She looked from the scary man to Benjamin. The Krimzon Guard had noticed him already. He seemed to be indecisive for a moment, but finally the hellcat lurched forward and zoomed past the guy. Noel wondered what that had been about. She didn’t ask, though. She just sat there quietly until Benjamin spoke again.
Of course she had no money. And she simply shivered at the thought of adoption. That was the reason she’d run from home; she knew the local court had wanted to dump her into he nearest orphanage. No way in hell was she gonna do that – especially with her… secrets. Ellie looked over the edge of the hellcat, frowning. They were moving so slow. And so close to the ground.
“I don’t like flying like this,” she blurted before she could stop herself. One filthy hand flew up to cover her mouth. Crap. ‘Like this?’ She seriously considered stitching her mouth shut. You’re gonna blow it, Ellie, she warned herself.

A challenged grin appeared on Benjamin's face "You think thats all i got?. Ill show ya, todays kids... Tisk tisk" His right hand pushed a lever and the hellcat took a boost into the sky, the engine working at 3/4 its full speed. The wind was torn by the aerodynamic design as they flew past the various parts of the city all images turned into striped of colors as he went even higher and faster. Taking a sharp turn in the sky Benjamin maneuvered the hellcat with ease as the G forces gone loose they began plummeting than resumed their horizontal flight. "By that look on your face it seems none of the options suite you..." In his mind he began scratching the possibilities one by one... Reaching the only final solution Benjamin decided postpone it only to when all other choices are declined
Carrying his catch of the day into an abandoned house he marked earlier DB began preparing his meal, his mind full of ideas on how to infiltrate Benjamin's apartment[/color]

She was hugely relieved when he misunderstood her words. Ellie glanced at him out of the corners of her eyes, watching his smug grin suspiciously. But when the hellcat suddenly jumped up into the sky at an abrupt speed, something that sounded strangely like laughter bubbled out of her. Benjamin had actually made her laugh! Holy crap.
When she turned to look at him, she was smiling. It was a small smile, but it was warm. But then he brought up her options and such again, and that little grin disappeared. It was quiet for a moment.
“Where are we going?” She wondered aloud, looking away, at the storefronts and whatnot that passed by.

"To tell you the truth, i was wondering that as-well" Benjamin stared at the ceiling for a second than turned to noel "Just kidding, first we are going to the better side of town, and it is close enough to KG HQ for it to be pretty much safe...". It took no more than a minute before the hellcat softly landed onto the asphalt before a small snow-white building, with small shining windows and a wooden door. The glass retracted back into the vehicle and the seat belts released automatically. Hopping out Benjamin gestured toward the door "This is my humble abode. Now, i could supply you with food a roof and a place to live until we can find you an apartment, as its my duty as a KG to insure no citizen is left alone". Ben said with the tiny bit of grief in his voice, as he remembered DB's words... An Innocent boy left alone in the streets of haven became a mass murderer simply to survive. Walking in and opening the door Benjamin Continued talking by the way "So, you could come here as much as you like as many times as you like until you are old enough to get your own job, and maybe rent the house next door." Benjamin gave a small chuckle "You may leave at the time of your choosing. But common, give it a chance"
The door softly creaked as it opened, it was a modest house with walls made of concrete. The door led to the living room, taking about half the houses size, it had 2 couches, a TV and a dark brown wooden table loaded with papers, KG related letters and some drawings Benjamin made when he had some free time. The house seemed to be well taken care of, from the living room stretched three doors, the right one leading to the bedroom which contained one couple sized bed a pillow and some blankets. The left door lead to the bathroom and shower. And the door right in-front of the entrance door lead to the second large room in the house which was of course the kitchen, it was sort of a modern kitchen with all kind of metallic cooking devices and sharpened knives for every purpose, as well as pots and skillets

She actually had noticed that the decency of the buildings had improved as they rushed through the city. But when Benjamin parked the hellcat in front of a clean white building, she’d given him a look of pure curiosity.
And when he answered her unspoken thought, Noel was surprised that he would offer such a thing. How could she trust this man? He worked for that… that bastard Erol. But perhaps they weren’t all bad. Yes, the Guards inside the prison were mean and crude, but Benjamin was different. Ellie could see the generosity in him, as well as concern and – ha! Gentle Ben! She had already considered the possibility that he had been assigned to trick her into thinking she could trust him only to bring her back to the fortress. But she quickly denied that thought. Benjamin – the name was so formal. Perhaps ‘Benny’ would an applicable nickname – was definitely not a fraud; he was offering her food and shelter. She wondered vaguely if anybody had really been alerted of her escape at all.
Noel bit her lip, looking at Benny, then the door. After a quick debate, she nodded and followed him inside. How bad could it be? Once inside, she found the house was actually pretty nice. Bare and basic, but nice. Cozy, even.
Without any warning, she suddenly spun around and hugged Benny. “Thank you,” she sighed, resting her cheek on the cool metal of his armor.

Raven got up and began to walk away. She was tired and she wanted to know if Jace was okay. All of a sudden Jace ran right into her. She looked at him with her eyebrow arched, "In a hurry?"
"I needed to find you...I wasn't sure where you had went...one minute you were beside me then you were gone." He answered his green eyes exhausted. The purple under them worried Raven
"Well you found me...and I just needed to take a walk. What did you do after you found out I was gone?" She asked still examining her slightly older brother.
Jace's eyes widened and he looked down, "Oh nothing..." he answered not wanting to mention the "fight" he had gotten in...or the deal that he had made.
Raven looked at him suspiciously. Jace was hiding something from her and she knew it, "Really? Then what took you so long to come and find me?" She asked wanting answers.
"It wasn't easy...it's really crowded ya'know." He said still looking down.

Benjamin was first overcome with surprised which instantly turned into relief and happiness "Your welcome" He assured as he embraced Noel softly. Suddenly an unpleasant loud ring broke the silence, which seemed to originate off Benjy's communicator. "Ben, theres some serious riot going on at your patrol zone coordinates 75,49 You better report there quickly. Ive been receiving so many calls, Its like 23 monkeys having an excrement war in the server room" A hoarse voice announced, it was dean from HQ. Benjamin's right hand unwillingly let go and reach back into his pocket, pulling out the receiver and placed it next to his ear "Sorry dean, i abandoned my patrol. But I'm sure another officer would be glad to help you with your monkey feces...". Shutting down the communicator he cast it aside onto the sofa and two words escaped his mouth "Welcome home" He smiled before glancing over to the kitchen Hmm... Its just around lunch time, Ill should see what I'm able to improvise... I'm cooking for two now
DB took out the groceries out of the bag, examining his loot. The first thing that caught his eye was a stack of frozen steaks. "Finally someone who buys all the right thing" DB sighed, taking out some spices and placing them on his shelves "Hmm.... Useless vegetables" He mumbled as he cast aside a brown bag to place in the food storage at his HQ. Suddenly as DB began frying the chips and thawing the steak he spotted a very unusual sight out the window "What the...?"
Johns every step made the asphalt beneath him crumble even more, the enormous beast towered over jace "Show some manners human scum!. So what?, your sister is gone so the big metal head is to blame?!" His cracked, ow toned voice threatened before unleashing a hair raising roar that broke the awkward silence. Johns completely yellow eyes inspected the man and his sister for 5 seconds before he flung his right claw back-wards to create momentum for his upcoming strike than his scythe-blade-like hand came down from above jace with great force.
"Just need to ask you one question before you go claim yourself some drawers and what not" Benjamin pretended to be serious for half a second "What would you like to eat? you must be starving... Yes, I know you teenagers are very picky about your food, you don't like anything that ain't deeply fried or made of chocolate... Or thats just me..." He joked "... So, what would ya like?" Benjamin asked, raising his right eyebrow.

Ellie grinned, sighing again. It felt so nice to be able to talk to someone without having to deal with all the nastiness and what not. She was actually starting to like Benny. He was nice.
Then suddenly his radio communicator buzzed and she could hear a voice. It told of troubles some place in the city. She looked up at him, a question mark plain on her face. She couldn’t help but giggle quietly at Ben(JAH!!)’s response, despite the guilt she felt for pulling him from his job. She knew that she couldn’t distract him too much or his colleagues would get suspicious. No one could know where she was.
Her mind vaguely wandered to the girl that she had seen earlier in the Slums. She had just seemed so depressed. Noel shrugged the thought off. It wasn’t her problem to worry about, whatever it was.
She smiled again when he welcomed her home.
Home. Finally…
And then her spirits lifted when he offered her food. Yayyy food! She had one thing on her mind that sounded good. Ellie stepped out of the embrace, then looked up at him and said, “A grilled-cheese sandwhich sounds just lovely." Yes, a grilled-cheese sandwhich. Not quite so original, but it was homey. Ah, cheese. She sighed.
Noel looked down at herself. She was filthy, her clothes stained with blood and God knew what else. She felt all gross and nasty. "Would it be okay if I took a shower while you're cooking?" She asked sheepishly. She didn't want to seem sloppy or anything.

"Of course its okey!, even recommended. What a silly question to ask" Benjamin Threw in a gracious smile as he spoke "One grilled-cheese-sandwich coming up!..." Bennjah than scurried over to the kitchen, where he paused and rested his head onto his right hand, wondering. "How do i go about making one of those..." He turned to the refrigerator and took out some slices of the secret ingredient ....Cheese and lay it on the counter before slicing up 8 moderate sized pieces of bread, slightly less than 1 inch thick.
He than lay 2-4 pieces of cheese on-top of every other slice of bread and covered it with its matching slice, transforming it into 4 humble sandwiches his eyes wandered first to the right, to the toaster and than to the left at the skillets... "Now's the tricky part" Common... You can cook The most complex things found on any cook-book but you cant decide how to cook your cheese sandwich?... He teased himself. I wish i had one of those fancy Sheff's hat... Its some powerful voodoo that stuff, you wear it on and you become a Sheff in an instant, making cram bruley and other foods Ive never heard of... plus, its puffy His mind wandered off track as he imagined what kind of texture each way of cooking would give the dish. "Well, you never know..." He mumbled to himself deciding to make it both ways. Benjah than arranged 2 sandwiches to the right and 2 to the left, lighting up the gas and plugging in the toast when he suddenly realized If she's gonna take a shower i should get her clothes to change to... Well, ill just make these things real quick first Pouring some oil on the cast iron skillet he placed it on the lit gas on the stove than lay two toasts onto it before laying the other two within the toaster. He than slowly began looking for a spatula, enjoying the sound of the oil sizzling.
"There ya are" He declared as he took the spatula out of the large drawer. Watching as the bread crisps and the cheese slowly melt and take a slightly darker shade he flipped the sandwiches upside down. Now all we got to do is wait He thought as he took out tables knives forks and cups and began setting up the table.
Once done Benjamin hurried up and placed the toasts/fried sandwiches on the plates. So that in each plate there was one toasted sandwich and one which he cooked on the skillet. "I'm sure i forgot something..." He wondered, giving himself a slow faceplam. Oh right... "The robe is on the hanger by the door" He yelled out across the house as he entered the bedroom, scavenging the drawers for any sort of cloth to fit noel.
Kal's wooden stick make a hollow sound as it banged over the asphalt again and again, not helping support kal who quite frankly did not require a cane. "So that's why the square root of pie... Is flour" He mumbled as his eyes searched his surroundings for anything interesting. a breeze fondled his relatively long brown hair as his left hand raised to pet his beard "So truth is a very very relative thing you see?... Cause a mad man is really a squirrel. If he says his not, than he's lying" he kept mumbling "And the cookie is more powerful than TNT". Suddenly a loud ferocious rawer took hold of his complete attention as he sneaked he witness the monstrosity that is John from around the corner "Hmm... Interesting, I believe it must involve some kind of bio-genetically research this, this... Yeah..." He agreed with himself "But i do believe that this kind of experiment is completely unsafe..." He kept mumbling.

Within a couple minutes, she had gotten the water running and disposed of her filthy clothes in the trashcan. With a long, thankful sigh, she stepped under the hot water. For several minutes Ellie just stood there, watching the filth run off her body and down the drain. She could just barely hear Benny’s self-mumblings, and the homey sounds of kitchenware clanking against one another. The smell of toasted bread and cheese drifted through the rooms not to long after. Whoo!
She hurried and rinsed the soap out of her hair. It was then that she heard Benny’s shout, telling her where the robe was. A robe? She glanced around the curtains, and just as he’d said, there was a big, long cotton bathrobe hanging from the hook near the door. Ellie laughed quietly, picturing herself in it. Then she resumed her shower and finished cleansing herself before shutting the water off. Noel stepped out of the shower, about to grab a towel when the mirror caught her eye. A girl, looking pale and gaunt, stood not five feet away. Her eyes were of a dull, pale blue, her hair slicked back from water, but already slightly curling. Her face was insipid, and nearly skeletal. Ellie stepped backward, shocked. Was that really her? Where had her ever-present blush gone? Why did she seem so lifeless?
She shuddered, not wanting to look at her reflection anymore. She pulled the towel off the rack and dried off before covering herself with the robe. It pretty much drowned her in cotton, pooling at her feet on the floor. Noel closed it securely, being sure it wouldn’t fall open at an oh-so inconvenient timing.
After rummaging in the bathroom supplies, she found an unused toothbrush still in its package. After brushing her teeth, she set the brush apart from Benny’s things and rinsed her mouth out. Ah, cleanliness…
She finally left the bathroom, wondering if she shouldn’t have just kept her dirty clothes. The first place she looked was the kitchen, where she saw four grilled-cheese sandwiches on plates on the table. "Yuss... food," she bit her lip, smiling. She guessed two of those were for her. But where was Benny? She'd wait for him before she started eating, no matter how loud her stomach protested. Ellie looked in the living room, but didn’t see him. She eventually found him in one of the rooms, looking through a dresser.
