Tren's grin took up his face. "Just what I was thinkin' daughter of mine. Let's show them the meaning of surprise!" He winked and then they disappeared into the Void so they could "say hi" to Jestin and his group.

( It's 'Jestin', by the way. xD! )
Inside the Dagger Flick HQ, it was messy, slightly moldy, and had the tinge of unwashed males in the air. But it was empty, save one person--Jestin. Echidna almost gagged at the smell.
Jestin jumped to his feet, having been typing something in on a keyboard. At first he was surprised, but then his eyes narrowed in recognition.
"It's you..."

Tren felt slightly sickened by the scent in the air as well, but he showed no sign.
He gave off a big grin and did what Mar would have done. "Yo!" He held his hand up in a half wave.
He glanced about the room and shook his head. "Man, you need to hire yourself a housekeeper otherwise you'll never live past thirty-five kid." He looked back at Jestin, the grin still there, but his eyes were full of warning toward him and told him that they were here on serious business.

Jestin cooly crossed his arms, but you could tell that he was going a bit pale. But it was obvious he knew why they were here.
"I will never tell you where she is. Not even if--"
"Jestin! She's trying to break loose from the basement again! No matter what we do to her, she just keeps on going! ...Jestin? Are you there?" The voice came from the laptop speaker behind him.
Echidna grinned. "You were saying?"

Tren tried to hold back a laugh. It sounded like she was having a ball and he almost itched to join her.
"Well, well, looks like you don't have to say a word Jestin." Tren glanced at Echidna. "Shall we? Or do you wanna take care of him first?"
He cracked his knuckles, trying to intimidate the smelly group leader. "You call it daughter."

Jestin unfolded his arm, his anger apparent.
"Alow me to decide for you!" Jestin turned to his laptop and spoke into the speakers. "Finish her off, now! I don't care what you do--just do it!"
Echidna gasped slightly. If they did as he said, then they woud be way too late!

Tren's patience snapped at that instant and the once calm look in his eyes was replaced with anger. He had been in such a good mood too.
He didn't even give Jestin a chance to react, but instantly, and with quite a bit of force, smashed Jestin through the wall behind him, not even allowing his mind a moment to register it was unconscious. Then, in that same instant Tren disappeared down stairs and began knocking guys about the room, all of them flying in different directions, though he managed to miss Jia Li completely.
He dashed about the room, as a flash of speed, only taking exactly 1.4 seconds to knock them all out and still have time to push himself off afterward.
He paused, admiring his handy work, while still brushing the small amount of dust on his jacket, and then looked at Jia Li. "Hey, you okay?"

Jai Li was in the center of the murky room, various cuts and bruises upon her figure. She slowly stood, her blue hair tangled and tinged with dark red. Her eyes widened at the site of Tren.
"Tren? But how..." she winced, for it seemed to hurt to breath now that she was standing up. Her chest hurt terribly.
Echidna finally burst in, and blinked at all of the boys on the floor. Then she hurried to Jai Li, and gently held her up, jut in case she were to faint. Jia Li couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you...I had a feeling I shouldn't have given up hope."

Tren shrugged at her surprise. They could explain later.
He pulled off his jacket and wrapped it around her. "It's a good thing you didn't give up." He smiled kindly, and ever so carefully picked her up into his warm, strong arms and then glanced at Echidna. "Time to go." He touched her shoulder and they disappeared and reappeared outside of Mirage's house. They didn't want to scare anybody.
He slowly opened the door and walked in as carefully as possible. "Echidna, would you mind finding her a comfortable bed real quick?"

Echidna nodded. "Just follow me to Desiree's room--her bed is nice and soft." Echidna led the way, lightly stepping over the sleeping forms that lounged on the floor.
Echidna opened the room door, and turned a light on. She made sure the bed was fine to lay her own, and stepped aside so Tren could.
----
In the kitchen, Felix suddenly perked up. He felt...different. He peeked hsi head out to barely see Tren's tail disapear around the corner. Curious he followed. Wondering what the heck they could possibly be doing in Deairee's room, he stepped in and stopped dead. It was...Jia Li...

Tren placed Jia Li on the bed and his tail twitched. He turned to see Felix and smiled. He placed his finger to his lips. "Shhh. We went for a walk...and guess what we found." He winked. "Don't tell anyone, okay? Not till tomorrow."
He yawned tiredly and stretched. It had been a long day and he had never used so much speed at one time. It made him sleepy.
He blinked and walked passed Felix and out of the room. "I'm going to bed now Echidna. Take care of her please." He yawned once more and waved at her and then walked back into the living room. He still need to confront Saiyomi about all of this, so he would need his sleep.

Felix stood, mouth slightly open, as Tren walked pass him. Echidna gave Felix a smile, and motioned for him to come over and help her.
Desiree was still in the room, scribbling away. She had written out the report for the President, and had sent it out on its way. But now she was halfway done with her test, and her brain felt like goopy mush. This is what she gets for missing a year and a half of her last days of school.
-----
Morning came, it was cheerful and oddly fresh.
In the living room, Francine was stretched out in a silly fashion on the couch with Breeze stretched out across her stomach. Mirage was curled up on the floor, and Aidan was sprawled out where he had landed last night on the floor near Core.
In Desiree's room, Felix was sleeping in a sitting position in the desk chair, and Echidna was asleep with her back against the bed, in a sitting position as well. They had managed to get to the worse of Jia Li's injuries and bandaged them up.
In the room where Desiree was taking her test, she wrote the last answer and shouted for joy. She scanned it in to the near by computer, and sent it on it's way. Her second shut of joy traveled throughout the house.
----
Aidan grunted, then jumped to hsi feet, his hat falling off to reveal his morning-messy, ruffled hair. "What the heck was that?!"

Core stirred on the floor, where he had been curled up, his ears twitching from Desiree and then Aidan. He forced one eye open to glance at Aidan, but quickly shut it again. It was too bright. He had had a good sleep and wasn't ready to get up just yet.
Tren stretched from his position next to Mirage, his tail swishing pleasantly. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes sleepily and then smiled. "Calm down Aidan. That was just Desiree finishing her test." He blinked the sleep away.
Core opened his eyes now and sat up, his eyebrow raised. "You mean she's been doing that thing all night?"
Tren nodded in mid yawn. "Yup. I'm surprised you didn't hear the pencil all night. It kept me up for sometime." He popped his back into place and stood. "Time for breakfast." He wandered toward Kitchen.
Core stood also and walked to the room where Desiree was. He peaked in carefully, curious about what he was going to see, his ear perked for any sound. Gently he knocked on the door. "Desiree?"

The door pulled open, and Desiree shot out into Core's arms.
"I finally finished! And I just got the scores back--not perfect, but I passed!" she was obviously joyed, but you could tell she was tired, her eyes almost bloodshot.
Mirage stirred, and sat up at Desiree's words. She smiled while rubbing her right eye. "Good for you, at least that is out of the way." Francine just mumbled and buried her face into the couch pillows, making Breeze slide off onto the floor.
"Yep! And I did the report, too! Man, my brain hurts..."

Core smiled at hearing this. "That's great! So, no more tests and stuff, right? You can sleep at last huh?"
Tren peaked into the room, wearing an apron, and gave her a wink and a thumbs-up. "Go Desiree, now freshen up and come have breakfast, then you can take a nap or something while I inform Saiyomi about what's been goin' on."
His head disappeared then and humming could be heard while the smell of bacon and eggs, along with hot cocoa filled the room.
