Dani turned to Ace. "I actually have some glasses of my brother's in my room. Hold on let me get them." She ran into her room and came back out with some glasses. "These should work."

(poor Macha's been left hanging with her question lol)

Macha suppressed a laugh as Rhea came out of he room, having just woken up from a nap. She could tell that she was teasing Ace too, in her own silent way, from the mischievous light in her eyes. Immensely glad for Josh's arrival, as he seemed to be cheering Ana up, Macha opened her mouth to ask Dani another question. "Could I please have two extra mattresses for Rhea to sleep on?"

Then she walked over to Josh and Ana. She put a hand on Josh's shoulder. "Tomorrow I will give you guys a basic training course. And Josh is right. Most of the agents here don't have powers."

“Oh uh…o-okay…Um..what’s in the basic training?” She asked. That was probably a dumb question to ask. God why was she so stupid? Now she embarrassed herself in front of everyone no doubt.

Dani finally turned to Macha. "I'll ask for mattresses right away." She walked over to a small speaker by the door. "Karen I need two extra mattresses down here. Ok they're on their way. And what happens next is that I train you guys. Including Josh and Ana. You might already know how to fight, but you need to learn more. After that, well after that we…….. I don't know. Wait, I guess."

"Basic training is……… I'll have to show you."

The boys' room door opened, a groggy and bedheaded Peter emerging with an appropriately large yawn.

"Wait?!" Macha was incredulous. There are hundreds of people out their fighting and you want us to wait?" Rhea, sensing her agitation, pressed close. "I'm already trained in combat, I–I could leave –right now– to fight!" Macha was desperate. She couldn't let all those people die in vain. I've fought from the sidelines for too long., she berated herself silently. She pulled her golden spear from the pouch hanging at her waist. "Please. I need to do this."

(also, @Natasha, please say no so that Macha and Ace can do their thing plz)

Peter began towards the voices conversating, commenting without realizing he was intruding. "Hey… what's going on?"

Ace took the glasses out of her hands, "Thanks." he put them on and immediately felt dizzy. He saw so many things! So much detail. The glasses reminded him of Ebony. Her bright green eyes, freckles that danced across her face. The way he'd run his hands through her mess of raven-black hair that she always pulled into a bun. How he'd hold her hand, while they were walking, her eyes behind her too-large glasses focused on a book, and then he'd pull her close to him and kiss her light-pink lips. But he'd stayed too long. And then she was dead. Ace remembered seeing her in the place they'd meet. She was on the ground and then he saw it. Her heart had been ripped out, her bright green eyes, reduced to dull hazy look. And so much blood. The blood was everywhere, even on Ace's hands as he tried to bring her back. But she was gone and it was his fault.

AGH, I'M LATE!

Dani gently put a hand on Macha's arm. "I understand how you feel. How do you think I felt when I first got here? Knowing that the man who had killed two-HUNDRED people, including my parents, in lest that a minute, was still out there? How do you think I felt,sitting in this room for days, wanting to get revenge for my twin's death, but knowing that I had to wait? Those people fighting are fighting discreetly. And stone skin isn't necessarily discreet. I'm sorry. And plus you are blinded by anger. You need to cool down. I mean this inthe nicest possible way, but you need to wait. Can you do that for me?"

"And besides, I think you'll want to help us figure out how to turn Rhea human again."

Peter silenced himself when he realized they were having a pretty serious conversation. He'd wait until he could speak, he suppose.

Macha knew she was right, but her pride, swelled up by anger, stopped her from admitting it. She looked away, her gaze stumbling right into Ace's line of sight. Her insides froze, heart beating a hundred miles a minute, but something in those bright (but not all-seeing) eyes seemed to calm her, soothing her pride so that it curled up like a great lion and went to sleep. Macha looked back at Dani. "I can. Meanwhile, could you help me control my powers?"

Ace started towards Peter, and grinned, "Do you think I look cute?" he pointed to his glasses.

Peter exhaled a groggy laugh, replying on sleepy autopilot, "Sexy," he commented with a level of friendly facetiousness.

Blake had left the orphanage and was now flying through the darkness. According to the file, Ace's last sightings were at the battle and by a seedy looking bar. Since there was no way Blake would get any information out of any R.A.C. soldiers, he flew towards the bar.

Loud music blasted throughout the small place. Blake took off his badge and put it in his pocket. Law enforcement was never welcome in a place like this. Drunkards were strewn about the dance floor. Fits of giggles and roarous laughter could be heard over the pulsing music. Blake sat down at the bar and flagged down the bartender. "Hey, you seen this guy around here?" He asked, sliding a picture of Ace across to him.

"I'm here to serve up drinks, not to be interrogated." The bartender glared at him, crossing his arms expectantly.

"Fine. Give me a shot of the strongest whiskey you've got." Blake snapped, starting to feel a bit nervous. Sure he'd drank before. A lot of the soldiers did it daily. Blake was confident he could keep his cool, but for how long? The bartender smirked and disappeared under the counter for a moment. He poured the gold-like substance into a shot glass and set it down in front of Blake.

"Make it through three shots of this and then we'll talk." The bartender seemed far too cocky.

"Challenge accepted."

XD go blake ))

Dani gave Macha a weak smile. "That I can definitely do."
