Constance tried the phone in the office of the warehouse she and Kevin were hiding in while he was out getting supplies.  It was working!

Dialing a number she bit her lip hoping that he'd answer.  She didn't even know if he was using that safe house.

"Erik, I've run into a little trouble.  They're dead..." She sank to the floor the realization fully hitting after everything else that had happened in the past month.  "I escaped Hydra, have one of their projects with me.  We're in Alaska, ten miles south of Anchorage, I don't have chalk with me.  If they find us I'm useless in a fight.  They damaged the seal I use to activate the Alchemy."  She was watching the door from where she sat on the floor. Right now this was the best he'd get for her asking for help.

"I know," he admitted reluctantly. He didn't care. Not even that any child they'd have would probably get the ice and the machine like he did. He was an asset, he didn't have feelings. And he had a mission to complete.

[brotherhoodeirk]

Erik nodded as he glanced around using what tactical skills his possessed to work out their next move. The plastic bullets told him he was just as much a target as the others, in fact he had a feeling they had planned for this from the start though he couldn't confirm it outright.

"Do what you need to do," he told Constance, "I sense metal somewhere in the group...if I can get my hands on that or get us to the lodge we have a better chance of fighting them off."

[alchemic_waves]

She tapped the seal she had made on her pants with the complete seal on her wrist. Water shot out from the ground around the three of them writhing like snakes, weaving themselves into a wall. The wall started extending towards the lodge, the strain making her stumble more, the four foot thick wall stayed in place though, she was hoping that it would slow the bullets enough that they wouldn't hurt.

She ignored her bloody nose for now. She'd have a killer headache later. She collapsed, the pain in hr leg from the bullet too much.

[coldburn]

The asset swallowed as he watched the wall of water form. They'd told him that she could control water like he could fire but he'd thought it would be like this.

He caught her as she fell turning to Erik again. "Go. I'll take care of her."

[brotherhoodeirk]

Erik glanced at the two young people saying so much without saying anything at all and then he's gone into the trees ready and willing to hunt. He meant what he said that he could fight without using his ability as screaming and shots are heard from far away as the man called Magneto protects his friend.

Constance would have fought Kvin if she could put weight on her leg.

"So... what are you doing with me? Handing me to them... Or helping me escape? Because I will drown us both if I see any of them come close." Her control on the wall around them was probably the only thing keeping her from screaming at the moment, and it wouldn't be hard to bend the wall inward on them, at least Erik would probably be able to find her in the water before it was too late, she doubted they sent more teams for the two of them.

Though plastic bullets, they knew I'd call Erik... The thought had her still a moment. She may have been the bait all along... The wall shuddered a moment, one of the men Erik hadn't gotten managed to slip into the barrier.

She caught sight of him and lifted a hand, a spout of water slamming into him, while another separated her and Kevin. Constance was thrown back a hundred yards by it, crying out when she landed on her bad leg. She quickly sealed the wall up around her, thickening it, making sure no one else was with her.

[coldburn]

He'd never admit it but he'd actually planning to help her get away. But the water threw him through the wall of water she'd made earlier. He landed, coughing water from his lungs. He managed to roll to his knees. He couldn't see anyone but the screams sounded a little closer.

[brotherhoodeirk]

Erik charged through the woods throwing one of the Hydra's men before him. His eyes are cold chips of fury as he pins the man to the ground and growls. "Go back and tell your masters that if you come after me and mine again you will pay a worse price then this." He then lets the man up as he stalks towards Constance and Kevin.

Constance was leaning up against a tree, about ten bodies littered the ground around her, some with sections of the trees that had been standing through them, others looked torn apart, amazing what damage she can hide with one of her 'spells' when she wants to.

Hearing the footsteps she tried to move the water one more time, but it was clear she didn't have the strength to even move her hand to create a new sigil, the water surrounding her was about a foot deep, and cold, She hadn't willed it away, hoping that the could would help keep her from bleeding out. "I don't know where he went off to. I tried throwing him so he wouldn't get hurt." She was shivering as she spoke, trying not to look at the damage she had done. "At least there's no lake this time, it should slip back into the ground or to sea in a few hours..."

[coldburn]

Kevin was still coughing when the Hydra agent found him. He didn't protest anything when he was pulled to his feet.

"Where's your target?"

The asset shook his head, still coughing, and pointed at the wall of water. "Threw... me," he choked out between coughs.

[brotherhoodeirk]

Erik wrapped an arm around Constance to help take her weight off her injured leg. "We don't have time to wait for him," he told her softly, "we need to get somewhere safe and quickly. You'll die if we don't. And I'm not doing well either." The shows her several bullet wounds in his side and back. "They knew I was following you...I don't know how or why but they knew."

[alchemic_waves]

Shivering she leans against him.

"They, knew I was one of your people. Kept asking when they questioned me." She couldn't move her fingers without too much difficulty. "Next town is a bit far, either direction, might be why they let the two of us ..." Her sluggish footing caused her to trip on a tree root, almost spilling her back to the ground.

"I'm sorry, this is my fault."
