Paige made a strange sound as she got as close to Delilah as she could, not wanting to be frightened any further, but that was an issue as they were still rather close to the strange figure. Though when he mentioned Haven, she slowly looked up to Delilah and started to sign slowly, her hands shaking every so often.

"Oh, we both know why I quit" She spoke back up in a fit of anger. Honestly she had three things she wanted to do. Stir a certain honeypot, kick down a door nearby, and punch Zaku. She couldn't do the first because she was busy acting dramatic and honestly she didn't need to make enemies too soon. The second... well that would be fun. And the last thing... ngh... honestly it didn't really seem all that worth it.
You know what, she was going to smackdown Zaku with some knowledge. Stopping in her tracks in the hallway and turning back to face him.
"Alright, lets talk about your 'Elite' team shall we. There's you, who's about as harmless as they come. Andy ran off. Rhun went off to pursue better things and Kira is dead."
"Wow, we're already off to a great start," She highlighted sarcastically, "Then we have Lucian, who as we both know I had to save from the grips of SIU. Cordelia, who seems to be more interested in helping you make torture porn. And finally Kate, who's having an emotional breakdown right now."
"But hey what the hell do I know? Working by myself in the shadows. I have jeez of all the people who could show their face around who would've guessed it was me?"
She stopped for a bit, a grin on her face as she continued to do her best to intimidate Zaku. Did she have little say here? Really?
"My brother aside, if I wanted to rule with such an iron fist I'd have turned you all into my puppets and made you do my bidding. But one, I'm not capable of doing that to all of you. Two, all of you would likely resist. And three you guys having free will would probably be a lot better than some dumb dolls following my word. But if you rather like to be successful, maybe we should start thinking about changing our ways from being a porn company and acting like the damn terror organisation this is supposed to be."

"And I'm going to disappoint you once more, my darling child...." Karitzu took a swift movement around the room, grabbing Kae, Delilah, and Paige, and disappeared in a flutter of bed-sheets and dust.
Michael sighed, pushing his glasses up, his head down. He knew he was going to hear hell from Kate, but he always did when she was upset. "Kate..." He moved forward to comfort her. He hoped she wasn't mad enough to smack him. He really didn't want to get hit in the face. He was going to miss Delilah and Paige, but it was better for them to not be in the trenches of this warfare.

Zaku leaned back very slightly as he folded his arms and couldn't help but smile. "From what I heard, you killed a bunch of people and threw a fit when your teammates didn't like you. But what do I know, right?" He almost seemed amused in his own light-heartedness as he watched her carefully, looking for her true intent somewhere. Even if there was any kind of ulterior motive besides just causing conflict and being creepy.
His smirk only widened as she started in on his elite team. He was harmless, and that alone made him want to laugh but he held back. Andy had been taken from them and was still sorting out the aftermath.. who knew if she'd come back after all that. Rhun went... Wait, Rhun? He blinked with curiosity and intrigue and then snorted, letting forth the laugh. In fact, he laughed so hard he didn't even hear the rest of her sentence. "Rhun? The headmaster of Sanctuary?? Hahaha. That's the funniest thing I've heard all day." he placed a hand to his mouth, trying to stifle the hilarity behind clenched teeth and a restrained smile. He seemed to ignore the rest. It was pointless. Yoko's nitpicking got them nowhere.
She continued on with a passive threat, a flex of power to say she could control them all but she had reasons why she didn't. Yoko focused in on porn again and he exhale a quick chuckle, "You seem really focused on pornography... are you frustrated, Yoko? Because, besides Kate, no one is going to be interested in sleeping with you here.." he joked. Then smiled and sighed, "Look, I think you have the wrong idea about the renegades... yet again. We are not a terror organization. You want to be a terror group and kill people without remorse, then go join Haven. We are fighters, yes. But we are here to spread a word of unity, integration, and rights for Metakind. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can control us or whatever it is you came here to do. You want power and control, but yet you are just waving around a big stick hoping someone will follow you... If I had been you.. in the way that you seemed to be, I would have at least held out a little longer trying to play nice until you had more trust on your side before trying to throw your weight around. Instead, you just make demands and talk about being more when no one is listening." he spoke calmly, seriously as he seemed to almost pity the situation. He wanted to try to reach out to Yoko, even if it was slim chance she would ever listen to him. "How about you show some real strength and try to at least make friends with some of us. Use teamwork to get your tasks done. Maybe then you could convince any of us to be this terror organization you've envisioned. Worst thing that could happen is we don't see eye to eye and you leave the situation knowing you at least have a friend."
-----------------------------------
She narrowed her teary eyes angrily at him. She didn't even move as he fluttered and was gone in a flash.. just like he did when they were kids. Her fists clenched at her sides, knuckles white. She was silent for a few moments until Michael spoke and she flinched only slightly. As he stepped forward, she took a step back. "Don't." she hissed forcefully. "You knew he was coming.." she started, choking back on the lump in her throat and looked at him with fierce eyes, red with anger. "You knew... and you weren't even going to tell me!!" she clenched her teeth, fighting back the urge to attack him right out. "Don't... I don't want to hear anything you have to say right now..." she exhaled, slowly unclenching her fists and turned on her heel to leave the room, slamming the door as she left and walked off down the hallway, fading out of existence as she walked. [Unassuming presence].
Delilah held Paige close, trying not to cry as she did her best to comfort her. "..j-just close y-your eyes... I w-will never l-let haven t-take you f-from me... I p-promise...I will k-keep you s-safe..." she whispered directly to her as she took deep slow breaths to calm the child as they teleported away.

"Well of course I would throw a fit, or more accurate b***h about it. We had a job, I did it in the most convenient manner I saw fit and the others think I went too far," Honestly how hard was it to wrap your damn head around that. Though his laughter didn't amuse her. Her eyes narrowing, letting him finish the rest of his statement.
"It seems like you misunderstand me," She responded, "If I wanted to jerk off I'd just have a puppet help me with it. You see, I'm hear because I want rights and unity and all that other junk for us. But the issue is, being nice and generous while also stirring up s**t gets us nowhere. Why are you going to feed a dog who you know will just bite your hand?"
"If I could get things done on my own I would've already gotten it accomplished. But right now they don't fear us even though they know about the power we hold. So we make them fear us. We make demand and we become our own nation. It will take time, it will be bloody, and it will be awful. But we will have a place to call home and we will get on the table. And then after that unity, peace, and tranquility and all that jazz can happen."
"Otherwise I'll just go on my merry way and take Lucian with me. Maybe convince a few others about how lackluster your leadership has been. Treading water isn't very good," She could only give a very smug look on her face right now. Hoping the threat of tearing the renegades apart from the inside would be enough.

Michael rubbed the bridge of his nose, looking down at the floor. He was the only one in the room now. That was normal, but he never had Kate so angry with him. He took in a deep breath and sighed, slowly making his way back out to the main meeting room. "Are we quite finished, or is Yoko here not done telling us how much she doesn't approve and the like?" It was obvious his attitude had changed, for better or for worse. "Because , yes, if I had it my way, there would be a bloody revolution. But, how many more lives would it take before anything was solved....another great war? I don't see that working well for anyone. " he folded his hands behind his back and moved to a coffee maker in the room, and turned it on. He leaned on the table it was against and just stared. "I agree that our passive methods aren't doing well, but we've become a bit more aggressive lately, and I think the waves were good. "

Zaku shook his head, running a hand through his hair in a bit of exasperation, this was not exactly getting anywhere. "You feed that dog because it comes to rely on the repeated generosity of the owner. Even if that dog bites, you show it kindness. Consider if that same owner suddenly stops feeding that dog. It knows nothing else, it depends on that food. Eventually it will beg for that same kind interaction. You withhold what you want and you control that situation like hell. Now it strengths that bond, now instead of biting you, you send it after others and out of protection it bites others. Now you have a well fed attack dog. Is that what you want to hear from me? Some kind of bitter and conniving part of me that wants the same cynicism as you do?" his eyes narrowed defensively. "I'm nice because I want to be, not because I have to be. If you don't like that, you are in the wrong place to be barking about power and fear." his voice was stern as he had just about enough of Yoko by now. "You want your own nation, Belosh already did that. So don't lie to my face like this. I don't believe for one god damn second that you want unity and peace and rights. You want an excuse to fight and cause more bloodshed and flex some kind of power trip you've lacked for far too long for your ego to let slide."
"You can go ahead on your merry way... without Lucian. He may be afraid of you, but he's the only one. Now, I think you're a fairly sensible girl, maybe you could realize you're a bit outnumbered here, so let's drop all these talks of how I'm running the renegades and you steady your hand on the wheel of your own life, because I can see your drifting out of your own lane. I suggest you take it easy, reconnect with your siblings, take some time to rest from your weary travels. And when you're all good and ready to go. Either you can play nice and make some friends or you can kindly get the ******** out." he spoke softly, forcing a smile on his face before he sighed then walked back to the living room, following Michael and waited for coffee to be ready along with Michael, a look of slight irritation on his face as he simply was too tired to deal with all this right now.

And her smug look quickly faded away. Now she was getting talked to by two misguided assholes. Her face appearing more and more displeased with Zaku's words, trying not to take those words about the dog as if they were meant for her.
"Fine, I get it. I'm a b***h." She threw up a middle finger. Follow by another, then a third and finally...
A single puppet string aimed for Lucian, "We're going," Her words echoing with Lucian more than they should have, "Y'know I was going to try to be productive. Focus my energy in a beneficial way. But ******** this pile of flaming garbage that only gets my siblings locked in prisons to be tortured,"
And now she was walking away with her company hopefully in tow, "I mean honestly, why the ******** do they even exist still if they aren't doing anything productive. Useless, useless, useless,"

Michael pushed up his glasses, listening to the movements and watching Yoko very clearly. He'd been brushed up that she was a puppet-master, so he'd be sure not to leave his eyes off of her if she was going to be aggressive. That's when he saw it...the single string.
"Tch..." Michael lifted a hand, pushing the string off course with his Velocity Manipulation and shook his head. "Really...Unless you want to be wrapped up with your own strings, I suggest you follow either directions. Leave, or rest. You are free to do either. And without Lucien. " Michael let out an angry sigh, standing up straight, his attention fully focused on Yoko.

Lucian flinched at the mention of him going with Yoko. "....please don't.." he whimpered, taking a step back, looking away as was trying not to freak out right there about it.
Zaku poured a cup of coffee for Michael and then for himself, his demeanor calm as he didn't even bother to put sugar or cream into it. Turning to set gaze on Yoko, he took a sip of the fresh coffee then sighed. "You really have trouble with listening, don't you.. Honestly, I hate to play dirty, but if you don't leave Lucian alone, I'm afraid I'll have to make your sister aware of just how you've treated Lucian in the past and just how you are treating him now. I'm sure she'd be absolutely thrilled about that." he took another sip then moved over to Lucian to place a hand on his shoulder for reassurance. "Don't you worry, love. We'll take good care of your brother here... so no need to continue being the concerned sister." he commented lightly.

And her string was diverted and things seemed to falling faster than she had ever expected it to be. She failed in trying to stir up Zaku in the way she wanted and she was about to lose Lucian. Nevermind Michael was getting in the way.
This was bad for her, she kind of needed a group of like minded individuals to succeed in what she wanted and this was the closest thing to it. Nevermind there wasn't another group of Metas just about ready to do the things necessary to succeed. So for now, she turned around and began storming off, screaming a response to Zaku to get her final say.
"Oh, tell my poor tortured sister who is ******** around that I saved my brother who was also about to be tortured. Good luck getting him locked up again!"
And with that she brought up a puppet made up in Zaku's likeness from the ground. Kicking it to pieces as she turned into an empty room. She wasn't done with this place yet, not until she had Lucian again.
