Lifting himself out of the tub Drake had just enough time to get pants on but not much else. The door flew open and 5 men walked in. They were all dressed in very nice suits with the one ahead clearly commanding the rest of them. He had to be in his late 40s and looking around the room. Drake was quick to draw attention to himself not wanting Gabriel involved in this little piece of history. "I didn't expect to ever see you in my town again Drake." The vampire offered an easy smile, "And yet against the odds here I am." He pulled on a white teeshirt no seeming scared of the men in the room of the fact that they all seemed to have guns on them. Their leader only glanced behind Drake but once again the vampire tried to direct attention away, "Is that your new boy toy?"<br/><br/>"Something like that. But I think we need to focus on the question of why you are here?" The leader moved closer and Drake stayed still as the human moved to stroke a hand down his cheek in an affectionate way. "You look just as good as I remember all those years ago." There was the small part of Drake that had always been soothed by this, by this commanding control of the situation and the seeming promise of belonging with someone. It caused him to lean in and forget for just a fraction of a second but that reality never lasted and as the hand moved closer to his mouth he bite down on the flesh he could reach hand around to rip a scream from the man as he took a step back gripping his hand. His men stood on their guard hands on their guns but their leader said to stand down. Drake was glaring at him now.<br/><br/>Sure the vampire had talked about all the sins he had committed and the people he had killed but it was always a little hard to believe with his lax disposition. Even in his more paranoid he wasn't per say scary but that couldn't be said in this moment as he stood before these humans. Something shifted in his features and Gabe had now gotten to see the man sides of his lover playing parts and playing pretend. It was strange to think nothing had changed about him and yet he looked like a different person, someone very capable of the things he had confessed as his eyes were cold as steel and unfeeling, lacking any of the playful warmth or wit. "I personally don't believe you have the nerve to show your face here to me Dominic. We were long past finished many many years ago." He said coolly in a way that very much sounded like a threat without being one.<br/><br/>This had to be the 'work' side of Drake, the one that had allowed him to get by and shut everything else down and make him dangerous in the world where otherwise he was in danger. Dominic clearly still felt like he had some sway over him though, "Come now, you always knew I wanted you back... you the best, there wasn't anything you couldn't do or achieve." he tried to reason keeping his voice steady. But the vampire was having none of it.<br/><br/>"Then do tell me... if I could do anything, what makes you believe I couldn't turn on you now? What makes you think I'm so harmless after all the things to got me to do? All the twisted terrible things and all the people I hurt just because you willed it at the time?" Dom didn't look so sure of his answer this time and he took a step back as Drake moved forward, the man again clearly tried to look over his shoulder to see Gabe but Drake grabbed him by the collar as he pulled him down to his eye level, "You leave this room right now and I will consider not ending you Dominic. I can burn your life to the ground and everything in it. It will be... my pleasure." He said calmly as the tension in the room kept rising.
