Unlikely Heroes

:D Morning all!
._. Oooops I guess I totally missed the bit about there only bei g two guns. Anyhow... a collab would be exciting. I am worried it may be slow tho.

Unlikely Heroes

Callie was the last to arrive. She skidded to a stop at the mouth of the alley. How odd? The rest were just standing there. Sensing it would be in her best interest to remain low-profiled, the woman edged towards the others. She ended up behind Ester and it didn’t take her long to realize they were in deep shit.

She continued staring dumbly and her survival instincts kicked. Even though she appeared calm on the outside, her mind was frantically searching for an answer. She can't figure out why the men were so hostile. There had to be a reason! Clearly, blaming the fed was the last thing on her mind. Not that she hadn't noticed Tom earlier, but nothing clicked.

Noticing Ester hugging herself, the stewardess wrapped her arms round the shivering woman. "Yes. I think it's best we leave."

She hoped the latter was okay, because frankly, the woman didn’t look too good. As Cal unconsciously reached for Ester’s hand, her fingers brushed against something icy cold. The shock made her exclaim loudly as she let go.

Seconds later a shot was fired. Luckily, the bullet zipped pass, but it was enough to startle Callie. C-crap! The man was still aiming at that them and the only source of cover was the huge dumpster way back. There was no telling how many people will be hit by the time they get there.

I must do something…

She felt sick to the stomach, but she refused to be intimidated. Taking a deep breath, she did the only thing she could think of – Cal yelled loudly. “Run!”

Instead of turning around like she hoped the rest were doing, the blonde charged forward while trying to keep as low as possible. Then Callie leaped in front in an attempt to tackle the man. As she fell forward she could have sworn she heard the other two guns go off.

Cuttersbury: Drych Lake Spa – Dock

“Prune? Ha! I dunno… the water is actually nice.”

Jett remained bobbing for a while more as he gave Nani a teasing grin. Of course he was pulling her leg! He was ready to get out. Anything fun would be awesome! Frankly he can’t wait to see why the Gramps sounded so excited. The man seemed practically invigorated.

“Did you hear that?”

He froze with one leg perched on the edge of the pier and the other dangling in mid-air. The voice was clearly female, and Jett could have sworn it was Ms. Estelle. Odd, she didn’t seem like the type to be so easily startled. Was that giant spikey mole thing back?

The novice jumped to his feet and grabbed his stuff unceremoniously. “Lead the way, Gramps!”

“Oh never mind! Sign’s just ahead.”

Cuttersbury: Drych Lake Spa

The rookie sprinted into the lobby. His wet feet slipped and felt himself pitching backwards. The young man flailed around till he regained his balance. He stood still with his hands pressed against his knees. Gosh! The floors are slippery.

As he pulled up, a few drops of water from his wet hair trickled into his eyes. Everything went blurry. Annoyed Jett wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. It was then he realized why there were two doors. His eyes grew bigger and a faint blush crept up his cheeks.

“Uh…”

Now this is a real problem. One side said Ladies and the other gents. Hell, no! He wasn’t gonna step into the female side. Nope. Nada. He didn’t want to be called a pervert again. Thankfully, he heard familiar squawk – that was Captain! The Guilder whirled around so violently that his shirt and belt flew from his arms. They smacked against the locker before sliding onto the floor.

“Nani! Boy am I glad to see you. I … can’t enter.”

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Ran remained quiet as the rest of the humans talked. Somehow he was glad his little speech went largely unnoticed. He chuckled as he continued tickling Cobalt. The whole thing seemed rather odd to him. Try as he might, Ran still can't figure out why the so-called Hooded Figures (aptly named considering their wardrobe) would actually go through such an elaborate scheme. It almost seemed like they were genuine about it. Almost.

"What do you think Tobs? I don't mind giving them a chance.. I just don't buy the whole bunny guard story."

He paused and then grinned slightly before putting on a serious face again. "Actually, it's kinda believable. Like one of those amnesia plot twist in mangas. Only difference is that we'll turn into something cute."

Trying to be too serious was a little hard, after all he and Toby hadn't experienced what the rest did. Respectfully he continued listening. He wouldn't mind adding these people into the group if the rest didn't. Neither he nor Toby were around long enough to know much. Everything boils down to what Harper and Riley feel.

"I'm fine with them joining us, but only if they return the USB."

He shrugged. "They can hold on to the Witch's Heart if it makes them feel safer."

That was the other item this bunch stole from the others - or so he heard. A loud scrapping sound made him turn his attention back to the bespectacled Inadi. He watched the younger man move closer to Jasper. Ran studied the couple for several seconds before looking back at the baby dragon now curled round him. While he could guess at the frustration Inadi was probably feeling, he believed Jasper would do a much better job at comforting the young man. She was Inadi's girlfriend after all.

The human gratefully sat down on an outstretched claw. His mind began drifting back to those lazy days in Aven. He thought about how he and Toby would blunder around messing up the chores. Finally his mind stopped at one memory in particular. His face fell a little.

"Do you remember the day you found me checking out Colby's scales?" He asked Ise.

He began tracing one of the many scales gently with his fingers. He knew his memory wasn't great, but it was quite uncomfortable to forget the little odd bits here and there. His car plate license, the exact font type and words on the signs near his New York apartment, the name of his neighbor's tortoise shell cat... most disconcerting of all... the faces of his workplace acquaintances. Even though he could still visualize their clothing right down to the last stitch, their faces were blurry.

At least he still remembered the faces of those he is closer too. Friends, former schoolmates, project members, distant relatives and his family. He could roughly remember how to cook too, so that was good. He wrecked his brain. Oh! He was starting to forget the names of the more obscure shades.

His finger rested on black scale with a blue hue. "I know I told you the name of this particular blue hue before. I just can't remember it now."

The illustrator shook his head in disbelief. "I would be sad the day I forget the terms periwinkle, auberinge, carmine, crimson, mustard, sunglow..."

"You know, Ise. Toby! Maybe we should have that cooking session sooner? I want to make you my croquette pies before I forget how to do it!" He exclaimed in an attempt to brighten up the gloom.

He then wrapped an arm around the Toby and Ise. He pulled them into hug. Ran gave them a wink. Nothing would be happier than having their little trio reunite...

The Midnight Train to Nowhere
