He suddenly hugged her and her heart fluttered, beating hard in her chest. She then relaxed, sliding her hands up to hug him. The warmth of his embrace was nice, and she welcomed it gladly. She barely remembered him, but he was right, it was a miracle that she at least remembered him. In truth, the fact that he was the only thing she had remembered only further solidified the idea that they had truly been in love. She smiled gently, almost reluctant to let go.

As he spoke of Mara and how she wouldn't like it, her smiled faded for a moment. She was about to agree with him when she was suddenly picked up into his arms, as she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck to stabilize herself, a sharp inhale of surprise as it set in what was about to happen. He was really going to take her outside. The smile came back twice as wide, a hint of delighted mischief as she began to laugh, resting her head against his chest as he began to move out into the hallway. A glimmer of defiance surfaced within her as the idea of sorta sneaking out like this was a new and exciting adventure.

Kage moved quickly, but carefully. His power flexed outward as they approached a door and it swung open for them. He didn't bother closing it behind them although it did anyways the lock snapping into place. He pressed his senses out listening for the guards that wandered the compound taking extra care to avoid the ones that would normally keep him from going somewhere he wasn't supposed to be. A sense of excitement filled him as they sneaked through the compound. He was right, Mara would likely be pissed but the smile that Andy had now made the risk of trouble worth it. This felt right and as long as he did what he thought was right he could deal with the consequences later.

Nearing the exit he tried to think of how to get by the guards unseen. Unable to think of anything else he simply strolled up to them carrying Andy. "Hey there. I just need to take Andy outside for some fresh air." His power fluctuated as he pressed it to it's upward limits. He spoke the next part carefully a slight inflection in his words as he spoke the last bit. "If you could do me a huge favor. Just pretend to forget that you saw us." (Erase) He moved past them outside as the power took effect, but to Andy it would look like they just stood there helping Kage out like he asked.

Kage laughed at her request, he couldn't help it. Hard to trust her, not it was extremely easy, he was confident in his own abilities and when he had unlocked the collar it had been turned off. Slipping it back on had made Mara feel better, but he hadn't bothered turning it back on. He sat there laughing for a moment before whispering into her ear. "Just give it a tug, no one ever locked it or turned it back on."

An excited smile grew wide on her face as he told her it hadn't been locked. She pulled at the collar as it easily came off and she handed it to Kylar. Looking around for a moment, she spotted a clearing not to far from them. Perfect. "This way." she grabbed his hand and led him to the edge of the clearing and turned to him for a moment with a bright look on her face. Okay... stay right here..." she instructed, as she let go of his hand and moved into the middle of the clearing. Turning back toward him, she bit her lip in anticipation. "Okay, here it is!" she called out to him.

She inhaled deeply and let out a long controlled breath, closing her eyes and focusing in deep concentration. She folded her arms around herself as she outstretched her wings a bit. The wind around her began to kick up lightly and small arches of electricity and sparks danced over her skin here and there. Andy built up the electricity in her body and forced the electromagnetism outward to charge the particles in the air surrounding her. She almost seemed to be starting to glow and bigger arches of electricity flickered over her body. After a few moment, the wind was whipping up harder now, she then leaned to one side, ducking lightly as she extended her wings fully and swung her arm upward and over her, her body moving along as well, as the sky lit up into a glow and a rippling cutain of colors danced into the sky across the whole clearing, stretching out toward the compound. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes on the exhale. Her eyes bright and happy as they reflected the glimmers of light she had created across the sky. shooting rays of pale yellow that faded in and out of red and purple hues. She pried her eyes down from the view above to look at Kylar. Laughing jovially as she half collapsed, laying on the ground in the grass, still laughing as she looked up at the show she had created with every bit of power she could muster. This is what she wanted to show him. That despite the idea she might have been a danger to others, she wasn't. She could just as easily create beautiful things rather than hurt others even if it might have been an accident, which she had become sure that it wasn't. She inhaled, trying to catch her breath from laughing so hard as she grinned brightly at the stars that glimmered behind the waves of rainbow aura. She didn't have to be scary with her powers, she could just be Andy.

He came a laid down next to her, her breath was heavy as she was trying to calm her overjoyed laughter. She moved her hand to interlock with his as they stared up at the sky, a soft smile on her face. Their beauty dwarfed only by your own. There it was again, a flutter in her chest as her heartbeat increased and a flush of color surfacing her face. She looked at him this time instead of looking away. Her gaze was steady and she half closed her eyes, leaning toward him, almost as though she might in fact kiss him. Only a slight hesitation as her heart threatened to beat right out of her chest. She felt so safe being with him, she was so glad that she remembered him, and that he was there when she woke up. Her lips only inches from his, she let out a shaky exhale, "Kylar.. I.." she hesitated again as she stared into his eyes.

The clank of armored boots sounded through the hallway. Four people in prototype armor split off as the one in black armor headed toward the door leading toward where they assumed was the middle of the electric storm outside. The armor could handle electricity up to a point but it wasn't a very high one.

Pretty as it was, it was also a warning that SOMEONE was without a collar...and a quick check and the voices of some confused guards as she was putting on her armor pretty much gave her a -very- good guess what had happened.

"Deep breath" she muttered to herself, alone now as she waited for confirmation from the other three. #Ready#x4. #Okay. Go! # She opened the door and took less than a second to process what she saw before she raised her gun and headed toward them. "Kage and Andy you freaking Bastards. Andy you have 3 seconds to put that collar back on -NOW- " she ordered deadly serious, as the other three people in her unit appears. Two were on the wall the third one was coming out of a door opposite Kage and Andy all of them had their weapon trained on Kage and Andy.

For the first time since he had awoken without any memory, Kage felt true happyness. He found something he didn't even know he was missing within Andy. The sensations grew, something better than he even thought possible as she returned the affections. That moment could have lasted forever, it should have lasted. A voice broke it all to soon however and Andy was appologizing to him. He didn't understand it, she had made him happy for the first time and because of the voice she was regretting it.

Kage rolled over, his eyes on the ground as he alowly rose to his feet. Hands shook with anger as he realized what was going on. Something snapped... A feeling of dread filled the clearing as the seal on his own powers gave way. Unlike the time with Ree the seal was slammed fully open. The sensation came with another change. The tattoos covering his body began to crawl across his flesh. The result left his skin a writhing mass of shadows. He finished standing as he looked towards Mara. She was in her power armor, gun raised but he didn't care.

Kage bound towards Mara the shadows pulsating with every heavy enraged breath. His voice came out a shout as he approached, "GOD D*MNIT, MARA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TRYING TO TERRIFY HER!?" His concern wasn't for himself, but for Andy as he shouted at the woman holding the gun. He didn't seem to care if he was shot as he closed the distance between them as quickly as his feet would allow. "PUT AWAY THE F**KING GUNS!

She had quietly surrended when suddenly a wave of horrible dread filled up in the pit of her stomach as her eyes snapped open and moved to fall on Kylar suddenly as he began to shout at Mara. She was almost too scared to move as Kylar began to move forward at Mara. "Wait! K-kylar!" she managed to force out through a panic that was fully setting in.

"s**t.. really??" her voice was low as she shifted like she was going to move in, but then a figure appeared. Was that-.....??? No,.. angel wings. She sighed slightly with relief though kept her face focused on what was transpiring.

Pushing through her fear, she took a few steps forward cautiously, trying not to make sudden movements as she tried to reach Kylar. "Kylar... please..... please stop..." her voice was pained. She suddenly stopped when someone else suddenly showed up, too scared to back up or move at all now.

Zira kept clinging to shadows, ready to intervene if necessary, and at one point, thought she might have to. But now there was a new person. She mentally relayed back all the information back to Kae. Her eyes barely visible from the distant shadows as she narrowed her vision to see what would happen next.
