Rebound asks Vince. "Good lord," mutters Loki.  "I didn't read about the danger and pain involved in this job in the hero handbook.  Hey, aren't they like supposed to vanish or something?" October 26, 2120Dover, England -- The York Estate"Well then," Lord York says, taking the repeat of what Thunder earlier told him without much outward show of emotion.  "I would like to see my son's body.  And I think our immediate safety is in question.  We should transport immediately to a hospital, especially for Thunder, and contacting senior members of EPIC should be done immediately.  Jeremy," he says, turning to his other son. "Go into what is left of my study and look for a vault under my desk.  I want the cases there brought with us." Raisa moves over to Thunder, picking him up effortlessly.  "I'm really starting to hate this uniform," Raisa says angrily.</blockquote>
