It's early evening at Paradigm Academy. Most of the agents are still off fighting the war in Europe, but there's been time for others to come home and see their loved ones.

Overall, it feels like it's been a pretty wonderful day.

What are people doing?

Matt pulls his bike into the garage, stowing away his helmet and jacket. With the war ongoing overseas it's been relatively quiet here. To a trainer that would seem like a welcome break, but that was only half of what Matt was.

The other half was a secret to almost everyone else. His second, secret power came with its own backlashes. Without anyone to unleash upon, the tension in him continues to build. He's just praying for release before it implodes on him.

With a sigh Matt closes the garage door, locking it up behind him on the keypad attached.

Fredegund is on her way back to her room from a good day practicing her shooting with Gun. Gun was hanging off her back. She greeted the tree she passed by.

"Hello, Mr. Tree."

For once, Rebecca had mixed feelings about the quiet. It meant she was in a type of space she enjoyed, but it also meant no updates. So, surprise, she went wandering along ampus to take her mind off of things. She recognized familiar faces, but they were few and far between.

Catching sight of Matt, she waits for him to turn around before casually lifting a hand and letting it drop back at her side in what's probably the friendliest greeting he's gotten from her yet.

Matt sees it, giving a small nod as he starts walking that way.

"Hey, Becca." He gets a glimpse of the girl talking to trees out of the corner of his eye as she gets a much more awkward wave.

"Hi...Fred."

Enya's walking up to the gate because she went to visit her loved ones. "Loved" ones?

Parents!

Fred turns toward Matt and Rebecca with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Steveson, Rebecca. I just came back from practice. What are you all up to?"

"Hi, Fred." Rebecca smiles and waves at the younger agent, taking in Gun when practice is mentioned. Target practice? Talk practice? Eh, didn't matter.

"Not much. How was practice?"

Matt nods and is happy to avoid answering Fred's question as Becca seems to do so. The movement of Enya heading towards them from the gate catches his eye, but he doesn't spare her much more than a glance unless she catches his eye. Then he'd wave or something.

"I LOVE PRACTICE!"

Gun shouts, even though the only person who hears it is... Fred.

Two black Humvees and a trailer truck are approaching the front gates from the street.

She gives him a smile when she catches the glance, but otherwise seems more preoccupied with struggling with the gate and whatever manner of lock is has.

So she tries to push her herself through the bars.

"Heheh."

Of course now Humvees are showing up so it's kinda awkward.

Fred chuckles at the enthusiasm no one else can hear.

"Target practice went well. Gun had a great time, and I've been making steady progress. After a break, I was hoping to study more languages."

She turns to the gate and squints at the Humvees and truck approaching.

Alas, Gun's enthusiasm goes unheard. The sound of the gates rattling as Enya pushes herself through does not, however, and Rebecca finds her roomate-friend-again pushing her way through. She goes over to help when there's apparently the sound of vehicles.

"Enya, stop being popular." It's affectionate accusation as well as hope you really don't believe in. She more interested in getting her friend on campus at this point.

"What the hell is she--?"

Matt cuts himself off as he sees the vehicles. Was there an appointment he forgot about? He tries to think of anything that might have been on Paradigms schedule.

She's got a leg and half her body through but it's a tight squeeze, even for a small, skinny girl like her.

"You think it's for me? Wonder who it is!" she grins, watching the cars, but grateful for the assist in getting through this thing.

She probably wouldn't do this again. Bars kinda hurt.

There's nothing scheduled for such an amount of vehicles!

Enya can make it through the gates with some help!

The Humvees park a fair distance away while the truck turns, so that the back can face the gate.

Enya's eyes light up and she smiles wider.

"Ooh! I saw this on The Walking Dead! They're about to bust down the gate and let loose the zombies!"

She starts bouncing. So exciting.

"What could those be for, I wonder?"

If those Humvees were theirs, they wouldn't need to stop outside the gate.

That doesn't bode well.

Rebecca would probably love zombies more than what she thinks they have on the truck. Maybe. Not.

"Ooooooooor they could have guns." She starts trying to pull Enya, bounces and all, further back, but can't help looking to see what's coming, herself.

Matt was already frowning, but frowns deeper at Enya's comment. Not zombies probably, but Becca was onto something.

"Maybe you girls should step back..." Matt tries to move himself in front of the group, trying to get a better look.

The back of the truck opens, and men with rifles start sprinting out, firing towards the agents!

Matt hopes he takes most of those bullets! He probably goes down.

With Becca already in the process of getting her away from there, Enya just follows her lead as she walks backwards. At least until the bullets start flying.

She quickly pulls Becca onto the ground with her, starting to crawl for a bench!

"Looks like I was wrong!"

Fred runs for the tree for cover!

She unslings Gun. She was scared, but she had to keep it together.

"This was bound to happen... The academy was bound to be attacked... Gun, I'm counting on you."

"I recognize tho- SHOOT THEM, FRED!"

Matt goes down to some yellow beams! Goddamn, do they hurt!

Enya and Rebecca are safe for now, but the sight of this man charging out of the truck and towards the gate suggests that their safety won't last long.
