Freak Out 2 ...the Freak inside ((open RP))
"Show off!" Wild called after Ed. Although she had a portal exactly the same. The time travellers, as Ed had called them, were not stupid enough to give villians a direct link to Paragon city.
Wild stood there arms crossed and impatiently tapping her foot, waiting for Molly. The fight she was looking forward too. It was the enevitable warrant for her arrest she was dreading.

((Would have posted this last night, but the router let me down at the last minute. >.>)
Molly smirked as she carefully lowered her rifle until she thought it safe to continue. One she felt it was, Molly then drew a tiny object not unlike a screwdriver from behind her belt. The 'screwdriver' didn't actually seem like a screwdriver at first, the end of it being completely cylindrical at first glance. However, just mere seconds after Molly had brandished it, it quickly and near-silently morphed into the necessary shape to allow her to remove the screws from her mediport device.
"Just gimme a minute to work my magic on this," Molly requested as she took apart the device at her own pace "And we'll be in Galaxy faster than you can say 'beam me up, Scotty!'"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Wild Red pulled her mask back over her face. "Beam me up Scotty!" She said sarcastically.

"The doctor will see you know, Ms Bromovich." A portly Caribbean nurse put down a clipboard at the end of the bed and let the doctor through.
"So, Ms Bromovich. What an honour this is." He smiled and Kata, in her mind, smiled back. With painkillers though it was only guesswork.
"It seems your lifestyle choices have caught up with you. Dear, dear. Well, thankfully your employers offer top dollar treatment."
Kata noticed the doctor was holding a black portfolio, with a lot of gold leaf filigree edging. The American Eagle sat produly in the middle and she could smell the leather binding from where she lay.
"It turns out that we may have an interesting and, dare I say exciting, new technology that should get you back up to full health in a very short time."
The doctor proceeded to discuss Kata's options: The bullet to the shoulder had severely damaged her collarbone. It was somewhat of a mystery as to why she had not suffered total paralysis...
"Total?" Kata's eyes flicked open fully and she had the look of a lone wolf.
The doctor, a little unsympathetically in Kata's opinion, chuckled, "But of course, you have been out for the count for some time."
"Some time? It's only been a few hours. Doctor, I need a little more time and rest."
Then the doctor took on a sinister tone which shocked Kata into silence, "Young lady, your superiors were most adamant that you hear this proposal straight away. They are not prepared to waste time if you are not willing to cooperate. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, Ms Bromovich."
But before Kata had the chance to reply, the chance to voice her concerns over the treatment the doctor had implied, an intercom burst into life:
"Code Gunmetal! Freakshow Intruders. Shutting down non-meta wards!"
...
Tim shruged, "oh well.. at least now Ed has given me yet another headache.." he muttered as he stepped away from the portal.
Tapping a button on his limiter band, he suddenly blured out of sight. Moments later blurring back into view at the hospital front door, giving the doctors and nurses there quite a shock with his suddenly appearance.
Molly had just finished piecing the Mediport device and was ready to set it away, but first:
"Okay," Molly said to Wild with a slight smile. "Brace yourself, it's gonna be a bit of a rough ride!"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Molly and Wild disappeared in a flash of light. A few seconds later they re-appeared in the medibay in Galaxy city hospital. Molly and Wild were squashed together as the medibays are only made for a single person. Wild fell out of the bay trying to put some space between herself and the gun toting hero.

"Now I am all alone again, I would like the opportunity to scrutinise this place more throughly, but I think the hospital will need my help more.", silently through dark wisps of smoke the black armoured figure disappears ((teleport)).
Jennifer Roberts aka Physic, a nurse at the Cygnus facility hears the alarm going off, "oh damn, and I thought I was going to have a quiet night tonight. Now where did I put my costume.
(( ok this is to sort out hows where and when if im wrong shout now ))
From her room Kata could here the blast doors slamming shut .....
Standing in the entrance door way Tim could see the staff rushing to their stations as the alarm blasted out its warning , he could also see heavy metal doors sealing parts of the hospital .....and can hear the sound of incoming PPD cars ..
Psyhic is looking for a store cupboard to change in and working out which route will take her to the Medi -Ports .....
Ed is drawing odd stares as he tries to fold his wings so the rush hour train doors can close and the thing start moving....
And Molly and Wild are peering out , Wild from the floor ,of a Medi-Port looking at the wrong end of as large number of Freak held , guns , blades , claws , hammer , electro -prods and ...well best not to ask ....
Ed finally got off the train, "I hate rush-hour...there's one every minute and the trains are still cramped!"
With a burst of speed he headed to the hospital, Passing Tim on his way by, "gotta rush!"
He looked to the recepitionist and smiled, "where's the medi-porters, you've got Freakshow who've probably just teleported in through a hacked Medi-porter I really think they need to be dealth with quickly"

"Oh no!... Who's bright idea was it to teleport in?" Wild asked as she slowly stood up.

Molly rolled her eyes, her rifle at the ready for when something really hit the fan. The situation to most people would have seemed hopeless, but for Molly herself, one man's hopeless situation was this girl's next hurdle and right now, she was faced with something of a pretty high hurdle.
"Well, we could have gotten ahead of them if you hadn't gotten all 'I don't wanna go, mommy' on me." She answered Wild like this was a minor thing. Like taking a supposed shortcut to get to a wedding.
Eric, Molly, now she was out of the sewers, attempted to contact her butler once more. Can you hear me?
Miss Molly, are you alright? Are your injuries severe? Eric had picked up Molly's arrival at Cygnus, thanks to Longstaff WarTech's proprietary GPS systems and promptly assumed Molly was taken out of whatever fight she'd gotten herself into.
I'm fine, Eric, Molly answered. Actually... we got a problem. I need you to do a few things for me quick. First I want a small security team assembled and despatched to Cygnus Medical Center, Galaxy City immediately. Then I want you to inform Miss Romanenko and Miss Ledford to get here too. Got that? There was a brief pause before Eric responded.
All done, Miss Molly. Any further orders?
Molly smirked at the mob of Freaks facing her, ready to tear her as many new ones as she had room for. I could use a reload. The smirk widened as she felt her rifle get heavier from the fresh batch of bullets and grenedes materialising within the weapon.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"You know what lady! I have my reasons for not wanting to teleport right into the middle of a hero infested hospital. Anyway this is not the time to be arguing." Wild Red checked the stability of her injured leg. "Lets get this party started!" She grinned behind her mask. She siphioned the speed from the closest freak followed by boosting Molly's speed.

The harried hospital receptionist pointed Ed towards a blue flak-suit clad PPD officer , who was speaking rapidly into his radio ...
Molly and Wilds opening moves where meet with three Juicer-Freaks dropping Ball lighting upon them ,as a larger number of hurled spinning sawblades , SMG bursts and the shock waves from the Hammer-Freaks Hammer Claps hit them ....Yet over all the sound a clear demanding voice commanded ..Stop !..no one shoot ..just grab them ..we want that port cab ..
A green haze surrounded Wild after she had released another circle of radiation. She was seriously injured and the only reson she was still on her feet was all the health she kept pulling from the freaks. ((this would also affect Molly due to close proximity))
"Wait a sec..." Wild Red exclaimed after the voice's demands. She turned and aimed a blast over Molly's head and destroyed the med bay. " Attack the med bays. It will stop any injured person being teleported to a fight and it stops the freaks getting the technology." Wild continued to blast and siphon as she talked.

Tim blinked as he glanced about, noticing Ed rush by him.
"OH geez.. I was meant to get here before it all kicked off.. damn powers.." he muttered stamping his foot on the floor to make the stakes unfold out so he could move around quicker.
"Where to Ed?"
"On it!" Molly yelled as pink-clad genius swiftly took aim at the med bay just ahead of the one they entered the hospital through. "You might wanna take cover, though!"
Molly pulled a trigger, making the first movements to push herself back toward the bay they entered from. The rifle let out a short whine once more, and the MediCom teleporter was soon torn apart by the full force of a grenade that also served to shower several of the Freak scum with shrapnel. Molly herself took a crazy risk in doing so, but part of the plan worked: she got out of the way just before the grenade hit home. With any luck she took out a few of the Freaks in the process.

Molly's shot brought a instant reply .. the crowd of Freaks parted as a massive Tank-Freak moved in, ....
his face was a grim mask of metal , and from the eye holes came blood red flames , which Molly and Wild noticed look worryingly like the demon fires Ed's eyes burned with.. ...
the torso armour glowed with runes of power cut into it , but it was the fists that Molly focused on as they came together and sent a massive blast of Dark energy at her ,...
at the same time the tube that would be a grenade launcher on a standard Tank Freak moved and spat a black egg at Wild ....From the cold iron face came a command to the other Freaks ... waste them NOW !
And the room became filled with ballistic hate aimed at the two women .....
"So, Ms Bromovich, do we have a deal?"
The doctor sat at the foot of the bed, watching Kata carefully. Although this area had been shut down, thick iron grilles covering heavy oak doors, reinforced with who-knew-what had appeared at every door to the private wards.
Kata, stifling the pain, had managed to move from her bed to a tall cabinet by the window and was propping herself against it trying to get a good look at the street below.
"Ms Bromovich, stalling at a time like this is surely not a wise tactic."
"I said no. I'm not owing my life to anyone."
"But you work for the US government. Surely you owe your life to them simply by joining their ranks? And-" The doctor paused to push his spectacles back up his face, "who knows when the full paralysis will take hold?"
Kata cursed in Russian. She felt all the bullets at once; all the times she had been lucky and the times she had been hit. So, according to this idiot, this pawn of her employers, she could be totally paralysed in three months.
"I need to make a call."
"At a time like this? Really, Ms-"
"Can it! I need to make a call to an old friend. He will give me the advice I really need."
The doctor studied Kata and chuckled to himself. Reaching inside his jacket, he pulled out a mobile phone, dialled a number and handed it to the woman.
Kata checked the number. "How did you-?" The call was answered...
"No F*****G way!" Wild said when she saw the demonic flames. She tried to siphon the huge tanks speed, at the same time as destoying the Medi bays. It was the destruction of the medi bays that had brought him out. She ran around the room at lightning speeds. Knocking over equipment, firing shots off into the remaining Med bays and hoping one of the Freaks didn't have anything that could target her.
"Why did I get out of bed this morning? I didn't! I was stuck in a sewer surrounded by damn do-gooding HERO'S! I have had enough!" Wild got angrier by the second, she ranted uncontrollably as she destroyed the room.

The tumbling egg burst dropping a shower of small black seed like objects over Wild , each seed seem to spilt and grow into a tentacle , the swarm surrounding Wild and latching on to her body with a grip powered by Shad00ws dark magic ..braking from hyped speed to a stand still Wild felt her teeth rattle as the declaration shock raged across her body.... four , cyber-claw armed Freaks fell upon her trapped form .....
Tim stopped dead for a moment, his eyes behind his goggles of his helmet seem to glaze over. To him only could he see the events unfold in the medi-bay, and the route to take to get there.
Suddenly he snapped out of it, and reached towards Ed, "Ed dash time, others in trouble.. medi bay.. shadoow.. tank.. bullets.. pain.. come, now quick." he stuttered and hurrily said as he staked off away from Ed, towards where the medi bay was as fast as he could without using his powers.
"Uh-oh!" Molly scarpered away from the path of the dark blast, but still found herself knocked off her feet when it managed to hit her leg, forcing her to faceplant fast.
"Oh, that is so not fair..." she muttered before eventually pulling herself back up, doing her utmost best to ignore the exacerbate aches coming from her prior wound. Once on her feet, she quickly cloaked, grabbing her rifle as she did before setting her boots into maximum burn to get around the monster as quickly as possible.
Once she got behind the thing, she took aim once more, commanding the rifle to load a snipe round into the barrel.

Max: "Me too."

Smiled, "some of us are entrusted with other means of getting around places quickly..."
He tapped the buttons on his metal arm, "thank you time travellers..." he muttered to himself as the Oroborus portal illuminated the room in its golden glow.
"See you there in a flash..."
Ed disappeared through the portal, transfering through the main Oroborous portal and appearing in Atlas park, "Hello Atlas Park!" he chuckled, "always wanted to do that" with his legs blurred as he dashed off at high speed towards the train station...thankfully those trains were on time and quick too...
