Aramis never thought he'd have found himself in this particular situation. He'd not found his way to the institute more than two weeks ago, no more than two weeks ago did he find out that his father was not trying to have him killed, rather trying to protect him from his own power. He'd settled in well enough but now here he was. Just as life had finally begun to settle down, just when he thought he was out they sucked him right back into the mayhem. He sat in the hangar of a small independently owned airport with the large jet not far off, waiting at the exactly location those "hired" had been instructed to show up at.
"Aramis, I know you're upset but we've done everything we can. We've tried to recruit a sensible person we think can get the job done." The man with a similar English accent said to him. A hand found it's way onto Aramis' shoulder as he sighed. He had just learned that his father, The Archduke and his two siblings, his brother Peter and his little sister Margerette. The message was delivered directly to Aramis as well, the conditions were simple. He was to turn himself in (and likely die) or his family would die. In response, Aramis had some of his "people" reach out into the community of Mutants and attempted to hire some of them in order to get another person or so to help him get his family back. Now he sat here, waiting for any mutant who heard about this little operation to show up at the air-field. A little concerned whine left his throat as he lowered his head and pressed two intertwined fists against his forehead."It's in God's hands now."
The promise of God's intervention. Where it once would have soothed his anxieties, now it served only to anger, sadden and embitter the young man as he sat there, unknowing of his family or their condition. Yet one could dare to say that it was in God's hands? The plump, well dressed man in slacks and a sports coat shook Aramis' shoulder, as if sensing his doubt. "Aramis...It IS in God's hands now." He said, making sure the male herd him. Aramis just scoffed and looked down to his hands, two circular scars from days not long past.
"No..." He said softly as his eyes narrowed and he took a deep breath in, strengthening his resolve. "...It's in mine."
With any luck the "recruits" would show up soon and they could get onto the jet. Anyone who wanted money, or just the chance to make a strike at the M.R.D was welcomed without question. He didn't have the luxury to turn away help at a time like this.
