Brief: Team 2 is Charge (Del), Thorn (Dan), Sin (Damaru), Dozer (Del), Gravefear (Caleb)
PSALM has been getting more active and more violent. Things will get worse before they get better. They are having a large organizational and morale-boosting gathering at PSALM's headquarters outside of Dallas. Show 'em mutants won't take this lying down. Destroy what you can, but if you can obtain any information on their future plans, do so. Lethal force is a viable option when necessary.
Sitting in the white van, which was in the Dallas sun, was a boring way to spend your time, but it would be worth it. The group of five young mutants sat, most anxious with anticipation. This was their kind of work - hard hitting, face pounding, property destructive work. They were whirling dervishes in waiting. Parked about a block from PSALM's headquarters building, they were merely waiting on the signal.
"I fold," grumbled Charge, placing his cards on the floor between the five of them. He'd been fishing to stay in with a 6 and 7, on suit. But nothing was showing. Best to fold.
OOC: Take a post to introduce your villain. I'll be updating the G.U.A.R.D. files some more today, so you should be able to find out info about your teammates.

Sin was leaning against the window of the van, watching languidly as the road sifted by when the vehicle sped past. She ignored the game of cards.
Being on a mission with the purpose of destruction didn't fit with her powers, but it didn't much matter to her--she assumed she was there as backup. Still, it gave her a chance to rub it in Ares' face that she was going on the "better" mission. Hers was to search and destroy; theirs was to search and rescue. She chuckled mildly to herself. What a juxtaposition. Arrogance circulated in her veins the more she remembered the incredulous look on his face.

OOC: Btw, Thorn is Amy's nickname, Lust is Del's nickname.
Del too threw his cards on the ground.
"Alas, my heart weeps as I too must fold. My expert hands are better suited in the field of women, not cards."
Lust held his hand up in front of his face, examining his nails. Had to keep them perfect.

"Funny how you act like a homo but still like women." Sin muttered amusedly, still wallowing in a current state of haughtiness. She normally didn't call people out, but after her taunting of Ares the pride seemed to consume her nature. In turn, that pride translated to condescendence towards others, especially the people she had little respect for. Then again, she hardly had respect for anyone.

"And funny how one so beautiful as yourself can act so vulgar" Lust said casually and unphased by her remark, eyeing Sin. It was true, she was quite the beauty, he found, but her personality was very........unbeautiufl.

"I'll take the pot, then," Dozer stated with satisfaction, grinning as she pulled the small pile of change to sit beneath her feet. Allie was excited to win, and excited to be on a mission. She had actually been on a lot - her little trio with Mask and Flips had been active - but this sounded like a good one. She welcomed the change, as well as the presence of another girl, but she spoke to Sin and Lust, "but stop your flirting, you too."
Hanging out with Sin was always a crapshoot. Sometimes she'd be fun, but other times obnoxious. Allie hadn't exactly figured out how to dictate her moods.
"I hope the signal comes soon," she said as Charge began to deal another hand.
"Patience, Dozer, we'll be out of here soon, and then we'll get it done," Charge said calmly as he picked up his cards.

Gravefear sighed heavily and shook his head as he calmly picked up the new hand of cards dealt. He too wanted the signal to be given, being stuck in a van for too long was very boring. He looked at his cards and smirked. Full House. he flipped in a couple of coins and sat back, eying everyone playing. He was very excited about this mission, it was a good mission to use phasing, but then again, when isn't there a mission that's good for phasing? He was especially excited because not only did he get to use his phasing but he also got to strike terror in the hearts of others. Pure terror...how fun.

"You got a plan?" Allie asked as she folded, 2-7 off. She cursed under her breath.
Charge shrugged as he tossed a couple of nickels in. Pocket Jacks wasn't a bad start, "Figure us four will take the front, try to put some fear into 'em. See how may people want to play hero. During this commotion, Gravefear goes around back, phases into some offices, finds the info we need."
Allie turned to look at Gravefear. Her gave her the willies, "You okay with that? You can just...scare whoever is in the offices to death, or whatever you do."
Even talking to him was creepy.

Sin snorted derisively and simply turned her head back to the window, rising hubris lowering to a simmer. She didn't care about who did what; she just wanted to get away from these people as soon as possible. Though she tolerated being with them and even exchanged banter once in a while, she was constantly annoyed by the prep, goth, gay, and Puerto Rican (Mexican, Spanish, whatever, who cares?, she thought) jock.
"Are we there yet?" she asked dryly, adding an irritated edge to the whiny tone kids usually used when they were getting impatient.

Gravefear turned to face Allie. He nodded slightly with a grave glare. He tossed his cards into the middle and leaned back against a window. He was really tired of waiting, especially now he could get some scaring done.

There was a beeping sound, causing both Dozer and Charge to turn.
"Time to go," Charge said, tossing his cards down. He pulled on a pair of leather gloves and opened the back of the van and climbed out into the light.
"Everybody ready? Let's just intimidate them," Dozer said as she strode around the corner and towards the front doors. Everybody but Gravefear, but she didn't feel it needed to be stated.

"And so it begins," Lust smiled, then stood by the door, making a 'this way out' gesture to Sin with his arms.
"Now, ladies first," He said oh so slyly, partly because of his lovey-dovey manner, partly to see her cute face get aggrivated.

Sin rolled her eyes at Lust's mocking chivalry and hopped off the ledge of the van, shoving her hands in her pockets. She slouched slightly as she walked, portraying bad posture for a girl. "You three are obviously going to be doing the heavy work, so don't bug me unless you have to." she said offhandedly, referring to Charge, Dozer, and Lust.

Gravefear smiled and stepped out of the van slowly. He stared down the others as he mad his way to the back of the building where the information was contained. He phased through the wall into a room with the building's power in it. He sprayed himself with the cologne and damaged the lights in the building to make them flicker. "What the hell?" he heard someone shout. "I'll go check it out guys, probably just a surge." The man made his way through the flickering lights when he came to a complete stop. He began to smell something strange in the air. He shrugged and kept walking. He then quickly turned when he heard a loud bang from behind him. He then stood in absolute shock as a terrifying person..or thing came out of the wall. He backed up all the way to the opposite end of the hallway as he saw blood begin to run down the side walls and the fast twitching creature walked towards him. The lights flickered again and the thing disappeared. The man sighed heavily and stepped forward a little. He shook his head.
"I need some sleep..." He said as he slowly turned around to face Gravefear again.
"Boo..." Gravefear whispered. His voice sounded like a million demons to the man. The man in utter shock fell to the ground without a word.

"What, you can't fight now, Sin?" Dozer called back to her. She was in the front with Charge, while Lust and Sin were behind. Gravefear was likely off to his hijinks.
"Dozer?" Charge stated with a grin, indicating the door.
"No need," she laughed, merely pulling it up. He seemed to be implying she should bust it down. The four strode in, drawing attention. They looked out of place.
"So, who here hates mutants? Raise your hands."

"Wow, so much trash here. I hate doing community service." Sin drawled, surveying the people in the room. Her powers would have done little to assist, and even if she did invoke such things as pride, sloth, and wrath it would mostly disorient them and cause them to act irrationally. If she had to fight she could rely on her decent close quarters combat ability, and she also had a gun tucked away at her hip. Whether or not it was a human-made product she didn't care; she separated race from tools and weaponry.

There were murmurs. Who were they? What were they doing here? They were young, out of place.
"Excuse me, but is there something we can do for you?" asked a young man with short dark hair, wearing a PSALM tee and camo pants, trying his best to be polite.
"Yeah, we're here to see what PSALM is about," Charge responded.
"Well, we're an organization aimed at protecting the rights of human beings against uncontrollable and unaccountable forces known as mutants," the PSALM member explained, a little suspicious of the question, but attempting diplomacy.
"Don't humans have rights? I thought it was the mutants who didn't have them," Allie said a little defensively. She had an attitude.
"Humans have the right to happiness and safety, which can't be afforded to them while mutants are menacing them!" yelled a woman from the crowd.

Lust casually walked up to the young lady, putting his arm around her.
"Amazing that such horrible, horrible rubbish is coming from such a beautifully slender mouth."
He chuckled, and lengthened his index finger into a long pointy blade, cutting her cheek every so slightly, watching blood trickle down.
"Ooooooooh, I just love your red blood, it makes me go just......WILD!" Lust now turned around to face all the humans, all 10 fingers elongated into their blades.
OOC: sorry if we were hiding their powers or something, I couldn't resist. I can edit if needed.

Sin watched as Lust revealed his extended, sharp blades which formed from his fingers. She smirked at the people's expressions and stalked towards them slowly as well. "Amazing. I can't believe how conceited you all are. Thinking humans are superior yet also the victims... Kind of says something about you as a race, doesn't it?" Sin cocked her head to the side, staring harshly at the young man of PSALM who tried his hand at a civilized approach. "How noble of you!" she mocked, bearing a smile as she rested a hand on the young man as if to congratulate him.

"They're mutants!" some Captain Obvious blurted out.
"Call the police!"
"Get security!"
"Screw that, I'll get those freaks myself!"
"Don't touch me! You should all leave!" the man Sin was touching cried, slapping her hand away. He stepped backwards, looking ready for a fight. Apparently PSALM inspired foolish courage, but the people did have numbers.
A few members of their security force arrived, armed with pistols. They looked more like rent-a-cops that private security task units.
"Got guns coming in," Charge stated, pulling out a thin metal tongue depressor and jamming it into an electric socket. The lights flickered briefly as he pulled out what he could in a short window. He didn't have all day, but he could feel the power surging through him.

Gravefear smiled as he calmly strolled down the hallway to where the guy came from. As he rounded the corner another guy was coming. "Hey Dan, I heard you scream. Is everything alri..oh shit..." the man said stepping back at Grave's terrifying appearance. He really enjoyed the cologne. It worked like a charm. The man then turned around and ran the opposite direction. "Guys! There's something in the hallway!!!" he screamed. Pretty soon five guys came out with guns to find...nothing. "B-but I saw him...He had big red eyes and black smoke came from his mouth as he breathed...It was terrible...the lights were flashing. I've never felt so creeped out in my life..." The man said to his angry friends.
"Yeah okay Mark...Get the hell back to your post slacker...speaking of slackers, where the fuck is Dan?" the biggest guy said. But as soon as he said that, a stunned Dan came from behind the other side of the hall shivered and mumbling to himself.
"M-m-monster....m-m-m-monster...walls...bloody walls...boogeyman..." he said as the others ran up to get him.
"Oh great..." The big one said again as he grabbed his radio. "Johnny this is Butch, we have a problem with Dan and Mike, they're seeing things back here."
"Well you're gonna hafta do something about it on your own. We have mutant problems up here..." A voice responded.
"Mutants...So that's what this is...WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FREAK!!!" Butch yelled, his voice echoed through the halls. They all jumped at a loud bang followed by a strange smell...cologne? They watched closely as across the hall a figure came out of the wall. It was a very scary man. "W-what do you want!?" Butch yelled at Grave. Grave stepped forward quickly coming close to the men.
"For you to succumb to the fear..." he whispered as he walked through the wall into a nearby room.
"FOLLOW HIM! MAKE SURE HE WISHES HE DIDN'T MESS WITH US!!!!" Butch said waving the men into the room. The door shut behind them and then the lights went out. Screams and hits could be heard and when the lights came back on. Everyone was down but Butch and standing right in front of him with read eyes and shadowy smoke flowing from his mouth was Gravefear. "Okay kid...you asked for it!" Butch said lunging at Grave with a punch. Grave blocked it, kicked the man in the stomach several times and punched him in the face. "Okay...w-what do you want? Anything just name it..." Butch pleaded as Grave took out the cologne bottle and sprayed it on Butch's face. He walked over the the door and opened it. He turned around and turned off the light.
"For you to scream..." he said walking out of the room and closing the door behind him. Butch's screams of terror from the cologne could be heard from the other side of the door. Grave smiled and made his way to where the men were posted. There he found a bunch of file cabinets. He phased his hand through the cabinet and opened it. He looked through all of the cabinets in the same manner and finally found one with the files labeled, "Phase One" through "Phase Six". He shrugged and took all six of them. After trashing the room he casually strolled through to the front of the building where he could hear commotion from the other side of a large door. They were definitely striking some fear into the PSALM people.

Sin reacted by clutching the young man's shoulders and spinning him about until his back was pressed to her. She pulled out her gun and raised it threateningly to his head. She pulled him back with slow strides, eyeing the security force. "So I hear you humans like to make 'necessary sacrifices.' How about you guys shoot his face off first, hm?" She grinned cockily, haughtiness radiating towards the other humans. Some of them lowered their guns, either thinking she wouldn't pull the trigger or that they could take her down before anything happened.
Sin smirked at their action, and while keeping her gaze on them, she leaned closer to her hostage's ear to murmur, "By the way, nice butt." She let out a short gackle and locked her arm around his neck more tightly.

"Don't think I didn't hear that, darling!" Lust shouted out to Sin, who was clearly in a nearly similar lustful state.
"You compliment these humans while leaving my poor delicate heart to be broken by your harsh tongue? It hurts my very soul!" He shouted out slightly jokingly as he used his fingerblades to slash at the armed men as they were distracted by Sin.

Sin continued to waddle backwards whilst clutching her hostage, directing an amused grin at Lust. "I hate guys who try too hard." She cocked her head and switched her stare to the men who were aiming their guns at her and the man she held as a shield. She watched on, unaffected as Lust skewered and slashed some men in the force. "Come on you cowards! You can't kill one of your own to get to me? That's one of your principles, right?! 'Acceptable losses'?!" she yelled, inciting anger from the rest of the people. Rifles clicked as they aimed and focused on her, leaving her teammates to take them out while the security squad was distracted.

Gravefear phased through the door he was standing behind and revealed himself to the people that the others were terrorizing. His cologne had warn off after his little scuffle. He walked past the stunned faces and by Charge. He placed the files onto Charge's chest as he walked by and leaned up against the wall near where the others had entered.
