James walked over to Ty and pulled Ty's right arm over his shoulder, getting all the weight off his injured ankle. "Ty, what the hell were you thinking?" James asked him.

"I'm sick and tired of dealing with her shit." Ty responded, his tone making it clear that he was still angry.

"I know you are. And I've realized that I've let it get out of hand. Ty... I'm sorry. I really am." James admitted that he had let Ty down.

"It's alright." Ty said gently. "You were focused on Nuata, and I get that."

"That still doesn't make it right." James insisted.

"So, the major sin he's making?" Nuata asked her. The reason why Lucia hates perverted blood is that for vampires, the sins that person is committing is inside the blood, and what sins they have committed is a trait that has appeared in only King Minos. And for some, innocent blood is the gift of the gods, while others think it's poison. Like any being, they have preferences. "Anger and inner violence, and a lot of it." Sophie said.

"It's only because you pick on me for no god damned reason!" Ty shouted at Sophie. "That would make any person angry. And you've been doing it for over a year, so I think I'm entitled to being a little bit angry and a little bit violent." Ty said to her.

"He's got a point you know." James said to the girls. "Look Sophie, Ty and I go way back. I know him pretty well. And I know for a fact that he's not an angry person most of the time. You're the reason for his pent up anger and inner violence." James frowned. "He could only take so much from you before he snapped."

"I know. It's because I wanted to see if you truly hate daemonkind. This is why I was hesitant that night." Sophie said, not being her usual pranker self. "For too long, I've hid myself under a childish guise." She said, her face becoming something you'd see on Soifon on Bleach - serious and hard.

Ty looked down at the ground. "I'll admit it. I did at first." James knew this, so he wasn't surprised. "I mean take it from my point of view: All I've ever heard about succubi and vampires is that succubi seduce men and suck out their soul and vampires kill you by eating your blood. There was no way for me to know any better." He explained his point of view. "And then I see James, the guy who didn't fall in love at all, starting to fall in love with a succubus. So I thought she was planning on taking his soul." Ty admitted. "I was scared for my best friend, a guy I consider my brother." James smiled. "But I will tell you that over the past year, I've learned that my perceptions on you all were wrong. I realized that Nuata is one of the sweetest women I have ever met and that my perceptions on demonkind were wrong. So... yes, when I first met you all, I did hate your kind... but not anymore." Ty smiled. "Even though you piss me off Sophie... that has nothing to do with you being a vampire. That's only because you pick on me. When you're not picking on me, you're a pretty nice girl."

Sophie's eyes soften a bit. "That's good. I just want to apologize for my actions while I was Sophie. My true name is Alexandria Vladimire, not Sophie von Chamberlian." She said, her eyes back to hard while bowing.

"Huh? What?" Ty asked James, who was clearly confused as much as Ty himself was.

"Er... I have no idea either. I'm just as lost as you are on this one." James admitted.

"Simple - I lied about my name. An assassin is supposed to have various aliases to slip through international ports, but after my vampiric gift awaken, it grew out of use. But I kept one I'll admit a little too close to heart - Sophie von Chamberlian, a notorious prankster of Romanian descent." Sophie, now Alexandria, explained.

"Oh." James and Ty looked at each other.

"Love, were you aware of this?" James asked Nuata softly.

Nuata shrugged. "They said that Alexandria Vladimire disappeared during a mission, and Sophie von Chambelin had to replace her as Captain of the Assassination Corp. I never go that far into personel records." Nuata said, admitting her one flaw in her info gathering - not looking her own fellow commander's info and history.

"I was in an entirely different department inside the Guild. I was never under Nuata to begin with." Lexie explained.

"Ah." James and Ty looked at each other. They both seemed to understand. "We get it." They said in unison.

"Er... do you mind if I still call you Sophie?" James asked. "I know it's just an alias, but it's the woman I got to know and like." He explained.

Lexie then smiled, an act she didn't do prior from transforming from Sophie to Alexandria. "Of course, James." She said, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks." James smiled.

Ty then spoke up. "Hey Alexandria... I'd like it if you and I could start over." He said with a nervous smile on his face. "If that's okay with you."

"Yes, we can, but try that again and blame it on past aggressions, and I'll make sure you'll have a good time in the hospital." She said, her eyes steel hard. She wasn't a Captain for no reason. She's actually the second-youngest Captain in the history of the Guild, with the youngest Nuata, Captain of the Spy Network.

Ty smiled and nodded. "I'm willing to put the past behind me if you are." He held out his hand. "And for the good of these two." He nodded towards James and Nuata. "We really should."

Lexie held out her hand, which was shacking a bit. Really, the men she has touch outside of killing them was Dante and James. Only two men.

Ty shook her hand for a brief moment. "There." He smiled. "I'm really glad we can start fresh and hopefully get along. I know you have trust issues and I can understand that, but I promise that I'll do my best to ensure that your trust will be well placed in me."

James smiled. He knew that Ty was biting back his pride and making this effort solely for himself and Nuata.

Lexie had a look like Ty was hiding something, but didn't press on it. "Trisha, I think we'll take our leave." Lexie said. Trisha walked over to her. Lexie walked into a shadow and faded into it, disappearing into it.

"Ty. Thanks." James said sincerely.

"What are you talking about?" Ty asked a bit too sweetly.

"Dude. I know you. You never make a peace offering like that to anyone." James stated. "I know you only did it for me and Nuata. So thanks. It means a lot."

"You're welcome. Now can you get me to a doctor?" Ty asked.

"Dude. You're standing to the best medic I've ever seen." James laughed. "Nuata, can you please take a look at his leg?" James asked. "I mean he's pretty beat up."

"And everything else, you really overdid it this time Soph." Valerie said. "I'm still calling you Sophie if I didn't I'll have a hard time deciding how to differ you and Alexa's nicknames."
