It's a kind of magic
It had been two days since she had been caught. She should have known better than to accept a dinner invitation from a stranger. She thought she would be safe at a restaurant. In public.

In broad day light. They had used some kind of magic to get her to leave with them. Then they bound her in the magical array they had built in the basement of their leader's mansion. She didn't know what it did. Just that every time they worked their magic she was left screaming.

She hadn't even known magic was real!

She had to get out of here. She just had no idea how. She was so tired and they had left her alone in the basement while thy prepared for the next round of whatever it was they were really trying to do. Gotta stay awake she tells herself. Gotta get out of here somehow.

She just has no idea how.

	Victoria allowed herself a small smile. "Your father's done well to pass on such interests." She was, after all, a teacher herself. Sorting out demonic entities was nothing compared to Billy McGraw. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And Mom taught me how to be her little detective." She looks mildly embarrassed but grins. "They're the coolest adoptive parents you could ask for." She will not speak of the days Dad came home smiling and smelling like things had gone boom. He had more fun than his students most days. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They sound very nice." Zach smiles. "My parents run a general store. Anyway, that's all for the ritual. Do you need to get home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mina and her parents, even Zachary and his, Victoria always felt a twinge of jealousy when it came to families. Her childhood had been wonderful (and her imaginary friend Boston had turned out to be quite real), or as normal as it could be with a blind psychic mother who ran an occult shop, but she had not even known her father until she was an adult and their interactions now were few and sadly far between.

She pushed the thought aside.

"Or is there somewhere else we can take you?"

	"Home or back on campus," she decides. "I have a lot to think about." She'll talk to her parents eventually. She glances back at them again and smiles. "Thank you for everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, we're heroes, it's what we do. Also, let's not forget, World's Greatest Magician, and--" Zach points at Victoria. "--World's Most Chilling Elementary School Teacher." He preps his ring of teleportation to bring them back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Using a new definition of "Greatest" are we, Zachary?" Victoria asked. "The last time I checked such things, you were not even in the top five. Top ten, perhaps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We are not involved." Zach intones, grimacing. "Kid, just get in the portal." He twists his ring, and the air in front of Mina rips open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Zachary and I have a working relationship, nothing else," Victoria confirms. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right, yeah, of course they do. "All right." And into the portal she goes! (Reply to this)(Parent)
