Zeke... tries to hide his utter annoyance at the fabric. 

She notices. She kisses his cheek as she passes him on the way out of the room, because he is cute, and also for putting up with Clothes so she can rescue her brother. 

Downstairs to meet up with Joey, and then onwards toward Alex!

They follow, trying to not be obviously superhuman.

If they make any mistakes no one who catches sight of them seems to notice.

Angel leads them through some backstreets and up onto some roofs as they get closer to the downtown area, taking the shortest path from the suburbs to the old townhouse where Alex lives. 

There's a couple kids drawing on the sidewalk with chalk out front. Neither of them is Alex. Angel instead points to the tree in the front yard. 

There's a boy about eight feet up, curled up in the branches and reading a book. 

"So how do we do this?" whispers Joey.

"Um... you guys wait in that alley, and I'll wait here," just in sight of the tree, for a human, "And Zeke can go toss a pinecone at him or something? Careful, though, he's still human." 

The wolves dart into the alley.

Zeke dutifully tosses said pine cone with freak accuracy. 

"Ow!" He reaches up to cover his cheek, dropping the book in the process, and then scrambles up to look in their direction, scowling. 

...and then he loses the scowl, expression turning surprised when he sees them across the street. 

"Ange?" He whispers, staring. 

Once she's sure they have his attention, she grabs Zeke's hand and tugs him into the alley with her. 

And shortly, Alex follows, coming around the corner at a run. 

Zeke is busy pulling Angel into a dumpster.

Angel is... sort of cooperating? She's stalling enough that Alex catches a glimpse of her sweater-cape as she vanishes inside. 

He slows down a bit now, approaching the dumpster more carefully. Something about this seems really weird, even considering the fact that his sister isn't supposed to be here. 

"...Angel?" He calls quietly from just outside, "That you?" 

She makes a small unhappy noise. She wants to go out and see him! But she doesn't pull away from Zeke.

A voice calls behind him. 

"Hello."

He spins around, "What- who are you?"

Angie is standing beside her brother. "The best thing that's ever happened to you!"

Joey darts over and pulls Alex to the ground, pinning him with a hand to his mouth. "Quick, bite him!"

Angie runs over and proceeds to bite down with suprising force on Alex's shoulder, drawing blood.

He struggles, trying to kick the boy off of him, and then arches with a muffled scream when the girl bites him. 

Angel flinches at the sound, going tense from a rush of conflicting emotions. Her Alex is hurt, she doesn't like that (...she doesn't, right?). But he's gonna be strong and fast and free, and no one will ever separate them again. But he's going to be so mad she did it without asking. But he might have said no, if she had, and then what? Ugh. It's too late for second thoughts, anyway. 

She jumps up to peer down at them from the lip of the dumpster. 

The wolves are running out the other side of the alley, hooting and laughing.

They leave Alex half-curled on his side with a hand pressing down on the bite, gasping in pain.
