Attack of the Evil Grandfathers: Escape.
Zeb had to admit it: as absurd villain team-ups went, the writers could have done much worse. His current partner was fabulous at that techie-stuff. The Mad Thinker's hacking of the surveillance had hidden Zeb's little fast from the guards and, once his powers were in working order, lured them into his cell. Then the suckers had unlocked the doors for them and ...'escorted' them out. Now, they were planning their next move over a shish kebab. Well, part planning. Part showing off pictures of the grandkids, as they pulled little bits of film-study off the internet.

Such as footage of a couple of Alpha Flight members going to Easter Mass.

"Give me that thing for a minute, Denk?" And Zeb took the stolen eyephone and sent off a voice message. "Melanie. This is your Deda. Saw your easter pictures, kiddo. Bad enough, any blood of mine in a church, but the little white shoes and little white dress? You look like a fucking '70s nurse. Oh well. At least the writers decided to shake things up a little. And this is just the prelude. Be seeing you!"

He turned it off, smiling. "What about you, Denk? Want to give your boy's little girl a preview, to listen to just as the view cuts back and forth from the news to her blank little face?"

The Thinker allowed himself a small smile and held it for exactly three seconds. Even among the super-villain circles, Killgrave was... a rather unique individual and quite the x-factor. Better to have him where he could manipulate him than against him.

"I rather think I shall," he agreed. "I calculate a 97 percent certainty that the mere sound of my voice will cause an overall drop of 48 percent in her coherence and effectiveness."

He accepted the device and sent off a voice message of his own. "Andrea," he began. "Such a disappointment. The natural progression of my technology, and you persist on pretending to be human, pretending to be a hero. I do not deal well with disappointment. Steps will be taken to correct this error."

	Mel was watching the news of the small Ryker's breakout in horror when she noticed the voice message. She listened. ...And then she couldn't let go of the phone. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight Headquarters. tooth_n_claw 2013-04-23 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Alex had been curled up next to Mel listening to the news. The breakout at Ryker's caught his attention and he picked up his head. Mel seemed to freeze and that got his attention. He shifted into human. "Mel? Are you okay?" He put a hand on her shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex listened to the message and a chill passed over him. He wrapped his arms around Mel and held her. "He's not going to get near you or hurt you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For now, Mel's just held. "...k." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight Headquarters. tooth_n_claw 2013-04-23 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	Alex just held her for as long as she wanted. "We have to tell the others," he said in a low voice. "They have to know so we can be on alert if he tries to come near you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason gets there right away, and starts up the chocolate fountain. Alex had sounded... very serious. Compared to Mason, almost everyone sounded serious, but it had still been noticeable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight Headquarters. purplegeist 2013-04-23 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Normally, Mel would be quick to say 'Oh, I'll fix the chocolate.' But she wasn't even in a shape to worry that Mason would forget the half-cup of cream. She just sort of sat there huddled against Alex. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex looked down at Mel when the rest of the team had gathered in the room. "Do you want to tell them, or do you want me to tell them?" he asked softly. He still hadn't let go of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel takes a deep breath. "Prison Break. Ryker's." She holds up the phone, which she's slowly been able to leech her hand from. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh..." That's all that needed to be said, at least for Jordan. "We're going on high alert as of now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight Headquarters. sea_shelly 2013-04-24 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	It took Nim a moment to remember why that would be such a concern. Mel was such a great person that it was hard to remember she had a pretty scuzzy grandfather. She nodded slightly. "Whatever he tries, we'll stop him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Autonomic programs worked their way through Andrea's system as she processed the the voice on the end of the phone, the words being said. In mere seconds, she found herself shaking, forced to use the near-by wall for support. "No... no... no...." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Andrea?" he asked, now right beside her. He sent out a telepathic alert to the rest of the Future Foundation, telling them to get their butts to the main living room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Baxter Building awesome_andrea 2013-04-24 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Andrea went quiet for a moment, closing her eyes. Her head fell forward. Approximately thirty seconds passed, and then with a slight sound a little like a laptop starting up, her head snapped up and her eyes opened again. "`Reboot successful.`. My apologies. Recurrent thought patterns overwhelmed my cognitive systems for a moment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Franklin's expression hardened. He wasn't going to question it; Andrea wouldn't have said it if she wasn't 100% sure. "Then we need change that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head. "I was unable to trace the call." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Baxter Building sonofgenius 2013-05-01 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I doubt we need to find him," Franklin said. "He let Andrea know he was out. He's coming our way, and we need to be prepared for it. First thing's first- we need to let the civilians in the building know about the possible threat. After that is done, we need to regroup and come up with a plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
