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?"

As Snape's familiar British tones filled the room, she felt an undeniable sense of relief fill her. He wasn't dead! This was good. Maybe he was hurt but then that could always be dealt with later. The surprise of everyone else at her calling her Watcher by her nickname went unnoticed. Not that anyone was hiding it all that well, but it wasn't important enough to think about.

"Alright then, hold your horses, we're coming in!" As Haruka blasted through the door, Faith looked surprised for a second. "Woah, girly, I'm glad you're on my side." She flashed the blonde a grin before flinging herself past her, past the broken down door and into the small supply cabinet. A girl with really wicked hair, some dude, and then the one she had come for. Her Watcher.

"Hey, don't make a damn habit of this, okay? It's not in my job discription to rescue my Watcher, just so you know." She held up the wand she still clutched in her hand. "Hey, Gomez! Catch!" This nickname, pulled from The Addams Family, made about as much sense as Skeletor did. But then, Faith was nothing if not inventive.

Winding up, she tossed her Watcher his wand easily and then looked around. "Hey, guys, how's it going?" She spoke conversationally to the other people in the room. "So, who do I have to make be in serious hurt for doing this?"

Snape took a deep breath as Uranus' energetic attack blasted past him not an inch away. Immediately after that, his eyes were assaulted by the light pouring in through the remains of the closet door. Blinking, he nevertheless was able to make out the chattering form of Faith bounding into the room.

Snatching his wand from the air, Snape instantly felt better. Suffused at once with confidence backed by magical power, he turned authoritatively to his Slayer. "Gomez? I don't know where you get these ridiculous names, but if you cannot bring yourself to call me 'sir', Snape is the only acceptable alternative!"

Briefly glancing around to see if the blonde warrior in the outrageous outfit was attending to the other captives, he answered Faith's question for them. "It seems to have been an insane woman in a catsuit."

Michiru's eyes lit up at the familiar voice shouting for them to get away from the door.
"Move!" she shouted, pushing herself up and as far away from the door as possible. Sure enough, the familiar golden energy blasted through the door and the wall opposite. She winced as her eyes tried to adjust to the sudden light. She stood up and brushed herself off, though the attack hadn't actually kicked up that much dust. She spared a curious glance at the girl who came through the door first, but she obviously most concerned with Snape. Which was fair. Michiru was mostly concerned with the blond still standing outside the blown in door.

"I'm in here, Uranus" she said, with mock exasperation. "There was no need to blow the wall out too"

Ianto did as instructed and moved back, following Michiru's example. The door was blasted open and Ianto squinted into the harsh light until his eyes grew used to it.

He stayed back and smiled slightly. It seemed his two fellow captives had people looking for them. So where was Jack? he thought with a sharp but short pang. Jack probably doesn't know I'm missing. It must not have been that long of a time. He knew if Jack couldn't find him, he'd search until he did. He trusted Jack.

But Jack wasn't here, so he stayed back, letting the others reunite.

Hearing Michiru's voice, Haruka dashed forward and into the tiny room. She spared a glance for Faith and her Watcher, an older man who looked like he'd stepped out of a horror manga, before focusing her attention on her lover. She rushed up to the other woman, and stopped short of her, folding her arms across her chest and shaking her head. "If you're going to take that tone, I can always leave you here," she teased. She smirked, then rooted around in her bag. "You dropped this," she said, holding out Michiru's henshin wand. "And I brought your mirror."

She overheard the Watcher, Snape, he insisted on being called, mention something about a woman in a catsuit. "Catsuit?" she said, raising an eyebrow and glancing around. They'd seen no one matching that description on their way up here. Perhaps the woman had realized what she'd have to deal with and fled.

Then, Haruka noticed the other man in the room. She turned and nodded to him. "Hello," she said. "Are you okay?" She glanced over at Faith to see if the other woman knew this person as well.
