Florecent lights buzzed gently in the gunmetal grey corridor as Dr. Vanessa Sinesis walked down it, looking in on her newest specimines. A small smile tugged at her cupid bow lips, which she caught in the wall's reflection. The smile widened a bit as she regarded her still smooth and pale skin, and her carefully styled red hair. She smoothed a

“I don’t suppose we can talk about this? I mean…I know stuff.” Not really. He didn’t know anything about anything, aside from Teddy being an alien and…well, that could be useful actually. After all, he’d promised to be quiet as long as they were quiet about him and he wasn’t positive, but he was pretty sure being captured was a loophole…wow. He was so going to hell. But at least he’d go there without being cut into little pieces, hopefully. “In fact-”
The explosion derailed his thoughts. He could almost feel the ground shake. He stumbled back, almost tripping over Teddy. He crouched in front of the other teen, shielding him incase of…something. It wasn’t a friendly thing so much as a It’d be a good idea to keep his potential leverage alive thing. And, if he died now, maybe he could use this as a leverage to not go to hell. Did it work that way? Had someone just lost their head?

Cassie felt the collar loosen around her and quickly raised it over her head and set it on the ground- just in case it decided to explode if dropped. The humming sound came back on, and she could see the faint glow of the forcefield come back on before dying out again. This might just be her only shot, even if she couldn’t see anything on the other side. She grew back to normal size and darted across the forcefield’s border.
Cassie looked around, trying to make out the figure of that woman as the smoke started to clear.

Beneath Tommy, Teddy stirred. He was starting to feel a lot better... and a lot like grinding his captor's face into the dirt. His ribs were sliding back into their proper alignment, so whatever it was in the collar that kept their powers from working had been blown out.
Good.

The smoke rolled higher, giving Kate a clear view of everything just below Dr. Sinesis's shoulders. Figuring this would be her best opportunity for an effective attack, Kate got her feet beneath her body and lunged. Moving as quickly as she could, she grabbed the doctor's nearest arm and brought her shin up to press against the woman's rib cage, then swung her other leg up and over to bring Sinesis down by her throat. It took just over a second, and when they hit the ground Kate arched her hips to hyperextend the elbow as much as possible.
"RUN!" she commanded, and hoped the others got away before the doctor managed to get free.

With the smoke clearing from her vision, she could see the flicker of the force field as it deactivated. Now was the time to grab Eliza and get out of this cell. "Come with me! We need to get out of here!" Sofia turned to the girl, motioning for her to follow her and wasn't planning on moving until she did. All the while, the wind was doing its job clearing the additional smoke from the area.

The smoke and dust were still pretty thick around him, but he could hear more havoc outside. Someone had given the order to get the hell out of Dodge, and someone else was trying to round everyone up, and for some reason, the wind was whipping around the cells. He couldn't hear much else, which worried him a little.
As the smoke and dust began to clear, he could start to make out the shape of his captor, walking very slowly and calmly in his direction. Despite the fact that he didn't feel like moving for another week, Zack wasn't going to give up. "C'mon, b*tch. You don't f*ck with the Mighty Metal Midget." he said feebly from the floor.

Vanessa Sinesis made an annoyed noise in the back of her throat. "Stupid, stupid girl," she said, sending a spell coursing through and around her. The electrical shock should be enough to deal with the child who thought she could pin her, and she could feel her body changing, hardening. If these children were so eager to die, then so be it. She would feed their corpses to her daughters when this was done.
Eliza looked at Sofia with dark, uncomprehending eyes for a moment, then nodded slowly. She climbed to her feet and followed the girl, ignoring everything. She moved like a sleepwalker, in fact.

“You’re better now? Great great.” He said, licking his lips. Smoke was swirling, wind was coming from somewhere and shoving it about, and everyone was leaving their cells as their powers kicked back in. Chaos. Tommy loved chaos. He wished he could get this damn collar off but he didn’t want to risk blowing up his head unlike certain other people. “Soo…you guys do that regrouping thing you do, I’m gonnarunaheadandmakesureit’sclear.”
He was gone almost before he said it all. He ran past the slowly assembling group Cassie had her collar off, Kate looked like she could use a little help so here was hoping someone else noticed, Billy seemed preoccupied with his metal friend and the two girls he didn’t know were on the move. He didn’t care. There were people other than that lady here and this time Patriot wasn’t around to lecture him.
