At 7 AM Max get up and gets ready for his appointment. He goes to Rinea's room and They get into the car and head off to Max's 11 o'clock meeting. While driving there Max tells her that if anyone asks who she is while at the school she is to say she is Max's sister. Once they know what is going on at the school they will decide if they should let anyone know Rinea's story.

"Now that that is straight, did you see anything on the TV last night that you have any questions about?"

“Thank you…” the woman says as the child is placed safely in her arms. She hugs the child tightly, looking upon Black Star with gratitude and admiration. Black Star begins to gather the hostages, but the sound of an explosion outside interrupts her from the task. Black Star would look up in time to see Officer Tanaka fall into a heap, smoke rising from his body. The boy with the amulet could be seen flying away.

The nurse’s flesh is still warm to the touch, indicating that there might still be hope in rescuing Amelia. As he races toward the staircase, a sideways glance at the nurse’s station would show another nurse lying upon the ground. The desk had kept her hidden from James’ eyes when he had first gone into Amelia’s room.

James paused on the landing of the stairwell, trying to think. To his memory, the hospital did not have a helipad, though it was entirely possible that he had just never been present when one of the helicopters came in. A few floors below, he could hear the sound of footsteps hurrying on the stairs, and the squawk of a radio.

Indeed, Gregory Hansen does seem to be a common name, though Cloud does find one seemingly relevant result. It was a news article from two years ago from the New York Times. The title read ‘Rogue Mutants Arrested’. The article detailed the arrest of a band of mutants responsible for attacks on various prominent anti-mutant political figures. Hansen is only mentioned briefly as the man responsible for helping to lead the police to the mutants.

The drive to Charleston is an uneventful one, though Rinea does have many questions about a show called ‘The Three Stooges’, that she had watched. After about an hour of driving, they arrive at the address that they have been given. It is for an office building, room 607. It is 10:30 by the time they arrive and manage to park at a parking deck across the street.

Watching Cloud considers the story for a long couple minutes. That could certainly explain some of the things he said over dinner, she thinks. He probably knows something about the Academy's program. But I still don't know what kind of person he is. Better stick with my gut instinct and be wary for now. With luck, I'll never see him again.

She had intended to Dreamwalk across the Atlantic later tonight to check out the Academy campus in person. Mr. Hansen's presence in the house has put her on edge, though, so instead she opens up her messenger program to see which of her friends are online tonight.

Cloud spends the next couple hours messaging with friends and then calls it an early night. She resolves to speak with Dad tomorrow morning about his work.

Max and Rinea cross the street, noting the name of the building if there is any. Then they enter the lobby and check the building directory to see what is listed for room 607. After getting that information, they head up to the room.

"Oh my god, no!" Black Star exclaims, bursting out of the train and flying towards Officer Tanaka, hoping she will be able to heal him.

If he is still alive and she can heal him, she will focus on that first, then give chase.

Power: Heal +7

"You shall not escape me," she says angrily towards the fleeing mutant, rising quickly into the air. "I will not permit this to continue."

With that, she flies at maximum speed towards the man at her fastest speed, force field still circling about her, firing off a burst of sparkling energy to blind her foe.

Attack: Dazzle +7 (+7 to hit, DC 17 reflex)

'Hmm. Leaving by helicopter seems less likely anyway; it's far more conspicuous. I guess I'll go with my gut and check downstairs...'

James began bounding down the stairs, leaping across the central stairwell rather than running down each and every step. He kept his eyes open for the guard he knew must be below him, the anger mounting in his chest.

(OOC: If James finds the guard and no-one else is with him, he's going to try and slam him into the wall, screaming "Where is she?!" If there are other people there too, his actions may be different..)

Jonn heard the obnoxious noise and turned to see what Tank was staring at. No doubt about it, that door was gonna blow!

"Proton! We are about to have a huge problem out here!" Jonn looked around the hall to see if any other doors were still open.

"Well Tank, looks like things are about to get real interesting."

“Intruders, probably. Lockdown always occurs when security is breached,” Shannon said thoughtfully. Then, her eyes narrowed slightly as she regarded Proton with suspicion. “Intruders like you! Just who are you, anyway?”

“Geez, man, what the hell is that?” Tank said, staring at the dents in the metal door.

All of the doors in the hallway appeared to be closed. As Rumble and Tank looked on, more dents appeared in the door. After what felt like several hours, something punched through the metal. It was small, and cast a strange green light. It appeared to be a gauntlet of some sort. After a moment, a second gauntlet joined it. Both hovered in the hallway, emitting a strange humming sound.

“Intruders, probably. Lockdown always occurs when security is breached,” Shannon said thoughtfully. Then, her eyes narrowed slightly as she regarded Proton with suspicion. “Intruders like you! Just who are you, anyway?”

"Oh, stop it," Marcus said, becoming exasperated. "I was here for a meeting up on four in . . . about 10 minutes when all these metal doors slammed down. My friends and I came in to see if we could help. Stay here, you'll be safer at the moment, I need to check on them and let them know what I found."

With that said, Marcus really does move through the wall to where Rumble and Tank were.

Several of Cloud’s friends are online, and she spends a comfortable evening chatting with them. During the night, she sleeps well, but has the same strange dream periodically. In the dream, she finds herself lost on a dark wooded path. Occasionally, she could see the reflection of moonlight off of a pair of eyes; she was being watched intently, but in the darkness she could not see what it was that was watching her.

As they make their way toward the building, Rinea is quite fascinated with the bustle of the city. She stops several times to examine items that interested her, including once in the middle of the street to look at an oncoming vehicle.

The black lettering on the building indicates that it is the Jacob Weatherbee Memorial Building. After taking a moment to examine the building directory, Max soon realizes that there is no listing for office 607. Across the room, Rinea had found the elevators, and was pushing the up and down buttons to see what they did.
