Billie turned away from Livi placing her flute on her lap, "Mystic won't do something like that, strict as he may be, he is a good person. And if I ask him to lessen up on being strict, he may do it. But, he won't kill you or anyone. I know him and he's my good friend. I'll follow him anywhere. And...you just admitted to being a Villain, if you haven't noticed."

"Yes, I know," Livi growled. "I said I'm not a murderer earlier, too. Besides, your good friend he may be, but I know people. Wave, I grew up with villains for several years of my life, and I was a servant before that. I know cruelty. I was forced to be a villain to save my life, and if I ever stop, I'll be killed. Unless I'm already dead, of course." She glanced meaningfully at Billie, who wasn't looking at her. "These villains forced me to become one of them. And I'm not lying. Look at me, Wave. Wouldn't you be able to tell if I was lying or not using your soundwaves?"

Billie sighed a bit, "I grew up to be a protector of my planet, forced to stay there until the day I lost my sound. I didn't want that, so I can here and became a part of the Legion, I protect people, but in my own way. It is my choice. And you have a choice too, if you stop being a villain, the Legion will protect you. And Olivia, I won't use my soundwaves on you, it makes me feel dirty doing that. I can read your emotions though through my waves, and whether you realize it or not, you are emmiting very large waves," she laughed lightly, "You are too easy to read."

"You don't understand," Livi pleaded. She no longer cared if she sounded weak - what could they do to her now? "These villains - they are murderers, Wave. They tried to make me one, but I refused." She shuddered. "Wave, these people will kill just for the fun of it. I saw them do it the day I joined them - involuntarily, of course. They said I needed to know what I was getting in to. One of them tied me up...and held me still...while the others attacked and murdered hundreds." She blinked back tears. "There's only six of them, Wave, but they're more powerful than six hundred of the strongest warriors. I can't let any of you fight against them. I'd do it myself, but...I'm no killer, and they are. It's so hard to explain." Without thinking, she leaned against the wall, letting out a bloodcurdling scream. Then, motionless, she slumped to the ground.

Billie got up and looked at her, "I told her not to touch the wall," she took up her flute and began playing a loud, long tune, her hair lifting up around her. She even used the speakers in her hands and used the one in her chest, one she rarely used, but did use when she needed her ability to be powerful. She felt the shocks enter her body as she played, but she continued to blow into her flute.

Even half-dead, Livi understood why she had been told not to touch the wall, even by accident. Her body was aching all over and she wondered if her hair, like Billie's, had been singed off. No matter - it was already short. She sighed, unconscious, and only thought one thing: If she had been so badly injured simply by brushing the wall, what would have happened if she had hit it harder?

Billie panicked a bit playing her flute as loud as she could to help Livi. She closed her eyes and focused on reaching Nathan with her waves Nathan, I need you. Olivia has touched the wall and is injured badly. I'm trying my hardest to keep her unharmed here. I have also gathered information you might want to know. Please hurry, I'm running out of sound.

Nathan sipped his coffee as Altiar finished the form. Nathan took it from him and placed it inside a manilla file. Then, he printed his name on the tab, and the file dissappeared in Nathan's hand. He put his coffee down, which also did the dissappearing act, and leaned on the table. "So, Altiar. You were born on the Satilite, Albion? Wasn't that a genetic research lab?" Nathan asked. He knew the question was completely unrelated, but he asked it anyway. "Must suck to have been apart of a genetic experiment. I'm truly sorry for you. But, that is irrelavent." Nathan leaned back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest. "What were you doing on Legion property without any access forms, with a terrorist, and why did you help her? Did you not know who she was? Or what she was doing here?" Nathan asked the questions, but then reached out with his mind and invaded his as non-chalant as possible. He didn't want him to know he was getting answers, the truths, whether he liked it or not. It was bad for reputation, but it was part of the interrigator's motive and job. That is why all telepaths were listed on interrigation duty. Nathan sighed inwardly. He hated interrigation. It was terribly annoying and tidius. And he had to interigate two clowns today. Great, he thought to himself. Then, he felt Billie's thoughts reaching to him. He thought back to her. Don't worry, it's an illusion spell. She'll think she's hurt badly, and it'll feel like it, but she's fine. The walls do give off a mild shock though, so don't touch the insides. (((Yeah, Joe. Thats fine.)))

Livi's eyes flickered open, just for a brief second, then they closed again. She was not awake, but her reflexes were still working - she could hear Billie call to Nathan, and she thought she felt Nathan coming. Of course, she could easily have been imagining it - she was, of course, unconscious.

Billie hit her knees, and stopped playing her flute setting at her side panting. She looked at Livi and then thought back to Nathan, You could have mentioned that little tidbit before I went using a lot of my power. Oh, you are getting it later. She wiped the sweat from her brow and watched Livi, "You'll be fine..."

Somehow, even in a state of unconsciousness, Livi could speak to Billie in her mind. Wave, I'm okay, she murmured. Don't exhaust yourself. I think Mystic's coming, but I can't be sure - there's so much magic around here that it might be interfering. Besides, if I die now...at least the villains can't do it. Please, Wave. Don't hurt yourself for my sake.

Billie gave her a soft smile, "Olivia...its my job to help people. And I won't let you die, even if I have to blow my speakers out I'll do it. If you live, you'll be able to live a free life to do whatever you wish. I'll even be your friend."

You mean...you'll free me? Even asleep, Livi's heart leapt. You'll grant me freedom? But I thought...I thought you weren't allowed to. Her eyes shot open, and this time, they stayed there. "And Wave...I'd love for you to be my friend. I've never had a friend before...not one that wasn't a villain, that is." She gave a wry smile. "You have no idea what it would mean for me to be your friend."

Altair looked away. "I...I don't like to talk about the Station. Albion was a bad place. I'm glad I'm gone." He looked back up, right into Nathan's eyes. "And I apologize for being on your...Legion, was it? Your Legion's property. I was out for a walk and Livi - that is, Olivia - stopped me. We started talking, and before I knew it, we were running. I mean, you blew up a wall!" Altair shook his head slightly. "But to answer your question, no, I didn't know who she was. And she really didn't seem like a bad person to me. I kinda liked her." He shrugged one shoulder to say, Eh, what can you do?

Billie gave her a small smile, "I cannot free you now, but if you agree to tell Mystic your story, I'll do everything I can to make sure you get freedom and protection," she sighed a bit and looked at her, "I will be your friend and if anyone dares harm you, I will take care of them. It would be nice to have a friend that likes me by choice. The Legion likes me for my powers and now they are starting to like me for me."
