"I not asking anyone to sacrifice themselves but if a core group of us could get there fast they could slow them down, use hit and run tactics. We have four speedsters and probably four flyers that could maintain the same speed." Michelle states as she glances over towards where Johan is standing, she understood his concern, the thought of fighting Mason again made her legs weak but she sure as hell wasn't going to sit this one out and let Anarchy kill more people

With everyone commenting, talking and theorizing about the room, the noise level has abruptly increased. It becomes hard to hear people in the noise as the other students add their voices to the discussion.
"Quiet down," Thunder says, loud enough to be heard above the noise, in no small part to the fact he ARIS' system to amplify his voice. After a brief moment, all conversations die down.
"There is no chance of making it there in time to do anything," he says. "ARIS, bring up the lead in to that story." On the main screen, the lead in by the anchorman plays.
"There is an incoming message from the offices of President Da Silva," ARIS drones. Empath goes to a small viewscreen to handle the message at a nod from Thunder.
"I know it will be difficult to focus on our original task, but while we render what little aid we can in South America, it is important that we move forward with the plan to capture Split and his mercenaries. And by we I mean you. Michelle, you're in charge while we're gone. Between all of you, I have no doubt you'll be able to come up with an plan of attack, but Michelle has the final word," Thunder says with obvious confidence in your abilities.
"President Da Silva has asked for our help in the relief operations," Empath says.
"Time for us to go then," Thunder says. "We'll be back in a few days. If we find Anarchy, we'll call you in, so keep the other jet prepped." As they are leaving the room, Thunder says, "Michelle, I think I'll take Raisa with us, so you'll have to do without. Just in case we run into Anarchy, we'll need her until the rest of you can arrive. And Mendez is flying in this afternoon. Brief him on what's happening. He's an advisor, you're still in charge," he says, walking down the hall.
OOC: Because it is you who will be setting the trap for Split, you can discuss (in character) what you want to do, where you want to set it up... everything. Basically, you get the advantage of designing your meeting place, instead of me doing it! If you have a problem describing in character what you want, detail it out of character for me.
Downtown New York
X12 and Lynn Jenkins
One star struck clone and one star striking bombshell make their way out of the mall and down the always busy streets of New York. It's a bit of a longer walk than anticipated, about an hour, but you finally reach the Morgentaller District. It's an offshoot of Downtown without the towering skyscrapers. Shops are small and there is an open market on the sidewalk and cobbled roadway. Quaint and charming is the best way to describe the area.
It's quite busy as well, with people bustling about their business. Most everyone you pass takes note of the two of you as you pass, for differing reasons. Finally, you reach a small brick building that looks like an old, victorian style house. A wrought iron fence surrounds the building at the front of which is a simple, low gate with the number 813 worked into the iron. Above the main door of the house is a wooden sign that reads "Mark Jasman, Legal Telepath and Mystic."
Lynn Jenkins
As you walk and see the city, you are somewhat impressed with its general cleanliness. While you experience no more visions, you start getting the oddest of feelings as you walk with the teen you now know as X12. It is a similar feeling you get when you prepare to force a vision out of an item; a little tingling telling you that this object has a story to tell. Only it isn't coming from an object. You are nearly certain it is coming from X12 himself, rather than anything he is carrying.

"Breaking news from South America, where the trial of the terrorist Mason was just interrupted by an attack by Anarchy forces. These images are forty-five minutes old and be warned, are very graphic and disturbing in nature."
Thunder clicks off the view screen as the images you just watched start to replay. "That all happened forty-five minutes ago. Anarchy probably scrambled communications in the area. They're already gone. All we can do is go count bodies and see if there is any trace of where they went." Thunder's voice is more than a little heavy. "I appreciate all of your interest in going down there, and if there were a chance of catching them still there, we would all be going. I warned the SAA that this could happen.""There is an incoming message from the offices of President Da Silva," ARIS drones.

Once the fact that the newsfeed is old is revealed, Johan lets out a sigh that is part frustration, big part relief over not having to chance 'anybody' getting hurt. Once the seniors are out of the room and the planning starts, Johan speaks up.
"I am not comfortable with this. I promised Jennifer to take her to Mr. Split, not to use her as a bait to capture the latter."

As Thunder pass in front of him, Jeremy got the reflex to salute Thunder. He stays like that a moment but see after that moment, he finds it wasn't that necessary.
"Johan, I understand your concern, but it would not be the first time that kind of case happen. The thing we have to think it is what is is better for our goal. If it doesn't affect it, it might be better to tell her the trut, but if it can compromise the mission, we should not tell her. I think you are the one who knows better Jennifer, what do you think what will be her reaction?"

"What I surmise her reaction would be to such a revelation? She would be shocked, as well as angry, desperate, sad, and extremely untrusting, not necessarily in that order or in equal amounts. There's about an equal chance that she would try to either leave our presence, or attack us.
When such a plan would be put to action, her reaction would be even stronger, and her impulse to fight to protect Split high.
In short, she would react like any teenager when a person dear to them is threatened. Except that she is a mutant with a multitude of abilities, so the options open to her are much more varied and harder to predict.
The rift that would form in the relationship we have with her would also become so great that it would most likely be impossible for any of us to again gain her trust or acceptance."

"I know you don't like this Johan but we have little choice in the matter, if we don't use her to lure Split out M-tac will get her, would you rather her go back to them? And we can't just give her back to Split, look at what he has done to her. He treats her like property, I've seen people treat dogs better." Michelle states as she starts to pace again.
"Your also right about her not being to happy about this, we have to figure out a way to make sure she doesn't hurt herself or us once the trap has been sprung. Anna," she says glancing towards at the girl, "can you make something that will neutralise her powers for awhile or we could use some sort of sleep agent on her. Or does anyone else have an idea to contain her so one of us doesn't have to babysit her through the fight"?

"Hey, I could," Loki starts.
"I have no problem with that!" the other Johan pipes up, cutting him off. "I say we let her escape and head down to South America after dropping him off at M-Tac."
Carl snorts, amused. Anna smacks the other Johan on the arm.
"If we can keep her there, you mean," Rebound pipes up. "How do you stop her from leaving through cyberspace and wiring?"
"Hey, I could just," Loki says again.
"Hey, I nullifed Mason," Cosmo says cockily, cutting him off. "How hard could it be to cancel a little girl's powers. Or Jackal could scare the hell out of her and have her cowering like she did in Grandmothers office when Vince spooked her. She didn't run when terrified then. And I guarantee he's more scary than Big Red."
"You know I have these," Loki starts.
"Big Red?" Monica laughs.
"I could handle her too," the other Johan says. "I mean, there can be nine of me. I'm more worried about the pink freak. I don't think we really know the extent of that things power."
"He took Carl down!" Dara says.
"I'm still all for that escape thing though," Johan mumbles eliciting another smack from Anna.
"Hey!" Carl grumbles.
"And ate his gun!" Dara adds.
"We don't really have to," Loki says.
"That big pink ball of whatever is gonna get his, well before we go anywhere, I guarantee ya," Carl growls back at Dara.
"ARGH!" Loki shouts, then all of you end up blinking away spots and your ears pop. As your vision and hearing clears, Loki is gone and Jennifer is standing on the table.
"Can you hear me now?" Jennifer exclaims, fists on her hips.

"Yeah," Cosmo says. "Not to mention the fact you'll probably be joining her in jail. You know, breaking her out and all that."Metal Mistress said:

Jay said:
"Sounds like we better not tell her then," Monica says. "She's pretty naive. I doubt it will take her long to forgive and forget if we pull this off."Johan said:

Sanjay smirks at Loki. "Hey, yeah, good idea. No need to involve the real Jennifer, she can just stay here and rummage through Michelle's undies drawer while we take down Spanky. Heck, Randal normally acts like spoiled girl, so the illusion is complete," he adds, trying to keep a straight face.
"Now the big question is, how are we going to track all of his dupes? Or stop him from using them to escape?" He grimaces as soon as he says that, looking Cosmo's way. "See, that's the thing about tools. Once in a while, they come in handy."
