"We'll, we can't disappoint your grandma," Kelly agrees smiling. "Thanks for being willing to share your name, I know its probably a big deal. I'd tell you that my name is Kelly, but you already know, and telling you my code name is Tempest doesn't really do it either, so thank you, I wont betray your trust." she promises the masked crime fighter.
"Thanks," Charlie says as he leads Kelly to his home, a two story in a quaint neighborhood on hills over looking the bay. He breathes a slight sigh, and walks inside grabbing his backpack, neatly hidden, on the way in.

After she waits for him to change, Kelly smiles at Charlie. "Your a cutie without your mask, if you were in my world fighting crime, you wouldn't need it. Its almost a crime to cover up your face." she says grinning. "Now tell me about your grandma, I bet she's wondeful, I never met any of my grand parents, my parents were like kinda old when they had me. I mean, they look like people so much younger then they are, but I think thats Mom's luck powers making them age in the best possible way." she explains, eager to meet Charlie's grandma.
"I will just let-" he says, but is cut off.
Grandma walks in a large woman with a round bright face, and wrinkles that accentuate her age and wisdom, or perceived wisdom in her almond eyes. Her cream white hair is worn in short curls and she shakes her head disapprovingly at Charlie, “Now look at you, soaked to the bone young man, and this poor waif of a girl, what have you been doing traipsing about, I swear!”
She sighs ushering the two youths into the room, and promptly orders Charlie to get changed and gets warm fluffy towels for Kelly. She seats her and sighs, “That boy, are you a friend of his?”
The evening of course is quite entertaining as Grandma insists that once you are both cleaned up, everyone plays Scrabble. She is full of life, and Charlie actually relaxes, and although he wins the game easily, everyone has fun. Charlie introduces Kelly as a friend from school, and Grandma immediately shows Kelly all kinds of pictures of Charlie growing up, his numerous academic awards, and the like.
Grandma even gives Kelly a nice warm bed in the guest room, although somewhat unnerved when Charlie explains that her parents are out of town on business she does not judge, and does her best to make Kelly at ease.
Ryan
Ryan follows and Aris looks back, and she turns invisible without answering… leaving him alone in the rain amidst the night sky; his glowing form easily visible over the city. Miracle Girl is gone… or at least beyond his capability to find…
In the Morning
The teens at Teen Justice Tower have a pleasant smell of bacon, eggs, and Belgium waffles prepared by Gadget and Velocity Girl. With some heal from Kal, albeit he set the table. The two girls even got Karen involved with the morning festivities in cooking the rather large meal.
Danger Girl is on the couch watching TV, and looking a rather annoyed mood. Thor is nowhere to be found, and the day is clear and beautiful compared to the dreary rain of the following day.
The radio is on and a snippet of news catches some ears, “And in other news looks like The Bestiary was taken down by Teen Justice and a group of unknown lawless vigilantes. Both Manticore and Behemoth are in custody, but Undine is still at large. The leader of this group of mercenaries Chimera was killed on the scene by an as of yet unidentified vigilante! Police have issued a city-wide alert to track down this individual and question him about the murder of Chimera!”
Gadget sighs, “Oh this isn’t good…”
Anika
Anika wakes up from a pleasant night of sleep, the ground was soft and comforting, and she was at ease at least physically. She has to blink her eyes because something furry is nuzzling her face. It looks like a very fluffy and cute cross between a rabbit and a cat, about the size of a kitten.
She sees Cantrip in meditation towards the center of the clearing…
Kelly
Kelly wakes up on a warm bed with Miles Davis playing in the background. Sunlight creeps through the window, and Grandma is already up cooking breakfast. She can hear Charlie’s voice as he assists her, the two are talking about what colleges Charlie is applying for.
