A Talk with Luthor after a long sleep
Part 1
Eyes started to flutter open, but they really only opened half ways as Ciaran wasn't total all there right now. As he was still slightly insane and the effects of what he had been dreaming had calmed down his fury he had before he passed out. All that was on his mind right now was to get back to Sokan and nothing else despite his injuries. Sitting up in bed and swinging his legs to one side of the bed to where he could get up and walk. Also not caring if there were things plugged into him as they just ripped out as he stood up and started to walk from the bed in a slow swaying way towards to where the entrance of the labs were located, not caring if he was even bleeding, just kept on walking.
Aden was on his way back from having a quick smoke when he found himself walking toward the one that had been peacefully resting back in the medical ward. He blinked a couple times then went rushing forward, "Ciaran? You shouldn't be up." He scolded the teen, looking him over and sighed when he saw the damage that the spawn had done to himself in his escape from his bed, "Come on, let’s get you back so that I can look you over."
Looking up at Aden but really not understanding to what Aden had said to him as he just continued to walk forward the best he could to get to the goal in his mind. "Must get back to Sokan," he said softly and repeatedly with his eyes unfocused. "Must get back..safe...know that he might be worried," he also said as his tail also started to sway back and forth with feathers flared out.
Aden shook his head, "We can call the guy, but you’re not cleared to leave yet." He said, stepping so that he was in front of the spawn and held his hands out to either of his side to make himself seem bigger, "Now, turn around and bring your cute self back in the other direction." He told him, making a motion with one hand.
"No, no, no. Must get back he can’t watch here to many scary things here and too many white rooms. Don't want to go back to shattered places. No one in those places care. So I must get back," he said not really intimidated by Aden appearing to be bigger and continued to walk forward.
"Ahh... can't ever have an easy day, can I?" He complained to nobody in particular before he stepped forward to meet Ciaran, wrapping an arm around his midsection, "Come on Cutie, let’s go back. If your Sokan really cares about you he won't want you to strain yourself."
Ciaran struggled a little to get out of Aden’s grasp, but in reality he didn't have the strength to fight much. "I don't want to go back to that white room..." he was saying as he tried to use his magic but was still to weak for it to work and passes out in the effort.
Aden gave a little sound of surprise when the boy collapsed but he was able to catch him to keep him from hurting himself further. He gave a little shake of his head as he swept the boy up into his arms, "Silly little boy." He chided him as he headed back, "You really do need to learn to behave, the sooner you listen to me and rest the sooner you will be able to go home." He was saying as he walked back and laid Ciaran back down on the cot and set to searching him over, making sure he wasn't hurt again, taking care of what wounds he'd given himself.
It was a sometime had gone past and once more Ciarans eyes opened up slowly and he gave out a grow as his eyes came into focus as saw to were he was and wasn't all that happy and he still couldn't remember to why it hurt to breath as he sat up in the cot to get a better look around. That is when he saw that his arms were bandaged up. His eyes when wide as he started to freak out as he let out a loud meep as he then struggled to take the bandages off as it wasn't working all that well as he didn't have that much coronation to be effective.
It didn't take long for Aden to arrive, reaching out to catch hold of Ciaran's hands, "Easy there kid, relax... come on." He murmured, giving his hands a gentle squeeze as he worked on getting his hands untangled from the bandages. He gave him a smile, "There we go, relax now. I don't want you to open any of your wounds again."
Ciaran tried to take a deep breath to try and calm himself down just as Aden has said but it burned so bad to do so and took lots of shallow breaths with all his feathers that could fluffed out in his distress. It took a little but he did finally did calm down enough that he stopped to try to take off his bandages and to where he wouldn't make his wounds open again but was still a little agitated.
Aden soothed a hand over Ciaran's hair and gave him a smile, "There you go, that's much better. You see? You just need to try to stay calm; you’re safe here with me. There are no demons here, no battles, just me." He said in a reassuring manner, smiling at the boy as he seemed to be relaxing but wasn't there completely just yet.
Ciaran aquardly smiled as his tail tip swished back and forth. "It’s a little hard to stay calm when," he said as he motioned to his bandages. "As they remind me of the straight jacket I wore when I was younger," he said to Aden.
He gave him a smile as he lifted his hands up one at a time to give each a little squeeze, "But see? They are free, aren't they? I wouldn't tie you down... for any medical reason." He winked at Ciaran and then gave the backs of his hand each a kiss. He couldn't help but to tease him a little bit because well... he was a cutie and Aden had a weakness for cute people.
Ciaran had to giggle a little. "Yes they are but it’s not them being free it’s the feel of any type of fabric on my arms that freak me out." he said as blushed a little as he didn't know how to react to the kissing of the back of his hands. "That’s not what the Techs did when I came here the first time, I came here insane and I guess I tried killing myself in which I ended up in a white room to be forgotten," he added.
"I am not a tech though, am I? I am a Doctor." He murmured, giving Ciaran a smile before he drew back, "You need only to keep those bandages on long enough to let your wounds heal, it shouldn't take to long. Try to be strong, alright?"
"I know that, or I wouldn’t be here right now and back into the little white room once was in," Ciaran said smiling back and snorted a little too as he didn't want the bandages on, but kept them on. "Well you might have to live with me freaking out for the next few days as something I still don’t like and I will try, but I know things can change in a hurry,"
"I will do my best to keep a close eye on you to keep you safe and content while we wait for you to get in better shape." He assured him, wanting for Ciaran to know that he was safe here in his care unlike with the techs who cared more for their science then they did for the results which were the spawn...
Ciaran nodded as he did know he felt safe here with Aden around but he would feel a little safer if he could see if Luthor was all right. "Well don't worry too much about me as I'm not that important, but from the last thing I can remember is Luthor ok?"
He gave a nod of his head, "I dealt with his wounds and then... well his body dealt with them the rest of the way. He has a few scars that he will carry the rest of his life but they shouldn't plague him to much unless they are the sort that is affected by the weather." He assured the spawn, giving him a smile, "When you’re feeling up to a visit he’s been haunting the area, wanting to look in on you but I keep chasing him off telling him you need your rest."
Ciaran had to smile, but he did have to tell Luthor a few things that he remembered he was going to tell him that he had seen. As with his insanity most of the time he really doesn’t remember things all the way, just bits and pieces of what happened. "So how bad did I get hurt as I really don't remember all that much of what happened after my insanity kicked in and I'm up for a visit now if that is fine," he asked.
"Pretty bad I am afraid; you have some ribs that will take some time to knit together, scrapes and bruises all over, but your still young and strong so I am sure that you will be alright." He told him in an assuring manner, "Do you like to eat fish? Eating a lot of those is said to help with getting bones to knit back together. I can see about getting you some if you like."
Just smiling as that is why it hurt to breath and he wondered if he would have some scars too as he always found those interesting and as they always told a story to others that saw them. "Ah so being sore is a good thing then, also will I get some scars too," he asked quietly as was a little shy about it. Perking up when he heard the mention of food. "Yes I do in any form." he said as his stomach then growled its own reply and Ciaran just had to giggle and sheepishly grinned.
He gave a nod, "It’s possible that you will end up with some as well." He said, "Don't worry though, chicks dig scars. They make a guy look tough." He gave a chuckle as the boy's stomach responded to the idea of food and he pushed to his feet, "I will see about getting you some food brought in from our cafeteria." There should be plenty of fish to be had given it was what Torekane ate so much of.
Ciaran had to do a full blush at the comment about chicks digging scars as he was still scared of them and he scratched his face as he was a lost for words as well. "Ok. I guess I will stay here,"
"Promise?" He asked, "I can call for Luthor if you like, he can keep you company. That would allow me to go and get your food myself and make sure that I get you a lot of what you need." He offered. If Luthor were here he could keep an eye on Ciaran and keep the boy in bed where he would remain safe and sound.
He smiled and thought it would be nice to talk with Luthor. "Could you please? I will be very good," he said giving puppy eyes to Aden as it had been a very long time since he had done something like this and was going to see if it worked.
He nodded, rising up to his feet, "Just remember that means you have to behave, stay in bed, and not mess with your bandages." He reminded the boy before he headed to the hall, flagging down a tech and gave the order to go and find Luthor. The white coated man wasn't all that pleased at the order but he knew that he had to obey Aden without question, no matter how odd the orders might be. The Doctor patted down his own lab coat until he found what he was looking for; good he had his pack of smokes and lighter on him still he thought to himself. He was going to get another smoke before he fetched Ciaran's dinner, should be alright with Luthor watching after him.
It was a short time later the white haired spawn showed up, he was dressed in his normal dress of a pair of loose, sweat pants, and nothing much else. Aden didn't think that the boy quite understood what a temptation he really was looking the way he looked. He would have started flirting then and there but he had to get something for Ciaran, "I need you to look after my patient, cutie." He purred at Luthor, unable to resist a little bit of flirting before he headed out.
Luthor blinked, watching the guy go, feeling the desire to kick him then turned to head into the hospital ward and over to where Ciaran was.
Ciaran smiled and nodded. "Ok I can do that," he replied as he did grump to himself as he did think that he would try and fiddle with the bandages as he still didn't like them at all. But he said he would be good and he was good on his word as he did have some things to say to Luthor anyways.

A talk with Luthor after a long sleep
Part 2
Ciaran watched the Aden leave and spotted Luthor coming in and he did want to get up and go greet his friend but then remembered the promise and just stayed, but he did sit up in the cot better and used the pillow behind his back. Smiling and he waved to Luthor as he was happy to see him.
Luthor walked to over where his friend was sitting and took a seat in the chair that Aden had recently abandoned, giving a smile, "I am glad to see that your awake, Ciaran." He murmured, he'd been so worried about him, worried that he was going to be stuck sleeping forever. It had reminded him of when Pepper was younger and sick, when he wouldn't wake up either and it had been something that had Luthor on edge. Aden had assured him it would be alright but until now he hadn't been able to relax.
"It’s good to see you too, Luthor. I'm glad to be awake too," he murred and thinking about the weird dream he had. As he looked over his friend and his eyes went to the scars that were on his stomach and thought to himself that once he was out of here and have a chat with Duncan. Ciaran then smiled more as he saw that Luthor had gotten bigger and more beautiful. "No need to worry, but you also are very bad at lying," Ciaran said as he pointed to Luthor's scars. "Also I see that you grew again too,"
He looked down at his stomach, one hand scratching at the scars before he gave a smile, "They are nothing to worry about, don't even hurt anymore." He said to Ciaran, not wanting him to worry about such things when he was hurt for real. He nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes, not to long ago." He said, his wings giving a little flutter of their own accord.
Ciaran giggled a little and not too much before it would start to hurt, but he won't let Luthor know that he hurt more than he was letting on. "Well that’s good," he replied as he spotted Luthor's fluttering wings and thought that they were so cute and so fluffy. "So do anything interesting since I have been sleeping?"
Luthor seemed to debate on that for a moment before he shook his head, "Not exactly interesting so much as odd." He said finally, thinking on the point where he had grown in the presence of the 'blood donor' as he'd dubbed Vampy in his mind. The guy had acted rather... odd; probably the nicest that the white haired spawn had ever seen him act before. It was creepy...
Ciaran looked at Luthor as he thought as he thought of his own adventures of his weird dream of white endless room and the voice that wouldn't stop talking down to him or to even show its face or the sounds of distance explosions. "Well I it better to be odd than to be terrible. Tho I did have a weird dream. But I be glad to be awake and talking with ya, Luthor. So is there anything you want to talk about," he asked as he tried to think of some things to talk about.
He gave a shake of his head, as he leaned forward, crossing his arms to rest them on the edge of the bed, and rested his head on them, "I can't think of anything to important." He murmured quietly, looking up at Ciaran for a moment, then away, then back up to him looking far younger in that moment then his body made him out to be, "I am... sorry..." He said quietly, wings giving a little twitch as he spoke.
Ciaran just has to smile. "Well I know that I want to do something but I have been ordered not to leave this cot and I just hate these bandages on my arms. But I be glad that you are just here," he said as he knew that Sokan wasn't going to be too happy with him once he knew were he was and he would have to deal with that once he got back. Giving a little huff at Luthor last comment and put a finger to his mouth. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I should be the one that is sorry as I wanted to go and you’re the one that was trying to convince me not to. So don't try, but I be sorry. It was selfish of me, but now I know stuff and I just have to be careful of things and hold onto things that I care for very much," Ciaran replied as he started to play with Luthors hair.
"I should have known... that it wasn't Pepper." He murmured, feeling quite foolish for how he'd run toward that other demon, one that could have killed him if it wanted to, wanting to protect him from that Demoness. He lifted a head and rubbed it against his temples, "The problem... was... even when I figured it out... I told him to run away, so that Vampy would catch him. He looked so much like Pepper I didn't want to see him end up like the demons and angels that live here... silly, huh?"
He let his eyes close when he felt Ciaran's hand stroking his hair and seemed to relax a bit, giving a smile, "I could have stayed behind... even though I wasn't able to talk you out of going. You didn't drag me in the portal."
"Don't worry yourself over that fact as you were surprise to see and Pepper is your best friend and you care for him alot. Everyone makes mistakes and we learn from them too," Ciaran said as he continued to play with Luthors hair as it felt so nice and it also relaxed him. "It’s because you know to what he is like more than the rest of us and didn't want that demon to be a play thing for Vampy," he added as he wanted to pet Luthors wings as he just loved feathers and for the part of his bloodline too.
"That is true, but I could have also told you to say behind as well as I knew that you didn't want to go. But in the long run we learned something and got out to tell the tale,"
Luthor gave a little nod of agreement, glad to hear that Ciaran wasn't really mad at him for what he'd done. He could only hope that it didn't come back to bite him later that he'd helped that demon, talked with him, encouraged him to flee... His wings stretched out, flapped, then settled against his back. He felt much better now that he was with his friend and his friend was awake, the guilt he'd felt was starting to ease a bit, "Your probably right... things worked out, I will feel better when your better though."
Ciaran was never mad Luthor, scared yes he was as he didn't know what he would have done if he had lost Luthor, even if he hadn't been in the right frame of mind for the last part of the fight. "Things will work out for the better or worse as that is how life is as you don't know what truly going to happen until it does. Don't worry about me now, I'm fine. I will heal up quick and then we can go out and do thing together."
The white haired spawn seemed to relax further, eyes sinking closed, and he shifted a hand to lay it over one of Ciaran's as he watched his friend. He was just happy to see that he was alright, he wasn't even really thinking about what they would do next though now that he thought on it his mind was racing a little bit. He was curious as to that next step, they would be able to go out together, shopping again maybe, or just walking, maybe to go and visit Sokan? He smiled a bit, "I look forward to whatever it is will be doing." He said after a long, quiet moment of thought.
Ciaran smiled back to Luthor as he took ahold of Luthors hand as he was just happy with his friend being here with him and it made him less to think about all the bandages that were on his arm and the discomfort that they had possed. In the back of his mind he wished that right now didn't have to end or to face reality and all the hardships that were just waiting to happen. He thought on what they could do for a second as Ciaran thought that there could be lots of places he could take Luthor to go see and do. 'Well for the first time we go outside you can choose a place that you want to go to or haven't seen before," he suggested.
He nodded, "I will think on it." He said after a moment of thought, he wasn't really sure where he would want to go given there was no much out there that he hadn't seen before. Everything was new to him that was outside of the Labs so it would take a lot of journeys out to even begun to scratch the surface of what there was to see.
"Mm, I leave for a moment and the two of you get so cute and cuddly without me. I'm hurt." Came a voice that had Luthor prickling a bit.
The white hair spawned turned quickly, lifting himself to sitting up right and gave Aden a look as the Doctor came back into the room carrying a large tray, "Whatever it is your thinking up in that brain of yours, just stop... its not like that." He told him in a no nonsense manner. He didn't want the guy teasing or flirting with Ciaran, or really anyone for that matter, so he would give him a kick if he tried.
There was a little pout from Aden before the man walked over and set the tray of food down on Ciaran's lap, "Here you go."
"Ok," Ciaran replied as he was thinking of a few places that he hadn't got to either and thought it would be good for the both of them to do it together. But just as soon as he heard the comment from Aden about them being cute, Ciaran brain when blank and didn't know what to do. But was a little sad that Luthor sat up, oh well that was how life was he thought to himself.
Ciarans thoughts came back to him as the food was put into his lap and found that it smelled really good as he tried to decide on were to start. "Thanks," he said to Aden as he took a bite of some baked fish and found that it was good despite coming from here. "You should try some this," he said pointing to the baked fish and handed him the spoon for Luthor to try.
Aden smiled at Ciaran before he lifted a hand to ruffle Luthor's hair, knowing that the boy would get grouchy but he couldn't resist. He was too cute for his own good after all. His attention turned to Ciaran then, "You can share a bite or two but you really should eat all you can, it will be good for you and help in your recovery." He explained to both of the spawn.
Luthor looked at the spoon held out to him, uncertain after what Aden had said. He hesitated before taking it so that he could sample a small bite, sure he could go and get himself some if he really wanted to, "It is good." He murmured, handing the spoon back. His wings gave a little flutter and he looked a bit on the stiff side, not as relaxed now as when it had been just the two of them.
Ciaran ate some more of the fish as he grumped over Aden playing with Luthors hair as he liked doing as his tail tip wagged back and forth. "Ok," he answered as he continued to eat as it was all good and he did want to get out of here as fast as he could and to brave what ever Sokan might stay or do.
Some part of him wanted Aden to leave them both alone were he could talk with his friend more openly as he has seen how Luthor's wings had tensed up when Aden had come into the room. "You should get some of this when you head out, Luthor." he said as he ate more of the food. "But I think one day we should go to a festable or something like that were they have all different type of food that can be tested,"
Luthor glanced over at Aden for a moment then back to Ciaran, nodding his head, "I think that sounds nice." He agreed, finding it a little hard to talk in front of the guy. He didn't exactly trust Aden due to the fact that he worked for Vampy, it was likely an unfair thing but he couldn't help it. As nice as the guy could be when he wasn't flirting with anything that had a pulse he worried that anything said in front of him might get back to the Boss of this place, "We will have to make more definite plans when you’re back on your feet." He said, giving no real details away for the moment.
Ciaran smiled at Luthor as he agreed to what he had said. "Yes we will have to and don't worry I will be back on my feet faster than we all can think. Also I will think of things as well too," he said as he thought starting to make a list in his head. He would defiantly have to see what good places they could go from Sokan as Ciaran knew that he had traveled a bit before coming here, so he might know of good places.
Luthor nodded before he pushed up to his feet, reaching a hand out he brushed a lock of hair back away from his friend's face, tucking it behind Ciaran's ear, "I will leave you to your meal, get some rest afterwards." He murmured, "If you want company just tell Aden and he can send someone to find me, alright?"
Ciaran was a little sad that Luthor was leavening, but after eating all that fish he did feel a little tired and murred as Luthor brushed and tucked some of his hair behind his ear. "Ok, I will Luthor," he murred as he held back a purr as he could since that if he had done that he might have gotten teased. "I can do that and maybe after I have slept we can talk some more," he answered as he would then have to think of ways to get the Doctor to leave them alone or he might just have to be naughty and leave his bed to have a nice alone chat with Luthor.
There was a smile on the lips of the white haired spawn before he moved away from the bed to allow Ciaran to finish him meal, giving Aden a long look. It was a sort of half glare of warning, he wanted the Doctor to take care of his friend but not flirt with him overly, his look seemed to convey it.
Aden gave a chuckle, not exactly put off by the look before he moved to take up the seat that Luthor had abandoned, "Once your done eating I will check your wounds and vitals and you can rest for as long as you need." He said assuringly to Ciaran, allowing Luthor to leave while he slipped back into caretaker mode.
Ciaran returned that smile with one of his and wasn't all that happy to see him go, but he was just a call away, which was nice this time around and Ciaran was glad that he wasn't locked up in a room of white. Ciaran watched Luthor leave and then gave his attention back to Aden just a little grumpy and have his arm a little scratch as it was a little itchy. "Ok," he said a he was finishing up the last of the meal.

A heated talk with Pepper
Part 1
Ciaran didn't know how long he had been asleep after Luthor’s visit and he had eaten. But he had been told to sleep as much as he needed. Tho he didn't like not knowing what
time it was as it reminded him way to much of his time in that white room.
Looking around the room to see that Aden wasn't in the room, so Ciaran thought he must be taking a smoke brake or something else. As he was glad for that as for now he could fiddle with his bandages as he hated them on his arms. Sitting up in the cot that he was confined to as he started to loosening the bandages on one of his wrists as he also wanted to see if he was going to get scars. Ciaran wasn't paying all that attention if anyone walked it the room.
Pepper had learned of Ciaran's fate in the hospital ward, he had gotten very angry about it...but had refrained from charging in there until after he had spoken with Luthor. Once that was all done he then tried to wait a day to calm down. It hadn't helped much..though he was now leaning against a wall watching Ciaran with narrowed eyes. Waiting for him to wake up..waiting for him to notice him.
A little time had passed has he was still figgleing with his bandages as he looked up again having a feeling that he was being watched. He looked around the room again very carefully and then he did spot Pepper there watching him and he didn't look to happy. But his eyes went really wide with fright as his mind jumped to the other that he had met and having some nightmares with along with explosions. Ciaran started to panic on what he was going to do, but to all that he could thing of was to try and hide. Quickly he jumped out of his cot in attempts to hide on the side of it when he felt some of his stitches in his back tearing and painful at that. But is mind just told him to hide as he huddle on the other side of the cot.
Pepper gave a raised eyebrow, he knew his recent growth was a bit of a surprise...but he didn't think he would go as far to terrify people.
"What are you doing Ciaran?" He asked sounding a bit grouch and confused, though not as angry as he had originally intended as he didn't want to scare the other spawn more. He moved over to where the cot was peering over it trying to figure out what the teen was up too.
Ciaran jumped a little when Pepper asked him a question as he was trying to calm himself as he knew those demons couldn't be here right now and that is was just his friend. Look up to Pepper and he could cleary see that it was his friend and relaxed a little. "Nothing much, you just gave me a little scare. But then I didn't know that you had grown," he said as he tried not to let the other know he was in pain and then Ciaran could feel that he was sligly bleeding to were he tore some of the stitches.
It wouldn't matter that he couldn't tell he was in pain he could smell the blood with a nostril flare.
"Your hurt...get back into bed." he rumbled looking displeased again, "I am not sure what you and Luthor were thinking going off to hell with...with VAMPY of all people. You got some serious explaining to do." He snapped as he reached down to helped Ciaran back onto his feet and steered him to the bed.
Ciaran just gave a sheepish smile as he was told to get back into bed and then got more nervous that Pepper wanted an explanation to why. "Ok," he said meekly as he took Pepper's hand to help him up and got back into bed. "Well that is sorta a long weird story," he said as he knew that he wouldn’t get out of telling it as he tried to organize his thoughts.
Pepper snorted and then bore down on the other spawn, being taller had its advantages. "Yeeeah? Well I am no patience spawn so you better start talking pretty quick here.." he growled. His golden eyes observed the numerous wounds on Ciaran before the glare returned.
Trying to make himself smaller as Ciaran heard Pepper growl as he tried to think of a short way of telling the story. "Well for the short version is that story is that I wanted to see what my magic could do, but I didn't want to hurt anyone in the process as it can be very unpredictable when used in large amounts. So I thought when it was offered that going to hell was a good place to test it out," he said meekly as he saw that Pepper was looking over his wounds and was a little glad that not all of them could be seen.
Pepper gave him a strange look, "you went to see your magic work..." he stated with a raised eyebrow. "despite the fact you were risking your life and Luthor's life and everyone who goddamn went..." He spat looking rather livid.
Ciaran shrank lower into the bed as Pepper was scary when he was angry and this was Ciaran's first time seeing Pepper this angry and nodded to the first comment sheepishly. "I didn't force Luthor to go, tho I should have told him not to go. I know it was a little selfish of me, but I had to know as I don't have strength all I have is magic to protect those I care about," he replied know if something happed he deserve it.
Pepper took a very deep breath and then backed away as if trying to count backwards from ten. It took a good couple of moments to finally calm down before he just looked a bit pissed off rather than furious.
"but...hell? Seriously...you could of just tried something here! I mean...I am sure Vampy has hordes of rooms you could use." He stated exasperately.
Ciaran started to breath fast as he took hold of one of his wrists and started to dig his nails into it as to make sure he didn't start to panic and to calm his mind not to flight mode again. "Well I didn't know and the last time I was in a room here I was locked inside and basically forgotten, I just don't think I could constrate here even if I tried," he answered.
Pepper turned spotting what Ciaran was doing to his wrist and then moved forward to catch ahold of his hand. "What are you doing?" He asked or rather demanded seeing the damage being done there. He never could understand it...he recalled the conversation he had with Ciaran before about the locked room...about hurting himself to be pretty. "Stop that...your hurt enough." He sighed.
Ciaran let out a little meep as Pepper took a hold of his hand as he gave a little resistance from it being taken from him. Giving a nervous swallow as he really hadn't told anyone to what had come from the first time he had cut himself and he knew Pepper would get the answer out of him in the long run. But still didn't like the idea that he was going to tell someone. "To releave my stress," he said quietly. "I know, but it really doesn’t matter if I'm or not. Not many would care," he answered.
Growling Pepper nearly yanked and dragged Ciaran across the bed so that he was almost looming over him. "Stop that. STOP IT." He nearly shouted though he wasn't sure why he was getting so upset about it all. He stared at Ciaran's golden yellow eyes before he pulled the other spawn into a tight hug. "Lots care. I care...Luthor obviously cares..." he stated with a sigh.
Ciaran was a little surprised to being dragged across the bed but not resisting as he knew something was coming. But he wasn't suspecting that he would be told to stop it as no one really had told that to him even to himself. Looking back at Pepper's golden eyes expecting the worse. But was really surprised that he was hugged tight by the other spawn. Regaining himself a little he returned the hug as all of Ciarans emotions came to a head that he had been suppressing for a long time as he gave a little cry as he didn't know what to say as his left him.
If there was something about Pepper he didn't deal with emotions well himself, he struggled with it, tried to understand it. but when it came to others..he just seemed to stumble his way through going on hunches and immediate reactions. He held onto Ciaran tightly as he heard him cry. He burrowed his face into the others purple hair.
"It's okay. Trust me...i'm sorry I yelled..."
Sniffing a little to help gather his thoughts as it had been a long time since he had even cried. "Don't be sorry about yelling as I desered that," he said just staying put. "It just has been so hard to really fully except that others care since my mother abandoned me at the labs with no cares about what would happen as I have feared that I would one day be complety forgotten,"
Pepper layed his chin on top of Ciaran's head. Unsure on how to respond aside from just holding Ciaran. He often felt...alone. Was that why Ciaran was so sad?
"People care.." He repeated firmly, "Don't ever worry about being forgotten. Your...too pretty to be forgotten." He stated as he recalled Ciaran saying he wanted to be pretty.
Relaxing more than he ever did as he had always kept a little wall up on his emotions when around others. "Thank you, Pepper. I have need to hear that, its had been one of my fears for a long time along with if I go insane and never returning to back to normal," he said as it felt so good to finally tell someone about things.

A heated talk with Pepper
Part 2
Pepper feeling Ciaran relax finally loosened his hold on the other. he wasn't sure why...when did he become so touchy feely with people? He guessed he always felt a bit over protective when it came to his friends.
Ciaran really never thought it would be Pepper that would see some of his truer emotions that he didn't want to burden with or even them to worry about him. Tho it did feel nice to say something, maybe he might have to tell Luthor about some of his emotions, maybe not the parts about hurting himself. "I will try to be better, to be stronger and try to stop hurting myself," he said as it was nice to have at least one person that knew.
Realizing that he had been holding onto Ciaran for awhile now the spawn released him and then gave a bit of a cough looking a bit disgrunteled once more. He looked away scratching at one of the rocky patches of his skin on his cheek as if it bothered him.
"Just don't worry me like that again okay?"
Ciaran just smiled. "I won't or at least I won't do anything very stupid again with at least not coming to talk with you first," he replied as he knew that his magic could be dangerous as he had shocked himself on a good number of times. "But once I do get out of here, I still need to take you to know were I live and to meet Sokan too,"
Pepper gave the boy a raised eyebrow wondering why it was so important for him to meet this Sokan person.
"Ah...okay...do you know when you are going to be released?" he inquired a bit deubious that the techs would of even bothered to inform his friend.
"I do think that you might like him as he has been teaching me a few things," he said as he smiled. "I don't know when I'm going to be released as all that I have been told is that I have to stay in bed to heal," Ciaran answered and thought it might be longer now that he had ripped some of his stitches in his back.
Pepper grunted a reply meaning that he understood Ciaran's predicament though he still was a bit sore on the subject of Hell and the goings of to that place. Rubbing the back of his awkwardly he wasn't sure what to do now...besides the fact he had been so angry...he felt like his anger was misguided... or that he still needed to BE angry at someone. Of course..the obvious choice would be Vampy. But...that man was a trifle terrifying.
"I do hope that it wont be too long as I do hate being all wrapped up in these bandages" he said as he gave his arm a little scratch. Ciaran thought for a second as he tried to think of something to say. "I don't think that I did tell that my magic is lighting based." he said and if he did say something already he did tend to be a little forgetful.
It was one of those awkward silence things it always made Pepper antsy and he felt awkward when they occurred. He looked a bit startled when Ciaran mentioned that his magic was lightning based...he wasn't sure if that was new information to him or not...so he just nodded his head and then scratched his cheek again.
"Oh? And you were trying to test your limits or something?"
"Yes I was. Well I do know that I can arc my magic around things if I constrate without some of it rebounding back towards me. So the demons got to feel it at more or less I think full power of what I can do right now. Tho I think that my magic could be stronger if it was a little more predicable, " he said as he could remember most of the time he used his magic up until he went insane and those memories were a little fuzzy. "So what type of magic can you use?
A bit surprised as the conversation turned to him he scratched at his cheek again. Recalling the list of things Vampy had been trying to teach him, starting from the complex runes and such and all he could manage to do was cause them to explode. What would you categorize that?
"Uh well... I guess me going in dreams is a magic of sorts.." he state with a shrug. A bit of a lame trick if you asked him.
"And Vampy's been trying to teach me things...though its not going well.."
Listening to what his friend had to say and he did find it interesting going into dreams and seeing what others were dreaming about good or bad. "I think that is niffty going into dreams. I bet that you see lots of different types of things," he said as he gave a little shudder at Vampy and magic going together. "Well I know it takes alots of practice. As when I use mine in large amounts it tends to want to shock me instead of were I want it to go. So I do shock myself a good numbers of times when I practice. One day it will all work out."
Pepper nodded his head at the first comment, he did see a lot of unusual things. "Yeah well..its cool until the wraiths come..then its kinda annoying.." he stated with another shrug. "Vampy is a good teacher..strick and hardheaded but he knows what he is doing..unfortunately..." He stated with a sigh. He couldn't agrue about practicing. He just didn't want to have to practice with the Boss man himself. "Just don't push yourself too hard..." He cautioned, "I'm made of tougher stuff than you." he snickered.
"They might be annoying but its something that you can handle very well," he replied as Ciaran knew his friend was strong. Ciaran just couldn't picture Vampy being a good teacher as in his mind it was just very weird. "Well that’s good I guess," he said as it still gave him the willies as it was sorta Vampy fault that he was here. "I won't, I normally stop practicing once I have given myself a good shock," Ciaran said with a half smile. "That is true. I was tought as you I wouldn't be here," he replied with a giggle.
Pepper gave the other sly grin though he shrugged off the compliment. "Yeah well...if you ran into as many walls as I did as a kid you build up quite a pain tolerance." He stated trying to lighten the mood.
"That is true, I think that I just read lots of book when I was a kid," he said as he really couldn't remember if he did or not. "Tho I have gotten sorta use to the tingling feeling shocking myself leaves, but one think I do wonder if I could store it in other object and when touched by someone it would give them a shock," he said with a sly grin as it would be another way to get the techs back. "There is one thing that I might want to do is open up a specitialy candy shop or even learn how to make my own candies,"
Pepper gave a chuckle as the conversation turned to candy shops.
"Well I am sure you can do it if you put your mind to it. " he commented as he then took Ciaran's hand in his own curiously.
"Hey shock me. I am morbidly curious to how it feels." He stated.
Ciaran had to smile at his change of subject as it was what popped into his mind and he really hadn't said anything to anyone except that opening up a place like that would be a good idea. "That is true, but that is something in the future as I need to learn how to make candy first," he replied. Ciaran was a little apersenice on Peppers wanting him to shock him, but then thought that he wasn't near full strength to hurt anyone with his magic. "If that is what you want," he replied as he grasped Peppers hand. It took Ciaran a little bit of constration to get his magic to work. But he was able to get some of it to arc from his hand to give Pepper a mild shock that was more or less like a big static shock that lingered a little longer and Ciaran felt it a little too as it found some of his open sores to shock back.
Pepper felt the crack of electricity hit his fingers and he gave a sharp intake of breath that turned into a hiss. It had startled him really as he shook his fingers to get rid of the strange after feeling that he felt in them.
"Wow remind me not to piss you off." he stated as he looked at his hand. He figured that the shock wasn't full strength but egads.
gave his had a little shake to get the feeling to supside as well. He was a little afraid to use his magic at full strength as of right now he didn't know what would happen if it would hit the target or go off randomly as in hell he didn't use his full strength of it. "Well don't worry, I don't get mad all that often so there is nothing to worry about," he said with a smile.
Pepper laughed and nodded his head before giving Ciaran a smile. "You should go see Luthor sometime soon, I can tore into him as well..." He stated sounding not one bit sorry about it,
Ciaran laught too as it was true as he really couldn't see himself getting really pissed off over something, but it maybe could be possable. "I will," he answered with a nod. "Maybe I should tell him something we talked about," he added but really didn't know how Luthor would take to knowing about cutting himself for stress relief.
Pepper shifted a bit and then swung his legs back and forth a moment. "Well its best to be honest with people..." He stated with a nod of his head ." I dunno it just seems the best thing to do.
"That is true and better not to have not so nice surprises later in life or having you very angry. That is scary enough. As that is very good advice," he said as he thought how he was going to say things to Luthor as they were aquared enough to admit them to himself and to Pepper.
Pepper nodded his head and then went to stand up. He looked down to Ciaran before offering him another of his goofy looking smiles. "Well I should leave you alone you need to rest." He stated with a nod of his head.
Ciaran smiled back in return as it was nice to talk with Pepper even if it was scary at first and he was feeling better with the talk too. "Ok, I will make sure to come and visit with ya before I get out of this place," he said with a nod as Ciaran knew if he didn't he would be in trouble.
"Yeah you better or I'll have to hunt you down in your dreams." He teased as he stuck his tongue out at him. He figured it was time to let his friend rest. Sides he wanted to go give another harsh talking to Luthor.
"True to that, I can't hide from you in there. I know you would find me in there," he answered with a large smile. "See you laters and take care,"
Giving another nod of his head he tossed Ciaran a wave before he went to move off to find his next victim of rants.
Ciaran waved Pepper good-bye until he left and once gone, Ciaran eventually went back to sleep.

Telling a found secret
Part 1
Have been up thinking for a little for a while to how he was going to tell Luthor to some of the things that happened with Pepper. As Pepper said that it would be good to be truthful to those you care for. It was just hard as it was something that he didn't admit to himself until he was stopped, which made Ciaran think lots about it. So he was just a little fidgety as he thought as it didn't help that he wasn't aloud to walk around to help him think, which aggravated him more. His tail tip wiggling as he thought then sorta cleared his thoughts. "Heya, Aden could I talk with Luthor?"
Aden gave him a long look from where he was sitting, "Can I trust that you will behave?" He asked, he'd come back from a break not long ago and had to stitch the teen up yet again and he was able tempted to leave it so the boy was in solitary until he healed but given he said that he was alone so long in the white room he'd talked about, "If you think that you can make it through the meeting without getting yourself hurt I might be able to allow another visit."
Ciaran looked around innocently about what had happened with Pepper. "Yes I can. I couldn't help that Pepper scared the crap out of me," he answered as he wasn't going to say to why he had gotten scared. "It won't happen again, Aden. I promise you that," he added.
He gave him a long stare before he patted him on the head, "If you do I will punish you with kisses." He told him, sticking his tongue out at the boy. He walked over to the door that led out into the hallway and called for a tech, giving him his orders, waved, then stepped back into the room once more, "Alright, she is goanna fetch him for us. Just give her a few minutes."
Ciaran wasn't planning on hurting himself anymore than he was already even if he did a few times after Pepper left to find something sharp to relieve his stress, but from what Pepper had said and done had kept him from doing so. So he just stuck his tongue out to resipicate that he wouldn't need a punishment. "Ok," he replied with a nod. Now he would just have to think of a way for him and Luthor to be alone.
It was a short time later when Luthor appeared to the summons of his friend, having been rather close by as he was stalking the area, wanting to look in on Ciaran but at the same time not wanting to bother his friend if he were sleeping. Hearing from the tech that Ciaran was awake and looking for him made him head in his direction eager, wings flapping behind him as he made his way to the Hospital Wing, sliding to a halt at the door then stepped inside, "Ciaran?" He murmured, walking over to him, "Hey, how are you?"
"Heya, Luthor!" he said sitting up just a little more in the bed. "I'm doing good, despite hurting myself a little bit when Pepper came and visited me," he replied as he motioned to Luthor to sit next to him. Also gathering the courage to ask Aden if he would leave them alone for a little bit. "Heya Aden could you leave us alone for a little bit, I really promise to be good," he said as nicely as he could.
Aden looked at the pair before he gave a slow nod, "Don't let him do anything dangerous, Luthor." He told the white haired spawn before he headed out. This would give him time to get a cigarette if nothing else.
Luthor watched him go before he moved to take up the seat that was near to Ciaran's bed, dragging it closer to him, "You go hurt by Pepper visiting? Are you alright?" He asked, sounding quite worried over his friend's well being.
"Well he scared the crap out of me by just lurking at the door until I spotted him and thought of the other Pepper and the explosion that landed me here," he answered and for the fact that he was having nightmares about that explosion and the one weird dream of a white room. "I'm all right. I just tore some of my stitches in my back as I tried to hide. But I be glad that you are here, in any case," he added trying to say what he wanted to say.
Luthor gave him a worried sort of look before giving a little nod of his head, "So long as you’re alright now." He was sure that by now Aden must have fixed him back up which was nice. He shifted as he reached into his pocket, taking out a deep, dark colored gem and set to fiddling with it in an unconscious manner, "I hope it didn't add to much time to how long you’re going to have to stay here."
"I am," Ciaran said in a reassuring measure. "I don't think it was all that bad. On one of Aden checks he found it and fixed it up. Tho if I do get hurt again I don't think that I will hear the end of it or him trying to give me kisses as punishment. But I don't plan on getting hurt more," he said as he thought that Aden was a good man if a little strange in Ciaran's book. "I hope too as I want to very muchly get out of here," he added as he saw that Luthor was playing with something. "So what are you playing with there," Ciaran asked as he pointed to the dark gem.
Luthor prickled a little at the idea that Aden was threatening Ciaran with kisses, man he wanted to give that guy a serious kicking some days... and he would if it weren't for the fact that he was the only semi decent guy around this place other then his family. He shook his head to clear his momentarily violent thought and he lowered his head down to looking at the gem, starring at it, "Ahh... its... a jewel I picked up recently." He murmured, running his thumb over the surface of it, "Its... important."
Ciaran looked it over just a little more as it did sorta remind him of the beads that were made by a gluttony spawn that had help him make that keychain he gave to his friend. "Well if you want it in a setting of some kind, were it cant get lost. I know of a spawn that is a wiz at anything artsy, a gluttoy/chasity by the name of Dritan. Maybe in one of our outings I can take you to meet him and have that jewel set, that is if you want to,"
He looked very uncertain, "I... maybe, I can't risk it getting damaged in anyway." He said, looking up at Ciaran then down at the jewel as he stroked his fingers over it again thoughtfully. He didn't want to considered what could happen in the jewel was damaged given what it consisted of, what was wrapped and kept safe inside of it.
"I'm sure there are ways of setting it in something that wont damage it but keep you from losing it. I have seen jewelry were the main piece is wrapped up in metal but still freely moves around in the metal setting. At least just meet him and I'm sure he can give you advice on how even you can do something. He was the one that help me make the keychain that I gave to you," Ciaran said reassuringly as he could tell that it was special to his friend but didn't know to why. He shrugged that thought off as if Luthor was going to tell him he would and he wasn't going to pry.
"Ahh... I will think on it." He murmured, giving Ciaran a smile before he settled back into his chair. A part of him wanted to leaned over on his friend again to look for comfort the way his friend had given it last time but he didn't feel as though he should always be bothering Ciaran in such a way. The other spawn had his own problems after all and he didn't need to be burdened with all of what Luthor had done in his life time in the name of allowing Pepper to remain innocent and naive.
Ciaran had now started to get a little fidgety as he was struggling with himself and to what Pepper told him echoing in his head. Itching his arm a little as he was trying to figure out away to say something, as it was hard as he didn't know how Luthor would take it. "Luthor there is something that I want to talk with you but as of right now only Pepper knows it as it was something that happened when we were both talking the other day. But I don't want others to find out about it," he said still a little nervous about the whole thing.
Luthor lifted his gaze to look over at his friend, tilting his head to the side, "Oh?" He asked, looking a little curious if perhaps a little worried. He wondered what Ciaran had to tell him, after his last talk with Pepper he was pretty sure that it could be most anything... people had a lot of secrets and the ones closest to him made him worry the most about what those secrets were, "You know you can tell me anything, I am not one to spread the secrets I learn." As much as he wished there were someone he could share his secrets with... he shook his head at the thought to get rid of it.
Fiddling with his fingers as it was hard enough to admit it to Pepper but then he was a little scary then too. "Thanks, but if you need to talk about something I will listen to you too," he said as that what friends were for to help and comfort those they cared for and taking a deep breath before he began. "Well you know to how and why I went crazy for the first time, well there was a side effect from all of that," he started to say as he was trying very hard to squish the feeling of wanting to cut himself to relieve the stress. "It was something that I didn't even admit to myself it was happening until Pepper saw what I was doing and stopped me and made me start to admit that when I get stressed out and before I start to go insane I would cut myself to relieve that stress and I would hide the signs that I was doing it within the scars I already had from the first time I did it," he said nervous to what would happen next.
Luthor's eyes widened a little and he gave the smallest of nods as he processed the information that Ciaran had given to him. He blinked a couple times then reached out to lay his hand on top of one of his friend's hands, giving it a little squeeze before he lifted it up so he could get the back of it a kiss. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to say at this moment, what he should do. The idea that Ciaran hurt himself in such a manner was worrisome, more so that he claimed to be his friend and was completely blind to his suffering, "I am sorry, Ciaran." He murmured, "I... am not sure what I should say... I don't think anything I could would make it better but... its alright, it couldn't turn me away from you Ciaran." He said finally.
Ciaran started to cry a little and smiled as it was very nice to have others that care for him to were he could be open with them as that had been destroyed when his mother had left him in the Labs so after that he really didn't fully trust anyone. Ciaran wanted to cuddle his friend more than what Aden would allow so Ciaran pulled Luthor in closer to were he could hug him the best he could. "You don't need to be sorry, Luthor. As it was a dirty little secret that I even kept from myself as I thought it was a good thing to help with the stress as that is what I kept telling myself. It wasn't until Pepper yelled at me to stop it did I realize that it was something bad. It was something else that I didn't want to burden with others either," he said his tail slowly twitched. "It also goes along with my fear of being forgotten and really not trusting anyone to the fullest, well until now because I have you and Pepper that I can fully trust. Well just listening to me makes it a little better,"
The white haired spawn wrapped his arms and wings carefully around Ciaran, not wanting to aggravate any of his injuries but wanting to sooth him at the same time, "Of course, I will always be here if he you need me, I will listen and do what I can for you just as I would for Pepper and my Dad. You are one that means a lot to me, Ciaran." He told his friend, giving him a smile.
Ciaran hugged his friend back not wanting to let go as he layed his head on the side of Luthor's head as he thought the hell with Aden as he would just give that those kisses of his full of feathers if he tried. "That’s good," he murred "But I will always be here for you too Luthor as you mean a lot to me and for the things you have done for me too," he said thinking of all the things that his friend had done for him.
Luthor gave a little smile as he held his friend in his arms, wishing there were something more he could do for him, to ease his pain. While he knew he might be able to help to heal him he also knew he needed to be careful with his power. When it came to his friends and family his powers weren't something he wanted to use often unless it needed to be done, "Thank you, Ciaran." There were things he wished he could get off his chest but he also knew the dangers that came with the secrets he'd collected over the years, things he didn't want others to know so they could remain innocent of them.
Ciaran started to purr a little as he sorta wished that it wouldn't end. He wished that he could do more for Luthor as he knew that he wasn't a good liar but maybe he thought there could be someway of helping him, Ciaran just have to think on it. "Your welcome, as I like to see you happy and when I get out we will do lots of fun things and get you to experience new things too," he said as he nestled part of his face in Luthor's hair as it always felt so nice and it smelt nice too, he thought.

Telling a found secret
Part 2
"I look forward to it; more time out side of this place would likely be good for me. The longer I stay here I fear the more I am becoming like... like the one blood donor." He grumbled, seeming to relax as Ciaran nuzzled against his hair. It was a relaxing feeling much like when Pepper did that or when he chewed on him, it was something that made him feel better, more like himself. He didn't want to see himself as being as bad off as that man...
Ciaran did have to chuckle a little as it was funny Luthor comparing himself with the demons and angels. Ciaran did want to take care of Luthor the best that he could to show him the wonderful sites outside of the Labs to see the beauty. "Well in fact that you aren’t one of them, but I do know how you feel about being here all the time. Its not a nice place and sometimes I even dream about it. But there always is going to be a light at the end of the tunnel with the good and the bad as you travel. But I will be here to support you the best way I can. I promise that," he said as he was going to work hard to he his magic to behave more to protect those special to him.
Luthor gave a smile, "I really... don't want to be like him... maybe its being cooped up here to long, making me go a little off in the head." He murmured, "The only place I have been other then here since I got back from staying with you was Hell and... well its not exactly the best place to go for a vacation." He gave Ciaran a gentle nuzzle as he said that, after all that place was dark and dangerous... to many people had gotten hurt there and it made him pray they never went back.
"You aren't like him and never will be. You are much too nice and you care for others and which I don't he does beside on how it benefits him." He said reassuring. "Well you are right about that, I can think of a few other places that are much more pleasant." Ciaran murred as he thought of some places that Sokan had told him about especially places with warm oceans. "So we do need to plan on what type of things you would like to see or do once I get out to where we know were to go,"
It was nice to hear Ciaran say, that he wasn't like Vampy, he wouldn't be like him. He did have a point about his actually having a nice streak in him as well as caring for people other then himself. That was something that Vampy would never have or ever understand, "Thank you." He murmured, drawing back just a little so as to let his friend rest. He didn't want to cling to him for to long or exhaust him.
"That sounds nice, I would rather we plan for fun things and where are going to go." He agreed after Ciaran was feeling better. He was certain that he would follow his friend anywhere... though he wasn't sure how long he could stay away, "I can't stay gone to long, I don't know if everyone would remain safe if I were gone." He was going to make himself ill worrying so much about Pepper and Almas, but he didn't trust Vampy not to mess with them if he were away to long.
"Your welcome!," he said as felt Luthor pull away that he nuggled his hair one last time as Ciaran really didn't want Luthor to leave but just grumped about it in his head as he didn't like the restriction put on him to heal.
"Ok we can do that, I have a few places in mind that I haven't even been to that sound like fun," he said as the thought of going to the beach or maybe seeing a funny movie. "Then we can just plan the trips for at least a days worth of fun, so were everyone stays safe," Ciaran said as it was good to first take baby steps on doing lots of fun stuff and maybe later on take longer trips as seen fit.
"What sorts of places do you have in mind?" He asked, he had seen so little of the world outside the Labs that everything was still basically new to him. That Ciaran had some ideas made him so curious that it had his wings flapping behind him in an eager fashion.
“Well Sokan once told me about his home and that one of his favorite places was a beach near his home, but since that place is way to far away to go to I thought we could go to one of the beaches here and play in the sand and in the waves too. Or another place that I was thinking of was to see if there was a current funny movie in the theaters and go and see it," he answered as he like those fluttering wings as they were just so cute. "Another thing we could do is go shopping and go out to a nice place to eat," he added as the list could go on of the simple places that Ciaran had seen other people take for granted for being able to do them all the time, unlike his friend that really couldn't, but Ciaran was going to change that as much as he could.
"Those places sound nice." He murmured, closing his eyes as he pictured what sounded like such peaceful places to spend a day or two, ones that he wanted to visit, he gave a smile as he opened his eyes, "Well we will need to decide upon which one that we want to go to first though. I kind of like the idea of the beach though... I can't really swim." It was among the many skills, likely useful ones that he hadn't been able to learn where he lived.
"That they do," he replied as he thought of all the nice water sounds an ocean has. "I like that idea too," he said and then he giggled. 'Well that is something I don't know how to do either. So it something that we can learn together," he added with a sheepish grin. "There are plenty of places that I haven't gone to or have forgotten. Tho another neat place would be going to the zoo to see all different types of animals,"
Luthor tilted his head to one side, looking rather curious about the idea of the zoo. It was hard at times to believe that he was as old as he was given how innocent he could be about some things. He gave a slight nod of his head, "That could be neat." He murmured, the only animals he'd seen in his life time were either demonic or from a distance. To see other ones from closer up could be a lot of fun really.
Ciaran had to smile as it was cute to see Luthor tilt his head to the side when he was curious maybe he did something like that Ciaran thought. "It could, but we have lots of time to go and do everything we wants to do and see and sometimes we can have Pepper come with too, that is if you want to," he suggested as it would be lots of fun to see Peppers reactions to the Zoo.
"I am sure he would be more open to do things now, which will be nice." He murmured, looking for a moment thoughtful, handing going to touch the gem he had tucked away in his pocket again before seemed to perk up, "Either way, the two of us or as a group, it would be nice to get out and about."
"That good a mad Pepper is sorta scary," he said as he hadn't ever seen Pepper mad or any of his friends so it was a first for him. "Yes it would be very nice and not have to worry about wandering techs and such," he added as it was nice to zap the techs but they did have ears even when you didn't want them to, Ciaran thought.
"Yeah, I prefer it when he has that happy, I just did something awesome and I have to tell you all about it grin on his face." He murmured, giving a smile of his own, "I will do whatever it takes to keep him look like that." Those words held a promising tone to them.
"Yeah, the best part will be those Techs not being underfoot. At times I feel as though they are following me around like they want a piece of me for their experiments. It really is annoying..." He gave a grumbling sound just at the thought of it.
"I do too as I don't want to see Pepper mad at me again. Tho I do need to take him over to were I live so he knows were to find me," he said as he also thought of him meeting Sokan and wondered to what his reaction would be. Ciaran smiled as he could hear that promise with in Luthor's voice. "That is always a good thing to and I want to keep you happy by healing quickly and not try not to get into trouble," he added as Luthor was right about those techs. "Well I think that some of them want to see me go crazy again, but that sounds even more annoying. I can always give those techs a zap for ya," Ciaran said with a sly smile.
There was a chuckle from Luthor, "Sounds good, I am sure most of them deserve a shock, or worse." He said, resting comfortably in the chair now, arms crossing behind his head as he seemed to be relaxing as he spoke with Ciaran. There were few that Luthor felt like he could really relax around, few he knew enough to know he could trust them and Ciaran was one of those few.
Ciaran smile as he started to purr slightly as that was something he did when he was very content and with those he trued. "It even funnier when they don't know who is giving those shocks when I hid myself. Sometimes there reaction is so funny that its hard to keep myself concealed," he said as he remembered one time a tech had jump a mile high and ran as fast a he could away from him. "Well if one of them do tick me off good enough they just might get worse. As getting shocked doesn't feel that well in large amounts. Maybe one time you should come with me to see some of the reactions they give," he added as it would be loads of fun especially with Pepper with them.
"I might have to come alone for that game, normally I just do my best to ignore then but it would be fun to be able to see them getting shocked." Aside from the times he went with Pepper to chase them when they were younger he had tried his best to just not associate with those people. For some reason being Almas's sons got the pair of them looked down upon worse then normal and it annoyed him like nothing else. His father was a good person and should be treated as such, "Yeah, a lot of fun really."
"Good we can make it a great game with lots of hilarity," Ciaran said, but for the most part he did leave the techs alone. Sometimes is was too tempting not to tho and to teach those annoying techs there place as some of them got big heads. "So when you think of other places you want to visit or ideas just tell me and we can do it or work something out,"
"I will need to think on other places that we should visit. Its to bad there isn't like... a book or something that could tell us where we should try." He murmured in a thoughtful manner, that would be so very helpful in deciding he thought to himself.
"I do know there are books on different places to visit around the world, but for more local stuff if I remember right are usually pamphlets that you can sometimes find around town," he said as he tried to think of someplace to were those could be found. He would have to ask Sokan about those or find some on his own to bring back to Luthor.

Telling a found secret
Part 3
He gave a nod of his head, "We should see about finding some of those on one of our outings so we can find more places that we want to go." He said, seeming to be quite pleased with the fact that there was in fact the sort of thing that he had been thinking about in existence. He most certainly wanted to find both the local information and beyond that, for when he was able to go on a longer vacation then just for the day.
“When I get back to my place I will have to see what Sokan knows and to what I can find and if we do find some of that information when we have an outing," he said as he thought of all the fun they both could have. "So the first outing we should be the beach as it sounds the funest right now, how does that sound with you?"
"Thank you and thank Sokan for me as well." Luthor murmured, seeming quite happy over the idea that Ciaran was going to do all that. He gave a quick nod of his head as well as a fluttering of his wings, "Yes, I think the beach would be a lot of fun if we did that first."
"I will," Ciaran replied very content that there would be lots of fun adventures ahead of them, which helped him with his feelings of not wanting to be in all of these bandages. "Ok we will do that as then I can find out the different things that can be done there beside just swimming and playing in the sand, even tho those do sound fun," he relied as he was also getting excited as he would be doing something that he had ever done before and get to do it with his best friend too.
Luthor was rather excited about the up and coming trip, he wanted to help in some way so he would see about asking his Dad or maybe even Aden about what else one should plan for a trip to the beach. He wasn't sure how useful either of them would really be but they were the only ones that he could think about talking with about something like this. Everyone else around was either probably to young or they wouldn't give him advice any sooner then they would talk with him due to who and what he was.
"I can't wait." He murmured, wings fluttering again.
Ciaran started to make mental notes of what things he would have to ask Sokan when he got back and some advice as well. "Well I just thought of something that after the beach if we aren’t too tired we could also go to a nice place and eat that is located near or on the beach," he said as it was something he just remembered hearing about. "I can't wait either," he added as he was very excited and just wanted to heal faster.
"That would be nice, getting to eat out anywhere other then the cafeteria would be an nice change of pace." He said with a smile, then lifted his hand to lay it over one of Ciaran's, "How are feeling?" He asked of his friend, "Are you tired?" They had been talking for some time and he was worried that he would exhaust his friend when he needed to relax and rest to heal up.
“
That it would, tho the food here isn't all that bad. Just a little boring." Ciaran said as he thought of the interesting foods that Sokan would make and even teaching him how to make. Maybe sometime he would have to make Luthor a meal, but at a later time he thought to himself. "I'm doing good," Ciaran answered with a little lie, but he just didn't want Luthor to leave just yet. "Not yet, so don't worry," he said as he scratched him head thinking some more.
Luthor nodded in agreement, all the best foods in this place were the ones that were ordered in from various places so he was eager to see what else they could at the place Ciaran mentioned. He tilted his head to the side when Ciaran mentioned that he was doing good, watching him closely, "How about you lay back and relax while we talk?" He suggested, scooting his chair closer so that even if Ciaran laid down they would still be near enough that they could touch hands. Having grown up with Pepper as a friend he was just as hands on as the dark haired spawn was as a result.
Ciaran nodded as laying down did sound nice as he was starting to hurt a little from sitting up and was a little grumpy inside his head as he just wanted to leave this place and do thing with his friend. So he slowly layed down to make sure not to show that he was in a little pain. Once laying down and saw that Luthor moved in closer and touched one of Luthor's hands. "So is there anything else we want to talk about beside on planning things out?"
The white haired spawn seemed glad to see Ciaran laying down as he was and he laced his fingers with those of his friend, "Other things to talk about?" He murmured, something instantly came to mind and he was tempted to speak of it but was sure how to approach the subject. Maybe they would talk of that when they weren't in the Labs, far away from the eyes and ears that reported to Vampy he decided as he gave his friend a squeeze, "Not sure."
Ciaran murred as he gave Luthor’s hand a little squeeze with a smile. "Ok, well we can always just sit here. I like being around you even if we aren’t talking. There will be other times to talk as much as we want," he said.
"I will stay here if you like while you rest." He offered, not having a lot to do today himself he figured it should be alright for him to stay where he was with his friend. No reason to wander off if he could look after Ciaran while he slept, it would likely make him feel better as he rather liked to look after his friends.
"Ok, that is really nice of ya to do that. I hope that it isn't going to take up your time," he said as he really didn't want to be a burden to his best friend as he felt that it wouldn't be far to do that if he wanted to do other things as he has already taken some of Luthor’s time today.
The white haired spawn gave a little shake of his head, "Naw, I don't have to terribly much to do other then look after those I care about. Since your one of them its alright for me to do doing just that." He gave Ciaran a smile, not wanting for the other spawn to worry. In fact he wanted for him to rest and relax, to get to feeling better, "I will be here when you wake up so you sleep for as long as you need."
Ciaran gave a smile as he thought that was very kind of Luthor. "Thanks and I will we have much fun to do once I get all healed up," he replied as he did feel much better for Luthor being there and didn't have to worry to much about Aden being himself. "I'm glad your once of my best friends," he said as he gave Luthor’s hand a squeeze as he drifted off to sleep.
One of his best friends, it was a title that Luthor found to be rather nice and one that made him smile. He leaned back in his chair, fingers laced with Ciaran's as he watched his friend sleep. Ciaran, like Pepper and Almas, was one of those that he wanted to protect. He'd done a poor job of it thus far but he was going to try harder from now on he thought to himself giving a bit of a smile as he realized the first one he was going to have to protect him against was Aden.

Getting free after growing more
Part 1
Waking up with a little fright as he had been dreaming of that white room again but he was glad that there hadn't been anyone there talking to him, but he still hated white rooms that had nothing in them. Still very groggy as he tried to breathe deep to calm himself down and found that it was very hard to do so and it even hurt more than when he had broken his ribs. Opening his eyes fully he found that he had grown in the night and all of his bandages were very constricting on him and painful. "Help Luthor," he said as he sat up in his bed as he was trying to get the bandages off and falling miserably and started to panic more. "Please help me, Luthor," he said very loudly as he squirmed in trying to get the bandages off and managed to wiggle enough to make a large crashing noise as he fell out of bed trying to get the bandages off.
Luthor came away with a jolt, wings flapping rapidly as he looked around from side to side, confused, "What...? Ciaran?" He looked from side to side, trying to figure out where his friend had gone before looking down at him and his eyes went rather wide, "Ah! Ciaran!" He squeaked, sliding out of his seat so that he could reach out to him, "Are you alright? Did you fall?" He asked, wondering if Ciaran had rolled out of bed and hurt himself again. It wasn't until he was kneeling near him that he realized that Ciaran was much bigger since the two of them had dozed off...
Tail flailing around has he struggled, but stopped when he heard Luthor looked at him and asked him a question and was breathing fast too. "I'm all right, but could you help me get these bandages off as they are way too tight and I'm having a hard time getting them off," he said as he did finally manage to find one of the ends of the bandages on his arm and started to undo it.
He looked him over then nodded, reaching his hands out and set to work undoing the bandages around Ciaran's middle, doing so quickly so that he could save him, not wanting for the bandages to crush him or make it so he was unable to breath, "Are you alright? How is that?" He asked as he set to pulling them free, "Can you breath?" He tossed the bandages aside as he got them off his friend. He looked a little worried himself, hoping that he was able to get him untangled fast enough that the other wasn't hurting to much.
Once the bandage around his middle was gone he took a deep breath and calmed down some more as he finally got the off the one he was working on off and when onto the other one freeing his other arm much quicker now that he could think. "I'm alright and its nice to breath easer too and thanks. Luthor," he answered. As he looked at the scars on his chest. "Well I guess that I could have been off worse," he said as he rubbed the larger scar that slightly tickled as he felt it and then he blushed as he now figured out that his pants were too tight now as well. "Um, Luthor do you think you might have some pants I can borrow, as mine are too small..." he said a little mumble as he was a little embarrassed about it but it was better Luthor than Aden right now.
Luthor nodded, pushing up to his feet, "Aden has one of his coats around here that you can use while I get you something else, bigger to wear." He said, moving over through the darkened area to the door and the hooks that held a couple of the Doctors lab coats on them. He reached up to take one before he hurried back over to his friend's side, holding it out to him, "Here you go, you can cover yourself with this." He told him before he turned around to give Ciaran his privacy.
Ciaran nodded as Luthor when to get the lab coat and brought it back for him, tho Ciaran didn't like it as it had sleeves. "Thanks," he answered as he took the coat from Luthor. Standing up to get his pants off as he struggled a little bit on getting then off but after a little bit they came off and letting them fall to the floor as it felt good to be rid of everything that had been too tight as he gave himself a quick look over to see all of his new scars. Then he put the lab coat on and buttoned it all the way up. Ciaran tugged at the sleeves as he didn't like the feeling of them. "Lets get out of here before Aden is any of the wiser," Ciaran said as he touched his friends shoulder.
Luthor gave a bit of a chuckle, "Ahh... yeah, you walking around without pants would be something that would make him far too happy." He said, taking Ciaran's hand in his, lacing their fingers together so he could lead the way out of the hospital ward and into the hall, he looked back and forth before he started forward in the direction of where the rooms he shared with his family were located. He just had to get Ciaran there and he could get his friend some of the clothing that was there for him to wear, "How are you feeling? Are you wounds feeling better? Mine became just scars when I grew."
Ciaran blushed even more at that comment as it was very true fact. "That it would and I would rather it not happen and he might even be more turned on that I'm also wearing one of his coats, too," he said as he thought of the image and shivered slightly as Ciaran thought Aden was a nice guy but he didn't think of him in any other way. Smiling when Luthor laced his fingers with his and let Luthor lead the way as he hardly knew his way around. "I'm feeling better I don't hurt any longer and I think they are scars now too tho they are slightly itchy," he answered as he looked around to make sure all of his noise hadn't alerted Aden.
Luthor's wings gave a stiff sort of flap at the idea that Aden might try to bother Ciaran to much in his current state, the thought annoyed him greatly and he picked up the pace a little in hopes of getting far enough along that Aden wouldn't know where the two of them had escaped to, "I wouldn't let him bother you, I promise." He told Ciaran, looking over his shoulder to give him a bit of a reassuring smile. Of course it would have seemed a lot more dramatic if he didn't go crashing into someone as he spoke so bravely.
"Hrm... where are the two of you wandering off to so late... and without pants?" Aden asked as he looked Ciaran over and then Luthor as well. Between the two young men they had one outfit between them with Ciaran running around in a coat and Luthor running around in just pants, he had to admit it was a rather delightful sight to behold.
Ciaran nodded to Luthor and gave his had a squeeze as he knew he could trust Luthor. But once hearing Aden speak did Ciaran did blush brightly as his gray skin would let him and his mind sorta started to panic. "Ummmm.....nothing much..." he stammered as he tried to figure a way out of this and out of here as he looked around. "We were just going to go for a walk as I couldn't sleep," he added still very nervous. "Sorry if I woke you,"
Aden looked between the pair in a curious manner, "I... see..." He gave a bit of a smirk, "Yes... half dressed walks always are the best thing for when your unable to sleep." He said in a teasing manner. He was thinking the pair were up to more then they were, wondering if that was why they were sneaking off. Well he couldn't very well blame them, not as though he wouldn't do the same exact thing given the chance, "Don't strain yourselves."
Luthor gave a grumbling sound, almost able to read the Doctor's mind and it made him want to pummel the man into the wall for thinking such things, "Yeah... come on Ciaran, lets finish our walk." He said, wanting to put room between his friend and the pervy minded Doctor.
Still blushing as he could figure out to what the Doctor was thinking as it was quite enough to be caught with no pants on. "Ummm..." he stammered as he could think straight as his mind was going all over the place and to were he couldn't say much. "Ok," he answered Luthor. "Faster the better," he added with a whisper as he wanted to think correctly again.
"I'm sorry, Ciaran... I wasn't fast enough to get you to my room before he saw you." Luthor murmured, wings giving a flutter behind him in an annoyed fashion. He hadn't wanted for that to happen but it would seem as though Aden were magnetize to someone without pants he thought to himself crossly. He looked over his shoulder to check on his friend, "You alright?" He asked of his friend in a hopeful manner.
"Its ok, it could have been a lot worse. So this wasn't too bad," he said as he could think of some worse things about him walking in when he wasn't wearing anything at all. As he walked along with Luthor and hoped that they wouldn't run into any of the techs or they just might get a little shock if it works. "I'm alright, I just wanted to get away from him as I couldn't think straight and I'm just itchy," he said as he kept a hold of Luthor’s hand.
Luthor gave his friend's hand a little squeeze before he continued along toward the rooms he and his family shared, "We will have to be quiet, my Dad might be sleeping." He murmured, opening up the door and peeked inside first. He looked around, eyes slightly narrowed and then slipped inside. There was the main room which was set up somewhat like a dining room, then two other rooms. One was where he and sometimes Pepper slept while the other was where Almas slept, "We will go to my room and close the door so we don't wake him up... Pepper might be inside so we will need to check under the bed for him." That or he was out doing a late night Tech hunt... could be either with him.

Getting free after growing more
Part 2
Ciaran murred a little at his hand being squeezed as he listened to what Luthor had to say. "Ok," he replied as he didn't want to be rude to Almas or attract more attention to the fact that he has no pants on. Following Luthor into the rooms and being quite as he walked and make sure he made little sound as he could. "Sounds like a plan and ok," he answered softly. Tho Ciaran hope that Pepper was out as he was embarrassed enough from Aden he didn't need anymore.
Luthor made a quick search of the room, checked in all of Pepper's normal hiding spots before giving Ciaran an 'all clear' motion with his hand, "Just close the door and lock it if you want to." He told his friend, plopping down on the edge of his bed, stretching out all over before flopping back on it, "Ahh... that's nice, far better then that chair I was sleeping in." He gave a flap of his wings so as not to squish them to much, always forgetting about them until he laid on them or rolled over onto them and then smiled, "Mmm... Ah! Right... clothes."
The white haired spawn pushed to his feet and went over to dig around through his dresser, holding up a couple pairs of pants, "You can try these on, see if either fits right." He told Ciaran with a smile.
Ciaran waited for Luthor to look for Pepper as he stood there his tail swishing slowly behind him and tugged at the sleeves of the coat and trying to resist the urge to scratch is new scars and they were so very itchy. He smiled he saw Luthor gave him the all clear. So walked it the room. "I can do that," he replied and shut the door and locked it behind him as he walked over to were Luthor had flopped into his bed and had to giggle a little as it was very cute looking. "That it would be,"
Watching Luthor go over to the dresser and looking for pants as he then brought some back over. "Ok," he replied as he took one of the pairs of pants and tried them on and held his tail up high to were it wouldn't get too in the way. The first pair were just a little too snug but the second pair worked as they were low enough that he wouldn't need to cut a hole for his tail and good he thought as he was planning on returning this to his friend once he got more of his own. One the pants on and Ciaran giving the a little tug to make sure they did fall off and when they didn't he shed the coat. "So how do I look?"
Luthor looked away when Ciaran set to dressing to give the other spawn his privacy, while he didn't care one way or the other about nudity himself given he'd grown up with a streaker for a brother, he had noticed it bothered Ciaran. As such he wouldn't stare... he starred at the wall until the other boy asked what he thought and he turned to look at him. He starred for a long moment, thoughtfully, taking in the details before giving a smile, "You look good." He murmured, even the scars couldn't detract from the fact that Ciaran was a good looking young man he thought to himself, lifting a hand to scratch it against his own scars that he'd gotten the same day that Ciaran got many of his.
"Want to come lay sit?" He asked, moving to sit down back on his bed while watching his friend.
Nudity had sorta grown on him or at least when he was with Luthor as it mostly had been shock at something different and nothing he had really done when he was young, but he was very comfortable with Luthor and trusted him with his life. He looked himself over and wished that he didn't itch and found the scars interesting looking.
"Sure," he murred as he walked over to Luthor and sat next to him. "Tho I do wish that they didn't itch,"
Luthor reached a hand out to take a careful hold of Ciaran's hand, looking down at the scars that he had, again wishing he'd been able to somehow save Ciaran from this pain before he lifted his hand up to press a kiss to his wrist gently. Due to the way he was raised he was a little oblivious to the idea of person space, blame that one a brother that showed affection by chewing on those he loved... he gave Ciaran a smile as he drew back, "Might be since they are healing that they are itching." He suggested.
Ciaran liked having Luthor close as he really never had personal space as he liked be close with those he liked. He just had so smile when Luthor kissed his wrist and moved in closer to Luthor were they were touching and wishing that this didn't have to end. He like Luthor and he kept him calm to the fact that he didn't have to worry about going insane. "I think that you are right," he answered as he then gave a scratch the bigger scar and felt the stitches. "Crap," he said softly as he leaned his head on Luthor as he didn't want to see Aden right now but knew these stitches had to come out or it would do more worse than good.
"Are you alright, Ciaran?" He asked, concern in his voice as the other spawn leaned against him in such a manner. He wondered if his scars were hurting him, "Do they hurt? Should we go back to the Doctor? I know he’s a pain but he does know what he’s doing when it comes to his job." He would merely have to kick the guy if he set to hitting on anyone when he should be healing Ciaran instead he thought to himself.
Ciaran sighed. "I'm fine, but I just realized that if my scars are healing then the stitches that I have in will do harm if left in too much longer," he said as he didn't want to deal with Aden now especially to what he thought they might be doing. "They don't hurt but I think they might sorta stop itching if the stitches were out, so I would have to go back to him. Tho I don't want to. I know he does. But its just the thought of what he might say and such," he answered but then he thought the quicker it was over the quicker he could hang out with Luthor.
He chewed on his lower lip in a thoughtful manner then sighed, "I wish I could help but that doesn't sound like something I could do for you." He murmured, wishing he were able to help with the stitches but Aden was the professional when it came to that sort of thing and as such his expertise would be needed. It sucked though since they had just escaped from him. He shook his head, "If you like I can kick him if he steps out of line with you."
His tail slowly swishing behind him as he did wish Luthor could, but after that he didn't have to return back the medical ward unless he was hurt again and that was a nice thought. "Well if he does you can and that would be helping me or I could give him a face full of tail feathers," he said and thought to what that might look like. "Lets get this done and then we can then do what we want and not have to go back,"
Luthor gave a smile and a nod of agreement, pushing back to his feet. As much as he would love nothing more then to curl up with Ciaran so they could nap dealing with his stitches was priority one right now. He stretched out all over before giving a smile and a nod of his head, "Alright, lets do this." He murmured, heading across the room and unlocked his door, quietly opening it, peeked out, and then started to slip forward quietly so once more they could be careful about not waking his Dad as he was sure the Fallen needed his rest.
Ciaran followed and got back to his feet as he just wanted to be done with the medical ward as it reminded him way too much about the time he was insane even if it was a little better than the white room he had stayed in. "Lets," he said as he followed Luthor to the door and was being a quiet as he could as they crossed the living area.
Luthor was quiet on the way back, mostly thinking about how they had been so lucky to get away from Aden without to terrible a problem only to have to go back to him. If only he had a way to take care of Ciaran on his own he thought to himself over and over again, then gave a smile when they got to the Hospital Ward once again, "We will make it as quick as possible and get out as soon as possible." He said to Ciaran in a reassuring way, "I am sure it won't take to long to long to remove stitches... let’s just hope he doesn't hassle us to much."
Though hoping for something of that nature was doomed to failure... a moment after the two spawn came into the room Aden turned to look at them, looking them over from head to toe then grinned in a delighted manner, "Back already? That was... fast now wasn't it? Enjoy yourselves?"
Ciaran had also been thinking on how to deal with Aden and all that he could think of if Aden got to fresh was to let Luthor kick him or give him a face full of tail feathers. "Yes we will as I just want to hang out with ya," he replied with a nod. "I hope so too," he added as he gave his a scratch. Hearing the comment that Aden made Ciaran's feathers fluffed out a little. "I don't know what you are talking about, but all we did was get me some pants. Anyways I think that I need to get my stitches out as the scars itch fearsly." he said trying to get Aden’s mind out of the gutter.
Aden gave that bigger of a grin, "Getting into Luthor's pants, eh?" He asked, then tilted his head to the side, "Get your stitches out? Come here and let me have a look." He wanted to look his wounds over to make sure that the stitches indeed needed taken out or if he were just being bothered by them. He did like Ciaran but the spawn didn't seem to want to behave himself when it came to letting himself heal up.
The white haired spawn's wings lifted up, giving a flutter, and he gave a bit of a grumbling sound at the strange jokes that the man was making, arms crossing over his chest. He felt the urge to shake him but when it seemed he was actually going to do his job he refrained.

Getting free after growing more
Part 3
Ciaran's mind when blank for a second as he didn't know what to say and sorta just wanted to disappear right then and now. Then he cursed himself for not thinking about using is ability earlier when they were trying to sneak out. But when he could think he wasn't going to answer that 'joke' as he thought that it would lead to more of Aden's perverted thoughts. "The stitches itch and I would think that they would do worse than good at this point," he answered trying to keep to the point to why they were there, faster the better. As he did see Luthor's wings give a flutter and could see that Luthor was getting irritated.
"Alright, sit down and let me see them and I will see about helping you out of your... stitches." He gave a wink then rolled over to get the supplies that he would need for the simple task of removing stitches. It wouldn't take much so long as the wounds were really healed up.
Ciaran tail thrashed a little behind him as he walked over to were Aden was as he just wanted this done and over with as he didn't want to talk with Aden anymore right now as he just wanted to spend time with his friend. He stopped right before settling down to get his tail to calm down for a little bit and sat down.
Aden ran a hand over the scar then gave a whistle, "Incredible, did this come about when your body grew?" He asked, wishing there were a way to harness that power... imagine, being able to somehow use that sort of energy to heal people, to save them from wounds that were dire. He gave a smile then reached over to get a pair of medical scissors that had a smooth, flat bottom that would rest flush against Ciaran's skin so as not to risk cutting him, the young man didn't need anymore scars. He slowly set to work removing each of the stitches in turn from each of the wounds, looking quite serious as he went about his task.
The difference between normal Aden and Aden when he was doing medical tasks was quite drastic, something that was easy to see especially if someone knew him well.
A shiver went up Ciaran's back as Aden touched the larger scar. "Yes it did," he answered as that is all that he could think that it could be from. Holding still as he cut the stitches out as he didn't want anymore but he still liked the pain something that he had to get over as his friends didn't want him anymore hurt and watched Aden take them out.
After a moment he gave a nod of his head, "There we go, got them all out. Feeling better?" He asked, doing a quick sweep of the wounds to make sure that there were none that had been missed. When he was certain that he had gotten them all he leaned back in his seat, "Now all I suggest you do is rest up, no letting Luthor exhaust you until you are sure your one hundred percent, alright?"
"I am not going to exhaust him!" Luthor said, wings opening wide and gave an agitated flutter. It annoyed him that Aden would tease about him risking his friend's health like that when he cared for Ciaran and wanted to see him get better.
As each of the stitches came out the itching lessened to the point that it was toralable. "Yes, thanks," he said as felt some of them over as he hoped the itch would go away soon, maybe once he did get back to his place a bath would be a good idea he thought, but not right now later on he thought. Ciaran gave a little blush as he tried to hide it as his tail gave a little lash as it hit Aden on the leg not to hard as then he stood up quickly and walked over to Luthor. "Thanks, Aden," he said as he just wanted to hide and heard Aden's comment but didn't say anything to not let Aden think anymore perverted thoughts. "Let’s go," he said.
Luthor gave a grin when Aden got himself tail lashed then nodded, "Yeah, lets head back." He said, glad to see that Ciaran's stitches had been taken care of and that they were able to head and on their way out of the hospital ward once more.
Aden looked up at the pair before he rolled his chair over to put his things on the counter for cleaning in the autoclave, "Have a good night you two." He said simply as he rolled himself back to his desk, putting his feet up on it so he could relax for a spell. With the pair leaving it would give him nobody to talk with, he was going to have to see about finding someone new to have his fun with he thought in a bored fashion.
"Have a nice night yourself," Ciaran said being nice as he walked fast just to get out, he did know that Aden was a good person but he just couldn't stand him right now as Ciaran knew his feelings were still very unsure of things and some of his nightmare didn't help in those thought.
One out of sight of Aden he took Luthor's hand and slowed down a little bit. "Let’s head back to your room and talk or something if you want," he asked Luthor.
Luthor watched Aden for a moment before he headed out of the Hospital ward, letting out a held breath as he did so. He was glad that they were on their way, back to his room, away from the Doctor. He wasn't exactly sure why but he felt the oddest feelings of jealousy when he was around Ciaran. Odd... must be him wanting to keep his friend to himself or something he thought, "Yeah, talking sounds nice." He said as they back tracked, away from the Hospital Ward to more cozy quarters.
Ciaran smiled as he didn't have to go back to the Hospital Ward as he was all healed up from his trip from Hell and for the fact he found out that Pepper can be scary and talk to his two best friends about stuff he didn't realize himself until then. Wishing that this would never end.
"That it would," he murred as he followed Luthor back to his room.
Luthor looked around his room once more when they arrived, to make sure that Pepper wasn't around at the moment, then nodded, "Coast is clear." He said before he walked over to sit down on the bed, having locked the door after they were both inside. If Pepper arrived and wanted to come in he could lock and he would let him in, not wanting to drive his friend away or make him feel unwelcome, "I am glad that your feeling better Ciaran, it makes me very happy."
Ciaran nodded to Luthor as he had been quiet as he crossed the main room to Luthor's room once he had gotten the all clear. Once inside he relaxed even further as it was nice to be with Luthor alone after spending so much time in the Hostable Ward. "So am I. I just glad to be out of there and to spend some more time with you without sertan others around," he replied as he walked over to Luthor and sat right next to him.
Luthor looked over at his friend for a long moment before giving a smile and a nod, his wings giving a little flap as he watched as he settled down next him. He gave a little smile and a nod, "Heh, yeah. It is good to have some privacy at long last." He said, letting himself fall back onto the bed, carefully so as not to crush his wings. He reached one hand out to let it rest on that of Ciaran and gave it a squeeze. He was glad to see that his friend was looking better, feeling better, he had been quite worried for him and blamed himself for his getting injured... he'd been more then a little foolish that day.
Ciaran relaxing some more as he wasn't stressed out and his insanity retreated to the far part of his mind. He turned and smiled at Luthor as he gave his hand a squeeze. "Its very nice," he agreed with is friend as he snuggled closer as it was nice and calming and he was also glad too that Luthor wasn't hurt as bad as he had been, tho he did wish that he hadn't got at all as it was his falt that Luthor even went.
As Ciaran curled up with him Luthor gave a happy sound, relaxing that much more and let his eyes sink closed. For the moment all of the problems in the world seemed to just drift away, making him think only of the here and now instead of about anything outside of this room that might bother him any other time of the day. His mood was much improved with his friend's head. He rolled over onto his side, wrapping one arm around Ciaran in a protective manner then seemed to be laying there contently, eyes closed, breathing steady and even, he wasn't asleep but without something to keep him awake he might end up that way soon.
So very happy he snuggled more as Luthor wrapped one of arms around him as he gave a little purr of content as he laid his tail on his friend as he smelled so nice and it was so warm and so happy, Ciaran started to snooze on Luthor not wanting to end as he drifted off.

A talk with Duncan and a thing realized
Part 1
Ciaran walked around to find a place called the Dream as he had never heard of a place called that or he wasn't all familiar with this part of town. But he was following the directions he had gotten from Adriel when he called to see if Duncan was around. As he need a little talk with the other spawn to finish what was started in Hell. Ciaran was very glad to get out of the Labs but sad that he did have to leave his friends there, but he would see them again. As he needed time to himself and rid his mind of bad memories. Turning a corner he spotted the place that he was looking for and tucked the piece of paper into his pocket and also itching one of his scars out of being a little nervous as he didn't know what he would find when he did finally open the door to the Dream.
"Ah-Ah-Ah... I don't know if your quite old enough to be going in there." Came a familiar voice, he didn't stop Ciaran from opening the door given what was going on inside might be enough to startle him out of his journey within, unless of course the goings on of this place were why he'd come here, "Unless you came for happy hour I'd be careful in walking so casually into Dream, Ciaran."
Ciaran gave Duncan a puzzled look as he didn't know what he was talking about, but then he didn't know what was inside all that he known that Duncan was a bouncer and Ciaran just thought a bar in which he was legal if only just. "Well its good to see you Duncan, but what is inside. I was just thought it was a bar," he answered still puzzled as he had let go of the door and turned to face Duncan as his tail swished back and forth behind him.
Duncan's trio of eyes, even the yellow one, seemed to find amusement in the fact that he'd nearly walked into Dream without even knowing what the place was, "At this time of night its part strip club, part hostess bar." He explained, giving a bit of a chuckle, "They serve drinks as well but you need the cash to be able to buy the drinks and the company of the women that will be serving those drinks."
Listening to what Duncan had said and was still confused to what he had said as Ciaran was a little nave when came to that type of stuff. "Well what is a strip club, I have never heard of one?" he asked as he scratched his head and his tail still swishing side to side.
There was a long, drawn out pause before the wrath spawn started to laugh, "Heh, are you serious?" He asked, head tilting to one side before he nodded, "Yeah, your serious... perhaps I shouldn't explain, if your as innocent as that it might be best to allow you to stay that way instead of sullying your mind with such information." He told him in a rather kind manner, if he didn't know what this place was it was likely he didn't want to know what it was.
Tilting his head to the side as he didn't know what Duncan had ment by 'innocent' as in his own mind he didn't think he was innocent but then he was thinking about his insanity and to what he had been thought and not to what was really inside the Dream. Ciaran feathers fluffed out a little as he did want to know but he was inside. "Well what is so funny, Duncan. I might not be as innocent as you might think," he said back not really thinking to what he said as his tail lashed.
"Let's see... how to explain, do you know what a 'Lady of the Night' is?" He asked of his friend, finding this amusing and somewhat cute at the same time. He knew he was being a little mean in teasing Ciaran in such a manner but it was his demonic side showing through he supposed.
Thinking for a second to what was being as he scratched one of his scars as he thought. Nothing speffic came to mind when he thought of it, but then he didn't like women all that much as is. "No I don't," he finally said as he gave his tail a flick as he stared at Duncan and wondering to why he was giving him the run around.
The red skinned demon lifted an eyebrow, almost as though he didn't believe him before finally giving a laugh, "Well that is who works here, women who... are hired by men to keep them company. At night. You get what I am saying, right?" He asked of his friendly, leaning against the door in a manner that was protective when a few people came walking by that he didn't like the look of and gave them a full on glare with all three of his eyes that kept them moving right on by the place. Once they were gone he was smiling again.
Still not getting on what Duncan was saying, but then all of a sudden it dawned on him to what he was says as his feather once more fluffed out more and remembering the talk he had with Sokan. "I think, like sleep with them and the other thing too?" he asked is a whisper as he did see the people walked by. As he didn't want to think about it as he really didn't like women touching him in any manor.
He nodded, "Mostly the other thing." He said, not many would really pay the price these women were asking for just the privilege of taking a nap with them after all, at least he knew that he sure as Hell wouldn't... he liked them well enough but his salary didn't cover such things, not that he could say some woman was interesting in the least to him given that he had a Lust Spawn for a lover back home. There was no way a human woman could compete with that, even a whole brothel full.
"Ah, ok," he said as he gave a little shiver at the thought of women touching him and he only would interact with them only when he had to and that was just talking with them and that sometimes was a chore into itself. "Well anyways I came here to talk with you," he said as he tried to gather his thoughts on how to start that conversation.
He nodded, shifting off the door for a moment to reach out and take an ID that was held out to him, he studied it, studied the one that handed it to him, then gave a sniff at the air around the man. After a long, drawn out moment he nodded and allowed him inside, deeming him as harmless. One could tell if someone was dangerous by the scent that they gave off, it was part of what made Duncan good at his job, his ability to sense such things, "Came all this way just to talk with me? That was nice of you."
Ciaran had seen the other come up and moved out of the way of the man as not to in the way as he was talking with Duncan. "Yes and well now that I have a clear head and am all healed up," he started as he didn't know to what Duncan thought of him going insane as he could remember parts of when he went insane in Hell but not all of it totally as his tail made lazy sweeps back and forth behind him. "So why did you hurt, Luthor?" he asked as he sorta could recall to what Luthor was doing to calm down Duncan but that was about it as he just felt fury to hurt Duncan after what he had done in that frame of mind.
Duncan tilted his head to one side, "Huh, did I? I can stay I could really tell, he didn't act hurt in any manner." He said in a falsely innocent manner. He knew he'd swung at him and he had sworn he'd hit him... but the white hair spawn had seemed to shrug it off as though it were nothing... not that he'd of really cared if he had gutted him though, not at the time and certain not given who and what he stank of.
Ciaran glared at Duncan. "Yes you did as I saw the scars that it gave. All that I can remember is that he was just trying to calm you down that was all," he said in a huff as Ciaran knew Duncan knew too. His tail started to move all agitated as he wanted to know why he had wanted to hurt his friend.
"One doesn't calm a wrath spawn by touching it, all that does is tends to make you the next one to get attacked. Especially your an enemy." He told Ciaran, leaning back against the door in a protective manner, rather displeased to find that Ciaran seemed so upset about him wounding someone that was dangerous.
Ciaran listened to what he was told and noted that information for later use if he ever need to he thought. "He wasn't the enemy, he is my friend. He has helped me thought a rough times," he replied as he did get a little more angry as it was now visible on the end of his tail a small arc of his magic was dancing between the feathers.
"He has bad blood running through his veins and that makes him dangerous." He said simply, looking from side to side as a few more people walked by, only relaxing when they kept on their way. One of them didn't smell right and if they had tried to come to close he would have been forced to give them a toss... not that he minded, getting in the occasional fight here was what kept his wrath side content and in check.
"So what if he has bad blood that doesn’t make him bad. Others don't have to follow in what there genetics give them as they can't help it," he replied as he did now seam aware that he was starting to arc electricity and calmed it down. "I know that he is a good person, Duncan. Are you doing to condemn him for just that even before you know him?" Ciaran said tried to keep calm as he wanted to act civil but for some weird reason he did want to hit Duncan hard as he could as he was just a little confused by that emotion, but it was frustrating not to know why and to why he felt that way.
"Don't have to follow their genetics? I am a shining example that its impossible not to end up committing the sins of your father." He said, looking out over the crowd, eyes narrowed, "And even if I were finally able to get under control the monster that I am I was born of something that was violence and rage... that... 'friend' of yours was born from something far worse. As such I don't trust him anymore then I can throw him and if you were smart you wouldn't turn your back on him."
The more Ciaran listen to Duncan even tho he respected the man the more he got madder as he Luthor wasn't as bad as his sin, far from it he was more like his virtue. But with the anger he was feeling more smaller arc of electricity started to arc around on his tail and even smaller ones started to arc on his shoulder feather. "So if he is so bad then to why did he help me when so few would help when I was abandoned by my mother to the Labs for hurting myself and losing my sanity? Even Adriel help so were you?" he said growing more mad.

A talk with Duncan and a thing realized
Part 2
"I helped you when I found you injured and in need of care Ciaran so don't act as though I turned my back on because of your madness. It is not as though I didn't suffer from manias myself. The only difference between us is that June didn't abandon me like..." He bit of his sentence there, adding in the end of his thought which was 'your worthless guardian did to you' was likely not a way to keep Ciaran as a friend. On never knew, he might still have feelings toward that woman.
You did, but was on the mends by then. But I before that I had suffered greatly to think that I had lost everything that I truly wanted...wanting for it just to end as the techs just make it worse to want to fade into nothingness as no one would care if I did," he said as some of the electricy no longer under Ciarans control but by his emotions arced and hit the ground around him and making a thunder sound. "He was one that helped me see the light and come back. Who would do that if they were evil?"
"I could say the same for you, where were you when I was desperate enough to end my rages that I let someone rip out half of my soul? Where were you when I had to sell what little innocence I had left to get it back?" He was being mean perhaps but just as few people knew what Ciaran went through that few knew what Duncan had gone through, they were the spawn of the Labs that got the short end of the stick in many cases.
" As for why he'd help you... because he is of the same sort that would offer a child a way to escape their evil only to then turn around and make that same child murder someone as payment." He hissed out, "You think him kind but I saw his father's brand of kindness and I don't trust Vampy and I won't trust his hell spawn either. That you would attempt to force me to do so is quite unfair of you, Ciaran."
Ciaran was a little startled to find out that Duncan had gotten some of his soul ripped out. "Well if I had truly know I would have help, but when I did meet you I was younger than you and so stupid that I could never be beautiful. You were so beautiful when I first met you and you still are that I could never achieve I was very envious of that even now," he said as he tried to bring his emotions from smothering him but more arcs arced as his emotions came to a head as he just wanted to dig a hole and die in it.
He had known that he didn't like Vampy but he truly didn't know what that man was truly like as he had gotten some of his information from Luthor and his hate for the man. "I know that he also truly hates that man as well..." he said as he sorta knew that he was being unfair but just wanted to know but why did he have to know part of him could have just let it be, but why was he even defending Luthor so fiercely.
Then it hit him like a ton of brick to why and when he let his emotions go and figured out and he was oblivice to how much magic was arcing around his body as he let his emotions go so did the control of the electric and having no direction to were to go it decided that zapping Ciaran was good enough and gave Duncan a little light show as it did it work as Ciaran learned that he had fallen in love with Luthor and he wondered to when that had happened as he his knees bucked from under him as he fell to the ground as he thought to himself he did deserve this as he could now think he had been unfair to Duncan and to what he had been through.
The wrath spawn gave a rather colorful line of curses as Ciaran's power seemed to arc in such a fashion and he knelt down in front of him, lifting a clawed hand to reach out toward him, "Are you alright? What did you just do?" He asked, that looked like it hurt... not to mention the sort of burnt smell that was left behind. He didn't dare to touch him though, a part of his mind all but screamed at him not to and he was quick to obey that part of his brain since it was the part that usually protected him from danger.
Ciaran had blacked out there for a second and opened his eyes as he saw that Duncan was in front of him and knew that he once again had been stupid and looked at him. "I'm alright, it looks that my magic is also tied to my emotions too," he said as he as he tried to figure a way to say it to his friend and to suck up all the pain he was feeling but it did feel good and to make him thing even more clearly. "I don't have true control over my magic and its a lot will I hit my target or will it just come back and it me, something that I have gotten use to. I did want to hit you with it tho, until I realized my feelings and I didn't direct the elecrity to go anywhere and so get got me. I my just so stupid," he said or at least the last part was more for himself and for telling Duncan that he was envious of him and still was.
Duncan blinked once then reached out to flick Ciaran in the forehead, "Enough of that, now." He said as he pushed up to his feet, holding out the same hand he'd flicked him with to help him off the ground, "There is no reason for you to say or think such things about yourself, your not stupid... a bit to naive for your own good perhaps, but not stupid."
Ciaran a little shocked as he got a flick to his forehead and gave it a little rub. "Well still am," he quickly answered as he took Duncan's hand and stood up. He was a little shaky on his feet as he let the rest of the pins and needle feeling leave his limbs. "I'm sorry for what I said and I still feel really stupid for trying to force you even tho I didn't realize on how I truly felt and now I know," he said as he was a little embarrassed to admit it to Duncan even tho he hate Luthor just for being Vampy's spawn. "To why I felt so strongly, Duncan. Is that I realized that I love him," he said in a hushed voice knowing that he might get hit my his friend to nock some since in him about that.
Duncan starred, unblinking, at Ciaran as he confessed his feelings of love for Vampy's spawn and a part of him wanted to grab the other guy and shake him, shake him until he righted whatever screw was loose in his head that made him think that Luthor was a good choice for him... then he gave a sighing sound, as though he were quite pained by the knowledge given to him by Ciaran, "I see..." He murmured, arms crossing over his chest, "I know that nothing I say is going to make you change your mind... though if he does hurt even a feather on you I will gut him, understand?"
Ciaran waited for the throding that he was thinking that was coming to when he confessed that feeling as he could sorta feel that he did want to do it. But it didn't come as Duncan spoke and he was a little shocked for it and what was said too. So he sorta approved, maybe he could find away to show Luthor wasn't the same but he wasn't going to press it never. "I do understand," he said as he was happy and something that Ciaran wasn't going to tell Luthor about. "Thanks you for at least understand," he said as he gave the wrath spawn a huge hug.
Duncan gave a half shrug, "I try my best." That he seemed to understand at least seemed to make Ciaran rather happy which was, to Duncan, a little strange since he had threatened the white haired spawn in the same breath but oh welll... if the spawn was able to make Ciaran happy somehow, without magic, he might approve of things even more, might even stop plotting Luthor's bloody downfall... but he supposed that they would see soon enough how things went.
Ciaran smiled more as now he just had to tell Luthor as that was also going to be a hard one too and just when to say it as well. "Thanks," he replied as that ment so much to him as that is all that he could hope for as his tail gave a wag. "From what my other friend, Sokan says 'Is to keep your friends close and your enemies closer' So don't worry too much about me I will watch my back," he said as he gave a little kiss on Duncan's cheek as pulled away. "Well I should let you get back to work before you get into trouble, be we will have to talk again when your not at work and do something and maybe with Adriel and your family," he said as he hadn't met any of there kids yet, even tho he had seen Adriel pregent twice.
"Keep yourself safe and out of trouble, Ciaran and even if you have that infatuation for Luthor don't for even a second turn your back on his Father." He told him, not wanting to see Ciaran end up in a bad way because of Vampy as he had. The man was the worst of the worst and everyone should be made aware of that as soon as was humanly possible. He leaned back against the doors once more, arms crossing over his chest, and he gave a smile, "I would like that, for you to come by sometime when I have a day off."
"I will and thank for the information and I will be careful around Vampy or even just stay clear of him the best I can," he replied to his friend as he started to walk away. "It a plan then, I will give a call to find out when the best day that is," he replied back as he headed home happy as could be.
Duncan lifted a hand to wave, watching as his friend headed for home then he turned his attention back to the task at hand. He couldn't let himself worry to much for Ciaran at the moment... though he was going to ask Adriel what he thought of the white haired spawn. He wasn't sure if his lover had met the guy but he felt he needed an outside opinion of him. Both Ciaran and Duncan himself were far to close to the issue to be able to judge things fairly. Until he heard what Adriel thought he would do his best to think in as positive a manner as was possible for him.

Journal entry 5
I can't beleve that I got in a fight with one of my friends but then it might have been a good thing too as we did make up sorta, but I realized that I love Luthor! I mean he is my best friend and he did help me get out of my insanity. But I didn't realize that all those strong feelings that I have for him I just thought that they were because we were very good friends. So it was a shocker to me that I do love him. Now I don't know what to do as I don't know if Luthor feels the same way as I do or what. As for right now I'm going to keep it a secret and I do feel really bad about keeping it as I want to tell him everything but I also don't want to lose him at the same time if he doesn't feel the same way that I do. Maybe one day I will say, but I'm just so scared that he wouldn't feel the same way that I do. As I do think that if he doesn't my insanity will come back and I do think that I wont be coming back out of it.
~Ciaran
