To say that he was bitter would be a vast an understatement. The other three mutants were in the trenches battling their giant foe, and he was cowering behind the foliage at a safe distance… Rahne was soaring through the air toward the great beast, and Keren felt a spike of fear and adventure as she landed on its snout. Desperately he tried shaking her off and Keren to this time to step closer. Wolfsbane was too busy to notice or care anyway. He stepped lightly, trying not to bring any unwanted attention upon himself (from both the wildlife and his superiors). Synch and Lucia were both keeping the monster’s table-sized feet planted as Rahne ferociously plunged her claws into the creature’s eyes. Keren winced at the action but the gore was again replaced by kosher light splashes. It was both amazing and scary to see the faculty member in such a primal state. The sight of it made him feel as if he knew the woman better now, as if this was her true nature. To call the scene majestic would be silly, but that was the only word that came to mind… ”KEREN!” naturally Rahne’s voice sounded far off, but the intensity in it caught Keren’s attention. ”TAKE THE SHOT!” The beast had reared up in a desperate attempt at flinging Rahne off and away. The characteristic burning sensation rose from under Keren’s skin as the teen gathered the stored energy within his brain. Mal took off of his should and flew with amazing speed toward the dinosaur like a kamikaze pilot. As she flew, her silver beak shimmered with electricity, a mere nanosecond within contact her avian body was replaced with a vibrant column of pure electrical energy. The strip of lightning struck right above the monster’s chest cavity, and the subsequent display was brilliant as thousands of tiny light bits showered down. The combination of fierce determination and loud noises kept Keren completely oblivious to the ground assault coming his way. He hadn’t heard Synch’s warning, and the amount of energy he discharged left him swaying where he stood. The heat from the bolt of energy was sweltering, and his brain felt…off. The blood pulsed thunderously in his temples, his ears began to ring, and the crusted mud was wet again with cold sweat. Once again he’d pushed himself too far, in an attempt to display his competence he’d sickened himself. Unsure of how to react to the shock, Keren’s body began dry heaving. “Hurl later!” shrieked Mal as she reconstituted herself. “Run run run!” |

Lucia's heart thumped excitedly against her ribcage and endorphins flushed her tissues with happy; this was exciting! Hurling Wolfsbane into the Spinosaurus face, and watching the Scotsgirl go spastic with her claws, hooked and lured something primitive lurking deep inside Lucia. It was thrilling and titillating to behold the beasts anger, its violence swelling at the seams, and the longer she watched the longer the blonde couldn't tear her gaze away. "KEREN! TAKE THE SHOT!" Wolfsbane shouted, swinging her lithe form out of the dinosaurs snapping jaws. Having momentarily forgotten the young fellow, Lucia pivoted on her levitated position to watch him break from the foliage. Finally, he'd expose what he function he would perform. Moments later Keren obeyed his orders and forks of electricity arched from his body. The air sizzled brilliantly and the scent of ozone licked at the inside of Lucia's nostrils. Mmmmm ozone. Then Synch's warning drew the blondes attention to something else. "Three raptors at three o'clock." Shaking away her distraction, Lucia hesitated slightly in covering Keren's rear-guard. If she let the raptors get him...then Wolfsbane would be on her own to capture the flag. No! Keren could get seriously injured, his life could hang by a tether if she let such black ideas act through her. He was a fellow student, in peril - that should be enough to compel her to intervene in his defense. Reaching her arms forward, Lucia tucked and weaved the eddies of gravity behind Keren's position. The lead raptor hurled itself forward, propelled by powerful hunches and announced with an electric scream, before it crashed abruptly to the ground and remained pinned to the spot. Its two companions followed suit, all three reptiles forced to the floor with gravitational strength not even their formidible muscles could defy. The animals writhed helplessly like bugs pinned to the ground by thin spikes of metal. |

What a hell of a game of Capture the Flag this was turning out to be. Everett knew that they would be a possibility of having to take on a few dinosaurs since, well they were in the middle of the Savage Land, but he did not think anything this big was roaming around. ~I should really start paying attention to what I program,~ he thought. The kid did not pay attention to any specifics when setting the game up. He just typed in Savage Land, flag, and dinosaurs. That was probably a dumb idea in hindsight. But then again, they were being successful. The brilliant flash of light lit up the sky once again reminding them that a game was still in session. Rahne had done a real number on the creature’s large eyes with her deadly claws. It was thrashing around in pain, trying its best to grab her. No doubt the big guy was going to devour her with a passion it ever got a hold of her. Good thing its arms were too small to do so. Finally, Keren sprang into action to show the ragtag group what he was capable of. His little bird companion was more than just a shoulder accessory. It was his main way of attack. Everett looked on as the bird turned into hot lightning as it flew right for the dinosaur’s chest. In an instant, volts of electricity were forced through its body in an amazing display. It let out a powerful roar of pain and anger before its large jaws closed shut and its head drooped. Everett released his gravitational hold on the beast. It collapsed to the ground with a thunderous slam that shook the floor. He glanced over to Lucia who now had the three hungry raptors held in place. “Woot! Damn we work well together!” he shouted in excitement. The raptors though could still be a problem. Everett stepped forward as the Spinosaurus vanished into particles of light. Had they been living, breathing creatures he might have felt bad about doing what came next. He lifted his arms above his head before bringing them down as if driving a person’s body into the ground. Localized gravity fields came crashing down around the heads of the raptors, crushing their thick skulls. “That could have gone a little more graceful.” He smiled. Now that the little nuisances were taken care of, they could focus on the game at hand. Everett winked at Lucia. Without a moments notice, he sent out a blast of force to knock back Rahne and Keren. “Go for it, Lucia!” He wanted her to take off after the flag. “I’ll be right with you!” Everett focused to increase the pressure around his opponents, but only enough to slow their movements. This was still a competition that needed a winning team. |

It worked. It actually worked and they managed to kill the beast before it had killed them. It was a good feeling, to say the least. As the dinosaur fell to the jungle floor, dissolving into light particles on its way down, Wolfsbane rode it out, holding on to the bony ridge above the eyes for balance and only hopping off when the drop was safe enough that it wouldn't hurt. "That was bloody fantastic, all o' ye did very w-urkkk!" she wasn't expecting the double-cross. The whole "capture the flag" aspect of the match had been lost in the excitement, had been forgotten in the surge of adrenaline, in the concern that the monstrous creature would harm her friends, her teammates. She had never expected a shot like that from Everett. She growled as she strained against the gravity field holding her back, slowing her down. Keren seemed to have been caught in it too. If they couldn't break out of this, the game was lost, plain and simple. She glanced over to Keren. He was their only chance of breaking free - anything she could do to stop Everett would be caught in this gravity field, and... "Everett, stop!" she called out. Keren looked sick. Something was wrong. His skin was coated in a cool sweat and it looked for sure like he was going to vomit. "Keren? Keren, yuir alright?" |

In the end he didn’t have to run, for Lucia and Synch made quick and efficient work the raptors. Keren’s shakes and dry heaves produced watery vomit at the sight of their reptilian skulls imploding. Even though he was spared from the gore, it was the last straw for his body. As he keeled over, a wave of force caught him and pinned him to the synthetic ground. Luckily he missed the puddle of sick, though he could smell it well enough. In truth, Keren had forgotten about the flag. The exhilaration he felt at fighting against the giant lizard had pushed it all out…capturing the flag was a feeble feat next to that. All around him people were shouting and moving about, but he didn’t care enough to pay attention. Voiding his stomach had done little to relieve the sick feelings, so he just limply lay there on the ground. Fighting against Synch’s gravitational field would only make it worse, at least, physically fighting would. Mal made her flew up to were Synch was hovering within the air. Part of her was a little pissed off at Synch’s shenanigans. Not only was Keren obviously sick, but his little cheap shot display diminished their bit of teamwork in her eyes. Still, she thought begrudgingly, this is a competition…and he must really want that ice cream. Rahne was shouting for Synch to stop, and while he was distracted Mal struck. Two can play the surprise attack game. she thought, as she peck and clawed at the back of his skull. As she did this, she kept flashing in and out of corporeality, so as not to give him a chance to pin her. “I’ll be fine Rahne.” Keren muttered. “Go get the flag, I just need a rest. I’ll catch up when I can.” |

Lucia only had to exert herself for a few moments until Synch finished the aggressive reptiles off; their heads popping at a wave of the X-mans hands. It was impressive, and tantalising; he was doing all that she could do. It was surely a salivating display of things in the years to come. Then, swiftly, Synch threw a cog into the idea of greater teamwork, and double-crossed both Raine and Keren, forcing them to the ground with a blanket of gravity. Surprised to say the least, Lucia was torn between the efficiency and practicality of a surgical betrayal and the idea of stabbing Wolfsbane in the back. She was the first perso she'd spoken with consistently at the school, and was altogether a sweet person... But this was a competition. A temporal challenge-hued rainbow which squated over a giant pot of ice cream. But Raine was sweet, and Keren, he was nice to look at. Ice cream. "Go for it Lucia!" Synch barked, "I'll be right with you!" Chewing her bottom lip, Lucia pulled herself back swiftly with gravitational wings. She didn't need to grab the flag. Keeping her eyes on Raine and Keren - who was vomitting, she hoped he was okay - the blonde reached out with her right hand. She thought of creating another gravitational sink and wretching the flag up that way, but swiftly decided against it. Raine could just ride it up to her, if she got out of Synch's compression. Instead, she created a pillar of gravity right around the flag pole and pulled it from the ground, the cylinder spearing upwards towards the blondes open hand. |

Gravity was a mean force of nature. It didn’t take much effort for him to hold his opponents in place, but the resulting barrage of words made him feel slightly put off. But why should he feel that way? Sure they had just teamed up to take down a few threats, but this was still a competition. They were supposed to be learning survival skills against enemies. If they were out in the field against real enemies, those guys wouldn’t stop. They wouldn’t hesitate to take them out. Sure it was fun, but it was also training. “It’s a competition guys.” He looked towards Keren. Yea, the kid was not looking too hot. Everett released his hold over Keren. He would not exactly be able to run off and grab the flag anyway. Then, that damn bird of his began its assault. “Ow, ow, ouch!” He ducked and bobbed and weaved his head to avoid the attack. He wasn’t going to be dumb enough to put all of his focus on the creature. Everett instead created a shield around his body to deflect anymore incoming attacks. If the bird tried to attack him now it would be like colliding with a steel wall. Instead of taking off for the flag, Lucia used her powers from afar to draw it in. “Smart thinking.” The flag was rooted from its position and now was in her hand. The game wasn't over yet though. There was still that pesky task of returning the flag to their starting point. Everett continued his hold oh Rahne so that Lucia could return said flag. She no longer needed to be in his presence. He would retain her powers for an hour after she was gone. It would have been different if he copied her from afar, but he copied her at point blank. "Might want to go return that now. Game isn't over yet." Even with his shield up... that bird was really annoying him. He could not get a hold of the thing due to its constant fluxing in and out. He cursed to himself. "Get moving, Lucia." |

"Grrrrrrrrr..." Wolfsbane growled in frustration, the gravity-field effectively pinning her in place. Dirty play, this was. Keren's... bird? Was that a bird? Were her eyes playing tricks on her or was Keren attacking Everett with a bird? Anyway, the bird clearly wasn't breaking Everett's focus enough to let her free, so she had to think quickly. The gravity field was holding her in place, wrapped around her form, so what if her form changed? What if her center of gravity changed? With but a thought, Rahne shifted further, her form becoming slightly smaller, shifting wholly into her lupine shape. Closer to the ground, further from the hold being placed on her, she slipped loose with a burst of speed and raw strength, pushing past the field by moving faster and lower than she ever could have on two legs. She was locked onto Lucia's scent as she tore through the digital manifestation of a Cretaceous jungle, bobbing, weaving over and around fallen plant detritus, pitfalls, the like. If Everett wanted to pin her down now, he'd have to bloody well catch up. And she imagined that wouldn't be too easy when dealing with Keren the whole time. And there she was. It wasn't too late, the game wasn't over yet, but it was getting close. The flag was out of its spot and in the air... And so was Wolfsbane. She leapt for the flag as it made its way towards Lucia's waiting hand, sharp teeth and inhumanly strong jaws clamped around the flagpole. She paused briefly after landing, glancing back at Lucia in wordless apology before taking off for hers and Keren's starting location. |

Keren had to get up; he just couldn’t leave Wolfsbane to fight two gravity wielders on her own. It was true that he wouldn’t be the greatest back up in the world,( for he was pretty sure he had seen a lung floating in the shallow pool of vomit, even as he shoddily got to his feet) however, he had to try. Marathon runners didn’t just give up after they’d ‘hit the wall’ and neither would he. On shaky legs Keren stood, watching as the flag soared across the jungle canopy. His immediate thought was to have Mal pluck it out of the sky, but the stupid bird was too busy exacting her revenge upon Synch. He needn’t had worried however, for Rahne somehow wiggled free from Synch’s grasp and caught the flag within her jaws. As she sped off, Keren knew he couldn’t follow…he didn’t even try. Even if he wasn’t exhausted beyond belief he would not have been able to keep pace with the wolfgirl. It was up to him to run interference; he had to try to buy her some time. This was the crux of Keren’s lack of training; he only knew how to use his abilities destructively, anything more was beyond him. Not wanting to physically shock or burn the opposing team, Keren opted for a wall heat. It should be more difficult for them to follow Rahne once she is out of the clearing. he thought as his skin began to feel that distinctive burning/tingling sensation. As his powers activated, Mal attempted one last swipe at Synch’s head before being distributed into Keren’s heat pulses. The jungle canopy should give her some good coverage from any aerial assault…hopefully. Feebly raising his arms, Keren pushed out thermal column. The concentration of heat was off however, and he hoped the physical ceiling would help contain it…otherwise the opposing team could simply fly over it. To help remedy this, the novice mutant sent out jets of electricity at random. As it were, his “wall of fire and lightning” was more closely related to the “wall of embers and sparks”…the former’s inbred cousin. But it was the best he could do, all he needed was to buy Wolfsbane a little time. |

Lucia's attention on the flag had come at the cost of peripheral awareness. As such, Rahne was given the element of surprise that she needed to defeat someone that could affect her from a distance. The lycanthrope had audaciously propelled herself into the air as if launched from a great spring-board, before snapping her jaws shut around the flag-pole and making off with the precious item. It made sense in a way, to Lucia at least, how Rahne could have escaped. Synch's mutation granted him ability and mastery, but it did not endow him with experience. He had focused is gravitational powers on Rahne, thus giving her wiggle room to escape, when he should have applied them as a smothering blanket. Oh well...fate couldn't make the game that easy, could it? Coming to her senses and permitted now to act, Lucia's first act was to keep Rahne in range. Manipulating the gravitons around her boy, the blonde darted herself forward as a human missile. Lucia was roughly fulfilling her criteria for distance, but there would be no margin of error. She only had one shot at this if she wanted to do it safely, and without injuring Rahne. As alluring as a bowl of ice cream was, it did not have the seductive power to depose Lucia's concern for her faculty-mate. Stretching her consciousness forth, Lucia mapped the area around Wolfsbane's nimble body, and took away the gravity entirely. |

Oh okay now that right there, that was some clever thinking. Instead of staying in her larger and heavier form, Rahne changed into the small wolf form which allowed her to escape the hold of the gravity. Everett could have full well used the gravity field to crush her, but this was a training session, they were friends, and she was a cutie… in human form anyway. That would have made things a little too easy which would not have been fun for either of the participants. Rahne was loose on her way toward Lucia, or so he thought. Instead the wolf snagged the flag right out of the air and took off with it. “Can’t say I saw that coming.” Lucia took off after the wolf leaving Everett to attend to Keren. Despite his apparent sickness and lack of strength, the kid had enough in him to go on the offensive. A wall of heat and electricity was erected directly at him to keep his attention there. Everett cursed at the intensity of the light coming from the display. If it were not for the field around him, things could have gotten really hot and damaging for him. He thought for a moment about borrowing the kid’s talents to show him what real electricity and fire was. But he was already spent from the attack on the Spinosaurus so it would be like kicking a dead horse, or however that saying went. Everett took a few steps back while shielding his eyes. “Hey cut that out!” he shouted. He then raised his left hand toward the ground beneath Keren’s feet. Moments later the dried up dirt and mud began to sink in as if the ground was caving in. It was meant to drag the boy by his legs down as if in some sort of warp field. That should keep him occupied for awhile, at least long enough for Lucia to catch Rahne. |

Just keep running. Make yuirself a hard target, keep up the speed, an' once yuir in the clear an' the game's over, then ye make sure Keren's alright. Just keep running. Rahne's thoughts were always more simplistic in wolf form, more straight-forward and focused. The various distractions of everyday humanity didn't really factor in for her so much. She didn't think about the load of laundry she had to do, or the assignments she had to come up with for next week's classes, or anything of pertinence outside of right there, and right then. There was her, there was the flag, there was her teammate. That was all that mattered. Her paws kept pounding the ground, propelling her forward at immense speeds that no ordinary human could achieve, until suddenly, they were no longer making contact with the ground. She continued in the direction she was moving overall, but this new affect also added "up" to that equation. She really really disliked being under the effect of Lucia's abilities, she decided. Really really really disliked it. She thrashed some in the air, floating upwards, inevitably towards a ceiling that was no longer visible thanks to the holographic qualities of the Danger Room, but was in fact there. With nothing holding her to the floor, she'd have to... Rahne twisted herself around, hitting the ceiling paws-first. It was disorienting, not only because she was upside down, but because not all of her senses could perceive the ceiling. She could smell the metal, feel the cool touch, hear the vibrations of power running through the wires inside, but she couldn't see it. It was as if she was standing upside-down on open sky. No time to contemplate, though. She kicked her legs forward and continued running along, only upside down... and on the ceiling. |

“UGH! Not this again.” Said Keren as his feet began sinking into the ground. At this point the wonder and oddity of the ‘Savage Lands’ was beginning to wear off. The mutant was tired and sick and his stupid wall didn’t hinder anyone but himself. There was nothing left to do for the nature of his powers was too destructive, and he didn’t want to shock an X-Man…that would probably just put him in detention. Though, he had to admit, nothing would be as satisfying as watching Synch’s joints lock up right about now. As his he sank deeper and deeper into the ground, Keren saw that Rahne was rising into the air. Giving up his concentration on the ‘wall of lame’, the teenager grabbed a hold of the nearest tree root. “If we never meet another blasted person with a gravity mutation it would be too soon.” Came Mal’s voice, her silver beak clicking furiously. All of Keren’s frustration was funnel inside of her, which usually spelled trouble. “Let’s just zap them enough to make them lose focus, and then Rahne can get away.” There was a malicious glint in the blackbird’s eyes. “Are you nuts, what if I hurt someone?” Keren was slowly pulling himself out of the ground, but he had to fight against a gravity field. His progress was painstakingly slow, in fact he wondered if he was making progress at all. Giving up any hope of release, Keren slumped. How do I get out of this stupid pit!? he thought angrily. His brain was fuzzy with fatigue, so he looked up and around for anything that could help. Looking up, Keren saw two feathery/scaly creatures circling within the sky. Not wanting Synch to hear, Keren directed his thoughts to Mal. “Um, Mal?” “What is it? Are you going to get up and fight…or do you want a nap first?” She was snippier than usual. “Hush and look over there, at the bird things. I want you to become visible and use yourself as bait. Get their attention.” The creature didn’t seem to notice this little skirmish, but if Mal could lure them over… “I see.” She replied, a devious smile apparent in her thoughts. Normally Keren would not have tried something like this, but now that he’d seen what gravity could do he didn’t fret. All he needed was a diversion. As Mal undetectably flew past Synch, Keren renewed his struggle. He never was one for theatre, so he hoped his pretense was convincing. As he sank deeper into the ground, his partner fell deeper into the sky. When she reached the ceiling, the wolf began running across it just as quick as before. Mal kept herself invisible until she was within the colorful creature’s midst. The beasts were only about a block away, and from this vantage point she couldn’t see the clearing. When she was close enough, the little bird shoved her sharp beak into one of the flying lizard’s skull. A startled screech sounded, and the chase commenced. Mal swooped, spun, corkscrewed, and twisted her way back to the clearing. Keren tried tracking her with is mind, but the chaos made his head spin. It was amazing really; Keren never knew she could fly so well. Whenever a creature got too close the blackbird would simply ripple out of existence (thoroughly confusing them) and reappear a yard or so away. When the bird came back into view, she immediately focused on Synch’s form. She heard Keren’s protests within her mind and ignored them. When the stupid boy shouted a warning, she was mildly peeved…but nothing could stop her from taking revenge. In a stunning display the raven dove right for her opponent. When she was mere inches away, Mal poofed yet again; letting the X-Man deal with plummeting creatures in her wake. |

When Lucia watched Rahne float helplessly into the air, she started to relax her muscles and used the free seconds to catch up. Now that she was much closer the blonde planned to seize the lycanthrope directly with her gravitational powers. With her in grip, Lucia would then carry her back to Team Awesome's clearance zone, thus winning the match and, more importantly, ice cream. But as the saying went, if one wanted to see God's sense of humor all one had to do was make plans. In the 'real world', the breadth of Lucia's powers were limited, so Rahne would have normally shot up to the range limit and floated in midair until released. However, in the Danger Room, the roof was lower than that limit, and soon Lucia beheld the Scotswoman pulling a fast one of her own and using it to continue flee. It was a variable the blonde had overlooked. Lucia's eyes were widened in shock and disbelief. 'Tricksie Scot!' she yelped after Woflsbane. If she had been on the ground, she would be sorely tempted to stamp her foot in frustration. Instead she had to settle for shaking her fist. Well, if those are the new rules, Lucia mused, I can oblige. Her first instinctual reaction was to reverse the situation entirely. Put the gravity back in place but make it much, much stronger, and send Rahne smashing into the earth from fifty feet up. However, that seemed a little...harsh. No, her underhanded methods would need to be dealt with in a more non-bone smashingly way. Fortunately, as she had brought herself closer to Rahne, Lucia had a few seconds to react to her trickery. She'd need it too. Already Lucia could feel her shoulders wincing at the touch of fatigue as she drew upon her mutation once again. She couldn't go on for much longer like this. If it was a conflict of attrition then Rahne most certainly held the upper hand, as her greater depth of experience would ought to do. Lucia waited until Rahne reached the edge of her area of zero gravity, and allowed her to begin falling. Once she did, the blonde created a gravity sink a few feet behind Wolfsbane with the strength to yank her into it, where she would be affixed to a point in space - her entire body weight drawn in. No more shapeshifting tricks for her. If it worked that is. As long as none of Rahne's extremities were touching something she could push herself away from, or run across, she was helpless. Lucia had the distinct advantage and motivation to keep her opponent airborne, and she wanted to keep it that way. Where was Synch when she needed him? What was he busying himself with? 'Synch, stop playing around and take Rahne back to our area - quick-quick!' |

Well then… that was creative and unexpected. Rahne used her wolf form to run across the roof of the Danger Room. “Well now that ruins the whole jungle vibe,” he uttered. If Lucia did not do something and do something now, it was entirely possible that they would lose this game. He was not a sore loser, but it was something he did not like. Everett looked back to his own opponent, watching him sink deeper into the ground under the gravitational force. The boy tried using the root of a tree, but that really did not help much. It was so amusing watching him struggle to get free. Gravity was one hell of a force to reckon with. At the moment, there was nothing more for him to do other than keep Keren pinned to the ground preventing any escape. Though he did keep his eyes open for anymore dinosaurs looking to grab a quick snack. “Though I honestly admire your willpower, you might as well stop struggling and save your energy for some more important. Like making me an ice cream sundae when this is over.” He definitely looking forward to the promised ice cream once this session was over with. “Nah I’m just joking with ya. Or maybe not, I don’t know.” Everett chuckled a bit. He began to wonder where the hell that little bird of his had wondered off to. It had not been trying to attack him for some time now, but he was still cautious about letting the protective energy field down. The sudden screech overhead gained his attention. “What the hell was that?” Everett looked to the sky just in time to see two large birds diving toward him. Wait a second; those were not birds, not exactly. Those were pteradons! It was time to focus now. That rainbow aura of his began to leak out again as he borrowed the powers of Keren adding to his arsenal. The creatures were getting closer and looking very pissed off. Everett looked over his shoulder to Keren. “Check this out.” As the creatures approached, he unleashed an orb of gravity fused with his new lightning power. The orb traveled upward until it was at his desired position. On his command, the orb expanded and began to rotate. This caused the two creatures to be drawn to the orb. They screeched and flapped their powerful wings as hard as they could, but the force was too strong for them to escape. When their bodies got drawn close enough to the orb, Everett detonated it. The lightning that was inside exploded with enough force to light up the night sky, completely frying the pteradons until nothing was left but two smoldering chunks of meat. “WOOO!!” Everett pumped his fist as the bodies faded into particles before hitting the ground. His ecstatic smile faded for a moment when Lucia called out for him. “Take her back?” What the hell? Did she mean for him to carry Rahne back to their base? That would present some challenges. Why not just snatch the flag from the… wolf’s mouth using her powers? Everett scratched the top of his head. “Guess I gotta go now, bro.” With that, he took to the sky after the ladies. |
