"New Person. Come get her."
Came the text from Dario. Fayte sighed, her face collapsing back on her pillow. Why did she have to be the welcoming party? She groaned in irritation, rolling onto her back on the poor quality bed in her practically empty room. It was in the middle of the night, why couldn't they at least wait until morning!?
The girl got up anyways, knowing that Leon would not be the least bit happy if she just ignored this. She got herself out of her pajamas and into clothes. At least she did not have something like school to get ready for, although at least with that she could have an excuse to go back to sleep. She looked at the clock once more, around 4AM, she supposed it would be pointless to go back to sleep anyways.
She closed her door behind her, and made her way towards the entrance of this pit of hell known as a junkyard. One of the many dogs followed her along with a wagging stub tail, it was one she had come to favor. It was a doberman, but it seemed like a nice dog. She had dubbed this particular one as Butch, just something that had popped into her mind upon meeting the dog. She waited at the entrance, seeing the headlights as the vehicle pulled in.
Her eyes widened at the state of the front, it was bashed in and there was blood on the hood! The headlights flashed over the shivering wide eyed figure of Faye before pulling to the side, Leon stepping out of the vehicle.
"All yours," he spoke, tossing the key to her before walking away with Dario and Tobias. She side stepped away from the key, knowing better than to touch metal that Leon had recently touched. The cold air was suddenly warmer as he passed by, but the heat left with him and allowed the air to bite at her once more. She kind of envied his human-heating system, the cold never bothered him, the heat never bothered him, he was always comfortable.
She looked towards the passenger side to see a bloodied girl, her mouth fell to a gape at the state of her appearance, "What the hell happened to you!? Are you alright?!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide as she wondered why the hell those idiots didn't drive her to a hospital instead.

Katelyn only had just enough time to get out of the back of the car and watch as the other three occupants disembarked as well, before becoming aware of the blonde girl who looked to be roughly the same age as herself and the boy who'd been sitting in the front seat. She holds her silence as Leon speaks to the girl, tossing her the keys and telling the blonde it was 'all hers'. Katelyn figures he means the car, and then her gaze snaps to the other girl fully as Leon and the others begin to walk off, and she finds herself wincing again at the shrill yell of concern that comes next.
"Well I'd be better with a shower and a change of clothes, but yeah I'm fine. Now anyways." The native New Jersean replies dryly and flashes a small but friendly smile to the blonde, hoping to assure her that she was indeed alright. As she speaks, Katelyn took note of the girl who was presumeably Fayte's brief examination of the damage to the hood.
"That was somewhat my fault." She adds, not trying to be shocking but honest, hoping again she wasn't making a mistake with being so open suddenly about her powers. "Leon kind of creamed me going ninety-five... Wasn't hard for him to figure out how fast I heal, so he talked me into joining his little gang in exchange for a place to stay... I'm Katelyn by the way, I'm guessing you're Fayte?"

Fayte looked at the car, pointing to it for a moment before shaking her head more at herself to just not ask. Faye guessed a person with super regeneration wasn't too far from believable if she was capable of lifting a car a few inches off the ground without even lifting a finger, though she would struggle quite a bit to do even that.
"Yes, now come on," she grabbed the girls hand to lead her into the house, "Shower. And then you can borrow some of my clothes," She was not quite convinced that this girl was alright however, but a shower could definitely wash off all that blood and reveal any underlying wounds. She pushed the girl into the rickety bathroom, "The knobs are backwards, blue actually means warm and red actually means cold, locks are broken, don't bother with them," she made sure to note before closing the door and rushing to her room to get clothes.
Butch had remained outside by the door, Fayte could hear him whining a bit, but there was no way she was letting any dog inside this house. Not after the last disaster that had resulted in torn clothing and many other disgusting things covering the floor.
She grabbed a t-shirt and some pants before throwing them into the bathroom on the counter. Faye could hear the sound of a car revving outside, a sign that Leon and friends were leaving. Good.
Now to wait. This woman may have been on the path of a criminal by joining that bozo's gang, but there was no way Fayte could turn down someone looking like THAT. She supposed she was supposed to get a tour of the place or at the very least a tour of the house.
Fayte exited her room once more, the door closing behind her without her touching it. She looked around for signs of the new girl and Parker, but Parker was nowhere to be seen and the girl was still in the shower. Her hand hovered over the knob and the knob made a clicking sound as the broken locks somehow locked themselves. Once she was done, she proceeded to the living room to wait for the girl.

As her eyes followed the outstretched hand Fayte was using to point at the impact dents in the front of the car, all Katelyn found herself able to manage was a shrug and sheepish look. Before she really knows whats happening next, Fayte had spoken up with an order for Katelyn to go with her, and the brunette finds herself being pulled into the house behind the blonde girl. She normally might offer resistance to the virtual stranger but as Leon had more or less cleared the other girl as being one that Katelyn could possibly trust, not to mention that she had no idea where to go otherwise, the sixteen year old mutant just goes with it.
Soon enough Katelyn finds herself being pushed into a bathroom and upon seeing the shower before her, visibly sags in relief before turning to face Fayte as she speaks up again, explaining about the backwards engineering of the water control knobs. She gives a nod and then Fayte is gone back out the door.
Katelyn wastes no time in shedding her ruined clothes and dropping them into the trash basket, not seeing a point in doing anything further with them, and then in a rush she hurries to the shower. Quickly turning on the blue knob, she lets out a small moan of pleasure as water cascades over her nude form, lukewarm at first but with a quickly rising temperature. As the water gets hot enough, Katelyn grabs the more worn looking of the three sponges in the shower and begins wiping the red from her flesh. As she works to get herself looking like something other than a horror movie victim, she can hear someone reenter briefly, though since she figures it to be Fayte, she doesn't panic or anything except continue her work of getting clean and fresh again.
After what seems like an eternity, the last bits of blood come off and Katelyn's gaze falls toward the drain to watch it mix into the water to form a red sheen as it turns in a bit of a funnel as it sucks down into the piping. A moment later, she emerges from the shower and towels off quickly before spotting the clothes that Fayte must have brought in and left for her when she'd come back in. Quickly Katelyn dresses, and as she leaves the bathroom a minute or two later, has a content look on her face, glad to be in comfortable dressings again.
Slowly she finds her way over to what appeared to be the living room area, if only a bit run down, and spots Fayte already inside, seeming to have been waiting for her.
"Thanks for these." Katelyn says to announce her presence and throws a friendly and honest smile to the blonde as she moves closer.

"No problem," Fayte shrugged, she had plenty of clothes, but she definitely would be requesting them back once the girl had her own clothes since cash was a bit difficult to come by, at least for her considering she didn't borrow or ask anything of Leon.
"Ok, so uh..." Fayte looked around uselessly, not quite sure what to do with this new 'member' of the gang. She lifted her arms, giving up a bit, "Welcome to where you'll be living I guess since you were brought here. None of the door's locks work but my own. Parker and Tobias's room are on the second floor just right of the stairs, I don't recommend ever going in there since their room is almost a literal pig den, and Lance lives just next to them, don't open the door while he's in by the way, and my room is the farthest from the stairs. Those are other members of the gang but it seems that you've met at least Tobias and Lance.."
The teenage girl did not quite know what to say to this woman. She did not consider herself as part of the gang, though Leon did. She was only here until she could find somewhere else to crash and perhaps start up her own life of honesty.
"If you want a room any room that's not claimed is yours for the taking I guess..." She paused for a moment.
"So uh...why did you uh...do the thing?" she asked, wondering who in their right mind would want to live in a house full of thieves and criminals unless they absolutely had to.

Katelyn watched in silence for a couple moments as Fayte gave a shrug and then looked around for a moment before raising her arms up as if in a bit of defeat before speaking, properly welcoming Katelyn to the house and then giving a rundown of who was where and what to watch out for while staying here. Her face scrunches up with a bit of distaste as Fayte advises to keep away from Lance.
"Yeah, we met.. Tobias kinda wouldn't stop staring for a bit after I let slip about certain.. abilties I have and well.. yeah that Lance dude kinda fills me with all sorts of bad vibes so staying away from him won't be much of an issue. Tobias seems harmless enough though."
She goes quiet again then and reaches up to pull her hair back over her shoulders as Fayte speaks again, telling her that she could have any unclaimed bedroom and Katelyn gives an accepting nod in response. "Yeah that's no problem, I'll take whatever's free."
She goes slightly stiff again at Fayte's next question as to her reasons for accepting Leon's offer, or at least Katelyn assumes that's what the other teenager was getting at.
"I uh..." She starts, unsure of how much of her past she should share, given the code of silence the Costellos had in regards to certain things. "My family ran into some trouble back home and I got sent out this way to avoid being taken to some government lab to be a test-subject or whatever else they do to people like me. I had some money but somehow lost it on the train from New Jersey, so was sort of wandering half-asleep when my ass met the front bumper and hood of Leon's car out there. After I woke up at that place he brought me to, he offered a place to stay if I would work for him and since I didn't exactly have anywhere else to go to turn him down, it wasn't much of a tough decision... I did make him promise that he would let me walk when or if I wanted out at any point."
She pauses for a moment, once again badly wanting a cigarette but refraining from asking the blonde if she might have one. "So uh, what about you?" She asks with curiosity.

Fayte didn't seem to pry any further, nor want to. It seemed the girl had a rough time, no need to pester her.
"They're always like that, don't worry about Tobias and Parker though, those two act like a bunch of ten year olds on Christmas every day. Lance is just an ass in general, if you try to go in his room while he's in there he'll throw an empty bottle at you. As for how I got here..." Fayte seemed to get a bit uncomfortable herself but continued anyways, "My mother died and my father had died a while ago. My grandma dumped me here to find my godfather who happens to be Leon..."
"Anyways what's your name?" She spoke quickly afterwards, as if embarrassed to admit that she was legally related to him.
She was tempted to ask again to see if the girl really was ok, but considering she was standing and walking around just fine everything was good. She had never really thought about what had happened if the world had discovered her own powers, she would probably become a labrat as well, though it would be easy for her to bust out...well not really considering her powers were fairly weak. The thought provoked a sudden fear that perhaps she should train up her abilities...just a little bit.

Katelyn moved a bit further into the living room area and around to the front of one of the couches before lowering herself down to sit, sinking a bit into the well-weathered cushions but finding comfort as she settled in and listened as Fayte spoke, continuing to give a bit of useful information in regards to the house's other inhabitants.
When Fayte brings up a bit of her past and how it came to be that the blonde had ended up here with Leon as her guardian, Katelyn realizes that she and the blonde had eerily similar histories and not for the first time since fleeing from New Jersey, she finds herself missing her adopted father Nic like crazy, not to mention her half-siblings.
"Katelyn Dimeo..." The brunette answers with a sympathetic tone to her voice which grows as she quicklt begins to feel a kinship of sorts to the blonde. "I'm sorry for your losses, and trust me I can fully understand what that's like. Both my birth parents are dead too, so I'm not just saying it to say it either. I never even got a chance to know my mother before she was gone, but my dad... yeah it sucks.."

"I don't remember a thing about mine, he disappeared soon after I was born," Fayte explained, taking a seat herself in another couch. She guessed that the most logical thing to do would be to help this girl not feel awkward as much as Fayte felt terrified when she first got here.
When Fayte had first gotten here she had tried to run, only to promptly be tackled down, nearly crushed by a phone pole, and dragged back. It seemed that this girl was a bit in the same boat, Fayte thanked the gods that Leon wasn't a total prick like Lance. Fayte may have hated him, but at least he didn't go about killing recklessly and burning those that oppose him to a complete crisp.
"So uh...any questions?" she changed the subject once more. She was willing to answer any questions, having gotten a bit comfortable with the other girl and managing to overlook the fact that she was probably going to be beating people to a bloody pulp and robbing banks soon.

Katelyn gave a slow, empathetic nod as Fayte spoke a bit more on her father, and wonders just how much they had in common past their orphan status. It seems rude to Katelyn to just launch into a series of possibly uncomfortable inquiries however, so she holds back from asking anything that might cause the other girl distress.
"Not that I can really think of at the moment, I'm mostly a figure it out as I go kind of girl. Seems easier to pick up knowledge if it's not forced." She replies to Fayte's asking with a small shrug of her own, and sinks further into the couch as fatigue begins to fill her again. She finds herself yawning before realizing and lifts a hand to her mouth quickly. "Sorry, been a long few days."
Katelyn does want to ask if maybe Fayte had a power like herself and she assumed Leon too even if he hadn't come out and said it to make it official, but it seems a bit rude just to come out and inquire about it. Mostly she just wanted a friend near her age that knew what she was going through and wouldn't treat her like she was a freak or oddity, or stare like that Tobias kid had in the car.

"No it's fine!" Fayte spoke up after the girl apologized for yawning, "If you're tired then just claim a room. There's already beds inside them all, but they're not all exactly in the best condition."
Faye figured she should probably let the girl go instead of rooting her here with questions if she was tired. She did not even realize she was doing so in the first place. The blonde stood up, "I'm just going to go make some breakfast, do you want anything or are you going to sleep?" she asked, "We don't have much but we have cereal and...cereal..." she said as she realized they didn't exactly have much else.
They needed a trip to the grocery store, but if she told that to Leon then he'd probably point a gun at the clerk's head while Tobias and Parker grabbed all they could carry. She wondered if she could squeeze any money out of her room, maybe Lance's since he always seemed to have the money for alcohol, technically it wouldn't be stealing since she'd just be borrowing it and it was being used on something he needed...No, stealing was stealing, even if Lance was an ass.
She was tempted to ask Katelyn if she had any money but remembered that she had mentioned losing it in the train, that and it probably would have been a bit rude.
Meanwhile Parker was snoozing away in his room, not quite having woken up from the text he too had received.
((Kinda forgot about him xD))

"I probably should, but since it's already morning I'd just end up sleeping all day and fall into a bad pattern. Might as well just try to stay up for the day and crash hard tonight." Katelyn replies as she swallowed another yawn.
She watches as Fayte stands and then tells Katelyn of her intent to make some breakfast, asking if she wanted anything with the option of cereal or cereal. The brunette gives a light chuckle and then another nod as she herself rises from the couch she'd been on.
"Yeah, sounds good. I don't suppose you guys might have some coffee?" She asks hopefully, knowing that it would definitely help.

Fayte nodded, she was pretty sure they had coffee.
She exited the living room and rounded a corner into the kitchen. The kitchen was not visible from the living room, and she figured that the guest would probably wait in the living room rather than follow her into the kitchen. She brought out the bowls and set them on the counter along with a bag of cheap-o cereal and milk.
She wished she could get a job, even with the high hiring rates in the city they wont take a 16 year old with no job experience like her. She checked the cupboard for the Coffee, finding it with ease and taking it out. She was preparing the cereal when her elbow bumped into the opened milk, sending it off the edge it was already too close to. She squeaked in surprise before reaching for it, but her hand missed the handle of the milk. Despite her failure to grab, the gallon of milk had stopped in mid air, along with the contents that were spilling out stopping and merely floating there. It was as if it were defying gravity.
Fayte quickly realized what she was doing, and motioned her hand upwards and the milk suddenly flung itself into her hand with the suspended spilled contents rushing inside of it.

Katelyn watched as Fayte gave a nod and then made her way out of the living room area, presumeably heading to the kitchen. She remains for a couple moments as she yawns again and then stretches a bit in an attempt to shake off her fatigue. Then after a minute or so she follows, her bare feet padding silently on the wood floor and making barely a noise, not that she was trying to sneak.
When she reaches the door, Katelyn opened her mouth to give Fayte a warning as she catches sight of the little mishap that was about to happen, but the milk is knocked off the counter before she could get a word out. Then as she watches the event happen, her eyes widen in surprise and then go alight with the realization that Fayte was most definitely as different as she was, just in another way given her apparent powers as Katelyn's gaze follows the floating milk as it returns to the container.
"Wicked." She finds herself blurting out before she's able to stop herself. "Guess we have a bit more in common than both of us being orphans then?" She adds with a smile aimed at Fayte, glad that maybe she already had a friend her age that had powers like she did.

Fayte turned around sharply to see that Katelyn had seen her little adventure with the jug of milk. Her eyes were wide as she quickly spoke when Katelyn was finished talking, "Uh...yeah..." she chuckled nervously.
Shit, what had she done now? When had Katelyn even gotten in here? She could feel her heart beating in her chest as she panicked. She had been trying to keep this a secret from the entire gang, and sometimes the power just went and did its own thing like that. She had a sneaking suspicion that they would find out eventually but the newbie? This was not good.
"Don't tell Leon. Or Tobias. Or Anybody!" she begged, her eyes pleading the other girl to keep quiet about this little secret of Fayte's.
She didn't know how Leon would react to her having these abilities, what if he brought her on one of his stupid heists and expected her to deflect bullets or something? She couldn't do that! If anything she'd probably end up making all the guns explode out of pressure.
