	That same night, Eris and Mindy decided to discuss Max and the mysterious Moth Pin. Now that they had each others numbers, they were able to plan things out more efficiently, and thus the new plan excluded both Charlton and Darius. [color=mediumspringgreen]“I trust Charlton more than anything, but...who is to say he doesn’t trust me?”[/color] Eris explained in chat. Mindy had been confused, and typed back.

[color=slateblue]“What, you think Charlton distrusts you?[/color] [color=slateblue]Have you ever done anything to provoke something like that in the past?”[/color] She asked. Eris thought for a bit. They sat on the floor of their small room, their knees to their chests, and their phone their only light source. 

[color=mediumspringgreen]“No.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]I don’t think so.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]At least, I know I’ve been a good kid for most of my life, but Max and Charlton have a...deeper history.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]They go way back, Mindy.”[/color] They said. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Charlton could make me call off this tiny investigation if he wanted to.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]He might want to protect Max from something, and hiding whatever dark secret he and Leila have is the perfect way to do that.”[/color]

Mindy was in the hotel room, in the bathroom. She had to quietly sneak away in order to chat, or else the screen light would wake Darius. The lights in the bathroom were also off, though they didn’t have to be. Mindy was just a little paranoid with all this sneaking around. [color=slateblue]“I guess I could see him doing something like that.”[/color] She said. [color=slateblue]“He does care about you a lot, and ever since your mom went off on tv, I could see him being even more protective.”[/color]

Eris blinked, confused. They typed, [color=mediumspringgreen]“What do you mean, ‘Ever since my mom went off on tv?’[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]What happened?”[/color] They asked. Mindy gulped. She thought Eris might’ve already known, but judging from the local news stations here in Provence, she should have known Eris would be a little out of the loop. 

[color=slateblue]“Your mom went on some talk shows, claiming she disowned you and everything.[/color] [color=slateblue]She’s started some kind of ‘Anti Super’ movement, a bunch of people are rallying behind her, too.”[/color] Mindy said. [color=slateblue]“You kind of spooked Atlanta when you escaped.[/color] [color=slateblue]I mean, the music was just...so loud.”[/color]

Eris tried to remember back to that night. Was the music really that powerful back then? They just remembered it being loud enough for everyone to hear, but they didn’t think it would be so loud as to scare people. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Really?[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]I don’t really remember much from that night.”[/color] They said.

Mindy typed, [color=slateblue]“Yeah, you also did quite a bit of damage too.[/color] [color=slateblue]Lot’s of buildings lost windows because of your power.[/color] [color=slateblue]Is this the first time anyone’s told you about that night?”[/color] She asked. She would’ve thought, since Charlton was with them, that he would’ve at least told them in some detail about what happened back then. Why didn’t he?

[color=mediumspringgreen]“Yeah...Charlton just said the music was loud, and that the house was destroyed, but colorful.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]He said I made sunflowers and stairways made out of chilli peppers.”[/color] They laughed to themself. [color=mediumspringgreen]“It sounds ridiculous whenever I think about it, but for the life of me...I can’t seem to recall what happened clearly.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]I just remember the music suddenly changing from Kenny G, to the Beatles.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]Then seeing Charlice’s scared face, and then suddenly I was on the roof, and walking down the street in a ragged party dress.”[/color] 

[color=slateblue]“Party dress?”[/color] Mindy asked. 

[color=mediumspringgreen]“Charlice wouldn’t let me change.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]Or rather, she locked my closet door.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]I wasn’t even allowed to bathe until I escaped and found Charlton.”[/color] They said. 

[color=slateblue]“Oh.”[/color] Mindy sat without typing anything for awhile. [color=slateblue]“You don’t have to talk about the...incident if you don’t want to.”[/color]

Mindy waited, until they responded finally. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Yeah, you’re right.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]Maybe some other time.”[/color] They changed the topic. [color=mediumspringgreen]“So...about the Moth Pin again.”[/color] They said.

[color=slateblue]“I have some theories.[/color] [color=slateblue]But I don’t think you’ll take very kindly to any of them.”[/color] She said. 

[color=mediumspringgreen]“Why?”[/color] Eris asked. 

[color=slateblue]“Well, I’ve been thinking.[/color] [color=slateblue]What if Leila and Max also have some kind of history together?[/color] [color=slateblue]He can’t be the agent himself, that wouldn’t make sense.[/color] [color=slateblue]But what if someone he knows is?”[/color] She said.

[color=mediumspringgreen]“Like a family member?[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]I don’t know about that.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]I thought about that too, but I can’t seem to find anything on the Heignsworth family.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]None of them are famous supers, and as far as the media is concerned, they aren’t all that exciting either.”[/color]They said. [color=mediumspringgreen]“The only media attention they got was a couple of years ago when they were invited to the Righberry estate, but everyone gets invited there, so…”[/color] They blew a piece of hair out of their face.

[color=slateblue]“The Righberry estate, huh.”[/color] Mindy said. [color=slateblue]“So if it’s not a family member, than maybe a friend?”[/color]

[color=mediumspringgreen]“If it’s a friend, then we’ll never find out.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]We’d sound too suspicious.”[/color] Eris pointed out. 

[color=slateblue]“Yeah.”[/color] Mindy admitted. Then she sat up, a realization suddenly coming to her. [color=slateblue]“I bet you know someone who could do a little more extensive background check.”[/color] She typed.

[color=mediumspringgreen]“Who are you…”[/color] Eris almost sent their bewilderment to Mindy before remembering. [color=mediumspringgreen]“You’re right![/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]The twins!”[/color] Kassandra and Kyle Yuuteki would definitely know how to do a background check on someone as obscure as a friend of Max Heinghsworth’s. 

[color=slateblue]“I saw them a while ago.[/color] [color=slateblue]Right before we got into the hotel, they bombarded us with questions.[/color] [color=slateblue]Though, it was weird.”[/color] She said. [color=slateblue]“Because most of them were just about you.”[/color] She laughed. 

Eris groaned, [color=mediumspringgreen]“I told them I would never do an interview.[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]Interviews are just...weird.”[/color] They said. 

[color=slateblue]“I understand.”[/color] Mindy said. [color=slateblue]“Will you still go through with it?[/color] [color=slateblue]You don’t have to if you don’t want to.[/color] [color=slateblue]I’m sure we could find a different way of getting the information.”[/color]

[color=mediumspringgreen]“No, I’ll do the interview.”[/color]
  They said. 

[color=slateblue]“I’ll come with you, just in case.”[/color]
 She typed back. Eris felt a wave of gratitude that they couldn’t express on through the phone. 

[color=mediumspringgreen]“Thank you, that means a lot.”[/color]
 They said. [color=mediumspringgreen]“So, I guess the plan is tomorrow we find the twins, we do an interview, and then they get us our info.”[/color]


[color=slateblue]“Right.[/color] [color=slateblue]I don’t think Darius or Charlton will question us going out tomorrow.[/color] [color=slateblue]They’d probably think we just wanna catch up, but really we’re trying to unravel some kind of mystery behind a Moth Pin.”[/color]
 Mindy said. 

Eris laughed. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Yeah, just a couple of ace detectives doing their jobs.”[/color]
 They joked. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Get some sleep, we have a lot of begging to do tomorrow.”[/color]

[color=thistle]tonight's atmosphere is a little weird, because normally i listen to music when writing, but I haven't listened to Prince at all in the past weeks, yet I still couldn't get this song out of my head.[/color]
