"It's A Magical Place. "

Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. The low-income borough of Lambeth has been largely taken over by London's mutant population and is now known as Mutant Town.

Her punch narrowly misses Chase's head who twists out of the way just in time to make her strike the ground instead. Before she can follow up she's hit by seemingly nothing and knocked off of Chase, rolling to the side and coming up a bit unsteadily in a defensive pose, eyes scanning the room as she tries to determine what just happened. It doesn't take her very long to figure out it must be the invisible guy, but that doesn't make it any easier to actually pinpoint Basil.

Chase seized the opportunity and went of the offensive, lunging at Weikun with a flurry of kicks and punches.

Weikun focuses on defending herself, though she's having increasing amounts of trouble keeping up with Chase, slowly being driven back. When she reaches a wall she ducks underneath one of Chase's punches and slips away to the side, pulling the firealarm she's been maneuvering herself to. Sprinklers turn on almost immediately as her eyes scan the room for Basil, hoping to catch his outline in the water raining down.

"Clever girl." Basil commented, but he didn't bother to hide himself again as now that he'd painted a target on himself he suspected he wasn't going to get off easy.

Weikun's plan worked, and she could see the vague shape of Basil amid the rain, including the fact he wasn't wearing his school issued special Mormon underpants.At 6'1 and 155 pounds his form wasn't particularly intimdating.

But she would quickly notice his size worked to his advantage when instead of flight, Basil squared off and began to move towards Weikun with extremely quick footwork, his arms readied to block her blows.

Damnit Basil. Run!

Chase kicked one of the small wicker footstools sitting around at Weikun and tried to bum rush her away from Basil with a flying follow-up kick.

She bats the footstool out of the air and barely manages to avoid Chase's kick, though it forces her away from Basil. She drops into a roll and pulls what appear to be needles from a bandolier around her thigh as she comes back up, throwing a spread of them at the two with surprising force. They're generally more on target towards Chase, Basil being hard to pinpoint exactly even with the water raining down.

However, Basil seemed to go down anyways. Did he trip? Did the needle accidentally hit him? Nothing seemed to be sticking out of his body but with the obscured vision issues thanks to the rain, a small object like a needle wouldn't be obvious in the invisible man''s leg.

His prone form was obvious though, his legs sprawled out in front of him. However, his arm's didn't have an outline, perhaps laying on his chest.

Chase pirouetted around the needles (or most of them) in a move that would look impressive in slow motion and, with a cry of righteous anger, kicked again at her chest.

Weikun stumbles backwards, the kick having knocked the wind out of her. She's still mindful enough not to stumble over Basil's prone shape, but otherwise seems to ignore him as she tries to catch her breath. She still somehow manages to muster a grin as she looks at Chase and the sole needle sticking out of his upper arm. It's not really painful, in fact it's not painful at all. Kind of numb actually. And it's slowly spreading through his arm and shoulder.

As Weikun is smarmy about her perceived victory over Chase, Basil ever so slowly and gently moves his hands into position, then lunges to grab her by the ankle with his right arm, hoping to smash the seemingly winded woman face first into the floor. His left was readied to start punching her in the head again if she went down.

He seemed determined not to let her out of here.

Chase yanked out the needle and dropped it, adjusting his stance to compensate as Basil attacked. He waited for an opening on account of not wanting to hurt his friend.

Weikun let's out a short scream and definitely didn't seem to have expected her leg being yanked out from underneath her. She's quick to bring her arms up to cushion her fall a little bit, but she still leaves herself wide open as her head whiplashes against the floor.

And thus the Black Lotus assassin is knocked out and collapses on top of Basil.

Meanwhile the club is pretty empty, those who hadn't left or been escorted to safety when the fight broke out seem to have fled when the sprinklers came on. There's still a couple of people around, but most of them are outside. In the distance, sirens can be heard.

"Not that clever." Basil comments to the unconscious woman laying on top of him.

"Chase, I need your tie." Basil states, not wanting to risk rousing the woman by getting up.

Basil hears the sirens but seeing as he couldn't think of anything the two of them did particularly wrong, he felt no reason to bail, though the thought he should probably put his trousers back on did occur to him.

"No." Basil admitted. "I was trying not to piss or vomit on myself."

He was gentle moving the woman, but less so in actually restraining her. Basil saved the unconscious woman's dignity by pinning her down underknee instead of sitting on her.

Basil was very good with knots, for some reason. This potentially brainwashed ninja assassin wasn't going to be doing anything with her hands for the moment.

"Watch her." Basil said, almost sounding like a demand. He went to go put his soaked trousers back on, and would return with his own tie to restrain her feet much as he had her hands

Chase took out his phone to call the emergency X-Men number and request help getting the incident handled and the assassin into their own custody. The British government would quite possibly take her though, brainwashed or otherwise.

Unfortunately for Weikun, once Basil was partially clothed he had nothing else to do while Chase was calling in the cavalry *except* stare at her to make sure she doesn't come to, and he does catch her squirming a bit.

"Keep it up, dragon-lady. After ruining my night I will take any excuse I can get to punch you in the head repeatedly." Replied a pair of disembodied trousers.

As he returned, a roll of duct tape was in his left hand.

"Yea mate... sure." For some reason, Basil didn't seem overly talkative with his friend.

Instead, he decided to address Weikun.

"Don't do anything stupid now poppet." He'd tear off a piece of the tape with his teeth, and cautiously moved in to slap it quickly over her mouth.

It didn't work as well as she'd hoped, and she ended up with tape over her mouth anyways.

Then Basil collapsed into a sit. Near enough to her that if she tried to escape he could do something about it, but not so close she could easily hurt him.

but he did answer, after she was no longer capable of popping off at the mouth.

"Yes, I gathered something like that. But right now, he's the trained killer who's on my side and didn't just try to kill someone in a public space." His trousers shifted slightly. "So I think I know where my better option lies currently."

Without a way to respond she just rolls her eyes at Basil and let's out an amused chuckle as she tries to figure out the knot around her hands and get an idea for where to start to try and pry it open with her body hopefully blocking Basil's view and keeping him from noticing.

Basil was still staring at her and hadn't noticed yet, but with her legs bound at the ankle, even if she was capable of getting loose, her bound ankles were going to make it difficult to get too far before he would be right there in her business trying to stop her again.

For his own part, Basil was determined to make sure she stayed here now, no matter what. Mostly because if she got away now he was convinced he'd never hear the end of it from the super hero squad back home.

Looking at the roll of duct tape in his hand, Basil came up with a not very nice at all idea.

"Come on poppet." He said as he moved near Weikun and started building a sheet of duct tape, one attached to the other width wise, as long in width as his arms would take it.

Pressing her into the floor with his foot to her chest, he attempted to just straight up tape her problematic self to the floor with the sheet of duct tape he'd built.

Chase tried his best not to dwell on the distinct possibility that his only friend would no longer want anything to do with him as he followed Dao's path out of the club. Hopefully the assassin was having a reckless day and left clues behind.
