(( rofl, I love your sense of humor MC :D ))

It seemed Wolf was having trouble collecting himself to answer Jax... starting to speak and then stopping himself, sighing once... so finally Wraith leaned off the wall and answered for him. "Don't worry about it, soldier. I've been on the other side of a few of these... shit happens."

Jason finally snapped out of his reverie. "He's right, Jax. This wasn't your fault. We didn't expect a gunfight out of this."

Monk appeared behind his wife, eyes and fists at the ready. "What do we have here?"

M4 quickly took a step back from his old master... friend... in fear that he was going to be recognized. He hid his hands in the sleeves and walked behind Crow.

Odupe cut a little incision and resized the bullet hole so that he could get a look inside. He much rather have done an X ray search of the wound, but there was no time. What he saw brought about relief in dark times. The heart was still completely intact. "Ok people, it looks like we're going to be ok. The heart is..." that's when he noticed that the heart was in a pool of blood. "Shit! Stitch kit! STAT!!" The nurse next to him got a needle and thread while he barked orders and made the hole wider. "Get her some morphine in the IV drip. If she can feel what I'm about to do, she's gonna be pissed." He nearly threw the scapel back on the table as he prepared to stitch. "Get some suction in this wound, I need a clean area to work!"

A nurse did as he asked and got a tube into the wound. He watched as blood quickly filed through the clear plastic. "We're gonna need some blood in here!" Another nurse rushed out to achive that order. Once there was a clear route to the area he suspected was bleeding, he saw that there was a small slit in one of the arteries. "Here's the problem! If I don't do something quick..." then he realized he was talking when action had to be taken place. He thrust his hands into the wound and carefully stuck the needle into the vein and out the other side of the wound, dodging some of the squirts as the hole became more and more narrow. Careful... he told himself, a nurse wiping off a bit of sweat. He tugged at the needle a few times to make sure the string was tight, and the hole was in fact closed. "Blood Pressure!?"

"60 over 20... but it's not dropping anymore."

"Ok people, that's one minor miracle, but we're not yet done. Make sure that there's nothing I missed there. I need to move to the abdomen and make sure there isn't anything to worry about there. I'd like to use..." but then he realized that he was talking again when action needed to be taken. He applied the same procedure as he did to her chest, but to his consent, he found no major wounds, just an in-and-out shot. "We're lucky down here. We...?"

"Yes doctor. There's nothing to report up here. We've done everything we could."

"Stitch her up and make sure she gets that blood! God knows how much she lost..." The nurse that left before had come back with some blood/nanite solution that matched what Scrya needed. "Oh... and everyone..." The room hushed besides the heart monitor and the silent stitching of needle going through flesh. "Good job in here today. You all should be proud."

After another few minutes of stitching and making sure everything that could be done was done, Dr. Odupe stepped out of the ER in his blood soaked garments into the waiting room. Once he knew he had everyone's attention, he addressed them. "We've done all we could. It looks good, but we won't know until later tonight."

Jax let out a very large breath he didn't know he was holding. At least no one had died, and no one was going to die.

"Sir, all of the founding members talk about things called nanites. What are they, and can I get some?"

"Am intr'ested in that, meself."

Thomas spoke up for the first time since getting back. He had seen those nanites in action. With his gloves altering the software of his body in Cyber World, he already had the strength they had when on nanites. But if he had those things....his strength would be incredible.

"If you recognize my face you should realize i'm no threat to you, and my task is of the utmost importance, unlike my predecessors, I don't like the meaty side of the cyber realms much. They are to inefficient."

I put on my labcoat and science glasses
 

OOC: Explination Time!

BIC: Jason stood up a bit, and decided as best he could explain the nanite thing.

"Basically, when I and the others refer to nanites, we're referring to specially designed nanobots that exist within us. Basically what they do is repair wounds, heighten strength and reflexes, enchance vision, and help your immune system combat various toxins and diseases. I, along with my former CO Jade were 'early adopters' of the technology in order to allow us to fight off first Mastermind's System Agents, and then elements of his First Order when we encountered them as well. Eventually Devin had his nanomachines reactivated from his days in Red Cell, Kaitlin got nanites to help protect members of the UN Security Council, and Scrya, being former First Order herself, was also augmented in the same way. Basically the nanites gave most of us the edge we needed to help fight off Mastermind's attacks and finally defeat him.

But...don't think that nanites are a cure-all to anything, they carry a cost with them. Using them too much can burn them out, or leave you weakened and tired. Also, EMP blasts will take them offline for a while and leave you feeling drained. So you may be stronger, but you are by know means invincible."

he summed up. "We could probably requisition some augmentations for both of you though, if you find it necessary.

Jax shrugged.

"It's not neccesary, but I figure that if the sniper game falls through then I should have a fall-back. And, as it stands right now, I'm carrying at best a long-gun with less ammo than I should. I'd rather not find myself up close and unarmed."

The LA information terminal looked exactly like the LAX of old. Here people and large blocks of info were transmitted across the expanse of cyberspace. They even made the data bundles look like jet liners, to make people feel more confortable.

A man in a trench coat carrying a brief case walked into a bathroom near a class of 34 catholic students. Soon the class of 35 students, was led by a gaggle of penguin like nuns to the security check point. Each child put his book bag in the scanner, and walked through a seperate scanner. it was the 35th child that the sirens went off on. The kid kicked the security gaurd in the chest and grabbed his bag.

A screen at the terminal flashed "Virus Detected! Coyote Virus. AI. Wanted for Murder, Terrorism and Sedition. Terminate on Sight."

Coyote looked back and saw three individuals with hearts of darkness.

"First Orders, shit." he swore under his breath. Coyote turned into his Anthropomorphic form, he felt most powerful that way. he gestured at the wall. "Badaboom!" The wall exploded out onto the tarmac. Coyote dodged the hail of gunfire and leapt through the opening. He landed on his feet, and hit the ground running. He snagged a leer jet shaped data packet with what appeared to be an heiress and her rich boyfriend making out in the cabin.

"Sorry folks change of plans." he slammed his hands on the controls and the jet vanished in disapeering pixels.

"Jade... Ma'm." M4 took a step foward towards her, to which he was met by Monk's fist. In a flash however, he caught it and tossed it aside, and blocked the punch that was soon coming for the opposite side of his head.

This staggered Monk a bit, but he quickly came back with another attack, and was blocked by a similar attack by M4. Actually... much to his surprise, he was blocked by the very SAME attack he was throwing. Monk took a quick step back and glared at his opponant, "Who are you?"

"I am... a friend. I good friend of yours. Who I am however is not important, my partner and I have a very important message to get to Jade..."

He turned his hood to face her, "Please... we do not want any harm. If you check the guards, you will see that the ones that have been attacked are mearly knocked out. No lethal force was taken to get here. Please... it is essential we get this message to you."
