Solaire
Solaire and Havok crawled to the crest of the hill and peered down upon the holding camp in the Appalachians of West Virginia. "You know if we pull this off," Solaire began, "the X-Force just might come around to thinking I'm useful."
"We'll be lucky if we even get to the main gates," Havok replied. "But we have to try. If my intel is correct, this is the very facility where Emma Frost is being held, that is, if they didn't kill her already. The Resistance could really use someone with telepathic abilities like hers."
Solaire pulled out a pair of binoculars and focus in on the prisoners moving about in the open air. "Big surprise. They're all collared. Guess we can't rely on any inside help."
"That's not necessarily true," responded Havok. "I hear a technophile mutant named Gadget managed to disable his collar as well a several others in anticipation of a rescue attempt. I'm not 100% sure we can count on them to support us."
"I thought Gadget was dead."
"It's convenient how many mutants have managed to fake their deaths these days. Like I said, I'm not completely certain we can count on my intel, but it's all we have."
"Okay. Well, I'm ready to go as soon as you are."
"Then let's get busy."
With that, Havok and Solaire threw a coordinated burst of energies at the main gate as they rushed the mutant holding complex. Almost immediately, a pair of sentinels flew from the central area of the complex to meet them. "Dammit! We've gotta hurry or those tin cans are gonna do the works on us!" Havok screamed as the two mutants got ever closer to the gate.
"Attention, unregistered mutants!" a familiar robotic voice echoed across the mountains. "Surrender immediately or be destroyed!
"They've got our number, Havok! I sure hope your guys on the inside help us out pronto!"
As soon as Havok and Solaire arrived about 30 yards from the entrance, there was a sudden explosion inside the complex. It appeared Havok's information had been right! Very quickly they saw one of the mutants within the complex fly up into the air and clap his hands together, creating a deafening boom across the mountains. The sentinels were momentarily thrown back by the burst. At the same time, another mutant tossed several small balls of explosive materials towards the main gate. The combined effects of Havok, Solaire and the mutant girl was finally enough to breach the gate.
"Alright everybody, let's hurry!" the mutant girl shouted prompting the rest of the mutants to rush for the gate.
By this time the sentinels had recovered and continued to pursue the fleeing mutants as well as Havok and Solaire. The flying mutant clapped his hands together again, but somehow the sentinels had adapted to his power and were no longer affected. At this, the flying mutant dashed towards the exit with the other mutants.
"Everyone into the mountains! Havok cried. "We'll rendezvous with you after we've held these big guys off!"
The mutants fleeing through the gate did as they were told and scattered into the countryside. Meanwhile Solaire and Havok divided their attacks between the two sentinels. "Aim for their rockets!" Havok ordered. "They'll be much slower if we ground 'em!"
Solaire did just that, aiming his powerful beams of light at the rocket boots of the sentinel he had targeted. Then came some unexpected help from the mutant girl with the explosive pellets. Soon the sentinels were crashing to the ground. As they recovered, Havok called for a retreat.
"Thanks for your help, senorita," Solaire said to the mutant girl.
"Anytime, handsome," she replied. "And you can call me Boom Boom."

Hmmm. Norelin thinks.* This is the previous home of Dr. Strange. It's possible that he still lives here, that is if he is still alive. If so, it looks like he is hiding. There's a good chance that there will be protections regardless.
Norelin casually walks into the deeper shadows and uses Sensing-Mystical Detection to determine if there is any magic in the area, specifically in the direction of the house, but also in all other directions above, below, and behind her. She did not want to get caught unaware. Depending on what she finds will determine her next course of action.
* Norelin thinks in Tibetan.
[sblock=OOC]
Does Norelin have to make some type of dice roll here? I'm still not sure how Sensing-Mystical Detection works and whether she needs a rank in it.

Fastlane:
"Yeah," the cute little bruntte says with a smile. "I don't think my car is ever going anywhere ever again." She hops into the car and the two are soon speeding off down the highway thanks to a little mutant "push". "Wow this car is faster than it looks," she says with a laugh. "My name is Joyce what's yours?"
***********************************************
Sheng Tsung:
As the Red Snake Sorcerer approaches the facility, he notices a couple guards on patrol. Watching them pass and use an access card to open a side door he quickly takes up a postion to enter when the door next opens. The scroll is in the building, above Sheng's current postion, the top floor maybe. A half hour of waiting and he gets his chance to enter, sneaking in is all to easy. A quick run to the stairs at the rear and he is on his way up to the top floor. At the door of the top floor he stops looking out careful he sees an empty hallway, and decides to dash out leaving the stairwell door open. The pull of the scroll leads him down the coridor but suddenly.
"WANK!! WANK!! WANK!!" alarms start to sound and all the lights simple go out. The scroll it is again on the move after it was stationary for so long. Charging forward in the dark and around a bend Sheng runs right into two guards.

Solaire:
After the successful hit on the Sentinel Camp X-Force lays low for a week and then plans a week of night raids to keep even more concealed for the time being. Solaire isn't enlisted to help on any of those raids, as his powers would be of little use. But just as few days after that attack Havok calls Solaire to talk to him about something important. It seems something is going down soon in the Richmond, Virgina area soon and the need a little recon on the area and situation. Havok asks Solaire if he would go there a snoop around see what he can find out, and report back tp X-Force.
************************************
Providence:
The night shadows help to hide Providence as she looks around the home for something out of the ordinary. Senseing nothing she ponders what the Trouble Seeker has gotten her into this time.

She hops into the car and the two are soon speeding off down the highway thanks to a little mutant "push". "Wow this car is faster than it looks," she says with a laugh.

"What kind of recon, Havok? And where exactly should I begin my search? Richmond is a big place.
By the way, you happen to know where Boom Boom went after the raid? It would help to have someone to get my back when I go in and the girl has moxie. I think we'd work well together."

"Dominic, and where are you headed?" He asks as he pulls back onto the highway.

"We don't know where but we are going to give you a sector to watch, and report back on. We are sending others, Boom Boom is one of them, she actually voulnteered to help. So you may see her at the tracker station where all of the recon teams are to make your reports. All we have heard is something big is going to be happening in Richmond, so we need to find out what and when. You in kid?" asks Havok

Providence
Around the rear of the Sanctum you find a broken window that will allow you to enter. There is no magical energies present, but the "feel" of something not right can be felt deep in your bones.

"I'm headed to Richmond, on assignment," she says. "I work for USA Today Southlands. I'm going to hopefully get an interview with Senator McGrafton. He is holding some sort of rally and going to make a "big" annoucement. Probably going to run for president."

[sblock=ooc] You don't seem to have a stunt picked for your fire generation power. You could take create fire shield and that would make a fire ring around your opponents. And in MSH you just tell me what you want to do and you either do it without rolling or if I believe you need to make a FEAT check I will roll for it and let you know the result. [/sblock]
The guards alert to an intruder act quickly. One draws a stungun and the other pulls out his baton, each holding their weapon with practiced ease. As they appraoch Sheng the sorcercer disappears and moves stealthly to the wall of the hallway. "A mutie!" one guard screams, "Go infrared!". The guards snatch at their belts for the equipment they need to see the invisible intruder.
[sblock=Round over] Ok first round over the guards got to go first but just drew weapons and got off the floor to attack. We can say you tried to go around but hearing they have a way to see you, you need to confront them. So now Round 2 post your action and init and I will edit in what happens for each round like a recap. [/sblock]
