Why We Fall

Cody had dropped himself down onto the grass and was absentmindedly watching the world go by as everyone else went about their business. He did take note of one of the girls trying to flirt with the old guy and he rolled his eyes at the whole thing. He watched a couple of others wander back into the ship but paid little attention to them. It wasn't like they could take off without him. Even a cursory glance at the ship told Cody that it needed repairs before it could go anywhere. That in itself worried him though. There were obviously going to be people looking for them and right now their only chance for escape was that ship or running into the forest. He doubted the second option would be of much use though.

He was watching what he assumed to be two birds, or something resembling birds, fly over head when he heard a scream. He reacted without even thinking about it and was quickly up off the ground and running towards the tree line. He wasn't the first to arrive but he pushed his way past the others there to see the obviously testified girl muttering something about a monster. Cody squinted as he peered into the forest. He didn't see anything but thought it was better to be safe than sorry. Apparently one of the other guys had the same idea and quickly scooped the girl up in his arms and turned to the others, telling them in his best attempt at an authoritarian voice to get back to the ship. Cody took one last look at the trees before following after everyone else.

She offed her old man? Nate tilted the his head at Christi as he looked her over. She didn't look like much. Certainly not like a killer. But then she wasn't the first kid he had heard of killing an aabusive parent. There was only so far you could push a person before they push back. And the harder you push someone the harder they pushed back. Nate was rather proud of her actually. Maybe killing her old man was a little excessive but he wasn't the one being abused so who was he to judge? He made a mental note to give her some numbers to call after this was all finished. He imagined there wasn't much support for abused kids out on the sticks.

At the mention of Julian Guiderone, Nate seemed to lose all interest in Christi and his head snapped around to Eli. His brow furrowed as he tried to put a face to that name. It sounded vaguely familiar but he couldn't for the life of him think why. It was like a mental itch he just couldn't scratch. Eli mentioning that the man was a ghost eased his mind slightly but not enough that he felt comfortable. He would have to do some digging of his own. Just to see if his contacts could pull up something Eli's hadn't. It wasn't that he didn't trust Eli...He just didn't trust anyone...Including Eli.

"None of it makes any sense." Nate mused, more to himself than talking to anyone else. "Why would he want us all together? He obviously wants to use us for something...Either that or they just want to get us all in one place so it's easier to take us all out" He said it in a very matter of fact manner and it was one he had actually used himself, but upon seeing the faces of some of the others, he laughed awkwardly and added "...But I'm sure it's not that."

@RawkLike the poor kid isn't scared enough, you have to inflict Vin's nightmares on him?

I don't appreciate you all ganging up on my girl, just saying.

@Xandrya

Yeah, picking on Jennifer is Nate's thing!

Nate lowered himself delicately into a chair that looked like it had seen better days. A chair that looked like it had literally fallen off the back of a truck. A chair that looked like it was probably older than everyone in the room combined. He wondered where Eli had found it and, more importantly, why he was so fascinated by it. Maybe it was the concussion or the lack of sleep or a mixture of both. He tried not to think about the things that may be living in it and forced himself to listen to Eli.

Questions? Oh Nate had so many. It was why he was here after all. Why he had been through hell. Why he had put up with Jennifer and Vincent and...He had a vague memory of someone else being around but he couldn't remember who. It was why he had come all the way to Kentucky of all places. The only reason he would ever come to God damn Kentucky.

"Oh I have plenty of questions." he informed Eli with a snort. "Why are we suddenly superheroes? How did it happens? Who the hell are these kids? Who's behind this and why and, this is the most important one...What's that smell?"

I'll do my best to keep up with my phone but I'm not used to doing things this way. It sucks because I use that laptop so much.

I feel like a kid whose favourite toy broke....I'm gonna go over here and cry now.

@AcerRo Yup. :(

Guys, I apologise but I think my laptop may have just died. (I'm typing this on my phone) I'm not 100% sure yet but if it has, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep posting here. There's only so much I can do with a phone.

I'll get back to you when I know for sure.

Just a quick FYI guys, I probably won't be on for the rest of the night. Got things to do.
