«We Could be Heroes»

Gage felt his head grow hot as fear grew on the boy's face, and he knit his brows, not with fear anymore. He was done being afraid. Something else creeped into him, and it felt like his heart was slowly cracking. This was exactly what he didn't want. He could almost read the boy's face. This was his house, and they were the Intruders. Blood-soaked, war-hardened monsters. Not heroes.
Then the light flicked on, and na distant shout echoed into the room, followed by a mechanical hum as the room came to life again. More footsteps came.

Rex raised his gun, and slowly spun in a circle looking for where the voices came from. He counted the footsteps, noting how many there was. He looked at Gage. Something seemed off about him, Rex just couldn't figure out what.
 
The Nameless one let out a cry, and before Chase could spin around, she plowed into him. Instinctively, he grabbed her right arm as they went down, pinning her beneath him and peeled her pencil thin fingers from the gun.

Ruby scrambled up from the ground, taking up an attack stance in between the tussling duo and the other two people. She wasn't sure if they would help no-name, but she couldn't be to careful. She let out a low hiss, not moving.
Sammy stood still, frozen to the spot. Here was the chance that she had been waiting for. Here was the chance to be a hero. No-name had been caught off-guard. Dryden didn't seem to be paying attention. But still, she hesitated. Dryden was right there, and he would soon realize that he had to help his comrade. No-name would surely get over her shock and transform into some creature that Chase couldn't hold down... And then all three of them would be captured, or worse. In her indecision, Sammy automatically lit two fires above her hands.

Misty calmly grips her swords handle, there was a kid looking at them, the lights flickered on and a shout echoed through the rooms. This is it, we prepare for war..
 
"Hide? Why would I need to hide?" Came a voice, quiet and breathy, like one who had just woken up. Shoes clopped around the corner, and there he was. Somehow... friendlier than Gage remembered him. Perhaps all the talk of him had skewed his memory....
Firestein bent over and with a grunt, picked up the boy, "Can I get you anything? Coffee? Tea?" He smiled.

River jumped forward "Do not mock us! We are not fools... unlike you! Where are our friends, and what have you done with the others?" Her eyes slid to the boy "Perhaps the boy should leave."

Misty's mind begins to fill with confusion, Thats him? thats Firestein? He looks so friendly... Misty lashes her tail, as River jumps forward and calls him out, Hes playing with us she thinks she unsheathes her sword a little, "Maybe you should be direct with us and not use a child as a shield, I dont like liars, or manipulators" Even though I am one she adds in her head.
 
No-name let out a cry as Chase landed an elbow in her ribs, and her vice on the gun faltered. At once, the man wrenched it out if her hand and turned it on her.

The shifter's eyes grew wide, and her smile became crooked. She shrank back, and kept shrinking. Her clothes puddled around her, and she stared up at them, starry-eyed. "No." Said Noel.

Rex pointed his gun at Firestein, and glanced at the others. This old man is Firestein? Wow, he looks way to friendly. Looks can be deceiving I guess. Rex thought.
