The door opened and a familiar voice from inside could be heard "Come in G9. Do come in, you might find this interesting."
In the room Xion stood with a few other people who were gathered around a table. On top of that table was a miniature fortress which looked like Fort Knox or a kind of military base.
The walls were as usual, decorated with pictures of the different supers, both villains and heroes, and famous scenes involving said supers.
"What you see before you here is a top secret facility known simply as "The Oubliette". Its part-prison, part-military base and part research facility. The researchers are none other then your creators "Genesis" who of course are studying the lone prisoner of the facility in an attempt to recreate his powers. Now, as you already know I am in the middle of gathering superbeings such as yourselves to help me with the coming storm, and I felt that this prisoner would be an excellent candidate. The only question is: How do we send this to him?" Xion leaned over the table.

In one fluid motion, a shadow from one of the models snatched the card from Xion's hand and brought it over to G9. It's yellow eyes narrowed for a second as it studied the map-model that Xion had made and plotted out how it could infiltrate this place alone. No matter how hare it tried, G9 only predicted a 79% chance of success without being spotted if there wasn't some sort of distraction.
The best way would be for me to possess one of the guards and move through here," It pointed at two service hallways. "After that, I would move on in a different body, leaving the other in this ventilation system and continuing through to this point here." G9 pointed at a section of the wall behind the prisoner's cell, "I would then make a hole in the rock that i could slip this card through. Then I would slip out through the back and disappear, leaving two of their personnel comatose and achieving the objective."
G9 took a seat. "Unfortunately, since these are my creators, they might have taken precautions against any such attempt and will very likely be wary of me." It could feel that a few of the others around Xion had super powers. It began to tap away at these powers moderately. "Now Xion, I think you should introduce some of your friends here. They might be... Useful in my plans."

"Right." Kane answered and toyed a bit with his food. He had lost appetite for some reason and couldn't make himself eat another bite. "What would you have done to me if you had found me before this amnesia, while I was still without a heart?" he asked, his voice soft and compelling.

((Aww screw it! I want this show back on the road NOW! Berny may sue me later if I stepped out of line))
"Well Master, seems that you are in luck. Your quiery is no longer blocked by my "Do not talk for more than an hour at the time" filter like your previous quiery fell under." The face smiled at me while I annoyingly thought "Fine. Great! Just GET ON WITH IT!"
Two pictures appeared on the wall. Both were of the same man, but the one on the left seemed more casual than the superhero appearance of the one on the right. Name tags under the pictures said that this was Calamity. "The Catalyst is a device of unknown origins, location and appearance. The first one to find it was Calamity, who at the time was a normal human thief, heck, he was not even a good thief. Who he stole it from and why remains to be answered, but I know that he never used it himself. Chances were that he did not even know what it was used for. But whatever the case, Calamity was soon to be caught by a police officer who later would turn into the superhero Gladius." Pictures of another man now appeared on the wall. Three this time. One where he was in casual cloths, another in police uniform and a third of his superhero outfit.
"After sending Calamity to jail, Gladius returned to Calamity's hideout where he found many stolen items, as well as the Catalyst. Dumb as he was, he started fiddeling with the machine and accidentaly triggered it, turning him into the 'first' super. A short interigation of Calamity would provide him with no answers about the machine and what it was used for, as Calamity was just as shocked as Gladius was about the machines powers. Supered and probably glad, Gladius took the machine and in all secret smuggled it out of the hideout and to some other unknown location, where his friends at the local vigilante group used the machine to turn themselves into a team of Heroes: Paladin, Solara, Dueler, Mystic and Gladius filled the steortypical five man band as the first superhero team in existance and for awhile the city of NC was at peace." I studied the pictures of the different superheroes that had appeared on the wall. Harold Osymard - Paladin. Jennifer Osymard - Solara. Dueler would later become Zero and Mystic was dead. "Paldin, Solara, Dueler, Mystic, Gladius and Calamity. So these were the heroes the Catalyst created? Interesting."
"However, life did not stay merry and good forever, as a criminal would finally get the bright idea about how to strike back at the group. The supervillain, Archon-" a video of an old man who turned into a blue hulk as he started to slaugther scientists appeared "would be born because of interaction with the Catalyst. He sneaked into the heroes hideout, used the Catalyst and killed its current keeper, Mystic before stealing the device. And with that act, a giantic criminal wave would swoop over NC, as the petty thiefs and criminals finally had gotten the courage to stand back up again. For awhile Archon raged throughout the city of NC without any goal or cause other than to break as many laws as possible, it was during this time that Frenzy was created." A video of a man being put into a armored police car by Gladius was shown.
"How Frenzy came in contact with Archon remains a mystery, perhaps he was a henchman of Archon who saw the opportunity to become something more, or perhaps he simply had been a random thief who came in through an open window. No matter reason, the supervillain Frenzy had been born and the crimewaves of NC increased. Archon and Frenzy were never really allies, but the two of them had a common enemy in the heroes so they indirectly helped each other a lot. But Archon was smarter than Frenzy and was able to avoid falling into a trap laid by the heroes to get them both down at the same time. Frenzy did not see the trap coming, so he ended up in a straight up battle with all four of the remaining supers at once, and he lost. He was arrested by the supers and sent to a high security prison where he still is living today." I nodded as the machine took a breath.
"One down. One to go? The heroes probably thought at the time, but just as soon as Frenzy was removed, another supervillain would stand up." The picture that now appeared was one I knew all to well from my study of European Supers. The silvery-blonde, red-haired man named Maleficar was a villain I still dreamed about one day capturing, so that I could finish the work of my hero Siegfried.
"After having nearly brought Stockholm and Sweden to its knees, Maleficar had finally been stopped by the superhero Siegfried and he had been forced to flee the country. Whether it was the challenge or the lure of the superdevice that brought him to NC, the fact that he had gone there to restart his plan for underground domination was indisputable. And for the heroes, Maleficar would prove to be a much bigger threat than Frenzy. This was the hardest time for the Catalyst heroes, as they simply were not able to take down both at the same time, and if they concentrated everything on one of them the other would take the opportunity to launch some big evil plot that made him a bigger threat than the other one. Ack, the downside of being idealistic fools. If you have to sacrifice ten people to save hundred then there should not be any hesitation, now should it master?" The face of the old man looked down at me questionably.
"Yes, yes it should! You either save everyone or you do not save anyone at all! If you decide to do something then don't just do half of the work and call it a day! Their actions during this time is highly understandable and something that should be looked up at! But could you now please skip to the part where Siegfried comes in and helps the heroes defeat Maleficar?!"
"Very well master. As you yourself said, the German hero Siegfried who had previously defeated Maleficar in Sweden came over to NC hunting after his advesary much like yourself. And allying himself with the heroes of NC and with their resources and his knowledge of Maleficar, the group were able to scare Maleficar away from the city with Siegfried in his heels. Since then he has not been seen and Siegfried went back to the ECF(European Confederation) to continue his heroic career." I could not help but smile as I thought back to the first time I heard about Siegfried. Like any other good German kid at the time he was my idol and hero, and I always wished to become just like him. Heh. In retrospect I might actually have achieved that dream.
"With Maleficar gone, the NC heroes had only one target to concentrate on, and so they hunted down Archon and in an epic, and highly destructive battle of supers, they finally defeated him. Not that it really looked like they ever got to arrest him, as Archon was so strong that he almost defeated the heroes. In fact, had it not been for a just-out-of-jail Calamity, the heroes would most definitly have died right there and then! You see, Calamity decided to go steal back the device that had turned the supers into supers, so he located Archon's hideout, stole the device and turned himself into Calamity. So anyway, Archon lost the battle and was forced to make a run for it and the heroes finally reclaimed the Catalyst, which they gave to Dueler for safekeeping. After that, NC finally calmed down again and for a short time, life was good for the five heroes. The only thing that must have been bothering them was the mysterious disappearance of Archon, who never appeared again before the incident I showed you here earlier, where he destroyed Genesis's Equalizer project and 'freed' Miasma and G9." The machine showed me pictures of two shadows who looked extremely familiar to that aura that was around the woman I talked to earlier.
"But peace is boring and this story would be very boring should it become status quo. So enter Nox, the final and least dangerous of the Catalyst villains. Nox was in a nutshell a bank robber and con-artist with superpowers. He was never out for anyones life and he most certainly was no psychopath like Frenzy. Instead he robbed banks, conducted forgery and created a underground criminal empire whose sole purpose was to make money. It however failed missarably and the superheroes quickly sent Nox the message that he should go home. So he disappeared somewhere in the underground and have not been seen since." the face shaked his head "He was rather pathetic. Luckily that was not the end of our story as a mad scientist named Morte would appear with his foster son Xion, who really did not become very important before much later. But I take it you already heard that story."
I nodded in responds.
"....And that would be all, Do the master wish to learn anything else?"
"Well..." I started when I heard the door behind me open and Jack Redfox's voice saying "And here we are at the information bank! Wonderful little device that gathers information and stores it onto an databank that exists below this building. This is the access console, but the main machine is several floors downwards into the earth. Its for its own protection and so that we might not be bothered to be afraid we would accidentaly harm it with anything we do. Aha! I see that The Commissioner is already in full swing using it. Ohh and its none other than Mr. X himself who is the teacher today! How grand!" Mr. Redfox laughed as I took a look up at the old man's face "This is Mr. X?!" I wondered and thought back to his humble speech pattern during his explaination about the Supers and their story. Then compare it to the one he had during the phone conversation. Now that I was thinking about it, it struck me that the voices were similar, but their way of adressing people and speaking to them were very different.
"Mr. Commissioner, I was kind of hoping we could use the console now. Mr. Moore here would like to know more about himself you see. But if you had more questions to the machine, but all means go ahead!" Redfox made a quick bow towards me and the machine "No..? No not really! I have a few more questions, but they can wait provided this machine can remember what it told me." I bowed my head slightly as well. It was a bit hard given the mask, but one must remember to be polite at all times.
"Ohh I can assure you that it will!" Redfox smiled "It is a very sophisticated machine, programmed to resist hacking attempts from even the quickest of minds, Mallard included!" Redfox's smile grew wider as he approached the interface "Save your previous searches to "The Commissioner", and bring them back up again when he speaks to you next time!"
"Understood master Redfox. Explaination saved to Der Kommissar!" The machine closed its eyes and nodded. Jack turned back to Edmund "Now ask your questions Mr. Moore."
"Please provide all information on Edmund Moore, birthdate 11th of July, year unknown." Edmund said
"In a second master, looking it up now." The machine said before a few images of Edmund Moore and characters involved with him appears. "Edmund Francis Roland Moore was born on the 11th of July, 2004 in Fort Wayne Indiana. At least I figure out that he was born in 2004 as he is roughly 22 years old today, give or take a few months, and last time I checked we are in 2026((RP started 2009/2010 and was set 15 years into the future. Now one year has passed so that put us 16 years into the future, which I figure is 2026)). His father was an Australian named Stephen Moore, while his mother was the Irish Keira Donnegan, later changed her name to Moore. Two years later the family moved to New Constantinopel where his parents still live.
Edmund went to regular New Constantiopel primary and High school and he was accepted at the New Constantinopel University of Letters after being declined scholarship in Notre Dame University. He graduated High School with honors in geography, history and English Literature, but he had low grades in Mathematics. In the University of Letters, Edmund followed the courses of history, religion and archeology and seemed to aspire to become an archeologist." The machine took a short breather again, something which I found weird, seeing as it was an machine and all.
"In High School Edmund Moore had a romantic relationship with Amber Eckkart and got on the bad side of many teachers as he did many pranks, the most notable one being when he stole a teachers math test and sold copies to the students, however it was never proven." The machine smirked for a bit before going dead serious "Edmund Moore went missing 3 and a half year ago, when he and one of his archeology professors went on a dig in Austria. Both he and his professor never returned from the dig, and the last known mail sent from him was a letter to his girlfriend. After that all records of Edmund Moore ends and his legal status as 'dead' or 'alive' is unknown." The machine stopped for a bit and its expression suggested that it weighted the possibility of saying something more.
"But do not be disheartened master, because I have my theories as usual. Now I got no real proof for this and to tell the truth finding out more about this has always been a lower priority than saving the world from certain individuals, but there is a possibility that Edmund was one of the 'volunteers' for the European Confederation's Draco Project. However as said before, I lack any proof to back my theory up. Heck, I don't even know what the project is and what its purpose is, or even if ECF are the ones behind it!" The face look down in shame "I am a failure! A complete and utter failure! I call myself an information broker yet I cannot tell you what a top-secret science project is doing on the other side of the world right now! Nor do I know anything about an individual who mysteriously disappeared in Austria! Yet I dare sprout nonsense about how he might have been kidnapped for an experiment! I AM A FAILURE!" The machine started to cry just as Jack Redfox ran up to the console and pressed the "OFF" button.
The hologram disappeared and Jack turned to the gargoyle and myself "Sorry about that! Mr. X can be a bit touchy sometimes when it comes to information he lacks, and he unfortuantly enough, implemented that part of his personality into the machine." Jack sighed as I turned to the gargoyle.
"So was that the answer you were looking for?" I asked in a concerned tone.

Edmund pondered a moment on what he had heard. Many things seemed very familiar, but not everything.
"It certainly helps."
Edmund gave both Redfox and the Commisar a friendly nod. Or as friendly as one could appear with his physique.
"Now if you will excuse me, I need to check up on a few things in town. I'll return shortly, Mr. Fox. I am gratefull that I may stay here for the time being. Even though I may not exactly qualify as a member. Good night to you, Herr Commisar."
Edmund left the room and made his way up to the roof.

Melony seriously considered what Kane said for a while. You would be dead, dead, dead. Any questions? Miasma hissed. (Not out loud)
Melony rolled her eyes and came to her own conclusion. The, usually delicious, food seemed... No longer appealing. "Probably slapped you. Hard. And repeatedly. And then I would have moved on. You wouldn't have cared about me enough to even talk to me... You proved that a few years ago. Yet another reason why I'm glad that you changed." She put down her bread again. "You know, this question string seems to be pretty one-sided, since I can't really ask you anything since you don't remember anything that you haven't already told me."

"Good night to you too Edmund." I took out my hat and bowed before turning back towards the machine "Now...where was I?"
The next morning
After getting a good nights sleep I finally was up and running again. Yesterday had been interesting, getting a lot of answers and all, but I have other stuff to do. Deciding that it was to much hassle to make myself breakfest I took a look out of the window and saw an Italian resturant right across the road.
"That could be a good place." I thought as I put geared up.
soon after
I was met with a form of silence as I walked into the resturant((somehow I miss-spell this word)), but after a quick look around I saw a unoccupied table and walked over to it. The table was well placed, almost in the corner with nothing but a wall behind my seat. There also were no neighbours other than a couple who-
"Wait a second!" I thought "Isn't that? It is isn't it? Jack Kane and Melony. Two of the other members of our little 'anti-villain alliance'." I smiled and took my hat off in a greeting towards them right before I sat down at my table.
"Good morning." I said casually like one would say to someone one just met "Lovely weather, ey?"

"I am sorry, I didn't see it that way." Kane answered, looking away and smiling. "Think I can figure out what Miasmas answer was though."
He winked at her. "Wanna get out of here? You don't seem to enjoy the food either. I'll just bring a few pieces of the strawberry cake with me and we'll be on our way." he cut up a few pieces and put them inside a small plastic box he had in his jacket. "Prepared for every situation." he said to explain why he carried plastic boxes with him.

"It's alright, Jack. I was only feeling sorry for myself, I guess." Melony told him. "Sure let's leave."
She took his arm and they were about to walk away when the Commissioner greeted them. "Oh, hello..."
I think he called himself the German word for commissioner? Miasma offered.
"Um... Hello again!" Melony called cheerfully, not quite sure that Miasma was right.

Edmund had made his way to the cathedral again, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. He dared not fly there, as his wings were still painfull and the winds were strong tonight. The risk of dislocating his wings a third time was to great for his tastes.
Edmund returned to the belltower that had been the closest thing he had to a home for several months. As usual, there was a plate of food on the table and the envelope still lay on there as wel.
In the club, Edmund had grabbed a pen and tucked it behind his belt. He landed at the table and took the envelope.
Quote:
Gratefull for the help you have given me over the past months, I must take my leave. May the Lord bless you for your samaritan efforts.
- the Pilgrim
Edmund left the food untouched. He did not feel hungry tonight even though he had not eaten since the morning.
He left again.
Edmund had a nagging feeling ever since he met the other 'supers'. The term was ambiguous and unaccurate, but that was not what mattered now. He had learned several things in that meeting.
Greates of which was that Ouroboros was indeed a dangerous psychopath. And for some reason or another Ouroboros was interested in Mona. Edmund could not fathom why, but it was certain that it did not spell anything good for Mona. Edmund had to make sure that the maniac did not come back for her later. He had to check if she was still safe. He owed her that much for helping him recover part of his past.
Edmund had gone back to the park and retraced his walk to the building that held Mona's flat. It was now late at night. And like New York, New Constantinople never slept. However, New Constantinople was only half-awake in the late night. The streets were virtually abandoned. Edmund considered what he should do. Simply walking into the building was not realy an option.
However the building had several fire-escapes. Edmund figured he should use those first, to try to peer into the appartements.
After several tries without being spotted, Edmund found Mona's appartement. She was sitting on a couch, watching tv. Unlike the other appartements he peered into, Mona spotted Edmund.
Through the window, Edmund heard the muffled shriek she emitted when Mona spotted him. However she was quick to recover and came over to the window. She opened it.
"What are you doing ?" She asked, slightly annoyed and perhaps still not quite recovered from the initial shock.
"I'm sorry for scaring you like that. I wanted to make sure you were safe." Edmund responded.
"Oh, yeah, that. Well, you can see I'm still safe here at home."
"I am glad for that. I feared that maniac from the park might have returned."
Mona's face contorted, "Oh, right. That's a scary thought."
"The last thing I want is to worry you, but I still do not know what he wanted from you."
"Well, uh.... I'm not exactly the ugliest girl in town?" Mona was making a stab in the dark.
Edmund chuckled. "That's certainly true, but I doubt that is the reason Ouroboros is interested in you."
"Oh, well, I can't think of anything else. So, uh, do you, like wanna come in? It's kinda cold outside." Mona offered.
"That's awefully kind, I have some more things I need to do tonight." Edmund responded gratefully. "But I would love to do it another time. There is still a lot I don't remember from my past."
"Oh, uh, what are you doing tomorrow night?" Mona responded cheerfully. Something Edmund thought a little strange.
"Not much."
"Great, uh, I 'spose I'll have to work a double shift at the diner tomorrow cause I skipped today's one. Uh, how about 22:00?"
"That suits me fine, I'll be here at 22:00."
"On the fireescape?" Mona asked quizically.
"I think that's best. I'm not one for using the front door."
"Oh right. 22:00 it is then."
"I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye." Edmund said as he turned. Mona closed the window.
Edmund returned to the Dead Men Walking club in the wee hours of the night.

Kane gave a short smile in greeting and raised an eyebrow. "Really, wanna talk about the weather?" he said, smiling slightly. "What a coincidence you should happen to come to this specific resturant. You're not following us, I hope."

"No I am not following you." I laughed and pointed through the window that faced towards the street "That building. I live there in apartment 5. This was the closest place for me to get food. Usually I would make one myself but I did not feel like it."
I noticed that the pair was standing "Leaving already? Damn, here I thought I might have someone to talk to...unless you would allow me to accompany you? It is not like I have anything better to do per now..." I took up the police radio I had 'borrowed' earlier "...as nothing interesting happens and I don't really know anyone in the city."

"Sure!" Melony answered before Kane or Miasma could find any excuse to disclude the hero. "Come on!" She grabbed him by the elbow and dragged them both out of the restaurant.
Um... We forgot to pay for the meal...

I did not complain or make any attempt to resist getting dragged out of the resturant, even if I had not eaten breakfest, because I now felt like getting a wurst. If such things are sold here in America anyway. A quick look around revealed no place to get such food however.
"Hmmm..." I looked at Kane and Fletcher "...Do any of you know a place where I might buy a wurst? Got to eat something. And, what is that expression? 'What's up?'"

"Wurst?" hot dog "Oh! I see what you mean. Yes, you can get a hot dog in that stand right over there." She pointed at a brightly colored stand next to the road. "I think that 'What's up' is up to Jack right now. What are we going to do?"

"Ohh I see!" I looked over at the stand. It read 'Hot dogs' "Is that what you call it over here?" I turned around to the woman and made my voice express confusion "Warm hounds? Who translated wurst to 'warm hounds' or 'Hot dogs'!?" I shaked my head "Anyway I'll be right back."
I walked over to the stand "One wur-Hot dog, please."
"What's with the get-up dude? Carnival anywhere?" The man behind the stand asked me.
"Nevermind the get-up, just tell me how much it costs and what I could get on it." I answered annoyingly while getting out my wallet.
A minute or two later
I walked over to Jack and Melony with the wurst in hand. Now to eat it. There always would be trouble eating something with my mask on "Hold this." I said and handed out the wurst to one of the two before taking a quick look around. Seemed like nobody was paying attention, not that it was really vital whether or not they did anymore, but I liked to remove my mask while no one was looking. So as quickly as I could, which is quite quick considering how long I have lived with it, I removed the gasmask.
"Thank you. Now, about what we were going to do...Well, I have no really good ideas or plans for anything right now. But if anything comes up I could always rush off to fight evil." I smiled as I started eating the wurst.

"Well there's always the machine mob to find and beat on a bit." Kane answered and placed himself between Melony and the german-sounding person, making it look like a casual act. "And if you know how to find a person named Archon, an old supervillain, I would be grateful. He has come back, and we are to stop him. We want him alive, see, cause we don't like killin people. We're good guys now."
He smiled brightly. "What do you say about that, sounds nice?"

"Aye! Sounds nice." I finished the last of the wurst "Archon, huh? I learned about him yesterday. Apperantly he was the original supervillain. Killed Mystic, caused mayhem, took four train superheroes and one newly made super to beat him the first time, just took a bunch of shadows the second... Glad we got one of those shadows with us this time around then." I smiled and nodded to the woman "Mr. X's machine said that you are the host of Miasma, a entity created by Genesis. Is that correct?" I took up the gasmask and for a moment considering not to take it on again. I took a look around "How long has it been since I had not needed to be afraid to remove this thing and reveal my face?" I wondered out loud, incredibly enough in English.

"Yes, the doctors of Genesis created me. They also tried to destroy me, but that is entirely beside the point. And judging from the tan line of your face... five to seven years. Give or take three months." Miasma replied. "And unlike you or Mr. Kane here, I have no problem killing the man who butchered my species, many of them created with my own body. Though," It flinched a little, "I think that he could have killed one more..."
"It means G9, of course. And we aren't killing anybody, Miasma. As Jack said," She held Kane by the elbow and placed her head on his shoulder, "We're the good guys now. We don't kill unless they force us to."
Suddenly, Melony jumped forward. "Alright, enough talking and lazing around today, let's go hunt some villain behind! Or... Something like that..." People had looked at her when she made that exclamation and Melony had always hated public speeches.

Edmund had gone to sleep in the observation room as Redfox suggested. He had managed to sink his tallons into the railing of an observation platform. He had slumbered lighty for the remainder of the night.
He woke up when the first sunlight spilled through the windows. The room was rather chilly and Edmund dropped down to the floor.
Redfox had insisted on giving him a small tour before heading to the information-bank. Edmund was now glad for that, as he wanted to take a hot shower. It would have been his first shower in over a year, not counting the rain he had stood in over that period.
Edmund stepped into one of the booths and automaticaly he started to take of his belt. But stopped just as quick, as that would be fruitless. While he could take off his belt, his trousers, if one could call them that, could not be taken off for the brass anklets he wore. The anklets were solid and he could not take them off, just as the bracelets that held on his gloves.
Edmund decided to take the shower with his clothes on.
Later, when he had finished his shower and had dried himself. He went looking for Redfox. He still had some questions regarding the Dead Man Walking Club.
