Again his eyes traveled upward in thought when a smile spread across his face. "How about I show you something, you might like it" he said as he sat up. "It's something I learned awhile ago. There's a certain sequence of sounds that I can use to put anyone into a dream like state. With a little bit of your help I can make it seem like your anywhere you'd want to be." his eyes showing how eager he obviously was to show her.

[[Grey- If it's with me feel free to change it and I'll re respond. If it's with Crazy she probably won't notice till its to late and or won't mind. If its someone else I don't know what to say. . . .]]

Her eyes widened a bit as she looked at him, "Honestly? That's amazing! How does it work?" Thinking it over quickly she couldn't see much risk with doing it and if she could never see her home again being able to dream about it would be wonderful of course to him it would sound like a fantasy land but what did it matter. Lying her head on her arms she looked at him sideways with eager eyes waiting for him to give instructions on how it worked.

Marcus was excited to demonstrate a bit of his abilities. "Ok, all that you need to do is lock a image of where you want to go in your mind, the more detailed the better. After that, just leave everything to me. Let me know when your ready..." Marcus now propped himself up on his knees in preparation, waiting for her to ready herself.

It was easy for Akido to picture the solid marble castle of her home set deep within a forest of trees that had never been seen within the human realm. Orbs of purple and blue light lit a path that led away into the near darkness where the moon shown down in a waning crescent. Few people could be seen in the distance with a glow to their skin and tri colored eyes as a herd of deer ran through the trees being pursed easily by the fleet footed hunters. Picturing the lake that was outback the water was clear and calm reflecting the moon and the surrounding trees. Smiling to him, "I am ready" she said already in a dreamy tone. her home did that to her.

Marcus closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. He let out a low hum and strange pulses erupting about every other second. The tone was so low however, that any normal person wouldn't be able to hear it. Marcus was changing and adjusting the tune, trying to find the correct sound for the desired effect. Marcus was a bit confused, he normally didn't have to work this hard for this illusion.
A bit frustrated, Marcus took yet another breathe, this time the tone and pulse much louder. Seeing that even this wasn't enough, Marcus reached out and touched his hand to Akido's temple. The vibrations channeling through his arm and into Akido's head. Finally, Marcus tuned in correctly and the illusion began.
As if someone had turned on a television, the world around Akido disappeared and a new one appeared, exactly resembling her home. In reality Akido looked as if she was asleep. But for her, she was back home.

Almost moving away when he touched her Akido forced herself to remain still and was well rewarded as her home came into focus. Looking back on it in this dream like state made her realize just how much she missed the place. Letting it change in her state she walked along the lit path toward the marble archway into the courtyard. Flowers and plants adorned the place in beautiful mixes the far walls were over grown with a type of vine that held lily looking flowers except they held the same shimmer of magic that lit the path. Letting it take its own way she saw the faces of her friends traveling down and that brought tears to her eyes as she realized just how badly she missed them. If only Marcus could see this she could show him the trails and paths. Thinking back on an old memory from when she was a child, she watched the younger version of herself fly past on new wings bumbling through the air being caught by her father before turning away to wander the woods. To anyone this would be a dramatic fantasy world, to her, it was her home and she would give anything to have it back.

Marcus kept his eyes open, watching Akido carefully to make sure her dream didn't turn to a nightmare. He had to be careful when taking another breath to quickly create the correct note so that the illusion held. But when Marcus saw a tear run down Akido's face, he debated ending the illusion. But he saw that it wasn't a tear meaning distress. While keeping the tone, he inched over to her and grasped her hand to help comfort her. Deciding he could do more to comfort her, he began to sing the first song that came to mind, he sung in a way that would make it into her dream, but was still able to hold the illusion. As he sung, he created the instruments sounds as well to complete the song.
((Lets just say the song is Weak and Powerless by A Perfect Circle))

Letting her dream shift again to the courts she watched her life drift by with a lazy ease the look on her face almost scared her. She knew she had complete control over her emotion and she knew that she had killed before but seeing that lifeless gaze looking across to the man bound to the floor made her wonder just how detached had her people become. Could she go back to that. Even now the answer was still yes. If only her cousin would die. There was one way to negate his claim on the throne that didn't involve killing him and she wasn't ready to go there yet. Intertwining her fingers with Marcus' on a subconscious level she smiled at the music. It was a song she knew and she smiled lopsidedly as it played while she walked across the surface of the lake using her wings to keep from falling through as she quietly sang along,
"Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace and some peace of mind"

Marcus almost lost the tone when her hand grasped his, his heart began to pound again. He also began to feel the effects of using his powers too long, his head felt like it was getting hot and his head started to hurt a bit. Marcus could see the obvious look of contentment on Akido's face, so he would hold it as long as he could.

Watching as her dream shifted against her will she saw her cousin walking toward the chair where she sat. She remembered this day. It was the ultimatum where he made her choose between the throne and those she loved and tears threatened to start once again. Squeezing his hand she wanted out she wanted to see someone real and solid that she could hold onto. Anyone but her cousin approaching her with the words that ruined her life. "Marcus?" she asked tentatively stopping her singing.

Marcus could see the dream taking a turn for the worse, her face said it all. Marcus released the note, instantly ending the illusion. It seemed good timing for them both being that Marcus was growing dizzy and nearing unconsciousness. Still holding Akido's hand, Marcus lowered his face to Akido's, "I'm here... You ok?" there was obviously worry in his voice..

((Room move about cause of cleaning up.))
((Grey you can just kinda walk away right?))
Lucas smiled and held out a hand for the man to shake, "You don't have to worry, I'm human." He gave a reassuring smile and signalled his wife to come over.
Lisa nodded and searched for Cole, "I can go get him hang on." She walked out the door and walked directly to Cole, "Your father would like to see you in my office." She turned to walk back to her office, a cold facade was about her and when she got back to her office she walked past the two men and into their bedroom where she took a long hot shower.
"My wife is the mutant owner around here. She's having a bad day cause our daughter and herself got in a fight. Please sit." He motioned to the table and sat in the huge leather chair behind it.
Luna turned to Cole, "If you go to see him I'm coming with. I can turn into some deadly stuff ya know."

She shook her head but responded with a quiet yes before saying "Thank you." Though they turned bad it was the first glimpse of home she had seen in twenty years and while she longed for it, she was thankful to have been able. Using her healing power though he wasn't hurt it would act as an energy burst, it was the only way to think of to thank him as she rested her head on his shoulder to gather her thoughts and get a grip on the world she was in. One side effect of her power burst despite giving him energy was it would heal minor disfigurements since it was only a small amount of energy any pale scar he had would fade a bit. And all of a sudden, staying here a long time didn't seem such a good idea. She took this form to get away from people not make friends.
