"Elemental beings..? Than I hardly see the need to enlist me in your grand escapade... my powers aren't exactly elemental control. Gasses and vapors are more among the lines of states of matter, no?" Vapor looked over the other, making use of his one good eye. His hair still a bit damp from his~

"No catch. And any men are more than none. I just need you to be open about elemental beings. That's what i hire." 《He said with a smirk. Stepping closer to the other as the rain poured yet somehow, this man still looked immaculate》

"You overestimate my current level of recruitment capabilities... Many of my men have defected, there's only a handful left still willing to follow my lead." Vapor cautiously looked over the other and let out a gentle chuckle. Although it seemed devoid of joy. "It sounds like it comes with~

Azarath Ignium@villainousendevour.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"Ah yes. I need more forces for my endevoures I will provide you and your men with weapons, and we become. A joint adventure. How does that sound?" 《He didn't mind. He was exentric enough for the both of them ✨️》

Vapor listened intently as the other spoke. However, his cold and emotionless demeanor did not shift in the slightest. "Flattery is a fools game, my friend... just get to the point of why you've contacted me. Surely it wasn't just to idly chat, hm?" Seems recent events have had a rather lasting~

Azarath Ignium@villainousendevour.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Your position. I lead my own research and my own elemental army." 《He spoke. His voice still oh so sweet and savory. Ringing out above all the thunder and lightning. Nobody else could hear them or see them for that matter.》

Curiously enough, Vapor had been out in the storm itself. He'd never been one to shy away from a vicious rain storm, especially not since he'd gotten his powers. If anything in the heart of a storm is where he felt the most at peace. However, this peace would not last for much longer. As with a~

Azarath Ignium@villainousendevour.bsky.social · 7mo ago

To you." 《The man spoke. His voice and words were intocixatingly sweet. Sultry and much more. This man knew his way into hearts and more.》

"So, there are speedsters other than trackstar..? How interesting..."

[ @riddingthewave.bsky.social ] Avid's cell would've been silent if not for the static raging on within. Suddenly, several speakers near the ceiling of his concrete cell flicked to life with Vapor's voice. "That static is growing so tedious to listen to... I'd really appreciate it if you would~

Vapor let out a small chuckle to himself, sitting in the private section of his lair. He sat on a small bench in front of the grand piano he used to relax and plan out his schemes. With a stretch of his arms and a crack of his knuckles, he began to play a small tune called Carmen Overture.

“𝗜 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻. 𝗔𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸...“

He's more concerned with his immediate plans at the moment. After all, what good is toying with the masses if you don't lead the charge yourself? Until the final bomb was taken offline and James was captured or killed? He wouldn't put many resources towards such devices, instead relying on~

Blue Dream@bluedreamrp.bsky.social · 8mo ago

He should be checking his proximity radar if he has one~

"Four of eight bombs have been taken offline. How curious... with only two hours remaining to detonation, I wonder if they'll manage to find the rest."

"Probability is a tricky game, but me?" Vapor let out a gentle chuckle before a sick smile overtook his visage, sickening to the bone. The smile of a man with no remorse or care. "I'm feeling pretty lucky, so why not try a little gambling~ sit tight, Radio Boy. I have an announcement to make." ~

"Tsk. If you think he'll limit himself now that you've played your card of hurting me. Who's to say he didn't snap and let his code go? You clearly aren't prepared for every possibility, and it shows. After all." 《He leaned into the others' faces.》 "I was the best informant. Still fucking am~"

"I'm an opportunist, Avid. I saw in you what I loved to see in my soldiers, obedience, desperation, and an urge to prove oneself. In James, I saw what I loved in a lieutenant. Rageful, simple to lead on, and the best part? Knowing he wouldn't kill me even if he wanted to, why do you think I~

Avidia the host.@riddingthewave.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Just. Deprecation.》

That was enough to make Vapor audibly growl as he would let go of Avid's hair. Standing up and dusting off his sleeves before taking a moment to breathe. "Perhaps long ago, but those feelings have long since passed. Replaced with less than savory thoughts, I can share some of said thoughts if~

"You should have studdied my alliances better vapor.~ you. Dont. Know. Shit." 《He was still grinning ear to ear. Stretching out the stitching. Before the others words sank in.》 "Wait. Hold the fucking radio. YOU. liked. ME BACK THAN???" 《His bam has been boozled.》

BEACON IS ON. The gate has opened... and the clank of metalic feet ensue... he has summoned the cavalry, but not all of it, only his elite. 500 Fortress pattern Terminators have entered the fight... and now... Now he's going for the position he catched, that SDN's location in the private beach. +

"I still have no idea what I used to see in you two... A brash impulsive gangster and a two-bit radio host who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Quite the combination, I must admit." Vapor's grip on the others' hair didn't falter. If anything, it seemed to tighten as Avid's words struck~

Avidia the host.@riddingthewave.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Aint complaining. Imagine that. Ghalf of torrance suddenly knows of the black circles existance in two hours. They'll know who to hunt down."

《Tick. Tick. Tick. 0 minutes remain. Uploading message. Static over the radio waves until each and every station cuts out. Before a familair voice exhoes through all of torrance.》 "Hello, people of torrance. You may know me as avidia, the radio host of riding the waves. If this message goes live++

Vapor's grin immediately left his visage, and he growled slightly under his breath before once more getting face to face with the radio host. "I miss when you were nothing more than my little messenger, and James my enforcer. We really could've made quite the team... but I suppose things~

Avidia the host.@riddingthewave.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Sdn, about your little escapade. And not only the sdn but the metahumans i personally know. Simply put. That money doesn't matter. You won't come out of this escapade unscathed.~"

It was an easy enough signal to track, no encryption or deterrent to prevent it from being trailed back to its origin point. An abandoned broadcasting station in the entertainment district of torrence. Given the lack of external security? It was highly likely that this wasn't Vapor's main~

Blue Dream@bluedreamrp.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Impatience and lack of challenges made them sloppy... made them stop guarding their communications, stop observing for potential eyes and ears. And now he had a signal. That broadcast was good... very good... but not good enough to hide from Shroud's own tech... which Blue had~

An audible beep could be heard through the broadcast, which caused Vapor to glance away from the camera he was using at the moment. "Well, would you look at that. Seems someone has already gotten a headstart on the hunt~" He clearly had some kind of sensors around said explosives to confirm if~

Blue Dream@bluedreamrp.bsky.social · 8mo ago

There was silence... There was patience... and then there was a singular notion. TARGET ACQUIRED. SEARCH & DESTROY.

It had been an average day in Torrence, at least until the multitude of televisions and cellphones that filled the streets all began to echo in unison. Vapor clad in his villain suit. "ATTENTION HEROES OF TORRENCE! A PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET MY ENDEARING AUDIENCE! I have quite the week~

"You'll both learn your lesson soon enough, not soon enough for my liking, but... I suppose that's a small price to pay, afterall I've already had to pay in blood. Unlike you rejects, that man you shot had a real family. Who's really the monster here? I take people when they're down and out and~

"You know my past vapor. You know i refuse to be like my parents. But if i have to. I will be even. Fucking. Worse." 《Venom in his speexh he was wrathful. He was pissed off royaly at the implication of james being hurt. Static filled the room as he spoke. Ear piercing static.》

"Ooo~ Aren't you a feisty little ankle bitter. We both know you won't go that far without being provoked. Wouldn't wanna upset your little boyfriend and his moral code, we wouldn't be having this conversation if James had just been able to pull that trigger, yknow." Vapor let out a sadistic~

Avidia the host.@riddingthewave.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Promise." 《The host said with a growl. The stitches were straining and drawing blood, but he didn't care. Adrenaline was too high.》

"You don't want me to hurt him..? Hm, let me think about that for a couple minutes-" Vapor retracted his hand and mockingly stroked his chin in feint thought. "Nah, sorry, Radio Boy, I can't do that. Still owe that son of a bitch for my eye. Your threats are pretty hollow, you can hardly~

"If you hurt a hair on james. I will take off mygloves. And you dont want that vapor. You dont want me to let loose. Even you know the damage i can create." 《Wrath. Wrath filled the hosts eyes. A wrath that was never seen before. Not even by james.》

Not my type.
