Ear walked into the middle of the room and stopped. He didn't turn around only listened to Mystiques aproach. He didn't care right now if she thought him stupid, he could hear her move, he could know what she was doing and be prepared.
"What is it?" He asked to the wall in front of him when he heard Mystiques footsteps aproach. Somehow having the first word always made him feel a little more confident, and right now he needed that.

She smiled as she undid the lock and leaned into the room. "Would you like breakfast? I'm going to order some room service."
The smile never left her face. It was a great feeling, responding to anger with nothing but calm and politeness. And Adam's buttons were so easy to push, it made it that much more exciting.

Ear whirled around and glared at her. "No, I wouldn't like breakfast I would like to know exactly what you want from me and why you keep me around." He was angry now and he was not going to be taken for a complete idiot. He was sick and tired of the question being dodged by non commital answers.
His hands were clenched in the sleeves of his trenchcoat. He hadn't taken it off for this very reason. He doubted that Mystique would not know that he was angry and not know that he was most definitally dangerous, but his trenchcoat, scavenged though it may be, was a nice piece of clothing and he was not going to part from it.

She raised an eyebrow and stepped farther into the room. It looked like playtime was over. "At first, I kept you around to teach you a lesson. Now that new information has come to light, however, I'm keeping you around because I believe that you might be a valuable asset to my organization. We can provide you with free room and board, as well as combat training, and all you have to do is help us."
It certainly would be good to have someone with such advanced hearing on the team. They'd lost a few battles due to the fact that they were unaware that they were being cornered or otherwise attacked. Someone like Ear could come in quite handy. And he certainly had the attitude that most fitted with the Brotherhood. Except for the whole denial thing. That was bad. But there were ways around it.

"Help you?" He looked out the window again. All he had to do was help them. Help them and he learns how to fight, free room and board, and all he had to do was help them. It was looking like a good deal, but based on what Mystique had done earlier this didn't look like a peaceful organization.
Ear turned back around to face her. "Fine, but one little thing you should know that I tried to tell you earlier. If I get caught by the police doing anything I will be sent to death row. I have killed, I have robbed, I have done it all since I was a tike on the streets." Ear figured if she didn't want him after that bout he was in. she obviously handled that kind of thing and he would respect that, to an extent.

She smiled slightly and stepped further into the room. "Adam, there is not one person in our group who has not commited such crimes. We have all killed. Some of us more voluntarily than others, but the fact remains. We have all stolen. The fact that you have already done such things at so young an age is a positive thing, at least from where I stand. You have experience. You won't freeze up as much as some of the others do. And in the off chance that you do get caught, we will free you. We've done jail breaks before, they are fairly easy considering the amount of metal poured into those buildings. We were responsible for the large-scale breakout at the Paul Martin Containment Facility a few months back. It was accomplished with only two operatives. Easy."
She turned to go back to her own room, then faced him once more. "You'll need a code name. And the breakfast offer is still open if you want it."

Ear smiled, this was a group he could probably live with, as long as they didn't have attitude problems. "Well it's good to know I've got company." He pondered the PMCF breakout. "I only heard bits and pieces of the facility break out so I really have no idea what you are talking about. Living on the streets is not the best way to get information, in case you didn't know."
He almost laughed as she mentioned a code name. "You still don't even know my real name." He shook his head a little. "Just call me Ear. And breakfast sounds nice, how about some toast and eggs, sunny side up."

She nodded, glad that he was not only lightening up a little bit, but was actually going to stay. At least, it seemed, for breakfast. "Ear. It fits. I'll go order that right now."
Stepping back into her own room, she smiled silently. The "loss" of Miguel had been more than made up for by the addition of Ear. At least he wouldn't leave dead plant matter wherever he went.

Ear flopped down on one of the chairs in the room and set about trying to figure out what he had signed up for. Before doing so he made sure he would hear anyone coming either down the hall toward his room, or Mystique coming back in. She was currently typing on a keyboard and not paying him any attention.
This whole mutant concept was not one he was comfortable with. He wasn't a mutant he had just developed a finer sense of hearing than anyone else. He had never tried to hear anything beyond where he could see or around a corner, but then could he?
Ear sat cross legged and tried to hear further down the hall. He couldn't tell if it was working but then again he also didn't know the layout of the building so that might have something to do with it, or he just might not be a mutant. Ear leaned toward that last idea and settled back into his chair. Now as for Mystique and her missions. It was obvious she thought him to be a scout or lookout or something, but what for? He had decided it would be fun and worth the training and board and feed, but that was still to be seen.

Ear heard the food cart arrive and Mystiques charming reply to the doorman who was waiting obviously for a tip. He smiled before going back to thining, but once more it was disturbed. Mystique was leaving her room. He smiled and decided to test his hearing. He followed her footsteps and listened in on the conversations. It was interesting to be sure. He sat up abruptly in a minute. Moss is also no longer with us. He... died tragically on the way here. However, there is a new boy who so boldly tried to break into my apartment. He has enhanced hearing. He will make a more than adequate replacement for the weed. He snorted at the part about Moss, but her introduction of himself to that man was definitally interesting. Enhanced hearing was how she put it, but was that really what he had? Again Ear fell into the lapse about whether or not this was the right choice, things were complicated and it was getting just a little sticky. He decided that it was no longer worth his thought and got up to go get some food.

Ear walked into his room. He had been out talked for the first time in, well since he could remember. He sat back down in the chair. He had trouble accepting the lost part, so he wouldn't, but... his whole train of thought was crashing down around him. Everything he had thought this organization and this woman was more than he had expected. Ear slouched and stared out the window.

Ear stared out the window he didn't know how long before someone riased their voices in the hallway. He had heard Mystique leave and come back to her room, now she left again. He smiled and listened in on what was going on in the hallway. Well well Mystique was facing down doggy boy again. And here comes Magneto. Well, he was not going out there now, but that mention of hiding the conversation, could he still listen in? Ear was eager enough to try and find out so he stayed put and listened in.

Ear was amused by the whole escapade in the hallway. It was quite interesting and helped him see where exactly the power lay in the whole of the... whatever this group was. When Mystique set a Baby sitter on him Ear shot up, he was eighteen and he deserved to be treated so. Ear stormed out of his room....
