Tansy nodded. "I like the idea of talking to people better then flying back into that inferno." She bit onto her bottom lip. Part of her was scared. Her heart was racing, she was doing all she could from letting her body shake. She needed to stay clam. "I just want to get this over with. If we don't come out now, I have a feeling Charles Ray will out us himself, and I have a feeling he'd make us out to be the bad guys... We were in a sense the reason his building blew up.... And the citizens don't know he has powers, or that he's evil." She nodded. "So.. let's do this.. I'm ready when you guys are."

Annie nodded, pulling off the shirt she was wearing, turned it inside out, pulled it over her head, and fluffed her hair, "Alright, I'm ready. I don't look as bad. I think we should just go ahead and introduce ourselves. No one else is in there, right? We'll just tell them that we helped save the last remaining people in the victims- and the cats, that'll win some good points- using our special powers or something like that."
She frowned, "Tansy you should go first, you're the one who actually looks like you have powers." Turning to the guys she asked, "Ako, Garret, are you going to out yourselves too?"

Leviathan wasn't taken aback at all. In fact, his grin widened even more, and his eyes, a frozen cobalt, softened into something almost kind. His hand enveloped Daisy's, his palms as big as mitts. "Well ain't that right kind of ya Ms. Sun. I can call ya that, reckoning their ain't no ring on your pretty finger." Lev held her hand a moment longer, giving it a charming kiss and the girl a wink.
"And your just in luck, i've got the scoop, or so i think, on some strange happenings! By the way, call me Randall, Randall Flagg." Lev easily lied, taking a calm step forward. "If you'd like to sit somewhere, i know a wonderful little restaurant down near by where the old Dashworth's been burning. You have heard of it ain't ya Ms. Sun? The fire?" True concern rose up in Lev's face, and he began walking, expecting Daisy to follow his lead.

Ako listened to Tansy's points, and decided they were good ones. He always had a hard time not bragging when he had something worth it, and He'd been itching to show off his powers, although he wouldn't let the others know that. After only a few seconds of thought, he nodded and answered Annie's question. "Yeah, let's go for it. I'm ready."

"So..." Gray wasn't exactly eager to make conversation, but it was better than nothing. "Uh, you've been in town a while?"
What do normal people even talk about? It sounded good, but what then?
He felt his spear itching to jump into his hands. He glanced around, but found he couldn't see far in the rain. Nothing suspicious nearby...
The shadows in the alleys they were passing seemed to darken. A thin voice he'd nicknamed the Oracle twirled through his head. Feel the wind flow through you hands, then you'll come to understand. Check your ambitions, watch your fear, the time has passed, the threat is near.

Lilith turned her head to look at him. "I've lived here for as long as I can remember... But my sister and I were born in Poland. We moved here when I was very young, I don't really remember Poland much, but my sister does. We lived on the streets for a few years, doing odd jobs. Mostly I stood holding a cup for money looking as cute and as sad a possible. It made us enough to buy a loaf of bread every other day. And we got by. When Tansy was 10 she got a job selling papers on the corner, and we moved into a hotel room." She sighed softly. "When I wasn't in school, I was helping with what I could." She stopped for a moment. "I'm sorry, you probably didn't want my life story...."

Tansy nodded. "Alright.. I'll go first." She took a deep breath and tried to let herself relax. She tilted her head to the side and nodded once more. "Okay...." She did her best to straighten herself out, although she knew it wouldn't do any good. She was soaking wet. But as least she wasn't covered in dirt. She turned and walked towards the cameras.

Trinity was walking and she stopped as her eyes caught what was on the news. She saw a fire at an office building. Her gaze widened, her green eyes were glowing without realizing, when she saw a girl with wings on her back.
She had been finding photos in tabloids but all the pictures she saw were very blurry silhouettes that seemed like obvious speculation or photoshoped. What was even weirder was that the local newspaper had done something similar too, it was around a time a college student died and something unusual happened. Yet there she was on the screen. She stopped looking at her wings for a moment and saw the girl, she looked normal. Trinity started to wonder, Was she hit by a meteor too? Could this be the answer I was looking for?
Trinity was in the library and one of the librarians was watching the news with the close caption on. She watched enough of the news report to know where it was. She got on her bike and head toward the direction of the office building. Wearing her green hoody she rode as quick as she could to the scene.

Daisy Sun winced when he mentioned she had no ring on her finger, and followed him. "Yes, it looks like that I will be 'Ms. Sun' for a while, but please call me Daisy." Leviathan was a flirt, which was fine with her, after all they were always the easiest to interview. She smiled at the name 'Randall Flagg,' the evil character in Stephen King novels, seriously? Fake name, but that wasn't her problem.
Tucking some of her yellow-blond hair behind her ear she said smiling, "You must not watch the news much. I'm on Chanel 17 News: I'm a reporter, of course I've heard of the fire. Today is a day off for me: one of my fellow anchors is reporting on it right now. Anyhow, some food sounds great."
Meanwhile the media who was mostly waiting around noticed the four teens walking out into the open, led by someone who was thought to be dead. Cara Trent from Channel 17 news stared in shock thinking, 'OMG, Daisy is going to flip when she realizes I got a hold of this news story!'
The reporters and bystanders were all whispering among themselves things like: "An Angel..." "Who are they?" "What is going on..."
Annie winced as everyone stared at Tansy, thankful that her power at least didn't have a physical manifestation. Tucking her auburn hair behind her ear, she sighed as she walked behind Tansy. How would the world react to finding out about them.

Garret hesitated when he followed the others out. He didn't like the idea of 'coming out'. What if they tried to blame them for the Dashworth building and Charles Ray's building. Then there'd be a hell's load of trouble. He didn't much like the idea of experimentation either...
Nonetheless, he supported his friends in this idea and followed them. He creatively made the rain above turn into tiny teardrop shaped hail stones. They seemed to sparkle beautifully as they fell to the ground like winter snow. A thin misty Aura surrounded him showing off his power to freeze the moisture in the air.

Ako was the last out, and smiled as he remembered his school picture days, where they would make the kids line up shortest to tallest. The group seemed to have done that without being told as they revealed themselves to the world. He thought about doing something to show off his powers like Garret was, but decided against it, for fear of messing up the cameras or other equipment. He'd seen how much those things cost, and he didn't want to be the one stuck with the bill.

Trinity was nearing the office building with fire on her bike in the rain. She didn't seem to care how soaked she was getting, she was determined to see if she could talk to them face to face. The rain turned to snow... at least at first it felt like snow. She stopped her bike and looked around, there were no snow flakes around she held out her hand. It wasn't the floating snow flakes but... hail stones? She started to notice how it sparkled. She looked in the distance, it was beautiful. She wanted to spend more time observing the weather phenomena and wonder how did it seem to switch from rain to an odd yet beautiful hail storm but needed to get back to the task at hand. She continued to ride. She could see the office building up ahead.

Tansy blinked somewhat as she turned and looked to Garret. "I doubt they will blame us for the fire Garret." She smiled somewhat. "And you didn't have to come out here if you didn't want to..." She turned back, and walked up of one of the firemen. "We're pretty sure that's everyone. We pulled out a few more people. I didn't hear anyone else inside." Her wings stretched out, before settling down, and folding against her back.

Trinity was in front of the office building but behind the crowd of news reporters and firefighters. Her eyes glow as she watches intently in hopes to may be get a word with them? Trinity paused in thought for a moment, she was in such a rush she didn't think of what to say if she could talk to them. "Hi I'm Trinity I was hit by a meteor how about yourself? " god... that sounds stupid... She watched in hopes that her questions would be answered or if there was a possibility to go up to them but she was very hesitant.
The angel was basically a compiled pile of rumors she was following earlier, until now. The others she did not have a clue who they were and what they were capable of. Her eyes looked up at the hail and thought maybe one of them did this. She wasn't certain. She continues to watch from behind the crowd and was paying close attention her eyes glowing from under her hood as she watched.

"No, no... your life story is fine b-by me. Sounds pretty interesting." Gray wanted to shiver, not from the hail he saw all around them but from the sensing of evil, the sight of the dark surrounding every building growing darker. He could almost feel it.
Fear sent the sickly taste of copper trucking over his taste buds. He stopped and blinked. Then blinked again.
Gray had spent time pursuing many different interests after the meteor strike, from health to psychology to theology. He had become stuck on one subject, however... the one that never left him.
Evil.
The Human Darkness.
---
I feel I must apologize for the quick turn in person on the character of Gray... This struck me after I took a pill four hours late and went into a sponge state in Bible class today... I, almost subconsciously, wrote some... almost frightening lines on the darkness of the human nature. I decided to have Gray exhibit a few of these.
