Omnis has posed:
She was Omnis today. Kally had on her costume, she had stopped two muggings and was quite pleased but then something happened as she passed through Harlem. It was a simple little cemetary there with an office building and a church overlooking it. People were leaving, the last of the cars leaving the area even as Kally passed over and landed on the office building. She looked down and blinked at the sight. She was surprised to see a crying boy down there and landed quickly to see what was wrong with him till she paused. It took her a moment to realize why he was crying. Why he was left alone. Why there was a recently lowered casket nearby. A small one. The boy walked up to her and stared at her, tears in his eyes and she could see hte gunshot wound. Omnis hugged nothing but air in that cemetary. Kneeling and starting to cry herself as she saw what very few could see. She could do nothing but all the same, she stood back up and lightly touched at a shoulder that wasn't there before she lept up to the rooftop nearby and just openly began to sob.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r was just walking along, having foiled a mugging herself, and has a bottle of beer that she's chugging - it's sweet as soda to her. She stops as she sees Omnis in a cemetery. Acting like she's consoling someone. Patting an invisible person. Curious, she flies up and towards the rooftop where Omnis went - and hears sobbing. She moves over there and murmurs, "What's wrong?"

Omnis has posed:
A blink and Omnis jumps as she looks over at Kory. It isn't often that people sneak up on her. She's so used to being aware of all those around her in some way. Still, she was quite distracted. She looks over at the cemetary where the boy is still standing there, crying. She looks down at the roof below her and then looks up, wiping at her eyes, "Nothing...everything." She shrugs, "Just injustice." She states and sighs as she looks to the side, "The horror of it all...just." She looks up and then clears her throat, "Sorry, I shouldn't let anyone see me like this." SHe swallows and clears her throat, "I am a hero, after all." She smiles a sad smile.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r just looks between you and follows your line of sight. She sees the situation and squints. "What do you see?" she murmurs softly. "It must be terrible. The anguish in your eyes..." She then slumps. "Oh. Oh dear. You see a child, don't you? That's a very small amount of disturbed ground. Can you help him in any way?"

Omnis has posed:
A look down and she looks at Kory, "No." She says softly, "Only protect more people. See justice done." She sighs and looks up at the sky, "Keep moving forward." SHe looks to Kory, "He's gone." She nods her head, "Soon, he'll move on to whatever comes next or maybe he'll stay. I don't know." She sighs, "I hope he moves on."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r nods slowly. "That must have been a heartwrenching sight," she states as she then looks at her hand, and hands you the half-full beer. "Want a drink?" she finally asks. "Maybe it'd help take your mind off of it." She ponders. "Your powers - do they have any benefits to you? Or... is it mostly a curse?"

Omnis has posed:
A look to Kory and then she looks at the drink before shaking her head, "No, I don't think I would. I appreciate the offer but...alcohol has little effect upon me." She looks to the side and then looks to Kory, "Besides, that'd be a bad road to take, I think." She nods her head, "As for benefits?" She chuckles, "I suppose." SHe nods her head, "I gain amazing strength and speed. I'm tough and I heal fast. I can even fly a little and jump amazingly well." She looks at her hands, "There's a lot to it but...at the same time." She looks to Kory, "I sometimes wonder if it is a curse." She shakes her head and looks distant before looking to Kory and smiling, "Still. I can see those who have been lost. See their pain and I can help give justice to them as well as others. Bright side of things." SHe nods and sniffles a little, wiping at her nose some, "After all. A pillar of justice cannot fail."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r nods. "Can you tell if the youth down there - if it was accident or malice? Is there some justice to be earned here - or is it just a sad accident?"

Omnis has posed:
The smile grows slightly sad and she looks to Kory, "It looks like malice. I won't burden you with details. It is not a pretty thing. I intend to look into it though I hope that it is already done. It could have been an accident but I doubt it." She sighs softly, "It's never a pretty thing. Death. Some would say that knowing that they will become a ghost or move on is a good thing. That it comforts them but standing there, watching a show of all those you love, all around you and having no way to interact?" She shakes her head, "Sorry, I shouldn't get into it. I am being a downer when my goal is to be good." She nods her head, "One has to smile even in the bad times. When you smile, even when things are dark, it lets everyone know things will be alright."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r nods. "Yes..." she states. "If you need me to help you with this matter, call me and I will be there in a snap." She ponders softly. "Avenging the fallen is a noble calling. I have swore blood oath against my sister for killing my parents. If I should cross paths with her - only one of us would leave that meeting alive. That's why I hide here - she has my entire world under her control - well - the new one for the old one is uninhabitable."

Omnis has posed:
A frown and she breathes in deeply before she lets it out, "Well, if you need help with that." She smiles, "I am available as well." She nods her head and then looks to the side, "All the same. I will find out what is going on with that kid and I will help him." She nods her head, "Hopefully, it is done and he is just waiting to move on. If he is not moving on though because of the darkness that took him. I will help." She then looks up, "Enough about that, though." She looks to Kory, "How have you been?"

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r smiles. "I'm okay - still troubled by recent intelligence I received. My ship has reported seeing a bounty hunter in this sector - I'm worried that they're going to be looking for me. It's my biggest fear. So I"m a bit antsy."

Omnis has posed:
A look to Kory and she sucks in a breath before she nods, "I do not know if I am strong enough to help but call me if you need it." She nods her head, "If they show up, they will face justice." She holds up a fist and clenches it, "Even if I have to put myself on the line. NO one will take you while I draw breath." She smiles wide and nods her head, "I am Omnis, after all."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r nods slowly. "Save such loyalty for those who deserve it. I'm not sure I do. I'm just the princess of a dead world - nothing remarkable." She shakes her head. "Your devotion is admirable - but be careful of who you wish to serve. Unless you _want_ to be my vassal or something."

Omnis has posed:
A chuckle and she looks back, "Kory, I am a hero. It's something I dedicated myself to. Princess of a dead world. Poor kid caught in the crossfire. Rich woman. Poor man." She shakes her head, "It doesn't matter who you are. I am Omnis." She nods her head, "And I will not desert anyone. If I, for even one moment, know I can help and hesitate, than I have failed not just everyone else but myself as well." She smiles softly, "I will not be your vassal, but I will be your hero if you need me."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r nods. "I don't need a hero. I need a friend. I am a hero myself. We can be allies. But the reports stated that Lobo was sighted in this sector of the galaxy - but it could be a coincidence. Just being neurotic, I guess."

Omnis has posed:
A smile and she nods, "I will gladly be your friend." She nods her head, "All the same, never hesitate to call me. I am never gonna abandon anyone." She smiles again and nods, "And I don't know who this Lobo guy is but if he comes after you, I'll smash him into the ground and then kick him back into space." She chuckles.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r shrugs. "I wish it was that easy. He heals fastre than I've ever seen, and it just makes him mad. But this is going to be a good day. Let's do something to get our minds off of things."

Omnis has posed:
A smile and she nods, "Sure, if that's what you need." She looks around, "I could use some good stuff, too." She nods her head, "How about ice cream?" She nods her head as she walks to the edge of the roof, "I know a place near here that is fun. I mena, it's in a lot of spots but hey, who cares. They serve good ice cream...wait..." She considers the beer in Kory's hand and looks up, "Do...you like ice cream?"

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r wrinkles her nose. "No thank you. I odn't like ice cream." She sips the beer. "It's very bitter." She smiles faintly. "Yeah - I'm not from around here. I taste things differently than people. I hear people talking about 'sodas', how sweet they taste? This is sweet to me." She chose a beer that has a particuarly bitter reputation. "Anything that a hew-mon finds sweet i don't like." She drags the word out to be absurd.

Omnis has posed:
A hmm and she considers, "Well, how about..." She considers, "Hot dogs?" She tilts her head, "Everyone likes hot dogs and you can put all kinds of things on them to make them however you like?" She smiles and looks to Kory with a grin, "There's a Nathan's Famous near here that will be really tasty." SHe nods her head and smiles, "It's neither sweet nor bitter so I don't know but you might like it."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r nods. "Oh, I love hot dogs. I'll get a side order of mustard to drink too." She smiles as she brightens up immediately. "Let's go! Meet you there!" Wtih no hesitation, she kicks off, her hair igniting into fiery glow, and she takes off, flying towards the place.
