Bella hadn't seen Demetria walk in. She hadn't expected anyone to be here other than herself. The others weren't much for training as far as she saw. Well, that wasn't true. Evelina surely used the room. Perhaps Bobbi, when she found the time. "Sure." Simple response, but she was bored and had nothing planned as of right now. She could use the activity. Plus, it would make for some interesting training, considering she had never fought against the woman before.

She walked back to the center of the room and spun to face her. "So, powers or no? I'm good with whatever you prefer but know I won't hold back just because we are on a team. Need to make sure if you have my back in a combat scenario that you can hold your own." She had no doubt the woman could, but if one limited their combat prowess to only using their mutant abilities, that made them weak. You needed to know what to do in case you couldn't use your powers or only had your hands.

She waited for her response, but she was ready to face her whenever she wanted. This was going to be fun, at least.

The Library
The room was entirely silent, Wesley at this point would only be able to hear his own breathing, before a voice spoke behind him. "You know it is rude to eavesdrop on a conversation," her voice said, and if he turned around he would see Gardner standing right behind him, smirking slightly. "Honestly, I didn't detect your presence here, and that was a simple mistake that could cause some major problems for me, so apologies, but I can't exactly allow you to let the others know what you heard."

With that, she headed out the door and walked out of it, the door swing shut behind her, and there was the sound of something locking. The shelves around him started to rattle and shake. Books started falling off of shelves as the walls of the room started moving closer almost. If Wesley didn't do something, odds were that he was going to end up getting crushed to death.

The Library - Again
Wesley is unable to see or hear this portion, all he'll be able to see and hear is what is in the section above.

Gardner had never actually moved from where she had been when Wesley had moved closer to try and eavesdrop on the conversation. She smirked slightly before calling someone on her phone once again. "I take back what I said about them not knowing what we were up to, one of them was eavesdropping on our phone conversation. Don't worry, I'm dealing with the idiot now."

"Good, you know that she would have been furious if you weren't able to handle it." her sister's voice responded on the other end of the line.

"I know all too well, however it seems that they are getting closer to figuring things out than we realized. Think you might be able to rush things just a little bit with the device?"

"Things are going as fast as possible, a few more tests to check and see if the systems are working correctly then we can actually do a test run of the thing. In the meantime however, I would suggest stalling them, and make sure they know not to underestimate the power of Lady Mastermind."

"Well of course, just let me know if you run into any problems on your end for whatever reason." she said before hanging up. Gardner took one last look at Wesley with a slight smirk, before leaving the room, figuring it was probably best to see about slowing down anyone else she feels could potentially pose as a problem.

The Lab
Note only Watts is able to see and hear this. Evelyn won't be able to see or hear anything out of the ordinary.

The room was still fairly silent for the most part. That is until there was the sound of a chair behind in another part of the room, and then there was a voice, and if Watts turned to look, he'd be able to see the source of the voice. "So, you think there is a chance I'm actually still alive? Really Watts, it is kind of hard to survive an explosion, even if I somehow managed to pull that off, which I kind of doubt it, that was well over a month ago. If for some strange reason I did survive, whose to say I'm not dead anyway?" He was leaning back in a chair, and was munching somewhat on a cupcake.

Bobbi
Still nothing special for her, she's up on the roof by herself, and no one has joined her there yet.

"Eh, I'm for anything goes, powers are allowed and you can essentially attack however you want, though keep in mind we aren't going for killing each other, that wouldn't be any fun. Serious injuries and what not should be fine though for the most part. So, let's see about getting started then?" she said with a smirk, before she took a few steps away from her, this was definitely going to be an interesting experience for her.

"Don't worry too much about me being able to hold my own, I can do fairly well even if I didn't use my powers. However I do understand the thought of needing to know if I can watch your back, I tend to question whether most people here would be able to watch mine. Though I will say you did fairly well against Quicksilver, so now we'll see what happens."

Location: Serval Industries - R&D Lab
Skills: Perception
"Anything his camera recorded was synced to the server and the majority seems to have been hastily deleted," Watts informed Evelyn bluntly. "However, I was able to recover something that would point to the motive..." His eyes darted around the room rapidly, checking to ensure that they were alone. He didn't know if they were being watched so he gave Evelyn a kiss on the cheek, hovering his lips by her ear as he whispered to her his thoughts. "Andrew discovered a device that would allow you to switch consciousnesses - to switch bodies and retain any abilities along the way... Gardner is planning something, something she was willing to ensure his silence over."

As he pulled away, something confusing then happened. Andrew, the cupcake eater, was sitting back in his chair enjoying a tasty snack. Picking up a wrench, Watts flung it at Andrew. If he just a hallucination, then the wrench should just go right on through him - and if he was really there? Well, he imagined Andrew might be annoyed at him but that hardly even registered to him.

When Watts threw the wrench, it slammed into Andrew, hitting him in the face. "Ow! What the hell was that for?" he asked, holding his free hand to his nose that appeared to be bleeding. However, to Evelyn, the wrench wouldn't hit anything, instead it would clatter to the ground after Watts threw it.

"... You should learn how to dodge," Watts told Andrew coldly. "And clearly, you aren't a ghost, Casper. So your idiotic rambling about not surviving an explosion has logical fallacies that even you could follow... Now, tell me the nature of what happened to you instantly and don't spare any details, no matter what. It may not seem important to you - in fact, I doubt you realize the gravity of this situation - but your life is in danger."

Evelyn wasn't an expert on technology, but she was still pretty sure they could try and take something off of the helmet even if information on their server it was linked to was deleted. "It's still a worth looking over anyway." Evelyn said, as Watts took a step closer to her she blushed slightly, though she didn't show it right now when he kissed her on the cheek. Though the information Watts told her was also pretty interesting, and maybe why they needed the splicer in the first place as well. "Well it looks like we will have to sneak into her office, or track her movements." Evelyn whispered back to Watts before taking a step backwards.

Then Watts picked up a wrench and threw it across the room, looking over at him with a slightly confused look though she wasn't seeing anything at all. Right now she was just thinking it was a lot of stress that had happened the last month and dealing with the loss of Andrew, looking back at Watts. "So, throwing a wrench would be a good way to test a theory that the ghost of Andrew is here?" Evelyn asked, even if Andrew was alive, they would have had some kind of sign that he wasn't dead by now other than recovering his helmet.

Location: Serval Industries - Rooftop --> Kitchen --> Training Room
Skills:


Bobbi finished her cigarette and dropped it to join the little pile of butts in an old coffee can. She was sure to stab it out, she didn't want to burn down the building after all. She gulped down the last of her coffee and dumped the one that had been for Andrew over the side of roof. Into an alley below, not quite caring if it spilled onto someone. Probably deserved it if they worked at Serval.

She went back down the stairs and into the warmth. Her fingers stung as blood began to flow properly through them again. In the kitchen she washed her mugs right away, taking care to clean up any mess she had left behind. She very nearly fell into a cleaning trance again but snapped herself out of it. She had wanted to fight and better herself, not clean. She made her way toward the training facilities, hoping Wesley would be there. She wasn't in the mood to hunt him down.






Location: Serval Industries - Library --> Ceiling
Skills: Enhanced Strength and Military Training


Wesley hissed with surprise as the woman appeared behind him. Her voice caused him to spin around. He was ready to sputter out some sort of statement that he had not been eaves dropping. But she had caught him quite obviously and she left him no time to defend himself. He tensed at her statement. How was she planning on making him disappear when there were others who knew his whereabouts. He frowned as the room started to shake. Books fell from the shelves and knocked into him, bruising flesh. Was it just him or was the room getting smaller?

He breathed in counts of three to calm the nerves which were unraveling. Once he had found himself to be steady enough to handle the task at hand, he began to search the room. He knocked on walls, looking for weak points and searched for vents through which his bulk might fit. He even tried the door just in case but found it tightly locked. The room was becoming less and less roomy.

He glanced up at the ceiling and could have smacked himself upside the head. The ceiling was tiled. He climbed a nearby bookcase. At first he had trouble - perhaps his excitement causing him to misstep. He slipped part way up, falling painfully onto his back. He groaned as a book smashed into his face to seal the deal. He rubbed his forehead before trying again. With speed and more alacrity than he had shown before he managed to scale the bookcase. Once atop, he moved the tile aside and lifted himself carefully into the ceiling. With even greater care he moved, making his way toward the lab.

Respecting the woman's words, Bella took her position and waited until she felt Sapphire was ready. Once they were settled, Bella sprung forward quickly. She spun and kicked at the woman's chest, planting her foot and sent the girl stumbling backward a bit. Bella had intended to knock her to the ground, but no such luck. So once she landed Bella dropped and swept her leg, hitting the woman's legs and sending her to the mat below.

Bella stood up and stepped backward. "Is mind reading one of your powers then? I'd like to see how you handle without your powers preferably. They can be a handicap if you rely on them too much, not that I doubt your abilities. But anything goes, as we stated." Bella took to her fighting stance, ready to face off against the woman in front of her. She hadn't even considered anyone else in the room now.

The Lab
Remember only Watts can see and hear the hallucination.

"I don't think she can see me Watts," Andrew said, and suddenly he wasn't where he had been before when he had gotten hit by the wrench. Instead he was standing off to the side, leaning against a table, and there wasn't any sign that he had been injured at all. "So, you want to know what happened huh? Well, it's a bit of a long story, so let's see, oh right, the explosion! So everything went kaboom and I completely blacked out so not sure what happened after that. Oh, yeah, I am alive, but guess what? This version of me you see right now? It's a hallucination created by Gardner, or well, more of Regan Wyngarde, that's her actual name by the way in case you care... Uhh... Oh that weird device thing that you two mentioned, guess what, apparently when the Brotherhood attacked here they literally destroyed the only copy of the plans for it, so that's something too, not really sure what else to tell you... Oh, wait, there is one more thing you should know. Odds are I'm not going to be alive much longer, just saying you have probably a few hours tops before I do end up actually dead dead... Now, the question remains of whether or not you believe what I'm saying or not."

Wesley would manage to make his way through the ceiling and such down to the lab, however, a slight problem would pop up once he was right above the lab. Namely, the fact that Wesley isn't the smallest person around and weighs over 200 pounds. Watts and Evelyn would hear a cracking sound coming from somewhere above them, before there was a loud crash as Wesley went falling through the ceiling and landed right next to them.

"...Well that was a bit unexpected, weird things are going on around here clearly."

"Who said anything about relying on them all the time?" she asked with a slight laugh, even when Belladonna knocked her to the ground. She ended up using that to her advantage, using the momentum from hitting the ground in combination with her powers to almost slide more then anything onto the ground and slam her foot into Bella's knee, knocking her to the floor as well, before she jumped up onto her feet again.

"Though I definitely can say that using them to enhance your combat can definitely be more then a little bit helpful." With those last words, Sapphire created what looked almost like a full staff of solid ice. "Like for instance my powers are good at crafting weapons of any sort, in a pinch of course," she said with a slight smile now. "Anyway, let's see what else you've got, it's no fun if this sparring match ends so quickly," Sapphire continued, stepping back slightly to allow Belladonna to stand up again, and she stood ready for her next attack.

"Yes, when doubting whether or not something is truly there, contact with a physical object is always a good method to proceed by," Watts agreed. Of course, to him it seemed that Andrew was there and that he had caught the wrench, while Evelyn saw the reality of the situation - that the wrench had just harmlessly clattered to the floor. Andrew had reappeared elsewhere in the laboratory. It had become apparent to him that this was just a hallucination - perhaps triggered by overuse of the speed serum, stress, mental instability, or as Watts' subconscious appeared to believe... the work of "Regan Wyngarde." He supposed it would not be too much of a stretch for his hallucination to be right, as this "Andrew" was entirely inside of his own mind and Watts was never wrong.

If his hallucination was telling him these things, then there was a decent chance that they were true. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as Wesley fell through the ceiling. "What the HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY LAB?!" he screamed. He grabbed the nearest thing to him - a small, cheap scientific calculator - and he threw it in rage at Wesley. The calculator hit his intended target in the head and Watts was seeing red. They were running out of time and one of the morons had to find a way to fall through the ceiling of his beloved lab! He was surrounded by imbeciles - a vein in his forehead was throbbing slightly at the indignity of this situation.

"Nightingale, we have a few hours to meet our objective - we should go, now," he then added in a strained voice to Evelyn.

Evelyn just stared at Watts as he gave her his explanation of throwing objects at people who weren't even there, she was willing to believe that Watts was actually right, as far as she knew Andrew could still be alive somehow. As she leaned herself up against the table, then she looked up at the ceiling as she noticed some plaster falling onto the ground of the lab. And then a loud crash as more parts of the ceiling came falling down, revealing that it was Wesley who had somehow managed to get himself up into the ceiling. She wasn't sure at all why he was even up there in the first place.

Then Watts decided to throw a calculator at Wesley's head, which did make her smirk and shook her head slightly at it, but she still did wonder if he was spying on them or something like that. When Watts addressed her again turning to look up at him they had some timeline to but they didn't know where she was. "Do you know where we even need to go?" Evelyn asked Watts as she offered a hand to help Wesley back up to his feet. "Why were you up in the ceiling in the first place?" Evelyn asked him.

When Bobbi entered it was not to find Wes. Instead, there was the Ice Queen and Mini Ice Queen having a bit of a spar. Silently, she closed the door behind her and moved along the walls as she watched them. It was not that she was trying to hide, just that she did not want to break their concentration. She seemed to have happened upon the tail end of a match. She raised an eyebrow as Demetria formed an ice weapon in her hand.

Crossing her arms over her chest she glanced at Belladonna, who lay on the floor. Would she raise to the challenge? Bobbi was eager to see them fight, both were skilled - which Bobbi was not. She just flailed punches and threw her weight around. Not that there was much to throw around. Anything she could glean to make her a better person... Well, a better fighter. She could never claim to be a better person.

He had not anticipated a fall. He could feel the ceiling starting to give way and he had intended to do something about the fall. However, gravity and ill luck saw him falling in a heap of tiling and dust upon the floor. He groaned, pushing himself up and rubbing his stomach as he worked to catch his breath. A sudden, painful thunk against his skull had him rubbing his nogging and looking up at the ceiling first. Had something fallen on him? He looked to his side. Calculator. Her pursed his lips in confusion and looked up past the calculator to find Watts.

"You need anger management courses," was his dark, mumbled response. He smiled gratefully at Evelyn but waved away her hand. "Thank you, very kind of you. But I wouldn't make any lady touch all this dirt." He stood on his own, dusting off his front and hair as he did so. He then looked between the two. "I just came from the Library. Gardner was there and I overheard her speaking with someone. It wasn't good... She tried to crush me inside the room. Do you think you can hack her phone? See to whom she was speaking?"

Belladonna

Skills: Elemental Imbuement, Sword Combat


Bella had expected a fight back, so being knocked to the ground wasn't new. Hell, in her time training she had been punched, kicked, slapped, cut, bruised, and beaten. It would take a lot more to get her to ever react. Still, Sapphire used her powers to her advantage and Bella would give her that. Still, she had hoped the woman wouldn't use them right away.

Bella sprang up quickly. "I wanted to see how you handled yourself without needing to use them. It's not a weakness to use what you have at your disposal, but if there comes a time you are unable to use them, it is important to know how to handle yourself in a fight. But if you insist." She attempted to imbue her sword with fire. It didn't start up at first, but she got it lit before taking a stance. Instantly, she was on Sapphire, slashing at the woman's ice weapon. She didn't want to severely hurt her, this was training after all, but she wanted to disarm her.

The weapon broke in half, with part of it melting into a puddle. The other part she held on to, but Bella quickly spun and kicked her to the ground. She was on top of her, holding the sword close to her neck, but not close enough the fire would hurt. "You are skilled. There is no doubt." After, she got up and put her sword away, holding out a hand to help her up.

The Lab
Watts' hallucination didn't seem to be going away any time soon. As "Andrew" started messing with a few things sitting on the table, looking more then a little bit bored when it came to what the group was talking about. "I honestly thought it was obvious that you needed anger management issues... Anyway my bet is she was probably on the phone with her equally demented sister, but that's just me. Though I am more then a little surprised that you actually believe a word I say, or is that just your massive ego thinking that since I exist only in your mind and you think that means that I'm telling you the truth. You honestly really need to learn that you aren't always right. Anyway Wesley over there is lucky that he isn't dead. Since I am 100% certain that Gardner truly wanted him dead, like, as in if she goes back into the library and doesn't fine his corpse there are going to be some major issues."



Demetria Clarke

"Unlike some people around here I didn't get taught to fight, I taught myself how to fight back. Though I will say that if I wasn't using my powers, my hair would have gone back to being brunette. Since I always have a slight chill of air around me for a reason, I hate the heat it is so annoying. Oh, and if you thought I'd cringe at a bit of flames, you are mistaken. I actually enjoy fire, despite not caring too much for the heat," she said, before she took Bella's hand and got up off the floor.

"You aren't too bad yourself, but then again, that isn't all that surprising. Though to be honest, you and Evelyn are probably the only people I trust here. Namely because you two have both proven yourselves more then capable of having my back if need be. Watts is too angry and a bit condescending, and the other two I haven't really seen in a fight, so I wouldn't know about them. To me you learn a lot about a person just by seeing how they handle themselves in a fight."

She was quiet then, when she saw that Bobbi had entered the room. Sapphire didn't really say much towards Bobbi, but took a few steps away from Bella, and the part of her ice staff that she still had disappeared in a puff of frosty white smoke. "So, you want to keep fighting or stop it now, your choice, no powers now if that's what you want. Might make things a bit more interesting if we don't use our powers, that I will give you."

John Watts


Location: Serval Industries - R&D Lab -> Gardner's Office
Skills: Superhuman Speed, Perception
"Yes," Watts told Evelyn without hesitation. He was not a detective, though perhaps in another lifetime, another world he would be a world class private eye. It seemed simple to him though - Gardner was behind all of this, likely holding Andrew captive, and she had already been shown to be careless enough as to leave critical plans in her office. Starting by canvasing the office was the best bet they had to find Andrew in time. His own brain was making sure to tell him that via the hallucination of Andrew - he had to be a bit disappointed that he wasn't hallucinating someone more impressive, such as Dr. Reed Richards.

He huffed, hearing Wesley request that he hack Gardner's phone. "While I would just love to do that for you, I have more pressing business to deal with!" he snapped. "Perhaps you should have considered needing my help before you fell THROUGH THE CEILING AND RUINED MY LAB!" he screamed. He didn't care that Wesley said he needed anger management courses. He would continue to yell and scream until the day when Serval finally sent him to HR and even then, it wouldn't change his ways. "Best of luck not being murdered - I recommend running if I were you. And now, Nightingale, we are leaving," he said firmly. He wasn't about to let Gardner see him talking with Wesley. He wasn't stupid - and despite what the hallucination said, Watts firmly believed he was always right.

Pressing the watch on his wrist, he injected himself with the speed serum and felt the power course through his veins. Putting on his suit rapidly, he picked up Evelyn bridal style and raced the two of them up to Gardner's office without any issue. He hated the idea of leaving Wesley in his lab alone and unattended, but there wasn't really time to do much else. He had briefly considered returning Wesley to the library so that he could be found in the rubble, only to decide against it. It seemed to cruel. He might as well give the boy a chance to escape.

Zipping around Gardner's office rapidly, Watts unfortunately didn't find anything relating to Andrew. He did find a letter addressed to someone named Madelyn and he noted that this Madelyn resided not too far from Serval's Headquarters. His eyes flickered over to Evelyn, hoping she had better luck - yet his intuition told him what he had found was significant enough.

Evelyn looked towards Wesley when he declined her to help him up, she rolled her eyes slightly the comment did sound a little bit sexist to her, she had gotten herself pretty dirty before. "You do know i'm not a delicate flower right? I did break both of Quicksilver's legs a month ago." She pointed out, Evelyn didn't like the news that Wesley had just told them, Gardner had just tried to kill him just by simply overhearing a conversation. "That's not good then.." Evelyn said looking over at Watts as he snapped at him, before taking his serum and then putting on his speed suit. She was about to say something else to Wesley before being picked up by Watts and carried off towards Gardner's office.

"You should probably be nicer to him, we are all on the same side after all." Evelyn said towards Watts letting out a sigh, as he searched around, she then went to opening every drawer, cabinet and whatever cubby door there was. Evelyn spotted a cabinet in the corner of the room that was covered in a stack of papers. She was surprised that there wasn't even a single lock on them, Gardner must either be really stupid or really overconfident. Evelyn found a file filled with maps, of some kind of underground facility, that didn't belong to Serval either as she gently set it down on Gardner's desk. She found another file mentioning the names of Yuriko Oyama, Martinique Wyngarde, someone known only as Spiral, and someone named Madelyn Pryor.

"Look at these." Evelyn said waving Watts over, gesturing to the files she had spread out. "Some names sound familiar, Yuriko has some kind of history with Wolverine, Martinique, her last name rings a bell as that is the same last name as a known associate of Magneto's known as Mastermind. Spiral has some run ins with the X-Men, though I don't know anyone that goes by the name Madelyn Pryor." Evelyn said looking over at Watts if he knew any of these names better than she did.

She chewed her thumb nail as she watched the impressive switch Bella pulled on Sapphire. That was pretty cool, actually. There seemed to be a lull in the fighting and from what the young mutant could tell, they might be finished sparring all together. She sucked her cheek between her teeth and frowned. She would have really like to have seen more.

Taking a few steps toward the two women Bobbi spoke. "If you're changing dance partners, could I try my hand at a waltz?" She pushed bushy hair back from her face and stuffed a hand in her pocket. She was oddly nervous and could not place why. It wasn't as if either of these two women made it their soul life purpose to make her feel like absolute shit. No. That was just Watts and herself.

He smiled. Of course she wasn't. He knew she had strength of arm and character. However, if he could spare any young woman the unfortunate displeasure of touching dust and plaster he would. He was about to respond to her when Watts went on a tirade. He went so far as to make light of his predicament. Was this man a sociopath? Insane? Wes' face hardened as he watched the pair speed out of the room, leaving him to his fate.

With a sigh, he scratched his head and looked about the lab. He wasn't a science sort of guy. All brawn though some brain. He had a head for tactics not keyboards. He would need to sneak about and find Bobbi without getting caught by their murderous boss. For a split second he considered cleaning up his mess from falling through the ceiling. Watts didn't deserve that kindness - not with the magnificent temper tantrums he was throwing. With that, the ex-military man made his way through the base in search of Bobbi. He would know she was likely at the training rooms.

Bella could appreciate the woman's words. Though she may not have shown, it mattered somewhat that she had someone that was capable to watch her back. "I have not had that growing up. I was taught to rely on myself and my own skills, which is why I think it is important you know how to handle yourself without relying on powers, even if they are an integral part of your being. I would enjoy further training."

It was at this point that Bobbi made herself known. Bella had never seen the girl fight so much, or wish to train, so it was a bit of a surprise. "I use this room on a regular basis, so it is only fair to allow others to use it. Train with Sapphire then. I will watch and critique if you will allow." Bella stepped over to allow Bobbi to stand in front of Sapphire and ready herself. Bella wasn't confident Bobbi could do much, but she was prepared to be surprised. The woman was a wild card and those could be just as dangerous as a known foe.

Gardner's Office
Watts when hearing the names that Evelyn spouted off would know a bit more about them. Yuriko was the name of a woman known as Lady Deathstrike who has clashed with Wolverine over the years in an attempt to better him in combat. She ha adamantium claws of her own, except for 3 on each hand like Wolverine, she has 5 as the claws literally come from her nails. Deathstrike is also able to interface her mind with just about any computer system nearby, and with her skills in combat she is definitely someone to watch out for. Now, on the subject of Martinique, he'd know just about everything about her, her father is Jason Wyngarde, the mutant known as Mastermind and a close ally of Magneto's. However, he'd know that Martinique also took up the name of Mastermind, much like her father. However, here was an interesting fact, she has a sister known as Regan Wyngarde, but Watts doesn't know too much about her, just that she goes by the name of Lady Mastermind and her powers are similar to her sister's and father's. The other two people however would remain a complete mystery, and he wouldn't know anything about them.

"So, sounds like you guys might have an address or something along those lines, so I just have one question for you. Are you going to sit around here doing nothing? Or are you going to actually go see what this place is? Since it sounds like that group is not one you want to mess with. You might need more help then what you've got, unless you want to end up being ripped to shreds."

The Hallway
Wesley seemed to be doing fairly well at sneaking around towards the training room. However there was an instance where he'd be able to hear Gardner's voice as she walked farther away from him, it was muffled, and eventually disappeared. "I'm on my way there now, we'll need to be prepared in the case that they show up on our doorstep..." her voice said, before it was gone. That was the only interesting thing that had happened, and he'd be able to reach the training room now if he wanted to.

"Understandable," she said, nodding her head simply before she glanced over at Bobbi when she entered the room and spoke about wanting to spar against someone. Sapphire nodded her head again, as this might give her an opportunity to see what sort of fighting skills that Bobbi had, which in her opinion was a good thing. Not to mention that if Bobbi needed help in actually learning how to fight properly, then they could help her out. Since if she proved that she couldn't really hold her own in a fight, then she really needed to learn a thing or two about it if she was going to be on the team.

"Sure thing, why not. I'll spar you, just be warned things might get a bit cold," she said with a sly smile as the temperature in the room started dropping a little bit. Sapphire backed away slightly from Bobbi, looking right at her and nodding her head. She was going to let Bobbi have the first move, much like during her quick skirmish with Bella where she had let her have the first attack. "You can make the first move," she said, still having a slight smile.

Evelyn leaned forward as she continued to look through the files, while looking over at Watts they needed to get the other members of the team in on this right now as well. They had more than enough information right now on where they need to go right now to and they could easily take down Gardner as well. "We really should contact everyone right now and meet somewhere outside of the building or something like that." Evelyn said looking up at Watts, she wasn't sure if Gardner had everything in the building recorded or not either.

"I know you probably don't trust the others, but we need to take them down as a team aside from the two of us." Evelyn said, she was pretty sure it would be a bad thing if it was just the two of them trying to take down all of these people. She wasn't sure who else they had or if there were any hired guns in that little base of operations that they had going on. "And we need to secure these files as well to." Evelyn suggested.

Location: Serval Industries - Gardner's Office
Skills: N/A
The universe knew that Watts was the smartest person alive and graced him with information. He couldn't help but show off to Evelyn, spouting off information about the various individuals she listed. "Oh, they're nobody too important..." he prefaced with a slight smirk. "Yuriko goes by Lady Deathstrike. She's a known adversary of the X-Man Wolverine with the ability to interface with machines and produce adamantium claws. Martinique is the daughter of Jason Wyngarde - he's known as Mastermind and has allied himself closely with the mutant terrorist Magneto. Martinique uses the same codename as her father - it's ridiculous if you ask me. People shouldn't be allowed to double up unless one of them is dead."

He then shook his head slightly. Luckily, he would never have that issue - his children had no powers and he was going to ensure that they stayed that way. He knew the risks of the speed serum pumping through his veins, especially the long term impact, and he didn't want that for Leda or Stephen. "To add to the idiocy, Martinique's sister uses the name Lady Mastermind - her name is Regan. The entire little family has essentially the same power set." The Andrew hallucination continued to be quite persistent - but could Watts blame him? He was based on his own brainwaves and he demanded nothing less than perfection from himself. His eyes flickered over to Evelyn as he considered what she said. It would take more than just the two of them to infiltrate this facility and the hallucination wasn't wrong - they would most likely be ripped to shreds.

He didn't want that for Belladonna or Evelyn, but for the others...? Cannon fodder existed for a reason. "You're right," he told her quickly. "Let's go get the others - we'll need them as a distraction."
