Jammin' [OPEN]

[Jennifer Younge]

Jenni beamed at Fifi when she called her her little sister. Jenni already felt like she was, and she was glad to hear Fifi felt the same. She watched as Fifi flourished her arms, and decided that being intoxicated might not be so bad. After all, if it left you feeling that happy and free, what harm could it do?

Jenni wanted to make sure Fifi was proud of her, and determined to make it so. She was going to learn the fastest she ever had done in her life. Jenni was a sucker for any kind of affection, and she would willingly do anything for the older girl. In all effect... Fifi had created herself a little lapdog, and Jenni was none the wiser.

The fact that Fife had so readily accepted, complimented, and promised to introduce Jenni to new people, only made the innocent look up to her all the more. Jenni wanted to meet new people, and make new friends, she just wasn't very good at it. But maybe with Fifi there to hold her hand, she would find the situation all the more easier. Not only that, but with the tantalizing promise of help with her powers, Jenni was ready to try and make friends with wild tiger if it made everything easier for her bear.

"I guess she nev..." Jenni frowned, and then tapped herself on the forehead. "I completely forgot, Mom got me a phone, the day I came here. She pushed it into my hand while begging me not to leave her." Jenni fell silent as the memory took over her. It hit her strong a fast, and Jenni reacted by sending the imaged out of her head. Not realizing she was doing this, there was no guidance and it headed straight for the nearest person, which would be Fifi.

The day she left home, would forever haunt Jenni. To see someone she had always looked to for strength and stability, break down completely was horrifying. It was wasn't the way her mother had looked, blotchy skin, bloodshot eyes, and tears streaming unchecked, nor was it the way she clung to Jenni, trying to pull her back into the house. No, neither of those were what Jenni would remember until her dieing day. It was the words she heard. 'Jenni, Jenni, no, don't go. Look, I'm sorry, OK? I lied, It was my fault, all my fault. Your dad, my fault. Your friends, my fault. Everything, my fault..." It had continued for some fashion, and the words were burnt into Jenni memory. Simply because she believed it was her fault. Jenni though she had lost her friends, her family, because she was so bad at being a good little daughter.

"Anyway," Jenni said, her mind her own again "I hid the phone because she kept calling me, I can't talk to her all the time, ts makes me wish she wasn't my mother." Jenni clapped a hand over her mouth, astounded by the admission. Jenni hadn't even admitted that to herself, and yet she found it to be true. Her mother stopped being her Mom after her Dad left. Still Jenni felt incredibly traitorous by the words she had uttered.

[Fifi Hart]

If Fifi could read minds, it would have been impossible to keep the devilish grin off of her face. Jenni was playing into every trick Fifi was playing on her. Sure, she had no hard feelings for the younger girl, but she certainly didn’t feel the measure of affection that she appeared to feel for her. More disturbing than the fact that Jenni was willing to trust someone like FIfi was the fact that Fifi was willing the twist the emotions of a very impressionable young girl.

Fifi had always wanted a puppy.

Fifi blinked and laughed a bit. “Wow, what a crazy.” She said shaking her head. This was why humans needed some serious eradicating. Fifi went a little rigid when she suddenly remember things that she didn’t remember remembering. There was a woman. There was lots of crying. And Fifi was overcome with an intense sense of guilt before she suddenly was overwhelmed with disgust. That was Jenni’s mother. Though Fifi eventually became aware that Jenni was projecting, she couldn’t keep the scowl off of her youthful face.

Jenni’s mother was such a pathetic excuse for life. Fifi was overwhelmed with a serious urge to Gabe to make an example of her. She filed it away in her brain to bring up later. She couldn’t see why Gabriel wouldn’t be up for it anyway.

Fifi’s grin immediately turned into a smile and a bright laugh when Jenni admitted she didn’t even want her mother. “Kiddo, no one really wants their mother…Its totes normal. I don’t like mine either. She rags on my Dad and tries to go against his decisions and it bugs the shit out of me.” She complained, huffing a bit. Quickly though, she sat up and draped an arm over Jenni’s shoulders. “But y’know. She doesn’t have to be your mom. She’ll always be the one who gave birth to you, but you can find a new family.” She gestured around the room. “Right here at Hammel. Meta-humans are your family now, Jenni-bear.” Fifi explained, leaning back a bit and releasing Jenni from her insidious hold.

She yawned a bit, pursing her lips in thought. “What do you say we go out in the next couple of days and get you a new phone?” She suggested. “I’ll ask Daddy to put you on our family plan, so your mother doesn’t have to know.” Fifi said, beaming down at Jenni. “That way you can talk to your friends without her stalking you.”

[Jennifer Younge]

Jenni's mood turned for the worse. Sure she disliked her mother, but enough to forget her? Enough to shut her out of her life? It seemed at bit extreme to Jenni, But Fifi had told her she had a new family now. The problem was, Jenni wasn't getting much familial vibes from the other students. But then she was new, and hadn't really met that many of them. The truth was, that this was all moving a little fast for Jenni. She loved her Mom, despite how hard it was, and she still held onto a childish hope that maybe she would change and everything would be alright.

Some part of Jenni, the adult part of her, however, knew this wouldn't happen. Her mother was too set in her ways, too damaged to get better so to speak. Jenni wasn't sure she would be able to forgive herself if she abandoned her mother, but at the same time, isn't that what Mrs Younge had done to her only daughter? To everyone? Jenni sighed softly, trying hard to figure out the predicament she had so suddenly found herself in.

She looked up at Fifi, and smiled a small smile. She wished she could be as strong as the older girl, but she was older then Jenni, by a few years. She knew more. Did that mean she knew better. Before she could stop herself, Jenni was nodding. As soon as she realized this, she stopped, but it was too late to take back the action, and she somehow knew that. Was she doing the right thing? She thought of the phone hidden away upstairs, and pacified herself with the thought she could keep hold of it. Talk to her mother at least.

"Okay," One word, and Jenni was sold. Sold into being a new recruit for the M.S.A.D, and Fifi's lapdog for a few promises and reassuring words. If Jenni had any idea what she had just done, she would probably... well, she wouldn't do anything, but she'd seriously hate herself for a long time. Fortunately for her (or maybe unfortunately) she was involved in a careful game of deceit and subterfuge. Maybe it was better that she wasn't aware of it. Safer for her.

"That would be nice." Jenni said, thinking of the amount of times he mother called, will your Daddy really pay for it though?"[/b] she asked, not wanting to believe it, but wanting it to be true. If Fifi's dad was as nice as Fifi, Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea for Jenni to get involved with them. Maybe she would find that family Fifi was talking about.

[Fifi Hart]

One word was all it took. It didn’t take much to sell your soul really. Fifi was pretty sure once upon a time that she’d heard a religious nut say that just thinking about it was enough. She was pretty sure that if she could hear just how much Jenni had been thinking about it, Fifi would have carted her off to Gabe a long time ago! And if the brunette teen had anything to say about it, Jenni wouldn’t know what she had just done until she was in way too deep and it was way too late. It might be safer for Jenni that way. It would ensure none of the other M.S.A.D recruits would do anything to hrut her if she defected.

Fifi chuckled and waved her hand. “Daddy pays for everything sweet pea. I’m sure when we talk to him he’d be delighted to know I’m actually making friends, and not just lying about it.” She joked, clearing her throat a bit. “He’s the one who introduced me to Mister Underwood and the others.” Fifi added, tilting her head a bit. She contemplated throwing out another lie or two, but decided against it. Jenni was convinced. Fifi had done her job.

“You’re welcome over for dinner too, if you like.” She offered. “My parents don’t live far. Sometimes I go back on the weekends just to catch some home-cooked food.” Fifi said with a bit of a giggle. Really she didn’t go home that often, and it certainly wasn’t for food. It was to check in with Daddy, and maybe receive a present.

Spoiled? Yes.

[woo~short. Sorry dear.]

[Jennifer Younge]

Jenni smiled a small smile. Something was bothering her a little, but she wasn't sure what it was. Maybe it was just a left over feeling from before, from trying to decide what to do. Normally, Jenni would be happy that she had made a decision, she very rarely worried about something when her mind was made up. So she decided to do the same now. She pushed the feeling to the back of her mind, and smiled at Fifi.

"So, when would I be able to meet... the others?" Jenni asked, quietly. She didn't want to rush Fifi, but she was eager to learn, and wanted to get control over her powers as soon as possible. Not only that, but she wanted to feel included, she wanted to feel like she belonged, and maybe, the best way to get that feeling would be to meet these people Fifi obviously liked so much.

"Really?" Jenni asked, "I'd love to meet your Daddy." Jenni's thoughts turned to her own father, and she wondered if he knew that she was a meta-human. She's like to think that her mother had told him, but something told her she wouldn't have. Besides, she felt she should meet the man that Fifi had claimed would pay for her new phone.

Jenni glanced at the clock and was startled to see that nearly an hour had passed. It was nearly lunch time, and Jenni still hadn't finished her homework. She had classes after lunch too.

(Also short, sorry.)

[Fifi Hart]

Fifi shrugged. “I don’t know when everybody is going to be in town. Lots of my friends work outside of Vermont.” She explained, tapping her lips with her finger. “Mmm. But I could talk to Gabe about bringing you by his house this weekend. You’ll meet most of them there.” She offered, looking sidelong at Jenni, whose very being screamed for attention. Poor thing.

Sitting up suddenly, Fifi sighed wistfully. “Daddy is great. You’ll love him.” Beaming, she rubbed her hands together rapidly. “I’ll see if I can get him to come down to have dinner with us. He does some business with Gabe.” Nodding slowly, Fifi began plotting how to get several people in the house, but somehow leave the less likeable people (namely Jesse) out of the picture. She wanted Jenni to feel safe and welcome. If only to ensure that she’d be faithful.

She caught Jenni’s glance to the clock and groaned loudly. “Aw God~. I have class soon, Kiddo.” Fifi whined, scrounging around for a pen. She reached forward and seized one off of the coffee table, careful not to use her power (however tempting it was) when she reached for Jenni’s arm. She scribbled her phone number over Jenni’s wrist, then slapped the pen in the girls palm. “Call me if you ever need anything, got it?” She said with surprising sweetness, grinning broadly. “I’ll come get you, no matter what.”

Fake promises were Fifi’s specialty. Usually she ensured her victims wouldn’t remember them, but in this case Fifi was willing to keep up the façade as long as was necessary.

[Jennifer Younge]

Jenni nodded in response to Fifi's offer. She didn't understand why this man Gabe couldn't come to the school and meet her, but she didn't want to sound ungrateful. It would be nice to be able to find a little niche to fit into at this new school. Jenni just hoped they all liked her as much as Fifi seemed to. She need friends around her, especially now she was going through such a big change in her life.

Promising to try and get her father to come here to have dinner, made Jenni relax a little more. So she couldn't meet everyone here at the school, but hey, half is better then none right? She smiled softly i response, seriously hoping that she would like her father, and that her father would think she was likable too. It would make things easier all round. Besides, the man was (hopefully) getting her a new phone.

Startled by the abrupt change in Fifi, who was previously so relaxed, and now rushing to find a pen, Jenni stilled as the older girl reached for her arm. She watched the number appear, and then closed her hand around the used pen. She smiled at Fifi and nodded. "I will do." she promised, wondering if she were to use the phone she had now, or wait until she had a new one.
