Word had gotten around, about the bracelets, about the punishment that was hanging in the air for those who sided with the already condemned. He hadn't though much of Nevada's bracelet, she told him not to worry she could still summon a weapon it was nothing.
That wasn't the word around the labs.
He had overheard about the betting pools, who of the hunters sporting the new toys would be loosing an arm first. Which pair would make the mistake that would make them Rin 2.0 and a few more wise cracks about Rep as he left the labs phone in hand.Carhopcavalier Text To LexTraining Field, 10 minutes - Ro.
He didn't want to see her hurt, he wouldn't let something like that happen to her like Rin.

Lex was feeling awful about the whole ordeal. He screwed up once - even once - and Nevada had burned tissue and blisters at the very least. He'd taken to his room, staring at the wall with a blank expression. Just as Roland had texted him, the Life trainee was about to get up to make himself do something - anything to make him not think.
Perfect timing, little man. He smiled as he typed a reply.And he was there in exactly five minutes, folding his coat up and setting it aside. No more blood on it, please.
"So...what seems to be the problem?"

Roland had been pacing, his jacket tossed aside, the phone barely noticed other then the fact Lex responded in confirmation that he would be there. Good to his word it was five minutes and the taller hunter was there, a very frustrated mist waiting for him when he arrived, pacing back and forth in the dirt.
"The problem? Lex, you're going to get Nevada killed! That's the problem!" He turned towards the other hunter shaking his head, "Do you have... any idea what you've gotten her into? I've already had one friend dead, another acquaintance had her arm chopped off. And now Nevada has a bracelet on her that could nuke her whole arm and the labs are taking bets on which of you guys will get their partners arm blasted off!"
"That man, those higher ups, they put Rep in a bracelet that took his weapon away, they sent him out on missions like it was nothing with no way to defend himself, the crazy one, Caelius? He should be dead we saw the Red thing rip him apart, he's insane, unstable. If you so much as blink wrong he could kill her just out of spite!"
Sylvia flashed into his hands a faint wail echoing from her as she appeared in the mists hands.
"Why the hell would you let her do this?!"

Lex, standing at his full height, was six feet and four inches, a whole foot taller than the Mist. Lex was also the type to keep his feelings in until they were prodded; and Roland was doing some serious prodding.
Keeping that in mind, Lex would easily be able to lift Roland by his collar and toss him a good ways away from him, and pound on him like he had to Dakota. However, he chose not to toss him.
He did pick the man up by the collar though, making sure that they were on eye level.
"You think I let her do this? You really think I would let her put herself at risk for me?" His voice was a cold fire, stinging and burning yet remaining calm and level. "You do realize how much I protested? Told her not to do this?" Regal was summoned at that point, the barrel of the gun pressed into Roland's stomach. "I'd rather die than have her take my place."

It's funny, Rep was no where near as tall as Lex yet the way he carried himself made the Sun hunter seem like he towered over Roland, when Lex actually stood in front of him, grabbing his collar like that it was a completely different kind of threat and feeling then anything before.
The barrel of the gun pressed against his gut, he'd never been shot this close before, Sylvia should be able to handle it, but the thought of it still caused him to frown a bit. Shifting his grip he grabbed Sylvia just under the head placing the blade between his throat and Lex's just as much a threat as the gun in his side.
"I think you didn't do enough to stop it." He hissed back, his voice was far less calm and level. After all the betting was for Nevada to be a first considering Lex's recent awakening.
"If you would have rather died then why are you here and why is she at risk still then?"

Clenching his jaw as the scythe was brought up, Lex let a predatory growl rumble in his throat before he spoke. "I didn't try hard enough? I offered myself for everyone." He kept staring into Roland's eyes, never breaking contact. His point would be made. "What more would you have me do? Throw myself onto Caelius' scythe?"
A pause, let him stew on that.
"I'm fully aware of the betting pools, and I'm very well aware that everyone is bidding on me to screw up. I'm feeling like Atlas at this moment, so don't talk to me like I'm uninformed."

Somehow, the growl didn't strike as much fear as it might have in the past. A small primal part of him, maybe the part Sylvia was curled up against whispered this wasn't the same, it wasn't Rep, he stood a chance. "And you know damn well he wouldn't take one over everyone all that man cares about is examples, he would have killed everyone and then you just to make a point!"
He almost said yes to the last part.
"And what are you going to do? How are you going to protect her and keep this all from going to hell?"

He was fuming now, voice barely a calm whisper. "I'll protect her by playing his game and following the rules to a T. I will not falter, and I will not step out of line." He lifted Rolan up a little higher, putting the Mist's scythe dangerously close to his own throat.
<< Show him, Whelp. >>
< Gryphon culture? >
<< Gryphon culture. >>
Without another word, Lex pulled the trigger and shot a bullet into the young man's stomach, before throwing him a away.
"I like you, Roland. Don't make me your enemy."

His eyes narrowed a bit more, what he said was what he wanted, but it didn't matter, it wasn't ensured, everyone screwed up. This island was a terrible place. That night, the morning after, all a fleeting moment before it was back to the grind of work, of knowing people had died, could die, would die.
He tilted Sylvia letting the edge of her honed blade rise towards Lex's throat before it felt like something punched him in the gut. The sound of the gun triggering a primal memory, of the first time he had truly 'died'.
Without thinking he lunged forward as his feet found the ground, Syliva lashed out wide and low hooking at Lex's legs to drop the hunter on his back. Advantage, keep him on the ground, the ones with the guns where most dangerous. Keep them close and still.
He leveled his weapon again, the pointed tip hanging in the air ready to smash down against Lex's chest and see just how strong his shield was. "You didn't tell me, Nevada lied about it and you didn't even have the guts to tell me what happened. Enemy or not I'm kicking your a** for this one."

Shocked as he was knocked to the ground, Lex gave a slight cough of surprise. Damn, the kid was quick to fight. Maybe he'd been sparring more than the Life trainee.
Half snarling, Lex aimed a shot right for the young man's shoulder, hitting the mark and rolling away and onto his feet. Regal was thrumming in his mind, plumage already out and ruffling. His voice was booming in Lex's head as he prepared for his solo.
"You think I had time to tell you about it? I was beating myself up all night, and then I ended up being dragged off to an island of hallucinogenics!" He quipped, trying to keep his voice level. He was angry, but he didn't want to yell. If he yelled, he'd just reveal more embarrassing things.
Like the fact that he'd also openly wept into a pillow because of a nightmare that involved Nevada's funeral and how it was all his fault.

The shot smashed against him stuttering him slightly as it ate at his shield, still it was nothing compared to the beam of fear which had last hit him there.
"You have a phone. You seem to know how to use it." He didn't want to think about the images that crossed his mind when he learned the truth, he would have preferred it had just been a tracking bracelet like he was told. That all it meant was a few creepy Life Lab goons ease dropping on them. Not a death sentence.
He wasted no time moving forward Sylvia lashing out left and right practically floating around the mist as he spun the weapon from hand to hand like a bo-staff... with a very sharp blade slapped on the end. Driving Lex back with each swing.

Gritting his teeth as he continued to backpedal away from the scythe, his shield getting bit into every once in a while, Lex could only turn and run for cover.
Rule number one: Don't use your gun in a close range fight. How had he forgotten that? Well, anger and self pity were highly contributing factors.
"Well, I'm sorry for not letting you know, okay?" He quipped, still not at all happy with the whole arrangement. "I didn't know you were that concerned about us."

Roland wasn't a slouch at fighting, Ceres had taught him the basics. Missions had forced him to learn. And Rep had sealed the deal with a scar that cut through his very being to this day as a reminder of what happened when you didn't fight seriously, and what happened when you took it too far as well.
The scythe spun above his head in one hand twisting around before he grabbed it in both hands in a diagonal slash across the chest. "A little late Lex." He added with a scowl, before pausing for a moment, "I always cared..." He mumbled as he brought Sylvia back to try and deflect the next shots.

Lex hissed as the scythe cut into his shield, silently offering a prayer of thanks for the shields. He managed to clip off a quick shot to the arm before he barrel rolled around the other man, slowly backing away as he gripped the pistol with both hands. Regal was nearly screeching, begging to sing.
It would happen soon.
"Well, glad to know you care Roland. I'll keep that in mind."

<< Too late, we get the first solo in this show >>
< Got it. >
Spinning Sylvia above his head once more he swept her wide, not hitting the other hunter, but instead a burst of noise, a long wailing song of angst and rage filled the air, the noise pushing at Lex like a physical wind made of sound before suddenly seeming to cut off as Roland stood, eyes narrowed waiting for his response.
<< You best be ready... you know what happened last time >>
He didn't want to think about that.
