Wellston Private High School:

Girls Dorm, 11:55 PM

-----------------------------------------------------

Elaine's Room, currently on the phone with Adrion:

"I was dragged into a rescue operation by one of my classmates, but its not something I'm willing to go into blindly. From what I've been told the people we're dealing with are organized and aware of their surroundings" John told Adrion.

"Well it must be serious if THE John is asking for help. Might have to call Claire for this one, I bet she'd like to witness this rare first time event too!" Adrion said jokingly.

"..."

"Anyways, so you need me to hack into something?" Inquired Adrion.

"Yeah, but you've got help. My accomplice here, Isen, is quite good with computers too, but he needs outside help due to some physical complications and time restraints. He figures it would be easier with two sets of hands rather than one" said John.

"Alright, send me his number and we'll get right to work" Adrion agreed.

*Click*

With Adrion on board, the operation could now begin. John walked back into the area where Elaine was healing Isen to let him know he should be expecting a call within the next few minutes. Now it was time for John to find out exactly where he was headed tonight.

"Isen, what part of the city did you guys go to tonight?" John asked.

"We were in a section right outside of Wellston, called Easton. It's a ten minute train ride from the station, you'll easily be able to find our fighting area as it was not too far from the station" replied Isen.

"Okay, activate your ability Isen, it's time for me to go" John stated.

"Wait John, one more thing before I do. Wear this in your ear so you can communicate with us from the streets" Isen handed john an ear piece.

"And this, its a chip for any computers or GPS systems you come across. Chances are Blyke and Remi were taken from the initial scene of the fight to some facility, this will be able to help us narrow down potential locations if plugged in" Isen handed John a USB chip.

"Now you are all set" Isen said activating his ability.

John quickly copied both Isen and Elaine's abilities feeling the calm embrace of warmth from Healing, and the heightened sense of precision from Hunter. Now possessing two abilities John decided to head out and board the next train to Easton. He stuffed his mask into his jacket pocket along with the USB chip and ear piece that Isen lent him before he left the campus.

------------------------------------------------

Easton, town outside of Wellston:

Outside the scene of the fight, 12:13 AM

------------------------------------------------

Looking around the area that Isen directed him to it was evident that some sort of scuffle had happened here. Being a lower tier area of Wellston not many people were around, but what disappointed John was the lack of response to the obvious blast marks and cracks in the ground that scattered the street.

"John can you hear me?" Isen radioed in.

"Loud and clear. I arrived at the area you fought at and I can se-" John stopped mid sentence to take cover from something he saw off in the dark.
