Kat chuckled at the question. "They're using him and his if anything. Because unless Ripred and his minions want to bring about the end of the world, they don't have the same goals as my siblings. And it's really the same with Kane and his gang... I do have to wonder what Cezalle and my father promised them... I'm almost impressed with his creativity because that sort of deal making was always my job..." Kat trailed off, not wanting to get into anymore. "Back to the problem at hand. Along with Cezalle is my oldest brother Michael. Like the old man, he is formidable in combat. Matter manipulation and his destructive abilities are second to none." She sighed. "It won't be easy to deal with my family, but considering they want to end everything... we don't have a choice."

Adam listened to Kat for a moment as she spoke of the different threats that they would have to deal with, hearing that made him recall something though. 'Wait now that I remember," he raised his hand. "That girl Pandora, when I fought her, to a standstill I might add, she left some kind of energy or something."

Robin grimaced as she saw the images. Although she couldn't really make out what was happening, she had a feeling it was bad.

...I'm sorry...I can't really make out what's happening - the slideshow is a little, uh blurry. What happened? The sky, the buildings...I think...who are those giant guys?! And what's that small lone figure doing where that mountain is? ...I want to help you, Raphael.

"My dear kid sister." Kat said fondly. "She's quite the little trickster." She mused with a smile. "Can you tell me more about this? I'm curious as to just what she showed you."

"Pretty much exactly what I said," Adam pointed out, scratching his chin in thought. "It was just like a bunch of raw energy."

Rose looked at Kat. "The energy is currently under wraps inside of a lab. We're not letting it out of our sight."

--

Nero and Nicol's patrol had them stationed on one of the busier streets. At Lt. Rose's orders, they were to remain inconspicuous but vigilant. Thus, Nero's idea was to take Nicol to an outdoor cafe. Nero was dressed in black jeans and a black long-sleeve shirt; both seemed to be designer clothing, which would be a bit strange for those who didn't know him well enough. Sitting back in his chair, he took a sip of his coffee.

--

The next 'day' in the Orion building had started more smoothly. With five days passed, Aya was much closer to cracking the code for them utilizing Elysian. Although it would be impossible to learn, she was able to find something to help them in their venture. "Guys, you wanna hear my plan? I just thought of it," Aya said, still staring at the books in front of her.

--

Sayloren looked around again, before speaking. "I'm looking for you, Sky! I was trying to find you and Drew. After that... thing iced me, I wanted to find you guys."

Colt nodded. "Let's hear it." He said with a smile. Due to their long term study, he was currently sporting a full beard. He hadn't brought a razor along.

"Could I take a look?" Kat asked. "I'd like to see if I can determine what she's up to."

"So, these runes are what's helping us learn at this accelerated rate... so, I think we should work with it. Re-purpose it," she looked at the text. "I know for a fact that you have way more intelligence than me, Colt; and it's all locked away in that mind of yours. So, what if we can get a sigil that unlocks the mind and connect it to this one?"

She held up a sheet of paper, showing a crudely drawn series of runes. They were anatomically correct, but weren't the prettiest to look at. "I found out that these runes could make it happen. We'll need to check with Eileen, though. If this is the one, we can leave today."

--

Lt. Rose chimed in before Rose could answer Kat. "You will not be seeing it, Harbinger. Just trust that we have it under our care," he said.

"It's not that I have more intelligence." Colt said softly. "It's that I have a few years on you." An understatement. "That's all... but I like your plan. I'm in."

Kat pouted. "Now that's not very nice. I offer to help and that's the thanks I get."

"..Well, I don't know where Drew is. But, we're in my sister's house, so.." She trailed off, before reluctantly letting go of Birdie's embrace.

"Do you, um, wanna walk outside for a bit?"

Adam thought back to his fight against Pandora and the essence she had left behind. Thinking back to it made him feel strange, as if something was calling out to him. He stretched his hand out on incstinct for a moment, simply staring at his palm, his mind practically shutting down. "Come forth," he muttered silently.

Nicol looked to the other side of the table where Nero was, drinking a mocachino. "This feels like a nice change of pace," he pointed out nervously.

Sayloren opened her mouth before closing it. "I, uh... I can't. I'm not exactly in the room with you."

--

Lt. Rose only scoffed. "You and your kin are the cause of a notable many amount of issues in the past. As if I would allow you to do anything within the headquarters of Null."

"I could watch her," Rose responded.

"You've done enough, Agent Rose. Quite enough," Lt. Rose's tone was calm but very obviously admonishing. "In this mission, I will be assuming command of the Null forces in this city."

Rose furrowed her eyebrows a bit. "Where do you get the jurisdiction for that?"

"From General Locke," he stated. "She has declared a State of Emergency, and thus has given me the power to take on Null's forces myself. I'm sure you understand."

"But why?!" Rose stepped forward. "We've done enough to-"

"You've done achieved nothing but notable failure, Agent Rose. You and your flock have had repeated defeats that threaten the infrastructure of our organization," Lt. Rose gave her a hard look. "You and Agent Nascire have led enough. We will not strip your power, but you will take orders from me directly. Are we clear?"

Rose clenched her fist, lowering her head. "Yes."

"Yes?" he asked.

Rose's voice was exasperated, the words straining from her mouth. "Yes. Sir."

"..O-oh. Um, what should we do, then?" Sky asked sheepishly, glancing around the room.

Metzli continued to sift through the piles of books, trying to learn at least some of the strange language as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, learning a language didn't really work that way. Sighing, she kept looking back to the paper that had the cryptic prophecy written on it.

"What will it take to decipher you..?" She muttered in a quiet, though angry tone.

"Patience kiddo, patience." Colt said reassuringly. "We'll get it."

Kat frowned at Lt. Rose for a long moment. It would feel good to drive one of her blades through the man's heart and watch his life slide away in his final moments. She turned to Adam and smiled. "Good. Tell me more." She said quietly.

"Lt. Rose sir, what our current orders?" Marissa asked respectively, while simultaneously stepping between Kat and Adam. "I'm sure anything you have to say can be said out loud," she commented to Kat, distrust all over her face.

Around Adam's body, a glow would appear. Markings etched themselves onto him, delivering a blinding light in the room. The energy made to begin settling itself into him, thus the markings disappeared from view as quickly as they appeared.

But, it was there. Both any Harbinger and Adam, himself, could feel it.


Lt. Rose looked to Marissa. "The patrol paths have been set for all soldiers. In two days, Sector IV's job will be the direct fighting force. Upon the return of Agents Nascire, Colt, and Helios, you will group yourselves at the rendezvous point."

--

"Fuuuuck, I'm so boooored..." Pandora griped, turning on the couch she was lying on. "Mikey, I wanna play! Play with me!"

"No. Give it time," Michael stated, leaning back in his chair. "We'll be taking this city soon."

The younger Harbinger put her legs above the couch, lying upside down on it. "You're no fun at all, big brother. I liked that one human better."

"Adam Noir?" Michael's voice didn't seem to hold any interest.

"Yeah, I really liked him. He was funny. Watching him get all flustered and pissed off when I jumped into his head," she seemed to be on the verge of laughing. Of course, considering that she enjoyed causing disarray at any point.

"Yes, well, you'll be seeing him soon I believe. As well as our missing brother," Michael stated.

"Colty?" She asked.

"Yes. And I wish you wouldn't use that name; it's unbecoming for a beautiful creature like him," Michael stated.

Pandora kicked her legs. "Aw man, all the cool stuff is happening later," she puffed out her cheek. "I should go slaughter a third-world country or so-" Pandora stopped, blinking a bit. Then, she grinned. "Actually... I think I just found something really, really fun!"

Michael raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

Pandora nodded. "Mhm. It's gonna happen soon!" The girl had felt Adam absorb her essence into himself. That was good - now, she had something to occupy her time.

--

Sayloren gave her a serious look. "You need to stop them. Help your friends and your sister stop these... things."

"Let's see. Dad is still on my hated list. Aya is on a mission, and there is a low chance Null will just let me walk in." She muttered, glancing out the window. Sky wanted to let loose and fly into the vast skies, though she didn't want to leave Sayloren alone, either.

"Patience isn't something we can afford right now," she grumbled, staring down at the mixed symbols with a hateful glare.

Colt felt it. "Uh oh." He gasped, realizing what Adam had done, even though he didn't recall the full details of such a behavior. "What did he..." Colt stood up. "We need to get back to base."

Kat was grinning brightly now. She looked at Adam, even if it seemed as if her eyes were gazing through the Null agent. "Hello sister, why don't you come out and play. Brother Alistair is here too somewhere."

Adam felt strange as the energy suddenly began to surround him, feeling as if suddenly he was receiving an increase of power, one that for a moment threatened to take over him. He clenched both of his fists, pushing himself back before beginning to feel the light settle down as it vanished. He panted loudly, raising his head when he heard Kat's voice and smirking. "It's only me here you know."

"Oh really?" Pandora's voice reverberated to Adam inside of his mind.
