Alli ran into Hal on the way to the bridge and they continued there together. The intercom came to life and agent Coulson's voice was heard calling, "I need Strobe and Howler on the bridge please. Strobe and Howler, to the bridge."
"That's us." Alli said, "Come on, let's hurry up." Suddenly she burst into a run and left a sky blue and white trail behind her, the color of her super suit. She had disappeared around a corner within a second. She was gifted with speed and used it well. Alli was at the bridge a few seconds later and waiting for Hal. Agent Coulson was pulling up files on the computer so that they would know what they were dealing with.
Hal finally ran up on all fours and skidded to a stop. He stood up and joked, "You gotta stop leaving me behind like that, Alli!" Hal's four long, metal claws that came from the knuckles at the base of his fingers glistened in the sunlight, along with the single, shorter claw that grew from the tip of his thumb. "What's the mission today, Colson?"
"It appears that Magneto and some of the other mutants have decided that it's a good idea to try and take over the JFK International Airport so that they can make it their HQ. The police are attempting to handle it, but they called us for reinforcements. We thought you'd be a good fit for the job."
"Sounds good." Alli affirmed. She turned to Hal and said, "Come on, I'll start the chopper." She ran out the door and was waiting at the helicopter pad with the engine running when Hal ran up.
"Ready for take off?" Hal asked, as he slid into the pilot's seat.
"You bet." Alli responded, as Hal lifted the chopper into the air.
