Leo
Rory pulled the gloves from his pocket. Gave a nervous laugh. “Yeah, I have them. What do you want me to do? climb down the wall with them?”
“Yup.” Leo smiled and shrugged. “Unless you have a better idea. I’m not leaving you here, kid.”
Rory’s green eyes widened. The kid glanced towards the window and shuddered. No wonder there. If only they had a rope or safety cord.
But more radio static caught in his ears. No time left. Leo carefully slung Quincy’s backpack over his shoulders and headed for the window.
In two seconds he was hanging from the sill. Another painstaking seven seconds and he was on the ground. He deposited Quincy a few bushed down out of the fall zone and unzipped the backpack.
The kid grinned up at him and giggled.
“Stay here, monkey. Gotcha? I’ll be right back.” He jogged back to the fall zone. Looked up. “Come on sis, I’m ready. Jump.”
She looked down at him, glanced back into the room. Leo swallowed and grit his teeth. If someone came in there while he was down here… “Jump, Silvia. Now.”
She jumped. He caught her, dropping to one knee as his suit absorbed the full impact of her fall. Two down. One to go.
Rory appeared at the window. His face looked a bit pale. Leo smiled up at him.
“Come on down, kid. You got this.” and I’m here to break the fall even if you don’t.
The boy slipped out of the window.

Fork the GorkI was thinking, and I’ve decided to leave Leo and Team in the RP. This semester is almost over so I’ll have the time again. I really like these charies dynamics right now.

Fork the GorkOh. My. Goodness.
I had an RP in reply.
I posted it!!!
WHERE DID IT GO?!?!?!

Ugh.
Back to the drawing board.
Rory
(good grief, *takes me two tries to spell my character’s name right!* It was a crazy night.)
Rory balanced on the windowsill and looked down at Leo.
It was a far drop.
He chewed on his lower lip. Well, at least if I fall and die it will be quick.
Maybe.
Rory let out a slow breath and carefully lowered himself over the edge, his hands gripping the sill. His gloves felt as though they were sticking… this might actually work!
Rory took a deep breath and placed his hand against the wall. The glove suctioned to it. Rory closed his eyes, held his breath, and let go with the other hand.
He slapped his hand against the wall, clawing desperately for a hold, and it stuck.
Rory jammed his boots against the wall and slowly began to back down it. Carefully, carefully, he made his way down.
It seemed like an eternity before Rory made it to the ground. He slumped against the wall and slid into a sitting position, his hands shaking.

Leo
Twenty-eight. Twenty-five. Twenty. Leo felt his teeth grit as the boy slowly climbed down the building. Eighteen. Fifteen. Twelve. He edged back from the fall zone.
Rory reached the ground and stood on shaking legs before sliding down the wall. Poor kid. Leo knelt to squeeze his shoulder.
“Good job. Now, take a minute to catch your breath.” He helped him unstrap the gloves, then gave Rory’s shoulder another light squeeze and moved away.
Quincy was flopped on his back wriggling under a bush. Leo extracted him, taking a moment to brush him off before slinging him over his shoulder. The five year old giggled.
“How’s things looking, Sis?”
Silvia glanced up from her tablet. “They’re close.”
He nodded and set down Quincy, walking offer Rory a hand up. “Ready to go?”

Best mental picture ever! XD
Rory
Rory looked up at Leo. “Go where? where can we go?” Panic was rising in his chest, but he swallowed it down. He took Leo’s hand and let the young man pull him to his feet. Rory glanced over at Silvia and then at the boy on Leo’s back. He was dragging them into this with him. Maybe I should tell Leo I’ll go alone. He needs to get away from me so they’re safe. Rory shook his head slightly. No, Leon won’t listen. I tried that before. And truth be told, Rory was scared to death and didn’t think he could face this alone.
Rory looked up at Leo expectantly. A strange feeling came over him, and Rory realized with some surprise that it was trust. He hadn’t trusted anyone since…. well… for a very long time.

Awwww…
Leo
He smiled, his throat going tight as he watched the kid. He shifted Quincy to put an arm around Rory’s shoulders. “We go home, if you’re good with that. I’ll explain on the way.”
Rory didn’t outright object, so Leo took that as the agreement he needed. Silvia had taken to scanning windows. Her fingers were wrapped around a thin glass tube. Time was running out.
He set out down a side street at a pace somewhere between a walk and a jog, fast enough to cover ground without attracting notice. Forty feet of ducking behind dumpsters and dingy trucks and they were slipping off campus. Leo grinned at Silvia. If it weren’t for the possible threat of capture, this would almost be fun. Almost.
Winding neighborhood roads opened before them. Suburbs, distant enough to be inconspicuous, but close enough that a band of kids would go unnoticed. His heart rate evened out.
“How’re you holding up?”

“How’re you holding up”
Rory glanced over at Leo. “I’m okay.”
Leo nodded and continued on.
Rory glanced back at the school. He felt a crawling sensation along his spine. As if… as if someone was watching them.
Rory evened his pace so it would match Leo’s steps. He came alongside the older boy. “I think someone’s following us. They’ve matched our steps so I can’t really tell, but if we all switch together, we might hear him.”Man is born for the fight, to be forged and molded into a sharper, finer, stronger image of God
