Nightshift 29: M1-M10 Hallway

[Currently from within M2]

Daemon been half afraid this night would be a repeat of last, that he would continue, night after night, to be trapped as a puppet of this place. An illogical fear, maybe, but there all the same. He'd been used for such things for far too long to not anticipate a re-occurrence. The relief he felt when none were forthcoming was almost breathtaking in its force.

Settling back on his bed, he made himself comfortable, fully intending to wait for Renji to show up for their scheduled brawl. He was actually looking forward to, an equal meeting, a way to work off some of the frustration and helpless rage this place was so good at instilling in them. He was certain he could use the outlet as much as the redhead.

Darkness fell, and the radio snapped on overhead once, then again, signaling the change of things out in the building, although there was no doctor taunting them this night, only the harsh gutteral sounds of a transformed nurse, if his guess was right. He listened to the words with a fierce frown, sliding his legs over the bed and wondering if he should really be waiting here in his room while others were being dragged away for much worse tortures than he'd endured last night...

The pondering lasted all of a moment. That was when he felt it. Felt her.

For one long moment, he stood there in the center of the room, frozen in shock, and then a roar of disbelief and fury escaped him, the temperature dropping to an icy degree within the four walls, a covering of frost coating the furniture almost instantly as his rage unleashed. Without pausing to grab anything other than his flashlight to illuminate his way, Daemon tore out of the room, following the faint pulse of familiar Ebony power that filled him with both furious and joyous relief.

She was here. She was here and afraid, and she was alive.

[Going here.]

"I'm all set," Hughes affirmed, nodding. No sense in standing around wasting time, when they were ready to go. Though he was also curious as to what exactly they'd be doing tonight.

Whatever it was, he just hoped they'd be successful.

With that all cleared up, Roy moved out of his room and closed the door behind him quietly. There hadn't been any real reason to leave out what they were doing on the bulletin board other than his regular amount of paranoia. It was better if the rest of the institute didn't know exactly what he was doing come nightshift.

This was the second time in a night he hadn't had to make a weapon, and the fact that he wasn't standing at a slouch or leaning against a wall made him feel more like his old self.

"We're heading upstairs. I managed to check a few more of the doors last night," he started, jostling the keys in his pocket by way of explanation, "but there's still the farther end of the floor to check."

He shrugged at his two companions. "It's not very exciting, but it needs to be done." Hopefully they wouldn't mind.

"You gotta do what you gotta do." Axel remarked after Roy's answer. Still, the second floor seemed to house more activity so it probably wouldn't be as simple as it looked. Anything was fine, so he saw no room to complain about being offered something so mundane.

But there was also that possibility that someone was being experimented on tonight. The redhead already had his fair share of the experience, having been both a victim and a rescuer on a few accounts. According to the board it looked like there were already a few people who'd been assigned the 'job' of rescuing the captive patients, but would it really be enough?

"Well if there isn't anything else, let's get going." Axel grinned, already beginning their trudge down the hallway.

"Maybe we'll get lucky." Hughes shrugged. Upstairs tended to have more of everything, from what he'd heard. Made sense to head that way - and maybe finally unlock a door or two.

"Let's get going."

It was nice, not getting any complaints. Roy hadn't exactly been expecting any, but he could understand if Hughes, at least, was sick of the same old chore. Eventually some sort of results would be reached, though, and then they could move onto other things. There had been a lot of talk of the basement...

With a nod, he started down the hallway. For once, he had enough strength to take the lead.
