Teams 1, 2, 3: From the Hook in the Egalgina

[_monsters_]

You find yourselves in a strange, impossible dome. Enormous, with red ribbed peeling walls and a harsh red light streaming down from a hole at the very top of the thing. Your voices echo, though your footsteps do not, and there is the loud and distracting sound of a heartbeat coming from what seems to be all sides of you. On the wall ahead of

And Leon enters the dome, looking around a bit. His first concern was locating Warren. He really didn't want to tell Liz that Warren may have gotten himself killed because he couldn't stop the boy from being stupid.

When he gets there, though, he surprised and somewhat relieved to see other team members milling around.

"Hn... looks like I'm a little late to the party."

[derek_bliss]

"Better late than never, man. Glad you could make it," Derek greets Leon with a slight smile.

Good. Two left. They were doing good.

[governmentninja]

"Yeah. Kate and Hellboy should be right behind me. Who else are we missing?" Leon scanned the room, trying to remember who was there at the start of all of this.

[derek_bliss]

"That's it."

Derek looks like hell, by the way--almost like he did at Raccon by the end of it, only, with added burns to his left sleeve and arm.

"Not-Liz's Henry and I been talking. Those ghosts might be back. He says last time there were swords that could deal with them. We might have to go find them."

[governmentninja]

Mrh... ghosts. He remembers the one he encountered, and how it practically took him out just by getting near him. Leon doesn't make a face, but his expression changes from somewhat relieved to more battle ready.

"Alright. Is there anything that'll allow us to get us near enough to use these swords on them?"

[derek_bliss]

"Willpower, probably. They don't exactly make it easy to move when you get near them. If it's anythig like any magic I've heard of, the swords might help with that."

[venus_afflicted]

Turning, Warren grins. "I see how it is, Man. Let me leap and then take your time." Okay, so sue him. He's kind of a little happy. They may not be out but he's seen Liz so... It's better.

[governmentninja]

"Yeah, yeah, kid." Leon gave Warren a grin, then promptly thwaped the kid upside the head. "What you did was gutsy, but stupid. Exercise a bit more restraint in the future."

[venus_afflicted]

"Fucker.' Growling it out but he laughs, glaring at Leon. "What? I should stand around and wait for you to do it? Sorry, Chief, I'll remember you want me to be the damsel in the dress next time."

[governmentninja]

"Play damsel when you're with JP, kid." Leon chuckled a bit. "I just wouldn't want to have to explain to Liz and Henry that you got hurt because I couldn't stop you from being an idiot."

Leon was about to clap him on the shoulder, but stopped when he remembered the Warren had gotten shot. "How's the arm?"

[venus_afflicted]

All the humour goes out of Warren's face, his gaze hitting the floor. "Uhmm, yeah, not that it matters but we broke up.' Muttered softly, trying not to sound as pathetically sad as he suddenly feels.

"It's fine. Really. I'll live."

[governmentninja]

"Shit..." Way to make an ass out of yourself, Leon. "Sorry, kid. I didn't know..."

Leon patted Warren on the back. "C'mon, let's see if we can you someone or something to treat that wound."

[domina_igne]

Possibly because she's exhausted and completely on edge and having her last nerve shredded and basically every other cliche which indicates 'i am not quite right,' Liz's first instinct upon seeing Leon is close to a deranged little fit of laughter. Of course Leon is here. Big Damn Hero Leon.

She's never been so happy to see him.

[onlyroger]

Roger has no idea who Leon is, but he smiles a bit when he notices Liz's reaction to his appearance. Maybe he's one of her new friends?

[governmentninja]

The laughter catches his attention. And when he sees the source, he can't help but feel a lot happier right now. "Liz!"

He went over and gave her a hug. "Liz, damn you..." He looked her over. "...well, you look like shit." Leon was nothing if not honest. "But it's great to see you right now." Especially since she was still alive.

[domina_igne]

"I feel the same, appropriately enough." Augh god shoulder. "It's great to see you too, although I guess Claire's probably going to kick your ass when we get home."
