(Isamu)
No one disturbs Isamu as he walks down the beach. A couple of people take a glance at the expression on his face and give him a wide berth, apparantly realizing he wasn't in a good space.
(Sierra)
Kristian continues to hug Sierra, mumering comforting things into her ear. "It's not a weakness to cry when someone has died."
(OOC: You only stopped sensing one meta - Troll. Everyone else is fine, and you can still sense them)
(Will)
Ashley doesn't put up a fight as she heads into the cell. "This is a mistake," she says quietly "I did what needed to be done. Tyler would agree with me." Sitting down on the cot, she adds "I want to talk to Tyler."

William closes the door to the Cell. "That's nice." Is all he says as he ushers the team out.
Looking to Avery and Lerry, he says, "Dispose of the body." In a dissapointed voice.
"Tyler, Jason, you're getting your wish. Come with me." In the war room, William shows the array of weapons, the remaining gas and trackers. "You two will proceed forward on Wraith to find Felicia. When you find Wraith, you do have a kill order. Use one of the grenades. Toss the grenade, shoot once to make him intangible, so that he'll abosrb the gas, then shoot a second time to kill." He looks at each of them to ensure they understand. "We don't need him alive, and I think you understand what risk you'll be in if you fail. Use your fire-arms to kill him, as your own powers may also be incapacitated."
He pauses. "Otherwise, you've got a mostly-free reign. Any high-risk Brethren you can remove within a gas grenade, do so. Your ammunition is limited, so don't go gun-crazy. You'll probably need a grenade to affect an escape once you have identified and released Felicia. I have no need for prisoners for interrogation."
He pauses again. "Questions?"

Isamu stays away from everyone he comes across and continues his walk. When he findsa nice quiet area where no one is, he raises a small section of ground up about a foot as a place to sit.
He sits there and begins meditating. He spends hours just thinking about the past few days, all the people he has met, the events that have occurred and especially Ashley, the feeling he had when she was missing, then the gladness of finding her, the anger at Troll for killing her, the elation that she wasn't killed and Tyler saved her, and now at last the disappointment of her killing an unarmed man.
He thinks over all these things, and strives to find balance in the events that have unfolded. The thoughts and issues most prevalent in his mind are, 'After everything that happened, can I forgive Ashley for killing an unarmed man? Was she justified? Troll probably would have killed again if he ever got out, so was Ashley just in taking matters into her own hands?

* Sierra stops and blinks a couple of times .. ' ... Kristien? ... i ... thats streange ... ' *the frown of confusion crosses her face and she looks towards the house. ' ... one came back .. two faded but only one came back .. am i loosing my mind? ... i have to understand just what is happening. this is .. is spookin me big time. someone went that way .. but one never came back from inside ... '
*as a part of her mind digests that part of her issue, she becomes aware that her skin isn't reacting as badly to the close contact with Kristien. ' ... strange .... my skin isn't freaking outby your touch. think the itches will stop in time too? .. no its still there, but its not as strong as before. more like ... its strange, i can recall how needles felt before the ... incident ... but now? .. i can't recall ever being poked by anything. strange, but i think i'll be fine now. i think i paniced. thats all ... still, i think i'll just sit out here a bit longer, just in case'
*a deep sigh as Sierra learns more about herself and emerges a bit more from her shell of isolated childhood and mingles with the rest of the world - man is it ever scary at times. tougher still to think of it as the town of Mulberry from the Andy Griffiths Show from years ago.

[Isamu]
No one came to disturb Isamu as he reflected, knowing well enough not to interrupt him. In the distance he could catch a glimpse of Trevor doing a flyover, but he kept well away.
[Sierra]
Kristian shrugged," Maybe your just getting used to me being around and I don't set things off as bad anymore. Let's go find out what happened."
[Will]
Avi and Kerry nodded and followed Will's direction. Tyler passed Jason one of the trackers and then scooped everything else back into the duffle bag. " It's about time." was his only comment. Jason seemed relaxed at the kill order, and even smirked," not a problem boss. We'll bring Fel home in no time."
Tyler gave his brother a measuring look, but turned back to Will. " so what's gonna happen to ashley? You know as well as I do she did what had to happen, he would have walked if we turned him over to be go to court."
[Alice]
Dimitri had a disgusted look as he met alice in the kitchen. " She killed him, can you beleive that? Between Ashley and Jason, what kind of monsters have you gotten Janie and me mixed up with? I thought the whole idea was to help people, not serve as judge,jury and executioner."

*Sierra smiles up at Kristien, the haunted look that was in the eyes, seems to fade as she actively hides it away, and shows the 'showmans' face to the world.
"used to hiding in plain sight. that was me, always covered up but always in plain sight. mom gave me my school records, in case anyone ever thought i'ld need to go to school cause i'm only 17. but hey, no one's demanded that yet, so maybe no one will. so yeah, maybe you are getting to the 'trusted' state. mom and a couple others never seemed to bother me, so maybe i am getting used to you"
*she finally stands upright and simple states "guess we get the next couple bags? .. so .. load me up .. " *grinning as if nothing was troubling her earlier, as a look of mischief fills the eyes* .... "unless of course, i get to carry you in with the groceries .... ? "

William looks over to Tyler. "She's not your concern." He says. "Felicia is. If you want to say good-bye to her, I suggest you do it, soon." Leaning back, William looked at the pair of them. Tyler was right, but Ashley had no patience. Sitting in a cell, with her boyfriend walking out on her, and no-one giving the time of day will help in that lesson. Isamu will have to be reminded of this, as well. Or, at the very least, distracted to let Ashley stew. "And mission-related questions?"

Isamu comes to a decision. He gets up from his perch, waves his hand so that the seat he called dissipates back into the ground. He then gets up and walks back to the beach house. When he gets into the house he asks the first person he sees where Ashley is. Once they tell him he ignores all others and walks to where she is.

(Isamu)
Avi points Isamu in the right direction and Isamu heads downstairs to where the cells are. When Ashley sees Isamu, a small hopeful smile appears and she says "Hi there." Sitting up, she asks "How are you doing?"
(Will)
Jason shakes his head and says, "Nope, no questions." Tyler simply shakes his head at Will and says to Jason "I’m going to go talk to Ashley and get ready to go. You should get ready. We leave shortly." Jason nods at Tyler and heads up to his room and Tyler follows.
(Sierra)
Kristian smirks. "I think I can make it on my own, thanks anyway." Kristian grabs one of the grocery bags and hands it to Sierra and grabs another one and starts towards the house, walking beside Sierra. When they reach the kitchen, they see Alice putting away groceries when Dmitri storms in, furious about what Ashley had done. Alice frowns at Dmitri. "What are you talking about? What in the bloody hell is going on? Who killed whom?" Dmitri snaps "Ashley just killed Troll!"

Isamu walks up to the cell door. Looking a bit on edge he says, "I am ok, how are you? I have spent some time in meditation, and thinking over everything that has happened to me in the last few days. I have thought about all the things I have seen lately."
He pauses a moment and looks away, then says, "I have tried to see this situation from your side. That is not easy for me to do. You killed him in his sleep. He did not have a chance. For that brief moment you were as bad as he had been. "
He raises his hand to stifle any response or explanation she may have. Looking back at her he continues, "I also know that he was a murderer. He has killed in the past, he tried to kill that woman that you happened to save, and he tried to kill you. When I thought he had murdered you, I felt a total loss of control for a brief moment. If Tyler had not said you were still alive, I do not know what would have happened. For someone like me, who has been trained to be in total control and balance, especially while in battle, that time was frightening. Thankfully I was able to subdue him, and you survived."
"I feel a bit betrayed Ashley. You sent me out of the room today so that you could make your way down here. It was you, not your symbiotes. They made it possible, but you put yourself there. However, I do not feel that you are solely to blame. If I had stayed with you this would not have happened. I also should have never told you Troll was here."
"You were not the only one to want him dead either. I would have not been surprised if William had come in and executed him, or even Tyler. It is just hard to accept that you were the one to do it. Someone I have come to know well, and care for very deeply, even though it has only been a short while."
"I also know that you feel justified in what you did, and perhaps you are. It will just be hard for me to get past it, but I think that based on the past few days, it would be worth it to try."
After a brief pause, "So Ashley, I will stand by you during this time as much as possible, and I will strive to allow our relationship to continue, but please understand if I am a little distant. I am willing to try. I want to try. I hope that you do as well. It will just be harder for me. While I may never be able to accept what happened as a common and acceptable process, I can see why you were pushed to that this time, and hope that you will never do this again."

*Sierra stops dead in her tracks atDimitri's outburst, and then closes the eyes as she gathers control over herself. opening the eyes, she watches with relavtive disinterest as Dimitri and Alice talk. continuing with the unloading of the groceries she waits and then wonders about a few things.
' .. while i was growing up, we had one tiger go nasty and we had to put it down after it mauled its handler. it was doing what came naturally, and instead of keeping a man-killer with us, we removed the problem. maybe its what she did? .. maybe she took responsibility to save the lives of innocents from it? .. but hey, i grew up in a circus

[Isamu]
Ashley said nothing, only staring at Isamu silently when avi and Kerry entered the other cell , exiting a few minutes later with a loaded bodybag. Neither of them acknowledged Ashley or Isamu. Once they were gone, she stepped closer to the bars and reached out to run her fingers along his jaw. With the first sign of emotion since he'd come to her, a tear ran down Ashley's cheek and in a hushed voice, she said, " Thank You."
Behind them there was a hoarse clearing of someone's throat before Tyler spoke. " A little early for this, but I guess you two better do it now, I doubt you can get congical visits on Gramercy Island." He folded his arms and leaned against the doorframe. " sorry kiddo, can't get you out of this one, it's Will's decision. I take it you've decided to face your punishment?"
Ashley nodded," That's why I'm still in here." she motioned towards the duffel over his shoulder," You're leaving us?"
Ty nodded. " Jas and I are going after Wraith. Will thinks he'll lead us to Felicia." He looked at Isamu," Take care of her."
[Sierra & Alice]
Dimitri just glared at Sierra in disbeleif," You think what she did was right? She murdered that man in his sleep."
Kristian butted in. " Back off, mon. Besides, Trevah said dat that Troll guy was a meta like us, and a serial killing cannibal."
" So that makes it okay to just execute him like that?" Dimitri retorted, before turning to Alice. " How can I trust to leave Janie around a killer like that?"
[Will]
Once the brothers had left, Avi returned after a few minutes, knocking on the door before entering. " Need to clean the cell yet, but the body is bagged and waiting for a disposal team Mac has on the way. I didn't give him any details, figured that was up to you."
After a pause, he asked," so what are you going to do with Ashley?"

" ... its okay Kristien. you don't need to fight my fights all the time. i know what i said sounded really stupid. maybe it was stupid to say it that way. but if you have a people killing large carnivore that gets its first taste of human flesh, it turns the hunter to easy prey. people. that's what i meant. those are the dangerous ones. and if this Troll guy was doing that, then yes it was the right thing to do. it might not sound pretty, but it is the safest thing. be happy she didn't eat him. oh ... " *mild curse as she realizes she's squishes a can of peas out of shape*.
*she then looks at Dimitri with a sad smile* "you know, i hoped it was going to be different. you and me are kinda the same. well the four of us really. we're all outsiders to the others, and kinda different from them. i was hoping i could be friends, guess its not gonna happen. thanks anyways, for talking to me earlier big guy" *she pauses to think briefly* " .. i know its easier to attack and hurt something instead of talking and finding out the truth. figured you all are fairly normal looking and wouldn't want to talk to me cause of my skin. you, your European and stand out cause of that, Alice is really friendly and smiles a lot .. and Kristien is from someplace else and sounds .. sorta .. well, nice"
" like i said, i'm sorry i said anything now. i only meant to say that i at least understood WHY she did it. gee whiz, its gotta be tearing her apart now, and knowing that no one cares about her or understands her, will make it that much harder. but dude, you didn't see her with her injuries. Tyler passed out from healing her, and it would have killed him if he didn't have Avi and Kristien and me helping. i might not know all the details, but i don't think i'll be giving an opinion now. don't really like what happens when i do. i'll get the rest of the bags of groceries then ... i can do that job easily enough, besides its fun" *she gives a smile at Alice .. pats Kristien on the arm gently and then heads out past Dimitri without touching him, humming the tune from the circus with plans to getting the rest of the groceries in. somehow already past the pain of the misunderstanding and ready to go on*

Before Tyler walks out, Isamu asks, "What will you do when you find him?"
After they leave, he turns back to Ashley and says, "I will be with you through all of this. I think I need to speak with William though. With the attitude he fosters in the people around him, condemning you to prison for something he would have probably done himself is wrong."
"How are your feeling physically? Stronger I assume."

William looks at Avery. "I'll let her stew for a while." He says. "I can't fault her for what she did, but she killed him in his sleep, and that I cannot abide. Beyond that, I will think of a suitable punishment. Isamu will come to talk to me about her, I'm sure, as well. Consider the matter handled and not open for discussion, though."
