Welcome to Gaia! ::

The doctor continued to stare out at the rest of the group as his attention was called. "Children, my objective here is not to kill you, though that is what the executive had desired. Honestly, do you think I would waste such valuable resources? Especially those of which some come from my own hand?" He began to pace across the room slowly. He gazed up at the girl who was now bouncing across the room destroying small metal projections. "You may wish to reconsider your course of action, indeed your only way out of this place is through me. You may wonder though, how will you defeat..." As a blue stream of energy came crashing towards him the doctor payed no mind, it dissipated into thin air long before reaching him. "...he who returned to you life, and limb." Another laugh echoed behind the mask.

"Look, Mariea, Elizabeth. Doctor K is not someone you wanna mess with. He's the Chief Researcher and head of the department that ran the tests on most of the experiments. His work extended far enough to include Normals and Naturals both. He is a genius. I don't know about you, but I don't wanna die if there's another way outta this." Angelo finished by turning his eyes back on the Doctor. "I've worked here too long to be foolish enough to try to fool you. Hell, even Ventus does what you say without question. So, what do you need?"
Ventus was cowering behind Karin, his body still trumping hers on all sides.
"Bad man..."
"Wait, are you the man that did this to Tony?" Karin asked, stepping forward some.

Doctor K bowed his head slightly to affirm Angelo's question. With a wave of his hand the hissing noises that came through the walls stopped momentarily. "My 'duty' here is simple, to have you all terminated from service and record. However as you surely know by now I have my own agenda, as unclear as it may seem. I am requesting samples of each of your DNA, but not that which is stored at the labs, not that which can simply be attained by way of normal collection." He began to pace back towards the wall as he continued to speak. "In my studies, I have recently found a piece among many that I lack towards a particular end. It is a strain of genetic code, and it seems to extend beyond the information contained in every human body. I believe it is there that the definitions of your powers are held. Humor my interest, and provide me with this piece of information, in return I will not only allow you to leave, but for your own benefit and mine I assure you the laboratory's efforts in pursuing you will be hindered." He turned to gaze back at Angelo before he heard the voice of one that he did not recognize. He stopped for a moment, then turned to look at her. "...You are related to Strobe in some way, aren't you?" He loosened some hair from behind the mask while assaying Strobe's condition before continuing. "Perhaps, his condition certainly seems far more severe than what is natural. Tell me, he is still alive, yes? When did he lose consciousness? You have similar powers, normally I would only be interested in Crow, Strobe, Kioko, Angelo and the combined ones, however having two strains of the same power, may prove beneficial." The doctor cleared his throat. "Of course, you always have the alternative of attempting a forceful escape. So, what do you say?"

"I don't mind." Karin said, shrugging her shoulders. "It's not like I'll even return here, anyway. All I want is my brother."
"Ventus, c'mon..." Angelo said, stepping beside Karin. Ventus carefully stepped to Angelo's side, looking ready to spring to safety should anything happen.
Suddenly, with a sharp intake of breath, Strobe lifted his head.
"Oooh, OW!" He slid off Crow's shoulder and onto the floor.

Crow listened carefully to the words spoken by Doctor K, if there were any implied meanings he wanted to spot them. Luckily aside from what he intended to do with this sample he was asking for he was relatively straight forward with what he wanted. Crow didn't like the idea of giving up something that separated the doctor and his powers, but at this point his friends might be put in danger if resistance was attempted. As Strobe awoke Crow went down to a knee and let hm down slowly against the wall. Then he stood and turned back to Doctor K, wondering how he intended on attaining these samples.

Kioko gasped as she was let go by strobe, the burn marks on her neck showed what he was almost about to do if it wasn't for karin to step in. Frantically, she felt around her neck for something, the mark, it can't be burned, it would be bad if it went away without it being removed normally. Feeling that it was still there, she sighed and removed her hands. the burn wasn't going to heal easily, especially since it was plasma that made it.
"strobe, it's karin, she was waiting for us by the edge of the woods, right outside Miami." she told him.

"strobe stop!!" Kioko shouted to him, sending a wave of air in his direction to knock him over, "if you continue like that, you'll kill her for sure!"
She let her arms go back down and she turned to glare at Doctor K.
"this is all your fault, if your stupid lab assistants didn't brainwash him, none of this would've happened. why'd you take him in the first place?" she asked him.
