EPIC M&M: Issue 2 (IC)

[Mordane76]

X12 nods. "If you officers have any further questions for me, I'll be in the central part of the mall, or at EPIC should you need to question me at a later date, but I believe the paramedics could probably use my services," he says to the assembled officers, and then turns to head towards the next assembly of paramedics and/or gravely injured people.

Food Court
Barely sixty feet away, everyone outside the restaurant sees paramedics put a sheet over the kid Vince punched in the hall and dragged into the mall hallway. Just outside the Food Court, you can see the sheet-draped body of the thug he sent flying. In both instances, the paramedics immediately move on to tend other wounded.

"No, just stay out of the way," the medic working on Cosmo says. She takes a long syringe, removes the plunger part from the end, and in one smooth motion stabs the needle into Cosmo's chest. Blood, far more than seems normal from a pin prick, begins filling, then overflowing, the syringes chamber.

Empath is talking to a detective in a fine suit near the entrance to the Food Court. Things seem relatively calm in their exchange.

Theatre
I X12 tending Split or taking a run to the other end of the mall? It's about a two minute sprint to get there, assuming you leave out an exit in a theatre, rather than through the main doors where the throng is.

Jackal doesn't object to Michelle leading him into the restaurant. He sits quietly against the wall looking devastated, tears still falling from his eyes. "I lost my bags," he says very quietly. "I have to get them," he says, starting to stand up.

Raisa stands near the doorway of the Restaurant, chewing on her fingernails while she watches the medics and police outside. She overhears Jackal and moves over to him, gently putting a hand on his shoulder and keeping him in his chair. "Just take it easy, meu amigo, I'll go find them for you." She gives him a reassuriung smile before heading back out into the mall to find her bag as well as Jackal's, and anyone elses that might have been forgotten during the fighting.

"I believe the paramedics have Split under control, Trailblazer, unless you feel otherwise. If not, do you have a way to transport me to another group of injured people," X12 asks. "As I understand it, you're quite fast, like Vince, and grievous injuries require quick movement."

Theatre
"Walk or run? Cause I aint carryin' ya partner," he says as he looks at something in his hand and turns to the proper theatre where the students are. "And here I heard ya healed fast," he says jokingly as he heads in.

Restaurant
Michelle enters the kitchen, leaving Jackal to Raisa. Vince zips in behind her, along with Tara and Dara. There is a banging on a huge cooler, from the inside. The handle is bent, forcibly locking the cooler. You hear someone shouting, but its muffled.

"Hey, I think he said, "Get me out of here!" says Dara. "Sounds mandarin to me. I sure can't fix that door though. Maybe one of you can get it open," she says.

"Anyone know what this waiter-guy looks like?" Tara asks.

"Hey, I think he said, "Get me out of here!" says Dara. "Sounds mandarin to me. I sure can't fix that door though. Maybe one of you can get it open," she says.

"Ok, I am going to try and straighten out the handle. Can you tell him to stand back just in case."

"Anyone know what this waiter-guy looks like?" Tara asks.

"Don't know but maybe who ever is behind this door does."

Michelle will walk closer to the door, place one hand above and hand below the handle and attempt to force the handle back into it's proper place, if that doesn't work she will either rip out the handle and latch or the whole door if needed.

The realization that the rest of his schoolmates and mall-going bystanders could be under attack in other parts of the mall finally hits Sanjay. He nods wordlessly to Trailblazer and takes off towards the food court flying over the crowds wherever he can to get there as quickly as possible

Theatre
Sanjay exits the theatre through an exit, running along outside the the mall to a nearby mall entrance. Once inside, he flies towards the food court.

Anyone wanting to follow, can do so

Restaurant/Food Court
Michelle manages to straighten the handle. Pulling on it, the door doesn't budge. Looking closer, you notice the door appears welded on somehow. How you missed that before is beyond you.

I'll tell you how! Crappy spot checks!

She has to rip the door from its frame, and manages to do so, but the force required is so great that the freezer itself slides out from the wall two feet and the door flies across the room, smashing into the wall and destroying a huge rack filled with pots and pans.

A cook lies on the floor of the freezer, bound and gagged with duct tape, along with two waiters and what appears to be the maitre de. From the frost on their hair and the redness of their faces, they've been here at least an hour.

Outside, Raisa finds some unattended bags nearby after a minute or so of searching. One contains some rather advanced science texts, some police/crime fiction and a book on robotics. The other contains some beef jerky, a set of X-Men 3000 graphic novels and a huge pink stuffed rabbit. Receipts in the bag confirm they are Cosmo's and Jackals respectively.

Johan sees Raisa find the bag as Jackal comes out of the Restaurant and approaches his brother, looming over the medic. He grabs her shoulder and lifts her straight to her feet, shoving her to the side. "Get away from him," he says warningly.

Johan's doubles and Loki, looking the other way (away from the food court), see a trio of oriental kids, dressed in a similar way as the thugs, some way down the mall on the stairs leading up to the second level. They are moving quickly and there is an oriental man in a tuxedo with them. Johan deduces that the man is the maitre de.

Kevin bleeds quietly, tended to by paramedics.

"His name is Kevin. Do you think he will recover?"

OoC: What's a maitre de? My dictionary doesn't know the word.
