«We Could Be Legends»

Wolfram's eyes fluttered back open, his eyes dragging over the ragged group. He drew in a shuddering breath, the claws of suffocation releasing their grasp on his throat. The anxiety was still pounding at his chest, the voice in his head whispering incoherently over and over. We need to do something...!
"We need to get the key, guys!" He spoke up, forcing himself back on his feet. His voice seemed almost ragged, weak, as if he hadn't used it in days. "We have to get it now, before Mapleshade does. Or we'll lose everything."

Sherri was very out of the loop. "Why so?" She ventured, though she was sure he would publicly shane her for that simple question.

"What do you mean, why so?" Wolfram growled softly. "The key is a poison, Sherri. It'll kill all shapeshifters, mermaids, centaurs and those of the like, if it gets in the hands of Mapleshade. We can't let that happen." His body was tense, eyes widened with fear, pupils thinned into incredibly thin slits. "If she gets that poison, almost everyone in this group will be killed by it."

"Oh. They're trying to poison us all. Just us? No one else? Why us?" Sherri wasn't asking him though, because his growling was rather doglike.

"Wolfram's right." River growled, pushing her way forward through the group towards him. "Brisa has the key to the lock box." She breathed quietly to him. "Let's go." She barked at the others, twisting her head around to give them a dark glare, as though daring them to challenge her order.
"Oh. They're trying to poison us all. Just us? No one else? Why us?" Sherri wasn't asking him though, because his growling was rather doglike.
"All inhumans, half the population of the world, Sherri. They want to take our powers from us because... Because they're maniacal idiots. Have you even been listening?" River muttered darkly, eyes rooted to Sherri with an unreadable glint to them.

"No just us, you moron! Half the population of Inhuman's." Wolfram snapped.

Wolfram nodded, eyes flickering over the group as if searching for the girl. Help me do this, Mom. Please don't let Mapleshade get it before us. He let out a soft growl, jerking his head at the group as a indication to get a move on. "Lets do this thing then." He muttered, sweeping away from the group and to his car.

Connor, having noted a progressive movement among the group, shifted back and gradually made his way over.

"Yeah, I've been listening. You all must have had a secret meeting, because this is new information. Far as I know, I was kidnapped for a tea party in Buckingham Palace."
Sherri crossed her arms. (Sherri hasn't eaten since breakfast the previous morning, and some late toast. She will most likely faint from hunger within this day.)
 
Jessi glanced around. "What are we waiting for? Let's go." She said. "But first we need to figure out the car problem. Who will go in who's car?"

Toby entered the Multitude, ready to shoot any Pure member there. He froze, and stared at the bodies that covered the ground. He knelt by the closest one a checked for a pulse, finding nothing. He stood back up and carefully picked his way through the room, trying not to step on the bodies. He searched the other rooms on the first floor for anyone that might sneak out and attack him or Frosty. He entered into the main lobby. "Hey guys? I'm not seeing any Pure people. Or at least not alive ones." He said, nudging a body in the familiar Pure outfit with his foot. "There's a lot of dead people. I'll see if any of them are still alive. I didn't find any survivors, but I only looked on the first floor. They could have left, or they could be hiding on a different floor." Or they're all dead already. He walked around the room, checking for pulses.

"I have enough van space and weaponry to outfit you all," Indigo called from the van she was leaning against, the Multitude van of course.
