"So they can do more that just blow things up,"Pete asked looking confused.
"When I said that they pick what they need for the moment I didn't mean just weapons, it also included various other things," Anna said pointing to a turn that they needed to take. "These two need to be taken away from people who wouldn't understand what kind of power that is," Anna said. Willow and Xavier looked confused not knowing what anyone was talking about. "Don't worry guys we'll go over it while on the train, it is a long trip and you're going to need something to do," Anna was smiling and looking through things that she needed. As Pete got to the parking garage, he found a place and then it was like he was a machine. He already had everything that needed to be done down almost to a science, now it was just the two teens in the back. "Ready guys? Or should we take a minute," Anna didn't want to miss the train, but she also didn't want to mess this up. So stressing everyone out was bad, but they nodded and began to get up. "Now Ryder, you take that side" Anna said, pointing away from her, "and I'll take this side just make sure that you stay close but you let them do their thing. If it seems like it is going in the wrong direction just redirect them a bit. That way they go in the direction we need them to, but let them do as much of it by themselves as they can," Anna said to Ryder. He paid close attention to her and was ready for his part in this whole thing, "now does the train know we are coming" she asked. Pete nodded, he looked like he was ready to run. "Now let's go everyone, and maybe we will get through the station,"Anna said hopefully.
~In the station~
"What's the matter, Willow?"Xavier asks, pulling her aside. She had started crying again and it made him worry. "You are not hurting somewhere are you?"
She shook her head as she tried to rub her eyes,"No I still hurt, but that's not it," Xavier gave her a quizzical look. She pointed at a wall that people were gathered around. it had posters of people who had gone missing over the years and on it there was a poster for both of them. "I do want to go back but not if it will hurt someone and if someone sees that and then sees us what will happen."
Xavier dried her tears with his hands and looked her in the eye, "hey now isn't the time to be scared. Well I guess it is but here as scary as that thought is think about the place we will be going."
"But we will have to practically disappear, how is that a good thing?"
"I don't know Will, but we will have to find out."
"We didn't teach them that, Ryder" Anna said. She had started to fumble in her bag for something til Ryder passed her something.
"They went invisible, what do ya' know. Oh, that stuff will make it so the spell they are doing won't affect you. That way you can still see them," Ryder said. He was still looking impressed at them.
Anna drank still looking somewhat mad, "I just don't like it when people go off of the plan. It has the potential of causing trouble," Anna looked around but didn't see anyone coming towards them.
Now it did seem weird to see the two of them walking hand in hand when no one could but Ryder and Anna did their best. It was the best way to get through the station and this wouldn't have too many backlashes. Not only that Xavier and Willow were liking it, it made them feel like nothing could part them. This would have gone on but halfway through the station an officer saw them or so they thought. The officer had pictures of Willow and Xavier and he was stopping people asking if anyone had seen the two of them in the station. Anna could feel their spell waver a bit
"Hey Anna not to be a pain or anything, but is this really better," Ryder asked leading Xavier pass some kind of souvenir stand.
"Yeah, I guess your right not that they wouldn't have gotten by the cameras without any trouble," Anna said still looking around for some kind of danger.
"Are you saying that they can't be seen...." Ryder asked, looking around.
"That's right, I have yet to meet one that could have a photo taken with a camera or something like it. They just don't show up, like vampires I guess. This way we are almost there," she said, pointing to a platform. Ryder was stunned, he had always been running away from the cameras when he had a pair of them, but now he learned that it was not required. It was something he would have to remember for the future.
"You two do you have tickets" someone asked behind them.
"Don't worry, I've got this one, besides, I think that they are the ones on my list," the man behind them said. He turned towards Ryder and Anna, "Let's get the four of you on the train" and as he led them to the back part of the station. Anna and Ryder just stood, but Willow and Xavier for some reason started to follow. "And before you ask, yes, I can see these two, they must be done with the spell or close to it which is why we need to hurry. Also, they seem a bit tired, are they going to need something before the train leaves, we are delayed for a bit so I can have something brought to you," he sounded worried.
"Delayed what could possibly delay us," Ryder asked, getting down to the car.
"Well, mortals think it is engine trouble, but we are actually waiting on some V.I.P.s. They should be along in a couple of hours," he said, but there was something to what he said. Like there was more to the story, but he just couldn't say it.
Now big problem, the spell was ending, and at the end of the spell, the two of them just stopped dead for a few seconds. Not only that they did this one while they were scared and tired so anything could happen when they got to the train.
Then just before the train they both just stopped and looked around like they were in a daze. With their minds a little foggy with all the magic they had used in the past 24 hours they freaked and began to glow. Both Ryder and Anna ducked, but for some reason there was nothing. While the flash wasn't as big this time the two of them did fall to the ground. Would they ever get past that he wondered as he picked up Xavier. Ryder was not one to be delayed and with these two he really didn't want to even think it. He saw the same in his counterpart, Anna as she carried Willow while they didn't have to go very far it would be best to keep them together. After they got these guys onto the train and settled, they would have to ask what was going on. The safety of Xavier and Willow could depend on what was delaying them.
