Megatron"I-I don't know," Dillon replied as she shrugged to Lydia's question
"The damn things tried to practically strangle me in my sleep," interjected Adrian before Lydia stormed off toward seemingly the originating place of the vines. "Willow did this? Was he trying to kill me?"
Adrian and Dillon trailed behind Lydia as she removed the door by the hinges, much to Dillon's surprise. "Holy shit," she said, stepping back. "That's some serious strength."
"Behold the power that is Steelia."
Lydia pounded on the vines protecting Willow, yet he seemed to be in a deep slumber. "He did this when he was asleep? I wonder what else he can do if he was awake..."
"Adrian, you have swords, cut these down," Lydia said to him.
Complying, Adrian said, "Arcesso duo digladio." Adrian tossed Lydia the sword in his hand so that she may also chop away at the vines in case anymore formed. He then began chopping away at the rest of the vines with the other two swords he summoned.

Adrian's eyes shot open as he felt something beginning to constrict his arms, legs, and chest. He looked down to see a series of vines wrapped around his body. Slowly one inched up the side of his neck and over it, "What in the hell?"
"Arcesso duo digladio!" he summoned, two broadswords appeared, and he telekinetically cut the vines in half as he ripped and pushed them off of him. He tossed the vines to the side as he gripped one of the swords, cut the vines that were attached to his door, and telekinetically cut away at a few that dared to approach him. He had to pry the door open and away from the vines that attached themselves to it from the outside. "Are we under attack?"
Adrian stepped into the hallway to see Lydia looking mighty fine. "I don't know if she looks better in swimwear or sleepwear. Either way, this is a nice wake up call. Well, aside from nearly getting strangled by some fuckin' vines, of course." Adrian shook his head, regaining control of his eyes and removing the thoughts from his head, approached her and asked, "What the hell is happening?"
"What the fuck is going on?" Dillon heard someone say and she steadily sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked about her room and noticed it was the same as she went to sleep. "What's goin' on?" she thought as she stretched and rose from her bed. She walked out the door and was immediately greeted by the sight of of vines curving and arcing across the hallway.
Whoa!" she exclaimed, flabbergasted. "What is that?!"
"Dillon!" she turned her head to see Adrian who happened to notice her come out of her room, and motioned his head for her to come to him.
She ran over to him, "What's going on?" she asked carefully, unsure if she even wanted an answer.

"I saw that very image a few times in my father's universe," he replied to the image Lydia painted for him. "Yet I never experienced it," he said, but left it at that as he suddenly felt both uncomfortable and bad. Here was Lydia, his very rival, opening up to him, but he couldn't find it within himself to really open up.
Adrian shifted in the jacuzzi, "Listen, the very reason no knows Barakiel is my sister is because our powers are drastically different. She is capable of manipulating lightning and summon lances without speaking a word. We'd both prefer to keep the entire school in the dark, otherwise others might use it against us, and who knows how that'll make her look as a hero. Don't make me regret telling you, Lydia. "
Adrian rose from the jacuzzi and stepped out, deciding that he was growing more uncomfortable the longer he sat there, but he stopped and looked at her, "By the way, about what I said about your eyes and getting in a jacuzzi more often...I meant it," Adrian then proceeded to grab a towel and walk away.

Adrian hesitated to tell her more, "We aren't exactly alike. Believe me, she dislikes and distrusts me. Guess it sort of runs in the family or something."
"Do I really distrust her to protect herself?" he inquired to himself, but shook the thought from his head, deciding the now was more important. Although he found himself impressed that Lydia could give him something to ponder on.
"Maybe I do distrust her, but it's also my job to protect her, I made a promise. Just standing there as Alexis was assaulted... it stirred something within me." Adrian's eyes scanned her again upon hearing her say 'to be wanted.'
[i ]"I want you,"[/i] he thought, yet he couldn't find the courage to actually speak the words. He didn't even know if she felt the same, which discouraged his possible advances. Not to mention he wasn't sure if the way he wanted her was the way she was speaking of. [i]"Christ. Come on, Adrian. Control yourself here."[/I ]
"It's not great having a sibling. Always worrying about their well-being gets tiresome, but worst of all she doesn't even worry about me."

"It's not great having a sibling. Always worrying about their well-being gets tiresome, but worst of all she doesn't even worry about me."
"I am proud of her," Adrian breathed easier now. It felt like a weight had been momentarily lifted off his shoulders. "I am proud of her, but I don't want her to be successful. I mean," he corrected upon realizing how that sounded. "I want her to do well, but if she reaches the number one ranked spot she'll be able to take the exit exam. Meaning that the person I'm suppose to protect and care for, instead is to be my enemy who I must destroy. It certainly doesn't help that she doesn't like or trust me."
Adrian hesitated to tell her what she wanted. The consequences of what could happen first came to mind and Alexis' anger if he told anyone, but he pressed on regardless. Feeling the problem growing ever larger within the confines of his own head, he had to get this out. "I suppose I can tell her... Maybe actually trust her." Despite this, Adrian shifted uncomfortably at the thought of telling her anything. He was warned about trusting and getting close to others, but there was a nagging thought in the back of his head. He almost found it silly to consider his own rival the very person deserving of his trust, but right now, it seemed like a good idea.
"...I went to see...my sister, Barakiel. You might've heard about her. I went to watch her fight and she took down Shifter, but Silvermist and Glorious teamed up to take her down. It was... difficult to watch."
Dillon nodded her head, "Nice to meet you, Josh. Yeah, I know. Adrian isn't much of a talker either." For a brief moment she watched him walk away before turning to continue her work on her armor.

"Charming? She actually found it... charming?" Suddenly Adrian wasn't feeling so apprehensive about what he said, although the lingering feeling of embarrassment was still there. The fact that he mentioned her eyes prompted him to take another good look in them. Then he remembered hearing her say how he mentioned she looked good in a swimsuit which caused his eyes to drift downward and he abruptly stopped, controlling himself. "Well, at least I know I wasn't lying."
He stopped the think for a moment before finally deciding, "Alright. We can talk. I'll be back," he said before hurrying off and finding his swim trunks. Upon entering his room he remembered that the pants he was wearing were not the same ones as yesterday. "Did... someone change me too? That's... even worse." However, Adrian had to wonder who would actively go out of their way to make sure he didn't go to bed with wet clothing on. "Dillon..." A grin spread across his face. "That girl..."
Adrian changed into his swim trunks but hesitated to take off his shirt, but realized he already did it last night. Meaning both Lydia and Dillon already saw his scar covered body. He suddenly grew self-conscious of this fact, and began to hate alcohol, but even more so he hated himself for allowing it to happen. Adrian sighed, taking off his shirt and tossing it aside. "Might as well rock it,"
Adrian returned to the jacuzzi and relaxed into it. "Note to self: meditate in jacuzzi next time."
Dillon stood up alongside him, "I think we're more important to them than they know right now. I know Adrian would do some... unfavorable things if I weren't there for him. Yeah, that's me, but you can call me Dillon Hunt, partner of Adrian," she said as she shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Willow. If you need help talking to them, you can come to me, okay?"

"Fuckin' shit," he mumbled, embarrassed as he face-palmed himself. He could feel his cheeks growing hot at the thought of saying such a thing. "'Don't worry about it,' she said," he mocked. "'You were just drunk,' she said."
An awkward moment passed as he mentally punched himself, but stopped to realize that he wasn't lying. Lydia did have the nicer breast while Dillon did have a nice ass. He mentally punched himself again, "No! Not now! Focus!"
Adrian stood up from his meditating spot and awkwardly walked over to the jacuzzi that Lydia sat in. "So... did I say anything else... like that?" Adrian wasn't sure how to broach the subject, it was already embarassing and uncomfortable enough.
"Really? You actually saw that?" Dillon's stomach dropped at the thought of such a thing, at the thought of being eviscerated. It made her quiver from anxiety and fear. "Oh damn... I-I... We should tell them. We need to tell Adrian and Steelia. Otherwise... that could be us. We need to figure something out."

Adrian opened both eyes at this and repeated what she said,"Inferior-to-Dillon's ass? What the hell does that even mean?" He inquired as he uncrossed his arms and legs, leaned back, and supported himself with one arm.
Dillon was taken aback by this, "Oh, uh, wow. Well, they can be pretty brutal. That sounds pretty bad though, even for the villain matches. Are you sure that's what you saw?" Dillon looked at Void's picture and seemed slightly unsettled by it and looked away. "Did you see anything else? Like a weapon maybe? Or maybe it's an illusion?"
