So don't act like I just did away with you from the moment we formed a team." * Why are you just standig there Harkin? You want to kill something? Or show Sam how powerful you are? Then show her on him.*
Harkin raised a brow, but she started towards the group. *You want me to kill him Janet? Be careful of what you ask of me. If you want, you can reword your request. But if you don't.... Ill end him.*

Sam scowled at Hunter, "Haha very funny." she stuck her tongue out at the boy."Good we need to get you away from here your no good injured" Sam didn't really want to leave but she had to make sure this girl was somewhere safe so she could heal some more without being distracted.
Harkin grinned. "As you wish, Janet." Harkin threw her hands out at her sides, and the markings on her face began to glow a bright lime green. The light night breeze picked up to speeds of a heavy thunderstorm. The winds seemed not to touch the teachers or the students. Instead, they focused upon the enemy. Lightning struck, though the skies remained clear. She was gathering strength for a devistating explosion. Janet had seen this before. Fire, ice, rock, and air would bombard all who opposed her, and she was the only one who could stop it. She had used this to level a building long ago. Tonight, she would use it to destroy the boy.
Harkin threw her hands into the air. In her own way, she was cocking her gun.
And before she fired, she looked to Janet for the 'go ahead.'
~wait you do know Janet is with the main group of Heroes? She is right infront of Issac but I'll cove your post with a Astral Image~
"Well he is right in front of me but what you all see here is just an astral image of the real me. Follow it and it'll take you to me. I'm here with Andrew,Jane,Ben,Katt,Harkin and some students"
The real Janet gave Harkin a smile as a signal to go ahead. She raised her hands causing a Force wall to protect Harkin.
Derek nodded and followed the astral image all the way to Janet and the others. And there was Isaac, in front of them all.
Advancing slowly, he passed the real Janet, as well as Andrew, and gave them both a worried look.
''Isaac,why are you here? Or perhaps the right question is: On what manners have you returned? For what you are doing here, reckless and painful are your actions to us all''.
Harkin looked back at Isaac. She poised her hands as if she were a puppetier. She crossed her arms, as if she were hgging herself, and the winds stopped. All was still for a couple of seconds. You could have heard a mouse fart.
Then, she threw her arms open. A hugs ball of twisting blues, oranges, reds, and green shot at Isaac. This wasn't a human sized huge. This was a private jet sized huge. Right now, there was no stopping it and there was no escape. He would die by her hands.
Harkins eyes widened. Slowly the glowing faded and the winds died. Her shoulders slumped as she stared at Derek. "You... You just... That was my strongest and only...." Harkin fell to her knees. Her breathing was shallow. She seemed distant, her energy so spent that she could no longer think. More or less could she form a complete sentence.
She looked into Dereks eyes and let out a sgt sigh before collapsing onto the grass.
Janet eyes narrowed at what just happened." No!!! Derek that was the most foolish thing you have ever done. You are here to help us. I gave her that order. Do not really the need to always play hero like those cartoons or comic books would have you think. Sometimes one must killed." She walked over toward both him and Harkin." Now you've just taken one of the most powerful of us who are trying to stop him from killing every student in the basement out." She placed her right hand on his head. "I'm sorry Derek but we need all the help we can get" With that she began to pull out some of his mental energy." I only took a small amount" In her hand stood a reddish gray crystal of light which she forced into Harkin's head." Harkin dear that should help you for now." She looked back up at Derek." Never do that again. "
As Derek touched her, a tingling sensation would run through his body. Somewhere within his mind, she was there and he was standing before her. She had on a simple red dress. A corset held everything in place at the top. No shoes, no cloak or gloves. Her dress was short, only falling to her knees, and the corset exposed her arms and shoulders. Markings, similar to the ones upon her face, snaked over her shoulders and down to her finger tips. She just smiled.
But in his arms, when Janet gave her the crystal, her eyes fluttered open. They were blank and emotionless. She wasn't all there at the moment. She was spent far beyond repair.
Derek looked at Janet with cold eyes.
''I did not say death had not a part to play in this matter. But the manner of its execution, to me, is far more important than the end alone. I shall not let Isaac be killed before he answers to what he has done, and to that I hold and will not part from this determination. If death follows, then so it shall be. There is a time for everything, now is a time to talk.''
He felt weaker since Janet took a part of his energy, but since it wasn't much he could feel as ready as ever to defend his point.
''As for Harkin in my arms, she will not harm him again until I say it''.
"You are here to add us. You are not team captain here so learn your place and learn it fast Derek else you find your time here short. Frankly you aren’t in any rank on this team to even think you can command any sliver of this fight. Now until Andrew steps up I'll be calling the shots. We know his crime he has admitted to it and has done it before our every eyes. As I recall you were to be looking out but you'd rather head to your room and play with Harkin as if the woman was your mistress. My advice to you is clear your head and realize your on a team now, which means there are ranks and what you Sir have done is disobeyed a order and just greatly increased the chances of this team dieing along with stripping Harkin's freedom from her .The counsel would have noted that as a heroic move on her part. Now fall back ! I'll have to deal with this and if you try to stop me you will wish you was Issac." Of course both Janet and her powers side were talking by now but the two seemed to agree on this. Janet moved a bit closer to Issac. She began to toss objects at him from the left and right while causing the atoms in the air to combust near Issac. " Let "US" in Issac. Don't fight "Us". "
Derek was scared, although he had to push. It wasn't the actions, it was the question... Why?
''No Janet, I will not partake in a team that does not ask -why- after -what-. I will not side with Isaac as well, for his crimes are real. But I will prevent you from hurting him if you try.''
His curiosity got the better of him, and it might not be a bad thing. Why Isaac would rebel was a legitimate question, and he needed to find out why.
''I am sorry teacher''.
Derek, Harkin still in his arms, went behind Janet ans hit her on her back, to break the concentration she had with her attack.
He then temporal drifted next to Isaac.
''I will not let so many students that have died without an answer, to why they have been slain''.
He had defied authority... He had defied for what he thought was good, even if it meant protecting evil.
