Ashley smiled, and kissed Isamu," You're such a sap. If it worries you that much, I'll stop taking it."
*****
Brittney shrugged, and followed Sierra, but as if to show off a little more, Sierra realized that Trevor's girlfriend wasn't walking, but more like floating along. Once, outside, she stopped concentrating, and answered the question, " Spicy, but we never have because Trev's tongue won't handle it. Here, try this."
Three small rocks in front of Brittney float up in front of her, and then shot away. She giggled an "Oops" as they struck the garage, one of them actually lodging in the side. " My bad."
*****
Janie led tom off the elevator onto the second floor. " Upstairs is mainly the command room, where I spend mst of my time when anyone is out. This floor is all living space. It's set up kinda like college dorms with each room being split into two seperate rooms and then a shared coomon area and a half bath. There's a shower at both ends and there's a big deck of the TV lounge with stairs down to the main patio. Come on, we'll go down to the main floor," she sniffed the air, smells like Sierra is working on supper all ready."
*****
" Good, now maybe Jason will stop making excuses why he can't come visit now that he's out of the hospital. " Trevor was obviously amused with his deception. " How is he, really? Being laid up all that time had to be hard on both of you."

Alice smiles weakly at Trevor. "We were actually on our way to visit Ty and Fel when Ragnarok attacked us the first time." Alice shrugs as she adds "I was visiting Ty and the baby often enough, so I don't know why Jason kept making excuses for not visiting." She sighs "Yeah, it's been tough. Mostly on him though. He keeps pushing himself, and I'm worried he'll push himself too far too soon and hurt himself. And it feels like I never know the right thing to say, and we always end up yelling at each other." Alice looks tired. "It's been tough."

Tom looks over "Uh, ok. I mean, if I'm not going to be any trouble. Otherwise if you can just get me to a bus stop I can make way back into town."

* Sierra's face lights up with excitement ' ... oh wow .. COOL ... ' *then gets all twitchy for all of 3 seconds .. and then tries with teh rocks .. but gets 3 bottle caps instead of rocks ... and then she shoves them at the water breakwall and listens to 3 distinct 'PLINK's
' ... woah ... god. i think its cool to be able to do things like that. i copy .. and thats about it .. oh and am strong .. and i made two batches .. one's hot hot hot ... you might enjoy it ... now .. how did the other go? ... '
*she tilts the head to the side as she recalls the 'how it felt' .. and copies it .. and is floating a little off the ground ... 'oh man .. this feels fuu ... ' *lands as she's distracted by the timer 'oh heck ... the muffins .. be right back ... want me to show you how to do things ? .. forward flips or .. things like that? .. ' *she asks as she heads inside to take the pan out of the oven.

" Trouble? How could you be any more trouble than Jason?" Janie chuckled as the elevator took them down to the main floor. The aroma was much stonger as the door opened. " Down here is pretty much just a big living room and kitchen. there's a home gym out in the garage and down in the basement is the holding cells, infermery and armory." she covered her mouth, " Oops, guess I shouldn't have told you about that yet."
*****
Brittney seemed nearly as amused as Sierra, to the point that she followed her back in to the house. " I learned to do that stuff growing up with my brothers, but it's more fun when you mix it with the floating." She looked back to see Janie showing Tom around. " So who's the new guy?"
*****
" Sounds normal. You have to understand that is what Jason does. " Trevor explained. " The more afraid Jason is, the harder he pushes himself, and that's when he makes mistakes, like when he went in after Rags by himself, or when he pushes your buttons and ends up picking a fight." He paused before explaining," That's right Alice. That big dummy is so scared he'll do something to push you away, he ends up trying to do it by mistake. Honestly, the only thing that's kept him alive this long is he's so friggin' lucky."

Alice looks confused and shakes her head. "I don't understand why he would do that. Why can't he just talk to me like a rational person instead of picking fights with me?" Alice sighs, as she adds "It's just that I'm worried that I'm getting to the point where I'll get tired of it and walk away. I understand fights happen in a relationship, but this is getting ridiculous."

*as Sierra is dumping the cornmeal muffins onto a rack to cool off she looks at Britney. still, to have brothers to wrestle with and horse about with musta been nice. i had to be really careful. i ended up going back to the floor antics while i relearned about how to hold things and stuff.
'but hey, i learned to do that and was basically kinda kept in the deark about what was happening. still can't believe life isn't like Mayberry and with Opie on the Andy Griffith Show.
'the new guy? .. Tom .. Tom Titan or something. he's a friend of uh . of Alice's. but he's a people first, differences later. right? so, you grew up in the city and stuff? .. is it really as bad as it looks? with no one caring about others?

Tom simply says. "It's ok. I don't have much interest in that stuff anyways. So, I'm guessing it's always this hectic around here?" Tom wheels looking around and absorbing all the information, while making sure Janie doesn't try to grab the handlebars of the wheelchair.

" Don't know about that, you don't know Deryk and Paul. " Brittney sighed," Better known as Raig and Panek, members of the Brethren. A pair of bonehead dirtbags that give metakind a bad name. Miami's not a bad citry, just our kind seems to more prone to see the underside more than most." She snitched a piece of muffin . " Mmm, pretty good."
*****
Hectic? Not really. You just caught us at a bad time is all." Janie replied, " although it's better now than it was with that mess at the amusement park a while back. since then, things were almost normal around here. Or as normal as a houseful of government employed metas can be I guess. " she smirked. " Why do you keep turning towards me?"
*****
" Then tell the big knucklehead." Trevor suggested. " Odds are that he'll do something stupid trying not to do exactly that. Funny how a trained assassin sucks at having a personal life. My advice, go talk to him before he beats Kristian to make him leave him alone."

Alice smiles weakly at Trevor and sighs. "Yeah, I guess. I don't know how much good it will do, but I'll try. Thanks." She then goes off in search of Jason, heading in the direction Kristian went.

Heading down the stairs, Kristian's voice carried a hint of annoyance as it came up from the basement. " open the bloody door, mon. This is for your own good."
Jason's reply was muffled from behind a door as Alice stepped into the hallway. " I'm fine, Kristian. When you go upstairs, I'll come out."
Kristian turned as he saw Alice," Can you talk sense with him? He's acting like a kid, Alice."
" Alice?" Jason's muffled tone sunk. " SH*t" he sputtered.

Alice sighs and says loudly, "Jason, just let him do what he needs to do and then he'll leave you be. Do it for me, so I know that you're ok. Please?"

There was a silence from inside the room before he answered. " All I've got is a few bruises ansd cuts. Am I right, Frag?"
Kristian nodded to Alice. " He's right."
" Nothing life threatening, so I'll be fine to let them heal out on their own. " Jason replied as the door unlocked and he opened it. " So buzz off. I'm happy to feel anything after what I wnet through, so a few little boobos won't kill me. go play touchy feeling with Sierra of something."
Kristian sputtered something unintelligeble as he rolled his eyes. " I'll be upstairs." He sputtered and when up the stairs.
With a triumphant grin, Jason looked at Alice. " Hi." He said, proud of himself.

Alice returns Jason's grin with a furious glare. "You arrogant jackass! You act like a baby when all Kristian wanted was to HELP you! God! You're so... infuriating! Why exactly do you think I'll be proud of you for acting like a spoiled prat just now?" Alice looks like she's ready to scream bloody murder as she says "I don't even want to look at you right now. I... I just don't know what I might do." Alice turns around and storms away from Jason before she punches him in the face, effectively ending their relationship

" Oh come on Alice, don't get your knickers in a knot." Jason replied, poorly imitating a british accent. " I'm fine. I don't need the docs crawling all over me everytime we go out. Yeah, I took a good knock , but Ty fixed that up. My suit took most of the bus' weight" He held his arms out for her to see it wasn't damaged. He sighed, " guess this means no 'I'm glad your okay' kiss."
