Some of Nicky's black ops team (and Aaron) have been sent to the Ukraine! There's an important prisoner being transferred deeper into Empire territory, though the identity of the person has been yet to be determined.
The sheer amount of security, however, is enough to suggest it's someone of great significance.
Nicky's team is in an apartment three floors up from the street, while a convoy is making its way past. Six vehicles are passing by in the street, with twice that number of soldiers walking alongside them.
Aaron waves at anyone other than Agent Young who's there, smiling briefly before his expression goes serious again. Of her team, if anyone is present, he's only met Agent Tiao personally, though he knows all of them by reputation or any affiliation with them his folks have.
He's been trusted to come out here, so he's determined not to let Agent Young or the others down.
Valencia is sitting on the floor, legs crossed. As if meditating. She gives Aaron a blank look. She feels uncomfortable about him being here... Torn even. A part of her wants to promise him that she'll try to save him if necessary, as she's prone to do, but the way she works doesn't allow much room for liabilities.
She looks focuses back on the floor, listening very carefully to the world around her. Centering herself. Aware of the fabric of reality, not yet charging.
Part of the point of him being here is to show he's not a liability, so if he knew what Val was thinking, he'd be torn between appreciating the concern, and being somewhat insulted. He's not quite as scared as he probably should be.
For now, he waits for word from Nicky, keeping an eye on the convoy himself. Those commandos, he's read about them, one was part of the attack on the school that started this war. Can his shadows deal with their force fields? Unsure. The scout model kicked his ass pretty thoroughly, even if he did get in a couple good hits.
"It'd be easier to know who we're looking for, but I can try."
Stupid spells... That's right, we're gonna use the one that's like a broken GPS: Clairvoyance. She focuses on her query... Lead us to the vehicle with the most important prisoner... Lead us to the vehicle with the most important prisoner... Lead us to the vehicle with the most important prisoner...
Distraction, stage one: without leaving his spot near Nicky, Aaron tries to generate a big ol' cloud of darkness ahead of the convoy! It'll swirl and twist around and start lifting into the air, aiming to get the soldiers looking up at it and not at the vehicles or buildings!

A swirl of frost hovers above Nicky's hand as she watches, gathering up energy before opening the window and throwing it down at the back half of the convoy. She was going to freeze every soldier and car back there to gain a few moments.
Fourth car? She'd only need a second to get in and out.
In slow-motion for four seconds, Aaron keeps up the cloud but switches focus to the vehicles' shadows, extending spikes up into the tyres of the ones Agent Young doesn't freeze so they can't try to drive off!
Nicky easily freezes six of the soldiers at the rear solid! The trucks start to drive forward, though the front two slow down from their tires being popped!
Keeping the cloud swirling above and around the remaining soldiers like a matador's cape to occupy their attention, Aaron tries to spike the fourth car's tires! It'll be easier for Agent Young to grab whomever's in there if it isn't moving around.
Valencia sees two of the remaining unfrozen soldiers are heading towards the fourth truck, while the driver is starting to get out. Two of the ones in the front lift their hands up to their temples, as if switching something on!
To take advantage of and add to the chaos Val creates, Aaron shoots tendrils out from the cloud, aiming to grab the soldiers approaching the driver and fling them away, high into the air and off into the distance! They'll live, if their force fields are on or they can switch 'em on before impact, they'll just get tossed far away from the convoy. That's also why he leaves the driver alone!
Chazz leans back from the palm, before reaching out to grab at Nicky!
The soldiers don't seem too bothered by the bees, as they can't get through the fields of their armor. However, the two who had been touching their heads suddenly point towards the apartment Val and Aaron are in!
The driver lifts his hand, and a pulse expands outwards from him. The bees shimmer, then fall apart, and the darkness does as well.
It feels like they were cut off, to Val and Aaron.
