Ryan tapped her nails against the table nervously. The air in the tiny room she had been drug into just oozed tension. Opposite her sat Dom, the very man who had called her and Rebel there. He was the so called genius behind The Resistance out here in Chicago, and a man who was not to be crossed. Ryan had only heard stories about his powers, none of which she believed to be too far fetched. She was told once that Dom single-handedly took over a Army Depot, only gaining a single scratch on his arm in the process.
"Ryan, I know you don't think much of this plan, but this needs to be done tonight" Dom spoke first, jerking Ryan from her thoughts.
"Dom, my question is, why now? We've been planning this for weeks. We can't just run in there blind and..." Dom stood up, interrupting her immediately,
"We aren't running in blind. Listen, I've gotten word that the people they have held up in that facility are being transferred tomorrow morning. And all of the planning we've done will be lost." Dom shot Ryan a look that shook her nerves.
"Just tell me what you need me to do," Ryan said, taking a deep breath in, "and I will get those people out of there no matter what." Dom shot her a very rare smile and headed towards the door. "Be ready by midnight, we leave then." Ryan attempted to swallow the lump in her throat, tonight was going to be a long night.
Ryan somehow felt constricted in the black BDU's that Dom's men had provided her. She wasn't sure if it was her nerves, or the impeding sense of doom she felt loomed over her, but nothing she did eased her mind. Dom had reviewed the plan with everyone just before they had left. The plan seemed well thought out enough, but she was almost sure that the van Dom had acquired would break down at any moment, and all would be lost.
"You need to relax" Rebel's voice sounded behind her. She turned to meet his worrying gaze. "You know me, always the worrier." Rebel's worried face turned into an amused one. "If you keep thinking bad things will happen, they will." Ryan managed to let out a small chuckle and turn back around. "If that were true, I think I'd be dead by now."
Dom shook his head at Ryan and motioned towards the front of the van. "We're just about there, so ready yourself. We don't need any slip ups." Ryan had to bite her lip from retorting back. People always underestimated her. Her worrying came from years of running. Years of fighting with every ounce of her will to remain free, and she wasn't about to stop now.
The van slowly came to a halt, just outside the facility. As the group unloaded, Ryan quickly readied her nerves and climbed out. She took a good look at her surroundings.
"Figures they'd make this as cliche as possible" Ryan chuckled to herself. Rebel raised an eyebrow at her. "Never mind." Ryan mumbled walking in step behind Dom as he approached the fence. She felt as though she was in a spy film, discovering the enemies hideout in a so called normal company facility.
Dom gently lifted Ryan over the wire fencing. She landed on the other with a soft plop. She waited a moment to make sure all was clear and motioned the others forward. There was a total of 4 Heroes, including herself. Dom was in charge of the group, not like she had to say so. Ryan was there just encase they ran into any soldiers. Her power was quite useful for that. Rebel was there to hack into the computer system inside the facility. The other man, Ryan had never met before. She believed she had heard his name to be Peter, a skinny fellow who had remain quiet for most of the ride.
They approached the facility from the back, the front having too much activity to remain hidden from. Dom forced open the door with a giant shove and allowed them to enter. The door opened up to a long hallway filled with several doors.
"Get me to a computer, and I'll find where they are keeping the others." Rebel announced, taking lead of the group. The others followed, and Ryan took up the rear. After a few hit and misses, Peter managed to find a room with a computer in it. Rebel went over to the computer, touching his palm to it. Ryan turned around and kept watch at the door.
After a few moments of silence, Rebel open his eyes with excitement. "I've got it! Follow me!" Rebel said heading towards the door. Dom grabbed the back of his jacket. "Whoa, hold on there. We need to wait for the others." Rebel shook his head, jerking free from Dom. "We don't have time, they are moving out the Heroes out now!"
