Nieve blushed and her eyes went down to her hands as she fiddled her fingers. "I didn't realize you could hear me. I've been singing this song about you for months." She glanced up at him as her cheeks got redder. "I just finished it now." She smiled at him, and her eyes lit up. "I was waiting for you, fighting everyday."
Jarlan turned around and smiled. "Yeah. It has." He didn't realize this was actually Wylie, and he opened up. "I saved you today. You overdid it.." He hugged her in close. "I was really scared that I was going to lose you." He looked up to the sky and sighed. "Then I offered to be your pillow, and you denied me that." He let go and laid down in the grass. "But I understand." Jarlan looked to her and patted next to him. "Lay with me, and look at the clouds?"

Iniko blushed himself. "Oh. Uh. Singing for three years straight? It's a wonder you don't have a sore throat, huh gu- oh. They're asleep." Frowning, he tilted his head at Wylie. "How often do you remember Wylie sleeping, back when we were all together? She was always telling us about the stuff she did while we were asleep..."
Wylie chuckled softly. "I overdid it? Now that doesn't sound like me at all. Are you sure?" He hugged her close again, and she blinked. "You havent done that in here before. Did something change?" Wylie could tell he didn't know it was really her, and though she hated to deceive him, she played along, just so that he wouldn't cut her out of his so lovely dreams. Or away from him. He spoke of being scared, and she gave a slight chuckle. "Oh, you'd never lose me. I'd always be here, right?" He mentioned being denied to be her pillow, and she tilted her head. "You understand? Why do you think you were denied?" Her voice was calm, soothing, she was simply curious as to what he thought of the situation. When asked, she sat down next to him, laying and watching the sky. "It's always so calm here... Why do you dream of this field so often?"

"I took breaks every now and then." She glanced at the two and smiled. "They both needed it." Then she answered his question. " I actually don't remember her sleeping." She glanced at Iniko and smiled. "I also remember how someone loved to take my ice sculptured and smash them into walls." She chuckled.
Jarlan looked at the clouds. "You overdid it. You looked like you could break, and you almost fell in the river and I caught you." He glanced at her, and he blushed faintly. "Nothing changed, I just got a bit bolder is all." He looked at the clouds again and sighed. "True, you would always be here, but I feel like if I push too much, you'll leave. You might have denied me because you don't sleep? I don't know why, but you always talked about things you'd do when we were younger. You seemed to do all those things when we were all asleep." He thought about the field question and shrugged. "Because I've always wanted to find someplace like this and sleep on the grass with the sun warming me up."

"I'm glad." He glanced over at them and nodded. "They definitely did." He nodded a bit. "Sometimes she wouldn't tell us what she did, but almost never did she tell us she'd slept, or what she'd dreamt about." He frowned at her. "I can't imagine what it was like for you all, but if she doesn't, or can't, sleep very often, what must those waking hours have been like?" He shook his head, glanced over at her. "Of course, you were chained standing up, so it wasn't much better for you... I bet Jarlan had his own difficulties..." HE sighed. "I'm so, so sorry it took me so long..." Her next statement snapped him out of it. "Hey, they were going to melt anyway, I was just making sure they went out while their beauty was preserved." He flushed a bit, showing he was probably lying.
She glanced back at him when he looked at her, nodding. "Bolder indeed." Wylie smiled faintly. "I'm aweful skittish, though, and not always in touch with reality. Promise not to hold that against me?" Right after she said that, he spoke of almost exactly what she'd mentioned. "I suppose that's true. I always worry you'll send me away." She glanced at the sky, worried about if he ever discovered the truth. "I've longed to smell flowers." She admitted. Suddenly, she faded, and then strengthed. "Oh dear." Sighing a sigh full of pain and regret, Wylie sat up. "Time for me to go already. I'm sorry." Suddenly, the plane hit a bit of turbulence, just enough to wake Wylie up. Lurching upwards as if from a fright, Wylie let out a strangled gasp as the seatbelt forced her back into her seat, and then flushed. "Sorry."
"Not to worry kid," Jameson said from the front. "We're almost there." The plane began to lower.

Nieve smiled faintly. "It's alright. You are here now, and we both know that isn't the truth." She watched Wylie jump up and she sighed. She just wanted to be on the ground again and enjoy the grass. She also wanted to change, her clothes were slightly ripped everywhere. "I missed you. I was always alone. They chained me standing as punishment for freezing a higher up guard. I don't think walking will be too easy for me now." She pointed to her heavily trembling legs. She looked a bit helpless.
Jarlan watched as she disappeared and he sighed. Then the hill crumbled and he fell. He jumped in his seat, and clutched his chest. He looked over at Wylie and took calming breaths. He looked out the window and saw they were starting to lower. He glanced to the sweethearts and smiled sadly.

Iniko shrugged. "It should be. It's better than the truth." When Wylie jumped up, he flinched, pulling his guns out and glancing around, simply out of reflex. It was obvious the years had worn on Iniko as well. Sighing, he plopped back into his seat. "I'm sorry you were alone. I wish I could've gotten you out sooner."
Overhearing her statement about her legs, Wylie slid in front of her, and began massaging them. "I can't rebuild the muscles, but I can stop these trembling. I've been inside the imaginations of the guards. One of them was once a massuse!" She gave a slightly demended grin, her usual one, not realizing she still had blood on her cheek. Wylie seemed oddly over-proud at being inside another persons head so much that she had accumulated their odd talents. Still grinning, she completed the massage. "Drink lots of liquids!" She lurched to the side right as the plane began landing, rolling around on the floor and crashing into Iniko's legs. "Whoops, shoulda stayed buckled!" Pushing to her feet, and walking back to her seat, she thought she was safe- and then the plane came to a stop, and she pitched forward again, this time into Jarlan's lap. "Whoopsies!" Laughing, she stayed put, apparently fine on his lap, until the plane was at a complete stop, standing up and sheepishly pushing her hat back into place. "Sorry."
Iniko rolled his eyes at her antics, smiling fondly. "Damn, I missed you guys." He climbed out of the plane first, helping Nieve out by putting his arms out and beckioning for her to jump into them.

Nieve blinked as Wylie massaged her legs, and when they felt better she smiled. "Thank you Wylie." She giggled at the illusionist's antics and jerked as the plane stopped. "We missed you too Iko.." She said using her nickname. When she made her way to the edge of the plane, she looked at Iniko calling her down. "You better catch me! I'm not friendly with heights." She jumped and screamed as she fell right into his arms.
Jarlan watched as Wylie tumbled about the plane and landed in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist until the plane stopped and he released them before she stood up. "Don't be sorry. I'm fine." He said with a sheepish smile, before he stood up himself.

He laughed. "I'll always catch you!" He did at that, too, catching her and and placing her on the ground, but keeping a supportive arm around her. He walked her over to a rather large, but still simple, cabin. "When he first found me, and brought me here, this was a much smaller cabin, but then I told him about you guys, and Jameson and I built it into a bigger one, for all of us. Jameson lost a child when he was young, you see, and it always ached. He wonders if what happened to us might've happened to his kid, and always wants to be there for us now."
Jameson shrugged. "The wife went crazy with grief, and died a few years later. All I've got now is my land and my plane, I might as well share it for a cause that matters." He turned kind eyes towards them. "Iniko's shown me his marks, and it struck a chord in me, down deep." Jameson refered to the dirty secret they all hid under cloth on their forearms- needle marks, from all the experimental drugs pumped into them.
Wylie grinned at him, her usual demented grin. "Well I'm glad. I'd hate to hurt you right after our big escape." Unlike the others, who either climbed out or jumped out hestiantly, Wylie run towards the door, and jumped out full force, gleefully enjoying having no ceilings, and landing on her feet quite safely, before using hte momentum to safely do a sumersault, and end up back on her feet again, her hat not deflated in the slightest. "It's smells like those air fresheners up here." She was refering to the pine tree air fresheners- as pine trees were all around them.

She walked with difficulty, and her legs gave out a few times, but she held onto Iniko tightly. She looked at Jameson. "I'm sorry to hear about your child. And your wife." She often wondered if she had any blood siblings who had gone missing. She cringed when they talked about the needle marks. The serums those demented people injected her with had to be boiling hot, otherwise she would freeze it as it entered her bloodstream. She shuddered violently at the thought, a small whimper escaping her lips. She had always screamed the loudest.
Jarlan jumped out of the plane rather quickly and stood amazed at the trees. He threw the guards boots off of his feet and felt the grass beneath his toes. It felt nice, and he let out a small noise of wonder. He then fell to the floor and rolled around slowly, enjoying the air and the smells that surrounded him.

Iniko kept a steady arm around her, guiding her inside the cabin to a nearby chair. "Well, I guess before you start training with your powers, we need to build up the muscles in your legs." He scratched his head, wondering how to go about that. "For now I suppose you should just walk every so often every day. "
Jameson shrugged. "I grieved, I moved on." His eyes darkened as he recalled the day of his childs birth in the hospital. "We heard him cry, but were told he was a stillborn. It's always been suspcious. They didn't let us see the body, either." He shook his head, his brown hair swinging around him. He used the word 'he', but they hadnt even told him what gender his child had been. That always ached at his heart.
Iniko noticed when she shuddered, and sighed softly, regretting forgetting to ask Jameson not to bring up the needles. He hadn't screamed at all, simply stared them in the eye while tears streamed out of his own. He'd decided to be brave, having been the last one to reach maturity and the last one to get his first injections. He'd heard all the others, knew what was in store on some level.
Wylie watched Nieve shudder at the mention of needles, unable to recall her own injections. She'd always slipped into her own world, and woken up with a new mark on her arm. That was the only way she'd discovered it'd happened again. What Wylie didn't know was that while she got her injections, she didn't scream, she didn't weep... She laughed. Her laughter was of the most demented kind, the kind that was part fear, part hysteria, and only a tiny bit amusement. Her laughter had run down the hallways, sometimes louder than any scream, and it had haunted many guards dreams.
Glancing over at Jarlan, she noticed he'd ditched the boots already, and laughed. This laugh was sweet, and sane. "Your feet just always itch for freedom, don't they?" Suddenly, he'd fallen, and she rushed over, the panic that surged through her body causing her to skid to a stop next to him and drop to her knees. "Are you alri-" He started rolling, and she blushed, realizing he was just enjoying the grass.

Nieve nodded, then shook her head. "I'm sure my legs will be fine. I've been standing for a week straight, no breaks." She gave a small smile. "I just need to let them rest a bit is all." She was thankful for the seat, and relaxed into it, enjoying her first taste of freedom. She glanced at Jarlan and Wylie and smiled, then yelled out something. "You always liked trees! Always drawing them!"
Jarlan chuckled and talked as he stopped rolling, and landed on his back. "I just don't like shoes.." He said glancing up at Wylie. Then he heard Nieve and laughed. It sounded rich, being that his voice was deeper than most expected him to have. "I always wanted to see trees Eve! Now I can and I love them! The smell, the look!" His eyes lit up as he talked about how excited he was. In the back of his mind, his memory of being poked and prodded were replaying. He didn't scream, he didn't cry. he didn't laugh, no. He stared at the scientists and glared at them, making them cautious around him. He even had punched one, after having enough of the needles.
Nieve sighed contently, and looked at Iniko. "What have you been doing these three years, Iko? Just training? Did you see things you wanted to see? Did you meet anyone?" The last question was more of her insecurity poking out. It wasn't hidden that she like him, everyone knew. She couldn't help it, three years is a long time after all.

Iniko nodded. "I sure hope so. And only a week? That's good, I was worried it had been longer." Turning, Iniko glanced through the open door, shaking his head at his friends antics. At her questions, Iniko turned back to her, his smile sad. "Training and exploring enough to research why we were locked up. I did nothing but pursue how to get you guys out. I couldnt possibly enjoy myself, try to do the things we'd all talked about, until I got you guys out." He shook his head at the last question. "I made loads of friends and contacts that'll be able to help us out, but no, I didn't meet anyone in the way you're implying." He smirked. "I'm too hot for anybody other than you, Nieve. Nobody else can cool me down." Iniko was a huge flirt, but 98% of it was always directed at Nieve, so it was pretty obvious he liked her back. They just hadn't been able to do anything because they were captives.
Wylie chuckled at his glee, turning and laying on the ground herself, staring up at the swinging green branches. Her mood went sad for a moment, at the uncertainty in front of them. They didn't know what was going to happen. For all we know by this time tomorrow we'll be dead... Or worse, captured again. Inwardly determined, Wylie made a personal vow that she would do anything- even sacrafice herself- to prevent that from happening. She calmed down as she heard Jarlans laughter on the breeze, closing her eyes, but not sleeping. Never sleeping. Her nap from earlier would probably hold her off for a week.

Nieve gave a small smile to his sad one, trying to get it to be a happy smile again. She listened and then he began to flirt, which made her blush once more. She gave a sheepish smile, and decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. She stood, quicker than she had hoped and put her face inches from his so he could feel the cold emanating off of her face. She lowered her eyes a bit and looked back up into his, after all he was a bit taller. "Am I cooling you down now?" She asked, in a low voice, hoping to catch him off guard.
Jarlan put his hands behind his head, and shut his eyes. Being too relaxed wasn't always a good thing, but, he hadn't gotten enough sleep. He was still weakened from earlier and he soon fell asleep once more. He rolled to his side, and curled up, facing Wylie. This time, there were no soft snores, just his breathing. This wouldn't surprise anyone, Jarlan was known to fall asleep anywhere.

Iniko flushed bright red when she was suddenly in his face, and gulped a bit. "No, in fact, I seem to have gotten even hotter. What're you doing, sucking the cold outta me?"
Jameson quietly laughed and walked into the other room.
When Jarlan fell asleep, Wylie felt safe to turn her head and look at him, watching him sleep for a few moments. Sitting up, she glanced around- Iniko and Nieve were no longer in sight of the door, and Jameson had vanished. Breathing a sigh of relief, Wylie ran to the nearest tree and began climbing. She always felt safest when she was highest up and could see the most. Reading the top of the actually quite tall tree, Wylie sat in a v of the branches, and unpinned her hat, taking it off and resting it on her lap as the wind blew through her hair. She stared off into the blue sky, wondering vaguely why this had happened to her. I'm lucid now, but there are moments where I seem to have lost time, and everyone looks scared around me when that happens.. Those guards feared my. Wylie, quite intelligent underneath the childish behavior and demented, breaking mind, had a sneaking suspicion something bad was happening during the times she'd blank out.

Nieve giggled a bit and pulled her face away. "I don't know if I can do that." Her legs wobbled slightly and she glanced back up at him. "Time to sit again.." She sat down again, looking up at how much taller he was now that she was sitting. "You got taller. We were the same height last time I saw you." She almost sounded sad, but stood up again. "I shouldn't just keep sitting, I should probably walk it off, the wobbling I mean." She realized she had began to ramble and flushed. She wasn't one to ramble a lot but she held her hand out to him, looking away and blushing. "Show me around the cabin? That way I don't get lost, and if I fall you are there to pick me up?"
Jarlan only stayed asleep a few moments, before he woke up and sat up. He looked around and saw that he was alone in the grass and shrugged. "I wonder where everyone went off to..." He stood up groggily, before looking up at all the tall trees. He smiled, and had an odd sense of feeling at home. Maybe it was because he was reunited with all of his friends, that had to be it.
