And you're Miguel," she says. "You gave almost gave her an aneurysm yesterday when she pulled that prank on you," she says with a giggle.

Miguel laughs at her comment. Yea, that was a riot, didn't know she had it in her. He tells her as he twists at an angle so he can shake her hand. So what kind of elite powers do you have? I would assume with a code name like Cummulus it would involve something to do with the weather.

He whirls the car backwards once evryone is in, spinning the wheels. He turns the car and spins into the parking lot, before shifting the gears smoothly and laucnhing out onto the street.

Man, I have got to get me one of these cars.

"Yeah," Angela says, nodding, her curly red locks bouncing as she watches the traffic drive by, "Jen's probably turned off her personal cell, they're on a mission in Baltimore. She contacted us as they were headed there. Some guy causing a disturbance or something, I'm sure they'll be back soon."

She gives Miguel a lop-sided grin. "You must watch more Weather Network than CNN, hey? I can turn myself into water vapor, plus I can control existing sources of water vapor and create it by either pulling moisture from the surrounding area, or, and I just learned how to do this a couple months ago," she adds, sounding exited, "convert solid matter to water vapor and back again." She pulls some lipstick from her purse, and concentrates on it as she holds it in her hand. It melts away, turning into a tiny cloud that floats above her hand. She concentrates some more and the cloud tightens and darkens and you can see small arcs of electricty bolt through it. One tiny bolt shoots down onto her hand, but it doesn't seem to faze her. The cloud soon turns back to lipstick, which she places in back in her purse. "So yeah, it has something to do with weather," she says with a grin, but then she shrugs modestly and says, "I guess it's not too impressive if you've seen what Barrett can do."

It's less a groan and more a look, that one would probably associate with a groan, that Tyrone receives as he hands Sarah's phone back. "You remind me of Dillon from my old precinct. The silly stuff he'd do to garner attention," she says with a smile, shaking her head. Despite mentioning her old job, Sarah finally seems to be relaxing and truly enjoying herself for the first time since any of you have met her.

Kiro seems to have his attention more on the wolf in the backseat with Aaron and himself. "So that is that Rachel girl. She doesn't just look like a wolf, she acts like one too, how strange. Aaron appears to enjoy her company, though," he thinks.

"Yeah, some of what I do might seem a little goofy alright, but it does a lot of good. Kids look up to me, and parents don't mind that 'cause I anti-drinkin', anti-smokin', anti-gangs and anti-drugs, and I take that message to the schools. Charities like me 'cause I don't ask for money to promote 'em. The media likes me because I'm always available, and do silly things like call ins to radio stations," he says as the cruise along.

"Too many people waste their powers, or use 'em for monetary gains without really worrying about helping people. I don't mind people thinking I'm an attention whore, cause, well uh, I am," he laughs. "Heck, I founded my own fan club! But it aint ego. It just lets me help more people. Guess I could just fly around and beat up bad guys, but that like a waste of fame doesn't it? At least it'll keep the media from pestering the rest of you too much till you're comfortable with the attention, too."

Misha smirks to Miguel, "It is a fun ride, though I am curious why you would want to ride with me instead of your good buddy, Tyrone. I mean it is obvious that you don't think very highly of me," he says as he whips around an old couple in their vehicle, and zooms down the road.

"Good," he smiles as he focuses on the road.

She gives Miguel a lop-sided grin. "You must watch more Weather Network than CNN, hey?

She concentrates some more and the cloud tightens and darkens and you can see small arcs of electricty bolt through it. One tiny bolt shoots down onto her hand, but it doesn't seem to phase her. The cloud soon turns back to lipstick, which she places in back in her purse. "So yeah, it has something to do with weather," she says with a grin, but then she shrugs modestly and says, "I guess it's not too impressive if you've seen what Barrett can do."

"Hey you are more exotic then me," Misha replies cooly, lacing the words with double meaning.

Scratching at Rachel's ears and rubbing her belly as they drive along, Aaron is practically giggling in the back seat oblivious to Tyrone's antics with the radio station or even where they are headed. As he showers attention on the young wolf, Aaron absently says, "Ty can we get some treats for Rachel before we go to your house? Like maybe some stirfry meat or something that I can give her?"

 

[Shalimar]

After hopping into the Caddy, Rachel shifts around so that her head and front paws are resting on the car's side, sticking out past the edge so the wind blows through her fur. When Tyrone calls the radio station, Rachel gives a playful arf, in agreement, music is good. She holds her head up, and her tongue and ears flap in the wind.

When Aaron hugs her, she licks his face and then curls up into a ball on the seat between Kiro and Aaron with her head on his legs. Rachel's tail thumps up and down on the seat as her belly is rubbed and her ears are scratched in just the right spot, you can almost swear that the wolf was purring, but wolves don't purr, or do they? At the suggestion of meats as a treat Rachel gives another Yip of agreement. If she was in her human form she might have protested being treated like a pet, but as a wolf, being given tasty snacks really was a treat.

"Yeah, uh... well, this is going to take some getting used to," Tyrone says with a chuckle.

Actually that's pretty cool ability and when you are living on the streets you tend to learn a little about the weather patterns unless you like sleeping in the rain. He tells her with a wink and a smile.

Misha smirks to Miguel, "It is a fun ride, though I am curious why you would want to ride with me instead of your good buddy, Tyrone. I mean it is obvious that you don't think very highly of me," he says as he whips around an old couple in their vehicle, and zooms down the road.

Why am I not surpirsed that you and Eagle are friends, you just need to loosen up, smiling once and a while won't kill you. Miguel says with a smirk, besides if you thought I was going to let you monopolize all the lovely ladies you got another thing coming. He laughs.

Misha nods listening, "I wasn't planning on monopolizing anyone. I am sure the ladies can make up their own minds on who they choose to spend their time with. But perhaps I could learn to loosen up a little," he says he follows Miguel's directions to Tyrone's place.

"So," he turns to Angela, "you said Jennifer had lots to say about me, I am curious. What did she have to say?"

Sarah grins. "Just giving you a hard time, Tyrone. And I'm all for you monopolizing the fame. You can have it."

"Shimmering Samurai, that is quite colorful, Tyrone," Kiro says aprovingly, refering to the name the had given him at the press conference. "I was thinking of something more along the lines of Rising Sun, but I like the, what is it, the alliteration of Shimmering Samurai, very elequant, yet powerful."

"Exotic, hey? Don't think I've ever been called that before," she says with a bit of a laugh.

"What did Jen tell me...wouldn't you like to know?" she replies teasingly. "She told me about your date last night. You must have made quite the impression, because last week she was saying how she swore she'd never bother with a relationship again. By the sounds of it, she might have changed her mind," she adds with a impish grin.

Tyrone stops to grab the groceries required for the barbeque (and doing it in the usual record-breaking time) before continuing to his house. As everyone piles out of the two vehicles, Tyrone's mama sticks her head out of an open window and calls out, "Lands sakes, boy! Don't be telling me you invited all the patrons at the coffee shop for dinner again!"
