"I can take it from here." said Fastlane running to the group of survivors around Shockwave and the apparently friendly tiger. 

He created a construct piece of road that would lead them out of the quarantine zone and into the arms of some EMS crews that Fastlane had called via BlueTooth in his suit. There were the five remaining survivors from earlier and a couple more that had made their way to the group. However more and more of the melted ones began coming to the area with the most commotion and Mal had to dissipate the tracks behind the group as they headed out. There were more survivors in there, but for Mal he was already getting sick and got a taste of the pure oxygen the EMS crew had in tanks for the survivors. 

The guy with the hood and the tiger had followed along with the survivors and along with Mal the three of them were kinda off to themselves away from the medical crews.

"So is the tiger like your pet or something? And doesn't anybody wear costumes to at least look like a superhero anymore? You even have a code-name Scruff McGruff?" Fastlane asked jokingly taking into account the quiet guy's 5 o' clock shadow.

The tiger kinda made Mal nervous, but in the back of his mind he knew if he was faster than anything on foot it was a big cat. Something else was on his mind however. The ice manipulator from earlier. She was some sort of hired muscle to keep the heroes out along with the police at the barricade line. There were at least two close calls in the brief meeting where she could have dealt a killing blow to the speedster's throat, and he knew it. He couldn't shake the chill, even in a suit that absorbed solar energy on a daily basis. He drifted off into his own thoughts for a few moments, pondering how a continued fight with the woman may have went. Like the intern from that Scrubs show he played out comedic scenes that could never happen in the [i]real[/i] world. He snapped back into it after the tiger began moving around a bit. Was it a shape-shifter or something? And why wasn't the hooded guy saying anything?
