It was a day full of meetings and scheduled phone calls. As always. Anya looked at the clock and had twenty minutes before her next meeting. Just enough time to head down to the cafeteria and grab something to eat. She was starving and needed some caffeine. She had too much blood in her caffeine stream. She hated it when that happened.

She stood up and left the office heading for the cafeteria.

	"Hardly, my schtick is killing people, not trying to do so. There's a subtle but discernable difference." Kelly responds cheerily, bouncing after Manny and Anya. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny tried to grab her arms, in an attempt to twist her arms behind her in an arm-lock. "You hurt, Bea! Wake the hell up!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As soon as Manny manages to hold back Anya, Jack sends a mass of webbing at her helmet, trying to interfere with any sensors. "Subtle? I thought this team had a policy of checking subtle at the front door?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya routed more energy into the suit and increasing the amount of strength it provided. With it up at full power, she tried to break free of Manny's grasp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Now that Manny is in a way giving him a clear shot, Martin can target his time freeze spell at Anya alone. He mouths the incantation and a characteristic blue seal might appear on the Boss before spreading across her to stop her in time. He hopes Manny can keep a hold of her so the spell targets properly.

I'm trying to freeze her. Can someone knock her out please if it works? That's only going to last a few minutes

Well, this had gotten... interesting. She had heard, of course, of American super-teams who spent a great deal of time fighting with themselves, and she had even seen some signs of it with this team, especially between Martin and Jack. But she had not expected to be witness to something like this.

Lacking the offensive capabilities to hurt a power-armor user, Adrienne instead focused on staying out of the line of fire.

	There's eventually some quiet cursing in Askani. "Kelly, not in front of the kids," Bea mutters as consciousness is sinking back in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny struggles to hold Anya in place, that suit gave her more power that he thought. So out of desperation, Manny latched around her and went dead-weight, forcing her to compensate for his considerable bulk and weight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, is there a plan for a teammate going crazy like this?" Jack looks around, not sure what to do now that Manny seems to have Anya pinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Several, a number of which require Bea, and then there's a few of them which rely upon noble sacrifices or mass property destruction. I thought I'd give people a chance to improvise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin focuses on keeping the spell up. If he did that it'd last longer, though he knows this isn't a solution. He can redo the spell every few minutes but it wasn't going to solve the problem and would be taxing on his concentration which meant eventually there'd be a slip up.

His cloaking spell fades and for the first time this fight, Martin is visible to all of them. I don't know, this is the first super-team I've been on. Anyone going to knock her out? Just so you know, I can't do healing spells so...yeah. And now would be a good time you know....

"Just keep her still a little longer." Kelly responds, bolting back towards her room for some of her infiltration tools and an EMP grenade.

"Need to make sure her countermeasures are down, with her frozen like that, she shouldn't be able to respond fast enough." she continues, as she's working on gathering everything to test to make sure she's getting the right readings for the EMP to even work.

"And yes, this happens all the time. We have a rotating attempted homicide cycle. Next Tuesday is Manny's turn."

"She can't respond at all," Martin corrects with a frown. Time freeze meant time stopped, even if the basic spell would last only a few minutes even if he didn't do anything. He could extend it a bit with some concentration but it was more reliable, if risky, to just put a new one on.

Since he's got a minute or so before he needs to do that, a small blue disc is conjured up near Bea for her to use as a support or hand up if she wants to stand. Still, he hopes the others hurry it up a bit.

	Jack waves a hand in front of Anya's webbed and armored head, even tapping it gently. "What do we do with her? Anyone got any permanent marker?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm on my way back with suitable toys and a can opener." Kelly calls over coms, coming back and checking Anya's power flow, trying to figure out if her EMP will shut her down - totally and entirely willing to get the nanites too as necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With Anya safely secure, Manny rushes over to Bea. "Are you..okay?" he says, trying to sound professional..and failing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly comes back into view, running hard to try and make it before the spell wears off. She places a small pad under the outer armor behind one knee.

"Ok, in theory, that should send a data spike - tell her her stabilizers are in trouble. Given her fear of not being able to walk, I'm pretty sure that is set to divert power to the legs and jets. That should give about a quarter-second opening for me to drop this EMP grenade... no way it'd work in a fight... but with the right placement... and exploiting a phobia to make an educated guess... oh, and the base will have no power whatsoever for about an hour. Martin, give me a countdown to releasing her, timing is going to be critical."
