	SWORD HQ looked like it was built into the side of a mountain - think fortresses from Legend of Zelda's Breath of the Wild. The mountain cliffs were incredibly steep, with just a few winding paths that were difficult but not impossible to use to climb down the mountain. Trees were dotted sporadically and providing some cover. Aircraft seemed to be the main method of transportation, with some patrol craft periodically sweeping the area with search lights. 

	Luckily, no one spotted them and the search lights weren't passing over the tree cover Oliver had stashed them in. Unluckily, it began pouring down rain and the temperature was [i]freezing[/i].

	Thanks to Niah, Bonnie's cuffs and inhibitor collar were removed. Instantly, Bonnie's mind felt clearer and sharper - and her body more alive, stronger, faster, even better rested. It was a change that she wouldn't have noticed about herself had it not been for the collar, giving her proof - Athena had done something to her with her blessing. She wasn't the same human she had been before. And Bonnie didn't know how to feel about that, so she compartmentalized it, shoving it into a mental drawer to deal with later. She exhaled heavily through her nose in slight amusement as Niah explained that Sparky still had her leg. Only with the Secret Warriors was that something normal to say. 

	[color=f6989d]"We can do this,"[/color] Bonnie said, hoping to reassure the others. Oliver then rapidly sped off with Niah, returning shortly, grabbing Celestine, and dashing off again only to return alone. Only a few seconds had passed. Agent Woo was either still unconscious or merely pretending to be. Oliver looked extremely exhausted and Bonnie couldn't exactly blame him, he had just run an unknown distance carrying someone [i]twice[/i]. [color=f6989d]"Breathe, take a moment, it's all good,"[/color] she replied. [color=f6989d]"What's the terrain look like outside - any idea what our location is?"[/color]

[color=84B4E2][b][i]Interrogation Room B9 - Sparky, Cass, Amelia -[/i][/b][/color]

	Darcy felt like this super wasn't protocol, but also, she was strongly against dying for a job that didn't pay her very well. Sure, the sign-on bonus had been great and all, but the healthcare plan was a bit lacking and the retirement package was skimpy. Honestly, some company could come along and poach her at any time - she was frequently seen in the break room talking about how little extra money someone would have to offer her in order for her to quit. "Okay, but if I do this, you all can't attack me," Darcy warned. She was a little unnerved by Sparky. She didn't seem particularly stable at the moment. 

	[color=FFB795]"Cross our hearts and hope to die, we wouldn't do anything of the sort,"[/color] Amelia promised. Her gut was telling her that the alarms were probably due to their friends trying or succeeding in breaking out of here, meaning that Darcy was making the absolutely wrong call for her organization, but Amelia wasn't going to say anything. She talked a lot but she wasn't stupid - she knew when to be quiet about certain bits of information. [color=FFB795]"Don't worry too much about her, she's just a bit of a downer at the moment, mate. You know how it is,"[/color] Amelia then added, her eyes flickering over towards Sparky. 

	"... Fine. Whatever. I don't get paid enough anyways," Darcy said, relenting as she undid the handcuffs and then inhibitor collars. She then unlocked the door and pocked her head outside into the hallway, seeing an entire squad of armed men running down the hallway. "They don't seem to be coming here..." They were going somewhere else - not in the direction of the A block of interrogation rooms, Darcy could tell that much. 

[color=84B4E2][b][i]Interrogation Room Z11 - Matt, Maria, Raynor, Flynn -[/i][/b][/color]

	Inside of Maria's head, she would feel another psyche, another personality battling for control and dominance. For now, Maria would be able to hold the other person at bay, preventing them from taking over her body. [i]"What did you do to me?"[/i] the Monica personality screamed inside of her mind. In the real world, Monica was still struggling with the oxygen deprivation, and she weakly sent off blasts of energy at the group, hitting Folly and sending her skidding backwards again. 

	Flynn then opened the door and oxygen rushed into the room. Monica was incredibly disoriented from the lack of oxygen, and Folly hurried out the door, holding it open for the others. She could hear the sound of heavy boots hitting the ground from nearby, coming closer. They didn't have much time. "Come on, we need to be fast, there won't be another rescue after this one," Folly warned. 

	Raynor saw how bad Matt was doing and he considered just leaving him here to figure things out, before he sighed. He picked up Matt in a bridal hold. [color=d86615]"If you puke on me, I'm dropping you."[/color] Oxygen deprivation did weird things to people, even when they regained a proper amount of air.
