Samantha Grimm/John Morgan
Samantha was incredibly embarrassed at this point, between DeeDee threatening to take away her bra in their next trial, and her sister Sarah contacting her and making it clear that she knew what was going on. Samantha was very surprised as DeeDee's tail pulled her closer. DeeDee's lips were so close to hers put she didn't move away, because she was too stunned to move. Then DeeDee pulled away and Samantha was finally able to regain her composure. "Well... well thank you for the lesson DeeDee, I would love to continue learning from you. But I should probably get back to my sisters now." Samantha took out a marker and took DeeDee's hand, writing down her cell phone number. "You can use that to call me or text me if you want. You know for lessons and stuff." Samantha said after writing down the number and turned away slowly. She headed toward her sisters' table, sending a telepathic message that said, Please don't say anything she said to both of them, still trying to suppress her blushing.

Meanwhile John began to struggle as Sarah asked when she asked what other reasons he was in Gotham. He couldn't deny that she was charming and kind. However he wondering if this was not an act that she had practiced before. He had to figure out how to answer this question, as his mind was demanding that he be truthful. He decided to discuss her flattery first to give himself more time. "Well, you're very kind. I didn't expect to find someone as beautiful and interesting as you here as well." He smiled at her. Then his mind forced him with immense pressure to answer the question. "Well, to be honest I was board. I'm based in Washington DC and it can get quite boring sometimes. So, I came here to see it I could find some adventure." He told Sarah, as the pressure in his mind reduced a bit. He had in fact told the truth. Part of the reason he came there to help Batgirl because he was bored with his mundane work and needed a change.

Cora
Cora had been checking on Roy occasionally, making sure that he was okay. Once he was sound asleep Cora decided to head downstairs to her training facility, she needed to clear her mind. She changed into her training gear and entered the gravity chamber before starting the program with AI opponents that was set and 20 times the gravity of Earth. Cora's mind was swirling with emotions that she didn't know how to deal with. The thing she wanted to do more than anything was talk to Katie, but that was also the thing that she was scared to do the most.

Cora knew that her feelings for Katie were quite strong, and while she didn't know much about relationships, she knew somehow that she wanted one with Katie more than anything. However she was afraid that Katie would reject her, it was so soon after Eric's death after all. Core feared that that would lead to her worst nightmare, losing Katie's friendship. She wouldn't be able to stand losing Katie, it would be horrible.

Cora's mind still wasn't clear when she finished training, but she didn't want to do anymore. She was distracted and it wasn't helping her relax. She went upstairs to take a shower and after a half an hour or so she emerged wearing causal sweat pants and a t-shirt. She sat down on the couch in the living room, looking quite confused and distracted, like she was lost somehow.

[Tomia]

Mars
Mars continued to fight off every Rantu he could find, but each one he knocked out seemed to be replaced by another. He saw more ships come into the skies and he knew he had to figure out a way to disrupt them. He took a deep breath and analyzed their formation. Hwow could he not have realized it before! They were in a defensive potion surrounding a larger ship in the center. That must have been the command ship that was controlling the others that were all moving in similar if not the exact same ways.

Mars propelled Rocket forward toward the main ship, determined to stop this once and for all. "Mars, we should ask the others for aid. This seems like an uncalcuated risk." Rocket said to his pilot.

"We don't need them!" Mars replied, moving Rocket forward faster. The Rantu soon figured out what Mars was doing and began to swarm around him. Rocket was able to knock a number of them away however they soon began to overwhelm him. Mars didn't know what to do. Rocket's systems were over heating, and a few more direct hits and he'd get taken out of the sky.

[Tomia]

Cora
Cora saw Katie sit down on the couch next to her, and her cheeks quickly flushed red. Cora felt totally different when Katie was in the room. As if she had trouble concentrating on anything other than her.

Cora felt deeply ashamed and upset when Katie didn't even seem able to look her. Unlike Katie, Cora wasn't very good at reading body language or actions at all. Cora felt that Katie was angry with her, and couldn't even bear to look at her.

A tear started to creep out of each of Cora's eyes. She was afraid that she had just lost her best friend. "I'm sorry Katie. I shouldn't have kissed you after you pulled away. That wasn't right of me." Cora said sincerely, not realizing that Katie might have enjoyed the kiss just as much as she did. "Maybe I should just go." She added softly, in a sad tone. "I understand if you don't want to be around me right now." Cora said, more sadness creeping into her voice as she slowly starred to stand up to walk away.

[Tomia]

Cora
Cora was surprised when Katie jumped up and grabbed her arm, telling her not to go. Cora stopped in her tracks and stood there in shock and relief as Katie took her hands and told her how she really felt. "So... You don't hate me?" Cora asked, a little nervously but there was a lot of hope and relief in her voice too. It may have seemed like a ridiculous question, but Cora had actually been afraid that it had been true.

Cora felt her heart skip a beat when Katie asked her to be in a relationship with her, and pressed the android's hands against her. Cora felt like a giant weight had been lifted of her shoulders, and she even smiled. "I'd like that very much Katie. You've been my best friend since I've met you and you've been amazing to me. That kiss... well it was the best moment of my life." Cora said honestly, sharing her feelings on a level that she rarely did. She then puller Katie into a warm hug and held her close to let her know she'd always be there for her from now on.

[Tomia]

"Of course I don't hate you Cora!" She paused, smiling as she embraced her friend as she had been embraced. A warm and tight hug. She smiled up at Cora, being the shorter of the two. "I really, really, really like you Cora. From the day I met you and when I stopped you from being arrested I liked you." She spoke, then sighed. "I... I didn't even realize how much I liked you until.... well... you kissed me." She chuckled. Then a small tear trickled down her face. "I really want this to work Cora... You... mean a whole lot to me. More than I ever could have realized." She spoke. She wiped the tear and then moved back a bit, only so that she could look into Cora's eyes. Her wondrous eyes. She didn't care that she was an android, just like Cora didn't care she was a Mutant. Those thing just didn't seem to matter compared to their feelings for one another.

Cora was extremely happy at Katie's words, they were exactly how she felt about her in return. "I really like you too Katie." Cora said sincerely as they continued to hold each other. "You were the first person who ever treated me with kindness and humanity. You didn't see me as a freak or a monster, and I'll always be grateful for that." "I suppose I've always had these feelings for you too, I just never realized them until yesterday. I'm so glad you feel the same way."

Cora was a little confused when Katie pulled away slightly, but noticed that she was looking up into Cora's eyes. Cora realized that was the same look that Katie had as yesterday. Once again Cora couldn't help herself and wrapped her arms around Katie's waist and pulled her into a tender kiss, which Cora supposed would be the first official one of their relationship.

[Tomia]

Samantha Grimm/John Morgan
John felt the constant demand to tell the truth ease from his mind, and he was pleased to see that Sarah was satisfied with his answer, at least for no anyway.

Then Sarah began to get much more flirtatious, as she leaned closer to him, John had to admit it was tempting. He was certainly attracted to her, and in any other circumstance he would certainly engage her, but it felt wrong to do so with a known criminal. Still, he needed information from her, and getting close to her couldn't hurt.

"Well, if you think I've found my adventure, then who am I to disagree?" He asked coyly with a smart smile. Sarah then turned away from him suddenly when her sister Samantha returned. He was surprised at how quickly Samantha drew Sarah's attention, and John realized now how important Sarah's sisters must be to her. He sat back silently and decided to observe the interaction.

Samantha blushed brightly at Sarah's words but answered anyway, comforted by Sarah's promise not to embarrass her too badly. "Well, I learned a lot. Her name is DeeDee and she's the co-owner here. She's also an amazing magic user. She made that illusion outside the club, and she said she'd be willing to teach me what she knows." Samantha sounded quite excited about the idea of learning from another mage. To Samantha, developing her skills was quite important to her.

[Tomia]

Mars
Mars was expecting Rocket to be knocked out the sky, but suddenly a magical bubble formed around them. Suddenly he was protected and the enemies couldn't touch them anymore. He had no idea how this was happening, but he needed to take advantage of it. He smashed his fists into the enemies and scattered all of them as they couldn't touch him in return. "Attack the command ship!" He shouted to the others, not yet investigating the source of the bubble that protected him.

[Tomia]

Samantha Grimm and John Morgan
Samantha grinned brightly at her sister's words of approval and praise. Though Samantha tried to play herself off as someone who is strong and didn't care what others thought, the opinions of her sisters were very important to her. She listened to her sisters talk about some kind of registration act that was on the television. Samantha didn't care much herself, but she listened to her sisters talk about it. She smiled at Hannah's analysis. It was so like her. She said something with wisdom and then reverted to her childish self.

Meanwhile John saw the TV as well and knew that he'd probably be called into work soon. John personally didn't think the law was a bad idea. After all, there were heroes who if they lost control would destroy the world and everyone in it. Was the average citizen just supposed to accept that?

This opinion didn't seem very popular here however so he held his tongue as to not compromise his original goal. Rather, he stayed silent and merely listened to the others speak.

Mars
Suddenly another Rantu warrior came charging at Mars but was incercepted by some kind of rotating disk that shined brightly. Then Mars and Rocket were suddenly filled with emense strength, and even though he still didn't know the source of these changes, he assumed it was one of the others that were fighting the Rantu as well. Right now he didn't care however and he just focused on fighting the Ratu leader. With his greatly increased strength, Rocket smashed his fist into the stomach of the Rantu, knocking it off balance and leaving it vulnerable to a knock out blow.

[Tomia]

Valancy smiled back, "Strong shake," she joked, before listening to the woman. "New members are always welcome," she said, "and it'll be good to have another heavy hitter on the team. I'll go round up the founding members, and we can reach a final verdict, but know that you have my vote." Leading Sabrina to the elevator, they went to the living room, Valancy poking her head through, her eyes widening at seeing Katie and Cora kissing. Stepping fully through, she cleared her throat loudly, "Uh, believe me guys, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have a potential new member," she said, motioning towards Sabrina.

Katie reluctantly broke off the kiss and sighed. "It's like every time we kiss we get interrupted." She remarked, rubbing her head with a sigh. She walked over to Sabrina, Cora in tow with her other hand. She smiled. 'Sorry. I heard you knock but... I was... distracted. Anyhow. Welcome aboard! I'm Katie! This is Cora! And You've already met Val." She paused. "You'll get to meet the rest soon."

Cora blushed brightly when Ruby entered the room, her hair burnt and a puppy following her. She was soon followed up by Valancy who entered with a new person Cora didn't know. Katie had reluctantly pulled away from Cora, and she seemed more frustrated than embarrassed. Cora felt Katie take her hand and the android followed her as she lead her toward Sabrina who was apparently interested in joining them. Cora blushed again when Katie said she had been distracted. Cora then offered Sabrina her free hand to shake. "Hi, it's nice to meet you. So you want to join us? We're always happy to have new members. What are your abilities if you don't mind me asking?"

[Tomia]

Cora
Cora nodded to Sabrina when she told them her name as well as her hero alias which apparently was Stargirl. Sabrina had a curious accent that Cora wasn't very familiar with, but she had been told it was rude to question such things, so she decided to refrain from asking.

She noticed her surprise when she saw Katie and her kissing and Cora was quite embarrassed by that. She was usually very shy about this kind of thing and kissing Katie in public wasn't something she had intended on doing. Luckily there seemed to be something else going on when Sabrina pointed to the news about the UN ordering heroes to register. They also reported that a scientist had leaked files on secret weapons projects. Apparently they had even tortured the poor man to try to force him to help them.

Cora frowned deeply at that. She knew what torture felt like, and she hated anyone who would do that to another person. She began to have flashbacks to her own experiences, and had somewhat of a distant look on her face, her own screams echoing in her mind.

"Well... I'm... I'm not sure how I feel about it." Cora said to the group. That wasn't the complete truth, but the distressed look on Cora's face made it clear that she was not very comfortable talking about it. Katie was still the only one who knew the details of what she had gone through. She was the only one that Cora had been able to bear sharing the story with.

[Tomia]

Mars
Mars took advantage of the Red Commander being off balance, and he slammed Rocket's foot into the Rantu's chest, knocking him out of the sky. For a second it seemed like Mars would let the alien fall to his death but then Rocket accelerated and grabbed the alien, tossing him onto a nearby roof top before turning back to the fight. However, most of the Rantu had begun to scatter as their leaders were being defeated. So Mars decided to take advantage of the distraction and the increased strength he and Rocket seemed to have. Rocket flew at high speed toward the command ship before suddenly activating his sword which radiated a plasma like energy. Rocket brought the sword down as fast as he could, clearly destabilizing the ship. Though it hadn't been knocked out of the sky yet. Rocket's energy core was running low, as Mars had used much more energy than he usually did in fights. For this reason Mars was forced to to fly Rocket toward a nearby building to land. Mars would have to make sure he created a more powerful battery in the future.

[Tomia]

Samantha Grimm and John Morgan
John gave a small smile when Hannah spoke to him, shaking her hand when she offered it. "It's nice to meet you Hannah. And no need to worry, I wouldn't have wanted to interrupt your meal." He told her kindly.

Suddenly Hannah seemed distracted, and Samantha noticed it too. "Hannah? You okay?" Sam asked with concern before her little sister suddenly ran off. "Hannah, wait!" Sam called after her but she was already gone. Sam looked over at Hannah's backpack, she rarely ever tossed it carelessly like that. Sam's eyes widened when she noticed that Hannah's teddy was no longer in the bag. Sam then heard a loud howl outside and her eyes filled with fear. "Sarah, we have have to stop her!" Samantha shouted in alarm before running off outside to find Hannah.

John clearly looked confused, but knew whatever was going on was not good. "What's wrong? Is your sister in danger or something?" Morgan asked Sarah. They may be criminals, but they didn't seem like terrible people, just misguided. He didn't want any harm to come to them.

[Tomia]

The wolf lifted her claw, ready to slam it down into the person in her way.

"Hannah No!" Samantha shouted, horrified when she saw her sister in wolf form, about to attack three kids a little younger than they were. Samantha knew they were all in danger, and she had to do her best to keep Hannah's attention from them. She took a shaky breath, she was going hate herself for what she needed to do now.

Obligaverit Samantha whispered, and large shadow like strands of energy shot at Hannah, attempting to bind her arms. Samantha didn't expect it to hold, but she just needed to get Hannah's attention away from the boys, even if that meant bringing that onto her. "Hannah, don't do this. I know you're upset. But you're still in there somewhere, please don't do this." Sam said with emotion in her voice. She didn't want to have to hurt her sister.

John followed Sarah out of the club and was shocked to see a giant werewolf like creature standing outside. He could tell it was Hannah, considering that Sam was fighting the monster and Hannah was nowhere to be seen. Morgan didn't want to blow his cover, but he decided that the money didn't matter at the moment. He had to try to stop Hannah before she hurt anyone. He charged at the beast, focusing the energy that he had stored and concentrated it into his fist as he slammed it into Hannah's werewolf like chest. His strike would have knocked out an ordinary human, but he knew it would take a lot more than that to subdue something like this.

[Tomia]

Samantha Grimm and John Morgan
John heard Sarah's genuine pleas and they threw him off balance. He realized that Hannah couldn't control her own actions, but he needed to make sure she didn't hurt anyone. When she broke free of her bonds the energy released sent him flying backwards. He pushed himself off the ground and on to his feet. If only he had his suit he could deal with this problem much more easily. He saw the youngest child step towards Hannah and Morgan was about to run to intercept him but then suddenly he froze and couldn't seem to move. What the hell is this? He thought in his mind.

Samantha had cast a spell to immobilize John, as she saw Hannah seem to calm down a bit as the young boy approached her with the Teddy Bear. Sarah was right, all she wanted was the Teddy Bear back. "Don't worry, she won't hurt you. She's actually very sweet, but that Teddy Bear means a lot to her and it hurt her a lot to lose it." She told him urging him to step closer. She then turned to Hannah, hoping this would work and hoping her sister would hear her. "Hannah, he's going to give you Teddy back. He didn't hurt him, and Jonathan here seems sorry about what happened, I know you're angry sis, but please, don't do anything you'll regret." Samantha then suddenly took a big risk and reached out for Hannah's front hand. Either Hannah would embrace her, or slash her to bits, but Sam didn't want anyone else to get hurt and she couldn't bring herself to hurt Hannah.

[Tomia]

Cora
Cora was inspired by Kylie's speech. The Justice Queens were her family and New York was her home. She didn't want to do anything that might put any of that in danger. "You're right Kylie. No matter what, we need to stay together. This team, is the only family I've ever had. You're the only people who took me in and accepted me. So I'm going to stick by this team to the end. We started this team to help people, and that's what we should do. Justice doesn't pick sides, it helps everyone." Cora said with determination as she voiced her agreement with her Green Lantern friend.

She then heard Katie say that she was going to help Naja. "I'll come Katie. If Naja's boyfriend needs help, I'll help of course." Cora said. This mission seemed like it'd be dangerous and she couldn't let her new girlfriend go off to deal with it without backup. The same went for any of her teammates as well. Cora would be devestaed if any of them got hurt.

[Tomia]

Alex flew into the massive beam that Asumar fired. His bright golden energy condensed into his fists. He lifted both of them above his head aiming to axe slam Asumar. Normally, he'd be using much less power, and have a taunt planned, but now he was gunning for blood as a mindless super soldier. He would be ashamed of himself had he had enough sense to feel shame. He was never a hateful person. A bit cold and stoic, but he certainly wouldn't tear someone's head off over a fight.

Fury was en route to the fight. He had to call Alex off before he killed someone in public. That would undermine everything they stood for. Even if one of them was a murderer, registration was about second chances. Many of the villains had signed up and were on the payroll. Typically for messier missions, but the idea was still there. It didn't take long for the SHIELD jet to get him there. He stepped out looking as commanding as ever. "Alright. Stand down soldier. I think they got the message. We're not here to make a mess." He said and Alex stopped fighting as he approached Asumar. "I've given you plenty of chances, alien. Here's one more. If you don't surrender. I can't stop what's going to happen next. I mean that literally. I'm trying to save your life, and give your son a real life on this planet. Trust me, I'm trying to keep this planet safe. It's my job. And since you're on this planet too. That includes you. Don't make this difficult."

Naja

Kylie volunteered to help them too? That made her feel a bit better about their odds. "The good news is, we're registered. So he won't fight until we start it. Katie, how long do you think it'll take to rewire his brain? We can buy you... A minute? I think." She said and thought about it. "How close do you have to be?"

"Depends. I don't nessecarily need to be too close. I just need to be able to see him." She explained. "There is... One way I could be certain to rewire his brain, but that would involve having to touch him and then send my electron self within his nervous system. I could perform all ther alterations in peace then BUT." She held up a hand. "That's potentially more dangerous, as not only do I have to get close enough to touch him, but it also could be more complicated once I get in. I won't have a birds eye view of his brain, basically and I might get lost in there."

"So there's the safer but longer way, and the risky but potentially more efficient way." Latie remarked, then turned to Cora, frowning. "Are... Are you sure Cora? Alex is pretty powerful and... He won't be holding back. You might get hurt..."

Cora heard Katie's question and knew what she was worried about. She took Katie's hand and looked into her eyes. "Katie, I can't let you go off without me. I don't want you to get hurt either. I know your worried, and I really appreciate that. But I have to come with you, I care about you just as much as you care about me. I won't take unnecessary risk though, I promise." Cora said to Katie, hoping she had convinced her. She knew after what Katie had been through it was very reasonable for her to be worried about Cora, and if Katie really insisted upon it, she would reluctantly stay behind, but she was as worried about Katie as Katie was about her.

[Tomia]

Samantha
Samantha breathed a heavy sigh of relief when she suddenly saw Hannah reappear. She barely heard Hannah's apology before she pulled her tightly into a hug. "We're just glad you're okay Hannah. We love you Hannah, and we just want you to be safe." Samantha told her, rubbing her back softly to calm her younger sister. She then turned to Johnathan over her sister's shoulder. "Thank you for your help. That was very brave of you." She told the young boy sincerely.

[Tomia]

Mars
Mars stood by Elena as Xyri destroyed the remaining ships. He was annoyed that he had been sidelined at the end of the fight because Rocket ran out of energy. He saw Xyri's smile which only seemed to annoy him further. "I could have done that if Rocket's battery hadn't given out." He said to her. He knew that wasn't really true. Xyri had much greater strength than he did but his pride would not let him admit that. "Where did you come from anyway? Rocket's scanner can't read your DNA. You're no known species we've ever heard of, which is all of them." Mars questioned Xyri. Rocket however spoke up, "I thought your performance was quite efficient." He said truthfully to Xyri in his robotic voice. Unlike Mars he didn't harbor things like jealously or pride.

[Tomia]

Samantha
Sam wrapped his arms around Hannah when she apologized, helping her stand as she could see her younger sister was exhausted. "You're forgiven sis, we'll never stay mad at you. We just want you to be safe." She then heard James' words and really felt for him. He seemed like he was the Sarah of their group, but he was only 16. No 16 year old should have to go through that.

Sam smiled at Hannah's question, her sister had a very kind heart. "I saw a toy store near by when I was viewing the city." She told her sister. "I can lead you all there. Then we can buy Jonathan whatever Teddy Bear he wants."

[Tomia]

Samantha Grimm and John Morgan
Sam looked at Sarah with admiration as she gave James her spending money. Regardless of how people saw her, Samantha knew that Sarah was very kind hearted and generous at heart. She nodded to her when Sarah told her to take Hannah and the boys to the toy store. "Got it sis." She said, and then blushed when she said that Samantha wouldn't want them to be on DeeDee's bad side. She looked quite embarrassed, but she didn't say anything as she led the group away toward the toy store that was a few blocks down. When they arrived Samantha let Jonathan have his picks of toys that he wanted.

John had seen Sarah's gesture as well, and he was quite surprised. The more and more he saw from them, the less he thought the Grimm were criminals. Yes they stole, but they didn't seem greedy or evil. It just seem like they were trying to survive in the world. They were even going back and paying a bill that they could easily skip out on. He watched as Sarah approached him and spoke to him.

"It's alright. I was just trying to help is all, but it seemed like you two managed the job. You don't have to pay my bill, but thank you for offering." He then paused for a moment. "That was a very kind thing you did Sarah. You know, I suppose one kind deed deserves another. I'm sure you know I wasn't totally truthful with you before. You see, like you and you're sisters. I'm not a normal human either. I have abilities, and powers. I can't show you now, but if you Google the Flame Guard I'm sure you'll find some videos of me. I'm a crime fighter, and the original reason I approached you, was because I heard that someone matching your descriptions had robbed a bank in Starling City. I originally planned on arresting you, but the more I spoke to you three, and after watching you with those boys over there, I've decided against it. I don't like the fact that you stole, but you aren't bad people, and I won't chase you for providing for your sisters." John told her honestly. This was not something that he often did, as morality was always black and white to him.

He reached into his wallet and pulled out a bill that would cover his coffee and handed it to Sarah. "I won't bother you any longer. I'm sorry for having deceived you." John said to her sincerely before turning and walking away, in his mind enough justice had been done.

Mars
Mars frowned when he learned that Kiris had been the one to create the spells that had aided him. He should have been grateful, but his pride had been hurt. "Look, I didn't ask for any of you to help me! I don't need anyone to help me! Come on Rocket, we're out of here." Mars shouted at the group, before turning on the jets in his shoes and preparing to fly off with Rocket.

[Tomia]

John Morgan
John stopped when he heard Sarah call out to him, and couldn't help but smile at her words. He couldn't deny that he was attracted to Sarah, and that she was quite an extraordinary womam, but he wasn't sure if getting involved with her was a great idea.

Even though he wasn't trying to arrest her anymore, they weren't exactly on the same side, and having an emotional attachment to her could prove dangerous in the future. However, John was tired, and sore and his will wasn't at it's strongest. And Sarah's voice was quite seductive and welcoming, so he couldn't resist turning around and answering her.

"No, I can't say that was a lie." He said taking a step closer to her. "You don't have to call me Mister Morgan by the way, it's just John." He said with a smile. "So, this adventure you're talking about, have any ideas?" He asked her coyly, sure that she enjoyed this kind of cat and mouse game.

Mars
Mars had been ignoring Kiris' rant as he prepared to leave, not interested in arguing with her. Then she made a comment about his parents, and Mars stopped in his tracks. His mind filled with intense anger as he turned around and threw his helmet on the ground, revealing his face, which showed a mixture of anger, and deep seated pain. He glared fiercely at Kiris. "Don't you ever talk about my parents!" He shouted at her angrily. "You don't know anything about them, or me! SO JUST STAY OUT OF MY WAY! I don't need anyone alright? I'm better off alone!" He continued to shout. It didn't even seem like he was telling at Kiris anymore. He was yelling at the world. His greatest fear was that his parents wouldn't be proud of him, and Kiris had just plucked that nerve.

He was so angry and upset, that he was even having trouble thinking. He couldn't even remember how to fly in that moment so he merely grabbed his helmet and sat over on the ledge of the building, breathing heavily and clearly upset.

[Tomia]

Mars
Mars heard Kiris begin to cry as she went over to the other ledge and sat sulkily. He then heard Xyri approach him, and for a strange slim creature, she actually made sense. His anger began to fade a bit and he started to feel bad about how he had treated Kiris. Mars had a lot of unresolved anger, and he was angry at the world, not Kiris. He shouldn't have taken his emotions on her. He then heard her ask for a flask, which seemed like a strange request at that moment. However Mars actually had one, strapped to his leg. It didn't really serve any practical purpose, but it was actually an heirloom that belonged to his father. It was a silver flask that had Mars' family name "Asarin" on it. He didn't want to part with it, but he decided it was the right thing to do.

He stood up slowly, and took a few cautious steps toward Kiris before continuing at a more steady pace. He placed his hand a little awkwardly on Kiris' shoulder, as if he wasn't very comfortable with physical contact. "I'm... sorry. And.. thanks, for your help before." He said to her, though he sounded as if the words were quite difficult to get out. To fill the awkward silence he then held out his flask to Kiris, "Here, just... don't lose it okay? It's important to me." He told her, very serious about the last part of his sentence.

He then heard Elena's idea and frowned, being part of a team? That didn't sound like something he was interested in at all. H didn't like to be held responsible to other people or have them be dependent on him, Mars barely liked being around people at all. "No thanks, I work alone, and its best if it stays that way." He said definitively to her. Once Kiris gave him back his flask he planned on being on his way and never seeing these people again if he could avoid it.

Morgan
John felt Sarah getting quite close to him but didn't back away. He was quite charmed by her in this moment. The way she said his name, even the way she stood was fascinating to him. She then suggested that he come up with a plan for what they should do and it was pretty obvious what she was insinuating. However, as Sarah left, John gave it some thought. He decided it would probably be boring for Sarah if they just had dinner in his penthouse. She seemed like someone who wanted the unexpected. "Well, I have a nice home in Paris, and a private jet, if that interests you." He said with a smile.

[Tomia]

John Morgan
John was surprised when Sarah seemed to be genuinely indecisive about his offer. She hesitated to answer, which he was sure she hadn't done in the brief time that they had known each other. When she answered John was surprised, but actually admired Sarah's decision. He could tell that she wanted to go to Paris, but she cared about her sisters too much to abandon them. He began to see that there was a lot more to Sarah then her apparent supernatural beauty.

"I understand Sarah, and I admire how much you care about your sisters. It's truly touching. So, you'd prefer something more close by? Or maybe something where you didn't have to be totally separated from your sisters?" He gave though to this for a second, trying to think of a solution. Then, an idea came to his head that he thought could solve the problem. "You know, it might be childish, but I've always held a soft spot in heart for Disney World. My parents used to take me there as a kid. They were some of the best times of my childhood. So what do you say? I'll take all three of you there, and then Samantha can take Hannah on all the rides if she wants. I'm sure Hannah will appreciate all the costumed characters, considering how much she seemed interested in that Superman impersonator." He then gave a small smile, "Also, I'm sure we can find a quite place to ourselves. They've got some nice restaurants there, the hotels are nice too. Maybe there we could try out some of those ideas you mentioned." John added in a bit of a flirty tone, hoping she'd like his second idea better than his first.

Mars
Mars was nervous as Kiris took his flask but was surprised at how tenderly she dealt with it. He appreciated that, but was still concerned about getting his flask back. Then Kiris asked if he was leaving. He didn't really answer the question as he spoke, "I'll need that flask back. It's important." He told her plainly, then Rikki began telling him to stay as well. He started to get flustered. Usually people didn't want him around at all, and he didn't want them around. Now people wanted him to be a part of a group? "Look, you... you don't want me to join you alright? I don't get along with other people. I just don't... I just don't fit in." He told them, sadness in his voice. He had never been included in anything before. He didn't have any friends, which is why he didn't go to school. It was too hard for him to see others having fun and know he wasn't included.
