Katelyn quickly found herself taken aback by the panicked response from Fayte upon her realization that she had seen the blonde's use of telekinesis or whatever it was, and she blinks a couple times as the other girl was suddenly begging her not to say anything about it to Leon or anyone else.
"Uh, yeah sure. No problem." The brunette replies quickly, not wanting the other girl to stress out too much over it, though she is unsure as to why the blonde would become so desperate so quickly. "I grew up around mafiosos so I can do the code of silence thing. You don't want the others to know, then they aint gonna hear it from me."
She went silent for a couple moments and makes her way over to the table and sits down, keeping her gaze aimed towards Fayte the entire time.
"Why are you afraid of Leon finding out?" She asks softly, now wondering if it was a good idea to have agreed to join his little gang so quickly. If he went back on allowing her to leave if it suited her, she still wasn't even completely sure what abilities the man had, or how powerful. What if he decided that Katelyn's powers were too useful to him to let her go?

Fayte finished putting together the breakfast, not using her abilities even though the girl knew about them. There was still Parker and Fayte was still highly uncomfortable with using them around other people. She took a deep breath as Kate asked her why she was so upset about Leon with this power.
"I'm not exactly here of my own will, this is literally the only place I can go unless I want to sleep on the streets. I don't want anything to do with those Red Rhinos or whatever his stupid gang is called. He's already saying that i'm a part of it, but I'm not quite one for the criminal life," she admitted. Fayte likely would have worded it a bit harsher to any other person, but she didn't harbor any anger or frustration towards her, so Fayte was more polite about her wording.
"If he found out he'd be dragging me along on those stupid little robberies or whatever and I don't want that kind of life..." The psychic paused for a moment, looking around the kitchen and checking up the stairs in case Parker happened to be awake or overhear her. She had been talking in a quiet whisper, just in case...

Katelyn settled herself comfortably down at the table, one of her elbows resting atop the surface so she could hold her chin in the palm of her hand while she listened to Fayte's answer, which after hearing it all allows Katelyn to achieve a state of higher wakefulness. She also feels a bit of dismay fill her at the claim from the blonde that she wasn't here of her own will, and that Leon seemed intent on making her be a part of his gang without giving her a choice.
"He... he didn't kidnap you, did he?" She asks, already a bit in doubt that it was anything so bad or likely Fayte would have found a way to escape. Still the whole thing now has Katelyn rapidly rethinking her decision to accept Leon's offer. She proceeded to lower her voice before continuing. "I only agreed cause like I said I didn't have much in the way of other options but if he's holding you prisoner here... Hell with that, we should both go."

Fayte paused for a moment, suddenly realizing what Katelyn hadn't understood what she had meant.
"Oh nonono!" She spoke quickly with a nervous laugh, "I meant it more in the form of I don't have any other choice. I could leave, but I don't have anywhere to go or any job. My grandmother kind of just dumped me here, and with how crime rates are I don't think I'd last the nights even with..ah, you know..." she clarified, "It's just better to stay with a bunch of idiots in a rickety house than to be homeless and alone on the streets, you know?" she figured that Katelyn should get it, since that was the reasoning she had accepted Leon's offer anyways.
"He's not that kind of guy from what i've seen...if anything he's just a big man-child that throws a fit every now and then we he doesn't get what he wants," she added on, almost as if a bit annoyed, "I honestly don't know how he survived in New York like that," she shook her head in disbelief. When she had first seen Leon and learned he was a criminal she had expected the full mafia pack like this girl had said she was from. She was expecting a hostage in the junkyard almost everyday undergoing extreme torture, but it seemed like things were more of Leon shouting at the other boys on a daily basis with Shellie occasionally stopping by to hang out.

"Oh." Katelyn let out and felt her sudden inner-tension dissapate as Fayte corrected her misjudged conclusion as to the blonde's reasons for being here. "Okay then, yeah pretty much the same as me then." she adds in regards to the lack of desire to be homeless.
She relaxes herself back into the chair at the table to listen as Fayte gives her a bit of a run down of how Leon was normally, thankful for the information with how much the man already had been able to find out about Katelyn in regards to her identity, powers and past. The knowledge would be useful in the future should Leon ever get to be too much or turn on her, though she hopes that sort of thing didn't come to pass.
"Luck would be my guess by the way you've described him." Katelyn replies to Fayte's open ended question of how the man had managed to survive in the NY Crime scene. "Or maybe protection from one of the five families there, who knows?"

Fayte shrugged, taking one of the bowls of cereal and using a spoon to scoop up a bite. She could hear the faint rumble of a motorbike grow as it neared the lot, "Looks like Shellie's home," she commented. The motorbike rumbling ceased before the front door was opened and a tall and much older looking woman entered the kitchen. She wore a dark windbreaker with long sleek jeans that were topped off with boots that were likely stolen from somewhere.
The woman paused, staring at Katelyn before looking to Fayte, which was a first since she usually ignored the younger blonde entirely. Shellie pointed to Katelyn with a twitch of disgust on her face, "Who's this? Did Leon say you could have friends over?"
Fayte stared back at Shellie, a bit shocked by the rude comment. She hadn't ever really spoken to Shellie, at all actually. Why so rude?
"She's a new member..." Fayte explained.
"Didn't know Leon was THAT desperate..." The girl looked Katelyn up and down for a moment, as if sizing her up, "Honestly I when I joined I thought there'd be less whiney teenagers," she huffed.

When Fayte put one of the two bowls of cereal upon the table and began to eat from the other, Katelyn leaned forward and grabbed hold of the edge of the bowl to drag it around the old and slightly rusted crowbar that was laying on the surface. As she begins to eat, Katelyn looks up and back to Fayte at the sound of a motorbike outside and closing in, then gives a nod when the blonde stated it must be that Shellie woman. She remembered Leon mentioning her in the car on the way over and gives a nod before turning her attention back to eating for a few more moments.
Then 'Shellie' enters and the entire mood changes in the room as Katelyn looks over to find a finger pointing at her accusingly as the new blonde addresses her hopefully now-friend and demands answers for Katelyn's presence. She stares back at Shellie as she hears Fayte's reply and then narrows her eyes at the belittling remarks against herself and the description of bother herself and Fayte as whiny teenagers. While Fayte might have a desire to keep her powers a secret, Katelyn found herself with no such reservations and her hands abandon the bowl and spoon to grab hold of the crowbar.
She doesn't get up from her seat or make any movement to attack, but instead twists the crowbar into a near pretzel before tossing it to the floor between herself and Shellie.
"Hey bitch, untangle that and then you can call me a whiny teenager, sound fair?" The brunette snarls, immediately finding an intense dislike for the older woman. "Oh and if you saw the state of the Mustang out front, that was from Leon hitting me going ninety last night. I've even killed two people back in Jersey, still wanna mess with me?"
Katelyn doesn't wait for a reply before turning back to her cereal and continues eating, now paying no attention to the woman but gives a wink to Fayte when she looks up and over at the other teen a moment later, somehow knowing that Shellie wouldn't be able to undo her work on the crowbar.

Fayte watched as Katelyn calmly reached over for the crowbar on the table, then proceeded to bend it into a nice little pretzel. Her eyes flicked to Shellie's face and had to suppress a laugh at her shocked face as the metal-snack was tossed to the ground in front of her. While her laughter was a bit weaker as Kate admitted to killing two people in her home turf, it was silenced as Shellie began to glare at the newcomer.
Shellie spoke, "If you're going to brag about the amount of people you've killed come back when you have a full hit list. I've killed more than you could probably count, i'd also show a bit more respect to your elders if I were you-"
"Can we please stop bragging about the amount of people we killed?" Fayte smiled nervously, hoping for this conversation to end. She was not one to approve the killing of lives, especially if it was something to brag about. She earned another glare from Shellie.
"Where's Leon?" She demanded.
"He went to go get something with Tobias and Lance, don't know what," Fayte responded.
"Well then, since he's not here that means i'm in charge," Shellie spoke, making her way towards the cupboard to see what was inside.
"I'm pretty sure he'd rather leave the Twins in charge," Fayte mumbled just loud enough for Shellie to hear, taking another bite. She couldn't believe how rude Shellie was suddenly being. What had gotten up her ass?
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that," Was the response.

When Shellie begins to rant following Katelyn's words, the New Jersean native turns to look at the woman again, now adopting a bored look and more or less dismissing the older blonde as even a mild threat as a glance down to the twisted piece of metal still on the floor shows her that Shellie hasn't even tried.
"Now who's whining and desperate to be of relevant use for Leon's gang?" Katelyn snipes back at the same time that Fayte makes the request that they not compare body counts. She gives a look and a nod to the other teen for a moment. "Yeah, sorry Fayte." She apologizes and then turns back to Shellie briefly. "Maybe if you were getting the job done right as Leon needs, he wouldn't have been so overly eager to get me to join. And as far your no-doubt impressive accomplishments, you've outdone a child halfway through high school at what, thirty? ... Bravo."
She gives Shellie a short, mocking clap and then pays no further attention to the woman following this, falling silent and eating her cereal as she listens to the other two converse between themselves for a few moments. When she hears Fayte's quiet comment, she can't help but chuckle a bit, starting to enjoy herself for the first time in days.
"Couple well placed slaps to the head at a third of my strength and I can help her not hear anything ever again." She mutters under her breath for Fayte's amusement, probably too low for Shellie to hear.

"Watch your mouth young lady," Shellie snarled, closing the cupboard before shooting another glare towards the two and leaving the room. She slammed the door behind her, and Fayte got the feeling that she and Katelyn had made an enemy. She figured Shellie wouldn't really do anything about it other than just act sour towards them, at least while she was in alliance with Leon.
"Sorry about that, I didn't know she was such a b*tch..." Fayte apologized to Katelyn.
"I don't usually hang around here in the day and i'm asleep at night, so I don't really know much about her other than she lives outside of the junkyard," she explained. She finished her cereal and wondered what she was even going to do today. Usually she'd be out job hunting, but she did not really have anything to do today.
"So, do you have any clothes of your own or something? Do you need to go and get some more?" she asked. She figured she had about enough to get this girl some of her own clothes. She kind of did not want to share all of her wardrobe with another person, she barely had a wardrobe in the first place.

Katelyn bit back a giggle at how easy it had been to get under the skin of the bitchy woman and then rolled her eyes at the response and abrupt departure of the older blonde from the room. As the door slams shut behind Shellie, Katelyn sticks her tongue out in distaste after her and then shakes her head chuckling as she turns back to Fayte and gives a shrug in reply to the other teenager as she apologizes for the other blonde.
"It's all good, dealt with far worse from my stepmom and that was before I got powers." Katelyn assures her (hopefully) friend with another shrug, not all too worried about the woman trying anything against her. "Though she did kinda of remind me of Janice.. maybe they're related."
She gives a nod of understanding and feels a bit of relief when Fayte tells her that thankfully Shellie didn't even live at the junkyard, decided for the good of the older blonde to make herself scarce when she was around. She'd always disliked bullies and now that she could snap a UFC fighter in half without breaking a sweat, didn't quite trust herself to not retaliate if the older blonde was to even try putting her hands on her for what had just been said.
When Fayte asks about whether she had clothes of her own or if she would need to go get some, Katelyn adopts a sheepish look and briefly glances out the window at the Mustang still parked outside before turning back to Fayte with a short nod in confirmation to the second. "Well I did have the clothes I came in with.. had a bag with a couple changes but I don't think Leon or the other two grabbed it after my failed game of Frogger with the Mustang... so yeah. If you know of any discount stores or something nearby, I got probably about fifty bucks left in my wallet." She adds and then pauses for a moment before finishing with "We should probably move that car before anyone else sees it and thinks someone got killed with it last night... plus I really don't wanna have to explain to any cops about exactly how my blood got splattered all over the hood."

"I could take you to one," Fayte spoke up, "I can't drive though, I haven't gotten my liscence for obvious reasons so we'd probably have to walk a bit out before calling a cab or something."
She placed her bowl in the sink before rinsing it with some water, speaking as she did so, "I might have some cash in my room too, I occasionally manage to get a job every now and then but it's kind of difficult to keep a job around here if you don't already have a good history with them."
Fayte remembered her last job, she had quit from that one. It was a job at a simple Hubway, make a sandwhich, give it to the next person in the line. Easy, right? That was until the manager wanted her to start overcharging people without their knowledge. Needless to say, he didn't get one over-charged sandwhich in with her at the cashier.
"That and people keep expecting me to be in High School and think i'm some lazy drop out whenever I tell them i'm not." She explained.

"That sounds fine, I'm used to walking anyways." Katelyn replies with a smile and then takes the last bite of her cereal as the blond speaks again, mentioning the lack of having a license. "Yeah I don't have mine either yet, would have had my test in a couple weeks if I didn't have to leave Jersey but all's good."
She gets up as Fayte washes her bowl out and keeps speaking, explaining about past jobs of legitimacy that she had worked, and the brunette moves around the table with her own bowl and puts it in the sink as well before leaning against the counter next to the sink as she listened to the blonde continue speaking.
"Leon let you drop out?" Katelyn asks with a bit of surprise, figuring that if the other girl was trying to keep out of crime that she would be at least trying to continue her education. Hell even as willing as Katelyn herself was to jump head-first into that life, she still intended to somehow get her diploma at least, even if she had to take online courses or whatever. "Well screw what other people think, right? They probably didn't do much better and judge you for their own embarassment of their personal failings."
Katelyn pauses for a moment and casts a quick look to the door that Shellie had exited through a bit before. "Hey uh, what I said before about killing two people, that was self defence. I'm not psycho or anything, so hopefully I haven't scared you away from the idea that we could be friends..." She says with a slight nervousness in her tone.

"I was kind of forced to drop out of my previous high school when my mother passed away, I went to my grandmothers expecting to stay there but she kind of just dropped me here and Leon hasn't tried anything to sign me up for a High School, though with his reputation it would probably just end in both of us getting arrested. I don't think Leon even went to high school himself? I'd certainly be surprised if he did."
She responded to Katelyn before she spoke about the two guys she had killed. Fayte found herself extremely relieved that it was only self defense, "No, we can be friends!" she said rather quickly. This was the first female she had met that she enjoyed the company of since she had entered the city, why wouldn't she want to be friends with her? OTher than the whole in a gang with that man-child thing, but that could be overlooked! Hell maybe she could even coax Katelyn away from that kind of lifestyle!
She continued, "Sh*t happens, and sometimes there's just no other way out, it's understandable...Shellie on the other hand I think her job before this was a hitwoman and-"
There was the shuffle of footsteps and a teenage boy shuffled his way into the room. It was Parker. He seemed to be mumbling something about noisy girls before reaching for the fridge for something to drink. Fayte had instinctively stopped talking as the boy shuffled into the kitchen. The boy glanced to Katelyn, staring for a moment before dismissing her presence and returning to the upstairs with a handful of cereal.
"And that was Parker..." Faye spoke, a bit surprised by the boy's sudden appearance.

Katelyn felt immense relief fill her that she hadn't ruined her chances at having Fayte as a friend, especially since the blonde was the only one as yet that Katelyn had been able to confirm was somewhat like her in being more than human. When Fayte speaks again to acknowledge that sometimes people had to do things they wouldn't normally when backed into a corner, she gives a slight nod of agreement but deep down Kate knew she could kill again if she had to. Powers or no powers it was in her blood.
She gives another nod when Fayte goes on to explain a bit about Shellie's past and the likelihood that the bitchy woman had been a hitwoman prior before suddenly going silent, and then Katelyn looked away and over to one of the entryways as another teenage boy who must be the twin of the one who'd been awestuck by Katelyn's earlier mention of being super-strong back in the car.
She gives him a small wave of greeting as he comes further in, mumbling under his breath about something or other, but gets no response other than a brief and silent look after she lets her hand fall back to her side, so isn't even sure he'd seen or not. Then he's gone back out the way he came with some food and she glances back to Fayte as the blonde speaks again, introducing the boy in a sorts as Parker.
"He looked hungover, I kinda feel for him. Ain't a fun morning after." She replies, having had a night or two where she'd drank herself near-stupid as a poor way to try and cope with her actions during the hostage situation, not to mention the trauma of having to come to terms that she'd survived what should have been a fatal gunshot to the chest in the process of discovering that she could heal rapidly. "Maybe we should wait for Leon to get back before going for clothes? I mean I wouldn't want him to get pissed if he came back and finds us both gone.. Probably could get him to pay for it even, he does owe me big for running me over."
