"They've managed to set up a house?!" Tereza took a deep breath, "Sorry. I wasn't as prepared as I thought for my past coming back to bite me. Bitshift isn't a name I recognize, so he must be new. It'd be nice to know what she's got up her collective sleeves, but I can't ask you to stick your neck out for me."

"Well, you know where they'll be waiting for you, although I'd recommend against meeting them on her terms." she says and pulls out the flyer Trinity had given her, holding it out to Tereza.

Tereza took the flyer and looked at it, "Yeah, she still knows me. I probably would have walked right into this." She sighed, "Might still walk right into it. If she doesn't catch me here, she's likely to keep trying and someone will get hurt."

"If you're going to walk into a trap at least come up with a plan first. Otherwise you might as well just go to them now."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 4:04 pm

Tereza was quiet for a long moment as she studied the flyer. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, "The list of people I can trust for this is depressingly short. You and Sam are the only two people who know about it."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 4:27 pm

"You seriously need some non-telepath friends. But at least you're confiding in people who are capable of keeping things from Trinity."

"I suppose I could ask the rest of my X-Men team, but... well, Tosh and Trev aren't exactly subtle. Vivienne would probably go along if I asked her, but old flames and new flames just tend to create bad fires."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:05 pm

"Can't say I'm surprised she lied about her history with you. And sending Tosh and Trev her way sounds like a tremendously stupid idea. No offense but she'd chew those two up in a heartbeat. She's here for a reason. If you're the sole reason then her friends are going to get restless eventually."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:18 pm

"I can't imagine how petty revenge fits into her larger plan though. It doesn't seem like her to come here *just* to screw with me."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:39 pm

"No, I think they're working on something else. I have an in with them, not enough that she'll tell me what they're planning but enough that she brought me to the house."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:43 pm

"Really?" An eyebrow arched before she schooled it back into place. "Nevermind, do you know where they are?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 6:29 pm

"Yes. They tried to be a little obtuse about it, but Maldon's not that big."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 7:23 pm

Tereza looked thoughtful, "Might be worthwhile to go check the place out. Assuming we could get close without setting something off."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:26 pm

"I think your main problem there is Trinity. If what she told me is even partially true then she can cover a disturbing amount of ground with her telepathy."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 11:09 pm

"What did she tell you?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 12:15 am

"That she can split up and go at least 2 miles while maintaining her connection."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 12:22 am

"Probably true. I don't know that her telepathy would work at that range though. Hard to say, she doesn't like to be spread out like that. Or at least she didn't."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:14 am

"She alluded to that, but she could still be in three places at once if she had to. Do you know what happens to her if one of them is incapacitated?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 11:13 am

"No, I don't. She always went out of her way to make sure that didn't happen."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 2:30 pm

"So it's either a weakness or she wants people to assume it is." she muses. "Do you have any idea what kind of thing they could be after in Maldon?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 2:33 pm

"In Maldon? I don't know. Maybe just wanting to hide in the University's shadow? No one's going to notice a few extra mutants around town, especially if they're our age."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 2:47 pm

"And what, just settle down here, go work in a shop or buy a fishing boat?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:00 pm

Tereza crossed her arms, "I don't know. There must be something they want, maybe in London? There's no other substantial location close enough that would have something they'd want. At least, none that I'm aware of, but that's not saying a lot." She sighed, "We just don't know enough."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:29 pm

"Well, Trinity seems to like me, so I suppose I'll keep an eye on what they're doing."

Not like that's a particularly unpleasant prospect either.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 4:44 pm

"I really appreciate it," she said, "I'll start figuring out who else I can trust with this stuff."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 5:20 pm

"I'd be more concerned about who you think can keep it from Trinity should they run into her."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 5:28 pm

"Well, I'm not about to tell them what you're up to, if that's your concern."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 5:45 pm

"No, but she's not stupid. I doubt she'll try to screen everyone who walks out the gates, but some people wear their minds on their sleeves. Do not get Will involved in this."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 5:54 pm

As they reached the beach, the big construct moved ahead of them, wading out into the water. "First someone outs me to the Headmistress for talking to a former member of the Brotherhood, now the Brotherhood is here and looking for me. Something smells rotten."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 6:06 pm

"Did she give you any crap for that?" she asks, watching the ice splosh it's way into the sea, hands in her pockets, shoulders hunched a little bit against the wind that's blowing down here at the beach.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 6:12 pm

"Who? The Headmistress? Not a lot. She even apologized for having to ask. Said she always had to check those things out."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 6:42 pm

"Makes sense, I suppose. Feel free to tell her whatever you want, by the way. That woman has a mind like a sheer cliff wall, I can't get a thing from her. It's kind of amazing."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 6:49 pm

"I can imagine it's rare to run into people you can't read," Tereza said with a nod, trying hard not to think about why Miriam probably couldn't get a read on Ashlie.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:07 pm

"Rare but not necessarily as ominous as you seem to think. There were some people in Muir I couldn't read. Other telepaths can be good at shielding their thoughts and some mental powers just... they seem to change the way you think. Someone said she's a technopath, so maybe her mind's just too far gone from what's 'normal'."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:11 pm

"Suppose that's possible." That strange layering of Russian and English that Sam had sensed popped up again as Tereza continued to think. "So you'll be figuring out what they're up to and I'll be figuring out what to do once we figure that out."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:26 pm

"I'll try. There's only so far I'm willing to stick my neck out here..."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:30 pm

"Trust me. I appreciate this more than you may know. The last thing I need is them setting me up for something, because I really don't want to go back to Muir."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:59 pm

"I can certainly understand that. You'll just have to figure out whether or not you'll want to walk into their trap."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 1:19 am

"We'll see. They may force my hand. If anyone could figure out how to do that, it would be Trinity."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 10:23 pm

"If she lets slip anything I'll let you know."
