Abel sighed, this guy was a handful. The accent he had determined was Scottish, so the guy would be strong, but only for a human. He still would be cautious, but not to the point where he would draw his guns, he had a better idea. He turned around and took off his jacket, underneath which he chose to wear no shirt since it impeded his functions. With it you could see all his mechanics. Both his cybernetic arms, one made well looking almost human, the other his won where you could see some of the wiring. His torso had various mechanisms along it, and scars like you could not imagine. It it weren't for the fact that he remembered being a regular kid one could swear he was a monstrosity. It was the price paid for being experimented on. He did this gesture to show Lexy that she should not be upset about being different, at least her difference was not noticeable. He also did it to show the new guy that he was unarmed, but also to freak him out, he had not appreciated that sarcasm.
"As you can see I am not armed. I have decided to forgo fighting you, though you might like to note that with this body I would win. Though don't get me started with my associate. My name is Abel, the man in black is Khane. We are what you would business partners, guns for hire, so I say please do not anger us, I especially hate sarcasm. Now the lady who shot at you would be Erica, not my business so don't ask me. Last is Lexy, my business, not yours. Now with introductions done, I hope you calm down and we may speak quietly."
Abel hoped his little bit of intimidation would be apparent to the guy. He was doing it not as a threat but a warning, be prepared if you want to speak to them.

Impressed by the show of strength on Abel's part, Cathal crossed his arms and said, "One thing my good lad, where is all of this hostility towards me coming from? I have done nothing, I was the one that was attacked."
He made a quick glance over at Erica, then back to Abel.
"And also, I really have no intention in impeding your business, or even asking you about it, I know how things work, I myself being in similar lines of work as the two of ye gents."

Lexy smiled at Abel, "Thanks," was all she could really think of saying at the time. She looked up at the new guy that walked into the room. She eyed him carefully, taking in all of him. Like with all new people, she was keeping her eye on the guy, and wasn't going to say anything to him. Another one of the shadow creatures appeared between where Lexy and Abel stood and where the new man was. I didn't move, just stood there, watching him. She still wasn't sure how to make these creatures appear, but she thought that it was a good thing.

Abel lifted an eyebrow at the comment that there work was similar but he would ask about that after he got his coat on. He turned around and saw the shadow creature. He looked at Lexy and smiled, then winked at her and walked up to the creature and picked it up.
"Well aren't you just a precious little thing. Nice and savage too just how I like animals. Why don't you just disappear for now little devil you."
Abel then put the creature back down confident it would disappear soon. He then picked up the coat and put it on.
"You know Lexy I get the feeling that these creature, if you found out how to control them could be used to help you, plus I bet you could make them look like anything you want. Keep practising and you never know what might happen."
He then turned back to Cathal and looked him over as if evaluating him.
"You said something about being in the same business, care to elaborate on that. The more you talk the closer you get to me treating you to a drink, downloading all data on the area let me know where to get something like what you want.

The moment that Abel set the creature down it did indeed vanish. She looked at Abel. "I wouldn't even know where to start to try to control those things. I don't even know where they come from!" She figured that Cathal must have seemed okay to Abel cause he didn't seem to be killing him or anything. So Lexy sat back down but kept her eyes focused on the man. She still didn't trust him, but then again she never trusted many people.

Abel nodded his understanding to Cathal, it would seem that they would get along just fine. He then turned to Lexy, right now she was his little project and he was interested in seeing it through.
"Well Lexy, it will probably take time, but you have time a lot of it so no worries. Right now why don't you just be yourself and have fun, hell for all you know it might just come naturally."

Khane let go of Erica for a moment and walked up behind Lexi, placing a heavy hand on her shoulder. He had been eying her powers, and wanted them, if abused correctly he could do some random crap like he saw in a video game once..."Um Lexi... there's something I want to show you around the corner, a book I spotted on my way in. Just come with me and I'll show it you."

Cathal saw what Khane was doing, but he did not want to become involved, but he got the feeling that something unexpected was about to happen.
He decided he would at least attempt to look uninterested, He removed one of his mausers from its holster and began spinning it in his hand, stopping every now and then to inspect it, and check the mechanism. All the while whistling to himself, and uttering some musical lyrics in scottish gaelic.

Kaylee walked into the library but stoped in the doorway. She shut her eyes and swayed slightly, dizzied by the masive amounts of "hidden garbage" the people in this room had. She steadied herself and glanced nervously around before bravely walking down an aisle looking for some good books turning a corner she walked right into Khane "Oops sorry...."she said looking at him. "...didnt see you" she was nervous talking like she always did when stuff like this happend but she was also fighting the dizzyspells she was getting from these people.

Cathal witnessed Kaylee bump into Khane, and feeling that he should keep her from becoming involved with Khane's current situation he quickly acted. He holstered his mauser and quickly moved across the room to Kaylee.
"Hello there wee lass, you look like you're going to pass out. Are you feeling ill? here come over here with me and have a wee sit down."
He then began to lead Kaylee over to a nearby table.

Kaylee was surprised by the suden intervention but thankfull for it. she turned to Cathal and said " err thanks im...im not sick..." she stumbled over the words she did feel like she was going to pass out but she had known this was going to hapen right? she had known that the amount of hidden garbage this schools students had would be enough to leave her unable to sleep for weeks..."I was..." she tried to remeber what she had been doing "...looking for a book...hmmm" as Cathal led her away from Khane she was able to squish the dizzyness to almost nonexistance. "ummm..." she said. "i think it was a verry old book..." She walked forward and sat at the table thinking... "I cant remeber what it was called." She lay her head on the table part of her wanting to give in to the nightmares of the people around hers worst memorys... but most of her just wanted to sleep unhindered by the nightmares...

Lexy looked up at Khane and became freaked out. She didn't know if she should follow him or not, Abel didn't really tell her much about him. He looked scary to her, but at the same time was interested in what he wanted to show her. She looked over at Abel for some type of motion for what she should do.
