Lost Actions

Aiden's POV

After doing another short lived mission, Temperence and I make our way back to the Crescent mansion around 8. To find Ace passed out in Ivory's office. I sigh, again wondering why Temp and I had to take care of these oversized children. Temperence wakes him up not all to nicely."Didn't Ivory tell you no drinking?" She quotes annoyed. Ace stood up from the floor shrugging, "I didn't drink, what are you talk about. I just ran I think 8 miles give or take? Oh I got some notes too." He lays some notes I suppose he took on the table. Temperence rolls her eyes handing me the papers.

After reading a few sentences, getting sick of Ace's writing, I lay them back down on the table. "You expect us to believe that? Lukas could be lying. " I say. Ace brushes his hair out of his face with a free hand, before pointing at me judgmentally. "Listen kid. You're here to get payed. You're here to help out. So I'd figure I'd spare you from looking at the mess of a man in those cells." Temperence looks like she was about to slap him. "Might I remind you, you shouldn't be calling us children, when you guys could never take care of yourselves." She snaps at him. I roll my eyes; glaring at the papers. "I first of all, can take care of myself-" He mutters as Ivory walks into her office an hour or so early.

I roll my eyes again, "That's why you had Ivory cover your medical bills?" I mock . "I didn't have her cover, shit if it's her own personal choice!" Ace snaps, "Shut up Percy Jackson." Ivory lays a mountain of papers on the table. "Since you guys are early, before I decide to drink another pot of tea, any ideas?" She asks sounding tired. "We still need to pursue another interrogation. Because Ace's notes suck, and you should be in misconduct." Temperence says coldly. I laugh slightly before crossing my arms as Ace and Ivory silently bicker with their arms.

Ivory's POV

Ace decided to piss off our friends. I quickly flip him off, ignoring Temp's comment. "Okay to the bloody, jail cell why not," I mutter leading them once again. You'd think at the least my team mate would remember the routes in the mansion by now. I point to Lukas's cell as my 3 companions sit around it, on chairs they gathered on their way down. Ace was the first to say something, "Hey Luke get your head out of the toilet!" he says, which was true. Aiden and Temp chuckle as Lukas stands up wiping his face with a sleeve. "It's not my fault the food here is shit." He mutters, "Hey I already answered your questions Ace,why the fuck are you guys meeting me again? You must really miss me-" He says sitting down on the cell's bed, and as I shoot a small crystal at his shoulder. "WHAT THE FUCK!" His says going to pull it out with still broken fingers; giving up a second later.

"No talking, unless it's on topic." I say crossing my arms. Temperence glances at me for a moment, before looking back at Lukas, "What made you do this?" She asks calmly. Lukas makes a dramatic movement with his arms, "What made Ivory break my fingers? What made us leave our home; hating our parents-" I shoot another crystal at him, this one going through his right hand. Lukas almost falls off of the cell bed. "FUCKIN' SHIT." He cusses standing up now up against the cell bars. "Start actually talking or I'll cut off your hands." I threaten. Ace and Aiden laugh as Temperence crosses her arms annoyed. "I AM TALKING WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!" Lukas holds up both of his hands in surrender as his voice was saying something else, "You wouldn't kill me because that's what I want."

I was ready to hurt him as Temperence stands up, "Listen here big brother..." she says, "I know you better than almost everyone here." I roll my eyes as she continues. "You aren't suicidal. You aren't cold hearted. You most certainly wouldn't disrespect Ivory like this. You told me you wouldn't do anything useless. This whole senario about you destroying a dozen small towns- isn't working well for you to get Copper back if you still care about her, and it most certainly, isn't getting you Ivory. Or Fixing your deformed face." Temperence stops talking as if lost in thought. Lukas looked lost for a minute, "I-I only did what I did for the people living in misery-poverty. They needed help. I needed help." He goes to cross his arms pouting, before choosing to put them hesitantly between the bars. "Heal me please?" He asks as I growl.

As Temperence moves to do so, I stand up in anger throwing a dust dark at the disgusting pure black eye. Lukas cuffs both broken hands over the eye, as Temperence whirls around to glare at me. I choke out words, "You want help?" I mock, "Then heal like a human, it might get you some humanity back. As for what you told Ace earlier. I'm going to make use of iteven if you mght've lied. You can watch as I hate you. I doesn't bother me at all." I walk out of the cell holding area. Leaving my companions looking at me in shock. I didn't care if I had loved him. I wasn't going to let his, terrorist attacks continue. I wasn't going to continue interrogating him either.

Temperence's POV

I watched Ivory walk away. To think that two years ago, if she would've went through this stress her heart and or lungs would have collapsed. It was good she didn't keep Lukas around to some extent. "Lukas do you still want me to help-" I go to ask as he shakes his head frantically as he crawls into a ball on the cell bed. I look at Aiden expecting some advice from him, but nothing. "Luke, I'll come down here later with decent food for you." Ace says, "Take it was a gift, telling you to not fuck with my cousin." He walks away as Aiden and I stand there questioning why we were indeed still there.

I glance at Aiden for a moment. "Lukas you missed Aiden proposing to me. Since you know, we all die earlier than civilians. We were going to have a wedding when we knew you were alive." I start, "You should be 21 by now. I'm 20." Aiden smiles patting my back, walking away as Lukas started crying louder. "You missed alot trying to help others as the criminal you've become." I continue. "If you can love anyone... fix up your act." I walk away after my fiance. Leaving my brother wilt in his own sorrow.
