Kings row
Seraph's House
Seraph looked to Tish, then back to Neph and her Jane Doe. "I don't think we can Neph."
Neph sighed. "Why not? We accepted Gir, Sera and her kids, why not her?"
Her father tapped the table. "I'm not sure we have the room.... That and I don't need rumours, taking in a tin of teenage girls when you are a rich white man?"
Neph's face fell. "But we got to do something for her, just look at her."
Jane Doe was awkwardly using a spoon to scoop up porridge and sticking it in her mouth, the sound of crystal teeth clattering against the metal spoon filling the room.
Seraph took a breath. "I know.... But we just don't have the room."
Tish spoke up. "You said she has Seer tech in her head, why not try your girlfriend? Maybe she can help?"
Neph looks at Jane. "I can try...."
Steel Canyon
Vanguard Safehouse.
Katie hugged Neph as she entered, then looked at Jane. "Oh... A new seer?" She asked.
Neph chewed her lip. "Yes and no... Let me explain."
They sat in the loungeroom as Neph explained everything that had happened, from Eden, to The hospital and her family's reaction.
Katie smiles. "Neph, I would love to look after your new daughter."
Neph blushed. "Er, I did not adopt her... So she is more a ward?"
The seer laughed, before turning to Jane, who was looking at the seers floating around curiously. "Let's see what I can do to help.... Jane? Please sit still okay." Katie said as she gently placed her hands on Jane Doe's head, psychic energy rippling between them.
Neph leans over. "Er... What are you doing?"
"Oh, just a light reading and uploading human basics. I have had to do it with the more extreme cases with the seers. Also trying to undo the damage to her language centre..... Crey did a real number on her...."
Jane's ruby eyes looks around as her lips twist, a wordless mumble flowing forth.
Katie sat back. "I have done all I can with out major mind dive.... So, do you have a name?"
Jane opened and closed her mouth several times, before she let out a rasping croak. "Briar."
Katie clapped and looked to Neph. "Miracle worker Katie strikes again, I accept payment in hugs and kisses."
Neph laughs and pulls Katie into a hug.... Before Briar walks over and joins the hug.
Neph looks at her and smiles. "I promise to do good by you Briar."
The girl nodded and smiles, those glittering crystal shark like teeth looking intimidating.

Neph: I wanna fight!
