    Al comes up to the front door with shadow and looks around before knocking.

    Actually, Al will probably knock on the energy shield first. I mean, unless he came through a shadow by some magical power.

    Office Area

    The door to Gordon's office suddenly unlocks. Unless, of course, it needs some sort of key for both sides.

    If it doesn't, Dr. Adrian Rein comes walking out, whitecoat ruffled, expression stormy. He nods to the multiple villains inside the room. "Well, Gordon seems to be fine now. So I'm leaving."

    The Moff will attempt to be first into Gordon's office. So how goes the fight, bossman?

    Right now, Gordon's off in the forests of Outside. So I would think the office is empty.

    That confuses Al a bit, but never the less he tries to get to AMEN so he can join or something like that.

    Jack's cellphone suddenly vibrates, probably going unnoticed by Shrike. He holds up a finger, suddenly disappearing into thin air.

    The shield around the fortress goes down for about five minutes, and then re-expands. This will probably be enough time for Al to get inside.

    Then Jack comes back, behind Shrike. Holding some strange weapon.

    A series of plasma bolts sizzles towards the Exalted.

    The Moff stares at a wall for a moment, then turns to the newcomers and the henchmen. Gentlemen, I dunno about you, but I'm not too fond of living in a war zone. I have a feeling this attack is gonna last a while, and trust me, not one of us can do a thing to them. So let's get outta here, let Jack and Gordon deal with 'em. Dunno if you saw it on the way in, but we recently acquired a rather spiffy floating town. I vote we relocate there, temporarily. The Moff will wait all of two seconds before saying excellent! Let's go. and walking calmly out of the office and out of the currently innactive force-field. Upon seeing Al, he'll pull out a knife, and say nice day, isn't it? Listen, I don't have time for the small talk. You joining or do I have to feed you to vampire dude?

    Al simply turns and lets the slash go by him. " Don't do that again or I will have Shadow attack you. " Al says as Shadow returns with a blood covered claw.

    Al holds up the form and Shadow starts to fill it out with blood.

    The Moff shrugs. We are, at the moment, actually heading out of the base. We're under attack, and we have more qualified members handling that. For the moment, we're going to be based out of... The Moff points to the floating town. ((To the Black Wounds thread!))

    He swings and attempts to dash Shrike's weapons aside, as to avoid an immediate follow-up attack. In fact, if the dagger isn't magical or somesuch, it might simply be cut in twain. His feet fall steady again as his grin forms words. "Mm. I've found plenty of challenges in the Nexus, so far. It's good to have to actually work again."
    [Hallway near the Mirrors]

    The dagger is indeed magical...well, psionic. And the instant the metal of Jack's weapon comes in contact with it...a flood of electrical energy attempts to pour from the dagger and into the opposing blade.

    And, possibly, its wielder, of course...

    ...although had it actually hit him instead, well, yeah.

    Shrike stumbles back from the blow to her weapon, recovering her balance with a grin. "It's good to have somebody I can cut loose against, too. Ever hear what Superman said? The 'World of Cardboard'? Well, that's how I feel sometimes. But you're good, solid oak - all the more satisfying to break."

    And she gives Jack a 'come hither' gesture.

    The energy is nullified completely upon attempting to enter the Object, dissipated out or absorbed. Probably wouldn't of done anything to Jack anyway, though.

    Jack grins right back, naturally. "Oh, boo hoo. You don't have to be like the man of steel, always careful not to break something. Be more like Joker." Jack laughs like the man himself. "Break everything. Do as you please. Be free."

    Jack draws a grenade from his pocket, the pin already removed, and tosses it like a baseball. At superspeed. "Let me show you."

    After which, Jack teleports away, distracted by the flap of giant wings. Wonder what Gordon's up to?

    I suppose we can simply resume the fight when Iames returns.

    With lightning (pardon the pun!) reflexes, Shrike brings her Daiklave around, batting the grenade with her blade, indending to bat it right back at Jack.
    In his face, quite possibly.

    He opens his mouth and, moving to precisely time it, swallows the grenade. Perhaps the massive grinning ability helps with that rather odd feat. Then a grin, as the concussive force is apparently dulled by the black hole inside him.

    Bits of shrapnel do pierce his skin, but there's no serious damage. Maybe aiming for the face wasn't such a good idea.

    Jack takes his sword in both hands now, steadying his stance once again. "Cannon? Oh. Oh! You mean that thing. Yeah, I dunno. I don't really care about it, but Gordon does. And I've kind of commited myself to this organization at the moment."

    "Well, then," Shrike says, making the fencer's salute with her massive blade, "I guess I'll just say that what's about to happen to you, unfortunate as it is, is just business, nothing personal."

    She winks, and stands ready!

    "Unfortunate indeed. I'm about to get some Exalted blood all over my suit." Then Jack glances down. "Such as it is, might brighten it up a little."

    Then he dashes to the side, zig-zagging, blurring low towards Shrike and cutting at her legs.

    Oh no. She lost her sole!

    ...as she leaps into the air, and does a backflip gracefully, her own blade slicking with the intent of amputating Jack's coat right off of his back.

    Wait, that's all she's doing? Not cutting his arms off or anything? In that case, it's quite successful, Jack stumbling away as one of the finer dress coats in the Nexus is torn from him.

    He turns, just wearing a dress-shirt or maybe a vest. "Are we playing strip-fighting now?" He asks teasingly, quirking an eyebrow. "I'm not sure how the rules would go."

    Clearly, it's a variation on the Death of a Thousand Cuts.

    And at Jack's suggestion, Shrike's own grin grows. "Oh, I could think of a few possible rules, but they might be more fun if my mate was here." She winks, and takes a defensive position.
