Things were "calming down" from the last encounter. Investigators are getting a bit more serious about looking into the elemental business and see why it's going on or if there will be more in the future. PETA wound up protesting the protesters though at a cost. PETA is now visiting the police station often and for Emerald, Haalima, Mittens and Timothius, this is an inconvenience. Thankfully, PETA has learned to respect boundaries to some degree (Mittens can get VERY annoying when she wants to. And still seem like a friendly person).
The heroes are all rested up, feeling better, and generally recuperated from the battle with the dragon. The kid's suicidal tendencies really were strictly related to drug overdose. Between him, the rescued children and the criminal, it has all landed a LOT of cred for the Citizen Patrol heroes.
But today is different. Today, the group is in the middle of being taught the basics of police procedure (so they don't wind up with criminals who get off the hook for any reason) when in steps a young lady.
The lady has a light-brown tone to her skin, could be mistaken as black, Latino or Caucasian, depending on how she's dressed, lighting, and who is looking at her. She has black, loose wavy hair that goes about halfway down her back. She has eyes that seem to be a powerful blue that can sometimes be mistaken as purple. The woman carries herself with an air of confidence. She's wearing a white business outfit (the kind with a skirt), red blouse, and is holding a palm pilot. She smiles and waits for the others to give her a chance to speak before saying,
"Hello. I'm Angel Bard and I'm here to offer you a place you can call your own."
(Her general appearance, although this pic is old and is from the Gundam setting:

Emmy isn't sure at first. This is too good to be true and nothing good in life comes for free. There HAVE to be strings attached. But, she isn't the leader of this group. So she just puckers her lips in a silly thought posture before glancing at Mittens with a "what do you think" look to her face.
Timothius and Liberty both crack smiles, the young, naive kids that they are, and have hopeful looks on their faces.
