* Sierra pauses briefly outside her room, and then she's inside it and the door closes. setting the briefcase on the bed and the pack in the closet, she starts getting out of the clothing. large patches and shreds of skin start to settle to the floor
' oh jeez, even I'M grossed out by this. well ... i better get what i can off then ... ick ' *the uniform comes off as far as the waist and then one of the large silk scarves she uses for juggling is tied about the neck to cover the front, in case someone comes in unannounced. then without thinking, angles enough to twist the arms to start working together to pick at the white chunks and pulls.

[ unless called for, Sierra will remain busy trying to get herself 'clear' of the peeling and then smooth on some homemade lotion ]

Alice's smile fades and her expression becomes serious as she nods at Craig. "Yeah, that's true." she says quietly "Will probably won't have us dressing in anything too flashy, just something that shows people that we're a team." A small smile appears at his joke and she heads inside to the store to see what comics are available.

" Don't get too close, Is. those rocks won't hold her long." Tyler warned, pointing towards Ashley's flexing muscles.
" Did you honestly think you could prevent me from hurting anyone?" Ashley snarled, ignoring tyler. " did you think this was my blood?"
-----
Jason's reply over the intercomm was much darker than his first. " We got lucky the Brethren let us go. Otherwise you would have hasd to send out a recovery team. From what Sierra says, her boyfriend is living in downtown metaville."
No one disturbed Sierra as she peeled herself.
-----
" I'll keep that in mind, Craig, but I don't want to know how you found out." Trevor replied with a grin. " You know those suits they wear in the Xmen movies are cool, if a little boring. I snuck a peek, and sierra was doodling something like them only less goth looking. Thing we could get her to open up enough to get a good look at them?"

* Sierra finally gets a majority of hte peeling skin pulled and the lotion gets the rest to start to soften up for the next peeling session. then getting into her workout spandexy outfit. this is a rusty brown bleach splash effect and sneakers. She heads downstairs to get rid of her latest batch of peelings and then looks at Avi and asks simple 'permission to go practice on the beach? .. more room there for me, sir' *she is pointedly ignoring anyone else just now.

Alice shrugs "Maybe. She seems to not want to talk to very many people. We could try." Alice heads over to where the comics are and starts picking a few of the hero genre of comics to get some ideas.

"That would seem more appropriate," Craig says referring to the X-men movie outfits. "I'm thinking we need something practical. Armor-lined, but flexible so it doesn't restrict movement. And if we're going to hide our identities, then we'll probably want to avoid helmets. They tend to restrict vision. Perhaps kevlar lined cowls or something like that. I could ask her, but I don't think she's any more inclined to talk to me just because we're the new kids. Could be if we try to involve her more, she'll feel more like a part of the team."
Craig moves over to the 'Coming Soon' sign (if one's present) to see what titles are being advertised, hoping to spot one of the team comics that's being heavily advertised.

William appears in front of Jason. "You should be happy you didn't have to fight, instead of being so melodramatic. Here's the deal. Either, you learn to cope without the suit, or, you improve your skills with it." William grins. "Or, you can hate me, alienate everyone around you, including Alice, and waste away to nothing. Your choice."

" you don't need to ask permission, Sierra." Avi replied with a smile. He thumbed towards Jason. " Why don't you take him outside? "
" Buzz off, Avi. I can roll myself out." Jason replied, looking up at Will. " I can cope, but why should I? When I put that on, I can be a hundred times more productive to the team, or is that what your trying to point out? As long as I'm stuck in this chair, I'm a hindrance to this team? " He shook his head and started to roll around him towards the patio door. " That's the last card I expected you to play."
-----
Trevor listened to Craig and Alice, his attention on something else. He chuckles to himself as he picked up a copy of the World Weekly News and showed the cover to the others, a story about the 'Human Fireball Attacks Miami' with a picture of Will from a distance. " How do we sneak this up on the fridge?"

William grabs Jason's chair, and whips around, glowering. "This stops now, boy." He growls. "THe next outburst, and I take the chair away. And then your clothes. And then your room. Maybe when you have nothing, you'll learn to value yourself and better yourself." With another strong push, Jason finds himself facing the door. "Now get out of my sight."

"Ashley, What happened exactly? Whose blood is it then? I would have stopped you if I was there instead of that fools errand of Williams."

* Sierra states quietly 'but ... ' *then winces as Jason starts to sound nasty to Avi. coupled with the look of horror at the suggestion, which lasts about 3 seconds before her face is blank once again. Its the look of nothingness that crosses the face as William and Jason go at it, that sells the fact that while unnerved by the open hostility, she does not interfere in any way. * she slips outside before Jason, and gets to the sand before stopping and looking at the surf and then about the area. then like a child in the first toy store, she explores the sand with her booted feet and then with the hands. finally she stands up and sighs before turning to Jason. 'you know the movements of those that do .. cartwheels and things? .. i need your help. i need you to tell me if i wobble or do not go straight. to give the order of what to do. if you don't what to, that is fine, but i do need the guidance so i do not take a misstep. movements could be helpful in a fight ... right? .. ' *she stands there looking at him in his chair on the porch and then states simply and matter of fact tone of voice, 'look. you can hate me, you can want to kill me and you can tell me to go straight to **** if you want. trust me, the feeling is mutual. that isn't what is important. i gotta know i can trust you to have my back .. and vice versa, so if you can think past whatever bee got up your nose today and help great, otherwise sit there and don't bug me. that way i'll know you WON'T have my back when push comes to shove ... ' *she turns then and starts doing some slow back arches away from the deck [tag] [[ oops ... just realized ... she forgot to take the band aid thing off ... oh my goodness .. sorry jason, sierra the rest of the group that overheard that ...  ]] |

Jason looked as if it took everything he had to keep from saying something back to Will before he finally rolled out onto the deck. when sierra finished her rant, he looked at her like she had three heads. Finally, he nodded with a low, " You can trust me. I might be an ass, but I won't turn my back on a companion in need. I'll spot your exercises, but I have a favor to ask first." He took a gulp like what he was about to say was painful. " You can copy abilities, right? I'd like you to try to copy mine, and then run towards the watershore as fast as you can. " He half smiled, " I don't hate you, I don't know you enough for that yet."
Inside, Avi walked up to stand next to Will. " Boss, you must have a real gift. I've never seen him back down so quickly, even with Mac. You really think you can change him from one of the Agencies killing machines into a team player?"
-----
Ashley merely glared at Isamu, her shoulders writching against the grip of her prison. Suddenly her body began to contort until she was reverted to human form. Her eyes were dark and scared as she huddled inside the now loose fitting stone. " Ty, Is, you two need to get out of here now, before I lose it again."

"I will not leave you again. I can add to your encasement if need be, or wall you into the cave, but I will stay here."

"Unfortunately, only time will change him. He's already conpsiring to get his stuff back, talking to Sierra. If I take anything away from him." William says, calmly. "He has to come to me to get it back. He cannot send anyone to do it for him. I see anything I take missing that I didn't give back, I break it the next time, and then he can replace it on his own. That goes double for his precious suit. Make sure the house knows it." William waits, making sure Avery understands what William's saying.

* Sierra pauses half way over in a back bend, finishes and then walks back. 'alright .. don't really know how this works yet ... just thatits happened a couple of times .. can you think it? .. there's a lot of .. like ajumble of radios on .. isolate the station for me ... '
*her inability to copy instantly worries her, but she's willing to try. then slowly, its like some of the itching fades and there is one strong one and then opens the eyes and asks 'this isn't gonna turn me ugly or something ... is it?' *trying to see if jason is caught off guard enough to let the power slip unfocused from his mind. then IF the strong sense seems to fade with his look, will grin and say 'gotcha' ... then try running for the water that is about 120 feet or so away.
