It was odd. She was back and for once the world was not ending. She wondered what was going to happen to make her want the world to end. This just all didn't add up. She had been gone too long she supposed.
She sighed as she flopped onto the couch and looked for the remote around the room. She spotted it across the room and she sighed and held out her hand as the romote made it's way to her hand. She changed the channle wondering if there was someone hiding in here wether it be by invisibility or chamelian like abilities. Well she wasn't going to end up sitting here and watch the football all day. If someone did happen to be in there she was sure she'd get protest, but oh well. It was Sunday and it was race day. |

Schatten heard the sigh, and used his powers to make himself seem like a shadow on the wall. He loved doing this to people; making them freak out by all of a sudden popping out from a shadow near or on the furniture or even a shadow in a car. However, unlike normal, Schatten revealed himself and walked up behind the couch a girl was sitting on and he himself issued a loud sigh. That was when he returned is attention to the television screen. To his surprise, the girl was watching a race. However, Schatten couldn’t complain; he just about liked watching television as someone would like sticking needles in their eyes.
Schatten the made an attempt to straighten his hair with his hand, and it failed miserably. It was still as messy as when he woke up that day. Oh well, he wasn’t one to care about his looks, after all, his ripped jeans and black tee shirt he was wearing told all. He might have been twenty-five, but the way he dressed made him seem younger. By that, Schatten was rather pleased; he knew he was getting older, but he refused to go past twenty-one. He remembered the times when he was actually twenty-one. His first drink of real alcohol. However in his mind, that was such a long time ago, when it really wasn’t. |

"What you're not going to hide from me?" Rae asked not taking her eyes from the screen. Kyle Busch had taken the lead again. Now if only someone would throw that stupid arrogant ass into a wall. Then her day might become a bit more interesting and more enjoyable. She turned the tv off completely when she heard that Kasey Kahne was in the garage and was forty some odd laps down.
"So didja miss me?" she asked turning slightly so she could at least look at him. Schatten had been one of her favorite people at this place. |

With appearances always being deceiving, Schatten didn’t recognize Rae until she spoke. “No.” Schatten said shortly, and simply. “So, it seems as though Kasey is your favorite. Am I right?” He asked her. “I myself think racing is a drag, but what can I say?” When she asked if he missed her, Schatten smirked. “Headquarters just isn’t the same without you, but, I’ve managed.” Schatten shrugged. “While you were gone, did ya miss me?” His smirk was replaced with a broad smile and he moved around so that he could sit on the couch next to her. Sometimes Schatten wondered why he even began to befriend some of the people here, including Rae. It seemed so weird, but at the same time, nice. At least he had friends, and he helped them, and vice versa. Schatten ran another hand through his hair, but this time it was out of slight boredom. |

"If I said no would you be mad?" she asked not meaning the question at all. "Of course I missed you. Who could not miss you?" she asked. "If I'm being honest you're probably the reason why I came back. Other then of course the government can make me do whatever they want. Got to love that."
"So has it been that long that you couldn't recognize me at first?" she asked him. She knew that she probably wouldn't have recognized him at first and that her always active telepathy was the only reason that she had known that it was him standing behind her. |

“Me, mad at you? Hell no; even if I was I couldn’t be for long, you know that Rae!” Schatten exclaimed, but he knew that Rae was joking. When she said that she missed him, Schatten placed a hand on his heart. “I’m flattered Rae, honest. I was not expecting that.” He said with a hint of teasing. Of course he was expecting it. Schatten let out a light sigh, and opened his mouth to reply. “No, it’s just that some people have the power to take on the forms of other people and I wasn’t entirely sure it was really you.” He bowed his head and opened his mouth to speak again. “I am sorry for not recognizing you right away, I had a guess it was you, I should have followed it." |

"Don't worry about it," Rae said. "You're right though it could have been someone else. How can you even be sure that it's me right now? Or that I'm still on yourside and that I wasn't sent here to kill you all?" Rae was being practical as always but it was really her. Though now a days nobody could be sure of who was who. There were too many villians.
"Come on sit down," Rae said. "I've been gone for three months I want to know what's been going on around here and especially with you. Anybody lucky enough to become special to you?" She asked teasing him as always. When she was around Schatten she felt normal or as normal as a genetically altered freak could around her. |

Schatten rolled his eyes and looked at her. “I know it’s you because of what you asked. Besides, you’re still the same old Rae, open as a book.” He smirked as she told him to sit down, and as Rae continued to ask questions, Schatten rolled his eyes again. “No one’s special to me. I have no crushes on anybody yet, nor do I think anyone has one on me. Correct me if I’m wrong though.” He said with a rather teasing tone. He crossed his arms and rested them on his stomach. “I’ll tell ya one thing though; it’s been boring around here.” |

"How can nobody love the always adorable and cranky you?" Rae asked. "And I"m not as open as a book. Name five people who know where I grew up and I'm not just talking about the city either." True people knew that she was from Alabama, but not an orphanage that was normally something that she kept to herself.
"Boring. I figured that," Rae said when Schatten said that things had gotten boring around here. "That's kind of why I left in the first place. Maybe next time I"ll have to smuggle you out with me in my dufflebag. But things have been that boring huh?"
She sighed feeling sorry for him that things had been that bad. "Well I'm back now must mean the world is coming to an end somehow. So maybe you should enjoy the boredom while it lasts?" |

“It’s because of the ‘cranky’ part.” Schatten said and stuck his tongue out at her. “Okay, fine. You’re not that open. Just to me, and that has to be saying something. Besides, I’ve never told anyone where I’m really from.” Schatten replied. Okay, maybe by his name they could figure that he was German, but what they didn’t know that he was also French, and he grew up in Coos county, New Hampshire. People who wanted to be something, couldn’t be from Coos county, they had to be from at least Boston.
“Well you won’t have to smuggle me, I can hide myself; with my friends, the shadows.” Schatten replied. It was true. Whenever he was in the shadows, he was automatically hidden by them. “Yeah, maybe I should; or maybe I should at least make an effort to protect something other than a pile of rubble, which will soon be the city.” Schatten shook his head. It seems as though they were both right. |

"I do hope you're not implying that I need protecting," Rae said. Was he really implying that. "Well at least somebody wants to keep me safe and I can use the company. Just remember I'm not Lois Lane wait no she needs saving which is even worse. I think I'll just take the protecting instead."
Rae had missed this. She missed the easiness that she could feel around people ok person. She missed the feeling of trust that actually did exist and she missed the feeling of security that she could get without having to worry about having to look over her shoulder constantly. She remembered suddenly a big part of the reason that she came back and she couldn't help but blurt something out.
"I did something stupid while I was gone, Schatten," she said compeletly serious." |
