Subterranean tunnels are not exactly a new one on any superhero (or villain) from Wanda and Remy's world. Dark, dank, creepy, and prone to unsettling sounds--at this point, Wanda is no longer as fazed as she probably ought to be, but that doesn't mean she's letting her guard down. She navigates the tunnels with care, keeping some attention on where Remy is. While she doubts they'll get separated for any reason, the flashlight she carries only illuminates so much of the tunnel up ahead, and the steady drip of liquid makes it hard to focus on any other sounds that might indicate another presence in the area.

However, something does sneak through. Wanda stops, looking up at Remy.

"Did you hear that?"

It sounds like electricity--almost akin to television static. It's very quiet, but it's also constant.

Remy's already done his very verbal and colorful grumbling about evil Candlelighter hideouts in creepy tunnels - how cliche. He's easily professional, even with the occasional peanut gallery remark; just how he rolls.

When Wanda asks, he tilts his head, concentrating. "Somethin'," he agrees after a moment, and exchanges a look. "Generator, maybe?" The whole place is wired - real electric parts, even if it's busted - so someone's been experimenting with ways to stay pretty hard off the grid.

She inclines her head, slowly, after another brief interval in which she assesses their surroundings. Wanda treads toward the source of the sound, coming to the doorway at the tunnel's edge. From there, she can spot a flickering dim light: a clear sign that they're on the right track.

"It sounds broken, whatever it is."

"S'funny, electricity makin' you off the grid," he remarks, keeping pace just behind her shoulder. "Easier ways to experiment though, no?"

Leaves one wondering what, exactly, the purpose of this particular brand of earth-tech being around is; purism, or something more creative? One more item on the list of unanswered questions about the Candlelighters. He looks at the wear marks on the floor and the walls, calculating the potential foot traffic.
