[hr][h1][i][color=aqua]Jennifer Caspin[/color], [color=red]Meifeng Vuhong[/color], & [color=Gray]Quentin Taylor[/color].[/i][/h1][sub][@ToadRopes][@BurningDaisies][/sub][hr] Going with Jen's suggestion, Meifeng thought that they could slow down tall, and brooding here. She raised her hands in the air, and pointed her palms at the ground, and a jet of water came spraying out of her palm. It created a puddle of water, and she quickly knelt down, and the water turned into solid ice. The Nemesis walked on the ice, and nearly slipped. It quickly caught itself, and slammed his hand on the wall to maintain balance. What threw it over was an operating table flying at it at high speeds. Courtesy of Ratchet. The operating table hit the Nemesis in it's head, and knocked it backwards. It created a loud slam the second it hit the ground. Ice and concrete shattered underneath it's back. "Let's go!" Meifeng shouted, turning tail, and the rest of the girls followed her. Jen looked back, and saw the Nemesis slowly climb back up to it's feet - which prompted her to go a little faster. The group turned a corner, and Meifeng opened a door, and gestured for everyone to go inside - before entering the room herself, and closing the door behind her. "Thank God..." Jen sighed, as she panted. Not that she was particularly tired - her regeneration cycles out the lactic acid - just scared out of her god damn mind. She took a look around the room, and saw that they weren't quite in one of the labs, or operation rooms, that seemed to be so common in this place. No... on one side of the room, there were bars, and a metal door. Like this was a prison of some sort. On this side of the room, there were cabinets, and the such. Taking steps closer to the cell, Meifeng looked and saw that there was [i]someone[/i] in the cell. Some older dude, had to be like in his late twenties, African-American, and had a collar on. "Hey... are you okay in there?" She asked, taking steps closer to the door. She looked down, and saw that the door had a padlock on it. She put her hands on it, and looked at it, searching for any crease or crevice for her to put water in and freeze. She was going to get this thing off, and get this guy out of here. Setting Anna on one of the cabinets, Jennifer put her hands on Anna's shoulder to get her stable (and from falling face first). She turned her upper body around, and looked at the cell. "Be quiet, Meifeng." She warned her friend. "We don't know when that [i]thing[/i] will come back around." The cell's occupant stirred from his deep thought, glancing towards the door. It took a moment for him to realise he wasn't alone, prompting him to tense up in a defensive posture. Initially, he didn't answer the voice, instead analyzing the face staring at him through the gap above the cell-door. He glared at her contemptously for just a moment, before realising she was skulking around, unlike whoever'd seen him before. "Who're you?" He asked reticently. [i]"Alright, I'm Meifeng Vuhong[/i]," Meifeng started off, pulling water out of her pocket dimension, and covering the padlock in water. Forcing as much of the water inside of it as she could. "Back there is Ratchet, blondie is Jennifer, and she's holding up my other friend, Anna. We've been captured too, but we managed to break out. I think their collars were broken, or something, I don't know." Meifeng said as she did her work. Skeptical, the prisoner pushed both palms into his knees to stand, approaching the doorway cautiously. "These things?" He scratched at the metallic surface of the collar around his neck "If you can get it off, I'll take it as proof you're not fucking with me" he cynically added, approaching "Yeah, alright." Meifeng didn't know what this guy's problem was - his attitude was a bit unnecessary - but if it was to get his trust, then she'll gladly do it. She kept fiddling with the padlock for a bit, before closing her eyes, and focusing. The water inside the lock snapfroze, and expanded. Breaking the lock open. The lock dropped to the floor, and Meifeng slowly opened the door to his cell. She nodded and he approached. "Trust me." Meifeng said. She summoned some more water out of her pocket dimension, and forced it into crease where the collar opens. She froze that water, too, and the water froze solid. Popping the collar right off. She nodded her head. She felt very dry... thirsty. [i]God, the dehydration's kicking in.[/i] Meifeng thought to herself as she put a hand to her head, and took a step back. "I got it off... do you trust us, now? W-we're just trying to get out of here." Meifeng said. "Yeah, appreciated. You people, you're all.... powered, right? That's what all those fuckers are after, I think." Taking that collar off gave him the look of a man who'd just surfaced after almost drowning. "Far as I can tell, I'm the only one here with a power." Meifeng said, grabbing onto her arm. She looked around for a moment, hoping to find a source of water. "I don't know why they'd grab some unpowered people." [i]Should I...?[/i] Jennifer thought to herself for a moment. Since, she never told Meifeng that she had a power of her own, and probably doesn't know that Ratchet has an ability, either. Then again, maybe she should keep it to herself for now. Don't ask, don't tell. Another part of her wanted to mention what she was told a few hours ago. "Um, hold on a second." Meifeng eyeballed a sink. She quickly skipped over to it, and leaned forward over it, and turned the knob. She turned her head sideways, and started drinking water right out of the tap. The water tasted like it rust in it and the stranger suggested she avoid it, but she didn't care. She'd need to get rehydrated before the next monster comes out of no where to attack them. Which meant that Jennifer would be the one talking while Meifeng was getting a dink. She coughed, before saying, "We're trying to get out of here. We were trying to spring as many people as possible so we can get some help... but we ran into some big thing. He had a helmet, and a coat, looked evil as hell... Meifeng and Ratchet knocked him over before we ran in here." "That fucker?" He recognised their description of that... thing. "You'll need some firepower. What other powers have you people got?" Meifeng raised her head... she probably caught something from the water - but hey, she's at risk of being murdered, why worry about a little bacteria? She turned back towards Quentin, and leaned up against the cabinet she closed her eyes, and shrugged. "As you can see, I can control water. The docs at NEST told me that I have a little pocket dimension that I can store water in, and I can pull it out at any time. I also have ice powers, but they're not that spectacular." She shrugged again. Maybe it was time for Jen to say her power. "I'm... I'm a Regenerator." She said letting the words hang in the air. "Yoooo, you didn-" Meifeng tried to say, before she got cut off by Jen. "I know... I was just scared of the likes of the Pure, and NEST.... that's why I didn't tell you." She scratched the back of her neck nervously. "I haven't really tested it yet... but I can survive lethal wounds. I was... shot multiple times, and I healed it in a few minutes.... I know it won't help in a fight." Meifeng would have been a little upset that Jen was giving her so much flak about hiding her power, when she was hiding an ability of her own, but she couldn't find it in her to get mad over the petty things. At least not now. Meifeng sighed. She figured that she should tell about Anna... since she doubted if she could talk on her own. Poor thing. "My friend Anna over there is a little... out of it," And that was the understatement of the year. "She... might be a Metahuman. We talked about it, and she has something to do with other Metahumans. Like, she enhances them? I don't know." "They experiment on her as well? I don't recognise her." "I..." Meifeng said, unsure of what to say. She shot a worried look at Anna. "... don't know. She's been badly drugged. I hope she's... okay." "They dosed me with that stuff, wasn't as potent though," It didn't look like he wanted to memorise the experience, "Just... these bastards have a lot to answer for. Things they did to... yeah." "You're damn right." Meifeng said. She raised her fist valiantly to chin level. "And I promised I'll make every one of these bastards pay for what they did to Anna, and every other person here." "Ummm..." Jennifer asked, after Meifeng heroicness ceased. "You're a Metahuman, right?" She pointed at the collar that was left behind. "What is your power? They wouldn't have put a collar on you otherwise." "I can pick up other... MetaHumans' powers and use them myself... or give them to others." "So... you can..." Jennifer thought to herself outloud. "... Take people's powers away, and give them to other people? That's..."[i]Useful. Maybe I can get my powers removed so I can live a normal life. Without any of this nonsense.[/i] Jennifer thought to herself after cutting her sentence short. She disregarded those thoughts, since she should be focusing on staying alive. Her power might be the only thing that'll save her. "Maybe you could snatch that big bastard's power, and beat him?" Meifeng suggested, shrugging again. "Because I don't have too many other ideas. He kept getting back up." "If I can get in close enough, it's possible." "Well, we knocked him on his ass a few minutes ago." Meifeng noted, shrugging. "Nothing says we can't do it again."
