Chicago suffered a meltdown. After clearing the area, getting Isadora to an ambulance, and luring the Agent to the Chicago river, Felicia allowed her fire to go out of control.
The resulting heat did caused to the girls teleportation glitch, the mix of intense heat the teleportation quantom mechanics sabotaging her control. She glitched uncontrollably in the space, screaming in agony. The fire interceptor still noticed a pattern in her disorganized jumps.
Felicia grabbed the tormented girl by the neck, catching her as she glitched back into this dimention. She slammed Splitz into the ground from a great height. Not even fully noticing that she could fly.
She had no qualms leaving burn marks on the child’s neck, and gave her a hard backhand in the face to finally knock her out. Without so much as a glance toward to amassing firefighters and public servants, she bolted toward the one place she knew could hold the child.
The sound of a smashed window, and the internal temperature spike was enough to capture Kiera’s attention.
The cafeteria, which was adjacent to a roofless patio, became the landing pad for Pheonix, who was still ablaze from her previous fight.
Her orange hair was out, the metals of her suit burned away.
Fire licked at her skin, and her balled fists were the smallest indicator of her plight. Kiera noticed the body dragging behind her immediately.
Another Agent.
“What happened?” Kiera asked.
“I’ll tell you what happened. We’ve entertained the humanoids for too long.” She said as she tossed the unconscious girl down.
“Where can I put her? She teleports.” Pheonix said annoyed.
Standing in the midst of the East Coalition’s meeting room, Phoenix declared, “We’ve been on the defense for so long, I think we’re forgetting that the best defense is offense.
We’ve forgotten that this is our home.”
The interceptors from the East were in the midst of discussing Phoenix’s demands.
“Can we do a full-scale attack?” she asked.
The room broke out into a deep discussion.
If the Peacekeeping couldn’t make it through, how could anyone else make it?
Any technology that had been sent through to investigate the portals had its signal cut off, and no one had developed anything to fix that yet.
It was the reason for Rebecca Moss’s manual expedition in the first place.
“Does your mother have any insight into this? How we can succeed where the Peacekeeping failed?”
Kiera opened her mouth to answer, but her phone pinged with an emergency signal.
Pierce, knowing she was in the meeting, had texted her: You need to come see this. It’s the Agent.
Kiera knew if Pierce messaged her during a meeting, the matter was serious.
Kiera made a frustrated noise.
There were too many things happening at once.
The rest of the interceptors were still arguing.
Sighing, Kiera said, “My engineers will look into the Peacekeeping’s failure.
If we find out what went wrong, we’ll proceed."
Phoenix nodded at this.
“There’s an emergency I have to handle,” Kiera finished before dismissing herself.
