Alcott listened to the conversation, though it was clear he wasn't really interested in what either of them had to say. After a moment, however, he broke out into a smile. "Is that right?" he asked. He set the bag down and took a step, smiling charmingly down at the girl. "I'm glad Ben's still having fun with friends. I was afraid he'd be cooped up with all of that porn he hides under his bed." he laughed, shooting Ben a snarky smirk at his "story" before taking a step back. "Ben's dad isn't here right now, but I'd love if he could see you two. He'd also want to know that you're safe, so let me just send a picture real quick." he said while holding up his phone. He paused, taking a picture without flash, then took one with. Then another. And another. He felt like paparazzi, and pretty soon he'd get a good reward himself. As he took the picture, his eyes lifted to meet Ben's, pure malice flashing in those sea blue eyes as his smile talked about all the things he had in store for him.

He crossed his arms in irritation as Alcott spoke to his friend, blushing lightly when he heard tell of the porn he supposedly hid under his bed. Alexis only giggled again, waving a hand dismissively. "Who, Ben? Please! He still blushes when he sees me and the other lifeguards in our swimming suits! Like he could own any porn and actually keep his blood in his head!"
Ben turned to her and barked, "THAT'S ENOUGH!", only to pause at the sound of a camera clicking. He turned to Alcott, glaring at him as the pretty girl made faces and held up bunny ears. He was pretty sure that Armageddon knew about Alexis and her swimming lessons, but just in case he'd forgotten, rage fueled the fire in those silver eyes. "If you're leaving, why don't you take Alexis home? I was bringing her by so that she could tell my parents how well I'm doing in lessons, but if they aren't here, there's not point. You're leaving, aren't you?" He was pretty sure that he could wrack this all up to trespassing soon.

Alcott only smirked at the kid and put one hand on his hip. "Leaving? You're friend's right, you must've lost too much blood. Didn't you just hear me enter a second ago? You heard, right?" he asked the girl, giving her another smile before smiling ruthlessly at the boy. "Why don't you let her wait? You brought her here to talk to your parents about her, and it wouldn't be nice if you made her leave immediately. Alexis, why don't you tell me all about Ben? I'm sure you two have had some nice memories together."

She tapped her chin, then grinned. "I guess I could tell you how we met," she said.
"No."
"But it's not bad-"
"No!"
She shoved him away, then leaned in to tell Alcott the story. "My elder brother was a teacher at our school when we were both freshman, and Ben had a huge crush on him. He found out that my brother has some schoolgirl fetish thing, and I walked in on him waiting for him wearing a schoolgirl's uniform!" She erupted into laughter, looking over to her friend who sat on the arm of the couch, head in his hands. "He fainted from shame, so I ended up having to carry him home!"
Ben refused to look at them, glaring at the ground. "I was fourteen, I was stupid!" he cried.
"Yeah, with the shapeliest legs of any girl I've seen."

"Cross-dressing, huh? It doesn't surprise me. I was helping his step-dad look for something in his room and found a few dresses in his closet." Alcott laughed back after telling his own "story". He looked back down at his phone and typed a few things before sending the message, sliding it back into his pocket with a smug smile.

"I don't have dresses in my closet!" he snapped at the man, glancing at his phone. He and Armageddon had trust in their relationship, he was sure, and anything that this creepy halfbreed sent him had to be false. He just knew that they'd be alright, and that whatever he said, Armageddon would stay on his side.

Alcott lifted his bag of beers and moved to sit on one of the foyer's couches, setting the bag on the table. "Why don't you kids sit and relax? The rest of the family should be here any minute now." he offered while waving a hand towards the seats next to him and getting a cigarette with his other. His smile was almost taunting when directed at Ben.

She sighed and sat, crossing her legs. "I don't have long, though I have a date tonight," she said, suddenly uncomfortable in what she was wearing.
Ben looked at her, unable to suppress his emotions. He had to know who the date was with! "Who's it with?" he asked nonchalantly.
"Abel Hannigan," she answered, although she quickly regretted it.
"Not him! He's such a jerk to you!" he cried. "And on top of that, he's just using you. He sleeps with girls just to say that he did and then he never calls them. You're better off dating a sex toy!"

Alcott gazed at his phone and inhaled his tobacco as the two teens talked amongst themselves. He had done his time teaching, the last thing he needed was to chat with a bunch of brats about romance, even if the biggest brat of all was setting himself up for a joke. Lowering his phone, Alcott removed the cigarette from his lips and blew out a stream of smoke. His eyes gleamed as he noticed something through the window. Ah, they were on their way.

They giggled and gossiped, looking like a bunch of girls as Alcott plotted and did whatever he was doing. Ben smacked Alexis' arm, laughing at her as she joked about her own exploits. "You're such a slut!" he laughed. "All the other girls at school used to hate you for all that. You've always been able to catch the guy even before you were-"

"We're baaack!"
The backdoor of the mansion opened and soon a couple men walked in. They had a decent amount of blood on them, almost dying half of their bodies red.
Gus was smiling ear to ear, which made him look a bit disturbing, but not as disturbing as Zeke and his scowl.
Meg and Darrell seemed fine, but that was because Meg took care of healing bad injuries and Darrel was a long distance fighter.
They each talked among themselves about their fights against the wilderness when they noticed the people in the foyer.
"Oh hey! Uncle Alcott, it's been forever!" Gus beamed as he strode over to the teacher that gladly shook his hand.
"Heya, kiddo. What's with the, uh-"
"Oh we were just-"
"Playing paintball." Darrell interrupted as he joined his brother, his eyes on the girl with the strange outfit - or lack of. "We were playing paintball."
Alcott quickly caught on and nodded. "I see. You lost by a landslide then." he chuckled at Gus before nodding his head at the two before him. "Your stepbrother decided to spend time with this lovely lady instead of joining you."
"Doesn't surprise me." Zeke grunted as he sat down next to Alcott. "He's too high end for us, apparently."
"With a girl like that, though, I would too." Gus grinned and sat down next to Zeke, smiling at the girl. "Hi, I'm Gus. How do you know spazzbrain?"

Ben gazed in horror at his bloodspattered step-family, looking back ot Alexis who merely bounced in delight and turned to smile at them at the mention of paintball. "Oh, I love paintball! I used to play all the time back when I was still a-" She stopped as she heard Gus' question. "I'm Alexis. Ben and I met back in high school, but now I teach him how to swim a couple days of the week."
"Do you really have to tell everyone that I can't swim?" groaned Ban, his head falling into his hands.
She laughed, patting his back. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, Ben! A lot of people can't swim!" She turned back to Gus and his brothers. "I've been trying to teach him for a few weeks, but he's just terrified of the water. He won't even go into the shallow end with water wings and floaties, and I'm a licensed lifeguard, so there's no one that he's safer with!" She giggled as she came up with a story from their first day in the water. "I remember once, I was trying to get him into the pool, and he felt another swimmer swim past his leg, jumped out of the water, and refused to get back in for another hour, convinced that there were jellyfish in the pool."
He groaned, face red in shame. Why of all days did she have to be talkative today?!

Gus bit back a snicker when he heard Alexis' story. "Oh, that is just sooo good to know." he said. So next time he wanted to get back at Ben he just had to put his bed in the middle of a pool next time he went to sleep. Good. But on to pressing matters.
"You know, I don't know how to swim either. Maybe you and I could learn a few things sometime later~" he chuckled charmingly while leaning a little forward.
"What are you talking about, Gus?" Meg asked when she walked over, setting down a tray filled with drinks. "You know how to swim just fi-"
"Zippit!" Gus hissed at her then resumed smiling at the girl in the swimsuit.

She leaned forward as well, crossing her arms underneath her heavy bosom and pressing her breasts together as she smiled flirtatiously at the handsome redhead that she didn't know was related to Ben. "You sure? My training can be pretty hands-on at times, right Ben?"
Ben shrugged, kinda looking forward. "I wouldn't exactly call pushing me into the pool using enough force to shove a jumbo jet training, but-"
She waved a hand at him before returning her attention to Gus. "The pool opens at ten in the morning tomorrow. You get there early enough, your lessons could remain uninterrupted." Alexis boldly reached out to set a manicured hand on Gus' knee. "Unless you have a pool here."
Ben started to say something, then closed his mouth and sat where he was in silence. He was sure that Gus could figure out for himself the deal about Alexis.

It took a great deal for Gus to not look down, and there were times when he "accidentally" slipped up. Although the idea of waking up early wasn't something he liked, the girl before him was more than enough to fix that. Smiling at the knee touch, he leaned forward just a little further. "I don't mind at- OWW!" he yelped and grabbed his head when he was hit. Standing behind the couch and clenching a fist was Armageddon, a vein pulsing at the side of his head.
"Quit flirting and help your sister get the meat ready." he growled. With a grumble and a sniff, Gus reluctantly got up and wandered into the kitchen as ordered.
"Took you long enough." Alcott snorted as he held up a can of beer for the demon to take. "I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up."
"Yeah, well, we had to leave early." the redhead grumbled as he sat down besides the smoker, opening the beer as he did so. He took a few swigs then looked forward, straight at the girl. "And who are you, kid?" he grunted, though it was clear by the angry gleam in his red eyes that he knew.
