"The city. It's not a good place for us. Not yet." He said quietly. "We've lost too much in there. Plus, when I was a kid, about your age, I would always come to the forest. It was like, this was my place you know? I'd come here to forget about anything bad." He came here to forget a lot of things...

Lily nodded sadly. "I see . . . I was only hiding in the forest because it seemed like a good spot to hide, but it's important to you. I can understand that. I wish I had a place where I could remember the happy times. I can't even remember where the house I used to live in was or how it looked like." "The only thing I have to help me remember those times are my kids here," said Lily, ruffling the Teddy bears fur; 'Kids' where an affectionate term for her creations, for Pip, Dae and Bob.

Midnight felt her eyes widen at Justin's response to the guy who just came out of no where. She felt her necklace glow even more so she wrapped her hand around it tight. She was still kind of shocked but she shaked her head a little so she wont be. Well then, was all she thought as she poked the fire with a stick.

Cerys wasn't saying much. She didn't really know what to say. "Kids huh?" Said Oliver. "And I take it that's your power?"

> > Danny > > > > "It's Fine. I don't blame you for speaking up for the same bullshit you've been forcibly spoon-fed since the third grade. It's a natural, healthy response." > > He says with a smirk, sitting down > > "Oh, I'm all for challenging propaganda," he said, "but I'm just wondering if their propaganda's why you support a group of genocidal mainiacs or if you actuallly managed to convince yourself that anyone that isn't white is worthy of the gas chamber." Danny "Well for starters, maybe you should have researched Hitler's views on race. He actually wasn't all too interested in 'Aryans'. His primary focus was re-establishing the Germanic culture and tradition, as Well as bringing about some economic stability and cultural pride. But hey, Himmler killed a handful of psychological degenerates and cultural parasites, so let's blame everything on Jewish innocence and Hitler." He said in reply, a soft smirk and a bit of sarcasm in his mouth.

Lily smiled at Oliver. "Something like that," she muttered. "I don't like using it much. It's very tiring." More like _crippling_, but she wasn't about to tell them exactly what her power was or what it cost. "So what can you two do? I heard something about explosion earlier, but I wasn't paying too much attention."

So I take it you support the blades then? After all, in their eyes we're psychologcal parasites and cultural degenerates too. The difference is, now you're the Jew. Welcome to Berlin, Ann frank." He looked at midnight. "Come on. That's about all of the racism I can handle tonight."

Oliver smiled. He liked talking about his power. He thought it was really cool. "I can turn anything I touch into an explosive" he said as he picked up a small stone. It started to glow purple. "The only drawback is that if I receive a fatal wound... Well, let's just stay I turn purple." He said as the stone stopped glowing and it dropped to the floor. "I also have minor telekinesis. I can move small things with my mind basically." --- "I can create forcefields" Cerys piped up. Oliver picked up a stone and threw it at Cerys. It bounced off an invisible wall. "He tries that at least once a day hoping that one day he'll be able to hit me" she said with a small giggle.

Lily laughed seeing the stone bounce of the force fields. She turned to her 'Kids'. "Dae here has all the senses of a bird and can copy other people's voices - he used to be a ventriloquist puppet," she said. "Bob can launch laser beams or just be really warm when I need it. Pip has super strength and he's really tough." She was proud of her kids abilities and also thankful. "It was them that kept me safe all this time."

Midnight got up off the ground and nodded her head "And the most racism I have experienced." She chuckled and walked next to Justin. "And also you both added a pitch of history. Well played" she rolled her eyes clapping then apologized for saying that.

That's about all of the racism I can handle tonight." Danny "Jews aren't a race, they're a fuckin' parasite and I can fuckin prove it to you." He said standing up, ignoring the blatant ignorance for his sake

Oliver nodded. "We've just had each other this whole time." He said. (Sorry my posts, 2:30 in the morning isn't the best writing time...)

(It's fine :D) "So were you the one behind the explosions earlier?" said Lily. She was curious to find out what caused those. With Olivers ability, he was probably the cause. "What happened?"

"We were surrounded. They had a gun that could rip right through Cerys's forcefield. So I primed it and we ran." He said. True, he did wish he couldve killed them in a less brutal way. Still glad he killed them nonetheless.

Lily shuddered. "I've never killed anyone before," she muttered. "But I guess you needed to right? So I guess it was okay, what you did. I wonder why they're hunting us anyway? I always wondered why."

"It's never ok. But sometimes you have no choice." He said. "Because of bad people. Not all Outcasts are like me and you. Some were downright evil. The Blades jumped at that, using them to get to power. Think of spiders right? Some spiders are dangerous, some aren't. Yet you hate them all because you can never be too sure"

"I get it . . . that's too bad. I think it would have been fun, if I could live normally with other people. My neighbors kids and I used to play with each other all the time with Pip and Dae. They didn't seem to mind," she said. "Does this mean not all the Blades are bad guys too?"

"Whatever," said Justin. It was too late at night to deal with this right now. He cut down the coyote skeleton and threw it in the hole, kicking some dirt over it. He then rolled up the rope and stuck it in his backpack. "Here" he said, tossing the racist a granola bar. "Feel free to use the fire built by someone else. If I stick around much longer you might decide you don't like Asians hanging around with white girls and blitzkrieg me." He looked at Midnight. "Do you mind if I carry you? We can move faster that way." --- Philip located the patrol sent to investigate the explosion and missing soldiers. When he got near, he howled. "What do you think, sir? Coyotes?" one of them said. Philip growled. "Probably." said the leader. "Infrared." Everyone switched to infrared, and one unlucky private got a surprise when he turned it on. "Uh, who's standing in front of me?" "What are you talking abou..." the leader turned just in time to see a figure grab the gun out of the private's hands and hit him in the face with the butt of the rifle, knocking him out cold. "Outcast!" he called, and all of the men looked around for the enemy. They were too close to use their guns, though, so they were unable to shoot him when he picked up their leader and threw him into a tree, knocking the wind out of him. He went over and stabbed the leader with a tranquilizer dart. They were then greeted by a bright light followed by darkness as their goggles overloaded and burned out from the light. When one of them thought to take off his mask and shine a flashlight, he saw the monster from a scifi movie standing there. "What the..." he said, before he was blinded by another flash of light and then had someone put a rag covered in chloroform over his mouth and nose. The other two weren't any luckier, due to the fact that they couldn't see him. A few seconds later they were also knocked out as their heads were hit together with enough force to effect them even in their helmets. Philip striped the soldiers, throwing everything he wanted to keep in one pile and everything he didn't in another pile in the nearby clearing. He then threw some mostly-dry dead branches on the pile in the forest, poured on a bottle of vodka for good measure, and drew his "laser gun." The spotlight was focused with his powers, and quickly ignited the pile of gear. He went back to where he had met the people, but saw that they were gone. With a pair of salvaged infrared goggles from the unlucky private he saw a series of heat footprints on the ground leading away, and followed them to a hole in the ground. *"The city. It's not a good place for us. Not yet. We've lost too much in there."* he heard a man say. So, they didn't want to use the safe house. That's fine. He left two sets of armor, two knives, and all of the canteens and protein bars the patrol had on them in a pile in front of the entrance along with a note. "If you ever need it, the safe house is there, with food, drinks, even heat and electricity." the note said. He let go of the stuff and it reappeared. He then walked a bit away and watched to see what they'd make of it.

Danny "Hitler actually said Asians are the Aryans of the east." He said with a chuckle "And actually, you'd move faster if you let me come along."

Oliver sighed. That's a tough question to answer. "No. Some do it because of fear. Fear for their families and such" he said. "But its still not right".
