Cat thought about her options; stay at Collie's place or go and help. It was a difficult decision and she doubted herself many times, thinking about it, but she still wanted to help

This one was a complete set of instructions to the site, which was a nondescript building in the middle of woods, with a perimeter fence all around it. The fence had razor wire on the top, but wasn't impassable; there were doors with alarms set into it at intervals and these alarms could be disabled if needed. Any cameras could also be disabled.

@,

 

She'd only been walking for a few minutes when she heard the quiet wail of an alarm from down the hall she had entered. She sighed, brushing her once again red hair back behind one ear, and made her way towards the surveillance room.  Upon entering she saw exactly what she'd expect. Several walls of monitors, each individual screen scanning a different neck of the ocean bound headquarters. One of the monitors was filled with static, and leaning before it typing madly at a keyboard before it was the surveillance officer responsible for that section of wall. He glanced back at her when she entered and fumbled to stand and throw a salute to her, along with the rest of the surveillance team. Kai'sa gave them a slight nod and the team relaxed and sat back in their chairs and resumed watching the monitors. The officer responsible for the malfunctioned screen ran a hand through his shaggy blond hair a couple times before tapping at the keyboard for a few seconds before sighing and looked at his superior. Kai'sa furrowed her brow at the code on the monitor's frame, and realized it was Chrysalis' holding cell. What was she doing?

 

The Changeling glanced at the man who was giving her a mildly frustrated look, and she nodded towards the screen, crossing her arms over her chest, "What's going on with that?"

 

He threw his hands in the air in an exaggerated show of exasperation, "Hell if I know," at her hardened glance he swallowed, cleared his throat and spoke again, "I'm not one hundred percent sure what she did. Last I saw was her tearing a strip of her dress and tying it around her face for some reason. Then she started dancing around, managed to move faster than the camera, then it went all fuzzy. I guess she knocked it out of its chassis and as such disabled it. The bitch."

 

The surveillance officer rubbed one temple with two fingers, looking back at the screen as he did so before turning his gaze back to his superior, "What do you suggest we do, ma'am?"

Kai'sa gave him a slightly pained look, likely from trying to comprehend how he didn't figure this out for himself, before speaking, "Send a team up there to keep an eye on her." At his raised eyebrow she sighed and elaborated, "There's a big ballistic glass window up there. Just send a team up to stand in the observation room and watch her."

 

"But... Would the Orchestrator approve of that?" He asked.

 

"We only had cameras installed so we didn't have to expend too much manpower on watching them. But seeing as she's managed to disable hers, and also taking into account the fact that she's a high priority to Orchestrator, I think he would be able to forgive sending a team up to keep an eye on her."

 

He took a second to consider that before nodding and reaching out to the intercom, hesitating for a second before looking at her, "Want to give the order yourself?"

 

Kai'sa sighed and pushed the button, speaking in a clear tone as her voice was carried through most of the ship, "Charlie, report to holding cell A. We have a very important guest that I'd like all of you to keep an eye on. Just remain in the observation room, but don't get too comfortable. Remain on the alert in case she somehow manages to do something too drastic. If she starts ranting at you, just mute the microphone. If she starts getting rowdy, radio up here and they'll fill the room with the tear gas until she's subdued. That's all."

 

She takes her finger off the intercom and brushes her hair behind her ear once again, and glancing at the surveillance officer, "Try not to gas her so long she can't speak. Or dies." With that Kai'sa turns and leaves the room, resolving to wait until Justus returned from his op.

Charlie team, took only a few minutes to ready up and get to the holding cell. They stood in the same room that Kai'sa had stood in just ten minutes before, weapons at the ready and watching the Changeling queen through the large security window with stark silence.

Angie laughed, clasping her hands behind her head, "Well, alright then!" She followed Shawn to the room that - to her surprise and slight amusement - they were sharing. She took a moment to check through her gear and draw out an empty, spare clip, then once again follow him out to the woods behind the establishment. She took the lead from there, leading him out a few yards before glancing around, nodding slightly and spinning around to face him, "Okay! Seems as good a place as any. Like I said, can't really shoot it, but I can show you how to hold it and such," as she spoke, Angelica drew her sidearm, dropped the clip into her other hand and pocketed it, pulled back the slide to eject the round already in the chamber, catch it and in turn pocket it as well. Once this was done, she slid the empty clip in and glanced to Shawn and grinned, "Alright, now pay attention. Just look how I hold the gun, my stance, and then try to replicate it. I'll explain a bit as I go."

 

The brunette clasps the pistol, explaining how to hold the weapon and assumed the stance, outlining as she went. Once she was finished with that she held the pistol to Shawn, "Alright, now you try. And even though it's not loaded, treat it like it is. Don't point it at me and keep your finger off the trigger. Unless you're aiming as if to fire, keep it pointed upward at the sky, or pointed down at the ground. I only wish I'd thought about it sooner, I could've gotten some dummy rounds before now so you'd get the proper idea of the weapon's weight. But anyway, just assume the position, and aim for a tree or something. I'll show you how to fix your stance as needed."

Logan had remained in the doorway during the 'discussion' between Applejack and Cicada. When she exited and stated she didn't want to be away from Twilight for long, he gave a slight hum, "I can understand that." he responded under his breath, intertwining his fingers with hers when she clasped his hand in her own. He stepped forward slightly to push the door open and waited until she was completely through before letting it go. The officer nodded to her at her suggestion, "That sounds just fine." Was all he said for a minute or so. Eventually, he let out a slight sigh, glancing at the sky before looking back to the woman beside him, gently tightening his grip on her hand, "How're you holding up?"

As expected they came after her. They didn't enter the room... they just watched from the glass. She was in their domain... however this small team had to be enough. She figured she had to explain herself... they would certainly ask why she did it. Why not give them a reason then? A reason to speak... lay down their secrets for them... learn the field and her enemies for when the final blow comes.

She held the torn down camera in her hands and showed it plainly on her hand.

"I don't like being watched... but i guess that even with this infernal machinery gone you won't leave huh... Very well... have fun spending the night watching a lady take her beauty sleep. Only please... keep your minds out of the gutter while doing so... i would like at least to be respected in that area."

She finally set herself up in a corner to sleep... this wasn't going to be a comfortable position... not that she ever was comfortable sleeping while she was in Equestria... she almost never slept at her quarters but rather chose a changeling home each time and visited it... he took the form of another changeling seeking refuge. During her stay upon Earth she had learned of an ancient divinity... Xenios Zeus... who was a form of a king of gods that valued hospitality... he pretty much did the same thing, but she... she was no god. Right now she guessed that the only way to escape alone would be through the divine intervention of a god... she had to get to action soon. But she also needed to keep her energies until that time... so she slept. Lately sleep for her seemed to be strange... would she dream of Kai'sa? Would she dream of her? With all those weird things that happened it would be no surprise if this happened... but she would be really lucky if something like that happened, and she doubted it too.

Would David dream of her? Also doubtful... but on the bright side she didn't think he would sleep until she was found... and that would certainly be something that would make her smile... so she slept, she slept with a smile on her face but her ears were always perked in case something woke her up.
