If he's at all like Johan, his duplicates would gain his powers, so since this dude can become invisible, they probably all can. Y'all look like you handled the problem fine enough; no real damage here, 'cept to toasty there. Might be you nailed the real one there; I didn't get to talk to Angel much to find out what went down in the Food Court. Just the two here, huh?"The police officers are making notes about the conversation."Don't worry much about the reporters. They aint gettin' pictures today," he says as John comes out of the bathroom. "Someone just flushed their recording chips."One of the cops laughs. "You know they're gonna slam you in the papers over that, cowboy.""Color me unconcerned, partner," Trailblazer quips back.The two paramedics lift Split onto a stretcher. "We have to get him to hospital.""We'll send M-Tac down to watch him, TB," one of the cops says to Trailblazer.M-Tac is a special mutant tactical unit funded by the federal government designed to contain problem mutants. It's a well known organization who's methods are... somewhat less than gentle."Good enough," he replies. "Ok gang, I'll load up our compadre's and head down to the Food Court. You three should get down there and tell Angel what happened. Kevin and Cosmo looked really badly hurt, X. You might wanna hustle and see if you can help 'em. If you got anything else to add about this fight, tell it to officer Johnson here before you go."Food CourtA number of paramedics rush over to Loki, going past the SWAT members who are already relaxing seeing Empath walking towards them. The kid is not lucid, mumbling incoherently, but still conscious thanks to Loki."Holy <censored>! His hand is gone," says one stunned medic."Lets get him stable before we move him," his partner states as they start to work on the boy. "Just leave it to us now, son," he says to Loki.Paramedics rush about, tending the worst of the wounded, while police escort the unhurt out quickly. Sheets are laid over the boy who Vince knocked out of the food court, and two emergency workers are performing CPR on the one who tried to run.Johan gets to Kevin before any EMS people do. He can actually see ribs, scorched flesh. A few of the ribs look actually shattered. He's barely breathing. It makes for an interesting look at the human anatomy, but the smell of scorched flesh is overpowering, enough so to make you nautious. A number of medics rush over soon, and start to work on Kevin, running an IV immediatetly."What's his name?" one asks you in a calm voice as he checks his pulse.Another medic is tending to Cosmo. She quickly checks his pulse and shouts out, "I need an IV run here!" She rips open his shirt and you hear her mumble something about internal bleeding. Cosmo's chest is covered in one huge blue and purple bruise. "I need to know how he was hurt? Someone?"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.</blockquote>
