Martian vs Goblin Part 2
a freeze and a snow storm brews.
What have they created?
TIME: 0000
That night, Veronica stayed in the woods until dawn, just watching the building and avoiding the men with search dogs. She was shivering cold, teeth chattering as she held herself in her own embrace. She was afraid, nervous, and wasn't sure of what to do. She impulsively left her best friend behind, thinking she could get help. Hoping she could get to help.
It seemed she had these newfound abilities that she was quite curious about. She wanted to know so many things, had tons of questions, but, that night... just before dawn. Veronica traveled what appeared to be extremely far through the damp, cold forest. She didn't know where she was, however, she knew how long she was in the transport van and it wasn't exceedingly long. The green-haired girl was filthy when she finally reached a road to somewhere. Soon enough, an older woman pulled over and insisted she give her a ride home. Turned out the center was only thirty miles away from where Veronica and Tyler lived.
TIME: 0700
Once home, Veronica sprinted across the grassy field to the building she lived in with her Mama, Father, and Brother. When she got there nobody was home so she ran and hid in her closet, the only thing she wanted to do at that very moment was cry, and that is exactly what she did. Sobbing for what could've been hours. The young punk suddenly began to see things moving in the bold black. She was making it even darker than it already was in the small space, controlling anything that was touched by her darkness. Time went on slowly and she began to discover many things about herself, even understanding and using the knowledge to move from shadow to shadow and how to be completely invisible within it.
Eventually, she fell into a deep slumber while waiting for her family to return home. Figuring they wouldn't care nor believe her and she would be forced to take matters into her own hands. Tyler was her best friend, growing up together they protected each other's necks. Veronica was feeling guilty for leaving him behind, and she hoped he would understand why she did what she did. Everything was happening so fast and it was a very confusing time. She saw an opportunity to escape, so, she took it and if she hadn't, maybe they both would be stuck there; having experiments being done on their sensitive bodies. -Perhaps even deceased by now.
TIME: 2200
By the time her family arrived home, she was hibernating in the closet. Feeling safe and comfortable in the darkness she had created inside of it.
Awakening, the tough girl came out and rushed to her mama, trying to explain what happened, where Tyler was, what was happening to him; and that they had been kidnapped. Her mother was trashed already with a track-line; her father left the minute they got home. Her mama just brushed her off with a wave of her hand. Of course, she didn't believe her, nor care. Veronica knew this would happen, so she went to her older brother Jared instead, he would believe her.
Jared went directly to his room and shut the door and locked it the minute they got home. He didn't say a word to anyone, not even his sister. Veronica wondered what was going on with him, but that would have to wait until she spoke to him about what happened. The worried girl went to her brothers' room and knuckle tapped three times on the upper part of his bedroom door. It was a code between them type of knock. He got up from his bed and unlocked the door and opened it, allowing Veronica to pass by before closing it and locking the door once again. Jared then went back to what he was doing, which was just lying in his bed, staring at the wall.
“Jared, I need to talk to you.” she said and he looked over at her, taking in a deep inhale as he knew very well that Veronica got into trouble often and what had she done now. It was impossible sometimes for him to help her. As they got older, he knew she was sick in the head but was a good person overall and he loved her like a brother should love his younger sister.
Veronica began to go on and on, telling him every single thing she could remember about that day. How the people in the biohazard suits came rushing out of the vehicles and kidnapped them. How they were strapped down and what these doctors explained to them. She even tried to explain the new powers she somehow became equipped with. The punk even realized she could see things by holding objects. Of course, all of these new things required concentration, which in her case was hard sometimes. After all, her racing thoughts and flight of ideas were always out of control. She refused to take her medication and ignored her therapists' instructions.
Just as she thought, her brother did believe her. He usually did unless she was just completely off the wall. What really made him believe her was the file she showed him from the institution.

Subject#4FB: Veronica Blackwood (Martian)
Psychometric power: - the ability to discover facts about an event or person by touching inanimate objects associated with them.

By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but by accessing a dimension of dark energy it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the beings that exist there, create and dispel shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs and weapons, teleport one's self through massive distances via shadows, etc.
Subject#4FC: Tyler (Ty Ty) Johnson (Goblin)
Telekinesis: - is a psychic ability allowing a person to influence a physical system without physical interaction.
Thermokinesis: - create, control, and manipulate heat.
Pyroportation: can teleport via fire, merging into a flame of any size and appearing anywhere else from the same element.
Force-Field Generation: can create a shield, wall, or a field formed from energy, elements, the environment, or by manipulating smaller items to form a greater whole.
Jared told her that it sounded like some science fiction type movie and she explained that the information was correct. She could really do those things, but, she left before being able to see if Ty could use his or not. She worried for her friend, she felt guilty and that it was her duty to get him out of there and expose the place for what it really is.
TIME: 2315
Veronica fell asleep in Jared's room, he was looking through the file and realized it has a date for them to battle. This made him wonder how much more had been done to him since his sister escaped. He may not be the same person that she knows. He knew very well that Veronica was planning on going back to get him, he just knew her that well. He also knew she did not want any form of law enforcement or government type to be involved. She was constantly in trouble with the law and they more than likely would either blow her off or throw her into a behavioral center somewhere.
A realization came to him and he woke up his sister. “Veronica, you need to know that Ty Ty may not be the same guy we know and love when you go to this place.” he said as she rubbed her eyes, waking back up. “Don't worry about it Jared, I don't care... I need my Ty Ty back and that place is gone and that will become true soon enough.” she replied and he closed the file, dropping it on his nightstand and turning out the light. “Sleep in here tonight V, who knows what Felix is up to.” he said and they both slipped off to sleep.
TIME: 0215
Later, Veronica awoke in a cold sweat, not remembering if she was having a nightmare or not but suddenly she just had the urge. It was time to go and it was time to go now. Looking over to her sleeping brother, she half-smiled. He always believed in her, even though she put him through so much hell. He always picked up her pieces and tried to put them back together again. As if he were doing a 1000 piece puzzle and he was trying to glue the pieces together that didn't fit correctly. Veronica was not like normal girls, she knew that everyone knew that.
Feather-light footsteps helped her float across her brothers' room and over to the window. It was already unlocked so she quickly got it open and disappeared into the dark, cold winter night. The snow was falling softly, she wasn't prepared at all and it didn't bother her. She felt hot, she felt steaming hot as unique snowflakes landed on the exposed flesh and melted instantly steam rising; running as fast as she could across the empty courtyard. Absolute nobody was around on this night, it was freezing outside and the snow had been falling gently all day long.
Making it to a bushy area about 5 miles away from her home she found an entrance and trail into the woods that would eventually lead her right where she wanted to be. She could have used her abilities, but she needed her strength and mind power surely to be able to get Tyler out of there. Veronica as nervous as ever and had a gut feeling things were not going to go smoothly. It wasn't going to be just her walking in, grabbing Ty Ty and leaving, burning the place down on the way out. She knew it and was preparing herself mentally for it. She would be underestimated like normal and she would have to prove that she was stronger than people thought. Everyone considered her weak; for everyone that knew what went on in her household of abuse, neglect, and rape.
TIME: 0400
It took her a good while to find the area she was in while she waited and read through the file that night. But once she found it, memories came flooding back and her upper lip snarled. She was angry and was ready to kill anyone that got in her way. Scanning around, the darkness of the early morning hours held good for her as she would be invisible to the naked eye. This wasn't something she needed to concentrate on, it could happen easily if she wanted it to. Veronica would need to try to keep her thoughts on track, on the prize, on the reason she was there and not think about random things, music lyrics finding their way into her mind would ruin her jumps or formations, even her visions.
Crouched down in the brush, her hues scanned the area and did not see a soul around, she felt nobodies heat coming from anywhere close by. That made her think of Ty, his abilities that she read about in the file. He could control fire, why hadn't he escaped himself? So many questions have gone unanswered but soon she would know.
TIME: 0430
Estimated Sunrise at 0600
On her hands and knees, she crawled past the treeline, staying down extremely close to the ground. It was freezing and she forgot her gloves, her hands were numb already. Veronica should have prepared, she was going to, but for some reason, something just told her that the time was now, tonight was the night she would break him out.
Creeping up close to the building, she laid upon her belly on the ground as she heard whispers nearing and then shortly afterward them fading away. Her heart was beating rapidly within her chest, it was so loud, she could hear it herself. Swallowing hard with her hues open wide, she cleared her mind and focused on getting on the inside of the structure. Veronica moved into a shadow near a window on the side of the construction, the blinds were open; how strange she thought to herself, maybe they knew she was coming. Paranoia set in, it could very well be a trap, but, if it was they were in for a real treat.
Peeking into the window she saw the perfect opportunity to get inside, a nice sized shadow from a curtain on another window. Seemed they were trying to make some décor decisions for the Research center, how dumb she thought. She used the shadow she had her eye on and jumped. She really should have prepared.
Eventually, she climbed up into the ceiling and on all fours, searched for Ty. There were workers walking around everywhere. Wearing white lab coats and carrying their little clipboards. She rolled her eyes seeing anyone other than whom she wanted to see.
Coming up to the room they both were held in before her escape, there he was. The room, however, was not the same, it was much different. Thick walls of steel and bulletproof glass, much more protection these people needed from him. Furrowing her brows, she had to see him, she just had to.
Inching closer to being completely above the room, she peeked through a crack and there he was in her view. He looked the same to her, the same as he did when she abandoned him there. Still being restrained by the wrists and ankles, but, by some alien-looking type of material instead of the normal leather straps. What was going on now? What happened to him while they were apart? As curious as she was, Veronica had to find out.
TIME: 0515
The brave girl waited, tired herself she noticed Tyler had fallen asleep... she also noticed his file on the counter. She had to get her hands on that file. Veronica removed a ceiling tile and lowered herself down into his room. She stood in the smallest of shadows, remaining unseen. She reached and snatched the file, opened it up, and began reading.

TIME: 0530
After reading the file, she realized she had much more power than she thought and so did Tyler. This was so crazy, maybe it was just a dream, some wild dream she couldn't awaken from. Perhaps it was Veronica's Psychosis playing it's a dirty trick of illusion again. But, it was real, at least she felt like it was real. She was actually doing these things, her best friend was right there being held in bed.
Closing the file she held onto it by rolling it up and tucking it down her right pant leg, it would stay put and not show too much. Veronica stood there inside of a shadow for a moment, thinking, wondering, getting furious by the second. Anger was so overwhelming that these liars did this to them, just some kids that weren't hurting anybody. Just some motherf***ing kids.
TIME: 0555
How to get him out of there she wondered, he couldn't do the same things as her, they would have to cause some damage on the way which was what she intended on doing in the first place. Every single person other than her and Tyler had to die, she didn't care about their families or friends, they took them without caring how this would affect them.
Just about to step out of the darkness, and a few men came running. Opening the door and coming inside the room with each of them holding syringes filled with a neon green liquid. Veronica's orbs widened. She had to stop them from giving him those. Whatever it was didn't belong inside of him and she would kill each and every one of the men.
TIME: 0600- Sunrise
The clock hit six in the morning and Tyler suddenly opened his eyes and began to growl and thrash in his bed. He blew fire from his mouth like a dragon but it didn't go very far. The men jumped back and Veronica couldn't believe her eyes; seeing an electric charge jolting around his restraints. It was amazing, to say the least, but she had to stop these men and release him.
Fleeing from the darkness she showed herself and the three men and Tyler all looked at her, surprised and shocked to see her there. Tyler didn't calm down like she thought he would, he continued to blow fire and his body began to steam. The men screamed No and Veronica didn't know why they were saying it.
Quickly using her ability to bring forth darkness so she may twist off his restraints and both of them can escape. The room turned completely black, though his flames made a bright orange and red glow within its matter. She gasped, he wasn't supposed to be able to lighten the darkness at all, the men couldn't see this but Veronica and Tyler could.
Veronica did what she was to do anyway and removed all four of his restraints and a shock collar from his neck. Instantly Ty Ty leaped from his bed on top of her and began blowing fire in her face like a blow torch. Suddenly water blocked her body and face, absorbing her into it and pooling upon the floor. Tyler became frustrated at this witchery and he stomped around the room, the H2o moved back into the shadows of the room. Her darkness lost as soon as her attention on it was taken away by the tackle from Tyler.
Ty Ty then turned to face the men, throwing fire at them; breathing flames. They became ablaze and ran around the room screaming. Veronica could hear their cries and could smell their burnt hair and flesh. Soon bone fell into ashes upon the tile floor.
Veronica stayed in hiding. “Tyler Johnson.” she yelled, unable to be seen by him. He could feel the coolness as she stood there drenched in water in the shadows. “Tyyyyyyy Tyyyyyy!” she laughed and jumped to another shadow just outside of the door of his room. She waved and he saw her and growled, snarled upper lip and he came charging for the door. She didn't understand why he was acting like he didn't know her. Maybe they wiped his memory, who knew what they had done to him while she was gone.
Quickly, she began to run just as Tyler busted through the glass of the door and threw a fireball down the hall, barely missing her as the hallway turned to the right. “Ty Ty no!” she hollered and jumped into a nice shadow at the end of the hall. She stopped, waited for him to come chasing after her and as soon as he got close enough she jumped out on top of his back.
Tyler spun around with Veronica clinging to him. “Tyler Johnson it is V, this is V!” she chanted into his ear and suddenly collapsed herself into water. Covering his entire body, putting out his anger. He stopped, stood with a look of confusion upon his features. She then reformed and stood before him and startled him, he punched her in the face-busting her lip. “Veronica?” he muttered, and she nodded, trying to keep it together. People would be coming soon looking for them, shifts probably changed at seven in the morning.
Both of them stood there staring at each other, breathing heavily and just a complete mess. “V!” he said with excitement in his voice and he grabbed her and hugged her tight. “Ty Ty, no time... we have to get out of here right now!!! Now!!” she demanded and he nodded in agreement. Tyler and Veronica took off, him burning a hole in the wall so they jumped right out of it. As they escaped, they turned to face the building and then looked at each other. “Burn it down!” she said with a grin and Tyler caught the place on fire. They then both ran off into the unknown together.
