Turquoise hues blinked at the softly smiling Jack that stood before him, and a little blankly too. He realized the his hand was still held, he straightened and looked away, staring at the wall and cleared his throat.
He didn't just think about kissing him right there. He didn't... ok... denying it made his cheeks feel a bit warm.... why did Jack have to have this affect on him?
It wasn't that he was the problem, it was that he had a problem, a challenge to overcome.
Ah.. she caught that hesitation in him and here the tigress was of four centuries and still he viewed her as though she were not but maybe a few months different in age and entirely new to these things. The tigress smiled softly over his shoulder as he hugged her. Bless him.
"It wasn't the first time you..... go on." she encouraged waiting patiently. She wanted to know. Wanted to hear him tell her.

Jack stifled a giggle as Raven cleared his throat and looked away. He really was quite sweet in his way, even though he tried to pretend not to be most of the time. Jack did not withdraw his hand, liking the way it fit in the other man's far too much. He even gave him just a little squeeze, a small one of gratitude.
Raven wasn't the only one with warm cheeks at that moment. Nor was he the only one who's mind had turned to the pleasant thought of a soft kiss there and then. He was so happy Raven had come back, unhurt. He knew he was attracted, but Jack realised for the first time just how much the blond really meant to him emotionally.
He reached up with his free hand, trailing it over Raven's chest and up to his shoulder, intending to catch Raven's neck and draw him down to his lips. But he lost his nerve at the last moment, straightening the scarf instead with a sigh.
"We should...um..." He murmured shyly, looking aside to the rooms. Not that he really wanted to go hunting for disguises, he'd much rather indulge his fantasies. Part of him wanted to just drag Raven into his old room... his cheek pinked again gently.
"I'm sorry." He murmured into her ear as he held her tightly. He hated that part of himself, he hated that he had allowed the chemicals to control him so much and so easily. His need for toxins had cost him his teenage years. He pressed a kiss against her hair and took a moment to steel himself before he continued.
"I committed suicide a few years ago. I'm sorry. I was weak. I didn't know what else to do." He finally confessed, drawing back and resting his forehead against hers while he spoke. "I'd been hooked for years and it was getting worse and worse. I knew I couldn't get out of it, so the only thing I can think of doing was escaping it. So I overdosed. If Jack hadn't broken into my room..." He frowned and swallowed deeply. He still wasn't sure what Jack had done actually. But he was alive now because of it.
"Forgive me. I should never have let myself do that." He started pressing small kisses to her skin, glad it was her asking. If it had been anyone else he could never have spoken about it. And he knew she wouldn't tell a soul without his permission. "I'm so glad Jack found me. I'm glad I met you."

Raven felt himself to be in quite the dilemma, he wanted Jack to take the initiative to move on but the problem was that he was lingering and the fiddling of the scarf he'd placed around his neck.. told the blond he wasn't the only one that had let his thoughts slip.
He could just move around Jack and keep going, however he didn't want to risk the rude gesture putting Jack in a bad mood for the rest of the mission.. but then again.. that might be a good thing.
"..keep moving, you're right." he did it, he gathered the courage to be a d**k and moved around Jack plodding off down the hall a bit choosing a random room to disappear into. In Jack's plain sight so he knew where he was at least. His hands opened up another cupboard and as he started rifling through it he found a white lab coat that might suit for Kaori's purposes, but scowled at it. It wasn't good enough. He turned and observed the desk, there was a picture at least that would do, looked like she might have been one to work in the labs, Kaori's illusions would be enough to take her place entirely. He'd show her these two things. Now... they needed....
After having seen the marks on his inner elbow, time and again, she had known about the fact that he had at one time used, but having gone so far to overdose.. now that she knew that much, if she wanted she could have a discussion with the reaper that would have been present for that stolen kill.
"Forgive you?" she questioned in soft murmur, pulling back from him just a little to search his features. She shook her head and the softest of tugs at the corner of her lips indicated a smile may be lingering there hidden. "It is not my right to do so. Have you forgiven yourself?" she knew the answer to that already, simply by judging the way he had just begged her to make what little was on his hands, go away. By how his anger had flared in that moment.
"If you let me, I will help you, we will beat it together. One day it won't even bother you any longer, the choice will be easy and the temptation, if not gone, easy to ignore. You will have to help me understand what it was about it that you craved... but.. later. In the safety of our home. I love you. All of you."
Meanwhile Yaone was still waiting outside the door, not wanting to interrupt the pair but eavesdropping on their soft murmurs and musing to herself silently, 'She'ss changed... sso much.... what iss it about this man that charmss her sso?'

"Keep moving. That's it." he nodded as Raven pushed past him and began the search anew. Jack hesitated in the hallway for a moment, listening to his footsteps disappearing down the corridor. He turned his head enough to watch which room he went into. A small snort and a hint of a smile graced his lips for a moment. He might be blond, but he wasn't the stereotype of one. Raven was much smarter than he pretended to be. They had things to do. He could worry about his emotions later, when they got home.
He padded along behind softly, peering into the room he was raiding and then looking down at his sleeves. The cuffs hung over his hands and he smiled, shrugging out of the jacket. He stepped up behind Raven and draped the large jacket over his friend's shoulders before turning to see if he could find a smaller one for himself without a word, crossing the hallway and stealing into a different room to begin ransacking it.
Guyy looked down at her as she pulled back and spoke to him gently. They both knew the answer to her question. He ran a hand through his own hair, pushing it back from his face as his brow creased and his thoughts made him grimace.
"How can I forgive myself for that? I threw away everything in that moment. I gave up the life my mother gave me and nurtured. The life that Mother Gaia worked hard to stabilise enough to even survive birth. The life that was protected by even the most unlikely of sources..." he looked down at the umbrella and sighed. "I would have thrown away the chance to meet you. To become your lover, and to be loved by you. The chance to be a father. I just took it all, and I threw it back in the faces of those that care for me. How can I forgive myself for that?"
He wrapped his arms tight around her, burying his face in the crook of her neck for a moment and taking large gulps of air. She was saving him again. She always saved him. Time and time again. He could never betray her by allowing himself to fall again.
"I love you too. I don't deserve you in my life." He sighed, his lips pulling into a smile for a moment. He lifted his head to gaze down at her, full of that same love in his ruby hues as they locked with her sapphires. They'd both changed, entwining around one another in a way that could never be unravelled.
He turned his head and regarded Klaus on the bed. He was a mess. Or what was left of him was anyway. Still, silent, very very dead. He was the last. He'd felt the serpents finish off the other eventually. He guessed by the emotions shared with Myurr they had a lot of fun.
"I guess we're done here. This building is free of life, aside from our group. We should see if the bird brains have finished their job yet." He suggested, not very subtle about deflecting the subject.

"Hm?" A jacket was placed around his shoulders, the one Jack had been wearing and the blond eyed him as he left and crossed the hall to the next room, this one he was done with and he moved into the next walking past bodies as though they were merely nothing more than carpets or decoration.
Jackpot, this closet had an outfit that would fit him and make him look like one of the guards. It didn't take him long to shrug into the uniform and call for his partner in crime, "Hey Jack.. find anything yet? What do you think of this?" he came plodding around the corner.
"Good.. that's a start." Kaori smiled softly, the fact that he couldn't forgive himself would remind him automatically in future of what it was that was more important to him. It would be easier with time and an automatic choice. She had waited until he was all but done and turned back to her again, she still had his hand entwined in her fingers.
"But you know now that you won't forgive yourself, that what has happened.. is in the past and it is where it will stay. In future you will be reminded, tested, and each time it will be easier to stand by the decision you've made. Let yourself use the experience to make you stronger, but don't beat yourself up over it any longer, let yourself move on past it. It is pointless to be hung up over it, but let it guide future decisions. Trust yourself. " and after a bit of a pause she added, "and save the 'I don't deserve you's' for people that have made or do make life difficult for you."
And finally she'd allow the switch of topic, "I know it will always be a subject that you want to avoid and divert from and that is ok my love. I won't pressure you about it... but do bring it up... sometime.. when you feel it's right." she smiled and pressed another kiss to his fingers. "Yes, let's go see what those boys are up to."

Jack tore through drawers and the closet in this room, quickly working out it was a woman's room when he held up a particularly frilly pair of underwear. He had a little bit of a giggle to himself as he stuffed them in his pocket. He'd plant them on Raven later, just to confuse him. But in her closet he did find a jacket that was small enough for him at least. He had to raid the next room to find a male shirt which he shrugged on.
Just as he was putting them on he heard Raven calling and he trotted up to him happily, tucking the shirt into his trousers. Fortunately his own black trousers would pass as uniform. he slipped the jacket on over the top with satisfaction, letting it hang open for now. He looked up at the DJ, pausing for a moment as he adjusted his own sleeves to let his emerald eyes glide over him.
He took in the whole look slowly. Twice. A twitch at the corner of his lips hinted at a hidden smile.
"I'm going to have to start making the DJs wear uniforms." He remarked approvingly. How was it Raven looked so delicious in everything he wore? He stepped forward and reached up to the blond, tugging at his collar and patting down the material until it was all neat and straight. "Ah, here. Sorry. But this might give you away." He stood on his toes to run his fingers through Raven's hair, trying to flatten the spikes just for a while and brush the golden locks backwards gently.
He kept his fingers locked in hers, not wanting to let go of her ever. She was comforting to him. She somehow made everything easier to bear just by being there. He nodded slowly. It was a start. She was probably the first person he had ever told, not including Jack who had witnessed it himself. He took a few deep breaths and listened intently to her words of wisdom, knowing she was right. He closed his eyes for a moment. How could he face the tests, the temptations?
He opened his eyes and looked back up at her with a smile. He could face them all, with her at his side. He gave her hand a squeeze and laughed softly.
"You do make life difficult for me sometimes you know. You make me almost feel merciful on occasion." he smirked, glancing to Klaus. "Almost."
He watched her as her lips pressed to his fingers again, his heart skipping just a little. He knew she wouldn't push him to speak, and in time that would make it easier for him to let it all out. One day she might just need to nudge him a little, perhaps even something simple like trailing her fingers over his old trackmarks would be enough to get him to quietly tell her the whole story. He nodded in a silent promise to her.
"I'm sure they've found something by now. If not, I dread to think what they've actually be up to up there. Other than going through my stuff." He laughed, shaking his head as leading her towards the door at a leisurely pace. "We will need to go see what sort of mess Ilia has made next, I think." He said grimly, though looking at him would reveal amusement in his scarlet eyes.

"Huh?" the blond looked up as Jack fussed with his stubborn hair, "Oh..." because as far as Jack's efforts went... his hair still refused to lay flat. "Hm. Let's see.." he looked into the closest room and headed for the bathroom, running the water he scooped it up and used it to slick his hair right back. Smoothly. He didn't like how it looked, it made him seem older and slightly distinguished. He turned from the mirror to the Den manager, "That better?" he smirked slightly at the fussing.
"I'm right here with you my love. Every step of the way." A dual statement, "Let's hurry."
With that Yaone returned to her slipping up over and around her shoulders as they headed out and upstairs....

Jack hid a little giggle as Raven's hair just kept sticking up no matter what he did to it. Not that he minded teasing it and trying to tousle it down. It was sort of fun. He let him go as he used water to moisten his hair and slick it back. When he returned Jack stared. Raven may not like it, but there really was something distinguished about Raven now.
He looked like he wouldn't be out of place at a business meeting or a high society event. It was sort of attractive in a way. He nibbled his lip and smiled at him. Though the spikes were much better for the Den.
"You look good. I like it. I feel like I could take you to a corporate takeover now." he giggled, patting Raven's chest lightly. "But don't worry, I won't. Unless you want to watch grown men arguing like kids over some scrap of business."
She always was at his side, whenever he needed her. He was endlessly grateful for that. He nodded down at her and smiled at Yaone, leading her up the stairs and spotting the boys in the hallway all dressed up. He smirked at Raven looking almost formal. He really could pass way too easily as a bodyguard or something now. Jack on the other hand was wearing a woman's fitted jacket and letting it hang from his frame too stylishly.
"Cute jacket Jack. But this isn't a fashion show." He smirked.
"It was all I could find that fit. Clear?" he retorted, looking back over his shoulder and asking about the building.
"Clear. Well and truly. Did you find us something? We need to get going."
Jack nodded to the second room he'd raided, where a slightly larger jacket was on the bed with a spare shirt. Guyy smiled down at Kaori, finally releasing her as he pulled off his shirt and went to put the shirt and jacket on.

"I'm just a goon. If you need to make that impression on someone, I'll be happy to tag along boss." he winked and looked to the Shinigami couple headed their way.
Kaori stopped a moment when she saw Raven looking like he was and said nothing. Guyy released her, and she watched the material of his shirt glide over the muscles in his back, not connected quite right and longer than any human but still they flexed with beautiful movement. Hm.. yum.
Turning her attention back to Raven she looked him over, harshly even. And then he grinned at her and slung an arm around her shoulders claiming to still be himself.
"Here common this way.. I found this stuff for you.."
"Uh huh.." it was a crisp sound. And she pulled her attention away from him and to the jacket and photo, the image of her shimmered and shifted and when she turned around, she was the person in the photo and the Jacket with the id even she shrugged into.
"Raven I swear, don't you dare take any of this lightly. Game face. It's time to get serious."
"Right.. apologies Milady." his expression went entirely blank and cold.
"That's much better. And call me... " she looked at the badge name, "Janet Smyth." she still looked at him scrutinizingly and lifted a hand to his features cupping his cheek tenderly. And Just a bit of grunge, age and tiredness was added to his features, taking the boyish-ness out of him entirely. And now the corner of her lips tugged in satisfaction. "That's better.. you look like one of the ones I took care of earlier. Jack or Guyy'll know his name probably."
The pair returned to the hall to meet the boys. "So.. do we pass?"

Jack looked Raven up and down. He was making an impression already. But probably not the one a goon was supposed to make. Emerald eyes swept the blond's form, teeth nibbling on his own lower lip gently. He turned and watched as he guided Kaori to the scientific wear they had found. He turned his eye on Guyy who was busy shrugging into his own suit now.
"Good. It fits. Better than your old stuff would now." he remarked, eye flickering to the ajar door of Guyy's old room.
Guyy tucked the shirt into his trousers and buttoned the shirt up. Covering it with the jacket. He raised an eyebrow at Jack. So, he'd been responsible for going through his things. He tucked the umbrella inside the inner pocket of the jacket.
"Some things are best left in the past, you know. Bad fashion choices are one of them." He smirked, making Jack giggle a little.
Much to Guyy's delight he found a pair of sunglasses in the pocket he had just slipped the umbrella into. They'd be perfect for disguising his eyes. He glanced in a mirror and sighed. He'd need to slick back his hair like Raven's too. What a pair they'd make. He headed into the bathroom, the sound of water splashing in the sink echoed for a moment before he stepped back out looking a little disgruntled about his now far too neat hair.
He blinked at Kaori. He looked her up and down. Even though he knew it was just illusions it was sort of surprising to see a different woman in the place all his other senses told him his beloved stood.
"Good work." He smiled, reading the badge. "Dr. Smyth. Hm. You know the name, Jack?" He called over his shoulder as jack did his best to make his own outfit look more presentable.
"Janet Smyth? Nope. She must be a new one. I know after the disappointment we turned out to be he changed the lab staff around a bit. Forcibly." He wrinkled up his nose a bit.
"Hn. As for Raven..." Guyy smirked slowly. "Yes. He does bear a passing resemblance to one of the ones you dispatched Milady. I believe his name was... let me remember..." Guyy glanced around the floor. He held up a finger and vanished into the stairway.
A few moments later he came back with a handful of badges. He handed one to Raven, bearing the name of one of the corpses on the other floor.
"You are Simon DuPont, Raven. Jack, put a hat on and you can be Peter Mitchell." He handed a second card to Jack, who pinned it to his jacket and found a trilby in a nearby room to cover the length of his hair. Guyy put the sunglasses on and pushed them up his nose.
"I am now Daniel Grey. And I would say we all do a pretty good job of passing. We'll have to convince everyone else that Ilia is a lab rat though. She may be the hardest to pass off." He nodded, wiping a spot of blood off his stolen badge. He grinned to himself. They'd have to clean up whatever mess she'd made too. "Speaking of her, we better go collect her before she breaks anyone else. Raven, Jack. You two and I will need to flank Kaori as if we are escorting her formally. As if she's carrying important papers or samples." He smirked, bowing slightly and inviting Kaori to take the lead out of the door as any lady should. At least they wouldn't have to hide in the shadows any more.

Dr. Smyth looked up to her brutish looking colleagues and nodded. "Right, let's go then." and with that they were off through the building quickly striding across the yard in the pitch of night, her white lab coat flying behind her as they made their way over to the security office where Ilia was holed up.
Swiping the badge gave her access and the door swung open for her as she took a look around inside. The air was thick with the smell of blood.
"What's going on in here?" she questioned vaguely, not wanting anyone left alive to think that they weren't part of their team as Raven moved in behind her looking around at the slight mess. Not really realizing that Ilia might consider them to be the strangers they looked like.

Guyy and Jack strode across the yard, looking as fierce as they could. It was slightly more successful on Guyy's part than on Jack's but the effect between the three men was really quite intimidating. Thankfully, no one else was around at this time of night and they were not challenged. That also meant there wasn't likely to be anyone discovering the bodies in the residential building any time soon.
The smell of blood hit Guyy as well as they stepped in. Jack went a little bit pale, but calmed down when he remembered Ilia didn't really bleed. Guyy looked around and grimaced. The room was pretty simple. A table and kitchenette area. The monitor banks. The doors to the server, bathroom and sleeping room.
The table was soaked in blood. As was the floor around one of the chairs. In that chair sat a middle aged man with his head duct-taped on. Guyy stifled a snicker. Near the monitor bank a younger man lay, eyes open. No heartbeat. It looked like she'd snapped his neck swiftly. Ilia was picking up a few things from her mother, he guessed. He scanned the room. There was a very frightened heartbeat in a small closet between the bathroom and server room. The woman. The door was sealed shut with a licker though it seemed she was in no hurry to get out.
In the middle of the room a little girl in a blood soaked shirt stared at them in surprise. She had a mop and bucket. Clearly she was letting her natural instincts to clean up a mess give her something to do. And it seemed like she'd done a not bad job so far. She stayed still, unsure what to do. And then she broke into a smile.
"Daddy!" She laughed, dropping the bucket. And that meant the two other mean were Jack and Raven, and the woman was.. "Mama!I broke him. I tried to fix him, I really did." The little bot sighed, looking at the man propped up in the chair and answering her question.
She ran over towards them brightly, arms held up for a hug. Guyy caught her and lifted her up, looking around. She's certainly taken care of herself, it appeared.
"One in the cupboard. Terrified." Guyy stated, looking to Raven and Jack. Kaori would already know.
"You, troublemaker, need to get us into the security grid. Where is it?" Guyy said to Ilia. The little bot pointed to the server room. Guyy nodded and stepped over the prone body, heading towards it. He opened the door.
Cold. Brr.
But there was a job to be done. He set Ilia down and gently nudged her forward into the room to find the appropriate connection point. He'd follow her in when she found it to connect her into the system. For now he lingered out in the warmth of the main room.

Dr. Smyth turned to Simon Dupont, motioning towards the closet wordlessly. The blond nodded in acknowledgement slid the barrier out of the way and popped the door open as fast as he could. Earning a surprised shriek that was quickly muffled by his paw of a hand over the lower half of her face.
Recognition flashed through her eyes and the woman shook her head no humming in protest and fear, trying to fight him off, but he was just too big. When he turned around to face her towards the good doctor, one strong arm had her securely held against his chest around her middle, the other kept his hand over her mouth.
She trembled, her whole body was shaking with fear and he noticed his hand was getting wet with tears. Her muffled sobs sort of gave it away, her hands were clawing at his arm that held her against him, her eyes frantically looking at the others in the room but was immediately faced with Dr. Smyth.
They were moving out of the closet and into the bathroom where sooner or later the other two bodies would be ending up.
Kaori turned to Jack, "We'll take care of her, but those two may need your assistance in that server room." she suggested knowing that Jack could keep Guyy warm while he hooked Ilia up as needed. She went in after Raven and their captive closing the door behind them. Knowing that she was further frightening her new 'prey' just for the act alone.
What the others wouldn't see was how Raven seemed well practised in switching his hold on the woman, crossing her arms behind her back and keeping them there turning his body so that his right side was presented to her back, even if she threw her head back, she'd miss and only bump into the fleshy part of his shoulder.
It was Kaori's hands that now muffled cries of terror and forcibly held the womans head up and off to the side exposing her neck, drawing close, a pink tongue slid over the lady's neck, sharp fangs grew from canines to sink deeply into the exposed, trembling flesh. The tigress fed once again her insatiable hunger, the night was long yet, there would be more to feed from that would end up empowering her greatly.
Little by little the woman stopped resisting and just accepted her fate, growing weaker she slumped into unconsciousness and finally, as Kaori drained her completely, into death. When all was still for what was too long it seemed the impostor of a doctor pulled away at last, her hand wiping at a small dribble of blood on her chin and looking away from Raven into the mirror over the sink. She washed her hands and made sure there was no blood left on her lips before turning to see him sitting the woman in the corner as she dried her hands on a towelette. "Raven.." she paused as he looked to her, "thank-you."
"Don't mention it. I'll get the other two in here." he replied softly and opened the door heading out into the main room once again first dragging in the 'unbroken' but dead male and then just dragged the chair into the bathroom with the other guy, washed up and headed back out again. At least that bit was done and out of the way with now. The pair of them stood waiting for Guyy, Ilia and Jack to finish their work before moving on. He did notice how Yaone went into the bathroom then to claim the three souls for her own.
"How many before you're full?" he asked softly
"I don't get full, I just get stronger and it stays until I use up the energy. It can last a very long time if I don't exert myself." she replied just as softly watching him nod in understanding.
"Then.. we should not waste. If it means that you can be satisfied for longer, less hunting later... does it matter if they are dead or alive?"
"Alive tastes better, but if I can linger here after the mission I'll drain what dead ones are feasible for draining."
"What about the other one in there then?"
She looked to the server room and back to Raven, "You're right.. while we're waiting.. I won't be long." And she let herself into the washroom once again to drain the one with the snapped neck, careful to avoid the messily bloodied one. Once again closing the door behind her.

Jack fidgeted behind Raven, watching him restrain the woman swiftly and easily. He knew her, he realised. She'd been with the group a long time. Though he was sort of surprised to see her in a security uniform. She had worked with his mother. He bit his lip and stepped back, out of sight. He was actually glad when Kaori pointed out Guyy would need him in the server room. Jack was more than happy to hide out of the way there. He let Kaori and Raven deal with her.
Ilia ran into the room and poked around for a moment, dragging cables out of the way as she hunted for the right ports. There! At the back!
"Daddy! Here! Standard connections too. I can hack my way right in." She called out to the snakeman.
Guyy nodded. Smart girl, android or not. He was just stepping in when he felt Jack behind him, surrounding him in a bubble of warmth. He smiled over his shoulder at his friend and nodded his thanks.
"The woman... it's Scarlet. Remember her?" He whispered in Guyy's ear as they stepped into the server room to meet up with Ilia.
"Scarlet? Wasn't she...?" Guyy raised an eyebrow. She wasn't security staff.
"Yeah. I know. I don't know what she's doing here." Jack glanced over his shoulder and frowned.
They approached Ilia and Guyy had her sit on a nearby box, turning her and pulling down the collar of her shirt as he popped the skin free beneath her neck to expose her own ports.
"She's not doing anything any more. Kaori has her." He stated flatly, though it was hard to extend his senses outside of the cold room. The fear was gone. And so was her life.
"She was nicer than most. When I was little, she'd watch me when my mother was working sometimes." Jack sighed.
"Don't think about it. It's better this way. She's one of them too, remember?" Guyy suggested as his fingers worked to patch Ilia into the system. "How are you doing, sweetie?"
"I'm in. Breaking the encryption now. Working..." She stared into space with glazed eyes as she focussed on the program instead of the world around her, trusting her care to the men with her. "I have full access. This place has very poor security compared to home."
"Good girl." Guyy smirked. Of course it did. The library was better protected than anywhere he knew of. "Can you turn security off?"
"It's off. I can see everything too." From the system she could access all the cameras and move them to her will.
"Good, excellent. Can you switch control to wireless so you can move around? And can you see the men I told you about?"
"I'm overwriting the security controls now. No one can take over from me. There is enough wireless access for me to be unhooked." She nodded slowly. "And I see the men. One in an office. One in the gym."
"Perfect. Doesn't take much to figure out who is where. Lock those rooms down. And lock the labs too. I don't want anyone coming or going."
Ilia did so with little more than a thought. Once done Guyy's fingers worked to detach her from the servers. All the while Jack stayed close, keeping his friend warm in the cold room.
"I think your Mama's finished now. Go on and find her. See if she can get you a clean shirt. We can't have you wandering around like that." he smiled, petting her on her way. Ilia ran out into the main room.
"Mama! I did it." She giggled.
"Come on. We'll close this chapter for good." Guyy turned to Jack. The redhead nodded, staring at the floor as they walked along behind her. it would be good to end this for good.

Kaori returned from the washroom as she sensed movement from the server room. It wasn't a moment later that Ilia was happily giggling coming to meet her. There was a blank expression across her features.. even with the soft smile and the gentle hand that rested upon Ilia's head, the killer she is, was much more present in her features rather than being hidden like it was when she was at home.
Her sapphires slid to the corner of her eye at the boys as they came through, Jack didn't look happy at all. Well neither of them did, the whole thing was hard for the both of them, she knew. Some of what they were doing was sweet revenge and some was very bitter. The woman she knew would have bothered probably both of them, and even if they had left her alive she could have been very troublesome for the lot of them. Maybe she would have notified that there was trouble of some sort but as it was, there would no longer be that risk. As it was, the reaper had given the woman one of the kinder, gentler ways to die by her hand.
"Ilia.." she turned back to her daughter and knelt, brushing at her hair gently and cupping her cheek, "you've been a very good girl tonight. Thank-you sweetie." she looked at the bloody mess and touched the shirt, her light blue glittering light ate the blood out of the material, cleaning the little bot up nicely, once done Kaori hugged Ilia gently and kissed her forehead softly, lingering a moment and murmuring softly, perhaps only just loud enough for the child to actually hear her. "Remember not to break people.. Mama needs the nourishment of their blood to be strong. It's easier if it's not spilled everywhere." she laughed softly making light of the accident. "And finding a way to restrain them and keep them quiet and waiting for me is even better, if you can honey, and if the opportunity arises that it's feasible ok? I know my eating habits bother others so don't tell anyone." She pulled away then to look her over searchingly, "You understand.. right honey?"
Raven meanwhile stood by arms folded and leaning against the wall patiently for their next plan of attack. Looking over to Jack while mother and daughter had their exchange of words he knew the red head was already bothered by what was going down here. It was written all over his face.
"So.. how do we go about the next phase of the operation?" he asked getting a look at the labs from the cameras on the wall of screens. "Those single ones can be left for Kaori, as long as they aren't going anywhere they'll be easy for her to get to and deal with."
