Thomas rolled his shoulders. "I agree. Random powers... let's just get what I came for." He looked under a few sheets, before finally finding the girl. He smiled, looking to the Redeemer. The Redeemer nodded to confirm. Thomas licked his lips and touched Signe's hand. Barely able to contain his excitement he activated his ability and started to drain her. All was quiet as he his purple vapor drifting off his hands. He mentally counted out a minute, everything silent besides the Redeemer's armour, humming in the background.
He saw the purple mist leave, and knew he'd taken everything. He clenched his eyes shut as he received all the memories and the abilities. A tumblr account... an ability to write fantasy... a pull towards Aurora... he growled and yanked those thoughts away. The voices would take time to get used to.
"Done," he smiled at the Redeemer, a full knowledge of the power in his mind now. "Thank you, Redeemer. I appreciate it." He held out a hand and sharp claws drew from it as the hand became more monstrous. Signe had liked that one...

Voltage started to snarl. "What does that mean?!"

The Redeemer nodded and looked pleased. 'No you will be more dangerous than ever,' he remarked. 'And I want to test it; I still have a job to do here. I could use some help if you're up to it.'

Parasite nodded. "Of course. What does it involve?"

'I'm not too sure,' the Redeemer mused. 'There's an object I'm looking for. Do you remember that machine they originally gave the students on your campus powers?'

Nathan stepped back, but his fists were clenched. 'That's it! Just bully your way into information,' Nathan growled back. Parts of his body started shimmering and turning invisible.
'And you know what it means! You and Herbert need to connect. Perhaps you could do that if you stopped judging him on what powers he had and on the fact that he's just your son and that's all it matters! You're so obsessed with being a superhero that's your mask is blinding you.'

Thomas's frowned. "Vertex, or something. It was unstable. What of it?"

Gilbert looked ashamed. "I'm not- I'm not judging him for what powers he has." He started to flicker with electricity. "And I'm not trying to bully information," he clarified. "I'm concerned, Nathan. It's not like you're so selfless yourself."

'The exact details are for me to know,' the Redeemer said. 'But I need to find the pieces for a start. This is where I could use your help.' He started walking out of the morgue and up the stairs onto the main floor. 'I'd like you to use your new power and find out what you can about it. But maybe refrain from becoming Captain Omega,' he said wryly.

Parasite walked with him. "What? Talk to Olympians?"

The Redeemer nodded. 'Become someone high ranking and go ask. I'm sure it'll be unusual, but, well you'll be Champion or whoever. They won't say no.'

Nathan shrugged. 'No, I'm not. But your kid is, and he deserves something a bit better,' Nathan told him. 'Look, that's all I have to say on the matter.' He paused and looked at the recruits, who still pointlessly trying to discuss how to get over a wall. 'You know it only took me ten seconds to do that,' he told Gilbert. 'How long have they been here?'

Gilbert scowled. "Hours and hours. April already had a word. Nathan, what's going on with Herb?"

'God, it's almost like they're controlled by people who haven't bothered to come online in ages,' Nathan commented strangely, mired in pop-culture. 'It's a bit like Total Recall, except I can't recall the last time I saw them out of this place,' Nathan mused.
He turned back to Gilbert. 'Oh, well nothing of course,' he said with a Gilderoy Lockhart grin. 'He's just studying, and maxing, relaxing all cool. You know, probably playing some b-ball outside the pool,' he rhythmed vaguely.

Gilbert gave him a look, his eyes flickering with electricty. "Nathan, tell me the truth."
