"You can try to ******** reach if you get that close," Jack retorted as he put Oliver's mug in his pack for later. Finn answered said lackey's dumbass question for him (very efficient sometimes, having friends). Fini's timely arrival was greeted with a sharp nod towards the guards as a greeting.
"Company." He lifted his phone idly, hitting a few buttons as if to check something, or type--
And then things seemed to explode. He vaguely remembered a bullet flying past him, inches away from striking him. Blood. Chel's blood somehow (Well that was strange, his logical side thought, what about shields? Something was cheating, supposed deity in the heavens, better come check before gravity also broke). Strange, strange, strange. (But a coffee mug couldn't dent her thick skull, so why should a bullet?)
The blasts temporarily made ringing burn every other thought away. Jack staggered and summoned his weapon on instinct, Owain's nervous chatter not helping things one bit. They had fallen through the portal and were in enemry territory. the important thing now was to--
"Move!" And so he did.

Robert didn't even have his weapon out, which helped when he put his arms up, and slowly - very slowly - moved to stand in front of Mimsy and Shu (and by extension, Bix. You're welcome bro.) But his body shielding did nothing to save them from the explosion, and consequential portaling. The fall was rough, and the landing even rougher. Robert scrambled to his feet as soon as the pain stopped shooting up his spine, and searched for his companions.
What he saw first, unfortunately, was a broken Mark. Unlike the Hunter from earlier, Robert did not assess Mark to be a lost cause, which meant he had a job to do. Others were already rushing into the Ouroboros territory, but he was trained for other choices.
He got up and moved to stand beside him, tugging out one of the Transformers band-aids from the pocket of his shorts. He always carried a few loose in them, because he was very often undressed. With a tender press, he placed the band-aid on Mark's chest.
"That's Clarice watchin' over you, big guy." Robert promised him, as he slowly unfurled Mark's legs and checked for clean breaks. Keeping the limbs straight would make setting them less painful, later. "Now sit back and don't move, I'll come get you when we're done here."
Robert stood back up again, and waggled a finger. "SERIOUS. DON'T MOVE." His lips parted as if to finish the sentence with Doctors's orders, but he caught himself before he made the mistake.
Using: Runic Bandages
Target: Mark

Fire. She had never really feared it before, not even with Thane's initial cringing; her first charge was just an acidic explosion, yes, but it was poison, not fire, that scarred her. There were screams and shrieks going on around her and all she could think of, in her post-blast daze, was if it was purifying in a way. Did it hurt more than it saved?
Thane snapped at her. Now was not the time.
Stormy shakily got to her feet, adrenaline making her feel like she was both walking on air and light-headed. One ear was white noise from the explosion, but the other caught the sounds of battle, the quiet instructions to keep moving. Keep moving forward, no? She unconsciously smeared her hand along her forehead to clear bangs, found only the hat, and tucked it tighter over her head for reassurance.
Even with the greatsword out, she moved surprisingly fast. It was nothing at all to reunite with Gale, though she winced from lingering pains. "Here," she said simply, burying her worries until they only showed in her eyes. Sherry, Jake, Abbi, Otto . . . Lex was at their back before, was he alright? What about her brothers? Candace, Cass--
Nevada.
A cold fist of fear and guilt settled in her chest. She hadn't thought about her until now. There was no way to communicate, no phone to text because she had smashed hers, no way to get back now, no no nononono--
Be safe, Stormy prayed desperately. Please be safe.
"This their base then?" she asked as they moved, trying to sound as calm as Gale normally did between calling out for the others that had been close.

She'd never actually been hit by a bullet. She'd come pretty close once with a bebe gun and her cousin when she was little, but Chel had never really felt pain like this.
Immediately she crumpled to the ground, screaming to confirm to anyone in the area that the bullet did indeed break her shield and crash right through her muscles, tearing the thin fibers on the way out. The shot wasn't too close to her brachial artery to cause a fatal wound, but cavitation ensured that it hurt like hell.
Chel registered they'd moved locations- different trees, different skies. Somewhere she heard Jack commanding her to move, and she tried, she really did. But they were going too fast, her senses too slow. Somehow she knew if she stayed here, she would end up like Mark. She really didn't want to look like Mark right now.
In a panicked state, Chel did nothing. She couldn't move, unsure of what move to make next. Her breathing grew ragid, her skin going clammy as she delved further into shock. Chel knew- she knew she needed to snap out of this, but it seemed as though the more she tried to force herself, the farther she fell down the rabbit hole.

Mark held onto the bandages like a lifeline, and he looked almost small through them. There was a moment where he seemed vulnerable, a little scared, and then he looked back down, and typed slowly onto his laptop with his free hand, it was hard to tell if he actually saw the screen. A second later, he reached out with a USB in his three fingers.
"Take it," he wasn't even targeting anyone, just blindly giving someone something. It would be a while before it could be used, maybe back when they were home again. The word home sounded good for once.
Mark looked over to Gale, then back to Robert, a part of him registered who they were but there was no verbal reaction as he simply stared through them. He turned back to his computer, other in-tact hand poised over the keyboard, a comfort mechanism. There was nothing else to type on it.
OOC Anyone who wants to take the USB for later!

"s**t." It was hissed under her breath as their little group was swept up and herded along with the rest of the Hunters that had gone into the lighthouse. It certainly hadn't taken long for them to get captures, and was that blood on Chels? What the ******** had happened?
The sudden appearance of someone she had heard was dead was a little alarming, to say the least. As was the introduction of the weapons designed specifically to render their shields next to useless.
She winced as she saw Mark, breath hissing out through clenched teeth as he started coughing, but as he began to speak the short blonde stilled. By now she had seen the Death Assistant wiggle his way out of enough tight situations to expect he wasn't going to just take capture lying down. When the lighthouse exploded she wasn't as surprised as she could have been, and she was ready when she felt the urging push that directed her back towards the flames. She went, not happily, and dove through the portal when it came into sight.
And immediately she was thankful for having grabbed a sweater before she had left the dorms. It was cold.
Quietly she lingered next to America as Mark gave them orders, and she waited for the other girl to slap a runic bandage on the guy before resting an hand on her arm. "Eclipse nakama team?" They worked well together, it made sense to stick together.
As Mark held up a USB, Peyton took it, pocketing it for later. If he was giving it to them, she assumed she'd need it.

As they stepped further into the forest, he raised his hand for quiet, shaking his head. He should have told them, he should have told anyone, he could have warned them, could have alerted them, could have done anything.
But there was no time to think of that now, no time to go over everything. "Ouroboros Organization, anti-Deus, no idea where we are or what happened but this," he paused, as shouts echoed through the woods. "But they're here and they will kill us, so stay quiet, and out of their sight."
Mark's orders had been to take them out, but Shiloh really had no idea how to do that, only able to hope for some sort of miracle epiphany along the way. Gone was the smile from his face, and his personality had done a sort of one-eighty, all seriousness and intent despite his ridiculous appearance.

He couldn't leave Mark, but he had to. Gale's fingers reached out and without a word he grabbed the USB drive from Mark's hand and began running, jamming the device into his pocket with a quick nod to Robert as the other man was working.
"I told you," Gale said firmly to Mark. "Get your arse up."
And then Gale had gone, his coat flying behind him, the rifle appearing in his hands. He spotted someone - the girl who looked like Stormy, with Stormy's hair - and reached for her, Gale's fingers curling around her upper arm and pulling her with him.
"Keep moving," he said firmly. "Keep moving and don't stop - Stormy - "
She had appeared by his side, and relief filled Gale, though there was no time to say anything more, other than, "Yes. This is their base. And we've gotta get out."

Two more texts buzzed the phone in Abbi's hands, quite effective in drawing her attention. She read Finn's first and was half way through replying when someone touched her head. A squeak left her, but turned into a happy noise to find who it was. The girl grabbed him in a quick hug before she jumped back enough to hop into the air for explanation of the situation.
Only there wasn't any time for that as a loud noise interrupted her instead.
For a few minutes everything was confusing and scary, Abbi careful to back up until she was nearly hiding behind Ripley's shoulder, wide eyed as she watched the people in grey coats threaten everyone around her. The blast that interrupted that was even worse, but the startling realization of what exactly was going on finally hurried the girl's limbs into action.
Both of Abbi's hands snatched at Ripley, pulled him back and away from the heat before they fluttered off so she could put her frame in front of his. She would not have him exposed to fire of all things, but there was little else she could do as someone else began to pull them off. A screamed ripped through her when she went through the portal, but sand was known and this gritty sand was even more so. She knew northern coasts, she knew that and even if she didn't know anything about what was going on, Abbi could take a small comfort in something like a falsely familiar beach.
The next thing she did, beyond scramble to unsteady feet, was call out to those she had been with.
"RIPLEY? No no no NOEMI? Oh glob--" Her hands shook as she turned on her heel in a frantic spin, searching for white and red and whoever else she might know.
Did she move forward? Did she wander this patch of beach in search of a team? What did she do?!
