Midnight turns from her position in the alley way surveying the hounds. She can hear the steps behind her and she whistles the hounds rushing through the streets to her and she feels an uncommon horror at the blood leaking from their mouths as Neji rushes past her his blades digging into the already damaged creatures as they howl and bite for his legs one last time as they melt into a pile of black ooze. He turns leveling his blade at Midnight who makes no move to stop his killing of the dogs and doesn't seem particularly phased by the light in her face although a keen observer will notice her shrink away from the light and shiver slightly.
What was her plan after this moment.... she hadn't truly thought they would come. Now she turns her hands still at her sides as Neji's blade pricks her throat. Now they can see her face is hooded, the only thing allowing them to know she is a she is the shape of her figure and the long dark hair that pours from the hood, "Could you possibly put your fire away, and shine less. Your making my already bruised head hurt more." Neji snarls at her attitude lunging forward at her only to find she has quite simply stepped aside clearly not as blind as she would have them believe, "Please... I have come for asylum." the words tumble from her mouth as Neji whirls clearly annoyed at the dodge and he grabs her by the throat stunned she isn't fighting back as he hits her with a blast of light in the face that causes her to howl in pain as her hood falls away. Her face is now in view as Neji drops her to the ground, "Dad can I dispose of her now, or do you have any questions for the hag?" his voice is tense as she holds her face and the smell of burnt flesh is in the air, "Please... Your light is damaging to a me a creature of the darkness. I am pleading put your weapon away and do not do whatever daemonic thing you just did to my face." her voice is weak and she is just realizing how tired she is, "I am tired of fighting... and getting beaten by a good for nothing father who does not love me. I want my bear and I want to live in the light and not have to do this anymore." she looks up tears rolling down her face which one cannot be certain is from physical pain or grief, "Abducting children in the night to make beasts out of.... I had no childhood! I want one now, I want a father who hugs me and tucks me in and chases the darkness away." she hugs her knees , "I can't go back to them, and I can't kill myself. The DNA won't let me." she stares at Harry still covering her face from Neji's glowing weapons and the sun which seems to be causing her skin to sweat more than is natural, "Please save me, isn't that what warp angels do!?"

(You know that if harry does this, you will actually become pure? You won't be able to go back to your father or anything?)
Harry looks sternly at Neji ''Don't insult the enemy. We are civil, or we try to be.'' He turns to Jack and Lorvus, who put thier weapons down too.'' Miss... Midnight, I beive? You truly desire purification? Sanctuary and Suppliment can be yours without, though i cannot guarantee you'll be allowed to leave again, ever. Whilst purification offers the choice to leave... Well, i know not whether you'd be suitable for the path it leads down.
--------------------------------------------
Malovent shakes his head. ''Dammit, she better not be falling from darkness. I don't wanna be doing any more healing...''
Inside Gerards throne room, a voice, disembodied but present nonetheless, rings out. A womans voice. ''Magnus... Gerard. Little Midnight is failing. She is being purified.'' A purple haze fill the room, and Zora, looking thin, bleak and ill, appears. The haze fades. ''The Warpcrossers have found her. And she's beging for release.''

She is holding her legs, how can they be so kind? She wonders through shivering as Neji's blades go out like light bulbs. The rays of sun still touch her flesh but she seems less like she is melting. However at the mention of purification her body shifts about wildly as she screams at him her red eyes blazing "NO I don't want purification! I want to murder you." She seems to hold herself down as her arms and body roll through the many forms she is capable of although none attack him , "Please I just want sanctuary. I don't want them to make me do those awful things again. I don't care if I can't leave... Who would want to leave the light?" Her form stabilizes and she looks exhausted by the shifting, "I can't... he'll just make me do it all over... He'll kill me if he finds me..."

Harry Nods understandingly. ''Then sanctuary it is.'' He waves a hand, and every thing turns white. Then they are back in the warphouse, but between them and her is a cage, silver metal glinting. ''I wouldn't touch the bars if I were you. They are for your protection, but you might get burned.'' He says, not unkindly, more in a stern father type way. With that, He leads the procession away.
Jack stays behind for a few seconds, staring into her eyes. Then he turns and flowws the others.

She nods thankfully doing her best to remain away from the bars and also covering all of her skin with clothing as the searing pain of light subsides the shadows her cloak casts over her form enough to keep her skin from burning. She lays there actually enjoying the silence although it might be nice to have a blanket she is stunned by how quiet and peaceful it is. The cage is a problem, but not one she can't solve. As Jack stares at her momentarily she looks back at him wondering why he cares, no one does. She knows it. Even these angels will ultimately want something in return, "We are all just chess pieces, some of us get the liberty of moving ourselves, most of us do not." she whispers darkly, "and most of us are not any higher than a pawn." she mumbles her eyes opening and closing as she buries her face in the floor of the warp her eyes closing as she finally sleeps peacefully unaware in her sleep as her pale hand slips out from under the blanket and begins to bubble and bruise in the bright white light.
................................
As they leave Neji looks up as Solara joins them, "Want to explain why a Nightmare is here..." she says smiling at Harry falling into step beside him. Neji looks up , "Want to tell me when I get to question her?" he says still looking annoyed with the decision. Solara looks at Neji knowing that was the wrong way to say it.

"Harry, Dad, Mom...I have a request. Let me be her watcher, I swear she will not get into any trouble." Mathius says barging into the room. The look on his face is pure determination, flames lick his fingers with such power should he be told "No" it may set the house ablaze.

Rage looked on as Malevolent entered the room where Gerard was talking to the others- he was sitting curled up leaning against the wall next to the door. He was starting to get bored as he could not hear a thing, the doors were either too thick or his hearing was dreadful. Seeing Malevolent leave the room Rage walked over to him.
"So, what are they doing in there or what are you doing?" He says to Malevolent grinning making his sharpened teeth visible as he watches an image appear on the mirror.

Solara turns looking at her son shaking her head slightly at the idea, "I don't know, that girl is really. Look I can barely get through the shadows and the darkness in her mind but I don't see anything I am certain I want my son near." Solara bites her lip seeing the look on Matty's face, "Besides you called her a (please do not swear) and wanted to kill her, and honestly that isn't an option." she looks at Ty and Harry, "Look if your father says yes and Harry is keeping an eye on the situation I am alright with it, but you can't go into her mind..."
.........................................................
Midnight's hand has stopped bubbling and bruising at this moment. She mumbles something drawing her hand back out of the light to her chest as it begins to heal slowly as she turns on her side facing the bars her hair falling to shield her face.

Malevolent looked at Rage ''If i cant follow her, i figured i could at least observe. But she's been taken by the warprossers, so she's beyond my sight. We should inform Gerard.
-------------------
Harry shook his head. ''No Mathius. Jack is to be here watcher.'' Jack looks up suddenly. ''I wha?'' he says. Then he shakes his head. ''O...k... Matiu, you could join me if you like. I may not always be able to spare two eyes... *He walks towards her cage, beseats himself, and watches Midnight, though his eyes often stray, unble to look her in the eyes without blushing.

Solara nods as Jack leaves them, "Well so long as Jack is with you I trust him to keep you safe, but no going in her mind. Leave that to me or Harry." she smiles hugging her son as she disappears back to her computers.
.........................................
Midnight sleeps with Jack watching her for several hours until eventually her eyes open and she remembers the events of the morning and wonders what she was thinking. She slowly sits up her hair so long it is still brushing the floor and her eyes are blurry until the light hits her face and she groans slightly, "Ughh." she covers her face trying to figure out how she is going to deal with the light from now on out. She notices Jack finally not looking at her, "Jack," she says not at all uncertain of who he is. In fact he is the most definite of their records, "So why are you sitting there? Did you draw the short straw or something she says as she allows her hood to flop down and she tries to get used to the light but ends up just sitting there looking pained and squinting.

Jack, busy folling with his ARMS doesnt look up. ''I guess so. But i don't mind. Its quiet here.'' He slides a plate over to her, which has some nice looking soup on a mini-bowl, Jacks home-made seeded loaf, and a slice of gingercake on it. ''enjoy. I know i worked hard on that bread, and i think Solara made the soup, but i don't know.''He goes back to calibrating.

Harry Shakes his Head. ''Dom, Jack and Mathius have it covered. Thank you for offering, but your a soldier, not a peoples person. However, feel free to have a meal, if you like. We could be here a while.''

Ty settled against a wall choosing to blend as he conversed with Roxa and Mathius mentally. "Hey Solara can I have a word?" he said entering the room filled with computers. "Our son has a thing for the walker..." he says petting one of his shadows.
*I'm Mathius, why did you come here?* Mathius says disengaging his fathers mind a blocking all but Midnight out.
Gerard and Magnus sat waiting in the throne room. "Night will fall soon, round up a group of shifters and get Rage. Your going to the city again." Gerard whispers to his son. "Yes father." the boy says, a scar on his face from the blow he took earlier.

Ty can sense the discomfort on Solara as she studies screens but eventually turns to face him, "So I noticed." she smiles lightly at him, "Look Matty is very strong, in time if I stopped training he would surpass me, and I have no doubt he can because his gift is naturally genetic, mine is spliced into normal genes." she smiles , "But I can still invade his mind with relative ease." she nods slowly as she keys several things into the computer, "I don't know why her... She is older by a year, and honestly I don't like it. I mean it's different from you and me, we both had Issues, Matty doesn't, I have seen one memory of that girls and I know she has issues." she shakes her head, "Well what do you think we should do?"
..................................
Midnight looks up from her position laying stomach down her legs up and crossed behind her as she chews on the food slowly not used to anything this good. *Your a psychic, you look it too." she thinks although he isn't certain what she means *I came for the rays* she thinks extending her hand through the bars to him as he watches her skin bruise in the light. Whether or not she is lying he can't tell because her mind seems to shrouded in darkness*Why do you care anyway?* she continues studying her food, it tastes good, but she feels awful, given the chance to study her arm he sees the fresh scabbed over scar Gerard gave her, it stop just where her thumb meets her hand and he sees the sleeve has been shredded away and that the scar runs long. *I am here for sanctuary.*
