There was no denying it now, Raisa had got in over her head - which at her height is saying something.
Her face is even more pale than the bouncer's after seeing inside the pub and hearing Carl's instructions. She covers her mouth with her hand as the bile rises in her throat and she shakes her head trying not to burst into tears. "Meu Deus! You killed them!"
Raisa stares at Carl, finally realizing just how little she knew her fellow student or what she had got herself into. Horrified she backs away from him, still shaking her head in disbelief. "You never said... This isn't how it was to happen! They weren't.... Meu Deus I helped you! Cabrão, I wanted to help you! To help your brother! But you never said... This isn't how it was suppose to be!"
She backs away further, reaching inside her pocket and pressing the button on the pager."No more! You're on your own, amigo, I'm out!" The disgust, and fear, is evident on her face as she turns and starts to walk away.

Raisa
"Raisa, stop," Carl says, concerned. "Jeezes Raisa, stop!"
You hear a click, then a familiar phwump phwump followed by a crack crack! You hear two bullets pass just past your arm and see the energy trails they leave, then see twin impacts on a plexiglass bus shelter just ahead and to your right. The plexiglass cracks and blood sprays from the impact points, pouring down the side of the shelter and pooling on the ground.
"I think it's a goner," Carl says with a bit of tentative humor in his voice.
You can't help but notice that this side of the street is nearly completely empty.

Fine, whatever... Michelle grumbles as she starts walking, she does however head towards the van, giving the other door a quick glance as she enters and sits down and starts to sulk.
And here I thought the army would be a pain in the ass. She says just loud enough for a certain person to hear if they were listening.

In the Van/Bus
"Hey, I sound nothing like my old drill sergeant," Mendez laughs as he gets into the driver seat. He fires up the van and soon you driving onto the freeway towards the institute. The drive goes by quickly, with Mendez telling what you come to believe are tall tales of his involvement with EPIC. It gets to the point where it's a game of fact or fiction on his stories, and he challenges you to find the flaws in his stories. It's more than a little of a lesson, but one that is both enjoyable and lets the drive pass quickly.
In only twenty minutes you pull up to the EPIC gates. Mendez clicks a button on his pager and the gates swing open. Instead of taking you to your dorms, he pulls up in front of the institute itself.
"Pile out gang, and lets hit the War Room. You're in for a treat," he says with a grin. He leads you into the HQ and down a few halls you've never been permitted in. You see Grandmother, Anna and Jackson standing outside a set of huge double doors with the EPIC logo emblazoned across it.
"Jesus Mendez, you are getting fat," Grandmother says cheerfully as Mendez leads you towards the HQ. (that is Hey-suse, not a religious reference) "I have not seen you in ages," she says, giving the detective a motherly hug.
"I think your eyes are tricking you," he responds with good humor.
"Perhaps, but not so much that I can't see Carl and Raisa are missing," she says with concern.
"We'll track them in the war room. Is everything there that we'll need?"
"Of course dear. Though Thunder will be sad that he didn't get to give them out. I have to get back to the dorms and check on the rest of the students. This is Anna and Jackson. They'll be joining you," she says. "Glad to see you all are safe and sound," Grandmother says before Pooky, who had been lying unnoticed on the grass nearby runs up, barks and both vanish in a puff of smoke.
Mendez shakes his head and turns to you. "That dog freaks me out," he says with a chuckle as he pushes the doors open.
The War Room
You are presented with an amazing sight. A two tier room with banks of computers, a huge table with what appears to be a holistic mapping system and a myriad of devices familiar and foreign greet you. It is quite possibly one of the most highly advanced system of computers you have seen, and the room is spotless. The left wall draws your attetion.
Along the wall are small rooms, each with a familiar name above it. There are rooms for each of the EPIC members, and within you say their uniforms and gear hanging, at least the gear not in use. Farther down the wall are many other unlit rooms.
"Nothing quite like stealing Thunder's thunder once in a while," Mendez says as he flips a switch on the wall, lighting the rooms up. Your names appear over the rooms, and within you see black uniforms with EPIC blazoned on the chest, custom made for each of you (even those not present). Each room has an opaque glass sliding door with a latch, for privacy when changing.
Think X-men type goodies.
The general response is an excited "COOL!" especially after Dara projects it loudly enough to make you all wince as she dashes over to her room. "COOL!" she repeats vocally.
"Take a look, kids. I was hoping for one, but they said I had to shed some pounds first. I'll try to locate your two missing friends. I hope I remember how to work this thing," he mutters, approaching the large table.
Some time later...
Mendez finally remembers what he's doing and pushes a button at the table computer terminal. A 3D map of NYC appears. "Locate EPIC pagers within the city," he says. The image turns and twists, settling on downtown. Two dots near each other show Raisa and Carl, and two others show Kevin... and Kevin. (This takes a few minutes)
"Hey, Kevin. Care to explain this?" he says, calling over to Kevin and drawing most of your attention back to him.
Kevin turns and answers by suddenly vanishing, his bag dropping to the ground. Mendez, along with the rest of you save Johan, is surprised.
"What the... where did he go!" Mendez exclaims with a none-to-pleased look.

Her jaw rigid, her heart pounding against her chest, Raisa fights to keep from shaking and grips her hands into fists so tight her knuckles turn white. The pager that had been in her hand crumbles against the force of her grip. She could have sworn Carl had shot her when she first heard the shots fired, but looking at the fluid running down the cracked glass of the bus shelter she feels herself getting furious.
"Fakes..." She hisses, desperately trying to keep from pummelling him where he stands. She looks over her shoulder at him, narrowing her eyes in an angry glare. "Is this some kind of joke? Thought you'd have a little fun with the estrangeiro? (Translation: Foreigner) A little game of 'let's see what this freak will do'?"
She turns to face him finally, taking a few steps back toward him. "Well let me tell you, mèl , I'm not amused." Seeing the look on his face she sighs and relaxes a little, convincing herself that he's telling the truth now and that he really didn't kill anyone - though subconsciously she still had her suspicions. "Sorry for spazzing out, but you freaked me out a little. So, sorry. Anyway, This GSpot - and even one snide comment on the name of the place from you and I will hurt you- where is it an how long to get there?"

Raisa
"Car-uhl," Carl says, pointing to himself. "My name is Car-uhl. Mel is the dude I smoked with a blood capsule," Carl says straight faced and slowly. You can't quite tell if he's joking.
"Your not strange anyway." Ok, he isn't joking. "Well, not for someone who is nearly as tall as I am and can lift a bus. Take a look," carl says, pointing down the street and across it as he holsters his gun. You look, and down the way you were going, you see a huge neon sign that announces "The G Spot" and gives no illusion to it being anything other than a high class strip club. It's situated beneath a huge glass skyscraper. Over the skyscraper main entry, you can just make out the words "Crystal Palace Apartments."
"Your reaction really sold that stunt. Wish I could have seen those guys faces," he says as he starts heading at a casual stroll down the street towards the club. "So I hear you dance," Carl says and you notice his force field is up. He's fighting to keep a smirk off his face.

His joking around eases her nerves even more and she walks beside him. " Yea, I da-" Raisa stops herself as it finally registers what he was getting at. She returns the smirk, and even though she sees the forcefield up she still slugs him in the arm. "Cuzão! Let's just get this over with and then maybe we'll see about a private show later."
OOC: Because of the forcefield, she won't pull her punch
