Running from the Cops (Richard)

[Calista Bryant]

Calista was wearing the usual black outfit. She had on some black shorts and a black top with a black jacket. Her blond hair was down and it had light red streaks in. And she had black eyeshadow all around her eyes. Today started out pretty usual she was going to do a small little bank robery but one of those bank tellers managed to call the police and now she was running.

Calista ran down an alley way she heard the sirens loud and clear they were right behind her. "Oh God!" she said to herself. As soon as she turned into the Alley way the cops passed right by and she stood up against the red brick wall. Calista stood there all calm until she started to hear footsteps she looked around her to see who was comming.

[Richard Matthews]

Hearing sirens Richard would usually go in the opposite direction, away from the trouble. But something made him do the opposite, curiosity making him want to see what or who they where after. He had been analyzing some documents in a local coffee shop, finalizing some plans when he heard them. Putting down his black cofee he looked at the T.V when the *Urgent breakthrough* came on talking about a villain who had just tried to rob one of the cities banks.
Chuckling quietly he stood up, leaving out into the street.

Following the vague sound of sirens he trailed after a cop car, late to the scene. When it zoomed along past an alley though he smirked, the police could be so stupid. Dressed as per usual in one of his many casual suits, Richard ducked into the alley, scowling at the filth. It was then he saw the woman and smirked "Its not that clever to be trying to rob a bank on your own you know" stepping closer he Annalised her. Wondering if she was one of the genetically mutated, if she was really worth his time. "You need a few people to successfully pull that one off"

[Calista Bryant]

Calista was looking at the alley way when she saw a man coming then soon he spoke "I wasn't alone." she said stepping away from the wall to look at him. In a sense Calista was never really alone she always had herself to keep her company. "And I had more than a few people." she said. She bothered her that she actually let a bank teller get to a phone, she was never going to let this escape her mind. But why was this guy in an alley way anyways.

"You know it's not so wise to go into an alley way alone, you never know what could happen." she said looking at him. She didn't trust this guy he seemed way to suspicious for her tastes.

[Richard Matthews]

Avoiding the trash that littered the alley as he stepped closer ,Richard scoffed "Not alone huh? At least you are not too dumb brained then. So then where are the others?" he said raising his arms to signal he saw nobody else there. But she seemed to have spark, an attitude, that he liked.

She didn't seem to realize who he was ,which could or could not mean she wasn't changed after all. Still curios to find out he pushed further. "Is that a threat? Because trust me, im never alone either" he grinned menacingly, knowing that a car full of his main body guards was waiting not too far away. A man like him too wanted to go out alone, he just liked to act like he was. Life was no fun if you had a group of men, constantly at your side. "So whats your big plan now then? How are you going to escape? I'm intrigued."

[Calista Bryant]

She nodded her head telling him she wasn't alone "I'm never alone." she said bluntly. So then where are the others? he asked. Calista laughed and pointed to herself "I am the others."she said.

Calista really didn't know who this guy was. "I believe that is a threat. So is that a threat on your part?" she asked with one eyebrow raised. She always counted on herself and the feeling that she would never be outnumbered felt good. She never needed a body guard and if she did she didn't have to hire stupid idiots that cant think for themselves to do the job. "My big plan." she said. she brought her finger to her chin and think. "Well first of all you're in my way, so I guess i would have to kill you." she said taking a step towards the man.

[Richard Matthews]

When the girl laughed and pointed at herself Richard had to refrain from laughing himself. It looked like a scene from a good old fashioned horror film, right before some kind of demon ripped free from the poor girls possessed body. But it did show promise towards his genetically changed idea, what was she some kind of morpher?

"That isnt a threat on my part, thats a promise" Richard smiled raising an eyebrow. "Your going to have to kill me? Thats rather harsh" grinning as she stepped forward he did the same. She had this crazy evil streak to her that he was rather enjoying. "And here I was about to offer you a ride away from here, away from the police. Sometimes I wonder why I bother" pulling the sleeves of his suit up he grinned, waiting to see what would happen.

[Calista Bryant]

Calista eyed the guy it didn't look like he believed her. Calista now wondered if he was one of those people who changed into those super humans, she would have to figure that out later.

"Well lets just see if you can keep that promise." she said looking at him. She listened listened as he said that her killing him would harsh. Then he spoke about offering her a ride, that was rather hard for her to decline seeing as she was in trouble. She crossed her arms "And what makes you think I would take a ride from you?" She said looking at him.

[Richard Matthews]

Richard smirked liking the look of suspicion in her eyes, it showed she was smart enough to not follow any randomer to the grave. "Im a man of my word" he said, sleeves still up in case things got a little dirty.

"I think you should take a ride with me because A) I can smuggle you out of this godforsaken mess you got yourself into. All out of the goodness of my heart by the way and B) If you are what I think you are, I can help you a great deal more that smuggling you out a back alley, I can give you a once in a life time opportunity" Smirking he pulled out a cigarette, letting it hang from his lips unlit. "Or you could kill me now, not knowing what it would be like to take a chance. Probably getting arrested before the hour is out. Your choice" Pulling out a zippo he lit the cigarette Inhaling deeply.

[Calista Bryant]

"A man of your word, i dont know." she said.

"Well then where is this ride of yours. I so no car or any means of transportation to get me out of my little situation she said." She paused "I guess I could let you live. But out of curiosity what do you think I am." she said. This gave her the hint that he was one of those people that had super powers so there was no need to ask that question.

[Richard Matthews]

"Trust me. I may not be a nice man, but when I say I will do something I will." Taking a drag of the cigarette he looked at her, wondering weather or not to see how far he could push her. Deciding against it he pulled his mobile out of the suit pocket, flicking it open and dialing a number. "You can pick me up now" he simply ordered putting the phone back into his pocket swiftly "It's coming so don't worry "

Listening to her apparent generosity he had to refrain from laughing, finding it terribly amusing that she figured his life was in her hands. "I think you are one of the genetic experiments, like myself. A also think that you have chosen, what I like to say the more fun side of life. Out of curiosity for myself though what powers do you have?" with that a black Mercedes sped through the alley, stopping just next to where they stood. Two men sitting up front, one a driver and the other a guard. "Now come on, the stench of this place is destroying my nose" he moaned, holding the back car door open for her to enter.

[Calista Bryant]

Calista just nodded. Then she watched him pull out a phone and told someone to pick him up, she took this that that was the car he was talking about.

"Well it just so happens that you thought right." Calista smiled "Yes I guess I have joined the more fun side of life. I have super speed and I can duplicate myself I can make 20 or more of me if I wanted to." Calista watched the black Mercedes pull up Calista got in the car and looked at the guy "My name is Calista by the way. Now what powers do you have then." she said now curious as well since he admitted he was a genetic experiment.

[Richard Matthews]

Listening to her talk about her powers Richard grinned, now that sounded like a useful power if he ever heard one. Getting her previous comments on not being alone his grin widened, very usefull indeed. "So you have full control of each 'copy' of yourself? And they are all fully strong?" he asked, doing the usual of getting straight to business.

As soon as she entered the car he got in after her, slamming the car door. "Take us for a spin" he told the driver, leaning back into the leather as the car sped out of the alley. Driving calmly past some patrolling police cars. It wasn't the best location but the car was going to have to be where their little meeting went on. Holding out a hand he smiled politely "Richard and super speed, agility and senses. So yes you probably could have killed me in that alley" laughing slightly as he looked out the window he then shrugged wanting to get straight into business.

"Im not great for fighting, but thats not how I help the 'cause'. I...plan things and so far I have quite the little following of villains such as yourself. Lets just say I put the brains to their brawn hmm, and I think you would be perfect to join us, that is if you want to of course. I like to think of a deal with me being a sort of Investment, you get out what you put in. A share in whatever plan you help me do, a helping hand toward whatever you yourself want to do, and of course the chance to get even with the 'good' side. You can quit whenever too, and Im not a rule making tyrant, so all in all its a pretty dam good deal if I say so myself" spouting off the usual lines that he told every new recruit he smiled as charmingly as possible, sure he was doing her a favor by asking her to join him, but being nice about things never hurt.

[Calista Bryant]

Calista listened to him ask his questions. The questions were pretty natural, she heard them every time someone asked about her powers. "You are correct. I have full control of every copy and they are all fully strong." Calista said emphasizing the words every and all.

She to leaned against the black leather of the car. Calista looked out the window and watched the patrol cars patrolling, probably looking for her still. Calista brought her attention back to him she looked at his hand then she took it and let it go and she placed her hand back on her lap. "Well it's nice to meet you. It sounds like you have some pretty good powers yourself." she said with a smile of her own. Calista let out a small laugh at his last comment.

Calista nodded as Richard seemed to be stating the basics of how things worked. "Well from so far what you said sounds pretty good." she said with a small nod of her head. "Okay so if I decided to join to help this 'cause' I know i would be enjoying the chance to get even with the good side. but what exactly is this 'cause' like is there any big plan or something?" she asked sort of hinting that she was going to join she just wanted to know what this whole thing was about.

[Richard Matthews]

Richard smiled as she contemplated the offer, knowing full well that she must know how good it was. He was basically offering her power and money on a plate, only a fool would turn that down. "There are many peoples views on the 'cause' as each and everyone of them has different priorities. My view on it though, would have to be getting rid of all the goody fools, leaving us to ransack the city. Because lets face it, they are our only real threat"

looking back out the window he opened it a crack, enjoying the feel of the breeze. "I am trying to get every villain I can joined up, strength in numbers and so forth. We have a advantage over the others, we don't care what or who gets damaged in the way of winning. They on the other hand have that as a disability." Turning back to Calista he smiled "So feel like joining us?"

[Calista Bryant]

Calista listened as he said what his views were on this whole thing. This whole thing sounded really good to her, she would be able to make this whole city appear in a panic and she could cause diasater, something which she always loved to do. "they are our only threat." she said as she thought quickly there was really no need to think she knew her answer already.

Calista nodded "Well on this note. Of course i'll join." she said with a smile on her face. "So out of curiosity again, how many followers do you have so far?" she asked filled with intrest.
