The streets of Denver are covered in night fall. Stars shining bright as the city lights stream from block to block like lasers and mirrors. The city scape screams with the sounds of cars driving, people yelling at the street corners, and youngster trying to be thugs. This city was in danger of it’s self. But none could prepare their selves when 2 weeks earlier, two titans clashed in LoDo while in heated battle. The People’s Hero named Blue Jacket, He was just a teen that to matters into his own hands when he wanted to stop everything beyond bullying. He became a hero stopping all petty crimes from LoDo to 5Points. But the biggest challenge came for him when he accidentally busted an underground mercenary group called “Presque” from terrorizing the people of 5Pionts. Not only the threat was doing illegal activities in the area but they were siphoning fossil fuels from 300 feet below ground and experimenting on it trying to create a counterfeit version that they could sell to their employers. But when Blue Jacket came along their projected failed. But out of the failure, one scientist of Presque made a discovery of a life form hidden in the oil itself. The Scientist’s name is Xenovia, a very disturbed scientist who on the verge of death she bonded with the life form giving her the appearance of an alien-like reptile that wasn’t of this world but very ancient. Xenovia begged for Blue Jacket to save her when the machine that held the brown liquid life form fell right on her right into her spine ironically. Xenovia vowed to kill Blue Jacket if it’s the last thing she’ll go. Blue Jacket didn’t know how to deal with the mutated woman, he was just into stopping petty crimes not fight bio creatures. The two enemies fought nearly to the death every time they even cross paths. Well it was more like trying not to get clawed at while making the enemy hurt herself in the process. But sometimes when a hero is in need of a assistants he could easily call for help. Blue Jacket wasn’t the only one in Denver who had a knack putting a stop to crime. Luckily for him, his older cousin “Blue Burst” was the very one who taught him all he knows about free running or “Parkour” that some like to call it. They use base jumping as an option to get out of sticky situations like running from a 7 foot tall oil covered reptile lady in black. It was a spectacle for people to watch, like watching “Tom & Jerry” vs “Ninja Assassin”.
Even though Xenovia had a hand full of enemies trying to stop her from getting her revenge, The was one person who had a very deep hatred for her. Hatred so deep it reaches beyond the limits. Elizabeth Azure, a once agent for the group Presque turned drifter, had a plan to eliminate the one person who did her wrong so many months ago. Azure was beaten to death by her former best friend Xenovia then was force to watch the death of her lover Alex. Azure set her eyes on killing Xenovia once and for all. But she didn’t want to draw attention to herself so she changed her hair style from being brushed backwards with one long curl up front to feathery short wave hair with bangs. Also she changed her name to “Sky” to honor her lover. Plus as a huge assist for her revenge she also had a special suit she found in the base where she worked. A kind of bio-mechanical suit that liquefies around her kind of like something you would see in a science fiction flick or comic books. The suit covered her whole body, except the red scarp she wears and holds dear. The suit gave her more support to her newly modified spine that allows her to bend backs like no one well could. She had the speed of the wind and made her like as a feather. She could climb skyscrapers within minutes.
Sky made her way to LoDo, it was quiet in the streets even in the middle of the day. Sky wanted around and saw newspapers with stories of the fight between Blue Jacket and Xenovia. Sky thought to herself maybe she could spy on Blue Jacket and maybe he could lead her to Xenovia. So Sky rented a hotel room in the area where most of the events take place. Sky waited for days upon days waiting for the next big fight. 4 weeks had past and still no sign until one day. Sky was laying in bed staring at the sealing when suddenly she heard two loud thumps on the rooftops. Sky quickly activated her bio-suite then she dashed out of room and climbed to the roof. She saw two people in blue laughing at each other while jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Sky followed them to see where they were headed. The two was none other than Blue Jacket himself and Blue Burst, the two were training there selves by doing the basics of Parkour. The two seemed to be talking about how were they going to handle Xenovia next time she shows up. Sky knew what she had to do. She had to keep following them until they encounter Xenovia again.
It has been 5 weeks and Sky is getting restless. She followed Blue Jacket and Blue Burst. Yet still no sign of Xenovia anywhere. Sky became very much angry at everything around her. She wanted her revenge against Xenovia like a shark to blood. Sky wanted to bathe in Xenovia’s blood for all the she cared. Sky had started going insane with visions of from her past of when they were friends. Violently beating the memory out of her mind and yet the memory of the once calm girl whom she took under her wing kept reappearing like a ghost in The Christmas Carol. About a few rounds of madness, Sky had an epiphany, in order to have great revenge she must put her anger behind and just excel in what’s to come. She didn’t really know what became of Xenovia after her transformation but there’s no doubt that she was far from humanity.
Sky placed a mental note that Xenovia might not be human anymore and it is her duty to put her out of everyone’s misery once and for all. Sky meditated for days just waiting for any signs that anyone had encountered Xenovia but it seemed hopeless. On the television there was breaking news of sighting of a woman with black scales wrecking a whole building down trying to kill Blue Jacket and Blue Burst. Sky snapped out of meditation and activated her bio-suit for some action. Sky was ready fight Xenovia.
Sky trotted from rooftop to rooftop looking for the abandoned building that was destroyed 6 hours earlier. It seemed nearly impossible to find the wreckage until she found the rubble cloaked in dust. Sky landed where the front entrance use to be. She slowly scanned the area instantly can tell before this building went down there was definitely signs of a huge struggle. There was shattered wooden stairs all over the concrete gravel. Shards of glass had been scatter all around the plain of destruction. In the middle of the wreckage there was a massive chandelier almost totally twisted up like an animal had torn it to shreds. Sky was determined to find any sign of Xenovia, but it was no use.
Minutes later, Sky decided to stay longer dwelling in the wreckage trying to find any kind of evidence but still nothing. At a distance, there was a bright red glow trying to emerge from the lingering ashes from the building. Sky could smell the strong scent of burnt rubber and gasoline burning from a distance. All she knew was that it was another step to find Xenovia. Sky chased the scent jumping through broken pieces of twisted metal, wood, and glass. The scents lead her to an abandoned warehouse that was engulfed in flames. Sky stared at the flames for thirty minutes trying to lock away thoughts of what Xenovia did to her and Alex months back. Out of the blue there was a scream for help within the burning building. Sky snapped out of her inner turmoil and dashed into the build.
The flames were roared like hellhounds calling for the souls of the damned. Everything seemed to be a beacon of fire. The heat was that of a burning airplane after a crash. The atmosphere was chaotic but not a soul in sight. Sky was unaffected but the scorching embers, her suit seemed extremely resistant to heat. Sky’s temperature was the same as a grocery store at midnight. The fire was just smoke and mist to her. The screaming became louder as she walked through the hellish fire. It sounded like a woman calling for help. Sky had no time to waste just wondering around feeling invincible towards fire, she had to go save that person at all costs. In a look that looked like something from horror film, there were hooks and chains. Graffiti dominated the walls of the room. Sky looked down and saw there was a massive hole on the ground with rubble on the lower level. The screaming voice was coming from that rubble down below.  Sky jumped through an ocean of levitating flames and landed next to the rubble. She started digging through the rubble looking for person trapped inside. Then out came an arm with some kind of forearm brace with a gold insignia encrypted on it. Sky pulled on the arm to get the person out of the pile of broken burnt wood. Sky was shocked to see that the person she had saved was someone she one saw on television. The person she had pulled out of the fire was none other than “Blue Burst”, Blue Jacket’s partner in crime fighting. Sky tried to wake her up but it seems that the smoke got to Burst and knocked her out cold. Sky placed the compromised woman on her back and tied her red scarf around her mouth to block out anymore smoke.
Sky with the Burst on her back started running up the walls because the stairs were burning. Sky swung on broken power cords avoiding any new hole that appeared on the burning floor. As she glided from wall to wall she heard yelling outside of the burning building. Someone outside was calling for someone named Xandra. Sky thought to herself, could Burst be the person who ever is outside looking for her? Sky knew there was only one way out of this hellish building. She had to jump her way out of the third story window. As she jumped from one collapsing platform to another, the cries from whom ever was outside became cries of grief and sorrow. Once Sky made it to the third floor the fire in the building started breaking the building down. The fire was raising very fast so Sky held Burst tight and jumped through the window before the wave of fire could more harm.

Outside while still free falling from the building Sky saw the one who was crying out Burst’s real name. It was the Blue Jacket, on his knees without his mask and goggles. The boy was in tears of grief and sadness thinking his partner had been killed by the flames. So Sky rerouted her landing towards Blue Jacket to prove his sadness wasn’t necessary. Sky called out Blue Jacket to move out of the away as she lands. The poor red headed boy looked up at Sky as she lands to the ground like a failed missile. Dust was blown away as Sky landed. Blue Jacket looked up and saw nothing but a dark purple and white figure carrying his partner in the blur of dust and smoke. Sky carefully placed Burst in front of Blue Jacket. Blue got back on his knees trying to wake up Burst. The young woman still would not wake up. Blue cried even more while trying to wake up Burst but there was nothing he could do. Sky on the other walked over to Burst and placed her hand on Burst’s chest then used her energy as a defibrillator. Pulse after pulse Sky sent a shock through Burst’s body. Just when it seemed she was gone for good. Burst woke up gasping for air. Blue Jacket started crying tears of joy. Burst turned her head and looked at Blue Jacket. She muttered something in French then smiled. Blue said that he couldn’t understand what she just said but he knew it was something good so he smiled back.
10 minutes later after Burst was able to walk again she tried to thank Sky but she refused it. She then said that if they were to encounter a woman named “Xenovia” they should go to the Crystal Motel on Colfax and Colorado Blvd to knock at room A23 three times then say “It looks clear today!”. Though Burst was a little offended about Sky’s refusal of a thank you, Blue Jacket on the other hand saw this as have another Hero ally on his side. So he took in Sky’s coded for future reference. Sky saw that this young man was eager but naive. She felt bad that she had to use him to get to Xenovia. But as she ran off into the distance her guilt started to way in slightly. Sky made it back to the Motel. But as soon as she step foot there she noticed that it was going to close all service in 5 months.

3 weeks have passed and Sky had to hope that Blue Jacket would come back with the info about Xenovia before the year ends. Went into her room and went to the restroom. She stared at herself in the mirror thinking is she doing the right thing. She looked at the mirror and saw a purple head with eyes and sky blue hair with no mouth or nose. Sky’s thoughts were clouding her judgment, then she shed a single tear. She looked down at the sink stared at that one drop of tear. It was glimmering abnormally. She gasped at the sight of her shining tear. Then she looked back at the mirror and saw something that insured her that she was still human. She saw her own real face. The sky suit withdrew itself from her face thus showing who she really is, Elizabeth Azure. Sky had not seen her true face in a year and a half. She was beautiful with her full plump lips, glimmer hazel eyes, and her caramel skin tone. She’s been so focused on her revenge against Xenovia that she forgot who she really was. At that moment she decided to slightly rearrange her goal. She’ll find herself while hunting the one who ruined her life. While embracing her true identity once again the Sky Suit then melted into oblivion this leaving Elizabeth Azure in the nude. This was proof that Woman behind the revengeful suit was still human in every way possible. Elizabeth took a shower washing away her thoughts in this symbolic shower. From her full bosoms through her mysterious curves she could feel her natural body returning back to normal. She spent hours in the shower to the point where the whole motel room steamed up. It became so steamy and hot that Elizabeth fainted from the exposure of all the heat. There was so much steam that it literally leaked out of through the window. To the public eye, the citizens thought that room was on fire.  

The fire department was caught in traffic and the only help in the area that was remotely close was known other than Blue Jacket. He happened to be in the area on his way to Sky’s location. He had received a threat from Xenovia and apparently she had recruited a wild card to assist her. It was to Blue Jacket’s knowledge that the same person who nearly killed his cousin Burst is the same guy who is involved with Xenovia’s schemes. Blue Jacket was uneasy about the whole situation so he personally told Burst to stay behind because he didn’t want her to encounter that person again. Blue knew that the only other person that could remotely help him was Sky. She was that only other person that knows something about her that he doesn’t know. But as soon as he made it to the motel he saw what he thought was smoke. He also saw that the Fire Department was stuck in mass traffic 7 blocks away. So he decided it was time to go do his hero thing.  He ran from rooftop to rooftop going towards the floor with the most smoke. Once he grapples his way to the room he didn’t even notice that the room he was about to go into was that of Sky. But one thing he did notice was that the supposed smoke filled room was actually full of hot steam. He wonder around the room blind. His goggles were blurred out with fogginess. It was virtually impossible to see 2 feet in front of him. But he managed to go into the restroom unknowingly stumbling over Elizabeth who was unconscious on the tile floor. When he heard a slight moan from what he stumbled over, Blue turned around and immediately felt someone was there. So he picked her up and took her outside, but he soon realized she was in the nude so he took off his jacket and covered her with it. Blue Jacket explained to the Motel manager and the Fire Department members that it was a simple case of overheating in a closed environment from steam. Blue went with the ambulance to ensure the woman he found was okay. The nurses said that her blood pressure was through the roof and she had a temperature of 110 degrees. They said she nearly could have died if he didn’t step in to save her.

6 hours later, Elizabeth came to in a hospital bed. She was slow moving and had no memory of her fainting. She summoned the eyes of the Sky Suit to scan the room for information. She then found out the she may have suffered a major heat stroke. When she heard her door open her eyes turned back to normal. Two doctors walked in and they were very concerned. They both explained not only did she make a full recovery but it was abnormal that the time frame of is was just in a matter of half an hour. Elizabeth was reluctant to explain her situation with the Sky Suit dwelling inside of her being. But then the doctors then said that Blue Jacket was the one who saved her and he was still in the building. Soon after he stepped in with full costume on, he brought her flowers and a get well card. Blue was stuttering while asking if she was okay. Elizabeth saw that the naïve hero in training was in fact a hero all along. She took that into consideration. Blue Jacket spoke to Elizabeth for hours about how he stood by to make sure that she was okay. By the time Blue Jacket made his leave. The doctors came back asking if they could do some blood tests on her to see why she healed so fast. Elizabeth quickly told the doctors she needed her privacy to think about it. The doctors left the room as requested.  As soon as that door closed Elizabeth took off all hospital cloths and materialized back into the Sky Suit. She opened the window and made her leave. As soon as the doctors walked in, their patient was gone.
Long Wait has finally ended....... Sky's Back story goes into favor of the Blue guy himself.
