A fresh start?

"If he wants us to..."

Jacen gave a small smile, looking up at him. "Thank you."

Aiden nodded. "I guess so."

"Should I go get ready?" Alex asked softly.

"No problem." Frankie replied softly, smiling a little.

Peter sighed, "How could they not want him though..."

Artemis nodded. "Just incase."

Jacen glanced down at the tie before looking back in the mirror, biting his lip.

Aiden sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

Alex nodded and quickly went to get changed.

Frankie carefully leaned his head on Jacen's.

Artemis stood there for a moment before following.

Jacen smiled and wrapped an arm around Frankie's neck.

Alex took off his shirt as he started to get his things together.

Frankie hugged him tightly.

Artemis smirked before turning to change into his usual work clothes.

Jacen leaned against Frankie, clinging to him. "...should we tell the others?"

Alex finished changing and made sure he had his weapons.

Frankie sighed, "Not until we know if this is true."

Artemis grabbed his before sitting on the edge of their bed.

Jacen nodded, stepping back. "I guess we should still bring them though...maybe have them wait outside the room?"

Alex smiled before going over to sit next to him.

Frankie nodded, "Should we bring Jesse?"

"Why would he not tell us what it's about?" Artemis thought out loud.

Jacen shook his head. "Probably better to wait..."

"I don't know..." Alex said with a soft shy.

Frankie nodded before pulling on his jacket.

"As long as he's not being stupid again I guess it's fine..." Artemis sighed.

Jacen brushed his hair before turning to watch Frankie.

Alex nodded slowly, "I suppose your right."

Frankie looked nervous, "Ready to go?"

"I usually am." Artemis said jokingly before finishing getting ready.

Jacen nodded. "I think so."

Alex laughed softly before kissing his cheek, he was sat down as he waited.

Frankie nodded and pulled Jacen close.

Artemis smiled at him then finished getting ready, pulling his boots on and grabbing his knife and gun.

Jacen leaned against him, relaxing a little.

Alex smiled and waited by the door.

Frankie smiled softly. "We should get going."

Artemis went over to Alex, kissing his cheek.

Jacen slowly nodded. "Right." He said. "Can you get Arty and Alex? ...I'm going to tell Jesse we'll be gone for a bit."

Alex smiled happy and took his hand.

Frankie nodded, "Of course." He started for Alex and Artemis's room.

Artemis smiled, leading him out of the room before pausing when he saw Frankie.

Jacen headed to Jesse's room to speak with him.

"Hey guy, we're almost ready to go, Jacen just went to talk to Jesse." Frankie waved as he said this.

"Oh, alright." Artemis nodded.

Just after, Jesse came running down the hallway from his room, Jacen following after him, though he stuck to walking.
Hurrying over, Jesse threw his arms around Frankie, hugging him.

Alex nodded as well.

Frankie smiled softly and hugged Jesse tightly, "Hey."

"Papa said you were going somewhere, so I wanted to come see you first." Jesse said, smiling at him.
