With how out of control things seem to be with the humans and other packs, it's just--no."<br/><br/>When mouse wasn't interacting with the humans or other packs and was more comfortable in presence of his own pack, Mouse seemed to be more nervous and definitely had no way with words.<br/><br/>Leon tapped his cigarette to rid of the excess ashes.<br/><br/>"On the bright side," Stephanie began. "thanks to the humans we don't have to worry about the Black Rose Pack." She began laughing quietly, as the other wolves joined.<br/><br/>Leon slammed his fist to the table, causing the ashtray to jump and the other wolves to stop laughing. "What if that were our pack? HUH? Our children? Our family? Our home? WHAT IF IT WERE US?" He shouted more directed toward Stephanie. The five at the table lowered their gaze. Except one.<br/><br/>"Well, it wasn't our pack now was it?" Stephanie replied with acid melting the edges of each word.<br/><br/>Leon took the last drag of his cigarette before putting it out. The bags under his eyes that were fixated upon Stephanie, were covered by the smoke escaping his lips.<br/><br/>"Listen. We up the security. I'll be sure you're safe, sir."<br/><br/>Leon laughed. "Do you actually believe I am that concerned about my own safety? I WANT THIS PLACE SECURED! NOT ME!" He shouted again.<br/><br/>"I can do that." Kane began. "I'll be sure this place is inpenertrable." Kane said with confidence.<br/><br/>"We should get more scouts out on the streets." Haden spoke softly.<br/><br/>"Good good. Alright. Kane, get this place amped up. Stephanie...fucking-a get your shit together. Impress me. Ra, go ahead and amp up security with everyone here."<br/><br/>"What do I do?" Mouse asked.<br/><br/>"Get scouts out on the streets. You can convince them. But you fucking be sure they don't cause anything, you got it?" Leon spoke loudly, seeing Mouse nod frantically. "Alright. Get the hell out of here." His last words rang as he stood up from the table and left. A few men followed Leon where ever he walked. His bodyguards. Haden had them also, but soon they all would.<br/><br/>He walked quickly through the building, his mind racing with frustration. Something that usually calmed him he decided to try again. He walked across the building to the nursery. He peered in through the glass wall of the play area of the nursery. He watched the toddlers play. He was the father of many of them, but was unable to care for them.<br/><br/>He watched as a sting came to his heart.<br/><br/>"Honey, come to bed." Haden said as she wrapped her arm around him, feeling his chest."<br/><br/>"You know how I can't sleep." He replied. He heard Haden sigh and leave, going upstairs. He watched as the toddlers were being gathered by their caretakers to go to bed. He would now venture the house, searching for anthing to occupy them until later.<br/><br/><br/>(OOC - More of just a note for myself, but for anyone else as well. Kane grey surveillience / Stephanie white security / Mouse black / Ra brown Leon's guards / Haden red)<br/><br/>Scambo 03-13-2009 02:50 PM<br/>There was motion, shifting, carrying. Grunts, orders, all in hushed, serious tones. Jack struggled beneath a heady wave of darkness. There was pain mostly, but something else....Overlapping were thick layers of...What felt like weaving through a pool filled with jelly. Drugs. Whatever they were, they were damn strong. It took him a while but finally, Jack was able to wriggle a bit within the crushing, drug induced lethargy. He could move, slightly. Small, precise motions. Toes at first, then fingers, and finally he shifted slightly, using his knees, he propped himself up on his side, breathing and motions restrained by thick bindings that wrapped about him. He heard boots on steel, plastic clicking and then a sharp blow rolled him back on his stomach, and he felt the sharp steel tip of a syringe plunging into his arm and then....nothing.<br/><br/>-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>He stirred slowly, some time later. The soft infirmary mattress beneath him and the steady flow of the clear liquid in the IV attached to his arm gave him some measure of comfort. He started to push himself up, to try and get a measure of his surroundings when a white gloved hand gently pushed him back down. It was a woman, long, dark hair tied into a ponytail, white doctor's mask hanging limp at her neck.<br/><br/>"Whoa, easy there. You've taken quite a beating in the past couple of hours Agent....Jackson? According to the reports, those implants of yours must've crossed wires and thrown you about a bit. Nothing major, bruising but nothing broken. You'll be sore for a while, but thats about it." Grunting, he shifted himself in the bed.<br/><br/>"W...What?" Frowning, she picked up the chart at the foot of his bed and scanned it.<br/><br/>"Agent Ty Jackson. Fresh recruit huh? Its' too bad what happened. But, in this business getting roughed up a bit is preferable to getting disemboweled. L4 and L3 implants eh? That's some pretty heavy hardware to put in one Agent. At least, when it works anyway. Hopefully those egg-heads down at tech and research will get it sorted out soon."<br/><br/>"Fat chance." He said, sliding up a bit and getting a better look at the room he was in. It was stark white, in contrast to the chrome equipment scattered about, all immaculate and pristine. There were no windows, and the light was supplied by rows of small but bright bulbs mounted about the walls. Something wasn't right though, why the private treatment room?<br/><br/>"Hey doc. How come I'm not in general?"<br/><br/>"Those implants of yours make it dangerous to try anything in general. One crossed neuron or wayward twitch and BOOM. There goes half the lab. Don't worry, your going to be fine. You just need a more experienced staff thats all. Alright, I need to go. If you need anything just push that button and someone will come right away." Smiling, she turned and walked out the room's one door. Sighing, Ty nestled deeper into the bed, feeling drained and tired. Looking inside from the hidden window, the Colonel smiled. Turning to look at the doctor who had just walked, he clasped his hands behind his back.<br/><br/>"How is he?"<br/><br/>"Fine. The wipe looks like it worked, but without a thorough psych evaluation and maybe an MRI, I can't be certain. Are you sure you couldn't go deeper?"<br/><br/>"Not without damaging the memories pertaining to training and reflexive magic use. We can't risk disabling or altering those memories in any way, or else we lose our chance to study them and perhaps learn their weaknesses. Doctor, I'm assigning you to him specifically. The less people who see his insides, the better. You, Doctor Camden, Doctor Li, Graymen and I are the only ones who know what he really is and I intend to keep it that way. Of course, we'll have to keep the men in the dark, but they won't question it."<br/><br/>"I'm the best doctor here, wounded and injured men need me! Not some whackjob experiment of yours!"<br/><br/>"Thats exactly why your the one I'm assigning to him. This isn't open to discussion Sarah. I know you want to see what makes him tick as much as the rest of us." She frowned before sighing and palming her forehead.<br/><br/>"Fine. I don't know how the hell you managed to talk me and mom into this, but...Its hard to swallow. I mean, things that are supposed to be myths, legends, are real and whats worse, they're killing people."<br/><br/>"I know sweetie, I know. But that's the reason we're here, to keep them from doing anymore damage than they already have." She turned and walked away, heels clicking metronymically on the polished steel floors. Turning back to peer at the now sleeping Jack, the Colonel grinned again. They would win this war. It was only a matter of time.<br/><br/>Forgotten Wolf 03-13-2009 08:19 PM<br/>â€œI have done nothing to you that you have not already started yourself.â€ She approaches him slowly as she used just a tiny bit of her powers to make him listen to her and be more trusting. â€œLook at yourself.....none of those out there will ever accept you or try to help you with what you are becoming. They will kill you on sight to prevent the taint of your soul from advancingâ€¦â€<br/><br/>As her magic affected him, Dherrisâ€™ mind warred with itself. Thatâ€™s not trueâ€¦ Cutra accepted me despite my transformationâ€¦<br/><br/>Then where is she now? She left you, ran from youâ€¦<br/><br/>SHUT UP! Thatâ€™s not trueâ€¦ she has an obligation to the council.<br/><br/>Yeah, right. Keep believing thatâ€¦<br/><br/>â€œI on the other hand can help you, can teach you to control what is happening to you so that you can make yourself look normal and not be an outcast from your own kindâ€¦.â€<br/><br/>I donâ€™t need your help to look normalâ€¦ I can do that on my own.<br/><br/>â€¦For how long?<br/><br/>She steps a bit closer to him, â€œI can teach you in such a way that the others will see the error of their ways in banishing you in the first place, make them see that you are equal if not more powerful than all of them combined.â€<br/><br/>A tempting offerâ€¦<br/><br/>But how would she be able to such a thing?<br/><br/>Who cares as long as these lessons mean sheâ€™ll be wearing less! His eyes were starting to glaze over as her magic began to sink deeper into him, he unconsciously licked his lips almost in anticipation.<br/><br/>She reached out slowly and cups the side of his face tilting it and having him look into her eyes, â€œOnly I can help you in this. Without me you will continue to change and warp yourselves until you are no longer anything but a monster. Come with me and you will see things that you have only ever dreamed ofâ€¦..â€ her tone coaxing and gentle as she leaned close enough to kiss him but stopping till their lips were just out of reach of each other, to give him the ability to seal the deal between them.<br/><br/>If her mere presence was almost too much before, then the addition of her scent at being so close was overpowering. Her touch was sending shivers of pleasure and flashes of memories of just the other night with her scorching through his brain. Did he really have a choice anymore, he didnâ€™t know. All he knew was those lips seemed to hold the promise of both the bliss of heaven or hell but of which he couldnâ€™t be certain. Still, the temptation was too much, the desire too strong and his restraint began to snap one thread at a time as his lips came closer to her. With the break of the final mental string of restraint, his lips embraced hers fully and possibly sealing his fate for the rest of eternityâ€¦<br/><br/>************************************************** *<br/><br/>((OOC: I haven't heard anything from Velvet Grace so for the time being I guess TFV will still be an npc group mostly but not totally under my control until either Velvet or someone else takes the position))<br/><br/>The TFV commander looked over the recent reports about the raid and could only frown at the initial findings. Their loses were much greater than expected and it wasnâ€™t until the last page that he found a glimmer of good new: the had captured two mages. One had tried to fight some agents in an alleyway but was eventually subdued. The other one had tried to sneak in amongst a bunch of agents but his lack of an ID chip gave him a way and he was captured slightly more smoothly than the other mage. It was then that the commander got an idea to possibly even the odds in this conflict.<br/><br/>Now a couple hours later he was waiting on the results of the mind wipes using chemicals TFV perfected for removing memory of their presence from the public though they still require injection. If all went well then they would have two powerful weapons in their hands. For now things were looking well for the first subject and all that was left was to wait and see how the second one turned out as wellâ€¦
