Host-Agent R's dark chuckle was all the answer Helena needed.
"Not much longer now," he said, cocking his head. "Someone is coming."

The sudden realization of this, Someone is coming grabbed his attention. He slowly looked around the room, putting the others out of his sight for the moment. He continued to remained quiet, listening, waiting.

The hunger.
"I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about."
The limbs in the truck.
The blackout.
The failure of denial.
Well, s**t.
"I... we should go. We should go, now," Elizabeth hissed.

Clarissa clenched her hands tightly in order to prevent smacking Agent R in the face again. It's a disease. It can't be reversed. WHAT ELSE IS THERE?! The most important thing to her was to learn how to control it. She knew of the Hunger...My family had to pay the price for it. She'd do anything to learn how to control it.
Wait, something else was bothering her. "We have people who care for us...how was it that you were able to take us away to experiment without having anyone alert authorities of us missing?" As much as her family disliked her, she knew they'd have at least tried searching for her. Regardless of her lost memories, there were too many people who might have known about their disappearance to delete the memories of.

"Keep it open, and... Kevin, Tanya, Michael, George! Stay here and deal with these freaks! Michelle, Lionel, let's go!" Lizzie called over the remaining noise. The four assigned to the task of holding back the other two stayed, the three not so charged through the door. Lionel led the way, sword leveled for a rapid thrust.
As they came through the door, The Thief looked up and blanched. The hand of color released Agent R's legs and shot forward in a fist towards Lionel, who did an amazingly quick roll underneath it. Lizzie jumped upwards, then... planted a blade of energy into the colored hand. The Thief twitched and the hand began pulling her towards him - apparently what she wanted.
The girl with the blonde hair, apparently called Michelle, more or less walked casually to the hand of stone, pushing those in her way gently out of it. Once there, she suddenly lifted a fist and smashed it down on the hand. It splintered but did not give.
---
Lance gave out a shout. "Hey! They're... they're letting him go!" He jumped forward at the girl, slashing downward with the Knifehands. She deftly turned aside from him and raised her arm to strike again.

R looked her straight in the eyes, and she realized that behind his glasses, his eyes were deep crimson.
"Clarissa," he said slowly, savoring the shock on her face, "I've said it many times. You don't remember enough to know - "
Then the Adams came flying in, and he was released. He stepped away from the place where he had been held, looking at the Thief. Time for a bit of revenge.
Once Lionel had disengaged for a moment, R lunged in with...Knifehands?!

"Hey!" Schraeder shouted. Those people had been working with the Thief before they had come in! They had trapped that man and...who knew what else?!
Then one attacked Michelle, and Schraeder knew for a fact that they were enemies. At that point, he blinked above whoever his eye landed on - Elizabeth, apparently - and came slamming down.

Clarissa's eyes widened at what Agent R said, but when the blonde girl freed him, she got pissed. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" She started to help Lance attack the girl that dared let R go. While Lance went after her from above, she aimed at the girl's legs. It seemed that she and Lance made a pretty good team.
------
As is, Adela didn't know what was going on. She'd just seen these people earlier, and they didn't attack out of malice then. "Eh?" But once she saw Clarissa and Lance attack Michelle, she realized that they had to fight these people. Looking around, her eyes fell on Helena's form and she started to charge at her. Hopefully, she could catch this girl by surprise.

Assaulted by three different people at once, The Thief did the logical thing. He blink-teleported, exactly as Schraeder had done.
He popped back into existence further down the hallway, further into the building - not the same way the Adams had gone, however. "I should've just finished my work and left," he growled. "Listen to me! Get down this hallway, I have something I need your help with!" he shouted over the noise, tilting his head further back into the building.
---
Michelle twirled artfully to behind the remains of the hand, which served to both stop their attacks and trip them up. With a gesture from her own hand... nothing happened.
Wait, no, was that a breeze?
No, s**t, it was a gale.
The wind pressured Lance and Clarissa, then pushed them back, then knocked them off their feet - then died. Michelle had moved on to prepare to engage The Thief.

"b***h!" Elizabeth screeched as Host-Agent R was released. Before she could gather herself for an attack, she sensed something above her and dropped to one knee, bringing her shield above her head. Taking a deep breath, she braced her body as Schraeder slammed down on top of her. "Augh!" she cried out briefly as he landed on top of her guard.
With a grunt that became a growl that became a roar - a sound that was entirely unfitting from one of her appearance - she bodyslammed the shield sideways at a nearby wall, then pulled back, ducked a little, and swung in with a left elbow at the level of where Schraeder's ribs would have to be, then left to pursue to the Thief - after all, they needed someone who could handle this Host-Agent R who seemed determined to kill them.

Schraeder was caught off-guard, but he recovered in time to blink out of the way, so that when Elizabeth turned to pursue the Thief, Schraeder was there to stop her.
In the form of a boot to the face.

Elizabeth, were she to make a list of "things she generally expects," teleporting boots-to-the-face would not have been high on said list.
Unfortunately, this meant she was entirely unprepared for the boot to the face she received, which threw her flat onto her back.
"Jerk!" she yelled, stumbling up, shoving herself forward, and slamming her shield up between Schraeder's legs. "Get away from me!" she added as she ran around him, keeping her shield ready to block any further teleportation-attacks.

Schraeder's eyes turned into big white saucers before squinting down to slits as he fell to his knees.
"Adela," he gasped. "Pain...remove it...can you?"

Adela heard Shcraeder and looked over to see him on his knees. She immediately stopped what she was doing to run over. "Schraeder, what's wro-oh....." She'd seen that look of pain in her brothers' eyes before when she'd kicked them in a very sensitive spot. "Wait, you want me to what?!"
Schraeder looked up at her with pleading eyes. "...you owe me big for this." Awkwardly, Adela placed her hands at either side of Schraeder's hips. Like HELL if I'm going to be grabbing at....ugh. Looking to the side, she concentrated on helping Schraeder's little problem. Once done, she got up and said, "Don't get hit there again. Otherwise, I might not help you," she blushed. When I said I wanted to make people feel better, I didn't mean it in this way!!!

Schraeder, logical to the end, could not comprehend Adela's discomfort. To him, she had simply been relieving his pain.
"Thank you," he said with a small smile before blink back into Elizabeth's path. He swung a leg around in a sweep, aiming to knock her off her feet.
