"Jackie might not," Hale sighed, "but I will. This is too important to worry about not using it. I'll do what I can, even if I'm out of practice."

Mackenzie rolled her shoulders, finishing her coffee and setting the mug in the sink, leaning over the counter. She needed a second to collect herself. She had to be strong for this. She had to.

"Okay." Mackenzie stood straight. "Everyone get ready. Get your spells together, your weapons, whatever you're bringing with you. We have three days to prepare." She started towards the living room, stopping to look back at everyone. "James gets first watch. Since I know nobody's leaving me by myself until this is handled, I might as well get a vote in who's on Oracle Duty."

bxrn-thc-pxgcs​:

Mackenzie nodded at what Nick suggested, watching Alec and chewing her lip. Okay, yeah. Helpful. She looked up at James, pausing for a long moment.

Oh… boy… she’d forgotten he didn’t know.

The oracle cleared her throat, taking another drink of her coffee. “James, I can see the future.”

“I don’t know how we’ve gone this long without you figuring it out,” Hale snorted. “It’s a little obvious sometimes. Her eyes glow.”

“And I say what I see when I’m having a vision,” Mackenzie added. “It’s not the most subtle of abilities.”

“And it’s why he’s coming after her,” Nari said slowly. “It’s the same reason he went after her parents. She gets it from her mom.”

Mackenzie nodded. “That’s why the wedding invitation was…” She closed her eyes. “He kidnapped my father the night before my parents’ wedding. He made a ransom demand, said that if my mom used her visions to do whatever he wanted, he’d let my dad go.”

“And I’m a blind motherfucker, we know this,” James points out, raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms, shrugging. “I guess I’ve been distracted.”

Jackie rubs her face and shakes her head. Maybeck’s jaw is dropped, staring at James, shaking his head slowly. Kyla laughs quietly to herself and rolls her eyes. Xinyi smiles but straightens up when they get back to the matter at hand. Min shakes his head.

James flinches and mutters under his breath, something to do with Axthys, shaking his head. “We’re not letting him get away again. We’re getting him this time, Kenz. I swear it.”

“Agreed,” Sylvia rolls out her neck. “So… Mackenzie pretends to be alone, Mel and Sam cloak the rest of us, Alec stays nearby in bat form to swoop in if he has to before the rest of us can?”

“And me, I can also cloak. So could the Spudinskis, but they won’t,” Maybeck raises a hand.

“Nope,” Jackie holds up her hands. “I’ve got these!” She produces the brass knuckles she’d brought with her.

Kenna sighed, pouting. "But what if I'm screwing with him without him knowing I'm screwing with him? I can sit in the back of the class and just twirl my pencil and suddenly oops, all of his chalk disintegrates when he touches it."

Hale blinked, glancing to Jackie. Wow. This girl really was careless about magic, huh? It made things way too easy for some people. He shrugged, smiling at his sister. "Ooh, yeah, I'll do that. Sounds sick."

untxld-stxries​:

Hale leaned over to Mackenzie. “The Kenna that made a teacher’s pen explode?” Mackenzie nodded.

Kenna raised an eyebrow, but nodded, relaxing. “Kay. Guess you’re cool then.” She glanced at Jackie, smiling. “Hey, you coming to the slumber party this weekend? Audrey’s throwing it to celebrate me joining the squad.”

Hale perked up, grinning. “Sports?”

“Sports,” Mackenzie said.

“You say that like I’d miss it for anything,” Jackie giggles. “I’m so glad you’re joining us, but you do realize it means you can’t get on Delay’s bad side EVERY time you’re in his class now, right? He always intentionally schedules detentions when I have cheer practice, no joke.”

She glances at Hale and laughs. “Duh, it’s me, right? Don’t worry, I know you, you’ll find some team to be on before the week’s out. Make it easy on dad and sign up for Tourney so he never has to worry about scheduling conflicts,” she adds as a joke. Mostly.

[untxld-stxries]

Hale snorted, covering his mouth. "You good, Jacks?" He glanced over at Mackenzie, resting his arms on his knees.

Mackenzie took a deep breath. "So I, um... I made a couple friends. Nancy Jones and Grayson Fenton-"

Hale grinned. "Hey, I know him!!"

Mackenzie sighed. "And that makes this worse. Uh..." She cleared her throat. "I had a couple of visions. In front of them." She paused. "They know. Just about me, but... they know I'm not... you know."

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII fucked up," Mackenzie sighed, flopping into a chair in the corner. Nari and Hale looked over at Jackie in confusion.

Jackie sighs as she scoots back from her desk on her chair... which catches her rug and flips. She groans. “Ow. Okay. What’d you do now, or what’d the boy do now?”

She rolls herself over the rest of the way into a sitting position, rubbing her neck and her head a bit as she does, looking over to the other.

[untxld-stxries]

Rebekah squealed, laughing and running away.

Hale looked over at Jackie, crossing his arms, raising an eyebrow. "I dunno. Whose bright idea was it?" He smirked, laughing a bit. "At least I was late. Could've been me instead, if Grayson'd shown up."

untxld-stxries​:

“Is that what happened to you?” Rebekah teased lovingly as she jogged over. Hale choked a bit, laughing.

Eve nodded, gently getting her hands under Kai’s shoulders. “Ready? One, two, three.” Lifting carefully, she waited until the stretcher was under him before nodding for Nick to set him down. “Alright. Who wants to help me take today’s casualty to the infirmary? I don’t remember whose turn it’s supposed to be.”

Kenna jumped up. “I can do it.”

Eve raised an eyebrow. “You’re on the cheer squad, not the tourney team. This isn’t really your responsibility.”

“I still want to help,” Kenna said. Eve paused, even nodded, gesturing to the opposite end of the stretcher as she leaned down to pick up the other side. “One, two, three.” The girls lifted the stretcher rather easily, starting off towards the school.

“Mm, no, that absolutely should’ve been a lot worse.” Ziva looked after them. “One hundred percent. That girl’s a walking mass extinction event. It’s insane half the team isn’t dead.”

“All right, you know what?!” Nikki drops her pom poms and starts after Rebekah with a giggle.

Nick nods, lifting Kai when she does. Fitz is quick to get the stretcher under him and backs off, about to answer when Kenna jumps in, surprised, then shrugging. Whatever. Sure.

Kai blinks, hearing her jump in. Pretty girl. Okay. Yay.

Jackie sighs. “Remind me whose bright idea it was to tell my little brother to join the team.” She conveniently ignores the fact that it was, in fact, her bright idea.

Open Starter: Now or Never

"Take off, last stop. Countdown till we blast open the top. Face first, full charge. Electric hammer to the heart."

Hale bounced in place, imagining he was singing to a real audience instead of an empty music room.

"Clocks move forward, but we don't get older, no. Kept on climbing till our stars collided. And all the times we fell behind were just the keys to paradise!"

"Don't look down, 'cause we're still rising up right now! And even if we hit the ground, we'll still fly. Keep dreaming like we'll live forever, but live it like it's now or never!"

He laughed, flipping his hair out of his face, reaching back with one hand to quickly turn his amp up a bit louder.

"Hear the noise in my head. It's calling out like a voice I can't forget. One life, no regrets. Catch up, got no time to catch my breath!"

"Clocks move faster 'cause it's all we're after now. Won't stop climbing 'cause this is our time, yeah! When all the days felt black and white, those were the best shades of my life!"

"Don't look down, 'cause we're still rising up right now! And even if we hit the ground, we'll still fly. Keep dreaming like we'll live forever, but live it like it's now or never!"

Hale spun around, grinning when he noticed a person standing in the door. Oh, HELL yeah! He winked, bouncing between his feet as he started singing directly to them.

"We ain't searching for tomorrow. 'Cause we got all we need today. Living on a feeling that's been running through our veins.  We're the revolution that's been singing in the rain!"

"Don't look down, 'cause we're still rising up right now. And even if we hit the ground, we'll still fly. Keep dreaming like we'll live forever, but live it like it's now or never! It's now or never!"

He laughed, throwing his head back. "WHOO!" Breathing hard, he grabbed a small towel from a nearby chair, wiping his hands. "What'd you think, man? Enjoy the show?"

“Not as much as I’m gonna enjoy this, c’mere!!!” Jackie holds out her arms to hug him as she approaches. “Gah!!! I’ve missed you so much!!”

She ruffles his hair as she stays holding onto him, kissing her little brother’s head. “Dad refuses to tell me WHY you’re here, though. He just says it’s my fault. What’d you do?”

[bxrn-thc-pxgcs]

Mackenzie nodded at what Nick suggested, watching Alec and chewing her lip. Okay, yeah. Helpful. She looked up at James, pausing for a long moment.

Oh... boy... she'd forgotten he didn't know.

The oracle cleared her throat, taking another drink of her coffee. "James, I can see the future."

"I don't know how we've gone this long without you figuring it out," Hale snorted. "It's a little obvious sometimes. Her eyes glow."

"And I say what I see when I'm having a vision," Mackenzie added. "It's not the most subtle of abilities."

"And it's why he's coming after her," Nari said slowly. "It's the same reason he went after her parents. She gets it from her mom."

Mackenzie nodded. "That's why the wedding invitation was..." She closed her eyes. "He kidnapped my father the night before my parents' wedding. He made a ransom demand, said that if my mom used her visions to do whatever he wanted, he'd let my dad go."

bxrn-thc-pxgcs​:

Mackenzie chuckled softly, nodding. “Yeah. Yeah, I know. I’m dumb, but I’m not an idiot.” She took a deep breath. “And I have a plan. But nobody’s going to like it.”

“Any less than we already like what’s happening?” Hale joked half-heartedly. Mackenzie looked over at him in silence, and he blinked. “… oh. So that’s a yes.”

“We don’t know if he’s human.” Mackenzie looked between everyone. “Which means, we don’t know if he can smell us coming, or sense us coming. So we need magical cover from as many of us as we can to make sure that he can’t see, hear, smell, or otherwise sense any of you until we’re ready.”

Sam reached for his wand subconsciously, looking towards Melinda. “Okay.”

Nari bit her nails. She didn’t like it, but she knew Mackenzie was right. “I’ll help however I can.”

“I work at the precinct for the city,” Mackenzie said. “I might be an intern, and I’ve only been there a couple weeks, but I’ve been there long enough to have made some friends. I have some officers I can call to be ready to help with an arrest.” If he lives that long. Mackenzie gripped her cup a little tighter at the thought, but she couldn’t help thinking it. If he tried anything… she wouldn’t hesitate to take out the problem at the root if she had to.

“Easy enough,” Melinda agrees, twirling her pen still.

“Keep the bloodsucker on closer retainer if you insist on keeping the rest of us back,” Nick adds with a light growl, but nodding to Alec all the same. “If he doesn’t put in any effort, his death smell can blend into the background enough. Take it from me.”

“And besides,” Alec adds, shifting abruptly into a bat and squeaking, flying up and hiding on top of Mackenzie’s cabinets, peering over at them.

James notices her grip tighten, reaching up and setting a hand on her shoulder silently. Not sure what caused it, but going to reassure her all the same, glancing around. “Can’t help with scent, but if he can detect magic, it’s not me you have to worry about. Which I’m guessing is unlike everyone else here including you?”

Jackie pauses, lowering her head into her hands. “Dear god, I forgot he’s an idiot.”

[bxrn-thc-pxgcs]

Mackenzie took a deep breath. She reached for the doorknob, collecting her thoughts before pulling it open. She stepped over Saskia to walk towards the kitchen, past everyone who went silent as she entered the room, and started on her coffee routine.

Sam looked over at Sylvia, taking a slow sip of his own coffee. He stayed quiet, not wanting to provoke anyone.

Nari nodded to Jackie, adjusting herself in her perch on the window. Hale ran his finger along the edge of his cup, just watching, not sure who was going to speak first.

bxrn-thc-pxgcs​:

Mackenzie smiled weakly. She nodded slowly, squeezing his hand. “Thank you. I appreciate that.” She slowly pulled herself from the bed, stretching, running her hands through her hair and trying to shake out the tangles.

“I smell coffee,” she sighed. She looked back at James, nodding towards the door. “Might as well face the music before I decide I’m living in this room and only this room.”

James nods quickly, squeezing her hand back, sighing softly and getting up himself, stretching a bit.

When she nods to the door, he sighs and nods. “As soon as you’re ready, Kenz.”

[bxrn-thc-pxgcs]

Hale closed his eyes. "Okay. Okay, fine, fine, I'm in." He crossed his arms, looking up at Min and relaxing a little. At least there was that.

Nari sighed softly, leaning against Nick. "Sorry for yelling. I just needed everyone to be quiet. I hate the arguing."

"When she wakes up," Sam said, putting his hands in his pockets, "she'll need us. We need to be as calm and collected as we can, no matter what she decides." He paused. "Anyone up for coffee while we wait?"

"Or tequila?" Hale offered.

"God, yes," Nari sighed.

bxrn-thc-pxgcs​:

Sam sighed, closing his eyes, but nodded. She had a point. They all had a point. He ran a hand through his hair and held up his hands in surrender, backing up to lean against the wall.

Hale gritted his teeth. This was quite possibly the dumbest idea any of them had ever had. He shook his head. He was supposed to be the dumb one, but he couldn’t imagine letting himself let Mackenzie walk into a trap like that.

“Are we all in agreement?” Nari said, looking around. “We let her make her decision? If she chooses to go, all we can do is make sure she doesn’t go alone and protect her so he can’t get to her. If she doesn’t, we just keep an eye on her as long as we feel like we need to.”

“No one wants her to go,” Alec straightens up. “Hale, Maybeck, look, we don’t want this for her. Of course we don’t. But it’s not our right to arbitrarily decide what she’s allowed to do with her own life.”

“Exactly,” Jackie nods, sighing, setting her shoulders. “I’ll go find out where James took her.”

“Already done,” Min says softly, in the doorway. Jackie jumps, looking at him. Min shakes his head. “She’s asleep. From what James said, she hasn’t slept since she got home and found that thing,” he motions to the invitation with a shudder. “So he made her lay down and rest.”

[bxrn-thc-pxgcs]

Mackenzie let Sylvia hug her, closing her eyes and resting her head and Sylvia's shoulder. She looked at Maybeck when he started speaking to her, sniffling, finally breaking as tears cascaded down her cheeks. She'd always been strong, pretending she was fine but she couldn't hide it anymore, she couldn't pretend.

Nari closed her eyes, turning to Nick and setting her head on his chest. She couldn't deal with this. He'd been in Mackenzie's house, he'd left a note for her...

"Or," Sam said, standing straight, "we make it a trap... for him. Not for her." He looked around. "If she shows up, he'll think he's won. He won't really check if she came alone. He'll just think he won and he'll try to take her."

"Which is exactly what we're trying to avoid," Hale said, frowning.

Sam held up a hand. "But think about it. This? This shows a level of confidence and hubris that's dangerous for him. We can use that."

bxrn-thc-pxgcs​:

Mackenzie sniffled weakly, reaching out towards Sylvia. It wasn’t Sylvia’s fault, and she needed to know that. Mackenzie needed her to know that. Sylvia had only been trying to help, because Mackenzie asked, and she needed to know she was appreciated for it.

Nari nodded in agreement with the twins. “Absolutely not. Nobody here is going to let you meet him alone like he wants you to.”

“Fuck that,” Sam said, holding up a finger.

“We’re not letting that happen.” Hale crossed his arms, shaking his head. “I don’t think it should happen at all, period, end of story.”

Mackenzie shook her head. “It’s my dad. I can’t… I have to go, Hale. I… I have a chance to save him…”

Sylvia goes quickly to Mackenzie, hugging her tightly, whispering softly. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Maybeck looks at Mackenzie, frowning, going over to her as well, sitting down in front of her. “Mackenzie Beatrice Oracle. Do you hear yourself? Madame, it’s been over twenty fucking years. I hate to tell you this, I’m sorry, but no, there isn’t a chance here. You know I know just how much you want this to be real. I do. But at this point? No. No there isn’t. This fucker has just been lying in wait for you to develop enough of your power to do what he wants you to, and now that you’re grown he’s playing on something he knows you’d want, never mind whether or not it’s real. You’re not going. Definitely not alone.”

“Yeah, no fucking chance,” Nick agrees. “Honestly, I’m with Hale on this one.”

“Me, too,” Kyla nods.

“I’ll go,” Alec smirks, holding up a hand, earning him a look from Min. “What? It’d be funny.”

[bxrn-thc-pxgcs]

"I'm here, I'm here," Hale said, stepping up behind Sylvia and Melinda at the door. He paused, looking between the two, then realizing what he was feeling. "Oh. Wards. Oh this is fun."

Mackenzie sat up a bit, finally, waving for the three of them to come in. She looked around at everyone, taking a deep breath, then she grabbed the invitation off the table beside her and handed it to Jackie.

Nari frowned, glancing around. What the hell was that?

Sam crossed his arms, sticking close to Sylvia and Melinda while he waited to hear what was happening.

bxrn-thc-pxgcs​:

Mackenzie looked into the door, processing for a moment. She nodded, shifting in her seat a little. “Yeah. Come on in, guys.”

Sam came towards the door, pausing at the threshold. Mackenzie nodded and waved for him to enter, and he did, slowly stepping through and holstering his gun.

“What’s going on, Kenzie?” Nari asked quietly.

Mackenzie stayed silent for a moment. She shook her head. “Not until everyone’s ready.”

“Love the sound of that,” Sam mumbled, watching Bruno and Saskia trade places, the younger female standing alert by Mackenzie while Bruno patrolled windows.

Nick barrels in without even stopping to note the dogs. If they hate him they hate him. What the hell was going on here? He sniffs the air, trying to get a feel for anything. Alec’s quick to come in, blurring through the house mostly to double check even though he’s sure by now if anyone were still here they’d have been found– he likes to be sure himself. He stops leaned against a wall, crossing his arms and looking to Mackenzie.

Sylvia puts up a few more wards around the door and circles the house with one, looking for all windows and everything before coming back and waiting in the doorway. As she’s getting back to the door, Melinda finishes, shifting her staff back to a pen and tucking it in her pocket before joining Sylvia, peering in. Anything living needed Mackenzie’s permission to come in, every single time now. She’d be back in a couple weeks to re-up it. And she’s pretty sure Sylvia’s covered the dead and the magical beings that call living and dead into question.

Maybeck frowns at what Mackenzie says, wringing his wrists and cracking his knuckles. He hated that. He hated that a lot. Min glances to him and nods in agreement. Jackie squeezes Mackenzie’s hand gently. Kyla shudders where she’s standing next to Maybeck.

James crosses his arms and frowns, trying his best to stand still, failing miserably. He’s anxious. “Are we missing anybody?”

“Hale,” Xinyi remarks, glancing out the door. “Anybody seen him?”

[untxld-stxries]

Hale leaned over to Mackenzie. "The Kenna that made a teacher's pen explode?" Mackenzie nodded.

Kenna raised an eyebrow, but nodded, relaxing. "Kay. Guess you're cool then." She glanced at Jackie, smiling. "Hey, you coming to the slumber party this weekend? Audrey's throwing it to celebrate me joining the squad."

Hale perked up, grinning. "Sports?"

"Sports," Mackenzie said.

untxld-stxries​:

“Yep, because that was totally in my control,” Mackenzie sighed, laughing a bit.

Hale blinked. “Hang on… explain?”

Mackenzie giggled. “I think we’d better let Melinda explain it herself.”

“Let Melinda explain what herself?” Kenna said, stepping up near them. She eyed Hale. “Who’s this?”

Jackie laughs. “I don’t know how you didn’t see it!” She glances up when Kenna steps in. “Whoa, easy there, Kenna, this my little brother Hale, he’s like me, of course. Hale, this is Kenna, one of the six I was telling you about.”

[untxld-stxries]

"Yep, because that was totally in my control," Mackenzie sighed, laughing a bit.

Hale blinked. "Hang on... explain?"

Mackenzie giggled. "I think we'd better let Melinda explain it herself."

"Let Melinda explain what herself?" Kenna said, stepping up near them. She eyed Hale. "Who's this?"

untxld-stxries​:

“Oh, shit, remind me to say hi to Aunt Kara,” Hale said, pointing at Mackenzie.

“Don’t think you’ll need me to, I think she’ll remind you herself by showing up.”

Hale paused. “You’re right. You’re right. Yep. Okay! So, weird is normal, normal is weird, that sound about right?”

“Just about. Don’t expect anyone at this school to seriously believe you’re normal, at this point I’ve just learned to ignore it,” Jackie rolls her eyes. “Then again, it doesn’t help our circumstances that someone had to go and make friends with the Sequel Edition of Morgan Le Fay,” she glances to Mackenzie as she says it teasingly.

[untxld-stxries]

Kenna grumbled. She winced a bit, but played it off, adjusting her satchel. "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know."

Mackenzie bit her lip. "Hey, you-"

"I know that's not what she meant, chill." Kenna held up a hand, waving them off. "Okay, I'm gonna let you guys get back to... whatever you were doing. Ciao." She walked off.

Hale blinked, clearing his throat. "Uh... what?"

"Pretty much the thing I was saying we should let Melinda explain."

untxld-stxries​:

Kenna sighed, pouting. “But what if I’m screwing with him without him knowing I’m screwing with him? I can sit in the back of the class and just twirl my pencil and suddenly oops, all of his chalk disintegrates when he touches it.”

Hale blinked, glancing to Jackie. Wow. This girl really was careless about magic, huh? It made things way too easy for some people. He shrugged, smiling at his sister. “Ooh, yeah, I’ll do that. Sounds sick.”

Jackie shares that glance with her brother and just nods slightly in agreement, knowing they’re thinking the same thing. She turns back to Kenna. “I mean, it’s only a matter of time if you do. Sure it’s fun, but given how dramatically Melinda’s reveal happened, if you keep it up everyone’s gonna know it’s you. I mean, everyone already knows you’re kind of related and I think people are already figuring your sister out. Better to be safe than sorry, yeah?”

[untxld-stxries]

"Oh, shit, remind me to say hi to Aunt Kara," Hale said, pointing at Mackenzie.

"Don't think you'll need me to, I think she'll remind you herself by showing up."

Hale paused. "You're right. You're right. Yep. Okay! So, weird is normal, normal is weird, that sound about right?"

untxld-stxries​:

Hale chuckled, sighing. “Nari does love her rocks.”

“Oh her collection has grown astronomically,” Mackenzie said. “Half her hoarde nest is pretty rocks.”

Hale whistled. “Wow. Didn’t it just used to be a quarter?”

“See, but no one here seems to bat an eye at her, so she’s been working more frequently on her collection,” Jackie explains. “Everything here is weird, so nothing is, y’know?”
