Following the same order as before, Felicity was hurried into another flashy outfit and thrust back onto the runway. She hated this sort of show, the one where everyones stress level was sky high and there didn't seem to be any time to breath. The most relaxing part was walking down the runway. As her eyes scanned the crowd, she spotted Logan near the back. It took all of her expertice not to let any emotion show on her face. He was the most responsible of her and Dave, and yet here he was coming in late. Her lack of focus caused her to let the light out a little too fast, and she hoped it wasn't obvious to anyone else. Turning around a little more sharply then neccessary, she returned backstage. She had two more runs to go, and Logan had better have a good excuse by the end.

Logan gave his sister a tentative smile when he made eye contact with her. He recognized the slight in her eyes. Oh, boy. He thought as he noticed the small lapse in power when the light around her skin brightened far quicker than normal. He gulped, another sign that she was pissed, but he couldn't help but grin at her; she actually cared if he came on time. He suddenly hoped that she wouldn't use this as an excuse for him to buy her something. As he thought about money, his thoughts immediately went to his brother. Where is that loafer? He thought as he scanned the audience. He better not be flirting with one of the models...

Dave tried to continue his conversation with Kate, but she seemed to be in a hurry and uncomfortable.
"Hey, I guess I might see you around," she said, backing toward the door. Dave nodded.
"Yeah, let me know if you're still looking for work. I could try to find you a job. Let me get you my number." He looked down and reached into a pocket to get something to write on, then nearly jumped when he heard the door slam. Kate was gone, as if she had never been there at all. He was a little disappointed, but shrugged it off, hoping he hadn't scared her off. He glanced at his watch and decided he could still sneak in a see the rest of Felicity's show. Then he'd meet her in the back and get that money from her.
He slipped into the room and spotted Logan nearby. He sat in the seat next to him.
"Hey," he said, settling back into the seat with an easy smile, "How's Lissy looking?"

A small plop was heard and Logan glanced to his right. He smirked at Dave's nickname for her. Of course, he had his own: Fe. He grinned as he recalled when they use to tease her. Logan would yell "Fe!" and Dave would immediately yell "Lissy!" all over the place just to confuse their sister.
"She's doing all right. Gotta a little emotional though...I don't think anyone noticed." Logan said meaningfully, hoping that Dave got his meaning. "So, where have you been?" Logan asked, as he watched a red head model on the runway. "Not bugging Fe for money are you?" He raised a speculative eyebrow at his brother. "You know I want her to save." He crossed his arms and leaned back into his chair.

Ah a little slip! He smiled as he watched the light leak out a little faster wiping away all his doubts. Before it could have been paranoia but as he watched her leave the catwalk he was sure of his guess. Looking around he wondered if he could get up and get to her quickly. The sea of photographers and people stopped him quickly and had Jimm sitting back in his seat with his fingers bridged before hie eyes. He would just have to wait.

Dave's eyebrows knit together when Logan mentioned Felicity had gotten emotional. Meaning she had leaked a bit more than normal. Which meant someone might have noticed. Which could mean trouble. But if no one noticed, then there was no reason to worry.
"She needs to watch that," he mutters. He cleared his throat a little when Logan mentioned borrowing money.
"I may have asked her for a little," he admitted. "But, hey, before you chew my head off and digest it slowly, let me tell you why. I got a job on Broadway."

Last outfit donned, Felicity took her last lap on the runway. She noticed that Dave had joined Logan near the back, the two of them talking and hardly paying attention. Keeping her cool, she flaunted the long trenchcoat at the end of the runway, flicking it back as she released a little more light. She hardly noticed the photographers crowding around the platform, snapping pictures, or the frustration of the man seated not far away. Turning back around, she strode away, dissapearing backstage. Thank God this show was over. Usually she had fun doing her job, but this time it had actually seemed like work. Sighing, she quickly disrobed behind the privacy screen, switching the new designer line for a more casual look. Normally, she also stuck around after the show to meet the designers, but again, she just didn't feel like it. "See ya, Hank." she said, passing her agent by the door.
"Good job out there Monroe. And don't be late tomorrow!" Waving a hand, Felicity slipped out the changing bustling changing room. Since she was supposed to meet Dave there, and probably Logan, she leaned against the wall to wait, closing her eyes.

Logan nodded as he watched Fe come back on the runway, however, the mention of Dave working on Broadway made him turn away. "What? Wait? You're going to be on Broadway." Logan looked skeptical. "Can you even sing?" He looked really confused, and then it dawned on him. "You asked her to pay for your singing lessons, didn't you?!" His jaw clenched, and his focus was all on his brother and he didn't notice Felicity's departure from the walkway. "Those are her savings! If you needed money, you could have come to me." He hissed and then noticed that everyone was clapping. "Crap." Logan shot his eyes up to the stage and noticed that the designer was thanking everyone. "Now, she's gonna be pissed." He said as he got up. "We'll talk about this later." He told David as he gestured for them to go backstage to meet their sister.

Noticing the powered girl was going on her last lap of the walk jimm got up and ignored all the people crowding up to the front. If they pushed into him he pushed back and just kept moving forward. No girl ever looked that way and traveled alone and he knew he;d only have a few moments if that was true. Gotta work on a cover story. Frowning he continued to push forward until he broke away from the people and stopped for a second. Smiling he smoothed his silk black colored shirt and deep blue tie.
Heading through the backway he looked around trying to find his way through the designers and models. Not for the first time he wished he had the power to locate others. Grumbling to himself he continued forward ubntil he bropke from the cnaging room and saw his target leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. Walking till he was a few feet apart he cleared his throat to get her attention. " Excuse me miss, but I haave to say you did a wonderful job out there. I mean you were almost glowing."

OOC: I'm just gonna imply that Dave is with Logan since Jeriah is gone, that way, she won't find her character all alone. lol.
Heading backstage, Logan moved along through the mass of models and photographers. Stopping to shake a few people's hands as they all recognize him and Dave as Felicity's brothers. Knowing that Fe would be angry with him, he spotted one of the fans with a bouquet of assorted flowers. "Oh, hey, thanks." Logan grabbed it, leaving the fan confused. He smirked, normally that was something Dave would do, but he figured he could have a pass this once. He glanced over to see Dave's reaction.
Finally, Logan was able to escape the mass and spotted his sister in the usual spot after shows. He noticed a man talking to her and immediately grew defensive, especially when her heard his glowing comment as he drew near. "Fe! There you are! Sorry I'm late. These are for you!" He presented the flowers and then glanced at the man. "And who is this?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Opening her eyes, Felicity eyed the man who had spoken to her. He was dressed nicely, but she didn't recognize him as a designer. He must have been a fan, following her out. However, his comment sent a little suspicious chill down her spine. The way he had emphasized glowing, it was as if he knew her ability... Thankfully, before she had to come up with something to say, Logan and Dave appeared. Spotting the flowers, she had to smile despite her previous anger.
"Hey guys. Um, I'm not sure who this is." Felicity said, eyeing the strange man. "So, who are you?" she asked, trying to be polite even though the guy was creeping her out.

Jimm spun sharply as he heard the person talking behind him. He gave a bright smile to the two males guessing they were either close friends or some type of family. They seemed to handle thesmelves well but with only the power to manipulate his bones he couldn't see anything dangerous about them. No powers but the dark haired one seemed a little assure of himself. Not knowing what to think he just backed a step away and had his body trying to fac everyone of them.
Fiddling with his tie he gave a slight bow of his head to everyone of them. "Sorry, the names Jimm with two M's. I kind of forgot my manners."

Logan gave a polite smile, but his eyes were calculative and asserting. "Well, Jimm, its nice to meet you. I'm sorry to cut your meeting, but we have to go. Dinner reservations and all." He smiled with the same polite voice, but his meaning was quite clear.
"Shall we?" He turned to Felicity, not wanting to give out his sister's name to random guy. He couldn't help but get a very dangerous vibe from this fellow, and the last thing he wanted was to get his sister in a dangerous position.

OOC: The admins are free to god-mod me if necessary--I think you two should have my style pretty much down by now--and everyone else can move my characters if needed.
Dave was almost glad that Felicity's show was over, although during Logan's outburst he missed her final run. He shrugged when his brother mentioned borrowing money from him instead of their sister.
"Yeah, but I know she would give me the money, and she'll probably get it back in some way from you, so it all pans out," he said as they walked back to the changing room. He was immediately on his guard when he saw a stranger talking to Felicity, his big brother senses rising. This Jimm with two m's seemed to be prying into their affairs a little too much.
"Yeah, we gotta go. Laters, Jimm double M," he said, jerking his head to indicate to his siblings that they should get out of there.

Immensly glad for an excuse to get away from the guy, Felicity moved closer to her brothers. Although, they were being so overprotective, it was tempting to just stay around and chat with the Mr. double M. But, his emphasis on the word glowing still had her on edge, so she decided rebelling. Still, Felicity really didn't like being rude to a fan. Giving Jimm a smile, she said, "Thanks again. I'm glad you enjoyed the show." before turning to leave with Logan and Dave.

Escorting Felicity out of the building, Logan was still on edge with the man. His reporter instincts told him that that man was no ordinary fan. Trying to ignore it, as it was his little sister's night, after all, Logan tried to brighten the atmosphere. "That was a good show, Fe. I'm sure you worked up an appetite, so, my treat, where'd you want to go?" He asked her, "And of course, a celebration is to be had. Dave has a job on Broadway." He tried not to make his voice sound accusing towards Fe for allowing her brother to take money from her. He glanced at Dave, remembering their previous conversation. Well, he would have to save it tell later and when they were all in a more secluded area. Family business was family business.

Felicity hardly heard Logan talking. She was absorbed in replaying her brief meeting with Jimm. The way he had said that word... "I think Jimm knows about my ability." she said abruptly, looking at Dave and Logan. "He emphasized the word glowing." Her eyes narrowed at Logan. "He must have seen my slip."

Logan immediately frowned and stopped walking. "You sure?" His brotherly overprotective instincts were back on. He glanced back over to the Fashion Show. "You sure he wasn't just saying you had a glow about you?" He pressed, feeling guilty for having come to the show late. If he hadn't done that then Felicity wouldn't have lost control of her emotions. He could tell by her expression that she probably thought the same. "Dammit." He cursed uncharacteristically; he usually kept his cool. Flipping out his phone he dialed a number. "I'll call one of my sources, maybe he can find out who this Jimm with two M's is. He could mean trouble."

"I'm pretty sure." Felicity said, shoving her hands in her pockets. The comment in itself wasn't unusual. Many fans always complimented her on her 'radiant glow'. But this time it had been different. There was hidden message she felt was being conveyed in that one word. Her eyebrows lifted in shock when Logan swore. "Are you sure calling someone is a good idea? This guy your calling is going to want to know why you want the dirt on Double M. And what are going to tell him, that he knows my sister is walking light-show." She shook her head, dubious.

"Yes, I'm sure, Fe!" Logan said as he brought the phone to his ear. "We know nothing about this guy or his intentions, so forgive me, if I want to protect my little sister." He retaliated, "I could just say that my little sister has an obsessive stalker." He said as the other line picked up. "Hey, Greg, its Logan. I need to cash in on my favor. I want to know everything you can get your hands on, on a guy name Jimm. That's two M's." He paused as Greg said something. "No, I don't have a last name, but his name should be on the Fashion Show registry that happened tonight."
Logan glanced away from Fe, knowing that she was probably mad at him now. That was fine with him, he rather have his sister fuming mad at him than not breathing. "yeah, that's the show. Just get me all you can, all right? Thanks. I'll talk to you soon." He hung up and glanced back at Felicity and Dave.
