Metropolis

Jumping slightly at the man's voice, she turned and looked at him, before smiling softly. "It would appear so..." Nodding her head, she looked at him, before motioning her hands as her way of asking if he'd like help.
 
There was a dead end coming up in the hallway. She had to choose a direction and Scarlett didn't even know if there was anyone around. She slowed down and tip-toed quietly to the end of the hall, peeking out in both directions as she tried to catch her breath, controlling her intake of air only to keep herself quiet. About to peek around the corner, she suddenly froze, hearing footsteps headed her way. There was nowhere to hide. She could run back the way she came, but whoever it was would probably hear her running off, and she wouldn't make it back far enough to hide in the time it sounded like she had until the footsteps were passing by the hallway she was in.


She began to back up, preparing herself to be confronted by this person. Her heart was racing and she held her breath, but just before he emerged into her sight, the lights flickered and dimmed. Just for a moment, but it stopped the person in their tracks and for a few seconds there was no movement, no sound, no nothing in the intersection of the three hallways.


Still, she was ready for them. But then she heard his voice "Dr. Alexodrovna, do you copy?" He waited a moment with no response. "Do you copy?... Doctor?"


When there was still no response, he was quick to turn around a rush off in the direction he had been coming from, and the Cardinal let out the breath she had been holding, peeking around the corner to see the guard jogging away.


-----------------------------------------


Seeing one of the intruders take off in the opposite direction of him was both a relief and a pain. He didn't have to deal with her anymore, but now he also needed to make sure someone stopped her. The other came straight down the hallway he was in, but at a much slower pace. He didn't even try peeking out at her, instead he pressed a button behind his ear, connected to a walkie hidden in his ear "I need back-up by the elevator, down the east and south hallways." he spoke in a low tone so that the redhead drawing nearer to him wouldn't hear.


"Copy that, back-up is on the way." The voice on the other end replied.


The redhead was close, and he leaned against the wall clutching his stomach that was really not agreeing with him. But he sucked it up and took hold of his pistol, stepping out from the adjacent hallway he had been hiding in, aiming at the super that was now in front of him. "Don't move..." his voice low and threatening, holding himself confidently in her path, pushing the pain in his stomach out of his mind completely, as he'd learned to do, at least when he needed to.


Of course, she was a super, but he didn't know what her ability was. Whatever it was, he needed to get close to her...
 
The trip around the corner wasn’t a long one, as she was forced to freeze in front of the weapon that was now trained on her. Talon travelled up the barrel of the pistol and the arm that held it before finally focusing on the man’s face.


“Don’t move…”


The man that was trained on her was also a redhead, with locks messy then hers in a loose faux-hawk that needed more hair-gel. His build was lanky, and he looked slightly uncomfortable but he held his gun with confidence. Talon let a smile take over her feature, relaxing her posture and lifting her hands over her head. The man was handsome, but he didn’t look to be physically strong at all and she took that to her advantage, as her eyes scanned over the numbers that now flashed to life.


The pistol was found quickly, and instead of doing a casual descent, the number increased by a 10 fold and she backed up a step.
 
It didn't take long at all for him to learn this super's ability...


She had some power over weight or mass. Either way, his weapon suddenly became heavy and useless in his hands. Had he been prepared for it, things would have gone a littler differently, but at the unexpected weight-gain in his weapon, it jerked right out of his hand and crashed into the floor.


Well shit.


What was he going to do? He wasn't a fighter, he was more of a super-detector/off button. He considered picking the gun back up. It was heavy, but not too heavy to hold, it would just take some strength and endurance. The only reason he'd dropped it before was because he hadn't had much of a grip on it, and hadn't needed one before then.


Whatever he did, he had to stall and keep himself out of trouble until the guards arrived.


He smirked and crossed his arms over his chest "Well, well..." He began to slowly walk closer to her, giving up on the gun, trying to get close enough... "I'm quite the unlucky one today, aren't I?" He watched her carefully, just hoping she didn't notice him starting to sweat a little. Not because he was nervous, but because his stomach was. "I just wanted to get some fresh air, and I find an intruder down here. You're with Superman and Wonder Woman, I presume?"


If there was one thing he was good at, it was bullshitting his way through a tough situation. "Bad idea sending you in here all by your lonesome..." His eyes were condescending and his voice was threatening, but his body language was calm and not aggressive at all as he began to circle around her, sizing her up, picking out every tiny detail to help him figure out how best to deal with her.
 
Alfred just looked at Peyton with a smile on his face.


"Not really. This food was for you after all. Master Bruce sent me up here to see if you woke up yet." Alfred replied to her.


Fully getting up the stairs, he turned towards her room, and took in a shallow breath.


"And after you are done, Bruce would like to see you in the study, then if you are up to it, Richard would like to speak with you in the gym." Alfred continued as he looked upon Peyton's face.
 
"O-oh...." She said quietly, blushing in embarrassment for a moment. Nodding her head, "Alright then...." Drawing in a breath, she thought for a moment, "You don't know how mad he is...do you?" Shaking her head, "Actually, don't answer that please, I don't think I want to know..." Gingerly taking the tray from him, smiling softly and kissing his cheek as a thank you, she ducked back into her room.


Looking at the food, she quirked an eyebrow, eating a bit of it, she sighed. Setting the rest aside, she nodded her head, before waiting a while. Narrowing her eyes, she stared at the wall clock. After the next set of five minutes passed, she got up and started for the study. Knocking lightly on the door, before cracking it open, she stepped inside quietly. "You wished to see me, sir?"
 
With the gun drop, Talon’s posture slightly relaxed and she continued the stare-down as it seemed the man was not backing off. In fact, he approached her with crossed arms, which made her back up in response, suspicious of him wanting to approach her. He started talking, about how he had just been going for some fresh air when he ran into her. Then, in a weird turn to his story had asked her if she had come with Superman and Wonder woman;


“So Superman and Wonder woman are flying around outside and you decide to go for fresh air?” she called him on it.


With a smirk, she leapt back from his ever approaching figure and narrowed her eyes on him, decreasing his weight to something that of a hydrogen atom. The density was still the same, so he would lift very slowly but faster than that of something that would weight more. Measurement now stood in the fork of the hallway she just left.
 
She kept backing up, he couldn't get close enough to touch her and his ability and gun were really his only defenses against other supers, or anyone else for that matter.


"Well, in case you hadn't noticed, they can't get close. Plus there are guards everywhere..." Speaking of, where was his back-up? He knew it hadn't been long, and it would take them time to get there, but the sooner the better. She seemed defensive more than anything, hopefully that wouldn't change, it was the only reason he was still standing.


She stopped and he thought he was going to have a chance to turn her powers off, but the next thing he knew, his feet were having trouble reaching the ground and he began floating upwards. So she could make things heavier OR lighter. Just before his feet completely left the ground, he used it to push himself in her direction, making one last attempt at making skin-to-skin contact with her, but came up short and became helpless.


Fortunately, he could head what sounded like a stampede heading their way. The guards, coming from every direction (all three). It was faint, but they wouldn't be too long.


He floated upwards until he could reach the ceiling. He held his hands up to keep his head from bumping. In lieu of voicing how irritated he was, he settled for glaring at her as he considered how to get down from here.


And just as it sounded like the guards were about to burst into their immediate area, he mustered all of his strength and shoved himself away from the ceiling and towards Talon, readying to grab onto her if he could only get close enough. His first priority was finding an anchor (Talon would work fine), turning her power off would definitely keep him off the ceiling though.


-----------------------------------------


An army of guards approached from every hallway leading to the fork that Measurement and Frisk were in. Armed to the teeth, with Kevlar protecting them and guns aimed at the intruder. "Get down on the ground!!" Their leader shouted, taking note of Frisk, an ally that was right where he shouldn't be. It was unlike him to be in the way, they usually had to page him over before he made an appearance. While his men intently awaited their next orders, he waited to see which direction this situation was headed in. If they would end up in a battle with this super or if she would be easily apprehended.


-----------------------------------------


Scarlett continued sneaking around, even after the close encounter she'd had. As she made her way down one of the halls, she started to hear something. Like an army marching toward her. She turned to escape in the other direction, but they were coming from that direction too. So she was trapped, but she wouldn't give up that easily. She frantically looked around for any escaped route she could find.


Nothing.


She was in a long hallway and her only chances of escape were getting back to the hallway she had come from and escaping through the elevator, or fighting these guys off. So without a moment's hesitation, she broke into a sprint back the way she had come, hoping to beat these guys back to the elevator.
 
Measurement simply shrugged at his statement, the point was them to distract the guards and that was exactly what the two were doing. As he was lifted, she almost laughed at his slightly baffled expression before she had to shrink away when he made a leap at her. Why the heck he kept trying to touch her, she would never know but she waited until he touched the ceiling to walk past his floating self.


The venture was stalled by a rumbling that seemed to encase her very presence, the noise coming from all directions and eventually identified as footsteps. Her eyes darted back up to the man on the ceiling who was currently glaring at her, and she quirked a brow. “Reinforcements already?” she teased the boy as she took a step back, her right foot finding the gun she had earlier discarded. Then in an expected turn, the man pushed off the roof and aimed for her, once again trying to touch her with an outstretched hand.


The guards showed up as his figure made the slow descent from the ceiling; more than a little annoyed, her hand shot out and grabbed his wrist. Not expecting the full force of the weight that she was trying to throw, her shoulder popped out as she slightly turned her body and whipped him towards the guards behind her. Her shoulder was dislocated and she slowly raised the other arm as she crouched down, trying to flip through the numbers. They didn’t appear and her eyes slowly widened as it dawned on her why he had been trying to grab at her.


With some panic, the girl picked up the gun at her feet and aimed it loosely, as her left hand was the only working one. Firing some lame shots, she emptied the case into the group of guards even though they were wearing Kevlar. The propulsion of the bullets would stall them for a moment and she hoped the noise would draw some attention.
 
She grabbed his wrist and a huge wave of relieve washed over him as he was thrown to the floor. The guards didn't move to help him up, but he managed on his own, a smirk spread over his features. "Already?" he repeated as she seemed to be trying to use her newly disabled powers "I called them a while ago, I was hoping they'd get here sooner..."


He watched her face as it dawned on her, the realization of what had just happened. He dusted himself off a little, his eyes turning from her to himself as he assessed the damage he'd taken. Just a scrape on his elbow where he'd connected with the floor.


"Get back!"


As she reached for the gun, one of the guards grabbed Frisk by the arm and tugged him out of the way, stuffing him back behind him. Shots were fired and once the gun was out of bullets, Frisk squeezed his way back to the front "I got her, you can bag her now."


A couple of guards were on the ground, taking shots but only momentarily winded and knocked off their feet. "Good, go shut down the other one."


Frisk nodded, flashing Measurement one last smirk over his shoulder as he walked away. She'd seemed a little cocky, it was good to put her in her place. Guards separated out of his way as he took off down the hall in pursuit of the other intruder.


Once he was out of the way, the guards closed in on Measurement to take her into custody.


----------------------------------------------


As Scarlett ran towards the hallway leading to the elevator, she saw the guards approaching. She was too late, but she didn't slow down or stop running. She watched them stop, holding their ground as they aimed their guns at her. But she kept running full force straight for them. Their leader gave them the signal, letting them know they could start shooting, but before any of them could react to it, Scarlett swung an arm in front of her, creating a gust that she magnified with her powers, a strong gale that effectively knocked all of the guards over.


She lept over them and, as they tried to recover, turned the corner. She heard shots being fired and could only assume it was Talon. She was nearing the elevator, and a man stepped out into her path. He wasn't a guard, and there was only one of him. So she decided to run right on by. He couldn't block the entire hallway, after all.


As she ran passed though, he grabbed her by the arm.


'Gotcha...' Frisk thought as he managed to make skin-to-skin contact with the second super. Easy as pie.


But she tugged her arm from his grasp and knocked his hand away from her. Skin-to-skin contact. Then knocked him off of his feet, kicking him in the back of the knees. And she ran off towards her friend.


Scarlett's clicking heels caught the attention of the guards and while some worked at capturing Talon the others turned to her. She stopped, trying to catch her breath. She heard the guy running towards her from behind, and in one quick movement, swung both of her arms up and sent strong gales towards both the guards, and the man behind her. Her attention was on Talon, who would also be blown away by the strong winds, but the guards shouldn't be able to keep hold of her.


They tried to shoot at her, and one bullet whizzed right by her face, but her wind deflected all of the bullets. Still focusing on blowing the guards away, and hearing the ones she'd evaded before nearing, she kept the winds blowing. "Measurement, let's go!" she called, figuring Talon could increase her weight to withstand the high speed winds. Her plan now was to get out of there, there were too many guards and they had clearly been discovered. She didn't know what else to do other than run away.
 
The gun was dropped a second time, this time by Measurement as it was now empty and useless. After alerting them that he had indeed, got her, they instructed him to shut down the other one. Scarlett was in trouble and she could do nothing to help her friend out, Frisk seemed to rub it in with his smirk. The guards started closing in on her and she wondered if being captured meant she would see Alex, at least then they’d know he was alive. Next time, she would add gloves to her uniform to prevent another hero with skin contact powers from doing anything to her.


Just as some guards grabbed a hold of her, the Cardinal came into their hallway, being chased by the man who had muted her powers at such an important time. The woman stopped, only briefly to catch her breath before her wind powers flourished and she forced both her, Frisk and the guards back. Talon tumbled like a weed and eventually stopped herself in the force of the wind. The guards started shooting at Scarlett but couldn’t move forward to approach her or her friend.


Then the girl shouted something over the force of the wind, making Talon frown;


“I can’t!” she responded,


“That guy turned off my powers! Make sure he doesn’t touch you!” she explained.
 
“Yes i did. I would like to speak with you about some things. Please take a seat.” Bruce said as he faced away from the door and towards the fire.


~~~~


As Alex once again awoke from his slumber, he seen that he was still chained up. As he peered around the room, he seen that it was lit up more then last time. Apart from the dreary looking stone walls, there was a small glass panel about 24 inches by 48 inches. As he looked upon the glass, he tried to force his powers out and free himself.


“What...is going...on here!” Alex yelled out as his arms were still bound by chain to the walls.


A crackle sounded from a speaker above the glass and a nasally voice spoke.


“A few tests. You are by far the best specimen that we have ever had here.” The voice cracked over the intercom.


“What the hell are you talking about! I am not some test subject!” Alex roared back at the voice.


A small section of the roof opened up and down slid a small box. The box slid down on a wire until it was in the middle of the room.


“Yes. An experiment. You ever wonder why you can not use your powers?” The voice asked.


A confused look shot across Alex’s face as he thought about the situation. After all, he was able to get out of the last situation but as soon as he thought he was free, he woke up here.


“As a matter of fact, Yes. I am worrying about that.” Alex responded.
 
Nodding her head, she kept quiet, moving towards the chair next to him before glancing over at him. Staring down at her normal looking hands, she played with the edge of her shirt. Sitting, she drew in a small breath and held it, expecting a wrath to come down.
 
Scarlett looked back at the guy Talon was talking about. He'd touched her, hadn't he? But she still had her powers. She was a little confused, Talon must've been mistaken, but she didn't have time to think about it right now. She sent one last, huge gust behind her to blow everyone back away from her, then ran towards Talon.


The guards tried to recover once the wind died down but as soon as Scarlett was next to Talon, it picked up again, spiraling around the two for a moment and then spreading out to blow everyone away from them, shooting them in all directions. She grabbed Talon by the arm, then ran right passed the guards she'd just knocked down, in the opposite direction of the elevator, that was blocked by the guards she'd evaded before.


Now they would run, and hope that they could lose all these guys following them...
 
Another huge gust racked the guards and they were forced away from Scarlett, the girl herself took out into a run towards her. Talon herself was already gaining her bearings just as her friend arrived next to her and blew the guards down again. Then she followed Scarlett’s tug away from the elevator and the guards to further down the hallway. They continued running and she realized they were heading away from the guy who had stolen her powers.


“I just grabbed him to whip him into the crowd and his weight was all back to normal again…” she explained, lost now that her powers were gone.


“What am I supposed to do now?” she asked the girl
 
"I would like you to explain your actions, starting with your last mission." Bruce asked Peyton.


Bruce kept a real cool composure as he drank from his cup of coffee and kept his gaze upon the fire. As he did so, he wanted to keep the thought of fear or punishment away from Peyton.
 
"..I acted rashly on the last mission. I know I should have handled it better, but I panicked...I can't explain why I really can't, though, in hindsight as little as it makes up for it, there is now a marked member of the gang that is close to the target enough to be trusted with guarding...?" Shaking her head, Peyton drew in a sharp breath, a fissure of information cracking out without her being able to stop it.


"But....I know I messed up. I caused the mission to fail. And I just got so....I don't know, angry at myself I guess...I just, I wanted time to clear my head, so I ducked out and went a longer way.... And I started.....I started thinking like I did before..." She couldn't really bring her self to say, before being considered good, because, in her mind, she never would be, "To where I wanted to hurt someone, anyone....and...I...I got myself in a fight, and found three supers that hadn't been at the lab.... I don't know why I just didn't follow Richard, I really don't know...." Staring at her lap, she shook her head, a feeling of self betrayal, and the breaking trust that was sure to follow. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...."
 
Alex looked at the box then at the piece of glass then back at the box for what seemed like hours awaiting the response. Just as he was about to break out in a fit of anger, the intercom broke free of it's quietness and the man spoke once again.


"I have concluded that your abilities are very powerful and your body only houses them like a battery houses energy." The voice replied to Alex.


A very confused look shot over Alex's face as he could not understand what the man just said.


"What do you mean?" Alex asked as he wanted the man to clarify what he just said.


"What i mean? I mean, your powers resemble that of Superman. You only have your powers in the sunlight. As long as you have the sun beating down upon you, your powers will stay with you. But if you are out of the reach of the sun for too long, like you are now, your powers will have faded away and you will not be anything but a normal person." The man said as he kind of laughed at the end.


Alex could not understand what he just heard. How did not even realize that. How was this person able to figure this out before him? After all, they were his powers. How was the man able to figure it out at all? What was he going to do to get his powers back? After all this time in his 'prison', Alex could not find one answer at all.


"So, now that you have figured that out, what are you going to do with me?" Alex asked, not really wanting to hear the answer.


Laughing could be heard from the other side of the glass. It was not only the scientist behind there, but a familiar voice.


"Oh dear boy. I do not want to do anything but experiment. I want to test your body. I want to figure out how your body holds these powers." The voice said with a very firm tone.


Alex exhaled quickly through his nose at what he just heard.


"So you want to know what makes this body unique so you can make an army? Isn't that right?" Alex asked.


"You are very smart. But you have not figured out one thing. That box. What is inside of it? Let me show you what it holds." The voice replied.


Alex started to jerk on the chains, trying to free his arms. He did not want to stick around and find out what this box held. As the box started to move, the lid creaked opened. From the small crack, a light shined brightly against Alex's face. Power surged through his body as he jerked upon the chains and ripped them from the walls. The box quickly snapped shut and shot upwards back into the ceiling.


"That is impressive. You are able to magnify your strength with just a small amount of sun energy." The voice said upon witnessing the event.


"I am not done!" Alex roared towards towards the glass.


Lifting his hands high into the air, he made fists and slammed them towards the ground. Upon impacting the ground, it did not crack the ground, it seemed to send a shock wave outwards. This shock wave would seem as an earthquake within the confines of the building.


On the other side of the glass, the scientist held onto the control board as he looked at the guards.


"Go in there and get him under control. Just don't kill him!" The man yelled at the guards.


The guards just nodded then moved through the room and towards the door. It slid opened and the two guards entered the containment room. Lifting their guns up and taking aim at Alex, they each fired off two rounds. They were not normal bullets, but tranquilizer rounds. The first three rounds that hit Alex's skin just bounced off as his super strong skin did it's job, but the last rounds entered his skin and did it's job.


Alex started to get wobbly quickly and his vision started to get blurry. Looking at the two guards, he took a step but by that time, he was already headed towards the ground, unconscious.
 
Scarlett tried her best to keep her bearings. Normally she was pretty good at it, but sometimes got turned around and thrown off indoors. But if she could remember the general direction that the elevator was in, they would be okay.


They ran down the hallway, the sound of the guards getting up and beginning to chase after them not too far behind, shouting and hollering all the while. It would be great if they could find somewhere to hide. Even if the guards beefed up security and kept searching for them, at least they wouldn't know exactly where they were and they would be able to sneak around.


"For now, just run." Scarlett told Talon. They could try to figure out what had happened to her when they weren't being chased anymore. Priorities. "Keep your eyes peeled for somewhere to hide too." If the hallways looped back around to the elevator that would be great, but she wasn't going to count on that.


The ground, and everything around them, shook, almost like a wave, fanning out from one point as it hit the guards behind them before it got to them. It would have knocked Scarlett down if there hadn't been a wall for her to collide with and use for support instead. An earthquake? Underground wasn't a good place to be in one of those, but after a moment it passed, and the underground hallways hadn't collapsed. There wasn't anything unsecured that would fall in the hallways, but the lights had flickered in the quake. Now they seemed okay though.


--------------------------------------------


Frisk got to his feet, leaning against the wall. They'd gotten away, and he hadn't been able to turn off the winged super's powers. He would be needed when she was caught... if she was caught. These guards were supposed to be trained and prepared for handling supers, but they were doing pretty lousy.


A wave of them rushed past him, bumping and shoving him out of the way. He was just glad the supers were far enough away that his stomach had settled. Still, if they had any smarts, they would be trying to find a way out. And the only way out was through the elevator. He glanced back over his shoulder and let out a sigh.


After picking up his empty pistol, he walked back towards the elevator. He didn't know which way they would come from, the hallways were a labyrinth. So instead of hiding behind a corner, he stepped into the elevator and the doors closed. And he waited, tugging his sleeves down. He didn't want any accidental touching, he would touch the winged super, 'Cardinal,' then stuff his hands in his pockets or take off. And call the guards of course. They wouldn't get far without their powers.


As he settled into the elevator everything shook. The lights int he elevator flickered out and the rolling quake passed with him bracing himself against the movement. He remained on his feet, but the lights stayed out even after the quake was over. He wasn't sure what it meant. Was the elevator operational still? It looked like the power was out in it, but it had a back-up generator for emergencies, hopefully it would kick on in a minute.
 
"For now, just run."


At this response, Talon listened, following her down the maze of hallways that she navigated rather easily in. Scarlett also added on that she should be looking for a hiding place, and she let her eyes wander the hallway. Her peripheral vision still saw Scarlett running in front of her, that is, until a large tremor shook the very supports of the building. The ceiling formed cracks as the building shifted from the quake it was experiencing.


This had caused the guards behind them to stumble and fall down and Scarlett to crash into a wall, Talon had just stopped herself all together, crouching down. The lights flickered a few times, but they came back brighter than ever now that the experience was over. Talon could only simply look around at the unchanged terrain, spare for the few cracks and faults that had formed. After a sharp look around at these spaces, she looked back at Scarlett,


“…hiding place?” she questioned, motioning to the holes and pointing ahead farther.
 
Bruce only nodded in response to the information she was giving him. Taking a drink of his coffee, Bruce peered upon the fire until he heard the information that caught him off guard.


"Three supers you say? Do you know of them and their powers?" Bruce asked Peyton.


Setting his cup of coffee down on the table between him and Peyton, he looked upon her face for any sign of hesitation or untruthfulness. Alfred had entered the room quietly with more coffee and a small plate of food. Placing the plate of food next to Bruce's cup of coffee, Alfred back away with little trace of ever being there.
 
"I don't know any of them....." She frowned deeply, running a hand over her arm lightly, fingers lingering at her elbow as phantom pain threatened to come flooding back in. Fully aware of his eyes on her, she swallowed hard. "The one...he made explosives....with, a red sort of liquid....I'm....I think I'm crazy in saying...I think it was blood....I found it in my hair, and though it came off...I have a bad feeling...." Shaking her head, she took in a sharp breath, "Another one....he....was like a living corpse...and the last one...." She frowned deeper, "He...repairs things....."
 
"Interesting. That is an interesting combination of supers you ran into." Bruce replied to Peyton.


Reaching down and grabbing his cup of coffee, he took a drink and placed the cup down once again.


"So, did you find out anything?" Bruce said as he looked back towards the fire.


"No i did not sir. I went through every bit of surveillance footage of the area and i tried to figure out their identities." The voice said from behind the two.
 
At the sound of a voice, Peyton froze. As the words sunk in, the realization that they had trusted her her crept up. An almost sickened look crossed her face as her hands tightened in her lap, turning snow white in colour, though she held her tongue. Repressing the reaction, she resisted the urge to look around, and instead stared at the fire, a very clear angry flickering between the blue orbs.
 
Scarlett nodded at Talon's idea. It was surprising how big the cracks in the walls were when nothing around them had collapsed. All of the ground and stuff had to go somewhere, after all. They approached the crack and it looked barely big enough for them to fit in, so hopefully the guards, who were at the very least thicker than they were, whether from muscle, fat or their gear, wouldn't fit and wouldn't be able to follow them.


They didn't know where this crack in the ground would take them or even how long it was. But it was their best chance at getting away. They were nearing another intersection of hallways. Perfect. Scarlett abruptly turned around and conjured up a strong wind to blow the guards around again. "You go first." she told Talon.


She had to stay out here and keep the guards from seeing where they were going, and also wanted to the the last in. That way if they were found, since they would practically be sitting ducks in this crack and the guards could just fire away into it, she could use her powers to protect them. Talon was in and she inched over to the crack, keeping everyone distracted with the strong wind until she quickly slipped herself into it, backing up with Talon until they were covered in darkness, hearing the guards gathering themselves.


They would be charging forward soon, and hopefully would assume the two had turn the corner up ahead and run right by them.


[[Kagu didn't give me permission to bunny her into the crack, I just did it anyway.]]
