Western Heights Station

Ari/Quantum

I flash another smile and look away, studying the faces of a new crowd.

Presley | Volt

I see him glance around and I start lightly humming a sing while putting my head down.

Ari/Quantum

She starts humming and I look back at her, flashing a smile once I find her head down. Shaking my head at her, I look back away.

Presley | Volt

My humming slowly stops and I close my eyes, slowly drifting off into sleep.

Ari/Quantum

I curse under my breath, spotting Darcy coming up in the distance. She sees me and her eyes flare with anger, her appearance shifting slightly to that of our long lost mother.

"Ari! What the hell?!" she slams her hand down on the table before me, "You left me!"

Presley | Volt

Someone slams their hand against the table and I jump, falling off the chair and onto the floor. "What. The. Hell..." I mutter, sitting up.

Ari/Quantum

Presley falls out of her chair and I suppress a chuckle, looking at my sister.

"Darcy, I told you. Dad wanted me to find Titan and bring him - "

"He's already back! Why the hell are you still here?!" she interrupts.

Why don't you find the answer to that yourself, Hothead?

Her eyes narrow at me, and I thank God she had no offensive abilities.

Presley | Volt

I stand, not liking this girl already and cross my arms. "He's driving me," I say, "Why do you care?" I ask, sitting down while running a hand through my hair.

Ari/Quantum

"He's my brother!" Darcy responds, "He was supposed to take me to New York this weekend to scope out NYU!"

I sigh, preparing to be in the middle of a scream fest.

Presley | Volt

I try to hide my laughter, looking at Ari, saying something with my eyes-

I feel sorey for you.

Ari/Quantum

I flash a smile at her message and sigh again, Darcy going on and on about her plans for the weekend that my being here screwed up.

Presley | Volt

I block the girl out and get so annoyed that I stand and cover my ears. " SHUT UP! We get it! God, chill," I say, trying not to let my powers loose.

Ari/Quantum

Presley explodes and Darcy shuts up for a moment, looking at me with a hateful glare.

"You. Owe. Me," she mutters before leaving.

"Yeah, yeah. Just like you've owed me for the past four years," I mumble to myself.

Presley | Volt

When she leaves I sit back down and take my head in my hands, her annoying voice still chiming in my mind.

Ari/Quantum

i sigh and turn to Presley.

"Sorry about her," I say, "Though, you might wanna get used to that; we'll be working with her. She's not as annoying when serious. I just pissed her off pretty bad."
