Sharon Kelly: Past & Present

Status
Not open for further replies.
Bishop had now arrived outside the restaurant. He checked his pant leg to make sure his wound had not reopened and left a telltale stain. He inconspicuously looked in the window. He spotted (if barely) Delilah way at the back and smiled a little. Then he caught himself. It had been a long time since he smiled for any other reason than a job well done.

But then he just made out the back of a head sitting across from Delilah - she wasn't alone. Why would she have asked to meet him if it wasn't going to only be the two of them? He wasn't sure if he was upset about that - he didn't like surprises. She should have told him someone else would be there and why.

Then he stopped himself - maybe she had run into someone she knew once she had arrived. Maybe it wasn't planned. Some people did have friends, even if he didn't have time for them himself.

Deciding that this wasn't a trap or frame-up, he opened the door and entered.
 
:: Sitting alongside Morgan, Alycia, Nicolas, and Alison, there was nothing to do but wait. As everyone conversed, Ava just sat quietly, listening to everyone. Nicolas explained about the Gryfalcons then soon covered their heads with hoods. Looking at the birds, Ava smirked to herself sensing the mischeif the two creatures had within them. They could easily cause a riot, hooded or not. But she also senses their anxiety, mainly for their careholder, Sharon. Their link with Sharon was strong, and Ava's link with animals made her very aware of how Sharon was feeling at the moment. ::

:: Looking over at Sharon, even as she slumbered her face showed signs of tension. Whoever attacked her was on their game. Whether it they had powers or not, they were a threat if they managed to attack Sharon with such ease. Looking to Morgan as she stated all they could do was wait, Ava subconsciously nodded before leaning her head back against the chair she was sitting in. She hated waiting games...but that's all this was -- a giant waiting game. ::
 
Nicolas saw Ava admire the birds, her rapport no doubt giving her a unique insight. He smiled and spoke to her.

Tell Onyx that I haven't forgotten my promise of a treat. I have wanted to see her more often but it would be...rude to look in on her without permission. I actually miss her.

He turns to Morgan.

What is the game plan once she awakens? Do we proceed?
 
"Sounds like a show I'd watch."

Haleigh joked, as the waitress came over and offered to take their order. Haleigh asked for iced tea but said she wasn't very hungry, and after Delilah ordered and the waitress left, she leaned in and dropped her voice to answer Delilah's last question.

"Well, here's the thing.... it could be ANYBODY. There's a REASON we bother will all the cloak and dagger shit. Now that's Sharon's gone and gotten herself on CNN.... she's opened herself to public knowledge. Maybe this hit wasn't on SHARON herself, but the Silver Swan. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the GOVERNMENT at this point. with her running around all willy nilly, attacking men-- INCLUDING A COP-- in plain view, people are going to start taking sides. What if she accidentally KILLS some poor schmuck? then she becomes a BIG target, and suddenly she's the catalyst for the movement against the [using air quotes]mutant menace. Now I don't mean any offense to you or your department, or all the decent men and women out there serving their country or working for the federal government. But I'm ALL TOO AWARE of the lengths that the politicians and the administration is willing to go to in order to remain in total control. WHERE do you think Mystech gets a majority of its funding for all this unethical underground testing? It's not by mere chance that Mystech stayed as strong as they were for as long as they were. They had what amounted to diplomatic immunity. they've been getting CAUGHT and getting BY with all kinds of shit for YEARS. FBI, CIA, or maybe even a regular cop would stumble on the truth... but the evidence would always disappear, and the witnesses were either paid off or killed. The ONLY reason Mystech fell was because they got caught ON CAMERA killing a non-mutant.... and we made sure that it went public before the men in black could clean it up. The humans are AFRAID of us.... even the ones who don't ostracize mutants... they don't want to admit it, but they fear what we might be capable of and they fear being unable to protect themselves from us. Not without reason... they CAN'T protect themselves from people like us. And the people running the show are the most scared of all.... and if one SINGLE mutant gets caught killing a human..... that's all the ammunition they need. They'll do WHATEVER it takes."

Haleigh heard the door chimes clink together and looked in the reflection of the picture frame behind Delilah.... he was here.

"Looks like your man has arrived. Any final advice for dealing with him?"
 
time to talk

<< Delilah finds herself taking the first steps toward a slippery slope....not realizing that her first mistake was allowing Bishop into Illustra in the first place. Haleigh's own remarks kept Morgan from chiding Delilah on what Alison harshly labled as a "Security Breach"...and as yet, no one readily linked Connor to "Bishop" OR "Bishop" to the hit on Silver Swan.>>

<< if there was any time for second thoughts...of letting these two sides of her life collide, it was TOO LATE NOW as Connor arrived at the restaurant and he saw her just as she and Haleigh registered his presence.>>

<< if he wasnt carefull, he could give himself awa. his wound from the Silver Swan was still fresh in feeling and even the lingering sound of her sonic scream could replay in his head again. He had managed to wound her, but he had clearly underestimated her power...and this was a woman who was not a "seasoned veteran" like her allies in the Six.>>


<< now came time for a meeting of the minds.>>

Back at Illustra

<< several people who, if exposed, would clearly fit the bill of "mutant menace" sat in the war room medical lab with a resting Silver Swan. A goddess, a mutant and witches : the represented a wide range of powers, abilities and backgrounds...each had a history that was unique and each had done MUCH to help keep this world safe...but if Alison's vision was to come to pass...NONE of thier good deeds would matter. the fact that they were all essentially human would not matter. Even their strong NON powered allies, namely Alycia Barnett and Nicolas' close friend and partner, Mike were in danger from the looming fog of doom that Alison predicted.>>

<< Delilah and Haleigh's meeting could go any number of ways...but it was leading them a step closer to their eventual encounter with this man who had just tried to kill Sharon Kelly...and we can only GUESS how THAT will turn out.>>

<< but at the moment, SOME of the waiting would be over as Sharon began to stir...groaning with discomfort and stiffness as she opened her now silver eyes. Morgan and Alycia were the first to greet her waking as Alycia checked her vitals and Morgan advised her to remain calm and not to move...that she was safe.>>
 
wake up!!!!

Per Alycia's suggestion, Nicolas gave Mike a set of instructions, namely find something safe and outside the city for Sharon and take point on her protection, combining it with his cover of Karen Victoria.

After ending his investigation and authorizing a cleanup/salvage of the brownstone (with the cooperation of Alycia's assistant, yet another contact made) Mike quickly located a cottage in the country outside of the city proper with a similar floorplan and set in motion the purchase of it. It had no large foliage cover save for two large trees. It would be harder for an assailant to sneak up on them here. He next began the process of making it safer, by ordering infrared cameras for installation. The knowledge of a non-powered opponent made this choice for him, as it was much harder to hide a heat signature.

He reported back to Nicolas about what was in motion mentally, knowing the telepath would hear him. He had one question.

Should I ask Karen to join me there? Or are you going to handle that situation?

**********************************************

Meanwhile, Nicolas awaited a response from Morgan on exactly how to proceed. Once again there were two situations to handle at once, and he was unsure of what Morgan was thinking. he nodded as Mike reported to him, and shot back an answer to the question.

Work on the place, I will get back to you on that momentarily.

Alycia, Mike's located a cottage outside the city. He has offered to invite Karen to accompany him there. He is awaiting further instruction.

The blueprints and location are shown on his laptop's computer screen. Even Nicolas was impressed with Mike's speed on this. He always seemed to know when to move more quickly.

Suddenly, Sharon began to stir, he stood quickly, knowing that the birds would care nothing of their hoods in circumstances like this. He still left them on, however, and turned to face Sharon as she came to...
 
<< Morgan was distracted for a moment as she looked at herself in the compact...>>

is that... a LINE that i see!?!



<< her icy violet eyes widened with dismay for a moment before Nicolas' voice finally got her attention...finally snapping back into focus, she closed her compact and put it away. Nicolas informed Alycia of the progress and Morgan added in....>>

.....I'll contact my mother soon enough after this meeting here. I'd like to ASK her instead of just drafting her...she does have her own life, and patients to look after as a doctor.


Make sure that there are plenty of birds in that area for Sharon...in case she needs them to help her...to help MIKE as well if someone does manage to attack again. having the power to control animals....i never realized how HELPFULL it could be, and yet, Ava has made it look so easy for so long.

<< she wondered how Ava felt, knowing that Sharon now held sway over all species of birds and that it seemed to supercede her OWN control. Ava still had a rapport with them which allowed her to actually reach SHARON through the same path. a unique circumstance that would allow them to communicate even more easily than Nicolas could with Sharon.>>

<< at that moment, Sharon began to stir, and Morgan looked, immediately standing up. as did Alycia and Nicolas.>>

It's allright now....you're safe. so dont move too fast.

<< Morgan gently stroked Sharon's hair as she opened her silver eyes...they were a little watery, but clear. with no signs of strain.>>

Alycia: all vitals are strong now. regular heart beat, no elevated levels of stress or anxiety either.
 
awake again

[ the darkness slowly melts away. this time it seems RIGHT though...but with consciousness and awareness comes MEMORY....]

....the man!!!

[ she's about to bolt upright, but Morgan softly reassures her that its allright. she sees Morgan, Alycia, then Nicolas. Alison and Ava are further back, sitting and her babies....they are okay too!]

Artemis...Antiope...

[ she looks over softly.]

please.. let them see me.

[ she asks for their hoods to be removed. as she holds out her armoured hand. ]

come to mommy...

[ she calls in a soft, melodic voice that appeals to the birds as they make their own little vocalizations and flutter over to their "mother". they perch on her armour covered arm as she slowly sits up, while Morgan adjusts her bed accordingly. she takes a moment to comfort her birds , singing softly to them...and Sharon's voice is haunting yet melodic, probably a by product of her sonic powers. she gently pets their little heads. after a few moments, the birds are quite content now.]

thank you for saving my babies...

[ she looks at Morgan, Alycia and Nicolas.]

I knew you'd come for us....to help...

[ she catches sight of her own reflection in a mirror across the room and pauses.]

a man....trying to kill me. one of them...

[ that was a step in the righ direction. she indicated it was a MAN that attacked her.]
 
Illustra- war room

:: Alycia stood on the otherside of the bed as Sharon began to gain more awareness. she asked for her birds to be uncovered and Alycia watched as they responded immediately to their "mother". it was a sweet but curious thing. How mystech could have manipulated Sharon's body, her genetic structure to such an extent to give her powers like this.::

i wonder what it would have been like...if it had been ME?

:: her mind wandered for a moment as she pondered the idea of HERSELF being a "super"....what kind of powers would she have? but then she remembered very quickly at what price Sharon gained these powers and she would NEVER have wanted that for her friend OR herself.[/i]

:: Sharon interacted with her birds. Alycia h ad seen Morgan exhibit the same maternal behavior towards Tinkerbell. it was a sweet thing to watch and it helped to bring more "humanity" to the face of the "Silver Swan". Nicolas made a sound move in giving these to her. and she was relieved that they'd gotten there in time to save them all.::

Sharon....may i?

::nodding toward the birds...she wanted to touch them. She wanted to show Sharon that no matter how she'd changed, she'd always be there for her.::

Sharon: yes..you may! just move slowly.

:: Alycia smiled as she slowly reached for one of the birds, Artemis, and gently touched its head...petting it.::

Hi! you're very pretty pretty!

:: the bird closed its eyes a bit as Alycia stroked her, and made soft noise. Alycia was relieved that the bird didnt attack her. she'd seen the alfred hitchcock films...hell they'd all LIVED through their own version of "the birds" not too long ago. and so despite her curiosity...there was a bit of trepidation there too.::

it seems that most members of the six, and theire allies, have pets. i wish i had the time for a pet...but I wouldnt be there enough to take care of it. even a potted plant wouldnt be too certain in my apartment.

:: laughing a bit as she spoke, without even thinking about it, she was relating to Sharon as she had always done...just "one of the girls". as Sharon expressed gratitude for their coming to her and her birds' aid, she nodded and smiled ....::

we'll always be there when you need us. we were coming to check on you anyway.

:: looking at Morgan. Sharon indicated that it was a MAN who attacked her.::

a man? do you remember what he looked like? were there any markings on his clothing?

:: she said "one of them". alycia wasnt QUITE sure what that meant yet.::

was their more than one?

As Sharon begins to stir, she beckons for her raptors. Nicolas allows the hoods to falls away telekinetically so that they would have a clear path to her. As she comforts them, he listens to the haunting lilt of her voice. He could almost see, it seems, the POWER behind that voice.

As she spoke of who attacked her, she confirmed a SINGLE ASSAILANT and a MALE. he relayed the message to Mike as it would help him narrow things; an amazing percentage of highly skilled assassins were in fact WOMEN. Nicolas spoke to her as he stepped a bit closer.

Is there anything else you remember Sharon? We WILL find whoever did this, and we WILL keep you more safe in the future.



The information only served to generate a new flash of anger for Nicolas. he had to remind himself to remain calm, that there was still much left to say...and DO.
 
the war room

[ she could still feel a lingering pain in the back of her neck....that weapon...she remembered it well.]

he blew up my house. hurt my babies. moved so fast...he avoided my spinning stars and my wings.

[ she paused for a moment]

he wore black..and he had...black eyes. He looked at me....like i was GARBAGE. he wanted to kill me. he had such an unforgiving face....

but ....something about him...when he was close...it seemed familiar.

[almost like she had been in close proximity to him before....but she wasnt sure if it was just de ja vu from her recent memory or something else....]

he had weapons. a knife...energy. it penetrated through my armour and it felt like my insides were being ELECTROCUTED. he kept coming...until i screamed at him...and then...I'm here.

Did you find him??
 
the war room

<< morgan felt uneasy when the birds began to be more active in response to Sharon, she followed them intently with her eyes. but she was counting on Silver Swan's telepathic sway over them to keep them in check. As Sharon gently interacted with them with that beautifull voice, it reminded her of her own interactions with Tink and the kitten. she couldnt help but smile a bit and as Alycia reached out to pet one of the birds, Morgan could only bring herself to smile, wink and wave at them. As Alycia asked Sharon if she remembered her attacker, Morgan listened carefully as the details began to come forward.>>

<< Alycia and Nicolas asked her if there was anything else she rememberd and as Sharon spoke, Morgan wondered.>>

It sounds like this was PERSONAL on the part of the attacker. but no one outside of us KNOWS who the Silver Swan actually is and the media only just became aware of Silver Swan DAYS ago.

<< looking at Alycia.>>

I'm no expert on organized crime or anything related...and I was once the victim of a stalker who some how knew my secret identity (back in the days of Valiant) but could it REALLY happen this fast? could someone REALLY have already begun a campaign against the Silver Swan and have THIS much information on her without....

<< thinking back to Alison's warning about exposure, she looked over at Alison and Ava. >>

inside help?

<< COULD someone be leaking? was it intentional? and WHY? who among them would set their own up like this? it still seemed to monstrous to even grasp at the moment. as Nicolas assured Sharon they would keep her safe... Morgan nodded.>>

That's right. Alycia has already requested you receive a new home outside the city. somewhere that will be hard to reach for outsiders...and only WE will know where you are. Mike, a friend of Nicolas' and my mother will come to visit with you for a little while and help you settle in, if you dont mind.

<< she smiled at Sharon, waiting to see how she liked the sound of that.>>>
 
As Sharon asked the question, Nicolas' face burned with shame.

We..did not. We are hoping to figure out who he is, with your help.

Nicolas grasped her hand. He hated feeling so impotent. He sent a terse message to Mike to get the lead out on his abrogated list of suspects.

Can you tell us anything else about him?

Maybe if she described him, he would get a picture of him from her mind...
 
Illustra

:: Alycia pulled out her hand held device and began to cross reference search the knife that Sharon described....a variety of blades began to flash across the liquid crystal screen and Alycia's current position allowed HER access to the most powerfull personal weaponry available ANYWHERE with federal permission. Cassadine Corp now had the contract for the manufacturing of these weapons and if this was something she could identify, it might help them narrow down who they needed to look for.::

bingo.

a ballistic knife...it looks something like this.

:: shows it to Morgan and Nicolas...Sharon cant help but point at it as she IMMEDIATELY remembers the look and FEEL of it.::


a knife that can discharge DEADLY force against the target. It's almost as powerfull of as a repulsor blaster with its concussive impact and when used against an unprotected body....severe..if not FATAL injury is almost certain. Sharon's armour and now nearly invulnerable physical constitution did her a world of good....but they struck her in the back of the neck...finding a "weak point" in her armour.

:: Nicolas asked Sharon if she remembered anything else and as Sharon spoke of an unforgiving face and "black eyes"....Alycia began to wonder...images of men she had encountered both as a prosecutor, DA and now a federal agent flashed through her head. most of them were deadly, vicious but not on THIS LEVEL...there were a few exceptions, like Victor Klien but HARBINGER had killed him and SHE herself had killed Stavros. ::

Tell Mike to narrow the search to men...age 25 to 35 with mid to high level GS clearance.

:: looking at Sharon..::

Sharon....was he...white or black? did he have any FACIAL features besides his eyes that you would remember?
 
Illustra

[ Sharon seemed to blank out for a moment. she was not sure which way to go...what to do.]

[ too many questions. she didnt respond immediately, instead, she seemed distracted.]

it all happened so fast.

White....tall...big...black eyes....


You can't catch him...you can't punish him...my birds will find him...and he'll PAY.


[ her tone cold and bitter. Alycia asked Mike to narrow the search...but Sharon had now categorized him as "one of them" in a DIFFERENT way. one of the men who deserved to be PUNISHED for brutalizing women! Just as he was looking for HER...SHE would not be looking for HIM.]
 
:: Nicolas spoke of missing Onyx, in which Ava gave him a bit of a stare. He never gave up, did he? Before she could respond to him, Ava felt Sharon's birds become antsy, immediately making the goddess look in Sharon's direction. Low and behold, Sharon began to stir awake; her birds knowing before the rest of the group did. Nicolas, Alycia, and Morgan immediately went to Sharon's side, reassuring her that everything was alright. Standing from her chair, Ava stood back, giving Sharon some room to cope with what had happened and her current surroundings. Watching her, she spoke of her birds...Artemis huh? Atleast she didn't name her Athena. Sharon interacted with her two pets as any mother would. She sang to them; her voice was beautiful, and the birds instantly calmed. It was unusual to know someone else who had sway over a species of animal, but at the same time, if gave Ava a very unique insight into Sharon's mind and emotions. Animals don't hid what they feel, and with Sharon's link to them, she couldn't hid her feelings from Ava either. ::

:: Sharon soon began to speak of the man who attacked her. He was familiar to her, with dark eyes. Nicolas and Alycia were already getting down to buisness, identifying the weapons used and informing Mike of the news. Stepping forward, Morgan looked back at both herself and Alison, asking about a possible inside job. ::

"With the knowledge this person had of Sharon and her powers, there's no way this could have been a random assult."
 
Illustra- war room

<< Morgan gently held up her hand to Nicolas and Alycia.>>

Okay.

<< she looked at Sharon.>>

He may have gotten away, but not for long. He'll ANSWER for this....that I can assure you and now Alycia and Nicolas are arranging for you a new place to live. Don't worry. You DEFENDED yourself as best you could and somewhere in the city, there's a man with more than a few wounds and if he's STUPID enough to be out in the open after attacking the Silver Swan with all these birds around...then he must WANT to get caught.

One way or another, we'll find him.

<< thinking on all the others they'd played cat and mouse with>>

we always do...one way or the other.

<< smiling reassuringly to Sharon.>>

now....let's all get out of here and go somewhere a little more comfortable so we can talk about other things, okay?

<< she looked at Nicolas and Alycia, indicating to let this go for now. She'd speak to Alison later....maybe SHE could zero in on this attacker. she was unaware that the attacker and the man Haleigh and Delilah were meeting with were one and the same.>>

Alison, Ava....we're going down to the conference room on 25. its large, comfortably furnished....and if you could make sure to be on STANDBY

<< in case Sharon reacted VERY badly to the news of Kyle.>>

That would be greatly appreciated.

<< helping sharon up...Morgan glanced at the birds...>>

why don't we leave your...friends, with Ava. She has a rapport with all Animals and i'm sure they wont mind spending a bit of time with her. would that be okay?

<< Sharon seemed okay with it...she nodded slightly with approval, much to Morgan's relief. and with that, Morgan, Alycia , Sharon and Nicolas would now make th eir way down to the conference room. with its soft lighting, cool. quiet atmosphere and large space.>>


<< Ava and Alison were free to leave the war room as well and now Ava had "guests" to attend to as well. It was clear that while Morgan appreciated Sharon's bond with the birds...she was more than a little unsettled by them. probably a carry over from the trauma surrounding the attack at Rockefellar Center when Silver Swan was on a rampage a month ago. >>
 
:: Sharon was becoming overwhelmed and Morgan picked up on that. She reassured Sharon they would find the person who attacked her and make him pay. But as Morgan suggested going to the conference room on the 25th floor, Ava stood silent, knowing this was the moment Sharon was going to find out about Kyle. Morgan suggested leaving her two birds with Ava, in which Ava gave Sharon a reassuring smile. ::

"I'll take good care of them."

:: Extending her arm out, the birds immediately flew from Sharon to Ava, pearching themselves side by side on her forearm. They cooed and fluttered a bit, showing Sharon that they did trust Ava. Stroking Artemis, she watched as Sharon and the others left the room....looking to Alison, Ava shook her head. ::

"Standby...? Should we suit up now or wait until Sharon leaves for Arklay..."

:: A bit of deadpan humor, Alison had already revealed that, regardless of the outcome of Morgan and Sharon's conversation, Sharon was heading to Arklay mansion for Kyle. Looking back at the birds, Artemis decided to fly off Ava's arm and rest on top of the cage Nikolas provided from her. Antiope, however, was a bit smitted with Ava; nibbling the goddesses golden earrings playfully. ::

"Cheeky bird."

:: Smiling, She stroked Antiope, knowing that both birds demenors would soon go from calm to erratic once Morgan had given Sharon the news of her son.. ::
 
Illustra

:: Alison noticeably kept BACK from the discussion with Sharon. It was important for HER to keep her presence contained to a certain level while here VISITING with the Six. No matter how they felt...how SHE felt...She didnt live here anymore...and she wasnt on the active roster anymore. She was now charged with keeping Pandora, her box and other secret treasures that the world was not meant to posess, guarded.::

:: watching everyone, she could see the changes in them over the last few months. Nicolas had made inroads into the team, though he and Ava were still on frosty terms at best. Alycia was more comfortable in her role with the government and while she struggled internally with some issues...it was NECESSARY...to keep her ALERT and AWARE of how dangerous a precipice she was on....and she and Haleigh manged to repair their rift which benefited the WHOLE team. Ava had found her standing here...and was securely transitioned from her MoE timeline to this one. She'd never forget Darkchilde, and Alison had no doubt that they'd see each other soon...but at least she could now call this place home too...and she had Morgan, herself...and the rest of the six to call friends...or even family. Delilah had always been the sure footed one. She and Morgan were friends from early on in life. She was always clear, direct, steadfast and RATIONAL. and so while the OTHERS seemed to demonstrate some growth, Delilah, was now showing signs of uncertainty. There was no doubt in Alison's mind who the "weak link" was...and that when the time came for HER to speak on it, it would draw more than a little reaction.::

:: with her arms folded, her cobalt blue eyes surveyed the situation and as they tried to piece together who attacked Sharon, Alison was already looking ahead to the meeting between Delilah, Haleigh and Connor. It was all she could do to keep herself from SPYING on them at this moment....in times past she would have done so whether they objected or not but Alison too had grown and changed over the last few months.::

:: as Morgan suggested they take Sharon to a more comfortable place to talk, Alison smiled to herself.::

she's doing just fine. she thought she'd fail...but she's doing wonderfully. as i knew she would

:: Alison was glad...but at the same time...she couldnt help but MISS being in the day to day living of the Six. Morgan asked them to be on stand by::

Of course. We'll be there in the BLINK of an eye if needed.

:: with Alison and Ava remaining behind, Ava now had two "guests" to look after. Alison looked the birds over with a rather detached glare. Ava joked and Alison smiled a bit.::

Well...there's a few more things to happen between now and then. But i'm just glad SOMETHING is happening at all. Connor is sure taking his sweet time and just because i can see all of time and space doesnt mean I want to WAIT till the END of time.

:: her own bit of humour. :D One of the birds took a liking to Ava's gold earring. it was kind of cute, even to the stone faced Seer, who studied the birds a bit more..noting the names that Sharon gave them.::


Nicolas doesnt spare any expense with his gifts, does he? he's either a very thoughtfull man or he thinks he can BUY affections.

:: At certain times Alison felt more warmly toward Nicolas than others. She knew he meant well. he had a good heart, but he was young...and like her own brother Cameron, he could be impetuous...something she NEVER liked. Alison was never the most friendly with men in GENERAL. Like Morgan, her own child hood experiences helpd shape her into a "dominant female" and aside from Diddy (which itself was quite a peculiar "hook up" and not even MORGAN new all the details of their relationship) the last man who had tried charming Alison, ADRIAN LOCKLART aka BANE seemed to be a masochist...ENJOYING the verbal (and sometimes physical) abuse Alison unleashed upon him and being able to come back for MORE. Nicolas' attempt to charm and smooth over sometimes came across as nauseating...and though Morgan THOUGHT she was hiding it, it was all too clear to Alison that she and Nicolas had bonded. Still Nicolas wasnt able to completely win EVERYONE over on this team. Ava being the most noted one among that group. ::

:: if there was one thing Nicolas and Ava DID have in common, it was a love and understanding of animals and with her own unique power of nature, Ava would have no problem keeping an eye on the birds...at least until Sharon's anticipated reaction to the news of her son.::

where would you like to go with them? We can't let them out into the open...where they might try to prey on sparrows or anything. do you think your panther would bother them?

:: walking leisurely toward the door leading out of the war room and down the corridor toward the main hallway of the 99th floor.::

"Yeah, don't push his buttons."

[ Cause if anyone could rub someone the wrong way, it was Haleigh. ]

[ Connor was walking towards them now, and as he reached the table he glanced from Delilah to Haleigh then back again. His face said he wanted an explanation. ]

Connor: "You should have let me know we were going to have company, darlin'"

He slid into the booth next to Delilah.

"So, who's your friend and to what do I owe this honor?"

[ Delilah felt a little ashamed that she hadn't warned Connor about Haleigh. But she hadn't really known how to do that without giving everything away. She hadn't that she was going to have to lie to him. ]

"Connor, this is Haleigh Davidoff. She needs your help."
