Bane blinked, slightly confused by all the questions, as well as how he had managed to break her hand. "Must have gotten lucky", He thought.
"Ok... First question first... About the maximum I can move in a single step, is about fifty feet, as long as I can see something to land on in that distance... I do get tired from doing it alot, but only as tired as if I were running like a normal person would...", He said, rubbing his jaw again, before suddenly saying,"Your punch is pretty hard."
He tilted his slightly, staring at Nova, before saying,"I can escape people, as long as the aren't touching my feet or lower legs, since that is where the portal is generated, and if they are too close, I won't slip from their grasp properly. As for the last three.... I'm not going to be able to tell you that."

taking a cue from the older man, Kiandra replied in English, "It is an honor to finally meet you, Mr. Acerbus. Oh...No that girl was not my sister. She was a Flighter trying to..." Her voice drifted into silence. Kiandra didn't know how much she could trust this bermudian. Glancing at Paul she could almost feel the tension rolling off of him. He had lowered the gun slightly but Kiandra knew that he would shoot in a split second if provoked.

She looked at him in puzzlement when he told her he couldn't answer her last three questions. "I really need to get back." she said, trying to stand up but falling back down when her legs gave out. She sighed heavily and was really mad at herself for needing his help but... "Do you think you could help me? My hand is broken, my muscles won't work, and I don't hve enough strength to teleport back." She said as she sat there, staring at her feet, her cheeks turning a light pink. Here I am, a fifteen year old flighter for crying out loud, and I need HIS help, she thought as she waited for his reaction. I wouldn't blame him if he left me here, she thought.

Bane shrugged, before pushing himself to his feet, and walking forwards. Smirking slightly he said,"I guess."
Slowly he reached down, and grabbed her by the arm, before saying,"This might hurt a bit...", and shadow stepping, dragging her along with him through his portal, twenty feet in the direction he had just come from. He shook his head once, before shadow stepping several times in quick succesion, and finally dropping out just outside the house they had been at earlier. He panted slightly before gasping out,"Ok... We're... here... Your.. turn.."

"A Flighter, hm?" It wasn't a particular surprise to Justinius, but it was somewhat surprising that a Flighter would be as undisciplined as that girl. He would have to move quickly.
He turned to the human. "I have my own reasons for assisting you, and your payment will come in due time--fear not, I expect nothing intensive or distressing--but I believe it would do us good to move from here. The Flighters will do you harm, make no mistake. If you value your life, you will follow my directions, and I will deliver you to your home." He stepped up to a window, looked outside for anyone that might get in their way; seeing no one, he turned his head back to the other two. "It is entirely your decision to follow me, but I suggest you decide soon. We do not know when that Flighter girl will return."

She grimaced at his smirk before he shadow stepped. He was right, it did hurt. When they stopped outside of Kinadra's house, she moaned and wrapped her arms around her chest, feeling as though she had been ripped in half. "OOWWW!" she shouted as her body gave a painful twinge and she pressured her hand. She collapsed again and sat there for a few minutes, until she was sure she could stand, then she stood up slowly, and put on a cool facade before opening the door and stepping inside. "I got Bane back." she said as she waited for him to follow her inside.

Bane calmly sauntered his way in behind Nova, his eyes half closed. He was a bit out of breath but was sure he would be fine. Rolling his eyes at her remark, he smirked, before saying,"Yo..."
His right hand constantly rubbed his wounded left shoulder, his eyes flickering from one person to another, quickly taking in the newest arrival to the group, and noting that Mira had not returned.

Nova saw him walk in, rubbing the shoulder she hit. "Did I really hit you that hard?" she asked, lifting her hand and cradling it against her stomach. "Do you have a wrist brace?" she asked, turning to Kiandra. "I punched him, trying to stop him from running anymore, and I hit him so hard, I broke 2 of my knuckles, and one of my fingers." she looked down at her feet in embarassment.

Grimacing, Paul shook his head. "I want reasons. I know that I'm in trouble trusting them, but I don't even know why, even less what might happen if I go with you. I'd like answers. Now."
Then the other two came back in through the door. The pistol leapt back up for a split second, but dropped back away again.

"Hardly", Bane said, ignoring Paul,"I injured it earlier, and it hurts like 'Ell..."
He stepped farther into the room, his face lit with a cruel grin, as his cold grey eyes slowly flickered from one person to the next, studying them all.

Humans were so difficult, always demanding explanations and never looking into the long run. Justinius was beginning to lose his patience. "The Flighters will throw you--"
He was cut off by the entrance of the Flighter girl and some boy. He didn't like the looks of either, and the boy in particular. These two were trouble: The girl could call in other Flighters, the boy looked unpredictable.
Justinius sighed. Things were getting troublesome. "Either way, you are not in immediate danger. You may put the gun away--I doubt very much we will be fighting. Perhaps we should just sit down and talk about the weather, what has been going on in our lives, political developments..." He shot a look at the Flighter.
"... and what we should do with certain government agents."

Bane shrugged vaguely at Justinius' ideas of what to do. They all bored him, except for the last, though considering the fact of who Nova was, he decided against remarking on that in particular topic, to avoid more trouble.
"Sitting sounds nice!", He said, still rubbing his shoulder, and wondering vaguely if he had bothered to absorb the flame orb from earlier, since it wasn't in the room, but he didn't remember putting it out.

Nova was bored by all of justius' topic choices. so she stood off to the side, leaning against the wall, still trembling a bit. When she heard his last topic, she looked up and saw him looking at her. "Excuse me?" she asked increduously,giving him a death stare. "I've done nothing to harm either of you, and I've told you why I'm here already. I am not a discussion topic right now. Sorry, pick a new one." she said to him, her voice slowly dripping venom out of every word. She turned back to face the doorway and studied her nails on her good hand.

When Nova first re-entered the room with Bane Kiandra couldn't help but glare. This was her home and they were treating it with such obvious disrespect. When Nova asked for the wrist brace Kiandra snapped, "Do I look like a ruffian? Healers take care of wounds and injuries. I suggest you go find one." Glancing at Mr. Acerbus she could see the annoyed expression on his face. Things were beginning to get out of control once more.
"Either way, you are not in immediate danger. You may put the gun away--I doubt very much we will be fighting. Perhaps we should just sit down and talk about the weather, what has been going on in our lives, political developments...and what we should do with certain government agents."
Kiandra's mouth dropped at Mr. Acerbus' last statement. In front of a Flighter! As Nova defended herself, Kiandra once more pulled out her water pouch and formed a round ball. if she had more water on hand she could probably do something more threatening but this would have to do for now. Stepping forward she took a deep breath and said firmly, "Alright, I've had enough. You and You need to leave. " She stared pointedly at Nova and Bane. "You guys have trespassed onto private property and I will not stand for it any longer. Now please go."

Bane laughed, flipping his right hand up, an orb of sparks appearing in it, his eyes glinting behind his hair. Quietly he said,"I have no choice in whether or not I leave... I follow Nova now. But since your threatening us, I might as well threaten back. One twitch of your arm, and no one will make it out of here in more than two pieces."
Despite the anger behind his threat, his face showed only an odd seemingly happy grin, the flames in his hand flickering constantly, changing the way the light worked in the room.
