Born and raised. Could see the Hollywood sign from my roof on the yearly clear day.
[She'll see your wariness and raise you some indifference.] Something like that, yeah. My parents had some stuff that mentioned them, but not a lot of information on them. The name just stuck in my head. I doubt they ever actually met.

Depends. On the 'legitimate business practices' side, they were supposedly antique dealers. Did a lot of work with museums and private collectors.
On the 'psychotic ne'er-do-well' side, they were time-traveling supervillains from the 87th century who were part of a conspiracy to wipe out humanity and leave the world to me and my friends.

Yep. It ended up getting all our parents killed in the process, but mostly because they were keeping us from getting eaten by their giant Biblical monster bosses. Either way, it worked.

We... weren't really a team. We're just friends. Family. Whatever sappy terminology you want to apply, we're it. We're not superheroes or anything like that.
We just happened to be the kids of the Pride. That's what we keep getting called by other spandex-jockeys.

It's not so bad at the moment. I was lucky, though; I got brought here with a piece of home that never lets me feel alone.
To be honest, though, with the way things were back in LA, this place isn't too bad. Not being hunted daily and having to worry about how much money we have to feed six people for a week, versus having to stay indoors at night? A trade I'm willing to make.
As in, he left the house, or left the city all together?

Nope. Not a single magic stick or floppy pink hat to be seen.
