Leo shook his head and calmed down a bit as he wiggled out of Elsa's arms. "I don't care. I refuse to believe it! You were protecting yourself, and thats what I plan on telling the police when or if they find us!!" Leo snapped at Ash, though he didn't really mean to snap. Raki just seemed to hit all of the right buttons.Elsa released Leo and stood back a little, just listening to what the boy had to say. Shortly after Leo's little snap Elsa's phone started to ring. Elsa took a few steps away from the angry mob and took the phone call. A few minutes later Elsa returned to the group and gave a soft sigh. "Daniel is on his way back from his meeting. Apparently him and the commissioner had a little chat about the charges. He will be coming home with news."

All the while, Chase was trying to comprehend what was going on. He could only assume that the boy Leo was yelling at somehow knew the brothers, and he was apparently Asher's biological brother, but all the yelling had gotten him disoriented. "What the heck was that about?" he asked, though it was likely his voice was lost to the commotion."We'll need your testimony, then, if it turns out Grandpa doesn't bring good news," Raki said. Knowing how uncompromising the law usually was, he highly doubted his grandfather could get the charges dropped. If anything, he probably just managed to get them reduced if anything.

Leo didn't like the way he was still talking. "Stop being so negative." he said softly, moving away from the spot he was in to figure out where all of the furniture was in the room, which required a lot of stumbling. "Leo's right. It won't do anybody any good to think so badly of a situation." Elsa said softly. "We need to think positively of what might happen. Assume the worst and hope for the best." "Happy thoughts." Rin said softly as she twirled a little here and there, watching her dress flare out.

Daniel arrived back at the headquarters with high spirits. He smiled at everyone in the waiting room. "Good! You're all here. I have wonderful news!" he declared. "It turns out the recently deceased criminal was a serial killer who has evaded authorities for the longest time. With that in mind, it's been settled that Asher's charges should be dropped. Everything will be fine now."

Leo gave a soft sigh of relief at the new Daniel had announced. He felt like he could breathe once again. "Thats good news." he said quietly, though if anything he was just glad he got to prove Raki wrong. Elsa smiled a little, though she tried to hide it. She didn't care to let people see weaker sides of herself except for Rin but she was different since they were sisters after all. "Should I show them to their hotel? Or have you found an apartment for them already?"

"One of the vacant rooms has been prepared already. Please follow me," Daniel said, heading to the seemingly normal hallway. After a randomized number of steps, each varying in length, he found a familiar wrinkle in the wallpaper and pressed it, a small click being heard. The floor in front of him then sank down to reveal a set of steps into the underground. "Young ones first."

Leo felt the ground shake a little and stumbled a bit, grabbing Asher's arm tightly to keep from falling down. From the sound of it, Daniel wanted him to go first but...go down what exactly? Leo wanted Asher to go with him but at the same time, joining this place was such a big step in Leo's life. He decided it was time that maybe he start taking more big steps in his life, and going into the darkness by himself was indeed a very big step. Leo took a small step forward and could feel a step downward. Leo knew he would look stupid but he didn't feel like falling on his face and so sat on the first step and crawled down the stairs, standing on flat ground after a few minutes.

The stairway was was rather dark, but there was a light past a door on flat ground. Asher couldn't help but wonder if the actual organization's headquarters was beyond the door. Once Leo had reached the bottom, he himself followed, careful not to miss a step. "Sheesh. It feels like walking into a dungeon or something."

Leo heard Ash coming down the stairs as well and gave a soft sigh of relief. "Its cold down here too." he said softly, hearing more footsteps coming down the stairs and awaiting the voice to match the steps."Thats because we're underground. This is an old underground army bunker that had been transformed into our home." Elsa said with a little smile, coming down the stairs as well with Rin following closely behind her."Yes, this is home." Rin said softly, joining her sister's side and holding onto her arm. "This is where everyone sleeps, but so far it's just....the three of us." Rin sounded a little disappointed about this fact.

"Hey! Don't forget me!" Raki said with a faked annoyed voice. "Just because I'm not usually here doesn't mean I don't live here.""Wait, three? Or four? I thought your unit was functional for years, so shouldn't there be others?" Chase said, referring to their previous meeting. Sure, Old Damican had never said so directly, but he had mentioned something about others having been of help to the crime-fighting unit. "What happened to the other visionaries or the mind-readers or anyone else?""Well, they often moved elsewhere in the country. There are a great many cities that need them," Daniel explained once Raki and Chase had moved. "Considering this city isn't as big as others, the government found no need to have many of the members here."

Elsa nodded, remembering the many people they had when this place was first starting out. "Me and Rin were a couple of the first people who were recruited." She said softly, placing her hand on Rin's for a brief moment. Rin smiled a little. "The bunker was full of people...." she said softly. "I miss them."Elsa turned her attention back to Ash. "This place has at least ten rooms, big enough to house two people at a time. It was meant to hold an entire army back in the war days. They built it sturdy enough to withstand the elements over time. The only problem is that it does get a little on the cold side. Each room has heaters, the kitchens are upstairs. Everyone shares the food. Me and Rin share a room, the rest of you can find a room as well."Rin heard a truck honk its horn just outside the house. "Movers are here Elsa.....I will bring them inside." With that she climbed back up the stairs to direct the movers with Asher's and Leo's belongings.

Raki opened the outlined door and revealed a strangely futuristic room. "Well, here's the crime fighting base. Welcome to Legion," he said to the new members, or at least those who were present. "Everything will be explained when the other recruits arrive. Consider your first days here the honeymoon session."

Leo smiled a little at the term 'honeymoon' from Raki. It made Leo blush a little to think him and Leo were on their 'honeymoon'. "Should we pick our room? It sounds like the movers are here, they'll be in this area soon. And since I can't see, I guess it's up to you which room we take." he said to his brother, wondering if he was even looking at him.

Asher couldn't help but stare at Raki, almost as if he was trying to comprehend that his long-lost brother was really there. Perhaps he should dislike him, as the boy had been rather hostile before their grandfather had cleared things up, but it was probably the brotherly side of him that just wouldn't allow him to feel any negativity. If anything, he was merely relieved that the ambulance had in fact been there in time to save him.Seeing that Asher's attention was on him, Raki practically leaped onto the elder and caught him in a sudden hug, abandoning all professionalism and for the sake of becoming like a child. "Yay! I get to properly meet my bjg brother!" he exclaimed gleefully.Asher would have jumped at the sudden embrace and he was almost disturbed by Raki's personality change, but he couldn't help but hug him back. For a moment, he forgot about everything that had just happened.

Leo could hear everything that was going on but for once he was glad he couldn't see anything. He tried not to let Raki bother him so much this time, he was Asher's blood brother, of course they should hug and get to do brotherly things once in a while. He understood what was happening and why, but he didn't understand the pain he felt in his heart. Leo ignored it the best he could and gave a soft sigh. "I guess I'll pick the room by myself." He said quietly, but his arm was soon taken by someone who smelled very feminine.Rin had just appeared back into the room with the movers behind her when she saw Raki jump into Asher's arms. She figured Leo must be feeling very mixed emotions and decided to help him pick a room. Taking Leo's arm to guide him, Rin gave him a small smile. "You should pick the room next to us, that way if anything happens, we will be right next door." she said softly, guiding him to the room she mentioned. Leo couldn't see and since the rooms didn't have any furniture in them he didn't really care which room they had. "Alright, lets have our stuff placed in there then." he said with a small smile. Once they entered the room she mentioned Leo walked around to find the nearest wall so he could get a feeling for how bit it was. He put his back against one wall and walked straight to the other side, counting about 80 steps. "Nice and spacious." he said with a little smile.
