*Jeckle looks up at Khris and the eyes flash angrily and then revert to normal as she realizes she's just lost the 'contest' again. her brother loved to torment her about things, and Shroud seems to be similar to her brother .. but much worse.
*she simply smiles and comments 'can't do anything without my coat just now. they even have the leg unit. not that its better than what they already have .. but it was my first attempt .. a bit blocky .. guess i could redo it. maybe Tiger can get more info about what schematics there are. but thats just me.

Miranda listens quietly as the others speak. She knew deep down that once they got to the airport, she wouldn't be going with them. She'd learned long ago that she needed to listen to her instincts and her instincts were screaming for her to get out of this situation the second she got a chance. 'I need a vacation' she thinks to herself.

*Jeckle sighs and then looks at Khris once again, the face overly calm as she simply states 'remind me again what toy's i'm gonna be making for you? ... i'll put them on my 'to do' list. i got about a dozen on the list for my bro, but they aren't here .. so, give me a clue and i'll whip something up and you feild it .. let me know how it worked. its what he did .... '
*the fact her hand makes a fist and then shakes it out, shows that her missing brother is still a tender subject, even if she refuses to acknowledge it.

The hover limo downstairs is already loaded with everything the team brought with them into the hanger. Tiger's belongings have been cleaned, everyone elses stuff untouched.
The driver is a werewolf is a business suit, and beside him is another werewolf in black armor with a submachinegun and some knives. A bulletproof barrier separates the front seat where the werewolves sit from the rest of the car.
Once they lift off, Tiger seems to visibly relax though she carefully watches the Labyrinth as they pass through it. She is looking out the window, but she starts to talk to Khris. "When we are on a mission I call you Shroud, because the protocol of code names has been ingrained into me."
"Still, I know that you are not Shroud. You are always Khris, even when you are concealed and hunting the enemy."
"My life is very similar only the names have a different meaning for me. When I grew old enough, I realized I didn't want to travel through time and work for my father. As a teenager, I was truest when I was using an alias. In the military I found that using a flase identity I could be who I wanted to be. When I failed or succeeded, it was mine, not his. I was free. When I left my father and joined Omega Shield I concealed my true identity from everyone."
"In some ways your past as Shroud and my past as his daughter are things we cannot change. Other people will always see us that way. We may even allow them to believe it. But it doesn't determine who we really are."

*Jeckle takes her coat and checks the pockets over to ensure that everything is there .. and that there isn't anything additional that shouldn't be there. if given the chance, she'll change back into her own clothes, as her mind ticks over the various things she could make to protect herself from another encounter with fire in that manner.
*that recent confrontation made her realize that it was a living thing and had a life of its own. it hungered as well. she just hopes that it wont hunger for her flesh anymore than it has.
*she remains silent and pensive as she stares out the window at nothing. even as the few tears slide down the face, she refuses to give up the dream of rejoining her brother. now she has to refocus on her 'work' and daydreaming of happier times wont help her.

Tiger turns to face Jeckle, "I know this might sound like an odd question, but Jeckle, did you kill anyone on this mission? I really don't remember, but I couldn't think of a reason Fakir wouldn't have tried to recruit you when he offered me, Charger, and Khris jobs as snipers."

Charger smirks, as he makes his way to his safe house, the polce sirens far behind him. Guess they don't have dignity afterall. He thinks. When he gets there, he turns on the TV and watches the news... or Looney Toons, whichever's on.

*Jeckle looks at Tiger and smirks 'kinda hard for anyone to believe i'm a shooter huh? guess thats the reason. i might know how to use my rifle, but personally, i really didn't 'kill' anyone on the mission. i gave tools to you others to do the job, but not outright killing. that's why.
'took me a while to figure that one out myself. that's why i was isolated. i probably don't have the right temperment for it, even if i did have my weapon. no worries. maybe he didn't ask cause he knew i had a better idea of angles and stuff? .. ' *she smirks and looks away again, and then finally removes the tear trail from her face

Khris listened, letting Tiger's monologue sink in. He looked at Jeckle and shrugged," Maybe it's better that way. Not pulling the trigger can be alot harder sometimes, and that's an important thing to learn." He reached in his pocket and pulled out his headphones and pushed them in his ears and turned on the mp3 player," maybe someday you may have to even teach me that." He made no attempt to answer Tiger, and closed his eyes and listened to the music.

*Jeckle just eyes him and then returns to staring out the window. the reflection is oddly more masculine than her face is, but then, she's learned this trick over the years. its her way of trying to see what he sees .. hear what he hears. for those watching, her eyes darken and she continues to stare at the pane of glass.
*she blinks and shakes the head finally and then looks aobut and then stares at the hands. she wipes at the corner of one eye and then looks up and about at the othes in the car. she gives a faint shrug and then looks out the window again, her reflection is her's this time .. but if any had noticed the different one, they would know what her twin looks like

Miranda remains quiet during the ride to the airport, not really having much to say. She isn't moved by Tiger's speak and represses the urge to smirk as she stares out the window.

When the hover car reaches the airport, everything from the hotel is discretely delivered to the curb.
Tiger gets a text message, upon looking at it, she states, "Charger isn't coming. He refused." She hides her emotion.
She picks up a packet, which contains reservations for a charter plane.

Once out of the car, Khris stepped aside so only Miranda could hear him," You've already decided to leave, haven't you? I can read it in your eyes, and I'm sure Tiger has too." He took a card from his pocket, on it a couple phone numbers. " You ever change your mind, or just need someeone to talk to. Anytime." He stepped over and picked up his bags, not waiting for an answer.
" Lead the way boss kitty, my retirement fund isn't getting any bigger sitting here."

Taking the card, Miranda is glad that Shroud had turned away as she can't hide the expression of surprise that has come over her face. A small smirk appears and she thinks 'Thank you' as she pockets the card. She then grabs her bags and says to Tiger quietly "This is where we part ways." She nods in farewell at everyone and heads in her own direction, intent on getting a cab and heading home so she can figure out what her next move is.

*Jeckle steps out of hte hover limo and looks at the others and simply states 'nice trudging thru the garbage with you. could we maybe pick a different spot next time? .. the first date really bit. maybe a beach for you and a workshop for me .. now that would be cool .. bye .. ' *gives a thumbs up as she picks her bags up and follows Khris to Tiger's side.
'think we can stop for some corn pops or other sugary goodness bad for you kind of kid's cereal? .. it helps me think when i build. you know .. think we can stop off at a sports store? they got CO2 canisters .. i'm sure that i can rig something to help blow out fires .. in case ... shut up jeckle ... ' *she shuts up and examines the tips of her gloves like nails and stops the babble that was coming out of her mouth. she just steps out of range of Khris and his long arms.
