He glides onto the transport, silently.

She'll get on, then sit there smiling faintly at Sean.

Once they're all aboard, soldiers fasten them to their seats, Sean watching on impassively. 

He does notice Carina's stare, but keeps his own gaze level.

Thekla taps her electronic harness, humming thoughtfully. She could send a shock through it, freeing herself and everyone-

The biobomb. 

She settles instead for giving the soldier nearest her a withering look.

"Any other information you feel like sharing?" she asks, tapping her fingers on her forearm. "Otherwise we should make some attempt at a plan. So we don't die as soon as we land."

For any mind-readers in the group, there's a faint hint of something like regret, like grief. It's gone very quickly.

"The boy is eighteen years old. Dark skin. Dreadlocks. He has a variety of powers, notably control over fire and something akin to mind control. He is carrying something very precious to the Enchantress, the being that has taken control of the city. You are to apprehend the boy at all cost. Try not to kill him."

"How powerful is his fire control? Can he generate flames, or only control existing ones? How does his mind control work?"

"He can summon them, but his true talent is controlling existing flames. His mother may make it a point to send her followers to set fires to ease his way."

"And who would his mother be?"

She has a sneaking suspicion she might know.

"The Enchantress. Formerly Nimueh Surana, a foremost magical scientist. We're not sure what started her turn, but nevertheless she is now the most powerful and dangerous enemy the world has." 

"Why was she parted from her son?"

Bambi seems to shrink in her seat after her words, like she already regrets them.

"That is not pertinent to your task."

"They were probably trying to control her." Hypocrites. They let her do her thing - likely knowingly - until politics and looking squeaky clean got involved.

"She has destroyed much of the city, why should we not attempt to control her?"

"Sad day when the sociopathic asshole has a better sense of not pissing people off than the government."

It has been many years since Sean had risen to someone's bait, but there was something about Revenant that got under his skin, after all these months.

Perhaps it was the memories of happier times with Nimueh. 

"You speak without knowledge of what it was actually like."

"I used to work for the same government shitheads you do, genius."

"Clearly that ended well for you."

"God, we get it. You hate us, we hate you. Jesus."

"I feel more overwhelming pity that he's so pathetic, personally."

"Stop it," Bambi says, so quiet it's almost missable.

"Whatever," she says, leaning back a bit.

Bambi wrings her hands, looking worriedly at Emma. She didn't mean to insult her, it was just-

"We'll land in an hour. Try to behave in the meantime."

Sean paces up the length of the plane, disappearing into the cockpit.

She drops the Creepy Smile act as soon as he leaves. Ugh. She hates making her face do that.

"We should in fact plan," she says, levelly. "I do line of sight teleportation and portals, and I can see through walls. Assuming they let me actually use my power."

She has no intention of actually relying on the locals - humans are far too unreliable - but knowing their abilities, both in terms of powers and in terms of mental capacity for planning, helps her work around them.

She really needs to figure out how to take powers for herself.
