[color=MediumOrchid]“Blade?!”[/color] Patricia exclaimed upon seeing the S-tier superhero, surprise making her eyes widen. That was not what she had been expecting at all. Her expectations had been more along the lines of a big fight- but this was nice too. She relaxed a smidge. Blade still put her a bit on edge, but at least he wasn't actively trying to kill them. Reluctantly, she met his hand with a handshake of her own. [color=MediumOrchid] “Patricia. Or, like, Aria. But you knew that already.”[/color] Strangely enough, Patricia had never met Blade while she was working at H.E.R.O, but she had certainly heard of him. Everyone had. 

After a moment, Patricia managed to school her face back into one of indifference. Her eyes flicked to the screen when Blade mentioned it, and they widened ever so slightly. Kat, obviously, looked familiar to her, and so did Seraph, but the other man… it was sort of like a deja vu. She could swear she had seen his face somewhere before- which made sense once she realized who he was. Katharine’s father, Commander Zero. It made a bit more sense than she would have liked. 

She watched the video with narrowed eyes and crossed arms, trying not to react too much. As much as she would deny it, she sort of wanted to look cool in front of Blade. Once it was done, her eyes flicked back to him. 

[color=MediumOrchid] “We didn’t commit any federal off- oh God, we did, please say H.E.R.O can pardon us…”[/color] she muttered, anxiously, and any “cool” persona she had tried to cultivate melted away. She glanced to Sam, Pandora, and Alpha nervously. Hopefully, if all went right, they wouldn’t be sent to jail at the end of the day. But, more pressing matters… this dock thing. 

Patricia squawked, indignant, at Pandora’s comment. [color=MediumOrchid] “I don’t usually commit felonies! Unless you count mind control, but I’m licensed and allowed to!”[/color] After her rebuttal, she followed everybody to the outside.

[hr]

It was still pouring outside, which was not pleasant- she had just started to dry off! But they trudged on through the freezing rain, anyways. She was soaked through, shivering, by the time they got to the boat, but still hopped in and started to browse through the rack of weapons. She’d guess that everyone in Elmore Island was Patti-proof already, so she’d probably need some firepower… Going for the only thing she really knew how to operate, Patricia picked up a handgun and checked its ammunition before tucking it into the waistband of her shorts. 

It was a good idea that Pandora piloted. The only boat Patricia had ever been on was the ferry, and she was only really licensed to drive. She stood in the cabin with everybody else, watching Elmore Island grow closer and closer. Seraph was inside, she knew, and they were probably going to have to fight him. Plus some Zero combatants- which sort of worried her. Would Kat be there? Probably not, she reasoned, but if she was the weakest of Zero, then they’d be in for a huge fight. 

Patricia’s eyes widened a considerable amount as they reached Elmore Island, and she laughed at the destruction she saw. [color=MediumOrchid]“Holy shit,”[/color] she exclaimed, leaning in to get a better look out the window. It looked like everyone had already gotten here, and had already wreaked their own sort of havoc on the castle. Were they… winning? She couldn’t quite tell, but if the fire was Blake’s then… yes, maybe? She did a little round of applause, and then winced when she saw the turrets pointed at them. They were probably too far away for her to hypnotize them, logic said, and probably couldn’t hear her if she tried. Plus, if she tried to stick her head out of the boat… well, she didn’t want to think about that. Getting shot full of bullets was no fun. 

[color=MediumOrchid]“Um, if no one else can boat, I can drive?”[/color] Very reluctantly, Patricia sat down in the seat. Couldn’t be that different from driving. Keeping an eye on the water for the dark shadow of Pandora, Patricia tested out the levers and started to zoom around the bay in jerks and nervous circles, watching the gunners nervously.
