Rivers watched the other two interact silently, assessing the two.  Chris was friendly enough though seemed mildly uncomfortable at meeting a complete stranger.  He hid it well though, and when the dark skinned man looked at Celeste, he was feeling a lot more comfortable until he saw her smile.  His own didn't falter, but he felt a little uncertain about where this was going.<br/><br/>Christopher felt his courage he had built up to come into a potentially crowded room to meet the newcomer drop right away when he saw the smile Celeste gave him. “Christopher darling…..” Oh shit, that can not be good. Celeste may look like a sweet little angel, but she was about as sweet as he was a social butterfly. A point proven when dark shadows wrapped around his legs like snakes.<br/><br/>But he didn’t mind, it was her unique way of interacting, it made him feel like … well they were friends and he had not had any of those before. He even allowed her to touch him, something he did not really let anyone do.Honestly, his headache was getting worse and all though this RIvers was …. Well nice looking, he meant he looked like a nice guy! But he couldn't see what was so special about him? Why had he been flooded with images of this man to the point he was at his limit?!<br/><br/>After Nadia had taken off, Celeste was left with the two men. She wasn’t sure if Nadia knew that Rhen had already gone into town to pick up some kitchen items. Well, knowing Rhen she was going for a lot more than some ingredients for beignets. Still, it wasn’t as if people weren’t free to come and go as they pleased.<br/><br/>Christopher was still kind of staring at Rivers (without realising of course) when it registered just what Celeste had said. Roommates?! What?! Why?! This place was huge! He knew there were open rooms! How could she expect him to keep him safe! He was not even sure he could keep himself alive! Ugh, his headache was bad now! Oh no she was not done yet! Training?! Now?!<br/><br/>"Roommates, huh?"  Rivers flashed Chris a crooked little smile.  He was unaware of the other staring because of his own relief.  He had been on the road with a bunch of people so sharing space with one wouldn't be so bad.  The darker man was surprised that she wanted to start training so quickly.  He knew he had some odd abilities and he had a feeling he had found some people he could relate to, but he'd like to get to know everyone first before everyone assumed he was staying.<br/><br/>Christopher spoke up about his own training shortly after. “Uh Celeste… I know I should …but I really have a really bad he..” he could not finish his sentence as the ground suddenly shook and he stumbled forward. The loud noise that came from the main street assaulted Celeste’s ears and she even ducked as if something was going to smack her in the face at any second. Christopher nearly collided with RIvers but pulled up just short. Bewildered, he stared at him. “Did you do that?”<br/><br/>As the ground shook under Rivers' feet he turned a panicked gaze toward his two companions.   "That wasn't me I swear," he says at the same time Chris asked him if it was.<i>No no no, he couldn't have done this.  He was normal!</i><br/><br/>There was a roar that was barely heard over the sound of the cracking of asphalt, but Celeste heard it. And she knew…something was going on that<i>wasn’t</i>just an earthquake. It wasn’t just some natural disaster. In fact, there was nothing natural about it at all.<br/><br/>“It wasn’t him.” She said simply, but looked toward the main street nervously.  “But it was something that we will need to handle….” Rivers breathed a sigh of relief that no one was blaming him, but soon turned towards the street to see if he could get a better look.<br/><br/>The woman let out a little breath before her body went suddenly rigid and her eyes glazed over. Instead of seeing the two men in front of her, she saw a cafe, completely destroyed with bodies on the ground and a child crying in terror.<br/><br/>Out what remained of the window, she saw the street. A large crack split the street in half and her heart seized for half a second in fear. The dust was still settling but it seemed that the people were making their way off of the street and to safety. That wasn’t the concern, but…<br/><br/><i>‘I need you now’</i><br/><br/>And then she snapped back into her own body and blinked nervously. “Oh…” Her eyes fell onto the two men before her. “Okay, we don’t have any time. We need to get downtown, and I need you both. We are going to need everyone. This wasn’t just an earthquake…”<br/><br/>Celeste wasn’t sure what to expect and if it was something that would take all of them, she wasn’t going to risk not having them all there. When Celeste said she needed Rivers, he was confused.   "Wait a minute!  If it wasn't an earthquake, what was it?"<br/><br/>What it was honestly was not Christophers’ biggest concern; why he didn't see it coming was!! This was major, how did he miss this?! What use was he if he missed major fucking earthquakes only to see…..he does not even know how many little clips of<i>this </i>guy getting on and off some busses!?  It had to be<i>his </i>fault somehow! His headache had reached a point he was feeling dizzy, but he kept quiet about it, he already failed everyone once today.<br/><br/>Celeste led the other two down into the city, her guard up. “Be cautious. Keep your eyes and senses open. Whatever is here…is supernatural and we need to be prepared.” It didn’t take long to get to the street and what they saw made her lose her breath. The giant crack in the road was wider and deeper than she would have thought. Celeste moved to the edge and a few bits of rubble disappeared down the hole.<br/><br/>The sound of a stone bouncing against the edge sounded out until it faded…never hitting the bottom. Celeste looked over at the boys.<br/><br/>Celeste looked around and saw Rhen by a crumbled building. She instantly waved to her. “Rhen!” She seemed relieved to see her and immediately ran to her, wrapping her arms around her. Checking her over, she sighed. “Are you hurt? What happened?” Over Rhen’s shoulder, she could see Nadia and put her fingers to her mouth, whistling to catch the other woman’s attention.<br/><br/>The whistle cut through Christophers head like a fucking knife, he physically winced in pain, holy shit his head was killing him, there was no way he could forse a vision in this state,he considered telling Celeste that he would be dead weight if not flat out in the way like he was now, but already feeling useless he just kept his mouth shut.<br/><br/>“Nadia! Over here!” As the group was together once more, Celeste held Rhen’s hand as she looked over them all. “Okay so…you two have been here longer so maybe you have more of an idea of what happened, but…” A loud roar echoed over the street and cut her off. She gasped a bit and turned her head down the street as civilians ran down the street from an alleyway. Nothing immediately followed them out, but as the group inched closer to the alleyway another loud roar echoed, closer to them.<br/><br/>From the entrance to the alleyway, an eight foot tall Minotaur stood not fifty feet from them and snorted hot, angry air as the red eyes stared down at them. Celeste’s eyes widened and she looked at her group. Her brows furrowed as she tried to think of a plan, but it was Christopher who moved first.<br/><br/>Chris felt his stomach drop, what in the holy blue FUCK was that?! They were getting attacked by cattle now? Honestly his head hurt so bad he may just be seeing things at this point. He swallowed the bile in his throat, he considered trying to force one last vision and keep his fingers crossed it was a good one, but he honestly don’t know if he would be able to stay conscious if this headache got any worse. Everybody seemed as stunned as he was, okay good,not hallucinating then.<br/><br/>If he could not force another vision (and he was REALLY hoping that he did not get another uncalled one) he basically screwed. He hated his damned visions, but he had become really dependent on them to keep him out if situation exactly like this. These women were going to be the death of him! Usually his visions would show him where that thing would go next in order for him to avoid it or set a trap. Oh how he wished he could avoid it! Christopher never thought of himself as brave, but he would also never abandon a friend.<br/><br/>The street was a mess, scattered with random objects, one of them being an air cylinder, to his horror he realized it must be from a medical center he knew were close by. The bottle was angled to the creature, it was a long shot, a really long shot, but he had to try something right. There was a officer lying about 4 steps away from them, he was not moving, dead or just knocked out, Chris didn’t know, but he moved as quickly as he could,startling everyone including the creature that had been staring them down, he grabbed the gun from the cops belt, he just knew bullets won’t do much (it hardly ever did) but he was a fair shot, and he was not aiming at the creature, he was aiming for the bottle. Even he was slightly surprised when he managed to hit the head of the nozzle dead on and the bottle took off towards the creature like a rocket.
