SHIFT 2 - Purgatory

Planning

"His name is Vasquez, not sure if it's his first or last name, but they call him the master of darkness." Reginald began.

Lucifer appeared out of thin air. Clydesworth was a little more obvious as Nagisa snorted. Yet it was the third vampire that drew the boy's attention. He stood before the window, bending the daylight around his body. Only a born vamp would ever have even tried something so strange. Siris nodded to the teen.

"You knew we were all there, didn't you?" Siris asked in his soft, almost slow manor.

"Yes." Nagisa stated.

"Can I ask..." He paused, one hand resting on Reginald's shoulder. His free hand gestured towar dthe rest of the room.

"... to see what..." He was cut off.

"No, I think dad has something else in mind, when he showed me your skill." Nagisa said. He finished the piece of bread he had been dunking into his soup.

Standing up, he walked around the table. Going to each window, he drew the blinds. Lucifer shut off the over head lights. Nagisa's voice came from the depths of the darkness.

"You bend light around your body. That's how you hide yourself, isn't it?" He asked.

"Basically, but even in the dark, there is light." The vampire insisted.

"Which is how you first hid yourself from me last night." Nagisa paced a bit.

"But you also knew, I would turn on the light. You assumed that I would make it harder for you to hide, when in fact, I made it easier for you." He went on.

"Yes." Siris lips twitched, a small smile touched them.

"But, we will be hunting a person so used to the darkness, that he would evade any and all light. He would make sure we fight him on his grounds. In his world there will be no light for you to bend." Nagisa stated as he came up to the man.

"Which leads to why dad wants you at my side." He held his hand out.

"He fueled me, so I can show you, my trick." Nagisa's hand glowed.

The light shot out to surround the vampire before him. Siris laughed. The lightening bending away from him, making it appear Reginald sat alone.

"Amazing!" He cried. Nagisa closed his hand. Lucifer was there to catch him.

"Is only those few moments all you can give me? I need to know." Siris asked, not unkindly.

"When we go against Ellington, I will be at 1000 percent, I assure you." Nagsia allowed Lucifer to help him back to his seat. He wasn't as weak as the vampire was making it out, Nagisa just loved the attention. He thanked Luce, as he sat back beside Ryu.

"Normally I can hold the lighting for around twenty minutes, without it draining me too much. Thirty ..." Nagisa waved his hand.

"That's a stretch. Yet..." He paused, frowning down at the table.

"Those numbers came when Araida was testing me, so without having fought first to reach wherever we are going. Also, I wasn't as strong as I am now." He said.

"When you used it at the fight by the castle..." Xavier's voice came from somewhere off to the right.

"Didn't I say this was a private meeting?" Renignald growled.

"Yeah, which means we just had to find a different way to listen in." Ozzie pointed out.

"WHO ELSE IS HERE!?" Reginald bellowed.

Hari and Faraday stepped out from the half wall that separated the dinning area from where the waiters went with their plates. Mori jumped down from the chandelier. Marcus shoved the curtain off of him. Nagisa smiled, he had seen the archivists when he went to shut the curtains. They looked around.
