Irish Detour (Conner Only!)

[nelly]

*Conner and Nelly had decided they would spend their honeymoon touring Europe. They would start in the UK, head over to France, then Germany, cross through Austria into Italy, and end in Greece. They would spend from a day to a week in each country, depending on where they were.*

*The first place they stopped was Ireland. Coming back to this country was both exhilirating and scary. Upon setting foot on the Ireland soil, the scars on her back started to burn, though she didn't tell Conner this. It wasn't that there was physical pain caused by the area, just the memory causing mental pain.*

*The two soon found a hotel to stay in, but Nelly did not want to unpack just yet. They dropped off their things then headed for the country. There was one place in particular she wanted to see, and possibly destroy. They caught a cab and drove. The cab went as far as it could, but they had to stop four miles from her destination because the cab driver did not want to drive on the dirt road. So, the two got out and started walking. It was so green all around them, gray clouds covering the sun. Green hills surrounded them, the dirt road winding through them.*

[conner]

*Conner was happy to be on the honeymoon and was happy to see the land that Nelly was from. He still wore long jeans and a jacket over his t-shirt. Even though he was on vacation he still had to worry about his power. Conner could sense that something was up and so he did start to gather a little bit of energy, just in case.*

[nelly]

*After an hour or so of walking along the road, they came around a giant green hill and immediately gunfire rang out. Bullets flew past and Nelly pulled Conner back behind the hill. Her face shown pure horror. She whispered softly.*

"They are still in operation... How?"

*Then her face turned to pure anger and hatred. She let go of Conner and looked him straight in the eye, completely serious.*

"Gather as much energy as you can. We are going to get the slaves out and destroy this place once and for all. You better stay a few feet directly behind me. I'm going to disintegrate anything that comes within three feet of me, including their bullets. Just don't get shot."

*All thought of them being on a honeymoon had pretty much disappeared by this point as Nelly ran out. She was mad and nothing was going to stop her from killing all the slavedrivers.*

[conner]

*Conner followed Nelly behind the hill. When she directed him to gather energy he instantly took off the jacket that he was wearing. He then put a shield of energy around him and ran out with her. He was about five feet behind her and was ready for her to tell him what to do. He could think for himself but obviously Nelly wanted this done specifically.*
Spend a good time in the country they say, relax they say.....stupid people.
*Conner was muttering to himself.*
Everyone says that the honeymoon is the time to relax and to get to know your new spouse...but no, we're fighting slave drivers and to top it all off: I don't have my meter with me.

*Shots rang out again, bullets wizzing towards the two. As the bullets approached, though, they all became mush that splat onto Nelly or metal dust that drifted to the ground. She had been running and when she got to the first post guard, his whole body started disintegrading. Another guard ran towards her, but he started melting. Screams from the two men were cut short as their mouths disappeared. She looked back at Conner and yelled instructions. ((By the way, forgot to explain what it looks like. It's like a Coal Mine factory type place with a large structure over the pit that the miners go into. She points up to the structure.))*

"Kill all the men out here. Then head up there and find the conference room. That is the safe room Mr. Gouth will go to after I destroy his helicopter. Be careful."

*She didn't dare run back to kiss him because she didn't think she would be able to turn her power off until everyone was either safe or dead. So, she ran straight for the ground copter, killed the men around it, and melted the thing half to smitherines. Then, she hopped down into the pit where smoke was billowing out of.*

[conner]

*Conner listened to directions and smiled at her.*
You to Nell. Be careful.
*He then started to lift the energy around him and "few" to the tower. He then proceeded to kill any person wearing the guard uniform that he saw on the men that Nelly killed. He killed them the two ways that he could, create a sword like thing out of energy and slice them. Or he could just touch them. He was talking so much energy that the loss of energy would kill them immediately.*

*Nelly landed in the middle of three guards who had heard firing from above. They were dead immediately. Nelly looked around and as more guards ran towards her and died, she noticed all the slaves were in their cells, not working. It wasn't Sunday, the day of 'rest'. It must be lunch time, when most of the guards go have lunch and leave a few to watch the slaves. She walked up to the first cell and the a few of the children inside shied away. Nelly sighed, remembering that feeling, then grew even angrier. She had stopped her power for a second, so she wouldn't hurt anyone if they were near the bars. A guard ran up behind her, yelling as he tried to knock her out. She spun around quickly, catching his arms. She looked at the ground while their arms hung, straining. When she looked up into his eyes, the man started squeeling in pain, pure horror written in his face. He finally went limp and fell to the floor, brown and pink ooze seeping out of his ear and nostrils.*

"I am done with this."

*Nelly ran to the center of the giant room, the cells in the walls. Men ran towards her and she let them get closer. As soon as the last one was out of the hallway, she let loose. But it was more as a wave. First, the skin of the men slipped off, their muscles showing. Then the muscles half melted half dissintegrated. And finally, with only their skeletons standing there, they fell to the floor as tiny particles. The last wave also caught the bars of the cells, creating openings for the people. Nelly fell to the ground, her energy completely depleted, unconscious. A young man and his friend had seen the whole thing and knew this woman had saved them. They got underneath each of her shoulders and dragged her up the hallway as everyone shoved their way above.*

[conner]

* Meanwhile Conner was destroying the tower. Luckily there was lots of electronics around, witch gave off lots of energy. Guards ran towards him and once they were with in a foot of him they instantly collapsed, their energy was drained. Knowing that he was getting hight on energy Conner decided to take out something. He walked into the nearest room and, though dumb luck, it was one of the main control rooms. Shooting pure energy at the men guarding it and at the computer he destroyed that room, and a good portion of its outer wall. He then felt a bit better and continued to the room that Nelly told him about. Coming upon the room Conner saw the man, the man that possibly caused so much pain to Nelly. His anger grew, as did his power. He ran up to the man and started to slowly drain his energy, witch was fairly painful. Conner only knew that it was painful though the screams and yells of the man. Guards ran to his aid but collapsed, all energy drained. Feeling the pain from observing to much energy Conner decided to experiment with his power. Conner started to feed the energy that was in his body into the man. His screams only grew louder, since his body was not supposed to get energy like this. Finally the guy, filled with two much energy, sensed his noise making and grew limp. Conner could feel that he put to much energy into him. He ran to the nearest window and jumped out of it, breaking the glass.*

*As Conner fell to the ground the building started to explode. It started with the level that Mr. Grouth was on. Conner created a plate of energy under him so he could levitate down. he spotted people gathering around, so he went down there. Realizing that he used to much energy Conner leaned up against a wall, once on the ground.*

I need a drink

[nelly]

*The two boys had dragged Nelly above ground and she started regaining consciousness. She stood, thanked the two boys, and barely saw Conner. She ran to him, not knowing if it was safe to touch him. He spoke and Nelly complied. She found a man who she had killed lying on the ground, a water bottle hooked to his belt. She yanked it off and held it for Conner.*

*Nelly then turned to the people and yelled in a commanding voice.*

"Everyone, follow that road. It goes for 4 miles south, hitting the main highway. Return home, but do it quick. We are going to destroy this place once and for all."

*As the people shuffled along, they cheered. The knew she was a mutant, but this evil mutant had just saved them from life of torture; maybe not all mutants were evil.*

*Nelly approached Conner and smiled. It was time to destroy this place.*

"It looks like you need to get rid of some energy. Why not let it out and destroy this whole place? I'll go with the people and get us as far away as you need us to be. Just say the word and it's done."

[conner]

*Conner took the water bottle and drank it. That wasn't exactly what he ment, but he would correct her later. He knew that he had gathered lots and was aking to let it out. He nodded at his beautiful wife.*

Go, get as far as you can, as quick as you can. I'll wait untill I can't hold it in anymore and then I'll just let it all out.

*He was shaking but he held it back, he didn't want Nelly to know that he was tired.*

[nelly]

*Nelly nodded, looked in his eyes, then risked it. She kissed him, hard. Then she stepped back and ran as fast as she could. She came up to the back of the group of people and told them to run faster. It didn't work very well, but they started moving a bit faster. Nelly knew she was pushing them to their limits, since most of them would be starving, but better living and tired than dead. They were finally half a mile away and Nelly looked back. Of course she couldn't see the factory because of the hills, but she knew he was there, struggling. Nelly turned back to the people, many slowing down or stopping completely. Nelly yelled at them, threatening their lives if they didn't keep going. They moved again.*

[conner]

*Conner watched the group, and Nelly, until they were out of sight. Then he started to let it all in.*

Dang I wish I had my Meter

*He was going off of feeling alone. He started to move into the middle of the area. He didn't know what would happen to him but being in the middle would make it easier to get the entire place.*

*Standing there, it felt like a long time. But The time seemed to speed up when three of the last surviving guards surounded him. He smiled. This was perfect, now he could use their energy as well. As they attacked him, he took their energy just by touching them. Once they were dead from the absence of energy Conner knew he was ready. He channaled it all out, all at once. It instantly started to destroy everything. There would be a huge hang hurd from the city. Conner had done it, the place was now just a bunch of shrapenal.*

*Conner was fine, just exhosted. He walked back to where he had left his jacket. suprisingly it was ok. He then put it on and started to walk to the main road.*

I hope we have enought for Irelands strongest

*He was glad Nelly didn't here that, becasue she would probebly never let him drink again. But Conner barly had enough energy to walk, let alone think to much.*

[nelly]

*Nelly heard the explosion and looked back. Nothing. She exhaled. The old woman she had been helping looked up at her and told her to go back to the man. Handing the woman off to another, she started along the path back to Conner. She ran faster than she thought she could. She reached Conner, who was staggering. She ran to him and put his arm over her shoulders, stabilizing him. He looked so exhausted. Luckily, she had called the Irish Police Department with her cell and told them to bring vehicles to take not only the slaves somewhere safe, but get Nelly and Conner out. They had walked but ten feet when a big black van drove up beside them. Officers hopped out and helped the two inside.*

*The two were quickly back in town and after stopping at the Department offices and speaking to them, Nelly made them let the two of them go. She saw that Conner was still so exhausted. Thinking quickly as the two walked out of the building, she led him to the one place she didn't think she would be going during their honeymoon. Inside O'Hara Pub they went. Nelly asked for the strongest thing they had, knowing she had the money to pay for it. She didn't care that she was not a drinker. She was going to soothe the pain of both of them with whatever was available.*

[conner]

*Conner stayed quiet for most of the event. Even the police couldn't get a statement out of him. He decided that he would never again use that much energy, unless it was absolutely nessesary.*

*At the pup Conner was shocked that at what Nelly ordered. He then forced her to look at him and he kissed her. After the fairly long kiss he pulled away.*

You are my angel.

*He was still overly tired and wanted to sleep but he could always go for a drink. He always wanted to try the alchohol in Ireland. They were known for getting drunk.*

[nelly]

*Nelly was surprised Conner had the strength to kiss her like that, but she didn't complain. Interesting how he felt about her getting the alcohol also... The bartender clunked two large pints of something foamy in front of them. Nelly was worried Conner would not have the strength to bring the ale to his mouth, but he suprised her by grabing and drinking it down. A little too anxious maybe? But then again, she was pouring it down her throat as well. She finished hers off and felt the burning sensation on her throat. Almost immediately she felt her brain start to fuzz up. Nelly was not at all resistant to the affects of alcohol. She told the bartender to keep them coming, and so he did.*
