"It would be my pleasure." Cora replies. "Will you be staying here, and would you mind telling Static to go invisible? His glow may attract some rather unwanted attention."After figuring out the appropriate details with Rotech, Cora sets off after the men. Unsure if I need a Stealth roll cuz we all have Dead Silent, but I made one anyway. Rolled 7 on Stealth for Cora and 8 for Lena;-;

Rotech nodded, " Yeah, I'll be staying here. Static, follow her invisible" With that static turned invisible and followed. Stealth check of 12 for Static

Zenith's eyes narrowed as the man began to laugh, but he didn't say anything, waiting for him to finish. There was some useful information in what the man was telling him, although it seemed very biased. He could assume that Finnigan was very prideful, which was something that could possibly be taken advantage of, perhaps more by someone like Siren than him. The most important fact he learned was of course that this operation was just preparation for something more. What on earth is this First though? Perhaps one of the other heroes would know. Cora wanted to know what the middle-man had said anyway. At the last event though, Zenith was stumped. Though his mask made him look impassive, he was actually staring, a little open mouthed. What exactly just happened? He wondered. He shook his head. It was over, that was all that mattered, now they could go and support the others. Then Siren decided to check the booth. Zenith shrugged and followed her silently. They might find something useful after all. Perception to find stuff in the booth: 3

Siren You take a quick moment to check yourself, but you feel no different than you did a few minutes ago. You think that what he did wasn't meant for you, but you can't be too sure. After a minute or so of waiting, nothing has changed. It seemed that the man had truly vanished right before your eyes. As soon as you open the door, a thin layer of dust flies up from the desk. It only took a moment before it all came back down to the ground. It seemed that this entrance wasn't used often, or that a guard was even posted. On the desk you can see a dimmed, green button and a piece of plastic. You are reasonably sure that the button opens the gate. The plastic card appears to be a security card, but you aren't sure what it unlocks or accesses. Jojo The pair seemed to more at ease than before, clearly you were helping them calm down. The girl seemed more interested in rubbing the top of Emily's head, her mother on the other hand silently watched as the three thugs were loaded into the back of the car. The younger man, Greg seemed to have a bit of trouble with the fat one, but he quickly found his stride and loaded him in. The older one, Marcus merely watched, taking a few quick puffs before turning towards you. As if needing no other words, he follows you out of earshot of the victims. His weary expression didn't change when you told him about what happened. He quietly sighed as he looked at the car. "I see..." He muttered before he turned his attention back to you. "Thanks for letting me know, I'll mention it in my report." He added, before reaching for the door. "And don't worry, you did what you had to do, given the circumstances." He said, before letting out another sigh. Just before he opened the door, you could almost see a small 'spark' in his eyes. Letting go of the door, he straightened up and looked at you, making direct eye contact with you. "You... Wouldn't happen to have any information you could share with us?" He asked, adjusting the collar of his coat as he waited for your response. Cora Luckily it seemed that the thug with the cold was making a lot of noise, the two don't even realize they were being followed Cora, Lena or Static. The one without the cold was looking rather jumpy, and you could hear him blaming Zigzagoons under his breath every time a rock was kicked, or a Murkrow cried out into the night. You followed them for a good five minutes when you began seeing more people. The area was almost dark, except for the light coming out of the warehouse. From what you could tell, several burly men were busy carrying out boxes towards a boat. Based on what the previous thugs mentioned, it was highly likely that these boxes had Pokemon inside them. The vessel looked rather nice, nice enough that it shouldn't be here in these crummy docks. It seemed that it was business as usual for them, and that they weren't on alert. Based on the little view you got, you think that there are still more inside the warehouse. If you're moving closer to the entrance, it'll be a stealth check thanks to the light coming out of it, otherwise no roll required if you're just skirting around.
Roll Perception to see if you find anything interesting. Zenith You find nothing but dust and a switch with a green button, Siren seemed to have found something though.

Cora's brow furrowed as she saw the men. She had been hoping there would be nothing there, just some wild goose chase a thug sent them all on to prolong his own chance to get away. He had been correct, though, and she couldn't stand here doing nothing. She began to think of a plan, and the first step would be to alert Rotech. Not knowing quite where Static is, Cora simply looked behind her, and began to whisper. "Static, please go tell Mr. Rotech that we've found the warehouse, and get him to come here. Lena, darling, I'd like for you to see what's inside of that warehouse. Go invisible, and if needed, phase through a wall or two. Let me know if there's anything dangerous in there, such as weapons, but more importantly, if there are more Pokemon." She explained. Cora herself stayed where she was. It would be foolish to rush into battle without her newfound ally or without the knowledge of what she was fighting. Cora's Perception: 6 Lena's Perception: 8

Rotech smiled seeing Static come back. Static wasn't injured so that meant she'd found the place. With a quick move he nodded to Static, and followed his way to where Cora was, Static leading the way.
The minute she came into view, tapping his phone a couple of times he sent a location pin to all of the other heroes. A small message on the bottom saying, 'Found the spot we think. Attached pin is location.'.
With that he looked around the corner at the warehouse turning on his inferred vision, "See anything?"

"Well, hello... what have we here?" Siren waved a hand to fan the dust away from her face for a moment before picking up the card. "Hmm... I think that button goes to the gate, but maybe we need this to unlock it? Or... something. Do you suppose Rotech might have a gadget that could read a card like this?"She held it up to show Zenith, then squinted out the window of the booth at the gate, trying to see if she could spot a card reader there. "Or maybe it's for the warehouse itself. Let's take it along for now, anyway. Whatever it's for, it can't be safe to just leave it lying around like this."And right about then, she buzzed. That would be Rotech's message. She quickly shot back, Be there soon. Found a card here. Might need it to get in?Perception (in case I need it to spot whether there's a card reader): 10!

Zenith looked at the card and shrugged, a small motion to him, but a rather powerful one to anyone looking at him. "Yes, probably best to take it along with us," he said. Then someone messaged him via his phone. Rotech most likely. Zenith was about to message him back, but Siren was much faster and so he put his phone back. Zenith stretched for a moment, working out all the kinks in his body from combat and preparing to possibly plunge into combat once again. All seemed to be alright and in working order. But... what if it wasn't? he wondered if the middle-man's last action - his hands glowing with energy - had done something to him. He thought back to what had happened. Eventually he switched back to the present. "Well then, if our business here is concluded, let's start making our way towards the others," he said, looking at Siren. He began to walk towards to location pointed out in the message. Occult Ed to figure out what the middle man did (I know this was a while ago...): 9

With the three thugs handcuffed and put away into the officer's car, Jojo showed an relief expression. Observing as the police was about to leave, Jovani swore he could have saw a small spark in the older officer's eyes. Seems Marcus' intuition is spot on when he makes direct eye contact with Jojo and questions the burly man. "Truthfully, I wasn't the only vigilante tonight. There were others who also came to help the lady and her daughter." Jojo begins, believing the older officer, Marcus, is trustworthy. Perhaps it's because of the spark he say the man's eyes earlier, or it's the man's posture and years of experience. Whatever it was, Jojo believes Marcus can be trusted. Not that he believes the police precinct is corrupted, but rather trusting Marcus as a man, and an office of the law.
Moving closer to the officer, Jojo mentions for Marcus to come closer, or to close the door so the thugs wouldn't here what he has to say. Looking around to see if there's anyone else hiding to listen in on what he is going to say, Jojo leans in and begins to speak in a hushed voice. "This isn't a random act of crime, but is rather an organized crime on a larger scale. Someone going by the name, 'Finnigan', has been gathering every crook and low-life from Brown Street to Emerald Road. He has them collect every Pokémon they could find. Which is why those three targeted the two ladies over there." Jojo gestures with his head towards the mother and daughter, the latter rubbing the top of Emily's head.
"Apparently Finnigan has the men bring the kidnapped Pokémon to a warehouse near the Wharfs. I don't know what Finnigan is planning, but the Pokémon are to be shipped out tonight. Which is why the other vigilantes aren't around. They saw that the Pokémon is need of rescue." Jojo shakes his head in displeasure, disgusted at what this big shot is doing. "I don't know where the Pokémon are being shipped out to, but do hope the others is able to rescue the Pokémon in time." Jojo stands back up to his full height, looks to the mother and daughter pair, before turning back to Marcus. "Apparently Finnigan is suppose to be connected to some big shot Mafioso or something. Whoever he's connected to, it seems to be the cause for the sudden raise in crime."

Lena: The little Shuppet had no trouble getting into the warehouse. As the ghost floated around, she kept an eye on the workers. Their pace was picking up, and were moving a bit faster than before. There were about eight workers, three of which held weapons. Before the ghost could examine the area further, a voice shouted to the men below. "Oi, herry up and get the goods outa here. I'm not paying yous to slack off. Cappiche?" The man shouted, as he walked into view. The man was rather short, barely reaching five and a half feet, with a belly that extended outwards, not unlike the thug Lena saw. The most striking feature was the eye patch on his right eye, along with the several scars across his face. It looked like a wild Liepard just went to town on his face. He was wearing suspenders, with a checkered brown and black shirt. A red tie was loosely tied around his neck. Taking a moment, he pulled out a cigar from his shirt pocket and lit it up, taking a moment to enjoying the flavor. A moment later, a taller woman appeared by his side. Compared to him, she looked much more ready for a fight. She was covered head to toe in armor, with a mask that covered her entire head, save for her silver-looking hair. On her back was a gigantic hammer, with an end that was almost as big as the man's belly. "Sir, allow me..." She said softly, before coughing into her hand. "MOVE IT, OR YOU'LL REMAINS WILL BE IN THE HARBOR!" She shouted, with an commanding tone that exceeded Zeniths. Unfortunately, the thugs looked a little confused at first, but followed her command to pick up the pace. "Next time doll, yous gotta coat your threats with a bit of charm. Make it seems like yous aren'ts really gonna kill thems" He said, before chuckling. Apparently he found her tone a little amusing. Aside from the exchange, the Shuppet found that they were almost finished with loading the pokemon onto the boat, judging by the number of crates remaining. Cora: The men seemed to be picking up the pace, and she could hear loud voices coming from the warehouse. Other than that, she didn't see anything. Rotech: You can see the heat signatures of the remaining pokemon, looks like there are about ten or so left. From your angle, you can clearly see the heat signature of a round, short man, along with about half of the work force. Oddly enough, the woman isn't giving off much heat. Siren: You don't see a card reader near your location, it appears that whatever the card unlocks, it'll be past the gate. You are sure that the green button will open the gate. Zeneith: You thought about it for a moment. The energy the middle man in his hand felt dark, and it seemed to cause him to disappear. It couldn't have been a Ghost Step... You begin to suspect that he might have used Curse. On the plus side, you don't feel like you were the intended target of the curse. Jojo: Marcus pulled out a small notepad and a pen, and began to scribble down everything that you said. His expression remained unchanged as he wrote, that is until you mention Finnigan. His gaze sharpened, his expression told you that he knew of the man. Still, he continued to write down every bit of information you gave him. He seemed more interested when you talked about the operation, especially where it was being held. "Got you now, you bastard..." You hear him mutter, with a chuckle. Quickly he regained his proper tone, and put away the notepad. "Thank you, we've been running ragged trying to find some sort of lead. This might finally turn the tides, on behalf on the Emerald City Police Department, I thank you." He said, he looked a little more happy, now that he finally had something to latch on to. "You should probably join your friends... we'll call for a cruiser to pick them up." He added, before motioning his head towards the Mother and Daughter. "Greg, Get on the radio and call dispatch, we got a lead!" He called out toward his rookie partner. It seemed that your duty here was done, and that you should join up with the rest of them.

Siren sighed and glanced down at the button warily. "Looks like the card must be for the warehouse, or something else inside. I've let Rotech know; apparently they've found the warehouse. It's, uh..." She checked her phone again and relayed the location Rotech had sent. "I'll open up the gate and we can head through to join them."
She was still slightly worried that opening the gate would send some sort of signal, but there was no other apparent way through; she might be able to make it over the top, but she really doubted Zenith could, at least not quickly. She pressed the green button and hurried out of the booth to head into the dockyard.

"All to help Emerald City." Jovani says, he then feels the vibration of his cellphone in one of his pockets. "If you would excuse me." Taking out the phone, Jojo opens to see the message from Rotech. Closing his phone and placing it back into his pocket, Jojo gives Officer Marcus a nod. "Seems my friends may have discover the location of the warehouse."
Seeing has the two officers have everything handled, Jovani walks over to the Mother and Daughter. "Everything is alright now. The officers will make sure you get home safely." He smiles reassuringly. "I must leave now. The others may have found where the kidnapped Pokémon are located, and would need my help."

As Rotech looked in, Seems like there are.... about 10 pokemon heat signatures inside the base. Along with one strange shaped man and a woman giving off almost no heat signiture, and a bunch of workers. It looks like there moving the boxes. We need to rush in before they finish and ship off."
He tapped his foot,Is there anything we can do to stall a bit?"
He shook his head, it didn't seem like it short of rushing in. He looked at his companion and noticed Cora's heat signature was lacking, "I think one of them in there can do the same thing you can Cora...... Your giving off a similar heat signature."
He scratched his head with a bit of a chuckle, "Which by the way what are you doing?"

Zenith had started walking away, only to realise the gate was still in his way, so he had made his way back to Siren, feeling a little embarrassed. He nodded at her thoughts about the card, not saying anything, since he didn't have anything in particular to add.
Zenith followed and then slightly overtook Siren as they headed into the dockyard.

After the exchange, Lena floats back to Cora, Rotech now standing besides her, becoming visible as she reaches the pair.
"I'll answer your questions in a moment, Mr. Rotech, but please, call me Miss Cora. Your information will be most useful in confirming with Lena about what's in the warehouse. You are correct in your thought that we should move quickly if we wish to stop this, but we must also confirm reports and plan our strategy beforehand." Cora replies, turning to face her Shuppet.
"Did you see the Pokemon?" Lena nods. "Are there people? Guards, perhaps?" Lena nods. "Were they armed?" Lena, once again, nods.
"It seems we've got our work cut out for us, Mr. Rotech." Cora comments, looking towards the docks. "A lady shouldn't tell her secrets so easily, Mr. Rotech. If we are to continue working as colleagues, you'll find out soon enough."

Rotech sighed, "I guess, it's just useful to know what people are doing in a fight. But your right, we do."
With a bit of a look around he started formulating a plan of attack, "Static, mind going out really quickly, and checking for how many exits there are?"
He then looked out, and tried to see if he could see somewhere where he they were transferring the crates to.
