Shikon was just walking around the park. Without Lakai by his side he was lost, and more than that he was broken. A soulless man with nothing left to lose. Since he and Lakai had went their separate ways Shikon had been keeping himself busy. He never stopped to think, was always moving on to the next job that needed him. He wasn't Brotherhood anymore, and he wasn't X-Men material. He was just back to the way things used to be. A cut throat. An assassin. Whatever you wanted to call it, that's what he was. He took the money and only asked the questions he needed to get the job done. When he came back into the business his contacts thought he was soft, he straightened that mess up quickly.

Today was the first day since it ended that Shikon had a day all to himself. As he thought there alone, sitting on a park bench he thought of all of the memories he had with Lakai, the good and the bad. He remembered how she told him he was never there anymore, and she was right. Shoulders slumped Shikon sat there in the park. All alone, and completely damaged. He just stared at the ground, not knowing what to do with himself.

(Nice to see you)
From the moment of the bus stop at the park a young lad who went from hell and back return for the 1, 2 for the last time. The kid was wearing rip jeans, black shoes with a persona 4 shirt and jacket. He also did mod out his phone and shoes to look more animey and cool. Finaly his body is more slim then his old one was. 

The young lad smile and heading to the park walking around to see what was going on. While walking down the park he begin to felt heartbroking as Emily Youngblood left and he thought he will never ever see her anymore, he miss having her around. "Oh snowbunny where are you, your wolf need you" thought Jeff, Jeff came back from his travels and was thinking of a few ways to do things and all .

Loika was leaving Mel's after a double shift and a group of frat boys. With her tips safely tucked in her bag she checked her phone to see if she had any texts. Nothing. She looked up as she was walking through the park. She used this as a shortcut sometimes.

She knew that smell. She was standing in front of shikon. She crossed her arms and looked at him with a pissed off expression. " Boy you reaaaally stepped in the dog shit this time didnt you." She said with an edge to her voice. Her blue eyes were glowing.

Shikon heard someone walking up and listened to a familiar voice. Looking up trying to muster a snarl through the tears and depression it came out looking like a wounded animal wanting to be put out of its misery. "Come here to gloat did you? Are you happy now?" Shikon just sat there on the bench. Trying to look intimidating but failing every step of the way. His depression was fading and turning into anger.

Loika rolled her eyes but she also actually felt bad for him. She sighed and ran a hand through her long black hair. One of the few traits she shared with her sister. "Yea i stroll the parks looking for depressing old men to torture while wearing these godly uncomfortable shoes. To answer your question. No. I just got off work. I was going to head home when i found your sorry ass."


She shuffled her foot on the ground. " im not a heartless bitch. Im a sister. Theres a difference. I was worried about my sister and i was right to be so. You destroyed a 15 year old girl. I hope you are proud. Shes attacking other mutants now."  She checked the time to see what time it was." I have to be home later to make supper for the kids. Wann have a drink with me first?"

Shikon laughed  a little, a genuine laugh. "So I'm an old man? You realize I'm barely an adult right? Ahaha, I didn't destroy anything. I tried to protect her! I went to hell to rescue her, I fought you and all the X-Men for her. In the end it didn't matter though. No one cares."


Shikon stood up, and he motioned Loika to follow him. "Since I'm an old man, the drinks are on me. C'mon kid."

Loika walked along with him. As they walked she pulled the rest of her hair out of the bun she put it in earlier and let it fall over her shoulders and back. "No matter how much the truth hurts yes. You did destroy her. I know you saved her at one time but still. I tried to warn you before. You started a relationship with a mentally unstable 15 year old girl. What did you think was going to happen?"


She was still wearing her annoyingly short diner waitress dress from work. With the slight chill in the air a normal human would have been cold. She hugged herself and rubbed her arms to keep warm or at least make it look like that. "Lakai isnt used to just being loved. She feels betrayed after the way you keep leaving her. Now shes going to hurt alot of innocent people. Shes hunting a new group. The evolution. Shes already shifted in public and scarred one of their girls......if it makes you feel better she wont talk to me either."

Shikon just looked stone faced. He listend closely and nodded, he knew the truth, but he refused to accept it. He looked at Loika and chuckled a little. He focused a bit of his powers and heated up the air around them. "That help any? I know what she's doing. I don't like it, but what can I do? She won't talk to anyone. She hates me now, and even if she didn't I haven't seen nor heard from her in weeks. I know I made mistakes, but I tried. I tried so hard to do what was right. I tried to keep everyone safe. Do you get how hard it is to be responsible for a group of people? A group of people who look up to you to lead them? It's hard when you've been a cut throat all your life. Am I making any sense to you? I want to help all I can, but I don't know what to do Loika. I feel broken inside..."

" Imagine her feelings. She is feeling abandoned. She looked to you for leadership more than the others." She shrugged. " Im naturally 108 degrees. I'll be fine."

She listened to his side of things. He loved her. He admitted it. But that didnt help her currently. " You and i both can agree that if she continues on this path either the MRD ill get her or i have to...."

They entered the bar together. This situation is fucked entirely in terms of lakai. " If i could only understand the reason you broke her heart....She feels more broken than you do."

Shikon motioned to the bartender as they walked in. "I didn't break her heart, I didn't break up with her. I didn't like the person I was going to become so I left. That's why I supposedly broke her heart Loika. But she knew I'd always come back to her. Never could leave her behind."

The bartender brought over two beers. Shikon smiled and handed him the money. "I'm here a lot. I pay off my tab in advance in case I come in without cash. Anyways, I don't know what to do, so if you have any ideas lay them on me."

Loika sipped her beer and pretend to examine the bottle. "Lakai acts big and tough but she had a shit life before she came here. She will never admit it but she needs love and security. Shes insecure. You were the straw that broke the camel's ck for her. Now i get to clean up the mess."

Shikon smirked at Loika. He had done all he could, but it wasn't enough. "Look Loika, I'll do what needs to be done. But if you have any better ideas I'd love to hear them. Instead of criticizing me for something lets be the adults we are and get this shit fixed."

He finished his beer and slid the bottle down the bar and tapped the bar twice. The sign that he wanted another one. He looked at Loika and raised an eyebrow, asking if she would like another as well.

She nodded at him and tipped her head with a sassy smirk. "Wow you really arw diluted. A real adult wouldnt be in this situation in the first place. I do have to ask though. You were with her a year....why didnt you sleep with her. When she was talking to me she told me a couple times that you never once did it with her.she thought it was her fault. She really loved you."

Shikon laughed a little. "Except for the fact that adults end up in all kinds of weird and messed up situations. I never slept with her Loika because I wanted her to feel special."
He let his eyes drift to the floor as tears welled up a little. He tried blinking them away as he spoke. "I knew about her past, I knew about all the sex, drugs, smoking. I knew about all of it. I was proving to her that I wasn't just another guy Loika. I didn't need sex all the time, and I wanted her to see that she didn't need to give it out just to feel loved. I loved her too Loika. More than anyone I've ever loved before. I still love her Loika, and yet I made her hate me by doing what I always do. I leave at times, I have to. But that never changed the fact that I always came back to her. Always."

" Im amazed she told you about that stuff. Shes a tough lil kid. Im also amazed you had the restraint not to touch her. She can be very persuasive when she wants to be. Somehow. I believe when you say you didnt touch her."

She took a long drink of her beer and sighed heavily like the weight of the world was on her shoulders.

Shikon looked at Loika, his eyes red, and his vision a little blurry. "I'm sorry it came about this way. What's wrong? Other than the whole Lakai thing? And before you say nothing, give me some credit for being able to see it clearly written on your face."

He smiled a weak smile at her. She was Lakai's sister, and he cared about her. He cared more about Lakai, but that was to be expected.

" Its only the Lakai thing i promise. I almost lost my husband and daughter this year, fought in more battles than ive cared too, and now i get to hunt down my sister. No one seems to understand she isnt a bad person. Shes just damaged. Im not trying to make excuses for her."

She drained the last of the beer from her bottle. Because of her high body temp she would always have to drink alot of something strong to feel any effects. " Im trying to save her without someone taking off her head. Which is why im going to catch her and have her commited somewhere." She stared down at the bar and didnt look at him as she spoke. She was sure he was going to be furious with her.

Shikon smiled an even weaker smile. He didn't hate Peter, even though they disagreed on many things he still considered Peter a close friend. And her daughter well after Loika and Peter finished ripping off the person's head who dared to threaten her there was a long line of people who would be waiting in line. "Loika I'm so sorry. I know it doesn't make a difference, but I really am. I know Lakai isn't a bad person. I get that she is just damaged...Although I don't agree with putting her in an asylum. That's just crazy. They won't be able to help her! In her state she'll just kill them. Normal doctors can;t handle that kind of stuff. They'll probably just turn her over to the M.R.D. as soon as we blink!"
He wasn't sure which emotion was making him so upset, but he didn't want to see Lakai at the M.R.D. much less in a padded room.

Loika pulled out a few bills from the tip money in the pocket of her uniform. She set it down as a tip for the bartender. She shouldnt have told him of her plans. She knew it would only upset him. She had hoped he would understand. It was better than lakai dying. "Thanks for the beer shikon. And the talk. Its cleared some things up. Im going to find somewhere safe for her i promise. She needs help. More than we are capable of."


She slung her bag over her shoulder and headed for the door.

Shikon threw down a wad of bills and followed Loika to the door. "Hold on a minute Loika, where is possibly safe for our kind? What doctor is willing to help? I need the answers Loika. If I don't know I'll get even sicker than I already am. Let me help. Please, this is my fault." 
He looked at Loika, a pleading look on his face. He wanted one chance to fix it and if he couldn't he would go along with Loika's plan.

Loika continued walking out the door. If he kept up with her fine. " Theres a doctor at Mount Sinai hospital. Shes good to our kind. She called the school when stryker cut mack out of me. Shes helped me before. I'm going to talk to her. She will know where. There has to be somewhere." Her heels made small clicks as she walked down the sidewalk.

descriptionCompleteRe: The Good, the bad, and the damaged.

Shikon kept close pace and came up next to her. "How do you know she can still be trusted though? Mount Sinai is such a vast place. There's no telling where she could be and if she's even still alive."
He sighed Loika wasn't going to listen to him, and he knew that so he just quit his argument. "Loika I trust you, just keep me in the loop and let me help where I can, okay? That even includes you telling me to jump off a bridge and fuck off." There was a dead serious tone in his voice, and he smiled at Loika. He wanted to help as much as possible, but there was always a chance Loika wouldn't want him there. He could mess everything up.

Loika nodded. " The woman saved me multiple times. Shes still there because shes one of the ER doctors. No one else would want that job. She also took care of Mack when she had a fever. If you have any other options that doesnt involve me burying another family member this year id love to hear it." It was alot darker but even with people around she couldnt shift in public. She stepped into an alley and behind a dumpster. She peeled her clothes off and stuffed them into her pack while she talked.

" Peter has never liked my sister and even hes willing to help keep her alive. We....we can do this if we do it right."

Shikon looked away while she changed. "No one is going to bury anyone. We're going to do this right because we have to. We're going to save her Loika. You just let me know once you've got the plan all together and I'll be there in a heart beat. I won't let her Loika. I just won't.

After stuffing her things into her pack she shifted to her wolf form. As long as no one looked at her closely they would just think she was a black husky or german shepherd. She carried her pack with her teeth."ill call when i have a set plan."
