"Nothing is True and Everything is Permitted"
➵Lucy Xiao Long➵
Sleep did not give way easily to wakefulness for Lucy. It was like trying to claw one's way through a pool of molasses. She was vaguely aware of the seat vibrating underneath her and the loud hum of engines, but her eyes refused to open and her body refused to move. She had no idea how much time had passed. It could have been minutes or hours as she fought the darkness and clawed her way to the surface. Finally, her eyes cracked open and Lucy found herself staring at strangers shackled to airplane seats, at the wrists and ankles. Like her, they were slumped over, though she could see a few eyes cracking open. Strangely there was a collar around each of their necks, yet it didn't appear to be attached to anything. That collar would prevent all of the deviants on bored from using their powers to escape, as Lucy would soon find out, but not quite yet. She was still too drugged out to attempt using her powers. She didn't manage to sit up though and get a more proper look around. There was ten of them all, in two rows of five facing each other in the smallish plane. On either end sat a guard in full tactical gear, an AK-47 resting across their laps. All around a storm buffeted the plane, causing it to shake and dip with turbulence. Lucy hardly paid that any mind though. "Hey!" She shouted towards one of the guards. "Who are you? Where are you taking us!" She demanded. A helmeted head turned in her direction, but nothing was said in response.
How long had she been out? Days, hours, weeks? The Aussie didn’t know and her head was pounding. Finally coming to Jessica looked around she could see others but what shocked her was something was missing. "Mates... be a good one... and return my gear." She didn’t care for much, just her armor. Without it, even in the color, she felt warm. Small beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead. "Help... a... girl out?" She'd look to Lucy, tilting her head. "Don’t I know you?"

Nova Primrose Powermouse "She may be small, but she is mighty"
Everything was a blur, Nova was coming to very slowly but surely. Her eyes opened quite a few times as she faded in and out of consciousness, "Wh-" was all she could mutter before her head rested back, as she tried to make it comfortable she could then feel something wrapped around her neck making it impossible for her to rest back against what felt like a chair. Nova listened to the noises around her, she could hear - "Am I on a plane?!" she yelled, as her eyes sprung open and her fists instantly went to rise upwards. Nova let out a groan in pain as her wrists were brought straight back down again, they were shackled to the chair, along with other people around her.
Nova began to really panic, her breathing became sharp, she became lightheaded as thoughts raced through her mind. "No no no no!" she yelled, as she looked to the ceiling and closed her eyes. "This is all a dream, you are going to wake up in a minute Nova and everything is going to be as it should be -" she said, as she waited a few seconds and opened her eyes, <********> yelled Nova as once again she opened her eyes to a scene she never wanted to be a part of.
Nova's panic began to turn into a scared, terrified look. She began to cry, "What's happening?" she said, feeling tired and weak. "I just want to go home.. take this power away from me and just send me home!!" Nova said, becoming more angry by the end of her sentence.
Looking around, she could see two other females awake, she was unsure if they had said anything or been witness to anything, but she needed to get out.

Anastasiya Volkov Varpulis
Anastasia was woken by the sound of a female voice yelling. Something she was most unhappy about as she cracked open her eyes. Her annoyance only grew when she sat up only to realize she was shackled to a chair in what was clearly a plane. The guards were watching the panicking Nova.....or at least their black helmets were turned in that general direction. It was impossible to tell what they were looking at specifically. However, much like with Lucy's question or Jessica's comment, they didn't respond. In fact, one of them said something rather particular. "They are all awake." If only Anna could hear herself think.
"Quiet!" She snapped, in her heavy Russian accent. She lashed out with a blade of air to silence the irritant. Or at least she tried to, but nothing happened. She carried on as if nothing out of the ordinary happened though. "They won't be sending you back home. Even a child could see they didn't go through this much trouble to just to send you back home." Anna looked down the row. One she recognized from the Dominion. There could be others she didn't know given the size of the Dominion. Another she recognized as a Providence agent. The rest were completely unknown to her.

"Nothing is True and Everything is Permitted"
➵Lucy Xiao Long➵
Lucy gave the girl with her raven hair cropped short a confused looked. Both because she was certain she had never seen the girl in her life, but also because they had rather bigger problems at the moment. "Not that I know of." She answered, more or less brushing off the question. Their captors had ignored her question completely, and Lucy had no idea what to do next. She turned her head as another girl work up, this one panicking, and Lucy could hardly blame her. She felt her own anxiety rising. Lucy soon found herself glaring at the red headed woman though. "So we should just sit here and accept our fate? I don't know about you, but I'm at least not going to make it easy for them."
She didn't have much time to contemplate the situation beyond that, nor did Anna. There was an unfortunate banging sound, which was never a good thing when one was travelling in a jet-powered metal cage. Then came the unmistakable whine of an engine struggling. They dropped several feet before stopping, only to drop again. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise that they were all shackled to their seats as it kept them in place. The two guards were not so lucky. One had his helmeted head hit the roof with a sickening crack and fell limp. The other either got lucky or had the wherewithal to tuck his head in and had his shoulder slam into the ceiling instead. Alarms blaring in the cockpit could be faintly heard as the plane spiralled downward out of control. The guard who hadn't been knocked unconscious started crawling painstakingly towards the cockpit door. How long had they been falling? Seconds? Minutes? The guard reached the cockpit door and hit a button. All of their restraints sprang free. The helmed head turned back towards them. Then they hit the water.
As she fully came around, even with the girl saying no, she was a bit shocked. It wasn’t hard to figure they were going down and she took cover or at least braced for impact. Next thing she knew was water filling the cabin, swimming a little bit she made her way to the surface. Waves would toss the Aussie around but Jessica grew up surfing, waves were easy. "ANYONE ALIVE?" She shouted, slowly swimming to an island. It wasn’t easy in her armor liner, Jessica having a small difficulty as she went to what looked like an island. "Captured and now swimming..."

Arthur Anderson
Arthur had been put on the plane by as unfortunate circumstances as everyone else on the plane had. Arthur was a simple man motivated by simple desires. Money bought comfort and comfort made him happy. That was the logic that made him a criminal and unfortunately the same logic that landed him on the plane. His scientific bud had stabbed him in the back in the middle of a bank robbery and drugged him. Then he wound up on the plane. Then the plane went down. Then he woke up.
There was water filling the cabin around him and his restraints had just been released which caused his slumped, sleeping body to slam into the floor. That was what really woke him. Arthur heard someone shout out a question but his ears were ringing and too much was going on to tell what was said. The water was filling the cabin fast so Arthur took a deep breath and then swam down through the water and away from the wreckage. He could feel the collar around his neck disconnect and float off as he swam. The current favored them where the plane had landed and it made getting to the beach a bit easier. When he finally reached it he saw the other lucky few to survive the crash.

Both men seated beside each other hadn't awoken until the first drop of the plane that sent stomachs fluttering. Victor was awake enough to register what was happening, while Carson spent a bit of time drifting as the plane leveled for a split second and then dropped again. This time he was fully awake, though it was accompanied by a splitting headache. He had spent some time at a bar the previous night, and he didn't really remember much. If it wasn't for the sensation in his gut jolting him awake he would have just assumed he'd drank himself silly and was now suffering a rather severe hangover. Most of the people on the plane were struggling to get free of shackles, but if anything Carson thought it was likely the only thing keeping him upright. He actually managed to fall back asleep again for another few moments, before he felt water lapping at his pant legs. It was Victor who snapped him back awake next, though, urging him to get up. The shackles were now loose, and water was rapidly filling the plane. The pair of them found a way out of the plane, and managed to start swimming towards the only piece of land they could see. Victor managed rather well, but Carson needed a bit of urging -- he tended to steer clear of water for the most part, and had rarely had cause for swimming. When they finally made it to the beach, they realized that a handful of others had had the same idea. "What the Hell is this?" Carson sputtered to no one in particular. He didn't care for the rude awakening, and the splitting, groggy headache he had was making him feel extra moody.

Nova Primrose Powermouse "She may be small, but she is mighty"
Nova's eyes opened, for some reason she couldn't breathe. Her body felt light, and yet heavy at the same time, it was moving very slowly in circles. "W-where am I?" she thought to herself, as her eyes opened again. Instantly as she began to run out of breath, the panic set in and Nova began to squirm around under the water. "Why am I under the water?!" she questioned herself as she was almost knocked on the head by a piece of the plane she was in, she watched it sink to the bottom and then swam upwards to the surface.
Nova eventually made it to the surface of the water, in which she took the deepest and biggest breath of her life. She coughed up a bit of water from her lungs and looked around, she noticed some people were beginning to arrive on the beach and decided to swim over to it, her muscles still feeling very tired. As she arrived on the beach, she lay on the sand for a brief moment before standing herself up, fists in a defensive position.
"Don't come near me again!" she yelled, looking around at everyone. She didn't recognise anyone yet from the plane, they could be the bad guys for all she knew. She realised the collar was off her neck, and was ready to fight anyone who wanted to take her again. Nova was only young and immature for her age, she didn't understand what was going on and she was absolutely petrified.

Brian Lasting
Brian had slept through most of the crash, it was had always taken a lot to actually wake him and had he ever arrived at where ever they were headed he was pretty sure who ever had kidnapped them would have found it most aggravating. He opened his eyes and looked at the rising water, what would have filled your average assistant administrator with rising panic, Brian saw as an excuse to put all those hours of watching action films into action. He had joined Providence to work on the front lines, fighting Dominion at every turn and punching bad guys with his signature 'Roly-Poly Punch' it was hardly his fault he was out of shape by their stupid standards and really good at spreadsheets. He jumped up and then really wished he hadn't, the rising water threw him off balance and and he almost went under before he could grab onto the seat in front of him. He righted himself and grabbed the oxygen mask that was hanging over him, this was probably a mistake but unlike the other passengers that had swam past him he had no confidence in his ability to find the exit. He glanced around then shrugged and decided to just go for it, he took a deep breath using the mask and swam towards what was probably the exit. Luckily it was, he past several people still in their chairs and tried to motion the way out as he swam by, he would have tried to help them further but he was starting to see black spots in his eyes. He would later reason that it had been better to get out first and morn over their loss, than to drown trying to save strangers, this could be another reason why he had been delegated a desk job. He broke the surface and tread water for a minute or so before remembering that your supposed to use your clothes as a buoyancy aid if your lost at sea. Brian washed up on the beach, face down and trouserless, but alive, his boxers had little hearts on them.

Anastasiya Volkov Varpulis
One second they were falling, the next she was surrounded by water. Annoyance was the primary emotion Anastasiya felt when the collar popped open and sunk. If it had come off a few seconds earlier and it would have saved her from getting wet. She could only manipulate air not create it, but Anna had learned to be rather creative over the years. Following another's lead, she swam the short distance to an oxygen mask, but rather than breathe from it, she pulled the air from it to form an air bubble which she surrounded her head with. A small test proved her theory that it was, in fact, the collar that had been preventing her from using her gifts earlier. Satisfied, she began pulling the air from other oxygen marks, forming a second larger bubble, until she had enough to work with. It had only been a few seconds, but most of the others had already made an exodus of the fallen aircraft. The unconscious guard lay at the bottom of the sinking plan, weighed down by his equipment. Anna gave him up for dead. It would be a miracle if slamming his head into the ceiling hadn't killed him. Though she couldn't see the pilot, she felt there was a high probability he was dead as well, given he would have received the brunt of the impact. The left the second guard who was struggling in the water under the weight of his body armour. The He'd managed to get the helmet off and was currently struggling with the vest. He would never make on his own. Unfortunately for him, Anastasiya was about to help him.
She used the air she had gathered to propel herself forward, as well as the guard. Soon they were clear of the wreckage and she drove them upward. It was lucky the plane hadn't sunk very far or she would have run out before they reached the surface. Now that they had, she had an unlimited supply to work with. The guard sputtered and coughed, clearly disoriented, yet just happy to be sucking in air. Not that it would really matter if he was trying to fight back against Anna, or even if he was appreciative. The guard was as helpless as a mouse caught in a tornado. She created two powerful streams of air and lifted both her and the guard above the surging waves. 'A few seconds sooner and her hair and clothes wouldn't be soaking wet.' Anna thought bitterly and she flew the two of them towards the beach.
"Oh thank you! Thank you!" The guard exclaimed as soon as they touched down on the beach, then proceed to stumble towards Anna as if to embrace her. A cut suddenly split open on his cheek as if hit with an invisible whip. He flinched back, suddenly all wide-eyed.
"You can thank me by telling me who you work for," Anna told him cooly. If she was aware of the others on the beach, or even the storm raging around, she didn't show it.

"Nothing is True and Everything is Permitted"
➵Lucy Xiao Long➵
Lucy was lucky. Her abilities were one of the better ones to have in the current situation, and yet when the collar came off she didn't immediately swim for the exit. It wasn't very hard to find, seeing as everyone else was headed in that general direction. Well, everyone except two, though oddly Lucy didn't start swimming until both of them had left the plane. Enhanced strength and speed saw Lucy to the surface with relative ease. Other heads were bobbing in the water, disappearing as a wave rolled over them before popping up again up, all heading towards the island. The storm and the current almost seemed to push them towards it anyway. One individual was struggling though. The strange girl who thought she knew Lucy. Lucy swam over, though she was careful to stay out of grabbing distance of the girl. She had heard enough horror stories about someone struggling in the water latching onto their rescuer and pulling them under. "Hey!" She shouted over the sounds of the storm. "It's not far! Just keep swimming and you'll be on the beach in no time!"
The entire swim to the beach Lucy would keep encouraging Jessica to keep going all while making sure to keep out of reach of being grabbed onto. If the girl gave up and drowned anyway she would carry on without her, but she wasn't about to let Jessica bring her down with her. Last, to the beach, she couldn't help but chuckle at the male laying exhausted in the sand. Using his pants as an inflatable was clever, but the little hearts were amusing. She would have stopped to check on him if it wasn't the panicked shouting.
"Don't come near me again!"
"Hey, hey, hey calm down." Lucy told her.....well sort of shouted over the wind and waves really. "All of us are in the same boat as you, but if are going to figure out how to get off this island we need to work together." Honestly, if they were going to make it to the morning they needed some kind of shelter from the rain. She hadn't yet noticed Anna and the guard.
When someone else confirmed they were alive Jessica was relieved. "I use to Surf, the armor liner doesn’t do to well." Getting to the beach steam would start to come off her. Collar gone the solar heat began to build up. "Right mates... before you toss the shrimp on the barbie take a breath." Her accent very clear and present. Though with the liner she'd quickly open it up a bit. "Random island, bunch of deviants, let’s take ability stock and get names, probably powers too." Clapping her hands a little. "Right... I'll start. Jessica bishop, solar manipulation through a median." Pointing at various people, trying to get them to pipe up. "No... just me... cool."
A lot seemed to be happening at once. Arthur clocked a girl and one of the guards whom she seemed to help out of the water a bit down the beach but he also saw a girl shouting at everyone and another girl trying to calm her down. Hardly a stable situation but he could make the best of it. He reached his hand out to his side and rubbed his fingers together as he tried to use his powers. Nothing happened. Nothing came. His powers were unfortunate because they worked seemingly at random. Arthur called a weapon and something came from somewhere. He didn't know what was coming and he didn't know where it was coming from but normally it would come from the surrounding area. Yet at the moment nothing came to him. Then another girl spoke up in some attempt to catalogue and list their powers. Arthur approved of the organizational forethought. "Arthur Anderson. I can summon weapons. Limited choice though so I don't do requests."
