"Uh...seriously dude? We're just investigating. How about we talk?" Tom responds, wanting to avoid a fight.

Sierra stiffens in shock and revulsion at spotting Wraith. she touches the radio and comments 'icky ghost man spotted at rumble. currently unseen, but the news dogs have gathered'. she watches his reaction in case he has one of their radios.
"Sio, just a warning, the one i call 'icky ghost man' is a meta like us. carry a flashlight and shine it at his feet if and when you ever get close to him. he's kidnapped one of ours and stole the baby and then tried to kill her. i blocked the blades and saved her life. he goes way back on a personal level with a few of the older guys. if i tell you to retreat, do it. cause i sure as hades don't plan on sticking about'

Siobhan nods to Sierra at that, focusing her gaze on the one she was refering to for a moment. "Gotcha." she murmurs, half-turning away from the scene to better face Sierra. "What can he do?"

Avi slipped passed Tom and Ryne with Trevor and Long in tow. "The trucks are just down the block, you can't miss them."
Avi replied, " Gotcha, don't waste too much time."
Trevor commented to Long," You know you're worse at making new friends than I am." Ahead, Long could see a pair of black SUVs parked with a guy with dreadlocks beckoning them to come that way. One problem, they were missing their tires.
Still inside, Tom felt the engine block soaring towards him before Ryne shouted a warning. Lodestone merely smiled with rotten teeth," Wuz wrong college boi? You scared of ol' Lodestone? You should be you know." Tom could feel the blocks path would miss him, unless he moved.
As the girls watched, Wraith joined the investigation, paying little or no attention to them, instead focusing on the underground escape route.
Still inside

Tom gestured, using his own magnetic powers to block the path of the engine block. "Yep. I'm scared alright. Scared of hurting you too bad. So how about you back down old man?"

'Him? . . he used to know the head boss. worked with a couple of them before. was an agent for the good guys, but decided that it wasn't worth the effort and went over the law and turned rogue or something. since then, he's been a bad guy and working on his own.
'his power has to do with shadows or something. most times you see him, he's already in the shadow and most hits wont touch cause he's not solid. think he's got a photographic memory or something too. he saw me once and recognized me later. but his choice of workmates are on the FBI's most wanted list or from the dregs of society. he took a shot at me when i used a flashlight on his foot. claimed it was an attack on an 'officer of the law'. seems he works for the Mayor as an 'anti-meta' task force. but who really knows. something hinky there . . . no love lost with the group and him. he just gives me the massive creeps. kinda like when i could feel maggots crawling on my skin.

"Some people just enjoy being ignorant."
After long sees the truck they were running towards, "Hey, are those vehicles supposed to have tires on them?

Lodestone rubbed his palms together," dis iz gonna be fun."
"Tom," Ryne suggested," this deliverance reject is spoiling for a scrap. Let's just back out of here nice and easy."
"Dat's it boyz, runaway." Lodestone goaded, " Y'all ain't no match for dis ole boy."
Avi hesitated," Oh right, you've never seen these. You're in for a treat. Kristian, we gotta go." He went for his band-adio," Si, Siobhan, we've got what we came for at the cars. Let's get outta here."
Panek looked at Long and Trevor," And then we avenge my sister, right?"
Trevor grinned," I'm game."

Sierra hears the message and responds with a simple 'you got it bossman'.
*she looks at Siobhan and moves down the street with a cheerful saunter, to not draw attention to herself then once a vehicle is between herself and the officers on stakeout, she will jog and pick up speed to rejoin the others.
*upon spotting the Brethren member, she comes to a stop and frowns. the hands curl once then relax, before she climbs into a vehicle where she can keep an eye on him. its clear that she 'knows' who he is and is unsure why he's with the group, but says nothing about her uneasiness about him

Siobhan nods briefly to the radio message, then moves to follow Sierra casually. Once back at the vehicles she settles in beside Sierra, then glances to her curiously before giving a little head-jerk towards the newcomer questioningly.

"Understood." Tom waits for everyone to get clear. "I'm sorry, I was taught to respect my elders, no matter how addled they get. Enjoy your motor-oil moonshine."

"An stay out!" The gate slammed shut as soon as Tom and Ryne were out of the scrapyard. Ryne shook his head, " I think you made a new friend."
Once everyone was assembled at the hover cars and everyone loaded in and ready to go, they lifted off the ground and began along, with Ryne establishing an intercom link between them. Trevor explained what had happened, with Long noticing some of the details left out while Trevor's concussion was at it's worst. It was then that Panek spoke up," Crap, I should have thought of it sooner. The Brethren have a dopehouse in the north end that I heard stories of Deth taking people there to let them rot for a while before they disappear. Maybe Raig is there?"

To all the people he is just meeting for the first time, "Hello everyone. My name is Long Fu. I was a police officer until a couple days ago."
After Panek says what he remembers, "Are we all ready to go on another mission right away?"

*looks at Siobhan then studies the Brethren member Panek. 'he's one of the Brethren. i mentioned them before. the ex-cop there is one i've never seen before, and the last one that's hurt? . . that's one of ours that kinda retired . . . not sure if he's one of ours or not.
*turns her attention to Long Fu now. Si, just call me Si. no point in talking more. not sure what the ganger knows me as or about me. not sure i wanna do that just now. had snoops scouting the house, and that safehouse? . . swarming. and Arnold showed up there. cops believed i was some star struck fangirl.
