⇨ AGENTS HAVE ARRIVED [CLOSED PLOT]

[ringleaders]

Who: Tamaki, Childermass, Carly, Susan, Peridot, and Sherlock. And AGENTS.
Where: Inside The Matrix.
When: D28
What: The Agents have been watching your activities over the last week, and they’ve decided it’s time to act.
Warnings: Violence and most likely body horror.

THE ABDUCTION↴ The visitors have not be subtle in their intrusions, and for a time the Agents have held back, analysing the true effects of these new entities before deciding to make a move. But now, their patience has run out. The source of this infection must be found, and eliminated, or else the whole system could be dragged apart. These aren’t just the rebelling humans. These are something else. [OOC: Tamaki, Childermass, and Carly were selected from the danger raffle to be fully abducted by Agents. Susan, Peridot, and Sherlock will be attacked by Agents, but will escape when Resistance members intervene. Please make a top level below with your characters doing something in the Matrix that is relatively secluded from big crowds of people, as that is when the Agents would most likely strike. You can bring other characters along if you like for the initial confrontations, though only the selected characters will actually be captured by Agents. Any injuries sustained in these fights will equally damage character’s real physical forms, no matter how damage resistant they may normally be. Unless they are bending the Matrix to use their powers or to alter it with One powers, they will be as vulnerable as a normal human. Agents and Resistance members will be played by the mods in this log.]

Lauren had already began moving towards the shelf, as soon as the spell had finished. He was focused on one thing, and one thing only, getting his brother. He doesn't know who this woman is as she comes over to help him, and he certainly doesn't know if he can trust her, but right now he doesn't have a choice. If she can get him and Susan out of here than he'll follow her.

Together the two of them left the shelves, Lauren scooping up his brother and holding him like he did when Susan was small.

"Lead the way." he says, to the woman, ready to start running wherever she leads them.

Susan is of course no help in moving the shelf; even if he hadn't been the one pinned by it, he isn't strong enough to move something like that. He's hurting and more than a bit dazed, but he just lets Lauren scoop him up, honestly just happy to have his brother take care of things right now. At least they're both safe, that's what's really important.

The women pulls out another gun as they run, getting herself ready for a conflict she is fully expecting. She's thankful that the kid came so easily. For all that this move might bite all of them in the ass, that reaction goes a long way to making her believe that she's not wasting her time.

Once they are out of the building, they are running through the empty zoo, getting towards that exit as quickly as possible. As they move, one of the zoo janitors turns to them, looking alarmed - only to stutter and shift into the form of a brand new agent right in front of them.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," the woman comments, turning to fire the moment she spots the target. "Go!" she yells at the two of them.

He wants to stay and help her. She may have just saved not only his life, but his brothers as well. The desire to stay and fight is strong. At the same time, so is the desire to protect Susan. On top of that, he doesn't know what's happening here, this stranger does. He has to trust that she knows what she's doing, so he does. He knows Susan wouldn't want to leave, but that's why he's the older brother. He can compromise his morals if it means Susan survives, he always has.

He keeps running, heading straight for the entrance and moving faster than he ever has before.

[wild_magic]

It's true that Susan doesn't want to leave, but even he understands the danger they're in here and so he doesn't fight Lauren on it right now. Of course that doesn't mean he won't try to come back later, but for now he just stays in Lauren's arms and lets his brother run with him without argument or struggle. He just hopes that the woman who saved them is okay, and that he can thank her later.

There's more gunfire as they run, but nobody follows them to the entrance gates. Of course, once they are beyond them, a dark vehicle screeches up to them, the back door pushed open by a young man in shades and a hoodie.

He gestures desperately for them to get inside.

"C'mon, we're your getaway drivers!"

[mylastchance]

Then again, getting in a fast moving metal cage is much different than following someone to the zoo exit. He doesn't know if he can trust these people, but he definitely knows he cant trust the person he's running from. With a prayer to Eldath he gets in closing the door behind him. He's hunched over Susan, protecting his brother with his body as he warily watches the strangers in the car.

[wild_magic]

Once they get in and Lauren's sitting, Susan starts to squirm to get out of his arms. He might have gotten hurt, sure, but that doesn't mean he's a baby and he definitely doesn't need Lauren to carry him now that they're safe. Temporarily safe at least.

"But where are we getting away to?"
