Adalene's hand went quickly into her purse, and she laid down some cash into the checkbook. She smiled at the waitress, and nodded along with Emmie. She was a little disappointing that Emmie would rather run than face things head on, but at least she knew that now. She followed her along to the bathroom, and was quiet as they went. Emmie basically had a panic but it seemed she didn't put it together enough that she could push it. She clearly didn't have much of a knack for tactics, but hey, if these powers were showing up randomly, not everybody would be able to use them as efficiently as possible.

Stepping into the room with her, she cracked a smile, "Anywhere." She said, taking Emmie's hand she she could take her. She wanted ot see what Emmie could come up with, Adalene felt like she'd been taking the lead on their activities for the most part, and finding out what Emmie liked to do, when given the option to do anything. "Just remember, we're still testing out and training our powers later tonight, so let's not go anywhere too crazy." She reminded her.

Seattle, Washington

@BlueSky44 @Morose Scott would notice that there was a slightly bloody baseball cap that was on the ground, that was worn by the man. But other than that there was nothing else that was dropped by the strange figure at all, other than the sound of the busy roads nearby around the city. Isley jumped slightly when she heard the gunshot go off and wondered slightly if Scott had gotten hurt or injured in someway shape or form. She looked over towards Jason for a second when he mentioned she started to think for a moment as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Do you have your parents to call, let them know you are going to be out of town, or a relative to tell them?" Isley suggested.

---

---

---

Olivia looked over towards Quinn for a moment as she started to search through some social media, she didn't really have one either not that Olivia had the time or anything, she just felt very weird and awkward having one. And she always saw it as more of a fad thing that would eventually fade away in time. "That's great, we can try and contact them maybe if it is at all possible." Olivia suggested as she started to go over the news in the Seattle area. She leaned back in the couch as she started to read over the article about the body turning up in Seattle.

But unfortunately there wasn't really that much information to actually go on though, same kind of scene that they had seen in the dream awhile back. Olivia then started to check out her phone again, there wasn't any kind of text yet from Claire, so she was a bit worried as well. But then again the city was pretty big after all, and the traffic was always horrible to, as she looked at Quinn again. "So got anything else planned for the rest of the day?"

---

---

---

---

"Anyway i'll give you some space Amelia, just take sometime to think about it okay?" Riley said, giving Amelia a quick hug before heading out of the bathroom and started to make her way over towards their table and stopped for a moment as she watched Fumiko and their waitress as well. She smiled slightly for a moment as the waitress smiled back at her and nodded she looked very happy and gratful as well before heading off to another group of customers.

Riley walked over and sat down across from her friend and leaned back up against the chair. "So, took some nice selfies there?" Riley asked joking a bit as she looked back towards the bathroom for a moment, before looking back at her friend across from the table. She was starting to get pretty hungry now as well and started to wonder about Amelia as well.

---

---

---

---

Emmie took a few deep breathes as she looked towards Adalene and nodded slightly as she went over to wash her hands really quick and started to dry them off really quickly. "Alright then, anywhere it is." Emmie said smiling awkwardly as she looked towards the doors to the bathroom. So far there wasn't anyone that was coming in just yet as she looked at Adalene before taking the woman's hand, and sighed slightly and closed her eyes before they were suddenly teleported. They were inside of the subway station, at least one of the maintenance areas where people weren't allowed to go in, but didn't really stop Emmie from just sneaking in.

Adalene would feel a bit nauseous, but she wouldn't be vomiting from this one this time around anyway. "We are at the Bedford Park Boulevard Station right now." Emmie said pointing towards the station name on the wall, she had used subway stations as well to hide in and teleport around as well. "So, you aren't going to puke on me this time?" Emmie asked again jokingly.

---

---

---

---

Janelle still didn't seem to get it, a fact that irritated Scott to no end. Ideally, they would vanish into thin air. No one would wonder why she was with Scott, since no one would know. They were adopted or something, right? As far as Scott figured, that meant they'd just be seen as runaways and the adoptive parents or whatever likely wouldn't care too much. It made his heart feel heavy for a moment. Did his daughter's adoptive parents care about her? Would they just brush things off if Jenna ran away?

He then spotted the bloody Eagles cap. His mind went back to the murder he had witnessed in Philadelphia. Was this evidence? Or was it just a coincidence? Either way, he wasn't dumb enough to put his prints all over it, so he holstered his gun and then took off his jacket. Using his jacket, he picked up the baseball cap and walked back over to the others. "The son of a bitch left this. Odds are, he's the one committing the murders. And unless you three want to end up in a bodybag, then don't let ANYONE know where we're going. GOT IT?!" he snapped. They didn't seem to take this seriously.

---

Getting to Olivia's place took a little bit longer than she had planned, but she arrived eventually. She took also a little bit of time to find a parking spot in the area, bu that too got sorted out eventually. Finally out of her car, she started walking to the front door of Olivia's building. She had more or less memorized the adress. With a happy smile she walked confidently to the front door and pulled her phone.' I'm by the building's entrance. Should I wait for you here or is entrance into the buildings free and I could directly come over?' She typed quickly and send he message to her friend.

While waiting for a reply, she stretched and loosed the top button of her uniform. This was probably the first time she actually showed herself to Olivia in an uniform. The cop wondered how her friend will react to it. Still, for the moment, she allowed herself to focus on the minds of those passing by as of to kill time. By now she had more or less developed a habit of reading peoples' minds a lot. It came almost as breathing did to her. That and it was truly amusing and fun to know what people were thinking about. Though sometimes admittedly she tended to learn more than she wanted. Still fun though.

---

---

---

Amelia had listened to Riley as the other spoke. She was breathing deeply in an attempt to regain her composure, but it wasn't going swimingly. She nodded to Riley as the other woman left and Amelia quickly started splashing water onto her face. This was getting absurd after all. She was a little bit of an introvert, but she did like hanging out and even enjoyed an outing on occasion. What's more she did promise Fumiko so she HAD to go.

"Alright... get a hold of yourself. You can do this!" Amelia said to herself looking at herself in the mirror." You haven't lost control since you moved in with Riley... It will be fine!" She mumbled and splashed some more water on her face. As for keeping Fumiko safe at their home now, she was going to be careful. If she ever felt her powers activating, she was going to lock herself in the bathroom or something. That could work! It had to work!

Finally calm again or at least as calm as she could be given the stressed out condition, she returned back to Riley and Fumiko." So... did I miss anything?" She quietly asked, adjusting a little her now a wet bangs because off all the water she splashed on her face.

---

As the girl was waiting for her friends to come back from ditching her, she was browsing through her work email on her phone. Of course, having an email for work was not something that most expected a pop idol to have, but Fumi found it helped her keep her files straight. By the time Riley was back, Fumiko was clearly interested in one of the emails on her phone. Holding up a finger as she read through it until she had processed it all and put the phone down onto the table. "Hm? Oh yes, we did. Although I am worried she's gonna steal some fans off of me. That girl should definitely be working a runway, not waitressing." Fumiko said with a slight giggle before looking towards Riley with a half-smile on her lips.

"I did, however, just get an interesting email from my agent. Ends up Britney's working on a new album, and guess who wants me in for a song or two?" She said with that grin growing a little. "I know I'm at the level where this isn't some huge jump forward, but she's always had an awesome voice. I'm excited for it. Oh. Uh. Britney Spears, by the way. I know its usually not your kinda genre so..." She said, trailing off awkwardly and taking a drink to hide her embarrassment from the momentary slip-up. "Anyways, whatta ya think?" She asked Riley just as Amelia came back from the bathroom.

---

Quinn pulled the number up on her phone, but did not send it yet. She wanted to wait for Claire to be there so they could do it together. "Let's wait for Claire to get here. We should also start thinking about how to contact everyone else. If we had some sort of network ability to connect to others with powers that would be easy. Instead, we have to teleport and see who we come into contact with. If you think about it, whenever we teleport, we teleport to others with powers. I teleported to the guy driving and to the siblings and both of them had powers. If we can find someway to use that, we can send out messages and warn the others about this killer or killers."

Quinn rubbed her temple, feeling a slight headache on the way. "Truth be told, no I have no plans. Been putting off work as much as I can. I have vacation days stockpiled so I was going to use some of them. Avoiding other commitments too because this has been on my mind constantly."

"We've got our uncle, well, more of I would have to talk to him, since I'm the only one under aged..." Janelle said softly to Isley, not sure what else to say. That sort of thing did bug her, not to mention that they knew absolutely nothing about Scott in general, how'd they even know if they could trust him? It didn't really matter too much to her, but she wanted to get away from this murderer or whoever the hell he was as soon as possible.

"Would you calm down alright? Look, we can't just rush off like you, because something tells me you don't actually have anyone who would give a damn if you took off some place. Unlike you, there are actually people who would notice us gone, so why don't you just shut up about it," Jason snapped at Scott, glaring at him. The guy was really starting to get on his nerves, and he didn't think it was even possible for him to get even more annoying.

She heard the tone of voice her brother was using and was not too thrilled by what he was saying. Why couldn't Jason just calm down, not yell at people. Having heard where her brother and Scott's voices were coming from, she made sure that she was standing in between them. "Jace, calm down, please... Yelling isn't going to solve everything, we should probably leave town or something, especially if that man had popped up here, okay? Look, you are acting a bit childish, so why don't you just shut it. You know that your yelling is also giving me a major headache right? So just shut up."

He looked at her, a bit wide eyed at her snapping at him like that, but he just let out a bit of a sigh. She was probably right, but he wasn't too sure if he wanted to admit that completely, especially in front of Scott of all people. Jason just shoved his hands into his pocket, and looked at the ground slightly, falling silent. Figuring he probably shouldn't say anything else save he make things worse.

Adalene gritted her teeth, determined not to let the nausea overtake her. "Nuh-uh." She said. She glanced around her, and thought for a second. She didn't have a map of New York in her head or anything, but she knew that was pretty far uptown. She'd never been in a maintenance area like this one before, so she took a second to look around. "Neat." She nodded. She knew a few homeless people slept here, especially during the winter, when they were a damn sight warmer than the frigid cold brought on by New York winters.

"So why'd you decide on here?" She asked. Maintenance rooms were cool and all, but they weren't exactly here idea of a fun time. "Is there somewhere around here you wanna go?" She asked. Or hey, maybe they were going to check out the subway network, that'd be unique and cool. And even if they were caught, it wasn't like they were going to actually get in any trouble, seeing as they could blink away at a moments notice.

Saturday, August 18th, 2018
Seattle, Washington

@BlueSky44 @Morose Isley looked at Scott as soon as he came out of the alleyway seeing the bloodied Eagles cap which made her worry a little bit as she looked up at him. She bit her bottom lip and rubbed the back of her neck slightly, and then stared between Janelle and Jace as the two of them spoke up. She remained fairly quiet and then she reached over to gently rest a hand on Jace's shoulder feeling a bit bad for him. "Just give a simple text, tell your uncle or whoever is responsible for you two that your going on a trip with some friends, don't say where your going that should be fine enough." Isley suggested looking over at Scott. "So where do you suggest we go then hmm?" Isley asked.

---

---

---

---

Olivia looked at Quinn and nodded slightly, as she started to think of something and quickly stood up and made her way towards a small shelf pulling out a sheet of paper. "I think we should do one of those giant cork board things, with pictures and strings pointing to things. Whatever you want to call it, we try and get the names of who we have met and then we mark it down. Get their number or any other sort of contact information we can get if they are willing to." Olivia suggested, as she started to write down the names that she had met so far.

Olivia then felt her phone vibrate and took it out seeing that it was Claire. "Looks like she's outside, i'll be right back." Olivia said as she started to get out and then left her apartment, heading down a flight of stairs until she was at the first floor and opened the door. She smiled seeing Claire there in her uniform and then held the door open for her and motioned for her to follow her. "How have you been?" Olivia asked as soon as Claire stepped inside. "Nice uniform by the way." Olivia said as she headed up the stairs, and then made her way back to her apartment.

---

---

---

---

Riley sat down and looked at Fumiko for a moment and smiled towards her. "That's really cool, haven't had a chance to do a song with anyone really yet, did a few major tours with some big bands about a year or so back but that's about it." Riley said smiling towards her friend. "Gotta let me know how that goes though." Riley said, as she watched the waitress coming back and gave the others a few refills before going off again to tend to a few other tables. Riley started to take a drink from her cup, when she looked to see Amelia coming back and smiled towards her.

"Welcome back, we were just talking about some music stuff." Riley said as she moved over a bit to let her friend take her seat again and leaned back as she took another drink. And then their waitress came back looking at the three ladies for a moment and nodded as she started to get ready. "What can I get you ladies to eat?" She asked the three of them.

---

---

---

---

Emmie looked over her shoulder at Adalene and shrugged slightly. "You said anywhere and it was the only thing I could think of at the time." Emmie answered as she headed back out into the station proper seeing all the men and women getting on and off of the various subway trains that were in the station. She looked back towards Adalene for a moment and leaned herself up against the wall and started to think for a moment.

"Spent a few days in there during the winter it was the warmest place I could think of." Emmie answered as she rubbed the back of her neck slightly. "And I usually liked to ride the trains, to going to other parts of the city." Emmie answered as she noticed Adalene was a bit pale. "Did you need to sit down for a little bit?" Emmie asked and then spotted a few vending machines nearby, and started to make her way over there, and pulled out some money from her pocket and bought two water bottles, before coming back and handed the other one towards her.

---

---

---

---

Scott stared at Jason, seeing red for a moment. But he knew that the kid was right - no one would miss him. He didn't have any close friends, mostly just people he knew through work. And even those who were encroaching into close friend territory, would they really be that upset if Scott died? His daughter didn't even know about him, so there would be no hardship there he was certain. "You're damn right no one would care. But I'm guessing you give a shit about your sister, right? So do as I say or you'll be holding a funeral service."

He then nodded slightly at Janelle, approving what she had said and forgetting that since she was blind, she couldn't see the nod. He then looked at Isley. "Portland. The whole city is weird, you'll blend in. And then I fly to Philadelphia and merc the son of a bitch. You move every day to a different place if you can."

---

---

---

---

Claire waited a little and soon enough Olivia appeared from the doorway. It brought a smile to her face as she saw the woman. Since that time they met and the following nice evening at the casino having fun, Claire had found herself bery busy and now there was the issue with shadowing a detective. That was also going to be really time consuming, especially since detectives could be required to show up at very weird times of the day sometimes." Can't complain, stuff has been getting busy at the station, but I'm managing." Claire replied to her friend and started to follow her inside the building.

"Thank you, I did make sure for it to be perfectly fitted." She smiled and nodded when she got a compliment about the uniform." Still prefer when I'm wearing a bulletproof vest though. It makes me appear more badass." She added with a small giggle. She was half joking, still following Olivia all the way to her place." So what did I miss while I was chasing down pathetic badguys today? Seriously a guy gave me the slip today cause he lucked out with a traffic light. Hopefully you two had better time."

---

---

---

---

"I see." Amelia replied quietly at Riley's statement. This was above and beyond her competence then. She was not a musician of any type, so she better leave the music talk to Riley and Fumiko and not get too involved in it. After all she couldn't be of any use in it. Better keep quiet. She took her drink and sipped a little from it. She had ordered a strong beer, but after calming her head down, she realized getting drunk wasn't going to help the powers situation. In fact it could only make it worse if she got wasted and lost all control. Or worse yet what if she got drunk and actively used the power then to do something bad? Thus she was still going to be drinking of the beer, but in small quantities for the moment.

When the waitress returned, despite Amelia's best efforts, she couldn't help, but give the woman the evil glance for a few moments. She then thought about what to order for actual food. After a quick decision she spoke up again." Just whatever's the special for the day." Was her reply. She didn't feel like ordering anything specific and her appetite had gone away quite a lot, but she knew it was better to eat than starve. And besides if they were going out for the evening,she would require all the energy she could get. Least of all so she could be of use should something goes wrong. Riley had her shield power, but Amelia knew hers was a lot more direct and problem solving, especially if someone was aiming for their lives. She still remembered that nightmare and the following news reports on the murder." So where... will we be going later actually?" She asked, she had agree to go out with them, but had no idea really about the clubs and the like iin the city.

---

"And those tours were totally awesome, dork." Fumiko responded back towards Riley as the girl mentioned never having recorded with somebody else before. Not long after, Amelia came back, getting a friendly wave and smile from Fumiko. Not long after their adorable waitress was back to take orders, Fumiko listening as Amelia placed her order before it was her own turn. "You know what? I'll do the special as well. Thanks!" She said in her usual cheery tone before going back to being distracted by her phone as the waitress moved onto Riley. So far this was an enjoyable little outing, if she had to say so herself.

Turning her attention then towards Amelia as she asked where they were going that night, Fumiko had to stop and think. "I'm not too sure yet. I know all the spots in New York, but I am definitely not from around here. Maybe Riley knows? I was thinking either a rather lively bar, or maybe we could hit one of the higher-end clubs. They've always got the good drinks, good music, and plenty of fun people to run into. How's that sound to you two? Any other suggestions?" She asked with a slight grin on her features, enjoying the talk about their plans for that night.

---

She wondered if they were the only ones actively doing something about all of this. She did not want to think about the sheer amount of people like them in New York alone, let alone the entire world. And what would they do about that fact? What about back in England? She drank more of her water before she put Jason's number in her phone. She sent off a quick text.



She put her phone down as Claire walked in. "Hey Claire. Not much, I just texted that guy to let him know. Hopefully we can find more. Other than that, it's been a pretty dull day."

---

---

---

---

Jason was getting really annoyed with Scott at this point, glaring at the guy. Though he did have a slight respect for the guy who just admitted that no one would care if he was gone. There wasn't much else he could do, but he was getting the jist of it, after all, psychopathic serial killer on the loose who likely would just love to see them all dead. That wasn't going to end well most likely, not well at all. "Whatever you say, not like we'll be able to keep moving around all the time. Not to mention, this guy seems to know who we all are, and what are the odds that you'll be able to take this guy out?"

"Be nice Jace... At least he's thinking about what to do about this entire situation..." Janelle muttered under her breath. This was a bit ridiculous in her mind, her brother picking a fight with someone who just wanted to help them was really annoying. She couldn't help but wonder even more why her brother was acting this way, or what went through his mind. His phone went off from a text message, and she wondered who was texting him now.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at the message. Hesitating, he just read it a few times in his mind, wonder what it was that they were going to do, so he decided to look up at the others and ask for their opinion. "Hey, just got a message from Quinn, she kind of just teleported into our house not too long ago, one of the reasons I was kicking Trevor out of our house so quickly because he couldn't see her for some reason. She's in New York, and she's with another group of people who are working on figuring out what to do about this guy... Says to call her if we've got questions or want to talk about it more..."

"Maybe you should call her, see what's going on with them? And probably let her know that the one responsible was here a few moments ago..." she said softly, thinking about the conversation that they had had with Quinn before. The woman seemed trustworthy for the most part, and it just made her wonder what they were going to do. Sure, Scott's plan seemed like a decent one, but Jace had a point, what were the odds that Scott wouldn't end up dead?

---

---

---

---

Adalene followed her out of the shadows, and nodded as Emmie confirmed her expectation. Life couldn't be easy for her as a homeless person in the city, and it showed a certain resilience that she'd toughed it out as long as she did. She smiled at Emmie's sentiment about train riding, she'd never quite found them too comfortable, too crowded for her taste. But she figured it was a pretty important tool for moving around the city, especially when you woke up and didn't know where you next meal was coming from.

She shook her head, and said, "I'm fine, but if you need a break, we can take one." She did, however, graciously take the water bottle from her. She cracked open the top, and drank about a quarter of it. She could looked around the terminal, trying to keep an eye out for anybody that might seek to pickpocket or steal from them. The subways weren't the safest place, especially for those wishing to keep their possessions to themselves.

Seattle, Washington

@BlueSky44 @Morose Isley stared at Scott for a moment as she started to think a bit and nodded slightly, she then looked towards Jace and Janelle as well. "I could get us a plane ticket, try calling this Quinn lady we could maybe try New York and maybe get some answers if at all possible from them?" Isley suggested as she looked towards Scott, and started to wonder if he was going to be joining them or not. "Why Philly anyway? I mean yeah it's an Eagles hat and all, but could have just bought it at some random store." Isley said crossing her arms over her chest sighing slightly.

---

---

---

---

"Quinn and I had some teleporty experiences a few minutes ago, she met some siblings, and I met this really grumpy guy who was a bit of an ass." Olivia answered Claire as she shrugged slightly, as soon as Claire was in Olivia locked the door and made her way over towards her dining room table. "Can I get you anything by the way?" Olivia asked looking over towards Claire, she smiled slightly remembering the night at the casino was pretty fun, as Olivia went to grab her computer. She then started to think a little bit more as Olivia sat down at the table.

When she heard about Claire losing a perp at the job was a bit surprising. "That does suck, though i'm sure you will be able to find him again, or someone else will at some point." Olivia said then started to take a drink from her water rubbing the back of her neck slightly. "So, anyone got ideas or theories on what is actually happening to us anyway?" Olivia asked.

---

---

---

---

Riley looked towards Amelia feeling a little bit bad for her friend since she didn't really know a thing about the music career, which did remind her that she should bring up about what would happen if she were to go on tour and Amelia having her apartment to herself. Though she did trust Amelia a lot as well, she then looked towards their waitress noticing the glare that Amelia had given her. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she didn't want to make her friend feel uncomfortable or anything either.

"I'll just have the special as well." Riley said towards her and smiled, as the waitress nodded and turned off to go and get their order set up. Riley then turned towards the two ladies as she started to think about it for a moment, she really didn't go out to, to many clubs herself either. As Riley thought for a moment or two. "I'd say hit some bars." She suggested looking towards Amelia for a moment, noticng that she ordered a beer as well. "Is everything alright?" Riley asked her friend.

---

---

---

---

"I could teleport around all day, it doesn't really take to much out of me." Emmie said shrugging slightly as she started to think a little bit as she looked around. "But we can ride the subway if you want totally up to you." Emmie said as she watched a subway train make a stop at the station to drop off it's next set of passengers. She looked over towards Adalene for a moment, they went past the pay booths to get in. "We can hop onto a train if you'd like though." Emmie told her, as she turned to watch the people getting off.

While Emmie was looking and a bit distracted Adalene would feel someone shove into her, when Adalene looked it was a younger kid around Emmie's age. He quickly started to run off, towards the closest subway train Adalene would quickly realize that she had her wallet taken from her.

---

"Some water will do fine, thank you." Claire replied with a calm charming smile to her friend and threw a look at Quinn. She pondered the info being given and nodded." That's the best possible course of action indeed. I was trying to run some data on this, but couldn't locate anything more than what was publically avaible on the murders, but that said it's also cause I wasn't really able to get into proper research yet. Busy couple of days."

"Bad attitude is still better than murder..." She commented and besides some of the bad attitude people usually turned to be pretty decent when you could read minds... all those insecurities, just begging to be abused and have them pulled like strings on a puppet. She let a sly devilish smile wander on her face as she was thinking about it, but soon enough regained her charming smile." Evolution, virus, solar radiation, magic, the infinite power of Jimi Hendrix... frankly it could be anything. But the fact there's usually a period where we all got sick means something probably changed into our bodies. Anyways... you two had that creepy doctor scientist/researcher wanabe visi you? Been searching for excuse to cause him problems." The cop stated with flat voice." Didn't like his attitude and self rightous mug."

"Also for the next while I might either have more free time or less depending on the situation. So contacting me might be harder. Some changes at work are happening and I'm being temporary assigned to shadow a detective. Will see if I can use his access to grab some info on the murders the police may have hidden."

---

---

---

---

All three of them ended ordering the special which was just a tad funny in Amelia's mind. It wasn't unusual for that to happeen, but she didn't quite expecting her casually saying that to lead to Riley and Fumiko doing the same. Now there were going to be e3 same meals on the table. She was just sipping a lil from her beer still though. She nodded ay Fumiko's suggestion.' Well she doesn't have a plan really in that case...' Was what she concluded. After all it was more of a general outline. Still she supposed they probably at least had good places in mind.

Riley seconded the bars idea and Amelia nodded." Alright, bars got it." She stated quietly and threw a glance at Riley who asked if she was fine." Yeah, I feel better already, Riley. Don't worry." Amelia reassured her roomie with a tiny smile, her eyes glancing around them in cautious manner before returning to her drink and checking the time on her phone. It was old and she had it wrapped on the sides with insulating tape just in case. She could never be too careful with her power. She was especially careful now at home cause all the electronics Riley had were really costly, so she made sure to not get too close to anything off too good of importance." Question... if we are going to a bar... How do we slip the paparazi that would be usually camping you two outside Riley's home?" Now that was a good question she wanted to hear the answer to. If paparazi followed to the bars it would be unpleasant.

Scott was about to tear Jace a new one. He was a bit surprised the kid was still alive. He didn't seem to have common sense. This wasn't some sort of drill or a cute little scavenger hunt or an epic game of hide and seek - this was real life. This was kill or be killed. If he wanted to live and if he wanted Janelle to live, then Jace would need to step up and start figuring out solutions rather than problems. Of course, as soon as Scott thought that Jace opened his mouth and gave a solution that made Scott sick.

"How do we know one of her group isn't the one doing this?" Scott pointed out. He didn't trust anyone - he was barely tolerating trusting the kids and Isley, mostly because he doubted any of them had it in them to hurt and betray one another. He then looked back at Isley and rolled his eyes. "No one supports the eagles unless they're from Philly - that team sucks," he explained. "And no one is going to New York damn it! It's probably a motherfucking trap! Do you really think it's a coincidence that after I shoot at the son of a bitch, you get a text saying to come to New York?!"

Quinn listened to Claire who seemed to have had her own adventures and theories on what was going on and she was impressed. She thought along those same lines too. "I'm still waiting to hear back from him but I agree. I mean we are already connected due to all of us having some power of sorts. It could be an innate power we have where we are all connected and can teleport. But so far we don't have control over it. We also don't physically teleport and no one else but those with powers can see us. It could be a defense mechanism? In order for us to warn others and protect ourselves."

"And no, haven't met this creepy researcher. What has he asked for?" That made Quinn worry a bit more. If some scientist researcher type wanted to look into them, whether or not he knew of their abilities, it still made her fear what she had always done. That she would be taken into some lab and experimented on. She would not have that.

Hit some bars? Was Riley to suffocate her? How were you supposed to enjoy a night out with the girls without hitting at least one club? Fumiko didn't know, but she supposed she would be finding out soon enough. She gave a simple nod as she listened to the two talk for a bit. Rather enjoying the silence on her end and hearing them be nice and simple. It was almost reassuring in a way, to know that there was still some sense of normal to be had even in her strange life. Certainly with the weird event that had happened rather recently to her, leaving her body like that. It was certainly something she hoped she would not have to repeat anytime in the near future. For a moment she debated asking Riley about it, just letting it off her chest. But she talked herself down from it, not wanting her friend to think she had gotten into drugs or lost her mind.

Focusing back on what the two were saying, she pondered for a moment on Amelia's question about the paparazzi. They would grow to be a bit of a pain throughout the night if they kept following the trio around. It would certainly prevent her from having any sort of actual fun while out. Afterall the last thing she wanted was some scandalous image that sweaty no-life took while she was distracted and drunk biting her in the ass. Worse, if something happened that wound up coming back around on Riley or Amelia, then Fumiko would've felt absolutely awful. Unfortunately for the two with her, the media was desperate for some scandal or another. Regardless of how innocent these two might be, the paparazzi would find a way to bring them down with her. After a bit of deliberation, Fumiko spoke up. "I could call my head of security. He's got a good team and could probably keep them off us?" She offered in a kind tone.
