Epic M&M: Issue 4 (IC)

Hearing the pounding, Sanjay grimaces. "Uh, just a moment, I'm not decent..." he yells. When the pounding gives way to the silence, he turns towards the doors, readying himself. "Uh, guys, remember that trouble I mentioned...?"

"Better get away from the door..." Michelle mutters as she concentrates on the computer.

"I just need a few more minutes." Once every thing is finished printing she will attempt to hack into the report data, as a precaution she will bring her force field up.
 


New York - Methesda
Michelle, Sanjay
The silence drags on for a few moments. The hair on Sanjay's arms starts to stand on end. He realizes it just in time, rolling to the side as the door catupults inward, soaring through the air to slam into and through the wall behind Michelle. A bolt of electricity flashes along with the door, filing the air with an ozone smell. A man clad in an impressive looking battlesuit strides in, lightning crackling from a cannon on his right arm.

"You will cease what you are doing and lay face down on the floor!" he commands with authority. "This is your only warning!"

Behind him, you see about six armed security guards making their way in behind him, rifles, shotguns and hand blasters ready.

Michelle, some rather dreaded words flash up on the screen as you poke your head back up after ducking the flying door.

PASSWORD INCORRECT

"This is my job," she says, drawing her firearm. It's a bit different then you anticipated. Rather than a standard blaster, it has a lot of circuitry that glows blue on the outside and is emitting an electrical hum. "Shrink down to normal and come with me to the security area immediately or suffer the consequences," she warns with some finality.

The flying battlesuit closes ranks, though it is still just over a hundred feet from you. The guards with dogs are within thirty feet, and both are drawing similar blasters.

"Three more behind us, boy," your dad says. "I think we can take 'em. I doubt those blasters will hurt you much. That flying dude looks a bit tougher though."

Your comm activates and Sanjay's voice comes over it. "Jacket, Monica, we have problems, you'd better just leave."

There is an explosion from the offices and you see the other power suit discharge a massive bolt of electricity and send the main doors exploding inward.

"Ok, that flying dude looks a lot tougher," your dad says after witnessing the explosion.

Raisa
You definitely catch Michael off guard by stepping past the circle. As you crouch down and scoop the food back up, you are pleasantly surprised that it's not raw meat or anything like that. Fruits, bread and cooked chicken make for an easy clean up.

Michael doesn't do anything threatening, aside from sniffing your hair and head when you are picking up the food. The door slides open suddenly though, making both you and Michael swivel your heads to look as Xi quickly enters.

"Raisa!" a familiar raspy voice hisses. "Get away from him! Outside the circle!" he warns with as much concern as his voice can muster.
 

"I dont suppose you guys have any kind of security cameras out here or anything eh?" With a shrug Vince adds, "Hey, it never hurts to ask...."

"Eww, you shouldn't do that." Raisa says with a chuckle. "I haven't washed it properly since I got here. It's probably very... unpleasantly aromatic."

"Relax, Xi! Don't be so melodramatic." She rolls her eyes and finishes gathering the spilt food. She moves it back into place for Michael before standing, still moving slowly so as not to startle him. "We just had a little mishap with the food, nothing to give yourself an ulcer over." Taking a few steps back, Raisa winks at Michael. "I knew you were stronger than him."
 

"Can I get some training today," X12 asks. "Bring it on, Dara -- you've been playing around with Kevin all day, I'll bet; time to show you what someone with real combat training can do," X12 says, winking at Kevin as he strikes a defensive stance.
 

"You do realise that we aren't just living samples, don't you, doctor Worthy?" Johan says and starts rubbing his eye. "His name is Vincent, and I doubt he has the inclination or time to be researched."

As Anna speaks, Johan goes over to take a look. "How long do you think it will take to finish the needed modifications?"
 

Neutron sneers. "Shyeah, right. Look, all we wanted was to talk with your boss lady for a couple minutes. But no, just leave us sitting here like we have nothing better to do. We're here on official EPIC business, and if you're partial to that little tin can your wearing, I suggest you let us conduct it."
 

"Consequences Shmonsequences, as long as I'm rich!" seeing the look of bewilderment in the guard's eyes John continues on to his father "Some people, just don't respect the classics." Turning back to the guard he continues. "Look, I've already stated my postion, do what you think you have to. I am not going to be arrested by a bunch of renta-cops when I haven't done anything. "
