"Yeah, it's so disgusting that it's really painful," replied Syl, grinning, "but my friend, he's cured me many times, in a very short amount of time. He's a real expert at medicine, if you ask me, and he's like my family!"
It grinned at Chrystabelle.
"Don't worry, he's really nice," it said, "I'm sure I could introduce you two a bit later, but now I'm going to find a mindless doctor to keep an eye on miss Karashi, as she's pregnant and all. I don't want her dying of complications. Miss Veronica said that giving birth is really dangerous..."
It began to walk down the hallway, as it gestured for Chrystabelle to follow, still grinning widely, cheerfully.
"Come on! We're heading downstairs." ____________________________________________________________________________________________
Kiel stood on the roof, its aura safely concealed from anyone's prying eyes. It clasped its hands behind its back, humming to itself a catchy, albeit repetitive tune. This decision to watch everyone using an array of spies was turning out to be a better investment than it originally expected.
Oh, the knowledge it had gained... Veronica... pregnant. A bomb... that might soon be detonated. A madman... on the loose... And a merry little gang of misfits out to stop him. Classic. Kiel had seen much, and it wasn't difficult to remember situations that were vaguely similar to this. While Syl and Asri had emotional management issues, Kiel took it upon itself to be the level-headed one that could things better than they could, and now, it had finally come up with a way to deal with this.
It smiled. Kiel took pride in being able to come up with countless solutions to any given problem, and to be prepared for anything. Its time away from Syl was not time wasted. It was time put to damn good use - preparing, organizing and figuring out what was happened bit by bit as clues showed up.
"Don't worry, Asri," it said, "I have a backup plan... Don't worry Syl. You're in good hands. What better guardian angel to have than one's that practically a walking plague factory? If he runs out of hand sanitizer, his plagues will spread throughout Animus, and they'll be mutating rapidly while they're at it. Full of nasty surprises, they are...
"Either way, Asri's more dangerous than his weak appearance might suggest. He'll take care of you, Syl, I'm sure, and so will his other little friends, when I am unable to."
It chuckled to itself as it stood there, looking at the landscape of the city - some of it intact, other parts in ruins. Animus. Their new home. And Kiel's new world for its secret business.
The winds blew around Kiel, and when they subsided, it was gone.

Chrystabelle stopped dead in her tracks. "Pregnant?" She asked, disbelief evident in her tone. She eyed Syl up and down, already feeling silly about the question she was about to ask. "Are...you the father?" She frowned. The question sounded even more ludicrous out loud. Syl was much too childlike to get anyone pregnant, not to mention genderless.
She smiled slightly, running a hand through her hair as she stepped forward. She grabbed Syl's hand, squeezing reassuringly. "Don't worry, she didn't look far along enough to spontaneously go into labor. But we can get a doctor if you wish." With that, she began leading Syl down the hall by the hand, not caring that she didn't really know the way.

Before leaving, Lain grabbed an apple out of an abandoned fruit bowl on the far counter. The bowl tself was really quite pretty, if this had been any other day Lain would have probably taken more notice of it but seeing as her job now, was to check all the rooms, she had too much ground to cover.
As she entered the hallway once again she tossed the apple to Veronica. "Eat, You need to keep your strength up."
Choosing the door to the left of the one she had just examined, she kicked it open and entered.

Soloman flew through the air, approaching the general area of the bombings. He let a single swear escape his lips as he heard a beeping from his watch. His base had been breached.
This left him with a difficult decision. He could go back and eliminate the intruders, or he could continue with his mission to gather the equipment from the bomb site...
The latter was far more important. He pulled up his arm, clicking a small button on his watch. They were in for a nasty surprise.
He continued on his journey, soon covertly landing on a roof near the destroyed sky scrapers. He crawled up to the edge of the roof, looking at the ground.
People were there, sentients. He swore quietly. They needed to be dispatched. His left arm turned into a rifle, like it had when he was fighting Trace. A single round spiraled towards Arqus's head.

Viscum sensed the new aura almost immediately as it came anywhere near them. Viscum had been keeping quiet in order to concentrate on his aura tracking ability as much as he could in such a situation, allowing him to see Soloman's aura very clearly.
"We've got company."
< *** >
Rosa listened to Asri, and had to agree with him when it came to Karashi. From her recent actions it would not surprise Rosa if Karashi was high or drunk, her actions certainly seemed like someone not in their right mind.
"We will certainly need to keep an eye on her. I don't want to go so far as to keep her way from Syl without Syl knowing why, since that could be too painful for Syl, and the last thing we want to do is caused unneeded suffering for Syl." Rosa said, mulling over their options. "We could always try and talk some sense into Syl, make it realize that Karashi is just going to cause more trouble than good. But then Syl is so childlike in it's understanding, maybe it wouldn't get what we mean."
< *** >
Maz had a disgusted look as it watched Mr. Psycho's homicidal actions. While Maz was used to the actions of madmen, Mr. Psycho was something else, something disgusting and twisted. There was no remorse, only a pathetic excuse for his actions. These were the kind of people that in any other situation, Maz would send into oblivion through a spell.
"Great, I'm associating with the dregs of society itself."

Karashi's eyes fluttered open. She moaned, looking around. How long had she been out? She last remembered being in the street. Where was she now? She was very confused and very tired. She called out Syl's name weakly, really needing a friend. If only that man hadn't been on drugs and alcohol as he raped her......She coughed, the cough hurting like hell. She moaned softly again, and looked down at her stomach, rubbing it. Was the baby ok? She had so many questions, and no one was there to answer them.

Asri nodded at Rosa. He was glad to have an ally in ensuring that Syl would be protected, but they would have to work together to get the best result with the least amount of harm.
"I agree with you, and I think that the second option will be the easiest," said Asri, "although we will certainly need to watch her. I know Syl very well, and while there's more than one side to it, in this case, it's child-like to the point where almost everything we tell it will be misinterpreted. It probably realizes that Karashi isn't worth it, but not consciously. It doesn't want to give on her, Rosa, not when it considers her a friend."
He groaned at he leaned back on the stood and rolled his eyes.
"She's rather annoying, its seems," said Asri, "and we need to make sure she doesn't follow us around like a dog. If she gets herself into any more trouble... well... let's just hope that she proves herself, and that my medical ressources don't go to waste."

Syl laughed cheerfully when Chyrs asked if it was the father. It found the whole idea amusing, but ultimately impossible. Syl still had no idea how sex worked.
"How could I be the father, miss Chrystabelle?" it asked lightheartedly, "I don't even know what a penis looks like. That said, let's go get a doctor!"
It let itself get dragged along by Chrys, still with a good-natured smile on its face.
"Um... Miss Crystabelle?" it said, after short pause, "can I call also call you miss Chrys?"

"Oh, I can show you! I have this book in my bag and-" Crystabelle stopped, considering what she'd said. Her face flushed, and she felt her cheeks burning. "I mean, I was just curious and all about reproduction after coming across the word, it sounded so technical and I was curious, but it's actually very simple and special,, which is why it happens all the time, and there's pictures and...let's just find the doctor." She walked faster, hoping to leave her mortification behind.
"And you can call me Chrys, I know my name's a bit of a mouthful."

Lain sighed softly as she shut the door behind her, shutting out the rest of the group. She had been around Mr. P before and was familiar with how he fed, it didn't really phase her anymore. But, That didn't mean she wanted to stand there and watch.
Moving smoothly across the room she pushed open the sliding doors and stepped onto the balcony. As she got closer to the railing she reached up to untie the leather binding her hair, smiling when she felt the curls tumble down her back.
What am i even supposed to be looking for.. It would be a hell of a lot more helpful if i knew.. Draping her arms over the railing she she closed her eyes.
Maybe we should switch..? Fine.. But if ANYTHING happens.. I know, I know.
As she opened her eyes she smiled. Tilting her head to look at her reflection in the glass, her smile broadened. Elaindria's forrest green eyes had been replaced with cornflower blue ones.
Accepting that she was probably unlikely to find anything in that room, she left. She resumed her childish stance in the hallway.

Veronica motioned down slowly to the adjacent staircase and said, "I highly doubt we are going to find anything there. Let's just move on and try to find him already.".

The bullet came flying down, bound for Arqus' skull. It was coming in fast.
Arqus' entire body, beginning from the head down to his foot shimmered, and in an instant he was a being made entirely of diamond. Bremmen was able to sense danger and instinctively transformed the mortal body into diamond to protect it.
The bullet bounced off Arqus' long crystalline diamond hair.
"We've got company."
He looked up and his heightened sense of sight in diamond form, saw a familiar figure from a nearby rooftop. It was the guy who blew up the skyscraper, the one who fought with Trace.
"That's him!" Arqus yelled to Viscum and Johnny.
He stretched his right arm to the side, with his palm facing down, he waved to the ground forcefully as 4 uneven diamond spikes, almost half his size, came out one by one. The jagged spike looked menacing and yet beautiful against the sun's light.
He motioned his right hand towards the figure on the rooftop, and the spikes flew together bound for their target.

Johnny turned around, looked up at the man in the building, and dodged himself away from Arqus as the bullet bounced back. There weren't words he could say, or anything he could do. Johnny figured, he had to keep an eye on things until they situation called for him to be useful.

Soloman was half prepared for the retaliation. He shot to his feet, bones flying from his body. They wrapped around the tips of the diamonds, and flung them like a sling shot back at the group. He remained on his perch, laughing quietly as he heard Arqus confirm it was him. He spread his wings imposingly, waiting for one of the men to make another move in retaliation.

"Let me out!" Arqus heard Bremmen inside his head. "I have a score to settle with that lichen of a being!"
"No, I can handle this." The mortal repleiod calmly to the demon who lived inside him. "I'll take care of this."
Arqus saw how the man was able to deflect the diamond spikes and he sent them back to the group. Reaching out his open hand infront of him, he closed his fingers slowly, as if crushing something with his hand.
The diamond spikes shattered, along with the bones that wrapped their tips. Shards of diamond fell from the sky like rain. Taking a step back, translucent diamond wings appeared behind Arqus. He bent his knees a little and jumped, propelling him higher into the air. The glistening diamond wings flapped and sent him flying higher.
His diamond scythe materialized on his right hand and threw it like a boomerang towards the enemy, while he held on to the long diamond chain attached to the weapon.
