"Okay! I'm going to need a few ones capable of handling themselves in close quarters! Volunteers?!", I shouted. Three hands rose. A woman with dark hair, tight outfit and a blade on her back. She moved with such grace that she seemed to float.
"Darkblade at your disposal!", she shouted. The other one was a male with a blue spark in his eye. It seemed to twinkle when he spoke.
"I'm Revver! Count me in!", the spark in his eyes seemed to spread and soon he was engulfed in electricity. The last one was a woman like a brick.
"Brick House! On the set!" She was the last one. That meant I would have to stay behind with them. Heroic missions wasn't my territory but this time I couldn't evade it. This had to work.
"The rest of you start retreating to the alley ten blocks behind us!" That was the best place for defensive positions from where a succesfull counter-attack could be mounted under some cover.
"Now!", that got them going. Very disorganised. Most of them were nothing but opportunists who had smelled lots of money but it could help us convince the enemy that we were running for our lives and were unable to pose any threat to them.
"You have to go now Stargazer! Time is short! You are too valuable asset to the cause to lose in a minor fight! I suggest that you teleport out of here immediately!" With only eihteen of us against 300 the chances of winning were slim if not non-existing at best.
"I won't leave them!", she shouted indignantly.
"Then start running! This isn't a place for you! Bring the rest on us when you can do it without drawing too much fire! If such a situation doesn't present itself just retreat and teleport back to base! Now go!", she started running after the rest.
"Brick House and Revver go into that building beside us! When you hear a fight starting break trough the wall!" That should create a nice shock effect.
"Right!", they shouted and entered the building.
"Be ready to charge when I do!", I shouted to Darkblade. Now when the die is cast the only thing to do is wait. So we wait.
I listen as they come closer...
and closer...
a little more...
I arm my two stun grenades and wait till they come still a little closer.
I throw the grenades over them and as they explode I emerge from behind the steps and charge them. Darkblade leaps to the one nearest her knocking the guy out with a precise kick. That kick starts a continuation of moves that bond fluidly using the energy of the previous attack and adding a little more to it with the next. There isn't much time to admire her. The grenades had stunned quite a lot of people but there was still plenty to go around. I block a kick with my right hand and hit a man to a pressure point in his neck with my left. The guy behind him faces my foot and joins his fellow on the ground. A huge crumble erupts from the side of the building next to the enemy force as the wall comes down on them. Revver and Brick House don't waste time when they assault them. Revver's method of touch and move is enlighting to say at least. I dive under a swinging weapon and uppercut a woman swinging it me. The chaos that has endured is far creater than I had hoped. Mostly due to Bricks stampede. I dodge a laser. It won't last long though. I kick a boy to knee. Now it is a question of whether we can use it to our advantage. Everything blurs as I give into the fight. If they can reorganize this will be over quickly. There is one clear thing in my vision and that's Darkblade. Even if the others can get to us without casualties we are still outnumbered 14 to 1. My god she is beautiful!

With no time to even process what he just learnt Mindreaver speeds ahead to catch the feline's hand before she's dragged in that chaos of wiggling vines. Not much mental clarity to pull off anything and her grasp seems to be slipping.
'Shagrath, I could use some help here! And no fire.'

Shagrath had felt the ground starting to move, his senses telling him to fly up. And so he did, and avoided the inferno that followed with vines, and that thing that came up from the ground.
"Shagrath, I could use some help here! And no fire." Mindreaver shouted.
Shagrath flew down, and grabbed Mindreavers hand.
"Hang on!" he roared, and flew up.
He lifted both of them, using much of his strength to carry the extra weight. He had to get them away from the vines at least, but it would be hard. The vines duplicated and moved quick, and covered greater areas within seconds. In not too long time, maybe a day or two, they would reach the city. Shagrath flew fast as he could.
"Oh damnit, why can't I just burn down all the vines?!" he muttered.

Malice and Steam nears the Rebel base. Steam noticed the commotion beneath, “Hey,” he spoke through the communicator, “Look below, it’s dreadful down there,” he told Malice. “I know! You slow boy!”, Malice shouted at Steam through the communicator. She already knew what’s happening down the Rebel base. Her Gundam’s advance GPS technology really helps.
Steam looked at Malice with an annoyed face, “I don’t like your bossy way,” he told himself as he pull off the communicator and with that, Malice’s teeth grits, “Are you trying my patience boy?!”, she screamed though its useless because Steam won’t hear anything from her with that communicator off his ear.
Steam rushed down to the Rebel base to see a better view as he, just decided a few seconds ago, to go and settle on his own way. But Malice didn’t want it this way. Of all, what she value the most is coordination. She too rushed her machine down to beat Steam’s speed. And when she’s winning, she turned around the mech and points its right arm gun in front of Steam. Steam instantly halted. He finally had a thought of what Malice wants and put back the communicator into his ear.
“I really hate working with others,” Malice spats. Steam just gave her a sharp irritating look. “Next time you try to do things yourself while paired with me, you’ll be dead,” Malice followed with a threat. Steam just stayed still staring at her. The Gundam lower its gun down and turned to the base again, “Now, let’s make this quick,” she uttered. “Since your ability is quite effective with the current target and your size is an advantage I suggest you go in first and see what or who started this. And ofcourse, open fire.” She explained. “And for me, I will try to neutralize that growing vines and roots. I won’t go all power here.” She added. “Any comments or suggestions?”, She then cared to ask her partner. Steam just smirked and answered disrespectfully, “Since you are playing boss here, I would not try to get in your way again”. Malice ignored it, “There’s no time. The situation is getting worse. Go now!”
With Malice’s permission, Steam rush down to the base trying to find the source while swiftly burning down any vine or root that blocks his way. Malice on the other hand, scanned the ground from the air and try to find a nice spot to put the her rockets effectively, “And don’t forget,” she asked Steam, “Report to me what’s the situation.”

((Waiting on Ceres for Gobi and Rebel base because they are connected.. meanwhile..))
Near Mega Capital
Things are starting to look grim. More reinforcements start arriving for the force trying to assult the capital. Darkblade's com beeps and you hear the following : "Nighthawk to Dove, MEGA has a squad incomming, eta is 5 minutes. Repeat eta is 5 minutes." the voice is female, but only Darkblade seems to know who the individual is.
Brick House is apparently enjoying herself, the weapons that do make contact to her seem not even breaking the skin. She is throwing assailants around like rag dolls, all the time singing. "She's a brick....house. Mighty, Mighty, letting it all hang out.."
Rev is giving out just enough shock to knock them out, though it is apparent he is not fond of the idea. The ones he touched seem to be coming around, but they do not rejoin the fight. In fact they look dissoriented and confused. The eerie green glow is missing from their eyes. Suddenly he seems to get an idea. "Shoot, I can't do it like this. I hate this..no choice though. Fine." While still fighting he shouts "DAD, I know you said I could only call on you once, well here it is. Get your hairy butt here, we need a electrical discharge."
Suddenly dark clouds come rolling in, Rev seems to really be hating what is going to happen, he is grimacing.
You see the albino from the Rebel base appear floating in the sky. There is ... something different about him though.
Let lightning flash and thunder roll
Infuse the power into my soul
Come to me in my darkest hour
give to me my rightious power
Let evil tremble, my time is nigh
Bring forth lightning from the sky
Let lightning flash and thunder roll
For I am ELECTRA SOUL!
((see ooc))
The persons hair turns jet black, and his arms are covered in a blackish lightning. He sends out a shockwave, and the attackers go down. When they get back up, they all seem confused and bewildered. Before anybody can do anything he vanishes just as MEGA shows up. Immediately they pull out their weapons and aim at the insurgents. They also don't seem to care they might hit you as well.
Rev mutters. "Geesh this is gonna suck. Now I owe him. Never going to live it down..." he seems not to concerned about the guns pointed at you.

Thorn was ripping the machines apart and clearly enjoying it. Problem Child just stood there and stared. Yes, it was Problem Child again, the confusion has once again diminished the anger and he regained control of the body. Most of the Rebels retreated, those who still lived that is. Only 3 remained: one of the Gemini who tried to sap Thorn's power, the other who made sure no roots harm them... and Bear who was just staring helplessly at the thing who just a minute ago was his sister. Problem Child didn't know what to do, he couldn't hurt Thorn because that would mean hurting Rose as well and he just couldn't make himself do it, especially not in front of Bear. Draining her powers seemed to be the only option, but it didn't look like she's going to let that happen.
Then Problem Child saw two dots high in the sky. 'Maybe it's reinforcements', he thought to himself. That made him thinking, if he could distract Thorn somehow, that would give those flying dots time to come closer and it also would give time to the Gemini to strip her of her powers. He clatched his microphone tighter and began to sing:
Every drop of rain that falls in sahara desert says it all,
It's a miracle,
All god's creations great and small, the golden gate and the taj mahal,
That's a miracle,
Test tube babies being born, mothers, fathers dead and gone,
It's a miracle,
We're having a miracle on earth, mother nature does it all for us,
The wonders of this world go on, the hanging gardens of babylon,
Captain cook and cain and able, jimi to the tower of babel,
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle,
The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth - an end to war,
It's a miracle we need - the miracle, the miracle we're all waiting for today
It didn't stop Thorn, but the Earth itself seemed to calm down and stopped trembling. The roots didn't stop growing, but the slowed down and didn't look so terrifying. Apparently, Thorn was listening to the song, instead of focusing on her powers. Problem Child knew it wouldn't stop her for long, but the again - it wasn't his intention to stop her, just distract her for a while.

Shagrath arrived the place where they had gotten the emergency signal from. Roots came all over the place, but suddenly it slowed, and he heard someone singing. Problem Child. Shagrath thought. He put the other ones down and went down on the ground. Roots were nothing to him, he could burn all of it to ashes. He flew down, silent, and landed out of sight. He had made sure the others were some way behind, so he could get there before and make a path for them through the roots. He crept on all four, quick and without a noise, against the person who controlled the roots. Not her! he thought, and stopped. Then he summoned the fire, and sent it into the roots on the other side of her. They burnt quick, and the fire spread, but the roots came more and higher and strangled the fire. Shagrath were still hidden, none of the roots able to take him even when he used no fire. He closed in on her, only a few meters away now. Then he flew at her, but by some reason Bear roared "No!" and she caught him with roots coming from the ground, and they tore him to the ground. He burned them as they tried to kill him, it was as fighting an endless fight. His power were quick drained by using this much force, but the roots never stopped. Then he managed to get loose, and flew away from her, high above everyone. There was a chaos of life down there, roots trying to kill everyone, and almost none to resist it. He had failed to support them, who could now save them from death? He would survive, the roots couldn't catch him this high up, but he were responsible for their life after having taken the job. He had to save them in some way, or at least support them!

Rebel Base
Between Problem Childs song and Gemini's draining Thorn was loosing power. Shagrath feels somebody who can use flame and heat before he sees them (his connection to fire that strong)..then notices the huge Gundam and a man flying toward Thorn. The man is obviously the one who can manipulate heat and flame. With the slowing down of her power, Shagrath's assult on her roots and vines weaken her further. The man heading toward her doesn't look to friendly, he might not care if he hurts Thorn (and thus Rose).
Bear finally snaps out of his rage, and starts talking to his sister. As he talks, everybody can tell that Thorn is slipping and loosing control. She isn't down for the count yet tho.
The roots are beginning to retreat, and so are the vines. The situation is delicate though. One wrong move could flare Thorn back up.

“Steam, report in! Report in!” Malice repeatedly rose to Steam seeing that the situation had changed. She is getting a clearer view from her monitor but not that detailed. “Steam, reporting in,” his voice later boomed into her communicator.
“What now? The vines and roots seems to be shrinking down, have you seen the cause of this?” Malice asked, Steam still rushing towards Thorn answered, “Yes, it’s from a… girl…” Steam became puzzled with his discovery and instinctively slows down. “A girl…” Malice murmured. She began to tip the camera at the location and zoom it. But she noticed other people on the scene. Her eyes narrowed and began to assume.
Since she doesn’t know who the enemy is and whose ally, Malice warned Steam, “Don’t stay close to the girl, we don’t know what she might do next,” “There are others on the scene too. We don’t know much for now.” She added. Steam takes Malice advice. He stopped several meters from Thorn and start observing the surroundings. He noted five persons on the scene excluding Rose. He then notified Malice about his detailed observations.
“I see,” Malice paused for a while to analyze the situation. There’s Thorn who can be considered unpredictable; a man who uses fire too - as Steam does; another man – knocked out but is currently recovering – unknown; a person who’s just standing and watching – another unknown entity; and the last two figures who seemed to be prominent.
Afterwards, she began informing Steam about the new plan. Steam carefully listened and tag along, “And as for me,” she followed, “It is better that I stay up here. We don’t know if that girl might give off roots and vines again. My Gundam won’t be effective down there when trapped”. Steam nodded, “I’ll back you up if something wrong happened,” she added. “Just remember the plan…and the fallback plan.”
The two of them stayed still and observed.

Thorn struggles to stay in control, but the strain is too much. The roots and plants receed, and Bear gets closer and closer. As soon as he can take her in his arms, she passes out. The transformation is instant. Rose is once again Rose. She is unconscious. One of the Gemini's (Alex apparently for he is the drainer) eyes go back into his head, and he falls out cold. The very earth seems to sigh a sigh of relief as it returns to normal.
There is a eerie look in Bears eyes, however. Almost like a cold fire. He gently lowers Rose to the ground, and turns to face everybody. "We are going to find out who is responsible for doing this to Rose. We are going to find them, and I am going to rip out their heart and feed it to them while it is still beating."
The other Gemini approaches him "Bear, you think Rose would want that? Yes, we have to find out who did this, and we will make them pay. Killing them is not the answer. Rose would not want it."
There is a lot of tension in the air, there is no doubt if it come to a confrontation that Bear would loose. The question is, would Gemini even try to stop him. "Rose needs medical attention. You need to be by her side until she is better. Let us handle it."
Bear stands there for a moment, the cold rage in his heart fighting his usually peaceful nature. He wants to rip something, anything apart, but he knows Gemini is right. "Fine. Know this, however. If you don't find them, and stop them, I will. Even if I have to go through every Rebel, CoED member, or anybody else. Nobody hurts my sister and gets away with it...nobody."
He turns and picks his sister up gently and carries her toward the base. Rubble is everywhere, sirens can be heard in the distance, the whole area is trashed.

After seeing Rose become unconscious, Steam communed with Malice at once. “Steam, reporting in,” he spoke “It’s safe to go down, the threat had been neutralized.”
Malice confirmed Steam’s report by zooming in the view of her monitor. “I’m going down,” she responded approving to her partner’s statement. She then picked a suitable space down at the Rebel Base for her Gundam to land in.
Her Gundam then lands to the huge space at the base where there are fewer dents. Steam rushed in close and set off his feet to the ground too. The cockpit opened, Malice went out of her Gundam jumping off and when she’s at her feet, Steam closes in staring deviously at her. “Hey, remember,” he smirked while offering his hand, “We are a couple,” his mocking didn’t bother Malice. Instead, she took his hand and nodded.
Both of them walked to the direction where the Geminis stood. Steam is smiling and proudly holding Malice’s hand. He thinks that he had intimidated her a while ago with his conceited act when he choose to go on his own. And besides, he also observed a little change in his partner’s attitude towards him. He grins as he think of his little revenge. On the other hand, Malice is busy observing the surroundings, mainly recognizing the faces and the powers of each as much as she can.
“I’m glad this is finished,” Steam voiced out as the two off them approach the Geminis, “We are here to sign-up.”

Mega City Capital
Things looked tense. The former assailiants are dazed and confused, M.E.G.A troops seem ready to shoot first and ask later, and Rev seems ready to throw caution to the wind and 'light them up' so to say.
Stargazer comes out of where she was, and seems all business. She marches right up to the one who seems to be in charge of the MEGA troops. "Thank you, but you and your squad can leave now, we have everything under control."
"I don't take orders from you, ma'm " the last part dripping with contempt. "My orders are to take these insurgents in, alive or dead, for questioning."
Stargazer smiles and nods turning away, and then suddenly turns back. She grabs the guy and shoves him back against the transport. Immediately several weapons from the troops are aimed at her. "Listen to me, and listen good. Just because I don't have an active power, don't think you can dismiss me. I have full authority here, given to me by YOUR boss, as well as the Gemini's. Do you really want me to call them and tell them that you are giving me problems? You'd be scrubbing toilets for what is left of your pathetic life if I did. And if your men do not lower those weapons, I am going to give an order." She looks back at Rev and the rest. "Do you really ... really want that?"
Something about her voice convinced him.."Ok, ok. We will fall back...for now. I won't forget this."
Turning to Varjo. "See to it that they leave. If they turn back around..well..don't let them turn back around."
((Sorry for the delay, writers block ftl)).
What is left of the rebel base
One of the Gemini's approach the two strangers. "Well, if you want to join, help us clean up this mess. Your in. We can use all the help we can get."
The other Gemini is slumped against what is left of a wall. "Yes, it appears we might be going up against MEGA and Ironclad. I know he is a bit cold, but this..I just can not believe he is behind this.."
Over your comms you hear : NEWSFLASH A man claiming to be Ironclad has been admitted to a hospital near the Gobi Desert. John Strongarm - aka Ironclad - was reported in critical condition. It is unconfirmed at this point if indeed this is really Ironclad, and if so how he got to be in such terrible condition. MEGA denies the claim, and reports that Ironclad is on a chopper to the MEGA city capital to check up on reports of an attack on said capital.
"Well..isn't that interesting." Comments one of the Geminis. "Who wants to volunteer to go back to the Gobi Desert and check in on this supposed Ironclad. We have to get to Mega City Capitol, if Ironclad is behind this, the people we have there are in danger."

Problem Child was sitting not far from the Gemini, smoking some of the weed he got left from his own time.
"So, Ironclad is that MEGA dude, right? The one that the two of you worked with a long time ago?"
"Yes, you could say that the three of us created the world as it is now", one of the Gemini replied. "But he became so... obsessive about some things that we had to split up. That's how the Rebels were founded."
"Yes, yes, I remember you told me that before...", Problem Child sends a cloud of smoke into the air. "I've been thinking, if there are supposedly two Ironclads right now, shouldn't we send someone who knows him to both places? I know you guys don't like to split up, but from what I've heard, you're the only ones that really know him... Anyway, when you decide who's going where sign me up for a trip to the city, I hate deserts."

"If it is Ironclad, only the two of us combined stand a chance. He can take all of the Rebels at once and not break a sweat. The one in the desert does not sound like a threat. I would like Mindreaver to go there at least. He should be able to read the person's mind. If it is Ironclad, he only has resistance to mental abilities that control the mind not read it." replies Gemini.

Shagrath looked worried and went over to Problem Child.
"Hey, could I try some of that?" he asked, he always liked to try new things. "By the way, if Ironclad is that dangerous we should not go there... maybe some other mission is better. We don't want to die yet you know."
Problem Child looked at him, then handed over some. Shagrath did as he had seen Problem Child do, and it was harder than it looked. He swore some, then set a random person on fire, and then finally he managed to fix it.
"HA!" he said, and put it into his mouth. "What now?"
Problem Child laughed of him.
"You have to set the end on fire, shouldn't be any problem to you."
"Oh." Shagrath said, and fired it up.
He sat there, perfectly still, and continued breathing in without breathing out again.
"Umm..." Problem Child said. "Maybe you should breath out too?"
Shagrath breathed out.
"Why?" he asked, looking a bit dizzy. "This snow is good. Never tried anything like it, where can I buy it?"
Before Problem Child got to answer the Geminis came over to them.
"It seems like you two are a good team, we would like you two in too the place that was once Sweden. You know where it is, Shagrath, we checked your background and you come from the neighbor-country." one of them said.
"Umm..." Shagrath said, "We just..."
"There are big problems there after what we've heard, someone has made an army of peoples that's fighting the government." the other Gemini interrupted, Shagrath should point out that he and Problem Child had just met. "The government has soldiers in the area, but they want powerful mutants there too. Since you two are working for us, and both are powerful enough" ...("Enough?!" Shagrath frowned.) "... "you two can go down there and assist the soldiers to fight the army."
The other Gemini looked over at the computer, and walked over to it.
"Incoming message." he said, "There are something else there, not identified. The soldiers of the government are almost being slaughtered without being able to resist it."

Soon after the Gobi trip Mindreaver had bid the others good night and went off to his place. He was working independently after all and all that had drained him a bit. Flying on a demon's wings from the desert was a bit uncomfortable and he was aching so first thing to do was leave the vial of soil to a friend for analyzing and take a warm bath.
A few relaxing minutes in the water later his mobile rang. Apparently Gemini wanted him to travel back to Gobi to check on a potential second Ironclad and it was then that his vision came to mind more clearly. He readily accepted and soon got ready.
Before walking out of the door he thought it would be better to have some support in case something happens again. If that guy WAS ironclad then something had managed to harm him and it might be coming to finish him off.
Or he was getting paranoid again. If that was the case he would not be able to do much no matter who was with him, that was a mission for obtaining information something best done alone.
He walked off towards the nearest teleporter wondering what all these had to do with the meteor and how on earth it had come to be there.

Later at the Gobi Desert
The hospital is not hard to find, nor is the mysterious patient. He definitely looks like Ironclad and a quick mind probing does not prove evidence to the contrary. He lives up to his name as the neutralizers cannot pierce his skin - ironclad indeed!
The illusionist moves closer to the bed.
"My God you really are John Strongarm, the Ironclad. It is regrettable that we do not meet under better circumstances. What happened to you?"
The man seems weak to make any moves but he can talk which is a good sign.
"Yes.. I will explain, listen closely. I'm sure everyone has heard about me having clones of myself but what is not known is that I have designed robots in the image of me, practically indistinguishable from myself. Of course they are not as powerful as me or my clones but they have extreme adaptability - destroy one and another will activate to take its place stronger than before."
Mindreaver takes a concerned look. "So how many are out there? We could be facing an army of self-improving robots at any time."
"No, as a precaution I had designed them so only one can be activated at a time. Whom people believe to be the real me is one of those robots and somehow it can mind control other people - I suspect it's using my nanotechnology studies."
"But how? I wouldn't have thought Artificial Intelligence has reached that far where robots can think for themselves."
"These ones can, that accursed Entropy managed to infect them with a virus program that gives them more possibilities. By the time I found out it was too late, the robot had spiked my drink with a neutralizing agent and I was too weakened to do anything. I was imprisoned for only a while but I'm afraid I won't be of much assistance for the time being."
He's in bad shape alright, the illusionist decides to let him rest and see what he can do about the current situation, time is of the essence.
"Rest easy you have done your part. I will make sure Gemini are informed, take care."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later Mindreaver is back at the base that looks a little better now. Gemini and those present are briefed about the situation and pondering on their next move.

Shagrath walked through the city, still dizzy after the weed. He had never tasted something like THAT before. He sat down on a bench and relaxed, he were tired. He hadn't slept in almost a week after having taken the job, he should do it soon. He fell asleep after a few minutes, and while he was sleeping he felt someone touching him. He woke up, then blacked out again. Someone had given him some kind of sleeping-medicine, and he couldn't wake up even if he focused on it a 100%. If he had only had the illusionists mental power too...
After what felt like days he woke up, and tried to move. He couldn't, and he opened his eyes. He was in a white room, all was white except the thing that kept him locked in place. He summoned his fire of all force, but it wouldn't break out of the things keeping his hands shut. He panicked, why were he kidnapped? Then a door opened, it hadn't been visible in the wall because it were all white. A person in a white a white coat entered.
"Oh, you are awake." he said and smiled, "Our dear assassin used a way too strong dose of sleeping-medicine, I am sorry. At least we know that you are strong."
The man looked at him and smiled a smile without warmth. Then he pushed a button, and more persons came in.
"Oh, it's awake." a woman said, and stared at him.
"Is it as powerful as we thought?" said another.
"All in good time." said the man that had first entered the room, "Our friend here may be a bit afraid, he should know who we are and why we have him captured here."
"But it's a mutant, it doesn't need such treatment." said the woman, "Can't we just duplicate it's power into more men so we have a durable army?"
"No, not yet." said the first man again, then he turned to Shagrath again. "You may know me. I am the man that lead the experiments that made you as you now are."
Shagrath were torn up inside, he roared and turned into demon-form. Most of the persons screamed and fell or jumped backward, when his hand-keepers glowed white of the heat. He threw himself forward, but he were thrown back at once.
"It's strong, isn't it?" the man that had first entered said, "It's one of the strongest mutants we are able to duplicate, any stronger would be too much for us to stop from killing us."
He smiled with such cold that the others took a step backward.
"And there's no one to save him, thanks to our powerful ally!"

"Ofcourse!" Steam boasted. He turns onto Malice and grins. He pressed her hand indicating a cue, "Me and my honey really wants to join in. Isn’t it, Hon?"
But Malice wasn’t paying attention because the new information about the Ironclad stuns her. With that, Steam pressed her hand one more time, “Hon?”
“Huh?” Malice turned to him seemingly aware now. Steam makes faces trying to give her a hint of what she should do. “Oh! Yeah…” she nodded then she spun to one of the Gemini and smiled while offering a handshake. “We are here to sign-up.”
Then after a moment, she turned serious and addressed the Gemini again, “So what do you think is better for us to do? Help clean up this mess or check on the Ironclad?”
Malice seeks the Gemini's opinion, though she really wanted to check out on Ironclad. She wants information about him, since the Gemini said he's quite a threat. She doesn’t know a lot about the Ironclad. A descent assessment about him might help them for their mission. And also through that they could check out the other rebels there. It’s really an advantage.
Steam just stared at Malice thinking what she’s planning for now. He was actually intending to listen and wait but he can’t help himself from being incited, so he tones out, “I think staying here is better…” he paused for a while and doubts his reasoning since he didn’t have any idea why it is better to stay, “Well…checking out the Ironclad sounds nice too!”, he then looked at Malice who seems to be in dismay. “Oh, well… I’ll go wherever you wish, Hon,” he told Malice grinning.
Malice looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She told herself, “This guy doesn’t make sense at all!”
At this very moment, all she wanted is to knock the guy out. But also she knows that it is not a good idea; firstly, it might blow up their cover and lastly, he’s vital for the mission and she needs any resources that she could have.
Thus, she controlled herself. She then, gracefully smiled at Steam and said, “I’m glad to hear that… Hon.”

"Even if this is some robot duplicate of Ironclad, he has MEGA to back him up. They outnumber us a lot, we can use all the help we can get." replies one of the Gemini's
"However, if this thing can control robots your machine would not be a good thing to take. It could turn against us." cautions the other Gemini.

Mega City Capitol :
Stargazer is confused as to why the people are now acting normal, even if confused. She calls for Ghost. "Do your thing hun, see if there is anything you can find out."
Ghost 'phazes' through one and comes out the other side. "There is something odd. A microchip is implanted in their brain. Seems the electricity shorted them out though. Maybe that was what was controlling them?"
