"Deci, head for home and we'll come up with a plan. But keep in mind there's too much going on to handle all at once." Avi said over his band-adio before turning to Siobhan with a shrug," Now we get home, put all the peices of whats going on, and try to put one confusing jigsaw puzzle together."
When Avi and Sio got back to the hoverSUV, he said nothing to either Sierra or Kristian about their departure, and merely said," Let's get home. Isamu is probably gonna flip at Ashley and we need to be there to keep the peace with the big boss there. If we have time though, after that everyone gets drivig lessons. These things aren't that bad to drive once you get the knack of watching gauges."
Kristian looked at Sierra after he buckled in," But you know who's who now, so that's a good sign right?"
* * * * *
December got Avi's message and Trent looked at her. " I know my mom is in there stoned out of her tree with armed dealers in there, so yeah she's in trouble. Everyone stupid enough to get hooked on that crap is putting their life in danger."
* * * * * *
"Our mandate is to deal with crime at whatever level it is found on." Patriot answered. " We just specialize in other meta humans because local law enforcement is not capable of handling our kind that well, but my team has handled everything from super villians down to Minuteman nabbing a purse snatcher in a cold beer store he wasn't supposed to be at." He scowled at the last part as he herded Isamu from the room. At the same time, he heard the familiar engine returning already, indicating Ashley hadn't gone far.

Deci listens in and realizes this is good news and realizes that Trent can not hear it. "Well Trent there is good news. The rest of the team is willing to help but we need to head back there first. We have enough data and I am not letting you get in danger. We will get the team and rescue your mother. If there are any problems I promise you I will save your mother either way. But I do ask for a little time to be sure we are properly prepared." She gives a smile before changing the direction and heading to the base.

Sierra looks at Kristian. 'yeah i know now. thanks for asking'
*she looks at Avi's head and comments as she buckles up and looks out the window. 'no thanks. i have enough issues knowing who's in range and stuff. don't need to mess up cause i sense someone we're after or something. i'll leave the driving to others. thanks anyways'
*her earlier enthusiasm for wanting to drive has vanished like her prior good mood. she doesn't remain down for long. 'sorry it didn't work out for you Avi . . ' *she makes no further comment on the girl that he liked and seems withdrawn now as she watches out the window

Buckling in firmly, Siobhan smirks a little. "I was never a fan of driving, frankly. Is it mandatory?" she asks, leaning forward to settle her elbows on the backs of the two front seats, giving her a view out the front. "Besides, if I'm alone and need to go somewhere, I'd rather just jog it. Since, you know, I can outpace this thing on a bad day."

'well . . i'll look after Ashley if she gets out of hand. she knows i will too. you can keep Iz at bay, but i seriously think he'll get choked if you kiss him . . '
*she says nothing else, but smirks as if thinking of who would have the balls to kiss Iz on the nose like she'll do to Ashley to snap her out of her odd moments of near loss.

Isamu visibly relaxes when he hears the engine pull in. He is able to respond to Patriot, "that is good news since it sounds as if Miss Winter may have stumbled upon something she seems to feel requires our immediate attention. At least she decided to return here and not attempt anything on her own."
Continue to walk with Patriot and remaining silent for a moment he says, "allow me to ask you something Patriot, if I may, how do you deal with team members that ignore your orders and take it upon themselves to act impulsively?"

"Please, we're equals here Isamu," Patriot replied," call me Michael. I've found I have to handle each one diffeerently. Some a simple conversation works with, and others I want to beat some sense into with a 2 by 4." he laughed
Ashley stepped in through the door to look at Is and Patriot, with an expression like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
* * * * *
Avi shrugged," No, I guess driving isn't mandatory, but I'd be nice if someone could get you around in case I was wasn't there." he looked at Sierra in the mirror," Kiss Avi? That would just set Ashley off I think. Nobody wants that." He said as he pulled away towards the beach house.
Beth looked in amazement at the other vehicle leaving. " That is very cool. Next time we need to take that one for a drive." She smiled at Tom before getting in.
* * * *
Trent looked releived." Okay, as long as I get to walk a bit soon." He replied.

"I'll see if we can get into the motorpool." Tom responds.

"We will be there soon and once there I promise you I will put you down and you can walk. But we need to get back to the base as quick as we can." She responds to Trent not wanting to bring up that they would have been at the base already but for the speed she is using right now.

Isamu is about to respond to Patriot when Ashley walks in. He flashes her a look that she knows means they are going to have a "conversation" later.
He says, "allow me to introduce my fiance Ashley, Ashley this is Patriot, I mean Michael," his face now back to its usual stoic look. "Micheal, those items we discussed with the Senator and MacCoulter, how long before I can inform everyone of the changes? Also, how long do you think it will be before the team can meet in the conference room?"

A little puzzled, Sio looks between Avi and Sierra, not really understanding the conversation but seeking to at least follow it.
"I do know how to drive a motorcycle... does that help any? I don't *own* one.. at least not yet." she decides to chime in, once things go quiet.

' . . . ' *her eyes look sadder as they look at Avi in the mirror. a simple headshake and she's looking out the window once again. she wants desperately to exit hte vehicle and walk home, but she stays put and says nothing. she just shunts that pain elsewhere for later release with a pile of stones at the water's edge.
' . . wow . . better than me. i drove a clunker that i've sold and i can ride a horse. not gonna see a lot of that here. you should fit right in Sio. they like cheerful people the most. i was too chatty, i've learned to be quieter. you'll like Ashley. she's cool, even when she's loosing it. told her i'ld kiss her on the nose if she started getting out of hand. i did . . and it threw her for a loop'
*she gives Sio an honest smile as she recalls that scene in the kitchen, then turns to stare out the back window for a while. 'but i'll leave the driving to someone else. i'ld rather . . . be ready to jump out and deal with something than having to pull over and stop and everything else before jumping out' *that said she turns and stares out the side window once again, lost in thought

Siobhan eyes Sierra, a little confused by her odd behaviour, but nods slightly at her comment. "I've never ridden a horse, but I'd love to someday... little nervous that I might fall off and get trampled though." she adds. "And yeah, I'd rather leave the driving to someone else. The 'bike I used to own was pretty nice, for being used, but it got smashed up."

' . . did you smash it or did someone else? sorry, not my business' *she almost turned to look at Sio, but stares out the window some more.
'not sure what you know about me, but i was a circus kid. the troupe was caught in a wildfire when the train broke down. most died and so did my best friend Bubba. i've recovered from that, but it seems i'm still dumb enough to think things should be rose-colored. they aren't and i'm recovering from that assumption too.
*deep breath then she faces the front* 'i was entirely home schooled and have a business degree. not that it counts anymore. figured you should know that much. i make odd comments and want to do strange things, but i haven't done anything dumb in a long time. i'm barred from wandering about on my own. i'm . . . i require a babysitter when i leave the house. but meh . . i don't worry about it anymore. Kristian teases me outta my funks when i fall into them. others i tend to ignore

Siobhan offers Sierra an understanding smile, giving her arm a squeeze (if Sierra doesn't object to being touched, of course). "No, its fine... I don't mind answering most questions." she replies. "The bike was smashed up by someone else... never found out who. Someone in a rival gang." Sio adds, with a shrug.
"A circus kid? Really? What was that like?" she queries, shifting around a bit so that she can better face Sierra. "I've never even been to a circus, so I can't imagine what it would be like being raised at one." the girl adds, a little sigh in her tone. "I'm sorry to hear your friend died.. loosing someone like that hurts, and hurts for a long time.. I know that quite well."
As Sierra shifts in her own seat to face the front, Sio headtilts slightly. "Ahh, that sucks, though I can relate somewhat. After my parents died I had some funk issues of my own... did a lot of crazy shit. At least you have someone who can help, right?"
