Futuristic Those That are Hunted

Manjano frowned at what he heard. That was rather unsettling to here. Did they experiment on gifteds? Were they torturing her for whoever she'd assassinated? Manjano really wasn't liking these people. Hearing his last name, Manjano frowned and said, "Don't call me by my last name." Ever since his twin sister had died years ago, he hated hearing his last name. It was just another reminder that she wasn't around anymore. In defense of himself for his crimes, Manjano added, "As for my crimes, I've only committed petty ones. They're really nothing significant."
 
"Do you call entering a bank vault petty crime?" the voice answered at that, ignoring his frowning and complaining. His name was a minor issue that could easily be resolved. Only if he chose wisely that is.


(np. you've still gotta wait a bit.)
 
Kytha gave a light growl before shifting her hold and stabbing the device. Another beep sounded. "Can we go already? I don't like it as is."
 
Manjano raised an eyebrow at this and said calmly, "I didn't steal a thing. I was running." He hadn't done anything wrong and knew there was no fault for him just running through a vault since he didn't take anything.


Tucker grinned at Kytha and said, "Hold on." He then became a blur, as he picked up Kytha bridal style and then dashed out of the cafeteria, jostling his way between Larassa and Hugo. Within a mere few seconds, he and Kytha had both cleared the entire building and Tucker skidded to a halt in the plaze area, unsure of where exactly to go. Looking behind himself, Tucker smirked at the ruined grass from his skid mark that he'd left upon stopping. He still was no where near his full speed, but he could get up to at least 75mph for now. He needed to figure out how to fully disable his suit and soon.


Larassa snarled at something that she couldn't make out despite it jostling her out of the way. Glancing at the receding blur, Larassa quickly barked over her radio, "We have an escapee, it's the speedster!"
 
Hearing Larassa over the radio, Amelie groaned. Why, today of all days, does Tucker's armor get messed with? ~This is a huge porblem. He can take everyone out if he wanted.~ Typing a code into the compute, the doors to the prisoners cells locked shut along with all the cell doors. At the entrance to the facility, giant steel doors shut. ~The only way out is through the front building.~ "This place is going on lockdown. I sealed the doors to the cells and the only exit. He will try to head out there." Amelie got up from her desk and walked out of her office. She may have only spoke through the com but every worker who had one heard it. Stepping out of her office, people were scurrying around. GA'S who weren't in gear were getting them on. Non gifted personnel were trying to get out of the way. "Xander, are you there? What happened?" Amelie stepped into the elevator and summon her wolf to her side.
 
Xander whipped around upon hearing Larassa over the radio and groaned upon seeing the now empty seats in the cafeteria. Cringing at what Amelie's reaction would be, Xander looked back at Richter and said, "Dude, when Amelie finds out that we let Kytha get near Tucker and then she helped him...Amelie will kill us." Beyond anxious now, Xander waited for Richter's reply.
 
Hugo was stunned for a couple of moments but then quickly talked into his radio "This is Hugo I'm going to make the whole facility a endless maze for them but it may affect some of the other people in the facility do I have your permission?"
 
Larassa immediately reacted by saying directly to Hugo, "Hell no, you have no permission. That'd screw everyone up and create even more chaos." She then spoke over the radio to Amelie, "That'd only add to the chaos, not help us corner him. He'd run us in circles for hours and not bat an eye."
 
"It would only affect like I don't know 10 other people and those would most likely be other prisoners! It gives us a major advantage as he could just knock himself out by hitting an invisible wall. Amelie please let me do this!" Hugo quickly explained
 
Xander anxiously began pacing in the cafeteria and said to Richter, "Well, she's going to call me out on the radio again any minute. Shit, shit..." Xander had no idea what kind of excuse to come up with at the moment.


(Also, we should slow down for Sh3wolf so Kytha doesn't get left behind in responding. After all, I have no doubt that she'd have some kind of reaction to the sudden speed burst from Tucker and the fact that she has left the cafeteria and appeared in the plaza within seconds.)
 
when kytha was grabbed her eyes widened. She was in awe. He stopped outside and looked confused. As she saw everything going her mind stopped. Her only reaction was to pull out her stashed knife and begin picking the lock on her cuffs. "Tucker! If i can get these off i can break the fence help me out will you? We've got little to no time before they find us!" At that a small clicking sound erupted from the cuff and she knew it was almost off.
 
Amelie took whatway they both had to say into consideration. Hugo's gift would come in handy for situations like this. "But not when it comes to Tucker. Hugo listen to Larassa. Tucker is conpletly different than any of the other prisoners. With his speed I don't know how you'd be able to affect him and we don't want others in the cross fire." Someone was getting fired for this. At this point though, she wasn't sure who. "Xander, please explain to me how Tucker's suit was tampered with?" Her voice was cold. Yelling didn't make her seem as threatening because off her small form. The elevator opened to lobby and she stepped out. This was wear her was going to go. There were GA's in front of the door. The entire first floor was evacuated so no one could get into the cross fire.
 
Tucker took Kytha's knife from her and in a blur, the cuffs unlocked and fell from Kytha's wrists. Looking at Kytha pleadingly, Tucker said, "Now quickly smash the interface and electronics to my suit!" He then quickly added, "Please don't break my back though." If he could get his full speed and gifts back, then there'd be no stopping Tucker from breaking everyone free.


Letting out a small sigh, Xander decided to take the blame for this. After all Richter was the new guy and Xander should've known better than to look away from Kytha and Tucker. Speaking to Amelie over the radio, Xander said in a resigned tone, "Kytha joined Tucker in eating breakfast and I decided to chat with Richter to pass the time. When we weren't looking, the two must've tampered with Tucker's suit or something."
 
"Can someone tell me how badly his suit has been tampered with?" Amelie spoke into the com. For a moment all she heard was static, then someone answered. "This is Dr. Lee. This is bad. I'm looking at the reading and the suit just needs one more hit till he's back at full speed." Amelie's anger rose. At this point it was taking everything she had not to yell at everyone. She turned to the men behind her. "Alright men! We are at code red!" The men readied their guns and Amelie walked behind the front desk and typed in a code on the computer. It's screen flashed red and sirens went off. A metal barrier started to enclose to the dome. "Hopefully it closes in time." Once this protocol is activated, she can't deactivate the metal dome for a a half hour after it shuts. It keep prevents anything from coming and going. But if they manage to get out first...well Amelie didn't want to think about it.
 
Hugo was frustrated Amelie said no but followed orders and tried to think of something else he could do to help. A idea popped into his head and he transformed into a younger man in the regular prisoners uniform. "Larassa lock me in the cell with Toron because if Tucker took Kytha she would not leave without her brother."


Seth looked confusedly around him. There were flashing red lights and sirens blaring around him. He covered his ears and shut his eyes as all this frightened him. Ever sense those hallucinations he was in a poor mental state. It was hard for him to stand up straight for more than 3 minuets without his knees giving way. Let me out... Let me out! He screamed inside his head.


((Gnight))

"You made quite a few purchases before getting here. And why wouldn't you steal this money? You were poor and living in the streets." they continued, tempting him to reveal what had really happened. Yes, he was a gifted but that didn't mean they would ignore every other crime the boy had committed. The simple entering of the vault without permission was a crime on itself.


The moment the sirens went off, Vulcan was fully awake. He hadn't intended to sleep long so he was still in his suit. He quickly jumped from the bed, almost hitting his head in the upper bed and walked over to the window to see what was going on outside. In the distance he could see Kytha and a prisoner he hadn't really met before. But he very well knew what this slender looking man was capable of. Everyone here did. It was the notorious speedster and Kytha was helping him escape. They couldn't let this happen. He looked up at the dome and seeing that the steel barrier was closing, his first thought was that they needed a distraction till the process was complete. It was a heavy structure so it would take a few minutes to close off completely. He opened the window, climbed out to step on the sill and leapt from there, shifting midair only to land safely on all fours. From there he didn't run straight for the two escapees as they were too far away and he would instantly be seen, but instead would have to try and circle them, take them by surprise. He circled around the medical bay that was next to the dorms and as he was standing at the back of the building, slowly began to move closer to the plaza, keeping close the wall to stay as hidden as possible. As he reached the end of his cover, he almost sat in his hind legs that would propel him forward like a spring and then leapt from behind the corner, charging at the two. If he could stop Kytha from tempering with the suit, then that would suffice as a distraction.
 
Xander was stil nervously pacing, but having Richter shouting in anger nearby was not helping his nerves one bit. Putting a hand on Richter's shoulder, Xander said, "Hey, don't sweat it, mate. I'll take the fall for this one. I'm the superior and so the fault falls on me in the end for letting a rookie make a mistake in my presence."


Larassa thought for a moment and then said, "I'll put you in Toron's cell instead. Kytha shouldn't know that Toron is in solitary confinement. She'll go back to his cell first." She then turned away from Hugo and began walking to Toron's cell, not waiting to hear what Hugo had to say on the matter.


Manjano frowned at the accusation and narrowed his eyes before saying, "I didn't steal from the vault. I swear." He really didn't want to say that he stole from Piper, of all people, but they no doubt would want to figure out where he'd gotten the money in the end. Annoying interrogators. Why did this even matter to them? He was here because of his gift, wasn't he?


Time slowed for Tucker to see that a wolf shifter was rapidly approaching the pair. Despite Tucker having some of his speed back, his eyes widened to see the shifter still quickly approaching them even after everything had slowed around him. Knowing he had no time to pick up Kytha and carry her to safety, Tucker quickly shoved Kytha aside and then put his arms up to protect his face just as the wolf shifter was seconds away from hitting him.

"What do you think should happen to the person who stole this money then?" they continued to push him. "Do you think that under some circumstances this criminal should be given a second chance?"


Vulcan knew exactly how valuable the speedster was for the government so as he was charging the two, his jaws were shut tight. He didn't want to kill him, especially since he had gotten the news of Alpha leaving the facility. So when he saw him push Kytha aside and stadning there to take the blow, Vulcan dug his paws into the ground, trying to slow down, for if they were to collide with him at his maximum speed, it would feel like being hit by a small truck. It would break his spine to say the least.
 
Manjano blinked at the questions, beginning to grow tired of them. Ignoring the recent questions, Manjano instead said, "Look, why are you holding me here? I know you kidnapped me because of my gift. Just tell me what the hell is going on here." Frowning, Manjano then stood up, beginning to feel antsy from sitting for so long.


Tucker braced for impact and then suddenly gasped when he was hit by the shifter, suddenly flying backwards before crashing to the ground with an audible grunt. Sliding back few feet, Tucker soon came to a halt and let out a small groan before slowly getting back to his feet. That was going to be some serious bruising on his back...and pride. He was no where near his full speed at this rate. There was a moment's pause of silence though and suddenly, Tucker heard it filled by some rapid beeping behind him. Whipping around, Tucker frowned upon seeing no one or anything there. Hearing the beeping behind him still, Tucker slowly smiled, as he realized that the impact to his back had probably forced the scalpel deeper into the electronics. Since he could hear then beeping, Tucker doubted he was at full speed yet, but he no doubt had more to work with now. Just how much was questionable at the moment though. For now, Tucker turned to face the wolf shifter, narrowing his eyes and now sporting a cocky grin.


 
Xander shrugged at Richter and said, "Maybe we can try to help and imprison the speedster? Or maybe we could try to at least get Kytha back in a cell. Any empty cell would work for now." Xander then added, "I wouldn't be surprised if Tucker had fallen for Kytha or something though. After all, the poor sod has been imprisoned for nearly six years. In a prison like this without your gift, anyone could go insane after a year. On top of that, the guy is constantly under surveillance and never allowed to hang out with a lot of the other prisoners."
 
Xander smirked at this and said to Richter, "Mate, I wouldn't be surprised if he was already doing that. Come on." Xander then turned away from Richter and began walking out of the cafeteria, heading towards the plaza, where Tucker and Kytha would no doubt be.
 
After a pause the voice echoed in the room once more. "You know, there’s only one person who can help you right now, and that’s you. We can listen, but you’ve got to do the talking. Things look pretty bad right now, and they are. You've got a choice to make here. Either you can cooperate or you can go to jail and spend the rest of your days behind bars. And with a gift like yours you'll always be wearing those handcuffs."


When Tucker was propelled backwards Vulcan slid a bit forward before finally stopping and watching the speedster that was just standing up again a few meters away from him. He seemed unharmed but then, Vulcan heard the beeping noise. Oh, for f**** sake! Looks like I can't do anything right these days... So the moment he heard the beeps, Vulcan charged at him again, trying to pin him down, hoping the suit hasn't been damages so much that it would release his full power.
 
(Going to pause Xander again until I see what Kytha's up to)


Tucker saw the wolf charging him again and felt time slow again, but this time he was just able to dodge the wolf in time. As he sprinted to the side to avoid the wolf's charge, Tucker could hear the wolf's slowed panting just behind him. Skidding to a halt nearby, Tucker turned to face the wolf again and was no longer grinning with the realization that he was only barely faster than the wolf currently. He needed to damage the suit more and the only way that'd work was if he managed to trick the shifter into damaging it further.
 
Vulcan could see the speedster step to the side like a bull fighter. He quickly turned his head around, followed by his whole body. He slid over the ground, his sharp curved claws digging and leaving marks in the asphalt beneath him, helping him make the 360 grad turn. He didn't want to deal damage. He just needed to buy the rising shield some time, as well as the other agents that were sure to join the fun soon enough. So when he stopped and stood upright again, facing Tucker, he began growling and started moving slowly towards him, the fur standing up on his back and making him look even bigger.
 
Tucker chuckled at the shifter and held his arms out to either side before saying, "Come at me, big, bad wolf. You don't scare me." Taking one step towards the shifter, Tucker then began sprinting towards Vulcan, becoming a slight blur.
