Hornet nodded, listening intently but staying wisely silent. She fidgeted slightly though, eager to say something, anything.

Blink paused when he felt the bed shift a bit. He took a breath before glancing over at Hornet, a frown on his face. She was fidgeting, and had that look on her face. The one that seemed to scream that she had something to say. "What?" his voice was bland with a hint of annoyance.

"...are they alive? Do you miss them?" She couldn't hold the questions back- they were important and Hornet could only hope to encourage him into thought.

He winced. "No. They're gone. I was the cause of their demise..." Blink replied, his eyes darkening. The second question was like another needle through the heart. Did he miss them..? The look that flashed in his eyes said more than he ever could with words. He averted his gaze.

(If both Broken and Chaos are okay with it, maybe we can have Rosie and Jerome respond to the alarms that Bastet set off. They're not exactly heroes, but Rosie wants to be and will definitely want to help. :3 Partly depends on whether Jerome lets her or not.)

The look that flashed in his eyes said more than he ever could with words. He averted his gaze. "Keep talking, then." She whispered. "Remember them, and maybe you'll find your answer." Hornet fidgeted a bit, and let her hand rest between them. If he wanted comfort physically, she was a there.

"Are you insinuating I forgot them!? Because I haven't. I've never forgotten them a day in my life!" Blink snapped, whipping a glare in her direction. He took another breath, and forced himself to calm. Was it even worth telling her this? He thought that maybe if he told her what had happened to them, maybe she would finally understand why she couldn't be around them. Her 'encouragement' was becoming quite annoying. He wasn't spilling this out so she could 'help' him. He wasn't just some weakling who needed therapy. "My power was always meant to be used as a one man team. A one man team against more than one enemy. It was never meant to be used with a bigger team." --- (Chaos: Okay! I'll just wait to see what Broken thinks. ^^)

"But it's selfless when used to help others. Literally, you put yourself in danger over another." Hornet insisted, her hand between them clenching.

(Hey Broken! I was just wondering if Jerome would be willing to let Rosie try and help one of Chaos' characters. ^^ It would start something like this...)
Rosie heard alarms. Her eyes widened, as she looked up from the alley she had been studying. "Jerome! Somebody needs help," she called to him, her heart beating rapidly. The wind around her sped up a notch. --- Blink's eyes narrowed. "Sure, maybe one person, depending on the circumstances, but that doesn't always work. It's all about positioning, timing, and efficiency. One wrong step and I'm dead. Another wrong step and they're dead. Really, it just messes up the flow. Civilians just get in the way. Even other heroes who try to help get in the way." He lowered his gaze, thinking of the death that had happened earlier that day. He unhooked his weighted staff and held it in his hands. He lifted his staff the the weak light from the window. It was enough to reveal a shallow engraving on the pole of the staff. One that read, 'Pedro, The Fist of Unbalance'. It was a strange name indeed, but Pedro would have no other. The tiniest of sad smiles quirked at his mouth.

Hornet looked up for just a moment, to observe this as well. It took her a moment to recognize the words, but when she did, she finally met his gaze. "Pedro?"

Blink kept staring at his staff. "Pedro was the first of the group to lose his life. We were attacked by another thief, one who sought the money that we had just stolen. They were stronger than we thought." He remembered the hunger. They hadn't had a decent meal in a while. And it was nearing Fernando's birthday. They wanted to surprise him. "He wasn't just a thief. He had me held down. I couldn't switch places with him because my face was pressed to the ground. He was about to end it, and the others were too far away to stop him. Their powers weren't strong enough." His voice became deathly quiet. "I remember seeing Pedro running towards me. He wouldn't have made it in time...." He swallowed and was silent for a few moments. He lowered Pedro and hooked it back to his belt. His eyes were dark.

The reality of the decision hit her all at once. An act of self-preservation, which Blink now saw as a murder he was responsible for. "There's truth that on some level..." Hornet hoped her interpretation was right, and her next words would fit. "But you did not do it out of malice. It was your life or someone else's."

"And I chose mine." Blink had regained an emotionless mask. Did he really think that? Who knew. He didn't mention the amount of human shields he had used over the years. Most being before he had became part of the group. "We managed to buy enough time to grab Pedro and run, but it was too late. Silver Lily despised me after that. She left me, taking Fernando with her." He was quiet again, pausing to find a better way to explain what happened next. "You see- we may have stolen from some dangerous places. There were a few powerful people who were after us."

(Sneak peak...
Aka Lynx is bored and spoiling/revealing some stuff.)
The girl listened and watched the burst of blue light, rolling away from the destruction and dropping the bow she used to cause the malice. She stopped near the roof, breathing deeply, as she felt a cool feeling surround her body, and staring at the angry brunette feet away from her.
“We-“ The girl started, wincing at the pain that spoking caused, “We don’t need to fight, we can help you. But not if you-“
“Shut up!” The brunette hissed, rounding on the hooded girl, her brunette eyes alight with angry emotions. “I should have ended you a long time ago!”
“Wait!” The hooded girl yelped, standing up and backing up slightly. She lost count of the steps she had left until she fell from the large building.
“Stop!” A maiden of black hair and golden eyes demanded, glaring at the villain and then the hooded lady. “This won’t end up well for anyone!”
The brunette paused, her eyes wide as if seeing a ghost, and a grin lit her features. “Wrong. This won’t end up well for you.” And vines sprouted from the roof beside her, flying at the hooded girl.
The hooded girl backed up, fear in her eyes, and yelled as the roofing bellow her feet cracked, her body falling back and free falling through the sky.
....
“Goal accomplished, master.” A young creature spoke, eyes of red wide, “We have rid of one enemy. But I believe we can gain an ally in her steed.”
(I’m going to end that there :3.)

(Don't know if your last post changed anything. Is it still a go, Chaos?)
Rosie giggled a little, and grabbed his hand. "Don't you hear the alarms? Come on, silly!" She tried to pull Jerome along towards the sound of alarms. It was coming from a house just beyond the alley.

Bastet cringed at the sound of the alarms. Her blue eyes flickered to the halls of the mansion. She moved quickly, she had to find Rose quickly.

(Ah, sorry. Busy day. ^^)
"It's coming from that mansion over there!" Rosie rushed onto the lawn before the mansion. The wind moved behind them, hastening their speed. "Someone must have broken in! We have to make sure everyone inside is safe." It didn't occur to the girl that there was any other option to enter the house, other than through the front door.
