"Dee is the reason I'm here, Charis," Vance said. "She suddenly ran off when we were gonna meet, so I followed her to this point. I didn't expect to have a tail on me...I'll have to keep that in-mind next time I go traveling..."
Vance lent an ear to Skye, rearing his head at her glare until he brought up his affections, making him dig his mental hooves in. "I'll leave my affections where they aren't thank you very much," he quietly but sharply said. "I'll stay out of your hair as long as you stay out of mine, which includes dictating my feelings, alrighty?"
He then turned to Jeff. "After you guys," he said, looking to Dee.

Jeff just shook his head and let Skye vent. Oh she was just unhappy. He looked at Kayne and Ryuusei and shrugged. He didn’t tell them the real reason because they might have said no.
“Dee I’ll see you at the cabin. Just give a heads up if enemy positions. Kayne don’t kill Katherine. She hired us to extract her.”
He was largely ignoring Skye’s drama and beef with the X-Man in attendance. He was going to run his extraction mission.
“Oh and those I have with me remember there’s a bonus if you get to her first.”
~*~
“My mom will love you! It’s going to be great but first we have to beat some people up. Let’s go have fun.”
The dropship settled to the ground and Rhona got up and started toward the back. Once there she opened the and smiled as the bay was deserted somewhat.
“Come on let’s go! We can hopefully get in and out before they know we’re here.”

<< It doesn't hurt me Do you wanna feel how it feels? Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making? You, it's you and me>>
—BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP—
The alarm sounded as if a bomb was about to settle in from the clouds. Red lights flickered, darkening the compound whilst setting an eery glow within the halls.
England, a 4 star general, looked up from his laptop. Gently pulling his reading glasses down to the tip of his pale, pointed nose, he smirked. Gently setting down his pencil, he closed his laptop. Pushing the toe tips of his boots, he rolled his chair toward the door before standing up and grabbing the prison keys.
It was time. His daughter was finally here. It would be the most excellent reunion. He expected friends, too. Why wouldn’t she bring her closest comrades?
“Go ahead and let them in. I don’t want any blood spilt tonight. Be gentle. If they fight, simply just give them BlueOxide10 and we’ll be golden.” He grinned.
“Oh, and put Mozart on. Classical always puts me at ease..”

Dee brushed off Vance’s tiny jump as she landed next to him. She was used to startling people when coming out of trees. She bounced on her tiptoes as he talked. A shy smile filled her face as he talked about people who he cares about. Was there something developing between them? It was hard to tell as she had only read about those types of relationships in comics.
She pushed the rest of the thoughts to the back of her mind as she focused on the mission. “Sides don’t matter in a political debate. Right now, there are a couple of people being held hostage by a madman. This will be no picnic so just do as Grumpy Uncle says. Not to worry, I will protect you as best as I can.”
She ducked her head as she saw the look Jeff gave her. It was not like she asked him to come along, Vance did it all on his own. It would be nice to have a little extra help with what they were about to walk into. A smile crept on her face as Jeff paired them together. She liked the fact that they would be mostly in the trees.
“Yes sir, we can handle whatever they will throw at us. Most of the surveillance equipment should be taken out already. Just be careful in case my friends missed some.”
Dee was halfway up the tree when she heard the comments from Ryuusei. She groaned as she didn’t always understand why Jeff kept the man around. With a flick of her tail, her attention stayed on Vance, “Stick with me, I will make sure you don’t punch the wrong person. Though usually the guys shooting at us are the enemy.”
She chuckled when she noticed Charis came as well. The more the marrier when it came to a fight like this one. She was rather impressed that the girl kept up with Vance. She laughed at the nutty pun as she does love her nuts. She looked over at Jeff to see where her friend was going. It seemed as if he forgot. Things were heated on the ground between the different groups exchanged heated words.
“Walnut Charis, you try to keep up with Vance and me? Careful as there are traps and wires on the ground.” She looked between Vance and Skye as her voice had a slight edge to it. “Use that angry towards each other to fight the enemy ahead. There will be plenty of asses to kick. Let’s go Vance.”
She finished climbing up her tree and was off as Jeff gave the all clear to move out. Her tail flicked as she jumped from tree to tree with the ease of her friends. She would stop on occasion as she smelled or to see if her companions were keeping up. A shiver ran down her spine as things were too quiet. She stopped her approach as she radioed the team.
“Jeff, all is too quiet on this front. Careful as I think he is expecting us. I think there is something much worse planned.”
Wanda scoffed as more people showed up. Her eyes rolled at all the heated words. No one had asked the X-Men to come help them. In fact, she was not asked to come here anyways though she knew when her friends needed help. Her eyes looked at her partner as she stepped to the path they would be taking. Her hands glowed red as she lifted slightly from the ground.
“The girl has a point, enough with the infighting. We all have one purpose. Kayne, Skye, and John we have a longer walk so let’s go. It’s time to take down a dangerous man.”
She nodded to Skye with a look of understanding. When they were home, she would learn why she needed to follow the hot headed girl. She didn’t pause to see if the others were following. She could take down what she needed on her own.

He ignored the 'Walnut'; if she wanted to get herself killed, who was he to stop her? This wasn't on the Professor's dime so he was under no obligation to deal with her bullshit.
...That'd cost extra!
But seeing Skye's reception to Vinny Mac's arrival, that wasn't likely to happen...
(Man, this is turning into a real shitshow!)
Jeff's signal could NOT have come soon enough! Once they split from the main group, he remained close to Jeff to keep the man covered as their job was to draw fire while the others moved. His green eyes scanned the area as Dee's voice came over the radio.
He replied quietly "Nothin' here, either."
Thanks to her 'warning', he was even more on guard.

Charis started climbing up with Dee and Vance catching up to them and as everyone started to leave she followed. She stopped close to Dee as her friend got on the com to Jeff and others and kept quiet as she spoke to them.
After Dee was off the com Charis whispered to her, "I fully agree, please be careful." Sending her a smile afterward. Now, though was time to focus on where she was swinging and climbing as she was also happy she could use her other arms that she made appear.

When 'Grumpy Uncle' gave the word that it was time for action, Psyral charged his psionics so he could follow Dee. "We're up, Charis. Try to keep up, and don't go off on your own this time...I mean it," he met Charis eye-to-eye as he took off with his constructs after Dee, using gliders, grappling wires, and jet shoes, all psionic constructs, to keep up with Dee's animalistic speed and agility.

Getting into the facility was no problem considering Rhona’s expertise. This used to be her home of sorts. It was so weird though, seeing all the mechanics within. Robots, humans, stored specimens… it was a little TOO creepy for his taste. Too creepy for Toad. Odd.
“Kay baby cakes! Once we get ya mama, let’s head though. This place is creepy enough, yo…” he shivered, following her quickly.
“Why she here, anyway?”
——————————————-
Matt gasped as the tubes continued twisting around his body, increasing their suction of his blood. He was missing nearly 30% of his blood supply now. He knew he’d die soon. He just wished he could correct whatever he’d done wrong to deserve this.
“Gabs… I’m sorry…” he whispered “I’m sorry for everything….” He sighed heavily, slumping down to the ground.
***BUZZ***
A strand of electric voltage struck Matthew’s torso to his toes. Feeling his veins pop from from the force, he yelped in agonizing pain. A scream to be heard throughout the facility. His eyes became bloodshot as he fell to the stone.
SCREEEECH, rang the intercom as Darius’ voice softly spoken barely above a whisper “Nun, nun, kleine Krähe. Wir sind fast fertig. Deine Schwester ist hier. Sie wird in Kürze der Party beitreten ...“
Spitting out blood from his dry mouth, he closed his eyes. The man didn’t have the energy to perform a response. His father was a psychopath and he would die here. Alone. And it was all his fault.
*Translation from German: Now, now, little crow. Your sister will be here shortly to join the party.*

Looking around to the large group of people joining her, the woman shook her head. This was her battle and no one else’s. Closing her eyes, she breathed in, slowly opened her eyes and looking to Jeff. He wouldn’t like this; no one would. This wasn’t their battle. She was strong enough to get to her father and strong enough to bring bring to her deceased mother.
It was with a slight hand gesture that she slowly encapsulated their thoughts. Their cognitive abilities grew blurry; as if underwater.
Backing away carefully, as to not interrupt the process, she made her way to the facility. Turning around, she quietly ran into the trees. Once she was out of sight, her hand dug into her jean pocket. Pulling out a folded piece of paper, her eyes carefully examined the blueprint of the building. Tracing her finger around the corner, she pondered out load..
She’d be running a suicide mission, this much was true. She would get her brother. She would rescue Gabs. They run and she stays as bait.
Stepping softly onto the gravel, she walked causally as if she was unfazed by the bullets gliding through the air…

As Psyral was keeping up with Dee, his brain felt strange, forcing him to stop. "Ugh...my head..." he suddenly said as he took a knee. "Something's...wrong..."
He knew something wasn't right. Something...or someone was in his head, so he used his willpower and imagination to resist, to fight back, to regain control of his mind. Whoever was responsible for this would face a serious thrashing when he caught up to them.
