Love's Leverage (closed)

[Asa]

Oh believe me it isn't in control unless I want it to be. Combat training sister taught me that well.

She went into the training room and grabbed a bottle of water.

How much do you know about Hwa Rang Do?

She suspected she would need to beat up the wooden dummy again instead of the team muscle.

 

[NickisSora]

"Enough about it just bring it."-He said as he made him self ready she wasn't going to top him that wasn't happening.-

 

[Asa]

She moved carefully eyes watching him expressionless preparing before theseamless shift into combat

Carefully testing for now wary of how lethal her preferred style could be.

 

[NickisSora]

(im aware of it just making Elliot tell her that to let her just release.)-"Come on your not going to hurt me lets go."-The first few strikes he deflected he wanted her to just release.-"Release stop holding back release lets go."-he screamed at her wanting her to release all that frustration.

 

[Asa]

With that she launched if it got too much Nate or the others would surely rush to his aid. Every ounce of of even the most lethal moves as she slithered around the room fighting him. However in no time Nate and Hardisan were in the room watching... Ready. Nate holding the long spear she had left here a weapon of the hwa rang.

Sophie kept them silent and Parker in place as they watched.

 

[NickisSora]

-Blow for blow Elliot was not givjng up or in he let her burst forth using trips and take downs to not harm her he took the hits when she got them but he managed to keep up when he got a moment he looked to his team.-"Go guys its therapy."-He mentions as they faught on elliot had something to prove and that was can ye calm her soul the way he calmed his.-"Lets go i guess you want them to win don't you is this all you got."-

 

[Asa]

I will not kill an ally!!!!

She roared as she continued her attack. Her words calmed Nate a little but Hardisan was not so sure but didn't move the only one to leave the room was Parker.

 

[NickisSora]

-She was hitting harder but that was not all. Elliot looked to her.-"Your still holding back i can take more lets go."-He really wanted her to see anger as he did a tool for a drive to get the work done not for revenge he been down that road and that's how he taught Red. He looked to her eyes.-"Red would be so disappointed if you didn't spar at your best lets go unleash that fury."-Seeing her hesitate for one second Elliot grabbed her and brought her down restraining her a moment and whispered in her ear.-"That anger finally over loaded you i think try again this time let it out ."-He let go rolling away and stood up.-"Come on Dani i know you have it lets see it."-Nate bit his lip and watched.-"Elliot don't do anything foolish." "I know what im doing Nate If Red can honestly harness it like i did i know she can to."

 

[Asa]

Hardisan spoke up.

Dude you ever think her restraint in not killing an ally is a pretty good harness on things?

She glared at him and growled.

Red taught me the restraint not to kill or nearly kill in a spare.

 

[NickisSora]

-Thats what Elliot wanted to hear if she was taught by red that was good enough.-"Ok then."-they ended it as Elliot removed his gloves and put them away going to the bathroom as he began tonwash his face he cycled in his head what was he doing or thinking about.-

 

[Asa]

She slammed past Hardisan and headed to the bar downed a shot and left the bar.

Sophie looked to Nate a little concerned.

We play it Light... Parker... When she comes back talk with her. She might tell you what is in her head about this.

Parker just nodded.

Till she comes back?

Sophie spoke already knowing the answer. Business as usual they did have a case to do and she did have a grift to get going.

 

[NickisSora]

-Elliot sighed and pounded his fist in to a open hand a bit frustrated him self for his approach what was wrong with this. Elliot sighed and calmed down.-"Nate whats the plan now what do we do?"

-Elliot asked and leaned to the wall.-

 

[Asa]

We keep up our case and keep an eye out for her.

Hardisan grinned.

Not to mention the tracking device inside the button of her jacket.

 

[NickisSora]

-Elliot nods.-"Ok until then im going for a walk i think i need i need the air."-Elliot walked to change to clean and dry clothing from sweating and put on jeans a red tee shirt and bootd he walked out and to the near by coffee shop getting a cup and walked a bit around he had his ear piece and that would make a difference.-"I can't believe my self."-He said softly.-

 

[Asa]

Sophie spoke.

Eliot don't beat yourself up over this. Dani has not worked with a team since Nate and Red. Look get a good night's sleep Dani is a big girl she can take care of herself and tomorrow you and Hardisan need to have a meeting about the grift I have in mind.

 

[NickisSora]

-Elliot took his long walk came home and fell asleep. Elliot woke though to red tapping his head he woke up with a start and backed up to the wall.-"Red?"-He said as red stepped back Elliot stood up as they circled each other.-"Am i dreaming?"

 

[Asa]

If I had the choice of being here or with my fiancée why would I chose your ugly mug over her? She's back here isn't she? How the hell did Nate pull that off?

 

[NickisSora]

-Elliot looked yeah it was Red alright.-"Thats fiar i guess...Yeah Nate had me get close to her and convinced her to help her help us gst the mark the same one you guys were working on."-He said and looked.-"I think though i am falling for her and im trying to help her not loose her head...I guess i just want to get to know her to."-He said.-"You know its like i said so long ago...I Need help and i havent said that in forever...whats your take red?"-He asked.-"Do you hold it against nate?"-he said softly as Elliot looked to reds eyes.-

 

[Asa]

You don't give a rat's ass if we hold it against Nate. You wanna know why she does. And as for you falling for my fiancée... I guess she could do worse. Eliot... I saw the way Nate was going we had taken down some heavy players in Dubai. This was some homegrown bonehead that should have been a walk in the park. It was the what that was backing him that tripped everything up. Nate was so sure when the mark crumbled the money would dry up... Instead it turned an easy mark into a tsunami. Nate will never forgive himself for that and nor will he ask truly for forgiveness because he doesn't feel he deserves it. The people you all are facing makes the people who killed us look like choir boys and Dani has always walked all g the lions den in assignments. This one... This one is so personal to her because of my kid sister I know. Dani can't forgive Nate because that would mean she deserved forgiveness too for not being able to protect my sister.

You are falling for pit viper my friend but well worth it if you can get past the fangs to that heart.

 

[NickisSora]

"Hey you were my friend too Red Ok i did care for you when i herd of your passing i purposely kept that promise i would do your work twice as hard and better and i hope i have made you proud ok that is important for me."-He said and looked Red in the eye.-"How did you melt that heart and get her to be so tame around you."-he asked as he looked to Red and stood there red walked up to him with a smile putting his hand on elliots shoulder and punching him in the face Elliot woke up the next morning in a cold sweat. He rubbed his face as it was 7am.-"Freaking red still hits like a mother fucker."-He thinks and shakes his head as he got up and showered and went down stairs. every one else still sleeping. He dressed in Jeans and a shirt for now with socks. He walked to Dani's room to see if she was there he did hit the hay early last night.-

 

[Asa]

Her room was empty. Hardisan was asleep at the computer where be had been keeping an eye on the tracking device be put on Dani.

 

[NickisSora]

-Elliot looked at where shebwas and nods he knew the con and what he had to do he grabbed the clothes he would need and waited patiently he knew better then to just rush in he wlreally wanted her to be ok.-

 

[Asa]

Hardisan woke up and checked a few things.

Umm Nate... If I am seeing this right she is in Chin's hotel suite...

Parker without thinking spoke up.

You mean at least her purse is there.

Sophie looked to Nate who simply said

Parker you're up... Recon the suite. Hardisan... Go with her Eliot you are with Sophie dealing with Liu the "honorable face" of the family and I... I need to go talk to someone.

Without another word Nate took off.

 

[NickisSora]

-Elliot put on the suit he was given and adjusted the glasses.-"If your sure this is going to work."-he smiled and nods. His eyes watched thebroad as theybdrove.-

 

[Asa]

Sophie was driving as they made their way to Liu's. She looked over to Eliot.

You are worried about her. I can't tell you she isn't reckless or driven but she can take care of herself.

She placed the call.

Liu what in the world is going on? Why am I hearing about an attack on the museum. Is your brother an idiot? I am on my way and you had better have damn good reason.
