Mad Scientist / Head of Intel Division
[The Institute]
[Advanced Systems, Corridors]

Lavan was... to be fair, at the moment he was simply too focused on the situation and the danger he was in to remain shocked for long. Just a few minutes ago, he was brought by the Synth to a woman, not to a prison cell. Said woman gave him a hypodermic shot without any preamble, told him to get the hell out of there, and said that he was on his own.

Well. That was something. He didn't expect any help whatsoever, but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

The problem was where he ended up right afterward. He was kicked out of the room into a pure white corridor with nothing but the clothing on his back to his name. He stank from about a week of being held in captivity, he was hungry, he was weaponless, and he was in the middle of hostile territory with a bum hand. Granted, it was a bum hand that was quickly FIXING itself, but it was a bum hand and he knew that it was going to scar. His regeneration wasn't working. His powers weren't working.

... So how did Rin's powers work, when his didn't?

Additionally, something else made him frown. The Institute wasn't just Synths, and during the many times he woke up and was re-sedated, he was privy to a pretty interesting conversation about some experiments that were happening in the depths of the Bioscience Labs, wherever that was.

Lavan knew that he wouldn't be able to get out of this place in any normal way. He was surrounded by enemies on every front. The whole place was full of monitoring systems, so The Institute and its leadership probably already knew that something wasn't quite right. And the synths were strong. Physically overbearing, faster than he was, stronger than he was, more resilient than he was... And probably carried weapons that could do some crazy stuff, judging by the level of technology in this place.

He knew plasma weapons. He REALLY wanted to know what these guys used as weaponry.

But for now, he needed to move. Fast. And he needed to do something way against the grain to make this work. In places like this one, anyone who wanted to get out would want to find a centralized location from which to find an exit, and go right for that exit. Lavan, however, knew better. In his situation, that sort of direct escape was impossible, especially with no allies or backup other than just one re-purposed synth and a strange woman. No, he needed to do something different. Something outside the box.

He needed to get to Bioscience. He needed to find something, ANYTHING he could make into explosives. And then, he needed to find the central control boards for the Pylon systems. Only then did he have a good shot at getting out.

Keeping low and trying to keep his eye out for anything that looked even remotely like a camera or some form of watching device, trying to stay out of sight of anyone else, Lavan slunk away down the hallway. Very quickly, he discovered that patrols were EVERYWHERE and that cameras were obviously going to be a problem. Avoiding anything like that was going to be almost impossible, but Lavan could wear red and disappear in a forest. His stealth skills, honed by years of being remote and alone, were still as fresh and sharp as they ever were, and he managed to sneak past several patrolling synths with weapons. Even a courser, one of the very elite synths, was given a wide berth and avoided...

But he had to back-track twice, and had to truly put himself to the test to stay out of sight. Finally, he managed to make a break to another side hallway, falling into quiet pace with another patrol of two synths and barely hiding behind some potted plant fixtures to avoid a pair of scientists passing through the same hall, only to find himself at a much older style of door.

A heavy duty blast door most frequently used in the pre-cataclysm bunkers. It stood out in stark contrast to the pristine white walls of the facility and its high-tech sliding doors. And it was locked. Cursing to himself, the red-head pouted and prodded at the door a few times, looking at the frames of the doorway only to find that a lot of the metal was strangely frayed, as though they were welded. But it was a rough job, incomplete, and several wire bunches could be seen through tiny gaps.

That was more than enough for Lavan. Pulling at his belt, he pulled out a long, thin metallic wire, threaded it through the holes and began to prod around, tongue stuck in between his lips in concentration. As he did so, he suddenly heard another set of foorsteps down the hallway he came from, and accelerated his attempts. As the footsteps grew closer, he finally prodded something important and there was a hiss as the lock latches released on the blast door, and he hipped up, grabbed the handle, twisted it with a loud 'chunk' and slid through the doorway into a much darker, emergency-red-lit hallway.

A hallway full of broken equipment, torn walls... And dried blood.

"... Huh. Well. ........ Crap."

Galv turned to Melanie, pulling her into a hug. Instantly the woman dropped her head against him in a soft thump, letting out a sigh her didn't even know she was holding.

“It's okay Melanie... it's not your fault. I should have been there too. Let's find Blake. I... think he's this way,”

Melanie gave a small nod, following her husband down the hall. "As much as I hate to admit it Kanna may have a point about this being unsafe for him...I....I just don't know what to do about it right now."

[...]

From her spot Samara watched as Blake hopped up and went running, the girl unsure what he was doing....Whatever it was it made him happy...She could feel the boy's excitement-

So she mimicked him, rushing after the boy.

[Freeside]

A shot rang out and for a moment Jade's attention turned from controling Gloria (which would hopefully give her a small chance of breaking the control) to the group in front of she and Sire. While she knew this could be a costly mistake in accomplishing their goal Jade couldn't help but to grin when she spotted Connor.

"Oh, this just got so much more fun...." she purred, looking back to Gloria.

Gloria gasped the moment she felt some control return to her body and she reached down into her bag and pulled out a long syringe, and stabbed it into her hip. She injected herself with whatever was inside and groaned out in pain – but by the time Jade looked back to her, Gloria was getting on her feet.

“You messed with my business, and now you're going to pay!” Gloria growled, grabbing for her gun and firing at Jade!

From across the road, Connor groaned. This was going to be bad...

[The Institute]

The red-lit hallway Lavan now found himself in was a dismal place. Unlike the rest of the Institute, which was full of immaculate white walls, highly polished chrome floors and an almost sterile feeling at every glance; this hallway was full of grime, dirt and blood. It was clearly the sight of something... bad.

Among the ruins in this hallway, though, was a prize waiting for Lavan to find. The broken body of a Synth – an older model, to be sure – crumpled in the corner and missing an arm and both legs. However, what it lacked in limbs it made up for in trendy accessories – namely a long black belt with several small canisters on it, and a large and oddly shaped gun clutched in the fingers of its remaining hand.

Blake smiled happily as he was chased, finding Yuki hot on his tail. He was tempted for a moment to poof away faster, but that, he decided, would be cheating.

He did dart into the hallway, seeing a few more doors, picking one at random and racing inside.



Galv thought for a moment as they walked along the hallways.

“You... had a shadow like Samara, right?” Galv asked. It had been before the Games... “What happened with it? Or him, or her?”

Galv didn't really know how that worked. “Does everyone with shadow powers get it? I haven't seen anything like that from Adrianna...”

Who was technically his sister-in-law even though she was a little older then Blake.

-Freeside-

Edda sighted again, seeing Jade and Gloria still tangling, then aimed towards Sire.

He fired again, the shot wizzing towards the man!

-The Institute-

Gallic nodded, then frowned. If Rin was planning on replacing the leaders...

“Are you only replacing the leaders?” Gallic asked now. “Or other influential people?”

He was worried about Claire. While Gallic and Rin had chemistry, there hadn't been a spark at all between Gallic and Claire, but she was someone who desired a higher purpose, and had found it aiding Gallic...

Melanie was quiet for a moment before giving a small nod. "I don't know if everyone gets one, but I did. Apparently it's a product of all the built up power. When I was little the power would be stuck inside me and would hurt, a lot. I don't remember when but as a kid I eventually manifested that power outward and it made....Well...It made him. He was basically like Samara but eventually more dangerous....I ended up having to figure out another way to manifest the power, to keep it outside, but also keep it from forming a being...."

The woman sighed.

-Freeside-

“You messed with my business, and now you're going to pay!”

Jade whipped back around, an annoyed expression on her face as Gloria attacked. Instantly she brought her own arms up in order to shoot back, not with bullets but shards of razor-sharp ice.

"I'm going to need to you hurry up and die!" she hissed "I have plans for all your weapons!"

The room Blake rushed into was a large, open garage. There were several parked vehicles – jeeps, an armored personnel carrier, and a small tank. There weren't any people in the room, but there were large barrels, boxes and various tools scattered around.

Yuki was hot on his tail, trying to catch up with him!

[Freeside]

One of the icicles stabbed into Gloria's arm and she screamed out, but jumped back behind her truck. She was bleeding bad and her brother was dead, but she wasn't ready to give up. She crawled into the back of the truck, grabbing a plasma grenade.

Outside, Sire was struck by a bullet that smashed against his armor and he growled, his focus now entirely on Edda.

“Okay! Time to rip your face off and use it as toilet paper.” Sire smirked; and he rushed forward – the ground exploding out in front of him in the form of giant stone spikes!

[The Institute]

“It depends.” Rin replied, shrugging her shoulders. “I'd like to replace as few as possible – Synths are complicated to build, and there's a bit of micromanagement on my part... but if someone is important enough that I need their voice to shape things correctly, I will replace them.”

She shook her head, looking to Gallic. “This is the only way, Don. Rebuilding society is possible. It just needs... help.”

Galv sighed softly, keeping his arm around Melanie as they walked.

“And I think Blake has my power too, so he's super charging those shadows at the same time...” Galv said, shaking his head, worried. “I wish I knew what I could do for him...”



Blake raced through the large room, hesitating for a moment, then started to climb the tank!

Because what kid wouldn't?

-Freeside-

Edda smirked as Sire started to move forward, Paul coming up now.

There was only one person Edda trusted more then Chloe in a fight...

Paul's hands moved, the stone spikes hitting a translucent wall, shattering against them.

He focused, a chain coming from the ground, shooting forward and trying to wrap around Sire, as Edda started to switch his ammo...

-The Institute-

Gallic sighed slightly, thinking.

“...Claire will definitely notice something is up. I doubt she'd jump to 'robot duplicate' but...” Gallic said, thinking out loud. “Honestly I think she'd go along with it...”

He sighed and stood up. “I... will need some supplies...”

"There might not be anything we can do..." Melanie mumbled with a sigh. "I doubt there's anything in the entire world exactly like him...."

The woman stopped in her tracks and closed her eyes, focusing for a moment to try to sense Blake. After a few seconds she looked back to Galv and took his arm. "This way" she said simply, leading him to where she had felt the small boy- fortunately it didn't seem as if he was upset...In fact he felt...Happy?

-Freeside-


Jade's eyes shot over to the back of the truck Gloria had moved behind, grinning as she assumed that she now had the woman trapped.

"You don't have to die you know..." Jade purred, obviously lying. "You could just give up....Give me your weapons. Run away and live to fight another day"

She formed another long ice dagger in her hands, coming over slowly....

Yuki was hot on Blake's tail, looking around and only stopped when she spotted the tank – and Blake trying to climb up its side.

“I seeee you!” She called out to him, but she seemed more interested in the tank. “My dad has one of those... he says it can fly.”

[Freeside]

Sire was suddenly wrapped in the chain, and he growled – but as he did, the metal in the chain started to shake and rattle and then snap! It floated up around him, and then fired off at Edda and Paul like bullets!

“You don't get it, do you? I survived the Legion! I survived the Enclave! It'll take a lot more than a couple of pathetic idiots with some cheap tricks to take me down! I'll tear your entrails out through your eyeballs and then shove them back down your throat!”

[The Institute]

Rin shrugged. “Don, you're welcome to anything you need here. Our resources are vast.”

She produced a small watch-like device from her pocket, and walked over and strapped it to Gallic's wrist. She pressed a button, and the screen turned green.

“It's similar to a Pip-Boy, but more streamlined. With this you'll have unlimited access to the facility. Feel free to do as you like... just...”

She hesitated, and sighed. “... I realize you've been through a lot, and it would be naive of me to assume it hasn't changed you. If you cannot commit to what I'm doing, I harbor no ill will towards that... but I can't allow anyone to undermine what I'm doing, not even you. Please Don... please don't.”

Galv found himself smiling slightly, despite the tenseness of the situation.

“There's no one in the world like him, Joyce, or yourself either,” Galv said, “But we'll do everything we can for him.”



Blake paused now, stopping his ascent and looking downwards towards Yuki.

“They can?” Blake said, looking at the tank. “I bet my dad could make one fly! He's really good at building stuff!”

While neither Joyce nor Blake had the engineering spark that Galv had (Galv would have to wait for Kyran for that), Blake was still proud and amazed but what his dad could make.

-Freeside-

The ruined chain hit another translucent wall, Paul gritting his teeth as he focused on keeping it up.

Edda frowned, placing his anti-materiel rifle away, pulling out a grenade, fiddling with it.

He popped up, lobbying the grenade hard at Sire! But he had messed with it... it would explode a lot sooner then normal!

-The Institute-

Gallic gave Rin a small smile as she got closer to him, placing on the device.

“I won't, Rin...” Gallic said, then pulled her close suddenly, pulling her into a small hug. “I wish things could have gone differently...”

Melanie smiled weakly at Galv's comment, continuing to head him towards the halls to where she felt their son to be hiding. The woman turned the corner and went though a large door, blinking as she noticed just where her powers had lead them.

To a room. With a tank. This couldn't be good.

"B-Blake? Blake are you in here?" she called out.

-Freeside-

Jade's eyes shot over to the back of the truck Gloria had moved behind, grinning as she assumed that she now had the woman trapped.

"You don't have to die you know..." Jade purred, obviously lying. "You could just give up....Give me your weapons. Run away and live to fight another day"

She formed another long ice dagger in her hands, coming over slowly....

Suddenly a shot! Jade stumbled back as she was shot at, her ice pick shattering on the ground. instantly the woman whipped around, looking for who hit her in her now bloody arm.

Sarai had no clue who Jade was attacking (or if she was friend or foe) but she did know that she did NOT like Jade. Every moment she was alive meant her children were not safe , which gave her the motivation to ready another shot at the woman who had caused her family so much strife.

“Uh huh,” Yuki nodded vigorously. Then she frowned. “... my mom doesn't let me go on the tank though. She says its too dangerous... and my dad's not been around for a while because HA never posts you bum...”

Yuki frowned, looking down and shifting her feet nervously. She didn't know why her mind was suddenly going these places. She started to speak again, but jumped a little as she heard voices on the other side of the hangar.

[Freeside]

“Do you really think a grenade can- AUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!”

Edda's grenade exploded in front of Sire's face before he could do much about it and he screamed out in terrible pain as flames and shrapnel peppered his face. He could feel an intense burning coming from-

“MY EYEEEEEEEEEEEES!”

Sire screamed out in pain once more as he slammed his foot onto the ground. Blood covered his face and he was clearly severely injured – and losing his temper! The Earthbender let loose wildly, without control, and suddenly the ground was shaking – hard.

Sire had just started an earthquake! The truck bounced, the buildings shook, windows shattered, doors fell off their hinges!

Connor yelped as he fell to the ground, catching himself on his palms. “This is bad!”

[The Institute]

Rin was cold and limp in the hug. She had spent so many years trying to forget the past, trying to distance herself from the family she once had. After a moment, she reluctantly hugged her husband and sighed.

“I do too, Don.”

"Sire if you're going to knock us around at least kill who we came here for TOO!" Jade exclaimed, stumbling forward and whipping around to her partner. Her arm was still bleeding quite profusely from her new bullet wound but it didn't seem she was paying any attention to that. This couldn't fail. She had plans and NEEDED Kuvira's support for them.

The ground around Sarai shook as well, causing her to lose her own footing. She continued to clutch her weapon as tightly as she could, but now did so from the ground.

Chloe, who's strength gave her a least a bit more balance than the rest of them managed to keep her footing, though she wobbled dangerously with each step. She grabbed onto a nearby tree to stay up. "Guys we need to go!" she exclaimed, taking her own bow and arrow and moving from her spot just long enough to draw and arrow back and shoot it at Sire to hopefully get him to stop.

Sire was still throwing a tantrum, causing an Earthquake in the middle of the city streets. Gloria was scrambling on her feet, trying to flee – the truck full of weapons was shaking. She dashed towards the driver's seat, throwing open the door and jumping behind the wheel.

“We still need those weapons!” Connor yelled, frowning. He didn't want to fight Jade and Sire, but if they didn't get those weapons...

Unfortunately, during Sire's little Earthquake, one of the plasma grenades on the back of the truck fell from its perch and hit the floor – and set off.

A giant glowing explosion of plasma erupted from the truck, and as that plasma coated the other weapons and explosives, they all set off too! Suddenly the truck exploded, sending bullets and bombs flying in every direction!

Blake was about to answer Yuki when he heard his mother shout out, disappearing in a puff of shadows and reappearing next to Yuki.

“We're over here, Mom!” Blake yelled.

Soon Galv (and presumably Melanie) had appeared, Galv thinking “we” had referred to Blake and Samara, but hesitated when he saw another girl there about Blake's age.

“Oh! Blake... we're glad you're okay. Who's... your friend?” Galv wondered. He wasn't getting a feeling weird shadows from the girl, though for a brief moment he was worried Blake had summoned made a second imaginary friend.

-Freeside-

Edda stumbled but remained upright, gritting his teeth as Sire made the earthquake.

Paul fell flat on his butt though, shaking his head and looking a little dazed.

Then the truck exploded, Edda's eyes widening in shock.

“No!” Edda yelled, shaking his head.

-The Institute-

Gallic sighed, moving away from Rin now. “I should... get what I need. Tomorrow I'll head out.”
