[Matt's holding a cigarette, but he seems unaware that it's gone out. His goggles are pushed up onto his forehead, and he looks, and is, exhausted

[Quietly sends the coordinates she sent Allen the night before to Matt. He'll need them.
But she opts against sending him a video. Her face is still bruised and cut, her eyes are still puffy, and her arm is still broken and in a sling. She hates people seeing her like this.]
Still think I'm crazy for what I do back home?
[Road pauses.]
I can come with you, if you like. I know how to handle myself in a fight.

[Can't say she blames him, really. When someone doesn't understand, they're very unlikely to ever begin to understand - unless they live her life, which is impossible. There's only one Dreams of Noah, and she's pretty much the same each time, no matter how many times she's reborn.
But he's taking her up on her offer. Road knows better than to look a gift horse in the mouth.]
Good.
Allen and my brother... came and got me. While they were moving me out of it to another facility.
Apparently I was too much for them to handle. Or something.
[After the last few days and all of the help Matt and Elfangor have given him, Fai can't help but wonder if the boy is prepared for such an assault as he's about to launch.
All these children, so rash and young.
But these two have shown him kindness, more than once, so really... if he can help the boy and gather more information on these 'locals' at the same time, he can do this.
Besides, apparently one of the women is also staying there with Yamamoto and Gokudera, so there is a multi-layered interest for him, really.
So he brings up the video to reveal the similar, slightly somber face from the night before, and simply cants his head to the side.]
If you can show me on a map where they're being held, and go over what information she has, I can tell you what else we need to move out tonight.
[ A humorless smile, then,]
I have some experience with situations like this, child.
[Matt flushes a little, but ignores his embarrassment as pointless, and sends Fai the coordinates Road sent him.]
I think they deliberately targeted women, because they assumed they couldn't defend themselves as well. But J, she's a vampire. [This isn't the time to be coy about things.] They had some way of making her weaker than she ought to be.
Tell me that again in another hundred years and I might believe you. Until then...
[A wink, before he glances at the coordinates with a frown. Because that does sound problematic. The fact that Matt had admitted the fact of her other than human state doesn't appear to have bother Fai in the slightest, nor are his questions aimed at that, exactly.]
Has she given you any ideas at all as to their method of limiting her abilities? And Matt? I suggest we go together, scout the area, and come up with both an infiltration and exit strategy.
After all... you do want to successfully save her, don't you?
[And for a moment, he feels as if he's talking to Syaoran. Makes him miss the kid. Bur now is hardly the time...]
Yeah, but. Got the feeling time's of the essence here, man.
[Is it weird to call Fai that? He doesn't look all that much older than Matt does, but from the way he talks... Not important now, and Fai probably wouldn't spill anything, anyway.
Matt sighs, and gets a fresh cigarette.]
I dunno how, but it worked on someone with different kinds of powers, too.
[He's starting to think he ought to put his faith in good old-fashioned projectiles, instead of in morphing. And Fai does have a good point.]
From what she said, it wasn't all the time. I think I can do a pretty good disguise, if we're gonna scout things out. How about you?

Do you have the location to where they're being held?

Look, my girlfriend's in there. I'm going in no matter what. I'm getting all the intel I can from her.

[He might find Road somewhat creepy, but if she's willing to help humans, and not-really-humans, there might be hope for her.]
You have powers, right? Did you, um. Still have them?

My first priority is Marco, but I'll help wherever I can.
