Tony awoke silently, rising out of bed at the early time of 5:40 AM, before hopping in the shower. He always woke up at ungodly hours, and both his sleep and awakening were dead silent - a year or two of living in Wonderland will do that to ya... The cold water hit Tony's back with annoying pattering, and he quickly rushed through his shower with the autonomy of a man who had done something a thousand times over. He pulled on his robe, and quickly shaved his face, leaving the bathroom at 6. He slowly walked over to his own room, before throwing on an old pair of jeans and a shirt that gave him a look of your average city dweller. He then slid onto the couch in the living room, before turning on the morning news - obviously, the top story was about The Covenant, the group that had managed to cause a good portion of Boston to enter lock down for an entire week... All Tony knew was that a declaration of war wasn't going to sit well with anybody from the Wonderland - he knew, cause it sure as hell didn't sit right with him. These people were, more than likely, just crazy people who got some powers. Nothing special. But something about them made them seemed... Organized. Like they actively plan things out, rather than doing something that just sounds cool or satisfies their twisted desires. 

Daniel exited the bathroom around 6:30, wearing a nice dress shirt, tie, suit pants, and hurriedly putting a coat on. The kid always woke up a little later than he was supposed to be somewhere, and his morning rush was already normal to Tony.

"Don't forget to pay rent your half of the rent!"

Daniel slammed the door as he ran out, the words he shouted barely heard by Troy. The guy was probably a little paranoid about Troy being able to pay at all considering he only ever saw Tony sitting around all day, and lord knows he is too busy to get more hours at his dead end job. Tony chuckled slightly - with this power, he had already gotten about 5k, all by just saying a few words during poker games or selling things online. This apartment was nice, but nowhere near 10K a month - Tony was able to afford this place alone if he wanted to. But in all honesty, living alone wasn't worth it. After staying in the Wonderland, you are too paranoid about the sounds during the night - it's good when you have somebody that you can blame them on. Tony looked at his new phone, arguably the best he ever owned - 9:45... Well, another movie couldn't hurt. Tony moved from his sitting position to lay down on flat on the couch, before flicking through channels for something good. With this power, he could spend the rest of his life like this - hell, he could probably live even better if he was smart.

A knock at the door alerted him. Groaning, Tony climbed out of the couch, and made his way to the door, fixing his hair as he did so. Upon opening it, he was face-to-face with one of his only friends, arguably the closest he ever had. The scrawny frame fit perfectly with Robby's rat-like appearance, and the dirty clothes he wore only amplified the similarities. Before he even opened his mouth, Tony grabbed him by the shoulders, and pulled him into the apartment, closing the door swiftly as he did so.

Robby had fallen to the ground, spilling envelopes everywhere as he did so. He slowly rose to his feet, gathering the envelopes into a pile as he did so.

"Geez man, way to welcome an old friend. I got you off the streets you know."

Tony sighed, helping Robby from the ground. The guy was always good at guilt tripping people, but Tony was pretty used to it. After all, he brought that up for the smallest of reasons, including trying to get a muffin Tony bought for breakfast. Tony smirked - Robby hadn't changed in the slightest.

[color=00a651]"Guess I'm just a little anxious to find out what a member of one of the craziest gangs in Boston wants with me."[/color]

"Yeah, very funny. Look, Pipeline told me to give you a message - We're having another circus, and he wants you to be a ringleader, so be sure to stop by sometime -."

Tony grabbed Robby by the shoulder, before shaking his head.

[color=00a651]"Love the offer, but I can't man. No offense, but the time I spent there was god awful - I'd be fine with never seeing another circus in my life."[/color]

This was when it came on - the puppy dog eyes, the stammering, Robby's secret weapon.

"C'mon man, it'll be just like old times... B-besides, Pipeline said you could even keep any money we win!"

[color=00a651]"Dammit... Fine. You owe me for this - I want as little to do with that place as possible."[/color]

Robby smirked.

"Thanks man, saved me. Quick question though... You busy right now?"

Tony sighed, not liking where this was going.

[color=00a651]"What is it?"[/color]

"Nothing big - I just need to go and deliver some 'invitations'. Wouldn't mind having a little extra muscle in case things go sour though."

Tony covered his face with his hand, hiding his contemplation. He could go, but that would mean getting needlessly involved with Wonderland again... He sure as hell knew that anybody that caught him working with a bunch of crazies like that would shoot first and ask questions later... But Pipeline knew who was okay and who was a problem, so they most likely wouldn't encounter any rats or people who wanted to start a fight with them...

[color=00a651]"Fucking fine... Wait a little bit."[/color]

Tony ran to his room, grabbed a coat hanging on the door handle, and jogged back, sliding it on as Robby opened the door for him.

"It's great to have you back, buddy."

The pair exited the apartment, before making there way onto the unusually barren streets.

[color=00a651]"Who's first?"[/color]
