Miranda returns Jeckle's nod and turns to Tiger. "Understood." A slight accent can be heard, but could probably be confused as British since she only uttered one word. She then heads over to the car and gets in, waiting for the others.

Khris had followed the Caddy just close enough to keep sight of it, veering off when he saw it parking. He'd pinpointed his rooftop choice quickly and parking in an alley nearby. He let himself in the backdoor and started up the stairs to the roof, his senses and sensors reaching out for anything out of the ordinary. In case of surveillance, he paused at the rooftop door long enough to 'shroud' himself and blended in with his surroundings before stepping out. He took a long look around for any signs of trouble. cautiously, he inched over to the edge and made himself comfortable the only way he knew how, and began to open the rifle case.
Without looking, he exchanged the cased Dragunov for his own and began breaking it down and putting it back together again. He knew the car was only hundred and fifty yards to his right, which put him closer than he liked. He turned off his phone and took out his mp3 player, jamming the earphones in place before turning it on in mid song. He immediately began to hum along to the Animals' House of the Rising Sun as he began to sweep the scope side to side.

*from her perch and looking through the Thermal binox, Jeckle thinks to herself ...o0( i really should reprogram this to search out 'bodies' only. the standard body temp. with a 5 degree variance. pick up those that are feverish and those trying to hide in .. a pool of water. wonder if i could work in .. oh what is it? .. key it for the magnetic aura people have? .. the .. hello who's that now? .. )
*she pauses in her scanning to examine a part of the alley. ...o( hmm. two people .. oh ... NOT what i wanted to see .. ) *she looks away and searches other parts of the alleys about her before settling down to tinker once again with the mess of wires and such.

Tiger waits patiently for the Shroud, Cerebrum and Jeckle to get into position. While she waits, she loads one of her Ruger revolvers and her custom revolver with tracer rounds, keeping only one of her revolvers loaded with her own armor piercing high-explosive rounds. She slings her Robinson double-dealer across her back.
Once the fifteen minutes have passed, her and Patriot start to make their way to the station.
In their hiding places, Cerebrum, Shroud and Jeckle can all detect a few people around them. Some of the people may even be mutants, but in this section of town - filled with run down businesses and crappy apartment complexes, there are bound to be more than the usual number of mutants.
Tiger goes first. She doesn't hurry, and although she isn't really trying to be stealthy, she doesn't just walk down the street. She sticks to the shadows. Patriot is even less visible, although he too makes sure that a deligent observer could see them with the aid of nightvision. Kris, Dante and Jeckle can all plainly see the two of them make their way carefully to the building.
Patriot staggers as a .50 calibre round glances off of his disc shield and ricochets scrapnel into his armor. At precisely the same moment, Tiger is blasted in the back of the helmet by a pulsing burst of laser fire.
Tiger rolls forward even as a rifle round impacts the ground next to her, barely missing. Tiger draws and fires, two tracer rounds cutting a subdued streak through the night sky towards the third sniper. The one with the rifle, the one who missed. The tracer rounds are limited, designed not to interfere with nightvision optics.
Other than Tiger, only Shroud could clearly mark the trajectory of the shooter, but everyone can understand well enough
He is way out of revolver range, more than 600 meters away from Tiger and Patriot, but Tiger's tracer rounds not only give the other two shooters pause, and they spook the sniper she indicated. Shroud sees a blur as the shooter moves. The man was invisible and well hidden, but his invisibility lifts as he moves. He is much lower than Shroud, less than 500 meters away from him. The sniper Tiger indicated is closest to Dante, although Shroud has the best angle at the moment.

Khris didn't wait long when the other shooter exposed himself. With the headphones still playing classic rock softly in his ears, he chambered one of the rounds Jeckle had just given him. He raised the scoped and zeroed in on the sniper. He calmly caressed the safety off and his his rifle's distinctive bark rang out.

*Jeckle's head snaps up and looks about as the first of the shots sound off. then as they are answered by a set of hand guns, Jeckle makes a note of what was just spent.
*it is the final shot off to the left that tells her she's on the wrong side ot be of any real help, so she chooses to scan the area and provide cover for Shroud. she's sure that he doesn't need it, but as the thermals pick up body signs here and there closing in, she preps a flash pellet instead. waiting for hte largest group of hte ones closing in, she tosses it up and over her hiding spot.
*the sudden flash of bright light off to the far left of everyone else, followed by the loud yelp and curse, Jeckle makes good and moves over the roof to find another spot. a grin forming as she knows what its like to loose the sight of night-vision suddenly. she settles into a new spot and realizes something important. she should make 'polarized lenses' for the others so that the sudden 'flash' pellets don't blind them.
...o0( nothing like giving myself extra work huh? .. well i see that the target IS neutralized. he got nailed good and hard, just hope that the new one can get the target. ahh .. the others are moving again. hope whoever got winged is alright ) *unaware of how badly Patriot and Tiger got winged, she just knows that weapons were fired and returned and then the argument was settled.

Shroud's rubber bullet hits the sniper easily, and the guy stumbles, but the rubber bullet bounces off. The sniper must be wearing some kind of protective armor.
Immediately after stumbling, the sniper vanishes from Shroud's scope. One moment he is trying to keep moving, and the next he has dropped from view. Shroud knows he can't have gone far, but he can't be seen. In fact, he vanishes from view of any and all of the team members who may be watching.
Meanwhile, Tiger backflips up the side of the station building planting her feet roughly thirty feet up the wall before launching herself forward. She jumps nearly seventy feet forward from her high perch, to the side of a neighboring buiding, and she runs along that building's wall with excellent speed. Her running is no faster than an olympic sprinter, and her acceleration is also perfectly human, yet her leaps are well beyond normal. When she gets to the end of the wall, she jumps to the roof of a building in front of her. Her revolver is holstered, and she has the big AK-47 like assault rifle with the gernade launcher in her hands now. Her cell phone is on and she uses her earpiece - "He dissappeared, but I think he is still there unless he teleported. He might be invisible or hiding. Close in and search the area."
Patriot swing lines after Tiger, following closely.
The other two snipers go completely silent, and make themselves even more well hidden than the target. Tiger and Patriot don't seem too concerned that the other two might resume firing. Now that the trap is sprung, the smarter, better snipers will surely lay low.

*muttered under her breath as she starts to move closer to the 'action' .. 'NOW is hte time to have the anti-thermal suit on .. no one would spot you then. oh maybe i should do an ultra violet? .. pick out the very cold? .. nah .. that would be silly ... '
*using the leg units to assist with her leaps, she covers the space of one alley and lands on an adjacent roof. squats in the shadows and then rolling she comes up in a crouch to scan with both the thermal vision assist binox and then the night-vision. once she's convinced its fairly safe, she moves once again and covers the roof carefully and then hops to the next one before repeating the above actions again for safety reasons.
*she has NO wish to find herself the victim/prisoner of the opposing force and so now she scans the area and activates her 'personal area toy' ... [roughly about a 30 foot area about her will trigger motion if any get in that range - or if she stumbles across one by mistake]

Reaching into his mind, Cerebrum calls upon his psychic nightvision to aid him as he looks for the sniper.(isp4 rang 600' duration 10 minutes) As he walks forward he knows that his sixth sense will warn him before anything life threatening happens to him(automatic, 2 Isp). Unfortunately the others in the group are to far away for it to be of use to them, so he hopes that they will take great care.

" Dammit" Khris cursed as the sniper faded away. He scanned the rooftop below, seaching for any sign of his target. " C'mon , you know you want to show yourself... move around so you can try to find me..." he said to himself quietly, all the while unmoving and blended in with his surroundings.

Miranda stays with the car, keeping an eye out for any sign of trouble, ready to pick up any team member in the car if they need help.

*Jeckle continues to play a game of cat and mouse. knowing that the others are better at this than she is. she only has her brothers input on how this work in the field, and as a result she only knows how 'her toys' work and how to get them better.
*pausing on the roof-line and scanning the area about her, she judges her next jump to be about a 20 feet across and about 15 feet higher. she takes the time to scan the roof line of the other building to ensure that she has no new surprises waiting for her. it is only the blurry outline of some heat source that gives her pause in her next jump. instead she chooses to take up a spot where she has a wall to her back and something fairly solid to hide behind.
*her personal proximity [30' radius] is now the only thing, besides her own wits to stay alive, that protect her from discovery. she knows that she has one route of escape that is ideal, and at least one other one that could be disastrous, as she hasn't taken the time to check it out visually. for now, she settles in for a long wait as she's unsure of where the others are now.

Tiger bounds right past the area where the sniper disappeared, leaping to a wall of a nearby building and then up to another building before doubling back to land on the roof of the building she just left. She scans the streets below for any sign of reinforcements from the Labyrinth, "Keep looking," she says to the entire team over her cell phone, "I'll cover."
Patriot does just that, joining Jeckle and Dante as they poke around for the hidden invisible guy with the rifle. After about thirty seconds, the guy tries to shoot Patriot, and Patriot dodges easily. Kris and Dante see the sniper become visible just in front of Patriot, where he was crouched in the shadow of an air conditioner.
The sniper is using a hunting rifle, a Ruger M77 Hawkeye, with a passive scope and he seems surprised at the ease with which Patriot avoids his shot. Patriot leaps right off the low roof and swinglines so he doesn't fall. The sniper tries to re-activate his invisiblity clothing and lunges wildly to avoid being shot by anyone else. It looks like he is trying to perform his disappearing trick again. Before he can do so, Dante and Kris have a clear angle. Jeckle hears the shoot, and she has a poor angle, though she could try a wild shot.

*while Jeckle can't get a shot off, she does 'ping' him with the thermal vision and hopes that it will be enough. 'man .. i really should try to do a parabolic mini dish to the glasses .. that would be better .. '
*she takes the time to try and line up a shot. the muzzle of the rifle following the heat imprint of the footprints he's leaving behind. 'oh jeez .. oh wait a minute, he's stopped. now if he's crouching his head would be about there .. or it would be his hips .. so maybe i could try to take an ankle? .. oh blast, i can barely see now. better move now .. '
*she breaks her cover and creeps along trying to get a better shot. a part of her is aware that her profile is now showing on the rooftop for any that look up. and then she passes near a vent and nearly looses the thermal image of the footprints of where he's currently standing. the shot is still horrible, but she may have a chance if the others miss.

[[ ooc - will wait and see if the others get him. jeckle would make him literally footless if she shoots. but it may be needed. and she's afraid of making the sniper a cripple. she knows what it feels like to be in the hospitals ]]

Dante spots the individual, and takes a second to gauge how far away he is, and if there is anything between them that he can use to propel himself towards the target. He needs to get closer to be of any use, as he carries no ranged weapons.

[ooc: before I can do anything I need to know how far away the target is, and if there is something Dante can flip off of like a flag pole to get close enough to be of use.]
