Highlight’s grin grew slowly across her face. “I love a good firework show!” Nix elbowed her in the shoulder and signaled for everyone to quicken their pace.

Dynamite turned and smiled at the girl with green and blue hair. Maybe she would keep that one in the observation area. The rest would go in the room below with her creature circling around the cage. Or maybe in with the creature...No, she wanted to have fun before they died.
Owl followed from the trees silently.
A lone figure dragged the unconscious body of a man away from the soon to be exploding forest. She would have to make sure he stayed asleep for her plan to work.

Stinger’s expression grew worried as they followed this insane woman. She tapped Nix on the shoulder and whispered, “What are we doing, do you really want to get captured AGAIN? The first time was not very fun, and it took us like 5 days to wipe those numbers off our arms! I still have some ink on it!” Nix bent down to whisper back, “I don’t trust her, but we have no choice. We can’t lose our family again.”

Dynamite knocked on a tree and whispered something. A door opened in the rock and she motioned for them to go in.
Owl watched curiously before climbing up the rock cliff to see what there was on top.

The hybrids walked into the dark lair. Stinger being the most sensitive of the group, was terrified of what was going to transpire. Would this be just a friendly invitation? Or an invitation to our death.

Dynamite followed after them and stopped at a staircase, then turned and examined the group. “You, you, and nope that’s all,” she said pointing to the wolfish one and the girl with odd hair. “Come with me.” A grim looking figure appeared behind her and frowned at them, motioning for the others to follow him through the darkness. Scars and burns covered his features and his clothes were torn and plain.

Nix jumped in front of everyone, baring teeth and unleashing claws. “Grrrrr!”

The man jumped back in fear and held up a key in defence.
Dynamite sighed and rolled her eyes. “Will you stop with the claws doggy? You should know I have someone with bigger ones that can easily hurt some of your friends here if you don’t comply,” she snickered and nodded to the two gleaming eyes in the shadows, watching them.
Owl continued to climb.
The lone wolf dragged the unconscious body of the human into a cave and onto a bed of moss. A stone bowl of water lay next to it with a leaf full of berries. Then she sat back into the shadows and waited for him to wake up.

Nix looked at the girl with an angry expression, “First off, I’m a wolf! Not a dog! Huge difference! Second, I will not be separated from my family again. Either you take all of us, or none of us.”

Dynamite snorted and shook her head amusedly. “I was trying to show some honor to the leader of my guests, but if you wish, I can let Mike here take you with the others to the cage and the other girl can come watch the fireworks,” she said in a mock-defeat voice and picked at her nails. The man, Mike, gulped and looked back at Nix with a worried and horrified expression.
Owl finally reached the top and checked her invisibility before walking over to a large glass window and peering in.

Nix saw the worried expression on the man’s face. She had seen this expression before, many years ago in the woods… when she first met Jake. The expression of horror and worry, but also concern and compassion. Nix had to make a decision, go with Highlight… or go with the group. Stinger walked up to Nix and said, “Go with Highlight, I don't want her getting into trouble.” After saying this, Stinger made a quick wink. Nix knew what she had to do. She looked up and said to the girl, “I will come with you.”

Dynamite smiled evilly and walked up the metal stairs, her boots making a loud clank as they hit the metal. Once at the top, she opened a door and motioned for them to walk in. The room beyond the door was lit by the sun as it came through a large glass window. At the back of the room was a library with many chests made of cedar and a desk with a lamp. Straight ahead, was another door, barred with metal bars and chains. “Make yourselves at home!” she said and looked up at the high, dome shaped ceiling. Bats fluttered above, going in and out through small holes.
Mike lead the others to a circular cage with a hole at the very top to let in light. The hole, some 200 feet above the floor, was also barred to prevent people from climbing or-- he looked back at the girl with wings--flying. Unlocking it he motioned for them to go in, his expression regretful.

Highlight looked around the large room, a grin growing slowly across her face. Despite her being a goofy and kind person, she is easily distracted by anything that involves explosions.
Nix on the other hand, is just worried for the others. She glanced around the room and quickly asked the girl, “who are you anyway? And why did you bring us here?”

“Most call me Flaming Dynamite,” Dynamite replied distractedly as she let out a whistle. At her call, a scarlet macaw fluttered over and landed on her arm, squawking and nuzzling her. Looking up at the wolfish girl, she added: “I don’t like to leave unexpected guests to roam my lands.” With her macaw on her shoulder, she walked toward the window and looked out, her eyes narrowed and a look of expectation splayed across her face. “How sad. The line got wet,” she said and then pulled out a small black detonator. At the push of the button, a large portion of forest went up in fire and smoke.
The wolf snorted and hit the human’s face with her paw, before going back into the shadows.

Xavier woke up, rubbing his head with confusion. He looked around the cave wondering how he had gotten there. “Hello!” He yelled.
