Finishing up what he was doing with Siren, Mass noticed a portal had appeared underneath him, and he seemed to be falling through it. After this little transport, he noticced he wasw in front of the building. Geata was doing this again, of course. Mass would then simply run through the bulding, covering himself with densified matter so that he would bust through the doors rather than opening them, making it slightly faster. When he busted through the door back into the room he was originally in, he would look to the invisible super and say, "Surprised to see me again so soon?" Then he got ready for his last trick, the only one he hadn't shown anyone before.

“Now that’s just rude of you, Skeletor,” Anonymous turned toward Geata, who just appeared right in his vicinity, “I haven’t done anything and you’re telling me to fuck off?”
While keeping an eye on Geata, Anonymous can tell that Goo-lady managed to cover the man’s face in order to keep him from breathing in more of the gas. Guess that’s one way of suffocating the guy, but of course he wouldn’t die from that. Even if they block any further gas being breathed in by the informant, the amount of gas he had taken before is enough to do their work. His adrenal gland would began to produce adrenaline non-stop, and the more stress he feel, the faster the effect happen. The man would started to hyperventilate, but since Arcanum blocked his mean of breathing, he'll soon began to feel light-headed from the lack of oxygen in his blood.
It was an interesting data to obtain, so Anonymous keep a mental note of that. By now, the gas should be all over the building, and anyone who's unfortunate enough to be unpowered and breathing in this stuff will soon hallucinate and start screaming from fright. As for the supers, they won't notice the effect of the gas on them, but he had time to obtain any changes that might happen. Focus his attention back at Geata, he gave him a shrug:
“Listen, I’m here for a personal business of mine, so you don’t have to worry about everything too much. You can have your fun with your informant, and I’ll be over here minding my own business. We’ll stay out of each other hair, deal?”

Phenomenon had underestimated the usefulness of invisibility against himself. Though he knew he had had some effect on the super, the damage was far from its intended degree. She was more of a threat, maybe, than she originally seemed. If he wasn’t in a fight, he would’ve laughed at the comical scene laid out with his ally. Critical Mass had been put outside by the skele-super’s portal and had just broken through the door, rendering Phenomenon’s previous work with it useless. Instead of saying anything, he just gestured at the mess of wood chips in a hopeless manner. Mass was a pain to more than just his enemies. If he was to be trusted, the invisible super hadn’t relocated at all. And it seemed that he had taken no offense to his sudden relocation, as, instead of trying to find the human portal gun, Mass had directed his eyes to his former target. The air around that area had become hazier, almost normally visible, and slightly grayer. Curious, it seemed Mass had used it as his weapon. Remarked. It was also worthy of note that the substance on the informant’s face had made an eyeball, and it was also somewhat disgusting. The lady controlling the goo seemed as though she didn’t care about any person in the building aside from the informant, which was good. The less people he had to make an enemy of, the better, especially as he recognized her as a Keeper. So, now he was left to assess his targets and attack accordingly.

Geata smiled as his portals worked their magic flawlessly once again. He was getting pretty irritated that his milk run of a job was having such annoying complications, so it was nice to relieve some tension by trolling the biggest annoyance. Anonymous was more of a potential problem than a mere annoyance, but one that could be handled later if it was needed at all. The third guy, Phenomenon, if Geata's information was correct, just seemed to be in the way. Which left the contradictory mouth, Critical Mass.
Geata was determined to get what he worked for. He had put effort into getting the contacts that told him about the meeting, put effort into mapping out the house's exact dimensions in case of a fight, and was putting effort into keeping his new informant alive. Granted, the last one was considerably the easiest, but that was beside the point. He hadn't put in the effort he did just so some coward who could talk a big game could try to mess with his work. That was why the supers that were standing in his way were going to find the ground they were very easily moved very far away by him.

Anonymous simply watched the struggle happen between Geata and this new guy going at each other. Not really much of a creative guy that Geata, but at least it was entertaining to watch.
“Well, seeing that you got your hand full, I’ll stay out of your hair as promise.” Anonymous said to him with a small grin on his face. At the very least Geata seems to keep to his promise on not attacking him, so he shouldn’t be too worried about him.
As for Goo-lady and their female companion, they might not be so understanding or in the mood for negotiation. The last time he thought he can try to talk a Keeper out of doing anything harmful to him, it didn’t really end well for him. He won’t make that same mistake again; this Keeper is effectively standing in his way to get good data from his little experiment, and no one can interrupt his masterpiece at work, not when it isn’t finish just yet.

Both halves of Arcanum frowned as Phenomenon began his little staring contest. She didn't mind all the attention, but his power was getting in her way. Gradually, her control over the parts handling the poor informant guy weakened. The slime fell off and now he was breathing in shit-tier air again. For the moment, she didn't feel like worrying too much about the guy. He'd survive the next few minutes. Her own situation was significantly more important.
If homeboy and his mind waves didn't cut it out, the guy would start disturbing her actual work going on. Sure, Arcanum left the Hermit in charge of the operation, but she still kind of needed her power to keep that girl working. No amount of curiosity was worth repeating an already mostly completed mission. This fake battle needed to end now.
Arcanum made a show of removing her top as she approached the other Keeper. She idly twirled the pseudo-fabric in her hand, taking the time and effort to make sure the slime still vaguely resembled actual clothing. Looking right as his dumb mask, she asked: "Hasn't anyone ever tell you it's impolite to stare?"

The decision making process Phenomenon had to go through was not easy. Everything was almost stagnant, with Mass running in the house repeatedly like a clown, only to be teleported back out. Apparently, only to run back in and again be removed by Geata’s portaling. Even so, it was like Mass couldn’t do a lot. It was hilarious, watching him run in and attempt something only to have it not work. Though, it was in Phenomenon’s best interest to have him succeed eventually. Where the invisible person had thrown the vase there was now a lot of that hazy, grayish air. Presumably, she was trapped by it and his ally had managed to do something, being useful. The one who he had tried to block had succeeded in doing nothing but being bisected. Good. That meant the block worked to some extent as well. But now, she was coming after him, and he suddenly lost the confidence, that it would work again. For a good moment, he was walking backwards in a concerned manner, heading to the window once more. His mask just stared onward, but his gait and manner of walking showed he had some level of concern about this happening. More that he was probably not going to like this than fear.

Well, it not that he didn’t expect this to happen, since this is only the third times that Goo-lady decided to mess with him. He will admit that dropping him through the floor and onto the bottom does give a slight annoyance and a slight cramp in his legs when he stick the landing. Looking up from where he fell from, the hole just closed itself, locking him out of the room where Geata and that Keeper was fighting (allegedly). It’s not like he wanted to remain in that room anyway, so at least Goo-lady solve his little trouble by dropping him out of the way.
“Thanks for the head-up, I guess,” Anonymous’ voice would echoed in Arcanum’s mind through his telepathy.
He then turned his focus back to Geata in order to speak with him through his mind:
“Hey Skeletor, I gotta go deal with my personal business. If you decided to stay in the neighborhood, how about you look me up; I have something I would like to talk to you after this. If you’re interested, just come to the roof top where we first met, and I’ll let you know where to meet from there.”
He didn’t wait for his answer; there’re still some works he need to get done, and it’s about time he kick this horror ride up a notch.

The stagnation of everything was gone. Apparently, the attempt at dispersing the gas instead resulted in the appearance of a new combatant. That was quite interesting. Though, he was frustrated that his attempts at getting Mass to work efficiently had gone to nothing. Maybe Phenomenon should turn his mannerisms to one more apt to prevent this from happening, more damaging towards his foes. The idea of not hurting anyone too bad was great in theory, but in practice it was different. It would’ve been easier to just go after them. Instead, as he had dedicated himself this far, he had to at least try to stick with the idea. Though now he had a bit more information, it was also raining on him because of these holes. It was bothersome, but Phenomenon just looked up and shook his head, as though it just wasn’t his day. Then, he turned his eyes to the new arrival. He seemed alright, and his mind seemed different than most from a cursory sense of it. Unlike most, it seemed apt in receiving a thought, so Phenomenon asked what the gas was out of simple curiosity. A mental message before he decided that he would have to put his foot down one direction or the other on stopping these people from bothering Mass in whatever he had planned for this informant. They were certainly doing a good job of keeping the informant alive, so which of the three did he need to deal with? Arcanum obviously didn’t like him but didn’t seem to have as much of an intention against him, skelemask was throwing Mass out of the building, and the invisible one was taking up too much of Mass’ thought. At least the faceless being seemed like it would want to help, as it was dropped through the ceiling by the messy woman’s antics.

Well this was new.
Somehow they had managed to remove her connection to any of the clones. Not being able to move part of her own body was a sensation that Arcanum never expected to go through again. She briefly wondered if the rest of her remained frozen still without her input, or would it all dissolve into nothing. Her natural curiosity outweighed any lingering desire to continue this pointless battle. It needed to end soon, or she would actually start to get annoyed by her current disabilities.

Thing has begun to become quite troublesome, especially when the other supers seems to interrupting his experiment. It seems that Anonymous need to work on the chemical compound a little more before he can truly use it. However, the data he got from this little field-test is quite interesting. After all, Goo-lady feared of this, that's why she decided to vent out the mansion in order to protect their little informant.
Human being are quite fragile; just a little of this and they've already on the edge of insanity. Hell, if the informant managed to make it out of this nightmare, he might ever be the same again. Sometime, when the mind face something so terrifying, it decided to regress it away into the back corner of the mind, trying to erase what it has seen from the horror before it. They might be able to save him from being killed, but no one will save him from the mental stress he's suffering afterward.
