Attack

[Liam/Mason]

Erik stopped all of the bullets in mid air and then disappeared. He reappeared behind Izobel, revealing his teleportation power. He wrapped one arm around her torso, and the other around her neck. Mason was furious, but he didn't want to attack if Erik was going to break her neck. "Erik, don't hurt her, okay?" Liam said, inching toward the two. "Look, i'm the one you want to fight, right? I'm the one who killed you, remember? I doubt you remember. You're just the General's puppet now. Alright then, the General wants me alive. You kill her and i'll kill myself. You'll lose your prize." The General was in the limo, listening to the conversation through a device built inside of Erik.

After a few moments, Erik released Izobel and pushed her violently to the ground. Before Erik could make another move, Liam cracked open the earth and pushed Erik inside using the wind. Mason stomped on the ground, causing the hole to cave in. "We only have a few minutes," he said. "Lets get outta here."

Izobel clutched her neck for a moment, she had been minutes away from death. She quickly stood up and ran to the car. "Get in!" She ordered both of them. Liam had saved her, even though she had saved him already, she wasn't going to just leave him there. When both were in she put the car in reverse and sped off in the opposite direction that the General was in. She drove around for a while before going to the house because she wanted to make sure the General wasn't following her. "We're screwed. If the General has more of those things then we don't stand a chance against him." She stated as she pulled into the garage.

[Liam/Mason]

"Perhaps we should join forces like I had suggested," Liam shrugged. "My men and yours working together, not killing each other. It'd be nice for a change, wouldn't it? Look, we're all gonna be dead if we don't get rid of these super soldiers and the lab they come from."

Liam got out of the car and walked inside the house without permission. He already felt at home in the mansion he use to inhabit. Mason just looked over at Izobel and smiled. He knew it was dangerous for Liam to be in the house, but he had saved Izobel. "I better warn everyone not to attack him," he chuckled.

Liam went straight to the kitchen and opened up the fridge. He pulled out a bunch of leftovers and started eating them cold. "This tastes so good," he moaned.

[Elena]

"What are you doing here?" Syrena asked from behind Liam. She was standing in the doorway to the kitchen in complete shock. He was the last person she expected to be in the house. She had thought she got away from him when Mason found her.

Izobel looked over at Mason. "I hope we're doing the right thing," she said softly. She squeezed Mason's hand before getting out of the car and walking into the house. After everything she went through, she felt like she wanted a beer, or something alcoholic. She also needed a nap.

[Liam/Mason]

Liam turned around and dropped the fork in his hand when he realized who it was in the doorway. "Uh....we had a run in with a common enemy. Izobel and Mason were kind enough to let me stay here for the night. I'm a guest, so I promise to be on my best behavior," he smirked. "Where's mini Syrena?" he asked. Liam knew exactly what her name was, but he didn't want to say it.

"Thank you for letting him come over," Mason said, following her into the house. He peeked his head in the kitchen and then kept walking. He wanted to chat with the guys guarding all the weapons.

[Elena]

"She's playing." Syrena couldn't believe that Izobel would let Liam come in, not with everything he had done. "Why did you have one of your men follow me?" She figured that if they were on common grounds then she was safe.

Izobel explained what was happening to some of the people she saw in the living room and told them to pass it along. She went up to her room and got undressed, walking into the adjoining bathroom and turning on the shower. The water was as hot as she could stand it, though still hot enough to burn her skin. It helped relax her muscles after the stressful day.

[Liam/Mason]

"Well, I wanted to know where I could find you. I thought maybe we could talk when you cooled down," he chuckled. "I'm sorry if he scared you. It was stupid. I shouldn't have done it and I understand how it might come off as creepy." Liam put the leftovers away and walked over to Syrena. "We're on the same team now, you know. At least...at this moment we are. It's kind of nice."

"Do you have a boyfriend now? I mean, you must have had one. You have a little girl, after all." Liam didn't know who the guy had been, but he was hoping that Syrena was back on the market.

[Elena]

"No, I don't have a boyfriend, haven't in years," Syrena answered reluctantly. She knew that just because Liam was on the same side as Izobel and Mason for the moment, didn't mean that he had changed. She didn't want her daughter growing up around his world. She wanted the best for her and would do whatever she had to to keep her out of it. Curiosity was eating at her, she wanted to know who the common enemy was, but at the same time she didn't want to know. She didn't want to get more involved.

[Liam/Mason]

"Well that's good. I don't have any competition," he chuckled. "I thought girls liked bad boys. Females are so fickle. We'll i'm good again, for the time being, so maybe we could go out. I know we can't actually leave the house, but we could always have a date here in this big old mansion. Little Syrena could join us. I wouldn't mind."

Mason finished his work with the weapons and then joined Izobel upstairs. He undressed and walked in the shower. "Feeling stressed my little Izobel?" he asked, shampooing his hair. "We should probably attack the lab tomorrow before anymore soldiers are made."

[Elena]

"I can't," said Syrena, shaking her head. "The only reason I am here was because I was scared of what you might do to me if you found out I had any contact with your brother or Izobel. I know what you've done to humans, mutants, people. I've spent the last three years learning about what you did. I can't let my daughter be around that." With that she turned away and started to walk out of the kitchen and back upstairs. Part of her still liked Liam, but it was buried under the fear.

Izobel turned to look at Mason as he climbed in. "What if their are more of those soldiers at the lab? I don't know if storming it would be smart, it may just get our men killed. We don't even know how to kill them."

[Liam/Mason]

Liam was going to let her go, but at the last moment, he jogged after her and followed her up the stairs. "Look, your daughter's going to need some kind of manly role model. I've noticed there's no guy around. I can be the guy! I'll behave, I promise! Life's seemed pretty pointless for the last three years. I never thought we were a mistake." Liam raced to the top of the stairs and tried to block her off. "What I did was bad, I realize that. I was angry that Elena had been taken from me. It was my fault, but I was set on blaming everyone else. Please give me a chance to redeem myself. Izobel did and she wasn't disappointed," he smirked.

"They must be pumped full of all kinds of different mutations. We can't afford to wait though. Maybe Erik's all they have right now. We need to get him out of the way. Not to mention, seeing him just messes with our heads. I think that was the point."

[Elena]

Syrena stood there for several minutes in silence, mentally fighting with herself. She was worried on how things would go if she said yes, but he didn't change. There was a chance she would be digging herself into a deep hole she wouldn't be able to get out of. "Alright. You get one chance and one chance only. One mistake that shows me you haven't changed and it's over." She really hoped she was doing the right thing. She said nothing of the fact that Liam was her daughter's father because she wanted to see if he was willing to change. If he proved to her that he was good, she would tell him.

"Maybe we can have Syrena help us with everything. She can go back to her dad's and try to weasel information out of him." Izobel didn't want to send in anyone until they knew how to kill whatever Erik was.
