While this wasn't the first big meeting they'd had to discuss things and work out plans, it still was pretty necessary...especially after everything that had gone on. Between him and the others getting kidnapped, the raid on Central Park, what Spin had told him they'd seen from the shore, getting stuck and then rescued from Roosevelt Island, the discovery of what the bites really did, and now some of his closest friends missing...Sora didn't even know where to begin with it all. Working with Aerith and all of the other Healers to establish territories was working well so far, but that was still something they had to keep off the network as much as possible. There was no telling what their captors would try next.

Despite the early start, Sora still managed to be there on time...mostly because he hadn't been sleeping too much lately. He wandered over to the snack table and picked up one of the bagels, leaving the coffee. (He still wasn't terribly fond of the stuff). He started munching on the bagel, scanning the precinct for anyone he recognized, or anyone willing to chat before they started in on the meeting.

Kang had been up early enough to notice the helicopter flying south, and had been spending most of the time between then and the meeting thinking about what it could possibly mean. Captors, someone wishing to help, or was the entire area hidden from view?

He'd always preferred to arrive at meetings a few minutes early. So far there were only a few people he recognized; Spin, Daniel, and Aya were already talking, so he moved over to where the young boy was. The bozak hadn't gotten to talk to him since Roosevelt Island.

"...Sora, right? You did a good job on the boat, from what little I can remember."

[optimistickey]

Sora looked up from his breakfast as Kang approached him. Even amongst the strange people of this city, Kang was always very easy to pick out, what with the wings and tail and horns. He grinned and waved to him.

"Uhh, thanks!" Sora replied, scratching at the back of his neck with his free hand. "But you were the guys that did all the work! We'd probably still be stuck there if it wasn't for all of you." It looked like he'd worked way hard, as Kang had practically passed out in the boat on the way back.

[bozakcommander]

"Nonsense. I do remember you being the one to throw those... whatever they were, in the water to get Harry and I out. You did your part," Kang smiled. "Thank you for that. Jumping into the water wasn't one of my smarter ideas."

[optimistickey]

"Life savers?" Sora corrected. An appropriate name, although Sora had discovered that there was a type of candy called 'life savers' on this world, too. Probably because they were life saver-shaped...but still very good.

"No problem! Yeah, it looked like it kinda...knocked you out," Sora said, hoping he wasn't being too offensive. "Is it hard to swim?" Maybe with those wings swimming was difficult for him...plus one of them had been injured at the time.

[bozakcommander]

Kang shook his head, "No, I can swim fine. I didn't realize just how cold the water was going to be; my kind can't handle extreme temperatures very well." A pause, and then he laughed, "Life savers. A fitting name."

[optimistickey]

That was something Sora hadn't even thought about...with them coming out of winter, the water probably was still freezing cold. Mostly he hadn't even bothered going into the water because it was also mucky and filthy; not at all like the oceans back home. "Really? Like...really cold stuff messes you up?" He was still trying to figure this one out.

"Yeah, we had to have at least one of those on boats all the time," Sora said with a nostalgic smile. He'd definitely grown up knowing how to use those.

[bozakcommander]

"Yes. Heat, too," Kang nodded. "I'm glad to see that everyone is doing well. Did the marks on your wrists fade yet?"

[optimistickey]

"Woah, I didn't know that. I guess this place must kinda stink during the winter, huh?" He would suggest jackets, but sometimes they didn't always help. And he was used to cold and heat not bothering him too much.

Sora looked down at his wrists...at most they were a little pink, but for the most part as good as healed. He held up one hand as if to demonstrate, although it was hard to see it precisely around the gloves he typically wore. "Yup, they're fine now!"

[bozakcommander]

Kang laughed, "It's not exactly very comfortable, no."

"Good to see. I'm curious, though, how those marks were made in the first place," he mused.

[optimistickey]

At least he was taking that bit in stride. Sora's smile faltered a little, even if he was also curious. "Yeah, me too. I'd think it'd be from something wrapped around our wrists..." Probably to keep them from using their hands or escaping, but there was no way of being completely sure.

"But we'll find out!"

[bozakcommander]

"Wouldn't surprise me, if that were the case," Kang frowned. "And yes, we will find out, and prevent it from happening to anyone else on this island again." Hell, if their captors decided to go on another kidnapping spree, he wouldn't be surprised if he was among them, after the roles he'd taken. The bozak wasn't too fond of the idea of being experimented on.

[optimistickey]

Sora was determined to believe that they would prevent anyone else from being kidnapped again, although how they would do so he had no clue. But he didn't want it to happen to anyone else...not when it seemed to be getting progressively worse each time. And if they chose to dump kidnapped people even further away from the island, what could they do then?

"Maybe we'll get some clues as to how to stop it from happening again here."
