The dust settled as he entered yet another condemned club. He could see the neon sign hanging by a small chain from atop the bar. The thought of 'Yeah this is the place all right. No one's going to be scouting after us here.' soared through his head as each of the jumbled memories in his head. As Lars looked around the building, he found a mostly untarnished stool which he promptly dragged to the bar. From the bathroom, he grabbed a rather large piece of a broken pane of glass. He carried it towards the front of the bartender's rack then proceeded to walk back to the safety of his stool. "We have to talk. What are you?" The shadowy figure that he saw in the lane responded with a fit of glee. Eager to make such acquaintance with the tasty morsel that had come to be his vessel. "You're master. The very thing that brings you unimaginable joy.... An entity timeless, wrought in the desires of the human hea—" In the midst of its speech, Lars sighed and interrupted him. There was no time for this..., dramatic entrance. They were sitting in the middle of a fucking collapsing bar for god's sake. "You don't 'own' me. Spare me, if I wanted to die of boredom then I would've stayed at the lab. One word answers." "Gah, mortals and their impatience. I am Lust." "So..., Like a god of lust or?" "Just lust." Out of every single thing that could have inhabited Lars body, something that would make him more error-prone was at the very bottom of the list. He stood for a moment then laugh, scrutinizing the beast inside of him. "I hear your thoughts, fool. Just you wait until I give you a glimpse of my true power. Until then you must wait disbeliever."

It had been almost a week since she her had ‘escaped’ from the facility. She hadn’t been allowed to leave, not officially. But after her encounter with 001-LAR she had claimed to be in need of a small bit of time away from the lab. She had signed the paperwork and then left the building, taking important documentation with her. She had found out about his name, the name he had held before he became a subject. Lucius A. Ravenhart. And with that she had figured out a lot more about him. That was the good thing about soldiers. Their information was easy for her to acces. She learned of his home town, his parents, his previous relationships.. everything about the lives of these volunteer soldiers was open knowledge for those who knew how to acces it. She had gone to his home town first as it didn’t seem far away and from there she had simply followed the rumors. If only there was some way for her to track him.. to find him. If she could convince him to come back to the lab with her.. She checked her glovebox for the gun that she had brought. It was still there. She was chasing a needle in a goddamn haystack, but she was going to find him.. @Cast In Stone

The dossier on the subjects case files were overly extensive. Lucius's mother had passed away whenever he was nine in a fatal car wreck leaving him to live with his father. His father, Wren Ravenhart, was a distinguished serviceman for the Green Berets. Twelve medals and retirement as a Full-Bird Colonel. The dossier said that Lucius and Wren had a very good relationship, and that even after most of his memories from childhood were taken away, Lucius still made an effort to call his father. Despite having no previous girlfriends on record, the dossier does state that he was show an aptitude for talking with women but was too preoccupied by service to commit to anything. From the time the time he was 9, Lars had been training as that's the only way his father knew how to raise a child. He was a good little soldier, and was now free with 25 years of experience. Of course the first thing that Lucius did was call his father and tell him what happened. His father was disappointed, but understood completely. That's why he kept him on the phone longe enough to use a "GPS relocate" program. Now all he had to do was wait for whichever Fed would come see him first.

She was still driving around when suddenly her phone would ping her. She looked to the side and saw it was GPS ping and instantly pulled up to the side of the road. She grabbed her phone and opened the application and stared at it. “Bingo..” she said softly to herself, a smile creeping into her face. She looked at the map. It wasn’t even far from her. She quickly put the phone away again and pulled the car out of the place she had parked it. She wasn’t the only person who would get that ping. If anything, that ping was meant for anyone but her, but she had managed to get acces to it. Turns out that getting acces to these things from outside the CIA was impossible, but when you were on the inside. It was a lot easier. She pushed the speed limits, grumbled at every single red sign before she finally got to the location that the ping was at. She stared down at the abandoned building in front of her. Looking around the area it wasn’t the only one. There was a sign at the entrance of the parking lot that said that it was forbidden to trespass, but in that moment she would not care. Seemed like they were getting ready to abolish it and create a new mall in it’s place. She took a deep breath and then reached into the glovebox for her gun. She checked if it was loaded and then checked if the safety was in place. She got out of the car and hooked it in her pants at the small of her back. She was sure 001-LAR would recognize her. She had worked on his case long enough. She couldn’t just rush in there without an ability to protect herself. Even if whatever was happening to him had not made him more dangerous.. he used to be a soldier and she was just a scientist. She carefully made her way into the building, looking around every corner, trying to be as quiet as she could. One hand on her gun, ready to draw it if she needed to. @Cast In Stone

The resident entity that inhabited him sunk from the mirror as it heard the scientists footsteps. 'You are not alone, Lucius.' The man kept his hands on the bar, and dropped his duffel bag, scooting it to the side. There was no need for him to put up a fight at this time. Instead, the tall grey man set out two shot glasses and poured a whiskey into each. He listen to the quiet footsteps as they went from corner to corner checking out each nook and cranny. They were so faint that had the demon not alerted him then she probably wouldn't snuck up on him. Lucius decided to turn a blind eye towards the noise. He kept his back to the bar as her eyesight found him there. The duffel bag was around a meter away from him and partially opened. The assault rifle and magazine were nested firmly inside which meant that the pistol was probably on his person. Considering that Lucius has no obvious belt to holster the weapon with a simple amount of deduction, it would be reasonable for Brooke to assume it was on the bar in front of him. The only other noticeable that 001-LAR did was whistle. That was something that he always did during testing. Despite being rather charming as he was a kind man, he had a penchant for whistling. This time he was whistling 'Twisted Nerve'which turned the abandoned atmosphere of the club into a moderately creepy dystopian feel. He tapped the magazine from his pistol against the bar with each quarter note of the song to keep the beat steady. Swaying back and forth to the music as he continued to act blissfully unaware of his surrounds in an effort to make her think that he was drunk.

Even from her position, he was big for a man. Standing tall around 188 cm, Lucius was easily the tallest and most physically fit of all the test subjects. His current apparel was a tight fitting black tee-shirt and cargo pants which was typical from an ex-soldier. His hair glowed faintly in the dark as if to compliment his size. He had broad shoulders and muscular arms. Even the lines on the back of his shirt seem to point out that his shoulder-blades and spine were in peek condition. This was the kind of man who most people wanted to have on their side from the beginning of a fight to the end.

The whole time that she was exploring she could feel her heart racing in her chest. She cursed at herself. Why was she nervous? Well, why wouldn’t she be? She was after someone the CIA had deemed dangerous. After a man who could most likely break in half without even trying twice. A small and slim woman up against a man with muscles that anyone would be jealous off. And eventually she found him, his back turned towards her. He was whistling. He always whistled.. and somehow it had always been something that had made her nervous. Even more now.. he had been whistling when he had knocked her out during the field test.. Her eyes scanned the area around him, seeing the bag with rifles and that did nothing to still her. She pulled out the gun and took of the safety, but kept her finger away from the trigger as she pointed it at him. She tried to keep her hands steady, but the end of the gun was shaking, no matter how hard she tried to keep it steady. To him it would be clear that she was not used to actually handling a gun. Besides that she didn’t look intimidating at all. Her dark brown hair was up in a ponytail at the back of her head. She was wearing a pair of heigh waisted jeans and a green blouse that was tucked into it. She walked a small bit closer, ready for him to notice her, but he never seemed too. She swallowed the lump in her throat. She was quickly reminded of just how much bigger then her he was. Both in height and width. But she could not back down now. “001-LAR.” She then said out his subject name. “This is a civilian arrest.. I need you to come with me back to the lab.” She said. @Cast In Stone

He didn't even turn to face her. He kept his hands in front of him as he mulled about how to deal with the situation, and after a second or two after hearing the gulp. The whistling stopped as he started to talk. He had a low voice something akin to southern accent with just a hint of midwestern. His dossier said he had been raised in Kansas-Oklahoma border . "How would it feel, do you think? Pulling that trigger. What would you say to your family? Could you sleep after it? And the blood, human body has five whole liters. Figure that you're more scared of your own gun than you are of me. Take a seat. Half a drink, lighten up. I'm not going to hurt you, but I'm not going back. Not yet." From her voice she just a meter or two from behind him. He almost laugh thinking about his last moments being to a scared woman with a gun behind his back. That would look great on a tombstone: 'Survived 7 tours, 4 deployments, won 11 medals died shot in the back by someone who can't hold a gun straight'. Then it struck him in the center of his core, he knew that voice. That was the woman that he got the key-card from. "16 Hours of accrued leave every month. 48 hours of holiday every year. 240 hours every year vacation. $84,600 at GS-12 pay. All that time off and you were forced to live on that base. At least once every month for around two weeks, you could go home to your family. Of course, you had to sign that NDA. Pretty sweet gig for a pretty sweet lady." The red and black striped keycard was in his hand as he spoke to her. When his voice ended, he yawned for a moment then looked back at her. She could finally see those glowing beautiful yellow eyes A new mark on his head had formed in the shape of a sun and his face had been scarred from the very last experiment leaving glowing tear marks at the ducts of his eyes towards the side of his head. It was cruel, as least in his head, that the volunteers could never leave the base or maintain outside communications. _

He left his pistol in front of him as he spun around in his chair slowly to face her. His foot caught another bar stool as it drug across the concrete floor of the club. He left the stool go as it skipped across the room landing directly in front of her feet, still facing up. There was an air of silence for a moment as he let his eyes wonder up and down her body. "001-LAR. Huh, Lucius or Lars. Doesn't matter just don't use that designation. I apologize for escaping so abruptly,. Trust me, I'd normally take a woman of your stature out on a date before I take her breath away. I was in a hurry, you see. Am I so aggresive now that you need that thing pointed at me? Fitting we'd end up at a club though. I suppose. Come on, before you 'take me in', let's a chance to talk. And where are your handcuffs, o' civilian officer. How're you going to restraint me and stop me from escaping?"

The moment he started to talk about her actually shooting him she knew that she could never pull that trigger. The end of the gun shaking even more even if she so desperately wanted to stay steady. He offered her a seat, but there as no way that she was taking it. That feeling only became worse when he recognized her voice. She had thought that she was the only one who knew much about him, but he was quickly proving that she was no stranger to him either. He knew more then she cared him too and it only made her want to lower that gun even less, even if she couldn’t shoot. “You knocked me out..” she said to him as he started to get jokey, claiming to not hurt her. She still had a bruise at the back of her head from where he had elbowed her. “All because you wanted my keycard, so don’t claim to have care about that.” She said. He turned around then and she couldn’t help but take a step back from him. His eyes were so piercing and it honestly took her breath away. As he mentioned the handcuffs she couldn’t help but press her lips together. “I didn’t think that far..” she hadn’t. She had never truly believed she would find him. “And to answer your question. No, I don’t trust you.” She said still not having lowered that gun. “So if you want to talk, the talk. But I am not sitting down.” She said, trying to sound more sure of herself then she was. @Cast In Stone

"Suit yourself. I doubt you'd give up your entire life on the whims of an experiment. Honestly, I don't blame you after all. I suppose I was a bit harsh on the judgement, but you see if I hadn't done that and just stolen your keycard...Well then you'd have been out of a job. While I do know that neglect gets you court-marshaled, I also know that if your prisoner escapes after incapacitating you then you'd at least have a Nine to Five to go back to. What are you on? Administrative leave? Doctor ordered medical leave? Surely, the labcoats didn't just send you." He leaned back lazily on the bar as he gripped the pistol next to him, but she could see it was by the muzzle and not the handle. It was a beautiful silver color with a cherry wood handle, and the trigger was gold, presumably twenty-four carat. The letters LAR were engraved against the wood in a flowing calligraphy. She noticed that the magazine was not in the gun, but there was the possibility of a singly chambered round. Lars wanted her to see it. He wanted so desperately for her to see the beauty of his gun that he had earned after so many campaigns. However, it was up to her to appreciate it and after all she was a labcoat. How could see have time to admire such a beautiful weapon when most of her time was stuck behind a desk. He slowly took a silk wrap from his cargo pocket and folded the gun carefully into it before putting it back against the table. ".45 caliber. Colt 1911 awarded to me after saving twenty-three servicemen from an advancing enemy presence. Nominated for the medal of honor twice, declined twice. Earned the Congressional Gold Medal instead. Asked to take part in a secret government experiment as a security officer. I accepted, next week I woke up in a gown. I guess its customary to lie to your experiments, but you wouldn't know that." *He bit his lip then sighed and threw his hands into the air. It was frustration that he could never talk to anyone besides a simple 'Yes sir' a
21:52
nd 'No Ma'am'. He hadn't seen sunlight in almost a year. It was like he growing up in a prison, and he did anything wrong. For a long while, he felt that it was punishment for killing those people in the name of service. Eighty-four men that are doomed never to see their family, but after the third year in containment. He just had to get out, or he'd go insane. 'Tell her' The voice in his head screamed, and he just submitted to it.* "Since even though you watched us, day in and day out...Well you never stopped to ask our stories. You just looked at the dossier. At my file, that's all you needed, right? So you're gonna sit there high and mighty, talking to the man that your bosses coerced into being a labrat. I bet you still believe half of us were volunteered? Arden from Block-8? You might not remember him, he was the tall, blonde one. He was a serial murderer from Georgia State Penitentiary. Acting service career of nine months, he volunteered to be a humanitarian aide for this place not a guinea pig. So tell me, coat...Have you ever just woken up somewhere strange? Even after I elbowed you, you were in the safety of a medical bay. My 'room' there was pitch black. Isn't it customary to what was the term...Aah, 'Encourage the growth of powers by the use of umbral non-light sources. For up to 48 hours.' That was the last thing I heard for two days."

She had been about to answer him when he reached for his gun and she just jumped. The gun that had been slowly sliding down a bit was now once more shakily aimed at his chest. She watched him grab it by the muzzle. It was a beautiful gun. Even if she didn’t understand it, she did see that it wasn’t just a gun. But in that moment she was to on edge to appreciate it. That was till he told the story of how he had gotten it. A military award.. she would imagine that he was quite proud of that. No wonder it shone so brightly against the dim lighting in the building. That was until he suddenly started to talk about his time in the lab. Her eyes went back to meet up with his eyes as she watched the emotions playing in it. That gun slowly started to lower again, no longer aimed at anything, except maybe the very tip of his toes. Was that true? Is that how they were treated? She had always been told that the soldiers in the program volunteered. That any experiment they went through was approved by the person themselves. So her eyebrows couldn’t help but knit together in slight confusion as he said those things. “You are lying..” she said softly, because the only other explanation was that she had been part of a program that captured people against their will, subjected them to torture without their consent. “I..” she stammered. “They never allow us to talk to you.” She then said, needing to at least defend herself. “I am a data analyst. They want me to see data and process it. To find patterns in it and to predict the next steps.” She explained to him. “You volunteered.. I saw your contract..” @Cast In Stone

He got up and slowly walked towards his duffel, pushing the assault rifle to the side. She could see him pull out a i-phone. He thumbed through the picture then turned to her with a grimace on his face. He had found the contract that he had signed, as it was customary of him to make a PDF copy of anything that he received. 'You want something concrete, you keep a file', Man his father would be so proud of him right now if he had just been able to convince him. "There. Contract: Lucius Alden Ravenheart. Position: Chief Security Office. Code Clearance 5. Salary $64,500. Promotion after first year, promotion after completion of C7 training. Containment Specialist for..." He waved his hands over the phone as if he were mad at the word, tossing it to her. His eyes dulled for a moment as he just scoffed at her naivety. 'This is how they rope innocent people into being part of something that they hate. Suppose that's the freedom that I fought for though.' His eyes turned back to her to watch as she read the innocuous contract. Page after page with the only part about the 'experiment' being the site location. "Waivers? Didn't see a damn one, coat. Do you think that I'd consent to being placed in a dark room for 48 hours? How about being assigned to the bunker under the ground? This is my first time above ground level in let's see? 340 days? 350 days? I lost count after I was subjected to 'Deep Neural Stimulation'..That, heh, Deep Neural. They needed a broken slate so they could get this...This FUCKING thing in my head. Then they don't know what to do with me, so they're gonna send me to the same place that they sent Eddie. Fuck, and no one ever comes back from there. So yeah, sure I'll go back but not until I live a bit more. Because right now, I look like a fucking monster. I gave my life in service, and for once. I'd like a little time to myself. Are you going to take that away from me? Are you going to be my jailer again?"
22:42
His face was broken by a stream of tears as they glowed in the dim lighting of the club. He went for the handkerchief that he wrapped the .45 in as it scuffed against the bar table. He turned back to the bar letting his emotions get the better of him. The voice in his head now laughing maniacally as the man broke just a slight bit more. 'Told you Mortal. That you're broken. Deep down, you know it.' Brooke could hear the faintest almost child-like "Go away." Even though it wasn't directed at her, she could see that this was the result of her 'data-analysis'. This man had been severely traumatized by all of the experiments that he had 'volunteered' for. At least, he hadn't lost his humanity because he had the means and ability to kill her, but instead he chose to just elbow her in the back of the head enough to leave a bruise and no permanent damage.

She caught that phone out of the air, even if she treated it like it burning hot for a second before actually looking over the pages. Her blue eyes going from left to right to read over the passages. This wasn’t the contract that she had seen in his files.. it was different. The size of the file was the same, even the size of the paragraphs, but the words were different. Had she really been fed a lie? It wasn’t till he started to shout at her that she once more started to put distance between them. “Don’t shout at me..” she tried, but he was to emotional. And she just watched him then as h suddenly seemed to break down right in front of her. How he turned away from her and saw his massive shoulder shook under sobbing breaths. She let the gun lower to the floor completely then and just watched him for a moment. She didn’t know what to do. Her kind soul telling her to go over there and comfort him, but she was still scared. “They are after you..” she said then. “They got the same ping that led me here. It won’t take them long before they find you.” She observed his reactions. “But something tells me you know that.. that you are not dumb enough to lead them here without knowing.” She paused and put the gun’s safety back on and let it sit in one hand instead of both. “What were you trying to do?” @Cast In Stone

He padded himself, stowed his breath then turned to her with a renewed vigor. 'That's right be a good soldier, tell her the mission.' He shook his head, but it kept getting louder and louder inside of his head. Why wouldn't it just stop? It just kept pounding, aching he finally raised his hands and relented. He spoke with a careful dedication as if he had put a lot of thought into it. His face grew a shade darker for a moment. "I was going to go back. I can't exactly live like this. Figured, I made the ping after I visited all my old buddy's graves. I had to get some stuff off my chest, say my goodbyes. I made sure to go at night and only stay in abandoned houses or my tent. Figured, that being out of sight wouldn't draw attention to the project. I just really wanted to see the sun again before heading back to grindstone, ya know? What else could I do? What would you do if you knew that in the next experiment that you're just going to die? I—I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm not mad at you, I.. I'm just tired of it all." He looked back at the bar then sighed for a moment, he pointed to the far end where he had dragged a ruined table back to it's spot, and set up four chairs. "I lost my first ever poker game right there. Domino, he was our squad captain. Rigged the damn cards. Because I lost, they made me get a lap dance from a stripper. Figured it would help me chill out. Spent the night with a stranger that I never knew. And over there? —He pointed to the bathrooms where the men's door used to be.—there I held my boy's, Geronimo, long ass brown hair out of his face while he was getting plastered over his divorce. Right here where I am, this was where my dad took me whenever I turned twenty one to get my first shot ever. Figure, that I had a lot of good memories here, and that it wouldn't be a bad last moment before I go back to Hell. I've earned that at least."
23:18
He left his shoulders sink as he leaned back against the bar looking directly at her with those piercing golden eyes. There was no malice in them, just a man trying to get his last thoughts in before being taken back. He turned to her and stared for a moment, letting her watch his eyes waltz up and down her body. The heat from his gaze was almost tangible in the air as his mind meandered along. Now that his mood was mostly right, he decided to give her at least a small compliment "Of course, I was prepared to kill anyone who tried to shorten my time here, but honestly how could I kill such a beautiful woman? Beautiful brown hair, Steely Blue Eyes. It'd be a waste. Ah, if I saw you before this mess, I'd probably be the kind of sleeze to buy all of your drinks at this kind of bar."

She couldn’t help but have her fear softening as he talked about his past, about what he had been before this. She suddenly realized the strange truth.. she had never seen him as a human being. Not because she didn’t believe that he had feelings, or that he was worth any less then anyone else. No.. she had done it protect herself. She had done it so she could analyze those numbers that spoke about his pain and torture. Those numbers that had always clearly showed his suffering. Perhaps that was why they had never been allowed to speak to him. Because now that she heard his words, she didn’t think she could go back to that. She didn’t even know what to say to him before those eyes lifted up to hers. She would never not be stunned by the stunning golden amber that they showed. They were beautiful and so deep that she felt she could get lost in them. And then out of the blue he complimented her. She couldn’t help but let a small smile tug at the corners of her lips. She looked over to that chair and tables that he had sat up and then she let out a deep breath that had been building up in her lungs ever since she walked in there. “I might have let you..” she said back. She walked over to him, even if she still kept her distance a little bit. She grabbed one of the shots that had been on that bar since the very start, the drink that he had invited her to before. In a smooth motion the lifted it to her lips and drank it down. As she placed the shot glass back on the bar upside down she couldn’t help but couch slightly at the burn. It had been a long time since she drank, let alone took shots. Her eyes watering slightly. “God.. that’s bad.” @Cast In Stone

He smirked as the glass pressed against her lips that eased his own tension. The being inside of his head sneered, 'I know better than you. Make a move. Use your power' His eyes widen before he laughed at the being and also at her own exclamation. God, he remember the time that this dirty old whiskey would make him cough so hard. It went down like motor oil and tasted like piss. "Yeah, the burn reminds you that you're still a human. Good thing too, now I know you're not a monster. That shit will put hairs on the back of a cloud, swear to God. So, can I take that a gesture of good will? Because last time a woman held a gun to my chest, I had to get stitches on my kidney. It wasn't a fun time. And don't 'Oh-I-can't-shoot-anyone.' because that's the most dangerous kind of person. One little slip and BAM. I would've been scared, cept you never racked the slide. So, heh you couldn't have shot me without a chambered round and an engaged firing pen." He entertained the thought of the two of them in his head for a moment with closed eyes before shaking his head. His hand darted under his hair as he spread his stance out a little more. "And you? Uhm, well shit. I guess I never really did get your name. God, uhm do you have any fond memories in a bar like this? Or were you more of a goody-two shoes. You look like an academic girl. The kind who quietly watches from the back of a room. Figure that's why you became a Data Analyst because you couldn't stand up for yourself either because you weren't confident or were too shy. And considering the shaking gun, I'm thinking shy."

It took a long time before she felt like she could even just talk again. The burn in the throat lingering for such a long time and her mouth salivating in an attempt to ease it. It was only when he started to talk about the gun that she turned towards him with a look of ‘are you kidding me’ written all over it. “That’s not.. I didn’t..” she stammered. “I never learned to shoot..” she then admitted, the very slightest of redness on her cheeks. Bastard.. he could have at least pretended like she had gotten it right. She wiped at her eyes, trying to get the tears out of them from coughing before she turned to him. There was still distance between them, but slowly she was starting to feel like he would not kill her. “You are not completely wrong.” She said to him as he guessed that she was shy. She had been, especially during her younger years. It hadn’t been till she actually entered the industry and had needed to deal with a men invested workspace that she had started to become more confident and assertive. She had no choice, shy women were eaten alive in her field of work. Especially the ones that were considered attractive like her. “I usually was in the back. Observing people.” She admitted. “I would say I wasn’t always this pretty, but I doubt you would believe me. Nobody does. But I was the girl with braces, never knew what to do with her hair, thick brimmed glasses that hid away most of my face. I think part of me didn’t want to stand out back then.” She admitted. “So I watched others have fun, and nurse my drink in a corner.” @Cast In Stone

Are you kidding me? So you're telling me—" It took a moment for his brain to process that sentence. His mouth went agape, even his saliva glowed faintly in the dark as she could see a string or two of it in the midst of his mouth. He almost burst out laughing as he flushed in the face. God that would've made the tombstone even worse, 'Lucian Ravenheart: Death By Novice Shooter'. His eyes turned into a crescent as he smile widely. "I'll teach you to be the best shot in the whole office, if you'd like. Figure most of the coats, think that guns are repulsive and unsightly. But they're so much more than that. You respect 'em and they'll save your life time and time again.—I could tell that you were the kind of girl that watched...Mmm, I bet I could break your shell. You should call into your supervisor and tell you've caught me. That I flew to Greenland and that'll be about a month until we're back. Fuck the tracer, say it was a trick. And let's just take an actual vacation. Why not? You're about the only person that I can actually be around without them gasping and shouting, 'He's the devil'. Hide the kids." He thought about being on the lakefront of Lake Tahoe, just enjoying a beer with his friends. The memory was interrupted by the flash of the IED that had taken Domino's life. The crack of the bullet that met Geronimo's fate. How he'd been the last survivor of the Green Beret Squad 119A, The Crows. His eyes opened widely and he counted from 100 backwards in his head as the haze of the moment simmered down. "So, any family? Friends? This is a time to be nostalgic at least. Good memories packed behind blue eyes?"

“Shut up..” she said softly though his whole responds to her never having shot before was starting to annoy her just a little bit. All he did was making fun of her already. Seems like he had already figured out what a joke she was. Even in her own work space she was just the data analyst. She was called a ‘scientist’ but she often wondered how true that title really was. “I think I am cured from guns for a little while..” she breathed out as he offered to teach. Just the thought of having shot him. Of seeing the five litres of blood on the floor as he had said. She hated it, was disgusted by it. As he spoke about her calling in and saying that she captured him she couldn’t help but chuckle at him. “Yeah.. no way. I am not supposed to go after you. I am not even supposed to be out of this specific area that they gave me permission to ‘vacation’ at. Yet I left. I might be almost as much of a fugutive then you are.” She spoke, before quickly changing her mind. “No, sorry, never mind. I am not.” They were after him to kill him after all. She let that stay between a bit, neither of them saying anything. She rolled the shot glass between her hands, completely missing the inner turmoil that went across his features. As he asked about her family she shook her brain. “No friends. It is hard to make friends in my line of work. I am almost just as stuck at the facility as you are.” She explained, though this time it didn’t feel like she was trying to sound like a victim. “As for family.. I am an only child. My father passed away when I was four. He got in a car accident. My mom then worked her ass off to pay for my college and my dreams of becoming this big shot scientist. She only managed to take it easy after I started to wreck up scholarships.” She paused a second. “She got early onset dementia. Stated about five years ago. She barely has any moments where she is lucid anymore. When I visit, she either doesn’t remember me at all, or she only sees this small girl tha

"I think it was eight or nine when my mom passed and my dad took me under his wing. Mom was terminal stomach cancer, and I went to the hospital a lot. Since the old man was retired beret, like me, he had to move around a lot. Withdrew me from public schools that November. Homeschooled me while we were traveling from house to house. I was his little soldier, so this has been my life for a long time. Old Man's my only friend now. I had some buddies in the force, because you either make friends or die. Well, they're all gone now so it just leaves me." He uncorked the whiskey bottle again as he poured himself another gleaming shot of that putrid liquid. He let it on the table for her to get another shot if she wanted one. The shot went down slowly as he racked it back and forth. 'Why am I still drinking this? It tastes like shit.' Of course the entity had to chime in at the same moment 'Because you don't want to be you. Only fools drink.' Lucius ignored him at the moment then turned to her. "So whenever we first made it out on our own, I was the strange one. I didn't really have a home life. No attachments, just pure bred killer. Hell, I think my mother was the only girl that I knew until Saint Croix? Maybe until Costa Rice. Always kept around the guys and Dad never remarried. Lost his heart with Mom, I guess. I have no idea what it's like with a family member forgetting who you are and how much that you've achieved. I know if I was your family then I'd be proud to have an accomplished young woman like yourself as a family member. If she hasn't told you then I will, you are a hell of a lot better than half of them out there. Maybe three fourths, even now you're lookin' a monster like me and thinking 'Geez, he's not so bad' That's more than half of the other coats said. Didn't even blink once before assigning me a death sentence."

'You talk too much, fool. Shut up and kiss her.' ran through his head like lightning as the demon cackled at the small talk. He grimaced then turn to Brooke for a moment with a smug look. His hands fumbled around his hair as he coursed the thought through his head. He opened his mouth and then asked a simple question. "So are you interested in known what your research did, what power it gave me?"

“I am sorry that you lost your mom.” She said to him and she meant it. She had been so young when she had lost her father, yet she still remembered him sometimes. Little tiny memories that were somewhere deep in her mind. It struck her how similar they both were, at least a little bit. They lost a parent early on in their lives, were outcasts during their following years and both had tried to become accomplished after. And both of them had ended up in this rickety bar. The irony of it. As he spoke about being proud of her she couldn’t help but press her lips together. He didn’t know how much she wanted to hear that from her mother. “She was a big part of the reason why I took this job.” She admitted then. “I came not long before you did. So about three years ago. It had been two year into the alzheimer wrecking her brain. I had just agreed to putting her in a nursing home when the opportunity came to me. It would put me away from her, would force me to spend all my time at the facility. In that moment it felt almost like freedom. After caring for her for so long, seeing her deteriorate before my own eyes, I could let someone else do it. So I took the job. Secret CIA scientist or whatever my official title is.” She chuckled softly. “But I was so wrong. I have not spend a moment in these past three years not feeling guilty about leaving her there. Yet every time I have gone back, it just breaks my heart in two to be there.” Once she finished she reached for that bottle and poured herself another shot, needing something to distract her brain from all those memories. She brought the glass to her lips and let it glide down her throat. Once more she was reduced to coughing and her eyes watering. “Ooh god.. It doesn’t get better either..” she said between coughs before he suddenly asked her if she was interested in his powers. She would look his way and nodded at him. Anything to distract her right now. @Cast In Stone

'I'm taking over.' Lucius thought, 'Oh god please don't'. "Amuse me, mortal.' He smirked then decided to indulge the demon a little at least. His fingers were rough to the touch, as he spent years training with hand to hand combat. That didn't take away the feel of security that would give to anyone who were to hold them. These hands just barely surfaced over arm as a wave of euphoria rushed through her body. It felt like her veins had been full of ice, and the heat from his touch thawed her out complete. As if on queue, he stood up and dipped her down letting their lips intertwine. Now she could see those beautiful golden eyes peering into her own. Warmth. There was no other proper word to describe it as the two's tongue slowly dipped across the others. Every small motion being responded to like a beautiful dance. As the moment progressed, the brunt of his hand moved down her back, waltzing slowly down as her eyes stayed directly on his. She could feel his hand grope her posterior, with a firm grasp.At that moment, she could smell his cologne how faint the odor and how she'd have to be so close to even get the slightest whiff of it's oaken scent. His stature handled her easily as if she were weightless. In Lucius's grasp, she was floating in an cloud of euphoria with nothing more than those beautiful glowing eyes. Even his saliva tasted like it was meant to be in her mouth, like some kind of sweet candy. It was a rare moment where the setting would fade away and just the two of them would stand there basking in each other's radiance. The kiss ended slowly as a stream of that glowing drool seeped out from the corners of her mouth. His eyes sharpened as they made contract with her steely blue gaze. He thought about letting her come to her senses, but the demon in his head screamed, 'now'. His voice got a lower more sultry pitch as he whispered directly into her ear.
02:25
"Strip. Let me show you everything. That's an order." His lips grazed gently along the side of her neck trailing down with his tongue leaving streaks of shimmering gold. His hands cupped her rear harder, pulling her effortlessly onto the counter of the bar. Along longing kiss, this one more demanding as he tongue curled around her own. Even in the heat of the moment, he found a way to grin slightly as he whispered another round of words this time sweet, into her ear. "Don't you want to see the marks from my lips covering your body? To feel bliss throughout every nerve in your body? To feel my strong hands pinning you over this bar. I know it's crossed your mind. The way your toes would curl as nothing more than a mess is left in our wake. No one would know. Just me and you. Relax. Become mine, if only for an hour."

At first his touch had surprised her, but that feeling only lasted for a mere second as she felt that sudden warmth travel through her. It originated from her arm, but it soon dances it’s way into every part of her body, settling into the very core of her. The feeling alone was so intense that a deep breathy gasp escaped her mouth from it. A gasp that ended to soon as his lips captures hers, her mouth having already been opened, giving him entrance into it. She found herself kissing him back even if she was not sure why. Her mind feeling strangely foggy, as if those two shots of alcohol had suddenly caught up to her and tripled in volume. Those hands traveling over her body only deepening her breath and added to the heat that was already starting to build fast. The kiss ended and all she could do was look him in his eyes as she caught her breath. This wasn’t like her at all. Normally she would have pushed him away, she might even have slapped him. She would have told him to get off her. So why wasn’t she? Why was she just sitting there taking it? His demanding words reached her ears and the first responds in her mind was No fucking way, yet her actions spoke of something different. Because as soon as he had pulled her into that counter her fingers had landed on her buttons and were starting to undo the them. She started at the top, even if her fingers were so shaky that it took her a small moment to actually get them opened up. Underneath was a light blue bra with black lace detailing. She kissed him back again, her fingers never stopping to open those buttons till she reached the last one, pulling the blouse out of her jeans and pulling them off her shoulders. “Become mine, if only for an hour.” No. “Yes..” @Cast In Stone

Those golden eyes kept their stare as each moment that she felt Lucius's gaze upon her drove that warm, euphoric drug-like feeling over her body. His hand slowly went to her back as they gently undid each hook of her bra. His gaze only faltered to place kisses along her collar and breast. Each one a deep red mark as the pop of his suction marked every inch of her. "Feel more, open yourself. Let my warmth trickle down you like rain on a hot summer's day. Fall deep into the sound of my voice." There it was, the same feeling as before as his lips found their way to her breast, teasing and gently caressing then with slow licks and prods. His tongue trailed over her abdomen, under her breast then circled over her exposed nipple. A moment of shock went through her body as electric pleasure far more than that of a tongue, would spread through her. Those beautiful golden eyes stare up from below her as his grin widens. She could feel his teeth slowly press over the nub so gently that the barest hint of it would spike her pleasure. Just as if she were on the verge of getting used to it, he would suck rather hard against her. "Slowly, touch yourself. Be good for me, unzip yourself. Don't take off your jeans. You're not allowed to touch your beautiful petals directly, that's reserved for my tongue, do you understand?"

It didn’t take long for her to get lost in it. She had her eyes closed and her head whipped back. The part of her that was agains this was quickly fading, the voice slowly sinking into the very depth of her where she could no longer make sense of what it wanted. Instead the cloudiness that he had caused was taking over, becoming thicker, till the only thing that she could make out was the intensity of all the feelings that were going through her. Not even worried anymore about what was happening to her. It didn’t take long at all for her nipple to harden underneath him, her back already arching underneath him over that bartop. Soft moans running from her mouth every time he hit any spot on her that was even slightly sensitive. The gnawing feeling between her legs growing hotter and wetter almost with the second. This time at his demand there was no hesitation left in her. “I understand.” She said into the air in breathy words. Her hands going down to the button of her jeans, undoing it and then zipping down her jeans. She then placed her hands over the jeans, finding the space between her legs. The moment her hands reached her sex she moaned out. God.. she was sensitive already, even though the thick material of her jeans. Somehow it did nothing to satiate that needing that was building inside of her, if anything it made it worse. Her hips moving into that hand, trying to increase the friction. @Cast In Stone

There was a string of his saliva that trailed from her breast to her neck as he positioned himself to whisper into her ear. 'Yes, tease her.' Lucius's eyes squinted in pleasure as he opened his mouth to barely whisper into her ear. "Look at you beautiful woman. Already marked several times over. The shy girl in the corner is gone now, replaced by the girl who is being taken by a man that everyone wants. Feel that heat rising through your skin? That's how much I want you. No no no, that's how much I need you." His strong hand found it's way to her jeans, tugging them down slowly. Soon her underwear was exposed to him. Lucius licked his lips as that haughty gaze trailed down her body, eventually settling on her sex. A fist wrapped around her panties as the other hand began to tug. The sound of cloth ripping from under her filled her ears as the warm of his tongue pressing into the depth of her folds. Each time that her breath would hike, he'd focus on that spot until he had found every single of her most sensitive spots. He spent his own sweet time exploring every book and cranny inside of her blossoming sex. As his tongue mapped every fold inside of her, his hot breath could be felt at the crest, beating down lightly on the sensitive nub. He retreated his tongue from her only to lightly tap at the hood of her peak before wrapping it around her clitoris.

She had never given herself to a men so easily. She had always prided herself in being the one that was 'hard to get'. Yet here she was. Bend backwards over a bar top by someone she barely knew, listening to his every demand over her body. Lost in the trance of what he called his need for her. Even as her panties were being ripped to shreds there came no protest from her side. If anything he lips presses together and her throat let out a soft sound of anticipation at the promise of his tongue. A tongue that soon found her and send a jolt through her. "Ooh, fuck.." she moaned out as she really let herself fall back into the bar top. Her head hanging off. If she were to open her eyes she would stare at the shelf where the most expensive of bottles would have once stared back at her. But her eyes stayed close. She got lost in his rhythm. Lost on his tongue against her most private part. Her hips moving to tell him every single secret spot as he found them. Her thighs trapping him there from time to time as her muscles tensed. And if her hands had not been needed to keep her from falling, they would have surely been grabbing into his hair. @Cast In Stone

He fought with her legs, easily overpowering her small frame as he withdrew his face letting her see the mixture of his golden drool and her fluids fresh on his face. The tinge there was shining, giving a whole new beauty to the ashen color of his face. He smirked for a moment before pressing his neck against hers, his melodic voice still barely more than a whisper for her. "Go ahead, release yourself. I want to feel your spasms against my fingers. Don't worry about the what-if. Feel the moment, feel the warmth building up inside of you. I love the mess you're making." He cupped his hand, spreading the index and pinky finger away from the combined middle and ring finger. He let the golden stream of luminescent drool pad over it before tracing each of her labia's lips. The position of his index finger were on both sides of her groin while the two finger, middle and ring, began to rapidly pummel her burning sex. The wet noise of his fingers going all the way to the knuckle's could be heard from her position. * *It wasn't his speed, although fast, it was the rhythm that he hit those spots that he had so carefully found. Every breathe, every twitch in her body, even the curl of her toes had his attention just so she would feel the maximum pleasure that he could muster with only fingers. If she were to arch her back, he would follow allowing her to feel the consistent rough slapping of his palm as the fingers wetted the table with her juice. "Cum. And be free of my grasp. Go ahead, let it all out."

The moment those fingers entered her she cried out into the air, letting the depth of her voice fill that empty bar, echoing softly of the walla that surrounded them. Her hands gripping deeper into the edge of the bar, both to prevent him from pushed her off as from the pure pleasure that he was producing inside of her. She did indeed arch her back. But all it did was allow to hit even more of those points that he had searched out inside of her. Her sex twitching around him as he moved. She could feel herself dripping down into her ass cheeks into that table. The wet sounds of him pumping into that would normally have embarrassed her, now doing nothing but adding to it. It take long before his relentless fingers working her brought her to that edge that he had ordered her to find. She clamped down around him hard as she tensed up so much that it lifted her rear from the bar and slightly into the air. Silence suddenly filling the air, except for the sound of his fingers between her legs. And then the deep moan of her release filled the space as she slumped down against the bar, panting hard. @Cast In Stone

Lucius hand slowly made it's way out of her as his mind weened her off of the heat slowly. She could feel her body returning to normal with each new breathe bringing a familiar coolness to her skin. The leftover warmth only served to reduce her anxiety of the event. Lucius knew that this was a rare opportunity to let her feel a true suggestion. Something she could neither control or deny herself of. * His grin widened as his fingers approached his mouth, eager to clean up the mess that she had made on them. The taste subtlety drifted through his mind as he prepare for the tongue lashing and possible slap to ensue. It was lightly salty, but overall a magnificent taste which she could see him enjoy from her perch on the bar.* He counted down from ten in his head before speaking with the same voice as before, unlike the dark voiced from their intimacy, "So, do you understand what my power is? Are you satisfied with the fruits of your labor. I know I've cut down your time, but I want permission to go any further. Sober, unabridged permission."

She felt that heat leave her slowly. Every breath she took her mind seemed to be waking up. As if she had been stuck in a deep vivid dream and was only now waking up. Slowly she started to understand where she was, at that rundown bar, with the subject she had studie for three years. He had escaped and she had chased him. She slowly rose herself from the way that she had been on that bar for her eyes to meet with his just in time to see him licking her juices of his fingers. Her cheeks instantly darkened and she closed her legs together. Her eyes a mixture of embarrassment, frustration and the slightest bit of lingering lust. She quickly got off that bar and pulled her jeans back up, grabbing her blouse of the ground and holding it in front of her. In the process she fall over to the floor, her legs way more unsteady then she would have thought. “What happened to just telling me?” She said to him, obviously annoyed. Her body was still humming and the muscles in thighs especially felt so tired. “What even was that..?” She said, not sure she understood what had just happened to her. “What did you do to me..? You only touched me..” @Cast In Stone

His eye now softened in her direction as he pulled himself to the barstool. He mulled over to tell her as if a single sentence would convey exactly what he happened. He parted his dark lips in silence before giving her a better answer then just, 'that's what I do'. "That dream was reality. We spent the last moments experiencing vivid passion with each other. Your building heat, that lust that you feel as you look at me. That's what I control. I make you feel euphoria, something that other people can only replicate with synthetic means. " His hand gripped at her arm as he helped her up. She no longer felt the need to obey him in such a manner, so at least it was selectively usable. "Then I used that lust to intensify your natural pleasure. Hence the mess on the bar. When was the last time that you felt that kind of passion? Your body was very receptive almost as if you were f—. I'm ahead of myself. I can at least ease your tensions if you need. I have an icy-hot pack in my duffel bag."

She almost flinched away from that hand that wanted to grab her, afraid that the same thing would happen, but to her surprise nothing did and he helped her back to her legs. She leaned up against the bar, her legs still feeling unsteady, clutching her wrinkled blouse against her chest. She just looked at him, skeptical about was he was telling her. Yet she had felt it.. even if her mind had been screaming no at her, her body had told him yes. She had given him consent for what he had done to her and she knew that in the moment, she had enjoyed it. God, she felt embarrassed. She tried to wipe the blush of her face, but of course that helped nothing. “Why would they even do that.. how is that usefull in battle? I thought you guys were supposed to be some kind of ghost soldiers.” She said, waving her arm up and down him. Almost unvolutarally her eyes would linger at his hips before they shot back up to him. God, how she wished that last bit of it would also go away, though she refused to admit that it might be herself more then whatever powers that he had. “How does it even work..? You just touch someone and boom! They jump your bones?” She knew that she should have just gotten out of there, but she was still a scientist. And somewhere deep down she was curious, she wanted to know more, she even almost needed to know more. She wanted to know how it worked, what it did. How he had done that. Magic.. just wasn’t something she believed in. @Cast In Stone

"I feel like you did all the time. It never goes away. And whenever I give you part of it, I..—it's hard to explain. It's like a water source and if I want I can pour it on you." His shoulder ascended as he shrugged at the ghost soldier thing as he didn't even know what the purpose of the experiments were. Lucius found himself mulling about that idea. Could he possibly kill a ghost? He had never tried. Either way, he thought about it then decided to go more into detail. "Imagine your mind is like a vase and normally it's half-empty so there's a point where you can jostle the vase around and nothing will spill out. That's where you are right now. I, on the other hand, am like a vase filled to the brim. A mere shake from my side would be enough to send water crashing to the floor." The place was filled with a deep resonant laughter at the phrase, 'they jump your bones'. It was an amusing idea to think about. He turned to the wall as his eye went black for a moment then flashed back to yellow. "I think the idea was to put something useful inside of me and they don't want the one that chose me. It's powerful, but not in the way that the coats really want it to be. My friend that I argue with is the aspect of lust. It holds all of the contained desire of all humanity. It whispers to me all of the time and is the source for my abilities."

Her eyes kind of narrowed on him as he was trying to explain it to her. “You.. you feel like that all the time?” She asked, unsure if she understood him correctly. She couldn’t imagine that, it felt like that would be unbearable. The amount of.. need that had been in her just then. It had been too much. It had made her do things she normally never would have. And if he had not actually brought her a release, she surely would have begged him with all she had to actually give it to her. Either that or just done it herself. The embarrassment that she felt now had only come after. In the moment itself her mind to consumed to even think of the possibility of being shy. Just the thought of it brought a blush back to her face as she brought a hand up to kind of cover it. “How do you even do that..” it was a rethorical question as she she instantly kept her questions coming. “So if you say that you are a vase and you can spill over. Does that mean that after you do.. what you just did.. it is less for a bit? Or does it still stay full all the time?” She asked him. “And does it get worse then that..? Or was that the most you could do?” She didn’t know why she was so curious, but she needed to understand. Even if his answers made her feel strange, she just needed to figure this out. Then her phone pinged and she pulled it from her jeans. She looked down at the text. “Shit..” she said before looking back at him. “There are units really close by. Maybe 10 minutes out at most. I can’t be here with you when they show up..” she said decidedly as she reached for her bra and turned away from him to put it on. “You are going to need to decide what you want to do and be fast about it.” @Cast In Stone

Lars stood back away from her for a moment before thinking about it. He hadn't really done anything since he had this power, so even that was beyond his comprehension. "I know it gets worse, but since I've had this thing in my head. It stays at least at that level. For a while, they disabled the security cameras around my cell entrance. Claimed it was because of maintenance, but the guards had a nasty habit of being around my worst moments to relieve themselves. Eventually, it'll get so bad that I can't control it and everyone in at least ten feet of me becomes like that." He gripped his iphone and sent his backup to his personal computer then stomped on it a few times. His arm reached out for his duffel bag and pistol before turning to her. "Look I'll tell you anything you want to know, okay? I—i just don't want to be taken by a bunch of armed guards like a convict. I'm going to head southwest to a motel called Irish Heights. My room number is 12A, it's not super fancy. You're more than welcome to drop by. Otherwise, I'll be moving on in the morning." Lucius took her a backway and unlocked the service entrance with a key. So she could see the motorcycle that had ridden on. It was a Harley-Davidson Sportster S which was meticulously clean. The plate read, "LUST" appropriately. In one of the satchels was a key with the number 12A on it. "One of two, just in case you get curious. Don't knock, just unlock the door and come right in."

She was kind of stunned as he suddenly started to get out of there and handed her that key. She quickly started to button her blouse back up and tugged it in her shirt. She let him take her arm and pull her along. Her own car still parked near the entrance. She didn't say a word before he was already on that bike and pulling away. Why did she feel like such an idiot around this guy.. yet she clutched the keys in her hand and went to her car. Starting it and pulling up after him. She kept to the speed limit and because of it she made less time then him. Suddenly she saw those cars in front of her and she ducked her head down as she drove past. Their blue and white lights speeding past her. They had been mere minutes out. She hoped Lars didn't get spotted. She considered her options then. Was she going after him? He said he was going to answer her questions.. and she had many. "Fuck it.." she then said and pulled towards the motel. She pulled in and parked her car. Her blouse was still in disarray, she even believe one button was off as it hang of her in a strange way. But she didn't bother now. She went to the door and put the key in. She hesitated for a moment.. but he had said not to knock so she just pushed on and entered. @Cast In Stone

He was sitting at a desk writing a thick parchment bound journal with a Montegrappa Fortuna. It was his gift for making it to the Berets from his father, and definitely a beautiful pen. Of course, that would have been distracting enough, but there was Lucius with his shirt off. He had a few scars which she could tell were from bullets, but other than that. He had a toned, well shaped masculine body. Something that was easy to see in the black tee, but was twice as delightful to see in the flesh. The air conditioning of the room was on full blast leaving a wave of cold air to hit her as the door opened. When she closed the door behind her, he turned on his chair to look at her then smiled. "Glad you could make it, take a seat on the bed. I'm just going to finish writing this letter and then I'll answer a few more questions." If she were to look over her shoulder, she could see his beautiful calligraphy spanning the page which left open. Mostly it detailed the moment that the two shared at the bar. He left her name out of it for both of their sakes. "I have a few other powers that I didn't show you. They're meant for more intimate measures. And I didn't want to drastically overstep my already overstepped bounds."

As she came in she instantly blushed as she saw him sitting there without his shirt on. She bit down on her lips and couldn’t help but let her eyes dance over his chest. The cold air hit her almost instantly and she couldn’t help but almost shiver as it brushed over her skin, causing goosebumps. How was he sitting here shirtless..? As he motioned to the bed she sat down on it and just wrapped her hands around herself a little bit. She wondered if she should ask if they had seen him, but she figured if they had he wouldn’t be sitting there so calmly. She wondered what he was writing.. but it was not her business to pry. She half scoffed at him as he spoke about overstepping her boundaries. “Well, thanks for the consideration this time I guess.” She said to him. His words bringing the memory of the ecstasy that she had felt back to her mind. It made her bring her thighs closer together. Damn him and his Lust powers.. She truly still believed that whatever she was feeling now was his fault as well. “What other powers though..?” She asked then, again her curiosity getting the better of her. “Sorry.. letter first. I will stay quiet.” She then quickly apologized as his pen was still moving over that power. @Cast In Stone

He bit his lips before slowly giving her a detail of the next power that he had discovered while in that dark, lonely cell. He remembered how dank the air was and how stagnant it was. How he just wanted something, anything to draw his mind off of it. He just wanted someone to give an encouraging word, a pat on the back anything. He drew in a deep breath before slowly turning to her. "Tendrils, not visible to the next eye. Eight of them capable of lifting an entire human being. They secrete liquids similar to the ones that a male's sex would. I don't have much control over them, but they are there. Even right now. I can alter certain parts of my body, I've experiment with split tongues...mostly things to make what we experienced back there even more mind-numbing. Of course, you've probably guessed that all of my secretions and bodily fluids are bio-luminescent. I'm assure you found out hypnosis, which is fairly new even to me." The majority of his list were sex-related, as one would expect from a greater entity of lust welling up inside him like some kind of snail in a shell. However the next few parts in the list were why they want to exorcise him, due to how profoundly changing that they could be. Something that could go so very bad in the wrong hands. "I see ghosts. All the time, people who've died. They tell me thinks like I knew what corner you were checking when you were checking them. Most ghosts that I see I can bend to my will, and although they can't really interact with the physical realm, they can provide an alarming source of information. I know what happens during an exorcism, and why so many people don't survive it. I know why the project was made, well at least how it was founded. I didn't know that we were supposed to be ghost hunters in the literal sense. I can also be possessed by a ghost to extract information to a family like a walking seance. It's frightful losing control, that's why I'm not letting the one inside my head take us for

She couldn’t help but listen to his story with both confusion, curiosity and perhaps a bit of disgust. “Tendrils…? Even right now?” She asked him. Her eyes would go to look at her shoulders and around him, but there as nothing there. Of course not.. he said they were invisible. She pointed to the vase then. “Pick that up, I want to see.” She said almost in a demanding way. “And does it hurt to alter your body?” At this point the questions were almost flying of her tongue, her curiosity really getting the better of her. @Cast In Stone

"Oh? The Vase. Let's see. A-..Com—Listen here you round ceramic bastard stay still!" It took him a while of scooting the vase around in circles before it slowly glid into the air. It was still spinning from the tendrils faint from wrapping around it. To prove beyond reasonable doubt that the trick wasn't a farce, Lucius had the vase go upside down on his tendril. For a moment, his eyes clouded before turning back into that bright golden hue. "If you want to, you can feel it. You won't hurt it, and I even the most appropriate one." His voice had a slight whistle to it moreso than ever. She could see a forked tongue appear from the inside of his mouth. Even one of his fingers was a bit more slender, but had an a few centimetres more in length. Lars made it go back to normal before answering her second question with a question. "Did I look like I was in pain? The hue in my eyes, that's a struggle for control. You'll see that a lot. I suffer with him accidentally overstepping his bounds with my mind."

She couldn't believe her eyes. They went wide and the moment he asked if she wanted to feel them she couldn't help herself and got up. She would take his lead and then place her hands on it. The moment she touched it she flinched back, before going back to it again. "That is so strange.." she said almost more to herself. She had always studied things she understood. And even if this program had seemed to concentrate on things she didn't, her department at least had been kept in the dark about this part of it. "That's amazing.." she added to it. She looked over at him as he changed his appearance and she would grab his hand as his fingers had changed and hold it in front of her, just to see them change back again. "Eew.." she said, the weird change in shape looking so unnatural. And then he told her about the ghost and her eyes would go to his face again. All the time? "That must be hard.." she said softly. To see ghosts moving around. She wondered if they asked for his help or if they just simply did his bidding, but somehow this felt like a more sensitive subject to ask questions about. And then he once more spoke about losing control. "What happens when you lose control? Where do you go?" She asked. She had indeed seen that flash in his eyes a few times, had wondered what that was. "So the dark eyes are Lust's eyes?" She asked, again wanting to understand it. @Cast In Stone

"You could imagine my thought when I learn about it by randomly morphing whenever I lost control... Where do I go? Huh, It's like a mansions with a thousand rooms each with a different memory from my past. Each time that I enter into one, I can view it over and over again but in a third person perspective. Like an out of body experience, but I'm trapped inside my own head. After some those experiences, a lot of doors became solid black like they were ripped right out of my head. I think...—I think that's why I have such a hard time maintaining control, because I don't have any of the safe memories. I can't even remember my mother's face even though I've seen pictures of her." He directed his attention to question about the ghosts. He drug his tongue around in his mouth as if to thing about it. He shook his head almost in an effort to calm her mind. IN reality, what he saw the sawn off corpse of a woman who had been dismembered there crying for head. He couldn't do anything to help her so he just had to acknowledge that she wasn't alone. Afterwards, she clipped through the floor and he could continue speaking to Brooke. "A lot of the time it's more than hard. A lot of them are people who don't know where they're going. They wander around aimlessly calling out for someone to help them. In fact that's why I'm keep the air conditioner so high. It's not because I'm hot, it's because they're screaming. It drowns out the noise. If you ever felt a cold wind breathe a chill up your spine, well that's just a ghost who thinks it recognizes you. I've yet to see an angel or demon, but I figure that if I can see ghosts then that's probably not out of the picture."

So that was why the aircondition was on. She looked to the left of her and up at thw unit. It was indeed loud, if it was loud enough to drown our screams.. that she was not sure off. "Doesn't explain why you had to take your shirt off.." she mumbled then, trying to draw the smallest of laughs into that room. She was slowly starting to realize that what they had done to him.. what she had bern part of doing to him.. it wad wrong. It was worse then torture. It had changed his entire being. It had given him constant torment by ghosts, an eternal fight for control with an entity that lived inside him and invisible extra body parts that he didn't seem to fully understand either. She pitied him.. even if she was sure that he would curse at her if she dared to say that out loud. He didn't seem like the person to take that kind of thing easily. "So how do you cope? What makes it easier?" She asked, looking for ways to help him, but she didn't know how. "What makes it better even if its just the smallest little bit?" @Cast In Stone

"This. This is the first human compasion that I've been shown in a long time. Things like what we did at the bar. That scratched an itch, and I— I'm trying my best to just hold down my mind because it's so noisy right now. Typically, I get hammered on that piss and go to sleep, because that's about the only time that I can sleep. Don't know, maybe I'm just a fool but...There's something warm behind those eyes of yours. Ah, but then again blue-eyes, you're my enemy right?" He let a short chuckle at that then moved on the bed next to her to get a look deep into her eyes. He was looking for anything inside of them. He found curiosity in the ocean of blue in front of him and even a hint of pity? He didn't care by this point, he'd been almost a full year without a single person actually talking to him. Complete and utter human deprivation to get these powers to surface. "That's why I'm so quick to answer your questions. That's why I gave you the key. I suppose you came because you have more than an ounce of admirable humanity between those eyes. God—Aren't they just beautiful. I—" The urges to take, to be a primal beast flutters over him as his eyes dim to black, and she's face to face with a dark black abyss. The voice gurgles out in an almost alien manner. "Brook Williams....How pleasant. Don't worry, I send him to a more....pleasant memory. A recent one, containing the girl that he has eyes for. You see Lucius is my toy and if you try to get in the way of that... Well, tsk, tsk, tsk. You'll have to be taught a lesson. BUT don't you dare run either, He wants you so bad, and I aim to milk that lust as long as possible from the depths of his soul..., You do still believe in a soul right Brooke?

As he came closer to her she couldn't help but lean back a small bit. She still remembered what he had done with that single touch. How he had made heat explore throughout her, how he had made her.. she pushed the thought away, her cheeks warming slightly. "Maybe I am not the enemy.. I told you they were coming.." she said to him in a soft voice and he kept staring into her eyes and she stared into his. "I came because.." she paused. Why had she come? Because she waa curious right? Because he had promised her answers. Ansd fhat is when it happened. Those golden eyes suddenly turned back and it made her jump, pushing herself away from him. And when he spoke his voice was completely different, making his heartbeat hammer in her chest. "How do you know my name..?" She had not told him her name.. "Give him back." She said but her voice didn't hold the stength that she wanted it to. She kept backing away, but he followed. All the way till he was almost crawled on top of her at the headrest of the bed, their lips just barely not touching. "Leave me alone.." it was barely a whisper. As he mentioned the burn between her legs she pressed them closer together again. She hated this. Her entire body trying to just stay away from his touch, scared of what he could do. And then he mentioned Lars, how he wanted to be back, how he wanted her. Her eyes went wide. "He is not your toy.." she said, again not finding the strength in that voice she wanted. "This is his body.. if anything you owe him for letting you use it! Why torture your own host? I bet you can't even survive without him anymore.." she said, slowly her voice was gaining strength. "If you could leave.. I think you would have already." She knew provoking it was probably a bad idea. But this was the way you got answers from a mad man and whay she was dealing with was not a rational being. @Cast In Stone

"No, no, no dear child. I saved this poor man. I nestled in his head, I gave him a way to give me control. He's weak, broken such a fine special broken by so bubbling, blistering, bureaucrats. They claim to worship their science to know it as facts, but they're so eager to torch the innocents that they don't under stand. For instance, you think I'm all bad, but I'm the only reason Lucius hasn't offed himself." His tendrils wrap around the bed with a groaning cream as he draws closer to her. Two of them extending forward to wrap around her wrist. "You might not want me, but do want him. You've been staring and glancing at this the entire time. Could you imagine it? Deep inside of you, taking every piece of you to use like his own little toy." It slowly curled those tendrils around her arm their faces got closer and closer. Inside the black abyss of his eyes, she could see a speck of gold in them. "I take it you know who that is? Now let me show you, what I see.' Around her neck and almost to her eye with one tendril as it slowly glowed and pulsated at the same beat as her heart. Her eyes flashed gold momentarily as she could see a thousand scenario's at one. One where there was blood on the bed, her hand gripping his gun. One were there was her and him having passionate, intimate sex. One where she was the experiment and he really was the guard. All different realities all coursing through his veins. "No no no, I don't need a host. My form is your people's lust. It is your people's desire, but only one could let me in and still live a full life. You see, I'm very merciful. I know everyone's name in the world, as a timeless entity, I'm worked my way around from the ancient mesopotamians to the presidential Whitehouse." "And because you've felt that burning desire behind your legs, I know you to the fiber of your being. I know about your highschool dance that you let pass by.

The moment she felt those tendrils on her she could feel her fear spiking inside her. She tried to fight against them, but she was soon pinned tightly against that bed. She could feel her breathing starting to get more rapid as he drew closer and closer to her. “You might not want me, but do want him. You’ve been staring and glancing at this the entire time. Could you imagine it? Deep inside of you, taking every piece of you to use like his own little toy.” “N-no.. stop..” just those words already brought her back to being on that bar top, the ecstasy in her body, his fingers between her legs, the orgasm.. it burst through the fear, a heat between her legs that she tried hard to deny. No.. this was just his doing. This was his powers.. The felt that tendril coming to her neck and then up to her face, she tried to shake it off, shaking her head from side to side. “Let him go.. Let him..!” Suddenly a thousand images came flashing through her. Some good, some terrifying, some.. amazing. The emotions and feelings they were causing soon creating a spiking headache that made her cry out against that bed, fighting against the hold on her wrists. Once they faded she fell back into that bed almost exhausted, like her mind had just done the thinking of a full day within a few seconds. “You know nothing about me…” she said, even her voice sounding exhausted. “Those things don’t define me at all. I am so much more then that.” But even as she was saying it she was scared of this entity, of what it could do to her. There was barely any compassion in those eyes, no kindness as she had seen in those of Lars. “Neither does it define Lars.. and he doesn’t need you to live. You do not bring him happiness. You are the reason they are after him!” @Cast In Stone

"Oh? Perhaps you'll show me what you are? Because at this moment, you're another scared mortal that I can toy with. Even now, you can't control your urge, because you can't forget his small...miniscule demonstration. Although, it is of mortals to like to themselves. To be blind to the facts, evenso willingly. Perhaps a mere day ago if you were asked if the supernatural existed. Would you have answered no? Would you have given some half-way satisfying answer that would be a lie? Mhm. Even now,—well. I will give him back Brooke. But you are wrong, a man needs hope to live and I happened to be in the right mood to give this...toy the hope that he needed." There was a tempestuous moment where a storm started outside. The lightning crashed so close outside that it shook the foundations of their little room. As the lights shut off, she was there with those soulless black eyes which seemed to stare right through her. They dilated then began to regain color, soon enough his typical glow was back to the room as the power began working as normal. He took a while for the man to gain his voice back, but looked horrified at the position that he had strewn her in. The tendrils writhing around her leaving a light and viscous golden flow over the part of Brooke's face where it had touched. His voice was full of sorrow and pain at first. Then after a glowing tear came out from his eye, it turned into one of worry. His voice got ever so higher pitched making it crackle and almost gurgle. A side that now many of his family or even close friends had found. out about. It really brought the human back into perspective that he could be just as susceptible to the negative side of life despite being a possessed soldier. "Ar—Did...,Did I hurt you? I-I'm so sorry. I just couldn't...Gah, he was so loud. I begged him not to hurt you, but he sent me to the bar to rewatch everything. I stood there helplessly... No, don't look like that. Please don't be hurt...I'm here now." `__

She couldn’t help but just stare up at him. The fear in her was clear as day, yet she was trying to be strong and not show it. But of course it knew and the longer those tendrils moves over her face and her neck the more she started to feel her breathing starting to increase. The panic so close to the surface that she was trying to push back. She tried to speak back to it, but she found her voice had lost it’s power completely. And then the thunder crashed, making her yelp out loud and close her eyes. She hated storms.. and it had come out of nowhere. But when she opened her eyes again she was staring back at his golden ones. Her eyes were big, her breathing still fast but slowly they seemed to go smaller again as tears filled her face with relief. “I-I’m okay.. i am okay..” she said through her breathing and as he pulled her into that hug, she clung into him as if her life depended on him. “I am not hurt.. just.. fuck..” she tried. “That was scary..” because that entity had been right.. she didn’t believe in the supernatural. But this had not been from this world. @Cast In Stone

The rain continued it's heavy thudding against the windowsill for the next few hours as a few minutes flew by. Lucius's hand fell through her hair like silk. The incredible heat that he suffered from didn't show at all on his face. Instead those golden eyes fell from her body as if he was intentionally avoiding eye contact. He shook his hand for a moment as he whispered to himself. When he returned his gaze to her, those beautiful glowing eyes softened. She had been clinging to him for dear life and now a storm was coursing around. It felt great to have another person to be with. "I'd told you I'd answer any question. But I didn't tell you how it happened. And to be honest I'm not quite sure. It was in the middle of the electro-shock therapy that I blanked out. When I woke up, I felt exceptionally hot, but it never went away. Within hours, Voices in my head. Within a month, the tendrils. And in a year, these new hypnosis powers. Speaking of which, that time in the bar..., Has that feeling went away? I've noticed that it's easier to ween someone off the lustful experience than just to stop it." @Pet Naka

Another thunder strike illumated the room once more and it only made her grasp into him tighter. She didn't like storms.. never had. And this one felt like it had been made for her personally as whatever demon was inside Lars his body had taken over. She hated it. Truly hated it. Even once he pulled away, she always didn't let him. But somehow seeing those golden eyes relaxed her just a small bit again. The things he told her sounded horrifying and she didn't even know about half the things they had put him through. She could see now how no willing person would ever let anyone do that to them. She had been about to apologize when he suddenly asked about the bar. The memories came flooding back and she almost instantly found her cheeks flushing softly. "I uhmm.." she said. "Not entirely..." she admitted. There was still a lingering feeling there that had never gone away. A soft tingle, just the smallest bit of heat. As if she needed to use the toilet when she knew she didn't. @Cast In Stone

He nodded slowly at her answer while her cheeks flushed lightly over her face. The charcoal hand that had been holding her by the middrift of her back, slowly steeped lower running over her hips and waltzing down her rear. The pressure of his grasp cupped each cheek lightly as he pulled her closer to his face. He made sure to look deep into her eyes with that golden glow feeling each individual glance breeze over his psyche with evidence of lust and deprivation. The same lust that he could take or give to another human being. He thought about kissing her, but that would be what the thing inside of him wanted. Instead the man lightly tugged at Brooke's shirt, begging the shirt to come off. His lips parted as he placed his smooth chin against her neck to whisper into her ear. The resulting voice was low, deeper than normal. It was full of lust, oozing practically out of her lip as if begging her to comply. "Would you like to continue it? Do you need to be satisfied?" The simple phrases were something that had it own little gratitudes towards her. It signified his own need, to rid himself of that pulsing feeling that always left him wanting something more. She could feel his lips press over her ear lobe, drawing it slightly before letting go. All he wanted to do afterwards would wait for an answer. He knew that she felt something for him, and he felt as if it was worth it to pursue his own feelings for her. @Pet Naka

The sudden change of where his hands were only made her blush deepen. At first it made her tense up, but as he continued it caused her to melt against him bit by bit. Was he doing it again? Was he making her feel this way? Her legs pressed together, her thighs closing against each other as once more that feeling of heat started to spike just a small bit inside of her. Something that only made her feel even more strange as the rough denim brushed against her, he had ripped her underwear after all. The feeling had been more intense the last time, more sudden. Yet this had to be him.. right? She felt him tug at her shirt and his lips so close against her ear. His words had a shiver run down her spine, ending at her very core as her hands gripped into his shoulders. His lips toyed with her earlobe, which only intensified that feeling. “Yes..” Wait.. what was she saying?! It had left her mouth before she even knew it. As if her mind couldn’t keep up with what her body seemed to want. This was im again.. it had to be. It was that power that he had used on her before, it had to be. She would never be this way otherwise, right? So why did the images of what he had done to her before still play inside her mind, making her want him more.. @Cast In Stone
