Marcus waited for the white wolf to finish. While he waited he shifted back into human form. He was writhing in agony before the shift was over. When Marcus was back to his normal form he popped his neck and became very defensive around the wolf. Most of the prisoners walked right passed them trying to get to the door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keiy was getting tired he realized that most of the prisoners didn't care about getting burned. They just wanted out, and they where willing to risk a couple of burns to get there. Keiy stopped trying to keep the fire going and focused on shooting electricity at them, but there where so many. " Kitty" Keiy shouted over everyone. "We need help back here!"

(Avriletta looked around and saw numerous mutant criminals attempting to get through the door. She looked back at Keiy holding them back with his powers. Avriletta noticed that Veronica was holding herself pretty well. She would fight against one criminal, take them down and then move on to another one. Still, the waves of enemies continued. Avriletta flew into the air. She aimed her hands at the criminals that were closest to Keiy and the door and began firing her nails. Avriletta had reduced the concentration of the poison on the nails to the point where it wasn't lethal. However, it was powerful enough to subdue the criminals to immense pain. Such traumatic pain that their bodies would faint and fall into unconsciousness within five seconds of the injection. Out of no where, several energy blasts struck Avriletta's back. She let out a cry of pain. Quickly, she turned to the direction of the blasts and was ready to rain nails down upon them. However, Veronica had noticed the mutants that had attacked Avriletta and decided to take them down first. She lowered down to the ground and fired nails at the mutants. Avriletta turned to Veronica.)
Avriletta: You know those guys were mine!
Com. Oros: Yes, well I'm just looking out for my teammates' backs.
Avriletta: Okay, enough of the bad puns. You should probably head to that control room that Kitty was talking about. Since you run this entire building, you of all people should know where it is.
Com. Oros: Alright. Just get most those unconscious mutants back inside their cells.
(Avriletta nodded and and grabbed the mutants that were on the ground. She then flew into the air and began taking them to random cells. Before she left to the control room, Veronica turned to the boy that was firing the lightning before.)
Com. Oros: Give that strange character my regards while you and your team is kicking his @ss.
(She gave him a thumbs up and ran off to the control room.)

Marcus was looking down at the white wolf, when an insane idea went through his head. It was simple in prospect but complex to pull off. <Take her.> That was his compulsion. <Just take her.> He thought over and over. <Yes but how?> His mind was racing on how to do it. Then he was Veronica run by, and an idea suddenly came to him. "Miss Pryde, You might want to help her." Marcus said, his voice completely serious and his face not betraying any bit of what he was planning. "That man in the control room is our superior. He is the one leading this mission. And he is stronger than me. You saw abit of how we fought. And that was after six or so minutes. She won't last. "

Kitty saw how Veronica left to take care of the control room. With Ave assisting Keiy, they were taking care of the prisoners. Kitty looked back at Marcus and shook her head.
Shadowcat: You must be out of your mind to think I'm going to leave my team.
Kitty maintained her stand inbetween them and Pavati.

(Alex looked at Ryuu with confusion and a bit of skepticism on his face. Ryuu being a criminal that he had just met, it wasn't surprising that Alex was not so keen to believe him.)
Alex: What are you even talking about and how do you even know this?

Ryuu pointed to the wolf's snout, "She's not eating him. She's licking his wound. She must have some healing power other than her shifting." He wasn't about to volunteer to finish the job as when he did any healing, he would pass out cold and he had no wish to be left behind.
Behind Kitty, Pavati whined loudly and was now starting to nudge the boy in the side and on his hand in between licks. His wound was closed completely on the back and all interior wounds were also gone. There was still a good sized hole that was about half an inch deep near the boy's sternum. She needed to get some kind of response out of him and soon. Otherwise, he may never wake up.

(Alex looked to where Ryuu was pointing. He was right. The white wolf was healing his brother's wound, but Alex had no idea if it was too late to save his life. Alex stood up and walked over to where Nick was lying down. He knelt down next to his brother. He placed his hand on Nick's shoulder and began to move it softly, as to wake him.)
Alex: Come on Bro. You can pull out of this. Please, wake up. The team needs you, James needs you, I need you..
(A few moments later, Nick began mumbling, a sign that he was still alive. Alex placed his hand on his neck to check his pulse. It was very faint, like a worn out clock. The wolf's healing had prevented Nick's death.. or it might have just delayed the inevitable. Alex turned around and looked directly at the white wolf's shiny eyes.)
Alex: Thank you for helping him.

Pavati stopped licking the boy to look up at his brother. She blinked slowly and let out a low whine. She wasn't sure if he was going to make it, but she had improved his chances. For now, she just lowered her head and continued her work.
Ryuu smiled softly down at the sweet scene. In his short life, he had never really gotten the chance to see the kindness of strangers and to see the scared wolf go from aggressive toward the men to helping one in trouble warmed his heart.

Jack had noticed that one of the women, the one that was giving Marcus a hard time was coming up for them. Instantly he ordered James to hand him his cell. Jack went to work modifying it to become a transmitter. He kept muttering to the modified cell phone giving it direct orders, which to his surprise, the cell said it would do and started sending out the message before Jack even got finished. He put it in a cabinet on the side of the desk. Then he pulled James out into the hall with him and was pleased to hear the cell broadcasting "C.O.U.N.T. DG95646384" Which an experienced military man like Count would know is the coordinates on a topographical map. Then he saw Veronica running up to meet them. Instantly he began to beg her, "Miss you have to help me! They dragged me into this. Said they would kill my family if I didn't help. The children where forced too! That man in there is a maniac! Please you have to help us!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marcus looked down. He needed to get Kitty to leave. The girl with the nails he was confident he could take, Keiy would give him a hard time but Keiy was getting tired and Marcus was actually resting to get his breath back so, again, he was sure that he could take them. <But Kitty? Forget it.> Marcus thought as he was trying to think of a way to get her to leave. "For what it is worth, which isn't that much I promise that she will be safe. " Marcus said, then seeing her skeptical look he responded, "Listen I know you don't trust me but she just healed one of my comrades. I will not let anything happen to her." Inside him some part of him twinged, and he knew that he would probably regret saying those words.

(James was about to attack Veronica the moment she came into sight. However, he didn't even get the chance to, because Jack played it cowardly. James decided to just follow his lead. He nodded after Jack had finished his over dramatic performance.)
James: It's true!! I'm surprised he kept us alive this long!! Who knows if he'll keep his end of the bargain!!
(Veronica looked at the two mutants with disbelief. In her own eyes, it was almost pathetic that they were trying this.)
Com. Oros: How can I make sure you two are telling me the truth

Jack knew that what he said would probably be ignored so he decided to play his favorite card. His absolute hate for being dragged into this. "YOU THINK THAT I WOULD WILLING JOIN THAT... THAT MANIAC?!? ALL I WAS GOING TO DO TODAY WAS WAKE UP, GO TO WORK, COME HOME, SLEEP, AND REPEAT THE NEXT DAY, BUT NOOOO. I GOT F*CKING DRAGGED HERE!!" Jack's face got red as a tomato as he yelled at the officer.

Hearing Marcus's understatement, it was clear that he wanted to take Pavati with him. Kitty glared at him and became even more defensive, if that was even possible.
Shadowcat: You're right, I don't trust you. What do you want with her?

(Veronica gave Jack a strange look as he yelled at her. Regardless if he was telling the truth or not, Veronica was not going to let him go.)
Com. Oros: Look, I have no idea if I can trust you, but I'm going to have to interrogate you later to find out more. For now, stay here, I need to go inside this room.
(Veronica had a careful eye on the two men as she walked past them into the control room.)

Jack watched the lady walk by then ordered the door to close themselves and lock Veronica in. It argued a bit but Jack was very angry and forced it to close by sheer terror alone. He let out a sigh, recovered his posture, and turned to James and said "Shall we join the rest of the group."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marcus looked down. <This is not going well.> One voice in his head said. <Well naw sh*t. Did you think it would be easy?> Marcus let out a sigh and muttered "Arguing with my self... Great..." Then he looked into Kitty's eyes and said, "We didn't come for her. We came for someone else."

Kitty maintained her stance and it seemed to be working on this guy. He seemed to be giving up, letting his guard down. And so information started to seep out. The agents were looking for someone in the cells, possibly captured Sovereign agents, maybe even Sara. But to make sure, Kitty began interrogating.
Shadowcat: Who?
