Skiaska smiled at him at his retreating form. "Sorry 'bout earlier." With that said and off her chest, she sighed and went into her own room. Shrugging about locking the door, she glared at the time. "3:15? Crap..." Skiaska fidled with her alarm for 4:30 and growled. "Not much sleep for the weary..." Taking off her coat and undressing, she just fell on the bed and into sleep.
Mommy? Mommy, what wrong? Where's father? Oh! Why is brother crying? Mommy? Are you okay? Why are you all bloody? Are you hurt? Mommy, what's wrong? Mommy? Mommy?!
Skiaska woke up, cold sweat and chills running through her. "God, it was only a dream... Only a dream..." Looking at her beeping alarm clock, she turned it off and looked at the time. "4:37? Gah, I only woke up seven minutes late, no big." Getting up, she groaned. "That was my only pair of clothes..." Skiaska grumbled a she put them on. "I'll get the rest this afternoon." Yawning, she went upstairs for some coffee.

Len entered into the under ground Haven facility, after, of course, another few brief speaking with the guards at the door and "Hunter" Wilson. Hoping to find Lydia here already, he continued to head down the security halls, giving the cameras a half smile as he made his way to the main room, turning and going down one of the halls.
His cloths looked a little tattered and he himself looked a little worn, a pair of crushed sunglasses was hanging loosely in the grasp of one of his hands. He stuffed it in his pocket when he lifted his head up to see Dr. Gail coming out of one of the medical storage rooms. He gave a her a smile as she looked over him. "Out on another night of hunting? No doubt one of William's eager scouts for the latest event." She said with a slight smile, she seemed to be carrying a couple boxes and pieces of paper, most dealing with medical supplies.
"Yeah, I suppose I never do really learn." He said rubbing his side, which was also barely covered by the shirt being torn there. Dr. Gail, being trained in high observation as well, could see the black dark-outline and purplish interior of a large bruise planted along the area.
"That looks like it hurts something terrible, Len. Maybe you should come back to the medical room with me. Kerrigan's also in there, mentioned something about quite the fight in the park." Len nodded, looking back on the demon he had encountered there, and the vampiress Kerrigan had been fighting.
"Nah, I'm fine, really." He said, kind of truthfully. She arched an eyebrow at him and ushered him to turn around to follow her.
"Trust me, with a bruise like that, if it doesn't get attension now, you're going to be down all day tomorrow." She said, handing Len the largest box and she keeping the two smaller packages and papers. He grinned and shruged, knowing that she was probably right. Getting slammed into a tree at high air-speed was bound to cause such a thing to happen. Hope this goes quickly though, gotta report to William... He thought as they approuched the entrance to the medical room.
He saw Kerrigan and to his surprise, William, who couldn't have been in a better place when needed. Len nodded to them both. "Ah, good evening...er, early morning to ya both." He said as Gail placed her labor down and directing Len where to place his, then motioning for him to take a seat on the second stand beside Kerrigan. He did so and looked to William. "So, I have a report for you William my good man." He said with a slight flinch as Gail poked at the bruise and then moved on to Kerrigan to deal with her first.

"Well...i see you survived Len," she spoke as she leaned back on her elbows on the counter as he walked in. She nodded to Dr. Gail as well as she entered with Len. Stilfing a yawn with the back of her hand, she looked at the doctor as she came over to help tend to her wounds. However, she simply raised a hand, motioning for her to go back and attend to Len. "Doc, really, im fine. I'll stitch it up myself later. No biggie. Len over there seems like he needs help more than me." Looking past the doctor she grinned at him and playfully stuck her tongue out at him.

He grinned and arched an eyebrow over at her as Dr. Gail spoke up in reply to Kerrigan after turning to see Len. "He merely needs to be looked over and givin the correct pain-killers, you on the other hand have a bloody gash on your face that could easily get infected. And seeing as I'm a professional, I would prefer that I stitch it up." She turned and headed to her desk, opening one of the packages and gathering the right materials needed to sew up such a gash. Len gave a half grin and looked to Kerrigan, giving an 'oh well' type of shrug.
He then recalled Kerrigan's first comment. "Oh yes, I actually had him where I wanted him...Krii'Ouse and I had the b*****d pinned, but of course, the damned demons always have a way to escape critical death and his tactic was disappearing in thin air. Go figure." He said sarcastically, giving a look over to William then back to Kerrigan as Dr. Gail returned.

Will leaned against a wall as he watched the doctor patch his people up. He was grateful that he wouldn't have to do it, seeing as how tired he was. "Kerrigan, to fill you in it seems that the Lunite cult is preparing for one of their holy wars right here in New York. We estimate their numbers to be enough to turn Manhattan into a charnel house. Naturally, I'm a little worried. I sent Len and a few others out to do some scouting. So Len, did you find anything? And for that matter, where's Lydia? Did you guys decide to split up or something?"

Len immediatly turned his gaze upon William at that moment. "You mean, she hasn't come back yet?" He was afraid of that. Naturally he was hoping that she had returned safely, instead of getting split up and wandering somewhere else. Oh, good one Len, real good. He thought to himself, turning to see Dr. Gail stitching Kerrigan up. He flinched, for it was rather odd getting a large wound stitched up, and it would even hurt a lot worse if not for the pain killers, or if preferred, large ammount of alchohol taken in before hand.
He turned back to Will, a calm, yet unsteady at the same time, look upon his features. He looked towards the ground, thinking of where he had saw her last. It was the park...but she was gone before he had left. He looked back up to meet his leader's gaze. "I don't know where she could have gone sir. She was there in the park, then when I looked again she was gone. I was hoping she headed back along with Kerrigan, Skiaska, and Krii'Ouse." He drifted off, thinking of what happened.
"Unfortunatly, we had little time to look around much for any of the Lunites. We found a hidden Lycan, but it was one of the same ones as the other night, and we were ambushed by two demons and a vampiress, well, along with that Lycan. Will, I'm curious; maybe we're becoming the main focus here." He scratched the back of his head, ruffling around some of his currently roughed up hair, but seemed to fit his personality in ways.
"Oh, and there's something else." He said, as if thinking it at the same time. He remembered the card that was slipped into his pocket by the shadow demon. "I'll talk to you about it later if you don't mind, I think it deserves a private meeting between us." He said, looking back down to the large bruise on his side and then over to Dr. Gail who seemed to have been listening in and finishing up on Kerrigan's wound.

Lydia finally managed to wander back into Haven, looking like nothing had happened. She had gotten seperated from Len on their scouting mission, and had decided this was where he would be, since she could not find him in the park or anywhere else that she had looked. More wandering brought her to the infirmary, where she finally found her errant partner.
"Way to leave me behind." She said to Len, a bit of sarcasm in her voice as she surveyed the infirmary.

Charles wanders into the place his contact had told him abaout. He had his pistol on him but he wasn't dressed for hunting. He has a plain black polo-neck Shirt on and a pair of brown chordroy pants on. He looks around the place, taking in his new HQ and he didn't like it. He liked the rugged temporary HQ of the battlefield where your only orders came in by radio. This palce was to... homely. He heads towards the lounge, looking around for other hunters. He wanted to know who he'd have to work with, although he didn't intend to make any friends.

Before Will had time to reply to Len's report, Lydia's voice was heard as she entered through the entrance way of the infirmery. Len gave a half grin and looked to Will. "There she is...late as always" He ended looking back to her, in a sarcastic response to her own. He then started to move, but Gail raised a finger at him, her eyes still on Kerrigan as she put in the last stitch, and he remained sitting on the table.
"And I'll have you know I was looking for you as well...maybe that demon took a few brain cells with the blow." He said, giving another grin. "So, where the hell were you? I saw you a brief moment, then when I truned back you were gone." He gave her a curious look, and one of his eyebrows arched giving off the same hint.

"What do you mean by 'late as always?' I have not been late to my knowledge." She paused a bit, and then went on without waiting for a response. "I climbed a tree to get a better vantage point. My...abilities...do not always work in close quarters." She looked away from everyone, a slight frown visible on her features. "Seeing that my powers were of no use, I climbed down. And when I reached thr ground you were gone, along with the other hunters who had joined in the fight. I was looking for you for quite some time I'll have you know."

As the doctor began to stitch her wounds, she grimaced, biting down hard down her lower lip. She ahd refused the pain medication, saying that this was her "punishment for not keeping her guard up". When she finished, Kerigan took a deep, shaky breath, "Heh...thanks Doc." Her shaking hand brushed over the closed wound, before wiping a few tears that had slipped from her eyes, a natural response to the pain of being stitched. With that, she turned to William, sitting for a moment in silent thought. "Well...that isnt good news. If there is anything i can do, let me know. Lord knows i have enough time on my hands."
Sliding off the counter, she looked between them all and headed towards the door. She disappeared around the corner, only to pop her head back in and wait for a pause in the conversation, "Oh, and when you get a chance William, i'd like to discuss something with you. No rush, ok?" She gave them all a smile and a little wave before disappearing once more, heading towards Hunters.

"Alright Len, come see me in my office in half an hour. Kerrigan, you can come see me after I'm done talking to Len. Lydia, I'm sorry that you got left behind like that. You should go get some rest. Len, please be more careful next time. Try to coordinate with your fellow Hunters next time, alright?"
With that said, he walked out the medical room door and out into the hallways. Going up the stairs and towards his office, he nearly ran into a British looking man in his middle ages. Not losing any composure from his near run in, Will stuck his hand out to the older man. "Hello there, you must be new in town. I'm Will Jackson, leader of the New York Hunters Group. Who're you?"

Len smirked at Lydia as she continued and then nodded as Kerrigan's procedure was finsished as she walked back out of the room, halting and looking back, mentioning a meeting with William as well, and then once again making way down the hall. Dr. Gail moved over back to her desk, shufling about some papers and objects as Will spoke to Len.
He listened to what he said, he obviously busy and in a rush. "A half an hour will be great, and I will William." He said, giving the hunter leader a nod as he turned and left as well. Len looked back to Lydia and slightly tilted his head. "He's right, you better get some rest, it's been really something out there." He looked over to Dr. Gail as she returned, making her way over to him. She placed her hands on two sides of the shirt that was torn covering the large bruise and ripped them apart for better study.
Len arched his eyebrow at her, and then gave a slight shrug. "Ow!" He said as she pressed her hand firmly against it. "Yep, see, it's already starting to ache. Hmm...I know exactly what you need." She turned and grabbed something from one of the medicine cabnits and handed it to him. "Take two now and then two more before you go to sleep. Also, one when you wake up wouldn't be a bad idea either."
Len looked at the container he was handed. Advanced pain soother pills; also seemed to have the effect of healing bruises, soars, and aching. "Thanks." He said nodding to her as he propped himself off of the metal desk. "And you better get some rest too, you havn't gotten much sleep yourself lately, I can tell." Len gave a grin, it had been almost five days now; it was amazing that he was still able to see straight after being beaten and hit, even after the minor naps.
"Don't worry, I will...I think it would do me a lot of good. My aim has been a little off lately." He said, giving Gail a wink before turning to Lydia who still leaned next to the exit of the infrmery. He opened the lid to the container and gulped down two of the liquid-gel pills as he shook his head and exited out into the hall, Lydia behind him. "Was there something you wanted to talk to me about?" Curious to as why she was waiting.

She waved to William and Kerrigan as they left, waiting for Len. When he addressed her, she merely raised an eyebrow. "You do look rather worse for wear. Now explain to me, how did you lose me in the first place? It is not like I am a shoe." She followed him, noting how tired he seemed to be. "And what possesed you to not get a good night's rest in five days?" She asked, not realizing that she had read his mind instead of hearing him say that aloud.

Rolling her shoulders forwards so that they cracked and popped, she stretched as she walked down the hall heading for the training room. While she was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes open, she was going to force out a training session before she went to talk to William. Taking her belt off and draping it on the ground to the side, she walked over to a punching bag once again, cracking her knuckles. For a moment she paused, stifling a yawn with the back of her hand, blinking a few times to attempt to get the last traces of exhaustion from her vision.
The last of her Free-going demeanor seemed to melt away as she focused in on her training, her face slipping to one of complete seriousness. When she opened her eyes, she immediately sent several punches towards the punching bag. However, in her mind, she was going over what she was going to go over with when she talked to William. Even though she hadnt had a lot of time lately, she had been working on several new types of ammunition that she figured she might as well tell him about. Especially the ones she was working on that were specifically engineered for lycans. But until then, training.
Dropping low to the ground after a forceful kick to the side of the bag, she planted her right hand on the mat behind her and kicked both legs up into the center of the bag, using that force to backflip over and jump, swinging her left leg around to contact the bag with an impressive amount of force. Wiping some sweat from her forehead as she took a step back from the punching bag, looking up at a clock on the wall. She still had some time.
Walking over to her belt, she pulled out a small cellphone and hit 6 on the speed dial. After a few moments, a young man answered the phone. "Hello? This is Drake, that you Ker?" She smiled slightly picking her belt up, still on the phone and heading towards Hunters once more. "Yea, i got a meeting in a while, and i need the new stuff. Can you bring it to a club called Hunter's? I'll meet you there. I need a sample of each new bullet and bring along the blood samples." "Sure thing babe, ill bring them right over," Drake said, hanging up the phone. Laughing slightly, she flipped the phone shut, leaning against the wall and closing her eyes, strapping her belt back on. Clearing her throat she passed through security and headed ito Hunter's.
