Though still a bit wary, Cherry was at least willing to disarm her pen and put it away. "I question your humor, if putting messages like those entertain you," she commented. "Anyhow, my brother and I are just normal people, for the most part. We specialize in healing and prevention." She hesitantly extended her hand for a greeting. "My name's Cherry, by the way. My lookalike is my younger brother, Chase. We'd appreciate it if you don't use our names to curse us."Chase shivered and moved back a bit when Rin touched him. "Er... Thanks?" he said, rather uncomfortable with the way she was looking at him. She had her knife at his neck moments ago! Of course he would be a little put off by her observing. It didn't help that she had touched him as if he was some fascinating specimen.

Elsa scrutinized Cherry a bit longer before making the magical blue fire disappear in time for her to reach over and shake the woman's hand. "Nice to meet you." she said softly, thinking it odd that there would be twin healers. Such a thing was odd, twin spellcasters, sure, but not healers. Now that she thought of it, the two individuals looked familiar. Elsa looked over at Chase when he spoke. "You two wouldn't happen to be Marianne and Joseph's children would you? I heard there were survivors and heard descriptions of a few of them." Rin noticed the man was becoming uncomfortable and stopped her observations, moving onto Leo who was still cowering behind Chase. "This one is awful mousey....For a blond boy anyways. Most unusual....and those eyes..." she said softly, slowly reaching out to touch the bridge of Leo's nose.Leo heard Rin's voice and stuck close to Chase, hoping they weren't of any danger. He felt the warmth of Rin's body closing in on him and began to get a little clausterphobic. He shied away from her touch and hid his face so his eyes wouldn't be noticed.The Crazy Tomboy ((I changed my post a bit, Maryanne and Joseph's death is no longer associated with a death in a car crash, I was trying to go for something there but I failed. So I changed it, you can change your post if you want but I think it's just fine smile ))

Chase shook his head. "We never had a father, and our mom died a couple months ago. Perhaps you're confusing us for other people?" he asked, a bit curious now. Judging from Elsa and Rin, it seemed that there were indeed others who practiced magic. He had thought he and Cherry were the only ones, and they simply began practicing after reading some books their mom kept in the attic.
His attention turned to Rin while she was observing Leo. Chase was a bit conflicted as to whether or not he should ask her to back off. She did still have a knife on her, after all.

Leo heard the names Elsa spoke and perked up a little. "How do you know Marianne and Joseph?" he asked softly though he didn't really want to know, those memories were buried and he wished not to dig them back up again. But if these women knew something about his parents then Leo needed to find out what it was.Elsa looked back at Leo and shrugged. "We've been looking for the two boys who survived. We track down everyone who has....'special abilities'....though of course there are many who evade our radar." She looked around at everyone but they all still looked panicked. "We just wanted to come introduce ourselves. We represent a whole organization that helps people like us. The ways we help is classified, however. I cast a spell on Leo because I saw him on the news and I was hoping that fear was one of his triggers. We believe he has visions but we need visual proof." She looked over to Cherry once more. "If we could just bring him to our organization we have obstacles that may help his visions become stronger and more controlled." Even Elsa didn't think they would get away with this, it usually took a few days or sometimes even weeks before they were able to convince people to join them.The Crazy Tomboy ((BTW none of this organization stuff was pre-planned, I'm basically pulling this outta my a** with remarkable imagination if I do say so myself! biggrin ))

Upon Elsa mentioning bringing Leo to some organization, Cherry, gripped her pen again. "Sorry, but we can't allow you to take him. We've never heard of your kind of organization," she said. "Besides, a certain someone will kill us if anything happens to Leo. I kinda heard he nearly beat some creep to death, after all.""Actually, it might be kinda neat to see others like us," Chase said. "Besides, she never said Leo had to go alone. We can accompany him." Along with that, he had heard Elsa mention something about Leo having visions. That would explain so much: how Leo knew to check Ragnarok Hotel, what his secret with his brother might have been, and just about anything else. They might also have some people to talk to about just what they had been dealing with all these years.

Leo couldn't believe what he was hearing, they were talking about bringing him to an unfamiliar place. He didn't care that there would be other people like them, he wasn't about to trust someone so easily. Not after what him and his brother had been though. And what's worse was Chase was actually considering it too. Leo wasn't about to let himself be taken. "I'm not going anywhere!!" he yelled as he shut his eyes tightly so they couldn't be seen.
Elsa jumped when he heard the boy speak so loudly. "Okay okay, jeeze. Never said you had to go. We heard about the one who beat that murderer nearly to death. Kinda liked him but we don't have an interest in him." she said as she folded her arms and rolled her eyes. "Fine.....we'll just get going but this won't be the last time you hear from us!" Elsa said as she took out a small black ball from her pocket and threw it on the ground. The ball broke and a puff of smoke popped from it but not nearly enough to envelope Elsa in a black shroud so she could make a mysterious getaway. "Damnit these things still don't work!!"

At seeing the failed attempt at a dramatic exit, Cherry lost all seriousness and started laughing. "Oh my gosh! What a fail!" She fell to the floor and started rolling around, unable to keep standing with all the laughing. When she finally got her bearings, she got up and dusted herself off. "That has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a while."

Elsa gave Cherry a rather disturbing glare. "I'd like to see you create something like this!" she said rather defensively. "Come on Rin, lets go!" she barked and began to walk away from the group but Rin wasn't following her. "Rin!! Stop playing with Leo!" she called but of course Rin wasn't listening.
Rin lagged behind to observe Leo some more and placed a finger to his forehead. "You're just like me. I have visions too." she said softly as she slowly pressed her forehead to Leo's, sending a visual message of the organization before she left with Elsa.
Leo stood there as he received the message with awe, he never knew anyone who could send other people memories like that. Leo thought he was the only one with this ability but clearly he was wrong. Leo didn't say a word as Rin ran off with Elsa and headed out of the neighborhood. "That was strange...." he said softly but even he heard the understatement in that.

"That's only putting it lightly," Cherry said, glancing at the direction that the sisters had gone to before turning toward Leo. "So, it seems you have visions? That would explain just about everything. Do they happen randomly?" If Elsa was telling the truth, that her organization could help Leo control his visions, it would make sense that they would come out of the blue right now. Just like the predictions the twins shared.

Leo gave a soft sigh, he was hoping to tell the twins on his own terms but seeing as he was robbed of that chance, all Leo could do was play the cards he was dealt. "Yeah....I do have visions. The last vision I had caused me to have a seizure. I'm not even sure if I want to control them, if anything, right now I just want them to go away but I don't think that will be happening anytime soon." he said softly before his expression turned serious. "But one thing is for sure, I am not going with them without my brother. I don't think he would let me go while he is in the hospital anyways."

"Sounds smart. We don't even know those people," Cherry agreed, casting a slight glare at Chase. "Who would have thought our neighbor has such an ability! Well, Chase and I have stuff like predictions. I guess they're like visions in a way, but they're too short to be called such. We actually just think of words after seeing images and we have to piece them together like a puzzle." The explanation probably wasn't necessary, especially since Leo didn't ask for one, but she felt like she had to describe how the predictions worked in order to make sense.
"If it makes you feel any better, we can't control our abilities either," Chase said. "They can be scary at times, too. The predictions were actually the reason why we were trying to rush you to the hospital this morning."

Leo gave a gentle nod toward all of the incoming information. He agreed that him and the twins were much the same but also very different. Perhaps he could learn to trust those girls who were from that organization. "I don't want to talk about it right now....." he said softly, walking backward a bit and finding the book he had dropped. "Lets put this basket together and forget this ever happened. I'm pretty sure those girls may have been lying about that whole organization thing. I mean I'm sure abilities like mine are so rare that they would have an extremely tough time finding people like that." at least thats what he hoped.

Cherry smiled. "Yeah. Before those marks on your arm, Chase and I thought we were the only ones who used magic," she said with a smile. "There can't possibly be enough people to form such an organization." She did wonder if they should tell Leo's brother about the women. He probably would like to know who wrote on the kid's arm. "Let's quickly hurry back. Sam and Sasha are probably worried about us. There's also a lot to explain." She extended her arm out to Leo in case he wanted to hold onto it.

Leo gave a soft sigh at all of the pondering, it was enough to make his head spin. He moved toward the door and bumped into Cherry's arm, Leo placed his hand on her arm and was escorted back to their apartment. "I wonder what Ash will think of those girls...." he wondered out loud as they entered the home.
