*Sierra's eyes watch Kristiens stunned look .. and seems to blossom. well the grin on the face could rival the sun. 'thanks ... its nice to know that ... ' *then rises up on the toes to kiss his cheek*
'i'm glad you like it. not many like it hot .. so i tell them to cut it with sugar. and i only took him off guard cause i didn't warn him it was .. hot hot ... '

" Yeah, I'll get it. I'll find you outside." Avi replied and headed towards the door. He returned moments later, pushing Tom's personal chair. " Here you go. You're just lucky they crammed it in my car when I got your camera back. Never would have guessed you needed it when you transformed." He smirked, and leaned in close so no one else could hear," they pay damned good if you include room, board, food, cars, the whole shooting match.
*****
" Uh huh," Trevor nodded sarcastically," you just never really broke up and you both blame each other for a dump that never happened. So closure would be such a bad thing? what's the worst that could happen,? Nothing compared to what you're putting yourself through while ten bucks says he's currently about to get drunk and wash away his sorrows. But whatever, not my place to decide." He handed back the letter and started to leave. He smirked," Now I understand what you saw in one another, you're both hard on the head."
*****
" I like hot stuff." Brittney smirked impishly. " Just look what I'm sleeping with." She was about to take another spoonful when her phone rang. " Excuse me," she said as she answered it, Sierra and Kristian getting half a conversation
" Hello?"
" Yeah, we're still here, why?"
" Okay, I'll tell him. 20 minutes."
" Yes, we'll be there. Yeesh."
She hung up and put the phone away. " Looks like lunch will have to wait. Ty just got the drop on some Brethren troubles." Sierra could feel her use her telepathy.

Alice scowls at Trevor "Real nice." she snaps "I'm all upset, and you insult me." Shaking her head, she adds "Now that you've done your Dr. Phil impression you can go away and leave me alone now." Once Trevor is out of the room, she slams the door and flounces back on the bed. 'Jackass' she thinks angrily to herself. 'What the hell does HE know?'

Tom switches to his real chair while strapping his legs into the braces attached to the footrests of the chair. "DUI when I was 15. My folks were fine, the guy who hit us...wasn't." With a moments concentration, the legs detach and the braces allow Tom to walk in a way that appears relatively normal. "Let's step outside." he replies to Avi's last statement.
Tom walks onto the beach and takes a deep breath. "I'm going to assume what you just said to me was an offer. My answer, at least for now, is no. I'm not sure what I want in this life, not completely. I want to write, that's for sure. Travel, that sort of thing. And...I want to help people. Use these talents to do what I can. So if I can help you guys, I will, because Alice is a friend and you seem like pretty good guys. But I'm not interested in the money, or the other stuff you mentioned. So, you want a hand, you've got it, no charge. But I want and need the freedom to say and write and think what I please, and I don't want any obligation to anyone to get in the way of that."

*Sierra looks at Britney and sighs* 'well ... just be safe. and don't get hurt'
*she glances at Kristien, then shrugs and reaches over to give Britney a pat on the shoulder 'if it means anything. i think you're good for him. Trevor seemed a bit .. loopy a couple of times. maybe it was me, who knows. i just know that he flounced out of here and didn't come back'
*holds out a couple of apples 'might as well eat something while you drive .. we'll talk again, if you show up. i'm not allowed to go anywhere on my own anymore'

Trevor seemed to zone out as he was scolded, a look Alice had seen many a time when she used her telepathy. He was already in a near run as Alice slammed the door, leaving her alone with her thoughts to sort out.
*****
" Trev is loopy, but I'll keep him on the straight and narrow." Brittney replied, catching the apples, but she set them on the counter. At the same time, Sierra could sense she was using another power," We won't be driving. No time for that, besides, I've got Air BLEVE."
Trevor came through the door on cue and motioned to the patio. " All set?"
Brittney nodded," Already got my flame retardant on, my loving flaming retard." She grinned.
" Cute." Trev scowled . " Maybe we'll stay longer next time."
they ran out to the patio past Tom and Avi and Trevor transformed to his fire form, took Brittney in his arms and took flight, passing close to Alice's window as they soared off.
Kristian looked at Sierra," Aren't the Brethren the kind of metas we're supposed to be trying to stop?"
*****
" Well that was rude." Avi said after the interruption. He turned back to Tom. " that wasn't my intentions Tom, I'm not a recruitment officer. Besides, that's up to Alice since this is her team. I don't expect any of these kids to make a life out of Control like Jason or me, so in exchange for them providing their talents to help out the city, the company provides whatever we need, plus some money in tha bank for when it's time to move on. heck, it's almost unprecidented that at least half of them haven't quit already." He doesn't bother hiding his surprise in his statement."

' ... they are? .. she just seems nice. guess that the Brethran really are just people after all. who knows, maybe its just a ... i don't know ... a family thing?' *she turns to study Kristien's face and then moves to the sink with the dirty dishes and preps the topping for the loaves still in the oven.
'besides, what did she learn?. i copy, and can pick them up from anyone nearby? that is so scarey. copy use. know what i'm doing? .. nope, unless someone else used it or i saw them using it. *she pauses to look at him and then pulls the hands out and shakes them free of suds and then sets the washed dished in the rack.
' ... so if you're really worried we ask Jane about it' *she turns and shuts off the heat under the chili. once they are dry, she moves to the intercom and presses for the warroom. 'hey Janey? .... ' *noticing Ashley and Izamu sitting in the front she asks them 'are Brethren antics or movements something we ned to monitor? .. cause .. Trevor and Britney just took off. do we need to do anything or just leave it and have lunch? its just about ready

Alice frowns as she sees Trevor flying off with Torment. 'What in the world?' she wonders to herself. Lying on her back on her bed, she supposes that as the leader it's her job to go find out what's going on, and if there's something they need to do. Figuring that if anything is going on, someone would let her know, she resumes staring at the ceiling, Trevor's words running through her head. Maybe she should go talk to Jason, even if it was just to let him know he was wrong when he thought she'd dumped him. Sighing, she rubs her eyes and closes them, hoping to get some sleep before the next disaster strikes.

"OH, sorry there. Didn't mean to bite your head off. Thanks again for getting my stuff. " Tom sees the others take off. "Is that something we should be concerned with?"

* Sierra continues with ' .. well they didnt leave to do Brethren stuff .. they got a call .. and it was mentioned. might be noting .. but whereever it is .. they said be there in about 20 ... and he flew away'
*she turns to watch Kristien 'there .. i may not know everything, but if you ask someone, maybe they know .. and if not .. they will know someone that does'
*she gives his nose a light kiss .. and then slips out from under his arm and heads back tot he oven, to deal with the finished came loaves .. and setting them on the cooling racks, she stirs the lemon juice and sugar one last time .. then divvies it up between the 2 loaves. 'guess we're gonna have to go shopping after all ...
*looking to the porch she asks Avi and Tom* 'hey, you two want a cold soda or water or something? .. chili's done .. salad's done and so are the muffins and dessert is cooling now. when we're done, i can pull out the carton of vanilla ice cream i've been saving'

Seeing Trevor leave, Ashley dragged Isamu by the hand towards the house," Come on, something's happening."
*****
" I'll be right back." Avi said with concerned tone and he disappeared upstairs.
Kristian sighed, " Something tells me we're not gonna be home long enough to enjoy the meal, Sierra."
A few moments later, Dmitri and Janie walked in. " what's with Avi?
" Trouble maybe." Kristian replied.
*****
Alice's attempt to nap was interrupted by Avi's voice in her ear from the band-adio. His voice soundsd as though he was on the move." Bosslady, we have a Brethren problem not far from the hospital. Ty's people are already involved, but I think it needs checking out. Do you want anyone to go with you to track down that nutcase of yours?"
*****
Padding back down the stairs, Avi was all business as he spoke, " Deth and a bunch of his goons are causing problems near the hospital. Trev is headed there with Ty, but they will be outnumbered three to one. Let's go even the odds, shall we?"
Janie looked at sierra, " I'll put this stuff any."

Alice frowns, a bit confused. Answering Avi over the radio, she asks "Shouldn't I go with you guys and do leadery-type things instead of chasing over what is apparently my ex-boyfriend who wants nothing to do with me?" Alice sits up and ties her hair back into a ponytail as she waits for a response.

" And do you think your head is on straight enough to do those so-called leadery-type things?" Avi countered. At the same time, he took out a band-adio from his pocket and offered it to Tom. " You'll need one of these if you're working with us. Just stick it behind your ear like this." he turned to show his own.

Alice starts to automatically say that she is ok, but then sighs audibly and replies in a defeated tone of voice. "No, probably not. I'd probably be too distracted." Standing up, she says "No, this is probably something I should do on my own, everyone else should go to the hospital."

*looks at Janey 'yeah ... give the loaves a chance to cool off so no nibbling .. there's some pudding in the fridge from before. well time for the coat then. makes me wonder if it was a stupid idea to make the coats in the first place, just seem bad luck.
*she shakes her head and puts the gloves back on and then covers the scales that is her skin. she sighs once as she says .. 'at least i'll be able to copy Britney if we get in range. maybe be a reading on the others .. and let you know if any are sneaking up behind.
*as she heads towards the garage* ' makes you wonder if there's a way to get the system up there to pinpoint exact signatures? .. that way if someone goes out and vanish, we'll now where to send them ? .... '
