Butterfly started helping her brother move her stuff outside and into the trunk of the taxi. When everything was in the taxi and Ty asked her if that was everything, Butterfly replied, "Yeah, that's all of it."

Butterfly then walked to the side of the taxi, opened the door, got in and waited for her brother to get in as well. As she waited, she gave the taxi driver the directions to the Mansion. Hopefully having Ty with her to move and explore the Mansion would be enough to take his mind off of Tses for a bit. She hated seeing her brother so upset and heartbroken.

Butterfly smiled as Tses took the book back. When Tses said that she would only read that sentence, Butterfly said, "It's okay. All I ask you to do is try. Trust me. It'll get better the more you do it. You just gotta work at it."

As Tses read the remainder of the sentence, Butterfly smiled at how well Tses was doing. She really was doing well for someone who couldn't read very well. When Tses finished the sentence and handed the book back to her, Butterfly smiled and said with a slight giggle, "My turn already? I thought you were gonna read some more since you were doin so well." She took the book and peered down at the page and began to read again, looking over at Tses every now and then. "There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge."

When she finished the passage, she turned to Tses and asked, "Do you wanna read anymore?

Butterfly frowned a little as she heard Paige say that she hated it here. She replied with, "I understand. I hope that it gets better for you."

As Butterfly watched Paige take her guitar back out and begin to play, Butterfly closed her eyes and began to get lost amongst the notes flowing from her guitar strings. She began to relax and get more lost in the music. She started to shift and she didn't even notice. Though as she completed her shift, Butterfly lost her balance on the arm rest of the couch and ended up landing in Paige's lap. She giggled slightly and blushed as she looked up at Paige with a smile and said, "Oops!"

Butterfly replied with a giggle, "Its okay. I'm sure that being exposed to nudity upon a first time meeting would not be something either of us would want, even if we are both girls."

As Butterfly listened to her talk about being from California and missing it and working in a coffee shop, Butterfly said "Awwwww. I'm sorry, Paige. I know it may seem rough to start with, but I hope that maybe you'll come to like New York like I have. To be honest, I'm glad I'm away from Georgia. At least here, I have a brother and a few friends who care and love me. I didn't have any of that back home. And who knows, maybe I can come visit you in the coffee shop and keep you company sometime. Brighten your day even.", blushing slightly at this last part.

When they finally got to Paige's apartment, Butterfly realized that she lived in the same building as Tses and as Paige walked into the room and told her to make herself at home, Butterfly smiled and fluttered over to arm rest and landed there saying "Thank you. Do you like living here so far? This is a lot nicer that where I was living when I first got to New York."

Butterfly listened as Kealey spoke. When she finished, Butterfly then turned her attention to Talon and began to speak, "Honestly, I've only been in New York now for a few months. And when I first came here, I had a rough time. I slept on a park bench for my first night, but then I came to find out I had a brother I never knew I had and he helped me out and let me stay in an old apartment building. It was condemned, but it was out of the cold. And we came to be really close. Originally I came from Macon, Ga and never really had anyone. I was always alone. My mom worked all the time and then also wanted a social life so she was never home. I used to get bullied a lot when I was younger and never really understood or noticed my mutation until the night I came to New York. My mom left me and that night my apartment got broken into. I got scared and somehow shifted and flew til I got to a train station in Atlanta and then came here, with nothing more than the clothes on my back and a little bit of cash that I had managed to save up. Since being here, I've meant some really interesting people, even if I did manage to meet almost all of them when I got lost in the city. Everything hasn't always been rainbows and sunshine though. My brother was missing for a few weeks and I was an emotional wreck. I had no idea what happened to him or if he was even still alive. There have been times that I've felt really lonely and didn't know where to turn or what to do. When my brother first came back, he wasn't quite the same, but after everything calmed back down, he went back to being somewhat of his normal self. But upon looking back at it all, I'd rather be here and have the people that I know and care about me than to have to go back to being in Georgia all by myself, knowing that I had no one who cared if I lived or died or would even notice if I was missing. And I'm sure that the longer I stay here, the more likely I'll be to have more good and bad experiences, but I'd rather be here amongst people I can relate to and be comfortable with than to try and do it all alone. I spent most of my life alone and now that I actually have family that cares about me and friends who want me around, I'm not willing to give that up. And I'd fight anyone who tried to take that away from me or harm those that I love." As she finished up speaking, she could feel that her cheeks had turned warm and she had tensed up, slightly defensive. She looked down at the table as she realized this, trying to avoid eye contact. She hadn't meant to come off like that, but just the thought of anyone harming her brother or friends, made her mad and upset and ready to go after whoever it was. It didn't matter if it was a human or mutant or the police. She was willing to fight for the ones she loved and cared for.

Butterfly was surprised as Ty suddenly grabbed her in a big hug and squeezed her tight. As Ty explained what happened and sobbed on her shoulder, Butterfly patted his back and caressed the back of his head, trying to calm him as he sobbed. "Awwwww. I'm sorry, Ty. Maybe things can work out and ya'll can get back together. Just give her some time and she'll come to realize how much she misses you and really loves you. It'll be okay, Ty. You still have me." Butterfly felt so bad for her brother. She knew how much he really loved Tses and that the issues Tses had with feelings and affection often cause a lot of strain on their relationship. She hoped that they could get back together because she had really started to warm up to Tses, even feel like she was a sister to her. She just stood there and held her brother and rubbed his back and played with his hair. She even started to hum a little, thinking that would calm him some.

Butterfly had decided that she was going to move in the Mansion finally. Her brother had came back and things had seemed to have gotten better, at least to her. She was happy that her brother had decided to help her move, though she was waiting for him to show up. Thankfully she didn't have a lot of stuff but it would definitely be more than she could carry by herself.

She had been sorta living out of the bags of clothes from when she and Ty had went shopping before. And since then she had managed to acquire a few more clothes, some to help her stay warm. A few more pair of jeans and long sleeves, a jacket and some fur lined boots and a pack of socks. Though while she lived out of the bags, that didn't mean that all the clothes managed to stay in the bags. She gathered up the clothes that had been laying on the couch from where she had been trying to find a particular item of clothing to wear and folded them neatly so that they all would fit in the bags. Finally, she folded up the last pair of socks.

Next, she turned her attention to the items in the bathroom that her and Ty had joked about splitting. She grabbed the ipods that she was sure that she liked and the earphones that went with them. Maybe she could find a charger for them or something for when they finally went dead. She walked back to the living area and tossed them into a bag with the clothes. She then returned to the bathroom and she looked at the flat screened TV that was supposed to be hers. "There's no way I can move that by myself. I sure with Ty was here to help me with it." she thought to herself, pondering how she would move it if Ty didn't show up soon.
