The idea of 'morning' was relative. To Kas, it was morning. To the rest of the world, it was 2:30 in the afternoon.

He decided it was time to pay a visit to some old friends, and it didn't take much to find this place, at least not for him. Kelly was resourceful, and there weren't many ways to keep him from information if he wanted it. Thankfully, this was a painless observation. No interrogations needed.

An 'intruder' found its way inside the front door. There were few who'd ever think to make their doors airtight, and that is all it took to keep him out. A refridgerator door could stop him, but so far he could sneak into every home and business in New York City. 

As soon as the smokey substance cleared the doorway, it rolled back together and quickly became solid mass again. Kelly strolled the lobby area, casually looking around and yawning before producing a cheap pack of cigarettes from a coat pocket and shaking one out, grabbing it from the pack between his lips. He wouldn't light it, just keep it there. It was one of the bad habits he'd fallen back to in the past few months.

"'Ey! Anybody here?" 

Please don't be Lakai, anybody but her..
He could deal with Shikon potentially going to turn him into a crispy critter as soon as he learns what happened, but Lakai's smug face right now was the last thing he wanted to see.

Neo had made himself scarce. After a weird array of events and deciding the was never going near the Xavier Institute again...Thana took off. Shikon read the text and he took off. He was busy trying to make Cannabis even stronger while avoiding anyone. Since Shikon's stalker girl hadn't been mean or attacked him out of nowhere he assumed she went after Shikon or was elsewhere. Least he hoped so. He threw the plant at a wall making it wither away and vanish before crawling out from under a coffee table. His hair in a ponytail as he moved the cannabis seeds around. Blinking and stared around when he heard a voice echoing. Standing up he held the seeds in his hands.

Rolling them around and pressed into the shadows. "Who are you? Big brother isn't here right now and I think the crazy wolf girl stalking after him." He said as audibly as he could but didn't come out into view. Guy had the codes to get in so he had to be someone allowed in...right? He suddenly got an idea of how to possibly amplify the effects of nature's truth serum but he'd experiment afterwards.

"hes k-e-l-l-y. He keeeellyyyyyy!"She pranced out ofthe shadows in her usual too tight too short outfit. She glared at neo with an evil grin before looking innocently up at kelly.She took the cigarette out of his mouth and smelled him slowly and seductively before popping the cig into her own mouth. "Neo make sure im NOT here before you talk shit about me. Id hate for that bag i hid to go down the garbage disposal." She winked at kelly. "Hey there panty twister. How come you reek of my sister?"

(by this point as I said he would have his pouch bag back. :P spoke about this oocly lol)

Neo looked at her. "I wasn't talking poop about you. I was stating proven facts. I already found my bag again. Big brother Shikon got a bit upset because I trashed the place until I found it. No thanks to you." he said shakily. Glaring at her a bit. "Haisk adsjo." he said in his native tongue. Now he was talking shit about her. He stared at her. "You won't ever get my treasure again or I'll give you the canine's version of catnip." He said unhappily. He moved quickly and covered his face. "Aaaaah put clothes on crazy wolf lady." He cried out flusteredly. Climbing up onto the highest place he could and glaring down at her.

Kas glanced around, pretending to search for whomever was talking.
He could hear their voice, and locating them was as easy as paying attention to the small change in air pressure each time the person took a breath.

"Aww, damn. he ain't here?" he wasn't the least bit disappointed to hear Lakai was gone.
"Well maybe I'll chill for a bit and see if he shows up. Not like I have shit else to do."

In truth, he was anxious to discuss something with 'big brother', having no idea of the current changes within the Brotherhood. Shikon would probably be all over the idea of starting trouble for MRD, organized or not. Every time they had to deal with capable fighters like Shikon and Kelly, that was more manpower they couldn't use against defenseless kids.
Especially now that Kas was putting the whole idea of non-lethal force behind him. Those bastards were going to learn who to fear..

"So hey, whatcha doing?" he chuckled, noting what was some top-notch medical that was now a withered twig he'd thrown away, and wondering who it was trying to hide in here an bogart it all to themself.
And then, speak of the devil.. some annoying little voice started crooning his name.
'Crazy wolf girl' came slinking into the room dressed as usual like a tramp wandering in from some street corner, stealing his cigarette and tossing assumptions around. 

"At least that's better than a smellin' like a tuna canning factory accident." he remarked, and looked over to the blonde who was practically trying to climb the walls to get distance from her, and back.
"Where is Shikon?"

Neo started laughing a bit as he observed the guy. "Thanks for humoring me mister but I'm not as stupid as people seem to think I am." he said with a bright smile. Perching up on his very high up place. He learned that lakai favored her wolf form. When she wasn't less dressed than the street girls called hookers...whatever that was. He let them use him for a model me Barbie and he got free clothes...it was virtaully painless.

He put the seeds in his pocket and fished out his pouch. Searching through the seeds. "Making the most strongest, vibrantly full of life Cannabis plants for big brother. When not dried and given additives to make it into marijuanna its the most successful truth serum since the world wars. I am going to try to hybrid plants that have other mental and consciousness dulling or affecting ailments together with the cannabis to make it as potent as possible." He said with a shrug.

He didn't mind answering kelly. He seemed nice. Looking down and tried to not laugh he managed to but his eyes shimmered in laughter. "He rushed out after reading the text message sister thana sent me. He looked sad and a bit mad." he answered the man.

" Yea hes just allllwaaaays out helping those damn damsels in distress isnt he." She looked hurt for a second and became quiet. She was still not completely over Shikon's little trist with the fire slut. She akwardly scratched her arm and blew some bangs out of her face. She was a little more mellow since the institution but she had her moments. " If you did what i think you did then thanks. My sister deserves some happiness in her life since that dickhead." She pretended to be bored with the conversation and picked at her nails.

Listening to pretty-boy and ignoring Lakai's little comment for the time being, Kelly looked thoughtful. The blondey was on the right track alright, but what would Shikon need truth serum for?

"You might want to read up on henbane. The ancient Greeks used it for visions and all their religious mojo. Supposedly one of the chemicals in the leaves was isolated and made into what the government denies they used way back in the 1920's to interrogate people easily."
Of course, there was really no such thing as a chemical that could 'make' one tell the truth. It was all the same as getting someone really really wasted. They'd happily tell you anything, even make it up.

"On the other hand, I could give my rat-bastard cousin a call, if you need answers that badly. He has.. a gift." A gift for controlling every part of a brain's chemical composition. It was his cousin Jon's power to get people to tell everything and go away feeling like they had a pleasent chat with friends. It only worked as long as he was touching them, but Jon could coax a person to believe they can fly because it was amusing for him to watch them try it. Owing him a favor would be undesired, but for Shikon and his little family, he would.

"And no, Lakai, don't thank me for what ain't gonna happen." he glared at her for a second. "You're right about Petard, but the last person anyone's going to find happiness with is yours truly. You should be thankful Shikon does help 'damsels in distress'. Or where would you be, by now?" he would return in kind with a bit of poking where it hurts, considering Lakai always thought herself the bad girl who needs no one. Part of him was still glad to see her here, in one peice. Just a little.

Neo looked at him. He flushed a bit. "Uh...um...I'll just ask the plant itself. It be faster." he stated. Tapping his pointer fingers together. He couldn't read. He wrote but he couldn't read it after he did. Thinking a bout it and grinned. "A hybrid of Henbane and the Cannabis leaves would be the most potent and powerful all natural truth serum ever. Thanks mister! Now I can make sure Shikon gets the ultimate batch of Cannabis. That will prevent drunken slur yet do what I was thinking." He said with excitement all over his face. "If you ever need anything plant related just let me know. I owe you one. Gift of nature...thats my gift. Big brother made me see it in a different light." He said with a bright smile.

Pulling out a handful of seeds and held them in his fist. "Henbane...thats not easy to access in the states but I remember hearing it was on the black market. Though I don't want to owe that creepy woman anything." he mumbled to himself. Looking at the guy as he spoke. He studied him a bit. "You look like someone just offered to rip all of your teeth out and make you a lady. No thanks...that would make me owe you a handful of favors. I already owe you one for that ingenius idea you had." He said with a smile.

Falling silent and pulled out the cannabis seed. "Grow for me." he whisperred to it. He'd noticed the way the man looked at the twig. It had been inedible...poison plant. The seed in his palm began to get a yellowish white glow as his eyes turned the same color. A sprout formed from the seed then began to rapidly grow an form a large and vibrant cannabis plant. When he was done he tossed it to Kelly. "Here...you were eyeing the twig. You can have this as part of my thanks. If you want it. If not it has a high street value in that form."

Lakai appeared like she was listening to someone though there was no one next to her. She was a little skinner than her usual self. She also had healed scars on her arms and legs. She giggled in a way that sounded borderline psychotic then went back to being serious. " Id be back in the fuckin nuthous. SHUT UP I CANT HEAR MYSELF THINK WHEN YOU TALK ALL THE TIME." She yelled at the blank space next to her and wandered into the next room talking in a very animated way." STOPPIT STOPPOT STOPPIT SHE ISNT BAD AND SHE ISNT GOOD!. Im sorry shhhh dont cry. dont cry its okay. NO NO ITS NOT OKAY. Shhhh. This little blue bird standing in a lonely room SHUTTUP."

Shrugging at Nature Boy as he worked out the next step to his plan, Kas thought the kid seemed a little too polite to be hanging around here. Then again, an outsider will stay where they feel accepted. The blonde handed him a plant, newly grown in an instant from the seeds.

"Damn, that's convenient!" he remarked, and wondered where he was going to hide this. Lakai started to giggle in that not-funny way, and then it quickly escalated into a screaming match with a wall in the other room. The scars were noted as she walked away, and he sighed.

"Guess I pushed the wrong button." Kelly shook his head in a moment of grief, wondering what the girl had really been through. At least he knew Shikon would look after her the best he could. It wasn't as if Lakai would let anyone else concern themselves. She acted like she was invincible and all-knowing, but deep down she was still a damaged teenage girl.

"Fuck. I'm not good at this.." by this, he meant talking to the fairer gender. Women and all their emotion-driven stuff. It had started to make sense while he and Evelyn were together and now he wasn't really motivated to try. Instead he turned to Nature Boy, hoping Lakai would eventually bluster herself out.

"Oh-kay. So, kid. You're not from around here, are ya? What's your name?"

Neo looked at him with a tilting of his head. "What is convinient?" he rubbed his temples. He was glad the twig was dead. It held no voice or life. The guy seemed happy with what he gave him. He looked at him. "That is the only button that made her seem not hostile and homicidal...she walked away versus turning wolf and trying to eat you." He said. To him that was the lesser of two evils. He looked confused. "Good at what? I have noticed that females seem to only share the built in pillows. After that they are either very feminine, amazonian, crazy or manly." he said softly.

Looking at him as if deciding whether to trust him with his name or not. "No...I'm from an uncharted tropical island. My name is Neo. Nice to meet you kelly." He looked at him. "So Kelly....why did you come here and seem like you were hoping that big brother shikon was here and sad when he wasn't?" he asked curiously.

Kas couldn't help but laugh a little. The blonde kid had a quirky sense of humor, and confirmed he wasn't from around -anywhere-. Had he any idea what the attraction to 'built-in pillows' was? Probably not.

"You're funny. Neo it is then." better that than Nature Boy. "My friends are the only ones who get away with calling me Kelly." the inclusion of Lakai in that was conjectural, though he didn't seem to mind it from Neo.

"I actually came here to have a long talk with Shikon. He's an good friend from better times."
Should he tell the kid he wanted to push their 'big brother' onto the warpath? It didn't seem like Neo was much of a fighter, though maybe he would sympathize. MRD had been terrorizing their kind more than long enough.
"I was hoping I could count on him to give me and some 'friends' back-up.. when we go do something about Mutant Response Division."

Neo looked at him and smiled when the guy laughed a little. He seemed to be a bit better than moments before. Tilting his head a bit he listened to him. "Then what should I call you if only your friends are allowed to call you Kelly? Old guy seems rude for someone whose demeanor and desire to spend time with big brother states he is close to big brother. Plus your ability to know where I was in the shadows when I've spent a lot of time running from assassians and living on the street indicates your extremely skilled and possibly dangerous. I'd rather not end up on your bad side." he said after a few moments of contemplation and silence. Smiling at him then listened.

Nodding his head. "If your a friend of big brother's then you are a friend of mine and that means your safe. Big brother is very selective in friends and those who he calls part of his family. He said so himself." He said with a laugh. Looking down at him a bit. "So are they. It is why I was working on the cannabis and stuff. I want to get stronger too...and less skittish. So I can be more effective in not just defense or evasion but also offense. Even if I'm more into defense or protection of allies. Then I can be more useful to big brother and avenge Kakania's death." he admitted.

He pointed to the plant the guy had. "That is why your idea is going to be very useful. Big brother wanted me to make a big batch of my best and strongest cannabis. If I can hybrid Henbane and Cannabis...which I know I can coax them to make nice...it'll give the same effect as an intense high and drunken state while removing the slur of those two...and be the truth serum Big Brother needs." He said with a smile. "I'm sure big brother be happy to do that with you sir." He said with a laugh. "He already is planning to make sure they are afraid of the Brotherhood name. It was decided already."

Shikon had a bad day when he walked up to the Brotherhood house. With his hands in his pocket he kicked the front door open. He wasn't very focused and he heard people talking. The alarms started going off and he walked over to the security device and killed the alarms with the codes. He turned around and walked right past Kas. He leaned against the wall around the corner from Lakai waiting for her to realize he was home.

Then it slowly dawned on him that Kas was here. He looked at Kas out of the corner of his eyes. His arm slowly caught fire. "What are you doing here Kas? Something you need? Or are you just trying to break and enter people's homes like usual?" Shikon didn't mean to come as an ass, but his day wasn't going the way he had originally planned. He looked a little beat up.

Neo jumped down from where he was high up on his perch. He ran over to Shikon when he came in. "Big brother Shikon you're home." he seemed really happy. He slowed down and moved. Giving Shikon a hug and looked up at him. "He came to ask for help. He wishes to do the same thing as us with the M.R.D. Lakai was talking to the invisible people again." he said to him. Pulling away and rubbed his eyes sleepily. He hadn't noticed that Shikon's arm was catching on fire and the close proximity had him feeling sleepy. He was just so relieved that Shikon had come home. He pulled away fully and looked his big brother over. "Sister Thana...isn't with you?" he asked softly and searchingly...hoping yet already feeling he knew the answer.

Lakai was huddled against the wall on the floor with her eyes shut and her hands over her ears like a child and muttering quickly to herself. She rocked in a subconscious way to soothe herself but it only made her appear more crazy. " Shhhh shuttup shuttup SHUTTUP. Bad girl. Nonononono. Shuttup shuttup. Stoppit. BE QUIET NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE. Bad bad! Bad kitty! Out out damned spot! Shhhhhhhh!" She started to dig her nails into her skin while still covering her ears.

At Shikon all he could come up with for a reply was a shrug. Some things had to stay the same, right? Like the fact that he would never knock or enter a place like a normal person. The other man's short statements and chilly attitude were noted though. This was a good time to leave him alone to talk to Nature Boy about the person Thana he mentioned.

Since Neo had already stated what his main interest in visiting was, Kas walked off into the other room where Lakai was sitting in the corner and frowned. This is one reason why something needed to be done. Young people whose lives were being ruined before they really even got started. He couldn't listen to this anymore.

Kas knelt next to her, well aware she could lash out at any point. So quick the eye could barely catch it, he grabbed both of her wrists and turned her slightly to the side so she was facing him, even though she didn't see him.

"Lakai Amorite Faelith!" he said sternly, hoping that would snap her out of it.

He knew about her power absorbtion, though didn't really care. If she happened to take on his powers, she still wouldn't be able to harness the amount of control he had. He knew how to restrain someone without harming them, and expected her to try shapeshifting. Other than teeth, wolf form would make her smaller and weaker.. and if all else failed, he could decompress the area and make her pass out from lack of oxygen.

He had all of these back-up plans in mind, though hoped the girl would simply come back to reality and figure out no one was trying to hurt her. On the contrary, some worried about her. Even if they didn't seem like it.

Lakai opened her eyes and looked at him with an annoyed and confused expression. Her nails had blood on the ends of them. "What the fuck do you want? Why the hell are you touching me. You are touching the wrong sister ya porn monkey." She looked like she was ready to punch him and jerked her hands out of his. "Take it weasy on th whole name thing or ill kick your ass."

descriptionCompleteRe: This is a Home Invasion? (pg13)

Shikon watched Kas walk over and grab Lakai's wrist. He watched Kas carefully. Shikon didn't trust many people often. And Kas had been gone a long time so he was very wary of him being anywhere near Lakai. He smirked when Lakai threatened Kas.

"So Kas, what is it you actually want? I think the time for games is over. You've been gone a very long time, and I'm finding it hard not to wonder why exactly you're here. Sowhat is it Kas?" Shikon started tapping his foot slightly.

Neo was glad Shikon was home. Glad he seemed to calm down. He watched Kas then Shikon and Lakai. He moved and ran upstairs to gather up cash he'd hidden around Thana's room. Stuffing it into his coat pockets and missed most of the conversation that went on with Lakai threatening Kas and Shikon asking it again. He went to the twig and made it turn to earhten dust before he stood up and walked into the room big brother, kelly and Lakai were in. "Kelly or Kas...He wants what brotherhood wants. The same thing as Big Brother, Lakai and Magneto. Teach M.R.D. a lesson and stuff." he called out audibly after joining the other three in the same room as them. Holding the phone in his hand despite it was useless. His answer to Thana not being with him...it was written in the bruises on big brother and the fact she didn't come in. He needed to head towards town but he wouldn't do so without telling big brother and he was busy. He went over to a seat and sat on it. He'd wait his turn.

Kas seemed surprised that Lakai snapped out of her delusions that quickly, giving him the usual snarky attitude and acting like nothing had been wrong. He got up and walked away.
"You're assuming a lot there, fluffy."
Firstly, that he did anything with her sister. He was getting really tired of that.
And that she could kick his ass? That was laughable, but he didn't feel like laughing.

At Shikon's anxious questions, he let Neo do the talking, taking another cig from the pack he brought and leaving it unlit. He was at least not so rude that he would do that in someone else's house. Not to mention the air pollution would probably kill Nature Boy. How did the kid make it here to the most populated part of this country when he was from some deserted island? 

"Yeah, what he said." Kelly interjected once Neo had spoken up again. The name Magneto was highly noted. So was the amount of tension toward his presence here. He'd wanted to talk to Shikon like they were still friends, but apparently that had changed while he was gone trying to piece together a life.
Even though their relationship ended in with disaster, he thought now maybe it was a good thing he'd gotten Evelyn away from here.

"but.. seems like you've got your own agenda. I can take a hint, that's okay. Anytime you need a hand, I'm offering it."

That said, he intended to leave the way he'd come in, turning into a cloud of pale smoke that held the momentary shape of a person standing there.
"The only other thing I can give you is a little friendly advise. Don't trust that old-timer. You're all just pawns to somebody like him."
The cloud dispersed into the air, finding a heating vent to drift out through.

Neo sighed quite audibly when Shikon and Kas seemed to overreact and fight. Then again he noticed that Shikon, Thana and most others here had a temper and were quick to jump. Though he loved them all...except the crazy wolf girl...it was confusing sometimes their look before leap actions. He also admired them for being so strong and brave. Their live hard die hard attitudes were amazing. When Kelly left he called after. "Bye Kelly. Thanks for helping me put to words what I was thinking."

He stood up and looked at Shikon. "I need to head to China Town Big Brother. I need to get something that will help with my mission for helping big brother's mission. I will also be lowering the medicinal factors in the cannibas and increasing the recreational." He waited for big brother to acknowledge. "I may not be back before curfew so I'll hole up somewhere for the night."

Shikon sighed when Kas left. Maybe he had been to rash and hard on Kas. After all he left for good reasons, reasons that even Shikon could understand. "I don't trust the old man" Shikon mumbled as he went and sat next to Lakai. He listened while Neo spoke.

Shikon reached into his pocket, and tossed a set of keys at Neo. "Don't worry about curfew Neo. Those keys will unlock any door in the house. And the alarm code is 1137. Just make sure you're back here. I don't want you getting hurt." Shikon then turned his attention to Lakai gently touching her cheek. "How are you holding up dear?"

descriptionCompleteRe: This is a Home Invasion? (pg13)

Neo blinked a bit and he caught the set of keys tossed at him. Though he tossed it between his hands a couple times until he fully had ahold of them. Looking at them then looking up at him. Memorizing the alarm code. He remembered the places big brother Shikon's fingers hit. Going over to the keypad and moved his finger over it. Holding the set of keys in his left hand. He followed the motions Shikon made. "Alright big brother. I will. Soon as I finish what I need to do I'll come back here. No matter how later it is." He said with a bright smile. He put the keys deep into his pocket so they wouldn't get lost. He then went towards the route out of the house that Shikon taught him. Leaving out to go get a few more things before later afternoon early evening.
