Ch 24 To the Rescue! (All)

[Mierin]

"All right, Will." Alice replies over the radio and goes to lean up against the car and keeps an eye out for any sign of danger.

Alice turns to Jason to see if he was still going to pout about being left outside or if he was going to start acting like the professional he was supposed to be.

Jason scowled again, and activated his bandadio on an open channel so everyone would hear, " Avi, we need a sitrep."

Statically, Avi's voice came over the radio. " Am I glad to hear you. Kristian managed to seal the doors before they hit us with some sort of gas . None of us can use our abilities and we're getting low on ammo."

" hold on, calvary's coming. Where are you?"

" On the second floor. In one of the center offices." There was a pause. " You aren't gonna believe this, but there's a baby in here, a premie by the looks of the incubater it's in."

Jason shook his head. " You picked a nursery to hole up in? Pure genuis, Avi. " He deadpanned. " Hold tight bud."

" Haven't got a choice." Avi replied.

Jason looked up at Alice, blocking the sun's glare with his hand. " There, wasn't that easy? That's the kind of stuff you need to remember to do when your in charge." Gone was his attitude, like a weight was lifted off of him. " You might as well sit down. This may take a while."

[Mierin]

Alice looks worried and upset hearing what was going on inside. 'What the hell am I doing? I'm no leader!' Giving Jason a look that shows what she's thinking isn't something she could say in front of her mother, she sits down and stares at the building quietly and resolves to talk to Will once this is all over so he can appoint someone else to be leader in training. Maybe Avi, since he seems to know what he's doing. Anyone but her.

' ... ' *Sierra looks stunned and then nervous briefly*

'i'm picking up a lot of Meta's like us in there ... but i can't pick up Kristien or the others ... so .. uhh ... ' *she watches William take flight and gives a small shudder*

' .... a baby? .. Felicity was saying something about her baby ... could it be hers?' *as she hears the report being given*

'ewww ... i sense that creepy guy again .. the ghost man from the park .. most of the others are all on the second floor. what if that is Felicity's baby? can we make a slide for the others to slide down? .. and get them out of danger period?'

*she looks at the others and then to William for an answer of what to do and where

" It has to be a coincidence, doesn't it?" Dmitri said, sounding like he needed convincing, " Not even Wraith could be evil enough to steal a newborn, could he?"


Jason laid the rifle next to him and began puttering with his suit, sputtering," I'm glad I didn't listen to Dylin. Can you imagine what would have happened if I couldn't use my arms either?" He looked out at Alice, and his attutude did a complete reversal. concerned, he asked softly, "What's wrong? You could have gone with the others if you wanted, I would have been okay out here by myself, even though I apreciate the company."

William's already working through the building, looking for the gunfire. We have to move fast, or they'll use more gas on us. He thinks. One he gets to the shooters, William rushes them, hoping the others are behind him. If Wraith is here, better he's in the gas radius.

[Mierin]

Alice shakes her head at Jason and says "It's better if I'm out here. I can't make things any worse than they already are." Crossing her arms, she looks down at the ground "It's obvious I have no idea what I'm doing, as you just pointed out. So it's better if I'm here out of the way."

" Cut that out right now." Jason said. " No one ever wants to be a leader, because you have to learn how to do it. And you only learn by making mistakes." He dragged his legs acrossed the seat as he used his arms to hitch over before beckoning her to sit with him. " Ask Will if you don't beleive me. He's done this so long, it's second nature, and in time it'll be that way for you too."


Will came up behind a pair of men in suits armed with submachine guns that looked remarkably like the guards he'd seen at his meeting with Nilo Domichelli. the pair turned as he approached faster than they expected. Close behind, he could hear Trevor following him.

William runs in between them and the door, smiling. Turning off his powers, he says, "Nilo owes me for saving his daughter. I'm calling in the favour, and giving you a gift besides. You back off, and you can have the man who wanted to take her: Wraith. Deal?"

[Mierin]

Alice moves to sit beside Jason and says quietly, though the look on her face shows that she doesn't quite believe him. "I guess."

*unsure of what to do at the moment, Sierra follows after William. glad for all the years in the circus, she's learned how to move quieter than most people. if there are rafters on the second floor, she would take to them, moving along the beams and out of sight of most of the goons inside.

" Right there is the first thing you need to do. None of this doubting yourself, especially in front of the people your leading. Even when you don't know what to do next, ask for suggestions in a manner that conveys confidence. You don't have to know what to do next, just how to get your people to do it." Jason explained, placing a hand on his shoulder. He was about to say more when the rear of the car was hoisted in the air.


( Sorry, no rafters) William had streaked ahead of the others as the others followed, but they soon found their path blocked by an ogre of a man and a pair of men with SMG's. The pair opened up with a spray of bullets down the corridor. Dmitri managed to shield Kerry, taking a few of the hail of bullets as they swept acrossed him towards Isamu and Sierra ( 15 and 11 to strike, damage given next post if they hit, Sierra can now sense four metas in the building).


the two mob soldiers looked at each other, clearly unsure what to do. A third appeared not far down the corridor, smiling," No deal. You just don't get it, do you? Wraith is working with Mr. Domichelli. We needed a test subject that wouldn't be expecting the Cure's effects and Terri worked perfectly. now, it's time for you to die, Mr. Silverfire." The third opened fire with his SMG as the other two started to raise their own ( 4 to strike )

William grinned as the bullet went wide. "That's all I needed to know." He says, calmly

Within a heartbeat, William's combat knife had left his hand for the neck of his talkative assailant (15 to strike). At the same time, the temperature in the room jumped by about 100 degrees. As the fire licked from his eyes, he turns to face the guards, assuming a combat stance. "Next?" He asks, his body resuming its flame form. "I'm sure you want to see why I'm feared along the Rhine." His face turns very sinister, as the carpet under his feet licks with silver flames.

[Mierin]

A small smile appears on Alice's face and she starts to say something, but gasps when the back of the car is lifted into the air and looks to see who is doing the lifting.

' .. holy .. look at the size of th ....ack' *instintive;u ducking and getting hit by part of the spray. since this is the first time this has happened, she chooses to stagger back and then stands up and looks dismayed at the result of the uniform's more raggedy appearance

' oh for the love of ..... this is getting real .. ' *she stops and looks up with a sheepish grin and then tries with a half hearted* ' .. uhm .. ow? .. '

*her face seems to mirror those about her briefly before she backflips out of range of the ogre sized gent, while trying to clip him under the jaw with her shoe*
