He arched his eyebrow at
his would-be lover. He frowned even though it was hidden as he only trusted her
with his secret and now, he had to trust the rest of this group. He smiled as
he knew if something went wrong at least he would get to kill them. He hadn¡¯t
caused a head to pop with microwaves for a while now. Only for her would he do
something even remotely close to this.
?
He listened to her give
instructions as he listened to everyone's abilities, he was too much like his
father for his own good already plotting how those there could be best used for
their skills and abilities. Jordie was clearly a techie that would come in
handy for all of them. The first thing he needed was to make all members of
this group disappear. Effective to not be traced.
?
He knew Liza¡good with
calculations. He had worked with her a couple of times to turn his allowance
into a large some which currently made washing money a bit easier as they made
it roll through enough shell and legit corporations for it to be squeaky clean.
?
They had worked with Mara
enough times to trust her and be aware of her, he couldn¡¯t sneak up on her
simply because she was sensitive to heat. But he wasn¡¯t without his abilities
in keeping an eye on her as well. He too was ever watchful, he had trust issues
go figure.
?
Lightning Rod he wasn¡¯t
sure about, but he did keep track of him and noticed the visual interaction
between him and Mara. ¡®Was he trying to impress her? Good luck with that pretty
boy.¡¯ He thought, knocking someone out of the sky versus a shapeshifting assassin¡yeah.
¡®You are the weakest link¡bye Felicia!¡¯ He didn¡¯t crack a smile which he would
have laughed had it been Brandon introducing himself to knock him down yet
another peg, but that was a family thing.

¡°Raine, Body
Transformation/Energy/Electromagnetic Spectrum for those of you not
familiar with your physics anywhere from Infra-red to Ultraviolet.¡± He said
simply he didn¡¯t have anyone to impress all of those people were elsewhere he
was his own person now¡no matter how much he missed them.
?
(Aurora)
Aurora noticed that Raine
hadn¡¯t lifted his face shield like she had asked.? She would address it
later with him.? She wasn¡¯t one to scold him in front of the others.?
She looked at Devi who simply shook her head, so she moved on.
?
¡°Now, that everyone who
wished to introduce themselves have we will move forward.? I am able to
manipulate and magnetize metal.? If you are wearing or have something
metal in your body, I can use it to my advantage.? That is my main
power.? I have a couple of others, but for now I will keep those to
myself.? Let dinner be served.? Please feel free to talk among
yourselves and ask any questions you wish of me.¡±? With that she gave a
wave to a person standing at the door and within minutes food was brought in on
trays.
?
Devi stood up and walked
to Aurora.? She whispered in her ear and Aurora nodded.? With that
Devi simply left the room then the premise.? Aurora would explain if any
of them asked.
?
(Jordie/Liza/Misty)
The three spoke among each
other after Aurora spoke and the food was being placed in front of them.?
Misty was sure that Aurora wasn¡¯t going to be happy with her being late and the
other two were trying to convince her to go and speak with their boss before
she had time to think it over.
?
[Mara]
?
Everyone dug in once the food was brought in by the
servants.? It was always a feast when Aurora set the table, at least to
Mara, it being one of the things that the assassin missed the most when being
out in the field.? The yuan-ti woman wasn't exactly trained in the art of
cooking either.? An assassin was meant to kill with tooth, claw and blade,
not by shoving a breadstick down someone's throat, though now that she thought
about it, was an awful but very funny way of disposing of someone that didn't
really leave a mark.? In any case, being on the move so often meant she
could, and would, only eat enough to survive.? Better to complete your
mission on an empty stomach than be caught?digesting a full meal.? A
full snake was a dead snake.? However, that was neither here nor there,
and she wasn't on a job yet, so Mara took full advantage of having this much
food before her.
?
Several heaping plates of various meats ringed the yuan-ti at
her seat.? Wasting no further time, the snake woman began digging into her
fare, swallowing the meats whole as she tilted her head back and dropped the
pieces into her mouth.? She didn't stop until her belly ever so slightly
puffed out, leaning back into her seat cross-legged as she sighed in
satisfaction.? Her eyes flicked to the one who called himself Lightning
Rod.? Maybe he should've called himself Static Shock instead, a name she
deemed more appropriate, which made the corners of her mouth inadvertently curl
up into a smile.? What a faker.? Clearly he was trying to impress
her, but for what?
?
"Aurora.? What do you think about that one??
The blond boy?" Mara whispered into her host's ear as she leaned
close.? "He's giving off a lot of mixed signals, though he can't seem
to take his eyes off me.? Should we, perhaps, give him a chance to show
off?? He seems so eager to prove himself."? That one would be so
easy to wrap around her finger.
?
(Lightning Rod)
?
Roddy picked distractedly at his food, barely able to look away
from where the snake woman sat near the head of the table with Aurora. He
shivered involuntarily at the way she seemed to swallow large chunks of meat
whole without even chewing them.? It was a strange feeling, being at once
fascinated and yet terrified on a very primal level.??
?
The blond youth was also unsettled by the strangeness of Mara's
eyes.? They could seem to be looking at something else entirely one moment
and then looking straight at him the next, without her head moving even the
slightest bit.
?
"So," Roddy said, addressing Misty, forcing himself to
look anywhere else besides at Mara, "any clue as to what the boss lady has
in mind for us?? Or is that gonna be revealed with dessert?"
?
?(Raine)
Was still in bodyguard mode since that is what Aurora wanted him for right
now.? ¡°Good with dessert prettyboy, she
will let you know when it is time.? For
now simply enjoy the fair that is placed before you.¡±? He said doing his best not to be cold but he
was already in a mood for some reason.?
He just simply didn¡¯t feel right and couldn¡¯t put his finger on it.? Maybe it was simply time to press his
relationship with Aurora a bit further.? They
had been together long enough for her to know he wasn¡¯t going anywhere and she
was the one he wanted.? He couldn¡¯t make
it any plainer if he stenciled it across the sky.? Yet, something was pressing on him that he
couldn¡¯t shake as he sat with this group.?
He looked at them thinking mayhaps this would be the group that would
take over the city with.? Something that
would make him clash with his family and yet he knew that he had to deal with
them at some point as he wasn¡¯t willing to wait for his father to hand him the
keys to the city.? He was going to have
to make his own.
He didn¡¯t try to over hear the chatter between Mara and Aurora.? He wasn¡¯t interested even in girl talk right
now, which was his fave.? It wasn¡¯t
telepathy but knowing when someone liked him or someone else did help him out
tremendously even momentarily some days.
