2010: Florida
Raquel continued her retreat from the super-powered soldiers, and Pinehearst, never wanted to look back. Panicking people ran into her as they passed, bumping her to every direction. This wanted to activate her rage, but she couldn't. Not in front of all of this mayhem, so she held all of the anger she could, gripping her bag tighter to make the stress travel from her brain to her fingers.

Darry had made his way out of Pinehearst, getting into the vehicle he'd came in, the Government Agents, the Chinese were gone, he just wanted to get out of Florida, get away from this hectic life, get back to his simple life, except he'd lost everyone he cared about, he thought about going to visit his family, but they were the reason he changed his life in the first place. Great, I'm back to square once. Moments later he was driving he spotted Raquel, he'd seen that woman leaving Pinehearst, if he wanted to get revenge on Michael he'd have to have a lead, he drove up to her, honking his horn." HEY YOU!" HE yelled out to her."You work for Pinehearst?" He asked.

Raquel turned at the sound of the car horn. She looked to see someone giving her eye contact. She didn't know who this man was. He could be anyone. Ironically, the sound of Pinehearst from the man's mouth had caused nearby pedestrians to evade themselves from her. Her cover had been blown. "Why?", she asked the man.

Darry wanted to know what her reply was, if she would lie, he'd have to get hostile, right now he didn't care what was going to happen next, TAP was gone, Amber was gone, hell his mercadies benz was even gone. He watched as people began rushing away, what was going on? Well it seems I'm not the only one who hates Henderson, he must have been a big dick in high school. "I'm looking for a man named Michael Henderson, I want to make sure he never hurts anyone else."

Raquel's look of suspicion turned to confusion in an instant. Did he just say, Michael?, she thought to herself. Raquel would never believe that, but then again, she had barely seen him. As much as she tried to deny it, the man's statement was believable. "What do you mean?", she asked him.

Darry wondered what was going on, this girl had definently left Pinehearst, but maybe she was like him, she was just captured, maybe she was given an ability by them, so she might have hated Michael as much he did, or she was a double agent, sent to get information about the invasion. Hell If I know, shit just dosen't make sense anymore. "Michael is an evil man, he's a murderer, trust me, he captured me, and other innocent people, another person helped us, and I'm trying to bring him down, I saw you leaving Pinehearst,I assumed you were of his victims."

Raquel was right about Michael letting his newfound "CEO" job get the best of him. After all of the many heroic instances that he performed, some of it wouldn't make sense for him to be portrayed as "evil". "No, I wasn't captured.", she responded to the man's last statement. Captured, she never was in Pinehearst. She may have been when she first arrived, but after that, Michael had always made her safe. "I.........resided there."

Darry listened to Raquel, he didn't know who's side she was on, but he hoped at the very least she wasn't best buddies with Michael, he'd just told her he was after him, if he knew ahead of time, he'd be toast literally, or maybe bread crumbs, he'd learned about what he was capable of. "You resided there" He raised his eyebrow, he wondered what that meant. "So you just lived there? Like paying rent I didn't..know bioforms let you do that." He said still cautious, he wasn't sure what to believe anymore.

"He had supported me ever since I came to this place. I don't know what to believe anymore from him." This sudden twist of words coming from Raquel's mouth came from the many emotions that she had. Confusion, and distrust were on the top of that list. All of a sudden, someone pushed Raquel so hard, that it had caused her to almost fall. She immediately grabbed the suited, and somewhat rude, man by the back of his collar, channeling her inner-ability, and caused the strength inside her to toss him to the brick wall. Nearby pedestrians looked with loud gasp, screaming even louder at the maniac; her. Raquel covered her mouth in shock about what she had just done. She had never acted like this before.

Darry listened, he wondered what type of support Michael had provided for her, but whatever it was, she'd chose to leave, so while she might have been the best ally ever, she probably wasn't a loyal dog to Michael. "I see." He said not really knowing how to respond. She seemed to have lost control, and tossed a man aside, and he could hear helicopters. Of all the places to loose control, a place where there was just a massive Attack." Yo Yo! GET in the CAR! NOW! We have to go" He said as the sound of blades grew louder."

Raquel viewed the sky, feeling nervous once more as the helicopters above had her as a dead aim target. Raquel quickly hurried into the man's car, placing her bag into the backseat. Even though she wanted to refuse at first, at this point, she had no choice.

Darry didn't know why he was going to help someone Michael helped then again, he probably treated her bad, which was why she left, he was conflicted, but all he knew was he needed some goal, someone to help him, and he couldn't bring down Michael by himself. He slammed into the gas break, and the vehicle sped off, helicopters shooting at the vehicle, as he began speeding up he needed to get out of Florida, and he knew this place better then anyone, having lived here for years." Alright then hold on tight, get your seat belt on, things are about to get nasty." He said as he swerved through an ally to escape the helicopters' lights, but in the process he'd almost slammed into a concrete wall.

Raquel looked at the mirror on her side of the door, hoping that no type of enforcement was catching up to the car. She just wanted to get out of plain sight from them.

Darry began driving with the current situation, they wouldn't be under too much pressure from Law Enforcement, and after about thirty minutes, and crossing a bridge, they were out of Orlando, making there way to Georgia, of course it would be about an eight hour drive. Guess I'm going back to meet bubba, and them, at least I'm bringing a pretty woman. "Hey, I'm going to head to Georgia, I have some family living up there, you can come with me, I'm guessing your not very popular back in the Sunshine state" He said he pulled out his ipod, hooking it up to the car, some music would help the situation.

Doubt instantly came out of Raquel. She didn't know him that well to travel with him. She didn't even know his first name, nor the letter that it began with. Nervous, she looked at the lock on the door; thankfully it was unlocked. Then she grabbed the edge of the door. She could feel the soft material on it's handle. If anything bad were to happen to her, the first thing she would do was jump out. "No...........I'm not.......from wherever you live.", she replied to the man with a serious expression.

Darry sighed, things weren't going like he intended, so now he was traveling with someone who'd ditched Michael, so this was his team to bring down Michael, it wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either for a depressed man who'd lost everything in the past 24 hours. "Ah alright then, well I won't hurt you, the enemy of my enemy is my friend" He said as he continued to drive wondering where life would lead him. "By the way my name's Darry" He said looking forward.
