"We're not quite out of the thick of things yet. We still need to make it off the property." Henry started walking forward. He made it through the wall, he could make it through the fence too, right?
-----------------------------------
There was no answer from Crystal, who was still under the hand of the Sentinel.

Amber shrugged looking around. It seemed as though only her and Bobby were left. The other 3 girls left with the doctor that was working at the base so she wavered a little bit.
"I think we should go. Don't you?"
She said with a delighted and enthusiastic tone. Ready to go on an adventure. She really wanted to see some heroes too after all and they would recruit these kids she was sure of it. Amber flew through one of the doors over the head of several talons to escape busting through a door as she carried Bobby.
Rose Summers lashed out at the doctor as he phased through the wall and lashed out repeatedly toward it to capture the girls. She was too careful not to hurt them and hesitant that she couldn't successfully stop them. Rose gritted her teeth a little and walked towards the wall hitting it before looking back to Jack summers in her suit.
"The girls are our priority. Amber will not let Bobby get away."
Although Rose was banking on using Amber whether she escaped with the teens or not to capture them. If they left now they could capture them with the heroes too. She almost wished the heroes would show so that they could take the teens in as bate for them to come in the future. Her husband probably thought along the same longs. And as soon as Amber left she walked over to her husband stopping him.
"This can work to our advantage in the near future as long as we don't let it get out of hand. We need to go to another place right now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rainmaker looked around as they got outside of the building to the open air. She held her wrists out.
"Can you phase these bands off?"
She tilted her head. It would be the most important thing now if they wanted to escape. She could call forth rain or at least control the nearby water in order to aid in their escape.
"We need to find a vehicle, and get out of here. And there is no time for goofing around."
Roxy was already anticipating freedom.

  Threshold was being tended to by a medic, when the I.O. mentalist tapped his comm, "Dr. Summers? Are you thinking about using using those kids to ferret out the Titans and the other heroes? That... could work. Perhaps we could... errrrgh!" Matthew glares at the medic who shrugs, "Sorry Sir."Threshold though he was annoyed simply rolled his eyes, as he continued his thought, "Perhaps we can trace them back to whatever base they're actually using. Ivana? Are you keyed in?"
"No Matthew, I'm a bit busy down here. It seems that Gatorman has returned. He just knocked down three Sentinels, and it appears that he has brought some help. So a little aid might be in order."............. After releasing the switch on her comm, Ivana could still hear transmissions as she turned to view Arell gunning down several Black Talons. The I.O. director breathed a long exasperated sigh, straining the limits of her tight black dress, "When you want to something done right...." More guards swarmed in at Arell with guns blazing (18 gunmen at the moment with hints of more swarming to the sight of the incident). Ivana strode through the chaos completely unfazed by any of the gunfire around her. Dark eyes had zeroed in on a prone form of a girl with cat ears and long dark tresses pinned under the hand of a Sentinel, "Well, well, well, if it isn't the stray cat from Gotham. How nice."With unusual strength and speed, Ivana moved over to the Sentinel hand over Catgirl, and tosses it aside as if the heavy construct was nothing to the I.O. director. She then scooped up the unconscious Catgirl. Holding Crystal with one arm, Ivana pulls out a small blaster pistol and holds it to the heroine's temple, "Mr. L'Amour! You will stop tearing up my base, OR I blast a hole through both of her frontal lobes!"

Meanwhile . . . Dundee had finally cracked into the I.O. database. After shutting down the weapons systems, he decided to have a little fun. After successfully hacking their website as well, he smiled and put the laptop up. Well, now that the official damage is done, I should get some reinforcements. he thought . . . casually activating one little device that BOTH he and the writer keep forgetting he has.
That little communicator sure helps.
Turning it on, he hoped the frequency would cut through. "Calling all heroes . . . Dun' here. I shut down the computerized defense system at I.O. . . . come on by. Sounds like Arell's makin' a great time smashin' up the place in there!" he mentioned . . . around that time, the racket stopped. Uh . . . oh . . . may have spoken too soon! he thought.
Meanwhile, Arell whirled around, drew and aimed HIS pistol at Ivanna's head. "You . . . even DARE . . . and I will blow your head to BITS, b***h. Now shut down and let 'em go, or I swear to GOD I will kill YOU, Jack and Rose Summers, and every last ******** piece of s**t that happens to work in this godforsaken hellhole." he growled, the hammer pulled back . . . Ivanna even MOVED and Arell would let her have it. At this rate, his anger was so intense that he seemed calm . . . his eyes rather reptilian . . . it was clear that Arell was going to be taking some assholes down with him.
One of the mooks tried to get close enough to disarm Arell, but the big Cajun must have sensed the movement, pulling out his OTHER pistol and shooting the guy IN THE HEAD without as much as moving eye contact away from Ivanna.
Meanwhile, down below, Bobby smirked. "I agree. But I gotta do one more thing." he said before firing up another stream of fire on the floor . . . writing "BURNOUT WAS HERE" in fire on the floor beneath them. "Okay, let's get outta here . . . " he mentioned.

As Crystal came to she quickly realized her situation was grim. This realization was fortified by a man shooting an obvious mook in the head. She stayed still other than her tail that ran up her body and into one of her pockets to grab a kunai out of her pocket. Then, in an instant she pulled herself downwards, hoping to get out of the woman's grasp, and tried to stab that kunai into Ivana's leg with her tail at the same time.
------------------------
Henry looked to the girls. "We'll have to go around to get to a vehicle." His eyes focused on the bands. "I could try..."
Henry placed his hands on the bands and concentrated, but instead of just the bands he turned Rainmaker ethereal with them. "Um... Apparently I don't have that much control yet... I'm still getting used to the powers." He and Rainmaker went back solid.

Ivana had a not a pained look, but simply one of surprise by Catgirl's sudden attack on her thigh. Ivana makes a disgusted gasp, as she let go of the feline thief to remove the kunai. Crystal couldn't help but to hear a sound that sounded something like either ratcheting or a gear whirl. Ivana lurched sideways a step or two to regain her balance, then leveled her high tech blaster directly at Catgirl -- somehow keeping track of her movements. The exposed wound on Ivana's thigh now clearly showed some sort of machinery underneath. Ivana's dark eyes narrow in a cold fury, "You just made a big mistake, Pussycat!" Ivana Baiul fired off a tight grouping of three shots directly at Catgirl.
................................
"Hey Doc. What about one of those semis near the dock over there," Caitlin adjusted the grip on her tentative towel cover and pointed with her other hand in the direction of docking bays for truck deliveries by 'U.S. Trucks'....

Which turned out to be HER grave mistake. Arell charged Ivanna, more than prepared to take down Ivana with a flying tackle, opting out of trying to ventilate the I.O. honcho in a hail of bullets. However, as soon as he launched himself in midair, he let his rage take over . . . causing him to go gator while flying at Ivana.
Meanwhile outside, Dundee noticed his unfortunate flaw . . . he let the batteries die in his communicator! s**t!! he thought. With no backup plan, he was a sitting duck if they found him hacking into their weapons system!

Crystal pulled her trench coat around her and over her face as she jumped backwards to try and protect herself. Once of the blasts hit her, throwing her backwards further and onto her back. "Ow! ******** hell!"
She stood back up, a hole burned through not only the jacket, but her shirt as well. The nice sized hole showed the steel plating that lined the more vulnerable places on her body and a rather nasty burn on her side. She quickly checked the pockets around the hole and sighed in relief. The blast missed her computer.
She then growled and pulled out a gun from the other side of her coat. "Wanna play that game, do ya?!" As she looked over to Ivana to aim the gun she noticed the gator man that had attacked her. She carefully aimed the gun and shot. She knew she was going to miss mister alligator, but she wasn't sure she was going to hit the mechanical woman.
Henry looked back at the bay and face palmed. He had completely forgotten about that. "Sounds like a plan." He started ushering the girls in that direction, making sure to keep the rear. He wasn't going to let them get taken. They'd have to kill him first.
Once they were at the trucks he tried to unhitch one of them from it's cab. When it was apparent that he didn't have the physical strength to get it loose, he grabbed the piece tight and concentrated real hard. After a few moments only that one piece phased with him and the hitch fell apart.
Henry blinked and looked at the piece in his hands as he returned solid. He then looked back to the others. "Want me to try again on those bands? We might only have time to get it off one of you."

Rainmaker held her hands out to the doctor as they stopped.
"I'll help us get out of here and I think I have a greater grip on how to use my powers. Please, try."
She was ready for him to remove the damned bands off of her wrists. The moment they were gone she planned on flooding the path behind them with the water from the building and charging it in case any IO goons wanted to chase them.
Roxy got near the truck.
"And I'm driving. We need to leave, asap so do whatever your going to do with Sarah k?"
She picked the truck with a clip she had and opened it up getting it hot-wired to leave.
Jack didn't answer in the back of his link and instead proceeded to leave the building with Rose. They planned for this and placed a tracer inside Redstar. A tracer that she would not care to find if she ever thought to get a scan at all. The tracer was implanted in case of something like this happening and could only be activated for short periods of time and only charged so often.
"Let's get the kids upstairs with this tech remote controlled and leave for the Wayne Manor once this place is contained. I think the gator will pay for what he's done to Kane."
Rose said with a small hint of menace.
"Agreed. We'll keep him locked down tight till we figure a way to use Kane Rocknell's research to something with him"
They both reached an interior lab removing their suits and setting some weapons to remote control on previous models of tech they had. Readying themselves for long distance combat lead by Rose summers they headed to the roof tops outside.
Rose shot off a dart from her tranq gun hitting Arell. The tranquilizer was enough to put out 2 elephants and would be more than enough to somewhat quickly send this gator reeling into a nice quiet coma where they could more easily control him. With a few more shots from her well hidden edge on the roof top she grazed Crystal and Bobby.
Amber was leaving with bobby when he had been grazed. Her first reaction was to burn the site a little to keep the tranquilizer from spreading. She glared at up to the roof before picking up Bobby. She spotted the open hanger door to the semi's and headed for it with her friend.
"My parents tranqs can't pierce trucks! I want out ASAP. Is that okay with you hot stuff?"
((Meh, how was that... couldn't think of much but let's see how this works. All is well in the world of I.O. MahoHaku is trying to make a recover. **Awarded the "you attempted" Star**))

((Hitting Arell with a tranq while he's on a berserker-style rampage?? You REALLY think I'm gonna let him end THAT easily? *laughing maniacally* You'd be better off trying to kill him!))
If only that tranquilizer worked. The needle stuck out, but Arell was in a blind rage attacking Ivanna that the tranq had little to no effect . . . if anything, the dart made it worse . . . causing Arell's gator form to pair up with the human side, getting him up on his two feet. The giant gator-human hybrid looked Jack and Rose square in the face, getting off from Ivanna, pulling out the needle out of his near-bulletproof skin and crushing the dart in his clawed hand. "Nice try, ******** . . . " he growled. lumbering his way back over to Ivanna . . . these people were at the TOP of his s**t list. The best thing they could hope for is something or someONE got his attention off of attacking that infernal hellhole.
Meanwhile, Bobby felt the dart graze and ricochet off a nearby truck. "Are you SERIOUS?! That crazy b***h tried to shoot us!!! Let's get the ******** outta here!!" he yelped before letting loose a BIG fireball back the direction of the tranq bolt. Diving for the nearest available semi, he wrenched the driver's side door open and got in.
Meanwhile, Dundee managed to stay hidden . . . however, that look on his face meant that . . . while he DIDN'T have complete control of the weapons system . . . he found a way to remotely hotwire the targeting system! This oughta get Arell some cover. he thought as he typed it in . . . using the security cameras to lock down on the doctors inside. "You can run, but you can't hide." he chuckled as he followed them on various cameras to the outside . . . where GPS surveillance took over. Now, how do I stop THESE two . . . wait, got an idea!! he thought, sending an alert to arm one of the Surface-to-air missile pods, preparing one to aim for the roof. "Aim . . ." he said . . . typing in code after code. At last, some of this computer stuff he learned was paying off! "Mark . . ." he said, final preparations before he put in the last code. One keystroke away from the figurative Calvary coming . . . unaware that the X-Men were on their way.
"FI- HUH?!?" Dun' yelped. s**t!!! His computer suddenly had a pop-up for . . . cupcakes? What the hell did THAT have to do with this?! He had a crisis on his hands!! Trying to get it to click away . . . he struggled for a good five minutes, hearing the tranq guns firing off, he slunk into a corner . . . a good blind spot away from this. C'mon you stupid little . . . ! he thought as he FINALLY managed to get it away. Then he finally hit the spacebar. "FIRE!!" he yelped.
. . . only nothing happened. Little did he know that the one he tapped into was EMPTY! Then he looked up and saw it . . . yup. Empty. Keeping low he ran over to that defense grid, keeping low to keep cover. If he could JUST get things right ONCE. Dammit! I had ONE job. ONE!! Can't stop the ******** psychopaths if it keeps ******** UP!! he thought as he scrambled over. He was gonna have to use some strategy in order to get this to work.

As Ivana backed away and to the side of Arell, Crystal's shot struck the I.O. director's hand tearing away at most of the 'skin' covering the metallic hand. Ivana snarls in venom-filled anger, "You miserable wretches!!! Look what you did!?!? And I just got these nails done!!!" Seeing Arell lumbering toward her in the corner of her eye, Ivana turned her attention away from Catgirl to the fully transformed Gatorman! Metallic fingers extend outward into long tentacles launching at Arell. Titanium molecular blades slice at Gatorman attempting to take a chunk out of the lycanthrope. While the titanium steel mix wasn't adamantium ... it wasn't far off being one step below in tensile strength and durablity. In the shadows where Dundee attempted to continue to use I.O.'s resources against the shadowy organization, the hacker suddenly heard the unmistakable click of an automatic weapon right behind his ear. Then Dundee heard Daedalus' voice chuckle, "You were just where Jimmy said you'd be. Don't try anything stupid, no one is that fast. Now then, put your hands on top of your head and lace your fingers.".............................. All of the defenses on the side of the base where the semis where were still going hayware -- firing up in the air at .... nothing. Caitlin shook her head at the odd sight, then when her gaze drifted down to near the docks around them -- the amazonian redhead saw that most of the regular personnel are running for their lives. Glancing at the truck that Roxy was hot-wiring, Caitlin climbed inside with her towel slipping as she entered the vehicle blushing furiously on her face and shoulders, "Considering I'm basically nude, I'll just... crawl into the mattress here in the back of the cab. Okay?"Swamp-Surfer I think someone is getting captured .... again. Crystal Lasill And I think Catgirl may end up being a 'guest' too. MahoHaku Maybe this will be incentive for a few things. twisted At the very least, a hasty exit.

((One is, the other isn't. Half and half, just like I planned . . . sort of.))
Arell saw the tentacles flying at him, and he proved he was fast as he was big. Dodging low, he charged the I.O. operative coming up low for an uppercut to Ivana's jaw. It may have been futile to believe, but he wasn't leaving until I.O. got it! Claws . . . she has CLAWS?!? I need to use the guns! Get back! I'll open fire and blow her brains out!! the human side thought as the Gator intervened.
NO!! We suffered through her together. We're taking her out together. RIGHT HERE! Haven't you wanted to kill a b*****d with your bare hands? the Gator side asked as Arell's human side looked on inside the Cajun gator's mind.
NO! You're INSANE!!! She's METALLIC!! We're gonna wind up dying FIRST! he thought.
Meanwhile outside . . .
Dundee noticed he had been caught. "AK-47? You do realize you're part of the AMERICANS, right? Even if you ARE Technically shitheads." Dun' said nonchalantly, and with a few more keystrokes, managed to open the cell doors, calmly close his laptop and put his hands behind his head. "Ok, a*****e, take me away. My big brother'll find out . . . and he shoots to KILL." he said . . . hoping that he'd keep the nonchalant ruse going.

Henry took a firm grip on the bands around Rainmaker's wrists, this time he turned the items ethereal with him with little effort. Rainmaker was free. He then turned back solid and gave the girls a thumbs up. "I'll catch up with you. I have to make sure these idiots don't catch you."
He then pulled his tablet out of his pocket and turned around, going back ethereal. He was going to give these girls a good head start, even if it killed him. His eyes went blank as different things started flashing across the screen of the tablet. He was linked up with his computer mentally and had complete access to everything on the base within a matter of minutes. He then noticed an outside interface and his face appeared on Dundee's computer. Using the camera on it to see who was using it, he noticed the man had a gun and Daedalus ready to shoot behind him, right before Dun shut the thing.
He analyzed Dun's computer and what he was attempting to do. "Oh dear." His voice sounded out from the computer. "Were you going to kill us all in your attempt to... What ever it was you were attempting to do?" That's when the automatic defense system kicked back on, taking aim at the I.O. employees. "Daedalus, I'll give you till 'fire' to remove that gun from the poor man." No one had ever head Henry be so serious. The typically shy, nervous, young man was now standing his ground and taking action.
--------------
Crystal growled. That gatorman was trying to protect her, she wasn't about to let this cyborg take him out. She pulled out a kunai and threw it at Ivana. When it made contact to anything it sparked, sending somewhere around a thousand volts into what ever it hit. It was one of her few kunai that was actually deadly.
She then followed that up with an explosive kunai for extra measure. "b***h! You just messed with the wrong cat!" She then made the sign for 'I love you' and stuck her tongue out with her mouth opened wide for a moment, taking inspiration from Grell from Black Butler.

As I.O. personnel ran for cover from the automatic defenses of the base, Daedalus calmly glanced at the wall mounted gun aimed at him. An weary sigh escaped his lips, as he turned his direction toward Dr. Willowfield on Dundee's computer screen and replied in a cold flat tome, "Very well, Doctor. King's to you this day. Be seeing you..." With a hint of a predatory smile, the Stonewall assassin fades back into the shadows and disappears. Ivana begins to lunge at Gatorman; however, Crystal's aim is true. The explosion from the kunai knocks the cyborg sideways into a mass of guards. With their own defenses beginning to fire down at the I.O. personnel, the Black Talons fall back taking Ivana with them. Even with everything going haywire, it was only a matter of time before Jimmy Zorn and other techs would be able to stop the external control of the automated defenses. (i.e. This is a perfect time for EVERYONE to escape, so that I can ACTUALLY enact the day's time skip so that we can have the big battles planned.... and end the long wait for everyone involved. So please do, otherwise those heroes that remain will be captured with impaired health -- no ifs, no ands, and no buts. emotion_donotwant To those who do not heed this warning, will be receiving 'DiNozzo head-slaps' to all of their characters. Got it?)

Smirking at the defense mechanisms now turning in their favor, Arell smirked as he reverted back to human form, watching the Black Talons retreat like a pack of scalded hounds. "An' DON'T LEMME CATCH Y'ALL ********' ABOUT AGAIN!!!" he growled as he walked over to Crystal. "C'mon, che'! We'd better get outta here!!" he said as he took his time getting out, careful to loot the dead agents for ammo and light a smoke, casually humming like this was a recurring basis . . . then again, this IS Arell. This is his job.
Of course, Dun' had to intervene, contacting Arell through their computers.
"Well, I think that's that, Arell. Let's get the ******** outta here!!" Dundee said as he got around to the main entrance, looking through that hole as Arell scrambled out, waving for Crystal to come through. "You got all THAT out of your system, bro?" Dun' asked as Arell shrugged.
"Rest of 'em rabbited 'fore I could get 'em. Kinda wish I got t' blow a hole in Dr. Summers, but eh, I'll live. Thanks fer de backup in dere. I dunno what I'd do without cha'." Arell said, ruffling his younger stepbrother's hair as Dundee smirked.
"Probably die. Now c'mon! Let's get outta here so the REAL supers can do their thang." he said as he looked at the place. With all the defense armaments laying down a layer of whupass, he was a little nervous that they wouldn't have a whole lot of work to do at the end of the day.
