The sun peaks in through the shattered window of the hotel room, a soft warmth covering Kylars body as he suddenly awakens. Despite his unrest and inability to sleep the night before, he seems to have fallen asleep. There is no grogginess or anything else that lingers from his time asleep, he is suddenly alert as if he hadn't been out at all. The light from the sun barely reaches the ground where he had been laying, another oddity given he had been resting on the couch when he tried to sleep before.
Looking around the room, there is an open first aid kit on a counter top. Tied in the middle of the floor, rests Estrian, the angel who had helped him save Hexxis the day before. The angel didn't seem to be awake yet, perhaps for the best since he had attacked them during the night and had been restrained. A towel wrapped around his eyes to prevent him from lashing out with Telekenisis.
Kylar walked around the room, not making a sound. He cracked the door to the bedroom to check on the woman who now controlled him, but the inside of the room was empty. After a thorough check to make sure he wasn't simple being tested again, Kylar moved to Estrain attempting to wake the other man gently, the bindings and towel still in place just in case he remained in an aggressive or agitated state.
"Estrian, remain calm. We're alone and I plan to set you free, I just need to know you're still you." Those were the first words spoken as the angel stirred, a hand gently placed on the angels wing to prevent him from hurting himself if he tried to spread them while restrained.

Estrian was breathing shallowly as pain cross his face every now and then, making a soft pain sound in his sleep as he slept fitfully. A hand on his shoulder sent a wave of pain along the still injured wing as he snapped his eyes opened to darkness and tried to back up with a pained hiss. He didn't get far, feeling a hand on his wings pushing him down. A familiar voice voice calling at him to remain calm even as he was panicking again.
"M-me? y-yes " he said with a soft stutter as he tried to focus enough to send healing energy to the places he could feel where the most damaged. Slowly the voice and identity as well as everything that happened the day? before snapped together. "Kyler..." he said with a flicker of relief then tensing in fear as he remembered what he had seen before. A head on the ledge and the body walking on its own. Keys in his mouth... even if he couldn't remember the specific or even what people had said he sometimes remember flashes like that. "She's gone?" he whispered, unsure if she was gone or asleep, unable to see anything even if he was trying to keep calm. Shifting his wings and stopped from both the hand and the pain.

Kylar smiled as Estrian responded, he had returned to himself this would be much easier. Had he awoken in a panicked berserk state this could have gone horribly wrong. Kylar reached into his pants pocket, producing a key. Removing the hand from Estrians wing he spoke, "I am going to cut you free, make sure you don't move though. Yoko tied you fairly tight so I don't want to injure you further." Transforming the key, Kylar created a small blade and began slowly cutting away the binding to free the Angel from his predicament. Once he had freed Estrian he removed the towel from his head and moved to stand before him.
Now able to see eye to eye Kylar smiled once more and spoke up, "I'm glad to see you're alright. If you're able to move I suggest we get out of here. I don't know how long she's gone or even why she left, but if you want to get away now is our chance." He knelt down and offered a hand to the man so that he wouldn't have to strain himself in standing if his injuries were worse than he knew.

Estrian lifted his head and stared blindly in the direction of the voice nodding quietly as he held still, giving up healing at the moment to just not freak out.
Slowly he felt the binds loosen and held still until the last of them fell off his hands. He let out a soft sob of relief as he reached up to take the towel off but was to slow. "Thank you" he said looking up with a pained look as he focused on sending healing energy back to his wounds again.
Nodding quickly he reached up and took his hand, getting up as he clenched his teeth against the pain of the broken bone in his wing. Seem he had tried to heal it earlier but it was just rudimentary start at it.
Looking around he was glad to see no dead bodies, a common occurrence when he loses control. He hadn't lost control in .... years and he had lost it twice in one day...and felt like ...he was surprise he was even able to get up.
"Lead the way before eh comes back....but...you're head. It was on the counter.... " he said pulling his wing in close and staring at the point then back. "... and back...does she have something here you need?"

Kylar laughed at the mention of his head and then shook his head when asked if Yoko had something he needed. He spoke up before to many questions arose, best to explain on the way out. "One of the perks of being dead I suppose." He grinned, it was obvious Estrian wouldn't understand what he meant since he was still standing before him, so he explained. "I died in my house or got extremely close to, the woman brought me back however. She turned me into a puppet that she could control, but just my body. My mind is my own, but my body responds to her commands, which is why we need to get out of here before she comes back."
Kylar smashed in the rest of the window in the room, a large enough opening that they would be able to pass through easily. Turning back to Estrain he looked at his wings before asking, "Can you fly or do you need me to carry you?" He stood by the opening waiting for an answer.

Estrian followed, wondering if Kyler know how terrifying what he just said was. Except he was laughing and seemingly fine... so maybe he didn't or didn't care. He wasn't sure if that was better or not, still leaving the room right now seemed good.
As Kylar broke the window, he summoned his artifacts and healed the wing the rest of the way. "I'm good. Lets go" he said sounding anxious to leave as he leaped out the window, moving into a dive before snapping his wings out and diving toward the ground a block away.

Kylar followed Estrian out of the window dropping with no resistance to keep up with the Angel as he dove towards the ground. He may have said he was good, but twice he had been beaten within inches of his life in just as many days. Kylar kept close prepared to grab hold of the Angel until his wings opened and he controlled his descent. Following suit Kylar came to a halt in midair controlling his speed and direction to follow Estrian towards the ground a short ways away. Finally on solid ground and no longer worried Estrian may injure himself further he spoke to the man, "Estrian, I'm sorry I got you involved in any of this. It was my battle and yet you got injured fighting alongside me. Is there any way I can repay you, somewhere I can take you? I doubt Hinale is safe for you any longer."
Kylar remained silent a moment before determining that Estrian had a right to know. He spoke again elaborating on his warning against Hinale. "Before you woke with Yoko and myself you were held captive by SIU and Zaku Shiori. When I took you from them they became furious, even placed a hit on me. I'm not entirely sure you're the reason behind it, but they were adamant I couldn't take you before things blew out of control and I fled with you anyways."

Estrian landed and turned, staring at Kylar with a face full of worry. "No.. I ..I have a place I was going to. At least trying to go there" he said with careful look to the sides as if he expected Yoko to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
"What about Hexxis? What happened to her?" knowing they were attacked but past that he must have gone into beserk mode because he didn't remember anything else until he woke up in that room with Yoko and Kylar...then when he woke up again with Kylar untying him.
Estrian turned his attention sharply at Kylar, ignoring their surrounds for a moment as he mentioned SIU. "SIU? ..." he trailed off, trying to remember anything and could only remember some blurry faces. Was one of them Tri? No..he was wanted... meaning this was just SIU itself.. likely remembering him.
"So they took Hexxis..." he said dully, feeling guilt for the poor girl. He was not even sure how Kylar got them away and why he just didn't leave with Hexxis. As for Zaku Shiroi...the name sounded faintly familiar but that was all...likely one of SIU's new dogs.
More reason for him to leave, go back into hiding. It had been a long time since he went into berserk mode and now twice in a few days plus SIU? It was not safe here any longer.
"They put a hit on you? I have no idea why. It could be me.. but I thought they forgotten about me since ...I haven't gone into...what you saw.. the whole rawr thing. In a long time" he ran his hand through his hair distressed. "You were trying to keep her away from them..." he moved back to Hexxis, unsure.

Kylar smiled at Estrian and asked, "Would you like some company to help you get where you were going? The smile faded when Hexxis was mentioned, the weapon he had nearly died to protect. He took a moment before answering, "They have her. I was only able to get you out because of the aftermath of sending someone disguised as her handler to calm her down. It might have helped if it was actually her handler, but they restrained her leaving you alone in the other room. As I left they made threats against taking you, but I didn't listen."
Kylar looked around nervously before speaking again. "Regardless of your plans we should get away from here. I don't want to be nearby when Yoko returns, if I can help it."

"Thank you" he said gratefully even if it sounded pitiful to his ears. Rescued from SIU, from Yoko ..and it was only a quick check on Hexxis supposedly. Now they had her and were likely brain washing her again...they were both lucky...at the price of Hexxis personality.
"Yes, lets go..."he started walking quickly away from the hotel with furtive glances around. "I was heading to Sanctuary..a meta sanctuary near Belrad. A... I visited and was asked to join which is why I was in the middle of moving when you called" he said dully, almost mentioning Andy but remembering her panic at having to deal with Kylar. Kylar saved him but he wasn't going to be placing himself between them. Hope only hoped Mirabelle and Rhun were able to convince her to stay put.

Kylar nodded before speaking, "I am aware of it, but you should know SIU has spies there. It's where I first met them. SIU was recruiting Metas at Sanctuary." He thought for a moment before adding, "If you still want to go I'll help you get there safely, but be careful who you trust there."
Kylar began walking away from the hotel continuing to speak with Estrian as he moved. "Do you need anything before we leave or can we go there immediately?" He looked towards the Angel awaiting a response to plan their next action accordingly.

Estrian paled and glanced over to the Shadow with doubt in his eyes as he kept on walking. "Who?" he asked quietly, trying to guess at who it could be. It couldn't be Rhun or Mirabelle... at that point SIU basically owned Sanctuary.
"I ...uh. No..it should be fine. Most of my things is being sent by truck" he muttered, not that he had much but he knew someone heading that way and what he couldn't carry would be going there. He could go get his traveling pack but there was nothing in it that he would truly need to risk going back there...especially if SIU was looking for them. "We can head there now" he said quietly, sounding doubtful.

Kylar answered the question, ["At the time I only met Ree Liz, but since he's become a wanted man I assume they would have another in his place." There was a pause as he considered what else to say. There was no proof, but if SIU controlled the renegade leader it was possible they also controlled Sanctuarys leader. He had been a part of the meeting with the world leaders, it was possible. He decided to voice his concerns, "Since SIU controls the renegade leader there is also the possibility they have someone high up at Sanctuary. I can't be sure about that one yet though."
Kylar nodded as Estrian said he was ready to leave immediately and began walking. They could take flight now, but that would make them easier to spot if anyone happens to be looking for them.

Ree Luz...
There was a flicker of pain at the name but he didn't say anything else to it's mention other than to sigh heavily. Renegade leader? SIU had the renegade leader working with them... but how? they were supposed to be working against him and those like them. At least that is what Tri used to say... then again look where Tri was now.
Was Rhun also part of it? or Mirabelle? They didn't seem to be, they were more interested in Andy and barely paid any attention to him.
Estrian turned down a street heading toward the park and ride that held one of the buses that would head toward belrad. "Maybe...or maybe not. No one seem especially interested when I arrived. Even with the friend I went with to look, she was visiting friends and it seem pretty calm. No one approached me...one of them did give me some money to return here, without even requiring I return" he said with a sigh.
"I can get there safely I think..." sounding hesitant now. "What about you? if thre is a spy they will notice you.. "

Following along to the bus stop, Kylar walked quietly listening to Estrian. He didn't seem to think the higher ups were in league with SIU, but there was still no telling. It wasn't a risk he was willing to take himself just yet, given his previous defeat that nearly left him dead.
Kylar sensing the hesitation in Estrians voice spoke up, "Are you sure? I can help you get there just in case SIU is watching the buses out of the city. If there is a spy they will notice me, but I can go as far as Aldas before we would have to split ways."
