  The ship would reach Shanghai within an hour due to it flying at the speed of sound a little outside of the Earth's orbit. Hellion kept the ship cloaked as it landed quietly. Stepping out to the back, this was her first time in China, but she was here for work. "Alright Waller... here I go." She sighed as walked to the back of her ship. By this time Ruby and the others should have been awake for a few minutes or about to.
The power collar on Ruby's neck would still be active, effectively blocking her powers. "Alright Shen, you wanted to run your busy. Then get your a** ready." Hellion said with a hint of strain and distaste in her tone. The type of thing you'd hear in a boss that didn't want to something. When Ruby had responded or at least seemed to be affirmed to be up, she'd speak. "If you. Any of you try to kill me, I'll blow you. If you try to run away, I'll blow you. If you try to do anything, but the mission. I'll blow you up. If you double, triple, or quadrauple cross me, I will blow your a** to hell and drag you back to do it again. Do you all understand?" She asked, waiting for their responses.

Ruby awoke ,slightly dazed, but incredibly irritated.
Knocking her out, putting a collar on her neck, where was the trust these days?
"Bite me" the chinese lass said as she got to her feet and stretched her arms above her head and took note of how much heavier her body felt than usual.
Upon realizing that they had arrived at her home Ruby sighed and clenched one of her hands until her nails broke the skin and blood trickled from between her fingers.
"Why are we at my home? I already have a base set up back in America, we could have easily just gone there and I could do everything I needed without even leaving the country. Also I dont suppose you got my guns did you?"

Hitting the button on Ruby's holding cell, she'd be free to walk out. "They're being delivered." She muttered as she mentally told the ship to reveal itself. The purpose was to cause alarm in the fact a giant blue and white ship was out in the middle of the estate. Anyone in the residence would be out in a matter of moments. But know she had their attention. The ramp to the outside world would open, allowing Ruby to walk out on her.
"This is exactly where, you need to be." Hellion said, gesturing her to move down the ramp to the world. The others would be able to see the entire exchange as well.
Out of the three she got from the prison, Ruby was the most dangerous of them all. Well the most apparent one. Everything that was about to happen, would set the tone of how the team operated. "Let's just get this over with. We have things to do. Orders to follow." After all, the world ran on orders.

Ruby sighed and stepped down the ramp. First private order of business for her was to grab a new set of clothes, these drab prison duds simply wouldn't do for combat.
"I'll ask you again, why am I in China? I hope you don't expect a welcoming committee because nobody works here while I'm out on business, dog keepers are back in the states, garden works on a sprinkler system and business is done over skype while I'm out. Now would you mind if I go to my room? I'd at least like to look presentable"

Hellion watched Ruby walk down the ramp and sighed in frustration. This girl was everything, but easy to deal with. Walking to the apex of the ramp, she merely crossed arm and focused on her power as she channeled the strength of the t-rex, the durability of a beetle. She was getting agitated and she wanted to just punch something, but she couldn't. So just knowing the power that flowed in her veins were present, it eased her. Stopped her from doing the regrettable.
"Just get the ones here, here! And no. You can't." She barked, practically tossing a cell phone at her. They didn't have all day to play this game. "No excuses. Just. Do it." Tightening her fist, she breathed out, allowing all the anger to flow out of her.
Hopefully, she didn't have to use the bomb card. That was the last thing she wanted to use. It showed that she had little control of the situation. Well at least in the eyes of the other convicts. The one thing Ruby didn't know was, this connection she had was the reason she needed her. If she didn't do it soon under her conditions, she would be terminated.

Ruby sighed in annoyance, this girl clearly couldn't listen and obviously had no patience. Not much of a leader in that respect.
With an almost bored expression she caught the phone thrown at her without looking and dialed a number into the keypad
"Pôk gai" she muttered as she waited for the line to connect.
<<"Hey, it's Shen...never mind my operations stateside I'm back in town for a short while">> she spoke into the phone in perfect traditional chinese
<<"Enough with the questions Lin, I don't keep you on payroll so you can ask questions. I'm at my house right now, Bring Winston, "Big Smile", and Uncle Po and bring protection. I'm not sure how this will go down. Also...bring me my special package.....Yeah that one. Alright....Shen out.">>
She sighed and ended the call
"Alright I've got some friends coming over" the Chinese lass said as she strolled over to a nearby koi pond and sat cross legged in front of it "It'll be maybe twenty minutes before they get here so find some way to entertain yourselves. Also...." She placed her hands in her lap, palms up and knuckles together "At the very least try to be polite. We're a culture of honor and respect and my boys work much better when there's a sense of mutual respect at a meeting."
Ruby fell silent as she began meditating on how she would handle the situation if it got out of control. Her fellow leaders would be here shortly ,each with a t least two or three guards with them and every single one of them wearing protective gear and armed to the teeth.
If the red headed girl didn't watch herself even a little, Big Smile would undoubtedly mouth off first. He hated women, he only tolerated Ruby because of her strength and position, uppity American women weren't exactly on his list of favorite people.
With a deep calming inhale Ruby' s hands rose and came together ,palms touching, before she pulled one close to her chest and pushed the other outward. If nothing else this sitting tai chi would give her a little balance and let her figure out how to diffuse arguments in the best way possible.

Amanda Waller sighed with frustration as she watched the event at the Shen Triad headquarters. The satellites she had borrowed from the CIA gave her a bird's eye view and, well, a disappointing ringside seat to her agent being made a mockery of.
They used the phone to pinpoint who Ruby was calling and then hacked that phone to pin point where all of her associates were. They had the whole Shen Triad pinged as red dots all away across the globe in a matter of minutes. This person had called that person and that person another until the Triad was webbed and their identities exposed to A.R.G.U.S. Hellion was now the only thing standing between herself and the usurping the entire Triad from out of Shen's feet was her. Waller leaned over towards her communicator and pushed down the button to talk to Jane. "The Wall to Hellion. Get control of the situation: now. I won't appreciate my agents being made a mockery out of. You know this Jane. I thought we had been over this already."
Waller's lips curved into a vindictive smile as she once again leaned closer to the microphone and slowly laid down the law. It could have been a shout, or a scream, a loss of control that would have been heard by everyone around her. But that wasn't Waller's style. "Show Shen who is in control here. Or we will motivate you in other ways. Get creative. THE WALL out."
The line suddenly went dead. Hellion was on her own now.

Hellion didn't know Chinese or any other language besides English. Something she should have taught if she had more time. But one thing she did know however, she was saying way too much for a simple come meet me. But the thing was, from the time Hellion got her out of that cell, she knew something about Ruby. She'd be trouble and a backstabber. By allowing her to have access to her "Business" meant she'd double cross her the first chance she got.
The funny thing though, Waller almost seemed to confirm what she was thinking even if she was doubting her abilities. She needed things to play out, just the way they were. "Just let it happen. I have this." Hellion said into her comm link. Threatening her would get her something Waller wouldn't want, she needed everything to play out the way she planned. However, if Waller made the demand or said another word about it. She'd have to act. That leverage couldn't be harmed... she couldn't let anymore harm come to her. If Deathstroke taught her anything, it was to stay strong even if you're weak. And that what she planned to do.
Stepping off the ship, the ship would cloak itself, but slowly take off into the sky. It was so quiet that she wouldn't have realized that it was gone. Activating an additional power, she used the hearing of the dog. "Just be ready." She said into her comm.
(OOC: In Four posts, they'll be here. 1/4)

Ruby continued her meditation ,never once stopping the slow fluid movements of her hands or breaking the pattern of her breathing until she suddenly rocked backwards. When it seemed she was about to hit her head Ruby caught herself with her hands and kicked her legs up until she was in a handstand, then pushed herself straight up into a flip.
"Okay" she thought as she landed in a crouch "Agility and reflexes are still there, magic didn't give me those so makes sense that they still work"
As she rose from her crouch the thought occurred to the Chinese lass that since this was her home she should at least be hospitable
"Hey" she said , looking over her shoulder as Hellion and the two other prisoners as she began stretching "Anybody hungry?Thirsty? I think I've got some chips and tea in the pantry, maybe a couple of fresca left."

As the time neared, Hellion felt the need to do something very important. Even with her durability, she could deflect bullets, but she never wanted to test them encase one lucky bullet found it's way. Her helmet rising up, it covered her head completely, showing only glowing red eyes slits. She was only watching Ruby and listening to the rest of the world, she could hear the entire surround area, so whenever they got here, she'd know.
But now that she had thought about it, Waller seemed to be able to find her to swiftly. Of course she wasn't on the run, but her ability to find her in almost no time at all... She was tracking her through one means or another. Unlike everyone else, her head was bomb free. So it made sense she'd track her through some means, but what?
Now's not the time, focus.
OOC: You have the reflexes of a person that does strenous activies along with normal agility. Meaning you can't dodge a bullet at super speed or stuff like that.
Also the prisoners are still on the ship. Ruby is the only one off.

When no answer came Ruby sighed and leaned against a tree near the koi pond. Christ this girl was no fun.
With nothing to do but wait Ruby closed her eyes and went back into her meditative state. She needed to consider how to keep the others under control when they got here, if they saw Ruby in a collar who knew how they might react.
As the chinese lass pondered the sound of roaring engines reached her ears.
"Finally" she muttered as she straightened up and walked back to her previous position by the redhead .
Soon three cars slowly rolled up the driveway to the courtyard, one slick black luxury vehicle, an orange muscle car with a rumbling engine and what appeared to be a ferrari with bullet hole decals along the side.
"Hey boss!" a skinny looking man of about 19 stepped out of the muscle car and smiled followed by three other men of considerable size and so much muscle mass they probably had a rigorous schedule of about twelve steroid injections a day.
"Jackie" Ruby said with a nod "Winston, you guys bring my package?"
"Sure did" the skinny one called Jackie said as he held up a silver briefcase and carried it over to Ruby who took it with an eager smile.
"What is this about?" one of the angrier looking of the muscled men, Winston Ruby had called him, demanded as the two other members stepped out from their vehicles.
"We've got a new partnership offer" Ruby said as she opened the briefcase and ran her hands over the patterned fabric within "Apparently so urgent it couldnt wait "
"What kind of partnership?" a man in a black business suit and a nasty Glasgow smile scar ,Big Smile, snapped "What kind of deals could you possibly have gotten in the short time you've been-"
"Lee.." the final guest said as he hobbled away from his vehicle with a concerned looking helper on either side as he leaned on his cane. "You should stop doubting our leader. She's a clever girl and has led us very well while she's been in charge, I'm certain she's found a fine partner for our little family"
"Thank you Uncle" Ruby said with a bow before stripping out of her prison clothes without any trace of embarrassment or shame despite the expressions of the group of men and assistants watching.
"Before this meeting gets underway" the lass said as she tugged a pair of leather pants into place followed by a pair of black boots "I would like all assistants to and fellow leaders to give our guest the respect you would give me"
On went a black tank top followed by a long sleeved top with a collar rolled down , a mini corset and finally a black leather jacket and studded belt
"And if I see even one of you reaching for your firearms out of anger, so help me I will cut off your arms and legs , stuff you in an oil drum and ship you to America where you'll be fed to me dogs!. Am I understood?"
The men looked at their black clad leader and all responed with a unanimous "Yes Ma'am!'
"Well, you've got the floor" Ruby said with a look toward Hellion"

Unlike Ruby, Jane could hear the sound of the cars coming from miles away, but she gave no sign of hearing them in advance. She looked in their direction when they got there. Dropping the power of the dog, she channeled the agility of a snake and the speed of an ant. Yet no one would be able to tell, what she was doing or even thinking. It was better like this, simply much better. There was no vibe to be picked up that would cause them to react in an unpredictable manner. Simply an armored figure with no identity. Among criminals, there was no trust.
Waller would question why she let people she didn't know come so close to her, but there was one sole purpose to this. She was not scared of these people, so she would not show anything. Just the mysterious power she held while she led Ruby around like a dog. Funny thing was, like a little lost puppy, she returned to Hellion's side. Something she probably didn't even realize. It was like she had said at the prison, she owned the b***h.
Watching the show go on, Hellion merely listened and observed them like an enemy would before a battle. Yet not everyone could do such things. Hellion's mind was one in a million, like Deathstroke, Waller, and the late Batman. They could see a move far in advance, but she would become greater than them all. This was just one of the first steps.
As the words, "Well, you've got-", came out of her mouth. Hellion made her move. Like a snake with smooth grace from her crossed arm position, her hand would wrap around Ruby's neck (above the collar) at a speed far greater than a point blank bullet, what seemed to be lightning, no one present, but herself could even see her hand move. If hadn't been for the agility of the snake, Ruby's head would have went flying off. The grip was strong enough that no one, but someone of Superman caliber could break her grip. No one present was even capable of harming her, even with armor piercing rounds since they'd merely bounce of her armor. "The floor? Thank you." Hellion questioned with her steel grip on Ruby's neck, lifting her into the air. As a normal human, Ruby had no hope, especially since she had been standing right next to her.
Sending a command to her ship in that instant, it uncloaked itself from high the sky and released three energy beams down from above onto the Shen Estate (the house). The concussive impact alone would send everyone, but Hellion and Ruby flying at least ten or twenty feet as the house and the attachments ceased to exist. Nothing, but a crater would be left.
"There is no partnership. There never was going to be anything of that nature." She spoke with a loud and powerful voice. Her grip increased on neck, something that would trigger her to feel intense pain. "You slaughtered men of honor and valor for nothing. You pathetic whore. This triad..." Every single feeling about her sister, the only family she had left, came back to her. The rage, the fear, the lust for revenge. She could feel the burning desire in her soul. Her sister had been framed for mass murder and was being held hostage in the prison system because of it. While a true mass murder ran free. There was no justice in that.
"...it is going to a better place under my leadership. Goodbye... Ruby Shen." In what seemed to be a blink of an eye, Hellion would backhand Shen's head with the force of 30 tons at high speeds. On impact she would die as her head would seemly explode outwardly in a spray of blood, bone, and brains. Something that her colleagues would see with their very eyes as their cars were covered with it. With her death, she would drop Shen's headless body, only to see the blood on her armored hand. She released a red blast of concussive energy to her left that would remove the blood and destroy the ground for fifty yards away from them. "Stand with me and the new triad, or I'll make you regret ever being born."

Even in death, Shen would be a pain her a**. The words coming from the old man's mouth would be the very words he'd regret. In her world, everything slowed down. At blurring speeds as they moved for their guns, gripping the handle of Carrion, it transformed into a broadsword in her hand while the other grabbed Deadbolt and then pushed off. The push off was something like a disappearance act due to the high speeds she was moving. It was almost like a running push off, but at the potential speed she could go, the twenty feet between was nothing. She was like a bullet from a sniper rifle, one second she was her and the next she was gone.
Appearing behind them all, she'd swing the broadsword in a slide slash at the head of one of the guards near the old man, rotating her body with it. Hellion would follow through the motion, firing three shots from the handgun, Deadbolt, using taser bullets (electrically charged bullets) that would knock out anyone they hit due to them being capable of stunning metas. A bullet aimed would be aimed for Winston and Big Smile and for a henchmen sticking close to Lee. It was highly unlikely that any would be able to dodge due to her marksmanship, the vanishing act she pulled, and the fact they were bullets at near point blank.
Hellion would chuck the sword like a throwing knife at one of the four remaining guards and almost in a fraction of a second, she would release three more round within a fraction of second. One for each of the guards. The fact they were all normal human, even if amped on steroids. The only person that would still be standing would be the old man.
"Join me or die. Last chance old man."
OOC: Any npcs hit with those bullets will knocked out and no longer in your control. If the old man agrees, you'll no longer have control of him or the triad. If he refuses, he'll die and you'll lose control of the triad anyways.
