Fastlane stood in complete shock for a few moments outside of the quarantine zone where EMT's and survivors were gathered around. It was one of the more low key areas outside of the zone otherwise the paid off authorities may have objected. In truth the people not directly harmed by the Tox DNA that rained over Carter Hills could still be saved. But Westman Chemicals wanted the area taken off of the map to hide their secret underground lab just under the strip mall. There they operated and probed young superhumans to try and deduce the origin of their powers and attempted to replicate them to produce their own army of super powered individuals. The shock from that being discovered is a day or two away however, the look on Fastlane's face wasn't from anything to do with survivors or melted people... it was the naked shifter in front of him that still let out a hint of a tiger's growl. 

"Get some clothes on or shift into something with some fur, there could be kids around!" he said in a quieter tone as to not draw attention to the girl's nakedness. 

"I can't believe the guy in the hood just walked away like that without saying a word. There's got to be more to him than that..." Mal thought before noticing a familiar tune in the night air.

[musical chords playing in the distance]

"Somebody in the zone is playing Search and Destroy by Metallica... No way the melted people are smart enough to listen to the radio... there must be more survivors." he said beneath his breath and trying not to stare at the girl.

"Listen, I think there's a chance some other survivors are trying to call out in there. If you wanna tag along you're more than welcome cause I could use the help. But please, shift into something already or get one of those nano-tech Tron-looking suits that can work with superhuman traits. I think I saw on or two other types of shifters wearing them..." he said as he built a track that ramped up over the quarantine fences and barricades.

In a blink of an eye he darted off and back into the 'zone running about thirty feet over the ground on tracks made by his suit headed toward the Metallica tune.
