*I lie down on the ground at the edge of the manhole so I can reach as far as possible back down the ladder. Pulling Red up is awkward, but I roll when I get her up rather than trying to sit up myself, and lay her on the ground with as little jostling as I could manage. I get to my feet as Arson appears over the edge of the manhole, and jog over to the depression where I parked the van. Starting it up, I drive back to the others, slowing down when I get close so I don't stir up too much dust. Now we just need to get everyone divided up and loaded, and we can be away from here...*

*I climb out happy to be in the sun again, and start giving the others a hand out while Gear grabs the van.* 'Kay our cars just over there, who's coming with us? *I see Blackie standing there with the keys in her hand, I walk past and grab them.* My turn to drive.*I smile and walk of, examining everyone.* How's the leg Glass?

Oh! Uh...*I look down at my bloody bandage and shrug.* The bleeding stopped. I'll be okay. Thanks, though.

*I wait quietly for all the others to reatch the top of the manhole before I walk up to it. I glance back into the dark of the tunnels and sigh. I start to climb up the ladder and see that Gear has the van all ready for our get away. I glance over at, Bullet? and I think her name was Blackie, as they head toward their car. Cyn and Twisted are both going to be on Cyn's bike so I go over to the van and open the back doors so Arson and Jump can get Red into the back.*

This way, -I motion for Twisted to follow me to a small shed, partially hidden by the slope and tall brush to where my bike is. I am loathe to start it however, at least until the van has started to move away-

*i roll my eyes at Bullet and smile at him before following him to the car. The pain in my head starts to come back and I swallow one of the pills again so it dies down. It feels good to not have to worry about my little problem anymore*

*Jump and I get Red into the back of the van, and I'm glad we'd taken out the third row of seats when we moved PB, because now it means there's room to lay Red down. When Jump has her situated the way he wants, I hop back out and run over to where I see Twisted and Cyn, handing Cyn the jacket* Here. Thanks for letting use use it, and sorry for the blood stains.
*I smile, then glance automatically back towards the city, checking for vehicles being sent out.* They shouldn't be able to tell we've left the city yet, but just in case they check out here, once we get moving I'd like you and Blackie to speed up and get in front of the van. Passersby will think we're trying to pull you over, and it shouldn't raise any concerns. Again, thanks. See you back at the safehouse!
*I make a quick stop with Bullet and Blackie to tell them the same thing, then head back to the van.* Someone's going to want to ride with them in the car; we don't have enough seats for all of us in the van. Rock paper scissors? We're all going to the same place.
(Side note - Seeing as how we're going to want to split up into smaller groups soon, and assuming most people don't read all the other threads, I thought I'd pass along a transmission from one of Midnight Smoke's characters currently in the Supply and Demand section of the forum. They need help; their sister was captured by BL/i and their supply shop was raided. Once we get back to the safehouse (or before, if anyone would rather), that's a storyline someone could jump on)

-I grin and nod to Arson- Don't worry bout it. Its seen worse, believe me. And you got it, we'll be right up there. -I hop on my bike after giving it a quick once over to make sure nothing is damaged.-

*Everyone starts to load up. I wave goodbye to Twisted and Cyn. I assume this is goodbye.* I'll see you guys then? *Cyn nods. Red gets laid in the back of the car, where she'll be most comfortable. I look back at Battery, awkwardly standing in the desert, very out of place.*
((I'm assuming since it's my safehouse we're going to, I'll be returning in the van? Doesn't matter to me, though))

Don't worry. 'Less we get held up on the way there, we'll be at the safe house. ~I say before pulling my mask back up, having wheeled the bike slightly closer to the van~ I gotta stock up before we set out again, not to mention rest a bit. ~I nod and roll my shoulders, eager to get going.~ Good luck to y'all.

(Makes sense, Glass. Let's not worry about who's where.)
*I get into the second row of seats, since Jump's sitting on the floor in back with Red. I hang one arm over the back of the seat to take her hand again, and when everyone's in I feel the van start to move. The ride smooths out when we get back to the pavement, and I hear the car and motorcycle accelerate past us after a minute or so. I close my eyes, sitting sideways and leaning my forehead against the seat back. My arm's pulsing with pain and I feel a headache coming on, but I don't mind. If I focus on that, I don't have to think about Retro.*

((sounds good.))
*The mood on the way back from Battery is nothing close to that of the way coming. Everyone is dirty, many are bloody, and a grim silence envelopes the vehicle. Not that I expected anything different. We're all tired and a bit foul-smelling. The only sound is the roll of the tires and the occaisonal cough or sigh. Red doesn't move around very much. I assume she is still consious, or Arson would have said something.*

*I take shotgun in the van, making occasional comments to Gear. I glance back every once in a while. Jump is firmly in doc mode and so is very serious and everyone's quiet. Finally I can't take it anymore. I turn to my fellow killjoys* Hey, guys, do you realize we made it in and out of the tower without loosing a single person? And we even saved Red! I mean, by all accounts we are awesome! Glass, you and I need to make a big glorious dinner tonight to celebrate!

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
