((Collab Post between three remaining players))

Vin smirked, but she inwardly forced herself not to frown in concern. She hoped Derrin wouldn't ask too many questons, or dig around in her stuff. She didn't have anything that would give away her real identity, but the boy's clothes and various sizes would no doubt draw suspsicion. She'd also have to put off returning to a male form for a while, until she worked up the courage to confide her full ability to him.

She'd have to do that soon, considering he was willing to trust her in his home. "Too bad for him, he's missing out. Lucky me though." She said cheerfully. "Are you finished?" She asked, "We can go to your place now if you're ready. Just need to pick up my stuff. I left it under the fire escape on that cornerstore down the street from where the pyro went nuts." It was a small bag, but it served her purposes.

"Sure." Derring said, running his card for their food.  "Let's go."  He got up and started walking back the scene of the crime.

Vin was quick to follow, plucking another handful of fries from a vacated table on her way out. "Do you think the police are going to kill him? The guy I mean, the pyro?" She was worried about the government's reaction to supers.

"He'll go to trial, I'm sure.  Whether he actually killed anyone or not during that outburst, I don't know.  If he didn't they'll probably lock him up in a cell with a sprinkler system or fire supressing foam or something for the next decade.  He definately [i]attempted[/i] to murder some people."

Vin wasn't concerned about the man, but more for herself, and others with powers. "It's just... if they start getting used to fighting violent people like us, what happens when they come up on someone whose not doing anything wrong? Will they care? Or will they shoot first and ask questions later?" She sighed, shaking her head, "Sorry, not the best conversation topic there is." She apologized, then scooped his hand into hers and pulled him along as she picked up the pace. "Come on, I wanna see you're place before dark!"

They rounded the corner to the fire escape she'd hidden her bags under, of which there were only two small black backpacks that held clothes and hygene supplies like shampoo and toothepaste. She threw one over her shoulder and snatched the other one by it's top into her off hand. "Where to?" She asked with a smile.

"Just follow me."  he said, then lead her to his car.  Once he was there he got in and drove her to his place on the other side of town.

Convention:

Kyle pulled out his cell phone and brought up the forum where he'd been talking to other Supers, or at least people who claimed to be Supers, around the world.  It wasn't as if you could test people over the net, and with editing software being so advanced even video wasn't really proof.  "Here's the site I use."  He held the phone up so that Alex could see the screen.

"I've been there," spoke Alexander, "but I'm suspicious of potential moles; do we have a technopath somewhere, one whose personality can be easily vetted?"

"Unfortunately, no.  We could arrange to meet the ones in town personally if you want, and test them.  Other than that, I don't know."

"Let's do the former, then, tomorrow," the 18-year old boy continued. "Also, I think that we've stayed in the convention long enough; perhaps it's time to go back home?"

"Yeah, it's getting late.  We should go."
