Rosie pressed her hand against the window. Then she looked down. There was a bunch of buttons. She had no idea what any of them meant.
Agent May stomped towards the girl, as she spoke to the newbie. "They cannot be near eachother. You should have been told that!"
Rosie heard May behind her, and quickly slapped her hand down, pressing several buttons.
An alarm began to sound in Jerome's room, and the previously white toned light, turned red. Above the chair, the ceiling opened up and a spinning spike lowered from it, coming ever closer to the chair. Oxygen was staring to filter from the room. Lastly, the window turned clear, and Jerome was able to see into the next room.
May snatched Rosie away from the buttons and tossed her back to the newbie. She proceeded to turn off whatever had been turned on, reforming the room back to normal, and once more cutting off sight. "Take her back to her room!" she snapped.
Rosie tried to pull away from the newbie. "Wait! I at least need to speak to him."

Jerome,having caught a glimps of Rosie,grabed the vibranium and started smashing the window,trying to break through."I will not be kept away from her!"He yelled before realization struck him like a chair in the head.He remembered meeting Rosie after falling into an alley by missing a shot to the next building.He then remembered what he had seen of the room.It had been blurry but he remembered where the door was there was an open area.Looking down,he shot a beam that opened a hole and jumped into it.Another one appeared in the open area and he jumped out and grabbed Rosie and made spikes grow on him again,still holding the bar of metal."Ta-dah!"

The glass bent inwards, and cracks ran up the side of the glass.
"Look at what you have done! Quick, get the girl out of here!" Agent May shouted, backing away from the glass, and clicking onto the radio on her shirt. "Code red! Escapee in room 112! Need back up right away! Bring the suit." She was at the back of the room, farthest from the door, when Jerome jumped out of some sort of hole. Teleporting powers?! He had more than one power? They had made a terrible lapse of judgement.
The newbie jumped back into the hall, out of the room and the doorway when Jerome appeared. He was unable to keep Rosie at his side.
"Jerome!" Rosie exclaimed, looking up at him with happiness and relief.
The newbie fumbled at his belt and pulled out a gun. He shook as he pointed it at Jerome, a strange metal spiked monster of a man who miraculously appeared right in front of him, his eyes wild with fear. "R-remain where you are, m- m- mister!"

Enix looked offended, huffing as she shrugged her away, but not because of his actions... Rose seemed to accomplish plenty, for once the seed of doubt had been planted, it only grew. Holly stood still, before her eyes focused once more, and she let off a few coughs before simply sitting. A small smile came to her face, rather fake regardless, “Well, it’s been one heck of a birthday.” She started, and Kyoko could be heard grunting at the comment. “I’m...sorely confused about what in the world just happened to me, but I’m going to roll with it. Night’s gone, he can finally have peace in Dreamscape.” Enix glared her way, “You killed him.” She accused. Holly turned back, seemingly uninterested as she shrugged, “No, banished as I did with other demons. You, Enix, have no regard for judging another’s actions in regards to killing, in that field, my friend, you aren’t exactly innocent either.” She simply stated. Enix looked angry, and Daphne just sighed, Holly was right in that regard. Enix May have done so for the right reasons, but suggesting to kill, and causing death even to villains wasn’t ever an answer he would turn to. Not that Enix had done so herself, but she did suggest it, and acted with intent to do so. 13 let out a sigh of relief. "It's time we went home. Things have been sorted out." Standing up, he turned to face Rose with a frown and a set brow. "You've made a mess of yourself. But I'm done with fighting today. Your master is gone, and so you've no reason to fight either. Go home." And without waiting for a response, he turned again to face Enix. And held out his hand with a smile. "Are you okay?" He asked, a hesitant tone fearful of her answer.

Zed pulled out a couple large bottles of vitamin C, a couple pill containers, as well as a small capsule of an unknown liquid. He nodded all the while Hornet spoke. "Ah, so that's why you're here." He smiled to himself, and glanced the way Blink had left. The door he had exited was closed. Good. She glanced at the door, and seeing Blink gone, ventured her acquaintance. "Is he always so isolated? It's as if he does not even want my gratitude."

Rose’s eyes widened, and she seemed to smile, but not evilly so, “I’ll keep your words in mind, you’re a good fighter. But please bare mine in mind as well.” She added, her glare turned to Ollie, as if she could tell something was different to him. “Be careful about being accepting, those like him aren’t to be trusted,” she warned, before turning and walking out of sight.
Holly quirked a brow, but rolled her eyes. Yet she could feel the tension still, and she looked down.
Enix huffed, angrily, “Okay, no, I’m not fine. Little Holly here is supposed to be a hero, yet all she seems to do is joke around, and cause trouble!” She huffed out, anger on her eyes, “First it was Enthymema, then The lies, and then the other universe, and now this. And everyone just lets it happen, and I’m done with it!” She boomed.
Daphne’s eyes went wide, and he softly sighed, “Hey, Holly’s saved you a ton Enix...”
“In times when she shouldn’t have! A hero doesn’t just save friends, they do things for the greater good. She takes her lives for granted, she might have a ton, but she seems to forget that all of us, we only have one!” Enix retorted, looking at 13, “And he may not be able to truly die, but he’s more selfless than she,” She added, glaring in Holly’s direction.

Jerome laughed at the newbie's attempt at pulling a gun on him."Look,it was fun being here,but I have places to be.Now,if you'll kindly release Rosie's parents,"He extended a spike into the boy and May."I'll let you all go and you'll never have to see me again."

"Hey! Don't need escalate this. Come on, you and me, let's get out of here." He could tell she needed to vent. But doing so to Holly's face was not constructive at all.

Zed looked at her, and turned away from the table. He crossed his arms and met her gaze. "Waro's been like this for as long as I've known him. I've pieced together a few things about his past. From what I've heard, he used to have some close friends..." His frown changed into a smile when a new thought occured to him. "Though you're doing pretty good, considering. He's never brought anyone in here before." --- When Ollie met Rose's glare, he felt himself shiver from head to toe. If there was one thing he knew, it was that she was a very creepy lady. "Is she talking about me..? What did I do?" he thought aloud after she left, only loud enough for those nearest to him to hear. What had the pink-haired girl been doing here anyways. She had been attacking Holly. He didn't have much time to contemplate this however, as tensions seemed to rise in the group. He opened and closed his mouth, wishing that he could say or do something to stop all these negative words and feelings. --- The newbie shot off the gun, to no avail. He gasped when the spike stabbed into his side. "I don't know anything!" he cried out.
May was rather annoyed at the newbie right now. He was a very incompetent agent. She would have to deal with him later. When Jerome had shot out the spike, she had dodged in the nick of time. However, while the boy was in the open hall, she was cornered in the room. "They aren't here," she replied smoothly.

Jerome laughed."I didn't say they were here,did I?"He grinned."I'm not stupid enough to think that you'd put the collateral with the payment."He stood with his blurry gaze locked with May's."Now,release the parents or things will go to hell faster than you can put the ex in extinction."A ball appeared to form in his free hand.It seemed to be pulsating and getting bigger.

May had to tread carefully here. The man seemed much stronger than first anticipated. She couldn't afford to play dumb anymore. She couldn't use a smoke bomb to escape either. Jerome was standing in the doorway, her only escape to freedom. Even so, she knew something that they did not. Defeat crossed her face. "Fine, I'll do it," she conceded staring at the strange formation in Jerome's hand. She slowly reached for her radio and clicked it on. "Abort mission YZ74. I repeat; abort mission YZ74."

Jerome grinned."Now,I'm going to walk out of here with Rosie.And if someone tries to stop us I will gladly nuke this place."He started to back out of the door and whispered to Rosie."Careful,"He warned the girl."I know enough to know we're not safe yet."

Enix glared at him, but her eyes softened, “No, you don’t deserve that.” She murmured, and she sighed.
Holly looked like an abused puppy, but nodded to Ollie, “Yeah, I think she can sense your aura,” she murmured, and made quick eye contact with Arien, who nodded back to her before she silently teleported away.
Enix turned back to apologize, but Holly was gone, and her eyes turned sharp once more, “Whatever, all she does is run anyways.”

May watched him leave. He couldn't really nuke the place, could he? She wondered how he was going to find his way out of the underground maze of hallways. That is if he could.
Rosie looked up at him with a concerned look, and nodded. --- Ollie blinked and mouthed the word several times. "Aura?" But it was too late. Holly was gone. He recalled that sad look on her face and felt a twinge in his chest. He looked around at the rather forlorn looking group. This did not feel like a win.

Jerome started towards the nearest door.With any luck he could find someone to point them out of the place."Any idea where the exit is?"

Rosie shook her head. "But I did briefly see a flight of stairs on my way here." She didn't know what it was, but this place felt quite uncomfortable and stifling. She missed the feel of wind. Going up sounded like a good option. She dared to leave the safety of Jerome's shadow and jogged on ahead. "I think it was this way."

Jerome followed a little more cautiously and kept his senses alert."Ok,but be careful."

Post by Light on Apr 9, 2019 20:35:23 GMT -5
Rosie jogged through the white halls. She knew she should be careful, but she felt it was important to leave and soon. She wanted to get back to her parents before anything else could happen to them. Eventually, she came to a door. "I think this is it," she called out softly. She tugged the handle, but it was locked.

"Step back."Jerome warned and then walked up to the handle and started pummeling it with his fist and eventually broke it off and from there he pushed the door open.

Rosie stepped back and watched in amazement, as he broke off the door handle. She allowed a small smile to cross her face. She was glad he had come with her. The door opened, revealing a flight of stairs. She nodded her appreciation to him, and ran up the stairs. She slowed when they approached a platform, and made sure to peek around the bend to make sure there was nobody ahead of them, before moving on. The stairs eventually stopped at another door, Rosie put her hand on it, and glanced back at Jerome.

Jerome nodded to let her know he was ready to protect her and formed a spike in each hand.

Rosie smiled and opened the door. It was unlocked. However, on the other side was a group of agents in black and dark green outfits. All their guns were pointed towards them. These guns were ones of heavier caliber than your average gun. "Surrender now, and we will not shoot!" A man in the back called out.

"Or,you could surrender or I'll....well let's just leave it at that."Jerome replied.He formed a shield and was ready to drop it in front of Rosie and then formed a small ball with studs in his hand.

Post by Light on Apr 11, 2019 21:50:22 GMT -5
The agents waited no longer to fire on Jerome and Rosie. With the loud sound of firing guns, bullets flew across the space between them.
Rosie shrunk behind the sheild, her heart racing. It might just be the imagination, but there might have been a slight shifting of air in the hallway.

"Big mistake."Jerome growled as he got behind the shield and tossed the ball into the middle of the agents.Then the ball exploded and the studs shot out as spikes.He then threw two more,one to the left and one to the right.

Post by Light on Apr 11, 2019 22:56:20 GMT -5
Only a couple agents were left standing. Even they, had a couple spikes stuck in them. Realizing they had no chance against this guy, they retreated.
Rosie peeked past the shield and couldn't help but feel bad for the guys.
The hall ahead was clear, despite the wounded and dead agents laying on the floor.

"I warned them."Jerome shrugged and picked his way past the bodies."I wonder where the others went."

Post by Light on Apr 12, 2019 12:02:14 GMT -5
Rosie followed Jerome. "Sorry..." she murmured to the bodies, as she stepped thorough. Once past them, she stuck close to Jerome. "I don't know. Maybe they have a medical room...?" Surely they were getting help for their fallen comrades, right? They were nearing the end of the hall. At that point it opened left and right, though at their position so far, they couldn't see down the halls.

Post by Protractor on Apr 12, 2019 15:53:46 GMT -5
Jerome threw balls down each side and the one to the left went farther by the sound of it."We go left.Longer halls indicate some sort of room used for storing.Maybe we can get something to help us get out of here."

Post by Light on Apr 13, 2019 9:19:28 GMT -5
"Okay." Rosie murmured, glancing back one more time.
There was, in fact, a storage room at the end of that hall. In fact there was more than one. They were all locked, but that shouldn't be a problem for a guy like Jerome. The hall was also a dead end.
(If you feel like, you can be creative with what you find. ^^)
