(or I'll just take my turn and you can go tomorrow?)
"Hey, Fiwa, how are you going to get there? Do you need a board too?" Eds voice asked, coming over one of the speakers in the room as she slid the guns into her holsters.
She was slightly more picky than Download when it acme to weapons, good riddance she didn;t use them nearly as much.
"Actually, I can attract myself to the water molecules in the air and I can fly that way. Its really handy." She winked, and was off, looking more like she was water flowing down a stream in the sky than like she was actially flying.
She landed on the cliff and Zoom landed not too far behind her. Getting a top view of her surroundings, she did her best to put it to memory. She would have to transfer this emmory to Download for her use.
"Which side you on?" Fiwa asked over the commuicator.
"'he one closes' 'o 'he beach." Downlad replied, making Fiwa smile. The girl could be so blunt sometimes.
"I'm on my way. You get any readings?"
Suddenly, Fiwa wasn;t "there" anymore, but seemed like a statue made of water had taken her spot. The statue melted into a puddle, and moved of its own accord, toward the cliff. A very nice way to move secretly around. a few moments later, a puddle appeared next to Download. Fiwa formed back up, reverse melting. She touched her hand to Downloads, and transfered the memory of the over-view to Download, but made sure she kept the memory as well.
"We're good." she whispered over the com, her voice sounding faintly like the crashing of waves.

"nah babe…" replied Download happily, looking at her solidified water friend, "we're the best."
"enough with the showing off," said Zoom, irritably, "we need to get goin."
"we are ge'in goin'," Download said, making her way towards the castle, her board on her back, "we're jus' 'avin' a bi' o' fun!" she grinned at the puddle that followed her, she had seen Fiwa's form colapse into a puddle again, it was far easier to do that than have an invisablity. she looked at the castle, her smirk was back, as was her adrenaline after her calming from the ocean.
"sneaky time," she murmered softly.

(I don;t really have anything for between here and when Warp boy suprises them. Cause it looks abondoned but in a courtyard Warp boy suprises them and opens the warp and tries to suck Fiwa in.)
All that could be heard was a watery sound that sounded like, "Course it is."
The two crept inside, one person, one now stream of water. For a small stream of water, Fiwa stayed right on Downloads heels, but not enough so to get any water on Downloads shoes.
"Actually, I think the smartest thing to do would be to split up." came her very watery voice over the coms, for that was the only way she was being heard right now.
"Good plan. Its harder to detect one. From the looks of it, you two are coming up to a half roofless hallway, theres a room directly to the right and somebody else can go foreward." Jack told them, confirming Fiwa's plan.
"which way do you want us to take?" Fiwa asked, she could go either way she wished.
"It'll prolly be smart for Download to stay in the hallway, its a more roofed and darker area." Jack replied, after a moment of thought.

"gotcha ma'e," said Download, seriously, "see ya in a bit," she added to the stream of water.
she looked round the oddly darkened hall and scowled. then she put her hand to the wall, closed her ees and allowed the memories to flow into her mind.
(i have no idea wat to do- pm me anythin tht mite help u along with ur plan??)

(sorry, been very uncreative lately...)
Fiwa slid along, turning into the room. So far, it was just like any other. Rooms passed, she saw nobody.
"Maybe this place is abondened, I haven't seen a soul." she whispered over the com.
Following the easiest pasth in front of her, she slid into a courtyard. The sun was shining, if she wasn;t careful, she might evaporate a bit and last time that happened it wasn;t very fun...
"Download, Zoom, you guys seen anybody?" she asked, feeling the sun was a bit too strong currently.
Not willing to take the chance, she hadn't seen anybody anyway, she formed up. Fiwa appeared in Zooms sight in her courtyard, in a crouched position. She was staying low for now, not wanting to risk being seen if anybody was there until she got her answer.

"No one" replied Zoom, "but Warp boy may have put himself into a warp to save his skin, the other's could have run. Getting anything Download?"
"Jus' sna'ches, there's bin alo' of actividy 'ere," she muttered into her mike, hand pressed against the wall, "bu' tha stones on'y picked up sounds, no' much pictures. There's an 'all further up from you though Fiwa, you migh' wanna cheak tha' owt- tha' wuz where there wuz tha most actividy las'." she frowned, "bu' be careful… don' do anythin' rash till i ge' there, yeah babe?"
she was worried. she sounds she heard were getting more and more cohearant as she moved, but she couldn't make them out yet. she needed to keep vigalent, the stones could be decieved.

"No problem." now that she was formed back up, her voice was more human that water.
She crouched a few more moments, holding her breath and not moving, listening to any sounds that might betray somebody else nearby. Her hearing was increased, sounds passed better through water and she tuned into the water molecules around her to whatever extent she wished. The air molecules also blurred her form so she looked less human and more fake to strange eyes. Same happened to her sent, the water molecules diluted it so it was more water than usual. Completely defensive, water was. Much kinder and careful, preferred a logical approach than brunt force.
Hearing nothing than her own heartbeat and the drip of water not too far away, she stood. Looking around, nothing more. Nothing but rocks and rubble the of the mansion. Not a soul in her sight. Feeling much safer, she took a few steps foreward.
Then things happened much faster, too fast. Somebody jumped out from behind the rubble, into Fiwa's path. Something told her that she reconized the man, but his hands thrust out, blocking his face from her sight. Automatically, her arms flew up, a bubble of water encasing her. A large black swirling circle appeared in front of her, pulling her, sucking her into it... Her mind snapped into action. This was WARP BOY and he was sucking her into one of his warps.
"AURULIN!" she heard Jack shout over the coms before her shields were sucked away from her, into the warp. Nothing else was heard by her ears, nothing could be heard, her com fell off and into the warp, only being an earpiece.
* Jack could see what was going on. Warp boy had just jumped out of nowhere basically, and opened a warp in front of Auru, his Auru, she and Tala we're basically his daughters now (lets say they've been as a group for a few weeks now, kay?). What could he do? Auru was going to die, he was powerless. It was like reexperiencing that horrible day almost 30 years ago...
"Jack! Get back!" a familiar voice cried out.
No, Jack knew what he was doing, a whirlwind could take care of Warp boy. It was too easy, he had no attack powers. Why hadn't anybody gotten him before?
"No, Jack, STOP!" the voice cried again, but once again jack didn't listen.
Taking it as fast as he possibly could, he started encircling Warp boy, whom they had been fighting. All the man did was extend his arms in front of him. Jack could have laughed. This was going to be so easy. The whirlwind began taking shape, as jack spun around and around.
Suddenly, Jack was hit with an impact so hard, he flew backwards. But it wasn;t hard enough to send him flying far, just away from Warp boy. Did he really have attack powers? As Jack raised his head, and saw what really caused it. The man who had told him to stop, Jacks own brother, had gotten in the way, and knocked Jack back. But the force of the two colliding, and although Connor had used his own power a bit, he was knocked onto his backside. A large black thing opened up, right in what had been Jacks path. Now, right behind Connor.
Jack instantly knew what the black thing was, and it was sucking Connor in before he could even get to his feet. Jack scrambled to his own, not wasting the breath to yell. He ran foreward, and grabbed his brothers arm, and sped up, pulling against the pulling of the warp. Connors own powers couldn't help him currently, they wern;t made for this kind of thing.
"Jack, it's pointless. Go, save yourself." Connor told him, but Jacks only responce was to speed up to his full potential, he was NOT going to lose his older brother!
"Jack, let me go. You're not going to help anybody getting us both both trapped." Jack willed himself to go faster, and did so, though it was causing him much pain.
"Jack, I'm sorry." there was sadness in Connors voice, but a satasfaction that Jack knew he was feeling, Connor having saved his younger brother.
He willed himself to go faster, but something snapped inside of him, and he froze. Connor slid his hand out of Jacks, and Jack felt as he used his power one last time, blasting Jack out of there.
No that day was NOT going to happen again. The familiar feeling of old came back, his molecules were vibrating. That only meant one thing.
"Download, I'm sorry, but stay out of this, your power can't help you when fighting a warp." he instructed to the other girl, "If Auru's lost I don;t want you lost too."
With a feeling he hadn;t expierenced in 30 years, he ran as fast as he could, which was pretty fast now, toward the courtyard where Auru was stuck. *
Auru felt like she was floating slightly now, and both of her powers kicked into action, fighting best she could against the warp. It was an escape run now, she kept getting pulled deeper, and her powers kept fighting. She was only being pulled in by a tad, but she was being pulled in. Images began appearing in the warp. They started blurry, blotches of color. Soon, they started taking shapes, vaugely looking like humans. In a disorting second, they all took shape, and she reconized them.
She was seeing the trapped supers.
Her heart screamed to help them, but she couldn't, who knew what touching the warp could mean? So many different scenes, the supers being tortured for information by minions of the darkness of each world, for the only true color was that of the good, the supers trapped. Scenes passed, more broken supers, looking guilty and exaused and like they just wanted to die.
Then, one scene that struck her heart so badly. A super, one she didn;t reconize, and there wasn't many of those, kneeling on the invisible (or black, you couldn;t tell) ground. His chin was on his chest, and never had Auru seen anybody look so defeated in her life. His head raised, and he looked up at Auru, beautiful blue eyes with so much pain and sadness in them, too much that a human deserved to expierence, but his eyes also told her that he was more sad about her being sucked in than he even cared about himself.
She felt somebody behind her grab her wrist, and with their and her combined powers, she started going backwards. One thing she had to do, or she would never forgive herself...
Her hand reached into the warp, before the scene changed again, and grabbed the mans wrist. Since his head had dropped again, he looked up at her, confusion in her eyes. A yank of his arm, and he got the idea. He got to his feet, and punched at the blackness surrounding him. It looked like soundwaves erupted from his fists, what an odd power. Whatever it was, it pushed them backwards a bit more. The person pulling on Auru's wrist pulled harder, pulling them more backwards. Fire and Water, seeing the hope, began fighting with all of their might, turing Auru's main body into a cyclone of liquid flame, propelling them out. And with his punches, the man contributed as well. As soon as he was out of the warp, he stopped, due to the lack of surface to propel off of.
Now, only fighting the pull, they went backwards faster. Within moments, they were out of it completely, the three of them toppling to the ground. Fiwa looked up, but Warp boy was gone. Most likely into his own warp, for the warp was gone as well.
"Good god, Auru, I thought I was going to lose you." it was Jacks voice, and that confused Auru. He had lost his powers, hadn;t he?
She looked over at him, as he raised up off of his stomach and he kept talking, "I thought I was going to re-experience the day I lost-" Jack looked over, to the man on the other side of Auru, "Connor? Is that you?"
"Nice to see you again Jackie." the man replied weakly, a faint smile on his face, but his features displaying that he had experienced much more pain that any human should suffer in a lifetime. After his short responce, he promptly fainted.

It wasn't like Download to stay still, but she did so as long as possible. She just simply couldn't do it.
"Zoom I'm comin!" she snarled down the mic, "I know where you are."
"Download-" he started.
"you can tell me when i ge' there," she snapped, tightly, if Auru had been lost she had no idea what she would do, she sprinted her way to the hall that she had directed Fiwa to, whilst telling Adam, or Nature Junior, to get his butt into gear as they would probably have casualties.
She burst into the room, and immediately fled to Fiwas side, holding her partner close to her, hugging her tightly. "Don you DARE do anythin as stoopid as tha' eva again!" she said shortly, refusing to let her go, "neva eva eva! it's no' fair… if I los' you…" she didnt dare think about it let alone say it out loud.
she looked at Jack, "Jack… I… you…"
"I'm fine," he said faintly.
"you're amazin," she murmered, she finally caught sight of a man who looked incredibly like Jack. she stared. and stared. and stared. "ok," she said finally, "i'm missin' somethin' 'ere… someone care to explain?"

Fiwa felt the air leave her lungs as Download basically crushed her, but it brought a smile to her face.
"If you would let me breathe..." she told her partner, gasping for breath.
"Sorry." Download muttered, loosening her grip enough to let Fiwa breathe.
"Well, I basically almost got sucked into a warp. Saw this guy over here in the warp, and grabbed him. From the looks of it, Zoom got his powers back and helped with the rescue. And Warp boy escaped into his warp. I say I'm tired." And now it was Fiwa's turn to black out.
(back at the tower now?)

(yepyepyep)
Tala looked to her left at Jack as he carried who turned out to be his brother to the medical room, whilst Adam had met them at the base of the HQ to take Auru from Tala. She had bee reluctant to release her friend, but he persuaded her simply because Tala was ready to drop as well. The fright of her loosing her friend and the amount of energy she has used up to look into the memories did not help.
Adam had walked ahead of them, knowing a young girl was just that little more fragile than a grown man, he seemed to sense that Tala wanted to take to her mentor.
"Uh… Jack?" she said slowly.
"Yeah?"
"You… saved Auru…"
He looked at her and frowned. He had noticed when she was tired with much of her energy spent, she tended to state the obvious. But because it was so unlike her, he still hadnt quite gotten used to it.
"Yes hunny," he said softly, "I did… I don't know how i could have coped if i lost her. i dunno how i could have coped if i lost either of you…" he trailed off sounding thoughtful, "and now… i still have mi girls, i have my brother back and i have my power back…" he grinned, he would have hugged Tala if he could, even if he wasn;t great with the physical contact with with his girls yet, "its great."
"yeah…" said Tala thoughtfully, "great…" she paused, and stood still, Jack paused too incase she passed out, but she didn't. "jack? you're amazing… and i do love you a lot," she said dreamily, and started up to the medical room again.
Jack shook his head, wandering what his brother would make of his adopted daughters; one calm and collected, the other man as a hatter.

(adopted? Not quite, I have plans for Auru and Connor... ) Name: Connor Shepard Age: To be determined by Ed's equipment... (will you be mad if I tell you he's still gonna be 22 cause you don;t age in the warps?) Appearance: He has very deep blue eyes, blue as in the ocean blue. His hair is straight, goes down to about his chin, and is brown with a few natural lighter highlights framing his face. His face is a bit longer, giving him a rectangle face shape. A high forehead wouldn't quite describe him, but neither would an average forehead, his would be somewhere in between. His nose is about average, but slightly longer than most. On some people a small double chin wouldn;t seem right, but it fits him perfectly, his mouth a bit longer, making his chin almost need the length. He is very fit, about average height, maybe a bit taller. Muscles, though, not grossly-overly so, can be seen when he's in his uniform, and if he flexes. Otherwise, he looks like the average man, with a hint that he did indeed work out. Powers: He's called Concussion. He can punch, and from his fists emits sound waves that have basically solidified. Basically, its super punch. The soundwaves make his punches stronger, longer range, and much MUCH wider range vertically and horizontally. Personality: he is a sweetheart, with a few quirks people may find depressing, but who wouldn't have a slightly warped mind after being tortured and broken multiple times over the course of 30 years? otherwise, He's basically a sweetheart through and through. One who likes to party every now and then.

Auru woke the next morning to Jack standing over her, and every now and then, turning around to look at something behind him. She blinked a few times, shaking the sleep away.
"Oh dang. I hurt." she groaned, stretching.
"Thats because you developed. Not sure what yet, but you did." Ed told her, the voice coming from a spot in the room that Auru couldn;t see.
"Well, you are one of the few who survived Warp boy." Jack told her, a smile on his face.
"Only cause you saved me." she replied with a smile.
"I only helped. It was mainly your fire and water. And you also saved my brother who was sucked into Warp boys warp almost 30 years ago." jack told her, his voice filled with emotions bursting to get out, but Jack held them in check.
Auru sat up, cracking random body parts to help ease the pain, "So thats what happened to your brother? He doesn;t look much older than 20."
"Technically," Now, Ed was back in her view, "He's 22. I guess you don't age in the warps. He has endured too much mental, and... not quite sure what to call it... lets go with mentally physical, and physical pain."
"Mentally physical? what?" Auru asked, her face slightly scrunched up as she tried to figure out what that meant.
Ed paused from his busying around, "Well, you humans call it rape. From the looks of it, every day besides for maybe the last year or so."
Jacks jaw dropped, and Auru watched the anger rise in him. Auru just grimaced, "poor boy. I couldn;t leave him; I would have shot myself. And, for whatever reason, I knew that if I was to be stuck in the warp, I wanted to be in the same 'scene' as him. Or rather, same warp area, I guess."
Jack gave her a pecular look, being caught off guard at her words. She blushed and looked away, not quite sure why she did so, but did so anyway. She couldn;t fight it. When she looked back up at Jack, as soon as her cheeks cooled, his look was knowing, and she blushed again, more feircely this time. His look just deepened.
"What?!" she asked, exasperated, she had no clue what was going on, and it had to do with her.
He grinned, "You'll see in time. By the way, yesterday was the 26th of September. remember it."

Just then Tala walked in, and launched herself at Auru again. She pulled her into a hug and told her off all over again, then stopped- kissed her friend on the top of her head, then turned to Jack. She looked up at him, grinned and threw her arms round his waist, not caring tht she had never hugged him before. just then the mood she was in… she felt incredible.
Adam followed a moment later, and sat at the foot of the bed asking in his quiet way if Auru was alright.
"where's Connor then?" asked Tala looking round, "is 'e up ye'? is 'e ok? eddie briefed me earlier, bu' didn' tell meh any details, an i don think i wanna know em either…" she trailed off thoughtfully.
"he's up," said an unfamilliar voice from behind them.

Auru turned her vision to the side, the man who had looked like he had no hope whatsoever yesterday, now looked a bit more alive, but very haunted. She couldn;t help but note that he looked very, very handsome, dispite the ruggedness. That thought brought another hint of color to her cheeks.
"CONNOR! You're awake!" and Jack quickly smothered his brother, the embrace not lasting for more than a few moments. Auru rolled her eyes, typical men. It may not have happened at all if they wern;t brothers.
"It seems like I'm in one of my dreams I had in my few early years in there. It just doesn;t seem possible..." his voice trailed off, he was extreamly burdened right now, "anyway. I'm Connor Shepard. You all are?"
Auru felt her heart go out to him in more than one way, a few ways she didn;t even reconize. On an impulse, she got up from the bed she was laying in, to the bed Connor was laying on, and sat in a chair next to it. He locked eyes with her, and she instantly lost herself in his eyes. Those beautiful blue sapphires of his...
Connor was just as entranced, but neither of them realised that time was actually still ticking away. Right now, it was only them two in the whole world. Everybody in the room saw that connection - besides Ed.
"I am, as everybody calls me, Ed. The computer system of this building." The trance was broke, and both looked away from each other, Auru blushing furiously, so much so that her ears were turning red as well. The back of Connors neck was beet red.
"Uhm," Connor was trying to recover quickly, "Nice to meet you Ed. You all don;t need to explain to me the different technology advances, we were allowed to watch people as time progressed. Not so much allowed as tantalized. Jack, you didn;t lead to good a life till recently, and I never imagned I get to meet these two girls that you treasure so much." Jacks turn for his ears to color, "But I've never seen you, who are you?" he asked Adam.
"I'm Adam. Came in few days ago, Tala saved me from a mind controller." Adams voice was soft, and quiet, but very audible around the room.
"I'm Aurulin, call me Auru." Auru said quickly, she wanted to say more, but had no clue what to say.
"Nice to finally meet you." Connors responce was quieter, and he couldn;t help but glance at her out of the corner of his eye.
