"Hmmm."

I suropressed a laugh at his zoned out face. Must be having a flashback. I thought as I leaned over to look at some of the walkies. But then a sudden question popped in my mind and I decided to ask it. But I guess he hadn't heard me, so I decided to wait until he snapped back.

"I was just wondering if you had anyone in mind? You are the tech. I think I should trust you before me."

I smiled, earnistly, waiting for his answer. I couldn't help but think Felix was quite interesting. A lot different than some of the guys I've been around, that's for sure.

(Now it's my turn to say sorry. Been going to Grad parties a lot now. Also, sorry for the writer's block.)

| Felix |

He looked at Bow sheepishly, unsure of what to say. Her question was nagging at him, probably in a way that she didn't understand. He didn't really care who she sent with him, and he didn't need anyone super tech savvy to test a few walkie talkies... it was just... he shook his head and attempted to smile. He figured that Bow had been waiting long enough.

Finally, he spoke, "It's just... I don't really know. I don't have that many friends here, you know? I'm just some geek. No one really talks to me, so I wouldn't know who to ask. It would really just be best if you asked someone."

Felix quickly looked down, hiding from Bow as he imagined an incredulous look on her face. He didn't dare look at her true expression, figuring that she thought of him as a wimp and a dork, just like everyone else did. If only I could fight, he thought, examining his scrawny forearms with determination as he avoided Bow's gaze.

"All is lost... Hope remains..."

"Hmmm... well..."

I stood up, Sunny retreating back into my hair as I stretched for a moment. This was going to be interesting, I just knew it. I doubt Lukas had ever fought a girl, and probably wouldn't even dare use all his strength if forced. I wasn't one to usually encourage fighting... but he asked for it. And I was really interested to see how he would even fight me.

"Why don't you try and find out?"

I asked with a soft smile and a tilt of my head. My skills were pretty much the only thing that made me unique from the other girls. I wasn't that pretty, not that great of a cook, boring when it came to playing with the smaller children. I was pretty much average, execpt for the small skill I gained through training endlessly.

(Sorry it's short! Got band practice to go to and I'm rushing!)

| Lukas |

Lukas surveyed Ash with interest, taking in the smile on her face and the light muscling of her arms that he hadn't really noticed before. He was starting to guess what he might have in mind, and, though he didn't agree with girls fighting, he was fair to a fault. He smiled and stood up, opening his arms wide to show that he wasn't worried about protecting himself. No matter how open to the idea he was, it was hard for him to believe that Ash would have any chance against him.

"I think I might," he told her, smirking. "Do you want to take this to the roof, or is right here okay?" He rolled up the sleeves on his wrinkled shirt, displaying muscles gained from carrying supplies and training with the other boys. Lukas knew how he looked. Despite his lack of formal training he could be deadly if he wanted to be.

There was no way that Lukas was going to make the first move and hit a girl, even a girl who seemed to be willing to take it. Lukas would never be able to forgive himself if he was to hurt Ash or any other girl. Boys? Fine. But Ash and the rest of the girls who lived in his building were nice and, in Lukas' mind, fragile. He waited, sure that she was going to try and strike him.

"Uh-uh. If you are so friendless this would be the perfect time to make friends! I bet you half the kids here want to be friends with you." I grinned, patting him on the back with as little force as I could. Felix was a good kid, but I hated seeing him off to the side always alone with his pet, I think, mouse. I really wished someone would go up to him and talk or something!

"C'mon! You got to try to ya' know!"

When I noticed him checking out his arms, I couldn't help but give a small chuckle and grabbed his arms. I looked at them closely, trying to see what he saw. But all I could find was years of hard work, not just physically.

"You don't need to worry about if you can throw a punch or two. That isn't something that defines you." I smiled softly as I looked him in the eyes. Letting go of his hands I stepped back and stretched for a moment. He was unique in more than his own way and I liked that about him, if only he didn't put him down so much.

"Now... are you gonna come with me or not? You still need to ask someone."

I smirked undefeatedly.

[Lacuna]

| Felix |

He swallowed hard as Bow grabbed his arms, suddenly frozen by the need to defend himself and his complete inability to. She didn't seem to notice at first, but he realized soon enough that she was just trying to help. Don't be such an idiot! he chastised himself. She's pretty and nice. What do you have to be afraid of? Bow stepped back from Felix, but he stayed still, looking at her as she stretched, still aware of the injury on her side, though he doubted than anyone else was.

"Now... are you gonna come with me or not? You still need to ask someone," Bow asked him, and he got a sinking feeling in his stomach. He brushed his hands down the front of his jeans, trying to think of some way out of the situation, even though he knew that nothing was going to be able to help him now.

"Fine," he finally said, attempting a smile. "Who do you think would be good for this? I don't need anyone super tech savvy. Anyone else hiding in the corner like me?" he smirked a little, and patted the mouse who stuck her head out from the depths of his hoodie. Sonya stared at Bow for a minute before ducking back into his hood, as she was incredibly distrustful of everyone who wasn't Felix. He thought a little as he felt her rustle around, keeping out of sight. He needed to be more trustful of people, even though it had gotten him hurt in the past.

He walked towards the door, now sure of his decision to try and be more social, especially if it was going to make Bow like him more. "Are you coming?" he called to her over his shoulder.

"All is lost... Hope remains..."

This was going to be interesting. I had never fought some one of my own will before. Usually it was provoked by some jock trying to prove he could beat a girl or some random, but stupid, pick-pocketer trying to take advantage of a zoned out girl, at least they all don't get far before I catch on.

"Hi-yah!"

I yelled as I was taught as I gave one of the many well-known kicks, a step-side kick, one they often teach in self-defense. He was the one he wanted me to strike first, judgeing from the smirk on his face. But this was nice. I had always seen Lukas fight from afar with the rest of the girls, but never had I been fact-to-face with him. This would surely be fun!

[Lacuna]

Despite his unwillingness to fight with a girl, Lukas had to admit that he was curious about Ash. As she stood to confront him he decided that she did look capable, but he still had his reservations. He was still musing when Ash moved, lightning fast, and kicked him in the stomach. He immediately recognized it as the move of a trained martial artist, but he didn't have the ability to think beyond that.

Lukas had been off-balance when the kick connected, and he stumbled as he was knocked back several feet. However, this gave him an advantage as he reflexively stepped to Ash's side and darted in just as fast as she had, aiming his shoulder towards the side of her rib cage, as he would have done in a fight with any of the boys in his gang.

He saw her clearly as he aimed, almost stopped short by the realization that he was about to hit a girl for the first time in his life. However, the momentum was too much and he had to leave it up to her to get out of the way of his move, which he hoped that she would. All he could think about was the smirk he had seen on her face as she kicked him, and, in a way he couldn't really explain, it challenged him.

I couldn't help but grinned as he started off without me then even called to me! Looks like I changed someone's life! Or at least a little. I thought to myself as a gave a soft, hidden giggle before quickly following after Felix. This geek sure was interesting, a lot more than the other guys that hung around me, that's for sure.

"Hmmm, well... there's Jim? Oh, and Alex! They're both really nice boys and wouldn't destroy anything that they shouldn't." Unlike some... I smiled as I glanced around the crowded floor. I had actually forgotten all about my injury and the pain I was supposedly in, I was way to occupied with the issue of finding someone to help Felix. This was actually becoming a lot of fun though. Probably more than fighting, oh, but I wouldn't never give that up, not in a million years.

"Hmmm or there's always Amber? She a nice, quiet girl, if you don't like the annoying boys."

I said as I looked around, spotting some of the people in small groups or even by themselves. I was actually sorta surprised to find so many of the kids up and about this early in the morning... I sure wasn't a morning person, but I was slowly getting used to it.

"Well?"

I turned to look at Felix, wondering if he had picked one yet.

[Lacuna]

| Felix |

Felix looked around as Bow spoke, eyeing the people that she was pointing out. He was intimidated by the sheer number of kids that were milling around, as he had been unaware that what seemed like everyone was awake. Jim and Alex looked nice to him, but he had never really had any friends who were guys, and he didn't really know how to talk to them. He shuffled his feet, losing some of the resolve that he had been fueled by only moments before. His gaze settled on Amber, but, though she was pretty and generally the type of girl that he would become attracted to, he didn't feel anything for her, and looked away, meeting Bow's bright eyes.

"Well," he finally said, repeating Bow's word of question in a timid voice, "it doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, whatever..." he trailed off, but he was looking across the room at the two boys, who, though not speaking to each other, weren't that far apart.

Felix walked over to them with more confidence than he truly felt, wondering how closely, if at all, Bow was shadowing him. He tried desperately to remember which boy was which, failing miserably. Finally he called out, "Hey Jim?" and the first boy turned. "Alex?" he added, marking them apart in his memory. Clasping his hands behind his back, he asked, "Could you guys... uh, help me out? I need a few people to test some walkie talkies out with me." Felix smiled, hoping that they didn't think he was a freak.

Without waiting for a response he added, too quickly, "It's really easy. Just out in the yard or whatever. I hope they'll work..." he trailed off, cursing his stupidity and the nerves that had made him speak a second time.
