More Meteor Showers Bring Even Stranger Powers. (O/A)

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Rydia stepped back into the body of the aircraft and studied the "Rock" girl. It still astounded her as to how there seemed to be two completely different people inhabiting the same body. She had never seen anything of the sort. Then again, she rarely got to do her own studies outside of her lessons and duties.

She sat next to the girl and looked at the child with her one eye.

"What's your name? Is it what the other two girls called you? Rock?"

Freya finally appeared in the aircraft and fell back into a seat exhausted. She looked as though she had been crying.

"We lost more than three quarters of the island." she huffed. She fell forward and hung her head for a minute before placing her face in her hands to conceal the silent sobs.

"This is worse than the last time. There was restraint before. This is just crazy."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heather thought for only a few seconds before looking Theonis in the eyes and shaking her head.

"I can rest, and think about what I'm going to say to him, while he's on his way here. I would appreciate some clothes...and maybe a separate room or something. I may have to vent if I want to stay human."

Her eyes lit up as she thought about something. "You should call Trinity! That island was falling into the ocean when Liv brought me back here."

Gidget knew exactly what it was, and she had been to the doctor about it. She felt terrible about lying to Ako, but she was very much terrified at how he might react.

With a nervous chuckle, she rubbed the back of her head. "Ahah...nope. Silly me. I've been so occupied with projects, and waiting for whatever this is to go away, that it's completely slipped my mind."

She hoped he would stop asking about it. She knew she couldn't hide it forever, but she didn't want to tell him like this, not now.

Ako was concerned by her response, it wasn't like her to let things slip her mind. This was the woman who was a master of plans. Things did not simply 'slip.' At least, he thought. Truth be told, his own mind had been rattled for a long time. Maybe it had slipped his own mind that something had slipped her mind.

That thought made his mental gears grind. He was still out of it from that bass cannon thing. He needed sleep. Maybe a handful of Advil or something.

Still, he couldn't stop but run through a list of possibilities. Could this have something to do with her new body? Could something be wrong with it?Could it be ailing? Could it be cancer? Another spike of headache pain made him stop thinking about it.

"Okay then." He said, pulling her close to his side. He tried to make sure no to squeeze too hard. "You know you can tell me anything, though, right?"

Damien looked in the direction Kerana had run off in and tilted his head curiously. The temptation to read her memories was almost palpable. As flagrantly as his father did it, Damien was cautioned not to do it so readily.

He looked back at Deora and suggested, "Perhaps she would like some emotional support. I've read lots of books on the subject. We should be there for her."

Without hesitation, he began to walk toward and into the girl's restroom.

"AH! Wait, kid! You can't just go in after her!" Deora stepped quickly to his side to place a hand on his shoulder. She didn't stop him yet, but she wasn't about to let him go in there. "Did none of your books tell you? Boys can't go in the girls' bathroom. We can wait outside, or I can go in to check on her, but either way, you stay outside."

Gidget sighed, but it wasn't really a sigh of relief. She felt worse than she had a few seconds ago when she was throwing up. She hated keeping things from him.

She noticed that he had winced just slightly. She figured he was still feeling the effects of the DJ's weapon. So was she.

"I know." she finally said. "Right now, we should get something for our heads. I'm sure your headache is as bad as mine right now. I have some medicine back in our room."

She purposely stayed in his arms as they made their way back to their domicile. The longer she stayed close to him, she better she felt about things.

She opened the door, went straight to the medicine cabinet, grabbed a bottle of aspirin, and paused. After a few seconds of hesitation she popped two into her palm and set them on the counter. She replaced the bottle and then grabbed a bottle of Tylenol for herself. After shaking a pair loose she filled a glass with water from the kitchenette and took the little red and while capsules.

She picked up the aspirin from the table with the glass and took them to Ako.

"Here you go, Babe."

"Did none of your books tell you? Boys can't go in the girls' bathroom. We can wait outside, or I can go in to check on her, but either way, you stay outside."

That, indeed, was actually something that he had not covered in his reading of social interactions. He figured it must be one of those things that is unwritten that everyone knows.

He looked a Deora for a moment as he thought about what she said. "So males are not allowed in a female restroom? Very well."

His body shrunk slightly as his features became softer and more delicate. His hair grew longer and his eyes just a bit more almond shaped. A second later he was no longer a he.

She smiled sweetly and asked, "Is this better?"

She shook her head toward Liv then looked toward Rock. Nice lady huh? Seems like she's warming up to me…. She went to her and held her hand. "No we're not going to the playground. We need to get you to a doctor to take a look at your injuries, so that you can get better. Once you're all better, we'll talk about playgrounds alright?"

Thea calmed down considerably when Trinity held her hand. The only other person that did that was her daddy.

She looked at the cat lady and answered, "Rock is what my sisters and the doctors call me. My daddy calls me Thea."

Her attention was diverted by the arrival of the distressed dog lady. She didn't understand what the lady was crying about, but it was making her upset. She didn't like to see people cry.

"Please don't cry. Don't be sad, okay?" she plead.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Freya lunged at the girl, her eyes wide with rage. She wrapped her hands around the Rock's throat and squeezed tightly.

"You little b***h! I watched you rain fire on that district! I'm gonna rip out your ******** throat!" she shouted, flecks of spittle flying out of her mouth.

Rydia was quick to pounce on her aunt and pull at her fingers.

"Stop it! We need her alive!" she cried out.  

[PixelMuse]

"Freya stop! I know it hurts. You've lost so much today.

Think about it for a moment. Would the fighter we fought earlier care about you being sad? Although she shares the same body as the one we fought today but right now she's not the same person.

Thea is innocent, the Rock is who you're after and she's not here right now."

Freya had lost a lot today, Trinity hoped her words got through to her. "I'll be sure when we get back to Valhalla we will set up a memorial for the ones who were lost."

"I'll give her a call later. I called in your father's resources to get the people away from that place. As long as there is a shadow she could have gotten away from it." Theo calmly replied. He knew well that she could take care of herself. Despite wanting to know if she was okay he had to deal with Charles.

"There's an empty apartment not too far from here. You can vent and get your clothes there. I'll contact your father." Theo gave her directions to her new temporary room. "I'll contact you when he gets here."

He then called Charles." Good news. She's here safe and sound. She is tired so she is resting now but agreed to see you when you get here."  

[BeaMichelle]

Thea grabbed Freya's arms to no avail. Her head began to feel light, and the world around her was going dark. She gasped for air, but only managed to making little choking sounds.

But more than this, she could feel the mean girl starting to wake up. Rock was responding to the danger in the only way she knew how.

Her hair rapidly shifted from deep crimson to a midnight blue.

Rock's eyes snapped open and glared at the aggressor that was choking her. She raised her right arm and leveled it to Freya's temple. It quickly reconfigured itself into a small firearm and began to glow from the barrel.

Her eyes showed a deathly intent, but she took her time firing to give Freya a moment to come to her senses.  

[Nova Blancke]

Liv looked over to the side to see what was going on. It happened rather fast and everyone seemed to jump in to 'save' their PoW. She was too tired to bother doing anything about it.

"Save it for later"  

[PixelMuse]

Trinity was fed up… they've already had to deal with saving everyone the could from a falling island and now this. This couldn't wait until they landed, it had to come up while they barely gotten away from the chaotic situation they were in earlier.

"ENOUGH!"

Using the shadow created between the two of them she separated them. One on each side of the plane, restrained by their own shadows.

"Freya! We've lost enough today don't you think?! Rock! Put that gun away we're on a plane you are putting Thea in more danger if you pull that trigger. Even I can not guarantee her safety if that happens." This was putting a lot of strain on what stamina she had left. Her eyes grew heavy things were getting blurry she fell unconscious. With that the girls dropped to the ground.

Heather was escorted away by the guards to her private dorm.

Charles Ray pulled the phone away from his mouth before coughing a bit. It was more tame than the fit he'd had just before Theonis called.

"I am pleased to hear that. I will be there shortly. If things could please be prepared so that I could have a private meeting with my daughter, I would be indebted to you."

Trinity's shadow took a will of it's own as Silhouette rose and set Trinity down gently in a seat.

"Do not be alarmed. I can do this when she is unconscious." she explained. She was literally a silhouette in that she was stark black with only her silver eyes piercing the darkness.

Rydia's exposed eye widened and her jaw dropped. While she had fought Dusk, she saw him as her uncle. This being was the embodiment of something she had only read about.

"You're the one Trinity spoke of. The Ancient." she gasped.

Freya rolled her eyes.

"Pfft. Big deal. She ain't all that great."
