Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adrian laughed heartily, clenching his eyes shut and holding his fists to his mouth in glee. "Who's tha pet now you posh clagger!?" He guffawed, leaning against the wall in more of a tumble then a leaning action. He grinned widely, his cheeks started to hurt with the effort, the novelty wore off and he coughed slightly. "While I'm here is there anything ye want me tae do?" He asked, still suppressing snickering. "Like, any assignments? Any places to go, people to talk to, spying, hunting?" He was trying to conceal the fact he was incredibly credibly bored, he needed to slice something, chop something, at least TAUNT something.

"Aye aye, sir" He said, grinningat the thought of some fighting after all this time, and he meant real fighting, not that pricking about on the roof he had engaged in with Leo a couple of days ago. He turned on his communicator and walked out of the room, practically blazing hellfire and determination. He didn't think twice about the fact that he will probably be renounced as a traitor by the Hunters, hunted down and thrown into a river of lava, it was blue skies and killing sprees from here on in. Well, apart from the fact he was going to have to kill at night and a spree was a big word, more like... killing spasm... What was he thinking about?

“You are going nowhere miss” Alasdair replied while he still faces Luther. He smiled and snapped his fingers. As soon as he did, two heavily armed guards appeared before the door, both holding shotguns and in full body armor. They were looking forwards and shutting all access to the outside. The appeared using Alasdair’s void, and would attack if Alasdair gave even the slightest order. These men were trained for battle, urban warfare was their specialty.

“You think you can just waltz out of here after this?”Alasdair replied as he slowly turned to face her, crossing his arms slowly, as his Violet eyes wandered through the girl’s body. Alasdair was debating whether or not to take the girl by force or just reason with her. Alasdair wanted to know why she was the man’s companion.

Luther closed his eyes, and smiled. "Alasdair, you may make me your pet and use all sorts of twisted mind games on me but right now Cosette is critical to my research and I'd prefer it if she didn't wear a collar, that would mean she would be able to subtely lure people to my lab instead of having to rely on Force all of the time, I also promised her something; I may be a cunning and cruel b*****d but I keep my promises, no matter what the costs to me. I however will accept this Collar, but promise me that you won't use it unless I am displaying absolute certain signs that I am going to rebel against you. If you disagree, whilst I was talking I managed to make a small portal just above Cosette; if you disagree to letting Cosette be free without a collar then I will simply drop the Portal onto her and she will be gone free to spill all of your secrets, and I wouldn't recommend trying to kill me because then the tendrils of Void I rigged up would seize you and your guards; albeit for a short amount of time." He took a deep breath, and took the collar, still holding the ball of Void above Cosette's head. "It's your choice Alasdair, have her working under me and there'll be no chance of her becoming a nuisance to you, however if you opt to take her by force then the intricate plan I have constructed will start to take place." He winked at Alasdair, and snapped on the collar. He bowed stiffly, "May I be directed to my quarters and given some funding?"

Luther held his fixed grin, all of his trap was ready to spring forth at any moment and this foolish Voidmaster was walking around like he owned the damn place. "Alasdair I object to this gentleman being here, he has not been asked to wear a Collar and as such can bring you down without inherent risk; I strongly recommend using one of your fancy Collars on him as well, if Cosette rebelled she has a ratehr small amount of power and is above a Crowded club, whilst this foolish person is a Voidmaster and may simply teleport away from here; who do you think needs the collar more?" He was practically seething now, but he held in his rage to keep up appearance, he needed pure concentration to keep his trap from going off accidentaly, it was crucial that nobody moved. He erased the large Void spike posied to erupt from the floor, that was taking much needed energy, now he was in control with some power left.

Luther sighed, he was sick of this type of thing, couldn't he just research in peace and blood splattering gore? He let go of the Tendril of Darkness nearest to the window, it slowly slithered around Leo, it wasn't doing any damage and it wasn't constricting him... yet. "Listen, I have had a very long day, and what with you threatening an act of Terrorism let me just remind you of one thing. I did my research long before I came her, and have rigged up a little gene which will transfer to Cosette once I die, it is my power, and she shall have it and be out of here before the Explosion reaches her. Imagine it, something as innocent and swift as Cosette, hunting you down, day after day, you wouldn't be able to rest anywhere. On top of that is the fact that the Tendril will have crushed at least one internal organ before you manage to disappear; your choice, friend." He hadn't had to plan this much in a long time, it was a rush; of course he was totally lieing about the Transferred powers thing, but Leo couldn't know that unless he had been watching Luther non-stop for the past week or so.

Cosette's childish temper managed to calm an ounce once Luther took control of the chaotic situation and explained his calculated, deadly plan. The worry that had been bubbling up in her subsided when she curiously took a glance upward, searching for the portal and her her single way out of here. She was pleased, To say the least that Luther had followed through with his promise; much happier now than she had been just a few panic stricken moments earlier. For growing up as peasant, Luther sure was quite the twisted, But formidable gentleman.
As Luther insisted that should anything happened to him, his powers would carry to her; There was the slightest change in Cosette's posture, a curious, calculating tilt of her head. She wasn't sure of the truth behind the statement, but such a thing would make it much easier, terribly so to simply murder Luther after muddling him with her insatiable charm. She would be able to steal all that tempting power with hardly an effort. Unfortunately, She was also beginning to take fancy to the mad scientist, her only companion in the dreadful city. She would give him ample chance to follow through with his promises before attempting anything. Before she could place anymore thought on the matter, Her delicate attention flickered to Leo; instantly forming a dislike for the other vampire who was dishing out childish threats.

“I'm swifter than both Luther's tendrils and yourself. If you blow this place up with Luther and I in it, You won't have to worry about the petty little hunters that haven't skill or mind enough to have reached you yet. I will find you so terribly fast, and just as swiftly I meticulously snap and shatter every little bone in your body and follow with a twist of each limb from your torso, You won't have had a single chance to utter pitiful a scream. And the most favorable yet, I'll leave you there, bleeding miserably upon the street. A monster of creature, disfigured and without limbs to carry you trough your retched eternity.” Cosette spoke in a calm voice, Casually almost; But what was most chilling was not what she insisted she would do, but the glimmer of excitement that touched her clever blue eyes as she spoke; betraying that she would take extreme pleasure in disfiguring Leo. So much so, She nearly decided she didn't need an excuse, but now wasn't the proper time to simply get carried away. She reinforced her deadly threat with the briefest smile, so innocent and improper for a mind like hers.
