Tags: Wren / Edie

└─────────────────────────────────┘

He was already scanning the area as Wren spoke, breathing in and out and trying to calm down. He was shaking, simply fuming with anger after what had happened. Nobody had ever seen him like this, it was certainly a new emotion he was expressing.
"Not unless her phone is on.." he said while his eyes scanned the horizon. Luckily her phone was still on and in the middle of a call. He narrowed his eyes and pointed a finger in the general direction she had landed
"That way."
He pushed past a few more people and quickly began heading in the direction Edie had escaped to. In the back of his mind he also began to track whomever was on the opposite side of the line. He didn't know who it was but he knew where they were. He grinned and saved the location before pulling up where Edie's currently changing location was and sent it vast, to every single one of his teammate's phones that were in the vicinity. If they were on their phones they'd see. They'd have to help catch this one. She couldn't make it out of here with the information she knew.

Tags: Sparrow / Aileen

└───────────────────────────┘

His eyes widened and he pulled Sparrow out of the way so that Aileen wouldn't touch her with that nasty little rusted knife of hers. Librarians don't even carry knives, anyways. He tried to keep her out of harms way but it was too late. Aileen grabbed him instead and her powers shot through him like multiple bullets to the chest. An unknown emotion entered his being and completely fought against everything he ever knew. Androids like him were never programmed with the fear of death, because then they'd just be human. He gasped and shook suddenly, his eyes rolling into the back of his head as his system massively error-ed and began to try and override the feeling. He fell to his knees, before collapsing onto the ground as his body almost convulsed in such a way one would assume he was having some sort of seizure. His older technology crashed trying to override the emotion and he lay there on the ground without another word. His mechanisms were hot and steaming and his body lay motionless. It was like trying to make a calculator divide by zero, it just cancelled out and created problems.
KIPP was down for the count.

22 F | Rebel Gatherer | Location: Leaving Rebel HQ | Tags: Hugo, Willow

It was hard to make herself stop and wait on both her teammates now that she had a job to focus on. In a way, leaving HQ made her nervous. The task force had been suspiciously quiet, and Evelyn really didn't want to be the one to run into them in the middle of such a mundane task. It wasn't like she wasn't fully prepared to fight should they end up running into them, but she definitely wanted to avoid them if possible.

"Hurry up, you two-" She called back to Hugo and Willow. "The quicker we get this job done, the quicker we get to come home"

A small shrug rolled across her shoulders but before she could answer Milo's original question, he was already shaking their head and asking another. "I ate this morning. I dont think my blood sugar was low because i normally get shaky and have a hard time concentrating. I saw both of the medics earlier. Only a bit of dehydration but not enough for me to faint like that. I've been thinking about it on my way over here to talk to you." she took a moment to pause, seeming anxious to tell them something. "I think it might be related to my abilities. Suns and shadows dont mix. My eyes are already affected when im in a human form. What if i cant be in the sun for long too?" Would Milo strip her of advisor since this made her a liability? Would she become excluded? Or would she become a test rabbit again? I'm a failure. Her head hung in front of waiting for the harshest judgement.

"should be only a few blocks from here!" and then, all of the sudden, they were walking again. michael, pointing out the various buildings and places he visited with mavis, rambling on about any random thing that he could. the officer hated silence. it was so boring and awkward. finally, once the two reached their destination, michael stepped in front of tish and offered her a dramatic bow. "you honestly don't look so great, michael. i'd feel horrible if i let you go without at least offering you some water and aspirin or something..." at this comment, michael stood back up and tilted his head a bit. run-down hotel with tish... or books...? he pondered this thought for not even half a second before his brain made a decision. tish! "as you wish, ma'am! that's very kind of you," he exclaimed, his tone almost sing-songy, "though you know you don't have to, right?"

I shouldn't stray too far from the cupcakes. after about fifteen minutes, their sweet aroma filled the kitchen and the oven beeped. pushing himself quickly off of the ground, levi set out a couple of cooling racks and grabbed a pair of oven mitts. then, he carefully poked a toothpick into the top of a few cupcakes to see if they were done. another three minutes and we should be good... moving as fast as he could, lev closed the oven and set the timer.

"no, it's alright. he's not being bothersome... though I am surprised he's stayed put this long?" the last sentence came out as a sort of question, although hannah didn't exactly mean it that way.

Find that girl. She heard the call loud and clear from behind her. She was running, weaving through the crowds that parted around her. Edie slowed, looking around her. She could see the two of them, weapons out as they followed in her wake. She lifted her hand in a little wave, panting, and then she’d jumped again. Somewhere behind them.

Keep going, keep moving, otherwise they’d actually shoot her. Still, she’d have a little while before they pinpointed her location again. She slowed down and tugged her phone out of her pocket as she ran, feeling a surge of relief as she saw the call had been answered. She lifted it to her mouth, words urgent and angry. “You better damn hurry up, Bambear.” Could he hear it? She didn’t know, but to say it out loud helped her nerves. The device was back into her pocket as she sped up, head whipping around her.

She couldn’t go far, not if Ansel had to track her location. Her teleportation would already be messing with the signal. What to do, what to do? Keep disrupting the fleeing crowds. Keep that chaos writhing, because surely they wouldn’t be reckless enough to shoot into the crowds. Not with her power. Another jump, and she was shoving through panicking civilians again.

“I know he’s taking his sweet time coming out, but there’s actually a medic in the dorm.” Jasper’s gaze traced over Dan’s face sympathetically then flicked briefly to the young redhead girl nearby, raising his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t think he’d ever seen her before, but he didn’t have time to even try to recall as he stumbled forward.

“Woah there, let’s all bump into Jasper today, why don’t we?” Mild irritation mixed with amusement lilted the edges of his words as time slowed enough to allow him to right his balance before he tumbled down. It was only the second time today that someone had rammed into him. He righted himself and spun to face his friend as time returned to normal. “Falling for me are you, just Banks? Don’t worry, I’ll forgive you, this time, but next time…”

He winked, lowering his voice. “I’ll be demanding reimbursement.”

Jasper grabbed on to Banks’ arm and turned, steering him towards Daniel. “You’ve got a patient. Took a tumble from the ceiling. It’s the new lights, I swear… Completely ruin the infrastructure of the building. We never used to have any issues before we got those damn fluorescents.”

“Well, reluctant as I am to leave the pleasure of everyone’s company…” Jasper looked around at the other three, nodding at them in turn. “I’ve still got a shift to get back to. Later, Chester, Dan, random skateboarding child.”

What the hell had just happened? The girl was stunned, keenly feeling the absence of KIPP’s hand in her own as the android seized and collapsed. She inhaled slowly, wide eyed as her thoughts raced, trying to figure out what to do. The woman’s attention had turned to her. She took a shaky step back, curling her hands into fists as she attempted to focus.

What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?

She breathed in, and then something snapped into the edge of her awareness. The familiar, reassuring presence of birds coming to her aid, the quiet flap of wings above her head. Distract her, don’t attack her, she willed the two pigeons, a drop in her stomach for potentially putting another more of her friends in danger. The birds swooped, and she ran.

“Me and Thomas were planning to go out on the city if you'd like to come?” Elora offered. She looked back across at Thomas, hoping he wouldn't mind not being consulted on her spur of the moment invitation before her gaze drifted back to Hannah and her butterfly.“Oh, he seems settled now, but he’ll get impatient soon enough.” Elora laughed softly. “Watch his wings, he’s already fluttering – oh, there he goes! Take off!” She clapped her hands excitedly.

ma'am. the word almost made her giggle as her cheeks flushed lightly. he was just so darn positive for a guy who had just gotten a few blows to the gut. she had half expected him to say no - to go back to whatever he had been doing before they had collided, but here he was and here they were.

she pulled the door open, appreciating his catching it and holding it for the two of them as they passed through. a look from the desk man made her realize how bad it looked though - her bringing a random stranger back to some ramshackled hotel, but she tried to justify it. surely he'd only stay for a few minutes and it was only to get some asprin.

her fingers found the UP button on the elevator panel once they had reached the end of the foyer, "sorry, it isn't much. im just in town for a few days and this was the most affordable stay.." most affordable stay? she cringed at her own choice of words. for pete's sake, you sound like an idiot. this place is a hellhole and you know it.

the sixth floor didn't come soon enough and she quietly led him down the hall to the room scribbled in her palm. she apologized again as she dug through her purse to find the room key. it swiped and the lock flashed red. again, and it was still red. a tell-tale sign of too many stays. she huffed, wiping the pass on her jeans, praying it would actually work this time. it normally took a few tries but she felt so out of place. finally, it registered. the door clicked and she pushed it open. though it was desperately cheap and most any sensible person would be put off by the quality, this was the home she knew, and familiar, warm relief slowly flowed back into her tense body.

the massive soldier was running with everything he had. people were clearing the street before he had to ask. they could see him coming and no one dared intercept his path. the commotion on the phone was getting more and more aggressive. her words, shoot me, sent his heart pounding even faster than the souls of his shoes against the pavement. then her voice.

“you better damn hurry up, bambear.” the urgency was there but her fear was masked. he'd recognize it in her tone.

"hang tight, lion." he breathed. his words were intentional. she was so strong, edie, but if the screaming he could already hear from less than a block away was as panicked as it seemed, this was more than just a fistfight. he pushed harder.

flying around a corner, he prayed nic had kept up. the man was smaller - more athletic, and had always been the leader of their escapades, but this was different. edie was at stake, and she was family. ansel couldn't risk his attention for one second or he would risk her life. keep pushing.

his phone buzzed.

she had jumped.

the taskforce.

edie would never use her power out in the open unless she was in absolute danger. they were all trained that way from day one and no matter how unpredictable a rebel was, this was the one unbreakable rule. it was too risky and put an instant target on their back. ansel studied to screen, his eyes bolting up to place landmarks. turn here. people were running against him. they weren't getting anywhere either. "get out- get out of the way!" warnings were useless at this point. his shoulder collided with a woman and he didn't stop. he jumped over the curb and flew around several stalls of the local farmer's market. up ahead, the familiar agility and precision of his girl made him end the call. no doubt, task force members would be tracking his network presence as soon as they recognized the connection.

then he spotted a figure towering over the crowd that made his blood run cold. TARS. with a reputation as set as the skyscrapers around them, this was no ordinary man. this was the man- no, the creature that liked to go on wild goose chases, rabbit hunts, sneaking through the shadows to catch rebels just when they weren't paying attention for the slightest second. he'd string one up before even considering a fair trial and many rebels had lost their freedom to him. this was personal. edie would not be his next trophy hunt.

ansel moved in on the girl. he just had to get to her before she jumped again. he reached for her arm, panting a labored, "edie, i'm here. i got you."

he didn't even have the chance to respond, jasper taking his arm and pushing him forward like a child on the first day of school. wait, had he said falling for him? banks let out a little flustered breath as suddenly the entire plans for the afternoon had shifted in 0.2383 seconds. now he was to be left to face some unknown injury while jasper went out patrolling on his own?

"jasper, i-" but the man was already moving away. banks tried to wrap his head around the quick exchange. calm down, you goof. you're fine. just do your job. then you can go hang out. see? all good.

the tension melted from his eyes as he moved to kneel by the groaning rebel with a kind smile, "hey. dan, was it? name's banks. where does it hurt exactly?"

"ah, the stew!" he jumped and raised both hands a little, whipping around to the stove where he lifted the lid of the pot and took a whiff. a sigh of relief slipped out. it smelled just fine, and looked even better.

"hello, its open," she called in a friendly voice.

milo nodded solemnly. "i see, i see... well, i guess you'll just have to step down. back to the surface with you, chip chop." they said matter-of-factly... before breaking in a small, sympathetic smile. "is that what you want me to say? i don't think an aversion to sunlight is really anything to be concerned about. after all, we live down here, beneath even the catacombs... the sun's reach is distant indeed."

there was a sadness in their eye as they spoke, trailing off ever so slightly, a pang of emotion visible for just a second. pain, a terrible ache that echoed through them. then, it was gone. "...nevermind that. just make sure you're taking care of yourself. that's what's important."

the general rested a comforting hand on her shoulder.

then, as if on cue, milo caught sight of harrow, eye widening and jaw going a bit slack. "what the-- harrow, get back here! did you just spit up blood?!"

Where was his water bottle, where was his water bottle, where was his water bottle!? Nic grit his teeth as he twisted around mid-stride to grab the small bottle of water that was zipped up in a side pocket. He had to be prepared, he couldn't be the one to do nothing. He shoved past a few people, his body temperature beginning to drop as he unscrewed the cap and downed the rest of the water while running. He dropped his head as he watched Ansel's frame bob between people with quick precision and he frowned. The people swathed back in after the larger man ran past, not paying much mind to the younger man. He groaned, a million thoughts racing through his mind as he dropped his head like a bull and charged through, shoving people past him as best they could. Soon, civilians got the idea that Ansel wasn't the only one running and soon they birthed a wide path for Nic to follow his friend in.
Geez, I'm not good at this, what's going on? His mind raced as he wove between people again, his eyes spotting Ansel as he came up to another rebel; Edie. He breathed a small sigh of relief as he skidded to a halt, ice forming around his feet as he looked around, breathing heavily. I'm a mentor I shouldn't be here, how do I help. He shoved his water bottle back into his pocket, pulling out his pistol to be prepared in case something happened.
The man's icy blue eyes were wild as he looked up to Ansel, who looked less composed than he. Nic ran his free fingers through his hair, trying to rid the tips of the frost that was beginning to appear. Okay, think. think think think! He pulled out his phone before looking toward Ansel and Edie. He could text Michael? No, despite trusting the guy, the person he trusted most was right beside him. Nic bit the inside of his cheek, don't call, that would be stupid to get tracked that way. He selected Milo's contact, his fingers flashing across the screen.
'HEY, we sort of have a bit of a situation, task force is here, I don't know all of the info yet but uh, might be a bit of a problem and all! He glanced over at Edie, who seemed to lack a weapon and frowned. Me and Ansel have guns but Edies pretty much unarmed and the task force, gah I don't know where they are now.
He clicked send and whipped his head back up, deciding it best to stay quiet, not draw attention to the three of them, especially when his own powers weren't helping. He didn't want Ansel to notice it, the guy knew a lot about him, but he didn't know this, he couldn't know this, he would lose his rank as a mentor if Ansel found out.

Xylas opened the door slowly, poking his head inside and offering a small smile at Romi before he stepped in. "Okay, so I'm not dying, but I--" He flashed an embarrassed smile as he opened his palms to show her the multiple deep scrapes that were still bleeding. " I sort of, fell from the roof again..." His voice trailed off as he looked away, a cut barely visible on his chin as well. "I was just wondering if you could patch me up, if its too little you don't have to, I just don't want to screw up with a gun if I can help it." He admitted with a shrug, giving another sheepish grin as he shuffled over to sit down in a free chair. He pursed his lips at the cuts on his knees too, he was used to this sort of stuff but it didn't stop the stinging that travelled all across his skin. It felt like it was crawling, and he was having none of it.
He couldn't remember if Romi had healed him because of his clumsiness before, but he couldn't tell if he was judged for climbing onto the roof to begin with. He sighed heavily, his honey-brown eyes glancing back at the medic before he gave another smile.

Darian sat still for a few moments after the conversation dribbled to a halt and he found himself just sitting across from Bennett with his hands clasped in his lap. His eyes looed over the man as he seemed to be concentrating deeply on some sort of strategy. Probably on how to tire out rebel inhumans, the officer nodded, eyes darting away to the other areas of the cafeteria and rec room.
He too became lost in thought, his eyes losing focus as he stared off into space. Himself, however, didn't have much to think about, other than if his recommendations and advice were helpful for Bennett. He bit the inside of his cheek before Bennett spoke again and he was jolted back to reality. He smiled at Bennett, nodding. "That's fine man, we all do it." He shrugged before the other male asked him to aid in something. He cocked an eyebrow, still wearing a polite smile before his eyes darted away once more. 'Yeah sure! I'm always one to help no matter the project." This time the smile that crossed his face was genuine. He shifted in his seat, were they going to do this thing now? He wasn't sure what it was but he could probably help unless of course, he had to kill someone. Which, from what Bennett was talking about earlier, likely wasn't the case

Wren acknowledged the captain’s direction with a nod, pinning her gaze on their target. The crowds were catching-on, quickly parting and scattering as she made her way forward, allowing her a better view of the scene ahead. Urgency to apprehend the woman spurred her on faster, sending a rush of adrenaline through her veins. A buzz at her side signaled that a message had arrived, most likely the whereabouts of Edie. For now, she ignored it, seeing as though the target was up ahead. Wasting a precious second to glance down to check her phone could easily mean losing the trail they had on her now.

A small wave and Edie had disappeared from the crowds. Gone without a trace. Slowing her pace, but still moving, she scanned further ahead, eyes narrowed against the sun. Where had she gone? Handgun now in hand, her other hand rested just above her pockets, about to pull out her phone. However, her steps faltered as a civilian careened into her back in a panicked rush. Catching herself, she glanced over her shoulder in search of the offender to tell him that he was headed the wrong way, when she finally saw it.

“Behind us.” The woman had teleported behind them - smart move. Her lips pressed into a fine line as she noted another man with her, hand reaching out for Edie. Another rebel friend of hers? Not good news for them. If there was one, there could easily be more. “She has a friend with her. Potentially more.”

“Yeah, we’re coming. Just waiting on Miss Slowpoke here,” Hugo called. The gatherer couldn’t resist teasing Willow, who only seemed mildly aware of the current situation as she approached him. A smile reached his face and he lightly touched her shoulder to wake her up. Giving her a quick once over, his expression changed, his brow furrowed in concern. “Hey, you okay to go?” She seemed fine only a few moments ago; she couldn’t possibly be sick. What happened? Glancing towards Evelyn, he tapped a finger against his leg, debating his next words, then added, “Don’t get me wrong, but we need to pick up the pace if you feel up to it. Evelyn’s waiting.”

After the warning, he switched to a faster pace, passing through the mess hall towards the main exit of the Rebellion. He understood Evelyn’s desire to get things done as quickly as possible. The longer they were on the surface, the more likely they were to be spotted and captured. It was just the way things worked. Not to mention that there were probably taskforce-aligned civilians out there on the surface, waiting to rat them out if they had the chance. Stepping outside, he flicked the hood of his jacket over his head. He’d take it off as soon as they were above-ground, provided it was sunny, of course. Better to keep his face hidden from sight, if possible, but blending in was by far more important. “You mentioned you had a list in mind?” he asked, directing his question towards Evelyn. “Remember what we need still?” The last part of it was more so tossed out as a joke. He didn’t doubt that Evelyn knew what produce they needed to get in the farmer’s market.
