[color=gray]Kana woke up just a short thirty minutes after she had passed out. The pain from her legs had lifted her from her dream. She looked around the darkness, able to only make out silhouettes. Kana sparked a small fire in her hand for light, seeing Epsilon still asleep. What a rare opportunity! She had access to one of the most secure places in the facility. Kana got up on shaking legs and fumbled around quietly. Her feet were bare and the majority of her clothing was burnt away so her movements didn't make a whole lot of noise.

When Kana stepped up to the consoles and computers, she saw one of the screens was dimly lit and cycling through cameras. She raised a brow and started to manually cycle through them. When the screen came to a camera overlooking to the parkade, she saw her [url=http://www.zercustoms.com/news/images/Mitsubishi/Vilner-Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evo-X-1.jpg]car[/url]. Kana caught her breath before she gasped so not to wake up Epsilon. Her car was exactly the way she left it and knowing that brought out a deep calm. Kana had survived in that car for years, it was her shelter, her income, and it was a part of her. She wanted to sit in it. She wanted to lower the driver seat and fall asleep in it like she had done so many times before. That car was more home than any cot bed or barracks ever would be.

Kana looked over her shoulder at the sleeping man. She wondered what he would do if she left for the night and just drove to only god knows where. Kana took in a deep breath and run her hand over the car on the screen. She then turned and looked around more of the room. She came up on a shelving unit. Books and maps and documents were scattered all over it, there was a thin film a dust covering it all. Kana took one of the papers and held her firelight close to it. Logistics, food, ammunition, supplies. She saw on the paper that this Alpha organization was far more than just some underground meta-human extremist group. The large number in US dollars at the end of the list of items was evidence enough. She set the paper back down and took another one.

The next paper was a list of all of the Alpha's and their current assignments. She saw Zeta and Gamma operating in other parts of North America. There was Rho, the woman she idolized when she first joined the Order, currently tracking Omega movement in the northwest. She went through the list and noticed that Alpha was nowhere on it, even his location and work was unknown to his most trusted comrades. Her eyes went back to Rho and she started to think back to the day she was recruited.

[hr]

Kana was street racing some high school rich boy who's parents had bought him a viper. She was winning, wasn't winning because of her car, she was winning because the guy had no clue how to handle such a vehicle. They were sprint racing down a side road that the police never bothered to patrol. As she turned the final corner and saw the finish line, she saw a group of hooded figures lined up along it. The viper turned the corner not long after and one of the hooded figures fired a beam of energy straight through the driver. The expensive car slid on the gravel road and crashed into a cluster of trees. Kana span her car and bailed out, watching as it slid into a ditch and didn't take any real damage. Another beam of energy coursed right by her, whoever these psychos were, they weren't kidding around.

Kana worked up a fireball and threw it at the one firing off the beams, another figure stepped forward and lifted the earth to form a barricade. The metahuman that controlled the earth had chains dangling all around, it made him look like some sort of punk grim reaper. Another beam grazed by her, vaporizing the hood of off her turquoise hoodie. She threw another fireball as she dived for cover in the ditch opposite to the one her car was in. She was knee deep in water but at least that metahuman with the beams couldn't hit her without getting closer. Then she felt something wrapping around her legs. The long drenched grass beneath the water was grabbing a hold of her and not letting go. She started to panic, who were these people? Why are they doing this? What do they want?

That's when Kana heard one of the figures yell out, [color=white][i]"Shit! It's Rho! Everybody run!"[/i][/color]

Kana peaked her head over the ditch and saw a woman in full black combats controlling and twisting metal like it was paper. She ripped the door off of the wrecked viper with her mind and changed its texture. It became highly reflective and as the beam of red energy coursed down the gravel road toward her, it simply deflected off of the beam and scythed a tree in two. A set of throwing knives floated out from a harness on their own and punched straight through the metahuman who was firing the beams. He fell to the ground. The woman looked toward Kana, [color=olivedrab][b]"Keep your head down."[/b][/color]

The meta who was able to control earth launched a boulder half the size of Kana's car at Rho. She dodged it expertly and took control of the metal chains that were dangling from the man. One chain wrapped around his throat, another bound his arms together and the third took him by the ankle and lifted him upside down. Kana felt the grass weaken and left go of her, she scrambled out of the ditch despite Rho's demand. The meta who was controlling the grass in the water presented a pistol and shot at Rho. The bullet stopped in front of the woman in black and turned around. She shook her head, her emerald green eyes locked on the shooter. [color=olivedrab][b]"Using a gun against somebody who can control metal. You must be the special one in the group."[/b][/color] the bullet turned on point and resumed its speed.

It hit the man in the leg, he keeled over and screamed out in pain. Rho looked toward Kana and grinned at her, it was the very same grin that Kana: snarky, cynical, playful, proud. She looked over toward Kana's car and willed it out of the ditch, the door opened. Rho handed Kana a slip of paper, [color=olivedrab][b]"Go there. You'll find Delta and Epsilon. I wont be far behind."[/b][/color]

She looked back toward the omega and pointed turned his own gun against him. The trigger pulled and even though Kana didn't watch the man die, she knew that he was. Kana looked over to the man hanging midair from the chains, Rho did too. She walked over to him and ran a finger along his jawline, [color=olivedrab][b]"Shame on you for attacking this poor girl."[/b][/color] the chains tightened, the man groaned, [color=olivedrab][b]"She doesn't deserve to be caught up in this mess. But... It's unavoidable now."[/b][/color]

The chain tightened again and Rho could hear the man's ankle snap from the pressure. The metahuman screamed out in pain. Rho started tightening the chains around his wrists, [color=olivedrab][b]"Who else is Omega targeting? Speak now and you will still have your hands afterward."[/b][/color]

[color=white][i]"Go to hell."[/i][/color] the omega spat at her.

[color=olivedrab][b]"Good answer."[/b][/color] the chains tightened and the man's wrists suffered the same fate as his ankle.

His screams were blocked out by the sound of Kana's car revving and flying off down the road. Kana was breathing heavily, she kept switching her eyes from the road tot he piece of paper and back to the road. [color=white][b]"Go there. Go there. Go there."[/b][/color] she kept repeating to herself.

[hr]

Kana's eyes shifted back to Epsilon as he slept. He shifted but didn't wake. She shook her head and set the paper back down on the shelf, reaching for the third. It was intel, detailed movements and activity reports on omega. Delta and Epsilon were keeping a close eye on omega's less conspicuous members it would seem. There seemed to be a gathering of them, it didn't take a lot to tell Kana that something big was going down. [color=white][b]"Northwest..."[/b][/color] she mumbled quietly to herself. She took the paper with the list of current Alpha operations and saw that Rho was also headed there.

Her eyes went back to the camera screen and to her car. She held the firelight over the control panel and searched for the buttons to open the parkade. It was a good thing that Epsilon decided to shack up in the control room. She found what she was looking for and hit the switch; her eyes kept bouncing between the control panel and the unconscious Epsilon.

She wanted to help Rho, no matter how skilled the woman might be, heading their alone was going to be dangerous. She wanted to figure out what the omegas were doing up there. Maybe if she worked together with Rho, she would help put an end to whatever she was supposed to be fighting for. Kana would deal with the consequences from Delta and Epsilon after, if there was going to even be an after... Kana hit another switch, it disabled the electronic lock on the door that lead to the parkade. She heard a click to her right, she didn't even realize she was in the room right next to the parkade. [color=white][b]"Hm. Guess he thought he'd play guard dog."[/b][/color] she chuckled to herself and looked back to Epsilon.

Kana took the intel with her as she headed out into the parkade. She was sure to be quiet, Kana knew that she had to make as much distance as possible before they realized she was gone. Kana closed the door carefully and made not to make any noise as she did. Once the door was closed, Kana hurried toward her car and reached under the driver side fender. Tucked neatly away and nearly invisible, was a spare key that Kana had placed. She pulled the tap off, it matched the color of the fender, and took the key. She unlocked her car door and got inside, taking a moment to relax in the leather bucket seat. She sighed in relief and then closed the door, putting the key in the ignition just after.

The car roared to life, she hoped that the sound of the engine starting didn't wake Epsilon. With no time to find out, Kana quickly backed out from the parking space and sped away toward the exit of the parkade. The sunlight was hard on Kana's eyes, she had been stuck in that facility for three months. Kana had to let go of the gas and slow down a bit give her eyes time too adjust. When they did, she picked up her speed and headed out to go and find Rho.[/color]
