Kristian smiled warmly, " I have a standing invite anytime I want to get my hands dirty from Tyler, and I am nowhere's near as talented as him or Trevor. Besides, I have enough to keep my hands full right here." His smile gave way to a mischevious grin as he pulled Sierra close again.
" Get a room you two." Ashley said, taking a bite of cookie. She shook her head at Isamu," Is, you really need to lighten up a little. So how did the talk go with Jason anyways? You dragged me out of there so I'm assuming not good."
Avi nodded and headed towards the otherside of the beach house. " Good luck. And hope you don't need it." As the door open, Alice could see Jason standing next to the treadmill, wiping his face with a towel. With no shirt on, his scars were very apparent down his back. " Avi, if thats you coming.." His voice changed as he turned and saw who it was. " Uh, hi."

*the ease Sierra had seems to slam to a stop as the walls go up. Kristien can see the effect the words have in the two seconds it takes for her to sigh and then paste a 'happy' smile on the face.
'oh .. ' *jumping with shock as if hit with electricity and going red before going nearly white* ' ... oh so sorry Ashley. excuse me. i, uh, i have some sewing to do if i'm going to have anything to wear later tonight. i'll work on your jacket then K ... '
*she leaves before the tears spring to her eyes. the fact that she feels wronged never comes out. she scoots herself upstairs before anything else is said and shuts her door and leans on it briefly, before she gives a sigh and then moves to the closet where she's got a table set up and pattern pieces set out. she hopes she's not disturbed immediately, as she doesn't think she can be pleasant immediately. the last thing she wants to do is say something the wrong way and make things worse.

Alice smiles a little nervously at Jason as she replies "Hey. How're you doing?" Stepping into the room, she waits for his response, as she mentally rehearses how to tell Jason about the phone call from Mac.

"Talking to him was difficult. He had just argued with Avi. Urging him to stop would have only made him push himself harder. I simply tried to reach out to him with words, hoping he would see reason on his own. Aside from forcing him to stop, reason seemed like the best approach. In the end though he will do what he chooses is best for himself. I dragged you away because he seemed ready to flare up again, and I was worried what would have happened if you tried to say anything to him. His operation may have repaired his back, however his temper was not affected."
After taking a bite from his cookie he continues, "I am sorry if I am to...umm I think the saying is to 'set in stone'," he says with a smile, "I can't help it, that is how I am made. Very good cookie Sierra," he says as she leaves the room.

*Sierra is annoyed for all of 10 seconds as she starts setting up to sew the leather pieces to the lining. turning on the light over the machine, she gets started getting the pieces put together.
*she vents her annoyance as she does this, so it won't poison her later* 'yeah right .. like i'm the only one not allowed to hold hands of kiss. jeeze, what a flippin hypocrite. not gonna happen, at least not for me. i'll smack her next time .. god that annoys me'
*she then gets started to put the leather bits together and finally smiles as she sees the finished product coming to life before her eyes. she's glad that the heavy ribbon ties finally fit the grommets and once its threaded, she sets it aside.
'i wonder if there's a place to sell the clothing on the street? .. maybe the club has a place to display them? well, maybe not. i don't .. oh who am i kidding. i wont be the greatest at anything if i'm constantly running away and hiding when someone says something mean. but selling these would be cool. just where is the question ... '
*she gets to work stitching the pieces for Kristien's jacket together next. and hums as she works, happier now than she was before.

" I know Is, it's just sometimes it's just hard to read you." Ashley replied. " And getting me out of there was a good idea, my temper can be as bad as Jason's. Problem is he can't keep his in check. He'll be okay though. Too tough and stubborn not to be. She looked at Kristian, who had gone quiet and stared off after Sierra. " I'll go see if she's okay. You guys chat. " she grabbed a couple cookies, gave Isamu a peck on the cheek and headed off.
Kristian looked at Isamu, shaking his head," all these powers and we'll still never figure them out, eh mon?"
Pulling on his shirt, Jason shrugged. " I'm okay I guess. Glad you're not coming to yell at me too. Or are you? I had enough of that from Isamu and Avery, so please don't/ All I came out here for was because I'm supposed to use a treadmill twice a day as part of my therapy. Yes, I got a little carried away and sped up a bit, but I needed to know if I could use my speed again. I didn't go wide open,just enough to see if I could and next thing Avi barges in and... why am I telling you? He probably ran straight to you to complain, didn't he?"
a knock came on Sierra's door. Muffled, Ashley could be heard from the other side," Sierra, you okay? You seemed upset when you blew out of the kitchen."

*the sound of the sewing machine stops as Sierra turns to look at the door and then answers*
'yeah .. i'll be fine. i have some sewing that i've been neglecting. so i came to my room. do me a favor? .. let Kristien know i'll have his coat done by tonight when we leave for the club'
*she looks at the material and then sighs before standing up and moves to the door and opens it and looks at Ashley. 'oh, don't worry. i won't touch anyone in your sight again. kinda silly actually. you and Alice can touch and snuggle, and i have to be gentle because i'm strong. just let me know what the plan is when its time. i'll be busy making the coat ... '
*she gives a semi sad smile and then shakes her head. 'have fun .. now if you'll excuse me i gotta get back to work' *she backs away and half closes the door and then retreats to the machine and it starts up again as she works.

Alice takes a deep breath and, after mentally counting to five, shakes her head and replies "No, I'm not here to yell at you. Avi didn't run over to me to tattle on you to get you into trouble. I just wanted to let you know that Mac called me because he said he couldn't get a hold of you on your cell phone because he wanted to see if you felt up to going back to work." Alice falls quiet and waits for Jason's response and watches to see what his reaction is to the news.

" What? Girl, are you crazy?" Ashley sounded half annoyed, trying the door to see if it was locked. " It's called sarcasm, and you should be used to it by now. Open this damned door and we'll get a few things straight."
Jason fell quiet for a minute, looking at Alice," What kind of work?" He finally asked quietly

Alice shrugs as she replies "He didn't really specify. He just said he had some field work and was wondering if you felt up to going back."

*Sierra turns away from the sewing machine as she watches Ashley open the door.
'fine ... so its sarcasm .. on the tail of a different discussion wansn't what i really wanted to hear. well part of the other chat was good .. but most of it wasn't. so what did you want Ashley? i'n not hiding what i am, i was just occupying my time constructively
*she crosses the arms on the back of the chair and watches quietly as Ashley regains her composure.
'so what part did you want to know about? . the fact i was wlling to go out in the water and be bait? go chase the guy in the water .. even if i can't swim .. the part when his skill gets him out of range and i drown out there cause i can't swim? or maybe the fact that no one listened to me the first time i said i sensed a Meta out there. i might know a lot Ashley, but i do know what i can do. i spent years learning how to be 'gentle', how to hold things like eggs when excited so i didn't crush someone's hand. even spent years growing up watching people hold hands and be cuddly and knowing i'ld never have that chance.
'so on top of the want to kill the guy that sent the damned shark to kill Kristien, getting ignored by everyone then yelled at by Avi to focus and help, to finally calming down enough to .. cuddle with Kristien and relax again, i get told to 'get a room'. so instead of causing a big scene downstairs and possibly breaking something out of anger or someone .. i left. now you want to yell at me for doing that. so, thanks, really helpful. wiating to hear your side now ... '
*she stands up and seems calm as she leans against he wall with crossed arms. the simple fact that her nostrils are flaring show that she's still holding back her physical reaction. the eyes narrow slightly as well, as she studies Ashley. her mind calculating a variety of moves to either 'attack' or 'withdraw' .. and knows the easiest way to deal with this is to leap off the balcony and go for a walk instead. a slow smile spreads on the face instead at her plan of retreat, simple and effective

Again, Jason thought about it. " I'm not sure I want to go back to that. What do you think?" There was something about the look in his eyes as he waited for an answer, as if the question had more to it.
Ashley stopped, the suprised lok on her face saying it all as a pair of her symbiotes raced acrossed her neck. Her hand instinctivly coming up to cover them too late." Look, no one listened right away because we wanted to make sure /kristian was okay, just like you. would you have preferred we left him bleeding on the beach and all went to track his attacker down? Aand in case you hadn't noticed, I need people to yell at me to back down every once in a while. You won't hurt my feelings, not by a long shot. " She misread the situation obviously, thiking she was provoking a fight. " Look, K is putting on a brave face, but he's still hurting, I can smell it. And he needs you. Do this sewing later."

*the tip of Sierra's tongue slips out and can be seen being held in place as she stares at Ashley. and then she nods 'fine .. i yelled. seems you still want something more. did you know that first full moon about 3-4 months ago when we first were here to get back Felicity and her baby? remember that time? did you know that the others were making use of their mouths to run you down. well some of them. they probablly forgot by now. other than Isamu, i was the only one that wanted to actually visit with you. to let you know you weren't alone or forgotten. i understood your anger, and was actually on your side. result of that? .. everyone jumped down MY throat about it. you're welcome .... excuse me'
*in a blur, she's backflipping and then springs off the balcony and out of view to the ground below.
*she hits the sand and then moves to the ramp to the deck and goes inside the kitchen to look at Kristien and Isamu 'i'm fine ... she's still upstairs .. probably picking her jaw up off the floor. and no *looking at Izamu* i didn't deck her .. i might have wanted too .. but i learned from killing eggs how to control my temper and strength.
*she movesto Kristien's side and her hand hovers briefly then withdraws to her side 'i think you need to rest. should i get Avi to help you get to your room? or can you reach the sofa on your own? you can hold onto me for support' *she holds open an arm and then her eyes narrow as she looks to the door just prior to Ashley walking in. to prove a point, she picks up an apple and shows it and with a sad look squeezes it and it pops into mush in her hand. her tone shows no regret as she simply states 'oops. see what i mean?'

Isamu says, "I am glad you did not. While she may have not hurt you, she would have changed and the two of you would still be fighting. I am sure she was not trying to end up fighting with you. She was concerned about your sudden departure."

*Sierra's shifft briefly to look at Isamu and she simply smiles sadly. 'yeah .. i'm sure she was worried'
*her eyes shift again to Ashley's and then she looks at Kristien and shakes her head at him 'i'll be fine. hard things to swallow at times. but i'll be fine playing the Meta sniffer until my brain frags on me at the club. ready to move now?'
*she flicks the apple mush off her hand and waits quietly, waiting for a reaction from any of the 3 in the kitchen with her now.
