I road for thirty minutes before I landed at a small abandoned house. I clicked on a bottom on the Me Board and it turned into a cube mid air. I fell from the sky a few feet up and picked up the Me Cube from the ground. I walked into the house.

"Mars! You looked like you've been to war and back!" Felicity cried.

"You're not far from it." I told her.

"Please tell me that's not all your blood." Felicity said.

"It's not. I promise." I said. She started fussing over me. I pushed her away. "I'm fine, I'll take a shower, get some clean clothes, and then I'll tell you lot what happened." I told her. Her face still seemed a little pale. "I'm ok, k?" I told her quietly.

She shook her head.

"I'll be back fast." I told her.

She shook her head again.

"I'll get bandages." She told me, before rushing off. I walked into the small bathroom we had.

I really did look like I had been back from battle. My hair stuck in one direction, covering my usual brown hair in red goo. My tanned skin had layers of blood all over them. I couldn't tell which was my blood and which wasn't. I took a shower and winced when I ran my hands over cuts. I had a few large ones, that I was sure were going to leave scars. I had scars all over my body, everyone here did. Each mark had their own story.

I closed my eyes and tried to hurry up a bit. I had eight people outside waiting on me. We were all Space Kids, kids that were supposed to be sent into Space. After they lost Neptune and her crew they didn't sent anyone else. We as a group of nine ran away and decided we would get back at them one day.

Here we are today.

I took some clean clothes from a shelve in the bathroom that someone had left for me and slipped them on. I pulled on the blue muscle shirt and shorts. I knew exactly why I needed to were these clothes. So everyone could see all the marks on my skin and I wouldn't get away without bandaging them up. I took the dirty clothes and put them in a bag that we put all our dirty clothes. I took the notebook from my jacket and went outside.

"I have good news for ones." I told them all as I walked into the room.

"Oh thank goodness he didn't loose an arm." Piper said.

"Hey I'm fine geez. It wasn't that bad." I said looking more at Felicity. Felicity raised an eyebrow.

"That's why it looked like you walked onto a battle field and barely lived." Felicity said.

"Where'j get all those cuts from, only blades make those cuts." Nate said. Everyone looked at my legs and say the blood bath that they were.

"Sit." Felicity said.

"But-"

Felicity raised an eyebrow. I sat down next to her. She pull my legs in her lap and started putting ointment on them. I clenched on my teeth until the sting went away for each cut. She wrapped them all up. She went through all the smaller cuts on my arms too.

"Do you have any cuts on your stomach?" She asked me. I glared at her. She knew why I never went around shirtless, or always made sure my stomach was covered.

"No." I growled. She was the only one that knew and it would stay that way. There were cuts on my stomach and we both knew it.

"K." She said softly.

"What'ja get Mars?" Twelve year old Nate asked.

"A notebook." I told them.

They all inched foreword.

"I haven't opened it yet though." I added.

No one said anything. I looked around and counted eight people, even me included.

"Where's Dally?" I asked. Nate groaned.

"We can't open it up if Dally out workin." Nate said.

"Nah, he'd wait for us, we'll wait for him too." Thirteen year old Newt said.

No one really knew where Dally worked or what he did. But I mean, he isn't in jail and he gets money, so I guess it's a reasonable job.

"Well, we have a few hours." Felicity said. "Jay and Erika you go start on something to eat." Jay growled at his chore but took eleven year old Erika with him to the kitchen.

"Newt and Nate, go to the weapon area and make sure everything is clean and working." Felicity said. They both grinned at their job and hurried out of the room.

"Holden and Piper, you start on the laundry." Felicity said. Fifteen year old Holden started complaining as short fourteen year old Piper dragged him out of the room.

"And that's it." Felicity said.

"What about me?" I asked.

"You're going to your room so I can see what you did to your chest and then you're sleeping." Felicity told me. I was speechless.

"You can't tell me what to do!" I insisted. "I'm older!"

"Actually all of our birthdays are marked on January 1st, and we're both fifteen." Felicity said. I was speechless again. "Come on, let's go." She said. I stood up, took the notebook and went to my room, Felicity following behind.

This chapter was longer than the other ones, so we want to hit at least 500 words per chapter, but in cases like this one we might go way over.

So you met the crew this chapter, well other than Dally, but what'ja think of them? As Nate would say.
