[color=2d5eb9]"Try to check in once every hour or two, just so we know you aren't dead or something and that the world isn't screwed or anything."[/color] [color=silver]"Let's get going then... No point in sticking around right?"[/color] [color=2d5eb9]"Keep out of sight as much as possible, and be careful. One last chance at this, and there are no do overs."[/color] [color=silver]"I mean maybe really minor do overs..."[/color] she muttered under her breath, heading off now. There were a few different ways that they could get into the city, and all of the paths required them to break off from the sort of frontline that has been sort of declared, and sneak around the side and past it. So they did have a little bit of a walk to get there. Thalia currently had her hands sort of shoved in her pockets, walking along now. However she wasn't exactly alone with her thoughts, nope, since ever since Coventry, she had a little friend that no one else could see, that followed her along everywhere. [i][color=hotpink]"You know, you could just fly in right? Or maybe freeze time and just slip in? You can do that right? Wonder what the other two can do, think they can do anything fun? You've met Jade, but what about this other guy? Maybe he'll stab you in the back or something. Can you even get stabbed in the back? How does the whole dragon thing work? Since after all this time I am still confused."[/color][/i] the Merc with the Mouth commented, popping up next to her, but only she was able to see him of course, that's how hallucinations worked. She ignored him entirely, but his question about what the others did was an interesting thought. Turning, she looked at Ed, since he was the person she knew the least about, [color=silver]"Alright, since I'm new to this whole group thing, what exactly is your specialty or something? Since you don't seem to carry a weapon, and based on what Jakobsen said, you obviously have powers... So what exactly are they?"[/color] she asked him. [h3]New York City[/h3] "Oh, you haven't seen anything yet," Boom Boom said with a smirk, before she went to work, living up to her name as her small explosives started getting tossed everywhere, not necessarily just towards them. The explosions started going off, and the first one was [i]big[/i]. A crater appeared in the street from it and everyone ended up getting thrown backwards from the blast. Luckily it wasn't too close to people, so people only got a few bruises from it, and she was just cackling with glee at that. "Well this is fun." Mary instantly jumped back onto her feet, and sent a wave of vines directly towards Boom Boom, but more explosions started burning them rather easily. Her attention was yanked away from the demolitions expert and back to Masque, who used the explosion as a distraction and was now getting a little too close for comfort. [color=007236]"And how about you get away from me?"[/color] she commented, before vines wrapped around him and threw him a bit of a ways down the street. The ground began to shake again, causing just about everyone to be a bit unsteady on their feet thanks to Avalanche, the one with the electrified claws instantly went after Cass, sending a blast of energy right at her. It would hurt a bit, but wouldn't do much of anything physical damage wise. The cat looking woman instantly jumped up and looked at Boom Boom as an explosive narrowly missed her, "Watch what you're aiming! You're trying to hit them not us!" she snapped, sounding a bit annoyed. "How about you watch where you're going and get out of the way of my bombs!" came Boom Boom's gleeful response. Meanwhile, the group would be able to find an entrance into the building along the side, away from the chaos that was occurring. When they entered the building, it would be obvious that the building was [i]very[/i] unstable, as in it could collapse in on them at any moment, the vibrations from the earthquakes and explosions definitely weren't helping, debris was starting to come from the ceiling every so often from the chaos outside. The building was clearly abandoned, not too many people lived in it, and there was the smell of decaying bodies [i]everywhere[/i], then again, a lot of buildings still had that sort of smell. [color=yellow]"..Ok, let's see if we can find anyone..."[/color] he commented to the other two, as he went to the nearest door, opening it up and looking around inside of it. The main floor of the place was fairly large, so it might take a little while to go around to all of the rooms. [color=yellow]"We can either stick together to search the place, or split up, not sure which we should do, so what do you two think?"[/color] he asked them. Splitting up would allow them to search much more quickly, but each of them would have problems if they just so happened to run into any trouble or anyone else in the building.
