Jack's POV:
"And we are there, where we started yesterday." I declared, when we were walking between the green and pink flaming trees in direction of Proudfoot House.
"We have even a plan. Crazy, absolutely nonsensical and life threatening, but we have." said Morrigan, theatrically walking up the road.
"We don't have spies." I pointed.
"And uniforms."
"And space for training."
"And brains."
"Yeah, and... Wait, what?"
Morrigan erupted to laughter and I grinned.
"You little monster!"
"Hm... Someone's having a fun." Heloise with her companions just came from the door of Proudfoot House.
"Hey Heloise!" greeted her Morrigan. I thought, that I'm dreaming. Heloise smiled at us.
"Hello! Good to see you both alright again. You are the two of unbreakable, aren't you? One could say, that you're preparing something again."
"Erm, Heloise?" spoke Morrigan.
"Can we have a word?"
The girl shrugged and Morrigan took her a bit away from the group. She was whispering something to her, then looked at her questionably. Heloise shaped the word:
"Wait." with her lips and went to the Charltons' Five. They were talking for a moment, but next Heloise turned to us.
"Fine." she pulled out the pen and wrote something to Morrigan's palm.
"Phone number to my home. Call me, if you'll need something."
"We'll meet here, after your last workshop, okay?" asked Morrigan and Heloise nodded. We came to the building and each of us made his way to his own direction.
"Handy, aren't I?" Morrigan praised herself. I raised my eyebrow. She smirked.
"I found the help-spies for us."

Morrigan's POV:
"We have it!" I hit my hand to the air, when we after half an hour left the building again. I counted with my fingers, what everything we already had done.
"We have the uniforms like for an Arcane scholars, Charlton's Five as the spies, and Unit 919 as a fightgroup. But we still don't have..."
"Cascade Towers!" shouted Jack victoriously.
"Erm... What?"
"We must find Heloise and your unit, come on!"
›‹›‹›‹
"Jack, this is probably the best idea, you ever had!" I called, when we stepped to the coblestones on the square of Cascade Towers.
"So and now a moving, motivational speech would be appropriate." Jack laughed. Arch, Anah, Cadence, Francis, Hawthorne, Lam, Mahir, Thaddea, Heloise and her mates gathered on the end of Waevreley Walk, staring open-mouthed. I clapped to make them listen and started.
"I'm glad to welcome you at the place, lot of people don't know about. Jack has told you, what role you will have at this. But I want to aware you in advance, that we know just one thing. The students of Arcane Arts will have a better results. We are no different than you. We are just lot of times judged because of our knacks. Every one of us have a talent, that is nearer to the Wun-Arts, than to the normal person skill. We are used to the supernatural and we can handle pressure and negative emotions better. Look around you." I went inside the group and I pulled Lam out by her hand.
"By Lambeth Amara people are also scared, because of her visions. They expelled her from the home. She had an headeaches and she kept away from her unit. But then she was kidnapped and she saved more, than one life." I was especially careful about that, what I say about her. With my other hand I held Cadence by her wrist.
"People are scared by Cadence Blackburn, when they don't remember her. They are scared by unknown. Noone of you don't know, maybe she rescued your life, but you aren't able to remember, because she disapeared from you mind like a camphor. By Mesmetists are people scared, they think, that they are criminals. But after all, it's not their blame." I didn't have a free hand anymore, so I just continued.
"And look at Jack. He lives in the hotel with his uncle, who knows, where is the rest of his family. He wears an eyepatch, to don't go crazy, but in the other hand, he rescues lives. Heloise, he rescued Alfie, not me. He gave me the Black Mail. I just used it to call the help. What do you think, who helped Jupiter and Stealth, when I ran away on the Halloween night? Who helped to find these Cascade Towers, and the Jemmity Park? And who was looking for the infected Wunimals? We are strong, because we have lot behind us. I'm not saying, that you have a perfect life, but you are solving mundane problems. Where I have my garb? Knows my patron about this, and that? Where is that class? But..."
"Look at Morrigan. She is praising the Arcane, but she is still one of us. She came from the Republic, she risked her life umbelieveably lots of times for all of us. Where would we be without her?" interrupted me Jack.
"Me and Lam already sold illegaly somewhere away." joined him Cadence.
"We would never get rid of Hollowpox, got back the fireblossoms and keep our freedom." spoke Lambeth.
"I would never made it all without her."
"We are standing together and we support each other. Sisters and brothers..." started white-sleeves.
"... loyal for life. Tethered for always, true as a knife." continued grey ones. I raised my head at the group, and the flames burned in my hands.
"So let's start."
