Mandy read the message from her father, her stomach twisted a little. "We will as soon as we can. There was a small situation. We are fine, but a man is hurt and we are waiting for medical personnel to arrive." She texted back to him. Her cousin's tap drew her attention and her stomach twisted more. She didn't want to, but she took a step away from the man.

A small thing of appreciation and pride welled in her heart as she realized her cousin had told her first. He spoke to the others, and the few words she caught on his lips were the same as the ones he had told her. It was such a small thing. But it was rare. Normally in mixed groups the hearing people learned about things first. She loved her cousin a little more for that small gesture. He may not even realize what he had done, and for that she loved him even more.

"Strawberry sounds good." Andy smiled. "Let's go do something else now. This has been a nice breather, but I'm ready for real exercise." Andy said, unfolding herself. Enough wallowing. She didn't like to spend too much time thinking about stuff like this. That was part of why she didn't like birthdays.

As she stood and let the blood flow through her limbs again Andy wished for things to go back to when she had first come to camp. She liked Stella, so she quickly squashed that wish. But to gain Stella's friendship she had lost so many others. Was that a fair trade? Andy hadn't been happier before camp. Camp was honestly the happiest she had ever been, but that had been before the quests.

Niah didn't know if she liked that sentencing. It was frustrating that death was not an option. Having Leandra loose in the world seemed like a dangerous choice. However, other than keeping her a prisoner they had little recourse.

She looked at Nancy and gave a small nod of agreement. Her face was set into stone, her lips slightly downturned in displeasure. There had to be a better option but one didn't come to mind. If they could block her from consorting with monsters and gods, it might be a more apt punishment. Force the Mist to cloud her. An Oath, though she was already a proven Oathbreaker, one that bound her tight enough might keep her from further damaging things.

"I suggest we have her swear a new oath that will cause great harm if she breaks it. It would be an Oath of non-aggression. If we let her loose she may still find allies that are not from New Rome."

Andy didn't know how to answer that question. She didn't know what would happen, but Zari seemed sure that Mary Sue would be fine, especially after she was healed. That reassured Andy. They still had to deal with the copies of themselves, and now the adults who wanted to call their parents. Andy wasn't concerned with parental opinion on the matter. Andy had done exactly what her mother would want her to do. She had killed someone.

It wasn't the first time Andy had killed. It was the first time she had used her vampirism power to do it. She knew that some shift had happened inside her now. Control would be harder to maintain.

Andy wasn't certain how Magento would respond to the situation, and that was alright. She didn't think he'd punish her or anything like the others seemed to be concerned about. He wasn't overprotective. Honestly, she would be surprised if he acknowledged it. She did worry that if he did decide to acknowledge it and came to the school or something like that the truth about where...or rather when she came from would get out. Who all knew she was from the past? She had kept it a secret as best as she could. Magento knew, Zari's parents knew, and obviously her mother. Likely Agatha knew, guessing from the reading she had given. But Agatha wasn't at the school anymore so that wasn't an issue.

Of all things, the most surprising was that none of the adults were mentioning the double Mary Sue's in the room. She suspected as soon as double Andy and Zari's came up the stairs it'd be a different matter.

Andy sat on the beach and pulled her legs in close wrapping her arms around her knees. She put her chin on top of her knees. "I want you there, and Stella, and my brother." Who else was she friends with? "Marygold, and Zeke." She added. There were others she wanted there, but they were dead, like Leda and Ash.

"After we get Mads, she is invited too. And I know she'll want her friends so Nancy and Niah." That felt good. "If we can...if he can...I want Arthur there too." She finally said. She had no idea if he could. She hadn't heard from him.

"As for cake," She said pivoting. "I don't really know. I haven't had cake much. What's your favorite?" She asked Stella. Andy had eaten a few cakes at other parties over the years, but it had been a long time.

Some tension left Niah's shoulders, but it seemed to build in her stomach, which twisted around. Why had Leandra pivoted? She didn't know. Niah was fine with sentencing Leandra, ending this whole thing, though she wondered how the prophecies with her would handle the change. What would happen?

"No objections." Niah said officially. God, she wanted this to end. She wanted them to move on, and save Mads, and go home. She wanted things back the way they were before New Rome fell. It would never be that way again and she knew it. For now she had to get through this until they found a new way to be normal.

Mandy nodded as Hannah translated. Okay, that made sense. Had the woman been bit? "Ask if she's been bit." She told Hannah and looked at the man checking on him again.

"Hermes, tell the operator what happened. Ask them what we need to do." She was getting scared. Was this what Hermes thought it was? Were they doomed? End times? Mandy wished her parents were there. She pulled out her phone and sent her dad a text.

"Stay inside. Do not go outside for any reason. It is crazy out here. I'll be home ASAP. But there was an accident, we weren't involved, but we saw it. So we are helping."

Ed was keeping back from Mary. He wished he could be there at her side, but understood that Guin was a closer friend to her. He nodded at Jean's suggestion. Then He started focusing on how best to set up a shield. Setting it around just Mary wouldn't be the best approach.

The team would need individual protection, or he would have to smother fire or plants. The latter would likely be harder. It would be much easier to keep track of the members of the group over all the potential hazards in the Garden.

If Mary attacks, Ed will bubble anyone in danger, focusing first on those closest to Mary.

Mandy's eyes went wide and she stepped back away from the man. Hermes was telling her that the CDC said to avoid people who had bites on them and this man did. She looked at Hannah, hoping the teen would ask the woman some questions, like what happened? She felt useless. She hated this. She wanted to converse, she needed information and this situation was dangerous.

She raised her hands, palm toward her chest and pulled them slowly away, telling her cousin to breathe. Then she turned to Hannah, "Ask what happened, before the accident." God she wished there was a proper interpreter there.

Andy appreciated that her friends wanted to do something for her birthday. However, she didn't want to even acknowledge its passing. She shifted, pressing against Chocolate. Could she balance quietly ignoring her birthday and her friends wanting to celebrate it? Why celebrate birthdays anyway? All they marked was another year, New Years was better for that.

"I don't know." She finally said after a few moments of silence. "I don't hate the idea of a small gathering, but I don't want to be the center of attention for everyone. I don't want a song. I don't want a lot of people." It was hard to limit who could be there. She knew she'd want her brother and Aunt (if they got her back). But really she wanted Arthur there.

The anger that radiated from Nancy was almost palpable. And Niah didn't blame her for it. She shifted uncomfortable as she realized she wasn't getting Oath Breaker from Leandra...were they wrong? She focused again on the woman, not daring to trust her first instinct.

If she found that Leandra hadn't broken her oath to Rome...what would that mean? Everything would change. Could Niah lie - and say she had broken the oath just to keep the peace? If she didn't sense a broken oath...was Leandra guilty? If she wasn't guilty of Oak Breaking what had happened? With Leandra's tongue removed it would be harder to get the full story. Niah's stomach twisted.

Then it was there. The oil slick feeling. The crack in the pavement. A hot spot in cool water. Explaining how Oath Breaking felt was hard to do correctly. It is like when a tooth has work done on it. The tooth is still there, but it feels different, wrong. And Leandra felt like that.

The twit in her stomach went away and the fear that maybe they were wrong dissipated. Leandra had broken an Oath.

Mandy didn't interact with hearing people often outside of controlled settings. She was used to an interpreter being there at school or events. Sure she lived in the world where most people were hearing, but her parents' friends were Deaf and their children, her own friends, had been Deaf or CODA who all knew ASL. How was she supposed to reassure someone who had just been hit by a car? She didn't sound right when she spoke and she knew that from how hearing people had reacted to her growing up.

Hannah was talking though and that made her feel better. Hermes was on the phone. Neither were signing, both were talking. But that was okay, normally she'd be irritated. This situation was different though. Hannah wasn't much of a signer and Hermes was only a little better. He had most learned from struggled conversations over the last few years. He had tried though, which was better than some people she knew.

All of these thoughts had passed through Mandy's mind, though she didn't dwell on any of them. She focused on the man and tried to smile reassuringly. Fear kept her from touching him. Even without a weird disease that might cause cannibalism, she didn't work with humans. She knew the anatomy of a human and how biology worked, those had been required classes and while she hadn't been a straight-A student she had done well. There were other blood-borne contaminations to think of, and Mandy did not have gloves.

Andy was able to dodge shards of glass and other debris. But she was still soaked. However, the two Mary Sue's got hit hard. She wondered if her own copy down below in the basement was hearing these noises and wondering what was happening. By now they had probably killed Usagi and would be heading up the stairs.

"Zari, get one of the Mary Sue's I'll get the other and we have to get to our past selves and close the loop. We can't deal with both of these issues." She yelled over the din of Leah and April.

"Come on," Andy said to the lesser injured of the two Mary Sues. She didn't want to have to touch her if she could avoid it, but she was ready to help her if necessary. It helped that they were both in their framework outfits still and that covered a significant amount of their skin so she hoped she could avoid skin-to-skin contact. With Mary Sue, Andy started to move to the edge of the room farther away from the swirling water and debris that marked where April was.
