{SOL} Rio meets Dylan coming home

Rio Atanacio   February 28  *Feeling a quickening in his blood bond He knows his mate is in some kind of danger. Pulling out his phone he speed dials her number and almost crushes the phone when the call rolls over to voice mail. Looking at his watch he growls in frustration when he sees it is still several hours before sunset . Grabbing his jacket he rushes towards Lucan's office to let him know Dylan is in some kind of danger. As he reaches for the door knob he has a sudden rush of peace, Dylan is no longer afraid he can feel her getting closer. Turning on his heels he makes his way toward the garage. Growling! His mate has some explaining to do* — with Dylan Alexander.

Dylan Alexander After Tavia parked the car, they got out heading for the elevator when the doors opened. Rio stepped out and the look on his face wasn't a happy one. Nodding at Tavia as she said she'd go on to Gideon. Watching her disappear as Rio and I met up. Knowing he must have felt the rush when we had to book it to the car. "Hey sexy, what's up?" Trying to keep it light. They were safe and home, but I knew by the look in his eyes I wasn't getting off that easily.

Rio Atanacio *Growling out a greeting to Tavia he waited for the elevator door to close. Turning towards his mate he skimmed his hands lightly over her until he was satisfied that there were no injuries. Glaring down at her he tosses her over his shoulders and smacks her ass as he carries her to their quarters* Christo, Dylan you have no idea what you put me through. *Tossing her on the bed he runs his fingers through his long locks.* You stay put! We'll talk when I get back. But first I need to talk to Sterling . *Slams the door and crushes the lock making it unusable.*

Dylan Alexander Sits on the bed as he leaves and hears him do something at the door. Frowns and takes a deep breath. Pulling a pillow up to hug, he's never been this angry before. Waits not looking forward to later and wanting to try the door, but knows it won't open.

{SOL} Dylan and Tavia head out

Dylan Alexander  February 28  For the past week I had been working on different searches, trying to find out what SOL stood for. Who was the owner of the shell company. I was sure the names I'd gotten so far were aliases or minions, not the Breed behind it. Rio had been busy running down leads at night. He hadn't been able to get anything solid so far either.

Leaving the library needing a break and deciding to get some fresh air. Stepping outside I was glad to see the heater was on and then see Tavia sitting there. Maybe she'd have some ideas as to where to search.

"I sis. How are you this afternoon?"

Top of Form

Tavia Chase *Looking up at Dylan* I am doing good, I was just taking a break from answering questions and answers. How are you today? *Sitting back and handing Dylan a cup of hot chocolate* To be honest, I get irritated with some of the humans that want interviews, they tend to ask the dumbest questions. You would think after twenty years they would have gotten use to us. Although I am sure every society has their issues with the unique people. *winks* What's up with you?

Dylan Alexander "I'm sure there are more myths out there than we realize and as you know some people believe what they want no matter what. I have noticed that more humans are sheep in a sense than free thinkers. They find a leader and follow along blindly." Taking the hot chocolate, "Thanks. I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something I have been working on for Rio. I keep coming up with nothing solid and I'm thinking maybe its the terms I'm using when I search."

Tavia Chase *Turning to peer at Dylan* What would that be sis? I would be happy to help in anyway possible. What are you searching for and what terminology are you using to do the searches? *Sipping my hot chocolate, I sit back waiting for the answers I needed to help Dylan and Rio*

Dylan Alexander Sighing softly, my frustration coming through. "I have been trying to find any I can on the lab that made the UV bullets Rio found a few months ago, but I keep coming up empty. Maybe I'm just not thinking how the enemy would. How they would list something or write it. Or what names they might use. I wonder if we have a list of aliases somewhere." Settling into the chair next to her sister. "Do you have ideas?"

Tavia Chase *Running scenarios through my head, thinking of things through out the years* UV bullets, those would almost be like the UV collars that Dragos used to control his Hunters back in the day. It would not be him because he is long gone from this world, but it could be a group of humans that work underground on a secret mission to end Breeds. There have been a few of those over the years, that hired scientist to make weapons, to harm the breed. I know of a old warehouse about five miles from here that use to house the meetings for those people. We could go check it out, maybe they left some information, or something that we could work on. The place is abandoned and safe for us to go to

Dylan Alexander Raising an eyebrow, "That might be a good starting place. The names I have been getting on most of the property records are all standard human names. I'm thinking that they are aliases, but what if they aren't and it is a human group. That could give this an entirely different pretense and I need to change my approach."

Tavia Chase The human group used several aliases and anagrams when they did things. *Grabbing my keys and purse, we head toward the garage* Let's go check it out, it wouldn't hurt to check things out. *Flipping on the GPS tracker* You know we can't leave home without this. *winks and pulls out of the compound heading toward the abandoned warehouse*

Dylan Alexander Shoving my cell in my jean pocket with my id, I follow her. Place a tracker in my coat pocket. In the garage we get into the car and Tavia pulls out. "If they left anything behind with names on it or the group name, it would be great. They are good at hiding things, whoever owns this lab. They have it under a shell company name and I feel I'm failing with not getting much on them." The sun was high, but the sun was deceptive it was still cold out.

Tavia Chase *Arriving at the building I head around to the back of it and up the back stairs. Walking into the main room of the warehouse, I scan the room, looking for any traps, info, or anything out of the unusual. Spotting something across the room that looks a little off, making our way over there, I began to study the wall* Tricky tricky, there is a door here. *Running my fingertips along the border of it, following the pattern, as a door slides open* Stay back a minute, let me look around the room for surveillance. *Running in at breed speed, merely a blur* Okay it is clear I don't see any cameras. *Studying the files in a drawer* I think we found something.

Dylan Alexander As we entered the building, I watched Tavia check it. The way the Breed moves still amazes me after all this time. Going over to the file cabinet and looking through some files, I see some names that were in the searches I'd already done; but nothing new. "So far all there names are ones I've already come across."

Tavia Chase *Tapping my chin* I think we may be onto something though. Why go through the trouble of hiding this stuff in a room? *Scanning the room again, I find a few new files. Hearing a noise, I peek out the broken window of the room, seeing a few men, coming into the front of the building* Sis.. we have company, we need to go now. *Grabbing the drives in the drawer, shoving them in my purse* We can take these with us, return them later, hopefully they will not notice them gone. Flaring out my senses, I hear them coming up the stairs* We need to go that way. *closing the door, I grab Dylan's hand running quickly to the fire escape exit*

Dylan Alexander It was all so quick that it hadn't completely registered yet that Tavia had the drives, but when the cold air hit me my mind processed she had the drives. I had almost pulled back to grab them, out on the fire escape I quietly climb down behind her and we move quickly to the car hidden on a side drive behind some trees. Once inside, "Did you see them? To bad we didn't have time to snap a photo or two of the men. Gideon could have ran them through his software."

Tavia Chase *shaking my head* No I just wanted to get us out of there as quickly, you know Sterling and Rio would tie us up and never let us out again if anything happened to either of us. *winks* Maybe that we know there is someone using that warehouse again, some of the guys could do a recon and place cameras. I seriously doubt Lucan would want us going back, because we don't know who or how dangerous those men are. *pulling out and driving toward the compound, taking a cleansing breath* that was scary, I am glad I heard them coming up the stairs when I did.

Dylan Alexander As we pulled back into the compound, I knew she was right. If something had happened we'd be locked up. Of course that wouldn't be so bad to be locked up with Rio, but he had once threatened to make me clean as a punishment and that wasn't an option. Smiling at the thought, "Yeah they would lock us away, but it is good to know that someone is back there." Pulling into the garage and hugging Tavia when we got out. "Well at least I know another direction to search. Thanks sis." We headed inside to get the drives to Gideon.

{Ashes to Mathias} Setting the Plan in Motion

Mathias Rowan  February 27   *He arrived at the Dome from the JUSTIS Headquarters, frustrated with his recruits. He wondered at times if he should scrap them all and start over. He looked down the mall aisle and the Teardrops sign caught his attention. Maybe it was time to pay Miss Declain another visit. Glancing into the windows of the store, he took note of the ancient looking objects there before opening the door.* — with Aine Declain.

Top of Form

Aine Declain *Pushing my hair out of my face, setting another empty box to the side to be recycled. Cataloging the new items, I pick one up and head for the ladder to put it on the shelf. Hearing the bell above the door chime, I call out* Hello! Welcome to Teardrops. Feel free to look around, I'll be with you in just a minute.

Mathias Rowan *He heard her call out a greeting and mumbled a hello while scanning the area for anything different or unusual. He was still perplexed at why she chose that symbol and decided it was time to dig a little deeper. Walking up to a bookshelf, he picked up a book and thumbed through the pages waiting on Aine to make an appearance.*

Aine Declain *Climbing back down the ladder, I stroll over to the male that had entered, smiling as he turns around* Why Mr. Rowan, what a pleasant surprise. What brings you in today?

Mathias Rowan *He ran a hand through his hair, the feeling of exhaustion hitting him hard. Damn it, he needed to feed and soon.* I need a gift for a couple I know back in Boston, thought I could find something in here. *He blinked and looked at her again. No scent, no breedmate, and he could scrub her memory when he was done.*

Aine Declain *turns my back as I slowly look around my shop, thinking about what to offer him* Something for their home perhaps? I have some lovely vases or decorative pieces that would look perfect on a mantle. *turning back to face him, watching as his eyes finish their trek up my body* Any thoughts?

Mathias Rowan *Nodding, he made a show of looking around.* Works for me. How about you pick something out and wrap it up? I'll pick it up tomorrow to take with me. You can put it on my account?

Aine Declain I can do that. *walks over to the register and pulls out a form* If I can get you to fill out your information I can charge it to your room. *placing a pen on top of the form, I take another look around and walk over to pick up a silver statue and move it back where it should be.* Do you have plans for this evening Mr. Rowan?

Mathias Rowan *He quickly filled out the information resisting the urge to comment that he was sure her father already had it.* No plans, really. Find dinner, catch up on some reading, you know the usual. *Grinning, down at her, he arced a brow, waiting on her response.*

Aine Declain I was just thinking, I don't have anything planned for the evening. Maybe you would care to come up and get to know each other better? *bites my lip and looks up at him from under my lashes*

Mathias Rowan *He nodded, hiding his fangs.* I can handle that. *He looked around the store, noticing nothing unusual.* Do you want to meet later or are you through here?

Aine Declain *Looking at my watch, then back at him* I'm just about finished. I just have to cash out my register. Would you mind waiting a few minutes?

Mathias Rowan *He sighed and wondered what the hell he was doing. He really should go find a club and get dinner then pass out for two days but he found himself responding to her.* Not at all, just let me know when you are ready.

Aine Declain *ducking my head to hide my smile, I open the register and pull out the drawer* Feel free to look around. I'll be in my office for just a few minutes. *Closing the door to my office, turning the lock and sitting down. I quickly count and recount the money, checking the total against my records. Satisfied with the results, I put the money in a lock box and slide it into the safe in the floor. Setting the alarm on the safe and my office, I lock the door and head back into the shop* All done. Are you ready?

Mathias Rowan Of course, after you *holding the door for her to walk through, he waited for her to lock up and followed her to the elevators*

Outing: Alex and Savy go out on the town

Alexandra Maguire   February 26 *Laughing, as she watches the dogs play, Kade walks out dressed in his fatigues ready for his next rotation for night patrol. He walks over to sit beside her on the couch, swiftly placing her on his lap* [hey, babe I'll be heading out in a few. Do you have any plans for tonight?] *wrapping her arms around his neck* yes, I'm meeting up with Savannah later, we're going to check out this dance club *he kisses her softly on the the lips* [make sure your phone is charged and be careful. I'll be checking in on you and I'm certain, no positive Gideon will be surveying Savannah] * she kisses him back and stands* we are always careful, sweetheart not to worry *He stands to kiss her on the forehead before heading out* [love you, babe] *after he leaves she takes a quick shower and text Savvy that she'll be ready in thirty minutes* — with Savannah Dupree.

Top of Form

Savannah Dupree *after getting dressed I head down to the tech lab to say goodbye to Gideon, stepping through the doorway I smile at him* Okay love I'm heading out now, I will see you later. And before you say it I will be very careful and I have my phone. {So, you know what I'm going to say before I say it now? Well, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve love.} *smiling up at him* Oh I know you do! *watching as he bends to place a kiss on my lips* And as always I know you will be watching. *giving him another kiss as he raises a brow at me, winking I back out of his embrace heading off to meet Alex*

Alexandra Maguire Hey girl, what's the plan for tonight *opening the door to the Mercedes SUV, she slides into the driver's seat* I know Gideon gave you the third degree or tried to *she chuckles fastening her seat belt*

Savannah Dupree Well I wanted to go to the dome, I hear they have a great night club there but I don't think our warriors would like going there by ourselves with Dia owning the place. *smiles as I look at her as I close the door and put on my seatbelt* So I was thinking that we would go to a little place across town.*giving her the address I sit back as she drives us to the club*

Alexandra Maguire *Entering the address into the GPS, she starts the car and heads into town* how's things going, sis? Even though we all live within The Compound, we rarely get to see each other *she notices a flicker of light on the dashboard. Reaching out to touch it, it disappears. Feeling along the dashboard, nothing is there. She looks over at Savannah* Did you see that? Please tell me you saw that light flickering up there *she was a bit freaked out, finally noticing a monitor was installed in her car. Brushing off the feeling, she turns on the radio and drives till they reached the club*

Savannah Dupree I have been working on the artifacts and helping Gideon with his surveillance and background checks. It's nice being able to help him out more with his work. *following Alex's gaze I smile then shake my head* Looks like our mates must have gotten together and updated the security system on your car. *laughs and points to the dash as the image of Gideon comes up on the screen* Hi baby *winks at him* I know you said you would be watching but I didn't know you would put the same security systems in Alex's car. {Well babe the system will be in every breedmates car within the week, so you ladies should get used to seeing my handsome face}

Alexandra Maguire Thanks a lot Gideon! *when his face appeared on the screen* for the flash of light across my dashboard! *thumbs up* Real nice! *she smirked as she pulls up in front of the Barcode* OK *wiggling her fingers* Tootles, we ladies have some place to be *she clicks off the screen just before he starts in on security measures. Exiting the vehicle, we walk up to stand in line*

Savannah Dupree *laughing as we make our way to the end of the very long line* Damn, maybe I should have let Gideon get us into the club, this line is long as hell. And yeah I know we have to be careful and everything, but sometimes I really just want to tell them to let us alone for a few minutes... I know that was kind of mean and they love us, but it's been years since there have been any real life or death problems. *seeing Alex nod I smile and take you arm as we continue to chat*

Alexandra Maguire *it didn't take long before we reached the entrance of the club and the owner approached us* Good evening, ladies, I have a message for you from Gideon *grins showing the tips of his fangs* he arranged for VIP for you this evening and since you *he looks at Alex* wanted to be a smart ass and turn him off before hearing him out, he suggested that the club have you both wait awhile in line before acknowledging your arrival but don't worry we kept an eye on you} *shrugging her shoulders, she looks at Savannah* how was I supposed to know, you picked the club. He should have told you. *a lovely waitress close by, escorted us into the club; we were seated in the VIP section and served drinks*

Savannah Dupree *doing a double take as I hear the owners voice, I smile and give him a hug* Michael I didn't know this was your place, Gideon didn't say a word. *looking over to Alex I introduce them before making our way to our seats*<Nice to meet you Alexandra. Savannah you know your mate, he would do all in his power to ensure your safety> *when we take our seats I notice a waitress coming our way with drinks in hand, look up at Michael I smile* <Your mate takes care of everything> *picking up my drink I take a sip tapping my foot to the music* <I will leave you ladies to your fun, if you need anything just let me know> Sorry sis, Gid is so a dead man when we get home. Michael is an old friend from Boston, my mate has known him for about 200 hundred years. *hearing one of my favorite songs start to play I grab Alex's hand and hit the dance floor*

Alexandra Maguire *dancing to the music, she notices a couple of the bouncers in the club eyeing them* Savvy, I believe we're being watched from a distance *moving her hips from side to side, waving her arms in the air. On the dance floor a male approaches her, loudly speaking, he asks her for a dance. She was having such a good time that she didn't realize she had danced through several songs. Returning to the table, she watched the crowd when Savannah walked back to the table and orders another drink*

Savannah Dupree *looking to the right she nods as the bouncers continue to stare* Yeah I'm sure Michael has them keeping an eye out; Gideon is always on top of things! *watching Alex as she moves across the floor I smile and nod as a man asks me for a dance. After about four songs I thank the young man and walk back to our table and order another drink* So when do you want to head home?

Alexandra Maguire *sipping the last of her drink* this was a lot of fun, I'm glad that we did this *her purse vibrates* I guess that answers your question *answering her cell, smiling* even when their hard at work, they check up on us. Gotta love them, sis *she puts on her jacket* I think we better head back now before the pose comes

Savannah Dupree *laughing I nod as I finish my drink, standing I look around catching Michael's eye. As he makes his way over to us we move in his direction. Giving him a hug I thank him for food and drink, with a nod he moves in front of us while his bouncers take up the rear* <What kind of friend would I be if I did not show you to your car?> *smiling I follow him to the door then point out our vehicle. The three men wait until we are safe inside and watch as we pull out of the parking lot. Turning I look back seeing Michael on his cell phone, shaking my head knowing he was on the phone with my mate letting him know we were on the way home*

Alexandra Maguire *safely being guarded to the car, she pulls out of the parking lot looking in her rear view mirror, just as Michael hangs up his cell phone. She shakes her head. Nodding in agreement with Savannah, she takes the long route home. Upon driving up the driveway to the compound, to no surprise to us, our mates await us*

{SOL} Rio and Dylan find SOL

Rio Atanacio‎  *Coming back from patrol he feel the thrumming of his mate drawing him toward the library. Finding Dylan sitting at a small desk he walks over and stands behind her leaning down and kissing the top of her head.* Morning babe. Reading something interesting?

Top of Form

Dylan Alexander *Looking up from the computer screen as she was cross referencing the articles online with news articles in the local papers, but so far she wasn't finding much. Not sure if she was using the wrong terms or that the enemy was just that good at hiding. Smiling at him.* Morning love, I was just trying to see if there was anything in the news blogs or papers. I'm not finding much.

Rio Atanacio *Pulling up a chair and taking a seat beside her.* What exactly are you looking for? Perhaps I can help.

Dylan Alexander I was searching the area where the building was that you and Gideon where looking into. Trying to see if there were any strange reports or incidents. Or even a write up on who purchased the building and what they claim is moving in there.

Rio Atanacio *Sighing deeply* I have a feeling that it is the same people but they have regrouped under a different name. Have you looked to see if there have been new permits for building and businesses issued?

Dylan Alexander *leaning over, kissing his cheek* If always helps to have another set eyes and ideas. * Going to the city records site, types in the address as a few new permits pop up. Opening them up so they can read what they are for and who requested them.*

Rio Atanacio *Draping his arm around her shoulders as they look over the listing of new building and business permits.* Damn business is booming, especially labs.

Dylan Alexander *looking down the long list* Where did you find that box of UV bullets? Was it near any of these buildings?

Rio Atanacio *Running my finger down the long list I find the address to the lab where I found the box* This is the place. Let's see if there is a business application. *With a few strokes of the keys, Dylan brings up the newly issued permits.*

Dylan Alexander * Going down the list of applications the address matches up with a company named SOL, Laboratories.* SOL, does that sound familiar to you? Was there any writing on the box of bullets you found?

Rio Atanacio *Tilting his head in thought.* SOL, that is Spanish for sun.*Standing and taking Dylan's hand* There wasn't any writing on the boxes and as far as the bullet. I never paid attention. Come, let's go have a look.

Dylan Alexander *Following Rio down the corridor to the weapons room, we enter and he goes to over the ammunition's safe. Unlocks it and pulls out a box of the bullets. Taking out one of the bullets, they look at the bottom and there are it is - SOL.*

Rio Atanacio *Carefully returning the box to the locker he shakes his head in thought* We need to find out for sure if SOL is responsible for the development of this ammunition or are there more. labs involved. And even more importantly we need to know who is behind them.

Dylan Alexander *Nodding in agreement* Have a feeling that SOL is going to only be the tip of the iceberg. *Watching Rio put the ammo away* At least we have a starting point now and we can see what we can find on SOL. * She had a feeling that it was going to quite a bit of time to find and break down who the owner of the lab was.*

Status: Kade and Michael

Kade Breed with Elise Chase   *Heading back to my bike after a late night joyride, I pull the keys from my pocket and start to pull on my helmet when a long and lonely howl shatters the silence around me. Placing my helmet back on the handlebars, I turn to find myself staring into the depths of two, marbled glowing eyes, resting symmetrically above a long whiskered snout. Reaching out with my Breed talent, I probe his mind for his thoughts and ask him for his story. Standing in this manner for a better part of an hour, we finally break our link and part to go our separate ways. Resting my hand momentarily under his lupin chin, I inform him that I will call him Michael, in honor of a little buddy of mine. He accepts the name before sprinting to the top of a nearby hill in the direction of his pack and pauses a moment to look back at me. Climbing onto my bike, I turn one last time to watch as he sits back and lets out a frosty howl. Revving the engine, I salute him farewell and drive down the long, snow dusted road towards the Compound*

Sterling Chase posted to‎ Tavia Chase  13 hours ago  *Rolling out of bed. Step, step, shuffle, shuffle. Too early to be awake. Carrying a cup of coffee back to his bedroom for his mate. Grumbling out loud as he pushes open the door and stopping short in his tracks. There she is. Lying in their bed and sleeping like an angel. His beloved, beautiful angel. Quietly setting the cup on the table beside her head, he crawls back under the covers and holds her in his arms till she wakes. Whispering* You were worth it all, 100 times and over again, my love.   — with Tavia Chase.

{Atlanteans} Savy researches the artifacts

Savannah Dupree   *taking a seat at the conference table in the tech lab I watch as my mate sits the boxes down beside me. I smile and wink at Gideon thanking him for his help, then place a notebook and pencil next to me as I pick up the first artifact writing down the tag number before closing my eyes. The vision plays out like a movie showing me the life of the person that made it, feeling like I am looking through the eyes of the person that owned the artifact. I watch as he takes in his surroundings, talking with others in his village.

I watch as he looks down as he works on the piece and there on his wrist is a leather band with a teardrop in a crescent moon. Opening my eyes I grab the pencil writing down every detail, reading it over a few times wanting to be as thorough as possible. When I was satisfied that I had gotten all the information from the artifact I wrapped it up putting it to the side and worked my way through the other pieces I had taken from the collection*

Compound: Gabby and Lucan

Gabrielle M. Thorne with Lucan Thorne   *Lights low, candles lit, water dripping from her body as she walks from the tub to her vanity. The bubbles from her bath still moving over her wet thighs. Grabbing the towel she pats herself dry then grabs for her lotion when his hand reaches for her wrist. Setting her hand on her lap, she looks up into his face and catches her breath* My love? Do you prefer this body soft under your warrior touch? *Running her fingers over her stomach then hips* If so I think a little lotion would do your mate wonders.

Lucan Thorne *Slowly pressing against her pulse point with his thumb, he moves in close to her. The heat from his body envelopes her as he eases her back on the chair, languidly stretching her long leg up, kissing her ankle before resting it on his shoulder. He warms the lotion with a little friction before gently lathering her legs*

Gabrielle M. Thorne Baby, your fingers are like heaven....Who knew an almost 1000 year old vampire's fingers could feel so good *Raising her hands wiggling her fingers as her head falls back* I did, I did...

Lucan Thorne *Gliding his hands along her smooth flesh, her eyes twinkle with mischief as he closes the gap between their bodies. He returns her smile with one of his own and growls against her lips* Angel, a breed learns a thing or two over his many long years, I haven't even begun to show them all to you

She is always providing for everyone else, this evening it is my turn to take care of her. Almost burning the toast again, I save this one and place them on the tray. Flowers- check, Food - check, Juice and Coffee- check, Me - check. Grinning, I make my way to our quarters hoping my mate will enjoy breakfast in bed.*   — with Savannah Dupree.  

Compound: Dare, Micah and Aric talk about being Young GenTwo's

Dare Thorne with Micah Breed   *Heading down the hall, I impulsively decide to turn around. I've been meaning to talk to Micah for awhile about something that has been bothering me. Now's as good a time as any as I'll be going out on patrol rotation soon. Walking up to his door, I knock and wait for him to open.* Hey cuz - got a second? I'd like to talk to you about something.

Top of Form

Micah Breed *Arcing a brow as I invite him in, double checking the schedule in my head to make sure I didn't miss a patrol on accident. God my father would kill me* Yeah, man. Knock some shit out of the way and find a seat *smirking because, as per his mother's demands, his room was always spotless*

Dare Thorne *grinning - I knew his room was always orderly. Aunt Elise would settle for nothing less.* Bro - I just wanted to talk to you about some problems I've been having while on patrol. I figured being Tegan's son, you may have encountered the same things. *taking a deep breath, I continued..* Seems like every time I go out on patrol, someone is shoving me behind them trying to protect me because of who my father is. It's like they don't want to give me a chance. We were trained by the best. I know we're young, but we know our shit. Are you seeing the same thing? What do we do to get them to let us be true warriors?

Micah Breed *Sitting on the floor and resting my back against the wall* So you're getting it too, huh? The other night I was out on that recon mission and a dog knocked the lid off a trashcan in an alley. Kade jumped about three feet and shoved me back so hard I almost tripped on the damn dog. *Lighting a match and flicking it out* He said Tegan would cut off his balls if anything happened. I agree we're young still, but I don't see human teens getting attacked by garbage can lids. *flicking out another match* It's bullshit. Those fogies are jumpy.

Dare Thorne *shaking my head and grinning at the thought of trash cans on the attack* I agree. For fuck's sake, we haven't needed nannies since we were old enough to hunt and feed on our own. Our uncles are just scared shitless of our dads. Malcolm shoved me behind him when we encountered Dia at The Dome that time. I understand that they don't want to risk the wrath of our fathers should something happen, but they gotta loosen the apron strings, you know?

Aric Chase *he makes his way back to his room when he hears voices. Following them to Micah's door he knocks*

Micah Breed *Trading a glance with Dare as we both know we're praying our dad's didn't just hear us. Pulling the door open, I find our little cousin Aric standing there, arcing a brow, I address him* Hey, man *glancing behind him to the hallway* Where's that hot sister of yours?

Aric Chase *He grins at Dare & Micah* Sleeping probably. What are you two up to? Anything good?

Dare Thorne Hey bro - we're just having a bitch fest about our uncles treating us like fragile babies when we're out on patrol. Have you had any problems in that area? Seems like everyone's afraid of our dads and what they would do if we got hurt. Time they let us grow up.

Aric Chase Right? All the damn time! It really pisses me off sometimes.*He takes a seat* I don't think it is they are afraid of my Dad so much as Mum, she is wicked overprotective.

Micah Breed *Flicking the last of the matches with a smirk on my face* You got that right. *Nodding up to where Dare is sitting* Hey, what would you rather do? Admit to Tavia that you let Aric go off by himself during a mission, or shoot me in the kneecap in front of Tegan.

Dare Thorne *bursting into laughter* Are you done with those matches? You're hanging out with Niko too much! As to your question, well, I'd rather eat broken glass than let either of those Gen Ones at me! *laughing* I guess everyone else is leery of the Gen Ones too. How about you guys? Would you want to face my dad, or even my mom if something happened to me? I figure I'd be dead a year before someone told them - you guys would just say I ran off! *smirks*

Aric Chase *he laughs at Micah's question and nods with Dare's answer.* hell yeah man. Bossman and Tegan scare the hell outa me. But damn, they sure have seen a hell of a lot in their years so I guess it is understandable. Yeah Dare, we probably would! Then run like hell ourselves!

Micah Breed In their, what, billions of years, collectively? *flinging the empty book of matches at Dare for the Niko comment* Dude, Niko's always got something explosive somewhere. Surprised the guy still has all his fingers and toes. So get this, I'm out with Hunter one night and things get a little hairy. He runs out of ammo, and had already blown through both back up clips. We're crouched around the corner of a building and he turns to me and says "Stay here, Kid. If you move, I'll kill ya." He hauls his ass off the ground and walks around the corner headlong into enemy fire. To this day I'm not sure if he was protecting me from them, or him. Dude's cold as ice.

Dare Thorne *catching the empty matchbook and flipping it at Aric* Oh yeah - the Gen Ones are steely cold. Especially Nathan. He definitely needs to loosen up. So what do we do? I think they lose sight of the fact that we're Gen Twos. We may be young, but we have grown up with all the technologies available, so can outwit most of the idiots we encounter. I figured if anyone knew how I was feeling, it would be you guys. No way was I going to talk to my parents about it. I can just hear it now - "Dare went to Lucan about us like a momma's boy." No thanks.

Aric Chase *catching the empty book he chuckles* Yeah, I can picture how that would go Cuz. I can't figure a way around it though. The night Brock, Tegan, and I ran into the blood hunt, I got sent back to the car to change the damn tire. Really? Like I couldn't have handled my own.*growls* so, what do we do?

Micah Breed *Arcing a brow at the other two* I have an idea. I say we set up something on our own. Something big. That way we can show them we are ready and we can handle it. Pure, solid, tangible, undeniable truth. No questions asked.

Dare Thorne *glancing at Aric, nodding in agreement* That definitely sounds like a good plan Micah. Maybe if we prove to them finally that we are ok out on our own without having our hands held, our Uncles will ease up. *standing up preparing to leave* I've got to head for my work out, but thanks guys, this sounds like a great plan! We'll get the logistics worked out, and make it happen.
