Karaoke night

She felt concerned at the tone of his voice, deeper and more aggressive than normal, it had her gut drop. Her normal reaction to a party would pick a person to chat with for an hour and then leave. She needed a bit of time to breath. 

She walked towards the doorway hoping that the Alligator Mutant would follow her. She started a quick topic for him to be 'drawn' to as she walked away from the party.  "Well, I'm not an ideal Genetic Splicing partner, but I do find that area of topic fascinating. What has your conclusion been with the radiation side of the mutantions..."

Maybe when the alcohol kicked in she could go up for a song... or dance.

Leatherhead smiled, and they found a fairly clean side storm drain where they could breath the some what fresh air filtering down through the grating and let it cool them. The big male gator subtly drew in deeeeeep sloooooow breaths that no human ever could, slowly reigning back in the instincts that had threatened moments ago to boil over in a territorial display of his brute power.

His sexual prowess.

Now he was calming down. Feeling the haze subside. And her light chatter reminded his intellectual mind of what they had been chatting about. "Well the mutagen itself is a organic substance so there has been little to no radiactive interference that would or might lead to infertility in the offspring or cause diseases like a super cancer in any one whose body has mutagen... and that may go for the mates of mutants... every coupling after all will have a exchange of fluids and micro organisms, and mutagen too. in micro levels of course. I don't know how this may affect the reciever of the mutagen... I have yet to finish the studies on the rats I have used." He smiles glad for the talk and her company and her fore thought to get them the heck out of there.

Leo put an arm around Erica's shoulder and started to head back to the lair. He tried not to lean on her too much, but he was a little unsteady on his feet. He was also aware of the state of her clothing and wanted to sneak her in the lair and to his bedroom before anyone seen, he had some cloths that she could change into.

He quiet on the way home, and opened the door for her. Then looking around, took her hand and hurried to his bedroom.

Well they made it to this non descript entry way wish Erica guessed might have been a side entry, maybe to avoid the crowd in the main room?

She smiled and walked slow with him, a few of the bites stinging where her cloths rubbed against them.

The 'ghost' was rounding a corner

And stopped dead in shock at the sight... His daughter... Her dress torn and dishelleved in thesome door way with a -

Mutant!

Had the mutant done that too her?!

And without thought the man was striding towards them, raising in his hand the small non descript looking tranq gun aiming the dart for the beasts unprotected neck.

Firing twice in rapid succession, but now he needed to reload... Hopefully the stuff would start taking effect if it pieced his hide!

He did not speak... Not wanting his daughter to identify him by the sound of his voice.

Leo was feeling horrible for what he did to Erica. Yes he was drunk, beyond drunk! But it was no excuse, he should have had beater control of himself. He should have not drank to the point of losing control, stopping when he felt tipsy.

Erica, I can't tell you how sorry I.... His sentence cut off when he felt the sting of two sharp objects hitting his neck.

He reached back and pulled out the two darts.

Quick! get inside! He ordered his mate before turning to see who the attacker was. But there was no one to be seen. In his inebriated state, the tranquilizers were hitting him fast.

His eyes grew heavy, and he had to brace himself against the wall to stand. His only thought now was Erica and his family. Someone had not only found him, but found him by his home. Someone knew where he and his loved ones lived...

It was his last thought before succumbing to the darts effects and falling to the ground unconscious.

"Shhh- Leo it-" but her soft attempt to sooth him was interrupted!

They had not even made it two hurried but staggered steps in this entrance when Leo was ordering her inside! But she could not leave him!

What was wrong! Her eyes tracked movement, that's what human eyes were evolved for after all, but the movement she saw made no sense and her first instinct was to try placating whom ever it was and defend Leo. Maybe call for help.

"Hey... hey - whom... I can't see you - please dont hurt him." She says into the dark finding the little darts and picking one up to look. The drug would keep a turtle Raph's size down... a gator Leatherhead's size down... and Leo was already drunk!

She bent as Leo succumbed to the drink and drug, guiding him down keeping him to the side so if he vomited again he would not drown in it.

And this was a situation he thought he would never find - he expected his daughter to run, for surely she had been dragged out of the party by this mutant... He could hear the music and thought it was just a old subway maybe. A place teens came to have alcohol and smoke pot and sex probably.

He thought nothing else of the noise - he guessed the mutant had dragged her here because it was off to the side, no one was coming any time soon.

But watching her as he approached, watching the way she guided the very large turtle into a side on position and guarded him.

No...

Hank closed in on the pair and could tell she might call the others for help. He raised the gun and fired a bullet into the lean exposed area of thigh his free hand reaching to cup her face and silence any noise she may make...

and inside his helmet he sighs. He was not sure what was going on but - he had to get these two away from the noise and somewhere secluded to do a bit of interrogation.

Love had been released of the sleeping child by her father some time ago. Of course when ezekiel approached her she made attempts at flirting. The man though, had no interest, he simply wanted to take his daughter and lay her in a bed away from the noise and smells. Though he did thank her for watching the small child.

Now Love sat alone alone on the ground close to the lair's door.

She was thinking about leaving when the door to the lair opened. She looked up to see who was coming in, but instead her large ears picked up the sound of panic. She strained to listen to what was going on outside the lair, though the music inside was making it hard. But she knew she heard Leonardo's words.

curiosity getting the better of her she stood up from her spot and walked out the lair to see Erica and Leo on the ground...and some man standing over them.

Her eyes widen as she stood there not sure of what to do. She let out a loud hiss at the man. claws at the ready.

Get away from them! She yelled, hopefully loud enough for someone inside to hear. One step closer to an I will rip your beating heart from your filthy chest!

Erica did not understand, the suit the man wore...

Everything about him was hidden from view, she knew he was tall, she knew well built... but the suit covered him from head to foot and seemed to shift in the gloom of the tunnel.

Then there was pain, and the big hand across her mouth, muffling her, though she heard Loves voice -

As though from far far away and underwater, her eyes rolled and she slumped half over the turtle she was guarding.

And just as his daughter was growing limp there was another!!

Mutant!!

He frowns but does not answer the cat woman - his suit would repel her claws or teeth, he raised the dart gun with it's last shot of this round and fired at her chest.

Maybe he would get away from here with two mutants?

"guys pick up the pace I need immediate recovery, one civilian and two Xeno specimens one tranqed the other not, may be more civilians and mutants here" Hank spoke into his codec hoping his unit would respond quick, after all they where in town at the military base on work.

He pulled out a second weapon, this one an assault weapon, a Uzi, raising it threateningly at the cat girl, not speaking to her still watching the tunnel she came down and the entrance where the turtle and his daughter were out cold.

Love was soon hit by the dart! She stumbled back towards the lair. Her hand reaching for the dart and pulling it out. The man was speaking to someone, back up, they were under attack!

HELP! Love screamed as she fell to her knees half way in the lair's doorway.

Leo...Erica....attack.

It was all she could get out before she too fell victim to the darts effects, falling limp to the ground.

Hank sneered temped to firing the Uzi at the cat girl, but it could be that no one heard her over that music - and him firing would just draw more attention. So he waited in position reloading the tranq gun and keeping both level, checking his daughter and the mutant turtle in a glance, both where still breathing.

The cat girl had also said her name...

Erica knew these mutants.

"Martins... what have you got - holy crap..." Dom his also suited up leading the rest of the ghosts down. "mutants huh?"

"yes, need a retrieval on these three." Hank nods to Erica, the cat and the turtle. "and quick this cat squealed but the party goers probably didn't hear over the music, if we can get them out without alerting them we can come back another time for more mutants... this may be a hide out." Hank whispers back.

Anya stepped forward to take up point with Hank so the pair had the two ways covered with weapons, the rest of the ghosts loaded the turtle and cat onto specialized gurnies. And began wheeling them away. Last Marcus pulled Erica over his shoulders and left.

Hank nods to Anya and she backs first the way they had come. Hank follows.

"This is so great! The possibilities of young ones later on."  She smiled as the alcohol started to filter into her face. "I think a species of mutants could be better understood. ... maybe a new species in a few 100 years. It's rather odd to think about the future and its probabilties." Her nose tickled and her hardened face from a stressful job and nervousness from being a big group of people seemed to slowly melt from her face. 
As the tension eased she heard a noise. It wasn't loud but it sounded like shouting. "Is someone getting in trouble for their party antics?" She asked, referring to the party they left a few moments before." Are you feeling better now?" Their walk had left them to a side tunnel to get air.

Don was more than ready to get away from the noise of the party, but then another noise caught his attention. He frowned deeply. Something was very wrong. Don told Tiphanny to wait while he checked it out, but then heard shouting and the lair door flew open.

"What the...?!"

Then his eyes widened as he saw his brother passed out on the floor. "Leo!" Don grabbed his staff and hurried towards the door. He made it out the door, but it was too late. At his feet, Don spotted one of the darts and picked it up. Thankfully it was only a tranquilizer dart. A noise got his attention and he looked up as his brother, Erica, and Love were all getting dragged away by some masked group of people. Don let out a growl and his eyes narrowed as he shouted down the tunnel to get their attention.

"Hey! What did you do to them?!"
