New Players In The Pattern

[Sage]

Sage let loose a sigh of relief. "I think I can show you." Sage took Aiden's hand and checked his shoulder and pulled him along the driveway away from the traps. "Keep Lasher off the grass. If he needs to go there is a spot out back. I'll show you."

Sage led the way into the door Christian had been sitting at. There was a gun sitting on the table on the right side. Sage didn't know how to use it and he frowned at it as he walked into the foyer. But it was nothing new, he was just a hacker. "Over there, is the study. It's the best place in the place. Upstairs is everything else you rich and famous people like." Sage grinned at Aiden and led the way into the kitchen. "My second favorite place. The kitchen." The island in the middle had fruits waiting to be eaten. And the fridge was fully stocked. Nox's favorite part of the kitchen was the large brick oven on the other side of the island. The best pizza came out of that oven. Sage grinned as he lead Aiden through the kitchen and down into the basement.

It wasn't so dusty anymore as when they first started using it. Nova piled down the stairs ahead of them. Sage flipped the lights on and as you walked down the stairs the walls were covered in a plastic that wasn't really plastic, it was black and it hid the scorch marks well. The floor once they reached the bottom was too. Lining the walls there were several tennis ball serving machines. There were some pillars in the middle of the room holding the ceiling up. There was a set of weights and punching bag across the room in the corner and a couch on the other side of the pillars. The hall to Christian's room and Nox's hole in the wall and the gym like bathroom down the same hall at the end.

"This is home."
