2nd Arc- The Hunted Six

The general public is sold the idea that the Six were responsible for the explosion (except Bud, they think he's just a monster) and great leaps are made to connect them to each other, with Roger's activities "leaked" by the FBI leading to them all considered criminals of some kind. This leads to a massive manhunt between federal and local law enforcement. As well as some criminal and corporate elements.

This intense coverage does make them all aware that each other exists, and leads to each of them meeting briefly before going on their ways. They also realize that none of them are responsible for the accident, as the only one with the scientific knowledge to perhaps activate it would be Cyreen, who had been no where near the machine for several days and admittedly thought the machine's presence to be a joke. The media is less understanding however, and spin a story of dread that turns the public opinion against the Six.

Throughout this span of time, the Six have various adventures, close calls, and experiences, and through it all they become aware that someone is pulling the strings of this hunt, and they all separately and simultaneously want to know why. Also, their powers begin to evolve, and they begin to experience abilities.

Eva- Has learned to manifest wings of shadow, which grant her flight (nearly limitless at night) and allows for less draining transport than manifesting. Her skin has also begun to store light which she can release as blinding flashes. Not really an offensive power, but it allows her to use high light situations to her advantage.
*mental changes-Has grown up quick out of necessity, emotionally imbalanced from her life as a fugitive. Is no longer traveling with Randel, as they drew too much attention. Has become good at disguising herself.

Hernan- Can now shoot a stream of fire directly from his hands. His body has also grown abnormally strong, allowing him to resist a great deal of trauma that would keep a normal person down.
*mental changes-Still mourns the loss of his family, uses his anger to keep from falling into despair.

Bud- Can exude a corrosive toxin from his claws which he is immune from. Can also imbue his bite with acidic properties as well. Has grown an extra 12 inches tall.
*mental changes- Resents being treated as a monster, which translates to a cunning and savage style of combat for those who try to cross him. Misses conversations, but does enjoy the natural strengths of his new body.

Roger- Through use, can now slow down time even longer and with less fatigue. Has also developed a slight six sense, allowing him to hit targets without aiming, but is only really accurate at short ranges, and he tries not to over rely on it.
*mental changes- Has become very focused and committed to  learning what has happened to the Six, who is behind it, and what their limits are. Has spent a good deal of time expanding his knowledge of sciences and advanced technology.

Cyreen- The outermost layer of metal on her body has become malleable, allowing her to shape shift and to look like other people (complete with pigment). Can also mimic any voice, which allows her to blend in easier then the rest.
*mental changes- Is already feeling more than human, and shows the least mercy to those who try and harm her. Spends a good deal of time trying to find the awnsers to what happened at the Museum, when not on the run.

Randel- Can radiate a cold aura which chills anyone within range, and freeze any liquid nearby. The aura allows him to gain traction on icy surfaces, which makes trying to fight him hand to hand, even harder. Has also gained a slight ability to manipulate the weather, but nothing major.
*mental changes- Is distrustful of most people he encounters, and finds that he is growing tired of the negativity thrown at him and the other Six when he knows he did nothing wrong. Dislikes seeing the little guy get stepped on.
