Old Friends?


~VENIN~
*sweat pours from her brow as muscles flex slowly raising the body to the bar...tnedons stand out on the forearms as she holds the position, eyes level with the bar..then once more the muscles contort, a low groan of effort leaving her lips as she slowly raises herself above them...and holds once more....with just as much effort she lowers herself, parralell to the bar, and then down...only to repeat the process again..and again..her muscles burned, sinew stood out taunt along her frame, her clothing drenched in sweat...her mind tracking over the files she had recently read...picking out key information...and wondering once again, why her capture file was denied to her*

~EI-QUE~
~*~ Agility cats envied, and wisdom an owl loathed. Beauty, simple, quiet, and now most enigmatic. Jesse, the dear, was complete. 'Complete' as files stated, the psychologists reminded, and the status read. She did not feel this utter completion, but instead recognized it as something she was searching for, for a very long time. This wholeness was the development of her emotions. She wept when she was sad, she smiled when she was happy. She expressed what she was thinking. This making her whole. Before reinstating her to the GUARD she went over several points of interest with Rikky. The bastard Aerik, the unfortunate status of the RUNners, the way her mind could still grow. How as her mind grew she would need to maintain her body. And since her flesh was not as pale. Her frame petite, but not wasted away. She looked healthy, felt healthy. And to these arrangements only she agreed, to practice at the workout rooms at least twice a week. As Attrait explained it, when she should run in with RUNners again at a later date, they might not understand her change of heart. And that would mean a physical confrontation with those who would be at a mental par, or superior. She slid into the work-out room, hearing the equipment being used. Hardly looking up to see who was there. Only offering a polite nod, before even letting her eyes wander towards the person. Upon identifying the woman, she just stood for a moment, and in a quiet, and almost pleasant voice. Relief in her eyes, saying a simple. ~*~ Hello Yvette. It is good to see you once again.

*muscles strain, heart pounding like a drum, her own breath sounding a harsh rasp .....yet even over these she had heard someone enter....her senses now almost rivalling her fathers...aspects of herself she had never bothered to hone before, not when she was a RUNner...but now, here at base...she had a goal, had a reason to exercise every skill she had....she stops a quarter of the way up, not quite believeing what her senses are telling her, then after the briefest pause she continues the upward pull...then the voice, confirms what her senses had told her.....this time on the full extension, she pulls herself around the bar, flipping and sailing through the air to land on her feet beneath it, facing the new entrant, her landing made heavy by the twenty pound weights on each ankle* Jesse *she nods briefly at her then leans over to unfasten the weights* when did you get back?*..she hadn`t heard anything about Jesses capture, or return, she hadn`t seen any new additions to the file not last time she looked anyhow*

~*~ She offered the briefest hint of a smile before placing her items near the benches that led to the locker rooms. She shrugged a bit and said in a paced tone. ~*~ I am not too sure myself. Rikky aided me in an epiphany of sorts, and I found myself starting where I began. ~*~ She said this absently, and retrieved a few ankle and wrists braces slipping them on. She took of the sweats and sweatshirt to reveal a plain tee-shirt, and a grey pair of shorts. Her GUARD emblem on it was small and uncolored. As if they had just released her to work, and not even asigned a department yet. She moved towards the beam, that was in another part of the rec area, through a window and visible through a glass wall. She said again quietly. ~*~ I discovered there were many things I despised about my previous existence with the Rogues. The GUARD opted me to stay here. ~*~ She left it at this, as she mounted the beam. She did not hold her hands out for balance, instead left them loosely at the side. Walking back and forth for a long while before even attempting a few simple flips. ~*~

Rikky? *she drops the weights noisily on the bench then grabs up a towel and wipes some of the sweat off..another piece of the puzzle clicks slowly in the back of her mind...the solution just barely out of reach but there, hidden by a haze...*Despised? *her own responses are short, choppy, and to the point...no longer was she the caring compassionate person that Jesse formerly knew...now she was strictly what she was meant to be...a cold blooded killing machine, a Hunter of Rogue Unnaturals, a deadly predator...with one key prey on her mind...Aerik Winters..and here before her was one who knew much about Eclipse and what he could do, was capable of...this was a yet untapped source of information* about six months ago, two months after the breakout *she drapes the towel around her neck and follows you into the other room where she leans against the wall*

Aerik Winters, ~*~ Spite, it could not have been clearer. Disappointment, riddled with pain. ~*~ Also known as, and preferably as Rikky, Psiclone, not Aerik. I do not blame him. ~*~ She said quietly. ~*~ I am sure you have met him before. . . ~*~ She then slowly sat straddled over the beam. Finally rolling backwards and walking slowly on her hands, her eyes focused on the beam entirely as she casually spoke to Yvette. Noting she had changed, drastically. Then again, so had Jesse, in ways she knew Yvette noticed, but was more than likely not at concern to speak about. ~*~ Yes despised, loathed, hated. I made mistakes. ~*~ She did not want to bore her with details. But if asked she would have supplied them. She smiled offering a bit of soft musical laughter. It echoed off the silent walls, empty in itself. ~*~ What a waste of time that was. I would like to apologize for orchestrating that fiasco. If I had only known.

*the slightest smile touches her lips...that spite is one she knows well, hatred for Eclipse her only bedmate* Yes, I have met him *Her smile changes slightly, this one tinged with scorn...as she remembers her first encounter with him* I almost killed him first time....only my fathers intervention saved him *Jesse had known her well enough to know of her hatred of Scratch, now that hatred had been entirely refocused upon Aerik...her father only being spoken of with respect...nothing more, nothing less...* As did we all, though not all by choice *She shakes her head in denial* without it, I would not be here

~*~ One hand then slowly lifting into the air, as she continued her unwavering balance, until quickly tumbling her body back to the straddling potion. Exhaling firmly as she did that and the standing again. on her tip toes, handless flips, and such, seeming as if almost in a graceful mode. She then paused at the edge of the beam her tip toes only supporting her. Lightly she brushed away a bit of her brown hair before looking towards Yvette. ~*~ I am glad your father intervened. I am also glad you are upon speaking terms with Mr. Christopher. -=- She left the subject alone, as there was not much to discuss about it after Yvette' s next comment. She slowly turned her eyes towards Yvette, and asked quietly, as she hopped off the beam. -=- What are you implying ' not all by choice' ? and ' without it' ? ~*~ Her mind instantly working in several different ways. Taking the situations and evaluating them. -Almost killed Rikky, Not by choice. - Then Jesse did something she never was known to do before. Jump to a conclusion. Though she did not voice this aloud. She would let Yvette explain if she wanted to. ~*~

*she shrugs now this conversaton was leading to what she wanted...if it hadn`t, she would have just started firing questions....but for now, she`ll let it ride as is* It`s all in the file and my reports...`Eclipse` * this time her venom and hatred comes through* stole my life turning me to a RUNner...*a malicious smile sits on her lips* my confinement then self imposed isolation let me break the barriers he had set....

~*~ Jesse stared in awe for a moment. Approaching Yvette. A smile and honest one playing over her lips, stretching very wide. ~*~ This is utterly fascinating! I have never heard of once one being able to merely break barriers without a power influx or emotional trauma! ~*~ Her tone lowered as well as she dropped the subject. Saying lightly. ~*~ I would not have put it past him. He was playing everyone along as puppets. ~*~ She pondered quietly. ~*~ Or perhaps . . . he released all mental holds upon you. ~*~ She narrowed her eyes slowly deducing a few things, and saying quietly, near vengefully. ~*~ After-all when I needed the bastard most is when he did that to me. ~*~ Unsure why she needed him. Unsure why she so desperately was helpless, and /needed/ him. And this didn' t bother her. Of course it wouldn' t . . . she did not remember a lot of things, since the attack. Since Rikky found her. ~*~

*she nods in agreement...emotional trauma..mental trauma...those were things she had undergone, things she knew well...perhaps she was the only one who knew how close she had come, how she had looked over the precipe, perhaps even broken...but why divulge that* perhaps that is it * a sigh leaves her and she shifts against the wall...this banter was boring her...getting nowhere...she needed information, and Ei-que had it * What can you tell me about him? *she might as well jump to the point...mindlessly inane chatter would get her nowhere, it was a waste of time, when she could be seeking informaiton elsewhere*

~*~ Her eyes flicked upwards as she stood for a long moment watching Yvette. She would have to adjust, seeing the ' real' Yvette was here now. The other "Yvette" she knew was nothing more than a fantasy. A sick work by a man they both hated. She quietly withdrew and looked at Yvette square in the face. ~*~ I know more than enough. Everything he allowed me to know about him. Fondness, though they could have been lies, dislikes, fears. There is more I could remember I am certain of it. ~*~ She looked back towards the ground. Frustrated. ~*~ Given time. ~*~ He eyes only whipped back to Yvette, understanding her pain. She went through so much of the similar things. Or perhaps the real Yvette would not want to accompany a brain. Another thing she despised Aerik for. He ruined Yvette. Ruined her. She could not get to know this woman. Everything she knew was fake. She tried remembering Yvette back when she was younger, before Venin left GUARD for the RUNners. She could recall nothing except the woman did not say more than two words to her at a time. Dissapointed a bit, but understanding, and very angry. How dare Aerik? Not only was Yvette effected but everyone who admired that facade of a strong spirit. Quietly she uttered. ~*~ What are you going to do about him?

Good...I want everything...his weaknesses, strengths...anything....*She takes on a look of a predator, anticipating the hunt..a cold feral gleam in her gaze...perhaps the time was soon, very soon she would go after Aerik..she looks Jesse over, appraising her...she was a strong telepath,..perhaps here was the weapon she had been looking for..* I am a Hunter, I will do my job *the words quietly spoken, almost like a threat...one directed outwards, towards the entity which had altered both their lives...she can`t help it if she `accidentally` kills him while doing her job....if you can`t bring them in, then kill them...and she would ensure that she couldn`t bring this one in..she didn`t want to chance his escape...*

~*~ She looked over Yvette her feral looks and demeanor. Thinking slowly, a quote that blared in her thoughts ' Foolish man of action, don't you but know you are pawns to the clever man of thought. ?' Seeing as this wasn' t the Yvette she knew, nor ever would be she instead simply smiled gathering her things. ~*~ I will have to discuss if that is classified information with my superior, Venin. ~*~ Shooting a glance back towards her that read very clearly -LATER- ~*~ I feel I have discussed a lot with you already tonight I am unsure if can be released between deserters. ~*~ Hesitating a moment again, saying sincerely, and a bit withdrawn. ~*~ It is good. . . to see you again. Alive, and in good physical standing. ~*~ She paused again as she turned away as if to say something. . . instead she gathered her things and walked out of the rec room. She fulfilled her obligation. To her severe disappointment. ~*~
