As she sat there on the bench Anya kept staring down at her unfinished ice cream. When Nik put an arm around her, she blinked in mild surprise but figured at first that he was trying to comfort her in his own way. She finally looked back at him when he raised her face up by her chin. The next part, Nik actually kissing her, was something she really didn't expect at all. It startled her, causing her to tense up because she hadn't expected it to happen. Blinking once or twice in surprise, Anya didn't know what to do at first. Then, even to her own surprise, she didn't feel the urge to pull away like she normally would had it been anyone else. Then again, the only other person who had kissed her in the recent past had been Will, and that was an entirely different story as she despised the Satan Owl. But Nik was different. He was actually truly nice to her. As such, Anya did not try to pull away from Nik. Instead, she closed her eyes and stayed where she was at the moment, not really wanting to ruin it. Out of embarrassment, Anya couldn't help the fact that she started to blush a little bit. She hadn't been able to quite tell, until just now, whether or not Nik really liked her that much considering how often she yelled at him or hit him over the head or something along those lines. Anya leaned back slowly, breaking the kiss with Nik. Of course, she was still blushing because she couldn't really help it. "What the hell was that for?" she asked quietly.
===
"Well, I haven't exactly been out of my room for the past few weeks, so...I don't remember meeting any new members..." Erin replied, letting her voice drift off at the end of her sentence with a sheepish smile in Viktor's direction. With a light sigh, the artistic owl gave Viktor a small smile. "Anyway, in answer to your original question: I'd love to go sightseeing. I've never been Rome or Italy until now." She could tell that Viktor seemed nervous around her. She wasn't sure whether it was because he was new and didn't know her all that well, or if it was because of the way her eyes looked. The thought about her eyes reminded Erin that she was in this particular store to buy a pair of sunglasses. "Just one minute. I have to pay for these glasses first." she told Viktor before turning to the store clerk at his counter and paid for the sunglasses. When she had done this, Erin turned back to Viktor. "Alright. Now I'm ready." she stated with a small smile as she put the glasses on.

((TFP---Raven))
“Is that so?” Raven muttered with slight boredom. He wasn’t exactly in her good books completely, merely lingering on the edge of a page. She nodded when he mentioned his wife. “Yes you did tell me about her…” As she spoke she heard the footsteps of someone approaching from behind. Raven turned in time to see Evelynne Vailli, the Omnipath. Raven listened in polite silence as Evalynne explained her power somewhat. Of course, Raven did not expect a show from this woman as her description of what it was she could do was more than enough for Raven to understand. “I am sure there will come a time when you can show me what it is you can do.” Raven said in a business type manner. ”Your husband here has told me that you wish to aid me in my cause. I am grateful for the extra support that the pair of you shall provide.”
Raven glanced down at her watch before facing Sebastian. “My team are getting some much needed R & R, as I am sure that you are aware we have been very busy of late and even they need a time out to recuperate their strength.” She looked around the area they were currently standing and smiled “I have nothing planned for this day, besides going through some personal thoughts and plans.” She said while smoothing out her dress and hair. “I am sure you can meet the rest of my team soon. In fact, we are staying at Isa hotel. It is not too far from here.” She looked from Evalynne to Sebastian, searching them secretly for anything that may collide with what Sebastian had said they wanted from her. “What of you two? Is there anything else you wish to hear from me?”

Viktor Z. Temnota - The Bio-Hazard Owl - T.N.O Viktor nodded as he waited for her to pay . She seemed friendly enough, a good start in Viktor's integration to the group. He felt alittle more confident by this, but not by a huge margin. He put up his pure white hood as he prepared to shove off. Once that was said and done Viktor gave the indication her to follow his lead, a simple jerk of the head in the general direction to which he was walking. It was still difficult for him to speak and so he though it better to use body language, something he was familiar with. He had been in several situations where that's all he could rely on. This city seemed to be a bustling and over complex hive of activity. Viktor had never been to a city so huge, so grand, even though some are far better, or worse than this. It overwhelmed his senses as he walked the streets. He turned to Erin, "So, wait, you haven't been out of you're room for all this time? How come?" He asked curiously, and to avoid an awkward silence. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kojiro kept his eyes glued to the amazing buildings, "So amazing...they really worked hard to keep them preserved..." he thought to himself, suddenly a startled meow came up from his pocket, He looked down and saw his pocket shuffling again, he accidentally placed his phone in the same pocket as Rikka was. Kojiro pulled it out, however Rikka seemed to be pulling back, now fully interested in the strange device. Kojiro lifted the phone higher and the kitten lost grip and fell back into his pocket.Kojiro looked at his phone and smiled,"...I guess Serena ok now" he thought with some relief. He looked at the text,"...I am a little hungry..." Kojiro figured, he knew it would be a good outing, Europe was at peace, and humans and Owls got along well here, perhaps no action was to be taken...after all nobody was being oppressed, he looked around to figure out his surroundings, but he didn't know where he was though. Kojiro looked around and saw a small shop,"....Dominico's" Kojiro began typing on his small phone.
"I am by a shop called Dominico's...the address is-"
"Eh?" Kojiro was silent, with an almost panicked smile, he was now staring at a black screen. A smart as he was....he didn't charge his phone. Kojiro looked around again, suddenly the place looked much more foreign.

Lorna had just about given up on looking for Soliel. The man could be impossible to locate when he wanted to be and with many Owls and Humans in the city, it was hard to locate just one. She was picking up energies from many different Owls that it was giving her a slight head-ache. Finally in the midst of the hustle and bustle, her silver eyes laid upon both a familiar and unfamiliar sight. The familiar sight was her leader, Raven who appeared to be conversing no...in a rather important meeting with two unfamiliar beings. Lorna approached closer. By their energy signatures, it seemed that they were Owls. The Polaris Owl narrowed her eyes. Her feet moved her, one in front of the other and soon she found herself standing next to Raven and smiling cheerfully. "I guess everyone is joining their rest and relaxation in their own way," she said before she fell serious as she nodded towards the two Owls who were across from Raven. "Who are they?" she asked with a minor curiosity. "What do they want?" She had just approached so she had not heard anything that had been said. She hoped Raven would not turn her away. Part of her had approached out of curiosity, another out of boredom, and another was because she didn't fully trust these two.

Che listened to Kate explain her plans for the day and smirked until she spoke of leaving. Beneath his breath, he mused a few curses in his native language. For a moment, he lingered in conversational limbo, then finally sighed showing slight disapproval. "Eh, Kate. You know I don't care where you go, but why leave now? I'd at least think that dodging explosions, fighting Heralds and saving my somewhat irresponsible children would be fun by now. And no, I'm not being sarcastic."
Releasing the somber lady, Che floated around her body much like how a loose sheet of paper would in a breeze. Grinning like a Cheshire cat, he continued, "If you go, make sure they don't learn that you're an Owl. The humans in Russia will shoot you dead if they learned of it." The Italian knew better than to give Kate advice on safety because by now, a snarky remark would normally follow. This time, even through his smile, seriousness came through. If he were to take her job, then he hoped she be alive longer. Che still was a rather lazy man.
~~~
"Don't know who they are, but they seem rather familiar...also, good evening to you Lorna. Did you enjoy your sleep?" Soliel's body formed at the side of Lorna's in a thick torrent of magma. Luckily, no one saw the display. First his black shoes formed. They had no shoelaces, but instead, they conformed to the wearer's foot. Second was his dark grey pants which seemed to be crochet. His white shirt and his grey overcoat were the last to form. His watch melted, but the TFP member didn't care. To be wearing such a suit was nice enough. After walking toward the trio, Soliel looked at Raven making sure that she was alright. She was. "Who are your friends Shockwave? They seem...interesting enough."

Nikolai smiled lightly when Anya pulled away and asked why he kissed her. He chuckled lightly and replied, "For? I thought it was fairly obvious..." The blush on her cheeks made Nik smile, he had never seen Anya's face that pink before. He moved back a little, his arm still around her and asked, "I know you think I'm an idiot, but you didn't really think I'd be following you around for absolutely no reason at all? Even I'm not that stupid." Nik continued to smile lightly at Anya. He could tell Anya wasn't angry at him, and he was glad. He had been waiting for that moment for the past year and a half. He didn't care that Anya yelled at him, hit him over the head, or even complained about is behavior, if he cared, he would have left a long time ago. He broke the silence and asked, "Has your mood improved now?" Nik asked inquisitively, just once he'd like to see Anya genuinely smile.

The three weeks had been rather uneventful for Bailey. After TNO had gone to Rome, Italy, the UNS had spread out across Europe. Bailey, herself, had chosen to stay in England. Bailey found the culture amazing and after figuring out how to navigate her way around London, she began having quite a bit of fun. The young Polaris Owl spent most of her time in the bookstores reading the classics. Because she did not have the funds to purchase any new books, she could only read them in the shops before placing them back on the shelves most likely never to see them again after she had left this beautiful city. After she had confessed her feelings to Luca, she felt that part of a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. The other part was fully controlling her abilities without the use of the collar around her neck, but the truth was, she was afraid to take off the device, which kept her vectors from going out of control. In a city filled with many people, she did not want to take that chance at all.

Seeing Viktor give a nod to get her to follow him, Erin smiled and did as told. She understood body language very well. She was very good at reading people and very good at hiding her own emotions most of the time so as not to worry other people. As she followed after Viktor, Erin made sure to try to ignore her slight headache. It made it much easier to deal with now that she had sunglasses to block the light which she felt was rather intense when she had headaches. When Viktor asked why she hadn't been out of her room, Erin gave him a small sheepish smile. "I haven't been feeling very well since we got here, but I'm feeling better today so I thought I would walk around a bit." she replied, nodding a confirmation to herself and to Viktor about her resolve to stay outside all afternoon. But in order to divert Viktor's attention away from her personal health issues, Erin instead asked him a question. "When did you join our group? I take it youve met most everyone else by now?"
===
Hearing the disapproval in Che's tone, Kate let out a low snort of her own disapproval. She had figured Che wouldn't care where she went. It certainly helped though that he said he wasn't being sarcastic at least. "Is that all I am good for while traveling with you? Doing what you want me to do by helping you fight the Heralds, humans, and the UNS...Rescuing your idiot children... If that's not true, well it certainly seems to be true."
That said, Kate stepped around the now floating Che and started further into Saint Peter's Square. "Besides, I do not belong with your group. You all seem so happy when I am not around." she said, referring to what she had observed fifteen minutes ago. "So why should I stay any longer? The only reason you could possibly want me to stay is so you can use me and my abilities to your advantage in this endless crusade of yours."
"Why would you worry over my safety, Che. That is unlike you: to be worried about my safety. You should know by now that I am capable of fending for myself. As for the humans in Russia? Well now. They are easily dealt with. With protection from the Russian government I have managed to live this long."
===
When Nik let out a low chuckle, Anya grimaced a little in an attempt to cover up the fact that she was blushing. She wasn't sure if it worked or not though. When she heard Nik's question, Anya gave him an attempt at a slight glare. "Of course not. I figured you had a reason why you were following me around. I just thought you were doing it to annoy me..." she replied, trying to keep her voice from faltering because of her embarrassment. The fact that Nik was basically staring at her with that smile on his face, wasn't really helping. Granted, she knew he wasn't making fun of her or anything for being embarrassed, but she couldn't help but think that he was. Then, a sort of awkward silence came over them. Thankfully though, Nik broke it by asking her if she felt any better now. Anya scowled slightly as her face unintentionally got darker because she was blushing more now. "N-No... Not now that you've embarrassed me..." she murmured in reply looking down at the ground now.

Lorna jumped when Soliel materialized right next to her in his magma form before his human form appeared through the torrent of magma. She was used to seeing him without a shirt so the sight of his chest and stomach covered by the white material was quite odd to her. Still, he did look rather good in a suit. She nodded when he spoke to her. "Well, sure I did," she said wanting to tease him and mention something about him avoiding her even though she was pretty sure that he wasn't. But for now she wanted to know just what the two unfamiliars were up to. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the couple. "I hardly think they could be called friends from the way Raven is staring at them," Lorna said teasingly with a smirk. She guessed that they had only just made their presence known for it seemed that according to Raven's expression that their leader had not met these two before, but from the way they looked at her, it was apparent that perhaps they had at least heard of the TFP leader.

Viktor Z. Temnota - The Bio-Hazard Owl - T.N.O "W-well, that's good, I mean feeling better not the felling bad" Viktor said with a nervous laugh. Viktor looked down slightly and scratched the back of his head through his hood. "I joined the group about 2 weeks ago, I'm still getting used to things, but I've been doing the best I can with the time I have." He said uneasy. "I don't exactly...mix well with others, I haven't really talked to the other members that much if at all, but I have spoken to several to get to know the team. It's strange though, trying to blend." He explained, looking confused about his own thoughts. He wanted to blend in, but why wasn't he able to just man up and do it. It was one of Viktor's least desirable traits, and the one he's always hated. Viktor tried to think of a good topic of interest when the obvious struck him "....So, uh, what is your 'Gift'...of sorts?" He asked trying to keep his voice down, but still audible to Erin. He was always curious about what the others had up their sleeves in terms of abilities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As a pair of arms drapped over her shoulders, sliding down her body with an extreme ease as though this were second nature Luca's head rested gently on her shoulder, looking over it to see what she was doing. "What are you doing here alone?" He asked as his arms wrapped around her waist. He could feel his one normal arm touch the cold metal of his artificial one, it was a feeling he was use to but one he doubted Bailey would get use to soon. It was odd, feeling the warmth of flesh and then the cold hard surface of metal, they're polar opposites which clash violently. He smiled gently as he turned his head a little, kissing her cheek gently. Ever sense the plane he had become much less shy about how he felt, and why should he be? He practically asked her to marry him without getting down on one knee with a ring.

Bailey felt a familiar pair of arms slide themselves around her. The feeling was both warm and cool for one of the arms was of an artificial metallic material. Even though this was something he often did now, it was still difficult to get used to the cold feeling of Luca's artificial arm. A light pink tinge touched her cheeks as the Chain-Gun Owl kissed her on the cheek. She turned her head so that she could both look at him fully and press her lips lightly against his in a warm and very tender kiss before she slowly pulled away from him, but still allowed his arms to remain encircled around her in a gentle embrace. "I've come to this particular bookstore everyday since we've been in London," she said looking down at the book, which she had been so immersed in. Ever since they had confessed their feelings to each other on the plane, they had rarely been apart since then. She closed the book, which she had been reading and allowed one of her vectors to place it back up on the topmost shelf. She attempted to stand, but tripped over her dress and ended up falling upon Luca who had been behind her. She shook away the stunned feeling and looked towards her silver haired boyfriend and began laughing at her sheer clumsiness.

Sebastian was about to say something to Raven when he noticed that Lorna and Soliel had appeared. Even with the remarks that were made, Sebastian kept his demeanor and addressed them. "Hello you two, my name is Sebastian Vanilli and this here is my wife, Evelynn" he said adjusting his glasses. "We were just explaining to your leader that we are here to help your team...as an act of trust...I did that" he said as he pointed to the obliterated building in the background. "Since your team will be receiving much R & R, we will take our leave, unless you two would like to get to know me and my wife better or have any more questions" he told them.
Aeon sipped on her coffee as she used the public mac. Curled up on a seat she began to look at the world news. She shook her head slighlty, there was NEVER anything good to read about. And where was Moli? Her sister? Aeon still felt horrible so she wouldn't move for quite a while. When she reached for her coffee, to her surprise she didn't feel a cup at all. Looking at the coffee it was just floating. Aeon shook her head twice, what was happening. The cup then began to form around the coffee as she grabbed it quickly. The cup soon faded and the hot coffee began to burn Aeon. "Damnit!!!" she shouted out in pain.
"Tell me Timothy...have you ever wanted children? I mean just to settle down and have a family?" she asked curiously as she tasted the saki. It tasted weird and definitely wasn't her first choice of drink. She began to eat more sushi and even added the green paste that Timothy had provided. Her mouth was on fire as she reached for some water but it only made it worse. "What the hell Timothy?!? My mouth is on fire!!!" she exclaimed.

"Heh. I was thinking the same thing Lorna...from the looks of it, a fight hasn't broken out so that must mean something." Soliel analyzed with leveled, stern eyes. There was Sebastian, the man of luck and Evelynn the Omnipath. Both seemed to be stronger than they looked, but Soliel wasn't here to screw up another good alignment. When Sebastian spoke to him, the red eyes of the Magma owl loomed down to meet the man. Lingering in though for a moment, Soliel replied, "Maybe later. The only thing I'm worried about is if you can fight and if you're trustworthy. We'll know in due time won't we? C'mon Lorna. I'd like to atone for making myself scarce these past few days."
~~~
"Have I ever wanted children? Yes, yes I have. I almost had a boy once, but fate abruptly cancelled that." Timothy lifted another wrap to his mouth and savored the almost tasteless Japanese delicacy. Looking away from the metallic chopsticks into Sabrina's eyes with curiosity, Timothy smirked again, then chuckled softly. After swallowing, he inquired, "I'll ask you the same thing my dear...have you ever wanted ki---water won't help!" Sabrina had tasted the Wasabi in an amount Timothy should've warned about. For those that had it, they knew now to eat too much at once for the sensation would not be the best. Holding back a laugh for his friend and partner, Timothy stood up, walked to her and began patting her back to keep her from coughing. "Tearing up at the eyes....and your nose must hurt now I'm sure. That's Wasabi...don't eat much of it at once because it opens the nasal passage in a...special way....um....would you like to try some Mochi? Maybe Wasabi Mochi?"
~~~
"I---but that's not--hey that's not....maybe I could..." Che returned to his feet after Kate began another one of her famous tirades. Che, being the gentleman he was, attempted to get a word in edgewise, but those edges were soon filled with more words and an index finger lowering in disappointment. When it was his turn to speak, Che ran his hair back with both his hands and smiled after Kate stepped past him. She wasn't stopping and Che knew this. Another one of Kate's many admirable qualities...
Che wasn't please with how Kate thought of herself in relation to everyone else. Whether she knew it or not, she more than just a babysitter to the Owls she worked with. To Che, she was more than just the person his soul would inevitably end up with. True, to an extent he was using her, but then again, everyone was using each other. Before Kate could get further down the cobblestone path, Che caught up to her and took her left hand in his. Preventing her from progressing any further, the Italian grinned, then spoke almost in a whisper, "You are far more important to all of us than you know Kate. And if my words don't incline you to believe otherwise, I think I know what will." Before Kate could, contradict in anyway Che wasted now time in pressing his lips to dark woman's. Between the two was Che's hand with Kate's grasped in it. For a time, he held the girl closely to him, but when he needed to speak once more, he pulled away from her, but rested his forehead against her's and grinned. Closing his eyes, the now bushy haired owl spoke lowly, "Yes....I'm ready for my slap...just make it fast okay? Before you do though, just want you to know. When you speak alot, your lips get warmer. It makes for better kisses..."
