I12DT - The Great Booze Heist

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

"And when you were our age did you find it acceptable for your elders to be rude and make fun of you?" Emily asks.

Sid bounces right back into a wall, though she seems to shake it off quite well.

"Oh yeah? It's dark. I could be anybody." she boasts, knowing full well that she's busted, but figures what's the worst that can happen at this point.

"Let me put you straight here, kiddo. You can either come with me and face the headmistress, or I can drag you down to the county lockup. Mutants get treated REAL well by provincial police, I'm told," Will frowned.

"Like they'd know I'm a mutant." she mutters. But to her credit she's not trying to run away anymore, so she's clearly not entirely idiotic. Just very resistant to admitting she got caught.

"Please do not take Sidney in," Emily begs Nick softly. "She is kind and does not deserve to be sold."

"How very comforting," Emily says.

Apparently Onyx Jr. was a bit of a sarcastic little snot.

Emily looks at the sidewalk, "...I am Emily Thorne. I am a normal teenage girl."

"I was not grown from cell samples of a mutant slave, if that is what you are trying to imply."

"Yes. It would be impossible," Emily agrees. "The much better explanation is that I am a wealthy heiress with a dark past. And Sidney is my friend."

"She drinks people. I do not know what that means," Emily admits.

Nick heard Sara and his mental gears clicked into place.

"She's a former slave from Madripoor. She can turn herself entirely into Darkforce, the same stuff you're made of right now." she says, holding up her scanner again to get a read on her.

There were some physiological differences, both in physical structure and genetics, but Emily was definitely related to Onyx somehow.

"Former slave?" Emily asks, obviously struggling with the concept.
