Before they pulled up into the strip mall, Leighton's mind felt tingly as Max connected with her thoughts. She felt a bit stupid, not realizing that of course, they would keep tabs on her phone. Still, she didn't care at this point, so long as Desiree was safe. She didn't know if Veil was listening or not, but at least Max was. And yet, the question he asked threw her. What did he mean by "other reality"? [i][color=FB5A7E]"I'm afraid you lost me, Max. Don't know about this other reality Wanda created. Sounds like the inspiration for a sci-fi novel. But that's not why I wanted to connect with Veil."

"I don't know if she can hear me, but I have someone with me that the Hellfire Circle wanted me to pick up to bring to them. I don't trust them to have their best interests at heart with her and she's already scared and on the run. I wanted to bring her to the underground to have a safe place to stay before she decides what she wants to do. I know they moved from the old underground, but she needs to lay low. If Veil can hear me, we'll swing by the old underground and meet up and you can take her in if you want. If she can't hear me, Max, can you like...magic up a note in her hand or something? And you can meet us there too if you want, Max. I don't think we'll be welcomed at the Hellfire Circle for much longer if Jinx has anything to say."[/color][/i]

With that sent, she turned to face Desiree. [color=FB5A7E]"I promised you a cup of coffee and I plan to deliver it. We can stop at Dunkin' and I can answer any question you have, but then we need to get going. I guarantee if they haven't already got someone else to try to find you, they'll have that other guy come back."[/color]

Ana thought a bit. It sounded like Jinx and Ice Queen had separated and that Ice Queen had the target. Which more than likely meant that Jinx screwed up. And it showed that Ice Queen could be trusted, to an extent. Reeva didn't though as she instructed Pyro to tail them. What was the saying? If you can't get something done right, do it yourself? She didn't trust anyone to see this through and if they wanted the target here in one piece, she would see that done.

She stood up as Reeva began to leave. [color=9A86AD]"I'll come with Pyro, to oversee things. Ensure they come back in one piece. Wouldn't want any damaged property."[/color] And, she had to admit, she was rather curious why this target was so important. They could pluck anyone off the street easily enough for their means. What did this one offer? Ana looked forward to finding out.
