<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Anastasia nodded and opened a portal for the taller woman to pass through, naturally, she would need to escort the other woman through but it was hardly a burden on the sorceress. <br/>
Much like before she held out her hand to Dia, she knew that her sisters would most likely contact her and give her a lecture about bringing Dia to their room, but it was hardly as if Dia could ever find it on her own without the help of technology, and even then she would have to dematerialise and rematerialise herself which was a process in itself. <br/>
<br/>
Once Dia was safely through the portal she returned to the Conclave. <br/>
Celine approached her once again, this time others followed her lead "Ana, I didn't want to discuss this with you, at least in front of the woman, Directorate or not, but this doesn't seem right, Talon&amp;co we believe are just a front to something, it seems recently that they have been working with a research company called Moniesha, more importantly, it's a drug research centre, it's not too far from Talon but we have good reason to think that Moniesha is pushing for Talon to release whatever concotion it's brewed up" she stated, her tone clearly a serious one, although it didn't seem to explain why Celine hadn't mentioned it in front of Dia, Anastasia's expression said as much. <br/>
Celine glanced around the room as if seeking permission from her sisters to speak "A few guardians from the Directorate have gone missing lately, powerful guardians, and people of striking similarity have been cropping up, the other day Kiera ran into one of the said missing guardians, but they had different DNA, a clone most likely, when Kiera extracted some DNA we ran a test, unofficially of course, and the DNA only goes back to three years ago, they had a growth accelerant, clearly not a creature that was born, they had a different name, very mysterious all around really, but these clones are working a Directorate leader known as Alan Brown, a powerful vampire, we felt that mentioning that in front of Dia might raise some issues" <br/>
<br/>
Anastasia frowned, thinking deeply, the Directorate, as far as she knew was mostly goody two shoes, sure they killed without bringing said vamp or whatever supernatural creature that had been wreaking havoc to a course, but they ultimately protected the human race. <br/>
So why would someone very high up the Directorate be working with a drug research facility that was splicing DNA, what did that mean for Lea? were they using her DNA? What for? <br/>
<br/>
Anastasia thanked Celine for the info and got to work on a glamour, brewed into a small bottle, she wasn't sure how it would change her appearance, that was always a risk with these potions, but its effects would be temporary, she needed no weapons, more than capable of defending herself. She changed into a black tank top, and some black leggings, with some knee high boots, flat heeled. Once she was ready she opened a portal and arrived within Headquarters, although the receptionists face amused the sorceress, clearly not expecting to see Anastasia Acosta of all people, she strolled on by past the scanners and other various security measures until she reached a waiting room of sorts, gaurdians and liasons passed her by, some sparing curious glances and others competley oblivious to her presence. </span></span>​</div>
