Elseworlds: Dark Times (or Apocalypse 2035)

Aftera sits back down and calls over one of the metas.

"Be a dear and grab that, would you?" She tells him. The meta hands her a small detonator looking thing and she presses the button.

"You've impressed me YottaByte, so I'll show you something." As soon as the button is pressed, the floor theyre standing on lowers several stories, past the multiple quarters and safe houses they keep all of the stolen material in. Finally they settle into the lower most floor and Aftera stands up to open the door it landed in. They step inside of a giant room which can only be described as...bright. A clear, glass like material shields Aftera and YottaByte from a searing flame all originating from one screaming humanoid man.

"I had a Technopath help me contain this man. There is no mention of it in our records or any records for that matter and I'd imagine that The Society has made sure to erase it from theirs in pure embarrassment." Aftera says, stepping closer. "There has been one time The Impacts have stolen from The Society and this is the fruit of my labors. Ive long forgotten his name, but this is a meta taken by the Society and forced to work for them. Hes undead now, but his powers were heat control and telepathy, both increased to the maximum by Society experiments and rule. Hes persistent, for the past 6 years hes been emitting enough heat to overtake a Hypernova."

Aftera slowly takes a step in, phasing through the strange material, and slowly wades through the intense flames before she becomes face to face with the undead meta himself.

"You! Let me out! I'll kill you!" He yells in absolute anger. His telepathy technically hasnt reached past the strange glass but a piece of technology converts it to sound for everyone to hear.

"I don't know, why don't you make me. That is your power right?" She smiles gripping his throat.

"Y...Your mind...it's...why can't I..." He screams before Aftera lightly pushes him away and phases back through the glass. Naked from the heat, she orders a meta to bring her another pair of clothes and another piece of technology.

"I appreciate the challenge YottaByte and a synpase controlling power would be indeed terrifying, but Ive found that the signals in my brain or anything relating to my thoughts have stopped becoming vulnerable to telepathy or electric control a decade ago after I broke the speed of light completely. The physics and control of it are simply too...impossible I suppose." She says, putting on her clothes again. The meta hands her to button, to which she presses, causing a metal contain to come over and seal the undead firestorm. "I am not going to join your final fight, but what I will do is offer you my greatest weapon. Hes encased in a bomb that will both explode him mentally and telepathically, meant to both physically and mentally dominate anyone in this Solar System if anything goes wrong."

The bomb is funneled to the surface and Aftera sits on her chair again.

"Use it as a last resort. Id rather no one have this Earth than The Society. But before you do, make sure that this never happens. Breaking the light barrier has done nothing but make life hell for me. What has been 3 decades for everyone else has been thousands of lifetimes for me. And nothing would make me happier to see it all end." She says, crossing her legs.
