Jason sighed. "We at least need a building," Jason said, "Even if it's not exactly in camp. Food isn't keeping. What we bring in through hunting is either smoked until it's jerky or it spoils. We can't afford to waste anything." He folded his arms across his chest. "We have too many mouths to feed to let that happen."

"Food is easier to come by than you think. The mutants we hunt are large and supply plenty which can be dried to stay fresh, except for the meat I have Dimitri store in a cold room that he created under his tent. Dimitri's dimension shifting abilities come in handy but he doesn't do well in a crowd so I'm usually the only one there when he does his work. I try to keep his skills in the dark from most mutants so he doesn't draw a crowd." Jason was asking similar questions he had asked his mentor before coming to this time, but in the end his mentor gave some very simple solutions.

Jason looked away, feeling like an arse for calling them out on something that Slade and Dimitri had already taken care of, especially if Dimitri was self conscious about his own powers and gift. "Sorry... I just over think things I guess." he said. "Is there... anything I should know about?" And he wasn't asking to be rude, he was asking in an attempt to educate himself.

"Well I guess there's only one other thing that you need to know. I came back in time and one of the people I came to save was myself. I had to stop the monster I was and help him to see what my mentor taught me. The person I used to be went by the name Tomoe." Slade looked at Jason and waited for a response. He knew this news was hard to take in, especially with Tomoe and himself being so different from one another. "I obtained many different abilities from mutants in my time of working for FROGS. It wasn't until Dimitri found me in that time and trained me that I became the man I am today."

Jason inhaled slowly as this sunk in. It wasn't completely impossible. He was sure there were mutants with powers that made that possible. "And... what happens to you if they kill Tomoe in this time period?" he asked, since Tomoe was one of the few taken. Was this what Slade meant when he believed Jason would have to step up further? "Would that mean you never got sent back?" He wasn't sure what this could do to the time stream.

Slade shook his head to put Jason's mind at ease. "I changed time already by coming back. We have become two separate people but I know what I became in my time and I'm afraid that Tomoe will turn out worse. There's also a prediction from Meg that I'll turn myself over to FROGS. I don't know the circumstances but it's possible that I trade myself for him." Slade knew it was a possibility since he cared more about Tomoe's safety than his own.

"No offense but you're not doing anyone good by doing that." Jason said boldly. "Do you honestly think Tomoe would want you to do that? Let those... monsters get their hands on you? And unless Meg saw them honoring their word why would you even trust them?" Deals always turned south. It was a dog eat dog world. The bigger dog with the more powerful bite and the fearsome bark always won in the end.

Slade knew What Jason was feeling and he understood, but the fact remained that he had strong feelings for Tomoe. He had to protect him and if it meant sacrificing himself he would do it. "I know the leader from back in my time. He honors deals, but he does make sure that a deal benefits himself."

"But you're the symbol of hope here. You give up and yourself in... What's that say to everyone else?" Jason demanded. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair. "Send me. I can spring him out. I know you aren't for rescue missions but giving up isn't an option."

Slade appreciated Jason's willingness. "I don't think even I could spring him out, let alone you. It's hard enough to get in, let alone get out with an extra person. I will promise I won't make that trade. It will be hard to refuse but I'll stay and refuse." Slade wanted more than anything to switch places with Tomoe. He feared the person they would see if they met him again.

Jason sighed. He knew this was important to Slade. He felt terrible for trying to convince him otherwise but they needed Slade just as much as they needed Tomoe. "What if we convince the humans we're not a threat?" Jason asked. Sophie had told him of countless books she read regarding propaganda. "Show them we're just as human as they are but with a minor difference?"

Slade shook his head. FROGS had always managed to out maneuver any attempts to sway the public. "FROGS has ways of twisting anything we say, along with twisting words and using a special mutant with the ability to be very persuasive to any who hears his voice. You may have heard of him. He's got his own tv show. His name is Godfrey, have you heard of him?"

Jason shook his head, almost growling in frustration, not at Slade but over the FROGS and how much control they had. "Not like I had a TV when I was in the city." Jason said. "There were times I was lucky enough to have food. TV seemed kind of pointless."

"Don't forget the big screens on the skyscrapers. F.R.O.G.S. has the ability to broadcast onto any screen within the city. The first step will be to take down F.R.O.G.S. After that we can try to convince the city that we're not evil like F.R.O.G.S. says we are." Slade could understand Jason's frustration. This would not be a war won easy.

"So what, we go vigilante on crime in the city and save humans or something?" Jason asked sarcastically. He wasn't exactly sure how to put the first foothold in for mutant rights.
