32 let out a grunt as he was pushed into the concrete, his shoulder popping out of joint and his collar bone snapping under the pressure. Had he worn more armor, he probably wouldn't have received as much damage. But who had time for that? The mutant who was interfering with his heart, and 32 was sure it was her, gave out. He remained still for a moment before the core's light blinked back on. 32 raised himself up on his knees, his shoulder already popping back into joint, seemingly on its own. His collar bone fused back together seamlessly.

He didn't even look at the female that had injured him, his eyes remaining on the girl with the formerly glowing eyes. She was the biggest threat, and therefor his priority. 32 reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, flat disk. He tossed the harmless looking object towards the girl. It gave a couple beeps, then exploded into a rather impressive ball of fire. A telephone pole right next to it gave out and fell, sending electrified lines into the puddles on the ground.

Uprising of the X Gene

32 kept his eyes on the man, unwavered by his offer. "I do not bargain with targets; come quietly, and the female won't be hurt." He seemed to mean business. 32 had no interest in the exchange of banter that the other, failed, agents had. He was here to get shit done. Or at least, until something went wrong. 32 felt it the moment it happened; the soft, almost inaudible whirring that came from his chest stopped. Beneath his armor, the light went out.

32's eyes widened behind his goggles. He dropped the gun, clutching at his chest not unlike an old man having a heart attack. He made a rasping gasp as he felt to his knees, his chest burning and his whole body going weak. His heart was malfunctioning. He looked up just in time to see a woman standing off into the shadows, eye glowing. 32 hadn't seen her before; another variant. Variants were never good.

His eye flicked to his gun, laying on the ground just a few feet away. He leaned slowly towards it, using one weak arm to hold himself up and the other to reach.

I'm thinking that Douglas decides to zap his heart, temporarily disarming him, either Tony or Rose grab the gun he dropped, Kevin hold him back, 32 gets loose, and then all hell breaks loose and they all fight.

The Canine Experiment

Pilot was dropped off a block from the school, and walked the rest of the way. He nonchalantly walked around the campus, looking young enough to possibly pass for an older student. He circled the school a few times, picking up scents here and there. The virus was here; of that, he was certain.

"It's here," 32 said into his headset. He took refuge in the empty school yard, where he could talk to his superiors in peace. "The virus is definitely here. What further action should I take?" He wasn't quite equipped to go in and shoot up the entire school. Pilot was pretty sure that doing so would ruin the whole 'covert' part of his mission anyways. Still, he needed to know his next step.

He IS covered in tactical gear, though.

So unless he holds still long enough for her to get frisky...

Uprising of the X Gene

Not sure a throat punch would knock him out.

Uprising of the X Gene

Why don't we do this:

Dr. Douglas sees that 32 means business, and isn't going to let the other two leave unless Kevin practically handcuffs himself. She senses his heart, but can't really tell what it is because it's a strange piece of tech. She attacks it, hoping to do some kind of damage.

32's reaction startles her, and seeing that her interference with the heart is killing him, she stops out of fear.

This give Kevin just enough time to run up and hold 32 back while Tony and Rose escape, or do whatever.

Uprising of the X Gene

Thatll work

Uprising of the X Gene

I think kevin wants a go at him

Uprising of the X Gene

She could indeed.

If she had the guts to do it.

I'm thinking that his heart has a "reboot" setting built in, where it will keep restarting until it finally works. So in order to actually kill him, she'd have to put effort forth, stand there and watch.

I feel like she prolly wouldn't be that cold.
