Valkyrie shrugs as Bishop explains Cardinal's plans. "Pantheon, Cardinal's personal elite army, whatever, sounds like small-minded, elitist garbage to me, whatever you call it. And that still doesn't explain why she attacked Eden or why you think we're still in danger." She looks around at the carnage. "What more could she possibly do here and why would she even bother?"
"She wants you, me, every elite here to bow to her, if we don't then we die. She is convinced she is fighting a war against a being she calls the Overseer, I don't know what kind of elite this could be, but she beleives with the help of her
children she can win..." Bishop replies bitterly, "in the end she intends to use any elite as fodder in this quest."

When Bishop mentions the man's condition, Anika begins to get anxious. She pauses, thinking a moment.
"Set him down," she says resolutely to Bishop. Kneeling in front of the dying man, she says,
"I've never tried this before...". Placing one hand on the man, she draws a rune in the air
and chants,
"Hel, goddess of the underworld, please spare this man, for it is not yet his time to enter your realm."
OOC: EE and HP to cast Healing +8 on the dying dude.
Bishop sets the body down, and steps back as Anika calls on her power. With great effort, the man’s injury seal up quickly, and gasps at air. He looks around shaken, “What happened? I thought I was going to die…”
Bishop crouches, “It seems this young lady here, has healed you. A rare gift even in these trying yet exciting times.” He turns to Anika, “I know you don’t trust me, it is a wonder you did not strike me down when you saw me. But I want to help, you must believe that.”
James, Ryan, & Mark
Mark arrives seconds later as Yoshi replies over the communication line, “Sure thing boss, just making a quick drop-off, and away I go!”
Ryan looks dreadfully normal, well normal in the sense that he isn’t glowing. He looks just normal, there is no other way to explain it. People in the room are looking curiously at the young hero somewhat confused at what is happening.
Kelly
Kelly beams her bright smile, but Paragon is in no smiling mood, “Bloody hell,” he shouts, “excuse me,” he says walking briskly away from Kelly towards a gathered group of UNJE soldiers, “alright, I want Bishop brought to me now! Anika, this is Paragon retrieval teams in route keep Bishop distracted, we are going to take him down and bring him in. Remember your training, this man is solely responsible for Mexico City, he is extremely dangerous.”
He turns to Kelly, “No, not now, this is no place for a civilian,” he sighs for a moment. Then looks up curiously as what looks like aurora borealis criss-crosses the sky. He furrows his brow, “Bloody hell, now what!”
Cassie & Karen
As Cassie makes a dash for the elevator the door slides open as she gets about forty feet away. Standing in the doorway with her arms folded across her bosom is Arafina with a quaint, almost sweet smile. She speaks towards the teens, “Right on time, and here the Red Witch thought you would be late for your appointment.”
