(Just a little make up post ;))
Farren stepped out of the building as she excused herself. She fished out her phone which had been going off during the meeting and answered it "Hello..?" "Hello? Yeah.. it's me.. It's about mom....." Farren's arm fell to the side, She held her phone tightly as her hands began to shake, Everything around her went silent and turned into a blur as tears build up in her pale purple eyes from trying to hold them back. Farren held her hand against her mouth and clenched her teeth. Farren Took out her umbrella swiftly and began to run towards the hospital.
(Skip to when she gets there)
Farren stood outside the hospital entrance. And with all her strength she pushed the doors open stepping into the busy building. Two people, A tall man with short dark hair, Pale skin, and light blue eyes stood with his arms crossed and the other person, A younger girl.. Maybe 14, With long blond hair and a beautiful pair of purple-ish violet eyes stood. She looked tired and blue. Farren ran up to the two and threw her arms around the girl pulling her in to rest her chin on her head.. She looked up at the tall man and hesitantly asked "Is she...?" "No, not yet" He cut her off as he looked away from her. Farren frowned at her brother, Martin, and pulled away from her younger sister, Ava, and rested her hands on her shoulders "Are you going to be ok coming with us?" She asked, Ava looked down and murmured a faint yes, her voice was raspy and quiet, As if it hurt her to talk. Farren placed her arm on Ava's shoulder and followed her brother towards an elevator and entered it. When they stepped out of the elevator and into the hall Farren felt as though a weight sat at the bottom of her stomach. Slowly, The three approached one of the doors in the hallway and opened it. In that room laid a woman with dark hair, pale skin, and dull, pale purple eyes same as Farren's that quickly fixed on her. The woman motioned to them to come over and as they did she spoke out in a soft yet frail voice. "Its so nice to see all three of you together again..." She trailed off looking at Farren's twisted wing and sighed. She reached out with a shaky hand and ruffled Ava's hair smiling "You've gotten so tall last time I saw you!" She forced out a chuckle and blinked at her. She then looked up at Martin with a more serious expression "You take good care of your sister." Martin weakly smiled and nodded. "Oh Farren.. " She turned looking straight at her "I regret not being there when you needed me the most.. " She breathed out as she looked at Farren's burnt wings "It's alright mom, You've been the best mother anyone could of asked for." Farren couldn't even hear her own words.. She was too focused on her mother. Hours had past while the three stayed at their mother's side until visiting hours were over. Farren walked out of the building and sighed. She turned to face her siblings and reached for her apartment keys "Once she's gone you wont have a place to stay at.. You can stay at my place until you find another apartment you can afford... I need to go somewhere first.." Martin took the keys from Farren's hand and took Ava back to her place without a word. Farren couldn't help but feel alone.. Like everyone she knew had disappeared.

Farren rushed down the streets and quickly joined the group of 'heroes' noticing some new girl but decided to stay quiet. Making up some excuse about what she was doing she followed the group to the cave. (Skip a couple hours later)

"Farren." He lifted a parasol from the wall and pulled the handle, revealing the katana hidden in the staff. "I know it can't replace your old one, but it will keep you safe."
Farren grabbed the handle of the katana and tested out it's weight.. It feels light.. She thought as she spun it backwards then forwards cracking a smile. She looked up at the man and thanked him as sheathed the sword.

Crow wasn't paying attention to the fact that Barnes had just given Char a magical-horse-killing-toy. He was entirely focussed on what he said about Firestein. And the resistance. "That doesn't answer the question of why you didn't tell us beforehand," he said, thinking out loud. "But... if what you're saying is true... this means our friends are in danger." he said, finally realizing how much danger they were truly in. This is bad. Really bad.

Tayn followed everyone silently trying to decide what she was going to believe. There was more going on than she felt she could follow.

eventually she decided that Barnes, while he couldn't be called good, Wasn't necessarily bad. The main thing she was still wondering about was the original Noel. if the real Noel... Leona had been here, then who was the noel they had rescued. Was that the shapeshifter? had firestein planted her there to find out who they were so he could find them? strangely it hadn't occurred to any of them that they might not want to be known for being inhuman by the general population.



Tayn looked over at crow, "There was a shapeshifter at the police station that interrogated everybody. It's possible he didn't want to say anything because he couldn't be sure that we weren't working for Firestein."

(sorry the wordies are not with me tonight. feeling guilty that I giggled at my 6 yo thinking he was fine. :he .... He cried/screamed less than he does for someone changing the show he's watching. He broke his collarbone...)

"I, um... don't know how to say this." Barnes said, turning to the black-haired boy. "We had an agent, the man you met in that old building? He went by Noble. Good man, always had been. But just recently, he..." he glanced over at Janet, who was still preoccupied with Leona's slow divulging of information. "He went AWOL." He whispered. "He took Leona and hid her in there. We weren't sure what to do. I didn't want to tell Janet- he loved that kid, believe me, you wouldn't think he'd hurt anyone. But when he did that... he wouldn't let any of us near him, so I needed a distraction..."
 
(everyone with James and the fancy weapons, is in the subway at a pretzel stand. every one with gage, noel and Barnes is in a cave. ) :highfive:
