Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kage slowly began to stir, his eyes partially opening. He felt the hand entwined in his and without realizing where he was or what was going on. He gave a slight squeeze before he spoke to her, "Good morning beautiful." He was clearly confused as he wasn't with Andy, but her sister Blaise. Kage didn't seem to notice in time that or he didn't care as he rolled over and kissed her lips. He didn't notice anything about the woman beneath him with his eyes mostly closed and the fact that they had been blessed similarly despite their massive difference in height. He moved to kiss her again, this time deeper as he opened his eyes fully. Surprise set in and he froze just beyond Blaises' lips. The woman before him wasn't his beautiful brunette, but her sister the crimson temptress who lay beneath him.

"You're not Andy." He exclaimed the obvious rolling off of her as he suddenly remembered what had happened. Right he had gotta a child killed and they had been fleeing the SIU. He looked her over judging the situation before standing, "Uhh, sorry about that I was confused." He reached out an arm and offered to pull her up, "Can you walk or do I need to carry you?"

Kage was dragged back down, her kiss pulling him in deeper. His mind screamed at him to stop, but he returned her passion. He knew it was wrong, but it felt so good. Pulling away he spoke, "We can't. I love your sister." He tried to fight it, but it felt so good. Their lips touched once more as he sought an escape from the pain he felt in his heart. Blaise was here, accepting him even knowing what he had done. He shouted at himself in his head as he took it farther, going as far as Blaise would allow. There would be time for regret later. At the moment all that mattered was a distraction from the pain in his heart. Andy would likely never forgive him for this, but then again she wouldn't forgive him for getting the child killed either.

Kage just sat there, the regret hitting him after the fact. Slowly, very slowly he reached out and took Blaise by the hand as he spoke, "That was a mistake. If Andy ever finds out... It was a mistake." He rambled on, but suddenly his voice became clear a wave of energy following it as he was helped up, "You need to forget, that never happened. Forget everything that we just did, I alone will live with that shame." His power reached out erasing what had just happened from her memory before he released her hand. After a few moments he spoke up breaking the silence, "So, where are we going?" He tried to remain calm acting like nothing had happened as he questioned her on their destination. There was always the chance that Andy could forgive him for the child, but if she ever found out about him with her sister there would be no going back.

Kage reached out taking her hand. He allowed her to lead on as he remained silenmt. Self loathing and disgust nagging at him repeatedly. He hadn't intended any of this to happen and had even erased Blaise so casually, it seemed his pressance around Mara had turned him into a bit of an a*****e. He hoped that's all it was and not that this was his true colors finally coming to light. God he hoped it was only because of her influence the last month. He kept pace just behind Blaise keeping an eye on her. He seemed more aware of her physically after their experience, but did his best to hide it as he appreciated her assets while still wallowing in regret.

Kage entered the room behind Blaise, her entrance drawing a bit more attention than he would have liked given he had been fighting against them only days ago. He looked nervously around the room, but somehow a face was familiar in the crowd. "Michael?" He called out before anyone even said the Metas name, but it seemed to be missed in all of the confusion of Blaise and her entry. It seemed her relationship with Andy wasn't on the best terms either and not many knew of their relation before now. Kage slid back behind Blaise moving over to Andy once she was spotted, he didn't want to make waves. If not for the worried look on Andys face, he might not have said anything else while he tried to figure out how he knew Michael, small flashes filling his head. The worry on her face was enough to cause him to speak though as he answered Zaku for her. "She doesn't remember anything about any of you, I made sure of that."

Zaku... Wasn't that the name of the man who had loved her before? Yeah, it was the name that Blaise had told him. He looked to Andy and then to Zaku, he wanted to do something to assert himself, but in the end decided against it for Andy's sake. Michael suggested he take Andy and leave, Zaku suggested he leave and Andy didn't actually want to hurt anyone anymore. Being here wasn't a good idea and so being the bigger man he finally nodded, "I think you're right. We should leave. Come on Andy, you don't want to fight anymore do you? We're free of SIU now, we can find some place quiet and settle down." He held his hand out towards her as he looked towards the door Blaise had destroyed on their way in. It was so close, release from the conflict. Who cared who he had been as long as he could simply be with Andy.

Kage glared at Zaku, his piercing red eyes focused on the other Meta. "I am tired of people like you and Mara thinking you know best. Andy is a grown woman, if she doesn't want to go with me then that is her choice. I will tell you one thing though, I am willing to protect the woman I love with my life, are you?" His eyes remained on Zaku not backing down as Blaise vouched for him. Murder Squad, the idea would have been funny had a child not just died because he wanted to use them as a shield for Andy. There it was again, that name and those actions, Michael. More flashes filled his head as he thought of the oddly dressed man who greeted them when they had entered the hideout.

Zaku finally asked Andy what she wanted instead of imposing his will upon others. Kage stopped glaring, the choice now belonging to Andy and not this pink haired Meta, the leader of the renegade and Andys' old boyfriend. He shook his head at her question, "You know you were my test. They didn't tell me anything before that. The only things I knew about SIU were that they fought the terrorists." He pointed at Zaku as he continued. "That they infiltrated the school nicknamed Sanctuary and that they would help me find a woman named Kate Masamune." He had debated leaving that last part out, but decided against it in case they knew more than they let on, especially since he was about to call out Zaku on something he was trying to hide from them. He stared at Zaku as he asked bluntly, "That girl was your what? No secrets now, we wouldn't want to lie to Andy."
