Sylwia for the most part does not get up from checking on the body below but accepts his hug especially with the mess she is in. "I not believe he dead....he look so fragile now." She says even as she tries to grant him powers for a moment or two to see if he revives. "Not my power work either." She finishes off even as she stands up and turns to hug Gabe crying on his shoulder as best she can considering her power state.

"Yeah, it's with the car. Where do you want me to wait - I kind of stick out like this. Unless you want to pass me off as a really large hood ornament." Tom strikes a sweeping pose.

"Then get going. All of you." Jason said, a bit agitated that no one seemed to be listening. "Look, guys and gals, I'm glad Sylwia is okay, but unless you all want to spend the rest of the night answering questions for the police, you need to get moving. Long knows I'm right and got moving, the rest of you need to too." He sounded cold, but clearly knew what he was talking about. A car pulled up with a single red light on the roof, and Jason swore before using his speed to dart over and intercept the police detectives.
"It's okay Sylwia. You probably saved the rest of us with what you and Tom did." Gabe said, consoling Syl in his arms.
From the roof tops, Long quickly located the damaged car quickly, and found Kristian and Trevor outside and mobile but still injured and talking to a uniform cop.

Calvin nods at the order from Jason. He floats over to Alice and effortlessly scoops her up. "Allez-oop."
Together, they fly back the way they came, back to the vehicle they left behind.
"Do all your missions end like this?"

Tom heads out, looking for his chair and a ride home. "Man, this has been a weird day."

Alice nods at Jason and is a bit surprised by Calvin when he picks her up. Waving at Jason before he runs off, she says to the others, "Let's meet back at base." Alice can't help but close her eyes when they fly back to the car. She still wasn't used to flying like that and it was a little disconcerting.
Getting into the car, Alice shakes her head and looks tired. "No. They don't. We usually don't have casualties like that." Alice is clearly reflecting on what just happened and realizes that while she isn't happy about what happened, she isn't devastated either. Rags being gone would ensure that the city was a bit safer and so was the team. "How are you holding up?" she asks Calvin quietly.

Sylwia now that her forcefield has some energy left raises it and still a bit saddened though, "I not really want to leave him as she should be not alone but he is dead now and we must listen." She says getting up, "Gabe me meet you back at house as body can either fly slow or fast and not want to risk you but want be alone for a bit!" At which point she waits for him to respond but will take him if he insists.

As Alice asks him how he's holding up, Calvin pauses.
"It's... all still pretty raw. I hate that he had to die. I... hate that I couldn't save him. I hate that we almost lost my friend." He climbs into the passenger seat of the car, and lets out a long sigh.
"I know it's technically a 'W', but it feels like an 'L'. And..." he shakes his head, "I'm really tired. Like... REALLY tired. In a way I haven't been in ages. Like when I'm me, and not when I'm..." He gestures at himself. "This."
"I don't think I've been me in weeks." He looks at Alice. What must she be thinking? He chuckles. "By which I mean my natural form. With no powers."
He sighs again, then looks at her pointedly, concern evident in his eyes. "What about you, Betsy?" he teases, just a little, using the nickname he gave her earlier,"You holding up?"

Alice can't help but asks, "What does your natural form look like?" Alice hastens to add, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
A weak smile appears when he calls her Betsy, but it doesn't last as she replies, "I don't know. I've come up against Rags a few times. He's almost killed me and a few of our team members. He was an awful man and he needed to be stopped." Alice sighs "I don't know how I feel. I'm not sorry he's gone." Looking up at Calvin, she adds, "I'm glad your friend is all right." Alice thinks of something and asks, "Is she dating Gabe? Gabe seemed really torn up earlier."

When Long comes up to his teammates, "There you two are. We have been looking all over this disaster area for you guys. I am glad we found you so that we can get you the medical attention you need." Long brings out his SLJ badge to show the cop. "Lawman at your service. These two are with me." He holds up his hand to hold the cop's reply. "We will not be needing an ambulance we have our own medical team."
Long gets between the two and allows whoever needs it to lean on him as they make their way back to the vehicles.

Calvin smiles, when she asks him what he looks like. "Basically like this. Dashing, caramel-hued greek god." He chuckles. "Except, oh, about four feet tall and on crutches. I'm a little person. I have achondroplasia." After a moment, he adds "It can be a real pain in the ass to get around, and nothing is sized right for me, so you can imagine how much easier it's been since I got my powers. Lately I haven't bothered switching back."
After she asks about Gabe and Sylwia, Calvin shrugs. "He's in love with her, but... he hasn't told her, that I'm aware of. Maybe after today... " He thinks for a bit.
"Sylwia has moved around a lot... had a rough life, I imagine. I don't know if she's in a place where she'll be receptive.
