«We Could be Heroes»

(Catching up on stoof.)

Janet squeezed Leona's hand as she rushed outside. While she was thankful to have her daughter back- the real one- she couldn't help but wonder where she had really been. If she hadn't been with flyboy and the rest, who had had her?
Gage followed behind, down the steps and hurried out onto the sidewalk. If he hadn't been confused before, he was now. Wasn't this woman supposed to help straighten things out? Alleviate some of the confusion? Be the all-knowing helpful stranger like the book characters get? Yet here she was, a deep frown on her face, and a worry between her brows.
 
James's head bobbed through the sea of humans. A doughy, cheesy smell drifted on the air from the stand of freshly made pretzels. More graffiti lined the walls in a burst of color among the industrialized subway goers. The train had come to a complete stop, now, and the doors slid open. A cheery woman's voice greeted the passengers over the intercom. The swarm of people began to deplete as they osmosis'd onboard.
But the man didn't seem interested in boarding. Instead, he made his way to the graffitied wall and the pretzel stand.
"Lovely morning, isn't it, sir?" Said the woman at the register.
"Yes, but I was carrying an umbrella." Firestein said.

Tayn had to remind herself to try to stay calm and collected the last thing they needed was to be trudging through a storm. She tried to piece together what had happened. She was sure noel had real cuts and bruises and now they were just gone? Her mom was taking them some where "safe". She said that this was her daughter. Had someone come to the house while she was out and healed noel and changed her memories, or maybe janet was one of the bad guys and she knew that noel was just a shapeshifter. And they were both in on it. Waiting for someone to get nervous and then lead them to the trap that they were trying to avoid. Black clouds begain to gather overhead, Tayn closed her eyes and tried to ignore her frantic thoughts.
"At city hall, you said that 'they' were not what they seemed." She said to leonas mom "what did you mean?"
