The halls took on very relaxed tones as they ventured deeper into the compound. The guide made perfectly sure to swing them by a few of the child learning centers parents could take their children to. The apartments where very spacious and they had been allowed two. One for the boys and one for the girls. There was ample living and sleeping space for everyone between both rooms.

M-RQ 1 - First night

---

Sirens started to blare and red flashing lights spread throwout the complex.

---

Waya woke immediately, sweat had beaded up on her brow and she could have swore she heard a man screaming in her dreams. "Everyone up!" She shouted and pulled on her boots, there wasn't enough time to suit up, not if shit was hitting the fan. She threw her pillows at Liz and Maribelle to encourage them to rise quickly.

---

Eliza got up at once, smacking the pillow out of the air without even noticing it was a pillow; for all she knew it was an attack. She sat up at once though, rubbing her eyes as she steadied herself on her feet "Lets hope they haven't been caught?"

---

"That's probably what's happened." Waya said, completely forgetting that she could probably use her telepathy to figure out what was going on.

---

Maribel jolted and fell out of bed with a thud. Such a loud sound nearly gave her a heart attack. Getting up immediately, she went to slip into her clothes...hoping she would have time to.

---

"Dammit dammit dammit" Eliza grumbled, hoping into her clothes as quickly as she could. She hated it when they were surprised at night, usually meant they were either late or in their pajamas for the fight.

---

The twins leaped out of bed, "WE DIDN'T DO IT!!" they shouted before they realized what was going on.
"What the hell?" Jayden looked at the other empty beds to see that Junior and Jeremy were still gone. "That can't be good."
"Phinagin- get up!" Jaden shouted, even though it would be nearly impossible for him not to already be awake. "Waya is probably getting the girls together, let's meet them in the hall." The twins both went to Jeremy's body and swept him up into their arms.

---

Phinagin woke with a start, small spikes shot through his suit all over his body, and twelve inch blades shot out of his wrist. He looked around at the twins. "What the hell is going on?" he asked as the spikes retracted themselves along with the blades.

---

"No clue-" the twins said, now with Jeremy in their arms. "We should check up with the girls." Without hesitation, they headed towards the door but waited for Phinagin to open the door for them.

---

Rhydian groaned as the sirens and lights brought him awake. "Somebody better have a damn good reason for waking me!" He growled and reached a hand out at the siren emitter. He clenched his fist and the siren silenced

---

"I agree." Phinagin said as he got up off the bed. "Come on Rhydian." he said as he simply strode through the door. He figured with the circumstances right now that knocking would be pointless and a waste of time. "You girls alright in here?"

---

"Yeah!" Eliza shouted to them through the wall, pulling the last of her clothes onto her body. She was pretty sure that at any moment someone would come and get them, it usually happened like that in these situations.

---

Unfortunately Maribel had just slipped off her pajama shirt when Phinagin stepped through the door. She was in a pair of green undies and topless. Luckily though, she wasn't facing the door so the boys didn't get a direct flash...maybe a little side boob though. Maribel jumped and covered herself with her arms before dropping to her knees and scurrying behind the bed to grab her summer dress.

---

Phinagin saw Maribel in her half naked and diverted his gaze so he wouldnt see anything. As soon as she scurried away to hide, and it was safe to look again he did. "There are sirens going off and you all are taking the time to change?" he said in a surprised voice.

---

"Hey, you ever fought off an alien invasion in pajamas and slippers? It's GOD DAMN TRICKY!" Eliza said, straightening up "Anyway, we're not the only the security here any more!"

---

Maribel finally popped up from behind the bed wearing her summer dress and with a bright red face. She really hoped no one saw anything.

---

"Phin's right- you should just run out naked in fear." Jayden remarked, adjusting his grip on Jeremy's legs.

---

Phinagin simply ignored Jayden's comment. "Where's Junior and Jeremy. Well...Jeremy's spirit." he asked worriedly. It was not a good sign that they were still gone.

---

"Everyone shut up for a second I'm trying to find them." Waya had a very pained expression on her face. Until she fugured how to work her Dad's gift she was forced to search thre every local and awake mind signature in the surounding area.

---

"Catch the nuke, catch the nuke, catch the nuke!" repeated over and over again in Waya's head as Jeremy was flying along outside the window "Catch the- DAMMIT!"

---

As the attention went to more important matters, the blush on Maribel's cheeks faded. As a new member of the team, she had no clue that things like this happened all the time. Although Maribel didn't want to admit it, she was scared.

---

Rhydian groaned, holding his head as he walked into the other room. "Now does anybody know what the hell is goin on?" He asked, looking toward Waya briefly. She was team leader, after all.

---

Waya's eyes snapped open as she heard Jeremy in her head "Oh god... someone fired a missile!" And without hesitation she threw a pillow at one of the lamps, making it quite a bit darker in the room. Using the shadows she enveloped the group and shadow-ported to the closest shadow near Jeremy.
