End of the Line Club

Kale followed Galv and Jack, raising a brow at the older human....Well as long as he was friends with Galv's family he supposed it could hurt to follow....

"I hope Castor can see us, I hear he's the only way to get to talk to Zeus"

[...]

"So little one, do you have a question for Zeus?" Gem asked, leading the girl through the crowd and in a large glass elevator. Melanie looked up at the woman, a bit confused.

"Who's Zeus?" she asked

"He is the reason many of these people are here. Hundreds come daily to speak with him...Zeus knows everything so people come from around the Galaxy to ask him questions...What they should do, where they should go, even where someone important is."

Melanie perked up a bit at that. She had been thinking about something lately...Something she hadn't even told Galv (because she was sure if she did he would tell her no and probably warn her mother). "Do you think I could speak with him?"

Gem, still looking forward gave only a slight movement which could be considered a shrug "Perhaps, but you will have to convince Castor that you're worth Zeus' time"

Melanie frowned "....Oh....How do I do that?"

"Impress him, you look like a special child. Showiness goes a lot further than money with a man like him"

The woman looked down at Melanie's hands, but then back up again. Melanie blinked and the elevator came to a halt. The small teenager found herself rushing after Gem as she walked out and headed to a very large lounge area, full of white couches and a important people.

"Castor, you have another patron"


The Heart of Gold

Amy groaned and rolled her eyes "You aren't supposed to make time fr lightening up, you're just supposed to do it!" she exclaimed. "Men are soooo complicated"

Orion

Kanna in fact made it before the ship left, just so we can see Kanna and Claire-Kanna fight later....

Nourasia

"So what! Dancing is about having fun! How many more opportunities like this are we really gonna get!"

She grabbed his arm and (careful not to spill her drink) pulled him on the dancefloor. A familiar tune started to play, not quite fit for the dancing Jordan probably had in mind but fun none-the-less.

"One of these days we have to introduce Nourasia to Earth music." Molly told the boy with a laugh

Still dancing on the railing, Castor paused as Gem appeared with a young girl at her side. The audaciously dressed man jumped down and looked to Gem and Melanie with a large grin.

“Ah, Gem! Fantastic to see you darling! So this is the patron, is it? Hello young one. My name is Castor.”

He flashed a white grin and gave a sweeping bow to Melanie. It was flashy and dramatic – like everything Castor did.

“So... you want to speak to Zeus, do you? Hmmm... but now, not just anyone can talk to the man who knows everything. So tell me little one... why is it worth the big man's time to speak to you, hmm?”

[The Heart Of Gold]

“Hahaha... no, Amy. Men are the exact opposite of complicated... they're simple. Far too simple for their own good.” Luna grinned. “... Well, every now and then you find someone like Gerald, who is the exception...”

[Nourasia]

Jordan shrugged and he... attempted to dance. Jordan was a soldier, and a gunner. He was good at blowing things up; but dancing? That just wasn't his strong suit.

“I suppose they do have some good music on this planet. And aliens always have had the best music.”

End of the Line Club

Melanie had only known Castor for about five seconds and she already knew he was a bit...wacky to say the least. Either way she wanted to meet this Zeus guy so she stepped forward and brought her hand up a bit. The room suddenly went very cold and her palm was consumed in a dark hue.

Last year she did now know how to control the temperature in such a broad area, but thanks to some training with Galv she had mastered it. Melanie wasn't sure if that would impress such a unique man but it was all that she had to make her special.

Gem raised a brow, before turning to get a few drinks. She had a feeling Melanie would be sticking around...At least for a bit.

Nourasia

Molly laughed, "You would like the music here. I much prefer something a bit more electronic!"

She would have fun at the End of the Line club wouldn't she?

"You get to dance a lot closer with that kind of music!"

-End of the Line Club-

Galv paused, shuddering. It grew colder for a couple seconds...Melanie! She might be in danger!

Galv pushed forward suddenly, moving past Harkness and running towards where he felt the cold from.

Harkness darted forward, grabbing Galv before he started shocking people out of his way.

“You're loyalty to your girlfriend is admirable kid, but you gotta loosen up. She's fine,” Harkness said, seeing over the crowd. Melanie had demonstrated her powers to Castor.

“Look, she's talking to Castor...We'll wait our turn,” Harkness said.

Galv fidgeted, wanting to make another break for it.

“Look, if something happens, I'll let you tear this place up to get to her. This is one of my favorite places too,” Harkness said, then grinned at a cute Planitian that passed by them.

-The Heart of Gold-

“I'm on a mission,” Shadow said, “I have to stay focused to what I'm doing. If I'm not, people could get hurt...or worse...”

Shadow frowned, the image of Maria being shot playing in his head.

The ship would be landing now, coming to Gerald...

-Orion-

“So are we leaving before Kanna finds out, or not?” Ethan asked Rica.

Castor watched as Melanie used her powers. The dark hue in her hand, and the sudden crippling cold in the room. The Ziggy Stardust tribute man gave a grin. This girl was something special alright.

“My my my... MY! You are something special young lady. I suppose someone with such a unique gift is more than qualified to meet Zues...”

He paused, looking over. He noticed Jack Harkness, and a couple of others... one a local, and the other an offworlder.

“It seems I have more guests. Gem, be a darling and find out what Jacky boy wants, will you? Meanwhile I'll introduce the young miss to Zues...”

Castor grinned, leading Melanie towards back. He pointed towards one of the couches. “Please, take a seat... and tell me what you need. You see... I am Zues.”

Castor grinned. It was always good to hide in plain sight.

[Nourasia]

Jordan turned a bit red.

“... Hey, barkeeper! You got anything more electronic?”

Jordan had to try.

[The Heart Of Gold]

“... Maria wasn't your fault.” Luna said quietly. She knew what Shadow was talking about... she had been there... she knew Maria, and she missed the girl.

“Anyway... for now, we should go see Gerald.”

[Orion]

Rica nodded.

“We should. Let's fire up the engines and get off world as quick as we can.”

The ship would be on its way...

Gem nodded, handing both Melanie and Castor a tall purple drink before turning to greet the new set of patrons. She watched as the two left towards the back before regarding Galv, Jack, and Kale.

"Good evening Jack Harkness, how may I assist you and your friends?"

Kale looked over and his face suddenly went very red....This woman was certainly beautiful! She was strangely perfect...Not that the alien boy was complaining....Gem had that way on people....

[...]

Melanie, unaware that Galv and the others were so close, took a seat on the couch and eyed her drink. Then Castor told her of his true identity which was more than enough to get her eyes back up at the man.

"Oh! It's v-very nice to meet you! I'm sorry if I made you cold before!" the girl said suddenly, before realizing that once again she was rambling. She went quiet for a moment and took a sip of the strange drink.



Whatever it was it was strong...And strange. The girl wrinkled her nose and moved it away. "Um...I heard you know a lot about who....and where people are. I want to look for someone, but I haven't seen him in over a year and have no clue where to start...He's really dangerous but he has an....ability...i'm interested in." she paused for a moment before continuing.

"Hi name is Burke"

Nourasia

The barkeeper didn't quite know what electronic meant but he shrugged, putting on another track.

"Now that's what i'm talking about!" Molly said, downing the rest of her drink and dancing around.

“You don't need to worry sir. We won't be allowing the Metroid to get out of control.”

"Indeed, we won't. As I have been pointing out, I or any of my men shall freeze it before letting it run amok."

He looked to where Asuka had been put.

"Alright, let's get this over with..."

“Hello Gem, looking lovely as always,” Jack said, grinning at the woman. “As it is, this young man here wants to speak with Castor...along with finding his girlfriend, who you just took to meet Zeus, I believe.”

Galv looked up at Gem, frowning, “She's okay, right?”

He wasn't distracted by the woman...he only had eyes for Melanie after all. True 14 year old loooooove.

-The Heart of Gold-

Shadow didn't answer Luna, just looking at her, as the ship landed, this time right by the door.

It opened up, and Shadow stepped into Gerald's base.

Silver paused, then followed after him.

“Gerald...” Shadow called out, holding up the Portal Gun, “I've got it...”

-Rica's Ship-

The ship was taking off!

As it took off, entering the atmosphere, Ethan was staring at the star maps.

“...I think Planit is our best shot. It's within the distance any ship the two could get their hands on, it's populated, and has a few human companies on it...” Ethan said, “If they're not still there, we can pick up a trail.”

There was clattering from a closet, suddenly.

“...What was that?” Samuel muttered.

Castor chuckled.

“No need to apologize little one. I'm very impressed to see you're able to do something so unique. I've met many people with powers in my years, but your's... they're special, I can tell. I hope you'll think long and hard about how you use them.”

Castor did a little twirl, because he could, and then took a seat across from Melanie. A beautiful woman in a shiny suit brought Castor a drink, and he sat and sipped as Melanie spoke.

 "Um...I heard you know a lot about who....and where people are.”

“That I do. Locating the impossible to locate is a specialty of mine.”

Then she dropped the name of who she was looking for. Castor's smile faded a bit.

“You're looking for the man they call Mister Burke? My dear, I would be remiss if I didn't warn you against that. I know the man. He's... among the worst scum I've ever met in my long life, and believe you me, I've met some true scum.”

Castor was blunt about this subject

“... Why on earth would such a young girl be seeking out such a dangerous man?”

[Nourasia]

Jordan drank the rest of his drink, and he joined Molly in dancing. Slowly, ever so slowly, he moved a bit closer to her.

[TRS Crusader]

Asuka was on the ground, still halfway frozen.

“Okay. Crystal. Didymus. Stand by... if she gets out of control, or if that Metroid goes after anyone else... be ready to hit them with a chill blast. Now this is important – do NOT kill the Metroid. If it attacks, stun it, don't kill it.” Raynor leaned against the wall.

He was confident this would work. His hand was still on the hilt of his gun, though.

The Metroid was loosed from its cage, and the small creature fluttered for a moment. It paused, and then went towards Asuka and attached itself to her head...

[Rica's Ship]

“Planit, eh? Hmm... I've been there before. Seems like a nice place. I hope they did go there... they should stay out of trouble there.”

Then a noise from the closet. Rica drew his gun and aimed it at the door.

“... A stowaway? Who is it? Felix, if that's you, you're grounded.”

[Gerald's Lair]

As the Heart of Gold returned, Gerald stepped out to meet them. He was grinning.

Gordon wasn't quite ready to simply hand over his Portal gun. He looked to Shadow.

"... Do you know why he wants this thing?"

Melanie shifted in her seat a bit and eyed her drink once more. She tried not to sound nervous while explaining why she needed to see the man again. "I met him last year...My mom and her...Friends...Worked for him awhile back...He has a power like mine, but different. I want to know more about it and hopefully try and learn it myself."

Melanie wasn't aware that compared to Burke her shadows were just childsplay.

"I'm not afraid of him" she explained "I'm confident I could get what I want if I just have some directions on how to find him"

[...]

Gem motioned for the group to follow, smiling back at Jack "The young one is fine, she is merely speaking with Zeus"

Kale blinked, momentarily out of his little hormone induced stupor "She got through?"

"Indeed. It seemed as if Castor was impressed with her display of power, she seemed very intent on asking him something as well." The Siren then looked down at Galv, getting to his level and smiling "I do hope you have something to convince Castor. Perhaps your personalty is electric enough?"

Of course she already knew...She scanned the boy on his way in.

Nourasia

Molly didn't seem to notice at first that Jordan was inching closer and closer to the girl. Instead she was too focused on dancing.

[End of the Line Club]

Castor was hesitant to send a young girl to meet with someone like Burke. He knew the man was a creeper... he also knew the man was a deranged scientist who liked to pervert nature in horrible ways.

“I admire your courage, especially in one so young... there is a man named Benny. He's a big shot down at the Tops Casino... he's also the number two man for Burke. If you really want to talk to Burke, Benny is who you have to talk to.”

[Nourasia]

Jordan coughed, still not sure what he was even trying. He was attempting to dance with Molly, but he wasn't light on his feet, and he probably ended up stepping on her's.

It's funny... and also kind of sad.

[TRS Crusader]

As the Metroid began to feed on Asuka's energy, a strange glow seemed to permeate her body. The Metroid was shaking a bit, and suddenly Asuka was awake and crying out.

“What the hell!? Get this thing off my head! Rrragh!” She started to move, but found herself trapped by the Metroid. She was shaking, and crying out in pain.

“I'll f***ing kill you all! I'll burn your insides into goop!” Asuka shouted.

“Nice to see you too.” Sama quipped.

Galv looked at Gem, then held up his hand, electricity sparking in it.

“Is that...electric...enough for you?” Galv frowned.

“See you take after your mom there, kid,” Harkness said, then glanced to Kale, “Seems like you got into something big here, kid.”

-Gerald's Lair-

“He wants to help,” Shadow told Freeman, “I believe him.”

Silver frowned, looking at Gerald, wary.

“Well...it never hurts to ask, does it?” Silver said, “Ummm...Gerald, sir...what do you want with the Portal Gun?”

-Rica's Ship-

“I'm going to effin' kill you!” a voice from the closet said. Ethan and Samuel's face paled.

The door opened, and out stepped totally not an imposter Kanna, glaring at the three.

-T.R.S. Crusader-

Peterson tensed as Asuka yelled out, but stayed still, waiting...

Hopefully she would be okay.

So there was a man on Planit that she could speak with, in order to hopefully see Burke. The girl was excited, but also horribly afraid...She was always worried about getting there without Galv knowing.

But she showned none of that emotion. Instead she nodded and mentally made a note to head over to the Casino right away. But first....

"Do you know anything about Burke? Anything important I mean..."

[...]

"......I had no idea they were like this when I found them" Kale said, shocked to see such powers coming from humans. He read all about their species in his books but never read anything about super powers!

Gem on the other hand didn't seem fazed instead she gave a little laugh and turned, motioning for them to take a seat on the long white couch. She disappeared for a moment before coming back with some drinks.

As she handed each person a blue vile (the way drinks came in this weird as heck club) she stopped at Galv "You seem tense...I don't suppose you want to know about what they're talking about in there little one"

Nourasia

Jordan was afraid he would step on Molly's feet and that he did...The girl jumped up with a little "Ow!" before reaching down and rubbing her foot.

"Two left feet much?" she said, looking back up at her gunner

[Gerald's Lair]

Gerald looked to Silver and grinned.

“... The Portal gun allows one to create a Portal; which can easily move through space. One could, with enough power, travel from planet to planet with a portal. Instantaneous travel, all across the universe... and, with the right modification, I believe you could move through time as well.”

Gerald grinned quite madly. “Imagine... the ability to go anywhere, at any time, with the push of a button. Nothing would be off limits to someone with such a device. It would be the ultimate technology in the universe... I intent to realize that theory.”

[Rica' Ship]

Rica's face paled too, and he put his gun away.

“... Kanna? Darling... you shouldn't have come. I wanted to surprise you.” Rica grinned.

[End of the Line Club]

Castor frowned.

“What I know about Burke is that he's a deranged man, and one who does not value any life other than his own. Murder is the least of his crimes... and I dare not mention the worst of them to one so young.”

Castor twirled his staff.

“I'd encourage you to go home, little firefly. If you do find this man, it may be the worst mistake you ever make. Still, you're interesting. Here's my number. If you get into trouble, you can give me a call.”

[Nourasia]

Jordan frowned and rubbed his neck.

“Err... sorry about that... I, ah... heh...”

Jordan shook his head. He was trying to do something, but he couldn't even figure out what.
