«We Could be Heroes»

"Ma'am, this is the ground floor." He said, putting on his 'work voice' like he always did when people got testy.
"I mean the underground floor. We were took there last night, and some people were brought there earlier today. Now how do we get there?" River snarled
(I wonder if Jayne and Thomas know that they know about the police station, or the underground part of it. And exactly what advantage do they provide?)
(Thomas I was has worked with Firestein a time or two, so he could prove useful.)
Misty stares at Gage, wide eyed. "I was never imprisoned.." she whispers. She then looks at River, instead of running straight into violence, she thinks it would be better to see if it is the time to. She mouths to River, "should I?" looking down at her knife and letting it catch the light.
A devious look glinted in River`s eye, but she shook her head no. Her eyes seemed to say I want to, but better not.

Gage glanced back, then rolled his eyes. "It's not that, uh..." He said to the guard, "We're being arrested."

The guard remained unchanged as his eyes roamed over to Jayne and Thomas. "Care to explain, gentlemen?"
"You see, Mr. Firestein has a liking to these folk, and said to come when they could. We`er escorting them." Thomas said coolly.
Gage blinked. "Oh... Oh my-" he said as he stared at the man. He felt like he was going to hurl. He tried to remind himself that this was just anothet soldier, like the one from the battle. But even in that battle, he had flown above their heads. It was so much different when it was right in your face.

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Said the man at the desk.
"Misty! That was too soon!" River snapped
Misty flicks her ear and rushes at the man, she slashes him across the chest, he falls to the ground and she punches him square in the throat crushing his windpipe, he writhes on the ground for a moment then ceases. She tosses daggers at the video cameras destroying them and erasing the video, no one was in the camera room anyway, that she knows. She rushes at the other guards and knocks them out. She looks at the others and licks the blood off her hands. "We going to save the others or what?" She smiles warmly.
"You- your crazy! They weren`t on Firestein`s side! Just normal cops!" Thomas said, shaking.
Gage blinked. He was twitterpated with her? Where was the dreamer? The one he had flown in the storm with? He had seen her like this before, and he knew what might happen if she came face-to-face with the man. He glanced down. The guard's body had a key dangling from his belt. He swallowed hard as the doors began to clatter shut again.

In an instant, he lunged. He yanked once on the keyring, and it broke away. He shoved it into the keyhole outside the door, and turned it back and forth. The door kept clattering. When he heard a small click. His eyes met Misty's just as he yanked the key out and pulled himself into the elevator. The iron bars clicked shut between them.
"I'm sorry, but this is my fight." He said, the gate's shadows falling across his face. Eyes roaming from Misty, to Tayn, to Rex. "Stay safe." Then the second door closed, and started down.
"NO!" River howled "Gage your an idiot!"
Rex had already started breathing fire at the elevator door until the door melted enough for him to grab the doors and pry them open. His hand were burn from all the melted metal, but he ignored it, and jumped into the elevator area, using his wings to slow his fall. Rex landed on the top of the elevator and started trying to pry the roof off.
River just jumped landing on her feet beside him
~~~
Thomas also jumped, using his blue light power to let him fall half way, then let him fall the rest.
Misty howls at Gage "NO!" She pounds at the door "THIS IS OUR FIGHT NOT ONLY YOURS!"

She unsheathes Svellmalar and cuts the door in half, fear filling her entire being Im not loosing him too I wont let it happen! She drops down next to Rex, and hits the elevator lightning runs up her legs and she cries out. Misty feels power fill her, and her eyes narrow, pain sprouts in her shoulders as her wings grow out once again. She cuts a hole in the roof and jumps in with Gage, staring at him she says "Im not letting you die alone Gage, if you fight I fight by your side, to the end." She meets his eyes "Im not going to loose you like I lost the others." A tear falls from her already wet eyes, "no more death to people I care about, I cant handle it anymore.."
River and Thomas dropped in too "Gage! Your a idiot!"
Gage stared wide-eyed at her, his pupils mere pinpricks. Molten iron oozed down from where Rex had blasted a hole in the roof, and his face appeared in it. If he wasn't so scared, he might have joked about the big lug actually showing some feelings for once.
Then a smell rose from the floor.
River paused and calmed down "Now none more of that. Lets do what we came to do."
"Uhh, yeah I may have thrown up over there. Sorry guys." He said. Then something snapped, lurching the box to a stop. A sliding noise. Then it started to freefall.
"Uh-oh!" Thomas yelped, horror on his face.
 
Rex jumped into the elevator.
"What is wrong with you? Do you want to die? What were you thinking? Oh wait, you weren't!" Rex yelled at Gage. He sighed, and said a lot softer, "I trust you, Gage, but you're making it hard when you keep doing stupid things like this! This our fight too, you know. You don't have to act like it isn't. We didn't join you to watch you do things like this."
The elevator broke. "Darn it! This is one of the many reasons I freaking hate elevators!" Rex yelled, leaning against the wall.
 
Rex jumped into the elevator.
"What is wrong with you? Do you want to die? What were you thinking? Oh wait, you weren't!" Rex yelled at Gage.

Thomas`s eyes glowed, and the elevator slowed
 
(oh deer. brokey elevators. no fun for you guys)
Ruby saw Chase preparing to fight. She wasn't sure who he was fighting, but he had saved her life, so she decided to fight with him. She unsheathed... er... un bun-d her hair and took up an athletic stance beside him, ears pricked to their approaching feet.
 
"Uhh, yeah I may have thrown up over there. Sorry guys." He said. Then something snapped, lurching the box to a stop. A sliding noise. Then it started to freefall.
Misty takes a step back from the vomit, then suddenly hears a screech, and immense gravity throws her to the top of the elevator, she screams out in pain and fear, as the elevator drops further into the earth.
 
Ash froze up as No-Name divvyed her off from Aero and Sammy. But I don't even know... She took a pace backward, coming up alongside of her sole remaining companion, Mikki. "Guess it's you and me, then," she murmured awkwardly as the other group made no time in setting off.
Ash lagged behind Mikki, well aware that she was communicating with someone and giving her the rightful girth of space. I just wonder who...maybe Sammy or Aero have a phone they've been hiding and she's checking up on them....maybe.



Ash flinched as though she'd been physically touched. But I wasn't even listening to the wind...and this voice somehow sounds...more concrete than the whistles of a breeze...but it wasn't a normally spoken statement...or was it? She hurried up alongside Mikki, stuffing her hands in her pockets somewhat nervously. "Did you hear that?"

"Yep," Mikki replied, smiling at Ash, "Sorry, I was just trying to text Gage." (@Fanci Feathers Marans) Then she frowned as the other girl flinched. "No, I didn't." She answered Ash. Then, on a hunch, she asked, "Was it a voice that kinda echoed in your mind, but felt more solid than your thoughts?"
