Dundee smirked. "Complicated?" he asked. "Don't mean to brag, but when Arell lost sight in one eye, I designed a special computer to replicate vision, as well as put in a tactical heads-up display. May be a clumsy oaf in Arell's kinda way of handlin' thangs, but put me in front of a computer, and I could make 747s do backflips." he said. He did acknowledge her when her reasons mattered to her, but kept it as a silent nod as Arell looked at them.
"Ugh . . . I either was drunk or it got in control again." he said with a smirk as he onced-over himself again. Okay, gunshot wound was good, he took care of that . . . but it was gonna be sore for a while. Then the other blood . . . oy. THIS was gonna be hard to explain to Crystal!

((Exit Kai, Dundee and Arell to Las Vegas via IO military truck))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amber looked to the small girl and then rolled her eyes.
"I legitimately don't know why you guys are here other than the fact that you all may have powers... which means lots of fun for me if you all do and we can go out and do stuff for I.O. instead of being locked up in this boring place."
"I find that this place is less boring and more of a pain then you Amber. I don't know, I would like to leave and never come back. I.O. needs no help from kids like us without getting us killed in the process."
Rainmaker glared at Amber, her nonchalant apathetic and selfish attitude was getting on her nerves. Was this girl really that naive to the workings of this place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Summers helped her husband up to his feet where he seemed fairly unscaved by the boy other than having a bruised throat and a dry voice. He was used to getting beat around long before this boy was born as far as he was concerned and by kids who were even bigger.
"I'll go to the lab and prepare some weapons for the assault. You should go let Ivana know where our next target is."
Rose Nodded to her husband and headed upstairs with him, parting at the top. She continued towards Ivana's office when she saw the mess that Kane had become. Her face filled with confusion, and misunderstanding at how that could happen. And a few tears came from her eyes, something... she wasn't used to any emotions what so ever so this only made her feel in the wrong.
"Kai is playing the killing game with her friends now... two can play this game."
Rose said with an amount of distaste and shallow anger. She set down a badge that used to belong to her gone intern next to Kane. She walked upright and quickly to Ivana's office after a quick moment to him. Every step motioned her disgust in some way. She walked into Ivana's office seeing both her boss and what appeared to be another new Scientist.
"Ivana, a moment of your time."

 "Yeah. Maybe. If we don't center our weight, otherwise we'll just crash down." Nat glanced upwards to the vent. It wouldn't take much to knock it down. Not much at all. And a simple pull up could get her in there. "I'll test it out. No issue with falling to my face at all..."
Jumping, her fingertips caught on the vent. She pulled hard, landing to the ground with a soft thump, vent in hand. Placing it in a stall, Nathalia returned to the opening and bent her knees. Leaping upward, she let her hands catch in the gaping mouth of the vents. Nat winced as her sore muscles tugged her upwards and into the vent.
Inside was dark and dusty, and she held back a sneeze. But the vents were not creaking and she hand about an inch of space on either side of her. "I think we're good."she called, wriggling forward in an army crawl and waiting for Rachel to catch up.

Rachel climbed up after Nathalia holding the vent cover under one arm. After some difficulty, The blonde maneuvered herself sliding backwards inside the vent to get the vent cover where she wanted it, "There... no need for us to be too obvious with our escape plan." Rachel then set to follow Nat... occasionally getting her slightly damp top from catching on the inside of the dusty vent shaft.
...............................
Ivana was going to ask Henry what was wrong, when he handed her the manacles; however, Rose came to get her attention, "Yes, Dr. Summers, how can I help you?"

"Ivana, Our Meta-humans are hiding at the Wayne Manor in Gotham. And in the lower parts also known as 'The Cave'. I suggest we attack after we get these kids squared away. The trio that escaped killed our new intern, who passed on the message of the hidden base. Also, we need to keep the escape plan on the down low, we want no super hackers alarming our targets to flee their little rabbit hole."
Rose kept a very determined and professional look about her. By this point she wasn't entirely upset about Kane's death but she would still avenge him all the same. If all of Kai's friends were hiding at this manor then it would be perfect revenge for her actions. Capturing all her friends, and making sure they never leave this base again. Only allowed to see the light of day once they are under complete control of I.O.

"See her, Writer?"
Yeah . . . ?
"I don't like her . . . I want to pet her . . . on the head . . . very hard with a brick!"
C.J., you know better than that. IO creeps are hard-headed assholes. Get something harder!
"Iron bar? Sledgehammer? 50 Cent?!"
Yes! Drop 50 Cent on her!!!
"Good idea. Now get back on the other side of the fourth wall!!!"

Ivana nodded while guiding Rose into her office, "That does support what we have already learned. One of Bruce Wayne's wards is apparently Nightwing. Even if it turns out that Wayne isn't the Batman... He has to be involved. While I myself do not know much about Wayne, I did recognize his butler, Alfred Pennyworth -- when I saw his file. Pennyworth used to work for MI-6 and had a rather storied career there before he accepted his post with the Wayne family.
"Anyway, I'll set up a strike immediately. I do have a question, is Redfire ready, or does she need more training? I heard about the difficulty you had earlier.""

"Redfire should be ready. But in case we should send talons to assist her. My husband is whipping together some weapons that are perfect for fighting meta-humans. Come in silent, then hit hard once they are cornered without communication to the outside world. My husband will stay back and I will take part to insure that Redfire sticks to plan. If all goes well, IO will have a handful of new heroes in our hands, and eventually under our control, or at least disposed of after a point if it isn't an option."
Rose followed Ivana into her office. It was obvious that Rose was willing to put in all of her battle expertise and will into taking down these so called 'good-doers'. They had struck a last nerve with her, and not only that... she didn't like feeling defeated and couldn't stand losing. Inside she was tense, her body ready to fight now, her heart filled with malice wanting to get going now.
"Ma'am, a day for preparation. Tomorrow we head to Gotham and take down everything these heroes stand for. Maybe we can draw more out, maybe we can make an example but at least it is something done with these freaks who keep interfering with our plans and my hard work."
She was now crushing the pen she held in her hand after she pulled it out with her clipboard before reaching Ivana's office.

"Rose, you really are a woman after my own heart. And speaking of preparation, I have something to show you," Ivana moved over to her desk and brought up a file displaying pictures, schematics, and data on a battlesuit. The raven-tressed I.O. director turned the screen to show Rose Summers the Titanium Man armor, "We recently acquired this from our Russian friends from the other world. It's a fairly rugged and older powered armor, but it is extremely powerful. Some of my techs estimate that one could even go toe-to-toe with the Kryptonian using this suit. Look it over and tell me what you think."

"Great idea. Let's get moving." Nathalia began the crawling it would take to get out of what had become a hell hole. The dust was starting to collect and her nose felt like it was plugged by cotton. She held back a sneeze and took the next left. The entrance had to be a good two minutes of crawling away. So far the vents had held their weight. If the girls fell, they were screwed.

As the potential escapees carefully crawl through the vent shaft. Crossing into the next room, Nathalia could see some of the guards wheeling empty tubes that are roughly human sized off the lift onto their floor...

"Goddamn.." A hiss escaped her lips. Those barrels did not look like they were carrying cotton candy. Nat moved faster, crawling and making what she was sure were amusing faces. The whole thing could have been funny. If you had a sick sense of humor. "We really gotta book it Rach. They're getting something ready down there."

Rose tapped on the keyboard pulling it towards herself and looked through the data and then glanced up to Ivana.
"It's perfect. I guess my husband may participate after all."
The woman made no comment to Ivana otherwise. It was true that they did think a lot alike but all Rose really cared about was her own agenda and whoever funded it would have to come second. In this case, if IO was funding her projects and helping her capture these heroes she would have to put them carefully into her work.
"I will let my husband know about the suit and help him in preparation. And I suggest you get someone on cleaning up the fatality of this recent escape. I'm not being paid enough to do that particular job."

 The waves from the voices of the girls traveled through vents even though they were very silently, but his enhanced hearing could picked them up for the most part as whispers. For the most part, it sounded reckless. Though, he figured it was worth it, if he helped them or got away with them. Hearing the voices of the guards, he jumped to roof, his gloves already on his hands as he stuck to the roof. Pushing the panel upwards, the screws popped at the strain from his strength as he slid upwards into shaft. The shaft seemed to be stronger then it felt, due to the fact, it hardly cringed under his own weight. He wasn't too far away from them, so it'd take him a good 30 seconds to reach them, but, from hearing the conversation through the bouncing sound waves that made it too his location, despite how weak they were. They might need some help if they were going to escape. His skills and abilities would give him a slight edge over them.
