Walking through the hallway after Arno had managed to bolt up off of her, as she had been sleeping in the bed that was deemed as the shark kids as it was more comforting than being in a bed that smelled of clean, soon leaning against the wall for a moment as she yawned wide. Rubbing her eyes a bit, she glanced at the woman on the couch then to the three hovering over her, then to the strange newcomer who was covered in an assortment of blood and was currently sipping a mug of coffee. "Okay who the ******** are both of you?" Moira asked bluntly, just leaning against the wall, ignoring her own hunger for a bit.
Looking over to the woman that just spoke, Zephyr just stared at her for a moment, soon realizing that THAT wall of muscle and pain was the one he got sent out to track and either kill or re-capture. Taking in a breath to calm the sudden case of jitters he got about just thinking about how much pain that Moira could inflict, he turned back to Zaku and tilted his head ever so slightly, taking another sip of his coffee. "I don't want to really join you, just help you. As for what she told them after cracking, I won't tell you. My offer for what I'm giving you is actually quite simple. More of this coffee, a new pack of cigs, and the gps chip of the one known as Moira."
Hearing her name, Moira looked back to the stranger with purple hair and seemed to pale slightly. She hadn't even thought about Haven having put a tracking chip in her, but she wasn't all that surprised, but it was enough to make her stomach drop. "Oh..oh god...i...they're tracking me?" she asked quietly, looking down at her right arm, as if it would be in that one.

Blaise sighed with annoyance, "Okay, just to catch everyone up.... This is Dr. Broken, the science lady that created us and she was saved from torture stuff from Haven, the shitbags, and the nice man is named Zephyr and he saved her and is giving us money... And I'm Blaise, and I'm not dead... Just healing her half-missing arm... looks like they were trying to do the same thing they did to freight train. So now that everyone's all caught up, can we figure out what the ******** to do about all this??" she stammered on with irritation that somehow perfectly displayed just how freaked out she was by it all.
Zaku sighed as he listened to Blaise ramble on and catch everyone up. He then heard Zephyr explain he wasn't interested in joining, only helping them. "So she did crack..." he muttered softly with a sigh. That was unfortunate. If she was the one that made them, they could have obtained all sorts of dangerous information from her that could eventually hurt them. As Zephyr made his demands, they were simple. He motioned to Kate as she scurried off to get more coffee for Zephyr, meanwhile Zaku moved to the pile of dufflebags in the living room and located a certain one, rifling through what seemed like a sea of mesh, some handcuffs jangled within the bag, and a bit of female clothing. He sighed and pulled out an unused pack of cigarettes and tossed them to Zephyr. After all that, he slid his eyes to Moira with a melancholy look. He didn't want to ask who should get it out of her, even if they could locate it. "Where is it in her?"
Arno had stopped eating as the mention of Moira having been implanted with a tracking device caught his attention. A rare sight as he stood, some food still messily hanging from the side of his mouth as he then ate that too. "Beefcake's bein' tracked? That's no good." he spoke grimly as he moved to her. "How do we get the darned thing out?"
Taking the fresh pack of cigarettes, he bowed his head a bit and pocketed them, as he would need them after a day like today. The coffee would help too, but that was being fetched. Fiddling with the cigs in his pocket, he looked over to Moira again and then back to Zaku, just shrugging, "They never told me where it was, but considering she only has one arm, I doubt they'd put it in her other arm. If anything it's probably somewhere that most people wouldn't think about. Now, that information.." he smiled a bit, digging into his other pocket and fishing out the flash drive that had the logo of Haven on it. "I trust you enough to actually get me that tracking chip, so I'll give you this," Zephyr grinned, soon tossing the flash drive over to Zaku, hoping he would catch it.
"Wait - Doctor Broken? You... you mean my grandmother?!" Moira shouted, looking a mixture of upset and angry, soon making her way over to the couch and kneeling down to look at the woman laying there. She couldn't really recall the woman, but if it was here, then well. Well s**t, it would be her grandmother. Another person in her family she didn't really care about.
"Wait.. like, Alice had a kid? Damn, I feel old..." she looked surprised but ultimately kept focusing on the woman she was healing. "Yeah, this is.. My aunt, Dr. Kae Broken. Which makes me.... uhhh.. I don't want to figure that out... It makes me related too.. surprise, but not really, our family is large and full of assholes." she chattered on, still nervous and not really keeping a good reign on the filter from her brain to her mouth.
Cordelia appeared from the shadows, catching the flash drive before it hit Zaku in the face as he wasn't paying attention to even catch it. She moved to her bag, pulled out a laptop and plugged it into the TV, as she began to type on the computer, the screen flickered and showed her desktop. Without much word, she began to open files, and starting to decrypt the more classified files. She displayed the first file which showed Kae's details, what they knew about her, and what they did to her. Letting it sit to the side as she opened more files, one of them being a list of transfers into Haven from other facilities. She opened another file that showed... coffee orders. She snorted a bit and closed that one. Then paused over a video file labeled H-MRD_HBJ_ADAMANTINE.mp4. She raised an eyebrow and looked to Zaku. "Let me know when you all are done reading this stuff and I'll play the video. Knowing Haven, this s**t might be graphic... so kiddos, cover your eyes."
Zaku skimmed over what was opened. "Looks like a bunch of stuff on her past and where she's been... Potions that affect us... s**t, item removal.. She can do that?" he placed a hand over his mouth with an intense stare. His eyes suddenly went wide as he read that she claimed to have tortured Lucian. "...Lucy... s**t.... What the ********> he glanced at Kae with a horrified expression then looked to Moira suddenly, worried how she was going to react to that.
[Arno does something, I think. Or says some stuff, who knows....]

As they took the files and started to look them over, Zephyr took out the pack of cigs and started to head towards the back door, "Well if you kiddos need me, I'll be outside smoking." he stated, starting to hum as he walked outside. Once he was out back, he opened the fresh pack of cigs, still humming the same tune he had been humming when he had gotten out of the car, he lit the cig and brought it to his lips.
Hearing the word Haven, Moira took a moment before grabbing Arno and shoving his face into her chest, deciding that this might be the best way to distract him considering he went apeshit over the mere mention of the place before. Though, as Zaku mentioned one of the nicknames for her brother, she seemed to tense up, her eyes darting to the TV and just staring at what it said for a moment then looking back to her grandmother, "You ******** b***h." the anger was there, but it was quite clear that she was holding it back, something that was still an issue for her. As she struggled to get a grip on her anger, she gripped Arnos shoulder tighter, digging her nails in.

[TRIGGER WARNING: Spoilers used for graphic written gore and torture. Proceed with caution.]
Blaise was concentration on healing, being faced away from the tv as she could only hear the conversation from the people in the room. She didn't want to hear anymore honestly, but she had a job to do with healing the doctor. She took a deep shaky breath as furrowed her eyebrows.
Arno was pulled into a hug by Moira, face planted firmly in her bosom as he didn't fight it at all. He heard her curse at someone and he looked up at her, "Hey, I didn't do nothin.." he then followed her gaze to Kae. "Oh... what me to eat her?... " he suggested, not fulling grasping at the situation.
He sighed as he returned to the screen, now sure she wasn't going to pull an Arno and freak out, and even so she grabbed the shark boy to shield him. "...Ashral.. Who's that?.. Why do they want to know about a malice? And who's..." he ran his hand through his hair as his face looked pretty grim. "...recipe to separate spirits.... .golden alter... extraction.... amalgamation.. oh gods..." he looked down to Kae and clenched his teeth in anger and distress. He then looked at the list of transfers. "Vic transferred [date], Giovanni transferred [date], Kveta transferred [date], Anastasia transferred [date], Jason in transit... " he hesitated, "Wait.. Hexxis? Isn't that... SIU's kid?... transfer upon apprehension... s**t." This was all starting to get to be too much. Memories of his time at Haven as well as all the things he had done began to surface. He shook the thoughts and swallowed hard. Taking one last look around the room. "....play the video.." he requested in a low, solemn voice.
Cordelia nodded, taking a deep breath herself in the silence of the room and opened the file. The video player popped up and an image of Moira showed on the screen. The video showed them torturing Moira for information, her screams echoed through the quiet house. Everyone stood in complete silence, eyes fixated on the video being played. Question rung in between each set of screams and horrifying torture methods.
'Where is Kae Broken?' 'You think I know?'
'Where is Alice Broken?' '?????? I haven't seen her since I was a kid'
'Do you have a Malice or Mane?' 'What?'
'Why wont you let us take the ring?' 'Because ******** you thats why.'
'Why do you keep trying to escape?' 'I dont know, why the ******** do you keep failing to notice I can escape?'
The video skipped to 5 years ahead in date.
'Do you have anyone who would come looking for you?' There was no answer.
It then showed Moira getting her wings ripped off slowly, as she screamed out in pain.
Cordelia scrambled to fast forward the video as it skipped ahead to a date 5 years after the last.
'Do you have anyone who would come looking for you?' There was no answer.
The video then skipped another 5 years.
'Do you have anyone who would come looking for you?' There was no answer, as it showed Moira with the fresh wounds to her face.
The video skipped another 5 years, to a date only a few weeks ago as it showed
doctors around Moira, a few of them with saws as they tried to cut into her left arm to remove it, showing obvious trouble as they got close to the bone, Moira screaming yet again, her voice raw from deeply scratched vocal cords.
Cordelia stood there, eyes wide as tears welled up in them and she was too horrified to skip ahead in the video.
Michael had been fine watching the video until the last part as his eyes went widen and he covered his mouth and ran out of the room suddenly.
Blaise had been chilled by the sounds coming from the video, still facing away as she tended to Kae. She suddenly looked up and watched as Michael ran out of the room, her curiosity peaking too much as she stopped healing to turn around and see the horror upon the screen. "....oh my god.." she whimpered as she covered her mouth in horror, her eyes wide with fear as they began to tear up. She was frozen in terror as she began to shake, then suddenly bolted to her feet and ran back into the hallway, into her room and slammed the door shut.
"Cordelia! Turn it off!!" There was no response. "CORDELIA!!!"
She blinked in surprise, even yelping as she began moved to close the window. Leaving the room in an eerie quiet that just left the sense of dread waft through the living room. Eyes darting between each other before falling on Moira and Arno. Horrified faces, watching.. waiting..
Tri clenched his teeth, hearing someone humming a slightly familiar song but his focus was entirely on what the renegades were uncovering. Why....
As the audio degraded down to the sounds of a women screaming and question. The voice sounded familiar...rock lady? He stared at his phone thinking while holding the pen to take more notes. When everything dropped to silence he flicked open the phone and called.
Ree blinked and reached out to grab his fully charged flip phone and answered, glancing around for a pen. "Something happen?" He muttered quietly, not even bothering to look at the number as he found the pen and got up waiting.
"...Not at the moment. Just some information I overheard. Pass this along to Hexxis and Ashral as well. Haven is after them, both of them. Orders are for her to be transfer to them upon apprehension. There was a list of other people along with Hexxis but their names are to common, to be easily found ...except....Kveta. See if something pops up for her. Experiments listed were soul separation, extraction, golden alters, item removal " he took a breath and let it out slowly, listening to the headphone but nothing yet and Ree stayed eerily silent.
"Also, Haven had Kae and may have broken her" stopping as that got a soft curse out if Ree. " Zaku assumes that at least. She is currently in their care but safe if Zaku's past actions are anything to go by' this time his voice took on a slightly dry tone. "She was brought over by a meta mercenary. Zephyr Z-e-p-h-y-r Kardis K-a-r-d-i-s . Stay away from him. Haven contractor. I get the feeling he is the type that does things for his own self interest instead of the highest bidder, so more unpredictable. He has a website. Look up his picture there and both of you memorize it. "
"...got it " there was quick scribbling from the other side of the phone. " So if we're attacked. Assume Hexxis is going to die just like me but more painfully and over a longer period of time if she is captured. Before you ask yes.. That actually was an option" Ree let out a soft sigh. "Why are they after her now?"
"Maybe no reason other than she went through two other research areas that had no connection to them. Either ways just do that. I will contact you again if there is anything else. Text you if things just calm down on their own " Tri said quietly but quickly.
"Okay...and you're sure leaving Kae there is the best option?" Ree frowned.
"No, but far as I can tell they are healing her at least. Zaku won't let them hurt her unless she hurts them first. Of course I could be wrong, but I am listening and will call if I need help. Plus we are outnumbered and have no backup. I rather not face them again unless for a really good reason"
"Careful then" he waited until Tri hanged up the phone and frowned. Now he wouldn't mind seeing the buildings the Renegades and Haven where in come crashing down on them both. Picking up the notepad he made some notes on he went off to find Hexxis, worried as he turned over what Tri had said in his mind. Tri was worried enough to call them now instead of waiting until he got home and.....Haven? Contacting Hexxis the day after the parley Thad been chance one that nearly killed them both but it saved her from Haven... We're Melody and Leukos on the same boat? Were they transferred?
Tri closed the phone and waited, listening to the headphones. They were in shock? Switching channels to the other three bugs to try and understand what was happening before moving back

Closing her eyes, her hand still digging into Arnos shoulder, she just listened to Zaku read off the rest of what he thought was important. Though, as she heard the name Vic, her eyes snapped open and she looked back over to the tv, and there sat a file with his name. Vic Jessue. She took in a shaky breath, tears starting to well in her eyes. "O-oh oh no..they..I th...Vic.." Moira seemed to be slowly breaking down, her entire body shaking as the emotions started to run through her head. Moving to sit down - and taking Arno with her - the large meta seemed to be too distraught by the knowledge that her husband was still possibly alive. Waiting for the video of her own torture and experimentation to be completed or closed out of, she just stared down at the floor, tears easily sliding down her face, "They. I have to know. I have to know if Vic is still alive...he.." she couldn't even finish her words, too distraught to even think now.
---------outside--------
Once outside, Zephyr took a couple long drags from the cigarette, still humming the song before he finally got frustrated enough to shout, "God damnit, will you stop singing that stupid song?! You've been at it more now after we finished that ******** job."
"Hey, if you had a song that reminded you of someone you loved, you'd sing it too." Oblivion snarked back, feeling too aggressive to just shout in the shared mind they had.
Rolling his eyes, Zephyr inhaled a nice lungful of smoke before speaking, "Surprise, ********, I'm Aromantic."
Cordelia just stood there and didn't know what to do. She was looking around like she needed confirmation on how to even feel, too young to understand the weight of it all, only knowing that she was glad she only spent a month in a haven facility before being saved by Baelan. She turned to look at Zaku but felt a hand on her shoulder, a cloaked figure was suddenly standing behind her as Cordelia reached to put her hand on his, tears in her eyes. Baelan said nothing as he stood as comfort to her, only seeming to focus on her alone.
Arno had begun to thrash in her arm as the screaming echoed loud through the house, trying to break free of her grasp. The moment she hit to ground, he pulled himself free only to grab her and pull her close, tightly hugging her head against his chest. He was pissed that something was making her cry, even if he hadn't seen what was in the video. "It's okay.. Nothing can hurt you." he growled through his teeth, only consumed by his deep sense to protect her, not even wanting to mention any of the other stuff. Now wasn't the time for that. He stroked her hair lightly as he rested his head on hers, just squeezing as tight as he could.
Zaku was at a loss for words, as he looked from each person in the room. This had escalated far quicker than he imagined as he took a shaky breath and sat down in a chair. Burying his hand into his hair and resting his elbows on his knees, slumped forward in distress. He had wanted proof of what they did at Haven to further the plan Tri had told him, but not like this. He shook his head, forcing himself to deal with this situation. This was the information they needed, despite its graphic and disturbing nature. Now everyone in the room knew just what they were up against.
Kae stirred suddenly, almost triggered by the screaming followed by silence. Filling the room with her own screams as she grabbed at her still hurt arm.
"s**t.." he ran over to try to stabilize her but she was freaking out too much. "Calm down." He commanded [Inspiring] and began to sing softly to calm her down [Siren's song].
"Get away from me!!" she shouted as she shoved him away, trying to curl up in herself. "Leave me alone!!" she cried out, grimacing she the pain as she tried to curl up as much as possible, obviously still traumatized by the things she had just been through. She was shrieking far too loud to hear Zaku even if he had continued singing.
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 10:18 am
Tri had the pencil poised up in a ready position as roc-Moira mentioned Vic, one of the people on the list with Hexxis. Yet no information followed, only Kae's sudden screams, he assumed Kae since the words he heard almost sounded like her?
Listening coldly he waited for the reaction of the other Renegades. He heard the start of Zaku's song but now only shrieking filled his ears.
He frowned and waited grimacing in pain after a bit and pulled the headphones a further away from his ears. If she just woke up from torture.....well that was a natural reaction.

Taking in a shaky breath, Moira closed her eyes as Arno held her close, something that she quite clearly needed and was something of a weakness of hers. Letting out the breath, slowly, but still shaky, she gripped at the fabric of the others shirt as she started to calm down slightly. Ignoring her grandmothers screaming, she moved to whispered softly to Arno, feeling more than guilty about the fact that she did have feelings about him. "I want to go and save him, if it is him...I... I didn't know he was still alive," she started, trying to choose her words carefully, her mind moving too fast as she tried to figure out what exactly to say, "but I don't..want to push you away.. I don't want to push either of you away... ". Resting her forehead against Arnos chest, she took in another breath before letting it out, "I want the love of both of you...".
------
Finishing up his cigarette, Zephyr peered inside and had quickly noticed that his little friend was now awake. Smiling a little bit, he started to walk around the house, stopping when he saw through the kitchen window. Seeing a shadow, he used the one single use of his shadow step he had managed to get back to appear in the shadow of Kate, appearing roughly behind her. "Ah, hello." Zephyr said simply, smiling down at her.
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 6:49 pm
Kate yelped quietly as a sudden voice was heard in the kitchen with her. She turned suddenly, metal spatula raised and wings flared ready to attack. She then blinked, realizing it was their guest from earlier. "Oh, sorry, hun. Thought you were one of the murder ducklings come into my territory... Almost hurt you something fierce frightening me like that.." her gaze softened into a longing one as she brought the spatula back down and cupped her cheek with her free hand. The fire-haired succubus tilted her head in intrigue as she stood before him wearing an almost doll-like dress with a pristine white apron over the front. She smirked at him, staring into his yellow eyes then her gaze traced along his piercings and scars as she bit her lip with a wider grin. "You're not supposed to be in here..." she hummed playfully.
He sighed, not letting his grip soften for one moment, his eyes narrowing. "...you're weird. But hey, if I get to go tear Haven a new one and eat a bunch people too, well I'm in." By now, he cared way too much to let Moira be this sad. "We'll go lookin for him. Whatya say, beefcake?" he released her enough to look down at her with a toothy grin of reassurance.
Michael immediately darted back into the room with a sense of purpose, a slight ripping sound as he pulled to unroll duct tape. "Moira, hold her down." he commanded, moving to Kae, ready to tape her mouth shut once he could get enough aim from her thrashing about.
"NO!! STOP!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" she screamed, shoving anything that came near her as she continued within the throws of a violent panic attack. She tried to come to a stand, staggering and falling to a kneel as she clutched her bleeding arm as the movement had reopened the wound. She heard the name and forced herself to a stand, whipping around to see Moira, her face pained to see that what Haven had done to her was true. "..moira... i'm so sorry..." she choked out through sobs. A huge wave of guilt and and despair washing over her for everything that had happened.
"Michael! You can't just-.."
"I don't see you coming up with any better solutions, Zaku!"
Cordelia was watching in horror, covering her mouth as she backed up into Baelan and he turned her around into an embrace to shield her. She closed her eyes tight and tried not to cry, too scared for what Haven could really do if any of them were caught.
