"Security lock down, huh?" Chase mused, his hands shoved in his pockets and a playful smile on his face. "Something big must be happening then."<br/><br/>"Hey Vanessa, Hi Stella," he said cheerfully to each girl as the boy (whom he didn't know the name of) freed them. He looked at Isana, a small frown settling on his face. "Awe, so I don't get to leave with you?" he jabbed a thumb toward the teleporter, "But I don't even know his name."<br/><br/>His head cocked slightly to the side as he noticed Isana was acting differently from usual.<span style="font-style: italic">Oh,</span>he thought, raising his eyebrows,<span style="font-style: italic">she got injured...</span>Chase let out a sigh. "Oh well. Too bad we didn't get to chat a bit. It's been ages since we saw each other after all," he said, smiling. "Sorry I had to leave so... unexpectedly."<br/><br/>Chase did as the teleporter said and moved closer. He looked at Stella who was uselessly draped against the teleporter's shoulder. "Jeez," he muttered. "You look like crap. Honestly you're so stubborn. If they put subjects against each other you'd be dead already. I'll bet you're gonna make everyone else protect you now, since you've become pretty useless." He stood up straight, putting his hands behind his head. "It's too bad. This would have been a good chance for you to get stronger, but you threw it away. And I thought you'd be the type who wanted to protect others." He gave a friendly smile which really didn't fit the harsh words he was spouting out. In his own odd way, he may have been trying to help her... but maybe not. It was still hard to tell what the psychopath was thinking.<br/><br/>Chase had to stop talking when the teleporter's phone rang.<span style="font-style: italic">Is this really the time for phone calls?</span>he wondered.<span style="font-style: italic">Whoever is on the other end clearly has no idea what's going on. Unless they're just an idiot or a jerk who wants us to get caught...</span>he let his thoughts wander idly as he stalled his mind until it was time to go.
