«We Could be Heroes»

Aubrey followed, the Rooster strutting after.

Dryden finally found them and started walking next to Aubrey and her pitiful chickens, that he hated. "So, where's no-name?"
Sammy whipped around, her right hand tight on her knife and her left hand starting to form a ball of fire. She instantly recognized Aubrey, and started to relax, then she saw Dryden. Her hand tightened even more on the knife and the fire in her hand grew hotter. "How-how did you get here?" she asked, her whole body tense. She was absolutely sure now that No-name and Dryden were bringing her and the rest of the group to a trap. And to make it worse, her phone was out of batteries. That meant she couldn't contact Gage, though he wouldn't be able to help, being in America.
 
Ash finally finished untangling her shawl from a particularly unsavory patch of brambles. She quickly rearranged her mangled braid, but quickly realized how- A. useless fixing her hair was in a situation such as this, and B. when they hay had she ever cared about etiquette in the first place.
Grumbling under her breath, she limped after Sammy, but still made sure to maintain a safe distance from Dryden. In spite of herself, a slow grin spread across her face as she realized a good breeze was kicking up.
She kept to keeping the trees as her shields from the other's view as she crept silently along in their wake, her enhanced senses automatically attuned for the slightest disturbance.
No being in their right mind would trust him.
(I'm going to assume that since she's hiding from Dryden, Sammy and Aubrey can't see her either.)

"Combination of super hearing, and a simple map. Track the plane then track you guys from there. Simple." Dryden said as he pulled his phone out and looked at the time.

Sammy put out the fire, though her hand still clutched the knife. "You have superspeed too, don't you." she said, making it more of a statement than a question. "Where did you go?"

"Mhm. I was capturing..someone..for Firestein." When he said someone, you could see an ounce of pain in his eyes. Longing, to be with his whole family again.

"Capturing s-someone?... I didn't know Firestein had that many enemies." she stammered, attempting to sound casual. She sheathed her knife to make it appear like she wasn't suspicious of him at all.

The Rooster stared at him. Aubrey had a red orb, which was the forming of her chickens. She straightened her tights.
"Everyone has enemies, some have more than others. Firesteing happens to be enemies with most people in the world." He said, putting his iPhone back in his pocket. His screen saver flashed on the screen, visible to the girl, as he recieved a text. It was a picture of him and Charlotte, and Barnes, Charlotte 13 at the time and he was 14. He was smiling and so was Char and Barnes, and they were standing in front of a ferris wheel. Their mom was with them as well, standing next to Barnes. Anyone could tell it was his family. He saw it and his eyes widened and he quickly jammed the phone in his back pocket.

(I thought Barnes made him bionic, but isn't his biological father?)

Sammy glanced at the screen. She had never seen Char or Barnes before, so it didn't strike her as unusual. "Oh," she said, wondering what to ask so she didn't sound suspicious. "So.... what's this mission about?"
