Shira sighed "I thought I explained everything for the most part but alright." she muttered. She blinked in surprise at Atticus' arm. She took out the usb and plugged it into his hand. "Here... you are a bit better at explaining..." she told Krieg.
Atticus looked over at Shira, "Well, to be honest, I feel as though you are leaving some things out. Either because you are trying to protect someone or you just don't trust me enough to divulge everything." Atticus told her. He had already managed to dwindle down the list of possible sleeper agents and three people in particular stood out to him. Of those three, all were either friends of Shira or her father. As she plugged the usb in, a holographic image of the file would appear in front of them, Atticus, using his right hand, would touch the file and sift through its contents, reading everything that might be of relevance to the case. As he did this, he awaited Krieg's explanation.
Krieg says to Atticus "TX117A, a weapon created by Machinst Order. TX117A got exiled because he couldn't pass his final test. When he exiled, he got "branded." TX117 was supposedly the strongest flame based weapon that's a sleeper agent. Who else in your school is a flame based weapon and has T and X in their name? Thats right Texas." He looks at both of them "Texas is indeed the sleeper agent."
Shira sighed again "It was more of I am trying to find a way to put the rest of it into words." she said before Krieg spoke. Once he finished, Shira leaned back in her seat "Yeah... That." she said "I talked to him, he has signs of being it. He hasn't awoken yet... it is unknown when that will happen." she said. "I tried getting him to activate early but it seems that won't happen... For now I want to keep this issue with just the few of us who know. If the rest of the DWMA or DMA find out about this, nothing good will come from it. I am trying to find a way to prevent anything from happening early." she explained, knowing Atticus may not take this well. The last time Mirai's life was in danger, he almost went off the deep end and that was what caused their break up.

Krieg says to her "You guys know Chuck the death scythe right?" He looks at both sitting down "He disappeared for long tome and came back to Death City hiding. In the mean time, he hacked everyone's system gathering data. He could get information the old fashion way. He just needs to make contact Machinst Order person then get some info from me."
As he continued reading through the numerous files, Atticus would stop and his eyes shot towards Krieg as the kishin mentioned Texas' name and the possibility that he may be the sleeper agent. If that was the case, then that also meant that Mirai was in danger. Anyone that knows Atticus, know that if his sister's life is in danger, he becomes a savage beast, his family is very important to him, but this Atticus seemed different, he didn't appear angry at all. As Shira went on to explain her actions and her reason for keeping it a secret to not only him, but everyone else, Atticus' actions became even more puzzling. With a smile on his face, Atticus sat back and looked towards Shira, "I figured as much." he told her plainly. "In this short amount of time, of the three people that I managed to come up with are, Texas was the one that stuck out the most. Honestly, you could have just told me already." Atticus was obviously different, perhaps during his training he had managed to finally gain control over that anger in him, but this was truly odd. "If he is the number one suspect, then why not simply take him away and question him? Perhaps there is some clues locked away in that head of his. Who knows, maybe he is pretending. Either way, wouldn't it be safer to lock him away, at least for now?"
Shira looked at Krieg "Contacting the Machinist Order is a bad idea. That is another group I need to be careful. For all I know, talking to Texas could have signaled the Order about me trying to dig into info about them. If you are saying Chuck is that good of a hacker or whatever though..." she trailed off. She looked at Atticus "I didn't know how to put it... I wasn't trying to hide anything from you. I can't do that with you." she said with a sad expression. When Atticus asked if they could just question Texas she thought for a moment "I tried to... he was very angry with his responses though... an obvious defense sign. There was... an obvious sign... one time when I said his designation name, he just turned into a blank canvas. He had no emotion in his eyes, in his voice, the exact opposite of usual Texas. I think that was the sleeper agent... then I told him about Mirai and he snapped out of it. I don't know if his attachment towards his partner is keeping him in check now or what... but besides the anger he acted clueless throughout the whole questioning process I had." she said as she looked at the ceiling in thought.
Atticus laughed as Shira mentioned that she had already questioned him. To him, what she did was not questioning it was more or less just a little test, to which he obviously failed. "Shira, that is not what I meant. What I was referring to was binding his legs and arms in chains, taking him to a hidden location and interrogating him. Of course, we wouldn't do anything to drastic, but if it appeared as though he was hiding something, we could simply use magic on him and reach into his mind." What Atticus was suggesting was horrible and cruel. He was actually considering taking his sister's partner and subjecting the boy to unknown terrors, all for the sake of gathering information. "If it is indeed his attachment towards my sister, that is keeping him in control, then why not sever that attachment? Take him away from her, or her away from him and thoroughly question the boy." Clearly, his time away, only caused Atticus' demon half to grow in strength, which shows as he was speaking more like Divine. His heart had indeed blackened a little, "Would this not be more within the limits?" he asked her.
Krieg says to her and Atticus "If talking to Texas signaled Machnist Order that people are trying stop them, then we can't trust anyone in the city but the school." He looks at both for a second then laughs like a maniac "Shishishishi I say we kill the poor b*****d." He opened up his creating a small soul bomb "That way we don't have to deal with then anymore and Texas."
Shira stared at Atticus in slight disbelief at first before her expression went neutral "Texas is my friend. I wouldn't do such things to him. He looks like he cares as much for Mirai as you do for me and I won't do that to him." she told him with a calm expression. She sighed as Krieg got into it too "No." she muttered. She looked at Atticus "Bad idea getting him hyped up... he does bombs, I don't want him to blow the place up."
"Shira, you do realize that you are not only putting Mirai's life in danger, but also everyone in the city as well?" he asked. "If we think things through clearly and rationally, putting our feelings aside, this is the only way. Well, the only way that doesn't involve death." Atticus stated, glancing over at Krieg. "Look, if it will make you feel better, I could just take him away somewhere and the two of us could talk." Of course Atticus was joking about that, since he knew that Shira would not trust him alone with Texas. "In all seriousness, is it better to have him walk around free, with the thought that one day, he will be awakened and cause vast devastation to our city or do we stop it before it comes to that, by either taking him out, or locking him up and trying to find a way to free him from the Order?" Atticus said without so much as a hint of hesitation.
Krieg grins and says "Shishishishishi Like I said we just kill the poor b*****d." He glances at Atticus "We cant free a man thats an sleeping agent. It's not the right time but for mean time we should keep an eye on him." He was started to get riled up wanting to kill Texas "And Shira I wont make the place go boom. I just make go boom and watch his body splatter all over the place."
Shira shook her head "No. I am not doing it your guys' way and that's final." she told them. "That group did horrible things to him... I won't make it so he thinks we are just like them. Even though he is a sleeper agent, part of him is still Texas. I will find my own way of solving this." she said before standing up. Atticus once again had flipped his personality. With this issue, she wished the passive Atticus was there not the one just talking about torturing Texas without batting an eye. She washed off her dishes and put them away before walking past Atticus and unhooking the usb drive from him. "Yeah... Now I am going to bed I think..." she said with a tired expression mixed with quite a few other emotions. "Night..." she said before heading to her room and closing the door behind her. Ellise watched quietly while standing there without saying anything. Once Shira was in her room, she changed into her pajamas and laid down in her bed just staring at the ceiling as she tried to think of what to do to help Texas and also protect Mirai.
As it was obvious that Shira would not go along with his suggestions, Atticus only sighed. Watching her go and wash her dishes and then head into their bedroom, Atticus looked to Ellise and then Krieg, "Well, we can save all this for tomorrow." he stated before getting up and heading into the bedroom with Shira, shutting the door behind him. Seeing Shira laying on the bed, Atticus could tell that she was upset with him and really stressed about the whole situation. Going over, Atticus sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the ground. "Shira, what I said, may have sounded extreme and out of character, but I was only thinking of protecting Mirai and the innocent civilians. It is also in the best interest of Texas as well."
Shira heard Atticus but said nothing in reply to him for a while. "If I can't come up with anything else... then we can use your idea. But if we end up doing it, Mirai may hate you for it and the Texas we know may choose to become a sleeper agent and turn against us completely." she warned.
