Man those guys up front are having all the fun thought Syn as she walked with Mr. King follwing behind the assautling forces. She looked at some of the dead guards and medical personnel as they passed the bodies heading deeper into the facility. She began to ponder what might happen when they reached their target. It was her job to be the one to grab the mutant, but what about her powers. Would she be able to counter the ability of the other mutant? Of course I can do it. If I can negate the side affects then I will be the only one who can safely go near her. Everyone else would have to stay a safe distance. What would be a safe distance though? Better be on my guard from this point on.

((hey! For the most part I'll be posting as Jack, if not, Lady J will do it.))
Jack could hear, faintly the commotion outside. She sat up in bed and looked out the clear wall to see if she could see what was going on. The nurses and doctors didn't seem to be worried.

Jack pressed herself against the wall and called to Penelope.

"yes, Jack?" she answered smiling through the glass.

"Is everything alright out there?"

"yes, Hun...why?"

The girl shook her head in confusion. "Nothing."

She returned to sit on the edge of her bed, staring at the floor before deciding to put her boots on her feet.

Overcast grinned, carnage, and not just carnage, but carnage in her favor, it was good when it was all working for her, she was thankful for a moment to not have people like this trying to kill her, they were ruthless, and it was obvious that nothing could be done against it, at least not by these puny humans.

She snapped out of it when Kaine called to her over the raucus, she went over and obediantly grabbed hold of him, she liked this whole shadow-travelling thing, and was more than eager to try it again. As they faded from sight she grinned wickedly, this day was so fun.

Sarrus heard Kaine's words and moved to the door after taking is sword out of the dead man's chest. He saw how Isabel had opened the door <A bit slow, but it works.> Bodies and blood were spilled along the floor of the hall as he walked. Seeing the type of 'sword' she was using he raised an eyebrow as he came up behind her, "I'll cover you'r back, just take the lead." As they continued to clear the way for the others a thought came to his head, "Oh, when we get out of here, remind me to show you how to use a sword." Though his tone was a humorous one, he was serious.

"I think that would be an excellent idea," said Dorian to the giant red monster. "who knows, she may come in handy..."

With all the chaos happening all around, Dorian assumed that the people behind this facility would have been alerted, and thus, the team needed to act fast.

OOC: I'm going to assume Thorn is with me at the moment... please join Thorn/Fade!

Eris pulled her Lexus to a stop about 300 feet from the battle and yanked the keys out of the ignition. It was time for work. She stepped out of her car and walked slowly toward the main mutant group. Her job was to distract, and distract she would. She would let Dorian know of her arrival, and then begin to do her thing.

She was hoping Thorn would get out of the vehicle and follow... but then again the girl usually had a mind of her own. She should atleast have some loyalty after the operation though...

Drawing out a small computer she tapped it once and two small hoverbikes appeared out of the back of the Lexus. One for her and one for Thorn. She jumped on her bike and rode it forward to the line where Mr. King stood. "Hello Dorian, we're beginning." Without another word she rode off to the left flank.

Reaching the edge, she was now closer to the far side of the facility than anybody else had been. This area was swarming with guards, and at the present moment they all seemed fixated on what was going on, on the front side. Time to change that. Eris turned back to Thorn and said, "We got work to do. We have to draw them away from the building. I count a rough approximation of about thirty-five here. That's more than twice the ammount on the other side. If we can draw these guys off, we've done the hardest job in the operation.

((UH OH))

The commotion was now obvious and outside the technicians, nurses and lab assistants couldn't help but show their panic. The floor on which Jack was got SEALED OFF to prevent anyone from entering.

Jack rushed to the glass window and watched the people pass by. Then she ran to the door of her room and banged on it. There was only one guard there.
"What do you want?" he asked irritatedly.

"Can you slip me some water through the food slot?" she asked.

He sighed but he wasn't allowed to deny her what she asked. He went to the cooler and filled a plastic cup. "Here." he said roughly shoving his hand through.

Jack grabbed his arm and gave one hard tug and slammed him into the iron door. He fell still and, using the slot she fished for his key and unlocked the door. She pushed his body out of the way as she opened it and looked both ways.

Without a thought, Jack ran, trying to make an escape.

As the car drove up, Thorn kept her gaze ahead, right at the dashboard. Eris opened up the door and exited the car, but Thorn remained. She lifted her hand and extracted thorns all over her hand. Only about one fourth of the thorns that covered her hand were titanium, but it was good. She got out of the car and shed them off before following Eris.

They approached Dorian and Eris spoke simple words before she turned to the trunk of her car and brought hover bikes out. Thorn looked at her bike with mild amusement. Finally, some kind of weapon that looked fun. She watched Eris ride off before she grabbed the bike with her right hand and straddled the interesting toy. Correctly guessing that it ran like a normal bike, she hit the gas and flew forward, speeding after Eris.

A smile, this was the most fun Thorn had ever had without alcohol or nicotine. If she had these toys to play with more often, she would get over her addiction and adapt a new one, taking joy rides on the hoverbikes.

She stopped when Eris stopped and Eris informed her of their task. Her smile turned to a smirk before Thorn's erotic lips opened and she spoke. "Time to play." With that, she pointed to a nearby truck and sent dozens of thorns shooting from her fingertips right to the gas tank of the truck. About one third of her thorns were titanium so they pierced the tank a few times before the gas began to drip from the bottom of the truck. She reached down to her lighter for her cigarettes and clicked the switch, sending the top of the small contraption aflame. By simply locking her fire, she threw it as close to the truck as she could and then sent more thorns hurdling towards the fire. The extra thorns shot the lighter right up to the gas tank and the truck instantly light up in an explosion. This distracted some of the guards, only the proper amount to see what was going on without leaving the front of the building unsafe.

"Idiots." She muttered...

Isabel quirked an eyebrow at Kaz's lighthearted comment about her skill with a sword. "Show me how to use a sword?" she repeated, lashing out at another guard, cutting through the tendons in his arms in order to prevent him from effectively using his firearm before slicing open his throat, the white of his spine shining briefly through the fount of crimson. She payed little mind to the guns as she doubted the bullets could pierce through the suits Mr. King had provided to them along with the bone armor she could create under her skin. "And here I thought I was doing so well." she said again, giving an amused grin.

There didn't seem to be an end to the number of humans that traveled down the hallways, responding to the alerts and moving to cut off the intruders. It was easy enough to cut them down, they just had to find the room the Target was located in so the abduction team could move in.

She was quickly growing bored with the guards, their sheer numbers the only real thing keeping her on her toes as she lashed at them with her two swords, occasionally protruding an extra bone here or there to ram into a body should it be a bit too awkward or difficult to swing her arm around.

However, someone did notice, and notice quite soon that Jack was gone from her cell and an alarm sounded.

meanwhile Jack was headed toward the back of the facility.

Kaine Held on to overcast as they floated through the shadow world heading towards the floor they were told would have Jack on. As they reached it they saw no guards except one which was pasted out in front of the room.

With that kaine heard the alarm that she had escaped coming out of the shadow realm bringing overcast with him trhey stood in the corridor. "She cant be far we will continue on foot unless i say other wise OK?" With that kaine cocked his M4 with A non lethal clip in the chamber and ran down the corridor.

He kicked open a set of double doors and kept going reaching a staircase. Kaine Pressed the button on his radio down and spoke frantically down it

"Dorian sir, she has escaped have any mutants got the power to sense her if they have tell them to do it now i need to know if she is heading up or down the stairs hurry"

Now things were getting interesting. Though the blood bath with the guards was fun for the assault group Syn had yet to do anything besides walk with Mr. King. That changed slightly when they heard an alram sound.

At first Syn thought it was the guards trying to call for help. That little thought was quickly erased when Kaine called over the radio. He stated that the mutant they were seeking had escaped. From the information provided to them by the captured labtech Syn figured that the stairs going up to the second floor must be the only way to and from that area. With Kaine saying that the girl had escaped Syn figured that should mean that the girl might be coming down the stairs toward where herself and the others were.

"Mr. King, I have a feeling she may be coming down those stairs. If that is true then you may want to call back the others. Unless you want them to go out of control." The young girl watched Mr. King for a moment before turning her head back towards the direction of the stairs.

Jack was making great headway down the halls with the horrible ringing of the alarm in her ears.

They were sealing of entrances and exits left and right and she struggled to keep up her pace going towards the stairs.

However she did find herself in from of them; an iron gate was slowly lowering itself.

She braced herself and sped up; she had to make it.

Ok, my little baddies...I want to get the plot moving, so time to encounter Jack and um, attempt to catch her in some way where your mutations don't go...HAYWIRE!! Sorry... *snickers* Maybe Mr. King should give out directions on who is to catch her? Or you could all rush her. I'm sure that would be funny. j/k

Jack dove forward just in time to slide her thin adolescent body under the iron fence. It hit the linoleum with a clang.


She ran down the stairs, ignorant of the party that awaited her.

((there's your cue baddies))
