"He's always like that... Well, not always, but mostly," Anthony answered, shrugging. "He doesn't like me 'cause I'm not good at the whole black magic thing. Oh well~" The three of them reached Heidi's house, and Anthony held the door open for his friend and her cat. "After you," he said.

Heidi laughed slightly and walked through the door "Dad, I'm ho-" she cut herself off, coughing "it reeks of tobacco in here!" she exclaimed, her eyes watering from the lingering scent.
"dammit!" Thomas said to himself as he went to meet his daughter "I forgot to clear out the doorway!"
"Hey, Heidi, did you enjoy your walk?" he asked, smiling weakly, before noticing Anthony "I see Anthony's still with you...come in, both of you"

"Don't mind if I do," Anthony said, making himself comfortable on the couch. Scrap did the same on Anthony's stomach. "So, wassup Mr. Heidi's Dad?"

Thomas rubbed the back of his neck nervously "it's nothing, Anthony, just..." he took a deep breath and turned to his daughter "Heidi, did I ever tell you about how your mother and I met?" he asked simply.
She frowned. "Dad, you've told me this before. You and Mom met on a hiking trip somewhere around Norway, right?"
He took a deep breath "That...might not have been the entire truth...you've got her wings, you know..."
Heidi froze "what?"

John Mayer was a man with a plan. Or something resembling a plan. Or rather, he had had something close to a plan when he woke up this morning. But then he had walked outside, only to see a strange man skulking about in his neighbor's yard. Granted, his neighborhood was far from "normal", but usually the skulking strangers were kept to a minimum. He decided to water his plants, but keep an eye on the situation quietly. He watched through his fence as the neighbor girl left the house with... Wings. The girl had wings. Of course. John decided to stay in his own yard and mind his own business.

Anthony just watched, but Scrap perked up expectantly. If Thomas was on board with the whole thing, then Scrap would have both Heidi AND Anthony as world-dominating partners. And that.... That would be a dream come true.
Leo found himself scrutinizing a fire hydrant when he came to his senses after a ten minute black-out, caused by his amulet. He was always tempted to take it off after a big inconveniencing such as this, but he knew taking it off would be a disaster for everyone except himself, and potentially Anthony. It was the only thing suppressing his magic, and the only thing stopping him from going completely off the deep end. That had happened three times in the past, and it had not been pretty.
Sighing, Leo decided it was time to get to work on his official assignment. The Valkries had ordered him to find more people like Heidi, which was less difficult than it sounded. So far the Valkries had recruited a kid who could set things on fire, two adults who could teleport to any place they could picture in their heads, and a teen who could hide in the shadows of other people. Word of people with crazy-ass abilities like that traveled fast.

ooc: Boom, I think you're a scene off or so :/ but, hey, cool way to introduce a character =P
bic: "Your mother saved my life, during that trip" Thomas said quietly "I...I slipped and began to fall from one of the cliffs, when suddenly, there's this figure that comes out of nowhere, and catches me! I didn't really believe it at first but, well...here I am so, I guess that says something." he added with a slight laugh "But, from there, it pretty much went as I've always said. We talked, and talked, and eventually fell in love, married, had you...then the story shifts a bit."
Heidi listened intently "...I see..." she said quietly
"A few months after you were born, your mother told me that there was a threat to the world, and that she had to go fight with "her sisters", or something to that effect...she promised she'd be back but...well, the world was saved, as far as I know...and I still haven't heard any word. Nobody ever came to me with information, and, well, I assumed the worst. That's why I could never really tell you, Heidi, and, I'm sorry I've kept the truth from you for so long. But, your mother...she was a valkryie, Heidi, just like those legends, and, I guess that makes you one too, or, at least, half of one..." he was quiet for a moment "Felix tells me that the "children of the valkryies" need to be gathered in order to save the world...but...I don't want to lose you like I lost your mother..."

Deciding that he needed to figure out what exactly was going on in his neighbor's house, John started to walk across the lawn, fully intent on making up some bull crap excuse for him stopping by when he got there. He paused on the front porch, observing everything.

Leo glanced back at Heidi's house one last time before teleporting off somewhere, and instantly regretted it. There was some guy peering into the window, probably hearing everything about the Valkries. Unacceptable. Hating his job, Leo began the long walk back to Heidi's house, hoping that the guy wouldn't run off before he got there.
"What are Valkryies?" Anthony asked. He thought his bro might've mentioned those once, but he wasn't sure.

Heidi remained silent as Thomas replied "Valkryies are beings from Norse mythology, who are said to collect the spirits of fallen soldiers in battle, and take them to Vahalla, or something like that. Of course, in the modern day, their kind has been hiding out, since, according to the one or two I've talked to, besides my wife, their responsibilities "lie elsewhere". Of course, there's also the group that call themselves "Valkryies" in honor of them but, they aren't really Valkryies...at least, most of them aren't...to my knowledge..."

OOC: As much as I hate to admit it, I'm super sleepy. I don't think I can keep going tonight. And I probably won't be on tomorrow, but I'll try. I need to go to bed. Sorry I'm leaving so soon!
