…It was smooth sailing after the last guy was knocked out and cuffed. With the weapons seized, the bad guys in custody, and the hostages safe, the situation was cleared. Collateral included some bullet holes in the pavement and giant one down at the pier, but for the most part it was a flawless success on both Volt and Kagerou’s part. The officers all seemed a bit thankful, especially the SWAT members who didn’t need to face the bullet hose the other cops told them about. When the criminals were sent away, the many officers and onlookers around clapped for the heroes of LA.
Volt smiled at the thought, at being a hero and getting some recognition for it. She smiled to see that the city appreciated what they had done to keep the peace, although now it was time for them to depart. Volt looked up at the sun to see what time it was, it was still midday. Enough time to get back to Hazel before noon.
She then looked to Kagerou.
“Hey, want to go back to my place? She would want to see her auntie again.” Volt whispered to Kagerou.

When Kagerou heard the offer, she smiled. She looked to Volt and nodded.
“Defnitely!” She exclaims, then preparing her boosters. She checks her system then looks to Volt.
“Race you there?” She suggested.

Volt heard the proposition and looked up the nearest pole.
“…Go.” She suddenly says, then jumping her way up to the pole. Alternating her current to pull and using magnetism to pull herself closer to the wires so she could get on. She then alternated said current to be opposite to the wire’s magnetic field, so she practically floated above the wires.
From there she rode the wires, headed back to her own place. Once she loses the crowd of course.

[ Rolling D100 : Volt 53 vs Kagerou 96 ]
With boosters engaged and a free pass through the LA skies Kagerou got there first with Volt being not even remotely close. Powerlines didn’t provide a direct path Volt would argue, needing to run across rooftops to make up the distance, but it was all for fun and games so there was no use complaining.
The two agreed to enter the back alley behind Volt’s apartment to change back to their normal identities. Volt got there second, but she was already beginning her ‘transformation’ as others like to dramatically call it. She pulled down her facemask and took off her jacket, she flipped over the latter to reveal that once overturned it looked like any normal grey jacket. She put that on and, after a deep breath, she closed off her powers. Eyes going back to their hue of bright blue, lightning marks fading to reveal a normal Volt.

Kagerou flew into the alleyway first but she waited for her friend to get there first. From there it was a simple command.
“Suit, pack up~” She told it, and the suit responded immediately. Packing itself slowly and bit by bit into a compact form the size of a large laptop. Revealing the long black haired Japanese superhero and her rather casual get up.
“Transformation complete.” Said the computer aloud, Kageoru picked up the compact suit and looked to Volt.
“No fair, your costume is just a jacket!” She exclaimed jokingly.

“Not my fault.” Volt replied with a small smile. She looked around and found the back entrance to her apartment building. She opened it and looked to Kagerou.
“After you.” She told her friend.

“Hai!” Kagerou replied, then walking to the door. “Ojemaishimasu!” She said, then going inside the apartment complex. She already was racing up the nearby stairs. It wasn’t the first time she was here, and she was really excited to see Hazel.

Volt rolled her eyes and followed behind, closing the door behind her. She followed Kagerou up the stairs and headed towards her apartment which was on the second floor.
When she arrived, she pulled out her keys and opened the door for Kagerou.
“Get comfy. I’ll get Hazel from the neighbor.” She told Kagerou, then leaving for Mrs. Robinson’s room. However, she stopped right before she fully left and walked back.
“Oh, also here. Put this in the closet. Make sure you hide it.” She requested Kagerou as she removed her jacket and passed it to Kagerou. Then she made her way to Mrs. Robinson’s.
Kagerou was left alone for a short amount of time, allowing her to look around the rather small apartment. A quick scan for now shows that nothing seemed secret or out of the ordinary, but if Volt kept the secretive stuff in the closet who knows what other goods Kagerou might find?

It took a while for Sarah to reply, which made Victoria believe that she was thinking REALLY hard.
| Sarararah2000: MMMMMMM DO WE FINALLY GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT VOLT?? |
Victoria could not help but chuckle when what she predicted was true. She replied back.
| VTesla26: Your choice heh. I did say this was a personal mission. |
Now, will she take the bait? She waited, scrolling through the plan that she and Jake discussed. She scrolled up to refresh her memories.
| Jake41ification: For one, she has lightning powers. That in itself is a risk if it goes out of control. However how you detailed it, she looks to have control even at the start of the RP.
Maybe an accident then? Something catastrophic that made her feel like she would hurt others with her powers. |
| VTesla26: Possible. That would explain why she wouldn’t want to interact and work with others at first. How would that steer her into being a villain though? |
| Jake41ification: Well, it would be constricting and hard if we think too small. Traumatic, but not enough to warrant the villain perspective.
We need to go big. What if it’s a whole population was affected?
What if she was isolated because her powers had affected an entire city? |
| VTesla26: Like destroy the powergrid of a city? Cause things to shortcircuit? |
| Jake41ification: Too mild. Let’s push it even further.
What if it happened during the winter, and in a bad blizzard as well? |
| VTesla26: That would be problematic. And I could see several people dying to it. |
| Jake41ification: Exactly. It would also be pretty bad if then people pinned it on her, or maybe indirectly pinned it on her. |
| VTesla26: What if they called her a criminal for it? Or like made her feel really bad about it.
And maybe if she wanted to be a hero before that incident it might affect her even more. |
| Jake41ification: Possible! I think if you have her as this previously hopeful super power girl who then causes an accident and kills a lot of people. |
| VTesla26: And maybe then she forces herself into isolation when she realizes her power can harm and kill people.
And what if instead of a criminal she hears people calling her a monster and a freak? |
| Jake41ification: That could work.
I think we’re onto something. Let’s see if we can arrange this in a good way. I’ll input the stuff onto the sheet once we summed it up. |
Ping. Another notification, Victoria closed the chat box and looked to the thread again.
Sarararah2000 (7:15 PM)
Ohoho, she had free reign to poke around. It would be rude, but this was the famous Miss Electric after all! Not even Adi the German Magneto or Maeve Irish Demi-God knew anything about Volt. This could be an opportune time! She made an educated guess and went for the closet, seeing if she could find some stashed diary she could scan through.

Kagerou scanned through with her two naked eyes, going through Volt’s stuff as fast as she could. There was no such diary or journal that Volt kept, but there was an oddity in the closet full of plain clothing. Around the back, almost hidden from plain sight, was a jacket that seemed for the winter. It had some mismatched patchwork done to it.

Kagerou noted the jacket and decided to pull it out to get a better look. She wondered if this was a novelty or maybe something from Volt’s past!

Kagerou pulled out the jacket from its corner and finally she could see what it was. It seemed like a normal coat with a few patches of fabric sewn onto it, possibly to hide holes. Though, there was one thing that stood out. There was a Police Department badge on the chest, it was possible that what Kagerou was holding was an official police winter coat.
The fact that it was a winter coat should rule out the possibility of it being part of the LAPD, if not there was a badge attached to the chest area that clearly showed it was from the New York Police Department. What was a coat from the east coast doing all the way out here?

“Huh.” Kagerou examined the jacket. The NYPD badge gave a clear indication of its origins, but she wondered why. She checked the patches sewn onto the coat, maybe they were hiding things?

Kagerou was able to feel and notice that there were indeed patches hidden by what was sewn on. She probably would be able to make out more details if she had more time.
“Kagerou?” Whoops. Volt had arrived with Hazel in her arms, the six year old was fast asleep. No wonder she was able to sneak up on her.
“…What are you doing?” She asked, noticing that her friend was holding a familiar coat.

“Oh umm…” Kagerou tried to think of an explanation, though there was very little wiggle room in this situation. She was caught sneaking through her friend’s stuff, and she had something that could be of interest to her. She was a deer in the headlights.
“Umm…Gomenasai!” Kagerou bowed “I sort of looked through your closet. I thought I might find something…” She confessed.

Volt was a bit surprised by the sudden bowing and the brutal honesty. Volt looked at Kagerou then at the jacket, she then looked to the sleeping girl in her arms. She decided that priority was to settle Hazel on the bed.
After settling Hazel on the bed, Volt looked to Kagerou. She walked over and put a hand on her shoulder.
“…Raise your head.” She tells Kagerou.

Kageoru looked up, eyes pleading for mercy. “I’m deeply sorry Volchu.” She told her friend.

Volt flicked a finger at her friend’s forehead.
“Consider that a warning.” She says, then taking the jacket out of Kagerou’s hand. “Don’t just look through people’s belongings without permission.” She says, then walking over to the closet. She opens the closet and set the coat back in its place. Volt tucks it away behind all the other jackets before looking to Kagerou.
“…Hazel’s taking a nap. Might not wake up until the afternoon.” Volt tells Kagerou “So…Sadly no playing today.” She tells her friend.

“…Ah, soudesu.” Kagerou looked to Hazel who was asleep, then back to Volt who seemed a bit angry. Kagerou didn’t mean to intrude, she felt a foreigner in the space. Unwelcomed.
“Err…Volchu, I’m just going to take my leave since Hazeru is asleep…” She says “I’ll…see you around.”

| Sarararah2000: I AM SO SORRY VOLT HUHUHU. Did I make her mad??? |
Victoria scratched her head. She didn’t mean to scare off Kagerou or Sarah, but it went a bit overboard. She wanted to tell Sarah that it was fine and that she took the reply the wrong way, but the emotion the two felt from Volt was…justified. After all, with what her and Jake discussed, it was a sensitive topic for Volt.
Though…she had hoped Kagerou would at least ask about it, not just walk away.
| VTesla26: It’s fine. It’s just her backstory is a bit…heavy. |
Victoria replied, and after she checked the time. The sun was starting to set, painting the horizon in a light orange, and night slowly approached. Victoria thought about packing up and heading back home. Maybe starting the backstory at another time was a better plan. It was a start, but-
Ping.
She looked back at her laptop and thought it was Sarah or maybe Jake.
| TheGreatWolf99: Thread in an hour. You’re involved. |
That was ominous.
| VTesla26: What do you mean? |
She waited for a reply, but then nothing from Wolf. She had a bad feeling about this. She decided to check on Jake.
| VTesla26: Jake? You there? |
| Jake41ification: Yo. Did something happen? |
| VTesla26: Wolf just asked for a thread in an hour. He isn’t replying to my message.
Quote: ‘Thread in an hour. You’re involved.’ |
| Jake41ification: That sounds ominous, especially coming from an RPer like Wolf. This feels like his other character. |
| VTesla26: It does. Did he ask you anything? |
| Jake41ification: Nope, not yet at least.
Is this possibly because of Volt? |
| VTesla26: Most likely. What do you think he’s going to do? |
| Jake41ification: I have a few guesses. Not all of them great. |
Jake was right about one thing, the possible situations might be far from pleasant. Though, if it’s because Volt couldn’t change…Maybe he would stop bugging them if they showed development on Volt?
| VTesla26: I guess I’ll have to act fast then. Prove to him that we’re working on it. |
Victoria settled back down on her seat, she looked up and decided to reply to Kagerou for a start. There was a ping, possibly Jake replying to her message, but she ignored it now and focused on the task at hand.
