Street Urchins
Four, as the girl was known as, looked at the boy standing next to her. Her stomach was twisted up in hunger and she needed to eat. Soon. It had been a few days since the last time they managed to find some food. Dumpsters outside of restaurants were great places to find something resembling edible, but they were usually chased away before they could really find anything worth eating.

The boy shrugged.

"We have to eat," Four said.

"I know," Ten, as he was called, answered. "There's a building there that looks like a club. Maybe there's something in the dumpster out back in the alley." She was right. They had to eat soon. It had been a week since they escaped from the building that had been their home for the past few months. They had no memories of anything before that.

There had been an /incident/ and the two had managed to escape. Ten had always been curious about the outside world. They had made their way to New Orleans and lived in the streets.

Four and Ten made their way to the dumpster behind the club and started rooting around in it.

By his father's beard, what had happened to these children? Childhood was supposed to be a time of joy. The children looked as though they had never known that in their short lives.

He'd had plenty already. And could always find more later. There were still sandwiches on his own plate too. He slid it over as well.

"Takest what thou wishest, children."

Lyta went to the cupboards and started pulling snacks out. Chips, crackers, even the pudding cups labeled "Lyta's, touch at your own risk!", and placed them down on the counter. "You guys help yourselves, alright?" She walked over to the fridge and pulled out lemonade and poured two tall glasses and slid them over to the kids.

Corey had been in his room, very, very carefully working away at a scale model of the Barcelona Pavilion. Upon hearing from Lyta, and as soon as he felt it could be safely abandoned without collapsing, he came into the kitchen.

"Hey," he said to the little ones with mild cheer.

The two kids had quickly eaten the sandwiches and reached for more. They hadn't eaten in days and they didn't know when their next meal would be.

Ten and Four practically jumped at the sound of a new voice. They looked like they were ready to bolt for the door. The sandwiches and food were forgotten about for the moment.

Four's eyes went wide. "Stay? We can't stay. We have to go." If they stayed the bad people would find them. They would take her and Ten back to the place they escaped from.

Argo frowned. Something about this was clearly not right.

"Thou art welcome to stay, children," he said. "We havest plenty of room."

"The men in the white coats," Four said as she grabbed a pudding cup. "They run the place and they will send the men in uniform after us. They always do when we try to escape."

Argo gritted his teeth. "I likest this not. I doth not think it wise to allow these men to come near these children."

"These men..." said Lyta, searching for the right words to say, "They... harm you in any way? Make you feel unsafe?"

Four shook her head. "No. They just run tests on us. The soldiers train us. We just wanted to see what was outside the building."

"We art not letting these men reclaim them," Argo said. It was clearly not a question. "On mine honor as the Son of Hercules."

"You're safer here than on the run," Corey carefully tells the kids. "Even if they find you, seriously, if Argo and the others say you're not going anywhere, you're not going anywhere."

"We can help your friends too," Lyta said, "You'll need to take us to them, though.
