Tawny did not remember dozing off, but the next time she had woken, it was to shouting, growling, and other sounds of struggle. She did not have time to process very much before a couple of her friends had taken off towards wherever the sounds were coming from. She hastily scrambled to her feet and bolted after them, wanting for them to stick together. She was stunned when they had gotten to the source of the commotion - a stranger attempting to fight off a pack of wolves. No doubt the entire situation was extremely unusual, but it was not the time to be asking any questions.

Before she knew it, Tawny had found herself in the middle of the chaos along with her friends who had begun attacking the ferocious animals. One of the wolves had turned its attention to the girl, making a headlong charge at her and tackling her to the ground before she could react.

"Ah! No!" She instinctively shielded her face, expecting to be mauled by the savage canine.

That did not happen, however. She opened her eyes, watching as the wolf stepped off of her while she sat up. She then shakily stood, confused at the animal that currently sat with its eyes fixed on her. It seemed to be... expecting something from her. Somehow, Tawny then felt compelled to say what she said next, though the reason why was way beyond her.

She locked eyes with the wolf, pointing to the frenzy. "M- Make them stop."

Immediately, the wolf turned and darted back into the fight, this time turning on the pack and attacking the other wolves. Tawny could only stare in astonishment at what had just happened. With one of the wolves on their side, she hoped it would help at least a little.
Will be catching up tomorrow.
Kai stumbled back a few steps as the caravan started to move, just only managing to keep his balance. He caught a glimpse of Roxy when she appeared out in the open to distract the guards as the man in white was driving away. He was puzzled, not expecting her to ever do such a thing, and hoped that she would be able to escape with most of the guards' attention currently on her. Not having to face any more guards for the time being, he lowered himself to lie on his front so as to reduce the possibility of falling off of the moving vehicle.

Just as he had crawled his way to the front porch, the man shouted some instructions to him. Grab some coins? That seemed like a rather strange thing to get him to do. He would comply for the moment, considering the current situation, but knowing the reason for the confusing request was probably important as well. He dropped himself off of the edge onto the front footboard, right behind the horse that the stranger in white was riding.

"Aye, Sir! But what for?" He asked as he threw the front doors of the carriage open hoping to see some coins lying about.

Right when he had stepped in, however, he heard an unusual sound coming from behind the back doors of the carriage. It sounded like someone was moving back there. Did a guard manage to get onto the caravan? Not wanting to engage in a sword fight inside the moving caravan, he wrapped his fingers around the grip of the flintlock pistol tied at his waist as he waited for the back doors to open. He wanted to end this one quick, and he had one shot. He hoped it would be all he needed.

Will probably get a post in tomorrow.
Alexanda could not help but notice how relaxed the strangers had become, shedding their formal demeanor as they proceeded to give her the explanation she had desired. She also found herself feeling more comfortable as she leaned back in her seat. Apparently, they seemed to be from some secret superhero organization, and they knew virtually everything about her double life. If these people had meant to cause her any harm they would probably have already done so. Having others to work with did not sound too bad, and besides, she had nothing to lose here as far as she knew.

She raised an eyebrow as the three men merged into one. "Ah, a fellow mutant. The 'Defiance Project', huh? All this actually sounds really good, though, is there some sort of contract you'll be needing me to sign? I'd like to know of any terms involved in this."

A slightly worried expression then crossed her face when the man shouted for her brother. Looks like they, or rather he, did know after all, not that she could be surprised anymore, considering how much he already knew.

"Hey, there's no need to-"

"Huh? What do you want with me?"

Before she could say anything else, Daniel had already responded. He was leaning out through his door frame to look into the living room. Alexanda rubbed the bridge of her nose as she considered the entire thing. Well, it would at least be fair to let him in on what was going on, though, she still did not have a clear idea of what else the suited man was intending to do.

@Typhon Cause that's what the best of friends do :) Come over here, you little lovable jerk! *Wraps Odum in a tight hug*
@RumikoOhara Tawny shall take pleasure in seeing him squirm ;)
It was not long before Lance returned her gaze. The eye contact was soon followed by an explanation, and Tawny was surprised by his smile. So he had somehow known how Lucas felt about Naomi. Either that, or she was the one who had not been observant from the start. Regardless, with everything else going on, she was at least glad to be able to start a conversation with one of her friends instead of having to just awkwardly listen in. She had always thought Lance was pretty cool. Despite his tendency to be blunt, she could see that he really cared about his friends.

"I don't know about less weird, but it's definitely interesting to see," she stated in response to his question. She then returned his smile. "It was... rather sweet of you to give him that encouragement."
