Nik looked around as he was pulled out of his shadow by a gravity reversal. "Huh. Good trick..." Nik floated up out of his shadow and into the air, not acting terribly surprised. When Cecilia sent an orb of energy at him, he concentrated on the shadow on the ground, pulling it up towards him as fast as he could. The shadow made it in front of him just in time. The shadow absorbed the orb, at least that was what it looked like; the orb actually just melted inside the shadow, and was still bouncing around inside of it. Luckily Nik had used Cecilia's shadow, and not his own, or else Happiness might have been in danger. Nik stuck his head into the shadow and then pulled it back out before saying, "I'm gonna hafta go get that later..." But Nik didn't pause, he threw a few more shadow blades at Cecilia, wondering if he could adequately defend himself when he was suspended in the air and fighting a much faster opponent.

((*eyetwitch*)) Cecilia cursed quite loudly. How he was able to even bring the shadow up into the air was beyond her. It just didn't seem physically possible. Her movements were much faster than his so how was he even still managing to dodge? She did not go without noticing the shadow blades, yet as she evaded this time, one of them caught her creating a rather nice sized gash in her side. Cecilia winced slightly as large spot of blood appeared on the side of her top. She brought herself up and over the blades and flew at him and break-neck speed. Once she was about ten inches from him, she launched another orb at him. This one was much bigger and faster than the last few.

(( eek Nik is so dead. He's deader than dead, he's super dead. )) Nikolai stared as Cecilia got angry at the fact that he was able to avoid her last attack. He could tell he was in for it now; Hell hath no fury like an angry woman with superpowers. "This is gonna hurt worse than the time Anya gave me super food poisoning..." Nik closed his eyes and put his hands up to brace himself for the hit he knew he couldn't dodge. The orb hit Nik right in the chest, knocking him back into the mountainside. Nik went limp and all his shadow manipulations sank back into their places. The combination of the blast and the mountain had knocked him unconscious. Nik floated in the air, his glasses hanging off his face at an odd angle, still unbroken. His headphones still remained where they were on his head and continued to play music for him, even though he couldn't hear it.

The scar on Cecilia's side twinged rather painfully, but she was sure that she was not in as much pain as Nikolai was in. His life energy could still be sensed meaning that he was not dead. She gave a sigh of relief. Later on, she would treat him to some ice cream in order to make it up to him. Seeing that there was quite a bit of blood from her wound, she decided that it would be best to stop the bleeding. She ripped part of her top so that part of her torso was revealed and wrapped the cloth around her lower half in order to put pressure on the wound and to stop the bleeding. "This top was expensive," she muttered quite angrily before she flew a little closer to Nikolai to see if he was really unconscious. A good portion of the mountain was destroyed thanks to the power behind the blast. He wasn't moving and all of the shadow manipulations had disappeared. Was he really unconscious, or was it all a trick? She wasn't about to attack again while he was unconscious for as injured as he was right now, another attack would most likely have proven fatal to him.

((Okay since the Night Owls are dragging, and Brandon gave me permission, we're going to speed things up a little. As well, YG do you know how Kinetic energy works??? I mean Gambit had the ability, it made explosives. I doubt it has anything to do with healing, but...yea...okay....timeskip!!! The Timeskip is ONE DAY!!!!)) The Night OWLs trained and trained. Some people took worser blows than others but that was the point, to push each other to the max. A day had passed and The Night OWLs were all at the INN where Noel and the twins had been staying.
Amara was up long before anyone as she sat on a rock writing in a notebook, taking in the breeze. She was wondering when they were heading out towards New York. Amara had helped the fallen phoenix several times before within the last two years....it was all apart of the plan. The four suites were an impressive group she had to admit. Well the newest addition Cecilia was. She sometimes wondered if she never betrayed Roulin how would their relationship would have been.
Aeon had woke up a little after Amara. She didn't know how to handle this subject. But she would have to chalk up her fear and walk towards the psion. "Um...Amara...." she said in a nervous tone. The young psion turned to Aeon as she looked to her in her eyes. "I don't know how to say this...but....you're my sister" she said looking at her. "Hold on..." she said as she pulled out the locket to Amara observe. "That's you, and that's me and that's our mom and our dad" she said. She didn't know how her sister would react.
Amara looked at Aeon and grabbed the locket. It looked like Amara but how could she tell Aeon was telling the truth. "DO you mind if I read your mind?" she asked her. "I'm sorry it's just...you don't know who you can trust these days" she said to her. She began to scan Aeon's mind, it was a lot that she couldn't access but it was enough to know she was telling the truth. And here all along, Amara felt as if she was all alone in the world...she had a sister, she lept from the rock and gave Aeon a hug as she looked at her. "You don't know how long I've been waiting....wishing that I had someone in my life like this" she told her older sister as she enjoyed the moment.
Elle had slept a little later than usual. That Jaylin character needed to be taken down a notch. Her head hurt and it was about time for her to see if what she needed to do was time. Her eyes flashed a light teal and returned to normal. "After New York...." she whispered to herself. AS she got out of bed she noticed something. parts of her hand seemed to have electronic parts around her hand resembling machinery. Was this apart of her mutation??? She ignored it for now and began to finish the things she had been working on for a while now. She would go into step one of her plan after New York...it was for certain now.
Noel was eating a piece of toast and drunk some red wine as she looked at the coast. She could see that Amara and Aeon finally did speak with her sister. She smiled. It would be time for them to head out soon.
The Night OWLS had packed all of their things and headed towards New York. They are currently en route to New York as we speak on a jet Noel had made.

As they sat on the jet headed to New York Demios frowned. He couldn't help but think of the last time he was their. He remembered how strong some of them were. He sighed after a moment and shook his head trying to clear his head. He then stood for a moment and looked around. He saw Amara and decided to talk to her. He knew she had lost the herald of mind, and wondered how it was affecting her, he was sure he would one day soon lose his own herald. He quickly moved to the seat next to her "Hey is this seat taken?" He asked as he took the seat. "How are you doing?" He asked knowing that she'd catch on to the fact he was asking more so how was she doing without the phoenix. He looked at her and frowned a little "It must be hard...adjusting" He added.

Amara was very happy to know that she had a sister, perhaps they could do some bonding soon but for now they had to focus on the mission. She heard Demios' voice and looked at him. "OH no, have a seat" she said closing her book that she had been reading. That was one thing about Amara, she always kept a book on her person. "I'm alright" she said to him quickly. She knew exactly what she was talking about. "IT's sort of a relief...I don't have anyone else in my head" she said, not telling him how she destroyed Brazil not even 72 hours ago. "I've had almost two years to adjust" she added.

Demios looked at her not entirely believing her. "Well thats good to hear, I'm glad" He said. He looked down and frowned "To be honest I'm scared of when the raven leaves me, there are times when I'm not sure what parts of me is it and which parts are me....I'm also scared what'll happen to me afterward, I mean how much of my strength and power isn't actually mine" he said. He looked back at her and gave a weak smile "You always were a lot stronger and braver than I was, I admired you for it when we were growing up" He said. "When we were fighting, I was thinking about when we were kids and although I was a brat and mean to you back then, but I always looked up to you" He said. He smiled a bit more "I know you just found your real sister, and I don't know if it means much, but I always thought of you as a sister" He said.

The sparring session between each two man team went on for awhile longer. Cecilia was happy when Noel finally decided to end it. At the hotel, which they had stayed in, Cecilia took the time to have her wound properly dressed and had even bought a new purple top in order to replace the top that had been damaged during the spar. As usual, Cecilia did not sleep that night and chose to, instead, gaze up at the stars from atop the roof of the hotel. The next evening, they were on their way to New York via a jet that had been created by Noel. Cecilia's hair was in a long french side braid and she wore the purple top, which she had bought yesterday along with her jeans and boots. She had taken a seat next to Roulin. As the jet sped through the air towards their destination, Cecilia spoke to him. "So, how was the sparring session between you and Andy yesterday?" she asked curiously. She had been very much absorbed in her own session with Nik that she hadn't paid attention to the other groups.

Amara looked at Demios and smiled. "You'll be fine" she said. Amara was never good at things like this. "Thanks Demios I guess I saw as a younger brother myself" she said. "Honestly stop relying on your powers so much Demios...." she said trailing. "You're more than that, and you need to work on your fighting skills" she said. She looked out the window and back at him. "Don't lose yourself in this pointless war" she told him with assurance. She looked out the window as she thought once more.
"Oh Che are you really reduced to this?" a female voice said. It was Victoria the herald of mind. She saw L and smirked. "Oh Gaeta!!!! Hello" she said in a thick tone. "So what's the plan...kill off everyone here ey" she asked. She was so serious though. That's how her reasoning worked. Do evil or destroy life, then that life must also be destroyed so nothing else would happen from this group of people.

Roulin had been staring out of the jet's clear window into the night's sky. Above, below and around the large wings and turbines were stars twinkling way off in the distance. He gave a reminiscent sigh that turned into a white fog against the glass. The instance seemed to try to remind him that no matter how much he wished for the past, an invisble wall would always be kepping him from it.
He was broken from his spell when Cecilia spoke out to him. Roulin hastily hid his concerns with a grin and a nod. After she sat beside him, inquiring his thoughts of yesterday, he crossed right leg over the other and laced his fingers over his knees. "It went well. A tad strange for me, but well nonetheless. Umm, you look nice by the way." The owl of life complemented. "Better than what I have on..." he said giving a tug at his shirt collar. His new attire consisted of a dark mahoghany turtleneck shirt beneath a matching overcoat.dark mahoghany turtleneck shirt beneath a matching overcoat. It wasn't as long as his other coat, but it kept him warm. His pants were a light beige and his shoes matched the color of the sweater shirt. The buckles atop the shoes were golden and glistened even in the low lighting of the plane's inside.
~~~
"Heh, I think after a long day, everyone gets reduced to sleeping...I recognize the voice, but I can't put a finger on the face." Che opened his eyes finally having his balance set between awake and dead asleep. Looking up from his dusty dirty couch, he set eyes upon a woman that brought with her anguish and pain. "Oh, Victoria. Why are you here? If you're looking for your thanks from a few hundred years ago, then look harder. I believe Dante is the one you want to talk to for that...and no, we're going into this with a plan. Not running and gunning like a fool."

Demios looked at Amara as she spoke to him "I hope your right" He said. He then leaned back in his seat. "So you think its pointless too huh....when I was in New York last time I fought one of them, I tried to appeal to his sense of reason and tell him how many innocent people they had killed....I didn't get through to him until I hexed him I think they'll be even worse now" He said. He looked at her and then decided to change the subject "What do you want to do when this is over" He said.

((have to leave in a few minutes, first day of summer school)) Amara looked at Demios. "You really should be strategic in what you do in combat. It's not easy to sway someone's beliefs and thoughts. There are times that I hate humans other times I hate OWLs...but nobody can stray me away from what I believe. What you did to that young man is wrong, and who knows what you have done in that carelessness. I just pray that a psion can help him out, you could have broke his mind" she said to him. When she heard what he asked she looked at him. "I just want to open a school for OWLs, to go if they have nowhere else to go. To teach them how to live with their powers, not them living under their powers, also how to fit in with humans" she said. "Amaya will be helping me with this if I survive" she said honestly.
"Well me and you both know that your brother is dead...so his debt is your debt, but that's for a later date. I'm here because...well I was bored, but seeing how you have a plan, I guess I'll stay" she said. "It's utterly boring in the world and yea...you do know your son is on his way here right??? Yea the whole group. So what's the plan hun?" she asked him.

Cecilia noticed that Roulin seemed troubled by something despite the fact that he was trying to hid it. She looked down at her outfit, a light pink tinge brushing her cheeks. "Thanks," she said trying to sound casual. Her eyes then fell upon his attire. "Oh, don't worry so much. You look fine. Those colors really suit you." She leaned back slightly in the seat and allowed her eyes to meet Roulin's. "I feel almost bad for what I did to Nik yesterday. Poor guy must still be a little sore," she said with a small laugh before falling serious and looking at him with a hint of concern. "By the way, is anything troubling you? I noticed you seemed to have something on your mind. I know it's probably none of my business and that we haven't known each other for very long, but if you ever need to, you know you can talk to me about anything." Her lips curled into a friendly smile.

A light smirk curved the troubled teen's lips after Cecilia let him know that his 70s suit wasn't as bad as he thought. After she spoke of Nik, Roulin coughed in place of a chortle. He'd seen a bit of their fight, but the beginning of it, or the hand to hand section, was what he saw the most of. To him, it was amusing how they operated without their powers. "Yeah, he might be just a tad sore. He's in the lower back levels of the jet. You can apologize anytime." Roulin assured with a slight snicker.
As Cecilia went on to ask about him and Andy's fight, Roulin looked up into the dull lights and slicked his bushy hair back to the chair's head. "I don't mind telling you at all Cici. I don't know how to explain it though...it's like the feeling you get when you know something is in front of you and you want it, but someone else has it. That stealing sensation..." The teen felt ashamed of himself for coveting Anderson's power like he had. He knew how it worked, but still, he wanted more of an understanding of it. "In a nutshell, I wanted his power for myself Cecilia. That makes me a bad guy doesn't it?"
~~~
"Goddamn it." Che lamented. "Crap. I knew he was going to come. The more help the merrier, but now I have more people to keep from dying...I'm happy you told me Victoria. Shows you are useful for something." Che rested back upon the couch and placed both his arm over his face groaning silently to himself while doing so. "Are you going to help us? I certainly hope so because I promise it'll be fun for you."
