As Marv sat alone in his apartment he reflected on that day's events. He had been permanently fired from the corporation when they heard what had happened and they had not paid him. Marv had needed that money to pay the rent and now he was being evicted. His life was quickly heading down hill.

...but thought began to form in his head as he thought of what he had done with the other Metas. He had a gift and it would be a shame to waste it. He could use his gifts to get his life back on track.

Marv looked down at the card the stranger had given him then quickly slipped it into his pocket and turned to the window. His skin turned to stone and he jumped through the window into the ally below.  He landed with a thud and turned down the ally. He pulled up the hood of his jacket then slowly slipped out into the night to seek his destiny.

After traveling enough distance away, I rested on top of a building. My powers worked in the day, but there was a certain advantage to being active at night, at least for now.

The city was beginning to take notice of me, but I needed to do something heroic to be fully recognized.

Late in the dead of night th enext day.starting on the outskirts of the city, a strange fog began to flow across the streets, now normally dense fogs aren't uncommon in a floating citadel, but this one was accompanied by sound. I'started off quietly a few notes here and there, barely audable, but it escalated,forming into an odd mix of Carnival music and Brahms Lullaby. The few who had not yet succombed to the blissfullness of sleep began to slacken as a daze crept slowly across their faces and eyes, until they fell asleep,no matter what they had been doing a second before. several drove off of the road into buildings, while others fell into plates of food that they were in the middle of eating. For a brief second, in the middle of the streets, a figure could be seen playing away on an flute like instrument, before dissapearing.


"Breaking news," The emergency broadcast channel was dissplayed across all of the televisions the following day. "It would appear that a dense bank of fog has spread across the edges of the city and is continually spreading towards its center. All attempts made by the loca defense department has to disperce the fog has been unsuccessfull. Yawn... Hopefully the fog shall be disperced soon, it is unknown...whetehr the captains room has been affected, yawn, but if he has been, the "Dead man's Break" on the ship, will sense his unconscious state, and within three days, it will be forced to make an emergency land into uncivilized territory. Citizens are advized to...to..." The announcer falls asleep as the caera tilts slowly to the right and falls, the message continues to be displaye on the screens as the streets sleep. They only things that appar to be unnaffected, are the Metas.

Marv awoke in a sea of fog. He had fallen asleep on a bench on the outskirts of the city and was now surrounded by thick swirling fog. He couldn't see very far and had no sense of direction. He stumbled of to the left of the bench hoping he was heading towards the city and not away from it.

I woke up in a bar, no different from the usual every other day or so Except this time the barkeeps foot wasn't on my face, and I wasn't on the floor. "i sat up and was about to as for another round of tap watter when I realized the there was a fog invading the rest of the bar, and that everyone and the barkeep was uncosciouss. "Well this is a great sight to wake up to n the morning."I grabbed my sack of odds and ends and exited into the street.

Neo woke up and went down the halls to the window. "What!?!" He looked out over the city and saw all of the denizens had fallen into a deep slumber. It appears that this fog has somehow disrupted the non meta's natural sleep pattern. Time to see what caused this I suppose. "Teleport".

I rest on a rooftop, waiting for night, trying to contemplate what the best plan of action would be that night. "I should probably scout the park, but I may get lucky and find something interesting in the bank area of the city if I travel the other way."

A car accident below interrupts his thoughts. "Dang it, people need to learn to drive." He walks over to the edge of the building to survey the damage and is shocked when he is unable to see the street.

The fog had not yet reached high enough to make it over the buildings in the area of town that he was in. Below he could hear the car horn from one of the cars that had crashed, but couldn't make out any noise of people reacting to the strange events.

Using his shadow as a platform he descended towards the street. The citizens around him all under a deep sleep.

"I need to move these people so they don't get seriously injured, if the rest of the area is like this fires could easily start to spread."

[neogenetica]

Neo saw all of the citizens under a deep sleep. They're likely to be injured if they just lie around. "Scatter". Citizens, vehicles and even some of the fog moved out of the way.

[jester_of_god]

"Okay, it looks like everyone in the citý's asleep. not normally either....,most likely it has something to do with the fog, but why ywasn't I affected then." my train of thought was interrupted when a car suddenly starteed moving sideways, and I sensed a presence further in the mist. "Speak of the devil." I lept back and phased through the wall of a building, propping myself underneath a window to observe the movements of the Newcomer.

"Why didn't you attack?"

"Because you can't draw conclusions too quickly when dealing with super powers,for all we know he didn't start it, you do know what they say about assuming don't you?"

I pause for a second bresthing heavily. "All that training and I still need mire to build up the power for these commands" Neo stops for a second and listens, almost hearing the sound of someone hiding while looking around.

An hour later.

"There, that is the last person I could find in that building."
The building he had just evacuated was behind him and still slowly getting caught in flames.

"There is not much I can do about the fire without getting the people awake first. Speaking of which, why am I not affected by this fog, maybe it has to do with my false body."

"Maybe if I head upwind I can find the source of the fog."

O.O.C: I'm a teenager, and a young one at that, in this.



I notice a figure seeping out of the fog. Hello, I suppose that you must be another meta. My name is Neo, may I ask yours?
