"Alright... alright..." You stepped up. "None of us really know exactly what's going on, that's true... and you seem to be fairly confident in your knowledge of the situation too... why is that, anyway? Did the organization you represent predict what was going to happen? Why would you pick us five anyway?" You decided to ask him some questions, to try to buy a little bit of time in order to escape when an opening presented itself. The most important question of all however, was... "How exactly did you know what each of our powers were?" At this point there was no use denying that he was correct, so you had very little to lose from denying that your powers were as he stated... at least in part, anyway.
"I can't tell you how we gather our intelligence in cases regarding to Keepers such as yourselves, it's very much classified." The man took a draw on his cigarette before continuing. "As for your other questions, we've known that it was only a matter of time until the next wave occurred, upper management was getting jumpy, you're lucky we've already classed your little group as a low rank on the threat scale, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, that's why you've been focused on. Reports are that my colleagues around the world have already hunted down and killed at least 300 or so of the new wave." Should... he really be revealing all this information to you? You supposed that there was nothing you could really use against him there... and you were totally surrounded...
You kept looking around as you tried to think of something to say to the man, but you were absolutely surrounded on all sides, and trying to escape through the warehouse would be akin to entering a killbox with no escape... unless... it might be possible for Haley to use her ability to get you out of this mess...
"No." Alexis took a step forwards. "Go fuck yourself, spook. You and all your little soldiers." You turned to look at the woman in awe as she glared at the man with hate filled eyes. "I fucking knew that there was some deep corruption bullshit going on, the government seemingly just being a tool of the corporations, that's all just the first level of this conspiracy.
"You're sure talking like you know a lot for somebody who was assigned to the upkeep and development of the cities waste disposal system." The man frowned as he pointed his gun at Alexis, who stopped in place. "I'd suggest you don't take a step closer, I'm not sure on just how effective your ability to manipulate probability is, but I'm quite sure that I'm a good enough shot that I won't miss from here."
"Is that a fact...?" Alexis smiled at the man. "Shoot me faggot, you won't." Unbelievably, the woman had actually decided to... taunt the man? The hell was she thinking? Her powers might've been effective, but... was she really sure she was making a good choice here? You supposed that there was no way out of the situation, but... this was ridiculous.
