The way she dressed you'd think it was a funeral. Well, aside from the blonde highlights and ruby lipstick, all bringing out her emerald hues that seemed...almost robotic. (Think Blind Mag from "Repo! The Genetic Opera") She'd look to her partner who dressed in dirtiest clothing she'd ever seen, nothing complimenting his pale body, not even his long brown hair or hazel eyes. (Think Grave Robber from "Repo! The Genetic Opera") "So how long do we need to wait, Mr. Robber? I'm not a big fan of just biding time."
"Oh be quiet. I'm not sure what he's doing, but it's important enough to send out the two of us...and I heard Feign and Incognito were even sent out." He'd look to her and grin, and old lantern in his hand. He'd move through the graveyard, knowing she was close behind.
"Those two? I'm surprised he didn't just send out the Brothers of Idiocy. I mean, I know what the second job was, just not who went. I suppose he wanted to get the job done." She'd shrug her slender shoulders and follow right behind him, rather fearful of graveyards even given her power.
"Seems strange I know who he sent and you know the job, but it ends there." He'd reach a large, empty crypt and use a key to open the door, and upon entering it was more like a living room with gothic couches and a TV, the noise drowned out with magic. Fridge, sink...everything. He'd move to sit on an old chair and grin. "So tell me Dread, what are they up to?"
She'd b-line straight for the chair and miss. She'd stomp the ground in frustration and take a seat on the couch, curling up soon enough. "He sent them to wherever that traitorous vampire b***h and her new human lover went off to. I know they were supposed to make sure Gilgy was happy with the deal...but as always, Kain is cryptic with his words." Again she'd shrug.
He'd get up and move to the fridge, grabbing a beer and tossing one to Dread. He'd sit back down and turn on the TV, rather happy to find a horror movie marathon taking place unedited. Of course this made Dread squeal and clap her hands in joy, which made him drink. Damn she was loud. "Think he meant for them to kill the lovers?"
"Oh who cares? What's the world with or without some sissy leech and a human?" They'd both shrug, both drink and both begin watching Freddy torment Johnny Depp.

(After taking Annette here)
They'd both appear within the crypt, he at the comfy chair and her at the couch. Oddly enough he didn't see his cohorts...though upon the floor he found their clothing, leading back into the only room with a bed. He'd arch a brow and curse his more then amazing hearing; damn springs going up and down were like nails on a chalkboard. He'd growl and wave his arm through the air, each piece of clothing lighting fire and quickly disposing of them. He'd shut off the TV and land himself in the chair, instructing Annette to sit.
"Please ignore all noise AND the fact that two individuals sharing nearly identical DNA feel they needed to better know each other's body's...oh, and ignore the fact they're supposed to be doing a job." He'd offer her and awkward grin and hang his head in shame for a moment before focusing on Annette. Finally, his face was serious.
"You've taken in a lot of power; I'd of warned you about the Time s**t I do, but...well, no time. Because you took it in, I've tried to give you enough power to use it without ripping your muscles to shreds." He'd lean forward, forearms and his knees and stare at her. "Just like everyone else, Migoto excluded, you've been thrown into so much without even being given a choice. The blame lies on myself, Zadkiel and Spiral. You have my apologies for what I've done...and I want to warn and beg of you: Just because you have the potential for limitless power does NOT mean you should seek it out...look what it did to me; how happy I am and how popular I am. Take what you NEED; use what you NEED. Be what I should of been..."

Annette had to stable herself as they appeared in the new room. She wasn't use to just materializing out of no where per-say. She took a seat on the couch as instructed, and avoided focusing too much on the sounds that carried from the other room.
She listened to what Kain had to say quietly, then nodded. "I assure you, I had a reason for copying the time dilation, and I had no interest in using it without first finding a way around tearing my self to shreds." She explained. "If stopping time could be used on a smaller scale, it would make so many things easier when it came to things like surgeries and helping to stop bleeding from serious wounds. I was taking a medical stand point with it you see." She tried to offer a small smile, not use to doing so in front of people. "I was a doctor before I was turned, and old habits die hard."

"A doctor? Hm...your personality tells me your were in it to help people rather then profit...though come on, the profit would be tremendous if one could figure out your mystery! I mean, I could personally, but if a mortal ever gained such knowledge..." He'd look to her and shrug. "Honestly, I have no idea. Once I learned how to do what that field allows me to do...there was no need to seek anything else. Why use a lower technique when you've mastered the highest?" He'd offer her a smile and sigh.
"We hardly know one another...we've seen one another here and there, talked minuscule amounts and no doubt you've heard say of me. Still I care for you as a responsible elder brother should his little sister...because of the blood we share from a truly evil individual who's power you now have." He'd lean in closer to her, glaring not at her, but through her eyes at what was inside of her. "You have the power to destroy and rebuild more then just lives...to manipulate nations, deceive friends and lovers, corrupt the world...words are useless."
He'd disappear from his seat and appear knelt before her. He'd take her hand and make a small hole, enough to blood, and slice his own forehead and slam her hand into the wound. Within an instant, the room would light up like a movie theater, replaying his entire past. Or at least the key points. The good person he was as a child, his brothers and their peaceful life. It would then switch to Kain massacring his parents who seemed to bare noble garments from their previous peasant ones. It would skip to him meeting Vincent and fighting in his army, and at a point of nearly dying on the field, Vincent turning him. From there, it would flood with thousands of missions, none of which anything to take pride in other then one that would seem to last longer, one focusing on a priestess where he seemed to be fighting Vincent's army to defend her. It would then switch to his betrayal of Vincent and ventures through Japan, gaining Muramasa, Masamune and Murasame. It would then flash to something odd: Kain in heaven, the armor of Zadkiel about him while he stood NEXT to Zadkiel and several others in the armor beneath one gloriously portrayed figure. It would show Kain and Zadkiel's first fight, which included his little brother Hiro. It would show Kain throw down his armor and his wings turn black while falling. It would flash through more random moments; The Black Rose era, his work as a rogue, his work as a Ruler...the crumbling of an Empire and destruction of a world. In between each event, she's see the women; the families he had that he either turned on or they'd turned on him...and in all of this time, she'd see him gain each power; see how much more he strived for more.
When he'd take her hand from his head he'd move back to his chair and allow his wound to heal. "I've done more in a few centuries then most would dream of doing in an eternity. People think a few centuries is a long time...but it's not. I'm not as old as people think; no elder. But that's not the point. You saw how I was so nice, and eventually, I gained that power...and some more...and eventually, I had to have it all. And now I do, and Annette: I have NOTHING to show for it. I sacrificed everything...those few friends are dead. The ones I loved are dead. My world...well, you saw it. I destroyed it. All because being the greatest meant everything...I had to fight to gain back my own damn castle. I had to act like Vincent to establish any grounds in this world. Now, I have Hell in a box floating up there with a cannon that's missing its battery now. And I have Romania. In essence, that is a lot...at the same time, it's not."
Again he'd lean in. "I think you're better then I am, Annette. Smarter, and stronger in the right places: Mind, Will...Heart. Everywhere it MATTERS. Never let fear...or Greed...or even vanity have their way." He'd smile, then try to clarify and lighten up a subject. "And yes, I indeed love you, but as a brother would his sister. Not like the freaks of nature I've created..."

"I've become quite good at hiding my abilities while working, I assure you. I worked at several hospitals while Vincent was gone, clear up until I was summoned back to the castle." she explained. She looked at him as he stared at her, not blinking as he explained her new powers, ones she'd still hadn't completely tapped into yet. "I never asked for all this power, nor did I go looking for it." she wanted to assure him that her ability to copy powers wasn't going to go to her head, though as he moved and cut her hand, then his head, she watched silently at his past memories.
As it finished, she had more then a couple questions, but she again stayed silent until he finished, she even smirked at his joke. "Do plan on trying to start over here then?" she asked. "If you have everything you wanted other then the ability to go back and fix your past errors, do you plan on trying to start a new chapter here in Romania?"

"I've made several transitions between this world and what was my original; I'm used to the energies of this world and I have, if nothing else, somewhere I can call home. Granted the air here is a bit thinner then what I enjoy I'm in no position to complain." He'd lay back into the chair and rest his arms on the proper rests looking comfortable and proud. "I don't regret doing it nor do I look to repent for it; if anything someone ought to give me a damn reward. But, leaving me to my country is good enough...more then others would give me for my work."
He'd look to the room where his clones were...spitting upon his gift. He'd grin and begin to fill the room with something; reminders of Death, something they both felt they held power over and were beyond...delusions brought upon by their fear. He'd look back to Annette and smile as he listened to their screams. "Tell me: Where do you stand with all of this turmoil? Spiral's sudden need for world domination, Zadkiel's sudden need to change the world altogether...what is it you're fighting for?"

Annette sat with her hands folded on her lap, pondering Kains question a moment. "To be quite honest, I've been asking myself that same question since Vincent died. I'm so use to being told what to do, I planned on going back to France once things settled down here." She looked at him a moment, seeming somewhat lost in thought. "I didn't expect a lot of things to happen."
She looked to the room where the screaming was coming from, then back to him, smirking with nostalgia. "I'm partial to take out those that think they're better then others due to their "holy" ways, however." she stressed that word Holy a bit. "Zadkiel may be an angel, but I still don't think that gives him any more of a right to warp the world to his vision. He's kind of a loose cannon if you ask me."

"Zadkiel...the Archangel Zadkiel and his beloved Violet Flame, Bringer of the Age of Aquarius! I'm pretty sure that's what he's trying to do as we speak...but he's just a scared little boy if you think about it. The things in his head scare him so much he learns to reject them. Things like the truth, or sight of lower angels. He fears pain so much he creates barriers over barriers until he feels safe." He'd laugh while a twisted grin would curl his lips. "Get right in his face and show no fear...and he'll lose it. If even for a moment, you can see the fear in his eye!" He'd sigh, then shrug. "Lucifer rebelled and chose to live life through free will. Thus, the first angel was set free from Heaven's shackles, moving to a new world and claiming it Hell under it's own rule. Zadkiel wants to do the same I believe, though I think he'd rather take a world already developing; less work for him to do. He doesn't seem to understand his own heritage."
He'd lean back and fold his arms, his fingers tapping against whatever flesh they could find. "Whatever's wrong with him, whatever his intentions, he needs to die. Sadly I can't keep using him as a battery...something bothers me though." He'd look to the ceiling as if talking to someone different. "Raziel's yet to interfere...no gruesome low-choir angels or anything. I don't think He's on par with Zadkiel, or I'd prefer to believe he's at least a bit better then that. Furthermore, the Vatican remains silent..." He'd look to Annette and think for a moment. A long moment. Several minutes. The silence would soon grow long, possibly making things uncomfortable. "I have nothing."

Rather coincidental Kain had looked up at that moment as Raziel had perched atop the homage to the dead only moments before. From the outside one could see His winged beauty with ease, though from anywhere else He was without existence; no aura or energy. Nothing to track. Extended vision, such as Kain's and even mere thermal or x-ray would not see him. Only the naked eye. To boot, He was completely silent, nothing on Him, or anything he did causing a dingle decibel. He'd grin as He watched Kain start to ramble on about Him. "Don't go n' count me out now before I can get in the ring ta fight the fight! You best be holdin' your ticket close 'cause the show's not even started ya leech traitor!" That...might be heard. He'd spoken out loud in His normal voice, not the voice he tried to use when being "proper." He'd stand atop the crypt and wave, ready to leave now that He was sure He was blown. "Be seein' ya soon enough, ya tricky devil!" He'd snicker to Himself and begin to float away with His wings before vanishing, though unlike Zadkiel, there was no light to be seen. Wherever He'd gone to, Raziel Himself would take the time to explain to absolutely no one how that worked. "Here n' there n' that's all there be to it."

"The vatican remains silent about anything that makes what they believe look bad." Annette pointed out as Kain started with his silent stretch. She took note of the angel however, none to worried since he seemed to be keeping to himself and simply wanting it to be let known he wasn't out just yet. Once Kain came back she looked at him. "I do believe you just missed him."

"The angel we just heard...it wasn't Zadkiel. Quite frankly, I'm not aware of ANYONE that can completely suppress their power and loom over me...much less give it away by sounding like an Irishman on a good day. I only know two with that accent and one of them happens to have been recently removed from the soil here and buried in in my cemetery." He knew who it was. He'd heard the words loud and clear and indeed gone to check with that small trace of hope he hadn't left just to "make a point." He'd make his way back to his chair and hunch forward as he sat while biting his lower lip.
"The Vatican...you have to wonder what they think; there isn't a chance in hell they've missed the fact their beloved Archangel is floating about." He had decided to shift topics completely, the topic of this recent angel obviously making him rather uncomfortable. "Zadkiel's bound to have hold over the religious zealots of the world and he knows how to move his pieces when need be. He wouln't make the same mistake twice, and given the amount he made the first time around I think he's...a large threat." He'd stare at Annette, then grin. He had an idea for a game, something he could never tire of...games, that was. "I just revealed my entire life to you. Tell me...how many siblings do I have?"

Annette had turned in her seat as Kain went to check where the angel went off too. She knew it wasn't Zadkiel, she'd expect him to gloat more and give his 'I'm so more important than you' speech or something. As he came back to sit and switch topics, she let own mind wonder a moment, it wasn't teh vatican that bothered her. "I'm curious more with why Zadkiel wanted the Lich." she pointed out.
At his question she tilted her head slightly, a bit curious as to why that particular question. "Three." she answered. "Your two brothers for sure, and if third would be myself if your still counting me."

"You're smart...I figured you were going to say two out of ignorance of a brother, or fail include yourself. Nice to see you're one for detail, but yeah, three. You're right here with me, the oldest of the straight Sh'Zual blood is ALSO here, the second in line is lying in a crypt resting in a well deserved piece...and the youngest in constantly driving a writhing thorn deeper into my side. Get comfortable...I get to explain a whole lot. Again." He'd offer her a kind smile then think of where to begin, though while he thought he'd remove a necklace from his shirt, one that seemed like a coin with the head of a goat on it, though the goat's head seemed to spike off in a non-coincidental inverted star formation.
"You've seen God, and you've seen what these people call the Devil, or at least one of them in my visions." He'd twirl the nearly ageless relic and watch it spin. "I worked in Heaven for a while. God saw me as someone who needed forgiveness, and someone who's power he could make use of. So he so kindly took me in...it didn't take long to figure out Heaven's not quite what you might think. God has a name: Raziel. Throughout scriptures the name Raziel is mentioned as different things, but the oldest scriptures reveal His name and I confirmed it with Zadkiel. He, that is Raziel, saw the world for what it could be and thus made his move early on in Earth's life. With power like that, it wouldn't be hard for a few angels to fool humans into believing...well, pick your bible. In the end it doesn't matter; it's all the same crap in the end. Now what's different is the concept of Lucifer. Initially in the bible, Lucifer was never mentioned as having ever even descended from rank, but humans can't read. They hear and believe what makes them happy. I've also found it odd for the longest time that each angel had the suffix 'iel' while Lucifer lacked it when he and Raziel were the first. Well...she and Raziel. It makes sense, though...convert the story of Adam and Lilith into Raziel and Lucifer and s**t suddenly makes sense."
He'd toss the pendant to her, hoping the ancient relic's negative energy wouldn't react with her nor the relic herself make her sick from the essence of evil stored in it. "So. We have Raziel and Lucifer on top. Lucifer refuses to bow down to the whims of Raziel and is thus banished form Eden, which is in turn Heaven itself. From what she told me, Lucifer chose to left; to find a world without Raziel's primitive influence though Raziel claims he banished her. Honestly, I don't give a damn who's right. So, Lucifer finds her own world, one made up of the opposite composition of Heaven, Heaven having been rich with positive, or 'Light' energy. Lucifer chose to dwell in the opposite knowing that in doing so, one could never conquer the other and would always remain opposite each other. The negative, or thick 'Dark' energy of what was soon called Hell distorted Lucifer. She kept the form of the beautiful woman she was on the inside, able only to show herself in said form with a source of Light nearby. The form that world turned her into was sculpted, here on Earth. It's called the Baphomet Idol. Head of a goat, body of a naked woman, wings of the cliched demon with a crown baring the inverted pentagram." He'd nod to the coin and grin. "That was a gift, so I could remember her face. Honestly I look at it, think of her, and then get the urge to east grass..."
He'd take a deep breath, obviously beginning to struggle with something. Still, his trembling would pass and he'd continue. "So you have two prideful, powerful individuals. Lucifer never created more then she needed; mindless minions to do her bidding mostly. Still, it was not a NEW planet. Mephistopheles, Satan the Beast, Azrael...these names, often other names for Lucifer dubbed the Devil by Raziel, belonged to the stronger entities of that world. Lucifer herself has not seen Earth. Now we look at Heaven, a world that gave birth to Raziel as its first. Raziel then created the first angels - large, demented beasts more demonic then most demons, demons having been the title given the dwellers of Hell. These angels were massive; distorted...few scriptures talk about them this way. But, in honesty, most angels were like this. Of course, some were made different. I don't know what he did, but the creation of the Seven Archangels wasn't the same as the countless freak angels. With the seven in place, he then began the choirs; it kinda goes on like the books say from here."
Amazingly he didn't screw up any of his statements. He figured he'd doomed himself to a knotted tongue there, but alas he'd finished. "I tell you all of that...for no real reason. Just wanted you to know of Lucifer and try to make you understand Raziel a bit. Raziel only matters...because he was the one listening to us. This marks the first time he's come to Earth himself rather then using a scout or a Metatron. I'm guessing he's none to happy with Zadkiel's new plans...but there are some minds and souls I can't read. And quite frankly Raziel makes me uncomfortable; I escaped Heaven. No battle, just me running and getting lucky since Lucifer decided to aid me. But none of that matters. What DOES matter, and my entire point, is that Raziel's now here himself for some reason. And he's more of an arrogant p***k then I am and even more so a sore loser so I think the feathered ******** are really becoming a nuisance. Now, as for Zadkiel and the Lich..."
He'd grin. She'd be the first to see his source of power in material form. He hadn't shown anyone since he'd obtained it and always wanted to show it off, so naturally he was grinning. He'd stand and even laugh a bit. "Alright, I'm gonna use something that goes beyond my Hyper Time Dilation, something that slaps reality like a b***h...I need to explain it so you can use it properly with that armor. This trick...is derived from a superhuman ability only humans seem to posses. Now, make sure to breath." He'd laugh and hold his hands apart, the left forming a Dark sphere and the right a Light sphere. He'd smash them together as if performing a D-Angel technique, creating an extreme amount of pressure in the entire cemetery. But, the orbs wouldn't explode they'd keep coming together and after several moments a gray energy was between Kain's hands. The pressure of it's existence would easily begin to shatter tombstone, crypts, and even their own location. He'd close his eyes, then absorb the energy into himself causing the dragon/demon-structured bones to rip from his back, feathers of gray taking the place of this flesh membranes. Another pair would then split from it while Kain seemed to revert to a more feral state; each tooth sharp and canines protruding with very long claws. Though, the rest of his demeanor was elegant. His eyes were inviting and full of both sorrow and pity, as if he was happy to see Annette but could feel the pain of her soul and it hurt him. His hair nearly hardened into spikes, though it didn't matter given he kept it in the ponytail. "That...was my greatest source of power. But we'll cover that in a moment; I need to make sure we're not disturbed." He'd smile and appear directly in front of Annette and lay his hand on her shoulder, then begin to transfer them into the distorted time. "When two individuals, especially masters of the blade or Rivals cross their blades, they often speak of a time when their blades stop...and amplified sense of time that only occurs when one forces themselves to their absolute limits. What one would think is that I was forcing use into that world where our five senses would be forced into that mode; if we were to look at someone while they were talking right now, it would look like they were talking in such a slow motion it'd take hours for them to say one word. I'm able to amplify that feeling and extend its length...beyond trillions of times. When I use this ability, one second becomes one thousand years. That's the Superhuman Extrasensory that sometimes allows humans to defy time for a split second...of course, as you've seen, I do it for more then a split second."
The world around them would instantly stop. Clouds wouldn't move and the crumbling stones would be suspended. "I've taken it a step further; Ultimate Extrasensory!" He'd begin to laugh and slowly fold his arms. "The only reason you can hear me; the only reason my words aren't going the same speed at the rest of the world is because I forced your armor into this state; I forced my armor to react for you. What makes this ability so different then normal Superhuman Extrasensory is that I don't need to reach my peak in order to activate it...I just need to reach -A- peak. It doesn't matter which one. While we were talking, I began to transform. When I transformed, I had reached THAT peak; the peak of my physical body at which point I used the energy you saw to do this. The trick: When I USE that energy...I no longer have a peak, thus I am not stuck in time. Unlike my Hyper Time Dilation, someone could never enter this time. We're not in a field, we're not in a dimension...we're on Earth, doing as we would anywhere else. With the obvious exception. Raziel, Spiral...hell, Father Time wouldn't be able to ******** with us! Splitting time, dimensions and space don't matter!" He'd begin to cackle.
He'd point to her and grin. "Your armor knows how to replicate this ability; reach your maximum as a human, enter the realm and allow your demon energy to take over. You wouln't be able to sustain the feeling for long, though. I'd say...about thirty seconds if you strain yourself; fifteen seconds would be safe. Your armor will allow you to slow things to one-hundredth of a second...whereas currently you and I are in one-trillionth of a second. I'm sure in a few centuries we'll see a cloud move slightly." He'd snicker a bit, then shake his head. "But, I said I'd show you my power source and I've just shown you a product of it. Well, actually you saw it...I just didn't explain a damn thing." He'd create the Light and Dark energies in his hands again and lower his head. "When negative and positive energy try to fuse, science dictates one of two outcomes: The more dominant will override the other, or there will be an explosion...you've seen these results from my past and my D-Angel techniques. But, science has only come so far..." He would again merge the two energies, though with a bit more ease this time given the release of his power. Now his right hand was enveloped in a gray energy. "Between Light and Dark is Neutrality, Order and Chaos. The energy produced by those that follow order has two names: Sacred and Celestial. I myself use a great deal of it...my most grand attack uses it. To use it, you must create an energy that can feed off of either Light or Dark energy. Chaotic energy is often made in the same way, though in order to turn it from orderly into chaotic, you must send the balance of the energy out of tune giving it random and infinite possibilities. Sacred and Celestial energy I've mastered...it's why I keep my arm bandaged." He'd then flex his right arm to show the white bandage hidden beneath the coat. "But what I function off of is Balance. Neutrality. The shades of gray between Good and Evil. It is an energy able to dominate both positive and negative energy and...well, here we are like this."
He'd take a look around for a moment, then look back to his sister. "You're hardly evil now are you? But by no means are you good. You'd kill and feed, but you judge the prey first. Nonetheless, you play judge, jury and executioner which is indeed wrong. But you heal others and provide aid, something that can only be defined as kind. Good." He'd snicker a bit and eventually cackle for a while before settling down. "I never dreamed we'd be so much alike! You stand between Light and Dark just as I do...so here's a gift." He'd appear behind her and slam the gray energy into her back and force it into her body, her armor already having "notes" of it. "You get a shortcut. I had to figure out how to make that s**t on my own, control it and use it. I just gave it to you. And now I'm betting you think there's a limit to how much you can use...and you'd be smart to wonder, but the answer is as plane as day: Can you control Darkness? Yes. Can you wield some Light? Yes. Do you stand between them as a rogue in life? Yes." He'd pridefully fold his arms and grin, each tooth shining. "Then you can use that energy all you want...I just saved you the time of figuring out how to control enough Light to mix with the Dark, and saved you the explosions you'd go through via trial and error. So...the Light that Zadkiel uses can be negated now! You may have issues matching Raziel's power, though...even I do. I suggest keeping clear of him. Now then...Questions? Comments?"

((Alright, tis 1 am and I've finally had time to finish reading and hopefully retain everything from that beast of a post. Apologies in advance of this next post pales in comparison xd ))
Annette would sit stone still for awhile, listening and noting everything that was said. She'd nod occasionally, signaling that she was still listening and understood. When the pendant was tossed at her, she reached to catch out of reflex, almost recoiling right away as she touched it. She didn't drop it, but she did find it somewhat...heavy in a way. Not so much in weight, but more in another way. "Your right, things do make a lot more sense when you change the gender of Satan. I can only think of a couple of times when I seen her depicted as female however." she felt compelled to respond to that for some reason.
She went back to listening as Kain continued to explain several more things, all of them important in some form or another. When he started speaking of angels something clicked in the back of her mind and she'd nod. "I think I remember something from a long time back about that. The deformed angels you mentioned. It's a very dusty memory, but it's there, a story I read or something about Nephilim. Giants of some sort is what they were, far from what Zadkiel takes the image of." she explained.
She go silent once more, listening as he explained about the time dilation and how he'd taken it a step or two further. She did as she was told and breathed, not that it was needed given her condition, or his for that matter. In teh end it wouldn't matter as she found herself focused more on what he was doing then on what she had no need to do at all. The pressure was something, and the pure raw form of energy that had been given off another. Next she knew he was in front of her, in a new form, and sure enough time seemed to be standing very still. "Once again you leave me very much impressed."
She felt it this time, as the armor copied the ability, and after he'd explained to her and showed her how it worked, and about the power in the gray area that so few people seemed to see now a days, she'd no why. He was behind her quicker then she had time to realize, so bracing herself was once again not an option. She slid forward a bit and turned to look at him as the somewhat numb, yet still throbbing sensation pulsed around the area where he'd slammed teh energy into her. "Your spoiling me." she said sarcastically, though it wasn't intended to sound that way. "I thank you for it, but your spoiling me." she amended. "I also thank you for not seeing me as some sort of hypocrite. I've met a few others who know what I am that thought a vampiric doctor was something of an oxymoron."

"Lucifer is as often a woman as God is a mere angel. Time distorts all truths...always bare that in mind." He'd smile and chuckle a bit after commenting back to her from what seemed so long ago...for them at least. He'd also heard her make mention of the true Nephilim. "The Nephelim were hybrids between our kind, our original kind and theirs. In the end was the result you speak of, the Nephilim. Behemoths with far too much power for their own good similar to the Titans of Greek mythos. Raziel's children were born large and hideous as it was, but when they merged they only grew larger, and with all the raw emotion Raziel had deprived them of, they went berserk. But, there is another form of Nephilim, one only idiots like Zadkiel could become...he brags about it enough." He'd shake his head thinking of all the stupid speeches he'd heard about Zadkiel being so great because he was an angel with emotion. Kain couldn't help but twirl a finger in the air sarcastically as he thought of those repetive words. "Whoop-a-dee-freakin'-doo; I'm a genetic hybrid like him and THEN some and I only brag about everything else!" He'd quickly point to Annette, his slit pupils set on her. "What you are, be it a doctor, a vampire or even both doesn't matter. What you DO does. This world's too caught up in labeling everything, and thus, the gray fades..."
He'd look at his hands and flex them a few times, always fascinated with the ridged blades that went along the tops of his claws. "I don't spoil you. If I wanted to spoil you, I'd more or less use that armor as a mainframe and myself as a data device and download all I know, am and can do into it and thus allow you to do as I do. I REWARD you for showing me, as my sister, that you're above ignorance." Between his speech, actions and other events, it'd been close to fifteen minutes, perhaps closer to twenty. "Your limit is measured in seconds, mine in minutes. If I keep us in this state much longer I'll strain myself and quite possibly die. So." He'd wave his hand through the air and return them to normal, the cemetery quickly crumbling around them while Kain would revert back to normal. "See? Isn't training with me fun?" Snicker snicker...by now, though, something odd should have been occuring inside of Annette. Something in her wouldn't like the new energy, something that she should be able to trace to Vincent's powers.
