[The Kingpin]

"Sounds like the organisation i destroyed not long ago...." said Gaara, narrowing his eyes. "I suppose not all of their agents were recruited willingly..." he trailed off. "And what did they tell you about your targets?" he asked. generally these organisations avoided dispensing details as to why they wanted people dead. only when, where, how and through what means. at least, that's what an old friend of his had told him...

[Hopeflower]

Ira gave him a long, calculating look. "They gave me a description, a bit of their background...friends, family, if they'd done time or not..." She glanced at the ceiling for a moment, trying to recall any other details. "Sometimes their crimes. Other times there was a place I was told to watch them from for a few days before striking. The higher-ups didn't care how it was done, so long as it was brutal, and there was no way to recognize the target afterwards."

[The Kingpin]

"Hmm....no. the guys i took out only dealt in descriptions and possible skills to watch out for. the rest was on a need to know basis" responded Gaara. "And...what's your situation with them at the moment?" he inquired after a few moments thought...

[Hopeflower]

"Now?" Ira felt her lips curl into a wicked smile. "I finally said no. They didn't like that... So I'm a demon on the run. They haven't caught up with me yet...they're either still looking for me, or they think I'm dead."

Yoruichi closed her eyes, thinking. So her teacher was a murderer on the run...well, so was she. She had her father's blood on her hands. But unlike Ira...she couldn't regret killing him.

[The Kingpin]

"You'd be wise to be careful then. if the description you gave me is anything to go by, if they do find you...you're in for hell" said Gaara...

[Hopeflower]

"I've been through hell and back," Ira sighed. "What's one more time? Besides...that's only if they can catch me, and last I checked...humans can't fly." She paused, thought for a second, then added in somewhat thoughtful tones, "Unless they're thrown...but they never stay up for longer than it takes for them to hit the ground..."

[The Kingpin]

"So you're saying they didn't have many Mutant agents?" he inquired, somewhat surprised at how quickly she bounced back, chalking it up to hormones. teens....predictable, yet unpredictable he thought inwardly...

[Hopeflower]

Ira let her head hit the wall behind it gently a few times as she thought. "None that I saw. If they had mutants working for them, they kept them shut in all the time. The people I saw all smelled human." Yoruichi looked up sharply at that. So Ira had a keen sense of smell, too. Interesting.

The armored man walked down the white corridor. Hanging plants hung from the ceiling. One of Nexus' experiments... plants that didnt need sunlight to survive. He came to a door. There was a keypad outside. He tapped in the code and the door opened with a hiss of air. He stepped in and the door closed behind him. This was Deviant's home, provided thoughtfully by Nexus industries. Though he the suit he tested could be taken off at anytime by any other person, he depended on it. His cybernetics were seamlessly intergrated with the suit. He also had a rare muscle defect... if he hadnt been recruited into the Nexus hive and given a chance to be more than himself, he'd be wasting away every second, day by day. That grim realitty was far behind him. He moved out of his old apartment. From there, any trace of his existance disappeared. His old name didnt apply to him now. Project Deviant, or simply Deviant, was who he was now. The room was fairly small. He didnt have a bed. He didnt need one. There was a flat screen TV hung against a wall, a black leather couch infront of that. Nearby was a fridge where he kept his snacks and such, and on the opposite sie of the room from that was a book case. The floors were covered in a dark green carpet, the walls were dark blue. At the very back of the room though, there was a strange device. It had a silver and blue base. Deviant walked over to the device, stepping onto it. There was a flash of blue light from the device, which formed into a column around the cybernetic hero. Metalic arms lowered from the roof, latching onto the man's shoulders, suspending him. Another arm lowered, connecting a cable into the back of the armor. Deviant's glowing eyes dimmed black as he powered down, recharging. This was the equivillent of sleep for him. He'd stay like this until he was deployed into the city again. His pistols were unjammed and holstered on his waist...

[The Kingpin]

"I see" responded Gaara, falling silent, eyes closed in thought over the situation , thick black rings around his eyes seeming like another set of pure black eyes for a few moments before he opened them again, ice blue taking the place of black. "Still. there's no telling what they might do to insure a traitor is punished. you'll still need to be careful"...

[Hopeflower]

"Noted," Ira said, giving the wall one last thump with her head before turning to look down at Yoruichi and the stranger. "I don't think anyone got a good look at me tonight...except for you. And you don't look like you're in a hurry to run out and start screaming about it for all to hear." She shrugged. "Call me too relaxed but I think I'm safe...for the moment anyway."

[The Kingpin]

Gaara chuckled lightly, amused. "Well, there was that one woman you nearly scared to death" he commented with a faint smirk...

[Hopeflower]

Ira smiled wickedly. "Ahh, good times," she snickered. "You saw that, huh? She was a bit too preoccupied with ducking...and then shrieking to notice how I actually looked, I assume." Yoruichi shook her head, grinning.

[The Kingpin]

"What about others in the area? that kid in blue and white, for example?" asked Gaara...

[Hopeflower]

"I doubt he got a good look either," Ira said, shrugging. "The whole episode was over in a few seconds, so..." She cocked her head. Her catlike pupils dilated and then contracted to mere slits. "Why the sudden interest in keeping me safe? I get the feeling that, even if something did happen, you probably wouldn't care much...maybe with the exception of an 'I told you so' for kicks."

[The Kingpin]

"I've known Yoru here for a while. I'd hate to see her or her friends get into a mess you can't get out of" explained Gaara simply. a smirk crept it's way onto his featers as he said "But yeah, i would likely say 'i told you so' for kicks....before grinding whatever said problem was into a very fine, bloody paste, of course"...

[Hopeflower]

"Yummy," Ira commented with a faint half-smile, and Yoruichi couldn't tell if she was being serious or not. "Don't worry, Your Royal Spookiness," the amber-eyed teen went on in more serious tones despite the name. "If they do catch up, Yoruichi here will be the first one out of this place." She held up one hand, then twisted it over her heart. "Demon's honor."

[The Kingpin]

"It applies to you aswell, Ira...as i said...I'd hate to see Yoru or any friends of hers get into a mess they can't get out of. unless of course you don't consider eachother friends and are just hanging out with eachother because you both have similar abilities?" asked Gaara...

[Hopeflower]

Ira exchanged a glance with Yoruichi, wondering how much to tell. She blew a small ring of fire as she thought it over, and watched as it disappeared. "I decided I'd teach her what I know, so I guess you could call us friends..." she said after a moment, inclining her head slightly.

[The Kingpin]

"I see...and i take it she's having trouble?" he answered calmly, reffering to the fire...
