❝I can do what I want, I'm in complete control. That's what I tell myself.
I got a mind of my own, I'll be alright alone. Don't need anybody else.
I give myself a good talking to. No more being a fool for you.
I remember how you made wanna surrender.❞

❝Always the same, You say that you'll change. Somehow you never do.
I believe all your lies, The look in your eyes. You make it all seem true.
I guess I see what I wanna see, Or is my heart just deceiving me
With that look I know so well, I fall completely under your spell.❞
James grinned at Eva's response as they headed down the stairs. She explained that what he had seen seemed to have been connected to another case she was already working on, and that she hoped he didn't mind being used. The Detective shrugged. "I'll get over it. I'd be lying if I told you I wouldn't come in handy." His tone was light, suggesting that he wasn't offended in the slightest. His ability had helped him to solve more than a few cases, and besides, he was a Detective -- it was sort of in his job description. "In fact, on the list of ways I could be used by a woman, I'd say this is probably one of the better ones." The grin returned to his face again. James had mostly gone back to his normal, relatively easy-going self since Joel had returned. It was a huge weight lifted off of his shoulders, despite his friend's predicament with his long-lost sister.
They reached the main floor of the complex and James held the door open politely for her. Eva was about to go on, but someone appeared suddenly tapping the woman on the shoulder and holding out a letter. She was very out of breath, and James was just confused. The girl waved at him, introducing herself and revealing her bright green hair. James composed himself as best he could. "Detective James Brandt..." He introduced in return, before glancing at Eva again. "Why do we need a guard... Exactly..?" It wasn't really an issue -- though Eva was right, that it seemed excessive -- he just wasn't used to it. If anyone went with him, it was others on the police force who knew about the case, there to assist him. However, usually it was just himself and Joel. A two-man team. He was still getting used to the way that Providence did things. Eva didn't seem phased for long however, unlocking the car doors so they could get in. He followed orders and climbed in the passenger seat, leaving their tag-along to hop in the back. His own car would sit around outside Leon's apartment for the time-being, he supposed.
❝Damn your eyes.
They're taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
Making me fall in love again!
Damn your eyes.❞

Nova Primrose
Powermouse
"She may be small, but she is mighty"
A young girl walked down the main streets of New York city, she had recently moved into a small apartment not too far away now, to try and grow up a little and enjoy some independence away from her sometimes overbearing father.
Her name was Nova Primrose, she was a petite girl, standing at 5ft 1. She had a secret however, that she was determined to remain a secret for as long as she could. Nova knew some of the terrible things going on in the world, but she just didn't think she was good enough, she thought she would leave the saving the world stuff to the actual superheroes. Ever since the war broke out, the streets of New York just weren't as safe anymore, especially for a young girl like Nova.
Her eyes wandered, and caught sight of a group of people getting into a car in quite a rushed time. She became a bit tense, and wondered if something was going on. This feeling was short lived when she realized that she was being followed, by a young man in a hooded jumper. She had experienced this a few times before, however it never came to fruition, rolling her eyes she continued to walk, witnessing the stalker playing with something in his pocket.
"Looks like he's brought a knife to this one.. " she said to herself, as she continued to walk through the street, only about 10 minutes away from her home. He began to pick up pace, as not too far ahead Nova would go through an empty street as a shortcut to her home, she had to make a decision as to what she would do, and quick. |

Marianna sighed as she hung out on a roof top of an apartment building. She had gotten up there by being a raccoon a few days ago and enjoyed returning to it, loving the fact that it was so solitary. She looked around and heard something. She looked below to see a girl walking at a pretty fast pace. She looked behind her, wondering why the girl was walking like there was a fire behind her. She noticed a man following her and rose a brow, wondering why he was following her. She noticed a glint in the light and understood now, he was going to attack her at some point, or so she figured. Taking a breath, she stood and removed her jacket, liking the jacket she had found. She looked down and closed her eyes before jumping. Just as her feet left the building, she transformed and flew down to the man, attacking him with her beak and talons any way that she could. She pecked, clawed all of what she could reach on the man. She saw his knife try to hit her and she screeched as she got out of the way. Then she began to attack him again going at him until he gave up. Once he left, she stood on the grown and looked up at the girl that had been followed.

Eva carefully eased herself into her car, while silently wishing she had gone for the SUV instead. She could feel the stitches in her side pulling a bit as she moved, but so far she had managed to avoid doing damage. She felt a pang of guilt as the young Amelie spoke from the back seat. After all, she was just doing her job and Eva had been pretty rude about it. “I'm sure you'll do a great job.” She said trying to be upbeat, while looking at her in the review mirror. She couldn't twist to look in the back directly with her injury, so it was the best she could do. “I have to admit I'd rather avoid any more fighting if possible, but I'll glad you are here when it inevitably happens.” Really she wasn't even supposed to be back on the job, but something big was happening in New York, so having a body guard was a small price to pay.
Then she looked to Detective Brandt sitting beside her and took a small breath, before starting the car. She had sort of been hoping to avoid telling James about the attack. The last thing Eva wanted was for him to decide he needed to be all macho and protect her and try to take over the case on her. Eva started driving as she explained the situation. “It has to do with the case I was telling you about. Five Providence members have gone missing from the city, but of course they want to keep the public from finding out. I was attacked in a restaurant last week, but luckily a deviant with metal-morphing powers came to the rescue after I was shot. I'm fine, really. Just a minor wound, but I guess they've decided it's better to have protection.” Then she grinned, seeming to do a 180 as she suddenly changed the subject. “So, do you get used by women often Detective?”

Nova Primrose
Powermouse
"She may be small, but she is mighty"
Nova was about to begin to make a quicker exit from the potential scene when she saw a silhouette at the top of the building, she couldn't make out who it was due to the sun glaring at her face. Before she could respond, down swooped a bird as black as night and attacked the man in any way it could. Nova stepped forward and was about to aid the bird, but the man ran off and the bird stood upright on the ground, looking at her intently.
Nova felt a bit nervous, she looked around her close proximity for a potential owner. After a minute of staring the bird down, she walked towards it and bent down to make it feel more comfortable if possible, after all - she had never been helped by a bird before.
Reaching her hand out to pet it's head, she decided against it and placed it back at her side, at the risk of startling it. There was much more to this bird, Nova felt something was amiss. "Thank you, you really helped me out there." she said, looking up into the sky. "Are you gonna head home now?" she asked, realising she was talking to a bird and must have looked absurd.
Nova stood up, and as she did she felt a sharp nipping sensation on her neck. She placed her hand to check what created the sensation, and once she realised something was stuck she instinctively yanked it out, realising it was a dart of some kind. She looked to her left side and saw someone with a gun, aiming another shot at the bird beside her, she then clicked. "Oh god no, It's working.. " she thought to herself as she looked at the bird. "Fly!!" she yelled, as she fell backwards onto the ground, everything around her blurring and starting to fade to black.
She had avoided people trying to recruit her, kidnap her, change her for a long time now, it was only a matter of time before something worked. As she faded to unconsciousness, she only hoped the bird managed to get away.

Looking at the girl and hopping a bit closer, she cawed at the woman. Marianna watched the girl as she got closer and looked up at her, the girl hesitating to touch her. She squaked, having found herself unable to change back at the moment. She looked as the girl fell, jumping a bit, being drugged. Marianna jumped onto the girls back, seeing the man. She grew angry and squaked at the man approaching. She flew at him, attacking him as she did the other man. Someone else grabbed her and she struggled to get free. She fought hard until she managed to get away, changing back as she looked at the men. She looked between them, standing near the other girl until she felt a sting herself. Putting a hand on her neck, she winced and fell, sleep finding her easier than it had in awhile. Before falling asleep, she rolled a bit, looking at the men as they grouped around the two. "No" she whispered softly before going limp.

Nova Primrose
Powermouse
"She may be small, but she is mighty"
Nova began to come around after at least 5 hours of being unconscious. She couldn't quite see yet, however could feel that she was still lying down, covered by something soft. Making some soft groaning noises, her fuzzy head started to clear as her eyes opened slowly and closed again, "What the hell happened to -" she gasped and instantly sat up, everything coming back to her in less than a second. She was on a couch, covered in a blanket, she was extremely worried yet didn't feel any imminent danger.
Bringing her legs around to hang over the couch, she rubbed her face as her head had a slight ringing noise. Nova looked around her, and noticed another female lying close to her, she had never seen this girl before, but somehow felt a connection already. Instantly standing up and crouching at the girls side, she could see that she was just asleep, and would wait until she awoke. Was this her flat? No, it couldn't be, not when she was in the same state as Nova.
Nova stood up again, and looked through a drawer beside her, grabbing whatever she could use as a potential weapon - a pen, great. Holding the pen out infront of her, she could hear someone making a noise in the flat, they were awake. Whoever shot her with the sleep dart had the intentions of taking her somewhere, and she wouldn't let them take her without a fight. "H-hello? Is there someone there?" she said, stuttering a little.
She wasn't the brightest of people at times, Nova could have tried to sneak out and easily lifted the woman beside her, however decided to talk to her potential enemy instead. She thought about the bird that had saved her, and hoped it was okay. Looking back at the other girl sleeping, she held the pen out - indicating she was ready to defend herself. "I'll protect you, don't you worry... " she said to her, before moving around the flat to look for whoever else was there.

Marianna began to come to, the first thing she noticed was someone beside her. She felt movement and drew in a breath as she listened to her speak. If she could laugh without hurting her head, she probably would have. She finally managed to open her eyes and winced, her hand going to her head. "Ow" she whispered softly as she rolled over a bit. She watched the girl venture further into the... flat? She looked around, raising a brow. The last thing she remembered was looking up at the men. How the hell did they get there? She took a breath and managed to sit up, a wave of nausea overcoming her. She laid back again and groaned softly. She smiled as she watched the girl with the pen, looking at her from between her fingers. She shook her head and stood, then sat back down. "Not happening" she whispered, nausea coming back to her. She tried to relax and looked around. She liked the place but if this is where they kept their captives, it was a little weird. Marianna took a moment before standing again, feeling a bit better this time.

The newcomer seemed a bit off-put by their responses to her presence, but went on to explain herself anyways. James shrugged it off rather quickly and nodded. Eva changed her tune as well, sounding apologetic for her previous comment. If James was honest, he would prefer to avoid much fighting himself. The last real confrontation he had been in had led to him shooting both the perpetrator, and his best friend. He was still a bit hesitant to pull his gun now, though logically he knew the whole thing had been Hyde's doing and not his own. However, he had it if needed. "So the case... besides protecting Miss Albright, is there anything I can do to be helpful?" The Cadet asked. "That remains to be seen." James responded simply, glancing backward in the mirror at the young woman. "And is probably better for Eva to answer than me... I'm afraid I'm only here by coincidence." James admitted sheepishly. Either way, if this case was bigger than what small bit he'd witnessed in the vision, having a Detective involved couldn't hurt.
After a moment, Eva glanced over at him to answer his question as well. She sort of rushed through the story, as though not wanting to linger on the details too long. It was clear why once she added the bit about getting shot. James gave her a startled look, and raised his eyebrow. "Are you sure you're okay to be in the field?" He asked, though his tone was joking. He couldn't blame her either way. He wouldn't let something like that get in the way of a case either. Eva grinned at him then, changing the subject completely. He let her, since she didn't seem to want to talk about the rest all that much. "So, do you get used by women often Detective?" A grin spread across his face as well. "All the time, usually I enjoy it -- I seem to have a knack for it."

Nova Primrose
Powermouse
"She may be small, but she is mighty"
Nova watched the young man come through with a tray of refreshments, she still remained vigilant for a brief moment before dropping her hands back to her side. He had rescued them, it now made sense to her. "Oh, you saved us?" she said, taking a few steps back as she kept an eye on him.
Nova looked at the pen, she placed it back in the drawer and looked back up, smiling at her saviour now. She walked over to him and placed her hand out to shake, keeping an eye on her strength when she did so. "Thank you for saving us both, Mike. My name is Nova, Nova Primrose!" she said, looking at the other woman he had saved.
"Oh, your awake!" she said, still not knowing that this was also the bird that had helped her from before. "How are you feeling?" she asked, moving closer to the woman. Nova hadn't seen her around before, when she was attacked everything after that was a blur, how had she got involved in all of this?
