Sinclair nodded in understanding, about the creature, "We wont let that thing get anyone, trust me. Electrical pulses force it into that semi-solid state, so we have it hooked up to a machine that sends one to it every few minutes to it's incapable of even transforming," Sincair attempted to reassure the girl.
"I'll go get her then," she spoke up, "I need to go make sure Victor had eaten real quick though, the man starves himself sometimes for the sake of his research. If you need anything just get a housekeeper and they'll take care of you or get me," she explained.
She left the room, nodding to Fayte the 'ok' to go in.
Fayte entered the room, Sinclair leaving. This was good, she could talk about certain things while she was gone. She entered the room, relieved to see that Kate was alive and somewhat well. She figured that Katelyn would be seeing a fully recovery save for the hand. She wanted to tackle the girl in a hug, but settled for a more calm and collected one instead considering the state of her friend.
"I'd ask what the hell happened to you and if you're okay, but I already know the gist of it," Fayte spoke suppressing a nervous laugh, "But explain to me anyways since I only know bits and pieces," she requested.

Katelyn wasn't entirely sure how she felt about the treatment the creature would be receiving regularly scheduled electroshocks to keep it under control. It seemed a bit.. inhumane, even though she felt no small amount of bitterness over losing her hand to it. She worried that all it was going to do in the end was make the thing more and more rageful as it's hunger grew.
Kate shakes herself out of her thoughts a moment later as Sinclair tells her that she would go get Fayte for her, and adds that she would have to go see to her husband, instructing her to contact a housekeeper if she needed anything. The sixteen year old gives a nod and then speaks up once more before the scientist departs.
"You should find a way to feed it if possible, maybe an animal or something... I think that's what it wants more than anything, except to escape anyways.." She says as Sinclair goes, and then Fayte joined her in the room and Kate fixes her friend with a light but tired smile as she hears her greeting and nervous laugh, obviously relieved to have found her.
"Uh, well... It's a kind of a long story." Kate replies to her friend's question as to the events of the past few days. "I'm mostly okay. Had a bit of a misunderstanding with the blonde that just left and her husband a few days ago, but we managed to sort everything out."
Kate spends the next half-hour or so explaining as much as she could, though doesn't know much of what had happened since she'd been asleep. She explains about the alleyway, waking up in the cell and meeting the creature, her missing hand, and then the battle in the prisoner area. She saves telling Fayte about the offer Sinclair had made her for the end.
"So after everything, I think I want to stay here, and while I hadn't mentioned you by name at the time in not fully trusting them yet, Sinclair said she would let you stay too..." She finishes with. "I mean if you want to. I like Leon well enough, but having to steal just to eat and all that stuff.. I don't know if it's for me, and Sinclair said she could help me get back into school and stuff. I dunno... It just seems like a better deal, for both of us."

Fayte was surprised be the news of the offer, someone was actually offering to take care of them? Fayte was also surprised at the mention of school. She had to be honest, she thought that she'd never hear from that place ever again. She was kind of glad to though, she actually missed having something to do every day.
She was also thrilled to hear that the stealing life just wasn't for Katelyn, her friend was actually considering going straight! Fayte nodded, "That does sound like a pretty awesome deal..."
"Definitely much easier than trying to smuggle a can of beans out of a grocery store," she attempted to joke around with a poor joke. She figured her friend needed some kind of laugh after all she had been through, but Faye was not exactly the one to come up with good ones right on the spot.
"I'm sure Leon wont get upset about it...as long as, you know, tell him where you've been, you're not dead, and that you're leaving. I kind of haven't been telling him anything, and he thinks someone like that guy from the clothing store attacked and he's probably expecting a ransom or something to come to him sooner or later..." While Fayte would have rather left the man in the dark, she did not want to ruin the relationship between those two for the sake of her own disliking for the man.

Katelyn gave a small smile and nod of agreement to Fayte's comment about the deal sounding awesome. "Yeah, it does." She says softly, then her gaze falls briefly to her stumped off wrist laying at her side, and she raises it slightly to get a closer look, glad that it at least healed over nicely, her creamy flesh now covering the flat end. "I think Sinclair feels a bit responsible for my loss, but she's been really nice about everything, even when they thought I was a dangerous criminal."
She gives another nod and chuckles dryly as Fayte speaks again to note that the deal sounded easier than their current arrangement living at the junkyard, and lets her stump fall back down to the mattress at her side. She listens to the other teen continue to speak, giving a couple more nods of understanding and agreement.
"Yeah I hope not to run into that leecher dude again anytime soon either, though after the creature he ain't nearly as scary a threat." She replies to her friend's comments, and then nods yet again. "Yeah I should, I would have to go back to the junkyard to get my stuff.. Your's too if you want to come with.."
Kate hopes her friend would join her, she didn't want to just abandon her for this offer of a real chance at a fresh start.

"Hell yeah i'm coming with," Fayte spoke up almost immediately, "I'm not staying with dumbass, Dumn n' Dumber, Addict, and Bitchface any longer than I have to."
"I saw it though, the thing that took your hand. They did not show it to me, but I kind of saw it taking your hand. I guess I can apparently see a bit into the future now...or stuff that's happening elsewhere. Not too sure which yet. It's the first time something like this happened to me," she admitted, "Kind of how I found you as well so that's useful."
Fayte did not like the looks of that thing of goo, it was strange, foreign, and it seemed to have a hunger for human flesh and bone. She hoped she would not have to see it, and hoped to everything holy that the houseowners knew how to keep that thing locked down and contained. Fayte was almost fine with allowing it to be killed if it was just going to be a danger to everything around it.

Kate's small smile grew considerably as Fayte tells her without pause that she was fully on-board with joining Katelyn in her decision to stay with the Remingtons, giggling just slightly at the nicknames she had for the junkyard crew, though herself had no real problem with them except for Shellie and maybe the creepy looking one.
She blinks a couple times in surprise to the blonde's revelation that she was apparently now precognitive, and then gives a nod when Fayte tells her that she'd even witnessed Kate losing her hand to the creature in a vision, and then later used her new power in helping to find her here.
"Yeah that definitely sounds like a handy ability... Kinda wish you'd been able to see it before it happened, but what can yah do." Kate replies, repressing a shudder at the memory of how it had all gone down. "Oh well. Anyways, Sinclair said she might be able to help me get a cybernetic replacement so I won't be a cripple, so there's that at least. I'll be like that Bionic Woman from the tv show and shit."
She pauses for a moment and then motions for her friend to come closer, wanting to give her a hug for caring enough to come looking for her.
"I'm glad you came." She says, choking up a little as a couple stray tears roll down the sides of her face, but not of sadness.

Fayte complied with the gestures for a hug, and gave her friend a hug. Once they were done, Fayte spoke, "So, when do you think you're going to be up and at it? I could go grab your stuff for you at the Junkyard if you like though if you don't want to go," she offered.
The teenager was excited for this new chapter of her life, she'd be able to go back to school! She'd have real food! She'd have a real bed and a real room! She would not have to put up with Shellie, she wouldn't have to put up with Leon's tantrums, not even the twin's obsession with exploding things! She wouldn't have to be surrounded by criminals.
It seemed that Sinclair returned, the door opened just as Fayte finished talking.
"You two doing alright?" Sinclair asked, checking up on the two and making sure Fayte still wasn't a bad person even though Katelyn had asked to see her.
Meanwhile Victor had become frustrated with Kin's biology and genetics, and has resorted to poking him with a stick. Effectively learning that Kin is capable of absorbing or eating wood and plant life, along with the fact that Kin is omnivorous and doesn't eat just meat.

Kate pushed herself up to sit fully upright as Fayte came over, and for a long moment the two friends embraced eachother, though Kate only uses her complete arm in the hug, not wanting to gross the blonde out by touching her with her stump. When they pull apart and Fayte speaks up, offering to retrieve Kate's stuff from the junkyard if she didn't want to go herself.
"Nah, it's all good. I can go with you to get everything." Kate replies, shaking her head in the negative in response to the blonde teen's offer. "Doesn't seem right for me to just leave without saying good bye to Leon and thanking him for giving me a place to stay for a few days. I should be able to get around fine, the creature didn't eat my legs or nothing... so yeah."
Just about then, Sinclair returns to check in on them, asking if the pair of teenage girls were alright, and Kate turns away from Fayte to give a smile and a nod to the older of the blondes. "Yeah, we're all good. Just catching up on the past few days and whatnot, and getting my.. our stuff out from where we were living before.. I mean if it's cool still that Fayte can stay too. She's the friend I mentioned before that could use a better place."

Fayte looked to the older woman, watching her nod, "Oh sure!" she had responded with.
The younger blonde was a bit unsure of what to do now, Katelyn probably still needed a bit more rest. Fayte figured that she could probably go pack up as well, but that would take only a moment with her psychic abilities. She looked to Sinclair, and nodded her thanks to the woman.
"Anyways, it's probably best that you rest a bit more until you're feeling more like yourself and then we can get a check-up in the medical room in case there's any abnormalities we should be concerned about. Your abilities seemed to have done most of the work already, but we can't figure out more about it until it becomes more cooperative. With how things are currently I don't think that will ever happen," Sinclair sighed, a bit bummed out that they had such an extraordinary thing in their hands and yet they could not do anything with it.
Fayte kept quiet as talk of the strange goo creature rose once more. She almost kind of wanted to see it for herself, but most of her just wanted to stay as far away from it as possible.
"If you want to watch television or something," Sinclair started, hitting a button next to the light switch that caused a panel to open in the ceiling and lower a flatscreen television, "There's the tele, remotes are in the dresser next to you."
Fayte's jaw dropped slightly at the strange entrance of the television, did every room in the house have that? Just how much money did these people have? She closed her gaping mouth, not wanting to look stupid.

Katelyn's smile grew as Sinclair lets both of the teenagers know that the earlier offer still stood, and that Fayte could stay as well. She was especially glad for that since Kate hadn't been completely sure she would stay herself if Sinclair rejected her friend. Then at the suggestion from the older blonde that Kate should probably get more rest, the brunette gives a small nod of agreement and then found herself yawning a little as she lowered herself to her previous half-sitting position with her back propped against the pillows.
She gives a nod after hearing the rest of Sinclair's words about having Kate come back to the medical room a bit later on for an examination to ensure there would be no lasting issues, either with her stump wound or having been electrocuted brutally.
"Yeah, alright." Kate says with a now tired voice and stifles another yawn behind her remaining hand, the fact that she'd not had natural sleep in days beginning to catch up to her. She then gives a slight shrug to the comment about things settling down and the unlikelyhood of that happening anytime soon. "I'm used to the chaos of life, even before I had powers, I can't really remember a time where my life could be defined as 'everyday normal'." She adds, making reference to what she'd told both Sinclair and before her Fayte, in regards to her having grown up around an organized crime family.
When Sinclair mentions the tv and then hits something on the wall, Kate's eyes widen comically as the flatscreen comes down out of the ceiling.
"Whoa.." She murmurs out, and then finds herself laughing lightly before speaking in a voice that is clearly growing more and more tired. "Yup.. I think I'm gonna like it here."
A couple moments later, her eyes flutter shut as the tv turns on, and with the last of her wakefulness, she speaks once more to Fayte. "Please don't leave.."
She's asleep before she gets an answer, her light snores starting up but mostly drowned out by the television's volume of whatever it was Fayte decided to watch while waiting for her to wake up again.

Fayte decided to stay as Katelyn mutters about not leaving, though she was a bit clueless as to why Katelyn wanted her to stay so badly. She shrugged and sat in a chair that had been provided by one of the house's staff. They all seemed very nice at the least, though she hoped she could opt out on them coming into her room once she had one. Privacy was something Fayte had become increasingly used to since her mother had passed away.
She flicked on the television, it was defaulted to a news channel. She decided against watching that, and instead mindlessly flipped through the channels in search of something interesting. She eventually landed on a reality show about some restaurants of questionable quality going through makeovers and bettering themselves. Having nothing better to watch, she settled for that.
Sinclair had left the room, deciding to leave the two girls there and check up on Victor. To her surprise, Victor was really excited about something.
"Claira I think I found a better way to feed it," he said, opening the jar to show her. The electrocution had just recently pulsated through the creature, meaning it was impossible for it to leap out. Victor took a part of a tree branch from outside, and dropped it into the goo before closing the lid. The twig landed on the goo, and slowly melted into it.
"It can take plants too?" Sinclair spoke aloud even though the answer was obvious.
"If we can get it to calm down, maybe it'll actually speak to us. It said it didn't like eating us in the footage, so maybe we could communicate with it better after we're not, you know, accidentally starving it," Victor explained.
Sinclair nodded, "Interesting..." she mused, staring at the jar of goo and wondering just what the hell this thing was.
--
Hours later, it was getting to be around noon now. Fayte had already called Leon and told him that she had found Katelyn, however she did not reveal her location and simply told Leon to just wait for them at the Junkyard and that everything was fine. Faye was now simply waiting for Katelyn to wake up, now watching some show about interviews with victims of Death Master. Her stomach turned at the memory, she had been one of the ones to get the disease. It made her sick just thinking about how close to death she had become.
She heard some movements from Katelyn, "You up?" she whispered, getting a bit bored with television.

Her hours asleep had surprisingly been completely devoid of the nightmares that had tormented her over the past few days while she'd been comatose, instead Katelyn found herself with a couple far more calming dreams. The ending of one that she remembered vividly has her blinking in shock a couple of times as her eyes snap open and she takes in the sight of Fayte watching the television. Internally questioning herself, Katelyn was pretty sure she was straight but the content of the dream had her a bit shaken up as to certainty.
Was she... attracted to Fayte? Was she gay?
Those two questions were bouncing around her head, and she closed her eyes again after a moment, not wanting to 'creep' on her friend. Kate was conflicted about her feelings though, and she was glad Fayte had stayed. Barring everything in her previous thoughts, Katelyn found a sense of calm with the other teenager around, and figured it was maybe from Fayte having saved her ass from the leecher.
She twitches her foot a little to draw Fayte's attention to the fact she was 'waking' and then after the blonde had spoken to ask if Kate was awake, she let her eyes drift open again and gives a nod.
"Y-y-yeah." Katelyn replied with a slight yawn, then braces her stump and hand against the mattress and forces herself to sit fully upright again. pulling the sheets back to find herself dressed in a pair of thin sweatpants and a plain green tee-shirt. Sinclair or one of them must have changed her out of her bloodied clothes at some point, or perhaps they'd caught fire during her desperate bid to take down the creature. "How long was I out?" She asks after another moment, and reaches up to rub at her eyes with her hand.

"Centuries, i'm actually Faye's great great great granddaughter," Fayte joked, turning the television down further so it did not distract her before providing a serious answer, "Few hours, not too long. Feeling better?" She asked.
She didn't know how much longer she'd be able to wait there if Katelyn had continued sleeping. The Death Master Interviews were making her a bit uncomfortable anyways, so she was relieved to be drawn away from it even though she could have just changed the channel. She leaned back on the chair, kind of tired from sitting as well, she was used to being up and on the go, not sitting around doing nothing. She figured she'd probably have to get used to it though if she was going to be sent to school via Sinclair though.
"I called Leon and told him you were alive and I knew where you were, that way he doesn't go around flipping his shit at both of us suddenly disappearing on him. Didn't tell him where though or what happened. He wasn't too happy about it but he's just going to have to deal with it." she explained.

Kate's still waking mind had a bit of trip and she found her eyes widening for half a second before she realized Fayte was just kidding, and a moment later the blonde confirms that it had only been a few hours as Kate chuckles lightly at the teasing. Given everything that had happened thus far since Kate's arrival in Reighs City, she couldn't really say it would be out of the realm of possibility that something like that might happen. Hell for all she knew, her regenerative healing might keep Kate alive long enough for her to actually meet the descendant of Fayte's that her friend had jokingly claimed to be.
"Yeah, I think I'm good." Katelyn replies with a nod and a smile, the latter of which fades a bit as she glances down and catches sight of her stump. "Well.. mostly."
She still was trying to fully come to terms with it, everything before had happened so fast and chaotic, that Kate had had no time to really grip the reality that her hand wasn't coming back, even if she had acknowledged she hadn't accepted it. In the end she decides that at least she was alive, and would learn to deal with this new.. situation, just as she had with every other big change in her life.
Kate forces herself out of her thoughts as she hears Fay speaking again and looks up toward her friend. While listening to the blonde speak, she shifts her legs off to the side of the bed and scoots her ass over as well until her feet are on the floor. She keeps her gaze on her friend the entire time she spoke, and gives a nod.
"I did make Leon promise I could leave at any time, you don't think he'll try and stop both of us going together though, do you?"

Fayte thought about it for a moment, before finally shaking her head, "Nah, I don't think he'd care too much. He may have that stupid little goal of his, but I think he's just in it more to entertain himself than be serious about it. If he was serious he would be taking in members a bit more often and actively be beating people to a pulp,"
She shrugged however, "Though he is pretty unpredictable. If he does flip out he can't exactly stop us and I don't think he's the type to chase after unless we've done something pretty serious." This was all based off of what Fayte knew about the Red Lion, she had not really spent all that long with the man, and she didn't want to either. If she needed to, she'd be perfectly fine with just abandoning her stuff there and starting from scratch.
She wondered what high school would be like, she had never been able to actually go to one before though she should technically have at least two years under her belt by now or so. Fayte remained seated, only going to stand when Katelyn either asks her to leave or begins standing herself.
