The door itself had been torn through like nothing and on the other side the floor, walls and ceiling were all painted a strong bloody red colour. Along the walls there were lights of a similar red, leading to an unnerving effect as they glimmered of the tools. And there were dozens of tools throughout the room. Laid out around the edges like some kind of hybrid of an operating theater and a car repair shop. Some of the equipment was minute, surgical and precise while other pieces were heavy circular saws and large hammers. In the center of the room there was an operating table of sorts, covered with steel restraints that were torn open. Whoever had been here was gone, though, the table and room were empty. The air smelt of blood, sweat and machinery along with a faint hint of ozone. Whoever had instigated the break-in had found whatever they were looking for in this room, and disappeared.<br/><br/>Teleportation was the easiest guess, leading to either advanced technology or magic. There didn't seem much evidence that the perpetrators had broke back out the way they'd came, as they would have been witnessed at some point. As the heroes made their way into the room there was a flicker of the rest of the lights. For some reason this room hadn't lost power, and now it seemed like backups were beginning to kick in and restore the labs systems. An automated voice crackled briefly on the intercom, and then burst into life.<br/><br/><strong>"Emergency. Evacuate immediately. Containment and Research has been breached. Evacuate immediately."</strong>The message began to loop. It was a pretty reasonable assumption that this area was containment and research, and that the breach was the ripped holes in the walls. Many of the questions now changed from the criminals who broke in to the true nature of the work this S.T.A.R Laboratory was performing. This room looked like it could be used to torture, or dissect, almost anything. And they had four live captives just outside along with two empty cells. It certainly seemed highly sinister. J'onn recontacted the trio telepathically.<strong>"Hard to say if the watchtower could care for them. We don't know anything about them. I can't get a target to teleport them through the EMP after-shocks, the teleporter could kill them, so we'd have to break them out to get them up here. And we still don't know who they are or why they're in there."</strong>J'onn sounded unusually a little frustrated, it was clear he strongly suspected something sinister was happening to these captives.
