Welcome to Gaia! ::

Catching the smallest words of his muttering she looked back at him, the smile wiped off her face. She sighed and shook her head. I've gone and said something I shouldnt of again didnt I... She thought, punishing herself in her mind. She stepped close to him and swung one arm around him pulling him into a soft hug, mainly because she didnt really know if he would try to attack her after such a thing, and because of her wounds she didnt want to make it hurt even worse. "I didnt mean it like that, if I didnt worry then I wouldnt have asked at all."

She raised an eyebrow at his comment. "Sweet" ...First time hearing the word directed towards herself since her childhood, back in the good ol' days when she still had no idea she had powers at all.

She shrugged it off and smiled back, but only a little. "Dont worry about it, I'll be just fine...if worst comes to worse I'll just heal myself little by little until I'm all good again. Though.." She looked at herself. "Your work is probably better then anything I could do...if it werent for you, I'd probably be laying there on the ground starting to rot away with the tower." She sighed and shrugged.

((Sorry. Erik doesn't let people die.))

Erik had woken up after a few minutes, feeling refreshed. Erik walked over to Tragedy, summoning his power. Without speaking anything, the wounds Tragedy had suffered started to heal. It wasn't enough to fully heal her, but it was enough to help her avoid death. Erik walked over to a place he could rest in peace. He had been awoken by a desire to heal Tragedy, although Erik did not know why. There was something in him that drove him to keep her safe.

Okiku got out of her car, shoes in one hand and briefcase in the other. Stupid men, if she didn't have an identity to worry abut she'd ruin him as completely as she knew how. As it was he was going to end up stabbing himself. Bad luck and all that.

But when she got to her temporary home, her teeth were grinding and her fists were clenched and she was ready to pull out her hair.

How unlucky that his fish were going to end up on a plate!

Fatigue was still trying to claim Erik, but through sheer force of will, he managed to stay awake. Erik kept expecting Krious to launch an attack against Titan Tower, considering that the Titans were now forging along at severely reduced strength. But, there was nothing along the water. No ships on the river, no planes or helicopters in the air. Perhaps Kikyo's barrier was still holding. Erik sat down on one of the few chairs there were and fell asleep.

((Should I throw Krious into the mix now or will that be overkill?))

Kogi headed into a backroom. On the floor was a sleeping mat. He headed over too a sliding door. He slid it open. inside was a small shrine. Two Clay pots that had been tapped shut sat next too one another. A candle sat next too each pot. Leaning against each pot was a picture, one of a man who looked identical too kogi, the other a slender, long haired, lady. Kogi took a box of matches and lit the candles. Mummbling a prayer in japanese. He then shook out the match then folded his hands togeather too pray for his mother and father's peaceful rest.

Krious was sitting back and listening to his Generals talk tactics. It didn't matter how long they took, because all of a sudden, Krious had a 200 mile wide window of opportunity to get rid of the Titans, and then target and eliminate Erik. "Oh, yes, Sir? May i speak to you for a moment?" Krious nodded. "We have an idea: We could possibly lure the Titans out using one of the local villains as a ploy, ambushing them when they least expect it. There are plenty of them, we do not even have to seek them out. All we must is keep a close eye on the city, and wait for the Titans to appear." Krious considered this for a moment. "I will go alone." the Hellspawn around gasped. "But, Sir.." Krious raised his hand, signaling silence from all around. "These Titans are less then pathetic. Our old enemies, the PAU, could beat them while bound and gagged. All they have going for them is Erik, and he will fall to my blade. It is fate."
