Michiru hadn't come home last night. She never stayed out all night. Haruka hadn't worried when she was later than anticipated the evening before; perhaps she'd run into Legolas and they'd decided to chat. As the sun set and the stars had come out, she'd started to wonder just how late her partner was going to be. Haruka didn't like sleeping alone, and as the hours passed, began to grow worried.

She'd finally fallen asleep on the armchair near their bookcase sometime after midnight. When she'd awoken in the morning, the bed was still as crisply made as Michiru had left it the previous morning, before they'd gone out. Her mirror and communicator were still set out on the bedside table. Haruka had scowled at the communicator. Why hadn't they thought to keep them on at this strange place? Clearly, something had happened, and there was no way to know exactly what because they couldn't talk to one another.

Haruka showered and dressed quickly, and grabbed an apple from the small bowl of fruit they kept in the room to snack on during the day. She rooted around in her closet until she found an old satchel that was large enough to hold the deep aqua mirror comfortably, then slipped said mirror inside. With the bag slung over her shoulder, and her henshin wand tucked into her pocket, she stepped out into the corridor and headed toward the door.

As she stepped outside, an unusually chill wind blew past her. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. Something was definitely amiss today. She could sense it. Were Michiru here, she'd say that the sea was troubled. Haruka looked left, then right, trying to decide which way to go to begin her search. She wished she could just ask Michiru's mirror, but it wouldn't respond to her. It would have made things so much simpler, though.

She chose a direction at random and started walking, scanning the area for any sign of her lover. There were surprisingly few people around outside today, and it was a lovely day. This too bothered her. Something was definitely not right. At last, Haruka did see a person, a male she didn't recognize. "Excuse me," she said, jogging up to him, "you haven't seen a girl with green hair, have you?"

Normally, Faith wouldn't have been able to resist poking at the blonde woman further, but there were more important things. She took little seriously enough, really, but this apparently was on her list of those few things. At least enough that she wasn't willing to really take her attention off scanning every inch of the rooftop, trying and find her MIA Watcher. Pushing Haruka's buttons could happen later.

She let out a frustrated sigh as she saw that there was nothing here. What a waste of time, she was going to go find that golem who'd pointed her this way and kick it's... Wait, there was a room! Haruka had spotted it first. It didn't take long for her to take off running. Only she wasn't going for the door. That was too far away. A small window nearby was her target.

She didn't even bother to duck and cover as she hit the glass at top speed. With so much force behind it, her slender body forced its way through the window and into the room beyond. Then, she looked around, dark eyes scanning every corner.

"Hey! Skeletor! You around?"

From the cleared-out utility closet across the room, Snape could hear perfectly well the crashing of glass as Faith burst into the maintenance shed. At first, the sound of sudden violence put him on alert, but when the sound of Faith's voice calling for him followed soon after, he was reassured, if not completely relaxed. He had no doubt that she, unlike he or any of his companions in captivity, had the strength to break the simple muggle door that imprisoned them.

"Faith! I am in here! There are two others. We are unable to open the door!"

It was embarrassing to call for help in that fashion, and he restrained himself from detailing all of his current weaknesses, but it seemed most prudent to request assistance. He, Michiru, and Ianto had succeeded in removing their bonds, but had been trying for some time to open the door with no luck.

Michiru started at the sound of crashing glass. Haruka? Her hopes were dashed a moment later as she heard a distinctly not-Haruka female voice. At least it didn't sound like the kidnapper. She was surprised when Snape responded, since she was pretty sure his name was not indeed Skeletor. She couldn't be sure of course, since he hadn't had the decency to introduce himself, but it didn't quite fit.

Still, it looked like rescue might be coming. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, she slammed her fist against the door twice, to help their unknown rescuer find them.

Skeletor? Ianto wondered, casting a glance at Snape. Even though he knew who Skeletor was, he wondered how Snape had gotten that as a nickname, even if was only used just this once. No matter, though. It wasn't his business. Snape called back to the female voice and Ianto took a step back. They'd be out of there soon, thank God, so there was no need for him to make a racket. Surely their rescuer, or rescuers, could hear Snape's voice and Michiru's banging on the door.

Haruka had paused at the building to debate how best to open the door without injuring anyone who might be inside. When Faith crashed through the window, however, she decided to take her cue from the other woman. She backed up a few paces and then ran for it, leaping though the window that Faith had so kindly broken for her. She landed in a crouch just behind the other woman, who was shouting for someone named Skeletor. She raised an eyebrow at the name, but that was all. There were more important things to deal with.

"Anyone in there get away from the door!" she shouted, raising her hand above her head and summoning her power. "World Shaking!" she shouted, slamming her hand to the ground. The attack shot toward the door of the supply closet and barreled through not only it, but the far wall as well. It hit well above the doorknob, so Haruka could only hope the people inside, if there were any, had the sense to duck.

"Michiru!" she called. She took a step forward, then hesitated. What if no one was there, and it was just a trap?
