"Oh, scary," he mocked as he sipped his champagne casually and unfazed. Dillon, on the other hand, seemed to quiver slightly at the now angry hero. However, before he could say anything Benjamin Grant seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

"All is well," he said, attempting to quell Lydia's anger. "Before you go, Steelia, I'd like to invite you, your sidekick, Abaddon, and Metallica to stay at my humble abode."

Adrian raised an eyebrow at this, "Why would you do that?"

"It's only fitting that heroes and villains of your caliber live in adequate housing. And what's more adequate than my own?"

"And you want to get in good with the new number ones," he thought. Adrian couldn't deny that Benjamin's home was pretty damn cool. He always wanted to live in a mansion to boot. However, neither of those facts meant he trusted Benjamin in the slightest. 

Dillon cocked her head to the side the same way she did earlier, "For how long?" 

"Until you graduate, of course! I'd have you here longer, but that would prove difficult since you'd all have your own universes."

Dillon seemed to be getting excited at the idea as she grabbed Adrian's arm and said, "Ooh, we should do it!"

Adrian's eyes shifted down to look at her, [i]"You're too trusting,"[/i] he telepathically thought to her.

Dillon's eyes grew wide at this, "Whoa! Ho-" 

Immediately Adrian's hands clasped over her mouth before she could continue, "We'd like to think about it," he said with a fake smile.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow at the fold of events before him, but didn't bother questioning it. He then looked over to Steelia and Willow. "What about you?"
