Toki groaned. "Yes, unfortunately." He then turned around. "And if it's not them, it's the ones with the worst powers imaginable. This one guy could turn into a wall. A WALL."
He sighed, then looked at the ceiling. "It's almost like someone's up there, watching all this and laughing. Well, har-dee-har-har."
An officer knocked on the open door. "Toki? There's a call for you."
"OK. I'm coming." He turned to Mena and Shana. "I'll be right back."
Then he left.

Shanna and Mena looked at each other.
"So..."
"So...."
There was an awkward silence, then Shanna glanced at Mena.
"Learn to fly yet?" she asked with a grin.
Mena laughed. "Sort of. It's just a bit of wind manipulation, but it does the trick," she said with a shrug. Shanna smiled.
"Do you know why this city needed more heroes?" Shanna asked after a moment of companionable silence. Mena shook her head.
"No, but... It's a chance to help others," she replied with a slight shrug. She stared at the door. "Wonder what the phone call was about..."
"Me too..." Shanna said softly as they waited for Toki to come back.

Toki picked up the phone outside. "Hello? Oh, hey Jack.....uh-huh....well, why is he down there? The poster said to come here.....uh-huh....yeah....well, who is he?.....what?....No, I don't want him to come here!.....Because he only THINKS he's my brother.....'Cause he's crazy, that's why!.....I don't know!"
BZZT. A light on the phone started glowing. "Ugh. Hold on, someone's on the other line." He pressed a button. "Hello?....oh, hi......it's nice to hear you too....I'm alright, how about you?.....Oh, that's good. How are the others?.....uh-huh.....Really? That's good to hear.....I see.....No, sorry, I haven't seen her.....yeah, I'll let you know when I do......Yeah, I'll visit soon...OK....see ya..." CLICK.
Toki sighed. "Sorry about that......Look, just tell him that I already have a lightning elemental on the team, and I don't need two. OK?.....And could you warn me if he comes back?....Thanks....Bye." CLICK.
Toki hung up, then returned to where Mena and Shana were.

Mena and Shanna looked at him when he came back.
"Trouble?" Shanna asked, raising an eyebrow.
[OOC: By the way, Shanna's name is pronounced "Sha-anna". Hences the two 'n's. ^^ Just a random, mostly useless piece of info. ^^]

Toki sighed. "No, just some idiot. Nothing to worry about."
He sat down. "OK. NEXT!"
A man wearing an undershirt, big baggy pants, and a huge gold necklace walked in. "Yo yo! I'm Da Rappa! Represent!"
Toki threw his hands in the air. "Well, that's just perfect! Now we've moved on to stereotypes!"
Toki leaned forward. "You know what? Just for fun, "Da Rappa", I'll ask what you can do."
"Yo! I can sing, like, really loud! I wound up trashing this guy's car, with just my voice, 'cause he was steppin'! Yeah!" "Da Rappa" replied.
Toki sighed. "Tell you what. You leave now, change your outfit and your name, then come back, and I'll think about letting you on."
"Yo! What is dis? You want me to change who I am? What are you, some kinda racist?"
"How can I be a racist? You're not even black, you idiot!"
"You trying to silence me? Well, I can't be silenced, mofo!"
"COULD SOMEONE GET THIS NUTCASE OUTTA HERE?"
Two guards entered the room. "C'mon, man. Let's go." The grabbed "Da Rappa"'s arms.
"This is bull(*(), man! You just don't like black people!"
"YOU! ARE! NOT! BLACK!"
"I'm gonna get choo for dis, man! You just wait!"
And with that, he was gone.

"Well, so far, we've seen our share of people who's hearts seem to be in the right place, but aren't actually cut out for this... Yet we've heard nothing about the opposite side of the spectrum. Are there any specific threats we need to know about?" Mena asked, looking at Toki.
"Yes, why is it you require more 'heroes' to protect the city?" Shanna questioned, twisting lock of her hair and focusing on that and not Toki, as if hers was just an idle question to pass the time.

Toki looked over. "Not exactly. This is more of a precaution than anything. Lately, the enemies that I've been fighting on my own have been getting stronger."
He turned in his chair. "For example. "The Toaster." You hear of this guy, and you probably think that he's a giant toaster, right? Wrong. Turns out he was packing. Flamethrowers, explosives...this guy wasn't playing around."
"And then there was Gigabyte. He....well, just look out the window." he said as he pointed outside.

Mena and Shanna shared a look, then stood and walked over to the window and looked outside to see what Gigabyte did.

A section of the city had been damaged severely. The skyscraper was all but demolished, and the roads were in pieces.
Toki walked over. "Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. But we had plently of close calls. I almost wound up biting it, myself."
Toki frowned. "But, next time, with whoever comes next, it'll be worse. Much, much worse."

Shanna and Mena surveyed the damage silently.
"I've never seen such devastation..." Shana whispered softly. Mena turned her back on the window decisively.
"I have," she said, voice emotionless. She turned to Toki, suddenly businesslike. "Toki, you said that you would explain your powers when you had decided we would be a team, so... start?" she asked.

Toki blinked. "Well, let's see. I think visuals would be reccomended."
Toki backed away from Mena and Shanna. He then seemed to concentrate. White flames began to cover the left half of his body, taking on a werewolf-like shape.
When Toki opened his eyes, his left eye was glowing red, and the teeth on the left side of his mouth sharpened. He even spoke in a different voice. "Any particular reason you woke me up, kid?"
When Toki spoke again, it was in his normal voice. "Mena, Shanna, this is Shiro. He's a spirit that's possessing me."
"Hey. How's it goin'?" Shiro responded, waving slightly.

The two were speechless. After a moment, Shanna smiled slightly.
"Technically, if he were possessing you, wouldn't he be the dominant one?" she said curiously. Mena tilted her head to one side, studying Toki/Shiro with an almost clinical air.
"Interesting," was all she said.

*WAMMMMY*
suddenly,what appeared to be an 8-year old,dressed as a jester, wrestling with a winged cat, burst through the window,breaking the glass. she stared at the damaged window,and then yelled at the cat, "NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"
and the she seen the "you need serious help" looks she was getting.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT"she yelled,with obvious boldness.

Toki blinked. "Uh, hold that thought." Shiro then vanished.
He knelt down, looking at the jester. "What, exactly, are you doing?"

Mena swiftly intervened and picked up the cat, getting it away from the girl. She looked it over and lightly run a static charge over it, checking for injuries.
"How do you know the cat is evil?" Shana asked, standing beside Mena.

"becuase...." she then held up the arm held behind her back,reveiling that it was nothing more then a bloody stump. --------
the cat did not not like being held and checked on.so he bit mena and begain to suck her blood.

Toki quickly smacked the cat out of Mena's hands. He then covered his hands in white flames, and healed the bite marks.
Then he turned to the jester, and healed his injury. "That is one psychotic cat. Where did you find it?"

Mena scowled at the cat and picked it back up, running a paralyzing shock through it's system. "Do not. Bite me," she growled, holding it by the scruff of it's neck, keeping the paralyzing energy going through it.
"Perhaps it is not evil, merely wild," Shana said softly, eying the cat.

The screams brought the dark haired twenty-something who had be waiting patiently outside the door to the mayor's offices out of his own recollections.
The raised voices he heard next gave further pause to any thoughts of entering.
"Should probably chill here until things calm down," was his opinion on the activities in the office.

Shanna and Mena both looked towards the door.
"Come in," they called out in unison, Mena having felt the wind currents shift, and Shanna having felt the water in the air swirl. They then looked at each other and grinned.
"Just like old times, hm?" Shanna asked. Mena nodded, still keeping an eye on the cat and keeping up the electric current.

The cat seemed like it was trying to do something so Roger spoke quickly. "I'm here about the proposed team." "I think I could be of some use".

Shanna smiled at him. "Well for that, you need to speak to Toki," she said, gesturing at said person. "At the moment, we're handling a vampire cat."
Mena smiled slightly. "I think I'm the one 'handling' it here," she quipped, glaring at the cat. "Do not bite anyone, and perhaps I will stop the electricity," she said to it, trying to see if it understood her.

"You guys seem to be dealing with something right now so I'll just stand over here for a bit."
Roger moved to a wall and seemingly closed his eyes and stopped responding to noises.

Mena and Shanna exchanged a look, and Shanna started making the water vapor above Roger's head group together to form a ball of water. Then, she slowly leached the warmth out of it until it was cold enough to shock, and released it from her power, letting fall onto him.
"Name, age, power, and just because we're busy doesn't mean you can't help," she said with a grin.
