Mailsi knew the instant the plan went down the tube. It wasn't when Rita hit the roof, chucked the helicopter and couldn't find Kieran. It wasn't when Mars hit the doors and they exploded.  It wasn't even when Julian pulled his Lex Luthor impression and warded them off. Though Mailsi had hoped they would make it there soon enough that they weren't that prepared. It wasn't when Federick changed his fog into a blizzard. No, it had been when S'tann turned into a dragon. 

Sure, it would get them there faster. They had all clung on like burrs. But as they flew she considered the group they were against. And the people who composed their own group. Their plan was hit them hard and fast. They had quite a few individuals on their team that were perfect for the plan. But when it started falling apart they'd need flexible thinking. And they'd need it fast. 

As they entered the blizzard and Julian announced his intention to blow the front entrance, Mailsi mentally groaned, but had been prepared for the first in the series of [i]things that are going to go wrong.[/i] Mars hadn't even hesitated and ended up in the middle of the explosion, not that he could have known the front was rigged to explode. As she dropped from S'tann she considered radioing Mars to see if he was okay, but instead concentrated on her travelling ability. She had no desire to hit the ground full force.

By the time Mailsi made it to the roof Rita was gone inside the fortress. Mailsi took a moment to catch her breath. The cold no longer affected her that badly since she turned into her Silver Banshee form. Magic was wonderful sometimes. Mailsi chuckled as she laid a supporting hand on the nearest wall. Too bad chucking the helicopter into the snow didn't count as a goal. Mailsi took the moment to speak over the comms. Julian probably already had them compromised, but she didn't care if Kieran knew she was coming.

[color=C0C0C0]Hey S'tann. Kieran's on the move. You got his location?[/color] Unlike Rita, Mailsi had no inclination to wonder about and hope to come across someone. Not in a place that looked like her Uncle's castle. If she closed her eyes she could almost imagine she was there. Could feel the evil of the place through the soles of her shoes. Or that just might be the cold.

Kyle blinked as Julian agreed with him. Agreed that it was better if Kyle ruined the systems. Kyle didn't even care that Julian basically saw it as a science experiment. He couldn't help but mentally preen a little bit. Even after his friend got distracted by Aiden. Kyle was still too busy to pay attention to Aiden. Though when Julian's voice boomed over the speaker system he snapped back to the situation at hand. Just in time to return the impish look Julian was giving him.

Kyle and Julian set off. He even paid attention to the impromptu lecture about the Suicide Squad. He was suitably impressed with Julian's techno-wizardry. Of course, even using a cell phone was beyond his comprehension. Part of that was his own fault. He never cared to learn, more out of a childish petulance. Still, it was nice to learn they wouldn't have to live through a simulation of their heads exploding. He shivered at the thought and tried to cover it up by using the cold as an excuse.

Then they were at a door. Kyle pulled off his gloves and pressed his bare hands to the lock. He then pulled the door open with ease. He tried to step through but was stopped by Julian.

[b]"Checking for traps.”[/b]

Kyle blinked then stepped back. [color=004b80]"Good idea.[/color]" Though there didn't appear to be any since Julian just swanned into the room like he owned it. He ran a bare hand over a computer Julian wasn't using. He heard the older teen say the place was protected from Kyle. Kyle watched Julian hack until he got bored, then he went back to poking at the computers that still worked under his touch. Apparently today was a day for marvels. For a long moment he had forgotten about the earlier incidents with Blondie and with Julian.

Kyle sighed as another computer rebuffed him from doing anything but poking at buttons and getting an access denied screen. He turned back to Julian. "[color=004b80]I'm feeling kind of useless here. Sure there isn't anything I can do? Maybe if we get to the inside of the stuff and pull wires?[/color]" He had only a vague idea what he was talking about. But standing around was getting so boring.
