The winter air was cold, crisp, and absolutely refreshing to Mikel. He didn't even mind the fact that the temperature could very well freeze him were he stood. Feeling his cheeks cooling down, Mikel relaxed a bit, as he walked down the courtyard, to the entry way gates to meet up with Richard. He thanked the tall man quickly, and sent both of he and the limo driver home for the night, promising to call his mother in the morning once everything has cooled down.
Turning back toward the mansion, Mikel took slow, steady steps across the stone pathway, and up the marble steps, stopping at the door way. It might have been because the boy was so short, but the large double doors loomed over him menacingly, promising him nothing, but overwhelming energy, noise, and unwanted smotherings. Why did I even come? Mikel sighed heavily, savoring these last few moments of peace and quiet. The answer came to him, instantly, Because back home...it's ten times as worse.
Resigning[sp] himself with the fact, that he can never win, Mikel took a deep breath and forced himself back inside the mansion. "Excuse me...., he said softly, trying to get everyone's attention. However, a brand new wave of commotion was going on, and once again Mikel was trapped in the middle of it. Blushing furiously, Mikel vainly tried to get someone, anyone to notice him, "Excuse me...," he said shyly, holding up a brown glass bottle, "I...I have the medicine...? I'm sure Izzy will be fine once she takes this..."
Felix nodded, walking swiftly over to the portal in the hall way. "I'm grabbing my laptop!" she said over her shoulder, toussling[sp] Mikel's hair as she passed by, making the boy turn a rosy shade of pink. As she walked to the portal, she noted that Craig had everything under control, but had also drawn his weapon.Hope there's not another shoot out... she sighed, rolling her eyes as she entered the portal.
Now inside the lab, it only took Felix a few strides to grab her laptop, and insert the heat and lighting commands for the ballroom into her main computer. We definately...do not need another job for Mikel right now... she thought to herself, stepping back into the portal.

James nodded. He was relieved to hear the girl was going to be alright, and he took note of Kyrin's orders, turning to look around for towels. He found them, finally, and ran hot water in the sink, setting the towels underneath the water's spray, obediantly. He cursed himself mentally for taking orders, especially from someone whose name and exact status in their world escaped him at the moment, but he had been looking for some way he could be of use. That and he was pretty much running on survival instinct and bad rest stop coffee. The survival instinct was the more important of the two. He didn't want to be on their bad side, this was, after all, their territory. He went to find Kyrin and let her know that the task he had been set to was finished, and to ask if there was anything else he could to to be of assistance. Mindless following could, he found, actually be mildly therapeutic.

Craig was taken back by the man, who’d been reduced to tears at his feet. Realizing immediately that the man wasn’t bluffing, he lowered his gun, though he did not store it away. “You do not understand.” He said low tone, “I cannot let you see her.” He almost felt sorry for the man, almost, “Your friend is the cause of all of this, and seeing as you and him are associated, you are also the cause. Or, this is the way that Ky and Felix see it.”

Draven look up a Craig, his eyes red with tears, “I never meant for any of this to happen”, his voice was still cracking with the raw emotion he was experiencing, “I was just trying to find a place to get out of the cold…” he slowly stood and looked behind him to where the commotion died down slightly, “can you at least tell the girl, I’m sorry”, he walked past Craig after that and put a cold hand on Daren’s shoulder, “we’ll live”, he said, making the best effort to smile.

Kyrin looked at Mikel holding the bottle and said, “Give that to her then. I am going to clean her up a bit.” Noticing that the new guy had finished his task her made her way to the sink. Wringing the first towel out she went back to Izzy. She gently began to wipe up the blood. Kyrin shushed Izzy when she would go near a tender area and told Izzy that she was going to be just fine.
It wasn’t long before, the once white cloth, had turned a deep red. Bringing the towel back to the sink, Ky switched it for the other one. She left the used one under the water to rinse it as she returned to getting Izzy cleaned up. Kyrin did her best; the only thing she need now was a change of clothing for Izzy. Come on Felix, She thought, Hurry.

Craig looked at the two men in the room, and made his way back to lean against the door frame. He pocketed his gun and ran a hand through his blonde hair. Sighing, he wished he could to tell Izzy a lot of things at that moment, though ‘sorry’ wasn’t one of them. He wanted to see her, but he knew what he’d be in for if he left the captives alone in Kyrin’s mansion. Responding to Draven, Craig said, “When things calm down, we’ll see what happens.” He didn’t really care to tell Izzy that the men that were the cause of her current pain were sorry; he wanted her to forget about it. It wasn’t the kind of thing that Izzy had an easy time dealing with.

With the help of Kyrin's soothing words and constant presence, Izzy was slowly beginning to calm down, her sobs fading into hiccups that she found made whatever was hurting hurt more.
Eyes closed, she only whined when Kyrin washed an area she didnt want anyone touching. Other than that, she was too tired to do anything else. She took the medicine that Mikel gave her, foul tasting as it was, without complaint.
As the pain started to fade away, Izzy turned to Kyrin and asked softly, as if all that had happened hadnt, "Can I have hot chocolate...? With marshmallows...?"

The scream had brought Daren from the half doze he was in but he hadn't bothered to get up. Despite the fact that he wanted to check on the girl that he had shot he knew they wouldn't let him no matter what he asked or said. Feeling the hand on his shoulder he looked up at Daren, the lusterous shine in his eyes gone for now he said, "I know. But that's not what I'm concerned about, it's the girl a few rooms away that's lying on a table probably sobbing now that the screaming has stopped", his tone was flat and emotionless as he sat there, looking forwards, seemingly lost in a torrent of thoughts.
Damn it! why'd she have to move! Even though her kicking me is what caused me to pull the trigger by flinching it's no excuse. I still shot her, it's still my fault. And I didn't even want to shoot her. Damn I never should have pulled my gun, I wouldn't have had any trouble disarming or disabling her from behind so why didn't I?
Shaking his head he just wished that he hadn't pulled his gun, had decided to take a different course of action. Taking her gun from her, pining her arms across her chest and lifting her off the ground. Anything would have changed the outcome immeasurably(sp?). If only he could have done it different.

Coming back again, with another clean cloth, Kyrin smiled at Izzy, “Yes.” She wiped the new cloth over Izzy’s face, “With lots and lots of tiny marshmallows.” Glad that Izzy had calmed, Kyrin was able to pass through her panicked state from before. Holding Izzy’s hand for a moment, she said, “Felix is taking too long, I am going to get you a change of clothes, okay?”

Izzy gripped Kyrin's hand tightly, a look of slight anxiousness settling in her eyes as she quickly offered, "I can come too..." Truth be told, Izzy just didn't feel like parting with Kyrin. She wasn't sure why but she just really didn't want Kyrin to leave her.
Almost as if to prove that she was perfectly capable of going along, Izzy began to sit up, mumbling stubbornly, "Just fine..." Even as she said it though, she felt the room spin around her, making her pause to catch her bearings.

Kyrin’s reflexes went off instantly. As Izzy tried to sit up, she gently push her back down. “No.” She said, taking on a commanding tone, “You are going to lie down and lie still.” Noticing the way she’s spoken to Izzy, she pulled a chair from the table sat down, stroking Izzy’s hair, “I’m sorry,” She said softly, “I will stay with you, there’s no hurry anymore, huh Izzy?” She smiled at her friend. Kissing her softly on the forehead she sat back in the chair with a sigh.
Looking down at her shirt, Kyrin noticed the blood. Sighing again she began to feel it against her skin. It was uncomfortable, especially knowing that it was Izzy’s. This realization brought her two captives back to mind. She couldn’t deal with them until Izzy was asleep; Kyrin hoped that would be soon, as Izzy could use some rest.

Izzy let herself be pushed back down, not feeling up to arguing now. The medicine was beginning to make her drowsy and she really just wanted to take a nap now. Eyes beginning to droop, Izzy slurred slightly, "Wanna sleep..." as she nuzzled against Kyrin's hand.

Draven was slowly beginning to feel his limbs again, although he still had a pounding headache, things were starting to clear up. His joints stopped creaking and with that the keen killer instincts began to slowly raise from it’s weakened slumber. Draven gave a curt nod to his friend and grabbed his guns and knife, feeling quite unsafe without them at this current time. He then moved towards Craig, his calm façade rolling a once panicked face, “Kind sir, would you please grab your leader”, Draven said, his optimistic side finally breaking the sadden surface.

James stood in the doorway. He wasn't certain if there was anything he could do, but he didn't like standing there feeling useless. He felt as though there should be something that he could do, but watching the girl talk to the wounded one, it seemed as though everything would be alright. He could hear the formerly naked man talking to the attractive one, but words to him were indiscernable. He stepped forward, into the room with the wounded girl. "Is there anything else I could do to be of any help?" He asked, timidly.

Kyrin glanced up at James and looked him over, he reminded her of someone, but she couldn’t really place his face. Thinking over it, she really needed to make him a captive too. “Go get Craig,” She told him, standing, “He’s likely the only fully clothed one down that hallway,” She said, pointing. “I would advise you not to go anywhere else though.”
