Gia didn't really enjoy Jing telling her things she already knew, but his question made her face soften. She hugged herself, as it suddenly became cold for her. She couldn't remember much, and it made her glance toward Gunmax. She then looked back at Jing, "I-I don't know, okay? I don't remember everything." She confessed at last. "And yes." She gave him a short smile, then turned. It was nice to be noticed, but still, they didn't even ask who she was.
Gia pointed her ears forward when Alpha-7 entered. Something about the girl made her cringe, and she guessed it was because of the attention she was given. Was she that vain? Gia had to reconsider how she was acting and why it mattered. The woman slid down to her knees and put a hand to her head, she had almost forgotten how painful it was to remember. She tried her hardest to make sense of this personality, these needs she had, and this calmness around a situation she would normally be flipping out over. She bared her teeth at the pain and lowered herself toward the floor, a ringing in her ears making it harder. She did, however, see glimpses of the past again. Concentrating was helping ease the confusion, but also intensifying the headache. The dimmed lights helped, but she still couldn't remember. There were flashes of the people from before, and one in particular holding her hand, maybe her father? But then she remembered another hand holding hers, one that was warmer to her, but cold on the outside. She wanted to remember whose it belonged to, and where she had seen it before, but the pain became unbearable.
She stopped trying to focus and instead just held her head, her breathing slowed a bit as she tried to calm herself.

Raven breathed heavily as she heard Gaara- Belles - voice coming threw. her form cracking a soft smile"That..has to..ow.. be the worst.. impression.. ow.. ever Belle.''she'd say shakily. "I'm glad You two are here.. " She'd cling to Kenoko like she would her own kids. "At least let the kids go!" Shouted Raven as she tried to sit up but Clung to Esme for support. "They've nothing to do with this.'' she'd eye Alpha -7"Their merely children...please..'' she'd say softly her eyes waling up in Tears as she looked at Esme, praying her kids would not have to deal with this. When did she become motherly? Well, having children changes you. big time.

Esmeralda had to laugh at least a little bit at Belle's imitation of Gaara. It was kind of amusing. Although most of her focus was on the medical supplies that Gun-Max had given them. Was this real medicine, or was it laced in poison or something that would make them even weaker? Was there a reason why they would want the people in here well? Raven seemed to be doing slightly better, although she still needed Esmeralda's support just to remain steady. "How do we know this medicine of yours actually works?" she asked Alpha-7 as she eyed her suspiciously. "How do we know this isn't just another way to make us weaker and keep us in here longer?" While she didn't want Raven to suffer, she wasn't about to accept anything from these people unless she was sure it was safe.

The only trace of a smile Belle could muster appeared at Raven acknowledging her. "Impressions never were a strong suit," she giggled dryly. The lights dimmed a bit, which meant another was coming in. Alpha-7; the young woman who had begun the whole freakout. Raven began to beg for the children, which made Belle furrow her brow. All Raven had talked about was the wellfare of the children - and while Belle agreed, she knew they wouldn't listen. After all, Belle had filed it in her complaint form. "Enough, Raven," Belle gave her friend a hardened look, speaking to her silently; "They WANT you to be begging," he hazel eyes spoke, "don't give them that. I know it's hard, but we can't let them have power." While Esmeralda asked Alpha-7, Belle check the medicine in her hand performing a scientist's waft. "Nothing seems out of the ordinary, Es," she said. Then again, the back of her mind echoed, I;m a human with no super-smell. Maybe I am missing something. "How long will these 'experiments' take?" The question spat out in a tone not many heard from Belle; anger.

Alpha-7 looked over the group, her eyes briefly landing on the younger ones. She felt sympathy for all of them, even if it seemed unlikely to them. For the sake of their well-being, she'd have to find a way to keep them calm.
She kept her hands up as she continued talking with them, "I can assure you, no one's going to be harmed here. The medicines we provided are genuine, and no one is going to be experimented on. You've all been brought here for questioning. As long as you cooperate with us, there won't be any trouble."
"We'd also appreciate you not going nutso on us while you're here," Gun-Max added.
Alpha-7 immediately turned back at him, shooting him an annoyed look as she slid her hand horizontally across her neck, signaling him to be quiet. She then turned back towards the group, knowing full well they probably didn't believe her in regards to the medicines, or anything else she told them. But, that was no reason to give up just yet.
"Trust me, the cell you're in at the moment is designed specifically to negate any all magical properties of any being trapped inside it, as well as contain even the most powerful of creatures," Alpha-7's vision panned across the group as she spoke, "we don't need to poison you to keep you here. So, for the moment, I'd recommend for all of you to remain calm, and be patient."

Raven sighed deeply." So as long as we cooperate.. no trouble? Who say's any of us will tell you anything?" Said Raven who was breathing pretty heavily, she'd narrow her eyes at Gun. "We live life the way we want to, not as its expected by others.'' said Raven, nodding at Belle. She seemed eager to kick their asses for taking her away from her children.

Esmeralda sighed. It looked like they had no choice but to just sit here, for now. She wasn't about to let her guard down though. If these guys tried anything funny, Esmeralda would defend everyone here, magic or no magic. "Come on, there's no use talking to them," she said. "They're either not going to help us or they're just going to flat out lie." She glanced at the cots near the back of the room. "We'd better get you lying down on something somewhat comfortable," she said to Raven. "Lying around on a cold floor like this won't do your body any good." She slowly helped Raven to her feet, trying not to make her injuries any worse.

Jing was fine ignoring Gun-Max and Alpha-7 until they mentioned not being angry and not going nuts on them. He swung around, incensed. "Seriously?! Remain calm. You crash mine and Hotaru's wedding, kidnap me, negate everyone's powers, make my arm lame again in doing so and then you try to say sorry by giving medication and trying to placate us?!" He grit his teeth and walked as far away from Gun-Max and Alpha-7 as he could or he'd probably really hurt himself trying to break out specifically to throttle the two of them.
Jade snorted and nodded at Esmeralda. Her advice was sound. She stretched her hurt leg out as she lay down, the beds located in the cell looking too small for her. She released a large puff of warm air and folded her paws, resting her head on them. "The littler kids can snuggle with me, I might not be able to breath fire, but my sides are still warm from it"

Molly frowned and had to agree with Jing about not getting angry. "You ruined a very special day. One that meant a lot to someone special. You have no right to ask us not to be angry. I would say that you are nothing but cowards." Where had that spark of anger come from? She wasn't sure but she had to say what she felt. "We are not your toys that you can do with as you please. So, give us one reason why we should believe anything you say."
Maybe she was hanging around too many tough people but if there was one thing she knew, the little girl was not going to be pushed around.

Of course they wouldn't care what happened to Gia, she knew they only seemed to care for their own and she wasn't one. She felt sick and alone, so she tried to calm herself. The medicine was Cirque Mystique's, and to Gia, they wouldn't care if she died anyway. The glum thoughts were rather disheartening, so she brushed them aside. She regained composure over her headache and stood to her feet. They couldn't be blamed too much, they didn't know who she was after all. Then again, would they even care if she did.
The others seemed bent on sleeping, but she doubted that would give her aching mind rest. Gia walked closer to the edge of the cage, farthest from the cots so she was away, then set down. She smiled at Molly's brave words, "You got guts kid, you staying awake with me?" She wondered.

"I've been knocked out for hours. I'm staying up with Molly," Belle replied, helping Esmeralda hoist Raven to a cot. Her inner rage boiled. How dare they use a wedding as an excuse to capture people minding their own business? Even better, what exactly did they need these "experiments" for? Clearly not medicine. The bright pink jewel in her engagement ring began pulsing like a heartbeat, even adding radiant warmth. Taking notice of her inner anger being transferred into the gem, and remembering what Belloc had taught her, she closed her hand around the Agniastrate. "I'm okay, Duncan, she thought, For now. Just...keep yourself safe."
"And I agree with her," Belle remarked, "what kind of people barge in and lock people up? We couldn't have had a PEACEFUL way of talking this out?"

Raven was helped up onto the cot her form growling at them- with out magic, she felt weak- she felt..vunerable; but she'd have too use her hands and feet if they wanted out o fhere- she'd need her mind as well; as she looked around she looked for possible escape measures.

Their reactions all flew by so quickly, Alpha-7 wasn't sure how to answer them all. On the other hand, this wasn't entirely unexpected. They were angry, afraid, and confused, but predominately angry. A part of her wanted to explain that the fact they attacked on a wedding day was purely accidental, that it was just coincidence. But they probably wouldn't have believed her. How could they believe her? They were in a holding cell, and she was the warden of their prison.
"Just...just don't...hurt yourselves," Alpha-7 managed to say after a brief struggle. She felt her face begin to break its emotionless shell, and turned just as a troubled look began forming. The last thing they needed was a sign of weakness.
Gun-Max couldn't help but react to Alpha-7's face; if she was feeling conflicted, then that was most certainly a bad sign.
"You okay, Supergirl?" Gun-Max asked in a hushed voice.
Alpha-7 looked up at her friend, and quickly shook her emotions off, "I'm fine."
Just as she said so, the doors opened once again, and a new figure entered the holding area; a pungent smell of musk wafted into the room upon his entrance.
"Mr. Stark," Alpha-7 said, doing her best not to breathe through her nose.
"Alpha?" Tony asked, "I thought you were supposed to be-."
"I set up a cot in here," Alpha-7 answered, gesturing towards her cot to the side of the computer console, "I hope you don't mind me sleeping while on the job."
Tony didn't answer at first, staring inquisitively at her for a moment, then glancing at Gun-Max for confirmation.
"I can stay here with her," Gun-Max spoke, crossing his arms, "I mean, if that's what you're wondering."
Whatever concerns he might have had, they appeared to be assuaged as Tony gave an approving nod to both of them, "So long as you don't strain yourself."
After giving Alpha-7 an assuring pat on the shoulder, he made his way around her, and towards the cell, rubbing his hands with anticipation, "Now then, let's get a look at our guests, shall we?"
Alpha-7 and Gun-Max hung back a ways while Tony got closer to the cell, his eyes immediately locking onto Esmeralda, "You must be Esmeralda. A pleasure to finally meet you in person. Though, I must say, your photos don't exactly do you much justice."
Alpha-7 began scowling at Tony upon hearing his comment; no doubt, she knew exactly what was going through his head at that moment.
After greeting Esmeralda, his focus quickly switched to Jade, "Well, you must be the one they call 'Jade'. I must say, you've become quite an impressive specimen. If I'd known Project Muerta would've yielded such promising results, I wouldn't have been so dismissive of the scientist who proposed your creation in the first place."
Tony then took a few steps back, scanning over the entire group, "I certainly hope my team has treated you well. You'll have to forgive their lack of manners. They're competent, as mercenary groups come, but sorely lacking in the social graces."
Gun-Max let out a soft 'humph' as he took a spot in front of the computer console and began leaning against it. Alpha-7 remained stony silent.

At least Raven wasn't hurting as much. That was good. Although Esmeralda had to smirk at the bold words from the others. "Bet you're regretting taking us now, huh?" she said, giving a taunting smile. "Kind of dangerous, keeping a bunch of spitfires like us in one place. Who knows what we might do." Maybe if they aggravated these guys enough, they would get mad. And when people got mad, they were more likely to make a mistake. Although there was also the possibility that they might do worse things to them. Esmeralda could take whatever they threw at her. It was the others she was worried about. However, somebody else came in to greet them. Esmeralda didn't know who he was, but he certainly seemed to know a lot about her. And Jade as well. She snorted when he said it was a "pleasure" to meet her. "Sorry I can't say the same thing," she said, crossing her arms over her chest. "Attacking a wedding and throwing us in a cell doesn't exactly give a very good first impression, you know?"

Jing nodded when Molly agreed with him and moved to sit beside her and Gia, smirking slightly. "I don't sleep much at night anyway, I'll stay up with you two and make sure nobody gets taken in their sleep" He looked curiously at Gia. "I don't think I introduced myself, I'm Jing. Most people call me 'Bandit King' but you're free to use Jing" He chuckled. He leaned over to look at the new guy and rolled his eyes. "You. I've seen you on the news. You owe me a honey moon"
Jade's ears went up and she looked around at the new human, her eyes widening a bit before she snorted. "And you're Tony Stark. You should see me when I'm human" Her voice was soft and bitter and she immediately moved behind Belle, resting her head on her lap. The fact that her suspicions were confirmed that she was in fact technically a part of this place cut far deeper and hurt far more than she wanted to let on. She felt intensely unhappy again and squeezed her eyes shut.
