Ryan looked into her eyes and smiled. For a moment he thought about her words to him. "Well," he said softly, "Honestly what gets me through these cases and all these stories. I think about their futures. I think about how different they will be, and I hope. I hope for the best for all of these people." He sighed softy. "But Jessica isn't the worst I've seen. There are many more that are just as worse if not worst. But when I find them. I help them. I help guide them, protect them, and nurture them." Ryan wrapped her own hands around her, he's hands around her waist. Ryan smiled slightly. "I'm glad you will be there. Because I do want you as my mate. I want you to be there, and I for you. I want to raise a family with you. And not only do I want to, I will." Ryan said with a large smile on his face.

Ryan chuckled about her bothering him at work. He kissed her forehead. "Reagan, you will never be a bother. But I do have things to do. I'll have Bonnie take you to registry. And we will talk when we are home. I'm taking tomorrow off so I can start it.." Ryan kissed her softly and smiled. He walked to his desk and picked up a small piece of paper. "Bonnie" He spoke to the paper. The womans name appeared on the paper and then caught fire. It flew out of Ryans hand and flew to the door, swooped down, and slid under the door. Ryan looked up at Reagan. Then he pulled something from his desk. It was a small piece of paper. Ryan walked over to Reagan and handed it to her. On the paper was a coat of arms. It was a simple looking. It was a circle with what looked like the tree of life on it that had been blacked out. on either side there were bear paws. and in the center of the paws and tree, there was a crescent moon.

A smile came across his face. "Give this to the person that registers you. It will let them know that you are part of my family, and they will put it in your file. This will link you to me forever in this worlds eyes." Ryan said before kissing her softly and a knock on the door echoed in the room. The door opened and the fragile looking Bonnie walked in.

"You sent for me Ryan?" asked Bonnie with a smile on her face. "Yes", he responded. "I need you to take Reagan to registry and have her registered. Once that is done, I need you to bring her back her. Also while you are waiting for her to finish her registry, I need you to call Laura and find out where she is with the things I sent for. Make sure Laura is back here before Reagan is. Then, once everything is squared away, you may leave for the rest of the day." Ryan smiled at Bonnie who was quickly writing everything down on a pad with a pencil. She nodded and smiled. "Yes of course Ryan. Anything for tomorrow?" she asked with a smile on her face. "Ummm......oh tomorrow, take the day off because I won't be in the office." He said. Bonnie smiled and looked at Reagan. "Come child. Lets get to work."

When Bonnie turned Ryan quickly kissed Reagan on the forehead before returning to his desk. Bonnie waited outside the door for Reagan, then once Reagan was out of Ryans office, she started through the department with Reagan. Bonnie smiled at Reagan. "You're a lucky girl. But I hope you know what you are getting yourself into. Ryan is a good man, does a lot of good things, but at the same time, he is troubled." She said softly as they passed people. "Ryan deals with a lot at this job, and every case he takes, takes a toll on him. He's haunted by the harder ones.". Bonnie looked at Reagan. They went through the department and back to the elevators. Bonnie found an opened one and stepped in with Reagan. She pressed a button and the elevator door closed. After a few moments. The door opened into a large lobby looking room. But there was only one door, and very few people started around. As Bonnie walked she had a slight limp. She could tell that Reagan was noticing it.

"Don't worry about me child. It's an old fighting injury. I may be old, and I may look weak, but back in my day, I was a very strong Lava Elemental. I still am."She said softly before leaning in. "I limp so people will be nicer to me." She laughed lightly as she opened the door into a large room. The room was huge. It looked like a library. There were floor to ceiling shelves. (20 feet), however, there were floor to ceiling filling cabinet draws which were set into the wall. The room was quick except for the low whispering of a few people. In the center of a room were a few desk with people sitting behind them. Bonnie walked to one. A older lady sat there. Her hair was short and steel grey. She had on bright red horned rimmed glasses that had strings leading from them. to the back of her neck. The woman's skin was brown and wrinkled. She looked up from her paper work and looked at Bonnie and smiled. They both nodded to each other like old friends. Bonnie smiled and turned and walked away.

The woman smiled at Reagan. " I'm Ms.Joyce. I assume you're here to register. Have a seat and we will get started." Joyce stood for a moment to shake Reagans hand and then sat back down. She leaned down for a moment and quickly came up with a couple sheets of paper. in her hand. "So just answer these questions and we will get you all squared away. If you have any questions just ask." she said as she placed the papers in front of Reagan on the desk. "So you the nearest to be discovered by Ryan. So what happened? How did he find you?" she said courteously.

As she looked at the piece of paper in her hand, his words made her spine get a chill. This would link her to Ryan forever in the world of the Elementals. For some reason, that made everything seem real. She nodded at his request for her to follow Bonnie to the registry. “Okay, don’t work too hard.” She said with a small smile as she felt his lips press against her forehead. She took a deep breath and followed Bonnie out of the door. She looked over at her when she called her a lucky girl but hoped that she was aware of what she was getting herself into. That brought a unsettling feeling in her stomach and she shook her head. “I know what he’s been through but I’m hoping that he won’t bring his work home with him.” She said softly as she continued to walk with her and noticed her limp.

Bonnie began to explain that she was a Lava elemental, and Reagan’s eyes quickly widened. Lava was involved with fire, which was what looked like Reagan was going to be. She sighed in relieve that Bonnie was older and had these gifts and was able to maintain them, just like she would eventually. She smiled at Bonnie and nodded. “Hey, if the limping works, might as well use it.” She said honestly as she stepped into a rather large room. The ceiling was high and the entire room looked like a huge library which brought some ease with Reagan. It felt like home. She walked over to the desk and looked at the older woman sitting behind the desk. When Reagan turned around, Bonnie was gone and she was alone with Ms. Joyce. She cleared her throat and sat down.

Reagan grabbed the paper gently from the woman and looked over the questions quietly. Her ears perked up when she asked how Ryan found her. She swallowed hard and took a deep breath. “Well..it’s a bit of a long story. I wasn’t born an elemental. I sort of.. Inherited it.” She said. She could tell by the womans face that she was just as confused as Reagan was about this whole process. She wanted to lie and make up a whole story about how she was from a big family of elementals and that Ryan happened to find her when her powers began to appear but she knew that lying wasn’t her strongest suit. She reached into her pocket and gave Ms. Joyce the paper that Ryan had gave her.

“I’m Ryan Blackwood’s mate.” She said softly. Saying it was weird as much as it was to fill out the form. She took a pen and began to scribble down her life onto the paper. Her hands were shaking as she did this. Writing her parents’ names down was enough to bring sadness to her heart and it took a lot to not tear up.

Reagan finished the questionare and looked at Ms. Joyce. She handed her the paper and cleared her throat. She saw the way that the woman looked at her. Ryan was a very influential man and it was clear that Ms. Joyce was in awe of her and it made her feel uncomfortable. “So, is there anything else I have to do Ms. Joyce? I don’t want to take up any more of your time.”

Ms. Joyce looked at Reagan over here horn rimmed glasses. She smiled softly and looked over the form. "Ryan said his mate would be coming in," she said softly, "But he didn't tell me what you looked like." Joyce smiled at her and raised her hand over the stone tile floor. She looked like she was grabbing and invisible door knob. Joyce turned her hand and a largre square rose out of the floor. On top was a rectangular prism. Gripping it, Joyce broke it off. Then she reached into her desk for a ink pad. She opened the ink pad and placed the stamp into it and quickly stamped the paper at the top and bottom. A smile on her face the whole time. The stamp left in the blank ink was the Coat of Arms that Ryan had given Reagan.

"Now the next step is do you have any accounts with any bank. Muggle or Magical, " she said as she reached into her desk and pulled out a small tin of paper clips. But before Reagan could answer Bonnie walked up with a folder in her hand. S cell phone glued to her ear. "Ryan's money is her money." Bonnie said looking at Joyce. "Link her name with his accounts." Bonnie said quickly before walking off again. Joyce opened the folder and smiled up at Reagan. She laid the papers out and quickly stamped all of them. Joyce paper clipped all the papers back together and tossed the folder into a small trash can next to her desk.

Joyce looked up at Reagan. "I'll be back in a moment. I'll just file this away." Joyce stood from her desk. Now that she was standing you could see that she was a taller woman with a little bit of weight on her. She walked from her desk and started down the aisle of floor to ceiling filing cabinets. Joyce disappeared for a few moments before returning to her desk. Joyce sat back down and started to return things to her desk drawers. Joyce smiled at Reagan. "Please be good to Ryan." she said with a more serious look on her face and serious tone in her voice. "He's a very wonderful man and he means a lot to a lot of people. He's more kind to people then he would like to admit it." Joyce smiled to herself. Leaning back in her chair, Joyce pulled her glasses off her face and let them dangle around her breast. "Ryan discovered me. I was much older, but my powers came in several years ago. My children were grown, my husband passed. He treated me like family. He brought me here and got me to where I needed to be. Listen to me when I tell you this Miss, Ryan is an amazing man. Never forget that. But remember. You will have to sacrifice for him sometimes, but in return, that man will sacrifice a lot for you. He's young, but he is wise. Ryan always tries to do what is best for everyone." Joyce looked down at her desk before looking back up at Reagan. "Beg pardon, and excuse me when I say this. Don't ruin him like Nikki did.

"JOYCE!" Bonnie yelled from behind Reagan. She walked over. "That's enough dear. Don't scare the child." Joyce looked at Bonnie and smiled. Bonnie motioned for Reagan to stand and before they left, the ladies blew kisses at each other. As they walked away Bonnie sighed. "Please excuse her. Joyce care a lot for Ryan. She knows what Nikki did to him, as did a lot of people. Nikki just wasn't a pain to that family, but a pain to this institution as well. Nikki nearly killed several people in this building trying to get to Ryan, the family, and Ryans information. Actually, this all happened a few months ago. Joyce and I actually fought her. My limp, was because of Nikki, and she nearly killed Joyce." She said to Reagan before they stepped into the elevator and it started up. "Ryan didn't know, he still doesn't know. Those of us who fought for him, haven't told him. Ryan would be in pain to know that she did that to us. And several other people. He doesn't even know that when she tried to get into the file room that his brothers Thor, and Micheal fought. Thor is now nearly blind in one eye, and Micheal had to have water pumped from his body." Bonnie looked down at the floor before looking at Regan. "We love that family, but Ryan is very special." Bonnie paused for a moment. "Just please follow your heart when it comes to him.

It was more than overwhelming to say the least. Reagans mind was so wrapped up in trying to keep up with this whole ordeal that she almost lost sight of reality. The truth was, she was more scared now in life then she ever was but at the same time, she never felt stronger. Ryan brought out a confidence in her that she couldn't fully understand yet. Ms Joyce was kind and seemed willing to help but she could tell by the sound of her voice and the tone at which she studied Reagan, she was weary of her. Nikki had done so much damage to Ryan and his family and Reagan understood that. It made her uncomfortable when people warned and pleaded with her to not hurt Ryan as Nikki had. In fact, it almost felt insulting that anyone would compare her to the monster that nearly destroyed the man she loved. She tried to shrug it off as she listened, knowing full well that everyone just had good intentions when it came to Ryan.

When the subject of bank accounts came up, she barely got to open her mouth when Bonnie walked over with a folder stating that Ryan's money was hers too. She shifted in her seat a little as the whole subject became unreasonably uncomfortable. She tried to protest but Joyce and Bonnie didn't give her a chance. Besides, she knew that no matter how hard she protested, Ryan would ultimately keep her name on his accounts anyway. She sighed softly to herself and decided it was best to let it be even if she knew deep down she would never touch his money. It really wasn't hers to touch. He was the one who had saved all that money and earned it, not her. She did have her own money from the shops that she worked at but with her business going down since the attack, it was likely that most of her money would be gone because of all the damages that happened to the buildings that she was paying rent for. She shook her head, not wanting to have to think about that.

After the meeting with Ms Joyce was over, she stood up and smiled a little and thanked the woman before walking out with Bonnie. She kept her mouth shut as Bonnie explained why everyone was so on edge with her and how Nikki had treated Ryan and his family. She shook her head, not wanting to ever think about that horrible woman again. Her name alone caused her skin to became lava hot. If she wasn't dead already, Reagan probably would've killed her herself if she had the chance. She looked over at Bonnie and nodded. "I know everyone cares for the Blackwoods, especially Ryan. I know that everyone is going to be suspicious of me at first but I'm not here to ruin him by any means. I know that being with Ryan means a lot of struggles but I don't care about that. He's the only man I've ever saw myself being with." she said honestly as she continued to walk with Bonnie.

As she got into the elevator, she allowed her mind to wander for a moment again. She wasn't sure exactly where they were going but she had a good feeling that she wasn't finished there. Her stomach was in knots at this point and all she wanted to do was go back to bed. It would've been a lot to take it for anyone but she was surprisingly taking it better than she even thought. Perhaps it was because she had seen Ryan earlier that helped or maybe it was knowing that she wasn't alone and that there were others who were scared about their new found powers, too. She stretched her neck out a bit and tried to wake herself up. Her skin was getting warmer and it only made her more tired.

"So, where do I have to go to next?" she asked.

Bonnie smiled and nodded at Reagan for her comment. She then looked in front of her and smiled. "We are going back to Ryan's office. I'm not sure what he wants to do, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it." Bonnie said before stepping before an elevator and pressing a button. The elevator door opened and she stepped in with Reagan. She then pressed another button and the elevator door closed and it began to move. Bonnie sighed and looked at Reagan. "Don't take what people say so harshly. I know it's hard not too. I think you'll be great with him. He's already in love with you and if I know Ryan, and I do. He will lay his life down for you and do anything he could to protect you and simply do anything for you that he could. Ryan is a sweet man. You are a very lucky girl." Bonnie said. "Ryan reminds me of my late husband. I think that's why I love working for Ryan so much. When I look at him, I'm reminded of my husband." Bonnie looked up at Reagan and smiled widely, then she nugged her with with her elbow. "Don't worry though. He's too young for me, and I was so in love with my husband that I never want to forget it." Bonnie said with a smile on her face, trying to make a joke.

The elevator stopped and the door opened up into the large elevator room that that were in before they when to register Reagan. Bonnie stepped out and started down the corridor back to Ryan's office. the large room that was filled with desk was quiet. Not empty, but quiet. Everyone was sitting at there desk silently. They all looked up at Reagan and Bonnie as they walked past. As they got closer to Ryan's office door the sound of him shouting echoed through the large work room.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS DEAD!" Rang Ryans voice. " I GAVE YOU THREE ONE SIMPLE THING TO DO. BRING HER HERE. AND YOU LET HER DIE. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE YOU THREE THIS JOB IS BECAUSE YOUR FATHER RECOMMENDED YOU. I GAVE YOU A SHOT AND YOU BLEW IT." His voice died down and Bonnie stepped up to the door. It wasn't hard the hear what Ryan was saying since his voice was still elevated.

"The plan was full proof." Ryan said. "I gave you three all a job and it was simple. There was going to be no one around her. I get that you were ambushed. But instead of protecting her, you let her be killed by the yellow eyes because you were cowards and ran away. That is not what we do here. We fight. We save lives. We here are strong....all but you three. You all went through the same training with my sister. I know what she taught you and what she drilled in those thick fuc*ing skulls of yours. I should have never trusted this with you. But I did because I thought it would be a good idea to give you a chance. I thought because your father is a respected and wise man that I could put my trust in you. But I was wrong. As of now you three are on leave, on leave until I can sort this whole thing out. And when you return you will be put back into Training because it obviously didn't take like it should have. This means you rank two status is now gone. You all three are back at rank one." The room was silent for a moment before the door to Ryans office opened and three young men about in their 20's walked out. All three of them looked exactly a like. As they walked out their heads were down.

Bonnie shook her head before knocked on the door. "WHAT IS IT?!" Rang Ryans voice. Bonnie walked in and smiled. "It's done Ryan. She's registered. She looked at Ryan, but her warmth was gone. Ryan was sitting at his desk smoking a cigarette. His hair was messed up and his eyes were red from crying. "Is there anything I could get you. Some tea possibly?" Bonnie asked with a small smile on her face. She hated to see Ryan like this.

Ryan looked up from his desk as he took a draw from his cigarette. "No, that will be all today. You may go home. I'll see you in a couple days." Ryan said with a forced smile on his face. Bonnie nodded and walked out leave Ryan and Reagan alone. Ryan looked up at Reagan and smiled softly. "So how much of that did you hear?" He asked softly
