Superhero Anarchy

The group arrived at the other base at relatively the same time. The underground base started at a detour off the free way, about 15 minutes before possiblilty city. First Duane arrived. Vincent soon after. They waited, Rayvin wheeled up and then soon James drove up, with Jennifer pulling tail on her motorcycle. The entrance to the underground base, was basically a large door that opened, then closed after they entered the entrance to the base.

Duane looked \"Everyone here?\"

James was walking out from the car. \"Duane, take Vincent, tell him of the password for the security robots.\" Vincent raised an eyebrow. \"Security robots?\" Instantly he wasnt feeling too sure of it all.

Duane lead Vincent to the security robots, the two mammoth robots that stood nearly as tall as the tunnel they were in, which was a good 20 plus feet. He looked \"Heres how you do it.\" He pressed the pannel on the side. \"When you press this button, as you hold it, type the numbers 0-1-8-5. Then say the word Infinity. Got it?\"

Vincent nodded. Vincent looked \"Hold the buttons, type in 0,1,8,5 then say Infinity into the speaker box?\"

Duane nodded. \"Give it a try.\"

Vincent nodded, pressing in the square, red button. He pressed the numbers 0, 1, 8, and 5. Letters on the screne said verified, awaiting speech passcode. Vincent looked \"Infinity.\" In large red letters it said \"Denied.\" on the screne.

Duane looked \"Stupid thing, must be a bit rusty afterall, weent ent used this base in a good three years. Too many memories, ya know.\" He said looking. Here, let me try. He pressed the button, typed in the 4 number code, then spoke \"Infinity.\" again, Denied appeared on the screne. Duane was puzzled. \"Uh guys, the passcode isnt working.\"

James looked \"Well how many times have you tried it.\"

Duane looked back \"Two...\"

James cused. \"One more time, and the robots will be deployed in defence mode.

Vincent looked. \"They wont hurt us, will they?\"

James shook his head. \"They will kill whatever set off the alarm negatively, once we set off the alarm, though, if we get the code, we can deploy the robots into defence mode safely.\"

Jennifer pushed her way through. \"You\'re all idiots. Lemme try.\" She walked upto the control pannel. \"Like this, okay?!\" She punched in the code, it was verified. \"Infinity!\" she announced very forwardly into the speaker box. She groaned. The alarm lights began going off. \"What the hell?\"

James looked. \"Someone must\'ve changed the password, hacked our mainframe and changed it, awaiting our return.\"

Duane looked. \"Either way, we dont have much time before they sick the robots on us.\"

Jennifer had her back turned to the robots. \"Meh, we can take em? Right?\"

The robots began to move, dust unsettling from their standing place. Vincent, Duane, and James all took backsteps, Jennifer looked oddly. \"What?! GAH!\" One of the robots acted quickly, impaling Jennifer with a blade arm, right through the gut. Jennifer shrank to her knees and unconcious on the ground as it withdrew her blade.

James stepped forward. \"JENNIFER!!!\" his beams were charging quickly, Duane was leading Vincent back a step. Vincent looked \"They\'re gonna..\" Duane tackled him to grouground. \"Get down!!!\"

James sent a blast nearly as big as the tunnel they were in at the robot\'s, getting both of them, the clash of the beam and all the metal generated a loud sounding explosion. The robots were in flames as well as the entrance of the hideout was blone open. James blinked then fell unconcious face first as well. The blast taking all the energy out of him.

Rayvin rushed forth. \"Get James to the infirmary.\" he grabbed JenniferTodaToday!\"

Duane grabbed James. Vincent followed. They carried the injured to the infirmary. They laid James and Jennifer on Tables. Rayvin held Jennifer by the head as she laid on the table \"Go get kevin in here too.\" Rayvin said calmly, working his powers causing Jennifers wound slolwy close. Duane and Vincent were soon back with Kevin, laying him down on the last table. Duane looked.

\"You need anything.\"

Rayvin looked. \"Help me hook up the IV units, and the life monitors.\" Duane helped Rayvin get all the equipment set up to the three. He looked to Vincent. \"They gonna be okay?\" Vincent only nodded. He knew they would all be fine. Precognition n\' all. Duane looked to Rayvin. \"Want me to get you something to drink?\"

Rayvin shook his head. \"You two can go for now, I\'ll come get you when I have a definate update on their condition.\"

Duane nodded, he looked to Vincent. \"Well, I\'ll give you a tour of this headquarters.\" He said leading him around the various parts, the computer mainframe. The kichen, living quarters, sleeping quarters, training facilities. He spoke as he walked back to the living quarters. \"So what do you think of this headquarters.\"

Vincent nodded. \"It is definately more acomadatable than the other base, why did you ever leave this one.\"

Duane shrugged. \"Wasnt my decision. I guess, after Lauren\'s death, and James just kinda wanted to leave all this behind, start over fresh, you know. He didnt really take it too well.\"

\"Thats beause she was my wife.. and I loved her more than the world.\" James said, as he walked slowly from the direction of the infirmary. \"But now.. I think I love Jennifer.\"

Duane shook his head with a slight chuckle. \"If the door aint proof enough, I dont know what is.\"

Vincent nodded. \"She is clearly caring for you.\" He said as he walked around the room. Sitting down on a couch.

Duane looked as he checked his watch. \"Well since Im back in town, I might just as well go visit some friends... If Im not back by morning, presume me dead.\"

James shook his head. \"Not funny Duane. But see you later.\"

Soon after Duane left, Rayvin came walking out. \"Kevin is fine, but Jennifer, Im afraid we may not be able to treat her here. We need to rush her to a hospital. She\'s internally bleeding, and if we dont stop it soon, she could die.\"

James looked. \"Im on it.\"

Rayvin stopped him. \"I think It would be safest if I transported Jennifer, being able to manipulate Blood, I will be able to flush her system, I cant find where her bleeding is coming from, such a large wound would take me probably hours to heal. Tens of hours, probably over 2 days at my estimation. And without meditation in that time. It could still fatal.\"

James nodded understandingly. \"Just go..\"

Rayvin nodded. He went and unhooked jennifer carefully, went to his bike and sped off.

Duane was in town by now, he was driving in a rather poor looking residential area. He drove passed a pub, it looked condemmed for all anybody knew. The parking lot was still full. He parked up and walked in. Intantly half the pub stopped and looked at him. \"What?\" He said calmly, walking to the \'employees only\' door in the back, he was stopped by a smaller man. Obviously a mutant.

\"You\'re not aloud in there.\" he said in a high pitched, raspy voice. Almost witch like. Duane drew his gun.

\"Accually I AM.\" he said authoritively and walked on in, infact, opting to kick the door open. The man sitting at the desk had a look that just depicted having shit his own pants. Duane walked upto the desk, tapping his gun.

\"Peter, Peter, Peter. How have you been? \" He said taking a chair from the corner. Sittind down on the front side of the desk.

The man known as peter still looked scared \"Ho..how did you.. you find me?e ase asked slowly.

Duane just smirked, shaking his head at the moron. \"How did I find you. Well, you only have your god damn name on the bar, and when I found word from Van city you moved your sorry ass up here. I felt inclined to visit.\"

Peter looked. \"Duane.. what do you want?\"

Duane shook. \"Information... what the fuck is the government planning?\"

Peter shook his head. \"I left the information game a long time ago Duane, you know that.\" Duane flipped his gun, pistol whipped Peter, then knocked his shotty looking laptop off the table, flipping the gun back and pointing it at Peters forhead.

\"Let me forget how much god damn money you owe me. And I ask for one little favor and you cower. I wasnt asking you a question. I am demanding information Peter. When I come back, in 4 days Peter.. or maybe even less. I want to know all you can find out about Senator Deftain, what the governments planning about Mutants. and I want it in a nice little file. And after that, I may concider forgetting to shoot your dick off for the 26,000 dollars you owe me. Fuck face.\"

Duane got up after his tirade and marched out of his office. looking at the snotty little punk that eyed him off, Duane without remorse pointed his gun, shot him in the shin, then kicked the guy right in the face. \"Tell me im not allowed in there... Punk. Have fun walking the next few days.\"
