*'Sanctuary' for Us *

[slippedhalo]

Nikola smirked and nodded, "Yes, please let me know the next time you hear voices." he said, his left arm holding her rather firmly against his body he couldn't resist adding, "How would they feel about you floating naked in my arms?" he asked, his nose just a mere inch or so from her's.

 

[Asa]

Lyda

She smirked clearly he was not taking this with any seriousness.

I don't think the really old man would like it at all the other one I really don't know. Glad you find this funny though Nikola. I can see why Dr Magnus calls you infuriating.

Her eyes never leaving his as the mermaid quickly lost interest in them knowing it was soon to be feeding time.

 

[slippedhalo]

Nikola leaned in even closer and let his growing erection rub against Lyda a little as he held her flush against his body, whispering, "What-say we get them both all riled up and see what they say if we let loose the binds of propriety and self control?" and he leaned in to let his mouth find her's for a kiss.

 

[Asa]

Lyda

I don't think they can s...

He was kissing her instinct tensed every fiber of her being for a moment but just as quickly relaxing and accepting the kiss. A sensation she had never felt before this was... nice. She did not understand it but it was nice. Once the kiss broke she just stared into his eyes blinking lips still softly parted unsure of what to say what she had been saying or anything.

Helen shook her head, "Ashley, don't be daft. We don't even know what this is and certainly your father wouldn't...No...something else has got to be happening here. It's not possible for clones to reproduce." she pushed past Eamonn and pulled Ashley with her into the hall toward the lift to bring her to the medical facility. She needed to get to the bottom of this right away. ...

... Helen passed Will in the hall on the way to the medical facility, a frightened looking Ashley and her puppy-dog eyed lover, Eamonn at her heels. They nodded to each other as they passed and in his eyes she saw the question again, 'Will you ever have enough time for me?' and Helen felt the pang of guilt in her gut because she knew the answer. Never. She would never be able to make enough time for all of her loved ones. Her work was something she was compelled to spend her life on. How could she explain this to Will without him seeing her as cold or unfeeling? She loved him. But, would she always be enough for him? Would he always be following behind and waiting for her? Had she done the right thing in encouraging his affections or should she have sent him back to Abbey? She had little time to worry over her love life because once they were in the Medical Lab she got to work on exploring Ashley's new problem.

In the medical room Ashley broke down “I’m sorry Mum … But you must agree he’s a dish and after all that happened I wanted … needed some fun. It wasn’t my first time although it felt like it” she blushed pointing down between her legs “you know what I mean … my new body was intact … and I didn’t take precautions because we just got carried away with the moment and … I thought I couldn’t get pregnant.”

Looking at her mother Ashley said slowly “I’m feeling movements, deep down. Maybe I’ve been reading too much Twilight or watching too many episodes of Vampire Diaries but something is happening and I don’t know what.” She hesitated before continuing “Only one man will know and you know who that is … maybe we need to consult Roger de Blythe and see how these bodies are made up.”

 

[Archangel1978]

Will

When in the medical bay everyone was bustling about. Helen was of course all business but there was a small hint of something in her face that betrayed that normal all business look and attitude she had. He wondered what was really bothering her. Could he even do anything about it for that matter. She was who she was and he was who he was. Sometimes he was all trying but in the end, he was still too young for her. But he wasn't going to let his feelings for her just die. He would find out what was bothering her but not now. In the meantime, he tried to be useful but just wasn't sure how. His expertise wasn't that in the science field.
"Is there anything I can do to speed things up? " He inquired.

 

[Archangel1978]

Henry
Henry felt her nip at his lower lip and he gently pulled her to the bed. Continuing kissing her passionately he broke off for a moment and gently said "I really love where we have been together in the past little while. How close we've grown and I just wanted to tell you Isis that I love you." Henry couldn't believe he had become so vulnerable but it was the truth. Even with her intense baggage of having the other her, he still loved her.

 

[Asa]

Kate and Declan

She sat staring at the computer screen Declan had told her what she was looking for but so far nothing. Even at best Isis was going to be on the injections for months if not years if they could not find a way to beat the toxin once and for all instead of just counteract it.

Helen had confirmed his thoughts on the Inhibitor Abbyn had used on Lyda. Now it was just a case of not letting the withdrawal coupled with a first shift that should have happened years ago kill the girl. He was finding it entertaining inwardly at least that Tesla was so divided... wanting to get to know Lyda and "study" her for purely trying to better understand what Abbyn did and glean whatever other information he could from her. He would also become snippish with him that he had not figured out what they could do even temporarily to help her.

Isis

She purred at Henry's words and whispered. I love you too Henry... She had only ever said those words to one other person in her very long life. Yet in this moment it felt so natural and comfortable. Stretching back out on the bed with him she stared into his eyes with a purr. It had been a while since she had flipped back to that other being within her and she wondered how long this last injection would last.

 

[Archangel1978]

Henry
He felt her body against his as she stretched out. He watched her eyes as she admitted and confessed similar feelings. Henry's heart beated a thousand beats a second when she did. He smiled and kissed her back hard and deeply.

 

[Asa]

Isis

She pressed into the kiss her purr almost sounding like a growl as her arms held him tight to her. Her legs moving to twine with his her hands tracing over his chest and through his hair. She never thought she would care for another after Watson but like "father" said... "Never say never"

 

[Archangel1978]

His lips got crushed by a growl. He returned the welcomed gift by growling back. He turned them over so he was on top and ripped off his shirt and then tore of her shirt and roared and dropped back down to her chest and assaulted her breasts.

 

[Asa]

Isis

Her body arched beneath him her hands moving to claw at his chest and then his back as she felt his lips on her breasts and the primal energies beginning to grow once more between them. Her eyes seeming to shimmer from that golden color beginning to over take her eyes. Purring those near growl purrs as she held him tight to her fingernails tracing over his back more and more but never to draw blood.

 

[slippedhalo]

Lyda

I don't think they can s...

He was kissing her instinct tensed every fiber of her being for a moment but just as quickly relaxing and accepting the kiss. A sensation she had never felt before this was... nice. She did not understand it but it was nice. Once the kiss broke she just stared into his eyes blinking lips still softly parted unsure of what to say what she had been saying or anything.

Nikola chuckled at the look of pure surprise on Lyda's face. It was perfect. "You're quite a lovely..." but then her eyes met his and he again felt that haunting sensation, as if James Watson was staring him down through the eyes of his child. The sensation of being watched by ''daddy'' didn't sit well with him, not after his most recent offenses with the child of someone he considered a friend and loved one. "...lovely...but, I think perhaps we shouldn't forget our hostess here." he said, turning away to swim back beneath the water's surface, heading toward ''Sally'' the mermaid to avoid his temptation to push his best friend's daughter up against the side of the tank and fuck her like a spring break porn star.

 

[slippedhalo]

In the medical room Ashley broke down “I’m sorry Mum … But you must agree he’s a dish and after all that happened I wanted … needed some fun. It wasn’t my first time although it felt like it” she blushed pointing down between her legs “you know what I mean … my new body was intact … and I didn’t take precautions because we just got carried away with the moment and … I thought I couldn’t get pregnant.”

"How do you intend to do that, Ashley?" asked Helen sarcastically, "He's as dead as Melaven, if you recall." She then began her blood analysis which told her that indeed hormone levels were raised in a pattern that indicated the first trimester of pregnancy. "Good Lord, child...How is this happening?"

"Please..." Magnus patted the medical bed and Ashley hopped up.

"Pardon us, Eamonn." Helen said dismissively as he just caught up to them and entered the lab just in time to find the mother closing the paper curtain around the daughter who was promptly undressing from the waist down as soon as she saw her mother getting the echo-wand and the monitor ready.

Magnus looked into Ashley's face breifly and sighed, "Let's see what's going on in there before we panic any further, alright? No matter what, we'll be ok. I promise to help you through this." Then, her scientific visage appeared once more and she disappeared behind a paper sheet, raising her daughter's legs to place her heels in the stirrups attached to the table. "Scootch toward the edge a little bit more, please...This wand is going to feel a little bit uncomfortable but shouldn't hurt. Watch the screen and we'll take a look at what is happening inside your womb. " Helen instructed, her voice getting calmer as she spouted the usual ''Doctor mumbojumbo'', as Ashley usually called it.

 

[Asa]

Lyda

She simply nodded seeing "That look" in his eyes. The one that said her eyes had scared him away on some remote chance she was anything to the person who's eyes she shared.

Yes should not ignore our hostess...

She swam away from him as well and closer to the depths were Sally had gone if only to tell her that she needed to go get something to eat and be ready for her next injection. Smiling to her she told her to be nice and let Tesla swim for as long as he wanted or just till Kate arrived to feed everyone and ask her to throw him out. A smile and a wave to Tesla and Sally and she began swimming back to the surface to climb out.

Kate

She had begun her rounds of feeding the residents of the tanks chambers with Biggie's help.

 

[YoungLisa]

"How do you intend to do that, Ashley?" asked Helen sarcastically, "He's as dead as Melaven, if you recall." She then began her blood analysis which told her that indeed hormone levels were raised in a pattern that indicated the first trimester of pregnancy. "Good Lord, child...How is this happening?"

Watch the screen and we'll take a look at what is happening inside your womb. " Helen instructed, her voice getting calmer as she spouted the usual ''Doctor mumbojumbo'', as Ashley usually called it.

Ashley laid back and allowed her mother access and said thoughtfully “Mum, you remember when Roger died he left you that note on how we can bring him back ‘When Tesla returns tell him to establish clone base RdB 1460. He’ll understand and know what to do.’. Mum, we owe him, I owe him. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be here like this. And Mum we might need him.”

Tensing herself she felt her mother examining her and winced a few times. “Surely something is happening to me for me to feel the embryo moving at such an early time. What’s to say I won’t be giving birth before the New Year?”

 

[Archangel1978]

Will

He watched Helen in the lab while they all where working and it occurred to him that as Watson had taught him to be aware of everything-Magnus didn't know or had forgotten it seemed to know when to stop and smell the roses. She appreciated beauty and culture of course, but work was who she was and what she was.
He excused himself on looking for more information on Lyda's lineage in the library when he pulled out his tablet and started some own digging for himself. What would Helen Magnus consider a suprise? Something out of the ordinary, something unexpected that would force her to stop for a minute. Will checked his bank balance and sighed. All these days working for sanctuary but no time to spend the funds. He chuckled.
He looked at the future calender and saw that no tests or anything were booked for the weekend. He even went so far and using one of Henry's secret hacking codes, hacked Helen's personal computer and looked through to make sure she had nothing booked for the weekend. It was clear.

He realized he almost was going to have to physically kidnap her from sanctuary to a place or a location where it would not be work and they wouldn't be interrupted.

But then he got thinking. She is a woman of science, mystery and not just flowers and wine. Every man has tried to woo this woman and she chose Will as well. So he was going to have to come up with something even more than just a spa treatment or a nice dinner.

He got it! They needed a puzzle. Something old, unsolved and yet that even Magnus herself would be intrigued by.

He went to the computer and began the search. He looked for all the unsolved or pending cases in the entire Sanctuary database. Some were a large part specimen classifications. No, too mundane. Something more. There was something that did stand out after about 5 hours of hunching over his computer.

The lost city of Atlantis? What the heck. The file said that it was pending. He kept reading. Over the years people had gone looking for it and hadn't found it but had found all these clues and they all pointed to various places on the map.


He laid out a small logistical request for a weekend trip to the various locations. Starting with the greek island location. It was the most likely to have the best clues.

He then went and bought a nice dozen roses and texted Helen "Meet me at midnight in the meeting library. Will (icon of a small heart)"

Will thought, some ways to a woman heart is through her stomach with food, some say it's with diamonds, for Helen Magnus it's a nice puzzle and mystery. He smiled walking back from the florist.



Henry

Isis held him tight as she thrashed under him and began growling. He let loose a howl again and his eyes went a greenish yellow showing his controlled change and he ground his hips down upon her.

 

[Asa]

Isis

She smiled at the control he was gaining over the Wolf within. Reaching a hand to his cheek she lifted his head to look deeper into his eyes smiling before letting him return to his ravenous affections.

Declan

He had seen Kates notes on the observations and pouring over the last of the Cabal files and Dr Abbyn's files and shook his head.

All this insanity and ruthless manipulation to stop one person...

He muttered to himself walking around. He had confirmed it all... there was no other doubt now to pass along his confirmed findings to Magnus and the others... Hopefully this will help Isis. He muttered as he walked past the library...

If only you could have met her Watson...

 

[Archangel1978]

Henry
As Isis looked within him, he paused for the slightest of mements that seemed like an eternity and let her look within. He looked right back at her and while his body and senses all were moving, his feelings and soul were anchored in that moment. She held him at bay with those eyes.

 

[Asa]

Isis

Verrry Good control Henrrry

She purred to him leaning up to nip at his lips. Her arms pulling him closer as she kissed over his neck and chest. She could feel the darker side there in the back of her mind but the injection was still strong in her blood so there was no worry she hoped.

 

[Archangel1978]

Henry

Although he was consumed with passion he stopped for a moment and went very passive and asked very calmly, are you going to be ok if it gets really passionate? How long is the syrum going to last?

 

[Asa]

Isis

She nodded purring leaning up to nuzzle him reassuringly. Nipping at his lips she caressed his cheek again. She knew she had a while and did not want to let that thing in the back of her skull ruin what little she had outside of her "family".

Will... be fine... Still have... quite a while... last test more intense... injection serum...

Declan

It was all there he sat on one of the window sills making sure everything was proven and reproven completely confirmed before sending a message to Isis and Magnus then for good measure in case for some strange reason Isis flipped Henry and Tesla. He would be ready to contact John if he had to for back up. He would have Magnus there when he spoke with Lyda or would leave that to Helen and Isis. A very simple message sent...

We finally have a little good news... A brief meeting before dinner tonight I think would be in order.

Then tracking down Big guy he was smiling. Well Old boy Science has backed up that nose of yours. She is their daughter and with that little tidbit with her blood and our reptile friends venom I stand a very good chance of healing Isis once and for all. He had forgotten just how strong Big Guy was as he grabbed him up in a hug.

Told you so Declan

They laughed and Then Big guy took off.

 

[Archangel1978]

Henry

Henry heard and enjoyed the answer while he reverted to his former activity. He kissed her abodomen and back to her breasts and then moving down to her legs. He took his time. While feeling the primal rage of the beast within, this was a special night. Taking in the fact they both confessed their love, he tried to slow down and enjoy it. Kissing her thighs nipping at her skin here and there. An odd lick followed with a gentle blow of air just enough to cause goosebumps. He unsheathed his claws and ran them up and down her legs gently and firmly but not piercing the skin.

 

[Asa]

Isis

Purring more feeling the kisses licks and claws. Her own claws tracing over his back and shoulder trailing through his hair. She was loving how tender and slow they were taking this moment the profession of love and this far more human mating it was all too perfect.

 

[BiSmiley]

Asteroth

Having strayed from the safety of this Sanctuary Asteroth took it upon himself to immerse himself in this strange world hiding among the shadows of the night. The magic lanterns making that more difficult than it had been in the past, but having borrowed proper clothes it was quite a simple task.

Still none of it seemed to make sense he returned to the Sanctuary after having piflered a fitting ensemble fine deep blue trousers, leather gloves, a charming rimmed hat and long black coat he could hardly recognize his own reflection in the glass.

finding his way back into the Sactuary he sought out the one they called Magnus though it was easier said than done coming across a strange sight the indoor lake held back by more glass, and an oncoming figure paddling about inside. The figure held no heat and was not one of the mermaids within.

The water had deadened the scent but this was most definitely a blood sucker... His natural reaction had his claws pressing at the fingers tips of his gloves but he had made a promise to respect the Sanctuary's residents...for now.

So he waited and watched nothing said he couldn't give the 'thing' a slight scare.

Druitt

Having been here and there enjoying a slight tryst in Paris relishing the memory of poor Jenny, the image of Magnus' doppelganger writing and moaning helplessly beneath him and then before him.

Such delicious memories.

He took to wandering familiar halls until a new face caught his eye...A woman odd he would've recalled such sight before, measured eyes took stock wet hair and no pool within reach, not too mention her state of dress wasn't exactly that of a visitor.

His gaze finally met hers "Feeling refreshed?" A grin played across his lips before he decided to make introductions bowing ever so slightly "Forgive my manners, John Druitt." offering a hand as any gentleman would, a mask like any other he'd worn over the ages.
