After her little talk with Ever it had at least reminded Sabine that she DID need to talk to Zac... if she would bring up what was previously discussed or not would be another matter. She had something she needed to ask him, and get his opinion on as well. He was her general as well after all... so she eneded to do this.
Even so, she still found herself hesitating. She stared at the pay phone, walking around it... pretending to not linger, for a good twenty minutes before she got her courage up. Some ringing later... she spoke into the reciever when he picked up.
"Uuhm... Zac, its Sabine hi!...Uhm...Yes do you have time? Could i pop over?"

"Ah... sure let me just meet you out front, is that alright? Or... did you mean 'pop over'?" he said carefully, his words were guarded and cautious like he expected to be the one in trouble, then again he sounded like that a lot unless he was the one who made the phone call... perhaps it was just a trend.
"Is everything okay?" he added with a sudden hint of anxiety. What if she hated the school...what if someone recognized her...what if. He clamped down as best he could on the thoughts that threatened to over run him and waited patiently as he could for her answer.

"Oh there is no hurry! Nothing urgent." She said with a nervous laugh, god she hated telephones.
"Just... whenever you can? Im using a pay phone right outside the apartment, so whenever its convenient? I'de rather you be here and not discuss it on the phone."
That alone should have been a hint that it was something she did not want others over hearing.

"... I'll be right there." He said and hung up the phone without waiting for her to answer again, moments later there was a rush of air and a wave of comforting dark energy that blinked out not a moment later as Civilian Zac moved hastily into view.
"Who did what..." were the first words out of his mouth with a sort of warning bristle that said that whomever did 'whatever' was likely not long for this world if he had any say in the matter.

Uh oh.
She had not even had a chance to hang the phone up on the receiver before she heard a familiar voice behind her, which...made the female jump. Setting the phone back down she exited the phone booth and looked at Zac, now bristling a little from her words. Apparently she set the general off, and that was not something you did and lived.
"No no, Zac calm down... Im ok..everyones ok." At least she thought so. "No one did anything i just had a question or two... walk with me?" She indicated towards the pavement, and wondered if he would go or demand answers now.

A flicker of emotions ran a gambit over his face before it went on 'lockdown'...never a good expression for him to have because it meant the 'jury' was out on reactions. Still, one had to work with what one had...
"...alright..." He said carefully. "Do I need a run down for scenarios?" He asked carefully. He -seemed- calmer again, though he was rather good at that, seeming calm when he wasn't always.

"Not.... that i know of?" Biting her lip she looked away and started to walk down the roads, passing by the little restaurant near the apartment... and continuing down the road. She kept silent for a little while, before sighing.
"...Zac, do the names Ares, Mu Cephei, or Castor ring any bells?" The three senshi she had met whom remembered who she was.

Zac -froze-... turning to give her a very hard look. "Castor rather tops that list..." he said very carefully. "Ares a close second... the third I have had personal and unfavorable encounters with but not perhaps the most dangerous of them... why?" His words were measured to a dangerous degree as though she had just asked if 'that package just left in the corner was SUPPOSED to be ticking and look at all the pretty red and black wires it sported.

She nearly bumped into him when he froze, barely stopping before she did. As she looked up to meet his gaze, she felt herself mentally shrinking away. Did she make the right decision to talk to him after all about it? Ever seemed to think she should.. but his expression right now clearly meant she hit some sort of nerve, something that should have been left un touched.
Taking a step back, she soon felt as if that gaze made the warm summer day much, much colder.
"I..uhm...well. Kind of...met... them?" A round about way but....

He didn't say anything for what seemed an eternity, his face was almost ashen for a moment before he continued.
"Castor... is the one who stole Lina from us... He is -the- biggest target that the Negaverse has, at least in my opinion, though it is shared by many. He is -too- active and far too many people follow him, he MUST be torn down lest he corrupt any more of us..."
He took a breath before continuing. "Ares... you used to report to... it was under her command that you... did many -terrible- things as Sailor Lyra...before we offered you... salvation, sanctuary. She tortured... killed many of us... given time I hope to turn her over to a similar fate so that she can truly appreciate the kind of handiwork she has inspired in the world... if you can, you should kill her. But if you CAN I want you to have back up." He said almost bristling at the idea of Ares and Lyra fighting...not HIS sister, not his innocent Beth...no...Sabine.
"MuCephei is... almost inactive at this point, there were very early bits of gossip that one of our cats had a fancy for her, and might have been fancied in return but she has done VERY little of late. I would still recommend killing her if you have the chance...being the senshi of BLOOD doesn't bode well on any front should she survive to see 'Eternal'."

She listened intently, not speaking up in between his explainations until he seemed to be finished. So... his answers had really only brought up more questions, more wanting to know what happened in her past. What had Lyra done that had caused the world so much..pain. She hoped she had not tortured.... because that would mean she might have hurt people.... hurt Wolfram.
"Me cephei seemed to recognize me when i leaped in to help Ever... Ares... Ares i can believe everything you just said." She had, afterall, tried to kill Lyra not even two days ago. "Castor... Castor was strong. His Aura was around the same power levels as ours." She waved a hand in the air. He also, had just given her cookies.
".....Zac, Who is Lina? I have heard you mention her a few times but... who is she?"

He tensed... pausing and shaking his head. His expression somewhere between sad and distant. "...She was my... mentor, my Captain and my General, She was amazing, she was... proof in my eyes that you didn't have to be 'good at killing' to be valuable in the Negaverse... yes, it's a war and most senshi won't listen to reason, can't be saved... not like you... but there are more ways to serve... there should always have been, but..."
He stopped, he dare not speak insubordination, he dare not have such treacherous thoughts. He did have them though, dark thoughts that were for the 'Queen' that would have killed her, that helped DRIVE her into the very arms of their Enemy...did she even know what she had lost?
"...She was a brilliant woman... IS a brilliant woman... just... well"

"It sounds like you miss her a lot." It was not a question, more of a statement. An observation made from the love and resentment in his voice, something she was picking up on. He was not exactly trying to hide it.
"I'm sorry she is gone." She murmured, head turning up slightly to look into Zacs eyes. "I brought up a sore subject i can tell." She paused and bit her lip. "I met him a few weeks ago while i was looking around... he uhm. Gave me cookies."

"..." He -stared- at her wide eyed, his lips a thin line and then his eyes narrowed into slits. He made a small growling sound that wasn't common for him in the least. Rage like this was something to be snuffed out or turned into something productive rather than something that would haunt his dreams and fill him with further doubts.
"I see..." He said, though his tone said very much that while he 'saw' he did not approve at all. "... if he... makes a single HINT...at 'saving' you... taking you the way he took Lina..." He said his voice Dark.

She couldn't help it. Even though he was her brother... her 'savior' whom had her see the true side, she felt a twinge of fear at that moment. He looked as if he wanted blood, and wanted it now. Nervously, she waited until he was finished again before managing to speak up. "... Trust me when i say that wont be happening. He called me 'tainted'." Something she did not like, something that had her balling her own fists... a fresh wave of anger brushing over her skin like a fiery sheet. Looking up at Zac, she suddenly was very serious. Something within her showing itself for a moment, eyes raging.
"He wont get me too." She would die trying before that ever happened. If there was another thing Lyra learned from the fight with Ares, it was to protect those she loved or die trying.
