[Gage] >>>>>BRIEF<<<<<

[[1]Gage[1]] LAST TIME, we fought Jared (who transferred himself into his computer) and several androids in an attempt to escape. We ended up regrouping in an elevator along with Gyrich and Deadpool. As the doors closed on the elevator, the lights went out and we started plummeting downwards. We'll be picking up there. Also, there was a prologue involving Lucas' brain and government scientists (these prologues will lead us into a new plot down the road so just keep them in mind for now). Any questions?

[[1]Gage[1]] >>>>>PROLOGUE<<<<<

[[1]Gage[1]] LOCATION> AREA 52, THE COLORADO ROCKIES

[[1]Gage[1]] SCENE> THE SECRET LAB WHICH HOLDS THE MIND OF A YOUNG BOY NAMED LUCAS. ALARMS ARE BLARING AS THE ELEVATOR DOORS OPEN AND DR. ALISTER AND HIS TWO SCIENTIST ASSISTANTS SCRAMBLE OUT.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> Shut off the damn alarm! ::moves to examine the life-supported brain of Lucas::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 1> ::hits a button on the wall, shutting off the wall:: I'll examine the security tapes!

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 2> ::looking at the computer screen:: The data shows a definite psi-presence was in the room. Then- :;eyes wide:: a sudden burst of energy on the upper EM bands. Then, the presence is gone.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> No. ::looks around:: What do the tapes show?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 1> Whoever it was somehow managed to disable the monitors in the room. I see the elevator doors open, then...static.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 2> ::examining computer records:: Who ever came in here knew what they were doing...they accessed the EM Temporal pinpointing. They knew that without some sort of technology to guide them, they'd jump into the time-stream and could end-up anywhere in time.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> ::moves to a console and begins scanning the brain:: I may be able to get a general fix on where this intruder went...one of you go inform General Tagger. He's not going to be happy.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 1> ::nods and moves to the elevator::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 2> Sir, if the person effected the timeline, wouldn't we not be here?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> Time doesn't work that way...the latest temporal theory suggests that a time altering event will eradication of any existing timeline after the new timeline is created, but, the eradication itself is not instantaneous.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> I'm sure if we check telemetry from our satellites we'll see some sort of disturbance.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 2> Like a destruction wave?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> Yes, how did you-?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 2> We just received word from the Galactic Avengers...they're monitoring a disturbance moving towards this section of space.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Alister> ETA?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Scientist 2> 3 days.

[[1]Gage[1]] LOCATION> JARED'S BASE, THE ELEVATOR

[[1]Gage[1]] SCENE> IN PITCH BLACKNESS, X-FACTOR, GYRICH, AND DEADPOOL PLUMMET SWIFTLY DOWN. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, POWERS ARE WORKING AGAIN.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::waits patiently and blinks:: shouldn't we stop this thing?

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Mumbling a prayer to himself, trying not to loose his lunch due to the free-fall:::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::closes her eyes and concentrates on stopping the falling car via tk::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::braces himself against the side of elevator:: Forgive the generality ofmy order, but...somebody do something!

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks for the hatch to the top of the elevator and tries to knock it open::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::wraps his wings around himself and continues praying::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Stops praying, looks to Gage::: You mean other than save myself, right?

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE ELVATOR STARTS TO SLOW THANKS TO DRAGON. CLICK FINDS THE HATCH ON THE TOP.

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...holding on to the side rail, whimpering, eyes shut tight::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::smile starts to appear on her face:: know this might be bad.. but I thought that was kinda fun

<[1]Eve[1]> ::glances around::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> Wow, following you guys was such a good idea. ::stops, looks around:: I- Did we stop?

<[1]Click[1]> ::lashes out his tendrils to grab hold of the sides of the shaft, if they havent stopped already::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::looks for the circuit box and places her hand over it:: Which floor should we go to, Gage? ::glances at Gage::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::eyes narrow, feeling the elevator slow:: ((When was the last time I told you just how great you are, hon?))

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::blinks and opens his eyes::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::eyes adjusting to the darkness, looks up:: Good job, Click. Everyone out of here. ::looks at Eve:: We're gonna use the stairs now.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::makes a face:: the stairs? But they're boring..

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE WEIGHT OF THE ELVATOR AND THE PEOPLE ON IT BEGINS TO STRAIN ON DRAGON.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::exits the elevator::

<[1]Dragon[1]> {{Talk later. Get out now.}} ::concentrating on holding the car steady for people to get out::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::stands up and jumps up to the hatch, squeezing his wings to his back and pulling himself out of the elevator::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::helps anyone else that might need it out of the elevator::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::pulls himself through the hatch and next to some elevator doors, which he pry's open:: okay, lets move quickly.

<[1]Eve[1]> Yes sir..

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...gets out with Eve's help::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Quickly makes his way out of the elevator::: When I get my hands on that cybernetic cretin, I'm gonna turn him into a toaster.

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::climbs up the ladder along the side::

<[1]Eve[1]> Seraph.. are you sure that's the right way? ::questioning look::

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks around to see if theres anyone left sides him and Dragon::

<[1]Seraph[1]> I don't know.. but we must get clear of the elevator before it begins to drop again

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::hops up and grabs ahold of the hatch at the top of the elevator, pulling himself out before jumping to grab onto the ladder on the side of the elevator shaft::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::nods and follows::

<[1]Click[1]> ::pulls himself out of the hatch and to the side ladder and looks back in:: can you get out alright?

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::ensures no one else remains in the car, before pulling herself up out of the hatch to hover, letting the car drop::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Begins singing quietly to himself as he climbs up after the others:::

<[1]Eve[1]> hmm..

<[1]Eve[1]> ::looks back a bit before climbing some more::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> ::hops out and onto the ladder:: This sucks. Maybe he has an escalator.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Gyrich> ::follows everyone else, silently::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..clings to the ladder::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Looks down at Deadpool::: If you're gonna complain, just go ahead and follow the car. We don't need more whiners on this trip.

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE CAR EXPLODES SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BELOW THEM, LIGHTING UP THE TUNNEL BREIFLY.

<[1]Click[1]> ::lashes out a tendril to go to the next set of elevator doors to open them::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::creates a tk shield below the group to block any explosive updrafts::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::dodges the tendrils:: please be careful down there!

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> CLICK OPENS UP SOME ELAVTOR DOORS.

<[1]Click[1]> ::pulls himself into the doorway and goes to help others into it::

[[1]Gage[1]] There's our exit. Lets get out of here. ::jumps off the ladder and onto the ledge of the doorway:: ((Okay...now what?)) ::sees a computer console down the hallway::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::pulls himself up and onto the floor::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Climbs through the doors, brushing himself off::: Where is he? I've got a bone to pick with him?

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::flies up to the doorway, landing and looking around warily::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::makes it up to the floor too::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..slowly climbs up after the others::

<[1]Click[1]> ::walks way from the doorway and walks away from it a few steps::

[[1]Gage[1]] Deadpool> ::hops through the doorway with no problem:: This is sooo much fun. Anyone know where we are?

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::looks at the open elevator door and climbs the ladder to it before stepping onto the floor, taking a few steps in before shifting to crystal::

<[1]Eve[1]> Looks like a hallway to me Mr. Deadpole

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Shrugs to Deadpool::: The tenth level of Hell? I hear it's quite nice this time of year.

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks for the floor level from the elevator::

<[1]Eve[1]> doesn't really feel that nice Phase..

<[1]Eve[1]> ::glances at the computer console::

<[1]Seraph[1]> I highly doubt that Mr Vincent.. ::looks at the hallway::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Jared's Voice> ::echoing throughout the base:: I assume you've escaped the elevator? Well done. I'll be sending some androids to greet you then.

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::runs a hand through her hair, looking around::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Growls loudly at the sound of the voice::: Why not come out here and face us yourself, Jared?! Afraid!?

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::shakes his head:: And we'll be destroying them.. haven't we already been through all this?

<[1]Eve[1]> He's not the only one.. maybe I can find a way out using the computer, Gage.

[[1]Gage[1]] ::looks around, hearing Jared's voice, grits his teeth:: *sigh* ::looks at Eve:: Eve, do you think you could shut out control of the base from him?

<[1]Eve[1]> ::walks closer to the console:: Just waiting for your order.

<[1]Dragon[1]> Apparently creativity is not Jared's strong point.. ::folds her arms, smirking slightly::

<[1]Eve[1]> I don't know.. I can try to see what I can do..

[[1]Gage[1]] Do it. ::taps his foot:: Try and figure out where we are and how we can get out of here.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> I have a jet around here. Try and find the hangar or something.

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Goes through his clothing::: He cleaned me out. Didn't even leave me my damned knife.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::closes her eyes places her hands on the computer, searching for anything that would help in shutting out Jared's control::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::starts to pace a bit:;

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::glances to Phase:: ..Ahh.. the man is only as good as his weapon?

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> AS EVE ACCESSES THE COMPUTER, SHE FINDS THAT WE ARE ON THE 11'TH SUB-LEVEL, AND THAT THE HANGAR IS ON THE 5TH SL. SHE IS ABLE TO SWITCH THE COMMANDS OUT OF JARED'S CONTROL BEFORE HE EVN REALIZES SHE'S ACCESSED THE SYSTEMS. SHE ALSO SENSES THAT JARED HAS ANOTHER CAPTIVE SOMEWHERE ON THE 1ST FLOOR.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::eyes flutter a bit:: we're on the 11th floor... the hangar is on level 5.. Jared has someone else.. 1st floor

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Looks at Cryz::: Remind me again, why am I letting you live?

<[1]Eve[1]> ::stands up a little dazed:: I think I have gotten control away from Jared for now.. it won't last long..

[[1]Gage[1]] ::looks at Phase:: Shut up, Phase. ::looks at Eve:: Another captive?

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::turns and looks at Phase:: Because you don't want to die? ::smiles sweetly::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::nods:: I couldn't figure out who it is.. I'm sorry Gage.. ::frowns::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::leans against a wall for some support:: ... can we save that person and go home now?

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Smirks at Dragon::: You kill me, you deal with Jennifer. :::Shrugs::: And she ain't as forgiving as I am.

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::folds his arms on his chest, looking to Phase:: Because you're a little man who prefers to use pop guns to solve things, and I'm a walking hunk of crystal?

[[1]Gage[1]] No, you did really good Eve. :;smiles, then looks at Cryz, Dragon, and Phase:: You three, cut the crap. I really don't need dissension among the ranks right now. ::sighs and moves to the elevator shaft::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::smiles a bit back:: thanks Gage..

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::looks around:: what can I do?

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Gives a mock salute::: Yes, sir!

<[1]Eve[1]> err.. sir.. ::takes a deep breath and starts walking again::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::looks at Seraph:: Can you fly in the elevator shaft? Enough room?

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..keeps pacing::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::looks at the shaft:: I'm not sure...

<[1]Eve[1]> I know you can make it Seraph

[[1]Gage[1]] Well, I need you to try. You carry Myriad up to the 1st floor and get whoever is up there out. Click you go with them. The rest of us will try and get to Hangar, get Deadpool's jet and meet you on the roof.

<[1]Seraph[1]> I will try... ::looks at Dragon:: if its not too much trouble... could you make sure I don't fall?

<[1]Click[1]> alright ::walks to the elevator shaft:: 11 floors up?

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..blinks and stops pacing::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::jumps off the floor, falling out of sight::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::shrugs slightly:: I can't keep an eye on you if I'm not watching you.. ::looks to Gage in question::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::grimaces slightly and looks down the shaft::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Looks to Gage::: I'll scout ahead. See if everything's clear.

<[1]Eve[1]> Good luck Seraph ::waves:: ...think Mr. Deadmole will let me pilot his plane? :;brightens up a bit::

[[1]Gage[1]] Yes. ::looks at Dragon:: Just make sure he gets a good take-off.

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::flies up past the others moving slowly::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::steps back to let Myriad past::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::waits for the others patiently::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> AS CLICK, MYRIAD, AND SERAPH HEAD UP THE ELVATOR SHAFT, COMPUTER PANEL BEHIND EVE EXPLODES.

<[1]Seraph[1]> <<there's not enough space to get enough lift to carry someone :P>>

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...grumbles at Click:: ...drop me and die...

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks to Myriad:: hold on tight ::extends a tendril to wrap around her and starts to climb up with his tendrils:: i will not

<[1]Click[1]> and itll be difficult to kill me if i drop you, isnt it?

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...holds with a death grip:: ...i'll find a way.

[[1]Gage[1]] ::moves away, covering his head:: What the hell?!

<[1]Eve[1]> ahh! ::falls forward::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Waves away the smoke from the destroyed panel, coughing::: Our host apparently got wind of our plans.

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::makes his way to the first floor, grabbing onto the ladder and tinkering with the door mechanism::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::looks toward the panel, wincing slightly::

<[1]Click[1]> dont worry, i will not drop you ::keeps pulling them up, looking at Seraph:: we there already?

<[1]Eve[1]> ::groans quietly:: ...think Jared found out I was playing with his toys..

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> OTHER SMALL EXPLOSIONS CAN BE HEARD THROUGH THE BASE

<[1]Eve[1]> ...I didn't do that.. ::blinks::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..grumbles:: ..how do *you* know i'm worrying, i thought *i* was the damn emotion-lady..

<[1]Seraph[1]> did you hear that? ::pulls the open lever::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::scowls, looking toward the sound of each explosion:: Sounds like the androids're having problems or something..

[[1]Gage[1]] Oh shoot. This can't be good. Lets go... ::starts down the hallway, looking for stairs::

<[1]Phase[1]> I believe this is the point where we make like rats from a sinking ship.

<[1]Click[1]> yes, i did hear that ::looks to Myriad:: Its obvious you were worrying

<[1]Eve[1]> we're in a building though, Phase..

<[1]Myriad[1]> ......

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Through clenched teeth::: It's a figure of speech my dear.

<[1]Seraph[1]> I think I got it.. ::pulls on the doors::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> SERAPH AND THE REST MAKE IT TO THE FIRST FLOOR SURPRISINGLY EASY, AND CLICK AND EVE CAN SENSE SOMEBODY WHO IS WORRIED BUT ALSO WITH A DEEP SENSE OF PRIDE.

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::gets the door open and climbs onto the first floor:: there..

[[1]Gage[1]] ::finds a door with "stairs" on it:: Okay, here we go.

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks around, trying to pinpoint where the person is, while gettin on the floor of the first floor, letting Myriad down::

[[1]Gage[1]] <,somebody update Rhythm?>>

<[1]Phase[1]> How about we send in someone to check first? Could be a trap, y'know.

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::following Gage to the stairwell::

<[1]Eve[1]> I'll do it..

[[1]Gage[1]] I'll go. ::steps into the stairwell::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...brushes her clothes off:: ..'bout time..

<[1]Eve[1]> I can go first sir ::glances at Gage::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..looks up, narrowing her eyes slightly::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::walks ahead slowly, looking for where the other person is::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::brushes past Gage:: You're the leader.. if we lose you we're not going to get very far. Stay here.

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> EVE FINDS THE STAIRWELL IS EMPTY, BUT IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL STAIRWELL, AS IT ONLY GOES UP ONE FLOOR.

<[1]Phase[1]> I was going to suggest myself, as ya'll don't seem to like me much. But, if you want to do it, have at it.

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE 1ST FLOOR GROUP SENSES THE PERSON DOWN A NARROW, EMPTY HALLWAY.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::calls it:: it only goes up one floor..

<[1]Myriad[1]> ...this way. ::..walks quickly down the hall::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::walks back without giving Gage a glance:: It looked safe

[[1]Gage[1]] ::follows:: Then we go up one floor and find more stairs. ::starts climbing::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::lets Myriad pass and follows her::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Follows after the others, keeping his eyes open for anything:::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Gyrich> ::says nothing, just follows::

<[1]Click[1]> ::follows carefully from the back::

<[1]Eve[1]> ...wonder if they saved that other person yet..

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> AS THE GROUP ENTERS THE STAIRWELL, THE SIDEWALL SUDDENLY EXPLODES OUTWARD.

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::moves up the stairs, hovering slightly::

<[1]Phase[1]> Come out, come out, wherever you are.

[[1]Gage[1]] ::ducks down:: Ahh! ((What is he doing? Destroying the base one piece at a time?))

<[1]Eve[1]> ack!

<[1]Eve[1]> ...He's really not a very nice man!!

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::keeps walking, looking around::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::follows along with everybody warily::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE 1ST FLOOR GROUP COMES UP TO THE CELL WITH PERSON, WHO TURNS OUT TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA.

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks at him sideways:: is that who it seems to be?

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::blinks:: but thats... hey, ar eyou ok in there?

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::....stops in front of the cell:: ...well, well..

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Coughing, brushing dust from his clothing::: Think he's trying to tell us something?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> Not cool, not cool! I've got shrapenal in my ass! ::pulls a shard of metal from his side:: That'll scar...which isn't really a problem for me, actaully.

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::looks to Click as she steps back:: get him out..

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> ::turns:: Who...are you?

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks at the door then to Captain America:: are the bars electrified?

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION? SMOKE BEGINS TO CLOUD THE STAIRWELL.

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::crosses her arms:: we're the people here to save you.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::coughs::

[[1]Gage[1]] <<erg>>

<[1]Dragon[1]> !? ::covers her face, ducking away from the explosion:: What the heck was that about?

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::coughing:: perhaps we should get out of here?!

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> Yes, and I haven't my shield.

[[1]Gage[1]] Agreed! ::moves to the door and pulls it open::

<[1]Click[1]> i cant get him out without first delectrifying the bars ::goes to look for a terminal::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::eyes narrow at the smoke:: I don't mind the smoke any... but then.. unlike me, you guys need to breath..

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THERE IS A PANEL FOR THE CONTROL OF THE CELLS JUST DOWN THE HALL.

<[1]Eve[1]> uh-huh ::nods and coughs some more::

<[1]Seraph[1]> maybe his shield is locked up nearby.. ::looks for a locker or something::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::waits for Eve to leave the stairwell and follows::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..just stands there, arms crossed::

<[1]Click[1]> ::tries to shut off the electricity, and maybe even open the gate too::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Covers his nose and mouth with part of his shirt::: And I thought being in the SPD was bad.

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::glances back to make sure nothing is coming from behind::

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::waves smoke away from her face, stepping through the door::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> No, it's still on the island. Just get me out of here. I think the androids are destroying this place. I've heard explosions.

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> CLICK OPENS THE GATE TO CAP'S CELL.

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks back:: alright, got it

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Looks around::: Anyone have any kind of idea where in the hell we're going? Or we just humming a few bars and faking it?

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::walks with everybody:: So who wants to guess who's behind the explosions? Even though we'd like to take credit for the attacks... we're evidently not.

[[1]Gage[1]] I think it's Jared. He's try to root us out of here, most likely ::looks down the hall::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> AS EVERYONE MOVES OUT OF THE STAIRWELL, THE PANELLING IN THE HALLWAY BEGINS TO EXPLODE AS WELL.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> Are you three here by yourselves? ((So young)) ::looks around::

<[1]Phase[1]> Gee, always wanted to run the gauntlet.

<[1]Dragon[1]> Alright. I think it's time to hurry..

<[1]Eve[1]> ::quietly:: he won't stop until we're dead..

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::ducks covering his eyes:: ((damn that bastard))

[[1]Gage[1]] Move! ::begins moving down the hallway, ducking and covering from explsoions::

<[1]Seraph[1]> we're with X Factor... but I think the questions will have to wait, we should leave

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::starts running, putting up a light tk shield around herself::

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Pulls his jacket over his head, follows Gage:::

<[1]Click[1]> no we are not ::looks around, trying to contact Gage:: {{We just rescued Captain America, are you at that jet yet?}}

<[1]Eve[1]> ::follows the rest of the group::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::runs closely behind the others::

<[1]Eve[1]> We should be getting closer to the hangar, sir!

[[1]Gage[1]] ((No! Get out of here!)) Thats it...didn't want to use the elavator shaft, but we're gonna have to! Dragon, carry Phase, Cryz and Rhythm...Eve, you've got me and Gyrich. Deadpool, you cool? ::reaches the elvaotr doors and pulls them open::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::runs with the group:: How's he locating us, then? Heat signatures? Motion?

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks to the others:: we must exit immediately:: tries to go towards the front door::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> yeah, yeah. ::hops into the elevator shaft, and starts hopping upwards off of the walls::

<[1]Seraph[1]> right.. ::follows::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::nods:: of course, sir.. Mr. Gyrich.. hold on to me tightly.

<[1]Phase[1]> He wants us dead! How he's detecting us is not the priority at the moment!

<[1]Eve[1]> ::extends her biomech wings from her armor and waits for the others::

<[1]Dragon[1]> Gotcha.. ::lifts Phase, Cryz, Rhythm and herself, telekinetically, moving into the elevator shaft::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> X-Factor? ::looks at Click:: Son, come with me. I know a way out. I have a quin jet. ::starts down the opposite way::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::grabs Eve:: Lets go!

<[1]Click[1]> ::stops and turns around going after him::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::looks at Phase as Dragon takes a telekinetic hold:: are you comfortable running away from this? 'cause i'm not

<[1]Eve[1]> ::starts to travel through the elevator shaft::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE WALLS IN THE ELVATOR BEGIN TO EXPLODE AS WELL, MOVING QUICKLY TOWARDS THE GROUP.

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::turns around:: come on Ms Wellington! ::grabs her arm and pulls her along::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::scowls:: ..Yes, it is important, because if it's weight, we float.. if it's heat... we use people who don't have heat..

<[1]Phase[1]> No, I'm not. But, at the moment, the boss man says we go. As soon as we get outta here, I say ordering a complete and utter nuclear bombardment.

<[1]Eve[1]> Everything will be gone before then, Phase..

<[1]Eve[1]> Jared won't let anything survive this.

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::looking away:: not good for me, i want the personal satisfaction of taking him out ::eyes narrow::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> ::reaches sub-leverl 5 and pries to doors open, stepping out, seeing his jet:: There you are, baby! ::moves towawrd the jet::

<[1]Phase[1]> He's a computer program, my friends. He wants out of here, he can get out. Which leaves us the perfect chance to kill him for good.

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::makes a face, moving up the shaft faster with her 'passengers'::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> ::comes to some stairs that extend to the roof:: It's on the roof.

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::glance sto Drags then reverts to flesh:: ((Sorry.. should've been thinking..))

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE EXPLSOIONS REACH THE GROUP AS THEY REACH THE 5TH SUB-LEVEL.

<[1]Eve[1]> this should be it, Sir.

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::runs up the stairs letting go of Myriad's arm::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::hops off Eve, rolling away from the elevator::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::drops Gryich to the floor::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::..mutters and rubs her arm:: ...*don't* do that again.. ::..runs after::

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks back and continues after the ohter three::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE 1ST FLOOR GROUP COME UP TO SOME ANDROIDS AND ALSO BEGIN TO FEEL THE BASE SHAKING AS THE EXPLOSIONS BECOME LOUDER.

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::drops them off at the 5th level floor, landing herself and hurrying down the hall::

<[1]Seraph[1]> I'm sorry Ms Wellington but you were in danger ::stops on the roof:: oh my..

<[1]Myriad[1]> ....since when are we *never* in danger?...

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::starts running alongside the group as long as Dragon drops them off::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::glances over his shoulder then runs after everybody, shifting to crystal mid-stride:: We seem to do a lot of running..

<[1]Phase[1]> We need to get out of here. Right now, he's got the home field advantage! ::::Follows the others:::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Gyrich> ::slyly moves way from the gorup, spotting a mini-jet::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::nods::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE HANGAR BEGINS TO BE ROCKED BY EXPLOSIONS.

<[1]Eve[1]> ...we should go.. save the others now..

<[1]Eve[1]> ::heads for the jet::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> Lets move people!

<[1]Click[1]> are we almost there captain america?

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ((just keep it up "friend" come at me with all your little explosions, i'm building quite a charge and saving it for you..))

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::looks at Cap America:: what now?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> Well, just a some flights of stairs, but we've got company. ::motions to the androids::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::hisses:: ..we don't have time for this..

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks ahead of the group and goes ahead::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Gyrich> ::hops into the mini-jet without anyone noticing, and takes off quickly with a loud burst of jet power::

<[1]Phase[1]> Something tells me he's not coming back anytime soon, guys.

<[1]Dragon[1]> Everyone.... ::looks toward the jet:: ..or not..

<[1]Click[1]> ::sends out spiked tendrils towards the robots heads:: go, ill hold them off

<[1]Eve[1]> Can we hurry and get the others and leave already?!

<[1]Eve[1]> ...please?

<[1]Eve[1]> ::slumps into her seat and glances at the ground::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> No, we don't. ::starts at the driods:: Winged-one, take the girl, fly up to my quin-jet. T-O guy, help me.

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::notices the jet taking off and shurgs it off:: (( not like I planned to be on that anyway))

<[1]Myriad[1]> .......

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::looks at Myriad:: you must trust me ::holds out his hand::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...grabs his hand:: ..once we get outta here, i'm buying some jet boots or something..

<[1]Dragon[1]> I suppose it would be unethical to fry the guy's mind and let him crash. ::mutters under her breath::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::clenshies his teeth seeing Gyrich take off, gets on the jet:: Deadpool, start us up. Gyrich is gone and we don't have to time to worry about. ::looks at Rhythm:: Lets go, on the jet!

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::puts his arm around her and spreads out his wings, flying up around the stairs::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> but, what about Jared?

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::smirks, looking to Drags:: My... aren't we vicious?

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> CAP AND CLICK MAKE SHORT WORK OF THE ANDROIDS TOGETHER.

<[1]Phase[1]> Rhythm, get on the jet. Today is not a good day to die!

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks around:: we continue going then? ::continues on the way::

[[1]Gage[1]] F*ck him! What about us!? Get on the jet!

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::smirks at Cryz, then boards the jet::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> AARGH :: looks at a computer panel near the wall and blasts it while screaming, then gets in the jet without saying a word::

<[1]Seraph[1]> almost there.. ::lands near the door:: are you alright? ::lets go of her::

[[1]Gage[1]] ::shuts the hatch:: Go Deadpool!

<[1]Myriad[1]> ...i'm fine.

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE HANGAR WALLS BEGIN TO FALL DOWN AT THE JET.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::grips her seat tightly:: why did you do that, Rhythm?

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::opens the door and looks for Cap's jet:: Click! Captain! You must hurry, the building is collapsing!

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> ::hits some buttons, then pulls back on the control, sending the jet quickly into the Siberian airways.

<[1]Rhythm[1]> it's called rage Eve.. ::looking out one of the windows::

<[1]Click[1]> were coming ::continues running::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::hurries into his seat, strapping himself in quickly as he's thrown back by the sudden acceleration::

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> THE WHOLE BASE SHUDDERS AS CAP AND CLICK REACH THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.

<[1]Eve[1]> rage..

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Frowns as they move towards the doors::: Must go faster! Must go faster!

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::runs inside, towards the nearest jet::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::runs out to the jet::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::continues:: i want to get my revenge ::looks at her:: but you guys should not be placed in danger

<[1]Dragon[1]> ::straps herself into her seat, eyes narrowing::

<[1]Eve[1]> why would I be in danger..?

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> There! ::Points to the quin-jet::. Everyone in! ::runs toward it and hops in, beginning the start sequence::

<[1]Click[1]> ::gets onto the jet::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::climbs in::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::runs to the jet and gets in last, closing the hatch behind him::

<[1]Rhythm[1]> like our fearless leader said ::sarcasm in his voice:: i should worry about the team, not Jared

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::reverts to flesh, shaking his head:: Maybe when you actually lead a team, you'll understand.

<[1]Eve[1]> ::quietly:: oh..

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> ::pulls back on the yoke, and sends the quin-jet into the sky::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::scrambles to a seat and straps in::

<[1]Eve[1]> That the rest of us are meant to be tools and/or weapons, Cryz?

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::looks at Cryz:: maybe when your parents and everyone you love gets killed by your "best friend" you'll understand

[[1]Gage[1]] ACTION> DEADPOOL'S JET MAKES IT BARELY OUT OF THE HANGAR, THE ROOF OF THE BASE COLLAPSES, AND THE GROUP CAN SEE A QUIN-JET WITH CAP, CLICK, MYRIAD, AND SERAPH IN IT.

<[1]Click[1]> ::concentrates to see if the others are still alright and alive::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...stumbles back, grabbing the nearest empty seat and sitting in it::

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::eyes Rhythm, eyes narrowing:: Try having your parents lying to you your entire life til your mutant powers first manifest then they tell you that they're friends of your parents and your parents died at birth... and those people you thought were your parents are really only caring for you because they want to use you for a weapon in their militia.

[[1]Gage[1]] ::sigh of relief seeing the quin-jet:: They made it! Is that Cap- ::looks at Rhythm, somewhat angrily:: You, need to shut it. You have a problem with me, you address me in private, got it? Until then, keep it to yourself.

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::not listening to anybody:: just staring out a window

<[1]Click[1]> ::looks to the other jet:: look!

<[1]Eve[1]> ::bites her lip and glances out a window::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> Wow, Captain America! ::radios:: Hello over there?

<[1]Phase[1]> :::Sighs, leaning back in his chair::: He's not dead, you know. He may lie dormant or go into hiding. But, he'll never be truly dead.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> This is Captain America. I think I have X-Factor people? Anyplace I need to take them?

[[1]Gage[1]] <<erg, that was over the +com+>>

<[1]Rhythm[1]> ::nods at Phase::

[[1]Gage[1]] +com+ If you can, meet us back in Virginia.

<[1]Eve[1]> We will be going back to the home base for awhile?

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...eyes widen slightly:: ((...we have to ride in a jet with captain dork..!?....))

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::looks at Myriad:: what's wrong?

<[1]Cryz[1]> ::looks out the window at the Quinjet::

<[1]Myriad[1]> ::...side-glances:: ...nothing.

[[1]Gage[1]] <Captain America> +com+ Understood. ::looks at the trio:: If you three don't mind, I'd like to make a stop...i need to pick up my shield.

<[1]Click[1]> it is not a bother to me

<[1]Myriad[1]> ..it's no problem. ::crosses her arms again and slumps back in her seat::

<[1]Seraph[1]> ::blinks:: ((she's kind of cute... what I am saying, this isn't the time for that..)) ::looks out the window::

<[1]Eve[1]> ::rests her head against the window::

[[1]Gage[1]] <Deadpool> Don't want to burst your bubble, but I ain' t going to Virginia. Farthest I go is Prague. You all are lucky I'm nut murdering you right now.
