Arien chuckled, and so did Holly, who teleported back, βHeβs clueless,β Holly added. She set to explain, βRomantic as in...wait Iβm not the right person to explain I donβt even understand romance or the appeal,β
Arien rolled his eyes at her, skeptically, βUh Huh. Sure.β He added a playful wink, then turned, βItβs when you love someone, in a not friendly-way, itβs not only attraction, but can include it,β He began, with an added and mumbled βwhatever attraction isβ, before he added, βYou like, wanna hug and like, I dunno, kiss someone. Thatβs how all the romance movies portray it,β he shrugged.
Robin was literally curled over, hysterical laughter echoing, βStop, Stop this is way too much.β
Enix gave a deadpanned look, despite her very red face, to her companions. ββ The girl looked confused, her hair was red, fading into a blonder color. βI-I-β her voice was wavering, she was afraid still. Her eyes were trained on the ground, or well, they would be if they worked. They seemed like a pale blue-green color, as she lifted her face, eyes wide. She had freckles adorning her features, yet looked about 17 years of age, and her hair was very long. A small bun was added with some portions of the hair, to the top of her ear, but the rest fell to her thighs, starting scarlet, fading into strawberry blond near the tips in an ombrΓ© effect. She looked frightened, but concerned, as her eyes, which had an aura of dullness, flickering downwards, then back to where she projected he should be, or well, his face should. But her unfocused gaze just rested on his stomachs instead, not that it mattered to her, she couldnβt see anything to be honest. But from the founds of it, this man just ate her attacker, which was all kinds of wrong and concerning, βDid...did you just kill that man?β She asked, voice still wavering, βI know he wasnβt good, but he was desperate, couldnβt you have, like, knocked him unconscious instead, turn him into the police? Itβs not very nice to go around killing people,β she felt herself blush at how dumb the comment sounded. Who could blame her though, she was never one for social interactions, people always pitied her for her blindness. She didnβt even know how her fellow creature looked, and she nervously tugged on one of her gloves as sheβs waited for a response.

Enix, is that what you want to do?" He turned to look at her, surprised at her expression. -- "Hey, you're one to talk. He might've killed you." He started, defensive. But realizing her comment was innocent, he sighed and retreated. "No, you're right. But it was the only thing I thought to do. Kill him to stop him killing you or me." The or me part was completely wrong, as the knife wouldn't have even broken skin. But he did care to protect her. "You're blind, aren't you? Can I walk you home?"

Holly chortled deeper, and Robin was with her, and Arien was barely holding in his laughter.
Enix went even redder, βIβm not your mother or father!β She huffed out, βand thatβs not how romance works, and...β oh her face was softening, how could she say no, when he thought it was something like family, not...romantic like it was. βI donβt romantically like you,β Holly gave her a skeptical look, βBut you are a friend of mine,β she added.
Holly scoffed, grinning, βYeah right,β She added. β Corona scoffed, βYou could have just, like, broke his arm. You seem nice, maybe you needed to kill him...?β She suggested, but her eyes widened at the βor meβ part, and she seemed to soften some. βWell, regardless, he sounded old, he probably would have died soon regardless, though if itβs not needed, please donβt kill again, unless you need to.β She had a theory in her mind that he needed to. Call it a hunch, and she sighed as he noticed her blindness. She really should have known it was coming, to be honest. And her defensive side shown, was he pitying her? βIβm fully capable of walking home by myself,β she assured, though she did seem lost as her head swung around, relying on her hearing. She sighed, βAre you hurt?β She said lamely, now admitting her lost issue to herself.

13 frowned. "Oh. Okay. Can we still hug?" His gaze went to the others, who were giggling. - He shook his head. "The knife he had cut me a bit. But I'll be fine. Come on, even if you know the way back, we don't want anyone like that attacking again." Perhaps it was his animal instincts, imprinting on her. Or he did feel pity. Or it was intuition. Either way, Carnal found himself caring that she get home safely.

Rosie hung onto every word. "Woah! That sounds so cool! Does that mean you guys were like... heroes?" she asked, looking up at Jerome's face. --- Ollie listened as the group began teasing Enix and 13. He was glad for the distraction from the earlier tenseness. Even Holly was back. This was how it was among friends. They always got back together. Even after things got tough. Whatever the strange aura comment had been must have something to do with their idea that he had lost memories. He slipped away from the group, and looked out over the damage that had been caused by the fight. The others were still in view, but their voices were just notes mixing in the wind. He had a somewhat troubled look on his face.

Corona rolled her blinded eyes, crossing her arms, βYeah, noβ she abruptly finished. βIf your hurt or cut, your going to the hospital.β She said, leaving no room for challenge. She already thought of him as a kind of friend, regardless of the more murderess side to him, but everyone had their reasons. She was sure. But she sighed, βIβll even come with you, and then call my family, okay?β She questioned, βAnd hey, if your worried about your hero form being revealed, you donβt have to worry about me, like, seeing you, β she joked slightly.
βββ Enix nodded, but a sly grin came to her face, βIf you want to know a real romantic couple, 13, just look at Arien and Holly,β
Said teens went red, and stopped laughing. And Robin went into a new round of laughter.

(Oh wow! Man. Well. I look forwards to see however it might turn out. :3) --- Blink's eyes narrowed. "I don't know... Though I'll have to make sure you can't harm anyone." As terrible as it sounded, would it be possible to sew the mark together? He had little experience in that area. Zed probably could, but he wouldn't get him and his engineering hands to do a sewing job unless it was last resort. He didn't know what else they could do... (( Will be busy this weekend! )) "Perhaps you could deface it? I don't know, a cut down the middle might stop it." She wiggled in her seat, trying in vain to get comfy.

(Okay. Hope you have a fun weekend!)
Waro narrowed his eyes. "Let me get this right, you want me to cut your face." It just might work. He could do it. In fact, he would do it if he had to. Even so, it was strange that she'd be the one to suggest such a thing.
(Just going to say. From now on, when he is unmasked, I am going to call him Waro. When he is masked, I will call him Blink.)

(Nope, work ;w; )
"I don't know! It might work." She said, exasperated. "If it's that or lose my mind to someone else-" She stopped suddenly, sitting stock still with her eyes staring off into space.

"Hornet?" Waro let only let a couple moments go by before suddenly jumping up, and lunging towards Hornet in an attempt to pin her down, chair and all. He should have known something would happen. If only he had done something sooner!

She struggled under him in something of a seizure, eyes rolling back and she strained to keep control. Hornet opened her mouth to speak, but no words left her lips.

"I'm worried about you seeing me." He whispered, mostly to himself. "But not for my identity being revealed." The man, just before he had died, had seen Carnal. And it was the same face he was used to- terror. He reached out and took Corona's hand. "I'm Carnal."

Waro struggled to hold her still, as he lifted his staff, Fernando in it's shrunken form. A blade suddenly slid out one end, and Waro put a hand down on her face to keep her head still. Of course, he left her nose uncovered so she could breath. Gritting his teeth, he brought the blade down in attempt to shallowly slash over her mark.

She screamed through his hand, finally gaining motion to her own body the moment the symbol was defaced. Hornet's eyes teared up as she stared up at him.

Holly blanched, glaring at Enix.
Arien laughed, turning to Holly and winking, βYeah we could.β He said, before laughing more.
Holly sighed, βYou get anywhere near me, Arien, and I will personally curse you,β She said, eyes narrowing, βMaybe you could demonstrate for us, Enix.β
Enix smirked, turning to Arien, which Holly wasnβt expecting, βYeah,β She said, βWant to demonstrate for them?β
Hollyβs eye immediately twitched.
ββ Corona flinched, taking her hand to her chest, eyes wide, βSorry!β She laughed nervously, βJust, donβt touch me, okay?β She really didnβt want another issue where she started sensing the world through someone elseβs mind, or reading their mind. Hence her gloves. βMy nameβs Corona,β she explained, still keeping her hands sheltered.

13 raised a hand. "I vote we just all try, all at once. That way no one is left out."

He retreated a step. "Sorry. Let's just.. get going, okay? Follow me?" Carnal began.

Waro's eyes were ice-cold, as he stared at Hornet. As he stared at her tears. He removed his hand from her face, and got to his feet. He turned away and wiped the blade on a cloth on the counter, and let it slide back into the staff. After hooking Fernando back on his belt, he spoke, "Whoever they are, they better not try again." He didn't dare look back at Hornet.

(Iβm actually laughing so hard!)
Robinβs laughs had calmed, but at 13βs comment she wheezed as new laughs wracked her body.
Holly backed up, βOkay then, no.β She said, βnope. Never. Polygamy is not my thing.β
Enix shrugged, βYour loss,β before approaching Arien, who looked, for lack of better words, confused.
Holly turned, eyes twitching, β13, do not get involved,β she warned, before she teleported in front of Arien. Crossing her arms as she glared at Enix, βNo one is demonstrating anything!β
Enix laughed more, and Holly sighed, deeply as she contemplated her friends. βLove is when you canβt stand not being around someone! When you would die to protect them. When being away from them hurts, more than anything, thatβs any kind of love, family, platonic, romantic.β She started, βItβs what I feel for everyone here, I would die, have died for you guys before. Iβll do it again,β
Enix stopped, sobering slightly, as she gave a doe-eyed look to Holly, similar to Arienβs. Holly then smiled softly, βAnd I guess romantic love is when you find someone you want to be with, forever, someone you canβt stand seeing around someone else. I guess itβs similar, but instead of dying to protect them, you want to live to be beside them.β She said, softly smirking, βAnd even if Iβve never felt it, itβs what I see when Enix looks at you, 13.β
Enix yelled at Holly very loudly, causing Robin to once again laugh.
β Corona nodded, depending on her hearing as she did follow him.

13 smiled brightly. "That's so wonderful. I... I feel the same, Enix." Then he looked at all of them. "Thank you guys. I think I learned a lot."
--
Carnal suspected this, and so he kept talking. "So hey. Why's your hair so long?"

The laughter and the yelling brought Ollie's attention back to the group, and he decided to meander back towards them. He cast one last glance at the wreckage, before turning his back on it.

He didn't dare look back at Hornet. She sniffed as she felt the wound, covering it so it wouldnt bleed all over. But the fear wasn't from the cutting, no- it was as she felt her control slipping. "T-Thank you." Hornet whimpered.

Holly continued laughing as Enix started going red all over again, but her eyes saddened as she saw Ollie, and past him, the wreckage....she did that. Didnβt she?
Not anymore. She pulled something off from around her neck the black crystal always belonged to Arcana, but...closing her eyes she attempted to transform into her hero identity, but it failed. She suspected such, it seemed her powers shifted with the eclipse. Without the ability to transform, Arcana was...gone. Turning her gaze to Arien, she remembered when she gave him the yellow crystal as Arcana. Smiling then, Holly walked to him, placing the crystal into his palm, βWithout her, there isnβt any reason for me to have it,β she murmured, but her confidence had seemed to leave, βIts dangerous if I have it,β
βHolly-β Arien began, reluctant to accept it, but Holly was back to teasing Enix again. β Corona shrugged, βNo reason to cut it, I canβt see it, I donβt really care how it looks? I donβt have anyone I want to impress,β she shrugged.

Waro didn't reply. He simply stood with his back to Hornet, his icy eyes staring at seemingly nothing.
Zed burst in through another door, though it wasn't the same door he had originally exited. "Wow! Now that was some intense stuff. It is safe now, right?" He paused, looking at Hornet, then glancing at Waro, who was glaring at him. "I'll take that as a yes." He strode over to Hornet and held up a medical kit. "How about we patch up that wound there." He opened the kit. "It's not dark outside anymore, so you'll be able to head out any time you like. Too bad really. I kind of liked it dark."

13 reached out and took Enix's hand. "Come on guys- back home, before authorities arrive. Dont wanna get blamed."
"I'd not meant that. It... looks nice." He said softly, ignoring the horrified scream of some woman from way down the street.

Hornet bit her lip. So the darkness was gone. But she still felt unsafe. "If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to stay. I'll make myself useful, I promise."

Zed looked thoughtful, as he proceeded bandage Hornet's forehead. It was a rough job of a bandage, but it would be able to fulfill it's purpose. "You promise not to attack me out of the blue?" he teased. "What can you do?"

"I can protect people. I'm also good with cooking." She offered up, flinching at the bandaging. "And better at bandaging than you are."

Zed perked. "Cooking! Now good cooking is something I've neglected for ages! I've been having packaged dinners for years!" He held up his hands at the bandaging comment. "Hey! You can't kill a man for trying, eh? They might not be pretty, but my medical skills have worked on him," he motioned to Waro. "Sure I did a lot of last minute research, but I got the job done."
Waro glared at them, and walked away. He went into the room he had been in before. Grabbing some supplies, he came back out into the main room and found a seat. Once comfortable, he began to clean his weapons.
