Kalina picked up on the lone gunman's thoughts and bit her lip, trying her best to figure this out. She tried to imagine that Percy and the others were her mom and dad who'd just caught her sneaking in from a party, "Look, all you have to do is put down your guns and run out the back, ANYONE!" She raised her voice so the loneman could hear, "If any of you put down your guns and quietly exist from the back, then you could walk away from all this!"
She made eye contact with them all to show she was telling the truth since she had no intention of beating them up even if she could...that was Chloe's job.

Something itched in Chloe and before she knew it, she leaned back and inched closer to the gunman who was watching over them. She could tell that he was losing focus, but that meant nothing, he could easily shoot her on nerves alone. Still, Kalina had their undivided attention, if there was a time to get the family out, it was now.
She'd craftily crept her way close to the gunman without him noticing, and sank low onto her back.

Lillian stood with the croud, which was now getting somewhat routy. They began to pound on the doors a bit shouting hatefull things, such as "KILL THE MUTANTS!" and "DONT LISTEN TO THEM THEY HAVE NO SOLES! BY TEH WIL OF CHRIST SMITE THEM!!". Lillian began to get a bit too into her role as she blended in the croud, shouting back "YA KILL THE MUTANTS! ALL OF THEM!! STEEL THER CHILDREN AND COOK THEM IN SOUP AND THEN EAT THE REAMAINS!!!" She then heard from behind her someone talking to another saying "maby we should break the door down?". She then remember what she was doing and increaased the wind speed, it began to make it a little hard for the pepole to keep their eyes open and stand still. This managed to quite them quite a bit as they stopped only to hear the sound of the wind whistling around them.

Shiloh got back to his feet and coughed a little bit when he got back up. He looked at the crowd and wondered if joining the people in their anger would be a good idea, "The police are gonna kick the mutants out! They won't come out until we leave!" He exclaimed. While a few people made a move away from the door, others just moved in to close the gap.
"Where are you guys?" Shiloh asked, tapping on his earpiece again for a few times.

When the wind picked up, it crashed a few shutters which in turn caught ahold of their caretaker's attention. The noise was perfect to act under and as soon as he turned his head, Chloe kicked the gun from his hands. In a flash, she lunged forward and caught the AK before it hit the ground. The lot seemed so confused by her quick moves that she took a moment to look the guy up and down before swinging the barrel of the ground around like a bat and nailing him right in his temple. The collision knocked him out cold and sent him side shuffling through the family who scrambled out the way with a few tiny gasps.
As quick as her first attack, she scrambled forward on all fours and managed to slide under him, gracefully catching him on her back before he hit the floor. With an umph, she slowly lowered herself in the push up position and and shimmied out from under him. The family stared at her in shock, too stunned to even make a break for it but Spots paid no attention to them. Instead she quickly stripped the guy and began to pull on his black clothes on top of her previously stolen adolescent jeans and T shirt. Sensing her urgency, the mother and father broke into action, vigorously helping her dress before shoving the mask on her head and the AK in her hands.
Chloe sighed in relief and whispered to them, "Go out through the back!"
They nodded and gathered themselves. The father ushered his children and grandparents toward the kitchen but the mother stayed behind, her wide eyes teary as she gazed at her family's savior. As if to say thanks, she reached over and stuffed Chloe's curls under the mask before finally speeding through living room and out the kitchen backdoor.
Task 1 was completed, now she'd need to get Kalina out safely. Making sure her brown skin was hidden under the gloves, Chloe stood straight up and made her way into the foyer, where she found her teammate surrounded by the agitated PSALM members. The young Indian girl was keeping her cool, but with the abundance of guns waving everywhere, Tap was due to unravel.
She slipped in and leaned against the wall, keeping a steady aim on Kalina. A few had slightly acknowledged her as their fallen member, but it wouldn't be long until it hit them that no one was watching the hostages.
'It's me, Kalina.' she thought, screaming the words in her head to make sure Tap heard her loud and clear, 'The hostages are safe, tell them that you will need to go speak to the officials, get out of here right now,'

Kalina flinched and blatantly looked at the masked man that was actually Chloe. The chunky layers of clothing were hiding her feminine figure but she was shorter than the other guy.
"well! Money, legislation, immunity and..."she quickly scanned their thoughts, "a life time supply of porn! How's that? I'll talk to the chief and be right back! But remember, you can walk away...". She backed to the front door but then suddenly something happened
'I hope Chloe is alright' projected into everyone's head. She could tell because it sounded like her voice was on a loud speaker and everyone flinched. Had she just done that? Her powers had never done that before. In sheer panic, Kalina froze with her hand on the door handle and a hand held up towards them.

Shiloh, like everyone else from the crowd, turned to examine everyone and everything for originator of the noise, "Oh no," He cursed under his breath. He cupped his hands together over his mouth and tried to imitate her voice so that it seemed he was the originator. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Who is that?"
"It must be a mutant?"
"They're probably trying to attack us!" The crowd advanced for the door, right toward the building with their comrades inside. Shiloh panicked as well, unsure of how to quell the even angrier crowd.

"What was that?"
"Was it someone with a megaphone?"
"The radio?"
"You heard it too?"
"Yeah, was it one of the hos- THEY'RE GONE!"
"DAMN IT, WHERE ARE THEY?!"
Percy ran over to Chloe, thinking her their comrade and immediately struck her in the head with an open palm.
"You let them get away, you idiot! Everything is ruined!" he declared, shoving her backwards roughly, before pointing to the other two and issuing orders, "Grab the negotiator!"
"But she's a human, man!" countered one of them.
"JUST DO IT!" Percy's fury rang out, and he aimed the gun directly at the other man.

Kalina screamed in terror when he smacked Chloe. She began to shake but out of sheer terror, she screamed again and cried, "This isn't going to help!!"

In a second, the door opened up; but it wasn't one of the rioters who opened it. Actually, nobody was sure what had happened, because the door was closed again before anything bad was allowed to occur. Tap(Kalina?) wasn't in the building, the door was locked with a chair pressed up against it from the outside, and the rioters, seeing the sudden change of situation, quieted. The PSLAM members were just staring at the door, wondering just as everybody else was; but Spots knew all to well what just went down.
"Blur reporting in, Commander. I think I did good!" Genji stood on top of a nearby building with Tap on the ground behind him. It took the young girl a couple of seconds, and she was still screaching in terror when he had let her down on the roof. "Lycan and Lilian, can you make sure nobody goes in the building?"

Kalina hadn't ever been so happy to see Blur in her life until she realized that their commander was in there by herself, "We need to get this crowd down. The police will be here soon I'll monitor Spot's thoughts"

Shiloh gulped and nodded, hurrying past the crowd at a quick speed. He stopped in front of the door and held up his hands, "We shouldn't go in there! We should wait for SWAT, the National Guard, Ronald Reagan, anybody!" He exclaimed worriedly.
Just then, someone tossed a beer bottle at him. With quick reflexes, Shiloh caught it and flung it far out from the crowd with inhuman strength. His eyes shot wide open when he realized that he had displayed his powers, "Uh...uhm...please go home guys!"

When he’d hit Chloe, it caught her off guard. The force of his palm sent her head straight into the wall. Upon impact, her sight went white and she swore she could hear her brain rattle in her head.
Chloe cried out in pain but no one would have heard her over the piecing scream that poor Tap had let out, nevertheless, Spots crumpled onto all fours and lost her gun, helplessly watching it skid across the floor.
Around that time, Blur had made his clean rescue mission, leaving the henchmen in a stunned silence. Spots tried to recuperate, but there was a senseless ringing in her ears that just wouldn’t stop and no matter how much she tried to focus her sight, she couldn’t seem to get her sense about herself.
Spots sat back on her knees and slowly forced herself up. Her dizziness caused her to stumble a little but she managed to make it look like she was shifting her weight in impatience.
This was definitely a pivotal point, they’d lost their leverage, their illusion of control and the crowd was beginning to stir. If they were going to make a break for it, now was the time.
’KALINA!!!’ Chloe screamed in her own head. She winced a little and then continued, Listen and act fast!! One: Tell Cherub to create a...a..create a tornado or something! Freak the crowd out! Make them run away! Two: You are to go after to family, lead them to our rendevous point and call Stylianos for the jet! Three: Tell Lycan to stay with Cherub, make sure she isn’t hurt, then they are to get to our rendevous point, four: Tell Blur that I need his help. I have a concussion and I need him to disarm these guy’s guns. Please hurry, I can’t-
“WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Chloe knew then that her cover was about to be blown. She froze in her path, careful to blend in with the group, afraid to even continue her thoughts that she could only pray that Tap was picking up.

Kalina freaked out and rattled Chloe's orders to everyone through the ear piece, "Cherub make a tornado to run everyone off. Lycan stay with her, Genji, Chloe needs the men disarmed, I gotta go help the family!!"
She got off the roof and ran after them, tracking their thoughts. When she caught up, she explained to them her job and they followed her since they recognized her. When they got to the meet up point she called Stylianos.
"help!"

Genji heard Tap speak and was kind of surprised. Spots needed assistance? He could'a swore to god she got shit done. Nevertheless, he disappeared, and a couple of seconds later the door to the building busted open. He had locked it and placed a chair on the outside already, so the only way he was getting in was to simply break it. The door flew through the room, and the PSLAM members watched it fly by them and smack against the wall. Before they could turn around to see who was there, they were all unconscious.
"Phew! That was close, I didn't think I could knock them all at in time. I think I might'a killed one, actually," Genji said, standing in front of Chloe, scratching his nose.

(oOc: playing Lillian right now)
During the middle of Tap's frantic orders through the ear piece, Lillian was busy throwing inanimate objects at the house with the rest of them. She felt a twinge of guilt for enjoying it so much, but couldn't help the tiny smile on her face when she chugged a bottle and shouted derogatory comments with the rest of them. So this is what the other side felt like.
Still, it was back to reality and she triggered a storm. A tornado was over kill, but some rapid wind would be more than enough to distract these hooligans. The sky grew dark as birds flittered away. Squirels danced across the telephone lines, all heading for shelter as the wind picked up. Slowly the crowd grew silent and they all turn their heads up to the sky in question: what was going on?
Cherub followed their gaze, continuing to blend in but kept her concentration. The wind picked up even higher, whizzing through the rustling tree branches and whipping through people's jackets. She knew she had them when a hat was swept clean off a head, shooting straight into the air and spiraling away.
In the house, Blur had come to save the day, and despite his own sonic speed, Chloe swore everything he did was in slow motion. Even when he stopped to speak to her, she could barely hear him over that dull humming sound buzzing in his ears and his voice seemed deep and drawn out. Even after he was finished, Chloe seemed stuck inside a bubble, gazing at Blur in a daze as she tried her best formulate an answer.
"...tie...." Spots paused, rubbing the bridge of her nose, "...we'll tie them..."
More silence. Chloe sat in her own daze for another few minutes, now fighting the overwhelming urge to fall asleep. She shook herself awake and focused on Blur again, now visibly growing irritated with herself,
"UP!" She suddenly shouted, and as if that was the magic word, the phase passed over her, leaving nothing but a throbbing headache, "Tie them up, we'll tie them up!"
She snatched the wire dispenser off of Blur's belt and began to bind the PSALM members at their wrists and ankles. By the time she was working on the last man, Spots realized that the crowd had fell silent, except for one lone voice, stupidly continuing on his charade as if he still had support.
Amongst the silence was a lone man, still hobbling on one foot in a drunken anti mutant fit.
"WOO! KILL THOSE BASTARDS! WOO!" He cheered, not even noticing that his counterparts were no longer absorbed in the mutant problem.
He broke from the crowd, throwing his head back for another delightful chug of Belvedeere before tossing the bottle by its handle at the house's porch. Except, the force of the wind sent the bottle curving like a boomerang and it cracked the same man right in his nose. He hit the ground hard, gargling on his own thinned blood when out of sheer panic, a woman screamed,
"TORNADO!!!"
It was enough to send the crowd into pure panic. Cherub's mouth dropped open at their ignorance as they pushed past her. This wasn't a tornado at all! It was just some very violent wind! Really!
When Chloe heard the panic from outside, she stood up and started for the door,
"Blur, we need to take out all the PSALM member spectators we can, okay? We don't want any copycats. Ay, and try not to be flashy, we don't want them to think mutants just attacked, no?"

Shiloh nodded when he heard his instructions and hurried to catch up to Cherub. He was knocked from side to side from people scurrying away in the other direction along with the tough winds. He made it to her finally, panting heavily. No one even seemed to notice them for now, luckily.
"How am I supposed to defend her?" Shiloh wondered weakly, taking a wide stance so his nimble body didn't fly away.

Spots stepped outside and immediately dove into a crouch to gather herself from the wind. She watched the crowd scatter but just as she'd expected, there were three men in black, making their toward the house. Chloe leaped off the bench and went straight for the first one. She tackled him towards the ground before leaping in the air for the second member. She landed a kick to his head, sending the second guy through a wooden fence. When Spots turned around, the last PSALM member had a gun shakily pointed at Cherub.
"S-Stop o-or I'll shoot!!" He cried.

Before the PSALM member could even put his finger on the trigger, Blur had already bolted out of the house and landed a kick straight to the man's head. He rolled and pranced along the ground as all of the kinetic energy Genji had transferred to him was emptying. Finally, he stopped a couple of yards past the point he started out, and Genji only cheered.
"WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It was over, the wind died down with the final crowd dispersing and Genji's cheering even managed to put a small smile on Chloe's stern face. Good thing it was hidden behind the mask! Oh! The mask! Chloe yanked the black ski mask off her face and took a deep breath as she savored the cool air against her hot sweaty skin. Her relief of course was short lived for finally the Police rounding the street.
"Rendevous!" Chloe called out and took off into a full sprint. With a leap, she cleared the fence and bounded through the backyard towards their meeting point four miles down. If everything had gone according to plan, their exit strategy (SPARTAN IN A JET PLEASE) would be there, impatiently waiting for them while Kalina calmed the family down.
"Hey, ever taken a ride on wind?" Lillian asked Shiloh as she grabbed his hand, "What's that, you haven't? Me either, I've been trying but I'm not very good, we'll see, heh heh..."
A strong wind current swept the two off and they glided away, out of sight of the cops who finally pulled up to find a rioted neighborhood and 7 unconscious PSALM members dispersed on the innocent family's property.

Shiloh gulped and latched onto Lillian's hand for dear life when the wind swept them up. He had barely gotten used to flying in the calm, silent jet. Now the air was whipping against them and he couldn't even see the force that propelled them through the air, "Help!" He exclaimed with his eyes shut.
When they finally landed, Shiloh collapsed to the ground, completely disoriented from the flight. He flopped onto his stomach and tried getting up to no avail.

"Sorry about that!" Lillian laughed, patting Shiloh on the back before looking around to see who had made it back. To her delight, she saw everyone there relatively unharmed, even the family, whom Kalina stood next to, had no more than a few bruises and of course, were probably suffering from shock.
That was enough for Lillian to celebrate, she broke into a cheer and began her own victory dance, "The Strongmen are totally badass!!!"
"Sssh," Chloe hissed at Lillian, who immediately obeyed but continued the bubble with excitement about their victory. Even if Chloe was pretending to be all serious, Lillian knew that somewhere deep, deep, deep...DEEP inside the Ice Queen, she was happy too!
Chloe was pacing back and forth, already starting to think that they'd need to recalculate their exit strategy. Why the hell had she just assumed that Stylianos would pick them up? They weren't in Kindergarden. In fact, the more she mulled over the situation, the less likely it seemed.
"Tap, did you speak to anyone? Did anyone answer?" Chloe asked, glancing up nervously from her pacing.

As the group nervously awaited their ride, Stylianos's voice came through their earpieces. He sounded suspiciously groggy, as if he was just recently sleeping.
"'Ay, I'll be there in a minute. Shouldn't be hard to spot, it'll be the black helicopter," he told them with a tone that could mistaken as annoyance.
It was only a few minutes till the wind - not aided by Cherub - picked up from the spinning blades of the helicopter, which landed a few hundred yards away. Spartan didn't even wave them aboard, just waited impatiently for them to get on.
