Recourse

He raised it under his nose and Pooch resisted the disc hesitant.

Then whimpered after taking it and his claws grew back in painfully and his fur reduced, his tail went back in and his body mass dropped. He quivered shutting his eyes on the floor like a humbled puppy.

"I know..." Nova rubbed his head.

At the broken house, the roof had collapsed leaving the longue room open to the night sky full of stars, he smiled at the blue tinge and looked down at the reflection on the water swimming backwards

"Does he talk to animals too?" Poseidonian asked Emma from the water while they were afar resting.

She looked back then to him "Not absolutely,"

"He's a good friend...you guys seem...advanced"

He said and his nose lowered into the water and a bubble floated up when he exhaled.

"Not really, we're just a few pesky kids looking for fun." She sounded sarcastic.

"Hmm..." He looked bored wondering who they really were, Nova was the closest he could get to and the freckled girl, perhaps.

He had his doubts about Astro, he thought his brother was just a fickle, maybe he was the one likely to change...or he probably just needed more friends. He thought keenly.

Zeke seemed to be on the crafty side and the one without the black eyes anymore, he forgot her name.

"I thought you had a cold" She said.

"Hey, can you get in the water for a sec?"

She raised her eyebrow "Why?"

"Just for a moment" He nodded

"I've heard seen that trick before" She said standing up and folding her arms feeling reluctant remembering fifth grade "And felt it"

"The water's good" He figured that would be the wrong thing to say when he was trying to get her to do something "Jump in"

"Sho thing" She stepped back further and his eyes rounded when she charged.

"Canonball!" She laughed flipping in and screamed at the wave driving her to the other side.

She turned back "Hey!"

Falling back in the water, he laughed then bounced up.

"One more time" He called, gesturing forward and drifting backwards.

"Hmm" She walked around the pool pretending not to care and then hopped in instantly and then felt the warm water, regretting her trial.

The whole pool bubbled with steam and she relaxed.

"Oh, I just thought you cut one loose" She flipped her hand and he raged causing a sphere of water to bounce over to her.

"Okay, okay, put it down"

It declined and they steadied.

Her stomach was in knots when a thought popped up.

"Thank you_for helping me"

"You don't need to thank me_"

"Sure" She said cheerily.

"You're welcome_hey!" He looked at her in suspicion and they chuckled.

"That's why we're here?" Darcy asked looking around the old walls of the villa with cracks after the disruption from the fight. The old family abandoned this place and went to another, where there weren't invasions.

"You are in a state of regression but fear not, all is in safe hands" Nova explained.

"You're kidding, right?" She said drowsily and he smiled.

Astro glanced at Zeke preoccupied on his phone and grunted looking away.

"You're not having any fun with your earth-worms"

"Can't swim" He mumbled.

"Just give me the phone"

Zeke scrolled to find a map of the perimeters and a red tower with waves, he found an interesting panel that said [reference] and touched it, the phone beeped noisily and flashed red.

Astro sat up "What was that?"

"Nothing important"

"What have you done?" He screamed wildly.

"Relax man"

He pulled back his hand and manipulated the light on the phone to display the page.

"Ok" He sighed holding up his head and laid back tapping the spaces beside him.

"It's alright" He whispered to himself and looked at the stars and his vision enclosed falling back to sleep.

They opened again and he screamed at the man in front of him.

Sirius looked grim towering over him

with blond hair and white streaks, he had a taut face and was white skinned with brown eyes, a straight narrow nose, taut lips and sharp ears, in his black robe, tweeds and black loafers.

He crouched there in terrified silence.

"What are you doing, clad in a dump?" Sirius asked scanning the empty roof.

He huffed pushing up "Dad, I wanted to bring Nova home but he refused, I got sidetracked and I_I was..."

"Getting comfortable, weren't you?"

He was white as a ghost "No, sir_"

His eyes narrowed "I never contacted you" He feared that Zeke might have signalled him last night.

His lips curved into a mocking smile, and Astro looked wild, the hair on his nape stood and he quivered.

Nova dashed across the kitchen while Darcy was cooking and dodged the beams of light from Astro,

He snorted getting shoved into the another room, breaking into things. They shuffled on the ground and Astro punched him across the face.

"You think this is funny!?"

She raised her eyebrow at their voices thundering in the enclosed room and Emma stepped outside in with her hair up in a knot, wiping her eyes.

"I'm sorry!"

"You really think this is funny!?" He looked agitated. "Huh?...You and your little girlfriend!?"

He fought pushing a hand against his mouth.

"Stop!"

"Talk! Just talk and I'll screw your insides in a second, you hear me!?" He inhaled and exhaled roughly and hand went through his head when he looked up.

"It was merely a frivolity_"

"Shut up!" He screamed pushing his head down.

Nova phased into the ground.

He rolled off at the splash of water, gazing at Emma in dismay, she was in a white robe, holding a bucket.

He growled as the water on him slowly dried and steamed and water poured on him again. "Hey!"

Poseidonian stood up straight after that move.

"That's for calling me a fish"

Astro grabbed a towel and dried himself glaring at Nova when he emerged.

"You know when two siblings fight, its a can full of worms when but two with powers?" Zeke shook his head. "Are you trying to bring the house down? Can't we do stuff without something dropping on our heads!?"

"This isn't over!" He yelled with intense rage and dumped his towel raking his hair and he pushed past them walking away.
