Parker thanked the maid since Noel was sitting and behaving well. He motion the the tray with her food since he had already taken his off the tray. “ there we are. Breakfast.” He said in a joking way since she had a high protein breakfast today. He had a lot more fruits and vegetables, nothing heavy though since he had to fly still. ~~~ At the mention of mint ice cream she smiled a toothy smile. “ I do like cold mints.” She said since it was all ‘mints’ to her. She looked out the window when he thanked her on behaving practically, she gave him a nod since she was a good girl, she could behave. She knew as soon as he looked at his phone he was back in his work mode so she stayed quiet as they traveled. As they arrived at the cafe she opened the door for Alex and watched everything around them for signs of aggression. Picking an outside table was nice- lot more ways to get out if needed after all- no real walls. She glanced over then menu and ordered a salad, a practical whole leg of any animal they had enough of, and seven bowls of cold mint ice cream. Oh and a pitcher of water. The waiter was looking very uncomfortable as they went back with that strange of an order but Mara seemed pleased with it. When some one was crossing the street, she noticed they were looking st Slec, making her smile disappear, watching the man it seemed. When he called his name her eyes flickered to Alex who didn’t seem pleased to see him, as she could tell by the quick contact. When the humans’ eyes went to her she went into her little party host mode however that was different then with how she babies Alex, she was almost hostile under the sweet she was showing. She took the hand with her metal one and gave it an uncomfortable pressure, starting at the boy. “ I am not some one you need to know.Mr. Masterson, however I would advise you go about your day as to not interrupt Mr. Foresythes’.” She Stated before letting him go. If he persisted she was going to get mean, Alex knew she gave you one chance. It was probably obvious to Slex that she didn’t like this new comer who tried to be overly friendly with him.

Noel happily went to grab the food, plopping down on the floor with her legs tucked under the sleeper shirt. She grabbed some of the bacon and gave it a happy smile. "This is better than the meals from the labs. A bit fancier and well, more." She said with a grin before she devoured some of it. She looked then at Parker's breakfast and raised a brow. "you only eat vegetables? Here do you want some sausage?" She asked as she held her plate to him since didn't he say they were similar as predators. ~~~ Alex watched Mara's show of power to Ben as she offered the metal hand to shake. It was rather funny to see the man grow uncomfortable under the touch and the way Mara's voice was sweet but her words were hostile. Alex appreciated that about Mara...Ben blinked at her cold welcome and gave an uncomfortable laugh. "Um, okay. I was just stopping by to see how you were doing Alex...but I can see your friend here doesn't like company much." He said with a frown that made Alex nod. "She is very direct. I appreciate her opinion. And she is right. I'm terribly busy and this is my break. So if there was soemthing you needed my time is limited." Alex said as he drank his tea almost uncaringly as though the man were the nusiance he really was. Ben gave a frown before he nodded and decided to speak. "Well besides seeing how a college colleague was doing...I was just checking if you heard any news from Leah and Theo. I haven't seen much of her since we all went out and even then its radio silence. Is everything okay?" Alex blinked at the question before looking to Ben with a shrug. Why was he so curious about Leah and Theo? He didn't buy the sincerity act from him... "She and her bird are probably off in their own little world. Perhaps try her father if you really must know. I'm not Leah's keeper." He said with a hint of annoyance that made Ben nod. "Alright, thanks. Enjoy your lunch Alex and you--miss?" He said before walking off with a small thought of how to best approach this Leah situation... Alex watched him walk off and gave Mara a rasie of his brow. "You really didn't like the weasel either?" He said as he was sure Mara had a radar for BS.

Parker rose a brow at the offer. “Umm no thanks Noel, I have to eat a specific way if I want to be able to fly.” He Stated very literally since it was true. He did take a sausage off the plate and take a bit, deeming to enjoy it. “ Thank you though, they like to police my diet here.” He said with a smile since they played mommy with his food all the time. ~~~ At the mention of Theo she kept her face straight because it included Leah- the part of Theo that she didn’t like. At alex’s comment she shook her head. “Roach would be a more accurate term I think. I’m curious what a Theodore thinks of it...” She said since she was curious today, sadly it was revolving around Sydney first and what play toy they almost had taken away.

Noel was a bit confused how eating affected his wings but she kept that question to herself as to not be a pest. She instead focused on eating some of the fruit that was on her plate to balance out the protein with sugar. She did however pause when he talked about them policing his diet. "They police you here? Why your stronger than them?" She asked since she did believe that Parker could be the dominant one here if he pleased since he was the one with wings and was a younger more complete model. Instead, he seemed to bow down to the strong hormone instinct of the alpha male. While she wanted to be friends with Theo, she wasn't sure she wanted him to think he had the right to talk down to her or Parker. ~~~ Alex raised a brow at her wondering what Theo thought of Ben. "If I had to give a guess. Probably dislike as well. I think the bird--I mean your brother has a good read on character. Besides, Ben and Leah have a history that I think Ben seems to be pushing or pursuing. It's going to get him killed." He said matter of factly since it was perhaps one of a few things he and Theo saw eye to eye on. Alex then gave a shrug as the waiter brought their food over and set it out, being careful with Mara's odd order since she got quite a bit. "That is if he doesn't turn out to be the mole. He's the one that works under Dr. Emar as a lab assistant. Tell me why a vet researcher suddenly decided to switch to bio-engineering? And he's backbiting enough for it..." He said since he had a bad feeling about it all and was sure that Mara would too.

Parker nodded when asked if they policed his food still even if he were stronger. She didn't seem to get the understanding he had in the house- more like the 'Food chain' as it were. "Noel, you need to understand that even if I seem the stronger experiment out of Theo and Gerald I have to say they both have more experience then I do in everything, not to mention training and knowledge I simply don't know. For example-Theo he has been training since he was able to walk- I have only been training a little over a year now. Even with out wings- he can put me down quickly, its rather embarrassing still." He stated to the girl to let her know that Theo didn't need to look like an experiment to be as destructive as one. ~~~ Mara nodded to Alex's reflection on her question since it was a probability. Anyone who once liked Leah- or had dated Leah was as good as dead if they didn't stay away, they all figured that one out quickly. When the talk of the mole came about she rose a white brow at him. They had a mole once and he saw how that turned out quickly. "How about I offer my mole finding services to Theodore? I am quite good at it." She said more with a joking tone to make it seem playful even if her eyes were saying a more 'I told you so' look.

Noel listened to what Parker had to say and gave it some consideration. She was used to being the top of the food chain of the experiments around her in the secret lab of RO's. However, she got her title because she was the strongest and longest surviving, not because of the experiences she had. The news that Theo, the wingless experiment, could take Parker down quickly made her look at him with some shock. "I see your point. It would be problematic to argue with the older ones." She said since the jury was still out for her on whether or not she would just lay down and take it if Theo got hostile with her. She did look to Parker through and gave him a half smile. "You're nicer than Theo. He just seems...intense. Like he's on edge about something always. Or like he might break something if you sniff at him the wrong way. Or at least that's what he smells like." She added, just saying her thoughts since she was trying to sort out her own feelings on this whole pack thing when she hadn't really met all of them and wasn't sure how she fit into all this. ~~~ The comment and I told you so look made Alex give her a 'really?' look. She was never going to let him live that down was she? He was just glad he got out of it with some leg pain and a scar and not his life. It had been a close one..."Yes, actually. I trust your judgment over the others. They have a tendency to let things get out of hand. Bad fortune seems to follow your brother like a cloud." He said since it was true. Usually when they were left to handle things, other chaos followed. And with Mara there as support in all this they would only be more productive in stopping the leak.

When Noel explained things to him about how Theodore seemed to her he nodded. "Yes, I can see where you get that. He is...well he is on some heavy medications right now. He is dealing with the loss of his wings Noel. Theo's sister- who is just as scary as him- Theo and I all had to do some training and I got out of control...I could have killed my family- or had them have to kill me but- Theo kept us all alive. I owe Theodore a lot Noel. He might seem scary but in all honestly he is a nice man, he even had a girlfriend- a lady he stays with- Leah. She is Dr. Emar's daughter, who was once an experiment herself...I have my own theory however why Theo likes her so much." He said with a smile and a small laugh to himself since he figured since Leah had the Alpha gene- Theo bent to her wishes, and Theo was alpha so it kinda went hand in hand to him. ~~~ At the news that he was actually okay with that idea, she nodded. "I will then be more willing to help them should they asked, or seem lost in finding what they need to be finding." She stated before her eyes went to the food. She went for the cold mints first- eating a bowl in less then a minute- but not in a sloppy manner, just quickly seeming to focus on it really. After the seven bowls of ice cream she went to the meat- which she proceeded to eat just as quickly and was working on the bone when Alex finished his own food. She knew she wasn't the most civilized of all eating creatures but did she enjoy her food- absolutely.

Noel listened intently to Parker's point on why he liked Theo and trusted him. It made sense after he spoke why he was close to him. Seems Theo really wanted to protect his flock. It was a nice sentiment, though she felt bad that Parker seemed very guilty about what happened to Theo's wings. She placed a hand on his knee, since it was the closest thing to her and she was trying to be comforting. "I'm sorry that happened." She said since she was sure it was hard on him to think that he could have lost his family. She didn't have one in the beginning, but now that she had Parker she didn't want to be on her own again. "I will be kind to Theo. I promise." She said to reassure him that she meant no harm by these talks. She was genuinely just curious about the status of things. However, the new that Theo had someone that could actually get close to him with that alpha air he let off made her blink in shock. It was also Emar's daughter? That had to be...strange. "A lady named Leah. I haven't heard of her. I suppose it's formidable if it's around Theo all the time and I'm sure Theo is being protective of it. Emar never spoke of a daughter." She said before she gave a tilt of her head. "And you speak of this Mara girl a lot. Why isn't she here?" She asked then since she figured that this Leah would surface eventually so she could size her up and see if she liked her. ~~~ Mara's rather quick eating made him smile to himself as he at, since it was rather funny to see this petite woman enjoy food the way she did. Especially since her tastes were much like a child's, very picky. When he finished his salad, he recieved the check, even if he was finding it funny to watch Mara's interest in the food. "So did it meet your satisfaction? Or is this a place to avoid?" He asked as he paid since he was ready to get back to finish some more work before he could take a break so Mara could go to handle her brother.

The hand on his knee made him pay her a bit more attention since he hadn't been expecting her to show some sort of remorse or feeling similar to his own. He gave her a smile when she said she would be nice to Theo as well since the girl should be since he had been though a lot lately. The news that Emar never mentioned Leah didn't surprise him any since both him and Theo had an issue with sharing. The question of Mara's whereabouts was a good one however. "Maraline is Theo's older sister. She doesn't have wings any more but she once had metal ones, she still has a metal hand though. She isn't here right now- she is with a person as well-- she is different from the rest of us Noel. She can't make emotional attachments like we can. She likes to work so she got some one that she liked to work for." He stated since he wasn't a fan of Alex but the man did take care of Mara. ~~~ When Alex asked about the food she looked at him almost seriously. "The meat was a bit dry on the top most layer and in the center under cooked, it was over salted and it has a vague hint of...mint to this one...The cold mints were good too. I like this place- they can cook my kind of food." She stated being perfectly honest with Alex since she was a picky eater. She finally decided to stop playing with her food and grabbed the end of the bone and took a crunching bite out of it while the waiter was there to get the check, looking almost scared as she crunched away easily as if it were chips- not a large thick lamb bone.

The news that Mara also had a human she liked was a funny thought. It seemed these older experiments found contentment in other people. It was a nice thought for her that she even had the opportunity to have a normal life. She gave a small nod since she was curious then how this Mara was. If she wasn’t like them with emotion, then what was she like? Was she cold and hostile? Or just robotic? She blinked at the mention of metal wings and a metal hand, now feeling like she was curious about the metal bird. “Mara is a sister. Okay...I want to meet her if it’s safe.” She said since she was curious about here female experiments. She had only ever been around male experiments. ~~~ Alex was glad to hear she liked her meal, something that was funny since she was so picky. It was good to hear that she was willing to try things, even if she was terrifying the waiters. The bone crunch scared the waiter into nearly dropping the plate near her, but Alex was sure to tip the man extra to calm him. “Good. Then I’ll have to order it again. Now, let’s not terrify the wait staff, and head back. I need to get some paperwork done and you have free time to see your brother.” He said since she was hardly the type to be content with standing around while he filed away his business deals for the month.

Parker gave a nod to her request to meet Maraline if t were safe since that changed daily lately. But he wasn’t about to tell her that but would ask John and Theo perhaps. “Come on, let’s finish eating the. We can go outside and I’ll ask Sydney to come see us there. Don’t want you getting. Into things I. The house that gerald it Theo won’t like.” He almost teased the girl since she seemed curious even if the place reeked of Theo’s alpha gene and Gerald. ~~~ When he made the comment about not starting the wait staff she rose a brow, she didn’t do anything scary... did she? She let the thought pass as quickly as it came and stood with Alex. Insisting she escort him back to his office at the house before pulling out the phone Alex had given her, dialing John’s Number since she assumed Theo wasn’t going to answer his phone as he hadn’t been lately.

Noel gave him a pursed lip look before smirking at his comment about her getting into things. “Only because this place is huge. Besides I want to go out and talk with Sydney to see how she’s doing.” She said before consuming her breakfast at a quick but reasonable pace. Soon a made game in with a change of clothes that were sporty in nature, something Noel liked because it meant she could run in them. She opted out of the tennis shoes since she had always run around barefoot. She was vibrating with interest and excitement at getting to see the outside and actually touch grass or smell fresh, non filtered air without being in a crash. Sydney even agreed to meet them outside, something that made her more excited to have her two favorite people with her. ~~~ Emar heard his phone ringing as he sorted through images of the crash. He picked it up, though continued to look for clues in the reports. “Hello, this is Dr. Emar.” He said since the number was unfamiliar and he was hardly expecting Mara to call for any kind of chat.

Parker let her get dressed while he got ready himself, opting for a pair of black sweatpants and a t shirt since it was comfortable and he didn’t have plans for the day honestly. He gave a laugh at her however when she didn’t want shoes since it was reminiscent of Mara who hated shoes. They headed out relatively soon after getting dressed and he showed her the back yard first, the space to run in would probably excite her since it was all grass there. He glanced over his shoulder then he heard a noise of grass shuffling- finding Sydney looking better for how she was last night. ~~~ When the very formal answer came over the phone she frowned. “It’s Mara.” She stated before continuing quickly enough. “I am coming over to check on theodore. As well as Sydney. I wanted to inform you before I arrived in about-“ she paused a moment to look at her phone clock. “Ten minutes.” She Stated before hanging up the phone honestly since she was going to do as she liked on her time off. Alex said she could anyhow so she was willing to oblige herself for a change.

No well was excited to be outside, as was clear by the massive smile on her face. The minute her feet touch grass she stepped away from Parker who had been her safety blanket so far. She looked around the open space with curiosity that was amplified by the fact that this was the first time she had really been outside without being in danger. Now she could really take in the sights, The smells, the sounds and the feelings of the wide open space. She look back to Parker, her expression surprised. “ all the space belongs to Gerald? It’s massive all for one person.” She said before running out into the grass. She giggled and marveled at the way it felt under her feet and had trouble focusing on much else other than The scene around her. “ I could run this for days. I want to get a lap in to see how many steps I can get. “ She told Parker before starting a light run towards the property line. Before she got far, Sydney stepped out on the green behind Parker and gave the boy a small smile. “ I see you two are having good time. “ she said in a small joke that immediately caught Noel‘s attention. In a movement as quick as a blur, Noel ran towards Sydney but stop short of tackling her. Instead she gave the woman of soft hug like when you get a parent that you would miss dearly. “ Sydney thank goodness you’re OK. “ Noel said she clung to the older woman for support. Sydney gave Noel a Pat on the head with a smile. “ of course I’m OK. It would take more than a few shots take me out. “ she joked lightly before looking between the two . “ so how has the first day in the house been going? “ “ Great. Parker and I have been hanging out and I even got to stay in his room. Then we had breakfast and now we’re outside enjoying the fresh air. “ Cindy give a small spark at this before looking at Parker. “ so she woke you up early? I’m sorry wer didn’t tell you that she was early riser .” She said drawing a look from Noell that was slightly guilty. ~~~ Emar looked uncomfortable when Mara. Said she was coming to visit. They hadn’t really dealt with Noel yet in the idea Mara. They would havr to keep the two separate until they can gauge how they would react. When she hung up, he went to the living room where everyone was and gained their attention. “ Maia is coming over in 10 minutes. She wants to look into your status Theodore and Sydney’s.”

Parker shook his head when Sydney made a joke since it wa funny but he was working on his breathing excercises at the second she came out. “Yeah, she wakes up early but at least I got some sleep.” He commented since it was odd for him to be out this early after all. He didn’t fault the girl since she was up with lab hours. “Yes, we have been having fun, I have been explaining some things to Noel about Theo and Gerald and the rules here.” He stated since it was true. —————- Theodore looked up when John came in and said that Mara was on her way over shortly making him sigh. “ Great. We will have to keep her inside then if Noel is outside.” He stated since Mara had lately went after Parker and if she were with Parker- then she would be in the way as well. “Perhaps ask Sydney to come in soon? For a short bit- to keep Mara inside that is.” He stated easily but looked a little tired. Gerald glanced at him and frowned,” have you taken your medications yet Theodore?” He asked getting a nod from Theo. He looked the experiment over a bit more before looking at a Jolette who was relaxed and watching the TV. “ What’s the look for? Do I need to be armed for Maraline to come over to visit?” She asked almost in a catty way but it earned a frown from Both Theo and Gerald.
