Back at the Convoy

The orderlies loaded Rob's stretcher into the back of one of the trucks before shuffling back towards the hospital.

Vivien climbed in with him, holding her hand against his to keep the magic she was working to kill the input he was receiving from the treatment. "Just relax, lover," she whispered, eyeing the disappearing figures. "It seems we'll be out of here soon."

Rob draws in a deep breath, opening one eye.

"Are they gone?"

by **Cailleach** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:05 am

"The witch's monstrosities? Yes."

by **Robert West** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:07 am

"Good," Rob says, sitting up, "Hell and Dalmations, that hurt."

"Coat. Tools. Gun," Rob says, standing up and patting Vivien's head as he passed by her on the way towards their supplies.

"You are going to rest until the rest of the process is finished," Vivien said sternly. "We're out of there. Let's not be the ones to risk our necks by changing that fact."

by **Robert West** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:12 am

"Two problems with that," Rob says, pulling a lab coat and a toolbox out from under some supplies, "The first being that whatever the hell is in there needs to be wiped off the face of the map."

by **Cailleach** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:24 am

"Oh, I quite agree. However, there is a problem of numbers involved. Namely, how many slave-things she has in there. So should we care to take it upon ourselves to wipe this blight from the Earth, we should wait for our companions to return to assist."

"Also, there is the matter that while you were being 'treated', her pet skeleton- or whatever that was- presented a thinly-veiled but sufficient threat toward the Crystal Palace. So once we return from this journey, I tell my mother, and the armies of Air and Darkness come crashing down upon this tart with the presumptuousness to call herself a witch, binding her in agony for all eternity and freeing her victims to whatever comforts our home can still provide them."

by **Robert West** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:29 am

"Yes, well that doesn't take care of my second problem," Rob says, pulling a tool box and a handful of mechanical parts from Talos' stash.

by **Cailleach** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:33 am

Vivien did, despite her objections, get his coat, gun and whatever tools he hadn't grabbed already. "And that second problem being?"

by **Robert West** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:34 am

"They took my hat," Rob says, pulling the coat on. Laying the parts out, Rob quickly began assembling something.

by **Cailleach** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:38 am

"Can I persuade you to at least wait until her... 'treatment' has finished its course before we unleash our mighty wrath upon her?"

by **Robert West** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:56 am

"I like my hat," Rob counters, working quickly.

by **Cailleach** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:57 am

Vivien sighed. "Very well," she said, uneasy about all of this, but really not thinking she could dissuade him.

by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:20 am

"Lets get the fuck out of here." Reaper growled.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:21 am

Daniel just stormed toward an unoccupied truck to climb into the back, hate seething in his eyes.

by **Cailleach** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:32 am

"Wonderful timing," Vivien said as the others rejoined them. "We were just preparing to lay waste to this awful place and cast salt on the ashes."

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:34 am

"Too many innocents. Too big of a chance the rookies could die.

No, we get them home first, and THEN we destroy this place. With a plan."

by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:36 am

"She's got Ryan and about a thousand innocent children in there. I'm not killing them so that I can have the joy that pissing on her grave will give me." Reaper elaborated.

by **Cailleach** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:37 am

"Ryan? The winged one that I've heard of?" Vivien asked with a quirked eyebrow.

by **Robert West** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:39 am

"Did you at least get my hat back?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:42 am

"Oh, isn't that fucking cute. The psycho is going to let that horror factory stand because she found her old fuck-toy in it," Daniel muttered, just loud enough to be heard by, well, everyone.

by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:48 am

"Say that again." Reaper said, as she started to send Daniel into anaphalactic shock.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:50 am

Daniel, however, had worked out a counter he hadn't wanted to gamble inside. Converting to flame form, thus removing any body to be allergic to anything, he spun on the spot and let off a blast of energy at her.

by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:55 am

Reaper dropped to avoid the flame blast, although some of it did hit her shoulder, while she tried to force Daniel back into human form.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 1:59 am

Will dove to protect Sara from the fire--not that Daniel's aim is bad, but do you risk it?--covering her in a fireproof shield.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:00 am

"I will say this once, bitch," Daniel roared in that crackly-fire voice he got when he turned this power on. "You will stay the fuck out of my head unless there's a team link up, and if I feel you so much as forcing me to hiccup you'll be coming back here for a fucking return visit!"

by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:03 am

"We don't need all of you to go back." Reaper spat, not letting up on Daniel's mind.

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:03 am

"Fine. You want to deal with her, now? We'll leave you right here," Taliesin shot back. "Best of luck and all that," he added, opening a door.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:04 am

"Good," Daniel said, starting back toward the 'hospital'.

by **Robert West** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:07 am

"I think we missed something," Rob says.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:09 am

"Oh, it's simple," Daniel said angrily, turning around. "There are a thousand babies in there being taken apart and put back together repeatedly. But we're evidently too busy to do something about it."

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:09 am

"Alright, let's roll out," Taliesin called, starting the engine.

"I give him three steps in there before he falls."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:12 am

"I can't believe he is the guy I'm forced to agree with here!" Robin finally objects, pointing at Daniel. "We spend all our time risking our asses to help mutants and we're walking away from this? Really!?"

by **Rick Ferguson** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:13 am

"I agree with you, but even if I went with you, we wouldn't stand a chance," Rick said to Daniel.

by **Taliesin** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:15 am

"We're not just 'leaving' them! We can't go in half-cocked without a plan--that's how people DIE, Robin.

Coming here in the first place was a mistake."

by **Reaper** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:17 am

"Some of those kids are going to need immediate, major healing if they're going to live once Nina is dead. About four hundred of them are mutants, so we need to get them to safety asap once they're out." Reaper said "We don't have the abilities or the manpower. I don't like it, but she's got them sedated, they aren't in pain. We can come back loaded for bear once we've got things organized. Unless you like the idea of a cluster fuck that ends up with a bunch of dead kids."

by **Robert West** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:19 am

"Daniel," Rob calls out, "There's a better way."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:21 am

"I'm listening," Daniel said, still stopped from his little outburst in reply to Rob's confusion.

by **Robert West** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:24 am

"We're going to Wundagore, home of the High Evolutionary," Rob says, "Not only will we have the technology to wipe out that bitch, but also the sort of stuff that can keep those kids alive."

"But we have to move. Now."
