Title: Dark Secrets
Description: The story formerly known as Confessions


Marx - December 15, 2006 12:04 AM (GMT)
"Yeah! Take it!" Marx yelled in as his victory seemed assured. "Bull$#!+! Take this!" Duo yelled in retaliation taking Marx down a peg or two, only for another victory cry to ring out. "You have been smoten!" Cassie cried out only for there to be a slight pause as everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over to Greta. "...what? I thought that's what we were supposed to do?" The other three groaned in defeat as they put down their GameCube controllers as they got off the floor. "I thought you said you never played this game before?" Duo asked cocking her head to the side to which Greta responded with a shrug. "It was my first time, I swear. I just pressed random buttons and you all died." "Ah, the curse of the newb!" Marx spoke out with a stretch. "The ones with no clue what they're doing will spank you every time."

It was the beginning of Christmas vacation so the four were out of school and passing the time over at Cassie's place. "How much longer's Will gonna be? I can't really bug the guy if he's not around." Super said as Duo playfully elbowed him in the ribs. "Keep it up Marxy and you'll see that we're not the only pranksters around here...you don't even want to know how he got me back for that prank call awhile back. He's eeeeeeeevil." Duo said in a spooky voice waving her fingers in a creepy way over Marx. "Don't I know it..." Cassie said with a knowing expression which immediately piqued Duo and Marx's interest. "Mmmm, I bet you do. Having this place to yourself most of the time." Immediately Cassie went redder than the text that I use to type for her. "I didn't mean it like that!" Cassie protested with a slight pout as Greta looked confused. "...I don't get it...What are you guys talking about?" Greta said as she stretched, herself. "Nothing!" Cassie shouted, to a slight chorus of giggles from Duo and Marx. "Nothing huh? Poor Will, no wonder he's so angry all the time." "No! I didn't say that that was nothing! That's..." Cassie blushed once again as she saw Duo and Marx's face in anticipation. "That's it, we're changing the subject!"

Suddenly Cassie's cell went off causing her to jump. "Ooo, isn't that Ill Nino?" Super asked plopping on the floor again. "Yeah, Will loves them....Hey baby, what's up?...Uh huh...just playing video games with Duo, Greta and Marx.......Greta did....Oh come on it's not that funny....If you don't stop laughing right this instant Will Hayes I'm gonna...Tee hee hee!....Stop it!....You're so bad...hm? Infinity's End?...Nope never heard of it.....oh cool, can everyone else come?...Okay, see you soon baby." Cassie said as she hung up the phone, surprised that everyone was now staring at her. "Er...you guys want to go with me and Will to this new place called..." "Infinity's End! I've always wanted to go to Infinity's End." Marx yelled excitedly which contrasted to Duo's mellow expression. "You've never heard of it before have you?" Marx stopped mid smile and looked back at her. "No...your point?" Cassie and Greta shook their heads as they went to get their coats.

Will was in his usual gothicwear consisting of all black clothes and a leather trenchcoat that he kept open just to look cool and show off his "Whose your Papi?" tshirt. Soon over the corner he recognized the four forms of his friend, his girlfriend, his sister, and his friend's friend that he tolerated. Waving at them, he let them get closer before he started to the door of Infinity's End and knocked. By the time someone answered him the others had reached Will. "You do know we don't open until tomorrow right?" The owner said, looking none to happy until Will mumbled something under his breath and the owner's eyes seemed to flash. "But eh...you did come all this way... and there's only five of you." He said as he let them in and Cassie gave Will a 'Bad boy! Bad bad boy!' look as she caught that he cast some kind of spell on him. "I suppose you don't go by that 'no personal gain' rule huh?" Cassie said, elbowing Will playfully. "Second damn time I let someone in, too much of a softy." The owner muttered as he started to walk away.

The music began to gradually get louder as they got further in the club. "Who else did you let in?" Marx asked but the owner was out of earshot. Will let out a groan as he saw a familiar face dancing to "Build me up, Buttercup". "Hey Will! Why do you build me up, build me up! Buttercup baby, just to let me down!" The figure sang loudly making Will roll his eyes. "Hey Erin."

Marx - December 20, 2006 03:39 PM (GMT)
"What are you doing here?" Will asked, seemingly annoyed which to be honest was quite true. Bending over as she danced Erin gave Will and by extension Marx quite the show of cleavage. "I could ask you the same question, after all this place is supposed to be clooooosed." Erin teased as she continued to dance. "...whosabaaabaaaa.." Marx mumbled looking like his jaw was going to drop on the floor which considering his powers could easily happen. But he immediately straightened up as he heard Duo loudly clear her throat. "I mean! Who is this interesting friend you have Will?" Marx quickly said repeating the question in a much more understandable way though nervously looking at Duo.

Will turned to Erin with a slight grin. "Erin...you aren't...?" Will started, letting the question trail off. "Not at all Willyboy. That's just my..natural magnetism." Erin said with a sly smile as the song stopped and she took a bow. "That dance was very...jiggly." Greta bluntly said, her tone making it hard to tell whether that was a compliment or not. To which Erin gave a slight giggle as she replied, "Why thank you." Will shook his head once more as he turned to the others. "Everyone, this is Erin. We used to work together at the music store. She also does some...freelance work if you get my meaning." He said with a slight smirk which was returned by Erin.

"Oooo 'freelance' huh? How much?" Marx said without thinking before a loud thud was heard followed by the inevitable, "He didn't mean that kind of freelance, you perv!" "OW!" This was followed by a chorus of laughter as Erin spoke up once again. "Let me guess. The one with his foot in his mouth is Marx and the girl with the braids who just elbowed his kidneys out would be Duo..." Erin started pointing each of them out as she named them as Will nodded in agreement. "Blonde girl number one would be Greta, and blonde girl number two that I've seen in your wallet would be....Cassie." Erin said making a point of stretching out Cassie's name. "It's nice to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you." Cassie finally spoke up as she put out her hand and shook it with Erin, who replied, "Same here. Hopefully they were good things. So...you mind sharing?" Erin said slyly as she looked at Will.

Needless to say, Cassie looked quite surprised. "...sharing?..." "The club. Sharing the club..." Will mumbled giving a slight growl at Erin which was returned with a smile as she looked back at Cassie. "Well, of course. What else would we be sharing?" Erin asked seemingly politely though the deviousness of the question seemed to radiate from her before the next song began to play and Marx broke through the awkward silence with his singing and dancing on top of one of the tables. "Wicky Wild Wild West! Jim West, desperado!" "Rough rider! No you don't want nada!" Greta chimed in as she got on the table as well. "Come on Duo!" Marx yelled to Duo who was merely crossing her arms, shaking her head. "Nuh uh. I'm not dancing up there. You know there's a dance floor for that." "Nowhere near as fun, come on!" Marx insisted as he grabbed Duo's arm and started pulling her up, only to get the final nudge up there from Will as he laughed and turned back to Cassie and Erin.

"So...did you use your particular...influence to get in here?" Will asked with a smirk which was returned by Erin. "Why?...Did you?" Will's eyes suddenly went wide as he suggested. "So...whose up for dancing on that table?" Cassie, now giving both of them the 'Bad! Bad!' looks said, "You two are horrible! We should be using our powers to fight evil, not to get into clubs a day early." She said with a slight pout. "So you're saying you wouldn't have done the same thing?" Will asked with a dark smirk which only got the reply. "So whose up for dancing on that table?"

Marx - December 21, 2006 08:02 PM (GMT)
Sure enough table dancing can't just be that simple. Soon enough, Marx ended up bumping Duo a little too hard and she ended up falling off the table, which caused Will to bump Marx off of it. Which of course led to the others being bumped off one by one. First Will, then Cassie, leaving the sole two contenders on the table in the form of Greta and Erin. The rest of the group were standing around the table cheering for the last man...er...girl standing as Marx put on "Baby got Back". "You're going down, little girl." Erin said confidently as she went for a bump but Greta moved out the way, causing her to fall towards Will who instinctively caught her and ended up giving her a slight glare after his surprised look faded. "My hero!" "...You know...if I were a suspicious, I'd say you did that on purpose..."

Erin rolled her eyes, making no attempt to get out of Will's arms despite his subtle attempts to put her down. "As if I'd lose anything on purpose. You should know me better than that by n- OW!" Erin yelped as she jumped out of Will's arms, landing on the floor, rubbing her side while Duo seemed to be smirking. "Oops, sorry about that, sometimes when I'm surprised my spears slip." Erin rubbed her side again which wasn't even burned enough to leave a mark and smirked back at Duo as she whispered, "Spoilsport." "Greta you are totally awesome today. Undefeated, and hey, you guys can sit down and I'll get everyone drinks, whattaya say?" Marx said politely as he began float behind the bar. "I can't help my skills." Greta said with an exagerrated flip of her hair as she giggled and went over to help Marx with the drinks.

"Why don't we try the booths?" Cassie suggested, deciding to ignore the semi flirting as long as it stayed one sided, as she pointed at one of the circular booths on the walls. They had three semi circle couches with a round table in the middle. Will sat on the smallest of the three, just to end up being sandwiched between Cassie and Erin, as Duo sat at the couch to the right. "Um...you know there's a third couch." Will said, looking a little nervous. While there was room enough for three on the couch, it'd obviously been made for two. "Aw, but you're the only one here I know. I'd get lonely over there." Erin said with an exaggeratedly pouty expression. "It's no problem, I can just sit on Will's lap to give us more room." Cassie said with a victorious expression as she did just that. "No complaints from me." Will said slyly, to which Erin replied, "I bet."

Soon afterwards Marx and Greta returned with the drinks. "I was gonna get some wine coolers but Greta wouldn't let me." Greta seemed to pout slightly at Marx's statement. "But we're all underage." Greta said, to a few snickers around the table. "Good lookin' out, sis." Will said with a nod, which seemed to be all the validation Greta needed as she turned back to Marx. "See? Will agrees with me." Greta said sticking out her tongue as she sat on the empty couch. "Suckup." Erin said with a smirk before she let out another "Ow!" as Will gave her a little kick. "Everyone's being so mean to me." Erin said, once again donning her exaggerated pout. "Oh please, I've sparred with you before. You can take a lot more than that." Will said rolling his eyes as Erin's smile became almost Cheshire cat like.

"So what should we do now?" Duo asked as she snuggled up to Marx who already had his arm around her. "Oo! We should play a game! I've been really good at those lately! Especially ones I've never played before." Greta said excitedly as she took a sip of her drink. Erin's green eyes seemed to twinkle. "Ooo I have the perfect game we could play."

Marx - December 25, 2006 12:06 AM (GMT)
Will raised one of his eyebrows as he looked at Erin. "What kind of game?" He asked, his voice laced in skepticism. Erin's on the other hand seemed to be all the more devious. "Truth or Dare." Both Will and Marx groaned immediately to the suggestion in unison, while the girls giggled at the response. "Don't you think we're a little old for Truth or Dare?" Marx asked leaning back on the couch. "Listen hard...because I don't say this often...but I agree with Marx." Will said, Cassie's face showing how rare of an event that was. "Awwww, but we'd have such dark and naughty secrets now, it'll be fun." Erin said, stressing the 'naughty'.

"Our secrets are secrets for a reason." Duo commented, not seeming too fond of the idea either. "Aww, come on Duo. I can promise that nothing said here will leave this bar. I already know you all trust each other, and if you don't believe me..." Erin said as she put out her hand, obviously knowing about Duo's soul reading ability. Duo looked over to Will who had a slight smirk on his face. "If Will doesn't think you'll say anything then I guess I will...considering he doesn't trust anyone." "Who said I trusted her? I just doubt she'd say anything." Will commented keeping his smirk.

"Well...at least I can tell if anyone's lying." Duo said with a slight smile. "And I can tell if you're lying." Will replied as he stuck out his tongue. "Okay, everyone has to answer the question right? Well...you remember about two years ago when we switched bodies? Everyone, with the exception of Erin, at this table was in a different gender. So...did you peek?" Marx asked with possibly the most devious grin he'd ever had with good reason. He'd accidentally told Duo that he peeked while he was in her body, and she totally got back at him for it. But he'd never found out if she peeked when she was in Risk's(her then boyfriend) body.

"Well...that's it for me." Will said trying to get up, luckily or unluckily depending on how you see it for him Cassie was still sitting on his lap and wouldn't let him move. "What's wrong, Will? Did you peek?" Will seemed to look away slightly before he finally answered after some more struggling. "Fine, fine. I peeked." Will reluctantly said as Cassie looked shocked. "Bad Will! Bad Bad Will!" "Oh is that right? If memory serves you implied that you peeked as well." Will immediately shot back. "Uh...I...uh...uh..I..." "We have two peekers! And I totally would have peeked if I switched with a guy. So Cass...how was it?" Erin asked, totally intent on Cassie's answer.

Meanwhile Cassie's cheeks were burning so red it seemed like smoke should be coming out of her ears. "That...wasn't part of the question. Besides I doubt Greta would want to hear that." While Erin seemed to pout, Greta did indeed look quite grateful. "Um...does...tripping over Kon's dirty magazines on the way out of his room count?" Greta asked only to be confused by the chorus of laughter around the table. "No Greta, that doesn't count. I'll take that as a no...oh...crap it's my turn isn't it?" Marx's eyes seemed to twinkle with anticipation of the ammo he'd be given depending on her answer. "I...just...peeked a little...." Marx threw up his hands in victory. "Ha! Haaaa! I knew I wasn't the only perv!" The speedster said only to get a collective response of growls.

"Okay Mr. Perv. I dare you to kiss someone." Duo said with a devious smirk which was only returned by Marx. "Doesn't that mean we all have to kiss someone?" Duo paused slightly as according to the way they were playing that was right. "Aw Hell..."

Marx - December 28, 2006 11:33 PM (GMT)
Without warning Marx kissed Duo on the lips before she could really take in that everyone at the table would have to kiss someone at the table. While Duo seemed taken aback by the sudden kiss, Marx seemed to have a smirk on his face. Greta seemed to be thinking about it before a smile came over her face as she activated her power and floated over the table kissing Will on the cheek, causing him to blush slightly which wasn't helped by Cassie's assault on him directly afterwards. While Will had a blissful look on his face it immediately turned serious after he looked at Erin. "Hm, now who should I kiss? There's so many options..." Erin said with almost a Marxlike smile on her face as she looked at Will. Cassie turned to Duo giving her the queen of all glares before her face was suddenly grabbed and she felt herself being kissed. "Mmmmmph!" Cassie yelled before she finally pulled away from Erin with a shocked look. "Wha!? Wha!? What the? Why did?"

Erin's smirk got even darker as she looked at Cassie. "You prefer I kiss someone else, cuz I'd be more than welcome to." Once again Cassie's eyes shot open as she blushed slightly. "No...no that's fine...I guess...WILL!" Cassie suddenly yelled as she looked back at Will who had a guilty expression. "Sorry sorry." Will said, his blushing matching Cassie's as she slid off his lap. "Okay, so you guys don't think I'm a total spaz or anything I'll give a more serious question. Hm...what is your biggest regret?" Everyone's expressions seemed to get slightly more serious as they thought, though Will was the one who spoke up first. "Killing Greta." He said so quickly that it didn't seem he really had to think about it. "Awwwwww, it turned out okay though didn't it?" Greta said reaching over to pat Will on the back. "Yeah...but still..." Will said as Erin looked kind of confused. "Wait...what?"

Will began to smirk a little at Erin's confusion. "Yeah, just about everyone at this table as tried to kill, if not successfully kill at least one other person at the table. Hell, even you tried to kill me." "Well...yeah, but that was business. When you said you were used to it I thought you meant from the villains." There were slight snickers around the table. "Well...yeah, the villains try to kill me too, just happens that it's not rare for one of my friends to try as well." Will said with an awkward smile that didn't really match the words. "So...how many people here have tried to kill you?" Will seemed like he had to think about it. "Well, there's you and Duo, oh and Greta....hm...yeah that's it." "Sorry." "Sorry." "No, it's cool really. Not like I haven't tried to kill either of you." Erin suddenly burst into a fit of laughter. "You guys are insane." Will gave Erin a warm smile. "You better believe it. Now back to the regrets..."

"Probably killing Mom. I think if I was given the choice again I'd still do it...but I wish I hadn't had to..." Greta said to a few curious looks most of the people around the table since Will and Greta kind of kept that tidbit to themselves. "For what it's worth, if I'd have known that's what you were going to do I'd have stopped you..." Will said with a shrug to get embraced by Greta. "Aw Will that's such a nice thing to say, even if I would have knocked you unconscious and done it anyway." Greta said in a disturbingly sweet tone. "Oh yeah...I was human then wasn't I?" "Yup, I would have spanked you." "Greta...do me a favor and never say that again." "Sure thing, Twinkie." Erin continued to give Greta and Will 'you guys are friggin crazy' looks as she turned to see what the others regretted.

"Well...I guess for me it'd be the whole Vicious thing..." Duo said before Marx flicked her in the head. "Wasn't your fault. Doesn't count. Next regret." "Ow! Then you can't say it was your fault either, Marxy!" Duo said to Marx, returning the flick. "Exactly, it was my fault." Will said before he got flicked by Cassie. "It wasn't anyone's fault! It was just a bad situation." Once again Erin looked confused. "And Vicious is...who exactly?" Will rolled his eyes in response to Erin's question. "Trust me, it's a very long st-" "The guy who killed Duo. Who I killed when I got too angry, and he was brought back as a demon who beat the living hell out of all of us." Super interrupted which made Will shrug again. "Okay so it's not a long story, but there are a lot of details." Super nodded to Will's comment as he began to say his answer. "Believe it or not...I don't regret killing him. The fact is if he'd stayed dead none of that would have happened and everyone would have been better off. That's my regret...that he came back..." Marx said seriously as Duo gave him a bit of a worried glance before he popped back up. "Now where's your real regret Duo? Don't think I forgot."

Caught offguard Duo laughed again. "Fine fine, okay. My regret is that none of you tried to kill each other until I joined the bunch. I was a bad influence." Will suddenly let out a loud 'Ha!'. "Speak for yourself, I'll have you know I tried to kill the Titans on more than one occasion before you hooked up with us." "Try being the important word, sweety." Cassie said as she patted Will's cheek. "Okay, that's it! I want a list of kills and kill attempts around the table!" There was a slight nervous laughter around the table at Erin's demand. "I thought Erin already had a 'truth'." "This isn't part of the game I'm just curious." Erin said with a curious look as she eyed everyone at the table.

"I'll go first, then." Will started. "I've tried to kill Cassie and Duo, and actually killed Greta" Then he looked to Duo. "Um, I tried to kill Will and actually killed Cassie and Marx." Duo gave a wary eye to Marx as she knew his answer. "I think...yeah...I tried to kill Duo and that's it. For what it's worth I didn't know it was her at the time...." Duo gave Marx a quick peck on the cheek. "I know." "Well, I haven't killed anyone here. Or tried to for that matter...." Cassie said sounding as if she felt a little left out as Will kissed her cheek. "That's a good thing, baby. We joke about it but trust me, it isn't the best feeling and I'm glad you haven't." Will said with a warm smile as he held Cassie closer as she looked to Greta. "I only tried to kill Will." Greta spoke up. "Same here. Would have worked too if you'd have been human." "Well it's a good thing I wasn't then isn't it?" Will said with a laugh before Marx spoke up. "But I thought you were human, you just had demonic connections and stuff." Marx said, taking a sip of his drink as Cassie, Duo and Erin went silent. "What? What'd I say?"

Marx - January 3, 2007 05:48 AM (GMT)
"How about...we tell one secret that the majority of us don't know." Greta said giving a slight look to Will who returned it with a nod. Once again Marx looked slightly confused but was the first to speak up. "Er...um...I tried to kill myself once..." Needless to say everyone at the table, except for Duo, immediately looked at the speedster who looked uncharacteristically serious. "It was the reason I invited CM3 and The Ray to join YJ so the team would be okay when I was gone. I tried to drown myself in the same water Duo cut off her wings at." Once again everyone was silent, though Secret was the first to say the obvious question. "So what happened?" "My morphing powers apparently can work independently if they need to. I kept growing gills."

There was a slight nervous laughter around the table as everyone had the same question but no one wanted to ask it. "Don't worry though, I'm fine. Was able to get some therapy courtesy of Duo. I was just...going through a really tough time." Marx said with a smile. "Don't really know if I can top the morbidness of that, despite the fact that I tried to kill myself as well...but everybody knows that..." "I didn't." "Okay, everyone but Erin knows that." "Have all of you tried to kill yourselves as well?" Erin asked only to get glares from around the table. "What? It's a legitimate question." "Annnyway, the only thing I can think of is that while I remember every person I've ever killed in depth I only regret killing Cassie, Marx, and Vittorio...I don't regret the others. I know as a 'good guy' I should but they weren't good people. And I made sure what happened to me didn't happen to anyone else."

Cassie looked like she wanted to say something but was choosing her words carefully, but before she could say anything Greta suddenly blurted out, "Darkseid's my father." Once again if there were crickets outside that's all you'd be able to hear as everyone tried to think of something to say. "Um...are you sure? Cuz...if it's something he told you..." "Darkseid doesn't lie, he's 'above' it." Will stated using finger quotes. "Besides our mother confirmed it and...well..." "He's my father...trust us. It's nothing I take pride in." Greta said with what looked almost like a glare. "Ooookay. I guess I could keep with the father thing. Mine's Zeus." Some much needed laughs were heard as Erin replied, "So you're a goddess as well, huh?" Cassie seemed to blush at the attention which seemed almost the polar opposite of Greta's. "Demi goddess..." Cassie mumbled under her breath.

"I've been blinded by spiky cleavage." Will spoke up taking the attention off of Cassie, once again hushing the crowd. "I'm...sorry...did you just say you were blinded by spiky cleavage?" Marx asked obviously having a hard time keeping a straight face while asking the question. "Well...see, I was fighting this woman named Raven Hex and she didn't so much as have a top as she had..um...spiky pasties. And she was a better fighter than I was expecting, and she caught me offguard and kind of just shoved my face in there and used to spikes to gouge out my eyes. It wasn't the first time I've had my eyes gouged out but it was definitely the most interesting." Once again silence was heard around the table as Duo and Cassie glared at Will. "What? There was no rule that said they had to be serious secrets." Will said with a laugh which wasn't returned by the two girls. "Okay fine! I'm a demon okay? My human body was burned alive in Hell when I died for the...um...second...third?" Will seemed to stop mid sentence as he began to count on his fingers. "Dad shot me...that spy kid stabbed me...Greta drove me back to Hell...flatlined after Vicious attacked me...burned alive...okay, died for the fifth time give or take and Satan gave me a new body made of my previous sponsors. Considering my sponsors were all demons that makes me a demon." Will said with a sigh as he regretted the eventual question of his true form or why he was given the body.

"So...you just made up that whole spiky cleavage thing?" Marx asked. "No no, that happened last week. 'How hard can she possibly be to fight with those huge things?' he says. 'Her center of balance has to be totally off.' he says. The way you were looking at them I almost wanted to gouge your eyes out myself."

Marx - January 4, 2007 07:03 PM (GMT)
"Fine, how about you have to tell your most embarrassing superhero related story." Will said giving everyone a dark look. This 'truth' seemed to keep up with the slightly more light hearted feeling around the table thanks to the spiky cleavage story. "Hm, embarrassing superhero related thing..." "FIRST FLIGHT! FIRST FLIGHT!" Electro's voice rang out from Marx's communicator causing everyone to jump and Duo to almost fall out of the couch in laughter. "...quiet you..." Marx mumbled as Duo continued to laugh and everyone looked at Marx with intrigue. "Okay, fine the first time I found out I could fly was after Electro blew up. I ended up flying into a car and landing face first into the road so hard it left an impression..." At first there was a quiet as everyone tried to picture that happening in their head and then a roar of laughter.

"What was that voice thing?" Erin asked looking intently at the device on Marx's wrist. "Oh, that's my communicator to my motorcycle, Electro. He basically has AI similar to my personality." "Oooo I love motorcycles, can I ride it?" "Sure baby, anything you want." The voice said out of Marx's communicator causing him and Duo to roll their eyes. "I'm telling Kirbee!" Cassie yelled at the communicator causing another chain of laughter. "Okay Duo, what about you?" Will said with a devious grin. "Oh...you mean besides finding out that Marxy peaked when he was in my body?" Duo said giving Marx a playful glare. "Um...probably when my bandages came off and I almost ended up hugging Marxy topless." A slight snicker was heard in Marx's direction. "I remember that. I was wondering why you were blushing and didn't want me to stop hugging you." There were a few confused looks around the table and it was obvious Duo wasn't going to provide any extra insight. "Okay, so you remember when Duo cut off her wings, she was all bandaged but they had to take off her top and stuff right? Well I suggested that she pull the stumps back into her back and I hugged her while she did it, but once the wings were back in..." "There was a lot more slack on the bandages!" Erin blurted out with a laugh which got a glare from Duo.

"Oh? And what exactly would be your embarrassing moment?" Erin seemed to be thinking about it as most of the heroes had been. "Okay, so I was given this job to off this guy. And the easiest way to get to him was his son, who was really cute by the way. So we went on a date and everything and I ended up having such a good time I forgot to kill his father." Erin said as she began to laugh. "Nothing's more embarrassing to an assassin than an unfinished job, especially if you just forgot it. I went back later that night and killed him and his son who walked in on me in the process. It was too bad though, he really was pretty cute just wasn't that bright." "Aren't I technically an unfinished job?" Will said with a smirk. "Nah, you're a special case." "Oh...how sweet." Cassie replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Your turn Greta." Will said, trying to change the subject. "Um...Marx tried to give me a wedgie once, but he didn't know that I was intangible at the time and his hand went right through me...not sure who was more embarrassed considering where his hand ended up..." "NEXT!" Will shouted before Marx could reply. "Hey, I'm kind of curious about this one." "You're telling me." "Same...here..." "I. Said. Next." Will said giving a glare to all of them, especially to Marx, who was already getting quite the glare from Duo who apparently hadn't heard this story either. "Okaaay, ease up sweety. And no hurting Marx after this is all over." "But I'd only break one...five bones tops." "No." "Just one quick blast?" "No." "But he'll only be sore for-" "No! No. Okay, my embarrassing moment. Hm, probably when Will almost saw me naked..." Will immediately began to blush. "On our first date?" Cassie's eyes suddenly shot open. "I totally forgot that time. I meant when you came back from your training." "Ooooh." "Wow, seen her naked so many times you can't keep it straight huh?" Erin replied slyly.

"No! He shadowported in on me the first time and the second time I'd just gotten out of the shower and I didn't know he was there..." "Heh heh, 'I'm so naked to see you.' " Will quoted with a slight laugh. "Oh? And I suppose, 'Cassie...I'm so glad to see you naked! I meant! I'm glad to see you. Not see you naked. Just glad to see you. Not that I wouldn't mind...' was soooo much better. " Cassie mocked doing her best Will impression that was leaving the rest of the table in tears.

Marx - January 7, 2007 07:51 PM (GMT)
"Hey you were only wearing a towel, it was hard for me to think straight." Will said tauntingly at Cassie who winked back at him. "It's your turn, Cass." Cassie looked up as she began to think. "Okay...all of us have superpowers right? If you could add one power or take away one power which would you choose and what would the power be?" The question seemed to stump the majority of the people at the table who seemed to have to think about it. "Good question...hm..." Will started as he thought. "Cassie, it's really hard to concentrate when you're doing that..." Will said under his breath as he grinned slyly to Cassie who looked quite confused. "I'm not doing anything..." Cassie replied with a slight giggle which stopped as soon as Will's eyes shot wide open and looked at Erin. "STOP!" "Why Will, I have no idea what you're talking about, I've been sitting here the whole time..." Erin said with a devious smile. Looking at the star on Erin's necklace, Will saw that one of the 7 points was missing.

"Sure you were...some of you, anyway...but back to the question if it was an aspect of the powers, I'd probably want it to not be painful to use the ones I have...but if I had to choose a total power I'd say telekinesis, I rather liked flying." Will finished with a smile on his face, though Marx looked slightly confused. "It hurts to use your powers?" "Hell yeah." Both Will and Cassie replied in unison which made them look at each other and laugh. "Yeah, you would know wouldn't you? Though it's not all of my powers, but the energy blasts especially burn like Hell...pun intended. To be honest I could probably go all Godzilla and shoot beams out my mouth if I wanted, but nah...wouldn't be worth it."

There was a slight pause around the table as most of those seated wanted to say something but were waiting for the others to say it. "God-Zil-La! God-Zil-La!" Greta started chanting as she banged on the table as she was gradually joined by the others. "God-Zil-La! God-Zil-La!" "God-Zil-La! God-Zil-La!" Even Cassie began to join in. "God-Zil-La! God-Zil-La!" Will rolled his eyes as he let out a sigh. "Fine fine." He said taking a deep breath as everyone looked in anticipation. Letting out the breath, a beam, about the size he would normally shoot out of his hands, shot out of his mouth, barely missing Marx who immediately jumped. "Gah! You said you wouldn't attack me!" Marx yelled. "That was freakin awesome! Do it ag-..damn!" Erin yelled in excitement until she saw that Will's mouth was sizzling. He held up a finger for a few seconds. "Yeah...now I remember why I never do that. Burns up my tongue so much I can't really talk right after I do it. Makes it difficult to make witty comments." "Holy Hera, Will! I thought you were just going to do a small beam!" Will gave a devious grin as he replied, "That wouldn't have been any fun now would it?"

"Awwww, I'd be more than willing to kiss it better if you want me too." Erin offered giving an equally evil grin which was returned by a glare from Cassie. Will meanwhile was looking at the necklace again which had all 7 points on the star now and gave a slight sigh of relief. "No no, I think Cassie could handle that. Thanks for the offer." Will said, playfully sticking out his tongue. "I think I just might take you up on that when we get home." Cassie replied with a sly smile of her own. "What about you, Erin? Add a power or subtract?" "Invulnerability, hands down. I could see so many ways that could come in handy couldn't you?" Erin said, slowly licking her lips as she looked at Cassie. "I'd get a feeling you'd need it." "Not as much as you'd think." Erin replied before Duo interrupted as she cleared her throat rather loudly.

"I'd probably want super speed." Duo mumbled while looked away from Marx who immediately hugged her. "Awwwww, that's so sweet! I'd want a hyper metabolism dammit." Most of the people around the table let out a snicker as it was well known that Marx was one of the only superspeedsters who had a regular metabolism(superhero-wise anyway, that's not counting how much he can eat without gaining any weight) which made it suck a good bit when he was injured even if he tended to be lucky and be around someone who could heal him instantly. "Hm...I think I'm good. Before I would have wished to be alive, but I am now and since I can turn solid when I want...um...I guess I'd give up mine and give invulnerability to Will. That way he could breath fire without burning out his throat...cause that was cool." Will broke out into a fit of laughter along with most of the others. "But Greta couldn't you technically breathe a flammable gas and breath fire yourself?" Will pointed out which seemed to make Greta think about it. "You know...I'm going to have to try that out some day..." "Just make sure the inside of your mouth is flameproof before you do okay?" Will warned with a grin.
