The mood in the room seemed to have shifted into uneasy territory when the kid mentioned that he could communicate with ghosts. TB completely left the building, Wraith appeared to be on edge, and even Raven Tale seemed to be a bit fidgety. Manny didn’t really have any fear of ghosts, but it looked like a few in the group had things that were haunting them.

[color=a0410d][i][b]So, I guess that settles the question about his powers...but why would Umbra need a kid who can talk to ghosts? And how did he get away from someone as powerful as Umbra?[/b][/i][/color]

Just then, Tank stepped up to the plate to comfort the boy, despite his imposing size. Apparently, the big guy had a big heart to match and was able to win the boy’s affection. Manny smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

[color=a0410d][i][b]Finally, he calmed down...hopefully he stays that way. He might have some really valuable information on Umbra...plus, we gotta keep him safe and he won’t let us do that if he doesn’t trust us.[/b][/i][/color]

When the boy had released Ditch and she moved to the edge of the stage, Manny looked down at what remained of the bracelet. He scooped it up as Ditch finally explained the reason she called them all in the first place. His expression dropped at the mention of mind control.

[color=a0410d][i][b]Was he using mind control on the boy? This is just keeps getting worse…[/b][/i][/color]

Manny got up and walked to the edge of the stage, patting Tank on the shoulder when he passed. He hopped off and stood next to where Ditch was sitting.

[color=a0410d][b]“I hope since you know that we’re dealing with mind control that you also have come up with a way to fight against it.”[/b][/color]

Manny held the bracelet out to Ditch.

[color=a0410d][b]“Also, if the kid was aware of wearing this thing, maybe it doesn’t have much to do with the mind control. I could be wrong, but that’s just a thought. Perhaps we can study it.”[/b][/color]

He quickly closed his hand and held the bracelet in his pocket.

[color=a0410d][b]“But only after you get some rest. I heard you say that you haven’t slept the[/b][/color] [color=a0410d][i][b]entire[/b][/i][/color] [color=a0410d][b]time that we’ve been away, and as the person who had to[/b][/color] [color=a0410d][i][b]walk  you  back  to  HQ[/b][/i][/color][color=a0410d][b]...I’m not gonna let you work yourself to death.”[/b][/color]
