As the group headed down, Hood was surprised to see an absolute lack of traps down the stairwell. The lights weren't working at all and the windows were sealed with some kind of metal shutters,but given how the stairwell was, nobody was in danger of falling off. Even if the stairs and railings looked like garbage. They passed the room that led into the fifth floor, which looked equally pitch black. Floor's four and three looked to be the same, but as they got to the second floor via staircase, whoever was point would feel their shoes get wet after stepping off a step...there was water pooled up to the floor marker, meaning things were more than likely submerged that point downward. "Well...that's not good" Crock snarked, shining a flashlight to confirm that downstairs was flooded. Cheetah hissed at the sight, annoyed how quickly things went sour. |

Bane continued to follow the team as he felt water beneath them. Bane the real mission was going to be begin now.
" Well surely everyone here knows how to swim? Not afraid of some water? Lets proceed with caution. Also only one way to go."
Bane proceeded through the water as he was not about to let some flooding become a hurdle.

Slade laughed inside. Either Bane was extremely brave or extremely foolish for going first, being one of the more vulnerable of the group. He was beginning to like the circumstances less and less. Now not only were they sitting ducks in this small stairwell, there were now literally out of there element. If this was truly the Atlanteans, Slade felt as if he needed to do something. Diving into the water, he pushed past Bane. Knowing it would get under the assassins skin.
While that would give a him a little joy at Bane's displeasure, it was to serve a purpose. He could take the brunt of an attack if one came more so than Bane while everyone was vulnerable in the water. Without saying so outloud, Slade wanted this mission to succeed as much as anyone.

"I hope those two can breathe underwater," Ebon murmured dryly. Having kept to the back of the group all the while with Slade, he moved in the darkness as silent as a person can be, not minding the pitch black surroundings one bit. Bane mentioned he grew up in shadows, but Ebon was the true master of shadows. Now, the metahuman regretted not correcting the man sooner, as it was quite possible he might not come back. Surveying the situation, it seemed the only way to move was forward, but before jumping into the water to be the third 'winner'...
'If those mask-lovin' fools wanna die, whatever. But it just so happens, one of those fools is a marked man. I ain't lettin' an oversized puddle steal my kill.'
Ebon melted into the shadows and disappeared. When he reappeared, a short moment later, the water level inside the building would begin to lessen, if all went well. Ebon had created a portal at the bottom of the first floor to drain out the water from inside. Where or whatever was on the other end of the portal, due to some kind of high pressure, would cause the water to recede even faster than normal. It was as big as his higher end sized rifts, meaning the water would only take a few minutes at the most to clear out at least one floor. If need be, he'd do the same thing to the first floor to clear the way.
"I never cared for swimming." |

As they reached the water Backlash paused for a few moments to assess the situation.
Once Ebon rematerialized he would look around at the team.
"One of our objectives are on this floor, while the water is being removed we can go find it, spread out but keep within eyesight of each other."
He would give a brief explanation of what the gas canisters they were looking for looked like before heading into the interior of the building.

Bane nodded to Backlash as he walked around elsewhere not far from the team and began searching for there objective. Bane almost couldn't believe himself that he forgot his night vision goggles on he had on him and put those on his head in case he needed it to see into dark areas. Bane walked around the interior of the building searching for the canisters while staying armed and ready for any danger.

Ebon stuck relatively close to the others. He'd slink to the back of the group and blend in with the shadows all about this dark place. He hadn't seen any traps or enemies like he'd thought they would come across, but he didn't drop his guard either. Becoming a living shadow, the transmorph glided along the floor, doing as close to a perimeter search as was possible. Any doors he came across, he'd simply slide under to examine the contents of what might be on the other side.
"Gas canisters, hm? I wonder if it could be... nah. Couldn't be." Nonetheless, he'd find himself searching with a certain vigor. |

Stay within eyesight of a team to steal some gas canisters? What was this? Thief preschool? Whatever. He did as instructed for now and looked for the damn canisters. They were probably hidden but where? He looked around, examining the area to see what the place was organized like, hopefully it'd give him clues. He was trained by the worlds greatest detective after all.

Everything seemed too easy. Slade placed his knife back and pulled out his sword. Holding it high with both hands he crept around the room. From previous experiences he was just waiting for the hammer to drop and all hell to break lose.
"Be on your toes guys. I have a bad feeling about this. Its too easy."
Looking over at Backlash he checked to see if he seemed to have the same feeling.
"Backlash. You get the feeling that someone is watching us?"

Looking over at Backlash he checked to see if he seemed to have the same feeling. "Backlash. You get the feeling that someone is watching us?" "It might just be me." Ebon's voice literally emanated from Slade's shadow, though Ebon himself would be nowhere to be seen. "Watch your front and your back. Enemies could be anywhere." |

The group formation held, but not several seconds after Slade claimed things seemed too easy the world decided to spice things up- Rounding the corner there was a T-shaped hallway with both sides curving off with a number of doorways. Luckily there didn't seem to be any water damage but it was quite a bit of room to cover. "You had to say it" Crock grunts through his hockey mask before turning left. "It's gotta be one of these" he muttered, when Cheetah's ears perked and she turned down the opposite hall. "Someone is that way" she growled, before she began walking down that corridor. Crock ignored the female, wondering who would follow him. |

Ebon was left to assume that Slade had possibly wet his pants a bit. With an inward smile, he glided across the floor, still two dimensional. He fell in line behind Cheetah, all but invisible within her shadow. He was curious to know who or what they were dealing with, and curious about any hidden talents this animalistic woman might have. If she was anything like Talon, he'd be pleased. Silently keeping pace, he was ready for what might come.

Bane moved gracefully across the room as he followed slowly a couple of feet behind Cheetah who had growled and immediately with her animal senses picked up someone was ahead. Bane raised his machine gun ready for anything that tried to surprise attack them as he stayed on guard. Bane recalled on his League of Assassin training as he moved silently at a graceful pace with no noise like a predator hunting its prey.
" If Cheetah has picked up someone. We need to be on guard and not give away our presence here. We have the advantage still. IF they do know someone is here. Well....Even more reason why to be on guard."

Slade moved up next to Bane and readied himself for whatever came next. Seeing Crock head the other way, Slade began to fall back. As the group was ahead of him he turned around and joined Crock. He was the only true ally Slade had on the mission as far as he knew.
"So whats your feeling on this? You think we are being led into a trap or are you looking for something else?"

Red hood noted the cheetah notice danger and decided if her and the living shadow couldn't handle it, he wasn't gonna do shit so he decided to head the other way, and continue to look for the item. At this point, the decision wasn't because he cared about finding anything, it was more of a 'don't die' mentality.
