Fragility of the Mind

Alevon shakes his head
"Tsinanae...I'd give you your blood back...despite that it, like the ring, has symbolic meaning important to me....however....I can't give it up knowing that it will put you in danger. Tsinanae, you are a beloved member of our 'family', there is no reason for you to give your life away with how many people care for you..."
He gently eases away from Maya

"I am not as admired as you are, Tsinanae. I know I'm not....this is not a complaint, but a logical deduction...I should keep the blood so they come after me. I am a fighter, and I will fight to the death protecting you all, and people as it is. If I fail and I die, it won't be as big of a deal, Tsinanae. I'm a murderer, the world knows it, and I am looked down upon for it. Tsinanae..."
Alevon takes a step forward, his eyes a brilliant blue

"I need you to understand this, I need you to accept it. I am keeping the blood. I know these people, they're ruthless and bloodthirsty...as am I...and if I am spited by my friends..."
Alevon motions to Ariel

"...and the world..."
He motions around himself

"Then I will fight them to the death, and in the case that I die, I will die knowing that it was me in place you, and will be at peace."
He holds Maya's hand tightly and says
"I'm sorry Maya, Tsinanae...this is how it will be"

((1, 2, 3, 4pgs. Dang, I should've stayed online a little longer last night. It got busy after I logged off. ^^))

The battle in front of Udo was as awe inspiring as frightening. Udo was well aware of the odd abilities many possessed around the world. He himself, was included in this lot, but in Europe, the degree of mutations were lessened. It was common to hear or read about such feats of power in the States, but never to witness them first hand. Udo asked himself, why he'd stepped forward instead of running. It would have been so easy. He continued to watch, listening to the odd conversation and looking for oppourtunity to turn the tides in his new ally's favor, but it was folly as Udo didn't possess such mastery, not yet.

Without warning or expectation, Udo was teleported along with the girl away from the street and into a place he didn't recognize. Udo shivered as he tried to shake the gut-wrenching feeling from her unique form of transportation. When she told him her name, Udo finally felt his guard coming down. At first he feared to tell her his name, but in the end he'd decided these people, who ever they were, would have little time or interest in international racing circuits. He'd be lucky, if his name even rang a bell.
"Udo, Udo Weber." He said through a shaken accent.
"Thank you. Given the option, I think I'll go where you take me. I know nothing about this nation other than what international news can tell." He added, gracious that she'd come to his aid. Udo wasn't sure if his miniscule ability would've eventually gained that man's attention, but he was surely willing to put his life on the line to try; and he would've paid with that life.

Still feeling displaced and alone, he simply stuck close to TK in silience. He said nothing, but all who asked his name were told with a polite nod. Given a moment to relax and let his adrenaline subside, the pain in his broken knee was beginning to pulsate again. He was still using geokinesis to mobilize his leg and was accually getting the hang of opperating it like a normal leg, but each step; each time he bent his knee; it was torture. His irrational impulse had essentially broke his leg in two pieces; above the knee, and below the knee. The knee cap must have been pulverized into little chips of bone by now. He tried to hide it, but he still wore the pain on his face as he silently observed the buisiness at hand around him.

(lol it gets that way, happens to Krisy and Ed a lot)

TK overheard the man, dropped her hand and smiled, nodding at him, "Alright Udo Weber, welcome to the club." She teleported closer to the man when she saw his pained face and eyed him, looking for whatever might have been causing his pain. "I am not sure if my mom would be able to help you or not, but whatever is wrong with you, I hope you'll be alright."

TK felt a little better knowing she had brought a new ally and he wasn't startled by her appearance. "I'm sorry about the timing, it seems you've came in during a bit of a quarrel" she smirked before she faced Alevon once more. "What say you, Alevon?"

Alevon shakes his head lightly
"My body contains too much of it now....to remove it would mean death....I didn't think you would want me to die...so I assumed....it was and is your blood, Tsinanae, but the cells have multiplied within me, and it and I am connected vitally now. If I gave you one of my other personalities to heal you, as you did me,I would not ask for them back, for I would not want to jeopordize your life by removing it. Whatever task needs to be done with it, I will do...but if you truly want to risk my life by removing a vital piece of my body....then I will consider it."
Alevon shakes his head and looks away

"...and I don't think you're weak Tsinanae, that's not it...it's that I feel that I have to do this. It's a personal calling, if you will..."
He continued before seeing Maya

He faces her and takes her hands in his, rubbing them gently
"Everything is going to be alright, Maya, don't you worry"
He smiles, eyes still the deep, brilliant blue

"Calm down."
Is all Alevon says, sternly.

"I'm willing to reason with everyone and anyone, but I need you to calm down first."

"I am willing to cooperate to the fullest extent, but we need to communicate to cooperate. Are you willing to cooperate?"
Alevon says, turning back to her

"Alright."
He says

"Though I still wish to keep it, try to understand. You were my first friend, Tsinanae...that means more than you can imagine. I feel whole with a part of you with me, understand? Regardless of whether it is removed or not, I'm still going to fight them head on, don't think removing the danger from me will remove me from the danger. I have a goal, and I'm seeing it through to the end."

He looks into Maya's eyes

...there's an odd feeling...what is it?

Alevon is a little surprised by this
"Mmmm? mmmmm..."

He looks down a little, looking at the broken ring in his hand...he closes his hand and his eyes after a moment

"...alright...."

He turns to TK, a very serious look on his face as he says nothing

Once Emir was outside, Nicole asked, "So....Where have you been all your life?"

"Don't know, a lot of killing, adultery and violence for a man to sustain." He said quietly. "Been doing a lot of shit that I regret but had no choice, ya know? Became a psychopathic perverted drunk out of loneliness and solitude.....just...A lot of shit happened that's all. I'm basically in a large hole."

"Emir, you've changed......so much..You were the innocent big brother that I loved....now I don't know what you are." Nicole said, kicking the ground.

"It's not my fuckin' fault! Alright?! I got brainwashed, I became a slave!" Emir shouted at her, turning from Nicole pulling his hair. "I had no damn choice, it's either that or die inside a cell!"

"I don't get it, why? Is it because of those government people taking you away?" Nicole asked, pulling his arm. "Answer me!"

"I..I can't.." He said, pulling away from Nicole. "It's..It's complicated."

Nicole became silent for a moment, and hugged Emir's chest.

"It's ok, Emir, it takes time to tell someone about your life...Like me waiting and waiting just to find you...Take your time, recollect your thoughts and talk to me when you're ready." She said, hugging him tighter.

Emir said nothing as he looking at the sky. Nicole sighed and stopped hugging him, beginning to walk back inside.

Nicole came back inside, putting her hair into a ponytail.

"So what's next?" She asked anyone in particular.

"Yes."
Alevon says to Udo

"...a long time ago, I was injured...and Tsinanae had blood that had some interesting healing properties...she gave me some, and I healed from it, and it seems that it took root within my body."
He says, his hand on his chest, eyes still the same brilliant blue

(Sorry for the flowery speech about 5 pages later. xD)

Gabrielle's eyes, moist with surprise, sadness and terror, darted constantly from person who spoke to person who acted to person who frowned. Atop her bunk, she leaned forward, registering everything without saying a word, her mouth hanging open like a loose hatch.

After a while she settled down, slid one arm down and sighed. She didn't feel like complaning, but she was feeling terribly homesick, confused and out-of place. She wanted to see Lance, talk to Ariel, cry to TK about how much she scared her--was Gabrielle the only person who was disturbed by the news?--see her uncle in France. Her uncle who, very similarly to the way Nicole showed up for Emir, was simply lost to her for years.

France... would be nice.

She pulled the cell phone away and clicked an unannounced text message. she shut it closed again and leaned closer to the edge of her bunk bed, looking at Udo like she was trying to glare a hole into his forehead.
