<John_Dm>: It is a dawn of a new day at the s-men academy. Rob has gone off into the city, chasing down some ketchup related perp. Jitterbug is sleeping in the shack, when she is awoken by the smell of cheap apple scented cigarettes
2
<John_Dm>: You can practically smell the bad taste. It is also a familiar smell.
3
<Jitterbug>: ....
4
<Jitterbug>: Oh
5
<Jitterbug>: Crap
6
Jitterbug gets out of her chair, and runs to the armory
7
<John_Dm>: The armory is what it is. The smell still lingers, though
8
Jitterbug bust out the biggest gun they got, and waits by the door
9
10
11
<Jitterbug>: I KNOW YOU'RE THERE, JOHN!
12
<Jitterbug>: YOU CAN COME OUT!
13
<John_Dm>: A tall man in a white coat steps out from behind a tree, a cigarette in his mouth. He is a spitting image of Rob, except middle aged with obvious scars and signs of a life of work. John Greene stands, swinging a key in his finger.
14
15
<Jitterbug>: John...
16
<John_Dm>: "Ah, hello. Doing well I see, and still more wet around the ears than than a diver." he says, in his usual tone of continual smugness
17
<John_Dm>: "5 years and you still haven't cashed in on that treasure I led you to"
18
<John_Dm>: "Do you just hate rewards or something? Kind of insulted here" he says, feigning being hurt jokingly
19
<Jitterbug>: Well, no...
20
<Jitterbug>: But, it's stealing! Heroes don't steal!
21
<Jitterbug>: before the bank robbing rp, I hope]
22
<John_Dm>: "It didn't belong to anybody, still doesn't. We just stole- wait, correction -you just stole this here key"
23
<John_Dm>: "And then I stole it back. Funny ain't it"
24
<John_Dm>: "But, I'll give it back if you actually bloody use it like I told you to. I swear I try to help my brother once and you won't even let me, worst in-law ever"
25
Jitterbug frowns at John, the gun humming
26
<Jitterbug>: Toss it over here
27
John_Dm throws over the key
28
Jitterbug catches the key
29
<Jitterbug>: Any catch?
30
<John_Dm>: "Well, its a bunch of money, in cash. You need something to transport it. I've pulled a few strings and have some men set up around the site to help bring it back here"
31
<John_Dm>: "Just have to get into the main chamber before the others do"
32
<Jitterbug>: Others?
33
<John_Dm>: "Its been 5 years, people have heard about it. Now they're trying to breach in"
34
<John_Dm>: "They've been hard at work too"
35
<Jitterbug>: Fine
36
<John_Dm>: "well, they being this one crazy dinosaur mutant and his posse"
37
<John_Dm>: "Guy's obsessed"
38
<Jitterbug>: Just, tell me where is, and I'll get at it
39
<John_Dm>: "I could bring you there, actually."
40
<John_Dm>: "Save you the hours of flying"
41
<Jitterbug>: I don't have to drive with you, do I?
42
<John_Dm>: "It won't be driving. Just, eh whatever you'll see"
43
<John_Dm>: The second Bella blinks, she is somewhere entirely different. She seems to be far out west, in the western deserts of America. You see a large rocky mountain with a trail going up it and mine tracks as well. Welcome to the west.
44
<Jitterbug>: Ah
45
<Jitterbug>: DAMMIT JOHN!
46
<John_Dm>: John is standing before you, same distance. You don't recall him being a mutant, or being magic.
47
<Jitterbug>: I'M GLAD YOU WEREN'T INVITED TO THE WEDDING!
48
<John_Dm>: "I came anyway though. Picked up some cake when nobody was looking"
49
<John_Dm>: "Excellent choice, by the way"
50
<Jitterbug>: ...
51
<Jitterbug>: THANK YOU
52
<Jitterbug>: BUT DAMN YOU!
53
<Jitterbug>: Anyways
54
Jitterbug lowers the gun
55
<Jitterbug>: How did you do that?
56
<John_Dm>: John shrugs a bit, turning back to the large mountain. You see some cars in the distance, no doubt his men he talked about. You also see what looks like whats left from an excavation group outside the entrance of the mine. No doubt the dinosaur's doing.
57
<John_Dm>: "Do what?"
58
<John_Dm>: He laughs a little bit to himself
59
<Jitterbug>: Get me...wherever we are!
60
<John_Dm>: "Oh, sleight of hand" he says nonchalantly
61
Jitterbug frowns
62
<Jitterbug>: I really hate you, john
63
<John_Dm>: You get the idea he isn't going to be telling anything. You recall he's done things like disappear in front of people's eyes before, he's a weird fellow.
64
<John_Dm>: "Good to know"
65
<Jitterbug>: Can we just go already?
66
<John_Dm>: "Oh, you have the key, go right ahead into the mine"
67
<John_Dm>: "Unless you're scared to go alone, I mean"
68
<Jitterbug>: I can handle it!
69
Jitterbug pushes john aside, and walks to the mine
70
<John_Dm>: John laughs, disappearing once again
71
<John_Dm>: The mine entrance has seen some digging, clearly it was barred up a while ago and recently opened
72
<John_Dm>: inside you see a tunnel leading into the mountain, remnants of an old mining place
73
<John_Dm>: You can imagine vividly the sound of clutter and picks hitting rock just looking at it
74
Jitterbug crawls up the wall, and to the cieling, and scuttles forth
75
<John_Dm>: as she goes further in, through the winding tunnels, she begins to hear clamor deep within. It seems the group ahead of you are, well, ahead.
76
<John_Dm>: You can hear up to 10 people, one of them obviously reptilian whatever that means, and others arguing about how to open a door
77
Jitterbug crawls further in, remaining silent
78
<John_Dm>: You reach a large open space, a big mining area, with what looks like a large vault door with but one key hole. There are 9 men, who look like soldier types, and well dressed towering man which upon close inspection appears to have the head of a Baryonyx
79
80
<John_Dm>: this thing]
81
<John_Dm>: http: //images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100228222056/jurassicpark/images/e/e9/Baryonyx12.jpg for the blind]
82
83
<Jitterbug>: Huh...
84
<John_Dm>: "Get it open! Now!" the baryonx man screeches to the others
85
<John_Dm>: "Give us time..." one of the men says
86
Jitterbug scuttles over, and listens in some more
87
<John_Dm>: the baryonyx is clearly impatient "Its been 7 god damn weeks and if I don't get this open I bet the scarves will get it before we do"
88
<John_Dm>: "I am not losing my bid to take control of the trade because of some fucking door"
89
90
<Baryonyx>: [where was I]
91
<Jitterbug>: are there lamps in here?]
92
<Baryonyx>: [yep]
93
94
<Jitterbug>: <John_Dm>: "I am not losing my bid to take control of the trade because of some fucking door"
95
<Baryonyx>: there are lamps set up just barely illuminating the room
96
<Baryonyx>: the men get back to work, they seem to have a machine that has been drilling for a while now
97
98
<Baryonyx>: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Supremacy http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Dinosaur_Physiology also mr baryonyx ]
99
<Jitterbug>: Hmmm....
100
<Jitterbug>: how many lamps?]
101
102
<Baryonyx>: There are about 6 lamps around the room. 2 of them right by the vault door while the others are placed by the entrance and to the walls
103
Jitterbug crawls over to the lamp, and tosses it at the other lamp
104
<Baryonyx>: one of the lamps collides into the other, they both go out and make a noise as they hit the ground
105
<Baryonyx>: "THE FUCK WAS THAT" Baryonyx yells over his similarly surprised but less loud henchmen
106
<Jitterbug>: Your worst nightmare...
107
<Baryonyx>: "FIND WHATEVER THAT IS AND SHOOT IT" he screeches to his henchmen, 3 of the henchmen go to the now pitch black area jitters has made
108
Jitterbug uses her dark vision to fly down, and start sleeper holding the guards
109
<Baryonyx>: The three men are dealt with, you are holding them in your grip. It would be wise not to leave them there or make any noise.
110
<Baryonyx>: The Baryonyx isn't happy with the fact there was no gunfire at all and dead silence
111
Jitterbug drags the bodies outside, and leaves them at the entrance
112
<Baryonyx>: "...okay now I don't like that at all GIVE ME THAT!" he grabs a gun from one of his henchmen
113
114
<Jitterbug>: Wuiestion]
115
<Jitterbug>: Question]
116
<Baryonyx>: [yoop]
117
<Jitterbug>: was this the week she was kidnapped?]
118
<Baryonyx>: [if you want it to be]
119
<Jitterbug>: eh, would mean she is bullet proof]
120
<Jitterbug>: nah, I'm good[
121
122
Jitterbug starts chirping and hissing
123
Baryonyx begins firing sporadically into the darkness. Not a very good shot, to be honest
124
<Jitterbug>: They're coming for yoooooooooooou
125
<Jitterbug>: YOu better ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
126
<Baryonyx>: "OH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE" he wastes a magazine shooting at you rather badly
127
Jitterbug hops down
128
<Jitterbug>: Out of bullets, aren't you?
129
<Baryonyx>: He throws down the gun, obviously not having it with this 'gun' thing. He likes a good beat down
130
<Baryonyx>: The soldiers are clearly hirelings, not very loyal. They are freaked the fuck out, thinking this would just be a simple mob job
131
Jitterbug puts up her dukes
132
<Jitterbug>: Never fought a dinosaur before. Should be fun
133
<Baryonyx>: Baryonyx lets out a roar, charges forward with a large fist for an uppercut. He moves incredibly quick. [Remember the basics of CQC]
134
135
<Jitterbug>: ON IT!]
136
<Jitterbug>: FOR YOU, GREENE!]
137
138
Jitterbug ducks to the side, comes up with a knee to the chest
139
<Baryonyx>: Baryonyx lets out a huff of a roar, pushed back a bit. He is quick to drop to the ground and do a leg sweep 
140
Jitterbug flies up in the air, and kicks Baryonyx in the faaaaaaaaaaaace
141
<Baryonyx>: The Baryonyx is quick to see the kick, and his large maw opens up. He bites your leg, although he quickly throws you to the side with his strong jaw so the wound isn't as serious as it could have been
142
Jitterbug slams against the wall
143
Baryonyx is quick to capitalize, rushing in to give a rough stomp on you
144
<Jitterbug>: Augh! Crap!
145
Jitterbug raises her arms to stop the stomping, and grab at his feet
146
<Baryonyx>: His foot is in your hands
147
Jitterbug flies, and lifts him upside down. He spreads the legs open, and smashes a fist into his junk
148
149
<Maw>: [ehehehe, namedrop]
150
<Jitterbug>: namedrop?]
151
<Baryonyx>: [earlier it said maw]
152
<Baryonyx>: [he's a slowpoke]
153
<Maw>: [I was getting antacid tablets ._.]
154
<Jitterbug>: ah, gotcha[
155
<Jitterbug>: Dibbles! Look! I'm punching a dinosaur in the junk!]
156
157
Jitterbug gets kick in the arm, dropping him
158
Baryonyx howls in pain, but suppresses it rather well. With his other foot he delivers a sharp kick upward at you to get loose
159
160
Jitterbug gets kick in the arm, dropping him
161
Baryonyx drops to the floor, catching himself with his hands rather swiftly, doing a handstand before flipping upwards onto his feet
162
Baryonyx attempts a staggering snap kick at the flying jitters
163
Jitterbug gets kicked in the chest, getting the wind knocked out of her
164
Baryonyx in a grand finale, spins around and delivers a roundhouse kick
165
Jitterbug grabs his foot, and tosses him against a wall
166
Baryonyx is smashed against the wall
167
<Baryonyx>: the dinosaur headed man slumps down, the wall doing a deal to him
168
<Baryonyx>: "grrrrrgh" he growls
169
170
<Jitterbug>: THE WALL!]
171
<Jitterbug>: RUN!]
172
173
<Jitterbug>: No, you stay down, or, I will keep you down
174
<Jitterbug>: Understood?
175
176
<Baryonyx>: the wall breaks through the vault. you have to pass him to get the treasure]
177
<Baryonyx>: [YOU HAVE TO PASS THE WALL]
178
179
Baryonyx tries to get up, putting up his dukes
180
<Baryonyx>: "C'mon you bitch, lets dance!"
181
<Jitterbug>: Oh for god sakes....
182
Jitterbug chirps and hisses loudly
183
Baryonyx runs and does a right hook
184
Jitterbug waves her right arm, diverting the blow, and smacking him in the face with his right fist
185
<Baryonyx>: The dinosaur man falls back, his snout smacked
186
<Jitterbug>: The walls begin to shake, and the lights go out, as the entire room begins to flood with cockroaches. Covering over Baronyx, it is a sea of shells and scuttling, and feels uncofrotable as all hell
187
<Baryonyx>: "OH GOD WHAT EVEN WHAT"
188
Baryonyx is overtaken by roaches
189
<Baryonyx>: "NO! NO! DAMN IT NOOOOOOO"
190
<Jitterbug>: Arenivaga investigata, fiesty little guys eh?
191
<Jitterbug>: Yea, lots of them up here, but, I just had to get little Enrique here to round them out
192
Jitterbug says, putting a finger down, as a small one crawls on her hand
193
<Jitterbug>: Thanks buddy!
194
Jitterbug strokes the roach with her antennae
195
Baryonyx is dragged away by the cockroaches, like a true villain always gets beaten
196
<Jitterbug>: Now
197
Jitterbug dust off her hands
198
<Jitterbug>: Let's guess into this vault
199
Jitterbug walks over to the vault, as the cave clears of the roaches
200
<Jitterbug>: Baryonyx is dragged away by the cockroaches, like a true villain always gets beaten <Jitterbug>: Now Jitterbug dust off her hands <Jitterbug>: Let's guess into this vault
201
<Jitterbug>: Baryonyx is dragged away by the cockroaches, like a true villain always gets beaten <Jitterbug>: Now Jitterbug dust off her hands <Jitterbug>: Let's guess into this vault
202
<Greene>: The vault is there, a small keyhole right in the center of it. The soldiers have long since fled
203
<Jitterbug>: Hmmmmm
204
<Jitterbug>: I wonder what goes in there....
205
Jitterbug pulls out the key, and puts it into the hole
206
<Jitterbug>: Bwoooooooooooop
207
<Greene>: the vault opens with a loud creek. Inside is a small room, but you see briefcases upon briefcases of money stacked on top of one another. A antique looking, and very beautiful, silver cup sits on top of the pile
208
<Greene>: The smell of that cheap cigarette starts to come through again
209
<Jitterbug>: Oh no you don't!
210
<Jitterbug>: John, if you do anything, I swear, I will bring back the roaches!
211
<Greene>: John walks down into the room, he shrugs
212
<Greene>: "I told you I'd help bring it to the cars, didn't I?
213
<Greene>: "Calm down for a second"
214
<Jitterbug>: Right....
215
Jitterbug goes over to look at the cup
216
<Greene>: "....Except the cup"
217
<Greene>: "I need that"
218
<Jitterbug>: Hmmm, well, what if I say no?
219
<Jitterbug>: You said this was all mine, wasn't it?
220
Jitterbug starts tossing the cup between her hands
221
<Greene>: "Bella, the /money/ I promised. I need that cup"
222
<Greene>: John has gotten serious
223
<Jitterbug>: Oh, poor little John not gonna get what he wants?
224
Jitterbug says, laughing
225
<Jitterbug>: I might just consider this your wedding gift, sound good?
226
<Greene>: He gets visibly mad
227
<Greene>: "If you want a goddamn answer to your earlier question it has to do with the cup"
228
<Jitterbug>: What question?
229
<Greene>: "About getting here"
230
<Jitterbug>: Hmmm, maaaaaaybe
231
<Jitterbug>: Answer first, then cup
232
<Greene>: "But that cup is /mine/, no, its the family's. And I need to get it back or else I'm not going to be able to get some goddamn sleep
233
<Greene>: the way he says sleep sounds strange
234
<Greene>: "Give me the cup and I'll show you!"
235
<Jitterbug>: Well, by that definition, couldn't Rob have it as well?
236
<Greene>: "Rob had it once, it was his. Then I borrowed it"
237
<Greene>: "And I need to get it back"
238
<Jitterbug>: Hmmm, alright
239
<Jitterbug>: One more thing then
240
<Greene>: "What?"
241
<Jitterbug>: You promise to stop being a colassal ass to Greene
242
<Greene>: "Listen, after this, I won't bother you two"
243
<Jitterbug>: Right
244
Jitterbug tosses John the Cup
245
<Greene>: John takes the cup. He seems to take on a transparent quality for a second, then returns solid.
246
<Greene>: "Thanks"
247
<Jitterbug>: Now, get talking
248
<Greene>: a few of his men come in and begin bringing in the briefcases
249
Jitterbug starts to pick up suitcases, and carry them outside
250
<Greene>: "Get them to the car, you'll see on a stop home"
251
<Greene>: in due time, all the briefcases are brought to the trucks. John gets in the drivers seat of one of them, expecting you to sit in the other seat
252
Jitterbug sits on the roof
253
<Greene>: John has not let go of the cup since he's gotten it
254
Jitterbug opens the door, and enters the car
255
<Greene>: "Ready to head home?"
256
<Greene>: he is still smoking those obnoxious cigarettes
257
<Jitterbug>: Yea
258
<Jitterbug>: Drive me home, buddy
259
<Greene>: he starts up the truck, they begin driving off. every time you blink, you are in some other location. a road. rain, desert, snow, sun, fields, until you reach a rather open wide praire with a hill on it
260
<Greene>: he stops the car there, steps out
261
<Greene>: "I won't be joining you home"
262
<Greene>: he goes up the hill, expecting you to follow
263
Jitterbug follows wearily
264
<Greene>: at the top there seems to be a grave there, a shallow one the kind you'd expect a runaway or a cowboy to make. John stands before it rather solemnly
265
<Greene>: a wooden cross makes up the tombstone, but its hard to read from far away. 
266
Jitterbug walks closer to the tombstone to inspect it
267
<Greene>: Closer is something you take a second to understand, as its so outlandish. Inscribed on it is "Johnathan Greene. 1989-2004".
268
<Greene>: John doesn't say a word
269
<Jitterbug>: Oh...
270
<Jitterbug>: This...was your guys dad?
271
<Greene>: "No"
272
<Jitterbug>: Wait, then...who?
273
<Jitterbug>: Wait, then...who?
274
<Greene>: "Hell, the guy would have been a weird father to have conceived Rob when he was 6"
275
<Greene>: "Its me"
276
<Greene>: "Finally getting some sleep, too"
277
<Jitterbug>: Wiat, what?
278
<Jitterbug>: g-g-g-GHOST DAD!]
279
<Greene>: "I ran away when I was little, left little bro Rob alone. I took the cup with me"
280
<Greene>: "Lasted 3 years or so out in the world"
281
<Greene>: "Always thought I'd be the big shot cowboy that me and him used to watch on TV" he says, adjusting his duster a bit
282
<Jitterbug>: So wait, you're...dead?
283
<Greene>: "Took you long enough didn't it?"
284
<Greene>: John smiles a bit, he changes. Loses age until he looks about 15, the age on the tombstone.
285
<Greene>: "Get the cup back to Rob for me, will ya?"
286
Jitterbug tries to stick her hand through John
287
<Greene>: goes right through 
288
<Greene>: John looks genuinely happy for once. 
289
<Greene>: He still keeps his nonchalant nature about him
290
Jitterbug yelps in surprise
291
<Jitterbug>: Holy cripes!
292
<Jitterbug>: So...how did you...pass?
293
<Greene>: "Went out here with a few others. Got bit by a rattler"
294
<Greene>: "Nowhere to go for miles"
295
<Greene>: "It was good though, Rob would be jealous of the cowboy death I got"
296
<Greene>: "But, I still had some business. Old ghost stories are true sometimes"
297
<Jitterbug>: Do you want me to tell him?
298
<Greene>: "Now that the cup is dealt with, I think I can finally move along. Might come back to see whatever the hell kind of kids you weirdos make"
299
<Greene>: "And lets keep it a secret until then, eh?"
300
<Jitterbug>: Yea, gotcha....
301
<Greene>: "I figure I could count making good with my bro an unfinished business, but I can take a rest now that most of this is done"
302
<Greene>: John tosses the cup to her
303
Jitterbug catches the cup
304
<Greene>: "I already made good with dad. Rob aughta do the same one day. Things have changed"
305
<Jitterbug>: I'll make sure of it
306
<Greene>: He yawns a bit
307
<Greene>: "Now, I'm off to see mom. Take care of my brother or I'll haunt you for the rest of your weird pseudo-eternal life"
308
<Jitterbug>: Can do, John
309
<Jitterbug>: I'll seeya round, okay?
310
<Greene>: "Hah. Sure. See you around, Bella"
311
Jitterbug waves, smiling, as some tears go down her face
312
<Greene>: John fades away slowly into the breeze until there is nothing standing there
313
<Greene>: Just the grave of a long dead teenager.
314
Jitterbug takes a closer look at the cup
315
<Greene>: The cup is made of silver, ornate engravings, an ivory stem, and studs of jewel make it look to be very old. This must've belonged to the family.
316
<Greene>: It is a beautiful piece, to say the least. 
317
Jitterbug smiles, and then heads to the car
318
<Greene>: You blink once again, you are back at the shack. The briefcases are stacked neatly by the door
319
<Jitterbug>: Thanks, John
320
Jitterbug sniffs the air for Greene
321
<Greene>: Greene is in the shack, asleep on the couch
322
Jitterbug rustled Greene
323
<Jitterbug>: awake]
324
<Greene>: [rustled my jimmies, you did]
325
Greene yawns, wakes up
326
<Greene>: "Oh, good mor- evening honey"
327
<Jitterbug>: Hey Rob, good news!
328
<Greene>: "Good news?"
329
Greene sits himself up
330
<Jitterbug>: Yea! Turns out, your brother? Ain't that bad of a dude!
331
<Greene>: "...John? Bella are you sick? You get brainwashed? Is this even Bella?"
332
<Greene>: "Guy was a jerk to ya"
333
<Jitterbug>: Well, he sort of helped me get this...
334
Jitterbug picks up the suitcases
335
<Jitterbug>: and this...
336
Jitterbug pulls out the cup from behind her back
337
Greene takes a second to recognize it, then his draw drops
338
<Greene>: "Wh-wha even I don't HOLY CRAP" he says in a confused and happy state
339
<Greene>: "How'd you get this"
340
<Jitterbug>: With help from your brother, we got it from a vault
341
<Greene>: "I... thank you!" he gets up and hugs her and plants a kiss on her as well
342
<Greene>: "I thought it was gone for good"
343
Greene is a little bit teary eyed. That cup has some memories. 
344
<Jitterbug>: Well, it ain't going anywhere, Rob, just like me, and your family
345
Jitterbug pecks Rob on the cheek
346
<Greene>: "I just... my god this is amazing."
347
<Greene>: "I always just sort of reasoned that John took it to remind himself of mom, its why he took it from me. But he got it back for me? And you helped? I don't even know what to say"
348
