«We Could be Heroes»

Zen saw Tayn slowly walking away with Leona, he zipped up to her, "Hey I'll go with you guys."
"sure." she said smiling relieved she wasn't going all alone. "I kind of wish we didn't have to split up again, but I guess it can't really be helped."
 
(if you want him to. I had her leaving as open ended as possible so anybody could join her if they wanted. I really have no clue what to expect with Sam. @Fanci Feathers Marans , would a quick drop off work or should i actually write her going there? do you have something planned or would a: She dropped the kid off at the pizza place suffice?)
(Yeah, sure. You could chuck her there for all I care.)
 
He sent a shrug-like idea, though without moving. It's fine. That's the usual reaction to telepathy, but if it's any consolation, I can only hear your active thoughts. No memories. Then he visibly moved. Chase is here? He seemed to think for a moment. What does he want?

Mikki glanced up for a fleeting second, then down again. Yeah, he is. Well, he showed me to the edge of the clearing with all the bubbles. I had the impression that he was going to go back into the jungle after I entered the Silence, but I'm not sure. What do you mean by "what does he want?"
 
"Yup. Well til earlier today we both kinda thought the other was dead." Thomas said "Not to surprised she didn`t mention me."
"Oh," Crow said, giving him a sideways look. He was going to have to ask about that, later.
Jayne paused before saying anything but couldn't think of anything tactful to say. "I joined Firestein's forces because I don't like finding the people I care about lying dead in the street. Maybe that's just me." he said bitterly breaking eye contact to stare at the ground.
Crow smirked bitterly. You aren't the only one that's lost family to inhumans. He thought, feeling the familiar sorrow that came with thoughts of his parents. He quickly pushed the memories away, back into the corner of his mind. River was saying something.
"No-one likes that.. I didn`t at least. But you really think this," River motioned to the battle field "Will fix that? Only the very one who killed is responsible. Now don`t get fussy either and say I`m just being a 'inhuman', I like to know people I`m with. No reason to let them around if their untrust able." She paused "So give me a reason."

"If the inhuman who did it could be found sure. I would agree. But there's no way to find them. I don't think that all inhumans should be killed. But I also don't think that you (you people) should be able to do what ever you want with no consequences, just because no one can stop you." He shrugged again. "You can trust me if you want to. Or not. Doesn't really matter."

"Then if you can`t find them- then don`t do anything. But if that was the case that your gonna punish us, why shouldn`t we punish you? We can do to you, what you do to us. I only saw one side taking revenge today. And only one side who started the attack on innocent people. That was you. Forget this, I know of you enough now." River said. That man sickens me. She thought disgustedly.

Tayn stared at the two arguing her whole body tense. River had told her to stop arguing and just trust a random guy that was working for Firestein(Thomas). Now she seemed to be trying to pick a fight. She stood up angry, stepped over to River and slapped her across the face.

River was about to say something snappy at tayn but stopped. Embarrassment rushed threw her and she dipped her head "Sorry Tayn. Looks like I need to practice what I teach."

River wrapped her arms around her "I think we should. Well Firestein knows where most of us live, and my house is burnt down, so how does Coffey sound?"
"Coffee sounds good," Crow interjected, unconsciously rubbing his shoulder.
He heaved a sigh. "No. All of it is my fault. I got you into this. I brought you all to the tenement building. Then I fly off when you need me most?" He held up his hands, "I haven't even a scratch."

Gage's voice cracked, "Best idea I've heard all day."

(Skip to Starbucks)



River sat down beside Tayn with her Vanilla Bean Mocha. Happy not to say any thing
~
Thomas awkwardly sat down beside crow, not quite knowing what to do, other than get a hot chocolate.
Thomas awkwardly glanced over at him
Crow contentedly sipped a hot latte, watching Thomas awkwardly sit down next to him.

Jayne wasn't sure why he followed them here, maybe out of pure curiosity they were quite a strange bunch. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat waiting at the same table as the inhumans watching them.

Tayn slouched in her seat hugging her black coffee to her chest somehow it made her feel better. She was exhausted and hungry and some how the coffee made her feel like she was at home snuggled in bed. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

Tayns eyes closed and she slowly lowered her coffee mug to sit on her knee. Her mind wandered, why had she joined this group to begin with? To be a hero? Were they heroes? Were they saving people? Some how she had managed to run in to her sister because of joining this group so it wasn't all a lost cause. But where was Ash now? The last time she had seen her was here at this coffee shop. Would they ever see each other again? She opened her eyes blinking at Jayne. Maybe he would know where they were. Or maybe Thomas? She trusted him more than Jayne but would he actually know? Tayn looked at Leona they had promised to try to rescue her mom. They would have to do that first or split up again. Was she up to doing that? Another dangerous mission with little or no information. Thomas said she was either in town or on an airplane halfway across the pacific.
"We should look for that pizza guy Janet mentioned, he'll be able to take care of Leona." She realized after she said it that maybe she shouldn't have said it in front of Jayne, but it was too late it was already said and she was too tired to stress about it.

Gage traced his finger around the rim of the mug and nodded. He didn't feel like he had any authority anymore, or that he should be given any respect. They had all laid their lives in the line in a freaking war, and where had he been? In bed.
He cleared his throat, voice barely above a whisper. "17 West Point street. They guy's name is Sam, he works in the back." He said, not looking up from his cup. "We also need to send another group to Firestein's place. Maybe ask the inhumans from the battle if they're willing to come along." Then he shrugged, "If that's alright with you guys."

"Sounds good to me. A smaller group goes to the dude- Sam- and the rest of us go to Firestein`s hide-out. Perhaps only one or two people go to this Sam guy. Gage- everyone else would that be do-able?" River said. She saw no reason he should be moping around- she had just fought and he was safe and sound. Why is he in such a mess? He was the leader here- he needed to suck it up.

(Sorry, haven't been on in a while!)
"Um, nah, not really. I think getting stuck in a tree makes you lose your appetite," she joked. Aaand I don't want to get poisoned. There's nothing wrong with being extra careful. She looked down, realizing that she was staring. So that's Gabriel, she thought, I need to find way to talk to him.

Gabriel continued to stare. You wish to speak with me? Came a voice into Mikki's head.

Whaaat. On. Earth?! Wait a minute. Mikki's head snapped up and she stared at Gabriel with wide eyes. You're a telepath?
Sammy's gaze flickered over to Mikki as she abruptly snapped her head up. Hmm? Did he say something? I don't think he said something.

It must have been odd to hear a laugh and not see the face remain stoney, They have no idea I'm inhuman. Gabriel thought. They don't usually hire them for the job, but apparently telepathy passes under the radar... How did you know my name?

(Mmk ty! *hugs*)


(otay :D)

Grant slowly walks into Starbucks, his entire being aches as he thinks of the tortures Misty is probably enduring. He notices the whole gang at a table and walks over without a word, with his eyes cold and his heart hard he sits down and listens to the conversation.
Crow shot a questioning glance at Grant, but he wasn't looking.
Wow, so he's like, undercover, she thought, then realized that he must have heard that. This is SO embarrassing! Aaand he heard that too. Ack! Just stop- She took a deep breath. Well, I met Chase in the woods. He helped me get out of that tree. Mikki thought, looking away from Gabriel and hoping the others hadn't noticed her reaction.

Jayne stared at the new comer. Another obvious inhuman. Though this one had a darkness that the rest of the group seemed to be lacking. He realized that that was why he had stuck around, this group of inhumans wasn't at all what he was expecting. The majority of them seemed to just be kids. With the exception of the half-wyvern, and now this guy who though he was young certainly gave the impression he wouldn't have a problem killing someone. He shifted in his chair, was no one going to acknowledge this guy? The so called leader was silently staring into his mug. exasperated by the silence Jayne spoke up.
"Hey there." He said to the wolf-man. Jayne looked over at River. "Is this guy your brother too?" He asked sarcastically.

Grant nods at Jayne but doesn't say a word


"Shes gone, probably on the edge of death right now." He grits his teeth "because of that" He curses "Maru"

Tayn nodded before leaving

Jayne chuckeled to himself for her reaction. And then grew more serious again listening to the conversation. "Who is Maru?" He asked.

Jayne shrugged at him, apparently Maru wasn't a friend. "I'm going to get more coffee." he sighed and got up. He considered sending a message with his phone, but decided he would stick around for a while more. For now these kids didn't seem that dangerous.

He sent a shrug-like idea, though without moving. It's fine. That's the usual reaction to telepathy, but if it's any consolation, I can only hear your active thoughts. No memories. Then he visibly moved. Chase is here? He seemed to think for a moment. What does he want?

Gage's finger, which had been tracing the perimeter of his cup, froze. The feathers on his wings prickled slightly. Flashbacks of the snakeman, his motorcycle crash, and the blood... then Misty's face, the flight in the thunderstorm, the sound of her voice softly singing Amazing Grace.
Grant had been gone for several hours, looking for her no doubt. He should have helped... but then, he should have fought in the war, too. Or maybe taking Leona to the pizza guy? There were so many things he needed to do that he just felt like giving up. Yet he couldn't.
"How far did you track her?"
Crow was listening intently. This just keeps getting worse. "So, this Maru dude... Where do you think he'd bring her? I could fly around... And..." His voice faltered. He knew that the chances of finding her were slim, especially since Grant hadn't had any luck.
Mikki glanced up for a fleeting second, then down again. Yeah, he is. Well, he showed me to the edge of the clearing with all the bubbles. I had the impression that he was going to go back into the jungle after I entered the Silence, but I'm not sure. What do you mean by "what does he want?"
"I think he must've endured a troubled childhood," Ash indiscreetly hissed to Sammy.
Sammy picked up one of Ash's dropped pens and scribbled a chicken onto a napkin. "What? Oh." She said, not paying much attention. She was thinking about Firestein and the bubbles. What does Firestein want from us? Is he going to put us in the bubbles? Humph, I'd like to see him try... But then again... What if No-Name has some sort of mega-un-inhuman-weapon? She stared accusingly at her doughnut. I wish I could read minds. Then I could tell when- if No-Name's planning to capture us... And why that guy is staring so intensely at Mikki...
