Rebound says from the drivers seat.  "It's like... burning dog hair or something." MichelleTara shrugs and is silent for a long while, until you start getting quite close to the smoke.  "That just really hurt my feelings, you know?" she says.  "Hey, there it is," she adds as the cause of the smoke comes into view. At the base of a ravine, the smoking wreck of a limosine lays, the bubbled remnants of an SAP logo still visible on the hood.  The windows have been blown out, and the car is a tangle of steel.  The rear door is off its hinges and a charred arm dangles out from within. It is obvious that the wreck happened within the last few hours.  But what strikes you odd is that most flying cars you've seen do not use internal combustion as their power source, but magnetic propulsion.  Yet the car has been scorched. "Oh my god," Tara says.  "Is that an arm?" Flying Without A FerarriNeutronIt's easy enough to park the car, though no matter what you do, debris will cause some damage.  You park it in the air, away from people and in an area you feel will be least affected before taking Vida and flying away from the vehicle. You make your way through the air, avoiding the worst of the traffic.  Vida does her best to hold onto you and let you focus on flying, though her strength is rapidly flagging.  About two minutes after leaving the car behind, you see a small group of flying cars bearing the SAP logo fly by below you, heading towards where you left the Ferarri.  Perhaps thirty seconds later, you hear the explosion of the car in the distance and glance back to see a ball of flame shoot up from behind a building. SAP Corporate Headquarters looms ahead, stretching far above you.  You know from experience that Ms. Vaile's personal laboratory is on the second highest floor, below her penthouse offices and personal living quarters. Outside Mai Pai, ChinaX12By the time you arrive, Kodiak has carefully enclosed Kevin's body in a sealed bag.  You see that Rising Sun has wasted no time getting to work rounding up the injured and beaten gang members, including the badly injured mutants among them.  He uses what you at first believe would be an ineffective method of containing everyone; plastic zip-cuffs.  When placed on a mutant, however, the cuffs emit a white glow. Sho, Havok and the Shadow are all so cuffed and their powers appear quite neutralized.  Missing are the brother and sister you first defeated.  Oddly enough, Kajo remains unbound, still holding onto Dara and standing close behind Master Wen who is leaning on Li for support. Kodiak turns to you when you come up. "I will need help to carry him down the hill," the hulking man says down to X12 in his russian accent.  It seems a strange thing for someone with his strength to say, but you do not doubt his words.  His shoulders are somewhat slumped, much like your own.  "This shall be a dark day in memory for all of us.  Did you stop the woman who did this?" he asks. Raisa"No, they will not," Empath says softly.  "The questions; the maybe's; the what ifs.  They will be with you forever.  But I can tell you, Raisa, that you did not kill Kevin.  You are not to blame for his death.  In time, you will understand that," she says, stroking your hair as she speaks.  "And I won't use my powers to remove your pain," she adds.  "Only to lessen it, so you can think more clearly." Michael boards the plane, and Empath excuses herself to go to speak with him.</blockquote>
