At the sound of Esther's voice, Sabaku glanced at the door and her hands dropped away from Toby. She made eye contact with him, but he was already leaving. She took his hand. She nodded to him and went with him, giggling as he put on his coat. "If it gets any longer, you might just trip over," Sabaku commented, releasing Toby's smallish hand to put on her own jacket and walked to the door. She spotted Muraki and signalled to him with her eyes. "Doctor Muraki, we are sorry to keep you waiting," she said maturely before holding out her hand for Toby to retake and, wrapping a maroon scalf around her neck and snuggling her chin beneath it, she smiled sweetly. "Let's go."

There was a crash as a window broke and a winged figure came down on the floor. His eyes were wide as dinner plates as he screamed and writhed on the ground, trying to avoid something outside. His pupils darted back and forth, seeing something apparently no one else could. He clawed and scratched at the ground and crawled away from the shattered window. Outside, a gruff voice said, "Come out, ya winged freak." The boy screamed louder, and jerked up with his arm out with palm outward. A lightning bolt came out, and a kind of hog-like animal fell from the branch of a tree, dead. Now that the boy was more calmed down, you could get a good look at him. He was blond, with short hair. He had a nice build. He was wearing a white t-shirt under a black leather jacket. Both had large slits in the back for his large, feathery white wings. On the edges of his wings there was a number tatooed on: 81209. There was a red cloth band that said in tiny letters: EXPERIMENT 81209 UNSTABLE CONTROL_1 WRAP AROUND HEAD. Though he stopped twitching as much, his clear blue eyes were huge and filled with fear.

Sebastian, who had been loitering in the doorway (reluctant to go back to work) leapt nearly a foot in the air. He hadn't been around gifted people in a while, so he wasn't used to these kinds of incidents like they were. His interest was instantly piqued by the lightning bolt that this guy used - could they share the same gift? As soon as he thought of this, he also realised that they couldn't. The stranger used only one hand to produce lightning, whereas Sebastian always used both. He also decided that his own lightning was more controlled, and focused, and all-round better. Sebastian's arrogant nature always got the better of him. It was true that he had worked hard on his gift, but he preferred to put his skill down to himself being innately superior to other people. Recovering, he spent a second hovering in the doorway, debating silently. He simply had to go back to work; he'd already got a warning this week and if he got mixed up with gifteds then he'd likely lose his job. On the other hand he was interested in this lightning kid, as well as catch up with Dr. Daijo. Not to mention that voice coming from outside... could it be some sort of bounty hunter?

Muraki had seen the boy coming, braced himself by turning away and pulled Sabaku and Toby into his arms protectively, like a father protecting his children. When the shattered glass cleared he inspected the boy and ran over to his side, seeing his fear. Muraki walked up to the window calmly, looking at the people outside, who had been trying to capture this boy again. He silently turned, with his back to the window and closed his eyes. With his palms outstreached, pointed upwards, he breathed out deeply and the long smokey substance he had used to heal Vi appeared, seeping through his skin, clinging like threads of web. It began to crawl across the floor, each peice of glass being lifted on the bed of foggy silver-blue mist. Finally, it began to float and the window built itself back up again, like nothing had ever smashed it. Muraki opened his eyes and took a deep breath in, the silvery blue shooting down his throat as he breathed, coughing slightly. "Phew, that's exausting." He said, clutching his chest and looking at his own organs, making sure he was okay. "Boy, come with us, we will help you." He said, offering a kind hand towards the boy. He flicked his hand for someone to open the door hurriedly so they could take refuge in the Inn.

The window smashed sending glass across the living room. Hugh and ester both reacted instinctively, drawing their weapons and turning towards the noise. Hugh took milli seconds to realised what had happened and before anyone had even took their arms away from shielding them selves, Hugh had leapt onto the window sill and jumped form there to the roof tops and into the sky. Searching the surroundings for danger. Ester gasped and tucked her weapon away “yes, quickly to the inn, Hugh will make sure we are not followed” she instructed going over and out into the streets, searching for signs of Hugh’s blond hair. Christopher, not being trained for this kind of thing almost dropped a degree when the window smashed. Startled he stared after Hugh with awe. Then watched Muraki fix the window with equal fascination. His friend finished and swayed Christopher’s cold leather bound gloves touches him briefly, making sure he wasn’t about to fall over. “Are you ok Muraki?” he asked, as ester bustled people out of the apartment.

He jerked away from anyone he could, his eyes still wide. Still, he had an urge to trust these people, for some reason...

((Make your posts longer! Or You'll get yet another warning.))
Muraki thanked Christopher with a nod, prying himself from his friends cold arms. He watched Hughe leave, Esther standing by the door, ready to run when the order was given. Muraki didn't wait for an answer from the boy, he leant down and wrapped his arms around them, restraining them aswell as comforting them. Whispering their ear he said "Trust us, we're the good guys." And loosened his grip of his arms, showing that Muraki had already placed his trust in the boy. When this close, he noticed the electronic in the headband, they were advanced and even Muraki's robots couldn't match what it could do. He tried to peice the story behind it's creation together, but without the boys Co-operation, he couldn't fill in the gaps. "Please, come with us, we have food, safety, shelter. But we don't have time, hurry." He said, breathing heavily still from fixing the window.

Abel was walking towards the flat when he saw the window smash and a familiar face leaps forth it split seconds after. “Oh goodness” he said suddenly. “Stay by me” he instructed the boy at his side, drawing his pistol from his hip he ran towards the noise, skittering to a halt just before the door. “Ester! What’s happened?” he asked. “a boy, came through the window, followed by anti-gifted, Muraki has bought a new Inn as base, we’re going there” she replied swiftly. Both of their eyes went to the roof across the road, there Hugh stood balanced atop a TV aerial, he flicked his hand gentle, signalling it was clear. Ester swiftly turned inside “quickly now, Muraki lead the way!” she instructed. Abel stood outside weapon drawn keeping a highly trained eye out for anything. He glanced back at the blue winged boy “go with them” he instructed “trust me” he said, a stern look conveyed the trustworthiness in his voice. Christopher saw this and swallowed, waiting for his friend to move, this was certainly not what he expected to be doing on Christmas eve.

Muraki got up quickly, eyeing the boy. He wasn't that injured,a few cuts and bruises, maybe a broken bone, he couldn't focus now. "Alright, Abel take care of the one you brought, Esther take care of our visitor and Sebastian if he's coming, Christopher, I'll leave you up the back with Toby and Sabaku.
Toby nodded, grabbing Sabaku's hand tighter and began to pull her towards Christopher and the door. "Toby, Sabaku, Ice-man." He said, introducing everyone to everyone before standing behind the cold man, shivering at the breeze of icy cold that rolled off him. He looked at the boy and tried to look into his mind. "Argh" He cried, releasing Sabaku's hand and clutching his head, squeezing it tightly. He felt like it was going to explode, the boy's mind was inpentrable. He focused on Muraki's calming thoughts instead and soon the feeling passed. What had stop him? He blinked and refocused, trying to follow behind Christopher as closely as possible, making sure Sabaku was in check.
Muraki swung his eye around so fast it would make others dizzy to look at it. He checked every possible route, looking at what would happen if he went that way. It was like looking into the future, but it was only for a certain amount of time and he could only watch himself. Picking the safest possible route, he signalled to Hugh and Abel, who were following him. "This way, through the alleyway makes it only a block." He said, and dissapeared, swiftly followed by everyone else.

staying by Abel's side as he told him to Reiko looked up to see what was happening. Running beside the man and stopping quickly behind him the blue haired boy heard Abel shout to someone. It seemed to Reiko that they were all moving to a new base, as Abel told the smaller boy to trust him he nodded and jumped up stretched his wings and began to follow the others.

Hikaru as usual was walking around the City, no one bothering her. She quite often walked around the town just thinking to herself. Walking through a part of the town where a lot of Flats and Apartments were including her own heading home she heard a window smash nearby. Running to the source of all the drama. She seen alot of people fleeing including Reiko. Not letting herself be seen by her good friend when he had gone however Father Abel who she had met at the church still standing there looking for something. She ran down toward the father standing there, "Whats going on aroudn here?" Thank god i have my arrows on me... She thought thinking she just might have to fight.

Abel looked down from the skies at the voice. “a boy just smashed through the window chased by hostiles “he said slipping into his training terminology “with the incident the other day, one can never be too careful. We’re moving to somewhere safer” he said “quickly, its not safe here” he instructed, pushing her after the group, turning himself and running as he was instructed, taking very little time to catch up. Ester had already fallen into place with the group keeping a trained eye out, Christopher was taken by the rush and moved with them with little fuss, making sure to keep an eye open ready to defend with ice if need be. Hugh stayed ahead of the group making sure the path was cleared, by leaping from roof to roof, scanning the ground below with eagle like vision.
