"Actually, this is Ryan again," he says with a small smile. "Finally. Tell Paragon to relax; I'm in an Aerodyne over the Atlantic. I'm just wondering how the team is doing, and if you got any kind of message or whatever from our last location. Or maybe something on the TV, I don't know. Thanks, by the way."
"How's James doing?"
“Nothing yet, everything is all hush hush, only thing I know is that the UNJE has a media blackout on the situation in Italy and the other team members are at the Verona Facility,” she replies quickly.
She pauses at the mention of James, “He is stable, but not getting any better Kiyana has been at his side the whole time, but there is no improvement in his condition. If you are on your way back here, then you should take a look at him and see if you can do anything with your powers…”
In the background Tommy’s clone shrugs, “If I were Legion, I would definitely play this little card to my advantage.”
Karen
“I just need some rest and some time for my body to recover,” he leans back, “Just having you here is a breath of fresh air. I am more concerned with what happened to you, did everything go okay with Cassie and Kelly… are they here too?”
An automated nurse automaton enters the room to check Kal while the two speak. He glances at it and then turns to Karen, “So you want to get out of here?”
Rest of the Team
The team is given ample time to clean-up and food is prepared in a common area for the teens to eat and relax. Several large monitors display local and international video feeds, not unlike the cafeteria although much smaller in scope.
Of note on the monitors has a CNN talking about the murder of several DEA agents in upstate New York by Pantheon terrorists during a routine training operation gone horribly wrong. Elites attacked several innocent baselines and then murdered several DEA agents before fleeing the scene.
The reporter finishes with a look of sadness, “Our hearts go out to the families of these brave men and women.”
