**Main Cast**

**Salem******Leon Darby******Frostbite****Mo Ne Choi**
## **I**

PixelSiren: Frostbite had a bag slung over her shoulder with her street clothes in it, the same one she had used for her current warrior attire.  She'd followed the GCPD cars that contained Salem and the other girl, back to the station from overhead.  Changing before the light of day, she'd swap out clothes into her light blue tank top with her white pants, a black blazer, and converse.  She'd made sure she'd tucked her pistol away before exiting the scene from the night before.  She played around on the phone Salem had given her, fascinated slightly as she had already scoped out the scene from the rooftops and overheard a couple of cops talking about their early morning release.  Now, she waited patiently, leaned against a building across the street with her Ray Bans covering her vortex like orbs.

Staring blankly at the ceiling in the holding cell she was in, all Nicole could think about was just going home, or at least someone having the courtesy to explain what the hell had happened the night before. She closed her eyes and let out a huge sigh. "I'm 22 years old, and I definitely don't belong in jail." The nearby guard would shake his head, and continue with his paperwork. She grunted and crossed her arms, trying to comprehend the events of everything that had happened. 'Whatever, that Salem guy will probably tell me. Or he won't whatever..' She thought to herself. "Hey, when am I getting out of here?" The guard would continue to stay silent. "You don't have to ignore me you know?" Silence, "Whatever."

Mo sat extremely still as John sat beside her and spoke, “Balam, geunyang… meomchwoooo” He tiredly dragged out the word stop in Korean while setting his head back against the cold wall. Mo Ne ignored him, staring straight ahead and attempting to use her ability. The most she had gotten was her hair to float a bit as if a breeze had blown past. But by now her nose had begun bleeding. John peeked one eye open to see if she was listening, “Shit Balam, I said stop!” He gripped her arm and shook her, causing her to blink rapidly and look at him. “Do you have any ideas Jung! Please give me just one because i would love to hear it. Issni!?” He sighed and took her hand to which she just sighed in return and leaned her head back as well, now both of them looking beat up and ragged, just saving their energy for the next time another guard came in. Every time one did, they would fight, but being chained together did not work well for their usual coordination.

Katon: Eventually the news spread of the mess that covered Gotham’s streets the day before and Kendrick was quickly tracking. Leon who managed to pull a resurrection like himself had now become a candidate for the team he was putting together. Kendrick pulled up to GCPD station shortly after Nitra and the cops pulled in with Salem and the girl in custody. The now short haired cheerful superhuman had a classy suit and tie on with the usual as he walked in, he immediately requested a presence with Striker as he hoped to gain more information in return for some of the knowledge he held. All the cops actively there had jaw dropping expressions considering the entire city thought the man was dead, a casualty of war. Kendrick had never been so well, stronger than before with a clear objective.

PixelSiren: Frostbite's cloudy blue orbs scanned the area in front of the GCPD as she played with ice particles, letting them trail up and down her hands and palms.  All the while, it was daybreak, and the sun was out, gleaming against the frost particles on Nitra's skin.  She shrugged her bag on her shoulder for good measure as she was pent up against the wall.  One knee was bent as a light blue converse came in contact with the wall.  She huffed out a cloud of frost impatiently, it rolled out passed her light blue lips.  From a distance, one would simply think the blue haired female was smoking.

Finishing the last bit of paperwork, Nicole finally walked out the doors of GCPD. She immediately would pull the hood over her head. She didn't want to be seen, all she wanted was a shower and to put all the insanity behind her. That's when she happened to look up and see Nitra, the blue-haired lady from the night before. "I guess this is my life now." She spoke under her breath. She watched the smoke rising from Nitra's hands and tried to move along. 'Maybe she didn't see you. Maybe you're just imagining her existence. But wouldn't you not be walking out of jail if you were imagining it?' She would continue to argue with herself as she quickly walked down the sidewalk.

Keru:

Once it got close enough to the main wall of the base where they’d surely be hiding. Leon then ran backwards and in true Max Payne style, while slightly above the ground midair he jumped and placed both a bullet into the gas canister and then quickly to the Antifreeze both combining into a chain explosion which would make the truck implode on itself and then explode outwards against the wall. Easily making it crumble down and providing a huge gaping hole to walk in through.

At this point the entire TYGER unit would be focusing or training their weapons on this, Leon knew this. He was a cop after all with some slight military experience.

After the explosion, Leon would immediately cloak himself and then move through the hole he had successfully created. The dust and debris giving him a short amount of time to make a move while the TYGER unit tried to accurately respond to the situation at hand.

If un-seen and apprehended, Leon would’ve begun to search for some sort of prison quarters if they weren’t already in immediate sight.

PixelSiren: Frostbite would be glancing up quite often to observe her surroundings, and she finally thought she saw the girl from before emerge from the GCPD, but where was Salem?  She proceeded to follow the girl down the street, never even having gotten her name.  "Hey!"  She attempted to call out to her, running a bit to catch up as she made her way down the sidewalk on the other side of the street.  "Remember me from last night?"  Nitra would ask.  "I offered to help before I had to take off.  A sight like me kind of draws too much attention."  She briefly lowered her shades to remind the female of her vortex like light blue orbs before pushing them back into place.  "What's you name anyways?"  Nitra had caught up to her and was pacing along the female's side.

Leon would've came up toward's Miagani Island. Miagani Island is one of the three islands of central Gotham City. It's located south of Bleake Island, and east of Founders' Island. After a while a heavy storm would break out the nasty blizzard winds howling all over Gotham. Because of how close they were to the bay the platform had been soaked a small flood puddling on the ground; as the truck had stopped in the center of the strong hold. The base had been heavily enforced three spots lights had been shinning over each sections in the base each tower held a squad of four TYGER unit soldiers holding their Mechanical Reconfiguration weapons laser's lit. But below had been a massive army pulling out of the open base marching towards the truck as the driver had lowered his high beams. Right in the view of the truck had been Linus himself right next to him had been a dark slim figure. One couldn't tell the gender of this figure deep to a large black drape over the head of Linus Allie. In the figures hand had been a large umbrella which blocked the nasty rain from touching its appearance. As for Linus he stood in the rain , his dark brown eyes staring into the back of the truck as his men opened Mo and John could be seen.

His confident smile came to a end just seeing the Lawyer and a face he cant ever recall seeing in his life. "What is this! What is this you bring me?!" The Unit coming out the truck had looked confused they believed this is what their commander wanted, "Where is the Dumas boy.." The Unit would've went on how Leon and this Laywer had foul their plans believing having Leon as a assit would help them reach the Dumas in Wayne Corp. The only issue was \*BOOOOM!\* As the main captain of the Unit brought dead on the floor from Linus gun fire he would've said "I didn't order it.." If Leon could seen from the storm and from underneath the car he would've noticed the Muramasa Blade, the one from the museum."I want them in the lower sectors no one touches them until I get there." The unit would've quickly pulled Mo and her friend in the heavy rain pulling her by her collars. If she was still able to take notice of what was going on she would've noticed the long shallow hallways the base held inside. She would feel the brisk wind of the AC hitting her wet skin as they dragged her along the long sector she would soon be pulled inside a elevator. One of the TYGER unit men had pulled out his ID card placing it in the slot key, one he placed it inside the elevator would began to move down. It took them a total of ten min before the doors would soon open; dragging Mo before tossing her inside all white room.

Inside the room would've been a bed and a couple books on the desk; as they shut the door on her she would've only got to see what was in front of her door. Due to the small thick squared shape window on her door. -Meanwhile- After the explosion hit Linus would rise from his office witning the fire. He would turn to his hooded friend with a smirk.

"It seems we have guest."

() TYGER unit would've gotten to the location just seconds after it happened, it would've been hard for Leon to tell due to Their suits are noise resistant to boot, fully insulated/fireproof, with thermal cloaking and linigs of lead to prevent interearence from X-ray's with built in Chaff frequencies int he forehead/cowl area of the outfit to prevent motion detection. He would actually need to see them, but as he traveled he would soon make his down an hollow hallway before hearing the voices of a group not only coming in front of him but behind him. He had two choices to his left had been a venting shaft he could easily slip into the second was to alarm the base of his presence due to it being a narrow hallway even if they couldn't see him there would be no room to squeeze through this army. If he in deep took the vents his body would've fell about 15 feet down landing in the trash depot of the sector. If Leon could still smell his nose would be burning from the toxic waste they dispose here, around would've just been glowing waste and trash. There was door ahead if Leon would take it, it would lead him in Sector D.

As Salem had been released  he was surprised at was how well Bell was able to lie to the GCPD on to what happened. Pushing the small door open Salem would've  noticed Nitra up the floor from the GCPD window he would reached Nitra scratching the back of his head "How long were you out here?"  After Leon's appearance Salem and the rest of the group had a lot of catching up to do. Upon leaving Salem eyes wold fall towards Knight who had shown his face now to the whole public rolling his eyes this was too much. It seemed Knight wished to speak to Striker who had no been in today it was his day off he was with his family. Not even walking over Salem would perform a low whistle towards Knight if it got his attention he would say. "So you really are alive huh? Something tells me your more into this than I think..I just hope your not on the wrong side.." But as Salem walked he would look over to Bell "Wait they released you  before me?"

Her kicking, struggling and scratching barely affected the men as she was pretty sluggish about it. By now her shoulder had gone completely numb, but the pain in her side from the earlier array of bullets Leon had unwittingly let off slowed her down. She caught herself, keeping herself from falling as they threw her into the white room. Just as she turned the door slammed shut, the last thing she was able to see was the smirk on the asshole’s face. He got a kick out of letting his hand ‘slip’ in the long elevator ride. Her glare burrowed into his eyes, making him falter just a bit before turning and pointing to the cell next to her, where they unceremoniously dropped John. They had long knocked him out with a firm whack on the back of his head. Mo Ne slowly walked to the door and pressed her palm to it and then her forehead, standing there for a long moment. With a deep jagged breath to keep from falling apart, she looked around the room. Eying the books, she touched the dampener collar on her neck. “That my friends is where you’ve fucked up.” She made her way to one of the thankfully modern books and smashed it across the room against the door. The pieces flew apart and she quickly moved to the floor, sweeping through them until she found the pieces she needed. Mo then sat on the floor and closed her eyes, feeling and fiddling with the collar where it clamped together. If given enough time, she could crack it, just like she did that suitcase full of cash all those years ago, and the many windows she’s broken into. Thank gods for technology.

Keru: |LD|- Everything had gone to plan, Leon had successfully blown a hole into the facility and made his way in, but just as predicted the opposition was fast on the move, so using his enhanced capabilities. He leaped and used the Osmium blade on his left arm to stick into the roof. Making sure to bend it so he could hover/lay flat against the top of it.

 While his left arm did one thing, his right did another. Gripping a grenade that come from out of his body. He heard the footsteps coming from both directions. Behind him where he had made his entrance and from another hallway. Either way it was coming and coming fast. Leon using the integrated computer voice yelled. “HEY!” To catch the attention of the oncoming infantry. Hopefully making them move faster. But the real reason behind the hey was to allow the pulling of the grenades pin to go through without being heard by either of the party.

Once both parties intersected into the corridor, Leon cooked the grenade long enough and immediately drop it from midair. The second after his hand let go of it the next two seconds as it hovered above each of their heads the grenade exploded. Not only sending plenty of shrapnel aiming to pierce their heads or other body parts but it also contained a small explosion. Enough force to rattle the body of those closest and kill them instantly. As for the rest, they’d be blown back and surely stunned. Which a stun was all he needed to finish the rest of the job. After the dust began to fill the hallway and everyone was locked in a state of confusion he dropped from the ceiling down into the mix and with both of his osmium blades out he began to slay and cut through the remaining men. Their screams of terror and anguish as Leon gutted them would surely cause the men closest to an exit to run, but even then, that was safe from his speed. 2 of the original unit would escape from Leon’s initial entrance point while the rest died at his feet. The dust cleared and only Leon remained in the pile of bodies. Leon now un-cloaked, wanting his presence to be seen to cameras as he now followed the hallway which would presumably lead him farther into the facility.

PixelSiren: Frostbite would glance over her shoulder to Salem, who'd apparently just been released as well.  She smiled as her caught up to her and the female from the night before, happy to see him. "I followed you guys here last night and posted up in a motel down the way." She made a hand gesture toward one end of the street.  "I made my way back here early this morning after I overheard some cops talking about you getting out last night."  She did a pretty good scouting job all in all.  "So, how was jail?  Do they feed you in there?  I heard humans need to eat food."  She stated pacing along in her street wear with her pistol tucked away in her bag along with her hero suit. The black leather bag was slung over her shoulder casually, matching her blazer.

As Leon had begun to cut through the foot soldiers, a set of footsteps could be heard coming from the end of the large hallway. Just as two attempted to run they would've gotten in the way of their Captain full dressed in the TYGER unit exo suit. In his hand had been his Mechanical Reconfiguration weapon at the moment it was in the shape of a electric baton. With his boosters he would've attempted to burst into Leon's side the force if hit would send Leon through the wall of their Sector. Tiles on the ceiling would began to crumble above as the blaring sounds of horns could be heard. If Leon choose to run down the narrow hallway in order to seek Mo the Captain wouldn't be too far behind. It would've been a vast chase within Sector E, If Leon had been rushing down the base's sector he would began to see signs and arrows pointing to different sections. Guards who would join the chase would attempt to open fire in the hallway attempting to hit Leon, bullets would spray everywhere hitting everything. From glass windows to wooden doors, but just ahead of Leon would be the lower gates attempting to close him in. Time was important who knows how well Leon would do against the massive army at his back. If Leon would've noticed just behind the the closing gate had only been one Unit maybe the key to figuring out were his beloved had been?

"Jail..Well it was Jail..Hey Nitra there something I need to take care off" Salem would've said towards her after the image of Rowan last night, something had been calling Salem..Calling him back home, he didn't even kind of wait for a response slowly walking off still being able to hear Nitra or Bell if they did say something as he had been moving, it would've been weird but Nitra knew he would be in contact she did have his phone after all.

Keru: |LD|- Due to Leon’s focus on just running forward the captains quick Exo suit had surely caught him off guard and he was slammed into and eventually through a wall. But as he flew instead of being completely thrown off his momentum, he used the help of his Icarus landing system boosters to crash right back into the man. Both of Leon’s hands gripping on the Exo suit and he stared him directly in the eyes before using his immense strength to crush the armor inwards onto the captain’s body. Easily killing him. By the time, they re-appeared. Leon threw the captains body through the nearest wall into the new sector. Leon then appeared from the rubble of the wall with some of his skin grafting beginning to show tears and some of his robotic skeleton showing. But Leon couldn’t take a second to think over things. He continued to run at top speed. Rushing down hallways like a speeding car and his heavy chassis being heard with every step. Once taking the turn into sector E, behind Leon he could hear the numerous footsteps of TYGER unit men. They even beginning to take some shots at him, the gun shots kept clipping off him and tearing into his skin graft even more. After turning a corner, he noticed at the end of a hallway a gate was coming down and closing fast. He only had one way to go at this point so he made his choice. Turning the corner gave him a short amount of time to do something without being seen, so he pulled the pin on his last grenade that he took from his body and held it until the army’s footsteps appeared to be hitting the corner. Then he low-ball threw said grenade and let it roll on the ground. Two seconds later it exploded and ripped into the big crowd. Sending an explosion and dust way behind Leon.

Only one crew remaining and in front of him was a closing gate. It would be close but he could make it. Leon moving at top speed, his arms and legs moving almost in slow motion at this point and then he took to the floor and extended out his entire body flat and slide just under the door as it closed tightly in front of him, but it wasn’t over yet.

**The close call**

Using the momentum, he had left he tucked and rolled into a ball backwards through the unit and using his feet boosters to propel him back up into a standing posture with his railgun aimed at them.

In Mo Ne's cell the clank of the power dampener was barely audible over the distant explosions and ruckus going on. Mo furrowed her brow over that but focused on the more important task. Standing in front of the imposing door, she took a long deep breath. She closed her eyes and pulled her good arm to her chest. She took this time to remember that dark night when she first realized her freakish talent. //Flashback// “Yea I got something to fill your pocket little girl, but how about you show a foreigner around?” Mo could only understand a few words of english at the time so she caught, pocket, and show foreigner. Not catching what he meant but able to decipher it by his hand motions. After only a few minutes of walking, him deciding where he wanted to go, she found herself in a place void of traffic and onlookers…//Present// Mo squeezed her eyes tighter and screamed with all her breath just like that night, a whirlwind spinning up in front of her in less than 3 seconds. The bed, books, and pieces of broken tech flew around the room just before she thrust her hand towards the door. The whirlwind followed the motion and slammed into the door with enough force to smash it off its hinges and about an inch deep into the wall behind it. Her arm fell to her side and she swayed a little, her eyes watering and her nose bleeding once again. Ignoring the dizziness, she  slowly stepped from the room, luckily to see the guard that had been outside of their doors laying in the rubble. With a slight sigh of relief, she went to the door beside hers and looked through the small window.

— Inside, John had already been standing tensely, waiting for whatever was making all the racket to make its way down this hall or stop altogether. When he heard the scream from next door, his heart dropped. But his panic soon subsided with the incredible sound of metal on fiberglass and steel. He relaxed entirely seeing Mo Ne at his window, immediately going to it and analyzing what he could see of her body. “Neo wae geuleoge mumoinga?” (Why are you so reckless?) Offering a small smile, she shook her head in answer, only problem, she didn’t have it in her to pull it off again to get John out.

As Nitra spoke to Nicole she stayed quiet up until the point Salem had caught up to them. With a sigh, "My name's Nicole Bellgrath. I uess it's nice to meet you too." She tried to keep her face covered as they walked along. Curiosity struck her when Nitra made the food comment. "You aren't human..?" She spoke quietly, kind of shocked. "Woah, that's cool." She would smile for a ssecod before going back to her emotionless face. 'Weirder and weirder...'

"So how are you going to handle this little situation Linus?" The Dark hooded figure would've spoke towards his partner, he sat perfectly straight in his hands had been a semi filled coffee mug which he took sips of. Linus on the other hand had been already been prepping his amazing escape this base had been nothing to him now. He had been in his office watching Leon take out his Foot soilders. It was so brave to see the Pawn detivice act as a Bishop, He meant Leon was a always moving massively around Gotham. But the thing about chess is a Bishop can only move till it reaches a  obstacle; then it's useless. Leon had been a pawn in this huge game, speaking of Leon things were getting a bit hectic as he now held two soldiers at gun point. When he called out and asked for the Mayor's location the TYGER unit foot solider would've shot his own partner and than himself blood would splatter around the area. As these bodys would fall into the pavement Leon had a choice to check what had been around him or the bodies below. //Meanwhile//\*Crassssh\* Just as Mo busted the door down with her ability a near-by solider who had been patrolling their area would've shot their hand Gun. Firing three shots aiming to pop her in her knee cap, if the blow had landed Mo body would automatically drop to the ground leaving a pool of blood below. If he however did miss this TYGER Unit would go into his com "This is lane 12 on Sector F I have the target.. I repeat we have the target." If he indeed missed the Unit would've placed his back to the wall reloading his bullets awating for her to move for him to strike.

Mo would turn her head at the sudden firing in reflex and surprise, throwing her arm up in front of her to bring a gust of wind across and up to the right of her. The trajectory of the bullets would swing suddenly veering to the right as she quickly moved left. They passed by her leg where they were aimed, immediately followed by John yelling at her. "MOVE!!" She flinched at the sudden command but she didn't stop there. Without a look back, she knew better, Mo took off down the next hall. Unfortunately, this was taking her towards the explosions she had heard earlier and she was getting dizzy from how quickly she had used her power just after hitting her limit. She didn't stop running, hearing more shouts not far behind and knowing bullets would be flying next.
-John would kick the door in frustration, running a hand through his dark red hair. He couldn't help her now, she was on her own and so was he. Somehow he felt relieved.

Keru: |LD|- When Leon asked the question he looked at the soldiers with an intense stare and his robotic eyes moving back and forth between the targets. But before he could even do anything, one of the men shot his partner then shot himself. Falling dead and Leon only gritted his teeth. “Damnit!” Shortly after the men died, Leon heard a large crash. As if something heavy was just thrown into a wall. Metal crunching into metal, a sound he couldn’t forget. It wasn’t far either. Leon then took off down towards the hallway that lead towards the sound of the metal. After going past two corners he then saw Mo, running directly towards him. “MO!” He yelled out to her as he ran up right next to her. His body obviously showing signs of damage and his skin shot/blown off in certain parts.

PixelSiren: Frostbite would double check her sling bag for the smart phone Salem had given her before he dismissed himself for other matters.  Now it was just the two females, as they continued to walk down the sidewalk.  "Well, nice to meet you Nicole, and as I said before, my name is Frostbite, but you can call me Nitra."  She chuckled as Nicole remarked on how she wasn't human.  "I'm a Frost Alien, if you were wondering.  I'll tell you all about why I ended up here some other time."  As they continued to walk along, blast and explosions could be heard from a distance, likely only audible to Nitra if Nicole was fully human.  "For now, let's head over in this general direction, I think I heard something." She would adjust the Ray Bans on her ice cold face and brush her light blue hair over her pointed ears as best she could.

Nicole agreed to walk along with Nitra, how else she was going to spend her day? It's not like she had anywhere to be. She would pull off her green hoodie and tie off the arms around her waist revealing the many scars on the visible parts of her body. Pulling out a cigarette and lighting it she would look at Nitra. "What exactly happened last night, and why am I being roped into this?" She would calmly speak, but in her mind she was raging. Nothing had been brought up yet and she was dying for at least a tiny explanation.

PixelSiren: Nitra noticed her many scars, wondering what had happened to her, but that was a conversation for later.  She shrugged as they walked along.  "You were just in the wrong place and the wrong time is all."  She stated in response to Nicole's question.  "I'm not quite sure who was after us, or rather, Salem and I, at all actually."  She assumed that whoever had attacked them had been out for Salem since he seemed to be their main target.  "I wonder what he had to go take care of."  She would muse, anticipating her arrival at the place where all the blasts and explosions were occurring. She tugged at her blazer and smoothed out her light blue tank top, still adjusting to her new attire.

As Leon pushed on through the Strong hold he would began to notice how twisted Linus had been, the head of TYGER unit held all of their enemies. Giving them a fate worst than death each and every last person who stood in TYGER Unit way had been right before Leon; caged in a small cell. Each Door held dates, if Leon would put two and two together he would've figure out the dates represented their capture day. Each and everyone of them had started to loudly bang on their cells pleading Leon for his help. Some yelling about their families and other yelling just to get free who knows how long these men been down here in the boils of this operation? But one man would break from the rest his door date said 4/29/2004! We are in the year 2050 the sight of the date should've frighten Leon and Mo both. He was a rather old man to say the least his appearance made it believe he had been many wars. Medals pinned to his chest black army vest, from the moment he reached the window to speak the other men would quiet down. As they were allowing this one man to speak for them. "We..I mean I can get you guys out of here..My men here will protect you because at the rate this is going, there going to bomb this base. I've been here for too many years to die now, help us and we help you.."But just in that moment the sounds of TYGER corp attacking the wall Leon had slid under earlier on. Leon would have two options he could either trust this mans word or he could attempt to find another way out through the upper floors through section 4.  If Mo had paid attention earlier she would've noticed a key card right from the male's hip and just left had been an elevator. Everything depended on these choices how would Leon and Mo react to the situation at hand?
