Jane was hit by the kick, though his abs were hard, so it didn't hurt too much. "Little physical, aren't you? You know, this is a sparring match, not boxing." He remarked gently, laughing with the hit. Perhaps he was a little too reckless.

Gabriel held his leg forward for a while, then lowered it slowly. "Sparring IS physical," Gabriel said with a grin. "Besides, nobody said no kicking, did they? And anyway, there's no kicking in boxing."
During this break, Gabriel looked over and noticed Nico, rather flustered, charge out of the room. He sensed activity, as well as confusion.

Jane noticed the confusion around him, and sheathed his rapier. "I think we'd better stop. And, by the way, it would be a lot safer to learn some weaponry skills, and win without working with kicks or punches, or anything like those." He said softly, bowing as he stepped out of the circle.
"What is going on?" His voice was strong as he asked one of the researchers that question. A small, quaint frown crossed his lips, concern wiped across his face. He was currently anchored in today, unless someone did or said something to drag him into trying to search his memories. Then he would go into auto drive, and he wouldn't remember anything that happened while he was like that. Though he did seem stronger and more talented with fighting and examination of various things.

Nico punched the wall rather hard, causing a resounding thud in the walls. "They. Wouldn't. Dare." She hissed, looking to the man who saw clearly the pain, and overwhelming rage in her face. The aura was growing stronger, causing some discomfort to those who walked past. Taking a deep breath, she straightened up and closed her eyes to think for a moment.
Hearing Jane, her eyes flicked open, turning to walk back into the room where everyone was. "We got something to do. Taking down a research base of the industry. Abnormal amount of guards, some sporting some extra strength, more guns, the works. Get your stuff. We're moving out in five. Details upon gathering upstairs." She announced so everyone could hear, her voice calm, powerful, and well... not leaving much room for questions until they were good to go. She then left the room to change, these clothes not something for a mission with a requirement of secrecy, and overall ninja skills. Plus she wanted to grab her spare clips that were in her drawer. Other agents of the industry here were moving prepping to go before them.
Nobody got in her way, soon exiting her room sporting some better clothes with more pockets for her many clips and one spare pistol for good measure. By upstairs she meant a rather large hall where they met up, different stairs and elevators and the like leading to different exits around the city. She was a woman with a mission and she was beyond pissed. This was personal.

Jane saw the look in Nico's eyes, and frowned. This was not going to be simple, he knew it. Moving up to his dorm, he slunk through, choosing to change into a black pair of slacks and a black polo. Even with this, he still had his bright orange hair and eyes, so he'd have to be careful. Rapier? Sheathed, against leg. Daggers? Sheathed, in their sheaths around upper arms. Ready? It seemed so. He left, heading up to the large hall.
Jane could do a lot more with a rapier than he could do with any gun, and even more with daggers. No need for modern weapons, even in a situation like this. Upstairs, he looked around the hall, smiling slightly. At least this was a place he could remember with ease. Could he remember anywhere else? A glaze. No. Not now, don't worry about memory. Be in today. Alert again. Watching the area where the others would arrive throw, he frowned.

"'bout damn time..." Amaya muttered with a dark grin as she got up, taking her scimitars forcefully from her therapist who had been keeping them from her. All the others seemed to use things like guns and that sort of nonsense, she loved feeling her blades cut through human flesh, especially the flesh of those who tore her family apart.
The energy user didn't really need to change, while her clothes seemed much too dressy for committing murders, but she didn't want to waste time, or get slowed down.
Now ready, Amaya stood in the hall where they were supposed to meet, pacing anxiously. She wanted to kill.

Jane watched as Amaya walked in, his own eyes obviously anxious. Though he had no problem with blood, he was nothing against Amaya's love for the kill. As he couldn't remember much, it was difficult to hold things against people. Hard to hold grudges. Without grudges, well, there isn't much of that blood thirst. He rubbed his nose slightly, before looking at Amaya gently.

Some field play, eh? Gabriel sheathed his katana, grabbed his throwing knives and ran back to his room, putting on a pair of black boots, black cargo pants and a blue T-Shirt. With this new appearance, he found the sling for his sword and placed it on his back, thinking that this carry would fit the mission more well.
Next was the daunting task of finding where he was supposed to deploy. He trekked his way back to the training room, then tried riddling his way through the maze of hallways, elevators and staircases. Would it kill these people to put up a MAP here and there? Gabriel thought as he floundered here and there, running around identical hallways until a scientist was kind enough to point him in the right direction.
When he made it to the hallway, Amaya and Jane were already there. Amaya looked antsy with anticipation. "Finally some action, huh?" he said to her, chancing a grin.

Nico waited with a forced patience for the others, watching as Jane was the first to arrive, quickly followed by Amaya. Checking her pistols, she waited another couple of minutes, her eyes raising as Gabriel entered the room. Raising her head, she saw that the rest of their forces were amassed as well in the area. They were currently all standing on something that looked like it could function for a landing pad, yet it was clear it split up into different sections and would take them to their respective exits. From there, they would go through the passage ways and enter the city unnoticed for the most part.
"Alright. Now that we are all here... details. I'll keep it short and quick since I'm sure some of you are eager to get killing. I know I am." She started, only speaking to her power using companions since the others had their orders. "We are infiltrating a base of the enemy. They are conducting experiments there, attempting to make more like us, as well as cloning those that they want to. While the others cause a lovely major distraction, we are to find a way in, locate their database, infiltrate, and get out. Normally I wouldn't say this, but kill everyone. Doctors, researchers, security, everyone. I'll leave the decision to kill the subjects or not up to you. Higher ups were a little vague on that. Now lets MOVE." She snapped, almost seeming more like Amaya was usually except she could probably still be talked to... a little bit.
The platform they were standing on lifted, their own group sent shooting down a tunnel above the larger force, cocking only one pistol as she put the other in it's holster. Drawing her rapier, her trench coat fluttered much akin to a movie effect, her ponytail doing the same. It didn't take long till they came to a stop, four chutes opening up in front of them. "You'll know the building by the explosions." She muttered, darting down one. At the end there was a ladder which she quickly climbed. She came out in an what seemed like a field that was a short distance from the city itself.
3...2...1...BANG! A large explosion went off in the guard building next to what seemed to be a simple museum for something or another. Darting forward, she followed after a squad of their guys that went in, moving past as they cleared a way for her. She shot when she needed to and cut down the rest, making her way to one of the ways down into the lab that was, stereotypically, underground. Big surprise. There were two elevators that went down that far, both requiring passcodes... at least if their system wasn't currently being controlled by the others back at base.

Amaya listened impatiently, her head darting up as she heard the permission granted to kill absolutely anyone in her path. The girl could hardly wait to do this. Anytime she got permission to kill those who ruined her entire life, she felt alive again.
Amaya didn't even wait for Nico to finish, as soon as permission was granted, she bolted, pulling out her scimitars as she drew from energy around her, the lights surging as she cut through the walls like paper. "Come on you ********! Come out and face me!" She creamed as she began punching straight through people, her fists bloody as organs flew everywhere. Heads were crushed and brains and eyeballs splattered against the walls.
The girl was so angry, she even ripped off limbs and beat people to death with them. Her rage was one that was unmatched, and the ones who gave her such powers should have thought of what they were making. The amount of blood pouring out of the rooms was sickening, and some of her own people slipped and fell into pools of blood.
"If you're expecting to me be doing the tech stuff, you're sadly mistaken!" Amaya yelled to the others, a twisted grin on her face as she continued to rip people apart. It was the only time Amaya ever smiled now. While she was still fighting, blood was beginning to leak out her mouth,the stress on her body from using her powers was beginning to take effect, though she refused to stop just yet.

Jane walked calmly down the hallway once Nico was finished, quite the contrary of both females. He paid no attention to which one, he only walked towards the building that was described: explosions. He stepped in, sending a calm wave of emotion around him. They wouldn't be alert, not freaked out. He wouldn't seem like an intruder at all.
Unlike the other two, Jane was passive about the deaths. He didn't know his past, so there weren't any regrets. Nor was there any revenge in his spirit. They were simply obstacles in the way of the future, and he acknowledged them simply as that. None recognized him, so obviously they were meaningless.
His eyes examined the area, watching as each person died. He was cold towards them, not acknowledging their lives. Sure, they'd had them, but he didn't know about them. He wanted to keep it that way.

Suddenly there was so much action around him that Gabriel was a bit confused on what to do next. After hearing the explosion though, he lurched into action, running down the hallway that opened up to him and ran up the ladder.
Nico was right, he definitely knew what building to go into. A giant building in front of him had erupted in fire, sirens going off within. "Ok, game time," he thought, pulling out a couple of throwing knives in preparation. No sooner had he entered a small wall through the east side of the structure had security began opening fire on him. The initial shock of people actually trying to KILL him rooted him in place for a second. Whoa! Ok, ok ok ok LET'S DO IT! Gathering his strength, he launched from behind the wall and, taking steady aim, launched his knives with sharp precision, each of them hitting their vital marks on his attackers. He ran past them, down the hallway and used his telekinesis to force open the first door he sees, searching for the test subjects. Gotta save as many of these tests subjects as I can. Before the others find them... Gabriel thought.

Nico was already far gone from the others, now deep into the base. Walking down a hallway, it was clear this was where she wanted to be, firing a shot as a guard tried to sneak up on her. Reloading, she turned a corner, coming to a pause at the open door, a man standing inside. Her face paled, the angry aura coming off of her almost seeming to vanish. Contrary to popular belief, this was a very bad thing. Stepping into the room, the doctor was simply standing there calmly, the door closing after her.
Inside, there were incubation tubes that could fit fully grown humans. But inside there were copies of a 9 year old boy. Her expression became impossible to read for it was such a strong mix of things. Grief, anger, pain, some form of denial, and all attempted to be contained under a strained neutral expression.
"Why?"
Her voice sounded small, cracking despite her best efforts. She pointed her rapier at the man, her eyes falling back upon him as a tear fell. "Who ordered this?" She demanded, strength returning yet it was clear she was still shaken.
The doctor still did not react, looking evenly at the girl. The room they were in was now cut off from the rest of the chaos, the other power users prevented for the moment from coming in. "Nico Minoru. Age:19. Two exceptional parents, and a promising little brother. He fell ill and was taken away to a special hospital for a cure to be figured out and given to him." The man recited, taking a step towards the tanks, looking up to the boy inside and reached a hand up to touch it. "Or so you were told." He finished, his hand falling away as he looked at her. "He was the first who successfully took an implanted gene after being born. For the rest of you eight, it had been given to you introveniously while you were an embryo." He started, falling silent as she moved.
Nico shook her head, she did not want to be reminded of that. "Shut up." She whispered, her arm still holding steady as her rapier remained pointed at his neck. "SHUT UP!" She snapped, suddenly cutting her other arm to summon her staff forth. Sheathing her rapier, the amount of power that suddenly flooded into that room from her body grew, causing a faint rumbling in the things on the desk tops. "I don't need a lecture on what was. WHO ORDERED THIS?!" She demanded, knowing full well why they must have done this. Part of her prayed that the name he told her wasn't the one she already knew in her heart it was, daring fate to make it someone else.
The man only pushed the bridge of his glasses further up his nose, folding his hands behind her back. "Ms. Minoru, I believe you already know the answer to that." He answered calmly, holding up a finger as if to tell her to wait. "Ah, hold on now, you should meet someone..." He went behind one wall, coming back with a young boy in front of him, a small dragon perched on his shoulder. Looking from the boy up to her, his expression did not change, the tone of voice did not raise or lower. "Nico Minoru, meet Alden. Can you say hello to her?" He asked softly, turning his gaze down to the clone.
The little boy nodded with a smile, looking up to Nico. "Hello Nico. I'm glad to meet you."
Her heart thumped painfully as she saw the replica come into view, eyes widening before they shrank behind tears, biting her lower lip. No... no no no... The boy spoke. Another painful thump. A boys laughter in the back of her head, calling for her to look and come. He's not the same... He's not the same... The aura she held wavered, shaking her head slightly at first before it grew moreso. She had to force herself to stop, raising her eyes to the doctor behind the boy.
The slightest smirk, tsking lightly as he saw the glare she held. "I'm afraid you'll have to excuse her Alden, Nico's not feeling herself today. Can you-"
"Crumple."
Cut off, he suddenly felt a clamping sensation on all his limbs and throat. Each was slowly being crushed, twisted, pulled this way and that steadily.
Nico listened to the mans screams as she tortured him slowly with that one spell, her one hand clenched so tight that she cut open her palms, blood dripping between her fingers. She listened to every crunch of his bones, watched as some bones popped through the skin, spraying blood across her and the boy who stood as still as stone. She watched the man crack and twist before eventually becoming a small pile of blood and flesh with bones standing out of it. She had not made it short to be sure. The look in her eyes was frightening, yet the boy in front of her did not react. The dragon on his shoulder was the thing that did. It whined beneath the overwhelming pressure that came from her aura.
Lowering her staff, she turned her attention to the copy of her brother, any expression gone from her face. "You aren't him. You are only a copy of him. You aren't allowed to replace him!" The boy started to approach her with his arms extended to hug her and she recoiled from him. But she was still standing close to the door so his arms slid around her waist and he held her tightly.
"Don't cry Nico. I don't like it."
Nico froze, choking back a sob as she let out a wail, one hand clutching her little brothers shoulder. No, he wasn't her little brother. Her staff sank back into her flesh, instead pulling out her pistol and rapier once more. Looking down at the form that held her so tightly, she manuevered her grip on her rapier to run a hand through his hair softly, the smile he held when he looked up to her crushing her. "It'll be alright sweetie... I've always loved you most."
Bang.
The body crumpled to the floor, too emotionally numb to react. Turning to the rest of the tanks, she went over to the main computer, typing in a quick code, looking down the rows and rows... Hitting enter, a warning sounded, all the tanks getting shut off and the life-forms inside killed.
Turning slowly, she didn't seem to care over the two human bodies she stepped over or the one dragon one, walking slowly out of the room. Guards assaulted her at which point instincts had kicked in, leaping forward into action to slice them to hell with her rapier, others getting bullets. Some were knocked down with kicks and blows, at this point it was a blur to her.

Jane kept moving, cutting down people who were in his way. His face was mild, as though he cared not that he was killing. In fact, it appeared as though he was taking a simple Sunday stroll, minding his own business. This threw the majority of the guards off guard, so he could waltz right past them without even harming them. Soon enough, he made it to a laboratory, his bright orange eyes gazing about it. Nothing of note, until his own first name appeared on a sheet of notes, on a lab notebook. A log book. Why could his name be in there? Confusion, and his memory tried to surface. Or rather, he tried to force it to return. His eyes glazed over as a scientist entered, grinning.
He himself didn't notice the scientist, though somewhere his automatic response did. A turn around, and his glazed eyes seemed to acknowledge the scientist. His rapier flipped about, the scientist nearing in his approach. The blade scraped an essential artery in the wrist, and a moan was drawn from the man's lips. Jane was thrown back into consciousness, and glaring honestly at the man whom he'd managed to cut. "What" Jane raises his rapier. "Did" Jane moves closer. "I" a flick of his wrist. "Miss?" Rapier cuts into the jugular, a grin forming on Jane's face. "Don't sneak up on me. Ever."

After forcing the door open, gabriel was astounded to find that the room was filled with children. They were all merely adolescents or teenagers, the oldest one in the room could not be more than 12 years. The room had been completely dark until he had forced open the door; the children were all crowded, sharing the light of a small LED bulb. They were all looking at him, frightened in place.
"This building is coming down!" Gabriel yelled. "You'll have to get yourselves out!! Go out this door and straight down the hallway to your left! Go through that giant hall and make your way to safety! MOVE!!" He took a few steps forward and started motioning towards the doorway.
The yelling was all the children needed to get moving; they lept up in an instant and started for the door. All except one; out of the corner of his eye, Gabriel saw a young girl crying hysterically in the far right corner of the room. He ran towards her and, sheathing his sword, scooped her up into her hands. As he did so however, another explosion went off on the other floors, causing the ceiling to collapse. Thinking quickly, Gabriel focused on the ceiling above him, holding it safely above their heads.
But now, the doorway was closed off. Now what? Gabriel thought, looking around the lightless room for a clue. Oh, oh of course! Don't have a doorway? I'll just make a new one! Placing the girl down for a second and taking a few steps back from the wall behind him, Gabriel wound up and focused his telekinetic energy into his fist, then swung as hard as he could. The wall exploded from his path, and he plucked up the girl again and ran though his improvised exit.
Allowing the smoke to clear, Gabriel now found himself in another white hallway. As he looked to his left, he saw Nico, walking slowly towards him. But something was wrong: she seemed distant, her eyes listless and empty. She was not looking at him, or anything for that matter. What had happened to her??
Suddenly, more explosions went off. Sections of ceiling came down in boulders. Pieces of wall exploded behind him. Lights flickered and died. "Nico!" Gabriel called, jogging towards her, "Nico, this place is coming down! We have to get out of here! She simply kept walking. "Nico, are you alright?! Snap out of it! We have to go! Now!!
