«We Could be Heroes»

Chase noticed a dragon-girl squirming in her cell. Awake, unfortunately. She wouldn't last long if they didn't do something. Then, pulling the piece of paper out of his hat, gave it to Mikki. "Here. This is the name of someone who might help you." Then he pointed a squarish finger at the building, not 100 yards from where they crouched. "Go in there and warn your friends. Then ask for Gabriel."

(I'm here!)
"Okay." Mikki hesitated, took a deep, shaky breath, and headed across the clearing toward the Silence. Do I knock? she wondered as she neared the door.
 
Ash stared at the worker who was staring at her and being stared at by Sammy who was staring at the staring.
If one looked hard enough, they might have seen the twitch of a smile cross the man's face, but he quickly staunched it, and his face regained the hollowness that seemed to be the trademark of Silent workers.

"Okay." Mikki hesitated, took a deep, shaky breath, and headed across the clearing toward the Silence. Do I knock? she wondered as she neared the door.
Just as she was browbeating herself for not taking an accurate headcount, No-name caught sight of someone outside. The missing girl.
Before Mikki could touch the door, it swung open, and she was greeted with the shifter's stony face.
"Where have you been?"
 
Mikki jumped. "Um- Well, uh, my parachute got stuck in a tree, and by the time I got untangled, everyone was gone. So I wandered around until I found this place."
 
Sammy nodded, walking towards the oatmeal to serve herself. She noticed one of the workers having an intense staring contest with Ash.


Crow shook his feathered head, trying to make his ears stop ringing. He quickly glanced around and realized it was safe to shift back to his human form. He gazed blankly at the destruction around him, feeling shocked and empty. He followed Gage's gaze, spotting Tayn sobbing hysterically. She... She caused this?
(I guess I'll take over Tayn an Jayme if that's alright with everyone.)

Gage righted himself, using Crow's shoulder to help himself to his feet. "Who's that with her?" He said, then his heart pounded in his chest. A soldier. And why was she wearing the same uniform? His wings shot out, nearly missing the dark-haired boy. "Tayn!"
 
Mikki jumped. "Um- Well, uh, my parachute got stuck in a tree, and by the time I got untangled, everyone was gone. So I wandered around until I found this place."
Ash gave Mikki a warm smile, relieved that someone had, even momentarily, averted their attention from the unnatural solemnity in the room. "Well, it's great that you found us and you're not wandering in completely unknown territory. Who knows?" Her eyes narrowed to hide the long-dulled glint of mischief. "Maybe they're some hostile cannibalistic natives out there."
