[Isaac glances over and shakes his head. "Doesn't seem like the kids are on it, as far as Stiles can tell."

Danny hesitates, glancing back at Lizzie and not wanting to give an answer right away.]

Not sure. I don't want to leave Lizzie alone, just in case.

You're not on it. None of you are.

( Maybe the younger generation was spared. Or Danny came into his own too late for the list to be updated. Either way, another sigh of relief comes. )

You're old enough to decide. We're leaving shortly. Or, if you want, I can have them drop me by. I promised you I'd be there for you. Hunters won't stop me.

[He'll tip to the side to pass that off to Lizzie before turning his focus back to his guardian.]

You should go. It'll be safer. I'll text you once I know where I'm landing, but if we're not on the list, we'll probably just keep behaving accordingly.

[Meaning he'll follow Lizzie to New York, and hopefully things will stay calm for them.]

If you need me. Tell me. Any time. We can astral project once I land.

( She and the others. She says her goodbyes and tells him how proud she is of him. )

He's safe. They all are at the school, but if we're on this list than yours and Ryan's affiliations with the school are out there, too. Should we - Kansas?

( Ryan, quiet and laconic, looks to Caroline. )

We can.

[Kansas is certainly an option. One that Caroline isn't entirely sure she wants to take, because being stuck in a bunker with Dean, Sam and Katherine isn't really a step she wants to take.

She glances over to Isaac.]

Does Stiles need a hand in DC?

[Isaac shrugs. "I can ask?"]

And there's also anywhere else. Ryan's from California, right?

( "Chino, California," he clarifies. Not somewhere he'd want to go back to. "Newport Beach after that," he relents. He hasn't been back since his transition, only on Facetime with Seth and Summer and their kid. And the calls to Sandy and Kirsten. To Julie. ...Taylor. )

What are our options and what are they fast. Kansas. D.C. Newport Beach.

We could head overseas again.

[Not that he wants to be back on Europe time again, but it is one of the options.]

I think William is heading back to Star City. The Underground has a cell in Baltimore, they could keep us under the radar.

[But while he's rattling off options, he'll text to Stiles:]

Do you need back up in DC?

[Another pause.]

There's also always Beacon Hills, still California. No one will be looking for me there.

( For what? Did I miss something?

Sorry, Isaac. Probably not. )

But, everyone will be looking for... Scott there? And you're affiliated? What do you think, Caroline? Where would you go?

Me?

[She's not really the runner. While she has contacts outside of Mystic Falls, most of them are school related, and she doesn't want to bring this down on the students.]

I don't know. Where do you think they'd be least likely to look for us?

[A beat.]

Probably Kansas.

Probably... Kansas. And aligning with the good hunters, and one close to Elena. Do we have a better move?

( It's not Ryan's call, so he waits. )

[She shakes her head before glancing to Isaac.]

Not that I can see. You?

[He makes a face. "My best option is spending way too much time with Jackson Whittemore, and that's one reunion I'm not looking to have. Kansas works for me."]

( "They don't have a bad baseball team," is Ryan's contribution. But it seems decided. )

Then I guess this is a shirt off our backs situation. Damon's on his way?

( "Damon's here," he says pulling down the aisle of the parking lot and parking diagonally like a dramatic dick. He steps out of his care, slamming the door behind him and surveying the scene. "Hunter chow." )

[She turns to Damon with a sigh.]

It looks like after we clean this up, we're all heading to Kansas. What about you?

I didn't know I'd be heading anywhere.

( But now that he feels caught up? He makes a split decision. )

Maybe I'll pay a visit to my baby brother.

With the hit list being what it is, we figured it would probably be better to be where people won't be looking for us.

[More or less.]

I'm sure Stefan and Buffy would love that.

[She will text them a warning.]

( He didn't ask for your opinion. )

Just help me get rid of your bodies and you won't have to worry about what Stefan and Buffy would love.

Fine.

[And with that they will gather up the bodies for disposal, and once that's done, they will head off on their separate doxing adventures.]
