Street Kids

Rhys found he was relieved that Kira had suggested Jason come along with them. Her reasons made sense anyways and he didn't mind the guy either. He was okay. But also Rhys felt a bit awkward being alone with just one other person. A group was not much better but it was more comfortable.


'I don't mind if he come along too. The more the merrier as they say. Well not too many more. Me, you and him should be fine."
 
May cannot help but let out a laugh at Sheena's words, it comes out more of a mix between a laugh and a giggle and she presses her hand to her mouth as Devin's eyes narrow. She coughs lightly to try and cover up the laugh and looks to Devin, "Of course you could just save us the trouble and go throw yourself in a lake instead." She bites her lip to hold back another laugh. "Just make sure you tie a rock or two to your foot first." A tiny laugh escapes her lips and she lightly bites her lip again to stop it.


Devin raises an eyebrow at the pair, then at May's suggestion of tying a boulder to his foot he rolls his eyes, "You know a rock or two couldn't keep me down." May shrugs, "It never hurts to try." Devin then looks to Sheena, he doesn't say anything, but the look he gives her is as if he is trying to figure her out. Why doesn't she like him?


(I reckon Devin might be the first to figure out Sheena likes May ^.^ He might even be a bast**d and try to use it against her :o )
 
Sheena, still grinning, meets May's eyes and laughs too, but she doesn't bother to hide it behind her hand. She has no qualms whatsoever about letting Devin see, and she smiles back at her, her posture and expression the most relaxed that May has seen her since they first met. She is all the happier because May seems happy, because May has made this almost into a private joke between them, because all of this is excluding Devin and including her.


Devin's comment serves to bring her back to earth a little. Looking over at him quickly, Sheena's smile stiffens a little, and her eyes narrow. Without quite realizing it she shifts herself just slightly closer to May as she stares back at Devin. Why is he looking at her like that? And with the whole keep me down comment...is he talking literal, that he wouldn't stay down if she threw him in the lake? Or more? Does he mean she won't be able to make him leave? Or even more...that she won't be able to keep him from May? That sooner or later he'll get May on his side...maybe even in his bed?


Sheena bites the inside of her cheeks before saying a little more defensively than intended, "Oh, I'm ready to try. Bring it on."


(lol you totally should. I think that seems ic of him...and I'm wondering how she would react, since she's still so sensitive even if May has been sweet about it)
 
Devin watches Sheena as shifts closer to May, her defensive tone and just the way she seemed happier around May, like she wanted May to be happy. Suddenly, a massive smirk grows on his face. Devin has an idea. He shrugs, "Go ahead girls." He holds out his arms, "Give it your best shot." He smirks at Sheena, almost as if his eyes are saying, 'I know' Of course he doesn't know, but the way she looked at May....it's the same way Devin himself looks at her.


May seems a bit surprised about Sheena's defensive tone but then grins when Devin offers for them to attack him. But then she frowns. "That is so not fair!" She exclaims suddenly, Devin rose an eyebrow, "I think it's pretty fair, you can turn into the exact same thing I can, what with your freaky shape-shifting ability." May rolls her eyes, "Yes, but you know how to handle being a Lycan, I don't!" Devin shrugs, "It's not that hard really, just gotta be careful not to bite people's heads off sometimes." May rolls her eyes and turns her body slightly so that she is facing Sheena more than Devin, "I'm up for knocking him out and dumping his body in a lake." Devin let out a fake gasp of pain and spoke sarcastically, "Nice to know I'm loved."
 
Sheena bites the inside of her cheek, hard, as she watches Devin's face break out into a knowing grin, the glint in his eyes as he looks back at her. Though he hasn't said a word, she is sure, SURE he knows exactly what she's thinking, how she feels....and there is no way this can be good. Shit, SHIT, she just knows he's going to do something to call her out on it, maybe after he's found out just enough to really humiliate her in front of May, really make May see her for the loser she really can be. Or worse, in front of everyone...what the hell is she supposed to do, if he calls her out in front of everyone? What would THEY do?


It's rather amazing to her how she has gone from caring about only her own preservation, and then May's as well, to panicking inwardly at the thought of the others judging her, maybe being disgusted by her and her feelings. It's not at all rational, should she stop to think about it. If they have not judged Kira for being a bounty hunter, May or Sheena for their former prostitution, Hood for being...whatever he is...then why would they judge her or feel any worse towards her for having feelings towards May?


Still, it's an alarming thought to her, and she seeks to cover it however she has to. However she needs to best Devin, take him down a peg first, shut him up, she has to find a way.


So Devin was a shapeshifter like May...and could become Lycan. Fine...only issue with that was, when those two shifted, their clothes came and went with them. Sheena's didn't, and the last thing she wanted was to leave herself standing naked in the streets in front of HIM when she shifted back.


"I don't need to use any stupid supernatural shifting to take YOU down," she declared, then made a sudden and impulsive rush towards him, intending to take him down with the element of surprise as much as her unusual strength.
 
(Hah, Devin's not a shifter, he's actually just full Lycan.)


As the girl rushes towards him suddenly, he blinks. "Oh s**t, you were serious?" The surprise of her attack knocks him to the floor, but before she can fully pin him he has pushed her off with his own 'unusual' strength and has leapt back to his feet, standing a bit away as he frowns at her. "Look, I don't wanna hurt you Sheena."


May blinks as Sheena runs at him, and as her body collides with his - knocking him to the floor in surprise - she giggles lightly, punching a fist in the air, "Woop! Go Sheena! Sheena 1, Devin 0!" But when Devin pushes her off and jumps to the side, May glares at him, she says nothing though, beside shoot him daggers with her eyes. What could she say? That Devin couldn't hurt her? She knew he was pretty strong, stronger than her in most forms anyway.


(Uh, quick question, would Devin be physically stronger than Sheena? 'Cause he's full Lycan and she's only half? Just wondering, don't wanna make him out to be something he's not. P.S Thanks for putting May and Sheena as Favourite Platonic Couple! And I was wondering if I could steal the awards and do my own version of it for my OCs? :D )
 
When Caroline thanked the him, Hood shook his head calmly. "Do not give thanks just yet. Who knows what could lie ahead?" he questioned, but gave a half smile all the same. Giving a nod toward the others, he made his way out the door and for the van, opening up the side door for the younger girl before moving toward the driver's side. He entered, wavering a little as he got accustomed to the new form. Taking a seat, he remembered having to hot-wire the vehicle and was struck with an idea. Moving his pointer finger forward, he shifted it into the keyhole, then twisted.


With a dull roar, the van started right away. "It would seem we are 'in business'," he said with a devilish grin, hazel eyes of his new form alight with excitement. It was true, he wanted to help the girl... but the discovery of just what his new form could do and the limits he could push it to rushed through his thoughts.
 
Rhys looked at Kira and then to back inside. "Do you want to go ask him or shall I? I guess we both could or something." Rhys was a bit anxious to get going. He hadn't been near water in a long time, especially salt water mostly because he wasn't in the mood to drown. But with two others with him, he was sure that he would be less likely or have at least people to rescue him.


(Well Faith stole the idea from me, so I give you permission.)


 
As she grabs hold of Devin, Sheena is acting on adrenaline as well as strength, and gives a good bit of effort to topple him- not quite her best, but she's certainly not playing. She had not considered his larger size, his own possible strength countered to hers, and she had been counting as well on catching him by surprise. What she had not expected was for Devin to react with such rapid reflexes, for him to not only not fully take the impact of her tackle, but also to be able to push her off- and so hard, too.


Sheena had fallen off him much harder than she would have expected or thought possible with his shove, and a flare of pain shot up her elbow where it hit the floor. Somewhat stunned, much more ticked off and embarrassed, she sits up quickly, trying her hardest not to wince. She lifts her face with dignity even as it's fairly clear she isn't actually feeling much of it.


"Wasn't trying to hurt you, or you'd be hurt. That was just screwing around."


Buckling her seatbelt quickly, Caroline sits up very straight in the passenger's seat of the car, unable to keep from smiling, but the smile is slightly hesitant, the corners seeming to flicker between a smile and a frown. She opens her mouth as she watches Hood start up the car, questions springing to her mind, then closes it, not so sure she actually wants the answer, or that she would understand it if she got it. Turning her face towards the window, she engrosses her mind in memories of her time with Lewis. She remembers driving with him in the night, the windows rolled down, her hair whipping around her face and sometimes his too as they sang along to the radio, the way she giggled at the fact that he knew every word to every Taylor Swift song, and Kelly Clarkson too.


Turning to Hood, she says impulsively, "Do you sing?"


(he almost definitely would. Sheena is 5'9, under 120 pounds, and only half Lycan, she didn't get her powers until she was sixteen, so I'm sure he would be physically larger than her anyway, and if he's full blood he certainly could kick her butt lol. And you're welcome! Definitely you can make your own awards, and let me know when you do, I'd like to read them)
 
Kira looks at him and then smiles. "I think...we both should...if he gets some acceptance by someone other then me...it might be good for him." She said walking back inside to talk to Jason. She looked at him watching the TV and then looked at Rhys with a smile. (If you would please.....post on our role play legend...that would be great...of course if you've been busy I understand.) She walks over to Jason and then looks at the TV. "What's up?" She asked looking at him.
 
Jason wasn't even pretending to watch the TV anymore. He was looking out the window and the open front door, having seen the rest of the group disperse outside. Caroline and Hood, leaving for the van, and Sheena and May carrying Devin through the door- Jason had grinned slightly at the sight. Was he really still asleep?


Rhys and Kira had also gone out, leaving the boy to himself in the house. Well then, he thought.


The movie's camera was panning out to show an army of straightbacked soldiers, but Jason was much more interested in May tripping and falling. He watched Devin- even immediately after waking up- manage to catch her, but then be pushed away. Jason felt a slight stirring of sympathy for him, but it disappeared as soon as it had appeared; ah, who was he kidding. Devin could take care of himself.


He noticed Hood do something out of his view and start up the van without having to hotwire it; and Kira and Rhys talking to the side. Sheena was jumping towards Devin, only to be shoved off and deflected easily.


Something exploded in the movie, but Jason hardly noticed.


And then suddenly there was Kira, walking back in. Jason regarded her, surprised, as she made a beeline for him. "Oh, uh," he responded to her casual comment. "Uh..." he turned to the TV. "Someone just, uh, blew up the thing the other guys were hiding..." He gestured hesitantly to the movie. "I think it was, like, an escape hatch or something. Or... Yeah."


He turned back to the older girl, curious as to why she had come back.
 
Kira nodded and then looked at him with a smile. "Aw I see." she said and then chuckled. "You weren't watching it were you." she smiled and then looked at the TV. "So seems to me you've been left inside the house." she said and then looked at him. She really did want to help him out and get him included. She looked at Rhys and then back at Jason. "Ok so we are going to a lake or just a body of water since Rhys over there apparently feels better near water." she said pointing at Rhys.
 
Devin looks at Sheena, notices how although she lifts her head, trying not to be embarrassed, she seems to be lacking in the feeling of it. He chuckles lightly at her words, "Okay, so long as you don't try to kill me." He has seeming already forgotten his earlier revelation at the possiblity of Sheena liking May as he holds out his hand for her to take, helping her up. "Uh, don't feel bad or anything. It's not like you'd be able to pin me anyway."


May scoffs at this, clearly peed off that Sheena may have gotten hurt when he shoved her, as she walks over to them, "Who is getting a big head?" She reaches out her own hand for Sheena, disregarding Devin, as she helps her up herself. Devin takes a step back, folding his arms in dejection, "Hey, it's not me having a big head." He shrugs, "It's just that Lycan's are awesomely strong." He glances to Sheena, frowning lightly, "Do you have a power? You're way too strong to be a human." He noticed this from the way she had tackled him, she did have surprising strength.


('Kay! Thanks guys! :D I shall let you know once I have made it - of course)
 
Somewhat mollified when May pushes Devin aside to help her up, Sheena gets to her feet, edging away from Devin as she shrugs, feeling a little better that he had noticed she was strong. Maybe she had hurt him just a little bit...doubtful, but at least he didn't think he could totally kick her ass any time he wanted to. Maybe, anyway. Dammit, what if he COULD?


"I'm Lycan," she said somewhat begrudgingly, not sure that she likes him knowing anything about her that he doesn't have to know, but also well aware that any of the others might mention it without thinking later down the road. And if he got her pissed off enough, then he'd definitely figure it out when she got all hairy. "Well...half, anyway."


Looking towards May, she attempted to change the subject as she sees the car in their driveway start up from the distance. "Whoa, wait...where's that going, and who's driving?"
 
"...Yeah. I mean, no." The boy cracked a smile; "I wasn't watching. 'S much more interesting watching them," said Jason, pointing out to where Sheena, May, and Devin were standing. "Don't want to miss anything...."


He just turned off the TV, then- wasting electricity more than anything- and stood up, placing the remote down on the couch arm as he rose. When Kira told him about Rhys' plan, he took a moment to look blank.


What? Why'd she- Oh! Jason gave a start."Oh, uh, I-" he gestured aimlessly in no direction in particular. "Are you, uh, I- I mean- go-" Jason floundered with his words, simultaneously trying to cover up his pause and ask if he could go with them and figure out if she was even asking that anyways and try to sound normal at the same time. "with, uh, Rhys, and.... Uh...."


Jason dropped his arms, dropping the pretense of not being completely incompetantly awkward, took a breath and asked, "Can I come?"
 
Rhys stepped back inside the house to hear Jason stumble over his words. He smiled at it and walked over to where they were.


"That is what we want," Rhys said, nodding. "I would love some company and it would be nice to get to know you better. Besides..." Rhys didn't want to say it. Say that he didn't want to be alone. After being alone for so long, he realize that is what he wanted. To not be alone. "So no worries."
 
Kira chuckles at his odd reaction. "I was asking you to come." She said and then smiled at him. She turned around and then stretched her arms a bit but cringed. She looked down and then held her side. "So um...water...I could use a nice swim." She said and then looked at Jason. "I thought you might have wanted to come..."
 
"Oh- well, uh, thanks!" Jason grinned faintly. He looked past Kira to see Rhys. "I'd love to go." He brushed back a strand of hair that was hanging over his eyes- a haircut hadn't been the most important thing on his mind the past few months. "Do you, uh, know where the closest lake is?"
 
Rhys nodded at Jason's question. He was happy to have the pair going with him.


"I can still sense water in a way. It's weak but I can find the closest one. I've also been to a few anyways." Rhys couldn't help it. He was drawn in by water. It was hard to resist it's pull. But no matter how long he was in it, he could not breathe down there or swim as strongly. He could not return home. But no reason to say this. He didn't want to ruin the good mood that was building.
 
Kira looks at Rhys and then nodded, if needed she could scout the area....which would be good considering the appearence of her demon stalker. She gripped her side, if she could shift it would help heal her sided but there would be no way of knowing if she could hold onto another form long enough to not fall out of the sky. She decided not to mention this and just walk out. "Well if you two don't mind I think she should get going." She said and then looked down not up for a long walk but she wanted to go and personaly wanted to prove she wasn't weak.
 
Jason walked closer to the door while responding to Rhys. "Right. Merman stuff. You can lead the way, then!" He gestured forward to the front door. He sidestepped a coffee table, turning back to see if the others were following. What's the hurry? he wondered at Kira's statement, but didn't comment on it.


Outside he could see the van pulling out of the driveway.
 
Mirroring the girl, Hood too buckled his seatbelt, stretching just slightly to get accustomed to the seat of the vehicle. His new form felt so unlike the old one or that of his ex-Host - similar, but with striking differences. It was astounding, but bothersome getting used to. When the girl questioned him, the creature tilted his head. "Hmm," he wondered aloud, thinking for a moment. "No, I don't believe I do. Or rather, I have never given it much thought."


Before putting the vehicle into reverse, Hood turned to stare at her, face growing a bit more serious. "I don't wish to alarm you, but I feel I should be blunt in asking," he began, eyes going cold as steel. "What are you really doing here? You did not simply wander our way by chance. No, someone sent you. I can feel... no, sense them."


Turning back to face the windshield, the being spoke again. "I will still help you find your father, whatever your answer," he explained thoughtfully. "I just want to know the truth."
 
At this question, Caroline's heart skips a beat, and her skin breaks out into goosebumps all up and down her arms. She shivers involuntarily, and crossing her arms protectively, hugs herself, hunching over as though to guard herself from his view. Her mind races, alarm coloring her thoughts.


How had he known? Was she that obvious? What would he do to her? Would he hurt her? Would he hurt her father? What would he do if he knew she lied...what would he do if she lied now?


"Can you read my mind?" she asked in a rush, her voice tight and nearly panicked.
 
Devin frowns at her word, well, word. "Half? You're half lycan?" He didn't bother to hide his shock in his words at all. Suddenly, he got a nice, sharp elbow in the ribs and stumbled back with a small groan, it wasn't that it hurt that much, it was just unexpected. He looked up to see which of the two had elbowed him, and got his answer when he noticed May glaring at him. "Could you be any more ignorant?" She hissed, her eyes flaring. May could be freakin' scary when she wanted to. He glanced to Sheena, almost worriedly, before looking back to May, "I'm sor--" "Do not apologize to me, nitwit." She nodded her head in Sheena's direction. Devin gulped before turning to face Sheena, speaking awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his head, "Uh, I'm sorry. It's just that my family were totally against the idea. It was considered disgust---" Smack. May's hand made loud contact with the back of Devin's head and he winced lightly, closing his eyes for a second. "That's enough." May didn't let the whole past tense Jace had used slip past her. Enough though she knew him better than anyone here, she knew nothing about his family or what had become of them. She then noticed Sheena had asked about the car and she glanced to it, "Oh!" Her eyes suddenly glittered, "Why don't we find out?" Attempting to leave Devin behind, and get Sheena away from him before he said anything else stupid, she grabbed Sheena's hand and began to run in the direction of the car, she was pretty damn fast for such a petite girl.


(It's up to you if they catch up and jump in the car or not xD )
 
Rhys nodded, leading the way to the nearest lake. At least it wouldn't be salt water and that was good. The temptation to drown himself would be lower than normal. Still it would be there. So he had to keep control over it. He saw the van leave, knowing it had to hold Caroline and Hood. They were planning about something to do with Caroline's dad. He also saw May and Sheena go after them.


Rhys then focused his attention back to the destination at hand. He was alert though. A wrong sensation was beginning to rise up from his stomach as if something bad might happen. It was familiar but not the same as the sense he got when the Witch was nearby. He didn't like it, but didn't say anything. Maybe it was just worry for his new friends.
