Takeshi glanced behind Brody's shoulder and gave a welcoming nod to Asha, "Pleased to meet you. Down in the first lounge there are two other new mutants, Estelle and Catrin - I've arranged with the staff to have those two sorted and I'm sure they'll do the same here. I hope you enjoy your time here."
And as soon as he finished, he carried on making his way towards where he reckoned Yumeko was but as soon as he reliased she was out of his sight, he started calling her name.

EDIT:

"It's raining heavily outside," Raye explained with a serene glint reflecting in his eyes, "My friend and I needed shelter. Is it a problem?"

Brody shrugged and turned back towards Asha. "The lounge's this way." he started back the way he came.

Marsia followed Brody and stayed behind as he led Asha towards the lounge. She had then wanted to know what else she could do to help out so she chased after Takeshi, asking her what could she do.

Nick retreated back to his flat. Well, it wasn't really his flat. He broke into it two months ago. No one seemed to use it so Nick became the unofficial owner of it. He immediately went for his computer. He had hacked into the Mutant Surveillance Ministry, an organization that he likened to the Gestapo, but it was of little help. He only used in case they called for a mass mutant deportation. He then turned to his current work. It was a power amplifier. It only worked on mind powers though but it was perfect for him. His plan was to use it against the city of London, tearing it apart in fear.

Estelle sat down on one of the couches in the lounge, placing her belongings at her side. She glanced around her surroundings in slight awe. Definately a lot nicer than what I am used to. she thought with a slight smirk. Brushing back a strand of raven hair, she sank back against the couch, musing on the prior events. I killed another man. she thought bitterly. No doubt the authorities will come for me. Can I truly stay her and risk putting everyone here in danger? She shook her head, knowing the answer in her heart. I can not cause any more suffering to my kind. If the authorities track me here, I will leave. she thought, her jaw tightening with her determination.

Asha quickly said thank you to Takeshi and followed Brody down to the lounge, feeling a little out of place, (she had never been around so many people like her self,) even thought finding HENYA was quite welcoming.

Estelle looked up as two others entered the lounge. She nodded her head in greeting, smiling slightly at the two of them. "Hello. I'm Estelle. Who are you?"

"I'm Brody." he smiled at Estelle. "That's a pretty name." He started to introduce Asha, but realized she might want to do that herself. He sat down on one of the couches.

"Thank you." Estelle replied smiling at him. "It's nice to meet you. Have you been here long?" she asked as he took a seat.

"Not too long." he said. "Only a couple of months. Some mutants have been here for lots longer." he abruptly feel silent, closing his mouth. He had been warned before not to talk too much.

"Rise," the policemen commanded. "Slowly."

Jackie obeyed, standing up very slowly indeed. By now, the media had arrived on the scene, and cameras were rolling, long-distance microphones pointed in her direction. She was running out of words to express her displeasure. But one thing was certain - she wasn't going with them. She could die, she could run, but she wasn't going to give up her freedom, the one thing she had left.

"Hands on your head," barked one of the men. As the girl lifted her hands, slowly again, she closed her eyes and felt for the threads of air with her fingers, flicking knots of fluid around their guns. They reached for her elbows to lean her against a car and handcuff her, but she tugged, and their weapons flew out of their hands, to smash into buildings across the street. The dancer flung out her arms again and grabbed every strand that she could, pulling.

A gale-force wind ripped down the street, tossing people and cars about in utter confusion. She let herself drift away on the gust. It was a challenge to carefully control the air under her body, but she stayed afloat until she saw an empty alley. Landing clumsily, she staggered over to a wall and leaned against it; the exertion was taking its toll. She was truly on the run now - and every person in England would be on the lookout for her, once the six o'clock news aired. The cameras had been rolling, and a mutant who massecred almost a hundred Londoners would be in the papers for days to come.

She was so occupied in thinking about these implications that she didn't notice the first fat drop landing on her nose from the sky. Then the skies broke open, and she walked further into the alley, looking for a way out of the rain.

Estelle nodded absently, noting his abrupt silence. Smart man. she thought to herself. They do teach them well. Trust for a mutant can not be easily given, for you never know when one of your own may betray you. "I heard that this place has become a sanctuary for many." she said instead. "I hope that it remains that way for years to come." she said more to herself as she averted her gaze. "We may have need of it." she muttered to herself, knowing that the day's events was likely to spark another conflict between humans and mutants.

Catrin spoke up suddenly, "How many mutants are there?" She asked, turning her hazel eyes to Brody. She wasn't sure if she liked being surrounded by people again, after so long of being solitary and fond of her own company. "I mean, if there's so many, how do they accomidate for them all and their powers?" Catrin added, after a moment of pausing, musing to herself.

Mari nodded and silently lowered the last box to the ground. Then, so no one should hear her she levitated herself over to the door and listened out of sight.

Takeshi turned around once again, growing slightly impatient and reliased that it was Marsia. With a raised eyebrow he asked rather plainly, "What?"

"Oh, sorry," she apologized. "I was just wondering if there was anything you wanted me to do."

Takeshi pondered the offer but shook his head, "Except if you're willing to go after Raye, Mai and Tai out in main London or give the new arrivals a tour of HYENA," he suggested with a faint smile.
