*the pain filled eyes change slightly as she watches Ty's actions, the result and his attitude about it. a glimmer of hope shines in them, "i won't be alone? .. you can help? you can make sure i don't kill anyone this time?" *then looks away before the look can be ID'd, and a semi crackling hand moves to wipe the wet face. a loud 'ooow' .. and a lurch back from her hand into Ty's shoulder, and the scent of ozone speaks volumes that she won't admit. she just shocked herself and won't admit it.
*then the body relaxes and the head drops forward, as relief washes over her and the stress of everything overcomes her. sleeping against his arm, she remains unaware of anything at the moment. sleep, a rare commodity for her is a treasured gift. one to be used when it is offered, and the fact that safety is the strongest part of this nap means the world to her, as she offers what little in return for the sense of security to Ty. her trust.

William stopped walking, and turned to face Ashley, lightly hovering of the ground as he does. "You assume much." He says, hovering dangerouly close, so that ashley can tell each individual black vein in his silver eyes. "Mostly that it is your fault that you hit Trevor, or mine." His voice changes from paternal to something hard, cold and forceful."It was his fault. He chose to resume his normal form. He chose not to fight. He even chose to stand there and let you hit them. None of these did I tell him to do. And certainly none did you tell him." He steps back. "If you want to get through this, with, or without my help, then you need to stop assuming it's always you're fault."
His voice and face lighten as he steps away. "I am satisfied about the chances of everyone here but Trevor. It's a pity for him that his little guilt trip won't work on the people that come to hurt him. If you want him to survive, you can't let him see you upset everytime you hurt him."
And he turns, and walks away again towards the cottage.

Alice's head looks back, a bit startled as she'd gotten lost in her own thoughts. She closes the first aid kit and stands up and starts to walk with Michael back to the house. She nods and say "Will wanted Ashley and Trevor to spar, but Trevor wouldn't fight back or defend himself." Alice shivers slightly, even though it's not cold outside, clutching the first aid kit to her chest as if it was a security blanket. "He just stood there. I don't understand why he would do that." They continue to walk in silence for a minute before Alice asks "Who's the Brethren? They were mentioned before?" Alice glances at Michael and says "If you don't want to talk about it, it's ok, I was just curious."

*maria shifts a little in her sleep, enough for the head to drop to Ty's leg and continues to sleep deeply. she remains unaware of her new talent that refuses to stop when she sleeps, as the colored lightning-like energy washes over her body from time to time. as of yet there is no control over it, just exhaustion showing on the face that seems utterly innocent at the moment.
*it is only after about 5 minutes in her new postion that the eyes flutter open, half aware of anything about her and the crackling she's making causes her to gasp once and take a deep breath, then its gone. her eyes close once again, and nothing comes from her body other than the tiny snore from time to time.

Ty placed a comforting hand on Maria's arm, ignoring the occasional zap she gave him. After a few minutes, her rest was disturbed by his cursing and a 'woop woop' of a siren. Glancing in the mirror, he spoke loud enough to make sure she was awake." We've got company. I'm gonna need your help losing them. how many marbles or whatever can you charge at once?"
" Don't turn your back on me." Ashley snapped at Will, running ahead to get in front of him and block his path. " You told me you were going to put me in charge. fine, Ill make a desicion then. You (she jabbed Will in the chest with her finger) are going to work with Trevor, one on one, to help him learn to use his powers." She lowered her hand with a sheepish look, realizing she'd probly gone too far.
Don't ask me why he'd do that, I've been here as long as you have. Mikey replied as they walked. At her question about the brethren, he made let out a deep breath, with sounded like a sigh, the first noise she'd heard him make. The Brethren are alot like a street gang, made up of metas like us. they're led by a guy named Denial, but I don't think very many members have ever seen him, let alone outsiders. Ty and his group and the Brethren have been at odds for a long time now, ever since he got Felicia decide between him and the Brethren. Mikey stopped and looked at Alice, smiling. Sorry, I don't mean to babble.

"Are you sure you want me to do that? To work one on one with him?" William asks Ashley, plainly. "You may have already guessed that I don't use very orthodox measures. But, if you want to be in charge, and make that call, it's up to you." Scratching his chest slightly where she poked him, he steps around her, turning her at the shoulders to walk with him and continues for the cottage. "If you're sure about this, then I'll start tonight."

Alice smiles back at Michael. "It's ok," she replies "it's nice to finally get some information on things everyone talks about and just assumes that I know everything they do." Alice frowns a second later and then she asks "You mean Felicia was a part of the Brethren? It seems like almost everyone here was a member of the Agency or the Brethren at one point or another." She smirks "Well, except for me." Glancing at Michael, she says "Sorry, now it's my turn to babble." before falling quiet again.

*sits up, the panic clear in the eyes, much like the voice that squeaks 'its a rai ... huh? .. what? .. marbles? .. i don't know .. ' *the static buzzing a bit more over the body as the mind tries to settle down enough to think straight. 'charge marbles .. uhh .. i got my slingshot .. and it's usually been one at a time .. but i did a handful in the alley with the shadowman's voice .. not that it helped .. with him i mean .. uhh .. ' *rubbing the sleep from the eyes and then the mind clicks more into focus as survival mode kicks in* *putting her hand into the pouch at her side she comments more to herself 'kinda glad i bought more marbles ... ' *then athe electricty that was running and sparking off the body vanishes as she concentrates on the ammo in hand .. and then slips her hand out the window and tosses the handful into the air so that they fall to the road behind and to the side of them, popping like firecrackers and sparks showering across the sindshields behind them 'that help? .. ' *as the hand reaches for another small handful. [tag] [[OOC - the first handful contained about 7 marbles doing up to 3d6 dam each to the road - oopsie ..  ]] |

" Yes, that's what I want." Ashley snapped again. " He needs your help more than the rest of us and you know what he can do better than anyone.
The patrolcar backed off a bit as the explosion ripped up a new pothole. Tyler smirked as he turned on his signal for a left turn. "That'll work. When I turn, do it again when I gun the engine. Hopefully this works." He began to turn and tramped the accelerator. " Now!"
You're not babbling. Michael smiled lightly Yeah, most of us have been on one side or the other, but that's the way it seems to be down here. Either you work for the government or you join a gang. When Ty got Felicia to quit the Brethren and come with him, that's what started their whole feud. Been going at each other for a couple years now. Ty just picked up the others as they came along before someone else could.

"It's OK." William says, in response, still in his calm tones. "I'm not the enemy. And I am glad to see you're at least trying for the leadership role." William starts looking for a good solid high branch, to tie Trevor to, later that night. "Say, would there be any rope here?"

when Eric gets Trevor to the house he sits him down on the couch. "So I guess we'll just chillax till Ty gets back then?" Eric sits down on a chair across from him and stares at him for a minute. "I still don't get why you didn't defend yourself agaist a giant mutant bear with energy claws protuding from it's hands. Even running would have been a good option in my opinion. Also why do you reframe from using your powers so much?" Eric questions him hoping to get an insight to his mind... and keep him conscious.

Alice echoes Michael's thought "Picked up the others before someone else could" A picture appears in her head of all of them on a shelf like collector's items and Tyler dusting them all off. She falls quiet as she wonders if she would have ended up with the government or in a gang if she had stayed on her own, keeping her secret as best she could. Alice clutches the first aid kit a little tighter and keeps walking silently.

*acting on the instructions of when to drop the next handful of marbles, leans partly out the window and tosses them up and over the back of the suburban to the road behind them. the loud explosion and the tossed up mini debris obscures the sight for a while as Ty continues to put more distance between the cops and them.
'i can follow on the skates, if you think it would be good. i can cause them to .. well give up the idea. i won't be that far behind .. ' *then the minor crackle of energy on her back distracts her, and the hand reaching for some more marbles, slides between the door and the seat, driving her chin into the window casing of the vehicle and a muffled yelp of pain is heard as she struggles to get back up again.
'ooooo ... i ... bidmton ...' *as she swallows the pain and the metallic taste of blood.

Ty laughed in the mirror as his idea wrked and Maria's debris took out the cop's tires. " Nice shot. We should be in the..." He turned to her, realizing what she'd said. " Are you okay? " He asked as one siren disappeared behind them but another started to wail ahead somewheres." go figure. " He pulled into an alley. " Just not my week. "
" I'll be fine, and I thought Ash would catch herself. " Trevor admited. " And I hate what I am, so how can I embrace it? Especially when all it ever does is hurt people?" He answered Eric with his own question.
" There shoulde be some in the generator shed." Ashley replied. " Why?"
Michaels voice doesn't pop into her head anymore until they reach the lodge, spotting Ash and will outside. So what can you do? I can mess with machines, or make them work. Kinda why the Brethren called me Gremlin. Plus my lovely green skin might have helped He smiled slightly.

William smiles at Ahsley, then turns towards the generator house. "Because you asked me to help him, and I need rope to do that." He smirks. "And don't bother warning him, he'll sleep eventually, and I don't need to."
A few steps away, he stops, and turns to her. "You can head inside, but leadership is about pragmatism. Care to learn more?"
