"The hero isn't a bad thing to be, " he finished paying, helping her load the groceries up and heading out towards the car, "but I wouldn't say I'm desperate."

"You're housing a fair amount of refugees and bringing a lot of unneeded trouble onto yourself. Either you're really that good of a hero, or you're desperate to be one." Kat started picking up the grocery sacks as they reached the SUV, loading things up.

He smiled, packing the blankets and fragile stuff in the back seat.
"I guess I'm just a natural hero, then."

"I suppose you are," Kat chuckled. She put in the last of the groceries and then came around to stand in front of Jarred. "When you asked if my life has been all bad, to tell you honestly, it's not. These last few days, as hectic as they've been, have been a few of my best." She took a step closer, "It's nice having people to depend on. Thank you for that."

Jarred stepped foreword, closing what little distance there was between them.
"It's what I'm here for, Kat." He smiled, leaning his head in slowly... when Kat's phone started to go off, Jeffery's name displayed.

Kat jumped slightly, but let out a small laugh as she pulled the phone out and answered the call. "Hey, coach. Is he still clawing at the doors or did you manage to calm him down some?"

Ruby St.Claire Kat jumped slightly, but let out a small laugh as she pulled the phone out and answered the call. "Hey, coach. Is he still clawing at the doors or did you manage to calm him down some?" Jarred smiled as he straightened, running a hand though his hair. "Something like that." Jeffery said on the other line. "I've convinced him that the creepy girl who dragged him to class isn't working for the bad guys, if that's something. What did you need to know?"

"That is something." Kat let out a sigh, leaning against the back of the SUV, "What I'd need to know is if he's willing to help said creepy girl hit back at the bad guys. I'm thinking I may have to ask that of him straight though."

"Alright, hang on a sec." Jeffery said. There was minor fumbling and Samuel answered the phone.
"Hey, this is that girl from school, right? Kat?"

Arch the Angel "Alright, hang on a sec." Jeffery said. There was minor fumbling and Samuel answered the phone. "Hey, this is that girl from school, right? Kat?" Kat smiled, switching the phone to her other ear. "Hey, Sam. Yeah, that would be me. How much has Jeffery explained?" Kat glanced at Jarred with a slight apology in her eyes, knowing the phone conversation wasn't going to be very brief.

Jarred just smiled nodding faintly in acknowledgment.
"Not much. He told me about you guys and your group, a bit about the Keepers, and that they're after my a** like they got white hoods." He paused for a shrug, not that she could tell. "So what'd you need to ask me?"

"We're going to plan an ambush, bring one of the more active keepers out into the open and take him out. It'll relieve some of the pressure on us, on you, and on the other gifted people blooming in St.Eva. I wanted to ask for your help, considering my group doesn't really have that many offensive players. You don't have to commit yet, but I'd like you to consider it." Kat slid down and sat on the bumper of the SUV. "And if you've got more questions, about us, the keepers, I'd be able to answer some of them."

"Umm, I'll think about it, but honestly, I'm not really certain of my power. It seems like it just keeps me alive." Sam said, scratching his head. He smiled. "Might be you don't even have to worry, so yeah, but what is it you want me to do?"

"We'd just need you as back up. Even if your power is just keeping you alive, you'd tackle a man down a hell of a lot better than I would." Kat brushed a few strands of hair back from her face, almost regretting going strawberry blond, instead of a standard, crowd-blending brown.

Sam paused on the other end.
"I'll think about it. My schedule isn't exactly busy, so call when you've got a plan. And you said you don't have anyone in your group with an offensive power?" It sounded like he covered the phone for something. "Alright, call me when you've got your plan. I might have a better idea what I can do by then. Take care."
