She had been especially concerned since she learned she was pregnant. Anxious and nervous the whole time she sat in the doctors office. Even more fear and dread filled when the doctor elected to speak to Draven. But now to hear that the baby was OK… she could relax. "I don’t know if we should invite him for dinner tonight. Your brother did say he wasn’t hungry because he had eaten on the ship. It may be another day. What do you think? I don’t wanna push you, so please tell me if I am.” (Draven) Draven chuckled at her comment about Damon saying he wasn't hungry, "oh, my love. Just because he wasn't wanting to eat earlier, doesn't mean he won't wish to later. If you feel we should invite him over and you are up for having the company, then yes, we will do as you wish." He said as they entered the furniture store to find Bridgett helping Lily with cleaning some of the newer items that her husband had just finished making. Tag: Khadashee

So instead of doing so She said, “did you and mother find the person you were looking for?” (Vincent) "Oh, you did not wake me." Vincent told her with a smile. When she asked about the prospect of another he simply shook his head. "It will take time to find the right one." He picked up on her heartbeat and knew she was nervous about something.

Hey! Is everyone okay? Just checking on you. hugs, peace and blessings

(Khadashee) Khadashee was nervous as she sat in the waiting room, waiting to be called back. When it finally happened and she was taken back to see the doctor, she felt like she was going to be sick. She never had a situation where she had seen a doctor and it had gone well. The old gentleman came in and tried his best to reassure her, but she was quite tense. However she did. He told her to do. She laid back and most cooperative as a doctor checked her. When he was done, he smiled. Spoke to Draven, and then together the two of them left. She was still quite quiet as they walked around the lane to his home. “Did you have a nice talk with your brother?” she said to make small talk her mind to preoccupied to remember if she had asked that question or not. Because of the last time she had been pregnant, and how it went. She didn’t wanna know if there was something wrong with his child. Selfish, possibly. childish, maybe but after her last ordeal, she didn’t think she could take it this time. so she had asked Draven to take the lead. Letting The doctor tell him anything in regards to their baby. "Do you think we should invite him over to dinner tonight?” she said, nibbling on her bottom lip, a sign that she was nervous. (Draven) "Everything is fine. The baby is at a healthy weight and you are in good health as well." Draven didn't wait for her to ask, but knew that she wanted to know something of what the doctor told him. "And you asked about Damian and myself, earlier, but to re-answer, I have hired him on as one of the crew. Would you like to invite him over for dinner, my love?" He asked her hoping that she would now relax and be well with the knowledge that she and the baby were both fine. Tag: Khadashee

(Khadashee)“Yes we did, Damon was giving some shore leave and we ran into each other while he was thinking of getting something to eat.” Khadashee said and gave Draven a look that screamed. Please don’t be bad. She looked down at Bridget and reached for her hand. “Did you two have fun together?” (Draven/Damon) Draven caught the look and gave her a smile, "and did you, get something to eat?" He asked being as kind as he could be in front of his daughter. Damon chuckled, "as I told Khadashee here, I had eaten before I left the ship, but for some reason your lady feels I must eat again." Draven gave a smirk and then a smile. Bridget gave Khadashee a smile and did take the lady's hand, "Ms. ashee, can I talk to you?" She asked with a little nervous smile, "without daddy?"

(Victoria) Victoria smiled. “Colin wouldn't be Colin if he didn’t." she continued to walk with him. “Apparently there is a new prince. One with one of us as a pet. I am disgust that one of our kind would actually let themselves be used in such a way. But then again I was raised by vampires so maybe I’m just as bad.” (Ragnvall) Ragnvall stopped them and turned her to face him, "my child, you were raised by two loving parents who just happen to be vampires. There is a difference between that and this new Prince with a Lycan pet. How did you learn about this situation?" He asked then started walking with her once again.

(Scarlett) She watched Hollywood go and suddenly felt very alone. It had been years since she'd spent time in this building, so she had to recall details from her time her so long ago. With the alarms sounding still upstairs and smoke filling the hallways here and above, she made her way to the staircase, far enough behind Hollywood that she didn't see where the other woman went. Emerging from the steps on the main floor, she saw more smoke and several vampires moving from the upper tiers of the structure toward the basement where they could access the tunnels. The redhead saw the prince approaching, escorted by another being she had seen earlier but did not know his name. She walked up to them and looked from one to the other, "I'm here to help. We need to get the prince out of here. Where was the explosion?" (Diego/NPC Prince) Diego paused long enough to look at the red haired vampire. "Near the throne room. I must go and see who else might need help, but I cannot leave the Prince." Diego said as he kept leading them towards the stairs that lead down to the lower levels. "We have a way to escape through the tunnels...need to get Prince Vespasian to them." Prince Vespasian simply shook his head. "I can get myself there, dog. You can go." Diego looked at the Prince with mixed emotions. He hated being under the man's ownership, but at the same time, knew that the Prince had to survive the attacks. (Hollywood) Hollywood exited the tunnels into the subway system. She made her way to one of the trains that was just about to leave. She quickly boarded the train and as it left the station she pulled out her phone and called Ari. She wondered what Eli was up to and why and how she managed to pull off what was happening at the Society. Tag: Scarlett, Ari/Eli

(Akira/Mia) Mia gave Gen a smile after he had finished explaining. "Well, you are safe here, Gen. Akira will help you get settled and then bring you to the main office to get you properly enrolled. And I am sure that in time, with practice, you will develop your social skills and be just as versed in them as you are in math and science." She looked at Akira then. "Please have him room with you since you are without a current room mate and he seems comfortable with you." He gave her a nod, "yes, Ms. Mia. I will also take him to the school store for some shopping of things." She gave him a smile, "yes, and I will call ahead and cover the expenses. Thank you, Akira. If there isn't anything else, I need to find Del." She waited for a reply before heading off to find her love. (Gen) "Thank you for your help, Ms. Mia," Gen said politely as the woman left the room. He then looked to Akira, a little uncertain. "So... I guess the school store is next? I could use some clothes. All I've got is what I've got on right now." He chewed his lip a bit. "Most of the stuff is easy, but could use some special shirts For, like, when I grow wings to fly with?" "And I could use some other things. Girl things. For when..." The androgyne sighed. "If we're going to be roomies, you might as well know. This is something else I can do." He closed his eyes and concentrated, and his body and face began shifting, his breasts growing more prominent, his hips more curved, his features softer and more feminine. He opened his eyes and looked for Akira's reaction. "Is it okay?" he asked, anxious but hopeful. Tag: Akira

(Sadie Logan) Sadie nodded. "I get it. I can help out there." She then continued, "So, who am I rooming with? And who will I have to speak with about staying here?" (Del) "At some point you'll need to speak with Mia," Del said, stopping in front of a dorm-room door. "She's the co-founder of the Academy. But I don't think there'll be any problem there." "For now though, let's get you situated with a room. And a roommate," she said, knocking on the door. "Colleen? Do you have a moment? I've got someone I want you to meet." The door opened to reveal a red-haired teen girl with gamer-goggles, arm-length gloves and an impatient look on her face. (Colleen/Splice) "Is it important?" Colleen asked. "I've got the Dark-Side Armada on the ropes. Three more ships and I level up!" The girl glanced at Sadie who was standing just behind Del. "Who's this?" (Del) Del looked apologetically to Sadie. "She's not usually like this. Just when she's playing Legends of Starcross. Sadie, this is Colleen Delgata, aka Splice. Splice, this is Sadie. She'll be rooming with you while she's here." She smirked as she added "If that's okay with your Alliance." (Colleen/Splice) Splice sighed and extended a gloved hand to the older girl. The lavender-colored glove ran all the way up to her elbow. "Sorry. Nothing personal." She shrugged casually and smiled beneath her goggles. "I just get kind of intense when I'm gaming." Tag - Sadie

(Gen) "Sorry," Gen mumbled at Akira's reaction, quickly pulling back. "I'm still learning the social stuff. Didn't mean to be creepy." "I can't move through things. I can jump higher than an ordinary guy but nothing really spectacular. I can do a lot of other things, though," he said, brightening a bit. "I can alter my body to adapt to different environments. Like climbing sheer walls or breathing underwater. I can grow wings that allow me to fly. And I can even--" He stopped suddenly, not wanting to mention something that the other boy might also find creepy. "I know a lot of what went into my design," he finished finally, looking away. "The scientists were always testing me to make sure it all worked. (Akira/Mia) Akira was just about to ask what Gen was about to say he could also do, when he spotted Ms. Mia coming into the cafeteria. He saw her pause and look around the room, her eyes catching the new student. "Uh, oh. Well, guess you are about to meet one of the one's in charge. "That's Ms. Mia." He pointed her out as she crossed to their table. "Hello, boys. I am glad to see you are enjoying a meal. Who is your new friend, Akira?" She asked for an introduction. She wondered who let him in and why she hadn't been informed there was a new student. With a smile, Akira said, "Ms. Mia, this is Gen. I think Liza was the one that found him. Gen, this is Ms. Mia, one of the founders of the Academy." He made the introductions. Tag: Gen

(Sadie) With the cab now long gone, the driver spooked by the fight he'd witnessed involving what he thought would be his next fare, Sadie decided to take the car. Fortunately, it was still running with the keys in the ignition. She jumped behind the wheel, closed the door and raced off down the street. In a holder mounted on the dash was the goon's cellphone, a Google map displayed which she immediately reset to take her to the place she wanted to go to. A school for people like her, those with special powers. Several minutes later, Sadie watching her rearview the whole way, the car pulled up outside the Academy for the Extraordinarily Gifted. She got out, grabbing the man's phone as she stepped out of the vehicle. As she stood up, the phone rang and she looked at the display. "Agent Gray" was the name that came up on the phone. Glaring at it, Sadie swiped the answer button and held it to her ear, "I'm sorry, the asshole who owns this phone just had his face beat in. Can I take a message?" "Killing that man was a big mistake, Ms. Logan," the voice on the other end of the line replied, calmly yet with a cold overtone. "We know where you are thanks to the GPS on that phone. You think you'll be safe there?" "I do," she said, walking toward the entrance of the school. "You won't come here. They won't cooperate with you. The government is no friend of people like me." "Perhaps," Gray said. "Perhaps not. You'd be surprised what some people, even people like you, will do when properly motivated. Money. Blackmail. Threats. Anything is possible, Sadie." Sadie was quiet a moment. Maybe she should have run farther away. But this had been her plan and she wasn't going to abandon it now. Raising the phone back to her mouth she responded, "Perhaps." She clenched her fist and crushed the phone in her hand. Once it was destroyed, Sadie dropped it into the street and walked up to the main door to the academy and knocked... Delphine "Del" Montclair Del was used to knocks on the Academy door late at night. Sometimes it was some young mutant on their own seeking refuge, and sometimes it was the police dumping what they felt were "mutant problems" into someone else's lap so that they wouldn't have to deal with them. But it rarely involved violent encounters like the one she just witnessed on the surveillance record. Unlocking the door, she quickly ushered the dark-haired young woman inside, urging her with a hissed "Quickly! Quickly!" and then shutting the door behind her. "Calm down!" Del ordered, using her empathic power to overcome the stranger's evident agitation. "My name's Del. You're safe here. For now, anyway." Keeping an eye on the screen showing the Academy's front exterior, she looked back to the unexpected guest. "Was anyone else following you?" she asked quietly, her eyes meeting the young woman's rather striking blue ones as she exuded calm in soothing waves. "Should we be expecting trouble? If so, how much?" (tag - Sadie, open)

(Scarlett MacAleister) Everything happened so quickly, before she knew it there was a loud explosion, then Eli had thrown her into Hollywood before disappearing out the door into a smoke filled corridor. She was about to go after Eli when Hollywood grabbed her hand and yelled, "Come on!" Together they flew out the door into the nearly zero visibility of the hallway and they ran down the corridor until they arrived at the staircase leading upstairs. Before they mounted the stairs, Scarlett cleared her throat above yelling they could hear upstairs, along with the constant blaring noise of fire alarms echoing through the Midnight Society. "Hollywood," Scarlett said firmly. "If the walls are breached upstairs, its dawn. There will be sunlight and police and fire will be descending on this building. We need to find the prince and get out of here. This is not going to be a safe place for any vampire in a matter of minutes." (Hollywood) Hollywood nodded to Scarlett, "Okay, you head to where you last left the Prince. I will head to the armory and see what is happening there. We will meet in the basement." With that, Hollywood headed left leaving Scarlett standing in the hall. Once she was out of view of Scarlett, Hollywood headed towards another stairwell that headed up to the first floor. She knew she would be able to avoid the daylight. Once up the stairs she headed across the main floor to the south side of building. As she did, she could see Diego leading the Prince towards the stairs that would lead to the basement. She gave her old friend a nod before headed down the opposite stairs. She knew that Diego would get the Prince to safety, and then make his own way out. This was his chance to be free and she knew he would take it and find her later. She headed down the stairs to a gate that lead into the tunnels under the city. She looked around to ensure no one saw her and then entered the tunnels, closing the gate behind her and heading off away from the Midnight Society. She hoped that Scarlett would be alright and she knew that she would protect the Prince. For now, Hollywood had to find Ari and together they could find Eli. Tag: Scarlett Virus-free.www.avg.com

(Scarlett) The redheaded vampire was surprised when Hollywood told her to wait outside and stepped into the room where the would-be assassin was being held. Scarlett was a little annoyed at the move but was still growing accustomed to the situation she'd suddenly been thrust into. Did she have the full powers of a Protector? Who was Hollywood and what kind of authority did she have here? Inside the room she heard the water come on and frowned. It was a famous way to drown out the sound of a conversation inside a room when someone was listening at the door.For now Scarlett would wait, but she was now suspicious of Hollywood and her role in this whole thing. (Elisiana)“Really? Hmm, that’s not what he told me. But then people lie. Electing to look you in the face and tell you what they need to tell to manipulate and gaslight.” At Hollywood’s words Elisiana smiled. “Mummy…you wound me.” She said placing her hand over her heart. “I don’t believer I asked for your help. Let the young gun in so she can do you job. after all do you really want her reporting to your master that you interfere in her investigation." (Hollywood)Hollywood rolled her eyes, "you know how much I hate that." Then, "he said he hadn't spoken to you in a few years. What did he tell you he was doing?" She stood back and put her hand on the handle of the door. She began to open it. "I wish you would reconsider and accept my help." She waited for a response before opening it fully to allow Ms. Scarlett inside. Tag: Scarlett, Eli

Sadie Logan Age: 22 Height: 5’9”, Weight: 125 lbs Hair: Black, worn long, Eyes: Blue Sadie was born and raised in Dalton City, located 150 miles west of Port Vega. As a teenager, she began to develop abilities that were unusual and quickly she was labeled a freak by many of her classmates. It was so bad her parents took her out of classes and home-schooled her. When she was 18, the government tried to recruit her into a secret military training program where they wanted to turn her into a living weapon, but she refused. That refusal caused the government to harass she and her family – eventually causing her father to end up in prison on trumped up tax evasion charges and her mother being left to shut down the family business after the scandal left it bankrupt. Sadie left at this time and went to Port Vega to seek out a place she’d heard of called the Academy of the Extraordinarily Gifted. She has exhibited super strength, speed, and the ability to regenerate almost instantly from injuries.

(Sadie) Sadie Logan knew she was being followed the moment she stepped off the train in Port Vega and made her way out of the station. She caught a glimpse of her pursuers, both dressed in coats too heavy for the weather here and wearing ballcaps and sunglasses. They were feds, she had no doubt about that. They'd likely been watching the train station, waiting for her to come off the 11:15 from New Augusta. Walking along through the busy train station, Sadie pulled out her phone and called up a map. She was a strikingly beautiful woman, with long raven-black hair, blue eyes and an athletic, yet shapely body. Dressed in a long black duster and wearing a baseball cap, she was doing the best she could to avoid detection – but the government was determined to bring her in…and they wouldn’t give up. Locating the place she was trying to reach, Sadie pinned it on the map and stepped out of the terminal and onto the busy street outside, where she began looking for a cab. Without turning around to look, she sensed the two agents following her step out onto the sidewalk and move into positions a few feet behind her, one to either side. Sadie saw a cab pull up and saw there was no one who immediately needed it, so she started toward the yellow vehicle, knowing full well she would not reach the cab before the men behind her made their move. Ten feet from the cab, she could feel the first one move up on her and she spun around, just in time to see a black-dressed man rush at her, a sparking stun baton gripped in his hand as he brought it up to swing at Sadie. The man swiped at her with the baton, both times the young woman dodged his weapon with lightning fast speed and on his third attempt to strike she caught his arm, yanked it violently back toward his torso and forced the electrical tip of the baton onto his chest. After the man was violently jolted by the electrical charge, he dropped the baton and fell to the ground vibrating from the shock. Sadie didn't stop long enough the assess his condition as the second man came at her, also wielding a shock baton. He swiped at her with the weapon, which once again she nimbly sidestepped, then she chopped the edge of her hand down on his forearm, causing his hand to go numb prompting him to drop the baton. She then launched a kick up into his midsection, doubling him over and propelling him across the street and onto the hood of an approaching car. The vehicle slammed on its brakes, causing the man to roll off onto the street. From the shadows, a third attacker appeared and raised a pistol with a long barrel, a weapon Sadie identified as a dartgun, probably fitted with a tranquilizer tip. She charged at the man, legs carrying her faster than most normal humans could run. The man's eyes widened as he took aim, realizing he would only get one shot. As he pulled the trigger, Sadie came in under his aim and tackled him around his midsection, propelling them both several yards until they landed on the pavement, directly in front of an SUV which had to slam on its brakes to avoid hitting them. The man, winded from the impact, was unable to resist as Sadie pulled herself up so she was sitting on his chest before she started pummeling his face with repeated blows from her fists. After several punches, the man's face was bloodied and bruised, his nose shattered and one eyeball bulging from his face after she broke the orbital socket of his skull. "You killed him!" a young teenager on the sidewalk shouted as she stood up with blood on her fists. "Holy shit!" Sadie grimaced. Killing had not been her intention but she sometimes couldn't control herself when the rage took her. The dark-haired girl looked around and saw no one else coming at her, but her gaze did fall upon a dark sedan parked alongside the road with its driver door wide open. It was the direction the third man had come from, so she deduced it was likely his car. With the cab now long gone, the driver spooked by the fight he'd witnessed involving what he thought would be his next fare, Sadie decided to take the car. Fortunately, it was

(Akira) Akira shook his head, as he moved his leg away from Gen's at the same time that Gen moved. "Okay, okay. I am not a science experiment. Don't need to tell me what my body is doing, there friend." It sent shivers down his spine. "That's just creepy." He turned his attention back to his food. "I can move through things. Jump pretty high and land on my feet if I fall from a height. Kind of like a cat." He told Gen of his abilities. "Not sure what else I can do...still figuring it all out myself." (Gen) "Sorry," Gen mumbled at Akira's reaction, quickly pulling back. "I'm still learning the social stuff. Didn't mean to be creepy." "I can't move through things. I can jump higher than an ordinary guy but nothing really spectacular. I can do a lot of other things, though," he said, brightening a bit. "I can alter my body to adapt to different environments.

(Eli) Eli has been sitting on the cot meditating. Slowing her body to painful slow rates. She knew someone was going to come down to eventually question her…won’t they been in for a surprise. But the voice…the last voice she expected to hear was a voice she hadn’t heard in years. Eli opened her eyes slowly a smirk on her face when she saw the woman across from her. “Well well well, look what the cat dragged in, if is isn’t my wayward dear old mother. How ya doing mommy.” (Scarlett) The redheaded vampire was surprised when Hollywood told her to wait outside and stepped into the room where the would-be assassin was being held. Scarlett was a little annoyed at the move but was still growing accustomed to the situation she'd suddenly been thrust into. Did she have the full powers of a Protector?

It was a famous way to drown out the sound of a conversation inside a room when someone was listening at the door. For now Scarlett would wait, but she was now suspicious of Hollywood and her role in this whole thing. (Hollywood) When Eli called her mommy she flinched a little. She knew that Eli knew that term and the way she used it was not appropriate, but she didn't move from the doorway. "So, you were sent to assassinate the Prince. I ran into your brother, Ari, a little while ago. There is a vampire interrogator in the hall, waiting to come in, but I wanted to see you first. Anything you wish to say before I let her in?" Hollywood was keeping it professional for now. She was never one to coddle her childer, but she did care about them and she hoped the concern in her voice was sounding through.

(Gen) "No!" Gen said quickly to Akira's apology. Too quickly, the androgyne thought afterwards, chagrined. "I mean, it's not that I don't like to be touched. I... I actually kinda like being touched. Probably because I didn't get enough of it at the lab once I became conscious." He chewed on his lip, trying to think how to explain it. "They were studying me, trying to see how my body would respond to different stimuli in the ways they wanted. So it was always, you know, controlled." "Like I said, I was designed with planetary exploration in mind, so they made my body adaptable to a number of different environments. Including, well, social environments. If I touch someone for a prolonged period, I... adapt to them. My body picks up on little cues they put out and shifts in ways to become more... compatible." Gen blushed as he added "Like for, you know, intimate interactions." (Akira) Akira listened and smiled at Gen when he said he liked to be touched. "Well, if that is the case." He said and scooted a little closer to the lad, letting his thigh be right next to Gen's. "What kinds of stimuli?" He wondered what all the boy had been through. "Doesn't sound very pleasant."
