Mikki turned to go, but hesitated. He deserves to know, she thought. "Um, Chase? I need to tell you something." When he turned questioning eyes on her she barged ahead. "I lied. I'm not a tourist. I-my friends and I work for Firestein." He started and a panicked light came into his eyes. "Stop! Please don't leave! Listen. Um, we're working for him because he helped us escape from prison. But we're not bad people, I promise. We were only in prison because we accidentally killed a guy while we were trying to save a little girl..." This is coming out all wrong! Rewind! "It's a long story. Just understand that we went into this job not knowing a THING about Firestein. He wanted us to help him catch a guy-who I now know to be you-and help Silence him. I didn't even know what Silencing was, and I still don't really understand it. Anyway, from what you've told me and from the way this whole thing has progressed, Firestein is a really bad guy. My friends don’t know this and are in danger because of it. I’m going to find and warn them, but I thought you should know.”
(Sorry it took so long, @Fanci Feathers Marans!)

Sammy groaned as she got shoved. "Ow. Fine." she grumbled, slowly getting up.


(How did No-name and Dryden not notice App? XD)


Sammy gave No-name a weird look. Good thing I'm not lactose-intolerant! She thought sarcastically.

(Maybe they would get in trouble with the government if they killed everybody?)





Sammy looked at Ash. "Nope, I haven't noticed at all that these people are murderers who will probably kill us." she said sarcastically, surprising herself at the bitter tone of her voice. Ok. I'm gonna be quiet now. She thought, almost tripping over a stray root. Her eyes shot up as the jungle abruptly ended. "What's with all the bubbles?"

No-name was far enough away that she could ignore her. As they neared the sound, 'bubbles' grew larger and larger, and there was something inside of them. Humans. Inhumans to be exact. Encased in clear, spherical prisons.
Instead, No-name directed them to a small building. A girl stood at the door, dressed in khaki scrubs. At first, she didn't seem to notice them. Then she did. Her eyes, piercing and hollow, seemed to stare right past them.

( @RacehorsesRock are you getting alerts?)

Sammy's eyes widened as she spotted humans in the bubbles. "Um? What is this place?" she asked No-name, trying to keep the suspicion and fear out of her voice.

Ash stepped closer to Sammy, uncertain if she was moving toward the girl who was the closest thing she had to a friend with protectiveness or whether she was seeking some sort of comfort. Her eyes trailed across the surface of each bubble, her heart clenching with a new surge of paralyzing horror as each emotionless visage stared blankly out into nothingness. She turned a fierce glare onto No-Name, hoping for everything that she wasn't betraying her own rising terror. "Tell us now," she echoed strongly behind Sammy's words. "Is that what you do to...those who oppose you?"

Ruby squirmed in her bubble. The voices were louder, and angrier. They were probably angry at her. She didn't know why, but they probably were.

(Alerts, I hate thee.)

Chase went translucent the moment the girl uttered the scientist's name. He should have known, or at least been more suspicious. How else would she have gotten that whistle that made his hair stand on end? Only when she had finished, did his color come back. His face was stony. His eyes held a ferocity, the kind that children never see. "Who was the girl?"

Ash stepped closer to Sammy, uncertain if she was moving toward the girl who was the closest thing she had to a friend with protectiveness or whether she was seeking some sort of comfort. Her eyes trailed across the surface of each bubble, her heart clenching with a new surge of paralyzing horror as each emotionless visage stared blankly out into nothingness. She turned a fierce glare onto No-Name, hoping for everything that she wasn't betraying her own rising terror. "Tell us now," she echoed strongly behind Sammy's words. "Is that what you do to...those who oppose you?"

For once, No-name didn't have an answer. She glanced at the hollow-eyed worker, one hand on the door. Then her eyes wandered to Aero and something rose in her throat. Something she hadn't allowed herself to feel for a long time. That how they thought of her? As a villain? She sighed. In her child form, they had loved her; even saved her life.

Her voice quivered, "They do it to us, too, you know."

Ruby squirmed in her bubble. The voices were louder, and angrier. They were probably angry at her. She didn't know why, but they probably were.

She glanced at the closest bubble, which encased a dragon-girl, and she was awake. Her mouth twitched. That wasn't good. Once they woke up, the hypersleep device couldn't keep up with their nutritional needs. She would be dead in three days if something didn't happen.

No-name shoved the thought aside and moved into the building. Time for coffee and doughnuts.

Tayn nodded solemnly at Vance. They were going to have to leave him. "take care of him." She said to Seri. And turned to go back out of the cave.

Vance nodded at her back. He wasn't sure if he could have torn himself away from her, if they were to switch places. She was brave. Braver than she believed herself to be.
He clenched his fists and closed his eyes. At once, the veins in his arms glowed flaxen.
Seri immediately knelt to his side, "No, general! You can't do that, you'll-" he stopped himself. "Please rest, save your energy."
But Vance wasn't listening. All his concentration put into what he was doing. The thunder outside churned from a dull grumble into a roar. Clouds roiled and turned black, streaks of gold tore across the sky.

Then the warrior's fingers unfurled as his spirit left him. The lightning was there for her. If only she had the heart to unleash it.

(I just came on, saw that you had started up some RPing and thought I can't just leave him to die. I know I'll give him some hope. "I'll send someone back for you."....... Fanci posted first.... )
