" It's all true Alice, except for the snot kicking I took." Avi called after Alice as she left, turning back to Sasha," Tell her thats how it really was, would you?" Sasha stares blankly at Avi for the space of a few seconds, awaiting something anything to indicate that she wasn't supposed to lie to someone who was obviously worried. Mentally sighing she moves after Alice. "Alice was it?" she asks as she followed her. "I used to be a cop. I've seen some pretty bad beatings, and I've seen some riots turn deadly. I suspect if Avi says he didn't get the snot beat out of him in his mind he didn't. But he was doing the right thing, and I wasn't about to let him die." |

*Sierra just looks at Kristian and then shrugs ' .. i was trying to get one of the trays from up there .. lost my balance .. grabbed for support ..pulled one shelf out and musta yanked the other as i fell ... the the bag of flour fell on my head and .. exploded everywhere
*she starts to sweep up the mess and tosses it out. 'its not like i'm gonna grab 2 shelves .. yank them out and then smash a bag of flour on my head to make people get untense. that da***d onion fell off the counter and got under my foot .. and that is what happened. you think i did this on purpose?'
'could grabed the fridge and chucked it out the door .. but i didn't ... stupid onion .. guess i should make some tea or something now .. my fault i guess, for not being aware of the stupid vegetable' *tosses the mushed offending onion into the garbage and buries it under more flour

" I didn't say you did it on purpose." Kristian sighed at Sierra's instantly going defensive. I only asked..." he let it trail off with a sigh.
"The offer was made, Tom." Ashley pointed out. " You wanted to stay independant instead of joining us. Someone can give you a lift back to your place."
" Oh, Is, their's a message for you from MacColter." Janie said. " He said to give it to you and not ALice for some reason. I didn't open the file."
Avi, following Sasha, looked at her in disbelief as he muttered," Is that supposed to help?"
Still dressed in just the wrapped towel, Jason glared at Sasha and Avi's arrival. " A little privacy if you don't mind. No wait, so this is the woman you turned your back on the team for, Avi?" He snapped.
" It's not like that and you know it, Jas." Avi replied as if expecting this confrontation.

Janie looked at Solomon." Professor, we work for an agency called Control. We're basically part of a government organization that polices other Meta's, including spell users such as your friend downstairs. It would actually be against policy to release him to you for a vigilante punishment." "I see ... and who watches the watchmen?" Solomon pauses for a moment to let it sink in, but not long enough for a response. "very well. in light of the current circumstances I'll do what I can to explain the situation, but it won't be easy. we generally feel we are best suited to handle those like ourselves. I'm willing to act as liaison between our respective groups, but are you sure you're properly equipped to handle Fielder? I would prefer to avoid a repeat of today if humanly possible." |

Avi, following Sasha, looked at her in disbelief as he muttered," Is that supposed to help?" Still dressed in just the wrapped towel, Jason glared at Sasha and Avi's arrival. " A little privacy if you don't mind. No wait, so this is the woman you turned your back on the team for, Avi?" He snapped. " It's not like that and you know it, Jas." Avi replied as if expecting this confrontation. Turning to stare at Jason Sasha's form while not exactly imposing belies the iron will hidden there. She glares at Jason with an imperious and imposing glare seeming to be cut of the most rigid of stone as her eyes connect with his. "Your lack of humanity is disquieting," she says with a cool contemptuous voice. "While Avi injured himself helping me and my employee he gained a trusted Ally and a safe house for you and yours. While the risk seems high, a well informed street connection and safe house in obvious location is an incalculable find." As she finishes she continues to stare at Jason and then addresses Avi. "And no, it wasn't supposed to help, it was meant to be the truth, Avi. I have seen no reason to lie to your friends and potential allies, my abilities unlike those you surround yourself with are not so obvious. When I died the first time I found that I had no true emotions or concerns for those around me. I had been stripped of that which could only call me human." She looks to Avi and then to Jason. "I find it hard to stay dead, I cannot understand the desires of others, and not to toot my own horn but I am something of a genuis. There is no humanity in this shell and yet I know that which is right and wrong and must be done, and Avi I thank you for doing that which was right and just for those who could not." ((50% to trust/intimidate and rolled a 24% to fix Jason with an intimidating stare.)) |

*Sierra looks at Kristian .. and then tosses some flour at his shirt 'there .. now you gotta help ... '
*her giggle starts quietly .. but builds quickly to a point where she's actually laughing again.
'i still blame the onion ... but i did slip on it .. ' *she's calmed herself down and isn't feeling lousy anymore. the giggles start up again as she shakes her head and comments ' ... ooooo creepy .. feels itchy and a little prickly at the same time' *as she flaps the shirt to get the flour off her skin
'still .. its not as creepy as that guy at the club cutting us off like that. guess no one was interested in his face .. wonder if that guy downstairs is the same guy from the hospital morgue?
'so .. now that we have no brown flour .. guess i'll have to make biscuits with white flour

" The duct tape and shackles he's wearing for now should hold him for a while." Ashley replied without taking her eyes off Tom and waiting for his reply.
" I don't know if that was even a person. You heard what the others said about the guy in lockup having monsters." Kristian replied, wiping at the flour on him with a smirk. " Whatever tried to get in the elevator was no meta, you said it didn't feel right while we got out of there. Let everyone get settled in, then we'll make sure your description of whoever blocked our powers gets put in the system. MacColter might recognize him."
Jason backs down, his hand clamped tight on the fold in his towel. Avi on the other has a flash of some other emotion, if only for a moment, before swallowing hard. " Alice, I'll take Sasha back to her bar." He said withdrawn a bit. " I'll be back in twenty minutes, it's not far from here if it's okay?"

Alice simply nods quietly at Avi and replies "That's fine." Turing to Jason, she says to him, figuring he'd want to be alone. "I'll see you when you're cleaned up." She then closes the door softly and heads in the direction of her room, entering it and closing the door.

Avi led Sasha from the bathroom, as Jason turned on the water. They took a different stairwell to bypass the rest of team and out to the garage. He considered taking Jason's classic chev out of spite, but instead walked by the oldie to the Hummer. He didn't say a work as he thumbed the automatic locks open and started to get in. " Have you back to work in time for happy hour." he said as he started the ignition. He looked over at Sasha for a moment as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how.
A few minutes passed before Alice heard her door ease open and Jason peered in. He still had the withdrawn sense about him even as he smirked, " Is it safe to come in or am I in trouble with the bosslady again?"

"A ride home would be good. Thanks. Let me know the next time you could use an extra blunt instrument" Tom smirks.

*Sierra brushes the last of the flour of outside in the air and then takes a couple of deep breathes before getting inside again
'so .. you think everyone's settled down now or will everyone still be all weird still?' *she looks up at the ceiling and then sighs* 'you ever get the impression of not being taken seriously? think i'll just write down what happened instead of talking about it. so, wanna dry the pots or let them air-dry' *she starts to wash the pots that hit the floor and with flour on them.
*her plan is simple. she'll write what happened .. submit the picture as well and then return to her self training. she knows that if and when her help is needed .. someone will call her and let her know. until then? .. she'll keep to herself. it seems to be what everyone else does. she wonders HOW the heck the group stays alive. then shrugs it off and gives Kristian a smile and a light kiss to his cheek 'thanks for helping .. '

Alice glances up at Jason and shakes her head. "No," she replies quietly, looking a bit withdrawn herself. "I'm not mad at you. It's safe to come in."

Isamu said nothing as Alice and Jason took a stripe each off Avi. He was not the true leader here and although he felt that any discussion Alice was to have Avi should have been done in private, he did not want to upset her by saying something then. He instead decided to speak to her later.
Turning to Janie he says, " a message for me? I will take it in the control room." He steps away from Ashley and whispers to her, "I will be right back. I do not want you anywhere near the man we have downstairs." He softens his statement with a small peck on her cheek which is an uncharacteristic public display of affection for him.
He makes his way to the privacy of the control room and reviews the message.

*Sierra wanders to the living room and settles with a pad of paper and starts a summary of actions from that morning. she avoids the boring mundane day to day living and does a fairly indepth review of the actions at the Hospital. describes how she 'spooked' and 'why'.
*then she goes onto the incident where she was in the lead car and sensed something at the hospital and how they split up. with everyone but she and Kristian staying there to get the team mates, while they left to rescue Avi.
*at the bottom after the mention of a 'disagreement of priorities' among team mates, is the mention of a sneaky vegetable working in conjunction with a flour sack that laid her low .. that is then crossed out, as if 'humor' is not needed on the report. the pages are set on the coffee table along with the picture of the Meta that canceled the powers at the fight club. of Sierra, there is no sight, as she's headed downstairs to train herself harder than before

Sasha asks after his look without much preamble. She crosses her arms and waits for Avi to speak. "We're not going to do anything until you speak. Yes you could have died but I would have brought you back to life," she says with a flat tone of voice. "And I was planning on shooting you if you didn't win so we could get you out safely." |
