Astrid remained as silent as the grave on the ride through the sky, feeling rather tense as Loki held onto her; She didn't like being touched. Her grip remained tight as she ground her teeth until they finally came upon the abandoned building where she lead the pack into a small opening before quickly shutting off her Ghost motorcycle. She pushed up her Venetian mask as Basil appeared shortly before Lina, her brow lifting. She disregarded Basil's flirting and turned her attention to Orfelina as the small woman went tense with a vision.
The violet-haired genius was one of Astrid's best friends, but even Astrid had to admit that she was a bit batty sometimes. Though, Lina preferred “whimsical” or “effervescent” over other such words. Astrid listened to Lina's words in silent agreement, immediately noting Benjamin's slight increase of heartbeat and stuttering, a light smirk curling at the corners of her lips. She found it amusing how much they cared for each other but knew not of how the other felt. Her blue eyes followed until the gypsy disappeared and watched as the others themselves began to move about.
She, unfortunately, had to stick by Loki's side; Or rather, he by hers. She sighed as she followed suit of the others and began to explore, avoiding the boards that buckled under her weight. She was near four hundred pounds (though you'd not think it with her size) and the boards were old and weak. She tiptoed gracefully across them as she looked down the various hallways and began to imagine a greater picture. The building seemed to shimmer inside, a light passing over everything as it appeared that the inside transformed; Machines and computer screens were everywhere with desks and tables and boards and chairs. Costumed and uniformed people walked about with each other, their lips moving but no sound coming forth. This was her ultimate dream: To expand The Order. Make it national and maybe worldwide one day. Perhaps even stretch through the realms. Hell, it wasn't like she was short of time.
The shimmer faded away and the building was once more just a dimly lit, fungus and rust ridden, termite infested firetrap. But it would be more. Soon. She turned around and saw Loki looking around, her face becoming expressionless once more. It was strange having him around - He was a puzzle that she would forever deny enjoying to solve. She was more like the god than she cared to admit. At least not to others. She hoped in secret that The Order wouldn't help just him...but her as well. Despite her often bantering with him, she didn't hate him. She actually understood (or hoped she did) why he did the things that he had done and she empathized. Except the whole trying to kill his father bit.

Lina giggled her way down the hallways as she scaled the walls and swung from the rafters. She would certainly enjoy hanging out here. It reminded her of her childhood playing with the others...
“I'm coming for you!” Little Howler squealed as Àsbjorn tore through the woods as but a mere shadow. She could feel her heart racing as the excitement of not knowing who was going to come from where in their game of extreme paintball-capture the flag. She wished Benjamin had joined them, but she knew that he wasn't one for running about. Or getting shot at. Plus his adrenaline needed to remain stable. In her ruminating, she hadn't noticed the shadow creeping behind her. Her powers weren't fully developed, so she had yet to be able to sense impending attacks. For that reason she didn't foresee Azzy materializing and tackling her to the ground. They laughed together as they helped each other up and called it quits, opting to simply run through the forest and pretend to be superheroes. Like their parents.
In her reminiscing, Lina had forgot to watch where she was going and immediately felt a soft tingle that caused her to jerk her head up. It was too late, as she had already missed a step and stumbled right into Benjamin, landing in a tangled heap of limbs and boards. She gave a soft yelp before laughing as she attempted to disentangle herself so that she could remove the rusted nail from her arm. “Sorry! Let me jus-” She quickly retracted her limbs and rolled off of him only to have a nail lodged in her back. She gave another laugh, blushing at her unusual clumsiness. “I think I'll just...lay here.” She grinned, opting to lay there as she didn't even seem to notice the dulling pain. Like a cat, her attention was soon diverted elsewhere by pretty lights. “Oh! Look!” Her eyes lit up as Astrid's illusion covered many parts of the building, revealing what could be.
OOC: Anthony and Amanda will be up soon.
