Indignation

[XSenkoX]

Radé didn't lower her weapon an inch,instead her gaze grew colder as she tried to burn icy-hot holes into the girl with her eyes alone. "How do you know us? Especially Tripp and I..."

The cyborg shifted again, holding Alice a little tighter as his systems kicked up a little higher than before. His mind was racing as he fought with his fight-flight reflex. Flight was starting to get the upper hand, just because he was sure that he and Radé could outrun this girl.

"As for what happened..." Radé growled, "We killed some Institute slime."

Grave awoke to screaming. He sat up holding his head with one hand, wondering what could have gotten this close to him without him noticing. After groggily rubbing his head, he looked around, and then was tackled to the floor. "What the ********> On top of him was a flailing Jek. "Jek, where the hell did you come from? You left, what...2 years ago for no reason?" Jek got off Grave panting, his eyes wide with surprise. "2 years ago? I'm still two years ahead in time?" Grave looked at Jek oddly. "What do you mean still two years, "ahead", did you time travel for 2 years or something?" Jek nodded, "Yah, to me it's been 6." Grave pondered then stopped.

'"Do I look as badass as I do now?"

Jek couldn't believe after what Grave had heard he first asked that.

"Actually..." He remembered he shouldn't mess with time. "Yeah, you do Grave, maybe even more." Grave smirked, "Of course I bloody do. C'mon, I got to show you our new way of getting around without your voids." Jek was back to normal, worrying already what madness would pursue. Grave pulled a dark cloak off a massive object, "Behold, my baby!" Grave unveiled what looked to be a motorcycle, though around 3 times larger than your average one. "How long did it take to build?" "Uhhhhh, a couple days. Luckily we never turned the furnace off at home, so I built it. Want to ride?" Jek stared at it. "er...fine..."

Grave and Jek got on, Grave kicking the ride on. It roared deafeningly loud. "You ready?" Jek gulped. The cycle tore from Grave's small camp. They flew down an old road over 200mph. "Isn't this a little fast!" Grave smirked, "What???" They saw in the distance what looked like 3 people in the middle of the road. Grave slammed on the breaks, the cycle screaming as it halted.

"Hey! Get the ******** out of the road!"Jek's eyes grew wide, "Rade?!?!?!"

Radé spun to the new voice and sounds, nearly launching her sword like a massive projectile. She decided better of it moments after making the motion to throw it, so all she could really do was tighten her grip on the hilt and let the weight of the blade spin her until she could slam it into the ground.

"What in the name of the gods do you people wan--" She stopped shouting and stared at the two other newcomers. Their faces stood out to her, which was nice, "Hey, I know you guys... but I don't think I really remember getting your names... So how does the albino know mine?"

Tripp had matched the voices to people that had been around him before. The two accented voices were recent enough that their faces hadn't gotten too warped in his mind, either. He remembered the one that had yelled at them vividly... having nearly killed each other, it made sense. He didn't take his eyes off of the first woman, though, still waiting for her response to their original questions.

Grave watched as Rade swung around with her sword, "Yeah, you better not even think about hurting my bike." Grave got off, noticing Tripp, "Hey! Would you look at that, the guy that I nearly killed myself beating my guitar into. How's it going?" Jek hopped off and nearly rushed Rade. Wait a minute... we've not been together or anything, ever... Why the hell did I never ask her how that happened?!?!?! Jek turned quickly around to Grave trying to not show any body language to Rade.

Grave heard Rade's question, "Uhhh, didn't he fight some guy a long time ago with you in his void? That was a long time ago..."

Jays arms hung from the ceiling as he stood there listening to the men in the other cells next to him. He roared demonically and they all went silent. Jay pulled as hard as he could on the chains and they then finally snapped, he grinned slightly but he also new that he couldn't break threw any part of the steel box he was. One of the guards came to his door and spoke, " I hope your excited for the experiments kid because they will hurt like hell." Jay grinned even more as he pushed his arm threw the opening the guards get to look into the rooms. He grabbed the guard by the throat and just squeezed just enough to shatter the mans wind pipe. Jay watched as the man layed there on the floor gasping or trying too but then died. He heard an alarm go off as a security camera caught the mans body on tape. Jay moved away from the door and sat against a wall. He stared at the door waiting for a institute personale to walk threw the large metal door for it would be the last thing they did. Jay growled lightly as he remembered the girl and now he wanted to rip her limb from limb for betraying his trust.

He could hear mulitple guards running down the hall and see the man on the floor. One of the guards yelled out for an explenation and one of the other cell mates said it was him which wasn't a lie. The man looks inside at Jay and spits towards him only to miss. " I will teach you altered."
The rest of the guards tried holding this man back from opening the door because well it wasn't in there orders too.

Tripp turned shifted his attention slightly to the talkative of the pair that had arrived, nodding at his memory of the fight and then shifting his attention back to the girl. This was getting a little too frantic for even him, and until she explained how she knew them, he wouldn't lower his weapon. She needed to speak soon...

Radé nodded, "Yeah, I remember that. I still don't remember telling him my name, but hey, it's a small world. Apparently she knows us too, and I know I've never seen her before." Radé pointed with her sword and shrugged, "So where have you two been? I think that we all got away from the bust-out okay...after that things went to hell for most of us."

She paused, suddenly noticing the odd behaviour of the albino. She looked him over again. First, he wasn't albino. His hair was just white. She shrugged that one off. What was interesting was the fact that he seemed to be trying to act like he hadn't seen her in years.

Either that or she was imagining s**t. Again.

She sighed and made a mental note to try and talk to him alone some time. "Oh, hey, uhm, I don't actually remember if you guys gave me your names... it's been a few years and the Institute got a hold of me and I seem to have misplaced a few memories during that lovely adventure, so it's possible you were in them." She grinned wryly, "If you could?"

((I can't believe I got so snowballed in such a short ammount of time.... Please don't do that! It freaks me out, and gives me too much s**t to react to!))
Elva ignored the new duo, and focused on Rade and Tripp. I'm with Retribution, and I have a majorly telepathic aunt. It would be surprising if I didn't know your names. You guys were a top rescue priority. Most people in Retribution know who you guys and Alice are. Elva held on to her smile, but eyed Tripp's weapon warily. Could I possibly hit him before he would have a chance to shoot? Elva knew that lightning was fast, but was it fast enough to beat Tripp? She was hopping she wouldn't have to find out. Even so, she readied her power. She wanted to get home in time for Cathair's bedtime story. If she didn't, there would be Hell to pay. From her to whomever made her late, and from Ava, Elva's mother, to Elva herself.

Tripp lowered his weapon slowly, the girl wasn't lying. Or nothing in her body actions seemed that way. He holstered the gun again and readjusted Alice on his back so that she would stop slipping... She wasn't heavy, just one arm kinda failed at holding an adult.

Radé put her blade away once everything was explained and nodded. "Okay. I have no idea who you're talking about, but hell. He didn't shoot you, and that's good enough for me.

"Now...Alice is bleeding pretty badly, and I don't think we have a good place to treat her. Can you help?" Radé grinned. She wasn't ashamed to get help. It actually all worked well for her, she could drag the new guys with her and see what the albino was hiding. She liked it when things fell into place like that.

With another grin, she looked around, making sure that they were still safe. It seemed good enough, which was nice. For once, everything seemed to be okay. It couldn't last.

((You did really well. I'm proud of you~))

Jek answered Rade, "I'm Jek...just Jek." He looked a little shy, which was odd for Jek. Grave smirked as usual, "I'm!" He whipped out his SG, slamming it making the air crash down with noise, the ground ripped a scar open spelling his name for Rade, "Grave." He put it back, smiling with how awesome that looked. "So apparently, that girl is hurt, so shouldn't we take her back to a hospital or a resistance HQ... I don't know of any around here, but we can take her on my bike. I'm not sure if you want to trust Jek's portals right now, Lost Home seems to be a little angry nowadays."

Jek sighed. Yeah Lost, why are you being so cranky all of a sudden? He waited for a response.

Shut up! GRAAAAARG

Jek's eyes widened. Well...damn.

“Damn Doctors.” Madlax said walking out of the hospital. Her hand was fine and everything but now she had to go deal with more s**t. Today had been a long day and it needed to end. But no, when you’re the Institutes dog, you never get any rest.

Madlax made her way to the ground floor and darted out into the street headed back to where the incident happened. She had to ‘Survey the area’ witch was just her boss’s way of saying, ‘Make sure people aren’t freaking out.’ This job never got any more fun. Madlax sighed and continued on her way.

It took her about five minutes to reach the sight, she was completely unaware of the group just around the corner so, when Madlax turned the corner, she didn’t sneak in. She strolled and stooped in her tracks. Only a foot or two away from her stood a group of Rebellious altered. “Damn them all to hell.” She grumbled as she reached for her gun. But, the gun wasn’t with her, it was on her bathroom sink. Now Madlax had to rely on her powers and hope, that she didn’t die.

"Just so you know, this isn't a petty mission. Those people are important. Tripp is the dragon's partner, and I'm sure you remember her... The small girl with pink hair and that massive blade? The one that simply broke the walls to get out... so if he's with people, she's got to be there too. Tripp himself is an interest for what is the possibility of a complete re-programme and Alice would just be nice to have back." Gha'aru smirked, "And besides, that group has all broken out of here once before. We want them."

Gha'aru didn't wait for Susan to move, his simply brushed past her. He was careful enough not to hit her, but she definitely came into contact with his armoured side. He clicked down the hallway until he had made his way upstairs. A brief meeting with the boss-man concluded that Gha'aru would be on assignment to try and capture that elusive rebel team. He chuckled on his way out of the office, it was his first real run in a long time. The predator would enjoy the game.

Making his way back through the building and drawing stares just made the Scarrow grin ghoulishly, enjoying the fear they radiated. He had a thought just before leaving that caused him to turn around suddenly, enter the ethereal plane and ghost his way to the newest capture's holding cell. He rejoined the land of the physical outside the demon's cell, ignoring the dying man on the ground.

"Hello Jay. I have some questions for you..." A brilliant white smile cracked his dark face and the other guards that hadn't retreated from the monster's sudden appearance backed off slowly. They all knew the rumours of Gha'aru's temper.

Jay looked over at the man with his ruby red eyes emitting out from the darkness and from behind his hair. " I won't answer anything....You try and open that door and I will blow your head clear off." He watched the door closesly as to make sure no one entered. Jay got to his feet and moved closer to the door, he showed no emotion as he spoke. " What questions would you ask a demon? If you institute dogs have questions for me then I will answer only to that girl who had betrayed me...." He slammed his left fist into the metal wall creating large dent in it. " If you are going to ask me about where my altered friends have gone I won't tell you...." Jay moved away from the door and sat back down against the metal waiting and watching.

Elva smirked at Grave's display of power. Cool looking, but really rather pointless. There's a HQ about a quarter mile from here. I wouldn't trust many of the hospitals around here. They've been known to turn people over to the Institute, usually escaped Altered. Even if the hospitals weren't untrustworthy, the nearest one was about a mile away. And with all the civilian panic, they'd have one hell of a time getting to it. Either way, Retribution tried to keep it's medical facilities up to hospital standards. They just had trouble getting things like Ultra-sound machines, and those things you use for cat scans.
((Question- Who said "Shut up! GRAAAARG", and should everyone else be able to hear them? If so, I'll edit my post to include some surprise and confusion.))  

[XSenkoX]

((No, you're good. No one other than Jek can hear Lost Home, of course, I'm not sure how that works with telepaths. I wouldn't want to try it. I'll make postage here soon))
