"It was nice talking to you, too." Erin replied. As Cecilia left, Erin gave the other girl a smile and a wave. When the blue girl was out of sight, Erin let out a sigh and sat back down on the bench as she felt her knees starting to get weak. She leaned over and rested her head over her folded arms across her legs. Why oh why did her life have to be so hard? Why did she feel like she had done something horribly wrong? She most definitely had done something wrong in her sister's view. After taking a few shaking deep breaths in a failed attempt to calm her nerves, Erin forced herself to stand up even though she felt like the kabob she had eaten was going to make a return trip from her stomach. She couldn't the sight of the meat right now and just threw it into the same trash can Cecilia had thrown her kabob stick into. It hadn't been very much that she had eaten, but Erin still felt sick to her stomach from the stress and sadness. To try to clear her head and make her stomach settle down Erin started walking. She knew she couldn't go back to the room she shared with her sister. She just could not risk it nor bear to face Elle tonight.

Not only was Kate surprised when Che kissed the top of her head, but she was surprised even more when she heard Che laugh after she had finished speaking. She hadn't intended her metaphor to be a joke but apparently Che thought it was such a thing. She turned her head to look over at the Mastering Owl, puzzled as to why he was laughing at her yet again. "How can you possibly find anything funny with how I view my -- life?" It was then that it hit her why Che was laughing. And just as soon as she had figured out what he found so funny, Che had already taken hold of her hand. She stared back at him, both bewildered and a little bit taken aback by the fact that Che had kissed her hand. She pulled her hand back from him, watching him warily with just a hint of blush on her cheeks of embarrassment, as he turned and started heading for the UNS hotel. After a moment or two, Kate managed to compose herself before following after Che with her face calm now. "You really need to get your old job back, Presidiomini. Before you lose your psyche any more to your unending boredom."

"Well, you see....I got mad...and so I left. There you go." Roulin replied to Cecilia as he fought with his unruly hair. The dark explosion of strands didn't help him answer Cecilia any clearer. Looking over to her, picking up once again on her emotions, he sighed and removed his hands from his slicked back hair which in moments exploded into a frizzled mess. "Okay, I got mad because I figured out who shot you. Che helped. He dropped a bullet, I picked it up, learned of it's past, then traced it back to Thomas. Thomas, the b*****d we have to help now, is the one that shot you and killed Aaliyah. Now, sorry to make you worry, but don't worry. Nothing bad happened and I'm calm now..." His assuring statement was punctuated by the mirror to his left cracking, tearing his reflection asunder. "Okay....now I'm calm. I promise this time. Now how did the meeting go? Let's talk about that."
~~~
"Kate, you have no idea...well, I guess you do since you're the only one who's figured out where my insanity stems from. Bordem." Walking down the hill with his hands comfortably in his pockets, he tilted his head and cracked his neck. He turned around and walked backwards facing Kate now. "How you view life...that needs to change sister. Quick and fast....because it's just not going to do." Che said, snapping a Z-shaped pattern in the air. "Now c'mon. Maybe we can find a nice deck of cards in the lobby we can play...."
The bushy haired man froze in his walk. His eyes, which could fool anyone into thinking they were on Kate, stared past her....almost through her. Blinking twice, he walked back up the mountain to the uppermost part of the hill they just stood upon and looked out into the horizon. Miles and miles away, he could see a stack of smoke arising from what seemed to be an airport. "Goddamn it. Kate...look at this. Another attack on an airport. Makes me think of...eh, I'd rather not even bring that up..."

Cecilia was rather taken aback. She found it difficult to believe that she had gotten the answers out of him so easily. She was sure that she would have to pry and pry until neither of them could stand it anymore. Yet, upon hearing that it was Thomas who had shot her and killed Aaliyah; the young Cosmic Owl bristled angrily, but took a deep breath and exhaled loudly in order to calm herself. She had the answer she wanted. Cecilia sat down on the foot of the bed. "The meeting went on quite smoothly after my little outburst and after you left." She pulled the blueprints from her purse and laid them upon the bed between them. "It seems you're the only one who can read them. A few of the others tried, but to no avail. You seem tired, so I'm not going to force you to read it now if you don't want to. The teams were also chosen as well. Che and Lucien are the team leaders. Myself, Moli, and Erin will be going with your dad. I think Sibal and Jeannie will be going with Lucien. I can't remember who else though. As for everyone else, I'm not too sure. It was hard for me to concentrate on the meeting."
The scenario between Elle and Erin played over in her mind, but she pushed it aside. She had promised Erin that she would not say a thing and she planned on keeping that promise. Cecilia could see that Roulin was having trouble taming his unruly mess of hair and reached over to try and attempt it herself. Perhaps it was an excuse just to run her fingers through his hair, but then perhaps she just wanted to give him a little help. When his hair sprung up again in a big frizzy mess, Cecilia fought a laugh. "Well, looks like we have another thing in common. Both of our hair is nearly untamable," she said, her lips twitching with a sign of amusement.

Itachi meanwhile was relaxing on a couch in the lounge with a grape soda pop. It was his favourite pop and he decided to have one before he had to leave to join the battle. He figured that since he wasnt on one of the two teams that it meant that he was part of the battle group that would engaging the two sides. That could be dangerous for him as if they werent supposed to wipe them out he would need extra control of his power as it was a high ranked offensive power, eaning many would end up dead if he wasnt careful with his use. Still thanks to Wills extensive training he had great control of his power and he couldnt let himself look bad in front of will again especially with che in this mission as well his old teacher and boss. Sensing that it was time to go back to the meeting room soon he threw the empty bottle in the bin and began to head to elevator. He wondered as well where amaya had wondered off to and hoped she hadnt gotten lost or hurt.

((Maha you didn't post as Moli)) Amara thought she had contacted Lucien, but maybe she was wrong. As the sun set, she looked out of a widow from a chair as she thought. Was she ready to be a mother? Was her child going to be an OWL or Human? If it was an OWL, how deadly would it's powers would be...just numerous of these thoughts were at the caliber of these. She then made her way back to her room as she walked and poured some juice in a glass and sat on the bed. "Lucien...I'm...I'm pregnant...surprise, we're having a kid..." she said practicing on how to tell him that she was expecting. She just hoped Aeon hadn't blabbed to anyone yet.

 Ҝѻjῐrѻ Ίʐɑѻyѻῐ═━┈...The Border of Dreams┈━═The Fallen Phoenix 【╳】 xxxxxxxxxxxx㊌ The Frozen Owl....㊌ ╔═══════ Kojiro looked as she began to take key members down, beginning the ambush, He gasped slightly as the bloodshed began. As Serena was shooting in a quick flash he saw exactly why he was doing this, as the men began to enter and open fire, he did not waste another second, Kojiro launched the knives towards their necks, each finding their killing mark, taking the extra seconds of doubt and confusion he crated another knife as he stabbed another attacker in the back, quickly ripping the blade back out he flung the crimson stained weapon at another victim's head, silencing another. Without thinking he recklessly rushed into their sights, Kojiro tensed his body and in a powerful release, a wall of ice burst in front of him taking the barrage, "They are not showing any restraint!....They are planning on killing them all!..." he realized as the truth was finally becoming clearer to him,"...Humans....Owls...regardless...you have made you decision...now face the consequences!" as the wall began to crack, the ice began breaking apart, a few rounds made their way through and began to graze him, at that instant he clenched his hands, shattering the ice, and in one quick flurry, Kojiro launched an onslaught of shrapnel that created from the attackers own foolish actions. Ice began to creep over his hands as he rushed towards the groups once again, as he closed in on the armed attackers, he reared back a jagged frozen gauntlet, unleashing a heavy bone crushing blow, shattering the ice slightly, however the attack left him wide open for him to catch a butt-stock to the head, knocking him off balance and stunning him slightly. Quickly recovering from the blow he sent three more knives towards one of them, two hitting his chest and the last grazing his neck, leaving a gaping wound. 【 ✘】 ═══════╝

((TFP---Raven))
“Interesting..” Raven murmured as she stared blankly at the one who seemed to wield the same power as herself. She slid one foot behind the other as she watched the intruder prepare for another attack. “Hmph..” She couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed that there was another one who had control over shockwaves. It pissed her off more then she would let on. A few seconds passed before the mysterious male unleashed his attack on Raven. She waited, watched in silence as the shockwave ripped through the ground and travelled towards her A smile pulled on the left hand corner of her lips as she held up one hand and sent off her own Shockwave. The two forces met in the middle and battled for dominance. Civilians nearby seemed to sense the danger and began evacuating the area. It was clear that this particular fight was going to rage on and grow more and more fierce. “His no Roulin…But he seems like fun…” Raven said with a brief smile as both shockwaves died down, almost like they had called a small truce…Of course, that was not the case. Quickly, Raven released a few crescent moon shaped shockwaves towards the dark haired male. “Show me how good you are…”
((UNS---Daryle))
“And I do not care about their needs…I don’t plan on ‘making friends’ besides the few I have already met and become acquainted with. I guess some of them are alright enough to call a pal. Maybe.” Daryle said in a dry tone of voice as he counted out another 50 chips. “50, and I will see you for 10” The Breezy Owl sat up a bit straighter in his chair and smiled somewhat. “Just like you can be very generous, I can be very thoughtful.” Daryle placed his cards face down on the table and awaited for Will to show his cards. He rose one eyebrow when Will said about the others not missing Daryle, the eyebrow quickly went back to its normal level and the Blonde male let out a carefree chuckle “Ah, the feeling will be mutual. I will be enjoying the company of my wife and child and not even thinking about the fighting going on in South America or the fighting that seems to go on amongst those gathered here.” A short break followed Daryle’s words before he opened his mouth to speak again. “I will probably detour over to Mikhail’s place before heading to Spain. He has located the missing shipment…I guess I should offer him some assistance and I can then also confirm that it is sent to the correct location.”

((UNS - Amaya))
Amaya hadn't really wandered off anywhere at the meeting. She had walked off to a room adjacent to the meeting room and ...fell asleep. Itachi would find her on a random sofa. The Clueless Owl was dreaming and tears were coming out of her eyes. "...dad..?....Ita....chi....."
--------------------------------------------------
((UNS - Will))
Will simply smirked at Daryle's response. There was, of course, a reason he had taken Daryle in under his wing, and the UNS (and anyone else) didn't have to know that Daryle was one of many that really worked for Will. The way the two of them acted was enough to mask that. Besides, Daryle was...usually his usual happy go lucky self. Friends? There was no need. Will's only true tie to the UNS was Che, and Daryle's....well, Will made him join the UNS.
"Hmm, you win!" the Satan Owl commented with a grin as he laid down five cards face up. They were a Jack, an Ace, and a Queen separated by the blank card and the card with instructions. Maybe it was suspicious that the cards spell "JAQ." Either way, clearly, it wasn't a usual poker hand that held any value whatsoever.
Will didn't need to say anything about the missing shipment. It was obvious that those responsible for taking the shipment would suffer dire consequences under Mikhail's lead assisted by Daryle. People could not expect to mess with the higher ups of the underworld without suffering immensely. That held especially true for the Satan Owl's businesses....because he was de facto king of the underworld. "Well, do give Freya and Erin my greetings."

dragon-talk Anya nodded in agreement with Nikolai's statement about preferring not to get killed by other owls. She couldn't help but smile slightly in amusement at the way he put it so bluntly. Shaking her head, she noticed the food being brought to their table. She gave the waiter a thank you before picking up her fork and starting to eat. After one bite, Anya had to stop because she hadn't eaten anything this good for a few months. Thankfully, it didn't seem that Nik had noticed her reaction to the food. When Nik tried to pay for the food with his credit card, Anya found it strange that it wouldn't work, as it had always worked before. She'd ask him about it later though. As they exited the restaurant, Anya put her hands in her pockets as she followed after Nikolai, who was once again bobbing his head to his music and dancing around. "Nah. We should just go back to our rooms. Besides, we've had a long couple of days anyway."

((TFP---Serena))
As Kojiro leapt into action, Serena took a back seat. Simply watching how the kid moved and dealt with those fighting against him. She was rather pleased with his approach to the problem. “Heh, someone will be getting chirasii after all.” For a moment longer Serena done nothing, but she was not one to stand still while there was a chance to shoot and kill. With her smile still in place, Serena entered the restaurant and took down the person nearest to her. She was still invisible and so it was easy for her to kill without putting herself at a risk. She edged towards Kojiro and laughed softly “You are doing very well. Just think about all these little Owls you have saved from death…all though…” Serena’s voice trailed off as her eyes located a small body of a young girl. Her pretty pale pink dress was marked with blood and her light blue eyes were open wide in terror as she stared at nothingness. “We can never save everyone….” War or not…it was never right to kill such young children.
Serena patted the Frozen Owl on the back as she pulled out her twin daggers. With movements that were precise and graceful, the silver haired woman leapt over a table towards a man wielding an AK47. She latched herself to him by wrapping her legs around his torso, “Time to sleep…” She whispered to the startled male as she rose each dagger into the air and brought them both downwards until they stabbed deeply into the guys neck.. A gurgled cry left his lips as he managed to shake Serena off him. She laughed at his feeble movements. Placing a hand on one of her hips, Serena watched the man battling for his life “It is pointless to struggle. Your already dieing.” The mans eyes seemed to mimic the small girls eyes as he feel to his knees. For a second longer he fought for breath before crashing forwards. “Weak….”
((UNS---Daryle))
Daryle blinked a few times at the shockingly crap hand that Will had been given. After a few moments the Breezy Owl cracked into a wide grin before laughing in complete amusement “Well now, I think we should invite Cerb to shuffle the cards more often.. Hahaha, I can not believe that you carried on playing with such atrocious cards.” His laughter died down and he finally revealed his own weak hand. A straight that inevitable sliced through Will’s cards. “Well now, what a fine way to end a game…With one game ending a new one is bound to start…” Daryle held up an empty hand and waved it around until a card appeared from seemingly out of nowhere. The blonde male placed the card down onto the table, revealing it to be another joker. “And new players will join in.” He covered the card with one hand and smirked before pulling his hand back. Where the joker once laid now sat the King of diamonds. “Still, I find the same kind of games boring when it repeats.” Darlye sliced the king in half with a sharp bit of condensed air and smiled “I will be sure to tell Erin and Freya you said hello.”

((UNS - Will))
The Satan Owl smirked and chuckled at Daryle's laughter and at Daryle's own hand. "Mmhmmm. Perhaps. You'd like that, wouldn't you, Cerb?" the blonde devil glanced down at Cerberus who was still laying on the floor. The three headed dog opened one eye and stuck three tongues out, as if mocking both Will and Daryle. Will turned back to Daryle and smirked. "It makes it more exciting. It's just a game as this whole world is. If the repeat bores, then simply use your imagination to make it more exciting," Will replied as he grinned watching Daryle slice the card in half. "New players and new toys..." There was a trace of dark humor in Will's voice. The Breezy Owl was one of Will's "jokers". "Ah... well, now. You do that." Will nodded, commenting on Daryle saying that he would pass on greetings to his wife and daughter.

Kate scoffed at what Che said about the changes she needed to make to how she viewed her own life. "And you, brovah," Kate retorted, making fun of the way Che was speaking to life some kind of perverted valley girl. "Need to learn to calm down." She said, rolling her eyes a little bit when Che mentioned playing a card game. However, when Che suddenly stopped walking, Kate nearly bumped right into him, but she managed to stop herself in time. She looked at Che, "What? Why did you stop?" she asked him before he just walked right past her back to where they had been standing moments before. The Eternity Owl stared at Che in annoyance. But she soon got her answer as Che exclaimed and swore about some airport being attacked by something. Kate's eyes narrowed as she followed back after Che to where they had stood before and looked out to where Che had pointed earlier. She could see the smoke rising from the airport in the distance. She scowled slightly before glancing at Che out of the corner of her vision. "Makes you think of what? It is only an airport. A material object that can be rebuilt once this whole infernal war is over."
====
"Alright, so I miscounted. Who cares?" Anya replied shaking her head in disbelief at Nikolai's response. "But yeah. You're right. We could definitely use some well deserved rest." Anya looked down at her feet for a moment as she walked. She hardly noticed that Nik had started walking backwards to watch the sunset. It was then that out of nowhere, a strong blast of shockwave energy shot towards Nikolai and Anya from behind. The blast shoved Anya forward, knocking the air from her lungs. The next thing she knew, her body was rolling painfully along the ground.
If Anya or Nikolai had really been paying attention, they would have caught sight of Johan following them. The stoic UNS officer had been watching them for some time now. He figured that now, before they left to help with the South American rebels was as good a time as any to kill his daughter.
====
Other than not wanting to risk going back to the room and running into her sister there, Erin was just not feeling very well. Unfortunately, her stomach could not settle down, and she had the compulsion to vomit into the closest garbage can. Ofcourse, as when anyone vomits, it was not a pleasant feeling not did it smell pleasant. Erin stood up straight when she no longer felt like she had anything left to regurgitate. The stress was obviously getting to her. Looking around, she spotted a stray cat which was watching her from the opposite end of the alley. It wandered over to her and looked up with its glowing eyes. Without thinking first, Erin crouched down to look closely at the cat. Her head tilted to the side before a shaking hand reached out to touch the small creature before her. Her hand gently stroked the cat once or twice before her other hand grabbed the poor cat by the neck and squeezed, cutting off its air supply. She ended up squeezing so hard that she heard the soft cracking of the bone in the neck snapping, which meant the cat was most definitely dead now. So before she knew it or could stop herself, Erin tore a chunk of skin from the cat's neck and began drinking its blood. Right now, her psyche was just unstable from the stress, so she had the compulsion to drink blood. She just couldn't drink the blood of people. It was only a couple of minutes before Erin managed to get a hold of herself and threw the dead weight of the cat's body away from her down the alley. She was scared and she had no idea where to turn. With that, Erin turned away from the alley and began stumbling down the street once more.

"Eh, it may be a material object, but I'm sure there were people in it..." Che replied with disappointment. The war was getting closer and closer to them and the airport across the bay was just a disheartening reminder of it. Che, being the weak-hearted owl he was, didn't truly want to assist in this war, but now he was in it until it's end. Thankfully, he had Will and Thomas to do most of his fighting. The bite of pain he felt for those lost in that explosion wained gradually and allowed him to turn away from it. It was then that through squinted eyes, he noticed a faint path of smoke that curved from the runway towards where they stood.
There it was. A 747 commericial airplane whose four engines and fuselage were engulfed in flames. Che's eyes widened at the sight as it drew near bringing with it the loud screeching cry of metal forcing itself past more metal. The turbines were hanging only by rivets now. One was lost when it skimmed the mountain. <******** terrorists..." The jet engine bounced along the mountaintop towards the two unlucky owls. Che, lamenting more work, sidestepped his way in front of Kate and placed up a razor sharp, V-shaped shield of paper. The jet engine was sliced into leaving the outside of the sheild lacerated and slightly charred. The plane couldn't be stopped, but at least the engine part could. Sighing heavily as the paper fell, Che looked back to Kate and asked, "Did you see that? I blocked that! Oh, and are you alright? Couldn't have you dying you know?"
~~~
"I see why Che made Lucien a team leader already...it wouldn't be smart to have both of us on the same team. I guess I'll be working with you, my brother and...Erin? I...don't know Erin." Roulin shook his head, then smiled a light smile. His father was smarter than he seemed. He'd have to wait until the teams were actually doing something to see if Che had a real strategy though. Behind him were the blueprints that Cecilia had kept. A part of him wanted to read them, but another just wanted to relax...the half that wanted to relax obviously was stronger. Thanks to the azure beauty that sat by his side, he had his decision. Her fingers cruised through his hair like a breeze through a dense field. Even when she caught a tangled spot, he simply chuckled at the light stinging sensation that soon followed.
"Yeah, your hair is just as bad as mine...it's everywhere..." Roulin replied as he traced his slender fingers through the white, cloud like torrents that was her poofy white hair. It was moments like these that could bring a laugh out of the fatigued young man. These moments of clarity, of relaxation was all that he asked for. Moments were nothing else mattered and the world was safe. His hands pulled from the girl's untamed pastel locks and fell to her face in a soft caress. "Cecilia..." Roulin spoke in a more tamed tone of voice. "Can you put the blueprints somewhere that I can get to later? I just want to relax right now..."

The shockwave was unexpected to say the least, and it nearly threw Nikolai off his feet, luckily he was already stepping on shadow, so he simply grabbed his legs and held himself upright with his shadows. The same, however, couldn't be said for Anya, who rolled along the ground for a short distance before stopping. Nik whipped around to find the source; it was that quiet guy from the UNS, Nik didn't bother to learn his name. Nik's shadows let go of his legs and he yelled to Johan, "What the hell man!? You got some sort of grudge against us?!" Nik could tell that Johan wanted a fight, so he pulled his scythe out of its holster and extended it, ready for a fight. He controlled his shadows to help Anya to her feet and asked, "Anya, you okay? This guy obviously wants his a** kicked, shall we oblige?" Nik smiled lightly, still standing right where he was, waiting for Johan to either answer him, or make the first move and attack. He wondered what the heck his problem was, and why he was attacking him and Anya.
