Maia Stevens – Student – Growing/Controlling Plants – Location: Rose's House

Maia had barely stopped the SUV in Rose's driveway when the other girl jumped out and ran for the house. A little more calmly, she turned off the SUV and hopped out, closing her door as well as Rose's before walking up to the house. Stepping inside, she found Rose staring at an old rocking chair and an orange tabby. She walked up to the other girl, simply setting her hand on Rose's shoulder. "I'm sorry." Her voice was soft, gentle. Seeing anyone in this kind of pain was hard. Losing a family member was rough. Unexpectedly and with completely unexplainable circumstances, even worse.

She stood there for a few minutes, trying to give Rose time to attempt to come to terms with everything, but there were things that need doing. Taking the other girl's hand, she lightly pulled Rose over to the couch, making her sit down. Grabbing a chair, she pulled it over so she was facing Rose directly. "Rose," She said softly, trying to get her attention. "Something is going on here. We don't know what, or how, or why, but someone needs to step up. I’m not from around here. People don’t know me, so they won’t trust me. Someone has to take charge, get things organized.” Although she spoke as if she knew what she was talking about, in truth she was completely winging it. Nothing could have ever prepared anyone for this kind of situation, but now they had to make the best of it.

“Food, water, shelter, clothes, these are all things that we once took for granted. Police, firemen, doctors, electricians, cooks, they are all gone. We are going to figure out how to do everything ourselves.” Maia said ‘matter-of-fact’ly. She was running on the simple assumption that the grownups were gone, and they weren’t coming back anytime soon. “We need to secure food, a water source, and medicine. We need to visit another town, since we don’t know how widespread this thing is. Maybe it’s local, maybe it’s global. We need to check houses for young children. Imagine how many could be alone and scared right now.” Honestly she had no clue if anything she was saying was getting through to Rose, or if it was helping at all, but she desperately hoped it was. “I have a couple suggestions of things to do before we go back to the school. That is, if you want to go back. It’s all up to you.”

Maia Stevens – Student – Growing/Controlling Plants – Location: On the road

When Maia finally saw the flame rekindle in Rose's eyes, she wanted to shout with relief. "Okay, lets get this show on the road." She muttered under her breath as the other girl swept out of the house, spotting a few pens and some paper sitting next to a phone. Grabbing the notepad and a couple pens, she followed Rose outside. Hopping back into the SUV, she handed the pens and paper over to Rose. "Mind taking notes while I drive?" She said, shifting into reverse to back out of the driveway.

"So, we are going to need rules, and someone to enforce them. A police-type force. They need to have a check on their power though, so they don't go crazy. We need to find out exactly how much food we have all together. Grocery stores, gas stations, even what is in houses. Gotta get it gathered in a couple central locations, since having it all in one spot could be a disaster if something like a fire happens. We need to gather all the little kids, and find older kids to take care of them. Supplies for the babies will be critical too." She rattled off, her mind spinning with lots of different ideas.

"We should make scavenger teams. About 10 kids per group, with one or two drivers, and get them to start sweeping houses. Cars can be used to shuttle food, supplies, and younger kids back into town." She suggested. “We need to lock up the grocery store before any looting happens. What’s there needs to be shared equally, not ‘first come, first serve’. We should actually stop by there real quick before we head back to the school. There’s got to be some keys lying around we can use, plus if there are any kids already there we can bring them back to the school with us.” With that thought in mind, she headed them towards the local grocery store in the middle of town, figuring Rose would say something if she disagreed.

Scarlet honestly didn't realize what was going on in the room until her phone signal cut out. She was halfway through giving Mary advice on how to dump her boyfriend, when it just went. Gone. She looked up and around, her face creasing in confusion for just a moment before the cold mask was back on. Drew was still trying to act impressive, and immediately took charge, sending her after Mars, his little henchman. "Whatever. She stood and sashayed after Mars.

It hadn't gone completely silent, but she had noticed how instantaneously various sounds had dropped from the room. All sounds that the adults had been making. She broke eye contact with Drew to take a look around. She didn't notice it at first glance, but after the second sweep, she realized what had happened. Where had the adults gone? Her biology teacher had been standing off only about ten feet, and now she was no where to be seen. Marjorie raised a curious eye brow at Drew, who was taking in the scene. Contrary to her first thoughts, he seemed to have no idea what was happening. That made her interest in the entire situation pique considerably. Because if Drew wasn't causing this, then who was?

She stood slowly and let herself be led by Drew without question. She took note of the way he had almost avoided using her last name. She breathed a silent laugh. Old habits were easy to slip back into, even for Drew Henderson. In some way, she now had an idea of why she was here. Maybe she was needed, whether he knew about the adults disappearing or not. She let the other girl, this Silver person with strange fingernails, take the spot ahead of her; she had resumed her old position as rear guard without second thought. Oh, how this was going to be an interesting school year. All she needed now was a saber and her day would be complete.

Jared, who's fear of his best friends' fathers ran deeper than any other fear, had hidden when he had heard footsteps approaching the bedroom door. Not only had he hidden, he had jumped clear over Cassy's bed and wedged himself under it, knowing the bed-skirt would cover his body entirely; it wasn't the first time he had used the spot nor would it be the last. True, when hoping to avoid one's murder by one's best friend's father, it is advisable to not hide in your best friend's room. Especially when you are a boy and your best friend's father --- who just happened to be an ex-marine --- wasn't too keen on the idea of his daughter dating until she was married. Still, terror got the best of him every time they were even in the same house together.

He could hear an argument heating up quicker than he would like. And then there was silence. Jessi's voice went into panic. Jessi, panicking? Just as he was pulling himself out from under the purple bed-skirts to see Jessi running out the door and him and a shell-shocked Cassy alone in her bedroom. He furrowed his brow, wondering in the back of his mind what had scared the girls so badly and where the Fearsome Fathers had gone.

"Cas," he said softly, his nerves edging into his voice. "What just happened?"

(So, I'll reply. What is happening right now? I'm so lost.)

Sterling watched him blow the doors open. So, he wasn't hiding. Why should you hide? She thought to herself. She unsheathed her claws. Their polished silver surface gleamed. Her power was a thing of beauty. It fit her perfectly. "Nice trick, Drew. Check out mine." She said, dragging the fourth car towards them. She could drive both cars at once. She could be just as useful as Drew's little mind powers. She walked to the car he had designated for her and Marjorie. Sterling put on her sunglasses, ready to drive. She stuck her head out of the window and shouted across the parking lot. "Hey, Drew! Where are we going?"

im crazy love the truck came to a abrupt stop as killian pulled into the driveway of his fathers massive house. it was eerily quite outside and not even a bird seemed to make a sound as he approached the double doors. as killian pulled open both doors at the same he yelled into the house. "i'm home!" there was no answer what so ever as the voice echoed off the silent walls. killian tilted his head to the side suspiciously and swallowed thickly with a confused look. his mom was always home because she didn't work and would have left a note if she left because she knew he was coming today. "well thanks for the warm welcome." he mumbled aloud and cuffed to himself, shaking his head. he searched the whole house in the meantime and didn't find a trace of anyone so he opened the gun safe and grabbed two colt pythons and a rifle and closed the safe for other guns later if needed.
im crazy love so it turns out he had made it barely past the dome as it came down and he was inside of it. sadly. anyways killian made his was back to his truck and started the engine, turning the wheel towards the center of town. he parked in a alleyway large enough for the car to block the way of others to him. he grabbed the latter to the roof of a building and climbed up to the top. the city was rimming with kids about his age whom some he didn't recognize. they all gathered together by which schools they went to. cuffing, killian shook his head again and sat on the rooftop looking over the down with a smug look spread across his features as he tipped the bottle of bear upwards and drowned the whole thing. his legs hung over the edge of the building, swinging as the wind ruffled his thick dark brown hair.

Mars followed the polished floor to the security room, where he knew would be recordings. And guns. Though it was never mentioned in the program, Mars had been at St. Claire's long enough to know they weren't going to set up a academy for troubled kids without a gun, even if it was well hidden. Back then, they had actually had to fire back at a kid Mars had been bunked with. It had taken an hour to talk the boy down and finally having to shoot him down.
As he trudged along in his heavy boots, he could sense Scarlet obediently following behind. She was like some puppy of Drew's and even though she would never admit it, she obeyed alike. It was the fact that she respected Drew -- even when she dissed him -- and feared Mars, though they had never really discussed that. He figured it was just given.
"You and I both know, Scarlet, that Drew only uses people for a certain duration." He looked over his shoulder, his cold eyes gleaming in the flickering lights above. "And after Drew has what he wants, he's going to let you go. Me?" He looked ahead again and grinned, throwing his tie to the side. Maybe he just wanted to make her feel edgy. Uncertain. Give he a weak spot. "Nah. We're oath brothers; loyal to the end. Two peas in a pod, Scarlet. Two peas in a pod."
He opened the security door room. Sitting there was a cup of coffee, a doughnut, and a empty chair. He rolled his shoulders a second before sighing, sitting down before the scrambled cameras. After a few moments, he finally was able to bring up a roll. Twenty seconds before the blink. He watched, his face hardened with distant curiosity, his dark eyes flickering across the black and white picture as it rolled. Children moving about. There was cut. And then almost everybody was gone. The cooks. Some kids roughly his age. Just like that. Gone.

"Dad?" It left her mouth, an faint echo in the room. Jessi was wailing. Jared... looking disturbed. She stood, slowly, every trace of sarcasm and act gone and replaced almost instantly with a paralyzing fear. She swallowed and hesitantly sat back down. Was she dreaming? Well, her stomach was full... which meant that Taco Tuesday really did happen. So she wasn't dreaming. She leaped back to her feet again and shoved Jared away from the camera. "Calm her down... woe her if you have to." She joked weakly, nodding toward her friend.
She took the tape and replayed it, over and over. One second they were all sitting there, arguing on tape. Then the next... their parents were gone. Numb, she fingered the camera. Then, inhaling sharply, she crossed her arms and paced the floor. "Jess!" She cried. "I can't think with your nonchalant sobbing stabbing me in the ear!" She bit down on her lip. Well... Jared was apparently taking this as fine news, because he wasn't crying or going crazy. She bent, leaning against her knees a second. The world began to get dizzy. "Okay..." She swiped her bangs back and stood, her back straight. Kotka came into the room, whimpering as he went to sit by her feet. "Okay. Let's go see what's going on outside."

im crazy love a voice echoed off the alley wall up to his ears. it was a female voice and she sounded powerful. he smirked and climbed down from the building, heading the way the voice came from. arriving just in time he found a girl with the power to manipulate metal. "well, well, well. what do we have here." killian paused and tossed the empty beer bottle away, throwing his hands up in the air. in result of that the pretty girls powers went temporarily away. (he can only take one persons fully away for a long time but weaken everyones -not take away- for a short time and same for the strengthen). "i don't think your going anywhere now, love." he chuckled lightly and winked at her. "what's the matter? metal powers gone away? dearie?"
