Unexpected Visitor
Alisa was lucky enough that Nick gave her the key to the Champions headquarters, and permission to sleep in his room. She really did not want to go back home when she felt like she hurt Ennie so bad, and REALLY did not want to try and break into the place. Alisa had thrown her wet clothes into a corner of Nick's bedroom, and slept in one of his shirts, that he left in his closet.

It was odd for her to sleep in a stranger's room, and without someone at her side. But that did not seem to matter, Nick had a nice, warm bed... more comfortable than the one she shared with Ennie back "home". For the first time in a long time, Alisa actually slept well.. with no nightmares, and actually being comfortable. Perhaps she was just too exhausted from the day's events to have a nightmare. For the whole night, and some of the morning... she was at peace.

	Irina paused mid-swear and blinked. "I'm sorry. I thought Nick...nevermind." Irina took a moment to get brain off of that track and onto a different one. "We have empty rooms if you need one. There's more than enough room here for everyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oui, Nick told me... but ah wasn' gonna wake everyone up in de middle o' de night ta ask for one. An' you t'ought Nick what?" She raised a slightly sleepy eyebrow at Irina. "Ennie... lost control o' his powers an' ah didn' 'ave anywhere ta go. I was gonna sleep on de floor o' de Workshop when Nick found me walkin' in. We sat on de loft o' de shop, talked, drank whiskey... den he said ah could stay here until ah got a room o' mah own. He was real nice about it, too... even realized we 'ad a lot in common."

	"It doesn't matter what I think. Come on, Alisa. I'll show you to a room. Then you can give me a list of things you want for it and I'll be happy to get them for you." She wasn't surprised Nick had taken care of the girls. Despite his rough exterior, Nick did care about people. He just didn't like to admit it to himself or others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alisa slipped out of the bed, then pulled up the blankets on the bed, making it before she grabbed her stuff and followed Irina out of the room. Thankfully, the shirt she borrowed from Nick's closet was long enough to work as a nightgown, and keep her covered modestly. All she had was an armful of wet clothing, and a backpack. Pretty light stuff, actually.

"T'ank you, Irina... but ah don' wanna put yah guys out. Ah t'ink ah got enough stuff..."

	"You're not putting us out," she said as she lead the kid down the hall to an empty room. "We take care of each other." She opened the door. It was a nice sized room with a queen size bed, a small nightstand and a dresser. "It's not much, but it's warm and dry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oui... compared ta back home... Ennie got too upset from mah emotions... drove his powers nuts like ah said before... only ah left out he blew up de bathtub an' knocked himself out cold. So ah ran off an' here ah be." Alisa walked into the room, placing her bookbag on the floor, and tossing the wet clothes next to the dresser with a somewhat loud thud. "Ah... umm... guess a hamper would be nice... an' ah t'ink Nick is gonna take mah out later to improve mah image a lil' ... "

She tapped her chin thinking of what she could need, before taking a seat on the rather large bed. Well, it seemed large to her, anyway. "So... yeah... umm... a hamper... an' maybe a sock monkey... an' ah'm good ta go."

"Give me your wet clothes and I'll toss them in the dryer for you." Then she had a thought. The wet clothes and the ones were probably the very few articles of clothing the kid owned. She started making a mental list. Clothes. Clothes hamper. Sock Monkey (whatever that was). "We'll start you off with the basics and go from there. Are you hungry? If you tell me where your brother is, I'll go check on him to make sure he's okay."

"Ah could umm... do dat mahself..." She sighed, not wanting to be rude. Alisa handed over her wet clothes to Irina. "T'ank you, Irina... but... ah don' know id you should check on Ennie... he couldn'... he couldn' control his powers. Ah'm worried any emotions outside o' his own gonna set him off again. Ah already feel horrible for comin' back home so happy an' settin' him off like a piece o' C4!"

Alisa moved back over to her backpack, opening it up and taking out a card that was 3" x 4". It had her address written on it. "Here... me an' Ennie live at dis place. Jus' ... try non ta give off any emotions. Ah don' wan' him to knock himself t'rough anoder wall." She then turned red, moving her backpack over and finding a pair of handcuffs stuck to it. "Errr... ummm... dese... ain' mine... dey must've gotten stuck on mah backpack when ah threw it down in Nick's bedroom... WHY does he 'ave handcuffs in his room to start wit' ?"

"It's not a problem, Alisa. If you need something to wear until then, feel free to raid my closet. I'm right next door."

She took the card. "I can handle myself. I'm also a fast healer," she said as she unconsciously touched her stomach. Still sore, but no gaping wound. Always a good thing.

Irina may have turned a little red. "Those aren't Nick's. They're mine." She held out her hand for them.

Alisa slowly handed over the handcuffs to Irina. "It's non you ah worried about really, Irina... it's Ennie... he can' heal like you do... an' ah'm worried what lil' we got in dat house will go boom. As for dese... umm... dey nice?"

She gave Irina a nervous smile, before sinking back down in the bed. That smile soon faded as she spoke quietly. "Ennie's probably upset ah took off.... ah jus' ... ah didn' wanna hurt'em non more, Irina. If you do check on him... can you tell'em ah'm here, an' ah'm so sorry for makin' him so upset. Ah... ah didn' mean to..."

	She took the handcuffs. "Thanks. I'll make sure he's okay. Don't worry. I'll make sure he knows where you are and that you're okay." "Feel free to raid my closet for some clothes. You can't run around in just Nick's shirt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	temperence 2010-02-25 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Oui, ah'll do dat. But like ah said... Nick is takin' mah clothes shoppin' when he wakes up." She smiled some. "But t'ank you for lettin' mah borrow an outfit. Dat's very nice o' yah, Irina. Umm... which one is your room? Do we got name plate son our room doors?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Next door on the left," she said. "Let me get your clothes in the dryer. Are you hungry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A lil' bit... ah should be fine, t'ough, Irina. Plannin' ta eat big at "Papa Gumbo's Jazz Club", tonight. Ah usually sneek out every week ta go jus' once. Dey got good food. Non as good as Corey or Ennie's, but it good." She hopped off the bed and headed for the door. "Why are you guys so nice ta us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-02-25 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	Irina sighed. "Do you want something to eat now? There's plenty here." Irina waited for her to go first. "Because you're just kids and could use the help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ah'm non a kid... ah'm twenty years old... jus' don' look it." She sighed, looking back at her. "Ah ain' used ta 'elp wit'out strings attached, yah know. Ennie said fairy tales like dis don' exist... but you guys prove him wrong. Ah'll jus' grab mahself a bowl o' corn flakes or sumt'ing. Also... umm... been meanin' ta ask you guys. Mind if ah join up? You know, become a Champion, do some good for dis messed up world?"

	"You're a kid to me," Irina said. "No strings attached here. We help those in need without anything in return." Irina paused. "It's not up to me. I will talk to the team about it and we'll make a decision." (Reply to this)(Parent)
