Being grounded couldn't really keep Anna from leaving the house. She was an angel and the moment her family went to bed, she crawled out the attic window onto the roof, and she took to flight.

Especially Spectre, and who could blame him. Instead of cries of joy as the band ( Read more... )

The hospital was a place of chaos at the moment, but for the most part...the chaos was good. The Templar had tried their hand at attacking the people Peter loved, and they'd failed. The battle for Robert MacGavillary Hospital was short and simple, considering Rolf's idea of bringing back 4 dead people to take the front line. Six if you added in ( Read more... )

Mara wasn't having as good a day as she'd had the previous day. Not because her attitude was any less positive, however. She was just as upbeat as she had been, but the pain in her chest was worse, due to swelling, or whatever was going on in there as she healed. Every breath caused her pain, and Flynn...not to mention everyone else...hated to ( Read more... )

By the time Peter, Tasha and Anna approached the house at 137 Prince Albert Road, it was already quite full. Flynn was sitting on Quinn's lap, Stuart and Abby were in the kitchen arguing over silly things and swatting each other with ladles.
