Kaitlin nodded, “I-I wish I could drive.” She said, opening the door to the passenger side and sat down, glad to be able to sit.

"Maybe I'll teach you some day," Brooke replied, hopping in the driver's seat and breathing a sigh of relief and comfort.

“Yeah, maybe.” Kaitlin said quietly, buckling herself in and rested her head on the glass. Her eyes started fluttering shut and she tried to keep them open.

Brooke placed her hand on Kaitlin's shoulder. "Hey. Sleep if you need. I don't mind."

Kaitlin looked over at Brooke, “Are you sure? Because I can stay awake if you need me too…” She tried and failed to stifle a yawn.

"Just tell me where we're going and then sleep."

“She was last seen on the outside of the city, like I said, two days drive from here. That’s out best bet at the moment…”

"Alrighty then. You sleep, and I'll drive for a few hours then join you. It's getting late."

Kaitlin nodded and rested her head against the window, falling asleep pretty quickly.

Nibbling on her lower lip, she didn't know how safe she felt simply hiding in a couple of boxes. Orion seemed a bit self doubtful and giddy all at once. She wanted to accept but felt she needed more information before giving the man her full trust.
"It's… alright. Just one question. How in the hell are we going to hide from all those officers hunting magic users such as myself, hm?"

Orion dips his head in acknowledgement of her concerns, and his eyes dim. "We hide, and if worse comes to worse…" Trailing off, he lowers his gaze. "Then we fight. For survival and freedom." Pausing for a moment, his tone of voice drops. "You should know that blood can make me snap. I like it. A lot."

Lata was about to agree until his final comment. Way to go from 1 to 100, sir.
"Listen. I appreciate you wanting to help… Orion was it? But I'd appreciate keeping my blood inside me, thanks," she said, standing up to her full height. It was still nowhere near as tall as the man in front of her was. In fact, he could probably take her arm and force her to come with him if he was fast enough.

"Sort of?" Indigo responded looking at her open locket. Maybe she should relax for a bit, "I'm just trying not to get caught."

“I’m Axel.” He said climbing out of the box

Indigo offered him a hand, “Indigo. Pleasure to meet you.”

Kenzi ran for her life gathering things as quickly as possible. Being outside was dangerous, especially for a long period of time. "All I need is food." She hid the blankets in an alleyway and head to a smell gas station. The bell rang as she walked in, her eyes looked all over. No one but her and the cashier were in the store. Grabbing as many things as possible, such as sandwiches, fruit, and dog food for Shay, anything that was healthy and set them on the counter. "Could you bag these?" The young boy scanned them and then bagged them, setting all her stuff on the counter. "That will be 27.50." Kenzi gave him her best small before grabbing the bags and jetting out the door. "Hey!" He ran after her. There was no way he was going to catch up though. She grabbed the blankets and headed to her alley with the entrance to her hide out.

Eden was sitting on top of a building that overlooked the alley. She had her eyes closed, deep in meditation.

Lata was about to agree until his final comment. Way to go from 1 to 100, sir.
"Listen. I appreciate you wanting to help… Orion was it? But I'd appreciate keeping my blood inside me, thanks," she said, standing up to her full height. It was still nowhere near as tall as the man in front of her was. In fact, he could probably take her arm and force her to come with him if he was fast enough.

Orion seems happy that she remembers his name, though his gaze once again drops at her comment. "I see. I just thought that if we were supposed to work together that I wouldn't keep life altering secrets from you. It was not my intention to scare you. A papercut won't trigger me, but a mortal wound might. I apologise for coming off strong." Hoping that Lata will understand, he looks to her earnestly.

Knowing that the government had found her out just moments ago, without at least somewhere to hide, she would be caught with ease. Looking up at Orion, she gave a nod, walking slowly towards him.
"I'm in," she said with a serious expression. Lata was trusting a total stranger with her life. Then again, it wouldn't be totally different from adoption which was literally commitment to going home with strangers. Based on a single meeting.

"Guys, I'm back." Her breath was heavy as she jumped off the ladder. "What did I say about the bag in your mouth." Cuppy mumbled. "I have to go back out. It's time to find some people to join us." Kenzi climbed up the ladder. "Enjoy the food. I'll be back later."

(Do they know each other yet or is Kenzi going to recruit her when they meet?)

(Probably heard of each other, but never met)

Eden opened her eyes. She slung her backpack over her shoulder. She jumped down the 3 story building, rolling into a somersault before running away towards a different block.

Kenzi ran around, staying cautious. "Kezni." Her ear piece went off in her ear. "Is it working?" Cuppy has been working on and ear piece for everyone. Thank goodness he is got with technology. "Yes, it's working." Not paying attention to where she was going, when she turned the corner she ran into someone knocking herself down.

Eden stumbled to the ground after running into the other girl. Eden quickly got up. Instantly, her spear was out and pointed down to the other girl.

"Whoa." She held her arms up. "Chill." Her hand grabbed the shadow of the building and her spear appeared as well. "I can do the same." Kenzi didn't point it at her though. Light huh? "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

WIth a solemn nod, Orion accepts Lata coming near him. Though as soon as she had said yes, his face had lit up with a smile. Nodding his head towards the entrance to the alley, he speaks, tone low. "We should get going. Search parties will be sent out soon enough. I know a little hole in the wall place, we can eat there." Humming a bit to himself, he walks half a step in front of her, so any things that tried to get to her would go through him.

Eden lowered her spear. Shadows? “Sorry. I’ve been jumpy lately.” She looked around for any sign of authorities.

"Ah, its fine." Kenzi stood to her feet quickly. "When shouldn't be out in the open like this." Her spear disappeared and she moved into a move secluded area. "What are you doing out here?" Most people like them were in hiding, it was rare to see one out in the open.

"Sort of?" Indigo responded looking at her open locket. Maybe she should relax for a bit, "I'm just trying not to get caught."

“I’m Axel.” He said climbing out of the box

Indigo offered him a hand, “Indigo. Pleasure to meet you.”

“So, do you for them?” He asked warily

(Idk yet maybe we can call them something. Maybe either Tides or Fractures?)

"What?" Inigo looked at her current appearance and put the puzzle together, "No! No way! I hate the government. This guy was just present and easy to copy."

“Oh so that’s your power.” He said. “Where do you stay?” He asked.

Azalea put down her screwdriver and whooped in joy. Her hybrid headset was working!

"Wherever," Indigo responded. The mimic was starting to become uncomfortable. She never had liked mimicking the other gender, but it had to be done sometimes.

“What do you look like?” He asked
