Taking Flight pt. 3, Earning Their Wings
In the process of spending a ton of time getting everyone's new computer equipment set up, Jordan does some reading. If this is going to be Alpha Flight, he wants to make sure they're not missing anything important. He's read the contracts several times, but the government and Alpha Flight's history may include something he's missed.

While skimming, something makes him stop in the Weapon X Project. Sure, its officially disbanded, but it was still another government run organization - if something like that started up again, where would they fall?

"The hell? Why did they move all the equipment to the states? That doesn't make any sense." He does some more digging, including a little hacking. Just a little, really. Every step he takes makes him more and more confused. Especially when some cross checking turns up the news regarding Logan's sons.

"This is really not good."

He pokes the coms. "Folks, I think we have a problem."

Eventually, Alex got them to a forested area not far from the facility.

It was only a bit of a walk to the edge of cover.

Consulting and confirming that she'd get in touch as soon as she'd found somewhere and new something, Mel carefully melted into the dirt. Various flowers got a slight more tinge of violet, but mostly she confined any stains to the dirt beneath the grass. A slight sense of apprehension filled the air.
Once she was inhabiting the dirt, Melanie gradually started to habit the adjacent ground, once more keeping the stains from being obvious to anyone who might be watching. After a few minutes to move over, she started phasemorphing way down deep.

The first wall...well, more of a ceiling, she hits, she really doesn't like. At all. It's not a nice ceiling.

	Once everyone was on the ground Alex shifted to something a little less conspicuous but still possessing wings. When they got closer and inside, he'd switch to something more effective for dealing with any resistance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alex, she's going to need your help scouting the place out. Can you do insects? Remember, don't do anything yet, we need to act as a team. Just figure out if they have Logan's kids in there or not and get back out. We'll do the hitting all together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you can help, Emily, go for it. Right now, I'm going to remain outside so if something goes wrong, we have someone out here. First thing though is just doing the recon. Find out if the Logan boys are in there. If they are, then we regroup and start the assault. If they aren't, we back off and report this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex flew down to the ground and turned into a Brazilian Wandering spider. /I would appreciate a lift inside. This isn't exactly the fastest form of transportation./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily points with her left arm, showing off the arm band. With a gesture, a bird flies down to pick Alex up to carry him towards the building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Various scientists, technicians, and paramilitary personel might feel the slightest odd feeling, and thankfully avoid looking at the the shading of shadowed electrical sockets and other unobtrusive spots. Mel did unobtrusive well. It often worked well for anxiety purposes.

And she gradually is one room after the other, listening all the while.

Finally, she finds herself a completely uninhabited, unwired storage closet, and comes out of the wall enough to properly use the coms and whisper. "it's...kind of like st. michael's hospital and jail at the same time. heard names... romanov and roberts."

	"Awesome job. Alex, figure out, roughly, where they are, and get back here. We have a job to do. Mel, can you calm people down? I don't want anyone panicking over a spider before he has a chance to find good crawlspaces." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	/Right,/ he said as he's dropped near an air vent. The panic at being a spider and being picked up by a bird was subsiding. One thing he learned very early on is not to assume the shape of an animal that is seen at prey. Alex crawled down the air vent and listened for voices. They would be his guide.

	"...'kay." And Mel melts back into the wall and permeates into the people-heavy area as much as she can, carefully trying to cultivate a bit of the same air as a lazy sunny afternoon at home. Nothing too tense. Nothing too on guard. It helps to think of Dad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex made his way through the air vents. /One kid in a cell and a redhead in another one,/ he reported back. /Still looking for Romanoff./ Down another air vent and into another. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina found her lips pressed into a thin line. Compared to the others, her abilities only had limited utility in a place like this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2009-09-12 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Alex wandered down the vent until he came to the end. He looked down. /I found Romanoff. He's strapped to a chair and it looks like they're working him over good./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily looks concerned. This is the first time she's ever done anything like this, but she takes several deep breaths to calm her nerves. Still, she says nothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)
