Plans

"Okay, we need to get a game plan," Ashton said.

"Dude, we talked about this, we are just gonna work together instead of that elaborate plan you conceived." Keiren said.

"No, I mean, we are going to work together, but how? We need some type of plan, like a strategy." she stated. "Like, are we going to go as a huddle, or have base near them, or we go in waves..." her voice trailed off as she thought of the possibilities.

"No, I think we have a few attacking, a few defending, and we'll see who we have left." Nash said.

"How do we decide who attacks and who defends?" Ashton asked.

"Well, we have people like Jennette, who wouldn't be very good defense because her primary power is fire. She would be attack. It just depends on the powers." Brynne said.

"Okay, can we plan this now then?" Ashton said. Brynne agreed.

"Reese, defense or attack?" Brynne asked.

"He can do both, considering the fact that he can do anything," Ashton said.

"Only for a limited time, keep in mind. I say he is on defense half, attack half," Brynne suggested. Ashton nodded.

"Keiren?"

"Attack, as far as I know, he only has the mind power. Not much on defense." Ashton pointed out. Brynne nodded.

"Kaiser?"

"Hmmmm, attack. He's swift, and can throw things."

"Nash,"

"Defense. We are lacking on that."

"You." Brynne said.

"I wanna defend."

"Me,"

"You only have animal manipulation, correct?" Ashton asked. Brynne nodded.

"Can you yell? Loudly?" Ashton asked, working up a plan in her head. Brynne nodded.

"Stay in the middle. I don't think there will be many animals around. Maybe on Nash's shoulders? You can stay on guard, announce if we have someone coming from behind , or a force we can't see because we're distracted. Can you do that?" Ashton asked.

"Totally, as long as Nash doesn't drop me."

"I got you," he said walking by, eating a donut.

"Okay, we have a plan. Feel better?" Brynne said, smiling.

"Yes," Ashton said. "I'm going to go ask to use the computer in the lobby, I'll be back later." she left the room.

"By "ask to use," she means threaten and take." Jennette said, giggling.

About half an hour later, Ashton came back, smiling.

"I know where their HQ is." She said with a grin on her face. "I found it-"

"When are we going to kill him? " Jennette interrupted.

"When we invade their base. Now, we need to-"

"I can't wait! Lets go now!" Jennette yelled. Ashton looked accusingly at the rest of the group.

"Who the hell gave Jennette sugar?" she shouted. The twins raised their hands eagerly.

"We did!" Keiren said.

"That's bad! No sugar for Jennette, that's so bad!" Ashton said. Jennette laughed.

"Okay, guys. We need to get serious. Do you realize that the U.A.S are out to kill now? We could die," Ashton said. Everybody became quiet. "Great, now I have your attention. The headquarters are located in Southern Canada, somewhere deep in a forest. Surprise! We're going to Canada!" Ashton said with a sense of sarcasm in her voice.

"It's cold there. I don't like cold," Brynne said.

"That's why we buy warmer clothes." Nash said.

"With what money, exactly?" Reese said.

"Oh, right...." Ashton thought.

"We can steal," Keiren suggested. Everybody looked at him, even Kaiser. "What? We've already broken the law on multiple accounts, stealing AND driving a car, public disturbance, the list can go on."

"This is going to sound bad, but I agree with him." Nash said. Keiren nodded.

"It pales in comparison to the other crimes we did." he said. The rest of the group was beginning to see his reasoning.

"So? Are we going now?" Brynne said.

"Let's pack up our things and go," Jennette said eagerly. Ashton threw her hands up.

"Now wait, we can't just.... How are we going to get there??" she asked.

"Steal a car," Reese said, motioning towards Kaiser. He smiled.

"Now wait, even though we've committed lots of crimes, that's no reason to just forget every law out there. We can just hire a cab." Ashton said.

"To Canada?" Brynne said.

Ashton sat quietly. "There is just no way to do this. "

"Hotwire," Jennette said. Ashton rolled her eyes.

"We can't just steal cars!!" she said, becoming frustrated.

"Do you think the law will care? I mean, we need to get to Canada, and I don't see another way around this." Nash said.

After the group was quiet for several moments, the group packed up their belongings and went outside, observing the cars. They settled on a silver minivan. Jennette, with her small hands, slipped in through the crack in the window, and rolled it the rest of the way down. She slipped in the window, and unlocked the car. Kaiser then got in beneath the steering wheel and busted the plastic open, playing with the wires. The car started slowly.

"He got it!" Keiren said. Everybody else got into the car, and they drove off, towards Canada.

******
The teens stole some warm clothing and food while they were at it, and have now been driving to Canada for several days. Nash has been driving majority of the time, he was the tallest and filled the seat the best, he looked more adult if any cops were to come around.

After a few days of driving, they reached the border of Canada. Nash looked at the group.

"What do we do? We can't just drive through. What-"

"Stop panicking, we'll get through." Reese said. Nash drove slowly behind the other cars, following in line with the others. He was stopped once he reached the toll booth.

"Business or pleasure?" a guy with a heavy canadian accent asked. Nash smiled.

"Pleasure, we're... visiting family." he smiled. The man looked at him.

"That's great! Who's family do you belong to?" he asked nicely. The group looked at each other.

"The Finne's!" Jennette said, smiling. The guy nodded.

"Nice family, them. Anyway, please pay 20 dollars and you can be on your way!" he smiled. Nash turned around, and the group gave him all the money they could. He handed him crumpled ones and fives.

"Bye!" Nash said, driving off fast. The toll booth guy waved.

"Okay, it's time to fight. You ready guys?" Brynne said, pumping the group up. Everybody agreed.
