Attack

[Elena]

Jadyn transformed into Izobel and stood up, walking over to Liam. "Yet you trust her. A girl who has been taking her uncle's orders for years. Who has stood by and watched countless mutants get hurt. The government has mutants on their side, just look at Ryder. So why don't any of you think of the possibility that maybe she's working for them too. Maybe this whole time you've been trusting her because your brother does, and lets face it, your brother only trusts her because she's got a hot bod, and she's been feeding back everything that goes on."

"And now I'm dead," said Jadyn, as she turned into Skylar. "Because Izobel 'slipped'. Don't you find it odd how the military would just dump a body without making sure she was dead? Don't you find it suspicious how we just happen to find her in the woods coming here all bloodied to 'warn us'?"

"I had suspicions from the start," added Jadyn as she turned into Owen, hoping to get some reaction out of Liam. "I told Mason, but nobody listened to me. I said we shouldn't trust a strange girl, but your brother fell right for her charm. Just be careful Liam, because the next time Izobel 'slips', it may just be me," She turned into Elena. "Or me," After giving him a sad look with Elena's bright blue eyes she morphed into Mason. "who dies."

[Liam/Mason]

"Cut the act," Liam said angrily, grabbing the bars and attempting to get into Jadyn's face. "It was very touching, the entire act. Really touching, but it won't work because I trust her Jadyn. Elena's read her mind, i've read her mind. We saw what she went through, you didn't. She tried so hard to keep us a secret, and I appreciate that. She doesn't want to follow in her family's foosteps. She wants to help us because she is one of us. She knows what they do to mutants and she doesn't want to see it happen to us."

Liam had been shaken to the core when he saw 'Skylar' talking to him. Even more so when Elena and Mason appeared. He didn't want either of them to get hurt, but he trusted Izobel. Izobel would take care of his brother. She'd make sure Mason survived, even if Liam didn't. "I don't want to leave you here, please believe that. I just can't have you turning into different people, tricking me, killing Izobel. There's too much at stake already."

[Elena]

"I believe that as much as I believe you didn't want to kill Owen. But no matter, I'll see you one day and that day I hope I can watch as one of your loved ones die." Jadyn's face turned from playful to serious. "Run along, go play house with your girlfriend, you never know how long she'll be around for."

Izobel took hold of Maci, the medic's, hand as she stood up for the first time in almost a month. Her legs were weak, which made her grip onto Maci tightly as her legs gave way. Maci caught her, stifling a snicker. "It will take a little time for your legs to gain their strength back, but you're good as new otherwise."

[Liam/Mason]

Jadyn's last threat drove Liam over the edge. "What did you just say?" he whispered, narrowing his eyes. Liam borrowed Erik's power and made Jadyn feel as though she was being stabbed by a thousand knives. He increased the pain, making it feel like Jadyn's head was being dipped in molten lava. Finally, Liam regained composure and released Jadyn from his hold. "Watch your mouth," he warned, leaving the room.

Mason watched with joy as Izobel stood for the first time in months. "I'll help her. We'll take some romantic strolls down by the water to regain leg strength," he chuckled. Mason took Maci's place, and wrapped his arm around Izobel's waist to guide her. He'd waited so long to see her awake and healthy.

[Elena]

A small smirk flashed across Jadyn's lips as Liam walked away. She had a major headache from what he did, but to her it was all worth it because she pissed off Liam. She would make him as miserable as possible. Izobel wasn't her first target anymore. Yes she had been close with Skylar, but Owen was her flesh and blood, he was her family, her only family. If it was the last thing she did, she would take Liam's family from him.

"Romantic stroll? I have to admit I missed the obvious flirting." Izobel said with a laugh. She held onto Mason tightly, even though without his superhuman strength he'd still be able to hold her weight easily, especially since she had lost a lot of weight over the past few weeks.

[Liam/Mason]

"It's only gonna get more frequent and more obvious," he smiled, walking her around the room and then leading her back to her bed. "Sleepy yet, my little flower? You're such a light weight! It's like i'm holding a little baby or a little kitten.....except you're hot."

Liam spent the next few days watching over his brother and Elena. He was becoming more and more paranoid. He barely let them leave his sights. He never told anyone what Jadyn had said or the threats she'd made. He knew that Erik would kill Jadyn if Liam asked nicely, but Liam still cared about Jadyn, somewhat.

[Elena]

"I'm guessing that was a compliment," said Izobel with a chuckle. "And 'little flower', call me that again and I may have to smack you." It was all play talk of course because even if she did smack him, it would do little damage, if any at all. He'd probably just comment on how he didn't feel a thing. A few more days and she was walking better, but couldn't walk long distances without help. Elena noticed Liam being more clingy towards them, but she figured he just wanted to leave the site.

[Liam/Mason]

Mason brought Izobel some dinner and sat down to keep her entertained while she ate. They didn't have tvs in the medical room, so Mason decided to explain some moves to Izobel. "First we'll start with fighting. Lets say you get stuck with one of those serum things. You have no powers, right? We'll kick the guy in the crotch and he'll fall! Or, punch him in the throat, or shove your palm up towards his nose and break it."

"Now, lets move on to lovin' moves. Missionaries good, but freaky's where it's at! On a plane, in the ocean, backwards, sideways, whatever you can think of! It's difficult to give you tips because clearly we have different body parts. I think you catch my drift though," he smirked. "Geez, I don't know what else to talk about. Fighting and love making are all I know how to do."

Liam had walked in during the love making conversation, and he immediatly turned back around and walked out. He found Elena out and about and warned her not to go into the med room. "My brother....he....just don't go in there. I feel bad for Izobel."

[Elena]

When Mason turned the conversation to love making Izobel almost spat out her food from laughing. "Best place has got to be a jacuzzi. It's so nice and warm in those." She was just as odd as Mason was so his conversations just entertained her.

"Good call, though it seems Izobel is liking it. Let's just say, don't snoop in her mind." Elena smirked. Izobel was having a few dirty thoughts about his brother that she was sure Liam would not want to see.

Meanwhile down in the cells, Alan was bringing Jadyn her dinner. He sat it down on the floor before noticing Jadyn slumped over in a sitting position in a corner. "Hey you okay?" He asked. When he got no response he walked closer until he was kneeling beside Jadyn. He shook her once to see if she would wake up when suddenly she reached out, grabbed his head, and twisted it really hard, snapping his neck. He fell to the ground dead before he could utter a scream. Then she turned into Alan, switched clothes, and took the tray of food.

She walked out, looking like Alan and passed by a guard. "Stupid bitch didn't want her food," she said, rolling her eyes. She then hid in a room where there were some girl clothes. She changed into Maci and got dressed again. When she was finished she walked out of the room and through the place to the front door. Right as she was about to leave she could hear a guard shouting for Erik. A small smirk crossed her lips as she walked passed the guards and out of the building. She walked into the woods and made sure nobody would see her before she took off at a run.

"Erik! Erik the shapeshifter escaped! She killed Alan!" One guard said as he ran into Erik's office.

[Liam/Mason]

Liam closed his eyes and tried not to listen to their thoughts. Some images slipped through and Liam almost wanted to puke. Hearing their thoughts made him think of Elena in the bedroom. His thoughts only lasted a moment before he distracted himself with something else. He hoped that she hadn't seen anything. "I....uhh...have to go, I think."

Just as Liam was walking away, Erik ran from his office and pulled Liam to the side. "Jadyn's escaped. She killed my guard. Maybe you should stay here for a while. There's safety in numbers, ya know?" Liam couldn't help but agree, especially after Jadyn's threats. "You'd let us stay here? Thank you. I'll tell the others."

[Elena]

A few mutants were sent out to look through the woods for Jadyn, but by then she was long gone. She wandered through town as an attractive blonde until she entered a bar. She got a few guys to buy her drinks and celebrated her freedom. She would wait until morning before going through with her plan. She would walk into the institute with a letter detailing where to find Erik's hideout and a few of the mutant's powers and she would walk out, them being none the wiser of who gave them the note.

Elena didn't need anyone to tell her what was going on, every mutant in the building was thinking about Jadyn's escape. She knew that Mason would be pissed as well as worried for Izobel and Liam. She tried to sort through the people's minds and find Jadyn, but she wasn't among the group.

[Liam/Mason]

Not even three days later, the hideout was stormed by heavily armed guards working for the facility. They weren't there to capture mutants. Their bullets were real and they were looking to kill. The rebels were more trouble than they were worth. Only a few would be taken alive back to the facility.

At the moment, Liam and Erik were trying to hold off the guards from entering the back part of the building. The mutants were trying to escape through some underground tunnels. Liam and Erik seemed to be winning, when an old face stepped through the door. It was Hunter, but he didn't look like himself at all. He looked like a cyborg, half man, half robot. Hunter shot a stream of electricity at Erik, nearly hitting him. Liam stood up and shot a lightning bolt back at Hunter. "Plan Erik?"

[Elena]

Izobel and Elena stayed to fight in the battle, though Liam multiple times told Elena to run. No bullets got close to either of the girls seeing as they just deflected them when they got close. To Izobel, this was payback time. The guards had helped with the torturing so instead of letting the bullets fall to the ground like Elena, she shot them right back at the guards, wounding some, but killing others.

Meanwhile, the general, Ryder, two guards, and a girl were riding in a limo towards the warehouse. The general was going to see if he could round up any mutants to his side. "Ryder, I want you to try and round up any of the wounded, see if you can persuade them to join, if not shoot them. As for you Syrena, I want you to go for the strong men. Something tells me Erik and Liam will still be there fighting. Try to at least distract them so we can take them down. They won't join us so I need them out of my hair." He watched as the girl nodded in agreement.

By the time they got to the warehouse, the fighting was basically over. Most of the mutants were either injured, dead, or had run away. Very few were still fighting.

[Liam/Mason]

Once the fighting slowed, Liam and Erik fell back and let some of the younger mutants finish off the scraps. They needed the training and the boys needed a break. "That won't be the last of them. We need to gather everyone who's still here and go to the tunnels," Erik explained, wiping the sweat from his brow. Liam agreed fully, but he wouldn't leave without his girls. His brother Mason had been assigned to lead everyone out and take them to a new place. He was already safe.

"Sir! Another car just pulled up outside! A limo!" a young lady who'd been keeping a look out for reinforcements. "Thank you Ash. Please leave with the rest now. We'll take care of these people....whoever they are." Erik and Liam stepped forward and waited for someone to walk through the main entrance.

[Elena]

Izobel left, but Elena refused to leave, no matter how much Liam begged. She was helping the wounded when the lookout said a limo had pulled up. She read the minds of the people in the car and walked over to Liam and Erik. "It's the general. He's here with Ryder and someone else, a girl. He wants to recruit." She told them softly.

Just then the General walked around the corner with a grin on his face. "No surprise seeing you two still alive and standing. Though I must say, did not expect so many of your wounded. Guess you mutants are slipping." He said as he glanced at a few dead bodies. "I came here to offer a spot on my team to any who wish to accept it. Why fight against me and die, right?"

Syrena had been told to stay back until the General ushered her in. She was his secret weapon and he wanted to see if any would join the old fashion way.
