Master Wen's Academy, China
Several Hours Later
The EPIC Jet is berthed at the base of the hill leading up to the academy and after a light and quiet meal, the rest of the fading day has been left for you to do with as you please. You've already been forewarned that Thunder will be arriving tomorrow, and instead of returning to New York and the school, the jet will be making a stop at the York Estate in England. The senior EPIC members have made themselves available to talk if any of you wish to.
Kodiak sits quietly on the hill above the gardens, while Trailblazer continues to eat in the main hall with Master Wen. Li is in the women's bath house, Jackal is secluded in the dojo he spent most of his stay here in, and Carl has shut himself in his room, packing his gear away. You haven't seen Xi in some time. Empath and Dara are having a heated conversation, Dara's voice raised in anger while Empath appears completely composed.

You are receiving a first hand accounting of the discussion between Dara and Empath. Dara still hasn't calmed down since earlier and is being both angry and beligerant. She is choosing some colorful names for Empath and is sharing those privately.
I bet I could make her go jump in the bay, grumbles Dara to you. That'd shut her up good. Can you believe that stupid lump of brick thinks he's my boyfriend? I mean ew! What a jerk! And stupid as a rock too! Oh god, here we go again. Blah blah blah, controlling people is bad, blah blah blah. She never shuts up!

You still can't feel your powers at all, leaving you tired and lethargic. As you leave the main house, you can hear a splintering sound and the rattling of chains coming from the second dojo where Jackal was kept before. The inside is well lit, and you can see someone moving about inside.

"Well, I was thinking later tonight," Ina says, with a glare at your dad. "I need to edit this story and sell it before someone else gets ahol..."
Several shouts of surprise and alarm come suddenly from the emergency room.
OOC: Yay me, I get to decide for Elementor if Vince acts on his impulse or not.

"Ok, well, it won't be a long wait anyway," Tara says. "But I'm getting away from that stench," she says, flying up towards the van. "I'll tell the guys to just wait."
And she's more than right. Just as she's arriving up above, several hoverships come into view. Soon enough, a pair of hoverships and a transport ship come down. The transport immediately moves over the smoking wreckage and douses it in some sort of foam, then proceeds to deploy an energy beam, lifting the wreckage. You are barely able to dash out of the way of the fire retardant foams splash radius.
The police craft lands and an officer steps out, quickly approaching you. "This area is now under Internal Security control. You will have to leave the area immediately." Several other officers step out of the vehicle, eight in total. The other hovership is emblazoned with the SAP logo and doesn't land.

"Whatever. You don't know nothing," grumbles Randall.
Tara buzzes up to the window. "Michelle says we're waiting for... oh, there's the police now."
As you glance out the window you see a transport craft start spraying foam over the wreckage, then unceremoniously capture it in an energy beam and start lifting it towards its holding bay in a fashion that seems almost guaranteed to destroy any evidence whatsoever.
