[Dark Seraph]

Steel Canyon.
Vanguard Safehouse.

Neph lazes on the couch with Katie, watching as Briar was enthralled with the tv, some show with talking ponies was on, not that Neph was really paying attention, she was busy staring at her id card. "Security rank 50... Only took, seven months and a lot of dimension hopping."

Katie patted her shoulder. "Congratulations hun, so what are your plans now?"

Neph paused. "I have not thought that far really, probably still hero?"

Katie chuckled. "Well I was thinking, cuz I have done some reading on it, most high level heroes take on a side kick." She gently tilted her head to Briar.

"I am all but mothering her, much to my family's confusion, what would side kicking do?"

"Well, you get government funding to go towards their training, maybe even proper tuition for her."

"I don't know about enrolling her in a school, she struggles to say more than one word at a time... She is kind of a blank slate upstairs."

"Well it's just something to think about... Oh, maybe you can put her in your aunt Sera's class, the one she is running for Gir and Alicia?"

"I could, but that is more teaching social skills, because despite all her PR training, Gir is ass at human interaction and Alicia knows how to be a demon, not a person.... I can try."

Katie pats her shoulder. "Hey Briar sweety, you want to try some schooling?"

Briar looks over with those glittering ruby eyes. "School?" She croaks.

"Yeah, hang around kids your age, learn some stuff... You like that?"

Briar has a look of deep thoughts on her face, then slowly nods. "Yeeeeeeas."

Katie grinned. "Ta da! I am awesome at this stuff."

Neph chuckles. "Well you are mothering how many Seerers?"

"Last count, 16.... It is a big house."
