Apotheosis found a good spot a good ways away, where they could sit on full patches of grass. The twins hopped down from his shoulders and took seats to the left and right, leaving room for her to make a diamond shape.

Charlotte winced at the thought. "After I was caught, the Russians starved me for about a week, worst week of my life. Once I was weak enough to not put up much fight, I think it was someone that was a mental fighter that drove her off. House arrest for the first few weeks, and then was monitored for months afterwards because I was too unpredictable," She shrugged. "My explosive anger didn't help."

Mark nodded. "I was out celebrating the turn of my first century. Gotten used to the comings and goings of how social life was in the vampire world. I took about a month off from my job. My friend, the CEO who I still work for, owed me a life debt, so a month was nothing. Packed my bags and headed to the beach. Learned how to surf, how to sail a boat, how to fish. So after a few days, I took my boat out and let the sea take me wherever. It was starry, the moon was out, and everything was peaceful. Nothing to worry me, nothing to stress me out."

(lame, I wanna read some of App's.)

"That does sound interesting." App said. The twins nodded in agreement, their full attention on Helen now.

(TS 100 years go get fucked jk)
"That's so cool," Gabby mumbled.

"Well I'll help if it does. Promise."

"See my power works by..me imagining something in my head and then poof, I'm gone and in that place. It gets more complex when I'm trying to get where a person is but usually I can manage. Anyways. One night I was reading about the history of the Grand Canyon. I love geographical wonders like craters and canyons and river basins and," at this point her eyes were sparkling with wonder but she found her way back. "Anyways, I was reading about and I couldn't stop thinking how much I just wanted to see it. I could see it in my mind's eye and then, like the snap of a finger, I was about 20,000 feet in the air, looking down at the Grand Canyon and falling very quickly."

( Get rekt, Mordred )

Mark shook his head a few times. "I was lost at sea for a few weeks before I even saw a speck of land. By the time I docked, a month passed." He grinned. "I told myself then that the next time I do something crazy again, it'll be with my soul bond."

Charlotte grinned at him. "Let's hope it doesn't. I don't want to mess up what we have."

"How old were you at this time?" Apotheosis asked.

Helen thought for a moment. "I was nearing my third century," She answered.

"Why ever would I do that?" Mordred asked quietly.

Gabby reached up and kissed him.

Charlotte shrugged. "I dunno, I'm used to people seeing me that way." She trailed off into silence.

Mark gently kissed her back.

Apotheosis nodded, listening. The twins both looked at App for a moment when she mentioned the surviving naturally, but quickly returned to her story.

Twiska looked at Reyes "What is your deal with Hybren?"

"I trusted him." Reyes said quietly

"Yeah, so did I but he turned out to be a traitor" Twiska said sighing "Piece of crap..."

Reyes looked out and said "That's not it, I trusted him. I believed that he was a great guy. I sang his praises. Heck, I stood up to Mordred who could kill me in five minutes, if he was feeling generous, for bad mouthing him." He looked out "Then it turns out he's a slimeball and everything he said was true." He looked out "I should have saw the signs. When you guys took me in, after the Starlight Clan didn't work out, I swore that this time I was going to be loyal. This time things are going to change. Turns out he's a slimeball and I'm to weak to stop him"

Twiska said "Enough" She placed her hand on his shoulder "Mark, Gabby, and I couldn't be prouder of you. You've grown so much, so what if you don't have your powers, you're so much stronger than you were back than. I am as well...Alice wouldn't have included you in her plan if she didn't think you could handle it."

"But Hybren..." Reyes looked out "Hybren has to pay"

"And if we work together he will" Twiska brought up "Don't forget there's 12 of us and his cronies are just that...cronies. Don't forget that we're a team Reyes, and no one should underestimate the power of a team" She kissed his cheek and got up walking off.

"People shouldn't underestimate the power of one as well" Reyes mumbled quietly to himself.

"Indeed." Apotheosis said, listening.
