Valentine stopped at the sudden movement, and slowed to a walk, watching them. He was just checking to see if they were both okay, and if he could tease Brandon. He liked to tease the kid, mostly because he reminded him of a friend of his who was also a Pyro.
"Great. Life's a party," she muttered sarcastically. Her thoughts were, Life's a party and I'm in the throw up. "And how are you?" she asked, looking up with tired eyes.

There was a little argueing between the two of them and then Brandon angrily limped over to a bench to take a seat, Dez following closely behind. After a few moments there was another laugh from the woman and an angry grunt from the teen. "I think you broke it."
Electra shrugged slightly and nodded her head. "I'm beat, literally." She replied and roled up her sleeve, showing a whole bunch of bruises from recent gang related activity.

He paused his music. "Should I go get someone?" he asked, getting off the treadmill and walking over, eyes on the leg. Ouch. I did that to Karin once... he thought.
"Ouch, kid. You should get out of those- Aw, hell. I won't give you that bullshit too..." she muttered, knowing full well that she did stupid stuff too. Like not eating, getting drunk almost every night, smoking, the occassional one-night stand, ect.

"No, I can fix it." Brandon said with a snap and put his hands on his leg, he was a skeleton, he had the ability to repair shatters and breaks in his bones. Dez sighed and looked at Valentine, she gave a shrug, "He deserved it anyways, not listening to me."
Electra let out a laugh and threw her cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out harshly. "Don't worry about it. Getting hurt in a gang isn't the worst that could happen." She said and let out a soft yawn.

He nodded at what Brandon said, smelling the ability in him already, and looked at Dez. "Doesn't he do this often?" he asked, poking at Brandon a bit while he spoke to Dez.
"True," she agreed and coughed. "Ugh...I think I"m getting sick. Fuck, Lauren better not figure that out..." she muttered, tossing her cigarette down too.
Laela muttered incoherently to herself as she left her new home. They'd found her a year ago, and had put her into foster care. Now she had to go to school and be 'normal.' She sighed and headed down to the landlord's office. She had to report a leak in their room.

She gave a nod of her head and laughed a little more. "All of the time." Dez replied, making Brandon look really annoyed with the both of them. "You two are jerks." He muttered and stood up, stretching his leg and her it creak and crack a bit.
"You better take some medicine for that." Electra suggested and saw some familiar silver hair, very familiar silver hair. "Hey." Clavier greeted coldly and walked past them to go into the building, he'd talk to Electra up in her apartment room.
Ezekiel was speaking with the landlord about his mailbox key, wondering when he'd get it. When Laela walked in he looked at her and looked over her body for all valubles, then away once again to the landlord.

"Wow, you'd think he'd learn to listen to you if you tell him useful things all the time," he said, smirking playfully at Brandon. "Or maybe he needs to fix his ears?"
"Hey, Clavier." she greeted, uncaring towards the coldness. She liked that attitude- Don't bug me. STephenii stood. "I"m going to go downstairs and excersize. Apparently that's stress relieving."
Laela ignored him and approached the assistant of his. "There's a leak coming from the room above us. It leaks into our kitchen." she reported quietly.

"Hey! I don't have to listen to anyone that I don't want to, got it? Punk?" Brandon snapped out and crossed his arms over his chest. Dez sighed and shook her head at the both of them, "Brandon, maybe you should lay off the excerciing for awhile." She suggested, she was given a dirty look but Brandon did as he was told and left. when he was gone, Dez gave Valentine a shake of her head, "You shouldn't tease him so much, he might burn down the building if he gets mad enough."
"Oh. Have fun." Electra replied and went inside to go have a talk with Clavier.
The landlord heard this and looked over at Laela. "How bigs the leak?" He asked and walked past Ezekiel, finished speaking with him now. Ezekiel rose an eyebrow and turned to watch the conversation, he saw a gold watch in the back of the landlords pocket and his eyes narrowed a little bit.

Valentine nodded. "I know, I know...I'll lay off of him." he said and smiled at her, then put his headphones back in and returned to his work out.
Stephenii saw Brandon walked out. "Hey, is it crowded?" she asked the kid.
Laela began describing it was big enough that they needed a bucket under it at all times. She watched Ezekiel's eyes and mentally arched an eyebrow. What is he looking at? she wondered.

Dez watched him and sighed, looking around the room, she hummed to herself and walked over to one of the many machines to start working out.
"No." Brandon replied to her blankly, not even bothering to give her a look, he hated everyone in that stupid apartment building, he couldn't stand it there.
Ezekiel didn't see Laela looking at him so he just kept on watching, until finally he looked up and walked past the landlord, grabbing the watch unnoticably and sliding it into his own pocket. "I'll come and check that out in a bit, we may need to take out the pipes in that part of the ceiling." The landlord told Laela and then turned his attention to the walking away Ezekiel, "I'll bring you your key tomorrow." The raccoonish man nodded boredly and left the room, a smirk on his lips.

Stephenii went inside and took a treadmill as well, one by Dez.
Laela arched an eyebrow at the new guy as she followed him out, since he'd finished with them at the same time. "Okay," she responded as she walked away, following the new guy with not much interest, other than what he had been looking at.

Dez smiled at Stephenii slightly, noticing that she looked tired though, she sighed to herself softly and closed ehr eyes, keeping up her workout. "You look tired." She stated casually.
Ezekiel looked over his shoulder to see the girl from in the office, he looked away again though after seeing nothing he could steal from her that wouldn't be difficult. He stopped at the elevator and pushed the up button, the doors immediately opened up and he stepped in.

"Hm...I am." she mumbled and started out in a walk on the treadmill. "How are you?"
She stepped in as well, since she was returning to her room. "What was so interesting that you kept staring at the landlord's lower half?" she asked him casually as she pushed her button.

"I'm feeling as bored as usual... Maybe even a little boreder. Maybe it's because I haven't been able to have a good boxing match with anyone for a long while." Dez said and opened her eyes again.
His blue eyes dilated and he looked over at the girl, his smirk still there. "Does it matter, sweet heart?" Ezekiel asked and pushed his button too, the doors closed and the elevator started moving up.

"Ah. You could come with me to work sometime and just box verbally with my pain-in-the-ass boss." she commented. "Or you could punch her. I'd be happy about that!"
"No, but I'm bored and you're new. I'm getting to know you." she said, but it was clearly sarcastic. She looked up at him, her big blue eyes calmed yet suspicious.
