23 Postponed

2:30 pm Friday was the appointed time of Alice's return from solitary

At 2:00 pm She would be released from her cell in the Bunker Wing and escorted to the original cell in the cell block personally patterned for inmates of the Disturbed category, from there she would be given ten minutes to requinto herself with her surroundings before being escorted to his office

She would be his 4th client of the day and was expected to be the only one who would engage in conversation as his other clients still had fits upon the loss of their powers and even resorted to violent methods to stay out of the range of his nullification

However unexpectedly at 2:15 when Alice was likely on her way to his office alarms and sirens began to blare over the intercom causing an electronic voice to begin broadcasting and for the doors of his office to automatically shut and lock themselves, indicating a lockdown

"WARNING TO ALL STAFF!! TWO INMATES OF THREAT LEVELS A+ AND S HAVE ENGAGED IN VIOLENT BEHAVIOR IN THE NORTHERN QUADRANT!"

Cane couldn't help but feel a slight sinking feeling as he knew that the facility only had one inmate of A+ threat level and very few S rank inmates

"LOCKDOWN HAS BEEN INITIATED AND STRIKE TEAMS HAVE BEEN SENT! PLEASE AVOID LEAVING YOUR ROOMS!"

"I guess our session is postponed ha-ha" He couldn't help but wryly chuckle, pouring himself a small glass of vodka, after drinking the last of his spiced rum the guards had been kind enough to provide him with more liquor "I guess I'll just sit here and wait until the fight ends or…"

He didn't finish his sentence as he was shocked to hear the ringing of a phone, not just any phone either, specifically the phone that sat on his desk, the one that the overseer had assured would never be called except in the event of an emergency

Originally when he was hired one reason he was hired was that his power of nullification could be vital in the containment of certain inmates… inmates in the so-called "Victim wing". the Victim Wing was a sublevel built under the catacombs designed for the protection and containment of individuals who were unable to control their abilities, which was the original catacombs before the institution was built upon it to contain those who were much less powerful and much more insane

People within the Victim wing were not hardened criminals or serial killers like Jasmin or even Alice but instead extremely powerful individuals contained for the safety of the Populus and themselves, they generally had abilities that warped the sorrowing area, minds of people or even reality itself in a certain area

Getting up and hitting back the last of his drink he took out the gun from his safe and took out a small keycard from his desk, designed to undo the lockdown of any wing in the catacomb and his only way to the sublevel. He swiped it in front of the large door that usually was used for bringing in inmates for therapy, the same door Jasmin had been wheeled through for each of their sessions, and began to make his way directly to the cell blocks

The entrance to the Victim wing consisted of one and only one elevator that sat between cell blocks F and G and was the only way in or out, the issue with that was that if it was Alice who was the cause of all this trouble that meant she had either gotten in a fight or been ambushed on her to his office, meaning that he a high chance of accidentally running into her and whoever she was fighting

This was a bad thing if you considered that she was likely fully taken over by the wolf and had a lot of emotional buildup towards him, who knows what she might do to him… could be very bad or very good and he did not feel like betting

Making his way cautiously through the corridors and deathly quiet mess halls he could hear the distant sound of explosions, breaking glass and tearing steel, as he got closer and closer to cellblock F he could clearly make out the signs of the fight, dead guards, inmates, and rubble were strewn across the floor and walls with the occasional appearance of someone impaled on the ceiling, held up by spears that seemed to be made of red and pulsing energy, clueing him into who Alice was battling

Jasmin

Once he saw the crimson weapons that were jutting out of the dead bodies of guards and inmates alike across the halls it all clicked, if he were to judge correctly he could surmise that due to her adverse reaction of having her session pushed back in favor of someone else she had felt insulted and some extreme amount of jealousy causing her to attack said person

And as he reached cell block F his thoughts were confirmed, bodies… dozens of bodies looking as if whole chunks had been bitten off them. Remembering Jasmine description of her abilities this type of damage matched perfectly

And as he inspected the bodies an explosion went off nearby indicating how close their conflict was to his location, hell they were likely only a cell block away from him. Quickly straitening and jogging his way over to the elevator sitting next to a flight of stairs

Getting in and repeatedly pressing the button that said sublevel, while pressing his keycard against the scanner he let out a small breath of relief as the doors began to close, but not before a flash of red ignited the entire cell block, showing a woman flying through a new hole in the wall, possessing white hair, red eyes and looking a lot like Alice except much taller and sporting wolflike features such arms that seemed to be those of a werewolf from the elbow down and claws that were bared in a snarl

Had nice abbs too

As the doors closed instead of elevator music all he could hear was howling
