Laura was out in the fresh air and the city was her road. The anger at Colette was put out of her mind in the sheer joy of ATing. When had she stopped calling Collete 'Mom' in her mind? She could feel the tension with the war coming, and also with everyone trying to find and protect the last seal. Wasn't it time that she started her own team? A group of people that could help them? Like it or not, Colette. I will ride my ATs and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Laura kicked off a wall and did a flip mid air, leaving her AT scar on the building. She felt so free. Laura rode up the wall then skid to a stop on the roof. Where am I? |

She hadn't been ATing in a long time, so it was time to give it a go. To feel the wind at her face as she sped past the cars up the sides of unknown buildings. Her iPod blared in her ears, as she sang loudly along with the song. " I don't care whatcha think as long as it's about me! The best of us can find happiness in misery! Woo!" She laughed, skating up the side of the building and doing a back flip down to the alley. She stopped, restarting the song as she looked at the side of the building. Her finger traced another ATing mark that led up the side to the top. " Gonna need speed for that." She grinned, skating backwards as she danced. Bending down, she took off at full speed. Climbing the wall with ease, she did a front sommersault onto the roof. " WOO!" She held up her hands in a rocker sign and grinned, tucking her loose hair behind her ear as a sight of a girl took over. " Hey." |

Laura turned around, suprised to be hearing someone up here. A girl with beautiful eyes was standing infront of her. Laura's eyes travled down to the girl's feet. Laura smiled, she was wearing ATs for a speed and height combonation. She smiled back.
"Hey." Laura made a spark between her fingers and began playing with it. "I'm Sparks, and you?" she asked, using a fake AT name, most street treckers never gave their real names. For all Laura knew, the girl infront of her could be an undercover cop.

"Hey." Laura made a spark between her fingers and began playing with it. "I'm Sparks, and you?"
Tessa smirked slyly at the girl, reaching a hand up into the air, she pulled out a tiny ball of moisture and bounced it up and down in her hands. "Flow." She smiled, throwing it back up into the air and letting it gently fall back down on her in tiny sprays.
"Niiice, ATs you got there." She looked down at the girl's shoes. More colorful than she preferred, but they weren't bad. "So.. What's up?" She asked, pulling out her earbuds and wrapping the cord around her neck. She rolled her way across the roof's edge, even if she did fall... All she had to do was transform into some fog. Nothing too hard to deal with.

Laura rolled her head and loosened a few tight muscles. "Not much. Flying free." Laura smirked a bit. She wondered how Yana had the bright idea to make these. Her ATs were specially designed for her by their maker, of corse she had to make a few changes, but the look was entirely unique.
Laura rolled lazily to the edge and looked down at the street and judged the distance to the next building, calculating the amount of speed it would take to jump over to it and climb to the top. "Acctually I was thinking of starting my own group... Don't you think it'd be fun having a group of mutant ATers fighting battles together?" Laura rolled to the other side of the building, winked at Flow then began rolling towards the edge, using her speed ability to keep the ATs moving quick enough.
She was in the air flying. That was the point of the Air Trecks. She angled herself so that she could send a sound wave down a building to help push herself up it. Her feet connected and she was climbing. That was the best part about New York, you could learn almost anything about ATing from it.

"Actually I was thinking of starting my own group... Don't you think it'd be fun having a group of mutant ATers fighting battles together?"
Flow nodded as she dug into her blank pants for a cigarette. "Yeah, but I prefer to stay out of that kind of stuff, ya know? Leave it for the others to deal with. Now, don't get me wrong. I care, but I don't know." She shrugged, lighting the cig.
She stood back watching the girl flying from one building to the next with ease. "You're good." She chuckled softly. Cig dangling from her lips, she placed her earbuds back in and skated backwards. Judging the distance, and speed, she took off. Jumping at the last moment, she did a front flip through the air towards one building.
She slowed herself down just enough to flick off the ashes and head towards the edge before bouncing up into the air, and riding down the wall. She let out a soft laugh as she rounded the block, dodging in and out of walkers to the alleyway. From there, she bounced side to side to the roof where Laura was. "Wha-ha." She made a funny noise as she landed, bowing. "So.. Sparks." She took a seat at the edge, her feet dangling over.
"I feel like I've seen you somewhere."

Laura shrugged smiling as Flow made it to the roof. She was good. "You probably have but you'll have to figure it out for your self." Laura joked. "I go to Belia Chatuea" ((OOC: forgive the spelling but im blonde tonight, just over look it please)) Laura sat down next to Flow and made a bunch of sparks fall gracefully down and disapear before they reached the ground.
This was turning into an interesting night. She wasn't who her mother wished she would be... she was an edgier, female, version of her father as a teen.

"You probably have but you'll have to figure it out for your self."
Smart kid. Flow sucked her lips into her mouth as she did a hard gaze at Laura's face. "Hmm. Biella huh?" She shrugged slightly and stretched. "Don't go there. I'm at rosewood." She smiled softly over at the girl, and finally it dawned on her.
"Wait.." She laughed airily softly. "You're not.. " She shook her head. There were parts of her that looked like Colette, but others that didn't. "Mrs Fox's kid... are you..?"

"Don't tell her i'm out here. You'll never get to AT with me again if you do." she winked, even though the seriousness never left her face. Laura smiled and slid of the roof doing a few summersalts in the air then rode the wall down toward the ground fast. She jumpped right before she would have hit the ground.
Laura ran up another wall and jumped onto the freeway. At one point she jumpped on the gaurd rail and grinded, sparks flew up from the wheels of her ATs. Laura laughed in delight then jumped off the the freeway and rode into Times Square, looking back to see if her new friend was following.

"Don't tell her i'm out here. You'll never get to AT with me again if you do."
Flow blinked a few times, but before she had a chance to reply, Laura was off. She sighed softly, taking to her feet and slowly riding down the wall. She quickly followed suit, grinding on the railing of the freeway behind Laura. What did she mean by that? She thought. Losing focus, she slid off the rail into the traffic. A loud shriek came from her lips as she quickly jumped into the air before a car smashed into her.
Talk about close.. She leaned against the railing, after landing, a hand over her heart. "Good god.." She breathed, a small laugh escaping her lips as her eyes trailed around, looking for Laura..

Flow almost got ran over. Laura's eyes got wide and she let her ATs carry her over to Flow. "Didn't your friends ever teach you that it's better to stay on the rail then get ran over?" Laura asked. On a rail, which slowed ATs by a fraction, a person could be going up to ninety kilometers per hour. By the time Flow hit the asfalt she was probably at 70km/h for about two seconds, giving the car ample time to hit her.
Laura smiled. "I bet you got some serious gut issues right now.. tell me when you find it." She laughed.

"Didn't your friends ever teach you that it's better to stay on the rail then get ran over?"
Flow laughed for a split second before shaking her head. "Got distracted..." She spit out softly. Her heart was still racing, what if she hadn't had time to jump? What if she did get run over, or hit? Then it all came crashing over her; where would she go? Heaven, or hell? Considering her past deeds, she figured hell.
"I bet you got some serious gut issues right now.. tell me when you find it."
Laura's words and laughter went in one ear and out the other, without Flow even flinching, or moving at all. She stood there, leaning against the rail, her arms over her stomach as she watched the cars whiz by her. "Something's gotta change.."

"Something's gotta change.." Flow said leaning over the railing. Laura went back to serious mode again and leaned with her.
"If you're saying something has to change... then it already has, you just don't know it." Who had said that to her? Laura made a sound like a bird song and watched the soundwaves bounce off of things. She wasn't used to her new powers yet, but seeing all sound was different then normal sight. She wondered if that was what bats saw all the time.
"It's like ripples in a pond.. but they're everywhere. They've all got this unique quality to them yet they're all in a way the same. Only you can make your own choices Flow.. but know that each choice affects you and those closest to you, like sound waves."

"If you're saying something has to change... then it already has, you just don't know it."
Flow broke her silent concentration on the traffic to look at Laura with a puzzled look. "Trying to be all philosophical on me?" She smirked gently at her. Sheurrging a moment later, she sighed. "I doubt that.. After what I did.." She shook her head. "Doubt anyone would ever give me a second chance."
But yet, she was in rosewood. Did Colette do a proper background check on her? Or did she just feel pitty for the poor irish girl who 'lost' her parents in a 'tragic' flood?
"It's like ripples in a pond.. but they're everywhere. They've all got this unique quality to them yet they're all in a way the same. Only you can make your own choices Flow.. but know that each choice affects you and those closest to you, like sound waves."
A slow soft smile spread over Flow's lips as she wrapped an arm around Laura and brought her close in a half hug. "Thanks." Suddenly, everything was spinning, and she saw Biella.. From a roof? Then there was Colette, and she had a kid in her arms, and a scowl on her face. Her head turned and she saw Laura, and just as fast as it started; it ended.
Flow shook her head and removed her arm. She wasn't used to her psychometry, in fact, it kind of creeped her out. She rubbed at the back of her head and looked to Laura. "So.. uh.. What was the fight about?" She asked.

Laura's face fell. "Air trecks." Laura said looking down, feeling the anger rise again, even if it had been over a week since the fight. Things kept reminding her about it. Laura punched the gaurd rail. "There's a reason i'm out here, not listening to her. I'd rather fly and forget then deal with anger and pain." I miss Amber. She left unsaid.
"ATing is my life now, i'd die without it. They're my wings and I am a bird." She said.

"Air trecks."
Made sense. Flow nodded softly, silently listening as Laura continued. "There's a reason I'm out here, not listening to her. I'd rather fly and forget then deal with anger and pain." Flow's brows furrowed. "Why are you so angry with her?" She asked softly, tilting her head to the side. "Better yet, why are you in pain?"
"ATing is my life now, i'd die without it. They're my wings and I am a bird."
Flow nodded, she felt the same some times. "Even if you do feel like that sometimes, she's still your mom, you know?" Flow offered a smile. "In her eyes, you're her little girl. She doesn't want anything bad to happen to you, y'know?" She asked, lightly hitting her with her elbow.
"I'm roomates with a mom, so I should know. Even I feel protective of that girl, and she's not even mine.."

"I don't know... it's like I can't help it... but I don't think it's because of my 'transition' either." she said. Laura looked up. "Come on, let's ride. I'll race you to Rockefeller center." Speed...

Transition? Flow's brows furrowed as she looked to Laura. She wondered then, if she was truly out here having fun, or if she was running away from it all. But she barely had the chance to ask, seeing laura was speeding off down the street.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as she pushed from the rail and flew towards Laura with as much speed as she could muster.
[[sucky. but that's what ya get with a tiny post like that lol]]

The cold wind blew through Laura's hair. The question also occured to Laura. AM I out here running away from it all... or am I just trying to have fun.
"I think it's both." Laura muttered to her self. Laura was tired of the downer talk, she wanted to have fun. When Laura was forced to think about such things while riding ATs she sucked. Laura put that conversation behind her.
Laura checked the street signs and smiled. She crouched lower trying to put more weight on her ATs and sped up. Almost like flying.

"I think it's both."
Flow nodded, speeding up slightly, crouching down before jumping over to the other end of the street as a cab flew by. Her eyes flicked to Laura, her thoughts rampant. She's lucky.. to have a ma like t'at. her Irish accent thick. I'd give anyt'in' to have m' ma back.. She shook her head, jumping slightly over a crowd of teenagers. "Sorry!" She yelled back at them.
They didn't seem to mind much, in fact some of them looked on in awe. Few seconds later they were right behind her wearing their own ATs. Flow smirked, shaking her head as she sped up towards Laura. Damn she's fast.
