The beach was fairly crowded, but the only meta Sierra could sense was a young boy that was more concerned with tunneling in the sand than his state of being. That was until she neared the water and sensed another coming towards her for the ocean, and a powerful one at that. Emerging from the surf was a tall, powerful looking woman wearing a bathing suit. She didn't seem to notice Sierra's attention on her.

*Sierra ensures that she doesn't touch anyone. its odd, a person in jeans and a leather jacket walking in the edge of the water. a part of her marvelled at these two. the fact they could be in plain view and still be invisible to the masses.
*that thought seems insignificant to what she feels about herself now. she just needs to figure out how to be more helpful in combat situations. she grew up in a dream for some people. life in the circus must be fun. travel. people. animals. money. the list could go on, but the only thing she really learned about the circus was that the group as a whole prospered when everyone did their part and trained together. so far? .. its just her every morning by herself for a couple of hours.
*she ensures that no one is nearby to get the kick of water she aims at the ocean, venting her bout of doubt and frustration. 'well .. guess its my fault after all. figures. oh well, now how to deal with it is the question'

" I don't think the water deserves such treatemt." Said an accented voice. Behind Sierra stood the woman who had come out of the water. She was towelling off. " Don't tell me, you're cheating boyfriend turned into fish and swam away form you?"

*Sierra stiffens then looks behind her. 'sorry .. and no he didn't'
*she wipes the eyes as she looks at the sand and moves out of the water lapping at her sneakers. 'can i ask you a question? .. how do you deal with norm's? besides looking likethem i mean. yeah .. like me too .. and a few others about the area'
*the closest she'll come to stating ~hey world. i'm a Meta~. 'i mean, .. i'm not sure what i mean anymore'

The woman chuckled before replying in her accen. " I don't, or I haven't for a quite some time. I did my part protecting the norms, and now it's my time for a while. A chance to do the things I missed out on spending my life in service to my country." she began to towel off her massive body, " Now I'm taking my turn."

' ... oh ... ' *Sierra seems more confused than before, but only the eyes show the glimmer of confusion for about three seconds before going blank of emotion.
'did anyone care you were .. you? .. or they just use you like a tool?' *her spot in the group so far is not secure. just when she thinks she understands something, she looses her grounding and seems to drift again. 'sorry .. i blather. didn't mean to pry. i'm just ... lost now'

" Oh, there were some," replied the woman," but most any of us had were our own kind. We had to look out for one another while the powers that be certainly saw us as weapons at thier disposal." She chuckled as she got dressed. " You're lost? My dear, I'm on the run in a bloody foriegn country and I'm not sure my own would take me back, or if I want to go back. And they think I'm sort sort of national hero there."
[ooc: should have pointed out, her accent is similar to Alice's. and need an IQ check]

[IQ check 4 on a d30. pass]
' .. a weapon. yeah .. that's how i feel at times. but i'm unpredictable, can't be trusted i guess. maybe i'm trying to hard to be nice and friendly. well if you really wanna hide .. i can give you phone number. small family circus, but i'm sure you'll find something you can do to earn your keep
*a look of yearning crosses the face followed by pain then nothing. 'it's a thought. i'm CC. real original name, but its who i am now. don't show you're powers here. there's a group like us that are hauling us away. on the orders of the mayor, who's like us. just be careful okay?'
*Sierra squats and picks up some sand. then crushes it in her hand before opening it up to look. nothing changed. 'oh .. right .. heat and pressure on coal to make a gemstone .. ' *she stands up now that the woman has gotten dressed. 'you kinda remind me of someone .. just can't think of who .. ' [oh my .. now she's lying? .. eep .. Si's been corrupted]

" Others of our kind don't worry me, my dear." The woman laughed. " I've been at this since the 30's I can handle myself quite well."
Sierra suddenly put the pieces together that this was brittania , the one Isamu had said Control was to look out for because she had escaped Grammercy Island.

' ... Brittania .... so .. what did you do to get locked up? oh don't worry. i could tell someone, but who would believe me or more to the point, who would be willing to fight with me. that's the thing, what's got me annoyed. grew up not needing to fight and now? gotta fight other meta's. i try to help one and the guy gets all 'eww girl cooties' .. now another doesn't want me about. lots of fun. thanks for listening at least .. i don't feel so miserable now'
*stuffs the hands in the pocket and stares at her sneakers and sighs once then looks up with a smile 'i'll be fine .. just gotta get these ones under control. gotta smile so the world knows everything is okay'

Brittania doesn't look impressed that sierra knows who she is, but merely replies," Let me give you some advice. I have dealt with some unsavory individuals and had some wonderful teammates in all my years, and I have learned that putting up with some foolishness is worth it rather than going it alone. Especially when you have no choice." She raised her eyebrows with a smirk," As for why I was incarcerated? That would be because of your bleeding heart court system in this country."

Sierra looks up at her 'yeah .. and they woulda removed me years ago if they knew about me. still .. talk to Eli at *rattles off a number*. might not be the greatest place to hide, but no one would think to look for you there. just tell him Bubba's playmate suggested you call .. nuff said about that'
'i'll think about it. not stupid enough to go on my own .. learned my lesson about that. just .. hard adjusting to make others happy. good luck and thanks. didn't see you .. so you're clear there for three days. i'll recall seeing you on the beach .. best i can do'
*she gives a half smile, then looks at the water. she counts to 20 .. then looks about.

Brittania laughed. " My dear, I'm not running and hiding. I thank you for the offer, but I can fend for myself, and will leave on my own terms." she became very serious," And no one will change my mind."

" nice to meet you as well, CC. Prehaps someday we'l meet again." Brittania replied. " keep in mind one thing. Don't try to make others happy. If they are your friends, they'll be happy enough to have you around and you won't have to conform for them."
