*'Sanctuary' for Us *

[YoungLisa]

Adam Worth

Roger... what angle are you trying to work this time? You trying to give them false hope or drag it out till Helen gives in and hands out the source blood? That is what we created the mutating pathogens for...and as I recall vampires want to kill off Shifter HEPs and the lot.

Pacing a little he smirked.

You know me well enough Roger... I have known what was going on in there since before Isis returned. Nasty things sick calisar hounds...

I took your possible presence into account long before you formally introduced yourself. You and the others can stablise her for a day or two at a time but even you can't out do the mutating defenses of the pathogen.

Now what pray tell can you and Nicky boy offer me to change my simple plans? Tell me has John started any protective attitude over Lyda yet? The last link to his best friend and worst enemy and all. They are all horribly sentimental over their lost numbers.

He was very sure of himself to the point it was clear he had something planned down to the last detail and knew that no matter the monkeywrenches it would all end the same... but what was that ending?

Roger de Blythe

“DON’T PUSH IT WORTH!” de Blythe was angry but soon controlled himself before he lost it with his erstwhile business partner. “Let’s be honest, you’ve never liked me and I definitely don’t like you so at least we have some common ground. Those bloody Calisar Hounds were a hindrance to me and I always guessed you might have something to do with it.” He looked disdainfully at the man who had been instrumental in bringing them into the realm of the sanctuary.

Taking a draught from the fluid in the now unsealed container he took another deep breath “Adam, Adam we don’t have to like each other to do business with each other. I purposely died knowing Magnus and her daughter would have to bring me back to life. Now I’m stronger, better equipped for battle than ever and I have an offer for you. One I hope you will not reject. You remember when Titanic sank?” Worth nodded “I rescued Magnus and with her a new serum she was working on. She believes it is missing, lost, but it is in a safe place. With it I can recreate anyone who has lived in the past, give them life again. I just need a tiny sample of their DNA.”

Seeing he had Worth’s attention he said “Tesla and I are working together on this. I have a sample from Magnus’ childhood friend and we are going to bring her back to life. If that works the possibilities are endless. I know you have a locket of Imogen’s hair, all I would need is a tiny piece from one strand and I will give you your daughter back. Stronger, fitter and armed with the power each of the ‘Five’ had as individuals. You will have her back, I promise.”

 

[Asa]

Adam Worth

No NO... Calisar hounds were not my doing but I know what they did to them and how to fix Isis.

He listened intently to him... serums toxins and pathogens chemicals... at least hos old business partner was still sticking to what they knew worked. That ruthless insanity reared up at this vampire talking about his Imogean.

DO NOT TAUNT ME DE BLYTHE. You think you can bring her back... My Imogean...

The rest fell into place in his mind something Helen had been making or working on but why? Helen going against the laws of life and death was not like her. What had she been up to that he now had and clearly tweaked.

Explain yourself Roger... Nikola will be less inclined to work with me than you think I assure you so how are you going to get your little lap dog henchman in line much less get them to be happy to see me?

He had resisted the urge to move his hand to the locket of hair but in this distraction his hand moved to rest over his shirt pocket over his heart. Revenge had been the order of the day for so long and he had changed and been changed by it so much would he know anything else. The madness tugged at his mind but his little friends had been helping him keep it at bay for now but this stress of thoughts and conflicting directions was taking its toll

So how do you think you will heal Isis and James little girl without the source blood? The gems of our chemical genius flow through that girl's veins. As well as a little creation of my own.

He knew De Blythe would want to see exactly what it would do but would he risk Lyda to do it? Yes compared to them she was a child but she was a HEP and a distraction for Helen with her knowing now she was "family". He was however curious as to how Roger thought he might get around that need for pure Source blood to defeat it.

Lyda

She began moving around shaking her head growling trying to call for her mother. She felt like hell... What had happened she wondered but when her eyes fully opened or at least she thought they were fully open she saw someone standing there but she also saw through him. He was simply smiling to her a warm old smile then he was gone. Suddenly she was aware of being fussed over and growled again.

Declan and Kate

Declan moved over to Lyda checking on her and trying to prevent her from removing any of the monitors just yet. He made sure to give Helen plenty of room to help tend to her and get to see her. He saw her looking to one side for a moment and raised a brow looking into the empty space brow raised then hearing her growl he looked back to see her staring at him and at Magnus.

Welcome back Lyda... I don't know whats going on but you need to take it easy till we figure it out alright?

Kate moved into the room with them and grumbled something about more trouble than this place needed. Quickly getting the usual "first drink" Magnus has patients drink and waited till she could get over to Lyda to help her drink it.

 

[slippedhalo]

Tesla joined the whole group now and added his own two cents, "If this is only about source blood we can lay that matter to rest. I mean, this is Helen we're talking about, after all. She's too moral to use it or let anyone else do so either."

"Oh, shut up, Nikola!" Helen blurted and shook her head at his impeccable lack of good timing at some moments. "There's a time and place for everything, but not here, not now. No way will I allow the blood to be used, not even..." She looked to Lyda, suffering, and tears welled in her eyes as she could see her two friends in the young lady before them. It was like watching James die all over again. It was like imagining Isis on the table before them. So painful...almost like when she'd lost Ashley... Her voice wavered only slightly when she added, "...not even for family...It...it wouldn't be right. And, I promise you, the ''gifts'' which come with the blood of vampires has some serious strings attached. It's not all it's cracked up to be, Adam. You need to let this go." She made eye contact and said, "All of you. Let it go. Let me try to treat her in my own way. Turning her into something even more unstable than the HEP she's been could be disasterous. I can't give authorization for something so irresponsible. "

 

[YoungLisa]

OOC I shall be in Ireland from tomorrow. I will have access to a lap top but might not be able to post daily. I'm back 26 March

Roger de Blythe

“We won’t need that lousy source blood from Magnus. I have got something better that even she could not imagine. And believe me Adam I need you onside for something even better so I don’t want to piss you off. I figure if I give you your heart’s desire you will want to give me mine”

Seeing he had Worth’s attention de Blythe said “Keep hold of that lock of hair until we need it. First we need Ashley to successfully give birth. She has some of the source blood in her, she has Tesla’s seed, she has the Cabal mutation and she also has pure ancient vampire blood. Her baby will be like Melaven is being re born into this world.” Holding the container in his hand inking it he continued “Her blood and the serum I have stored safely away means we don’t need Magnus to say yes or no. Ours is going to be more powerful. But our first experiment is with Magnus’ old friend.”

With those words de Blythe said “I’m needed!” And vanished in a wave of teleportation.

Ashley Magnus

Ashley stirred as she felt the baby move and called out “Mom … MOM!” She felt as though her unborn child was having a conversation with someone or something. With a sudden flash she was aware of the presence of Roger de Blythe “YOU! … YOU!” She said accusingly before feeling the child move against her womb.

Roger de Blythe

Smiling kindly de Blythe said reassuringly “It’s ok, it is under control.” As he spoke he telepathically communicated with the foetus “It’s ok. Everything is going to be ok. As long as you behave this time everything will go according to plan.” But even Roger de Blythe wondered what he might be unleashing on the world.

 

[Asa]

Declan

Might I point out Helen that with James blood in her system she already has source blood in her veins... will giving her a "booster shot" of source blood really make that big of a difference?

He was genuinely curious about it but while testing her blood after De Blythe's injection he looked to Tesla almost expecting to see that same strange look he had seen him giving Lyda before in his eyes.

Nikola what was in the injection he gave her?

Lyda

She hissed as her system sped the injection through her growling from the pain to her entire body feeling like it was on fire from the inside out. She had finally realized that Declan said he had knocked her mother out so she seemed to growl out for Tesla.

Nikola... whats happening...

Her face briefly contorted as if attempting to shift her hands turning to claws and gripping the sides of the bed she was laying on. her head and chest lifting off the bed as her body curled some from the burning and pain of the injection the pathogen and the source blood all assaulting each other and her system.

Her eyes purely feline as she stared at them. Suddenly one hand gripping her head she hissed again.

You finally show up again and all you can say is Helen and Isis will figure it out... Not much help old man!

Laying back down she balled up her eyes watching them her mind clearly trying to think to figure it all out to see all the angles and carry itself far from the pain of the body just as her father would have done.

Adam Worth

From our talks are you sure any remote part of your Melevan being back would be a good thing?

Watching him leave Worth wanted a back up plan and who better than the one that would seek to protect his own daughter and that of a fallen friend while her mother was incapable. Speaking of the feral one he was faced with the dilemma... help her or add in their third step to the process... No if he wanted Johnny boy on his side have the leave Isis alone. Rippling back to his hidden lair tracking Johnny was always a little harder he would need some assistance with that.

 

[slippedhalo]

Nikola Tesla

At the sound of Lyda calling out to him in her suffering even the oft' self-absorbed Nikola Tesla felt a stab of sympathy. Plus, he kind of liked the poor girl...She reached out for him and he took her hand to squeeze in support but as she changed into a feline form he had to admit he wasn't as turned on to see her in the nude as he'd been when she'd appeared only human and swam with him in the mermaid tank. His hand slipped when her claws dug into his forearm, triggering his own changes. In his vampire form no, he dug back, giving as good as he'd gotten, with his nails into her arm as well. The hold still held by them both. Baring his fangs, he hissed, "Bad, kitty...calm down, Lyda." She let go as her concentration shifted.

When Tesla heard Ashley crying out for her mother in the other med lab he instantly hurried to her side, feeling a bit silly, running back and forth between patients this way...Helen was just behind him and he shifted back to human again as he eyed Ashley for signs of trouble to his child. "Is she alright? Make sure my child is ok in there!" he demanded eying both Helen and Roger with protective malice. "Protect my baby at all costs." he said, almost as if he'd forgotten Ashley even existed. But, to him her suffering was negligible compared to the one who now shared half his DNA.

 

[Asa]

Lyda

She hissed but his claws digging in helped her focus more. She snarled at Declan fussing and Kate trying to shove this drink down her throat. Her entire system felt like it was on fire something was fighting every chemical in her body but she could feel the source blood and the old man was back. She was piecing it together... he was attached to these people and clearly not like this Worth character she heard them talking to and enraged at.

Focusing harder she slowly ignored the pain for a while to describe the old man the image she kept seeing to them and Declan put them in the computer only to pull up the face of a Magnus... Gregory he mumbled.

Lyda... is that the very old man you said would speak with you before in your mind? He is safe its the other man... Worth you need to distrust.

Muttering a near prayer or request... Help her Gregory.

The old man smiled to her and again was gone but leaving the calm that was always there when he spoke to her mind.

Declan and Kate

Shrugging off that Tesla missed his question he went to work on testing Lyda's blood to see if he could figure out what all was in the injection De Blythe had given her and calming the young woman. Kate tried to have her drink some and try to help her as well to calm down not sure they should sedate her she just found a padded radiation suit and let her claw it the sleeves over her arms.

Should we wake Isis maybe she could help?

Declan looked over from the table shaking his head no.

Probably the best sleep the two of them have gotten in a while. Once I am sure sedating her will not kill her I am going to give Lyda something to make her sleep so you can get some rest too alright.

Kate glared and grumbled...

You need sleep more than I do.

 

[YoungLisa]

Roger de Blythe

Feeling the confusion placed in the minds of the Sanctuary Team caused by Worth’s outbursts de Blythe knew he had a struggle on his hands to convince them that he really meant no harm. Noticing Kate trying to do what was best he sought to defuse the situation. “You really must try to get some rest as well. I’m Vampire, I don’t need it. But you do. I’m not going to allow that young lady” he pointed to Lyda die any more than I’ll let Ashley die.”

Seeing the girl was now in cat form he raised his left arm and holding a crystal in his hand allowed the prism light to shine into the feline eyes. “That’s better” he said soothingly “I want you to relax, relax. Allow the healing power to reach into every cell of your body.”

Turning back to Kate he said “You can leave her now. When she wakes up she’ll be a new woman. Before going to bed will you please just draw some venous blood from Isis and give it to Magnus. Tell her to extract serum elements A, C and D14. She’ll know what I mean. If ever Lyda is in danger from Worth or anyone like him again an injection directly into the left ventricle will cure her immediately.”

Moving across to Ashley he telepathically calmed the unborn child down ‘It’s Ok, everything is in place’ he said calmly ‘we’re nearly ready to embrace true immortality.’

 

[Asa]

Kate

Isis currently isn't well either so corrupt blood being injected into her daughter who already is infected by something buddy boy says you helped create...

Kate eyed him with clear distrust even as he calmed Lyda.

I will keep an eye on things while you help Ashley.

She would keep a close eye on him that was a given though.

 

[slippedhalo]

Magnus hovered close to her daughter who was in and out of consciousness, occasionally checking on Lyda's status as well. With the extra treatment of de Blythe she was stabilizing. Helen wasn't talking to him at the moment, not him nor Tesla and she was relieved when Worth was bodily removed to the shu. She didn't want to deal with them at this moment in time but knew they were each up to something and she would need to find out what soon.

Watching Ashley's growing abdomen swell a bit was enough for her to handle in the current moment, though. She thought they'd have at least some weeks to adapt to this but it seemed it was happening even sooner than that and the changes occurring with Ashley's physiology were likely a torturous ordeal. No woman should have to feel that amount of stretching, growing, aching, in hours as opposed to the months nature gives for her to adjust to the subtle yet ongoing growth. It was freakish and a nightmare for a mother who could do nothing to protect her child from the pain except try to keep her unconscious through the majority of it.

 

[Asa]

Lyda

Slowly the pain stopped the burning passed as she laid there her mind as always trying to process and calculate each event and what can be done next what steps those around her might take and this worth being... curious as a child he had always been so kind when he would visit Dr Abbyn... Perhaps Helen should know of his connection to Dr Abbyn... Perhaps she should tell Worth about killing her. So many questions but if he was up to something that was to affect her new found family perhaps telling him would throw him off his arrogant game and give them an upper hand.

Watching Helen bounce back and forth between her and the pregnant woman she chose not to tell her anything just yet unless she asked her anything or sat with her taking a break or something. She could not figure this De Blythe character out and that bothered her so more observation of him would be required but if he was working with Worth he could be just as unstable as Worth. Luckily the unstable Isis had been asleep so Worth had no real clue about her for now much less De Blythe. Things could get interesting.

 

[Archangel1978]

Will

Will looked on with Magnus seeing the gwrowth and couldn't believe it. He'd seen accelerated growth before but nothing like this. He checked the chart looking for things that would maybe give him more details before asking any questions.


Henry

Racing towards his center, he heard everything going on through the earpiece that Declan had left with him. He got to his computers and started keying in passwords and codes to unlock everything.
Finally in, he scrolled for shield status updates and ran diagnostic tests on all systems. Pulling up camera images on the labs, he was clearly able to see what was going on.

Helen turned to Will, gathering strength through his presence. She leaned against him slightly and whispered softly for only him to hear, "What do you think those two are planning?"

Being close to him this way, even to share a confidence, was something she'd missed a great deal lately and hadn't even fully registered how much until she could feel his warmth and smell the spicy scent of his body near her's. Almost unconsciously, she ran her hand over his chest, tempted to pull him closer to her. She'd missed him. But, her Victorian, British, manner kept her from voicing this as her eyes sought his for an answer to her whispered question.

 

[YoungLisa]

Ashley Magnus

Ashley found herself feeling hot, sick, and wracked with pain. Calling out she begged “Please … Please save me from this. Is there any way you can stop this?” She opened her eyes and saw de Blythe with a clip board in his hands noting readings from various dials that surrounded the bed and adjusting some tubes administering intravenous fluids to her body. Looking at him she begged “Please … Roger … Doctor de Blythe … help me!”

Roger de Blythe

Adding another chemical to the mix de Blythe held Ashley’s left hand in his “It’s ok brave one, you are going to be fine. I’ve eased the pain for you and now it’s up to your mother to agree to us speeding this process up.” He looked at Magnus and held her gaze signalling for her to come outside the room. As she moved towards the door de Blythe looked at Tesla “Monitor her Nikola, if need be give her some of the blood. You know what I mean.”

Outside de Blythe saw the white hot anger that stared out of Helen’s eyes. “You can look at me like that Helen” he said being familiar “but look to yourself because you have the answer. Tesla and I have used the spectrometer to break down the exact ingredients of the source blood and we’ll inject it tonight. But you could save your daughter hours of suffering if you let us have a little of yours now and we’ll replace it.” Thinking of Lyda he continued “It’s not just your child Helen. We can help Isis and her daughter too. We are on the brink of something big, really big. And soon I’ll prove it to you by giving you your closest friend back. It’s going to happen Helen. We really can rid the world of suffering and death. Be part of it with us, EMBRACE IMMORTALITY!”

 

[Archangel1978]

Helen turned to Will, gathering strength through his presence. She leaned against him slightly and whispered softly for only him to hear, "What do you think those two are planning?"

Being close to him this way, even to share a confidence, was something she'd missed a great deal lately and hadn't even fully registered how much until she could feel his warmth and smell the spicy scent of his body near her's. Almost unconsciously, she ran her hand over his chest, tempted to pull him closer to her. She'd missed him. But, her Victorian, British, manner kept her from voicing this as her eyes sought his for an answer to her whispered question.

Will
He felt her touch his chest and took a large quiet gasp of shock. It had been so long since he felt her touch. The hand on the chest combined with a whisper in the ear almost sent him over the edge to jump her there and then.
He gently put the clipboard down and leaned back into her ear and whispered even deeper, softer and nuzzling his nose around her ear on the side of her head that was obscured so that only the two of them felt it.
"Honestly Helen I dont know what's going on. I'm trying to understand what's happening, but really, the dealings I've personally had with this DeBlythe are limited so I'm still observing him and his methods before I reach a conclusion. Tip from our old friend watson left me before he left us."

Henry

Henry took a large sip of his NOS stash sitting in the little fridge and then got down to it. Everyone had recently got implanted with a small earpiece that allowed them to communicate within 200km's of Henry's location. Being they were all in Sanctuary he thought this would be a good trial run for new tech and being that the situation was a little charged it was a good reason to see how people handled having it work under stress.
He turned it on and asked for updates.
"Hey everyone, Henry here. I'm using this time to run a test on our new ear pieces and their communication function. I'd like everyone to just give me a quick status report and then I'll change into group mode that allows everyone to talk to everyone else. But for now just check in."
He took another long sip of NOS and hit the little Ipod with his power music mix. Currently rocking some Back in Black from ACDC he waited for responses and analyzed the readings of the shield.

 

[Asa]

Kate and Declan

Kate checked in but Declans' "Checking in" was...

Henry... Damn it... Don't even think about it Lyda...

Lyda

She felt better yet something was not quite right... She felt the need to stand to move to find them all... A drive she did not quite understand but all analysis of this motivation seemed logical and necessary. Pulling the medical equipment from her she looked around as she sat up for a moment then standing. Walking she moved first to her mother then to Declan.

You need to watch over Isis and and let me do what I need to do... Got it? These fiascos around here have got to stop... so we will be making that happen... all of the sanctuary family that is... Any who don't like it... Big guy can show them the door with little if any trouble. So please watch over Isis and get out of my way.

With that she turned and began walking deeper into the medical facilities observing intently every inch of the place as she walked. She was there but not there in control but not in control... What the hell had De Blythe given... No it wasn't what he did it was... Fine old man we will play this your way for a moment she thought. At least its not that annoying prick Worth.

Gregory Magnus

He did not like hijacking his granddaughter's body like this but with everything he had picked up on going on around her he had to do something... There were too many things pulling Helen and Isis in too many different directions and clearly had made sure Isis could not protect Helen so even though he preferred they figure things out he had to step in. Thinking now that maybe there were other times he should have stepped in but to the world he had been dead a long time and Helen and Isis had created a fairly decent lives for themselves figuring out his gifts and cryptic messages till now. HOwever being called a really old man by his granddaughter Lyda was a little annoying.

Declan

Once it went to group Declan was sure that only Will and Helen would hear him or at least he hoped that none of the others save for Tesla perhaps would hear him.

Incoming I think... Lyda seems not quite herself...

Adam Worth

His connection to Lyda seemed strained... somthing or someone was interfering. But it did seem to have the little human watch dog on alert and hopefully right at her side... His little cohort informed him of the fact that the larger feline seemed to be unguarded. Carefully following a different level of radiation Adam swapped places once more and now stood there staring down into the apparently sleeping face of Isis.

Such a lovely still after all this time... Well now... I hold the cards this time kitty... I can fix you and Roger thinks he can fix your daughter... yes thats right De Blythe is back... little Ashley did it... You try so hard to protect them and this is the thanks you get... they bring back someone who can and will manipulate and hurt them if not kill them as simply a means to an end... but I...

Suddenly he found a very clawed hand tight around his throat and the dark evil insane eyes of the "other half" of Isis grinning at him.

Isis

Something touched her senses... bringing the darkness firmly to the surface with a sadistic smile. Feeling blood and the spark of radiation seeping into her own skin and body she began to laugh.

You can not talk to weak one... like the others you deal with ME! Weak one will NOT be manipulated any more and We do not care... Let the fools even this vermin De Blythe destroy themselves... We will be free from all of them Weak one will be protected by us then and we will be as we were meant to be. Destroyer... Death...

Slowly standing as devices rip from her and machines fall over from the pull of her standing holding Worth by the throat.

Weak one does not like you perhaps your death will be first.

 

[Archangel1978]

Henry
Hearing Declan he switched the group function on and said "Declan, again repeat your status..Declan needs backup in the lab with Lyda for some reason. Whoever is closest radio in and get moving!"

He wondered where Magnus was and then checked the monitors..she was still alongside ashley and will was there with them. Ok, so crisis number 2 going...right. He smiled. Some sick part of him loved the crazyness of it all. He grabbed his mobile tablet that accessed everything remotely and ran to find declan. He pulled along a tranq gun just in case.

 

[slippedhalo]

Helen Magnus felt the wrongness of it to her very core but she'd finally consented to allow the work with the extra source blood. She could see the disapproval in Will's eyes as she nodded and gave the go-ahead.

"Gregory Magnus would never..." he began. But, she cut him off curtly.

"Don't tell ME about my own father, William. You think I don't know he'd be disappointed right now? Of course he would! But, he also wouldn't want to see Isis's lose her child. He wouldn't want to see his loved ones suffer. And, Ashley...I'm sorry, Will..."

He grabbed her in a hug just as her voice broke off. He always did have really great timing. Helen was thankful he said nothing more and just held her for a moment...at least, until she became self conscious of the others around watching and pulled back to a more appropriate distance. She rolled up her sleeve and watched as de Blythe injected the needle and pulled out two neat little portions of her powerful blood. He and Nikola Tesla got to work on it immediately. She couldn't help but notice the look of slight discomfort on Nikola's face as he worked. He wasn't entirely convinced in de Blythe's cause. Should she be?

 

[slippedhalo]

Jenny swallowed the lump of fear that formed in her throat at the sight of the dripping blade held with the shaking fingers that told her so much of the barely contained impulses battling for free reign, pushed back down by Druitt.

She shivered, yet remarkably, she felt herself moisten in places most would not usually think a normal reaction to the thrill of fear...

Summoning up her nerve she stepped forward and put her open palms on John's back, soothingly rubbing before slowly wrapping her arms around him in an embrace. "I won't leave you right now. You get left alone too much. Let me stay here with you for a little while." she insisted softly, nuzzling his neck gently to drive home her point. "There's other ways to deal with your feelings." The spirited blonde waited for his response, hoping he'd at least let her be his friend if they weren't meant to be lovers (although she still tingled at the thought of their first experience together and longed to try again sometime...) but that he'd accept her olive branch nonetheless.

......

 

[Asa]

Lyda/Gregory

HELEN MAGNUS!

The voice may have been Lyda but the tone no one but a father could get. Even her eyes held a stern look to them.

Nikola Get that THing away from my daughter and granddaughter. Trust you to protect them... seems to be quite the laugh... never thought I would see the day when the ego with fangs would be OWNED by another vammpire.

Dismissing them all he stared at Helen through his granddaughters eyes.

Your young friend there knows me well... But yet here I am doing something else I DETEST in Hijacking my granddaughters body to get some sense into you. Death is needed... You know that... Helen... Damn she is strong even mentally... and very irate... Helen Use your own brains and don't let that ego nor Roger De Blythe manipulate and USE you...

With that Lyda nearly roared as she collapsed to the floor sitting there she stared at Helen.

So what was so important I'm awake and back in pain? I know it was the really old guy and not that idiot Worth so what does he want?

Declan

He had followed Lyda just a little to see where she was headed and then heard the alarms go off as Isis stood up and the wires ripping from her and the machines. Some machines falling over when they broke free from her.

Isis... ISIS!

Then he realized there was a form with a ghostly outline at the end of her extended arm.

Henry check the cameras in the room with Isis quick full spectrum... Something here with us... and well she is holding it by the neck right now and is about to... LOCK DOWN Max security Med room.. DRUITT if you are available!!!!

Adam Worth

Druitt... Good the idiot called the one I can reason with... Johnny boy always has some dark desire that something I possess would help him perfectly... At least he didn't call Helen to try to reason with her.

Ahh the... true... form of... Isis... Why... appease... weak one... by killing... me. Why not... let... me help... you keep her... from them... and their... goody goody... ways?

Gripping at the hand at his throat... he hissed something and began to ripple.

Think... about my offer... I really... must be... going... now...

He slowly faded into the rippling but not before the camera caught at least the outline of the suit he uses and the forming of the little creature that sought to replace him before it seemed to vanish too.

Once solid enough to see the creature holding it the being teleported somewhere else in the sanctuary.

Isis

She listened to his words but was more agitated at losing a potential kill than about her other side having a fit about his presence. She looked around at the remains of wires and machines and snarled but shook her head feeling a little light headed and sat back down on the bed.

 

[slippedhalo]

Helen stared, slack jawed at Lyda...at Lyda channeling her father, Gregory Magnus, himself! "Father? How?" she asked in astonishment.

The blush of shame crept into her cheeks as she realized he was right. This wasn't like her, letting someone like de Blythe take over, letting Adam Worth rattle her cage...

She turned to Tesla and knocked the test tubes from his hand before he could even stop her.

Will was on them at the same instant and he crushed the glass tubing under his boot. Her blood now stained the floor.

"I've changed my mind. This isn't the way." Magnus said, feeling much more like herself than she had in a very long time. She looked from Nikola to Will and back again, seeing approval and pride reflected back in their eyes. Yes, they saw what she felt. This was the right choice. "deBlythe, your way is not how we're going to do things. It's my Sanctuary, my lab, my family. We'll do it my way or you can get the hell out." she announced.

 

[Asa]

Kate

I will get Lyda back to her room unless you want to do so Magnus.

She was still a little stunned herself at what all was going on. Hearing the Alarms she shook her head though awaited to see what Helen said. She hoped that Tesla was back in his right mind and on Helen's side though she doubted that whoever that was manipulating Lyda calling Tesla "Owned" was a person to be messed with since Nikola was so quiet. She never thought she would see the day that he was put so far into his place that he was so silent.

Declan

Seeing Isis eyes Declan did the only think he really could as a human and readied a traquilizer dart in the rifle. Realizing John would not show back up he aimed and luckily fired right as she noticed him there.

Good Night Isis... Hope you wake up this time in a better mood.

With that he put her back in the hospital bed and reattached the machines and set them up and watched over her for a bit till he knew she was stable.

ooc: Ok, sorry to character borrow but to move things along and keep up the pace...

Druitt:

John simply growled in response to Jenny's attempts at comforting him. A part of him (such as the rising bulge beneath his shorts) did want to attempt to get to like her more and maybe even test out his urges to try some tenderness sometime...but not today. He roughly pulled her around to his front, facing her, her wrists trapped in his powerful fists... Resisting the urge to do something harmful to her, or even to kiss those ever familiar and yet different lips...He simply teleported them back to where Jenny belonged. He set her down forcefully on her bed in her room at the Sanctuary and was about to teleport away again when he heard the intercoms going crazy. His name was being called. He was being paged to the medical unit. Instantly, paternal instincts fired up and he worried Ashley or her unborn spawn of Tesla could possibly be in danger.

He was by her side in an instant, hovering like a responsible parent, shoving everyone but Helen away from his child's bedside. "What is it? What's happening?" he asked gruffly. But, as Isis was dragged into the medical area and strapped to a bed he noted it may have been others needing his support. "Someone called me?" Druitt asked Declan who looked tired and determined both at once and then looked for answers once more from Helen...Helen, just minutes ago he had nearly kissed identical lips. Lips like her's which would likely never touch his again...Why is life so confusing? he wondered, not for the first time.

Declan

Looking to John he sighed.

Get us somewhere we can talk without being overheard

Once they had teleported to a safe and secure location Declan looked at him...

Now where to begin... Someone named Adam Worth apparently popped in at least twice which seemed to piss off everyone around. Gregory Magnus hijacked Lyda's body to get a very clear point across to Helen and the rest of us including calling Tesla owned by De Blythe. Isis appears to be getting worse. beyond that I think you are pretty caught up. I want answers though. Worth called De Blythe his business partner and the one who helped him create the toxins trying to kill Lyda. John... You know me I do not like the thought of having to kill anyone but I need you and Nikola to get all the information you two can out of this Worth character and De Blythe. I am not willing to lose Ashley Isis nor Lyda even if that means we have to kill to save them...

His face cold and emotionless...

We have to get Nikola on the same page about this and no longer being De Blythes little yes man.

Helen stared, slack jawed at Lyda...at Lyda channeling her father, Gregory Magnus, himself! "Father? How?" she asked in astonishment.

The blush of shame crept into her cheeks as she realized he was right. This wasn't like her, letting someone like de Blythe take over, letting Adam Worth rattle her cage...

She turned to Tesla and knocked the test tubes from his hand before he could even stop her.

Will was on them at the same instant and he crushed the glass tubing under his boot. Her blood now stained the floor.

"I've changed my mind. This isn't the way." Magnus said, feeling much more like herself than she had in a very long time. She looked from Nikola to Will and back again, seeing approval and pride reflected back in their eyes. Yes, they saw what she felt. This was the right choice. "deBlythe, your way is not how we're going to do things. It's my Sanctuary, my lab, my family. We'll do it my way or you can get the hell out." she announced.

The Big Guy jumped as he heard the smashing of the glass test tubes and then saw Will crush the glass into the serum making it completely useless.

Looking at de Blythe he saw the anger in his eyes and moved to stand between him and Magnus. "I'm sorry Doctor" he said quietly but firmly "I really believe you have the best intentions but you know what they say about the road to hell!" He saw the ancient vampire hesitate, appear to rebel and then with a sigh accept the situation for what it was. Big Guy continued "I meant what I said earlier, I am grateful, we're all grateful to you for brinbging back our beloved Ashley. But you must accept no one lives for ever. Even Doctor Magnus will die one day. I believe you and her can and should work together, you could achieve so much. But it IS her sanctuary, her daughter. Please ..." Holding an arm out he held de Blythe by the shoulder and gently said "I know you're disappointed, but this is all for the best. Why not see what else you can do to help her?"

Big Guy saw a possible nod of acceptance from de Blythe which was more than he saw in Nikola Tesla's eyes. He was fuming with inner rage.
