"Fuck," Delphinium knew that the survival statistics for a Terror attack were generally poor, but this seemed to be going south faster than she had anticipated.  Another wave like that, and the PRT headquarters would probably be underwater.  The first of the wounded had just started trickling in, but they would probably have to be moved soon.  She turns to Sliver, "Do we have a fallback point for the wounded?"

Vlad extend a hand experimentally, nothing. Then he wills his mind to follow the gesture as he makes it. The water surges forwards and around his legs but doesn't even touch him.

He grins.

Then he walks forward. In a fuzzy sense he can feel other disruptions in the water, small eddies where people are stumbling and splashing around. Even as he concentrates the range extends a little and he can sense perhaps twenty feet in each direction. His heart quickens, could he find his family with this?

But what would that do? He'd just be standing next to them, waiting to die when Naga turned back. No, he had to help the other parahumans. Yes, others. He smiled again, he was one of them now.

Now with a determined stride he heads for the destroyed doors. Then he pauses and looks down, and tentatively puts a foot on the water. It holds, and gives a little when he puts his weight on it. He lifts the other foot, and lo and behold Jesus impression.

With new confidence he heads again towards the exit out of this deathtrap. He runs, and gradually let's the water take his momentum so he is almost skating by the time he reaches the door. With a whoop, he gathers the water beneath his feet and launches a full two metres into the air as he passes into the sunlight. For a moment there's just him, the air and the sunlight.

Then reality hits. It's infinitely worse out here. The noise is deafening and everywhere capes rush backwards and forwards, powers flicker and burn. And in the middle of all the Mage of the Seas bends water to his will, sending people flying like insects.

Vlad looks around, he has no clue where he'd be most useful, so he reckons his best bet is to find someone who does.

"We have access to Doorlady's ((Really?)) portals don't we?  Couldn't we just move them to the further away shelters?"
((Yes, really. There are only so many names I can give to a fairly obvious Doorman expy.))
"Those shelters are already holding around a hundred thousand each. They're at capacity, we can't really squeeze several thousand more into them. And Doorlady's occupied moving everyone from the destroyed shelters to the HQ's shelter and other safer areas."

Alright.

I thought it was assumed that you were doing that for the civilians coming in from the damaged shelter.

THE MEDICS ALWAYS BECOME SECONDARY CHARACTERS. UNAVOIDABLE FACT OF FICTION.

It's true. The only exceptions I can think of are when either the "healer" only heals as a secondary thing, or when the healer is really the only person whohas anything special about him (e.g, Jesus Christ).

((The only reason he is one of the mot important characters is that the other top eight are equally undeveloped. And the only nine "characters" in the game.))

"Do we actually know anything about Doorlady's powers, like range and such?  Could she get everyone out of town?"
"According to the Islanders, Doorlady's power is harder to sustain the more portals she opens at once, the farther away they are from her, and the more people passing through at once. If we planned this ahead of time, with a place to drop them off and a nice, organized protocol? Probably. As it is? Nowhere near enough prep. For some reason, the PRT didn't want to engage in extended negotiations with a major group of villains over such a plan, and the Islanders didn't seem interested in giving us a detailed description of her limitations." Sliver sighed. "This would be easier if there weren't any villains, if we were all just heroes, you know?"

"HEHEHEHAHAHA!!!" Kinetics laughs histarically at the destruction, still looking for an opening to get away to try and figure out a way to hurt Naga. Meanwhile, she had to do her job of helping wounded, yada yada yada.

HAHA! This is wonderful! We can make more deals for me to come out for this more often!

I'll even lower my price for my help, this is TOO MUCH FUN!!!
