Sienna’s POV
Sienna ignored Alec, straining her powers against the cuffs to try and mentally reach out to Opal. She had no idea if it would work, but it was worth a try. ”Sweetheart, it’s okay.”

Winston’s POV
“You can stay as long as you’d like.” Winston already knew there was no way he was going to let Remedy back out onto the streets to suffer, but he also knew the boy needed to feel as though he had the freedom to do as he chose after being alone for so long. “You’ve been a real angel so far. I sure won’t mind if you wanna stay afterwards.”
Alecs POV
Alec tapped Mirages shoulder, “Hey, she’s harmless now, do you want her?”
Opals POV
Opal stiffened at Pasitheas words slipping into her head. Thank you Pasithea, and I’m sorry that I lead them here, even if I didn’t mean to.
Anthony's POV
Anthony's body went rigid. "I thought I told you not to coddle me," he answered flatly. His face hardened as he approached the couch and sat down, ignoring Samuel and Don's pleas for attention.
Ae-Ri's POV
Ae-Ri turned, slightly startled by the abrupt gesture. "Don't touch me," she growled, beckoning to Flicker, who was hovering above their heads. "And yes, I want her. Thanks."
Alecs POV
Alec put his hands up on mock surrender. “Geez, you keep acting like that and you’ll never find love.” He teased
Sienna’s POV
I forgive you, although I am rather pissed off, I must admit. Sienna relaxed a little, pleased she could still reach Opal. Forgive my language, but your friend is a prick.
Winston’s POV
“I ain’t coddlin’ you.” Winston protested, scooting over to give Remedy some room. “I could use an extra hand ‘round here since my Ma’s always out. I’ll teach you how to pull you’re own weight. You can help me fix up the place.” He offered, trying to discreetly coax Anthony into staying for as long as possible.
Ae-Ri's POV
Ae-Ri's mouth formed the shape of a snarl. "Don't talk to me like that, Outlet. Now, get out of my sight before I reconsider our deal and capture you a second time.
Anthony's POV
"I know how to pull my own weight," he responded defensively, clenching and unclenching his fists. "But yes, I'll help. As long as you don't go all soft and mushy on me."
Opals POV
Opal giggled at Pasitheas statement, but she hoped everyone would attribute it to Alecs joke. Shes better once you get to know her. Opal assured her.
Winston’s POV
“Soft an’ mushy? Y’all haven’t even seen me get soft and mushy!” Winnie protested, glowing a bit brighter out of embarrassment. “I’ll teach you how to cook and patch up leaks. The stuff you don’t know quite yet.”
Alec’s POV
Alec laughed. “Mhm, I think I’m gonna stick around actually, this is the most fun I’ve had in a long time.” He looked around, and on a nearby counter found a wrapped, untouched, burrito. He grabbed it an dropped a handful of coins in its place.
Sienna’s POV
I’d love to agree, but strangely I’m not feeling too trusting at the moment. She paused a moment, thinking. If you find out Outlet’s full name, let me know. I’d rather enjoy messing with him a bit.
Opals POV
I’ll try. Opal messages, turning to Ae-Ri. “Do you know Outl- the crazy guys actual name?”
Anthony's POV
"Fine, fine.." he muttered and averted his eyes. "But you need to stop treating me like I'm a wounded animal in need of your help. I'm older than you, for god's sakes!"
Ae-Ri's POV
Ae-Ri slipped a chain from a pouch at her belt, clipped it carefully to the front of Pasithea's handcuffs, and pressed the button on the side of her helmet as she led both her and Opal to the doors. "This is Mirage, reporting in. Pasithea is in my hands. Broadcast is safe."
Winston’s POV
“I’ll stop tomorrow. We had a real long day, an’ I know you’re more tired than you’re actin’…” Winnie looked Remedy up and down, his eyes filled with worry. “Tomorrow you can start bossin’ me around first thing in the mornin’. But you gotta give me tonight.”
Sienna’s POV
Thank you, Opal. She rollled her eyes as she felt Ae-Ri chain her. I can’t believe she’s leashing me like a mutt.
Opal POV
Yeah, I’m sorry about that. Opal replied as Ae-Ri was finishing talking with HQ before asking again.
Anthony's POV
"Fine," the healer practically growled, pushing a hand through his hair. "Fine, yes, you can have tonight. And, for the record, the day wasn't long by my standards. If you think I'm tired now, give it a few months."
Ae-Ri's POV
"Yeah.." Ae-Ri muttered as they emerged into the street, careful not to make any contact with Pasithea's bare skin. "I'll tell you later."
Opal POV
“Alright,” Opal said, slightly dejected. Sorry, I tried, she didn’t answer though, but she said she would tell me later.
Winston’s POV
Winston broke out into a brilliant smile, getting up and heading into his room. He came back out momentarily with a comb. “Comb through it while its still damp. It’ll be silky tomorrow. Feels good, you’ll like it.” He dropped the comb on Remedy’s lap.
Sienna’s POV
Tell me later then, it’s alright. Sienna soothed. Im trusting you to make sure nothing terrible happens to me, darling.
Anthony's POV
Anthony stared down at the comb as if he had never seen one before, an expression of total bafflement crossing his face. "Do I just…..?" He made a vague brushing gesture with one hand. "Or do I brush the other way?"
Winston’s POV
“Can I start you off and show you how?” Winston asked tentatively, unsure of Remedy would permit him to come that close.
Opals POV
Opal smiled. Alright, I’ll do my best to help you, Pasithea. I promise.
Alec finished ‘his’ burrito, “Whew, that was good.”
Anthony's POV
Anthony flinched away from the other boy, shaking his head firmly. After a short pause, he tossed the comb over to him. "Show me on your own head."
Winston’s POV
Winnie nodded, catching the comb. He demonstrated how to brush through his hair with the comb a couple times before holding it out for Remedy to take. “Think you got it? Also there’s an unopened toothbrush in the bathroom you can use before you go to bed tonight.”
