Bleddyn gave a resigned eye roll when he used her nickname again. "You're not going to stop calling me Dyn, are you?"
She unenthusiastically brandished a fist before letting her hand lifelessly drop back to the countertop. "And, yes, I would've, so don't think for a moment that you're in the clear."
"Nope." Wolfram shook his head, forcing a grin. "Just don't punch me right now, my face is bruised enough already." He muttered. He glanced down at his arm, though the bleeding had stopped, the blood that had dripped down his arm was drying, sending a shudder of horror down his spine as it coated one of the larger scars on his arm. "I'm gonna...uh...I should just...go..."
 
River pushed her ears forward at the unmistakable infuriated snarl of her best friend, Ash, her own stomach twisting violently as her eyes fell on the younger woman, quickly reaching her arm up to wipe away rebel tears that had formed in the corners of her eyes, threatening to drop and reveal her cracked emotions to the fearful others. She ground her fists into her eyes, before dropping them after a few moments, staring into space dumbly until the black spots that had cluttered her vision receded. What am I suppose to say?
She finally pulled herself away from the wall, however much she wished to simply evaporate into a shadow. "I'm here, Ash." She muttered, drawing herself up to her full height of a intimidating six feet and one inch. "Before you start bumbling over your words, don't freak out, and please, one question at a time, I hardly know what's going on as it is."
"Are you sure it's me doing the bumbling, River?" Ash's voice was eerily sweet, almost sickening, in contrast to River's pained monotone. Despite being shorter and weaker and well aware of it, her friend's superiority did absolutely nothing to subdue the riled mother.

The only thing scaring her was the abnormal unease etched across River's face, but Ash made herself evade the dreadful contagion for the moment.

"Because I'm pretty sure I heard you say my daughter was fine, when, in reality, she'd just been abducted and you had no way of even knowing if she was alive."
Her eyes narrowed significantly then and her arms crossed stiffly across her chest.
"I don't know about you, but that seems like a pretty big bumble to me."
 
"Nope." Wolfram shook his head, forcing a grin. "Just don't punch me right now, my face is bruised enough already." He muttered. He glanced down at his arm, though the bleeding had stopped, the blood that had dripped down his arm was drying, sending a shudder of horror down his spine as it coated one of the larger scars on his arm. "I'm gonna...uh...I should just...go..."
Bleddyn bit down on her lip; then, against her better judgement, reached out for his arm before he could escape from the kitchen. "Hey, Wolf...wait."
 
Jessi looked up from where she was trying to convince Toby to stay. She saw Fritz come in, and waved. Toby took that moment to sneak past her, but she grabbed the back of his shirt before he could go anywhere.
Fritz walked over to where Toby and Jessi were standing. "Hey, what's going on here?", Fritz questioned.
 
Fritz walked over to where Toby and Jessi were standing. "Hey, what's going on here?", Fritz questioned.

Jessi sighed. "Everyone is fighting, and also trying to make a plan. Toby has it in his head he's going to steal the poison and throw it to space." She said.
"It could work." Toby grumbled.
 
Wolfram blinked, making no move to get away. "What is it?" He asked quietly, forcing himself to meet her eyes.
"Since you're so determined to get away with calling me something that's exclusive to my friends, guess you've gotta be my friend."
Bleddyn put some serious effort into somehow remaining simultaneously nonconfrontational and nonchalant as possible while blurting all of this out.
I hate you, whatever part of me that's having me say this.
"Plus, you know, I guess we're gonna be seeing a lot of each other whether we like it or not, so....whaddya say?"
 
Jessi sighed. "Everyone is fighting, and also trying to make a plan. Toby has it in his head he's going to steal the poison and throw it to space." She said.
"It could work." Toby grumbled.
Fritz blinked, a puzzled look coming across his face.
"...space?", Fritz asked, "why not something terrestrial, like a volcano or something?"
 
Sniffing the air, (he's got super-scent now deal with it) Fritz smelled the familiar scent of the Italian delicacy of pizza.
He sprinted out of the house, and dashed down the street till he finally got to where everyone was gathered and crashed through the wall.

Brisa glanced up from her spot next to Misty as the boy with the dog from earlier burst in and began helping himself to the pizza, seemingly unaware of the mayhem surrounding him. What was his name again? She knew it started with an F. Freddie? Felix? Fabian? She shook her head slightly. Where did that come from? She watched him as he headed over to where Toby and Jessi were arguing and said something she couldn’t make out. What’s different about him? She wondered. Curious, she activated her thermal vision. Oh, he must have fire powers. She thought, blinking away the red glow coming off of him as she returned to her usual vision. She always liked meeting people like that because their body temperature was higher than normal.

"Of course I'd like to be your friend, even if you punched me once or twice, or like...thirty times...." Wolfram forced a smile, no matter how haunting the blood coated scar was. "I won't complain about seeing you more often then not."
