Ty nodded, smiling as she wiped his tear and kissed his cheek. "I love you too. I just feel like an ass for what I did to you. But I still support you, even help you move what little bit you have in. I'd just thought you were interested in moving in with me, but hey, it's no big deal as long as you're living somewhere better than here." His eyes softened a little.

"I'll even come by to see ya whenever I can."

Butterfly smiled when he smiled at her. She was really glad that he wasn't upset about her moving into the Mansion anymore. "You're not an ass, Ty. I understand that you were scared and trying to protect me and Tses. Sure, I missed you, but at least you came back. And not cuz you were forced to, but because you loved us. And I had been meaning to tell you about the place I found, but I didn't get a chance to before you left. I just feel like I can relate there. The people that I met seem really nice and there are kids my age running around and having fun. What's Sanctuary like? I mean I"m sure I can come visit, but tell me what it's like since I never got to go there. And I'd love to have you come by and stay with me some. Just like I could come over and stay with you." Butterfly looked at him, smiled and hugged him again. "So what do ya wanna do, bro? We should go out and do something. Spend some quality time together. I missed getting to do that with you while you were gone."

Ty smiled slightly as she spoke. "Thanks. Sanctuary sounds almost like the place you're describing. It's a place for mutants with nowhere else to stay. Can't say I've met anyone from the mansion so I can't exactly compare. But the Sanctuary has these big, welcoming golden doors, and inside you find pretty much everything you could ask for. A rec room, food, your own room...It's pretty cool."

Ty found himself relaxing again. "Do? I don't know....Wait I have an idea. Did you ever check the bathroom? Some thieves had long since left some abandoned loot in there. I figure since it's just been lying back there forever, we could check it out? And since it's getting dark out there won't be much else I'd like to do, heh."

Butterfly listened as he talked about Sanctuary and smiled as he talked about it. It sounded really interesting. It seemed like a place she'd like to go and it would be nice for when she could visit her brother there. "That sounds really cool, Ty. How far away is Sanctuary?"

When he asked about if she had ever looked in the bathroom, Butterfly replied, "Nope. Never had a reason to when the bathroom doesn't work. Plus its cold in there. I try to stay where it's at least somewhat warm. What kinda loot did they leave behind?" she said, following her brother to the bathroom.

"It's a good little walk," Ty answered, "But you can't miss it."

Ty grinned at her next question, shrugging lightly. Only one way to find out." With that, he turned, opening the bathroom door and stepping inside. "Man...I shoulda gone through this before..."

Inside were a few flat-screen TV's, some radios, a few iPods, car radios, any electronic one could imagine. Whoever had used this for a lair had quite the stash.

Butterfly listened and said, "Well maybe you can show me where it's at sometime. That way I can come visit." And she giggled as she heard her brother say that there was only one way to find out about what's behind the bathroom door. When they opened the door and stepped inside, Butterfly gasped at what she saw. "I should have peeked behind this door a long time ago. I might not have any electricity, but I sure would have liked to listen to some music and one of those TVs will look good in my room at the mansion when I move it. There's enough in here for both of us to have stuff Ty. Let's just hope that don't plan on coming back here whenever they get out of prison. Maybe after we take all we want we should leave them a note telling them how much we appreciate them leaving all these gifts for us." Butterfly said as she began to check out the flat screens and the music collection on the ipods.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," Ty replied with a smile. "Oh, they shouldn't be coming back. Besides, if they do, we'll be long gone from here."

Ty chuckled at her joke as he rummaged through the electronics. "Man, these guys really knew their stuff. I'm almost jealous of their skills..." Ty murmured, digging through all of the goodies. He'd definitely have to come back here later, to stock his room at Sanctuary, and Tses's apartment.

Butterfly finally found an ipod that had sorta the same music interests as her. She unraveled the attached headphones and placed one in her ear, headbanging slightly as she listened. She laughed and chuckled with her brother as they joked. But as she heard Ty say that he was jealous of their skills, Butterfly looked at him with a confused face, "What do you mean by that? Are you a thief as well? Is that how you manage to have so much money?"

Ty froze when he realized she heard his mutterings. Oh well...it had to come out some time, right?

"Well...I've been known to acquire an income by....less than legal means, yeah. But I don't have alot of money, and as of a few days ago, I'm trying to reform. You know, get a decent job, try to be a good citizen...that sorta thing."

He sighed lightly, almost embarrassed. "Okay, so you know my secret...we still cool?"

Butterfly listened as Ty explained his past "income". She was sorta surprised when he revealed it all, but was willing to forgive him when he mentioned trying to reform.

When Ty asked if they were still cool, Butterfly replied with, "Yeah, we're good. I'm glad you're trying to do better. Besides, I understand that being a thief might have been all you could do when out on the streets. At least as a last resort to help you live. But you can't live forever like that. And I'm just gonna pretend that the money you've had before now was just found, and not actually stolen. I'll feel better that way." she smiled and ruffled Ty's hair to tease him and going back to looking at more of the loot.

"Actually, I did find it. I find all the money I get that way. In wallets." He stuck his tongue out, making mental notes of everything he found. "Most of this, we'll have to come back for, maybe divide evenly.

The young man let out a yawn, turning and plopping on the couch, eyes slowly closing. He was really happy things had turned out like they did. But he was too tired to go back to Tses's now. He'd just have to go back to her tomorrow.

Butterfly stuck her tongue back out at him as he joked. As he mentioned having to come back for the items, Butterfly nodded her head and then followed him back to the living room and watched as he plopped on the couch. Butterfly wasn't really sleepy, so she decided to turn on the TV and see if there was anything to keep her attention for a while before going to bed as well. She found a channel that was playing and old black and white movie. One of those romantic ones. Butterfly shrugged her shoulders and went and sat down on the couch with her brother. Seeing that he was already about to fall asleep, she snuggled against him and watched the movie. As she watched, she hoped that she would find someone like Ty had found Tses. "Hey Ty, do you think that I'll ever be able to find someone? Like you did with Tses? I'd really like to find someone I could settle down with. Someone I could really love."

Ty smiled softly, relaxing as she snuggled him and turned on some old movie.

"Sure you will. There's a nice guy out there with your name all over him. He may not be easy to find, but he'll be worth it. It won't always be smooth sailing, but not impossible." He spoke softly, his eyes drifting closed. Before he knew it, he'd drifted off into a deep sleep. Heck, after the time he'd had recently, he earned it.

Butterfly played with his hair some, like she used to and listened to what he said about a nice guy being out there with her name written all over him. She smiled and thought about it for a moment and then whispered, "A really nice girl would be great too." As she said this, she looked down as saw that Ty was asleep. She rested her head on the couch and watched the movie a bit more. Before long, she felt her eyes grow really heavy and she drifted off to sleep as well.
