The World Remastered

Saw that, baby girl. *Juju said to Stella not Turning back to look at her. She giggled at Tak as he barked like a puppy and went to make him a sandwich too. At T3's tone she made herself look busy as she made the sandwich. She was not getting into that one. When it came to Keely and 'family' business, Juju knew T3 got worried. as much as they bickered, those two were best friends. She also worried about the girl but Keely was not easily swayed.*

*Zane raised an eyebrow and looked to Clara as T3 snapped, looking for an answer. He knew he was new to all this but T3 seemed especially annoyed by this.*

Really *Tak shrugged some at T3's accusations* Coincidence would have it she did. *He gave his back pocket a pat* I'll keep it safe until she gets back. Five bucks says she's back after helping Tanner. *He watched T3 become totally involved in his phone. He could deal with the teen's weak anger. He understood it, he felt guilty about it, but he wasn't worried about it* Can I have one of those sandwiches? *He left T3 alone, turning back to Juju* Then we need to chat outside for a second. *He scratched at a spot behind his ear*

*T3 shook his head* Whatever. *He worked on the messages he sent back and forth to his brother, still not looking up at his gym leader* Crap and you know it.

*Stella drank her milk and ate her stuff, kicking her feet as she sat there quietly. When there was a lull in the conversation she took it upon herself to fill it by yelling the word crap*

*Inline looked sheepish as she took a drink of her tea. She swallowed when she saw Zane's look. She bit her lip, trying to think of how to respond to him. Finally, she just mouthed the words big trouble to her friend. She sighed at T3's next snap and mouthed I'll explain later to Zane. At Stella she giggled, shaking her head*

*Juju looked from Tak to T3 and noted the boy's anger. Tak took her attention then, giving him a nod she started making him a monster of a sandwich, which was everything the wolf liked. The fae paused when he said they needed to talk, but quickly finished the sandwich.* Ahh, Gym word. *Juju said to Stella as she handed the sandwich to Tak.

*Zane nodded his head to Clara. He would wait, but he felt bad as he could tell it was upsetting to T3. He didn't look at the boy's phone as he went because he didn't want pry.*

Thank you. *Tak gave her a strained smile. At the boy's comment he sighed before nodding toward the door* Let's give him a minute. We need to chat. Inline watch Stella *He took a big bite of his sandwich before he headed for the door, steeling him for the next fun conversation*

*Inline sighed at the tense atmosphere, only to giggle lightly at Stella* Yeah Gym word *The little girl stuck her tongue out at the teen and she giggled again. When Tak told her to watch Stella she nodded* Sure thing. I bet we can get Paw Patrol on this thing. *She lifted up the remote to the TV that was hiding in the corner* What do you think?

*Stella giggled at Juju* Gym word *She promised, eating another cheeto. She stuck her tongue out at Inline. At the mention of the show she blinked* Paw Patrol? *She slid off the chair and walked over, holding her arms up to Inline* I wanna watch Paw Patrol

*T3 sent a glare Tak's way as he finished typing something on his phone. He didn't care about the baby being cute right now, too sore over what was going on*

*JuJu opened the door and stepped out into the hall. She had an idea about why Tak wanted to talk to her. The detective no doubt ratted her out. Out in the hall there was no one really around. but there was a small sitting area close to Binx's room that was deserted. Walking over to it she stopped and turned back to Tak.* Alright, let's hear it.

*Not sure of what to do, Zane just sat there and waited for T3 to finish what he was doing. He watched Stella and Clara with a smile as the little girl wanted up.*

*Tak followed his mate slowly, snapping up the sandwich by the time they reached the sitting area. He hadn't eaten much since the night before and hadn't realized he was hungry. He could have probably torn through four more. When she turned toward him he was wiping the last of the mayo from his lip. He straightened up, shifting his head some to look at her* You know what this is about. *The comment was less of a question and more a statement of fact* You can't go to that house again, not until this whole thing has been taken care of *The wolf looked over her with amber eyes, voice changing to his 'pack leader' voice*

*T3 finally sighed and put his phone down, still mad but finished with whatever he was doing. He huffed and shook his head, sending hair flying into Zane's face some* Sorry Babe *He leaned back to kiss his boyfriend before slowly getting to his feet to grab a bottle of water* Want one? *He glanced at Stella as she was being pulled into Inline's lap* Paw Patrol? No one likes Paw Patrol.

Let's see what we can find *Inline picked up the little girl and settled her on her lap before flipping on the TV. She turned it down low before sticking her tongue out at T3 and beginning her search for the kids channel*

*Stella wiggled and got comfortable on Inline's lap before making faces at T3* I do! You jus' stink!

*Tak could see JuJu's stance change as he called her out and she looked away from him before shoving her hands into her pockets and nodded as his tone changed.* I don't plan on it. I wont be able to hold my anger a second time. *Her voice was laced with the hate that she had felt last night while she stepped into the house, but she kept her emotions in check over all.* I'm guessing the good detective asked if you were at the house too?

*Zane smiled and returned his boyfriend's kiss, making sure not to get too into it.* Please. *He said to the offer. He chuckled at the little one's comment.*

*Tak felt his blood start to warm as she went on the offensive. He took in a deep breath* No, the nurse had already informed him I didn't leave last night. *He took another deep breath, trying to decide how much he was going to tell her and how much he was going to leave out* I then informed him you weren't the one who assaulted Bennett because there would be nothing left. *He paused for a moment to let that sink in* However since you were at the crime scene they have to officially clear you. What you did was stupid, reckless, and could have some very tall consequences.

What?! *JuJu looked at him her eyes sparked to life with a brilliant blue. That bit of information was news to JuJu and she felt her blood boil.* Damn straight, fucker would be fuckin barbq! *JuJu felt a coldness wash over her as he called her out on her stunt.* I...*She struggled with the words she wanted to say but couldn't form them. As an old defense kicked in, she clammed up.* I got it. I'll lay low then. *The blue faded from her eyes and a dull brown settled in, and the wolf could see her shutting down.*

Ash is what I told him and he knows it wasn't you. However, humans need more proof than a mystic's word. *When she started shutting down he pulled her close* I understand being angry, I understand why you went, I get it *He took in a deep breath of her scent* But we are walking an edge right now. If we don't come out clean they won't give us the kids. They'll prove it wasn't you but I need you to promise me you won't do anything that could jeopardize the investigation in anyway. *He put a hand on her chin, tilting her head up so he could look into her eyes* That means playing nice with the detective too.

*Keely was in a mood by the time she got to her mom's Deli. She had exchanged a few words, along with a good ass kicking with the idiot cops. Who were no longer on her uncle's payroll to boot. The shiner she was going to be sporting, was their one way ticket to Fuckedville from the altercation. Her left eye had already began to darken with a bruise, would have to be covered up before she saw T3 let alone Uncle Vinny. After dealing with Lorenzo and then the morons at the lockup, Keely was mentally and physically exhausted. This only got worse as she opened up the door to the Deli and there sitting on stool in front of her mother, shamelessly flirting with her, was the last person she wanted to see right now....Nate.*

*Nate was about to butcher another Italian phrase for beautiful just as Keely walked in. He looked over at the door, still grinning like an idiot until he saw who it was* Shit Little Italy. Nice eye *He slid off the stool and started toward her* Need some steak?

*She did not fight him as he pulled her close. This damn wolf made it hard for her to shut down. He was the only one that could pull her out of her walls. JuJu wrapped her arms around Tak and put her head on his chest. The fae just nodded as he went on and told her the gravity of the situation. JuJu lifted her head and gave Tak a sour look.* I have no idea what you are talking about. I always play nice.

*Keely rolled her eyes at him as he called out to her.* Oh don't let me interrupt your sweet nothings with Ma. *She moved pass him and towards the counter. As her mom started in she fired back in Italian and they began their normal fighting greeting.*

*Gisella, Keely's mom batted at Nate as he flirted. She loved this boy, truely. He was like one of her own and she enjoyed his visits. as Keely drew their attention. Looking up to see her daughter, she clicked her tongue as she caught sight of the black eye Keely had started. As she got snippy with Nate, Gisella said.* //Ehh, Your manners! You fighting like a crazy person and take it out on others! Knock it off!//

Juju *Tak warned but this warning was soft and teasing. He let go of her chin and ran a hand down her hair* It may surprise you but not all in the world find your lemonade attitude like I do *He gave her a small smile, rewrapping his arms around her* I love it but other seem to think you a touch on the tart side. *He gazed down at her* I need your word you will be nice to him. He is on our side after all.
