«We Could be Heroes»

Janet watched their faces, then glanced back to the man in skins. He had his arms folded and a smirk on his face. The look on their faces were priceless. Janet put her arm out, "Welcome to Atlantis." She said.

Leona piped up, "But it's not really Atlantis, because that's underwater."

She grinned scooped up the girl, "How do you know so much?" Janet said, pressing their noses together. Then she directed them to a trail of cobbelstone steps, "Answers at the bottom." .

Tayn smiled at the two, I guess she really is Janet's daughter. she thought, some how seeing them made her feel calm. **Storm lessens outside the cave**
 
"Uh, dad, who are you talking to?" she asked, thinking back to when Dryden used to do that. "And what ever happened to Dryden? Finally go off to college?" she asked smiling.
Climbing up toward the top of the helicopter, he paused, gazing off into the distance for a moment. He seemed to shake off whatever it was, and opened the hatch next to the propellers, uncovering the dusty engine. "He, uh... he went off, yeah."

"When did you see him last?" she asked, curious but also wanting to see her older brother again.
 
Tayn started slowly down the stairs she couldn't seem to help staring at the hidden city as she went. and she didn't want to fall, it was a long way down.
 
"Well excuse me, I tend not to pay attention or be there when instructions are given." Dryden said, rolling his eyes at her glare.
She clenched her jaw, then shrugged. "Waltershobchakeit. I guess you'll learn with the rest of them." She said, finally addressing the rest of the group. She jerked a thumb at the cyborg boy, "That's Dryden. And I'm No-name." She locked each new initiate with an icy stare, as if daring one of them to ask about it. "We'll be riding this subway to the Southwestern U.S. border, then boarding a plane bound for an island off of New Zealand. There, you will have to be given warmer clothes, since you obviously came unprepared," she said, eyeing each up and down. Not one had more than the clothes on their backs, the weapons that James had bestowed upon them, and maybe a pretzel.
 
"When did you see him last?" she asked, curious but also wanting to see her older brother again.
A cloud of dust issued from the engine as he blew on it. Coughing, he replied, "About-" cough, "Three months ago." Cough, cough. He waved a hand in front of his face, then drew a socket wrench out of his pocket, "He had been slipping out at night, and I confronted him about it. So he took off and... I haven't seen him since."
