"Wind...flying. Interfering with radio? Kind of a funny set of powers..."

Except...can't electric waves interfere with radio? And what's lightning besides a giant electric arc? I wonder...

Cassandra closes her eyes and tries to think. Weather related mutants. Wind, lightning...storms...had she read anything about that? She'd kept an eye on mutant affairs for awhile now. And weather was such a big, overt thing. Hard to hide. There had to be something...

Frost

Frost looks up. "I noticed no other change in the weather... and the radio interference was localized, right grid? I think there were at moving least as a pair.
I'm Frost, by the way."

Frost says, not extending a hand as he remembers some drain powers she was reported to have.

<Brazil, Will's Truck>
Uomo and Cass can both think of a few flying mutants, but none off the top of their heads that are as fast as Felix describes.

"I agree with Frost." Will speaks up "Might not have just been the lady doing it all, powers tend to fill niche's, and flying/technology control don't seem to mesh very easily. She said she had allies, Probably one of them is a technopath. And a powerful one, to keep your Grid occupied for so long.."

He turns back to speak to Laura "A pleasure to meet you at last, Miss Vioricta, I have been looking for you for a while." The young man returns his attention to Uomo "It seems that my job is nearly finished. I've found a private plane while all the excitement was going on, one willing to fly.. under the radar.. to get you out of the country. You should be back in the USA in a couple days. Please do give Sir Phoenix my regards, and should you ever need help finding something.." He hands Uomo a business card.

<On the Long Plane Ride Home>

A while later, the group is relaxing aboard a plane, heading by a circuitous route that will, eventually, get them home.

OOC:
If anybody has anything to say to Will/goodbyes, feel free to insert them. I highly doubt anything super-important will come up that alters the course of you getting on the plane. ;)
If you wish to further discuss what happened in Brazil among yourselves, roleplay, or figure out what you'll do back in the US, feel free.
(Are you going to take Laura to Phoenix like he asked, or one of the other 'factions'? Are you going to tell her what you're doing or keep her in the dark, etc?)

Aside - VV, who does Uomo think it is? Or was that just a vague reference to make him sound more knowing? ;)

ALSO, everybody please see the OOC thread. You've pretty much wrapped up the current mission (Quicker and a bit more openly that expected) with the exception of the arrival back and decision of who to turn Laura over to (If anybody), so It's time to reap the rewards. :D

"Das vidanien comrade." Uomo made a short salutation, accepting the business card. Thw wind in the improvised landing port made his trench coat, now carefully buttoned, flapped violently, as the fake russian advanced to the aircraft. "Quick kids, lift those feet, move, move." he said to the others, as he got inside the plane first. There was, of course, a reason for that: If Will had betrayed them, whether finding out they were not actual members of the organization, or actually had discovered they mostly answered to Gryphon, then he would have organized some trap, some way to recapture Laura, and dispose of them. The plane might be a good trap, and he didn't trust anyone else to take a surprise bullet and come unharmed but himself.
Luckily, William was as short witted as he was short in stature. Visibly more relaxed, Uomo strapped himself to the seat, awaiting take-off.
As the engines started making their characteristic loud noise, Uomo seized to chance to speak to Grid, his russian accent completely gone. "Check for microphones lad, quick."
<Assuming there are none.>
Uomo drops his fake accent, "An overall good mission lads and lasses." he begins. "I'm satisfied with most of you, but I guess I was not wrong when I thought you were the X-factor of this mission Felix. I know this was our first mission on the filed, and that might got you nervous and what not; I remember my first field assignment was not pretty, but the only reason I'm here, is because I followed orders. That, young man, is what you need to learn. You must, in the most imperatives of senses, follow orders. My orders in this case. Hadn't you take another route, or tried to evade this flying woman, we would be farther away now, safer, our presence not revealed to whatever organization this persons belonged. You were a liability, and I intend to dispose of such nuisances." Uomo takes his hand to underneath his trenchcoat. Perhaps it was his itallian accent, perhaps the cold way he was addressing Felix, or the odd construction of his last sentence, but everyone got the feeling he was going to pull out a gun and blow Felix's head out, and light a cigarette later. The hand comes out slowly, gripping something...
A deadly notepad and pen! Wait, a notepad? "I have written many possible field situations here, specified the conditions and events that you'll be aware off. These were real missions. You'll read them, go over them, and then describe your course of action. There's at least 15 of them here, get to work, you have 6 hours." Uomo tossed the notepad and the pen to Felix.

Uomo crossed legs and shoot a smile "But enough of what we've done, on to what we need to do: We've rescued young Laura Vioricta from the anti-mutant brazilian government, and are now flying back. We are suposed to deliver her to our new-found employers. But!" he says. "We'll play them a little trick. We know there's a winged enemy of our employers, they are actively opposing 'us'. So we'll make them believe the winged woman abducted her while we were escorting her to them. Vioricta will remain in Gryphon's headquarters until we have cleared what the enemy wants with her. How does it sound?"

OOC: I was thinking that perhaps either Drake or Gryphon's agents, unknowing about this undercover mission would have been acting on themselves; or even The Agency might have special concerns with Laura. That's why he said he doubted she (flying chick) was acting alone

[FONT=&quot]Felix was rather tens when he was addressed as an X-factor, and as the speech went on Felix’s hair stood on end while his eyes shot open. ‘nein nein!’ he thought as Uomo made the motion, and then leap out of his cloths, literally, while morphing well in exes of his record time.
He could see Uomo restive his unbelievably threatening… notepad…?

Time sped back up and Felix landed, shakily, on the back of his chair and overlooking his cloths that were, remarkably, undisturbed, albeit with a slumping poster.

His poster was blatantly tense his back was arched high, his tail was raised, his fur stood strait up and his ears shot strait back but he was starting to calm down and relax.

Then Uomo tossed the notepad and it landed in the lap of his cloths, that crumpled and then collapsed in on themselves and the notepad.

“ri-right, I’ll do that.” Is what Felix meant to say, however all he managed was a muted meow, a puzzled mere and then a low, annoyed grumble as he buried his face in his right paw and realized his situation.

His fur flattened out and his ears perked back up while turning forwards as he looked down on his clothing…
‘well, time for the home work…’ he thought before hoping down onto the armrest and then nosing his head under the cloth and retrieving notepad.
Felix hoped down onto the floor and start pawing through the notepad

Laura still being stuck in her trance of thought while everyone was discussing about the flying woman was snapped out of it with Frost's extended hand. "Oh, pleased to meet you, I'm Laura." she extends her hand to shake Frost's. The hand unexpectedly warm to the touch, much to everyone's surprise with nothing wrong. She just gives a smile to the confused faces. Turning to listen to the new man looking normal outside but being scared inside. looking for me for a while, great that just makes me feel rather well.

As the group sneaks into the plane, Laura tries to stay in the middle and out of sight from anyone, seeing how her face appeared all over television. She buckles up for take off and waits till they are in the air.

OOC: I'm presuming the group is rather keeping Laura in the silence, so if that's the case Laura would just get up from her seat before Uomo's speech and look for a hopeful mini bar on the plane seeing that it is private ;). If not, she would just listen in shock over Uomo's plan, seeing how she is more like a product instead of a human being ... mutant freak thing :lol:.

OOC: I actually posted not extending Frost's hand. But for the sake of continuity, consider it changed. For the receiving hand of the shake, his hand feels hard and cold, like meat from deep freeze.

"It sounds really insensitive," Cassandra answers Uomo a bit huffily. "Before we decide what to do now, lets talk to her. She's got no idea what's going on except that people she doesn't know have been chasing her...and we're included in that category. We have to give her the choice of what to do, and where to go, or we we're just as bad as the people we took her from."

She looks back to where Frost is introducing himself and nods, pleased that someone in the group has at least basic manners. She gets up and goes back to where Laura's sitting as well.

"Hi," Cass says warmly, offering her own perfectly normal hand to shake as well. "I'm really sorry about how rushed this all was. I'd like to say we normally do this kind of thing differently, but the fact is that there's no 'normal' about it. We've never done this kind of thing before, and I guess it shows." She smiled apologetically.

"My name's Cassandra. We're all like you here; mutants. This was intended to be a rescue operation, not a pitched battle to escape. Now that we're clear though, we have a few options to offer you as far as what comes next. Unfortunately, none of those options are 'return to your normal life.' On the other hand, it's not all bad either. And...I figure you have a ton of questions for us too...so maybe we should start with that. Want to come up and join the rest of us?"

"I guess it would be 'nice', yes" agrees Uomo, rising an annoyed eyebrow. He was used to missions like this, giving the poor shaken person choices and things to think on wouldn't be much help. But then, it was good to make the others feel they had something to do.
