Nathan kept with the Guardian. "What's this about?" he asked, curious as to precisely what the big rush was.

"Like I said, they have a mission for us!" He paused for a moment to adjust his grip on Anna. "I'm Hyro, by the way," he said with a small smile.

Anna let herself be dragged: she was too tired to keep up by herself. She wondered what was going on, but since the boy wasn't saying anything she left it alone. He probably didn't know sign language anyway. When Hyro mentioned his name Anna gave him a sarcastic 'congradulations' look.

Nathan nodded. "Nathan," he explained laconically. He glanced at Hyro's grip on Anna's arm with some vague form of envy. "Any idea what this mission might be? And how far to them?"

Bitong relaxed back into his slouched sitting position with a smile. "I knew you were good Rufus, but I do have to admit snatching it right back from Stark without waiting at least ten minutes might have been a bad move."
Bitong chuckled. "You'd better believe we're going to succeed. Otherwise I might not get that shipment of calamari he promised me..." Bitong faded off as he started to think of the last time he had calamari... which happened to be way to long ago.
"How much longer are we going to be on this thing?" Bitong asked Rufus, glancing around at the contents of the private booth they were sitting in.

Hyro shrugged. "They just sent me to get you."
Rufus shrugged. "He just sent me to help you."

Blaine's eyes closed as he was being dragged along and his mumblings eventually changed into soft snores.

"Well that's lovely," Nathan grumbled, then decided to try something. He slapped Blaine and Anna across the back of the head in a hopefully not vain attempt to wake them up further.

Blaine's eyes shot open but immediately returned to a droop, "What the Hell." he mumbled, his words slurring. Before long, his eyes were closed again, but he seemed to be slightly more awake.

"Nice, how di-" Anatoly's reply to Rufus was interrupted by Bitong's declaration of desire for calamari. "Why calamari?" he asked.

Hyro slid to a halt, jostling Anna and Blaine. They stood outside a stout door. He shook them a bit. "Wake up, here we go!" He knocked on the door as they waited for the other two to wake.
Rufus sighed. "Bitong's a big calamari freak. I once had sushi that got warm in the car, and he ate it anyways." He laughed. "It's all good though."

Blaine's eyes blinked open and his stomach growled unnaturally loudly, "Food..." he mumbled before his eyes closed again.

Nathan shrugged and decided to attempt a wake-up maneuver again, slapping Blaine across the face, then grabbing his chin, pulling his head up, opening his eyelid, and staring into his eye with the peculiar look of perhaps a rapist. "You there! Awake!" he cried, pushing the lens of his glasses against Blaine's face.

Blaine took a few moments to actually awaken...to the sight of a rapists eye against his own. Blaine let out a small yelp and jumped back.

Anna shook her head a bit, feeling ruffled at Nathan striking her. When they finally stopped she wormed her way out of Hyro's grip. Soon Nathan was going through with a crazy idea of waking Blaine up, which worked rather well. Anna bit her lower lip hard: she couldn't laugh or a raspy sound would come out and they would probably all stare at her funny. But Nathan was being so ridiculous!
