(She sounds really cool, Sam! Shadow is OP to an extent, but itβs not really much, just phasing and stuff, she doesnβt understand her abilities too well, and probably never will. The other character Iβll be bringing in soon will understand theirs...to an extent.) (Danke! I've been working on her during my free time at school. She and Mikey might be some of my most in-depth characters in a while... can't wait to use em!)

She saw her die? Was that in the memories that transferred? No it couldn't be... He set that thought aside for later and straightened when Shadow looked in his direction. "What would that make us, if we left her in pain, when she could be saved?" Ollie took in a breath. "We'll save your friend and Holly. And any of the other shades that can be saved." He glanced at Enix and Ress. "And we'll get your powers back," he looked out over each person there. "And we'll stop Orion." Not necessarily in that order, but these were the points he was hoping to achieve.
"But for tonight, we take the stones from Orion," he glanced around at the others, particularly Shadow and Evanesce, waiting for correction or affirmation. "I'm guessing once we have them, we'll have to act fast."
--- (For Blink, I suppose for now. :3 White will do.)
Blink tapped the papers against his other hand. "Maybe. If you let me come with you," he replied, his voice dead serious. Something about his tone made it sound like he'd have it no other way, or perhaps it was that look in his eyes. Either way, he wasn't planning on backing down.

Come with her? So, he was interested in how superhumans had gone under as well. Desperately she wanted to ask if he had a loved one looking for this cure, but there wasn't any reason to wonder; Katie obviously wouldn't be changing his approach. She lowered her gun. "You're getting into something very dangerous here, hun." Katie murmured. "From what I can tell, the plan will result in a few dozen felony charges against the United States government."

Blink smirked, as if something about getting a felony charge against the government was amusing. "I've been through worse." If the government knew all that he had done in his past, he'd likely have been put behind bars or worse a long time ago. His alias as Waro was finished. Blink was back, full-time. Seeing that her gun was lowered, he flipped through the papers as he walked towards her, blinking down at them and taking mental pictures. He stopped about five feet away, closed the file and held it out. "Besides, they've had it coming for a while." The smirk didn't reach his eyes, but it was the closest to a smile he'd been in a long time.

His excessive blinking was, odd, but it was dusty in the hospital after all. Katie took the files into her hand, and after putting it behind her back, it disappeared. "If you wish to join this mission, I'll have to know my partner. Who are you?" She asked once more.

"You can call me Blink," he stated simply, his smirk fading. There were some stories about a fighter of the night, someone who tested the powers of the heroes and villains who weren't well known. Even this knowledge was sparing. If a person dug even deeper... far, far deeper into the name Blink, they might find the stories of thievery connected to a group of kids. But that knowledge was practically wiped clean. It would be a shock if someone had found access to that info.
Something was strange about the way she retrieved and put away things behind her. Another thing to add to his mental cache of notes. "What is your planned point of intersection?" He started reviewing the mental pictures he took of the files, looking for a sort of map or route. If there was a bridge, that would make a good point of intersection- at least in his opinion.

It was the least she knew, as all she cared about was that day the people around it. "Before I answer your question, answer mine. What do you know about the comatose states, and why do you care? Surely a rough and tough antihero like yourself doesn't feel responsible for 1 out of every 10 super humans going into a coma."

Blink nodded, his expression darkening. When she asked the question, his expression hardened and he turned, taking a few steps away. He paused at a doorway. "After the fight... I thought everything would be fine. I thought..." He stopped and shook his head. "She won't wake up. We've tried everything humanely possible." When he spoke, his voice was quiet, leaking some of the brokenness he felt inside. He hated it. He hated himself for it. After a few long sentences of silence, he turned, his icy eyes burning with more intensity than before. "I am going to get that cure. Nothing will stop me from getting that cure back to her!"

So, he had someone he was trying to save, like herself. Katie let a smile upon her lips, then chuckled to herself. When he gave a look, she held up a hand. "I-I'm not laughing at you. It's just, you and I both want the same thing, and yet we started off so hostile. I'm glad we talked instead. We'll save the people we care about, I promise." Katie moved the gun it of sight behind her, and it vanished. Then, the young woman stuck her hand out towards Blink. "I'm Katie. Some press was established over my fight with Tornado in Florida last year, where they called me "Copperfield" after a world famous magician by the same name. So, there you go."

Blink glared at her, but he felt some of his own hostility fading. She spoke in a way that made her easy to trust, but he mustn't become careless. She extended her hand and he stared at it for a long while. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not your friend. I'm just doing this for her," he told her in a low voice. It was better for them both to keep his distance with this temporary partnership. He left her hand suspended in the air.

They shared a common goal, and yet he was still so distant. "Fine. We'll get this done for 'her' then." She muttered, glancing into the doorway at her silent brother. "If you heard when the attack was, then I'll tell you where. Take yourself to the top floor. You'll see a river south. Down that river east and the third bridge is our target. 3pm sharp."

βYou wonβt get them.β Shadow grumbled, glaring off to the side. Oh, she was making so many risks for these people. βBut we can try, just donβt be disappointed in what you get.β
βOh, youβll see, I canβt see the future like my counter part. But I know itβll be a spectacle...β Evanesce commented, snickering, before turning around, looking at Ollie, βGet ready, my friend, the tables will be turning.β
Meanwhile, Orion stood, Shades surrounding him, with their eyes flickering around, his gaze turned to one in particular, Umbra, as he gave off an ugly smirk, βYou said theyβll be here.β
βYes, Orion,β she stressed him name, she never called him βMasterβ, βItβs sure to be a great event.β She hid a smile.

Blink nodded. Good. She seemed to know what she was doing. He briefly followed her gaze to the room she had been in minutes before. Having not looked into the room, he presumed that her 'loved one' was inside. "Got it. I'll see you there."
Turning, he walked away. He was already forming a mental map in his head with all the knowledge of the area as he could muster, but to see it from her suggested vantage point should clarify in his mind where it was. --- Ollie looked at Shadow and smiled softly in spite of the situation. "That's all that I ask." He knew he was making all his words sound incredibly positive. It was on purpose. In reality, he was terrified. Rates of success were low, and chance of death was very, very high. But... If he did nothing, he knew he'd end up regretting it. In the meantime, he had to keep up everyone's moral. He had to keep the hope alive, because without hope-? There was nothing. "I just wish we had some more manpower..." he murmured to himself. They hadn't been able to find Blink and Hornet, and all that was left was Ress, Enix and Saloni. He avoided meeting their gazes. Ress and Enix no longer had their powers, and he didn't want them to be in the line of fire if fighting broke out. There was Shadow, but that made only two of them. He didn't know if he'd be able to free Cass or any of the other shades in time. He lifted his gaze to Evanesce, who seemed to know more than she was letting on. "What happens if we don't get the stones this time?" After all, she said they had to go tonight if they wanted to save Holly... If they failed tonight, would Holly be past saving?

Shadow stared intently at Ollie, underneath the hopeful facade, she could sense his doubt, his worry. She gulped, feeling remorse all of a sudden, flashes of a seeing a past acquaintance falling to death flashing in her mind, eating her alive. βNo, we donβt...donβt have to worry about that.β She interjected, drawing the attention of the the ghost and the two other girlβs, βIβll do it. He wonβt know what hit him, I wonβt fail you.β

Ollie blinked in surprise at her sudden change of attitude. He glanced at Evanesce, then back to Shadow. Shadow was right. This wasn't the best question to ask in front of everyone else. Besides, if tonight failed, they'd likely never get another chance like it. They just had to get those stones tonight. That was all there was to it. He dipped his head. "Then I'll have faith in you." Ollie said with a steady gaze and a smile. And if something went wrong, he would be there to back her up. He looked like he wanted to say more, but he didn't. It was something best said when the two of them were alone.

βItβll be best if they go alone,β Evanesce suggested, glancing at Enix and Ress, before looking at Ollie, βBe ready, youβre expectations wonβt be a reality, boy, itβs just a matter of what you can accept.β With that, they once again faded away.
βI guess itβs high time we went,β Shadow suggested, forcing a smile, βAre you ready?β She questioned Ollie.

Ollie didn't think he'd ever get used to being called 'boy' by a child, even if that child was actually older than him. He watched as the creepy being vanished and part of him was glad she was gone. She had been a lot of help, but her words never failed to creep him out. He looked at Shadow and nodded, holding out his hand with his expression reflecting hers. Then he fumbled for a moment when he remembered that she preferred to hold his coat, and he awkwardly began to lower his hand. --- (Chloroform: Okay, I'll sum it up in a post after this. ^^)

Ringo smirked from where he was sitting.
Whisper watched him with a vague look of disgust. How could he enjoy something so cruel? Sure, she had been the one to incubate Rosie's fear and confusion, but dragging it out this long was just sick. Alpha was seated with his eyes closed. It was as if he could feel the storm outside. Whisper looked up at the ceiling. Even she could almost feel this storm. The noise gradually increased. Pretty soon, the entire room began to shake and tremble. Some dust fell from the ceiling. Whisper looked at Alpha in alarm, but he continued to sit there, calm as ever. Whisper let out a breath. She ought to trust Alpha's instincts. His instincts were rarely wrong. Suddenly it was silent, but it was hard to believe with the noise from moments earlier ringing in her ears. Alpha's eyes opened. "It is done," he said. --- The storm disappated with the falling of he child named Rosie. She had wandered a few blocks, egged on by Ringo's illusions. But the power was too much. She soon collapsed in the street, weak and unconscious. The tornado gave out and the clouds were beginning to disperse. Ringo dropped most of his illusions, and misted into form beside Banshee. "There, now we know what she's capable of. Now it's your turn. Pick her up and take her back to the base." He smirked then. "Don't worry about being seen, I'll cover you." It would normally be a nice sentiment, but Ringo made it sound almost mocking.
(Eh. I'll just do colour for Ollie for now. XD)

Shadow smirked, βYou can see my presence, right?β She questioned, turning around, as her form faded, but her voice wafted, βOrion has been looking for you, so maybe if you follow me, we can distract him. In the meantime, we should probably go,β it may be odd, speaking without a form, but she simply grinned and turned, heading for the door and waiting for him.

Ollie nodded. Now that he knew where she was to begin with, he could sort of sense her movements in the remembered realm. Before following her to the door, he turned to Enix and Ress and smiled genuinely at them. "Take care of yourselves while I'm gone," he said, giving them both a thumbs up with his metal arm. The arm Ress had made. He silently thanked them for all that they'd done for him. Then he turned and walked to the door to join Shadow.

Shadow looked at the two girls, Ress and Enix, a final time, before walking off, eyes focused ahead of her in determination, but also fear.
Ress waves, smiling back, returning the sentiment, βBe careful, Ollie.β She bid, sighing softly as Enix remained silent.
