The Fourth Realm

Sonya - Agent and Blake - half demon Helsing

Sonya had taken to looking through the files before her instead of watching the hologram, when she suddenly remembered something about one of the agents. KB's father had died in London, was there connection? Probably not, but she wondered if it would be hard for KB to go there. She wasn't sure by the way he spoke in a fake British accent. He could of been brushing it off but she was unsure.

The tension in the room was slowly rising that much she did know, though she was unsure if it was her brothers doing. She glanced over at him and saw that he was leaning back in his chair with his eyes close. He looked almost relaxed, but the way he gripped the arms of the chair said otherwise. He had a near death grip on the arms of his chair and she swore she could hear them slowly cracking.

Her attention was drawn away when Vincent spoke up, asking if they should capture or kill anyone or thing who might be involved with the attack. It was a good question and seemed only logical, given that they were dealing with an unknown and any protocol that they would of followed was thrown out the window.

The General looked at Vincent and was about to answer when one of the half-breed angels suddenly spoke out with anger.

Blake sat up fast when he felt rage spring forth. His eyes went black and he stared at the angel half-breed, he could feel her anger and his need to feed off of her sent pain down his spine, he had never fed off of an angel before nor their half-breed offspring. It was something he suddenly wanted to try.

The whole room was a bomb set to explode, all it needed was the right spark and he could provide it. He had already been fighting his demon side when he felt a male agents anger and sadness, but it was dull. Maybe if he was full demon it would of been different, but that wasn't the case.

But when the half-breed angels anger sprung up, it was like a white hot iron against his skin. It could not be ignored and and he was losing his battle with his demon half. He could already feel the tension, the way he could easily sway their emotions. He was already plucking the strings, setting them all up to go at each others throats.

"Blake..... Calm yourself."

He snapped his head to look at the person who spoke, only to see his sister. She looked worried, agitated, scared and stern. She almost looked like their mother, but he could see that she was trying to fight of his power.

"Calm yourself." She said again but through slightly gritted teeth.

Sonya stared at Blake and into his black eyes for what seemed like ages. She had looked into the black eyes of demons before, but never her brothers and for the first time she was a little scared. Though she didn't show it.

Blake slowly sat back in his chair and as he did so the tension in the room began to lessen. Which Sonya was thankful for as it meant that he was gaining some control of himself. Though his eyes remained black, which meant that he was still fighting his other half.

"Are we okay to continue?" Asked the General gruffly, though there was some concern in his tone.

"Yes sir, please continue." Sonya said softly as she looked away from Blake and back to the hologram.

"To answer Mr. Vincent's question, you are to kill only if necessary. We would prefer to have any suspect alive if you can. We can't get answers if they are dead, or at least not all answers......" The General looked off to the left and proceeded to announce a new team member. Though he didn't seem too happy about it.

Sonya raised an eyebrow when one of the agents handed her a dossier on her new charge. Were they for real? This was subject 1041, which she had heard whispers about. Only top agents got clearance to such subjects, was the line of succession really that short now?

She looked up from the dossier to look at the female, her eyes were stern as she looked her over. She suddenly wondered if this was going to be okay as she had to watch out for her brother, as he already almost lost control, now she had to be handler for another dangerous half-breed demon. But brass had already made up their minds.

She quickly glanced at Blake before looking at the hologram. "Understood sir."

"Good, now there is a private plane ready to take you all to London. All half-breeds, except miss Layla, must submit to mild sedation. This will not knock you out but it will make it safer for everyone on the plane..... Safe travels and contact us if you find anything."

With that the hologram faded and the room was silent for a short time. One could only hear others breathing and heart beats. Well Blake could anyway.

He looked slowly around the room and took note that not only did half-breeds out numbered the Agents but that there was more demon half-breeds. Were angel half-breed's hard to find or did the Axis just really hate demons?

He looked over his sisters new "pet", he could sense that she was powerful and could easily go off. Great, now I'm really going to have to watch myself. Why the hell did I agree to this? He wondered as he knew that this would take some toll on his sister.

The Fourth Realm

I should have a post up some time tonight.

@Thundercrash when ever you want to post go right ahead :)

<Snipped quote by my Lalia>

Ah, also, cant find what year this roleplay is supposed to take place? I might just have it be an Axis experiment.

@Lucidnonsense

It takes place in modern times (so roughly around now), though the Axis has technology that is ahead of what we currently have.

The Fourth Realm

@Lucidnonsense
The Axis is very old, bordering on ancient. the experiment could take place near the early days of the Axis.

Though mind you, half-breeds can die of old age but the exact age varies.

The Fourth Realm

Notice that We have more half-Demons than half-angels, I think I might consider playing a half angel, Is biological "mating" the only way a half angel can be created? I was thinking of being born in a lab full of occultists and scientists who altered a human embryo with angelic song or something like that.

@Lucidnonsense

That seems interesting, though it would have to be the Axis that did the experiment..... they try to keep a hold on anything that deals with that kind of science.
I do like the concept of it though. It would mean that both angel half-breed's have been raised by the Axis.

The Fourth Realm

@Thundercrash
Oh she seems interesting, she is accepted. You can move her over :)

The Fourth Realm

Sonya Helsing - Agent

The steady flow of people that entered the room had Sonya's mind racing as the facts from the files played through her head. She noted that there was three agents total and five half-breeds. She had noticed that the dossiers on the half-breeds noted some of their powers and ways to combat these powers, while the agents dossiers only listed some of their strengths and none of their weaknesses. It was evident that the Axis didn't trust their new "friends".

Sonya knew that if any of the half breeds read the files that they would be cross. It not a good way to start the team. But it was too late now, all she could do was smile and great them warmly.
"Pleasure to meet you Flynn, I'm Sonya." She said with a soft warm smile that reached her eyes. She could see that the girl demon half-breed relaxed slightly upon seeing Blake. No doubt she could sense that he was half demon. Which was probably a good thing as from the file the girl was prone to being aggressive, though Blake was no better. If anything his file warned of extreme aggression.

Once the other agents arrived she felt a little bit more at ease, plus it was nice to see people actually reading the dossiers given to them. But she knew Blake wouldn't bother reading them, he preferred to be "surprised".

Once the other two half-breeds showed up (some clearly upset), she turned to the angel half-breed. "My name is Sonya Helsing, it's good to have you on the team miss Layla." She said in a friendly tone before smiling and nodding at Vincent, who she had heard about but never actually met. She was rather pleased to have not one but two skilled assassin's, though she knew that they were long distance assassin's not close range.

She was about to say something to some of the half-breeds, but a hologram suddenly appeared in the middle of the table. It had surprised her slightly but she didn't show it. The hologram showed an older man in full military uniform, his face was fierce And he didn't look like a man that would back down from a fight.

"Hello Agents and team members." Said the man gruffly. "I trust you have all read the files supplied, by now you have questions about the mission. I'm here to give you a run down, any questions will be answered later." The man said in stern tone. Sonya got the impression that he wasn't one to be interrupted.

"You have been gather because for the first time in human history, we are facing a foe that we know little to nothing about. But what we do know is that they are powerful and are a threat to the human race." He paused for a moment as if daring the half-breeds to protest before continuing. "We are sending you to London, to a place we had thought we cornered this new threat.... it ended badly for our people and a few civilians. We are hoping you will find clues that we have missed. Questions?"

Sonya had listened to the man and suddenly wondered how the Axis had missed anything in London. They weren't sloppy in their work when it came to finding clues about demons, angels and half-breeds. So sending them to an already searched area seemed pointless. She was sure the other agents felt the same way.

Blake Helsing - Demon

Blake had closed his eyes which made it look like he was sleeping, but he was fully aware of Sonya and some of the people passing the room. He had only opened his eyes when a demon half-breed walked into the room, the female eyed Sonya before looking at him and waving. He simply nodded, his expression non changing, others filed in and he gave them the same cold dead expression. In truth this was the first time he had been in a room with this many people and it had him on edge. For one he recognized the male agent with the female angel half-breed, as he was sure the guy had hunted him. But thanks to his sister, who had pulled strings to get the agent off his case, he didn't have to worry about him. Though he was sure he would've been back on his case, as gods know he was a monster. The Axis wouldn't forget about him. Two, he could sense everyone's emotions and if he wished he could amplify their feelings of fear, hate and resentment, but that would put his sister in harms way. But his demon side was demanding it of him and it took all his strength not to give in.

When Layla asked for the others to give their names, her voice almost seared him. They were opposites, though he doubted the other half-breed demons felt it like he did. He didn't say anything while his sister and a few others gave their names to the girl.

Thankfully a hologram appeared in the middle of the table. It was of some old guy, most likely a higher up. Blake already disliked the dude, he wasn't sure why other than he was part of the Axis. But that seemed like reason enough for him.

After the old man stopped talking and asked if anyone had questions, the room fell silent. Blake had heard about London and was glad that some of the Axis was no more, but he had wondered who had planned such a trap. As the Axis took every precaution under the sun and moon when dealing with an unknown. He only knew that much because of his sister and mother.

Who ever planned the trap wasn't demon or angel, or at least they hadn't admitted it yet. He mulled the thoughts over in his head before sitting forward and looking up blankly at the hologram.

"What if we find nothing?" He asked in a cold tone, it was evident that he was agitated but from what it was unclear.

"You come back here and will be given further instructions." The hologram man said.

Blake didn't blink as he continued to look coldly at the hologram. Anything found, will hurt my people.... we will not be helping them He thought before slowly nodding and leaning back in his chair. He could see Sonya looking at him with what looked like concern. This was going to be a hard mission as one he would be around others and two his sister would see a part of him that he hated most.

He looked at some of the others to see if they had any questions as he was done with his.

The Fourth Realm

@my Lalia Could you give me some examples of those would look like?

@Thundercrash

Well Sonya has a tazer that uses electricity and radio waves that disrupt a half-breeds powers, though if used on a human it would cause extreme pain or death.
Bullets dipped into holy water can weaken a half-breed demons powers if the shots where not meant to kill. Also bullets dipped in demon blood will do the same thing to angel half-breed's.

Basically I am giving you guys free rein to make stuff up. (World building) :)

The Fourth Realm

@my Lalia Question: does Axis have a means of suppressing a half-breed's power?

@Thundercrash

They have some technology that can suppress some of the half breeds powers, that is why they take half breeds and do tests on them. It's so they can develop new tech, as half-breeds powers vary widely.
