Episode 4: The Jailbreak of Dawn

[Necessity4Fun]

She watched as the store worker promptly jumped over the counter and came to aid her. Cecilia wasn't sure people were supposed to do that, but relief and gratitude still washed over her, with a ting of confusion and amusement upon being called 'love'. That wasn't something the Italian could say that had happened before, it was certainly a nickname that was as cute as it was awkward...


As Cecilia blushed slightly from the name, the cashier had told the cheerful little girl from before, and the blacked haired boy that was probably with her, to leave the money in the counter while they weren't there. She guessed they had already been given a value to pay then, otherwise this might be a weird thing to ask your costumers to do...wouldn't it? The girl wasn't really aware of the city convenience store rules yet.


Still puzzled about that, the little Italian followed the man back inside the store, giving him a few words of gratitude, after all, he had STOPPED work to help her!

"Thank you so much for guiding me, kind store employee...whose name I don't really know!", the girl laughed softly, "I really appreciate that you stopped everything so fast. I would have waited for entire queue to be done if I had to, but you came so quick! Really, thank you!", she smiled happily at him.


Going deep into the store, eventually the two arrived in front of a door with the sayings 'Employees only'. Cecilia didn't reply remember if she had passed in front of this door on her earlier lost adventures or not, but with how it stood in a unexpected and hidden place, at least for her, she doubted she would have found it anyway... So, employees got a lounge in the city, huh? It wasn't something little towns really had since they all knew each other... You could sit beside the costumer for your break, and have a nice friendly chat! The Italian guessed they weren't really allowed to chat with their costumers in here. Well, at least the workers seemed to able to chat with themselves... Thought that still seemed a bit sad and tad lonely to her.


Entering the room, the girl was in awe at seeing a new, entire cut off of the store, corridor inside. There was an entire complex hidden away in here! WOA! While she thought about what all the different doors could be, as she read all the different signs on them, the nice employee had gone to search for the brooms. Finding it rather quickly, -Other people did have better sense of direction and such than her- Cecilia made her way to stand beside him, looking at all the other neatly stoked cleaning products for a while, until the man lent her a broom with a heartwarming smile. The girl gave him a smile back, despite having been called something embarrassing again:


"Oh, thank you for all the trouble mister!", she had managed to reply.


But then, his entire speech and stance went darker.


Receiving something akin to a threat, Cecilia simply stayed frozen in place, eyes wide in both confusion and a speck of fear. Had, had she done something wrong? The girl stood in the spot for a while, merely holding the broom, thinking back on all the events so far. She had thought this had been a pleasant chatter! And she hadn't really done anything that could be considered too much to the Americans, at least she hadn't realised anything that would. Clueless about which antic of hers might have triggered such reaction, the Italian nearly jumped when the man called for her again:

"B-but I need to clean...The bread aisle.", she had informed, lacking any cheerfulness from earlier, curling her back onto herself as she didn't feel comfortable with this exchange anymore.


Unable to ask for guidance to said bread aisle, Cecilia didn't respond to the tease.


Staying a little longer to get a dustpan too, the little Italian followed the worker back to whatever place he was leading her to, front or bread aisle, holding the cleaning utensils close to her in an embrace and walking a step or two behind him. There was no chatting this time, just an eerie silence between the two.

The hell was this man doing?


Klaus, not a fragile and light man by all means, was quite literally thrown aside by his would-be captor, sent tumbling down to the ground. After shaking off the blunt force trauma, he found that he had now been placed in the care of another former colleague. Sinister Mister Ravemaster, the Music-Caster of Disaster. Fantastic man, agreeable and upstanding, if a bit eccentric. Then again, who in the world wasn't just a little bit weird? Some people like music too much and some people were branded murderers for upholding their nation's honor. The poison man flashed Asher a small, harmless smile while raising his arms in surrender. As much as the gesture embarrassed him, Klaus genuinely meant no harm to these good people (unless Danny was somehow here) and there was no better way to show it than the classic.


"Quite an eventful day, eh, Torchinovich? I don't think Baltimore has seen this much action since the Civil War." He looked around, but his glance was taken in by the unfamiliar sight of an angry Aaron Mallory. Uh oh. The big lug, as a stroke of luck, had planet-destroying powers of gravity that Klaus never cared enough to ponder. To prevent calamity every day, he maintained a patient and demure persona as a form of self-control. Should he succumb to anger, however....well, this day could very well be the last day. This was strange, Aaron had plenty of patience even in the worst of times, why would he suddenly just become angry as if...he was being...


Controlled.


"Say," Klaus said back to the music man. "Has Mallory ever been that angry? Or angry in general? That doesn't seem like the lovable hunk of singularity we're used to knowing...I'm getting a bad feeling about this." If need be, he might just have to knock him out completely with his poison gas before he could overkill the Chipmunk King and consequently, everyone else. He remarked mentally that this must be how Aaron felt upon seeing him, as a threat that needed to be neutralized.

"What's the matter, kid, you gonna buy something or nah?" The self-proclaimed Davis Lamar turned to him, face contorted in disdain. "You're soaking up the air conditioning, just standing there with that edgy look."


Eden raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Nine dollars for all that? Hell yeah; I'm getting some more food!" He raced across the aisles and found all the expensive food he could. He stuffed his bags with meats, sweets, pastries, and as many spices he could find. He lifted his head to the ceiling and thanked fate for the opportunity before racing back to the register, desperately battling the ever-present threat of his overflowing bags.


However, when he returned, the man was gone and a young boy passed through the doors with bags of groceries, leaving only the little girl in front of him. Turning to Eden, she said, “Welp, looks like I got lost in the candy, silly me! Better go catch up with my friend! Good luck with Mister Cashier!”


Eden walked up to the counter and began dumping his bags onto the conveyor belt when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a lack of green U.S. presidents. Watching the two kids walk away from the store, he grinned knowingly. "Davis" wasn't here, after all–there was absolutely no threat. His bags were in hand; he could simply exit the store without any repercussions. He could leave. He raised his hand and dragged his fingers across the cool metal of the limiter around his neck. Maybe not today.


Leaning against the counter, he waited for Davis's return and was gifted it shortly after. He returned with his same upbeat expression, but in the wake of his shadow followed Cecilia with a fearful expression. Focusing on the two, Eden raised himself back off the counter and jerked the gears of his brain into motion. "So," he called out, the side of his mouth upturned. "You gonna check out my food or nah? You're soaking up the air conditioning." He glanced to his god-forsaken mountain of food and thought, Well, good luck.

Keeping pretty much to herself Bianca looked over her shoulder to make sure that Chomper was alright. Although a completely waterproof robot the small cat-pack had a serious hatred of getting wet, just like a cat would. Seeing the tiny bot begin to grind it's teeth Bianca knew that she'd have to make it up to the poor thing. Giving a soft chuckle she patted Chomper's side before turning back to Kendrick as he explained that he might be able to track the group. She looked away thinking about doing something, If those criminals are able to be tracked then they either are incompetent or it's a trap. Seeing as they made no demands I'm starting to think the latter. Looking around at the others she wondered if they thought the same thing. She knew she could handle herself but, some of these kids are green and others...I'm not sure if they can handle going into this if it's a trap.

Staring at Kendrick as he seemed to be lost in thought the look on his face made her feel uneasy. Can he handle this? Especially if this ends up going south? Her eyes narrowed, but she kept to herself as the fish girl seemed to snap him out of it. Giving a silent sigh of relief smiling she nodded as he gave the girl his phone. It was surprising to see such a young child here, then again this facility is for all those with powers, so it shouldn't. Stretching she popped her neck and looked over to the lady form earlier who surprisingly was a teacher. Wondering what she'd say she crossed her arms and waited for what was to come.
