*Erik*

I look toward Bre when I feel her becoming conscious. Her eyes flutter open and I can't stop the smile on my face. I don't know what I'd do if something had happened to her. Exposing what I can do to anyone to save her is worth it. Since I was old enough to realize I was a big brother, I swore I'd protect her with my life if need be. I had great examples with my mom and Uncle Max. So to me, it's only natural for me to feel the same. Now as I glance at Christina, I know that she's included in that vow.

I send my comfort to Bre as she asks questions not wanting to interrupt her...um, realization that Tyler was still holding her tightly against him. Ok, that should piss me off...but it doesn't. I don't know if it's because I've known him all my life or if that is the way things are supposed to be, but I know Tyler will do everything in his power to protect my sister.

*Kyle*

I make it to the hallway, checking each room, calling out for anyone left behind but I find no one. The smoke is getting heavier, and the flames hotter that even my own healing trick to my lungs is starting to fail. I know I have to get out but I can't leave until I know all the rooms are empty.

I get to one that's locked. Using my powers, I quickly unlock it and find it empty. That was the last room, but as I turn to make my way back down the hall a portion of the ceiling gives way, the burning lumber and flames blocking my way.

"Shit!" I jump back just in time to keep from being burned. I look around and see I'm trapped. The door I'd just opened has no window, an empty storage room. I look around and find that I'm surrounded by walls. There is popping noises and looking up I see that the roof won't last much longer.

"Why didn't I get blasting powers like Michael?" I start coughing into the cloth I had tied around my face. Besides the smoke that's starting to mess with my lungs I'm feeling drained from giving Oliver a boost. I lean against the wall in the storage room and close my eyes. Concentrating, I focus on Max. As much as I hated him in high school and for pulling me into all this chaos, we found out years ago that I have a connection to him. Not one that we talk about but I know it's there. Blocking out the thoughts of my kids and wife I focus on Max, hoping he can somehow hear me...and get me out of here before it's too late.

"What... what's going on?" The girl in my arms asks me, her voice is raspy and I know I need to get her out quick. "Can we get out?"

"Yes, we can. Just close your eyes and try to relax. Straining will only make things worse." I tell her and look at Lia who nods, "Lia, you better make it out of here too, sis."

"I will, just go! Take the girl to safety!" I watched for a moment as my sister formed a stronger level of concentration and began pushing more of the flames back, putting out more of the fire. "I'll be out, I swear."

With a sigh, I took the girl with me towards the one direction the fire hadn't completely had the chance to consume with smoke. "Just hang on and relax." I told her again, holding her carefully as I rushed out of the building and into the fresh air. I glanced around for the same kids I'd check on earlier and saw several of the adults nearby as well.

Carrying the girl in my arms, I looked at one woman, a small brunette who seemed to have the calmest expression and questioned, "Can you look after this girl? I need to make certain others get out." The woman he spoke to had a strange sense about her but he didn't have time to question it. He was about to help his sister because he knew she couldn't hold up much longer.

~Sabrina~


I'm settling into letting Tyler's arms comfort me, feeling the emotions from my brother when something else overpowers me. A fear, strong and bitter in my mind. I don't know who it belongs to, but it's strong and overpowering every other feeling I'm getting from others. It's not a panic style fear, but one that overwhelms me. Closing my eyes, I try to determine who it's from.

Without explaining my reasons, I look at Tyler, "Help me stand, please. Somethings wrong. Very wrong." I look at my Uncle, "Uncle Max... there's... I don't know how to explain what I'm feeling..."

Emotional signatures aren't easy to match when I don't know a person but this one, it's familiar, and I can't help but try to remember who's essence it matches. My eyes widen as it hits me. "Uncle Max, it's the Sheriff."

"What?!" I hear Mrs. Valenti cry out in concern, not realizing I'd spoken loud enough for her to hear.

"He's afraid... lots of fear..." I am shaking as I speak and I can't stop myself from shaking. I'd never felt that strong of an emotion. Not unless it was something that was shared with many, like the panic that I felt from many of the kids that were still watching the building burn.

ooc: figured I'd aid the matter a bit, especially when it is something that Sabrina can do lol.

ooc: The brunette is Liz right? Just checking.

<center> Laura </center>
My hero turned his attention back to me and said, "Yes, we can. Just close your eyes and try to relax. Straining will only make things worse." I nodded and relaxed my head, closing my eyes as instructed. He said something else, but it wasn't directed at me, so I kept my eyes closed. I breathed through his shirt again, trying to take clean air into my lungs.

"I will, just go! Take the girl to safety! I'll be out, I swear." The unknown woman said, and I felt a stab of fear at the worry in her voice. Something told me we didn't have much time. A second later we were moving again, and I tensed, wondering where we were going.

"Just hang on and relax." I nodded again, trusting him to get us out of there. After a few minutes I noticed a drastic change in the air, and I opened my eyes to find us outside of the building. The guy carrying me kept walking, and then he said, "Can you look after this girl? I need to make certain others get out."

I looked down to the person he was talking to and instantly recognize her. "Aunt Liz," I said hoarsely.

"Laura!" She replied, holding her arms out and taking me from the stranger. "Oh, God, you guys have had us so worried! Were you in there all this time?" She said, sounding horrified.

"Yes, he... he saved me," I said, looking back up at him. "Thank you." I said sincerely. "You saved my life."

[Fehr'sBear]

i'll try to get a michael, christina, and tyler post up by tomorrow morning.

[magikhands]

*Max*

I ushered Liz and the others over to the small group forming while Michael and Maria followed close behind. Sebrina was coming around which was good. Tyler was helping her stand but she was frantically looking around.

"Uncle Max... there's... I don't know how to explain what I'm feeling..."

"What?!" Eileen asks Sabrina.

"He's afraid... lots of fear..." Sabrina's eyes lock on the burning building. It's not much longer before it tumbles to ashes.

That's when I feel something tingling in the back of my mind. I look to Liz, usually the only one that makes that happen, but she's just looking back at me with her doe like eyes. It's not her...

I close my eyes and concentrate. As I focus, I realize it's something I hadn't felt in years...a connection I thought had gone away long ago.

My eyes snap open and turn toward Michael. "It's Kyle...he's in trouble. He's trapped in the back."

ooc: no problem Fehr's bear I'll wait

(ooc: hope this is ok)
~~~~~AMY~~~~~
I see James extend his arm and I look up slightly...what the hell is he doing? I feel twice as scared...as though Im scared for the both of us.
Theres a strange light, and suddenly the wall bursts apart, and the flames weaken. James quickly grabs me and carries me through the opening and away from the building. He sets me down.

"Are you alright, Amy?"

I sit up, coughing. "Yeah, Im fine...are you ok?" I ask worriedly. He seems to be breathing hard...well who wouldnt be after the smoke he must have inhaled. I reach out to him and my fingers brush his shirt.
Tyler, mucking around.
His father, laying down the law as usual.
A younger Lily on the school bus.
Lily at the Crashdown.
I jerk my hand away and look at him. "Ja...James?"

~~~~~ALEX~~~~~
I can barely feel my fingers on the phone as Kyle tells me about the kids. I quickly hang up and tell Isabel.
"I'll drive." she states.
Oh God...Erik and Sabrina...Please let them be ok.
Isabel goes for the car and I quickly follow her. As soon as I get in she starts the car and drives off.
I look at the speedometer worried, as I see her speeding...normally I would say something....but I know nothing will make her go slower right now. And I dont want her too.

We sit in silence. I glance over at her, and her face of sheer worry and determination says enough for her.

"What are we going to do..? What if they are hurt.?"

I rest a hand on her shoulder. "They wont be hurt Isabel. Its going to be ok. There all going to be fine" I say.

But I leave her other question unanswered, because I dont have a clue what we're going to do.

As soon as we see the building Isabel pulls the car over and I immediately jump out.

I see a group of them together...Max, Liz, Michael, Maria...and...
When I run nearer I see Sabrina. Shes looking everywhere frantically and being held up by Tyler.

I run as fast as I can towards them and I put my arm around her waist and help support her.

"Sabrina are you alright?" I ask worriedly. "Wheres Erik?"

[Fehr'sBear]

Michael

"Oh God, Michael... what if something's happened to our babies? I can't... I don't want to lose them..." Maria says, and I look over at her, taking one of her hands in mine and squeezing it.

"They're both gonna be alright, don't worry," I tell her, though the fear in her words equals what's racing around in my head. What if they aren't okay? No. They have to be. They're perfectly fine.

We finally arrive at the scene, and there is fire everywhere, people milling about coughing. What on earth could have started this? I mean, sure, the place was dilapidated when we went there, but it never seemed too dangerous.

Getting out of the car quickly, I race over to where Christina, Erik, Tyler, Sabrina, Max, Eileen and Liz are all standing. "Oh, thank god." I mumble, noticing that Tyler and Christina look perfectly fine. Christina comes racing over to hug me, and Tyler, otherwise incapable of doing the same, because he's holding Sabrina in his arms, just smiles at me gratefully.

Max turns to me a moment later, while Maria makes her way over to the children, worry still on his face. "It's Kyle...he's in trouble. He's trapped in the back."

Kyle? Figures he'd be the one to try to save people. I mean, that's his job. "You need me to get him out?" I ask, knowing he probably needs blasting help, or else Kyle would be out by now. "Show me where."

[magikhands]

*Erik*

"Sabrina are you alright? Wheres Erik?" Dad asks and I know he's concerned.

"Right here." I say putting my hand on his shoulder nad giving it a squeeze. "We are fine." I don't usually show a lot of affection to my dad but under the circumstances I thought it was appropriate. I know when his arms are free, he'll be getting a big hug from me.

It's amazing when you find yourself in a crisis where you don't know if you'll see your loved ones again, that you suddenly don't care what other people think when you show affection. And I think that change is going to stick for a while.
