Ness on the open bed gate of the pickup truck they had commandeered for evacuation purposes, legs dangling over the side, trusty baseball bat in hand.

"Don't worry, Lyra," he said cheerfully, smiling for the benefit of the nervous civilians riding with them. "We can take'em."

[spacetimeguard]

"It doesn't look like there's anyone following us." Safeguard was up in the air, playing aerial scout, his entire body radiating alertness as he looked around. From the air, he had a better view as it was - and he didn't freak out some of the more nervous civilians with how yellow his eyes seemed to be.

"Ness is right. If they do show up, we can and will take them."

Even when he had his own goals, Keith was good at taking orders. He took the government-provided transport to Los Angeles without complaint, calm and quiet the whole while. Not a trace of nervousness here.

With Matsuka at his side, he headed for the landmark to which he'd been directed, pausing only to check his gun. He wasn't sure whether he'd have to give it back after this was over, but he was hoping the government would be too busy to notice if he didn't. It was an antiquated thing, and so was the knife he had as well, but it would serve its purpose.

He said nothing to betray his true purpose--only flicked a glance at Matsuka and sent him the following thought: When I incapacitate HIVE members, look for directions to their headquarters in their mind--and any information on where Mayor Ellis is.

Matsuka kept quiet himself, but he couldn't entirely keep from fidgeting nervously during the long trip cross-continent, in contrast to his commander's calm self-possession. He made sure to stay close, especially once they'd reached Los Angeles, and when he caught the thought that Keith had focused at him he ducked his head in vaguely uncomfortable acquiescence.

...what about the civilians? he ventured, after an anxious glance around them.

[prodigitalson]

That thought gave Keith pause for only a fraction of a second. Then he cast his gaze away dismissively. We'll be assisting in their evacuation by removing the forces opposing it. Anything more than that is not our problem.

[loveyourenemy]

The reply brought an unhappy look to Matsuka's face, but he made no offer to protest it. Instead he simply answered with a quiet Yes, scarcely more than a telepathic whisper, and nothing more than that. He had his orders.

"HOOK UP!" The airman had to yell over the roar of the transport plane's engines. "REMEMBER! YOU GOTTA HIT THE BASEBALL FIELD! IF YOU COME DOWN ON THE BUILDINGS, YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA BREAK A LEG

Once he'd arrived in L.A., it had taken avoiding more than a dozen evacuation squads, and with so many heroes, H.I.V.E. members, and citizens, it was difficult to remain unnoticed. Out of suit he had donned a new, random disguise that obscured his face as he moved between panicked crowds and abandoned streets, making his way for the heart of the city. Undoubtedly, there would still be people left behind, and there would be Justice that needed to be met. A faint roar caught his attention and he glanced up in time to notice a chute open. Someone else was nestling deep within the bowels of this festering city.

With a sibilant laugh that was muffled beneath folds of his cloak, he took out his guns and headed for the location. It would be wise to know who this new arrival was, should they run into each other taking down the fiends that threatened the lives of innocents.

Sooraya Qadir was standing in the middle of a baseball field when a crazy man fell out of the sky. That was not the most polite way of describing the situation, of course, nor the most accurate. She was in the middle of the baseball field, yes, and completely separated from her team, but she was walking across it, as fast as she could--at least until the sound of the helicopter thundered across the field.

Her arms and legs, already half sand to discourage anyone who might be planning on targeting her extremities, dissipated even more in anticipation of an aerial strike. After all, she had not seen any evidence of bombings here, but Sooraya had known bombs. She didn't actually stop moving at that point, either; instead, she broke into something between a run and a glide, given how totally insubstantial her feet were--it would be harder to hit a moving target. It was when the man parachuted down and the helicopter flew away harmlessly that she stopped running, her eyes narrowing as she observed the mysterious figure's fall, and the

Jack pointed his rifle at the civilian- who else would wear a niqab in a combat zone?- the instant he spotted her. "Federal Agent, let me see your hands!" He yelled, not taking any chances with what she might be concealing under there. (And damn if it didn't feel good to refer to himself as a Federal agent again) "Identify yourself!"

Maddie's Rescue Flights (open)

[medea_recast]

From sunup to sundown and longer, Maddie will be using her cargo plane to shuttle people away from LA and relief supplies back to those still in the City.

She's always on the move, but can be found in-between flights taking a catnap while she refuels and resupplies on either end, or doing regular maintenance checks on the plane itself. Anyone accompanying flights either direction can come to the cockpit for a chat.

Dated back to June 5!

Warren has been assigned to do air support along with Maddie and Sam. So far, the redhead hadn't done anything drastic, but he still didn't want to take any chances. She'll find Warren in the sky beside and behind her plane, and landing when she does. Today is no different, and he's watching her from a few feet away during their most recent landing.

[medea_recast]

The landing is routine, they've all been that way and Maddie quickly helps her passengers exit the retro-fitted plane. As she exits herself for a quick bite to eat she looks over at her... escort. Hiding her glare behind her glasses and giving him a smile she waves him over.

"C'mon, Worthington. Time for lunch!"

[ahhmahgawd]

Since Sam had been ordered to watch over with Madelyne, he was around in the sky as well. Not too far from Warren, he glanced over when Maddie called out to Angel.

"Gonna go get it?"

OPEN [dated from June 5 and onward]

[Warren is mostly shadowing Maddie's flight schedules between Arizona and the HIVE. While she's catching sleep, however, he's still making his rounds for evac, and fighting off soldiers and mutants when need be.

The big blue/black metal guy really isn't hard to miss in the air or on the ground.]

June 7; after Sally rests

[prettymorlock]

[Sally is gliding along the ground and trying to locate any holdouts in the current area she's searching. She's pretty sure she got them all but she wants to make sure before calling it in. She's also hopeful that she won't run into any HIVE members.

So of course when she's rounding the corner of the building she ends up right by a whole swarm of them.]

Oh boy.

[She spots Warren up in the air and hopes she can somehow get his attention.]

[ascending_angel]

[Eagle eye vision has its perks, and the swarm of movement by the HIVE members is what catches Warren's attention. Seeing Sally happened not even seconds later, and he dove down to assist her.]

Skids!

[prettymorlock]

[And there is now gunfire and she hopes her shield stays the hell up because OMG AIEEEEEEEEEEE! It's one thing to train for something like this and another to actually deal with it.

She skids along the ground, trying to focus her blasts to actually hit something. Preferably not Warren.]
