"I see Thunder's gotten into your head already," Simmons says with a chuckle. "Just remember, son. EPIC isn't a NAA Agency. They may be based here, but they don't owe any allegiance to the good old NAA. The government has a team too, which is far more American centric. Just keep it in mind; you're young yet. Lots of choices ahead of you," he says as you get out of the tunnel.

With nothing more on the table, you round everyone up to head back to EPIC. Cosmo is in mid-flight check when you, sans Vince, arrive and soon you are flying off to home.
"Probably want to contact base and fill them in before we arrive," Cosmo suggests as he flies the plane, jerking a thumb at the main communications console.

Doctor Worthy is, obviously, thrilled that you are going to let her study you a bit. It's not quite as 'fun' as you thought it might be; she vanishes into her own little mental world as she scans, pokes, prods, scrapes and pulls at you in various ways. Small talk isn't much with her it seems, at least when she's focussed like this.
"Have you... grown at all lately?" she says suddenly as she looks through a powerful microscope at some of your blood.
New York - Methesda
Initiatives: Guards/Dogs 20 (6 guards, 1 dog) [4 guards have to escape water], Battlesuit 18-1[1L], Neutron 18-2[1L], MM 18-3[2L], Monica 15, Chief 14, SJ 9 [3L], Rebound 6[3L]
The guard doesn't even see Straightjacket coming. Shrinking just enough to make it through the door way, SJ comes up behind him and slams one fist into the back of his neck and he folds like a cheap shirt.
Attack Roll: 27 (hit... and how!)
Save: 12 (failed, unconscious)
"All you had to do!?" she shouts at you in response. "You've caused hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage! In case you didn't notice, I had paying clients to..."
Diplomacy (13)
"Stand back ma'am!" the Battlesuit growls. "We'll," he starts, looking back as the guard groans and collapses. "Crap, another!" he shouts, leveling his blaster at Straightjacket. "Get yourself out of here, ma'am!"
Michelle sees as good an opportunity as any will be, hurling a ball of magnetic energy between the Battlesuit and the guards near him. The explosion shakes the lights, knocks Ms. Henry down, sprays water everywhere and sends two guards flying into the wall over Monica's head, leaving her holding one blaster with a stunned look on her face. One lands, leg at an unnatural angle, while the other slides down the wall, a pool of blood almost isntantly forming about his body.
Attack Roll: 12 (good enough to hit where you want it to)
Reflex saves: Guards 14, 18, Batlesuit 13 -- all failures
Damage saves: Guards 18 (fail -- disabled), 7 (VP to reroll is lower, becomes 10 -- fail, dying); Battlesuit 12 (fail)[1L]
Monica tosses the gun into the water. "Hey, watch it would you!?" she says angrily. A quick shift later, she's in tiger form again, leaping the pool and slamming into one of the guards by Rebound with a roar! He slams into the wall, unconscious.
Attack Roll: 18 (hit!)
Saves: Guard 13 (unconscious), Monica 21 (success)
Much to the dislike of Straightjacket, you hear the humming of the Chief's battlesuit closing in. He comes closer to the ground, but ends up about fifty feet away outside, 20 feet off the ground, looking down through the blasted open doorway at you.
Straightjacket is up.
China will be updated after the others post.
