*the concern and then the disappointment is readily evident as her toneless response of ' got it ... ' *then her mike goes quiet as she removes it from her person and sets it in her pocket. ever so faint whispering can be heard but since its faint due to the distance from her mouth, she knows she's safe from immediate reprisal from Shroud or Patriot. after a while her breathing is back on line with her simple report of 'all clear .. still nothing showing up'
*meanwhile in the back of her head comes her own words that she WONT dare mention ...o0( just shoot the *nasty word* in the *word repeated* kneecap and get it over with. you're with the government, they aren't yet .. so whats the worry? .. they're counting on you guys to be 'goodie two-shoe' types. they make a move on you i'll separate him from his leg without a qualm. Magician still ain't moving ... )

Grimacing from the blow, Khris looked at Patriot. He considered lashing out at the rifleman, but maintained to compose himself. " If you've got these jokers, I'll go check on magic boy." Gritting his teeth against what he knew was a deep bruise forming, he waited for Patriot's answer.

Patriot
Drawing his other .45, he aimed it at the downed rifleman. "I've got 'em." Looking between the two, Patriot made his intentions known to them both. "You've heard of me. You know I'd rather not pull these triggers, but you know that I will if I have to. You could have just followed orders and identified yourselves, but you had to be all cock-strong. Well, that don't cut it. One thing the public doesn't know about my function as a federal agent is the fact that I've been given full immunity to civil prosecution. Meaning that I can't go to jail if my actions fall under any legal questionability. It gives me an easier route to take to accomplish my mission. That also means that I'm not worried if I have to kill one or both of you. Besides, you two are ripe for being charged with crimes. Impersonating lawmen for one, and if you aren't, failing to identify yourselves in the performance of your duties is a pretty tough rap. Then you went and attacked a member of my team with your fancy little net gun there. That's another charge. A federal one at that. You boys might be looking at the unemployment line when all's said and done. If not jail time. Still though, you'll be alive instead of dead. So, I say again, stand down." He pulls the hammers back on his pistols. "Before I have to make things really messy."

Khris's weapons vanish and his sandals reappeared in his hand. His slipped them on and walked quickly towards Magician, hiding the pain in his leg. When he reached his teammate, he knelt down next him. " You still with us, magic boy? You're supposed to be inside helping the bosskitty., not out here lying down on the job."

* Jeckle stops looking thru the scope and grabs her mini binoculars and checks out the area about the club itself. her gaze never settling for long in one place as she searches the shadows for danger coming towards her teammates way. upon seeing any kind of possible danger will notify them and then lets the binnox drop and takes up the rifle and covers the teammate with the rifle

Jeckle scanned the immediate vicinity, but no threat was present. A few people came out of the club to see what was going on, but they stayed clear of the scene. Another Tribe, this one dressed in a white button-up shirt, came out of the club and was speaking with the bouncer-Tribe.
The two remaining thugs looked around wildly, but finding no escape route dropped their weapons and put their hands up and their heads down. They knew they had lost.
Magician groaned and struggled slightly in the wire-mesh net that enveloped him. A few moments past before he was able to reply.
"Sorry, boss-man," he croaked. "I'd say I was wrapped up in something, but that would be totally cliche. Could you hand me my penlight please?"
After Shroud places the small flashlight in his hand, Magician turned it on, aiming it downwards on the mesh net. Once he was satisfied with the beam's direction, Magician converted the harmless light to a laser beam and cut the net enough to allow him to escape.
The Tribe in the white shirt walked up to Magician and Shroud, surveying the scene before speaking.
"Patriot, huh," he says. "So the rumors are true. I find it unlikely that you were just passing by. Besides, no one in this city cares what happens to a mutant." Pausing for a moment, a look of realization crosses his face. "I think I understand now. Please, come inside and join your teammate. My people will take care of these vermin."

Patriot
Giving the gunmen a slight nod and a half-smile, he ordered one of them to restrain the other before he holstered one of his .45s and restrained the other. Shoving them into the van, he holstered his sidearm and then walked over, picked up the one that was tasered and threw him into the van with his buddies. Turning, he then picked up his shield and walked over to join Shroud and Magician. Seeing Magician getting to his feet, he keyed his mic. "Situation secure. Magic-boy is back on his feet." Surveying the area, he saw the crowd. If Tiger didn't want attention on them, they may have just blown it. Walking up, he caught the tail end of Tribe's statement.
"That's where you're wrong." Patriot slung his shield over his shoulder. "There are people that care. There are just to few who do anything about it." Hearing his invite inside, he paused. "Hold on a minute." Keying his mic again, "We've just been invited inside to join the conversation. Jeckle, secure from overwatch and come on down." Once Jeckle joined them, he turned to Tribe from inside. "Lead the way."

* Jeckle watches the scene unfold, then finally hears the invite from Patriot and responds .. ' copy .. heading down. be there shortly'
*then grabbing the scanner that was watching her back and then disarming the rifle, she gets out of her perch and crosses over. glasses covering the eyes, but the scars showing clearly and the rifle barrel is seen slipping out of sight inside the lining of the coat.
*smiles briefly at the Tribe thats standing there, and then opens the coat to show that the rifle is in pieces and utterly harmless. ' ... name's Jeckle. pleased to meet you' *then extends her hand without a qualm.

" Donna ever call me boss man." Khris quickly corrected Magician. " You're just lucky thaht was only a taser of some sort. Otherwise he'd be hosing your remains off the side of a building. Leave the heroics to the experts, or if me and Tigger are busy, then let lapdog try not to screw things up." He smirked slyly as he tried to hide the limp caused by the tenderness of the rifle blow.

Patriot
Hearing Jeckle, he looked at her with a half smile knowing how much tech-junkies loved to play with new toys. "Knock yourself out, kid."

;D
*the grin that crosses Jeckle's usual blank face says it all. she then retreats to the van, and helps herself to some of the 'toys' the guys were carrying. they, like her own weapons and toys, vanish into the various pockets and lead lining of the trench-coat. she then scoots along to rejoin the others near the door, her face once more the expressionless mask it usually is, but can be seen offering Magician a stick of gum.
*she stares at the Tribe by the door, from behind her glasses as they approach, then shrug and shows the lining of the coat once again with the simple 'i'm with them .. '

Magician stared at Shroud for a moment.
"Just because I'm new, doesn't make me any less capable. I had expected a laser blast, not an electrical net. It caught me off guard or I would have diffused the energy. Besides, I consider it part of the job to sacrifice myself for an innocent. Regardless of what you say, I would do the same thing in an instant. I'm willing to sacrifice myself to save a life," Magician said sharply. "I understand you, Tiger and Patriot have a history and that Jeckle and me are new, but that is no reason to downplay our skills or abilities."
Dusting himself off, Magician began heading towards the club, stumbling slightly as he fought off the effects of the stun-net, but refusing any aid.
The team follows the white-shirt Tribe into the club, with Jeckle falling behind as she gathered up some nifty items from the van. A few mutants from inside the club followed the bouncer Tribe out of the club and headed towards the van.
Inside club, things progressed as usual, though many patrons pointed fingers and commented quietly about the incident outside. The manager-Tribe lead the team up the stairs to the office where Tiger sat patiently. As the team passed, Dante slid into line behind them. A confirmed "he's with us" allowed him access to the stairs.
Taking his seat behind his desk, Tribe looked intently at each of the team. His gazed lingered for a moment on Magician before he picked up the phone and had bottled water brought to the office, enough for everyone.
"I appreciate what you did outside. Catherine is one of our regulars and a good person. She didn't deserve what they did to her and she doesn't need to be taken back to the labs for more tests. But, I must know. Why are you here?" Tribe stared mainly at Tiger at this point waiting for the answer.
[OOC: Jeckle can take any of the following items from van and off the kidnappers:
(1) Stun Net Rifle - same stats as the explosive net gun (Aliens Unlimited, pg 170, plus the stun stats of a stun pistol
(6) Nets for Stun Net Rifle, each weighs 2 pounds
(2) Power Dampeners - Gramercy Island, pg 39
(4) Multi-optic visors (IR/UV, 6x magnification)
(1) Backpack to carry items
(2) Complete standard first aid kids, plus syringes and sedatives (8 vials / 16 doses)
(3) Standard 9mm automatic pistols
(3) Tasers
They don't have anything too high tech. Because of this, it's probable that this wasn't a corporate recovery team, but rather independent mutant hunters. That would explain why they are so sloppy, as well. If you require stats for the above items, please let me know.]
