WHO: Ben Braeden, Phoebe Halliwell; brief appearance by Alastair-in-disguise and his human minions [OPEN to Toby Williams, Sarah and/or Nathan Petrelli, Dean Winchester and TBD] WHERE: the Hyperion WHEN: Tuesday, February 21, 2006; lunchtime [backdated] WHAT: A vision averts an abduction. RATING: TBD STATUS: thread; in-progress
There would always be danger in Los Angeles, though there was often more danger recently than the 'norm' due to all manner of villainous types trying to make their mark in the city. Personally, Ben thought it was stupid, but everyone in his family and some of his friends were all on edge, so rather than object all the time, he went along with all the protections in place. Besides, some of it wasn't so bad, as he could come to the Hyperion and be as safe as he was at home, which meant he could run around with the friends he'd been making and his dad wasn't so worried. Or, if he was, he did a pretty good job of hiding it, as Ben wasn't picking up the worry from his dad that he had the first few times he'd come to school.
Right now, he was outside waiting for Toby to come out so they could throw a baseball around before class resumed after lunch, standing in one part of the courtyard and bouncing the baseball again the brick arch near the gate so he could catch it on the rebound.
"Dude, come on," he muttered under his breath, tossing a look over his shoulder. Sucked to be the teacher's little brother, as far as Ben was concerned, as it meant Toby had to sometimes stay behind longer to help Sarah with stuff.
[ooc: I'm still pretty scarce at the moment, but if you have any questions, send me an email or comment to the OOC post where we discussed this and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! As far as the actual lure (if you need it for Phoebe's vision), Alastair will be using telekinesis when the boys' baseball accidentally rolls under the gate, to make it roll far out of their reach and Ben will have to slip outside the gate (and thus the barrier) and go after it, at which point Alastair-in-disguise and his human minions nab Ben (or were, as now Phoebe's stopping it. XD).]
