Wallace and Mia stood in front of the big run down building. The H on the front of the building hung on its side, having long flickered out and not much of the walls remained, having been turned into rubble. The entrance was hardly an entrance anymore, it consisted of discarded glass and broken concrete, with just a hint of the archway where the doors might have stood.





"Let's begin our investigation of the area shall we?" He looked over at Mia, who absently stared ahead, her face ever expressionless. He walked into the remains of the hospital, looking around the floor first for any clues, using his monocle for assistance. Every now and then he would feel Mia brush up against his side on accident, her pace consistent but his own fluctuating between walking and a slow trot when something caught his eye.


He noticed a sign that read 'Vaccinations' and proceeded down what might have formerly been a hallway to the clinic that distributed the vaccinations. He saw many discarded papers littering the floor if the room they were entering. They appeared to be the usual forms one would sign. It was of no significance. he continued looking, spotting nothing out of the ordinary, just chairs and benches, scrubs, white coats, needles and so forth.

Pike observed the two individuals from s distance for a while. He wasn't sure what they were looking for but he decided that they weren't a threat. The best thing for him to do was introduce himself, plus it would help his survival to have alliances on his sides. He approach them trying his hardest not to start a fight. " I don't know what your looking for but the chances are it's not in there" he said ready to defend himself if need be. " but I could maybe help you two find what you are looking" hoping they trust him enough to help. @Azuria

"And what is it you believe I am looking for?" Wallace looked at the man, his hand coming up to his chin in the form of deep contemplation. He had a habit of doing such. Mia gave him a poke in the ribs.


"You didn't mention anyone approaching." She chastised. He turned his head for a moment to her.


"Ur, um, well you see I had my eyes trained on the ground most of the time-"


"You should always be ready to spot another human being." She continued to reprimand him.


"My apologies. You are right. I will not be so careless." He looked towards the young man again, the brow over his monocle furrowed, scanning him up and down. He had extensive files, so it was easy to identify him. His name was Pike Pinnock, his mother was admitted to this very same hospital. He was a meta. He would try to find more information on his powers if a fight ensued, since Mia could always use the extra information. Otherwise, he would not reveal what he knows about this person.


"Now why are you looking to help us young man?" He questioned him, a finger tapping against his chin.

 

[loyalwolf]

"Supplies, food, shelter" he replied to the mans fist question. He listen to there argument and he picked up on the fact that the man could detect others approach, a very useful talent. On top of that the girl seems to be ready to kill f need be. These two will make great allies. He puts in his best smile he can " I can't pass up the chance to help plus nothing good comes from hospital, when you only trust me" he said the last part with a little hint of sadness and anger. " the names Pike, very nice to meet you" @Azuria

The cross hairs hadn't left Mia's head the entire time Wallace and her had been walking. Staying on the sidewalk was more tactically sound but still they should have stayed in the building. Her finger never quite touched the trigger, and as they approached Mercy Hospital she gently laid the Barrett M82 down and picked up her SCAR. Checking to ensure it was working properly, and that her sidearm was there, she scooted to the edge, and swan dived.


Wind whistled past her ears and tore at her hair, but she just flipped and triggered her jets, slowing her descent until lightly landing on the rooftop. With a breath she held her hand out to the door, opening it without much trouble. More advanced the facility...the better off she was.


Sarah Aether stepped inside, rifle raised. It seemed Mercy Hospital was as lightly defended as her initial assessments said...now, to find all the information she could.


Sarah began to go down a staircase, when she heard voices. She froze and listened, wishing she had some spy gadgets. But of course, all that was at the FBI Field office down on Worth and Broadway. After this, she'd have to see if any of that was still there.


Sarah gripped her SCAR tightly, ready to intervene if needed.

"Well then Pike, my name is Wallace and this here is my assistant Mia." Mia leaned forward slightly in an attempt to bow, the girl on her back falling forward a little. She straightened up and fixed it, adjusting the ropes on her shoulders.


"We have all those you have mentioned secured. What I'm looking for is any information I can find on the vaccine. I was hoping to find some documents here. You don't happen to have any information do you? I can and will of course provide you with compensation for such" He gave a noble smile, looking down at Mia for just a brief moment as she adjusted the rope, trying to keep the meta girl from falling off. It was a bit peculiar how she was carrying the girl he thought, but surely convenient at the least. It was strange to think why this person did not mention or give any hint of curiosity as to why Mia is carrying around a person on her back. None of it mattered anyhow if he could get more information on the vaccine.

Porter listened to Artemis knock around behind him, tussling with the dogs. They were too good for humans, they really were. Nyx was no fool, however, and trickery was his forte when need be. Artemis tipped over the backend of the sofa, and as if he were expecting as much, Porter lifted his book out of the way of the boy's head--giving him no indication of irritation or the like. Though Artemis wouldn't have been able to see such an expression with the book fanned open in his face. He raised the book again with the apology, glancing as the other's cheeks flamed and he fled to the opposing end of the couch.
"The Prince." He told Artemis, as if everyone should know the book. And when he realized that it wasn't likely, he elaborated, though as minimal as possible. "By Machiavelli." Nyx blinked at Artemis's glare and wagged his tail, tongue hanging as if he were smiling. Porter chuckled quietly at the exchange. "Hmm. The dog outsmarted you, yet you're advocating saving the city. How noble." The remnants of a smirk were present as he flipped a page and found that his eyes were a bit heavy. He could always leave this body to rest in favor of another shell. Energy was ever available to likes of someone willing to steal it away.

Artemis Fletcher





"I've heard great things about that book, its been on my reading list for awhile now, I just never got around to it." Artemis said, scratching the back of his head and smiling. He eyed the pillow that was on the floor, immediately deciding against going over to retrieve it, it was obvious that the dogs had claimed it the moment it hit the ground. As he rose to his feet he made sure to clutch the blanket tightly against his chest, making sure not even an inch of it trailed across the floor, as he made his way over to the sofa across from Porter. "Thanks for everything, saving my life earlier, that delicious meal. Everything." Artemis said, after flopping down on the couch, his legs dangling over the arm of the sofa. "I think the whole tough guy routine is just a façade, I don't know what's holding you back, and I'm not one to pry." Artemis looked over at Porter, hoping to meet his eyes. "I kind of wish that I had the chance to learn more about you, but in the morning...I take my leave."


He tucked his hands behind his head, a contented sigh leaving his lips as his eyes slowly shut. "Good night."

Finally coming to a reluctant halt in front of the shadow wall, Nickolas let an almost inaudible sigh escape. He reached out at touched the incoming mass and, finding an almost velvet like texture with damn near no resistance, turned to see the same at the other end of the alley. 'Well fuck you too man.'



"Fine. What exactly did you want to 'chat' about then?" He asked, more annoyance than concession. He was already eyeing up the alley walls - they were probably rough enough to provide handholds he could use to climb to the roof two stories up. He didn't want to risk it if he didn't have to but he may not have a choice if this guy didn't want to play ball. If he was just a psycho out for blood Nickolas was going to have a tough time of it.

"Lucky for you, something else has piqued my interest, so your free to go." the walls would suddenly disappear, and the voice seemed to slowly grow more distant as whoever it belong to continued to speak. "If ever we meet again, I'll kill you." and with that silence prevailed within the alleyway once more.

The cross hairs hadn't left Mia's head the entire time Wallace and her had been walking. Staying on the sidewalk was more tactically sound but still they should have stayed in the building. Her finger never quite touched the trigger, and as they approached Mercy Hospital she gently laid the Barrett M82 down and picked up her SCAR.

Alexander Acme


The crow that had been tailing Wallace and Mia easily caught sight of the strange women tracking them as well, and it watched as she entered the hospital, flitting silently through the open door after her...


"You know, its rude to snoop around and listen in on other peoples conversations." came a voice from directly behind Sarah, where Alexander stood in his white tank top, his hands idly within the confines of his pockets. He stood mere inches from her, with his back to her, how long he had been standing there was anyone's guess; but if it wasn't for him practically announcing his presence he probably would have continued to go unnoticed. "Shall I let them know your in here?" he gaze her a sideways glance, his eyes narrowing to slits, the sinister smirk spreading across his face was enough to give almost anyone chills. "Or how about me and you have a little chat instead?"


He now turned to fully face her, rolling his shoulder and twisting his neck at an odd angle as he took a step forwards, the sound of muscles popping echoing down the staircase. "Its been so boring lately, I think I'm in need of a workout."

 

[loyalwolf]

It was then tha pike noticed the girl on Mia's back. He though it was strange but he had more pressing matters to worry about. The minute he heard that they were looking for imformation on the vaccine he tense up. He put his guard back." Why would you be looking for information on that sir." He said that slight venom in his voice. He was already getting angry at the slightest mention of the vaccine. He scatters some plant seeds on the floor secretly, he figure if this goes bad his gonna need to use his powers. @Azuria

Sarah spun and kicked off, jets flaring to life. Stealth abandoned, the Marine raised her SCAR as she hit the ground and skidded back, bow in full view of everyone. She set her stance.


"Take another step and you die." She promised Acme. She reached out with her technokinesis, and felt the fire suppression system. CO2. It could suck the air out. She had a trump card, but right now she was in a very tricky situation...where she might have to end up killing a lot of people.


Her grip tightened. All she could hope was that the others saw her dog tags and gave her the benefit of the doubt at her intentions.

"If ever we meet again, I'll kill you." and with that silence prevailed within the alleyway once more.

Nickolas watched dispassionately as the shadow walls that had trapped him in the alleyway vanished without a trace, the disembodied voice following along soon afterwards. It was a bit of a relief, he hadn't been looking forward to scaling the crumbling alley walls barehanded, but also worrying in that who knew when that psycho would show back up again. 'Hm, maybe whatever 'piqued his interest' would kill him so I won't have to be bothered about it.'


Either way, Nickolas wasn't going to waste time thinking about it any further. Danger gone - for now - he left the alley and continued when he had been headed: a nicely appointed house in a decent neighborhood that had been taken over by one of the newer gangs that had popped up in the aftermath of the barrier. The Red Metas were fairly small but had enough firepower and meta abilities between them to take on any feral that thought to take them out - so far at least. Nickolas had never been one for gangs, their bullshit too much to swallow, but he'd worked with them often enough throughout the years to have contacts. It was those contacts - one Emery Charles - that he was on his way to see.

"I'm looking to find a cure for the vaccine so that we may end this infernal disaster." He gestured upwards towards the forcefield, but was also referring to the destruction of the once bustling city.


Mia poked him again. "Stay alert sir." Wallace straightened up and gazed around, catching sight of two signatures nearby. Two meta humans. He tried not to show any sign of concern on his face, but gave Mia two taps on her shoulder.


"So I take it you don't have any information? If so then I am best off continuing to look for any information here." He looked at Pike, trying to shrug him off.

 

[loyalwolf]

" I don't know anything about the vaccine directly, but I do know where the hospital keeps its files, but I don't they have any records on the cure" he said realizing that maybe these people weren't so bad. He was about to continue when a girl flew in out of nowhere. He looks toward Wallace " does she also work for you man." he then notice and pick up on the dog tags on her and realized she was military. This isn't good in the slightest." I suggest both of you get ready because it seems we have a fight on our hand." he said with a sigh. He back up so that he was standing right next Mia and Wallace." he looks toward Mia and said " your obvious the fighter out of the two of you, so looks like we are going to have to work together in this situation." He then commands the seeds he threw on the floor to grow and fast.

"Stefani." She said in a monotone voice. She didn't like the thought of having to take care of a child, but she also didn't like the thought of leaving her alone. She began walking down the stairs. "Know any good places to find food?" Stefani asked. (I apologize for not posting, but I was gone all day.)

 

[The Fluffiest Floof]

Emilia quickly catched up to Stefani. "My home! That's where I lived before and live now! That should be good. I have food there and water and batteries.", she happily replied. Emilia completely trusted Stefani, like she always did with strangers.

"I kind of wish that I had the chance to learn more about you, but in the morning...I take my leave."
He tucked his hands behind his head, a contented sigh leaving his lips as his eyes slowly shut. "Good night."

Porter took in the words of his guest. He toyed with their sincerity and wondered how easily he could take Artemis's mind. "This isn't a façade." And it wasn't, really. He was as dimly amusing as crumpled paper. Curious at first, to read between lines that weren't there. "But you're prying, mildly." He told him, glancing back down at the book in hand and falling silent for a moment, avoiding Artemis's gaze. He was making it too easy. Inviting even. "Look at me." He begged Porter. But alas, Porter simply turned the page of his book. "There is nothing worth learning." He assured the boy, a final good night easing the tension between them.


Morning broke like a sad bit of irony. The sun was up, yet the sky was a thicket of gray froth spilling heavy drops ever the city. The streets steamed and Porter stood at the window, curtain pulled aside. He peered up, the dome was still visible. How was water coming through?


Astrid bounced down the stairs, giggling at her brother and nudging his side. "Still wanna travel in the rain?" She cooed, lips curled at the offer.

 

[Pink Gorilla]

Stefani gestured her hand forward. "Lead the way." She said. She thought that this kid was too trusting and too happy about the situation, but Stefani needed the food.

"Take me to the files" Wallace told the boy. Mia pulled out her sword, staying close by to Wallace. She knew something was coming but it wasn't here, and there was always that chance that nothing may strike. Still, it seemed like he couldn't tell her just yet what the situation is. She would have to stay alert.

Pike smirked " I don't know. Why exactly should I take you to it, I have no real reason to trust you, sir." he noticed that the girl was preparing for something so he made sure to keep his guard up. " What makes you think you can make a cure for all this. How do I know your not just going to try and kill off us meta-humans." he wasn't sure if he could trust these guys, so far he was given nothing to give him his trust. " Look, I show you where the files are but I want to join your group" he figure this way he can keep an eye on what this guy is actually planning, where it be good or bad. @Azuria

"What do you mean join my group? Do you want to work for me child? I would require a social security number at the very least."


Mia put a gloved hand on the back of her boss and gave him a slight tug on his suit. She gestured for him to come closer to whisper, and he complied, leaning his ear towards her.


"Hey, what's the issue?" Wallace turned to whisper back to her.


"We have two meta-humans off in the distance. This darn monocle isn't giving me a clear picture, but it is giving me a high reading for the both of them. We may have company. Not to be taken lightly either."


Mia gritted her teeth together, her hand clutching her sword tightly. She would be ready to face whatever came their way. Wallace turned back towards Pike.


"Right, back to it then. I can't of course accept you to 'join' us right away, since I don't know your credentials, loyalty and all, but we can talk about it more if you are willing to show us the files and perhaps work out a contract."


It wasn't his ideal but he was willing to hire the kid if it mean't having another meta working as an ally under him. More metas were popping up everywhere and it would be difficult to get anything done if people kept showing up, and not to mention the danger if him and Mia were to be outnumbered or separated. He knew she could handle herself well but she couldn't be everywhere at once. He needed all the help possible if he was going to do anything about the situation and the quarantine.

" How do I know you won't take the files and run off, leaving me behind." pike sighed. Knowing he had no real choice he started walking out of the room, gesturing for them to follow him. He continued toward the administration area." look this hospital keeps most of their files, digital but I was snooping a while back when everyone decides to abandon ship. I stumbled across some of their paper files. There's not much there, but maybe there's something there you can use." he opens the door to a room that held a bunch of filing cabinets, of medical research, patient history, and more. Pike took a seat in a rolling chair and relaxed as he wait for Wallace to find out what he need. The room looked like it was ransacked, it was dusty, and in bad shape. Pike knew he could find something useful, but he would have to dig really deep.
