His hand still throbbed, the burns fresh and potent, he had a slight hitch in his walk for the claws that had torn into his leg. He would not let that stop him from collecting the information that would be vital to disperse to his team though. They relied on him and he would in turn rely on them to carry out the duties requested. He planed as well to gather as many of them as he could for a team training session. Currently schedules were in some conflict but He'd resolve that soon enough... he would have the best team since Team Enterprise he was determined.
He had taken the streets this evening, His collar turned up and his hands in his pockets...he'd even gone so far as to pull the mask down as it was too suspicious on its own.
The goggles? Well... let them assume he was just another 'rave' goer on his way to some sordid sweaty party of bumping, smoke and glow sticks... it was almost a shame that it would be so hard to do something with the bodies in that kind of environment. Scheelite was so well suited to 'target' such spots.
He was following one of the more disreputable people of the city, they would NOT be missed, not even by their family. He was sure of that by the end of the second day he had followed the wretch. He ducked aside and watched as the man pressed a plastic bag into the palm of young woman who had a starved and haunted look, she in turn passed him crumbled and torn bills. This was the worst part of town he had ever trespassed in to be honest, it made him shudder...and people thought the Negaverse was bad, foolish senshi...they should be fighting more than just the 'war'. He should show this to Lyra before he cor....before he PURIFIED her.
His hand throbbed again and he gritted his teeth against the pain of it. He thought he might take out this wretch tonight and not even wait for his team.

Still blissfully unaware of the plans of 'purification' (if you asked her, she was still pure!) she was attempting for once NOT to find someone.... but to just do her duty as a guardian. Guardian of humans that is... making sure they dont fall prey to the negaverse... and whatever the heck they did with the starseeds they collected.
She was secretly still stewing about the damage done to Chloe still. Chloe was, very pissed off, but finally out of the vets and HATING the wrapping around her tail. She made a point to mention it felt like she was weight training her rump with her weighed down tail. She dragged it around sometimes just to be irritating and make a point about her hating vets. She hated the doctors herself.... but once you get enough punches and spiked wrist bands to the face, you learned to suck it up or invest in a top of the line first aid kit.
She was in one of the seedier parts of town.. a lot of back handed deals and dealing happened here. It... wasn't the most pleasant.. but it was a hot spot for Nega activity.
..."Awh hell i swear i can never avoid him." She sighed, rather loudly not caring if he heard. As she spotted a familiar blue haired captain.

Zink moved ahead and tapped the tattooed man on the shoulder and tried to look...well, seedy and interested before turning down an alley and glancing over his shoulder.
What a wonder...the man followed looking irritable and fishing in his jean jacket for what was probably a knife...though it could be a fire arm. He did hope it wasn't, he didn't want to try and explain a gunshot to anyone. "What chu Want Emo Kid..." The big man demanded clearly not impressed with his stature.
"Who's runner are you ..what the HELL you think you're doing on my turf."
"I'm no one's runner." Zinkenite replied and stepped forward with open hands to prove his was unarmed. The big man didn't exactly relax but he didn't pull out his arsenal either.
It took some effort to resist saying something horridly cheesy like "I'm death" But not a tremendous deal of it. Nothing would be more embarrassing than saying that and failing. So instead he just called his Yoma...he very seldom did, The beast rose up behind the man, standing on its rear legs it was tall as the drug dealer though its chin was not so square. It did however posses quite a number of sharp teeth and long claws. He took the man's star seed when he was ogling the yoma, it was just simpler that way.
"Trash" He told the Yoma and headed back towards the mouth of they alley and looked around... was that... it couldn't be. She did not make a habit of frequenting these areas...this was "Castor" territory.

She watched the scene.
...She had seen this man before. Dealing with the weak, killing who stood in his way. Dealing to people whom knew no better than to live between their next high...
She knew all too well what Zink was their to do. Lyra knew.. KNEW that Zink was going to take the scums starseed. Yet she chose to do nothing. She knew this world would be better without that one man... but she also knew if that man was killed, another would just fill his place. Would Zink be here to kill that one too?
What did that make her? Was she Judge...Jury... and he the executioner?
She stayed silent, well aware that not only Zink spotted her.... but his Youma as well. The whole time? She was sitting on the ledge of a low building. She wanted to break the silence. "Your youmas name is Trash?"

"...." He narrowed his eyes at her calculating and did not at first answer.
"No... I was telling it...to put 'it' in the trash...how long were you watching." He said tilting his head curious. "Did you...enjoy what you saw?" He asked and pulled out the crystal, mocking and cradled in a bandaged hand.
A hand that Chloe had burned...
"Did you want it? I bet you can still put it back... or I can just tell my Yoma to tear the body into a few very...MESSY pieces to foil you."
He tiled his head the other way and pulled his mask up taking a step further back into the alley. "Were you -looking- for my Lyra? Did you have something to ask? Or perhaps something to say..."

"Long enough." Was her reply to his 'how long were you watching?' question. Truthfully... she for once couldn't care less about this ones starseed. Hell just one LOOK at it and she could have sworn it was tarnished with nega energies... such a small, colorless glow.
"No.... for once i am unsure if even the Negaverse wants that starseed. Then again you DO have some pretty low standards..." She said with that all too familiar senshi pride flair. Her eyes flashed as a car drove past down the alley onto a larger road. She recalled when she HAD held a starseed... but that one was full of warmth....
She shook off that thought, ignoring the question entirely. "Why did you miss me?" She rolled her eyes at the mention of her searching for him today. "What makes you so certain that someone wont fill that mans place? Yes im not stupid i know who he was too. Why did you target him, whynot someone else?" It was HER turn to question... she wasn't sure what made her more sick. That she was asking why he chooses who he does... or that in general it was all killing in the end.

He almost looked like he might answer. He almost did... he even started to say something you could see it in his face.
And then he laughed, a quiet chuckle and he moved to walk right back out of the alley, dropping the star seed back into his pocket.
He was laughing, rather than answer. Oh no... she hadn't earned answers yet...
"Foolish questions, you should have studied me longer and then you wouldn't have wasted them. Finish answering the ones I posed you Lyra, then you can ask me questions and I'll CONSIDER answering if they will serve you at all."

"HEY!" She called after him, doing the foolish thing and leaping off the side of the building and following him around the corner. His youma was gone now... but he COULD always resummon it... Eh she followed anyways, more irritated at the laughing.
"Do you think this is a JOKE?" She growled, still following close behind with balled fists. "I answered your questions. No i was not looking for you, No i do not want it."
Happy? She growled. He kept pushing these buttons and he was going to get a heeled boot to the rear end.

"Not those questions... the ones that were for you to answer about yourself... Where do you want to stand in all this Lyra!" He said turning and waving his hands wide to the slum around them.
"Why...didn't you stop me...do you suddenly see WHY people are dying? Do you honestly think that anyone whom has been taken like this." He thrust out the starseed "Was free of guilt? The world is so much more complicated than you are ALLOWING yourself to see... It's not black and white and you don't even know your own shade of grey DO you...so why ask me questions when you can't even answer yourself?"
He tossed his head and turned away again whistling ... "Come with me...I'm sure we can find another..." he glanced over his shoulder "You can help again... if you wanted." His eyes glinted wicked at that particular button he was pushing.

There were just some buttons that just... need not be pushed. Which of course... Zink pressed lyras red 'no touch' button.
Green eyes narrowed... she attempted to make a swing at him with her clenched fist. "That was NOT my FAULT." She didnt help with it.. COULDNT have. No, she was FORCED to.
"I did not stop you because while you SEEM to think i am the white to your black, you could be less right. That man was just as bad if not worse than any negaverser i have met." She all but hissed out the next part. "I may be senshi, but i am not blind. Everyone has 'grey spots'."

"What makes you think you're white? Don't you see...that's the question that's being asked? I know where I stand...do you -seriously- assume that I paint you into some white corner of innocence where you have only one black spot on you like a Yin Yang? You...are not so fortunate. You have simply not fallen so far as to be a stain upon society... yet. But really, that's a poor reason not to stop me...wouldn't a good senshi say that even HE deserved a chance?"
He threw up a hand to defend himself and block her punch sweeping it to one side, unfortunately it was the burned one and he hissed through his teeth at the impact.

"If that is a good senshi then someone did a damn good job at pulling the wool over their eyes." She muttered to herself, attempting yet another swing at the Captain with her other fist. "And i want to know the persons number if so. Its easier thinking the world is black and white."
"I never claimed to be a PURE white senshi, did i not also say that there were grey spots? No thanks to yourself and your annoying little p***k of a partner."

He ducked the next swing his eyes narrowing. He hated tousling in the streets like this, too many people to call the cops, even here.
"Black to your White, and Vise Versa...the implications are CLEAR Lyra, you still struggle to cling to your illusions. WHAT side do you find more sympathy with...WHO do you think is right in this battle...CHOSE your side and stop trying to blame your 'grey' on others. You -always- have choices... "

"Yeah like your choice? Oh to kill or not to kill, that really IS the question isnt it?" Oh like her outfit wasn't enough to stick out to average people. They would know she was senshi anyways.
"Truth?" She stopped suddenly, looking the captain....even if he was a few inches taller, right in the face. "......Neither."

"IS that the question?" He replied... question met with question met with question. His eyes glittered. "How's this... next time we meet... NEXT time we meet...I'll ask you one last time... who you will side with, ME... or THEM." He said and waved his hands wide "Half the city went to sleep...and it wasn't us... people died... who's the villain Lyra...who's the hero. Choose...or someone will chose for you. Your too valuable to waste on naivety."
