The Impact:Bloodbaths, and boats((closed to Ember, and Da Boss))

Ivan scanned his teammates casually, he had been paired with the group under seemingly random pretenses, he looked the young boy up and down "Just a kid" he thought to himself "What the fuck would the military need a kid for, ain't cut out for war" he continued in his mind, a little dismayed, he guessed he couldn't deduce what the boys powers were and so couldn't tell if the kid belonged here or not, he brushed it off.

A sidelong glance allowed him to size the woman up, she was an older woman, though still young, in her thirties Ivan guessed, she was stunning by all accounts, though Ivan felt only a slight stirring of desire, nothing to cloud his judgment, never anything to cloud his judgment, that was his way, he couldn't divulge much from the glance so he decided to just keep his eyes on the clouds in front of him.

Ivans chin perked up an inch, did he? Yes. It was. The telltale hiss of hydraulics failure, Ivan had heard it before, too many times by his count, so he knew all too well what was going to happen next.

The aircraft wobbled in mid flight, Ivan took a moment to brace himself against the helicopters hull, sticking close to the side by the opening, he had to wait till he knew what direction the chopper would fall in so that he could know which way he needed to jump. The copter slowly leaned forward, beginning its nosedive, Ivan took the chance to leap out of the doorway into the open air before it started spiraling, so he'd be clear of the blades.

Ivan free-fell through the air, the wind rushing past his face and tearing at his clothes before he finally slammed into the water at full force, though his instincts and training allowed him to take the perfect position to cushion his impact and so a few moments later he swam back up to the surface with minimal effort, as he did so he noticed the young boy burst from the depths and slowly make his way back to shore, Ivan made his way there just behind the boy, he scanned the surrounding brush of the swamp, he knew they were being watched, could feel it, but he didn't want to run off into the dense fauna, he turned and waited for any sign of the woman, keeping alert to what dangers might be watching them.

Ivan piped up, strong and commanding in his tone, he was a military man and he knew how to take charge, this wasn't his first walk in the park and he knew it wouldn't be his last, but the way things were happening he had to act quickly.

"We have to stick together, at least until we know what we're up against, I'll take point, Ive had military training so id like to ask if you'd all follow my lead and we might just make it through this, yes, we all have powers, but whatever this is it was apparently a big enough threat that they had to bring in every superhuman and his mother, so stay quiet, stay low, and don't fall behind ok?" He glanced at both of them to make sure they got the message before he spun around and stalked off, following his own advice and advancing at a slow pace.

The display was more for theatrics, he knew they were being watched, he knew there wasn't much he could do about it, but he wasn't about to let whatever it was that had them under surveillance know he was onto them, he kept a constant watch on the brush in his peripheral, keeping his sights focused on the metal walkway in front of him to allay any suspicion, his thoughts shifted to his partners, the woman had some experience, he could tell she was a spitfire, but Ivan guessed that the sudden crash and unfamiliar situation had at least kept her from arguing with him, he was glad for that, the kid on the other hand seemed a bit off, maybe he wasn't used to seeing blood, or dead bodies, or any situation like this at all, but Ivan could tell he was definitely wrestling with something.

He stopped a few paces from the bend that would bring them around the corner of the shore, they were currently on a series of catwalks jutting out from the swampland that formed a dock of sorts, it rounded the edge of the shore but the rest couldn't be seen past the dense plant life "Ok, if we're going to be working together we're going to need a knowledge as to the extent of each others powers, as for me I have enhanced physical capabilities, my strongest point is my combat prowess as well as my dexterity and reflexes, as you know most normals can have those abilities to, and as you also know im designated as a super, not a normal, you can guess as to the extent of those capabilities" he finished with a slight smirk, he waved his hand low in front of him, signaling the others to take the floor.

Ivan thought for a moment before smiling "So we've got yin and yang, alright, i'm going to take point if nobody has any objections, Sean, you take second on account of your durability, Scar you take rear, keep your eyes behind us and provide support" he slowly edged around the vegetation and, satisfied that the coast was clear he continued towards the dock "By the way, My name's Ivan" he said over his shoulder, loud enough for the others to hear without any strain.

At the end of the dock was a small boat, it looked as if it had seen better days, the handrails already rotting in the inhospitable swamp climate, Ivan quickly hopped on board and undid the rigging as the others filed in, in a moment they were off, coasting towards the Oil Pumps, after a moment of searching Ivan finally looked up to Sean "Think you can steer us towards those pumps? There's no oar" almost immediately they oriented straight.

Ivan sat back against the prow of the small wooden craft as it glided across the murky water, he eased his tight persona a bit with a sigh "Your abilities are impressive" he said with a disarming smile "I didn't quite understand why they would group us together seemingly at random, but now I think our military is hiding just as much from us as these aliens, or whatever the fuck they are" he leaned forward a bit "Now that we're a pretty safe distance from the brush im sure you have noticed that we're being watched, whatever it is there is little we can do, but we have to stay alert" he finished seriously, then suddenly changed his tone.

"So since there's nothing we can do and we have a few minutes, what does everyone else think? I'd like to get some other opinions on the subject, plus if we're going to be working together for an indefinite period of time it'd probably be valuable to get to know one another, at least to establish a modicum of comfort amongst our little team" he finished before leaning back against the prow once more

The small wooden craft bumped into the stairs leading up to the catwalk that surrounded the pumps, Ivan clambered up quickly, talking over his shoulder as he did so "Well I had a pretty average childhood, joined the military, got my powers in a pretty cliche fashion and now I'm here" he laughed.

He waited till everyone had gotten out of the boat and were crouching beside him on the catwalk, he allowed everyone a moment for a ready check before he pointed off beyond the facility "See those plumes of smoke beyond the swamp here? They must be the other teams, I think our best chance would be trying to group up with them, whatever this is we'll have a better chance of going at it in numbers"

He regarded the pump facility for a few moments before he took a few steps toward it, turning again to face the other two "Alright, I think our first order of business will be securing this facility, it'll give us a nice vantage point, we also may get a taste of what exactly it is we're up against, everyone be careful ok? When we hit these doors im going to secure our immediate advance, Sean you fan out right, Scar you fan out left, lets try and stick together, also I need you to try and stay behind either myself or Sean considering that your the least durable, but first and foremost" he gave each of them a serious stare for a moment "Be Careful. We need to exercise the utmost caution until we have a grip of whats going on"

With that he turned and slowly made his way towards the back entrance of the facility.

Ivan stalked in slowly and surely, the others moving to their sides while he moved surely ahead, a small corridor is what faced him, which he inched down with the utmost care and caution, on the other side was a large break-room looking area, the light inside flickered on and off infrequently, but in the brief flashes of light he could see the place was a mess.

Body parts littered the floor, blood had been slung around the room as if some rabid animal had torn apart all of these bodies, a few things Ivan noticed almost immediately, one was that some body parts didn't quite fit, figuratively speaking, he could recognize which body parts should go where from the clothes etc. but some bodies were missing an arm and a leg, well not necessarily missing, as the body was technically missing all its arms and legs, and head, and intestines, but an arm and a leg wasn't anywhere to be found in the room, some bodies were missing heads, and some limbs were missing bodies, or some bodies were perfectly fine with the exception of a complete lack of internal organs, whatever had dismembered these men had harvested their parts for some reason.

Ivan didn't like this one bit.

He continued out of the room carefully, finding a set of stairs he assumed would lead him up to the control room and luckily his assumptions proved correct, blood streaked the walls everywhere he walked and the control room was in a very similar state as the last room he was in, it was no matter, he had seen limbs blown off before, death was part and parcel of the work he's always done, but this certainly was unsettling, he switched on the power buttons, restoring complete power to the facility, he flicked on the PA and called for the others to meet him as quickly as possible upstairs in the control room.
