"Ok since I haven't really been part of the background to this I know I don't really have a right to comment but usually I woulod say that's a bit headstrong. What warrants us making the first move this time?"
"Charlie, you've been away too long to play the watcher. Right now just act the footsoldier."
I nodded, knowing she was right and even though I wasn't going to like it I would have to bite my tongue. "So who else is joining us?" I asked looking around at the group already assembled. I'm guessing there's been some other comings and goings since I was here. That right?"

"Julia and Kayley should be here, and Mai and Josh. I don't know, the group isn't as together as it was, of course. Not without its heart."

I nodded. So things hadn't changed too much.
"How are you holding up?" I asked, looking at Jessy. "I mean, I guess when it's someone you care about that much..." I didn't finish. Instead I looked awkwardly down at my feet trying to hold on to the emotionless exterior I had worked so hard on, trying to ignore any personal involvement, trying to forget that this was my baby's father on the line, trying to keep that piece of the past buried.

"We're ok," I murmured, turning ever so slightly away from her. "I was worried about you. Doc has a mania about his children, including Zoe and, in a lesser way, myself. The fact that you were untracable... I always fear the worst."

((Rogue's locked up. Jessy doesn't trust her to be out. She's not going to be part of the big battle unless someone goes into the cells.))

I knew, as if she'd told me that things weren't fine but part of being emotionless was to ignore that. I told myself it was because she didn't want to talk but really...well I guess I wasn't ready to hear it. I wanted to make this another fight, that's why I was there. I wanted to ignore how it would affect people in any way other than physical.
"Well I'm fine, and Zoe too. Business to deal with in parts distant etc. We're untracable for protection mainly but there are ways to get hold of me. I guess if Doc gets back to normal I'll have to leave some contact details so he can reach his daughter. Was he really mad when I took her away?"

"Not dat he'd show it, if you don' mind a word from de 'impudent vampire," Des said with a scowl, dropping a tatty leather bound book on the table.

(((Really wants Mai to turn up so sher can do big speach)))
I winced, turning on my heel. "Do I look like I could use insubordination, Des?"

'So that's how things are.' I thought to myself looking more carefully at Jessy. She seemed different from when I had last seen her, so much less childish excitement and enthusiasm. I knew the two of us had some similarities in our pasts but now...well now it looked as if Jess was catching up with me. So much of her attitude screamed out parallels with how I had acted, still did act. That moment, just the complete rejection of the vampire brought flashbacks of all my hatred for non-humans, seriously toned down by now but not gone but the book on the table appealed to another side of my nature that I knew she shared.
"Hey, watcher junior. You wanna put the pummeling off for a while and heve a look over here."
'And there's another lesson, i thought wryly to myself. Just focus on the job.' At the same time though I was curious about Des' comment and about just how mad Doc would be when he saw me again, especially given our history.

((Part of why Rogue would kill Jess right now. Jess threatened her kids so Rogue's pretty much if I wasn't in here I'd beat the crap out of you XD ))

"Watcher senior, technically. I'm this area's watcher, not you, understand?" It wasn't a question, it was a command. People had to understand that I was in charge, I controlled what they did and what they didn't do, and if I had had to treat them like total shit in order to get them to understand, then so be it. And anyway, hadn't I already decided taht the change would be so much easier if they didn't care, if they hated me? I'd done a good enough job with Rogue, now it was a question of persuading the others to feel just the way she did.
