Aya gave a little jump when the dog popped up onto her bed, but then he looked at her with those eyes and she couldn't help but smile.

[color=mediumspringgreen]"Hi handsome,"[/color] she murmured as she scratched behind his ear with her left hand. She was a sucker for dogs. Aya looked back up at Max as he continued talking. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Thanks, but I really don't think the FBI will be necessary,"[/color] she replied. The idea of starting a whole new life didn't appeal to her. All she really needed to do was get away from this Meta war craziness. Moving in with her mom in Japan was absolutely out of the question, and there was nothing left for her in Hawaii, but she'd figure something out. And then there were the issues of her schooling and work…

She supposed staying here for a few days to get things sorted out really was the best option.

[color=mediumspringgreen]"As for Sebastian…"[/color] Her fingers stilled in the dog's fur as she replayed the events in her head. [color=mediumspringgreen]"I watched him murder two people, and turn their daughter into a killer just like him… her name's Cassandra. She can generate electricity and shock you with it, and now I guess she's with him. Her stepdad was my landlord. I followed Sebastian to the New Sun building and watched him make that deal with that woman, Isabella, and the doctor controlling the dragons, and I called the police… but Sebastian came back and saw me."[/color] Closing her eyes, Aya leaned her head back against the wall and sighed. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Then this happened,"[/color] she said, holding up her right hand. 

[color=mediumspringgreen]"But then I had him and I let him go. And now he's going to kill who knows how many."[/color] It wasn't even like she'd done it on accident, or Sebastian had gotten the upper hand. [color=mediumspringgreen]"I was the one in control and [i]I[/i] made the decision and now…"[/color] Now whenever Sebastian killed or tortured or manipulated, it'd be her fault. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Sorry,"[/color] she finished lamely.

"He speaks English, dude. He can understand you just fine. He just can't talk." Max says to Damien. He made a mental note to go see the tech geeks about that. Jake didn't have the Owlman's problem, there was no man to bird translation issues when it came to his brain. Jake thought human like it was native. They could whip him up some kind of translating collar.

But that was later. Right now, there was the sad business. He walked up to Aya and looked her in the eye. "Hey, you don't have anything to apologies for. Sebastien is Sebastien, everything he does is on him. You're not responsible for anything he does. Now I have to call the police about this murder. They're gonna want to come up and ask you some questions, but we can get them to hold off on that for a while if you don't feel up to it quite yet. Still, I need to know the name of your apartment."
