Gabriel gave him a incredulous look. "I don't think so. I spent that night at Will's place. I don't think Will would..." the pieces of the puzzle fell together and his mouth fell open in shock. Will was still more loyal to their father. Will had told Mr. Reed that Gabe had been at his place, but why would his dad want to know his every move? "I think Will put it there..." Betrayal burned through his veins.

Molly nodded in thanks and crawled into the bonfire and curling up in her side as the flames engulfed her. She shut her eyes and let the magma flow from her damaged exterior, melting the rocks. He hand cracked and broke and magma finger flexed weakly. She sighed and pushed her molten hair through her flaming hair. She shook her head. "They were running from the safe house... I think another patrol attacked it." she told Mikey urgently. "We need to send a patrol there, Emery and Piper aren't up to speed if they break in there..." she broke off worriedly.
Rapid bristled. 'Will?? What for? He certainly didn't care you were running amok on the street before." He frowned. "What'll happen if it stays in there? Infection? We gotta get it out, besides... why???" he echoed. "Why would Will want to track you? Does he not trust you?" he frowned. "Does he not trust me?"

"I can't believe it! He'd- he'd betray me? Just like that?!" his hands tightened around the makeshift weapon and angry tears came to his eyes. Will was supposed to be his brother - through thick and thin, yet here he was... betraying him. "He's doing what our father told him to do. He chose our father's wishes over my trust?!" bitterness dripped from his voice.

Mikey was knelt there, still on alert if any reboots headed their way while Molly warmed up. He nodded. "I'll head that way and take a few with me. Stay here and re-heat." he said and stood then paused. "You'll be okay?" He wasn't just gonna ditch a comrade if she would be vulnerable to attack.

"I'll be ok, just make sure those kids are alright." She summoned a flame in her hand and pressed it to the melting rock on her stomach. "Besides." she glanced at the sky. "Sparky's here."
Alan lit down on the street and jogged over. "What are you doing out of the hole?"
"I went to get help, Piper and Emery were back in the safehouse, I think its under attack, or was attacked, I don't know." Molly shook her head. "Mikey, take him with you in case that demon ,Medusa's there."
"Why would your father want to track you?? You know what, lets just, go back, and make him take it out." he shook his head. "Its upsetting you, its inhuman, this was totally unconsented and you need to tell WIll to back off." he frowned. "Come on, I know short cut, and afterwards we'll go straight to the loading docks." he gestured to a nearby ally and beckoned him to follow.

Mikey recognized him as a ranger and nodded. He'd scouted messages to Ranger Pike before, when it was too important to radio in, and since rangers were often hard to find, you needed a tracker to do it right, and fast.
"We'll take half of this platoon out to Safehouse one." He told Alan and kneeled briefly, re-loading. "I'll slip into the fighting." He jerked his head back through the haze left from his grenade and gather fighters. "Meet me on the far side of seventh." Then he disappeared to go pull some soldiers from the fight to help.

Gabe nodded his head and followed Rapid down his short-cut. They weren't on their way to Will's to have a friendly chat or throw perverted innuendos over some whisky, not this time. They were on a warpath. Gabriel hadn't felt so much hurt in over twenty years. Everything bubbled beneath the surface and started to claw at him. He wasn't sure if he'd ever be able to forgive Will for this.

Alan nodded and summoned lightning, using the energy to launch himself into the sky. He landed on a building outside the safehouse and frowned. The hatch was opened, and the outside was deserted. He landed on the ground outside the open tunnel and listened. Silence. He frowned, should he wait for Mikey and the squad? He frowned and jumped inside. He hurried down the hall, but the place was deserted, there was three bodies in the kitchen, dead rebels with melting ice spears lodged into them. He frowned and saw blood on the floor, drag marks. "Piper?? Emery!" Alan called, walking through the room and looking around, the fridge was gone, no sign of the commandos or the kids. He frowned and looked around and saw a smudge on the door jam. He crouched low and as saw rusty words written hastily in blood. 'Alive.' He got up and ran out of the safehouse, almost barreling into Mikey. "They're gone, they were all taken, probably to the camp, we gotta get to the edge of the city, they have the kids."
Rapid eyed Will with concern, he looked livid, and hurt, which made him doubly angry at Will for hurting him like this. He lead him back up the street and made it to WIll's house. He stalked up the stoop and knocked so hard on the door he bashed it into the building off the hinges, he wince,d but didn't exactly regret it. "Will!" he called into the house.
Emery woke up, not having realized he'd ever been asleep. He was resting against Piper, which probably explain his ice-cold ear. He winced as he tried to sit up, hand flying to his side, all inflamed and rigid from stitches. He sighed out and eased into a cross-legged sitting position. "Pipes? Piper you awake?" he murmured.

Will was in the other room, but rushed out when he heard the commotion. "What? What is it? Is Gabe hurt?" He immediately asked upon seeing Rapid in his home. He really didn't expect them back anytime soon. Something had to have been wrong.
Piper shifted, mumbling under her breath. Her eyelids fluttered and she bit back a yawn, turning her head to Emery's direction. "Yeah, Em. I'm awake." Light gray eyes turned to look at him.

Emery winced and tried to stand. "Piper, I think I can blow the lid off our cellar, if you think you're strong enough to run out of here and get help." he murmured. "I can't follow you, but we've got to get back to the kids, if not, everything's doomed."
Rapid glared daggers at Will. "He's not hurt but you're about to be." he muttered, letting Gabe through. As livid as he was, this was Gabe's confrontation, and him starting something might make Gabe feel talked over. This was about the invasion of Gabe's privacy, and he was here to see it was resolved. He crossed his arms sternly and waited.

"Alone we're both pretty useless. It would take our strengths combined to even stand the slightest of chances." She offered him a hopeless, close-lipped smile. What the rebels had in store for them was still unknown and if they dared to escape and fail they would be dead within the hour.
"Why'd you do it?" Despair dripped from his lips. The silence was painful and Gabriel shook with contained anger, "You-you... how could you! You're my brother and I love you, so why? Why'd you sell me out to Dad? The tracker. What the hell is is for?" Frustrated tears rolled down his cheeks in silent rivets, shoulders shaking without his control.
Willam took a step forward, hand outstretched and a pained look on his face. "I didn't... I'm sorr- Dad just..." His other hand reached out and took his outstretched hand, bringing it back to his chest on the place above his heart. Dark locks covered his eyes as he hung his head in shame for a moment. "Dad just wants to know you're okay, Gabe. He just... he's been worried since you left. Said if I placed a tracker on you he could check up on you.. see if you're alright."
"Bullshit. Don't you dare say that to me, Willam. Dad has never cared about any of our well-beings. Maybe yours and his, but never mine. I'm the expendable one. He just wants to know where his scapegoat is at all times."
His head whipped up to glare at Gabriel. "Shut up about him. You can't just bring up the train accident every time we fight. I know, alright? I know that it's always been my fault since I'm the oldest."
"You are right. It should've been your fault. But why, then did the blame get placed on me? Why didn't Dad ever look at you like you ruined his world then? ... Why didn't he look at you the way he did at me? It wasn't my fault. He shouldn't- I was so young- why the hell would he place something like that on me? You don't do that to your kids!" He'd only ever yelled at Will once before in his life, but never had he spilled this much of his soul for him to see. Gabe felt open and exposed, like a nerve. This was only a portion of the baggage he had carried in regard to the train accident. "You know what, Will? I hate you. I hate you more than anyone. More than Dad even. At least I always knew he didn't really have the capacity to love me. But you loved me and you betrayed me. I can never forgive you for that."
Will's hand shook and a scowl crossed his features. He looked feral. Without a second thought other than the anger that coursed through his veins, he charged. The sick sound of his sweet, younger brother's bones obliterating beneath the super charged fist he had wasn't enough to break him from the pure rage that clouded his judgment. In the briefest of moments, he wanted the baby brother he loved to death dead. He acted on that impulse and even though Gabe was already unresponsive, his stomach and spine contorted where Will's fist had nearly impaled him, he went for the kill.

Rapid listened in confusion, angry at Will for making Gabriel so upset, but not having any real knowlegable history about their family he was confused by what they were talking about, or who 'he' was. He could feel the air getting tense and dangerous, but he'd never expected the attack. He gasped as saw Gabe go down, but WIll would never get a second shot in cause Rapid football tackled him to the ground and smashed him down so forcefully he shattered the tile and base board, he dig his fingers into Will's arms, hearing his fingers crack from the strain of trying not to tear off his flesh, his free hand wrapped around Will's throat, his amber eyes were livid, almost glowing. "I'll rip you APART!" he snarled. Gabe was hurt, Will had... Will was going to kill him! Maybe he already had... if so Rapid had nothing, nothing to lose at all by ripping Will's head off like a doll right now.
Emery huffed. "Well we need someone who's probably not trashed up like us." He gritted his teeth and got to his feet. He flexed his fingers. "I think my powers are stable for now, but yours are far more deadly, we'll have to work fast."

Will let out a low guttural sound that resembled a growl and his eyes started to turn a dark shade of red. Teeth started to grow and sharpen into fangs along with his nails. His appearance was that of a a half-man half-beast. His mind was feeling detached and he was losing control his actions. Conscious control slipped away and he fell into a primal state of being. There was no second wasted as he thrashed against Rapid, claws and teeth seeking purchase- seeking flesh. He threw the younger man off of him and stood tall, staring down Rapid like this was some sort of territorial spat between rival pack Alphas.
Piper nodded. "Alright." she said though she doubted there was someone inside the camp who would help them. This was a place of cold-hearted rebels, and finding someone to help them among an enemy camp was a ridiculous notion.

Emery wobbled slightly on the steps and started up the cellar stairs slowly. He reached the top and pressed his hand against the wood, he shut his eyes tight and moved the latch open on the outside. He raised the door a crack and squinted into the evening camp. "Seriously, no guard?" he hissed. "They must think we're pretty pathetic." (move to rebel camp thread)
Rapid fell back and rolled quickly to his feet. he stepped backwards in front of Gabe, Gabe! He wanted so badly to rush to his side, he could be dying! But he had to deal with this.. monster first! He picked up Gabe's stop-sign spear from the ground and brandished it threateningly, it was no longer an illusion, his gold-amber eyes were glowing, he felt a tightness itch across his skin, like when paint or glue dried to the surface. He charged Will and hefted the spear, yelling in rage and driving a rock-hard shoulder into his sternum, forcing him into the next room... via smashing through the wall.

Will growled either in rage or pain, pushing back against Rapid even though there was only air at his back. He knew the other male was dangerous, yet he pushed onward. No words escaped his mouth, just animalistic sounds. Grasping Rapid's upper arms, he threw the other man off of him, following the action with a large slash across his chest.
