"Well." He looked thoughtful at Dusk. "I believe the enemy has found away to cause madness in Seraphs. That is my assumption from the studies I conducted on that Rogue Seraph earlier. Hopefull they will be okay. I think it's worse in the more powerful Angels though. I have to looking into it some more." He turned to leave. "I also have to treat these burn wounds. I think they are scarring. Follow me if you wish." He walked away from the pair.

Dusk then noticed another burn. "Talon...you did that, didn't you?" She began walking to Joker, Talon followed, "Sorry..." Shaking her head, the hybrid asked. "Is he going to be ok, Joker?" Talon stayed back, not wanting to intrude. These two seemed to know each other, and it was a little discomforting.
Since when did my little Shadow Cat come out of herself? Talon wondered.

"If my madness senses are correct....yes. He will be okay. But when we get to my place, you can't be around him. It won't be safe for the first couple of hours when I find the source of what attacked him. It's out of safety for you, you understand. "Afterwards, I promise you can see him. Though he will be heavily sedate because these burns look nasty." He lead them to a secluded home on the outskirts of the city. "This place is highly protected from all forces I can think of." Upon entering he turned the lights on to a modest looking home. "Make yourselfs at home. The kitchen is there. If you need alcohol it's in the freezer. I'll be in the room." Before he went in he looked pointed at both. "Knock before entering." He twitched and closed the door locking it. Monty had came out of the kitchen. He grunted and then put his gun away. "Need a drink?" His voice gruff.

Both nodded at Joker, and then at Monty. "Sure, Monty, right?" Talon just stayed silent. What have you been doin, Dusk? He thought. This was totally different from the Dusk he knew from a few weeks. She was still shy, but she wasn't silent, wasn't as...lonerish.

"Yea. Monty. Does he want a drink too?" He said pointing at Talon. He eyed him suspiciously but didn't voice it. It wasn't his place to say anything. All he did was supply the weapons and shot the hell out of people and going about his merry way. If one could call him a merry type.
Joker looked Kyoshi's wounds. "Maybe I'll just try to fix those burns. I can't say you'll not leave here with scars. Poor b*****d." He'll fix his mind up after he fixed his body the thought as a check list.
"Welcome to Casa de Monty and Joker." Monty said as a way of greeting, even though he was a bit late for it.

Nodding, Dusk muttered, "Thanks..." Slowly walking to a couch, she sat down, realizing issue after issue. Talon looked at Monty, "Sure, if you don't mind. Name's Talon." He walked to Dusk, crouching in front of her.
"You gonna be ok?"
"...I don't know..."
(Ok, when it's in bold/italics and in some other color other than black, it's in elvish.)

Monty left them to get the drinks and Joker came out of the room, wipping his bloody hands on a white towel. It was a messy business but he did it. He cleaned up the wounds as much as he could but the damage was done. He looked over to the two. "It's going to take longer to see him." He twitched some more and groaned softly. Walking to a drawer in the corner he took out some meds and took three different pills. They were large pills with heavy doses to stop the twitches. Looking back at them. "Did you notice anything odd about Kyoshi before you left the apartment?" He asked Dusk. Monty came out with drink for everyone. Joker drowned his to wash down his meds.

Not saying anything, Dusk just shook her head. Nothing was odd, really. But... she was more concerned about getting out of the place to do the job. Still, she and Kyoshi had been messing around, and nothing was odd then. Talon looked at her.
"Dusk?"
Looking at him, she whispered, still in the elvish tongue. I don't understand... I really don't... is it because of me?
And Talon's blood boiled.

Joker gave his glass back to Monty. "Good news is he's going to be normal when I'm done with him but he'll be sore and pissed off. Bad news-" "Bro. You just said the bad news." Monty replied. "I did?" He thought about it for a moment. "Yes. I did. At least those are good signs. Better than him ripping everyone to shreds." "Whatever. He won't be the only one pissed off. You should know Dusk that Casanova sold us out to the highest bidder. Which one I'm not sure but from what little information got out of him it was by a single man. Nothing else has come up and we were to late to pick up Casanova and finish the job." "You. He would have been a good candidate from experimenting on." Joker muttered. "Again with that? Bro. Chill out. Your freaking insane. Who the hell would want you as a doctor/scientist thing?" Monty growled. "First of all, I wouldn't mind. Secondly, I at least care about my job." Monty snorted gruffly. Had this been any other situation it would have been funny but since things were not well it was just two men bickering. "Give me two hours to help Kyoshi. If not then you can blow him up and see if that works." Monty smirked abit. Joker walked into the room again and went to work. There were advantages to being insane. "We won't really blow him up without your permission Dusk." He reassured.

Dusk nodded, still in a quandary. Talon sighed. "So...he's gonna be ok?" He spoke for Dusk, knowing that that was what she wanted to hear. Dusk also wanted to hear that it wasn't her fault, but he refused to voice that.

After two hours, Joker came out and wipped his forehead. "He's in stable condition. If you want Dusk you can go and see him." He said looking at her. "So. You were able to save the Angel." "Yeah. Though he was trying to fight it from the inside. Whatever kind of hold they had on him, he had this force of will to fight it. There was a blurly picture in his mind that kept him going." Joker looked at Dusk, with a raised brow and twitched. "It seems he was trying to fight whatever it was to get back to you Dusk." Turning towards the kitchen. "That's just how my madness sees it." "Which is often right." Muttered Monty following him.

Talon smiled at Dusk, "Hey, ya here that?"
She finally looked up. He shouldn't have fought...at least not for me...
Eyes wide, Talon took her hand. You insane?
It's true.
No. It's not. You like him, he's willing to fight hell for you. Dusk...don't lose this guy.
I need to go home.
Standing up, Dusk murmured. "Take me to him, please?" She didn't remember what room he was in, since she wasn't really looking when Joker gave his explanation.

Joker walked back out of the kitchen with long strides and lead Dusk to the room where Kyoshi was. Joker stayed quiet and closed the door behind them. Kyoshi was on a bed with his arm, half of his torso, neck and face wrapped in bandages. His eyes were opened a crack. He could see her blurly figure at the door. "Dusk?" He murmured softly.

Looking at Kyoshi, Dusk muttered, "Hey." But, she stayed exactly where she was. Something was wrong in her mind. In the mind of Dusk, this was all her fault, even though somewhere in her, she knew that this would have happened even if she wasn't there. But, at the moment, Dusk was blaming herself for not only this, but also for all of the other things.
Zaine's death, Ziggy having to live in constant motion, breaking Talon's heart...
The death of her mother...

He worked his hand alittle bit. It hurt but there was still motion. "Come here please?" He stretched out his hand to her. He had to tell what happened to him. He had to apologize to her. Reassure her. He felt like hell for putting her through this. Again this was his fault. He hurt her.
