As Fayte spoke up again, Kate listened and used her hand to brush her hair back on both side of her head. She gives a nod, not having been able to figure some of Leon's reasoning herself as far as wanting to be a feared gangster but not much wanting to get his hands too dirty. While Katelyn wasn't one with a want to go around harassing and hurting random people, she wasn't sure how he planned to achieve a reputation of respect and/or notority if he didn't go after whatever enemies he had. In the end Kate decides it didn't matter, since she wouldn't be sticking around after all. She hoped for their parting of the ways with Leon and the gang to go smoothly, but it was happening one way or another and she prayed that it wouldn't end violently if Leon got possessive, wanting the powers that she and Fayte possessed under his thumb.
"Well here's to hoping he stays calm then, I guess." Kate remarks with an uncertain tone, and then pushes up off the bed. Her expression turns into one of concentration as her legs wobble slightly beneath her and Kate then takes a cautionary step forward, testing herself and then feeling relief fill her when she's able to remain upright. The teenage felt weak as hell, but at least wasn't feeling dizzy or nauseous. Being electrocuted so badly had just taken a lot out of her and she guessed it would likely be at least another day or two until she was back at full strength.
"Did Sinclair or anyone else come by while I was sleeping?" She asks, wondering if Vic had shown his face to check on her, still feeling a bit on edge and uncertain if either she or Fayte was really welcome here in his eyes, though she holds these thoughts to herself.

"Just some servants, asking if I needed anything is all," Fayte spoke up, standing up and preparing to catch Katelyn as she steadied herself in case she fell. Once Kate was good to go...well, Fayte did not know what to do now. Should they go get their stuff? Find Mrs. Sinclair?
Faye opened the door, catching a housekeeper walking by with a tray of cleaning supplies. She requested that Sinclair come by, since Fayte did not exactly know where she was or even know her way around this big-ass mansion. She wondered just how big this thing was anyways?
The teenager waited, and Sinclair appeared before them.
"Need anything?" Sinclair asked.
"We need a ride to go pick up our stuff," Fayte explained.
However Sinclair's expression was not what Fayte was expecting. It was a look of quite a bit of concern as she looked to Katelyn, "Are you sure? You should probably wait a bit and get used to walking before you go..."

Katelyn gave a nod as she turned to face her blonde friend as the other girl spoke in reply to her question, saying that only a couple of the servants had been by. As Fayte moves to the door and asks one of the passing housekeepers to find Sinclair, Kate takes a couple more steps to the rear of the bed, taking sight of a fresh pair of shoes and socks that had been left there, and sits down again on the edge. She grabs up the socks and with a bit of effort manages to get them on her feet with a single hand.
By the time Sinclair gets there, she's sliding her covered feet into the shoes and then as she asks if they needed anything, Kate adopts a look of annoyance for a moment as she looks at the shoe's laces and realizes that was going to be a bit harder.
She looks up as Fayte asks Sinclair for a ride so they could retrieve their belongings, and when Sinclair's response is a concerned question about whether Kate even felt up to it. The brunette teen gives a slow nod, fairly sure she would be fine as far as the walking part.
"Yeah.. I think I'm okay now, aside from missing my hand and all." She says with half confidence, and then sheepishly looks back down at her untied shoes. "I think I might be needing that cybernetic thing you mentioned before soon, I don't think I'm gonna be able to get these laces tied with only one... God I feel like a child." She adds the last part with a nervous and slightly uncomfortable laugh.
She feels a bit of frustration over having to ask for help in something so simple to do, never having been one to need waiting on hand and foot, pardon the pun. Kate had always been pretty self-sufficient and felt uncomfortable with the full extent of limitations that her newly-acquired handicap forced on her.

Sinclair was already out the door when Katelyn was speaking, she was about to turn back when Fayte spoke up, "Either that or learn how to do it the one handed way, I got it don't worry though."
Fayte waited until Sinclair was incapable of seeing, and suddenly the laces were tied together in a manner of seconds on their own. She did not have to even bother bending down thanks to her psychic abilities.
The sly girl was always using her abilities when people weren't looking, though she disliked using them for the sake of normality and being treated like a normal person, she had to admit it was kind of cool to just lift things without even lifting a pinkie.
"Victor would come, but he made a bit of a breakthrough and is completely engrossed in his work," Sinclair explained the absence of the man before entering the car. She did not say exactly what though, having figured the thought of the creature eating would only bother Katelyn.
--
Sinclair came to a halt, they were still a bit away from the junkyard, "Here is fine," Fayte spoke up, "The people we lived with don't appreciate random people on their doorstep, a bit paranoid ever since Death Master," Fayte reasoned. That was one use of the horrible man, she could use him as an excuse for nearly anything.
The woman had nodded, "I'll be here, give me a ring if anything goes wrong."
Fayte exited the vehicle, and began the walk around the corner. They had stopped around a gas station, not the one that Leon had blown up, but one that was a bit closer to the junkyard.
"This is going to be interesting," Fayte spoke to Katelyn.

Katelyn threw Fay a smile of thanks after Sinclair had gone off to wait for them to come down and join her, and the other girl made quick work of Kate's shoes with the use of telekinesis. "Thanks." She had said and gave a nod to the comment before. "Yeah I don't want to be babied, I'm just still trying to figure it all out."
She gets up after and then follows Fayte and Sinclair through the house and downstairs, her movements slower than usual, but steady and soon enough all three of the women are getting into one of the Remingtons' cars. Kate chose the backseat, figuring it would allow Fayte to give Sinclair directions of where they needed to go. Having been unconscious when they'd brought her here, Kate had no clue how to get back to the junkyard or somewhere close to it from where they were parked at the mansion. Soon enough, the car is in motion and the brunette teen settles back against the comfortable seat.
----
A bit later Kate looked away from the side window where she'd been studying the route taken and more of the city's interesting looking locations that they had passed by, and her gaze falls to the front seat as Fayte speaks up. A moment later the car slows to a stop and Kate gives Sinclair a smile at her offer to come running to help if either of the girls needed it.
"Thanks Sin." She says softly and with gratitude in her tone, and then Katelyn opens the door and begins to follow after Fayte as they headed toward the junkyard. Coming up to walk side by side with the other girl, Katelyn has her stumped wrist shoved into the pocket of the jacket one of the maids had offered her as they'd been leaving. When Fayte comments that what they were about to do should turn out interesting, Kate gives her friend a sideways glances and nods slowly.
"I guess it will be, yeah. I just hope Shellie aint around, got a feeling she'll have a laugh at my.. condition if she sees, and I swear I'll knock her ass out if she says anything about it." Kate replies, continuing to keep pace with her friend as they near their soon-to-be former home.

Fate giggled, they were approaching the Junkyard. Almost as if to give them a greeting, there was an explosion from within. Faye rolled her eyes, one of these days those two were going to blow their fingers off. She was glad she wouldn't be around to see the bloody mess when it did.
As expected, upon being seen on the grounds of the junkyard, Parker and Tobias fled to the main building to get Leon. It did not take long for the Red Lion to come out of his den, "About time you two got back," he commented. Fayte figured it'd be best for her to explain the situation, considering she had been here a bit longer and Leon was her legal guardian.
She decided to just crack it to him instead of beating around the bush, "And we're both leaving."
He seemed to be a bit surprised by this, silent for a moment as if in disbelief before speaking, "What?"
"I don't know if you haven't noticed, but I don't exactly enjoy living here. It's a mess, there's barely any food, and the showers don't even work properly. I haven't been able to get a single job, i'm incapable of getting even my permit in this kind of place, I can't get a job period in this kind of place, I can barely even manage the cellphone bill, the twins are constantly blowing up stupid shit, the dogs in this place are practically wild animals, the electric is unreliable, there's no way you're going to be able to register me for school, and if I had friends outside of here, i'd rather not tell them that I live in a JUNKYARD of all places," Fayte spoke swiftly, listing all the reasons she was leaving. The long winded list and left her a bit breathless, which made her think she should have broken it up a bit more.
Leon stared at her, he had known that Faye did not like it here, but figured she'd stay because of the sheer fact that she had nowhere else to go.
"Well if you're not going to stay here then where the hell else are ya' gonna go?" He asked.
"Some things happened. Made a few friends. Got a house." Fayte explained simply.
Leon looked to Katelyn, "What about you? You just movin' out like Shell or callin' it quits?" he had a bit of a hopeful look to him, hoping that the two would not leave him. Fayte gave a rather impatient huff, wanting to get out of here as quickly as possible before the lion decided to get territorial or something.

Katelyn looked over at Fayte again, hearing the giggle that comes from the other girl following what Kate had said, and the brunette finds herself laughing as well for a moment, and then her attention is drawn to the sound of a small explosion somewhere nearby. They enter the gates of the junkyard a few moments later, and Kate catches a brief glimpse of one of the twins running off, she guessed probably to alert Leon.
Sure enough, Leon makes his appearance soon after, meeting them in the middle of the lot as the pair of girls had been making their way to the main house. Before Kate has a chance to reply, the blonde girl at her side decides to jump headlong into the thick of things, getting right to the point of what they would have had to tell him anyways. She turns her gaze back to Leon momentarily at his surprised exclamation of 'what?' before moving her eyes back to Fayte, who pulls no punches in telling their former caretaker what was what. Kate remains silent through this, shifting a little bit on her feet uncomfortably, having not been aware on just how much history Fay and Leon had before she'd shown up and not wanting to interrupt since from Fay's words it sounds like her speech had been a long time coming.
She keeps her silence as Leon asks where the hell Fay was gonna go, and after the other girl had given an answer, Kate found herself being asked a couple questions of her own. She holds her tongue for another moment, her eyes flickering about the area to check that they were alone.
"I'm sorry Leon, but it has to be quits for me too." She replies softly, not holding the same level of animositiy against the man that Fay did, and slowly she pulls her stump out of pocket so it would be in clear view of the man. "Had a bit of an.. accident and it's not healing back this time. I dunno what good I could possibly be at the moment anyways, since it was my good hand." She says and then quickly shoves her stump back in the pocket as the twin that had thought she was half-ant or whatever comes back out of the house and starts toward them. "When I get a chance to find out if things have settled down at all back home, I'll see about contacting my people to wire you some cash as payment for letting me stay though.."

The Red Lion did not look happy about this at all, and he had looked quite a bit shocked when he saw the stump hand. He looked as if he were about to make some kind of argument, but had stopped upon remembering something and instead said, "Sure. Deal's a deal after all," before walking off.
Fayte was honestly a bit surprise that he had let them go so easily. She figured that it was because Fayte had got him to agree to the whole letting her walk out thing. She also figured that Leon was sick of her already and was glad to see her go. Either way, it seemed to work without a hitch! Fantastic!
Tobias followed Leon, leaving the girls alone with a quick glance back at Ant-Woman before he left.
The blonde turned towards the main house, opening the door and making her way up the stairs. She wondered if Katelyn would be fine with getting up the stairs, but with how she acted with the shoelace thing, she figured offering help would only hurt her dignity. The blonde entered her room and suddenly things all around her began flying. It was not much considering it was just a bunch of clothes being shoved into a backpack and some extra things she had found around the junkyard that she planned to keep being set into a suitcase. She was done packing in only a minute. Easy for a psychic. She grabbed her stuff, and went to check up on Katelyn to see how she was doing.

Katelyn felt a bit bad as she heard Leon's muttered reply after a bit of an uneasy silence between the three of them, and as the man turns and walks off, Kate catches sight of Tobias staring at her again. She shifts uneasily under the scrutiny, keeping her right arm concealed from view, and then breathes out a low sigh or relief as the boy turns and follows after Leon like a puppy. She was glad since she didn't want to have to explain to everyone about her hand, since it would be obvious she was trying to hide it in her jacket.
She falls into step behind Fayte as the blonde girl leads the way over to the main house and enters after her friend. When Fayte breaks off to enter her now-former room, Kate continues on and slowly climbs the stairs to her own up in the attic space. She didn't have much, just a couple things she'd stolen during the week before being grabbed by the Remingtons.
A couple sets of second-hand clothes, a book or two, and her ipod go into her small backpack, and after getting the strap over the shoulder of her good arm, Kate crouches down by the bed. With her remaining hand, she reaches under the mattress and pulls out an envelope and flicks it open to quickly count out the seventy-four dollars she'd built up from pick-pocketing a few people and then walks over to the dresser. She drops the envelope on the surface and grabs a pen off the top, thankfully already uncapped. On the envelope's front, she writes in a sloppy text 'Money inside, sorry again and thank you.'
It was barely readable and Kate again wants to have Sinclair look into that cybernetics deal as soon as possible, especially if she and Fayte were going to be school-bound again. She couldn't be writing like a four year old as a junior.
Just as she turns to head back downstairs, Fayte enters with a couple bags already packed and she blinks in surprise, for a moment forgetting about her friend's own power.
"That was fast, you really want out bad huh?" Kate says as her eyes meet those of her best friend.

"Kind of easy to pack when you can just grab everything at once," Faye reminded Katelyn with a small shrug.
Fayte began her way downstairs, she heard a door creak open behind her, but paid no attention to it. It was Lance, he watched the girls with their bags start their descent. He left his door slightly ajar behind him before sneaking towards Katelyn's room. The girls had to have left something valuable, women liked jewelry after all. He was planning to sell anything he found, but to his delight, he found an envelope with quite a wad of cash within. A smile cracked across his face, this would get him a good batch to last him a while... He knew that the letter was most definitely not for him, but surely it would not be missed by Leon of all people, especially when he doesn't know about it!
"You know sometimes I wish I'd be okay with just letting everyone know," Fayte huffed, finding that her cases were heavy, "That way I could just go super-psy and make everything float instead of having to drag it along..." an idea came to Faye as she said that, "Wait what am I even doing?" she muttered to herself. She still had her hands around the cases, but they were suddenly significantly lighter. She simply looked like she was carrying it around with ease.

Katelyn gave a nod of understanding to Fayte's words, only then remembering. "Right, of course. Silly me." She says with a chuckle, and then follows after the blonde back downstairs. As they go, Kate catches sight of that Lance guy for a brief moment and looks away just as quick as she comes upon the stairs and starts down them. The guy still creeped her out, and in Kate's mind after the goo creature and the mutant leecher, for someone with no known powers of his own, that was saying something. She moves a little faster, not wanting to be near him for reasons she couldn't quite put her finger on.
As she makes her way down behind Fayte, the brunette teen gives an understanding nod, remembering how secretive she herself had been back home for the first couple months with her powers. Back in Jersey, people like her, Fayte and Leon weren't as commonplace as they were here, so Kate felt a bit safer being more open with her abilities, but then she wasn't going to force her friend to adopt the same tactics, or even try to as she knew how Fayte felt about her secrecy. She blinks slightly at the last bit of what the other girl says, and then gets it that Fay's luggage was now weightless.
"What are you going to do if the Remingtons find out?" She asks curiously, and wonders herself about how Vic would take Fay's powers if they came to light. More than anything Kate just hoped her friend didn't get put through the same deal as Kate had been through if and when Fay did reveal herself as empowered, whether it be purposefully or accidental. It could even be that they knew already, given the news report that Kate had popped up in. Having not seen it, she didn't know if Fay featured in it too.

"Uhh..." Faye thought for a moment as she walked, thinking about her answer as she did not really have a plan yet for if they found out.
--
Lance stuffed the envelope in his back pocket, searching the room before giving up on finding anything else of value. It was Fayte's old room's turn. He opened the door that was usually locked, the room was empty and there was a letter on the bed, just like in Katelyn's room. This one must have had money in it too! He grabbed with his greedy hands at the envelope, wondering how much was inside this one. However, he opened it to find a note.
"Go fuck yourself dumbass, you're so predictable,"
He blinked in confusion, wondering if this was actually meant for him. Oh well, at least he had that wad of cash. He reached to his back pocket, to find that it was gone.
...
WHAT THE HELL!?
--
"Not sure...get scared? Freak out? Would kind of depend on how they react to it..." she spoke, shrugging her shoulders.
"I'd rather they not find out period," she simply said, "The less that knows the better, that way I can live my life without being thrown into a zoo for people to gawk at, and so when I do use it, they wont suspect its me or wont see it coming."
They had now exited the junkyard, Fayte wondered if Sinclair would still be there. She wouldn't know what to do if Sinclair decided to bail on them. Her fear was calmed however upon sight of the woman in her car, fixing her make-up in the sun-blocker's mirror.

Katelyn fell silent after speaking and gives a look to her friend as she trails off uncertainly with her answer. As they left the house, Kate quickens her pace to walk side by side with Fayte as they cross the junkyard. As they go, Fayte comes out with a more defined answer that has Kate nodding her understanding.
"Well Sinclair will be fine with it, I'm sure. Her husband I'm less sure of, but they won't hear about nothing from me, at least until you're ready or whatever." Kate replies with an assuring smile. "Though they might know already, I dunno. They both knew my face from the incident at the store ending up on the news and I don't know exactly how much the cameras caught if anything in regards to you and what you can do.. though the fact that Sin didn't seem to recognize you like she did me means you're probably in the clear."
Kate pauses at the gates leading out of the junkyard for a moment at the loud yell that comes from the direction of the house, too far off for her to discern who's voice it had been.
"Ooookay, terrific." She mutters under her breath and then hurries to catch up the few yards that Fay had gotten ahead of her, and falls into a comfortable silence as her feet propel her forward until she and the blonde teen are walking side by side again in a comfortable silence. Soon enough they are approaching the car again, and Kate raises up her good arm in a wave of greeting as she catches sight of Sinclair waiting for them in the driver's seat.
"Hey do you know which one of them it was that yelled there?" She asks Fay as they make their way over. "I couldn't tell."

"Lance," Fayte replied almost immediately and casually, as if it were nothing to be worried about, "He probably just found out he's out of beer or something," she dismissed the yell from earlier. She didn't want to go into detail about it, feeling like she'd be trying to glorify herself in explaining just what mischievous little trick she had pulled.
Besides, her mind was a bit elsewhere. She was still processing the fact that she no longer had to live in some junkyard, and was able to live under a real house once more! She felt almost as if there really was hope for her future again, like she might just be able to become somebody in this nobody town.
As they reached the car, Sinclair noticed them approaching and popped open the trunk of the car from inside. Fayte rounded the car and lifted her bags into the trunk, "You know, when I woke up about a month ago, I did not think anything like this was going to happen. I woke up thinking either I was going to die, starve, get shot, or continue living there until any of the above happened. Have to say, i'm really glad though..."

Kate glances sideways over at Fay as the other girl answers that it was Lance, and tilts her head in slight disbelief, getting the sense there was more to it somehow, but she ends up just shrugging and doesn't press the issue. "Jeez, what a drama queen that guy is then." She replies with a bit of a laugh and shakes her head. "Think I made less of a loud scene when that thing in the basement ate my hand."
A couple moments later, they've reached the car and the trunk pops open, so Kate follows the other teen around to the back, storing her backpack into the storage space after Fay's bags have gone in. When Fay speaks again, Kate gives her a look and nods her agreement in regards to her own situation.
"Well coming from someone who's had the misfortune of experiencing at least one of those, I'm glad that we got so lucky too." She replies with a smile at their shared turn of good fortune, even if she herself had had to suffer a bit before both girls got the offer to move up in the world. "Two months ago I didn't know I even had powers. I found out about the healing after being shot in the chest, so likely I might have been officially dead for a few seconds. It was the same day I killed those two guys, the second one was the one that got me. But anyways, yeah. Let's go home."
Home, she thought was a smile at the concept, she's been unsure she'd have a true one ever again and in her mind she'd only been staying at the junkyard, with no real sense of belonging. Kate was glad to be proven wrong with her fear.
She lets Fay pass by her and retake the front seat if she wanted, moving around to climb in to sit behind Sinclair in the back.
