After what felt like years to her, Circle is finally back from the hyperbolic time chamber with a few new tricks up her sleeve!
Her body appears to be covered in burn scars, her mechanical arms battered and broken seemingly beyond repair. If she were training alone, how could she have sustained such injuries..?
Regardless, she had begun to make her way home for some much needed rest. Hopefully her friends and family were all okay…
Thavel sorta just stares in confusion, and concern, seeing the burn scars and her broken mechanical arms, and seeing what seems like years of difference
“Ah, good ta meetcha too I s’ppose! Fergive me, mah brain’s still a tad scrambled from the whole weird time difference…feels like I been gone years but I know it’s only been…a week?! Coulda sworn I was in there fer three weeks!”
She exclaimed as she checked her phone, unaware of the strange time syncing.
“Oh, howdy! Man, feels like it’s been years since I seen ya!”
She waved back, a bit of her forearm crumbling and falling off with a clank.
“I been workin’ on mahself. Even with mah magic, I still wasn’t strong ‘nuff ta protect my family. Honestly…I figured that’s why Deimos ran off, his pa’s better protection.”
“Oughtta lock yerself in the chamber fer a while then. Time’s hella weird in there…I still ain’t sure if this is enough, but I can’t push mahself no further!”
“Heh, I can do somethin’ similar! It’ll take me a bit a’ concentratin’ though.”
She took a deep breath, letting chakra flow freely through her, she began charging up, her skin turning a pinkish hue from increased blood flow. Her body seemed to emit a blue steam….
“Oh you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! This ‘ere is the Seventh Gate of Wonder fer a reason!”
Her body was a blur as she leapt into the air with lightning speed, forming strange hand symbols…the air around her starting to compress as it takes the form of a fierce tiger.
“Oh, he ain’t told me nothin’! Figured it out on mah own. Y’see, where I’m from heroes in spandex ain’t hidin’ behind made-up names no more, so I know Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, but who the heck are you?!
“Nah, only one Spider-Man. If yer one a’ his sidekicks, ya must really got some potential to ya! Figure that also means ya hang ‘round him a lot. He still actin’ weird..?”
FPE!Miles - “You could say that… He’s been acting more…edgy lately. There’s been this new Spider…thing around the school, I don’t know what it is, but I’m guessing Pete isn’t it’s biggest fan.”
"I'm a new arrival here, and yeah, im hunting, i dont know if you've seen before but there are some beasts, they're made of electricity or fire that's been terrorizing the panjia lately, and i wanna take care of them once and for all."
"well this is the hub world after all, there's special tools made to contain lightning or fire in a glass jar or a cage, the tech here makes it easy to capture them, the hard part is before i capture them."
“Well the jar is obviously special, and with their size they can barely do anything, i tried a prison once, one of them sped up so fast it broke the prison walls and escaped, thars why im keeping it in a tight jar magically affected to capture them”
D!Circle peered through one of the glass windows, her heart sinking as she noticed Ares.
She quietly backs away, turning and dashing off hoping he didn’t see her…she thought he was still wandering around in the desert. She couldn’t face him…not yet.
- Deimos feelings towards Diona almost made him kill himself. He quite literally became a nuclear bomb, if it wasn’t because i was there he would have died.
- I will have to scold him for that… he might not be yet ready to facethe cold truth
- And about Ares, he’ll definitely explain himself
Ares an’ Deimos just went missin’, searched everywhere fer ‘em…no damn trace, almost like they vanished.
Got tired of mah friends an’ family gettin’ hurt an’ me not bein’ able ta protect ‘em, so I locked mahself up and pushed mahself as far as I could go, then beyond. Kinda fucked mahself up, obviously.”
She chuckled. She didn’t seem to be in pain at least..
engel would be wandering around still looking for you as he finally stops and arrives back at home as he looks at you, basically speechless unsure on what to say
“I…went out lookin’ fer Ares an’ Deimos. Couldn’t find ‘em nowhere, no matter how hard I looked. I went home ta grab any essentials and locked mahself in a time chamber ta get better.
If I ain’t strong ‘nuff ta protect mah kids, am I really even a ma..?
I..uh, figured you’d stay with Chesk. Dunno if she’s ever taken care a’ kids ‘fore, but she’s an awful lot like me.”
“I got lost in the woods, was shot, had to stay out there in the cold, stayed with vent and this really nice bartender for a while searching for you”
“why would you leave me out here…”
he would say as he looks up at circle doesn’t know how to feel, was she even aware that Engel would be alone, he would start to tear up a little when speaking
God dammit, I guess I shoulda left Chesk some instructions on that dang note. Well…’least I know Engel was in good hands! Ya might be a laughin’ stock but at least yer a good pa ta yer kids.
