Sometime, rational thought is the conscience speaking to a person in order to talk them out of doing something horrible. It is what put a person’s morality in order like: “Should they push their friend over the edge of the cliff? Should they steal that item when the clerk isn’t looking? Should they murder their next-door neighbor because he’s being an ass-hole?”
Sigmund Freud believes that a human’s conscious compose of three importance thing: the ego, the superego and the id. The id is the most violent, animalistic and instinct subconscious thought that driven by desire and satisfaction. It is the job of the ego to give the id what it want without worrying about dealing with the consequence of their action. So for an insane driven man, irrationality become what dominate their needs and desire without anything to hold them back.
So tonight, Anonymous decided to sneak inside the Emerald Chemical Industry near the Univserity in order to obtain a certain chemical compound that could help him in the future. That, and maybe getting something strong enough to remove that stupid stain from whatever ooze shot at him when he was at the observatory. Since the supermarket’s price for food had increase because of the Pandaemonium, he had to get something nice and relaxing to do before he exploded with rage from all the built-up frustration.
Sneaking inside the building wasn’t hard: all he has to do is disguise himself as one of the security guards in the building. Once he’s in, he slowly make his way toward the laboratory in order to synthesize the chemical that he was after. The progress is time-consuming and tedious, but it’ll be all worth it once he completed his experiment. Once this chemical is finished, he can finally have that day at the spa like he always wanted.
SCHEME: synthesizing and gathered any good chemical data in the lab and save them for later

Envy sat on top of a wall, kicking her tiny feet back and forth. She took a break from eating a sandwich to pop open another can of beer. Most of the day's activities were finished, so now she was taking a moment to observe the scenery around her. Maybe it was the alcohol, but the university looked a lot prettier than she remembered. Certainly not better than Evergreen Hollow, but certainly worth taking a few pictures sometime.
Taking another bite of food, a growing dissatisfaction began to eat away at her enjoyment of the meal. She was hungry for a different kind of sustenance, but this would do for now. No one expected her to show up at work until tomorrow night. There was still plenty of time to figure out how to return to a more normal height and weight.
For now, more eating.
Supporting. . . after finishing this sandwich. Nutrition is important.

Out of all the places in the city, Aurora least wanted to go after any of the schools. They tended to be cesspools of corruption, but for the time being she didn't want to get them shut down. But then they had to go and fuck everything up as usual. She wasn't willing to turn a blind eye to the corruption, but she was willing to handle it in different ways. This however, required Aurora's touch. There was an accident here, nothing that would normally require her attention, but instead of owning up to their mistake and compensating those affected, they continued to cover up the issue. If Aurora didn't consider the docks hers, and if they weren't already taking advantage of the people that lived there, she might have ignored it. Unfortunately for them, she felt like she was responsible for those people, and they deserved retribution and compensation.
Her aurora filled the sky in the area, taking up more space than it normally would. She wanted everyone to know that she was here, and she wanted there to be no mistakes about what was happening. Aurora wouldn't touch the site of the accident, but everything else was fair game. There would be cameras everywhere, there would be no mistake in what happened here. Everyone would see it. Once she was close enough to the building, she opened up a large hole in the top and dropped down with her aurora trailing behind her like water going down a drain. She landed in the building with a loud clang as her boots made contact with the hard floor. From there, she darted off to the labs to take everything there.
OPPOSING: In a few minutes this entire place will be sparkles.

After the fight against the dragon, Dullahan had needed quite a bit of time to recuperate. Not physiologically - his brain was in fine condition, and the rest of his body had been on the other side of the city. However, the hardware he had been relying on had been either destroyed or hijacked in the battle.
While he rebuilt some new bodies, he had taken the opportunity to modify himself as well. His remaining neural matter weighed less than a pound after he excised the majority of the limbic system. And he was quite eager to give his new hardware a test.
He didn't quite see the point of this errand, but that was to be expected when working with Aurora. A raid on the university might yield some rare materials, though, so he had allowed himself to be convinced to come along. The dark silhouette of a small plane was visible high above the university, equipped with high-resolution thermal imaging to allow Dullahan to see inside the buildings. He carefully tracked Aurora's position as he sent a message through their radio link.
"Not everyone is scattering. Be prepared for complications."
OPPOSING: Aurora's hobbies are weird as ever.

Dullahan's warning made Aurora sigh. It didn't matter how much advance warning she gave people, there were always going to be some idiots that stayed around for one reason or another. Aurora didn't intend to hurt them, but she wasn't going to go out of her way to avoid it at this point. She'd done due diligence in making sure people could get out of here before anything started.
"Noted, just watch what you're doing, especially if any of them start approaching me."

As he was working with the computer and some of the chemistry lab equipment, he noticed an array of colorful particle from outside his window. Without any second guess, he could tell who it was; Aurora seems to always pop during his work and interrupt everything, and she seems to have it out for laboratory recently. This is quite troublesome, especially when he feel like he’s on the verge to complete his chemical compound. Obviously he doesn’t want her to destroy this data, and he still need quite some time to complete the molecular blue-print for the compound without being interrupted by some little girl with too much pent-up anger issue.
“Urg, what else is new?” he said to himself, feeling annoyed at the situation at hand, "I really don't have time for this."
He scanned the general area for any other supers nearby that might intrude on his work. Soon enough he got a bearing of two more brain-pattern: one is flying high above them, while the other is sitting on the roof.
“Great, Dullahan have to be here as well; these Pandaemoniums really have no life outside of making a mess everywhere they go, aren’t they?”
Going toward one of the computer in the lab, he continued his work on the compound while keeping a close attention to their position. He isn’t much for a multi-task, but he couldn’t afford losing this data for the future possibility.

It took her a moment, but eventually Envy realized the glittering lights weren't a natural part of the scenery. She took another sip of her drink, no too interested in getting involved. It was probably just some passing by.
When the sparkles didn't leave, Envy tasted a sample of the power's energy. What she absorbed in that brief second caught her immediate attention. Plans changed. Whoever this person was had a lot of vitality, certainly they could afford to share a bit. Maybe someone like Envy could take a few bites now and save herself the trouble of looking for a meal tomorrow. It'd be nice to sleep in for once.
Envy hopped off the wall, stumbling a bit as she immediately lost her balance. That first drop was larger than expected. Steadying herself against the side of the building, she moved closer to the newly arrived supers.

"I can't make any guarantees about my targeting from up here," Dullahan transmitted to Aurora. "Ensure that you dissolve anything that ends up heading directly toward you. I was certain not to pack any lasers this time, so we shouldn't have any repeats of that particular incident."
Hatches opened on the side of Dullahan's plane, revealing a variety of weapons and gadgetry. It was time to provide some support.

Now that Aurora was in the lab proper, she cracked her knuckles and got ready. This would only be the first target, but the time she was done there wouldn't be a lot left here. Immediately, the entire room started to flood with sparkles as she started to take everything in the room, even the things that were nailed down. The only things she avoided were the bottles full of liquids, only because she didn't want to cause another accident here. She also left the structure of the building in tact. She had no intention of damaging it more than she had already because she wanted to make two things clear: 1, where she entered, and 2, the site of the accident here. Destroying anything else would obfuscate those.
"Let me put it this way Dullahan. If you hit me with anything, I'm not going to give you anything I pick up here. Got it?"

As soon as he heard the loud commotion out on the hallway, he can already tell Aurora is closing in on his location. Without a moment of hesitation, Anonymous quickly saved any data he got from his own compound into his flash drive. At the very least he managed to get the crude data of his own experiment; if he managed to get rid of the interlopers, he can either continue his work or looking through the data the company have in them. For now, he has enough data to continued his experiment without the need of fancy lab equipment.
In the meantime, he turned his attention toward the two Pandaemoniums near his vicinity. Making sure his flashdrive is as safe as it can be, he get himself ready for Aurora’s destruction wave coming at him. The only question is: which one should he focus on?

Before she could properly begin her meal, a more pressing matter caused Envy to shudder in fear. An enormous amount of energy was headed her way. It didn't take a genius to realize the importance of avoiding that beam. Staying in vacuum mode to suck up all those pretty sparkles would potentially draw that laser thing toward her body, so Envy turned off her power and ran further inside the building.
After making a sharp turn, she bumped into a large man who apparently worked at this lab. Already in full-on flight mode, Envy only bothered to knock him aside as she kept moving.
Where did that attack even come from? It didn't match the earlier pattern of whoever else was in this building, not that there weren't strange powers out there capable of completely disparate effects. Slowing down to take a glance outside through the nearest window, Envy spotted a small airplane circling the area. "Oh. Well then. . ."

Dullahan grumbled internally at Aurora's retort. As easy as it would be to turn that threat around and refuse to help her with her future plots, that wouldn't be a very rational choice. She held the leverage here, both in that she was especially dangerous for him to oppose, and in that she had other willing helpers.
Not to mention that it probably wouldn't be that hard to avoid shooting her in the first place. Dullahan brought his plane around for another pass.
