Dasken awoke, his body aching. He noticed, just in time, that his aura turned off. He had finished recharging. He turned to Ashley, and it took him a minute to register the situation.
Their clothes were all ripped, and they were covered in ash.
His eyes bulged, and then he held his head.
Ech, not good. He shook off the mild headache. He nudged Ashley to try and wake her up.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley woke up, a little bit groggy. She remembered fire, and flight, and burning a lot of things, but it was a bit of a blur. Did I pull a Dask and lose control? She wondered. I know I wouldn't do that on purpose...

 

[BonslyJuice]

"A.. Ashley, you good?" Dasken asked, genuine concern on his face. He put his hand on hers. He choked up a bit.
"We lost control. I am almost sure we lost control. I'm... I'm sorry..." he whispered.

 

[Stormursa]

Miridia had healed Fae and the girl now rested in Miridia's mansion. Miridia was helping the plants in the farm grow, helping the green house grow things. Lyric helped by planning where everything was going to go. The two women chatting as they worked, Zackery running around their legs.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley looked down. "I should've been able to control my powers," She said, blaming herself. "It's not your fault. I wasn't strong enough..." A tear rolled down her cheek. "I...I hurt people, didn't I...?"

 

[__Black_Cat__]

Darcel turned and faced Meridia, "I don't need healing anymore, I..I.. will do it myself." He put a fake smile on his face and turned back around. He felt his powers draining, he felt extremely weak and cold; even when his arm was on fire.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken began to cry with her. "No... No, I was the only one who hurt people." His tears fell more quickly. "You're a better and safer person than me." He gave her a hug. "I know what it's like to not be able to control powers..."

 

[Jagson]

Joshua tapped his finger to radio. It was a song from a band he never heard of. It seemed somewhat religious and rock at the same time. "What you want. What you need." The Driver sang along to the song " Everything's going to crash and break." She said. She then looked over at Joshua embraced. " Sorry it's my favorite band." She said. " I'm Sam by the way." She said.
"Joshua." he said. " And it's alright. I also sing in a the car. So who's the band."
" Skillet." She said.
"Like the frying pan." Joshua said in disbelief. She laughed at that.
" Still why are you hitchhiking?" She said
" It's along story." He said.
"Try me." She said.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley felt guilty still. "I'm still dangerous. You put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. I don't know if I'll be able to go back..." She thought of everyone back at the base. "I don't want to fly off the handle again."

 

[Stormursa]

Miridia looked at Darcel and shook her head, "atleast let me look at you".
Lyric looked over at him and gave him her best mom look. Crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
Zackery stole an apple that Miridia had been growing in the space.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken put his fists under his chin. He was silent for a few minutes.
His eyes suddenly lit up. Gradually, granted, but they lit up nonetheless. He grabbed onto Ashley's hand and turned to her.
"I have an idea!" He said. "I think I know why we're far away from camp; because I wanted us to help each other!" His eyes were gleaming, something they hadn't done in forever.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Boris found Ken laying down in a cave. "What is problem friend Ken?" He asked. Ken opened his eyes to look at Boris. "I hurt the person I loved and now I can't even face her anymore." Boris walked up to him. "You must mean Fae, her voice hurt, lost power. but nothing can change now." Ken then got up. "Or maybe I can." He ran out of the cave and came back carrying a lot of machine parts. "I can try to make her a voice box." Boris smiled at the idea. "I can be subject, body tougher." Ken looked at him with a thank you face. He set the parts down on a flat rock. "Lets get started."

 

[__Black_Cat__]

Darcel sighed and rolled his eyes, "I'm perfectly fine, just a little sore." he whispered. He turned his head and glanced at Lyric. "You shouldn't start acting like my mom, you know what happens to anyone who are/think they are related to me." he whispered, sadness in his voice.

 

[Stormursa]

"Don't pull this with me, young sir. I can act like your mom if I wish to now you are going to let her make sure you are ok and heal you if you need healing," Lyric argued and walked over to him, pinching his ear. Miridia grinned and made a small orb of energy in her hand.

 

[__Black_Cat__]

Darcel's voice got deeper and full of anger, "NO ONE CAN BE AS GOOD AS MY MOTHER!" he screamed. Lyric's hand began to turn purple. "Blood clot." he whispered. "Now you, you stupid witch, Get away from me, I AM FINE." he yelled as he slapped her hand away and walked outside. "I'm sorry I..." Darcel sighed and turned away from them

 

[Stormursa]

Lyric swore and pressed her hand to her chest. She looked at darcel and sighed, Miridia removing the blood magic with her own. She sighed and nodded to Lyric, taking Zack away. Lyric walked over to darcel and hugged him, "don't do that again. I know I won't be as good as your mom but I'm just trying to keep everyone happy and healthy. I saw your mom when she was you and she was great. I'm not trying to replace her, just trying to be there for everyone".

 

[__Black_Cat__]

Darcel looked down at their feet. "Are.. Are you ok?" he questioned her as he joined in on the embrace. "Surprised I don't look like a strawberry when i'm being hugged huh?" he questioned Lyric

 

[Stormursa]

"I am a little. And I'm fine," Lyric smiled and ruffled his hair. She pulled away from the big and looked him in the eyes, "now that we are common ground you have to promise to not hide if your in pain or not feeling well or I'll crystalize you and make sure you never the bunker ever again. Besides Zack needs his big brother".
As she said the last part the boy ran over and tried to tackle darcel.

 

[__Black_Cat__]

Darcel smiled and pretended to not see Zackery. As the boy jumped onto him, he began to laugh. "Oh no, he got me! See that Lyric? He's going to be a warrior someday." he smirked as he picked up Zackery and tossed him into the air ; catching him ofcourse.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley looked at Dask. "You mean...Like training?" She asked. She immediately thought of some cliche movie scene, except with her and Dask where the hero or heroes trained then came back better than ever.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken nodded. "I mean... we can take turns trying to lose control, then learning to control it with the othe rone helping us!" He grinned pleasantly. "If we could do that and prove to the group that we really could manage our abilities, then we could go back and everyone would be safe!"

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley thought about this. There was only one problem. "I don't know why I lost control," She admitted, "So I don't know how I could lose control again."

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken thought about it. "I know that my rage is triggered by intense circumstances..." he looked at Ashley. "Maybe if we go all-out in training, one of us will lose control... a dangerous situation, maybe?"

 

[Yaspen]

"That could work." Then a thought occurred to her. When she had 'Lost Control' the first time, when her friend was being beat against a locker, her friend had been in danger. When she did it the second time, Dask had put himself in danger. "But what if BOTH of us lose control?" She asked.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken grinned. "Then we fight ourselves."
He motioned for Ashley to follow him outside.

 

[Stormursa]

Zackery grinned and cheered. Lyric laughed at the two and stepped back to let the two interact. She shook her head and looked at Miridia, who was growing plants again. Fae had woken up and slowly made her way to the bathroom, hiding back under the covers when she was done.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley followed Dask out. She was very nervous, but not entirely for her own safety. She didn't want to go insane and hurt her more-than-a-friend. The surrounding area wasn't mountainous, but it was very foggy. That really hindered visibility. A lighthouse beam sliced through the mist, briefly illuminating the area. They were on a rocky island, and there was a town nearby. Ashley's eyes widened. Is this...No way! This was her hometown, Snowburough!

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken's face was one of confusion and rage, but fear was included in the mix. "Now why in the hell would I bring us to a city?" He turned to Ashley slowly, a frightening idea occuring in Dasken's mind.
"Do... do you know this place?" He asked cautiously.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley nodded. The city was a fair distance off, but it was hauntingly close to her heart. "I...Grew up here. It's called Snowburough," She said, her voice not as loud as it could be.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken swallowed hard. "Did... did tou miss it before you lost control?" He asked, fear and astonishment creeping into his throat.

 

[Jagson]

Lily walked up to Darcel and giggled when she saw him pick up Zackary. " You look great with him." She said with a smile on her face.
She looked at her boyfriend. She was lucky to have him. Though they should actually get to try and know each other.

"So that's all." Sam said looking at Joshua. " Your some super powered being that the government decided to drop off in the middle of a forest?" She said. She just laughed "Nice one." She said.
" I'm serious." He said.
"And you left because of all this so called in fighting, you feeling like your unneeded to the group and you're girl friend likes another guy more than you.
" Pretty much." He said.
" You should become an author." She said. "It would...." She looked as one of her Cd's started to float in the air. " Well now." She said in disbelief. " So if the government finds you?" She said now believing him
"Probably going to send me to another place." Joshua said. "With even more psychopaths that want to kill themselves or go fucking insane."
" Well." She said. " My Farther owns a diner in town. We'll keep you safe."
" Why are you doing this?" He asked.
" Cause your a nice guy." She said. " Yeah I know I just met you but you have a good rhythm to you. I think we'll be good friends."

 

[Yaspen]

"I've always missed it. You don't forget the place where your first...Well, almost everything happened. My first Band performance, like I said, almost everything." Ashley picked out her friend Kat's house by the water. She smiled yearningly.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken was lost in thought for a moment, when he snapped back, he turned Ashley to face him. "I think... I think you may have somehow told me to come here..." he said, voice shaking. "When w elost control, I remember feeling much mor epowerful, but also... understood. I think we may have had some kind of... of a link or something..." he sat down on a rock, hand over mouth looking down, thinking more.

 

[Stormursa]

Lyric was working beside Miridia in the green house. The witch was trying to teach her about different glyphs that were used in magic and could be used to grow plants. The two talked and Lyric shot down Miridia when she asked where Joshua had went. The white witch didn't press any further and the two continued working in the garden.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley looked at Dask, a curious look on her face. "I guess that we're superpowered teenagers, so anything is possible," She said, trying to put a little bit of humor in their dark situation.

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken put a hand to his head. "I don't feel good enough to fly, and I don't know if you can, either. I don't know which direction the camp is, and I don't think nayone is going to bother looking for us..." he hit himself in the head with the butt of his balled-up fist. "Think, Dask, think!"

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley sat down. She rubbed her temples, trying to concentrate. "Hmm...We could try and ask someone for help," She said. "Just kinda thinking out loud, I know it's a lousy idea."

 

[BonslyJuice]

Dasken froze. He looked up at Ashley. He smiled in an awkward smile, like something had clicked at long last.
"Where were you when you got caught?" He asked. "Did anyone else get taken that you knew?"

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Ken made many prototype amplifying voice boxes and tested them on Boris. One of them held onto the actual voice box too rough, another one blew up, another one sent electricity through Boris's mouth. "Time out friend Ken, I be strong bot not invulnerable." Ken responded "Alright, I'll work on more while you rest." Ken started making more as Boris slept for a little.

 

[__Black_Cat__]

Darcel looked over at Lily, "Hey, haven't seen you in a while.. Where have you been?" the bloodbender asked as he put down Zack and hugged her.
