What Marks the Beginning (Landing B)

:This event is part of the What Marks the Beginning Role-Play.
In recent days, an anonymous superpower has waged war on the world. His whereabouts unknown, his abilities shrouded in mystery, he claims to be the most powerful superhuman in the world.
You are in New York City. It is a cold, rainy day and the enormous screen in the center of time square illuminates a haze in the ceaseless downpour as the omnipresent voice blares over every speaker in the world. People are shocked, confused, panicked. But there is a small crowd gathering under the eaves of a shop. They whisper among themselves and seem strangely calm. You strain your ears out of curiosity but can hear only two words:
Like us...
==Dark Gathering==
"It isn't anything any of us couldn't do. There's nothing we could lose if this power is at the end of the tunnel. Ever thought what people could do with that power? People like us?"
A young man seemingly leading the conversation stops and turns to you as you approach.
"Who are you?" he asks...
==Chapter 1==
  A small girl walks slowly through the rain, rythmically slapping her hand against her leg. The teen looks up, rain running away from her eyes, dark windows into a still darker soul. She lifts a hand, and the rain around her stops, hanging in the air like corpses.
"I am Altrui. I am going to kill you." She breathes.
"I don't think so," Nicholas says. He looks her in the eye.
She lowers her hand slowly. It's like looking in a mirror for her. She sees it in his eyes.
Vengeance...
"We are..." She pauses as if thinking of the correct word, "the same."
"We're all the same, Altrui." Nicholas smiles.
