Downtown Ottawa
"We are standing here at 207 Bank Street outside the US Embassy in Ottawa where it appears that Alpha Flight, Canada's premier superhero team is attacking. Large sections of the building are being destroyed and even nature itself appears to be attacking as the winds have picked up and large chunks of hail are breaking windows. A member of Alpha Flight zoomed into the building and appeared on the roof with the ambassador. A moment later the member dropped the ambassador and he fell to the pavement below.

Police are on the scene, but are unable to stop Alpha Flight. Police cars and officers have been thrown around and it doesn't appear anything or anyone is going to be able to stop this apparent rampage by Alpha Flight. What has caused Alpha Flight to do this? Why are they doing this? There are too many questions to be answered at this moment.

Wait a minute. What's this? It now appears that the damage is done and lives have been lost, Alpha Flight is leaving the scene. The police aren't giving chase at the moment, but this reporter is sure that the military will apprehend Alpha Flight at some point."

They'd told her the food she was eating was the same food they gave her grandfather at Ryker's. With knowing glowering, like she didn't know her grandfather was a monster. Like that was news. Her stomach was in knots; she felt so awful. But it was when they made reference to 'the background on /both/ sides of the family that she got quietly angry. And more scared. So scared.

After the questions, she was sick. And sick again. As she lay on the floor, she could hear the guards, somewhere in the distance, comment that she wasn't much for a 'third-generation terrorist.'

She didn't know what was supposed to happen now.

The metal wasn't very comfortable at all as she slipped a little into the floor.
And then she felt it. Jordan. Jordan needed her.
Mel took a deep breath, gathered her strength --- it wasn't much, but it would have to do, so it was going to do -- and worked her way slowly into the floor, the walls, towards Jordan.

The room will be nervous and upset once she gets to it, but she'll get to it.

The Canadian government took great pains to make sure Jordan couldn't escape his imprisonment. They spared no expense when it came to something that could contain his strength and make sure he was locked down.

Thankfully, he's not worried about breaking himself out, not directly. As soon as he picks up on Mel's presence he sits back against the wall where he senses her, and speaks quietly.

"Get Mason out. They'll have him in wood and rope, nothing you can't handle. Get to Alex, just have Mason make a big enough hole a garter snake can get through and Alex will figure it out. As soon as the hole is made, trust him to go get Marrina. They have them close together and he'll be able to smell her. He should have it easy, since you and Mason will draw all the attention - that should buy him time to get Marrina and get her to water. Then its your call - Mason will want to rescue Marrina, then me - you need to get him to trust Alex to handle Marrina. After that, its your decision. If there's too much security, make a break for it, I'll be fine. If you can make it, tell Mason not to try manipulating my bonds - even secondary adamantium tends to resist transmutation. But there's got to be something in the electronic lock he can mess with - just get him to do that. I can't break the chains, but all the chains in the world won't do any good if the bonds unlock - then run for it and let me cover you. If you understand these instructions, give me a sign and get to it - we're all counting on you."

	There'll be a subtle bit of a concentration of violet shading on the shadowed wall within his sight. It essentially forms an 'OK,' and then it's gone. Some time later, Mel's carefully into Mason's room, carefully undoing the ropes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason hears the shuffling of ropes and goes to his peek-hole. "Mel? Are we busting out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a very soft shushing sound. "Jordan says it's time to go. We get Alex next." And she keeps working at getting him out with maximum efficiency. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Once he sees enough ropes fall off, he carefully lifts the lid up. He's got a black eye and some bruising from when the guards forced him in, but he's alright.

"What about Marrina? What if they're experimenting on her or something? And how are we supposed to get out without Jordie? I mean, of course we'll rescue Alex too, but.." He trails off as he climbs out of the box, not sure what to do.

"We get Jordan last, if we can. Jordan said so, and it's his plan."

And she'll sink through floors and walls for a moment, and for a moment, there'll be the slightest, tiniest whispers in the air currents of Alex's room.

"Alex... soon.... Find Marrina. Get her to water"

And as soon as she can, after observing more of the security surroundings, she returns to Mason, showing him the right wall, and pointing to the corner. "Make it something there could be a little snakehole in. Then get ready to move"

"All right..."

Mason puts his hands to the wall. They're thick, thick and dense. He shuts his eyes to concentrate. "Come on girl... talk to me..." It's not like being back at headquarters, where he could obsess over every little detail of the blueprints and get an idea ahead of time. It's a lot of information coming at him at once as he feels out the wall and it's contents.

Hit a support line and the wall could crack too much. Hit a utility line and they'll have too much attention on them. Too convoluted a path and he won't be able to make it in enough transmutations.

He lets out a breath as his hands tense, and a tunnel, not quite straight, but not tangled, forms in the wall. A second transmutation and it's wide enough for at least a small snake to get through.

	Alex shifted into the smallest snake he possibly could. Snakes, thankfully had a knack for getting through very small spaces. He slithered through the small opening and out into the hallway. //I will go get Marrina.// With that he shifted into the beagle and ran off down the hall. He could smell Marrin and it was just a matter of following the scent. (Reply to this)(Parent)
