Tansy frowned... he needed medical attention. She didn't have time to get him to the hospital, it would take too long... She had no choice, she would have to show herself and bring him back to the fire... unless.... She could heal herself, but could she heal others? She had to try. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She held her hand above the man and prayed. She felt the same warm feeling build in her hands. She opened her eyes, and placed on hand on his head, and one on his chest. After a few moments, he began to breath. His eyes opened and he looked around. "Are you-"
She placed a finger against his lips. "You should go home, and forget this happen." She turned and took off once more towards the fire. Her eyes scanned the crowds. She could see Annie moving towards the fire. "I guess Gidget gave them my message...." She looked for any of the others. "AKO!" She called out. She paused for a moment, hoping no one else would think to look up. She let out a sharp whistle.

The crowd gathered looked shocked as they saw the auburn haired teen run past them towards the fire wearing nothing more than an over-sized t-shirt and scuffed boots. She turned the corner behind the building. Closing her eyes she visualized the cement wall in front of her dissolve. As a large hole opened in the wall, a wall of heat and smoke met her. Coughing she jumped through the hole and proceeded to destroying the floor below her that led to the basement.
As it opened she called out, "Anyone down there?" As the hole opened up, Annie sighed with relief seeing no fire. Dropping to the basement, she swore under her breath as she massaged her ankle. "Hello?" In the flickering light of the fire above she heard the sound of a meow and scared mewing of what sounded like kittens.

Lily Stinson
Lily eyes grew dark as she watched a girl with auburn hair talk to Ako, he told her what he thought, and she explained about how she thought she saw someone that looked suspicious, and that it wasn't necessary to worry about him. She didn't like how the girl, who she soon gathered to be Annie glared at her, like she was stealing something from her. It irked her to think someone thought she was with Ako, she just met him!
As the girl ran off, she shouted right behind her. "I'm not some bar pickup. Get it straight, and for as what I know it isn't your concern, so drop it! " she shouted, but it obviously fell on deaf ears. Plus, who wears just a over sized tee shirt and some boots out in the rain anyways? Yet she wants to treat me like some common whore. she thought to herself with a scowl.
"Well, you got here safely, without my help I see. Look. I have no business here, so... here." she handed him a small card that had nothing more then her name and number on it. She sighed and ruffled through her wet hair once again. "Oh, and do make the point clear to your girlfriend that we have nothing going on? I will not be made to think I am something I am not." it was obvious she was upset now. "Don't worry about the bike, I actually know the owner. I'll return it, if he sees me, I'll tell him we had to move it because it almost got clobbered or something." with that, she moved herself onto the bike, and with a wink she kicked the gas and released the throttle, listening to the bike purr like a kitten. "See ya around." and with that the girl quickly sped off on the bike. Heading back up to the street. She really needed a break from all this.
She got the bike back in it original spot, smirking as no one was around to claim the bike. She was glad she wouldn't have to explain her lie. So, she quickly got on her small street racer and brought it to life. No need sticking around here. She sped off to the only place she knew she wouldn't be found, for one reason no one really her age would look for her there, for another she was female. O'Briggans pub. It was a small Irish pub, with some humorous characters. She didn't drink, but it was fun to listen to the conversations and watch the idiocy that crossed over drunken men when they thought nobody was really paying attention.

Annie laughed, looking around, and muttered to herself, "Go figure that I would rush into a building to find the only ones in danger are a few cats." Coughing a bit as the smoke from upstairs was coming down through the hole in a steady stream. "Here kitty, kitty," Annie called as she made her way through the metal shelving holding boxes and boxes of records.
Slowly she made her way through the mazes of shelves, praying that the boxes of papers around her didn't go up into flames. Finally, she came to the source of meows, in a dumped box on the floor lay a mother cat and four kittens- so young that their eyes were still closed.
"It is okay, don't worry kitties," Annie said scooping up the box and placing the lid on top of the box, to keep the cats from jumping out in fear as she picked up the box and placed it on top of her head as she noticed the large "EXIT" lettering glowing in the dim light. "There would be the stairs, kitties! Don't worry we'll be out soon... hopefully..."

Ako was about to follow Annie to the building, but Lily's shouting stopped him. Where had that anger come from? Before he could think to do anything she was speeding away, leaving him standing in the rain, wondering what the hell had just happened. A call and whistle brought his attention to a welcome face. "Tansy!"

Tansy smiled at him. "I'm going in after Annie...." She bit onto her bottom lip. She didn't want to go back into the fire, but she needed to make sure that Annie staid safe. "You coming or not?"

Lily Stinson
Lily finally got to her destination, a small Irish pub four blocks away from her university. With ease she slowed the bike to a stop, after bringing it to her designated parking spot and kicked the stand down. She felt the vibration of the stand colliding with the concrete, which only made her shiver, it was a same reaction most would get with nails on a chalk board, which come to think of it, she couldn't stand either.
The small girl quickly hopped off her bike, turning the ignition off and taking her key out of the small slot. She sighed as she then adjusted her jacket, due to the rain and extreme speeds that she had be excelling as of lately she was soaking wet. Shouldn't be too much a problem, I seriously doubt there is a dry bone in this place, and if there is they must of been here from opening or so. she thought to herself as she pulled her phone out from her pocket.
12 missed calls.
Mom
Mom
Mom...
The list went on, every call being from her mother, she sighed and clicked her phone shut, very frustrated with the thought of her mother trying to get a hold of her so feverously. She quickly made her way into the pub, stomping her feet on the 'welcome' matt that was in the doors entrance. She sighed, pushing her brown wet mess behind her shoulders once again, her eyes darting around the room, quickly surveying the area.
In the far right corner was a small group of men, obviously intoxicated, not by much, which she gave to the still slightly early hour. After all it was only a quarter pass noon. They where laughing with slightly slurred speech, could be a problem if she decided to stay to long. Men like that usually got overly drunk and had high hopes of picking up someone who was attractive, young, and looked to be alone. She sighed, glad she knew the owner.
Quickly she made her way to the red and black marble bar. Seeing all the delectable liquors behind the counter. Ales and such, she shook her head, alcohol wasn't very intriguing to her, it only brought out the worse in people she believe. So she simply ordered her usual. A straight up coke on the rocks. It made it seem like she was having something other then just a coke to anyone who wasn't paying attention, but to her and the tender, it was simply that.
"thanks Sal." she said to the man with a wink. It always got her the mans name was Sal, it made her wonder if it was short for something. He had to of gotten hell when he was in school, after all a name such as that. It was almost as bad a girl being named Andy or Billy. However, seeing it would be rude for her to ask, she simply left the matter off the table.

"You know it." Ako said. He knew how he could help now. Driving the cycle through the rain had given him the adrenaline boost he needed, and he flt as if he could hold the whole building up if he had to.

Taking a deep breath, Annie opened the door to the stairs and swore as a burst of flames shot at her. Slamming the door behind her, she asked aloud, "Do you know if there are any other exits? I don't think we can use that one..."
Closing her eyes she spoke aloud, "Come on think Annabella, think..." She debated, there was the possibility of just running through the flames and breaking a hole out of the wall, but it wasn't tempting.
Massaging her forehead she tried to come up with a plan and under her breath muttered to the mewing kittens and mother, "I am going to be spitting nails in the afterlife if I die for a couple of cats...."

"Um... maybe we did. I'm not really sure..." His attention was caught by the red of her palm. "Your hand... are you okay?"
He whispered in his own head. Okay... so she saw it... and she does look familiar, I could... no. I can't. I'd be a certified freak or alien or something.

Tansy nodded somewhat as she flew back to the fire. She landed, and paused when she heard the gasp from the crowd, it didn't matter now. Now wasn't the time. She needed to make sure Annie got out safely. For the thrid time that day, she moved herself into the flaming building. "ANNIE!" She called out at the top of her lungs. Her wings pulled in close to her body. She frowned when she saw a hole in the floor. "Ako, I think she's down there!" She point to the hole.

Lilith looked down and laughed softly. "Yeah.. Someone tried to brake into my house and I cut myself on the glass shard while trying to clean up. No big deal. It only started bleeding again from the rain...."

"Tansy!" Annie called running to the hole in the ceiling above her. She glanced up to see both Ako and Tansy. She smiled widely, "So, I've figured out how to get down here but up is the problem: the stairs is an inferno, right now." She held up the box, "And I've got a box of cats to deal with, too..."
She blushed at what she felt was her foolishness- she rushes in and ended up only finding a few cats to save...

Leviathan smelled it. Not from the girl directly, no, she lacked powers. But around her, it was a thick rank stench, like clothes too long in a gym bag, urine too stale still sitting in unflushed toilets. It was the smell of other powers, other abilities..
"Rank.." Leviathan muttered from his corner of O' Briggans, unlit and dark. His fingers, spiderlike and thin, dangled over his hard scotch, tinkling the glass, letting it soothe into his bones a new rhythm.
Like the electricity.
Lev watched her a moment more, when it came to his attention that a man stood, or rather stooped, at his table. "Gonna make the round's fer me boyoes and the lass?" The man had a large beard, an even larger belly, and whiskey on the breath. Lev wasn't going to have it.
"Your going to take a round in back country hell fitten you speak to me like your dog again sai, ya hear?" Lev let his eyes widen, and he knew the man had seen the spark, the flash of desert heat in Lev's eyes.
The flash of cinder and unnatural death.
But drunken foolery or not, liquid courage wasn't just a saying this night. "Maaan eat me!" The man's friends laughed, bumping eachother warmly. Another fool to screw with they thought, another city slicker coming around to try and sit in this bar. Ha! Not this night, this lucky man thought.
Not this night.
The man let his hands drop to his front, "EAT ME b*****d child! Foolhardy assssslicker!" He then began to laugh himself, letting his spit fly from his lips, stepping back to catch himself in the throes of his inebriation. Lev remained seated, now holding one finger up, bringing it to the chin of the fellow. "You best sit down boy 'fore you play with something you don't even believe in."
The fool laughed even harder, his friends in turn guffawing and coughing, the sound of drinks clinking and ice falling to the floor resounding about, nothing new, nothing old.
The man then grabbed Lev's finger, which was the last thing he would ever do on this planet.
The man erupted, a cascading tower of energy and light, his every orifice exploding outward with fantastic effects, his body searing, exploding into hot flames.
Lev calmly sipped at his drink once last time, stood, then wandered out of the bar, allowing the body to lay roasting upon the bar floor, silence from all who stared upon such a sight ruling until Lev's ears could not hear anymore.
The rain had started up again.

Ako had run in through the hole in the wall Annie made, stopping at the edge of the hole in the floor. "Annie! Is there anything down there you can climb? Something we could move under this hole?"
