Liam pecked at a piece of bacon, the first bit of well cooked meat he'd had in recent memory. The silence had made the meal uneasy. He frowned and tried to find a way to start a conversation, but with no real luck. He drank his glass of milk and finally did bring up
"So, has it been away since anyone else has arrived here?"

Liz looked up at Liam and she swallowed the piece of waffle she had in her mouth. She bit her lip and shrugged her shoulder, "Yes und no. Ve have had two new people in ze past veek, but before zat it vas a little over a month. In all ve have nine people who live here full time, including myself, excluding ze two newcomers. Ve have an old friend zat comes und goes as he pleases. Right now, everyvone, but myself is out on missions. Chaze here came by soon after everyone left, but he vill be leaving soon." She turned to Wolf and smiled softly at him. Once breakfast was over, she would take him back downstairs to get ready for his own mission.

"I see. Oh..." Liam frowned as he poked at his plate. He had heard different from the other transients. He had heard that the place was a sanctum, and had more permanent residents. Figures, he thought as he munched down on another stick of bacon.
"What does a mission usually involve? What do you all go out and do?"

Again, the teleporter shrugged, "Depends on ze mission. It can be anyzing from stopping a monster in New York to helping a new mutant find a safe place if zey do not vish to stay here. Not every mission requires all of us, und ve rarely leave ze mansion unmanned." She could see his uncertainty, "Ve never force anyvone to leave und ve offer sanctuary to anyone, mutant or human. Ze team I mentioned earlier is our version of ze X-men. Not everyone is required to try und join nor does everyone who tries to join vill be accepted. Ve have a real job to protect a vorld zat hates und fears us."

Liam sighed as he reflected on his own dealing with humans, and found that he had been able to successfully hide his mutation. Though his greying skin and blotches were enough to keep away the general populous. And the smell.
"Alright then. Well, I'll do what I can to help. If anything, I've found that I can pass on my gift to others via blood transfusion, so if nothing else, my blood can be of use"

(Chaze was lost in his own little world as Liam and Liz were talking. As he placed a bit of waffel in his maw, he kept replaying the fight with Whisp in his mind. How he would ever be able to best the mutant, he didn't know. But thinking about operations and missions, a name suddenly came to him and he snapped out of his own little world briefly and glanced at Liz, a fresh question burning in his head. He opened his mouth to ask, but then closed it. She might not know anyway, he thought and then looked over at Liam. He frowned at the thought and made a mental note to ask her later.)
Chaze: So what exactly is your mutation? If I can be so frank?

"Well, I doubt it would be something you'd want to see right after eating..." Liam commented, but that didn't stop him from drawing from his bag a 5-inch bladed knife. He set it on the table and drew out his napkin, placing his knife, blade up, on top of it, supporting it with his left hand. With his right hand, he placed his palm onto tip of the blade before slowly pushing it down, the blade poking up the other side of his hand. Once his palm rested on the hilt of the blade, he pulled the knife out and held up his hand. There was only a few drops of blood coming from the wound, and in seconds it had closed up.
Liam continued by taking a new knife, this one longer, and placing the blade pointed at his heart. Once again, he slowly pushed it down, and soon it was with the hilt to his chest. He moved in his chair so that it would show that the tip of the blade was pointing out of his back and towards Chaze now. He then pulled it out, wipped off any excess blood, and stowed his weapons.
"I hope that didn't startle anyone too badly. It's hard to explain in words"

Liz was about to reach forward when Liam put the blade through his heart, but then saw that it seemed to cause him no pain. She sat back and blinked at the young man, "I have never seen a mutation quite like yours. It seems to be a healing factor, but somehow, not quite. Does it vork vith anyzing ozer zan blades?"

"It works with all sorts of physical injuries, except for dismemberment, as far as I know" Liam could almost hear the question on how he knew that coming, so he added "If you look, I'm missing a toe on my left foot. However, as you could probably see" He motioned to his greyed skin "It has zero affect on infection and disease. Also, the power is involuntary. Meaning if I got shot, which has happened before, the wound would close up before I could fish out the bullet"

Liz bit her lip, "Truly fascinating. You may look sick, but I sense no illness. I believe it is a healing factor, but on a different level." She looked up at Liam and gave him a reassuring smile, "You are in a safe place. Ve vill take care of you."

Liam returned the smile as he moved his hair out of his face and pecked at a little more fruit before wipping off his face and leaning back in his chair.
"Good to know that some place is safe. We live in a troubled time..."

(Chaze eyed the newcomer with curious caution and said nothing as he displayed his extraordinary ability. But that last sentence made him scoff with sarcasm.)
Chaze: No offense man, but that's an understatement if I ever heard one. In any case, that's a pretty cool mutation. Could come in handy for Liz here too if you decide to join her team of heroes.

Now it was Liam's turn to snicker, as he added with a sly glance "Well, I can't say that news reaches the squaters very fast. Our reconnaissance is always slow on real news and more on where we can find to stay a night or two in"
He ate a bagel and added, now in a kinder tone "I would do anything I can to help. After being kind enough to offer a bath, food, and shelter, it would be rude of me to not do what I could to pay back the favor"

Liz laughed and shook her head, "I told you Liam; you never have to repay us. Zis mansion opened to give shelter to anyvone who needed it. Rest and recover und vhen you feel better, you vill be given ze option of joining my x-team or just staying at ze house as a resident."

Suddenly, a loud crack was heard upstairs and Liz bit her lower lip, "Zat doesn't sound gute. You boys stay here. I vill call if I need help." She stood, kissed Chaze on the top of his head and teleported out of the kitchen.
