To finish panicking and regroup
The quiet, isolated little spot was a rather sickly lavender color, and a slight feeling of light-headed fear hung in the air.

'Just in case they said anything to all of you," Mel whispered. "My dad's not a terrorist. Anything they said about my grandfather is true, but not my dad." For some reason, it was very important to her to say this.

	"Don't worry, Mel. We know the truth," Alex assured her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Marrina shook her head. "They didn't say anything to me," she said. She frowned. "Dear God, I hope Namor doesn't find out about this. I'd really rather he didn't invade Canada." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel came up a little more out of the ground to hold Alex. "Oh dear. That would be bad. Do they get television in Atlantis?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex reached out to take Mel's hand. He gave it a squeeze to reassure her. "We'll get this all cleared up. Then we can go home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I... think he monitors some surface world transmissions," Marrina said. "Or has people who do." She sighed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel listens, to both of them. She squeezes Alex's hand. "What do we do now?" Pause. "Have you had enough water now, Marrina?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason groans as consciousness returns to him, and he really wishes it wouldn't. His stomach makes as much noise as he does. He looks almost fifteen pounds lighter, and he's hardly 'beefy' to begin with. "Urgh... am I dead? It's not fair if I have to be hungry if I'm dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-07-16 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Good enough, Mel," she replied. "I'd like a full soak, but..." She shook her head, brightening slightly (but also with worry) when Mason awoke. She went to his side. "Not dead," she assured him. "You saved us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel had found a cherry tree nearby and gotten some. She passed a few over for Mason. "How're we supposed to figure out who did it when all we really know is they look like us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-07-16 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Alex didn't think anyone could look like Mel and that wonderful shade of purple she was, but he didn't say that out loud. "They had ways of duplicating most of our powers. If they were tech based, Jordan can find them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2010-07-16 11:39 am UTC (link)
	"If they're using tech, I'll melt whatever disguises they're using right off them." Mason growls as he snatches up the cherries and devours them. "Thanks Mel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ok guys, first, relax. People need to recover from their injuries. We're going to find them... they had to have some way of duplicating our powers. Assuming we don't have clones, that means either magic or technology. With our resources, I doubt anyone would have used magic... so odds are good it was tech based. Assuming their goal wasn't just to frame us, they also had something planned for once we were out of the way... something we'd interfere with if we were around... Ok, I think I have a plan. Alex, need you to borrow some things for us - I'll pay the store later. I need some things to disguise Mel. People know our faces, but in her case, they'll be looking for the color... Mel, I'm going to have you get me some electronics. Mason, going to have you to some finesse transmuting... I'm going to hack the power company and see if we can find any unusual big draws of power that hit around the time of the attacks. Can you guys handle that? Marrina... you get to keep an eye on Mason, make sure he doesn't overextend himself."

	Mel turned a deeper burgundy, took a few breaths. "...'kay. What do we need?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can do that," Marrina said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tell me what you need," Alex said as he put an arm around Mel. "They don't know my face so it shouldn't be too hard to get in and out places." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan nods - give them something to do, and the team clicks. He lists of what he'll need. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason speaks up as Alex asks about food. "Heavy stuff. Lots of calories, lots of fat, lots of carbs. I need energy to transmute stuff again...and make the room stop spinning." He holds his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex nodded and gave Mel a tight hug. He shifted into a falcon and took off. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Alex returned sometime later with all of the requested items. It had taken some time, but he managed to get everything. There were a few boxes of pasta and a few jars of sauce for Mason and Jordan and the other items Jordan wanted. Alex dropped the bags off outside the cabin and then took off again to go hunting. Deer or elk cooked over a fire sounded good.

He returned some time later with an eleven point buck in his claws.

	Marrina was working through her third bottle of water, having drank the first two in rather quick succession. Her black eyes widened. "Wow. Good job, Alex." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-07-21 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," Alex said after shifting to human. He felt exhausted and felt like he could sleep for a few days. "If someone would get a fire started, I'll start skinning the deer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll try to make enough for you to dunk yourself as soon as my strength's back up." Mason reassures Marrina, before wobbling to his feet and working on digging out a firepit. The rocks he collects in the process get put aside to be used as fuel.

"I've got some good ignition material here. We just need wood or cloth or something to burn." He looks himself over. "Sorry I already used up my shirt in the escape."

	Mason hesitates, face curling up, before mumbling something. "Ndsmwunthelpmehcarryit..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-07-21 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Marrina would look back on this and find Mason adorably dorky. Hopefully. "I'll help, Mason," she offered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel smiles at Alex. "Once we've got it started, I'll make sure nothing happens to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2010-07-21 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Alex smiled at Mel. "Thank you." He grabbed a hunting knife and went to start skinning the deer. They all needed to eat soon so they could rest. (Reply to this)(Parent)
