Niah glanced at her phone, pretending to check the time, instead, she took a few extra seconds than needed to look at her lock screen. A picture of herself with her sister Dalisay. Easily her best friend. The picture had been taken their younger brother at a fair and Dalisay was laughing so hard tears were streaming down her face. It caused a small smile to spread. It had been such a wonderful day. She pocketed her phone and glanced at the other Red Guard members.

Novikova was asking Maria how she was doing. A completely reasonable question considering their mission. Niah was not intending to get anywhere within punching range of The Hulk. Sure, Bruce Banner was fascinating, but that monster terrified her. She wasn't a fighter, well no more than what she had to be. While Niah was reasonably concerned with the mission she also knew she had earned her spot there. Agent Howlett wasn't helping with the nerves that were starting to creep into her stomach. If he had an issue with being hit by The Hulk... She let the thought trail off. She couldn't let that get in the way of what needed to be done.

Niah had drawn her ICER as a reaction when Tinley had announced that the two new agents, that Niah hadn't even seen before this very moment, were HYDRA agents. Her heart raced and she could hear it in her ears. But as she went to aim at Agent Wu the cat(?) sprouted tentacles and whipped the man around like a rag doll. She blinked, returned her ICER to its holster.

She stepped over to Maria who was starting to wake up. "You okay? Probably a good idea to have Bonnie take a close look at the pair of you and make sure you didn't sustain any serious damage. Can you hear me okay at least?" Sure, Niah wanted to question Maria's motivations for leaving the base like that, but she knew Tinely would take care of any of the yelling that needed to be done so Niah took a caring approach. Maria was technically a friend, though it was usually just from jogging that they hung out.
Sumi heard the noises of the fountain before they saw it. Turning the corner she saw the backs of Katalina and Christopher. Kade and his group were also just walking up to the fountain. They had an extra person with them, who seemed to be singing with Alexander. She frowned and glanced at Astrid. "They picked someone up." She said it confused and then hurried to meet the group at the fountain. "What all did you find out?" But she gave another glance to the stranger in their midst.

Kade spoke first. "We went to the tavern and found an old friend of Alexander's." Sumi nodded and then gave him a half smile.

"How long have you been here?" She asked him.

"Not a full year yet," Wash told her. Sumi nodded.

"Well you won't be able to leave, but you might be able to help us." She turned to Katalina and Christopher, "Did you two have any better luck? The guards wouldn't budge so there isn't a way to get in through the front."

Tempest's announcement that the purifiers were dead was reassuring, though she knew there was going to be a lot of fall out from this. Someone was going to get into trouble and she hoped Tempest wouldn't bear too much of the brunt of that. They needed good agents and she was top notch. Niah wondered why Maria and Novikova had even left the playground. There were no active missions. She frowned the pair of them were going to get into trouble, and they hadn't gained anything from it. As far as Niah could tell nothing good had come from their actions, well she conceded a bit mentally there were a few fewer purifiers in the world.

Niah watched as Flynn left the playground and then just moments later came back with the two agents. They were both unconscious "Need help?" It felt like a hollow question, of course, he didn't need help Agent Flynn was perfectly capable of carrying both unconscious women. She followed along with him to Biotech giving whatever help he would allow her.
I'll post on Monday.

The alarm was turned off. Niah's ears continued to ring for a moment longer, thankfully it stopped by the time Tinley gave her her orders. "Thanks Tempest. I'll let you know if I need you to come to us." She hoped the two above ground wouldn't get hurt, but it was unlikely. There was only two of them. Though with Tinley heading up they had a bit more hope. She wondered what they were thinking to even go up there without permission.

Niah took up a spot near the entrance that the pair of them if injured, would be most likely brought through. She checked her ICER real quick, just in case. Though she greatly hoped that she wouldn't need it. Things were weird right now. Between the postcard and the purifiers, Niah had a feeling things were about to get chaotic again, which while better than the uncomfortable silence of the last few weeks meant people would probably die.
Sumi glared at the guard, not that she was intimidating anyway, she was a chubby Asian girl from a land of sugar. She turned around and marched off irritated. "Astrid, what is your opinion on rule breaking?" Sumi knew what world Astrid was from and that it was a lawful sort of world, but it was on the Morte scale which made it sort of odd anyway. "Let's go to the fountain. Hopefully, someone else had more luck than us." The skies opened up and rain poured down on them. Sumi lifted the hood of her jacket and looked even more sullen than before.




Katalina and Christopher had no issue finding a fountain. It had been ostentatious when it had first been installed. Now many many years later it was a wreck, but it was being used by a small group of people washing their clothing. As the entered the clearing rain started pouring down on them. The people washing the clothes didn't seem to care, they only paused for a second before resuming their chore.



Kade nodded at Wash.
"Nice to meet you," Hannah said. She was still covered in mud. "You wouldn't know a way into the - " Kade shoved an elbow into Hannah side. She didn't wince but she gave him a dirty look. "What we're here to find out and he might know. At least then it would be someone with connections to our group." Kade's eyes darted around the room. Hannah seemed to get the message then and nodded.
"Would you care to join us at the town fountain Wash?"

Niah waited for orders from Tinley and when she was given none she looked at Tempest and said "I'll check my laptop and bring it to you if it was on and open." If there was anything for her to do after that she would step in as needed. Niah knew perfectly well she wasn't a great field agent. Her skills were best for aftermath, or as the infiltration into the bank had taught her getting information. Her gaze paused on the new guy and wondered if Tinely and her would ask him a few questions later, just in case.

She hurried to her room, saw that her laptop had indeed been open and on she sighed relieved and could only hope Tempest could pull something from it. Though the thought also made her a bit nervous and she would have to remember to cover the camera when she didn't want it on, like when she was changing. Niah grabbed it and the charger, just in case and went back to Tempest's room. "When you're ready. Focus on the Purifiers first. I appreciate your help." She told her offering it over.
Sumi shook her head. "Sorry I don't Astrid." The two were able to make it to the front of the castle with no more interference. There were two guards there outside the gate.

"Halt, what is your purpose?"
"I want to get to the top of the castle," Sumi said straightforward. The guards looked at each other a little startled.
"That is not permitted." The second guard responded. Sumi frowned.
"What does it take to get to the top?"
"No one is allowed up there." The first guard responded. Sumi glanced at Astrid.



Hannah looked at Alexander frustrated. "I tend to be a brute force type, not go with the flow." She shrugged and stomped her way through the mud after Kade and Alexander. Kade realized what Alexander's idea was as they approached the bar.
"Good idea." He complimented him. The three of them entered the bar, which was exactly what one would expect in a town that pulled in the lost. No one seemed to blink an eye when they entered either. Not a single chair in the room matched. Each table had several people at them and it seemed as if not a single person matched either. There were people in just about every type of outfit imaginable. Someone caught Alexander's eye, it wasn't that they stood out among the motley group of people, but it was a face he knew. A young man who had fallen from the ship and had never been seen again. The man had been assumed dead.



Christopher came to the same conclusion as Katalina as they walked around the mote. There were strong defense points that he knew would be manned if the place were ever to be attacked, and it appeared, as far as he could tell, to be a perfect replica of some Disney-esque castle. He had no idea which one but knew that if someone who did know saw it they would be able to inform him.

It was Katalina who noticed though as they passed a shed that it not only had several well intact boards but also an old ladder that when poked seemed to hold together well enough that it would bear their weight if they climbed one at a time. There was something odd about the way it felt when touched as if it was waiting to be used.
