Dante said “ya she checked it on her way back. Still secure. Looks like that location is still safe. She has the reports from pixie village.” He looked over at Midnight and rested a hand on her shoulder.

“Just rest boss…we are safe…”

Matias mostly sat in silence for the majority of the ride. On the occasion that he did peep words, it was to ask on Midnight's status, which while stable remained mostly unchanged. Eventually, the manor was just over the horizon, and shortly after they were parked in front of it. Matias popped the door open with his foot, carrying Midnight out. He felt like he'd have to start getting used to doing this.

Oleander was outside, their head buried in a bush. What looked like their mask's proboscis laid atop a handful of papers.

"WELCOME BACK," they signed, not turning away from the bush at any moment.

Bane walked over and blinked at the bug. “Umm…may I ask what your doing in the bush?” Dante followed Matias, limping a little as he went. Midnight stirred a little again but wasn’t strong enough just yet.

Matias didn't say a word to Oleander, only side-eying them as he walked towards the door and waited for entry. Now that everyone was close to them, Oleander could quite clearly be heard sipping and swallowing.

"I'M EATING," they signed, not moving still. "EXCUSE ME."

Eventually, they did pull away. A long, tendril-like appendage emerged after their head and slowly curled up against their face. As they stood up, they took their mask's proboscis in one hand and the papers in the other, attaching the former where it belonged with a "click". They stepped towards the door, brushing past a pale Matías who looked like he had just seen Death in person, and opened it for the three men, code and all.

"I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE YOU THREE. FOUR. HAVE BEEN."

Bane blinked to get back to earth and said “we went to the capital building to see what we could find…and happened to see you leave and then they were hit by the purists. We were able to get people out then the boss…”

He turned to look at midnight and said “did something I’ve never seen before…l

Oleander nodded softly.

"YES. THE BUILDING WAS BOMBED. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO HOLD FOR MUCH LONGER."

Their eyes fell on Midnight now. They tilted their head in curiosity.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO LADY MIDNIGHT?"

"Nothing," Matias huffed, stepping through the door. "She'll be fine. I think."

Dante sighed and said “she used old magic. I could sense it when it went thru…like the same thing I sensed when I woke up. She used that same power to blow me didn’t she?”

Oleander gave Dante a near-unbreakable and silent stare. Their hands were to their sides, and their head sat straight on their neck. That in combination with their garb made them look like the perfect soldier. Just like a soldier, too, they weren't going to back down on orders.

"LADY MIDNIGHT HAS REQUESTED THAT THE MATTER NOT BE DISCUSSED," they signed, "YOU MAY CHOOSE TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WISH, BUT IT WILL NEITHER BE CONFIRMED NOR DENIED."

Dante nodded snd said “that’s enough to confirm it.” He looked at Matias and said “she needs bedrest even if it’s force…”

"I know," Matias grumbled, "I'm on it. Give me time."

He trudged up the steps leading to the guest room, heaving with every step. Halfway there he remembered the lift, but it was too late for that now. He nudged the door open and repeated the all-too-familar process of laying Midnight down on a free bed. This was something else he had to get used to.

Oleander didn't bother with such complications, simply flying to the top of the steps before stepping inside. They splayed their papers out on a nightstand, looking over the miniscule text.

Bane and Dante followed, Iris looking up from the small desk. “What happened? I heard bombs going off from here…is she alright?”

Midnight turned her head a little as Dante said “she’s over done it. Matias was able to get her out”

Matias settled his tired, tired body on the adjacent bed, the bed creaking under his weight. A hand ran through his hair as he sighed deeply.

"She used a crapton of her magic or whatever to fend off some purists. She's stable, but it'll be a bit til she wakes up..."

He looked towards the group.

"Why do you guys care so much that her magic is old, anyway? You keep bringing it up, but I don't see the problem."

Bane sat down and said “right, you are new at this part. So as there are becoming more humans, the old Magics are dying off. New styles appear but nothing as strong as the old school. In this day and age, there not really much left of the old school styles we have seen the last few days. And partly because anyone using it is hunted down and they vanish…rumor is they are taken to a government lab and experimented on to learn more about the magic they hold…”

So that's the problem.

Matias gulped softly.

"Well damn, as if they don't want her dead enough... Right."

His head met the pillow and his back the mattress. His arms folded and sat close to his chest.

"Makes it all the better that she's constantly putting herself at death's door."

Bane nodded and said “it explains why she was trying to stay off the radar. And hiding her face…she must have been worried if they found out about her they would come for the whole team…”

"Hrmm..."

Matias turned to Midnight from where he laid. Not that he expected her to shoot up and start talking now, but he hoped that her bedridden state would last a night at most.

"THEY ARE EXPERIMENTING ON EVERYONE."

Matias looked towards the monotone voice. He saw a giant moth hunched over some wordy sheets of paper.

"POWER EXTRACTION. PAIN ENDURANCE. LABOR PRODUCTIVITY. THEY DID ALL THIS TO THIS SUBJECT. THEY MUST HAVE DONE THE SAME WITH MY COMRADE."

Bane looked over and asked “you mean the ones taken? Do you think it’s all linked to the same thing?”

Oleander didn't look from the paper even when Bane approached. Only their hands decided to make contact by speaking.

"YES. THE SAME MOTIVE, AT LEAST."

One hand moved forwards, pushing the topmost sheet from its place to further reveal the others. The contents were more or less the same, the only difference being who was being experimented on. One seemed to have caught their attention because they proceeded to pull it towards their face to read it more closely.

Bane picked up the page and read it over. “They are right. All the names here are the ones taken except the dukes niece. So why was she taken?” Dante was pacing as he thought then muttered “what if…she was taken by mistake?”

As Oleander sat themselves down to look at their paper, Matias rose.

"Aren't there other files in that box you found? She's gotta be in there somewhere in considering how she hasn't resurfaced yet."
