BWI Portalocity Terminal [Saturday Morning]

Emma had flown with Angelica from Logan Airport in Boston to Baltimore so she wouldn't have to make the entire trip alone, and Angelica was grateful for that. But after a hug goodbye when the time came for Emma's flight back to Massachusetts, Angelica was alone in the lounge, waiting for the bus to Fandom High. She buried her face in a book and tried not to be too nervous about changing schools, counting out the positives. She might make new friends. Empath and Roulette wouldn't be there. She might accidentally fry someone with her microwave powers.

Oooookay, that last one wasn't too positive.

She shrugged again. "No big deal."

Okay, yeah, it was, but she'd had lots of practice in hiding how she felt.

"It sounds like a big deal to me," Alex said tentatively.

Mercy's shoulders slumped. "Okay. Maybe it is. But there's nothing I can do about it." Except be good. Be really really good. And not be a coyote.

"Family's a pain like that." He was a Greek god. He knew of what he spoke. "It sucks, I'm sorry."

If only he knew. "Thanks," she said with a half-smile. "At least I guess I had a choice, right?"

"Yeah, I guess. And who knows? It could be cool!" Alex said, brightening. "I mean, I have to take remedial pre-algebra but other than that."

"A, uh, friend of my mother's picked the courses," Mercy admitted, not really knowing how to describe Bran without mentioning the whole, you know, head of all the werewolves thing. "So I don't know yet what I'm taking."

"Oh, well, everything except that sounds like it should be really cool," Alex assured her. "From my schedule, anyway. Except my dad signed me up for something about war crimes. He was really excited about it, of course, but Iiiii'm not so sure."
walkswithcoyote: (Thoughtful)

"War crimes?" Now that did sound interesting. Mercy always had been a history buff.

"War crimes and something about cupcakes? Like I said, my dad signed me up for it. I asked him what cupcakes have to do with war crimes but he said it didn't matter." Alex shrugged. "And I'm taking, um, hang on." Alex unzipped one of the pockets of his backpack and dug around until he found a piece of paper. "'How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse' and--whoa."

Mercy raised an eyebrow. "You sure your dad isn't pulling your leg?"

"That's not really his style," Alex said doubtfully. "I mean, he could be, but he seemed really excited about the war crimes thing, and Nicholas said this school wasn't exactly, you know." He wondered how much Mercedes knew about it. 'For weird kids' might be too blunt. "He said it was sort of alternative?"

"Alternative. Great." Mercy sighed. "Well, I guess it is what it is."

"Yeah, but, 'How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse'? Awesome!" Alex argued. "Also, could be useful."

Mercy was familiar with a lot of preternatural things, but as far as she knew zombies didn't exist.

"Right."

You never knew, Mercy. You never knew. "I'm trying to look on the bright side. I'm hoping I'll get to use a shotgun; my firearms lessons were pretty brief."

"I'm a pretty good shot," Mercy offered. "And they said there was a gun range here."

"They told me I could bring Grasscutter," Alex said. "I wouldn't have come if I couldn't. Dad wouldn't have wanted me to come if I couldn't."

"Grasscutter?"

"My sword," Alex explained, gesturing to the padded katana sheath strapped to his duffel bag.

Mercy nodded. "Ah, okay. I brought my foster dad's .444 marlin and my own guns with me."

"I have a feeling weapons are going to wind up snuck into my stuff my dad's shipping to me, but I only really want Grasscutter, you know?" Alex asked.

"The weapons you're most comfortable are best," Mercy agreed.

It was so nice to meet someone who understood these things. "Exactly!"

Mercy smiled at him. "My foster dad even taught me to make my own bullets."
