xp_logsThe team evacuates out with their target and a whole lot more information than they had before.
The spotlights and squads of soldiers were starting to close in as they started to regroup outside of an abandoned Costco parking lot. Kane flicked blood from his temple, trying to keep his vision clear as he and Molly trotted up.
"Please tell me we're getting out here and not just stopping in for a cheap hotdog."
"One portal, ready to go," Clarice agreed, opening it up, "But a hot dog later sounds good."
"Yes please," Molly said, keeping an eye out just in case anyone decided to close in on their hiding spot.
Sooraya turned to Jenn, her smile fully hitting her eyes for the first time on this mission even as her eyes continued to scan their surroundings "Only a few more minutes till you can get a shower and some clean clothes. Plus a real bed to sleep in."
Darcy was quiet as she limped up to the group, one arm slung around Nica's waist for support. "And then we'll figure out where you're going from there," she rasped out, leaning heavily on Nica as they came to a stop. There was a particularly nasty set of scrapes and tears along the shoulders and throat of her jacket, zipper undone and throat already showing signs of bruising. A gash along her abdomen and hip was still oozing blood, leaving a wet sheen to the dark pants she'd chosen. "But Medical all around first, I think."
Thanks to her powers, Nica was physically unhurt, but she was quiet and withdrawn, face troubled. But she braced herself beneath Dary's weight, focussing on the here and now. "Let's book," she agreed.
"Darcy, you've got a date with me immediately following this," Clarice stated, "I just need time to clean up enough to not be a walking biohazard."
Darcy shot Clarice a wink and a weak grin. "Pretty sure getting me naked and in bed is third date material," she teased before grimacing. Her hands waved at the portal. "Everybody through, chop chop."
