I'm working on cleaning up/clearing out more of the hospital. I was wondering if anyone either wanted to lend a hand, or if there was any um...I dunno, 'features' you'd like to see here? Stuff to make it more comfortable? Needs that aren't being addressed?

Private Message for Tony
How are you with locks?
[He turns the camera to point at a complicated looking lock located somewhere in the hospital, and then back at himself with a pointed frown.]

Private Message for Tommy
You literally have super speed, why are your clothes all over the floor?

Private Message for Soldier
Super important question- Coffee? Tea? Or Hot Chocolate? Which is the correct choice?
[Billy tries to maintain a very serious expression. He is not succeeding.]

"Broken?" Tony echoed. "Like, on purpose?" More like the data points than he had thought, maybe. Not that it was easy to quantify just how deliberate any damage around here had been, with the destruction that the storms were capable of. He leaned up close to the glass, one hand gingerly on it as he stared at the canisters like he might be able to figure out their secrets from here. Or if he suddenly spread his palm against the window and tested it against a burst from his repulsor.

"Some of them maybe. Most just look kind of old. Or maybe used?" Honestly, Billy couldn't be sure. But he couldn't think of a good reason to break medical equipment of any sort. Unless it really was dangerous...

But he didn't have long to ponder that before he was throwing up a shield to block the repulsor burst from hitting him as it ricocheted off like a bullet, eyes wide.

"...little warning next time?"

Tony's only defence for the new singe mark left on the window and the ceiling was, "I thought that would work." Annoying. His eyes narrowed and he started searching around the seams of the window, before considering the door between them and the mystery canisters that might have been deliberately kept from them, or useful, or valuable in some way that maybe they could bargain with.

"Yeah, it's really strong. I don't think brute force OR magic's going to do it," Billy commiserated, "It needs brains, so-" Tony was obviously the guy to call.

"It might take us a while, do you think we should keep it secret still...until we can work out how to get in?"

'Take us a while' was even more annoying, but at the moment Tony was rich in wires and plating and poor in anything that would explode, so the reliable shortcut was off the table. He had to accept that this might be a prolonged project and insist, "Definitely." At least, Billy needed to keep it a secret; Tony could not be reliably expected to follow rules, even his own.
