     ....Be sober-minded: be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour....

Night has fallen upon New York City and Tandy is once more in Mutant Town, prowling thorugh the streets of those who seek to steal young mutants off the streets. Now that the Chickenhawk gang has been driven underground after Cloak and Dagger targeted their hangout spot and forced information out of them, they only had one last string to snip before they headed up the ladder.

Mutant trafficking has become popular on the black market. Young mutant organs to harvest pay a pretty penny to those who want to experiment and play God with their DNA. Unfortunately for those who meddle, they now have an angel of light, and a demon of the dark hot on their trails.

As she pushes through the doors of Club Evolution, Tandy is dressed in a pair of casual jeans, a baggy sweater and new sneakers. She looks like she fits in to the club scene easy enough. Girl next door. All American. Beautiful blonde and blue eyes. No one knows what type of anger and rage ripples beneath the surface. She captivates as she makes her way to the bar, turning heads and eyes alike, wondering who this new face is in a mutant friendly club.

"Water, please." She says to whoever is manning the bar.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is coming out of the backrom of the club. He has been doing his paper work. He heads towards the bar himself, as the bartender sees him, he will be making Sam's drink as he gets to the bar it is anded to him.

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah spent his time in mutant town. Word has reached of the mutant faith healer who preaches about the good in people. He spent most of the day helping others and his parents were gathering outside of the club with Josiah going in. He looks about and when he see's sam he begins to walk over to the older man. "Seems I am not the only one with business in mutant town." He says with a smile, cajun accent clear on his voice.

Dagger has posed:
Once her water arrives, Tandy takes it and gives the ice a swirl to clink against the glass. She takse a small sip, feeling the condensation glisten beneath her fingertips. Turning around in her stool, she glances out into the crowd of dancers, listening to the music rumbling through the speakers. She blows some blonde hair away from her face. Though she appears to be just gazing out, her eyes are critically picking out everyone that comes and goes. She is looking for something specific. Someone specific.

The sight of Sam coming down along the bar takes her attention away from her current mission. She recognizes him. The man from the church with the rocket boosting powers. He helped her protect those kids. Kids that went home to their families, instead of being torn apart for twisted science.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has a seat and looks out over the bar. He might not recognize Tandy for sure, but she does look familar. He sees Josiah and nods in greeting "Hey man, how ya doing?" He asks in greeting.

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah nods to Samuel. "I am doing fine. Just resting from healing and sermonizing. We lost our support from the catholic church but gained support for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints." He says as he shrugs. "To be honest we teach the word of god, you would think churches would bond over that." He says with a shrug.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "There is a few of the local churches that might be ok with helping "Some might have an issue with your healing being mutant powered compared to just faith inspired, not really sure to be honest.

Dagger has posed:
Taking another sip of her water, Tandy watches the pair out of the corner of her eye for a moment, then goes back to studying the room casually. At times, a confident young man heads over to her to try and gain her attention, but she shoos them off with a chilled expression and a curt decline. No, she doesn't want a drink or to dance. Thank you.

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah nods as he looks about the area. He takes a breath and he watches Sam. "So I been trying to research my powers. I have found nothing about any healing light which disrupts lifeforces when used offensively." He says calmly.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and nods a bit to this and says "Well seen a few with light powers but healing, only ever really thought about maybe some how reversing it to be offensive, and then could be issues there on control and such.

Dagger has posed:
Tilting her head over in their direction, Tandy catches wind of Josiah's words. She tunes into their conversation subtly as she takes another sip of her water, now nearly drained. Her fingers tap heavily on the table to the beat of the song, slowly bobbing her head.

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    "I have used my powers offensively once. Some drunks were threatening to beat the crap out of our parishioners and I formed a club and fought back." He says as he looks to the man. He holds out a hand and a blast of white light forms in his hand, making his hand glow and forming into a solid object, looking like a billy club made of light energy. "I havent been able to test it to the fullest effect." He says as he watches sam.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and nods a bit to this and says "Well we mihgt be able to set something up." He holds a hand out "Can ya touch my hand with it?"

Dagger has posed:
"Refill." Tandy says to the bartender as she nudges her glass of water over. When she receives it, she takes another long swig, then pushes herself up to her full height. Her eyes settle on the young kid's hand that glows, feeling her fingertips give a bit of a wiggle.

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    "I dont want to hurt you, Sam." He says as he watches the man. "it stunned the drunks enough to keep them from coming after me. Plus the fact we never went back to that town may have helped also." He says as he swings the club and he moves to gently tap the man. Once it connects, it disrupts his own lifeforce. Despite feeling like it drained him, it wasnt a strong enough drain to kill, just stun.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will tense and jerks a moment, but the touch was brief, and Sam was prepared "Yea....' He does rub his hand a bit "Thats a tingler.'

Dagger has posed:
As she watches, Tandy brushes off another guy that approaches her. No. Shoo. Go away. By now she has casually made her way down closer to the pair, another stool or two. She leans over to order some chips from the tender, using that as an excuse to get closer. She watches the powers in act for a moment, then says in a cool tone of voice, "Cool trick you got there."

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah nods to Sam and he turns to Tandy. He then smiles. "Not my best trick. I also can heal others with a touch." He says. All of a sudden a trumpet rings and he pulls his phone out. "Mom and dad want me to spend some time with them. I will make it back to the school when I can." He says as he looks to Tandy and smiles at her. "If you want to see more, you can come to the church I preach at." He says calmly.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches the young man go, and looks over a brow raises a bit and says "Well, I do believer we have met but not gotten names. "I'm Sam." He offers

Dagger has posed:
As she watches the kid head off, Tandy glances back to Sam. "I'm Dagger." She says as her eyes glance over to the club again, then pushes off to her full height. "I have someone to meet." She says as she makes her way from the bar to the dance crowd. It appears she may have found her prey.
