«We Could Be Legends»

"I saw someone at the Multitude base... Who explained some things. While you and Lachlan were outside." River whispered, her body shuddering. "Pure have been around longer than us, in a way." She suddenly shot up, whirling around to face Wolfram.
"The Pure are a group of terrorist, formerly Firestein Soldiers. Firestein was a man who thought inhumans were a danger to everyone, crazy super-powered people with the ability to be the best murderers. When he was thirty, he started a group. Their purpose was to either kill or imprison inhumans in a prison made of... Something, I didn't see it. But he killed, a lot. When I was eighteen, I was sucked into a group that wanted to do good, help older ladies across the street and stuff like that. We got a commission or something, Gage was the one who received it. We ended up going to someone's apartment, and finding a girl, who was scared and hidden in an upstairs closet. One thing led to another and by the end we got in a fight with Firestein, and one of his own men killed him. His army dispersed with their leader dead, but the old friend I saw, Leona, said that some stuck together, idolizing his beliefs, and starting the Pure. The have the same goal as Firestein, but not to imprison. To kill. They... Made something, a poison. It is the key. It will destroy inhuman cells, and depending on what they are, they will live or die. Your mother, Silver, was sent to take it, apparently she did and she hide it." She said, her hand hand picking at her other hand in nervous fidgeting. "It adds up."

"Yes," Indigo said. "That's what I've been trying to tell you. The Multitude's goal is the same as that old group of heroes', the goal to help all people. It's just more personal for some than others."

Wolfram stared at River, his eyes narrowed as if in deep thought. "It makes sense!" He yelped suddenly. "Now I know why Mapleshade wants the key so bad!" He started pacing frantically, adding everything up. "You said the key is a poison. It destroys Inhuman cells, and that's what Mapleshade wants!" He looked up from the ground and looked at River. "She doesn't want to be inhuman. That's why she wants the key. If she gets it, she'll rid of her ears, and tail and claws and cat eyes, or, eye by now. And if I'm adding it up correctly...." He looked around the room for a minute. "Mapleshade will try and do anything to make sure the key kills us. Why, I don't know. But if I'm adding it up correctly, that's the Pure's plain. At least, I think it is."

River nodded, relieved that Wolfram hadn't argued with any of her words. "It will kill all centaurs, mer-people, and shapeshifters, and others like them." She threw a glance to where Lachlan and Finlay were calming a crying Camilla, before she turned back to Wolfram. "She's a fool. It'll kill her before it rids her of what she wants gone." She paused. "They way the poison works, it doesn't make it just disappear... It melts it off. It's an acid, anyone who has inhuman features, those features will melt off in a black slush, I've seen it on a smaller scale once before. The inhuman cells will die, depending on what kind of inhuman, may it may take the inhuman with it." She murmured, cocking her head and lashing her tail.

Jessi froze. So many people are going to die. We can't let that happen. "What's the plan? We have a key that leads to a safety deposit box at the bank, but I don't think their open on Sunday."

Wolfram sighed softly, frowning. "We'll have to destroy the key then, no? Then Mapleshade will never get to it." He let out a frustrated snarl. "I wish mom told me about this! Then we wouldn't be in this position!"

River froze, her mind whirling, calculating. "I..." Her voice drifted off as Wolfram began growling, and thankful for the distraction, she turn to him. "Your mother could have never foreseen this. But destroy the key... That'll be hard. We run the risk of setting it off, we would need some crazy technology. Or... It may not be destroyed without a key, when I last saw it, it latched onto one person. Once it finished... Once it finished it dissipated. It may the kind of poison that... Needs set with something to make it dissipate." She winced at her words, before whirling to Jessi. "You have a key? Good. Not open on Sunday? Argh... Pure are terrorists, they won't care if they catch wind of it. Plan? Get the key, figure out what to do from there. Find a way to destroy it, I suppose. And stay out of the Pure's wind no matter what."

Wolfram was silent, his mind whirling wildly in a hundred directions. "How do we stay out of the Pure's way?! They're everywhere, and Mapleshade will be tearing apart my moms apartment in no time looking for a key that isn't there!" He yelped anxiously. He heard a creature whimpering, and he looked down, seeing Peterson nuzzling him. Don't get upset! The dog's eyes seemed to say as they looked up at him. He took a deep breath, sighing softly.

Jessi looked around. She was feeling useless, she didn't know what to do. "We need to get rid of the Pure once and for all."

River nearly reached over and set a hand of his shoulder, but decided against it. Better not. "We just will. We lay low, get the key, the Pure are distracted right now."

"We don't stay out of their way. We fight them," Indigo said.

"Okay, look." River said, turning on her. "I've fought armies before, and I get how to do it. Quiet, Enchanter. We can't go straight head on, that's rash and stupid, a suicide mission. Finding a way to slip their guard, like getting the key and destroying it, is as much a blow as killing ourselves fighting them."

"I agree with River." Wolfram spoke up. "Going head first will get us all killed. Mapleshade and her men are fast and sneaky, they'll wipe us out in a split second. We barely escaped last time." He explained, gesturing half heartedly to his injured arm.
