Chapter 2
"Dave! Get back to the house now!" Dirk yelled as he flew at his brother again. Dave thought he was clever in that instant, moving the board to distract his brother while countering, but Dave forgot that Dirk taught him that move. Dave found his counter stopped before he could fully execute it, and then found himself before carried off by his brother
"Bro. What the fuck!?" Dave yelled, seeing as his brother was carrying him away to John's house.
"You do not have permission to use one of my damn boards. Now make your make out with your boyfriend nice and enjoyable cause I'm not letting you out of the house for a while." He said as he threw Dave into the window that John had opened.
"Ouch...hey Dave. Hey Dirk." John said. He stood there in his normal hoodie, phone in his hand as he messaged Dave's glasses. Dave turned the glasses off, allowing him to see his boyfriend fully.
"Hey. So what's up?"
"Well, we need to get on the server to see." John said, as he pressed a button on his phone, running some program. The program was a client program devised by the group's computer person and John, set up to allow them private chatting with their friends. Dave looked at the program as it requested a nametag. Nametag, Ip, what else does this damn thing want Dave laughed to himself as John typed in both of their normal identifiers, "Turntechgodhead and Ectobiologist."
Tg&Eb joined the chat
Cg: TOOK YOU GUYS LONG ENOUGH!
Tg: yo dude. shut up. what's going on?
Eb: Ya. what is going on that you told me to call Tg?
Ga: I Believe I Can Explain. About Ten Minutes Ago I Rescued A Psionic From Two People.
Eb: What do you mean by that?
"Damnit John. You promised that you'd stop getting involved in this shit." Dave said, pissed that his boyfriend is still involved with his friend's shit.
"I didn't know till just now!" John said.
"Then why where you going all Astral and shit while I was at house?"
"...I...how did you know that?" John asked.
"I can tell! And let me guess, "Hey john! use your fucking powers to play eye in the sky for us." He said pissed.
John was about to respond when a loud beep was heard. The two looked over and saw that Kanaya had left them a giant message explaining the psionic she found. The pair sighed after reading it and Dave said that he'd take John to the hideout.
"Dirk. Please-" Dave began but was cut off.
"Be happy my man asked of this. otherwise the answer would've been no." Dirk said as he threw the rocketboard at John.
Kanaya finished typing her message and walked over to the man sitting on the couch in her mansion, aka the hideout. She smiled and sat down by him, holding a wet towel. "Hello young man. I'm Kanaya. And you?" She looked at the young man, who stared at her for a while.
"how did we get here? and why were you glowing?" He asked, confused about everything.
"Oh goodness. I'm sorry. I forgot to allow you to see with my powers as well. With my powers, I am able to bend light, in process appearing invisible. I have little practice with other people however, so I guess you could not see me. My apologies. I took us to my house."
"Okay. I am Solluxander" The teen finally said, lisping slightly.
"Hello Solluxander. I hope you know you are safe here from those two agents." Kanaya paused as she cleaned the young man before her. She paused, looking at his arms and seeing the cuts that lined them before looking at his body. "How long have you been being chased?" She asked
"A month. Those scars, came from elsewhere"
Kanaya nodded quietly, wiping down the cuts also, noticing a few were newer, seeming to have been made the day before at latest. "Be careful to bandage yourself. Prevent infection Solluxander."
He looked at her in shock as she wiped the cuts, not scolding him on the cuts, but only on the possibility of infection. Why did she say that? Why does she care? must be my powers he thought to himself.
"My friends will be here soon. Please be nice to them okay?" Kanaya said as she walked over and grabbed a small glass of wine for herself to wait. Solluxander looked at her in shock.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"I will be 17 next month." She stated softly. "As a fellow psionic, you should understand how our kind have...vices to keep ourselves sane." She added solemnly. The doorbell rang, causing both members to jump and look over. Kanaya placed the glass down before walking over, elegantly walking to the door and opening up to see two of the five people that were supposed to meet up today here. She moved by, letting Karkat and Nepeta.
"We're here." John said, as the two flew down to the house. They saw that Karkat and Nepeta had already entered into the house and followed after. "Hey guys." John said
"Good evening Jonathon. I hope Dave treated you well on your flight?" Kanaya asked, looking at gorgeous as ever. She was a model as well as a student at the school, so it was of small surprise that she looked amazing always.
"Shut up Kanaya. Save your sass for my sister, not for me." Dave said as he walked into the other room with John following, the latter laughing slightly.
"He speaks of me as if I was not here." Rose said, walking from behind, showing herself to have been hidden the entire time.
"Hello Rose." Kanaya said as she walked over and kissed her girlfriend.
"Eridan."
"Yes Feferi?"
"Can you go for al ittle bit. I'm sure Vriska and Terezi need you." Feferi said as she hugged her brother. He smiled slightly before leaving, leaving the house to find Vriska and Terezi arguing at base, their boss watching them.
"What the hell am I supposed to do when you move the asshole out of my range!"
"What happened?" eridan asked.
"Vriska let the target escape."
"Fuck you bitch. The asshole psionic had an accomplice. She teleported him or some shit."
"Teleportation. Speak more on this now child." The boss said, projecting his voice.
"Well, there was a giant burst of life coming from her, after she walked over to him glowing. I was unable to shoot before they vanished."
"Doubt it was teleportation. Might've been an illusion vriska." Terezi said.
"Where you unable to track her Ter?" Eridan asked.
"She was out of my range. Vriska ran them both out, and I am not sure where to look. It takes a lot of work to find a specific mind in this city. It'll take me a few weeks before I can get a chance to track them again."
"Hurry up then. Also bring this other girl. The doctor will want both psionics. You two are now dismissed." The boss said, leaving.
"Fuckin' Kur is a bitch to deal with when he's tired." Eridan said to his friends. The three of them went out to eat that night.
"So tell us about yourself Solluxander." Kanaya said gently, smiling to the newest member of the group.
"Well...I like computers and games." He said, looking away, his arms covered in the long sleeve shirt that Kanaya gave him.
"I see. Karkat if you would please give him the program for the messenger you set up."
"You set up a messenger?" Solluxander asked the shorter of the guys. He growled in response.
"Yes I did. I know how to work a computer." He said.
"Okay sorry man. What language did you use?"
"The easiest of them all python. No one would think to look for a messenger that requires python to run."
"Hehe. true but still funny that I'm guessing the expert programmer uses python."
"I know other languages fucker!" Karkat yelled in anger.
"This will be a truly entertaining night Kanaya." Rose said, looking at the two computer geeks arguing.
