(Veronica ran down the hallway to where the elevators were located.He pressed the button and waiting for the doors to open. She began tapping her foot, as if that would make the elevator arrive faster. As she waited for the doors to open, Veronica wondered how powerful the mutants might be. "What if I can't stop them?" she thought to herself. Then out of the blue, she remembered. Reaching into her pocket, she withdrew a piece of paper. It was the number of Generation Next's mansion, given to her by Kitty Pryde the day before. Veronica was to call them if there was ever danger. If she ever needed them, now was the time. At that moment, the elevator doors opened and she stepped inside. She reached for the ground floor button and the doors closed. Grabbing her cell phone, she dialed the number and began to call, waiting for anyone to pick up.)

Down below, Pavati was pacing in her cell, which to her was more like a cage. She was starting to forget why she was put in this place and her hunger was returning. Suddenly, she heard the alarm go off and she let out a long, loud locator howl. She was calling out for help. The white wolf was getting scared from the loud alarm and the flashing red lights.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Down the hall, a young man about 21 was sleeping in the small bed that had been provided for him, a blanket covering his head. Streaks of dirty white and red hair hung in front of his face. He was in here for spying and armed robbery. As the alarms went off, he opened his eyes to show that his right eye was a brilliant sliver-blue and the left was a bright yellow, almost gold, but the color wasn't was strange. His pupils were slitted like a cats. As he raised his head, the blanket that had covered his head slid off showing off the fully functional cat ears and showed he had no human ears. His face was deformed to look like it was changing into a muzzle. He got off the bed, walking on the balls of his feet, which were slightly furred.
The boy smiled slightly, exposing his fangs, a crazy look beind his bi-colored eyes, "Perhaps... today is the day I get out."

Marcus suddenly stopped. He heard a noise but he couldn't figure out what it meant, and it meant something. He closed his eyes to think for a moment. Meanwhile Jack was caught off guard by his partner's sudden stop. He looked quizzically at the shifter but decided not to bother the man.
After a few moments Marcus realized what the sound meant. It was a locater sound. He responded instinctively with a howl that started off high and leveled out at the end. Then he turned to Jack and said "We have a shifter here." Then rushed past to find the triplets, who where close now. So close that Marcus almost ran them over. "Well there you three are!" He said slightly sarcastically.

(The triplets turned to Marcus. Looking at Marcus, they noticed that he had changed his physical form. This was not a good sign and the triplets knew that they were caught.)
Nick: Looks like our element of surprise was a failure.
Alex: And I guess waiting was a complete waste of time... James! Now is the time to take action into my own hands.
(Alex walked over to the door and punched it several times with massive force. The door stood strong and stable, not a dent on it. He shook his hands to relive the pain in his hands. Alex backed away from the door, frustrated with himself.)
James: I told you so.
(He smiled cockily while Alex flipped him off. James then turned to Jack.)
James: We found the cell where the mutants are located. We figured that we should wait for you Jack, so that you can open the doors without triggering the alarm. But I doubt that's worth the try now. Can you open the door?

Jack thought about it for a bit. He could try but it would be harder with the firewalls up. "Well I could try." He said. As the technopath went over to the door to unlock it Marcus was getting antsy. He could hear people coming, and they where close. He reverted to his human form to have the police officers think that he was as vulnerable as the rest of his group. AS soon as Marcus peeked around the corner he heard someone shout "Stop!" He instinctively raised his gun and fired. It was a sloppy shot and it missed horribly, but it made the police officers go for cover. "Hurry up, Jack @$$!" The shifter ordered. Then a shot went right past his ear. He took better aim and shot off another shot, hitting the officer in the leg. "How many are there?" Jack asked. "At least three, depending on if the guy I shot is persistent." Marcus replied. Then deciding that the process was taking too long, he turned handed the pistol to one of the triplets, pushed Jack out of the way. He forced his way into anthro form and sliced his fingers into the crevice between the two doors and began to pull the doors apart. when he got them wide enough for human hands not edged with adamantium, he turned to Alex and said, "A little help would be nice!"

(Nick took the gun and aimed it at the officers,. He fired the gun twice, only to find out that it was now empty. James's hands began glowing red. He extended his palms forward firing a radiation beam with his left hand. Then firing another with his right, and back to shooting another with his left and so on. His attacks struck two of the officers. They let out blood screeching screams as the radiation began to burn the clothing and flesh where James had struck them. The officers retreated around the corner for cover. James continued firing his radiation beams to keep them back. Meanwhile, Alex was not wasting any time. Alex ran over to Marcus's side and placed his hands in between the space of the door. He was then able to pull the door open. The mechanism in the door was forcing itself to close and Alex knew he couldn't hold it forever. Alex turned toward his teammates.)
Alex: Door's open!! I'll hold it while you guys get inside!!
(Nick ran inside while his brother continued holding the door for everyone. James shot a few more blasts before getting through as well.)

Marcus pulled Alex though the door so that the boy wouldn't get squished between the doors. Then he looked around at heir surroundings to find that they where in a single hallway lined with doors that looked to be at least a foot thick, several of which had dents in them. "So do you know which one is which?" Marcus asked Jack. "I have no idea." Jack replied. And then started to walk and read nameplates. Marcus followed Jack's example and walked down the line reading nameplates on the other side of the hallway.

(Veronica was getting impatient calling the mansion. The elevator doors flew open when finally someone on the opposite end answered.)

Pavati's ears went back as she saw Marcus passing. She had seen plenty of wolf-men, but none made of metal and this scared her. She growled low in her throat and launched herself at the bar, fear and rage mixed it her bright blue eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------ Ryuu padded up to his bars to watch the wolf. She was a new face and it didn't seem like she was a criminal. He had recongnized the one girl that had come down with her though, Kitty Pryde, an X-Man and a senior one at that. The cat wondered what the X-Men would want with the wolf girl.

Marcus jumped back in surprise at the sudden ferocity of the prisoner. Jack on the other hand just looked blankly at Marcus as if to say "Well what did you expect?" "We got a live one!" Marcus exclaimed. "Well, I would hope so!" Jack said sarcastically. "If there was a dead one then I would write to the city about it!" Marcus was about to retaliate when he realized that Jack was kidding. They both moved down the line when Marcus thought up something."Why are we going one at a time to find out where Winterfire is?" "Do you have a better idea?" Jack retaliated. "Yes."Marcus answered. "Then what would it be?" "The control room." Marcus said. Then he turned to the triplets and asked, "Did you see it on the way here?"

Ryuu leaned forward and cleared his throat, "Control room is one level up. But why don't you just let us all out. That little wolf is a friend of an X-Man from what I can gather. If you don't find what you're looking for... they might give the information in exchange for the little pup." His silver eye twinkled as he looked to Pavati who just snarled up at Marcus, her ears pinned flat to her head.

"I don't think she likes me all that much." Marcus responded. Then a thought hit him. "Wait. Which version of first floor? American or European?"
Jack looked at the cat-like man. Then looked at the triplets and asked "If we just open them all, would that count as clearing the mission?"

Ryuu rolled his eyes, "You see all the blood on the floor. That's her blood. I'd say it's her first Change. She's scared. Also... the control room is not on Level One... it's one level up. Baka." His last word was whispered Japanese: moron.

(The triplets turned to Jack. Nick was the first one to respond to his suggestion.)
Nick: That's the best idea I've heard all day!! But, will Count approve of this?
(Nick turned to his brothers and Marcus to see what they thought.)
James: His orders were to free any of our Sovereign agents, in the hopes that we might find Winterfire. I don't think he'll mind.
Alex: And the fact that we are inside a government building with countless people ready to kill us. I think we could use their help.
Nick: Alright, Jack go to the control room and open all these cells. James, go with Jack and give him some cover. The rest of us will wait here in case anymore officers shows up.

Jack let out a sigh. He would be happy just as long as he got the job done and got as far away from these people as humanly possible. Jack turned around to see Marcus lean toward the cage and whisper insults in Japanese to the captive. The techonpath muttered under his breath something about Marcus never growing up, both literally and metaphorically. "Well, lets get this over with." Jack said, then turning to James "Its your lead."
