When Artemis got knocked off her feet Joanna quickly crouched down beside her, looking for wounds. there was no puncture in the armour and there was no blood, but from her reaction to rolling on her side there was probably one or more ribs broken.
"Fine, what do I need to do in order to protect my little sister?"
Joanna looked at her for a few seconds, and then lifted her up, putting her arm around her shoulders. "For now, stay alive and come with me. we can flesh out the details when we're reletively safe."
As she lead Artemis down the hill she tuned in to a radio frequency that the BSAA had given her in the event of her wanting her backup for this mission, an MV22 Osprey Gunship bristling with guns and ordnance along with a four man squad.
"This is Fury to Valkyrie Six-Niner, you hearing me Carmen?"
"I read you Loud and Clear Fury. You in need of help or you just checking on us." replied Carmen, the Ospreys pilot. Joanna grinned, "I need an Exfill pronto. Are you recieving my location from my TacPad?" "we're recieving Joanna, how the hell are you all the way over there?" "The mission got complicated, Where can you do a pickup." "There should be a clearing down from where you are. We'll be there soon. I suggest you Haul-ass." "Roger that. Be carefull, there's an Umbrella sniper out here as well as a tricell APC." "Roger, We'll be careful, over."
As she cut the link she looked at Artemis, she was pale, probably from the pain. "We'll be out of here soon and get you looked at. Then we can talk."
Just then the trunk of the tree next to her exploded from a High calibre bullet, showering both of them with splinters.
"MOVE!", she yelled as she pulled Artemis quickly down the hill, stray bullets shredding the air around them.

(This would go better before Insanity's post.sorry again for the lag in response.)
Hammer rushed backwards so quickly from the seemingly surprise attack that he hit the front of the APC and momentarily knocked himself unconscious.When the driver awoke him Reaper was gone along with her friend,three of his four remaining were dead and there was also a recently slain B.O.W dead near him.Furious could not accurately describe his current emotion.He got up accepting the help of the driver and stormed into vehicle snatching up the radio and changing the frequency.
"Get the roamers on us now!I want them armed to the teeth and gunners armored as heavily as possible!"Hammer shouted into the radio just before throwing it against the adjacent wall.
The driver quickly moved to his seat and sealed the door clearing his throat to get Hammers attention.Charles quickly obtained his calm and wiped himself off before giving his attention to the driver.
"I want you to tear through that brush and get after them.I will have that research in my hand before this day ends.If that BSAA agent is still alive she has probably called for an air evac...make sure whatever bird they called gets hit by a rock."
"Yes sir!"Was all the driver responded as he fixed his headset to organize the movement of the other four APC's that were closing in very quickly from the outskirts of D.C.
Hammer took off his coat and strapped himself into a vest that covered his chest and upper arms,then pulled on a gunner helmet.He grabbed the dead gunner from the 50 cal and pulled himself into the spot.
"Sir,our ground armor doesn't have any anti-air missiles but we have a Cobra attack chopper ready in Baltimore,Maryland that can be here in ten minutes."
Charles heard this through the radio helmet and responded dryly: "Five minutes,or I will feed them to Sinistra."
The driver confirmed and sped into the brush easily snapping through the decoratively planted trees.They were going as fast as possible in the general direction he thought the operatives went.Hammer and he both heard a shot being fired from one direction so they moved and soon were within firing range of the two.Dr.Hammer wasted no time in firing the cannon.

With Joanna's help she was able to move through the woods a lot easier. That was until the sniper continued to shoot at them. She cursed slightly as Joanna lead them toward an open field for an evac. With the sniper out there it would be rather hard for them to do that. Joanna pulled them to a stop just before the clearing and she knelt down behind a tree. Removing her rifle she set up the scope just in time to hear the engines of the vehicles cutting through the woods. It was more than obvious that Dr. Hammer wasn’t planning on giving up on them. She rolled her eyes as she pulled the stand out.
“We have to find that sniper or were not going to get two feet out in the clearing,” she pointed out as she set the rifle down. She had remembered taking out many high ranking BSAA individuals with this weapon, and in a way it felt wrong turning it on her own team. Yet with the fact that Kyle had left her for dead she wasn’t going to go down without a fight. Her father knew that before she left, and she was too blind to see it for herself. She was too blind to see that even though she dedicated her life to Umbrella it was nothing more than a tool. She wasn’t like the others, and they knew that. If they would have treated her like she wanted she would have remained loyal to the end.
Sighing a bit she shook her head at the thought. It was too late now. Even though she had done nothing to turn Umbrella against her in the first place Kyle had seen to it that she was no longer useful to the organization. She looked down at her rifle as it aimed in the general direction of the sniper. She knew it would hurt to lay down on her chest, but for them to even stand a chance in the clearing he had to go. She shook her head and laid down behind her weapon. “Help me locate that sniper before Hammer catches up to us and you may want to inform your team that there may be hostiles in the air.”

She nodded at Artemis, quickly pulling her binoculars out, they had non reflective lens and a range finder. "I thought you might like to take the sniper out, after all your file says your an expert sniper."
she quickly connected to her backup. "Fury to Valkyrie six-niner, you still hearing me carmen." "copy that Joanna, we are a couple of mikes out from your position." "roger, watch out for any hostile types, there might be some enemy air for you to kill." "roger that Joanna, we'll get you safely home." "See you soon, fury out."
She set up quickly next to Artemis, Looking around for any sign of the enemy sniper. After 12 seconds she saw a momentary reflective glare, and increased the magnification. She saw the sniper and his spotter. "got them, half way up the hill, 11:30 oclock, range 630 meters, look for the 3 large rocks. slight wind coming from the right."

Artimes nodded as she rolled onto her stomach gritting her teeth as she pulled her rifle close to her. The pressure on her chest hurting the longer she laid on it, but she had a task to complete before she could stop the pain. She dialed in the scope to the direction that Joanna had pointed out. She allowed her mind to focus on the task at hand instead of the ever grown sound of the vehicles. Looking through the scope she could see the sniper and his partner. Grinning slightly as she pulled the bolt back on her rifle she adjusted it slightly as she watched the sniper. Holding her breath she felt the stinging pain in her chest, but she ignored it as she steadied her aim. Pulling the trigger the shot echoed through the valley. Through the scope she watched as the sniper jerked back and fell down the hill, and his partner take off. She grinned as she adjusted herself taking into account that he was running. Taking another deep breath she adjusted the rifle once more, and with a pull of the trigger she watched as the second man collapsed.
She rolled onto her back gasping slightly as she grabbed her chest. “We need to move before Hammer catches up with us,” she said as she used her rifle to help her up. She looked around before moving over to Joanna. “Do you have an estimate on how long your friends are going to be out?”

Joanna pulled Artemis's arm around her shoulders. "Unless they get into trouble, they should be here soon." Suddenly her radio came to life, "Fury, Its carmen. we just encountered that enemy air, a Cobra gunship. Sorry girl, your date outa here is gonna be delayed." "Understood Carmen, Fury out." disconnecting the radio she looked at Artemis. "Looks like you were right about hostile air." Suddenly high calibre bullets started shredding the air around them, "s***!" Pulling Artemis down behind a pile of Rocks she looked back. It looked like Hammer was an obsesive little prick. The APC was coming down the hill at a dangerous speed, the hill was a 40 degree incline. That gave Joanna an idea. Quickly she loaded a zinc tipped mercury AT grenade into her grenade launcher and stood up for more accuracy. Bullets tore around her as she aimed carefully, and fired. Time seemed to slow down as she crouched down, watching the grenade speed toward the APC's left hand tracks. the tracks exploded, part of it digging into the ground. with the sudden loss of movement on one side the APC turned very suddenly and very quickly. Too quickly for a 40 degree incline. The APC tipped and started rolling/bouncing down the hill, destroying everything in its path. A path Joanna realised they were on. "MOVE!!", Pulling Artimis along she sprinted to the right. Just in time getting out of the way. Finally the APC stopped a quarter of the way onto the field on its side. After looking at the destruction she just wrought, Joanna looked at Artemis with an eyebrow raised. "Thats what you get for not driving safely." Just then, the sound of twin turboprops filled the clearing and their backup arrived. the Osprey looked like giant bird of prey, a notion heightened by the guns and ordnance it carried. Pivoting it landed with its decending ramp towards them. the radio sounded. "Carmen to Fury, your prom date has arrived." Joanna grinned while she lead Artemis towards the osprey. "About time carmen, we had to send away 2 other suiters before you arrived." She lead Artemis up the Ramp, greeting the BSAA team that was her ground backup. she helped Artemis into one of the seats close to the cockpit and poked her head in, "Take us home Carmen." "Yes maam, next stop, BSAA HQ." As the Osprey lifted Off, Joanna eased herself into the seat next to Artemis. "Not how I was expecting this mission to pan out. you?"

Hammer moved into the body of the APC just in time to be slammed against the walls several times before it came to a sudden tumbling stop.If he hadn't had armor on,he would have been dead or in far worse condition than he was in.He lay there for a moment and stared at...what he assumed was the left side of the APC.Hammer looked over to the driver,who wasn't moving,and got up slowly and achingly.As he approached he heard the rotors of a helicopter and looked through the now cracked windshield of his vehicle.It wasn't his,it was a BSAA evacuation chopper.With bullet holes in it,but still very much intact.
"This is far from over Reaper."
Dr.Hammer dropped to one knee and took the helmet and vest off of himself and glared at the back door until he heard the approaching vehicles.He slowly stood and moving towards the hatch,pressed the emergency release button which completely dropped the door from the body of the APC.As he stepped out one of the gunmen ran and supported his standing.
"The Umbrella operative has escaped with the BSAA Agent,they have the research information that I wanted.I will find a way to get it and deal with them later...right now you all need to scour the area for a body.There was exchanging sniper fire,it stopped just before we approached meaning Reaper took out the enemy.Find the body and bring it back to me here,if he is still alive keep him that way....he may pose use to me...to Tricell."
Hammer,with the aid of the gunman,moved over to the most heavily armored APC and entered letting a medic look him over.Now,he waited and began plotting his revenge.At first,Reaper would have been a fine ally...now she seemed like a far better B.O.W applicant.Time and money would be nothing more than wasted on the BSAA agent,Hammers personal B.O.W Sinistra would most certainly have fun with her though.The possibilities raced through Hammers mind as a group of the men sounded their finding.

Artiment sat down on the bench and leaned back slightly in order to rest her throbbing chest. She closed her eyes for a moment, but knew all too well that when the BSAA found out who she was that her relaxation time would be over. Opening her eyes she looked at Joanna as she sat down beside her. She seemed fairly relaxed about the situation. She wondered if she even remembered that she was one of Umbrella’s top operatives who had taken a numerous number of lives dealing with the BSAA and other government organizations. Sitting up only to lean forward and rest her arms on her legs. It wouldn’t matter if she had taken the same amount of lives of Umbrella operatives either. She was the cleanup person when one team failed or faltered she could deal with the damage and make it disappear along with the team.
She sighed a bit as she leaned close to Joanna and whispered. “Taking me back to your HQ will not be a good idea once they find out who I am,” she pointed out. She looked up to the men sitting in the back tending to their own business. “What makes you think that the information you obtained will help me in any way with all that I have done?”

Joanna looked at Artemis with one eyebrow raised, "What are you talking about? they all know who you are." Tapping her tacpad she showed Artemis a picture of herself with her armour on, the face clearly showing. "Everyone on this mission including the backup and squads on standby back at HQ knows who you are. The only reason none of those guys didnt shoot you in the head on sight is because your with me." she looked at the squad leader who was listening in, "Isnt that right Jim." "True that Joanna, straight between the eyes." he said with a grin, the others chuckled. She looked back at Artemis. "Ive brought in more Umbrella personel than youve killed BSAA agents, and killed tonnes more than that. I hate Umbrella with every fibre of my being. they know that. And since I am bringing you in without any form of restraints and even being friendly with you, that shows them that you can be trusted when around me. However if you do betray us, they know I wont rest untill you are 6 feet under with 2 bullets in your brain. Not saying they'll recieve you with open arms and a place in the S.T.A.R.S. but as long as your with me, youll be grudgingly accepted until you earn their trust. The information is simply the Icing on the cake."

The men brought the body over to Hammer and he looked it over.He grunted then motioned for the body to be put into his carrier. "Gentlemen,this operation was a failure.It will be mended,I want the most secretive eyes on the two operatives who got away...and I want what remains of that facility searched for any possible information left.The rest of you go back to New York base with me and remain on alert for my next move." With that Dr.Hammer got into his APC as it sealed and began moving in convoy on a path to the underground Tricell base in New York City. Dr.Charles Hammer has now left the area.

Artiment looked at Joanna a bit shocked at what she was telling her. She looked around at the individuals in the chopper and almost laughed as she leaned on her knees. It made since now why she wasn't laying on the ground bleeding out or in full restraints the moment she climbed into the chopper. She looked at Joanna and let out a heavy sigh. "It seems that I have underestemated your pull within this organization. For that I am greatful," she said lightly as she looked back to the chopper floor. "Thought I wont hold anything against anyone come reaching your base." She had the urge to play with her gun as she had many times before while being transported places. Checking over her weapons and making sure they were in working order, but she knew better here. Even if it did pass the time before there was no way it would even be welcomed if she reached for her side arm or her rifle. Instead she just sat their and played with her fingers trying not to make any eye contact with anyone in the chopper except for Joanna from time to time.

Joanna chuckled at Artemis's remark, "Most people who arent in the BSAA north american branch don't understand the pull I have. since Im just a contracted mercenary people who dont know better usually dont think much of me, and dont realise I do very important missions as well as train some of the recruits." She settled into her seat, sighing as she did. "We'll be back at base in a few hours. I suggest you get some shut eye till then, its gonna be a long day when we get back."
She closed her eyes and slowly drifted to sleep. she had learned the very usefull trick of being able to go to sleep where ever and when ever she wanted.
(joanna and artemis have left the area)
(ooc: sorry I havent posted in so long, Ive had a tonne of stuff to do and have been buggered all week.)
