know what, I think he owes us more anyway for the mess. Take his shoes!" All three of them proceeded to walk over and take his shoes.......Just then a bright blue light pounded on where Arthur was, continually, where his scream could be heard. The three muggers were screaming for a brief period as well, because they were instantly vaporized by the bright blue beam of light that struck Arthur from the sky that was still pounding into him.

The raven-haired girl made a run for the shadows and she watched from behind cover, wanting to not get vaporized by the light.

Suddenly the blue light stopped raining down on Arthur. Why? Because Arthur was now glowing blue, as well as his eyes. He woke up as he somehow levitated 10 feet off of the ground. Technically, it was 20 feet, considering that there was now a crater in the ground with a blue energy aura that emanated off of him and traced his shape. He was now looking at his hands and body with his now opening eyes. His injuries were now all completely gone and even his clothes were fixed somehow.

"What the hell is going on!?" He noticed that his voice now sounded electronic, like as though it was coming out of a blown out speaker. After he looked at the backs of his hands, he shot blue lasers from them by accident and blew up a random car, as well as a dumpster. The blown up car flew towards him, and he held his hands out, and turned his head only to notice that yes, he caught the car in midair like it was weightless, and he dropped it in surprise. "Holy shit! Did I do that!? This. Is. AWESOME!!!!!"

He blasted off flying at high speeds, rivaling a fighter jet, leaving a shockwave as he did. He was too hyped to not notice what was left of the muggers, or that he was being quite loud. Mugger one's head had flown from the first explosion, and was mounted on a gate, burnt to a crisp. The others were reduced to ashes and were nothing, but maybe a few limbs laying around, one of which landed in front of the girl. Arthur was now flying around through the air unaided, as he had no real control that he understood, but it didn't seem to matter as he had accidentally smashed completely through the university building, completely unharmed and leaving anyone who saw it confused. Especially since he moved far to fast to be noticed or identified.

"Holy double shits! I'm invincible! No! I am a god!" He was merely spouting ridiculous claims and flying around chaotically, because he was far too hyped to notice or care. Reason being, he was in the middle of an incredible adrenaline rush.

The girl watched Arthur, surprised by what had just happened. "What the hell...?!"

"YEAAAAAHH WOOOOO!!!!!!!" Arthur shouted in excitement as he stopped zipping around the city and instead flew straight up into the sky....past the clouds....past the atmosphere.....into space..in seconds.

"Holy shit..." The girl watched him fly up, still surprised by what just happened.

As soon as he left the atmosphere of the Earth, he was still excited and screaming in pure hyped up excitement. And then.....he felt....a burning sensation in his chest....and it was growing in agony.....was he having a heart attack? No that couldn't be it....then he realized it at the last moment.......that even if he could fly, shoot lasers, smash solid steel and concrete like wet tissue paper........oxygen was a vital element to human survival that couldn't be replaced with adrenaline. He then passed out and fell all the way back to Earth and crash landed into another location in the city, and left a small crater where he did, as he remained unconscious.

The girl had saw him fall, as she was over where he was once the crater was made. She ran over to him to pick him up, but when she touched him, it burned her. Possibly, it's because the light around him burned her to the touch.

The light around his body slowly but surely died down. He remained unconscious however and from the looks of him, probably needed to be brought to a hospital.

The girl sighed and picked him up, as she began to take him to a hospital. This had been an...interesting night to the both of them. And to all the witnesses.
