Meniatz lands on the roof of the Red Court and sets Tau and Dio down gently, a melancholy look on hir face. "I...do you think...Syraei might have survived?" Sie says as sie coils up hir tail and slumps hir torso onto it, looking listlessly at the blue-tinted water in a nearby hot-tub.
Antiman follows hir sister-mate in landing hir back stroking wings stiring up the air around hir and touches down with exhausted grace. Sie starts to unstrap Kesai from hir chest, "I hope so love and think it may be possible because of the strain of nanites you gave hir." Sie sounds disturbed and hir ears droop down as sie thinks about Syraei's fate and about the fate of Meni's research in the hands of RSX.
Dio regains his balance after being set down. He brings a fuzzy paw across his mane to help comb it down after the assault it took from the winds. With a satisfied tuck of his suit, Dio takes a moment to contemplate the situation. "Who knows? Even if shi did, I don't think RSX will take to kindly of hir betrayal even though we brought it on. Unfortunate, really..." The adrenaline of battle has faded off of Dio, once again reminding him that he hasn't slept for quite awhile. The lion wobbles slightly and sits himself down upon the floor. "There's also the matter of Kesai's information I found..."
Tau replies to Meniatz "What do you think? If sie did, I figure sie'd be killed as a traitor. Or just to cover things up." Sie wanted to leave, but stuck around for the information dio mentioned. "What information is that, dio?"
Meniatz buries hir head in hir coils, still listening intently to Dio's information. Maybe it will be good news. "That's what I'm afraid of, Tau." Sie slithers slowly over to Anti as sie curls up around hir. "...Are we bad people?" Sie asks as sie slowly pets the gryphon.
Kesai murmurs faintly in her sleep as she's untied from Anti's chest. She clung to the warmth of the gryphon's body, having gone from a wet warm tank to a rapid blow dry with late winter, early spring winds had cooled her... as well as blasting her fur into weird shapes.
Antiman shakes hir head, "I actualy don't think they'll shoot hir for treason. They'll probably view it as a from of brain washing which doesn't do my conscience any favors." Sie continues to unstrap Kesai and craddles her in hir arms, "Sie looks at Dio. What information is that, love?" Sie leans into Meni's coils, "No love we arn't. We were people who were on the wrong side of the resource scale trying to take on a hard target. You take whatever advantage you can in that case. We probably shouldn't use mind control for any more interragations, though."
"Are we bad people? You guys certainly aren't, at least not in my eyes. We did what had to be done in order to save our friend being experimented on. We just had to crack a few eggs is all." An awfully gray way to put it, but Dio was ready to get off the boring subject of morals for the time being. "As for our vixen here, I found some interesting information on those computers before releasing her." Dio takes a moment to pause and look at Kesai, wondering if she's awake. "She was born in the city of Los Vegas and well... She was living there at the time of the gray goo incident. However, it seems that she survived and walked right out seemingly unscathed. Physically at least. There were a couple of theories in that computer. Something like being able to control the goo, or perhaps resist it to a degree..." Dio decided that perhaps that'd be a good stopping point. Kesai, in the lion's opinion, could probably use some rest rather than having certain facts about her past revealed that could trouble her.
Tau's first instinct was to shout "yes" at meniatz, but sie knew that wouldn't be right in any sense of the word. Sie looks really irritated when Dio says "Crack a few eggs" and was going to say something, but then dio started speaking about more important stuff. "Well...that's...interesting, but-" sie pauses for a moment more "I don't think that all of the stuff they pulled was warranted."
Meniatz churls softly and gives Anti a kiss. "Thanks, everyone." Meni really needed to hear that. Sie still feels awful, but at least sie knows hir sister-mates and brother-mate didn't think of hir as a monster. Sie pets Kesai and nuzzles her. "Well, regardless of what our little Kesai can do, I won't let anything happen to her again."
Antiman looks at Kesai with amazement as sie stroaks her in her sleep, "Little one, you're just full of surprises." Sie softly speeks to her, "Our little miracle, vixen." Sie wanted to hiss at what sie rembered at the lab but managed to restrain hirself so Kesai, "It was like witnessing a group of modern day Doctor Mengele's. It was horrifing." Sie chirp purs as Meni kisses hir, "None of us will, love and it never will the Spiritual Mother willing."
The vixen's tummy growled and she stirred, a silvery eye cracking open slowly and peeking around before she opened her other eye. She looked at everyone around her and at the familiar locale of the roof before she pouted. "I had a bad dream..."
Antiman scratches Kesai behind the ears, "I know honey. It seemed to be such a terrable dream, but it's over now and it was only a dream." Sie continues to pet Kesai as Sie confort her.
Dio lays down fully on the cement, spent from all the action and lack of sleep. He nods to Meni and smiles. "Indeed. She needs family more than ever right now. I'm quite interested in just how she managed to survive such a thing. Perhaps it's her DNA?" Dio pauses and chuckles as Kesai starts to wake up. "Ah well, we can figure out these things later. Or perhaps, not at all. I bet she's quite hungry."
Tau asks of Meniatz "At what cost? What if they decide she's worth sending a team of people, enough to surround the building? Gonna kill your way through *them* too?" That statement wasn't fair, but sie wasn't in the right state of mind at the moment. Then the vixen woke up. Sie suddenly felt guilty, that question would cause emotional reactions, and the fox girl probably didn't need to deal with that. "Nevermind." sie says and turns to start walking for the stairs.
Meniatz gives Kesai a kiss. "It's okay, Kesai. You're safely cradled in the arms of a beautiful gryphon." Meni realizes that Tau is probably right, and feels ashamed of hirself for being so short-sighted. Sie slithers after Tau, trying to talk softly to hir so Kesai wouldn't hear. "Tau, I'm sorry we put you through that. I promise from now on, no matter what the consequences, we won't kill any more people. That said, I'll also do everything I can to keep my family and friends safe." Meni hands Tau a small bag, filled with treats. "If you're going out...I don't want you getting hungry. Please, be safe, love." Sie says before kissing hir.
Kesai leans into the kiss though with a frown. The vixen cast her gaze around at everyone and felt that palpable sense of emotional tension in the air. "Did something happen? Is someone hurt?" Her voice wasn't quite the same monotone it had been, but it still seemed quite muted.
Antiman chuckle purs, "She always is, arn't you my little vixen." Sie rubs her nose with hir beak. Sie thinks, *Whatever it takes to protect our family, love.* And sie wouldn't feel bad about it either sie knew. Protecting the den or nest was one of the strongest instincts that all animals had including humans. It was how everyone was wired and because of that sie knew that sie would sleep soundly after. Sie still doesn't look foward to it. Sie licks Kesai on the cheek, "Tau had to Kill a few ferals while sie was out. Sie isn't taking it very well, but sie'll be alright eventualy. How about we get some food in you." Sie gets up still cradling Kesai.
"Never kill anyone ever again?" Dio grins and starts to pick himself up to his feet once more. "Personally, I don't agree. When you guys helped me that one night, I started to realize a few things about myself. I've begun to move on and accept what happened, but still... I've been on a few missions here and there that involved getting my hands dirty. In the end, I didn't feel a thing. Even today, I feel nothing." Dio points to Kesai and continues. "We had a /job/ and it was completed. What happens in between matters nothing. So in the end..." The lion grins again, "I believe you've 'adopted' nothing more than an apathetic killer. And the worst part is that I've accepted it down the line." Dio looks at Kesai again and starts to walk away towards his apartment. "I'm sorry you have to be around me. I'm glad at least Kesai is safe."
Tau shakes hir head. "No, look. Damn it, as much as it bothers me, I *know* there are some situations where there's no option. Don't put yourself or others in danger because of my personal issues, okay?" Sie takes the treatbag and put on a smile for hir in return. "Thank you." Sie kisses hir back. A few ferals? Eh...yeah, she didn't need to know the truth. On dio's depressing note, sie heads down the stairs. Sie needed some time alone.
Meniatz looks on as Tau heads downstairs, giving a small wave until sie is out of view. Meni sighs before slithering over to Anti, wrapping hirself around the gryphon and holding hir close as sie pats Kesai on the head. "I think food is a wonderful idea, love!" Sie says as sie nuzzles hir sister-mate. Turning to Dio, the wyvern shakes hir head. "You're alot more than that, love. You're a gentleman and our beloved mate. You brighten our lives every day." Sie says with a small churl as sie opens the door to hir home. "So, does anyone else feel like breakfast for dinner? I could really go for an omlette right now." Perhaps Dio's talk of eggs inspired hir. Meni sniffs hirself and cringes. "Not to mention a bath. Would anyone care to join me in the tub?"
Kesai stared after Tau and Meniatz, frowning faintly despite the beak nuzzling. "Oh. I hope shi's ok." She looked up at Dio as he speaks about killing and motions at her, the vixen shrinks into Anti's arms before slowly lifting her head as she realizes Dio isn't angry at her and that Tau is leaving. Even the offer of food didn't entirely mollify her, despite the insistence of her growling tummy. She leaned into the patting, her tail swishing slowly behind her. "Food is good... bath is not good."
Antiman looks sadly at Dio, "Only someone who can see some things more clearly than what others can." Sie chirp purs as Meni wraps around hir, "That sounds like a wonderful idea. I just need to wash up a little. That giant hot peper plant mutant was nasty." Sie chuckle purs, "I disagree about the bath love, but food is definatly good."
Meniatz picks up Anti and Kesai as sie slithers into hir home and leads them into the bathroom. Sie adopts hir sphinx form as sie runs the hot water. "Now, Kesai, there is no need to worry. We can all have a nice bubble-bath together and just relax in the hot water. It'll be like a hot tub party."
Kesai whines, clutching her handpaws in Anti's feathers. "But I don't wanna bath!" She didn't burry her nose in Antiman, though, since her eyes were starting to water and her nose run.
"A gentleman? Are you sure? You saw me, didn't you?" Dio scoffs and puts his hands upon his door knob. "Who can be so sure that the idea of Dio the Gentleman is nothing more than a silly farce? I've simply stopped caring about these matters. I've even begun to enjoy it I think. I've also become a bit curious of my limits. Maybe, I just need time to think... I'm sorry..." Dio opens the door to his apartment and walks inside.
Antiman pets Kesai's head, "I know dear but I'm afraid you'll smell like pepers until you do. It probably rubbed off of me." Sie unslings Tau's riffle and puts it in a corner of the living room, *I'll need to clean that.* sie thinks. Sie takes hir armor off as soon as sie enters the bath room, "I'm always so glad after coming back from a patrol so I can take that thing off." This is soon followed by hir weapons belt that sie places as far away from the tub as possible.
Meniatz adds the bubble-bath solution to the warm tub and purrs happily as sie picks up Kesai. The room smells of lavender and petrichor as the water is topped off with thousands of irridescent bubbles. "Please calm down, Kesai. If you want, you can just sit in the tub and relax while we pet you and nuzzle you. After all, it's been a long day." Sie says with a smile as sie lowers hirself and Kesai into the tub.
Kesai whines and whimpers, clutching Meni tight as she approaches the hated bath. "But I just woke up! I don't wanna bath." She hiked her tail and kicked her feet up, trying to avoid the water as best she could. "You're getting my clothes and food pouches wet!" She shouted as she glanced down at her clothing and belt pouches.
Meniatz lifts up Kesai and hands her to Anti.
Antiman carefuly removes hir collar and places it with hir belt. Sie accepts Kesai, "Sorry about that, love." Sie sets Kesai down, "Now take your clothes off dear." Sie takes a sniff, "Just as I thought you smell like pepers too. It'll make it harder for you to hide and catch prey." Sie waits for Kes to take her clothes off as sie stands infront of the door.
Kesai whines, taking her time about removing her clothing as she made a show of pouting. It took several moments as she carefully folded up her clothing and revealed that stark contrast between her clean and dirty fur, as usual. Now naked, she pouted hard at the tub, willing it to go away.
Antiman once again admired the beauty that was Kesai, "It isn't going to go away by pouting at it, dear. Climb in it'll feel good you know it will."
Meniatz picks up Kesai and lowers her into the tub, onto Meni's lap. The sphinx pets the fox as sie rubs the soapy bubbles into her fur. "Your fur is really pretty Kesai. If you clean it, it will stay that way. Plus it will be nice and soft."
Meniatz feels hir cock peek out of its sheath as sie strokes the fox.
Antiman Sie climbs into the tub as hir cock peeks out. Sie chirp purs as sie climbs in, "It'll also keep things like fleas and ticks off of you as well."
Kesai pouts, all the way back into the tub. She flattened her ears around the petting and the soapy bubbles. "I don't like baths." She repeated for the hundredth time as she was scrubbed clean. Kes reached out and poked at Anti's exposed cock in a curious manner.
Meniatz nuzzles Kesai, cleaning her face and shoulders with the soapy water on Meni's face. Sie rubs Kesai's belly and purrs contentedly as sie notices the fox poking hir sister-mate's cock. Hir own begins to poke Kesai in the back. "Are you interested in our male bits, sweetie? You can touch them, if you'd like."
Antiman chirp moans a little as Kes pokes hir male equipment causing hir to become fully erect, "It's alright if you do Kes. Is it alright if I touch your vagina to clean it?" Sie grabs a wash cloth to clean Kesai with.
Kesai scowled faintly as she struggled with a memory that troubled her in ways more than fear. "I'm supposed to be scared of it..." She pondered as she peered back at Meniatz as she was poked in the back. "But I don't know why. If... it doesn't hurt." She quickly added. "But I still don't like baths!"
Meniatz gives Kesai a kiss and scratches her behind the ears. "It won't hurt. My sister-mate is very gentle, especially with sensitive areas like that." Sie massage's Kesai's paws and smiles. "I'm sure you'll learn to love baths as you grow up."
Antiman chuckle purs at her line about baths, "There isn't a reason to be afraid of it and it won't hurt, I promise you." Sie uses hir wash cloth to clean Kesai's legs starting with her feet working on one then the other. Sie works hir way up cleaning hir legs up to her inner thigh. Sie cleans around the lips of hir vaginia. Hir stroaks with the wash cloth become a littl less innocent as sie stroaks Kesai's clit with it but doesn't press too hard with it.
Kesai flattens her ears and whines softly at the sudden sensations. The vixen rolled her hips into the touch for several moments before reaching down and gently pushing away Anti's hand, panting softly. "Um... it's... clean now."
Meniatz begins to doze off as sie strokes Kesai, purring softly at regular intervals.
