Ever since some Earthquake or another, the airlines haven't seen much use. Luckily, Steph's uncle was a longtime trick pilot. He got her to the US pretty quick for a small plane really only meant to write messages in the sky.
Steph didn't really like being in the air that much, she preferred the water, but if you think about isn't the sky just another ocean?
She had arrived in the US after speaking to Elle online. They had discovered two more Changlings online and she had planned an offline meeting for the five of them.

Addy was on her way to the meeting on foot. She and nothing better that she needed to be doing anyway; she'd just spent the past six hours filming, so she was a bit exhausted. But hey, money was money, and she certainly needed it. Damn poltergeist-mummy-thing-bastard, breaking her stuff like that.
Rhett wheeled through the sky above, imitating jet noises for the hell of it. He'd heard about the meeting via his fortuitous Craigslist posting, and so he was on his way. He dove back to earth, landing in an alleyway and vanishing his wings, before walking out onto the streets towards the meetup.

Elle paced the roof of a building near the meeting point. Where was she? They needed every bit of back-up they could find, fast. Weird things - weirder than usual- were happening, and she was worried. She tried to drown out her worries by listening to some Bob Marley, but that wasn't exactly working right now...

Her uncle's plane had just touched down four minutes ago and Steph felt hella jet-lagged. She wobbled around, before getting a taxi and giving the man directions to the meeting place.

Addy got there first, and she found a place in the branches of a nearby tree to get comfortable and wait.
Rhett arrived not soon after, taking a swig from his coffee mug. He didn't see Addy as he sat down below the tree, pulling out his phone to listen to some music of his own.

Elle, seeing the others get there, glided over to the other two, leaving her wings open. She immediately regarded Rhett. "You're one of us I take it?" she asked, wings still extended.

Rhett looked up, seeing her wings. He stood and extended his own, which were a good foot or three wider than hers. "Mine are bigger." He said with a childish smile.
Addy looked down and saw two pairs of wings. "Oh. Hello." She leapt out of he tree, sailing over Rhett and landing next to Elle. Rhett was a little surprised at her sudden arrival. His brow furrowed.
"Have we met?" Rhett asked Addy.
"No, I don't believe so." Addy was just as confused. Rhett shrugged.

Elle looked between the two before shrugging. "I'm Elle, Eagle" she said offering her hand to the other guy with wings.

"Rhett. Hawk, Sparrow and Crow." He took the hand and shook it.
"Addison. Tiger." She displayed her claws for a moment.
"I swear to god, I know you from somewhere." Rhett said to Addy. Addy kept her face cool, but her mind was racing.
"Maybe you saw me in some commercial?"
Rhett considered it a moment, contemplating Addy's face.

Elle stood there, scowling at how his webs were bigger. He had three birds? That just wasn't fair. At least she would probably be faster, she figured.

"I'll figure it out in a minute or two, I'm sure. Weren't there another few supposed to meet us?" Rhett asked.
"Yeah, Stephanie's coming. She's a shark. I think there was a fifth, though?" Addy tried to think, while Rhett also went deep in thought, trying to figure out where he knew Addy from.

"Yeah, there's a fifth" Elle confirmed. "I can't remember what she can do."

Rhett snapped his fingers. "That's it! I've seen a whole bunch of your stuff!"
Addy's face paled. "My... stuff?" Oh god, please god no, don't let him recognize me in front of Elle...
"Mostly the more niche stuff." Rhett continued. It was like Elle wasn't even there.

Rhett flinched a little when Elle spoke. "Oh. How old are you?"
Addy was white as a sheet, standing stock still.
