JAYSON WRIGHT
Jayson took a step back so that he was in a raised position, this was so he could see who was in the crowd just as much as they could see him. He watched Adora take out the guards and put them somewhere safe, it was only after the last one was stuck under the bleachers did it occur to him to take their armour. Most had dropped their stun rods but then again they were strapped for time and he didn't feel like it was that necessary. He watched Adora run back to him and leaned closer so that she could climb up onto him. "Good to know, the next batch will be a troublesome lot." He glanced at the doors, they were still closed and would stay that way until the elites arrived and were ready to commence the subjugation. Veronica had done a magnificent job at making everyone shut up, a couple of pyro's were watching the embers but most of the inmates were now looking in his direction. He finished surveying the crowd and grinned. "Listen up. Right now we've all taken part in a brawl that has led to several guards being knocked out. The minimum punishment for something like that is a trip to the minus floors." He paused for effect. The minus floors where the warden handled the real punishments, the few who returned from them were never the same: hollow husks that lived as a reminder of who was in control. "In a few minutes, the warden's elites are gonna burst through that door and after that we can all kiss goodbye to freedom." He paused again, this time to read the crowd. "I say we fight. I say we put our heads together, combine our powers and take over." There was a murmur and then several 'Yeah's' and finally a great cheer. Jayson gave a wicked grin. "Great!"
"Veronica, is your breath hot enough to melt steel? There is a door on the other side of the yard that leads to another stairwell, it's a little old but we need to seal that off. If you can't weld it shut, take the big guy at the back and..." He pointed at another two inmates in tank tops. "Those two and see if you can warp it in the frame. Hurry back, I need you for other things." He wasn't sure what yet but there was always something. "Squid bits, good job with the cameras. I want you on vent duty, take a couple of guys and work out if there is another way off this roof. There should be. I just need to know if it's an option, no need to explore it." He motioned towards a large fan that was inside a pipe under the guard tower. "Okay, that leaves the rest of us to cover the main door and work out how to deal with the anti-deviant guards. You, wax guy, seal it up and and then keep an ear out." He paced back and forth for a moment, he had been fortunate enough to see how the guards operated. "Okay, there is going to be several people in... Let's call it power armour, they'll have guns and riot shields. They may issue a warning." This was mainly for Adora's sake as most of the inmates knew what the elites looked like. "I'm thinking either, I bite my way through the floor and we bait them into the spot and they'll fall through. Or we drop something heavy on them, like a hippo. Neither is good in practice." They had to decide quickly though as they probably didn't have long left.

┏━━━━━━━━━┓ Naomi Watch ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ With a rousing speech, orders handed out, and an apparent go-ahead from the guy who ran most things on the inside, everyone set to work. "Aye aye captain!" Naomi said cheerfully. She quickly picked two of the closest inmates and trotted over to the vent. Strength was something Naomi lacked, but luckily her two companions had not much better to do most days than work detail or bench presses in the gym. It took several minutes, but with no guards to stop them, the pair managed to pry off metal mesh covering the fan. In retrospect, it was probably a safety mesh and not one to stop prisoners from escaping. Inside, metal blades whirled rapidly around. Anyone who crawled in there wasn't going to make it out the other side alive. Or in one piece. "Bat." Naomi held her hand like she was a surgeon and the muscle with her were two nurses. One of them placed a bat firmly in her hand, pilfered from one of the poor guards. She honestly wasn't sure why they were trying to climb out from behind the bleachers. Scared she supposed, or waiting for backup. Either way, she thrust the end of the bat into the spinning blades of death in an attempt to jam the blades.
What happened next was both more awesome and less effective than she would have liked. In a shower of sparks, and a violent banging sound, the bat was wrenched from her hand, flying backwards. It bearly missed Naomi, but one of the prisoners wasn't so lucky. The end of the bat cracked him on the forehead. He fell backwards, unconscious, blood leaking from the wound the bat had made. "Well, that's unfortunate." Though by her tone she didn't sound all that upset. Rather more thoughtful as it seemed jamming the fan was going to be harder than expected. Hopefully, Veronica was having more luck melting the door.

He frowned slightly. "No, I'm saying it wouldn't work, I'm like ninety percent sure you'd break your legs if you fell on them with the intent to KO them. I think we can do a little better than that." He grinned and then turned to survey the others. "No powers, most of the guards are just people trying to get by. The suits make them stronger, like bear levels of strong. I saw a few of them subdue a guy with super-strength." He watched Veronica transform and wondered if she really needed help. The people with her looked like they were waiting for her command. "Just weapons I should think." He turned his attention towards Naomi who was attempting to disable the fan and noticed Jacob, giving his own orders as his eyes passed over the crowd. "To be fair, their artificially strong and rely on the suit, reminds me of someone else with that MO." He nudged her. Then clapped his hands and grinned, inspiration had struck. "Oh! That's a good idea." He looked to Adora as if she had suggested the plan. "Their still the same underneath!" He walked over to the vent where Naomi was working, eyed the still moving fan and considered commenting on it, but decided against it because he had no idea how to stop it himself. "Bit of a weird question, on a scale of one to ten, how much squid are you?" He paused, then decided to explain. "The reason I ask, I've had a thought those big guys, could you invade their space and get inside their armour, you know like how octopi can fit through the eye of needles or other tiny holes." He was pretty sure that was a real thing, otherwise they world probably just have to point veronica at them and work out how to support her.
"Of course we'll need a distraction, nobody is just going to let you waltz up and step inside them." He looked at Veronica who still looked busy. "I suppose we could use the guards." His heart wasn't really in it, kicking a dog while it was down wasn't really his style. Not unless that dog really deserved it, in which case he would be the first to take it around back. Those guards didn't really qualify for that treatment, they hadn't done anything to him personally and giving people the benefit of the doubt is what separated them from Dominion. "I suppose we could line up a few of them and make demands, it should slow them down or at least make them think twice before rushing us." He was thinking hard as he said it so it came out rather pained. "Five. That's a noticeable number." He rubbed his eyes for a second, then looked at the other inmates. "Line up five guards, I want them kneeling and in the centre where they can be seen." He turned back to Naomi and Adora, while the inmates took to dragging out the guards. "Needs must I suppose. Do you think it would work? Getting inside the armour, I mean. Adora could fly you in, Veronica helps me on stage and then the both of you disable the guards from the inside. Or Adora, your on stage and Veronica firebombs them." He wasn't really sure how long she could remain in her half-dragon form after all.

Veronica walks towards the door in stands a couple feet away from it, Veronica instructs the other team man to stand on either side of the door as close by as far away as possible so they are not in the way of the flames, " alright, in this form I can hold a flame for a few seconds at a time and only a couple of times a day. So I will need you two to finish up whatever I leave unfinished, but I should leave things easier for you. " with that said, she takes a firm stance and digs her heal talons, as much as possible and let's out a big exhale then takes a deep breath, and as she inhales, like before her chest expands and lights up, brighter then before and an even bigger fire ball or more like two to three flamethrowers spew forth and with a rush hits the metal door and within a few seconds it heats up, she stops it and takes another deep breath and does the same thing again, and repeats the process 3 more times and then stops and exhales black ash, and looks at the door and see's that the door is melted except for a couple of corners but the job is mostly done.

Jayson nodded, eight parts squid was better than ten parts squid since she could still think like a person, not that squids weren't smart just that they lacked motivation. "That's fine, i think once your in nobody is going to get close enough to pull you out. Those suits have big fingers." He shrugged. "Use them to take out the others, or eject the occupant and move on to the next, honestly it's going to be your show when you get in there and you can decide how it ends." He turned to admire Veronica's handiwork, he had missed most of the show mostly because he was trying to work out if shoving a human sized squid inside a suit of power armour that occupied was a good idea or not. He decided that only the most paranoid of developers would create a system that could cope with that sort of scenario and suits with that system were probably more expensive that the standard model. Whether the prison had bought those or the standard model, he couldn't speculate. Jacob and Naomi's joint assertion that dragons were good at threatening hostages threw him slightly. "What? No! Dragons eat people, it'd be like threatening people with Nukes that are already in the air. Your thinking of Cerberus. Or something slightly more tame." He gave Jacob a sideways look and then shrugged, before walking over to Veronica. "Good job with the door, nobody is getting through there." He grinned at her, but chose his next words carefully as not to cause offence. "Sorry about ordering you around, it's mainly for effect. We're going to do this thing with hostages, are you alright to keep going or do you need some time?" He had known other deviants who could only use their powers for a set time or had restrictions on their powers, Veronica seemed to have similar limits. He knew he did. There was a crash behind him and the sounds of prisoners doubling their efforts to hold the door. "Their here." He stated flatly without bothering to look. It would take them about two minutes to get through the door. If they were feeling theatrical.

┏━━━━━━━━━┓ Naomi Watch ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ "Aye aye captain!" Naomi grinned, rather excited about the prospect of getting free reign inside one of the guard's suits. Almost immediately her imagination ran wild with visions of firing rockets while flying through the air with the suits jet packs and taking over half of the city. Veronica at her side, wings spread wide and spewing flames at anyone who tried to stop them. Of course, the suit didn't have jet packs or rockets, but she didn't let that ruin her daydream. Veronica popped a pill, making no effort to hide it, piquing Naomi's interest. The prison was far from drug-free, but naturally, the inmates hid such activities from the guards lest they be punished. Was the delectable dragon so bold as to not care if the warden found out about the substance she was carrying? Perhaps it was moot since they were in the middle of trying to break out, but it would be a shame to lose the contraband should they fail. While Veronica and Jayson discussed her powers Jacob strolled over, though he didn't say anything, just sort of smiled at her. Oddly, Naomi grinned back. "I hope whatever you're planning is as exciting as all of this." It was time to get moving though. Her body and clothing took on the colour and texture of whatever was behind her. Not quite invisible, but definitely difficult to look out. The effect had once been described to her as their eyes wanted to slide over her and attempting to stare directly at her for too long was nausea-inducing. Either way, the camouflaged cephalopod pranced across the yard to position herself against the wall near the door. When the guard broke in she'd be positioned behind them.

Jayson grinned when Veronica said she was fine, and found himself impressed that she could pull off five more blasts like the one that melted the door. "I don't think it should be necessary. Join me on stage and we'll be the distraction." Jacob was right to some extent, Veronica would draw the guards attention than he ever could. He walked through the crowd of inmates to the line of guards that had been forced to kneel, the stage was more of a clearing with a straight path to the door. He didn't really want to kill the guards before him, but the occasion was calling for blood and he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get away from the idea without having the crowd turn on him as well. "Shiv, anyone?" He shouted at the crowd and someone from C Block rushed forward, handing him a sharpened spoon. He fought hard against his desire to just eat it, at this point it was almost second nature to just bite through weapons and pretend that it was an accident. He gave the weapon a few experimental slashes to get a feel for it, before nodding to the man who was way too eager to get his shiv on stage, Jayson wasn't actually sure if there was anyone else from C Block around. He took his position, shiv in hand, checked where everyone was and placed the shiv close to the throat of the closest guard. The door exploded, the inmates who had been reinforcing it were thrown clear and smoke billowed out of the opening. "Alright, we're..." He began.
Stop. Disarm. Sit down.
A voice spoke into the heads of everyone who had a contract with the warden, Jayson having two, had stopped talking and dropped the shiv before he realised what he was doing. He was now in the process of fighting himself and had fallen into a kneel. Jayson wasn't the only person who felt the effects, the majority of the inmates had already succumbed to the orders, unable to resist the power behind them.

The Warden
Theodore Zane waited behind the one of his guards who was busy pounding on the door, the edges were already starting to bend and so he ordered a second to join in and sure enough the pair together were enough the blow the door clean off it's hinges. He had been doing a crossword when he had been informed of the riot in progress and decided that it would be more efficient if he just dealt with it himself now rather than letting it go on and risking dragging more inmates into it. "Stop. Disarm. Sit down." He spoke with his power, directly into the heads of anyone and everyone who had a contract with him, it was convenient in times like this although he found it hurt his voice if he spoke like that all the time. He stepped through the door, to silence, swiftly followed by two guards, then another two and finally two more. They were as Jayson had predicted wearing power suits, although these were new and offered no holes for Naomi to enter. Speaking of Naomi, the warden pointed at her first. "Good afternoon, Ms. Watch, for appearances sake I'm taking you to solitary. Please try to stay there this time." One of his guards broke away to capture her. He walked down the path created in the void of inmates. He stopped and looked at Jacob, who was standing besides a destroyed vent. He made a mental note to get that repaired. "Ah ha, Mr. Freeman, I though I might find you up here, I've been meaning to talk to you about that stunt you pulled in the men's the other day. Solitary." Another guard dispatched himself. He stopped suddenly. "Adora Cruz, well that explains Jayson's outburst. You can wait in my office." He moved on. He finally came to a stop again on the stage where Jayson and Veronica were located. "Veronica, I did say that you would need to clear your transformations with my guards before you actually did them." Two of his power armored guards approached either side of her, just to be safe. "We'll be taking you to solitary with the rest, you understand." He looked at Jayson who was still trying to stand despite the obvious futility of it. "Mr Wright. Stand." Jayson nearly fell over as his body complied. "Come along then, solitary awaits." He clapped his hands did an about face and walked back towards the door. "Oh, and the rest of you. Roof access will be suspended while the doors and vent is repaired, exercise time will be held in the canteen under heavy supervision. I'll also think of something else more appropriate for those that assaulted my officers." He stopped when he got to the door and motioned for a squad of regular guards to deal with the loose ends.
