Lauren stopped to catch her breath, head reeling from smoke inhalation. She felt physically sick at the thought of the toxic gases mulling about her lungs, and threaded a few fingers through her hair. I can get rid of the smoke. I know I can. It was how that was bothering her; she knew that emotions triggered her powers - embarrassment always resulted in an increase in temperature, whilst fear generally made it colder. Perhaps it was anger she needed. Or pity. Or sorrow. I can't feel everything at once!Fernando coughed, the smoke blanketing him and all of his senses. "Lauren..." He muttered, followed by a coughing spell. "Asthma... We need to make it to the... the Arts department!" He was struggling to breathe, his chest rising and falling dramatically. He could feel the smoke enter his lungs and enter his bloodstream, the toxic gasses contaminating every cell in his body. The worse part was the headache; a constant banging in his skull that wouldn't let him regain his balance. Coughing madly, he leaned on a wall and slowly let himself fall to the floor. "Lauren... I can't breathe..." |

"Too much smoke, guys," Jack muttered quickly. "Most of the cameras are offline. I can't keep a tab on the guy. Just be ready for anything while I see what I can do about this."

She felt a rush of fear as Fernando crumpled to the ground beside her, and squeezed her eyes shut. The next thing she knew, a small breeze was stirring the air around them. Lauren's hair brushed against her face as she coughed, squinting through half-closed lids. Her visibility wasn't much improved, but it was a start. Again.

Fernando looked up, the small breeze signaling hope. His hand slowly made it into his pocket, where he pulled out one of his electro-spheres. The ninja will be there any second... I need to be there! He struggled to get up with support from the wall, but fell back onto the floor in pain. There was still to much smoke for him to function properly.

Lauren frowned in concentration, encouraging a larger gust of wind to sweep through the corridor. It cleared the majority of the remaining smoke, and she took a large gulp of the fresher air, partially proud of herself but partially embarrassed that it had taken so long for her to make the connection. I bet one of the others could have figured it out much sooner.

Fernando gasped, taking in several desperate breathes. After his headache dulled, he managed to stand and faced Lauren. "You... You're awesome. Thanks." He looked down, the electro-sphere in his hand. With a grateful smile, Fernando broke into a run towards the Art Department. "We're close to the Art Department, the other team, and the ninja. Let's go!"

Victoire opened the door just a crack, and tossed a few papers into the hall, crumpling up the remaining ones and holding onto them. "Does anyone know the target's approximate location?" "Do you guys hear that? something is coming this way!" |

She paused, a little alarmed at how quickly her cheeks had coloured at his compliment. Still, she thought privately, she had done well to get rid of the smoke. Exhaling, Lauren dabbed quickly under each eye to clear any stray mascara before hurrying after Fernando.

Alex kept running, his gauntlet starting to grow heavy in his right hand and his knuckles whitening as he gripped the electro-sphere in his left hand. Ok, now this is it! I have to be ready! He entered a hallway and quickly noticed a door with a crack open and some papers thrown outside. This sight quickly made him nervous; his heartrate quickened and he took a step back. "G-guys? Hey, are you guys in there?" The sound of his own voice caused him to blush- it sounded weak and afraid. Clearing his throat, he continued. "Whoever's in there, come out. Now."

Philip kicked the metal filing cabinet next to the door, the ringing sound cutting through the silence and Fernando's voice. He pushed the door open violently, really just wanting to get out of this stupid building. Raising a weak greeting, he stepped out, making the mistake of rubbing his eye with a bloody hand.

Fernando sighed audibly upon seeing Phillip emerge from the room. "Hey, Phillip. Glad to see you're alive. How are you guys handling? Where's Vic?"

The Canadian shrugged in response to Fernando's first question and for the second, jabbed a thumb behind him towards the room he'd come from.

Fernando nodded. "So, now that we're together in mostly one piece, let's take this dude down." He held a finger to his comm set. "Hey, Jack, can you give us a visual on the bad guy? We're ready to ambush him."

"You're all together then?" Jack turned his gaze to the phone, sighing in relief when he could see two armed figures in the courtyard. "We're awfully lucky. They're both in the same spot. Smack in the middle of the courtyard, in plain sight. Be careful, though, those fires are moving quick and the firefighters should be here any minute now."

Fernando took a moment to glance at all of his team mates. "You guys ready? This is real now. Like, really real."

Lauren breathed heavily, leaning against the wall. The air was thick again, and she was throwing every terrifying memory she had into trying to clear it. The voices of her friends merged into an incomprehensible blur as she focused on the task at hand.

Fernando tossed a concerned look at Lauren. He put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "Hey, you okay? You don't look too good..."

She jumped at the contact, and smiled sheepishly. "Yeah! Sorry! I was just... This whole atmosphere thing is a bit temperamental. I'm a long way from figuring it out yet."

Victoire's paper balls went up in flames, as she frantically attempted to keep her fingers away from the ever growing flames on them. "I'll try to do more hand to hand, but I might have to set a few fires to pen them in." She grinned, although she was now tossing the scorching papers from hand to hand and failing miserably at the whole 'not getting burned' thing. "Here's to our first whole-team battle! Break a leg everyone!"
