// ...oh good gravy. Now I'm curious. //
Without notifying the other woman, or the young girls, Xion picked up the unconscious man, and vanished from the room. When he reappeared, he was inside the heavily guarded room the Reaper clone was inside. Fully visible, along with his captive.
The blond woman glanced over at the screen, and her eyes widened a bit. "Well...that was fast. I didn't think that he had left." she mumbled to herself as she watched the screen.
The lanky black cat hopped up onto the computer stand and took a seat near the end of it. His large amber eyes fixated on the room as well.
Xion carried Reaper over to his double, then placed him on the table over top of the double. Reapers body sank into the other, as if he were an astral form rather than flesh and blood. Once Reaper was in once piece again, the small computer beside them sparked to life. A new update....project was now 37 percent complete. Shadows from within the hall zipped under the doorway and enveloped Reaper's body. More clones now rounded up and placed back into one body. Project now 47 percent complete.

((Oh, don't worry too much about the second thing. It'll make you laugh more than anything else. I am a little worried about how X will react, though; it might not bring out the best in him. ))

// XP You won't like him when he's mad. He'll start blowing stuff up in the lab, then chow down on peanuts to try and calm down. //
Xion looked down at the man, then moved to check on the tubes attatched to his chest. Still tightly in place, sitting nicely in his heart. Should help ensure that he would stay still if he did wake up...and keep anyone from just ripping him out of the project like the last girl. From there his eyes followed ones leading from his chest and head, into the large metal box in the wall behind him. He walked over to it, checking to make sure it was securely locked up as well. The Black Mercy plant was not something he wanted to have to deal with growing about the lab or anything. And, honestly it was probably the only thing keeping Reaper comatose right now. He could fight past the drugs if he realized he was in a laboratory. Adrenaline, fear, and rage would make sure he stayed awake. But...living in a perfect little world...why would he ever want to leave that.
Certain that everything was in order, Xion simply vanished.

((Oh, it won't bring out the worst in him like THAT. Okay, look. Do the words "Ultimate" and "Strange" mean anything to you in combination?))
About a minute later, the whole underground lab shook, enough to shake good sized chunks of concrete loose from the walls, and every computer in the place abruptly went blank. About ten seconds after that, there was another earth shattering explosion, and the power went out completely. All the machines in the place, including the ones pumping drugs into patients, stopped completely. Noticing the shutdown, all of the security doors in the place immediately went into lockdown, trapping people on whichever side of the door they happened to be on.
((Plastic explosives FTW!!!))

// Oh good g.... * facepalm * lol...well, on the bright side, Edel would approve. //
Charlamagne was still in the hallway, trying to round all of the little Rosie's back into their rooms. A few terrified squeels rang out of the rooms as the building shook and everything went dark. With two little redheads wrapped around her legs, Charlot stared with wide-eyes down the dark hall.
What the hell...?
"What the bloody hell?!" the blond woman hissed, trying to get back onto her feet. Blast had knocked her over, as well as the two Rosies still in the room. The security was out. Doors were locked. Power was out. That meant it was the same for the entire building. And it meant the backups had been knocked out as well. Not. Good. She couldn't see what was happening, she couldn't get out of here to do anything without the power being on. The Blood beings would be antsy now, and there was no telling what they would do if they managed to break the door down. Same thing for Octavious. The metal doors weren't much of an obstacle for him.
In contrast to the woman's scowl, the black cat still sitting comfortably on the edge of the computer was smiling as wide as he could. Sooooo entertaining.
"Rosie, there should be enough of a gap under the door for you to get out. It's locked, not sealed. Try to get the back ups going, or find someone who can." she growled.
"Kay." Rosie replied rather shakily. With that, Rosie's entire being became inky and black. She slipped into a puddle on the floor and under the door.
Down the hall, a woman with short blond hair and green eyes walked rather unphased by the disaster that had just happened.
// Class. Back in a while. //

Unfortunately, the backup generators had been taken out completely at the exact same time as the main one. Whoever had done this, they had obviously used a detonator... if that hadn't already been clear from how close together the blasts had been.

The Inque-powered Rosie reformed herself outside the now destroyed generator room, after having sliding around the room just to make sure. She took another glance inside, then turned her attention back about the halls.
Great. Now what was she supposed to do? Nobody was going to be able to fix this. Other than Xion or that cat. The cat seemed far too interested in what was going on right now...so asking him to help was probably wasting her breath.
"Xion?" she called out experimentally.
Nothing. Giving a little sigh, she started walking back down the halls.
The short haired woman continued down the hall as far as she could, and stopped in front of a rather heavily bolted door. She was supposed to be checking up on Michael. But since the doors wouldn't open, this would put her work back quite a bit. With a bit of a shrug, she turned and leaned against the wall to wait for everything to become unlocked again. She couldn't do much of anything else.

From behind the woman, a deadly soft, female voice purred, "Don't move, please. I'd hate to blow your head off over an innocent misunderstanding." Despite the words, the voice didn't sound as though it particularly cared, one way or another; it was very cold, but no less furious for the chill.

The woman froze for a moment. That wasn't any voice she recognized, and it certainly wasn't friendly. "Well..." she sighed. "Today just gets better and better." It didn't sound as though she cared about the threat one way or the other either. "I must say that would certainly be the highlight to my week."

"Glad to have helped," the voice told her smoothly, and then something connected with the back of her head, hard enough to knock her out.

The woman jerked forward with a grunt, then collapsed to the ground. Unlike many of the others running around the building, she was pretty much only human. A few noticeable differences if she didn't have her make up on...but still just human.

The owner of the voice smiled grimly and dragged the woman away by about thirty or so feet. About a minute later, another series of explosions rocked the base; the one situated around the door to Reaper's containment room was just one more out of many. The doors to the Spider Exhibit were also effected, along with most of the experimentation rooms and two of the elevators.

// She is most definitely ticked. Boss lady's gonna want to kill her. XP Love how you brought in Ult. Strange btw. //
Allure gripped the computer stand again as more explosions rocked the security room. Once they were over...for the moment...she flipped her long blond hair back and bared her teeth at the blank screens. Sharp, bladed teeth.
"Xion!! Where the Hell are you!?" she roared.
"No need to shout." a voice replied from the doorway.
Allure spun around and glared at him. "What the **** is going on! Why aren't you doing anything?!"
"Well...I was going to set out to capture the telepath as you wanted." the dark clothed being replied.
"I'd say this has a considerable higher rank of importance." she growled, the roots of her blond hair beginning to turn a magenta hue. "What is going ON out there?!"
"It seems there is someone planting explosives about the building. Around the doors. The hallway to Reaper's room is now open. Along with a few of the other experiment labs. The generator is destroyed, along with the elevators. The girl with the Inque based powers is out in the halls....Octavious has gotten fed up and destroyed his own door and is now roaming what halls he can. And Rapture...is trying to find Reaper's area."
Allure slammed her fist down into the control panel. Bright red armor and claws now wrapped around the discolored flesh. "Damn it! Stop him! If HE gets into Reaper's room, then the explosions are going to be the LEAST of ANYONE'S problems. We're trapped in here!"

((Wait until they figure out that all their data is gone, too, AND the power outage means that the power-stealing process has stopped. With Jessica, that meant that they would have had to start all over again, from 0%. Yes, indeed; Cat knows exactly how to break stuff. ^^
And thanks! He's... a little shell shocked. Okay, a lot shell shocked. Drowning will do that to a person.
... Wait... RAPTURE?! O.o And now angry but practical Cat goes evolves into absolutely nutso Cat.))
Once inside, the still invisible Cat took a careful look around, deciding what needed priority. She didn't think she had the medical expertise to get rid of all the tubes that were coming out of him... But that one originating from the locked metal box looked pretty important. Coolly, she rimmed the box generously with the last of her C4, moved into an obliging corner, and pressed the button.

/// ....Allure's gonna kill her. No way around it now. That is if Reaper doesn't wake up first.
Hey, at least you didn't bring him in after the drowning. * shivers *
.... should that destroy the plant as well? Or just break the box completely so it's open to do whatever? Either way, It should call for a peek of Reaper's dreamland. Which will have to get done after class. UGH. Getting so good.... ////
