Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naoaki smirked over at Zachery. "Ne... Zachery... I know Hiro-san his handsome but keep your hands to yourself ne? He's all mine!"

Hiroki twitched. "Oi Naoaki! Leave him be..."

"Yes hiro-sannnnn" Naoaki said as he raised his hand up.

Hiroki gasped as his feet lifted from the floor. "Naoa-" He relaxed as the only made him float closer to him. Setting him back down onto his feet gently, Naoaki then did the same to Zachery.

"Lets hurry kids...The carnival won't wait up for ya..." Naoaki said with a chuckle.

Eva looked over at him. "Can I go with you then?" She picked the deck of cards back up and tossed them at him.

Edwin nodded as his eyes slowly adjusted to his surroundings. "Where am I?" He asked after a moment, confusing strong in his voice.

"Good!~" Naoaki said loudly before laughing. "Alright lets get going!~" He pulled the other two with him towards the door.

Hiroki barely had a chance to grab himself and zachery a jacket. "Be careful!" He said as his hip colliaded with the side table..."Ittai!"

Eva smiled. "Thanks..." She then looked down at her clothes..."I dont look like I stick out too much do I?" Her wings retracted and dissapeared, leaving her in her loose white dress.

"Thanks for your help" Edwin said softly. "The pain is practically gone." He said as he shifted up into a sitting position. He reached out an gently storked his once wounded wing slowly. "I had snagged it on a barbed wire fence earlier while I was being chased down by a group of soliders."

A figure walked down the street slowly, ignoring the stares of others surrounding him.

As they made it down to the car, Naoaki moved to open the car doors for both Hiroki and Zachery.

Hiroki raised an eyebrow at the other before shaking his head and smiling. He moved to sit down in the passenger's seat before shutting the door.

Naoaki smiled and looked towards Zachery. "Hop in" He said before moving around to the driver's side. "The sooner your in, the sooner we get there." He said teasingly.

Eva smiled before taking her hair down from it's pony tail."Alright then... Lets go make some money.." Her smile became a smirk after a few moments. "This'll be fun."

"I almost didnt make it.." Edwin said with a sigh as he looked around the barn. "They seem to be getting stronger these days..."

The streets were dark as the man in the glasses continued his walk. It had been a while since he had been able to have a bit of fresh air. He stiffened as a child and their mother walked past him. The kid smiled at him, looking a bit confused while the mother looked at him like he was a monster....or rather a mutant. Little did she know how right she was. The male sighed. Why did life have to be so difficult?

Hiroki fastened his seat belt before turning to look at zachery."Fasten your seatbelt too Zachery, Naoaki is a crazy driver..."

Naoaki grinned and started the engine. "Hold onto something boys.." He said as he flicked on his head lights.

"It's because we are different." Edwin commented as he closed his eyes. His wings retracted into his back, leaving only two scars on his back from their appearence. He rubbed over the tender marks gently. Not ready for the sting they caused as usual...

Slim looked up at the sound of a familar motor. Gazing across the street he was able to make out the form of a way too noticable man. He smiled before walking across the street. "Well well well..." He said with a laugh. "James Logan...Still using my bike I see..." He commented as he looked over his poor abused motercycle. "You like riding my girls dont you?" The hint of his voice stated that there was more then one meaning to what he was saying. He may not be able to see in colors any more but he wasnt blind at how the other male was around his past love Jean. He wasnt around, but he could still remember the day she told him about the kiss the two had shared in his absence.

Naoaki smiled, starting the engine and began driving towards their destination.

Hiroki sighed as he felt the other begin to speed up.

"i'll be fine...Thank you.." Edwin said with a sad smile. He pulled a bloody cloth out of his pocket, and wiped the cuts on his back.

"I'm still alive...if that's what it's worth..." Scott said as he looked over his old bike. He walked closer to it, stroking his hand over the bike handles. "Has he been treating you well love?" He said softly to it as he closed his eyes. "He better be..."

Hiroki gasped as Naoaki almost hit a deer. "Naoaki!!!! Slow down!"

Naoaki slowed the car down and grinned. "Yes oh great master..."

"Edwin..." He said before slipping the bloody cloth back into his pocket. "It's nice to meet you ace..." He smiled and held out his hand to her...

"It's your charm that makes me this way.." Scott said with a smile. He moved to sit on the seat of his old bike. Leaning over he rested his arms on the handle's again. "So where have you been hiding all this time? Up North again?"

"Haha if you say so..." Eva said as she pulled on her old jacket. "This should be fun.."

Hiroki closed his eyes tightly as they crossed over a bridge. Naoaki pulled the other male closer as they crossed it.
"Hiroki hates bridges..." Naoaki said to Zachery as he looked at the road ahead of them..."Espically ones with water under them..."

Edwin smiled. "That's quite a power you have..." He looked at her hands. "Thank you for saving my life..." He said once again as he bowed his head to her.

Scott raised his head. "One of the kids?" He frowned. "Was the kid human or a mutant?" He now seemed actually concerned as to what the other was talking about. "Things have been rough over here.. They have been trying to track all the mutants down in this area... Capture them all to run tests..." He looked down at his arm. Rolling up his sleeve he looked at the fresh wound on his skin. "They are getting stronger..."

Eva smiled as they made their way closer to the carnival. She smiled as the scent of cotten candy reached her senses. "mmm love that smell"

Hiroki sighed as they made their way to the other side of the bridge, the lights of the carnival coming into sight. " Thank god..." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"We're almost there..." Naoaki said as he poited out the window, the ferris wheel was coming into view. "Isn't she a beauty!?"

"Ah I see.." Edwin said as he smiled. "Wish that could be a talent of my own, I always tend to get myself into some sort of trouble or harm.." He sighed. "These bloody wings gets in the way sometimes..."

"If only those people created something productive instead of creating us into slaves or monsters." Scott said as he swung his leg back over the bike. He still leaned against the bike through, as he thought to himself. "The poor girl. That place is treating the children like mental paitents these days. He pulled his sleeve over his arm, coving the cut again. "They are actually beginging to suceed in registering mutants. Better watch yourself Logan...Try not to stand out. I can't really not stand out.." He said tapping the edge of his sunglasses to make a point.
