And she could feel that. Rose backed away from that, taking a different path.

-He shivers, and tries to find his way out of Rose's mind-

Rose's breathing got very shallow all of a sudden, her body starting to shake more. A cracking noise coming from her hands as she tried not to crush Armok's head in her hands. With a breathing fit, she pulled back, releasing him.

-He closes his hands around her wrists, then leans his forehead against hers- ... Are you alright?

Rose didnt move. She kept her eyes closed, her breathing uneven. "G-gett-getting The-there" She stammered, her hands methodically closing into fits, tightening and then opening back up again.

-His eyes close... and he lets go of her wrists. His own hands clench into fists, and he grits his teeth. The pain in her hands, however, are completely gone- Thank you, for that. It might not be everything, but it is a damn good start.

Rose didn't move from where she was standing. She barely replied with her very quiet "Welcome"

-He tilts her chin up with one only slightly twitching hand, and looks into her eyes- I didn't see anything you don't want me to have seen. I know I'm bad at grammar, but I think you understood that. -He kisses her forehead- Thank you, for giving me what you have tonight. I owe you one. -He smiles at her faintly, then turns to walk back to base-

Rose still didn't react much. She just nodded her head, mumbling another "Welcome." As soon as he turned to walk back to the base, Rose stumbled back a little and sat on the ground. "Fu-uuuck. My head." She rubbed at her temples slowly.

-Armok walked through the shadows, wiggling fingers he thought were surely broken. Curious tendrils of darkness latch onto his legs and chest as he walks, and before he is half-way to the base, liquid darkness has secured itself to most of his body. He glances at it in annoyance, taking a break from the memories that were just returned to him- ... -The darkness becomes a cloak, and a faint smirk tugs the corners of his lip as he walks the rest of the way in silence, a true shadow of death-

Rose scooted back against the nearest tree and closed her eyes. She wasn't concerned about getting back to the base. She wasn't scared of anything that might be outside. Rose wasn't going to fall asleep. There was a point in insomnia when where you couldn't tell the difference between sleeping and being awake. It was all the same. She closed her eyes and stayed against the tree. She would be there until she felt like moving.

-He pauses, then runs a hand through his hair. He can feel her more acutely... and can tell she hasn't moved. He heads back towards her, shrouded in the darkness, in his element- ... -Minutes later, he crouches in front of her, as silent as death's kiss. He smiles down at her semi-conscious body, and kisses his fingertips. He puts them over her eyes without touching her, then covers her with the cloak of darkness. As the pure shadow covers her head. the voices stop abruptly, and Armok steps back into the shadow without a sound-

Rose had been up for maybe an hour now. She was horribly surprised. She had actually fallen asleep. Why? The voices had stopped. She couldn't tell you how because she couldn't remember, but they did. For a few solid hour, Rose couldn't hear anyone's thoughts. She ran a hand through her hair and sat on the edge of the roof, yawning softly.

Mean while. In the thresholds of the base a plot was beginning to unfold. A figure in the cover of a transparency camouflage and the troops began their ways into the base. AFR was sitting down with Fem-puter as a few alarms went off.
"hmmm." He went into deep thought. as he scoped the security cams.
Meanwhile the group outside already started scaling the walls.

Rose wasn't even paying attention to the alarms. Her mind was slow to start working today. She was recovering from actual sleep. Something she didn't get.

AFR equipped and headed to the disturbance as the scouts made their way to the roof. They were quiet as ninjas, but obviously military in background. Her peaceful awakening lasted all of about 5 seconds before she was grabbed from behind by a scout with intent of a quick, break neck, kill.

Rose could feel other people enter the area simply due to Empathy. So she wasn't completely oblivious. She snarled as she was grabbed and grabbed the scout, energy ripping into his arm from her fingertips and flipped onto the roof.

As Rose flips she could see no one, but feel many. No telling how many were on the roof or just in the base in general. She could understand their intentions were her. One frequency in particular was giving the commands, one she knew well.
AFR made his way in the hall before being tackled by... nothing at all and wrestled to the ground. He began fighting back with the nothing figure and if anyone had saw this... it'd be funny to say the least as AFR pulled up the figure and started battling it. The classic punching at nothing and getting hit by nothing it actually looked like he was doing it as a joke.
On the roof however Battle was actually serious as Rose found herself surrounded and sort of in a classic martial arts movie scenario she was about to be attacked by a ring of invisible men. The first one aimed a kick for her face coming from her left side.

Rose figured out exactly what was going on very quickly. She had this type of training so she wasn't oblivious to it. Rose closed her eyes. Empathy and her mental abilities would keep her from losing this, just saying. Empathy gave her general whereabouts of people as well. How do you think she tracked everyone down. She could hear thoughts. "Izzy, you insufferable whore, I thought you fucking died already" Energy lashed out around her.

~"Love you too, doll, but this must end today."~ She could hear his laughter.
Everyone around her got the command to think of... everything. Suddenly Rose's mind was barraged with very mundane things like "The Song that Never Ends" and "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" Like her these scouts were taught to fight without using their minds. So the battle was as even as it could be given they had no powers. As the few that got hit by her energy pulled themselves back up more joined and suddenly it was a true battle. Fists and legs were coming from all over the place. It seems like Izzy had prepared for this to be a last stand.
