Two of the policemen shoot at Rot Grub then he appears in the open and he takes a glancing hit on the arm, it hurts but isn't any danger. The minigun on the suits shoulder seems an obvious choice for someone intending to hit a weapon system and you grab hold of it. The metal begins to corrode but so far its not destroyed.
The five remaining cops shoot at the aproaching car but hit nothing. One of them is hit by another firelance from Patriot and flies backwards into the dinner.
"Okay kid, now try out the breaks. There."
The trooper in the suit seems a bit surprised about Rot Grubs action since he can't see his corroding gun and just punches him in the face with servoenhanced strength. (Rot Grub got bruised)

Katie turned off her computer, the satisfying click letting her know that temporarily her closest connection to the internet was cut off. Yet she could see feel the world around her, feel the machinery - the tiny microcomputers that remained a part of everything in modern day life. Microwaves, personal laptops, televsions, DVD players, cars, -- she could feel everyone of them, talk to them...

It was nice to never be alone - to always have voices - inhuman voices playing in your head. Yet unsettling at times, especially when she tried to explain to her parents this world. It was a world they could never quite understand and she didn't understand either. She knew that she shouldn't let anyone know that she was a mutant, that there were bad people out there who would take her away from people who loved her.

And yet , it felt like being so false to herself to hide away like this. To always hide something that was so deeply a part of her. To be a caged bird singing a song - perhaps thinking she's free, but caged none-the-less.

The CD player clicked on and Alicia Key's song - Caged Bird - begins to play through the room, leaving her gazing at the fire in thoughtful silence.

Gritting her teeth and nodding, Eris slams on the brakes stopping the car up only a few feet short of actually running down the cops. This isn't any good, I can't help John if I'm cooped up in the car, she thinks angrily. Thowing a look at him, Eris opens her door and stands behind it for a second tensing her legs. It was farther then she had ever done it, but she wouldn't let him down. Her eyes glowling like a cat only emphasized the feline nature of her leap. She struck out with her fist at the cop as she was coming down behind him, aiming at his neck.
 

I'll switch to the suit in general, using my feat "Rapid strike" to attack the suit twice, using my power of corrosion each time.

"Yikes! Let's just see how much your suit can take shall we?"

And maybe, just maybe, I can hold out until some sort of help arrives.

Eris hits the breaks and manages to get the car standing-somehow-it slides towards the burning wreckage of the first police car and screeches to a halt. Partiot lets go of the car the moment it slows and is thrown forward towards the policemen. His right fist lights up and draws a line of fire behind it before he crashes into the first officer. The man flies back into another car with enough force to crash its windshield. Eris leaps out of the door now the there is space to do so and lands behind a very surprised policemen. He takes a shot at her while she is still in the air but she turns to the side and he misses. She hits his neck from behind and he drops to the ground without anohter sound.
The remaining three officers shoot at Patriot and one even hits him in the shoulder while he rolls to a stand after his attack but he just shrugs it of.
Rot Grub tries to get a good hold of the suit again and touches the helmet. The trooper tries to hit him again but his fist stops in middair as the servos chease working. The whole suit has rusted to a wreck after just two touches from Micheael.

Kathy returns from her vacation three days later and the next few weeks go by without much trouble. It seems that nothing interesting ever happens while you are waiting for something. Truth does not contact you again but a few days after her message the invitation to the San Graciano college come in. They offer a job at their normal college and the local university as assistent to a Dr. Luka Garcia. Strange enough the permision to leave the country comes in suspicously easy and all is set in record time.

Eris gives a small smirk of satisfaction as the cop falls soundlessly, its not because she likes to hurt people, but it was satisfying after being a punching bag for so long. Stepping over the unconsciuos cop, the girl kicks out at one of the three remaining cops, putting the momentum behind her movement to use in a roundhouse aimed at the back of his head, followed in rapid succession by a punch intended for the closer of the other two cops, she was more interested in stopping them from hurting Patriot, so the pair of blows was a little rushed, but there wasn't much alternative.
 

Chamber, between here and there.

After the plane takes off Jonothan tries his best to settle into a comfortable possition and get some sleep. Even if his companion thinks there won't be trouble, you never know. Jonothan figures he might as well be rested just in case.

Note to self: controls possibly in the helmet so helmet is weak point in armor. Remember that for next time if there is a next time.

Looks at the guy in the suit suit taken aback a bit to see his handiwork, then takes off at full sprint for the closest exit, putting the suit between him and the cops using it for cover, zig-zagging to make himself a harder target to hit.
