Draega turned as Riot spoke and once more found that she had to lock her emotions away in order to remain stable. Instead she merely eyed Riot while her black wings stretched behind her, as if testing the air. Then she sank through the floor without a word. She reappeared mere seconds later directly before Riot. She placed a hand upon his chest and merely stared at him with calm, cold eyes. Her wings flexed once more, making her seem like an icy sort of demon devoid of emotion. When she spoke her voice turned to ice, "Just what makes you think that I am 'dear' to you in any way?" she asked quietly, her hand beginning to sink into his chest.
She stopped when she could feel his heart and carefully, softly, dragged a fingernail across the surface of his heart, just enough to hurt. "If you know humans so well...then you better than anyone...should know that they don't need weapons to kill." she said evenly before slowly pulling her hand back out, not even a drop of blood visible upon her hand except for that one nail. "What I want to protect...what I want Kain to promise me...is that despite everything I do. Despite all that might happen...I won't forget that at one point and time I thought I had a family that cared for me...who I cared for. And who I lost ...I want to remember that it is possible for me to love...and to be loved. That there is more to life than just this endless battle. That at the end of it all...I won't forget that there can be peace when we've done what we set out to do."

His eye locked on her's and a smile slithered onto his face. "I say your dear to me because Kain has trust me with your training." Riot's eyes turned coal black as he blinked his eye quickly. Then something inside him shifted, he stepped forward before her hand could fall to her side; he walked onto her hand and it slid inside of him. "I know you think your dangerous. Quite frankly i think you are too." He licked a fang and hopped she noticed that although there was something inside him something was missing. "But danger has never stopped anyone." He slid forward on her arm until his face was only an inch from hers, then he tilted his head to the side and whispered in her ear. "Especially not someone as heartless as me." He closed his eyes and they returned to their normal night sky black. Then he whispered a word and Dragea was jumped backward two feet.
Riot laughed again and slapped his knee. "Well atleast youve got spunk kid." He backed away and looked at her his eyes turning a soft blue. "I dont want to sound like a jerk but thats kain responsibilty. I can only teach you how to kill, not to be ok with it." He jumped closer to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "But i can promise this, i will do what i can to make sure you only lose an gain what is nessecary. I wont turn you into a monster or anything."

Draega held her arm as if she had been tainted by Riot. However she quickly let go of it and merely stared at him. She churned his words over in her head for a moment before studying him with a look that was more curious and pitying than anything else. She shook her head, like someone who has witnessed something pathetic on the street and does not know whether to acknowledge it or not. Draega chose to acknowledge it, as she always had. "Is that what you think of yourself? Or just what people tell you?" she asked in a way that implied she didn't really want an answer.

Riot cleared his throat and looked around the room. Then back at her, he inspected her and then quiet frankly found himself disgusted. This woman thought she was actually good enough to judge him. Someone who essentially wanted to kill and be innocent. "Let me ask you this, what are you going to do when Seth's dead. Say to yourself 'Oh its ok i avenged my buddy.'" He mocked her tone of voice and jumped to the left. Putting his hands in the air. "I didnt do anything wrong he wronged me." He jumped to the right. "After all he deserved it." Then he jumped back to his middle position. "Heres news for you. Every man or woman deserves life. No matter their crime. Because every second you breath you can make a difference. So what are you going to do rip out his heart and just go back to your old life. You will be a murderer. And just as you have been wronged so will others; frankly if Alex was to want help killing you for his death." He stopped and spat. "Id help her. So think before you act. Because your just continuing a cycle and your just on your way to becoming me." He held his hands high in the air and took a bow.

Slowly he'd rise from his throne as he felt the manor coming close to the end of it's travel, but more so he rose to approach Riot. He'd step slowly towards the bookcase with his fingers clenched tight in to a fist which would in turn cause his gloves to tear a bit. His steel-toed boots would sound light upon the ground, though at the same time each step would send a quake through the manor. His face was rid of all warmth and rather replaced with anger and rage as his teeth would clench and begin to grind.
"Tell me Riot, what will you do when my ambition is fulfilled? What will you do when this world is at peace and someone like you is rendered useless?"
After his question, he'd appear face to face with Riot, not even an inch between their noses. "You're here because I have use for you Riot, and that may even be exhausted in the near future. I highly suggest you re-evaluate your own, pathetic existence before calling hers, much less her morals in to question! Should you speak out like this again in front of a Lady I'll string your intestines along my chandelier, turn your bones in to my own personal armor and drink your body dry of that crimson elixir and allow you to live the rest of eternity as another soul trapped in the Ether-world I've created for the scum of the world!" His scowl would form in to a pale grin revealing both top and bottom pairs of fangs along with sharpened teeth or norm. "Shedding blood and ending lives is as easy as running a knife through butter, Riot." He'd then turn to face Draega, his back now in Riot's view. "Though you ought to know that better than anyone, isn't that right? Someone that must kill in order to prove they mean something to this world; someone who must kill in order to establish superiority in their own twisted mind"
He'd sigh, a very deep sigh at that as his left arm would rise to cross over his chest giving support to his right elbow so that his right forearm could move freely about the air with comfort. "Ms. Draega, so long as you listen to this bloodthirsty gremlin's ideas on stealth kills and no more, then I promise you that you'll never lose hold of you, and should you ever feel your true self drifting away, I further promise to be here for you to help bring it back." He'd offer her a warm smile and rest his right palm on her head for a moment as he moved passed her to make his way to a strange, rather out of place door next to the fireplace. One could easily feel the manor run in to something, though it had simply locked in to place.
"We, Lady and Gent, shall form the new Black Rose. We'll be the sword and the shield of this poor, suffering world. This of course means you'll need to kill the higher-ups of the organizations out there, Riot, and that you, Ms. Draega, will need to eliminate the enemies of the Black Rose, such as Seth." He'd hold both right and left hands out, and quickly two katanas would form in the palms of his hands. The smaller, more decorative katana would be thrown to Draega, while the longer, more curved katana would be thrown to Riot." If I can trust the two of you to be the Second and Third Swords, then I invite you to see my true home that not even you've seen, Riot. Please, your answers now..."

Riot looked at Kain's back fully aware of what stood before him. Riot began ot get furious, his image began to static and he appeared to be fading out while at the same time his image appeared in front of Kain again as close as he was. His voice low so that Dragea would not hear, "I don't care what you've done for me, what you think of me and how you think you would end me. If you ever speak to ME like a dog again, ill show what dogs do to piece s**t masters. Ill help you with her simply because some part of me of me still feels like i owe you; dont ever talk down to me." The static image of him in front of Kain vanished and the one behind him was complete again. Seth took Kains katana and strapped it to his back. He thought for a moment and added aloud, "And when your war is over and you rule the planet. Im going on visit my wifes grave and go on vacation." Riot jumped across the hall and began walking down the corridor to the balcony.
Once he was outside he thought back to what he said. A world without need for assassin's sounded like paradise, he could go back to the old days where he wasnt cleaning blood of himself at night. Sleeping without seeing the face's of the ones hed killed. Most of all he could see his wife's grave again. He remembered the night she died and most of all who killed her. But that tid bit he dared not think. He remembered her soft features and black hair that mirrored his white a yin-yang way; he then remembered the first time they met. Summer time at a park she was walking her dog and he was just alone staring out at the lake. Her dog got away and he caught him, a typical cleche of a meeting but it spawned love none the less. Married for five years and forced apart forever.
Riot bit his lip and felt a tear slid down his cheek; instantly jumped backward a few feet seeing the tear fall in the air. He looked at it like a bird had just released it from its rear and felt disgusted that it either came from him or touched him. His jaw locked and his eyes turned a furious red. After all this time he was just as weak as he was then, his flung his fist forward into the air and it met solid contact with something, he pulled it back and it was covered in blood; barely noticeable amidst the blood was a beating heart.. He took a step forward and then let his out stretched hand drip blood on the tear. The wind blew and his white bangs dropped in front of his face, all he could see was the blood on the ground and his hair.
"A world without assassin's... It wont ever happen." He smiled wickedly and threw the heart over the edge watching it fall through the sky.

Christina frowned, but she smiled out at the view. She definitely didn't want to lose any limbs, but she was so excited. "I can't believe I'm here!" she told Riot, leaning out over the side, her hands firmly on the rail. "It's so beautiful! Where is this place?" Her heart was racing as she imagined using her abilities in more ways then she could imagine, of being accepted and being able to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. She didn't have to go home anymore. "What is the doctor like, is he nice?" Christina shaded her face and looked up at the sun.

He looked at her frowning. "He a very ni..." He didnt finish that senence Kain was an a*****e. He would probably experiment on her worse than a holocaust victim. Why was he allowing this to happen to a sweet innocent girl? Why was he going to turn over Christina to Kain? "Kain is a good man, he means well but his words can be harsh." That was the truth and he realized then that he could help her. He would have Kain help her not abuse her powers. "Just be respectful and remember youve basically turned yourself to my judgement, i promise nothing will hurt you. Were just here to delve into your powers anything else is out of the question unless you agree." He wanted to sound persausive and reliable. But in reality he just sounded like he had betrayed her.

"What do you mean? Riot!" She stepped away from him, aghast. "What is going on here?" There was a terrible premonition inside Christina at his words. " 'You've basically turned yourself over to my judgement?' " She stepped back even farther, and she realized that she was at the door. Sliding down it, her face went down into her chest and her arms covered her head. "I want to go home." She really wanted to be strong, to be able to handle anything, but she kept remembering eight years ago when they had those wires attached to her and made her heal animals and people and see if she could bring dead people to life.
Christina wiped her eyes and sat upright. "I don't know what to do anymore. Just promise nothing will happen." She could be strong enough. She'd promised herself that she'd make it to twenty, and now she was acting like she was ten. 'One more year,' she thought, and stood up.

He figured hed start with the first lie. "Im not a termination specialist whatever, im an assassin. I kill people like you for me money. Kain is whatever he wants to be, basically a higly intellegent powerful individual who only see things worth as what they can do for him." He looked at her like she was a piece of meat. "And right now your about as valueable a U.H that ive seen." Then he smiled warmly and walked over to her picking her up and into his arms. "But i wont let him hurt you, and hes no monster. So just co-operte and youll find they key to your powers and maybe find a new family here in the black rose." He meant it all and hoped she accepted, hed die before Kain touched her in the wrong way.

She had frozen when he looked at her like meat, wondering what exactly was going on. Then he'd picked her up and she came alive. She twisted around and kicked him in the face, not caring that she'd probably show her underwear. Christina had to get away. A survival instinct had kicked in. She pushed away from him with her hands and feet. "I won't if you look at me like that!"

Riot neck snapped in the opposite direction after the blow landed and his neck popped. "Thanks i needed that." He jumped so tha as she was backing away, she backed into his chest. He starred down into her and laughed, "Now stop playing around if i wanted you dead or hurt theres nothing you could do to stop me." It was harsh but it was true.

"No!" Christina stopped running away since it wouldn't do any good, but she glared with all her heart. "I hate you," she told him seriously, and her eyes welled up with tears. "I trusted you, but you're just as bad as a human." Riot's face teased her with his strange eyes, and she looked down. "Do whatever you want!" she muttered.

He looked at her intensively, anyone else and that insult would have cost them their life. "Listen to me before i lose my ******** temper. Your here to get help, you wanna go back to god damn library and little miss innocent HUMAN WANNA BE then ill take you. You wanna find out what you can really do and stop waiting for the world to take you, then you stay." He grabbed her arm roughly. "Stop acting so weak and grow a back bone because in the U.H world youll get ate up acting that way." He knew first hand the cruelty of the world and he want mad at her; he smelled the weakness and that what was eating him up. "You have the strength to do great things, or you can just stand on the side lines. BUT DONT WASTE MY TIME!" The last part game out with a predatory like growl.

"I don't need you to tell me what I can and can't do!" She was so angry, she yanked her arm away. "What good is it being a U.H. if you can't actually be any better then them! You need to grow up and take responsibility for your actions!" She growled at him in return and pushed him, channeling all that anger into her hands. There was a flash of light as she emitted radiation, and she was pushed away from him. She stared at her hands, the anger ebbing away. "What was that?"
