The company was not happy about a wrath child coming back into the facility. The technician who was in charge of this gathering was different from the last that Duncan and his gaurdian had encountered. For one ...this one was a woman. Slightly pudgy her hair tied up in a tight bun and her lips seemed to be perminantly pursed.
She stood agitated as having to wait. Tapping her heeled foot and a well manacured nail. How she ever became a lab assistant was anyone's guess.

It wasn't that long after Duncan's temporary escape that the pair of them were returning to the labs. It was a visit that neither of them really wanted to be part of but both knew would be a good idea. Duncan needed help controlling his moments of rage and the best place to seek help would be from the people that created the boy.
Duncan was dragging his feet, growling at everything that moved, and all three of his eyes narrowed. He hated this places, hated everyone here save Jhor, and resented the fact that he had to ask them for help. His nails were digging into his palms and his wings were twitching behind him, "Stupid." He muttered as they walked along.
"Come on now Duncan, you agreed to this." June said, ruffling his boy's hair.
Duncan gave a twitch before nodding. The serene calm he'd felt after waking from his last episode was all but gone now. As his exhaustion faded so did his calm, he wanted that nice feeling back and that was the only reason he was here. If he only he could get that back...
"Hello." June greeted the woman, seeming quite happy over the fact that they had a new person this time around. Even if she looked a little unhappy surely she would be better then the last guy... he hoped...

The woman's gaze narrowed on the pair as they entered the facility. She gave a curt nod to them both as she was greeted.
"Good morning. I trust you know why you are here." She said her voice was pleasant enough to listen but brisk...like most of the people who worked here. Apparantly there was always something to do here or be done.
Turning she gave a wave for the pair to follow. "Come come no use for dilly dallying. The other technicians are eager to start." She may as well of said 'get this over with' instead. It was obvious that they weren't happy to have Duncan back....but at least were willing to try and work through his problem anyway.
"So you mentioned that your...'son' is experiencing bouts of unbrideled rage." She stated more than asked, "Are these provoked instances? or are they happening with a lack of provoction as well?" SHe asked her pen poised as they walked down a long corridor.
"We will have to see just how much of Wrath is influencing Duncan. To test this we have a series of trials and situations we will be forced to put him through. Are you still willing to go through with this?" She inquired. At least she seemed to have more care for the outcome of this meeting. Maybe it was because she was a woman. Maybe she did actually care...though it didn't appear so on the otside.

He followed after her, "Yes, he has moments where anger brings it about but other times he is just overcome by it, times when nothing is happening around him. He seems at times unable to feel the kinder emotions even when he tries."
Duncan lowered his gaze to the ground when he heard those words, all true but he still didn't like hearing it out loud. He didn't want to suffer from things! He was so lost in thought that he didn't realize his father had stopped until he was running into the backs of his legs.
The red skinned boy lifted one clawed hand up to rub at his forehead, surprised upon seeing the stormy look on his father's face.
"Go through with it..." June breathed before he gave a hissing sound, anger was evident in his stance, "Who the Hell... I came here to talk to you people, see if you could help him! I didn't come here to let you prod at him with sticks. Hes not a lab rat."
Duncan stepped closer to his father, planning the man between himself and the scary woman, "No!" He snapped out, he wouldn't let them! He didn't want to go into the red rages!
June turned and laid a hand on his son's hair, soothing it, "I should have known looking for help here was foolish."

Stopping the woman turned her face was serious to the point where it looked like she was going to get angry herself. Instead she tucked the pencil behind her ear and then let out a slow deep breath.
"You do realize that we are the only ones who have even the slightest of chances to help him right?" She explained though it looked as if she were deciding to send them away instead. Her tolerance for the unthankful very low.
"We have to deal with his real father on a day to day baises. We have lost some good people because of him...do you want your son to turn out the same way?" She inquired throwing a glower in June's direction.
"Though we may not be the most compassionate of people we do care what happens to the children. If you don't wish to at least try and work this through with us you best leave now." Her tone was firm and final.

June gave a snort, "Good people, I wonder if there are any here that could be seen as such." He muttered under his breath before looking over at her, "I don't know what you deal with and why, I just want to protect my son and he is my son. Not that of your killer monster any longer, I have adopted him as my own."
"It would be remiss of me to leave here without gaining some help but that doesn't mean I will allow you to experiment on him any more then you have. What sort of father would I be if I allowed it."
Duncan clung to the man, his trio of eyes squeezing shut and his nails dug in so he could anchor himself to June, "June." He whimpered, not about to release his hold on the man, "Leave." He just wanted to leave, they could figure it out on their own!

Looking postively rabid the woman seemed a loss for words. How dare he speak to her this way? The people in this facility has jobs to do! And she wasn't going to let this..this ..MAN interfere.
"Why how...how.." She seemed to angry to find the right combinations of words to form a sentence or perhaps it was an insult. There was the sound of a door opening, then approaching foot steps.
A tap on her shoulder and she was about to release her wrath upon whomever dared touch her only to pale.

Before the woman stood a rather tall pale skinned silver haired male. He smiled at the woman pleasantly before speaking.
"Now now...what seems to be the problem here? I certainly hope your are treating our guests with the respect they deserve." The man's voice was low, and smooth as honey. His eyes held a strange golden light as her calmly observed the situation.
In one hand he carried the blackest of brief cases, he was dress immaculately. A business suit and everything. He had an air of importance about him, one couldn't help but notice the golden pen adorning his dress pocket.

June looked over at the new man, about to unless more of his unhappy words at him when he gave pause. The man seemed different, calmer, and he didn't act as in any way like the others here he'd met. He tilted his head to the side before releasing a pent up breath. He didn't want to insult the man without just cause.
"I just have no desire to let them go about their plan of prodding at my son." He said, slightly calmer for the moment, "I am here to get him help not to let them have their fun with him."
Duncan lifted his head from where he had it hiding, starring up at the man in front of him. His trio of eyes blinked, head tilting to the side. He seemed for a moment mesmerized by the man.

The woman looks abashed as if the newcomer had just scolded her for her bad behavoir..she mumbeled something unintelligable and then shook her head. She then stepped to the side and allowed the presidant of the company to take over.

As if expecting the woman to do this the man stepped forward and offered both June and Duncan a small bow.
"My apologies for my companies rudeness, I have been absent as of late. I do hope that you haven't been treated like this since you adopted your son." The man's gaze slipped towards Duncan's an ever present serene smile on his face. It seemed unnatural if it weren't for the fact he seemed to be sincere.
"Now what brings you to my establishment?" He asked then stopping turned and took the clipboard out of the technicians hands with no resistance. He glanced over the page quickly, skimming over it before smiling.
"Ah I see. Your Duncan." He continued after a moment.

June gave a shrug, "I suppose people locked up in a lab all day aren't versed well in the social aspects of life." He said simply. This man seemed pretty powerful he thought to himself. The woman had been more then happy to just step aside and leave the man to do her job.
"We just came to talk to someone about helping Duncan, I didn't know what all that would entail. I suppose I should have though." He had a moment where he felt a bit weak, he wasn't able to help his son in calming his rage but he would do all he could to protect him from the weirdos of this place.
Duncan blinked before giving a nod of his head, "Ahhh..." He looked away for a moment and then back, liking his mans voice, "Yes." He told him, to agree that he was in fact Duncan. Not that the clipboard he had in front of him wouldn't tell the man.

Smiling, his eyes slid closed when he smiled, it was a strange quirk. But he didn't seem to pause or stop as he nodded his head listening to June politely.
"Well then that is a problem. We can't have such a young child not enjoy his childhood. " He mused and then nodded again.
"Well then I am sure you wouldn't object to a few tests. I assure you there won't be any prodding." he said with a laugh.
"mostly questions I need to ask the boy, and some flash cards. We will also need to measure his strength as well." He concluded thinking it over a moment.
"Of course only with you and Duncan's permission."

June fell silent, thinking that over. It did seem a lot safer then what the woman had been suggesting, he didn't think that Duncan could be hurt by answering questions or looking at some flash cards...
Duncan gave a nod, "Ummm..." He looked up to his father, "Ok." He could do that, it should be easy enough to do from the sounds of it.
The tall man gave a bit of a smile, "If your sure." He said before turning to the man, "Alright, so long as its as simple as you say he can do it."

"ah yes...how rude of me. I am Mr. Vampy, the owner of this establishment." He said reaching into his breast pocket and pulling out a card that his has named scrawled over it in elegant writing, subtext underneath it read 'At Wishco we make wishes come true' .
"Of course Mr. Vampy is just a nick name." He said with a laugh though he didn't offer his real name and turned. "Come come we will do the tests in my office. Much less sterile than these halls." He continued walkinga few short strides to where a beautiful oak door stood.
He opened it and gestured for the pair to step inside.
