Mesmero's Base - Tibet

[Miso]

Christina sat in the X Jet, getting herself psyched for the coming mission.
Professor Xavier told her Horace had been captured by Mesmero. She was nervous; why wouldn't she be, after what Mesmero had done to her in the past. He was the reason she was on this mission, and she was determined to take him down once and for all.

Beside her sat Sasha, one of the two other people who knew what Christina was going to do.
Sasha was quiet. Her hands were blue-green and webbed. Two balls of slimy seaweed rotated in her hands. A new addition to her mutation, since Drake's rescue. Although Sasha didn't agree, Christina was adamant her powers would be useful.

The other person who knew was Marco. Christina had wanted him to come too, wanted to give him a chance to destroy Mesmero.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco fidgeted for a bit. He got up and limped around for a while before opening up a hatch and climbing down. Uned that hatch Was a secret he was Privvied to. A case of Explosive C4. He made sure not to bump it in anyway, He just sat down there and waited for them to land.

[Miso]

The X Jet landed, with a bit of turbulence, as outside the conditions were nearing blizzard.
They were as close as they could fly to Mesmero's base, situated in Tibet, without being detected. There was a mountain range separating them and Mesmero, but it was made relatively easy by a tunnel passing underneath the mountains. The entrance was guarded by two of Mesmero's men, who weren't even mutants. Easy work for the three of them.

Sasha got out first, wearing an insulated X Suit, beanie, and infrared goggles. Her hands were protected by her mutation, which protected her somewhat from the cold. She saw the guards standing in front of the tunnels, both holding an AK-47 each.
Sasha shot seaweed from her hands, which wrapped around the guns and pulled them away. They looked around, shocked, but no dice. Visibility was almost nil.
But not for Sasha. She pulled their feet from under them, and then bound them with seaweed, which was as strong as most rope.
She signalled to Christina and Marco to come out. Christina pressed a button and a small buggie was lowered from the X Jet's cargo hold. Sasha and Christina jumped on and Sasha started the buggie.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco had turned to dust and fell out the air vents into a heap. He reformed but stayed as dust. He Was carrying a small breifcase packed with High Explosives. He buried them at the base of the base and ran of, Almost insvisible to them, He grabbed rocks and climbed up them Like a dustman. As he reached the top he remained unseen for a second till he was spotted by a guard who swiftly got kicked in the head. He saw three more guards coming along. He lay down againstt the side and just looked like a pile of dust to them.

[Miso]

Sasha drove the buggie through the dark tunnel, providing temporary relief from the icy cold wind. Within seconds, the buggie exited the tunnel and they were back out in the blizzard.
Christina immediately set to work, melting the ice with her acid to make a deep hole.
Sasha used seaweed to yank the guards one by one into the hole; they wouldn't cause much trouble there.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco opened his eyes. The guards were past him now. He slowly got up and quietly ran along. He turned the corner to see a man with a gun. BANG. The bullet went straight through marco. Marco shoved his dusty fingers into the guys throat. The man collapsed to the ground and Marcos fingers rejoined to his body. He saw a sign. He reformed with no bullet hole, He put on his glasses and read It slowly. He decided this was the way so he took his glasses off, redusted and charged in there. There were a few people with handguns. They got up and started shooting at him. The bullets were passing straight through him so he just walked so his body carried the gun and walked backwards, Gunman with no gun. "Forgive me for this." He said, Before pulling the Handgun out of his belly and shooting two of them in the foot.

[Miso]

((You're leaving my girls behind!))

Sasha and Christina went into the guard house by the gate. There was a control panel, with buttons and labels. Sasha pressed the button labelled 'Gate Door.'
A door in the high, impenetrable gate swung open, giving them access to the base. After that would be easy. The door inside would be unlocked and Marco was already inside.
The girls ran in just after the gunshots.
"Marco! What are you doing!?" Christina hissed. "We can't afford to attract attention. We'll be killed before we reach Mesmero. At any rate, we need to get Horace first.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco swung his head around. "Okay, sorry." Picking up two guns he gave them to the girls, Here, you might need these, This place can be dangerous. He turned to a door. "C'mon lets go."

[Miso]

Christina took the gun, and rolled her eyes at Sasha. She didn't exactly need it.
Sasha grinned as they followed Marco.

"The Professor said that Horace is in a cell in the basement. Next to the Security Room," Christina said. She pulled a hand held computer from her pocket and brought up the blueprints of the base. Who knew how Professor Xavier got the blueprints in the first place.
"There's an intersection coming up," she said. A little blue line streaked across the screen, illuminating a path to the basement. "Turn right."
Sasha ran up and checked each corridor, making sure they were empty. She nodded and disappeared down the right hand corridor.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco ran down the halls, Following Sasha. He had quite a few guns stowed away. He saw a room and said to Sasha, "Now, I am going to go in first and take out whoever is there. You wait." He jumped at the door and kicked it down. There were four men in there. evidently all asleep, that is until Marco kicked the door down. He was absorbing bullets and this gave him the opportunity to knock the door down.

[Miso]

Christina raised her eyebrows as Marco kicked the door down and dealt with the men. He was seriously hot off the mark.
"Marco there's nothing in there!" she said as she checked the blueprints. "Oh wait. Behind the computer there's a hidden elevator that will take us straight down into the Security Room."
Her and Sasha entered the room and shut the door behind them. Sasha pushed the computer desk aside and set to work, feeling for a button, or a trigger that would open the lift.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco powered up the computer as the girls were working. There was a small retinal scanner on the desk. He grabbed one of the guards and pushed ones eye into it. The computer logged in. He ran a search and found two files. He opened the first one and there was a small beep in the wall.
"Girls step back." A door in the back wall opened and the elevator was no where to be seen. Dusting up he said, "Girls, grab onto me." Marco said. "One on each side."

[Miso]

Sasha and Christina both grabbed Marco's hands. They knew what was coming, but it didn't make them any less nervous.

[I HAVE A NAME.]

Marco turned them both to dust and threw them into the elevator shaft. On impact he splattered against the lift top. He reformed qiuckly and jumped down into the elevator.

[Miso]

Sasha hoisted herself into the elevator and helped Christina down. Christina checked the blueprints and pressed a button on the elevator's control panel.
The elevator dropped quickly, and stopped at the basement level. The door slid open and they found themselves in a semi-circular room. The curved side was filled with screens showing the CCTV view. Christina guessed they would have been seen somewhere, though she didn't see any cameras around.
To the left was a door leading to a staircase, presumably up to the next floor. On the right was a door, with a small window beside it.
Sasha looked in the window and grinned.
"He's in there!"
