Nightshift 27: Hallway outside of M1-M40 block

[From here]

Recluse stopped at the agreed upon meeting spot, scanning the halls for any sign of Marcus. Typical. Of course he'd be made to wait. He found a spot that was darker than most, hands clenching and unclenching as he waited, seething.

Lord Recluse? What kind of name was that? It was possibly even worse than "Doc Ock," and that was saying something. Peter had to try very, very hard not to snicker at that.

Luckily, he was provided a distraction in the form of the one named Yuber suddenly teleporting away. Just like everyone else, Peter was left with his mouth hanging open for a few seconds. Eddie hadn't been lying when he said that the majority of people in this place had powers -- it was making his head spin a little.

Peter had to admit that Logan's jab at Statesman brought a quirk to his lips. That was along the lines of how he felt about the situation - he wasn't used to taking orders from people, and he couldn't help that he was still skeptical.

The girl seemed to be concerned that they wouldn't be able to take care of themselves, but Peter would really prefer that it was just he and Logan. He glanced at her and smiled. "We'll be fine." Not that he knew where they were going or what their goal was, but he was sure they could work it out.

And Yuber was suddenly gone, teleported away. He looked at Recluse, frowning. "They let him teleport?" While we aren't allowed to fly.

"Don't worry, we'll get to it, Recluse," Statesman was becoming increasingly irritated by Recluse and then Yuber and the sound of the pipes creaking, and what he had just heard over people's radios...

He took Logan's quip in stride, it was far from the most irritating thing going on in the conversation right now. "Try to figure out what happened inside the hospital just now, I heard the pipes making noise so check out a bathroom first. I'll head outside with Recluse and Reinforce to see if there is anything out there."

Recluse probably wouldn't be very happy about being forced to go outside, but once they had a look around they could go do whatever Recluse felt was so urgent.

Recluse noticed Parker's reaction to his name. His only reaction was a slight snarl, gone in an instant. He was used to it by this point, even if he was always irritating- it had originally been meant as an insult, anyway. If Parker couldn't figure out the more informative reasoning behind the name, then he really didn't deserve to have it spelled out for him.

He stayed quiet this time. Going outside would mean a detour, but he'd still eventually get where he wanted to go.

...As long as Marcus didn't go running into other's fights. In that (very, very likely case), he might just leave. It wasn't Villain nature to be selfless, after all.

"Very well." Reinforce accepted both their division into teams and proposed mission. She'd thusfar remained ambivalent on the subject of the man on the radio... it was time to see what his warnings were worth.

It was definitely good she'd come along. Statesman and Recluse were both powerfully-built and armed, definitely people she wouldn't want to have to fight the way things stood at Landel's, but in the face of so ominous a warning it was best they have her magic as well. She could only hope that what little remained would be enough...

"Alright, bub, we'll do what we can. If we don' run inta ya agin ta'night', I'll give ya a run down o' how we did in tha mornin'" If we survive that long.

Logan was pleased that he had a weapon; without his claws, it was a welcome addition to his arsenal. He was determined to get something done tonight - even if he couldn't get a crack at that Landel creep (He would tomorrow, God willing), he at least had to do SOMETHING useful. He turned back to Parker.

"Let's move out, kid. Stick behin' me an' stay close. Ain' no way o' knowin' what's out there." He moved away, quickly, close to the ground, senses on high alert.

This ol' guided missile be shootin' thru to this fine mess (http://community.livejournal.com/damned/237705.html).

Marcus frowned at Recluse's snarling, giving him a warning look. He was not going to tolerate that sort of behavior.

"I'll speak with you in the morning. I doubt we'll be seeing one another again tonight," He really hoped they were both still in one piece in the morning, but Logan looked like he knew what he was doing.

Marcus turned to Reinforce and Recluse. "If we see people being attacked that need help, we'll be fighting, otherwise, let's try to avoid trouble."

Having given out his orders, Marcus turned to lead the way outside.
