Brooks raised an eyebrow. "That so?" He leaned forward in his bed, "Care to explain the one armed fella that tried to kill me the first time? It looked like you were working together to me." He smiled, sitting back, "what are you playing me for, Lu? What is it you're after?"

Louise beamed, eyes twinkling with amusement. “What am I after? Your heart and devotion, of course.” And then she was serious again. She should've known he'd bring Miran up. “Temporary boy toy, he's about screwed himself over now though so don't worry about competition.” Louise lied, she wasn’t about to tell him that she needed help on a bounty. Hell, she’d already given him more information than she would’ve anyone else in his situation.
“But he wasn’t the one that started all this. I know it. I don’t know why he did what he did but he didn’t have any grudge against you as far as I know.” Hopefully Brooks wasn’t as thick now as he had been the past few days and would understand that she was hinting at this guy being a double crosser.
Oh, and she really hoped that Brooks felt like the douche he was for giving the one armed man the red scale. Yep, she really, really hoped for that last part.

Brooks yawned, "Figured you'd like me too much to try and kill me. So, know much about the double crosser? I'm guessing he's the fellow that came in earlier, invisible no less."

For quite possibly the first time in her life Louise was genuinely surprised. Blinking quickly she sat straight up in her chair and stared. “THEY LET THAT JERK OFF IN HERE!?” Settling back in her chair she lifted a hand to her brow and covered her eyes, thinking. “Jesus, Brooks. I was already of half a mind to be your body guard. Those two nimrods out there couldn’t handle some fake tears, who knows what they’ll do if some guy walks in here, says he’s your brother too and shoots you.”
She sighed, highly frustrated and disappointed with the quality of security these days. Was no place safe? Moving her hand away from her face she leaned forward, elbows on her knees. “It seems like you’ve had more run ins with this kid than I have, I honestly can’t tell you anything else aside from the fact that he throws a mean fireball.” And, without thinking about it, she touched the spot where she’d been hit two days prior.
[Lawl. I love the word nimrod. It makes me happy inside.]

"No offence, Princess, but there's a difference between a man crying and a woman crying, hell, they'd shoot a man for crying. I'd hope at least." Brooks lifted his hand from beneath the sheets of the bed, revealing a gun he had the whole time. "I've been watching out for myself too."
He glanced at the spot she touched, "you get burned? Had it looked at? I wouldn't mind looking if you were needing someone to take a check." He turned his question of concern into something perverted, as usual.
((it is a good word indeed))

Lu ignored his perv-ness. It was almost like she was becoming immune…or just really, really deaf to it. Either way, she didn’t say anything to encourage him. “Glad to see you’re still an a*****e.” She smirked, giving him a genuine smile when she saw the gun. “But is that thing gonna cover you? You tend to piss people off on an hourly basis.”
For some odd reason, Louise was beginning to like Brooks, a*****e that he was and all. At least as much as anyone could like the man.
[Ew. Louise/Brooks relations popped into my head!
-shudder, cry-
Those would be some yucky dates, lemme tell you…]

((lol, I can only imagine....))
Brooks grinned, "I just have that special charm. But considering I'm still alive, it's obvious I know how to cover my back to some point." He put the gun on his bedstand, "Want some jello?" He offered her the container he left untouched on his dinner tray.

Louise gave him a look of quiet disbelief, arching a red-brown eyebrow. “No thanks,” she said as she stood, picking up her coat and smoothing out her shirt. “I think our ten minutes is up and I wouldn’t want your “body guards” to start thinking I’m some hooker you called in for a five minute job.” And then it dawned on her that it was probably something he would do. “Never mind.” And she made for the door.
Okay, take back that whole last paragraph. Louise would be ashamed to call that man a friend. Very, horribly, extremely, ashamed.

Brooks chuckled, "Later, Princess." He glanced back at the jello with distaste and tossed it into the trashcan.

((JEZ. Seeing how Artemis is part of the Underground, she also wants to get rid of the high ranking officials. So if you say you're there to get rid of one, she'll help you out.))

J-PiPe Artemis Lynn Artemis' hand stopped glowing, and she moved away from him. "There's an abnormality in your blood that is most commonly found in those who the Union likes to call Supers." She started to walk away. "People with special powers like I just used on you. Keep your mouth shut about it and make sure nobody sees you do whatever it is that you do. And try to get some rest." She walked out of the room, and back to the front counter. She saw Erik talking to a blonde nurse and approached. "I'll take care of this." She told the other nurse. "Visiting hours are over." ...does she...what the heck does she mean? I...!!! *images of the Blackblade finally came to me and all the pieces of the puzzle came together. i was the thing i feared so much...the Golden Horror of the Blackblade. as i thought about it, the more i felt like i was transforming into it once again* *a huge explosion came from one of the patient rooms in back. after the smoke cleared a golden, eerie light came from the destroyed room.*

Artemis quickly dropped to the ground and covered her head as she heard the explosion. She looked up to see if anything fell, and stood up. "What the hell was that?" She went down the hall, and started to look through the smoke. She saw the eerie golden light, and then swore as she approached it.

Artemis slowly approached, readying a spell in her hand. "And you are?"
