Improv.

Alot of talking

Ughhhhh how long was I out. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Goddamn it, Tracey, Whitney, Lee... fuck. Okay this is fine. I'm just going to get out of here and find somewhere that I can get back to the story because I think the guys left me after I got hit during the siege. Either way the ship isn't here and I'm alone in a field covered with burn marks so I'm going to make sure I am safe and can contact them for pick up. While we are waiting I'm going to resume.

"So which one of you kids wants to go first!"
"Excuse me Mr..."
"Deathkitten, Lucifer Deathkitten."
"Okay Lucifer I'll go first being team leader and all."
"No you go last. Leader always gets the last pick because he shouldn't need the better mods. Although you being so enthusiastic I might reserve a special mod for you."

This was probably the point of the conversation where I realized that he had stopped looking at me and was sizing up everyone else and was staring intently at Bill. "Since nobody else seems to want to go first other than numero uno and meathead who seems to be saying pick me under his breath. Yes I can hear you by the way big boy. I'm going to go from weakest to strongest from what I can see so far. That appears to be you boy."
As if he was standing behind him the entire time Lucifer came out of nowhere and dragged him into the back room behind the desk.

Only after a few seconds of being in there we heard screaming from all directions. This was Bill screaming for help. We raced into the back room to see that Bill was strapped down to a large table and was being forced to choose between 10 colored mods. It was Bills worst fear, actually making choices himself. It was the main reason Bill and Lee were dating. They had been the only gay kids at our school and one was afraid of choices and the other a control freak. Bill being the smarter and stronger of the two he was the one that took care of the work, while Lee chose what to do and planned it out to the detail. A match made in heaven.

"Jeez why don't you all come in." Lucifer was leaning against the wall and was acting like a moody teen, and I'm one to talk, but jeez. "As I was saying to your wuss of a friend over here I have ten... well technically eleven, but that one is for you numero uno, functioning mods. I have a few more that I'll give to your for some scavenging work, because they need to be fixed up, but don't worry about that now."

If you are wondering what Lucifer was like, he is your stereotypical American southerner. Loves big flashy explosions and guns as well as building things with his own two hands and a southern accent that is smooth yet threatening at the same time.

In the end Bill made the first decision for himself in a while. He chose the gravity mod. He can control gravity in a small radius at will.

Lee got the mobile mod. He can move in pretty much any direction pretty fast even for the suits we were equipped with.

Dave got the protector mod. It is a mobile shield that boosts his strength and defenses, he can also project it to other people, but Jarvis is not really good with that (yes he named his AI Jarvis because of Iron Man. Which is Ironic because his AI is rage).

Maria got the mercy mod. Basically she can teleport to whoever has the least armor/health and she can recharge shields faster than they would normally charge. We kinda use this as an escape route because Whit usually stays back to snipe and she keeps a knife on her and when we need a getaway we all grab on to Maria and Whit stabs herself in the leg.

Tracey got the Valkyrie mod. She basically becomes a walking tank with enhanced strength but at the cost of speed.

Whitney got the stealth mod. She can hide her heat, vitals, and muffles her sound, and she gets cloaking tech. Basically invisibly the lucky son of a bitch.

What did I get you might ask well I got the Time Mod. What I can do is I can summon a bunch of copies of myself from doomed timelines, or timelines that shoot off of the primary one and are a dead end, I can also travel back in time. Kinda. I can bring myself back around 5 minutes at most and I can't use time travel to go forward in time. I also can't double up on traveling. So if I go back 5 minutes I can't go back to anytime between the time I jumped or the time I arrived at.

Those are just our OG mods too. Each one of us has at least four right now. When I am at least. I think Dave has the most at 14.

The only drawback to mods is that you can only use them in accordance to specific rule sets applied to the mod (like the no forward travel and no double time loop thing) and you can only use two at a time (three for me because I have a double AI fragment).

A full AI could run around 100 mods at the same time, but nobody has ever tried because it would probably set their armor on fire and no one has really had a full AI for that long.
