Rebecca ignores the unimpressed bird with an equally unimpressed expression. She's curious to see if there are any crows closer to Matt and his shadowy target than just above them at the bean.

Another crow lands on his shoulder, dips its beak into his ear and nabs his comm! Some of the gathered citizens turn to stare at Murdoch as he yells at a bird! The crow looks him square in the eye and shakes its head, refusing his demand. Unimpressed Bird flies over and perches right on Becca's head, as if in a show of dominance. Or just trying to irritate her. It now counts as closer to Matt and his target! There aren't any crows on ground level, but she spots several on lamp posts or benches. "Even animals?" Schall's eyes dart around the underside of the bean, and he tries to conceal his alarm as he spots Becca with a bird on her head! Lowering his voice, he tries to ignore the crow staring at him and focus on Matt. "This is an odd request, but I need you to stay within ten feet of me, and keep your voice down. I have a power, one that can keep us from being listened in on - for a time, at least." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Rebecca scowls and waves the bird off of her head, stopping as she does so. "Obnoxious brat." If it doesn't move on its own with the shooing, she'll try to force it off!

Unimpressed Bird's response to Becca's shooing is to start pecking the top of her head! "Crows? That is worse news than you would believe. For us both, Agent Stevenson." Schall goes pale, muttering to himself, before resolving to get to the point. "My power is the ability to create a 'dead zone' up to ten feet across in all directions from myself. Nothing outside the field can monitor anything inside the field - anything they see or hear, they forget, any electronic recordings fail. As far as I know it even works on telepaths. It takes great focus, though, and people get suspicious if I leave it up too long. But if I use it, here and now, we can talk." He looks side to side, as if checking if any birds are there! "The being that attacked your agents underneath my prison is watching us right now, through those crows. That's why I wanted to use my power." « Last Edit: Jan 7, 2016 2:16:08 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Rebecca reaches up, grabbing the bird by the legs and jerking sharply to remove it from its perch. "Such a cute little birdie," she coos as she holds onto it, keeping it at arms length for now. "Does birdie want a hug?" She's not letting go if she sees red eyes. « Last Edit: Jan 7, 2016 2:22:23 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Eric Phillips Hero Intelligence A man of many hats [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 5,490 Shady Chicago!

He'd open up a portal under his feet and the other agents and the targets to drop them all into the Nexus, closing the portals behind them as soon as they were through.
