Laws Be Damned!

[Beautiful Dreamer]

"Down the hall and to your left Miss." The short haired office assistant told the tall dark haired woman that stood infront of her.

Dreamer nodded silently her ocean eyes locked on the hall infront of her. She smiled her black velvet hat slanted over one eye. The waiting room was emty, excluding the office assistant who must have been no older than 17. Dreamer walked over to her desk and smiled happily. Leaned over and grabed the woman's head with both hands.

"Thank you..." She kissed the woman on her forehead. "...Peace be with you pumpkin..."

A pale blue smoke began to fill the room. She released the woman's head just as the woman's eyes began to droop her head falling on to the key board infront of her. Dreamer smiled and smoothed down her long dark hair as she grabbed a disk from the computer desk and pocketed it. She wore her usual pale blue bell bottoms however today she wore it with her pale baby blue dress shirt. She took in a deep breathe and all of the smoke that had filled the room quickly vanished. She smiled smugly and walked down the hall kicking each door open and exhaling just enough for the smoke to fill each room. She finally arrived at the final office the 'down the hall and to your left.'

Dreamer smirked slightly as she walked in pulling her hat low over her eyes. She knocked, once, twice, then kicked in the door. She saw a short gray balding man jump as she walked in her eyes locked on his.

"Why hello there Dr. Murphy! Nice to see you again, what has it been? Seven, no I'm sorry eight years..." She said this grinning widely as though happy to see him but her eyes said otherwise. She slammed the door behind her locking it. She grabbed a chair and flipped it arround stradling it and laying her arms on the back rest infront of her. She smiled her ocean eyes starring at him.

"Oh My, my, my..." She said grabbing the small plaque that rested on his desk. "You're not a doctor at all are you Mister Murphy?"

Her eyes flashed dangerously at the fat freckled man that stood before her. "Then what, may I ask, were you doing sticking needles into little children in warehouse, hmm?"

The man was now slinking near the wall looking utterly confused. His eyes were the furious, the size of quarters. "I-I- dont know what your talking about! Who let you in here? Get out this instant."

Dreamer smirked and rested her head on her forearms her head tilted. "Oh really? I've got three kids outside that say otherwise and they wont take so kindly to being told to get out. Nuh-uh Doc...be nice...Or if you really want me to get out, stick me."

She extended her forearm and unbuttoned the cufflink and pulling up the sleeve revealing a pale white forearm tiny scars decorated her arm the size of dimes. She smirked slightly as he gave a gasp of realization.

"I didnt- I wasnt- I was FORCED!" He said staring at her edging toward the open window. Dreamer smirked slightly and walked over to the window quickly and shut it now standing a full foot and a half taller than him.

"Forced, really? Is that why you offered to exectute that "wild" muatnat behind the warehouse? Releasing the mutants from the experiments doesnt make them forgive you Doctor Murphy...No..."

She stood at her full height now raising her hand to his forehead but he backed away "Get away from me you animal!"


Dreamer smirked and blinked slightly starring at her hand that still remained in the air. "Did you ever find out what I can do Doctor Murphy? My powers...how I, and others like me, can destroy you? No? I thought so..."

She extended her palm and a large sphere of pale blue smoke began to form slowly swirling and spinning on her palm. She looked up at him grinning. "I, Mr. Murphy, can control you." She said it so clearly and softly that it sounded almost humorous.
"Your thoughts, your memories, your dreams... all with this simple little ball of smoke."

He looked utterly terrified as he backed into the wall and said in a hushed tone. "Dreamer...it-it was you!"

Dreamer smirked "Ah, so you do remember me? Didnt you ever find it funny how you've been having the same dream for the past four years? Didnt tell anyone I hope, no because then they'd think you were a freak...one of us-"

He shouted out of grief or pain. "I'D NEVER BE ONE OF YOU ANIMALS!"

Dreamer put a finger to her lips. "Shhhh...you'll wake the others. Now to buisness Doctor Murphy or shall I say Mayor Murphy...seems like you've racked up a really good reputation here. I hear you're going to sign a Mutant Law is that right? Restrict hours for mutants to go out and do their shopping, requesting that mutant children be kept seperate from the other children."

She walked up to him mere inches from his face. "You woudnt do that would you?" Before she could move make a single movement he pulled a pen out of his pocket and stabbed her arm with a strangled cry of "get away!"

Dreamer did not cry out or stumble back in pain, hurt though it did she didnt want to give him the satisfaction of causing her pain.
"You werent very steady with a needle then either I shouldnt wonder..."

He starred at her terrified she grabbed him by the tie he wore dragging him over to the desk, thankfully her brief relationship with Boost have given her extra strength powers and bit more physical strength than usual, where the computer was roaring and ready to serve. She poped in the disk from her pocket and began to print out the pages. He was whispering something a mingle of insults and threats, but Dreamer kept the smoke ball in the hand that held the tie so they were more silent than anything.

She found a pen and handed it to him "Sign the veto." She commanded her eyes no longer happy or joyful. He struggled again, Dreamer didnt need this she had places to go and people to knock out. She pulled him to her face and blew a puff of air near his nose, his expression immidiatly changed into pleasent agreeable one. His tone also change "Yes of course Miss.."

Dreamer frowned slightly annoyed with herself, "Good..."

She frowned slightly as her phone began to ring watching Murphy sign the paper, she looked at the name on the screen blinking on and off and smirked slightly as she answered it. "Hello, city Morg how may we help you today?"

She heard an amused voice on the other end "Cut it out Beau its creepy. Did you get it done?"

Dreamer peered over the Mayor's shoulder. "Almost but not quiet. Still have to make the get away and those kids you sent me are out of control, Blinks. If they're not fucking careful they're going to get us caught. They go arround flaunting their powers like we've already dominated. If they keep it up I'm going to have to emty a few heads ya hear?"

Blink laughed on the other line "No fair, break your own toys Beau I need their memories. Besides if you do that then who'll you have to play with? Poor Beau will be all alone again...no Boost to drain from."

Dreamer snatched the papers from the Mayor as soon as he was done signing. "Hold on a sec Blinks-"
She put the phone on the desk and looked over at the Mayor glaring. "Thanks Doc.." She gave a long exhale and the room began to fill with pale blue smoke she grabbed the phone and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. She answered the phone. "Alright now its done...you just hope that you're little minions are still out there or by the power vested in me I will emty some heads Bee...."

The paper clutched in her hands as she walked into the waiting room throwing the papers on the office assistant's desk. "He says he wants these verified, copied, and sent out to the next county over for future reference." She blew a bit of her breath in the girl's face, saw the girl's expression change to a pleasent one and smile. Dreamer looked out the window and swore softly. Watching the chaos outside. A parked car, her car was now encased with ice and there was a swarm of police surrounding the building. She gave a groan. She heard Blink's laughter on the other end.

"Surpirse surprise Beau...good luck...have fun-CLICK" Dreamer gave a low sigh.

[Morpheus]

Often Rue Cauldwell, also known as Morphus. Why Morphus, sounded like a guy's name right? Well that was probably due to the fact that it was a guy's name, a god to be exact. The God of Dreams, and Rue was the goddess. Unfortunately the ancients were slightly sexist, hence her reason for taking a male name rather than female. Oh well, she dealt with it, though people often believed she was a male which gave them a little shock when they saw her in the flesh rather than in their dreams.

Rue could manipulate dreams, change them into the best dream you've even had or the worse. Those dreams that made you wake up in a cold sweat and shake uncontrollably. Those that made you loose sleep every night. And contrary to popular belief, everyone eventually slept. And currently she was walking through a particularly pleasant dream that she wasn't very fond of. Several bunnies, rainbows, all that lovely stuff that wasn't reality. Shrugging she her eyes turned a faint grey color as the scenery around her victim changed. Now it was a waste land.

The result of a war between human's and mutants. Guess who won? Mutants of course. Humans had nothing on them. Stepping out of the dream she opened her eyes. One of the bad things about her powers was that although she didn't need the person to be asleep in order to change their dreams, it did render her body slightly more vulnerable than usual. Cracking her knuckles she snapped out of her thoughts as she sighed softly picking up her pace. She had a certain athority figure to pay a visit to. Though she had a feeling that someone had beaten her to the front.

Clearing her throat her eyes darted toward a now frozen car, most likely a get away car for someone against the mutants becuase Drake aka Ice Man was one of the X-Men. And beint part of the Brotherhood, Rue wasn't to fond of them either, but she wasn't going to charge into a fight without thinking. Plus she was a secret weapon of sorts. No one knew much about her, so being a mystery to both the Brotherhood and everyone else was in her favor. Looking up she saw a woman in the exact room that had been her target. Damn, beaten to the punch.

Walking up slowly she stood in the doorway as the girl hung up the phone. Rue's arms crossed over her chest. "Nice work, though next time I would suggest using another mode of transportation." Rue wasn't there to fight the girl, after all she had done her job for her, so why bother adding a fight to it?

[Beautiful Dreamer]

Dreamer looked out the window to hear the piercing scream of one of Blink's minions as she ran from a flaming piece of tire that was flung at her. She felt her blood boil, they were acting like humans. It sickened her as she starred out at them wanting to shout, to scream orders at them but she knew it woud do no good. They had to have their tutor with them on the feild of battle or else things would just fall apart.

Dreamer shook her head tilting her evenly over her eyes. Now at least she'd have better vision. She jumped slightly ready to blast the whole room full of amnesia smoke when she saw the face. She gave her a nodd of agreement, she knew the girl, she was apart of the Brotherhood, or sorts. She didnt quite seem to belong, though Dreamer knew she was not one to cling she didnt look the part. Dreamer looked over at her and gave a small smirk.

"Hawk was out doing his morning glide over the hills. Didnt want to bother him with something so trivial. We can handle ourselves-" She heard another scream from the girl outside. She stuck her head out the window stupidly knowing it was the best way to get shot. "Claire! Stand your fucking ground or I'm going to-"

A felt something wizz past her ear she stuck her head back inside before she spotted a grizzly looking man. She swore softly under her breath. "X-men..."

She looked over at the girl. " The names Dreamer...I suggest you stand back if you dont want to get your hands dirty."

She walked over to the hall doors and opened them wide taking in the full impact for the chaos watching two of Blink's Minions run past her toward the commercial district. " Ajax! Hazard! Get Siren and tell her to shut the fuck up! Form a line!"

The two boys did as they were told grabbing the red haired girl and formed a small four person line. Dreamer glared at them "If Blink only knew..."

Siren looked at her "She wont know will she?"

Dreamer tapped the girls nose. "She will...If you conqure them. She'll know. If you dont, then you wont even remember what you did last Thursday. Diversionary tactics Siren you know what to do...."

Dreamer looked over at the girl that stood on the steps to the office and gave a half smile. "Feel free to join in honey..."

[Morpheus]

"I shall stand out of your way, no need for a fight if it isn't needed. Plus it seems you've accomplished my mission for me."

Rue said her voice airy though loud enough to be heard over the cause outside. That little technique hadn't taken her long to master and only added to her mysterious reputation among the Brotherhood. Not many people knew who she was or where she came from, but that really wasn't what mattered currently. All that she was on their side and willing to do anything for the survival of mutants. Which was true, she could careless about anyone's life except her own because if she did that was a weakness. And a weakness that she could not afford to have.

Although her powers were useful, like others they were limited. She could only transport people a certain distance and even then it took a lot out of her to do so. Because no only did she have to move their mind but their body as well. Although she could move their mind to a place inside themselves where it was heard to get it back rendering the person a living vegetable. That had become a useful skill several times in the past. And when she used her powers she didn't have to be asleep a light forcefield was created around her body so no physical damage could become of her. But that barrier was no entirely solid.

Looking at the girl again she looked down. Was that...Jason? No, couldn't be. It looked an awful lot like him to say the least. But the Jason she had known was dead. Yet she couldn't tear her eyes from him. That young man, looked exactly like her childhood friend who had died in a fire. It's as if she was bolted into place. And as he looked up, probably for the woman he that was standing in the room as her their eyes met and Rue was frozen completely. No he was dead, and it was all her fault. She had told herself that constantly over the years. Yet here was a man who looked exactly like him. It was insane.

[sorry for the crappyness *sigh*]

[Beautiful Dreamer]

Dreamer nodded her smile still on her thin lips. She turned to the small group before her. Siren looking utterly put out, Ajax looking as bored as usual, and Hazard. Where was that boy? She looked arround to see him goggling at the girl on the steps. She frowned, he was going to be the first to get his memory whiped from him she could get feel it in her finger tips. Siren saw her glance and looked over at Hazard.

"Oi! Haz-mat you tweak get over here or you'll get us all in trouble!" She screamed at him over the noise. Her voice was like a shrill screech that rang throughout the whole vicinity. Dreamer and Ajax put their hands over their ears squinting against the pain. That was her power after all, she could shatter anything with her voice. Blink would often joke that she would make a hell of a rock star singer.

Dreamer nodded as Hazard came closer the whole temperature of the air arround them seemed to heat up. Dreamer ignored it though hated that he would always change it to suit him. Abusing his powers yet again. Ajax was calm his black hair pulled back in a small pony tail. They gathered in a small circle. Dreamer felt her frustration take her full impact.

"Now what happened?" She said firmly. "Why are the X-men here what did you guys do while I was away?" She glared at them all.

Ajax moved uncomfortably. "Ya see...the thing is-"

A large chunk of a flaming tire wizzed toward the ground Hazard stood his ground his eyes squinted shut in consentration. The tire suddenly was engulfed in flames as the temperature of the air arround them increased. The tire spun in the air for a few seconds then fell to the ground in ashes. Ajax looked slightly annoyed. Dreamer ignored it. "Siren on the count of three we split...Diversionary tatics. ONE."

Ajax and Hazard immediatly began to put their hands over their ears ready to run at a dead sprint. Dreamer did the same watching Siren as she took a deep breath. "TWO."

She and the others ran at a dead sprint toward the inside of the building. Dreamer spotted the girl who still stood on the front steps and pulled her into the building. "Honey you chose the wrong time to come into the district. Duck and cover." She poked her head out of the window watching one of the X-men near Siren and shouted "THREE!"

Diving bellow one of the desks a piercing scream shattered the windows throughout the building. Pain beyond pain filled Dreamer's ear drums though she knew it was only temporary.

[Morpheus]

Damn that girl and her horrible shreiking. That would definitely be a power that would get old fast. It was currently annoying her now. It was a wondering what it was doing to the X-Men, though that thought made her lips curl into a small smile. What was that man googling at? She had half a mind to smack him over the head or haunt his dreams with horribly terrifying visions that would control his every waking moment. Rue just glared deciding not to interfere with members of Hexus more than she had to. After all they weren't part of the Brotherhood and she wasn't supposed to associate with them unless necessary.

And of course what was she doing? Talking with one of their main members. Great, just what she needed. Oh well, whats done is done, and hopefully Magneto wouldn't kill her for it. Most likely not because she was definitely a needed member of the group. As she was tackled to the ground by something she grumbled, though her voice wasn't audible over the extreme shrill voice of the girl called Siren. Covering her ears she closed her eyes hard. Wow, was that annoying, but it probably came in handy to say the least. What would happen if the girl got a cold though?

Shaking her head she cleared her thoughts. Rue had to get out of there. This was not her fight and she didn't need to be there. Though she could pretend to be an innocent and infultrate the X-Men ranks. But with Xavier's gift that wouldn't be the best thing, he would be able to see past her impassive mask to her true intentions and she had no desire of getting caught to say the least. Weaving in and out of building she hopped over fences to just get out of the way. After all this definitely was not her fight.

[uh again horrible post. terribly short too]

[Inferno]

Dreamer waited a few seconds then shot her head out of the window to see that Siren was running out of air. Dreamer motioned for the rest of Blink's minoions to follow her outside. She looked at the girl and motioned for her to come along.

"Dont worry hon, I dont bite." She waved her over. "And from the look on those X-men's faces they're planning to interrogate anyone left behind. Considering we're both in the same ploy here I suggest you come along with us..."

Dreamer looked over at Ajax who was now sprinting over to the front doors hearing Siren's voice slowly begin to loose its power. He burst through grabbing her arm quickly and sprint toward the Library. Dreamer half in shock and half in anger shouted after him "AJAX GET BACK HERE!"

Too late he and Siren had already disappeared down the street. She was left with Hazard who at the moment seemed to be distracted with his lip ring. Dreamer swore softly her phone began to ring, the name on the screen blinked on and off on and off. Dreamer swore softly. "Hello! Damn it Blinks your fucking little play things ran away again. I swear one more out burst like this and you're going to have three-"

Hazard gave a groan of "But I didnt do anything!"

Dreamer shot him a look "Thats because you never do anything. Blinks if you think that I'm going to waste my-"

She heard laughter on the other end. "Just wanted to catch up. Have fun Beau. Dont do anything I wouldnt do, do it worse. Adios-CLICK."

Dreamer swore softly her eyes now landing on the girl. "So are you going to just sit there or are you going to help? Cause at the moment I'm in no mood to drag along anyone who wont carry their own wait."

[Morpheus]

"Sit where? I'm already up and moving away from the X-Men. I'm not that dense." She said with a slight grumble and jumped from the fence she had perched herself on.

True with her wide eyes she certainly gave the appearance of being slow and definitely not useful in any other manner besides her powers but in reality she was rather smart. Graduated high school in the top of her class and everything. Hopping down on the other side of the fence she ran down the alleyway hearing footsteps behind her. Soon the X-Men would realize that they were no longer in the area and fan out to look for them all. Rue certainly knew they were even interrigate her for just being associated with Hexus.

And once they found out she was in the Brotherhood she'd be even more of a help to them which was definitely nothing she wanted to do. Running throught he streets she skidded to a halt deciding which way to go. Trying to decide from which direction the X-Men were coming from was crucial toward their direction. And she certainly was not going to run head into them if she could help it. Listening quickly she heard voice off to the right and then turned left down the maze of streets not bothering to see if the other behind her had caught up.

They were definitely not her problem. She could handle herself, and in reality she had to get back to the Brotherhood before Magneto went on a rant again or started to believe she was becoming treaturous. He was one of those people you never messed with and Rue wasn't planning on doing that anytime soon.

[Inferno]

Dreamer looked over at her rolling her eyes slightly. If she wanted to be a little precious then let her be one. Dreamer exhaled slowly a thick pale white smoke began to surround them. She nodded over at Hazard. He was no older than seventeen though he was tall and burly enough to be mistaken for being older. She nodded over to him.

"Do your thing Hazard. Concentrate!" She commanded, he nodded and closed his eyes immediately the air arround them heated into a sticky hot. Dreamer exhaled again making the thick pale blue smoke float about the grounds.

"Sleep..." She said grinning as she walked cat like past a tiny looking new X-men who's eye drooped. "Everybody sleeps...everybody sleeps, let the dooooze close your eyes...let the morning creep..."

She sung it soothingly almost hypnotic as she walked past them their eyes slowly drooping as she passed engulfed in her Dream smoke. Hazard followed close behind tossing arround small homemade bombs arround the building his eyes too drooping but he did as he was told. Dreamer was now at a safe distance from the building looking back once and motioned over for Hazard to come toward her. He nodded moving as though he was walking through syrup. Dreamer gave an annoyed growl and inhaled deeply the smoke now disappearing from his path.

"Light the fire..." She heard him say softly his eyes drooping looking as though he were high. She snorted slightly and clapped once. The air arround them was heated more and more until the bombs exploded near the dozin X-men. Dreamer gave a bored yawn and grabbed Hazard's arm. "Lets go find the other lunk heads."

[Morpheus]

Keeping upon her current path she froze in place hearing voices ahead of her. Damnit, they were looking for anyone out of the ordinary and to bad Rue had made a habit out of standing out of the crowd recently. Mentally cursing herself she glanced around looking for another escape route. Glancing upward she noticed some scaffolding above leading to an open window. Perfect, silently she climbed the ladder upward and climbed through the open window stepping gently onto the polished floor below.

Glancing around she listened intently. Hearing nothing she sat down her legs crossing as she went into the trance she did when using her powers. The invisible force feild was raised in protection. Walking through what seemed like a maze, but to her it was as familiar as the back of her hand. First she entered the dreams of several of the X-Men watching from a distance to see what their fear was. Useful information in the future to say the least.

[ugh sorry for the shortness >.<]

[Beautiful Dreamer]

Dreamer looked down the steps of the Library toward the now dozing X-men. It wasnt enough to knock them out, she wanted to have a bit of a challenge before she went home. It was disgraceful really, mutant against mutant. Brother against Brother. She gave a frustrated sigh and heard a voice from behind her say bitterly.

"They're all confused bastards Beau...they'll bow down in the end...they dont understand how important this is."

Dreamer turned arround to smirked seeing a short white haired blonde with dazzeling blue eyes starring down at her wearing her usual casual wear of white and gray. She had a her ice blue goggles on to protect her eyes from her powers. Dreamer looked up at her and walked up.

"What if they dont want to Blinks. What if they fight back?" Her voice was serious more sarcastic and bitter now that she stood smiling at her old friend. Dreamer was colder arround Blink, harder, almost cruel, for Dreamer that is.

Blink shrugged a dead leaf fluttering infront of her. She blinked it froze in mid air she extended her hand and twirled the still protion of air that held the leaf in a slight cube of frozen time. She blinked again and it shatted, like glass flying, in every direction the leaf. She frowned. "Then we'll have to fight back wont we? Where are my minions I dont have time for their failure. They nearly got you caught, again. But you hae to admit the first time was funny."

Dreamer rolled her eyes and blew a bit of dark chocolate hair out of her eyes. She looked over behind the pillars of the libary doors to see Siren along with Ajax and Hazard looking as bored as ever. She gave an annoyed grunt. "Your minions are tiresome, mister sister."

Blinks smirked and walked over to them elegantly almost like a cat. She shot them a look, they flinched. She was prone to freeze things in time then shatter them. She opened her mouth to speak but Dreamer ignored it looking over and seeing a dazed and confused looking girl stading in the middle of a raving crowd of anti-mutants. Dreamer smirked and said softly "Ah what a tangled web we weave..."

Normally Dreamer was not one to look for a fight but today she was feeling a bit up for it. She was annoyed with the "minions" but she knew Blink would take care of it, she needed someone to take out her frustration on. She watched as the girl climbed the ladder toward the inside of the library. Dreamer opened the doors with a loud creak to see the girl sitting down on the polished marble floor. Dreamer smirked slightly and crossed her arms.

"Funny how things work out doll..." She heard footsteps behind her she didnt need to turn she knew who it was just by the way the sound of the steps were soft and almost catious as they stepped on the floor.

She saw Blink's white blonde hair appear next to her. Dreamer looked over at her as Blink wrinkled her nose and looked down at the girl as though she were a bug. "Doesnt get out much does she? Ten bucks say I can shatter her into-"

Dreamer shook her head watching the girl. "Not now.. She's doing something.."

[Morpheus]

Now deep into the dreams of a particular mutant. She could see his fear growing as she watched and waited as the man screamed in terror. The dream she currently inhabited was that of a guy nicknamed "The Acquisitor" who could possess people. Definitely a useful power at times, but it seemed it took more of a toll on him than appeared. The man was slowly loosing himself in his own mind, due to the fact that he apparently took a memory out of the person's mind which isn't in his control. Rue felt slight sympathy for him, though not enough to stop the horror that was currently happening now.

Slipping out of his mind she moved to the next mutant, those who didn't have the power to sheild her out. Moving from each mutants they all screamed and writhed due to their dreams. Signs that they were having particularly horrible nightmares yet could not wake to relieve the stress. That's what Rue brought, stress, to say the least. The reason why she was useful in her own way. Everyone had to sleep and it was only a matter of time before she got to them in their dreams seeing what their fears were and exploiting that knowledge to it's full potential.

As she came back to her own body she knew there were people near her even before she opened her eyes." You know, I'm not as naive as you think. " She said with a slight smile on her face before the sheild lowered and she stood opening her eyes as she heard the X-Men screaming out in horror as they slept. A satisfied smirk came to her lips.

[Beautiful Dreamer]

Dreamer heard noises from outside and smirked slightly her arms crossed. She wasnt one to simply ask what she had done, it was clear she was messing with someone or something. She smiled.

"I never said you were naiive hun...you dont fit the part." Dreamer said smirking. "You never told me your name. Like I said I'm Beautiful Dreamer...or just Dreamer."

Blink gave a groan of annoyance as she stood looking absoultely irritated by something. "Come on Beau I need to hit up the bank for a few thousand bucks. Christmas is comming."

Dreamer looked over at her slightly amused. "Not like you ever buy anything for anyone."

Blink snorted. "I never said I was going to buy anything for anyone else. Its for me dumbass." She gave a bored yawn and waved her away walked toward the enterance to the Library. "Too many d-damn books here...I can feel my brain stretching by just being here...lets go Beau."

Dreamer looked over at Blink and shrugged. "Fine. Your have skill...of sorts. Think you'd like a few thousand bucks to have in your pocket? I think they'd be suspicious after the last time, think we need a new face."
