"B-because I'm different. I'm… I'm not fully human," Malachi replies, tears beginning to fill his eyes.
(Oh shoot I rhymed)

(lol) Kaz's expression softened a little. "Hey, it's ok. Don't cry. I'm not human either," he said softly

Malachi rubs at his eyes, mentally cursing himself for crying.
"You wanted to know where my parents were, right…?" he started, taking a deep breath, both to calm himself down from crying and to keep calm with the truth.
"My mother doesn't want me anymore. Says I'm an abomination… And my father… He's unable to care for me with the position he's in."

Kaden groaned and rolled his eyes. "Oh boo hoo. Your mama doesn't want you. That doesn't mean you should cry about it. It'll get you nowhere. So suck it up." He said.

"Jesus, you sound like you've got daddy issues too," Kaz scoffed. He turned back to Malachi. "Hey, it's ok. My dad's dead, but my mom's still around. She's not the biggest fan of me though, but at least she tries."

"No, I prefer to be the daddy" (Wink wink) He said and rolled his eyes. "I didn't ask for your sob stories. Now if we could get going, or lets say split, that would be best."

(lol) Kaz went a tiny bit red, clearing his throat. "Okay, well. There's a safehouse a block or so from here where we can wait for the patrols to stop. They'll be going all night from the looks of it."

;) Kaden scowled. "Fine, let's go then. Lead the way." He gestured with his hand. He glanced around at the people looking for them, or whatever they were looking for.

Kaz hopped up, making his way out of the pitch blackness of the alley. He gave his motorcycle a glance, resolving to leave it hidden until they found the safehouse. He started to walk, past the broken streetlamp and several graffiti-covered buildings

Kaden followed last, his knife in his hand. He was watching the shadows, the open, the roofs, waiting for something, anything.

Kaz glanced back at Kaden. "Would you please put the knife away? I'd rather you don't trip and stab yourself, thanks."

He rolled his eyes. "My knife might be the only thing that keeps you alive." He growled.

"I'm perfectly capable of keeping myself alive with or without your little toy," Kaz hissed. They continued to walk for a block or so before stopping in front of what looked like an abandoned building. "Here we are."

"You say that now, but you'll be thinking differently when I save your ass." He hissed back. He looked at the building they stopped at. he pushed open the door, knife raised.

Instead of being dingy and disused, the inside of the building was more of a hidden bar. There was quiet rock music playing in the background, and a few people were scattered throughout the room. It was bigger than it looked, and a man in a suit who didn't quite look human stood behind the bar counter cleaning glasses. It was warmly lit, and Kaz smiled a little. "Welcome to one of the last safehouses for the 'gifted' in the city."

//should I show up

Kaden only lowered his knife after scooping out the place and deeming it safe. He tucked his knife into his jeans waist pants. "Could you get any more cliche?" He asked sarcastically.

(yeah you can show up now lol) Kaz scowled at him. "Could you be any more of a dick?"

"I can show it to you if that's what you want." Kaden smirked.

Chandra looked up from where she sat in a brightly lit corner, seeing Kaz. (Pretending they know each other since they’re both ‘regulars’ of a sort?) “Hey!” She waved.

Kaz rubbed at his eyes. "First of all, children present," he said, pointing at Malachi. "Second of all, buy me a drink first," he chuckled awkwardly

(that works lol) Kaz turned around. "Oh, uh. Hey Chandra," he said, waving a little at her

“Who are your friends? You brought a kid here?”

He shrugged. "We could always take it to another room." He took a seat on one of the bar stools. He looked around.

Kaz sighed. "He's a dick," he said, pointing at Kaden, "and this guy got abandoned," he said, pointing at Malachi

“This is a bar,” she rolled her eyes.

"I know, but it's also a safehouse," Kaz grumbled, sliding into a bar stool next to Kaden

"Anyone want a drink?" He asked the people in the room/bar/safe house.

Kaz gave him a look. "Are you trying to buy everybody here a drink? And here I thought you hit on one person at a time," he scoffed. He turned to the bartender, a tan man with dark eyes. "Can the kid get a glass of water for now? Put it on the tab."

He chuckled. "I'll buy you a drink if that's what you want darling." He smirked.
