Blinking a few times Luca stared looking around the room, "What?" He said as he looked around the office space, seeing the collection of Owls, it reminded him of when everyone was taken to Che's former house and everyone remembers how that went down...With bullets and missiles. He looked forward as the raven haired diclonius owl tackled into him, knocking him over. He blinked again looking at Bailey he smiled. "Hey Bailey long time no see." He said as he hugged her back. Shifting his weight he sat up still holding onto Bailey. "Looks like you haven't changed to much over these past few months, but I'm kind of glad about that you don't need to change." He said softly. He looked around the room wondering what they were all doing here. "Not that it's not great to see you all again, but what are we doing here? Last time I checked I was in Oregon and now I'm...In an office?" He said as he observed the room once again.
"So as I was saying I-" Anderson blinked a few times looking forward as if he were talking to someone. He looked around the blonde Owl was confused as all hell. "What? Hey I was talking to someone...Ah man..." He said as he slouched a little. The blonde Owl stood up straight as he looked at the people who had gathered around the room. "Wow it's like a family reunion...Only there's only like four of us here that are actually related." He smiled and stretched his arms over his head. "So how has everyone been? Wow i feel like this is like the awkward table at a highschool reunion....Cecilia, how long have you had a baby? Wait, does that mean I'm like an uncle or soemthing?" he asked as he looked towards Aiden. He raised an eyebrow, blinking a few times. "He really doesn't look like Roulin...Well that's a good thing he doesn't need his father's hair...No offense Roulin but I've seen Che's hair...it's not the 70's anymore man time to get an upgrade on that." He wasn't aware of the fact that it was actually Amara and Lucien's child and not Cecilia's and Roulin but the baby was only a few months old, distinguishing it to the correct parent's would be hard when all it was was a pudgy mass of cute baby fat. The upbeat OWL was wearing a pair of light blue jeans, a silver chain necklace hung around his neck and a white shortsleeve "Element" shirt covered his chest. "Well Germany is nice, you'd be suprised how nice the treatment you'll receive is when you're blonde." The obvious joke was just his way of trying to bring the mood of the room up, people seemed more confused then ever.
Lucien stood looking around the room, the confusion of a sudden teleportation should have worn off but it still suprised him nonetheless. He looked towards the others, wondering if they would still recognise him, his appearance had changed drastically but he was still recognisable. "You have quite the timing Will I'll give you that." he said assuming it was the ever sly Satan Owl. "Your timing is impecable I can see that hasn't changed over time." He said as he folded his arms gently across his chest. As Bailey tackled Luca to the ground Lucien sighed. "Oregon? You were in Oregon? You should have answered the call to service I sent to you, oh well what's done is done." he said as he looked at the table, he reached out pulling out a chair, he took a seat looking at the people who had also been warped into the room. "This is quite the gathering I see. Just like when we were all taken to Che's House, that was quite the experience." He said as he looked at each one of them. Sibal stood against the wall behind Lucien, he would have broken a chair if he sat down in one anyways. Lucien had one final remark for Roulin, one that had suddenly re-entered his mind as he thoguht about sudden teleportation entrances and disappearances. "Roulin...have you been visited by Phantom and Radiant? You know the two mystery Owls who seem to constantly pull on everyone's patience with their constant entering and disappearing." He said as he rubbed the side of his head, they were Owls that he figured would have been more active in this struggle but for whatever reason had remained with theposition of stage hands rather then actors up on this stage that they called the world. It didn't bother him that he had said that in a public room as opposed to just Roulin in general there was no point in keeping a secret that was so minimal, Lucien didn't know what the purpose was of them signing the contract he wondered if Roulin happened to know.

Aeon had reached their home and began to take baby Aiden out of the car seat. She grabbed the baby bag and immediately she felt herself being pulled upwards as she grabbed a hold of Aiden. Soon she found herself in the same room as the others. Clearly they had been teleported...Aiden merely laughed as they were now in Will's office. When she saw Moli she smiled, trying to push it down a bit but failing horribly. "Moli!!!" she said as she ran towards him. Hugging him she was so excited to see him, but within her excitement she didn't notice Lucien. She was holding his son and he didn't know it. She hoped that Lucien wouldn't be inquisitive about it...because Aeon was a horrible liar, and would probably cave in the very moment he asked her about him. Moli would already know that this was Amara's baby though, seeing how he was the first person Aeon had told.
"You really are a charming man" Elle said in a flirtatious voice. She had warmed up to Charles throughout their day together. Who knew that something so, blissful was actually obtainable in life. Before she could lean in to kiss him she felt her body being pulled an she was instantly in an office. Looking around to see the others plus her sister she knew that it would have to have been Will's place they were in, he was the only one who really possessed money.
Jeannie had been quite since it seemed that Lucien and Roulin were natural Chatty Cathys. Running her fingers through her hair, she felt a tugging sensation as she looked up and she was no longer in the horrid motel they had just left. She soon deducted this was Will's office. Looking at Che and Will she smiled. "Good evening men" she said as she immediately eyed the alcohol and made her way to the bar. Will had a bottle of Nuvo, some of her favorite. Taking the pink bottle, she placed it on the counter and took out a glass and added ice into it. "I must say this is a nice bar you have" she said as she poured the contents of the bottle into the glass. Taking a sip she closed her eyes. "So tasty" she smiled.
Vincent looked over to see Amara on a killing spree. He continued to fight off the soldiers who were ambushing the building. Vincent was indeed very sad that the kid they had rescued was now dead. Until now, Vincent was very unaware of how cruel the people in this world were. He continued to fight and prayed that they would make it out of this alive.
Amara looked at the remainder of the people as she penetrated every last mind cutting off nervous endings. Some going numb, others not being able to see, she did this for her own amusement. Shattering the glass with her telekinesis she flew out into the sky above the underground city they were in. She would rid the world of concentration camps for OWLs but it would require much thought. Closing her eyes she focused her mental energy, finding each person who was responsible for all 8 camps in Europe. When she found their minds, she linked them to hers.
You will release every prisoner in those retched camps. Anyone who tries to get in your way, you will kill them. Once every prisoner is released you will then kill your men and then yourself. There is no room for error. she commanded. She needed more energy. This side of Amara's personality knew about the hive mind, she had felt more psychic presence the last few months and this had confirmed it. Projecting a message to Elle, Amara began to draw energy. Listen little girl, I don't know what you have done with my mind...but after what I do, I demand you leave it....I would hate to have to kill you she projected to Elle.
The black aura swirled around Amara as she created waves of black psychic energy as it began to break down and incinerate countless buildings. Many screams could be heard as women, children and men's screams were heard. "You built this city to protect your kind...oppressing others to live well...you're pathetic and I'm here to give my judgement" she said in an ominous voice. Turning around she looked at the man who had ordered for the death of the kid, staring at his lifeless body, she pulled it towards her as she began to drain the psychic aura he possessed. "I knew you were an OWL...nothing is more sick than a self hating person" she said as she flung his body out of the window and into the abyss of growing black psychic energy.
"Vincent it's time that we leave" she said grabbing her student as she used her mental abilities and in a flash they were gone.
Elle felt an uncomfortable feeling before she heard Amara's warning to her. Her eye began to twitch as she heard the threat from the Lucky OWL ring in her head. How dare she try and tell her how the mind would work. You must forget your place Luck OWL...You are now in a collective...I am the queen...I had defference she projected. When Amara began to steal Elle's psychic energy, Elle began to sweat. IT was painful and her eyes glew a teal color that she couldn't control. That b***h Amara will be sorry for ever trying to forget her place.
As Jeannie began to drink some more a huge pain in her head had emerged. Jeannie could feel the raw power that was being used. Amara she thought to herself. Until now Jeannie hadn't realized that her mind was linked to other psychics but she could feel Amara in her head. Maybe her plan would be more obtainable now that there was a link. She would have to do more investigating and keep her mental blocks up, or at least create a block in the flow of thoughts, leaving her mind unnoticed for most of the time if she focused. Her eyes began to glow the same teal color, she immediately faced the bar as she took another sip of her drink.
Evelynn was helping a group of telekinetic kids focus their powers and produce their psychic aura when all of a sudden her head began to hurt. She knew exactly what was going on, her daughter had made her transformation. She still however felt the pain coursing through her head as her eyes glew a teal color. How her daughter was drawing power from her was still a mystery but it was something Evelynn intended on finding out.
With blinding speeds, Amara and Vincent were flying through the air as the initial camp they were in exploded and ceased to exist. Amara knew exactly where the group was, she could tell the moment she drew her psychic energy from Elle. Soon enough she arrived outside of Will's and flew through the office window, telekineticly shattering it before she went through and as she landed with Vincent in tow, sealed the window shut telekineticly. That was always a trick she wanted to try. Placing Vincent down she looked at the others, and then at her sister and her son...Aiden.

Erin said nothing throughout Roulin and Lucien's conversation. She simply followed the group as they made their way towards the new living accommodations that the Life Owl had set up for them in New Orleans. She wallked next to Bailey but one or two steps behind the Diclonious Owl. She could feel the nervous aura seeping off of Bailey's frame, but didn't mention it at all out loud.
She also remained silent even though Lucien had asked her about Elle. She didn't feel it necessary to tell Lucien anything about what had transpired between her and her sister. It was none of the Death Owl's business at the moment anyway. All Erin did was keep an almost imperceptible smile on her lips as they walked. The cold weather didn't bother her as much as one might think it would.
Even though the hotel came within view and they had already started walking up the driveway towards it, the fates had other plans for their group. Blinking, startled, Erin could feel some unstoppable force dragging her away from her original destination, being the hotel. One moment she and the rest were in front of the nice hotel in New Orleans and the next... they were transported to a very upscale office in... Las Vegas? At least that was what the Satan Owl had just said. Wait a moment... they had all been teleported to Las Vegas and were now among the others besides themselves. These were people she hadn't seen nor heard from in two and a half months. Erin looked around a bit at the office, trying to get her bearings. Among the people, the Artistic Owl noticed her sister. Even though she had known Elle was fine due to the innate abilities they shared to be able to sense each other, Erin was happy to know that her older sister was doing alright. Erin smiled her usual gentle smile, but did not wave at Elle to get her attention. After all, Elle had her own plans to follow their programming, and Erin planned to stop that in any way she could. Though at the moment, it seemed as though Elle was having a bit of trouble from the hive mind of Amara, Jeannie, and Evelynn. But Erin said nothing regarding it.
For now, Erin returned her attention to what was going on in the room. The Artistic Owl's completely red eyes scanned the room and its occupants, taking stock of their current situation. Bailey was ecstatic to run into Luca, so Erin was happy that the two were finally reunited after two months of being apart as it seemed that the two of them were rather close and quite possibly even dating. As usual, Anderson was trying to lighten the mood in the room, which is probably what Erin would have done as well. It was nice to see everyone together again, even if some of them weren't their usual selves.
==
Kate let out a light chuckle in response. "Heh... You are right in that sense, Keres... It is not worth the effort to let the actions of others affect me so much..." Kate stated softly, leaning her chin onto the top of her knees so that the young girl would be able to get at her long pink hair more easily. For now, it seemed that Kate's nerves were calmed down. At least now she didn't have to worry about Keres bugging her about eating. Even though Kate was actually a little bit hungry after the mentioning of food and eating it, she resisted the urge to grab something from the plastic bag Keres had brought to her.
Kate allowed Keres to begin braiding her long hair. She sat in silence, patiently waiting for Keres to finish. The front strands of hair were left loose and hung across her face as she stared down at the carpet. Though, the Eternity Owl made no move to tuck the strands behind her ears. But during the time she was staring ahead, her vision lost focus. But it wasn't because she felt weak or woozy. It was because she and Keres were being teleported. But to where was only revealed once the two of them arrived back in Will's office. Kate recognized it right away because of the color of the carpet and the voices in the room. 'W-What!' Kate thought in slight shock as she looked up. It was then that she finally realized that it wasn't just her, Che, Sebastian, Will, and Keres in the room anymore. Everyone that had been in Rome with them two months ago was also there...

Che admired the team that was Will and Annie, especially if it meant that Will could find whoever he wanted at anytime and teleport them to wherever he wanted to. Only for a moment did it scare him, but his past with the Satan Owl reassured him that unless it was due to business, Will wouldn't harm anyone. Then again, he was Satan's incarnate, so screwing with people may have been the blonde man's kick. Surely, Che had felt this one time too many.
People began to flood the room, popping in while still in motion. Aeon and Cecilia, Roulin and Lucien, Bailey and Erin, Luca and Anderson...Jeannie was there and Amara soon followed with Vincent. They were back. All of them were back and once again, Che had his fighting force back. Looking past them all, he could see Kate's pink hair waving as she looked around the room in confusion. If the man could feel his legs, he may have taken a step to her and assisted her to her feet. Instead of doing that though, he grinned, sat on the couch and turned his eyes to the ceiling. Sebastian, Will and Keres for whatever reason would receive a nice thank you later. For now, the fatigued Italian figured this was the best time to try to sneak off to sleep. Within seconds, the Mastering Owl was laying on the couch once again, stretched out comfortably....sleep.
~~~
Roulin didn't make a move when he was teleported into the office of Hell....or Las Vegas as it was known to be called. Looking around in annoyance, he sighed, expressing his dissatisfaction at the whole ordeal. This was not where he wanted to be. It wasn't where he was meant to be anymore. Around these...people. His only motion was a fold of his arms. He did take a peak at Cecilia when he motorcycle roared into existence along with her. Seeing the blue girl's frame above a two wheeled piece of metal did intrigue him, but just the sight of her alone made him want to vanish. Not because he no longer cared for her, but for the complete opposite. He didn't want to see her right now.....he wasn't strong enough to see any of them yet. Not looking over to Lucien, he replied to the new Death Owl swiftly.
"Yeah. I just hope this place isn't made into swiss cheese like Che's place was...and no. I have not been approached by either Phantom or his daring sidekick Radiant. Why? I'm assuming you have?" The Life Owl's curiosity was piqued after Lucien brought up the two superhero-esque Owls. Wearing masks was something Roulin may have found cool as a kid......his grin that he wore didn't fool anyone. He still did find them to be in good taste now with the world like how it is. Bailey had been reunited with Luca and that managed to turn a smile onto the contorted features of secluded man. Erin and Elle were in the same room again...Roulin made sure not to travel far for her sake. Turing away from the jamboree of people who were just popping into the area, Roulin spoke up to Lucien. "Heh. I'm not needed here. I'm going outside. If you want to continue this talk, then you'll have to follow me...if you want to stay and chat, do so, but at a brisk pace." With that said, the somewhat lethargic Owl started his walk away from the office keeping Cecilia in mind. If he was fortunate enough, Cecilia wouldn't have seen him entering or exiting. Roulin was positive he didn't need a lecture at this moment.
~~~
Moli's attention was pulled away from the conversation between Roulin and Lucien when only in a moment's notice, he was ported into the office of the Satan Owl. Oh gee...thought the Pre-Herald. He wasn't fond of the area, nor was he too fond of Will himself. Even with the stories of him from his dad backing up reasons as to why he should be thanking him, Moli still saw no reason to care about the devilman at all. During the movement, his hair had suffered and was now like his father's old hair style. A blonde, spherical afro. It didn't look as strange as it sounded, but the color definitely made the accidental style stand out.
Then, there was Aeon calling out his name which cause him to turn on a dime. In that moment, the blue eyed man pinpointed the girl's location and everyone else in the room seemed to disappear into a fizzy, smoky nothingness. As a smirk crept over his lips, Moli began to walk towards the girl. But what seemed like just a walk to him resembled a flash of light to everyone else. In no time at all, he stood before his girlfriend, his fingers slipping through her hair. He took notice of the child she was holding and with an expression questioned her. When would she tell Lucien about this? Moli simply wanted to be around when it occurred just to hear the reaction the man would give. Casting the thought to the side for now, the Italian hugged the little projector and said, "Girl, have I missed you....are you alright? I see you've been keeping well since Rome? And this little guy.....this little guy here....what's his name?"

After getting over most of the initial confusion of having been teleported, yet again, Kate slowly got to her feet. She might as well stand up instead of sit down on the floor now that there were other people around. It was a good thing that Keres was almost done with braiding her hair because if she hadn't been, Kate's standing up would have ruined the hair style. Fortunately, the girl had managed to find something to tie the braid at the end to make it stay in place. Once standing, the Eternity Owl figured she might as well make sure Che was still here and hadn't accidentally left her behind or anything. Though, Kate knew that both she and Che were perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.
After getting to her feet, Kate's icy blue eyes scanned the room and the familiar faces that were around her. She had been teleported to the opposite corner of the room nearest to Will's desk and onto the floor. She could see past Cecilia, her motorcycle, and Jeannie towards where Will, Sebastian, and Che were. Well, at least that was where Che had been standing before. Now he had collapsed back onto the couch behind him, and was seemingly asleep. Kate rolled sighed in mild irritation. She knew that Che hadn't really slept very much since this whole fighting Heralds and the Fallen Pheonix business had started. But now of all times to fall asleep on his feet? Really. Kate had thought Che had better stamina than that.
Kate made her way around Cecilia's motorcycle, making her way over to the couch were Che was sleeping. Once there, Kate frowned slightly with a light sigh of annoyance. She might as well wake Che up before his mentor the Satan Owl decided to try a more... forceful way of waking his student from his attempt at a brief slumber.
This thought in mind, Kate acted quickly. She pinched the Mastering Owl's nose shut with her fingers before lightly slapping Che on the cheeks with her free hand. "Rise and shine, Che Presidiomini." Kate stated, both loudly and bluntly, to get Che's attention.

Cecilia didn't go without noticing the fact that Roulin hadn't even said a word to her before he left. In fact, he hadn't spoken a word to anyone, besides Lucien. This irked the Cosmic Owl a bit, but not enough to make her angry. If possible, she would speak to him later. Whether it was to lecture him, or just to ask how he was doing, she hadn't decided yet. The long tresses of raven hair atop his head did almost suit him, but part of her missed that dark unkempt dandelion hair he used to have. Turning away from Roulin, she glanced at Anderson who teased her something fierce about whether or not she was a mother. The Azure Owl rolled her eyes and turned to him. "Oh sure Anderson, I got pregnant and had a baby in two months time," she said sarcastically rolling her eyes as she approached Roulin's cousin and punched him lightly on the upper right arm. Still, even though he did often annoy her at times with his teasing, she enjoyed the fact that he was rather laid back.
Che had fallen asleep, looking quite lazily comfortable. She was half tempted to throw a bucket of ice on him. She was sure she could get her hands on one, but alas...Kate already had the matter into her own hands. Cecilia turned away from them and towards...Amara and Vincent? When had they gotten here? It didn't matter. At least they were alive and well, if a little ragged as if they had been running quite a bit. The Sapphire Owl stepped away from Anderson and towards Moli and Aeon, but didn't really approach them. She didn't want to ruin their happy reunion. Aiden was in Aeon's arms looking around the room at all the adults with great curiosity. Lucien hadn't even glanced in the child's direction. Then again, Cecilia remembered that Amara had never even told Lucien that she was pregnant to begin with, let alone had already had the child, who had only been a few feet away from him.

Annie had smiled at Che and nodded before being ushered pushed out of the office by Will's servants. "No problem! Good luck! You, Seb, and Uncle Will should come over for karoake some time!" And then bam, she was out the door. The door closed rather quickly. Some time later, a cheerful Annabelle Balderon would check her camera and then make a fuss about how the camera had malfunctioned and lament about how the pictures and videos were lost.
The sounds of a reunion filled the room as people began chatting, jumping, and hugging, and so on. The devil nodded to Lucien's statement and simply smirked. "And you. You have work to do. You and your counterpart there need to sit still for a moment." Whether Will knew that Lucien had killed Amaya and certain Owls didn't really concern Satan. Itachi, if he ever found out how Amaya died, could take it up with Lucien. To Jeannie, he simply responded, "Drink as much as you'd like. There's plenty to go around." He heard Roulin as well and saw the Life Owl try to sneak out. A lasso of black lightning immediately formed around Roulin and dragged Che's younger son back into the room. "Roulin, get your snarky a** back in here. Blueberry girl, your BF is chickening out again." While Will knew that Roulin's situation had changed a bit with Cecilia, the devil didn't care at all. Roulin was going to listen to what Che had to say inside the room. "Keres, Sebastian, no one leaves the room unless I say so. Got it?" If anyone wanted to try to leave the room (via the windows, door, or anywhere), they'd be met with some ridiculously strong "demons". As for Roulin's concern on the area being turned into swiss cheese as Che's place had, it wasn't something really of concern. To attack Las Vegas was as good as death for attackers, especially in a place where a certain someone had absolute control.
There was a sudden crash as one of the windows shattered, and Vincent and Amara entered the room. The window reformed behind them and sealed. The devil nodded again. "Good of you to join us, Amara, Vincent. Just on time." As he said this, Sebastian had and other servants, which might also include Tai, returned with enough food and nonalcoholic drinks for everyone in the room. "Do enjoy some refreshments. Your bank accounts and cell phones should be restored as well."
Clearly, Che had gotten the triangle because he was musically challenged. Will was a god on the piano..and probably any instrument because he was and still is a music virtuoso...thus his past name "Maestro." When Che sang his lines, Will heard every single word loud and clear. In the Satan Owl's mind was Yeah, Che. I'll kill you if you f**king fall asleep on me. Of course....what did Che do as Will teleported everyone? Fall asleep.
While Will was greeting the newcomers, Kate had attempted to wake Che up....with a few smacks and a nice nose pinch. When the devil turned back to them, Che hadn't awakened yet. "Tsk tsk tsk. Kate, if you want to wake this kid up, you've got to do more than that." With an all too devilish smile and aura, the devil picked up the drink that was Tai's special, a super spicy sweet caffeinated (and other stuff) concoction that was sure to make Che breathe fire and be the most awake he'd ever be. "Ah, listen to Katherine, Cheani~ Open up nice and wide~" Kabam! The devil forced Che's mouth open and dumped a nice chunk of the drink into the Mastering Owl's mouth. "Rise and shine like your princess commands, Che. You little f**k. Don't you fall asleep you a*****e. It's not polite to keep people waiting. No wonder your sons leave you." Nope. Will didn't give a damn what people would think of him upon hearing him do this. It was Will after all.

"Something like that." Lucien said in response to Roulin, that is before the Owl suddenly up and left. Lucien raised an eyebrow it wasn't like Roulin to just disappear like this, there was probably something deeper to that problem but Lucien would let him sort it out himself. That was until the Satan owl made his proclomation that Roulin needed to get his a** back in the room. "Ah Will glad to see you're still sharp given your old age." He looked over as a window suddenly burst open, the shards of glass stopped midway to the ground, Lucien controlling them with his glass manipulation. But once the two people who had broken through were in the room the window reformed, only Lucien hadn't done it. "That's quite the trick." He said with a small smirk. Looking up he could see that their two guests were Amara and Vincent. He looked slightly away, he didn't know what to say to her, what was there to say? Sorry I disappeared for a few months, how have you been? The two of them had been distant at best recently, he wasn't entirely sure why there was no tragic event, no fight, no shouting match that lead to one of them storming away so why?
Anderson laughed a little but folded his arms. "Cecilia we're in a room with people that can fly, shoot lightning, negate gravity and call themselves Life, Death, and Satan, having a baby in two months isn't such a stretch is it?" He asked with a smile. As he looked around the room he could see some people pairing off, soem were happy to be reunited with people they had missed, Anderson took his seat at the table, looking slightly up he couldn't help but smile, there was something about today that seemed different. "Oh! Cecilia, nice job on your new Herald Title!" He said with a series of claps, tiny silver sparks flew from his hands in a mini celebration for her, just another attempt to raise the mood a bit, some people like Roulin seemed to be mopping a bit. He raised his head a bit when Will said that their bank accounts should have been restored. "How did you managed to secure our accounts? Didn't most of our old banks shut down our accounts, or blow up?"

Roulin couldn't help but scold himself when Will dragged him back into the office. This was Las Vegas, the city of Sin...therefore Will had a pretty large bonus of power on his side. Even if he didn't want to fight, Will had a nice army of people to call. Sebastian and Keres, Roulin simply assumed, were just two others in the army he knew Will commanded. As the electricity lifted him, not harming him thankfully, the Life Owl rolled his eyes and groaned. Looking down to Lucien from the air now, he simply nodded. "Yeah....I don't think I'll be leaving until this is done....we'll just talk later I suppose." Finally, the young man was sat down in an area that he could see and hear Che loud and clear....that is whenever Che decided to get up and speak. As Kate attempted to wake him, Roulin simply shrugged. She'd need more than just that to get him to move.
~~~
The tired, somewhat worried Owl lay upon Will's couch sleeping as if the world was no longer a concern. Even his drowsy yet content expression denoted that his mind was clearly elsewhere and much to the devil's chagrin, it was not on saving the planet from a new world order of Owls. Sleeping still, even with the crowd of people speaking to one another, Cheani didn't not budge unless it was to place a hand beneath his head. From experience, the bum knew that no couch had comfortable armrests. Then again, he was versed enough in couches to know that armrests weren't for heads...
Kate approached Che with intent to wake him. The Mastering Owl was still very well sleep, so her advancement went both unnoticed and unimpeded. When she clamped his nose shut and began tapping his face to wake him, the man snorted once and loudly and lightly swatted away Kate's hand. Drunkenly, his eyes opened once and he viewed her standing above him, patting his cheek. Seeing her, as well as seeing everyone else safe and sound brought a slothful smile to the Italian's face. Partly thinking this were still a dream, Che muttered in a low, almost incoherent tone, "You look nice when you're not screaming Kate...now make me a sandwich please...." Nodding to Kate that he'd wake up soon, the laying Owl took Kate's hand, kissed it, then waved her off. In just those motions, he hoped she'd understand that soon, he'd be up and ready to conduct business again.
It wasn't long before William DeScythe happened. The man was an uncontrollable string of events in himself and Che, still resting, had the disdain of being caught in one of them. Once it began, there was nothing the younger Owl could do to defend himself. He was at half-strength and half-mind, therefore he was at the devil's mercy. When the spicy coffee was poured down Che's throat, the frizzy haired sleeper first coughed uncontrollably, then sat up and coughed more. Whether it was from the coffee going down his windpipe or just from it being extremely spicy was something anyone could've argued. Either way, Che was now awake and his eyes were tinged a light red now. They watered and ran like faucets and with these rubicund and violet eyes, Che looked over to Will shooting beams of pure malice and anger at the Satan Owl. Rising to his feet, breezing past Kate, Che took the man's collar in his hands and shook him with what little energy his frazzled yet tired body could muster.
"You!" exclaimed Che in a raspy shout. "You! Can I get a break!? Can you let me sleep!? I've been up for two days trying to figure out how to keep everyone here alive! Can I just get--------" Either all that anger and brought on an aneurysm, or the screaming little man had an epiphany. From the outside, that's what it seemed to be, but inside....on the literal inside of the Italian, the coffee was taking effect. When Che felt the caffeine course through him, he released Will's collar and remained frozen in his position. His pupils widened to the size of quarters....and his trademark scowl had broken leaving a wide, almost un-Che like grin in it's place. "Whoa....whoa....Will? Whoooaaa..." Never had Che drank a batch of coffee so potent and fortunately for him, there still some left. After staring at Will for a moment, Che looked over to Kate giving her the opportunity to look into his abnormally widened pupils. After coughing one last time, this time breathing out a waft of dark red flames, Che spoke to Will in an even raspier voice, "I think...I--I think I'm...I think I'm ready to do this....yeah, I think I am."

Nik sighed as he felt the familiar disorientation of teleportation. He had just been teleported by the Satan owl, in all his useless glory, to a fancy office, which probably belonged to said owl. Nik frowned and brought his shadowy hands back into his shadow, not having anything to do. "Well I suppose this couldn't have waited until after I had turned the oven off could it." Nik said with a frown as he sat down in one of the chairs, thoroughly unamused by the fact that he had just been teleported away from finishing lunch, on top of the fact that he had left the oven on and was probably going to have to pay for a burned down cabin. He really didn't care what the Satan Owl had to say, he just wanted him to get to the point. Nik was all for a little banter, but the Satan Owls bantering amounted to nothing more than swearing and making fun of others in thoroughly unfunny ways. Nik was surprised that eh couldn't be just a little more creative with his speech. When Che finally seemed to get ready, Nik sat up straight and said, "Finally we're getting to the point."

Cecilia's azure cheeks were tinted a light pink as Anderson made a show of clapping over her new title. Her jade eyes narrowed at him as she gave him a look that basically said Shut up or I'll toss your a** out of a window. It was embarrassing enough as it is, watching him beside her with those silver sparking hands like tiny fireworks. Yes, she was a Herald, but she hadn't exactly celebrated her new rank and probably never would. The Azure Owl looked up to see that Roulin had failed in his little mission to leave the room for ol' Beelzebub had lassoed him back like a wild bull, or a pig that had escaped its herd.
Yet the one thing that had made Cecilia actually smile genuinely and even laugh was the fact that Che had been woken up by means of perhaps one of his most favorite things in the world if not his most favorite: coffee. But from the way he behaved, this must've been some super-powered coffee. The way he sprung up reminded the Sapphire Owl of Popeye the Sailor Man. At least Kate was much more attractive than Olive Oil and there was no Bluto to try and steal her away.
Seeing that everyone was quiet...for the most part, Cecilia decided to sit down. She walked back over to her motorcycle making a mental note to move it after this meeting was over, using it as a prop as she leaned against it looking quite natural and at home. She heard Will mention the fact that their cell phones and bank accounts were fully working again and dug her own cell phone from the pocket of her leather jacket to check. Sure enough, everything on it appeared to be in working order again. Of course she'd have to remember to buy a new charger for the battery was just about dead. Bailey hadn't meant to knock Luca on the ground and blushed furiously when it happened, especially because of the fact that it had happened in a room full of people. Yet, she didn't want to let go of him just yet....Just a few more moments....She then stood up and brushed herself off before helping him up as well. "Sorry," she said, her cheeks pink with a small embarrassment. Roulin had tried to leave, but he was held back by Will who did present a pretty good point. They should all be present to hear what needed to be said before they all went off on their own. Che, however, seemed to be having one of his sloth-like moments as he was asleep, but that didn't last for long. Will and Kate worked together to wake him up and the result was quite amusing in Bailey's opinion. Still, she reminded herself not to ever touch that coffee. The Diclonious Owl then fell silent as she waited for what needed to be said.

When Che woke up a little bit and took her hand, asking her to make him a sandwich, Kate's frown deepened in her growing annoyance. He was a grown man! Why couldn't he make his own damn sandwich! She knew Che was probably half-asleep and dreaming, but she was still irritated with his request. Putting the hand that had pinched Che's nose shut to her forehead as the Mastering Owl kissed her hand before waving her off. The Eternity Owl was about to pull on Che's ear or something painful to get him to wake up completely. But she was not given the chance because William Descythe stepped in. "H-Hey! What are you--!?" Kate's eyes widened as she watched Will force open Che's mouth and pour the coffee down his throat. There wasn't really much she could do within the seconds that this occurred. "William DeScythe! What have you done!?" Kate shouted incredulously upon seeing Che's reaction to the effects of the coffee. She had seen Che hyper off of caffeine many times before, but never had it been this intense.

Anya had been quietly sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for Nik to finish making lunch. She was in good spirits considering that she had finally told him what was going on in her head and that he didn't she was crazy. It was also a plus that the whisperings and singings in her head had stopped for the time being. So it wasn't a stretch to say that Anya was in a good mood. She had put her headphones on since Nikolai wasn't really talking to her and was concentrating on making the food. She had leaned back in her chair listening to her music, when a feeling of being pulled out of the room washed over her. It was like a sinking feeling in her stomach dispersed throughout her body. Anya blinked rapidly as her vision went completely fuzzy, but that didn't seem to help at all.
Instead, she soon found herself actually falling to the floor, as the chair she had been sitting in earlier was no longer underneath her. "Ow!" Anya cried out as she hit the floor on her backside. Wincing in discomfort, Anya forced herself to her feet. When she looked around her, Anya noticed that everything was completely different. She recognized the office of William DeScythe though. 'You've got to be ******** kidding me!' the Poison Owl thought to herself as her assumption was proven right for the worst when she saw Will in the room. Of course, she was completely fine with all the other people in the room except for the Satan Owl.
Thankfully, Nik seemed to have been teleported here as well, so Anya walked over to where the Russian Dancing Owl was now seated. For the moment, Anya couldn't really find anything to say. Though it was more because she had nothing to say. In the past two months, Anya had changed in other respects along with her new status as the Herald of Earth. But she was seething on the inside regardless of how calm she appeared on the outside. The calmness was mostly due to some of the energy that the earth itself had sent her way as a preparation for the sudden change in location. Her eyes narrowed as Che finally woke up due to some hot and spicy coffee being forced down his throat by Will. Finally. At least now they were going to get an explanation.

French Vanilla, Mocha, Espresso....there was no other flavor of coffee that rivaled the potency of the blend that was forced down Che's throat. Even now, he was still coughing, wheezing and speaking in a voice that echoed like two rusted sheets of metal rubbing against each other. Ironically, the longer he spoke, the clearer his tone became. Even when the effect of the spicy blend of coffee had vanished completely, his words still flowed out in somewhat of a hysterical blur. To Che, his diction was perfect although a bit shaky here and there. His motions as well were rather calm, but jerky. To everyone else though, Che's movements seemed frantic, faster and almost incomprehensible. His new found hyperactivity coupled with the speed boosting ability he kept with him at all times amounted to this. A Che unlike any other...
"Heyheyheyheyhey..hey.....hey......hey........Kate...." said Che when she started protest against what Will had done. Once again, his walking speed to him was just the right pace, but to Will, Kate and anyone else watching, he seemed to teleport over to the pink-haired woman. Before speaking to her, directly, he first noticed the project that Keres had started on. Some braids...neat....at least Kate had the hair to do this with. What was a dejected frown soon became a beaming grin again thanks to Che's obviously affected mental state right now. Turning his attention to the bewildered Eternity Owl, Che began to speak at the blinding pace he had been for the past few moments again. Before hopping to the defense of the blonde devil, Che held a palm up to Kate and remained fixed in the gesture for a good moment. When he gathered himself and his frantic thoughts, he began to speak. "Kate...dearest....you--you...don't worry about what Will did, kay? Now you..." In a flash, the woman was lifted from her feet by Che who'd hoisted her upwards. His hands were beneath her arms, so she was being held much like a child until Che lowered her onto the sofa. "Alright, you--you sit there. Don't speak because I'm about to speak alright? Just shhhh...just shhh for a minute. And you Will..." said Che as he rotated to view his mentor, "You do the same....you-you...you just sit and shh too. I'm gonna speak now..."
"Hey you guys!? Hey you guys!?" If it hadn't gotten strange yet, then it was about to be. Whether or not Che knew it, his words were still spoken at such a speed, they seemed to blur and flow out in something of a verbal mush. He was more coherent know that he was thinking, but still, only through careful listening could one catch what he was saying. Being the loudest in the room now, Che began to flail to get everyone's attention. When he thought he had it, he flailed for seconds more, coughed, then began to speak with more subdued flails. "Alright you guys...alright. Alright. You guys...we need to think here, alright? Raven is all over the East Coast....like literally everywhere alright guys? Alright guys. She's everywhere...and we need to stop her...alright? As you--as you, as in you all--as you all know, she the Oracle. Hence Timothy being around her at all---at all times yes? Alright guys? We...we-we-we...we need to stop her fast. Plan is...we wait til she has her vision, Oracle thing. And then we...and then we follow her to where my...my F***ING deck is...and then we kill her...sound good? Ideas guys? Secondary plans?"

Demios had just finished teleporting Serilda and gotten to Genya to take care of him when the room around them changed. He then noticed Genya was falling "Genya!" he said as he caught the young owl before he collided with the floor. "Whew, I was worried you might have hurt yourself worse" He said. He looked down for a moment "...I shouldn't have let you get hurt in the first place, how are you feeling?" he said. It was only then that he noticed everyone else he blinked for a minute, he had spent so long wondering if they were dead he wasn't sure if this were real or just an illusion. "Genya....where are we?" He said after a moment. He then turned to Che after he spoke wondering if he was off his meds or something "What the hell is wrong with him" He said to no one in particular. He did however hear about Che's deck and cringed he remembered how Moli had been in it once and how he came close, it was not a happy memory.

Aeon smiled at Moli. "Of course I'm alright, though it would have been nice to get some kind of call or signal from your a**" she said. She decided not to tell him about her detox, because she didn't want him to worry.When he asked about Aiden she was kind of nervous but she was surprised Lucien didn't know...with all of his abilities that is, you would have thought..."Oh this is Aiden" she said as Aiden yawned and grabbed a hold of Moli's finger clutching it as hard as babies do. When Che began to speak, she looked at the kid and back to the others. She wouldn't be able to fight with them. Too many personal things were going on with her to fight plus who would keep an eye on the child. Perhaps she could stay at Will's, he had plenty of servants so the help wouldn't be too bad. She just didn't trust anyone alone with the child.
Amara looked over to Lucien but he wasn't speaking. Her eyes narrowed and focused on Che. Her darker demeanor spoke for itself as she took a seat in a chair and listened to what was being said. "Che you really are getting sloppy in old age. We just wait? That sounds as farfetched as anything I've ever heard. My input is this, capture the b***h. She makes freaking shockwaves not emit instant death. We should have a defensive team, an offensive team to take on Thomas and any other herald who may want to kill us...I suggest we send our newest heralds to fight them. The rest of us try and capture the b***h. We have one, two,three,four psychics and two others who can use mental abilities, we can push for her have the vision collectively. It may take time but it's better than hoping she will have a vision. Waiting naturally we may be waiting for the next 6 months" she simply said.
Elle listened to Che and then that b***h Amara. Clearing her throat she began to speak. "As adamantly you may feel about your plan, let's look at this from another view point Amara" she said in a calm demeanor. "It would make sense honestly to find the weakest point of New Exhire...take it back, it will gain her attention and will stop the spread I would think because we would have taken something that belongs to her. Secondly their defense...everything isn't OWL based defense, things like computers, force field generators, etc we need to take out. These are just a few things I have thought off for the last two months" she said to them.
