Out on the street, the young girl who calls herself Mercy searches. Teleporting from place to place with flashes of light, she seeks what one might call her prey.
Suddenly a noise is heard. Not from the street, but from her own communicator. It's Nebula's voice.
"Everyone, I need you back at the HQ. Specifically, the brig. Get there as quickly as possible."

Mercy frowns as she touches down on top of a building after her last teleport through the air, turns, and reorients herself towards the Protectors HQ.
Before she vanishes in another flash of light, she poses a question over her communicator.
"What is it...er, sis? Mistora's not out, is she?"
Without waiting for an answer, she is off.

 The only occupant is Mistora. The controls to all the cells are accessable from both space O and U. The door to the rest of the HQ is at space G, though the control for the doors are accessable from both G and N. Which space do you appear in?

Mercy appears in space K and looks around, a bit confused if the expression on her face is any indication.
"Well...you're not free, for sure."
Immediately, she decides something's fishy, and takes on a more wary stance.
((Rolling for Notice. No bonus- poor Wisdom razz ))

You hear a small beep from the corner of the room where the door is, and a familiar blue glow surrounds the entire room. The same glow that prevents Mistora from leaving her cell is now preventing anyone from leaving the room.

Revenant uses his left hand to press the button next to the door almost the instant Mercy appears, locking them both in. At the same time, with his right hand, he adjusts the aim of his pistol, which was already pointed in her general direction, and levels it on her head.
"Hello there, Mercy." He smirks.

Oddly enough, Mercy didn't seem too frightened. Rather, she tilts her head at Revenant and frowns.
"You're just the man I've been looking for. That is to say, if you really are a man." She shrugs. "I guess it doesn't matter much though, does it?"

Revenant shakes his head.
"No, it doesn't matter at all. Well, let's get down to business. Since I'm a bit curious, and have a gun pointed at your head, I'm wondering how exactly you found out my secret."

Mercy manages a small smile.
"Well, it's two things, really. First, you're a terrible actor.
Secondly - I mean, I think it would be obvious by now, champ. My sister's telepathic. Wouldn't it run in the family?"

Revenant shakes his head.
"The first one doesn't make sense because you never met Roary. Not to mention that you're the only one who seems to have noticed. The second makes a little more sense, except for the fact that there's no record of Jessica Hubert ever having a sister. So we're all a bit curious where you actually came from... who you really are."

"We're all...you know, if I believed for a moment that you were still in contact with your superiors, I'd assume you'd already have all your answers. But no, I bet you're just reveling in your newfound immortality...stolen as it may be.
I know Roary MacNeilson better then you might think, champ. That face could never fool me..."
Her smile spreads into a razor sharp smirk, and she adds.
"Of course, getting down and dirty with the girl's mother is kind of low. And you really don't have any permission to be doing so in Roary's body, do you?"

"This body is mine now... to do what I will with it. And no, nobody at the Lab has any clue who you are..... except maybe Femer. But nobody can or ever will know everything he knows."
Revenant pauses for a second, thinking to himself.
"Oh, right... Does Nebula know? Your initial response implied that she does, but I'd hate to have to kill her, too."

"Nebula knows plenty...and killing me will be a big tip off to everyone else. Think for a minute...who else uses bullets besides the Revenant? Who else who can get in here, that is?"
She raises an eyebrow. "Of course, that's assuming you can kill me. Teleportation isn't all I'm capable of."

Revenant chuckles.
"With both you and Nebs looking over my shoulder, there's little good I can do here anyway. In other words, there's no reason to kill you, since I have to leave either way."
He pauses, looking like he might lift the gun from it's position.
"No reason, of course, other than that I've been given permission, and I don't like you."
He pulls the trigger.
[+16 ranged (+2 from aim) 3L damage]
