Daemon stood by watching with a scowl. Of course Damien had to step up when they had a mission. He always ruined the fun...He growled as he saw that they had someone. “I get to torture him first!” He snapped.

"He might be useful in another way. Not a bad ability, gravity manipulation." Aza had chained Kaiden's hands to the wall and closed the door to the basement, and was now glancing at Damien.

“Let me just have a little fun with him!” Daemon whined. His dark eyes were narrowed at Aza. “I won’t kill him or anything!”

"Fine." Aza took out the key to the door and threw it at Daemon. He leaned against the hallway wall, taking out his gun and spinning it around his finger, bored. His left arm was still dripping blood, and he knew he had to bandage it up sometime, but that could wait.

Pandora/Ishtar:
Lurking in the basement, were they? She heard a muffled struggle, cries for help and whimpers of pain. Sounded fun. Smiling gently, she got dressed in a sweater and skirt (Think Korean) and opened her room. After looking around, she walked into the bathroom and brushed her golden ringlets, forming a glossy mane. After doing her morning routine, she walked lightly to the lobby. She could smell blood, but she was missing things. After taking a deep breath, skin rippling and morphing, she padded up on velveteen paws, flehming carefully. She smelt blood, power, stale fear, some misery and despair, a touch of madness, and the deep sense of authority. Purring, she cat-smiled, licking her chops. There was someone new here, someone with powers. Sniffing the air, she tried to filter the elusive scent of the powers concerned... Feh! The hyena's scent was everywhere. But it was corrupted, it was sweeter. The scents for Daemon were here too, with Aza's mixed in. Very interesting. Aza usually didn't bother himself with their petty games. Aha! The new scent. It was definitely old power, speaking deep into the bones of the land. The body creaked with power, beguiling her. After thinking on it, she decided it was Gravity Manipulation. Very good. It appears that the useless twats have finally done something right. Grinning, she shifted to Pandora and wiggled her fingers, casting a cleaning spell. After her careful ministrations, the blood spatters and scuffs were gone, and the whole house was now sparkling and smelling of Lysol. Walking to the main room, she wanted breakfast, so she walked back into the kitchen. Humming a long-ago waltz, she quickly cast a spell to cook breakfast for all of them, each getting their own favorite breakfast, cooked to perfection. The kitchen quickly smelled like a paradise, and the best part was that there were no dishes or things to clean. While that spell was going, and the house was getting cleaned she peeked over to the main room, where all of the loud noises were being made. "So, anyone going to tell me what's happening?" Looking at Aza walking out, she walked up to him, long strides effortlessly cutting the distance between them.

Aza dipped his head as he spotted Pandora, putting away his gun immediately and murmured, "Shakarri and I have captured one of the kids. Gravity Manipulation, it seems. He's in the basement right now."

Kaiden was slumped against the wall, his hands chained to the wall. He was waking up, and his right shoulder hurt terribly from the gunshot.

Daemon perked up hearing Pandora. “Those assholes decided to go out and get him without me!” He snarled. His dark eyes flashed annoyance. “Next I better get invited to your stupid little missions!”

Amusedly watching his fealty, she smiled warmly at Aza. He was power-hungry, but he knew who to bow and scrape to. Good. He might be useful to her. "You say you captured a child with powers?" Purring her words, she looked happy as anything. "Understood. Thank you, Aza. I'm pleased happy you managed to do this, I'm very proud of you." Tossing a silky wave of hair back, she walked towards the basement. Hesitating before she went down, she said to Aza "Hey, there's food ready in the kitchen. Wash off the blood though, I just cleaned." After saying that, she cheerfully went down the stairs, her steps barely audible.

Aza nodded and walked away and into his room. Pinned to the walls were plans and notes and reports, and he opened a drawer of a cabinet and took out bandages. He took off his black coat and rolled up his blood stained sleeve, and wrapped the bandages around his arm where Kaiden had stabbed him, wincing slightly at the pain.

Pandora/Ishtar:
She smelled MORE blood. Was it from Aza? Sending a quick little healing spell his way, she walked into the gloomy basement, her feline eyes adjusting fast to the darkness. There was a slumped figure in chains, probably the prisoner. Walking gently over to them, She kneeled and began to cast a powerful healing spell, her hands glowing a soft yellow, illuminating the darkness. She needed to win Kaiden over, so she used her powers of charisma and attraction to enhance her beauty and give him the initial impression of a girl he wanted to trust and protect, hoping that the spell would convince Kaiden to not try to hit her as soon as the healing spell kicked in and Kaiden awoke.

Kaiden blinked his eyes open, and he groaned. His shoulder didn't feel so bad anymore, but it was still sore. He stood up, regaining strength in his legs as he focused on who stood before him. "Where am I? Who are you?" He blurted out, trying to get free of his chains but failing.

Aza felt a brief coolness on his arm, replaced immediately again with stinging pain. Pandora must've tried to heal him again with her ability. But his ability prevented that. The wound hadn't closed. He'd have to heal by himself, like a normal person. He continued wrapping his arm up. When he finished, he walked out of his room again, his black coat draped on his shoulders, and closed the door behind him.

Daemon has followed Pandora down to the basement. He stood with his back against the wall. He wanted to know what they talked about. He would step in if something got out of hand.

Pandora/Ishtar:
Flinching from the sudden movement, she scrambled away, out of his reach. Standing up, she said carefully, "I'm Pandora, and you've been captured." A bitter tone in her voice, she looked rueful. Watching him struggle with the chains was highly amusing, they were draconic steel and bound magic completely, robbing him of power that then got directly siphoned to her. Her face, however, showed none of that. She looked like she was trying to badly mask terror, and hurt lingered in her eyes. Trembling, she flinched at every movement Kaiden made and made sure that she was well out of reach. "Please don't h-hurt me, I'm just here to heal you..."

"Captured?" Kaiden tugged on the chains again, but it was useless. He attempted to use his power.

Shakarri saw that Kaiden had been healed and let out a groan, speaking under her breath. "Ugh. Not even a little torture? I was really looking forward to that, now you've really ruined my day. " She smirked, little chuckles escaping her throat. She spoke up this time so that Pandora would hear. "Oh, also, while you were doing whatever, some person came along and f*cked me up. " She gestured to the short tusks, reptile like tail, and hooved legs. "Not sure if it was f*cking Satan or what, but I rather like it. "
