The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Hunger, a common driving force that caused most humans to lash out physically to make sure they had their fill often slaughtering thousands of innocent animals in the process. Once upon a time meat was cooked and served for feasts and was often the indicator of wealth oh how the times dulled down the nature of meat. Fast food restaurants around the world offering low cost burgers and chicken only for a dollar causing the deals to continue and leaving consumers fat and obese, which only helped his now hatred for meats. Sighing slightly as he rounded the next isle of the super market Bacchus’s mouth watered as he spotted the frozen section containing large chunks of meat and processed food.
‘Well played Supermarket’ Bacchus thought as he shook his head, resisting the urge to go over and pick his choice of prime cutlets. After all he had decided that he would try to go for a week without any meat product. Granted a week was a long time but sticking with his giant disposition, which always resulted in the simple thought “Go Big” he had decided that he could fight the urge to return back to eating meats for one week, if he could pull that off without a problem then he should be able to go longer without a problem, then and only then he would eat meat on the rarest of occasions and necessity.
Knowing full well that the mission he was tasking himself with was going to be a difficult one he had decided that it would be in his best interest to prepare his own meals, meals that were not only meat free but delicious as well. For several years he had fancied himself as a fairly decent cook having cooked for his friends back home on more than one occasion. However if he truly wished to continue cooking he was going to make a rapid change in his meal preparations starting with the removal of all meats.
Turning to the fruit and vegetable section Bacchus began foraging for the perfect and quality pieces of fruit. Testing them by lifting them to his ear and carefully taping them to see what they sounded like, smelling them to see if they were suitable for one of his first of hopefully many meat free meals. Going down the isle his bulky form cut through other customers making it seem as if Bacchus was forcing everyone out of the way. However he had no intentions of causing any trouble for anyone… well maybe one of the guys that sneered at him as he passed and reached out for a few containers of strawberries, that guy he wanted to punch but quickly reminded himself that he was here to shop not pummel. The pummeling could come later if needed, not to mention Bacchus could always wait for him in the parking lot if he decided to continue with his face.
A calm fell over Bacchus as he continued to put berries and carrots into his shopping cart, as he finally approached the watermelons, the item he looked foreword to all day, his favorite fruit ready for the picking. Testing one watermelon after another Bacchus continued to place the large fruits in his cart figuring out that these would most likely be consumed quickly. As he picked up the largest watermelon Bacchus brought it up to his ear and prepared to flick it once, however just as he was about to flick it he lost control of his powers causing the giant watermelon to splatter bits everywhere. “Shit…” muttered Bacchus as he was now covered in the soon to be sticky juices.

The super market was someplace that Kealey hated almost more than anywhere else in the world. Nobody ever enjoyed their time at the supermarket and thanks to them, Kealey didn’t either. In fact, she usually left the super market in a terrible mood…or shopped late at night when there was hardly anyone present outside of the night staff.
Today was different though. Jacen had been so nice to her for so long that Kealey had decided she was going to cook for him. So here she was, in the middle of the day, in a busy super market. Some of the dumbest actions had good intentions.
Mood deteriorating by the second and consistently grateful that she’d written down everything she needed, Kealey did her best to ignore everything that was going on around her and concentrate on getting everything on the list. Twice she ‘d already had to go back and pick up things she’d set down in her distracted state. This was going to be a mess.
Into the produce section Kealey went, wondering exactly what it was that had the woman in the produce aisle ready to explode with suppressed rage while she browsed cereals. It made no sense. She paid absolutely no attention to the man flicking watermelons until one seemingly exploded in his hands, splattering the juices everywhere. His irritation was obvious and Kealey was tempted to snap at him as she looked down at the wet, pink spots on her white shirt, but instead took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Background noise…it’s all background noise… she chanted internally, and it actually helped a little bit. Turning to the man, who was cursing quietly, irritation still evident in his tone, Kealey actually managed to chuckle a little.
”You need to watch out for the kamikaze watermelons…” she said amiably, wiping the spots from her shirt, ”I know they’re on special…but you really have to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks.” she hoped her humor would help…his irritation was incredibly difficult to ignore….and Kealey had vegetables to pick out for what she was planning to make.

A frown on his face Bacchus looked up to check the large reflecting mirrors to make sure that none of the so called security guards, better yet produce police were coming his way. Bacchus didn’t want much trouble at the supermarket, frankly it was one of the things that reminded him of home somewhat seeing as he often was the one to take Brooke and go shopping for the house seeing as he usually worked night jobs while everyone else took off to work during the day. The thought of splattering someone’s brain all over the head’s of lettuce was just disappointing, mainly because he had yet to toss some into his cart.
Pleased that no one was coming for now Bacchus turned his head to check the mess he caused, the floor was obvious, not to mention that the watermelons and other fruit on display were bathed in the juices. Looking down at his large construction boots then up to his pants and his shirt, it was a pain to admit it but he had deserved it for not concentrating, he was covered in the juice luckily the cart and all it’s contents remained juice free thanks to his bulk protecting the contents.
”You need to watch out for the kamikaze watermelons…”
Turning his attention to the petite blond that was now addressing him the first thing he noticed about her was her shirt which was dotted in watermelon juice. His nostrils twitched slightly as he gazed upon the woman who was now putting on a friendly face so to speak seeing as she just got juiced. The smell was a familiar one as a sudden touch of homesickness came over him, the scent was a familiar one in fact it reminded him so much of some of the girls back home. The smell was that of Jasmine if he could identify it correctly.
”I know they’re on special…but you really have to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks.”
A small twinge touched Bacchus’s lips at first but quickly his loud voice boomed with laughter as he tried to be polite as possible, “Sorry bout that lil’ Sheila!” Bacchus said as he lifted his hand and swatted it down causing some juices to fly from his arm down to his hand and eventually to the floor. “You know the exploding water melons are totally worth it!” he grinned and licked his lips and gave a refreshing sound after clicking his tongue, “The watermelon rarely blows up on me if at all, usually it’s the milk, cheap cartons and all.” Shrugging slightly trying to continue the humor he looked back up to the large reflecting mirror a sighed, it had seemed that someone was on their way. Maybe if he was lucky he could play it off there was no reason to believe he was a mutant… unless someone recognized his face from the news reports of the naked giant.
Moving his cart over to the side of the isle so he wasn’t holding up traffic Bacchus looked back to the shorter woman with piercing blue eyes and said, “Lucky for me the lettuces was unharmed,” reaching over and expanding his hand slightly Bacchus was able to palm two heads of lettuce and drop it in the cart. “Sorry again, Sheila…” Bacchus apologized once again for getting watermelon juice on her shirt.

Loud. Loud and tall. Those were the first impressions Kealey had of the man who’d caused the watermelon to splatter her. His irritation lifted though, and Kealey almost physically sighed in relief. It had been hard to put on a happy face and deal with that at the same time.
”It’s okay, really.” she said, taking a small step backwards as the unbelievably tall man wiped bits of watermelon off his arm and onto the floor. The shirt was one thing, but Kealey had on the shoes that Jacen had rescued after the fire, she would not be happy to have those ruined.
The man continued speaking, and Kealey had to chuckle a little bit at how…ebullient he was. Apparently watermelons didn’t explode on him often (Kealey was surprised that they ever did) and milk cartons did. Was that a subtle way of explaining that the exploding fruit had something to do with mutant powers? Kealey didn’t know, but as the large man moved his cart to the side and continued to tower over her, she felt suddenly intimidated. He was a little nervous, probably more nervous than he should have been from causing a simple accident. He was doing a good job of playing it off, though and Kealey nodded when he said that it was lucky for him that the lettuces had been unharmed. Kealey smiled reaching over to pick up one of her own, even if it took her both hands. ”It is lucky. As good as watermelon tastes…I don’t think it would merge well with lettuce flavor.”
The man apologized again and Kealey shook her head, it felt like he genuinely believed it, even if some of his other feelings were less than encouraging as far as stability was concerned. ”It’s really okay. I think the stains will come out just fine. I’m just glad you managed to miss my shoes.” The blond glanced back over at the watermelons, ”Did you want another one of those? she asked, trying to be helpful, ”They don’t ever explode on me when I’m holding them, so I could grab you one if you wanted.”she’d been grumpy since entering the grocery store, the least she could do was offer a good deed.

The anticipation was egging on his nerves as he glanced from the small blonde back to the security mirror, someone was defiantly about to round the corner someone he hope wouldn’t notice his face, after all he was slightly surprised the woman who had just offered to grab a watermelon for him didn’t notice his face, but then again Bacchus always did enlarge a facial feature or chose not to expand it with the rest of the body so he could go around unnoticed in his normal form. But then again a seven-foot tall wall hardly would go unnoticed; he liked to think of it as hiding in plain sight.
“That would be appreciated Sheila…” Bacchus said trying to hide his current emotions from his face. A subtle smile and a small laugh followed after as he continued, “Just one more will do, don’t know how much more my cart can hold…” he looked back to his cart and frowned slightly a little upset they couldn’t hold more than he would like. He could always make the cart its self bigger but then again that would just be drawing unnecessary attention to him, but then again attention seemed to be drawn to himself he was after all the ‘Naked Giant’.
Waiting for the woman to drop the woman in the cart Bacchus decided he would seem less suspicious if he seemed to be in a conversation, “Name’s Bacchus,” turning his eyes over to the corner of an isle Bacchus watched as a man poked his head from the corner and frowned slightly, Please see nothing wrong here… Bacchus thought as the security guard pulled out his two way radio and requested for someone to call the police. It was barley more than a whisper but a whisper was all Bacchus’s enhanced hearing needed.
Letting out a loud sigh as the security guard rounded the corner and walked casually towards him Bacchus tensed up slightly. “Sorry about your shoes…” Bacchus said in advanced knowing that something was going to happen to them. Spattered in blood or vegetable or fruits Bacchus couldn’t be sure but if her shoes somehow got away from this mess un-harmed he would be greatly impressed.
Turning his head to the security guard Bacchus raised his hands and placed them behind his head the way someone would if the police was stopping them. As the security guard approached he quickly pulled some mace and sprayed it in Bacchus’s face. Completely unaware Bacchus let out a howl of pain as his eyes quickly closed shut and his hands shot down smacking his cart to the ground causing produce and eggs to scatter everywhere.
Fear struck him, as all his senses were preoccupied with the burning sensation of mace. His vision obscured, his hearing distracted by the loud roars and bellows he was giving off his nose and tongue burning from the mace and his feeling of touch trying to compensate with everything getting tossed down around him.

More nerves, this guy was really nervous about the fact that he’d smashed that watermelon. It really didn’t make sense, though, the worst they could do was make him pay for it. Why did he keep looking at that mirror like he was expecting someone to come around the corner.
He did want a watermelon though, and Kealey made her way to the stack and selected a ripe one before moving back to put it in the large man’s cart. He was obviously Australian, the accent was such a dead giveaway that he might as well have had the southern cross tattooed on his forehead. It did give them a sort of kinship, though, as members of countries known for being red-headed step children of England.
He introduced himself and Kealey nodded her head, smiling. His name sounded unique and with his accent, rolled appealingly out of his mouth. ”I’m Kealey.” she said simply, ”And I’m glad I was able to help.” If only you weren’t so nervous. Kealey couldn’t help but think.
The guy, Bacchus, sighed then, and Kealey’s eyebrows drew together at the morbid confirmation she felt the nerves fading into. Then he apologized about her shoes. Kealey looked down at them, then lifted her head just in time to see a security guard approaching.
Bacchus put his hands behind his head like someone would if they were about to get handcuffed, and Kealey watched in horror as the security guard spared no time and simply sprayed him in the face with a can of mace.
Instantly, chaos erupted and Kealey nearly stumbled backwards at the onslaught of emotions that slammed into her. There was pain and fear from the tall man as he smashed, actually smashed the cart that his food had been in. Kealey stumbled backwards at that, casting a furious look at the guard who was feeling very brave and pleased with himself.
”What on earth is your problem!” Kealey shouted at the man, ”You don’t use pepper spray on a man for breaking a watermelon!”
“No ma’am, you’re wrong…this isn’t an innocent man at all…he’s the naked giant!”
It was Kealey’s turn to look utterly and completely confused now, over the pain and confusion and with the yelling, she had to have heard wrong, ”The what who?” she said, one hand raising to hold her head as she backed slowly away from the scene unfolding in front of her.

Stepping backward still yelling in pain Bacchus continued to swat the air around him trying to grab onto something solid so he didn’t feel totally defenseless. He was still scared even with his skin being able to withstand a barrage of bullets and only feel the small flecks of burnt metal on his hide. For now he was shut off from the world and was scared. Another step back and he hit what felt like a shelve his eyes still on fire all he could see was a blur as tears streaked down his face. A loud roar continued his mutation amplifying his voice making the air shake from the power of it, “IT BURNS!!!!!”
As he bumped into the shelve he lost his balance and tried to grab onto the isle which in turn caused it to fall with him. So much for support, if he could see his eyes would have closed in attempt to protect themselves from the falling jars of preservatives that were following his down fall. When this was over he was going to find out a way to build up immunity to mace, if such a thing was possible. As several jars crashed on his face without leaving a mark to his thickened skin the liquids in the jar luckily for Bacchus seemed to give a cooling sensation across his eyes.
It felt like an hour he couldn’t tell exactly how long it was he was in his frightened state but his nose was still rendered useless for now and his hearing was no longer distracted by his screams. As he was regaining his composure he started to feel anger well up in his legs as they started to twitch and grow. His work boots started to grow as well but without his entire concentration on his clothing growing as well the shoes blew open with a loud snap and crack giving way for his ever-expanding feet.
Turning his head slightly as he was slowly regaining his sight Bacchus frowned and expanded his hand and forearm pushing the shelve that had fallen on it with ease. Scattered screams could be heard as the shelve was now falling towards the frozen food section that still had people in it trying to get away from the falling isle. As he pushed himself up he blinked a few times rubbed his eyes and then grabbed the security guard with one hand and started to squeeze.
“That was completely unnecessary!” Bacchus roared as he took his free hand and whipped hi eyes which still tear and were hazy, “I was putting my hands behind my head and then you hit me with mace!” reaching his free hand out to the man Bacchus felt for can of mace and tried to spray it in his face, unfortunately for Bacchus the can was aiming away from the security guard and was aiming towards Bacchus. With his hand pressing the top the spray shot into his eyes once more, “Damn it!” he roared again flinging his arms about trying to not kill the man in his hand but found it difficult not to.

Things were going from bad to worse and all Kealey could do was watch in horror as the scene unfolded in front of her. Other people in the store had noticed the commotion and they were starting to react accordingly to the huge man stumbling around and screaming. As the general state of panic started to rise in the room, Kealey’s body tried to react in kind. She wanted to run, she wanted to scream, just like all the people around her were doing. Then there was Bacchus. The man was furious.
The furious anger blending with the panic made Kealey want to do rash and unexplainable things. She held her breath for a moment, trying to get some of it to go away, but only succeeded in pulling the anger to the front of her mind. It was paralyzing it was so strong, and she stood in mute fury as Bacchus fell backwards into a set of shelves and took them down with him. Had he gotten bigger? It didn’t seem possible.
Jar after Jar fell on the man’s head and on top of everything else, now she was worried that he’d been hurt even worse than when the mace had sprayed in his face. Well, she felt bad until he stood up. The man had gotten larger, and he picked up the guard…it looked like he was squeezing him.
Kealey didn’t move, hadn’t moved since this nightmare had started to unfold right in front of her face. The emotions were too much and she was starting to get dizzy with it all. All the work she’d done with her powers, everything she’d learned about herself in the past few weeks was completely going out the window. Kealey was out of control.
All the things that were rolling around in her head were telling her to do different things and her body felt torn in what seemed like a hundred different directions. Bacchus sprayed himself in the face again and the pain made Kealey stumble slightly. Pain? She could feel the physical pain.
”STOP!” she yelled, the jolt from the physical discomfort shocking her out of her stunned paralysis, ”You have to put him down.”
What was she going to do about it? Kealey didn’t know, there was still too much going on in her head. So she settled for repeating the yell…she was angry, and scared, but most of all at that moment, she was helpless.

A twitch of the finger and a scream would follow a twitch of two fingers of more and no screams would follow simple as that. With the way he was feeling now it would only take a small movement to kill the man who killed his great mood with a stupid little can of mace. After her initial pain Bacchus’s eyes remained shut but he didn’t react the same way he did before. This time despite the pain and the man in his hand and the frustration knowing that he just maced himself in the face Bacchus wasn’t yelling as much as he was nor was he thrashing about this time.
One step back then another and he stopped his eyes now crying more out in protest to the chemical cocktail that was now specked across his face. The smell of the chemical shut down his sense of smell but that didn’t matter much, he had the man in his hand and the can of mace in the other. With a simple twitch of the wrist the can of mace blew up in his hand. Looking blindly at the man in his hand he could feel him twitching about trying to free himself but of course Bacchus didn’t let up.
”STOP!”
Bacchus’s ears twitched slightly, why was Kealey telling him to stop? The guard had it coming, all Bacchus was doing was a little shopping and the next thing he knew was the mace in his face… twice! Granted that the second time was his fault but still the guard had it coming. He started this mess and caused Bacchus great pain so why shouldn’t he return the feeling?
”You have to put him down.”
Bacchus’s lips twitched as his eyebrows tilted down showing his disapproval for what he understood as a command, even if it was a request he didn’t think he would have obliged. Granted Kealey was nothing but nice to him but this man cause pain to the giant, and one thing about this giant… he always got even.
Blindly looking down his own arm holding the man Bacchus’s pinky twitched as the man let out a scream as two ribs was broken. “Why do I have to let him go? I did nothing wrong today!” he said as he turned his attention to the woman who was pleading to let him go. “This man started it, not to mention he just recently called the cops.” He paused looking to the man as his pinky pulled away from the fist and then slammed back into the mans side doing more damage. “Now I won’t be able to get away with the groceries seeing as blood will soon be covering them… and for some reason the cops don’t know when to quit…” he stopped again and then tapped his pinky into the man again causing him to let out another scream.

Fear mingled with pain, pain mingled with panic, panic mingled with anger. All at once. Kealey’s head was spinning and she didn’t know how to make it stop. The man that the ever growing Bacchus held in his hand was screaming in pain every time the giant flexed his fingers and Kealey whimpered slightly as she felt it. Bacchus asked why he should stop, why he shouldn’t cause pain to the one who had caused him pain. Kealey didn’t have an answer, not at first. Her overwhelmed emotions couldn’t reason out why he shouldn’t be causing the security guard pain.
Slowly, Kealey reigned herself in, a little of her own concern and earnestness coming through the haze of other emotions. ”A righteous man turns the other cheek in the face of violence. Kealey said, reverting back to religion in desperation. Somehow, she didn’t think that this man was particularly righteous. Especially if the concept of mercy to one weaker to himself was so foreign.
The giant spoke again and Kealey relaxed a little bit at first. The police were coming, surely they knew how to deal with situations like this. Bacchus kept talking, though and Kealey’s stomach flipped over when he commented that he wasn’t going to be able to buy his groceries because of all the blood.
”You could be gone by the time they get here…” she said slowly and carefully, pushing off the other emotions as decidedly as she could, she was getting frustrated though. Or maybe Bacchus was getting frustrated. ”Then I’ll buy the groceries and bring them to you…” she was getting desperate…if all the man had really wanted was the groceries, though…maybe it would work.
The panic was fading because most of the people who were scared had ran away. Kealey couldn’t make her feet move, though, and she looked at Bacchus with big eyes. ”Please don’t do this.” she whispered, grasping around for something in the man she could use and settling on the anger, pushing it down as well as she could. Hopefully it would be enough.

Deep in thought he didn’t really pay much mind to the man screaming for freedom. Frankly the man signed his suicide note the second he called the cops the can of mace was all the more reason to kill him. He hated the people who tried to be heroes; there was no such thing as a true hero, thee was no man or woman doing the right thing because it was the right thing there was always some angle the person would be working. Sure their wee good and bad people but none were heroes, villains on the other hand… Villains were very real, they weren’t always visible but they were around. Bacchus never thought of himself as a bad guy just in more a pickle than anything, loan sharks with sniper scopes pointed at his friends head made it hard for him to breath let alone get a large sum of money within a few weeks without killing or breaking the law.
The sound of police sirens came to his ears the way the a dog could hear a whistle a mile away, granted he couldn’t hear that far but the familiar ringing sounded out through his mind and caused his attention to snap back to the present, his trance was broken and the screams could be head from the man as he lost yet another rib. He looked to Kealey who seemed upset or scared about the situation and he felt sorry for her. There was no reason she should have been here still he didn’t plan on hurting her, kids and women for the most part remained free from his wrath when he was upset.
”A righteous man turns the other cheek in the face of violence
His eyes trailed over to her and he blinked trying not to blatantly laugh in her face, which would normally be his response to a comment as this, “I don’t know what a righteous man is but as you could tell, I am no man of any kind of righteousness.” His face turned to a frown as he looked back at the man in his hand and he then looked back to Kealey his eyes meeting hers as she continued to plead with him.
”You could be gone by the time they get here…”
He snuffed off the comment slightly as he nodded his head to the front of the store, “Not really, the police will be here in a few minutes if that, sure I could run but I was never one to run from a challenge.” He used his mutation and puffed out his chest and grew some more, now standing another two feet in the air Bacchus looked down at Kealey, ”They are nothing but cockroaches, all of them…” he bit his lip slightly not believe what he had just said, maybe it was from hanging out at the order to long, it could have been that he was homesick or maybe he was just tired of everyone running in fear and calling the police at first glance.
”Then I’ll buy the groceries and bring them to you…”
Eyes slightly wide Bacchus looked at Kealey for a second thinking about her offer, he could take her up on it… shaking his head his eyebrows lifted no longer showing a angry look but rather a more of a sensitive one, “No can do, Sheila” he said bluntly as he looked to the man in his hand. With a final scream from the guard Bacchus twitched his wrist and threw the man into the frozen food section forcing him to land face first in a pile of ice. The force wasn’t enough to kill him granted if he were left alone with his injuries he would die within an hour or two.
”Please don’t do this.”
Feeling his rage and anger subside slightly Bacchus sighed and shrugged, “Count yourself lucky,” Bacchus said pausing for a second only to listen to the sirens that were now parked outside the market. “You must of hit a nerve with me or something, not so many people are this kind to me.” Looking at Kealey he was reminded slightly of the innocent face Brooke always gave him whenever he mentioned anything about America or work.
Bacchus was about to pick up what he could and leave but as soon as he picked up a watermelon a gunshot rung out blowing the watermelon up. “Damn!” Bacchus said looking to the entrance that was now behind him, “See Sheila, nothing but roaches, they pop up out of nowhere!” Bacchus said his temper starting to flare once again, he didn’t intend to kill in front of Kealey seeing how she seemed that she couldn’t handle a lot of the mess but of they started to fill in the market with nubers Bacchus would over look the woman’s reactions.

He was thinking about it, and as his anger started to fade, Kealey heaved sigh of relief. Without all the anger and frustration it was easier to think, easier to try and figure a way out of this mess that she’d gotten herself into simply by walking into the grocery store.
This was different from the last dangerous situation Kealey had found herself in, though, this man wasn’t out to kill her and if Kealey had to make a guess, he wasn’t really out to kill anyone else either. He was amused at her comments on righteousness, though and that made Kealey bristle slightly. She didn’t comment, though, switching tactics was a good idea. A shudder ran through the bond as the giant grew even larger and referred to the police as cockroaches. This definitely wasn’t good.
He melted a little when she offered to get his groceries for him, and Kealey nodded her head eagerly as he thought, maybe there was a way out of this after all. There were still people in the grocery store, and as the sound of sirens became evident, Bacchus tossed the security guard away. The man flew through the air and the sheer strength that must have been behind the action made Kealey gasp. Hopefully the man wasn’t dead. ”There’s nothing wrong with running from a fight that’s just going to result in innocent people being hurt…” Kealey said, steeling herself and moving forward a few steps. In dangerous situations, with dangerous people, moving closer to them wasn’t necessarily a great idea, but she had to try something.
Then Bacchus spoke again, and Kealey smiled, a broad smile of relief. As the giant bent to pick up his groceries, Kealey moved to help him out, already trying to figure out a story to tell the police so they wouldn’t follow the giant as he ran. The guy deserved a chance, the guard was stirring and no real harm had been done. Granted, Kealey may have felt different if she’d have known Bacchus’ history with the police.
It wasn’t to be, though. Somewhere in the grand scheme of things someone had declared that a shot needed to ring out.
Bacchus’ anger flared again and Kealey dropped to the floor, covering her head with her arms. What kind of cop was stupid enough to shoot into a possible hostage situation? Heavy footfalls started to fill the tiled store and all Kealey could feel was malice and business like exhilaration as the police started to flood into the store. Apparently they’d heard of Bacchus before, because officers in this number didn’t show up for your average grocery store hold-up. Pushing to her feet slowly, she moved in the direction of the footfalls, the police were there, surely they’d help.

The next few seconds seemed to go in slow motion as his adrenaline started to flare up, excitement reaching his fingertips and the soles of his feet. His senses going into overdrive as he looked from police to Kealey now lying on the ground. Covering her head from the spray of hot metal that was now buffering his chest and bouncing to the ground quite hot but otherwise harmless. Bullet holes covering one of his favorite brown shits Bacchus frowned and picked up the closest thing he could find other than Kealey who was now running behind a shelf for cover.
Picking up one of the watermelons he was deciding on getting Bacchus enlarged the fruit and threw it at the police, which forced them to get out of the way or get forced the wall as the watermelon forced up against them then exploding. Watermelon juice sprayed out on the floor and splashed in every direction as Bacchus made his move towards the police who were already on the ground ducking in cover due to the giant melon of doom.
His hands still enlarged from before Bacchus grabbed one of the officers and slammed him into the ground smashing his skull into the tiled floor creating a small crater. The police by this time regained their composure and continued to buffer him with bullets, which crushed against his skin and fell to the ground in a rain of burning metal. Turning his hand and rotating at the waste Bacchus back handed the next closest police man who was sent flying past the shelve Kealey was now hiding behind.
A quick palm thrust to another officer’s head caused the brains to explode from the back of his skull. His signature move was just shown to all who was no watching and the police officers seemed to not even be phased, now they started with the pepper spray and tear gas hoping that the gasses would have more of an effect than the bullets would. “AGHHH” roared out Bacchus as one of the canisters broke against his chest and caused him to thrash about as his eyes and nose started to burn. His ears however were mostly unaffected. He tried to remain still even though it was getting harder and harder to breath he had to figure out where everyone was so he could figure out if he should swing his arms or moves his legs to get moving.

Gunshots. Gunshots rang out and Kealey threw herself on the ground again, watching in horror as the bullets slammed into Bacchus. They fell to the ground. The bullets fell to the ground after hitting the man. Kealey’s eyes were wide in shock and surprise as she watched. Bacchus picked up another watermelon and again Kealey was shocked as she watched it grow before her eyes, then it was sailing though the air towards the police officers Kealey had just been thinking about approaching.
They weren’t confident anymore, they were terrified and Kealey found herself frozen on the floor in terror that was multiplied several times over by the emotions rolling off the police officers. Bacchus didn’t seem interested in her anymore, just the police officers and Kealey started pushing herself slowly across the floor, trying to find some sort of cover to hide in. It came in the form of a shelf that she scrambled behind, horrified eyes simply watching the chaos unfold. Until Bacchus made his next move.
The police officer was relatively defenseless considering the fact that the bullets simply bounced off of Bacchus when she shot. The officer felt it keenly and as Kealey stared at him in stunned horror she felt it too. Defenselessness, terror, then pain. The blond screamed even as Bacchus slammed the man’s head into the ground. It opened a hole, and then Kealey didn’t feel anything from him. Blood, there was blood, and the giant wasn’t done.
A man flew through the air and as he slammed into the shelving Kealey felt his terror disappear too as a fine, warm, spray splashed across her face. Bacchus was killing people, there was blood on the floor and the man who’d hit the shelf was also laying in a puddle of blood, Kealey pulled one shaking hand from her face and looked at it. There was blood there, and on her face, and in her hair. She screamed again, so much terror, so much anger. It was coming from everywhere. Kealey looked up to see Bacchus smash a man’s skull with his bare hands and her stomach turned, trying valiantly to empty itself.
The battle was intensifying, the police were shooting canisters at Bacchus, and he roared. At the sound, something snapped inside of Kealey, if the fight continued, more people were going to die. A bullet from one of the police officers ricocheted off the floor next to Kealey and everything slowed down. They were scared, they were all scared and she was too. Harder Kealey clung to her hair, the pain in her scalp pulling everything into even tighter focus as she chanted one word over and over, ”Stop…stop...stop…” Survival instincts kicking in, Kealey reached out with her powers like she’d never done before.
The pain, there were so many people in pain, Kealey could feel it, as well as bravery, confidence, exhilaration, anger, and a hundred other things. She focused on the pain. Out she directed it, the pressure in her head growing as she focused. The pressure spread through her body, tingling like liquid fire through her veins and the blond yelled, pushing it outwards. Outwards towards everyone. She was disconnected, as if someone had switched off her conscious and replaced it with a simple machine built to survive and nothing else. The police officers had endangered her as much as the giant so far, so they were in trouble too.
The police officers were the first to feel it and one by one they dropped to the floor. Kealey didn’t stop, she could feel Bacchus, the murderer, and he was close. He’d be feeling it soon.
OOC - Okies GB...here we go. Kealey's out of control at the moment and she's lashing out. You're a lot bigger than the police, and probably a lot more dense, so this first wave probably won't hurt you nearly as bad as them. Feel free to continue the chaos with just an acknowledgment of discomfort at this point. I'll take you down later.

The burning sensation in his now closed eyes intensified with each passing second as the tear gas continued to blind him. As the smoke dissipated momentarily Bacchus took the opportunity to turn in the opposite direction and breathing in deeply away from the gas that had forced him to cry. A sharp pain shot throughout his body after he heard Kealey shout out stop, it was easy to tell the woman’s Irish accent from the men’s deeper and more anguished screams of pain. His left eye opened slightly as he saw the police officers on the ground, some clutching their arms or heads some not moving at all most likely due to passing out, he didn’t know why the pain was being forced upon him all he knew was the source needed to stop what it was doing.
His left eye focused on the woman near him and he stopped slightly surprised and slightly not, it made sense why she was so calm with him before she was the only one other than himself in the market still standing and not crippled in pain or on the ground. Even tough he could still feel the pain it hadn’t fully incapacitated him yet which was good seeing as the police were now out of the way. He could have easily killed them with the way things were now but the pain was starting to become more and more of a concern. It was basic human nature to stop pain so why would he just stop her there? He could kill her and not have to worry about her or the pain she was casing him but rather something pulled at his stomach issuing him to get the hell out of there. Clenching his teeth he walked over to the Irish woman that had showed him kindness and said bluntly, “Sorry Sheila,” his mutation causing him to grow more and more he now stood at twelve feet and hunched over as he continued to expand his forearms and hands making them significantly wider perfect to shield himself and others from stray bullets.
Scooping up Kealey in one arm Bacchus ran on his two legs and forced his free hand to help him pick up speed the way a gorilla walks, he had only done this once before but considering the situation he deemed it necessary to get out of the building as fast as he could. Cradling Kealey the way a mother cradles her child Bacchus charged the produce wall and forced his way out of the market and onto the streets. The concrete wall falling likes a toy to his giant and thick frame.
Stopping abruptly seeing as the police lights that were now blinding his good left eye for the moment blinded him. Using his free hand he covered his eye till it adjusted to the light as a round of bullets were unloaded on him and the woman in his arms. Thinking quickly Bacchus turned his hardened back to the oncoming barrage till he could see properly, however one thing remained the same as his large body protected Kealey from the oncoming barrage, he didn’t know why he was going out of his way to save her, all she did was show him kindness. He didn’t feel much pain all he felt was the heat on his backside as the heated metal cooled on contact with his skin and now holey clothing.
