Andrew walked back into the kitchen. They hadn't known he was there and because of that he'd heard everything. He smiled.

That idiot. We're her family how can she think we'll believe her to be crazy?

"If you make it outta here, we make it outta here, we can start new lives. You can become more than just a grunt, Mike," said Kate, looking him in the eyes. "Start over. With this mission botched, nothing good's going to happen to those that survive. We have to disappear," she added. "Great chance to start over," she smiled.

"Least, that's what I'm gonna do," she murmured, sitting up and putting her hands behind her head. "You're welcome to tag along, if ya want," she smirked.

Jake stared at her a second more, glad she'd promised him she wouldn't hurt herself like that again.

"You don't think I'm crazy, do you..?"

Jake looked taken aback, shocked she would even ask. "No, of course not! Why?"

David groaned again, "Feels like i got hit by a speeding Chuck Norris, i've been hit worse though." He shook his head trying to clear his mind. "This is just like when carmen died and i disappeared for three days. You even found me and woke me up the same way. That voice of yours, the angels are jealous."

Bryce gave a shiver. Walking through the night, alone...moving from the crowds, the relative safety of the other people...it had been a mistake. Especially with that thing, the Tall Man prowling.

All his life, the being had hounded him. Kept him alive for some reason, showing him...things. Powers, secrets in strange unknowable tongues. Then, it had disappeared. Why had it come back?

A twinge. His hand shot up to his forehead, grasping it. It was here, it was her e ITWASHERE

He turned around. There, under a streetlight...

Something black darted up, coiling around the street lamp before tearing it down. With a crash and an echo as the glass broke, the light went out. His eyes adjusting to the darkness, he noticed that it was gone.

He could hear footsteps, but every time he sighted it it was gone again. He shot once, staring out into the night. "Take one step closer! ONE STEP!"

Only silence. The boy looked around himself for a few moments before turning to run. He had to get out of here.

Mia didn't notice Andrew walking away. "Usually hearing voices isn't exactly a sign of sanity," Mia said, sighing. "I didn't really think you thought I was crazy, but, you know, it's nice to have reassurance." She turned slightly so she was facing him more and rested her hand on his collarbone. "This is exhausting. At least it stopped talking for now."

He was hiding in one of the shops, abandoned now that everyone had evacuated. Bryce didn't care. All he could think about was that thing out there, the thing that had killed his parents, ripped them to shreds...

God, he could feel it, PULSING in his head. Looking for him. It wouldn't be long now. The boys fingers tightened around the shotgun, and he tried to go to the side of the counter, to look around...

The bell at the door let out a small ring as someone stepped into the shop. Bryce let out a dull gasp, darting beneath the counter and going to one of the shelves, opening it and trying to get inside-

The footsteps got louder, eventually stopping right at the counter. Everything seemed to stop.

Finally coming out of the shadows, it stepped up to him. Head looking down, a look of...what, sadness? Maybe it was just a trick of the light.

Potential. Wasted.

The things voice exploded in his head, a shrill, almost gravely oily tone resounding over and over and over, a hundred other voices joined with it. Screams, cries for help...

One hand grabbed his arm, another pushing and shoving, grabbing his chest and sending him to the ground. It looked down at him now, the two seeing face to face. It bent over the counter, staring at him. He could feel the thing, hear it's thoughts, feel that oily, thick sensation in his head.

You...mistake. Mistakes will be corrected.

It's hand fumbled at his shirt, trying to loosen it. Eventually it drove it's clawed fingers into the fabric, tearing it off.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"

MISTAKES WILL BE CORRECTED.

It grasped at his skin now, fumbling

trying to loosen it

tearing it off

He let out a scream.

The thing stared down at the bloody mess behind the counter, serpentine finger wiping blood on the counter. Strangely enough, the suit was completely clean.

It shook it's head, letting it's hands fall to the sides of the suit.

Eventually it would walk out of the shop, calling to the Masked Man like a pet dog.

Loose ends had been tied. Now, the time to end.

An omen: the fog was coming back.

'I..." Mike didn't know what to say. "...I don't know anything else. Disappear to where? To do what?" then he looked her in the eyes. "But...you do make it sound interesting..." he said, with a smile.

[Serenity]

"It doesn't matter," Katherine smiled. "In fact, the less planned, the better it should be. Even we won't know who the new 'us' are," she chuckled. She liked the idea of starting a new, fresh life.

It'd be great. To just forget about what's happened. To be a new person. She grinned and shifted on the couch, resting her legs on Mike's lap. "So, you'd tag along with me?"

Smirk.

[raelyn]

Jake gave Mia a small grin and a blush as her fingers brushed his collarbone, her hand resting there. Reaching up and putting his hand over hers, he added, "Yeah, I'm glad it's gone for now....hopefully, it'll never come back."

Jake knew that was probably not how the world was going to work, but he clung to his false hopes, anyways.

[Magus00]

"Not like I got anywhere else to go." He said with a sly smile. "'Course, I have become fond of present company." he added with a wink.

"But...We gotta do something for these folks too. Can't be leaving 'em here with no family, no where to go...Gotta...I dunno...take...them...with us?" he asked, almost like he was stating something.

"You, Me, that jerk in the gas Mask, and Dave are all these people got. Terrence, he's a good guy but, lets face it, guy can't take speak a straight sentence, much less, care for all the kids."

"No. Not gonna abandon them. Like you said...Family." he said, face turning red again.

Mia shut her eyes again. "Where is that thing now," she muttered. "I still need to shower," she said suddenly, opening her eyes again. "I forgot all about that, haha." She tenderly stood up, making sure she had her balance before turning back towards Jake, leaning down, and giving him a small kiss on the lips. "I'll be back in a little while," she said, smiling at him. "I can stand up now, so I should be fine."

[Serenity]

Jake and Mia seemed preoccupied with each other, noticed Katherine. She shifted a bit, sitting normally again and looked at him. "You're right," she smiled. "We have to take our new family with us." Glancing again at Jake and Mia, they didn't seem to be paying any attention to the two on the other couch so Katherine leaned over to Mike, pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

"Further shows how great of a guy you are," she whispered to him, grinning at him as she sat back, slightly away from him so the other two didn't think anything was up.

((Man in a shower? Also, no mention of why he was out of it, non-moving, in deep though the entire time?))
