Nathan was in his office, working, and he automatically glanced at the doorway as his pager went off, announcing that someone was coming to meet him. His aide didn't say who. He was startled when he saw her - Tracy.

Where have you been? he asked shakily. He hadn't heard of her death - no one had; Micah still hadn't been able to face telling anyone - but she'd been missing for over a week.

She shrugged.

Around, was her only vague answer.

Around? he repeated. No one could find you or contact you for days.

She shrugged.

Maybe I had stuff to do, then, she answered, her tone angry. And maybe it's got nothing to do with you. I just came in to give you these.

She passed a folder of papers over to him then turned on her heels and stalked out, leaving him wondering what the hell was going on with her.

Wayward Daughter wrote:Right now, she was walking into the New Company's base, yet again. She'd been spending a lot of time there recently. She hadn't been attending the college she'd enrolled at that fall, having been given bereavement leave, and she was even considering dropping out entirely. With all this time she was spending at the New Company, maybe she'd become an agent. It made her feel less useless, anyway. She refused to let herself think of it as looking into her sisters' deaths or possibly avenging them, remembering that'd been what had led Lee to hers.

Wayward Daughter wrote:The place had been very busy recently, all of the agents milling around. Most wouldn't answer her questions, but she'd still learned that there'd been an upsurge in crimes and violence using abilities over the past month, and that those caught weren't registered. No one really knew what was going on. She'd heard one theorising that maybe Pinehearst's formula wasn't as dealt with as they'd hoped and believed.

She'd just gotten a hold of a report detailing another of those crimes, a bank and jewelry store robbery, with an estimate of where the gang's HQ could be. She was now debating with herself whether or not it'd be a good idea to go looking into this. Just helping out... that's what she was telling herself. After all, she'd helped out on a mission before. The one Alex had seen her on. And if she'd be alone on this new one, it was only a small difference... she'd wound up having to fight alone for a short while on the other one, anyway, and she'd succeeded then....

Before she knew it, she'd made her decision. She'd gone outside, hailed a taxi and given the driver the address to the suspected HQ. She'd arrived there, gotten out and paid. Now she was debating with herself again, arguing that this idea was stupid and idiotic and pointless. Or trying to build up the courage to go on. She wasn't sure which.

Angrily, she gave herself one more mental push, and approached the entranceway. It wasn't guarded. She told herself that was their stupidity or arrogance, not the first sign of a trap. She walked on. The hallway was dark, she could barely see where she was going, but it was empty. She could hear voices coming from certain doors but she avoided those rooms.

Hearing footsteps approaching one of those doors, her heart instantly leapt into her throat. Hastily she dove around a corner trying to hide. Then she was struggling not to laugh. She'd just remembered what she'd earlier forgotten, and it was only the fear of being heard which was restraining her mirth. She began manipulating the light to hide herself, and once she was confident that'd hold, she carried onwards. She didn't really know what she was doing or looking for here, but she just thought she'd be doing something.

She continued onwards. Her anxiety and nerves grew with every footstep, but she shoved those down and told herself that she was just reacting. She was safe: she was invisible. None of these would even know she'd been here. So she could look around a little longer, before deciding what she could do.... she learned her mistake seconds later, as she entered another room and found the woman inside staring directly at her.

Before she could react, that woman was upon her. She took a hasty step backwards, half-panicked. The woman was still there, though. A fist still got buried into her stomach. She gasped, winded, struggling. Now, she could try to fight, but she was feeling weakened already. Like she could hardly move, hardly breathe. Bitterly she realised the true impact of her two broken link bonds. She needed those....

Even in her weakened state, she tried to fight back - but it really was try. She made no real impact. She was as helpless as a newborn kitten, as she soon realised, to her own bitterness. Within seconds, she was held tightly in the other's grasp, and seconds later she was feeling the little strength she had slipping and draining away. Unable to move, she was completely paralysed. The woman tugged her away into another room and she was utterly unable to struggle.

Look what I found, the woman declared, smiling. The man she was speaking to raised his head.

Another spy?

She nodded. Laurie again tried to struggle, but her body was entirely motionless.

What should be done with her? Does she get the same as the other one?

The man hesitated, trying to decide.

No, he answered slowly. At least, not for now. Just take her upstairs.

The woman nodded, and following his instructions she dragged Laurie upstairs. She threw her into a room and locked the door on her.

Alex had sensed Laurie's capture the second it'd happened. He'd felt her panic, her fear, her pain. The link she'd formed with him was screaming these to him. Screaming her danger. He had been in the middle of a business meeting at the time, but right in the middle of it he'd leapt to his feet and brushed the entire meeting off, giving half-hearted and rushed non-explanations to the potential customers. They didn't matter; the meeting didn't matter. He just had to get to her. He practically ran outside and frantically hailed a cab, too anxious and terrified to wait to get his own car out of the underground parking lot. He barked continuous directions to the startled driver, not knowing exactly where he was going but being led by the link.

(And so begins the Alex Is Awesome SL)

That drive felt like an agonising lifetime. He didn't know how much longer it'd take, how much further he had to travel - he just knew that he felt like he could already be too slow, too late. When he finally felt that they'd arrived, he was so relieved that for a second it seemed like she was already saved. Until he realised that there was far more he needed to do. Hastily he threw himself out of the taxi, chucking the driver far too much money for the fare, raced off before the man could call to him asking if he wanted the change. He didn't listen. He ran towards the building in front of him, knowing it was in that one Laurie was held captive, sensing her.

He didn't give himself any time for hesitation, immediately brushing through the front doors. There didn't seem to be any guards. His sense of Laurie told him she was upwards, so he headed upwards, searching throughout the building for any elevator or a set of stairs. Luckily, this group of villains seemed so large that they didn't know all of each other, and none questioned who he was. Or perhaps he just wasn't giving them the time to question. He continued onwards, upwards, searching.

(Did you see my SL title on the last page? Laughing

He stopped at the top of the stairs and carried onwards through a corridor which led to a series of lab-like rooms. He passed through these rapidly. He didn't slow to see what they contained, only noting that they were free of people to stop or fight him while rushing through. That changed when he reached the last one. Before he knew it, before he could even see it, a fist had come towards his head and he was being hurtled away. It'd hit him harder than natural. He wondered briefly if he'd broken anything when he'd struck the wall. Before he could really think, he was trying desperately to dodge another, and another.

Each of those punches narrowly missed, and left holes gashed into the wall. It'd have been terrifying, if he wasn't already too out of his mind with fear for Laurie to be further terrified. He was barely dodging them. He tried to fight back, but his assailant was escaping every attack and counter with unnatural ease and speed. It was impossible. Finally, he threw himself to the ground and rolled away, temporarily out of reach. The man then changed tactics and hurtled a blast of fire towards him.

For a second, sheer panic filled him. How was he meant to fight against someone who could throw fire? That strength and speed was enough, but at least that was understandable, on one level.... not like fire. He could at least fight physically, even if he was weaker than this madman. But not against fire. Another stream barely missed him, as he dodged yet again. That was all he could do.

A third stream of fire hurtled towards him, and again he barely escaped it. He threw himself away awkwardly, crashing into a table, sending everything on it falling to the floor. The panic he'd felt before vanished as his eyes focused on one of those. A boxful of needles filled with some clear liquid, ready...... suddenly he could remember something Laurie had told him previously about something the Company had been worrying about. The words were echoing in his ears, in her voice. An injection.... which would give abilities.... to plain, simple, ordinary people... like him.....

His hand grasped desperately out towards the box, grabbing hold of a handful. He dropped the majority in his haste. One remained though, and he yanked it towards him and stabbed it into his thigh. No time to think about it, no time for regret. He could feel it working immediately. For a second, his head was spinning, and he began wondering if he'd made a terrible mistake as he nearly blacked out. The next.... power. Powerful. That was the only way to describe how it now made him feel. He just moved his arms, and suddenly his former attacker was helpless, being held out like a puppet. Once he recalled the fire blasts still blocking his way, they were suddenly somehow bouncing off harmlessly from his newly crystalline skin.
