"Yes. It is," Sean lied. His eyes gave it away. He tried to keep it tucked down, but his mother said the same rhyme to him when he was a baby. He couldn't remember much what she looked like anymore. And the images of his father had been long replaced by Sinister's grinning mug.
"Well, the world is one hell of a calamity," Christian said, "I wouldn't be surprised if their were mutants out there who completly lost their powers..."

"I use to dream that I'd become a singer or an actress like her," Iada said softly, "But I guess that was silly too, you know, someone with my face getting into either of those fields."
"But Christian I can't lose my powers. There's too much danger around, how will we protect ourselves? Sinister, I highly doubt he's portect us with out something up his sleeve."

"That's why I'm still alive," he said, "I've no doubt he has nothing planned now. It's later, when he comes and asks for a favor because of this that worries me..."
Sean opened his mouth to defend her looks, but stopped. Ever since the apocalypse, he hadn't felt as brave as he used to. He was insecure of his surroundings, and never for a moment did he think they couldn't disappear around him, "That's not true", he said, finally, before forcing his mouth to stop working.

Against Iada's will she felt her face flush, "You're kind," she said and turned away and sat on the ground.
Amelia angrily blew a lock of hair out of her eyes, "If he wasn't the one that took care of you, I would have killed him by now," she commented.

"And given my condition, I would have enjoyed watching it," he said, scratching his chest with a barely functioning hand, "You look pretty when you're all dirty from digging through rubble all day long."
Sean looked at her, surprised, then looked back to the ground, "No, I'm not," he said, turning to go back inside.

"And you're handsome despite the bandages and almost dying," Amelia said leaning over and kissing him.
"Hey think of it this way, I haven't had to many compliments on my looks, so I'll take what I get," Iada said her voice a little hardened.

Christian leaned up to meet her lips, although is didn't make his body feel good about it, "Yeah, I bet I look like a regular Brad Pitt,"he said, "If he was cast in a mummy movie..."
Sean didn't say anything more. He continued inside, angry at himself for not being able to voice his opinions about her. How she made him want to laugh, when he knew he shouldn't, Damn you, Sinister...You've made me as cold and unfeeling as you are...

Iada turned her head in time to see Shrapnel heading inside and frowned. this wasn't how she planned it, but she did have a plan, 'B.'
"Bamf!" Iada went and appeared in front of Shrapnel, grabbed him by the shirt and locked lips with him, "There, that should put some color on your cheeks," she grinned before bounding off, "Gotta go check on the love birds," she called back to him.
"More like Lucky, from Lucky Charms that the kids mugged for the ceral," Amelia said giving him another quick kiss before Iada came bounding into the room her face flushed, "Have fun torturing Shrapnel?"
"Yeah pretty much, he's fun to tease," Iada grinned.

Christian shook his head, "That poor boy... I bet he never knew what hit him."
Sean stood in the doorway, frozen. He didn't move, didn't talk, didn't blink. He didn't even think. For a good two minutes he stod there in a frozen scare. Did she...? Did I just...? No, stop. Sinister owns you now. Stop, and don't even believe for a second she'd want to be with you, Shrapnel... It just isn't true.

"Yea porting in front of someone and kissing him does that to a person," Iada said doing a handstand to relieve some of her energy.
"Iada, you know that's wrong to do to someone!" Amelia said chuckling, "I wonder what the poor boy is thinking now?"

Sean walked up to Sinister, how had reclaimed his place in the yellow chair in the middle of the toy store, and nodded his head in respect, "Sir, I'm going out again. See if there's anyone still alive."
Sinister raised an eyebrow, "What? It's getting late, it can wait til morning."
"Understood," he said, "I thought I coul duse the fresh air."
"Fine, but not for long," Sinister warned, "I trust those three as much as they trust me."
Sean shook his head, "If anything should happen," he said, an innocent smile crossing his face as he turned, "I'll take the blue one."
"You still full of sugar," Christian asked, smiling as Iada juggled herself on one hand.

"Indeed, and for my next act I'm going to go pick on Sinister again and see if he tries to kill me," Iada said walking out the door still on her hands.
"Five bucks says she'll last five minutes," Amelia muttered to Christian.

"Before Sinister cracks, or before she gives up and admits defeat," He asked, slowly trying to work the hurt out of his hands.

"Either or," Amelia replied.

Christian took a deep breath, "10 bucks, and I'll take that action," he nodded.
"You are a strange one," Sean asked, passing Iada as she walked past him on her hands, "What are you doing?"

"You're on, now what were we up to before she came in?" Amelia asked.
"Well I'm going to bother Sinister, duh," Iada said flipping herself back onto her feet, "what are you doing? Coming back for more?"

Christian gave her a mock-disappointed look, "I think you were kissing me, actually..."
Sean, turned back to leave, but not before smiling at her coyly, and whispering "You wish," as he passed her.

"Eh, I don't know it wasn't that bad of a kiss consitering, you know, you didn't put any effort into it," Iada said shrugging, "But it wasn't the best kiss I'd ever had."
"Oh yeah," Amelia grinned a kissed him again, "And we should be getting some sleep as well."

Christian frowned, "Aww, it was just getting good, too." He gave Amelia's hand a squeeze, and closed his eyes, "Make sure I don't wake up dead, ok?"
Sean suddenly found himself feeling very c.ocky, "I could fix that," he said, stepping up to Iada's face, and stopping within a half inch of her lips.

"Then fix it," Iada said glazing into his eyes with wreckless amusement, "Or are you scared?"
"I'll kill you if you do," Amelia joked curling up on her cot and pulling a blanket around her chin.
