GRACE POTTER

Location:
Room overlooking the range and in the range -> warehouse
Interaction:
The whole team

---

Grace took a deep breath of fresh air as they departed the van. The air around the warehouse wasn't much better. She preferred the clean air of the mountains, away from the civilization of the city. Johnny flicked the light on and the warehouse seemed to wake from a slumber. The florescent lights clicked and buzzed to life as they flickered for a moment before remaining on. She took another deep breath. The air smelled of fresh lumber, metal, and some mechanical fluid. The room was barren except for 4 small tables that held 4 large knotted ropes.

Gordian Knots.

Grace groaned inwardly. She hated puzzles. These knots reminded her of the rubix cubes that she could never figure out as a kid. She knew the outcome that she was trying to reach, but could never quite get there completely. She looked at the other members of her team and raised her eyebrows. She had no clue what this mundane task was going to teach them. Maybe it was just to kill some time and get them out of the institute. She didn't care either way, but she knew that she could not get the knots undone.

Walking slowly to the table on the far right, she sat cross legged on the floor and pulled the rope into her lap. She began her search for an end of the rope. quickly, she looked from Christie to Johnny to Bryson. "This is going to be harder than it seems, isn't it?" she said to no one in particular.

Nope. Whoever needs her the most I guess

Oh no! that sucks! Did you slice it open?

She nodded slowly and looked up at the stars, studying them. She could not wrap her head around the idea that there was something more. Some place much more vast and beautiful than what she was seeing right now. The stars danced across the night sky and reflected off the surface of the ocean below. Jo looked over her shoulder at Leon as he mentioned flying alone. He seemed to always be alone she noted sadly. He was hard to be around and even harder to get to know.

"It is getting rather late," She noted and looked at the light coral watch on her left wrist. He asked if he had granted her wish. Jo took a moment to consider his question. She hadn't exactly wished to be taken flying by some insanely hot god. But... If she had thought it was ever possible she would have long ago. She nodded again and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I think you have," She said, "More than once." She left the sentence hanging. She wasn't quite sure what she had meant either.

They touched down beside the Jeep. Isabelle was beaming from ear to ear. She clapped her hands when they returned and asked if they had enjoyed the view. Jo nodded and couldn't help but beam back at her. "It was very nice," She told her and started the Jeep. "To the mansion to drop you off then?" She had a sudden urge to invite them to the hatching, but she didn't think that Leon would be interested and want to tag along with Isabelle anymore. "Unless, you want to come Isabelle." She loved the little girl like her sister already. Her attitude was so infectious. She chanced the invitation anyway.

*giggles*

She held tightly to him, her arms wrapped securely around his waist. The scene was breathtaking. She could see the carnival from high above and the lights were spectacular. Leon pulled then farther west and headed out over the open ocean. "Wow." She was completely speechless.

Jo rested her head lightly on Leon's shoulder and soaked in the view. She had never seen anything like it. "This is utterly beautiful. Thank you." She smiled up at Leon. "Did you do this often when you were in heaven?"

Falling from Heaven {SinfulSkills ~ unfallenangel}

Same. The originals are my favorite. I am such a nerd

Falling from Heaven {SinfulSkills ~ unfallenangel}

The new one. I have seen them all so many times I can quote them randomly!

Wish? Jo looked at his outstretched hand warily. "What are you-" It dawned on her. "Oh." She smiled. "You're going to take me flying?" She couldn't help but be excited. She looked over at Isabelle who was smiled from ear to ear in the back of the Jeep. Jo looked back to Leon and hesitated. The last time she touched him it had ended badly. The electric pull was back as well. Her heart felt like it was beating out of her chest and she couldn't tell if it was from the excitement of possibly flying or the nerves from touching Leon again and feeling what she felt before.

It had all been him before, hadn't it? She didn't actually think she could feel that strongly about a complete stranger she had met less than 24 hours ago. It was his touch. She looked up at Leon once more and wondered what would happen if she declined. She would never get this opportunity again. She bit her lip and her eyes bore straight into his. She reached and and twisted her fingers through his. The electricity surprised them both and made her fingers tingle. She felt the pull deep in her heart as well. "Alright." She grinned slightly.
