He chuckles, "ah, I'm not surprised. I keep to myself for the most part. The fame doesn't really appeal to me very much." He says, the expression on the man's face was telling. He believed that he was superior to Darrius, why he couldn't say. He'd seen a lot of expressions like that when he was playing music for a living. Ah well, best to let sleeping dogs lie. If he wants to believe that it's his right. "Well Sven, it's nice to meet you. You're from Sweden aren't you? I met a few people from there while I was a musician. Stockholm, right?"

The corner of Sven's mouth twitched slightly. "Yes although I haven't been home in... a long time. I'm suprised you can still tell." Sven hadn't spent any significant amount of time in Stockholm since he joined the SOG almost fourteen years ago. "From your interview I understand you're from Greece? It sounds like you didn't have an easy time growing up." Probe gently gain the target's trust...

"Most people wouldn't notice. It's a very slight accent. Also your name is Sven so chances are you come from somewhere in Scandinavia." His memory had always been beyond ordinary. It had to be if he was going to memorize entire songs and play them back. This eventually transferred to people as well. Their voices, their stories, and how they looked. "I'm also guessing you spent time with some kind of elite unit in the military right? You hold yourself differently than most military guys do. As for myself," He sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "I won't say I had it easy, no one does. But it made me into the man I am today so I'm not going to complain about it."

Sven nodded. "Impressive, yes the Special Operations Task Group or SOG I was a member for a number of years before I retired." He blinks and pauses for a second. "You are right it is our pasts that make us what we are..." Under his clothes his scars began to itch again. "Anyway how about you? I'm given to understand you are a skilled fighter, where did you train?" Fighting styles could be used as weaknesses they all had some kind of flaw no matter how skilled the practicioner.

"I had thought it was something like that. I've met people who've been Spetsnaz and Navy Seals. You all have that same stance, your eyes look for exits to a situation without meaning to. Right now I'm guessing you're thinking about how you would disable me if was hostile, am I right?" He asked with a knowing smile. "Its good to have someone like you on the team. As for my skills as a fighter, well I'm half self taught half taught by my mentor Francesca Ditore and her instructors. Primarily just krav maga. Living on the streets as a blind boy you learn to defend yourself or go hungry. Francesca simply built on that foundation."

Skulking around a main room of the mansion that connects to the kitchen, Ruby had been trying to entertain herself with the various features of the spacious room. From what little she heard of the conversation going on among the heroes in the kitchen, she had earlier decided that she wanted no part of the foolishness. Eventually, her boredom led her to create small contained explosions with her hands and play a game in which she tried to make as big of a blast as possible without damaging anything. She was pretty sure that none of them even knew that she was idly playing in the room next to them, due to the fact that the noisiness of their conversation likely covered the sounds of the quiet popping of her tiny sparks. She'd also left the lights of the room out in order to enjoy the flashing colors of the fireworks as they illuminated the large room. Despite the despondent expression that remained on her face, she was reasonably amused by her new idea. After the exiting events of yesterday it still seemed like a pretty boring way to pass the time. Everyone else only appeared to be socializing with one another, though, and she wasn't sure that joining in was the best idea.
As the red glow of the sparks in her hands below her illuminated her face, her mind began to drift to the last thing she'd done the night before. Despite not being aware of the conversation between Highlight and Matrix happening in another part of the mansion, she began to think of her own interaction with the girl. Matrix seemed to either refuse or misunderstand her apology, which was something that she couldn't help but become a bit pissed off about. She'd managed to keep from insulting Matrix any further before she disappeared, but seethed a little bit about it when she'd reached her bedroom after their conversation. She felt that she'd spilled her guts for nothing since Matrix seemed more or less ambivalent about her actual apology. The lack of success of her rare instance of social optimism made her feel reluctant to start trying it regularly. It'd be even worse if the cameras actually caught the moment after all. With a half-growl and half-pout, she suddenly put out the blazing in her hands as it eventually became boring and the thoughts became too aggravating.
She had finished turning on the room's lights when she heard Crescendo calling out from the doorway. Though he was in another room, the architecture of the mansion made them both visible to one another. After staring at him blankly for a few seconds, she took off in a sprint towards him. When she'd first made it inside the mansion, she thought that she would be satisfied with living inside of it as a hermit for the rest of her days, but her restlessness made going outside look like the best option after having been shut in for so long. Though she'd deny it if asked, she was also too used to doing business outside with adults to want to do anything in the city by herself.
"And where do you think you're going?" She asked the man with a snarl, as her run came to a halt in front of him. Her tone came out way more accusingly than her intentions needed it to. Her demeanor changed when she realized how it probably seemed. "I mean, I think I want to go somewhere too." She hoped he wouldn't ask why she wouldn't prefer to go by herself instead. She felt pretty neutrally about Crescendo thus far, as he'd managed to avoid pissing her off. She felt a bit awkward, but folded her arms to try to appear to be the dominant force in the interaction. "It's just too boring in here today." She said, casting a glance outside.
In all of her haste, she failed to realize that she'd interrupted a conversation that had already began between him and the shady hero who she hadn't actually laid eyes on before then. As she noticed his form behind her, she jumped and turned around before looking up at him with a defensive glare. "Now you finally decide to show up.." She growled angrily, masking a great deal of fear that she was containing. The sudden scare sent her heart through the roof.

"Hmmm yes it never really leaves you but then again you'd have had to have had poor trainers if it did. My training keeps me alive even now." Sven realises that Darrius might be reading him better then he's reading Darrius. "It's nothing personal just... you powerful and therefore a potential threat so yes my habits make me analyse you and come up with counter-plans." He lies. It wasn't training that made him do this it was knowledge of what this seemingly cheerful person in front of him could do. He nods. "Many soldiers look down on street-fighting but the core of fighting is protecting yourself while disabling your foe and street-fighting is just a less structured version of that." As Ruby enters his face loses what little warmth it had. She's unstable and powerful a major threat. "Yes. I was simply disinterested in the media. Unlike some."

He had been in the midst of a conversation when out of the blue he heard footsteps coming from the side. He glanced over and saw Ruby barreling down the hall towards him. She came to halt and demanded where he was going. His smile didn't falter, "Good morning to you too Ruby. I intend to go run a few errands in town. If you want to come with us by all means do so. It'll actually make things much easier if you come along." He listened for the sound of anyone else coming but didn't hear anything. "Alright then, I think that's everyone." He said before opening the door and walking outside, he noticed everyone else shield their eyes from the sun. He chuckled a bit, "so there is a benefit to being blind."

Finishing up his food Desmon pushes his chair back into the island man that was something out of this world, I'll have to make food for everyone maybe Sausage and eggs maybe bacon. Finishing up his tea Desmon walks over towards the sink and gently places the glass in the sink now that I'm finished up here time to make something for "fun". Walking back stairs looking towards the trio in the hallway; Ah my favorite fan Night walking back down stairs Des walks over towards a power outlet and transports to an outlet behind Night. He reappears putting his arm around Night "Hey buddy we haven't talked in awhile why the cold shoulder man?!" Asks Desmon sarcastically while having a shit-eating grin on his face.

Darrius steps to the side as he hears the sound of a grunt and something moving through air. Turns out he was smart to do so as Livewire goes careening through the spot he had previously occupied. "Now now gentleman please try not to kill each other. Hey Ruby, do you have any idea where a pawn shop could be? I have to pick up something for Alice."

Disappearing again before falling to the ground Livewire reappears in front of his best friend "Hey come on were buddies for life Sven what's happen to us?" Trying know to laugh as Desmon. Leaning against the wall Desmon looks at everyone "Soooooooo what are we talking about oh is it something exciting because right now I'm practically dying boredom here people." His voice with a quip of zeal.

Ruby flinched at the sudden appearance of Livewire. This was quickly becoming way too much of a crowd for her tastes. She watched the altercation between him and Sven in shocked silence, as the trip begin to seem like it would become a little more exiting than she originally thought it would be when Crescendo mentioned running errands.
Crescendo's voice snapped her out of her daze and she looked over at him with somewhat of a surprised expression. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed at him and her face changed to condescension. "I've been in this city, like, once before." She replied. "I'm not gonna be your travel guide today, sir."
Her face turned to Livewire when he asked his question, but her expression remained the same.

"Well, Tesla I take it? We're going to head out into town for a little while to get some fresh air. Tag along if you'd like but please try not to antagonize Ruby and Sven." After being snipped at by Ruby he nods and says, "Ah, you have my apologies then, ma'am. I had no way of knowing that you didn't know the city. I'll be sure to not make the same mistake again." He said in as respectful a way as possible. He wasn't about to be drawn into a confrontation with her being impolite. He turned to Sven, "That would be much appreciated. Please, lead the way."

Keeping his attention focussed on Livewire in case of any further... jokes. Night Terror led the way. "So I understand your power is sound-based?" He asked Darrius he already knew a decent amount but any extra details could help with counter-measures.

"You would be correct. Though I don't believe I will disclose the extent of that with you." He leaves it at that. He wasn't about to discuss that with someone like him. "Nothing personal you understand, but I'd rather have an ace up my sleeve if ever we have to spar. You already have an advantage with your combat experience and training. I want at least to have a chance against you in such an event."

Sven's eye twitches over so slightly. "Of course. You would have made a good soldier yourself I think." The target appeared friendly but was no fool, was it all an act to gain the other's trust and make them blind to the danger he posed? Maybe he deserved to be class-1 afterall...

Falling into step with Crescendo and Livewire as they made their way down the street behind Night Terror, Ruby's posture straightened noticeably upon being called "ma'am" by Crescendo. The boost to her ego caused her to begin considering him a bit more favorably, as he certainly seemed a lot more respectful the rest of the idiots following her around. Her demeanor changed into a renewed smugness at the prospect of being given such a mature title.
She gave Livewire a bit of a shifty side-glance before turning her eyes back ahead, sufficiently introducing herself to him for the first time. She didn't trust and was pretty afraid of Night Terror and was also a bit wary of Livewire due to his strange behavior from earlier, so she definitely would've preferred this mission to have been a duo. "Why the hell do we need to go to a pawn shop anyway?" She asked obnoxiously loudly to Crescendo, though she was looking at no one in particular.

He chuckled, "Perhaps, perhaps." He could practically see the gears turning in Sven's head. That man was contemplating a new threat assessment of him, he was sure of it. Military types like him were often the easiest to read. Especially the elite types, they always had that stern expression. Really gave away what they were thinking about, it would actually be much harder to imagine what he was thinking if he was relaxed. He didn't think anything of it. If the man wanted to be on edge, let him. His job was to protect people, not harm them. "Aha. I believe that's our destination. Oh and we're going here because I have to pick something up." He said pointing towards the sign he could sense says pawn on it.
He steps inside to the sound of a bell chime. "Hello! Hello! Please come in." Said a heavy set Italian man. "Let me know if you see anything you like." Darrius smiled and nodded, "We will." He said before examining the pieces they had on display. It took a moment before he landed on two items in particular. One was a long and incredibly sharp knife and the other was a semi clear black stone. "The knife and the stone. What can you tell me about them?"
The man raised his brow and brought the two items out so that Darrius could inspect them himself. Under the counter her took hold of a sawed of shotgun and kept it aimed at where Darrius' crotch is. "Ah that knife is one of them fancy German army knives, it can emit a micro laser that will instantly sharpen it. Guy came by a few years ago and dropped it off. The other one is what's known as an Apache Tear Stone. It's very rare." He nodded, "How much for both?" The fat man scratched his chin, "I'd say it's at least two thousand dollars for both." Darrius nodded again and pulled out his wallet, "So when do you think you'll be closing up shop?" He asked casually.
The man sputtered, "What do you mean I'll be closing up shop?" He shrugged and set the items down on the counter. "Well you're trying to swindle me for one and two is because you're aiming a weapon at my pelvis. That's not a good way to treat customers is it?" The man's eyes grew with panic then anger. "How..how did you know? Forget it just take them and go." Darriue shook his head, "Now that's not what I want to do. I want to pay for these at a realistic price and without the gun. Say three hundred?" The man could do nothing but nod, he let go of his shotgun below the counter. "Alright then, here you are my good man." Darrius said producing three one hundred dollar bills."
"Here you are Sven." He says handing the knife to him. "I thought I'd get everyone something today."

Sven almost smiled as Darrius turned the tables on the pawn-shop owner. Darrius had probably used his power but Sven had simply noticed the man reaching one hand under the counter and come to the correct concluion. The man should consider himself lucky Sven wouldn't have been so gentle. Sven's eyes widen when he first sees Darrius with the knife he tenses preparing for combat but the Darrius gives him the knife. "I, uh, ummmmm... thank you." Says Sven for the first time in a long-time suprised beyond words. What kind of idiot gave the man analysing for weaknesses a weapon? Was it some kind of ploy? "Maybe he just wants to you know be your friend?" Says Intel which Sven doesn't dignify with a response. Examining the knife he see's it's good quality sharper then the one back at the mansion. If he just switched the handle for the the trench-knife handle it'd be perfect and the laser would be superb to keep it in shape... Confused he makes to exit the shop saying "Well... thanks I need to go find a software engineer see you back at the house." He brushes past Ruby and Live-wire on his way out.

"Aw a rainbow fish would have hit the spot, though I prefer pizza." Jeremy says while faking a sad tone, he stretches and walks back to the center of the bed and curls up. Alex has a smile on his face as he grabs Alice by the hands, making sure his gloves were on properly first. "So I was right you can touch my creations, maybe I can make something for you so you can have your very own pet." He is happier then normal he feels like a genius finding the cure to a disease. "Have you ever painted before? Come on." He pulls Alice with him towards the wall, he has differing shades of orange laid out in front of him and he grabs a flat brush and gently places it in her right hand. "Oh right, I promised I'd record all the work I did on Selenia." He says as he turns the cameras on, zipping his jacket up and throwing the hood over his head he gives Alice another hug from behind. His right hand is interlocked with his once again, as he puts the brush in the bright orange and moves it to the center of Selenia's breast. "Now this is important, you can't use too much paint, and since the light source for this peace is straight ahead, the front and center of Selenia needs to be the brightest, while her sides and any part that's in shadow needs to be a darker shade." He moves her hand gently up and down the center of the bird, as he smiles and speaks positively to her. "That's it perfect, you've got a lot of potential. Nice even strokes, and remember not too much paint."
He stops talking for a bit moving her hand from the paint to the wall back and forth, his chin resting on her shoulder as his left arm is wrapped around her just above her hips. Things were going great until he felt his hands starting to shake, he lets go of her and excuses himself. "Great you're ready to be on your own, I got to run to the bathroom real fast one sec." He says with a hint of nervousness, he takes off and closes the door behind him, making sure there were no cameras he pulls his baggy out of his shoe. "Its been awhile since I had a hit its fine if I need a little pick me up." He rations to himself, everything makes sense. Until Jenny pops up. "Dude you've been doing so good. You don't need the coke right now. Maybe half a pill the rest you should dump man." She says her voice full of concern. Alex sighs and nods. "Yeah ok." He grabs the baggy of coke and dumps it into the toilet, he is full of immediate regret, but there is nothing that can be down now. He flushes the toilet, away it goes bag and all, he turns to the sink counter and takes one of the pills. Just the act of taking one is enough to make him feel better straight away, coke was easier to give up, he's gone months without it, the opiates however are a different story. In his heart he believes he will never be able to actually quit, but he needs everyone to think he did. Once they believe he's clean they will leave him alone, Sharna will take him back, and he won't blacklisted by all his old contacts.
He take the remaining pills and hides them again in his shoe, after a few minutes he washes his hands and exist the bathroom and looks at Alice's progress. "Hey you did good by yourself, but your grip is wrong." He goes back to the hug, taking the necessary precautions again, and he grabs her hand again fixing the way she holds the brush. "There you go Ladybug." He continues his hug while he whispers lightly, "When I complete art that is meant to come to life, I throw them a little party to meet our family, would you like to be at Selenia's birthday party, since you helped make her?" He ask Alice, with an excited look on his face.

Alice was happy that she couldn't give Rainbow Kitty dreams. She almost yelped aloud when Alex grabbed her hand but relaxed when she saw he was wearing gloves. As he taught her how to paint she found herself relaxing and leaning into the hug. She'd always been good at the arts though some of the pictures had made her family very worried. All of a sudden his hands started to shake on hers and he rushed off to the bathroom. Some of the people in the Home had been like that... maybe he was sick? She tried to keep going without deviating but got distracted by Harvey insisting she "give it tits" which she refused to do. When Colours comes back they keep painting and as he whispers in her ear she gets a slight, but not unpleasant, shiver. Colours had said he was her brother... is this what brothers and sisters did when they grew up? She'd remembered seeing something about that in one of Giggly's anime... "I would love to! Will Mr Fish and Rainbow Kitty be there? Will there be cake?"

"Come on Nightie the day is still here and were still in the city." Putting his arms around Night playfully "Everyone let's go out to out to grab a bite to eat!" Livewire is turns around to the other "Don't worry my treat!" He winks.

"Well of course Jeremy will be there, also Tahm he's my personal chef and the best in the world." He states happily as he rubs Alice's head like earlier this time with 100% less Harvey."Hmmm I don't know about cake lets ask Selenia." He says as he looks up and the partially painted bird. "What do you say Selenia? Are you a fan of cake?" He waits a moment as Selenia begins to move a bit, she stretches her wings while still trapped against the wall. She looks at Alice and smiles, well as good of a smile one can have with a beak.
"Thank you for painting me little one." She says kindly to Alice, her voice is that of a loving mother proud of her child. "I prefer Ice Cream to tell the truth Alex." She states as she yawns, returning back to a drawing on the wall. She is lifeless once again. Alex lets go of Alice and grabs a fresh canvas and an easel, he sets it up in the middle of the room. Yawning himself now he speaks up to Alice. "Ladybug we need to let the paint on Selenia dry, before we add too much." He says as he shuts off the cameras," But I have a fun idea for you if you want." He points at the canvas with a bunch of tubes of paint laid out on a desk next to it, there are freshly sharpened pencils for sketching are also present. A few cups of water are also there to wash off any of the brushes used. "Do whatever you want. Make anything your precious little heart desires." He says with a smile as he lays on the bed. He summons Marissa and has her float over to Alice. "Marissa here can help if you have any questions. I'm going to steal a nap since I've been up all morning. If you need me just wake me up its fine I won't get mad or anything." He yawns again stretching himself out on his bed knocking the bottles and cans on the floor. In an instant a small vacuum cleaner appears with the mouth of a shark at the end of the hose. "Eat up man." He says to the shark as it begins swallowing the cans and bottles whole. Once it finishes Alex sends it away with another yawn. A few moments later he falls asleep peacefully for the first time in awhile.

Alice smiles up at Radiant. "I like ice-cream too but it hurts my teeth so I prefer cake." As Alex cleans up she starts sketching Harvey who poses for her doing his best bicep flex. "Hey Ladybug would you rather if I was naked?" She blushes and ignores him. "So Mr Colours can make paintings real that gives me an idea..." "What idea Harvey?" "Never mind I need to think some more." Alice looked at him worried but decided to let it go.
As she started to colour him in with occasion encouragement and advice from Marissa, whom Alice had dubbed Queenie for obvious reasons, she found herself looking at Colours. He looked so young when he was asleep and his face was so cute... A wicked idea came to her and she giggled as she whispered it to Queenie. "Smashing idea this shall be a most enjoyable jest on young Master Alex indeed!" Queenie stage-whispered back to be shushed by an even gigglier Alice. Creeping over to his bed careful not to disturb him she began gently painting stripes on his face, like a tiger's but every colour of the rainbow. Alice had to bite her lip not to laugh too hard whereas Queenie was flying round-and-round the room to contain her mirth. "Hey you know what'd be even funnier Ladybug? Why don't you touch him and make him dream of me? That way I can prank him in his sleep!" Alice looked reproachfully at Harvey. He knew she wasn't supposeed to give anyone but the bad people dreams! "Alright Ladybug, alright it just a thought." Alice went back to painting Colour's face the tip of her tongue poking out the corner of her mouth as she focused on the multi-coloured stripes.

Ruby rolled her eyes as the crew followed Crescendo into the pawn shop, still unsure of what need the group of celebrities would have for a place like that when they could literally just ask for whatever they needed from the show's team. She resigned to the fact that Crescendo seemed adamant about it, though, and followed him in anyway. She bumped into Night Terror after jumping due to the sound of the bell that rung once they entered the store, but quickly hid her action by sending him an accusing stare that implied that he'd bumped into her instead. She was reasonably sure that no one had witnessed it, so she made no display of embarrassment. Her despondent gaze moved over to fall on the cashier when he welcomed the group into the store. Walking over to examine one of the more colorful shelves, she couldn't help but to laugh quietly at the man's goofy appearance. Though she didn't really care if he noticed her, she was still as subtle about it as possible.
Looking back over towards the counter, she noticed that Crescendo was talking to the man about what he appeared to have come in for. She looked at him incredulously as he spoke to the cashier about what appeared to be a rock and a knife. She kind of understood the knife part, considering she also carried around back up weapons for when her own powers failed, but she was totally lost on the stone part. Before she could hear the rest of their transaction, she decided that it was worth looking around for something that was actually cool.
While Crescendo confronted the cashier about his attempt to scam them, she was looking around at stuff that she considered useless at the back of the store. After noticing the others make their way out of the store after Crescendo had made his purchase, she jogged from the back of the shop to catch up with them outside. She'd made it just in time to see Crescendo hand the knife over to Night Terror and she was slightly confused by the gesture. She hadn't thought that the two had been getting along that well.
She had been impatiently looking around when Crescendo asked her his question. She looked up at him casually, understanding that everyone else was probably too old to keep up with the latest Mechips. Her look hinted at embarrassment when she remembered her own old, malfunctioned mechip that she'd left back at the mansion, though. At this point, she'd stopped relying on it so much that she no longer usually wore it. "Well, anythings' better than that piece of garbage that my parents bought for me.." She said, speaking harshly but not towards Crescendo. She folded her arms. "Um, anyway, you'd probably just wanna buy this year's model. It doesn't really have any special editions yet or anything." She thought that he was asking after a model to buy for himself, still not expecting the man to actually buy anything for her and especially nothing so expensive.

"Ah, thank you Ruby." He said as the group continued down the sidewalk, often getting odd looks from most people they walked past. They did make for quite a strange lot when he thought of it. Three men and a young girl just casually strolling down the street. Darrius could hear people whispering excitedly to one another as they went by. "Isn't that that young hero Ruby?!" Asked an older woman to her husband. "I think so, she's been in all those commercials for that new show. Wonder what she's doing those three." To which the woman glanced back towards them before responding to her husband. "I don't know, body guards maybe?"
Another couple, a young girl and her mother were walking past when the daughter, her eyes alight with the realization at who she was standing next to. "You're Ruby!" She exclaimed. "Mama, mama!
