Log:Zimm Again, Scene 1

Zimm Again 2008/05/17 	 Jennifer and Jessica Heavy Metal Princess Lorelei Myst Sable Xing-Liu 1

Lorelei comes out from the science building, where she's been visiting her father, and pauses on the step blinking at the sudden sunshine.

The Markham twins are seated with an elderly Japanese man and three of the college's students on the stairs of the Physical Education building. The elderly man seems to be explaining something that involves hand movements. His audience is listening with great attention.

Xing-Liu is observing the elderly man from afar, not part of his class but able to take in the lesson by observing rather than listening. She's a bit high up, to avoid casual notice.

HMP has stop at the college even thought she not going there and still in high school. She hoping to come here when she done with dumb high school. She walks down the sidewalk in full armor since there no real place to slip into and change back to her sweet girl self. Even in her armor she does not feel out of place why should she.

Sable leaps silently onto the roof of the philosophy department from where she surveys the square. Her head swivels slowly as she surveys the quadrangle, her attention fixing on Jennifer, Jessica and their companions. Her lips part slightly as though in surprise before she resumes her scan of the square.

Lorelei for one is glad HMP is being so conspicuous: it means less attention on her than usual as she sets off across campus to where she's parked.

The lesson on the stairs seems to be over. All stand. The twins and students bow to the elderly man and then disperse making their individual ways across the square.

HMP stops and watches the old guy talk about the sword technique. She folds her arms and wounds if she will be that good. Yes she has a sword and she use it but not with grace or beauty some skilled sword user might even say she use it like a club more then a sword.

Crater shuffles along in his usual manner, his hands tucked in his pockets.

Lorelei pauses looking in the window of the campus bookstore: clearly something has caught her eye.

Sable stands perched on the roof of the philosphy department watching people pass through the quadrangle below. She lifts her attention to the surrounding rooftops on which to continue her patrol.

ZAM! There's a sudden explosion behind Lorelei from the science building as a blast of energy opens a hole in the roof. Three figures emerge from the hole in the building, floating upon a giant disc of purple energy. It's Myst, Gravatar, and another woman, dressed in a body suit. Also floating along with them is some sort of high tech device, about the size of a refridgerator.

Xing-Liu seats herself on the edge of her own roof, gazing down in quiet thought. The abrupt violence grabs her attention pretty quickly, and she's up quickly on her feet and headed for the emerging ones.

Jennifer thinks. o O (Hey! First day back. Maybe the hero business is picking up.)

Lorelei spins about at the sound of the explosion, her first thought being for her father, and sees the three villains.

HMP turns on her metal heels at the sound of the explosion and sees the three villains floating down. She draws her sword and smiles behind her helmet. She loves battle thanks to her suit and this will scratch the itch she had for a while. She runs forward to stop the three.

Xing-Liu's hands glow black as she approaches, bounding from point to point until she reaches the three. She aims for the girl, to help her with being grounded away from people.

Xing-Liu brings both herself and Girl Wonder to the ground, landing a bit forcibly. Xing-Liu comes to stand up very soon after.

Girl Wonder growls. "Damnit... can't I go one week without running into these do-gooders. Grav, Myst, help me deal with these people!"

HMP Has her sword already and has started the charge to battle after the explosion. She runs at full speed given it all she has. When reaching them she jumps and swings her sword with all her might.

"You're the boss." Myst's body starts to fade as she turns into a cloud-composed version of herself. She flows over the edge of the purple flying energy disc and ends up on the ground next to Xing-Liu and teh robot girl.

Sable crouches momentarily before leaping toward the trio on the disc. Her jump, though smooth and graceful, carries her in an extraordinarily high arc, trying to use her height to get on to the disc

Sable's arms windmill as she strains for as much distance as she can muster, finally folding herself double as she barely manages to impact the disc. her momentum brings her into a smooth roll leaving her crouched, one hand on the ground in front of her for support as she comes to rest in the midst of the opposition.

Jennifer and Jessica start heading towards the fleeing trio. Confident that the obvious targets to engage are the heroes next to the trio she doesn't hold back at all to be ready to dodge but moves with all haste to close the distance.

Gravatar looks over at Sable and frowns. "Sorry, but I don't think you have ticket for this flight." The floating energy disc disappears. Gravatar points toward the high tech device and a tendril of purple energy flares out to the device before he floats further upwards.

Gravatar grasb the device with the energy beam and hoists it along with him.

Crater raises a brow, pausing in his shuffling at the explosion. Maybe his aimless wandering wasn't pointless as well. He judges the distance for a few moments. With a crack of displaced air, he suddenly isn't where he was. He's atop the fridge-sized thing, whatever it is. "'Sup?"

Crater gets his balance on the whatever-it-is. Not that he fears falling all that much.

The blonde girl that Xing-Liu knocked from the air stands up. She springs into the air with superhuman ability and lands next to a falafel truck. The students who where waiting in line for food start to scatter in a panic.

Sable tumblles awkwardly as the disc vanishes from beneath her feet. She twists smoothly to bring her legs back under her, only just managing to do so. Her knees bend under her to absorb the impact, her lips compressing as she looks up at Gravatar.

Lorelei, relieved to see her father wouldn't have been near the explosion, turns her attention to the villains. One male - not hard to choose the target. Catching Gravatar eys she gives him her trademark stunning pose, aided somewhat by her relative lack of clothing this summery day.

Gravatar catches sight of Lorelei and goes slack jawed with amazement. The energy field that supported the device flickers away as it, Gravatar, and Crater all start to fall from 14" up.

Crater eeps as he starts falling. So much for taking the thingamabob down gently.

Xing-Liu decides for the moment to abandon her assault on Girl Wonder to catch the two before they hit ground. While she has seen Crater survive falls of incredible distance before, it's pretty much reflex for her to save as many as she can reach...

Jennifer groans out aloud, "Zachary Zimm? Oh heck. The device! If that's one of his inventions..." She raises her voice. "Stop the fridge hitting the ground hard!" . o O(One body swop is enough already)

Sable responds to Jennifer's warning by looking up. With a few graceful steps she positions herself under the unidentified falling box, her face a picture of concentration. With a loud fleshy thump she manages to catch the device, her slender frame belying the ease with which she copes with its weight and the force of the impact, though her legs buckle under her and she is smashed flat on her back.

Xing-Liu catches both of the falling men, helping them to land more gently using herself as a cushion.

Crater blinks as he's caught by Xing-Liu, hitting the ground with the group. "Err... thanks. You okay?" He doesn't seem too phased by his vertical trip.

Myst solidifies from gas from to solid again, except for her arm. She shoots her hand towards Xing-Liu as a cloud of choking gas.

Xing-Liu coughs violently, though appears relatively unfazed by the assault. So much so that she rushes toward Myst, taking them by the solid arm and tossing them over her shoulder toward Girl Wonder.

As Xing-Liu approaches Myst, Myst turns back into her gaseous form.

Fling! goes Girl Wonder, toward the twins. Xing-Liu glances around at the people who the tough one landed among, seeing if they're okay.

Thanks to Xing-Liu's quick action, none of the students were hurt.

HMP watches as she chariest the other heroes knock the villains off there disk and smiles behind her mask. She reaches up and pushes a button on her scanner putting it to a preprogram Heavy Metal station. Soon her helmet is filled with loud rock. She keeps charging taken aim at Gravitar raising her sword and swings at him with all her might.

Myst, still in her clouded form, watches HMP act. "Well Zimm... I can't say it hasn't been fun..." She waves to the blonde girl.

The blonde girl shouts, sounding a bit panicked. "Wait! You can't leave me here!"

HMP hits with her sword and then she blinks at the meta goes down in her first hit. She frowns behind her helmet and mumbles that it was not that much fun.

Jennifer winces at the sound of breaking ribs when HMP hits Gravitar. "A bit heavy handed there, girl. The idea is to take them in alive. That means still breathing, okay." she points out while moving up to Girl Wonder. Bending over the thrown and prone robot she tries for a martial hold and if successful gives a little squeeze.

Jessica moves on to Myst, "Hey, don't go yet. The party is just warming up." she quips to the gassy girl while pulling out a silvery glittering metal net of fine mesh as tossing it at Myst.

Jennifer locks Girl Wonder's arm into a painful looking position. "Hi. Zimm is it now?"

Jessica frowns as the net misses Myst. "I'm going to have to work on my pitching. These curve balls never go right."

Crater gets up if he wasn't already up. He looks around. "...hm. Anything else need doing?" he asks as he tucks his hands in his pockets again.

Myst jerks as Jessica's attack misses her just barely. "Forget this, I'm out of here!"

Lorelei walks over toward Girl Wonder, saying in her most persuasive voice, "So then, Zimm, looks like I guess right! Having fun in that body? Why don't you tell me what you're up to and maybe my friends will go gentle on you?"

Lorelei certain has the blonde girls attention. "No... I'm not going back to jail..."

Sable rolls onto her side, carefully setting down the massive box that has completely obscured her from view during the last few seconds. She takes the time to stand without resorting to acrobatics and assesses her surroundings, one hand resting lightly on the crate.

Jessica glances over at Sable, "Nice catch on the gizmo. Thanks. I couldn't get to it in time. It might just be a fridge with the tech's lunchboxes in it. Or knowing the madmen in CBSU an experimental fusion device. So you may just have saved most of the city. Good work."

Sable's shoulders lift and she responds to Jennifer's gratitude with a tight-lipped smile and a nod. But she doesn't speak, perhaps she's mute?

Lorelei says, "Now now, Zimm, I didn't say anything about jail. I just want to know what you're up to, and what that gizmo is."

Xing-Liu moves toward the net, picking it up and rushing Myst for another try at the capturing that Jessica attempted.

Flomp! Xing-Liu's aim with the net is fairly good. She manages to get it over the fleeing gaswoman.

Jennifer sees HMP hesitate. "HMP, you can go cover Misty girl. She can get out of the net easily by becoming solid. A sword held over her head will give her reason to think twice about doing that."

HMP looks at Jennifer and laughs at her comment, "Well he still breathing i think. It wouldn't be so heavy handed if you people stop softening them up before I get there. How can a girl have fun if you mess them up before my sword can get near them. She then sighs and looks around the battle field seeing there no one to fight and curse under her breath, "What did I just say you guy are no fun" She looks over at Jen and nods and walks over to the net and point her sword at the villain, "go on and try to escape you be making my day"

Lorelei says, "Though I must say I do wonder what Nils will think about you going around in his girlfriend's body. I can't help thinking that it might be worse than going back to prison if he finds out...."

Jennifer continues to hold Girl Wonder but doesn't twist the arm while Lorelei is speaking.

Lorelei smiles. "Well, unless you've come to some sort of arrangement about it. Maybe you're into that sort of thing. You don't seem to be entirely yourself in that body, I've noticed...."

Lorelei doesn't really have much of a plan except to be vaguely disconcerting in the hope of getting him to say somethign.

"Do something!" the girl shouts to Myst. "I'll -- I'll double your rate!"

Jessica pulls a thin wand like silvery rod from an inside jacket pocket. "Never actually tried this. But it shouldn't hurt you at all, Misty girl." she says and tries to tap Myst with the rod.

Lorelei says, "Honestly, I really don't see why you won't tell me what you're up to. Keeping quiet can't help you. It may even go better for you if you talk."

"Urk." Myst says after being zapped by the rod. "Double the rate? It's a deal." She calls over to Lorelei. "Hey! We've got the nerd!"

Jessica asks, "You have Nils?"

Xing-Liu moves to check on Gravitar, her hands glowing white now rather than black. She sends corrective chi through him, knitting broken bones and relieving his injuries.

Myst nods. "That's right." She returns to her normal form and the net drops to the ground around her. "You know him, huh? Well, if you want to see him again, you'll listen to us."

Lorelei says, "Hm, so you have Nils, and you aren't going to talk, so we can't even try to help you. Hm, Jennifer, you might just have to tear his (or him) limbs off."

Lorelei says to Myst, "Actually I've no desire to see him again at all. But he does a few friends who might want to know you have him. And they're not as nice as I am."

Sable stands in silence, not moving from her position next to her crate. Her mask makes it difficult to determine exactly where her attention is focused but she seems to be watching Myst closely. She abruptly turns her head at Lorelei's words, her lips pursing. She takes a step forward raising her hand to Lorelei.

Jessica grins, "Misty, I've smacked Nils around myself a few times. So you're holding a deuce to my ace." She gestures with the wand. "But as Lorelei says he does have a couple of seriously nasty friends who take offence with Nils being pushed around. Next Gen lost a base proving that."

Lorelei, keeping an eye on Myst, pulls out her PDA. "And one of them *does* happen to be a friend of mine."

Sable shakes her head and "We negotiate" she says softly.

Myst shakes her head. "Sheesh. This guy must have no friends. No wonder he built himself one."

Lorelei says, "Got that right. He was in my class once. Couldn't stand him."

Myst says, "But he's still an innocent... you guys are still heroes, right?"

Jessica says, "So this is how it's going to be, Misty. You tell us where Nils is. Zimm goes back to jail. Cooperate and maybe you can just walk away. You care enough about Zimm to face a jail sentance alongside him?"

Crater hms. He finds a place to lounge.

HMP puts away her sword and folds her arms not happy at all by the fact only person she got to fight we a half out of it meta

Myst looks to Jessica. "'Maybe'? We give you Nils, and Grav and me get to walk?"

Sable speaks sagain. Her words are crisp and firm, tinged by an exotically cultured accent. "We do not play games with the lives of innocents. Nils needs our assistance, our protection, we will not forsake him." She looks from Lorelei to Jennifer and back again. "We listen to what they have to say."

Jennifer laughs, "Innocent? Nils? You're kidding right? You mean you didn't know it was mastermind Nils behind the robot attacks in '57? How about the banking data raid of summer '56. Misty, you kidnapped a mastermind villain and didn't even know it."

Sable extends a hand toward Myst. "This is reasonable, we keep the object they attempted to steal, we get the hostage back." She blinks, her brow furrowing. "To some extent at least that is not relevant, we do not let people perish by inaction. If he is a criminal then we can arrest him once we have him but should not leave him to suffer because of our neglect."

Jessica shakes her head, "Jenn, sister of mine, you are the hard headed one of us aren't you? I offered Misty a chance to walk if she tells us where Nils and Zimm's body are. You're not going to make me go back on my word are you?"

The blonde girl shouts, "Myst.. you can't be serious -- We... We had a deal!"

Lorelei says to Zimm, "Well, you can't say I didn't offer you a chance."

Myst shrugs and says, "They just offered me a better one. You're done, Zimm."

Jennifer pouts. "Huh, you're no fun, Jess. Okay, just for you, if Misty agrees."

HMP snort, "give me her for a few I sure she will talk when I done with her"

Myst takes Sable's proffered hand and shakes it. "The kids at a waterfront warehouse." She lists the address. "No if you don't mind..." She looks to HMP to see that she'll let her go.

Jessica says, "Xing-Liu, have you looked Gravitar over yet. I'm sure I heard some ribs break when HMP whacked him."

Lorelei says, "Sure - oh wait - any idea what that gizmo there is?"

HMP nods and looks at Myst, "fine you talked you free to go if they see fit"

Jessica pulls the net off Myst.

Myst edges over to Gravatar and crouches down by him.

HMP walks over behind Myst and looks down, "I sorry I hurt your friend so bad I can call for help for him if you like"

Myst says, "Oh. It's something Zimm needed to back himself a new robot body."

Sable seems a bit surprised by Myst's handshake but replies in kind. "Please don't make me regret this." Her tone is however free of malice and she nods to Jennifer, Jessica and the others. "We should get going if we're to get there before anything can happen. I will stay and make sure the box gets back to its rightful owner. You may need to restrain her." She waves to Wonder Girl so she doesn't walk over me and flee.

Jessica heads off to her hoverbike. She's heading to the warehouse to check if Nils and Zimm are there.

Girl Wonder curses. "I won't forget this!"

Lorelei says, "Robot bodies, now, Zimm? Better than your last scheme, I suppose."

Myst lays her hands on Gravatar. Soon the both of them turn into gas, seeping away down a sewage drain.

[To Jennifer] Lorelei says, "Shall I call Nils' friends and tell them about the warehouse, or would you rather not involve them?"

Xing-Liu appears to have fixed Gravitar's injuries without actually waking him up.

Jennifer chuckles, "Let's keep the waterfront relavatively intact shall we? I'm rather against letting BadaBoom loose if we can avoid it. Jess is heading there right now."

Sable watches Gravatar and Mystr make their exit before turning to Xing-Liu, HMP and the others. "I will cover things here, you should go help Jen and Jess."

Lorelei says, "Maybe it's best if she doen't go alone. Just in case there are complications. Shall I go? Zimm doesn't seem to be, um, male enough for me to be much use here."

Jennifer grins, "Jess can probably handle it. She'll call if she needs backup."

Xing-Liu moves to the rooftops, ready to follow Jessica.

Sable inclines her head to Jennifer and falls silent, moving away from the box and standing to one side with her hands clasped in front of her.

The warehouse is one of many others just like it at the water front.

HMP has made her way to the roof tops and gliding from roof top to roof top to the wear house

Lorelei parks her car at a discreet distance and approaches on foot, trying to be reasobably stealthy.

Jessica slips on her stealth cloak and initiates a sneaky reconnoiter.

Meanwhile, back at the campus, Zimm says, "You don't understand what you're doing. I need that boy to help complete the interface for my new body."

Jennifer shakes her head, "You are an idiot. Why didn't you just ask?"

Sable's shoulders lift in a small shrug. "I fail to see how that translates into an imperative from our point of view." She glances to Jennifer. "Or am I missing something?"

Zimm tries one last time to get free.

Jennifer says, "If Zimm could have perfected a interface to a robotic body how many paralysed people might that have helped? He would have been assisted in that if he had asked. Instead he tried to do it with robbery and metavillains."

Lorelei breaks cover and runs to chase the van.

Sable's lips purse as she watches the expert technique combined with awesome physical power. She steps back slightly to give Jennifer more room in which to work should it be necessary. "Nice hold." She says softly.

Jennifer chuckles, "Not really. We're most strength than skill based. The Sensi I'm trying to persuade I'm worth teaching would use the Zen bamboo cane if he saw it."

Sable shakes her head slightly from side to side. "He would be impressed. There's a solid basis around which to work on technique."

Feeling as though it might not be best for Lorelei to be alone, Xing-Liu follows her, ready to swoop in and halt incoming trouble.

Jennifer says, "Can you ride a hoverbike, Sable?"

Sable nods. "Certainly." She answers simply. SHe glances toward Jennifer's hoverbike and starts in that direction. "They need more hands?"

Jennifer calls Sable back. "You'll need the keys. In my left jacket pocket. It's quicker than hot-wiring it. Second, in my right ear there's a communicator botton. If you use that you'll be in contact with Lorelei. There's a van heading down Lynch Street. You should be able to get ahead of it."

Sable nods and returns to take keys and comm-set in turn before turning and racing for the hoverbike. On her way across, and she runs with quite breath-taking speed, she dons the communicator. Deftly leaping astride the bike she starts the bike and pulls it out into traffic.

Jennifer chuckles, "Third, try not to crash the bike."

Lorelei stands out into the middle of the road and assumes her most eye-catching pose, such that the driver of the van won't be able to take his eyes off her. Hopefully. Assuming he ever checks his rear view mirror.

Xing-Liu leaps to get atop the van, landing carefully to avoid detection.

Sable races the bike through traffic trying to cut off the van's apparent escape route. "

The van begins to swerve off the road as the driver starts to rubberneck, looking at Lorelei.

Once the van starts to get out of control, Xing-Liu reaches if she can into the driver's side to control the steering. Avoiding detection becomes less of an imperative...

Jessica is scouting out the warehouse checking for booby traps, security systems, enemies, etc.

The van screeches and lurches -- it turns away from the street lamp, but now it's heading for the side of a warehouse.

For some reason, Xing-Liu finds this preferable to the street lamp...

Lorelei runs to catch up with the van. Probably as fast as going back to her car and driving.

Sable sees no profitable opportunity for intervention and starts to slow the bike, steering to stay clear of the van's erratic and not entirely predictable career down the street.

Xing-Liu tries to figure out which thingie stops the van, pushing on it with a quick shift of her body to get into the van around the driver who appears to be quite stupid.

Jennifer strains as Girl Wonder makes another attempt to escape. "Hey, my sister is with your flesh body right now. It's not a good idea to make me struggle. So just relax." she tells the possessed robot.

Xing-Liu pushes as hard as she can on the stopping-thingie, becoming a bit jarred when it comes to an abrupt halt. She slips out from between driver and legspace, looking around the van for others she might have to inflict concussive force upon.

There's just the driver and a passenger in the van, both rent-a-goons. The passenger holds his hands up and says, "We give up!"

Sable hiss in a breath as the laws of physics reach out and yank the van to an abrupt halt. Swirling tendrils of pungent burnt rubber erupt from the weheel wells, twin black stremers staining the tarmac as the weight of the van tips it alarmingly only for it to rock back upright mere feet away from the wall of the warehouse. She waits until it has stopped rocking before slowly riding up to where it is parked. She calls in to Xing-Li. "What's in the back?"

Pointing to the door (and by extension, outside of the van), Xing-Liu looks sternly at the one who appears to be paying attention.

The passenger climbs out of the van, hands up.

Jessica breaks cover and heads over to the captive and Zimm. "Hi, Nils. Turning out to be a nice day again. I'm glad we're finally seeing some decent weather."

Sable nods to the passenger. "If you have any weapons place them on the ground." Then step back and place your hands on the side of the van." She extends the kick-stand of the bike. and steps clear of it.

"Jessica? What are you doing here...?" Nils asks. "Did you find Vicky? Is she alright?"

Jessica says, "Taking your points in order. I'm here rescuing you. Vicky is dressed up as Girl Wonder and undamaged. But she's been mentally possessed by that jerk over there." She gestures to Zimm. "Now before I release you I want your assurence you won't do anything to him until after we get Vicky un-possessed, okay?""

Jessica goes over to Zimm and grabs a random handful of wiring and tubes. "What will happen if I yank these out? You have five seconds to tell me how to free Vicky or we'll find out."

Zimm's body lies unconscious on the bed in he warehouse. Nils shouts, "Wait! He have to get Zimm back into his old body first."

Sable point to the passenger. "In the back of the van." Then the driver. "You drive this jalopy straight back whence it came." Then to Xing-Liu. "Sit in the passenger seat. If they give you any trouble teach them the error of their ways."

Sable re-mounts Jennifer's hover-bike. "You should stop and pick up Lorelei on the way." She looks to the driver. "You shouldn't have any trouble spotting her."

Jessica nods, "Relax, Nils. I just wanted to see if he was faking. Do you know how to do the switch over?"

Jessica says, "Do we need to get Vicky back here?"

The driver still has his neck craned towards Lorelei, mesmerized by watching her run over. He doesn't see in a condition to drive.

Nils says, "Yes. We need to get them back here... and quickly. The transfer is unstable. If we wait too long, we'll lose both of them."

Sable takes a deep breath and looks to the passenger. "Can you drive?"

Xing-Liu sits, not sure what she should be doing precisely. It seems everything is fine, though the message over the radio tells her otherwise, and she slips out of the window of the van and heads back via rooftops to the campus area.

The passenger nods.

Jessica says, "We're working on it, Nils."

Sable blinks as Xing-Liu simply wanders off. Her lips purse and she looks back at the passenger. "Listen to me carefully." Get in the van" She points to the van. "Get in the van. Drive it back the way you came, stop to pick up the beautiful woman waiting for you and drive her back to the warehouse./ Deviate from these instructions one iota and you will most certainly regret it, am I clear?"

The man nods to Sable. "Got it." He drives the van over to Lorelei.

Sable pauses as she listens to the radio conversation.

Sable slowly mounts the bike and drives back to the university to return it unscathed to Jennifer.

Lorelei gets into the van.

Lorelei tells the two to get out of the van - that they're free to go. BUt that they should think seriously about leaving a life of crime. Once rid of them she drives back to campus.

Editor's Note: ''The heroes bring Zimm, in Girl Wonder's body, back to the warehouse where Nils is able to place Zimm back in his own body.''

Jessica walks over to Nils and Vicky. "Vicky, I want to tell you something. When I got here and foud Nils tied up his first words were to ask if you were okay."

Once Zimm is back in his original body, Nils turns to the heroes. "Thanks guys, for all your help."

Xing-Liu looks from Nils to everyone else, shrugging in a little confusion but nodding to him.

Jessica says, "No problem, Nils. When you were more worried about how Vicky was than yourself you made it all worthwhile as far as I'm concerned. Good for you."

Lorelei says, "No problem. Look Nils - I know we've never really got on, but, well - I hope things are better now than they used to be."

Sable shrugs. "Our pleasure." She returns Jennifer's keys and communicator. "Your bike is unharmedd, I'm glad I could be of some vague use."

Lorelei says, "And I'm really glad you're ok, too, Vicky."

Vicky the Girl Wonder nods to Jessica. "Thank you." And then she turns to Nils and picks him up in a hug and lifting him up off of his feet. "Nils, I'm so sorry I wasn't able to protect you!"

Sable's lips curl into a soft smile and now that things seems to be winding down she is content to make her way out of the warehouse and out over the city's rooftops.

Jennifer chuckles and heads out.

Nils says quietly. "Me - me too." He looks to Lorelei. "Uh, thanks."

Lorelei says, "Take care - you too Vicki."
