The moon was high in the nights sky and the stars would have been brilliant had they not been blotted out by the city lights. A cool breeze gracefully moved about the city rooftops, chilling all that it touched but a particular individual didn't seem to mind at all. It had been approximately two weeks since that night that Eve narrowly escaped her fathers cruelty. She could remember that night as if it had happened just yesterday. She could go into vivid detail of all that had happened even the events that took place after she escaped his lab and ran into the city. She could recall the vendors she stole from for food, the store she broke into for clothes as hers had practically been destroyed and which subway stop bathroom she used to bathe and from which sink. Her adrenaline was pumping so much so that night and it was a wonder that she hadn't passed out once the shock had subsided.
That night was the worse night of her life but it was now time to push her thoughts of it aside for that night was gone. Now was her time to enjoy one of her new hobbies. From the roof tops of a building she claimed to use as a resting spot, she watched the city life bustle below and enjoyed the soft cool caresses of the breeze against her face. A satisfied sigh left her lips as she closed her eyes for that moment. She opened them slowly again when her back started to ache. She still seemed to have some evolving to do....if only she knew when her wings would form.

After finding the file which contained useful information he would need to create his clan, Thailog began to search for this Eve character in hopes in bringing back his clan to convince them to join him once more. After to long weeks Thailog had no luck in finding the girl. She was more likely hiding from Sevarius who was also on the search. Though he was assured that he would have better luck finding the girl than Sevarius. Thaliog glided over the city looking down at the roof tops. If only he could find her. His clan was moved to his house which he bought with the stolen money from Xanatos. There the other clones stayed in a stone sleep on the roof top.

A sigh left her lips once again as she pulled herself from her time of contemplation. Now was time to go and gather herself from food all the while look for a new spot to sleep. She'd stay in one spot for too long which was unlike her. Carefully she climbed onto the ledge of the building and scanned the streets down below. From what she could tell, things were about to get a lot busier than usual. One of the local gangs was making their way towards a street vendor more than likely with the intent of robbing him.
Her nose wrinkled in disapproval. While she did not condone their actions, it would provide the cover she needed to obtain food for herself. Just as she was about to leap down onto the fire escape something told her to look up. When she did she noted that something flew pass right above her. Her muscles grew stiff. Her instincts told her to flee but for some odd reason she couldn't move. Perhaps it was curiosity or maybe it was fear.

Even for being in the city the night sky was clear. The moonlight gave the city a much more brighter look. Nights like these made it convenient to look for that girl. As he was taking close look at the building he glided to one that had a girl standing on it. A tiny grin came to his face, could it be the girl he was searching for? He glided down to the roof top about a couple of feet away from her, hoping he wouldn't scare he off. Upon landing, his wings folded close to his body, almost looking like he was wearing a cap.
When gazing at the girl, he knew it was her, her description matched the one in the file. Now, all he had to do know was to gain her trust. She would come in very good use."Hello, there I am Thailog, you might night remember me, but you saved me from my stone prison."

The moment he landed, she found herself getting lower in stance until she was crouching. Her stance would serve her well in two aspect. One it would give her enough thrust if she so chose to attack him and two it would give her just enough thrust if she decided to leap for the fire escape and make her decent. Then a growl escaped her lips, one that could rival the growl of a gargoyles. She was on edge which was understandable but she silently studied his face. Her head tilted to the left for a moment or two before memory came to her. He indeed did have the face of the statue she'd fallen against during her escape.
Then she remembered his name and she slowly started to back away. She remembered hearing Dr. Sevarious talk about him all the time, his voice filled with scorn and how someday he'd make him pay for all that he'd done to him. She came to learn over time that Thailog was bad news.
"I doubt you sought me out to show your gratitude. Things are never clear cut with you and there is always a hidden motive...this much I have come to learn. What do you want?"

It didn't surprise him that the good old doctor didn't warn her about him. Dr. Sevarious did have his share in deceiving others however he did have a slight heart for a few of his creations. Now the matter stood, tricking the girl wasn't going to work, she was very cleaver, no doubt the way Dr. Sevarious made her to be. Yet it seemed to be his downfall to make things out of his control.
"Well, aren't you clever, you're right, I didn't come here to show my appreciation. It's many of the things I'm not good at. However I was hoping you would willing help my fallen comrades. You see, they suffered the same fate I did. However your blood can release them. That's all I ask."

She wanted to outright refuse him. She wanted to be an all out brat and ask why should she care but she was unable to bring herself to do such a thing. They were, even if she didn't know them, her kin and clan. They held a connection and that connection was Dr. Sevarious. Sure he didn't out right create them...Thailog did but Thailog was created by Sevarious thus Thailogs creations were tied to her. Even still she couldn't simply agree. Her blood was on the line and she knew not just how much blood Thailog wished her to spill.
"Even if I were to agree to help you...think of this. Is there truly a point in bringing your comrades back? They gave their alliance to your enemy when you vanished the first time around. What makes you think they will stand by your side once again?"
She flinched and out of instinct, her arms wrapped themselves around her form. Once again a jolt of pain took hold of her back as bones shifted. Being in such a state caused her to feel vulnerable and she most certaintly didn't like that.
"F...Further more, why should I trust you? You could very well mean to end my life like that b*****d Sevarious!"

Thailog let out a chuckle. "You really think I would kill you?, your blood is unique. It's not something that should go to waste. Beside if I were to kill you and to end up turning into a full stoned state again, than I would be like that forever. Unless the good old doctor creates another like you." Thailog keeping his distance walked toward the edge, with a couple of feet between them. When she mentioned his comrades might reject him, he did that in as a factor.
"I'm well aware they might not accept me, however their is a slight chance they'll take me back, If I'm able to revive them that is." The girl was indeed clever, however he had no reason to harm the girl for now she was someone he needed help from. Though he wasn't overly willing to accept this, but there was no other way. Upon watching her carefully, he noticed she seemed to be in slight pain. He was curious if Dr. Sevarious had found her thus attacking her, or attacked by someone else. He wasn't someone to ask if they were alright, so he let it slide for now.

The bridge of her nose wrinkled and the left corner of her mouth curled into a sneer. It annoyed her how smooth and suave he was trying to be around her. The fact that he went so far as to chuckle as if nothing she said concerned him. The fact that my blood is unique means nothing. The fact that you know who I am and what my blood can do means you retrieved such information from his files. I'm pretty sure you've more than likely found a way to duplicate my DNA..." Her lips now curled into a smirk having a hunch that she figured out his motive. "...however, having been encased in stone years ago would mean that it would have been easier for the authorities to freeze any if not all funds you have to do just that. You lack the resources you need and so despite how much pride you have to keep from admitting it your coming to me for assistance."
She was sure that she had more than likely struck a nerve with him which was in no way a good idea if someone valued their life, but his hands were tied so to speak. If he truly wanted her assistance, he would simply have let the sharp words of the little spit fire slide. As he moved over toward the edge, her eyes watched every movement all the while she weighed her options. She knew full well that Thailog was in no way, shape or form, wise to be around. He was vicious and two faced...but the gargoyle in her needed the companionship of another being...of a clan and there was chance that he could give that to her. So she would simply have to put her faith in him but at the same time keep her guard up.
"I will assist you with bringing life to your clan mates...but on one condition. You must create your clan from scratch. My blood will be laced within their DNA to eliminate the possibility of a permanent stone sleep. The reason I would rather you create your clan from scratch is for the simple reason that the clones will not take you back.
She was sure that he would be enraged by her saying that but she knew he would come to understand her side of things once she further explained.
"When you were presumed dead after your encounter with Demona, the clones went into the care of your enemy Goliath as well as the mutants. There, they were allowed free will and no one made them follow orders unless absolutely necessary. No one would be willing to give that up even if brought back from their stone prison. It would be a waste of effort to do so. I will assist you in collecting the resources you need....all I ask....all I ask is to be allowed into the clan. I may appear human, but I am far from it."

"It is true I obtained the information from your files, as well as stealing them from the good old doctor. The fact is, as you said my funds have been put on hold that enables me to get the supplies I need." Thailog glared at her. Her attitude was not pleasing to be around, however he couldn't do much about it. He needed her help for the time being. Her eyes never once left his. She was keeping a well eye on him, as she should. For now he let her remarks slide, his goal for now was to create his clan as well as gaining the funds to continue what he was doing before he had been put into his stoned state. He listened intently. It would be easier to bring the clones back, however if they didn't agree to do what he wanted they would just become another threat against him. He bared his teeth and made a slight growl, he knew what she said was true. It meant he would have to start all over from the beginning, it was troublesome.
"If I am to accept your offer you must agree to do what I tell you to, as well as helping to obtain the funds to create a new clan. It would take a little time to get what we need, as well as getting a laboratory to create the clan." He looked over her again. As she said she looked mostly human however her scent carried that of a gargoyle. "You'll be in the clan, there's no doubt about that. I'll hold you to your word that you'll help me, for that I'll make you 2nd in command."

While her attitude was not pleasing in his eyes she could care less. Her attitude is what kept her alive and on her toes. She listened to him attentively all the wall keeping an eye on any twitch of his muscle that would indicate a possible attack coming from his end. That twitch happened but it was because he bore his teeth and released a growl of frustration which was understandable. No one would want to start over after creating so much but that was the way things went. Sometimes you just had to do what you didn't want to do in order to reach your goal.
"I will follow your orders so long as they are in the best interests of creating this clan and not putting my own life at risk without just cause. I give you my word and my word is something that can be trusted. Sevarious may have created me but he did not instill his cowardice or two faced nature."
She fell silent again, when a memory crossed her mind. Acquiring a lab wouldn't be necessary as she already knew of one she could use. It was one of Sevarious old labs. One that he had returned to since the night Thailog and his clan turned to stone. He had stated that to go back would be idiotic and no good could come of it. It was perfect as it was attached to one of his many homes.
"Actually it will take no time at all to get the lab we need. I know of one, a place of which Sevarious refuses to return to. Possibly because of some deep rooted superstition brought on by his failures there. So we can focus our efforts on getting the funds we need. You know the location of this place for it is where you were rendered into a stone state."
She paused momentarily, a bit shocked with the position of power she'd been given so quickly. While he clearly did need her support just as much as she needed his she was not expecting such a promotion so quickly. She could only nod thanks to him for putting so much faith in her.
"For now it would be best to lay low. I do not doubt that Sevarious has run to Xanatos and told him of your return in hopes to gain assistance in your termination. If this has happened, then goliath has undoubtedly already told Goliath and his clan."

He knew that if this was going to work he had to at least not risk her life, well purposely. They would be times where there would be some tasks that may put both their lives on the line. There was not much that he would be able to do about that, he did have a fair amount of enemies after all. It did please him she gave him his word, at the very least things would go smoothly for a while. It was a good thing that Sevarious didn’t program her like him, or else the two wouldn’t work together at all.
“I will do my best to make sure no harm comes to you. However there will be times where something will risk both of our lives. I may not do it purposely, you might already know, I’m not the most liked gargoyle around. Though for the clan I will make sure everything goes as planned to create a strong clan. It would make Sevarious rethink about tracking you down.”
When she had mentioned that there was a lab they could easily acquire it pleased him. That would be something that would be checked off the list. Now he could focus on getting the funs. However some addition would need to be put into the lab. He had to make sure it would be secure in case Goliath sought him out. Sevarious might have deep superstition but Goliaths clan, as well as Xanatos did not.
“Very good, we have something to work with now, though we will need to improve the defences on the building. Goliath and his clan would most likely try to seek it out, if that does happen it is better to be prepared.”
Thailog knew the location very well, how could he ever forget the place where he turned into his stone state. It haunted him, not being able to move for years. It was indeed a prison that he wanted to avoid happening again. Even though he hated hiding in the shadow he knew she was right. They had to lay low until they were able to get up on their feet.
“No doubt he has already went running to Xanatos, the coward has no means of any real protection when it comes to fighting against me. Goliath I could take on alone, however he travels in groups which makes it difficult. Once we get the clan up together we’d be evenly matched.”

"Then it is settled. I will meet you there in three days. I am going to hang around the city for a while longer to do some research on where your funds are being kept. I wouldn't be surprised if Demona has managed to sink her claws back into them. If that's the case I'll need to do a bit of hacking and create a secure account to transfer the funds to. I also want to do a bit of snooping, I may be able to find some of the materials we need and get my hands on them."
There was one other reason why she wanted to stay behind that she hadn't told him. That reason was the lack of trust. Sure they had formed an alliance but that didn't mean anything. She could trust Thailog about as much as she could lift him and that wasn't much. Plus she could feel that her body was still exhibiting some changes and she didn't want to allow Thailog an opportunity to capitalize on her moment of weakness.

Thailog knew well she wasn’t going to trust him in the very beginning. He gave her no reason to trust her at the very least it was wise. However she was someone who he would be able to rely on. He had only read up on her abilities, they were impressive. She knew what she was going. He had hoped for her sake she wouldn’t get caught, or both of them would be in trouble.
“Three days is a little much, however for your sake I’ll make an exception. I’ll do some research of my own. There is more than one way to get around in this city. Just be sure not to get captured by Sevarious. It’d be bothersome to break you free.”
Thailog grinned. He might off been someone who is better to be feared, but he always knew how to play around. A few smart remarks every now and than always lifted the mood, even thought others might not have thought so. It was something he enjoyed doing for the fun of it.
