(Okay, well my char is sawing logs, so I'll just narrate)

The train rumbled over the rail, buildings and cities blurring by as the group sat in awkward silence. No one seemed to know quite what to say. Or whether they had made the right choice. But at long last, the train pulled to a stop at an intercity airport in southern California. Palm trees, houses on stilts, and people bundled up, despite the seventy degree weather.

No-name got off the train and stretched, revealing a too-thin waistline under her flight jacket. She glanced to the group and motioned for them to follow as she made her way over the runway toward a small, jet-black propeller plane.

Her heels clacked on the concrete as they neared the chain-link fence. The man at the gate glared at them. "Can I see some I.D.?" He growled. No-name glanced to Dryden.

"Just a little now, monster." She warned.

Sammy looked at No-name, suddenly feeling very suspicious. Did she just tell him to kill that guy? she thought. A small voice in the back of her mind told her that something was wrong with this mission, but she pushed it away.

"Janet and Barnes probably told you about the Sound of Silence, yes?"

"They did." she answered. "I take it that's why so many are here?"

( night! gotta chase the kids to bed. )

"Scared? Really? Mmk then" Misty eyes the homeless man whos name is Tom "yeah im fine why would you ask that?" Grant sighs behind Misty When will we be able to go back home? Grant mutters a curse By now Maru probably killed everyone in the village and burned it to the ground I need to get back home get Misty back home...

Tom eyed the two wolven people, "These two probably already know this, I feel. But sometimes you don't know what's right or wrong." He said, "sometimes it's just you or them."

Gage blinked. That sounded like a war-type thing. "Oh." He said, then went out on a limb, "World War III?"

The man nodded, head low.

He scratched the back of his neck. Was a crying shame that so many veterans didnt have homes when they came back from war. He decided not to mention it. The man had spoken of his pride already, he thought, glancing to the tattered clothes and scraggly beard, better not say anything to imply his... condition. "They want to lock us up. The inhumans, I mean. They said we would snuff out the originals."

(Assume he already did the deed because RHR isn't on right now.)
No-name clicked through the gate, boarded the propeller plane, and started flipping switches and pressing buttons. The engine revved to life.

"They did." she answered. "I take it that's why so many are here?"

"Mostly." He said, glancing up to a woman waving at him from the seventh floor of a pillar. "But we only hide while we train. We are the resistance. An albit old-fashioned one, but come a war, we will be the ones to fight it." He said, then stopped at the base of a stone pillar. The door was oaken, and finely smithed handel, a pull rather than a knob.

"Mm yeah i agree" Misty nods at Tom "Gage we need to go back to the others I have a sense something bad is going to happen" Grant suddenly feels a dark presence, he whips around he sees a dark figure turning a corner out of view. Grants heart starts to drum adrenaline fills his veins, I know that presence anywhere He thinks panic fills his entire body Maru is in this dimension.

A chill runs up Misty's spine she senses dark power, Misty turns stiff and slowly looks at Grant, his eyes as wide as hers. She grabs Gage's and Tom's arm, "we need to get out of here" she says in a hushed voice "Or hes going to kill everyone here to get to us" Misty starts to shake in fear.

"Just a little now, monster." She warned.

"Hmm?" Dryden asked, despite having the intelligence, he was a bit confused.

 

[Fanci Feathers Marans]

"Well, that's not American." Tom said, lowering his brow, "But lock 'em up? That's nearly impossible. Why wouldn't they just kill them? All the prison cells put together wouldn't be enough."

"Mm yeah i agree" Misty nods at Tom "Gage we need to go back to the others I have a sense something bad is going to happen" Grant suddenly feels a dark presence, he whips around he sees a dark figure turning a corner out of view.

Gage nodded. He had procrastinated long enough. "We need to check the police station, just to see if they're there. Like Tom said, I don't know what's right, but we need to stick together."
