Some started pinching his cheeks, others his arms, all cooing over his cuteness. There were a few pretty girls around his age who seemed to have fallen for him at first sight.

"I'm sure Wolfe's going to call a meeting soon... let's have some fun while we can," he teased.

"Please stay," Laurel pleaded quietly, "... just for a little while."

Fin seemed very out of place. He didn't let Raven leave him alone.

"Uh..." Yue replied, "... You sure you don't want to catch up with everyone else?"

Nic sighed before nodding a little. But he still tried to pry Laurel off.

One girl started to hit on Raven only to be reminded by the others that he was gay. And once more the attention returned to Fin. One girl asked for his name.

James shook his head, smiled down at her.

Once Nic nodded, Laurel let go, laying back on the bed and resting though her eyes never left Nic.

Raven caught up with a few people he knew while keeping an eye on Fin. Fin paused before telling them it was Fin.

Yue seemed a little worried, but smiled back.

Nic pulled a chair up to the bed and sat down.

The girls concluded loudly that Fin was a very cute name. A few of the girls who had talked the most to Raven asked if he'd hooked up with Wolfe yet.

James blinked, "What did I do now?" he asked, a little complaint in his voice.

"I have a secret," Laurel whispered hesitantly, though that much would have been perfectly obvious to Nic already.

Raven kept the girls guessing. For now.

"Nothing," Yue reassured James, rubbing his arm a little. "I'm just trying not to stir the water too much."

So Nic waited for Laurel to speak.

The girls whined a little, attention slipping from Fin as they wanted to know the status of Waven. That's what they'd started to call them.

James sighed a little, she had a point. "Well alright," he replied, "I guess you're right. Don't think I'm putting you second though," said the passive james.

Laurel paused for a long moment, "... You'll want to leave if I tell you," she whispered.

Fin took the chance to escape.

Yue kissed James on the cheek. "Never," she replied.

Nic still didn't say anything.

Long had fallen asleep in the medical Juttle and was finally starting to come around.

James smiled before kissing Yue's hand and turning to greet some of the girls.

Long woke to Rosen's quiet cursing. He was too tired to make more noise but the great pain was clear in his voice. He clearly had no pain tolerance at all. Snow was no where to be seen.

Laurel watched Nic for a long moment, "Are you sure you want to know?" she whispered.

So Yue let James socialize, going to clean up a little.

So Long slowly got up before finding some strong pain medication and giving it to Rosen.

Nic paused before nodding.

Rosen blinked groggily as the pain medication ran it's course. He glanced at Long before wincing. Even the potent pain meds didn't seem to be fully covering his pain.

Laurel took in a slow breath, closing her eyes for a moment before looking back at Nic with a look of determination, "I know where the lab is."

Long didn't give Rosen any more since he didn't know more about how much his body could handle.

Nic didn't say anything, expression somehow remaining the same.

Rosen groaned a little, "Knock..." he muttered, "out."

Laurel didn't seem surprised as she continued to stare at Nic.

Long paused before nodding. He put a hand on Rosen's shoulder, feeling around before knocking him out painlessly. Then he gave Rosen an injection to keep him out for longer.

After a long moment and asked neutrally, "Why not tell anyone?"

Snow came back, "Good, you knocked him out," she observed, "Now's a good time to move him in then."

"Because I'd die," she stated simply.

Long nodded, moving to help Snow.

Nic nodded a little, running a hand on her head gently. "Don't tell anyone," he agreed.
