Ada having a killswitch in her ring was not welcome news. Madison had to think. To save Peterson's life, they would have to knock out or restrain Ada before she'd notice, or figure out how the killswitch worked and remove the device from Peterson's body. They didn't have the luxury of time to figure out the latter so taking out Ada seemed to be their best bet. Escaping was the last thing they should be focusing on as Heroes, especially when an innocent man's life was hanging in the balance.
She turned back and dragged the unconscious guard into the room, before gently closing the door and flipping the guard onto his stomach and using the steel cable Alchemist had just made to tie his wrists, ankles and mouth. She whispered out loud as she did.
"Ada walked from here past the stairs. That's all I know. I didn't hear any doors opening or closing so she must have walked round the corner. The rest of the guards turned invisible but I think they're guarding the staircase in case we get any backup. If anybody's contacted you already, warn them. Gematria, have you already downloaded all the information on that PC? We'll need it to make any charges stick on Ada. If not, please make that your priority as well as accessing the cameras. We'll try to find out where Ada is before planning our sneak attack."

Lab Rat uncurled herself once her feet touched down on the ground. and looked over to the twins. One of them was in rouch shape, and his brother looked distraught with concern. Lab Rat lifted her goggles and began checking over his body, muttering as she did so. "Okay, mhmm, alright. Breathing is fine. Doesn't look like there's anything obviously immediately life threatening. At least two broken ribs, definite concussion, a lot of light wounds but nothing that might cause bleeding out...He's going to need medical treatment but he'll be okay."
She looked up at the other twin and gave him a very awkward, sheepish, "reassuring" smile as she retrieved some antiseptic dressing from one of her belt pouches and pressed down on one of the heavier wounds to reduce bleeding. She looked back up at the twin. "Can you hold this here, please?" she asked, before turning around to look back at the building. The Twin would see that the back of Lab Rat's head was bleeding. Her mousey brown hair was matted red around the area where the awake twin's own clone had struck her with a crowbar. And here she was helping his brother like the two of them weren't enemies one minute ago.
Ardent laid Torch beside her, and pulled out a tranquiliser dart. Lab Rat wanted a blood sample of Torch while the serum was still in his bloodstream but the only needle she had was the one with traces of the pure serum and she didn't want to sacrifice that. Note to self for next time; pack spare needles for blood samples.
Ardent rang the emergency services. Not a bad call. It wasn't strictly HERO's responsibility to see this issue right to the end and fill out all the paperwork. She also watched another HERO vehichle pull up, before a voice came through on her watch. Lab Rat spoke back into it.
"Oracle, this is Lab Rat. All villains subdued. One injured and in need of medical assistance. The plant is on fire and the Terrazards have been ordered to return to it. There's a hole inside the plant that I'm assuming leads to a Terrazard nest."
