Layla stayed sitting against the wall, unsure about being surrounded by a lot of people. Seeing as her parents had to hide Lilith and herself, they were not around people very often and so the angel was very much uncomfortable being trapped in a room with people crazy enough to try and kill her. She wrapped her wings in tighter around her, finding it strange that Lilith was silent; probably still seething about their current predicament.

It was then that she noticed a girl that had hidden behind the boy that had been unconscious was giving her a small smile. Layla gave her a timid smile in return, slightly glad someone seemed normal....at least as normal as you could given you weren't human. She jumped slightly when a loud voice rang through the room and she looked over to see that the smiling girl had tipped her chair over and was giggling on the floor. She quickly looked away, not sure it wise to make eye-contact.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Karou continued to remain curled up in the corner, watching the others with her normal wide-eyed expression. The man in darkness scared her and made her nervous every time he came into the room. The white-haired boy seemed okay and the rest were okay as well...sort of. She hugged Mary closer to her chest, wishing Garry was there.

As if summoned, a young man that appeared in his late teens materialized next to her. His stock of light and dark purple hair fell around his bright blue eyes as he gave Karou a gentle smile. Karou smiled back happily, not realizing that Garry was not real but an illusion she was creating with her mind.

Konrad entered the holding area flanked by two armed guards. Despite the collars, they still insisted to have guards sent in with conventional rifles. "Just to be safe" they said. Bah, the presence of armed guards merely hindered his work. He swore up and down that if one more subject was gunned down for "reaching for something they couldn't see" Konrad would raise hell. But here came the highlight of everyday, the experimentation and questioning. He might as well start with the new arrivals... "Alright, who the hell is.. Id...Idee.... Fuck it. Would the bloody... fairy or some shit you claim yourself to be come up with your sister? And don't try anything funny. I don't want a repeat of last week... the blood stains still won't come out of the floor..."

Jason turned upon seeing Konrad enter the room and pushed aries completley behind him. So he stood between the guards and his little sister. From the way the boy glared at the guards, it was obvious he was planning something, escape or to just flat out kill the guards. It is unkown which choice the boy was currently considering

Idera, whom was completely relax, froze and her eyes widened. Imma looked at her with a protective strength she tried to send to Idera through telepathy. Idera, looking at her sister for a second, said "i-is it okay if I go alone?" Imma looked at her with a 'are you crazy?!' look. Idera lowered her head and walked toward the older man, her entire body shaking.

Adrian sighed inwardly and let his hand fall to his side, he didn't turn around but he changed his sight to be watching Konrad.

He was frozen in place, he hadn't gone for a..."walk" in a long while...but when he heard who was being called he was just as saddened

They hadn't been here for a day even...hopefully it was just a...introduction, they were still hurt and he didnt hink the "doctors" would care...

Adrian set his eyesight to look at most the others, he was wondering what reaction would arise...especially from the crazy one, Adrian half expected her to run up to Konrad with open arms

Konrad simply gave a look of exasperation. "Go alone or together, I really don't give a damn. But your sister's going to have to come up, sooner or later. Come over here and we can start preliminary testing." The scientist started to prepare the vials and syringes as he waited for the subject to walk up towards him. IT seemed for once that he might see cooperation from a more civilized supernatural. If only the others were so willing, usually he'd have to break a few ribs to coax them to come for testing.

"Sir, a kid is looking at me funny. Can I empty a mag into that ugly motherfucker? Staring ain't polite you know....." Konrad sighed. It seemed the guards were as trigger happy as usual. "If he's making you uneasy, just keep your rifle pointed at him. Weren't you a delta seal or some black ops soldier? He's only a teenager, you're a highly trained killer. You could beat him to death even if he did try something...." The guards gave a reluctant nod and kept their rifles trained upon Jason, laser sights were aimed on his forehead. "Any sudden moves punk, and you won't be recognizable to your sister after we're done with you... Ever hear of hollow-point rounds? They'll rip you apart you cocksucker."

Elizabeth just looked at the suited man. She just waited, and seeing the stance in which his highness took, she wouldn't have to wait for long. That was the hope anyway. Get a good show from mister protector. What more than to watch a boy who thought so highly of himself, get beaten down by those in which Elizabeth was apparently a stain on? A sneer grew on her face. The boy had it completely wrong. For Elizabeth to call herself human would be an embarrassment, and for humans to say they could become what she is would be like telling the worlds worst joke. Humanity was pathetic, only those with the mental capacity to realize change will always happen would be spared any wrath Elizabeth had. But for now, she was a toy for humans. Children that needed to be taught their place and no longer be spoiled. Mother Earth would agree with Elizabeth, seeing as the human race was destroying her little by little. Only a matter of time before the planet beat her to wiping most of the human population.

"Weee" Sam squeaked as she just ran towards Konrad. "I wanna go too!" She said as she pretty much hugged the suited man. "Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I?" Only a girl like Sam would run towards a man guarded by two hardened killers and still act like a little child asking if she could come with.

Dark Matter just shook his head at Jason’s response. Typical. He’s willing to brawl with me at any moment, but the second I use words as my weapon he backs down. The dark figure turned his attention back to Elizabeth, grinning at her expression.”Rude awakening? I suppose. But my afflictions do not matter.” Dark said with a wave of his hand. Dark knew that apathy was the best way to get on Elizabeth’s good side. Even with the only person he actual seemed to have a positive relationship with, he was manipulative. It was just part of his nature. The nature that those people had forced upon hi-

The dark creature’s thoughts that were about to take a turn for the worst were interrupted by the sound of the doorway to the outside world opening. He heard three sets of feet approaching, and he knew who they were already. Dark Matter glared menacingly at the armored scientist and his two brutes. He found some twisted humor in the fact that they always came so heavily armored, even though everyone in the room was completely at his mercy with those collars around their necks. Dark Matter sat back in the chair, propping both his feet up on the foot stool in front of him. He looked over at the two new girls as they were called out by the man with a mouth. One of these days, Dark would have to pull that man’s spine out of his throat. With a glance at Jason, Dark Matter could read on the boy’s face that he planned to do something stupid. More of the same. Although, in truth, Dark Matter wanted to kill them as well.

A grin played on the edge of Dark Matter’s face. He felt like toying with them today. The creature stood from his chair, pulling his hood down. Two large, bat-like wings sprouted from the holes in the back of his jacket, as he casually took a few steps closer to the guards.”We all know you can’t use those on us.” He said, baring his teeth.”Your bosses would have your hide for even trying to kill any of us.” In truth, Dark had no idea if that were true. But his guess might have some merit to it.”The only reason you three are still alive is these things on our necks. I’d dare you to fight me without this thing on me, but the guy holding your leash wouldn’t let you.” Dark Matter addressed the overly cocky guard. He glanced over at Sam as she hugged the scientist, but didn’t say anything to her.

If Jason could have shot fire from his eyes, the two scientist would have been gone by now. The fires of pure hatred burned behind the electric blue eyes. "Do NOT threaten my sister. Human. I gaurentee you that there are multiple supernaturals in here who would love a chance to kill you. Besides, I'm not who you have to be afraid of" Jason says with a voice dripping with posion. His power, what of it he could actually use with the stupid collar, was unleashed in an invisble force, as he summoned an undead minion towards the ground the behind the man. Jason could see it's soul crawlining up from the pits of hell as he summoned it. Only a half a minute until it arrived

Trying to keep track of everything all at once made Aries feel more than a little overwhelmed. It made a pit inside of her stomach as she watched everyone. Why is everyone...this...what...huh? The words echoed in her own head. As if on cue, the situation clicked in her mind but the solution to defusing the ticking time bomb of a brother she had didn't quite click into place. "Nightmares?" Jason had asked about them. It made her face grow a bit red, as if anyone else had noticed those words.

Swallowing back enough fear to squeak out a couple words, she managed to squeeze in, "Jason, stop. You're gonna make it worse." The threat from the guard made her shake and tremble even more than usual. The thought of it...She held back from squealing. It was terrifying. But she stared planted on the ground, her nails now stractching into the fabric of her pants.

Alix's smirk turned into a full on devious grin. The quarrels between everyone made another giggle bubble up past her lips. "Lovely dovely. This is better than TV." She sneered, looking to the guards. Unlike most, she didn't hate them, but held a certain dislike to them for manhandling her the way they had in the past. Alix had seen worse in her 'life' before so it didn't matter much to her anyways.

Konrad patted the little girl's head. He didn't know what exactly snapped in the girls mind- In all honesty, he would have expected her to go stark raving mad some time ago, but it seemed she was still a little girl at heart.... Or she was just insane. Either way, it was nice having a supernatural who didn't regard him in such hostility, even if Sam was mentally ill. "We'll see Sam. We'll see."

Too bad he had to deal with to other supernaturals who decided they were the shit...... And his guards were getting restless.
"Ah, Dark Matter. Don't think we can't use lethal force if necessary. In all honesty, I'm the only man keeping you alive. One word from me and the guards would mow you down like the animals you are. Of course, that would be a waste of resources, but we can do as we wish. It's why the government gives us the big bucks... And we're not stupid. Don't forget we used tranq rounds to capture you. If you try anything stupid, we'll use 50. cal rounds. Ever see a man split in half because one single bullet made a cavity bigger than his actual body?"

Konrad then turned to Jason. 'Boy, if I see you do anything out of line, there's a reason why there's c4 placed in your collars. You wouldn't last."

"Now, can we please calm the fuck down? I'd hate to see punishment be carried out. You wanna see the ashes of the last subject who tried to start a fight?"

Shrugging it off as if it was a minor inconvience, Konrad started to service his tools again, waiting for Imma to come up so he could proceed with the tests.

Adrian got an uneasy feeling coming from behind him, he turned his attention towards the suited man, slowly of course, he never gave off a threatening vibe, especially to the guards. he raised his hand just as slowly and used it look around more accurately.

He didn't see anything...but the pressure was still there...it didn't seem to come directly from Konrad, or either of his goons, but perhaps from behind them...Adrian pointed his hand towards Jason and his sister, Aries? Adrian believed that was her name. He seemed to be giving off a vibe as well, Adrian didn't know who any of these people were, or what they were in fact...but he felt something specifically from that boy.

Adrian didn't seem to notice but his hand was shaking, the situation was plaguing his mind more then he wanted it too, he was nearly smack dab in the middle of everyone and he did not feel comfortable with it in the least

Adrian changed his sight to focus on Dark matter, another instigator...he wondered why they made so much trouble for themselves...Adrian went back to seeing through his palm, he used it to see Sam, she was hugging onto Konrad like he was her father...he never understood her, but he felt something was off...maybe she needed help. Adrian sighed as quietly as he could. He was glad most people looked through him, the lack of attention made things a bit easier for him...he wanted to walk out of the room, but that could end badly, not moving at all seemed to be a good option. but he wanted to show his dislike for the situation, he backed off a bit and nearly bumped into one of the chairs, he didn't know was sitting in it, he just hoped it wasn't one of the violent ones...no, it seemed to be the quiet girls seat, the one with the doll, Adrian stumbled and fell flat on the ground, "s-sorry" he said not looking to the person he had nearly fallen upon. That was enough moving for a good while he thought...

Sam smiled and twirled around. Then she sat on the ground between Konrad and Jason. Crossing her legs and rocking back and forth. Obviously not phased by what was going on. And when she heard Konrad say C4. A mad smile crept onto her face, as well as a equally mad thought. Only a matter of time before she burst out again, but it seemed like it would be a few minutes before this burst happened.

---

Elizabeth just watched things play out, and merely sighed. Probably a little too loud, but maybe it would throw royal boy over the edge and get his head blown off.

She decided to manifest her arms. The soft sound of shifting sand emitted from her as her arms and hands formed. She looked at Konrad. "Just forming my arms, don't lose your tits." She basically had to say that with the current situation, else both Konrad and his two beef sticks would think she was attacking. And one thing she didn't want happening was her head getting blown off by the stupid little collar around her neck.

Idera walked over to the man named Konrad and said softly "I'm okay going alone." Imma's jaw dropped and her fists clenched. "What the hell, Idera? I thought you and I were goin' to stay together!" Imma said, the betray dripping in the telepathic sentence. Idera looked at her and replied with 'I will be back. I just want you to meet these people so you can make friends without me latched onto you." Imma felt tears sting her eyes as she felt betrayal sink in, even though it was just for a few minutes. Idera sighed and looked back at Konrad, saying "w-where too?"

"Ah, let me just take a blood sample first, it'll analyze while we conduct preliminary testing..." Konrad grabbed her arm and wrapped an elastic band just below the shoulder. After fumbling around for a few seconds, he found a vein that seemed big enough to conduct the blood drawing. "As usual, this will sting." Slowly inserting the needle, he slowly drew blood until the vital was filled with Idera's blood. Promptly removing the needle and throwing it into a nearby trash can. Konrad placed the vial in a container marked bio-hazard and started to walk out of the room. "Follow me, I'll show you where we'll conduct trials. As for the rest of you, please don't do anything stupid. The guards will still be here, and I'm not held liable for any fatalities. Coming into a room full of dead bodies and empty rounds is a great way to ruin the day..."

Karou let out a small squeak when the white-haired boy tripped and landed where she was sitting. She blinked down at him. "M-Mary says its ok." She said in a voice so quiet it was almost inaudible. She continued to look down at him, bangs slightly hiding her crimson eyes. "A-Are you ok?" She asked before she cringed backwards, holding her doll slightly away from her as she squeezed her eyes shut. "I-I'm sorry M-Mary i'm s-sorry, I w-won't talk to anyone on my own a-anymore." She whimpered, curling into an even tighter ball.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Layla flinched when she heard the door open and guards walk in. She scooted away from them, wings rustling in agitation. She watched the confrontations with wide eyes, knowing that probably soon it would be her turn for the tests. She couldn't help but shiver in dread at the thought.

Adrian looked back to the tiny voice, or, where he though she was, he wouldn't find a god angle to see through so he went by ear, literally, "i-i'm fine...th-thank you..." Adrian's voice wasn't much louder, he didn't ask why she seemed to be talking to herself, he thought that may end badly..."s-sorry M-mary" he added in, hopefully not causing more trouble for the girl, she seemed like she was just scolded...

Adrian set his hand to look at Konrad again, he was glad to see him leave, he never caused trouble for Konrad, but that still didn't mean he enjoyed his presence, he made Adrian feel sick just by being nearby, Adrian moved his hand again to get a look at Jason, he hoped that whatever he was doing wouldn't end badly, it still felt like a bad situation

Jason smiled at the mention of C4. It was perfect. He looked over at dark matter. "Dark, we have to discuss that issue we had, I'll be waiting" The boy says and walks past Dark Matter into the nearest room. As he walks by dark he whispers. "Think I got a plan to get out" His voice being so hushed that it would be hard for'anybody other than dark to notice he said anything in the first place

Idera sighed as she felt her body relax slightly. She closed her eyes and said "whatever you need. As long as my sister and I can stay here, safe." She followed after Konrad with a slight stumble in the quick motions.

Imma stood there angrily, her eyes shown of a firey anger toward her sister. She looked at the little girl holding the doll, thinking that she was a bit strange. Imma looked over at the white haired boy and tilted her head slightly. He seemed too innocent for this place. She looked over at Dark Matter and Jason. They seemed sketchy. She most probably will try to stay away from them. She sighed again and looked down at herself. She needed a shower. She wanted a good shower. She looked back at the group in front of her silently.

The hollow echo of footsteps slowly clinking down the metal hallway drifted through the air, accompanied by the sound of soft humming. A man flanked by two guards calmly walked down the hallway, slightly swing his arms as if out for a stroll. The short brown hair was in a disarray and spectacles sat perched on his nose, the light glancing off the lenses and leaving others unable to see the eyes hidden behind the frames. Arthur Davis or Father as he insists on being called made his way down the hallway, a small smile on his face.

He stopped by two guards on duty and they snapped to attention, fear quickly filling their eyes as the man's grinned widened and he gestured with his hand. One of the guards hastily opened the door, admitting the doctor, his entourage following him inside. He stepped down the short hallway and stopped just inside the living room, eyes quickly scanning the room.

"Hello my lovely, lovely pets. How are you this evening?" He said, tilting his head slightly to the side as the grin stretched until it didn't look so pleasant anymore. No waiting for anyone to answer, which he knew wouldn't be very nice answers, he quickly pointed in front of him.

"Would all the new subjects please step in front of me, you need to be recorded in the databases." Here he gave a dramatic sigh. "Very boring work but it has to be done." When no one moved he snapped his fingers.

"Come, come, I do not have all night here."
