No one was making any new orders or checking mobile ones coming in. A shiny name tag identified them as [i]Morgan[/i] - it was impossible to mentally assign a gender to them, as thinking they looked feminine only accented their masculine features and vice versa. "You'll want to go with her," Morgan told Andy, nodding over at the brunette, Sapphire. "You'll die within the hour if you go out the back." Leda was becoming a bit more coherent from the second. Maybe she had some sort of healing ability as well in addition to her rainbow powers? She had only received her powers a few days ago. For all they knew, she could also have the power to breathe water and speak to fishes, like a knock-off Aquaman from DC Comics (the Flash was Leda's favorite, though). "I can hear you all," Leda protested to Sapphire and her father. "I take it you know those asswipes?" Watts cursed, looking out the window at the new arrivals. He instinctively put a hand on his wrist, trying to inject speed serum into his body, but the watch wasn't there. He had left it in a lock box at the hotel room. The speed serum as it was currently was killing him - and he hadn't found a fix for it just yet, since he had been focusing on helping his children. "Alright, Sapphire, here's what you do. Fighting them will waste time we don't have. You're going to freeze those three fuckwads alive. Just walk out the door and make the biggest, baddest glacier out of them that you can. If they die, I doubt you'll give a shit. If they live, the cops will throw them in the Raft to rot."[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=935DB8]Veil[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/qB2G1nnk/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=935DB8]Location:[/color][/b] George Washington University: the Street [b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center] "I got it from Amazon, mate," Pyro told Echo cheekily with a wink. "Say, after all of this is over, maybe I can give you a more close up demonstration? You know what they say about those of us with pyrokinesis... We know how to make things [i]HOT[/i]." Anastasia shot him a look at disgust, though there wasn't any hint of surprise. Pyro must have been a bit of a serial flirter, hitting on every attractive man he saw that pinged his gaydar. The poor Australian criminal just needed to get laid. Valkyrie struck Veil as the most naive and clueless person she had ever met - and seemingly a bit insane. She had heard of those with powers over metal having a higher rate of mental disorders, something with the magnetism impacting their brain. It seemed like maybe the same was true for technopaths. It would explain a lot about Valkyrie, especially her comments about being from another world and having no knowledge as to how bad it was to be a mutant at the moment. [color=935DB8]"Valkyrie, careful. They're the Hellfire Club. Mutant supremacists who kill anyone who gets in their way,"[/color] Veil warned. The ambulance arrived on the scene, separated from Cayden's corpse by the Hellfire Club. No one moved from the vehicle, likely realizing that the area was still unsafe, as hostile mutants were having some sort of turf war in the streets. The wheels of the ambulance screeched as the car was suddenly put into reverse and sent far, far away - the mistress of magnetism, Polaris, hardly breaking a sweat as she got back up to her feet. [color=A9F8C7]"I don't want to fight you. We're here to get help from Hansen and Watts and that's it. No one is going to get hurt,"[/color] Polaris promised. Pyro sulked a bit in the background and Ana glared daggers at Magneto's daughter, increasingly angry about her position in the Hellfire Club's hierarchy being overlooked. [color=FAFD95]"Lorna, this isn't you! You're part of the Mutant Underground! You help people! You're not like your dad!"[/color] Havok pleaded, his guard down. [color=FAFD95]"Come back to me, please..."[/color] Polaris shook her head. [color=A9F8C7]"The Mutant Underground is a bandaid. Mutants are [i]dying[/i] everywhere. The X-Men don't care, not bothering with them. The only way to help mutants is to create our own society, to separate from humanity. We're actually doing something here in the Hellfire Club. We're not pretending and playing superhero."[/color] [color=9A86AD]"That's a lovely speech, Polaris, but we're on a schedule,"[/color] Ana reminded her. [color=9A86AD]"So we'll ask you race traitors again - do you know where those doctors are? Or will I have to go find them myself? It won't be pleasant if my hand is forced."[/color] Veil steeled her gaze on the Hellfire Club, trying to think of a strategy. Not only did they need to get their people safe and out of here, she couldn't allow them to find Hansen or Watts. Polaris wasn't thinking straight if she thought the Hellfire Club was the answer to collective mutant suffering - they had hurt more mutants than they had helped so far. Havok was a complication in all of this. She doubted he could fight his love. Her team was mourning, grieving for Cayden. And then there was Valkyrie, just a kid mixed up in all of this. But this was the Hellfire Club - they wouldn't get out of this without a fight. [color=935DB8]"Yeah, Feedback. Let's show them what some kids from Hawkins can do."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/W49hZLVD/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=#DAF7A6]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Friendly Clinic - Inside [b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center] Sunshine was dimly aware of someone messing around with her wound. She wasn't coherent enough to really tell if she was being healed or not, just knowing that someone was there. A shield then appeared in front of them and it solidified for her the identity of who her helper was - it must have been the gorgeous Russian blonde, Magik. [color=#DAF7A6]"Magik, my hero..."[/color] Sunshine half swooned, half mumbled. Maybe Magik returned her feelings for her, since she had just saved her life. It couldn't have been Max, he was too stupid to conjure anything properly that wasn't on fire. Jack and Spark Plug and all couldn't have done it, so it [i]had[/i] to be Magik. Sunshine was vaguely aware that she moved her hand up, feeling around for Magik's hand or face in order to show appreciation. [i]BOOM! SCREEEEECH![/i] A second ago, there had been a hallway with walls and an army of seemingly stunned anti-mutant supremacists. Now there was a heavily damaged truck surrounded by wreckage and carnage, at least five of the Purifiers caught underneath its tires. The airbags inside had blown and the door was almost entirely jammed. Doctor Chan stuck her head outside of the window, just able to get it to roll down with the hand crank. "You all need to scram, now! I'll handle this! Go, run, get out, vamoose, allez-allez, whatever you need to hear just GO!" Blood was trickling down her face and she had a bit of a manic smile. [color=6B576F]"UNHAND ME, CATHERINE!"[/color] Magik screamed at Spark Plug. She swung her otoscope, trying to hit her in the face with it, but she went wide and the otoscope flew out of her hand and clattered to the ground. Sunshine giggled, before her face somehow became even paler. Magik was over there by Spark Plug. And she was also right next to her with the shield she had conjured. Magik couldn't clone herself. Sunshine was pretty certain of that. There was only one person then who could have been behind her with the shield, only one person who could have gone to her and tried to help. [color=#DAF7A6]"You can let me die now,"[/color] she murmured sadly to Max.[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/KvRwSCJZ/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Friendly Clinic - Outside [b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship [hr][/center] [color=DBA1DE]"If the floor isn't in the sky, and it's not on the ground, then where is it?"[/color] Casper asked James seriously. He was still obviously in the throws of the delirium induced M-Pox - or really it could have just been an ordinary evening for Casper back when he actively used drugs. That was one nice thing about these symptoms. The only ghost he could communicate with was Ben and even Ben's form was beginning to flicker. [color=DBA1DE]"WAIT ARE WE ON MARS? I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO PIGFARTS!"[/color] Casper squealed, clapping his hands happily. [color=DBA1DE]"Do they have mimosas on Mars? That's my dream. To chill with a martian and sip mimosas and listen to the YMCA theme in German on loop!"[/color] [i]"But... you don't speak German. You speak French,"[/i] Ben reminded Casper. [color=DBA1DE]"I do too speak German! You just gotta put your hand high in the air and use an angry voice, Ben, god eeeeveryone knows that!"[/color] He tilted his head as he heard Glimpse's count on everything going down. His brain only processed bits and pieces of the information in a jumbled mess. [color=DBA1DE]"Awww, no fun, you're going to end their party when it just got started? That's so lame of you!"[/color] Casper complained. [color=DBA1DE]"I bet purifiers have sick dance moves... moves like Jagger... they could teach me how to boogie! Teach me teach me how to boogie!"[/color] There was then the sound of a large crash. [color=DBA1DE]"Aaaaand they have a DJ! No fair! I wanna go dance with them! I wanna dance with somebody! I wanna feel the heat with somebody!"[/color]
