Sierra looks at Sio and listens. at the mention of someone that can help her get out of her funk, the eyes shift to look at Kristian and then back again. the small smile shows she's content with that arrangement.
'the thing i learned there was simple. everyone watches the other's back. they're a big family. this group doesn't really do that. i've given up trying to do what comes naturally now. there seems to be no point in trying to try. sure, in the field i'll watch another's back, but it seems to me that . . . ' *shrugs* 'sorry. part of my funk showing'
*the window seems to close now as the desire to talk about it leaves her face. 'i'm gonna enjoy seeing if i can't skip to the bouy in the bay . . . '

Siobhan offers another nod of understanding, then draws back a bit as it becomes apparent that Sierra isn't really interested in chatting further. However, it does get her to thinking on her own past, how she'd been in a similar 'family', where watching each others back was the most important thing to all of them... until they'd been betrayed from the top of the chain, at least.
A bit of a sigh as she settles back into her own seat, gazing out the window as well.

" As in the Patriot?" Ashley asked as she shook Michael's hand while he nodded. " Your timetable is up to Mac, and I think my father and Mac will be in discussions for a while."
Shortly there after, the two car loads of team members arrive back at the beach house. Deci and Trent land nearby, and are within sight when the cars pull up.

"So, how about dinner?" Tom looks at Beth. "We really should see if we can actually go somewhere without running into a supervillain. Just for novelty's sake."

Isamu looks at Ashley, "Ashley, find us an empty room with enough seating and some privacy. As soon as everyone arrives gather them there. Everyone. Once every single person on this team is there, call me on the radio," he says as he motions to his ear, indicating his band-aid-io, "I need to speak with everyone," the tone of his voice is definitely edgier than Ashley has ever heard it before, and she can tell that refusing wouldn't be a good idea.
He crosses his hands behinds his back as he waits until Ashley leaves. Once she does he then turns to Patriot, "how much say do I have on who is on this team and who is not?"

Deci lands perfectly with her charge and turns to him before she continues forward. "Now Trent I promise you that action will happen. If not by the team I will help you." She pauses for a second, "I know I said this already, and I will probably say it again. It is me and how I am!" She gives a smile and offers a hand to the younger male to walk in with her.

Sierra gets out of the hover vehicle and is waiting for Kristian to ask a question, then stiffens as she sees Deci. 'Hey Sio? . . remember when i said there was another person to our team? . . that's her. that's Deci'
*its clear that Deci and Si have some kind of dirty water between them. it's more obvious with the fact her back is to Deci now. 'i'm going inside. i just discovered i'm real thirsty. maybe a coke or water will help. see you inside . . . '
*without aradio to tell her to meet up, Si will enter and head to the kitchen. she's deep in thought about something at this time

Ashley nodded just as her cellphone chirped to remind her she had gotten a text earlier. She took it out and read it as she started to walk away, then turned back and gave it to Isamu, " You want every member, I'll let you answer this. I'll get the others in the kitchen." There was an edge to her tone like something was bothering her, but it didn't show on her face as she walked away. The message on the phone was:
Do you need us to come home? - Alice [/quote]
"She has a bit of spirit I can tell." Patriot commented as Ashley walked away.
* * * * * *
Beth smiled at Tom as she waited for him to get out of the car. " That would be nice. I know a few places you might like. I did a turn at the food critic column when I was a summer intern at the paper."
From the other car, Avi and Kristian got out and Avi said," I could use a beer, or six, about now."
Kristian nodded," You got that right, mon. See you two inside."
Avi looked at Siobhan," What about you? Up for a social night before we get to work tomorrow?"
Ashley came outside and shouted at the others in what could only be a 'no nonsense' tone " Is wants everyone in the kitchen for a sit down."
Trent hesitated then refused the hand politely, " Don't want to give your friends the wrong idea." Hearing Ashley's bellow, he looked at Deci," I can wait outside. I'll go out on the beach, but I'll behave myself this time." He smirked.
Arriving in the kitchen, Sierra could see Isamu and the other new arrival in conversation n the living room.

Tom hovers out of the car and into his chair "Alright, then you pick the place." He smiles.

Deci looks around and pulls out a $20 from inside her shoe. "Instead of that, why don't you go get something to eat. But stay around the area and here is my cell if you need it. It is really easy to remember too as it is sunbathing or 7862284464. But also promise me you will not go far."
Once she is satisfied Deci heads inside the place staying quiet as she is deep in thought and worried about Trent outside.

Isamu looks at the text and thinks, 'soon you can come and lead and I can step aside for now, it is probably best we only have one leader here'.
What he sends back though is, "this is Isamu. We are going to help Trevor. We have some new team members that will be of help. For now, enjoy your time away. We may need to call upon you soon, and it would be better you and Jason are rested."[/b]

Siobhan smiles then shrugs at Avi's question. "I'm always up for a social night. I'm not the partier I used to be, but it never hurts to kick back and relax." she replies, then looks to the others as she enters the building. "Whats going on?"

Isamu stands with Patriot waiting for everyone to file in. As he watches to see who bothers showing up, he takes a deep breath and mumbles in Japanese, "to allow anger to overtake you is to be thrown off balance."
Trying to relax slightly for the first time since leaving the meeting he takes another deep breath and lets it out as he realizes he is not alone he says to Patriot, "I am sorry i was momentarily detracted. Are there as many problems in Washington, as appear to be here in Miami?"

Deci after entering the house does head to the kitchen sees who is all there and smiles the best she can (and not fake) before taking a seat.

"I got one." Trent nodded, accepting the money before heading down the street towards the coffee shop.
Ashley continues to herd everyone up until she gets them into the living room where Isamu and the guest were waiting. Patriot replied to Is, "You have no idea. Just be glad you don't have to play with the politicians here."
