Tara says, looking back at Michelle.  "Here comes Thunder," she adds, pointing off towards the Tarmac.  Thunder is quickly storming in, the air smelling of ozone even at this range.HALLWAYSpeed Demon"What's this then?" Rebound asks with some confusion.  "Cloaked M-Tac?  Here?"  Rather than run, he puffs up, filling the hall with himself.Your sudden surge towards the agent catches him off guard.  Unable to even attempt a viable defense, you pummel him with a sound-barrier-breaking blow.  He gives an audible grunt but manages to roll with the punch, barely keeping his feet.  His cloth armor is quite spongy; definitely not up to par with their metallic suits, but it seems to protect him slightly.Attack roll:  15 hitsDamage save (DC 24):  19 succeeds (1S -- I'm assuming you aren't trying to kill him)Woozy from the blow, the M-Tac breaks his silence.  "Speed Demon can see through our cloak; I've been discovered."  You can't hear a response but he glances back at the Rebound filled hall, then heads for the door you just entered from, running as hard as he can and banging it through it with no regard for silence.He takes a double move action, expending a hero point to double his movement.  Not that that's a really big problem for you...Iniative order:  Speed Demon, Rebound, M-Tac (1S)CAFETERIANeutronFlour bursts into being from thin air, providing a light powdery dusting in a 10' cloud in front of the doorway.  Briefly, you spot a human shape amidst the cloud, then it dives out of it and forward trailing floury dust in its wake.  The flour itself may have stuck to whoever it is, but it turns invisible as it hits him."Hey, no fair staying invisible," Loki shouts, making sure everyone can hear him.  He then lets out a beam of light from his hands.  It strikes the invisible fellow, then changes color to yellow.  With a crackle, a woman in black, leathery, flour covered armor turns visible, the electronics of her suit scrambled for the moment.  You don't recognize her, and her flour covered armor conceals any possible insignia, but she looks more than a little surprised.An equal look of surprise is on the face of many of the nearby students.  Carl and Mr. Bunny are too involved in their fray to notice, but Raisa has definitely spotted whoever the person is.JohanAs you avoid getting squashed, or getting Jennifer squashed, an explosion of flour from one of the doors is followed by a burst of light and the sudden appearance of an armored and flour covered individual.  The general look of the armor looks a lot like it belongs to M-Tac.Initiatives in the Cafeteria:Loki 22, Neutron 14, M-Tac 12, Raisa 11, Johan 3She got surprised, and is now quite visible.  Loki took his turn in regular initiative.TARMACMichael"You are fortunate that Kodiak is far more gentle than most give him credit for.  And you are equally fortunate that Vincent did not attack you the moment you stepped foot off the jet.  What you, regardless of outward influence, did, is not something that will easily be forgotten.  In the case of Vincent, it will not easily be forgiven."  You notice she has not mentioned her own feelings on whatever it is she is talking about.  Fortunately, or maybe unfotunately, she elaborates."You ripped one of Vincent's wings from his body and nearly eviscerated me.  I got out of hospital just this morning.  That's twenty days under constant medical care.  Vincent was far luckier; X12 was able to heal his injuries and regenerate his wing.  I think it may do you well to see the video captures.  We wouldn't want you to slip back into your old ways that resulted in this trouble in the first place, would we," she says without actually asking a question.  She still doesn't sound all that mad at you.  It's almost eerie."That is what you and Cosmo were so happily talking about, was it not?" she asks, then glances past you as you hear someone come up.  That same frown as before comes over her face."Hey, Jun," Monica says cheerfully, though she avoids addressing you.  "What's going on?"X12"Jun Po isn't running off so things must be alright.  Let's ask her before we go butting heads with Thunder," Monica says, grabbing you by the hand and pulling you over to Michael and Jun Po.  Along the way, she changes sides so you are between Michael and her."Hey, Jun," she says cheerfully.  "What's going on?"You can't help but notice Jun Po gives Monica a once over and a frown appears on her face.</blockquote>
