Lucien felt his heart drop into his stomach as realization hit him like a brick.  His pupils contracted with the outstretching of his senses, focusing them around this First Classer and taking in every last detail about her in an attempt to decide if what she said was true.

"I give up," he said, though he spoke more to the Tornadoes members than the ShinRa ops considering how many were actually left standing, "I won't fight her."<br/><br/>"Well, we ain't fuckin' givin' up," Duke retorted, bringing his rifle to his shoulder and aiming at Teri, "So, either ya come quietly and we figure out what ta do wit' ya or we put ya down 'ere."<br/><br/>"Harm her and none of you leave here alive." Lucien growled, completely at odds with his current situation.<br/><br/>"Then, it seems we've reached a bit of an impasse," Hein said, sliding down from his prior position atop the debris pile, "Who exactly is this is woman to you that you'd turn on your allies in her defense when she's actively trying to capture you?  Or kill you, she seems to be waffling on that particular decision."<br/><br/>Lucien looked up at Teri, smiling peacefully.  "She's my oldest friend."
