"I..I was just doing what I thought was right Cassie...I didn't mean for all of this to happen, and now more people are going to die...because of me. I wish I could just go away somewhere no one would ever be able to find me and just be alone so I couldn't hurt anyone else." the blonde girl sobbed, ignoring the fact that Ryan was running away with her. For once her powers acting on her emotions was a blessing, or at least a temporary one. a fog bank rose to shroud all of the students as they ran, hiding Kelly away from everyone, from everything.
OOC: Obscure 10 covers an area of roughly 4 miles.
Kelly’s mist obscures their escape as the teens move out at near full tilt, as well as quickly as their limbs can carry them in the terrain. Slogging through the ice is hard work for any person, although slightly easier for the elites and their enhanced physiques.
Back at the Battle
“Colonel Himura Sumi of UNJE Special Forces Operations you are way outside your area of jurisdiction, your credentials check out,” the DEA Officer replies already overseeing the cleanup operation.
Colonel Himura nods, “This is a mess,” she glances to the old woman being rushed to an emergency vehicle. The woman suffered several bullet wounds but she was still clinging to life. The Colonel turns back to the officer, “You have seven civilians dead, and one wounded severely, the fact that no press is here reeks of a press blackout, am I wrong?”
The Officer grimaces, “What about Kelly Mitchell?”
“She escaped in the confusion, when your men opened fire without warning,” the Colonel replies, “this is a Class A foul up. If this ever got out to the press your Department would face public censure and most likely an independent investigation.”
“So you want a total cover-up?”
“It is really in both of our best interests at this time, while you find out why your men acted without your authority. Charge me if you like but that case would bring heavy exposure. Now transport me to a medical facility, preferably the same one you are sending the old woman,” the Colonel replies.
The Teens on the Run
The fog plays to the teens advantage and after about an hour of running, evading, and staying under cover they find an old cabin, it could provide cover from the now slow falling snow. The chill in the air, is only amplified by their visible breath.
“Should we seek shelter or keep moving?” Chance asks, “It may seem obvious but given Kelly’s current state of mind, lugging her around will slow us down. If you ask me, we should just dump her and continue on with the objective.”
