Avery nodded and walked inside. She gave Element a small smile, then looked around for Vaughn. When she didn't see him, she asked, "Guys? Where's Vaughn?"

Element shrugged. "I was wondering the same thing. I figured he'd want me to heal his foot. I'm sure he's in the gas station, why would he leave?"

Dylan closed his eyes and listened, walking towards a static voice. He found a radio marked with the initials of the local police department. He motioned for the others to come and listen.

Avery listened to the radio feed and sighed in exasperation.

"Dang it," she whispered.

Vaughn was out behind the station, throwing his things into the truck that was parked in the back. It would be better if they had no idea where he was going. That way, they couldn’t give him up or be interrogated into telling law enforcement. He pushed up into the front seat, and searched for the key, then started the truck.

"Did you hear that?" Avery asked suddenly, wolf ears forming on her head once again. When the others gave her strange looks, she explained, "It sounded like a truck starting. From the back." She looked thoughtful for a moment, then snapped her fingers. "It must be Vaughn! C'mon, we've gotta catch him before he leaves!"

Element's eyes widened. She followed Avery through the gas station, and flung the door open. "Vaughn, what the heck are you doing?!" she screamed.

Vaughn slammed the door shut and opened the window. “The police are coming, I seriously need to get going, and it would be best if you all didn’t know where to,” He called out the window.

"You think you'll have a problem with the police if they find you?" Avery asked incredulously. She scoffed. "The police are nothing. We just infiltrated a top-secret hideout for one of the most dangerous organizations in the world. I'm pretty sure that's who that woman was working for, by the way."

Element crossed her arms. "Your seriously going to quit on us?" she questioned.

“Even if she was, it doesn’t matter. The police are the ones who know who I am. They know me, they know what I’ve done. That organization doesn’t know anything. And I’m not quitting on any of you. I just need to lay low for a few days. There are some people who would want to skin me alive, and you all knowing things about me will put you all in danger,” Vaughn snapped, his tone more harsh than he wanted it to. He was seemily directing the ‘knowing things’ part towards Avery in a ‘don’t tell anyone what I’ve told you’ manner.

Avery closed her eyes and nodded. When she opened them again, she had a steel-like look in them. "Well, if the Flame are after us and already know where we are, then none of us are safe here. So, whether you like it or not, we're coming with you. We can all hide out in the woods or something together," she suggested.

Vaughn leaned back in the seat, huffing sharply. He leaned back and ran a hand over his face, taking a few deep breathes. “You are extremely stubborn,” he muttered.

"I know!" Avery grinned. Somewhat falsely boasting, she stated, "It's part of what makes me such a great hero!"

Vaughn muttered to himself and sat back up. “Fine. Get into your car and follow me.” He rolled the window up most of the way, but left it a third of the way open for fresh air to seep in.

(Let’s just act like that all happened before he rolled the window up.)

Vaughn peered at the keys, then at Dylan skeptically. His first thought was that it was some sort of trap. He almost laughed at the idea of getting onto the bike, only to have it explode or to have a flat.

Dylan made a mental note of the look he saw, then went to grab Reiseil and threw him into the car, raising a blade to his throat again.

Turning to face Element and Dylan, she gave them a triumphant grin. "My superpower should be persuasion, I guess, if I got Mr. Grumpypants to agree!" she joked, trying to avoid awkwardness. "C'mon. Let's go get in Oscar quick so he doesn't try to ditch us again!"

(I hadn't seen the previous one before I put that up, so….um…)

(It can be very confusing when we're all on at the same time. Or most of us, anyway.)

Vaughn hid the keys away in the glove box, thinking they may come in handy for later. He pulled out from behind the lot, already knowing where to go. He dialed a number on his phone and chatted quietly with the person on the other end. He glanced in the mirror to watch the others for a moment before pulling out into the road. He heard sirens in the distance and slammed his Good foot on the gas, heading south.

Avery saw Vaughn drive away without them and sighed. "C'mon, guys. Let's go. Oscar can follow him through GPS tracking," she stated.

Vaughn turned the radio on and up, his fingers tapping on the wheel to the beat. He followed the long road, knowing exactly where he could be safe.

The group of three climbed into the car and set off. Oscar turned on his cloaking so that the police wouldn't spot them and follow them to find Vaughn. After a while, they finally caught up with the truck and followed by sight rather than GPS.

Vaughn eventually pulled off onto a rough dirt path that led into a deep part of the woods. He scanned his surroundings and then rolled the windows down, greatfully taking in the fresh air. He just now hung up his cell phone and tossed it into the passenger seat. He eventually pulled onto a gravel drive to a secluded seeming cabin.
