"We've got trouble." Cat announced as she marched into the training room, where everyone else was. It'd been much nicer since everyone had cleared the air. Jade was even starting to tolerate Beck.

"What's going on?" Tori questioned.

Cat pulled her helmet on, the last of her armor, "Robbie sent his goons to some electronic company. All I know about the place is that they build electronics. Not sure what's going on but we got to stop them."

Laura stepped forward, "Do you want me to stay back still?"

"Yes. He's not in the area so it must be a get in, get out type deal."

Laura frowned, visibly unhappy with this information. "Fine."

Jade patted her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll get to rip something other then a bag to shreds soon."
Laura gave her a smile. "Go."

Jade flew down the interstate on her motorcycle with Tori's arms wrapped around her waist. They had done this many times before but this was the first time since their talk. Even though they were on their way to deal with some baddies, it was still kind of nice.

"So, I see you and Laura are talking more." Tori said in the Goth's ear.

Jade nodded slightly as Tori tilted her head closer to hear. "Well...yeah. After our talk I decided maybe I should let her in too."
"That's good. Did you two talk? Like seriously talk?"

"Uh...no. We just talk like two people, we haven't bonded or anything."

"She seemed to brighten when you touched her shoulder. Maybe you're the one who hasn't bonded."

"Tori. Stop being my own personal Dr. Phil. Look, Tori. I need your help."

"With what?" Tori asked concerned.
"Rachel. Help me try and talk her out of this thing. This isn't her. He's done something to her."

"I did notice something about her.."

"What?" Jade glanced at her.

"Every time she starts to use her powers Robbie jumps behind her. I think that's a safe spot."

Jade frowned, "So, if you stand behind her you won't be affected by her scream?"
Tori nodded, "Exactly."
"Let's test that theory."

Jade stopped the bike in front of the building. It looked about twenty stories tall but didn't look like anything special. Except the front sign was broken and there was a hole in the wall. Metal Lass flew through the hole with Jade, Tori, and Beck behind her. Inside the personnel were laying on the floor. Metal Lass checked for a pulse and cursed when she didn't find one.

"Okay. They're here somewhere."

"Got that right." Silver Destroyer slammed into Metal Lass, crashing them through the wall.

Beck shook his head, "Think we found them."

"Oh look it's the pretty boy." Tara said, as she walked through one of the connecting doors.

"Where's your little friend?" Beck sneered.

Tara chuckled. "Hayley's busy with other things." Behind Tara, Rachel silently slid up behind her.

"Beck, you take Tara. Replica and I will take Rachel." Jade said, using Tori's code name.

"No problem."

Tara waved her hand and Beck flew into a nearby desk. "Problem."

Rachel walked over to Jade slowly. "Rachel, don't do this."

The diva said nothing as she took off the box around her neck. Jade sighed and took a fighting stance, her claws remained sheathed however.

"No offensive powers then," Replica said, moving next to Jade

"Thanks.."

Metal Lass shot a laser at Destroyer, who countered with her own. "Poor little Valentine, all alone in that big house of hers."
"I'm not alone. I have friends unlike you!" Lass snapped, a small canon appearing from her shoulder and shooting a missile. It hit dead on causing a small explosion and sending Destroyer back.

She fired her own missile in retaliation, "I have a husband unlike you!"
Caught off guard, Lass took the explosion to the chest and was flung out the window, shattering the glass.

"Aren't you the son of Loki?" Tara slammed Beck into the wall again. "You should be on our side. Follow in Daddies footsteps."
"Not in a million years." Beck smirked as he vanished. Tara growled realizing the trick and turned right into Beck's fist. Stumbling the blonde glared at him. Before she could wave her hand again Beck grabbed her wrists and tied them together. "Got you."
"That's what you think." A voice behind him said. Beck turned around and took a hammer to the face. He dropped to the ground seeing black.

Since Jade wasn't trying to hurt her cousin she was taking on the defensive. She ducked under another swing while Replica was watching nearby. She was slipping behind Rachel and Jade smirked. "What's wrong Rachel? Can't use your power?"
Rachel's eyes narrowed and she let out a loud scream. It felt like a kick in the gut to Jade and she dropped to her knees, clutching her stomach.

Rachel smirked and moved to finish her off. Replica popped up behind her. "Found your weakness." She grabbed the nerve in Rachel's shoulder and she dropped to the floor unconscious.

"Got her."

"I'm going to get her out of here." Jade said, coughing as she wearily stood up. "You go see if someone else is around."
"Too late." Replica spun around to see a girl. She was a gorgeous girl with entrancing blue eyes. She had shoulder length blonde hair and was wearing a tight black suit. She smirked and help up a thumb drive. "Got what we came for. Now let me get our little banshee and I'll just be going."

"Who the hell are you?" Jade let her claws out with a snikt.

"Rosalie Hale. But you can call me Artic Rose. Now. Get out of my way. " As she spoke her body was slowly covered in ice.

"Not going to happen." Jade lunged, swinging her claws.

Rose nimbly dodged her attacks and backhanded her. The blow of the ice momentarily stunned Jade.

Replica quickly put her hand to her ear. "Andre, now!"

In a puff of smoke the assassin appeared. He looked to Replica, who pointed at Rachel. Getting the hint he took her wrist.

"No!" Rose snapped, creating ice daggers in her hands and throwing them. The projectiles sailed through a puff of smoke.

"Now. Give us the thumb drive and we'll only give you life in prison." Jade smirked, jumping to her feet.

Tara ran in and waved her hands, throwing the two heroes to opposite walls. "Let's bail. Where's Rachel?"
"They got her. Forget her we need to bail. Where's Fawn?" Rose questioned.
"Fighting Metal Lass outside." The duo ran out of the building.

"They're getting away!" Jade shouted, standing up.
Replica got to her feet and grabbed her wrist. "Let them go. We got Rachel. Let's worry about her right now."

Jade nodded. "Your right. Let's go find Beck and Cat."
