Connor didn't notice much when people started to wake up. But now with a plan underway, he yawned and rubbed his eyes. Now he just had to convince everyone else to go along with it. Leon's plea to keep everyone in the Order alive did not go unheard. Connor tried his best to make sure there were as few casualties as possible. He was no terrorist. He just wanted his friend back.
"Have you been awake this whole time?"
Connor looked up to a well-dressed fashion designer who snuck away after waking up to go talk to Connor alone. "Finally we meet each other and it had to be in this place. Clayton sees you as a hero, you know." Luca sat across from him.
"You've known Clayton since he was a kid," Connor replied, "What are the chances that he's... Alright?"
Luca's smile faded. "If they need all the zodiacs I'm sure he's alive. If you mean whether he's hurt or not... I can just see him as being eight years old again. I see him scared, but too worried about what other people think to admit it. I know he's cried at least once. I know he's worried Clone had been kidnapped too. But I also know that he hasn't given up. Even if he has no idea how you'd know, I bet he's just waiting for the minute you burst through that door like a golden-haired Adonis with his ticket to freedom wrapped around you like a cape of sunlight. Whenever he calls me he has something else to tell me about you. I was a little jealous."
Connor looked confused, "Why? Aren't you a well-off fashion designer? You have such a good life from what I hear. I'm a poor orphan kid that leads other social rejects to own property among gangs and thugs."
"None of that matters," Luca dismissed, "You're someone who fights for what they believe in. All I can do is design for charity or donate some publicity here and there. You are always trying to do whats right even if you don't want the credit, but Clayton's watched you and he thinks you're the greatest. I thought you were taking my best friend away."
Connor shook his head. "I only do what other people would do in my position. Clayton is the one that always pulls through, no matter what. Besides, you'll always be his best friend. He still wears that earring you got him. He never tells me anything. You're the one he goes to when he's in trouble or needs advice."
Luca smiled a little. "Really, I'm the only one?"
Connor nodded. "Good to meet you, Luca. I'll get our best friend out of that building; I promise." He stood up and left Luca there, heading over to Aaron who just woke up. "Aaron... I gotta talk to you alone." The two of them went off to somewhere secluded.

Lizz sat there in silence for a while thinking about the Order. As a kid growing up she heard all sorts of stories about the organization, a few about how great they were to the people but many more about the mysterious and danger that the place brought. Now after everything that she had learned and seen with Peng and with them kidnapping Clayton she was positive that the Order was nothing but evil.
As quietly as she could she moved closer to Will, there were a few still sleeping and she didn't want to wake them any sooner than they would need to be. Upon reaching him she sat beside the top of his head and gently stroked the top of his head, running her fingers through his hair as her mind once again wandered in thought.

"Mmmmm," Bill cooed, curling up a bit closer to Lizz. It was such a soothing feeling; something he wasn't used to before Lizz came into his life. Though his mind filled with worry and fear, there was a glimmer of happiness and comfort. The dark past he never even told Connor plagued his mind at times still. Especially before a large fight like this.
He woke up some minutes before and looked up at Lizz, lost in thought. He gently raised his hand to cover hers, and gave her a gentle smile.
Luca came up to Jin and hopped over beside him. He snuggled the peacock and made a coo of delight. "Hello Jin you perfect man~ How are you feeling?"
"But I'm the last one they need," Aaron argued.
"I know, but Aaron, there is no other way to know where they're hiding or what exactly they're planning. You still have your phone, don't you?"
"Yeah I do but-... What are you doing?"
"Irene has a tracker on a ton of us, but not you yet."
"Tracker? Wait, but-... Hey, why don't you just follow the tracker on Clayton then?"
"Clayton damaged that chip Irene's got on him a while back; he hates that she's so paranoid about it so she can never keep a tracker on him. Besides, he doesn't have his phone."
"But why would-"
"Aaron, you gotta trust me. There are mind readers in the Order, right? I have to give you as little information as possible because if they find you then everyone is in trouble. You already know too much already. Too bad we don't have a mind-eraser in our team or this would be less dangerous."
Loki hid in earshot pretending to be asleep.

Reno was still asleep, curled up in his blankets beside Loki. He had a bit of trouble going to sleep to begin with, as he was used to beds and not floors.
Nexan was also still asleep, curled into a small ball. She had learned to sleep on almost any kind of surface, going to sleep wasn't as hard like it had been for Reno.
Clone had woken up not too long ago, and was listening to the others quietly, her tail twitching as she eavesdropped. Connor seemed to be taking alot of precautions, not that she blamed him. This whole thing was frightful to think about. What of one of them gets killed? Would the Order do that? She crossed her arms and rested her chin on them, furrowing her eyebrows.
( I no longer care about coloring my posts. 8I Bluh. )

((I stopped coloring forever ago. XP After I realized I was doing nine characters at once I was like. '...******** it.' ))
Connor left to speak to a couple of the other key players in their particular roles. Afterward, he'd get everyone together and tell everyone their position as a team. The next person he went to speak to was Clone. He saw the timid girl resting, but not sleeping. He smiled a little and walked up to her, sitting beside her. "You're Clone, right? Clayton's been getting close to you I hear. I'm sorry you had to get wrapped up in this... Look I... Have a very important role for you. Its going to be scary, but I promise you'll be perfectly safe."
Loki kept feeling Reno tossing and turning. He didn't blame him; Loki had a hard time sleeping as well. And with his low-blood sugar, he felt like utter s**t. He had to get food in him before he became deliriously desperate to keep his blood-sugar up. He looked over at Reno. "Wait here," he said, and sat up. He put his glasses on and slowly started to get up. He was wobbly and looked sick, but he had to get to his bag of things to eat somenthing or he'd never get through the day.
Jacob never slept either, but he took the time to lie down beside Nexan. She was interesting to him. After all, very few people ever survived Merthage. He had so many questions to ask her... But first he needed to get on her good side. He was going to save Ren, her friend, and perhaps gain her allegiance and her knowledge. Besides, if the Order is collecting ALL the zodiacs, it was likely they were attempting to rival Gods. As much as Jacob hated most other gods, Jacob couldn't have them as a threat.

Jin leaned back and smiled cuddled Luca. "Much better now. All this fear and doubt isn't good for me." He said. "You're going to have to be my source of power Luca. You need to believe in me..as hard as you can alright?" He said. "If you do that..they can't stop me." He said with a smile.

Wills coo pulled her mind back to the present with a smile on her face. He had that magical power to make her smile no matter what was going on in her life. All the worry she had about what was going to go on today was settled now with a feeling of peace.
She laid down next to him and rested her head on his chest, interlacing her fingers with his. Everyone was awake meaning it was almost time for everything to go down but she didn't want to move from this peaceful moment.

Leon slowly woke up with a yawn. Everyone seemed to be talking to others or being worried about what was going to happen. Leon simply stayed curled up as a wolf. He had no one, at least until he rescued his family. He was going to give up all this craziness after he saved his family. He would find some place safe and just live out the rest of his life happily with his family.
He looked over at Connor, wondering how this was going to go down. He hesitated, he hadn't heard from his internal voice from quiet a while. Had that voice abandoned him too? He tried to contact it, wondering if it had any adivce, he was starting to grow a little nervous.

'Don't worry, Leon,' it said as immediately as Leon tried to contact it, 'You will never be alone, for I'll always be here for you. You are doing well; your parents will be proud.'
Bill kept his fingers intertwined with hers. "I love you," he told Lizz, "I don't want you to get hurt. I'm not so sure about this..." Meaning he wasn't sure about Lizz going to see Peng.
"I believe you~" Luca cuddled with him, "You're unstoppable; the strongest there is. No one will ever beat you, Jin. Don't ever worry about not being believed in, because I always will. Nathan is scared, but I know he believes in you, too."

They couldn't have avoided this topic any longer though she wished they could. She sat up a bit so that she could look at him, "I love you to. I know your not, and truthfully I'm not 100% on it either...but if anyone can get to him and distract him or at the very least cause a small distraction with the Order its Leon and I. I have a feeling Leon will be of much better use else where....but we are under Conner's direction. So wherever he puts us is where we will go." she kissed his lips gently.
"No matter what happens, whether we are in this together or separate you need to focus on your own task and not on me. I care for Clayton but he is not worth me losing you"

Jin smiled and pulled Luca close also reaching for Nathan and pulling him close. "Believe..keep believe and no matter what don't stop..no matter what you see happen to me..do not falter..do not show fear. I can defeat anything get out of any situation..as long as you believe." He told them.

Clone sat up as Connor went to sit beside her. She listened carefully, her hands resting in her lap.
"What do I have to do?" She asked, trying to sound confidant. She didn't want to be viewed as meek simply because she was a little shy. Her initial fear had ebbed down a bit now that she's gotten some rest, she felt more determined to help now.
Reno's eyes opened a crack, his vision blurred due to his glasses sitting beside him. He grumbled and rubbed his eyes, feeling for his glasses and putting them on once they were found. He sat up, blinking as he looked around. His back and shoulders ached a bit.
Nexan stirred as more people got up and started talking. Her eyes blinked open and she slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. She kept a blanket draped over her shoulders as she watched everyone else talk with each other. She wasn't sure how she was going to be of much help, she wasn't skilled in much of anything except playing the flute.

"I believe in you Jin, with all my heart!" Luca replied, enjoying being close to the peacock.
"I believe too, I believe we're all gonna die," Nathan muttered.
"Now Nathan, don't be like that. We know how brave Jin can be, and I just know how strong he can be. If believing in him is all he needs, then we should do that with everything we have."
Nathan was still wary. It was the Order, after all. There was a reason it lasted for thousands of years.
Bill held her hands and looked down at her. "B-but... If I lost you... I wouldn't even just be losing you. We have a child to think about now, and... I just don't want you to be put in any danger. I don't trust Peng farther than I can throw him," he said, then realized he could probably throw Peng very far, "What I mean is, half, or even a quarter as I can throw him... I don't trust him at all is what I'm trying to say."
"Well, okay," Connor said, "The Order already knows your connection with Clayton. I gather that if they need anything out of him, they'll have to try and activate his power, which can only happen when he's cornered and without any other option. If you got caught, they would take you to him. Even if the Zodiacs are in different areas, YOU would be brought SPECIFICALLY to Clayton. I need you and Aaron to be together and to get captured. and I need you to give Clayton these..." Connor handed her a pair of brass knuckles, cold to the touch, and a little heavy. "Tell him Irene MADE them. He should know what to do from there."
Loki was hidden in a corner with Aaron, and only Reno was at an angle to be able to see as Loki put a hand on Aaron's forehead and Aaron collapsed. Loki took a couple steps back and leaned on the wall, clutching his head.
Jacob looked over at Nexan as she woke up, and he smiled gently at her. "Did you sleep well? How are you feeling?"

(( are we skipping them finding out about the baby? I'm going with it unless you say otherwise))
"I'm not asking you to trust him babe, I know we can't. I highly doubt however that they are going to kill me, I'm just hoping to distract him and maybe some of them from everyone else.' she said squeezing his hand lightly to keep hers from shaking. Ever since they had found out she was with child the world felt like a dream as if she was in some one else's body. She wanted everything to stop, for them to be in Torusa, with a few days to process what this now meant for everything.
"Whatever is going to happen is going to happen soon and I..." she sighed trying to keep herself steady and calm, "I don't want us to argue back and forth. Conner has a plan, lets just trust him. I promise I will be extremely careful"

Jin smiled and wrapped his arms tightly around Nathan and Luca. "Nathan I need you to trust me and believe in me ok? Have I ever failed you?" He asked nuzzling the man. "Trust me..I promise you'll be safe Nathan..you'll always be safe." he told him.
