Ryuu stood behind Marcus and was looking between the X-man, Marcus, and the she-wolf. The white wolf was still licking the boy's chest. It was obvious that she had closed the wound almost completely and was now just simply cleaning the area. In the back of his mind, he wondered if she would become sick from consuming the boy's blood.
Behind Kitty, Pavati was finishing her job. She stopped her cleaning and was now laying beside him, keeping him warm with her furry body. She looked up at the people standing in front of her and let out a short yap, reminding them that she was still there.

(Once the doors shut, Veronica turned around. She tried turning the handle, but the door was lock. The only think on her mind was tat she couldn't believe she fell for that. She then began punching at the door. It wouldn't budge.)
Com. Oros: D@mmit!! Once I get out of here, I'm going to make you wish you were sorry you ever crossed my path!!
(She stopped attempting to escape and focused at the matter at hand. She turned around and went over to the computer. She sat down on the chair and looked at the computer monitors. Avriletta was just finishing putting the last of the criminals back in their cells. Veronica began typing on the keyboards, trying to get the laser cells back and running.)

Jack listened to the lady on the other side of the door and waited until the banging had died down. <Well looks like the door's protection mechanism held.> Jack thought. Well duh I would hold! what kind of door do you think I am? The mechanics responded. jack let out a sigh of relief as he turned to James and said, "Well lets see how the rest are doing before Mr. Count gets here. OK?" Then Jack pivoted on his heel and walked down to the main level with out even waiting for a response from the little boy. When he got to the bottom he noticed that Marcus was crouched down over a boy, with an x-men member there as well. Sensing trouble, Jack pulled out a tazzer to attack the woman there. He shot the tazzer and was satisfied when the person he shot slumped to the ground, paralyzed.
Marcus jumped in surprise when he saw Kitty slump from Jack's attack. "That was unexpected but welcomed, Jack." Marcus said with a hint of humor in his voice. Jack became suspicious but he responded anyways. "Why thank you." He said. "Oh no. I have decided to dub your tazer Jack." Marcus said, his voice was almost giving away to laughter. "So what is the verdict J-man?" "I have sent out a signal for pickup to Mr. Count." Jack said. "And I have also found out that the X-men have taken Sara to the manor in Pennsylvania. Can I be done now?" Marcus thought about what Jack had said. "Hmm... Maybe. And now I just have one last thing to do." Marcus said quietly. Then he took his hand and hit Pavati on the back of the head,effectively knocking her out. "And now we wait for pickup." Marcus said to the triplets and Jack.

(Count teleported to the roof of a nearby building. Walking toward the edge, he looked down and noticed the perimeter of police surrounding the building. Several tanks were also stationed. He also spotted a Black Bird fighter jet on the parking lot. With that, he knew the X-men had arrived. Count was actually worried now and he hoped that he wasn't too late to bail his team out. Count noticed that large numbers of people were being sent inside the building. It was now or never. He walked back into the shadow and disappeared again. Inside the building, the lights in the containment cells began to flicker rapidly. A shadowy silhouette of a man began emerging from the center of the room. Once the tall figure had fully materialized, the shadows vanished and the lights stayed stable. The lights hit dead center on the man, revealing Count, who was now clearly visible in front of everyone.)
Count: Sorry if I'm a little late for the party....
(He looked around the room to find the rest of his team. Suddenly, he stopped and spotted something that disturbed him. Count looked at the boy with the black leather uniform. The boy that they had fought not too long ago. The boy they left behind to die at the Xavier mansion after Psychonaut activated the self-destruct sequence. Count starred at him for a while, before pulling out his sword and pointing it at him.)
Count: You're suppose to be dead!?!

Marcus let out a sigh. This was going to be the touchy part. "That is what I said." Marcus said in a slightly edged voice. "Now lets get out of here before we do anything else. None of us are up for prolonged fighting, we don't have the energy, ammo or manpower, and they have reinforcements coming. Not to mention that we have a casualty that needs treatment. The inmates will buy us some time to get out and to cover our trail." His tone said that he was not going to accept any answer other than an agreement.
Keiy was pushing the inmates back into the cells. He did not know which cells belonged to who and really didn't care. He was tired and worried that they would not be able to push the prisoners back. Then he heard someone shout at him. When Keiy turned, he as the man that Marcus was fighting with when they were fighting at the other mansion. He was in the middle of using fire to guide the men back into their cells when he saw the other man. Instantly he was gripped by fear, and the flames went out. Keiy's markings turned a dark blue almost black, symbolizing fear for the other man. <The darkness user. Another shadow king.> He thought.

Kitty fell down to the ground as the electric shock ran throughout her body and she hit her head hard. Kitty laid paralyzed on the floor as she drifted in and out of consciousness, but she heard Jack mention Sara's name and saw Marcus knocked out Pavati. So they were looking for Sara. She would have to get a message out to Jack to warn him. When Count arrived, Kitty looked again at Marcus holding Pavati. She thought as she laid helpless on the floor.
Not another one... I'm sorry, Pavati.

Ryuu let out a gasp when, in quick succession, a man ran in and tazed the senior X-member and Marcus knocked out the wolf. He screamed softly when the man materialized next to him. Today had been too exciting for him and the fur on his tail was on end. He went over to the fallen woman and looked her in the eye, "We won't hurt her. I promise." He moved over the injured boy and picked him up from under the fallen wolf. He pat her head and looked up at Marcus, "Let's get out of here."

(Count looked away from the boy and turned around to Marcus. He was surprised that out of all people, Marcus was the voice of reason in the group. Count nodded his head, acknowledging that he was right. He placed his sword back inside his holster and walked back toward his group.)
Count: Those are wise words you speak Marcus. Very well, time to leave.
(He looked at the cat creature who was helping Nick. In Count's mind, anyone who was willing to help out one of his team members had his respect. He'd have to find out more about him later. He continued looking at everyone around and that's when he spotted Kitty. "She was alive too!?" Count looked at Alex and gave him an order.)
Count: Take Kitty and place her at the wall over there. We don't want her to be coming with us. I've seen her power, she's not one we can contain so easily. Now go.
Alex: Yes, Count.
(Alex grabbed Kitty and moved her away from the group. He placed her next to the wall that Count designated before returning. Now that the group was ready, Count began focusing on teleporting the entire group. The shadows beneath everyone's feet began to connect and expand. It got to the point where the team was standing in one large shadow. At a distance, Avriletta noticed Count and the Sovereigns getting ready to teleport. She flew into the air and was about to fire poison nails at them. Avriletta stopped when she noticed Pavati was among them. She remembered that they had promised to return Pavati to safely. Instead, she reached into one of her pockets and pulled out a knife. She aimed it at Count and threw it swiftly at him. Though it was too late. By the time the knife reached the other side of the room, Count and the Sovereigns had teleported away. The knife stuck to the wall where the Sovereigns were standing next to.)
Avriletta: Nooo....

Keiy heard Ave. scream and turned to where she was and then to where she was looking and noticed that Marcus, the shadow-user and the others were gone. At first he relaxed thinking that it was a good thing that they had left. Then Keiy realized Kitty laying on the ground. He went over to her, pushing and punching people out of the way. "Miss Pryde! Are you OK?" He asked as he helped her into a sitting position. He looked over his shoulder at the door that he left unguarded and cringed as he saw a couple of people rush to the door. Then suddenly they fell as a couple of thwacks echoed across the room. Keiy saw a couple of men in black gear with guns form up at the entrance of the area.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside was alot more peaceful than the inside. Up where the jet was there was a squad of swat officers guarding the jet. They were not asked or given orders to guard the jet but thought it was the least they could do for the X-men. Then they saw two people approach them. On was a tall elegant woman wearing formal business attire the other was a short man in a trench coat and a fedora. "Hey!" one of the officers shouted at the couple, "You are not suppost to be up here!" "Oh we know. We just wanted to have a little chat, ask you some questions, maybe even a little bit of tea." Said the short man. As he was talking the woman had set up a couple of cushions and had a tea pot and 7 tea cups out. The officer was immediately suspicious. he had not seen the lady carrying anything. <Had I?> He thought. "Come. There is no need to be suspicious. We're not caring any weapons." The short man said again and opened his trench coat. Underneath he was wearing a vest, a button up white long sleeve dress shirt, a purple and black striped tie, and business slacks. "Now sit and drink with us." The officer decided that the man was not a threat and sat, but when he tried to take a drink he split the tea all over himself because he forgot that his blast helmet was down. He took off the helmet, looked up into the short man's eyes and instantly he lost consciousness. The small man smiled as he felt his mind seize control of the other man. Using the other man's body and voice, the small man trapped the other members of the squad. "What now Thought?" The woman said. "Now we figure out what this world is all about Memory." The short man replied. Then he made the swat members remove their gloves showing skin for Memory to touch. And she did so. Memory saw the events of the morning, tidbits of the soldier's life, and instincts bread into humans. She did this to each of the members and all the while Thought was reading her mind, learning everything she did.

Kitty winced some as Keiy helped her up. She was slowly getting control of her body again.
Shadowcat: They tazed me. Couldn't move.
Kitty looked as the black geared unit came in. Unsure if they were the re-enforcement of the police or another threat, Kitty knew she at least had to be standing to maintain her strong front. She turned back to Keiy and whispered.
Shadowcat: Could you help me?
Kitty wrapped an arm around Keiy's shoulders and mostly relied on his strength to help her up and support her.

Keiy helped Kitty up and said, "Where?" Wondering what she had in mind, Keiy followed obediently. Kitty pointed to the men at the other side of the hallway. As they got closer to the men Keiy realized that they had broken up into two groups. One group knocked out, paralyzed, or stunned the enemy mutants and the other was putting them into cells. The armored men worked very effectively and Keiy was impressed. "Hello Miss Pryde. We thought we would back you up." One of the men said as he knocked out a mutant with three arms on one side and only one on the other.

Kitty nodded her head to the man.
Shadowcat: Thank you. The enemy is gone now. It will be nearly impossible to track them now.
Kitty began to feel her strength slowly returning. She stood on her own feet and thanked Keiy for his support. She focused back to the armored man.
Shadowcat: All that remains is put these criminals back in their cells. Commissioner Oros went to the control room some time ago. Someone should be sent over there to check on her.

The armed man gave a curt nod to Kitty, then gave two hand signs to one of the men under his command, who in turned pushed his way up to the command room. "Don't you worry Miss Pryde. We will clean up here." The man said as the younger officer marched past. His voice had a southern twang that was out of place with the area. Keiy also noticed that the uniform was not actually black but a dark blue. "Um... Miss Kitty... Um... Who-who are..?" Keiy tried to ask but his nerves prevented him from finishing the question. The man understood the boy and answered before Kitty could. "We are S.H.I.E.L.D, or just Shield. We help out with the mutant pro-- ah people that break the law." The man said. "Not a real people person are ya?" Keiy caught the slip up but didn't understand what it meant, but hid slightly behind Kitty at the second statement.

(Moments after Count had teleported the team out of the police headquarters, they had reappeared on the roof of a building fifteen blocks away. Under normal conditions, Count would have been able to teleport hundreds out miles out of the city easily. However, carrying a large load of people took a toll on his limitations. Count looked at his team to make sure everyone made it out. It was a nice sunny day. Count reached into his pockets and pulled out his Ray-Ban Aviator glasses. He slipped them over his menacing eyes before turning to Marcus.)
Count: I assume Winterfire was not amongst the prisoners. What leads do we have now?

Marcus looked at Count. Then back to the she wolf that he had put at his feet once they had stopped teleporting. His mind was blurred and his felt dizzy. "Her" He said looking at Pavati, "She is our next lead. She is an x-men." Out of the corner of his eyes, Marcus saw Jack frown in confusion. <Poor B*st*rd doesn't know why I am so hesitant.> The shifter thought to himself. He looked up into Count's eyes and saw what could be described as a mean light shining through them and almost instantly Marcus felt his hackles raise and almost poke through his skin. He forced the urge to revert down. <He is going to do that dark thing that he did to that other girl again. I don't want to watch that again Its unnatural!> Marcus thought and quickly devised a plan to both hopefully stop him and to appease him. "I have a plan for her, if you will hear me out." Marcus began, "Lets use her for recon. We could but her and map out the mansion from the inside." Inside his mind he was praying that this would work. Curiously he was genially worried for the current she-wolf.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up in the containment area the two men that the Shield commander had selected where working on the door. They pryed the door open enough to stick 2 pounds of explosives to blast open the door from the inner chambers of the door. They set the explosives for 15 seconds and took cover. When the explosives when off they fractured the pressure locks that kept the door from being pryed open. From there the soldiers opened the door and Greeted the commissioner with a salute.
