Thirteen yelped, her tail puffing in surprise. Instead of booking it over the wall, she ran back toward the facility. "One! Two! They're still in there!!" The girl felt her mind race with Nine's worry, Three's concern and her own fear for her friends. Her family. She shouted for them, prevented from entering by, hopefully, someone outside. If she had the chance, she would book it inside to help her friends still trapped. Two, One, anyone else, they needed her. They needed her now. "ONE! TWO!!!"

She hollered, still trying to clear her own mind.

Alex dropped the hot pillowcase in the snow, quickly dampening the pillowcase as the melted snow soaked into it. Grabbing Thirteen by the arm he held her fast not letting her get free of his grip. "THIRTEEN! Stop! You have to remain calm and have faith in them! It hurts to think about it, but you CAN'T SAVE EVERYONE!" Alex looked over to Three hoping for reassurance in his words but also his hold on the girl. Alex had no idea how strong she'd be when she was in this kind of panic and didn't want to find out the hard way.

[Lavender_Stripes]

"Of course I can!! We can't leave them behind!!! YOU can run off, but I'M going back!!" The girl pulled against him, trembling to herself out of sheer panic. She yowled, her lip curling into a snarl. If it wasn't for her medication, she would be losing it even worse. "Don't you dare leave them! None of you! Betrayal is NOT acceptable!"

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex sighed in exasperation at her words then blinked and snarled back at her, his own lip pulling back to reveal his row of sharp teeth, the teeth of a predator. "Don't you DARE paint me as a traitor! If you want to call anyone a traitor then find a mirror! They're doing this all for us! They're risking their lives all for us! Do you know how much Three and One care for you!? How much they want YOU above even THEMSELVES to get out of here alive!? They're willing to risk it all just so you can escape and you're willing to throw it all away." Alex eyed her up with a look that bordered on contempt. "IF you REALLY want to worry about others then worry about the hopes and the efforts you're about to crush by trying to go back inside."

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen froze, hissing through her pointed teeth. Her eyes welled with tears, her hands clenched into the tightest fists she could manage. She tore her arm from his grip, tears streaming down her cheeks as she shut out all thoughts but her own. She turned to the wall, and leaped up to the edge, pulling herself on top of it with some struggle. But not much. She was trained for stealth and speed in any emergency, and coupled with her feline reflexes, it didn't take much to hop up. "I am no traitor. I wanted everyone to come out alive, but you know what? By preventing me...I can't believe you'd just turn your back on them and let them die. And you've forced me to, now. I wish I didn't have to hear everything you thought! Because I know when you're lying! Maybe sometimes believing a lie would be better." She sat with little effort, keeping watch over the doors.

One started running with Two, the older male guiding her down the hall ways. One still blamed herself quite heavily although the only person who would pick up on it would be Thirteen, on the outside she seemed cold almost frozen as she kept her focus. Turning down one of the corridors a singular guard was looking around the chaos of the power having gone out, doors left open and the dull emergency lighting making seeing a little harder than usual. One instantly bolted ahead of Two her body much better trained physically than his, not that two was weak or unfit just her own body due to her past training was a little faster than his. "Get the hell out of my way!" she hissed clearly much more aggressive than she had ever show to be.
The guard turned and raised his tranquilizer gun but it was a futile effort  as One was already ontop of him before he even finished the movement. Instantly bringing her fist into his stomach sparks jumping around them both before the force of her movement slammed them both into the wall. Sparks still danced around them both as the human slide down slumping down the punch acting like  a stun gun as One let out a rather angry growl. "Two where is the exit?" she demanded to know .

[Isoke]

 “Like I said, Thirteen should be outside with Three.  By now she and most of the others should be on the other side if things are progressing as smoothly as they need to.”  Two continued to navigate the maze of hallways in the dim illumination with as much haste as he could safely muster.  He allowed One to charge past at the intervening guard, figuring she had both the means and the motive to dispatch him marginally quicker than he could manage.  The vulpine never broke stride as he continued past the now incapacitated guard and One who had little difficulty catching up.
 
All the while, Two was kept track of time since the outage and had just passed the three-minute mark.  “In less than two minutes the power will be back on.  It will get a lot more difficult to escape once that happens.”  With any luck, the others would be over by now save for Three who would be ready to airlift the two of them.  Finally they rounded the last corner and all that remained was a long hallway with a brilliant white of daylight beaming in through the windowed door just at the other end.  “That’s the exit!”

Three wasn't too pleased at all by the remarks the others had been making whilst he was outside with them. They acted as if he wasn't even there. As if he did not care for the others either, but at least it wasn't directly spit in his face. He had never thought that Thirteen actually thought that he would not care for One or Two, or any of the others still inside of the facility. Not to mention the various of other Units and their Subjects as well.
 
The cat sighed in response as he looked at what the others were doing. He would have easily told them that he could help them over the wall, but how they were waiting for the others he feared they wouldn't care for it regardless of what he said. But the time was kicking and he needed to do something at least. Or else this entire breakout was for naught. "Hey guys, sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't know how long that this outage will be... Not to mention, we'll be getting a very pissed, very strong new Subject over here. Remember?!"
 
With some gritting of his teeth alongside the needed pain that came with it, did Three force the wings out of his body, panting and grunting heavily as the black feathered mass began to develop and expand. "Let's just hope this collar is indeed shut off. I don't want a nasty shock or blow up." The cat said to himself, not really enjoying the idea as he tried to get over to the wall. It was a bit clumsy, but he was able to get ontop of it, albeit with difficulty. "Ok... Who wants to try this?!"

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex looked down the hallway and squinted seeing two figures running towards the doors Alex's heart skipped a beat and he quickly ran towards the wall. "There they are! They're coming out Thirteen so get down to the other side they're fine!" Alex stopped and looked back to Three as he approached. "I'm game, just drop me halfway down I can take, what? Ten feet?" Alex stood and held his arms a bit out from his side, not sure how Three would need to grab him to get him up and over.

[Lavender_Stripes]

"Someone might need help! One! Two!! I'll help you over! Hurry!!" She crouched, her arms outstretched to help anyone up. She tensed her legs, her shoeless paws gripping the edge of the wall and preventing her from falling. Thank goodness they're okay, she thought as she waited with bated breath.

[shkkf]

Three landed down on the floor and looked over at Nine. "Just hold on. I'll do my best." He said, before trying to lift himself up with his wings. It was one thing to do it with his own bodyweight, but another person, especially an android type, proved to be rather heavy to lift as it took the cat a lot of effort to even get halfway up.
The feline started to pant but was able to eventually get up on the wall, avoiding some of the barbwire by inches. "Sorry... about that." He panted more as he folded the wings. "Give me a second to catch my breath!"

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex swallowed nervously as he felt the extreme discomfort of watching the earth drift away from his feet. Looking back to Three he saw the discomfort on his face and felt his chest tighten. Once up to the wall Alex crouched carefully and gripped Three tightly with his free paw. "I'm not pushing you Three, just take your time, we're no good to anyone as stains on the ground. Alex dropped the bundle of clothes to the ground and watched them bounce an inch and thought of how his body would react. "Like I said, halfway down should be good my clothes should be enough to cushion the small fall."

[Lavender_Stripes]

"C'mon, c'mon! We gotta go!!" Thirteen looked over at the two males, her heart pounding against her ribcage. She felt as if she would fall apart at any moment, like no matter what she did that she couldn't be of use. Why even have her there? Her tail curled against herself as she glanced around, trembling. They had to move. They had to go, and fast. She needed something, anything, to alleviate her tension. Her medication was beginning to wear off due to the strain on her mind, and the others' thoughts slowly crept back into her brain. She started trembling, fearing more and more as seconds ticked away.

Four has been standing away from the goings-on, his head placed firmly against the wall. He shook it slightly in disbelief. He had thought the plan was stupid before, but what had happened between Three and Thirteen was enough to convince him that it was a complete lost cause. If they were going to do something as ridiculous as getting away from the facility, then there was no way that they'd be able to accomplish anything while dealing with this kind of madness. "Just forget it..." he said quietly, to no one in particular.

[Lavender_Stripes]

"FOUR! You get your mechanical BUTT UP HERE before I come down there and end you myself!" Thirteen hissed, her arm extended. She looked as if she would cry, trembling to herself. Not from the cold, but from fear. She didn't want to lose anyone. Not now. It was so close, and they could actually make it if he just listened to her! "Please!!"
