Roddy was impressed when he saw the mansion.? "Maybe these Bender-clowns are serious," he murmured as he rode his motorcycle up the illuminated driveway, stopping at the bottom of the marble stone steps leading up to the entrance.? He tossed his keys to what he assumed was a parking attendant of some kind in spite of the fancy suit the man was wearing.? "Not a scratch if you want a tip, Jeeves," he said theatrically as he started up the steps.
He didn't see any other cars nearby and frowned, wondering if he was early. But then shrugged.? "Probably just wanting to be fashionably late," he muttered.? He noticed a girl standing by the door ringing the bell.? "Well, at least I'm not the first one to show," he said, giving the tall polished doors an appraising look over. He looked back to the girl, trying to assess her as well.? She didn't exactly radiate menace, which he found disappointing. He was hoping for more.? "So, you here for the meet'n'greet?" he asked, trying to sound like he did this sort of thing all the time.
(Raine)
Was dressed for the evening, shirt, tie, vest, and jacket.? He was pretty sure this was more to set precedence more than anything.? He was the second in command because he had earned it and he took his job seriously, perhaps too seriously.? He was going down to check on Aurora, he was wanting to know what he had missed.? He gave her his debrief and was now looking forward to taking down his little brother and his rag-tag group.? He was sure he would have to deal with dear ol¡¯ dad since Brandon was not into himself enough to present a decent challenge for him.? He did a last check over himself and he was clean as he went downstairs to great or deal with their guests.? He roamed out of his room and down the stairs easily as he waited to see Aurora and waited for the others to show.?
?
¡°Good evening lovely.¡±? He said next to her just loud enough for the two of them to hear.? With similar powers, they could both speak telepathically to each other.
(Aurora)
Aurora took a moment to look at Raine.? He was handsome in his suit and tie, but she needed Photon to attend, not Raine or Stephen.? "Hello to you as well, um, my dear," she placed a hand on his chest and stepped up closer to him.? "Not that I don't like you in this, because I do, but I need Photon here tonight." She batted her eyes at him and patted his chest.? "So, if you could make a quick clothing change, that would be great.? I will send Jordie to answer the door.? Meet us in the dinning hall."? With that she turned and walked away from him.? She liked the flirting with him, some day, maybe they would move past that stage.
Aurora was dressed in her finest green suit and hair glowed a brilliant dark green.? She knew she was ready for the night and to introduce the new members.? She moved to the dinning room to find Jordie and Misty chatting quietly together.? His lady, Amira was sipping a glass of wine while looking out the window.? "Jordie, please go and greet the guests and show them here."
(Jordie)
Jordie gave his boss a smile and after excusing himself from Misty's company made his way to the door.? He was dressed in a black suit and tie and wore sunglasses.? They helped hide the fact that his eyes could move faster then normal when he was researching, reading, or looking up stuff on the internet.? At times he started doing it when he wasn't concentrating on it and it tended to freak people out.? So he just took to wearing sunglasses all the time.? Lighter shaded ones for night.? He opened the door, "hello, and good evening.? Aurora is expecting you.? Hello, Misty." He greeted her with a smile, then to Lightening Rod, "I am Jordie.? Come this way please."? He turned to lead them inside.
