Kerrigan walked into the Infirmary, seeing the bleeding man on the floor, her attentions then turning to Veroen and Edith. Gail seemed to be absent, thought if someone was in bad shape, she had no doubt the woman would turn up before too long. Stepping to the side, taking the other side of the man that Veroen was holding, she eyed the vampire momentarily before speaking.
"Let's get him to a bed. I'm sure Gail's on her way - no hunter could get through security like this without someone telling Gail," she said simply, moving with their vampiric guest towards an open gurney. Why was it that any time she came to the infirmary, even if it was just to say hi to someone, she got blood on her clothes?
"It's probably a long shot, but either of you know what happened? I don't even know who this kid is," she said simply, moving back to wipe some of his blood off her jacket before it drove her crazy. Maybe she should avoid this place more often - it was always hard to get the lingering taste of blood from her mouth when she was done feeding. Being around blood made her want to feed all the more. Once she had her jacket cleaned off, she slipped the brown leather off her body, revealing her white cami. At least this way she wouldn't get blood on her jacket anymore...camis were relatively inexpensive. Grabbing a bunch of towels, she moved back over to the man, putting pressure on his wounds as best she could as they waited for Gail to arrive.
"Oh, hey Edith. Just thought I'd come check on you guys. Seems like this place never stops hopping," she said with a small chuckle, giving the woman a fanged grin as she saw her new leader for the first time since she left the city. It was always nice seeing old friends, and her and Edith went way back. Shame their first meeting couldn't be under happier circumstances though....

Heavy boots fell in the halls towards the infirmary, and the door opened of it's own accord. The door precluded the entrance of a man in an all black outfit: tripp belted pants; a tight belted vest; a hooded, belted trenchcoat; steel reinforced boots; steel reinforced biker-style gloves. The vest stretched up into a cowl, covering the lower half of the figure's face, the hood was low enough to cover the figure's hair, and leave a shadow over the red mirrored sunglasses. The man's right hand rested on top of his left, together concealing his belt buckle.
The man's head turned from person to person in the Infirmary. His gaze stopped on Kerrigan for a moment, and then shifted to Edith. 'Who's in charge here?' the man asked, in a voice that was almost familiar; calm yet angry, elegant yet raspy, enchanting whilst growling. Almost as if two voices spoke in unison. In fact, it *was* two voices in unison.
First glance would notice no equipment but gothic belted clothing on this man, save also for the steel reinforced boots and gloves. He stood attentively, waiting for a reply.

Veroen looked over to Kerrigan as she entered the room, and then back to the mysterious bleeding man. Veroen pushed his hunger to the back of his mind. Now would definitely not be the time to craving blood, especially if this man's life was at stake.
He and Kerrigan moved the man to a gurney, and laid him there.
But before Veroen could say anything, a dark figure entered the infirmary. This one, however, obviously had a psychic demeanor.
Veroen looked at the man curiously. As the man spoke, the Void within Veroen stirred. He did not know who this man was, yet he did at the same time. He could not put his finger on it. He glanced over at Eden, seeing if she would have a reaction that would confirm Veroen's hunch.

Kerrigan had her back turned to the entrance, towels still pressed on the man's wounds before her in an attempt to stop the bleeding. It was hard for her - keeping her hunger in check when there was blood all around her. To keep her focus, she kept her attention on the pressure she put on his wounds and didn't even turn around to look at the man that entered. She felt an all too familiar chill down her spine, though it wasn't enough to break her concentration. She did, however, at least grace his question with an answer. Where had she heard that voice?
"That would be Edith Jackson, right there. Where the hell is Gail," she called over her shoulder, her voice suggesting the concentration she was exerting to keep herself in control. All the therapy in the world wouldn't help in a situation like this...that was something she was figuring out more and more.

Veroen looked up at Kerrigan. He could sense that she was fighting hunger as well. They couldn't be here, with this blood everywhere. Not for much longer, anyway. Veroen would normally be able to handle this, but i had been so long since he had last fed...he couldn't remember the last time he had done so.... Not to mention the Void churning inside him, growing ever so slowly. Bad things were bound to happen in this situation if they lingered for too long.

The man walked up, and put his hands on the two vampires' shoulders. 'Go, we'll hold the bandages until Gail arrives.' the voices said, as pressure was put on the bandages underneath there hands. They'd notice it wasn't of their force. A number of more bandages floated toward the stretcher, and the man's hands were guiding them towards the body.
'We can sense you're both hungry, and this situation is not good for either of you. We suggest you go, and wait elsewhere for news.' the voices spoke, again. As the man finished speaking, luckily, Gail burst in with more bandages, and readied the stretcher to move into another room.

Kerrigan felt the hairs on the back of her neck tingle as their guest walked up to them, putting a hand on her shoulder and telling her and Veroen that they should leave before their hunger gets the best of them. On the one hand, she was glad someone at least was taking charge so she could leave without incident, however, another part of her wanted to know who the hell he thought he was that she should leave and let a stranger take care of a hunter. Turning as more bandages floated through the air, she gave the man a look over, the familiarity in his voice carrying over to how he carried himself. She could swear she knew this man, and as she turned to leave, it hit her. Her eyes widened, the huntress pausing in the doorway before she slowly turned around, placing one hand on her hip as she scanned him once more. She didn't even have to see his face to know that it was him, and yet she wasn't going to say anything. Whether it was shock that he was back, or not wanting to acknowledge him back in her life after everything, Kerri would say nothing to him.
"Edith, I'll catch up to you later. I think I'll head up to Hunters," she said, eyes never leaving Sethe's form before she turned and walked out of the room in a flourish of black hair. It might not be the reaction most were expecting, but most weren't there when the couple parted ways. It was a lot uglier than she liked to let on.

Veroen kept trying to focus his mind on helping the man, rather than on his growing hunger. Then, the stranger used his psychic abilities to get more supplies, such as bandages. Veroen watched as bandages floated through the air towards them. He was slightly impressed. This man was definitely powerful....
Veroen couldn't jog his own memory to remember who this man was.
He stood up, and followed Kerrigan out of the area. Veroen couldn't be in there for much too longer, with the smell of blood in the air.
He stopped at the doorway, and turned and spoke to Meredith.
"Edith, I'll see you in a bit."
He held up his hand, and waved once, as he turned and exited as well.
((Exit))

Tobias was starting to regain his conciessness. He sat up and asked the man with telekinesis," Can someone tell me where I am?"

When Kerrigan and Veroen both dismissed themselves she merely nodded as she stared at the strange man that she'd come to recognize as her brother. He seemed different somehow, colder perhaps? Harder. Either way he hadn't bothered with an introduction and she wasn't about to let this bleeding soul waste away simply because her jaw was about to drop. She'd gotten a message on the HIN but she'd almost convinced herself that it'd been a prank and that she was going to have to go out and beat the s**t out of whoever had decided to take up that name and con her like that. However, it seemed there had been no jest in the message and that it had been Krii after all. Of that she was glad but for the moment she had to focus on the more important thing and was quickly off to fetch Gail who was usually on top of these kinds of things. It was probably a busier night than usual so Meredith wasn't going to look down on the medic for it.
The hunter leader located the medic and explained the situation and Gail requested they heave the stranger onto an operating table for her and then their job became that of a waiting game. Though she was concerned for the man and had no idea where he'd come from she was definitely guilty of being more interested in what had happened to her brother whom had been presumed dead for the longest time.
Meredith felt a violent tremor throughout her body upon the strange man entering the room; the wolf had known instantly this figure was dangerous. Though her ability to recognize him had not been instant, she'd noticed sooner than Kerrigan had seeing as she'd bothered to look at the man. She'd been about to intervene, seeing that both vampires were probably not the best candidates to elect in assisting a bleeding person but it seemed that the stranger had taken care of it though once the bandages began floating recognition hit her instantly. For a few moments she stared in mere dumbfoundment until she regained her composure and raised her eyebrow as if to say 'where the f--k have you been this past forever?' It was not judgmental by any means but it was certainly perplexed and didn't understand. "Up in the north?" She asked with crossed arms after Gail took over. She was somewhat unfamiliar with her brother now, something seemed different and it prevented her from fully approaching him. "Why the hell were you there?"
The man asking Sethe where he was had interrupted her and she turned to him with slight irritation and stated, "You're in haven's infirmary. I don't know who you are or how you got here so you're going to sit tight right there until I know who the f--k you are. Got it? You're going to be taken care of regardless of race but if you do anything stupid you're going to be curbed. Alrighty?"

The hooded man turned to Eden as she asked him why he'd left. Then the injured man he'd given care to for a moment before Gail arrived to do her duty began to speak, asking where he was. Eden was kind enough to coldly tell him to politely shut the ******** up.
The hooded man turned back to Eden, and the gloved hands rose up to the hood, and pulled it back, over his head, and let it fall to rest on his shoulders. Snow white hair lay underneath, much shorter than Eden's memory would have it. In the stead of his long flowing hair, Sethe now sported medium length spunky hair.
He removed the red sunglasses, and he glow in his eyes Eden would remember was suppressed. Yet a slight white aura hovered over his eyes, as he showed off the tattoos on the right side of his face. He put his sunglasses in his coat, and his eyes reflected a smile. 'Did you miss us, sister?' the voices said in unison.
'We were there because the Alpha and Omega demanded it. There was something powerful there, and only we could handle the situation. The angel and demon warned not to let anyone join us. Or they would perish, so we could not let anyone come to harm. We cannot express enough apologies, but it was necessary.' It was a bit odd that Sethe was referring to himself as "we", but those who understood what he was, and what had become of him even before he'd left, might have an inkling as to why the hell he was talking like a madman.

While Eden wasn’t normally the unfriendly type there did come times when enough was enough and she wanted to hear her own voice for once and be able to ask someone a few questions without a friggin’ interruption every five minutes. It had been next to impossible to ask Veroen anything seeing as this new guy had quickly arrived on the scene delerious and now he was interrupting her when she was trying to get a read on where Sethe had been. People really couldn’t fully blame her if she was being a little bit impatient, if she didn’t take some time for herself to figure things out then she was going to be a hell of a lot more miserable to deal with in the future. Not to mention her stomach wasn’t making things any more enjoyable. Quite frankly, she thought she was doing pretty damned well for how she’d behaved so far so she wasn’t about to take lip from a newb hunter that’d clearly gotten himself hurt the first night. “Sorry if I’m trying to have a bit of a talk with my brother that disappeared a good six months ago and has suddenly reappeared but it kind of trumps the whole ‘where am I’ question in my mind.” She sighed and rolled her eyes though only Sethe would be able to see since she was facing away from the hunter who was telling her what to do, something that didn’t sit all that well with her and pinched a tiny nerve.
Regardless of the changes in appearance she hoped that Sethe was still Sethe and when he removed his sunglasses and asked her if she missed him her lips curved into a wide grin and she closed the distance between them and squeezed him in an extremely tight hug. It was indefinite that Sethe had already noticed that she was very different, one being that she was a lycan and two being that she had a pregnant belly that was impossible to miss. She had also allowed her natural black hair to grow back and had a few purple and green streaks throughout it but her hazel eyes still glowed with the same flare they always had. Meredith had certainly changed, she’d grown internally quite a bit, having been through a ton of bull s**t along the way but she was still Eden all the same. Perhaps she was a little rougher and tougher but she was still a softie underneath that deeply cared for her family and she was quick to drop her guard with Sethe once she was able to familiarize with him again. “Of course I f--king missed you! You have NO idea how much!”
“Next time you’re going to up and leave haven when we need you the most you should at least let your little sister in on it. Jeez. Was it THAT hard to say that you’re gonna need to leave instead of just up and disappearing? Do you really think I would have been able to follow you and leave everyone behind when everything was a mess already? I know you’re sorry and your apology is accepted … I just missed you a lot, Krii.” Despite the fact that Sethe did not at all mind her calling him by his actual name she still referred to him as ‘Krii’ though everyone else who was familiar with him tended to call him Sethe and those who he did not know were to call him Krii’Ouse. She wasn’t really worried about him caring what she called him, though. After all, she was his little sister and she’d missed him a hell of a lot. She’d been forced to push the idea of Sethe coming back aside since it’d been too painful to think about the possibility of him never returning to haven but he was here now and she was relieved enough that she even shed a few tears. They weren’t sobs or anything, just a few silent tears that streamed down her cheeks, likely to go unnoticed since her chin was resting on his shoulder. “It’s so good to have you back.”

'It is good to be back, sister. We have missed Haven and the get of Hunters a great deal.' the voices spoke, and Sethe held Eden tightly, in return. It'd been so very long since he'd seen her, and the mission that he'd been sent on had him traveling by himself, in an incredibly dangerous place.
'We have hunted creatures of terrible power. These beings were worse than any in our city, and meant to do great harm to the mortals. We have seen that there are some in this city that mean no harm to the mortals. We had to sate the Angel and Daemon. They required justice to be wrought. So, we went where they lead.' Sethe let their embrace continue until she let go. He knew this hug was necessary. He only wished that Kerrigan had made some sort of recognition of him. She had to know it was him. There's no way she couldn't have.
Eden would feel the old familiar tap on her psyche, as Sethe's voices spoke in her mind. *What has happened to Kerrigan? Do you have any clue how she took my leaving?* she would hear. 'So, tell us.' he spoke, 'How are the streets. Who are our most dangerous enemies right now?'

Veroen walked up to the entrance of the infirmary, still clutching his arm that now bore markings of the Void that burned with searing pain. However, despite this pain, he did not show it. He exhaled a deep sigh, and walked through the entrance of the Infirmary, pushing open the doors with his arm that did not burn.
He stopped when he saw Edith, and the man he had only heard of before, Sethe.
He stopped, and hesitated, and spoke.
"My apologies, i did not realize that you two were talking... I'll go elsewhere."
And with that he turned on his heels, and walked toward the entrance in an exhausted fashion, still clutching his Void-infested arm.
