The green man acting so quickly simply affirmed her opinions on them. Thye couldn't stick around, despite their friendliness. They were too quick to act without thinking. A liability, considering the circumstances. Regardless, after scanning the area once more, they dropped down the hole, covering the hole as they did so.
Above them, a call was made.
"Target is confirmed. Very likely the Infinite you were looking for, ma'am." replied one voice, androgynous sounding but somewhat synthesized.
"Good. Any complications?" came the other, a rather formal woman's voice.
"None so far, however the target appears to be travelling with... honestly, ma'am, they appear to be a man made of condensed glowing gas of some description. Scans show nothing like it."
"Curious. Continue to follow."
"Affirmative, ma'am."
The first thing Koi noted was the smell. A rancid and foul odor to most, and Koi was unfortunately part of that most. Her eyes widened as she held her nose close with her fingers.
"You's be really luckystuffs to not have a nose, Mr. Marshmellow." Koi replied. "Lead the ways. Maybes kinda fast-likes."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Jenny's teasing might have had a better affect on Alex had it not been for the rather serious situation. He was prone to blushing whenever Jenny did something like that, but it only worked in relaxed environments. At the moment Alex was too focused on what was going on. His facial expression didn't change much as he jumped down after Jenny and walked down the short hallway. Once Jason was inside he would have seen their little hole simply ended in a dead end, but he would likely have an idea as to why that was.

Seeing how her teasing had little effect, Jennifer simply gave a light yet knowing sigh before sliding all the way down to the bottom, to which Alex had followed. Jason took a look down the hole and followed suit, actually using the rungs of the ladder to get down. When he finally made it down, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He knew there was more to this room than just a dead end, though he did not know what.

With everyone inside, Alex was able to relax a bit. "Finally" he spoke aloud before letting his shoulder's relax. "Can you get the door please?" he asked without really specifying who, although Jenny probably knew more about how to lock them than Jason. As this happened he went to the seemingly dead end of the short hallway and with his good arm, touched the wall and slid it to the side. The back wall started to move, rotating farther and farther until Jason would have seen a doorway slide into view. The lights from the round spinning room showed the walls to be a heavy concrete with a sort of lead layer in the center. No way in hell anyone would find him down here if Jason didn't want to be found.
On the opposite end of the room was another short hallway ending in a metal door with the word "ENTER" written above it. Even if anyone managed to find one of the entrances, they were all pretty well protected by layers of doors and gates only an esper with the right powers could open. Anyone trying to force their way in would cause plenty of sound. "Home sweet hole in the ground." Alex said as he waited by the door to the round room, waiting for his two travel buddies to go ahead in.

Immediately after Jason made contact with the ground, the door above closed shut and sealed itself tight, thanks to Jen. After that, Jason followed by Jennifer entered the chamber. Jason slowed his walk as he paused to look at this room's construction, and he had to admit that he was impressed. The room was like some kind of giant puzzle, a massive lock to their HQ.
While Jason stood in awe of the mechanisms that had to be in place for such a room to exist, Jenny maneuvered around him and walked up to Alex.
"So does everyone know that we're bringing him in?", Jen quietly asked Alex.

Alex stopped and let Jason take it all while Jenny caught up to him. When she asked about weather or not everyone knew Jason was coming with them, he stopped and scratched his head for a bit before shrugging. "Hell if I know." he said in a rather laid back tone compared to how he usually was. "I guess they know as much as network told them." he said again before heading to the metal door at the other end of the hall. "You're weapons are probably in the lab area. It's not far."

"Greaaat...", Jenny said looked over at Alex with a bit of a funny squint to her eyes, showing that she was kind of dreading what might happen next, but was sure it wouldn't be too severe.
Meanwhile, Jason's attention to the impressive room was torn away when mention of his guns came up. He immediately looked over at Alex and walked over to him.
"Can you lead me there?", Jason asked.

Alex turned the knob of the door and tossed it open. Originally he had wanted to close the rotating room behind them to make sure no one could potentially follow them in. catching wind of that request however, Network would have alerted Jenny to that wish. "It's right this way." Alex said as he walked past the metal door to lead him inside.
The inside of the base looked very comfy looking. There was a wood thin wood paneling over the hard concrete walls, making the place look more relaxing. The walls were also covered in posters, stickers and wall scrolls that the espers and workers had collected over the years. There were pictures of Alex, Jenny and the others from when they were young, playing games and doing various activities together.
To the left was a long hallway leading to the other end of the base and to the right a hallway leading forward. Alex however turned left and went to a set of double doors with the words "Research & Development". Looking back at Jason as he made his way over he gave him a short warning. "Stick close to me and Jen. If their not expecting company they might freak out when they see you."

Jennifer gave an instinctive nod to Network and looked back to the rotating room. With just an iota of her power, she twisted the entire room and reset the lock.
("There. No chance of being followed now."), Jen thought to herself. She then stood by and waited for Alex to escort Jason to the lab, following beside Alex.
Jason was quite confused about this place. He heard that there were splinter groups of Psychics that fought against the government, so he was expecting militarized architecture and guards. Instead, this place looked a bit like an underground house. He could even see that there were pictures of the two psychics that were escorting him, as well as that other kid and a few others he hadn't seen before. By this, he could tell that they had more like a civilian arrangement, and that these kids might have been fighting or groomed for this lifestyle for longer than he originally thought, much like himself.
After a few short moments, Jason looked away from one of the picture frames and to both Alex and Jennifer.
"Alright, lead the way.", Jason said to the two of them.

With everything settled, Alex turned back to the laboratory doors and pushed them open. The inside was filled with computers and various big machines that were used during the esper augmentation. To the far left side of the wall were two more double doors leading into some other room. Jason would have been able to see a few weapon schematics along with research notes, chemicals and other things typically found in a science lab. There was an asian man in a lab coat standing in the canter of the room next to the brunette whom had snatched his guns with electro magnetism.
The middle aged Asian man had Jason's revolver with him and seemed to be putting it back together after having taken it apart. The ammo was nowhere to be seen and it was safe to say the cylinder was empty. Misaka was the first to notice him come in as she quickly ran over to the white haired boy. "Alex you're hurt!" she shouted as she ran over to inspect his arm. However as she got close, she saw Jason walking up behind him and took a step back. "Wait... isn't he...?"
