Back in the Paladin-Cave

by **Order** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:28 pm

Croyden was seated in what currently served as a war room, waiting for the heroes to return. Even though he had no system access, he had busied himself by watching the various camera feeds of the city.

Croyden would see Paladin walk up to the door with the team members each in their own unique state of injury. The door clicked and then opened.

"Infirmary is in the back," Paladin said as he lead the group of X-Men into the Paladin-Cave.

"And the showers?" John asked.

by **Paladin** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 6:26 pm

"Further down the same hallway," Paladin said before removing his helmet.

Sara walks into the room, still looking pale and shaken from what had just happened.

Ronnie was a little pale as well, though for different reasons. The legging of her costume was soaked through with blood.

"Can we go home yet?" She whined softly, trying to make a joke of it.

"C'mon Ronnie, let's go get you patched up," Nick said.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 6:54 pm

Daniel looked tired, and was favoring one side of his body, but didn't look like anything was going to slow him down. "All right," he said, flopping down in a seat. "That went about as well as we could expect. I think our odds just went up a little." All the same, he didn't sound very enthusiastic.

"Well then," Ms. McManus said as she entered with Professor Weaver shortly after the others, "it looks like you had better luck than we did."

by **Paladin** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:00 pm

Paladin turned towards McManus in the midst of removing a couple damaged pieces of armor.

"Aye, that I did," Paladin said, "Our good friend Faultline had them."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:01 pm

"Knew I shouldn't have trusted her."

by **Paladin** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:04 pm

Paladin shrugged at McManus's comment.

"Mistakes were made," Paladin said, "Your students proved effective in taking her out of the current conflict and their injuries are fairly minor so your mistake fortunately did not have any permanent consequences."

by **Veronica Freud** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:10 pm

"Thanks Nick." Ronnie said, giving him a weak smile.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:13 pm

"So that just leaves the 'how we get home' problem to deal with," Daniel grunted, stretching his side out.

by **John Hino** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:18 pm

"It's good to see you alive and well Ms. McManus," John said, "But you'll have to excuse me... I reek." He then went down the corridor.

by **Isabel Galen** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:06 pm

"Do you need some help with that?" Isabel asked Daniel.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 11:51 pm

Will sat down, still a little shell-shocked.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 3:21 am

Sara puts her arm around Will, giving him a weak squeeze.

"With this many people to evacuate through the portal the game has changed anyway."

Croyden stepped out.

"Remind me never to bet against you people."

by **Paladin** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 6:12 pm

"It has," Paladin said in response to Atropha's statement. "This many people makes a violent conflict more or less inevitable. I had hoped we might be able to do this stealthily but instead we are most likely going to have to rely on firepower.

I should be able to draw away some of the General's forces by getting the fledgling local resistance to create some civil disturbances. Attacking at night will also afford us some cover."

Unfortunately, I doubt we'll be able to avoid casualties entirely."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 10:03 pm

Daniel shook his head. "I'll be good soon. Don't want this stuck on you without anyone for you to dump it on," he answered, quiet enough that he wasn't talking over Paladin with the teachers there.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 11:22 pm

"We don't need you hurt." Isabel said "At least you're some good in a fight."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Fri Nov 04, 2011 12:38 am

"Save it for when we've got someone we'd rather have hurt around," Daniel said. His eyes fell on Order. For no apparent reason at all, no sir.

by **Order** » Fri Nov 04, 2011 7:37 pm

"Does he always deliver poorly veiled threats to the defenseless?" Croyden asked.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 6:36 pm

"Wow, paranoid much?" Daniel asked, smirking.

by **Melody Martens** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:39 am

"We really need to stop traveling to parallel universes and terrible futures," Melody mumbled quietly to no one in particular from her seat not far from her frequent dystopian travel companion Daniel. She closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, tempted by a shower but far more interested in not moving.

"Might be too late. This crap happens too much, they start calling you a resident expert and then that's all you get to do."

by **Melody Martens** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 9:50 am

"That happens, I make sure I drag you with me. I mean, the expert can't well function without the only other person equally well versed in living through this shit and still remaining strikingly good looking and full of snark."
