The Next Generation

[Lady Jenn]

"You and my dad would get on like a house on fire then," Nicole said, laughing as she climbed into the car.

""I wasn't going to leave you," Katya replied. "He wouldn't let you come with us so he told me to stay instead."

[Lawshenk]

" call me mark please" he said driving off

" Ok" she looked around " I think I'll take a shower relax little"

[Lady Jenn]

"Nicole," she said, smiling. "Although I kind of hope you knew that already. Have you ever come across the Star Corps?"

"I'm guessing you'd rather not have company," she said, pulling a blanket around herself as she started to shiver.

[Lawshenk]

" a little" he wants to hear the story"

She winked " choice is yours "

[Lady Jenn]

"They were the response to the Hero Corps," Nicole replied. "Or at least once British heroes felt the Corps were more interested in America. My father was one of the founders back in the day."

"Don't tempt me," she said, laughing as she got up out of the chair. "Just make sure the water's not cold, I'm cold enough already."

[Lawshenk]

"So I heard they were quite a force I believe " he smiled " Nicole are you a current member?"

Be nice and warm in 5 minuets or so"

[Lady Jenn]

"Dad won't allow me," she replied. "My mum used to be but...the thing inside me, when it's released it can sometimes be...difficult to rein in, I don't think he wants to risk something happening to me."

"I can't remember the last time I had a warm shower," she said, laughing."

[Lawshenk]

" I am sorry about that " he smiled " your mother was she destiny?"

" I was hoping that with it might not be warm but hot" she smiled and winked before walking off * time skip*

[Lady Jenn]

She nodded. "She basically saved a world leader's life, but almost never gets credit for it," she said, before letting out a wry laugh. "But then I guess admitting there are incorporeal vampires running around feeding on people would cause more than a little panic."

"What do you fancy for dinner?" Katya asked, throwing a few clothes on. "I'm told I'm a mean cook when I want to be."

[Lawshenk]

He looked a little shocked " vampires really is that where your powers from?

Gerri cuddled up in bed what ever mark has in I'm not sure " she toredly replied

[Lady Jenn]

"Not all of my powers," she replied. "But this...thing inside me, vampires are about as close a concept as you can get to what it really is."

"How does vegetable soup and chocolate cake sound?" she asked as she checked. "Apparently those are his favourite food, judging by how much there is of it in here."

[Lawshenk]

" can it " he stopped looking for the phrase " suck disease away from blood?"

She giggled " never changes does he? He told me about your scars and how he thinks he knows there source "

[Lady Jenn]

"Maybe," she replied thoughtfully. "But I don't know if it has an off-switch once it starts feeding, that's the problem."

"Did he tell you about the arm?" she asked. "I don't exactly like telling people I had an arm amputated, as stupid as that probably sounds."

[Lawshenk]

"Thought it might help Gerri that's all"

" He told me his powers we copied and put inside one of the clones that's all"

[Lady Jenn]

"I suppose it's worth a try," she said after a few moments. "Maybe if someone attempted to communicate with it they might be able to persuade it."

"Then Carreyra has been using these clones for longer than we realized," Katya said. "We should have known he didn't do this on a sudden whim."

[Lawshenk]

" still can't believe I was named as an accessory when he took my own brothers powers"

[Lady Jenn]

"What do you mean?" Katya asked as she made sure the soup was at a suitable temperature, while cutting them both slices of cake. "I hope you don't mean me."

[Lawshenk]

“ no he said they were my army to the g20 “

[Lady Jenn]

"Carreyra's a master manipulator," she said, brining the food in. "How do you think he managed to hide in an organisation formed to topple him for half a century?"

[Lawshenk]

“ is that why your hear? You believe him don’t don’t you?”

[Lady Jenn]

"No," she replied. "I'm here because I refused to leave your side and risk you dying when I wasn't here."

[Lawshenk]

" if I don't use my powers " she looked at her and sighed " you still don't trust me to die alone?"

[Lady Jenn]

"I don't want you to die at all," she said, looking away. "It's nothing to do with whether I trust you or not."

[Lawshenk]

Gerri looked at her " we all die most off us don't get to choose"

[Lady Jenn]

"not like this we don't," she said, unable to look at her but visibly shaking, despite her best attempts to calm down.
