*watches blamkly as the two men leave .. and then slumps in the seat 'i left so fast i forgot my skates and hat. oh well, don't know if it will help or not, but i'll try to help. not that great with the people skills, i go by my gut reactions to people.
'ashley? .. i feel like i'm going bonkers here .. voices in the head .. well michael aside, that taunt me and tell me there isn't a place to run that they can't get to me. but i really have no idea why they want me at all. its blank .. i remember being a kid .. then it goes blank. like my head got taken apart and put back together missing the time. am i going cuckoo? ...
*then seems to wilt altogether and takes on the look of a lost child trying to figure things out 'why can't i remember? .. *voice cracking as the tears start .. 'i really want to remember, but i cant ..

Ashley smiled lightly. " Maybe you're lucky then if you don't remember. I have nightmares every night about the day I became Kodiak when these things, " she lifted her shirt just enough to reveal a pair of black things surry from the light up above the shirt tail, " infested me after I was attacked. They save my life, but sometimes I wish they hadn't." she left her shirt down. " We'll find out why Denial and his goons want you. But if it makes you feel any better, you must be bonkers, you came back here."
Michael grinned, but kept any comments to himself at a glance from Ashley,
"Look, they caught me off guard allright. You know how I feel about getting ambushed." Tyler shrugged. " Lenny says he can get us a meeting in a couple days, for all the good it'll do. Now I gotta get back in and check on Trevor." He rose and started for the door, pausing and reaching for the scanner and turning it on. Why does she always do that?" he sputtered as it came to life
" needs assistances 22nd and Grnville. Officers down. Two suspects, one male, one female. Confirm metas. Have fire and EMT respond also. Rec " Tyler turned it back off, sputtering. " God, I hope thats not Fel."

William listens quietly to the police scanner. "Well, I guess a distraction will be out of order. But, I'll go, try and find her. Mabe have Ashley bring the kids with her."
William takes a deep breath, and then stands to leave. "You worry about Trevor, I'll look into this police thing and plan the meet."
With that, William leaves the conference room, and relates the information from the scanner to Ashley. "We'll have to move, if we're going to help her. But it's your call." He says, at the end.

"I presume you have a lot of experience with sounding like you've sucked a lemon, Maria?" William says calmly, looking at her for a second, making a rather examining eye contact (and probably just a little intimidating). "And, Ashley's in charge. I'm just an advisor. I'm not going to be here forever, Maria." William says, and he turns back to Ashley, and asks in a low voice. "By the way, do you happen to have any firearms."

" No guns, Ty's rules." Ashley replied. " But we can go check to see whats going on if you think it's a good idea." She turned to Sparks and Michael. " Wanna go?"
Michael nodded as he responded to SParks. We're better off with them, at least they can hold off the Brethren long enough for us to get away if they find us

William lets out a small sigh of disappointment. "Well, it's for the best, really. I'll see you all there." And, with that, William heads up to the roof, flying low to avoid detection, to the sight of the fight that night. After a while, spotting the flashing lights, and helicopters, William touches down on a roof, and tries to assess where people are going, doing his bast to remain in the shadows.

[Sparks]
"Well, if they've got motorcycles... " Ashley grinned smugly before ushering the pair down to the garage. They got into her convertible and made their way acrossed town quietly, but expressions gave Sparks the impression that Ashley and Michael were deep in conversation most of the way. As they neared, they were flagged down by an officer manning a detour away from the crime scene that looked to be swarming with police.
She turned away for a couple of blocks and parked the car in front of a warehouse. turning off the car, Ashley looked at Sparks. " This is where you're smarts come in. You know the streets better than me, or probably any of the rest of us. So you know how we can sneak in for a peek without getting caught."
[Silverfire]
From his vantage point, Will could easily make out Atlas and 2 of his companions amongst the swarm of police and emergency workers. Obviously some police officers had been wounded, and a large section of one building had been knocked down or blown apart somehow. The whole scene had an unsettling feeling as he ducked out of the light of a passing newscopter that was quickly chased off by the air patrol helicopter.

*watches ashley's face before turning to look at Michael before nodding* .... 'fine .. you keep him safe then, the gang wants me, and will use anyone or anything to get to me'
*then moves to look the streets over and comments 'you really gonna have to learn the streets better .. know how to blade? .. i'll take you on a tour one day, maybe .. ' .... *then moves along the street before crossing and vanishing along a back alley. moving carefully, all senses alert and melding with shadows and other trash in the alley.
*moves along, and then spots the building in question, before retreating to a side window of a building and check with the toe of her shoe if its still open or not .. and if it is, slips inside to move and watch thru a peek hole that faces the building in question and then nods and then thinks .. -= oh great .. find a way to watch .. and now i can't get in touch with them now .. =-

William eyes the scene carefully, smirking to himself, that SCRET's replacement seems to currently consist of Atlas and his friends. This actually made it funnier, you know, that he didn't want to share his newfound powers. And, also, that the metas seem to be doing better now than before.
The hole in the wall looked too large for Felicia, though it could have been another mutant throwing her into the wall...

*knowing that this is as close as they can get without being seen, or so she hopes, turns about and then makes her way out of the basement first, and then back tothe other two at the car .. total elapsed time .. about 5 minutes.
*reappearing into view, takes a good look about before signalling the other two to come on .. then eases into an alley to wait, just out of sight from the road, but in a position to move either way.
*when the other two join her 'always have a second way out, follow and be quiet .. i know a spot thats just about across the street .. so come on.' *then turns and leads the way back to he bolt hole, and motions them in, then follows them in, sliding the box of garbage in the small opening and follows them and shows them the small window, the size of a cinder block that looks at the building itself, but from across the street*
-= i'm sure there's a way into that basement .. but i never found it, say the word and i'll go make one, but it will alert the ... oh wait .. the bootleggers tunnels .. go under that one .. you want me to find an opening to the tunnels? =-

Aheley looks through the window. "Do either of you know another way to get closer. I can't see William either."
William, however, has flown off. Whoever was in the fight, wasn't there anymore, it would seem. Atlas clearly has the knack for showing up after the fact. While building-hopping, and evading news and police helicopters, William catches wind of a restaurant, and his stomach begins to growl.

*looks at ashley andthen whispers 'you asked to get a closer look without getting spotted .. this was it .. but i'll go scout for the bootlegger's tunnels, met you in 10 outside the entrance'
*then vanishes like a living shadow into the darkness again .. and after checking to see if the exit was clear, slips out andthen makes her way along the alley to another building that has a crawl space between the building and the actual basement .. and after feeling about carefully with the hands, comes across the upper airshaft vent for the tunnels below
...o0( well, the grill's still here, and still not locked, too dark down there to tell if anything or anyone uses it .. think the grand old city fathers forgot all about these tunnels .. wait .. what was that? ) *turning the eyes towards the sound heard, not that far away
