Welcome to Gaia! ::

Super didn't know how to respond, but he didn't have time to, as as soon as he gave a soft smile towards Sparky, Slash's explosion could be heard. He jumped in front of Sparky, separating her from the apartment. As he heard the words, his ears fell over as he understood what was going on. "I think Slash walked into the Bathroom." He said simply, even though he suddenly felt a twang of awkwardness. He felt inexplicably angry at Slash for some reason, and it didn't take him very long. Not only was the secret out, but the was Slash handled it was terrible. Furthermore, the fact Super originally told him his sister was in the shower peeved him that such an invasion of privacy was possible.

And maybe the fact he didn't trust Slash in the slightest and he just walked through Sickle's room while the wolf slept just to walk in on his sister. Things are strange around these parts. Definitely. "Umm." Was all he could mutter without letting off the fact he was pissed off now, letting Sparky take the lead on what they should do now.

"Shut up." The simple words came from Sickle, who had past everyone in a uick, silent way that some of them didn't even catch that he moved. He took only a moment to look at Bullet, and muttered, "Stay in the tub. You haven't healed in the slightest." He warned, and gave a quick point to the other wolfs hand. He headed out the door and made it back to the small enclosed area out back. The Backyard looked better then one would expect, but that may be because Sickle often tends to it, but being so busy lately, he hadn't been able to clean up the trash that heartless people throw over the fence that surrounds the area. There was a shack in the back, where Sickle did a lot of work with some plans, mainly because he was the only one ever to go out there - even Kairi didn't know where he spent his time on the days he came out here. But for the most part, the shack had tools and other supplies that were customary to gardening. Also, what Slash couldn't see, was a niche in the wall that led to a small area just large enough for a human child, or someone of Lea's size. Sickle was sure, as an ex-G.U.N. operative, Lea wouldn't go somewhere as obvious as the shack. "Calm yourself down before you do something you regret." He hesitated a moment before adding, "Something else you'll regret."

((No problem. Slash, of course. Sickle has manners and wouldn't speak so coarsely to a woman.))

"Yeah, he's a b*****d, but not really because he wants to be." Sickle said, crossing his arms. "But first, please don't ruin my garden. I worked hard on it." He commented dryly. He bent down and picked up an odd flower, he held it up to his nose for a moment before continuing. "You seem set that you need to protect her. How old is Lea, anyway? She seems old enough to make her own decisions to me." He stopped a moment, and interrupted Slash before the other wolf could open his mouth. "I know the argument. How the hell would I know, all that. Heard it before, don't much care for it." He said. His arms dropped as he thought aloud, "Have you ever stopped to think how Lea feels about this? How her brother yells at her when she's legitimately trying to help someone wounded? Sure, she might like him a lot, but I promise you she had no intent on doing anything that might be considered wrong. I mean, come on. With everyone in that apartment, don't you think you raised your sister smart enough to not do something so stupid? I've known her for a very little amount of time, but I've seen her as a very intelligent young wolf. " Sickle commented. "Instead of yelling and threatening her and anyone who shows interest in her, why can't you just be proud that you helped shape her to whom she is - a nice girl with a kind heart?" He asked. He mentally added, Though not even close to Kairi.

((Kee hee, your Kairi refference makes me laugh. It's just so cute. <3 ))

Slash tensed his fists angrily as the wolf behind him began to talk; even just the sound of his voice was starting to make him furious.... But then he seemed to hear something about ruining his garden, and Slash backed up a few steps. Oddly enough, when he was truly angered did he ever obey comands.
((Another little fun G.U.N. side effect. Don'tcha hate them? No offence Kain XP ))
In a darkly silent manner, he listened to every word Sickle said..... Talking about her being able to make her own decisions, how she felt, and how he had yelled at her so that everyone could hear. His heart seemed to sink lower and lower with every word Sickle said....because it was true....almost all of it was totally ****'n true....

Then with sudden fury, Slash blew up (not literaly) in Sickle's face. "But I didn't raise her! I didn't even help her, that's the god****ed problem!!" With a grunt he turned from Sickle, gripping a peice of the fence with both hands. ".....When we first got into G.U.N......they seperated us for training. We never saw eachother.... I was miserable, worried sick all the ****ing time...We'd never been seperated after our folks died, and I didn't know what would happen to her.....but....then after a month of training I saw her at the cafateria...She had friends, was smiling and laughing again, and for once really looked....happy!" He clenched the fince harder, his teeth gritting. "So me in my little kid crap though, 'Hey, she'll be fine! She can take care of herself!' ......I thought that for 4 ****ing years...while those bastards were throwing her out on her own every time she needed an "attitude adjustment......that's how 'Apathy' got made into being...."

In the corner, Lea let her head droop down, her hair covering her eyes only to make her tears visible. She could almost see her other half smiling....a wicked smile of hatred and sorrow.... But she shook her head lightly, pushing the image away as best she could.

Slash moved from the fence and turned to Sickle, eyes no longer yellow, but a far more intense purple. "We finally became partners that year....and for almost a year and a half were we together all the time... I didn't regognize her....but she seemed happy, so I let it pass. Then.....the one time I let Lea do a mission on her own....G.U.N. almost lets her die, she gets her heart ripped out and stomped on by some poison spitting cobra!"

"Poisoned...." Lea lifts her head slightly, her eyes seeming dull but a small amount of light in them. "I wonder if he and his wife are ok....."

"So....I think I can say I've done a pretty ****y job as a brother, so I sure as **** ain't gonna mess it up now!" Slash lifted his head slightly, looking at the black wolf.

Slash took both hands and grabbed onto the fur on Sickle's chest and dragged him forward, his eyes a furious yellow. "Shut up! I'm not anything like those ****ing monsters! I don't care what the future says I'm going to be, I'LL NEVER BE LIKE THAT PSYCHOTIC b*****d!! " He shook Sickle with the last word, his eyes large, clouded with anger, fury, and bitterness.....

After realizing what he had just done, Slash looked down at the ground, eyes wide, and released the black wolf from his grasp.

Lea buried her head in her hands, a silent sob of irony came from her throat. "Slash.....look what you've done........now it's only a matter of time...."

((Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I got it! Something to make him sleep. Nice. biggrin ))

Lea bowed her head once more before standing up, and sliding out of the crack.
"Nicely done." Lea commented, looking down at her brother. He was out cold in every possible way. There was a moment of silence, and Lea looked at the floor for a moment, rubbing her arm slightly. "So....." She said finally. ".....I assume you want to know what he was talking about.....or do you not care...?" There was a huge deal of importance in Slash's outburst, but Lea hoped in all heaven she wouldn't have to talk about it.... The prospect of all the horrible things of the future happening because of her made it a very uncomfortable topic...
